0:00.0	Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading this podcast. I believe God has amazing
0:06.0	things in your future. I hope you enjoy this message.
0:17.5	How many of you know that God has placed in our spirit,
0:20.8	along into achieve? You know, God told Abraham, he said Abraham, I want you to increase,
0:28.5	I want you to multiply and I want you to take dominion over your land, over what I've given you.
0:36.0	You see, God doesn't find anything wrong with us achieving. He doesn't mind if we rise to a
0:45.2	noble position or a good position from our hard work. But see, God doesn't want us to think that

1:52.8	they got angry with the two disciples because they were feeling like that, you know, they were trying
1:58.0	to thwart their authority was trying to put themselves over the other disciples so they became
2:05.0	angry and they became frustrated. I can imagine them thinking, well, you haven't done anything
2:09.7	better than me. I've done just as much as you have. You see, Jesus understood these emotions.
2:18.5	He understood the struggle and he told her, he said, look, you know what, if they can do what I can do,
2:26.4	we're taking it, he said, but it's not my position, you know, I'm just doing what my father wants
