Thriving Beyond Fear and Setbacks

so getting on top of the world doesn't only take getting geared up it takes not being afraid you can't be afraid to hit the mountain you can't be afraid to hit the bumps you can't be afraid to go further than you thought you were gonna go you can't be afraid to take it all the way to the top because the fact of the matter is where you've been called to go if it's not scaring you it ain't god it's not that you'll never feel fear real faith is feeling the fear and saying i'm going on anyway i'm gonna go ahead and take it [Music] all [Music] it's a beautiful day and sometimes we start thinking about just trying to survive life like regardless of what the day is like today happens to be really nice the temperature is perfect i'm not even sweating outside but a lot of times we're like uh i just need to survive i just need to get through this thing and then in places of nature it's like the little things can like throw something off if you have like a bunch of little locusts all come here at one time boom they start eating up all the trees and then things get thrown off and it's kind of like life kind of like this spider right here this little bitty spider could cause me a lot of fear and a lot of problem and in this day where i should be thriving i could be thinking about surviving because oh my gosh the spider's gonna get me and he's on me and he's eating my hair and we get all thrown off by fear by insecurity by pride by feeling like we need to give up and you're not called to that you're not called to survive you're called to thrive we're called to get rid of those little things we're get not you might not be fearless but you might be able to fear less if you just get rid of the spider webs in your life and get rid of those little things that are trying to get away from you and just thrive in life and i want to help you do that that's why we're having a women's conference coming up i'm telling you what i have some friends coming in from everywhere to encourage you to talk you out of well if i can just get my next meal mentality into being all god called you to be because he's called you to be so much oh i got tim hawkins world-renowned comedian

created you for forget these silly spiders you got this [Music] does anybody have a pen okay could you bring me a penny that would be awesome i'll take that thank you does anybody else have a penny i mean people don't have coins these days right oh you got a penny i love it i love this it's a penny how many of you know it's not hard to part thank you it's not hard to part with a penny is it oh i got three pennies i am rolling in pennies don't mess with me oh i got two pizzas six pennies how many of you know i can almost buy a piece of gum okay so i'm gonna go i'm good so how about this would you like me would you like me to give you these pennies how many people would take a penny a day oh seven a penny a day you got a penny today we'll double it tomorrow double it the next day or you'd want a million dollars who wants a million dollars i know right how many ways could we spend that i was thinking because how many of you know me and these seven since we're not getting very far are we we're not we're not getting very far if i go to starbucks i don't even have a tip um you know so i mean a penny's not even like a drop since we're dripping we'll just say a penny is not even like a drop in the bucket right the pennies don't seem to count but what counts is what i want to talk about tonight it's the little things that we overlook that seem to add up and covet year how many of you were tempted to quit something if not everything i tell you what the immense value of simply not quitting commitment is your key to your breakthrough you can give up or you can get up and let me tell you that success is simply getting up one more time then you fall down and the only way to fail is to stay down when you fall down the only way to fail no you don't see i fell down get back up that wasn't failure that was a learning experience you don't understand i've been bankrupt me too you don't understand i've been foreclosed on me too you don't understand i've been divorced me too you don't understand i've been homeless me too i didn't understand i ate out of a food pantry me too you don't understand i was raped me too you don't understand i've been molested me too you don't understand i was a teenage unwed mother me too you don't understand i've been on medicaid me too all we gotta do is not give up we just gotta get up so here's the thing about gearing up to face your fear you gotta gear up to face your fear you're gonna have to face fear to get to the top and the thing is once we get on the road headed towards the top why is it that we get so freaked out when something derails us just a little bit so we were on the way up here and we knew one of the inner tube tires was a little low back before we even got started and you might be thinking well i have this temptation to kind of go into anger real easily or you might be thinking i know that every time i get to close to success i just find a reason to opt out or you might be thinking i don't have the money it takes to go all the way i don't take have the talent that it takes to go to the top and actually we were on our way here today and i was praying and the scripture in joshua came up to me and it said arise to go into that new country it actually says three times in like four verses do not fear do not be afraid don't yield to your fear here's the thing you're gonna finally be heading the right way you're gonna finally get over that first hurdle you're going to finally start getting on the road and be like now i can relax and then the enemy's going to come up with something so we thought it was this inner tube tire right we thought it was the thing we expected it to be you know how well i expected to have trouble with the bank i expected like i expected not to have the people i needed but i didn't expect my best friend to betray me i didn't expect my business partner to go crazy on me i didn't expect my spouse to walk out on me i didn't expect my kids to end up drug addicted i didn't expect you're gonna have this unexpected thing well you have this unexpected thing going on right now we have the whole valve stem so the whole thing won't hold air at all the air just keeps shoving out otherwise we'd be stuck on top of this mountain as well do i look like i'm sweating it no i'm not sweating it and you shouldn't be sweating it either the key is not to be fearless the key is to fear less let the stuff come because it's going to that's the opportunity to stand in faith it doesn't take faith to do the things that are easy it doesn't take faith to walk when everything's going right god is the same place he's always been large and in charge in control ready for you to start trusting him and say did you not think that i didn't know you were gonna run into this did you not think that i was gonna send two guys who know exactly what they're doing and bring your big old six foot three 200 pound son to help him i don't even have to figure out the problem you don't even have to figure out the problem why god's got it figured out he made a way before we even knew we had a problem god sent the right people with the right gear to be here at the right time to solve the problem so we can move on so god's got this let's go have some fun [Music] are you ready to stop surviving and start thriving don't miss this year's women's conference we'll help you to climb to heights that you could have never got to still the enemy come at me one way he will flee in seven i'm a warrior i'm pulling my sword come at me bro and when you don't allow yourself to heal you keep attracting the same people with different faces reason to be jealous of anybody else's gifts and talents because god called you here for such a time as this sometimes my wife gets mad at me for behaving wrong in her dreams a grizzly bear was chasing me through the woods with his teeth he was going to eat me and you did nothing tickets are going fast get yours today at

have been that way they would have been these little saplings there would have been a lot less trees things grow over time you're going to grow over time your life is going to grow over time your courage is going to grow over time your faith is going to grow over time do you know what the key is consistency commitment i always like to say the immense value of simply not quitting is the key to the breakthrough commitment to leaning into god leaning into his purpose his purpose his purpose did you hear me say purpose because you have a purpose you were purposed you were created you were destined and just the way these trees love being in all of this water which is gonna flood out most trees and they're not gonna like it you have a purpose and you were created this weird different unique way to be just who you are just where you are not to barely make it and have yellow leaves and almost die no to thrive and be beautiful and to multiply and get bigger and get stronger and produce more and i'm gonna help pull that out of you with some of my friends at our women's conference called thrive i'm telling you what real talk kim do you know who she is she's a social media

just a minute it says then jesus told his disciples a story a parable to show them that they should always pray and not they should pray always and not every now and then you gotta just keep doing it you gotta do it when nobody's talking about you and you gotta do it when everybody's talking about you and by everybody talking about you i mean when they're hating on you and they're telling you you can't when they're telling you you shouldn't when they're telling you you don't qualify when you're telling you you suck when they're telling you to shut up you keep doing it the louder they hate the harder you work because you can give up or you can [Applause] i don't know royal palm i think they might be out cheering y'all here so she goes you got to keep coming y'all haters gonna hate haters gonna hate so i can either let that defeat me or i can let that fuel me what happens when they hate on you and you do it anyway you let the hate develop you not defeat you i'm gonna tell you that one more time you let the hate develop you not defeat you what you do come on somebody you take that development it's one drip in your bucket it's one more penny in your pocket and here's the thing when you use the hurt to develop you you get stronger you get bigger and the things that used to hurt you they just start to roll off you like a duck's back that little drip comes after you and it drips and it just rolls right off and it drips and it rolls right off and you might be like but i can't stand the heat well if you can't stand the heat you need to reconsider the immense value and simply

a palm tree all working together because they both want the sun and it's really shady here so you know what this tree did it said i need the sun the s-u-n the s-o-n you see where i'm going here so i'm

have i don't have a nervous tic talking about your words i'm wondering what kind of drip that we have in our life what are the negative words that we're saying what are the negative statements that we have what is the doubt that we have in what god can do for us what is the doubt that we have that we can do when god says no i want you to walk by faith and not by sight i want you to believe me when you think it's impossible because with god all things are possible i said in the high god book i said our faith does not even begin until our ability ends so it's not until we reach the end of us it's not until we reach the end of our strength the end of our knowledge the end of our ideas the end of our money and then we're going oh my gosh i'm at the end of me and we freak out and that's when like god is like finally i'm finally opened up i can do something the problem with a positive drip and a negative drip is both of the drips add up it was just nobody like if you were thirsty you would not go to this faucet to drink but over time the drip adds up so if your negative drip like well it doesn't matter if i say it this one time drip it doesn't i can't do that drip i'm never gonna find a man whoa no oh wow i'm never gonna find a man i just hate people i'm just negative i just i'm always fat i just every time i walk past a bakery i gain weight my back goes out more than i do you know i'm just getting old i've got that old-timer's brain no you're dripping negativity at a rapid rate um connell can we come here for a second you see what happens is eventually the drips going to overflow this is going to overflow i want to take this cup is there any way you could like handle the drip while i steal the cup can you figure out some something to do yeah come on over can can you i just want the cup for a minute so can you [Laughter] so i don't do how are you [Applause] you got to do something to manage the drip because the drip is going to continue and eventually the very thing that you thought wasn't going to measure up to anything let's go back to this penny would you rather have a penny today or a million dollars but what if i told you tomorrow i'd give you twice as many pennies for 30 days keep giving you twice as many pennies doesn't look like anything it's a drip except for on day one it's a penny and on day two it's two pennies on day three it's four and then it's eight and then it's 16 then it's 32 then it's 64 then it's 128 that's 256 and it's 512 and 124 and 2048. wait a minute we're only about a week in by day 30 it is 5 million 368 000 and some change from a penny from a drip and here's what i know about you with god all things are possible and greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world and his promises for you they are yes and they are amen and before you were in your mother's womb he knew you and he called you out of the darkness and into his marvelous light he knows who you are you are purpose you are destined and you are
