Speaker 6: is all powerful. Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks

Speaker 6: Thanks for letting us come into your homes. We are
Speaker 6: praying for you and your family for God's protection, his favor,
Speaker 6: and his blessings on your life. Now usually start with
Speaker 6: something funny, but since no one is here, I quit
Speaker 6: telling my jokes. So many people have emailed and asked
Speaker 6: what happened, So here I go. One Sunday morning, the
Speaker 6: pastor was in the pulpit preaching away when he noticed
Speaker 6: a man sound asleep on the front row. That made
Speaker 6: him so aggravated he started preaching louder and harder. But
Speaker 6: the louder he got, the more the man slept. He
Speaker 6: finally stopped and said that the man sitting next to him,
Speaker 6: would you please wake that man up? The man said,
Speaker 6: wake him up yourself.
Speaker 4: You put him to sleep.
Speaker 6: Well, I'm going to do my best to not put
Speaker 6: you to sleep today.
Speaker 4: Come on, say it like you mean it.
Speaker 6: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.
Speaker 6: I have what it says I have. I can do
Speaker 6: what it says I can do. Today I will be
Speaker 6: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind
Speaker 6: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be
Speaker 6: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want
Speaker 6: to talk to you today about power thinking.
Speaker 4: It's easy to.
Speaker 6: Go around thinking that the obstacle is too big, will
Speaker 6: never get well. This virus is going to get the
Speaker 6: best of us. We wonder why we don't have any strength,
Speaker 6: why we can't get ahead. It's because our thoughts are
Speaker 6: limiting us. We draw in what we constantly think about.
Speaker 6: You can't think defeat and have victory. You can't think
Speaker 6: weakness and have strength. Your life is going to fall
Speaker 6: at your thoughts. And instead of thinking these weak, defeated,
Speaker 6: not able two thoughts, you need to.
Speaker 4: Think our thoughts.
Speaker 6: This sickness is no match for me. This virus can't
Speaker 6: stop my destiny. This trouble at work is not how
Speaker 6: my story ends. The forces that are for me are
Speaker 6: greater than the forces that are against me. Victory starts
Speaker 6: in our mind. Success breakthroughs new levels depends on our thinking.
Speaker 4: When Joel, this virus has me afraid.
Speaker 6: I'm worried about my finances, I'm stressed over my children.
Speaker 6: That's drawing in more negativity. That's making you weaker, draining
Speaker 6: your strength, your energy, your passion. You'll be amazed at
Speaker 6: what will happen if you'll start thinking power thoughts.
Speaker 4: No weapon formed against me will prosper.
Speaker 6: God has me in the palm of his hand. He's
Speaker 6: made me untouchable to the enemy. When you dwell on that,
Speaker 6: you'll feel strength rising up, courage, determination.
Speaker 4: And this is not just being positive, this is your
Speaker 4: faith being released.
Speaker 6: Proverbs Force says, be careful what you think, because your
Speaker 6: thoughts run your life.
Speaker 4: Are your thoughts helping you are hurting you.
Speaker 6: Are you thinking power thoughts, victory thoughts, well able thoughts,
Speaker 6: or you thinking defeated thoughts? I'll never get well, never
Speaker 6: accomplish my dreams. Never break this addiction. You're choosing which
Speaker 6: direction your life is going to go. Pay attention to
Speaker 6: what you're dwelling on. Don't just think any thought that
Speaker 6: comes to mind. If it's negative, discouraging, fearful, don't give
Speaker 6: it the time of day. Turn it around and dwell
Speaker 6: on what God says about you. Thoughts, whisper. Nothing good
Speaker 6: is in your future. You've seen your best days. If
Speaker 6: you dwell on that, you'll miss your destiny. Tune out
Speaker 6: that defeated thought and start thinking power thoughts. Something good
Speaker 6: is going to happen to me. Favor is surrounding me
Speaker 6: like a shield. Goodness and mercy are following me. When
Speaker 6: you're in tough times, the enemy will work over time
Speaker 6: trying to convince you that the problem is too big.
Speaker 6: You'll never get out of death. That child will never
Speaker 6: turn around. He knows if he can keep you defeated
Speaker 6: in your thoughts, then he can keep you defeated in
Speaker 6: your life. The battle is taking place in your mind
Speaker 6: when thoughts tell you it's never going to change, you
Speaker 6: can't take it anymore. Instead of thinking those weak thoughts,
Speaker 6: drawing in more weakness, turn it around. Yes, this problem
Speaker 6: is big, but I've been armed with strength for every battle.
Speaker 6: I am full of can do power. What God started
Speaker 6: in my life, he's going to finish. God said he
Speaker 6: would never let you face anything that you can't handle.
Speaker 6: He will always give you the strength, the grace, the
Speaker 6: faith for what comes your way. But if you're believing
Speaker 6: these lies that it's too much, you're dwelling on the weak,
Speaker 6: limiting can't do it thoughts, then you're going to feel overwhelmed,
Speaker 6: and you'll get stuck where you are. Pay attention to
Speaker 6: what's going on in your mind. This is what happened
Speaker 6: to the Israelites. Moses sent twelve.
Speaker 4: Men to spy out the promised land.
Speaker 6: After forty days, ten came back and said, Moses will
Speaker 6: never defeat them.
Speaker 4: The people are huge. They look like giants. We don't
Speaker 4: have a chance.
Speaker 6: God had already promised them the victory. He had already
Speaker 6: said that was their land. But notice what.
Speaker 4: They were thinking, weak, defeated, limiting fearful thoughts.
Speaker 6: The other two spies, Joshua and Caleb, came back with
Speaker 6: a different report.
Speaker 4: They said, Moses, we are well able.
Speaker 6: Yes, the people are big, but we know our God
Speaker 6: is bigger.
Speaker 4: Let us go in at once and take that land.
Speaker 6: What's interesting is Joshua and Caleb saw the same giants
Speaker 6: as the other ten spies. They saw the same problem,
Speaker 6: the same opposition, but instead of thinking defeated thoughts, they
Speaker 6: chose to think our thoughts. Josha Went and Caleb weren't
Speaker 6: any bigger than the other spies.
Speaker 4: They didn't have.
Speaker 6: More training, more experience, more weapons. The only difference was
Speaker 6: their thinking. The negative report from the ten spies began
Speaker 6: to spread throughout the Israelites camp. Before long, all two
Speaker 6: million people were afraid and worried. They said, Moses, let's
Speaker 6: go back to Egypt. Let's go back to being slaves.
Speaker 6: That's how powerful our thoughts are. Ten men infected the
Speaker 6: rest of the people. They ended up wandering in the
Speaker 6: desert for forty years. Be careful how you think. Don't
Speaker 6: get infected and miss your destiny. Are you one of
Speaker 6: the ten spies. I can't beat this illness, I can't
Speaker 6: accomplish my dream. This being isolated not going to work.
Speaker 6: It's going to ruin my business. None of this is
Speaker 6: a surprise to God. You wouldn't be facing it if
Speaker 6: you couldn't handle it. Like the Israelites, God is already
Speaker 6: promised you the victory. The scripture says, Thanks be to God,
Speaker 6: who always causes us to triumph.
Speaker 4: Not some of the times, not most of the time,
Speaker 4: but all of the time. It may be.
Speaker 6: Tough now, but keep the right perspective. Victory is in
Speaker 6: your future, Healing is in your future, Abundance, breakthroughs, freedom
Speaker 6: is come in your way. And yes, the giants may
Speaker 6: be big, but our God is bigger. The virus may
Speaker 6: be powerful, but our God is all powerful. I'm asking
Speaker 6: you to be a Joshua, be a Caleb. Think power thoughts,
Speaker 6: think can do thoughts, Think victory thoughts.
Speaker 4: Don't look at how big the problem is. Look at
Speaker 4: how big your God is.
Speaker 6: He parted red seas, he closed the mouths of lions.
Speaker 6: He brought the dead back to life. That obstacle is
Speaker 6: no match for him. He didn't bring you this.
Speaker 4: Far to leave you. When you believe all all things.
Speaker 6: Are possible, get your thoughts going in the right direction.
Speaker 6: The scripture says, when the enemy comes in like a flood,
Speaker 6: the spirit of God will raise up a barrier.
Speaker 4: You're not fighting this battle on your own. You have the.
Speaker 6: Most powerful force in the universe fighting for you. He's
Speaker 6: pushing back forces of darkness, keeping that sickness from taking
Speaker 6: you out, moving the wrong people out of the way.
Speaker 6: All through the day. I am well able. I will
Speaker 6: overcome this obstacle. I will defeat this sickness. I will
Speaker 6: rise out of lack and struggle. When you think like that,
Speaker 6: the creator of the universe goes to work. Miracles are
Speaker 6: set into motion. It's significant that the ten spis were
Speaker 6: negative and two were positive.
Speaker 4: It's about the same today.
Speaker 6: Eighty percent of people will be negative, twenty percent will
Speaker 6: be positive, eighty percent will focus on how big the
Speaker 6: problem is. Live afraid, tell you how you won't get well.
Speaker 6: If you're going to fulfill your destiny, you have to
Speaker 6: go against the grain. You can't just fit in and
Speaker 6: be afraid like everyone else, complain like the other coworkers,
Speaker 6: be negative like that neighbor. God is looking for some
Speaker 6: joshuas he's looking for calebs, people that stand out, people
Speaker 6: that believe when it seems impossible, people that aren't discouraged
Speaker 6: by how big the opposition is. If this is going
Speaker 6: to happen, you have to guard your mind because negative
Speaker 6: news spreads faster than good news. Joshua and Caleb said,
Speaker 6: we are well able that news didn't go anywhere. When
Speaker 6: people heard the giants were too big, that they didn't
Speaker 6: have a chance, that spread like wildfire throughout the camp.
Speaker 6: Negative thinking is contagious all around us. There's negative news,
Speaker 6: how bad the sickness is, how bad the economy is,
Speaker 6: Analysts telling us what could happen, how it may get
Speaker 6: much worse. I'm not faulting them. They're doing their job.
Speaker 6: It's good to be informed, but you can't let that
Speaker 6: poison stay in your spirit. If you keep dwelling on that,
Speaker 6: then you're going to end up afraid, worried, panicked, thinking
Speaker 6: you're not going to make it. When you think like that,
Speaker 6: it's a negative cycle that keeps drawing in more fear, more, worried.
Speaker 4: More defeat. Isaiah H.
Speaker 6: Says, do not think like everyone else. Don't be afraid
Speaker 6: that some plan conceived behind closed doors will be the
Speaker 6: end of you. Do not fear anything except the Lord
Speaker 6: God Almighty. If you fear him, you need fear nothing else.
Speaker 6: He will keep you safe. You don't have to fear
Speaker 6: the virus, fear what the economy is going to do,
Speaker 6: fear the future. Just keep honoring God and he will
Speaker 6: keep you safe. He'll defeat your enemies. He'll do what
Speaker 6: medicine can't do. He'll turn that child around. This says,
Speaker 6: don't think like everyone else. Don't think like the ten spies.
Speaker 6: When the majority is afraid, worried, negative, you have to
Speaker 6: be on the offensive and say no, I'm not falling
Speaker 6: into that trap. I'm not going to think weak, defeated thoughts.
Speaker 6: I'm going to think power thoughts. I know my God
Speaker 6: is still on the throne. I know him being for
Speaker 6: me is more.
Speaker 4: Than the world being against me.
Speaker 6: Out of these two million people, the only ones that
Speaker 6: ever made it into the Promised Land were Joshua and Caleb.
Speaker 6: It's not a coincidence that they were the only ones
Speaker 6: that thought power thoughts. You can't reach your destiny thinking negative,
Speaker 6: limiting thoughts. I was out riding my bike the other
Speaker 6: day and I have the same path that I traveled down.
Speaker 6: It takes about an hour. Most of the route is flat, but.
Speaker 4: There's this one very big hill.
Speaker 6: Have to dig down deep and really push to make
Speaker 6: it up that hill. I like to exercise, and I
Speaker 6: always get prepared for this hill and enjoy the challenge.
Speaker 4: But this particular day, I was tired. I'd worked out.
Speaker 6: Hard earlier, and I had been traveling a lot, not
Speaker 6: had much sleep. Now, about ten minutes into my ride,
Speaker 6: I started thinking, I don't want to go up that hill.
Speaker 4: I don't feel like it. I don't have the strength.
Speaker 4: I don't want to have to push on and on.
Speaker 6: I kept dreading it, telling myself how hard it was
Speaker 6: going to be, wondering if I could make it up it.
Speaker 4: At one point I received a phone calling.
Speaker 6: I put it on speaker and I started talking as
Speaker 6: I was riding. We talked and talked about twenty minutes later.
Speaker 4: I hung up.
Speaker 6: I got my mind back on my bike riding. I thought, okay,
Speaker 6: I don't want to go up that hill. When I
Speaker 6: looked around, I realized I had already gone up the hill.
Speaker 6: I rode up it while I was talking. But because
Speaker 6: I was distracted, not thinking about how hard it was
Speaker 6: going to be, not convincing myself that I couldn't do it,
Speaker 6: I made it up the hill with no problem. My
Speaker 6: legs weren't burning, I wasn't winded, I didn't feel any
Speaker 6: more tired. I don't even remember going up it. I
Speaker 6: wonder how many times we're telling ourselves what we can't do.
Speaker 6: I can't stay at home for a month and teach
Speaker 6: these children. I can't deal with these unfair people at work.
Speaker 6: I can't handle this challenge in my health. It's going
Speaker 6: to be too hard. We're dreading things, thinking these weak,
Speaker 6: defeating thoughts, when the truth is you have already been equipped.
Speaker 4: To handle it. You have strength for all things.
Speaker 6: When God created you, he put in you everything you
Speaker 6: need to fulfill your destiny Now quit telling yourself what
Speaker 6: you can't do and how it's not going to work out.
Speaker 6: All that's doing is draining your strength. When you get
Speaker 6: to that hill, you're going to discover, like I did,
Speaker 6: it's going to be easier than you thought to have
Speaker 6: strength that you didn't know you had. Just like when
Speaker 6: your car is going up a hill and the extra
Speaker 6: cylinders kick in to give you more power when you
Speaker 6: need it, God's grace is going to kick in and
Speaker 6: help you do what you didn't think you could do. Now,
Speaker 6: the key is don't cancel it out with weak thinking.
Speaker 6: Every morning when you wake up, you need to power up,
Speaker 6: get your mind going in the right direction. This is
Speaker 6: going to be a good day. I can handle anything
Speaker 6: that comes my way. I am strong, I am confident.
Speaker 6: I have the favor of God. Angels will watch it
Speaker 6: after me. I'm excited about my future. At the start
Speaker 6: of the day, you need to set your mind for victory.
Speaker 6: Don't let just any thoughts play. You have to think
Speaker 6: thoughts on purpose. If you wake up and just think
Speaker 6: whatever comes to mind, thoughts, what's hey, you you have
Speaker 6: too many problems, You're too tired. You'll never overcome this obstacle.
Speaker 6: Good is going to happen today. If you don't set
Speaker 6: the tone for the day, negative thoughts will set them
Speaker 6: for you, before you check the phone, before you read
Speaker 6: your email, before you see what the weather is like.
Speaker 4: You need to think on purpose.
Speaker 6: Power thoughts, victory thoughts, abundance thoughts can do thoughts. Psalm
Speaker 6: one twenty five says God will be good to those
Speaker 6: who are in tune with him. Notice, you can be
Speaker 6: in tune with God or you can be out of tunes.
Speaker 4: The way you get in tune is.
Speaker 6: By thinking victorious, overcoming faith filled thoughts. If you go
Speaker 6: around thinking I'll never get well. This depression, this anxiety,
Speaker 6: this addiction is going to hinder me all of my life. Unfortunately,
Speaker 6: you're not in tune with God. You can't find anywhere
Speaker 6: in the scripture where God says I'm weak, I'm discouraged.
Speaker 6: I'm afraid the enemy's getting the best of me. God says,
Speaker 6: I am all powerful. I spoke worlds into existence, I
Speaker 6: flung stars into space. Moses asked God what his name was.
Speaker 6: God said, my name is I am. He was saying,
Speaker 6: I am everything. I am strength, I am healing, I
Speaker 6: am provision, I am protection.
Speaker 4: I am abundance. I am favor.
Speaker 6: When God said let there be light, it came at
Speaker 6: one hundred and eighty.
Speaker 4: Six thousand miles per second.
Speaker 6: One angel in the Old Testament destroyed one hundred and
Speaker 6: eighty five thousand of the enemies of Israel. If you're
Speaker 6: going to get in tune with God, you can't think little, weak, defeated,
Speaker 6: get by hope this works out thoughts.
Speaker 4: You have to think bold thoughts, fever.
Speaker 6: Thoughts, abundance thoughts, healing thoughts, victory thoughts. Yes, the opposition
Speaker 6: may be much bigger, much stronger.
Speaker 4: Just to agree with what God says.
Speaker 6: Lord, you said, when the enemy comes against me one way,
Speaker 6: you will defeat them and cause them to flee.
Speaker 4: Seven different ways.
Speaker 6: When thoughts tell you you'll never get well, get in
Speaker 6: tune with God. Lord, Thank you that you're restoring health
Speaker 6: back into me. Thank you that the number of my
Speaker 6: days you will fulfill. The thought comes. This shut down
Speaker 6: over the virus has ruined your year financially.
Speaker 4: Just accept it and wait for next year.
Speaker 6: Lord, thank you that the economy is not my source,
Speaker 6: that you are my source. You said you would make
Speaker 6: rivers in the desert, that you would supply all of
Speaker 6: my needs. According to your riches, you have that thought
Speaker 6: you'll never have a baby.
Speaker 4: You heard the experts. It's not possible. Father.
Speaker 6: You said what's impossible with people is possible with you.
Speaker 4: You said you'd make.
Speaker 6: The baron woman a happy mother of children. So, Father,
Speaker 6: thank you that my baby is on the way. The
Speaker 6: way to get in tune with God is to think
Speaker 6: what he says about you, not what you feel, not
Speaker 6: what the experts say, not what the economy says, but
Speaker 6: what the Most High God has spoken over you.
Speaker 4: The scripture says, whose report? Will you believe?
Speaker 6: What the ten spies are saying? The negative report telling
Speaker 6: you what you can't do, how it's too tough, or
Speaker 6: what Joshua and Caliber are saying, how you are well able.
Speaker 6: When my father went to be with the Lord and
Speaker 6: I stepped up to pastor the church, every thought told
Speaker 6: me that I couldn't do it, that I wasn't qualified,
Speaker 6: didn't have the training, I was too quiet. If I
Speaker 6: would have believed that report, I would have missed my destiny.
Speaker 6: That's why the scripture says, be careful what you think.
Speaker 4: It gives us a warning.
Speaker 6: Your thoughts are setting the limits for your life. All
Speaker 6: that came to my mind were fearful, intimidating, negative thoughts.
Speaker 6: I did what I'm asking you to do. I didn't
Speaker 6: just think those thoughts because they showed up. I didn't
Speaker 6: dwell on them and think they were the truth. I
Speaker 6: tuned them out and got in tune with God on purpose.
Speaker 4: I thought, I can do all things through Christ. I
Speaker 4: am strong in the Lord.
Speaker 6: I've been raised up for such a time as this. Father,
Speaker 6: Thank you that I'm equipped, empowered, and annointed. Thoughts told
Speaker 6: me nobody's going to listen to you, Joel, you don't
Speaker 6: have anything to say. Instead of believing those lies, I said, Father,
Speaker 6: thank you that your favor is causing me to stand out.
Speaker 6: That people are going to like me. They're going to
Speaker 6: be drawn to me. When they turned me on, they
Speaker 6: can't turn me off. If I had not got in
Speaker 6: tune with God and thought these power thoughts, I wouldn't
Speaker 6: be here. When Adam and Eve were in the garden
Speaker 6: of Eden, they ate the forbidden fruit that God told
Speaker 6: them not to eat. Then they ran in hid. God
Speaker 6: came looking for them, said Adam, where are you? Adam said,
Speaker 6: we're hiding because we're naked. God said Adam, who told
Speaker 6: you you were naked. God knew the enemy had been
Speaker 6: talking to them. God is saying to you, who told
Speaker 6: you you're not qualified, Who told you you've made too
Speaker 6: many mistakes, Who told you that you come from the
Speaker 6: wrong family, that you'll never be successful.
Speaker 4: Those are the wrong voices. You need to tune that
Speaker 4: out and get in tune with God.
Speaker 6: When thoughts tell you you're just average, there's nothing special
Speaker 6: about you, get rid of that defeated thought and think
Speaker 6: power thoughts. I am fearfully and wonderfully made, I am
Speaker 6: a masterpiece. I have royal blood flowing through my veins.
Speaker 6: I am crowned with favor. I will leave my mark.
Speaker 6: If you'll get in tune with God, he'll open doors
Speaker 6: that no person can shut. He'll take you where you
Speaker 6: can't go on your own. When thoughts tell you you've
Speaker 6: been through too much. You lost that loved one, the
Speaker 6: business didn't make it, that friend walked out on you.
Speaker 6: Nothing good is in your future. Don't believe those lies. Father,
Speaker 6: Thank you that you have beauty for these ashes. Thank
Speaker 6: you that what was meant for my harm you are turning.
Speaker 4: To my advantage.
Speaker 6: When you're in tune with God, he'll pay you back
Speaker 6: for the wrongs, Isaiah said, God will give you double
Speaker 6: for the unfair things that have happened. Instead of thinking
Speaker 6: you've seen your best days, Lord, thank you that double
Speaker 6: is coming.
Speaker 4: Think you that my.
Speaker 6: Latter days will be better than my former days. In
Speaker 6: the scripture, there was a young man named maphibis Chef.
Speaker 6: He was the grandson of King Saul and the son
Speaker 6: of Jonathan David's best friend. Maphibis Chef was born into royalty,
Speaker 6: destined to one day take the throne, but at five
Speaker 6: years old, his grandfather and father were killed in a battle.
Speaker 6: When word reached his house, the maid that took care
Speaker 6: of him picked him up and took off running, afraid
Speaker 6: that the enemy army was going to come after them.
Speaker 6: In her haste, she accidentally tripped and dropped Maphibischef. Both
Speaker 6: of his legs were broken. He became crippled for life.
Speaker 6: Sometimes well meaning people can drop you. This nurse had
Speaker 6: good intentions. She was trying to help him, but she
Speaker 6: dropped him. Years passed, Maphibaschef ended up living in exile
Speaker 6: in a city called Lodobar. It was one of the poorest,
Speaker 6: most run down cities of that day. The name Lodobar
Speaker 6: means without pasture. It had no greenery, no place to
Speaker 6: grow crops. It was like a wasteland here. Maphibischef was
Speaker 6: the grandson of the king. He had royalty in his blood,
Speaker 6: but he was living in the slums, barely surviving. One day,
Speaker 6: King David was thinking about his friend Jonathan. He asked
Speaker 6: his men if there were any of his his relatives
Speaker 6: still alive, so he could be good to them. David's
Speaker 6: men went out and searched through the slums of Lodibar
Speaker 6: and finally found Mafibi Chef. Now he was a grown man.
Speaker 6: They had to carry him back to the palace. I'm
Speaker 6: sure Mafibis Chef was afraid, thinking David was going to
Speaker 6: pay him back for his grandfather King Saul trying to
Speaker 6: kill him, but it was just the opposite. David was
Speaker 6: incredibly kind to him. He said, from now on, you're
Speaker 6: going to live in the palace with me. Every night,
Speaker 6: you're going to have dinner at my table. I'm going
Speaker 6: to give you all the land that belonged to your
Speaker 6: grandfather King Saul. Maphibaschef was overwhelmed. He couldn't believe what
Speaker 6: was happening, but The way he answered shows us why
Speaker 6: he was living in Lodibar all those years. He said
Speaker 6: to David, why would you be so kind to a
Speaker 6: dead dog like me? Notice his thoughts weak, defeated. I
Speaker 6: don't deserve to be blessed. I've had too many bad breaks.
Speaker 6: People dropped me. I wonder how many of us are
Speaker 6: doing like Maphibicus chef. We are sons and daughters of
Speaker 6: the Most High God. We have royalty in our blood.
Speaker 6: We're destined to reign in life. But because somebody dropped us,
Speaker 6: we went through wrongs, disappointments, things that weren't fair, or
Speaker 6: we made mistakes. We got off course, brought the trouble
Speaker 6: on ourselves, and now we're living in Lodobar thinking we
Speaker 6: don't deserve to be blessed. We just have to sit
Speaker 6: on the sidelines, except that our dreams will never come
Speaker 6: to pass. Can I encourage you get rid of that
Speaker 6: dead dog? Thinking nothing that's happened to you has to
Speaker 6: keep you from your destiny. No mistake you've made is
Speaker 6: too much for the mercy of God. You may have
Speaker 6: had some bad breaks, gone through some failures, but that
Speaker 6: didn't stop God's plan for your life. Now you have
Speaker 6: to do your part and quit thinking limited, defeated, unworthy
Speaker 6: thoughts and start thinking victory thoughts, abundance thoughts, fever thoughts.
Speaker 6: Put your shoulders back, hold your head up high, and remember.
Speaker 4: Who you are and who you are a child of
Speaker 4: the Most High. Get in tune with him.
Speaker 6: Like David's men went searching through Lodobar, God is looking
Speaker 6: for you today. He's saying, I'm about to do a
Speaker 6: new thing. I'm about to pay you back for the wrongs.
Speaker 6: I'm about to open new doors, turn negative situations around.
Speaker 4: You're going to be.
Speaker 6: Amazed at the goodness of God. I'm asking you to
Speaker 6: pay attention to what you're thinking. You are drawing in
Speaker 6: what you're constantly dwelling on. Your thoughts are running your life.
Speaker 6: Is what you're thinking about what you want? Are you
Speaker 6: thinking weak, defeated, I can't do it thoughts? Or you
Speaker 6: you thinking power thoughts. I am well able. God is
Speaker 6: fighting my battles. Something good is in my future. Don't
Speaker 6: be like the ten spies, the eighty percent that are negative.
Speaker 6: Stand out in the crowd. Be a Joshua, be a Caleb,
Speaker 6: and think victory thoughts.
Speaker 4: If you'll do.
Speaker 6: This, I believe and declare, like God didn't for them,
Speaker 6: You're going to make it into your promised land. You're
Speaker 6: going to see God show out in your life like
Speaker 6: the phiblous chef. Everything you've lost, God is about to
Speaker 6: restore the health, the finances, the dreams. They're going to
Speaker 6: come looking for you in Jesus' name, And if you
Speaker 6: receive it, can you say amen? Well, I'd like to
Speaker 6: give you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of
Speaker 6: your life.
Speaker 4: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I
Speaker 4: repent of my sins.
Speaker 6: Come into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior.
Speaker 6: If you pray that simple prayer, we believe you got
Speaker 6: born again. We'd love to give you some information on
Speaker 6: your new journey of faith. Just text the number on
