- 0:00Speaker 1: Coming up on The Potter's Touch.
- 0:03Speaker 2: It's not what you fuss about that's eating at you.
- 0:07Speaker 2: It's what you've given up on fussing about. It's what
- 0:12Speaker 2: you endure in silence and nobody talks about it because
- 0:18Speaker 2: you've given up on the expectation of any kind of retribution,
- 0:22Speaker 2: any kind of reciprocity, and you are in Lodabar when
- 0:27Speaker 2: you stop talking about about what you lost in the transaction.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ, our King. I'm
- 0:43Speaker 2: so excited to have the opportunity to share the word
- 0:46Speaker 2: of the Lord with you, to be a part of
- 0:47Speaker 2: your life and to present the gospel of Jesus Christ
- 0:50Speaker 2: in what I hope will be compelling and provocative ways.
- 0:54Speaker 2: Have you ever felt shortchanged, felt like you invested more
- 0:57Speaker 2: than you're getting back? You pour into people and pour
- 1:00Speaker 2: into people and you don't get the reaction, the response
- 1:03Speaker 2: that you need. Or you gave yourself to a project
- 1:05Speaker 2: or you gave yourself to a job or you gave
- 1:08Speaker 2: yourself to a church, a ministry, a choir, and you
- 1:10Speaker 2: just say, Lord, I'm not complaining, but what I see
- 1:13Speaker 2: back is not commensurate with what I invested. This message
- 1:17Speaker 2: is called shortchanged. I've been there. I know that feeling
- 1:20Speaker 2: and I believe that it will speak to your life
- 1:22Speaker 2: in a powerful way. Take a look at this and
- 1:25Speaker 2: be blessed. Okay, you don't mind? If I exchange this
- 1:29Speaker 2: with you, it's $ 100. It's $ 100 right here. And I'm
- 1:34Speaker 2: going to give it back to you in 20s. And
- 1:37Speaker 2: you understand this better by and by, okay? And this
- 1:40Speaker 2: is 20, and that's 40, and that's 60. Thank you.
- 1:51Speaker 2: I'm short? Okay. Okay. You trust me? You gave me
- 2:00Speaker 2: $ 100 and what did I give you there? I gave
- 2:03Speaker 2: you $ 60. But you trust me because you know I'm
- 2:07Speaker 2: up to something, don't you? Okay, you stick around for
- 2:10Speaker 2: a minute and I'm going to explain in a minute, okay?
- 2:12Speaker 2: You see how she don't want to go? But you
- 2:19Speaker 2: trust me. Don't go far, okay? She gave me $ 100.
- 2:27Speaker 2: And I gave her back three 20s. And she stood there.
- 2:32Speaker 2: She trusts me, but. She loved me and everything like that.
- 2:39Speaker 2: But the problem the lady is having with the transaction
- 2:46Speaker 2: is that she has been shortchanged. And that's my subject
- 2:53Speaker 2: this morning. You always feel shortchanged when you have invested
- 3:06Speaker 2: more than what you got back. And the problem with
- 3:16Speaker 2: so many of us today, we're smiling and we're all
- 3:20Speaker 2: dressed up and we're smelling good and we got our
- 3:22Speaker 2: clothes on straight and our socks are matching. but we're
- 3:27Speaker 2: living with the feeling of being shortchanged. When you invest
- 3:34Speaker 2: more than you get back, when you sow more than
- 3:37Speaker 2: you reap, when you've been better to people than they've
- 3:39Speaker 2: been back to you, when you've been faithful to people
- 3:43Speaker 2: that haven't been faithful to you, when you serve people
- 3:45Speaker 2: that won't serve you, when you've poured into children and
- 3:48Speaker 2: they don't pour back into you, when you've been a
- 3:50Speaker 2: good son or daughter and you don't see a good
- 3:52Speaker 2: mom or dad, whenever you put in 100, and you
- 3:57Speaker 2: get back 60, I don't care how you smile and
- 4:01Speaker 2: politely walk away. As she walked away, she was cognizant
- 4:05Speaker 2: of the fact that the transaction has occurred, but I
- 4:09Speaker 2: have been short-changed. And it's not just relationships and interactions
- 4:17Speaker 2: with other people. It is also feeling like other people
- 4:21Speaker 2: got something you didn't get. that you've been shortchanged, that
- 4:27Speaker 2: if you'd have had more support, you'd have went to school.
- 4:30Speaker 2: If you'd have had more support, you'd have got your degree.
- 4:32Speaker 2: If you hadn't had this to happen to you, that
- 4:34Speaker 2: happened to you, if the car wreck hadn't happened, if
- 4:36Speaker 2: Grandma hadn't died, if Mama Susie was alive, if Daddy
- 4:40Speaker 2: would have stayed with Mama, I would have gone further,
- 4:43Speaker 2: and I'm living with 60 when I should have got 100.
- 4:48Speaker 2: I've been shortchanged. When you live in a house as
- 4:56Speaker 2: a married couple and you look across the street at
- 4:59Speaker 2: the other couple sitting and laughing and talking and smiling
- 5:03Speaker 2: and you and her can't think of nothing to say.
- 5:08Speaker 2: you feel shortchanged. When it looks like other people are
- 5:12Speaker 2: having more life or having more love or having more
- 5:15Speaker 2: sex or having more money and you're just dealing with
- 5:19Speaker 2: the 60 when you expected 100, you might smile, dance, shout.
- 5:24Speaker 2: I don't care if you look at me with your
- 5:25Speaker 2: holy self. I'm going to bring it down to where
- 5:27Speaker 2: it's real. You might dance, skip and shout, but in
- 5:30Speaker 2: the back of your mind, you are living your life
- 5:33Speaker 2: exactly like that woman who walked away feeling like, You know,
- 5:37Speaker 2: I love Bishop, but I got good sense. 320s don't
- 5:42Speaker 2: make 100. Has life.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Handed you 320s?
- 5:44Speaker 2: And you know you put in 100?
- 5:46Speaker 1: What?
- 5:54Speaker 2: You're looking at a situation, you're short-chain. You're 40 years
- 5:58Speaker 2: old and you're still single. You're 50 years old and
- 6:01Speaker 2: you're still single. You're 60 years old and you got
- 6:04Speaker 2: to go out. You got to kill the pig, make
- 6:06Speaker 2: the bacon, bring the bacon home, open up the door,
- 6:10Speaker 2: unpack the grocery, take out the trash, fry the bacon up,
- 6:13Speaker 2: clean up everything. And you say it was cute at first,
- 6:17Speaker 2: but now I'm getting older and I'm tired of this.
- 6:21Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, Willie, who wasn't cute, he's
- 6:23Speaker 2: looking better now because you've been shortchanged. See, when you
- 6:41Speaker 2: look at it, when you add it all up, all
- 6:43Speaker 2: of us have some area in our life of inequity.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Poor return on a full investment. Areas where if we'd
- 6:55Speaker 2: only got more support, if we would have only been
- 6:58Speaker 2: able to get something to eat before we went to
- 7:00Speaker 2: school in the morning, we'd have done better in school.
- 7:02Speaker 2: If mom and daddy hadn't been fighting all over the house,
- 7:05Speaker 2: if mama hadn't had all them strange uncles coming in
- 7:07Speaker 2: and out of my house, maybe I would have went
- 7:09Speaker 2: to college. I didn't have the support that they had.
- 7:12Speaker 2: I know. And all of a sudden, you're dealing with
- 7:21Speaker 2: what she's dealing with. You're dealing with what's left. But
- 7:27Speaker 2: you're not dealing with what's right. She walked away with
- 7:32Speaker 2: what was left. But it wasn't right. It wasn't right.
- 7:38Speaker 2: And when things are not right, it's frustrating when you
- 7:42Speaker 2: have given more than you got back. You have been shortchanged.
- 7:51Speaker 2: There are three men in the text that I want
- 7:54Speaker 2: to talk about this morning. Each one in his own
- 7:57Speaker 2: way has been shortchanged. When you really understand that there
- 8:08Speaker 2: is a story here where David has come into a
- 8:13Speaker 2: palace that by all rights... Shouldn't have been his. His
- 8:20Speaker 2: predecessor as king is Saul. And Saul has a son
- 8:26Speaker 2: named Jonathan. And if anybody should have been a successor
- 8:30Speaker 2: to Saul, it should have been Jonathan. But Jonathan and
- 8:35Speaker 2: Saul are dead and David becomes the king of Israel.
- 8:40Speaker 2: And he's living in a palace that he wasn't pointed to.
- 8:45Speaker 2: And he's sitting in a seat That he wasn't groomed for.
- 8:49Speaker 2: And he's got a power. That he's never seen before.
- 8:53Speaker 2: And he's on the inside. And the kin folks are
- 8:57Speaker 2: on the outside. And David is walking around in his palace.
- 9:02Speaker 2: Saying is there anyone left. Of the house of Jonathan.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Now Jonathan who is the son of the king. Was
- 9:09Speaker 2: David's best friend. But Jonathan is dead. And. And. And.
- 9:15Speaker 2: And the problem is Jonathan is dead and David's love
- 9:19Speaker 2: toward Jonathan is not. Because love doesn't die. And it
- 9:27Speaker 2: doesn't bury with the grave. So David is saying, I
- 9:33Speaker 2: need somebody to love. And I need somebody to pour.
- 9:38Speaker 2: Is there any of Jonathan's kids left? That are not killed,
- 9:43Speaker 2: that are not destroyed, that are not gone. If anybody
- 9:46Speaker 2: left at all, they said, no, they're all gone. Except
- 9:48Speaker 2: he did have a son named Mephibosheth. But Mephibosheth is
- 9:56Speaker 2: in Lodabar. Mephibosheth is in Lodabar. And Lodabar means the
- 10:02Speaker 2: place of no communication. And it is a place of
- 10:06Speaker 2: no pastures. Nothing grows green there. Not even communication. And
- 10:14Speaker 2: Mephibosheth is down there. And he's laying not in one foot.
- 10:19Speaker 2: He's lame in both of his feet. He would have
- 10:21Speaker 2: been king. But somebody dropped him and he got shortchanged.
- 10:30Speaker 2: So the person who was designated to be heir to
- 10:33Speaker 2: the throne and had every right to inherit his grandfather's
- 10:37Speaker 2: kingdom is sitting in a place that won't even grow grass.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Lodabar down there in Lodabar where there is No communication.
- 10:49Speaker 2: And the funny thing about being shortchanged is sooner or later,
- 10:53Speaker 2: shortchange will shut up. Sooner or later, you'll stop complaining
- 10:59Speaker 2: about it.
- 11:00Speaker 3: Sooner or later, you'll.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Stop crying about it. Sooner or later, short chains will
- 11:05Speaker 2: always end up in Lodabar because Lodabar is a place
- 11:08Speaker 2: of no communication and it is the silent frustration that
- 11:13Speaker 2: eats at the fiber of your soul. It's not what
- 11:16Speaker 2: you fuss about that's eating at you. It's what you've
- 11:20Speaker 2: given up on fussing about. It's what you endure in
- 11:26Speaker 2: silence and nobody talks about it because you've given up
- 11:30Speaker 2: on the expectation of any kind of retribution, any kind
- 11:35Speaker 2: of reciprocity. And you are in Lodabar when you stop
- 11:40Speaker 2: talking about what you lost in the transaction. And you decide,
- 11:48Speaker 2: I've got to make the best of a bad situation.
- 11:52Speaker 2: And they are all living in Lodabar. What we are
- 11:58Speaker 2: looking at in the text is a culture of being
- 12:03Speaker 2: cut short. Look around your life if you've been shortchanged.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Check out your environment. And I bet you, you're not
- 12:13Speaker 2: the only one in your story that was short-changed. I
- 12:17Speaker 2: bet you if you're a short-changed daughter, I bet you
- 12:20Speaker 2: somewhere there's a short-changed mama. I bet you if you're
- 12:23Speaker 2: a short-changed son, if you could find your daddy, you
- 12:27Speaker 2: would find out he was short-changed too. And so Lone
- 12:33Speaker 2: Amar epitomizes a culture and an environment of cut short.
- 12:40Speaker 2: And you see, she was cut short. She was short-chained,
- 12:45Speaker 2: but she survived. She was short-chained, but she made it
- 12:49Speaker 2: back to her seat. She was short-chained, but she learned
- 12:52Speaker 2: how to deal with it. She was short-chained, but she
- 12:56Speaker 2: carried her own cross. Somewhere in the back of her mind,
- 13:00Speaker 2: I don't care how much I preach or teach, somewhere
- 13:03Speaker 2: in the back of her mind is you owe me.
- 13:09Speaker 3: And I don't care how strong.
- 13:11Speaker 2: We are and how well we learn how to ride
- 13:14Speaker 2: the bubble. Somewhere in the back of your mind, you
- 13:19Speaker 2: owe me.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Still to come on The Potter's Touch.
- 13:24Speaker 2: The Lord said that he has you on his mind.
- 13:29Speaker 2: The Lord says that he has not forgotten what you
- 13:33Speaker 2: didn't get. And the Lord said you're going to come
- 13:36Speaker 2: into a season... of restoration. And the Lord said, I
- 13:43Speaker 2: will restore unto you the years that the canker worm
- 13:48Speaker 2: and the palmer worm and the locust ate up. God said,
- 13:52Speaker 2: I'm going to give you double.

- 14:28Speaker 2: Is there anybody in here? that will break the silence
- 14:33Speaker 2: and say, I made it, but I've been shortchanged. I
- 14:45Speaker 2: made it. I made it. I made it. but I've
- 14:50Speaker 2: been shortchanged. Tell somebody, say, I made it, but I've
- 14:53Speaker 2: been shortchanged. Tell somebody else, I made it, but I've
- 14:56Speaker 2: been shortchanged. I made it, but I've been shortchanged. I
- 14:59Speaker 2: survived it, but I've been shortchanged. I thought I'd make
- 15:02Speaker 2: it with a husband. I thought I'd have a wife.
- 15:05Speaker 2: I thought my kids would take care of me. I
- 15:07Speaker 2: thought my mama would stop sleeping around. I thought my
- 15:10Speaker 2: daddy would pay the bill. I made it! But I... Alas,
- 15:21Speaker 2: I have been shortchanged. But the Lord told me to
- 15:25Speaker 2: tell you something. Yes, I know. The Lord said that
- 15:33Speaker 2: he has you on his mind. The Lord says that
- 15:39Speaker 2: he has not forgotten what you didn't get. And the
- 15:44Speaker 2: Lord said you're going to come into a season of restoration.
- 15:49Speaker 2: And the Lord said, I will restore unto you the
- 15:54Speaker 2: years that the caker worm and the palmer worm and
- 15:58Speaker 2: the locust ate up. God said, I'm going to give
- 16:02Speaker 2: you double. Somebody take a moment. Somebody who's been shortchanged.
- 16:10Speaker 2: Somebody who don't say nothing about it.
- 16:13Speaker 3: And give God a.
- 16:25Speaker 3: Tell your neighbor, this is a short change phrase.
- 16:29Speaker 2: If you ain't been short changed, you ain't got no
- 16:32Speaker 2: business praising him. But if you've been through what I've
- 16:35Speaker 2: been through, I got 10 seconds left to give God
- 16:40Speaker 2: a praise. I want you to touch 10 people and
- 17:02Speaker 2: tell them, get out of Lodabar, get out of Lodabar.
- 17:05Speaker 2: You got to come out of Lodabah. You got to
- 17:07Speaker 2: come out of Lodabah. You got to come out of Lodabah.
- 17:10Speaker 2: You got to get out of Lodabah. You got to
- 17:13Speaker 2: open your mouth. You got to start growing something. You
- 17:17Speaker 2: got to start planning something. You got to start saying something.
- 17:21Speaker 2: You got to start growing something. You got to start
- 17:25Speaker 2: doing something. You can't stay in Lodabah. Enough is enough.
- 17:33Speaker 2: My God, I feel a praise in this place. The reason,
- 17:41Speaker 2: one of the reasons that God blessed me so much
- 17:44Speaker 2: on the back end is how I suffered. Oh, y'all
- 17:56Speaker 2: don't hear what I'm saying. The reason God blessed me
- 18:02Speaker 2: On the back end of my life is how I
- 18:04Speaker 2: had to crawl through on the front end of my life.
- 18:08Speaker 2: And the Lord said, if you don't tell them your story,
- 18:12Speaker 2: they won't understand their story. He said, tell my children,
- 18:17Speaker 2: I'll make.
- 18:18Speaker 3: It up to you.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Tell your neighbor it's makeup time. It's makeup time. It's
- 18:26Speaker 2: makeup time. Grab your pocketbook. Get your suitcase. Get your
- 18:31Speaker 2: hat and coat. We're coming out of Lodabar. We're coming
- 18:35Speaker 2: out and we got to crawl out. We're coming out
- 18:37Speaker 2: and we got to be drug out. We're coming out
- 18:40Speaker 2: and we got to be carried out. So watch this.
- 18:47Speaker 2: So watch this. God put Mephibosheth on David's mind And
- 18:57Speaker 2: God said he's going to put you on somebody's mind
- 19:04Speaker 2: who is in a position to restore what you lost.
- 19:12Speaker 2: So David told Ziba to go down there and get Mephibosheth.
- 19:19Speaker 2: And their maker was down there taking care of Mephibosheth,
- 19:24Speaker 2: working at a deficit. But when Ziba came down to
- 19:27Speaker 2: get Mephibosheth, it relieved Maker of his responsibility. And God said,
- 19:33Speaker 2: somebody that's been taking care of yourself and somebody else.
- 19:38Speaker 2: The Lord said, it's almost over now. He's about to
- 19:42Speaker 2: lift the burden. So Ziba comes down the maker and said, Barter,
- 19:51Speaker 2: you made a bad deal. You had to carry your
- 19:54Speaker 2: burden and Mephibosheth's too, but it's going to turn around today.
- 20:00Speaker 2: And he turned the whole thing around. If you got
- 20:05Speaker 2: real faith, tell your neighbors it's going to turn around today.
- 20:15Speaker 2: And so when God got ready to turn it around,
- 20:21Speaker 2: he sent Ziba down to Maker to get Mephibosheth. And
- 20:26Speaker 2: all of a sudden, wait a minute, let me finish
- 20:29Speaker 2: this up because I got some unfinished business with you.
- 20:34Speaker 2: I think, let me think, you gave me 100 and
- 20:39Speaker 2: I gave you 60. And if I understand my mathematic
- 20:45Speaker 2: equations correctly, that means I owe you 40. There ought
- 20:50Speaker 2: to be two more 20s. But because of how you
- 20:55Speaker 2: weighed it, And because of how you suffered. And because
- 20:59Speaker 2: of how you held your peace. And because you didn't
- 21:02Speaker 2: say nothing. And because you praised God anyway. And because
- 21:06Speaker 2: you clapped your hands anyway. And because you brought the
- 21:09Speaker 2: money up here in the first place. God said, I'm
- 21:12Speaker 2: going to pour you out a blessing.
- 21:15Speaker 3: You won't have room.
- 21:17Speaker 2: Enough. Well, watch this. When he came to get Mephibosheth out,
- 21:34Speaker 2: the problem was Mephibosheth's time of deliverance had come, but
- 21:41Speaker 2: he couldn't walk. So the Bible says that Ziba carried
- 21:50Speaker 2: Mephibosheth out. And the Lord said, he's going to get
- 21:54Speaker 2: you out. Ouch. if he's got to use somebody else's strength,
- 21:58Speaker 2: if he's got to use somebody else's power to draw
- 22:02Speaker 2: you out of your circumstance and out of your situation,
- 22:06Speaker 2: when God gets ready to bring him out, he carries
- 22:10Speaker 2: Mephibosheth out of Lodabar and brings him into the palace
- 22:15Speaker 2: of the king and lays him on the floor. Can
- 22:20Speaker 2: you imagine how Mephibosheth felt to finally get in the
- 22:26Speaker 2: palace that should have been his in the first place.
- 22:31Speaker 2: But because of a detour and because of a short change,
- 22:36Speaker 2: it was a long time coming, but he finally got there.
- 22:41Speaker 2: I came to tell somebody it may be a long
- 22:45Speaker 2: time coming, but if you hold out, you're going to
- 22:48Speaker 2: get there. Flop your neighbor and say, I'm almost there.
- 22:53Speaker 2: almost there bring me one of those chairs and set
- 23:04Speaker 2: it right there come on Mimi you've been down long
- 23:14Speaker 2: enough you've cried long enough you've suffered long enough You've
- 23:22Speaker 2: held your peace long enough. You've endured hardness long enough.
- 23:27Speaker 2: God said, I'm going to bring you out of Lodabar.
- 23:31Speaker 2: I'm going to set you in a place that the
- 23:34Speaker 2: devil said you would never have. I'm going to raise
- 23:38Speaker 2: you above your circumstance. I'm going to lift you above
- 23:41Speaker 2: your situation. And the Lord said, even when you were
- 23:46Speaker 2: in Lodabar, I had this seat. waiting on you.
- 23:52Speaker 3: And when you take.
- 23:53Speaker 2: This seat, God said, I'm going to open up the windows.
- 23:58Speaker 3: Of heaven.
- 24:02Speaker 2: And pour you out a blessing. You won't have room
- 24:06Speaker 2: enough to receive. Tell your neighbor, sit in your blessing.
- 24:21Speaker 2: Sit in it. Walk in it.
- 24:24Speaker 3: Shout in it.
- 24:26Speaker 2: Dance in it. Live in it. Don't let anybody make
- 24:29Speaker 2: you feel bad about it. Don't let your haters hate
- 24:33Speaker 2: you out of it. Don't let the gossipers talk you
- 24:36Speaker 2: out of it. Don't let the liars lie you out
- 24:38Speaker 2: of it. Nobody knows what you've been through. So get

- 24:59Speaker 2: Slam somebody and tell them it's my time now. If
- 25:10Speaker 2: you change your life but never change your heart, you
- 25:13Speaker 2: will always be shortchanged. It's very, very important that you
- 25:17Speaker 2: understand that this message is something that lives in the
- 25:20Speaker 2: hearts of many people, which gradually breaks down your joy,
- 25:23Speaker 2: takes your peace, and makes you bitter inside, quite frankly,
- 25:27Speaker 2: if you don't get a resolution about it. It can
- 25:29Speaker 2: ruin a marriage, a ministry, or a career. It doesn't
- 25:31Speaker 2: matter what it is. Anytime there's more going out than
- 25:34Speaker 2: there is coming in, there's a depletion. There's a deficit
- 25:37Speaker 2: going on that you don't have to live with. I
- 25:40Speaker 2: pray this message will bless your heart and bless your
- 25:42Speaker 2: life and that you would know that we here at
