1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

Speaker 2: you and pray for God's very best in your life.

Speaker 1: God bless you. It's great to be with.

00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: You today, and I hope you'll stay connected with us

8
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 2: during the week to our daily podcast, our YouTube channel,

00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 2: social media, and you can come visit us in person.

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: We'd love to have you be a part of one

11
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: of our services.

12
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: I'd like to start with.

13
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 2: Something funny, and I heard about this pastor. He'd been

14
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 2: out in the woods bear hunting all day long, searched

15
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: and searched, but no sign of a bear, and finally,

16
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 2: in frustration, he threw his gun down and he went

17
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: to the stream to cool off, and about that time

18
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 2: he saw this huge grizzly bear about one hundred yards away,

19
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: coming toward him full speed ahead. He fell down on

20
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: his knees and said, God, please convert this bear into

21
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: a Christian. Miraculously, the bear froze in his tracks and

22
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: put both pause up in the air and said, Lord,

23
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: thank you for this food.

24
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: That I'm about to eat.

25
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: All right, y'all say it like you mean it. This

26
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 2: is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

27
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do

28
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be

29
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: talked the word of God. I'll boldly confess my mind

30
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

31
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 2: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

32
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: to talk to you today about set your mind. When

33
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: you wake up in the morning, all kinds of thoughts

34
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: can come to your mind, and depending on what's happening

35
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: in your life, what day of the week it is,

36
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: what's going right, what's going wrong, the mind will naturally

37
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: gravitate toward the negative. Tell you here's something to worry about,

38
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: here's something to be frustrated over. Here's the reason to

39
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: be sad, a reason to be offended. We can't stop

40
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: these thoughts from coming.

41
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: But here's the key. Nobody can force you to think.

42
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: Then you don't have to dwell on those thoughts.

43
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: You can choose to dismiss them and not pay any attention.

44
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: You have complete control over your thought life, and it's

45
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: so important that you be selective because your life is

46
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: going to.

47
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: Follow your thoughts.

48
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: What you think about is setting your direction, impacting your mood,

49
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: determining your attitude. Thoughts create feelings. You think sad thoughts,

50
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 2: you're gonna feel sad. You think can't do it. I'm

51
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: not talented, I'm at a disadvantage.

52
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna feel inferior, not good enough.

53
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: But if you think positive, faith filled thoughts, you're gonna

54
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 2: feel positive and hopeful. If you're grateful, you think this

55
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: is gonna be a good day. Lord, thank you that

56
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: I'm alive, and that I have family to love, a

57
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: job to go to.

58
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: That I'm healthy and strong.

59
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: Then you're gonna have energy in good attitude, and you're

60
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 2: gonna attract good breaks.

61
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: Your mind is like a magnet.

62
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: It draws in what you're thinking about when you wake

63
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: up in the morning. If you start thinking, man, I

64
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: don't want to go to work today, and I don't

65
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: feel like dealing with these kids, and I'm never gonna get.

66
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: Past this sickness, it's gonna be a lousy day.

67
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: Just imagine you're sending an invitation to everything you're dwelling

68
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: on lousy day.

69
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: I'd like to personally.

70
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: Invite you discouragement, sickness, hard times. Please come see me today.

71
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: No quit inviting the wrong things.

72
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: When those thoughts come, do yourself a favor. Dismiss them, don't.

73
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: Give them the time of day. You get to choose

74
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: what takes up space in your mind.

75
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: Instead of inviting.

76
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: Negative, discouraging, can't do it thoughts, how about inviting faith,

77
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: Inviting whope, inviting the goodness of God.

78
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: This is what David did.

79
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: He woke up in the morning and said, this is

80
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: the day the Lord has made. I'm gonna rejoice and

81
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: be glad in it. He said, surely goodness and mercy

82
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: will follow me. When he faced Goliath, a giant twice

83
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: his size, he said, I will defeat you and feed

84
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: your head to the birds of the air.

85
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: No wonder.

86
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 2: He had faith and confidence God's favor. His mind was

87
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: going in the right direction. He was careful about what

88
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: he invited, and sure he had thoughts of doubt and worry. David,

89
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: that giant's too big, You've got too many problems.

90
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: He had to do what we all have to do.

91
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: He dismissed it.

92
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: I'm not dwelling on that. I know my God is bigger.

93
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: I know I am well able pay attention to what

94
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: you're inviting. You can't think defeat and have victory. You

95
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: can't go through the day worried and stay in peace.

96
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: You can't dwell on who hurt you and who did

97
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: you wrong and see the beauty for ashes, and God

98
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 2: pay you back for what was unfair?

99
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: Are you inviting the right things? Mind going in the.

100
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 2: Right direction, Paul said in Colossians three, Set your mind

101
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: on higher things and keep it set. Every morning you

102
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: have to set your mind. It's a choice we have

103
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: to make. Positive, this is going to be a great day. Hopeful, God,

104
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 2: I know you have good things in store. Grateful, I'm

105
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 2: blessed to be alive. I'm going to enjoy this day.

106
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: This doesn't happen automatically. If you don't set your mind,

107
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: other things will set it for you. Your feelings will

108
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 2: set it, circumstances can set it. Other people will set it,

109
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: or the enemy will set it. An unset mind is

110
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 2: like an unlocked house.

111
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: Anyone can come in.

112
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: Imagine waking up in the morning, you see a stranger

113
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: in your kitchen pouring a cup of coffee.

114
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: You look over and.

115
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: Somebody's sitting on your couch watching your television.

116
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: Then someone walks by wearing.

117
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: Your clothes, carrying your purse, you and think, oh, that's

118
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 2: too bad. They're taking my stuff, invading my prophecy. No.

119
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: Number one, you throw them out, and number two you

120
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: would start locking your door. You would make sure that

121
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: it was dead bolted so no strangers could get in.

122
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 2: The mind is the same way. If you're not setting

123
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: your mind, you're leaving the door unlocked. You're saying, by.

124
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: Inaction fear, you're welcome here.

125
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 2: Now come on in worry, insecurity, make yourself at home. No,

126
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: start locking your door, Start setting your mind. This is

127
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 2: not an option, it's a necessity. Your mind is your

128
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 2: control center. Your thinking runs your life, your attitude, your mood,

129
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: your vision. If the enemy can control your thoughts, he

130
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: can control your life. If you let circumstances set your

131
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: mind or other people how you feel, it's going to

132
00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 2: limit your destiny. When David said this is the day

133
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: the Lord has made, he was in a difficult place.

134
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: He had enemies chasing him, people were slandering his name,

135
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: family had turned on him.

136
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: His mood would have.

137
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: Been sour, discouraged, why is this happening? But he didn't

138
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: let that determine his thinking. He overrode all the lower things, fear, discouragement, offense,

139
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: and he set his mind on higher things, faith, his purpose,

140
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: the promises of God. This is something we need to

141
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: do on a daily basis. Just like we brush our teeth,

142
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: we comb our hair, we also set our mind. We

143
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: get an agreement with who God says we are the

144
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: higher things. That's why every service we make that declaration.

145
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: I am blessed, I am strong, healthy, talented, victorious, a masterpiece.

146
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: That's not just being positive. That's setting your mind. That's

147
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: locking out the fear, the worry, the doubt. Nothing good

148
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: is in my future. No, sorry, you're too late. My

149
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: mind is already set. My path is getting brighter and brighter.

150
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: I haven't seen, heard, or imagine what God has in store.

151
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: If you're dealing with an illness, those thoughts will come.

152
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: What if you don't get well, What if you're not

153
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: able to go to work? How you're going to pay

154
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: your bills? Those thoughts will come to see if your

155
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: door is unlocked?

156
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: Did they set it? Did they put the dead boat in?

157
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: Or is it unset?

158
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: You could be worried, go through the day discouraged. No,

159
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: your attitude. Lord, I thank you that you're restoring health

160
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: back into me. That healing, wholeness, vitality is on the way.

161
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: That's how you keep your mind set. You're dwelling on

162
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 2: the higher things, what God promised you. Or maybe you

163
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: have a child that's off course, or you went through

164
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: a breakup, a business is struggling. Thoughts will tell you

165
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: all the worst case scenarios. You'll always be lonelier, that

166
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: child will never do what's right. There are no good

167
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 2: options for you. There's a battle taking place in our thinking.

168
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: One Peter says, to gird up the loins of your mind.

169
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: It's interesting that it uses loins concerning guarding your mind.

170
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: Loins have to do with reproduction, with what you give

171
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: birth to. Your mind is like a womb. It will

172
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: produce what you're thinking about. That's why you have to

173
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 2: gird up the loins of your mind.

174
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: Well. The scripture says that.

175
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: Satan is a liar and the father of all lies.

176
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 2: If he's the father, he has no power unless he

177
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 2: can find a womb. He needs somewhere to plant his

178
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 2: lies so there will grow and eventually be given birth

179
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: to your mind. Your womb is no place for the

180
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: enemy's lives, to think that we would give our most

181
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: valuable space to become a breeding ground for doubt, fear, worry,

182
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 2: to incubate, to grow, to get you give birth, no thanks.

183
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: Your womb was created for the promises of God. Your

184
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 2: mind is a breeding ground for faith, for victory, for abundance.

185
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: You need to keep this perspective when the negative thoughts come,

186
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 2: the worries, the what is that you've seen your best days?

187
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 2: Those are not just harmless thoughts. Those are seeds looking

188
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: for a wound that's open, that's ready, so it can reproduce.

189
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: We all have.

190
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: Something in our wound, something we're dwelling on. Is what

191
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 2: you're incubating, What you want to give birth to. If

192
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: you gave birth to what you're thinking about, is it

193
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: something you're going to be happy with? If not, you

194
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 2: need to reset your mind.

195
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: You need to uproot all those negative seeds.

196
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: Your womb was never meant to incubate the enemy's lies.

197
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 2: You're too old, you made too many mistakes. You can't

198
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 2: break the addiction. You'll never meet the right Personize what's happening.

199
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: That's the enemy trying to plant his seeds in your womb.

200
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: You need to tell him you have the wrong person.

201
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: I am God's property. I belong to the most high.

202
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: My womb only accepts the higher things, the promises of God,

203
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: what he's declared over my life. If you have a

204
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: bad break and a door closes, those thoughts will come. Man,

205
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: it's all downhill from here. Get discouraged, be better, give

206
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 2: up on those dreams. That's the lower things. That's the

207
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 2: enemy trying to use your womb to bring about his lives.

208
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 2: Try a different approach the higher things. Father, you said

209
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: that all things are working together for my good. I

210
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: may not understand this, but God, I trust you.

211
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: I know something better is coming.

212
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 2: Perhaps you had a set back in your finances, you

213
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: lost a client.

214
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: It's easy to worry.

215
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: Let all the negative thoughts play. No, don't leave your

216
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 2: mind unset. Don't leave the door unlocked when worry knox. No, thanks,

217
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 2: you're not welcome here. Father, you said I will lend

218
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: and not borrow. Lord, I thank you that you're supplying

219
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 2: all of my needs. That I live under the open

220
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 2: windows of heaven. This is what I had to do

221
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: when my dad went to be with the Lord back

222
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety nine.

223
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: I knew I was supposed to step up and pastor

224
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: the church.

225
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 2: But all these negative thoughts filled my mind. Joy, you're

226
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: not a minister, you don't have the training, you don't

227
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: have a big personality like your father.

228
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: Nobody's going to listen to you.

229
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 2: Those were seeds trying to incubate in my wound. It

230
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: was the father of lies trying to deceive me into

231
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 2: giving birth to what would stop my purpose.

232
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: And I felt fear.

233
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 2: I felt insecure, I felt unqualified. But by the grace

234
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: of God, I didn't let my feelings set my mind.

235
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 2: Other people said that I couldn't do it, that I

236
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: wasn't good enough. I didn't let them sept my mind.

237
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: The enemy kept whispering that can't do it thoughts. I

238
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: didn't let him set my mind. I went back to

239
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: what God says about me, who he says I am.

240
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: I set my mind on the higher things.

241
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: I can do all.

242
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: Things through Christ Father, thinking that I'm strong in the Lord, equipped, empowered, anointed.

243
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: Those are the seeds I let incubate in my womb.

244
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: Had I let the enemy's lies grow and get stronger,

245
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be up here today. You're going to give

246
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: birth to what you're dwelling on?

247
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: Is it what you want?

248
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: Are you setting your mind each day girding up the

249
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: loins of your mind? That means being selective what you're

250
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: dwelling on?

251
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: Or have you let the door unlocked?

252
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 2: Worry, doubt, can't do it is now breeding in your womb.

253
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 2: The good news is it's not too late. You can

254
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: reset your mind today. You can empty out all the

255
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 2: negative and start dwelling on the higher things. Why don't

256
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 2: you let some new seeds get planted in your womb.

257
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: See God is your heavenly father.

258
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: His flans for.

259
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: You are for good, to prosper you, to heal you,

260
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: to figure with joy, bring great relationships.

261
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: Then there's the Father of lies.

262
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: The scripture says he's here to steal, kill and destroy.

263
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: You get to choose which father you listen to.

264
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 2: March chapter five, There was a woman that had a

265
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: bleeding disorder. She had been sick for twelve years, and

266
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: she'd gone to the best doctors and spent all of

267
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: her funds.

268
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: But continue to get worse. When we've been doing.

269
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 2: The right thing a long time and not seeing improvement,

270
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: it's easy to get discouraged.

271
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: The never lies come.

272
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: You're never gonna get well, never see your business take off,

273
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 2: never be free from that addiction. This lady was physically

274
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 2: weak from all the bleeding, and emotionally.

275
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: She was drained. She was considered unclean.

276
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: She was not supposed to be around people. But one

277
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: day she heard that Jesus was passing through her city.

278
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 2: She'd heard about the miracles he had performed, and how

279
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: he healed the crippled man and cleansed the leopard and

280
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 2: calmed the storm.

281
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: Something said to her, you can be healed too. This

282
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: is your moment. Faith began to rise in her heart.

283
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: She felt this hope, this expectancy that said, if you

284
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: can get to Jesus, you will be made home. There

285
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: was a shift that day. Something happened in her mind.

286
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: For years, she had been discouraged, worried. Thoughts told her

287
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: it'll never change. All her circumstances said it's too late.

288
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,239
Speaker 1: You've run out of options.

289
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 2: Her feelings told her you're too tired, just stay home.

290
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: But this day a new.

291
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: Fire was lit on the inside.

292
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: She didn't let her history set her mind.

293
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: She didn't let her feelings set her mind other people's opinions.

294
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: She made the decision, I'm gonta set my mind on

295
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: higher things.

296
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: If I can touch the edge of his road, I

297
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: know I will be healed. There were so many.

298
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: People trying to see Jesus. She had to push her

299
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: way through the crowd.

300
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I need to get through. Pardon me, scoot

301
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: over a little. I gotta see him, the scripture says.

302
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: She kept saying to herself, when I touch him, I

303
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: will be healed.

304
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: Look at her new mindset.

305
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: After years of believing it's not gonna happen, I've run

306
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 2: out of options. Now her mindset is I will be healed,

307
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 2: not I hope, So maybe something will happen. What's it

308
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: gonna hurt for trying? No. She had her mindset Heliu

309
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 2: is coming, breakthrough is coming, victory is coming. Something new

310
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: was incubating in her wound. What God had promised her

311
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 2: that seed was growing.

312
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: As Jesus passed by.

313
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 2: At the last moment, she reached out, touched the edge

314
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: of his robe.

315
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: And instantly she was healed. Jesus said to her daughter,

316
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: your faith has made you whole.

317
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 2: Maybe like her, you've had delays, disappointments. Now you've let

318
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 2: doubt convince you that you can't accompass your dream or

319
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 2: you can't overcome this problem. God has you hearing this

320
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 2: so you can reset your mind. That's where the battle

321
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: is taking place. This lady's circumstances didn't change until she

322
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: changed her mind. If you will set your mind on

323
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: the higher things, then God will do what you can't do.

324
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: He'll open the doors, he'll.

325
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: Bring the healing, He'll turn situations around.

326
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: But here's the whole key. He needs a wound to

327
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: work through.

328
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 2: He needs a mind that will receive the seed and

329
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 2: that will believe the promises.

330
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: When nothing is improving, you don't see how it can

331
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: work out.

332
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 2: Do like she did, Lord, I want to thank you

333
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 2: that healing is coming.

334
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: Thank you that my.

335
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: Business will flourish, that my children will excel. I may

336
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 2: not see away, but I walk by faith and not

337
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 2: by sight.

338
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: I know that you have a way. See.

339
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: Your mind is like a thermostat. You have to set it.

340
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 2: What temperature do you want it to be? Sometimes we

341
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: operate more like a thermometer. A thermometer measures the temperature

342
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 2: adapts to the environment. A thermostat sets the temperature and

343
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: changes the environment. But we wake up in the morning

344
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: and feeling sour. If we have a thermometer mentality.

345
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: We accept the conditions.

346
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 2: We're in a bad mood, go around, discourage someone's rude

347
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 2: at the office, We're rude back to them. We get

348
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 2: caught in traffic, we're stressed. Child doesn't do what's right,

349
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 2: We're upset. Living as a thermometer. Letting conditions set your

350
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: mind is going to make life a roller coaster. You

351
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 2: can't control all those things. Why don't you start setting

352
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 2: your mind? Make that decision every morning that you're going

353
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,959
Speaker 2: to be positive, hopeful, and grateful. When you decide ahead

354
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: of time, you can enjoy the day despite what doesn't

355
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: work out.

356
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: When your mind is.

357
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: Set, you don't let people steal your joy. Delays caused

358
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 2: you to be sour. You know God is on the throne.

359
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 2: This day is a gift, and you've made up your

360
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 2: mind to enjoy it. A few weeks ago, Victoria asked

361
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 2: me to run her up to the grocery store.

362
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: She just had to get one thing. He's just gonna

363
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: take a second.

364
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 3: Well.

365
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: I drove into the parking lot over here.

366
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: It was packed cars everywhere, so crowded, and I finally

367
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 2: made it up to the front and I was gonna

368
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: drop her off at the main door.

369
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: And go park.

370
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 2: She jumped out of the car real fast so I

371
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: wouldn't block everyone.

372
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: She needed something from the.

373
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 2: Back seat, so I put the car in part because

374
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 2: I had to reach way back and take my foot

375
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: off the brake, and I handed it to her and

376
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: she ran in. I went to put the car in drive,

377
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 2: but it wouldn't engage because she had the car keys.

378
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: In her purse. Now she was in the store and

379
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: her phone's.

380
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: Right next to me, and I'm out front blocking everybody.

381
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 2: We start honking and hollering, driving by waving with one finger,

382
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 2: and the security guard came over and I told him

383
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: what happened.

384
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: She's just gonna be a minute.

385
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 2: And ten minutes later here comes Victoria with three bags,

386
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 2: and somehow God always multiplies that one thing. I was

387
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 2: sorry I blocked the traffic, but the fact is life

388
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: is too short to let these things still are joy.

389
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: And I thought, I'm not gonna let that ruin the

390
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 2: rest of my night, already ruined everybody else's.

391
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: I set my mind on the.

392
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 2: Higher things, to enjoy this day, to love my family,

393
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: to honor God.

394
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: See the scripture says to set your mind and keep

395
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: it sat. God knew during the day.

396
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: We'd have opportunities to unset it, to be frustrated, to

397
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: get offended, given to doubt, Joe, I didn't get the

398
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 2: contractor things didn't work out.

399
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: Don't keep it sat.

400
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 2: God is still in control. He's still ordering your steps.

401
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 2: This day is a gift from God. Don't miss the

402
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 2: opportunity to enjoy it. I read about something called neural clustering.

403
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 2: When you dwell on a thought long enough, just ten

404
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: or fifteen seconds, the way the brain works is it

405
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 2: starts finding.

406
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: Other similar thoughts.

407
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 2: Your thoughts begin to grow, and it creates momentum. If

408
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 2: you're thinking a fearful thought, the mind says, okay, we're

409
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 2: thinking about fear. Here are five more things to be

410
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 2: fearful about. When we're worried, thinking what if this doesn't

411
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: work out, the mind will give you more reasons to

412
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 2: be worried. The more you think about it, the bigger

413
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 2: that cluster gets. The good news is this doesn't just

414
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: work in the negative. It works in the positive. When

415
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 2: you think grateful thoughts, you get up in the morning,

416
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 2: say Lord, thank you that I'm alive. As you dwell

417
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: on that, the mind goes to work, finds other.

418
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: Things to be grateful for it. That thought comes.

419
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: Lord, thank you for my children, and thank you for

420
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 2: turning that problem around.

421
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: Lord, thank you for that door that you open.

422
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 2: You just thought the first thought, but then the mind

423
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: starts recruiting these other thoughts just like it. Your thoughts

424
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: are not stagnant. They're creating momentum. My question, is it

425
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 2: the momentum that you want. I'm healthy, I'm strong, I'm favored.

426
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 2: You dwell on that and more good thoughts. You're going

427
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 2: to come. God's fighting my battles. It's gonna be a

428
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: blessed you. I'm excited about my future. That neural cluster

429
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 2: is getting bigger, stronger, and finding more of the same

430
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 2: type thoughts. But sometimes we're letting our mind work against us,

431
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 2: and we wake up in the morning dwelling on the

432
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 2: negative and what's not going to work out, And before long,

433
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 2: here's another thing to be depressed about. Another bad break

434
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: you went through, another person that hurts you. That's not

435
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 2: the enemy. That's your mind doing what it was designed

436
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 2: to do. If you think nothing good ever happens to me,

437
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 2: your brain fires off that circuit. Start looking for evidence.

438
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 2: Let's give him some examples. Here comes bad memory. Number one.

439
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 2: Number two, here's that time you failed. Number three. Remember

440
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 2: those people that let you out. That negative will continue

441
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 2: until you put a stop to it. You can spiral

442
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 2: into doubt, or you can spiral into faith.

443
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: You can spiral into.

444
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: Worry, or you can spiral into peace. Your thoughts are growing,

445
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 2: they're multiplying, producing more of the same. This is why

446
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 2: Paul said set your mind on higher things.

447
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: He was saying, don't.

448
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: Let the momentum work against you. Don't let the negative spiral.

449
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 2: Switch over to faith, to hope, to gratitude. Get your

450
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 2: mind to work for you. It's attracting more of what.

451
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: You're thinking about.

452
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: A friend of mine was on a train years ago

453
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 2: and he met this couple that was very successful, and

454
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 2: the lady who was wearing expense of clothing, nice jewelry,

455
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 2: and they were in the first class cabin together. Everything

456
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 2: was great, but from the very start this woman did

457
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: nothing but complain. She complained the temperature too cold, food

458
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 2: wasn't good, the service too slow, the cabin wasn't clean,

459
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 2: the train was too noisy.

460
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: She was miserable. Nothing was right.

461
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 2: Later, my friend struck up a conversation with her husband

462
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 2: and he was just the opposite, friendly and easy going

463
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: and enjoying life. And he told how he was in

464
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 2: the car business and God had blessed them so greatly

465
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 2: and he was just so thankful. Well, my friend asked

466
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 2: about his wife, and he said she's in the manufacturing business,

467
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 2: and he was kind of surprised. It didn't seem to

468
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 2: fit her. He asked, what does she manufacture? The husband said,

469
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 2: she manufactures unhappiness.

470
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: She's unhappy everywhere she goes.

471
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 2: Whether you realize it or not, you're manufacturing something.

472
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: Thoughts are producing more light minded thoughts.

473
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 2: If you dwell on a positive thought, your mind will

474
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: bring you ten more. If you find a reason to complain,

475
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 2: your mind will give you a dozen more things to

476
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 2: complain about. You're creating mental momentum. Make sure yours is

477
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: going in the right direction. Let's manufacture faith. Let's manufacture hope, joy, generosity.

478
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: Set your mind on the higher things. Friends, life is short.

479
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 2: We don't have time to live negative, bitter, worried. Today

480
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 2: can be a turning point. You can reset your mind,

481
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 2: like the lady with the issue of blood. You can

482
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 2: choose to think some new thoughts. Don't let the enemy

483
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: use your wound to incubate His lies. Your womb is

484
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 2: designed to give birth to what God promised you. When

485
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 2: you wake up in the morning, gon start the day

486
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 2: in neutral. Set your mind on faith, on.

487
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: Hope, and on victory. If you'll do this, I believe

488
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: and declare you're going to have more joy, more peace.

489
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 2: You will overcome your obstacles, accomplish your dreams, and live

490
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 2: the life of victory God has in store for you

491
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 2: in Jesus' name.

492
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: If you receive it, Can you say amen?

493
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 2: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus

494
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 2: the Lord of your life. Would you pray with me?

495
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins, Come

496
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 2: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior.

497
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 2: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got

498
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 2: born again and we'd love to send you some free

499

Speaker 2: information on your new walk with the Lord. You can

00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 2: text the number on the screen or go to the website.

Speaker 1: But I hope you'll get into.

Speaker 2: A good Bible based church and keep God first place.

503
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 3: Life throws so much at us disappointments, failures, challenges. We

504
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 3: can feel so out of touch that we no longer

505
00:26:58,680 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 3: recognize ourselves.

506
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 2: Life has a way of changing us. At one time,

507
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 2: we were outgoing and excited about our dreams. But when

508
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: we go through disappointments and people do us wrong, it's

509
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 2: easy to lose that positive, passionate person that we used

510
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 2: to be. In my new book, Rediscovering the Forgotten You,

511
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 2: I'll help you get back to who you really are,

512

Speaker 2: the joyful you, the confident you, the talented you. It's

513
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 2: not too late. You haven't been through too much. You

514
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,719
Speaker 2: may have lost part of yourself, but you can find yourself.

515
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,000
