gibla fire you're giving it on either side this is not my morning offering this is specifically I'm coming into agreement that God has given me to beat back that demon called cancer even if it is the cancer runs in your family and you need it to stop because you don't want it to in fact visit your children and your grandchildren or even yourself hallelujah I'm telling you them the Bible said they went to at the Pool of Bethesda and that the troubling of the water whoever jumped in they got healed and immediately something stirred up in them I want those of you who are coming into agreement as this pastor I know that this is a season of series that we're dealing with financial debt but I just felt released in that way I don't care if you're giving it on cash yep to be empowered as our address there or whether you're giving it on gibelove fire whether you're giving it in this room but I just want to give a seat pastor why am I giving it I'm telling God thank you in advance before

talking to a friend of mine last night whose mother has cancer in four different areas four different kinds of cancer at the exact same time but I believe that God is a healer I believe that God is a waymaker I'm crazy enough to believe that God can do anything but fail come on even if you gotta use your cash Shep I want you to do that even if you're going by give Allah fire hallelujah and have to be an exorbitant amount it could be five hundred fifty $20 but I want to give something on now God friends would in a series called getting out of the red ridiculous economic decisions everybody in the room from this pastor to the person you sitting beside has made some bad financial decisions and we're gonna need God to help us get out of it we're going through this month a a book that we're going to read together and I want you to get it the book is called you should not live talented and broke should not live talented and broke how many of you believe that you got a talent come on how many of you believe you're gifted how many of you know your finance doesn't match your gift finance that match your gift as a consequence I want you to get that book it's gonna help you to marry both of those so that they'll be able to in fact coexist together I don't want you to be gifted and struggling I want you to be gifted and soaring hope that you have that but secondly I want you to be mindful of our website of the month that we're patronizing is sheknows.com Chino store.com it's a website that helps you by all of your household supplies and all of your personal effects you'll be able to get it from black-owned manufacturers from laundry detergent and deodorant to toothpastes and everything in between manufactured from black companies black corporations I want you to please support it over the course of the summer as well as I want to encourage you that you share it with loved ones and co-workers and friends alike if you have your Bible I want you to go to Romans chapter 8 and I want you to stand roman chef de very familiar passage of scripture and I hope all intents of preaching purposes their familiarity does not breed contempt Romans chapter 8 verse 28 as is our custom I'm in the NIV Romans 8 verse 28 once you've found it won't you declare pastor I got it come on let's read it together and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him who have been called according to his purpose come on let's read it again like you believed that Scripture is tailor-made for you everybody and we know here's the remix all things work together for good to those who love him and are called according to his purpose you may be seated please I want you to arm yourself with a writing instrument I've encouraged you you are welcome to bring your laptop your tablet or even your smart device if you have a smartphone there is an app that is provided for you for free they came with your phone that allows you to take notes as that you'll go to it there are a couple of principles points keys and principles that I believe are going to serve you long after this day is over my 10th grade teacher told me that the shortest pencil is more depends of more dependable than the longest memory I know you think you don't remember but by Tuesday you'll forget but if you have your notes you'll always be able to go back to it I want to teach I want to share I want to preach today using as a subject I've learned from my mistakes I've learned from my mistakes would you look at the person beside you tell them that for me please I've learned from my mistakes they don't believe you look at the person on the other side and tell them I hope you've learned from your mistakes my dear friends in the National periodical called nature communications it was published how an MRI disclosed that making a mistake can make you feel good making a mistake can make you feel good only if our brains are able to learn from that mistake the scientists conducted three trials one that followed avoidance based learning another that followed reward based learning and the third they're tested whether people learned from their mistakes the defining discovery was late to avoiding a punishment interestingly if we make a mistake but learn from that mistake we treat it as a reward by our brains because on some level we expected to be punished for it John Maxwell said this you must be big enough to admit your mistakes smart enough to profit from them and strong enough to correct them would you repeat that after me and must be big enough to admit my mistakes smart enough to profit from them and strong enough to correct them come on let's say it again every person that's in this room I want us to have it together come on declare it I must be big enough to admit my mistakes smart enough to profit from them and strong enough to correct them far from the university but in urban centers there's a colloquial expression utilized to admit a mistake and apologize without an apology to join you there to apologize without an apology the street terminology is my bad so I step on your shoe my bad so I'm not apologizing I'm just acknowledging it is flipping it is course it is casual and it's not even meaningful but there is something to be said from a believer that is mature enough to acknowledge their mistake address it and then learn from it think about Ruth Wakefield I don't know have you ever heard of Ruth Wakefield she was the owner of Toll House Inn and her in became popular because people always came to her little Inn for chocolate cookies while mixing a batch of cookies she realized that she was out of baker's chocolate but found in her purse in her purse a chocolate bar she broke up pieces of that chocolate bar put it in the cookie dough and she expected the chocolate to melt and make chocolate cookies much to her amazement the chocolate didn't melt it stayed in the pieces and out of that mistake today we have chocolate chip cookies they're people that expected you to melt under the pressure they broke you into pieces put fire under your life and anticipated you not be able to keep it together but they had no idea that your resilience helps you keep it together with the little pieces you got left because there was something to be said about the anointing that's on your life I don't know whether you've ever heard of Sir Alexander Fleming he was trying to discover a one drug that would cure all diseases but it wasn't until he threw away his experiment that he actually found what he was looking for slimming notice that a contaminated petri dish he discarded contained a mold that it was in fact dissolving all the bacteria around it and when he grew the mold by itself he learned that it contained a powerful antibiotic that we now know as penicillin he founded what's this by accident I want to say to you that your enemy's biggest mistake was leaving you by yourself not realizing that after you got discarded is when you were get developed they thought when they threw you away that would be the end of you but they had no idea that your potency was in your rejection it was only after you left me that I discovered Who I am and you gonna have to live with your biggest mistake in 1905 there was an 11 year old boy in San Francisco his name was Frank Epperson he was outside drinking soda and he left for stirring stick in it his mother called him inside because he was late for curfew and in his lace he left the soda outside left it outside with the stirring stick in it and now because it was left overnight it froze by accident he discovered the popsicle it needed no utensils and was completely self-sufficient this happened to him when he was 11 years old and he'd never applied for a patent until he was 34 because he thought in all that time somebody else would alert from his mistake but nobody did I want you to know it was a mistake leaving you out in the cold because where it is that they left you you learn self-sufficiency you learned that there you are not going to be rescued that there gonna be some days you gonna have to travail by yourself but by the time you meet me again you gonna find that I picked myself up because God gave me all the internal tools in order for me to survive my dear friends I hope that you'll go to that place where you're able to take notes because there are three ministries that God has given to your mistakes three ministries that are in your mistakes they're three things God is going to use your mistake for that will be valuable to your ministry your mistakes number one write this down your mistakes mold your mind your mistakes mold your mind dr. Jason Moser from Michigan State University suggests that making mistakes allows you the opportunity to pay more attention making mistakes helps you incorporate new information that improves performance I'm telling you all this weekend the Cavs are gonna be looking at them games what went wrong who dropped the ball who ran in the wrong direction your mistake is a wake-up call to identify your error had it not gone wrong you wouldn't know what to improve lazy people except the mess up did y'all hear what I just said lazy people except the mess up please whatever it is that you do don't fall in love with somebody who can't own up to their mistake because if they cannot own up to the mistake and they'll find a way to blame you I'm preaching better than y'all of responder mode your mind it molds your mind so that you are able to figure out how can I make this better how can I make it stronger how can I improve the area that is a deficit a liability and an obvious place of vulnerability the first thing that mistakes do is they mold your mind the second thing that mistakes do watch this write this down mistakes motivate your mission mistakes motivate your mission would you repeat that after me my mistake motivates my mission in the Social Psychology Bulletin is said watch this students have greater sense of self-awareness after failing students end up doing better if they failed before people who have always been successful have a problem finding motivation after failure somebody's motivated will then come to themselves and say I'm smarter than this I'm better than this God knows if they pay us I should have passed y'all they never been there come on now you know you ain't no idiot you may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but you ain't that dull the greatest thing that can happen is understanding your failure I was let in the Morehouse College I was led into Morehouse College on academic probation letting on academic probation because I had no SATs had never been on Honor Roll and I got a GED he said your standard of whether it is that you can stay in this honorable institution is you got to be able to meet the need and cut the mustard so while the rest of the people in my dorm are out in the club turning it up I'm trying to finish that paper why because their parents were writing a check I'm on probation if I don't pay us I'm kicked out if they don't pay us they get scolded y'all are missing it see sometimes you got to have a greater level of understanding what I'm up against so people who don't understand your drive don't understand the failure you climb down dog so I work this hard not for stuff but because I'm scared of being broke again and I can't ever go back to how I used to live cuz I know that nobody gonna rescue me nobody is gonna show up I gotta learn how to do it for myself cuz I'm depending on me and because I'm depending on me I got no room for failure you see anybody in this place that understand I gotta make this work I gotta come out on top I gotta cut the mustard because there is no plan B it is my motivation to be able to do it third watch this his mistakes remove the mystery mistakes remove the mystery the first ministry that comes out of a mistake the FIR one is mistakes do what come on class y'all slept in this morning y'all the last class of today the first thing that mistakes

for that Michael Jordan said famously many years ago a missed shot is better than a shot you never took the joke hear what I just said a missed shot is better than the shot you never took it is better for you to go for it and fail than to beat yourself up for never trying sometimes I'm gonna help somebody sometimes failure is success y'all forgot that Jesus was walking on the water when he walks on the water Peter says Lord if that's you let me come to where you are and Jesus said if you got that kind of faith come on come on out here so Peter starts walking on the water watch this and the people that are talking about him the that are laughing at him are still on the boat he begins to sink and Jesus takes him by the hair I want you to commend yourself on the fact at least I tried it may not have worked out in not as head still a results but at least I went for it and all the folk that are scrutinizing me are still on the boat but is there anybody here that I'm glad I died trying
