Thank you so much for downloading 34 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 3: this podcast. I believe God has amazing things in your future. 35 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 3: I hope you enjoy this message. I want to remind 36 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,919 Speaker 3: us all today to not be complainers and fault finders. 37 00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 3: Ah Man, Really, we don't need to be complainers and 38 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: fault finders. See, it's easy to see what's wrong in 39 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 3: a situation. It's easy to see what could be done better. 40 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 3: You know, naturally we tend to look at the negative. 41 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 3: Just our natural minds tend to always gravitate to the negative, 42 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 3: and it causes us to find fault. But we don't 43 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 3: want to be complainers and fault finders because we know 44 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 3: that it doesn't please God. You know we're all guilty 45 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 3: of this. I'll be the first one to raise my hand. Okay, 46 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 3: because sometimes it feels good to complain. You get it 47 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 3: off your chest. You're just venting. It feels good. Why 48 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 3: do we complain? That's one reason it feels kind of 49 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 3: good sometime. Okay, let's just get real about it. We've 50 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 3: all thought, all right, just get it off my chest 51 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 3: and then I'll be okay, or we think are I thy? 52 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 3: Sometimes if I complain, I can change the situation. I'll 53 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 3: go to Joel and I'll tell him why this isn't 54 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 3: right and why we shouldn't do it this way, because 55 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: I think I'm going to change the situation right. But 56 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 3: you don't change a situation by complaining, by finding fault, 57 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 3: you usually make the situation worse. Like I said, we 58 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 3: can all think these thoughts of how we could do 59 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 3: it better, But we've got to learn that we don't 60 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 3: have to give life to these thoughts. You see, when 61 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 3: we give life to these negative thoughts, we create a 62 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 3: more negative environment. We not only pollute ourselves with this 63 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 3: negative environment, but we pollute other people. We cause them 64 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 3: to begin to think negative thoughts. It's as if it 65 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 3: can spread if we're not careful. No one wants to 66 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 3: be around a complainer. No one wants to be around 67 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 3: a fault finder. We don't either, So let's watch what 68 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 3: we're saying. Even though it may feel good for a time, 69 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 3: have we ever stopped step back and thought, but is 70 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 3: it doing us any good? Is it really doing us 71 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 3: any good? You see, I was reading this study and 72 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 3: I thought it was very interesting, and these researchers were 73 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 3: talking about the brain and the effects of the on 74 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 3: the brain when we complain, and it says that when 75 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 3: we complain, we literally rewire our brain to complain. You see, 76 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 3: our brain wants to take the path of least resistance, 77 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 3: It wants to take the easy way out, so it 78 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 3: wants to repeat a pattern. So when you complain, you 79 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 3: learn to complain more. You're wiring in this negative pattern. 80 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 3: And so really, what the researchers were saying is we're 81 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 3: training our own brain to complain. I don't want to 82 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 3: be a complainer. I want to be a person that 83 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 3: has faith and hope. Yes, we're all gonna have the 84 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 3: opportunity to complain because there's no perfect person there's no 85 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 3: perfect spouse, there's no perfect job. Life is imperfect. So 86 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 3: we're not gonna get rid of the fact that there 87 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 3: is opportunities to complain. But I want to suggest to 88 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 3: us today to be smarter than a complainer and to 89 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 3: figure out a way to be the solution to the problem, 90 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 3: to not just complain about the problem. To find a 91 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 3: way to act properly when you feel negative. And the 92 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 3: first way is not to train your brain to complain. Now, 93 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 3: the scripture is full of stories, and the scripture says 94 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 3: that these stories are placed here so that we can learn, 95 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 3: so that we can learn valuable lessons for our own life. 96 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 3: So I want to quickly take us back to the Israelites. 97 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 3: When God brought them out of Egypt, he led them 98 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 3: out by a man named Moses. We know this story. 99 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 3: They were led out of captivity by a leader named Moses, 100 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 3: and he did it by God's command. He was able 101 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 3: to do it because God said, I am taking my 102 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 3: people to a land that is rich with milk and honey. 103 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 3: He called it the Promised Land. Now, they had been 104 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 3: quickly captive under the barbaric hand of Pharoh. They had 105 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 3: been mistreated, and God says, enough is enough. I'm taking 106 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 3: my people out. Now. Have you been mistreated? Sometimes you 107 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 3: come out very with a victim mentality. But God wanted 108 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 3: to reverse this victim mentality. So you know what, he 109 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 3: had the Egyptians do. Pharaoh and those people. He had 110 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 3: them pour the wealth on the Israelites. So when they 111 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 3: left Egypt, they didn't leave with nothing. They left with 112 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 3: gold and silver and cattle. They left well equipped. They 113 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 3: left with the mindset of oh wow, this is God, 114 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: because only God could do that. They got to the 115 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 3: Red Sea, and God parted the Red Sea. They walked 116 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 3: through on dry land. They were on their way to 117 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 3: the Promised Land. But as they got on their way, 118 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 3: guess what. They started some seeing some things that could 119 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 3: be done better. They began to look at Moses and think, Moses, really, 120 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 3: I can do this better. They began to look at 121 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 3: Air and and question their leadership. So they began to 122 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 3: complain and mumble and grumble. You see, they began to 123 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 3: complain about their food and their water, and their enemies. 124 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 3: But you know it's really interesting in due to one 125 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 3: one too. This is what it says. It says when 126 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 3: God was taking them to the Promised Land, he had 127 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 3: already ordained to get them there. It was an eleven 128 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 3: day journey. You see. They left with more than enough 129 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 3: to get there in eleven days, but it took them 130 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 3: forty years. Forty years. Was it Moses that stopped him? 131 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 3: Was it their enemies that stopped them? Was it the 132 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 3: fact that they didn't have the right food that stopped them? No, 133 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 3: what they thought was their enemies, the things they were 134 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 3: complaining about, the things that they were blaming and pointing 135 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 3: the finger out, wasn't their enemy at all. Their number 136 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 3: one enemy was their own murmuring and complaining. Have you 137 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 3: ever thought that your own murmuring and complaining could limit 138 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 3: your thinking, could literally stop you from going to to 139 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 3: the next level. Have you ever thought how unhealthy it 140 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 3: really is? 141 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 5: See? 142 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 3: I think if the Israelites could have read the research 143 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 3: that I read, they would have said, oh, my gosh, 144 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 3: I'm training my own brain to complain, and that complaining 145 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 3: is enemy number one. Enemy number one. I want to 146 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: encourage us today. If we can train our brain to complain, 147 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 3: we can train our brain to see God and how 148 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 3: he can work in a situation. We can literally train 149 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 3: our brain to believe that God can do something you know, 150 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 3: God is taking us all somewhere, And can I tell 151 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 3: you right now, you have everything you need right now 152 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 3: to get to where God's taking you. If God is 153 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 3: leading you, nothing can stop you. You see, that's where 154 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 3: the Israelites missed it. They were looking at the things, 155 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 3: the circumstances around them. They forgot to look to their God. 156 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 6: It's easy to blame, it's easy to see out of 157 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 6: these eyes, but we've got to begin to see out 158 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 6: of our supernatural eyes the things unseen, the hand of 159 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 6: God behind. 160 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 3: The seas, that's fighting our battles for us, and keep 161 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 3: our mouths closed until we get there. You see, they 162 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 3: complained about mana. Manna was the bread that came down 163 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 3: from heaven that God provided for them every single day. Now, granted, 164 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 3: they had this manna every single day, and they tired 165 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 3: of the mana. Have you ever got tired of something? 166 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 3: Every day? I go to work every day, I clean 167 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 3: this house every day, I pick up my husband's socks. 168 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 3: You see, they tired of this manna. So they begin 169 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 3: to grumble and complain about this manna. And it's so 170 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 3: interesting that that just took fire in the whole camp. 171 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 3: So they all started grumbling and complaining. And when you 172 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 3: grumble and complain, you know what happens. Attitudes come up 173 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 3: out of you that are not pleasing to God. In fact, 174 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 3: grumbling and complaining can literally change our perspective. They started 175 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 3: thinking about the food they used to eat, the onions 176 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 3: and the leeks and the garlic. They begin to take 177 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 3: their mind back to what they used to eat in 178 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 3: captivity so much that that food became more important than 179 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 3: their freedom. That food became more important than their freedom. 180 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 3: Instead of going to that manna every day and saying, God, 181 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 3: I'm gonna eat this until you change it, but I 182 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 3: am grateful that I am free. I am grateful that 183 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 3: you are taking me somewhere. See, sometimes we all want 184 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 3: something bigger, We want to go to the next level, 185 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 3: but we don't want to do what it takes to 186 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 3: get to that next level. Yeah, I want a job promotion. 187 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 3: I want this job promotion now. I don't want to 188 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 3: work any extra hours. Man, if I could have a husband, 189 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 3: my life would be complete. I am waiting for my man. 190 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 3: I certainly don't want to cook for him. 191 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 2: Though. 192 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 3: We want things, but we don't want what it takes 193 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 3: to have those things. And this was their dilemma. They 194 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 3: wanted out of captivity. God says, I'm taking you somewhere, 195 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 3: but they didn't want to face the trials until they 196 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 3: got there. Listen, if you don't like what's going on 197 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 3: in your life, change is coming, Change is coming. Change 198 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 3: is coming. Change is coming. But you're not gonna find 199 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 3: it by complaining and grumbling. You're gonna find it by 200 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 3: staying the course, by being grateful. See, complaining finds the 201 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 3: worst in the situation, not the best. If you can 202 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 3: train your mind to complain, you can train your mind 203 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 3: to find the best. Listen to what it says in 204 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 3: Philippians two fourteen. This is kind of the antidote for 205 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 3: seeing the negative and figuring out what to do with it. 206 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 3: You can see it's gonna get in there, but what 207 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 3: are you gonna do with it? Don't give it life, 208 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 3: don't spread it, don't ruin relationships, don't stop your destiny. 209 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 3: Figure out what to do with it before you let 210 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 3: it out. And this is what God is saying. First 211 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 3: of all, he's commanding us do all things without grumbling, 212 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 3: finding fault and complain. All right, So there's one thing 213 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 3: I can recognize. I'm not supposed to let it out. 214 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 3: What am I supposed to do with it? God? I mean, 215 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 3: I'm only human, right, he says. A little later in 216 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 3: Philippians four or five, he says, pray, Hey, if you've 217 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 3: got a complaint, if you see something wrong, pray and 218 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 3: ask God about it. Pray and ask God about it. 219 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 3: That's what you do with it. And then it says, 220 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 3: with thanksgiving in your heart. Can you imagine if they 221 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 3: would have said, Lord, this manna is getting a little old. 222 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 3: Do you think you could send some quell? 223 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: God? 224 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 3: Thank you Father for this mana though? And if you 225 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 3: don't send some quaell, I know you're getting me where 226 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 3: I'm going. But God, I'm asking. I'm asking you for 227 00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 3: some quall. You see, if they would have sandwiched their 228 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 3: request between Thanksgiving, I think we'd be reading a different 229 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 3: story about them. God would be teaching us a different 230 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 3: lesson about them. Don't weaken your faith by your complaining. 231 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 3: Strengthen it by your prayer, by your petitions to God, 232 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 3: making your requests known with thanksgiving in your heart. You 233 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 3: see what they did is they left what they had 234 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 3: to chase after what they didn't have. That's what complaining does. 235 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 3: It doesn't say, hey, I'm grateful for what I have 236 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 3: until I get more. It says, you know what, I 237 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 3: don't care what I have. I want more. Really, that's 238 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 3: what complaining does. And the scripture says that when they 239 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 3: thought they were complaining to Moses and Aaron, they were 240 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 3: really complaining about God. Listen, I'm guilty of complaining, but 241 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 3: you know I want to watch my complaining because I 242 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 3: know it's right up there with worry. It isn't changing 243 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 3: a thing. It's not doing a thing for me, for 244 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 3: my life. It's only shrinking it, limiting it, and not 245 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 3: getting me to where I need to be. Let's don't 246 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 3: be fault founders and complainers. Let's be those who pray 247 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 3: and petition God with thanksgiving in our heart. Amen. Amen. 248 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 5: Thank you for listening to the joel Ostine podcast.
