Manifest your Gifts Featuring: Dr Myles Munroe, Steve Harvey, Denzel Washington Testimony 2020

Our focus today will be to understand the principle of self-

manifest

ation. Write it. If you were to ask me what my biggest advice to give you as a young man or woman, it would be this message. People are not looking for you. They are looking for what you carry and if you do not

manifest

what you carry the world will ignore you because you exist does not mean that you are going to be successful because you are on the planet does not mean that people are going to notice you, you can live an entire life and not be noticed by the world. humanity we can bury you in a cemetery and we would never know that you were here except for that tombstone and the reason is because most humans on earth live on earth but never manifest and that is why the most important goal in

your

life should be self manifestation.

Now this is how you know you are not living in

your

gift if when the alarm goes off in the morning and you are not happy with it, you are not doing what you want to do, see yourself fighting against the grain, you are going against what God created you to do. If your job makes you sick, if you're not happy with waking up to go where you need to go, it's because you're not living in your gift. Some people are born to be teachers, caregivers, nurses, babysitters. Those are

gifts

. If you're living in your gift, you're great.

It's just. If you're not If you like it If you fry chicken better than everyone else you should be somewhere flying, chicken man, if you have something better than everyone else, you should be somewhere making someone's house, those are

gifts

, telling jokes, It was a gift, they're just not just running, jumping, if you paint, you should paint, if what you do is babysit. you should really take care of yourself by doing anything if you fix cars you work with your hands you're supposed to work with your hands you do anything else when the alarm goes off in the morning you're not going to like it now if you wake up you go down there they don't pay you what you you want you hate your coworkers you're down there your boss doesn't have to be your boss i never thought anyone should be in charge of me i always saw myself free i just want to come to work everything i want to do bishop jake said i would hate this die and never do what I was born to do you should research that before wasting your time and getting out of it write this please discontent is the seed of change in other words you will never change what you tolerate how many times have you said I need to change this you know but You keep doing it because you tolerate it, what you tolerate will never change.

So how do you break a tolerance? Here's my advice. Write this down. You will never become what you could be until you become angry at what you bring anger to. The change. Your life is defined by what you hate. Can you write that right now? I don't hate you, you allow and whatever you allow, you will never change. People say God is love and sometimes we use that to accommodate evil, but the Bible says God hates things too. The great King David wrote seven things. God hates Solomon, he wrote 14 of them. type of habits you have what is your secret habit what is your public habit you design your future with that habit we do not decide our future we decide our habits and our habits decide our future if you have the habit of watching television your future is designed in that habit so that the power of a habit can control your destiny, so you have to decide your habits.

I have the habit, for example, of reading the Bible every day. He is not a spiritual giant. I made it a habit, so if I don't do it. I don't read the Bible I feel like I'm going through withdrawals What a good habit to have prayer should be a habit for most people Prayer is an occasional surprise or when things are falling apart only your gift will make room for you now What is your gift is what you do absolutely best with the least amount of effort that is your gift stop running away from the gift your gift will make room for you stop trying to be something you have no talent for no one is asking you to come down here and study to be a dentist and You are not very good at it listen to me, you all have this guilt, identify what you do best with the least amount of effort, that is what you should be doing, you are wasting your time pursuing your passion the bible does not mention passion, mention your gift, what do you have talent for? and do that stop tripping you can do it if you fry chicken better than everyone you know you should be somewhere frying chicken people make millions of dollars fry chicken popeyes kentucky fried chicken el pollo loco all they do is make chicken someone just starting out Let's make chicken.

You already know the story of Marie Callenders. Do you know what this woman did? man, she worked for a restaurant, a greasy spoon restaurant that was going out of business it was her only job she was a single mother it was her only job she needed that job but the restaurant was going to close so she went to the owner of the restaurant and said: let me bake one of my cakes. People like my cakes and see if I can help you make some money he said whatever you bring it she bought a cake they sold every slice the next day people came in and asked for the package she had to go home and make another cake the next day so many people asked about the cake, I had to make fake cakes and people started saying can I buy my own cake?

She made so many cakes in this store that she finally saved money and put a commercial oven in her house. Cheetah made so many pies to do the shopping. She doesn't sell burgers anymore, all she sells is cakes, that's how Marie Calendar started. Marie Calendar now has more than 120 restaurants. You can't go to any frozen food section without seeing Marie Calendar there. You know what it started with. pack one pack what you will become after today depends on what you do with this message all of you in this room I have good news for you you came to this earth because there is something that the earth needed that god hid within you all in creation was created with a gift everything God created nothing without a gift it took me 30 years to make that statement research experience my own life studying creation itself you were brought to this planet established here by a greater power to deliver something we need that God created everything with gifts in other words you are a package sent to earth to deliver a gift to your generation you are obligated to us you owe me what you carry what you were created for what you possess now this is a divine principle what do you think? your gift, what did I say?

Whatever you were created to be, you possess now, in other words, whatever you were born to be is not in front of you, it is within you because whatever you were meant to be, God has prepared you with The creator never places it. the future outside of a thing your future is not in front of you it is actually trapped inside in other words write this you came to planet earth with your future inside you I say it this way god hid your future in a place where he knew that you couldn't miss it a gift is the inherent ability to fulfill a function that satisfies a need in creation every word is important here inherent means no one can give you this you came with this no prophecy can give you a gift a prophecy may encourage you This session is probably one of the most important centers of your life because you are still stuck looking for a job you know the good thing about gifts you don't have to look for them the guy who cut my hair I met him in 1986 he cut my hair for ten dollars I remembered When I appeared on television, I had hired him, he went out and started earning 300 for a haircut, I paid him 10.

He had been with me for so many years that he earned 1,500 for I cut my hair four times a week for television, and on tour I paid him 1,500. Every time I made six thousand dollars a week you know what I did cutting hair that same haircut I paid ten dollars for in 87 this guy was cutting it now for 1500. I cut my hair but then let me tell you what he did . I paid him a lot of money to be with me all these years. I gave him compensation. I told him to have good luck. Guess what this guy got?

Now he has four salons and two barber shops, you know what this guy makes now 3.6 million a year, you know what he does, he cut half of it, he doesn't do anything else, that's his gift, my friend, we grew up with everything What did. it was cut grass he had a single blade lawnmower that he pushed he was so good at it he could raise and lower the blades he could cut patterns in your grass we little guy I'm going to go hey man let's go swimming now they cut me miss jackson grass he could cut patterns in his yard he could put his initials in his lawn when he was a kid two dollars in the front two dollars in the back four dollars we used to laugh at him all the time well let me tell you what you're laughing now, He got a landscaping company in Cleveland, you know, this guy made 4 million a year, you know what he does, he cut grass, he got 38 trucks, he got all the contracts at the mall corporations in the city and when it snows outside, he did a good job mowing the lawn, put snowplows on the front of his trucks and got all the snow removal contracts.

This guy makes four million dollars a year and you know what he does, he cut subsidies if you study our entire culture. of our cultures look our cultures are based on employment employment destroys your gift it prevents you from even thinking about it our educational systems have harmed us greatly because in reality they have been conditioning us to believe that we are only here to find a job, pay some bills and die, in fact everything your parents tell you has to do with a job, most of us, by our culture, have been taught to go and find our future, so we are conditioned only to get a education to get a job. and then we work at a place we hate for 45 years and then they give us a clock to come home, sit in the rocking chair, and watch the rest of our time fade away.

This is what they call retiring, mud, it means you're tired. so you are retired double tired don't go to school young people to look for a gift single woman I promise you that you will never find your gift in education so take note of this a gift can never be learned it can only be refined that's why you can go to the college and get a PhD and still be broke because education is not a gift; In reality, you can go to school and spend a lot of money at all kinds of universities and never hone your gift because you took the wrong courses, most of the people God forbid in this room went to college and studied the wrong thing because you decision to choose a certain area of ​​study was motivated more by economic potential than personal fulfillment, so now you are depressed because you are not fulfilling your well-educated gift and you are still trying to do so. pay off your phone even your career may not be your gift is what I am saying and God can send you this message right now to tell you that it is time to change your career in your calling.

I was speaking at a school I was speaking to. The director of the students was mortified with my message because I was telling the truth I was telling the children their education is important but their education is not the most important thing in their life I'm sorry, it's not their dream it's the most important thing in this world , your education surpasses your education, if your dreams eclipse your education, I said and the principal came on stage as I spoke, don't say that to my school again, well, I'm just telling you, dog, you can save your children a lot. of pain if you ever talk to them about their dreams you have to talk to young people about their dreams look it's not your education the bible don't even mention education it's not even that the bible says a man without a dream or The vision will perish if you talk with the children about their dreams.

Your dreams may drive you to get an education, but if you never find out what a child dreams about, you won't be able to get his or her attention. He is the man of your dreams. If you have a child he loves. to be an airplane pilot you can stop talking to him about education, talk to him about being a pilot, how wonderful it is where he will be able to fly, then he will do mathematics, he will do engineering, he will go to science because he wants to be a pilot, it is the dream, that It's the most important thing, people kill me, man, with this education, I'm not going to criticize education, but you can do it without education, I don't have any, you know how many people have degrees, they don't work.

I'm not working anywhere now if you want to be a doctor, lawyer, dentist, things like that, you have to go get an education, we're not talking about that, but you keep putting all these pieces of paper hanging on your wall, you have a degree. You're not going to achieve that. Your life will never be a straight path. I started at Fordham University as a pre-med student. I took a course called Cardiac Morphogenesis. I couldn't read it. I couldn't say it. For sure yes. I didn't pass, so I decided to study law and then journalism, and without an academic focus, my grades took off in their own direction.

I had a 1.8 GPA one semester and the university very politely suggested I'd better take some time. I was 20 years old and at my lowest point and then one day, March 27, 1975, I was helping my mother in her beauty salon, there was an older woman who was considered one ofthe oldest in the town and I didn't know her. personally, but I was looking in the mirror and every time I looked in the mirror I could see her she was looking at me she said something that I will never forget she said young man I have a prophecy a spiritual prophecy she said that you are going to travel the world and I talk to millions of people now, keep in mind I'm 20 years old, I flunked out of school, so when I returned to Fordham that fall I went in and changed my major one last time and in the years that followed, just like that woman prophesied, I traveled the world and spoke to millions of people through my films.

I found that nothing in life is worth it unless you take risks nothing second corinthians chapter 147 read but we have this treasure where is it hidden in jars of clay clay pots your body to do what to show that this all-higher power is from god and not from us lord have mercy because I put those things inside you what are you supposed to do with it show it manifest yourself and what happens next He says and we are in trouble everywhere but not crushed we are perplexed sometimes but not in despair otherwise, no matter what you go through, the gift is still there in despair, I lost the gossip in my house, but you still have the gift , the bank gave me back the car, I still have to give it to my girlfriend, she left me, but I still have the gift. write this point please the gift is the source of value of the created thing let me say it again your gift is the source of your value your value comes from your gift so if you never find your gift you will never be valuable to us and your value determines how much you earn in life you get paid for the value you bring to the earth don't chase money whatever gives you value is the source of your wealth and sometimes people try to make money off the gift too soon my advice is Give it away for free because when you give your gift away for free it is exposed, even a drug dealer knows this.

They give you the first one for free. You must be fulfilling your gift. How many years have I taught? I mean, since I was 15 years old. the vision is to teach the word of god i never received a cent and someone gives me 10,000 a day for speaking you get jealous of me i gave it for free for 15 years you are trying to get paid even in there for 15 hours give it to them for free serve your gift volunteer I was 27 October 8, 1985 comedy club hilarious I entered the comedy club for the first time in my life I won amateur night 50 I drove 40 minutes home I cried all the way home this girl rolled and she said why do you cry? the name of fifty dollars you don't even understand I was born she said what you mean you were born I said I know what I'm going to do the rest of my life she said you can't win with 50 dollars no I I've been praying all my life God, what is it?

My life has to be more than this. I won that comedy contest. I went to work on October 9th the next morning and quit my job. That decision cost me everything I had. I lost everything. I lost my family. I lost friends I lost everything I was homeless I lived in a car for three years but I just saw this I saw this I saw this vision I just chased it I said wow that's it you have to take risks in life if you don't take risks in life life you will never have the life that God has for you life is about risk if you play it safe you will not have much life remember that this life is risk it takes courage to pursue your dream I just did it It cost me everything God is a very good man , when he sees you take a leap of faith, he will provide you with what you need.

He will provide you with everything you need now. It will cost you something, but most people are not willing to pay what it costs to go. after your dream because you will have to hurt a little and most people don't like to feel uncomfortable if you don't want to feel uncomfortable please don't look for success because success is very uncomfortable. I learned to be comfortable being uncomfortable if you can get that into your head everything you've been through God got you through it you didn't even realize he just helped you through it you can't name anything he didn't help you well I lost my mother I'm still grieving there, I lost my mom 21 years ago, I'm still grieving about it, but I'm here, you know, I'm over it, you'll get over it, but you have to take chances in life, the man can't.

Play it safe, you must jump, you must try, you will fail at some point in your life, accept it, you will lose, you will be embarrassed, you will suck at something, embrace it because it is inevitable and you should know that in the acting business. You fail all the time early in my career. I auditioned for a role in a Broadway musical. I thought the role was perfect for me, except for the fact that I can't sing, I didn't get the job, but this is what I didn't get. I quit I didn't back down I got out of there to prepare for the next audition I prayed I prayed and I prayed but I kept failing and failing and failing but it didn't matter because there's an old saying that you hang around the barbershop enough sooner or later they'll cut your hair so you'll get a break and I took a break if you don't fail you're not even trying to get something you never had you have to do something you never did Did you imagine that you were on your deathbed and around your deathbed are the ghosts that represent your unfulfilled potential, the ghost of ideas you never acted on the ghost of talents you didn't use and they're standing around your bed angry, disappointed and upset, they say we came to you, you could have brought us to life and now we have to go to hell together grave, so you have to go out, you have to give everything you have, whether it is your time, your talent, your prayers or your treasures.

The question is what are you going to do with what you have? I'm not talking about how much you have, whatever your gift is, what are you going to do with what you have? The last one, safe for the next generation, have you noticed that each fruit is obtained? seed in it each fruit receives a seed because the fruit must maintain the future that is my whole life my whole life is to help better people than me that is why I teach you so much I want you to be great people ten keys to success how free your purpose number one you must first understand your destiny number two you must have a vision of your gift see the finished product number three believe that you have the ability to fulfill it number four you must live by the laws that protect that gift that we call Principle number five.

You must have a plan designed to achieve your gift. Number six. You have to have the right people around you because there are some gift killers out there. There are some people who suffocate because they fail. They want you to fail. It is not like this. You're not going anywhere and they won't take you with them. You have to be careful with the people you have in your life and persistence number eight. You have to handle the pressure to pursue your gift because you live in a culture that doesn't love you. to manifest your gift the beautiful thing is when you manifest it then suddenly they become your friends because they want to eat your gift number nine you must persevere to bring out your gift because you will always have resistance and opposition discouragement failures but you have to keep coming back and number 10 you must pray for your gift every day pray to the one who gave it to you to give you wisdom to manifest it pray every day for my gift you pray for your purpose don't pray for food no don't pray for clothes, you want to pray for your role in the kingdom of God, your delivery system, what you're supposed to bring to this thing, that's what you pray for, oh God, show me how to do it, revive it, refine it, define it for me, keep it.

It's fresh lord let me see this purpose that's what I pray for the best things in life it's on the other side of fear it's on the other side of fear but fear freezes people man the fear of failure freezes people I guess not I do if you don't you might not make it that's for sure so that's just my opinion probably not the one most people share but the man of your dreams is what you dream about, You have to dream of something so big that it eclipses. all your fears the way to overcome fear is with your dream you have to make your dreams so big that nothing matters except that dream you are willing to do whatever it takes nelson mandela said you can't find passion by playing small by settling for a life that is less than what you are capable of living because taking risks is not just about looking for a job, but also about knowing what you know and what you don't know, it is about being open to people and ideas not only take risks but be open to life to accept new points of view and be open to new opinions even if you are afraid, even though it may be scary, it will also be rewarding because the opportunities you take the people you know the people you love the faith you have that is what will define you know your purpose believe in your task document your vision put it on paper you were sent to earth to release your hidden potential hold a mango seed in your hand and see a mango that is the vision you see the end result do that with your life submit to the right environment even though you see the mango in the seed you have to plant that seed in the ground and give it water and nutrients your greatness could be destroyed by the wrong environment the books that the people you are reading with Where you are, the places you go, the church you attend, everything is related to who you become, feed yourself with the right materials when you put that fertilizer on that seed, that seed is happy with what you are fertilizing your life, you spend five hours looking at men, I mean what are you feeding your vision?

What are you fueling your gift? You go over this in different clubs. God is saying what are you doing? What are you fueling your gift? Give your gift time to develop. You will never get mangoes from a mango. seed in a day goes through the process persists under pressure when you plant that seed in the ground all the pressure the earth is on top of it but the pressure is important for the seed the pressure of your life tests the reality of your gift whatever stop You are how strong you are, never be discouraged, never stop, give everything you have and when you fall in life, remember this fall forward, your gift is supposed to produce more seeds, you should be mentoring people all the time for them to be bigger than you, but you said. that would do great things your gift would serve the world then you are a great seed fish came from water they have to stay united you came from god do not try to fulfill your gift without god you
