1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 1: Hope you're having a great summer. 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 2: Know that we're praying for you, and we know God 3 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 2: has awesome things in store. 4 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: So great having you with us. 5 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 3: Enjoy the message today. I just want to encourage us 6 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 3: all to open our hearts of compassion. You see, sometimes 7 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 3: we get so busy in life that we don't even 8 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 3: notice the people around us. We have jobs, we have families, 9 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 3: we have chores, responsibilities, and sometimes those things can keep 10 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 3: us so focused on ourselfs and what we need to 11 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,919 Speaker 3: get done that we forget about the people around us. 12 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 3: We don't understand that maybe they need something from us. 13 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 3: And God wants us to open our heart of compassion 14 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 3: to see through the eyes of this compassion and see 15 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 3: what the people around us need. 16 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: See, God wants. 17 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 3: To flow through us to other people. He wants to 18 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 3: use us as an instrument of love. He wants us 19 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 3: to be the hands and feet of Him right down 20 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 3: here on this earth. But we're never going to be 21 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 3: that until we begin to understand this feeling that God 22 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 3: wants to put in us so that it can flow 23 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 3: out of us. It says in John three seventeen, if 24 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 3: anyone sees his brother in need and yet closes his 25 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 3: heart of compassion is the love of God in him 26 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 3: question mark. You see, this scripture says we all have 27 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 3: a heart of compassion, and it indicates that this heart, 28 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 3: this chamber that God wants to work through, can either 29 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 3: be opened or it can be closed. It can be 30 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 3: shut off, and as a result of it being shut off, 31 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 3: the love of God, God cannot flow out of it. 32 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 3: We don't recognize what God wants to do through us, 33 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 3: And can I tell you right now, God wants to 34 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 3: work through you. He's not looking at your mistakes, he's 35 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 3: not looking at your past. He is looking at who 36 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 3: He wants you to be and the things He wants 37 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 3: to do through your life. Because you are very influential, 38 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 3: you hold value in substance and in your sphere of 39 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 3: atmosphere wherever you travel. God wants you to use what 40 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 3: he's given you. And the first way to use what 41 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 3: He's given us is to recognize that God wants to 42 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 3: put in us the ability to understand this compassion and 43 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 3: how it works in our life. 44 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: You see. 45 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 3: I believe that's the reason some people are very unhappy today. 46 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 3: It's because they've closed their heart of compassion. They're not 47 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 3: paying attention to the people around them to the world 48 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 3: around them. You see, if we're going to live this 49 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 3: full life in the abundance that God has given us, 50 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 3: we need to stir up this heart of compassion and say, God, 51 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 3: give me eyes to see what you'd have me do today. 52 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: Open my mind and my heart to. 53 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 3: The people who need your love. All through the Bible 54 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 3: we can read this. When Jesus walked the earth, he 55 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 3: saw the multitudes, and the Bible says that he was 56 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: moved with compassion. 57 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: He saw the sick. It says that he had. 58 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 3: This deep inward moving of compassion. He saw two blind men. 59 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: They were yelling his name, Jesus, son of David, have 60 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 3: mercy on me. It says he was moved in his 61 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 3: inner being with compassion. It's interesting because Jesus walked over 62 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 3: to where those blind men were. He turned right around, 63 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 3: he walked over. He looked them right in the face. 64 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 3: They couldn't see him, but. 65 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: I bet they could feel him. They could feel him. 66 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: They felt that compassion. They said, have mercy on us. 67 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: He said, what do you want? They said, we want 68 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: to see and do you know that. 69 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 3: Compassion that was in Christ? Jesus took it went out 70 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 3: of him. In power and healed. 71 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: Those two blind men. 72 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 3: You see, compassion, it's powerful. Compassion can bring forth miracles. 73 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 3: You see, Jesus fed the multitudes because of the compassion. 74 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 3: Jesus healed the sick, open blind eyes, because he understood 75 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 3: that God was saying, this is your time. Move out 76 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 3: in compassion. You see, he didn't just feel sorry worry 77 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 3: for him. He didn't just say, oh that's pitiful. 78 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: Ah man, that's too bad. Well my heart hurts for them. 79 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 3: You see, his compassion had action, It moved, it had action. 80 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 3: And you see you may say to me today, well, 81 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 3: I don't think I can open blind eyes. I don't 82 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 3: think I can heal the sick. I can't feed the multitudes. 83 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 3: But do you know the compassion that lives in you? 84 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 3: When you're aware of it, it will. 85 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,239 Speaker 1: Cause you to move out in power. 86 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 3: It will give you the desire to help someone else, 87 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 3: because see, it's not you, it's the power of God 88 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 3: in you being released to someone. 89 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: Else for a miracle. How freeing is that. 90 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 3: You don't put the pressure on yourself, say God, I 91 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 3: understand what you're doing on the inside of me, and God, 92 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 3: I I am going to reach out and move in 93 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 3: the compassion that you've given me, this divine flow of love. 94 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 3: You see, we are directed to follow love and let 95 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 3: it guide us. When you feel this compassion, this compassion 96 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 3: is from God. This compassion has miracle working power in it. 97 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: You see. Sometimes we're looking for a miracle, but God 98 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 3: wants you to be someone's miracle. 99 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: He wants you to. 100 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 3: Release your influence, your power, your love on this earth. 101 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: Jesus said there was two great commandments. 102 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,559 Speaker 3: The first one is love God with all of your heart, 103 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 3: with all of your mind, and with all of your soul. 104 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 3: And he said the second is this one, and it's 105 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 3: just like the first. Love your neighbor as your self. 106 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 3: There was an expert in the law when Jesus was 107 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 3: saying this scripture, and he said, Jesus, how am I 108 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 3: supposed to know who my neighbor is? What classifies a neighbor? 109 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 3: Who am I supposed to love like I would love myself? 110 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 3: And Jesus told a parable, told a parable about a 111 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 3: man who was walking to Jericho. A band of robbers 112 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 3: came and attacked him, beat him, bruised him, stole all 113 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 3: he had, and left him on the side of the 114 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 3: road for dead. A priest came by, saw the man, 115 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 3: went to the other side of the road and walked 116 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 3: past him. 117 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,679 Speaker 1: You see, we can't be too busy to notice. 118 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 3: You see, it doesn't disqualify us because we go to 119 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 3: the other side. A levite man, probably assistant to the priests. 120 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 3: They had something to do and somewhere to go. 121 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: He saw the man. 122 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 3: The scripture says that he walked to the side of 123 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 3: the street and kept on his way, totally ignoring the 124 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 3: wounded man. But then there was a Samaritan. 125 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: He was walking down the road. He said, what is 126 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: that on the street? Looked over there, and it was 127 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: a man wounded, laying there, bleeding, about to die. 128 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 3: The Bible says that he bandaged him up, took care 129 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 3: of him, put him on his animal, took him to 130 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 3: an end, gave the innkeeper money and said, hey, can 131 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 3: you help me take care of this guy. 132 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: I'll give you money. 133 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 3: I'm going to have to leave, but i'll come back 134 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 3: and I'll pay any expenses. 135 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: That you've occurred from helping him. 136 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 3: You see, we're all busy. Even that man must have 137 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 3: been busy. He had to leave to take care of something. 138 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 3: But he said, look, he reached out and said if you'll. 139 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: Help me, help this man. I'll give you what you need. 140 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: Jesus said to the expert. 141 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 3: Of the law, which one of these three men do 142 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 3: you think was a neighbor to this guy. The expert 143 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 3: of the law. 144 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: Said, the one who showed mercy. And he said, that's right. 145 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: He said, Now you go and do the same. Do 146 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: the same. 147 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 3: Jesus is saying, you go and do the same. Have mercy, 148 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 3: open your heart of compassion, Let me work through you, 149 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 3: Let me use you in a powerful way. Don't worry 150 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 3: about trying to do it yourself. Understand that the flow 151 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 3: of compassion, the divine love that I'm pouring out, has 152 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 3: power in itself. You see, when about eight years ago, 153 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 3: I lived next door to a beautiful family. I was 154 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 3: a wife and a husband and two beautiful young girls. 155 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: And the wife was my age. 156 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 3: And she came down with cancer, and she eventually died 157 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 3: of cancer. I went to the funeral, and I began 158 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 3: to talk to the young girls, and they were so precious. 159 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 3: My heart went out to them, and so I became 160 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 3: friends with the older girl. She was probably only twelve 161 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 3: years old. But I told her how much I loved her, 162 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 3: and that I'll do anything for her. I'm right next 163 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 3: door and invited her her to church, and she came 164 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 3: to church on several occasions and loved it so much. 165 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: But shortly after that, her family moved away and I 166 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: lost touch. 167 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 4: Life. 168 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: Get's busy. I didn't know where they moved to. 169 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 3: You know, just about three days ago, I was putting 170 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 3: on my makeup, getting ready for the day, getting ready 171 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 3: to go out, and something in my heart just thought 172 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 3: about this girl. Now, I thought about where where is 173 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 3: that young girl? 174 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: I began to think about her, just right out of 175 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: the blue. I wasn't thinking about her. I wasn't. It 176 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: just came into my heart. 177 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 3: I don't know why God put that in my heart 178 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 3: after eight long years, but I really feel like that 179 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 3: it was his divine flow of love for this girl. 180 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 3: And I begin to pray for her. I begin to say, Lord, 181 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 3: I don't know where she is, but you know where 182 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 3: she is. 183 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 2: God. 184 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 3: I'm asking you whatever she needs, Father, meet every need 185 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 3: that she has. Give her wisdom. God, if there's anything 186 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 3: coming against her, Father, just stop that scheme right now 187 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 3: in Jesus' name. And I've began to pray for her 188 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 3: and pray for her, and that compassion just came up 189 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 3: out of me and I continue to pray. I told 190 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 3: Joel later, I said, you're not gonna believe God put 191 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 3: this in my heart. I don't know what all he 192 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 3: wants me to do with it, but I'm going to 193 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 3: try to reach out to her. So I try to 194 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 3: look her up on Facebook and I couldn't find her. 195 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 3: So I've asked a couple friends, Hey, do you remember 196 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 3: this family? If you know where they are, could you 197 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 3: tell me or get in touch with them and let 198 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 3: them know that I am thinking about them, And one 199 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 3: in particular. 200 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: The girls. 201 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 3: Could they maybe reached back and touch me or give 202 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 3: me their number and I'll touch them. You see, my 203 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 3: heart was there. It's not just enough to feel sorry 204 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 3: for those girls because they lost their parents. I want 205 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 3: to move in this compassion. I want to move out 206 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 3: in this compassion because I think to myself, what if 207 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 3: it was my children, What if it was my son 208 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 3: and my daughter and I left this earth and someone 209 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 3: thought about them. But that's all they did was think 210 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 3: about them. I would soul want someone to reach out 211 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 3: and touch them, to pray for them. And you see, 212 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 3: God may put some people on your heart. Maybe you've 213 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 3: thought about some people. Maybe your spouse was saying some 214 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 3: things you didn't recognize yesterday, but today you think, Wow, 215 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 3: they were hurting. Listen, God wants you to act on 216 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 3: that compassion. You see a coworker at work sitting across 217 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 3: the room and you just you feel like, Oh, man, 218 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 3: got lee God to go sorry for them. Recognize that's 219 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 3: God he's saying, move, move, reach out. You'll never know 220 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 3: the impact of what a phone call can do, or 221 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 3: the significance of someone of your words saying to someone, Hey, 222 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 3: I'm thinking about you, I care about you, I love you. Hey, 223 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 3: you're gonna make it. I'm praying for you. You see, 224 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 3: those simple words of hope can turn someone's life around, 225 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 3: can open blind eyes and give them a new perspective, 226 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 3: can heal a heart and change the course of their destiny. 227 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: You see, God has called us. 228 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 3: To move out in compassion, to be the hands and 229 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 3: the feet of Jesus. So today let's pray God open 230 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 3: that heart of compassion. Let me see hurting people around me. Yeah, 231 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 3: I may have to stop what I'm doing, I may 232 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 3: have to take some time, maybe even some money, But God, 233 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 3: I know that when i'm someone's miracle, you will make 234 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 3: sure I get all the miracles that I need. 235 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: Amen. When you're following love and compassion, you're following God. Amen. Amen, 236 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: He's an awesome God. 237 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 4: Our negative thinking can short circuit God's power and blessing 238 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 4: in our lives. When you say, I always seem to worry. 239 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 4: I can't forgive what was done to me. I pray, 240 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 4: but it feels like God doesn't hear. I won't have 241 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 4: enough to provide for me and my family. How do 242 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 4: you overcome this type of negative thinking that limits you 243 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 4: from God's best. 244 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 2: Our thinking sets the limits for our life. Every morning, 245 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 2: you have to power up your mind, get it going 246 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 2: in the right direction, but dwelling on what God says 247 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 2: about you. When you think thoughts of faith, hope, and victory, 248 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 2: you'll tap into blessing and favor that belongs to you.
