T.D. Jakes Sermons Don't Let the Chatter Stop You Part 1 - The Potter’s House of Dallas · THE WORLD'S BEST PREACHER

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Don't litigate over how much you have a right to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: have what I got, because until you suffered what I suffered,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: floated through what I floated through, survived what I survived.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Don't be frustrated because some princess pulled me out the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: water and put me in the palace. If you weren't
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: going to float down with the alligators, then don't complain
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: about me eating in the palace. God bless you, my friends.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: We are together again and we're excited about it. We've
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: been sharing a series that is blessing God's people. The
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: series is The Verge. The message today is don't let
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the chatter stop you. I cannot tell you how many
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: people tweeted me at Bishop Jakes to tell me This
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: message blessed them in a powerful way when I preached
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: it because so many people are distracted by the chatter
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: around them to the point that they cannot focus on
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the goal before them. The message, don't let the chatter
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: stop you. Maybe what you need to get your focus back.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Check it out.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Now Moses is a grown man. We're seeing him close
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to 40 years old. He's a grown man. He's blessed.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: He got things he wouldn't have gotten any other way.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Education by the Egyptians. The Egyptian culture we are still studying.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Their advancement in technology is still intimidating even to modern
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: scientists today. Their architectural abilities have caused people to travel
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: for miles to study the pyramids. Moses was exposed to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: that in a way he would have never been exposed
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: had he not gone through the adversity in his house.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: He would have never been exposed to the opportunity, adversity, opportunity, adversity, opportunity, adversity, opportunity.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Every time he had an adversity, he had an opportunity.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: He's 40 years old and he's got the opportunities that
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: people would kill for. Got the opportunities that other people
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: would have died for. Got to go places and do
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: things and understand things that had he stayed in the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: house he started in, he would have never gotten. All
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: he would have known how to do was make bricks
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: without straw. But God pulled him out. And sometimes when
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: God pulls you out of your natural environment, it's painful.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: You suffer a lot. But he didn't pull you out
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to kill you. He pulled you out to bless you.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Now he's near 40 years old and he's blessed.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: He's blessed. He's educated.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: He's articulate. He's intelligent. He's bilingual. He's blessed. But he's confused.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: You can be blessed and still be confused. He's all
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: dressed up.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: And confused.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: He's a grown man with little boy issues. Struggling and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: suffering on the inside and walking around in all of
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the Egyptian capes and all dressed up like he's a prince.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: He looks like a prince, but he's not. He's a
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Hebrew by blood, but he's not. He's neither Egyptian nor Hebrew.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: He's stuck in the middle and he looks out the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: window and he sees two men fighting. A Hebrew and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: an Egyptian fighting. What he sees on the outside is
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a reflection of what's going on on the inside.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: If I say nothing else this morning, I have said
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: it all.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Because if you can grasp what I just said, then
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: you realize that what you see on the outside is
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: a reflection of what is going on on the inside.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: What you see on the outside. I wish I had
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: time to really work that. I was sitting with a
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: bunch of psychologists and they were counseling a woman that
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: was saying that she'd been contemplating suicide. And the psychologist said, oh, no, no,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: she's not going to commit suicide. I said how can
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you say that with such absoluteness they said her hair
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: is combed she brushed her teeth her clothes are pressed
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: what you see on the outside is a reflection of
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: what's going on on the inside do you hear what
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I'm saying there's fighting on the outside because it's fighting
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: on the inside i'm gonna drill into that a little
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: bit interesting point in 35 years of counseling people i've
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: counseled all kinds of angry men i've counseled men who
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: beat their wives i mean beat them beat them mercilessly
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: hit them in the head with skillets and wrenches and
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, threw hot oil on them, all kinds
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of stuff. But I never saw a man who beat
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: his wife and liked himself. What you see on the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: outside is a reflection of the conflict.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: On the inside. I could go home now.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Because if you did that thought justice, you could spend
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the next 24 hours Going through your life, saying what
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: do you see? Going through the trunk of your car,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: through your garage, through your house, what you see on
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the outside is a reflection of what's going on on
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the inside. If you're happy to live in clutter, I'm
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: not going to bother you. I'm not going to bother you.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Now we all have to live in it, but if
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you're happy to live in clutter, if you're comfortable and
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: it doesn't bother you, maybe it doesn't bother you because
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: what you see, he sees the fighting on the outside.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: It's a reflection of the fight on the inside. He
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: raises his hand to stop it. He's trying to stop
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: it in them so he can stop it in him.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: The fight on the outside forced him to confront the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: conflict on the inside. All of a sudden, he's been
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: conflicted for 40 years, but some circumstances arose in his
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: life that brought to the surface the inner conflict that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: he has in his soul. And he rises up because now,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: faced with a Hebrew and an Egyptian fighting, he now
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: has to choose whose side are you on. 40 years
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: have not demanded that he make a choice. But one
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: incident has pushed his emotions to the surface. Do you
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: choose your conditioning or your pedigree? Now he chooses his background,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: his heritage. And he kills an Egyptian. Kills an Egyptian.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: And buries him in the sand. Looking to the left
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: or the right, he sees nobody and buries it in
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the sand. 24 hours later, what he sees on the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: outside is totally different from what he saw yesterday. He
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: does not see an Egyptian and a Hebrew fighting because
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: he's made a choice. Only to find out that there's
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: still conflict The Hebrews are fighting. And he rises up
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to solve it. Now this is. When a woman is
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: birthing a baby. They call it crowning. When the head
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: first comes out. The head is the first thing that
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: comes out. You hear the nurse say it's crowning. His
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: greatness is crowning. His greatness is crowning. But it's crowning
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: at a time. That he is not positionally. In a
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: place to function. On the level that he's able to
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: think on. So he's functioning like a king, but he
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: is not a king. So you got an internal conflict
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: that has now gone external.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Think with me, church.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: One of the things I love about preaching at the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: potter's house is that you are a thinking people.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I cannot pastor people who do not think. I'm allergic
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: to them. They make me itch. Whew.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Deliver me from stupid people. I'm going to add that
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: line to the Lord's Prayer. Deliver us from evil and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: stupid people. I'm just going to insert it right in
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: there just to dilate me out of it. Have you
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: ever had an argument with a fool? You lose all
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: interest in the argument when you find out that you
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: are not even intelligent enough to debate me on this
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: level and you start saying, that's okay. Don't even worry
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: about it. It's all good, baby.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Just chill. Rock with the music, honey. It's all right.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: It don't even matter. Talk to the hand. Yeah, yeah.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: He's in a dilemma now and he is fighting. He
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: is fighting. His greatness is coming out. It's crowning. And
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: when greatness crowns, it creates conflict.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Because it does not crown when you have been placed
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: in the position. It crowns before. You're rich before you
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: got the money. You're educated before you got the degree.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: You're a preacher before they ordained you. You're a leader
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: before you get the job. You're a visionary before you
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: become a CEO. You're a wife before you get married.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: You're a husband before you find a woman. If you're
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: not that before, you won't be after. So you have
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: to go through a period of displacement where you have
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: vision to function on a level and don't have opportunity,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: which creates frustration. Yes, it does. Yes, it does. Because
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: you say, I feel this with everything I got inside
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: of me. But nothing outside has acknowledged me on the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: level that I think on. And you don't feel appreciated
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: because your thoughts are up here and your situation. Do
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you hear what I'm saying to you?
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Still to come on The Potter's Touch.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I had no idea I was even important enough to
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: be hated on the level I was hated on. I
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: couldn't even defend myself because I was shocked that you
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: cared enough to write anything about me. Who am I
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: that you would care anyway? Your hatred of me helped
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to tutor me into understanding my own significance.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, y'all don't hear what I'm saying. What do you
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: do with the fire that will not go?
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: The wait is over. God wants to use you in
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: extraordinary ways now. Great things are ahead of you. You're
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: on the verge.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: You are not just going from day to day, week
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to week, month to month, and now you're getting ready
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: to step into another year. You are standing on the cusp.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Of an entirely new awakening.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: There's a burning.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Desire down inside of you that will not shut up.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I got the pain, but I got the passion too.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I got the problem, but I got the passion too.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I got a little chatter going on, but I still
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: got the passion. Life is going to hand you something
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: every day. Take in what you can get out of it.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Let go of what you can't get out of it.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: But don't let anybody hurt you so bad that you
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: shall die.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: The wait is over. It's time to make your life count.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Order The Verge today. Visit our website or call 1-800-BISHOP-2.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Now look at the conflict for a minute. If it
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: were not enough conflict to be an Egyptian-speaking Hebrew, A
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: cultural conflict with an unresolved childhood. Now God is bringing
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: greatness out of a man who doesn't have a position
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: to match his intellect. A weaker person would have blown
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: their brains out. I said, this is just crazy. This
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. Some of y'all are there right now.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Your life does not make any sense. You're in the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: middle of your life and it doesn't make any sense
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: because you got thoughts over here, but your situation is
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: over here. And you're still trying to work out some
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: stuff from your childhood, but.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: You're a grown man. Praise the Lord.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: And you're in this situation and you're trying to fix
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: people around you while you're still conflicted on the inside.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: And you wonder, how can the physician be sick? How
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: can the healer be broken? How can I help other
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: people and can't help myself? How can I, oh God,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: help me to preach this thing. Am I talking to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: anybody today? He's 40 years old. And he's trying to
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: get it together. And he's trying to figure it out.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: And he's running out of time. And he's trying to help.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: And he's trying to make a difference in spite of
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: his background, in spite of his childhood, in spite of
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: his conflict. He's trying to make a difference. He's trying
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: to make a difference. There's something down inside of him.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: He can't figure out what it is. Nobody's taking ownership
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: of it. The Egyptians haven't embraced it. The Hebrews don't
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: like it. Moses doesn't understand it. Yet when he sees conflict,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: he runs in there with a big S on his
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: shirt and he runs out there with his cape and
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: his boots on and he's trying to help people who
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: don't even like him. Have you ever tried to help
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: people who don't even appreciate the help you're trying to
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: give them? And there you are trying to make a
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: difference in their life and the very people you're trying
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to help are giving you the most hell you ever
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: had in all of your life. Because you have never
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: been hurt till you get hurt by somebody you're trying
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: to help. Oh, I wish I had somebody who'd been misunderstood.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I wish I had somebody who was trying to do
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: a good thing. And every time you tried to do
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: something good, things got worse instead of better. The more
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Moses tried to help people, the bigger mess he found
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: himself in. He's got a dead man buried in the
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: sand and he's out there in another fight. And before
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: he can get out of this, here comes that. And
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: before he can straighten out that, here comes something else.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Look like every 24 hours, a new kind of.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Fight breaks out in your life.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Is there anybody in church today that every time you
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: turn around, scared to answer the phone, scared to open
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: up your own email. You say, Lord, if another fight
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: breaks out in my life, I got fighting on the inside.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I got fighting on the outside. I got fighting in
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: my personal life. I got, oh God, I'm talking for somebody.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I don't even know who it is. And I want
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: you to see the irony. These two Hebrews are fighting.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Moses comes out to break up the fight. And one
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: of the Hebrews, he's not trying to kill anybody. He's
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: just trying to say, go home, don't fight. And one
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: of the Hebrews said, who are you to be trying
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: to straighten us out? Who made you prince? Well, who
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: did make him prince? The Lord had made him prince.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: But he was trying to do the right thing at
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the wrong time. Don't try to get there before you're there.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Just because you can think there, you have not been
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: placed there. You can be anointed and not be appointed.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: You can be anointed to be king over Israel, David,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: and then have to be sent back out there to
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: shovel sheep dung. Because one of the tests of greatness
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: is your ability to survive frustration. So God will put
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: greatness in isolation, which creates frustration. Because you have to
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: be able to survive frustration in order to be eligible.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: To become a leader.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Because if you can't handle internal frustration, you sure can't
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: handle external frustration. If frustration on the inside is going
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: to make you quit, what in the world are you
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: going to do when you have frustration on the outside?
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: So when God is getting you ready for frustration on
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the outside, he lets you deal with a lot of
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: frustration on the inside so that you can learn how
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: to be frustrated and still be faithful, frustrated and still
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: be consistent, frustrated and still be diligent. I'm talking to somebody.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know who it is, but I'm talking to
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: somebody this morning.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: So here he is.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: And he's trying to, yes, shout with me, baby. I
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: feel something about to break loose in here this morning.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I feel the anointing of God about to break loose
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: in here. See, when you hear, this is how we
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: express ourselves, but when you hear people holler like that,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: that means truth hits you. When truth hits you in
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: the face, all of a sudden you have a reaction
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: to it because I'm preaching to you about one thing,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: but God is showing you different things in your life
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: that fit what I'm preaching about. That's a miracle of
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: preaching the gospel. And so.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: The guy says to him, who made you prince over us?
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: His prophecy is in the mouth of his enemies. His
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: prophecy is in the mouth of his enemies. I learned
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: more about who I was from my haters. I had
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: no idea I was even important enough to be hated
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: on the level I was hated on.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I couldn't even.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Defend myself because I was shocked.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: That you cared.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Enough to write anything about me who am I that
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: you would care anyway your hatred of me helped to
• 19:59

  Speaker 1: have a good time. The Bible says in Hebrews that

  Speaker 1: the gifts and callings of God are without repentance. When

  Speaker 1: I grew up, they taught us that that meant that
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: people could be gifted without repenting. But when I studied
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the text, what it really means is that once God
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: calls you, he does not repent. He does not change
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: his mind. He does not take it back.
