I believe God has amazing things in your future. 35 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 5: I hope you enjoy this message. There was a study 36 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 5: done at Stanford University that has said that attitude is 37 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 5: a better predictor of success than IQ. They related attitude 38 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 5: and success. You know, attitude really starts with the way 39 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 5: we think about something or someone and that's how we 40 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 5: developed these attitudes. 41 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 4: You see. 42 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 5: It's interesting because when you think about something or someone 43 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 5: the wrong way, you develop. 44 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 4: A bad attitude. 45 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 5: When you think about something or someone the right way. 46 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 4: Then you develop a good attitude. 47 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 5: So they were saying, either you can have a bad attitude, 48 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 5: and you lack success no matter how bright you are, 49 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 5: or you can have a good attitude even if you're 50 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 5: not the brightest person. 51 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 4: That sounds pretty good to me. I'm all in. See, 52 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 4: the truth of the matter is in the Book of Numbers. 53 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 4: There was two men. 54 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 5: Who displayed this exact study. Stanford just should have studied 55 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 5: Joshua and Caleb, because these two guys. 56 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 4: Were amazing in their attitude. 57 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 5: Now, many of you know the story Moses took twelve 58 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 5: leaders from the tribes of Israel, and he told them 59 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 5: to go into this land that God had already promised 60 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 5: to give them and spy the land out. 61 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 4: He said, go in, check out the. 62 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 5: Land, bring back some produce, bring back some of the 63 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 5: vegetation that's in the land, so we can kind of 64 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 5: have a glimpse of what's in that land, you know. 65 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 5: And it talks about how they grapes were in season, 66 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 5: and how they had to carry a cluster of grapes 67 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 5: like on a long bar, and it took two men 68 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 5: to get the grapes back to the camp. Listen Randalls 69 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 5: doesn't have grapes like that. They were big grapes. The 70 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 5: land was flourishing, but also in that land, they saw giants. 71 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 5: All twelve of those spies came back and they saw 72 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 5: the same thing, and they said, yes, the land is good. Now, 73 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 5: isn't it interesting about attitude? We can all see the 74 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 5: same thing, But we're going to formulate our attitude by 75 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 5: the way we think. You see, how you think is 76 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 5: directly related to your report. What's gonna come out of 77 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 5: your mouth? The Bible says that you know out of 78 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 5: the heart, the mouth speaks. That's why you can't hide 79 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 5: a bad attitude for long. You can try to push 80 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 5: it down, you can try to fake people out, you 81 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 5: can try to act like you're enjoying somebody's conversation when 82 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 5: you're thinking bad thoughts about it the whole time. But 83 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 5: let me tell you something, Eventually, it's going to show up. 84 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 5: It may not show up in that person's conversation, but 85 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 5: I guarantee you it's gonna show up somewhere else in 86 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 5: your life. Because bad attitudes spread, they have legs, They 87 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 5: are transferred into other areas of our life. 88 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 4: So back to my story. They all saw that. 89 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 5: The land was filled with beautiful vegetation, great soil, but 90 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 5: it also had giants. 91 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 4: It also had some strong people in the land. 92 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 5: So ten of those leaders came back, and they reported 93 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:17,799 Speaker 5: that the land is good. 94 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 4: We agree on that, but. 95 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 5: The way we see it, we see it with giants, 96 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 5: we see it with walled cities. We see those people 97 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 5: way bigger than us. In fact, we are small in 98 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 5: comparison to them. They actually described themselves as grasshoppers about 99 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 5: that time. 100 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 4: Joshua and Caleb, they were like ssh. 101 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 5: The scripture describes them as trying to hush the bad report. 102 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 5: You see, they were of a different spirit. The Bible 103 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 5: describes them of a different attitude. They were different than 104 00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 5: the rest of them. You see, they didn't see the possibilities. 105 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 5: They saw the beautiful land. But when they saw the giants, 106 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 5: do you know what they saw? 107 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 4: They saw an. 108 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 5: Opportunity for God to work in their life. They saw 109 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 5: an opportunity for them to trust God for what He 110 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 5: had spoken in their life. They saw an opportunity to 111 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 5: possess a promise and let God fight their battles for them. 112 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 5: You see, they tried to hush the bad report. Have 113 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 5: you ever thought in your mind, you know, you have 114 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 5: this idea and you're excited about what God wants to 115 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 5: do in your life. 116 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 4: Maybe it's a promotion. 117 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 5: Maybe you know, you're really gonna believe this is the 118 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 5: relationship for you, it's gonna work out. There's some things 119 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 5: that you're really believing for are gonna happen in your life. 120 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 4: And it looks good. 121 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 5: But then all of a sudden, those negative voices start 122 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 5: telling you why it's not good and how it's never 123 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 5: gonna happen. Can I tell you, You've got to be 124 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 5: like Joshua and Caleb, and you got to hush those voices. 125 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 5: You gotta shut them down. You gotta say no, I'm 126 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 5: not gonna listen to you. I truly believe Moses was 127 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 5: under the impression that when they came back, they were 128 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 5: gonna bring a good report. They were gonna encourage the camp. 129 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 5: They were gonna bring those grapes. They were gonna go, Yeah, 130 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 5: we're gonna go get those grapes. 131 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 4: We're hungry. We hadn't had any grapes lately. 132 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 5: But it didn't because of the bad report the leaders brought. 133 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 4: They couldn't hush a bad report. You know what that 134 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 4: tells me today? 135 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 5: That tells me that we gotta drive out negative voices. 136 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 4: We can't be negative talkers. 137 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 5: We can't transfer negative reports to our family. We can't 138 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 5: transmit fear to our children. We can't discipline them from 139 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 5: our place of fear. Listen, we wanna build faith. We 140 00:07:54,880 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 5: want to be like Joshua and Caleb. Whenever you're blaming someone, 141 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 5: I've noticed this, and this is what the Bible tells 142 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 5: us they did. They literally were so discouraged with this 143 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 5: bad report that they begin to cry out and blame 144 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 5: Moses and Aaron for all the trouble. See, they couldn't 145 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 5: even see the miracles and the good things, for the fact. 146 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 5: They were so focused on all their trouble, all the 147 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 5: bad report. So they begin to blame and point the finger. 148 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 5: Don't you know that was a bad day. It was 149 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 5: a bad day. I'm sure that there was disputes among 150 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 5: those people that didn't even have to be there because 151 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 5: they were so negative. They were such a bad mood. 152 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 5: They couldn't see anything. Have you ever been around people 153 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 5: in bad moods? Well, that whole camp was in a 154 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 5: bad mood, and you know what happened. 155 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 4: They stayed there for forty years total. 156 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 5: They complained and they remained for forty years. And that's 157 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 5: what a negative attitude does. That's what complaining and griping 158 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 5: and grumbling does so. I would if you find yourself 159 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 5: in a place where you're trying to lay blame, I 160 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 5: would encourage. 161 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 4: You to check your attitude. 162 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 5: If it's someone else's fault, you need to check your attitude. 163 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 5: Because this is my point today. Joshua and Caleb had 164 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 5: a different spirit. They had an excellent spirit, an excellent attitude. 165 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 4: They were at the same place the. 166 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 5: Other ten men were, but they weren't gonna drop to 167 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 5: the depths of the negative situation. They weren't gonna allow 168 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 5: their faith to be destroyed. 169 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 4: And you know, as a result of that, they. 170 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 5: Actually thrived in the wilderness when everyone else died in 171 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 5: the wilderness because they were different. And God has called 172 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 5: you and I to be different of an excellent spirit. 173 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 5: You may be in a place right now it's hard 174 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 5: and difficult. You may not see how you're gonna get out. 175 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 4: But you think about Joshua and Caleb and how. 176 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 5: They continue to promote the Lord. They continued to work 177 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 5: for God. They didn't die, but they thrived in the wilderness. 178 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 5: And do you know because they thrived in the wilderness, 179 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,359 Speaker 5: they were able to take the next generation of Israelites 180 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 5: into the Promised Land and possess what God said they 181 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 5: were gonna possess. You know what I find really interesting 182 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 5: about this good attitude that they had. The Bible said 183 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 5: that when they went into the Promised Land, Joshua and 184 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 5: Caleb and took the next generation, they said to the Lord, 185 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 5: we feel better than we ever have, we feel stronger 186 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 5: than we ever have, and we're ready to take this land. 187 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 5: You see, they were ready to take the land back. 188 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 5: Then their report was, we can certainly take this land. 189 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 5: And that's how we have to be, have to be 190 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 5: of a report. We can certainly do this. We can 191 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 5: certainly fight through this because God is gonna actually fight 192 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 5: our battles for us. If we'll just stay in an 193 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 5: attitude of faith and trust, God can do it. When 194 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 5: Joshua took the next generation of Israelites into the Promised Land, 195 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 5: this was his motto. This was his vision statement, and 196 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 5: I think it's a great vision statement for. 197 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 4: Each and every one of us. 198 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 5: He told those people, he said, look today, choose who 199 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 5: you're gonna serve. Choose who you're gonna serve. Are you 200 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 5: gonna serve negative idolatry? You're gonna serve bad attitudes. What 201 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 5: are you gonna serve? But I'll tell you what I'm 202 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 5: gonna serve and what I've always served, and I for 203 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 5: me and my house, we are going to. 204 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 4: Serve the Lord. 205 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 5: We are choosing to take the high roads. We're choosing 206 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 5: to overlook an offense. 207 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 4: We're choosing to hush. 208 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 5: Those negative voices, whether they're in our own mind wanting 209 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 5: to come out of our mouth, or there from someone else. 210 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 5: We have the choice, and that's the bottom line. That 211 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 5: was his mission statement to them. You choose what you 212 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 5: think about, You choose, and you decide who you're gonna serve. Listen, 213 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 5: we are Joshua and Caleb in this generation. We're not 214 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 5: gonna pass on fear. We're not gonna pass on doubt, 215 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 5: and we're not gonna spread. 216 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 4: A negative report. 217 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 5: But we're gonna go in and we're gonna take the 218 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 5: land that God promised us. 219 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 4: Amen.
