- I WANT TO TALK TO YOU TODAY
- 00:01:00.205 --> 00:01:01.073
- I WANT TO TALK TO YOU TODAY ABOUT THE HAND OF BLESSING.
- 00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:03.575
- ABOUT THE HAND OF BLESSING. IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, WHEN
- 00:01:03.642 --> 00:01:05.043
- IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, WHEN THE FATHER WAS UP THERE IN
- 00:01:05.110 --> 00:01:06.111
- THE FATHER WAS UP THERE IN YEARS AND ABOUT TO PASS, HE
- 00:01:06.178 --> 00:01:08.213
- YEARS AND ABOUT TO PASS, HE WOULD CALL HIS CHILDREN IN
- 00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:09.982
- WOULD CALL HIS CHILDREN IN AND PLACE HIS HAND ON THEIR
- 00:01:10.048 --> 00:01:11.316
- AND PLACE HIS HAND ON THEIR HEAD.
- 00:01:11.383 --> 00:01:12.217
- HEAD. HE WOULD SPEAK LOVING,
- 00:01:12.284 --> 00:01:13.619
- HE WOULD SPEAK LOVING, FAITH FILLED WORDS OVER
- 00:01:13.685 --> 00:01:14.887
- FAITH FILLED WORDS OVER THEM. THESE WORDS WOULD
- 00:01:14.953 --> 00:01:16.822
- THEM. THESE WORDS WOULD HELP SET THE DIRECTION FOR
- 00:01:16.889 --> 00:01:18.190
- HELP SET THE DIRECTION FOR THEIR LIVES.
- 00:01:18.257 --> 00:01:19.191
- THEIR LIVES. IT WAS CALLED THE BLESSING.
- 00:01:19.258 --> 00:01:21.093
- IT WAS CALLED THE BLESSING. IT WAS SO VALUABLE THAT
- 00:01:21.160 --> 00:01:22.761
- IT WAS SO VALUABLE THAT WHEN JACOB TRICKED HIS
- 00:01:22.828 --> 00:01:23.962
- WHEN JACOB TRICKED HIS FATHER, ISAAC, INTO GIVING
- 00:01:24.029 --> 00:01:25.831
- FATHER, ISAAC, INTO GIVING HIM THE BLESSING THAT
- 00:01:25.898 --> 00:01:26.999
- HIM THE BLESSING THAT BELONGED TO HIS OLDER
- 00:01:27.065 --> 00:01:28.066
- BELONGED TO HIS OLDER BROTHER ESAU, ESAU WEPT.
- 00:01:28.133 --> 00:01:30.435
- BROTHER ESAU, ESAU WEPT. HE KNEW HE WAS AT A
- 00:01:30.502 --> 00:01:31.537
- HE KNEW HE WAS AT A DISADVANTAGE.
- 00:01:31.603 --> 00:01:32.538
- DISADVANTAGE. HIS LIFE WOULD BE LIMITED.
- 00:01:32.604 --> 00:01:34.439
- HIS LIFE WOULD BE LIMITED. ISAAC COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
- 00:01:34.506 --> 00:01:36.041
- ISAAC COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. HE WAS SO DISTRAUGHT.
- 00:01:36.108 --> 00:01:37.209
- HE WAS SO DISTRAUGHT. HE SAID, “I'VE GIVEN THE
- 00:01:37.276 --> 00:01:38.577
- HE SAID, “I'VE GIVEN THE BLESSING AND I CANNOT TAKE
- 00:01:38.644 --> 00:01:40.345
- BLESSING AND I CANNOT TAKE IT BACK.” THE BLESSING
- 00:01:40.412 --> 00:01:42.247
- IT BACK.” THE BLESSING WOULD DETERMINE WHETHER
- 00:01:42.314 --> 00:01:43.549
- WOULD DETERMINE WHETHER THEY WOULD LIVE A
- 00:01:43.615 --> 00:01:44.249
- THEY WOULD LIVE A VICTORIOUS LIFE, FILLED
- 00:01:44.316 --> 00:01:45.984
- VICTORIOUS LIFE, FILLED WITH FAVOR, ABUNDANCE,
- 00:01:46.051 --> 00:01:48.053
- WITH FAVOR, ABUNDANCE, OVERCOME WHATEVER CAME
- 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:49.321
- OVERCOME WHATEVER CAME THEIR WAY OR WHETHER IT
- 00:01:49.388 --> 00:01:51.190
- THEIR WAY OR WHETHER IT WOULD BE A LIFE OF
- 00:01:51.256 --> 00:01:51.823
- WOULD BE A LIFE OF STRUGGLE, HARDSHIP, NOT
- 00:01:51.890 --> 00:01:53.659
- STRUGGLE, HARDSHIP, NOT ABLE TO GET AHEAD.
- 00:01:53.725 --> 00:01:55.260
- ABLE TO GET AHEAD. SONS AND DAUGHTERS LOOKED
- 00:01:55.327 --> 00:01:56.895
- SONS AND DAUGHTERS LOOKED FORWARD TO THIS BLESSING.
- 00:01:56.962 --> 00:01:58.764
- FORWARD TO THIS BLESSING. THEY LONGED FOR THE DAY
- 00:01:58.830 --> 00:01:59.831
- THEY LONGED FOR THE DAY WHEN THEY WOULD FEEL THEIR
- 00:01:59.898 --> 00:02:00.899
- WHEN THEY WOULD FEEL THEIR FATHER'S HAND ON THEIR HEAD.
- 00:02:00.966 --> 00:02:02.868
- FATHER'S HAND ON THEIR HEAD. IT WAS A DESTINY MOMENT.
- 00:02:02.935 --> 00:02:05.003
- IT WAS A DESTINY MOMENT. SOME OF US HAVE RECEIVED
- 00:02:05.070 --> 00:02:06.371
- SOME OF US HAVE RECEIVED THIS BLESSING FROM OUR
- 00:02:06.438 --> 00:02:07.272
- THIS BLESSING FROM OUR FATHERS.
- 00:02:07.339 --> 00:02:08.140
- FATHERS. WE HAD GREAT FATHERS THAT
- 00:02:08.207 --> 00:02:09.474
- WE HAD GREAT FATHERS THAT SPOKE FAITH INTO US.
- 00:02:09.541 --> 00:02:11.343
- SPOKE FAITH INTO US. OTHERS, THEIR FATHER WASN'T
- 00:02:11.410 --> 00:02:12.811
- OTHERS, THEIR FATHER WASN'T AROUND, OR MAYBE HE SPOKE
- 00:02:12.878 --> 00:02:14.513
- AROUND, OR MAYBE HE SPOKE DISCOURAGING WORDS, TELLING
- 00:02:14.580 --> 00:02:16.181
- DISCOURAGING WORDS, TELLING YOU WHAT YOU COULDN'T
- 00:02:16.248 --> 00:02:16.815
- YOU WHAT YOU COULDN'T BECOME.
- 00:02:16.882 --> 00:02:17.649
- BECOME. YOU COULD THINK YOU'RE AT A
- 00:02:17.716 --> 00:02:18.550
- YOU COULD THINK YOU'RE AT A DISADVANTAGE.
- 00:02:18.617 --> 00:02:19.785
- DISADVANTAGE. YOU'RE LIMITED.
- 00:02:19.851 --> 00:02:20.586
- YOU'RE LIMITED. YOU DIDN'T GET THIS
- 00:02:20.652 --> 00:02:21.253
- YOU DIDN'T GET THIS BLESSING.
- 00:02:21.320 --> 00:02:22.487
- BLESSING. THAT'S THE WAY DAVID FELT
- 00:02:22.554 --> 00:02:23.822
- THAT'S THE WAY DAVID FELT IN THE SCRIPTURE.
- 00:02:23.889 --> 00:02:24.957
- IN THE SCRIPTURE. HIS FATHER LOOKED DOWN ON
- 00:02:25.023 --> 00:02:26.058
- HIS FATHER LOOKED DOWN ON HIM, SAW HIM AS TOO SMALL,
- 00:02:26.124 --> 00:02:28.694
- HIM, SAW HIM AS TOO SMALL, NOT THAT TALENTED.
- 00:02:28.760 --> 00:02:30.195
- NOT THAT TALENTED. DAVID COULD HAVE LET THAT
- 00:02:30.262 --> 00:02:31.396
- DAVID COULD HAVE LET THAT SOUR HIS LIFE, THOUGHT “I
- 00:02:31.463 --> 00:02:33.031
- SOUR HIS LIFE, THOUGHT “I CAN'T DO ANYTHING GREAT.
- 00:02:33.098 --> 00:02:34.266
- CAN'T DO ANYTHING GREAT. I DIDN'T GET THE BLESSING.”
- 00:02:34.333 --> 00:02:36.001
- I DIDN'T GET THE BLESSING.” BUT DAVID SAID IN PSALM
- 00:02:36.068 --> 00:02:37.569
- BUT DAVID SAID IN PSALM 139, “GOD YOU HAVE PLACED
- 00:02:37.636 --> 00:02:40.472
- 139, “GOD YOU HAVE PLACED YOUR HAND OF BLESSING ON MY
- 00:02:40.539 --> 00:02:42.507
- YOUR HAND OF BLESSING ON MY HEAD.” AS POWERFUL AS THE
- 00:02:42.574 --> 00:02:44.743
- HEAD.” AS POWERFUL AS THE BLESSING IS FROM YOUR
- 00:02:44.810 --> 00:02:45.911
- BLESSING IS FROM YOUR NATURAL FATHER, IMAGINE
- 00:02:45.978 --> 00:02:47.813
- NATURAL FATHER, IMAGINE YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER
- 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:49.281
- YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER PLACING HIS HAND OF

- PLACING HIS HAND OF BLESSING ON YOU.
- 00:02:50.582 --> 00:02:52.150
- BLESSING ON YOU. IN THE SCRIPTURE, JESUS
- 00:02:52.217 --> 00:02:53.785
- IN THE SCRIPTURE, JESUS LAID HANDS ON PEOPLE AND
- 00:02:53.852 --> 00:02:55.454
- LAID HANDS ON PEOPLE AND HEALED THE SICK.
- 00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:56.788
- HEALED THE SICK. PAUL LAID HANDS ON TIMOTHY
- 00:02:56.855 --> 00:02:58.724
- PAUL LAID HANDS ON TIMOTHY TO IGNITE HIS GIFTS.
- 00:02:58.790 --> 00:03:00.459
- TO IGNITE HIS GIFTS. FATHERS LAID HANDS ON
- 00:03:00.525 --> 00:03:01.727
- FATHERS LAID HANDS ON CHILDREN TO BLESS THEM.
- 00:03:01.793 --> 00:03:03.795
- CHILDREN TO BLESS THEM. LAYING ON OF HANDS WAS A
- 00:03:03.862 --> 00:03:05.130
- LAYING ON OF HANDS WAS A SIGNIFICANT MOMENT, A
- 00:03:05.197 --> 00:03:06.798
- SIGNIFICANT MOMENT, A TRANSFER OF POWER AND
- 00:03:06.865 --> 00:03:08.233
- TRANSFER OF POWER AND HEALING.
- 00:03:08.300 --> 00:03:09.401
- HEALING. WHEN THE MOST HIGH GOD
- 00:03:09.468 --> 00:03:10.802
- WHEN THE MOST HIGH GOD PLACED HIS HAND OF BLESSING
- 00:03:10.869 --> 00:03:12.537

- FOR GREATNESS, HE MARKED YOU TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES.
- 00:03:17.876 --> 00:03:20.012
- YOU TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES. YOU'RE A MARKED MAN, A
- 00:03:20.078 --> 00:03:21.680
- YOU'RE A MARKED MAN, A MARKED WOMAN, NOT BY
- 00:03:21.747 --> 00:03:23.315
- MARKED WOMAN, NOT BY DEFEAT, NOT BY FAILURE, BUT
- 00:03:23.382 --> 00:03:25.417
- DEFEAT, NOT BY FAILURE, BUT YOU ARE MARKED BY THE HAND
- 00:03:25.484 --> 00:03:26.918
- YOU ARE MARKED BY THE HAND OF ALMIGHTY GOD.
- 00:03:26.985 --> 00:03:28.654
- OF ALMIGHTY GOD. WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DO CANNOT
- 00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:30.555
- WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DO CANNOT STOP THE BLESSING.
- 00:03:30.622 --> 00:03:32.124
- STOP THE BLESSING. HERE'S THE KEY, THEY DIDN'T
- 00:03:32.190 --> 00:03:33.458
- HERE'S THE KEY, THEY DIDN'T GIVE IT, SO THEY CAN'T TAKE
- 00:03:33.525 --> 00:03:34.960
- GIVE IT, SO THEY CAN'T TAKE IT.
- 00:03:35.027 --> 00:03:35.594
- IT. IT DIDN'T COME FROM PEOPLE,
- 00:03:35.661 --> 00:03:36.695
- IT DIDN'T COME FROM PEOPLE, IT CAME FROM YOUR FATHER IN
- 00:03:36.762 --> 00:03:38.297
- IT CAME FROM YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.
- 00:03:38.363 --> 00:03:39.698
- HEAVEN. SOMETIMES IT'S GOOD TO
- 00:03:39.765 --> 00:03:40.999
- SOMETIMES IT'S GOOD TO CLOSE YOUR EYES AND SEE
- 00:03:41.066 --> 00:03:42.701
- CLOSE YOUR EYES AND SEE THAT HAND OF BLESSING ON
- 00:03:42.768 --> 00:03:44.303

- 00:08:53.778 --> 00:08:54.913
- WORSHIP GOD, THEY WORSHIPPED IDOLS.
- 00:08:54.980 --> 00:08:56.414
- THERE'S A DIFFERENCE
- 00:08:56.514 --> 00:08:57.215
- THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND THOSE THAT
- 00:08:57.282 --> 00:08:58.850
- BETWEEN YOU AND THOSE THAT DON'T HONOR GOD.
- 00:08:58.917 --> 00:09:00.418
- DON'T HONOR GOD. THEY'RE NOT BAD PEOPLE, BUT
- 00:09:00.485 --> 00:09:01.987
- THEY'RE NOT BAD PEOPLE, BUT THERE IS A BLESSING ON YOUR
- 00:09:02.053 --> 00:09:03.421
- THERE IS A BLESSING ON YOUR LIFE THAT WILL CAUSE THINGS
- 00:09:03.488 --> 00:09:05.056
- LIFE THAT WILL CAUSE THINGS TO HAPPEN THAT DEFY THE
- 00:09:05.123 --> 00:09:06.591
- TO HAPPEN THAT DEFY THE ODDS, TO WHERE YOU STAND
- 00:09:06.658 --> 00:09:08.460
- ODDS, TO WHERE YOU STAND OUT, PEOPLE TAKE NOTICE
- 00:09:08.526 --> 00:09:10.061
- OUT, PEOPLE TAKE NOTICE THAT THERE'S SOMETHING
- 00:09:10.128 --> 00:09:10.962
- THAT THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT YOU.
- 00:09:11.029 --> 00:09:12.564
- DIFFERENT ABOUT YOU. WHEN THEY'RE STRUGGLING,
- 00:09:12.631 --> 00:09:13.531
- WHEN THEY'RE STRUGGLING, YOU'RE SUCCEEDING, WHEN
- 00:09:13.598 --> 00:09:15.100
- YOU'RE SUCCEEDING, WHEN THEY'RE COMPLAINING, YOU'RE
- 00:09:15.166 --> 00:09:16.201
- THEY'RE COMPLAINING, YOU'RE PRAISING, WHEN THEY'RE
- 00:09:16.267 --> 00:09:17.602
- PRAISING, WHEN THEY'RE WORRIED, YOU'RE IN PEACE.
- 00:09:17.669 --> 00:09:19.871
- WORRIED, YOU'RE IN PEACE. ISAAC WENT OUT IN THE
- 00:09:19.938 --> 00:09:20.905
- ISAAC WENT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DROUGHT AND
- 00:09:20.972 --> 00:09:22.641
- MIDDLE OF THE DROUGHT AND PLANTED HIS CROPS.
- 00:09:22.707 --> 00:09:24.242
- PLANTED HIS CROPS. HIS NEIGHBORS THOUGHT,
- 00:09:24.309 --> 00:09:25.043
- HIS NEIGHBORS THOUGHT, “WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS GUY?
- 00:09:25.110 --> 00:09:26.478
- “WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS GUY? DOESN'T HE REALIZE THERE'S
- 00:09:26.544 --> 00:09:27.746
- DOESN'T HE REALIZE THERE'S NO WAY TO WATER THE CROPS,
- 00:09:27.812 --> 00:09:29.314
- NO WAY TO WATER THE CROPS, NO WAY ANYTHING WILL GROW?”
- 00:09:29.381 --> 00:09:31.282
- NO WAY ANYTHING WILL GROW?” BUT VERSE 12 SAYS, “THAT
- 00:09:31.349 --> 00:09:32.917
- BUT VERSE 12 SAYS, “THAT SAME YEAR ISAAC'S CROPS
- 00:09:32.984 --> 00:09:35.086
- SAME YEAR ISAAC'S CROPS WERE TREMENDOUS.
- 00:09:35.153 --> 00:09:36.488
- WERE TREMENDOUS. HE HARVESTED A HUNDRED
- 00:09:36.554 --> 00:09:38.156
- HE HARVESTED A HUNDRED TIMES MORE THAN HE PLANTED
- 00:09:38.223 --> 00:09:40.458
- TIMES MORE THAN HE PLANTED BECAUSE THE LORD WAS WITH
- 00:09:40.525 --> 00:09:41.726
- BECAUSE THE LORD WAS WITH HIM.” NOTICE WHERE THE
- 00:09:41.793 --> 00:09:43.561
- HIM.” NOTICE WHERE THE BLESSING CAME FROM. IT
- 00:09:43.628 --> 00:09:44.929
- BLESSING CAME FROM. IT WASN'T THE WATER, THE SOIL,
- 00:09:44.996 --> 00:09:46.831
- WASN'T THE WATER, THE SOIL, THE SEED, IT WAS BECAUSE
- 00:09:46.898 --> 00:09:48.566
- THE SEED, IT WAS BECAUSE THE LORD BLESSED HIM. GOD
- 00:09:48.633 --> 00:09:50.969
- THE LORD BLESSED HIM. GOD CAN FAVOR YOU IN A FAMINE.
- 00:09:51.036 --> 00:09:53.204
- CAN FAVOR YOU IN A FAMINE. HE CAN PROSPER YOU IN A
- 00:09:53.271 --> 00:09:54.406
- HE CAN PROSPER YOU IN A PANDEMIC.
- 00:09:54.472 --> 00:09:55.473
- PANDEMIC. THE CIRCUMSTANCES DON'T
- 00:09:55.540 --> 00:09:56.841
- THE CIRCUMSTANCES DON'T DETERMINE THE BLESSING.
- 00:09:56.908 --> 00:09:58.576
- DETERMINE THE BLESSING. ALL THE CONDITIONS MAY SAY,
- 00:09:58.643 --> 00:10:00.045
- ALL THE CONDITIONS MAY SAY, “YOU CAN'T HAVE A HARVEST,
- 00:10:00.111 --> 00:10:01.146
- “YOU CAN'T HAVE A HARVEST, THERE'S NO WATER.
- 00:10:01.212 --> 00:10:03.048
- YOU CAN'T GET WELL; YOU SAW

- YOU CAN'T GET WELL; YOU SAW THE MEDICAL REPORT. YOU'LL

- THE MEDICAL REPORT. YOU'LL NEVER BREAK THAT ADDICTION;
- 00:10:05.817 --> 00:10:06.718
- NEVER BREAK THAT ADDICTION; YOU'VE HAD IT SO LONG.”
- 00:10:06.785 --> 00:10:08.153
- YOU'VE HAD IT SO LONG.” THAT WOULD BE TRUE, IF YOU
- 00:10:08.219 --> 00:10:09.754
- THAT WOULD BE TRUE, IF YOU WERE THE PHILISTINES.
- 00:10:09.821 --> 00:10:11.289
- THE DIFFERENCE IS GOD HAS
- 00:10:11.389 --> 00:10:12.891
- THE DIFFERENCE IS GOD HAS PLACED HIS HAND OF BLESSING
- 00:10:12.957 --> 00:10:14.726
- PLACED HIS HAND OF BLESSING ON YOU.
- 00:10:14.793 --> 00:10:15.794
- ON YOU. THE BLESSING CAUSES
- 00:10:15.860 --> 00:10:16.895
- THE BLESSING CAUSES SUPERNATURAL THINGS TO
- 00:10:16.961 --> 00:10:18.096
- SUPERNATURAL THINGS TO HAPPEN.
- 00:10:18.163 --> 00:10:19.164
- HAPPEN. GOD IS NOT LIMITED BY YOUR
- 00:10:19.230 --> 00:10:20.532
- GOD IS NOT LIMITED BY YOUR ENVIRONMENT, BY THE
- 00:10:20.598 --> 00:10:21.866
- ENVIRONMENT, BY THE ECONOMY, BY HOW YOU WERE
- 00:10:21.933 --> 00:10:23.401
- ECONOMY, BY HOW YOU WERE RAISED, BY WHO'S NOT FOR
- 00:10:23.468 --> 00:10:25.036
- RAISED, BY WHO'S NOT FOR YOU.
- 00:10:25.103 --> 00:10:25.670
- YOU. HE CONTROLS THE UNIVERSE.
- 00:10:25.737 --> 00:10:27.906
- HE CONTROLS THE UNIVERSE. YOU MAY BE IN A FAMINE,
- 00:10:27.972 --> 00:10:29.541
- YOU MAY BE IN A FAMINE, EVERY THOUGHT SAYS, “YOU'RE
- 00:10:29.607 --> 00:10:30.475
- EVERY THOUGHT SAYS, “YOU'RE STUCK, IT'S NEVER GOING TO
- 00:10:30.542 --> 00:10:32.043
- STUCK, IT'S NEVER GOING TO WORK OUT.” YOU KEEP DOING
- 00:10:32.110 --> 00:10:33.578
- WORK OUT.” YOU KEEP DOING THE RIGHT THING AND YOUR
- 00:10:33.645 --> 00:10:34.746
- THE RIGHT THING AND YOUR TIME IS COMING.
- 00:10:34.813 --> 00:10:35.980
- TIME IS COMING. LIKE WITH ISAAC, GOD IS
- 00:10:36.047 --> 00:10:37.315
- LIKE WITH ISAAC, GOD IS GOING TO SHOW OUT IN YOUR
- 00:10:37.382 --> 00:10:38.416
- GOING TO SHOW OUT IN YOUR LIFE.
- 00:10:38.483 --> 00:10:39.751
- LIFE. YOU WOULD THINK IN THE
- 00:10:39.818 --> 00:10:40.652
- YOU WOULD THINK IN THE MIDDLE OF A DROUGHT, IF
- 00:10:40.719 --> 00:10:42.253
- MIDDLE OF A DROUGHT, IF ISAAC GOT A NORMAL HARVEST
- 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:44.022
- ISAAC GOT A NORMAL HARVEST THAT WOULD BE A MIRACLE.
- 00:10:44.089 --> 00:10:45.423
- THAT WOULD BE A MIRACLE. JUST ENOUGH TO FEED HIS
- 00:10:45.490 --> 00:10:46.491
- JUST ENOUGH TO FEED HIS FAMILY BUT NOTICE HOW GOD
- 00:10:46.558 --> 00:10:48.593
- FAMILY BUT NOTICE HOW GOD WORKS.
- 00:10:48.660 --> 00:10:49.327
- WORKS. ISAAC'S CROPS WERE
- 00:10:49.394 --> 00:10:50.662
- ISAAC'S CROPS WERE TREMENDOUS.
- 00:10:50.729 --> 00:10:51.930
- TREMENDOUS. HE HAD A BANNER YEAR,
- 00:10:51.996 --> 00:10:53.431
- HE HAD A BANNER YEAR, OVERFLOW.
- 00:10:53.498 --> 00:10:54.666
- OVERFLOW. VERSE 15 SAYS, “AND THE
- 00:10:54.733 --> 00:10:56.334
- VERSE 15 SAYS, “AND THE PHILISTINES ENVIED HIM.”
- 00:10:56.401 --> 00:10:58.970
- PHILISTINES ENVIED HIM.” THAT'S PART OF THE BLESSING.
- 00:10:59.037 --> 00:11:00.872
- THAT'S PART OF THE BLESSING. THAT YOU ARE BLESSED WITH
- 00:11:00.939 --> 00:11:01.840
- THAT YOU ARE BLESSED WITH SUCH OVERFLOW, THAT YOUR
- 00:11:01.906 --> 00:11:03.708
- SUCH OVERFLOW, THAT YOUR TALENT COMES OUT IN SUCH
- 00:11:03.775 --> 00:11:05.143
- TALENT COMES OUT IN SUCH GREAT WAYS, THAT YOUR
- 00:11:05.210 --> 00:11:06.578
- GREAT WAYS, THAT YOUR BUSINESS SEES SUCH
- 00:11:06.644 --> 00:11:07.612
- BUSINESS SEES SUCH INCREASE, THAT YOUR
- 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:08.847
- INCREASE, THAT YOUR CHILDREN DO SUCH AWESOME
- 00:11:08.913 --> 00:11:10.281
- CHILDREN DO SUCH AWESOME THINGS, THAT PEOPLE LOOK AT
- 00:11:10.348 --> 00:11:11.950
- THINGS, THAT PEOPLE LOOK AT YOU AND SHAKE THEIR HEAD,
- 00:11:12.016 --> 00:11:13.051
- YOU AND SHAKE THEIR HEAD, AND THINK, “HOW DID THAT
- 00:11:13.118 --> 00:11:14.119
- AND THINK, “HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?
- 00:11:14.185 --> 00:11:14.919
- HAPPEN? WE'RE IN THE SAME DROUGHT,
- 00:11:14.986 --> 00:11:16.321
- WE'RE IN THE SAME DROUGHT, WE HAD THE SAME SEED, THE
- 00:11:16.387 --> 00:11:17.789
- WE HAD THE SAME SEED, THE SAME SOIL AND WE CAN'T GET
- 00:11:17.856 --> 00:11:19.224
- SAME SOIL AND WE CAN'T GET ANYTHING TO GROW.” IT'S NOT
- 00:11:19.290 --> 00:11:21.059
- ANYTHING TO GROW.” IT'S NOT THE ENVIRONMENT, IT'S THE
- 00:11:21.126 --> 00:11:22.360
- THE ENVIRONMENT, IT'S THE BLESSING ON YOUR LIFE.
- 00:11:22.427 --> 00:11:24.863
- BLESSING ON YOUR LIFE. I WONDER IF YOU'RE LIVING
- 00:11:24.929 --> 00:11:26.798
- I WONDER IF YOU'RE LIVING WITH THE BLESSING AND DON'T
- 00:11:26.865 --> 00:11:28.366
- WITH THE BLESSING AND DON'T KNOW IT.
- 00:11:28.433 --> 00:11:29.501
- KNOW IT. ARE YOU CANCELING IT OUT
- 00:11:29.567 --> 00:11:30.769
- ARE YOU CANCELING IT OUT WITH LIMITED THINKING?
- 00:11:30.835 --> 00:11:31.870
- WITH LIMITED THINKING? “IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
- 00:11:31.936 --> 00:11:33.171
- “IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN FOR ME, JOEL.
- 00:11:33.238 --> 00:11:34.439
- YOU DON'T KNOW HOW I WAS
- 00:11:34.539 --> 00:11:35.106
- YOU DON'T KNOW HOW I WAS RAISED; MY BOSS IS NOT FOR
- 00:11:35.173 --> 00:11:37.075
- RAISED; MY BOSS IS NOT FOR ME; I DON'T HAVE A GREAT
- 00:11:37.142 --> 00:11:38.576
- ME; I DON'T HAVE A GREAT PERSONALITY.” THAT'S NOT
- 00:11:38.643 --> 00:11:40.311
- PERSONALITY.” THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT.
- 00:11:40.378 --> 00:11:41.112
- IMPORTANT. WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THE
- 00:11:41.179 --> 00:11:42.714
- WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE,
- 00:11:42.781 --> 00:11:44.649
- CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, HAS PLACED HIS HAND OF
- 00:11:44.716 --> 00:11:45.717
- HAS PLACED HIS HAND OF BLESSING ON YOU.
- 00:11:45.784 --> 00:11:47.185
- NOW START THINKING LIKE
- 00:11:47.285 --> 00:11:48.286
- NOW START THINKING LIKE YOU'RE BLESSED, LIKE YOU
- 00:11:48.353 --> 00:11:49.654
- YOU'RE BLESSED, LIKE YOU HAVE AN ADVANTAGE.
- 00:11:49.721 --> 00:11:51.422
- HAVE AN ADVANTAGE. SOMETIMES WE'RE ENVYING
- 00:11:51.489 --> 00:11:53.158
- SOMETIMES WE'RE ENVYING EVERYONE ELSE.
- 00:11:53.224 --> 00:11:54.425
- EVERYONE ELSE. “I WISH I HAD THEIR TALENT;
- 00:11:54.492 --> 00:11:56.094
- “I WISH I HAD THEIR TALENT; I WISH I HAD HER LOOKS; I
- 00:11:56.161 --> 00:11:57.829
- I WISH I HAD HER LOOKS; I WISH I WAS AS SUCCESSFUL AS
- 00:11:57.896 --> 00:11:59.397
- WISH I WAS AS SUCCESSFUL AS MY NEIGHBOR.” AS LONG AS
- 00:11:59.464 --> 00:12:01.699
- MY NEIGHBOR.” AS LONG AS YOU SEE YOURSELF AS
- 00:12:01.766 --> 00:12:02.567
- YOU SEE YOURSELF AS LACKING, AT A DISADVANTAGE,
- 00:12:02.634 --> 00:12:04.636
- LACKING, AT A DISADVANTAGE, IT'S GOING TO LIMIT YOU.
- 00:12:04.702 --> 00:12:06.271
- IT'S GOING TO LIMIT YOU. IT'S GOOD TO CELEBRATE
- 00:12:06.337 --> 00:12:07.739
- IT'S GOOD TO CELEBRATE OTHERS, BUT THE RIGHT
- 00:12:07.806 --> 00:12:08.940
- OTHERS, BUT THE RIGHT ATTITUDE IS, “FATHER, THANK
- 00:12:09.007 --> 00:12:10.675
- ATTITUDE IS, “FATHER, THANK YOU THAT THE BLESSING ON MY
- 00:12:10.742 --> 00:12:12.277
- YOU THAT THE BLESSING ON MY LIFE IS GOING TO CAUSE ME
- 00:12:12.343 --> 00:12:13.845
- LIFE IS GOING TO CAUSE ME TO BE ENVIED.
- 00:12:13.912 --> 00:12:15.013
- TO BE ENVIED. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO WANT
- 00:12:15.079 --> 00:12:16.080
- PEOPLE ARE GOING TO WANT WHAT I HAVE.” THAT'S WHAT
- 00:12:16.147 --> 00:12:17.882
- WHAT I HAVE.” THAT'S WHAT ALLOWS GOD TO DO GREAT
- 00:12:17.949 --> 00:12:19.284
- ALLOWS GOD TO DO GREAT THINGS, TO PROSPER YOU IN A
- 00:12:19.350 --> 00:12:21.186
- THINGS, TO PROSPER YOU IN A NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENT, TO
- 00:12:21.252 --> 00:12:22.787
- NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENT, TO PROMOTE YOU WHEN YOU
- 00:12:22.854 --> 00:12:23.988
- PROMOTE YOU WHEN YOU WEREN'T NEXT IN LINE, TO
- 00:12:24.055 --> 00:12:25.623
- WEREN'T NEXT IN LINE, TO HEAL YOU WHEN THE REPORT
- 00:12:25.690 --> 00:12:26.925
- HEAL YOU WHEN THE REPORT SAYS THERE'S NO WAY, TO
- 00:12:26.991 --> 00:12:28.459
- SAYS THERE'S NO WAY, TO TAKE YOU WHERE NO ONE IN
- 00:12:28.526 --> 00:12:30.061
- YOUR FAMILY HAS GONE.
- 00:12:30.161 --> 00:12:32.130
- YOUR FAMILY HAS GONE. I KNOW A MAN NAMED ROBERT.
- 00:12:32.197 --> 00:12:33.698
- I KNOW A MAN NAMED ROBERT. HE WAS RAISED BY A SINGLE
- 00:12:33.765 --> 00:12:34.833
- HE WAS RAISED BY A SINGLE MOTHER.
- 00:12:34.899 --> 00:12:35.967
- MOTHER. HE NEVER KNEW HIS
- 00:12:36.034 --> 00:12:36.634
- HE NEVER KNEW HIS BIOLOGICAL FATHER.
- 00:12:36.701 --> 00:12:37.802
- BIOLOGICAL FATHER. WHEN HE WAS FIVE YEARS OLD,
- 00:12:37.869 --> 00:12:39.504
- WHEN HE WAS FIVE YEARS OLD, HIS MOTHER MARRIED A MAN,
- 00:12:39.571 --> 00:12:41.706
- HIS MOTHER MARRIED A MAN, BUT HE WAS VERY MEAN AND
- 00:12:41.773 --> 00:12:42.941
- BUT HE WAS VERY MEAN AND CONDESCENDING.
- 00:12:43.007 --> 00:12:44.175
- CONDESCENDING. HE CONSTANTLY TOLD ROBERT
- 00:12:44.242 --> 00:12:45.543
- HE CONSTANTLY TOLD ROBERT HOW HE WAS NEVER GOING TO
- 00:12:45.610 --> 00:12:46.778
- HOW HE WAS NEVER GOING TO AMOUNT TO ANYTHING.
- 00:12:46.845 --> 00:12:48.079
- AMOUNT TO ANYTHING. AS A CHILD, HE DIDN'T KNOW
- 00:12:48.146 --> 00:12:49.647
- AS A CHILD, HE DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER.
- 00:12:49.714 --> 00:12:50.582
- ANY BETTER. HE BELIEVED THOSE LIES AND
- 00:12:50.648 --> 00:12:51.916
- HE BELIEVED THOSE LIES AND GREW UP VERY INSECURE,
- 00:12:51.983 --> 00:12:53.484
- GREW UP VERY INSECURE, FEELING INFERIOR.
- 00:12:53.551 --> 00:12:55.486
- WHEN HE WAS A TEENAGER, HIS
- 00:12:55.587 --> 00:12:56.821
- WHEN HE WAS A TEENAGER, HIS MOTHER REMARRIED.
- 00:12:56.888 --> 00:12:58.323
- MOTHER REMARRIED. THIS NEW STEPFATHER WAS
- 00:12:58.389 --> 00:12:59.591
- THIS NEW STEPFATHER WAS JUST THE OPPOSITE.
- 00:12:59.657 --> 00:13:00.959
- JUST THE OPPOSITE. HE ENCOURAGED ROBERT AND
- 00:13:01.025 --> 00:13:02.527
- HE ENCOURAGED ROBERT AND TOLD HIM HOW TALENTED HE
- 00:13:02.594 --> 00:13:03.628
- TOLD HIM HOW TALENTED HE WAS AND HOW HE WAS GOING TO
- 00:13:03.695 --> 00:13:05.029
- WAS AND HOW HE WAS GOING TO DO GREAT THINGS.
- 00:13:05.096 --> 00:13:06.564
- DO GREAT THINGS. WHEN HE GRADUATED FROM HIGH
- 00:13:06.631 --> 00:13:07.699
- WHEN HE GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL, HE WAS WORKING AS A
- 00:13:07.765 --> 00:13:09.500
- SCHOOL, HE WAS WORKING AS A JANITOR IN A SMALL TOWN.
- 00:13:09.567 --> 00:13:11.069
- JANITOR IN A SMALL TOWN. HIS FATHER ASKED WHAT HE
- 00:13:11.135 --> 00:13:12.871
- HIS FATHER ASKED WHAT HE WANTED TO DO WITH HIS LIFE.
- 00:13:12.937 --> 00:13:14.739
