1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,279 Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 2: the ministry. 4 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 3: If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a 5 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 3: blessing and share it with a friend. 6 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 2: We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in 7 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 2: your life. 8 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 3: I want to remind every one of us today that 9 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 3: we are not victims to our circumstances, but we are victors. See. 10 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 3: God called us more than conquerors. We're not a slave 11 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 3: to circumstances. We're not captivated by our own thoughts, but 12 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 3: we can think the thoughts of Heaven. We can literally 13 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 3: think the thoughts of our champion, Jesus Christ. He says 14 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 3: that we are more than conquerors through Christ, Jesus. You 15 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 3: know what when I think of a conquer you know 16 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 3: what I think of. I just picture this this ring 17 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 3: with two boxers in there, and I think about these 18 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 3: boxers and how they have those big old boxing gloves 19 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 3: on and they smack each other in the face, and 20 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 3: you know what, they don't fall down. They keep on 21 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 3: at it. They keep at it, They keep at it 22 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 3: because they're champions. They don't go into that ring thinking 23 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 3: they're anything less but a champion. Now, if they get 24 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 3: knocked down, have you ever watched them, they bounce back up. See, 25 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 3: champions have bounced back in them. And God has called 26 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 3: you a champion in Jesus Christ, God has said you 27 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 3: have bounced back. But how do we keep this mental 28 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 3: bounce back? How do we keep this emotional bank account full? 29 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 3: You see, just like you keep money in your bank, 30 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 3: you wouldn't think about writing to check not having any 31 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 3: money in your bank. So you work to keep money 32 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 3: in your bank. You check your bank account, you make 33 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 3: sure it's gonna cover your life, cover your bills, cover 34 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 3: your children. Well, we have to do the exact same 35 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 3: thing with our emotional bank account. We have to make 36 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 3: sure we're covered. We have to make sure we're strong. See. 37 00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 3: I think about those boxers, and you know what they have. 38 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 3: They have mental toughness. They have mental toughness. 39 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: They don't go in. 40 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 3: That ring as soon as they get hit they think, 41 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 3: oh that's it, I'm out, I'm done. No, they have 42 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 3: prepared their minds. They have got themselves in a place 43 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 3: where they know they are champions. And I believe too 44 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 3: often we're allowing ourself to sink below who we really are, 45 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 3: to not meet that standard of a champion. Now listen, 46 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 3: God gave his life for us through Jesus Christ, he 47 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 3: gave his son, so we have to attach ourself to 48 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 3: that champion mentality. The Bible says we are to have 49 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 3: the mind of Christ Jesus, So we're supposed to attach 50 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 3: our mind to the mind of Christ. 51 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 4: What is God. 52 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 3: Saying about you today? You need to take inventory about 53 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 3: what are you thinking about yourself? Are you thinking champion thoughts? 54 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 3: Are you thinking weak and defeated thoughts? You know, just 55 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 3: like when you have your car full of gas that 56 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 3: runs beautifully, but when you start to get low and 57 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 3: it starts to run out of gas, it starts spittering 58 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 3: and spattering, and you think what is going on? You 59 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 3: check the gas tank and you think I've run out 60 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 3: of gas. See, we too have indicators of when our 61 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 3: emotional bank accounts are low, and that is we get frustrated, 62 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 3: We get upset. Everything seems hard, seems like it's never 63 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 3: gonna change, it's always impossible. We don't enjoy the gifts 64 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 3: that God has given us because we're overwhelmed. That is 65 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 3: how you can check your emotional bank account right there. 66 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 3: Are you enjoying the life that God gave you. Are 67 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 3: you acting like a champion? Are you overcoming the punches 68 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 3: of life? Because the truth of the matter is life 69 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: is a lot like that box. Are in a ring. 70 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: You're gonna get knocked out every now and then, You're 71 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 3: gonna get hit every now and then. Somebody's gonna offend 72 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 3: you every now and then. 73 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 4: But you have these back. 74 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: You have what it takes mental toughness. And I want 75 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 3: to encourage every one of us to take the time 76 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 3: to fill your mental bank account. You know, I love 77 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 3: my kids so much. My husband and my children are 78 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 3: the greatest gift that God's ever given me. They're my life. 79 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 3: I love them so much. I'll do anything for them. 80 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 3: I try to do everything for them. I bug them, 81 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 3: I get around them, I want to be around them. 82 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 3: My children say, you love me too much. Mom. I 83 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 3: love my husband. I'd rather spend time with him bike 84 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 3: riding or just hanging out than anybody else. But if 85 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 3: my emotional tank is not filled, I cannot fill my 86 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 3: family's tank. I can't enjoy the gift that God's given me, 87 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 3: the greatest gift of all. The Bible says it like this, 88 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 3: Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Can I ask 89 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 3: you a question today? How are you loving yourself? How 90 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 3: are you taking care of yourself? How are you building 91 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 3: yourself up? You're a three part bam. You're a body, 92 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 3: you're a soul, and you're a spirit, and it's very 93 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 3: important that those pieces go together. God has given you 94 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 3: a regenerated spirit to connect to his word, but he 95 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 3: wants your mind to be full of his word, anchoring you. 96 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 3: You're not supposed to be tossed to and fro. You're 97 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 3: not supposed to be blown like the seas of the shore. 98 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 3: One day up, one day down. One day you're happy, 99 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 3: one day you're not. You're not supposed to be like that. 100 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 3: God's given you strength. He's called you a conqueror. Listen. 101 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 3: If we're going to enjoy this life that Jesus came 102 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 3: to give us, the abundant life, we're gonna have to 103 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 3: fill our emotional buckets, our emotional tanks. You know. One 104 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 3: of the most spiritual things you can do is to 105 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 3: fill your emotional tank. Now, everybody feels their emotional tank 106 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 3: the same way, but it's a very spiritual thing to 107 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: do because when you're facing the challenges of life, if 108 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 3: you're going to come through unscathed. If you're going to 109 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 3: come through looking like a conqueror, you're going to have 110 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 3: to get some mental toughness. You're going to have to 111 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 3: decide that God is for you and he's not against you, 112 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 3: that you are well able to do what He's called 113 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 3: you to do. See, there's nothing worse than being in bondage. 114 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 3: Can you imagine being tied up in bondage? See, that's 115 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 3: what it was like before Jesus. No, you know, there 116 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 3: was not a grace, a spiritual freedom like there is today. 117 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 3: God loves you and he wants you to walk in 118 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 3: everything that He came to give you. Sometimes it's as 119 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 3: simple as this. To feel your to feel your spiritual 120 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 3: account is to remind yourself that you're God's masterpiece, that 121 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 3: you're made in his image, with his character, with his likeness, 122 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 3: with his strength, that you're unique, that He specifically designed you. 123 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 3: You're not an accident. You didn't just show up on 124 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 3: planet Earth. But God has the specifications on you. You're 125 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 3: lacking nothing. You have everything to accomplish what He's called 126 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: you to accomplish. You need to dwell on that, get 127 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 3: that into your heart and mind, and don't compare yourself 128 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 3: with other people, because the truth of the matter is 129 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 3: they don't have what you have because you're special, you're unique, 130 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 3: You're one of a kind. You know. I believe if 131 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: you really want to have some mental strength, you have 132 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 3: to be your biggest cheerleader. You have to be your 133 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 3: biggest cheerleader. You can't wait for people to validate you. 134 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 3: You have to believe in yourself. Don't wait around for 135 00:07:50,440 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 3: someone to send you flowers. Send yourself some flowers. We 136 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 3: should get up every morning and we should make declarations 137 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 3: of faith. Now, if you've come to this church very long, 138 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 3: or you've been in this ministry very long, watching online 139 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 3: or on the radio or wherever, you know that every 140 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: single Sunday, Joel gets up here and he declares over 141 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 3: us who we are in Christ, Jesus. He is saying, 142 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 3: let's bind our mind to the mind of Christ. Let's 143 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 3: connect ourself to Heaven, because that's what we are. We 144 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 3: are heaven bound. We are conquerors here on earth. 145 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: He tells us. 146 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 3: We're disciplined, we're focused, we're intelligent, we're beautiful, we're smart. 147 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 3: We have everything it takes. Okay, let me just ask 148 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 3: this question. I want you all to be really truth. 149 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 3: And I'm not trying to embarrass anyone. Can I just 150 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 3: see and don't be embarrassed if you don't, that's okay. 151 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: Can I just see a show of hands of how 152 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 3: many people get up every morning and make positive declarations 153 00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 3: over their life. Okay, that's not enough, That is odd 154 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 3: enough hands. Congratulations guys, more power to you. Let me 155 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 3: tell you something. You're cheating yourself if you don't get 156 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 3: up and bind your mind to the mind of Christ, 157 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 3: if you don't say what God says about you. See, 158 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 3: there is a veneer. It looks like a thick wall, 159 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 3: but it's thin. It's just a veneer, and you have 160 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 3: to break through it. Because see, we weren't taught to 161 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 3: say nice things about ourself. We were taught that if 162 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 3: we say nice things about ourself, if we say we're talented, 163 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 3: that we're boasting and we're bragging. But can I tell 164 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 3: you you're not boasting and you're bragging. You're boasting on the Lord. 165 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 3: You're boasting about who he made you to be. You're 166 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 3: boasting about his likeness. You are binding your mind to Heaven. 167 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 3: And when you do that, you are more than a conqueror. 168 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 3: We have to get up and make these declarations of faith. 169 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 3: We also need to decide that we're going to enjoy 170 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 3: our life. We're going to enjoy the peace and the 171 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 3: joy of the moment. How many of you just rush 172 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 3: by life. We all do rush through life, and we 173 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 3: forget to breathe in those beautiful moments when your child 174 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 3: kisses your face, when your husband tells you he loves you, 175 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 3: when you get that promotion, it's back to work. Take 176 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,119 Speaker 3: a minute, breathe it in. Say thank you Lord, be grateful. 177 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 3: Look around. Go outside and look at the trees, the grass. 178 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 3: God made that for you. He made that for you 179 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 3: to enjoy. 180 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 2: Pause. 181 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 3: Take a minute, collect your thoughts and realize you were 182 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 3: created not to struggle, not to barely get by, but 183 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 3: to be more than a conqueror. I bought a bracelet 184 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 3: the other day. It was just a funny little thing, 185 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 3: but you know what, I've been working on this myself, 186 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 3: and it's what they call a pause bracelet. It's a 187 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 3: little beading bracelet. On the back of it has got 188 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 3: a little disk, and inside that disc is a battery 189 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 3: and you can set that little disk to sixty minutes 190 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 3: are ninety minutes, so every ninety minutes, that little disk 191 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 3: vibrates on my wrist, and it reminds me to take 192 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 3: inventory of my thought life. It reminds me to pause 193 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 3: and to be grateful. It reminds me that when I 194 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 3: do these things, it brings an awareness to my life, 195 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 3: what's going on in my thoughts. It helps me to 196 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 3: redirect and refocus. See, we go at one thousand miles 197 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 3: a minute. We're doing one thing and we're thinking of 198 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 3: the next thing that we have to do, and so 199 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 3: all throughout the day we need to just take these 200 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 3: moments to pause, reset our focus, remind ourself that we're 201 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 3: aligned with Heaven, that we can't get under out from 202 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 3: under the mighty hand of God, that we can rest 203 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 3: in His presence. We can relax. You know, you don't 204 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 3: have to have a pause bracelet like mine. These days. 205 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 3: You can set your telephone, you can have a little 206 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 3: alarm go off, you can set little post its around 207 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 3: whatever you need to do. I encourage you to pause 208 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 3: throughout the day and realign your thoughts to the thoughts 209 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 3: of Christ. See God wants to strengthen us and Ephesians 210 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 3: three sixteen. In our innermost being, that soulish man He 211 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 3: wants it to be anchored, strong, and secure in Him, 212 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 3: it says in Philippians four eight. It says, make sure 213 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 3: you're taking time throughout the day to think of these things, 214 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 3: things that are true, things that are noble, praiseworthy, things 215 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 3: that are a good report, things that are lovely, Whatever 216 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 3: is of good report, praiseworthy. That Scripture is telling us this. 217 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 3: You can find praiseworthy, noble, and excellent things in your 218 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 3: life throughout the day if you'll look for him, Amen, 219 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 3: if you'll look for him. So. If you're having troubles 220 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 3: in your relationships, if you're frustrated all the time, let 221 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 3: that be an indicator. It's time for me to start 222 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 3: declaring who I am in Christ. It's time for me 223 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 3: to quit comparing myself to others. It's time for me 224 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 3: to understand that I am uniquely designed for this time 225 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 3: on earth, and that I have gifts to enjoy, and 226 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 3: I'm going to enjoy them. I believe if we'll do that, 227 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 3: we'll see God's love and faithfulness and we will become 228 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 3: more than conquers. 229 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 4: Amen. 230 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 5: Are you in a situation where you feel lost, afraid, hopeless, 231 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 5: where there seems to be no solutions, no answers, no 232 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 5: way out. 233 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 4: It's time for your turnaround. 234 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 2: We all face situations that look like they'll never change. 235 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 2: It's easy to get discouraged.
