0:01
Speaker 1: This ordinariness doesn't become you. And I had to say
0:04
Speaker 1: something today. It is beneath you and what you were
0:07
Speaker 1: created to be. Your answers, your power is in your dreams.
0:20
Speaker 2: This is the power of touch.
0:24
Speaker 1: Greetings, brothers and sisters, in the name of the Lord.
0:27
Speaker 1: One of my favorite messages, one of my greatest teachings,
0:31
Speaker 1: I believe, is repositioning yourself. So many people get stuck
0:35
Speaker 1: in one stage and they think that all they can
0:37
Speaker 1: ever be is all that they ever were. Well, we
0:41
Speaker 1: are in the business of redemption and restoration and renewal.
0:45
Speaker 1: You know what all of those words have in common?
0:47
Speaker 1: The re- prefix in front of it. You can reposition yourself.
0:52
Speaker 1: You can rise from the ashes of disparity You can
0:55
Speaker 1: recreate your career. You can change your credit report. You
0:59
Speaker 1: can change your relationship. You can change what you don't lack.
1:03
Speaker 1: Reposition yourself. It's a tool you need to reposture yourself
1:08
Speaker 1: so that you can have a positive end.
1:10
Speaker 3: Now get this material. Get it in your heart.
1:13
Speaker 1: Get it in your head. And get ready to go
1:15
Speaker 1: in your phone booth and come out Superman as you
1:19
Speaker 1: reposition yourself. The Bible says that love is stronger than death.
1:29
Speaker 1: And if it's stronger than death, it's also stronger than debt.
1:32
Speaker 1: It's stronger than divorce. It's stronger than depression or any
1:36
Speaker 1: other obstacle that.
1:37
Speaker 3: Sets us back.
1:38
Speaker 1: You can just find somebody who loves you enough to
1:46
Speaker 1: tell you the truth. For the purpose of this intervention,
1:52
Speaker 1: we will not be using the normal group of tearful-eyed,
1:55
Speaker 1: emotionally charged individuals whose loving relationships have been bruised by
2:00
Speaker 1: this destructive cycle in the life of the proposed individual. No, no,
2:05
Speaker 1: that's too traditional for me. Instead, let's imagine, just imagine
2:13
Speaker 1: that the individual is you. You're likely not on drugs
2:18
Speaker 1: per se or not being overtly destructive but subversively. They're
2:23
Speaker 1: the perpetual erosion that has jeopardized and limited the growth
2:27
Speaker 1: of a wholesome, abundant life for you. So today, you
2:33
Speaker 1: and I are staging an intervention to get you out
2:37
Speaker 1: of the rut. What rut, you ask? Who are the
2:42
Speaker 1: individuals that are confronting me and about what? I can
2:44
Speaker 1: almost hear you. your indignation, but before you reach for
2:47
Speaker 1: that bulging multi-caliber pistol in your shorts and blow me away,
2:51
Speaker 1: turning my office into a blazing inferno, please follow me
2:56
Speaker 1: down this path and let's see what is about to happen.
3:02
Speaker 3: Who is joining us?
3:05
Speaker 1: We can certainly have maybe your spouse or your partner
3:08
Speaker 1: testify on the reality they have witnessed and the consequences
3:13
Speaker 1: they have experienced. because of your reliance on apathy, because
3:18
Speaker 1: of your indifference, your sleep. Maybe your kids could speak
3:20
Speaker 1: up as well, perhaps a best friend or sibling, your parents, co-worker, pastor.
3:27
Speaker 1: When you're apathetical, your apathy has affected each of them,
3:30
Speaker 1: dulling the edges of your talent and ambition and withholding
3:34
Speaker 1: the best parts of yourself from them. Just listen at
3:37
Speaker 1: me today. However there is love, Another group of eyewitnesses
3:42
Speaker 1: that I want to speak to you right here and
3:45
Speaker 1: right now about what they see you doing in your
3:48
Speaker 1: present condition and with your life. And I believe you
3:52
Speaker 1: will recognize each of them and find what they have
3:54
Speaker 1: to say bearing some measure of truth about where you
3:57
Speaker 1: are in your life right now. And I'll let them speak.
4:03
Speaker 1: I'll let them speak for themselves. Are you ready for this?
4:10
Speaker 1: I need your imagination. How many of you have imagination?
4:14
Speaker 1: Hold your hand up if you got real good imagination. Okay,
4:17
Speaker 1: you're going to need it this morning.
4:18
Speaker 3: Watch this.
4:20
Speaker 1: Imagine you just got home from work, tired and ready
4:23
Speaker 1: to relax, and then unexpectedly as you walk in the house,
4:26
Speaker 1: you find they're sitting around the table, all the folks
4:30
Speaker 1: who normally are in your life supposedly supporting you. But
4:34
Speaker 1: as we're about to see, silently enabling you is probably
4:37
Speaker 1: more accurate, but But no more. Today they're confronting you.
4:41
Speaker 1: They're really not talking about you. They're talking to you.
4:43
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, this is an intervention to get
4:46
Speaker 1: your life out of the dismal realm of ordinary and
4:50
Speaker 1: into the spectacular realm of extraordinary possibility thinking. Are you ready?
5:01
Speaker 1: Let's meet all of your friends around the table who
5:03
Speaker 1: cared enough to come to this, your coming out party.
5:10
Speaker 1: The first one is Dee, the distant dreamer. Beads of
5:17
Speaker 1: unfamed perspiration appear on the forehead of Dee as she
5:20
Speaker 1: opens her mouth to speak.
5:22
Speaker 3: You know Dee.
5:24
Speaker 1: She's a dreamer who always stayed near you in the
5:27
Speaker 1: early years. She is like the voice in your car's
5:30
Speaker 1: navigational system. She used to be the one who navigated
5:33
Speaker 1: your decisions. Lately, she's been lonely and quiet, silently as
5:36
Speaker 1: you make wrong turn after wrong turn, delaying your arrivals
5:41
Speaker 1: and hindering your progress.
5:42
Speaker 3: You know Dee.
5:45
Speaker 1: But now with a certain nervous edge, hating that she's
5:48
Speaker 1: been selected to be the icebreaker with a parched throat
5:52
Speaker 1: and a crack in her voice, she begins to process.
5:55
Speaker 1: Dee Dreamer says, it's been so painful to watch you
6:00
Speaker 1: settle down. For less and less in your life. Working
6:04
Speaker 1: a job beneath your talents and capabilities. Accepting the roles
6:09
Speaker 1: that others assign to you. Giving up creative pursuits that
6:12
Speaker 1: once fueled your ambition. You see, I'm the part of
6:16
Speaker 1: you that longs to be all that you were created
6:19
Speaker 1: to be. The dreamer inside of you who loves to
6:23
Speaker 1: look ahead and aim for the top. I remember so
6:27
Speaker 1: many big plans we had back in the beginning. We
6:31
Speaker 1: knew there would be obstacles, but we were young and
6:34
Speaker 1: set our eyes on the stars. We were going to
6:37
Speaker 1: go beyond what you had growing up to have a fuller, richer,
6:40
Speaker 1: more liberating experience.
6:42
Speaker 3: You had so much.
6:44
Speaker 1: Imagination and such a vision for where you were going
6:47
Speaker 1: and how you were going to get there. You could
6:49
Speaker 1: see yourself in your mind's eye growing, reaching, and attaining
6:52
Speaker 1: a life of satisfaction, contentment, and just joy. It's obvious
7:00
Speaker 1: to the others waiting to speak that your walls of
7:02
Speaker 1: defense are as high and formidable as the walls of Jericho.
7:07
Speaker 1: Dino's in too. But with the strength that only comes
7:11
Speaker 1: when we finally share the truth, she is gaining force
7:14
Speaker 1: as she releases her concerns.
7:15
Speaker 3: She now realizes.
7:17
Speaker 1: That she would have said this to you years ago
7:19
Speaker 1: instead of silently letting things go this far.
7:22
Speaker 3: Of course, should have said it a long time ago.
7:27
Speaker 3: She says, do you know how hard it has been
7:29
Speaker 3: for me I mean, I love you. And to watch
7:34
Speaker 3: your life get.
7:34
Speaker 1: Harder and your ability to see the pinnacle that was
7:38
Speaker 1: once your destination and motivation seemed to disappear into the
7:42
Speaker 1: daily fog of working and living and then working some
7:47
Speaker 1: more and looking you in the eye for the first time.
7:53
Speaker 1: Dreams continue to speak to you. I watched as your
7:58
Speaker 1: circumstance got tighter and choked the wind out of your lungs.
8:02
Speaker 1: Disappointment set in, followed by losses and reality that threatened
8:07
Speaker 1: your hopes forever, experiencing a different, better life, a life
8:12
Speaker 1: that would allow you to be who you really are
8:14
Speaker 1: and live out your God-given purpose. Those around you did
8:17
Speaker 1: not encourage you the way you needed to be nurtured
8:20
Speaker 1: and supported.
8:22
Speaker 3: I tried to come around you, but Push me away.
8:28
Speaker 1: Becoming more and more distant and detached from my reminders.
8:34
Speaker 3: Instead of fighting to keep the fire.
8:36
Speaker 1: Inside you alive, you let the embers die by becoming
8:40
Speaker 1: addicted to a life without me, without dreams, without hope,
8:45
Speaker 1: almost venting. She continued, after all I did for you,
8:50
Speaker 1: I bought you through the hard times. Don't you remember?
8:55
Speaker 1: I was there for you when life was bad. Did
8:59
Speaker 1: you forget all of that? You locked me up in
9:02
Speaker 1: the cellar of your soul and placed me on a
9:06
Speaker 1: starvation diet and all I hear from you is complaints
9:09
Speaker 1: about who wasn't there for you and who didn't treat
9:13
Speaker 1: you right.
9:15
Speaker 3: But I was there, D the Dreamer blurted out. I
9:19
Speaker 3: was there or I would have been. If you would
9:26
Speaker 3: have let me be.
9:28
Speaker 1: Over time I watch you become cynical and negative, subtly
9:31
Speaker 1: bitter and internally angry. Looking for targets to blame. Your parents,
9:35
Speaker 1: your lack of opportunities, your family. People don't know it
9:39
Speaker 1: because you are masterfully covering up your true feelings.
9:42
Speaker 3: But I know. I know how you feel.
9:45
Speaker 1: I live inside of you screaming and trying to get
9:48
Speaker 1: out and speak. I know this is not the life
9:52
Speaker 1: we dreamed up for you when you were younger. This
9:54
Speaker 1: is not the love you wanted and the house and
9:57
Speaker 1: the career you wanted. I know better than anything. sitting
10:00
Speaker 1: at this table how you dreamed of more than this.
10:04
Speaker 1: You were meant to be a high achiever. My God,
10:09
Speaker 1: you're a baller, shot caller. You have gifts you aren't
10:12
Speaker 1: even touching, much less using. This ordinariness doesn't become you.
10:18
Speaker 1: And I had to say something today. It is beneath
10:21
Speaker 1: you and what you were created to be.
10:25
Speaker 3: Your answers, your power is in your dreams.
10:35
Speaker 1: Reaching out to you with a warm hand and now
10:38
Speaker 1: wet face D gently touches your shoulder and says, says,
10:43
Speaker 1: I need you. No. No. We all need you. The
10:49
Speaker 1: other sitting at the table give a warm nod. There's
10:51
Speaker 1: a sound of a few quiet sniffles. Dee the dreamer
10:54
Speaker 1: finishes her appeal with this final word. Instead of being
10:58
Speaker 1: fully alive to the possibilities of the future, the pursuit
11:02
Speaker 1: of the dreams that God has planted like seeds in
11:05
Speaker 1: your heart, you resign yourself to an existence without dreams,
11:13
Speaker 1: a desert place, parched indifference where nothing, nothing can grow.
11:23
Speaker 1: You can't go on this way.
11:27
Speaker 3: It's killing you.
11:28
Speaker 1: I can't keep silent anymore and beg you, I beg
11:31
Speaker 1: you to renew our relationship, to fight for the dreams
11:36
Speaker 1: that once seemed to be such.
11:37
Speaker 3: A vital part of your life. Don't give up. Don't
11:41
Speaker 3: give up hope.
11:42
Speaker 1: Throw off the limits that life and other people and
11:46
Speaker 1: even organized religion and so many other forces may have
11:48
Speaker 1: placed on you. Ah, like a butterfly emerging from her cocoon,
11:55
Speaker 1: you must discard the useless husk that you continue to
11:58
Speaker 1: cling around your dreams like a winter coat.
12:02
Speaker 3: I know it is not too late.
12:04
Speaker 1: You can use all that you have been through as
12:07
Speaker 1: wind beneath your wings.
12:09
Speaker 3: Come on, come on, come on. it's time to fly
12:20
Speaker 3: it's time.
12:23
Speaker 2: To fly still to come on the potter's touch it.
12:27
Speaker 1: Is that you layered your costume the one you wear
12:31
Speaker 1: to protect your heart that costume has imprisoned you take
12:36
Speaker 1: off those silly masks and just.
12:37
Speaker 4: Be yourself just just be yourself Just be yourself.
12:48
Speaker 1: I am so excited that my dear friends, Bishop T.D.
12:50
Speaker 1: Jakes and Oprah Winfrey will be together at Megafest. August 29th.
12:55
Speaker 3: Y'all don't want to miss this. The biggest family-friendly festival

Speaker 1: And more.
13:12
Speaker 4: Register at mega-fest.com or call 1-800-BISHOP-2 today.
13:21
Speaker 1: Each person looks around the room seeing who would be
13:24
Speaker 1: next to speak. El Lover spoke up and said, I
13:28
Speaker 1: want to tell you something. El Lover had been the loving, optimistic,
13:33
Speaker 1: romantic part of you. Check this out. The giver. You
13:38
Speaker 1: know as well as I do, love gives and lust takes.
13:45
Speaker 1: You have replaced love with lust and you take but
13:48
Speaker 1: you stop giving lately because Lately, my attempts to engage
13:52
Speaker 1: your heart have been dwarfed by regret and sabotaged by
13:56
Speaker 1: bad memories. These memories are what you use to justify being, listen,
14:02
Speaker 1: emotionally detached.
14:06
Speaker 3: And lustfully selfish.
14:08
Speaker 1: The only reason I agreed to speak today is that
14:10
Speaker 1: I want to be actively engaged with you again. I
14:13
Speaker 1: want to be connected with you again. Everybody at the table,
14:16
Speaker 1: listen as he spoke. You take in these words that
14:21
Speaker 1: reflect the true substratum of the issues they all have
14:25
Speaker 1: had with you. They all knew that true love has
14:29
Speaker 1: been on a respirator in your life for a while.
14:35
Speaker 1: They know you were faking the feelings that used to
14:37
Speaker 1: be genuine. Our lover clears his throat and now bursts
14:43
Speaker 1: the pregnant pause and speaks to the issues that are
14:46
Speaker 1: on his heart. Our relationship with each other has become
14:52
Speaker 1: so strained. I don't even know where to begin. Whether
14:57
Speaker 1: you think of me as your heart or desire or love.
15:05
Speaker 1: I'm the part of you that longs to love and
15:08
Speaker 1: be loved. And to be in a healthy, dynamic relationship
15:12
Speaker 1: with another caring person like our friend D, the dreamer.
15:16
Speaker 1: We started out strong and were inseparable.
15:20
Speaker 3: And an inseparable couple.
15:22
Speaker 1: We shared the fairytale dreams of finding that special someone
15:26
Speaker 1: who would see us as we really are and love
15:28
Speaker 1: us unconditionally. And we thought we had that, we thought
15:34
Speaker 1: we'd found that special someone that soul made a time
15:38
Speaker 1: or two, didn't we? I stayed with you throughout those
15:45
Speaker 1: first few tender moments sweet and painful relationships when we
15:53
Speaker 1: thought we were in love. And maybe we were. But
15:58
Speaker 1: for various reasons, the relationship didn't work and you were
16:02
Speaker 1: alone again. Anybody know what I'm talking about? Then over time,
16:08
Speaker 1: you pushed me further and further away as you've gotten
16:13
Speaker 1: older and continued to struggle in your search or your
16:17
Speaker 1: Watched a one special relationship stagnate.
16:20
Speaker 3: I've grown tired.
16:22
Speaker 1: And instead of seeing what you're really worth, you start
16:28
Speaker 1: selling yourself off for so much less than you're worth.
16:34
Speaker 1: Low self-esteem seems to push you away from me and
16:38
Speaker 1: what I could have fixed myself. You seem determined to hide.
16:42
Speaker 1: Lust for power and for money and even for sex
16:45
Speaker 1: has taken away any reality of passion. It wasn't always
16:49
Speaker 1: about who had the best job or who could get
16:52
Speaker 1: you where you were trying to go. You used to
16:55
Speaker 1: be really there, really there in the moment, present in
16:59
Speaker 1: the conversation. You were open and warm and giving and sincere.
17:07
Speaker 3: Look at you now.
17:10
Speaker 1: I see you faking your interests, distracted by what you need.
17:14
Speaker 1: You stop giving it, so you stop getting it back. Baby,
17:21
Speaker 1: you came so indifference and get back affections. This is
17:31
Speaker 1: not about the relationships that went bad or had issues.
17:34
Speaker 1: This is about your losing sight of the loving person
17:38
Speaker 1: you were meant to be. You stopped loving me. You
17:43
Speaker 1: stopped loving life. You stopped loving the idea of love.
17:47
Speaker 1: And you stopped your authentic self. for a camouflage self
17:52
Speaker 1: that has no feeling. Do you know that living inside
17:56
Speaker 1: of you is like being trapped inside of a mannequin?
18:00
Speaker 3: Do you know that?
18:03
Speaker 1: You've accepted the low-grade high of status quo security and
18:09
Speaker 1: predictability over what you and I both know you long for.
18:12
Speaker 3: Deep in your heart.
18:13
Speaker 1: Passion.
18:15
Speaker 3: Passion.
18:15
Speaker 1: That once seemed to simmer on the front burner have
18:18
Speaker 1: now been reduced to a lukewarm leftover in your life.
18:22
Speaker 1: Spontaneity and desire and intimacy? Don't get me started about
18:26
Speaker 1: when the last time you were intimate you stopped hoping
18:30
Speaker 1: for intimacy. All of those have all gone by the
18:34
Speaker 1: wayside and I see you now getting ready to be
18:37
Speaker 1: intimate with someone and it's like it's October 31st and
18:41
Speaker 1: you're all dressed up for Halloween. You start the relationship
18:46
Speaker 1: like it's trick or treat night. Neither tricks nor the
18:50
Speaker 1: treat are what they would have been if you would
18:54
Speaker 1: have knocked on the door in a come as you are.
18:57
Speaker 3: Sort of way.
19:01
Speaker 1: Just plain openness is what I'm talking about. That is
19:04
Speaker 1: why you keep getting tricked. It is that you layered
19:10
Speaker 1: your costume, the one you wear to protect your heart,
19:14
Speaker 1: That costume has imprisoned you. Take off those silly masks
19:18
Speaker 1: and just be yourself.
19:21
Speaker 4: Just be yourself. Just be yourself.
19:29
Speaker 1: A nervous giggle breaks out in the room and again
19:32
Speaker 1: a somber sobriety sets in again as he continues. The
19:37
Speaker 1: relationship you do have seems flat and unfulfilling. I know
19:43
Speaker 1: you can't say amen Just don't, you don't communicate, you
19:49
Speaker 1: don't dance. hope for romance. You're jaded and cynical about
19:53
Speaker 1: everything and everyone's ulterior motives and the way they feel
19:58
Speaker 1: and what they're up to and who's betraying you.
20:00
Speaker 3: You're angry and You're angry at me.
20:03
Speaker 1: You're hard for longing for something that seems to cost
20:07
Speaker 1: so much for something so impermanent. You blame the other
20:11
Speaker 1: gender for being so different, so fickle, so untrustworthy, so unavailable.
20:18
Speaker 1: But listen, without me, romance I mean, you'll die. If
20:28
Speaker 1: you keep pushing me away and settling for less, and
20:31
Speaker 1: settling for less, and becoming apathetical in your lifestyle, you'll
20:36
Speaker 1: never be who you were meant to be. You'll become
20:42
Speaker 1: dismal or single, and your dismal attitude begins to flow
20:45
Speaker 1: through your life.
20:46
Speaker 3: Who could love you?
20:48
Speaker 1: Then you will never know the intensity or the pleasure
20:52
Speaker 1: of which.
20:53
Speaker 3: You were created.
20:54
Speaker 1: And I'm not even talking about sexual expression. Although we
20:59
Speaker 1: both know They play a part too. I won't stand
21:03
Speaker 1: for it anymore. You're worth more. You are worth more.
21:09
Speaker 1: You deserve. You deserve love and to be loved and
21:14
Speaker 1: to face the fears and disappointments that haunt you and
21:18
Speaker 1: move on. It's time to wake up.
21:21
Speaker 3: Wake up from that semi-comatose state in which you.
21:25
Speaker 1: Try to keep me drugged It's time to love boldly
21:29
Speaker 1: and passionately, to bring romance back into your life, to
21:34
Speaker 1: hope for a good person in your life who can
21:36
Speaker 1: love you for who you are. It's time to give
21:39
Speaker 1: up the addiction and embrace the recovery of your restless heart.
21:44
Speaker 3: I'm talking to you today. That's when you speak up.
21:50
Speaker 1: You've had enough of this confrontation, intervention, mumbo-jumbo, annoyed and embarrassed.
21:54
Speaker 1: You blurt out, I am not addicted to anything. I'm
21:57
Speaker 1: in control of myself and my circumstances. I did all
22:01
Speaker 1: right for myself without any of you and I'm still
22:03
Speaker 1: okay by myself.
22:05
Speaker 3: I am not addicted to any of you or anything else.
22:10
Speaker 1: L-lover and D-dreamer speak up simultaneously in unison. They say,
22:13
Speaker 1: you are addicted. You're addicted to apathy. Our lover continues,
22:19
Speaker 1: that's right, you're addicted to apathy. We all saw you
22:23
Speaker 1: stop caring. We watched you stop dreaming and believing. Deep
22:28
Speaker 1: dreamer says, sadly, you seem like you are hooked on indifference.
22:34
Speaker 1: And I know for sure that no real passion burns
22:38
Speaker 1: inside of you. Not like it used to. Not anymore. Manny,
22:53
Speaker 1: the manager, speaks up. A new voice enters the conversation.
22:57
Speaker 1: It has affected everything. Manny couldn't take it anymore.
23:00
Speaker 3: He explodes.
23:01
Speaker 1: It has affected your business. Your finances are going to hell.
23:05
Speaker 1: And don't even get me started on your credit. His
23:08
Speaker 1: anger boils over when he says, you are just letting
23:11
Speaker 1: things go. You don't handle your business anymore. You won't
23:15
Speaker 1: face up to issues. And they are not getting any better.
23:18
Speaker 1: They are getting worse. Manny had clearly held his peace
23:23
Speaker 1: as long as he could. He seemed annoyed, almost belligerent
23:27
Speaker 1: when he spoke. Everyone at the table looked at him
23:30
Speaker 1: almost surprised, but that was how Manny was. D-Dreamer patted
23:34
Speaker 1: Manny on the knee under the table and tried to
23:37
Speaker 1: calm him down, but he would not stop. He said, no, no,
23:42
Speaker 1: I'm going to say something. This has gotten out of hand.
23:46
Speaker 1: You see, Manny the manager is a part of you
23:49
Speaker 1: who knows what ought to be done. He is angry
23:52
Speaker 1: because you won't allow him to confront you about this
23:56
Speaker 1: apathetical attitude that has ruined your business opportunity. It has
24:00
Speaker 1: carjacked your credit ratings and murdered many chances you had
24:04
Speaker 1: to be.
24:05
Speaker 3: Further along financially ahead.
24:07
Speaker 1: Manny, Manny is a number cruncher. You know the type,
24:10
Speaker 1: a computer geek of a guy. He's a tell it
24:12
Speaker 1: like it is sort of guy. He is not the
24:14
Speaker 1: tender guy like L Lover, nor diplomatic like D. Manny
24:18
Speaker 1: is a guy who deals with the facts and the figures.
24:21
Speaker 1: He cuts to the chase. He tells it like it T-I-E-S. Hey,
24:26
Speaker 1: we got to stop right there, but we'll be right
24:28
Speaker 1: back right after this.
24:30

26:56
Speaker 1: Maybe you have a financial flu. Maybe it's because of
27:02
Speaker 1: how bad you and El Lover are getting along. I
27:05
Speaker 1: notice that when your love life isn't right, you overcompensate
27:09
Speaker 1: by overspending. We have to stop there. I could go
27:14
Speaker 1: on and on and on. Anytime you write a book
27:16
Speaker 1: about something, you have all kinds of material, more than
27:18
Speaker 1: you can comprise within a 30-minute segment. But this is
27:21
Speaker 1: just a taste, a sample, if you will, of the
27:24
Speaker 1: complexities that we all face as life changes and circumstances
27:28
Speaker 1: change and we find ourselves in a need to reposition ourselves. Many,
27:32
Speaker 1: many times we do not lend ourselves toward the idea
27:35
Speaker 1: of being flexible. We have a propensity to become stuck,
27:39
Speaker 1: to to become a monument when in fact we ought
27:42
Speaker 1: to be fluid and become a movement. If you reposition yourself,
27:47
Speaker 1: you can change your circumstance completely, ratify those areas that
27:51
Speaker 1: are reflecting failure and turn them into victory. But you've
27:55
Speaker 1: got to be flexible enough to reposition yourself. I pray
27:59
Speaker 1: you get this word into your heart and into your
28:00
Speaker 1: spirit and study it. It's very practical information, not deep theology.
28:04
Speaker 1: It's down-to-earth and practical, pragmatic ideas that will help to
28:09
Speaker 1: insulate you from destruction because you've gained the flexibility called change.
28:15
Speaker 1: What better place to talk about change than church? God
28:19
Speaker 1: bless you.
28:21
Speaker 4: Have a good one.
