- Hey, I'm Terri, your cheerleader of dreams.
Today, I wanna share with you what determines
if your breakthrough is coming.
Now first, let me tell you a story
I heard about Dr. Paul Osteen, I love a good prop.
Now, this is Joel Osteen's brother, he's a medical doctor.
Well years ago, he was so stressed out,
now he's the Chief of Surgery,
he was the Chief of Surgery for 17 years
at a hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Had three kids under the age of six,
working like 80 hours a week,
then he would go home change diapers, feed kids,
babies waking up in the middle of the night,
and he was just wiped out,
he was not enjoying life, just kind of enduring life.
Well, one day something happened
that just changed his perspective.
This elderly woman, Ella,
that he had treated for years,
had just had a minor surgery,
and a few months earlier, she lost her husband of 50 years.
Well as usual, Paul was running
through the hospital that day,
he was late for an operation,
plus he had another patient to see,
so he was just kinda rushing through Ella's exam.
All of a sudden, she asked Dr. Paul,
if she could talk to him about something real quick,
well, he thought it was gonna be a medical question
but instead she said,
Dr. Paul, you are so stressed out,
I just wanna know how are you doing?
Well, he began to explain how hectic his life was,
busy at home, the babies, all that,
and he said, it's just a difficult season,
I just can't wait to get through this.
And he said, oh, Ella, you're the one who lost your husband,
he said, is there anything you wish for?
What can I do for you?
What do you wish for?
All sudden her eyes lit up and she said,
Dr. Paul, I would give anything to be where you are
as a young parent.
I would give anything to hear the pitter patter
of my kids' feet, running through the house.
I would give anything to change a diaper,
make formula, clean up the table, rock my children to sleep,
she said, how I long for those days
and tears were just pouring down her cheeks.
And then she said, Paul, one day, you're gonna look back
and miss the very season you're trying to hurry through.
Well, Paul left that day with a whole new perspective,
he could hardly wait to get home, change some diapers,
his wife, Jennifer thought he'd gone nuts,
but he went from enduring his life to enjoying his life
because he just shifted his perspective.
Maybe you're so ready to get to a new level in your life
that you aren't able to enjoy where you are,
you know maybe you're ready for a new career,
a new place to live, or a new relationship,
and it seems to be delayed year after year after year,
and you're so focused on what's not happening,
that you can't really enjoy what is happening.
Now trust me, I understand,
I have things I'm waiting on and it just,
it could be so frustrating at times.
But you know in the Bible,
there's the story of how Moses since spies out to the land,
and spy out the land,
one group came back focused on the size of the enemy,
the other came back focused on the size of their God,
well, only two made it to the promised land,
the one who had the right perspective.
See your perspective about what you're facing could be,
what's keeping you from your promised land or your dream.
See what you focus on, you magnify,
it becomes bigger than it really is,
now think about this, when you magnify something,
you're not changing the actual size of it,
you're changing your perception of it.
Well see, I found out that one of the quickest ways
to see your dreams manifest,
or to have your breakthrough in whatever is frustrating you,
is to turn your perspective around,
and the way you do that, is to start being grateful.
Instead of looking at how far you have to go,
take a look back at how far you've come,
now, you and I have so much to be grateful for,
but it's a matter of perspective.
And let me just tell you,
the truth is somebody would love to have your life,
your job, your house, your influence, your spouse,
your body, your hair, I'm serious.
Now I wanna encourage you,
start a gratitude list or a gratitude journal,
start voicing what you're grateful for,
the truth is, if you complain about where you are,
you'll never get to where you wanna be.
Joyce Mayer says if you complain, you remain,
if you praise, you'll be raised.
Well, I want you to notice,
David's perspective in the Bible about Goliath,
David never called Goliath a giant, everybody else did,
they just magnified how intimidating he was.
But David called him an uncircumcised Philistine,
he didn't deny the giant, but he also didn't dwell on it,
he didn't magnify it.
Well, in fact David said with his mouth,
he said, this day, I will defeat you,
not I hope, I might, I'm trying,
no he said, I will defeat you.
Now, I've heard Joyce Mayer say,
he defeated the giant with his words
before he ever released the stone.
Then she said this,
you can't defeat Goliath with your mouth shut,
think about that,
you can't defeat Goliath with your mouth shut.
Here's what I want you to see,
each time you speak God's word, things are changing.
Each time you make positive declarations,
things are changing.
Each time you stop yourself from complaining
and instead you express gratitude to God,
your circumstances are changing,
so, keep the right perspective.
And notice David said, I will defeat you,
see, you can talk yourself into being defeated
or being victorious.
Now this week, I'm gonna help you speak the right things
over yourself, over your breakthrough,
and over the dreams that are in your heart.
