Start your comeback at Purdueglobal dot edu. 28 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 4: I want to remind us all today to not be 29 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 4: complainers and fault finders. Oh man, really, we don't need 30 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 4: to be complainers and fault finders. See, it's easy to 31 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 4: see what's wrong in a situation. It's easy to see 32 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 4: what could be done better. You know, naturally we tend 33 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 4: to look at the negative. Just our natural minds tend 34 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 4: to always gravitate to the negative, and it causes us 35 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 4: to find fault. But we don't want to be complainers 36 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 4: and fault finders. 37 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 5: Because we know that it doesn't please God. You know 38 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 5: we're all guilty of this. 39 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 4: I'll be the first one to raise my hand, okay, 40 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 4: because sometimes it feels good to complain. You get it 41 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 4: off your chest. You're just venting. It feels good. Why 42 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 4: do we complain? That's one reason it feels kind of 43 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 4: good Sometime okay, let's just get real about it. We've 44 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 4: all thought, all right, just get it off my chest 45 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 4: and then I'll be okay. Or we think, or I 46 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 4: think sometimes if I complain, I can change the situation. 47 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 5: I'll go to Joel and I'll tell him why this 48 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 5: isn't right and why we shouldn't do it this. 49 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 4: Way, because I think I'm gonna change the situation right. 50 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 4: But you don't change the situation by complaining, by finding fault, 51 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 4: you usually make the situation worse. Like I said, we 52 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 4: can all think these thoughts of how we could do 53 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 4: it better, but we've got to learn that we don't 54 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 4: have to give life to these thoughts. You see, when 55 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 4: we give life to these negative thoughts, we create a 56 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 4: more negative environment. We not only pollute ourselves with this 57 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 4: negative environment, but we pollute other people. We cause them 58 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 4: to begin to think negative thoughts. It's as if it 59 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 4: can spread if we're not careful. No one wants to 60 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 4: be around a complainer. No one wants to be around 61 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 4: a fault finder. We don't either, So let's watch what 62 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 4: we're saying. Even though it may feel good for a time, 63 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 4: have we ever stopped step back and thought? But is 64 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 4: it doing us any good? Is it really doing us 65 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 4: any good? You see, I was reading this study and 66 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 4: I thought it was very interesting and these reasons. We're 67 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 4: talking about the brain and the effects of the on 68 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 4: the brain when we complain, and it says that when 69 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 4: we complain, we literally. 70 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 5: Rewire our brain to complain. 71 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 4: You see, our brain wants to take the path of 72 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 4: least resistance, It wants to take the easy way out, 73 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 4: so it wants to repeat a pattern. So when you complain, 74 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 4: you learn to complain more. You're wiring in this negative pattern. 75 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 4: And so really, what the researchers we're saying is we're 76 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 4: training our own brains to complain. I don't want to 77 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 4: be a complainer. 78 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 5: I want to be a person that has faith and hope. 79 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 4: Yes, we're all gonna have the opportunity to complain because 80 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 4: there's no perfect person, there's no perfect spouse, there's no 81 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 4: perfect job. 82 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 5: Life is imperfect. 83 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 4: So we're not gonna get rid of the fact that 84 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 4: there is opportunities to complain. But I want to suggest 85 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 4: to us today to be smarter than a complainer and 86 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 4: to figure out a way to be the solution to 87 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 4: the problem, to not just complain about the problem. To 88 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 4: find a way to act properly when you feel negative, 89 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 4: and the first way is not to train your brain 90 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 4: to complain. Now, the scripture is full of stories, and 91 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 4: the scripture says that these stories are placed here so 92 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 4: that we can learn, so that we can learn valuable 93 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 4: lessons for our own life. So I want to quickly 94 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 4: take us back to the Israelites. When God brought them 95 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 4: out of Egypt. He led them out by a man 96 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 4: named Moses. We know this story. They were led out 97 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 4: of captivity by a leader named Moses, and he did 98 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 4: it by God's command. He was able to do it 99 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 4: because God said, I am taking my people to a 100 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,239 Speaker 4: land that is rich with milk and honey. 101 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 5: He called it the Promised Land. Now, they had been. 102 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 4: Quickly captive under the barbaric hand of Pharoh. They had 103 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 4: been mistreated, and God says, enough is enough. I'm taking 104 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 4: my people out now. If you been mistreated, sometimes you 105 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 4: come out very with a victim mentality. But God wanted 106 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 4: to reverse this victim mentality. So you know what he 107 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 4: had the Egyptians do. Pharaoh and those people, he had 108 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 4: them pour the wealth on the Israelites. So when they 109 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 4: left Egypt, they didn't leave with nothing. They left with 110 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 4: gold and silver and cattle. 111 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 5: They left well equipped. 112 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 4: They left with the mindset of, oh wow, this is God, 113 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 4: because only God could do that. They got to the 114 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 4: Red Sea, and God parted the Red Sea. They walked 115 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 4: through on dry land. They were on their way to 116 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 4: the Promised Land. 117 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 5: But as they. 118 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 4: Got on their way, guess what, they started some seeing 119 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 4: some things that could be done better. 120 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 5: They began to look. 121 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 4: At Moses and think, Moses, really, I can do this better. 122 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 4: They began to look at Airor and question their leadership. 123 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 4: So they began to complain and mumble and grumble. 124 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 5: You see. 125 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 4: They began to complain about their food and their water, 126 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 4: and their enemies. But you know, it's really interesting in 127 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 4: Deuteronomy one two, this is what it says. It says 128 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 4: when God was taking them to the Promised Land, he 129 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 4: had already ordained to get them there. 130 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 5: It was an eleven day journey. You see. 131 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 4: They left with more than enough to get there in 132 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 4: eleven days, but it took them forty years. Forty years. 133 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 4: Was it Moses that stopped them? Was it their enemies 134 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 4: that stopped them? Was it the fact that they didn't 135 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 4: have the right food, that stopped them. 136 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 5: No, what they. 137 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 4: Thought was their enemies, the things they were complaining about, 138 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 4: the things that they were blaming and pointing the finger out, 139 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 4: wasn't their enemy at all. 140 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 5: Their number one enemy was their own murmuring and complaining. 141 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 4: Have you ever thought that your own murmuring and complaining 142 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 4: could limit your thinking, could literally stop you from going 143 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 4: to the next level? 144 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 5: Have you ever thought how unhealthy it really is? 145 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 6: See? 146 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 4: I think if the Israelites could have read the research 147 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 4: that I read, they would have said, oh my gosh, 148 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 4: I'm training my own brain to complain, and that complaining 149 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 4: is enemy number one. 150 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 5: Enemy number one. I want to encourage us today. 151 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 4: If we can train our brain to complain, we can 152 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 4: train our brain to see God and how he can. 153 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 5: Work in a situation. 154 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 4: We can literally train our brain to believe that God 155 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 4: can do something. You know, God is taking us all somewhere, 156 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 4: And can I tell you right now, you have everything 157 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 4: you need right now to get to where God's taking you. 158 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 4: If God is leading you, nothing can stop you. You see, 159 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 4: that's where the Israelites missed it. They were looking at 160 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 4: the things, the circumstances around them. 161 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 5: They forgot to look to their. 162 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 4: God, it's easy to blame, it's easy to see out 163 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 4: of these eyes. But we've got to begin to see 164 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 4: out of our supernatural eyes the things unseen, the hand 165 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 4: of God behind the scenes, that's fighting our battles for us, 166 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 4: and keep our mouth closed until we get there. You see, 167 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 4: they complained about mana. Manna was the bread that came 168 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 4: down from heaven that God provided for them every single day. 169 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 5: Now, granted, they had this. 170 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 4: Manna every single day, and they tired of the mana. 171 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 5: Have you ever got tired of something? Every day? 172 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 4: I go to work every day, I clean this house 173 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 4: every day, I pick up my husband's socks. 174 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 5: You see, they tired of this manna. 175 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 4: So they begin to grumble and complain about this manna. 176 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 4: And it's so interesting that that just took fire in 177 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 4: the whole camp. So they all started grumbling and complaining. 178 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 4: And when you grumble and complain, you know what happens. 179 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 4: Attitudes come up out of you that are not pleasing 180 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 4: to God. In fact, grumbling and complaining can literally change 181 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 4: our perspective. They started thinking about the food they used 182 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 4: to eat, the onions and the leeks and the garlic. 183 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 5: They begin to take their mind back to what they used. 184 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 4: To eat in captivity so much that that food became 185 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 4: more important than their freedom, instead of going to that 186 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 4: manna every day and saying, God, I want to eat 187 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 4: this until you change it. But I am grateful that 188 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 4: I am free. I am grateful that you are taking 189 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 4: me somewhere. See, sometimes we all want something bigger. We 190 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 4: want to go to the next level, but we don't 191 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 4: want to do what it takes to get to that 192 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 4: next level. Yeah, I want a job promotion. I want 193 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 4: this job promotion now. I don't want to work any 194 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 4: extra hours. Man, if I could have a husband, my 195 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 4: life would be complete. 196 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 5: I am waiting for my man. I certainly don't want 197 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 5: to cook for him. 198 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 3: Though. 199 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 4: We want things, but we don't want what it takes to. 200 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 5: Have those things. 201 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 4: And this was their dilemma. They wanted out of captivity. 202 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 4: God says, I'm taking you somewhere, but they didn't want 203 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 4: to face the trials until they got there. Listen, if 204 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 4: you don't like what's going on in your life, change 205 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 4: is coming. 206 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 5: Change is coming. Change is coming. Change is coming. 207 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 4: But you're not gonna find it by complaining and grumbling. 208 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 4: You're gonna find it by staying the course, by being grateful. See, 209 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 4: complaining finds the worst in the situation, not the best. 210 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 4: If you can train your mind to complain, you can 211 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 4: train your mind to find the best. Listen to what 212 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 4: it says in Philippians two fourteen. This is kind of 213 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 4: the antidote for seeing the negative and figuring out what. 214 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 5: To do with it. You can see it's gonna get 215 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 5: in there. But what are you gonna do with it? 216 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 4: Don't give it life, don't spread it, don't ruin relationships, 217 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 4: don't stop your destiny. Figure out what to do with 218 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,719 Speaker 4: it before you let it out. And this is what 219 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 4: God is saying. First of all, He's commanding us do 220 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 4: all things without grumbling, finding fault and complaining. All right, 221 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 4: so there's one thing I can recognize. I'm not supposed 222 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 4: to let it out. What am I supposed to do 223 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 4: with it? 224 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 5: God? 225 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm only human, right, he says a little 226 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 4: later in Philippians four or five, he says, pray, Hey, 227 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 4: if you've got a complaint, if you see something wrong, 228 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 4: pray and ask God about it. Pray and ask God 229 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 4: about it. That's what you do with it. And it 230 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 4: says with thanksgiving in your heart. Can you imagine if 231 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 4: they would have said, Lord. 232 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 5: This manna is getting a little old. Do you think 233 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 5: you could send some quell? 234 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 3: God? 235 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 4: Thank you Father for this manna though, And if you 236 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 4: don't send some quaell, I know you're getting me where 237 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 4: I'm going. But God, I'm asking, I'm asking you for 238 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 4: some quail. You see, if they would have sandwiched their 239 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 4: request between Thanksgiving, I think we'd be reading a different 240 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 4: story about them. God would be teaching us a different 241 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 4: lesson about them. 242 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 5: Don't weaken your faith by your complaint. 243 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 4: Strengthen it by your prayer, by your petitions to God, 244 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 4: making your request known with thanksgiving in your heart. You 245 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 4: see what they did is they left what they had 246 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 4: to chase after what they didn't have. 247 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 5: That's what complaining does. It doesn't say, hey, I'm grateful 248 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 5: for what I have until I get more. It says, 249 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 5: you know what, I don't care what I have. I 250 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 5: want more. 251 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 4: Really, that's what complaining does. And the scripture says that 252 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 4: when they thought they were complaining to Moses and Aaron, 253 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 4: they were really complaining about God. 254 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 5: Listen, I'm guilty. 255 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 4: Of complaining, But you know what, I want to watch 256 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 4: my complaining because. 257 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 5: I know it's right up there with worry. It isn't 258 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 5: changing a thing. It's not doing a thing for me 259 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 5: for my life. 260 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 4: It's only shrinking it, limiting it and not getting me 261 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 4: to where I need to be. Let's don't be fault 262 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 4: founders and complainers. Let's be those who pray and petition 263 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 4: God with thanksgiving in our heart. 264 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 6: Amen, man, start each day off right by having Joel 265 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 6: lead you in declaring the truth of God's word over 266 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 6: your life through this powerful thirty one day audio devotional 267 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 6: Say So. 268 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 5: If you're going to. 269 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 7: Go to the next level, you've got to say so. 270 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 6: Say So available this month as a thank you for 271 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 6: your support of our ministry.
