  Speaker 1: Mackie in his time right now for today's word, Live
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: to please God. First Corinthians four three through four of
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the Message translation says, it matters very little to me
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: what you think of me, even less where I rank
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: in popular opinion. You know, some people loved the apostle Paul,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: but others hated him and put him down. Despite all
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the opposition, it never stopped him from his purpose and
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: his destiny. He wrote almost half the books of the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: New Testament and impacted the world in amazing ways. We're
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: still talking about and being blessed by his impact today.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: He said the secret to handling the pressure of people's
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: approval is to not try to please everyone. He was
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: not a people pleaser. He lived to please an audience
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: of one, the one who called him to be an apostle.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: He was saying, you have to do only what God
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: puts in your heart, and not let the opinion of
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: what other people think or even say matter to you.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I remember attending an event and Bishop Larry Trotter was
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the speaker. He said God delivered him from the opinion
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: of people. In a certain set of people in particular.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Let me encourage you today, pursue the goals and the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: dreams of God is placed in you. Don't miss your
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: greatness because you're dependent on people approving you. Live to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: please God? Are you sacrificing who you are because you're
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: addicted to the approval of others. You can't follow what
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: God puts in your heart. If you're always trying to
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: play up to what other people think and approve. You
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: got to break free from that. You don't have to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: have their approval. You have Almighty God's approval and that's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: more than enough. That's all that you need. Be bold
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and be courageous to please him. He's the one who
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: holds your destiny. Live your life on purpose to please God. Father, God,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: thank you that you see the greatness on the inside
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of us, and you love us just the way that
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you made us. When others don't give us their approval
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: or affirm us, help us to let it go. God.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: We believe that your approval is all that really matters,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and we declare that we have it now in Jesus's name. Hey,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: now that's your word for today. I want you to
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: take that, apply that to your everyday life, and you
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: continue to be encouraged and inspired. It's your early morning
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: praise party. I'm your girl. Sherry Mackie
