00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:02,100
What's going on? 
Love quest Nation. 

2
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:05,000
Thank you for tuning into the 
Love quest podcast.

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,500
Get your Bibles ready? 
Get your notebook, get your 

4
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:10,600
coffee, get some water, whatever

00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,500
receive the time. 
Is right now. 

6
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:43,300
Let's go. 
It's important that ready for 

7
00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:47,000
what God is doing and that's 
just a demonstration of what I 

8
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,800
have to share today. 
Again pastors I thank you for 

9
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,900
the opportunity of sharing and 
again I don't take it lightly. 

10
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:58,200
And it is important that in the 
things, given for the 

11
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,300
opportunity, God does the lot of
the work you're going to do 

12
00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:03,900
through the opportunity. 
Amen. 

13
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:06,800
Amen. 
So like you can have a seat and 

14
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,400
we going to develop this. 
This topic here today, The champ

15
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,800
is here, we've been talking 
about it being on a championship

16
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,000
run. 
Every once a championship run, 

17
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,800
You got to put it in your mouth 
Championship run. 

18
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,600
Say greatest of all time, 
sometimes it begins by just 

19
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,300
associating yourself with 
certain words. 

20
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:35,400
Sometimes you just got to 
associate yourself with the 

21
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,900
greatest just by saying it. 
And there are times where you 

22
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:44,200
look in the mirror and if you're
asked, is just speak that it 

23
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,900
becomes difficult because 
everything in you says, no, 

24
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:49,300
you're a liar. 
No. 

25
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:51,400
I know where you've been. 
I know what you've done, 

26
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,800
greatness of, who greatness of 
what, where you come from, to be

27
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,400
able to say that. 
Then you get religious, do you 

28
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:03,900
have to be humble. 
Sometimes, the first step is 

29
00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:07,100
just associating yourself 
through what you say with the 

30
00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:11,900
things you desire to do, be 
courageous and put your name 

31
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:16,000
next to greatest. 
I'm not just have it for 

32
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,700
somebody else with a champ is 
here and part of what I wanted 

33
00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:23,700
to begin with, is it just some 
things to remind us of? 

34
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:27,600
Number one is, stop waiting for 
someone to tell you who you are.

35
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:33,500
You stop waiting for someone to 
tell you who you are. 

36
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:38,600
That's your job. 
It's your job to know who you 

37
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,000
are. 
Not somebody else's. 

38
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,700
If anything you reflect who you 
are to others and then as they 

39
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:52,700
see, you being who you are, they
begin to tell you who you are. 

40
00:02:56,900 --> 00:02:59,900
Let me stop waiting for someone 
to tell you who you are. 

41
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,600
The Matthew chapter 7. 
It says this, why do you stare 

42
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,000
from without at the very small 
particle? 

43
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,700
That's in your brother's eye but
do not become aware of a 

44
00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:14,000
consider, the beam of Timber 
that Your own eye. 

45
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:15,800
Oh, how can you say to your 
brother? 

46
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,900
Let me get the tiny particle out
of your eye. 

47
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:21,400
When there is the beam of Timber
in your own eye, you hypocrite 

48
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,800
first, get the beam of Timber 
out of your own eye, and then 

49
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,500
you'll be able to see clearly 
stop waiting for someone to tell

50
00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:33,400
you guys something in your eye. 
It's up to you to know you got 

51
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,000
something in your eye. 
It's up to you to do the work 

52
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,900
that they hold on. 
I gotta check myself first. 

53
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,600
It's not for you to do that now 
for someone else, not wait for 

54
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,800
someone else. 
To do that and stop making 

55
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:51,200
excuses for who you are now. 
Yes stop making excuses for the 

56
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,500
greatness of who you are but 
stop making excuses for the 

57
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:57,700
other parts of who you are. 
The bad parts of who you are. 

58
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,400
Distinct parts of who you are 
the undeveloped parts of who you

59
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,500
are. 
Stop making excuses for who you 

60
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:07,500
are. 
Hebrews chapter 5 says this. 

61
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:16,500
concerning this, we have much to
say It's hard to explain since 

62
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:20,500
you become dull and your 
spiritual hearing and sluggish 

63
00:04:20,899 --> 00:04:24,200
even slothful in achieving 
spiritual Insight. 

64
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:27,700
We even though, by this time, 
you ought to be teaching others.

65
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,900
Yeah, actually need someone to 
teach you over again. 

66
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:38,100
So this reteaching is happened 
for the second and third time. 

67
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:43,400
And teach you over again, the 
very first principles of God's 

68
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:49,200
word, you have come to need 
milk, not solid food, sometimes,

69
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,300
you just got to know who you are
and stop making excuses for it. 

70
00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:56,100
You should be a teacher, but 
you're not. 

71
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,700
You should be Beyond The Pale 
Elementary things but you 

72
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:03,600
haven't progressed there. 
You sluggish, you don't have 

73
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,000
spiritual hearing. 
Sometimes you need to stop 

74
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,200
making excuses for who you are 
and just say, I am dull and 

75
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,700
sluggish of spiritual hearing. 
I should be teaching, but I'm 

76
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:16,300
not, I'm back to milk when I 
should be on me. 

77
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,600
He needs to stop making excuses 
for who you are. 

78
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,400
Because in that place in what of
honesty and vulnerability, God 

79
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,900
begins to do a work. 
The Bible says this because God 

80
00:05:31,900 --> 00:05:37,100
says this. 
I wish you were either cold or 

81
00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:41,100
hot. 
You're the great thing about 

82
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:43,600
being cold, they making excuses 
for who they are. 

83
00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:48,200
You know, the great thing about 
being hot, they're not making 

84
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,700
excuses for who they are. 
Is the fork in the middle of 

85
00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:53,800
trying to explain everything to 
everybody. 

86
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,600
God can take someone who's cold 
is not making excuses and use 

87
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:07,600
that commitment to authenticity 
and honesty and and transform it

88
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:13,100
to something significant. 
He just needs to stop making 

89
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:17,200
excuses for who you are. 
First Corinthians 11 says this. 

90
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,200
Let a man thoroughly examine 
himself or herself and only when

91
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,300
he has done so shitty. 
Eat that. 

92
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,700
Bread of the drink of the cup 
for, If We searchingly, examined

93
00:06:28,700 --> 00:06:30,900
ourselves, we should not be 
judged. 

94
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:36,000
Again, the show job to figure 
out who you are your job to take

95
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,500
a look at. 
Look at who you are. 

96
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,300
Stop making excuses you assert, 
you examine your own self 

97
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:44,900
thoroughly. 
You search your own self? 

98
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:49,300
Honestly, that's your 
responsibility. 

99
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,100
If he going to be on the 
championship run, this is 

100
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:56,100
vitally necessary in order to do
this. 

101
00:06:56,300 --> 00:06:58,500
It's some of the bravest work. 
You do some of the most 

102
00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:01,600
courageous work, you do some of 
the most honest work you're ever

103
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,500
do. 
Some of the most rewarding work 

104
00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:08,200
you ever do. 
It's time to grow up. 

105
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,600
And I actually I phrased it 
differently on the slide, it's 

106
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,400
time grow up, not it's time to 
grow up. 

107
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:22,800
Its time grow up. 
It's time to grow up. 

108
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:31,500
It doesn't say it's time be 
perfect, it doesn't say it's 

109
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:34,000
time. 
It won't be difficult. 

110
00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:40,300
You didn't say it's time. 
You be like me versus you. 

111
00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:44,600
Just be you It's that it's time.
Grow up. 

112
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,800
You gotta have a conviction and 
a made-up mind and a consistency

113
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,900
in order to mature and grow up. 
Its time grow up, say It's Time 

114
00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:03,000
grow up and you speak that to 
you. 

115
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,100
First and foremost, don't you 
understand? 

116
00:08:07,100 --> 00:08:09,400
There's some of the key to the 
growth around. 

117
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,700
You depends on the growth in you
when you decide to grow up. 

118
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,200
Then Yes, two rounds, you begins
to grow up, stop waiting on 

119
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,800
others to grow up for you to 
grow up and stop making excuses 

120
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:30,500
for your not growing up. 
And growing up as a function of 

121
00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:33,700
where you need to be not a 
function of where you are. 

122
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:42,900
You can be mature, you can have 
experienced a lot of things in 

123
00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:46,600
life and then the faith. 
But sometimes you still got to 

124
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,200
grow up. 
I came to this church, been a 

125
00:08:51,208 --> 00:08:54,000
lot of years in the face. 
Different years of experience. 

126
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,000
I could have easily said, hey 
I'm not used to doing it that 

127
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,900
way. 
Hey, I'm older and that kind of 

128
00:09:00,900 --> 00:09:03,900
thing. 
And we all is pivoting, all 

129
00:09:03,900 --> 00:09:06,100
this, that kind of stuff. 
Why I grew up. 

130
00:09:06,108 --> 00:09:10,100
That's called flaky. 
Let's go make up your mind. 

131
00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:16,000
But in this time, I had to 
decide to grow up. 

132
00:09:17,300 --> 00:09:19,900
No matter how old you are, no 
matter where you are, you going 

133
00:09:19,900 --> 00:09:24,100
to have to make a decision to 
grow up, it's time to grow up, 

134
00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:27,900
grow up out of your excuses. 
Grow up out of your reasonings, 

135
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,600
grow up out of every 
justification, you have for 

136
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,400
being stuck. 
It's time to grow up. 

137
00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:42,000
First Corinthians 13 says this, 
when I was a child, I talked 

138
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,900
like a child. 
I thought like a child, I 

139
00:09:44,900 --> 00:09:48,400
reasoned like a child. 
Now that I've become a man or 

140
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:53,800
mature. 
I am done, I am done I am done 

141
00:09:53,800 --> 00:10:01,700
with childish ways and I've put 
them aside Nothing, the putting 

142
00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:05,000
them aside as essential because 
that means is I'm not let them 

143
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,300
get in my way anymore. 
I'm not going to let them be 

144
00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:13,000
accessible to me anymore. 
I am done and I'm putting them 

145
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,000
off to the side and out of my 
way because I'm finished, they 

146
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,000
won't be in my sight. 
They won't be in my path. 

147
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:25,200
It's time to grow up, it's time 
grow up. 

148
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,400
Now, this is not a message of 
getting on you. 

149
00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:32,900
This is a message of encouraging
you. 

150
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,600
You need people in your life 
that are going to tell you that 

151
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:44,600
you stank. 
There's a story about Derek 

152
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,400
Jeter, saw a documentary, he 
even playing for against number 

153
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,200
Derek. 
Jeter baseball player. 

154
00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:54,200
Get the Yankee of Yankees people
call them. 

155
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,500
He had a Hall of Fame career up 
to certain point outstanding 

156
00:10:58,500 --> 00:11:02,900
player and they find it was a 
general manager that came down 

157
00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:05,700
to Derek says derrickman, you 
need to work on some throws and 

158
00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:09,400
some accuracy, bro. 
Derek like what you talking 

159
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,700
about. 
Derek Manion defense is not 

160
00:11:12,700 --> 00:11:16,100
where it needs to be what man, 
come on man. 

161
00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:18,600
Ain't nobody saying my defense 
is not where it needs to be. 

162
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,200
He says Derek no one wants to 
tell you because you're Derek 

163
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:28,800
Jeter. but we're looking at 
Replacements for you because of 

164
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:34,300
your lack of Defense, Derek 
Derek said so you mean people 

165
00:11:34,300 --> 00:11:37,000
have been thinking like this for
a long time? 

166
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:43,000
Yes. 
Derek The next that year he 

167
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,900
transformed his defense and grew
up and we took it to another 

168
00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:49,800
level. 
The general manager said this 

169
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:54,100
how unfortunate are we that we 
denied him the ability to be 

170
00:11:54,100 --> 00:12:01,300
excellent by not being honest 
with him, I'm not being honest 

171
00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:03,700
with him and saying, Derek, you 
got to grow up. 

172
00:12:05,300 --> 00:12:12,000
The defense is childish grow up.
Never had to put a title on 

173
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,900
this. 
Here's the real Focus. 

174
00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:22,500
Champions Scout themselves. 
Everyone say Champions Scout 

175
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:26,400
themselves? 
It's vitally important that as a

176
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:32,000
champion you Scout yourself. 
It's vitally important that you 

177
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,600
do that. 
And if anything, you may need to

178
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,300
Scott yourself even more than 
anybody else, you Scout. 

179
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:42,600
Question is this, for example, 
what does it mean? 

180
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,400
Scott yourself? 
We'll get into a little bit of 

181
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,800
detail in that little bit later,
but it means to examine. 

182
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,800
Where are you? 
How you perform it? 

183
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,500
What's going on with you? 
Joshua 1 says this, keep this 

184
00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:58,700
book of the law always on your 
lips meditated on on a day and 

185
00:12:58,700 --> 00:13:02,300
night so that you may be careful
to do everything written in it. 

186
00:13:02,300 --> 00:13:04,900
Scout yourself. 
How you doing with the word? 

187
00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:08,300
Are you meditate in the word day
and night? 

188
00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:13,200
Are you really? 
Are you not? 

189
00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:18,000
This ain't gonna get on what 
it's saying is God's given us 

190
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,900
the keys to be effective if we 
just operate the keys, right? 

191
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:26,100
But somebody got to be bold 
enough to challenge you and say,

192
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:29,700
it says, meditate on the work 
day and night, are you doing it?

193
00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:32,400
It don't say every other day, or
every other night. 

194
00:13:33,900 --> 00:13:37,500
Where's the word life? 
That can't be Scout themselves. 

195
00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:39,300
They don't get down on 
themselves. 

196
00:13:39,300 --> 00:13:42,600
They Scout themselves. 
They don't beat themselves up. 

197
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:47,100
They just Out themselves, they 
just give honest, evaluation of 

198
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:53,200
where they are so they can grow.
James 3 says this out of the 

199
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:58,200
same mouth comes forth, blessing
and cursing these things. 

200
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,000
My brother ought not to be so 
there's a fountain, stand forth,

201
00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:04,700
simultaneously from the same 
opening fresh water. 

202
00:14:04,700 --> 00:14:09,100
And bitter water has your word, 
has your speaking life, what's 

203
00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:14,200
coming out your mouth? 
What you're really saying, how 

204
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,700
are you really talking? 
Not only the words coming out, 

205
00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:21,500
but the words in your head too 
many too many too many too many.

206
00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:25,900
What voices in my hair? 
Trying to tell me what to do. 

207
00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:29,700
Sometimes you gotta watch the 
voices in your head as well. 

208
00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:31,300
The words that come out of your 
mouth. 

209
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,700
What's your word life? 
Like, what are you talking 

210
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:36,000
lifelike? 
Right? 

211
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,900
You gotta be honest, where are 
you? 

212
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,600
Champions always challenged 
themselves in those areas. 

213
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:46,000
When things start going wrong, 
or they're not performing at the

214
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000
level, they begin to examine. 
Let me Scout myself. 

215
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,900
Let me check my fundamentals. 
How's my word? 

216
00:14:51,900 --> 00:14:55,800
How's my speaky? 
Because they understand 

217
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,900
execution on the fundamentals is
the key to consistent success 

218
00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:05,200
and development over time. 
First curtain rings first She is

219
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:10,700
13 says this love bears up in 
under anything and everything 

220
00:15:10,700 --> 00:15:14,300
that comes is every ready to 
believe the best of every 

221
00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:18,800
person. 
It's hopes are fadeless under 

222
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,200
all circumstances and it indoors
everything. 

223
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,600
How's your love life? 
How's your love walk? 

224
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,800
Champion Scout themselves. 
How's my word? 

225
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,700
How's my speaking? 
How's my love walk. 

226
00:15:34,900 --> 00:15:37,800
You got to examine that you got 
to be honest with yourself 

227
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,600
about, where you really are with
that. 

228
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,900
Are you the fakeness under all 
circumstances? 

229
00:15:43,900 --> 00:15:47,900
Are you always believing the 
best of every person including 

230
00:15:47,900 --> 00:15:50,500
yourself? 
How can you be? 

231
00:15:50,500 --> 00:15:54,000
The believe, the best about me 
when you spend days on end, not 

232
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,700
believing the best about you 
believe in the worst about you. 

233
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,700
Are you believing the best about
every person? 

234
00:15:59,700 --> 00:16:03,300
You know, the great thing about 
believing the best about every 

235
00:16:03,300 --> 00:16:06,200
person, it doesn't mean that 
your spit that you're ignorant 

236
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:11,800
of people. 
It does mean believing the best 

237
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,800
means that Redemption is always 
available. 

238
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,800
Grace can always change people's
hearts believe in the best is 

239
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,700
not ignoring where people are. 
Like I said earlier, but it's 

240
00:16:22,700 --> 00:16:26,700
believing that with the grace of
God, it can change and it isn't 

241
00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:30,200
have to Forever to change 
because Grace can change things 

242
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,400
in a moment. 
God can be worth a nation in a 

243
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,100
day. 
He can do a work in a moment. 

244
00:16:38,900 --> 00:16:43,100
What scouting scouting is the 
process of looking at the 

245
00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:48,900
details of you apologize. 
Got a spelling their details of 

246
00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:52,700
your opponent to gain an 
advantage in strategy, 

247
00:16:52,700 --> 00:16:56,500
execution, in mindset Scout is 
the process of looking at the 

248
00:16:56,500 --> 00:16:58,900
details of your opponent, the 
details. 

249
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:02,800
You got to look at the details. 
You got to be willing to look at

250
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:09,300
the details of where you are. 
Scouting, involves a deep in of 

251
00:17:09,300 --> 00:17:15,000
every level of the team, the 
entire organization in order to 

252
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,900
gain or tell you the tendencies 
that were predict future 

253
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:23,700
Behavior, You gotta Scout the 
front office. 

254
00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:26,800
You gotta Scout the janitors. 
You gotta Scout to concession 

255
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,200
people. 
You gotta Scout everybody. 

256
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:32,300
Why are you scouting the 
concession people? 

257
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,000
Well, the concession people are 
given such a great experience 

258
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,500
that people want to be there 
longer and they're energized by 

259
00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:41,300
it. 
That's going to create Havoc for

260
00:17:41,300 --> 00:17:43,100
you. 
You try to play this other team 

261
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,900
if the concessions are just 
trash then you know folk don't 

262
00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:49,700
not gonna be there, the energy 
level going to be low which 

263
00:17:49,700 --> 00:17:51,900
means what as I'm Petey make, is
that team. 

264
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,100
I'm going to have Advantage 
because the crowd don't want to 

265
00:17:54,108 --> 00:17:59,800
be there. you got asked out 
every level, Or what's happening

266
00:18:00,700 --> 00:18:04,500
your opponents are scouting. 
You looking for familiar 

267
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:07,100
spirits, poor responses, and 
uncheck flesh. 

268
00:18:09,100 --> 00:18:13,800
Your Pony Scout you they already
doing the work that you need to 

269
00:18:13,808 --> 00:18:19,100
be doing is scouting yourselves 
as a champion and opponents 

270
00:18:19,100 --> 00:18:22,800
motivated. 
Right? 

271
00:18:22,900 --> 00:18:26,100
Opponent, not impressed by you, 
they're not gonna believe your 

272
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:28,300
own hype, they're not gonna 
believe the delusions. 

273
00:18:28,300 --> 00:18:31,300
You sell yourself that you're 
better than you are or deeper 

274
00:18:31,300 --> 00:18:33,800
than you are more, a more rooted
than you. 

275
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:39,900
Are they not going to believe 
buy into all of that Acts. 19 

276
00:18:39,900 --> 00:18:44,800
says this. 
But one evil spirit retorted 

277
00:18:45,100 --> 00:18:47,900
Jesus. 
I know and Paul I know. 

278
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:53,900
But who are you? 
I know that my Scout them. 

279
00:18:55,100 --> 00:18:57,400
I know when they show up, I 
know. 

280
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,000
It's like when they own this 
thing. 

281
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,500
I know that Paul is likened 
unto, Jesus. 

282
00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:05,600
I know they come from this thing
playing tree or come from the 

283
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,200
same school or program of the 
same coaching tree. 

284
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,400
Damn, I know. 
But I've been scouting you, and 

285
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,500
you ain't none of them who you 
think you are. 

286
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,600
That's kind of what he's saying.
It's not saying, I don't know 

287
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,700
who you are. 
It's like, bro.

289

He watches for the little 
murmurings of your mouth of 

297
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,000
insufficiency and Brokenness and
self-doubt.

Temptation he left and they 
talking about Jesus until a more

306
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,700

Now, I got you in rejection 
mode.

enemy Scouting. 

312
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:46,300
For, when you vote, you need to 
know that you can eat the Scout.

313
00:20:46,300 --> 00:20:49,700
Those kind of things. 
You got to know when you're 

314
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:52,400
vulnerable, you got to know when
you susceptible to different 

315
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,500
things, you got to know what 
triggers you to have a good 

316
00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:58,100
game. 
You know why you guys know what 

317
00:20:58,100 --> 00:21:00,200
triggers you to really great 
things where, you know, when 

318
00:21:00,300 --> 00:21:02,800
when someone says man, you did a
really good job Asheville 

319
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,600
conference. 
The conference of God that's 

320
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,800
dangerous because You got a 
trigger to someone can pull. 

321
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,000
And can manipulate. 
Right. 

322
00:21:14,100 --> 00:21:16,700
You gotta know what makes you 
feel good and ask yourself. 

323
00:21:16,700 --> 00:21:19,600
Why does that make me feel good?
It shouldn't make me feel that. 

324
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:31,600
Good Champions Scout themselves.
Blue 14 says, for which of you 

325
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,300
wishing to build a farm. 
Does not first sit down and 

326
00:21:35,300 --> 00:21:39,200
calculate the cost whether your 
sufficient means to finish it. 

327
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,400
That's called Scout yourself. 
Do I really have what it takes 

328
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,100
to have the face for this again?
What does that mean? 

329
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:49,000
Some people are afraid of that 
because why they've identified 

330
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,000
themselves with failure and to 
see that they have some progress

331
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,700
to be made triggers in them that
they'll never make it versus 

332
00:21:57,700 --> 00:21:59,800
assessing. 
What needs to be done? 

333
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,300
Is the first step of walking in 
the fullness of what I can do. 

334
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,500
I can't change what? 
I don't know, I can't fix what? 

335
00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:09,100
I don't know, is broke. 
I can't build what? 

336
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:14,500
I don't know, it's strong. 
You gotta sit down. 

337
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:16,500
Ask out yourself. 
What do I really have? 

338
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,200
We're really is my love walk. 
God wants to take me to this 

339
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:21,800
place. 
We get these prophetic words, 

340
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,000
glorious and great and movie 
man. 

341
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,300
Where am I? 
Really how rooted am I really in

342
00:22:27,300 --> 00:22:30,400
this church? 
And who am I going to tell the 

343
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,200
truth to about that? 
Am I gonna walk around 

344
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,400
pretending like I'm rooted when 
I'm not? 

345
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,400
I was looking to get out even 
while I'm in knowing in my heart

346
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,100
I get a better offer and I'm 
gone. 

347
00:22:46,300 --> 00:22:50,400
You got asked out that you got 
to figure that out. 

348
00:22:51,900 --> 00:22:58,000
Champion Scout themselves. 
Good scouting, makes you be 

349
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:03,500
honest with yourself. 
Most folk afraid to be honest 

350
00:23:03,500 --> 00:23:05,800
with themselves, they want to 
have a delusion that there are 

351
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,900
better than they think they are.
And as long as they're not 

352
00:23:08,900 --> 00:23:13,200
tested, they happy with it. 
And then when they get tested 

353
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,900
this, what happens, right? 
This will happen. 

354
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,100
Then you get tested and then you
find out you're not as good as 

355
00:23:18,100 --> 00:23:20,100
you are. 
No, the first thing you do. 

356
00:23:21,300 --> 00:23:25,000
Why didn't you tell me? 
You begin to look and blame 

357
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,900
somebody else? 
Why didn't you tell me? 

358
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:31,700
I wasn't that good. 
Why did you let me or the blame 

359
00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:34,700
Comes This Way. 
Why aren't you helping me up 

360
00:23:34,700 --> 00:23:38,400
faster? 
You told me, you got it. 

361
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:41,100
You just got a report told me 
that you had us, what you told, 

362
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:47,100
be Spots, Don't let you have it.
This guy, he makes, you be 

363
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:50,800
honest with yourself. 
Romans 12 says this, for by 

364
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,100
Grace given to me, I warned 
everyone among you not to 

365
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:56,700
estimate and think of it 
yourself more highly than you 

366
00:23:56,700 --> 00:24:00,300
ought, but the rate your ability
was sober judgment. 

367
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,000
And according to the degree of 
Faith, apportioned by God to you

368
00:24:05,100 --> 00:24:07,400
in the wrong with staying only 
got five minute preaching Faith.

369
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,400
That's all I got. 
I can do five minutes actually. 

370
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,200
I only do three. 
I'm stretching the five. 

371
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,500
Don't get me six. 
I'm done at five. 

372
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:15,900
Don't give me. 
Six. 

373
00:24:16,700 --> 00:24:19,500
There's nothing wrong with 
saying that there's nothing 

374
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:22,500
wrong with identifying with 
where you are with that. 

375
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,800
There's nothing wrong with 
saying I'm tired of this church 

376
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,600
thing. 
I've been doing it for so long. 

377
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,400
All I mean it is for the Reps 
and for the, for the, the 

378
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,200
retirement benefits. 
I'm in it to save face before. 

379
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,500
Don't think I'm a heathen. 
And I really just kind of 

380
00:24:35,500 --> 00:24:36,800
walking this thing through, 
really? 

381
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,600
I'm not going to be doing much. 
I was going to be passing 

382
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,700
through and I'm not mature 
enough to fake the funk. 

383
00:24:42,700 --> 00:24:45,100
So everybody else thinks I'm a 
good Christian and I'm a good 

384
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,500
Deeply rooted person but I know 
the truth. 

385
00:24:51,100 --> 00:24:53,300
Ben, you gotta Scout yourself. 
You gotta be honest with 

386
00:24:53,300 --> 00:24:55,200
yourself in terms of where you 
are. 

387
00:24:56,500 --> 00:25:03,500
Mark 9 man said this. 
A father of a boy who was being.

388
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,600
Tormented by evil spirit, he 
cried with tears to the Lord 

389
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,000
said, Lord, I believe you, but 
help my weakness of faith. 

390
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,000
It was all right, to be honest. 
Lord, I believe, but help my 

391
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,800
weakness. 
The faith, don't these two 

392
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,100
things can exist in the same 
place, okay? 

393
00:25:24,300 --> 00:25:27,500
You can have belief or 
non-belief past has been talking

394
00:25:27,500 --> 00:25:30,600
about this, right? 
You're born again, your spirit, 

395
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,700
but your flesh is trying to pull
you a different way. 

396
00:25:32,900 --> 00:25:35,800
You can have things two things 
exist in the same place. 

397
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,100
Question. 
Is which dog you gonna feed the 

398
00:25:38,100 --> 00:25:40,200
dog? 
You feed, the dog is gonna win 

399
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,700
the dog. 
You love is the one that's gonna

400
00:25:41,700 --> 00:25:45,700
win, right? 
Those two things can exist in 

401
00:25:45,700 --> 00:25:48,900
the same place. 
Now, how you know that where's 

402
00:25:48,900 --> 00:25:51,300
the Bible that you don't Jesus, 
still got his scars. 

403
00:25:54,500 --> 00:25:57,300
She's walking around heaven with
scars. 

404
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,500
It total Victory but bearing the
marks of being being punished 

405
00:26:02,500 --> 00:26:06,300
and torment and death in hell, 
you can have two things exist in

406
00:26:06,300 --> 00:26:09,300
the same place and you got to be
honest with that. 

407
00:26:09,300 --> 00:26:11,800
I'm this. 
But I'm this to I'm here, but 

408
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,700
I'm here, too. 
And sometimes we don't want to 

409
00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:17,500
admit the ones that we don't 
like, because we think it's 

410
00:26:17,500 --> 00:26:20,200
going to undermine our ability 
to say the ones that we do like,

411
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,600
Good scouting, breaks 
tendencies. 

412
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,800
Good. 
Scouting is honest. 

413
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,300
Accountability. 
Good. 

414
00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:41,100
Scouting is honest. 
Accountability Joshua chapter 1 

415
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:45,200
says this? 
Moses my servant is dead. 

416
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:50,300
So now arise go over this. 
Jordan kind of Bill. 

417
00:26:50,300 --> 00:26:53,400
He's saying sometimes man, Moses
is dead. 

418
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,800
It is what it is. 
You got a bad attitude? 

419
00:27:00,100 --> 00:27:06,300
It is what it is. 
Too often you're getting the 

420
00:27:06,300 --> 00:27:10,000
funk. 
It is what it is. 

421
00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:14,400
Your inability to address these 
issues in your life, is 

422
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:22,100
crippling your progress. 
It is what it is accountability 

423
00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:23,900
is essential. 
If you're going to scout 

424
00:27:23,900 --> 00:27:27,700
yourself, Folk don't want to 
scout themselves because they 

425
00:27:27,708 --> 00:27:34,800
don't want accountability. 
The got to be willing to scout 

426
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,200
yourself. 
You're gonna be on a 

427
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,000
championship run. 
When you're on a championship 

428
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,100
run you got victories and you 
get Tendencies, he stopped 

429
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:45,400
progressing in a certain way, 
you gotta learn, how to change 

430
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,600
that up. 
Because if you can trace you, 

431
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,000
the enemy can trace you. 
That's why God gives various 

432
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,900
gifts and various things and 
does things in Myriad ways. 

433
00:27:56,100 --> 00:28:00,400
Now, I got so much more. 
That I want to get to. 

434
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,700
I won't be able to get to it 
this service but I'm going to 

435
00:28:04,700 --> 00:28:08,300
finish this up at 5:30. 
I encourage you to come not only

436
00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:12,200
to down into the next sermon 
5:30 as well God builds things 

437
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,500
throughout the time during the 
day, I want to give you one 

438
00:28:15,500 --> 00:28:19,500
story very quickly. when you 
want story, very quickly on 

439
00:28:19,500 --> 00:28:25,100
this, Tom Brady greatest 
football player of all time, 

440
00:28:25,100 --> 00:28:31,200
some argue greatest quarterback,
at least he was a six run, fifth

441
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,600
round, draft choice. 
He didn't even start for his 

442
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:38,200
college team, he was on, he was 
in walking through the hallways 

443
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,600
of the New England Patriots and 
he walked past the quarterback 

444
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,900
room and saw that. 
It's quarterback, coach had left

445
00:28:44,900 --> 00:28:50,300
his scouting report on the 
table, And so he went and 

446
00:28:50,300 --> 00:28:53,800
decided to take a look at it. 
What would a coach is saying? 

447
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:59,300
The coach said this, some 
ability mediocre arm Talent. 

448
00:28:59,500 --> 00:29:01,400
Don't know if he's going to 
stick around. 

449
00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:07,600
Don't know if he really has it. 
That was the making of Tom Brady

450
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,300
to really know what people 
thought about it. 

451
00:29:11,700 --> 00:29:14,100
When I know what I'm doing now. 
I know what I need to grow. 

452
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:16,300
What I need to change, how I 
need to get there. 

453
00:29:18,300 --> 00:29:20,700
A good scouting reports. 
Counting yourself is the 

454
00:29:20,700 --> 00:29:24,300
beginning of greatness. 
It's not the beginning of your 

455
00:29:24,300 --> 00:29:27,400
destruction and the more 
Fearless you are in your 

456
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,600
scouting report of yourself, the
quicker, you are to being exit, 

457
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,700
accessing that greatness that 
God has in you, in for you. 

458
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,700
So, today, I'm going to 
encourage you with this. 

459
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:47,200
Decide and make up your mind. 
He'll Scout yourself and be 

460
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,500
honest about it. 
Ask the Holy Spirit to help you.

461
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,400
Holy Spirit, help me Scout 
myself. 

462
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,500
You know me better than me. 
Show me the real truth. 

463
00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:01,000
Help me Scout myself so I can 
grow. 

464
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,900
Help me Scout myself in ways 
that I need to change and be 

465
00:30:04,900 --> 00:30:11,800
transformed. 
You come on up. 

466
00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:22,000
My prayer is this father it is.

where we are and accept where we
are.
