36

Speaker 5: this podcast. I believe God has amazing things in your future.

37
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 5: I hope you enjoy this message. I just want to

38
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 5: encourage all of us today with the scripture that's found

39
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 5: in Romans. Romans twelve and this is Paul talking to

40
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 5: the Romans, and he's encouraging them and urging them with

41
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 5: great fervor to change their minds to be more like God.

42
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 4: And he says this.

43
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 5: He says, do not be conformed to this world, but

44
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 5: be transformed by the renewing of your minds.

45
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 4: See, he knew that God wanted to do.

46
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 5: Something in his people, but they couldn't keep thinking the

47
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 5: old way and have the new things that God wants

48
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 5: to do.

49
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 4: You've heard it said like this, They.

50
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 5: Couldn't put new wine and old wine skins. They had

51
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 5: to change their mind. And you know what, that's the

52
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 5: same with us today. We can't be conformed to this

53
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 5: world's culture. We can't be conformed to the wrong types

54
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 5: of thinking. We have to be transformed by the renewing

55
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 5: of our mind. You see, our salvation on this earth

56
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 5: starts in our mind. If you're born again today, if

57
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 5: you've given Jesus your life, you're a new creature in

58
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 5: Christ Jesus, and so your spirit has been made new,

59
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 5: It has come alive in Christ Jesus. The problem is

60
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 5: our mind needs to catch up with what's going on

61
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 5: in our spirit. All right, But we can do that

62
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 5: by not conforming to our old thinking, but submitting ourself

63
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 5: to the word of God, to the teachings of God.

64
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 5: You see, we are so blessed because we can get

65
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 5: the word of God at our fingertips. We can google

66
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 5: the Word of God. We can take our phone and

67
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 5: get our bib ble apps. We can listen to podcasts,

68
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 5: we can turn on the internet, we can turn on

69
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 5: the TV.

70
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 4: Listen.

71
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 5: We can put our music on our Christian faithful music

72
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 5: that declares the goodness of God. We are so blessed.

73
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 5: We have to submit and stay under this word of

74
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 5: God God, so that it can change our thinking. You see,

75
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 5: some people may not have been brought up in church.

76
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 5: I was brought up in church, but you may not

77
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 5: be have been so you maybe you have some things

78
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 5: that are contrary to what God wants you to think today.

79
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 4: Some of you have addictions. It's contrary to what God

80
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 4: has for you today.

81
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 5: You see, God is saying, don't be conformed by a habit,

82
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 5: don't be conformed by an addiction, don't be conformed by

83
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 5: the cultures of this world, the way this world thinks,

84
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 5: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. You

85
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 5: have the choice of what you listen to, of what

86
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 5: you put yourself under. And God is saying, renew your mind,

87
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 5: change your mind, get into what I have for you.

88
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 4: You see.

89
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 5: I talk to people all the time who have an

90
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 5: addiction and they are struggling to break the addiction. And

91
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 5: what I tell them is just don't stay down, get

92
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 5: back up, put yourself under the word of God. And

93
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 5: those strongholds. Those things that are trying to hold you back,

94
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 5: they can't stand up against the word of God. It's

95
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 5: only a matter of time before your mind catches up

96
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 5: with what the spirit is doing. In Ephesians, the Bible says,

97
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 5: to him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above

98
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 5: all we can ask, think, or imagine. I love that

99
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 5: God can do anything. But listen to the second part,

100
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 5: According to the power that works in us. See, God

101
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 5: is saying, when you transform your mind, you line your

102
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 5: mind up with the power that's in you. See, there's

103
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 5: power in a made up mind. There's power in a

104
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 5: mind that says, no, I'm not staying here. I'm on

105
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 5: my way to greater places. I'm on my way to

106
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 5: God's destination. I'm not going to be held down. But

107
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 5: I always and old patterns of thinking. You see, I

108
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 5: think about the apostle Paul, and he was so passionate

109
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 5: to let them know by the mercies of God, by

110
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 5: the grace of God, this can happen for you. You see,

111
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 5: people they drink drinks to detox their body. Have you

112
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 5: ever heard somebody say, you know, drink this for five

113
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 5: days and it'll get all the junk out of your body.

114
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 3: You know.

115
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 5: They say that the stuff we eat, even the water

116
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 5: we drink, you know, has toxins in it. So people

117
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 5: want to be healthy, they want to detox their body. Listen,

118
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 5: when you read the Word of God and put yourself

119
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 5: under the word of God, you're.

120
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 4: Detoxing your mind.

121
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 5: You're dislodging strongholds, your weakening their grip on you. Listen,

122
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 5: you're in a battle. You're in a battle, and it's

123
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 5: time to stand up and fight.

124
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 4: It's time to.

125
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 5: Say, I'm not gonna let the wrong words come out

126
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 5: of my mouth. I'm not gonna let my ole way

127
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 5: of thinking stop me. I've heard people who are fighting

128
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 5: a illness and they listen to the Word of God constantly.

129
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 5: They've constantly got it going, whether they have the Word

130
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 5: of God, whether they have a good teaching, whether they

131
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 5: have Joel, whether they have praised they are constantly bathing

132
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 5: and sanctifying their mind in the word of God. See,

133
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 5: we're justified in our spirit, but we have to be

134
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 5: sanctified in our mind. That means we have to set

135
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 5: our mind apart from the old way of doing and being,

136
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 5: and we have to get in God's way of doing

137
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 5: and being.

138
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 4: You See, if we want to know God's will, We're

139
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 4: going to have to know God's way.

140
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 5: Now, he was telling them, don't be conformed, but be transformed.

141
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 5: And he was saying, this is a process. Don't get

142
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 5: down on yourself. It's a process. And then he went

143
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 5: on to say this. He says, do not be conformed

144
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 5: to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of

145
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 5: your mind. That by testing you may be able to

146
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 5: discern the will of.

147
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 4: God for your life.

148
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 5: What is pleasing, right and acceptable. How many of you

149
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 5: want to know the will of God for your life.

150
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 5: I want to know the will of God for my life.

151
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,679
Speaker 5: I want to know the will of God for my life.

152
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 5: And God is saying, through this transformation, through this new

153
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 5: way of thinking, you can take all these choices and

154
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 5: you can put them under the scrutiny of what you know.

155
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 5: You can test it and see shall I make it

156
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 5: or shall I not? Shall I choose it, or shall

157
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 5: I go the other way? So you can put the

158
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 5: choices you make every day under the scrutiny of the

159
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 5: word of God. See, God wants us to walk in

160
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 5: confidence before him. He wants us to know what his

161
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 5: will is so we'll know what way to go. It's

162
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 5: kind of like taking a test. Have you ever gone

163
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 5: in when you're in school to take a test or

164
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 5: for your job. The better you knew the material, the

165
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 5: more confident you were, the more answers.

166
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 4: You got right. It's kind of like that God is.

167
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 5: Saying this transform comes a little by little, but keep gaining knowledge,

168
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 5: keep testing your choices by what you know to be right.

169
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 5: You know, we make choices every single day and those

170
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 5: choices make us so it's so important that we put

171
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 5: our choices under God's authority.

172
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 4: Now. You know, sometimes we don't want to put.

173
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 5: Every choice under God's authority because some choices we.

174
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 4: Just want they look so good.

175
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 5: God, I can fix this with you later. Let me

176
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 5: go ahead and make this choice, you know what.

177
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 4: And God knows that.

178
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 5: I mean, we've all been there, we've all done that.

179
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 5: And the good thing about God he can take our

180
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 5: bad choices and bring him glory and us good.

181
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 4: All right, he can.

182
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 5: He's a good God, and he loves us, and I

183
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 5: love the fact that he's not judging us. The point

184
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 5: is is that we need to not be afraid to

185
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 5: take our attitudes, our unforgiveness, our habits, everything about us.

186
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 4: And put it under the submission of God.

187
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 5: See Paul was saying, be a living sacrifice is how

188
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 5: he started a be a living sacrifice. What he was saying,

189
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 5: he was going, go all in, go all in. Don't

190
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 5: hold back certain areas of your life. You have a

191
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 5: bad habit, put it under God's authority. Don't hold on

192
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 5: to it and say, God, I'll fix it. As soon

193
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 5: as I fix it, then I'll come over here and give.

194
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 4: It to you. God is saying, get it all to me,

195
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 4: the good, the bad, the ugly.

196
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 5: Put it under my word. Let me break those things

197
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 5: off of your life. See Jesus came as the living Word.

198
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 5: The Bible says he came as the Word made incarnate,

199
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 5: man made flesh, and he walked among them.

200
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 4: And do you know that.

201
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 5: When you read the word of God, you get good teaching.

202
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 5: You're walking with Jesus. And he's still doing what he

203
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 5: did those days in the Bible. He's still healing, he's

204
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 5: still delivering, he's still setting free.

205
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 4: We are restoring. Take his hand and put all of

206
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 4: it under his authority.

207
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 5: We can't be afraid and listen. You know, we have

208
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 5: big decisions that we have to make in our life.

209
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 5: I've heard people say, I want to know the will

210
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 5: of God. Should I take this job, should I start

211
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 5: this business? Should I go back to college? Is this

212
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 5: the person I should marry? And those are all very

213
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 5: important decisions. But we need to put every decision under

214
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 5: the will of God, because the better choices we make,

215
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 5: the closer we are to those better decisions on those

216
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 5: big issues of our life. When I was a young girl,

217
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 5: I remember my heart. I would just say to God, God,

218
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 5: when I get married someday, all I know is this,

219
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 5: I want a man who loves you more than I do.

220
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 5: You see, my heart said this, God. I don't want

221
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 5: to be dragging anybody up. I don't want to be

222
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 5: constantly pushing them up. God, don't want them to sharpen me.

223
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 5: I want us to be better together. I want us

224
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 5: to do great things for you. Now, girls, I just

225
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 5: want to tell you this. Don't say this part, but

226
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 5: this is literally what I said, because if I was you,

227
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 5: I would find a man with a job. But I said,

228
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 5: I said, God, he doesn't have to have a lot

229
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 5: of money, you know what, He didn't have to be rich.

230
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 4: God, I just want him to love you.

231
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 5: Because my heart was like this, God, you can do

232
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 5: anything in our life. If we serve you, we can

233
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 5: rise higher. We can do anything. But the bottom line

234
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 5: is my gold standard is that he loves you a lot.

235
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 5: So when I met Joel, he looked good on the outside,

236
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 5: in fact, from the outside, and he looked like he

237
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 5: was perfect.

238
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 4: But you know what, I didn't want to just judge

239
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 4: him from the outside.

240
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 5: I wanted to judge my who I was gonna marry

241
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 5: by the word of God.

242
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 4: And although he looked good, he seemed to.

243
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 5: Have the right credentials, you know what, that wasn't good enough.

244
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 5: I watched him, I studied him. I saw if his

245
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 5: beliefs lined up with his actions. I watched how he

246
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 5: treated his family, what he said about his friends, his

247
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 5: generosity towards others. See, I let that character line itself

248
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 5: up with the word of God. Then I could make

249
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,599
Speaker 5: an educated, goodly decision.

250
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 4: See.

251
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 5: God wants us to be confident in our decisions. As

252
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 5: our minds are graining more knowledge and being transformed, then

253
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 5: we can test our choices and make the right decisions. Well,

254
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 5: I had the peace of God. He asked me to marry,

255
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 5: so I did. Thirty years later, it's been a wonderful decision.

256
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 5: It's been a great decision.

257
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 4: Can I tell you girls.

258
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 5: Don't judge from the outside, make sure their character lines up.

259
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 5: You're far too valuable to get together with someone who

260
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 5: doesn't appreciate you and know how to bring out the

261
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 5: best in you, who doesn't serve the living God.

262
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 4: You see, I made my decision.

263
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 5: I'd rather be home with a peanut butter and jelly

264
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 5: sandwich than with a man that wasn't good enough.

265
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 4: For me and God. All right, it's not worth it.

266
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 5: Every decision you make. Use the word of God as

267
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 5: your goal standard. Keep conforming to God's word and his likeness.

268
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 5: Don't conform to the world, don't conform to habits. You

269
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 5: may be fighting something right now, and I just want

270
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 5: to encourage you to get yourself, submit yourself under the

271
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 5: word of God. Don't let anything come out of your

272
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 5: mouth that doesn't line up with what you want. Listen,

273
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 5: when you're in a fight, you've got to fight to

274
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 5: the end.

275
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 4: You got to be serious about where you're going.

276
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 5: God's work will renew you, strengthen you, and refresh you.

277
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 5: It'll detox all those old ways, and I'll bring you

278
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 5: into the new ways of God.

279
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,320
