That's you, or 12 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 2: you wouldn't have tuned in, or you wouldn't have come 13 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 2: out today. 14 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: So thank you so much. 15 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 2: If you're ever in our area, stop by and be 16 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: a part of one of our services. I promise you 17 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 2: we'll make you feel right at home. But again, thank 18 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 2: you all for coming out today. And I like to 19 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 2: start with something funny each week. And I heard about 20 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 2: this cat and mouse that died on the same day 21 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 2: and went to heaven after a couple of weeks. Saint 22 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: Peter saw the mouse and said, hey, how do you 23 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: like it so far? The mouse said, it's great, but 24 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 2: it's so big. I'd love to have a pair of 25 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: roller skates. Peter said, no problem them gates. A few 26 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,959 Speaker 2: weeks later, Peter saw the cat and ask him how 27 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 2: he liked it, and the cat said, Peter, it's fantastic. 28 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 2: And just when I thought it couldn't get any better, 29 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 2: I discovered the meals on wheels. All right, hold up 30 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 2: your Bible. Say it like you mean it. This is 31 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 2: my Bible. I am what it says I am. I 32 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 2: have what it says I have. I can do what 33 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 2: it says I can do. Today I will be taught 34 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 2: the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, 35 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. 36 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk 37 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: to you today about being glad. Continually, we all have 38 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: opportunities to lose our joy, go around discouraged. But God 39 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 2: never intended for us to endure life. He created us 40 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: to enjoy life, and we prepare for victory or defeat 41 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 2: at the very start of the day. When you get 42 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,639 Speaker 2: up in the morning, you have to set your mind 43 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 2: in the right direction. You may feel discouraged. You may 44 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 2: feel the blaws, thinking I don't want to go to 45 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 2: work today, I don't want to deal with these children. 46 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 2: I've got so many problems. If you make the mistake 47 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: of dwelling on those thoughts, then you are preparing for 48 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: a lousy day. You're using your faith in the wrong direction. 49 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: You need to turn it around and say, this is 50 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 2: going to be a great day. 51 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: Something good is going to happen to me. 52 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 2: God has favor in my future, and I'm expecting new opportunities, 53 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: divine connections, supernatural breakthroughs. 54 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: You know what you just did. 55 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 2: You prepared for victory, prepared for increase, prepared for restoration. 56 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: God says to the angels, did you hear that? They're 57 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 2: expecting my goodness. They're expecting to prosper in spite of 58 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: the economy. They're expecting to get well, in spite of 59 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: the medical report. They're expecting to accomplish their dreams even 60 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 2: though they don't have the resources right now. When you 61 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 2: start the day off like that in faith, God tells 62 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 2: the angels go to work, arrange things in their favor, 63 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: give them breaks, line up the right people, open up 64 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 2: the right doors. That's what allows God to show up 65 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 2: and show out in unusual ways. Some of you today 66 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 2: would see a major improvement in your life if you'd 67 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 2: make this minor adjustment. You not only have more energy, 68 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: a better attitude, be more productive, but you would see 69 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: new doors open, you'd meet new friends, you'd get some 70 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: of those breakthroughs you've been praying for. If you just 71 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: get up in the morning and instead of preparing for defeat, 72 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 2: prepare for victory, Prepare for increase, prepare for God's favor. 73 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: You have to set the tone at the very start 74 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: of the day. 75 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 2: If you leave your mind in neutral, then just by default, 76 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: the negative thoughts will start to come. Have you ever 77 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 2: been laying in bed in the morning and out of nowhere, 78 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 2: you're reminded of all the mistakes you made yesterday and 79 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 2: all the problems you have in your future. That's the 80 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 2: enemy trying to set your mind for a negative, defeated, 81 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: lousy day. Don't fall into that trap. The scripture says, 82 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 2: set your mind and keep it set on the higher things. 83 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: You've got to be proactive, be on the offensive. When 84 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: you get up in the morning, say it with David, 85 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 2: this is another day the Lord has made. No matter 86 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 2: how I feel, no matter what the economy looks like, 87 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 2: no matter what the medical report says, I am choosing 88 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: to rejoice. I'm gonna choose to live this day happy. 89 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 2: You know what you're really saying. I'm not gonna let 90 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: other people still my joy today. I'm not gonna let 91 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 2: disappointments and setbacks discourage me. I'm not gonna focus on 92 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 2: my problems and my mistakes. I make it up my 93 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: mind to enjoy this day, something I've learned to do 94 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 2: every morning, as I say Father, thank you, that today 95 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: is going to be a blessing day and a receiving day, 96 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 2: a day where I'll be a blessing to someone and 97 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 2: a day where I'll receive your goodness in a greater way. 98 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: What am I doing. I'm setting the tone for the 99 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 2: new day. I go out each morning looking for somebody 100 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 2: I can bless. I'm on the lookout for somebody I 101 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 2: can be good to, somebody I can encourage, somebody I 102 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 2: can uplift. I'm expecting it number one to be a 103 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: blessing day, and number two, I'm expecting it to be 104 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: a receiving day. That means a day where I'm going 105 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 2: to receive God's goodness in a greater way. I'm expecting 106 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 2: God to show up and show out in my life today. 107 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 2: I'm expecting to get supernatural breakthroughs. It's not going to 108 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 2: just be a blessing day where I reach out to others. 109 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 2: But I know when I help somebody else, God will 110 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: always help me. When i'm someone else's day, God will 111 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 2: make my own day. 112 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: So I'm getting in position. 113 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 2: I'm getting my mind prepared to receive God's goodness in 114 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 2: a greater way. I heard a story about this ninety 115 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 2: two year old man. He was just as sharp as 116 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 2: could be. Every morning, by eight o'clock he was up 117 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 2: and fully dressed. He always looked impeccables, hair perfectly combed, 118 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 2: his face neatly shaven, and although he could see images somewhat, 119 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 2: he was legally blind. His wife of nearly seventy years 120 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 2: had just gone to be with the Lord. Now he 121 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 2: was moving into a senior's home, and after waiting in 122 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 2: the lobby patiently for several hours, a young lady came 123 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 2: to show him to his new room, and as he 124 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 2: maneuvered his walker through the hallways, she began to describe 125 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 2: this new room in great detail. She told how it 126 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: had a beautiful window and a nice couch and a 127 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: desk area right in the middle. He interrupted her and said, 128 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 2: I love it. I love it. 129 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: I love it. She kind of laughed and. 130 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 2: Said, sir, we're not there yet. You haven't seen it. 131 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 2: Hold on just a minute and I'll show it to you. 132 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 2: He said, No, that doesn't have anything to do with it. 133 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 2: Happiness is something you decide ahead of time. Whether I 134 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 2: like my room or not doesn't depend on how the 135 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 2: furniture is arranged. It depends on how my mind is arranged. 136 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 2: I like that attitude. That's the way we need to be. 137 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: We've already made up our mind to enjoy this day. 138 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 2: We've already made up our mind to have a blessed, prosperous, 139 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: supernatural year. We may have some setbacks that may change 140 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 2: our circumstances, but it's not gonna change our mind. The 141 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 2: economy may affect my business, but it's not gonna affect 142 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: my mind. I know God is still gonna prosper me. 143 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: This illness may change how I feel, but it's not 144 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 2: gonna change my mind. 145 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: I've already decided I'm gonna live this day happy. Friends. 146 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 2: It's not what happens to us or what we do 147 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: or don't have, it's how our mind is arranged. Now, 148 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 2: I'm asking you today to make up your mind that 149 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 2: you're gonna stay full of joy, that you're gonna get 150 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: up every day and prepare for victory. I walked out 151 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 2: of the house early the other morning, and I heard 152 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 2: all these birds singing and singing so loud and so cheerful, 153 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 2: little birds chirping and chirping, big birds making all this melody. 154 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: It's like they were having a big party. 155 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 2: And I wanted to say to them, Hey, birds, have 156 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 2: you read the newspapers lately? 157 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: Did you see the stock market last year? 158 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 2: You're not supposed to be singing happy and joy in life. 159 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? Your acting like everything is gonna 160 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: be all right? 161 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 2: What was it with those birds? They know a secret. 162 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 2: They know their heavenly Father is in control. They know 163 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 2: God has promised to take care of them. So they 164 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 2: go through the day singing, enjoying life regards wardless of 165 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 2: the circumstances. That's how we need to start off each day. 166 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 2: Get up in the morning and have a song of 167 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 2: praise in your heart, put a smile on your face, 168 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 2: go out during the day, be determined. 169 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: To enjoy it. 170 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 2: That's what it says in First Thessalonians five sixteen. Be 171 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: happy in your faith, glad hearted, continually and always. Notice 172 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 2: how long we're supposed to be glad hearted? How long 173 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 2: are we supposed to have a smile on our face, 174 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 2: as long as people treat us right, as long as 175 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 2: we feel okay, as long as the economy is up. No, 176 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 2: it says, be glad hearted continually and always. That means 177 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 2: in the good times and in the tough times. When 178 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 2: it's sunny and when it's raining, when those dark clouds 179 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 2: are over your head you feel like life. 180 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: Is kind of depressing, kind of gloomy. 181 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 2: Always remember right above those dark clouds, the sun is shining. 182 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: You may not be able to see the sun in 183 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 2: your life right now, but that doesn't mean it's not 184 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 2: up there. 185 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: It's just being. 186 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 2: Blocked by the dark clouds. The good news is the 187 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: clouds are temporary. The clouds are not going to last forever. 188 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 2: The sun is going to shine in your life once again. 189 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 2: In the meantime, keep your joy, be glad hearted continually, 190 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 2: don't let a few clouds sour your life. The rain 191 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 2: falls on the just and the unjust. That means we 192 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 2: all face disappointments, unfair situations, test trials, temptation, But know 193 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 2: this right past the test is promotion. On the other 194 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 2: side of every difficulty is increase. And if you'll go 195 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 2: through the adversity with a smile on your face a 196 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 2: song in your heart, then on the other side there'll 197 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 2: be a reward. But so often in the tough times 198 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 2: we get kind of discouraged. WHI joel, I'm down today 199 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 2: because business is slow, I'm upset because I got a 200 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 2: bad medical report, or I'm worried about this legal situation. 201 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: Human nature tends. 202 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 2: To get negative in the difficult times, but the scripture 203 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: tells us to do just the opposite. It says in 204 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 2: James one verse two, count it all joy when you 205 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: fall into trials. 206 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: That doesn't seem to make sense. 207 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 2: You mean, we're supposed to be joyful and glad hearted 208 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 2: in the middle of tough times. 209 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: Yes, that's right. 210 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 2: It's because when you lose your joy, you lose your strength. 211 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: And in the difficult times more than ever, that's when 212 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: you need your strength. When you have a child that's 213 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 2: hard to raise, that takes a lot of energy, you 214 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 2: need your strength, and your strength is. 215 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: Connected to your joy. 216 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 2: When you're facing a financial crisis, dealing with an illness, 217 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: going through a breakup in a relationship, these things are 218 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 2: very draining. If you go through it negative bitter discourage, 219 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 2: you're not going to have the strength you need to 220 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 2: stand strong and fight the good fight of faith. 221 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: And the way you can keep your joy is. 222 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 2: To know that on the other side of that test 223 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 2: is promotion. On the other side of every setback is 224 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: new opportunity, The other side of every offense is new growth. 225 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 2: If you'll just keep reminding yourself even though this is hard, 226 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: even though I don't understand it, even though it's not fair, 227 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 2: I'm going to keep a good attitude and stay full 228 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 2: of joy, knowing that this is not setting me back, 229 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 2: it is setting me up for God to bring me 230 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 2: out better. The whole key is how you handle the adversity. 231 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 2: If you complain, you will remain, You'll stay right there. 232 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 2: If you get negative and soured on life, you won't 233 00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 2: pass the test. There was promotion available, there was opportunity 234 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 2: for new growth, but because you didn't count it all joy, 235 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 2: you missed out. The good news is God will give 236 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 2: you another opportunity. He can still get you to where 237 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 2: you need to be. For instance, when somebody offends us, 238 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 2: our attitude should be I'm not going to get upset 239 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 2: I'm going to count it all joy. 240 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: I know this is simply a test. 241 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 2: And on the other side of this offense, I'm going 242 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: to be promoted. 243 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: When business is slow. 244 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 2: Instead of complaining, you count it all joy. This too 245 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 2: shall pass. I know God is supplying all of my needs. 246 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 2: Or when you face a disappointment, your emotions will tell 247 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 2: you to get down and discouraged. You'll feel self pity 248 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 2: trying to set in. But instead of getting on board 249 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 2: with your emotions, you start talking to yourself. Self, get up, self, 250 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 2: be strong, there are good days up ahead. 251 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: That's how you pass the test. That's how you count 252 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: it all joy. And in the tough times, don't prized. 253 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 2: If you feel that spirit of heaviness, try to overtake you. 254 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 2: Don't be surprised if you hear those thoughts telling you 255 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 2: it's never gonna work out, you're never gonna get well, 256 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 2: it's over, it's done. Don't believe those lies. You don't 257 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 2: have to get on board with your emotions. 258 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: They're not in charge. You're in charge. 259 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 2: And instead of letting yourself talk to you, you need 260 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 2: to start talking to yourself. In other words, when you 261 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 2: wake up in the morning and that thought comes to 262 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 2: your mind saying it's gonna. 263 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: Be a lousy day. 264 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 2: Don't just agree and say, yeah, it's gonna be a 265 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 2: lousy day. Well, you got so many problems you'll probably 266 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 2: never get well. Yeah, I don't think I'll ever get well. No, 267 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 2: turn it around and talk to yourself. 268 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: Make a declaration of faith. I will get well. God 269 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: is restoring health. 270 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 2: Unto me early in the morning, when that thought comes 271 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 2: saying you're depressed, it's bad, you don't have anything to 272 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: look forward to. No, talk to yourself. This is gonna 273 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 2: be a great day. God has favor in my future. 274 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 2: I can't wait to see what he's. 275 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: Going to do. What are you doing counting it all? Joy? 276 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: This is what David did. 277 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 2: That spirit of heaviness tried to steal his destiny. He 278 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 2: got depressed, very discouraged during dark times. 279 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: You know what he did. 280 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 2: He started talking to himself. He said, why are you 281 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 2: cast down? Oh my soul, Put your hope in the Lord. 282 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 2: He was saying, David, what's wrong with you? Why are 283 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 2: you discouraged? Why have you lost your joy? God is 284 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 2: still on the throne. God still has good things in store. 285 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 2: Put your hope back in the Lord. When that heaviness 286 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 2: tries to come on us. We need to do the 287 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 2: same thing. You got to look in the mirror and say, 288 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 2: listen here self, cheer up, put on a new attitude. 289 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 2: We're not staying down, We're not staying defeated. We're putting 290 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 2: our hope. 291 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: In the Lord. 292 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 2: Today especially, there's so much doom and gloom in our society, 293 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 2: so many negative news reports. If we're not careful, we'll 294 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 2: let it sink in and we'll let that spirit of heaveness. 295 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: Kind of come on us. 296 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 2: And you know, no enthusiasm, no joy. 297 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: Oh, it's just so bad. 298 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 2: The scripture tells us what to do. Put on the 299 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: garment of praise for the spirit of heaveness. When you 300 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 2: feel that heaveness trying to overtake you and tell you 301 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 2: that there's nothing good in your future, you've seen your 302 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 2: best days, you feel the blaws. 303 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: First thing you need to. 304 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 2: Do is take off the old coat of heaviness, throw 305 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 2: away the coat of self pity, get rid of the 306 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 2: coat of discouragement, and put on a new coat of praise. 307 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: That means begin to thank God. 308 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 2: For what he's already done in your life, thank him 309 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 2: for the victories in your past. Thank him for how 310 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 2: far he's already brought you, and then take it one 311 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 2: step further. Thank him in advance for the victories he 312 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 2: has ahead of you. Thank him for the new door 313 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 2: he's opening, Thank him for the situations he's turning around. 314 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 2: Thank him for the favor that he has in your future. 315 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 2: You do that, and you will feel a new joy 316 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,719 Speaker 2: rising up on the inside. You will feel your faith 317 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 2: begin to be increased. You won't have that victim mentality. 318 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 2: You will have a victor mentality. One thing I've learned 319 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 2: is you cannot praise and stay defeated at the same time. 320 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 2: You cannot give God thanks and stay down and discouraged. 321 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 2: When you put on the garment of praise, that spirit 322 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 2: of heaviness has to go. Sometimes you're not gonna feel 323 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 2: like doing it. You don't feel like having a good attitude. 324 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 2: You don't feel like being grateful. That's why God said 325 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 2: to offer up the sacrifice of praise. God knew it 326 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 2: wasn't always going to be easy. Sometimes you're gonna have 327 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 2: to dig your heels in and say, God, I don't 328 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 2: feel like doing this. Doesn't look like it's ever gonna workout. 329 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 2: I'm tired lonely discouraged. But God, I know you're still 330 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 2: on the throne. I know you are good, and you're 331 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 2: good all the time. So I choose to give you praise. 332 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 2: I choose to give you thanks. Anyway, when you offer 333 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 2: up that sacrifice of praise, that's when supernatural things begin 334 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 2: to happen. This is what Paul and Silas did. They 335 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 2: were in jail at midnight. They had been unjustly beaten 336 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: earlier in the day. What were they doing complaining, having 337 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 2: a pity party? 338 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: God is not fair? Where were you today? 339 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 2: No, they were singing praises and giving thanks to God. 340 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 2: They were saying, in effect, God, we know you're bigger 341 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 2: than our problems. We know you're still in control, and 342 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 2: you're well able to get us out of here. Sure enough, 343 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 2: at midnight there was a great earthquake. The prison doors 344 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 2: flung open, the change off their feet. They walked out 345 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 2: of there as free men. What started it when they 346 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 2: offered up the sacrifice of praise. 347 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: Really, any of us. 348 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 2: Can have a good attitude when everything's going our way. 349 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 2: We can all celebrate, be grateful when we're on the mountaintop. 350 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 2: But where are the people that will give God praise? 351 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: Even when the bottom falls out. Where are the people 352 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 2: that will get up each morning and prepare for victory 353 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 2: and increase in spite of all the news. 354 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: Reports predicting doom and gloom. 355 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 2: Where are the people that will say, God, I still 356 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 2: praise you, even though the medical report wasn't good. God, 357 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 2: I still thank you, even though it didn't turn out 358 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 2: my way. I believe I'm looking at those people right now. 359 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 2: You are men and women of great faith. Your roots 360 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 2: go down deep. Many of you could be complaining, You 361 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 2: could be discoura, you could have a chip on your shoulder, 362 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 2: but instead you just keep giving God praise. 363 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: You got that smile on your face. 364 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 2: You're doing the right thing even though the wrong thing's happening. 365 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 2: That's why I can tell you with confidence that you 366 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: are coming in to greater victories. You need to enlarge 367 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 2: your vision. You need to take the limits off of God. 368 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 2: You have not seen your best days. God has victories 369 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 2: in your future that are gonna amaze you. He is 370 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 2: going to show up and show out in unusual ways. 371 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 2: You may be in a tough time right now, but 372 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 2: remember this. The enemy always fights you the hardest when 373 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 2: he knows God has something great in store for you. 374 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 2: You are closest to your victory when it is the 375 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: darkest that is the enemy's final stand. Don't get discouraged, 376 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 2: don't start complaining, Just keep offering up that sacrifice of praise, 377 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 2: it says in Jeremiah thirty three, verse eleven. When you 378 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 2: have the voice of gladness, the voice of joy, and 379 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 2: you offer up the sacrifice of praise, God will cause 380 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 2: the captivity of the land to be reversed and the 381 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 2: fortunes to be restored. Two words I love there, reversed 382 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 2: and restored. 383 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: God is saying. 384 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 2: When you stay full of joy, when you learn to 385 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 2: offer up the sacrifice of praise, God is going to 386 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 2: turn things in your favor. He is going to reverse 387 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 2: negative situations. He's going to restore what's been stolen. But 388 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 2: notice it doesn't happen by complaining, by being negative, by 389 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 2: being sour. It happens when you have the voice of gladness, 390 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 2: the voice of joy. That means you get up in 391 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 2: the morning with the song in your heart. You go 392 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 2: out each day with a smile on your face. Things 393 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 2: may not always go your way, but you don't get discouraged. 394 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 2: You shake it off and count it all joy. 395 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: Listen. 396 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 2: When you live that way, you might as well get ready. 397 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 2: God is going to reverse and restore. He is going 398 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 2: to reverse finances that are going down. He's going to 399 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 2: reverse a business this struggling. He's going to reverse a 400 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 2: legal situation. He's going to reverse. 401 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: A health issue. 402 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 2: Not only that, God is going to restore what should 403 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 2: have been yours. He's going to restore the years you're 404 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 2: lost because somebody did you wrong. He's going to restore 405 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 2: a relationship that's on the rocks. It's going to happen 406 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 2: because you've got the voice of joy, the voice of gladness, 407 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 2: and you keep offering up that sacrifice of praise, and 408 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 2: all through the scripture it tells us to rejoice in 409 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 2: the Lord always. It's interesting the word rejoice doesn't just 410 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 2: mean to be vocal, to give God praise with our words, 411 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 2: but rejoice also means to brighten up, to spin around 412 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 2: and delete for joy. Do you realize you can rejoice 413 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 2: by saying putting a smile on your face when times 414 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 2: are tough, things aren't going our way. Many people have 415 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 2: a long sour face. They're down, discourage, worried, upset. But 416 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 2: when you count it all joy, you smile and have 417 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 2: a pleasant demeanor, not because you necessarily feel like it, 418 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 2: not because all your circumstances are perfect. 419 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: You smile by faith. 420 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 2: You smile knowing that your countenance, your expression is saying 421 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 2: to God, I trust you God, I don't feel like 422 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 2: doing this, but I choose to rejoice. In other words, 423 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 2: when you smile in the difficult times, you are offering 424 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 2: up that sacrifice of praise. Sometimes the best thing we 425 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 2: can do when we're having a tough day is to 426 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 2: just put a smile on our face. A lot of 427 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 2: people when it gets difficult, they've got that long, gloomy face. 428 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,959 Speaker 2: They look like they've lost their last friend. They'll come 429 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 2: up to me, joel, I just rejoicing in the Lord. No, 430 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 2: you need to notify your face. 431 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: You need to get your. 432 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 2: Face lined up with what you know in your heart, 433 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 2: like that little bird I heard singing deep down. 434 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: You know everything's gonna be all right. 435 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 2: You know God is fighting your battles for you. You 436 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 2: know nothing can snatch you out of his hand. You 437 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 2: know God holds victory in store for you. You know no 438 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 2: weapon formed against you is gonna prosper. You know what 439 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 2: was meant for your harm God's gonna use to your advantage. 440 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,959 Speaker 2: It's on the inside now you need to let it 441 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 2: get to the outside. 442 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 3: Sometimes life can make you feel like you were just 443 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 3: living in the dark. Even your prayers don't feel like 444 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 3: they are making it to heaven. But God is listening 445 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,719 Speaker 3: and his light is about to shine. 446 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 2: We know God is all powerful that he can answer 447 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 2: any prayer, but sometimes we don't know what to pray. 448 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 2: We don't think we deserve god goodness. Maybe we're inconveniencing him, 449 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 2: or he has more important things to deal with. But 450 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 2: God is concerned about every detail of your life. 451 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: He's waiting to hear your prayers. 452 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 2: I have a new resource called Praying with Confidence, guided 453 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 2: prayers for life's moments.
