power transform my own life and he will
do it for
you what happens if we put our mind on
God if we put our mind on loving
people I want I want to be somebody
who’s who’s known to love
people and so I I have to think about it
every day every day I have to think
think about loving people who am I going
to be with today what can I do to build
them up can I can I give them a
compliment can I encourage them is
there’s something they need that I can
do for them come on I love you get your
mind off
yourself you sweet little thing you get
your mind off yourself and think about
what you can do for somebody else how
can you help expand the
kingdom do you know that one
person can change the
world Steve Jobs
said the people who are crazy enough to
think they can change the world are the
ones who
do I remember praying the craziest
prayer one
day I felt stupid even praying it but I
felt like God wanted me to pray this and
I I prayed God I pray
that you would let me help every person
on the planet with your
word every person let me help every
person well I don’t know if we’ve gotten
to everybody yet but our television
program is on in 106
languages
so
wow I I’ll tell you how that works and I
this is not bragging for me I you know
I’m nothing them without God but we went
to poo New Guinea I mean that’s
like way out there
somewhere
and we we went there to hold a
crusade and the only way people would
know me there is by
television and so we were going to The
Crusade and there were no people in the
streets and I
thought man nobody’s coming to the
meeting this is going to be
awful and when we got there there were
ended up being like 650,000 people there
and nobody was in the streets cuz they
were all in
the in the
Crusade and that was just a result of
people watching on television and that’s
one
country
I I can stay home and do 30 minutes on
television and reach more people than I
can reach running all over the world all
the time wearing myself
out I finally got smart I work smarter
not
harder I I love John
11:40 it was about
the death and the resurrection of
Lazarus but Jesus said
to Mary and Martha and the other people
standing around cuz you know Lazarus was
already dead
and Jesus was going to raise him from
the dead and Martha said oh he he’s been
he’s been stinking four
days maybe you got some dead stinking
circumstances that have been dead for so
long but I’m telling you God can
resurrect
anything amen
he can resurrect what you think is a
dead
[Applause]
marriage he is a god of
resurrection and Paul
said I’m determined to know the power of
his
resurrection the power that lifts me out
from among the dead even while I’m in
the body wow I I don’t know about you
but I made my mind up I’m not living
some weak whiny pitiful pathetic life if
God says anybody can have it I’m going
to have
it
amen my birth certificate says I’m 80
but I don’t feel 80 and I’m not going to
act 80 and I’m not going to go just sit
in a rocking chair because I’m
80
amen I plan to be doing this until I
draw my last breath whenever God knows
that that is I have no desire to do
anything else for me to live as Christ
to die as
gain I personally can’t wait to get to
heaven but I’ll stay here and keep doing
what I’m doing because I believe that
people need
it there’s nothing and nobody in your
life that God can’t change don’t you
ever look at somebody and say or think
you’ll never
change come
on oh you’ll never
change oh don’t no you don’t know what
God’s going to
do I mean Paul was terrible Saul he was
terrible he was killing Christians
hunting them down putting them in
prison was just taking a little trip to
the next town where he’s planning to
kill more people and all of a sudden
sudden
suddenly
suddenly I love the suddenly
woo Paul and Silas in prison praising
God at midnight when
suddenly the angel came and opened the
door you know what you got some
suddenlies coming in your
life
amen I mean if you really think about
that whole deal with Saul it’s just like
pretty amazing yeah
I mean he was just
terrible and all of a sudden Jesus said
to him Saul Saul why are you persecuting
me and he
said
Lord what would you have me
do I mean he was a smart
guy Paul was he was doing wrong things
but he really believed he was doing the
right thing you know that’s what Rel
religious legalism will do to you he was
a religious legalistic Pharisee and he
really thought he was doing the right
thing and so you know the story he he
went he was
blinded God told him to go to this
certain house and then he told the guy
that owned the house to go there and lay
his hands on Saul
and he’ get filled with the Holy Spirit
he’ get his sight back and I mean he
this guy that was killing people one day
a few days later is out preaching the
gospel you know you know what I was
making my bed when God called me to
preach you don’t have to go around
looking for a Ministry well what does
God want me to do what’s God’s will for
my life just live your life enjoy life
all you got to do is tell God I want to
do whatever you want me to do you show
me what that is tell me what that is and
I’m willing to do it so many people
driving themselves nuts trying to figure
out what God’s will is for their life I
was making my bed I wasn’t expecting to
get called to preach and I was listening
to the first teaching cassette tape I’d
ever listened to it was on the story of
when Jesus told the disciples to cross
over to the other side and they
immediately ran into a hurricane type
storm Jesus asleep in the boat
but they did arrive on the other side
long story short I was so amazed that
somebody could take one scripture and
preach on it and keep my interest for a
whole hour I wasn’t used to anointed
preaching yeah
well you
know I was making my bed and God just
said you’re going to you’re going to go
all over the world and teach my
word
and I was just crazy enough to believe
it
you know are you crazy enough to just
believe some I mean far out
[Applause]
stuff listen I don’t think we really
understand Ephesians 3:20 it says for
God is
able to do exceedingly abundantly above
and beyond all that you could ever dare
to Hope ask or think now wait a
minute through the power that worketh in
you
yeah yeah I just recently really got a
hold of that it’s like yeah God’s
able but he he doesn’t do it for you he
does it through
you
see so we’re partners with God I always
like the I like to talk about when Jesus
raised Lazarus from the
dead
now he’s getting ready to raise a dead
man and so he obviously didn’t need any
help with getting the stone away from
the
tomb but he told the people you roll
away the
stone somebody got
it he’ll do his part but not if we don’t
do our
part maybe you got some Stones you need
to roll
away yeah I’m going to go talk to you I
like
[Applause]
you maybe it’s some stones of off fence
that you’ve got
lodged in your
well maybe some blame some excuses a
whole bunch of
self-pity
I used to work all week and then every
Saturday and Sunday I felt sorry for
myself because Dave watched football and
played golf that was my
life work all week have pity parties all
weekend go back to
work how pathetic is
that do you know what you can have a
good time no matter what anybody else is
doing just make your mind up you’re
going
[Applause]
to instead of loving him enough to be
happy for him that after working all
week he could enjoy a golf game and a
football game I was selfish and
self-centered and wanted him to pay
attention to
me me me me me me is anybody in here
getting fed up with just
[Applause]
yourself I feel a little fiery today I
don’t know I’m definitely not sticking
to this message
[Applause]
anyway when Jesus was talking to Mary
and Martha I I love this John
11:40 did I not tell you if you would
only believe you would see the glory of
God that’s all God wants God what do you
want me to do he wants you to believe
thank
you read the book believe what it
says before you see it before you feel
it no matter what you
think come
on can anybody here believe God more
than you believe
yourself well I don’t think well who
gives a flip what you think what does
God
[Applause]
think come on what does God
think well I don’t feel well it doesn’t
matter you you don’t have to feel like
doing the right thing to do the right
thing you don’t have to feel like being
nice to be
nice you have the spirit of
self-control and the spirit of power and
love and a sound
mind you have the mind of Christ You Can
Think Like
Jesus man you’re awesome I wish you knew
how awesome you
are you are just so
awesome so powerful so
amazing
woo sin entered the world through one
man
Adam and righteousness came in through
one man Jesus Christ it only takes one
person that’s goofy enough to believe
they can change the world
I
believe I can change the
world now see some of you think
wow you sure are full of
yourself no I’m just dumb enough to
believe
[Applause]
God come on it only takes one what are
you going to
do I don’t know
I don’t know I’m just waiting for God to
do something for me well maybe he’s
waiting for you to do something for
him how about if you start getting up
every day and saying God what can I do
for you
today well that’ll mess your life up
[Applause]
good is anybody here understanding me
today
[Applause]
there are some rare
individuals that believe they can do
great
things and they do
them
Nehemiah was one of those people and
this
the if you’re not familiar with the
story of Nehemiah really familiar you
ought to read that book it’s just it’s
awesome the land was in a state of
Ruin much
like what’s going on in our country do
you know do you have any idea how
pathetic it is how far we’ve
Fallen how great this country
was it’s really sad
just
sad but we can have a
[Applause]
resurrection but only if we do our part
you can’t how many of you understand we
just sit around and pray for God to do
everything
and it don’t work that way we’re
partners with God he’ll do his
part but we got to roll away the
stone amen amen
maybe you got a stone that’s a bad
attitude I had bunch of
them you know in the Old Testament how
they the way that they defeated their
enemies was they would fill their Wells
full of
stones they throw stones down their well
and block up their
Wells
and boy I got a good message on that how
the devil
just likes to fill us full of stones of
blame and stones of bitterness and
stones of offense and you know all these
things and
then Jesus said out of your belly shall
flow rivers of Living Water but if we’re
all stopped up with all these stones
of
I’m happy to be able to stand here and
tell you that I am not mad at one human
being on this
Earth I do not have one bit of
unforgiveness in my
heart and boy I used to be mad at
somebody all
time don’t waste your life being angry
at people that are out having a good
time and couldn’t care less that you’re
[Applause]
mad don’t give somebody else the
responsibility for your
[Music]
joy
hello anybody get
that well you’re not making me happy
well make yourself
[Applause]
happy nobody encourages me well
Encourage
[Applause]
Yourself David Saidi encouraged myself
in the
Lord Nehemiah the land was in a state of
ruin their walls were torn
down I’m just going to read you a few
script few verses out of the book of
Nehemiah
haniah one of my brothers came from
Judah with some other men and I
questioned them about the Jewish Remnant
that had survived the Exile and also
about Jerusalem and they said to me
those who survived the Exile and Are
Back In The Province are in great
trouble and disgrace the walls of
Jerusalem are broken down and its
Gates have been burned with fire well
because the walls were broken down and
its Gates had been burned with fire they
had no
protection the cities back then were had
walls around them and that’s what kept
the enemies out and their walls had been
torn down so they had no protection now
watch what Nehemiah does he doesn’t say
I somebody needs to do
[Music]
[Applause]
something I’ll tell you a statement I
hate well well they need to do
something I need to do
something the government is not going to
fix anything for
you they are the ones that have messed
it
[Applause]
up and I don’t care if you’re a
Republican or a Democrat none of them
are going to save
[Applause]
us
what this country needs is a massive
return to
God you say well that’s that’s that’s
what I’m waiting for I’m waiting for
Revival well why don’t you start one in
your own
life have a private
Revival get excited about God again make
him number one in your
life
woo and Nehemiah I love this when I
heard these things I sat down and wept
and for some days I mourned and I fasted
and I prayed before the god of
Heaven now Nehemiah didn’t hear the bad
news and then make a
plan and expect God to bless
it we don’t plan first and then pray
that God will bless our plan we
pray and then do what God tells us
to so first he prayed and apparently God
told him to do
something chapter 2 verses 17 and 18
then I said to them you see the trouble
that we’re in Jerusalem lies in Ruins
and its Gates have been burned with fire
come and let us rebuild the wall of
Jerusalem and we will no longer be
living in disgrace amen and I also told
them about the gracious hand of my God
that was on me and what the king had
said to me he had went to the king and
asked for permission to do this they
replied let us start rebuilding so they
began this good work they worked
together they prayed continuously they
fought enemies and opposition if you
read the whole story it’s like right
away as soon as they started trying to
do something good the enemy got involved
and it got so bad that they got to the
point where they had to keep an a a
weapon in one
hand and they worked with the other
hand but they refused to give up and the
end of the story is the wall was
[Applause]
rebuilt it’s just like let us cross over
to the other side they left
huge hurricane proportion storm Jesus
asleep in the boat chapter 5 verse1 and
they arrived on the other
side you know there’s always going to be
something happen in the middle that
makes you think you’re never going to
make it to the
end you think I liked it when both of my
legs wouldn’t
work and yeah that you know there was a
little concern I mean we got people that
work for us what happens if Joyce is
done is this is this the
end no
no I’mma get over this and yes get back
to
work I never thought once about giving
up or not getting
well I plan to do just what I’m doing
get back out here and preach the
gospel
amen Joseph believed that God could work
something
good out of a bad
situation and you know what he finally
did but there was a lot of stuff that
happened in the
Middle come on there’s a beginning
there’s an end but there’s a middle
you’re not ever going to make it to the
end if you can’t make it through the
middle Joyce had an incredibly difficult
start in life and it caused her thinking
to be rooted in fear she came across as
a bold person but as she says herself
she was actually filled with all kinds
of fears but God intervened in her life
and did something amazing as she studied
the Bible her thinking began to change
her mind was renewed her attitude
changed she is not the same person she
was 40 years ago and what God has done
for Joy he can do for you too that’s
really important for you to realize
today so it’s studying the word of God
knowing who God is and what he can do
that changes our thoughts so we have an
offer for you today that will help you
