  Many years ago, I remember going into the prison and speaking to many people, and they're telling me their situation, their humiliation, their shame, how they have done wrong And I remember sharing this message: I will turn your shame and humiliation into joy.
• 0:32
  Let me say that again now.
• 0:34
  I will turn your shame and humiliation into joy.
• 0:40
  See, in this thing called life, we make decisions.
• 0:43
  Sometime, hmm, not so good.
• 0:46
  Other time, not so good.
• 0:50
  Sometime good, but the good one, you really don't dwell on those.
• 0:55
  You dwell on those that does not really line up with society or line up with the word of God.
• 1:01
  Where am I going?
• 1:03
  The title is, I Will Turn Your Shame and Humiliation into Joy.
• 1:08
  In the Book of Isaiah 61:7, where it says,"Instead of your shame, you will have a double portion, and instead of humiliation, they will shout jo- shout for joy over their portion." Now, this is about the children of Israel, how they came out of bondage.
• 1:30
  Now, here's the problem with the average person.
• 1:33
  They don't understand what they really dealt with.
• 1:35
  They dealt with slavery.
• 1:37
  They dealt with their womens being raped.
• 1:40
  They dealt with people being murdered, the children being murdered, men being murdered, women being murdered.
• 1:45
  They dealt with depression.
• 1:46
  They dealt with anxiety.
• 1:48
  They dealt with no hope.
• 1:51
  But then God word just has to come through, because 430 years he said,"You will be a slave, and then you will come out of bondage." In America today, we're talking about in America now.
• 2:05
  In a lot of the world, but we dealing with America, they're dealing with people who have been prison or not for stealing.
• 2:14
  They lie, adultery, murder, rape, child molestation, child pornography.
• 2:23
  We talking about rapists.
• 2:24
  We talking about gambling.
• 2:25
  We talking about sin, sin, sin.
• 2:29
  Then on top of all of that, we gotta deal with dysfunction, whether it's mentally, whether it's physical, some physical, whatever happened to a person, some mental, whether they was born that way or turned out that way, whether it's drug addiction, whether it's gambling.
• 2:48
  It's some type of dysfunction, just to name a few.
• 2:54
  See, here's the reality of the word of God.
• 2:59
  You can't come through most of these things.
• 3:03
  You're not- You're just not gonna come through.
• 3:08
  That's why it uses generational curses.
• 3:11
  Why?
• 3:11
  Because something happened to you, and you would think that they could change.
• 3:18
  No, it's not that easy.
• 3:21
  Because the mind is the most powerful thing in the world.
• 3:25
  Once you program your mind wrong, it keeps feeding wrong information Most people gravitate to whatever area they're in.
• 3:38
  If you're a child molester, you usually associate with child molesters.
• 3:43
  Why?
• 3:44
  Because you can feel comfortable.
• 3:46
  If you're a drunk, you usually hang around other drunks.
• 3:49
  Why?
• 3:49
  Because you're comfortable.
• 3:51
  If you like gambling, you like to hang around other people who are gambling.
• 3:54
  Why?
• 3:54
  Because you're comfortable.
• 3:55
  But here's the part of this mental part that most people don't understand.
• 4:01
  Once you have an addiction, it overrides your logics, common sense.
• 4:09
  I used to think, well, just stop gambling or just stop doing whatever.
• 4:13
  It's not that simple.
• 4:15
  It overrides your functional way of thinking.
• 4:18
  But he says, I will turn your shame and humiliation into joy.
• 4:22
  That's not for everybody.
• 4:25
  That's for those people who accept Christ, accept his Holy Spirit, and is willing to change.
• 4:31
  Most people, they're not willing to change.
• 4:33
  Why?
• 4:34
  It's comfortable.
• 4:36
  It's comfortable being around people who think like you.
• 4:39
  It's comfortable being around people who act like you.
• 4:42
  It's comfortable being around people who don't make you feel ashamed, who don't make you feel humiliated.
• 4:49
  Why does the word tell you I will turn?
• 4:53
  Well, first of all, when he said, I will turn your shame and humiliation into joy, he's saying for some of the things you went through, I'll give you double portion.
• 5:02
  You lose a house, I give you back.
• 5:04
  Bigger house.
• 5:05
  You lose a car, give you a better car.
• 5:07
  But these are choices.
• 5:10
  One of the hardest things for a person to do is to realize and accept the change.
• 5:17
  When the children of Israel was led out of the promised land.
• 5:21
  Now, see, people miss the fact that these 10 plagues was done on Egypt.
• 5:28
  And they still pretty much didn't want to let them go.
• 5:30
  Why?
• 5:31
  I'm going to let slaves go?
• 5:33
  No.
• 5:34
  You got to make me let them go.
• 5:37
  And then when they became free, he gave them the law.
• 5:40
  And what did they want to do?
• 5:42
  I want to go back.
• 5:43
  Why?
• 5:43
  It's comfortable.
• 5:45
  I want to go back to where I'm in slaves.
• 5:47
  It's comfortable.
• 5:48
  I want to go back where you rape our women and kill our men.
• 5:51
  It's comfortable.
• 5:52
  I want to go back where I don't have to make no decision.
• 5:55
  It's comfortable.
• 5:58
  But when you accept Christ and you allow His plan to take control, that's why it's a love your neighbor as yourself.
• 6:07
  Well, the reason you love your neighbor as yourself is because pretty much your neighbor gonna get, gonna piss you off.
• 6:14
  Why?
• 6:15
  They have to.
• 6:15
  Why?
• 6:16
  'Cause if you're living a different standard, they're not gonna live to your standard, so you have to treat them as you would treat yourself.
• 6:24
  The biggest problem with people is their mind.
• 6:30
  You know, I remember, um, we, I used to go to the prison.
• 6:33
  We, every two weeks to every three weeks, every month I definitely went to the prison for three years.
• 6:40
  And I remember the last message I preached to them, and I said,"Now you are the light of the world." What I was telling them without even knowing it is my time is up,'cause the religious people made sure I didn't come back.
• 6:53
  Why?
• 6:53
  I'm teaching something they don't wanna hear.
• 6:56
  They don't wanna hear or they don't want you to believe you're better than.
• 7:01
  You know, I remember a young guy coming to me, well, at this point he's middle-aged, and he says,"You know, I killed a man," and he's telling me his story.
• 7:10
  And he says,"I, I was, I was tired, and I was driving a truck, and I fell asleep, and I killed a family, and I got life." And he says,"In the beginning, the family started coming, and then they stopped coming, and for over 20 years they have stopped coming." He says,"The only family I see now is you and your wife." I want you to hear me now.
• 7:40
  Yes, he did something wrong, and yes, he's gonna pay for it for the rest of his life.
• 7:45
  But what did he do?
• 7:46
  Fall asleep.
• 7:47
  Should he know better?
• 7:48
  Yes.
• 7:49
  But as-- I always ask people a question.
• 7:53
  Show me someone that have never done something wrong to raise their hand.
• 7:57
  I've yet to meet one person.
• 7:59
  Everybody does something wrong.
• 8:01
  I fell asleep driving.
• 8:04
  He did what everybody pretty much have done that have truck driven long distance.
• 8:09
  But he says,"I will turn your shame and humiliation into joy." That's because you accept Him, accept His gift, and understand you're a new creature.
• 8:18
  That mean the old thing has passed away, and now you're renewed.
• 8:21
  That's because of the Holy Spirit.
• 8:22
  You think different, you walk different, and you are different, and that is His word
