<v Speaker 6>Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 6>this podcast. I believe God has amazing things in your future.

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 6>I hope you enjoy this message. I want to remind

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 6>us all today to not be complainers and fault finders.

0:01:54.800 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 6>Ah man, Really, we don't need to be complainers and

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 6>fault finders. See, it's easy to see what's wrong in

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 6>a situation. It's easy to see what could be done better.

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.359
<v Speaker 6>Naturally we tend to look at the negative, just our

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 6>natural minds tend to always gravitate to the negative, and

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 6>it causes us to find fault. But we don't want

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 6>to be complainers and fault finders because we know that

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 6>it doesn't please God. You know we're all guilty of this.

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 6>I'll be the first one to raise my hand. Okay,

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.079
<v Speaker 6>because sometimes it feels.

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 4>Good to complain.

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 6>You get it off your chest. You're just venting. It

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 6>feels good. Why do we complain? That's one reason it

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 6>feels kind of good sometime. Okay, let's just get.

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 4>Real about it.

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 6>We've all thought, all right, just get it off my

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 6>chest and then I'll be okay, or we think our

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 6>I think sometimes if I complain, I can change the situation.

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 4>I'll go to Joel and I'll tell.

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 6>Him why this isn't right and why we shouldn't do

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.360
<v Speaker 6>it this way, because I think I'm going to change

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 6>the situation right. But you don't change the situation by complaining,

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 6>by finding fault, you usually make the situation worse. Like

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 6>I said, we can all think these thoughts of how

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 6>we could do it better, but we've got to learn

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 6>that we don't have to give life to these thoughts.

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 6>You see, when we give life to these negative thoughts,

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 6>we create a more negative environment. We not only pollute

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 6>ourselves with this negative environment, but we pollute other people.

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 6>We cause them to begin to think negative thoughts. It's

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 6>as if it can spread if we're not careful. No

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 6>one wants to be around a complainer. No one wants

0:03:59.920 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 6>to be around a fault finder. We don't either.

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 4>So let's watch what we're saying.

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 6>Even though it may feel good for a time, have

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 6>we ever stopped step back and thought, but is it

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 6>doing us any good?

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 4>Is it really doing us any good?

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.599
<v Speaker 6>You see, I was reading this study and I thought

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 6>it was very interesting, and these researchers were talking about

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.599
<v Speaker 6>the brain and the effects of the on the brain

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 6>when we complain, and it says that when we complain,

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:39.480
<v Speaker 6>we literally rewire our brain to complain. You see, our

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.840
<v Speaker 6>brain wants to take the path of least resistance, It

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 6>wants to take the easy way out, so it wants

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:50.160
<v Speaker 6>to repeat a pattern. So when you complain, you learn

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 6>to complain more. You're wiring in this negative pattern. And

0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 6>so really, what the researchers we're saying is we're training

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 6>our own brains to complain. I don't want to be

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.679
<v Speaker 6>a complainer. I want to be a person that has

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 6>faith and hope. Yes, we're all gonna have the opportunity

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 6>to complain because there's no perfect person, there's no perfect spouse,

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:18.839
<v Speaker 6>there's no perfect job.

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:20.800
<v Speaker 4>Life is imperfect.

0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.479
<v Speaker 6>So we're not gonna get rid of the fact that

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:27.279
<v Speaker 6>there is opportunities to complain. But I want to suggest

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 6>to us today to be smarter than a complainer and

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 6>to figure out a way to be the solution to

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:38.599
<v Speaker 6>the problem, to not just complain about the problem. To

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 6>find a way to act properly when you feel negative.

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.719
<v Speaker 6>And the first way is not to train your brain

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 6>to complain. Now, the scripture is full of stories, and

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 6>the scripture says that these stories are placed here so

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 6>that we can learn, so that we can learn valuable

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.960
<v Speaker 6>lessons for our own life. So I want to quickly

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:09.600
<v Speaker 6>take us back to the Israelites. When God brought them

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 6>out of Egypt. He led them out by a man

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 6>named Moses. We know this story. They were led out

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.920
<v Speaker 6>of captivity by a leader named Moses, and he did

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 6>it by God's command. He was able to do it

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:27.039
<v Speaker 6>because God said, I am taking my people to a

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 6>land that is rich with milk and honey.

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 4>He called it the Promised Land.

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 6>Now they had been quickly captive under the barbaric hand

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:41.119
<v Speaker 6>of Pharoh. They had been mistreated, and God says, enough

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 6>is enough.

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm taking my people out now.

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 6>If you been mistreated, sometimes you come out very with

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 6>a victim mentality. But God wanted to reverse this victim mentality.

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.840
<v Speaker 6>So you know what, he had the Egyptians do.

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 4>Pharaoh and those people.

0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:02.360
<v Speaker 6>He had them pour the wealth on the Israelites.

0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 4>So when they left Egypt, they didn't leave with nothing.

0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 4>They left with gold and silver and cattle. They left

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 4>well equipped.

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 6>They left with the mindset of oh wow, this is God,

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 6>because only God could do that. They got to the

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 6>Red Sea, and God parted the Red Sea. They walked

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 6>through on dry land. They were on their way to

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:32.320
<v Speaker 6>the Promised Land. But as they got on their way,

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 6>guess what, they started some seeing some things that could

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 6>be done better. They began to look at Moses and think, Moses, really,

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 6>I can do this better. They began to look at

0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 6>Air and in question their leadership. So they began to

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 6>complain and mumble and grumble. You see, they began to

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 6>complain about their food and their water, and their enemies.

0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 6>But you know, it's really interesting. In Deuteronomy one too,

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 6>this is what it says. It says when God was

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:08.680
<v Speaker 6>taking them to the Promised Land, he had already ordained

0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 6>to get them there.

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 4>It was an eleven day journey. You see.

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 6>They left with more than enough to get there in

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.680
<v Speaker 6>eleven days, but it took them forty years.

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:25.720
<v Speaker 4>Forty years. Was it Moses that stopped them? Was it

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:27.400
<v Speaker 4>their enemies that stopped them?

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.600
<v Speaker 6>Was it the fact that they didn't have the right

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:36.240
<v Speaker 6>food that stopped them? No, what they thought was their enemies,

0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 6>the things they were complaining about, the things that they

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.560
<v Speaker 6>were blaming and pointing the finger out, wasn't their.

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:43.199
<v Speaker 4>Enemy at all.

0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 6>Their number one enemy was their own murmuring and complaining.

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:55.680
<v Speaker 6>Have you ever thought that your own murmuring and complaining

0:08:55.920 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 6>could limit your thinking, could literally stop you from going

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:04.959
<v Speaker 6>to the next level? Have you ever thought how unhealthy

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:09.600
<v Speaker 6>it really is? See, I think if the Israelites could

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 6>have read the research that I read, they would have said,

0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 6>oh my gosh, I'm training my own brain to complain,

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 6>and that complaining is enemy number one.

0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 4>Enemy number one.

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 6>I want to encourage us today, if we can train

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 6>our brain to complain. We can train our brain to

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 6>see God and how he can work in a situation.

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:40.079
<v Speaker 4>We can literally train our brain to believe that God

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 4>can do something.

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:45.559
<v Speaker 6>You know, God is taking us all somewhere, and can

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 6>I tell you right now you have everything you need right.

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 4>Now to get to where God's taking you.

0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 6>If God is leading you, nothing can stop you. You see,

0:09:56.520 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 6>that's where the Israelites missed it. They were looking at

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 6>the things, the circumstances around them. They forgot to look

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:10.000
<v Speaker 6>to their God. It's easy to blame, it's easy to

0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.839
<v Speaker 6>see out of these eyes, but we've got to begin

0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:17.079
<v Speaker 6>to see out of our supernatural eyes the things unseen,

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 6>the hand of God behind the scenes, that's fighting our

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 6>battles for us, and keep our mouths closed until we

0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 6>get there. You see, they complained about mana. Manna was

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 6>the bread that came down from heaven that God provided

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:40.440
<v Speaker 6>for them every single day. Now, granted, they had this

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 6>manna every single day, and they tired of the mana.

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:49.960
<v Speaker 4>Have you ever got tired of something? Every day?

0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 6>I go to work every day, I clean this house

0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 6>every day, I pick up my husband's socks. You see,

0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 6>they tired of this man so they begin to grumble

0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 6>and complain about this manna. And it's so interesting that

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 6>that just took fire in the whole camp. So they

0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:17.200
<v Speaker 6>all started grumbling and complaining. And when you grumble and complain,

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.280
<v Speaker 6>you know what happens. Attitudes come up out of you

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:24.199
<v Speaker 6>that are not pleasing to God. In fact, grumbling and

0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:30.040
<v Speaker 6>complaining can literally change our perspective. They started thinking about

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 6>the food they used to eat, the onions and the

0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.319
<v Speaker 6>leeks and the garlic.

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 4>They begin to take their mind back to what they used.

0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:45.360
<v Speaker 6>To eat in captivity so much that that food became

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:51.360
<v Speaker 6>more important than their freedom. That food became more important

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:52.839
<v Speaker 6>than their freedom.

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:54.559
<v Speaker 4>Instead of going to.

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.840
<v Speaker 6>That manna every day and saying God, I'm gonna eat

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.520
<v Speaker 6>this until you change it. But I am grateful that

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.840
<v Speaker 6>I am free. I am grateful that you are taking

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:11.319
<v Speaker 6>me somewhere. See, sometimes we all want something bigger. We

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.040
<v Speaker 6>want to go to the next level, but we don't

0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 6>want to do what it takes to get to that

0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:20.360
<v Speaker 6>next level. Yeah, I want a job promotion. I want

0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.120
<v Speaker 6>this job promotion now. I don't want to work any

0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 6>extra hours. Man, if I could have a husband, my

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.600
<v Speaker 6>life would be complete. I am waiting for my man

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 6>I certainly don't want to cook for him.

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:34.400
<v Speaker 4>Though.

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:40.560
<v Speaker 6>We want things, but we don't want what it takes

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 6>to have those things.

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 4>And this was their dilemma. They wanted out of captivity.

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:51.160
<v Speaker 6>God says, I'm taking you somewhere, but they didn't want

0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.880
<v Speaker 6>to face the trials until they got there.

0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:58.360
<v Speaker 4>Listen, if you don't like what's going on in your life,

0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:04.679
<v Speaker 4>change is coming. Change is coming. Change is coming. Change

0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.240
<v Speaker 4>is coming, But you're.

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 6>Not gonna find it by complaining and grumbling. You're gonna

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:17.360
<v Speaker 6>find it by staying the course, by being grateful. See,

0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:21.200
<v Speaker 6>complaining finds the worst in the situation, not the best.

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.040
<v Speaker 6>If you can train your mind to complain, you can

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.760
<v Speaker 6>train your mind to find the best. Listen to what

0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:32.760
<v Speaker 6>it says in Philippians two fourteen. This is kind of

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 6>the antidote for seeing the negative and figuring out what

0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 6>to do with it.

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 4>You can see it's gonna get in there, but what

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:42.240
<v Speaker 4>are you gonna do with it?

0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:47.199
<v Speaker 6>Don't give it life, don't spread it, don't ruin relationships,

0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:50.600
<v Speaker 6>don't stop your destiny. Figure out what to do with

0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 6>it before you let it out. And this is what

0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.480
<v Speaker 6>God is saying. First of all, he's commanding us do

0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:02.080
<v Speaker 6>all things without grumbling, finding fault, complaining. All right, so

0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.000
<v Speaker 6>there's one thing I can recognize. I'm not supposed to

0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.680
<v Speaker 6>let it out. What am I supposed to do with it?

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:08.000
<v Speaker 5>God?

0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I'm only human?

0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.640
<v Speaker 6>Right, He says a little later in Philippians four or five,

0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:19.000
<v Speaker 6>he says, pray, Hey, if you've got a complaint, if

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 6>you see something wrong, pray and ask God about it.

0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 4>Pray and ask God about it. That's what you do

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 4>with it.

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:34.880
<v Speaker 6>And then it says, with thanksgiving in your heart. Can

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 6>you imagine if they would have said, Lord.

0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.960
<v Speaker 4>This manna is getting a little old. Do you think

0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:43.960
<v Speaker 4>you could send some quell?

0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 6>God?

0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 4>Thank you Father for this mana though?

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 6>And if you don't send some quall, I know you're

0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:51.000
<v Speaker 6>getting me where I'm going.

0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:56.840
<v Speaker 4>But God, I'm asking, I'm asking you for some quail.

0:14:58.320 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 4>You see.

0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 6>If they would have seen whiched their request between Thanksgiving, I.

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.360
<v Speaker 4>Think we'd be reading a different story about them.

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:13.080
<v Speaker 6>God would be teaching us a different lesson about them.

0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.479
<v Speaker 4>Don't weaken your faith by your complaining.

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:20.760
<v Speaker 6>Strengthen it by your prayer, by your petitions to God,

0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:26.440
<v Speaker 6>making your requests known with thanksgiving in your heart, you

0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.840
<v Speaker 6>see what they did is they left what they had

0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:33.320
<v Speaker 6>to chase after what they didn't have. That's what complaining does.

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:36.640
<v Speaker 6>It doesn't say, hey, I'm grateful for what I have

0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:38.520
<v Speaker 6>until I get more.

0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.720
<v Speaker 4>It says, you know what, I don't care what I have.

0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:42.760
<v Speaker 4>I want more.

0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 6>Really, that's what complaining does. And the scripture says that

0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 6>when they thought they were complaining to Moses and Aaron,

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:59.280
<v Speaker 6>they were really complaining about God. Listen, I'm guilty of complaining,

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:04.479
<v Speaker 6>But you know what, I want to watch my complaining because.

0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.240
<v Speaker 4>I know it's right up there with worry.

0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.480
<v Speaker 6>It isn't changing a thing. It's not doing a thing

0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 6>for me for my life. It's only shrinking it, limiting

0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 6>it and not getting me.

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.200
<v Speaker 4>To where I need to be. Let's don't be fault

0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:20.560
<v Speaker 4>founders and complainers.

0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:25.560
<v Speaker 6>Let's be those who pray and petition God with thanksgiving

0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:26.320
<v Speaker 6>in our heart.

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:27.920
