Reposition Yourself Part 2 - The Potter’s House of Dallas · THE WORLD'S BEST PREACHER

  Speaker 1: Manny sits up further in his seat and says, when
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: they called me about this meeting, I was the first
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: one to show up. I was here early. He reached
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: into his briefcase and started throwing bills out on the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: dining room table. He says, this has gone to a
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: collection agency. A collection agency. It's a $ 42 bill. Now
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: there's a $ 35 late fee attached to it. That's ridiculous.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: You and I both know you could have paid this,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: but you aren't handling your business properly. You're not handling
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: your business. Greetings, brothers and sisters, in the name of
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the Lord. This is a teaching that I believe is
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: absolutely invaluable. As people are downsizing, as people are relocating,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: as they're moving in and out of relationships and marriages
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: and emptiness syndromes, the one thing that is sure about life,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: as soon as you get it all pinned down, it
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: will always change. If you have the liquidity of thought
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and the nimbleness of mind, the flexibility to be able
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to reposition yourself, you can always keep moving forward. It
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: is the inflexible that become overwhelmed. Reposition yourself is a
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: teaching that helps you to be flexible enough to move
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: with the flow. The ebbings and the tides of life
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: take a look. That's when you speak up. You've had
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: enough of this confrontation, intervention, mumbo-jumbo, annoyed and embarrassed. You
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: blurt out, I am not addicted to anything. I'm in
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: control of myself and my circumstances. I did all right
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: for myself without any of you, and I'm still okay
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: by myself. I am not addicted to any of you
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: or anything else. L-lover and D-dreamer speak up simultaneously in unison.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: They say, you are addicted. You're addicted to apathy. Our
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: lover continues, that's right, you're addicted to apathy. We all
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: saw you stop caring. We watched you stop dreaming and believing.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Deep dreamer says, sadly, you seem like you are hooked
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: on indifference. And I know for sure that no real
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: passion burns inside of you. Not like it used to.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Not anymore. Manny, the manager, speaks up. A new voice
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: enters the conversation. It has affected everything. Manny couldn't take
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: it anymore. He explodes. It has affected your business. Your
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: finances are going to hell. And don't even get me
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: started on your credit. His anger boils over when he says,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you are just letting things go. You don't handle your
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: business anymore. You won't face up to issues. And they
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: are not getting any better. They are getting worse. Manny
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: had clearly held his peace as long as he could.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: He seemed annoyed, almost belligerent when he spoke. Everyone at
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the table looked at him almost surprised, but that was
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: how Manny was. D-Dreamer patted Manny on the knee under
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the table and tried to calm him down, but he
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: would not stop. He said, no, no, I'm going to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: say something. This has gotten out of hand. You see,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Manny the manager is a part of you who knows
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: what ought to be done. He is angry because you
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: won't allow him to confront you about this apathetical attitude
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: that has ruined your business opportunity. It has carjacked your
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: credit ratings and murdered many chances you had to be
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: further along financially. Manny is a number cruncher you know
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the type a computer geek of a guy he's a
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: tell it like it is sort of guy he is
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: not the tender guy like L lover nor diplomatic like
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: D Manny is a guy who deals with the facts
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and the figures he cuts to the chase he tells
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: it like it T-I-E-S he continues do you know do
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: you know you're getting older And if you keep spending
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: like you're spending, listen, I'm in your life to ensure
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: that when you are old, you have a retirement. And
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I am in your life to make sure that you
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: do not keep going on emotional buying binges. I watch
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you buy what you want and then struggle for what
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: you need. Look, I'm going to be honest. It makes
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: me sick. I I wanted to set your finances on
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: track so that you could pay for your children's education
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: or have money to invest in a home or that,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you know, that vacation spot you saw down in the Bahamas.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: If you had followed my plan, you would be shocked
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: how much further you would be by now. If 20
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: years ago you had invested the price of a Happy Meal,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: you would have been a millionaire by now. I mean,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: a Happy Meal could have made you an ecstatic investor.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: You could have had it all together. But But listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Even now, even now, it's not too late. That's why
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I'm here today. That's why I'm here today. You have
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to stop this apathy, this terrible missing in action mentality
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you seem to have. I don't know where you caught
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: it from. You caught it from somewhere. It's like you've
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: contracted a spin thrift virus or maybe something. Maybe you
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: have a financial flu. Maybe it's because of how bad
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you and El Lover are getting along. I notice that
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: when your love life isn't right, you overcompensate by overspending.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Or maybe it's because you and D-Dreamer aren't working things out.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: You seem to have lost any sense of delayed gratification.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: If you would just wait a minute. You could have
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: had so much more of the good life and reach
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: your dreams. But in the absence of dreams that Dee
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: talked about, you just spend away the moment for whatever
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: reason when things aren't going right with them, it affects
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you and me. You stop managing your business, you spend
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: too much of your time, and I dare say you're
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: your money too on things that are not valuable. I
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: just have to, I just have to come out and
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: say it. Your priorities are just simply whacked. They're just whacked.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Manny sits up further in his seat and says, when
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: they called me about this meeting, I was the first
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: one to show up. I was here early. He reached
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: into his briefcase and started throwing bills out on the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: dining room table. He says, this has gone to a
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: collection agency. A collection agency. It's a $ 42 bill. Now
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: there's a $ 35 late fee attached to it. That's ridiculous.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: You and I both know you could have paid this,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: but you aren't handling your business properly. You're not handling
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: your business. Manny looked at you and growled, I bet
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: you don't even know your credit score. How can you
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: correct what you will not confront? You won't look into
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: getting out of this rut. What I'm trying to say
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: is simple. If you stick your head in the sand
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and ignore things, that you have the power to change.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: You can't blame anyone when they don't turn out the
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: way you want them to. I'm here today because I
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: care for you. And I'm here today because I believe
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: in your dreams. But most of all, I'm here to
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: try to get you to wake up out of that
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: apathetical sleep you've been in And get a handle on
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: your life. Listen. I know you have faith. And I
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: know you believe in God. But God helps those. Who
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: help themselves. Or maybe. Maybe I should just say. Faith
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: without works is dead. Being alone. You can't just pray
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: about business. You have to do something about it. Doesn't
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the Bible say that the blessed man is the one
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: who whatsoever he doeth shall prosper? Listen, God can't bless
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: what you won't do. You haven't been taught correctly. Prosperity
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: doesn't just come from giving an offering. It's good to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: be a giver, but you must also be a thinker
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: and a planner and a worker. I'm not trying to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: get you to be rich. I just want you to
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: have the best and most positive life you can have
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: with the gifts and opportunities that God has given you.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you have any will to fight this,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: but I'm telling you right now. As he looks down
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: at the business reports and the financial statements and the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: disconnect service notices and the student loans and the foreclosure
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: notices slung all over the table. telling you right now,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: it's not too late to turn this mess around. It's
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: not too late to turn it around. But you have
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: got to fight back in order to beat this addictive,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: destructive habit of being locked in a drug state of
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: hypothetical indifference. Am I talking to anybody in here today?
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: The second half of your life would far exceed anything
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you ever did in the first half. If you were
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: simply willing to reposition yourself, a few parts that have
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: been sadly neglected.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Bishop Jakes is bringing Megafest back and it's going to
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: be right here in Dallas.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: So we're out here in the neighborhoods.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Letting the families know that they need to get ready.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Hi.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Hi. How are you? I'm good, and you? I'm great.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: You know why? Why? Because Megafest is coming back. Is
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: your family registered?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: No.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to register myself. I think I see babies
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: behind you. Oh, honey! Let me tell you about this
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: mega youth experience. We got stuff just for your age
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: with concerts, fun, and... Can I help you? Woman, thou
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: art loose at Megafest. I got you a ticket to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the celebrity basketball game and.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: The women of purpose concert, all right?
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: All right. I'm going to just keep on running on
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: for both of us. Whew. You look like you've been
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: working hard enough. I got a vacation for your whole family.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Go to Mega-Fest.com. And power for you. We got empowerment seminars.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: We have something for the whole family. I go to Mega-Fest.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: We go.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Get in there. Get in there. Get in there. I
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: got the bags. Don't worry about it.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Mega-Fest 2013. Happening August 29th through the 31st. Go to Mega-Fest.org
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: or call 1-800-FISH-UP-2 today.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Before you can catch your breath and let Manny's words
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: really begin to sink in, B jumps into the conversation.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: You know B. I'm your spiritual self. The one who
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: relates with God and seeks his truth in all areas
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: of your life. Unfortunately, with your addiction to apathy, you
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: have starved me and kept me malnourished, seeking to fill
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: me with material things and expensive clothes and new cars
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and other toys. But we both know that... There's something
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: so much deeper and satisfying that you crave. A sense
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: of purpose. The contentment from fulfilling your God-given destiny. An
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: awareness of many blessings that he daily sends your way.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Can I get new witness in here? To which you
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: become oblivious and seem to ignore as you succumb to
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the repetition of routines. But you don't expect much from
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: God at this point because of your painful past wounds
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: that seem so unfair. Your disappointment with pastors and churches
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: that seem hypocritical and focused on judging you and your
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: idolatry to material things to fill a spiritual appetite. I
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: try to point out that the ways that God breaks
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: through and wants you to dream is to reposition yourself.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Reposition yourself Reposition yourself. Reposition yourself like Zacchaeus, the tax collector,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: climbing the sycamore tree to see the Savior. But you're
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: numb out and tired and exhausted, preferring to go through
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the motions rather than really engaging in a relationship with
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: your creator. Creator, the one who makes you creative, the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: one who wants to comfort and heal and inspire and motivate.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Motivates you to new heights unknown. It comes through serving God.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: If you truly want to improve yourself. And experience a
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: total life makeover. To break through the addictions of mediocrity.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: That's permeated your life at this point. Like a deadly virus.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Then the key to your recovery. Must rely on strength
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and provisions. That will come in your spiritual life. It
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily involve. Going to church or joining the choir,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: all of that's good in its place. But without a
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: personal relationship with God, that can become real empty too.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: What it does involve is focusing on what your soul
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: hungers and thirsts for instead of numbing it up and
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: dumbing it down and going through the motions. You're blinding
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: me in hopes that I won't see how you're living
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: your life apathetically. But I'm still here. And I know
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: you were made for more than this. And you, my
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: brothers and sisters, are running out of time. Bea looks
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: you directly in the eyes and shoots her questions like
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: bullets into your soul. Check these out. Do you want
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: a meaningful life? Do you? Do you want to experience
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: a peace that passes all understanding? An abundant life? filled
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: with purpose and joy. Is that what you want? Then
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: it's time to fight for your life back, to rekindle
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the hunger for holiness and for righteousness and seek out
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: his destiny for you, renouncing all of the trough of
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the pig's food you've been freebasing and returning home to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the fathers who's waiting, waiting to run down the road
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: to meet you. He'll guide you He will guide you.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: But only you can leave the dead end alley where
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: you've been crouching and take the first step on the
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: exciting journey known as the rest of your life. Aren't
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: you tired of the slop for which you've been settling?
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Talk back to me. You may have squandered your resources
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: so far, but God delights in providing for his children
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: with what they need. He'll give it back to you.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: When you rely on him, he'll give it back to you.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: It's time. It's time right now. Do you hear me?
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: It is time right now. calling you together and the
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: father calls together his children. It is time right now
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: to wake up out of your sleep. I have been
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: praying for you. I have been praying for you while
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: you drove to work. I've been praying in your mind
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: beneath the clutter of the day. Today demands I have
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: been praying about the instabilities, the infidelities, and even the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: insecurities that the rest of these guys don't even know
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: you have. God said, return unto me and I will
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: return unto you. He is not gone. He is really
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: just buried beneath all of this stuff, these distractions in
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: your life. He loves you even when you are wrong
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: and ignoring him. He still loves you. Can you imagine
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: what it would be like? If you really got together
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: with God again, can you imagine how rich and how
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: full and how exciting your life could be if you
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: would just do these simple things? Suddenly you can't hold
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: back your emotions any longer. The group huddles around you
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: and joins hands and B lifts her voice and then
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Manny followed by L lover and D the dreamer and
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: they each pray a prayer together. of courage and relief
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: for you and they ask for divine guidance and assistance
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: in breaking through the addictions and the curses and the
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: distractions and coming back to your senses. Come back to
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: your senses. Come back. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: out of your sleep. Wake up out of your sleep.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: As troubled and disturbed as you are by their confrontation,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: you know that something has to give. Something has to
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: change in your life. You know it. You can shout
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: over it. You can dance over it. But you know
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I'm telling the truth. You know it as well as
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: they do. And if their voices fade and your hands
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: remain clenched, you whisper, I'm ready. Somebody in this room,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: whether over your relationships or your finances, or your dreams
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: that have been smothered beneath your responsibilities, and you know
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: if you don't reposition your life now, you're never gonna
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: get it done, I want you to shout it at me,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I'm ready. I'm ready. If it means opening my heart
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: or opening my head, or opening my mind, or handling
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: my business, or doing whatever I've got to do, I
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: cannot allow the enemy to steal the second half of
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: my life. Brothers and sisters, sit with me just a moment.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I set up this mock scenario with all of these
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: characters who exist in all of us, all of us,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: in an attempt to discuss with you something that I've
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: had to face in my own life. These pseudo characters
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: are the voices of reason that we often muzzle rather
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: than listen to. But if they could intervene and confront
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: us in love, we would all be better people. I
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: guess I just wanted you to know that there is
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: more life in your life. Thank you.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: I wanted you to know that you could be more
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: fulfilled if you had the courage to make some minor changes,
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: some small adjustments.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: The second half of your life would far exceed anything
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: you ever did in the first half if you were
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: simply willing to reposition yourself. a few parts that have
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: been sadly neglected. I want to tell you something. As
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: your pastor, as a bishop, as a father, as a man,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: as just a guy who struggles like you, you can
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: have a better life. No matter how good it is,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: you can have a better life. The question is, are
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: you willing to fight for it? Like an alcoholic recovering
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: from the throes of his addiction, are you willing to
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: fight the urge to settle for less and endure the
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: hard work required to reposition yourself? My friend, the time
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: has never been better for you. If you're ever going
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: to do it, you're going to have to do it
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: right now. Wake up. Wake up out of your sleep.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Wake up. Time is running out. Yes, we could keep
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: coming to church and singing songs and waving our hands
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: and shouting and going home and smothering our frustration. Or
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: we could do what the Bible challenges us to do,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: to simply make a decision to live again, to love again,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: to fight again, to go to work again, to get
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: a grip on the areas of your life that are
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: out of control, to start talking to people that you've
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: been murmuring to. Is the coffee ready? Where's the newspaper?
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Good morning. What are you wearing to work? We're not there.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: We're not there. We're not alive in the moment. Now
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I hear you talking about the enemy comes to steal, kill,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: and destroy. But what you don't understand, there's nobody going
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: to come in your house with a fork, with a
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: big old pitchfork and a red suit on. He's stealing
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: from you every day that you don't maximize, every moment
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: that you don't live, every relationship that you don't play
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: to the fullest. He is robbing you blind. And I'm
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: telling you right now with all that I know inside
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: of myself, the second half of your life is supposed
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to be crazy. It's supposed to be wonderful. It's supposed
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: to be ridiculous. It's supposed to be your A game,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: your best game. If the choir sings the best is
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: yet to come another time, I'm telling you, I see
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: us shouting and hooping and hollering, but the best won't
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: come if you don't make it come. It won't happen
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: if you don't call it. It won't happen if you
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: don't take action. If you keep doing what you've been doing,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: you're going to spend the next 20 years living exactly
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: like you've been living. You have to have the courage
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: to confront yourself. If your friends don't have an intervention,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: have one for yourself. Look yourself in the mirror and say,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: you've been acting like a fool. Get yourself out. Shake
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: hands with three people and tell them something is about
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: to happen. Something's about to happen. Something's about to happen.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: In your life, in your relationships, in your business, something
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: is about to happen. Something is about to happen. Something
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: is about to happen. Don't miss it. Don't miss it.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Don't miss it. Wake up out of your sleep. Don't
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: miss it. Hey, we got to stop right there, but
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: we'll be right back right after this.
• 23:58

• 26:52
  Speaker 1: to present yourself a certain way, but we're not having
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: no trouble with who you appear to be. Who you
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: appear to be is looking good and doing good and
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: acting fine. Who you appear to be has got it together.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I am tired of preaching to who you appear to be.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I want to minister to who you are. And all
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: of those voices... That our mind team depicted with me.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Those are in you. Saying your life isn't going to
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: come together. You got to take control of it and
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: bring it together. We've got to stop there. But I
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: pray for those of you who are facing the daunting
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: task of needing to reposition yourself. Whether it is geographically, spiritually, domestically, relationally, academically.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Change is always difficult. The tools that
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: I share in my material and in my book go
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: into deep detail to encourage you and to, in fact,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: empower you with the possibility of simply changing. Reposition yourself.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: When you can't change anything else, the people, their attitude,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: the circumstance, you change yourself. And my, my, my, what
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: a relief it is. God bless you. Have a good one.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: This is the part of suffering in me.
