1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,279
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 2: the ministry.

4
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 3: If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a

5
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 3: blessing and share it with a friend.

6
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 2: We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in

7
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: your life.

8
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: God bless you.

9
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: It's great to be with you today, and I hope

10
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: you'll stay connected with us during the week. Have a

11
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media, and you can come.

12
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 1: Visit us in person. We'd love to have you be

13
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: a part of one of our services.

14
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: I'd like to start with something funny, and I heard

15
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 2: about these three pastors that were in a boat together fishing.

16
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: One of them said, we never get to let our

17
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: hair down. Let's each tell the greatest area that we

18
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 2: struggle in, our greatest sin, so we can pray for

19
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: each other. The first pastor said, I hate to admit it,

20
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 2: but I have a problem with gambling.

21
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: Some nights I sneak out and gamble.

22
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: Second pastor said, I'm ashamed to admit this, but I

23
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: have a problem with cheating.

24
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: I hardly ever pay my taxes. The third pastor sat

25
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: there silently. They waited and waited. He wouldn't budge.

26
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: They said, we're not leaving till you tell us your

27
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 2: greatest sin. He said, all right, my greatest sin is gossiping,

28
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 2: and I can't wait to get off this boat.

29
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: Say it like you mean it.

30
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

31
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do

32
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be

33
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 2: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

34
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

35
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

36
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 2: to talk to you today about no more bad days.

37
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: We all have opportunities to get upset, be offended, live worried.

38
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: He can be.

39
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: Small things like trafficker, people who are rude, a coworker

40
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: leaves us out. Sometimes it's bigger things. The contract didn't

41
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: go through the medical tests, wasn't good. Our loved one's

42
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: in trouble. No matter how good of a person you are,

43
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: how much faith you have, you're gonna have to deal

44
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: with bad moments. It's easy to let them take our joy,

45
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 2: steal our peace.

46
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: Or we go through the day.

47
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: Frustrated, our feelings are hurt, we're down because of the disappointment.

48
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: But life is ten percent what happens to you and

49
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: ninety percent how you respond. You can't stop a bad

50
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: moment from coming, but you don't have to let it

51
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: turn into a bad day.

52
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: Jesus said, no man can take your joy.

53
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: No circumstance can make you get sour, No delay offense

54
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: can force you to get discouraged. You're in control of

55
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: your joy. Nobody can take it from you. You get

56
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: to decide your attitude, what you're gonna dwell on your perspective.

57
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: When a bad moment comes, you have to make the

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: decision that you're not gonna let that ruin the rest

59
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: of the day.

60
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: And it's okay to acknowledge your feelings. Man, this was hurtful.

61
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: What they said was wrong.

62
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: I'm disappointed the medical report wasn't better.

63
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: That's valid.

64
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: God made us with emotions. I'm not telling you to

65
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: deny your feelings. Push things down. That's fine for a moment,

66
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: but don't let it linger. Don't keep dwelling on it

67
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: reliving it. The longer you do, the more it gets.

68
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: Down in your spirit. You need to reframe it.

69
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: That was hurtful, it was wrong, but God is still

70
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: in control.

71
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: He sees everything that's happened. He's your defender.

72
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: Now, don't let that bad moment turn into a bad day.

73
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: Maybe you have a bad morning, a setback was.

74
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: Very disappointing, or a bad afternoon.

75
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: Your child didn't get that position you were hoping forth.

76
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: It's okay to take a moment to process it, but

77
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 2: don't stay there to where you go to bed disappointed

78
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: and mad at your neighbor and defend it at your spouse,

79
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: discourage over your finances. If you let a bad moment linger,

80
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: it'll turn into a bad day, then a bad week,

81
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: a bad month, a bad year. You look up in

82
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: years have gone. You don't have your passion, You're not

83
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: pursuing dreams, not enjoying your family. All started with a

84
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: bad moment you didn't deal with properly. May turn into

85
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: a bad hour. You have to process it, even a

86
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: bad morning, but don't let it turn into a bad day.

87
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: You have to put your foot down. Say no, I'm

88
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: not giving away my joy. I'm not going to lose

89
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: my peace. This is the day the Lord has made.

90
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: I've made up my mind to enjoy it. The scripture says,

91
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 2: don't let the sun go down while you're angry.

92
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: It's a principle.

93
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: If you go to bed with negative things anger, offense, discouragement, guilt,

94
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: that's letting the negativity take deeper root. It's getting more

95
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: down in your spirit. You start the next day off

96
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 2: a little more sour, a little more offended, a little

97
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: more frustrated.

98
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: The longer you go, the more difficult to deal.

99
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 2: That's why it's so important to not go to bed upset, frustrate,

100
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: it worry. You may have a good reason to feel

101
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: that way. You've had some bad moments, things that weren't fair,

102
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: plans that fell through. The good news is that bad

103
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 2: moment didn't stop your destiny. It didn't override what God

104
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 2: has for you. Why are you giving away your joy?

105
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: The scripture tells us to hold our peace. Why are

106
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 2: you letting go of your peace? It was a bad moment.

107
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: You can't stop that, but you can keep it from

108
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: turning into a bad day.

109
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: That can lead to a bad year.

110
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 2: They can go onto a bad life. You have the

111
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: power to decide how long the bad moment is going

112
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: to last.

113
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: And I know some things are hurtful.

114
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 2: It's like they knocked the wind out of us. You

115
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: have to regroup and reframe it. Don't let your emotions decide.

116
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: You decide.

117
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: On July thirtieth last year, my sister Lisa called and said,

118
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 2: my mother is not answering the phone, and she thought

119
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: something was wrong, and of course I jumped in.

120
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: The car and headed toward her house.

121
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 2: And on the way there, a police officer called and said, Joel,

122
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to tell you this, but we found your

123
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 2: mother deceased at home.

124
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: I didn't see that coming a bad moment, losing a

125
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: loved one. I was having a good day.

126
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: Then life happened, and there's a time for weeping, a

127
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: time degree you.

128
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: Have to process what's happened. But you can't let the

129
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: sorrow linger.

130
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: You can't let the disappointment continue day after day. You

131
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: need to reframe it, look at it from a perspective

132
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: of faith.

133
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: In a couple of hours after I got past the

134
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: initial news, instead of being.

135
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: Sad and overwhelmed, can you believe what happened?

136
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: I started thinking about what a great mother I.

137
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 2: Had, and how she lived almost ninety two years, and

138
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: how God healed her from terminal cans.

139
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: She was at church two days before praying for people.

140
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: Right here and I talked to her the night before

141
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: and told her how much I loved her.

142
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: She was a bright light, inspiring so.

143
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: Many people with her healing and faith and compassion. I

144
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: went to bed that night not thinking about what a

145
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: bad day it was, but thinking about how good God

146
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: is and how now my mother is in his hands.

147
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: I felt strength and peace, not in a weird way,

148
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: but I had joy on the inside. I knew God

149
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: was still in control, that she had fulfilled her purpose,

150
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: that we were stepping into new seasons.

151
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: My point is it was a choice that I made.

152
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: This is a bad moment.

153
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: I'm disappointed, but I'm not going to let this turn

154
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: into a bad week, a bad month, a bad year.

155
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: Every day is a gift from God.

156
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: Once you lived this day, you can't get it back.

157
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: When you lay your head on the pillow each night.

158
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: You need to be to say this was a good day.

159
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: Even if you had bad things happen, even if it

160
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: didn't work out the way you had planned, there were

161
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: unexpected challenges. You have to turn those hurts over to God.

162
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: He wouldn't have allowed it if it wasn't going to

163
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: work to your advantage.

164
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: You need to remember the good things in your life.

165
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: Lord, I've had some setbacks, but I want to thank

166
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: you that I'm alive, that I have breath to breathe,

167
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: that I have a place to live, a family to love,

168
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: dreams to pursue. Yes, I had some trouble, but all

169
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 2: is well. My boss did me wrong, but all is well.

170
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: My mother went to be with you.

171
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: All is well. Let's make up our minds.

172
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: No more bad days, no more going to bed sour,

173
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: no more letting people steal our joy frustrated over things

174
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: we can't control. No more letting the offense linger. Deal

175
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: with it quickly and move on. Trust God to be

176
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 2: your vendor decater. Trust him with the closed doors, the

177
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 2: things you don't understand, the delays, the people that walked away.

178
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 2: Those are bad moments, but they don't have to turn

179
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: into a bad day.

180
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: This is what.

181
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: Hbakak did a man in the scripture. He said, although

182
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 2: the fig tree does not blossom, and there be no

183
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: fruit in the vine, though the olive crops have felled

184
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 2: and the fields had produced no food. He was saying, man,

185
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 2: my business is not good. My crops didn't make it.

186
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: My storehouses are empty. He could have stopped there and

187
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: just complain man, it's been a bad day, have had

188
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: all these setbacks. But he went on to say, yet

189
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: will I rejoice in the Lord and joy in the

190
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 2: God of my salvation.

191
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: He was saying, these are bad moments.

192
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: I can't control all of that, but I'm not gonna

193
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 2: let it take my joy.

194
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 1: I know salvation is coming.

195
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 2: Salvation means deliverance, breakthrough, abundance.

196
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: He was expecting God's goodness.

197
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: If we don't learn this principle and we let circumstances

198
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 2: determine whether we have a good day or bad day,

199
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 2: the enemy will make sure there's always some reason to

200
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: sour your day.

201
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: A grouchy coworker.

202
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: You can't find your cell phone, it rains right after

203
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: you wash your car.

204
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: A friend is saying things that are not true.

205
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: All these bad moments have the potential to ruin your day.

206
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: If you dwell on them, you'll get upset frustrated. But

207
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 2: you have the potential to just let it be a moment,

208
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: to just let it go and move on.

209
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: No big deal. The offense came, but I didn't take debate.

210
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to stay in peace.

211
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 2: I got delayed, my plans didn't work out. I'm not

212
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: frustrated I know God's ordered my steps. I didn't get

213
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: the promotion, the scholarship didn't go through. Yes, I'm disappointed.

214
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: It's a bad moment, but I know God has something better.

215
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: I know that door wouldn't have closed if he didn't

216
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 2: have greater things in my future.

217
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: Life happens to us.

218
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: All bad moments are inevitable, but bad days are optionals.

219
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: You get to choose what is gonna be when you

220
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: wake up in the morning. You need to decide ahead

221
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: of time that it's going to be a good day.

222
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 2: You have to set the tone at the start of

223
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: the day. Don't wait to see if it's going to

224
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: be a good day. Decide it's going to be a

225
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: good day. Make up your mind that no matter what happens,

226
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 2: you're gonna stay in peace, no matter what someone says,

227
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 2: how bad the traffic is. If your children don't do

228
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: what's right, you're not gonna get upset and let that

229
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: ruin the day. When you decide ahead of time, you're

230
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 2: already prepared. Then if bad moments come, it's no big deal.

231
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: I'm not giving away my joy. If you have a

232
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 2: disappointment ten in the morning, something didn't work out, it's

233
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: okay to take a couple hours to process it, to

234
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 2: grieve the loss.

235
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: That's normal.

236
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: That bad moment may turn into a bad morning, but

237
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 2: by noon you.

238
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: Need to make the decision. This is over. I am

239
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: done dwelling on it. That's in my past.

240
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 2: I'm gonna enjoy the rest of this day. Don't let

241
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: it linger to where it ruins the day. You go

242
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 2: to bed upset, someone offends you. In the afternoon, a.

243
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: Coworker says something harsh. It hurts your feelings.

244
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 2: The gloom will come, and thoughts of resentment and payback, bitterness.

245
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: We're all human.

246
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: Those are natural feelings. You have to take charge and

247
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,479
Speaker 2: rule over your emotions.

248
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: That was a bad moment. It's supposed to be temporary.

249
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: You can't keep thinking about it, dwelling on it, reliving it.

250
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: If you do, it'll turn into a bad evening. You

251
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: go to bed offended, wake up, discourage. Now it's another

252
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 2: bad day. Before you know it, a bad to we

253
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 2: a bad month. It's changing who you are, taking your joy,

254
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: your peace, your passion. Deal with the bad moments quickly,

255
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: don't let them linger. Don't go to bed thinking about it.

256
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 2: It's not taking your joy. It doesn't have that much power.

257
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: You're giving away your joy. You're letting go of your peace.

258
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: The good news is you can get it back.

259
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 2: You determine your attitude, what you think about your perspective.

260
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: I have a friend that's taking chemotherapy. It's been going

261
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 2: on for three years and she's lost her hair and

262
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: one point lost her voice and had to.

263
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: Take a leave from work.

264
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: But every time I see her she has a smile.

265
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 2: I ask how she's doing joy. Life is good.

266
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: I'm blessed. I'm getting better. Are you back to work yet?

267
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: Not yet. I don't have the stamina, but it's coming.

268
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm getting stronger every day. She had a bad moment.

269
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 2: Something she wasn't expecting, but she didn't let it turn

270
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 2: into a bad day. She had every right to thoughts said,

271
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: this is not fair, look what you've been through.

272
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: She could have lived.

273
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 2: Discouraged, complaining, but she's saying, like David, this is the

274
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 2: day the.

275
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it.

276
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: This isn't a day to live defeated, offended. Look at

277
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: what they did. This is a day the Lord has made.

278
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 2: You're not here by accident. God chose you to be here.

279
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: He woke you up this morning and gave you breath

280
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 2: to breathe. He could have chosen anyone to be alive

281
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 2: right now, but he hand pitched you.

282
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: Now.

283
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: Don't let this day go by without enjoying it. Sure

284
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 2: things are gonna come against us, but you have to

285
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,239
Speaker 2: make the decision.

286
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: I will rejoice, I will be glad.

287
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: The right attitude is my neighbor's talking about me, spreading rumors.

288
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: I can't control.

289
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm gonna enjoy this day. My loved ones dealing

290
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: with an illness. Things are difficult, but I know I

291
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: can do all things through Christ. I'm not gonna endure

292
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: the day. I'm gonna enjoy the day. Well, Joel, I

293
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 2: had a set back in my business. My relationship came

294
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: to an end. That was a bad moment. Don't let

295
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: it become a bad life.

296
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: When David wrote this song, this is the day, he

297
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: had all kinds of things coming against him.

298
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: Armies attacking people, slandering him, spreading rumors.

299
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: King Saul had chased him through the desert.

300
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: His father discounted him, didn't think he was king material.

301
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: All these bad moments he could have easily let turn

302
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: into bad days, bad months, bad years, look at David's attitude.

303
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: This is the day the Lord has made. He was saying,

304
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: this is not an ordinary day. This is not something

305
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 2: I take for granted and just live.

306
00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: However, I feel God made this day. He created me

307
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: to be here.

308
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: I have a responsibility to live this day to the

309
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: full all these unfair circumstances.

310
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: But it didn't make him sour.

311
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: He said, I will rejoice, I will be glad. He

312
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: was saying, in effect, when I go to bed at night,

313
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 2: I will say it's been a good day. My father

314
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 2: left me out in the fields, didn't believe in me.

315
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: But I let that offense go. It's been a good day.

316
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: King Saul was trying to kill me throwing spears and

317
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: I did nothing wrong. That was a bad moment, but

318
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 2: I'm not dwelling on it. God's my vindicator. He'll get

319
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 2: me to where I'm supposed to be. It's been a

320
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: good day. We can't get away from the bad moments.

321
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 2: My question is are you letting them turn into bad days?

322
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: Are you holding onto them, letting them linger, dwelling on

323
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: what didn't work out. Don't go to bed with negative

324
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 2: moments turn into momentum. What you dwell on gets stronger

325
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 2: and becomes more powerful. David could have been giving energy

326
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: to all the bad things, the hurt, the injustice.

327
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: But notice what he's giving momentum to. It's the day

328
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: the Lord has made.

329
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: He was saying, God is my provider, my protector, my defender.

330
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: I will be glad and enjoy this day.

331
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: When I first started ministering, I was invited to be

332
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: on a news program on a local station here in

333
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: town early one Monday morning. Had to be there at

334
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 2: six point thirty and I was already a little tired

335
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 2: from the Sunday before, and he was cold.

336
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: Outside and raining.

337
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 2: They told me to park right up front, next to

338
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 2: the building, in a reserved lot. When I drove up,

339
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 2: got out of my car, and this lady came over,

340
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 2: a security guard.

341
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: You would think I had just robbed a bank. She

342
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: started screaming, you cannot park here. What do you think

343
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: you're doing. Get back in your car.

344
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: I looked at her, in a fog still halfway away.

345
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 2: I said, ma'am, this is where they told me to park.

346
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 2: She said, they did not tell you right. You need

347
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 2: to move it right now.

348
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: I had to.

349
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 2: Remind myself I'm a pastor. My church is across the street.

350
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 2: I'm here to be on the news. I don't want

351
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 2: to be in the news. I can see the headline.

352
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: Security guard beat up by smiling pastor. I had to

353
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: park in the neighborhood a couple blocks away, running through

354
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: the rain, trying not to get my suit wet. I

355
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 2: didn't like the way I was treated, but I made

356
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 2: up my mind. I'm not going to give away my joy.

357
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: I'm not going to give her my peace. Most people

358
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: that are rude, offensive, hearsh, they have issues of their own.

359
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: They're angry, they're bitter, they don't like themselves. Often they'll

360
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 2: try to dump they're poison on you. If you're not disciplined,

361
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 2: you'll take the bait. Get up said you try to

362
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 2: straighten them out. That's a battle you're not supposed to fight.

363
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: If you win, there's no benefit. What did you prove?

364
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: This was at six point thirty in the morning.

365
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 2: That bad moment had the potential to sour the rest

366
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 2: of my day.

367
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: But I had the potential to not let that happen.

368
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 2: Your emotions are either controlled by your circumstances.

369
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: Or your character. You get to choose. Nobody can take

370
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: your joy.

371
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 2: They can try to bait you into giving it to them.

372
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: If you fall into that trap, the enemy will control

373
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 2: your life. He'll use people, delays, unfair things to keep

374
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 2: you upset, offended, worry how many of us are taking debate.

375
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 2: Sure there will be bad moments, but recognize what it

376
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 2: is just a moment. You have the power to let

377
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 2: it stay a moment. You can dismiss it, forgive the wrong,

378
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 2: and move on. Now it's in your past, there's no

379
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: more power over you.

380
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: Takes up no more energy.

381
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 2: But if you keep dwelling on it, reliving it, thinking

382
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 2: about how wrong it was, then you're feeding it, creating momentum.

383
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: Now it becomes bigger and more hurtful.

384
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: The problem is it's taking your emotional energy, energy that

385
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 2: you need to enjoy your life, love your family, pursue

386
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: your dreams. I went in and I did the program.

387
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 2: This security officer saw me on the screen. As I

388
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: was leaving, she came running up old pastor ostein.

389
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: I didn't know that was you. I'll watch you every Sunday.

390
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: I thought, you don't ever listen.

391
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 2: She said, do you have time to pray for me?

392
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: I thought I would if I didn't have to walk

393
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: so far. Let me challenge.

394
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 2: You don't let the bad moments turn into bad days.

395
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 2: You can't stop these things from coming. Sometimes it's little

396
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: things that are taking our joy.

397
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: We don't realize that life is flying by.

398
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 2: What does it matter that the clerk was rude to

399
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: you or that car cut you off in traffic. You're

400
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: never going to see them again. Why would you give

401
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 2: them your joy? They're not that important to you. Or

402
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 2: maybe it was something big. You lost, a loved one

403
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: went through a breakup. I know that's painful, but it

404
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: didn't stop your destiny. Take the right amount of time

405
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 2: to grieve the loss, then move on.

406
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: It's a moment. It's not supposed to be a lifetime.

407
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: If you keep dwelling on it, you're feeding it and

408
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 2: giving it momentum. And the reason you can't get past

409
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: it is because you're making it stronger.

410
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,479
Speaker 1: Let it go, Learn to reframe it.

411
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 2: I didn't like when my father suddenly passed in nineteen

412
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 2: ninety nine, but I thought about the blessed life he

413
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 2: had lived and all the time that we had together.

414
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: You can choose to see the positive or the negative,

415
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: to focus on what you lost or on what you

416
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 2: have left to complain about. What went wrong, or to

417
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 2: thank God for what's gone right. Bad moments are inevitable,

418
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 2: but bad days are optional. You get to choose how

419
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: do you respond. But sometimes we've learned wrong habits. What

420
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 2: we've seen modeled growing up when things didn't go right

421
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 2: was anger and offense and payback and get discouraged. Try

422
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 2: a new approach when negative things happen. Remind yourself, this

423
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 2: is just a bad moment. It's not the end of

424
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 2: my story. It's not going to determine my attitude, my joy.

425
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: You're in control. Process it, learn from it, then give

426
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: it to God and move on.

427
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 2: You can't control people or control circumstances, but you can

428
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 2: control you.

429
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,479
Speaker 1: When that lady was rude, I chose to rise above it.

430
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: I chose to stay in peace. When my brother Paul

431
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: showed a picture of our.

432
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: Dog with my face on it, hey called me pastor Fifi.

433
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: I chose to overlook the offense, to return good for evil.

434
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 4: But the scripture says that's like putting coals of fire

435
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 4: on them if you haven't seen the picture good. The

436
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 4: apostle Paul said, Philippians for rejoice in the Lord.

437
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: Always and again. I say, rejoice. What's significant is.

438
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 2: Paul wrote this from a prison cell where he was

439
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: chained and awaiting trial. Paul had been through all kinds

440
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 2: of hardships. Anyone knew about bad moments. Anyone had the

441
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: right to be bitter and upset.

442
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 1: It would have been Paul. He had been.

443
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 2: Falsely accused, betrayed, He was shipwrecked, spent the night on

444
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 2: the open sea, bit by poisonous snake. He sat down

445
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 2: in this prison thought about all he had been through,

446
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: what was the secret of him fulfilling his purpose?

447
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: And wrote these words.

448
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 2: Rejoice in the Lord Lord always, and in case we

449
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 2: didn't get it the first time, he said, and again

450
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: I say rejoice.

451
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: He was saying. There will be times that you don't

452
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: feel like it, but people do you wrong. It's not fair.

453
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: That's when you have to dig down deep and say.

454
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 2: I will rejoice. This is the day the Lord has made.

455
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 2: I am not going to let this bad moment turn

456
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: into a bad day. One time, Paul and Silas had

457
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 2: been out ministering and they were attacked and beaten by

458
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 2: this angry mob. They arrested them and put them in

459
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 2: the deepest dungeon. Never dreamed they would be there all

460
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: the circumstances said this is a bad day. They were

461
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 2: bruised and hurting, facing death. Surely they would be complaining, God,

462
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 2: we were doing your will.

463
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: Why did this happen? Surely they would go to bed saying,

464
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: I'm glad this day is over. It's been a nightmare.

465
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 2: No. At midnight, the scripture says they were singing praises

466
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 2: and thanking God, despite being one of the worst days

467
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 2: of their lives. Before they laid their head down in

468
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 2: the prison, they were saying.

469
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: In effect, it's been a good day. God.

470
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: We know you're still on the throne. About that time,

471
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: there's a great earthquake. The prison doors flung open, chains

472
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 2: fell off their feet. They walked out as free men.

473
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 2: Never would have happened if they'd been focused on the hurt,

474
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 2: angry at their enemies, reliving the disappointments.

475
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: Let's be like Paul and Silas. Even on the hard days,

476
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: when it's not fair, life throws us a curve. We

477
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: reframe it.

478
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 2: We remind ourselves God is still in control. We don't

479
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: give away our joy, we don't let go of our peace.

480
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: We rejoice always. Will you make that decision with me?

481
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: No more bad days?

482
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: Life's too short to let our circumstances control us or

483
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 2: other people determine our moods. You can't control all that

484
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 2: take control of you, your attitude, your thought. This is

485
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 2: the day the Lord has made. Now make sure you're

486
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 2: a good steward of it. Next time something negative happens,

487
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 2: just remind yourself it's a bad moment.

488
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to turn into a bad day, a

489
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: bad monk. Don't let it linger, let it go and

490
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: move on.

491
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 2: When you lay down at night, you need to be

492
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 2: able to say this was a good day. God, I

493
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: thank you that I'm alive. If you'll do this, you

494
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 2: may have some bad moments, but I believe and declare

495
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 2: no more bad days.

496
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: You're going to rise above it.

497
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 2: Enjoy your life, have peace in the midst of the storm.

498
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: Like Paul.

499
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 2: God's going to fight your battles and take you to

500
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 2: the fullness of your destiny. In Jesus's name, And if

501
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 2: you receive it, can you say amen? I'd like to

502
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 2: give you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of

503
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 2: your life.

504
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 1: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I

505
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make

506
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: you my Lord and Savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, we.

507
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 2: Believe you got born again and we'd love to send

508
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 2: you some free information on your new walk with the Lord.

509
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,959
Speaker 2: You can text the number on the screen or go

510
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 2: to the website. But I hope you'll get into a

511
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: good Bible based church and keep God first place. Many

512
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 2: people believe that God can heal, but when nothing is

513
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 2: improving our prayers are not being answered, it's easy to think, will.

514
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: God heal me? The truth is God still loves to heal.

515
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 2: I've witnessed God's healing power firsthand in my own family.

516
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 2: When situations seemed impossible and medically speaking, there were no options,

517
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: God stepped in and made away. Now I love to

Speaker 2: can't see it. God is still working as you stand

00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 2: firm and declare his promises, healing is on the way.

523
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,400
