I like to start with something funny 13 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: and I heard about this country couple. 14 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 2: They were celebrating their. 15 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: Fiftieth wedding anniversary and they'd never had an argument before, 16 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: not one. Someone asked them the secret of their success. 17 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: The husband explained, as they were leaving the church going 18 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: on their honeymoon, the wife's horse refused to go. She 19 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: got off, looked the horse in the eyes and said 20 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: that's one. He went a little bit further, stopped again. 21 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: She got off, looked the horse in the eyes, said 22 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: that's two. Went a little bit more, stopped another time. 23 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: This time she got off, pulled out her revolver and 24 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: shot the horse dead. Her husband said, what in the 25 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: world are you doing. You can't just shoot an animal. 26 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: She looked at him and said, honey, that's one. Hold 27 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: up your Bible and say it like you mean it. 28 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 29 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do 30 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be 31 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 32 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is recepted. I will never be 33 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 34 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,839 Speaker 2: I want to talk to you about having a positive mindset. 35 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: Every day we get to choose what kind of attitude 36 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: we're going to have. We can choose to be happy, 37 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: look on the bright side, expect good things, believe that 38 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: our dreams will come to pass. Or we can choose 39 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: to be negative, focus on our problems, dwell on what 40 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: didn't work out, lived worried and discouraged. 41 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: It's a choice that we all make. 42 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: Nobody can force you to have a certain attitude. Life 43 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: will go so much better if you will simply choose 44 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: to be positive when you wake up in the morning. 45 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: Choose to be happy, Choose to be grateful for the day. 46 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: Choose to focus on your possibilities. A good attitude doesn't 47 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: automatically come. If you don't make this choice, most likely 48 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: you will default back to a negative mindset, thinking, I 49 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: don't feel like going to work. I've got so many obstacles. 50 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: Nothing good ever happens to me. The problem is a 51 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: negative attitude will limit your life. We all face difficulties, 52 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: we all have tough times. But the right attitude is 53 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: this didn't come to stay, it came to pass. 54 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: It's only temporary. Maybe you didn't get the promotion you 55 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 2: were hoping for. You could easily be sour. No, that's 56 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: all right. 57 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: I know God has something better in store. You got 58 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: caught in traffic. I'm not going to be stressed. I 59 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: know I'm at the right place, at the right time. 60 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: God has directing my steps. Perhaps the medical report wasn't good, 61 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: I'm not worried. God has me in the palm of 62 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: his hand, the number of my days he's promised to fulfill. 63 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: Or maybe it's that your dream is taking longer than 64 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: you thought. 65 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: But that's all right. 66 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: I know the right people, the right opportunities are already 67 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: in my future. 68 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 2: At the right time, it will come to pass. 69 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: When you live with this positive mindset, you can't be defeated. 70 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 2: No matter what comes your way. 71 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: You shake it off and move forward. It's like a 72 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: little boy I heard about. He had a baseball bat 73 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: and a ball. He said to himself, I'm the best 74 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: hitter in all the world. He threw the ball up, 75 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: swung at it and missed, picked it up, straightened his hat, 76 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: set it again. 77 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 2: I'm the best hitter in all the world. 78 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: Threw the ball up a second time, swung away and 79 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: missed again. This time he said it even more determined, 80 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm the best hitter in all the world. He threw 81 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: the ball up the third time, concentrated, swung away, but 82 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: he missed it the third time, laid the bat down, 83 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: smile real big said, what do you know, I'm the 84 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: best picture in all the world. Stay positive, learn to 85 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: focus on the bright side, see the silver lining in 86 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:29,799 Speaker 1: every cloud. 87 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 2: A lot of people use the excuse I'm. 88 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: Negative because I've had negative things happen to me. My 89 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: business didn't make it, a friend did me wrong, or joel, 90 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: I'm dealing with this sickness. 91 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 2: That's why I'm sour now. 92 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: The truth is it's not our circumstances that make us negative. 93 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: It's our attitude toward those circumstances. You can take twenty 94 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: positive people and twenty negative people and give them the 95 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: same problem, put the on the same job, the same family, 96 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: the same house, and the positive people will come out 97 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: just as positive, with the great attitude, as happy as 98 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: they were before. 99 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: The negative just as negative. 100 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: Same problem, exact circumstances, two different outcomes. What's the difference 101 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: their attitude. Positive people have made. 102 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 2: Up their mind to enjoy their lives. 103 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: They focus on the possibilities, not the problems. 104 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 2: They're grateful for what they have. 105 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: Not complaining about what they don't have. Positive people know 106 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: that God is in control and that nothing happens without 107 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: his permission. 108 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 2: They choose to bloom where they're planet. They don't wait for. 109 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: The situation to change and then they're going to be happy. 110 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: They're happy while God is changing the situation. And when 111 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: you're positive, you are passing the test. You're saying God, 112 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: I trust you, I know you're fighting my battles for me. 113 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,799 Speaker 1: And I've learned if you don't get happy where you are, 114 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: you probably will never get to where you want to be. 115 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: Don't wait for everything to work out, then you're going 116 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: to have a good attitude. Have a good attitude now, 117 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: then God can begin to change the situation. And let's 118 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: keep the right perspective. Some people would love to have 119 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: our problems. They would gladly trade places with you. They 120 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: would love to have that job that has you frustrated. 121 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: They would love to sit in traffic in that car 122 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: you don't like. They would love to have your husband 123 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: that gets on your nerves. Some of you are thinking, 124 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: can I give you a phone number real quick? They 125 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: would love to live in that house that you think 126 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: is too small. And as soon as I get into 127 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: this new neighborhood, then I'll be happy. Now, why don't 128 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: you choose to be happy right where you are? Why 129 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: don't you decide to have a good attitude with what 130 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: you have or with what you don't have. It's all 131 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,559 Speaker 1: in our approach to life. One man gets up and says, 132 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: good morning, Lord. Another man gets up and says, good lord, 133 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: it's morning. Which man are you? You control what kind 134 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: of day you're going to have. You're as happy as 135 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: you want to be, And a lot of times we're 136 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: making ourselves unhappy. We can't control the weather, the traffic, 137 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: how people treat us. If our happiness is based on 138 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: everything going our way, everybody treating us right, we're. 139 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 2: Going to live frustrated. 140 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: Before you leave the house, you need to make up 141 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: your mind. You're going to stay positive and enjoy the day, 142 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: no matter what comes your way. You have to decide 143 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: ahead of time. That's what it says in Colossians three. 144 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: Set your mind on higher things and keep it set. 145 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: The higher things are positive things. When you wake up 146 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: in the morning, you need to set your mind for victory. 147 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: Set your mind for success. Our attitudes should be this 148 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: is going to be a great day. God's favor is 149 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: on my life. I'm excited about my future. When your 150 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: mind is set positive, hopeful, expecting good things, that's when 151 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: you'll go places that you've never dreamed. New doors will open, 152 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: the right people, the right opportunities will come across your path. 153 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: But if you don't set your mind, negative thoughts will set. 154 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 2: It for you. 155 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: You cannot start the day off in neutral. If you're 156 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: passive lying in bed, the thoughts will come. You're never 157 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: going to accomplish your dreams. Nothing good happens to you. 158 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: You'll never get married, you're too old, you'll never get well, 159 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: you'll never get out of debt. You may not realize it, 160 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: but that's setting the tone for defeat, for failure, for 161 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: a lousy day right at the start. Get your mind 162 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: going in the right direction. This is the reason why 163 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: some people don't have the energy they should, the passion, 164 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: the enthusiasm, the vision. Their mind is set in the negative. 165 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: It's been that way so long. They don't know any better. 166 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: It's normal to them. 167 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 2: They go out. 168 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: Expecting problems, bad breaks, to not be treated right, to 169 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: barely get by. 170 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 2: They live by Murphy's law. 171 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: It says, if anything can go wrong, it will, and 172 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: at the worst possible time, things will take longer than 173 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: they look. 174 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 2: Everything will be harder than it seems. 175 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: Because they haven't set their mind, they go out expecting 176 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: the negative. They wonder why they can't get ahead and 177 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: why everything's a struggle. It's because their mind has been 178 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 1: set by default, for defeat, for failure, for bad breaks. 179 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: You've got to change your outlook. You are a child 180 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: of the most high God. You are never created to 181 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: live an average get by short into the stick life. 182 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: You are created to be the head and not the 183 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: tell to lend and not borrow to reign in life 184 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: as a king. That means you have royalty in your blood. 185 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: Winning is in your DNA. Now get rid of a 186 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: negative mentality and set your mind for victory. Set your 187 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: mind for increase, Set your mind for good breaks. Start 188 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: expecting your plans to work out. Expect people to be 189 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: good to you, Expect to have a productive day. And 190 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: if it doesn't happen, don't fall back into that old, negative, 191 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: defeated mentality. Ah, I knew this wouldn't work for me, Joel. 192 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: It always takes me longer than everybody else. I can 193 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: never find a parking spot. Nobody treats me right. No, 194 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: you're not a victim. You are a victor. You wouldn't 195 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: have that opposition if there wasn't something amazing in your future. Now, 196 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: keep a smile on your face, keep a spring in 197 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: your steps, stay positive, stay hopeful. God is still on 198 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: the throne. You may have had a lot of unfair, 199 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: negative things happen in the past, but don't let that 200 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: become a stronghold a pattern to where you think that's 201 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: all there will ever be. 202 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 2: You live with a negative mindset. 203 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: Now, if God were to show you all he has 204 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: planned for you, It would boggle your mind. 205 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 2: If you could see the doors he's. 206 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: Going to open, the people he's going to bring across 207 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: your path, the opportunities that are going to show up, 208 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: you'd be amazed, excited, passionate. It would be easy to 209 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: set your mind for victory. This is what faith is 210 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: all about. You have to believe it before you see it. 211 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: Right now, God's favor is surrounding you like a shield. 212 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 1: Every setback was a setup for a greater comeback. Every disappointment, 213 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: every bad break, every person that did you wrong was 214 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: a part of the plan to get you to where 215 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: you're supposed to be. Now, don't fall into that negative 216 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: misths mental complacent, just taking whatever life comes your way. No, 217 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: set your mind for victory, for success, for new levels. 218 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: Enlarge your vision, make room for God to do something new. 219 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: You haven't touched the surface of what he has in store. 220 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: I was talking to a reporter one time, and I 221 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: could tell he didn't like the fact that my message 222 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 1: is very positive and very hopeful. He asked what I 223 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: would tell a person that had lost their job and 224 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: didn't have any family, and they were about to lose 225 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: their house and had nowhere to go and had a 226 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: child that was sick and needed treatment. 227 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 2: On and on. He painted the worst possible situation. 228 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 1: I said, I would tell them number one to get 229 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: up and find something to be grateful for, and number 230 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: two go out expecting it to turn around, expecting new 231 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:58,599 Speaker 1: doors to open, expecting a breakthrough. Proverb says, when darkness 232 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: overtakes the righteous light will come bursting in. When it's dark, 233 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: when you don't see a way out, you're in prime. 234 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 2: Position for favor to come bursting in. He's it all, Joe. 235 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 2: Wouldn't that just be giving them false hope. Well, here's 236 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 2: the alternative. 237 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: I could tell them to be negative, get bitter, give 238 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: up on your dreams, be depressed, start complaining. All that's 239 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 1: going to do is make matters worse. You may be 240 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: in a difficult time, but you have to dig your 241 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: heels in and say, I refuse to live my life negative. 242 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: I refuse to give up on my dreams. I refuse 243 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: to go through life with no passion. 244 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 2: I may not see away, but I know God has 245 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 2: a way. 246 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: It may be dark, but I'm expecting the light to 247 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: come bursting in. I'm setting my mind for victory. That's 248 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: what allows the creator of the universe to show up 249 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: and do amazing things. And it's not just mind over matter, 250 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 1: it's not just a positive attitude. 251 00:13:58,320 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 2: It's your faith being. 252 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: Relief best when you believe, it gets God's attention. 253 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 2: When you go out. 254 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: Expecting things to turn around, expecting dreams to come to pass, 255 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: expecting health, wholeness, favor, divine connections, then Almighty God goes 256 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: to work. You may have had a thousand bad breaks 257 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: in the past, but don't use that as an excuse 258 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: to be negative. One good break can make up for 259 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: all those bad breaks. One touch of God's favor can 260 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: catapult you further than you ever imagined. Maybe you feel 261 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: like you're falling behind, You're not where you should be 262 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: in life. 263 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 2: Don't worry. 264 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: God knows how to make up for lost time. He 265 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: knows how to accelerate things. Now do your part and 266 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: shake off a negative mentality, shake off pessimism, self pity, discouragement, 267 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: and get. 268 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 2: Your fire back. Life is flying by. 269 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: You don't have time to waste enough the day being negative. 270 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: You have a destiny to fulfill, you have an assignment 271 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: to accomplish. 272 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 2: What's in your future is greater. 273 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: Than anything you've seen in the past. We need to 274 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: get rid of the old Murphy's law and live by 275 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: just the opposite. If anything good can happen today, it 276 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: can happen to you and me. It's gonna be easier 277 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: than it seems. It's not gonna take as long as 278 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: it looks. Why you've been highly favored, Almighty God is. 279 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 2: Breathing in your direction. 280 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: You are equipped, empowered, and anointed. Hey, you said joy, 281 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: You're just getting people's hopes up. You're just trying to 282 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: get us to live positive. Yes, And here's why. God 283 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: is a positive god. There is nothing negative about him. 284 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: If your negative sour discourage, you are going against the 285 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: flow of God. When we travel from Houston to Los 286 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: Angeles on a plane, it always takes us thirty minutes 287 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: law longer to get there than it does to come 288 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: back home. 289 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 2: It's because the jet stream flows from west to east. 290 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: When we're traveling there, there's a large, massive air that's 291 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: always blowing against us, slowing us down. The plane has 292 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: to work harder, use more fuel, spend more energy. But 293 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: when we're coming back home, of course, it's just the opposite. 294 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: The jet stream is working in our favor. It's pushing 295 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: us forward, making it easier, saving us time and energy. 296 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: It's the same principle in life. When we're positive, hopeful, 297 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: expecting good things, we're in the jet stream of Almighty God. 298 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: Things will be easier, you'll be more productive, you'll live happier, healthier, 299 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: see more favor. But when we're negative, discouraged, everything's a struggle. 300 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: We're having to work harder, we're not enjoying life. Pay 301 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: attention to what you're thinking. You can't think negative thoughts 302 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: and live a positive life. 303 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 2: You're going against the flow. 304 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: If you go through the day thinking, I'll never pass 305 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: this chemistry test. 306 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 2: I can't stand my job. 307 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: My marriage is never going to last, I'll never meet 308 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 1: the right person. Your life is going to follow your thoughts. 309 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 2: You're drawing in. 310 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,959 Speaker 1: What you're continually thinking about, just like a magnet. I 311 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: can't pass this test. You're drawn in failure. I'll never 312 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,959 Speaker 1: meet the right person, drawing in loneliness. I can't stand 313 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: my job, Drawn in negativity, I'll never accomplish my dreams, 314 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: drawn in mediocrity. 315 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 2: Here's the key. 316 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 1: Just because of thought comes doesn't mean that you have 317 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,239 Speaker 1: to dwell on it. 318 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 2: You control the doorway to your mind. 319 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: If that thought is negative, discouraging, pushing you down. Dismiss it, 320 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: don't give it the time of. 321 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 2: Day, keep the door closed. 322 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: Choose to dwell on thought that empower you, inspire you, 323 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: encourage you, thoughts that give you joy, faith, victory. 324 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 2: If you'll keep your. 325 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: Mind filled with the right thoughts, there won't be any 326 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: room for the wrong thoughts. In other words, all through 327 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: the day, something good is going to happen to me. 328 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: I'm strong, healthy, talented. I will pass this test. I 329 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: will meet the right people. I will overcome this obstacle. 330 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: My best days are still out in front of me. 331 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: When your mind is filled with thoughts of hope, faith, 332 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: in victory, you're going to draw in the good things 333 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: of God. 334 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 2: I read about this lady. 335 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: She had been sick for several years, and she'd tried 336 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: different doctors, but they couldn't really find out what was 337 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: wrong with her. 338 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 2: This lady was extremely negative. 339 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: She's always complaining about how she would never get well, 340 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 1: and just like a magnet, she kept drawing in more sickness. 341 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: The battle is taking place in our minds. What you 342 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: dwelling on all day, that's what you're drawing in. She 343 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: eventually went to another doctor told him how bad she was, 344 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: how she was never going to get well. On and 345 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: on this doctor noticed how negative she was and decided 346 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: to give her an unusual prescription. 347 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 2: He had never done this. 348 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 1: He said, five or six times an hour. I want 349 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: you to say out loud, I'm getting better and better 350 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: every day in every way. She thought that was strange, 351 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: said doctor, I'm not going to do that. I want 352 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: some real medicine. I want a normal prescription. He said, no, 353 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: you follow my orders and we'll talk about what's next. 354 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: She started doing this fifty sixty times a day, and 355 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: before long her attitude began to change. In a few days, 356 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: she noticed she was feeling better. In a couple of weeks, 357 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: she got her joy back, her strength back. A month later, 358 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: she was a different person. 359 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 2: All the symptoms had gone. 360 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: What happened She changed her thinking, and instead of drawing 361 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: in sickness, she started drawing in health. Sometimes your body 362 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: will not get well until your mind tells it to 363 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: get well. You want accomplish your dreams, thinking I don't 364 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: have the talent, the education, the connections. You have to 365 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: give yourself permission to accomplish your dreams, permission to get 366 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: out of debt, permission. 367 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 2: To overcome that obstacle. It starts in our thinking. 368 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: Studies even tell us that when we're negative and we 369 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: think sad, discouraging thoughts, our serotonin level goes down. That 370 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: causes us to feel sad. It's not just in our thinking. 371 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: It starts to affect our moods. But when we're positive, hopeful, 372 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: expecting good things, endorphins are released that causes us to 373 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: feel happy, to have more energy, puts a spring in 374 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: our step. If you go around thinking I'll never get well, 375 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: I'm so overweight, I can't stand my job. As you 376 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 1: think those negative thoughts, your faith, your energy, your enthusiasm 377 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: is being drained out of you, just like a big vacuum. 378 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: It's pulling out the good things God has. 379 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 2: Put in you. 380 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: You'd be amazed at how much more energy you'd have, 381 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: how much more productive you'd be, how much better you'd feel. 382 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: If you just switch over to this positive mindset. You 383 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: have to think thoughts on purpose. This is going to 384 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: be a good day. Twenty fourteen is going to be 385 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: my year. I'm expecting an abundance of favor. Ef Esians 386 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: four puts it like this, put on a fresh new attitude. 387 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: I found yesterday's attitude is not good enough for today. 388 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: Every morning you have to put on a fresh attitude. 389 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: I'm gonna choose to be happy today. I'm going to 390 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: be good to other people today. I'm going to go 391 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: with the flow today, not get upset. Put on that 392 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: fresh new attitude. It's putting you in the jet stream 393 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: of God. That's when you'll accomplish things that you could 394 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: not accomplish on your own. You will overcome obstacles that 395 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: look bigger, stronger, more powerful. 396 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 2: That's what Daniel did. 397 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: The scripture says that he was a person of excellence. 398 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: He stood out in the crowd. He was a cut above. 399 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: How did he do it? Every morning he got up early, 400 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: opened his window and thanked God for the day, thanked 401 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: him for his goodness, thanked him that he was well able. 402 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: He was putting on a fresh new attitude. 403 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 2: He was setting his mind for victory. 404 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: Now. As a young man, Daniel was serving a king 405 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: of a foreign nation. 406 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 2: At one point, this king put. 407 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: Out a decree that for thirty days, no one could 408 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: pray to any. 409 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 2: God except the king's god. 410 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: If they did, they would be thrown into a lion's 411 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: den and killed. 412 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 2: Well, stop Daniel. 413 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: He kept on praying to the God of Abraham, the 414 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: God of Isaac, the God of Jacob. Some of his 415 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: enemies told the king. The king was heartbroken. He loved Daniel, 416 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: but he had already put out this decree. He couldn't 417 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: go back on his word. Daniel said, King, don't worry. 418 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 1: I'll be fine. The God I. 419 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 2: Serve is well able to deliver me. 420 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: That's what happens when you start the day off in faith, 421 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: thinking thoughts on purpose. When you face difficulties, you don't 422 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: fall apart, you don't get better. 423 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 2: Why is this happening to me? 424 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: You rise up in faith and say, my God is 425 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: well able. I'm armed with strength for this battle. No 426 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 1: weapon formed against me will ever prosper. The authorities had 427 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: Daniel thrown into a den of over one hundred hungry lions. 428 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: They were expecting him to be eaten immediately. 429 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 2: But when you live with. 430 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: An attitude of faith, God will fight your battles. God 431 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: send an angel closed the mouths of those lions. The 432 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: next morning, early the King came to check on Daniel, 433 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: saw him lying there asleep, unharmed. 434 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 2: Refreshed. 435 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 1: The King got him out and said, hey, from now on, 436 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: We're all gonna worship the God of Daniel. 437 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 2: That's the true and the living God. Here's an interesting thought. 438 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 2: In the scripture. 439 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: Nothing negative is written about Daniel or about Joseph. I'm 440 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: sure they made mistakes, but you can't find a record 441 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: of anything they did wrong. Other heroes of faith, like Abraham, Moses, David, 442 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: the Apostle Paul, there are accounts of times where they fell, 443 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: where they blew it. This is making the point that 444 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: Daniel and Joseph were good people, but they faced bad circumstances. 445 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,479 Speaker 1: Unfair things happened to them, they were mistreated, they faced 446 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: incredible odds. But if you studied their lives, one common 447 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: denominator is they lived with this positive mindset. 448 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 2: They had an attitude of faith. 449 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: They didn't get bitter, they didn't make excuses every morning. 450 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: They got their mind going in the right direction, knowing 451 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: that our God is well able. They both saw God's goodness, 452 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: his favor in amazing ways. Well in the same way, 453 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: you can be a good person and have bad circumstances. 454 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 1: It's easy to get negative and think, I don't understand 455 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: why my child got sicker, why I came down with 456 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: this problem, or why these. 457 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 2: People did me wrong. 458 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: No, dig your heels in and do like Daniel, get 459 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: up every morning in the midst of that battle, look 460 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: up and say, Lord, thank you for another great day. 461 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 2: Lord. 462 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: I know you're bigger than this problem, greater than this sickness, 463 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: more powerful than my enemies. Father, thank you that today 464 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: things are changing in my favor in difficult times more 465 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: than ever. 466 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 2: Make sure you put. 467 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: On that fresh new attitude. Make sure you set your 468 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: mind for victory. 469 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 2: And here's the key, keep it set. 470 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: When those thoughts come telling you it's never going to 471 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: work out, it's been too long, the report is too bad. Now, 472 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: dismiss them and say, like he did. My God is 473 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: well able. He's done it for me in the past, 474 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: and I know he'll do it for me again in 475 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: the future. Here's my challenge to you. Keep your mind 476 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: going in the right direction. Learn to think thoughts on purpose. 477 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: Something good is going to happen to me. Twenty fourteen 478 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: is my year. Start the day off in faith. If 479 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: you'll develop this habit of having a positive mindset, you 480 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: cannot be defeated. 481 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 2: You'll not only live healthier, happier, have more energy. 482 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: But I believe and declare you will accomplish more than 483 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: you ever imagined. You will overcome obstacles that looked impossible, 484 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: and you will become everything God's created you to be. 485 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, if you receive it, can you say 486 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: him in today? We never like to close our broadcast 487 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: without giving you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord 488 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say Lord, Jesus, 489 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I 490 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: make you my Lord and savior. Friends, if you prayed 491 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: that simple prayer, we believe you got born again.
