- female announcer: Coming up
00:00:08.130 --> 00:00:09.080
on "The Potter's Touch."
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:10.130
- Bishop T.D. Jakes: This is
00:00:10.130 --> 00:00:11.010
how we praise the Lord by
00:00:11.010 --> 00:00:12.160
doing something with what he
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:13.200
gave us.
00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:14.170
I see people every day who have
00:00:14.170 --> 00:00:16.000
wonderful talents but they're
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:17.050
poorly packaged, and if you're
00:00:17.050 --> 00:00:18.270
not packaged right, you won't
00:00:18.270 --> 00:00:20.130
maximize your potential.
00:00:20.130 --> 00:00:21.280
Most people package themselves
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.000
based on where they were rather
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.010
than where they're going, but
00:00:26.010 --> 00:00:27.220
you got to package for where
00:00:27.220 --> 00:00:28.250
you're going.
00:00:28.250 --> 00:00:30.030
Oh, y'all don't hear what I'm
00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:30.290
saying.
00:00:30.290 --> 00:00:32.000
Oh, touch somebody and say,
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:33.180
"Wrap that thing.
00:00:33.180 --> 00:00:34.170
Wrap that thing.
00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:35.030
The Potter's Touch
00:00:49.270 --> 00:00:52.050
The Potter's Touch
00:00:53.030 --> 00:00:56.030
- Cora Jakes-Coleman: Hi,
00:00:56.030 --> 00:00:56.190
everyone.
00:00:56.190 --> 00:00:57.110
I'm Pastor Cora Jakes-Coleman,
00:00:57.110 --> 00:00:58.220
and this is "The Potter's
00:00:58.220 --> 00:01:00.100
Touch."
00:01:00.100 --> 00:01:01.080
God has given you so many gifts
00:01:01.080 --> 00:01:03.110
both spiritually and in the
00:01:03.110 --> 00:01:05.120
natural.
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:06.100
But do you know how to make the
00:01:06.100 --> 00:01:08.160
most of them?
00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:10.010
Our bishop will teach us how to
00:01:10.010 --> 00:01:11.210
be productive with God's
00:01:11.210 --> 00:01:12.210
blessing so that we can maximize
00:01:12.210 --> 00:01:15.110
our impact.
00:01:15.110 --> 00:01:16.130
[music]
00:01:19.130 --> 00:01:22.130
- Bishop Jakes: The Father
00:01:22.130 --> 00:01:23.000
created me with gifts.
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:24.280
The Son gifted me with his life,
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.000
blessed me with the gift of
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:28.280
salvation.
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.000
The Holy Spirit comes along and
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:31.090
he releases all kinds of
00:01:31.090 --> 00:01:32.290
spiritual gifts down inside of
00:01:32.290 --> 00:01:35.020
me.
00:01:35.020 --> 00:01:35.270
And when I seem to be like
00:01:35.270 --> 00:01:37.050
Jesus, that makes me a giver,
00:01:38.100 --> 00:01:41.100
not a taker.
00:01:41.100 --> 00:01:42.290
You can't be like Jesus and be a
00:01:42.290 --> 00:01:44.160
taker.
00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:45.260
If you're like Jesus, you're
00:01:45.260 --> 00:01:47.030
going to be a--oh, y'all don't
00:01:47.030 --> 00:01:48.080
hear what I'm saying?
00:01:48.080 --> 00:01:49.220
I'm going to hit on it in a
00:01:49.220 --> 00:01:51.010
minute.
00:01:51.010 --> 00:01:51.270
Touch somebody and say, "Yeah."
00:01:51.270 --> 00:01:53.210
- all: "Yeah."
00:01:53.210 --> 00:01:55.230
- Bishop Jakes: Let's talk
00:01:55.230 --> 00:01:56.100
about the giver.
00:01:56.100 --> 00:01:57.020
"Every good," the Bible says,
00:01:57.020 --> 00:01:58.140
"Every good and perfect gift
00:01:58.140 --> 00:02:00.030
cometh down from above, from the
00:02:00.030 --> 00:02:01.280
Father of lights in whom there
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.050
is no variableness, nor shadow
00:02:03.050 --> 00:02:05.020
of turning."
00:02:05.020 --> 00:02:06.080
"Every good and perfect gift
00:02:06.080 --> 00:02:08.240
cometh down from above," so you
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.280
don't have to wonder where I
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:11.250
don't know where I got this
00:02:11.250 --> 00:02:12.230
from.
00:02:12.230 --> 00:02:13.260
God.
00:02:13.260 --> 00:02:15.260
"Every good and perfect gift is
00:02:15.260 --> 00:02:17.210
from above and coming down from
00:02:17.210 --> 00:02:19.060
the Father of light."
00:02:19.060 --> 00:02:20.220
Every gift you got down inside
00:02:20.220 --> 00:02:22.290
of you.
00:02:22.290 --> 00:02:23.200
I'm not talking about the
00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:24.250
obvious gifts alone but every
00:02:24.250 --> 00:02:26.250
gift you've got.
00:02:26.250 --> 00:02:28.080
It's things that you've been
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:29.040
walking past and ignoring.
00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:30.220
God planted them down inside of
00:02:30.220 --> 00:02:32.070
you.
00:02:32.070 --> 00:02:33.010
It cometh down from above, from
00:02:33.010 --> 00:02:34.050
the Father of lights, from the
00:02:34.110 --> 00:02:37.110
Father--oh, I don't even want to
00:02:37.110 --> 00:02:38.210
dissect this Scripture.
00:02:38.210 --> 00:02:39.260
If I get in that Scripture, I'm
00:02:39.260 --> 00:02:40.170
going to get lost in it.
00:02:40.170 --> 00:02:41.240
"From the Father of lights in
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:43.120
whom is no variableness, neither
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.280
shadow of turning."
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:48.040
He says, "I don't change.
00:02:48.040 --> 00:02:50.170
There's no variableness.
00:02:50.170 --> 00:02:52.070
There's no shifting in me.
00:02:52.100 --> 00:02:55.100
There's no turning in me.
00:02:55.100 --> 00:02:57.230
There's no changing me.
00:02:57.230 --> 00:02:59.270
There's no switching me.
00:02:59.270 --> 00:03:01.120
I am God, and besides me, there
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:03.190
is no other.
00:03:03.190 --> 00:03:04.200
I have no fluctuations, I'm
00:03:04.200 --> 00:03:07.030
rigid, I'm strong, I'm tough,
00:03:07.030 --> 00:03:09.050
I'm standing.
00:03:09.050 --> 00:03:10.080
If I blessed you, I blessed you.
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:12.040
If I curse you, I curse you.
00:03:12.040 --> 00:03:13.270
I'm God all by myself.
00:03:13.270 --> 00:03:15.270
I don't have to meet with the
00:03:15.270 --> 00:03:16.230
committee to do it.
00:03:16.230 --> 00:03:18.040
If I have decreed it, it is so.
00:03:18.040 --> 00:03:20.130
And my gifts and my callings are
00:03:20.130 --> 00:03:23.080
without repentance, meaning I
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.020
will not change my mind.
00:03:25.020 --> 00:03:27.020
If I told you I called you, I
00:03:27.020 --> 00:03:29.000
called you.
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:30.020
If I told you I wanted you, I
00:03:30.020 --> 00:03:31.200
wanted you.
00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:32.220
If I told you I need you, I need
00:03:32.220 --> 00:03:34.070
you.
00:03:34.070 --> 00:03:35.030
I know you're used to shaky
00:03:35.030 --> 00:03:36.050
people who will love you today
00:03:36.050 --> 00:03:38.020
and hate you tomorrow, applaud
00:03:38.020 --> 00:03:39.110
you today and crucify you
00:03:39.110 --> 00:03:40.190
tomorrow."
00:03:40.190 --> 00:03:41.170
He said, "But I'm not like them.
00:03:41.170 --> 00:03:42.200
There is no variableness.
00:03:42.200 --> 00:03:45.190
There is no shadow.
00:03:45.190 --> 00:03:47.120
Not only do I not turn, there's
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:48.220
no shadow.
00:03:48.220 --> 00:03:50.040
My shadow doesn't turn.
00:03:50.040 --> 00:03:52.030
You can count on me.
00:03:52.030 --> 00:03:54.070
Oh, my God.
00:03:54.070 --> 00:03:55.210
Glory to God.
00:03:55.210 --> 00:03:58.150
Touch your neighbor and tell
00:03:58.150 --> 00:03:59.030
them, "God hasn't changed his
00:03:59.030 --> 00:03:59.250
Wouldn't it be a tragedy to
00:04:07.020 --> 00:04:10.020
To have it and waste it?
00:04:15.190 --> 00:04:18.160
To know that he has not changed
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:19.190
his mind but you do every day.
00:04:22.060 --> 00:04:25.060
Wouldn't it be terrible for a
00:04:25.060 --> 00:04:27.090
stable God to love an unstable
00:04:27.090 --> 00:04:29.270
you, and you squander your
00:04:31.130 --> 00:04:34.130
gifts?
00:04:34.130 --> 00:04:35.090
You'd be shocked at the people
00:04:35.090 --> 00:04:36.090
who squander their gifts.
00:04:36.090 --> 00:04:38.120
It's one thing to not recognize
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:40.120
them.
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:41.180
It's another thing to recognize
00:04:41.180 --> 00:04:43.020
them and underutilize them.
00:04:44.170 --> 00:04:47.170
To waste them, to misappropriate
00:04:47.170 --> 00:04:49.260
them.
00:04:49.260 --> 00:04:51.060
The squandering of a gift is a
00:04:51.060 --> 00:04:52.250
terrible thing.
00:04:52.250 --> 00:04:54.020
It will always end on a sad
00:04:54.020 --> 00:04:55.290
tone.
00:04:55.290 --> 00:04:57.110
Remember the prodigal son?
00:04:57.110 --> 00:05:00.050
"Father, give me gift, give me
00:05:00.050 --> 00:05:02.080
gift, give me the portion of
00:05:02.080 --> 00:05:04.240
goods that cometh to me," and
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:07.100
immediately he took the gifts
00:05:07.100 --> 00:05:09.140
and went into a far country and
00:05:09.140 --> 00:05:12.130
squandered the gift, wasted the
00:05:12.130 --> 00:05:15.050
gift, used his gift to entertain
00:05:15.090 --> 00:05:18.090
people who had no appreciation
00:05:18.090 --> 00:05:20.080
for who he was.
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:24.040
He wasted his gifts.
00:05:24.100 --> 00:05:27.100
But before we get angry and
00:05:27.100 --> 00:05:28.220
crucify him, I'm wondering if
00:05:28.220 --> 00:05:31.140
there isn't some prodigal son in
00:05:31.140 --> 00:05:33.270
you.
00:05:34.090 --> 00:05:37.090
Did you take what God gave you
00:05:37.100 --> 00:05:40.100
and waste it?
00:05:40.170 --> 00:05:43.170
Maybe you wasted it for years
00:05:43.170 --> 00:05:45.290
and now you're waking up and
00:05:45.290 --> 00:05:47.150
think, "Wow, I could have been
00:05:47.150 --> 00:05:50.090
so much more than I was, but I
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.240
squandered my gift."
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:56.200
I met all kind of inmates who
00:05:56.200 --> 00:05:57.240
were gifted.
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.100
I've been in the homeless
00:05:59.100 --> 00:06:00.020
shelter and ran into people who
00:06:00.020 --> 00:06:01.250
could write, and sing, and draw
00:06:01.250 --> 00:06:03.100
and build and buy.
00:06:03.100 --> 00:06:04.280
Some of them, educated; some of
00:06:04.280 --> 00:06:06.060
them, intellectuals; some of
00:06:06.060 --> 00:06:07.100
them just with natural giftings.
00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:08.210
And I thought, "How in the
00:06:08.210 --> 00:06:11.020
world, did somebody like you end
00:06:12.140 --> 00:06:15.140
up in a place like there?
00:06:15.140 --> 00:06:17.280
They never recognized how to use
00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:19.040
They had a millionaire gift in a
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.110
They just didn't know what to do
00:06:38.050 --> 00:06:39.240
with what they had.
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:41.150
That's what makes this message
00:06:41.150 --> 00:06:42.250
important because it's about
00:06:42.250 --> 00:06:44.140
what you do with what you have.
00:06:46.150 --> 00:06:49.150
Even if all you have is time,
00:06:49.280 --> 00:06:52.280
what are you going to do with
00:06:53.100 --> 00:06:56.100
what you have?
00:06:56.110 --> 00:06:59.110
You must understand, many of us
00:06:59.110 --> 00:07:01.130
have squandered the gifts we've
00:07:01.130 --> 00:07:03.040
been given.
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.240
We've made all kinds of excuses
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:06.290
for it but we've wasted the
00:07:06.290 --> 00:07:08.120
gift.
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:09.050
We blame people for it but we've
00:07:09.050 --> 00:07:10.100
wasted the gift.
00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:11.210
How in the world are you going
00:07:11.210 --> 00:07:12.180
to let somebody do something to
00:07:12.180 --> 00:07:14.180
you when you was 5, and you 50
00:07:15.290 --> 00:07:18.290
and you still suffering?
00:07:19.190 --> 00:07:22.190
Excuse me, that's too much power
00:07:22.190 --> 00:07:24.120
to give somebody over top of me.
00:07:24.250 --> 00:07:27.250
I will arise and go to my
00:07:27.250 --> 00:07:30.020
Father's house.
00:07:30.020 --> 00:07:31.060
I will get back up out of this.
00:07:31.060 --> 00:07:32.290
I will.
00:07:32.290 --> 00:07:33.270
Touch your neighbor and say, "I
00:07:33.270 --> 00:07:34.170
will."
00:07:34.170 --> 00:07:36.150
Yeah, I had some rough
00:07:36.150 --> 00:07:37.210
experiences but I'm not going to
00:07:37.210 --> 00:07:38.250
let those experiences define my
00:07:38.250 --> 00:07:40.110
future.
00:07:40.110 --> 00:07:41.110
It was bad enough that it was in
00:07:41.110 --> 00:07:42.220
my present and you messed up my
00:07:42.220 --> 00:07:44.130
present, now you cannot have
00:07:44.130 --> 00:07:46.120
my--get off me.
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.060
You--get off me.
00:07:48.250 --> 00:07:51.250
Whoo, glory to God.
00:07:51.250 --> 00:07:54.090
Somebody shout out, "Get off
00:07:54.090 --> 00:07:55.100
me."
00:07:55.100 --> 00:07:56.040
- Bishop Jakes: You see,
00:08:06.200 --> 00:08:07.060
giftedness has responsibility.
00:08:07.130 --> 00:08:10.130
To him whom much is given, much
00:08:11.020 --> 00:08:14.020
is required.
00:08:14.020 --> 00:08:15.040
To him whom much is gifted, much
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:17.210
is required.
00:08:17.210 --> 00:08:19.030
The greater the gift, the
00:08:19.030 --> 00:08:20.240
greater the requirement.
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:23.120
You can't enjoy the gift and not
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:26.060
meet the requirement.
00:08:26.060 --> 00:08:28.230
I'm going to say that again.
00:08:28.230 --> 00:08:29.240
You cannot enjoy the gifts and
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:31.120
not meet the requirement.
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:32.270
Some people want to suck up the
00:08:32.270 --> 00:08:33.280
gift and think they have no
00:08:33.280 --> 00:08:34.290
responsibility.
00:08:34.290 --> 00:08:36.010
The more that's been given to
00:08:38.020 --> 00:08:38.250
you, the more that's required of
00:08:38.250 --> 00:08:40.030
you.
00:08:40.030 --> 00:08:40.270
You were happy on the taking end
00:08:40.270 --> 00:08:42.200
but not on the giving end.
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:43.140
That's not going to work.
00:08:43.140 --> 00:08:45.140
To him whom much is given, much
00:08:45.140 --> 00:08:48.110
is required.
00:08:48.110 --> 00:08:50.090
And I want to talk to you about
00:08:50.090 --> 00:08:51.110
how you manage your gift, and
00:08:51.110 --> 00:08:52.250
how you use your gift, because a
00:08:52.250 --> 00:08:54.160
gift has to be managed, even if
00:08:54.160 --> 00:08:56.230
the gift is an opportunity.
00:08:57.060 --> 00:09:00.080
What are you going to do with
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:01.000
what you've been given?
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.210
What are you--what you going to
00:09:05.100 --> 00:09:08.100
do with what you've been given?
00:09:08.100 --> 00:09:10.150
"I'm going to take the gift."
00:09:10.150 --> 00:09:11.150
I got that part but when you
00:09:11.150 --> 00:09:13.000
take the gift, understand
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.100
whether it's said or not, there
00:09:15.100 --> 00:09:17.030
is a reciprocity.
00:09:17.030 --> 00:09:18.190
There is always, always, always,
00:09:18.290 --> 00:09:21.290
a reciprocity.
00:09:21.290 --> 00:09:23.000
You can't just be saying, "My
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:24.070
name is Jimmy and I want you to
00:09:24.070 --> 00:09:25.040
give me."
00:09:25.040 --> 00:09:26.040
"No, Jimmy.
00:09:26.040 --> 00:09:26.290
When I get through, give me,
00:09:26.290 --> 00:09:28.050
you got to do something back."
00:09:28.050 --> 00:09:29.210
To him whom much is given, much
00:09:29.210 --> 00:09:32.060
is required.
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:35.120
So what is required of me for
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:36.230
the giftings I got?
00:09:36.230 --> 00:09:37.280
It's certainly not for you to
00:09:37.280 --> 00:09:38.250
sit on your hind end, and smile
00:09:38.250 --> 00:09:40.150
and look wonderful.
00:09:40.150 --> 00:09:42.240
You remember the parable about
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:43.260
the talents, and the Bible says
00:09:43.260 --> 00:09:46.140
that the man gave out the
00:09:46.140 --> 00:09:49.120
talents to the servants, and he
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.160
didn't give out the same amount,
00:09:51.160 --> 00:09:52.150
to one he gave five, and to one
00:09:52.150 --> 00:09:54.220
he gave two, and the other one
00:09:54.220 --> 00:09:55.290
he gave one.
00:09:55.290 --> 00:09:57.010
And the Bible said after that he
00:09:57.010 --> 00:09:57.260
had done that, he went away.
00:09:57.260 --> 00:09:59.260
There it is Matthew 25, "And
00:09:59.260 --> 00:10:02.040
unto one he gave five talents,
00:10:02.040 --> 00:10:03.060
to another two, and to another
00:10:03.060 --> 00:10:04.060
one; and to every man according
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:08.000
to his several ability."
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:09.240
He gives it to you on the basis
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:12.190
of your ability to handle it.
00:10:12.190 --> 00:10:14.190
God gives you what you can
00:10:14.190 --> 00:10:15.230
handle.
00:10:15.230 --> 00:10:17.070
God gives it to you according to
00:10:17.070 --> 00:10:18.090
your ability.
00:10:18.090 --> 00:10:19.050
And the very fact that he gives
00:10:19.050 --> 00:10:20.100
it to you is an indication that
00:10:20.100 --> 00:10:22.100
he has assessed your ability.
00:10:22.250 --> 00:10:25.250
He wouldn't give it to you if
00:10:25.250 --> 00:10:26.170
you couldn't handle it.
00:10:26.170 --> 00:10:28.220
So he gives it to them,
00:10:28.220 --> 00:10:29.170
"According to his several
00:10:29.170 --> 00:10:30.180
ability.
00:10:30.180 --> 00:10:31.070
Straightway, he took his
00:10:31.070 --> 00:10:31.230
Straightway, he took his
00:10:33.220 --> 00:10:34.140
journey.
00:10:34.140 --> 00:10:35.100
Then he that had received the
00:10:35.100 --> 00:10:37.010
five talents went and traded
00:10:37.010 --> 00:10:38.190
with the same, and made them
00:10:38.190 --> 00:10:40.050
other five talents."
00:10:40.050 --> 00:10:41.140
Look at that mentality.
00:10:41.140 --> 00:10:42.210
"I'm going to take it, I'm not
00:10:42.210 --> 00:10:43.280
just going to take it and hold
00:10:43.280 --> 00:10:45.060
on to it.
00:10:45.060 --> 00:10:46.000
I'm going to take it and turn it
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:47.000
into something."
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:48.290
Keep going.
00:10:48.290 --> 00:10:50.030
"Then he--and likewise he that
00:10:50.030 --> 00:10:51.170
had received two, he also gained
00:10:51.170 --> 00:10:53.270
another two."
00:10:53.270 --> 00:10:55.020
So even though he didn't have as
00:10:55.020 --> 00:10:56.060
much, he was working it on his
00:10:56.060 --> 00:10:57.280
level.
00:10:57.280 --> 00:10:58.190
You remember?
00:10:58.190 --> 00:10:59.080
I was teaching on this not too
00:10:59.080 --> 00:10:59.290
long ago.
00:10:59.290 --> 00:11:01.080
"But he that had received one,
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.030
went and digged in the earth and
00:11:03.030 --> 00:11:05.020
hid his Lord's money."
00:11:05.020 --> 00:11:06.280
He didn't, he didn't, he didn't
00:11:06.280 --> 00:11:09.140
He hid it.
00:11:12.030 --> 00:11:13.210
Have you hidden the very thing
00:11:24.040 --> 00:11:27.040
that God was going to use to
00:11:27.040 --> 00:11:29.000
Sitting on it and saying, "Well,
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:35.030
I didn't get as much as they
00:11:35.030 --> 00:11:36.070
got, and I can't sing like so
00:11:36.070 --> 00:11:37.200
and so, and I can't type like so
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.120
and so, and I can't build like
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:40.230
so and so."
00:11:40.230 --> 00:11:42.020
You should be excellent on your
00:11:42.020 --> 00:11:43.110
Brother two said, "I might not
00:11:47.270 --> 00:11:48.270
can get ten, but I think I can
00:11:48.270 --> 00:11:50.060
take this two and get four."
00:11:50.060 --> 00:11:52.220
Listen at the mindset.
00:11:52.220 --> 00:11:55.100
It wasn't about just taking and
00:11:55.100 --> 00:11:57.030
holding.
00:11:57.030 --> 00:11:58.120
It was about taking and
00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.120
increasing.
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.170
And then when he increased it,
00:12:01.170 --> 00:12:04.020
he turns it back over into the
00:12:04.020 --> 00:12:06.030
hands of the one who gave it.
00:12:06.280 --> 00:12:09.280
Reciprocity.
00:12:09.280 --> 00:12:11.040
"But wait a minute, preacher, if
00:12:11.040 --> 00:12:12.080
he had five and he made ten, and
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.090
the householder came and he gave
00:12:14.090 --> 00:12:15.240
him the whole ten, then what was
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:17.110
the good of doing it?"
00:12:17.110 --> 00:12:18.270
If you read the text, it brought
00:12:18.270 --> 00:12:21.060
him into another dimension.
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.200
"Well done, thou good and
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:26.190
faithful servant.
00:12:26.190 --> 00:12:27.150
You've been faithful over a few
00:12:27.150 --> 00:12:28.100
things.
00:12:28.100 --> 00:12:29.070
Now, I'm going to make you ruler
00:12:29.070 --> 00:12:31.120
over many," because you have
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.190
proven to be profitable.
00:12:35.190 --> 00:12:38.190
Paul says, "Receive Timothy.
00:12:38.190 --> 00:12:40.210
He has proven to be profitable
00:12:40.210 --> 00:12:43.010
unto me."
00:12:43.150 --> 00:12:46.150
People never let go of anything
00:12:46.150 --> 00:12:47.250
Are you profitable?
00:12:55.050 --> 00:12:58.050
For according to your ability
00:12:58.050 --> 00:12:59.270
and the level of giftings, or
00:12:59.270 --> 00:13:01.120
were you not even thinking about
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:02.150
profit?
00:13:02.190 --> 00:13:05.190
Do you understand that when God
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:08.200
gives you something, you're
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:10.070
supposed to turn it into
00:13:10.070 --> 00:13:11.190
something?
00:13:11.190 --> 00:13:14.190
You're supposed to do magic with
00:13:14.190 --> 00:13:15.270
that stuff.
00:13:15.270 --> 00:13:17.260
You're supposed, you're supposed
00:13:17.260 --> 00:13:18.200
to not only see it as it is but
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:21.000
see it as it shall be.
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.160
He gives your faith something to
00:13:23.160 --> 00:13:25.040
work on.
00:13:25.040 --> 00:13:26.190
Oh God, this is good to me.
00:13:27.250 --> 00:13:30.250
This is good to me.
00:13:30.250 --> 00:13:32.030
This is my stuff right here.

This is how you get up without
00:13:34.260 --> 00:13:36.100

in the room where changes are
00:14:12.230 --> 00:14:15.030
occurring, you are stuck in the

want to introduce a couple of
00:14:54.170 --> 00:14:55.160
guys to you that I think fit

real good into this

Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight

may not be big names to you, not

like George Washington, or

But Bill Bowerman and Phil
00:15:44.280 --> 00:15:46.170
Knight had thinking gifts, and
00:15:49.170 --> 00:15:52.170
they may not be famous because
00:15:52.170 --> 00:15:55.110
they don't have--I'm trying to
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:58.120
avoid using this term but I'mma
00:15:58.120 --> 00:15:59.250
use it 'cause it works for me.
00:15:59.250 --> 00:16:02.100
They don't have sexy gifts.
00:16:02.190 --> 00:16:05.190
And do you know what I mean by
00:16:05.190 --> 00:16:06.090
sexy gifts?
00:16:06.090 --> 00:16:07.150
I mean things that are flashy,
00:16:07.150 --> 00:16:09.080
and marketable, and transparent,
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:10.290
and opulent, and excessive and
00:16:10.290 --> 00:16:12.250
people enjoy gazing at them.
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:16.120
They had thinking gifts.
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:20.120
Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman.
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:23.040
I know it was a gift because
00:16:23.040 --> 00:16:25.290
they didn't even have the
00:16:25.290 --> 00:16:27.050
academics in the background for
00:16:27.050 --> 00:16:29.190
which they pursued.
00:16:29.190 --> 00:16:31.290
And there was no data to suggest
00:16:31.290 --> 00:16:34.190
that it was possible to do what
00:16:34.190 --> 00:16:36.170
they thought.
00:16:36.170 --> 00:16:38.030
In other words, their gift was
00:16:38.030 --> 00:16:39.080
taking them where no man had
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:41.110
ever gone before.
00:16:41.110 --> 00:16:43.080
And it's easy to retrace
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:45.020
somebody else's steps, but when
00:16:45.030 --> 00:16:48.030
you have a thinking gift, a
00:16:48.030 --> 00:16:49.280
mental gift, a creative gift,
00:16:49.280 --> 00:16:51.200
you see the invisible.
00:16:52.060 --> 00:16:55.060
You see treasure where other
00:16:55.060 --> 00:16:57.180
Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight
00:17:03.130 --> 00:17:05.030
had that going.
00:17:05.030 --> 00:17:06.230
When they looked at a waffle
00:17:06.230 --> 00:17:08.090
A waffle iron, I'm gonna give
00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:16.000
you a waffle iron and a tennis
00:17:16.010 --> 00:17:19.010
shoe, and I'm going to give you
00:17:19.010 --> 00:17:21.260
$500 and take your $500.
00:17:23.100 --> 00:17:26.100
And they took a waffle iron, a
00:17:26.100 --> 00:17:27.210
tennis shoe and a thousand
00:17:27.210 --> 00:17:29.080
The largest sportswear company
00:17:41.230 --> 00:17:44.150
in the world started with
00:17:45.150 --> 00:17:48.150
somebody who used their thinking
00:17:48.150 --> 00:17:51.020
gift, and they saw treasure
00:17:54.020 --> 00:17:57.020
where other people see trash.
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:00.180
You know how many people had
00:18:00.180 --> 00:18:01.170
been cooking waffles on that
00:18:01.170 --> 00:18:02.190
waffle iron?
00:18:02.190 --> 00:18:05.100
How many stinky feet had been in
00:18:05.100 --> 00:18:06.270
that tennis shoe?
00:18:06.270 --> 00:18:08.210
And all they saw was a tennis
00:18:08.210 --> 00:18:09.230
shoe and some breakfast?
00:18:09.230 --> 00:18:12.220
But Bill Bowerman and Phil
00:18:12.220 --> 00:18:13.220
Knight saw a multibillion-dollar
00:18:14.010 --> 00:18:17.010
corporation, and they didn't
00:18:17.010 --> 00:18:19.180
have no funding and they didn't
00:18:19.180 --> 00:18:20.170
have any backing.
00:18:20.170 --> 00:18:21.110
They started out with a thousand
00:18:21.110 --> 00:18:22.200
dollars.
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:23.120
You give $500 and you give $500.
00:18:23.120 --> 00:18:25.210
Are you investing in your gift,
00:18:26.010 --> 00:18:29.010
in your dream?
00:18:29.010 --> 00:18:31.220
Are you willing to feed what's
00:18:31.220 --> 00:18:32.250
feeding you or are you going to
00:18:32.250 --> 00:18:35.120
stay on the dimension of
00:18:35.120 --> 00:18:37.000
thinking that you've been on all
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:38.240
your life so that you can have
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:40.280
company with your friends?
00:18:42.130 --> 00:18:45.130
Do you--oh gosh.
00:18:45.130 --> 00:18:47.210
Do you dare to take the risk to
00:18:47.290 --> 00:18:50.290
jump out of the box, to cross
00:18:51.080 --> 00:18:54.080
the line, to say, "God has given
00:18:54.170 --> 00:18:57.170
me a gift, and it might not be a
00:18:57.280 --> 00:19:01.000
recording gift, and it might not
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:02.060
be a singing gift and it might
00:19:02.060 --> 00:19:03.100
not be a speaking gift, but it's
00:19:03.100 --> 00:19:04.200
a gift.
00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:05.180
My personality is a gift."
00:19:07.070 --> 00:19:10.070
I'm not talking about being rich
00:19:10.070 --> 00:19:10.280
or being famous.
00:19:10.280 --> 00:19:11.250
I'm talking about maximizing
00:19:11.250 --> 00:19:12.190
your life.
00:19:12.190 --> 00:19:14.080
I'm not trying to point you to
00:19:14.080 --> 00:19:14.290
Hollywood, I'm not trying to
00:19:14.290 --> 00:19:15.270
make you be a millionaire.
00:19:15.270 --> 00:19:17.040
I'm talking about maximizing
00:19:17.040 --> 00:19:18.020
your life.
00:19:18.020 --> 00:19:18.280
I'm challenging you who are
00:19:18.280 --> 00:19:20.230
You're not through yet.
00:19:29.250 --> 00:19:32.150
You're not through yet.
00:19:32.150 --> 00:19:33.080
You don't get to say when you
00:19:33.080 --> 00:19:34.150
quit.
00:19:34.150 --> 00:19:35.240
Every time you wake up in the
00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:37.010
morning and suck air, you got to
00:19:37.010 --> 00:19:38.130
do something with it.
00:19:38.130 --> 00:19:40.060
You got to do something with it.
00:19:40.060 --> 00:19:41.110
I don't care if you're 90 or 9
00:19:41.110 --> 00:19:43.150
years old, you got to do
00:19:43.150 --> 00:19:45.180
something with it.
00:19:47.170 --> 00:19:50.170
Forest, how old are you?
00:19:50.170 --> 00:19:51.260
- Forest: Eighty-five.
00:19:51.260 --> 00:19:52.190
- Bishop Jakes: He's 85 years
00:19:52.190 --> 00:19:54.210
old.
00:19:54.210 --> 00:19:55.120
Would you stand up for a minute?
00:19:55.120 --> 00:19:56.100
- [cheering/applauding]
00:20:02.210 --> 00:20:05.210
- Bishop Jakes: He's run
00:20:05.210 --> 00:20:06.090
companies, he's run businesses,
00:20:06.090 --> 00:20:07.160
he's a lawyer.
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:08.150
Eighty-five years old; he's
00:20:08.150 --> 00:20:09.240
still talking in business, and
00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:11.030
doing stuff, and doing deals and
00:20:11.030 --> 00:20:12.050
staying alive.
00:20:12.050 --> 00:20:13.060
If you stop moving, you are
00:20:13.060 --> 00:20:14.210
going to die.
00:20:14.210 --> 00:20:15.290
Every day you wake up and you
00:20:15.290 --> 00:20:17.260
suck in air, you got to keep it
00:20:17.260 --> 00:20:19.210
moving, baby, and work your
00:20:19.210 --> 00:20:21.190
Touch three people and say,
00:20:28.020 --> 00:20:28.220
"Join the team.
00:20:28.220 --> 00:20:29.170
Join the team.
00:20:29.170 --> 00:20:30.050
Join the team."
00:20:30.050 --> 00:20:32.190
The gifted team, Team Gifted.
00:20:32.190 --> 00:20:35.160
Join the team, Team Gifted.
00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:36.240
Join the team, Team Gifted.
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:38.040
Join the team, Team Gifted.
00:20:38.040 --> 00:20:39.140
Join the team, Team Gifted.
00:20:39.140 --> 00:20:41.080
Join the team, Team Gifted.
00:20:41.080 --> 00:20:43.040
Join the team, Team Gifted.
00:20:43.040 --> 00:20:45.110
This is how we praise the Lord,
00:20:45.110 --> 00:20:47.070
by doing something with what he
00:20:47.070 --> 00:20:48.210
gave us.
00:20:48.210 --> 00:20:49.180
I don't care if you dance till
00:20:49.180 --> 00:20:50.220
your feet come off.
00:20:50.220 --> 00:20:52.020
If you don't do something with
00:20:52.020 --> 00:20:53.050
what he gave you, you are not
00:20:53.050 --> 00:20:55.050
a praise unto God until you
00:20:55.050 --> 00:20:57.060
- Bishop Jakes: Bill Bowerman
00:21:04.030 --> 00:21:04.240
and Phil Knight gathered the
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:06.230
gifted and started a
00:21:06.230 --> 00:21:07.190
corporation.
00:21:07.190 --> 00:21:08.210
The church survives through
00:21:08.210 --> 00:21:10.010
gathering the gifted, the
00:21:10.010 --> 00:21:11.150
gathering of the gifted.
00:21:11.150 --> 00:21:12.110
It's not one musician, it's
00:21:12.110 --> 00:21:13.160
several.
00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:14.130
It's not one artist, it's
00:21:14.130 --> 00:21:15.080
several.
00:21:15.080 --> 00:21:16.000
It's not one choir member, it's
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:16.280
several.
00:21:16.280 --> 00:21:17.200
You'd be surprised what the
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:18.270
gifted are doing right now that
00:21:18.270 --> 00:21:20.110
makes this service go.
00:21:20.110 --> 00:21:22.010
There are the IT people making
00:21:22.010 --> 00:21:23.130
sure that we're streaming
00:21:23.130 --> 00:21:24.170
correctly, that nobody's hacking
00:21:24.170 --> 00:21:26.030
our lives or getting through
00:21:26.030 --> 00:21:27.060
what we're trying to do.
00:21:27.060 --> 00:21:28.100
There are cameramen and
00:21:28.100 --> 00:21:29.080
directors, and coordinators.
00:21:29.080 --> 00:21:30.240
Who's moving this way, who's
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:31.250
moving that way?
00:21:31.250 --> 00:21:32.210
Coordinators: this has got to be
00:21:32.210 --> 00:21:33.140
right, this has got to be left.
00:21:33.140 --> 00:21:34.220
There's security people moving,
00:21:34.220 --> 00:21:36.040
there are medical people moving,
00:21:36.040 --> 00:21:37.170
there's somebody in the office
00:21:37.170 --> 00:21:38.130
typing, somebody tweeting and
00:21:38.130 --> 00:21:40.120
responding to tweets, and on
00:21:40.120 --> 00:21:41.150
Facebook doing all kinds of
00:21:41.150 --> 00:21:42.180
stuff while I'm doing what I'm
00:21:42.180 --> 00:21:43.210
doing.
00:21:43.210 --> 00:21:44.160
I didn't get here by myself.
00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:46.100
It's the gathering.
00:21:46.180 --> 00:21:49.180
Whoo.
00:21:49.180 --> 00:21:52.130
Glory to God.
00:21:52.130 --> 00:21:54.080
Glory to God.
00:21:54.080 --> 00:21:55.130
Somebody setting up for another
00:21:55.130 --> 00:21:56.180
meeting that's going to go on
00:21:56.180 --> 00:21:57.180
after church.
00:21:57.180 --> 00:21:58.080
Somebody's moving chairs,
00:21:58.080 --> 00:21:59.020
setting up tables, moving in
00:21:59.020 --> 00:22:00.030
files while I'm preaching,
00:22:00.030 --> 00:22:01.130
gathering the gifted.
00:22:01.130 --> 00:22:02.210
You might not be an
00:22:02.210 --> 00:22:03.150
entrepreneur.
00:22:03.150 --> 00:22:04.130
You might somebody who helps an
00:22:04.130 --> 00:22:05.170
entrepreneur but you need to be
00:22:05.170 --> 00:22:07.040
around people where you have
00:22:07.040 --> 00:22:08.070
purpose, and meaning, and life
00:22:08.070 --> 00:22:10.090
and it's time for you to gather
00:22:10.090 --> 00:22:11.200
the gifted rather than hang
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:13.110
Touch somebody and say, "Join
00:22:21.140 --> 00:22:22.020
the team."
00:22:22.020 --> 00:22:23.040
- all: "Join the team."
00:22:23.040 --> 00:22:24.080
- Bishop Jakes: Join the team.
00:22:24.080 --> 00:22:25.130
And in order to join the team,
00:22:25.130 --> 00:22:26.110
you got to package yourself
00:22:26.110 --> 00:22:27.110
right, you got to package
00:22:27.110 --> 00:22:28.130
yourself right, 'cause you don't
00:22:28.130 --> 00:22:29.240
just throw gifts at people just
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:31.090
any kind of way.
00:22:31.090 --> 00:22:32.150
My mother used to do that.
00:22:32.150 --> 00:22:33.270
When she got old, she got tired
00:22:33.270 --> 00:22:34.230
of wrapping stuff, and she'd
00:22:34.230 --> 00:22:36.050
just say, "Here."
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:40.000
And it was nice, it was nice, it
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:41.150
was nice.
00:22:41.150 --> 00:22:42.110
My brother and sister are
00:22:42.110 --> 00:22:42.290
laughing because they know I'm
00:22:42.290 --> 00:22:43.250
right about it.
00:22:43.250 --> 00:22:44.250
Everybody else was having their
00:22:44.250 --> 00:22:45.160
gift all wrapped up with a bow
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:46.210
on it.
00:22:46.210 --> 00:22:47.150
Mama would come here with it in
00:22:47.150 --> 00:22:48.150
a bag, and talking about, "I
00:22:48.150 --> 00:22:49.260
don't feel like wrapping
00:22:49.260 --> 00:22:50.150
nothing.
00:22:50.150 --> 00:22:51.020
Here child."
00:22:51.020 --> 00:22:52.270
Kind of killed the joy of it,
00:22:52.270 --> 00:22:55.130
because in order to fully
00:22:55.130 --> 00:22:56.190
appreciate a gift, it has to be
00:22:56.190 --> 00:22:58.160
packaged right.
00:22:58.160 --> 00:22:59.270
And I'm not questioning are you
00:22:59.270 --> 00:23:01.230
gifted, I'm questioning are you
00:23:01.230 --> 00:23:03.280
packaged right for where you're
00:23:03.280 --> 00:23:06.070
trying to go?
00:23:06.070 --> 00:23:07.110
You got to change--Oh, God, let
00:23:07.110 --> 00:23:09.010
me quit.
00:23:09.010 --> 00:23:09.210
Bishop Jakes: See, see, I'm
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:13.260
teaching on what I have written
00:23:13.260 --> 00:23:15.140
about.
00:23:15.140 --> 00:23:16.080
And this stuff that's in
00:23:16.080 --> 00:23:17.050
instincts, I'm fired up about
00:23:17.050 --> 00:23:18.070
it.
00:23:18.070 --> 00:23:18.290
I've been holding it for a year.
00:23:18.290 --> 00:23:20.010
I got to pull myself back
00:23:20.010 --> 00:23:21.100
because I see people every day
00:23:21.100 --> 00:23:22.290
who have wonderful talents but
00:23:22.290 --> 00:23:24.170
they're poorly packaged.
00:23:24.170 --> 00:23:25.290
And if you're not packaged
00:23:25.290 --> 00:23:26.220
right, you won't maximize your
00:23:26.220 --> 00:23:28.190
potential.
00:23:28.190 --> 00:23:29.160
Most people package themselves
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:31.170
based on where they were rather
00:23:31.170 --> 00:23:33.200
than where they're going, but
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:35.030
you got to package for where
00:23:35.030 --> 00:23:36.160
you're going.
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:37.170
Oh, y'all don't hear what I'm
00:23:37.170 --> 00:23:38.100
saying.
00:23:38.100 --> 00:23:39.030
Oh, touch somebody and say,
00:23:39.030 --> 00:23:41.030
"Wrap that thing.
00:23:41.030 --> 00:23:42.020
Wrap that thing.
00:23:42.020 --> 00:23:42.290
Because when you are wrapped
00:23:47.150 --> 00:23:48.200
right, you're not afraid to sit
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:50.230
amongst other gifted people.
00:23:50.230 --> 00:23:52.250
You are prepared for the
00:23:52.250 --> 00:23:53.260
occasion and ready to step in
00:23:53.260 --> 00:23:55.150
the moment.
00:23:55.150 --> 00:23:56.160
The only time you don't feel
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:57.170
good about yourself is when
00:23:57.170 --> 00:23:59.110
other people are packaged and
00:23:59.110 --> 00:24:00.250
you are not.
00:24:00.250 --> 00:24:01.280
Did you ever notice that mama
00:24:01.280 --> 00:24:03.080
never put her presents up under
00:24:03.080 --> 00:24:04.150
the tree?
00:24:04.150 --> 00:24:05.210
It wasn't because the presents
00:24:05.210 --> 00:24:06.200
weren't good.
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:07.220
It's because they weren't
00:24:07.220 --> 00:24:08.200
packaged.
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:09.210
When a present is packaged
00:24:09.210 --> 00:24:10.150
right, it could be displayed
00:24:10.150 --> 00:24:12.130
amongst other gifts that are
00:24:12.130 --> 00:24:13.220
packaged right, and it can take
00:24:13.220 --> 00:24:15.070
its seat and shine.
00:24:15.170 --> 00:24:18.170
Oscar didn't have to be
00:24:18.170 --> 00:24:19.120
intimidated by me.
00:24:19.120 --> 00:24:20.240
He could worship like he
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:21.270
worships.
00:24:21.270 --> 00:24:22.250
Jamar can play like he plays.
00:24:22.250 --> 00:24:24.220
All the drummers could be like
00:24:24.220 --> 00:24:26.050
they be because all of 'em know
00:24:26.050 --> 00:24:27.190
who they are.
00:24:27.190 --> 00:24:28.210
And when you're packaged right,
00:24:28.210 --> 00:24:30.080
you can sit amongst the gifted
00:24:30.080 --> 00:24:32.000
and we could, "All things can
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:33.150
work together for the good of
00:24:33.150 --> 00:24:35.110
them that love the Lord, who are
00:24:35.110 --> 00:24:37.130
the called according to his
00:24:37.130 --> 00:24:39.010
purpose."
00:24:39.010 --> 00:24:39.270
My God, I feel the power of the
00:24:39.270 --> 00:24:42.070
Holy Ghost in this place.
00:24:42.070 --> 00:24:44.110
This is your time.
00:24:44.110 --> 00:24:46.120
This is your season.
00:24:46.120 --> 00:24:48.120
This is your moment.
00:24:48.120 --> 00:24:50.170
This is your second.
00:24:50.170 --> 00:24:52.070
Jump on your feet and holla,
00:24:52.070 --> 00:24:53.150
I'm gifted.
00:25:01.130 --> 00:25:03.020
I'm not going to hide it
00:25:03.020 --> 00:25:03.260
anymore.
00:25:03.260 --> 00:25:04.290
I'm not going to walk it down
00:25:04.290 --> 00:25:06.070
anymore.
00:25:06.070 --> 00:25:07.040
I'm not going to bury it
00:25:07.040 --> 00:25:07.280
anymore.
00:25:07.280 --> 00:25:09.000
I'm going to package what God
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:10.210
gave me.
00:25:10.210 --> 00:25:11.280
This is my season.
00:25:11.280 --> 00:25:14.130
For the next five minutes, I
00:25:14.130 --> 00:25:15.270
want every gifted thing in this
00:25:15.270 --> 00:25:17.190
[music]

00:25:33.150 --> 00:25:35.020
to be a part of Team Gifted.
00:25:35.020 --> 00:25:37.160
We are people who are allowing
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:39.060
God to use all that he has
00:25:39.060 --> 00:25:40.240
placed in us for his glory.
00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:42.140

- Bishop Jakes: A pacemaker's
00:26:04.060 --> 00:26:05.000
design is to take a heart that's
00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:06.190
not in rhythm, and get it back
00:26:06.190 --> 00:26:08.100

the hardship and understand that
00:26:24.130 --> 00:26:27.080
the devil wouldn't be fighting
00:26:27.080 --> 00:26:29.040
me if God wasn't about to bless
