I believe God has amazing things in your future. 39 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 6: I hope you enjoy this message. I want to remind 40 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 6: us all today to not be complainers and fault finders. 41 00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 6: Ah man, Really, we don't need to be complainers and 42 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 6: fault finders. See, it's easy to see what's wrong in 43 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 6: a situation. It's easy to see what could be done better. 44 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 3: You know. 45 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 6: Naturally we tend to look at the negative, just our 46 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 6: natural minds tend to always gravitate to the negative, and 47 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 6: it causes us to find fault. But we don't want 48 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 6: to be complainers and fault finders because we know that 49 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 6: it doesn't please God. You know we're all guilty of this. 50 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 6: I'll be the first one to raise my hand. Okay, 51 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 6: because sometimes it feels. 52 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 4: Good to complain. 53 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 6: You get it off your chest. You're just venting. It 54 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 6: feels good. Why do we complain? That's one reason it 55 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 6: feels kind of good sometime. Okay, let's just get. 56 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 4: Real about it. 57 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 6: We've all thought, all right, just get it off my 58 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 6: chest and then I'll be okay, or we think our 59 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 6: I think sometimes if I complain, I can change the situation. 60 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 4: I'll go to Joel and I'll tell. 61 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 6: Him why this isn't right and why we shouldn't do 62 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 6: it this way, because I think I'm going to change 63 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 6: the situation right. But you don't change the situation by complaining, 64 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 6: by finding fault, you usually make the situation worse. Like 65 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 6: I said, we can all think these thoughts of how 66 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 6: we could do it better, but we've got to learn 67 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 6: that we don't have to give life to these thoughts. 68 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 6: You see, when we give life to these negative thoughts, 69 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 6: we create a more negative environment. We not only pollute 70 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 6: ourselves with this negative environment, but we pollute other people. 71 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 6: We cause them to begin to think negative thoughts. It's 72 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 6: as if it can spread if we're not careful. No 73 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 6: one wants to be around a complainer. No one wants 74 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 6: to be around a fault finder. We don't either. 75 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 4: So let's watch what we're saying. 76 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 6: Even though it may feel good for a time, have 77 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 6: we ever stopped step back and thought, but is it 78 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 6: doing us any good? 79 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 4: Is it really doing us any good? 80 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 6: You see, I was reading this study and I thought 81 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 6: it was very interesting, and these researchers were talking about 82 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 6: the brain and the effects of the on the brain 83 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 6: when we complain, and it says that when we complain, 84 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 6: we literally rewire our brain to complain. You see, our 85 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 6: brain wants to take the path of least resistance, It 86 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 6: wants to take the easy way out, so it wants 87 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 6: to repeat a pattern. So when you complain, you learn 88 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 6: to complain more. You're wiring in this negative pattern. And 89 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 6: so really, what the researchers we're saying is we're training 90 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 6: our own brains to complain. I don't want to be 91 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,679 Speaker 6: a complainer. I want to be a person that has 92 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 6: faith and hope. Yes, we're all gonna have the opportunity 93 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 6: to complain because there's no perfect person, there's no perfect spouse, 94 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 6: there's no perfect job. 95 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 4: Life is imperfect. 96 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 6: So we're not gonna get rid of the fact that 97 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 6: there is opportunities to complain. But I want to suggest 98 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 6: to us today to be smarter than a complainer and 99 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 6: to figure out a way to be the solution to 100 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 6: the problem, to not just complain about the problem. To 101 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 6: find a way to act properly when you feel negative. 102 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 6: And the first way is not to train your brain 103 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 6: to complain. Now, the scripture is full of stories, and 104 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 6: the scripture says that these stories are placed here so 105 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 6: that we can learn, so that we can learn valuable 106 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 6: lessons for our own life. So I want to quickly 107 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 6: take us back to the Israelites. When God brought them 108 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 6: out of Egypt. He led them out by a man 109 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 6: named Moses. We know this story. They were led out 110 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 6: of captivity by a leader named Moses, and he did 111 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 6: it by God's command. He was able to do it 112 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 6: because God said, I am taking my people to a 113 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 6: land that is rich with milk and honey. 114 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 4: He called it the Promised Land. 115 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 6: Now they had been quickly captive under the barbaric hand 116 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,119 Speaker 6: of Pharoh. They had been mistreated, and God says, enough 117 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 6: is enough. 118 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 4: I'm taking my people out now. 119 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 6: If you been mistreated, sometimes you come out very with 120 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 6: a victim mentality. But God wanted to reverse this victim mentality. 121 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 6: So you know what, he had the Egyptians do. 122 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 4: Pharaoh and those people. 123 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 6: He had them pour the wealth on the Israelites. 124 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 4: So when they left Egypt, they didn't leave with nothing. 125 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 4: They left with gold and silver and cattle. They left 126 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 4: well equipped. 127 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 6: They left with the mindset of oh wow, this is God, 128 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 6: because only God could do that. They got to the 129 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 6: Red Sea, and God parted the Red Sea. They walked 130 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 6: through on dry land. They were on their way to 131 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 6: the Promised Land. But as they got on their way, 132 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 6: guess what, they started some seeing some things that could 133 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 6: be done better. They began to look at Moses and think, Moses, really, 134 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 6: I can do this better. They began to look at 135 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 6: Air and in question their leadership. So they began to 136 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 6: complain and mumble and grumble. You see, they began to 137 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 6: complain about their food and their water, and their enemies. 138 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 6: But you know, it's really interesting. In Deuteronomy one too, 139 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 6: this is what it says. It says when God was 140 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 6: taking them to the Promised Land, he had already ordained 141 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 6: to get them there. 142 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 4: It was an eleven day journey. You see. 143 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 6: They left with more than enough to get there in 144 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 6: eleven days, but it took them forty years. 145 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 4: Forty years. Was it Moses that stopped them? Was it 146 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 4: their enemies that stopped them? 147 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 6: Was it the fact that they didn't have the right 148 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 6: food that stopped them? No, what they thought was their enemies, 149 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 6: the things they were complaining about, the things that they 150 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 6: were blaming and pointing the finger out, wasn't their. 151 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 4: Enemy at all. 152 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 6: Their number one enemy was their own murmuring and complaining. 153 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 6: Have you ever thought that your own murmuring and complaining 154 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 6: could limit your thinking, could literally stop you from going 155 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 6: to the next level? Have you ever thought how unhealthy 156 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 6: it really is? See, I think if the Israelites could 157 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 6: have read the research that I read, they would have said, 158 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 6: oh my gosh, I'm training my own brain to complain, 159 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 6: and that complaining is enemy number one. 160 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 4: Enemy number one. 161 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 6: I want to encourage us today, if we can train 162 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 6: our brain to complain. We can train our brain to 163 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 6: see God and how he can work in a situation. 164 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 4: We can literally train our brain to believe that God 165 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 4: can do something. 166 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 6: You know, God is taking us all somewhere, and can 167 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 6: I tell you right now you have everything you need right. 168 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 4: Now to get to where God's taking you. 169 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 6: If God is leading you, nothing can stop you. You see, 170 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 6: that's where the Israelites missed it. They were looking at 171 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 6: the things, the circumstances around them. They forgot to look 172 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 6: to their God. It's easy to blame, it's easy to 173 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 6: see out of these eyes, but we've got to begin 174 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 6: to see out of our supernatural eyes the things unseen, 175 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 6: the hand of God behind the scenes, that's fighting our 176 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 6: battles for us, and keep our mouths closed until we 177 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 6: get there. You see, they complained about mana. Manna was 178 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 6: the bread that came down from heaven that God provided 179 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 6: for them every single day. Now, granted, they had this 180 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 6: manna every single day, and they tired of the mana. 181 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 4: Have you ever got tired of something? Every day? 182 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 6: I go to work every day, I clean this house 183 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 6: every day, I pick up my husband's socks. You see, 184 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 6: they tired of this man so they begin to grumble 185 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 6: and complain about this manna. And it's so interesting that 186 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 6: that just took fire in the whole camp. So they 187 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 6: all started grumbling and complaining. And when you grumble and complain, 188 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 6: you know what happens. Attitudes come up out of you 189 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 6: that are not pleasing to God. In fact, grumbling and 190 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 6: complaining can literally change our perspective. They started thinking about 191 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 6: the food they used to eat, the onions and the 192 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 6: leeks and the garlic. 193 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 4: They begin to take their mind back to what they used. 194 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 6: To eat in captivity so much that that food became 195 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 6: more important than their freedom. That food became more important 196 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,839 Speaker 6: than their freedom. 197 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 4: Instead of going to. 198 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 6: That manna every day and saying God, I'm gonna eat 199 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 6: this until you change it. But I am grateful that 200 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 6: I am free. I am grateful that you are taking 201 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 6: me somewhere. See, sometimes we all want something bigger. We 202 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 6: want to go to the next level, but we don't 203 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 6: want to do what it takes to get to that 204 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 6: next level. Yeah, I want a job promotion. I want 205 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 6: this job promotion now. I don't want to work any 206 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 6: extra hours. Man, if I could have a husband, my 207 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 6: life would be complete. I am waiting for my man 208 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 6: I certainly don't want to cook for him. 209 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 4: Though. 210 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 6: We want things, but we don't want what it takes 211 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 6: to have those things. 212 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 4: And this was their dilemma. They wanted out of captivity. 213 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 6: God says, I'm taking you somewhere, but they didn't want 214 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 6: to face the trials until they got there. 215 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 4: Listen, if you don't like what's going on in your life, 216 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 4: change is coming. Change is coming. Change is coming. Change 217 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 4: is coming, But you're. 218 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 6: Not gonna find it by complaining and grumbling. You're gonna 219 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 6: find it by staying the course, by being grateful. See, 220 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 6: complaining finds the worst in the situation, not the best. 221 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 6: If you can train your mind to complain, you can 222 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 6: train your mind to find the best. Listen to what 223 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 6: it says in Philippians two fourteen. This is kind of 224 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 6: the antidote for seeing the negative and figuring out what 225 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 6: to do with it. 226 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 4: You can see it's gonna get in there, but what 227 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 4: are you gonna do with it? 228 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 6: Don't give it life, don't spread it, don't ruin relationships, 229 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 6: don't stop your destiny. Figure out what to do with 230 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 6: it before you let it out. And this is what 231 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 6: God is saying. First of all, he's commanding us do 232 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 6: all things without grumbling, finding fault, complaining. All right, so 233 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 6: there's one thing I can recognize. I'm not supposed to 234 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 6: let it out. What am I supposed to do with it? 235 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 5: God? 236 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm only human? 237 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 6: Right, He says a little later in Philippians four or five, 238 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 6: he says, pray, Hey, if you've got a complaint, if 239 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 6: you see something wrong, pray and ask God about it. 240 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 4: Pray and ask God about it. That's what you do 241 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 4: with it. 242 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 6: And then it says, with thanksgiving in your heart. Can 243 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 6: you imagine if they would have said, Lord. 244 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 4: This manna is getting a little old. Do you think 245 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 4: you could send some quell? 246 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 6: God? 247 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 4: Thank you Father for this mana though? 248 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 6: And if you don't send some quall, I know you're 249 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 6: getting me where I'm going. 250 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 4: But God, I'm asking, I'm asking you for some quail. 251 00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 4: You see. 252 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 6: If they would have seen whiched their request between Thanksgiving, I. 253 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 4: Think we'd be reading a different story about them. 254 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 6: God would be teaching us a different lesson about them. 255 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,479 Speaker 4: Don't weaken your faith by your complaining. 256 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 6: Strengthen it by your prayer, by your petitions to God, 257 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 6: making your requests known with thanksgiving in your heart, you 258 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 6: see what they did is they left what they had 259 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 6: to chase after what they didn't have. That's what complaining does. 260 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 6: It doesn't say, hey, I'm grateful for what I have 261 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 6: until I get more. 262 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 4: It says, you know what, I don't care what I have. 263 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 4: I want more. 264 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 6: Really, that's what complaining does. And the scripture says that 265 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 6: when they thought they were complaining to Moses and Aaron, 266 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 6: they were really complaining about God. Listen, I'm guilty of complaining, 267 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,479 Speaker 6: But you know what, I want to watch my complaining because. 268 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 4: I know it's right up there with worry. 269 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 6: It isn't changing a thing. It's not doing a thing 270 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 6: for me for my life. It's only shrinking it, limiting 271 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 6: it and not getting me. 272 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 4: To where I need to be. Let's don't be fault 273 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 4: founders and complainers. 274 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 6: Let's be those who pray and petition God with thanksgiving 275 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 6: in our heart. 276 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 4: Amen.
