  Speaker 1: Coming up on The Potter's Touch.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: God did not promise you that by the time you
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: found your significant other, that it would be what you
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: thought it would be. God did not promise you that
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: if you joined this church or that church, that it
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: would be what you thought it would be.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: But I came to tell you.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: This morning that our God is a God of the unexpected. Oh,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: my God, I feel a shout. I'm going to say
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: it again. Our God is a God of the unexpected.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: So just because life has shocked you doesn't mean it's
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: shocked God. Nothing takes God by surprise. He already knows
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: what's going on in every corner of your life. And
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: he sent me here to tell you, don't worry about it.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I got you covered. This is the potter's touch.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Hello, family.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ, our King. I'm
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Bishop T.D. Jakes, the senior pastor of the Potter's House,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: and I'm so glad to have an opportunity to be
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: a part of your life and to be in your
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: home and to share this word with you. This is
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: a powerful word that God has put in my heart
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: and in my spirit, and I believe it's going to
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: bless your life. The message is called Run After Your Destiny.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: If you've been tied up and tangled, betwixt and between,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: as my grandmother would say, two different ideas, I'm going
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: to give you a clear, absolute word of direction. Run
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: after your destiny. Take a look at this. It's the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: gospel of St. John, chapter number 20. Now on the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: first day of the week, come of Mary Magdalene early
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: while it was yet dark unto the tomb. And see
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: of the stone taken away from the tomb. She runneth
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: therefore and cometh to Simon Peter and to other disciples
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: whom Jesus, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: and saith unto them, they have taken away the Lord
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: out of the tomb and we know not where they
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: have lain him. Peter therefore went forth and the other
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: disciple and they went toward the tomb. Peter went forth
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: and the other disciple and they went toward the temple
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: and they both ran together. Somebody say that with me.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: And they both ran together. Say it again. And they
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: both ran together. And the other disciple outran Peter and
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: came first to the tomb. And stooping and looking in,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: he seeeth the linen cloths lying, yet entered he not in.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him. and entered into
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the tomb, and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the napkin that was upon his head, not lying with
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: then entered in, therefore the other disciple also, who came
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: first to the tomb, and he saw and believed. Somebody
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: shout amen. I want to talk from the subject run
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: after your destiny. Run after your destiny. Touch your neighbor
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and say, run after your destiny. Do not stroll, do
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: not walk, do not meander, do not wander, but roll
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: after your destiny. The women have gone down to the
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: tomb to add respect and homage to their leader. They
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: did not go down to the tomb expecting him to
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: be resurrected. That is the religious privilege that you have
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: ascribed to this text because you understand the outcome. They
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: were not coming down to the tomb expecting the stone
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: to be rolled away because quite frankly, if they would
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: have known that Jesus was going to be raised from
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: the dead, they probably would have never left. Who would
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: leave the tomb? if you were expecting him to get
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: back up again? Who would walk away and hide themselves
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: up behind closed doors and be afraid to come out
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: if you thought the master was going to crescendo after
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: three days and come out of the grave? It was
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: not the magnitude of their commitment to faith. It was
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: their love for the person that brings him down to
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the tomb. with their frankincense and myrrh and their burial
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: incenses just to aromatize that which smells. Because there are
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: some places in life that smell. And the women have
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: come down to the tomb, no doubt with heavy hearts
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: and tear-stained faces, to memorialize the master. the master is
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: gone and there are some glorious people glorious people whose
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: love is not so fickle that the love faints when
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: the conditions change there are a few people a minority
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: if you please who are impassioned even when it's painful
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Anybody can love you when you're up. Anybody can love
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: you when you just got a promotion. Anybody can love
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you when you just bought a yacht. But when everybody
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: turns against you and all hell breaks loose and it
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: looks like you're not a winner and it looks like
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the love doesn't pay, most people make a withdrawal when
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: they don't see a benefit.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: I wonder, I can't help but wonder in my.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Mind, where were the 5,000 with the two fish and
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: five loaves of bread? They didn't make the crucifixion or
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: the graveside service. They didn't come to bring memorials. And
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: where was the woman with the issue of blood?
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: The woman at the well.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Where were they? Where was blind Bartimaeus? Where was Lazarus?
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Isn't it amazing how you can pour yourself into people
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: who do not pour themselves into you? That you can
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: give yourself to people who will suck up all they
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: can get. And the moment it doesn't look advantageous, they
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: will all walk away. But the Bible says that love
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: endures all things. Love, I mean real love, not infatuation,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: not puppy love, not some dribbling of emotional expression, but real,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: true love.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Love is lascivious. It gives freely.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: It's passionate.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: It's bodacious. And it will give even when you're not winning.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: It will give when the thrill is gone. It will
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: give when the pulse is weak. It will give when
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: there is no benefit nor advantage. Love just keeps on giving.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: The 5,000 didn't come. Blind Bartimaeus is not seen. The
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: woman at the well is not there. But here comes Jesus.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: just a few scragglers. If in your life you have
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: a few people in your whole life, I mean from
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: the cradle to the grave, who loves you unconditionally, here
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: they come down to the tomb where there was no
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: advantage just to do what I can with a situation
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I cannot change. Can't you see them coming down to
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: the tomb with heavy hearts and broken spirits going down
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: to the tomb thinking, oh God, we've lost it. We've
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: lost the master. We've lost the master of miracles. We've
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: lost the master of miracles after 400 years of silence.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: No miracles, no prophetic utterances, no decrees, no declarations. And
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: we had 33 years of promise. And now we have
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: lost the master of miracles. Get this myrrh and stuff together.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Let's go down to what's left of Jesus.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: When Mary got down to the tomb, it was a mess.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: People pay good money to make sure the tombs are
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: decorated and looking nice. It was an absolute mess. The
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: stone had been rolled away. It was disruption.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: At the tomb. He was not there. He died. I
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: will take this liberty in assuming she was angry.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Because the Bible doesn't tell me how she went down,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: but it tells me how she came back. She was
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: running when she came back. back because there are some
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: things in your life that will make you run. There
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: are certain things that will happen in your life that
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: make you pick up the pace. that slap you out
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: of your stupor and say, this ain't no time to cry.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: You feel like I can't even have good grief without
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the world going crazy. I can't even have this moment
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: without people. Somebody has stolen Jesus. She thought, they've taken
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: away my Lord, she said, and I know not where
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: they took him.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: The master of miracles.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Don't you remember he had cast demons of her. He
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: changed my life. And they've taken away my master. And
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: she said, I've got to go get some help. And
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: she goes running to tell and to find Peter and
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: the other disciples. You remember Peter and the other disciple.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: We've heard those phrases before. We hear about Peter and
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: how Jesus had called him and strengthened him and set
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: him apart and taught him to be the rock that
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: his name says that he is and taught him to
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: be unrelenting up under pressure and was teaching him all
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: kinds of things about life. She comes to get Peter
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: and the other disciple running to the tomb to find him,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: running to the last seen location of Jesus.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: As soon as.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Mary could get to Peter, she was going to tell them,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: somebody's taken.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Away the Lord.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: And walking with him is no longer what I expected.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: As grieved as I am by him passing away, I'm
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: more upset by him not being there because now life is,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: has handed me something that I didn't expect. I'm wondering
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: this morning if there's anybody here that life has handed
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: you something that you didn't expect.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Oh my God.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: The one thing I can tell you for sure is
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: that nothing is for sure. That's the one thing I
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: can tell you to count on is don't count on anything.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: That life will often disrupt what you expected. That just
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: as soon as you have it down in a nice,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: neat little box of how you think it's going to go,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: and that when I walk down here, this is what
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: is going to happen, by the time you get there,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: it will never be what you expected it to be.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: So you got to get used to being a little disappointed.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: You gotta get used to being a little bit shocked.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: You gotta get used to walking into situations and being
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: flexible and adjustable because if you are not flexible, you
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: cannot survive. God did not promise you that by the
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: time you got to where you was trying to go,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: it would be what you thought it would be. God
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: did not promise you that by the time you got
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: the house you were trying to get, it would be
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: what you thought it would be. God did not promise
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: you that by the time you found your significant other,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: that it would be what you thought it would be.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: God did not promise you that if you joined this
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: church or that church, that it would be what you
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: thought it would be. But I came to tell you
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: this morning that our God is a God of the unexpected. Oh,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: my God, I feel a shout. I'm going to say
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: it again. Our God is a God of the unexpected.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: So just because life has shocked you doesn't mean it's
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: shocked God. Nothing takes God by surprise. He already knows
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: what's going on in every corner of your life. And
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: he sent me here to tell you, don't worry about it.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I got you covered. Don't worry about it. I got
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: your coverage. You may be shocked, but God's not shocked. Oh,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: that's a good shouting spot right there.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Still to come on The Potter's Touch.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Somebody's late, but you made up your mind. I'm going
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: to start running. I didn't get it until I got
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: to this age, but I'm going to start running. I
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: messed up junior high, but now I'm going to start running.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I messed up high school, but now I'm going to
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: start running. The moment you get the word, you ought
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: to run. The Bible said, the day you hear my voice,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: harden not your heart.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: When God gives you a chance at an escape, don't
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: be cute.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Run after your death.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: My God, run.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Before I die in a cage. I want to run
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: in the wild.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: We can do what it is without limits, without being
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: boxed in a cage, without being hindered. I want to
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: run in the wild of my destiny. I want to
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: run in the wild of my purpose.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Telling us to branch out and it's time to shift
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and just about taking it to the next level and
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the just thinking outside of the four walls.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: I got to get out of this cage. God has
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: given us a place around where we are passionate to
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: take over that region for the kingdom of God. You're
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: frustrated about something that's just an incubator to take you
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: to the next dimension. Now we're going to grow and
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: go to global missions. No more limits, no more boundaries.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: The cage is open. You don't have any excuses anymore
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: on why you can't fulfill your purpose and complete your assignment.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: To register for this international gathering, visit pastorsandleaders.org or call 1-800-BISHOP-2.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: God's got you covered. When you don't get what you expect,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: God's got you covered. When it's a disappointment, God's got
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: you covered. When you walk down and run into a mess,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: God's got you covered. Can you hear me in the balcony?
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: God's got you covered. Can you hear me on that iPad?
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: God's got you covered. And all of a sudden, life
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: demands that you pick up the pace.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Life demands that you pick up the pace.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: If you don't pick up the pace, you're gonna be
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: left behind. I'm amazed at the people that lack the
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: flexibility to pick up the pace. They just get in
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: a rut. I stroll down here, and I'm going to
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: stroll back.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: I'm going to stroll over here. I'm going to stroll
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: over there.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: One of the most amazing things about the disaster at
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Malaysia is that when it happened, everybody had to pick
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: up the pace. All the news media had to pick
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: up the pace. They were booking night flights and flying
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: over here and flying over there. Somebody had to work overtime,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: won't be home for three days, typing in the middle
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: of the night, research going on because when something happens,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: everybody got to pick up the pace. That's why I
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: can't deal with people who cannot pick up the pace.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Don't be strolling when I got a 911 on you.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I need people who can pick up the pace. Flap
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: your name and say, pick up the pace. Something is
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: about to happen.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: Pick up the pace.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Something is about to happen. Pick up the pace. Something
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: is about to happen.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Pick up the pace.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Something is about to happen.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: Pick up the pace.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Something is about to happen. Pick up the pace.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Something is about to happen.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I came to tell the young people, pick up the pace.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Pick up the pace.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Pick up the pace. Something is about to happen.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: My son told me, my son and I were doing
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: a little cookout, spending a little quality time together. He
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: said to me, he said, Daddy, he said, I'm planning
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: to do this and I'm planning to do that and
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I'm planning to do the other. I'm planning to do
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: this over here and I'm planning to do this. When
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I get out of college, I'm going to do this
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: right here. I'm going to go over here. I'm planning
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: to live over here and I'm going to do this
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: over here and do that. And then when I get
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: through doing this, I'm going to do that and I'm
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: going to do that and do the other. What do
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: you think about that? And I thought to myself, my God.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited and I'm so proud because he told me,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: he said, daddy, he said, I can't talk to all
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: of my friends about it because he said, most of
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: my friends don't want nothing.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: The danger of low expectations.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: I would rather aim for the stars and not hit
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: them than to not aim at all. I would rather
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: go after it and not get it than not go
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: after it at all. I'd rather try and fail than
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: not try at all. I don't want to live with
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: the idea wonder what would have happened had I done
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: more with my life. I'm going to go for it,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: come hell or high water, I'm going after my destiny.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Touch your neighbor and.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: Say, run!
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: You gotta run after your destiny. You can't stroll after

• 20:50

  Speaker 3: And if you don't want it, get out of my way.

  Speaker 2: When they gave the young man the scholarship, tears welled
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: up in my eyes.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: I said, oh, God, good.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: He got a better chance to run after your destiny.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Touch your neighbor and say, run after your destiny.
• 21:41

  Speaker 2: running time. It's running time. It's not strolling time. It's
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: not walking time. It's not sightseeing time. It's running time.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Touch your neighbor and say running time. You see, if
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: you hear me good, especially young people, if you run
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: after your destiny, you will automatically distance yourself from your history.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: You understand? If you just run after what's in front
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: of you, you will escape what's behind you. Don't spend
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: all your time trying to fix what's behind you because
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: you'll never be able to fix.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: What's behind you.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: You have to run after what's in front of you.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Touch your neighbor and say, run.
