00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:05.759
Good morning and welcome to our Curriculus Pray Ministries.
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:08.960
I hope you all woke up this morning with a smile on your face.
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:10.640
Enjoy within your heart.
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:18.000
We will continue on our journey of knowing our mind, restoring our peace, and aligning our life to God's purpose.
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:18.879
Amen.
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:26.719
And this morning we're going to talk about the next level, dissolving internal box to reveal your potential.
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:27.600
Amen.
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:41.679
Ephesians 3 20 states, Now unto him that is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we can ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:42.399
Amen.
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:46.399
May the Lord have a blessing to the hearing and the reading of his word.
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:47.119
Amen.
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:53.439
And before I pray us in, I want you to know that you can do all things through Jesus Christ.
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:57.359
Christ Jesus, which strengthens you.
00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:58.240
Amen.
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.320
Let us go to the Lord in prayer.
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:02.240
Honey Father, we thank you for this day.
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.319
We thank you for waking us up this morning and stirring us on our way.
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:08.799
We thank you, oh God, for traveling grace.
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:15.359
Honey Father, we thank you for going before us and paving the way and paving the way back when it's time for us to go home.
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.439
Honey Father, we thank you for your angels that encamp around us each and every day.
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:21.680
Honey Father, have your way today.
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:27.200
Help us to be true disciples and caregivers for you today, Honey Father.
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:31.280
Whoever you send our way, oh God, help us to be compassionate.
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:33.680
Help us to empathize and sympathize.
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.400
But more importantly, to be compassionate.
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.640
Help us to put ourselves in their place.
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.879
Help us to put ourselves in their shoes and just meet them where they are.
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.680
Heavenly Father, give us the strength to do your will.
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.319
Give us the strength to climb this mountain.
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:51.120
Give us the strength to plant our flag, oh God.
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.760
Because we know better days are ahead.
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.280
We know that greatness is growing inside of us.
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.840
And we thank you, oh God, for leaving us behind some great work to do.
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:07.359
Because you're said in your word, great works have I done, greater shall you do.
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:09.919
And God, we want to be pleasing in your eyesight.
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:13.039
And we want to do greater works, Henry Father.
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.360
We want to bring glory to your name.
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:25.439
We want to be able to look up and say, Thank you, God, for allowing me to be able to do what you have called me to do.
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:27.439
We thank you, oh God, for this moment.
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.719
Enter this podcast, oh God, and have your way.
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.360
I bow down and say, Holy Spirit, take over and guide the way.
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:37.520
It's in Jesus Christ's name we pray.
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:38.479
Amen.
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:39.280
Amen.
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:41.360
Let's get into it this morning.
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.639
So I want you to know there are limits, limitations we can see, right?
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.080
And there are limitations we carry within us, right?
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.120
And some limitations are external.
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.960
Circumstances, resources, opportunities, so many things, right?
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:06.000
We should never minimize the difficulties people face or suggest that they that every obstacle can simply be overcome by thinking differently, right?
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:15.199
But there are also internal barriers that can keep us from moving forward even when an opportunity is available, right?
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:33.919
You know, fear lives on the inside, doubt lives on the inside, past failures, bad mistakes, comparison, shame, perfectism, people pleasing, the fear of ejection, of not being seen, or the fear of not trying again, right?
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.080
All that lives in our mind.
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.520
And sometimes it overtakes our soul and our spirit, right?
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:46.800
And sometimes the greatest obstacle between where we are and where God is leading us is not a lack of ability, amen.
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:52.080
It is the belief that we are incapable of becoming something different, right?
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:53.680
Let me say that again.
00:03:54.000 --> 00:04:07.759
Sometimes the greatest obstacle between where we are and where God is leading us is not a lack of ability, it is the belief that we are incapable of becoming something different.
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:08.639
Amen.
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:15.280
And you know, I gave an example a long time ago when I had been applying for a job, I can't keep doing this thing.
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:17.120
The people were not connecting.
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:22.560
Out of my thousand years of working, this was one job.
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:26.480
I got on those steps and was like, I need a new job.
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:31.839
But before then, before God blessed me, my mindset was like, you can't do nothing else.
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.000
You'll be but CNA the rest of your life.
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:38.000
You ain't gonna do nothing else but this, because this is what this is who you are, right?
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.279
But then God had to nudge my spirit to say, this is not it.
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:42.560
This this is not it.
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:48.399
If you got to get up and drink going to work and crying for me on the steps, then this ain't it, right?
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:52.079
And once I released it to him, he did bless me with another job.
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:59.279
Because then me thinking I wasn't capable turned into I knew I was able, I knew that I was capable.
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:08.079
God has blessed me with so many different jobs that I didn't have no skill set for, but he gave me the skill set once he blessed me with a job, amen.
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:19.040
So I'm telling you, God will give you the strength to climb in a new position, and he will speak through you and give you wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, amen.
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:24.240
So I want you to know that every person carries an internal narrative, right?
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:35.600
It is the story we tell ourselves about who we are, what we are capable of, like I just told you all, what we deserve, what is possible, and what we should expect from life.
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:47.519
But sometimes that story is built from truth, and sometimes it is built from the wounds on the inside, the hurt on the inside, the pain on the inside, amen.
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:54.959
A person who has experienced repeated rejection may begin saying, No one will ever choose me.
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.000
I will never be number one in somebody's life.
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.240
But the devil's alive.
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.800
It is not rejection, it's God's protection, amen.
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:06.319
That's what that is.
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:12.800
A person who has failed over and over again says, I can't do this because I'm always gonna mess up.
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:18.079
But if you don't mess up, you'll never learn and never know how to correct your mistakes, right?
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.759
I believe they said, Well, Disney failed bankruptcy seven times.
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:22.720
You know what I'm saying?
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:26.480
He finally got Disney World off, and look at it now, right?
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:32.000
So sometimes your failures is learning curves, amen.
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:40.879
But you don't learn until once you do get this thing off and running, it's going to be beautiful, more beautiful than you can ever imagine, right?
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:48.000
And sometimes we just don't know how to believe in ourselves.
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:53.199
But God said you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, amen.
00:06:53.360 --> 00:07:01.040
So I'm telling you this morning, whatever you think you can't do, turn over to God, and He's gonna show you how to do it, amen.
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:05.519
Because at the end of the day, don't let your feelings be the factor.
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:10.959
Because our feelings and our emotions lead us down the wrong path a lot of times.
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:11.759
Amen.
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:16.240
Sometimes you can trust your emotions and feelings, and sometimes you can not.
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:20.639
And I want you to know failure is gonna happen.
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:22.160
It's a part of life.
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:23.839
No one's perfect.
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:30.399
Nobody can just do it a precise and pretty job all the time, right?
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.560
There's gonna be miscalculations sometimes.
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.079
It's gonna be bad days sometime.
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.720
It's gonna be, ooh, Lord, help me, Jesus.
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:38.240
Moments that on the job.
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.920
But I'm telling you, it's not who you are.
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.560
Mistakes is an event, amen.
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.439
It doesn't have to become your destiny.
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:53.279
And I want you to know, God often sees more than what you think he can see.
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:57.439
Because he's omnipresent, he can be in all places at one time.
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.639
God sees how the job treats you.
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:02.879
God sees how your home is running.
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.639
God sees how you treat people when you're walking in the streets, right?
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:08.000
You know what I'm saying?
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:18.399
One of the most beautiful things about scripture is that God repeatedly calls people beyond the limitations they could see in themselves, right?
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:20.560
Moses saw his limitations.
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:22.720
Gideon saw his limitations.
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:25.680
Jeremiah questioned his ability, amen.
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:35.039
Peter experienced failure, yet God continued to call, shape, correct, strengthen, and use imperfect people.
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:35.919
Amen.
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:42.559
God does not require us to arrive fully developed because he begins working through our lives.
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.200
He develops us along the way, amen.
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:52.320
That is so important today because sometimes we wait until we feel confident enough before we take that next step.
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:58.159
But I am telling you, confidence often grows after you are obedient and not before.
00:08:58.399 --> 00:08:58.960
Amen.
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:06.000
I'm telling you, like this podcast, I've been having this equipment for two, almost two years, just collecting dust.
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:08.799
And then finally was like, you got to start somewhere.
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:16.320
But it was the fear of the rejection, the fear, ain't nobody gonna listen to this, the fear of I don't know what I'm doing, right?
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:18.559
But it was like you got to start to know what you're doing.
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:23.840
So that's all like, hey, try and get this together and you know, bear with me, amen.
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.639
And it's a beautiful thing because it's drawing me closer to God, you know.
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:39.120
And I would say if I could just touch one soul that see God, and it ain't nothing I did, but something that someone heard that made them go, God, I get it.
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:40.080
God, I see you.
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:41.039
Thank you, Lord.
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.200
I'm just trying to give God the glory, right?
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:50.080
So I know what this means when it's talking about you have to be obedient to see what God is doing right.
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:55.919
Because you may never feel completely ready, you may never feel like you know every detail.
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:57.919
You may still have questions, right?
00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:58.960
And I know I do.
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.200
You may still feel nervous on the inside.
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:02.240
I know I am.
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:09.440
But the thing is, you may still remember what happened last time you tried a store, and I remember that I did it a couple times too.
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:14.399
But I want you to know courage is not the absence of fear.
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:19.440
Courage is choosing to move forward even when fear is present.
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:20.399
You know what I'm saying?
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:29.679
We don't know what's gonna happen when we walk out this door, and when especially when you got issues going on and the household is acting ten times crazy, the kids are acting up too.
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:38.000
But you have to find that step to say, I'm gonna keep on going because I got the courage to take the next step.
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:40.559
I got the courage to ask about it.
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:43.919
Because everybody got different talents and different gifts, you know what I'm saying?
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:50.639
So that's what God wants us to focus on and being good stewards with what he already has given us, right?
00:11:50.799 --> 00:12:00.000
Because at the end of the day, we must be able to break free from the things internal, right?
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:02.080
That limits us.
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:07.279
Because you can break the limp the set of limitations you put on yourself.
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:10.000
Because with God, there is no limitations.
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:12.799
God, if God wants you to do it, think about it.
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:19.679
Noah had to build a whole arc, didn't see a sight of rain, didn't see a pebble of rain.
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.879
And God literally said, build an ork, because I'm sending a flood.
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:27.840
And he was like, Okay, guess what I'm about to do?
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:29.120
I'm about to build this ork.
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:33.279
They laughing at me, they talking about me, they think I'm crazy.
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:34.159
But guess what?
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:40.799
When you get a word from God, you got to move on it, you got to believe in it, and you got to flow in it.
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:41.519
Amen.
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:44.159
You have to replace lies with the truth.
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:55.519
When you know that you are a child of the risen Savior, when you know what Jesus Christ went through just for you to live, you will say, God, I got you.
00:12:55.759 --> 00:13:02.480
Just give me the strength to climb, give me the wisdom to know and help me to breathe when you tell me to breathe.
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:03.279
Amen.
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:10.639
So I'm telling you, this episode is kind of passionate to me because I'm not telling you something somebody told me.
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:13.759
I'm telling you something that I know for myself personally.
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.600
I know how it is to have that internal thought.
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:27.600
I know how it is to have that internal feeling, I know how it is to feel the rejection on the inside, and it blocks your potential.
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:28.799
You'll sit there.
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:30.559
I never come out, I can't do it.
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:31.759
Don't try to do it.
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:36.240
You block your own potential because of what you feel on the inside.
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:40.480
That's why we have to learn how to dissolve those internal blocks.
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:48.240
And if you don't know what your internal blocks feel, ask God before we pray, ask God, say, God, what is blocking me?
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:51.200
What is stopping me from being greater than what I am?
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:55.519
What is stopping me from being greater than what you told me that I would do?
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:59.200
You said, great works that you did, greater shall I do.
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:03.440
So, God, I want to make sure that I'm doing the greater works that you have called me to do.
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:10.799
I know I was special, I know I got talent, I know I got gifts, I know I got purpose, I know I got a destiny to reach.
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:14.480
So, God, help me reach that destiny, amen.
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:19.919
So, I am telling you before we pray, breathe.
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:21.919
Take a deep breath.
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.720
Exhale all things that you know is blocking you.
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:31.360
And thus I breathe in, freedom, I exhale fear.
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:33.600
It would not be a port anymore.
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:41.519
Doubt, self-destruction, destruction, self-sabotage, all that, overthinking.
00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:45.120
Them my blockage points to me.
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:49.039
And that's where you got to break them down and say the devil's a lie.
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:53.919
I'm going to succeed, I'm going to make it because I know who I belong to.
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:55.279
I am wise.
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:56.639
I am healthy.
00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:58.000
I am disciplined.
00:14:58.240 --> 00:14:59.360
I am courageous.
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:00.799
I am compassionate.
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:02.080
I am faithful.
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:03.679
I am obedient.
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:06.639
You got to speak life into your own self.
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:10.080
Life and death lies in the power of the tongue, amen.
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:14.399
You have to say to yourself, I am smart.
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:16.240
I am loved.
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:17.200
Loved.
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:19.200
I am beautiful, amen.
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:20.639
I am growing.
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:21.759
I am learning.
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:23.039
I am healing.
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:24.799
I am becoming.
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:27.440
I'm becoming something great.
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:28.399
Amen.
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:34.399
You got to make a declaration to yourself that you're not worried about nobody else's journey.
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:37.679
You're only worried about what God has called you to focus on.
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:39.039
Stay in your lane.
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:41.200
Quit crossing in everybody else's lane.
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.600
My pastor did a sermon about that before.
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:44.559
You know what I'm saying?
00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:47.440
Like, you know, when people run it, they focus on their lane.
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:49.440
You, everybody's stored in a lane, right?
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:51.440
And you gotta stay in your lanes.
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:53.759
It depends on what races you're running, right?
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:58.799
So I'm telling you, focus on your race right now.
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:03.600
The gifts God has placed within you is amazing.
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:08.159
Don't misuse the gifts that God has placed inside of you.
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:09.840
You know what I'm saying?
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:16.799
Use those gifts for his glory and not to get yourself all high and mighty.
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:19.600
Because I'm telling you, pride will come before destruction.
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:22.080
Pride comes before the fall.
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:22.639
Amen.
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:23.840
Think I said that right.
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:28.559
But I want you to know God wants you to be a humble servant.
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:30.639
He just wants all the glory.
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.200
All the glory and all the honor.
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:33.759
Amen.
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:35.919
Let us go to the Lord in prayer.
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.879
Henry Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for this morning.
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:46.559
We thank you, oh God, for giving us words of advice through this podcast, Heavenly Father.
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:57.279
Holy Father, I pray right now over every listener and including myself, oh God, that we can break every limit, limiting things that's stopping us from moving forward, Heavenly Father.
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:03.200
God, we don't want no more barriers, no more limits stopping us like a speed limit.
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:03.840
Amen.
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:08.480
We only gonna go 20 miles because we feel like we can't hit 35.
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:09.680
The devil's a lie.
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:15.519
God, if you tell us to press forward, stream ahead, steam ahead, God, that's what we want to do.
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:23.599
Honey Father, expose every lie that tells us we cannot grow, we cannot learn, heal, change, or become better, Honey Father.
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:30.079
Expose the voices from our past that have become internal voices in our present, Honey Father.
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.319
When something told us we were not enough, remind us that we're worthy.
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:36.799
We're more than enough, oh God.
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:42.319
When failure convinced us to stop trying, give us courage to begin again, oh God.
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:45.759
Honey Father, where rejection made us afraid to be seen.
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:50.880
Teach us that rejection does not define who we are.
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.599
It does not define our value.
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:59.039
It doesn't define our destiny, and it doesn't define our purpose, oh God.
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:03.039
Holy Father, where comparison may have crept in, oh God.
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.920
We want to be reminded that our journey is uniquely for us.
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:10.640
Because we was all made in your image.
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:12.480
We was all made different.
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:16.160
So God help us to realize how unique we really are.
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:19.440
Let us see what you see in us, oh God.
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:23.759
Because we want to become what you have called us to be, oh God.
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:24.640
Hallelujah.
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:28.960
Thank you, oh God, for seeing us when we can't see ourselves.
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:32.480
Thank you, oh God, for loving us when we couldn't love ourselves.
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.559
Thank you, oh God, for providing for us when we couldn't provide for ourselves.
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:41.680
Thank you, oh God, for making a way out of no way when we were stuck in the ditch, Heavenly Father.
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:46.160
Thank you, oh God, for never leaving us nor forsaking us, oh God.
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:54.079
God, I pray right now that you will awaken every dream within us that we tried to abandon for all the wrong reasons.
00:18:54.319 --> 00:19:00.640
Holy Father, restore our creativity, restore our courage, restore our hope and our faith, oh God.
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:04.559
Help us understand that potential is not permission.
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:08.160
Holy Father, to chase everything.
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:10.400
Ooh, God, that's a word.
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:11.759
Thank you, oh God.
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:16.160
Potential is not permission to chase everything.
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:20.640
Holy Father, give us discernment more each and every day.
00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:22.559
Wisdom more each and every day.
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:31.200
Knowledge and understanding each and every day to know which opportunities align, oh God, with the purpose that you have over us, oh God.
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:34.160
Teach us, oh God, our assignment.
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:36.559
Because we all got an assignment, oh God.
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:42.079
And once we finish one assignment, you give us another one and another one and another one.
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:51.920
God help us to be good stewards, good disciples, good leaders, Honey Father, good mentors, good advisors, Honey Father.
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:57.200
God, give us the gift to do what you have called us to do.
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:03.119
Give us the spirit of gifting, the spirit of giving what you have given us, oh God.
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:06.079
Press down, shaking together, running it over, oh God.
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:08.799
Our cup runneth over each and every day.
00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:10.960
Every time we wake up, it's a blessing.
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:12.960
Every time we lay down, there's a blessing.
00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:13.599
Amen.
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:16.480
God, thank you for the food that we ate yesterday.
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:19.440
Thank you for the beds we laid in last night, oh God.
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:24.079
Thank you, oh God, for healing us, oh God, and restoring us, oh God.
00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:25.759
Thank you, oh God.
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:28.640
That you're doing a great thing in our life.
00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:29.599
Hallelujah.
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:30.640
Thank you, oh God.
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:32.559
I know that you're doing a great work.
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:34.480
I know that better days are ahead.
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:38.720
I know that you're changing us for your for your will, Honey Father.
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:40.240
Thank you, oh God.
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:41.519
Thank you, oh God.
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:42.799
Thank you, oh God.
00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:44.240
Thank you, oh God.
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:45.119
Amen.
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:46.400
Hallelujah.
00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:47.680
Thank you, Jesus.
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.559
We serve a faithful God.
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:51.680
Amen.
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:53.200
Remember that.
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:55.440
God is faithful.
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:58.079
He has never turned his back on you.
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:00.000
He has never shunned you.
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:02.000
He ain't never stoned you.
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:06.880
He ain't never whooped you to the point of I whooped you for no reason.
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:08.480
God is a good God.
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:10.720
He's a wonderful father.
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:11.599
Amen.
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:18.079
Until tomorrow, remember, God is on your side.
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:32.799
And tomorrow we're going to talk about the power of simplifying your life, simplifying your life, clearing unnecessary clutter and creating space for what God is about to do in your life.
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:36.400
And I feel and I know it's going to be amazing.
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:38.160
It's going to be great.
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:40.559
And you're going to give God so much glory.
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:42.319
You're just going to cry it out.
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.200
Because you've been praying for this moment.
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:47.359
You've been hoping for this moment.
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:50.880
You have cried yourself to sleep for what God's about to do.
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:55.119
And I'm telling you right now, thank God in the hallway.
00:21:55.440 --> 00:22:00.480
Thank God wherever you sit before you touch that door of blessings.
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:01.039
Amen.
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:04.160
Because you want to be able to keep what God's about to put in your hands.
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:05.680
I can't wait till tomorrow.
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:07.200
So you have a blessed day.
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:08.799
We're going to get into it tomorrow.
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:09.519
I believe we are.
00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:13.759
I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm telling you, God's doing something great.
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:16.319
Be obedient to what God's telling you to do.
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:16.960
Amen.
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:19.200
This is our Curl Let's Pray Ministries.

00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:05.759
Good morning and welcome to our Curriculus Pray Ministries.
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:08.960
I hope you all woke up this morning with a smile on your face.
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:10.640
Enjoy within your heart.
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:18.000
We will continue on our journey of knowing our mind, restoring our peace, and aligning our life to God's purpose.
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:18.879
Amen.
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:26.719
And this morning we're going to talk about the next level, dissolving internal box to reveal your potential.
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:27.600
Amen.
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:41.679
Ephesians 3 20 states, Now unto him that is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we can ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:42.399
Amen.
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:46.399
May the Lord have a blessing to the hearing and the reading of his word.
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:47.119
Amen.
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:53.439
And before I pray us in, I want you to know that you can do all things through Jesus Christ.
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:57.359
Christ Jesus, which strengthens you.
00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:58.240
Amen.
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.320
Let us go to the Lord in prayer.
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:02.240
Honey Father, we thank you for this day.
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.319
We thank you for waking us up this morning and stirring us on our way.
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:08.799
We thank you, oh God, for traveling grace.
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:15.359
Honey Father, we thank you for going before us and paving the way and paving the way back when it's time for us to go home.
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.439
Honey Father, we thank you for your angels that encamp around us each and every day.
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:21.680
Honey Father, have your way today.
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:27.200
Help us to be true disciples and caregivers for you today, Honey Father.
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:31.280
Whoever you send our way, oh God, help us to be compassionate.
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:33.680
Help us to empathize and sympathize.
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.400
But more importantly, to be compassionate.
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.640
Help us to put ourselves in their place.
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.879
Help us to put ourselves in their shoes and just meet them where they are.
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.680
Heavenly Father, give us the strength to do your will.
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.319
Give us the strength to climb this mountain.
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:51.120
Give us the strength to plant our flag, oh God.
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.760
Because we know better days are ahead.
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.280
We know that greatness is growing inside of us.
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.840
And we thank you, oh God, for leaving us behind some great work to do.
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:07.359
Because you're said in your word, great works have I done, greater shall you do.
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:09.919
And God, we want to be pleasing in your eyesight.
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:13.039
And we want to do greater works, Henry Father.
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.360
We want to bring glory to your name.
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:25.439
We want to be able to look up and say, Thank you, God, for allowing me to be able to do what you have called me to do.
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:27.439
We thank you, oh God, for this moment.
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.719
Enter this podcast, oh God, and have your way.
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.360
I bow down and say, Holy Spirit, take over and guide the way.
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:37.520
It's in Jesus Christ's name we pray.
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:38.479
Amen.
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:39.280
Amen.
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:41.360
Let's get into it this morning.
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.639
So I want you to know there are limits, limitations we can see, right?
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.080
And there are limitations we carry within us, right?
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.120
And some limitations are external.
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.960
Circumstances, resources, opportunities, so many things, right?
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:06.000
We should never minimize the difficulties people face or suggest that they that every obstacle can simply be overcome by thinking differently, right?
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:15.199
But there are also internal barriers that can keep us from moving forward even when an opportunity is available, right?
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:33.919
You know, fear lives on the inside, doubt lives on the inside, past failures, bad mistakes, comparison, shame, perfectism, people pleasing, the fear of ejection, of not being seen, or the fear of not trying again, right?
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.080
All that lives in our mind.
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.520
And sometimes it overtakes our soul and our spirit, right?
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:46.800
And sometimes the greatest obstacle between where we are and where God is leading us is not a lack of ability, amen.
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:52.080
It is the belief that we are incapable of becoming something different, right?
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:53.680
Let me say that again.
00:03:54.000 --> 00:04:07.759
Sometimes the greatest obstacle between where we are and where God is leading us is not a lack of ability, it is the belief that we are incapable of becoming something different.
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:08.639
Amen.
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:15.280
And you know, I gave an example a long time ago when I had been applying for a job, I can't keep doing this thing.
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:17.120
The people were not connecting.
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:22.560
Out of my thousand years of working, this was one job.
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:26.480
I got on those steps and was like, I need a new job.
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:31.839
But before then, before God blessed me, my mindset was like, you can't do nothing else.
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.000
You'll be but CNA the rest of your life.
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:38.000
You ain't gonna do nothing else but this, because this is what this is who you are, right?
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.279
But then God had to nudge my spirit to say, this is not it.
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:42.560
This this is not it.
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:48.399
If you got to get up and drink going to work and crying for me on the steps, then this ain't it, right?
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:52.079
And once I released it to him, he did bless me with another job.
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:59.279
Because then me thinking I wasn't capable turned into I knew I was able, I knew that I was capable.
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:08.079
God has blessed me with so many different jobs that I didn't have no skill set for, but he gave me the skill set once he blessed me with a job, amen.
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:19.040
So I'm telling you, God will give you the strength to climb in a new position, and he will speak through you and give you wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, amen.
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:24.240
So I want you to know that every person carries an internal narrative, right?
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:35.600
It is the story we tell ourselves about who we are, what we are capable of, like I just told you all, what we deserve, what is possible, and what we should expect from life.
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:47.519
But sometimes that story is built from truth, and sometimes it is built from the wounds on the inside, the hurt on the inside, the pain on the inside, amen.
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:54.959
A person who has experienced repeated rejection may begin saying, No one will ever choose me.
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.000
I will never be number one in somebody's life.
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.240
But the devil's alive.
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.800
It is not rejection, it's God's protection, amen.
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:06.319
That's what that is.
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:12.800
A person who has failed over and over again says, I can't do this because I'm always gonna mess up.
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:18.079
But if you don't mess up, you'll never learn and never know how to correct your mistakes, right?
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.759
I believe they said, Well, Disney failed bankruptcy seven times.
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:22.720
You know what I'm saying?
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:26.480
He finally got Disney World off, and look at it now, right?
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:32.000
So sometimes your failures is learning curves, amen.
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:40.879
But you don't learn until once you do get this thing off and running, it's going to be beautiful, more beautiful than you can ever imagine, right?
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:48.000
And sometimes we just don't know how to believe in ourselves.
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:53.199
But God said you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, amen.
00:06:53.360 --> 00:07:01.040
So I'm telling you this morning, whatever you think you can't do, turn over to God, and He's gonna show you how to do it, amen.
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:05.519
Because at the end of the day, don't let your feelings be the factor.
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:10.959
Because our feelings and our emotions lead us down the wrong path a lot of times.
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:11.759
Amen.
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:16.240
Sometimes you can trust your emotions and feelings, and sometimes you can not.
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:20.639
And I want you to know failure is gonna happen.
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:22.160
It's a part of life.
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:23.839
No one's perfect.
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:30.399
Nobody can just do it a precise and pretty job all the time, right?
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.560
There's gonna be miscalculations sometimes.
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.079
It's gonna be bad days sometime.
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.720
It's gonna be, ooh, Lord, help me, Jesus.
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:38.240
Moments that on the job.
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.920
But I'm telling you, it's not who you are.
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.560
Mistakes is an event, amen.
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.439
It doesn't have to become your destiny.
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:53.279
And I want you to know, God often sees more than what you think he can see.
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:57.439
Because he's omnipresent, he can be in all places at one time.
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.639
God sees how the job treats you.
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:02.879
God sees how your home is running.
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.639
God sees how you treat people when you're walking in the streets, right?
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:08.000
You know what I'm saying?
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:18.399
One of the most beautiful things about scripture is that God repeatedly calls people beyond the limitations they could see in themselves, right?
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:20.560
Moses saw his limitations.
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:22.720
Gideon saw his limitations.
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:25.680
Jeremiah questioned his ability, amen.
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:35.039
Peter experienced failure, yet God continued to call, shape, correct, strengthen, and use imperfect people.
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:35.919
Amen.
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:42.559
God does not require us to arrive fully developed because he begins working through our lives.
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.200
He develops us along the way, amen.
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:52.320
That is so important today because sometimes we wait until we feel confident enough before we take that next step.
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:58.159
But I am telling you, confidence often grows after you are obedient and not before.
00:08:58.399 --> 00:08:58.960
Amen.
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:06.000
I'm telling you, like this podcast, I've been having this equipment for two, almost two years, just collecting dust.
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:08.799
And then finally was like, you got to start somewhere.
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:16.320
But it was the fear of the rejection, the fear, ain't nobody gonna listen to this, the fear of I don't know what I'm doing, right?
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:18.559
But it was like you got to start to know what you're doing.
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:23.840
So that's all like, hey, try and get this together and you know, bear with me, amen.
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.639
And it's a beautiful thing because it's drawing me closer to God, you know.
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:39.120
And I would say if I could just touch one soul that see God, and it ain't nothing I did, but something that someone heard that made them go, God, I get it.
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:40.080
God, I see you.
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:41.039
Thank you, Lord.
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.200
I'm just trying to give God the glory, right?
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:50.080
So I know what this means when it's talking about you have to be obedient to see what God is doing right.
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:55.919
Because you may never feel completely ready, you may never feel like you know every detail.
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:57.919
You may still have questions, right?
00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:58.960
And I know I do.
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.200
You may still feel nervous on the inside.
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:02.240
I know I am.
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:09.440
But the thing is, you may still remember what happened last time you tried a store, and I remember that I did it a couple times too.
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:14.399
But I want you to know courage is not the absence of fear.
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:19.440
Courage is choosing to move forward even when fear is present.
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:20.399
You know what I'm saying?
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:29.679
We don't know what's gonna happen when we walk out this door, and when especially when you got issues going on and the household is acting ten times crazy, the kids are acting up too.
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:38.000
But you have to find that step to say, I'm gonna keep on going because I got the courage to take the next step.
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:40.559
I got the courage to ask about it.
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:43.919
Because everybody got different talents and different gifts, you know what I'm saying?
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:50.639
So that's what God wants us to focus on and being good stewards with what he already has given us, right?
00:11:50.799 --> 00:12:00.000
Because at the end of the day, we must be able to break free from the things internal, right?
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:02.080
That limits us.
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:07.279
Because you can break the limp the set of limitations you put on yourself.
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:10.000
Because with God, there is no limitations.
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:12.799
God, if God wants you to do it, think about it.
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:19.679
Noah had to build a whole arc, didn't see a sight of rain, didn't see a pebble of rain.
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.879
And God literally said, build an ork, because I'm sending a flood.
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:27.840
And he was like, Okay, guess what I'm about to do?
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:29.120
I'm about to build this ork.
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:33.279
They laughing at me, they talking about me, they think I'm crazy.
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:34.159
But guess what?
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:40.799
When you get a word from God, you got to move on it, you got to believe in it, and you got to flow in it.
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:41.519
Amen.
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:44.159
You have to replace lies with the truth.
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:55.519
When you know that you are a child of the risen Savior, when you know what Jesus Christ went through just for you to live, you will say, God, I got you.
00:12:55.759 --> 00:13:02.480
Just give me the strength to climb, give me the wisdom to know and help me to breathe when you tell me to breathe.
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:03.279
Amen.
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:10.639
So I'm telling you, this episode is kind of passionate to me because I'm not telling you something somebody told me.
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:13.759
I'm telling you something that I know for myself personally.
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.600
I know how it is to have that internal thought.
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:27.600
I know how it is to have that internal feeling, I know how it is to feel the rejection on the inside, and it blocks your potential.
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:28.799
You'll sit there.
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:30.559
I never come out, I can't do it.
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:31.759
Don't try to do it.
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:36.240
You block your own potential because of what you feel on the inside.
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:40.480
That's why we have to learn how to dissolve those internal blocks.
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:48.240
And if you don't know what your internal blocks feel, ask God before we pray, ask God, say, God, what is blocking me?
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:51.200
What is stopping me from being greater than what I am?
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:55.519
What is stopping me from being greater than what you told me that I would do?
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:59.200
You said, great works that you did, greater shall I do.
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:03.440
So, God, I want to make sure that I'm doing the greater works that you have called me to do.
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:10.799
I know I was special, I know I got talent, I know I got gifts, I know I got purpose, I know I got a destiny to reach.
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:14.480
So, God, help me reach that destiny, amen.
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:19.919
So, I am telling you before we pray, breathe.
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:21.919
Take a deep breath.
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.720
Exhale all things that you know is blocking you.
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:31.360
And thus I breathe in, freedom, I exhale fear.
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:33.600
It would not be a port anymore.
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:41.519
Doubt, self-destruction, destruction, self-sabotage, all that, overthinking.
00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:45.120
Them my blockage points to me.
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:49.039
And that's where you got to break them down and say the devil's a lie.
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:53.919
I'm going to succeed, I'm going to make it because I know who I belong to.
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:55.279
I am wise.
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:56.639
I am healthy.
00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:58.000
I am disciplined.
00:14:58.240 --> 00:14:59.360
I am courageous.
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:00.799
I am compassionate.
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:02.080
I am faithful.
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:03.679
I am obedient.
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:06.639
You got to speak life into your own self.
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:10.080
Life and death lies in the power of the tongue, amen.
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:14.399
You have to say to yourself, I am smart.
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:16.240
I am loved.
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:17.200
Loved.
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:19.200
I am beautiful, amen.
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:20.639
I am growing.
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:21.759
I am learning.
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:23.039
I am healing.
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:24.799
I am becoming.
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:27.440
I'm becoming something great.
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:28.399
Amen.
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:34.399
You got to make a declaration to yourself that you're not worried about nobody else's journey.
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:37.679
You're only worried about what God has called you to focus on.
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:39.039
Stay in your lane.
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:41.200
Quit crossing in everybody else's lane.
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.600
My pastor did a sermon about that before.
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:44.559
You know what I'm saying?
00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:47.440
Like, you know, when people run it, they focus on their lane.
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:49.440
You, everybody's stored in a lane, right?
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:51.440
And you gotta stay in your lanes.
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:53.759
It depends on what races you're running, right?
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:58.799
So I'm telling you, focus on your race right now.
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:03.600
The gifts God has placed within you is amazing.
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:08.159
Don't misuse the gifts that God has placed inside of you.
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:09.840
You know what I'm saying?
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:16.799
Use those gifts for his glory and not to get yourself all high and mighty.
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:19.600
Because I'm telling you, pride will come before destruction.
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:22.080
Pride comes before the fall.
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:22.639
Amen.
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:23.840
Think I said that right.
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:28.559
But I want you to know God wants you to be a humble servant.
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:30.639
He just wants all the glory.
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.200
All the glory and all the honor.
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:33.759
Amen.
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:35.919
Let us go to the Lord in prayer.
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.879
Henry Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for this morning.
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:46.559
We thank you, oh God, for giving us words of advice through this podcast, Heavenly Father.
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:57.279
Holy Father, I pray right now over every listener and including myself, oh God, that we can break every limit, limiting things that's stopping us from moving forward, Heavenly Father.
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:03.200
God, we don't want no more barriers, no more limits stopping us like a speed limit.
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:03.840
Amen.
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:08.480
We only gonna go 20 miles because we feel like we can't hit 35.
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:09.680
The devil's a lie.
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:15.519
God, if you tell us to press forward, stream ahead, steam ahead, God, that's what we want to do.
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:23.599
Honey Father, expose every lie that tells us we cannot grow, we cannot learn, heal, change, or become better, Honey Father.
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:30.079
Expose the voices from our past that have become internal voices in our present, Honey Father.
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.319
When something told us we were not enough, remind us that we're worthy.
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:36.799
We're more than enough, oh God.
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:42.319
When failure convinced us to stop trying, give us courage to begin again, oh God.
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:45.759
Honey Father, where rejection made us afraid to be seen.
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:50.880
Teach us that rejection does not define who we are.
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.599
It does not define our value.
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:59.039
It doesn't define our destiny, and it doesn't define our purpose, oh God.
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:03.039
Holy Father, where comparison may have crept in, oh God.
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.920
We want to be reminded that our journey is uniquely for us.
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:10.640
Because we was all made in your image.
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:12.480
We was all made different.
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:16.160
So God help us to realize how unique we really are.
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:19.440
Let us see what you see in us, oh God.
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:23.759
Because we want to become what you have called us to be, oh God.
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:24.640
Hallelujah.
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:28.960
Thank you, oh God, for seeing us when we can't see ourselves.
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:32.480
Thank you, oh God, for loving us when we couldn't love ourselves.
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.559
Thank you, oh God, for providing for us when we couldn't provide for ourselves.
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:41.680
Thank you, oh God, for making a way out of no way when we were stuck in the ditch, Heavenly Father.
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:46.160
Thank you, oh God, for never leaving us nor forsaking us, oh God.
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:54.079
God, I pray right now that you will awaken every dream within us that we tried to abandon for all the wrong reasons.
00:18:54.319 --> 00:19:00.640
Holy Father, restore our creativity, restore our courage, restore our hope and our faith, oh God.
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:04.559
Help us understand that potential is not permission.
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:08.160
Holy Father, to chase everything.
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:10.400
Ooh, God, that's a word.
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:11.759
Thank you, oh God.
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:16.160
Potential is not permission to chase everything.
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:20.640
Holy Father, give us discernment more each and every day.
00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:22.559
Wisdom more each and every day.
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:31.200
Knowledge and understanding each and every day to know which opportunities align, oh God, with the purpose that you have over us, oh God.
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:34.160
Teach us, oh God, our assignment.
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:36.559
Because we all got an assignment, oh God.
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:42.079
And once we finish one assignment, you give us another one and another one and another one.
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:51.920
God help us to be good stewards, good disciples, good leaders, Honey Father, good mentors, good advisors, Honey Father.
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:57.200
God, give us the gift to do what you have called us to do.
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:03.119
Give us the spirit of gifting, the spirit of giving what you have given us, oh God.
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:06.079
Press down, shaking together, running it over, oh God.
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:08.799
Our cup runneth over each and every day.
00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:10.960
Every time we wake up, it's a blessing.
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:12.960
Every time we lay down, there's a blessing.
00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:13.599
Amen.
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:16.480
God, thank you for the food that we ate yesterday.
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:19.440
Thank you for the beds we laid in last night, oh God.
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:24.079
Thank you, oh God, for healing us, oh God, and restoring us, oh God.
00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:25.759
Thank you, oh God.
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:28.640
That you're doing a great thing in our life.
00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:29.599
Hallelujah.
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:30.640
Thank you, oh God.
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:32.559
I know that you're doing a great work.
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:34.480
I know that better days are ahead.
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:38.720
I know that you're changing us for your for your will, Honey Father.
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:40.240
Thank you, oh God.
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:41.519
Thank you, oh God.
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:42.799
Thank you, oh God.
00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:44.240
Thank you, oh God.
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:45.119
Amen.
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:46.400
Hallelujah.
00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:47.680
Thank you, Jesus.
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.559
We serve a faithful God.
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:51.680
Amen.
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:53.200
Remember that.
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:55.440
God is faithful.
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:58.079
He has never turned his back on you.
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:00.000
He has never shunned you.
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:02.000
He ain't never stoned you.
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:06.880
He ain't never whooped you to the point of I whooped you for no reason.
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:08.480
God is a good God.
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:10.720
He's a wonderful father.
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:11.599
Amen.
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:18.079
Until tomorrow, remember, God is on your side.
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:32.799
And tomorrow we're going to talk about the power of simplifying your life, simplifying your life, clearing unnecessary clutter and creating space for what God is about to do in your life.
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:36.400
And I feel and I know it's going to be amazing.
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:38.160
It's going to be great.
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:40.559
And you're going to give God so much glory.
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:42.319
You're just going to cry it out.
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.200
Because you've been praying for this moment.
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:47.359
You've been hoping for this moment.
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:50.880
You have cried yourself to sleep for what God's about to do.
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:55.119
And I'm telling you right now, thank God in the hallway.
00:21:55.440 --> 00:22:00.480
Thank God wherever you sit before you touch that door of blessings.
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:01.039
Amen.
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:04.160
Because you want to be able to keep what God's about to put in your hands.
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:05.680
I can't wait till tomorrow.
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:07.200
So you have a blessed day.
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:08.799
We're going to get into it tomorrow.
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:09.519
I believe we are.
00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:13.759
I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm telling you, God's doing something great.
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:16.319
Be obedient to what God's telling you to do.
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:16.960
Amen.
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:19.200
This is our Curl Let's Pray Ministries.
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:21.279
Have a blessed day.
