Get Over It

JOEL @ LAKEWOOD CHURCH

• A lot of people go through life thinking that people owe them something. Your poor upbringing, that bad relationship, none of it was a surprise for God. God wasn't having a bad day when he made me.
• Psalms 139:14 NLT
  Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
• You can be pitiful or you can be powerful but you can't be both.
• God has given me the grace that I need to run my race. So I don't need to start comparing myself to others because I'm anointed to be me.
• God had already arranged a comeback for every setback.
• If anyone had a right to have a chip on their shoulder it was Job. There he was living right and he lost everything.
• It's very easy to make an excuse for being bitter. Sometimes we want things from people that they don't have. If you only look to people, they will always let you down. No one person can meet all of your needs, they will always fall short. Let people off of the hook. When you are bitter it poisons every area of your life.
• It's easy to remember what we didn't get.
• Psalms 27:10 NLT
  Even if my father and mother abandon me, the L ord will hold me close.
• Matthew 5:45 NLT
  In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.
• A bitter root will always produce bitter fruit. If the whole world stinks then maybe you need to make some changes on the inside. When we don't let things go it doesn't hurt the other person, it hurts you. You forgive for your own sake.
• Hebrews 12:15 AMP
  Exercise foresight and be on the watch to look [after one another], to see that no one falls back from and fails to secure God's grace (His unmerited favor and spiritual blessing), in order that no root of resentment (rancor, bitterness, or hatred) shoots forth and causes trouble and bitter torment, and the many become contaminated and defiled by it--
• Mordecai Peter Centennial Brown(October 19, 1876 – February 14, 1948), nicknamed "Three Finger" or "Miner", was an American Major League Baseball pitcher at the turn of the 20th century. Due to a farm-machinery accident in his youth, Brown lost parts of two fingers on his right hand[1] and eventually acquired his nickname as a result. Overcoming this handicap and turning it to his advantage, he became one of the elite pitchers of his era.
• Your handicap can become your advantage if you just get over it.

Seeing Yourself as a Masterpiece

Joel @ Lakewood Church

Ephesians 2:10 NLT

For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

God made me who I am on purpose and I'm his most prized possession.

Sometimes we see abstract paintings that cost millions of dollars. Its because the painting gets it's value from the painter.

Psalm 139:14 KJV

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

There was a man who lived a bulk of his life in poverty and after he died they found out that his estate was worth millions of dollars. In the same way a lot of us don't know what we have and we are living a life far beyond the one that we have chosen.

Mark 12:31 NLT

The second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' No other commandment is greater than these."

SOME PEOPLE HAVE RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN SELF-ESTEEM. YOU CAN'T LOVE OTHERS IF YOU DON'T LOVE YOURSELF

Numbers 13:33 NIV

We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.

THEY DIDN'T SAY THAT ANYONE INSULTED THEM, THEY SAID PEOPLE SAW THEM THE WAY THAT THEY SAW THEMSELVES

Revelation 1:6 NIV

and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

THIS IS HOW I SHOULD CARRY MYSELF.

Mark 1:11 NIV

And a voice came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased."

MY VALUE IS NOT BASED ON MY PERFORMANCE

WHEN I'M AGAINST MYSELF, IT MAKES ME DO WORSE.

Genesis 1:31 AMP

And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

Be bold enough to celebrate yourself.

We need to change the recording!

We are blessed to be a blessing.

Psalm 84:11 NLT

For the LORD God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory.

The LORD will withhold no good thing

from those who do what is right.

Jesus always blessed people who don't seem to deserve it.

John 8:7, 10-11 NLT

They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, "All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!" .... Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, "Where are your accusers? Didn't even one of them condemn you?" "No, Lord," she said.

And Jesus said, "Neither do I. Go and sin no more."

Simon Peter means "pebble" but Jesus called him a rock.

Jesus loves the sound of me blessing others.

JENIRO IS ON THE GO.
