<v Speaker 4>Thank you father, and we're here and in your love. Amen.

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 4>So how's your outlook on life today? You get up

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 4>this morning ready to embrace the day. I believe that

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 4>you did. But you know, there's too many people that

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 4>allow their circumstance to dictate their attitude. They don't even

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:17.519
<v Speaker 4>realize that their attitude is a choice that they make

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 4>every single day. See, the Bible tells us to consistently

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 4>and constantly put on this fresh new mental attitude. See,

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:32.119
<v Speaker 4>we choose the way we see life. We can either

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.520
<v Speaker 4>look at what's good in life and decide to be

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 4>grateful about that, or we can look at what didn't

0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 4>work out and how things didn't go our way and

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 4>allow it to give us a negative perspective on life.

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 4>We've all heard that saying the glass half full or

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 4>the glass half empty. You see that saying is so

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 4>timeless because it makes such an amazing point. See, the

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:02.360
<v Speaker 4>water in the glass is the same amount. It's just

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 4>how one chooses to see the water that makes all

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 4>the difference in the world. I know this girl that

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 4>kind of always had a bend towards negative. You could

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 4>ask her how you doing today, and it was almost funny.

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 4>You could predict she was going to start telling you

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 4>the things that were going wrong in her life. One day,

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 4>she said, Oh, I was late to work. I had

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 4>to take my children to the doctor. The doctor didn't

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 4>open till nine o'clock. She said, Now I have to

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 4>stay late at the office because there's so much work

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 4>for me to do. And you know, you're listening to

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 4>this and it almost makes you grin because you're thinking

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 4>you're kidding, right. Then she goes on to say, my

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 4>house is a disaster when I get home late from work.

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.080
<v Speaker 4>My husband doesn't know how to work the vacuum cleaner,

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 4>he doesn't know to how to work the dishwasher, on

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 4>and on. And you know, when you listen to this,

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 4>you realize, you know what, she probably got a pretty

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 4>good husband. In fact, I know her husband, and he's

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 4>a good man. He has a good job, he works hard,

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 4>he loves to take the kids out on Saturdays, and

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 4>she can have the whole house to herself. But instead

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:12.120
<v Speaker 4>of looking at the richness in her life, she chooses

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 4>to look at the negative. And when you begin to

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:20.159
<v Speaker 4>focus on the negative, you know what you see more negative.

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 4>And when you see this negative, it's like swimming against

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:30.119
<v Speaker 4>the current. It's just a struggle. It's difficult and it's hard.

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 4>I believe that we need to learn how to manage

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.720
<v Speaker 4>our thoughts. We need to learn how to rearrange our

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 4>thoughts so that we can literally see what we have

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 4>and then enjoy what we have. The other day, I

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.839
<v Speaker 4>walked past one room in my house. It's my living room,

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.680
<v Speaker 4>and sometimes when I go in there, I think I

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.599
<v Speaker 4>don't like the way this room looks. In fact, I thought,

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.039
<v Speaker 4>I wish I could just get rid of all this

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 4>furniture and start over. That would be so amazing. I

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 4>all found myself walking by the passed the room several times,

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 4>you know, as the days went on, and looking in

0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 4>there and having just really negative attitude towards that room,

0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.840
<v Speaker 4>almost like ugh. And then I realized, I'm not going

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 4>to be getting any new furniture anytime soon, so I

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 4>better just go in there and rearrange the furniture. So

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.040
<v Speaker 4>I began shifting the furniture, putting towels under the legs

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.159
<v Speaker 4>of the couch. How many of you women to pulling

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 4>that couch scooting everything around, you know. By the time

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 4>I finally finished, I stepped back and I looked at

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 4>that room and I thought, I like this room. This

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.159
<v Speaker 4>looks really good. I went and got myself a cup

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.160
<v Speaker 4>of tea, sat on the couch. I thought, I've never

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.279
<v Speaker 4>seen that piece of furniture from that perspective. That really

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 4>looks good. The way that curves are around there. You see,

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 4>I was able to have a fresh new attitude about

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.480
<v Speaker 4>that room. I was able to see it differently because

0:05:56.520 --> 0:06:00.880
<v Speaker 4>I rearranged it and just the way I I rearranged

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.840
<v Speaker 4>my furniture. We need to rearrange our thoughts. We need

0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:08.400
<v Speaker 4>to push our thoughts around so our thoughts don't push

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 4>us around. You know, when you get down and discouraged,

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.840
<v Speaker 4>you need to recognize what it is and you need

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 4>to stop and think what am I thinking about? And

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:22.080
<v Speaker 4>I think oftentimes we need to rearrange our thoughts in

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 4>simple ways. One, we need to be grateful, but sometimes

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.839
<v Speaker 4>we just need to change the atmosphere that we're in.

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 4>Have you ever been working in the office and you're

0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 4>you're tired, and you think, you know what I just

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 4>need to break? Maybe you need to walk outside and

0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.919
<v Speaker 4>begin to look at the trees and the sunshine and

0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:44.039
<v Speaker 4>the sky, and the buds on the flower, the texture

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.800
<v Speaker 4>of the bark, and begin to just say, isn't that

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 4>beautiful what God has created? To just stop and think

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 4>about something differently, you see. I believe sometimes if we'll

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 4>simply just change our routine, maybe there's some things that

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 4>we're doing that we need to not be doing anymore.

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 4>A friend of mine said that every day she would

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:07.719
<v Speaker 4>go out to lunch with the same group of people,

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 4>and she loved her friends and all, but when she

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 4>got back to work, it was just like, oh man,

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.240
<v Speaker 4>I've got half a day to go. She made this

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 4>conscious decision. She said, you know, I don't like the

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 4>way I'm feeling about my job. How I'm just being

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 4>so mundane about it. She said, I'm going to choose

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 4>a few new people to go to lunch with. So

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 4>she looked around her office and she asked some different

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 4>people to go to lunch with her. In fact, she

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 4>got a new little group, and she said, I had

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:39.239
<v Speaker 4>so much fun just getting in a new group of people,

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 4>listening to their ideas, their jokes, the way they were.

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 4>She said, I came back to work and she said,

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 4>I had a new perspective. I was ready to tackle

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 4>that day. It was so refreshing. You see, sometimes we

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 4>just need to get a new outlook on what we

0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 4>already have. I heard about this man who was really down,

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 4>he was really discouraged. He went to one of his

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.240
<v Speaker 4>pastors at the church and he told him, he said,

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.400
<v Speaker 4>my life is just I just don't have anything good

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.679
<v Speaker 4>going on. My life is just a wreck. The pastor said,

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 4>come on into my office and let's just sit down

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 4>and talk a little bit. The pastor pulled out this

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 4>legal pad of paper. He drew a line down the

0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 4>center of it, and he said, let's take this little test.

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 4>He said, on the right side, I'm going to put

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.680
<v Speaker 4>all your assets, all the things that are good in

0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 4>your life. On the left side, I'm going to put

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:34.199
<v Speaker 4>your challenges, your problems, your disappointments. The man just kind

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.199
<v Speaker 4>of hung his head and he said, you know, I'm

0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 4>not going to have anything right in my life. The

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 4>pastor said, let's just go ahead and take the test.

0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.680
<v Speaker 4>He said, you know, I am so sorry to hear

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 4>that your wife passed away. He looked up and he said,

0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 4>my wife didn't pass away. She's alive and she's healthy.

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 4>He said, really, He wrote on the right side of

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:58.679
<v Speaker 4>the page, wife alive and healthy. He said, that's a

0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 4>shame that your house burnt down. The man looked at

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 4>him and he said, what are you talking about. My

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 4>house didn't burn down. I'm living in my house. He said, oh.

0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.160
<v Speaker 4>He wrote on the right side of the page, living

0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 4>in a house. The man said, where are you getting

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 4>all this ridiculous information. The pastor looked at him, and

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 4>then he wised up and he realized he's trying to

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 4>show me a new perspective, a new way of thinking.

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 4>By the time they finished their little session, that man

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 4>had listed several things on the right side of the

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 4>page that was right in his life. And he left

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 4>out of there with a good attitude and a spring

0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:41.840
<v Speaker 4>in his step. Amen, have you ever heard that saying

0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:48.680
<v Speaker 4>that says your attitude determines your altitude? What that means

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.680
<v Speaker 4>is is there our attitudes have a direct correlation with

0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 4>the success in our life. Have you ever met somebody

0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 4>with just a good attitude. They always saw the solutions

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 4>and not the problems. They felt like they could tackle anything.

0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 4>It makes you want to just be around that person. See,

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:11.720
<v Speaker 4>your attitude can determine your altitude. All of you know

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.040
<v Speaker 4>the story about Joshua and Caleb. They were two of

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 4>the twelve spies that Moses picked to go into Canaan,

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:23.200
<v Speaker 4>which was the promised land that God had promised the

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:27.240
<v Speaker 4>Israelites when they left Egypt. And so Joshua and Caleb

0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:31.040
<v Speaker 4>and ten other spies were directed by Moses to go

0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 4>into Canaan and to buy out the land, to see

0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.240
<v Speaker 4>what the cities were like, see what the people were like,

0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 4>look at the vegetation. He even said, bring back some

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 4>of the vegetation, so we can see what the soil

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 4>is like and what it's producing. So the twelve men

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.320
<v Speaker 4>went into the land of Canaan. They were there for

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:55.839
<v Speaker 4>forty days. They collected these huge grapes, They saw these

0:10:55.920 --> 0:11:00.360
<v Speaker 4>amazing pomegranates, they saw the people. They wandered around for

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 4>forty days, and when they got back to the camp,

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 4>every one of those men said, the land is rich.

0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 4>It is indeed land that is flowing with milk and honey,

0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 4>just like we have heard. But the difference was that

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.679
<v Speaker 4>ten of those men took what they saw and they

0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:27.959
<v Speaker 4>perceived it different. They perceived it as it was great land.

0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.680
<v Speaker 4>It was flowing with milk and honey. But there are

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 4>giants in the land. The cities have huge walls around them.

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:39.040
<v Speaker 4>Will never be able to conquer those people because they're

0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.679
<v Speaker 4>way bigger than we are. In comparison to us, we

0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 4>look like grasshoppers in our own site. They begin to

0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 4>take what they perceived and spread it throughout the whole

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 4>camp two million people. Can you imagine they just went

0:11:56.040 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 4>in and spread that. Well, when Joshua and Caleb said,

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.720
<v Speaker 4>we saw the same thing. The land is good. It

0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.640
<v Speaker 4>is what God said it was we need to go

0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.280
<v Speaker 4>up right now, and we need to take that land

0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 4>at once, and if God is pleased with us, we'll

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:20.520
<v Speaker 4>be successful. Ten spies saw the glass half empty, where

0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 4>two spies saw the glass half full. It's amazing how

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:35.199
<v Speaker 4>your attitude can affect what you see. Joshua and Caleb,

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.800
<v Speaker 4>although they had a good report, that good report was

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:43.680
<v Speaker 4>not good enough to diffuse the negative rumors that had

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:47.400
<v Speaker 4>spread throughout all the people. It was so negative that

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:52.320
<v Speaker 4>the Bible says they were crying and complaining and murmuring, saying,

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:55.840
<v Speaker 4>can we just go back to Egypt? And do you

0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 4>know the Lord told Moses, he said, every one of

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.520
<v Speaker 4>you are going to go back to Egypt because of

0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 4>your bad attitude. You're murmuring, you're complaining your perception of

0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:10.920
<v Speaker 4>who I am in your life. But the point of

0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.280
<v Speaker 4>my story, and the one that I really want us

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:17.640
<v Speaker 4>to see today, is this that God gave Joshua and

0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:22.440
<v Speaker 4>Caleb a second chance to enter the Promised Land. The

0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.240
<v Speaker 4>Bible says that the forty days that those men were

0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:30.959
<v Speaker 4>examining the Promised Land, that's how long that the children

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 4>at Israel were going to wonder in the wilderness. One

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:38.040
<v Speaker 4>year for every day. They were going to wonder forty

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 4>years in the wilderness. Now, can I tell you the

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 4>ones with the good report, Joshua and Caleb, the ones

0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.680
<v Speaker 4>with the attitude, if we can take the land. They

0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:52.680
<v Speaker 4>also had to wonder in the wilderness for forty years.

0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.200
<v Speaker 4>But the Bible says this about them. They were of

0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:02.960
<v Speaker 4>a different spirit. One version says, an excellent spirit. So

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 4>when it was their opportunity after forty years to take

0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:10.199
<v Speaker 4>the younger generation into the promised land, this is what

0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 4>Caleb said. He said, listen, I'm stronger and I'm more

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:20.960
<v Speaker 4>determined than ever to take this land. When they thrived

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:25.120
<v Speaker 4>in the wilderness for forty years, the rest of them

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:29.680
<v Speaker 4>died in the wilderness. Can I tell you when you

0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 4>have a perception of who God is, when you can

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.760
<v Speaker 4>look out over your situation and you can have a

0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:40.360
<v Speaker 4>good attitude, using what you have and valuing what you have,

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.880
<v Speaker 4>you can make it through the struggles of life. You

0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.480
<v Speaker 4>can make it through the wilderness moments better off and

0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:52.440
<v Speaker 4>more determined than you ever thought you were. When Joshua

0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.000
<v Speaker 4>and Caleb were about to go in, this is what

0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 4>they spoke to the younger generation. This was their mantra

0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:03.280
<v Speaker 4>their leadership vision. They said, Gus, I can only imagine

0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 4>He looked at all them and he said, choose ye

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 4>this day, who you will serve. He would say, in

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:16.880
<v Speaker 4>every day, choose your attitude. Every day you can choose

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.840
<v Speaker 4>the way you see life. Choose today how you're gonna

0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:24.720
<v Speaker 4>see this journey into the Promised Land. And he said,

0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.520
<v Speaker 4>for me and my house, we're going to serve the Lord.

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:32.760
<v Speaker 4>We're gonna choose to overlook offense. We're gonna choose to

0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 4>quiet the discouraging voices that would try to come against us.

0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:41.080
<v Speaker 4>We're gonna choose to believe that God is a big God,

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.520
<v Speaker 4>and we're going to hope on in faith. You see,

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.880
<v Speaker 4>I believe when we take inventory of our thoughts, we

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 4>will be like Joshua and Caleb. In fact, we'll outlast

0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.640
<v Speaker 4>anything that the enemy is trying to come against us with,

0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 4>and we'll go in and we'll take the land that

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:03.000
<v Speaker 4>God has given us. Amen. Hey man, He's an awesome God.
