- 0:00Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am a sherry macket.
- 0:04Speaker 1: Is time right now for today's word? Change your image
- 0:10Speaker 1: of you? Judges six and fifteen says, but Lord Gideon replied,
- 0:18Speaker 1: how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest
- 0:22Speaker 1: of a whole tribe of Manassa, and I am the
- 0:26Speaker 1: least in my entire family. Do you hear what get
- 0:31Speaker 1: In said about himself. My tribe is the weakest in
- 0:36Speaker 1: the whole clan. I am the weakest in my entire family.
- 0:41Speaker 1: A distorted self image will absolutely hold you back from
- 0:45Speaker 1: God's best for your life.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Y'all. Too often we.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Don't realize that our self image has been damaged. We've
- 0:54Speaker 1: been through hurts, we've been through disappointments, and even we've
- 0:58Speaker 1: made mistakes.
- 0:59Speaker 2: Then we wonder why we can't rise any higher.
- 1:04Speaker 1: It's similar to what happened with Gideon when an angel
- 1:07Speaker 1: showed up and said, mighty hero, the Lord is with you.
- 1:11Speaker 1: He was afraid and hiding from the enemy. Gideon's image
- 1:17Speaker 1: of himself was least one, poorous, defeated, can't do anything.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Pitiful.
- 1:26Speaker 1: That's what I call it, a pitiful self image. Well,
- 1:29Speaker 1: see God's image of him though, was mighty hero, fearless, courage,
- 1:36Speaker 1: history maker.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Here's the key.
- 1:39Speaker 1: You can't keep your damaged image of yourself and have
- 1:42Speaker 1: God's image of you.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Two.
- 1:45Speaker 1: You have to give God your image. Let him control
- 1:49Speaker 1: how you see yourself, not the media, not your family,
- 1:53Speaker 1: not your job, not your critics, and not even your
- 1:58Speaker 1: past mistakes are God knows what's inside of you. He
- 2:03Speaker 1: put it there. He will help you become what you're
- 2:06Speaker 1: meant to be.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Is a wrong image self image keeping you from your greatness?
- 2:16Speaker 1: Have you believed the lives of the enemy like you're
- 2:19Speaker 1: too old, you're too young, You're not smart enough, You're
- 2:24Speaker 1: not gifted or talented enough. That's okay, You're right, We're
- 2:28Speaker 1: getting used to be where he was. You can still
- 2:32Speaker 1: become that mighty hero that God says you are.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Give God your image.
- 2:37Speaker 1: He will help you change your image so that you
- 2:40Speaker 1: can see yourself the way that He sees you.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Oh Father, God, thank you for the call.
- 2:47Speaker 1: To get our hopes up, to start expecting things to change,
- 2:50Speaker 1: to wake up what you put on the inside of us.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Thank you that we are not limited by.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Our past, by dysfunction passed down through our family, or
- 2:59Speaker 1: by what others have said about us. God, we believe
- 3:02Speaker 1: that you're going to help us to rise up and
- 3:04Speaker 1: be the mighty heroes that you say we are in
- 3:07Speaker 1: Jesus' name.
