God Wants to Reveal Himself to You | The Wilderness Perspective Series (Video 5) - Duration: 3:34.
Hi Everybody. My name is Jelilat Williams and welcome to The Lived Verse.
Where we talk about the power of God and His word in our everyday lives. This
month, with The Wilderness Perspective series, we've been talking about the
growth and stretching that God does in you during these times. In the last three
videos in this series, we discuss the different reasons that God sends you
into the wilderness. This week we're going to discuss the fourth reason and that is God wants
to reveal something about himself to you. The first key point is God wants to show
us that He is the I am that I am. Which means that God is the ultimate source
that can and will fulfill any and all of our needs. In this last reason that God
sends you into the wilderness, God wants to show you who He is and what He can do.
No wilderness season is unnecessary for the Word says that God works all things
together for our good. Today we're gonna look at all four reasons that God sends
us into the wilderness using the story of Joseph in the Bible.
To recap the first reason that God sends us into the wilderness is to help us
recognize the skills that we already possess. Joseph went from managing his
father's flocks at home, to managing the home of an Egyptian officer, to running
an entire prison, to becoming second in command over all of Egypt.
The second reason God sends us into the wilderness is to help us realign our
focus back to Him. Everywhere Joseph went in the wilderness he prospered. From being
sold into slavery to the chief guard of the king of Egypt, to running an entire
prison as an inmate, to being appointed second-in-command over all of Egypt.
Favor was with Joseph because he always looked to the Lord and never at
his circumstance. The third reason that God sends us into the wilderness is to
increase our capacity. When Joseph was still managing the Egyptian officers
home, the Egyptian officer's wife began to tempt him towards a sinful place, but
Joseph remembered his purpose, and the Bible says that Joseph literally fleed
from the sinful place towards the secret place. He ran
to God. Joseph then ended up in jail but it was in jail that Joseph's capacity
and skill to interpret dreams increased. The fourth reason that God sends us into
the wilderness is to reveal something about himself to us. When Joseph was in
jail he met a baker, it was the same baker that told the king
of Egypt about Joseph's ability to interpret dreams. Joseph had interpreted
a dream for the king that nobody else in the land of Egypt could interpret. The
king then appointed Joseph second-in-command over all of Egypt, and
the Egyptians did not even like Israelites! God showed Joseph that He is
a way maker. God wants to reveal something about himself to you so that you can learn
to trust him the most in the areas of your struggle.
The next key point is, where your wilderness is God wants to build your
trust. There's a miracle waiting for you on the other side of the wilderness and
God is going to give it to you if you can learn to take on the wilderness
perspective. Thanks for watching. For additional tips and content on this
week's video, make sure you follow us on social media. Next month is a new month
meaning it's a new series, so stay tuned.

Life Lessons From Video Games - FFXV - Grinding for Experience - Duration: 12:30.
Greetings Users and Programs!
This is Etari L1v1ngSacr1f1ce and today we are going to talk about how hard work and
effort beats talent everyday.
Let me just say this as we start out...
I love Final Fantasy.
I've played every single one of them all the way through except for the MMO ones at LEAST
once since the first one all those years ago.
It might very well be my favorite series of all time.
Some of the most important lessons I've learned in life came from Final Fantasy and other
RPG type games like World of Warcraft, Dragon Age and Elder Scrolls type games and I'm going
to share one of my favorite lessons with you today.
We see talented people everywhere all the time.
Have you ever though to yourself that person is so talented... how come they aren't further
along yet?
How come they aren't more successful?
How come some of these other people that AREN'T as talented as them are making more money,
have more followers or whatever the scale we are using to gauge their success is?
The fact is Talent is Never enough.
For example I know some people that are amazing at doing impressions and making up character
voices.
We think WOW they should become voice actors right?!
So we tell them DUDE you should totally become a voice actor you have such a knack for that
why don't you DO something with it?!
Well if they don't pursue a career in voice acting than making jokes with their group
of buddies will get them a lot of laughs...
They just won't ever make a living from it.
For whatever reason so many people hide their gifts from the world.
Maybe its fear... the thought of someone making fun of them or telling them they are stupid
for pursuing something outside the normal 8-5 job...
Who knows...
We will cover that topic on another day.
The fact is just because we are talented at something if we just keep it to ourselves
it will start and end with us.
If we don't play the game we have no chance of beating it.
Now someone out there is saying you don't seem to understand Etari I don't HAVE any
talent...
I'm not really good at anything...
Or I'm a jack of all trades but an expert at none is a phrase I hear a lot...
How does someone like me become successful?
That's a bunch of crap...
You ARE talented.
Everyone has talent.
You are comparing yourself to people that have either been pursuing something for years
or are trying to be something you aren't...
There are very few things that people need to be born with in order to excel at it.
Like if you aren't at least 6 foot plus tall it would be extra challenging to be a pro
basketball player or having a voice that was made for singing.
I'm not saying it can't happen you are just stacking the deck against yourself.
Also you don't have to be the BEST in the world at something in order to have a certain
degree of success.
Just look at Muggsy Bogues or Bob Dylan.
Bob Dylan will never be called the greatest singer of all time but man did he write some
good songs!
The first thing you need to do is PICK something you want to focus on.
The reason you aren't any good at anything is you haven't picked your specialty yet.
You have to pick your role in life...
Do you wanna be a healer?
Fighter?
Support?
When you are playing a game like Final Fantasy the characters are already created for you
and they already have an affinity towards a certain skill tree.
Once you've picked the role you want to play start putting your experience points into
the skill tree that will help you become better at that role!
After a time next thing you know you will have more success at the very thing that the
other person you thought was better... and technically IS BETTER than you but they NEVER
DID ANYTHING WITH IT!
NOW... on to the heart of todays lesson
Have you ever wanted to accomplish something BIG but you just feel like its SO BIG that
there is no way you could handle it and the thought of getting there is overwhelming?
Well you are probably right.
You WOULD be overwhelmed if you went straight into the end game of that dream TODAY.
That would be like trying to beat the last boss in any final fantasy game at level one.
We would get wiped out in moments.
No matter how many times we tried to beat that level 60 or 90 monster with our level
one experience it ain't gonna happen.
We NEED that experience.
Jack Septic Eye was on a talk show a while back called the LATE LATE Show and he did
an AMAZING job!
For those of you that don't know who JackSepticEye is he is one of the most popular Youtubers/Let's
Play Youtubers and I have just recently learned about him because I had never watched Lets
Play videos until I started doing these types of videos and making my own let's play videos
some some of my buddies said Hey you should check out this guy JackSepticEye.
He is one of the more popular ones and you should copy what he does and learn what he
does that makes him successful.
It was his first talk show appearance that I know of and he handled it so well that a
lot of people probably think "oh he was born like this or he was born for this".
Go back and watch some of his super early stuff on youtube.
It was ok.
Not bad.
Just not great.
He was a little awkward.
He tried to change his accent so he wouldn't sound Irish which made him second guess almost
everything he said.
Just like everyone else starting out he had to find himself and grow into the type of
person that he wanted to be.
If he had of gone onto the talk show when he first started without all the experience
of doing his live streams he probably would have absolutely bombed.
If you asked him if he would have been able to do the talk show as well as he did 6 months
or even 2 years into his career what do you think he would say?
He isn't the same person today that he was back then because of all the EXPERIENCES he's
had that he's grown from.
There is no shortcut to success.
There is no getting around grinding for experience.
You have to play the game and you have to play it yourself.
Most of us have dreamed of becoming rich and sometimes we think taking a short cut to getting
rich like winning the lottery would be AWESOME!
Have you ever heard the statistic that about 70% of lottery winners end up in worse financial
shape AFTER they won the lottery than they were before they had won all that money and
end up declaring bankruptcy within 5 years of winning?
How is it possible you ask?!
Well winning the lottery is like paying someone else to play the game for you to level up
and then when you try playing you have no idea what all the spells and special moves
are so you still die when you go up against that boss or take part in a raid.
When these people win all that money they don't know how to handle it because they never
gained the experience of HOW to handle money.
"Just because they now have a significant amount of money doesn't mean that they automatically
become a sophisticated investor."
They got handed a big sum of money but they never learned how to play the game.
If you are starting your first band and you have been playing your instrument for like
a year and your band tried to play in front of a couple THOUSAND people MOST of us would
choke and be so nervous that we would be booed off the stage!
I remember seeing an interview with I want to say one of the guys from Guns and Roses
and the interviewer asked him how does he explain his bands overnight success.
His response was hilarious.
He said something like "Overnight success my ass!
We've been sleeping on floors for 7 years playing in every dump of a bar across the
country before we got to this point!"
In the book Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell he talks about how the Beatles played EIGHT HOUR
gigs SEVEN NIGHT a week for 270 days a year for YEARS before they had their debut on the
Ed Sullivan Show.
They all grinded for that experience so when that opportunity came along they were READY
for it!
Preparation PLUS Opportunity equals success
I remember when I was really young playing the very first Final Fantasy and I ran up
against a boss that I couldn't beat at the time.
I tried multiple times and just couldn't beat him.
I was young and this was my first time playing an RPG in the first place so I had no strategy
to speak of...
And I remember realizing...
Wait...
What if I'm just not strong enough yet?
What if I go back into the world and gain some more experience points and level up some
more?
Well guess what...
After gaining a couple more levels handling that boss was easy.
Even though I wasn't very good at the game all I had to do was GRIND for experience and
nest thing you know I was a badass!
The key point I hope you are getting from this is that even if you aren't the best at
something if you do it MORE and learn how to get better along the way eventually you
will pass a LOT of the "talented" people (do you hear my air quotations) that want things
to just come to them and never pursue their dream!
Persistence and stick toittiveness are talents as well and they ARE learnable skills.
Listen...
We are all gonna do something with our lives...
Even if its NOTHING...
NOTHING is still something!
Jim Carey said "So many of us chose our path out of fear
disguised as practicality.
My father could have been a great comedian, but he didn't believe that was possible for
him.
So, he made a conservative choice and instead he got a job as an accountant.
When I was 12 years old, he was let go from that safe job.
Our family had to do whatever we could to survive.
I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which is that you can fail
at what you don't want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love."
We are all gonna have to grind at something in life anyways... so we might as well grind
at what we want to do in the first place!
For those of you that would like to pursue this path a little deeper I would recommend
three books
The first would be Outliers by Malcom Gladwell, The second would be The Talent Code by Daniel
Coyle and the third would be Talent is never enough By John Maxwell and I recommend reading
them in that order and I'll have some links in the description.
If this video helps ONE fellow gamer adapt their way of thinking and grow into the type
of person they have always dreamed of becoming... than my time has been well spent.
If this video has helped YOU in any way then help your fellow gamers out and share it with
them!
