0:00
Speaker 1: Next, on The Potter's Touch.
0:02
Speaker 2: We turn on TV and we go to places where
0:05
Speaker 2: smart people are supposed to think big ideas and we'll
0:08
Speaker 2: watch it on MSNBC or Fox or CNN and we're
0:13
Speaker 2: waiting for.
0:13
Speaker 1: A big idea and all we do.
0:16
Speaker 2: Is see a bunch of little people down there boxing
0:18
Speaker 2: each other day after day after day after day and
0:21
Speaker 2: yet we have big problems and big issues and big
0:24
Speaker 2: circumstances and big crises and we don't have time to
0:28
Speaker 2: get into little fights. When you've got big problems to resolve,
0:32
Speaker 2: we've got a Goliath to kill.
0:57
Speaker 3: Hello, you are watching The Potter's Touch, and I am
1:00
Speaker 3: your host, Sarah Henson. I am so excited for this
1:04
Speaker 3: opportunity to share with you a message that truly blessed
1:08
Speaker 3: our congregation. What's the big idea? Sometimes we have our
1:12
Speaker 3: own plans, but we know that God has something for
1:15
Speaker 3: us that may exceed what we have for ourselves. Okay,
1:20
Speaker 3: so it's time for you to figure out what's the
1:22
Speaker 3: big idea that God has for your life. Take a
1:25
Speaker 3: look at this message.
1:27
Speaker 2: A friend of mine says this all the time and
1:28
Speaker 2: it's true. It's hard to be big when little's got you.
1:35
Speaker 2: It's hard to be big when little's got you. When
1:41
Speaker 2: little's got you, you can be in a big situation
1:45
Speaker 2: and have a big opportunity and have a big chance
1:49
Speaker 2: and have a big door open unto you. But you
1:51
Speaker 2: either won't go through it or you'll ruin it when
1:55
Speaker 2: you get in it because you are too little for
1:59
Speaker 2: the big opportunity that's been extended unto you. There is
2:05
Speaker 2: nothing worse than to see a little man in a
2:09
Speaker 2: big position. They don't know how to handle it. They
2:18
Speaker 2: lord it. They abuse it. They misuse it. They mess
2:21
Speaker 2: it up. They got a complex. They've got to show
2:25
Speaker 2: off and tell you everything. And they've got a big opportunity.
2:29
Speaker 2: But because they're little people, eventually if you put a
2:36
Speaker 2: little person in a big spot, they will lose the
2:40
Speaker 2: spot because they're too little for the opportunities. Thank you, Lord,
2:48
Speaker 2: for the things that you held back. Thank you, Lord,
2:51
Speaker 2: for not letting me catch any fish before I was
2:54
Speaker 2: able to handle it. I'm glad I toiled all night
2:57
Speaker 2: and didn't catch anything because you knew if I caught it,
2:59
Speaker 2: I was going to mess it up. Thank you, Lord,
3:01
Speaker 2: for holding it back until I matured enough to be
3:04
Speaker 2: able to handle the stress load of standing on the
3:08
Speaker 2: place I'm standing right now. Is there anybody in here
3:11
Speaker 2: that looks back and says, Lord, I thank you? That
3:13
Speaker 2: you didn't answer my earlier prayers. I would have messed
3:16
Speaker 2: that up real good. I wasn't ready for that. I
3:19
Speaker 2: didn't have any idea what I was stepping into. It's
3:23
Speaker 2: hard to be big when little's got you. I've seen
3:30
Speaker 2: some little people in height that were big in thought.
3:37
Speaker 2: And I've seen some big people who had little thoughts.
3:45
Speaker 2: It's terrible to be led by somebody with little thoughts.
3:52
Speaker 2: Guided by somebody with little thoughts. It's hard to be
3:58
Speaker 2: in love with somebody with little thoughts. Oh, handsome as
4:07
Speaker 2: they could be. Just beautiful, just handsome. She's just as
4:11
Speaker 2: voluptuous as you please. And you're all caught up. I
4:14
Speaker 2: did my hand, didn't I? You're all caught up. You're
4:18
Speaker 2: all caught up with the externals. But you don't marry
4:23
Speaker 2: the box. You marry the content. And then you find out.
4:37
Speaker 2: Little people don't warn you that they're little people. Their
4:46
Speaker 2: behavior tells you that they are little people. Little people
4:53
Speaker 2: have little thoughts, have little ideas, have little goals, fight big.
5:03
Speaker 1: Battles for little rewards.
5:08
Speaker 2: Little people will fall out with you about things that
5:12
Speaker 2: make no sense because they always major on the minor
5:19
Speaker 2: and minor on the major. When you start talking about
5:30
Speaker 2: big ideas, it's global thinking.
5:36
Speaker 1: It's global thinking. It's a panoramic view.
5:41
Speaker 2: It's the big picture. It's priorities. It's what really counts.
5:52
Speaker 2: It's what's really significant. It's about purpose and not problems.
5:59
Speaker 1: It's about the higher issue.
6:02
Speaker 2: Our world today is stuck, entrenched in little issues. Little
6:09
Speaker 2: resolvable issues are taking up big amounts of time because
6:14
Speaker 2: we've got people with little ideas and they can't see
6:17
Speaker 2: the bigger issue of what is better for our country,
6:20
Speaker 2: better for our world. And so we turn on TV
6:23
Speaker 2: and we go to places where smart people are supposed
6:26
Speaker 2: to think big ideas and we'll watch it on MSNBC
6:30
Speaker 2: or Fox or CNN and we're waiting for a big idea.
6:34
Speaker 1: And all we do is.
6:35
Speaker 2: See a bunch of little people down there boxing each
6:37
Speaker 2: other day after day after day after day. And yet
6:41
Speaker 2: we have big problems and big issues and big circumstances
6:44
Speaker 2: and big crises.
6:45
Speaker 1: And we don't have.
6:46
Speaker 2: Time to get into little fights when you've got big
6:50
Speaker 2: problems to resolve.
6:52
Speaker 1: We've got a Goliath to kill. Still to come on
7:00
Speaker 1: The Potter's Touch.
7:02
Speaker 2: If you want to turn your life around completely, you'll
7:06
Speaker 2: never turn your life around with little thinking. Little thinking
7:12
Speaker 2: will make you stubborn and angry. And it will make
7:17
Speaker 2: you so intent on winning the battle that you mess
7:22
Speaker 2: around and lose the whole war. It is possible to
7:27
Speaker 2: win the battle and lose the war. Everybody's being promoted
7:34
Speaker 2: but you. Everybody's being recognized but you. Everybody's being loved
7:39
Speaker 2: but you.
7:39
Speaker 4: Your opposition is your opportunity. When you ask, what's the
7:43
Speaker 4: big idea?
7:44
Speaker 2: You got talent, but you're overlooked, and God allowed it
7:48
Speaker 2: to be so, because there's power in being overlooked. When
7:52
Speaker 2: you've been held back a long time, and you finally
7:56
Speaker 2: do get an opportunity to get a release, you say,
7:59
Speaker 2: I'm going to live on purpose.
8:00
Speaker 1: Somebody holler, give it back!
8:04
Speaker 4: We'd like to give you Bishop Jake's illuminating message, What's
8:07
Speaker 4: the Big Idea, on DVD. Just visit our website or
8:10
Speaker 4: call 1-800-BISHOP-2 today.
8:12
Speaker 2: I never will forget several years ago, somebody made me.
8:27
Speaker 1: An orange man. Orange is past red.
8:36
Speaker 2: If you got a gas stove, you know them little
8:38
Speaker 2: orange tips right at the top. That's how hot I was.
8:45
Speaker 2: If you don't believe that's hot, stick your hand right
8:47
Speaker 2: over there. Don't go for the blue. Go for the orange.
8:49
Speaker 2: Get right up in that orange there.
8:55
Speaker 1: I was a fire. I was a blaze.
8:57
Speaker 2: And I got a chance to talk to him on
8:59
Speaker 2: the phone. And they said he's on the phone. And
9:02
Speaker 2: I ran to the phone. with suppressor air, I said, oh,
9:07
Speaker 2: we're going to have it today. I lit in on
9:13
Speaker 2: him like an ugly on an ape. I was riding
9:19
Speaker 2: him like a kid rode on a ferris wheel up
9:22
Speaker 2: and down the road. We're going down.
9:25
Speaker 1: Now we're going up. And right in the middle of
9:32
Speaker 1: the argument, I lost interest. I really did. I lost interest.
9:48
Speaker 1: Because when we got to arguing.
9:50
Speaker 2: I realized that I was arguing with somebody who thinks
9:54
Speaker 2: like a toddler. and I felt like a grown man
10:04
Speaker 2: fighting a kid in a nursery because when we began
10:10
Speaker 2: to communicate I began to understand that his thinking was
10:15
Speaker 2: so here that that I was wasting my licks punching
10:20
Speaker 2: all up here. I was punching where he should be.
10:25
Speaker 2: And he was talking where he is. He was hitting
10:28
Speaker 2: me all in my shins and all in my ankle
10:31
Speaker 2: bones and stuff, ready to cuss me out and everything.
10:34
Speaker 2: And I was punching all over top of where his
10:38
Speaker 2: head should have been if he'd have been thinking up here.
10:41
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden I just said, that's all right.
10:46
Speaker 1: It's okay, man.
10:48
Speaker 2: I'm good. Because I had thought of some really significant
10:55
Speaker 2: things to say to defend my position.
11:04
Speaker 1: But a big idea.
11:06
Speaker 2: Used on a little person is a wasted punch. And
11:16
Speaker 2: I lost interest in it. Sometimes I get on Twitter
11:20
Speaker 2: and I'll have like an hour or two. I'm just goofing.
11:23
Speaker 2: And I'll get on there and just start a discussion.
11:26
Speaker 2: And sometimes you really get good stuff back. And sometimes,
11:35
Speaker 2: you know, you just get something back. And people are
11:42
Speaker 2: being trained today to think so small They're being trained.
11:48
Speaker 2: Those who control the media and the airwaves are feeding
11:52
Speaker 2: us a steady diet of little thinking.
11:58
Speaker 1: Oh, please, please hear me.
12:00
Speaker 2: A steady, perpetual, 24-hour news cycle of little thinking where
12:06
Speaker 2: we major on things that are not relative to the
12:09
Speaker 2: destiny of our people and our civilization. And little thinking
12:15
Speaker 2: may be entertaining. but it's not revolutionary. If you want
12:22
Speaker 2: to turn your life around completely, you'll never turn your
12:26
Speaker 2: life around with little thinking. Little thinking will make you
12:33
Speaker 2: stubborn and angry and it will make you so intent
12:38
Speaker 2: on winning the battle that you mess around and lose
12:42
Speaker 2: the whole war. It is possible To win the battle.
12:49
Speaker 1: And lose the war. It is possible.
12:53
Speaker 2: To show how indignant. And how stubborn you are. And
12:57
Speaker 2: you ain't going to get the last word. Of me.
13:01
Speaker 2: Only to realize. That that's not even the point. God does.
13:09
Speaker 2: Big thinking. And he's calling for us to do. Big thinking.
13:17
Speaker 2: And even when we do our biggest thoughts, our thoughts
13:19
Speaker 2: are still foolishness compared to his thoughts. So you know
13:24
Speaker 2: what happens when we think small. Joseph is in a
13:29
Speaker 2: situation here where he has been given his destiny and
13:35
Speaker 2: purpose at an early age. And God through a dream
13:39
Speaker 2: lets him know that I have chosen you to be
13:44
Speaker 2: in a position of power. And leadership is going to
13:49
Speaker 2: give you power.
13:51
Speaker 1: Give you power.
13:53
Speaker 2: Whenever God says he's going to give you power, get
13:57
Speaker 2: ready for pain. Pain is what God gives with power
14:05
Speaker 2: to keep you from arrogance. You will never become intoxicated
14:12
Speaker 2: by the power he has allocated you.
14:14
Speaker 1: Because you have to.
14:15
Speaker 2: Deal with the distraction of the pain that is dispensed
14:18
Speaker 2: with the power.
14:20
Speaker 1: He told him, you're going to reign. And he said, oh,
14:22
Speaker 1: I had a dream.
14:23
Speaker 2: And he comes down to all his brothers, his great
14:25
Speaker 2: big old powerful dream.
14:30
Speaker 1: And they hated him.
14:35
Speaker 2: And they said, because of your purpose, we have despised you.
14:44
Speaker 2: And they snatched him and they put him in a pit.
14:48
Speaker 2: They threw him in a pit. Took his coat of
14:51
Speaker 2: many colors. Dipped the coat in blood. They lied on him.
14:57
Speaker 2: Told his father he would be. If you think people
15:02
Speaker 2: won't lie on you. You know the old saying that
15:09
Speaker 2: there's always a little truth in every lie. That's not true.
15:12
Speaker 2: Joseph wasn't even sick. He didn't even have a cold.
15:15
Speaker 2: They said he was dead. Some lies have no foundation
15:21
Speaker 2: at all. And all of a sudden through something that
15:27
Speaker 2: he had nothing to do with, the middle part of
15:31
Speaker 2: his life, the biggest part of his life was.
15:35
Speaker 1: Consumed by a lie.
15:41
Speaker 2: And he finds himself down in a pit, half naked,
15:45
Speaker 2: no food, no water, vulnerable, and at the mercy of life,
15:52
Speaker 2: probably expecting to die in a hole like an animal,
15:58
Speaker 2: waiting to get out. And whenever you go through something
16:03
Speaker 2: that takes you down, there's always somebody there to say,
16:06
Speaker 2: what did you do to.
16:07
Speaker 1: Bring this on yourself?
16:12
Speaker 2: When injustices occur, we always look for logic. We are
16:18
Speaker 2: such rational people. We try to reason, how did this happen?
16:25
Speaker 2: Why are you leaving me? I was good to you.
16:29
Speaker 2: Why do you treat me like that? I've been good
16:32
Speaker 2: to you. Why are you cheating on me? I've been
16:35
Speaker 2: good to you. We look for logic to life. If
16:42
Speaker 2: you look for logic, you're going to go crazy. Because
16:48
Speaker 2: life acted like it drank a fifth of Gordon's gin.
16:54
Speaker 2: You get a good fifth in you, you might say anything.
16:56
Speaker 2: It doesn't even make any sense. You ever seen an
17:00
Speaker 2: old drunk go to crying? They don't even know what they're...
17:02
Speaker 2: They was laughing a minute ago.
17:04
Speaker 1: My mama died. And you think she just died 30
17:07
Speaker 1: years ago?
17:08
Speaker 2: Mama.
17:14
Speaker 2: Every time Joseph thought things were going to get better,
17:18
Speaker 2: the Midianites came down there and they bought him for
17:21
Speaker 2: 20 pieces of silver and brought him out. And he thought,
17:24
Speaker 2: at least I'm out of the pit. You know, I'm enslaved,
17:27
Speaker 2: but I'm out of the pit. And when you've been
17:29
Speaker 2: down real low, bad looks good. Some of y'all don't
17:36
Speaker 2: know because you've never really been down. But when you've
17:40
Speaker 2: been down real low, you can't trust your own judgment anymore.
17:43
Speaker 2: because bad will look good. When you've been real lonely,
17:50
Speaker 2: can't nobody even hug you in church because, can't nobody
17:54
Speaker 2: just smile at you or anything because any sign of
17:57
Speaker 2: attention or affection or admiration or anything like that, you
18:02
Speaker 2: don't even evaluate, I don't know this person, I don't
18:05
Speaker 2: know it. You're just so desperate for any sign of
18:09
Speaker 2: hope That you done fell in love because they handed
18:12
Speaker 2: you the communion stuff.
18:14
Speaker 1: Oh, the moment I saw.
18:20
Speaker 2: The... When you know you're vulnerable, you can't trust your
18:22
Speaker 2: own judgment. Because terrible makes bad look good. So he
18:31
Speaker 2: thought things were getting better. And he went to work
18:33
Speaker 2: for Potiphar's house. And for a season, things were going
18:36
Speaker 2: really good. And then they lied on him again. They
18:41
Speaker 2: lied on him before. And now they're lying on him again.
18:45
Speaker 2: And they lied on him and everything turned bad. Lied before.
18:52
Speaker 2: Lied again. They keep lying. It feels like a cycle.
19:00
Speaker 2: Have you ever gone through something that you say, this
19:02
Speaker 2: is just another version of something I went through before?
19:07
Speaker 2: And the names have changed. You know, last time it
19:16
Speaker 2: was on a highway. This time it's in an alley.
19:18
Speaker 2: Last time we're on a bridge. This time we're on
19:20
Speaker 2: the front porch. But it's the same cycle of pain.
19:26
Speaker 2: And if you're not careful, you will mistake the process
19:31
Speaker 2: to be your purpose. You will think that the process
19:38
Speaker 2: is your purpose and you will misalign yourself with your
19:41
Speaker 2: process and say, I'm not supposed to have it any better.
19:45
Speaker 2: And even if God were to offer you something better,
19:47
Speaker 2: you would not be attracted to it because you have fallen.
19:50
Speaker 2: in love with the process and not the promise and
19:55
Speaker 2: not the purpose. Every time he went up, he went
19:58
Speaker 2: back down again. And every time he went up, he went,
20:00
Speaker 2: but now, now he's running from Potiphar's wife, who she's
20:05
Speaker 2: this crazy broad is chasing him around the bed and
20:09
Speaker 2: out the door and through the window and he's trying
20:11
Speaker 2: to hold on to his job because a brother like
20:13
Speaker 2: him needs a job and trying to make good. You
20:16
Speaker 2: know how when you've been down and you get a
20:18
Speaker 2: chance at good, you're holding on to good for dear
20:20
Speaker 2: life and now she done messed around and he done
20:23
Speaker 2: lost his chance at good behind something that he didn't
20:26
Speaker 2: even want her no way and She was tripping and
20:29
Speaker 2: she lied and now he's in jail through no fault
20:33
Speaker 2: of his own. And he's sitting up there just looking
20:35
Speaker 2: at his life, you know, just saying, how in the
20:39
Speaker 2: world did I get here? I thought that by this age,
20:46
Speaker 2: I would be so much further. I thought that by
20:49
Speaker 2: this age, I would be here. When I was a
20:51
Speaker 2: little kid, I did not say this is what I
20:54
Speaker 2: wanted to be. I didn't sign up to live life
20:56
Speaker 2: like this. I didn't sign up to deal with the
20:59
Speaker 2: issues I'm dealing with right now. I didn't sign up
21:02
Speaker 2: for any of this at all. I did not sign
21:06
Speaker 2: up to go through this kind of hell. This is
21:08
Speaker 2: not what I was created to be. But this is
21:12
Speaker 2: where I am. Maybe this is all I'm ever going
21:18
Speaker 2: to be. And in the midst of this painful experience
21:24
Speaker 2: down in prison, he's gifted. And if you got a gift,
21:33
Speaker 2: I don't care where people put you. If you got
21:37
Speaker 2: a gift, you just got a gift. You just got
21:42
Speaker 2: a gift. The last time I heard I'm satisfied with Jesus.
21:49
Speaker 2: It was like a 20-something-year-old girl singing it to me
21:54
Speaker 2: through a glass cage from a maximum security prison where
21:58
Speaker 2: she was waiting to be executed. And I have never
22:02
Speaker 2: heard anybody sing like Erica Shepard sang to me through
22:07
Speaker 2: the bars in my life. Most amazing voice, locked up
22:13
Speaker 2: in prison, waiting to be executed, singing like she could
22:17
Speaker 2: be a recording artist. From a prison. The prison had
22:21
Speaker 2: stripped her clothes. She had no makeup. She had no dignity.
22:24
Speaker 2: She hadn't been to the beauty shop. She had none
22:26
Speaker 2: of the things that you take for granted. And she
22:29
Speaker 2: still had a song. Isn't it funny how you could
22:33
Speaker 2: be all dressed up. And having all this makeup and
22:35
Speaker 2: all these clothes. And all these suits and stuff. And
22:37
Speaker 2: you lost your song. If the cage bird can sing.
22:44
Speaker 2: If the inmate can sing. If the elderly with arthritis
22:49
Speaker 2: and bad backs and swollen ankles can get up and
22:53
Speaker 2: dance and rejoice and run all over the church.
22:55
Speaker 1: If people can.
22:56
Speaker 2: Roll in here in wheelchairs and shake the sides of
22:59
Speaker 2: the wheelchair and praise the Lord. How can you with
23:03
Speaker 2: your healthy, blessed, strong self sit there and lose your joy?
23:09
Speaker 2: When you walked in here and drove up here and
23:12
Speaker 2: moved up here.
23:17
Speaker 3: Right when you're figuring out what the big idea is,
23:20
Speaker 3: I have to cut the message off. I'm so sorry.
23:23
Speaker 3: Take a look at these announcements and then come back
23:25
Speaker 3: and see me in just a moment.
23:28

23:46
Speaker 2: this church age has had to come to the end

Speaker 2: of things. He was there when it started. He was
23:52
Speaker 2: there when it ended. He was the stable place when

Speaker 2: everything was going crazy. When you didn't acknowledge him as

25:46
Speaker 2: Was a singer. All I think about is music. Takes
25:49
Speaker 2: a lot of faith to believe in yourself.
25:51
Speaker 3: When I got the part and they were like, Whitney's playing,
25:54
Speaker 3: you know, your mother. I fell on the floor and
25:56
Speaker 3: started crying.
25:58
Speaker 2: She fell out.
25:59
Speaker 4: I literally fell on the floor and started crying.

26:07

26:08
Speaker 3: I really come to be like their mother in a sense,
26:11
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying? I give mom hugs on the.
26:14
Speaker 4: Set, you know?
26:16
Speaker 2: And.
26:17
Speaker 4: They're just, I don't know, they're just, they.
26:20
Speaker 2: Were just perfect.
26:21
Speaker 3: My babies.
26:22
Speaker 2: I know y'all don't love each other that much.
26:24
Speaker 3: She was so kind and just, you know, the bond
26:26
Speaker 3: that we all shared and we all created together, Whitney
26:29
Speaker 3: being our mother, I think you really see that come
26:32
Speaker 3: across the screen.
26:33
Speaker 2: It was real.
26:34
Speaker 4: Like when we would say I love you to her,
26:36
Speaker 4: like we meant it.
26:37
Speaker 2: And she was very unassuming, very down to earth, very friendly,
26:42
Speaker 2: not acting like a diva at all. And it was
26:46
Speaker 2: quite mesmerizing to see how earthy she really was.
26:51
Speaker 1: She loved the cast, she loved Celine, she loved Detroit.
27:01
Speaker 3: It was really a joy.
27:04
Speaker 2: She executive produced the film and definitely brought the star
27:08
Speaker 2: power to it. We're so proud of you.
27:10
Speaker 3: This is the most fun we've ever had working on
27:14
Speaker 3: the movie together. She was in such great shape, such
27:17
Speaker 3: great space.
27:18
Speaker 2: When we think about her, I feel like she is
27:20
Speaker 2: with us right now.
27:29
Speaker 3: The truth is that sometimes trying to find God's big
27:32
Speaker 3: idea for our life can be a bit frustrating. Sometimes
27:36
Speaker 3: he doesn't exactly sit us down and let us know
27:38
Speaker 3: what we're going to face. That's where our faith comes
27:41
Speaker 3: in handy. When you have faith and trust in God,
27:45
Speaker 3: you know that no matter what his plan is, that
27:47
Speaker 3: you are going to be okay. I would have never
27:51
Speaker 3: thought that I would be in your homes right now
27:54
Speaker 3: hosting the Potter's Touch, but that's a part of God's
27:57
Speaker 3: big idea. And so here I am. Whatever you're facing,
28:01
Speaker 3: maybe it takes you out of your comfort zone. Maybe
28:04
Speaker 3: it doesn't feel like the right thing to do, but
28:06
Speaker 3: maybe it's the big idea. Don't close yourself down to
28:10
Speaker 3: those moments where God drops a whisper in your heart
28:13
Speaker 3: and tells you to live. I hope that you will
28:16
Speaker 3: continue to seek his will and his grace in all
28:19
Speaker 3: that you do. Have a great day. I'll see you
28:22
Speaker 3: next time here at the Potter's Touch.
