>> welcome to our tuesday's
00:00:13.036 --> 00:00:13.870
Broadcast of the gospel truth.
00:00:13.870 --> 00:00:16.072
Today i'm continuing to teach on
00:00:16.072 --> 00:00:18.274
Don't limit god. i tell you i
00:00:18.274 --> 00:00:20.443
Love this. this has transformed
00:00:20.443 --> 00:00:22.278
My life, and i believe that god
00:00:22.278 --> 00:00:24.747
Is touching many, many
00:00:24.747 --> 00:00:25.882
People's lives through this.
00:00:25.882 --> 00:00:27.717
God has more for you than
00:00:27.784 --> 00:00:29.319
God has more for you than what you've experienced.
00:00:29.385 --> 00:00:31.054
What you've experienced. i believe that without
00:00:31.121 --> 00:00:32.255
I believe that without exception. there's not a
00:00:32.322 --> 00:00:33.289
Exception. there's not a single one of us that have
00:00:33.356 --> 00:00:35.058
Single one of us that have fulfilled everything that god
00:00:35.125 --> 00:00:38.027
Fulfilled everything that god wants us to do. and i don't care
00:00:38.094 --> 00:00:39.362
Wants us to do. and i don't care how successful you are, what...
00:00:39.429 --> 00:00:41.131
How successful you are, what... how big of an impact you've
00:00:41.197 --> 00:00:42.432
How big of an impact you've made, there's always more. so
00:00:42.499 --> 00:00:43.666
I've got this book that i wrote
00:00:44.334 --> 00:00:45.768
On this. i've got two little
00:00:45.768 --> 00:00:48.004
Booklets for you, and
00:00:48.004 --> 00:00:49.873
We've also got some other
00:00:49.873 --> 00:00:50.840
Things. we'll give out
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:51.608
Information about that at the
00:00:51.608 --> 00:00:53.143
End of the program today.
00:00:53.143 --> 00:00:54.711
Yesterday i just
00:00:54.711 --> 00:00:56.179
Briefly started sharing out of
00:00:56.246 --> 00:00:58.715
Briefly started sharing out of genesis, chapter 6. this is
00:00:58.781 --> 00:01:00.750
Genesis, chapter 6. this is where... or excuse me, it's
00:01:00.817 --> 00:01:02.018
Where... or excuse me, it's genesis, chapter 11, where the
00:01:02.085 --> 00:01:03.553
Genesis, chapter 11, where the lord came down to see the tower
00:01:03.620 --> 00:01:06.055
Lord came down to see the tower of babel that people were
00:01:06.122 --> 00:01:07.757
Of babel that people were building. and it says here in
00:01:07.824 --> 00:01:09.792
Genesis, chapter 11, and verse
00:01:09.859 --> 00:01:12.729
Genesis, chapter 11, and verse 6, the lord said, behold, the
00:01:12.795 --> 00:01:14.130
6, the lord said, behold, the people is one, and they
00:01:14.197 --> 00:01:16.332
People is one, and they have all one language; and
00:01:16.399 --> 00:01:17.934
Have all one language; and this they begin to do:
00:01:18.001 --> 00:01:19.469
This they begin to do: and now nothing will be
00:01:19.536 --> 00:01:21.004
And now nothing will be restrained from them, which they
00:01:21.070 --> 00:01:22.572
Restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. and so this
00:01:22.639 --> 00:01:25.208
Is a testimony to how powerful
00:01:25.275 --> 00:01:27.110
Is a testimony to how powerful unity is. it was because they
00:01:27.177 --> 00:01:29.179
Unity is. it was because they were one, they were united in
00:01:29.245 --> 00:01:31.748
Were one, they were united in one language. and, he says,
00:01:31.814 --> 00:01:34.017
One language. and, he says, nothing that they have imagined
00:01:34.083 --> 00:01:36.452
Nothing that they have imagined will be restrained unto them.
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:38.488
Will be restrained unto them. and so the lord confounded their
00:01:38.555 --> 00:01:40.089
And so the lord confounded their language, divided their
00:01:40.156 --> 00:01:41.391
Language, divided their languages, and that took away
00:01:41.457 --> 00:01:43.426
Languages, and that took away the unity, and it, and it
00:01:43.493 --> 00:01:45.595
The unity, and it, and it thwarted their plans to build
00:01:45.662 --> 00:01:47.864
Thwarted their plans to build this tower of babel. but
00:01:47.931 --> 00:01:49.499
This tower of babel. but something that was a challenge
00:01:49.566 --> 00:01:51.167
Something that was a challenge to god's plans and purposes for
00:01:51.234 --> 00:01:53.603
To god's plans and purposes for the human race is something that
00:01:53.670 --> 00:01:55.872
The human race is something that is really powerful, and that's
00:01:55.939 --> 00:01:58.107
Is really powerful, and that's the way that the imagination is.
00:01:58.174 --> 00:02:00.376
The way that the imagination is. let me use this verse out of
00:02:00.443 --> 00:02:01.911
Let me use this verse out of isaiah, chapter 26, verse 3, and
00:02:01.978 --> 00:02:04.914
Isaiah, chapter 26, verse 3, and if you can receive this truth
00:02:04.981 --> 00:02:06.583
If you can receive this truth that i'm sharing right here,
00:02:06.649 --> 00:02:07.450
That i'm sharing right here, this would be a key that would
00:02:07.517 --> 00:02:11.287
This would be a key that would unlock things for you the rest
00:02:11.354 --> 00:02:13.223
Unlock things for you the rest of your life. this is
00:02:13.289 --> 00:02:14.457
Of your life. this is really, really powerful.
00:02:14.524 --> 00:02:16.159
It says in isaiah 26:3,
00:02:16.226 --> 00:02:19.395
It says in isaiah 26:3, thou wilt keep him
00:02:19.462 --> 00:02:20.763
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is
00:02:20.830 --> 00:02:23.566
In perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he
00:02:23.633 --> 00:02:25.735
Stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. and did you
00:02:25.802 --> 00:02:27.670
Know that the word that was
00:02:27.737 --> 00:02:29.038
Know that the word that was translated, the hebrew word that
00:02:29.105 --> 00:02:30.707
Translated, the hebrew word that was translated mind right here
00:02:30.773 --> 00:02:32.141
Was translated mind right here is the hebrew word yetser,
00:02:32.208 --> 00:02:34.444
Is the hebrew word yetser, y-e-t-s-e-r, and it means
00:02:34.510 --> 00:02:38.581
Y-e-t-s-e-r, and it means conception. now that's
00:02:38.648 --> 00:02:40.950
Conception. now that's important. did you know
00:02:41.017 --> 00:02:42.885
Important. did you know conception, we don't just... the
00:02:42.952 --> 00:02:45.588
Conception, we don't just... the stork doesn't bring children.
00:02:45.655 --> 00:02:47.223
Stork doesn't bring children. you have to conceive children.
00:02:47.290 --> 00:02:49.392
You have to conceive children. this is saying that in your mind
00:02:49.459 --> 00:02:51.794
This is saying that in your mind is where you conceive peace, and
00:02:51.861 --> 00:02:54.631
Is where you conceive peace, and you could go on to say all kinds
00:02:54.697 --> 00:02:56.266
You could go on to say all kinds of other things. and
00:02:56.332 --> 00:02:57.500
Of other things. and specifically, this word
00:02:57.567 --> 00:02:58.935
Specifically, this word y-e-t-s-e-r that was translated
00:02:59.002 --> 00:03:02.572
Y-e-t-s-e-r that was translated mind here, it was also
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:04.907
Mind here, it was also translated imagination. that's
00:03:04.974 --> 00:03:07.343
Translated imagination. that's what was used over in many of
00:03:07.410 --> 00:03:09.879
What was used over in many of these different things. like for
00:03:09.946 --> 00:03:11.047
Instance, in genesis, chapter 6,
00:03:11.114 --> 00:03:12.949
Instance, in genesis, chapter 6, where it says that the lord saw
00:03:13.016 --> 00:03:15.051
Where it says that the lord saw that the imagination of men's
00:03:15.118 --> 00:03:17.520
That the imagination of men's hearts were only evil
00:03:17.587 --> 00:03:20.056
Hearts were only evil continually. did you know that
00:03:20.123 --> 00:03:21.724
That's that same word. so
00:03:21.791 --> 00:03:23.626
That's that same word. so putting these things together,
00:03:23.693 --> 00:03:25.662
Putting these things together, if mind here is the word that
00:03:25.728 --> 00:03:28.398
If mind here is the word that means conception and it was also
00:03:28.464 --> 00:03:30.700
Means conception and it was also translated imagination in other
00:03:30.767 --> 00:03:32.802
Translated imagination in other places, what this means is that
00:03:32.869 --> 00:03:35.104
Places, what this means is that your imagination is the part of
00:03:35.171 --> 00:03:37.940
Your imagination is the part of your mind where you conceive
00:03:38.007 --> 00:03:40.410
Your mind where you conceive things. that is powerful. if you
00:03:40.476 --> 00:03:44.480
Things. that is powerful. if you could understand this, it would
00:03:44.547 --> 00:03:46.983
Could understand this, it would just transform the way that you
00:03:47.050 --> 00:03:48.785
Just transform the way that you receive from god. everything
00:03:48.851 --> 00:03:50.887
Receive from god. everything that you receive from god has to
00:03:50.953 --> 00:03:52.522
That you receive from god has to first of all be conceived. there
00:03:52.588 --> 00:03:55.258
First of all be conceived. there are people that are praying for
00:03:55.325 --> 00:03:56.759
Are people that are praying for miracles, they're praying for
00:03:56.826 --> 00:03:58.027
Miracles, they're praying for healing, and they're asking god
00:03:58.094 --> 00:04:01.431
Healing, and they're asking god to heal them, but they've never
00:04:01.497 --> 00:04:02.999
To heal them, but they've never conceived healing. i know most
00:04:03.066 --> 00:04:06.869
Conceived healing. i know most people don't think this way.
00:04:06.936 --> 00:04:07.904
People don't think this way. this is challenging most
00:04:07.970 --> 00:04:09.205
This is challenging most people's belief, but this is why
00:04:09.272 --> 00:04:10.673
People's belief, but this is why most people don't see healing
00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:12.375
Most people don't see healing manifest. it's because they will
00:04:12.442 --> 00:04:13.910
Manifest. it's because they will pray and ask god to heal them,
00:04:13.976 --> 00:04:15.778
Pray and ask god to heal them, but they've never seen themself
00:04:15.845 --> 00:04:17.480
But they've never seen themself healed. they've never conceived
00:04:17.547 --> 00:04:19.282
Healed. they've never conceived it in their imagination. you
00:04:19.349 --> 00:04:21.451
It in their imagination. you know, i've used this example
00:04:21.517 --> 00:04:22.685
Know, i've used this example many times and so i know some of
00:04:22.752 --> 00:04:24.354
Many times and so i know some of you have heard it, but it's the
00:04:24.420 --> 00:04:25.288
You have heard it, but it's the best example that i've got. and
00:04:25.355 --> 00:04:27.724
Best example that i've got. and those who haven't heard it, i
00:04:27.790 --> 00:04:28.958
Those who haven't heard it, i think this will really, really
00:04:29.025 --> 00:04:30.226
Think this will really, really help them. but i heard a story
00:04:30.293 --> 00:04:32.495
Help them. but i heard a story about a man who was a minister.
00:04:32.562 --> 00:04:34.530
About a man who was a minister. his wife had poor eyesight. she
00:04:34.597 --> 00:04:38.167
His wife had poor eyesight. she was legally blind, and she had
00:04:38.234 --> 00:04:40.636
Was legally blind, and she had glasses that were as thick as a
00:04:40.703 --> 00:04:42.405
Glasses that were as thick as a coke bottle, the bottom of a
00:04:42.472 --> 00:04:44.073
Coke bottle, the bottom of a coke bottle, and even with the
00:04:44.140 --> 00:04:45.308
Coke bottle, and even with the glasses she still couldn't see
00:04:45.375 --> 00:04:46.776
Glasses she still couldn't see very well. so she had been
00:04:46.843 --> 00:04:49.245
Very well. so she had been trying to believe that god would
00:04:49.312 --> 00:04:52.615
Trying to believe that god would heal her, but she had been
00:04:52.682 --> 00:04:54.083
Heal her, but she had been prayed for so many times that
00:04:54.150 --> 00:04:55.585
Prayed for so many times that she just was disappointed. she
00:04:55.651 --> 00:04:57.086
She just was disappointed. she didn't want to be disappointed
00:04:57.153 --> 00:04:58.287
Didn't want to be disappointed again. so they had a healing
00:04:58.354 --> 00:05:00.089
Again. so they had a healing evangelist come to their church,
00:05:00.156 --> 00:05:01.958
Evangelist come to their church, and she avoided him because she
00:05:02.024 --> 00:05:03.726
And she avoided him because she didn't want to go through
00:05:03.793 --> 00:05:04.994
Didn't want to go through another prayer with no results.
00:05:05.061 --> 00:05:07.363
But the last night of the
00:05:08.998 --> 00:05:10.666
But the last night of the meeting, this healing evangelist
00:05:10.733 --> 00:05:12.635
Meeting, this healing evangelist just cornered her and said, i
00:05:12.702 --> 00:05:15.204
Just cornered her and said, i want to pray for your eyes. so
00:05:15.271 --> 00:05:16.606
Want to pray for your eyes. so he made her take her glasses off
00:05:16.672 --> 00:05:19.008
He made her take her glasses off and then he prayed for her, and
00:05:19.075 --> 00:05:20.276
And then he prayed for her, and after he prayed, he said, now
00:05:20.343 --> 00:05:21.677
After he prayed, he said, now can you see? so she started to
00:05:21.744 --> 00:05:23.813
Can you see? so she started to open her eyes and he said, shut
00:05:23.880 --> 00:05:25.114
Open her eyes and he said, shut your eyes. and she shut her eyes
00:05:25.181 --> 00:05:27.350
Your eyes. and she shut her eyes thinking well, how can i tell if
00:05:27.417 --> 00:05:29.051
Thinking well, how can i tell if i can see? and he said the
00:05:29.118 --> 00:05:30.620
I can see? and he said the second time, now can you see? so
00:05:30.686 --> 00:05:32.855
Second time, now can you see? so she started to open her eyes and
00:05:32.922 --> 00:05:34.190
She started to open her eyes and he said, shut your eyes. and she
00:05:34.257 --> 00:05:36.259
He said, shut your eyes. and she was confused, not understanding
00:05:36.325 --> 00:05:37.860
Was confused, not understanding what he was doing. finally, the
00:05:37.927 --> 00:05:39.495
What he was doing. finally, the third time he says, now can you
00:05:39.562 --> 00:05:41.464
Third time he says, now can you see? and she started to open her
00:05:41.531 --> 00:05:44.033
See? and she started to open her eyes, and he says, i'm not
00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:45.435
Eyes, and he says, i'm not asking you to open your eyes.
00:05:45.501 --> 00:05:47.270
Asking you to open your eyes. you've got to see yourself
00:05:47.336 --> 00:05:49.205
You've got to see yourself seeing on the inside before you
00:05:49.272 --> 00:05:52.341
Seeing on the inside before you can see it on the outside. he
00:05:52.408 --> 00:05:54.577
Can see it on the outside. he didn't use this terminology, but
00:05:54.644 --> 00:05:56.078
Didn't use this terminology, but what he said is you've got in
00:05:56.145 --> 00:05:57.313
What he said is you've got in your imagination, you have to
00:05:57.380 --> 00:05:58.915
Your imagination, you have to see yourself, you have to
00:05:58.981 --> 00:06:00.283
See yourself, you have to conceive this healing before you
00:06:00.349 --> 00:06:03.286
Conceive this healing before you give the birth to it. and so
00:06:03.352 --> 00:06:05.488
Give the birth to it. and so finally she understood what he
00:06:05.555 --> 00:06:06.923
Finally she understood what he was saying and so she kept her
00:06:06.989 --> 00:06:08.324
Was saying and so she kept her eyes closed and she just prayed
00:06:08.391 --> 00:06:10.660
Eyes closed and she just prayed in tongues for a while, and
00:06:10.726 --> 00:06:12.295
In tongues for a while, and finally she says, i can see. i
00:06:12.361 --> 00:06:15.364
Finally she says, i can see. i see it. and he says, now open
00:06:15.431 --> 00:06:17.600
See it. and he says, now open your eyes. and she opened her
00:06:17.667 --> 00:06:19.335
Your eyes. and she opened her eyes and her eyesight was
00:06:19.402 --> 00:06:21.037
Eyes and her eyesight was restored, she could see clearly.
00:06:21.103 --> 00:06:23.372
Restored, she could see clearly. but see there's so many people
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:25.007
But see there's so many people that they just pray for a
00:06:25.074 --> 00:06:26.275
That they just pray for a healing, but they've never seen
00:06:26.342 --> 00:06:27.543
Healing, but they've never seen themself sick . there are people
00:06:27.610 --> 00:06:29.745
Themself sick . there are people that have dealt with like food
00:06:29.812 --> 00:06:31.080
That have dealt with like food allergies their whole life and
00:06:31.147 --> 00:06:32.615
Allergies their whole life and so they see themself, they think
00:06:32.682 --> 00:06:34.851
So they see themself, they think sick, they think this way.
00:06:34.917 --> 00:06:36.519
Sick, they think this way. they're praying for a healing,
00:06:36.586 --> 00:06:38.154
They're praying for a healing, but have you ever seen yourself
00:06:38.221 --> 00:06:39.789
But have you ever seen yourself like going out and eating
00:06:39.856 --> 00:06:41.257
Like going out and eating something that you couldn't eat
00:06:41.324 --> 00:06:42.558
Something that you couldn't eat before? have you ever seen it?
00:06:42.625 --> 00:06:45.094
Most people would say well, no,
00:06:46.329 --> 00:06:48.231
Most people would say well, no, because they don't use their
00:06:48.297 --> 00:06:49.198
Because they don't use their imagination like that. we will
00:06:49.265 --> 00:06:50.867
Imagination like that. we will use our imagination to picture
00:06:50.933 --> 00:06:52.635
Use our imagination to picture negative things. we've been,
00:06:52.702 --> 00:06:54.637
Negative things. we've been, we've been taught to do that.
00:06:54.704 --> 00:06:57.073
We've been taught to do that. and like say for instance if
00:06:57.139 --> 00:06:58.274
And like say for instance if you've got diabetes or something
00:06:58.341 --> 00:07:00.076
You've got diabetes or something like that, there are people that
00:07:00.142 --> 00:07:02.011
Like that, there are people that have seen themself having a
00:07:02.078 --> 00:07:04.313
Have seen themself having a com... going into a diabetic
00:07:04.380 --> 00:07:06.315
Com... going into a diabetic coma if they don't get the right
00:07:06.382 --> 00:07:07.683
Coma if they don't get the right amount of insulin, if they re...
00:07:07.750 --> 00:07:09.118
Amount of insulin, if they re... eat the wrong food you can see
00:07:09.185 --> 00:07:11.053
Eat the wrong food you can see yourself failing. and most of us
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.489
Yourself failing. and most of us have gone there in our
00:07:13.556 --> 00:07:14.624
Have gone there in our imagination and have seen
00:07:14.690 --> 00:07:16.058
Imagination and have seen failure. but very few people
00:07:16.125 --> 00:07:18.361
Failure. but very few people will allow themself to go there
00:07:18.427 --> 00:07:20.029
Will allow themself to go there in their imagination and see
00:07:20.096 --> 00:07:21.464
In their imagination and see themself well. can you see
00:07:21.531 --> 00:07:23.499
Themself well. can you see yourself living without
00:07:23.566 --> 00:07:24.867
Yourself living without injections? can you see yourself
00:07:24.934 --> 00:07:27.937
Injections? can you see yourself overcoming the sickness? the
00:07:28.004 --> 00:07:29.639
Overcoming the sickness? the disease? see there are some
00:07:29.705 --> 00:07:31.741
Disease? see there are some people that their whole life
00:07:31.807 --> 00:07:32.875
People that their whole life revolves around their sickness.
00:07:32.942 --> 00:07:34.343
Revolves around their sickness. when they go on a vacation, they
00:07:34.410 --> 00:07:35.745
When they go on a vacation, they take all of their medications
00:07:35.811 --> 00:07:37.213
Take all of their medications they've got to make sure that
00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:38.147
They've got to make sure that they've got it all. they've got
00:07:38.214 --> 00:07:39.549
They've got it all. they've got to make sure that they don't go
00:07:39.615 --> 00:07:40.816
To make sure that they don't go to certain places when the
00:07:40.883 --> 00:07:42.518
To certain places when the pollen count is high because
00:07:42.585 --> 00:07:44.654
Pollen count is high because they have allergies, and they
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.389
They have allergies, and they see this. their whole life
00:07:46.455 --> 00:07:47.990
See this. their whole life revolves around it. they see it.
00:07:48.057 --> 00:07:49.725
Revolves around it. they see it. they think sick. but you've got
00:07:49.792 --> 00:07:52.194
They think sick. but you've got to start seeing yourself, use
00:07:52.261 --> 00:07:54.096
To start seeing yourself, use your imagination to see yourself
00:07:54.163 --> 00:07:57.166
Your imagination to see yourself well. and this isn't limited to
00:07:57.233 --> 00:07:59.402
Well. and this isn't limited to just physical healing. it's the
00:07:59.468 --> 00:08:00.937
Just physical healing. it's the same thing with prosperity.
00:08:01.003 --> 00:08:02.705
Same thing with prosperity. there's people that see
00:08:02.772 --> 00:08:03.873
There's people that see themselves poor. you think poor.
00:08:03.940 --> 00:08:06.576
Themselves poor. you think poor. you talk poor. you plan poor.
00:08:06.642 --> 00:08:10.513
You talk poor. you plan poor. if, you know, somebody was to
00:08:10.580 --> 00:08:11.981
If, you know, somebody was to say, well, could you ever do...
00:08:12.048 --> 00:08:13.382
Say, well, could you ever do... oh, i, i'd, i'd never see myself
00:08:13.449 --> 00:08:15.851
Oh, i, i'd, i'd never see myself doing something like that. well,
00:08:15.918 --> 00:08:17.486
Doing something like that. well, if you can't see it on the
00:08:17.553 --> 00:08:18.688
If you can't see it on the inside, you won't see it on the
00:08:18.754 --> 00:08:20.623
Inside, you won't see it on the outside. this is basically what
00:08:20.690 --> 00:08:22.725
Proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7,
00:08:22.792 --> 00:08:24.727
Proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7, as saying is when it says, as he
00:08:24.794 --> 00:08:26.295
As saying is when it says, as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
00:08:26.362 --> 00:08:29.498
Did you know the way you think
00:08:29.565 --> 00:08:31.100
Did you know the way you think is going to be reproduced in
00:08:31.167 --> 00:08:32.868
Is going to be reproduced in your life? not necessarily the
00:08:32.935 --> 00:08:34.570
Your life? not necessarily the way you desire. you could be
00:08:34.637 --> 00:08:36.939
Way you desire. you could be desiring healing, and you could
00:08:37.006 --> 00:08:40.142
Desiring healing, and you could pray for it and long for it, but
00:08:40.209 --> 00:08:41.677
Pray for it and long for it, but do you ever see yourself well?
00:08:41.744 --> 00:08:45.014
Do you ever see yourself well? can you see yourself going out
00:08:45.081 --> 00:08:47.049
Can you see yourself going out and doing certain things? can
00:08:47.116 --> 00:08:49.051
And doing certain things? can you see yourself prospering? can
00:08:49.118 --> 00:08:51.120
You see yourself prospering? can you see yourself? there are some
00:08:51.187 --> 00:08:52.388
You see yourself? there are some people that think, well i, i
00:08:52.455 --> 00:08:53.589
People that think, well i, i just couldn't see myself in a
00:08:53.656 --> 00:08:55.291
Just couldn't see myself in a brand new car. well, then you'll
00:08:55.358 --> 00:08:57.727
Brand new car. well, then you'll never have it. you got to first
00:08:57.793 --> 00:08:59.528
Never have it. you got to first of all see it. you can't go
00:08:59.595 --> 00:09:00.763
Of all see it. you can't go anywhere in your body that you
00:09:00.830 --> 00:09:03.432
Anywhere in your body that you haven't already been in your
00:09:03.499 --> 00:09:04.900
Haven't already been in your mind. now, you can use that in
00:09:04.967 --> 00:09:07.903
Mind. now, you can use that in multiple ways. one of the ways
00:09:07.970 --> 00:09:09.505
Multiple ways. one of the ways you can use that is if you don't
00:09:09.572 --> 00:09:11.107
You can use that is if you don't ever think on negative things.
00:09:11.173 --> 00:09:13.175
Ever think on negative things. if you never see yourself, like
00:09:13.242 --> 00:09:15.344
If you never see yourself, like if you never get into
00:09:15.411 --> 00:09:16.245
If you never get into pornography, if you don't ever
00:09:16.312 --> 00:09:17.847
Pornography, if you don't ever watch ungodly movies that
00:09:17.913 --> 00:09:19.582
Watch ungodly movies that portray adultery and
00:09:19.649 --> 00:09:20.916
Portray adultery and fornication, things like that.
00:09:20.983 --> 00:09:22.752
Fornication, things like that. if you never see yourself
00:09:22.818 --> 00:09:25.087
If you never see yourself committing those things on the
00:09:25.154 --> 00:09:26.756
Committing those things on the inside, then you can't commit it
00:09:26.822 --> 00:09:28.824
Inside, then you can't commit it in your physical body. but on
00:09:28.891 --> 00:09:31.293
In your physical body. but on the positive side, if you can't
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.362
The positive side, if you can't see yourself prospering, like
00:09:33.429 --> 00:09:35.698
See yourself prospering, like say for instance, some of you
00:09:35.765 --> 00:09:37.066
Say for instance, some of you have a desire to, maybe you have
00:09:37.133 --> 00:09:39.835
Have a desire to, maybe you have a desire to start your own
00:09:39.902 --> 00:09:40.936
A desire to start your own business, you have a desire to
00:09:41.003 --> 00:09:42.271
Business, you have a desire to have a ministry, or it could be
00:09:42.338 --> 00:09:44.440
Have a ministry, or it could be multiple things. and you have
00:09:44.507 --> 00:09:46.442
Multiple things. and you have the desire, and you may pray for
00:09:46.509 --> 00:09:48.377
The desire, and you may pray for it, but have you ever seen it
00:09:48.444 --> 00:09:50.312
It, but have you ever seen it happening? did you know i knew
00:09:50.379 --> 00:09:53.115
Happening? did you know i knew that god told me someday i would
00:09:53.182 --> 00:09:54.984
That god told me someday i would go on television because he had
00:09:55.051 --> 00:09:56.318
Go on television because he had planted in my heart a vision
00:09:56.385 --> 00:09:58.554
Planted in my heart a vision that i would reach people all
00:09:58.621 --> 00:10:00.222
That i would reach people all over the world. and television
00:10:00.289 --> 00:10:02.158
Over the world. and television is just a great way of reaching
00:10:02.224 --> 00:10:04.326
Is just a great way of reaching out and, and reaching large
00:10:04.393 --> 00:10:06.295
Out and, and reaching large numbers of people so i knew that
00:10:06.362 --> 00:10:08.497
Numbers of people so i knew that someday i would go on
00:10:08.564 --> 00:10:09.665
Someday i would go on television. i had people offer
00:10:09.732 --> 00:10:11.767
Television. i had people offer me free airtime on television.
00:10:11.834 --> 00:10:15.037
Me free airtime on television. but did you know what? i just
00:10:15.104 --> 00:10:16.338
But did you know what? i just knew it wasn't time. and for a
00:10:16.405 --> 00:10:17.740
Knew it wasn't time. and for a period of time it wasn't the
00:10:17.807 --> 00:10:19.241
Period of time it wasn't the appropriate time for me, but i
00:10:19.308 --> 00:10:21.410
Appropriate time for me, but i could never see myself doing it,
00:10:21.477 --> 00:10:24.113
Could never see myself doing it, and so i never did it. but then
00:10:24.180 --> 00:10:26.282
And so i never did it. but then in the summer of 1998, i could
00:10:26.348 --> 00:10:28.784
In the summer of 1998, i could spend a lot of time talking
00:10:28.851 --> 00:10:30.419
Spend a lot of time talking about how this happened, but all
00:10:30.486 --> 00:10:32.154
About how this happened, but all of a sudden, i just knew it was
00:10:32.221 --> 00:10:34.423
Of a sudden, i just knew it was time for me to start making
00:10:34.490 --> 00:10:35.891
Time for me to start making plans to go on television. and
00:10:35.958 --> 00:10:37.860
Plans to go on television. and when i saw that, i immediately
00:10:37.927 --> 00:10:41.197
When i saw that, i immediately sat down and started designing
00:10:41.263 --> 00:10:43.232
Sat down and started designing what the set would look like. i
00:10:43.299 --> 00:10:45.334
What the set would look like. i started thinking and at that
00:10:45.401 --> 00:10:46.669
Started thinking and at that time, i didn't know a single
00:10:46.736 --> 00:10:48.904
Time, i didn't know a single television minister that didn't
00:10:48.971 --> 00:10:51.107
Television minister that didn't tape like a service in a church
00:10:51.173 --> 00:10:52.908
Tape like a service in a church service, and they were wearing a
00:10:52.975 --> 00:10:54.009
Service, and they were wearing a three-piece suit, they were
00:10:54.076 --> 00:10:55.644
Three-piece suit, they were standing up in front of a church
00:10:55.711 --> 00:10:57.747
Standing up in front of a church and ministering, and that's all
00:10:57.813 --> 00:10:59.381
And ministering, and that's all i'd ever seen. but when the lord
00:10:59.448 --> 00:11:01.484
I'd ever seen. but when the lord spoke to me about going on
00:11:01.550 --> 00:11:02.618
Spoke to me about going on television, i just saw myself
00:11:02.685 --> 00:11:04.420
Television, i just saw myself sitting here just like i'm doing
00:11:04.487 --> 00:11:06.088
Sitting here just like i'm doing right now, with one camera
00:11:06.155 --> 00:11:08.724
Right now, with one camera talking to people, and that's, i
00:11:08.791 --> 00:11:11.093
Talking to people, and that's, i saw it. and i literally got so
00:11:11.160 --> 00:11:13.295
Saw it. and i literally got so excited that for nearly a week,
00:11:13.362 --> 00:11:15.397
Excited that for nearly a week, i never slept more than just a
00:11:15.464 --> 00:11:16.932
I never slept more than just a couple of hours at a time
00:11:16.999 --> 00:11:18.601
Couple of hours at a time because i was drawing and trying
00:11:18.667 --> 00:11:19.702
To imagine and picture what this
00:11:20.369 --> 00:11:22.938
Set would look like. and it has
00:11:22.938 --> 00:11:25.407
Changed some, but it's basically
00:11:25.407 --> 00:11:27.409
The same thing. it's what i call
00:11:27.409 --> 00:11:29.345
Rustic elegance. you know the
00:11:29.345 --> 00:11:31.647
People that designed this set
00:11:31.647 --> 00:11:33.315
That's behind me, they came to
00:11:33.315 --> 00:11:35.084
My house, and they saw how i
00:11:35.151 --> 00:11:36.719
My house, and they saw how i lived and then they started
00:11:36.786 --> 00:11:38.387
Lived and then they started asking questions. and i said,
00:11:38.454 --> 00:11:40.422
Asking questions. and i said, here's the way i want it to be,
00:11:40.489 --> 00:11:41.524
Here's the way i want it to be, and they're, they're the ones
00:11:41.590 --> 00:11:42.992
And they're, they're the ones that i told them i said, i want
00:11:43.058 --> 00:11:44.593
That i told them i said, i want it to be rustic, but i want it
00:11:44.660 --> 00:11:46.529
It to be rustic, but i want it to be rustic elegance. in other
00:11:46.595 --> 00:11:48.831
To be rustic elegance. in other words, i want it to be wood and
00:11:48.898 --> 00:11:50.299
Words, i want it to be wood and stone and have kind of a, a
00:11:50.366 --> 00:11:52.868
Stone and have kind of a, a western look to it because
00:11:52.935 --> 00:11:54.470
Western look to it because that's the way i am. it's the
00:11:54.537 --> 00:11:56.705
That's the way i am. it's the way i dress. i, i wear boots all
00:11:56.772 --> 00:11:58.174
Way i dress. i, i wear boots all the time. that's not to say that
00:11:58.240 --> 00:11:59.842
The time. that's not to say that it's better than anybody else or
00:11:59.909 --> 00:12:01.277
It's better than anybody else or others are better than me. it's
00:12:01.343 --> 00:12:02.778
Others are better than me. it's just, that's who i am, and i saw
00:12:02.845 --> 00:12:05.381
Just, that's who i am, and i saw this and i drew it. and now you
00:12:05.447 --> 00:12:08.117
This and i drew it. and now you can see it with your physical
00:12:08.184 --> 00:12:09.285
Can see it with your physical eyes, but i saw it in my heart.
00:12:09.351 --> 00:12:10.719
Eyes, but i saw it in my heart. you know what, that was my
00:12:10.786 --> 00:12:11.687
You know what, that was my imagination. i conceived all of
00:12:11.754 --> 00:12:14.089
Imagination. i conceived all of this. i conceived the way that
00:12:14.156 --> 00:12:16.625
This. i conceived the way that this program would go that i
00:12:16.692 --> 00:12:17.993
This program would go that i would just be sitting here and
00:12:18.060 --> 00:12:19.662
Would just be sitting here and talking to people. that i
00:12:19.728 --> 00:12:20.796
Talking to people. that i wouldn't be screaming and
00:12:20.863 --> 00:12:22.064
Wouldn't be screaming and yelling and have a handkerchief
00:12:22.131 --> 00:12:23.866
Yelling and have a handkerchief wiping my sweaty brow and
00:12:23.933 --> 00:12:26.168
Wiping my sweaty brow and saying, glory to god-da. that
00:12:26.235 --> 00:12:28.337
Saying, glory to god-da. that was basically the image that i
00:12:28.404 --> 00:12:30.339
Was basically the image that i had seen, and i just knew that's
00:12:30.406 --> 00:12:32.274
Had seen, and i just knew that's not what i am. you know i'm just
00:12:32.341 --> 00:12:35.578
Not what i am. you know i'm just not a flashy person. i don't
00:12:35.644 --> 00:12:39.849
Not a flashy person. i don't scream and yell when i minister,
00:12:39.915 --> 00:12:41.550
Scream and yell when i minister, and stuff and some people don't
00:12:41.617 --> 00:12:43.419
And stuff and some people don't like that. there's other people
00:12:43.485 --> 00:12:44.753
Like that. there's other people that do like it. i, i'm not
00:12:44.820 --> 00:12:46.722
That do like it. i, i'm not criticizing anybody else, but i
00:12:46.789 --> 00:12:48.591
Criticizing anybody else, but i just saw all of these things.
00:12:48.657 --> 00:12:50.326
Just saw all of these things. everything that you're seeing
00:12:50.392 --> 00:12:51.594
Everything that you're seeing now, i saw on the inside of me.
00:12:51.660 --> 00:12:53.762
Did you know we now have $150
00:12:54.396 --> 00:12:56.632
Million worth of buildings and
00:12:56.632 --> 00:12:59.368
Property and assets, and it's
00:12:59.368 --> 00:13:01.503
All debt-free. and i saw all of
00:13:01.570 --> 00:13:04.540
All debt-free. and i saw all of it. when we got ready to start
00:13:04.607 --> 00:13:06.809
It. when we got ready to start building, i sat down with some
00:13:06.876 --> 00:13:09.044
Building, i sat down with some architects, and i saw it. for...
00:13:09.111 --> 00:13:11.647
Architects, and i saw it. for... i knew for a couple of years
00:13:11.714 --> 00:13:13.782
I knew for a couple of years that i was going to have to
00:13:13.849 --> 00:13:14.783
That i was going to have to start building and doing some
00:13:14.850 --> 00:13:16.285
Start building and doing some things, and i prayed about it
00:13:16.352 --> 00:13:17.853
Things, and i prayed about it for a long time. and i remember
00:13:17.920 --> 00:13:19.788
For a long time. and i remember one time when i was in germany,
00:13:19.855 --> 00:13:21.724
One time when i was in germany, i saw a building, that our
00:13:21.790 --> 00:13:23.926
I saw a building, that our building isn't exactly like that
00:13:23.993 --> 00:13:25.861
Building isn't exactly like that but it's similar. and when i saw
00:13:25.928 --> 00:13:27.796
But it's similar. and when i saw it, i said this is what i want.
00:13:27.863 --> 00:13:29.365
It, i said this is what i want. this is what i like. and i saw
00:13:29.431 --> 00:13:32.034
This is what i like. and i saw it. and then when i came back
00:13:32.101 --> 00:13:33.669
It. and then when i came back and i sat down with the
00:13:33.736 --> 00:13:34.570
And i sat down with the architects, i drew on a napkin
00:13:34.637 --> 00:13:37.339
Architects, i drew on a napkin what i wanted our first building
00:13:37.406 --> 00:13:39.108
What i wanted our first building to look like. and i drew
00:13:39.174 --> 00:13:39.742
These wooden beams. and
00:13:40.276 --> 00:13:42.111
We have these wooden
00:13:42.111 --> 00:13:43.178
Beams that are 90,000 pounds
00:13:43.178 --> 00:13:46.348
Each. there's seven of them, and
00:13:46.348 --> 00:13:48.684
They are for sure the largest
00:13:48.684 --> 00:13:51.086
Wooden beams in the state of
00:13:51.086 --> 00:13:53.155
Colorado, and my builder said in
00:13:53.155 --> 00:13:55.591
The, in the united states. i
00:13:55.591 --> 00:13:57.159
Don't know that that's true.
00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:58.327
That seems, seems a little too
00:13:58.327 --> 00:14:00.663
Much, but anyway, they are huge
00:14:00.663 --> 00:14:02.631
Wooden beams. and you know what,
00:14:02.631 --> 00:14:04.400
I drew this, and i said, this is
00:14:04.400 --> 00:14:06.001
What i want this to look like. i
00:14:06.001 --> 00:14:07.569
Drew the clerestory, and i drew
00:14:07.636 --> 00:14:10.839
Drew the clerestory, and i drew all of these things. i had seen
00:14:10.906 --> 00:14:12.308
All of these things. i had seen them. i had prayed about it, and
00:14:12.374 --> 00:14:14.276
Them. i had prayed about it, and this is what i saw in my
00:14:14.343 --> 00:14:16.078
This is what i saw in my heart. i conceived it is
00:14:16.145 --> 00:14:17.780
What this said.
00:14:17.846 --> 00:14:19.048
What this said. that the lord will keep
00:14:19.114 --> 00:14:20.049
That the lord will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind
00:14:20.115 --> 00:14:21.884
Him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed upon him. and the word
00:14:21.951 --> 00:14:23.252
Is stayed upon him. and the word for mind there in the hebrew is
00:14:23.319 --> 00:14:24.787
For mind there in the hebrew is the word that means conception
00:14:24.853 --> 00:14:26.889
The word that means conception and it was translated
00:14:26.956 --> 00:14:28.223
Imagination different times in
00:14:28.290 --> 00:14:30.592
Imagination different times in the bible. your imagination is
00:14:30.659 --> 00:14:32.895
The bible. your imagination is how you conceive things. and you
00:14:32.962 --> 00:14:34.863
How you conceive things. and you know what, you can now come and
00:14:34.930 --> 00:14:36.332
Know what, you can now come and see those buildings. you can see
00:14:36.398 --> 00:14:38.133
All of these things. we have, i
00:14:38.801 --> 00:14:40.736
Think it's 775,000 square feet
00:14:40.736 --> 00:14:44.473
Of buildings, and we are in the
00:14:44.473 --> 00:14:45.674
Process of building millions of
00:14:45.674 --> 00:14:48.677
Square feet of buildings. and i
00:14:48.677 --> 00:14:51.180
Haven't seen it all yet, but i
00:14:51.246 --> 00:14:52.247
Have seen our dorms. i've
00:14:52.815 --> 00:14:54.316
Already got some of those coming
00:14:54.316 --> 00:14:56.318
Up. we've got a, a student
00:14:56.318 --> 00:14:58.287
Activity center that's going to
00:14:58.287 --> 00:14:59.922
Be coming and i've sat down with
00:14:59.922 --> 00:15:02.191
The architects. and i remember
00:15:02.191 --> 00:15:04.426
Talking to these architects for
00:15:04.426 --> 00:15:07.363
A year and a half and drawing
00:15:07.429 --> 00:15:09.365
A year and a half and drawing out these beams and talking
00:15:09.431 --> 00:15:11.200
Out these beams and talking about different things. and we
00:15:11.266 --> 00:15:13.335
About different things. and we actually had been a year and a
00:15:13.402 --> 00:15:15.871
Actually had been a year and a half into the process, i had
00:15:15.938 --> 00:15:17.539
Half into the process, i had spent over a million dollars in
00:15:17.606 --> 00:15:19.608
Spent over a million dollars in architects fees. and it was
00:15:19.675 --> 00:15:22.111
Architects fees. and it was probably closer to a million and
00:15:22.177 --> 00:15:23.812
Probably closer to a million and a half. and when they finally
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.248
A half. and when they finally got it all together so that you
00:15:26.315 --> 00:15:27.783
Got it all together so that you could've built the buildings, is
00:15:27.850 --> 00:15:30.486
Could've built the buildings, is when i said, how much is this
00:15:30.552 --> 00:15:31.720
When i said, how much is this going to cost? and i don't know
00:15:31.787 --> 00:15:34.490
Going to cost? and i don't know about you, but for me, that was
00:15:34.556 --> 00:15:36.325
About you, but for me, that was a major step of faith. in the
00:15:36.392 --> 00:15:38.427
A major step of faith. in the past, everything that god ever
00:15:38.494 --> 00:15:40.195
Past, everything that god ever called me to do, the first thing
00:15:40.262 --> 00:15:41.463
Called me to do, the first thing i'd do is pull out my wallet and
00:15:41.530 --> 00:15:43.365
I'd do is pull out my wallet and o god, i've only got this much
00:15:43.432 --> 00:15:44.767
O god, i've only got this much money, how can i do this? and i
00:15:44.833 --> 00:15:46.368
Money, how can i do this? and i would limit what god could do by
00:15:46.435 --> 00:15:48.904
Would limit what god could do by looking at my own resources and
00:15:48.971 --> 00:15:51.640
Looking at my own resources and what i had. when it came to
00:15:51.707 --> 00:15:53.542
What i had. when it came to these new buildings that we were
00:15:53.609 --> 00:15:55.077
These new buildings that we were building for our bible school,
00:15:55.144 --> 00:15:57.046
Building for our bible school, the lord told me, don't limit me
00:15:57.112 --> 00:15:59.048
The lord told me, don't limit me by you looking at your own
00:15:59.114 --> 00:16:00.482
By you looking at your own wallet, and so i just built what
00:16:00.549 --> 00:16:01.683
I wanted. you know what, we got
00:16:02.351 --> 00:16:04.186
A lot of rock. we've got in, in
00:16:04.186 --> 00:16:06.155
Between all of the, the ceiling
00:16:06.155 --> 00:16:08.991
Is wood panels, and in between
00:16:08.991 --> 00:16:12.161
Each one are these little black
00:16:12.161 --> 00:16:14.196
Strips and they're sound
00:16:14.196 --> 00:16:15.497
Attenuating things that cause
00:16:15.564 --> 00:16:17.366
Attenuating things that cause the acoustics in these buildings
00:16:17.433 --> 00:16:20.669
The acoustics in these buildings to just be perfect. did you know
00:16:20.736 --> 00:16:22.704
To just be perfect. did you know we could've built it much
00:16:22.771 --> 00:16:23.839
We could've built it much cheaper than that? but i didn't
00:16:23.906 --> 00:16:26.141
Cheaper than that? but i didn't look and think how cheap can i
00:16:26.208 --> 00:16:28.377
Look and think how cheap can i build it? again, see this is the
00:16:28.444 --> 00:16:30.279
Build it? again, see this is the way that most people think,
00:16:30.345 --> 00:16:32.481
Way that most people think, especially christians.
00:16:32.548 --> 00:16:34.183
Especially christians. christians think that if we are
00:16:34.249 --> 00:16:35.617
Christians think that if we are going to do it, we've got to do
00:16:35.684 --> 00:16:36.718
Going to do it, we've got to do it the cheapest way possible and
00:16:36.785 --> 00:16:39.088
It the cheapest way possible and stuff like that. you'll have
00:16:39.154 --> 00:16:40.089
Stuff like that. you'll have ministers come up and say you
00:16:40.155 --> 00:16:41.557
Ministers come up and say you know i'm a minister, could you
00:16:41.623 --> 00:16:42.791
Know i'm a minister, could you give me a discount? man, i hate
00:16:42.858 --> 00:16:45.194
Give me a discount? man, i hate that kind of thing. you know
00:16:45.260 --> 00:16:45.994
That kind of thing. you know what that is? that's poverty
00:16:46.061 --> 00:16:47.162
What that is? that's poverty speaking. that's, that's people
00:16:47.229 --> 00:16:49.631
Speaking. that's, that's people thinking that well, if you're a
00:16:49.698 --> 00:16:50.699
Thinking that well, if you're a christian, you can't pay retail.
00:16:50.766 --> 00:16:53.168
Christian, you can't pay retail. you know, you're just poor and
00:16:53.235 --> 00:16:54.470
You know, you're just poor and you're going to have to have
00:16:54.536 --> 00:16:55.270
You're going to have to have people give you discounts.
00:16:55.337 --> 00:16:56.905
People give you discounts. that's a mindset. that's a way
00:16:56.972 --> 00:16:58.607
That's a mindset. that's a way of thinking. that is an
00:16:58.674 --> 00:17:00.142
Of thinking. that is an imagination. and there are some
00:17:00.209 --> 00:17:02.111
Imagination. and there are some of you that you just see
00:17:02.177 --> 00:17:03.412
Of you that you just see yourself poor. you will sit
00:17:03.479 --> 00:17:05.848
Yourself poor. you will sit there and talk about those rich
00:17:05.914 --> 00:17:07.349
There and talk about those rich folks over there. and by the
00:17:07.416 --> 00:17:09.284
Folks over there. and by the very fact that you say those are
00:17:09.351 --> 00:17:11.386
Very fact that you say those are rich folks over there, you have
00:17:11.453 --> 00:17:13.322
Rich folks over there, you have distanced yourself from it. you
00:17:13.388 --> 00:17:15.190
Distanced yourself from it. you are identifying. you have an
00:17:15.257 --> 00:17:16.758
Are identifying. you have an image on the inside of you that
00:17:16.825 --> 00:17:18.961
Image on the inside of you that you are just poor. you can't see
00:17:19.027 --> 00:17:20.629
You are just poor. you can't see yourself prospering. you know
00:17:20.696 --> 00:17:22.731
Yourself prospering. you know there's many, many times, this
00:17:22.798 --> 00:17:24.500
There's many, many times, this doesn't happen just all at once.
00:17:24.566 --> 00:17:26.034
Doesn't happen just all at once. it's, there's many different
00:17:26.101 --> 00:17:27.669
It's, there's many different stages. but i remember one time
00:17:27.736 --> 00:17:29.905
Stages. but i remember one time going out with a man who was my
00:17:29.972 --> 00:17:31.507
Going out with a man who was my media buyer, and this guy was
00:17:31.573 --> 00:17:33.542
Media buyer, and this guy was very well off. i mean, he was
00:17:33.609 --> 00:17:35.210
Very well off. i mean, he was rich, way beyond where i am. and
00:17:35.277 --> 00:17:39.214
Rich, way beyond where i am. and we went out and played at a
00:17:39.281 --> 00:17:40.582
We went out and played at a really fancy golf course. and at
00:17:40.649 --> 00:17:42.918
Really fancy golf course. and at the end, we had caddies. they...
00:17:42.985 --> 00:17:44.553
The end, we had caddies. they... you had to have a caddie. this
00:17:44.620 --> 00:17:45.988
You had to have a caddie. this was one of those highfalutin
00:17:46.054 --> 00:17:47.356
Golf courses. and so at the end
00:17:48.924 --> 00:17:51.193
Golf courses. and so at the end the caddie was cleaning our
00:17:51.260 --> 00:17:52.427
The caddie was cleaning our clubs and it was obvious they
00:17:52.494 --> 00:17:53.862
Clubs and it was obvious they were waiting on us to give them
00:17:53.929 --> 00:17:55.364
Were waiting on us to give them a tip. and so anyway, i went
00:17:55.430 --> 00:17:57.232
A tip. and so anyway, i went over to him, and i said, doug,
00:17:57.299 --> 00:17:58.867
Over to him, and i said, doug, do you have change for a 20? i
00:17:58.934 --> 00:18:01.069
Do you have change for a 20? i was going to give, you know, my
00:18:01.136 --> 00:18:02.738
Was going to give, you know, my caddie a $5 tip. and he just
00:18:02.804 --> 00:18:06.575
Caddie a $5 tip. and he just looked at me, he didn't say
00:18:06.642 --> 00:18:07.709
Looked at me, he didn't say anything but he, he was thinking
00:18:07.776 --> 00:18:10.345
Anything but he, he was thinking differently see than i was. and
00:18:10.412 --> 00:18:12.548
Differently see than i was. and he said, i'll take care of it,
00:18:12.614 --> 00:18:13.982
He said, i'll take care of it, and he went over and gave every
00:18:14.049 --> 00:18:15.684
And he went over and gave every one of the caddies a $20 tip.
00:18:15.751 --> 00:18:19.021
One of the caddies a $20 tip. and it made me feel about...
00:18:19.087 --> 00:18:20.255
And it made me feel about... that big. but it revealed to me
00:18:20.322 --> 00:18:22.457
That big. but it revealed to me that see, i had an image on the
00:18:22.524 --> 00:18:24.893
That see, i had an image on the inside of i, i had a $5 tip
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:28.564
Inside of i, i had a $5 tip faith. this other guy who was a
00:18:28.630 --> 00:18:30.566
Faith. this other guy who was a multimillionaire had a $20 tip
00:18:30.632 --> 00:18:33.235
Multimillionaire had a $20 tip faith. and, not long after that,
00:18:33.302 --> 00:18:35.671
Faith. and, not long after that, i was out to play with a group
00:18:35.737 --> 00:18:37.172
I was out to play with a group of pastors and one of them came
00:18:37.239 --> 00:18:39.241
Of pastors and one of them came up to me and says, hey, do you
00:18:39.308 --> 00:18:40.542
Up to me and says, hey, do you have change for a 20 so i can
00:18:40.609 --> 00:18:42.077
Have change for a 20 so i can give a tip to the caddie? and
00:18:42.144 --> 00:18:43.879
Give a tip to the caddie? and man, i was really thrilled to
00:18:43.946 --> 00:18:45.113
Man, i was really thrilled to say, i'll take care of it, and i
00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:46.682
Say, i'll take care of it, and i went around and gave every one
00:18:46.748 --> 00:18:47.816
Went around and gave every one of the caddies a $20 tip. you
00:18:47.883 --> 00:18:50.052
Of the caddies a $20 tip. you know i've changed my way of
00:18:50.118 --> 00:18:51.653
Know i've changed my way of thinking. i've, i, i've actually
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:53.288
Thinking. i've, i, i've actually had waitresses before that came
00:18:53.355 --> 00:18:55.891
Had waitresses before that came and i was witnessing to them,
00:18:55.958 --> 00:18:57.292
And i was witnessing to them, and i'll just give them a $50 or
00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:58.961
And i'll just give them a $50 or $100 tip when the bill is only
00:18:59.027 --> 00:19:01.396
$100 tip when the bill is only 20 or $30. and it just shocks
00:19:01.463 --> 00:19:04.199
20 or $30. and it just shocks them but man, that's cheap to be
00:19:04.266 --> 00:19:05.601
Them but man, that's cheap to be able to witness to people. i've
00:19:05.667 --> 00:19:08.036
Able to witness to people. i've changed the way that i look at
00:19:08.103 --> 00:19:09.471
Changed the way that i look at things. you've got to be able to
00:19:09.538 --> 00:19:12.474
Things. you've got to be able to see yourself prosperous on the
00:19:12.541 --> 00:19:14.743
See yourself prosperous on the inside before you will see it on
00:19:14.810 --> 00:19:17.546
Inside before you will see it on the outside. you've got to see
00:19:17.613 --> 00:19:19.781
The outside. you've got to see things. you conceive things in
00:19:19.848 --> 00:19:21.683
Things. you conceive things in your imagination. i remember
00:19:21.750 --> 00:19:23.952
Your imagination. i remember building a deck on my house that
00:19:24.019 --> 00:19:25.887
Building a deck on my house that i had out in florissant,
00:19:25.954 --> 00:19:27.089
I had out in florissant, colorado, and it was just dirt.
00:19:27.155 --> 00:19:30.025
Colorado, and it was just dirt. what i did was take a five
00:19:30.092 --> 00:19:31.393
What i did was take a five gallon bucket and i turned it
00:19:31.460 --> 00:19:33.061
Gallon bucket and i turned it upside down and i just sat on
00:19:33.128 --> 00:19:34.796
Upside down and i just sat on that bucket, and i spent hours
00:19:34.863 --> 00:19:37.199
That bucket, and i spent hours just sitting there staring. my
00:19:37.266 --> 00:19:40.836
Just sitting there staring. my wife came out and said, what are
00:19:40.902 --> 00:19:42.237
Wife came out and said, what are you doing? well in my mind i was
00:19:42.304 --> 00:19:44.906
You doing? well in my mind i was picturing how i wanted that deck
00:19:44.973 --> 00:19:47.009
Picturing how i wanted that deck to look. it actually had four
00:19:47.075 --> 00:19:48.610
To look. it actually had four different levels on it, and i
00:19:48.677 --> 00:19:51.179
Different levels on it, and i pictured the railing, how i
00:19:51.246 --> 00:19:52.581
Pictured the railing, how i wanted the railing to look,
00:19:52.648 --> 00:19:53.782
Wanted the railing to look, whether the slats in it were,
00:19:53.849 --> 00:19:55.817
Whether the slats in it were, were horizontal or vertical. and
00:19:55.884 --> 00:19:58.453
Were horizontal or vertical. and i just sat there for hours and
00:19:58.520 --> 00:20:00.856
I just sat there for hours and pictured things. and then i
00:20:00.922 --> 00:20:02.658
Pictured things. and then i pictured the braces that were
00:20:02.724 --> 00:20:04.426
Pictured the braces that were underneath and how i would level
00:20:04.493 --> 00:20:06.028
Underneath and how i would level things out. and i had to see it
00:20:06.094 --> 00:20:08.163
Things out. and i had to see it on the inside before i could
00:20:08.230 --> 00:20:10.198
On the inside before i could build it. but eventually i built
00:20:10.265 --> 00:20:12.734
Build it. but eventually i built and there is a physical deck
00:20:12.801 --> 00:20:14.803
And there is a physical deck that reflects what i saw on the
00:20:14.870 --> 00:20:16.638
That reflects what i saw on the inside. i conceived it. this is
00:20:16.705 --> 00:20:19.441
Inside. i conceived it. this is why we build blueprints when you
00:20:19.508 --> 00:20:21.710
Why we build blueprints when you go to building something. you
00:20:21.777 --> 00:20:22.778
Go to building something. you say i want this room to be, you
00:20:22.844 --> 00:20:24.346
Say i want this room to be, you know, 20 by 30 or whatever it
00:20:24.413 --> 00:20:26.214
Know, 20 by 30 or whatever it is. and that's one thing but
00:20:26.281 --> 00:20:28.050
Is. and that's one thing but then to... but to have it done
00:20:28.116 --> 00:20:30.185
Then to... but to have it done exactly the way you see you've
00:20:30.252 --> 00:20:31.753
Exactly the way you see you've got to write it down and that,
00:20:31.820 --> 00:20:33.388
Got to write it down and that, when people can see it, well
00:20:33.455 --> 00:20:35.290
When people can see it, well then, they can go and reproduce
00:20:35.357 --> 00:20:36.858
Then, they can go and reproduce it. you've got to, you've got to
00:20:36.925 --> 00:20:39.795
It. you've got to, you've got to see things on the inside before
00:20:39.861 --> 00:20:41.997
See things on the inside before you can see it on the outside.
00:20:42.064 --> 00:20:43.932
You can see it on the outside. and there are people watching
00:20:43.999 --> 00:20:44.966
And there are people watching this program right now that
00:20:45.033 --> 00:20:46.134
This program right now that you're praying for healing, but
00:20:46.201 --> 00:20:48.136
You're praying for healing, but you've never seen yourself
00:20:48.203 --> 00:20:49.237
You've never seen yourself healed. you're praying for
00:20:49.304 --> 00:20:50.706
Healed. you're praying for prosperity, but you've never
00:20:50.772 --> 00:20:52.374
Prosperity, but you've never seen prosperity. you're praying
00:20:52.441 --> 00:20:54.409
Seen prosperity. you're praying that god would use you in some
00:20:54.476 --> 00:20:56.178
That god would use you in some way, but you've never seen
00:20:56.244 --> 00:20:57.846
Way, but you've never seen yourself being used. all...
00:20:57.913 --> 00:20:58.947
Yourself being used. all... you've got a negative image of
00:20:59.014 --> 00:21:00.849
You've got a negative image of you being a little grasshopper
00:21:00.916 --> 00:21:02.818
You being a little grasshopper up against these giants,
00:21:02.884 --> 00:21:04.720
Up against these giants, numbers, chapter 13, and you
00:21:04.786 --> 00:21:06.555
Numbers, chapter 13, and you just can't see yourself doing
00:21:06.621 --> 00:21:08.523
Just can't see yourself doing what you really desire to do in
00:21:08.590 --> 00:21:10.692
What you really desire to do in your heart. it becomes a
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:13.195
Your heart. it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. i'm
00:21:13.261 --> 00:21:15.630
Self-fulfilling prophecy. i'm going to say something here that
00:21:15.697 --> 00:21:16.832
Going to say something here that might bother you at first but if
00:21:16.898 --> 00:21:18.533
Might bother you at first but if you'd receive it, it could set
00:21:18.600 --> 00:21:19.801
You'd receive it, it could set you free. but your life is today
00:21:19.868 --> 00:21:23.004
You free. but your life is today the way you see it being. and i
00:21:23.071 --> 00:21:25.841
The way you see it being. and i know some people, that's not
00:21:25.907 --> 00:21:27.008
Know some people, that's not true. man, i don't desire this,
00:21:27.075 --> 00:21:29.077
True. man, i don't desire this, this marriage to be this way. i
00:21:29.144 --> 00:21:30.946
This marriage to be this way. i don't desire my finances to be
00:21:31.012 --> 00:21:33.081
Don't desire my finances to be this way. i don't desire my
00:21:33.148 --> 00:21:34.316
This way. i don't desire my health to be that way. it may,
00:21:34.383 --> 00:21:36.084
Health to be that way. it may, may not be what you desire, but
00:21:36.151 --> 00:21:38.387
May not be what you desire, but it is what you've seen. you see
00:21:38.453 --> 00:21:41.323
It is what you've seen. you see yourself. you place limits, like
00:21:41.390 --> 00:21:43.258
Yourself. you place limits, like some people may think, well i've
00:21:43.325 --> 00:21:44.593
Some people may think, well i've got cancer. i didn't see myself
00:21:44.659 --> 00:21:46.595
Got cancer. i didn't see myself having cancer. but no, you saw
00:21:46.661 --> 00:21:48.663
Having cancer. but no, you saw yourself as only human, and you
00:21:48.730 --> 00:21:50.866
Yourself as only human, and you saw yourself inferior to cancer.
00:21:50.932 --> 00:21:53.902
Saw yourself inferior to cancer. and so when the diagnosis came,
00:21:53.969 --> 00:21:56.138
And so when the diagnosis came, you just embraced it because
00:21:56.204 --> 00:21:57.606
You just embraced it because that's what they say. i've had
00:21:57.672 --> 00:21:59.307
That's what they say. i've had people tell me that i had to go
00:21:59.374 --> 00:22:00.942
People tell me that i had to go into the hospital and have open
00:22:01.009 --> 00:22:02.544
Into the hospital and have open heart surgery, but i couldn't
00:22:02.611 --> 00:22:03.779
Heart surgery, but i couldn't see it. and i told them, no. and
00:22:03.845 --> 00:22:06.314
See it. and i told them, no. and i have never had open heart
00:22:06.381 --> 00:22:07.649
I have never had open heart surgery and i'm not ever going
00:22:07.716 --> 00:22:08.850
Surgery and i'm not ever going to have open heart surgery
00:22:08.917 --> 00:22:10.051
To have open heart surgery because i couldn't see it. and
00:22:10.118 --> 00:22:11.987
Because i couldn't see it. and what you see, as a man thinks in
00:22:12.053 --> 00:22:13.655
What you see, as a man thinks in his heart, that's the way that
00:22:13.722 --> 00:22:14.956
His heart, that's the way that it is. so part of taking the
00:22:15.023 --> 00:22:17.192
It is. so part of taking the limits off of god, is you're
00:22:17.259 --> 00:22:18.827
Limits off of god, is you're going to have to start using
00:22:18.894 --> 00:22:20.362
Going to have to start using your imagination like
00:22:20.429 --> 00:22:21.630
It says in isaiah 26:3,
00:22:21.696 --> 00:22:24.166
It says in isaiah 26:3, that the lord will
00:22:24.232 --> 00:22:25.033
That the lord will keep you in perfect peace whose
00:22:25.100 --> 00:22:26.435
Keep you in perfect peace whose mind is stayed upon him, that's
00:22:26.501 --> 00:22:27.969
Mind is stayed upon him, that's talking about your
00:22:28.036 --> 00:22:28.837
Talking about your imagination, and you have to
00:22:28.904 --> 00:22:30.772
See yourself prospering.
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.942
>> you say in the name of jesus,
00:22:34.643 --> 00:22:35.844
I'm not going by what i see, i
00:22:35.844 --> 00:22:37.579
Go by what the word of god says.
00:22:37.579 --> 00:22:39.147
There's more than just this
00:22:39.147 --> 00:22:40.449
Physical realm. there's also a
00:22:40.449 --> 00:22:41.983
Spiritual realm. i don't care
00:22:41.983 --> 00:22:43.618
What this looks like, i know
00:22:43.618 --> 00:22:45.754
What god's word says.
00:22:45.754 --> 00:22:47.289
>> i was told that my life
00:22:47.289 --> 00:22:48.390
Would be one of pain
00:22:48.390 --> 00:22:49.891
And isolation and that freedom
00:22:49.891 --> 00:22:52.060
Wasn't even to be hoped for.
00:22:52.060 --> 00:22:53.762
>> i was told i was always
00:22:53.762 --> 00:22:54.896
Going to be in a wheelchair.
00:22:54.896 --> 00:22:56.298
>> i was given three months to
00:22:56.298 --> 00:22:57.899
Live before total heart failure.
00:22:57.899 --> 00:23:00.535
>> hi, i'm julieann hartman from
00:23:00.535 --> 00:23:02.070
Los angeles, california, and i
00:23:02.070 --> 00:23:04.239
Was told that i would never
00:23:04.239 --> 00:23:05.540
Recover from fibromyalgia. i was
00:23:05.540 --> 00:23:08.009
In and out of emergency rooms
00:23:08.009 --> 00:23:09.711
And spent over $300,000
00:23:09.711 --> 00:23:12.180
Searching for a cure to no
00:23:12.247 --> 00:23:14.416
Avail. i was just about to give
00:23:14.416 --> 00:23:16.751
Up when i discovered andrew
