On the cake. 21 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 2: It says there is no fear in love, but perfect 22 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 2: love cast out fear. Well, the baker accidentally left off 23 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 2: the one and instead inscribed John for eighteen. It reads 24 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 2: for you have had five husbands and the man you're 25 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: with now is not your husband. 26 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 3: A small mistake. 27 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 2: Okay, y'all say it like you mean it. This is 28 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 2: my Bible. I am what it says I am. I 29 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: have what it says I have. I can do what 30 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 2: it says I can do. Today I will be taught 31 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 2: the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, 32 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,639 Speaker 2: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. 33 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk 34 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 2: to you today about reframe it. How you see things 35 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 2: will determine how you're going to live. We don't always 36 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 2: see them as they are. We see them as we are. 37 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 2: We all have filters from which we view the world. 38 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: How we were raised, past experiences, our personality, the culture. 39 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: All these things affect our perspective. You can take two 40 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: people and put them in the same situation. A lot 41 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 2: of good things happening and a few negative will be happy, content, 42 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: enjoying life. The other will be discouraged, worried, complaining about 43 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 2: where they are. 44 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 3: The difference is their filter. If your filter is. 45 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: Contamidated, it's going to distort everything you see, make. 46 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 3: Your negative and critical. 47 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 2: And I can't overcome this challenge. The problem is our 48 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: perception becomes our reality. How we view it becomes real 49 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: to us. The scripture says to the purer all things 50 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: are pure. 51 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 3: You have to reframe it. 52 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: You could have a great life, great family, to love, health, opportunity, 53 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: But if you have the wrong frame and you're seeing 54 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 2: it through a distorted lens. 55 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 3: You want enjoy what God has given you. 56 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 2: See it from a new perspective, positive, grateful, thanking God 57 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: for what you have focused on the good. See, every 58 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: blessing brings a burden. You can't be blessed without having 59 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 2: more challenges. 60 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 3: You prayed for that bigger. 61 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 2: House, but you have to clean it. You believe for 62 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: that spouse, but he can get on your nerves. You 63 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 2: dream of those children. 64 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 3: They take a lot of work. 65 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: If you focus on the burden, you'll miss the blessing. Yet, 66 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: the burden is only a fraction of what the blessing is. 67 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: I hear people say I gotta go to work today. 68 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: The truth is you don't have to go to work. 69 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 2: You get to go to work. God gave your breath 70 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 2: to breathe, He woke you up this morning, gave you 71 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: that job, open that door, put talent in you. 72 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 3: You need to reframe it. 73 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: Lord, Thank you that I get to go to work today. 74 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: Thank you for blessing me with this position. 75 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 3: Now Joel they don't treat me right. 76 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: This coworker always leads me out, says derogatory things that 77 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: doesn't have to steal your joy. Reframe it, Father, thank 78 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 2: you that you are fighting my battles. In the meantime, 79 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: I'm gonna shine right where you have me. I'm going 80 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: to prosper where I'm planning. Don't go the next twenty 81 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 2: years missing the blessing because you're focused on the burden. Well, 82 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 2: I got to drive in traffic. It's always backed up. 83 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 2: It takes me forever. The fact that you're in traffic 84 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 2: tells me God's blessed you with a car. He's blessed 85 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: you with eyesight and a sound of mind. Reframe it, Lord, 86 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: I thank you that I get to drive in traffic today. 87 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 2: Thank you for giving me the resources, the strength. The 88 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: hell changes your whole attitude. Really, it dishonors God for 89 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 2: us to go through the day complaining and focused on problems. 90 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 2: This day is a gift from God. Once we live it, 91 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 2: we can't get it back. The enemy would love for 92 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: you to waste years living a blessed life but not 93 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 2: recognizing it. Walking in God's favor and protection goodness. 94 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 3: But always seeing the burden. 95 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 2: What's wrong what you don't have while you miss all 96 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 2: the great things God has blessed you with. Well, I 97 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: got to clean the house again today, seems like that's 98 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 2: all I do. The fact is, you get to clean 99 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 2: the house. God blessed you with the place to live. 100 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 2: It's giving you strength, health to be productive. A lot 101 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 2: of people in the hospital that would love to be 102 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: able to get out and go to work, go to. 103 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 3: The grocery store and mow the lawn. Reframe it. 104 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: Set of complaining as you vacuum, Lord, thank you that 105 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 2: my arms work, thank you that my lungs function. Thank 106 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 2: you that I have energy and mobility. Hey, Joel, I 107 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,559 Speaker 2: do that, but my house is too small. I don't 108 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 2: like being here. 109 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 3: Here's the key. 110 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 2: If you don't get happy where you are, you probably 111 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 2: won't get to where you want to be. If you'll 112 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 2: learn to thank God for what you have, then God 113 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 2: can apply it. 114 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 3: You remember when. 115 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 2: The disciples brought the five loaves and two fish to Jesus. 116 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 3: It wasn't enough. There were five. 117 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 2: Thousand people they needed to feed. Jesus could have been 118 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 2: disc Ronald thought, what good is this? 119 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 3: I need a whole lot more. 120 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 2: But the scripture says he lifted up the loaves and 121 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 2: the fish and thank God for it. 122 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 3: When he gave thanks for what was. 123 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: Not enough, God multiplied it and it fed all five 124 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: thousand people. Sometimes we're waiting for God to multiply are 125 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 2: not enough, but we're missing this step. We're discouraged complaining God, 126 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 2: When are you gonna change this? Try a different approach, Father, 127 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 2: I thank you for this small apartment. 128 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 3: Lord, I thank you for this older car. 129 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 2: God, I'm grateful for this job, even though they're not 130 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: treating me right. When you thank God for what's not enough, 131 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 2: that's when God can multiply things and bring you into 132 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 2: more than enough. Joel, I'm so taking care of my children, 133 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 2: cooking meals, picking up their toys, having to. 134 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 3: Get up in the middle of the night. You need 135 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 3: to reframe it. 136 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 2: You're focused on the burden, missing the blessing. Do you 137 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 2: know how many people would love to have your children. 138 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 2: I pray for couples after every service that are believing 139 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 2: to conceive. 140 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 3: Their dream is to have a child. 141 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 2: Some spend thousands of dollars on fertility treatments. They'd give 142 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 2: anything to have your child. But when you're only focused 143 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 2: on the burden. It'll drain your energy and take your joy, 144 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: make your critical. You don't enjoy who they are. You're 145 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 2: just trying to get through the day. Got to get 146 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: them through preschool, get them through junior high. 147 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 3: Have a new perspective. 148 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 2: Those children are a gift that God's entrusted you with. 149 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: He could have given them to anyone, but he chose you. 150 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 2: Take time to celebrate who they are. Laugh at the 151 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 2: funny things they do, enjoyed their personalities. Life is flying 152 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: by you look up in their grown don't miss the 153 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 2: beauty of this day. 154 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 3: What Joel. 155 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: I understand about the house, the car, the kids. But 156 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: this spouse of mind, he gets on my nerves. This 157 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: woman I'm married too, she stresses me out. This may 158 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 2: surprise you, but some people would love to have your spouse, 159 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 2: that husband that irritates you. Some ladies would be thrilled 160 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: to be his wife. I know some of you are thinking, 161 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 2: can I give you a phone number? But the truth 162 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: is everyone has flaws, everyone has weaknesses, but most of 163 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 2: the time they have many more good things than they 164 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 2: do negative. What are you focusing on the blessing or 165 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: the burden. I've seen people break up over little things 166 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 2: that they let turn into big things. You need to 167 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 2: see the good in the people God has given you 168 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 2: the love the scripture says, to make allowances for their weaknesses, 169 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 2: not make a list of their weaknesses. Not rehearse all 170 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 2: the things you don't like, remind them where they fall short. 171 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 2: People respond to praise more than they do criticism. Instead 172 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 2: of complaining that your husband never mows the lawn, never 173 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 2: takes the trash out next time they do, try praising 174 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 2: him for it, complimenting him, man, you look so good 175 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 2: mowing that line, while your muscles are so big taking 176 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 2: out that trash. You praise him like that he'll take 177 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 2: the trash out every hour. Instead of complaining about the 178 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 2: things your wife does that you don't like, nitpicky, petty, 179 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 2: stirring things up, try telling her how beautiful she looks 180 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: all through the day and how glad you are that 181 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 2: she's your wife, and thank her for being such a 182 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 2: great mother, making the home so loving, fond, and peaceful. 183 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 2: It's not complicated, it's just reframing, shifting our perspective from 184 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 2: seeing what's wrong to seeing what's right, from focusing on 185 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 2: the burden to focusing on the blessing. I read where 186 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 2: in relationships, your spouse is only going to have eighty 187 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 2: percent of what you need. They can be the best person, loving, carrying, kind, 188 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 2: but no person has one hundred percent. They're going to 189 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 2: be areas that they can't give you. If you don't 190 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 2: recognize they can't be everything, they're not superman or superwoman, 191 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 2: you'll get frustrated. Now often we focus on the twenty 192 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 2: percent that they don't have, rather than enjoying the eighty 193 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 2: percent that they do have. Your husband may be a 194 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 2: hard worker, credibly responsible. 195 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 3: He's great with the. 196 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 2: Kids, but he's not a big talker. He's more quiet. 197 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 2: That's okay, he's got eighty percent. Instead of being sour 198 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 2: trying to get something from him that he can't give, 199 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 2: recognize that's who he is. Celebrate all his good qualities. 200 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 2: Go call a girlfriend and talk with them. That person 201 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 2: I'm describing as me, I talk a lot up here. 202 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 2: I love to laugh and have fun, but I'm not 203 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: one to sit around talk about my deepest feelings, find 204 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 2: out all the latest information. 205 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 3: My mind is more simple. 206 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 2: I have a friend that wrote his wife a poem 207 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 2: for Valentine's Day. 208 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 3: It was so romantic, it. 209 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 2: Rhymed, it was moving inspirational. I told him you didn't 210 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: do this, AI wrote this thing. 211 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 3: He said, no, it was me. 212 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 2: I have to remind Victoria all the time. You didn't 213 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 2: marry Romeo, you married Jolio. But some people, seriously, they 214 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: will leave the eighty percent that they're spouse doesn't have 215 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: and they'll find that twenty percent that they were looking 216 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 2: for in another person. The problem is this new person 217 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 2: is not going to have the twenty percent. They're lacking 218 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 2: something their spouse had. If you don't understand that nobody 219 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 2: has one hundred percent, you'll get frustrated comparing your friend's 220 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 2: situation to yours, and her spouse does this and that 221 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 2: and the other. They're telling you all of his strengths. 222 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 2: They're not telling you that he leaves his socks on 223 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 2: the floor every night and when he snores you can 224 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 2: hear it in Beaumont. They don't say anything about the 225 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 2: twenty percent that he's missing. You need to remember the 226 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 2: reason you fell in love, the joy, the laughter, the 227 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 2: great personality. 228 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 3: God has blessed you with that person as a gift. 229 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 2: It's easy to let petty things start to erode the 230 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 2: love and lessen respect, diminish the good qualities. 231 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 3: You need to reframe it. 232 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 2: Start seeing the blessing that your spouse is. Start complimenting them, 233 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: expressing your love, treating them like they're a gift from God. 234 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 2: When someone is good to your children, loving and kind, 235 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 2: and makes them feel valuable as a parent, you would 236 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 2: do anything for that person. They're taking care of your child, 237 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 2: your most precious possession. That's the way it is with God. 238 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 2: When you treat people with love and compassion and you 239 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 2: make them feel valuable, attractive, worthy, you are taking care 240 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 2: of God's greatest treasure. 241 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 3: You can be assured that God will take care of you. 242 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 2: The scripture says, husbands, if we don't treat our wives right, 243 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 2: then it will hinder our prayers. Makes a difference how 244 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 2: we treat people. We shouldn't be contentious, always wanting to argue, 245 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 2: having to be right or pity, making a big deal 246 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 2: out of little things, holding grudges, saying things we know 247 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 2: we shouldn't. When we mistreat people, were mistreating God's creation 248 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 2: many times. The root cause is we're focusing on the 249 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 2: twenty percent that we don't like. We're magnifying their negative qualities. 250 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 2: Reframe it, focus on the good. I know a couple 251 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 2: that lives in another state, and they were always complaining 252 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 2: about their. 253 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 3: House and how it was too small and they didn't 254 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 3: care for the neighbors. 255 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 2: Plus, this house was far from the city, took a 256 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: long time to drive to work. They wanted something closer 257 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 2: in It was a constant source of frustration. Year after year, 258 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: they weren't happy. Unfortunately, business went down and the husband 259 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 2: was laid off. The wife had to get a part 260 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 2: time job, and the husband kept looking for work, but 261 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 2: they didn't have the funds to make their house payment. 262 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 2: Things got tighter and tighter and looked like they. 263 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 3: Were going to lose their house, and they were very distraught. 264 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 2: Right when it was about to be foreclosed on, a 265 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 2: bank stepped in and allowed them to refinance and they 266 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 2: were able to save their house. 267 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 3: They were so happy. They called me like they had 268 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 3: won the lottery. Joel, God stepped in. Everything fell into place. 269 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 3: We don't have to move out. 270 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 2: This was the house they didn't like, the same place 271 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 2: they complained about for years. But when it was almost 272 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 2: taken away, they had a new perspective. 273 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 3: They loved that house. 274 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 2: They didn't see the burden of it being too far, 275 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: too small, unfriendly neighbors. They were going over to their 276 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 2: neighbors for dinner, the same neighbors they said were unfriendly. 277 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 3: Here's my point. 278 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 2: They had what they needed to be happy the whole time, 279 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 2: they just didn't see it. I wonder if there are 280 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 2: things that we're complaining about, things you don't like. 281 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 3: That are frustrating you. 282 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 2: Your job, your spouse, your child, But if it was 283 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 2: taken away, you would have a deal perspective. 284 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 3: Are you focused on the burden missing the blessing? Now? 285 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 2: I'm not saying to not dream and want to rise higher, 286 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: but while you're waiting for things to change. 287 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 3: Don't get sour and miss the beauty of this day. 288 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 2: Enjoy where you are while you're on the way to 289 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 2: where God is taking you. Too often, like this couple, 290 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 2: we're not gonna be happy until we get the new 291 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 2: job or that new car, get rid of this piece 292 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 2: of junker, that new relationship. 293 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 3: I can't be happy with my spouse. 294 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 2: But if you're putting off your happiness to a later 295 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 2: time till things fall into line, you get what you're 296 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 2: believing for, you're gonna miss years of your life not 297 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 2: being happy. 298 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 3: The truth is, you have what you need to be happy. 299 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 2: Right now, if you'll just reframe it, you don't need 300 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 2: a new job, a new spouse, a new car. 301 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 3: All you need is. 302 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 2: A new mindset, a new perspective, to learn to focus 303 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 2: on the eighty percent this good, and not the twenty 304 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: percent that's not. About a month ago, there was a 305 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 2: Tuesday where I scheduled a lot of things that I 306 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 2: didn't want to do. I had to go to a 307 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 2: clinic at seven o'clock and give blood for a health 308 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 2: check up. Ten o'clock, I had an eye doctor's appointment 309 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 2: that afternoon. I had to meet a contractor at the 310 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 2: house and run errands. All these things I'd been putting off, 311 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 2: none of which I was looking forward to, a couple 312 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 2: of weeks before. I started dreading that day, thought I 313 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,479 Speaker 2: don't want to be at the clinic at seven. I 314 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 2: want to get up and go through my normal routine. 315 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 2: When we dread things, we're making plans to have a 316 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 2: hard day. It's like we're using our faith but in 317 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 2: the wrong direction. Every time I thought about that Tuesday, 318 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 2: i'd feel more heaviness and more discouragement. About a week out, 319 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 2: I realized I was making myself miserable. 320 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 3: I'm focused on the burden. I got to do a 321 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 3: few things I don't want to do. 322 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 2: The blessing is I'm alive, I'm healthy, God, opportunity, beautiful family. 323 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 3: A sound mind had to reframe it. 324 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 2: I'd let the negative take over. I shifted my perspective 325 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 2: to I'm gonna have a great day that Tuesday. I'm 326 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 2: gonna enjoy that day. I made up my mind that 327 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 2: I was going to be a blessing to people wherever 328 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 2: I went. I was gonna lift someone's spirit, brighten their day, 329 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 2: encourage them. Every time I was tempted to dread it, 330 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 2: I thought, no, I'm on a mission. I'm gonna be 331 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 2: good to somebody that day. Sometimes the reason where sour 332 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 2: is we're only thinking of ourselves, my plans, my goals, 333 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 2: my problems, what I don't want to do. 334 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 3: We weren't created to be ingrown. I realized it's not 335 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 3: all about me. God is ordering my steps. 336 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 2: If He has me there, then I need to be 337 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,919 Speaker 2: there with a good attitude. I need to leave that 338 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 2: place better than it was before. 339 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 3: You think about. 340 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 2: How there are may be eight billion people on the earth, 341 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 2: but on an average day, you may come across a 342 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 2: dozen people that you interact with people at work, the clerk. 343 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 3: At the grocery store, the receptionist at the gem. It's 344 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 3: not thousands, it's just a handful. 345 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: Those are people God has ordained to come across your path. 346 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 3: It's not random. 347 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 2: God is divinely orchestrating where you are, and that's an 348 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:35,239 Speaker 2: opportunity to be a blessing, to brighten their day, to 349 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 2: lift their spirits. Maybe just a smile, a kind word, 350 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 2: a simple compliment, holding the door open for them, something 351 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 2: that leaves them better, makes them feel valuable, lets them 352 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 2: know that you care. See, we all have things that 353 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 2: we can dread, things we're not looking forward to. And 354 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 2: sometimes it's not simple things like me on that Tuesday 355 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 2: taking treatment. 356 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 3: For the cancer. 357 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 2: It's going through the legal battle, it's dealing with a 358 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 2: child that's off course. Yes, it's difficult, but you have 359 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,479 Speaker 2: to reframe it. You've been armed with strength for that battle. 360 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 2: God wouldn't have allowed it if it was going to 361 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 2: stop your destiny. Don't go in with the defeated mentality. 362 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 2: This is not fair. I'll never get through it. No, 363 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 2: be strong, be of good courage. The Lord your God 364 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 2: is with you. Dreading takes your strength, weakens your faith 365 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 2: sours your attitude. You have to see that challenge through 366 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 2: the right lens, the lens of faith, the lens of 367 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 2: no weapon formed against you will prosper, the lens of 368 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 2: what God started in your life. 369 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 3: He's going to finish. 370 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 2: It's interesting that David never called Goliath a giant. The 371 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 2: other men in the army described as stature. They ran 372 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 2: in fear when he came out and taunted them each morning. 373 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 2: David could have been intimidated God, I don't have a chance, 374 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 2: but he reframed it. He said, who is this uncircumcised 375 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 2: philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God. 376 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 2: He was saying, I'm not focused on how big he is. 377 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 2: I'm focused on how. 378 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 3: Big my God is. 379 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 2: The scripture says, do not be intimidated by your enemies. 380 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 3: When you face giants. You shouldn't go around talking. 381 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 2: About how big they are, how you'll never get wound, 382 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 2: never get out of debt, never meet the right person. 383 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 3: Quit calling your problems giants. 384 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 2: If you're making them bigger in your mind, it's making 385 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 2: you smaller. 386 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 3: Do like David, reframe it. In the natural. 387 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 2: It may look big, but God is supernatural. He's not 388 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 2: limited by what limits us. And this is where the 389 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 2: Israelites missed it. 390 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 3: They came to the Promised Land. 391 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 2: God had already told them it was theirs, but they 392 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 2: had to go in and take it. 393 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 3: So Moses sent twelve men to. 394 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 2: Spout the land. After forty days, ten came back said, 395 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 2: we don't have a chance. There are giants in the land. 396 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 2: We were in our own sites like grasshoppers. 397 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 3: Notice their lens can't do it. 398 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 2: People too big, We're like grasshoppers. There were two other spies, 399 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 2: Joshua and Caleb. They came back and says Moses, we 400 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 2: are well able. Yes, the people are big, but we 401 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 2: know our God is bigger. 402 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 3: Let us go in at once and take this land. 403 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 2: They saw the same people as the first ten spies, 404 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 2: same giants, same land. 405 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 3: But their perspective was just the opposite. 406 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 2: They were seeing through a different lens, a lens of faith. 407 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 2: Those first ten spies never did go into the Promised Land. 408 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 3: The only two from that whole. 409 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 2: Group were Joshua and Caleb. Makes the difference what lens 410 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 2: you're seeing things from. 411 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 3: Well. 412 00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 2: Years later, the Israelites made it to Jericho. Promised Land 413 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 2: was on the other side. Joshua was sent men to 414 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 2: spy off that land. A lady named Rayhab took the 415 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 2: spies in and hid them in her home, kept. 416 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 3: Them from being caught. 417 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 2: She said to the spies and Joshua too, we are 418 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 2: all afraid of you, living in terror, for we have 419 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 2: heard how the Lord your God has parted the Red Sea. 420 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 3: Our hearts have melted with fear. No one has the 421 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 3: courage to fight after. 422 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 2: Hearing those things. Here's what's amazing. Those original ten spies 423 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 2: felt like grasshoppers. But the truth is the opposition was 424 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,959 Speaker 2: afraid of them. They thought the Israelites were the giants. 425 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 3: But look at what the wrong perspective can do. 426 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 2: If you're seeing yourself small, limited, your problems too big, 427 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 2: that's going to keep you from your destiny. 428 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 3: If you knew the truth, the enemy is afraid of you, 429 00:23:59,160 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 3: you are powerful. 430 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 2: You have the spirit of the Most High God on 431 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 2: the inside, the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead, 432 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 2: the same spirit that opened blind eyes, shut the mouths 433 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 2: of lions wiped out one hundred and eighty five. 434 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 3: Thousand enemies in one moment. That's who you are. Now. 435 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 2: Get rid of that grasshopper lens, that defeated mentality. You 436 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 2: may have some giants reframe it. Greater is he that's 437 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 2: in you than. 438 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 3: What's trying to stop you. You're not a grasshopper, You're 439 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 3: a giant killer. You're a history maker. You are here 440 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 3: to take new ground. 441 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 2: To go where no one in your family has gone. 442 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 2: This is what I had to do when my father passed. 443 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 2: I saw myself as limited and reserved and too quiet, 444 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 2: and I thought, I can't pass to the church and 445 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 2: speak in front of people. 446 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 3: I don't have that ability. 447 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 2: I had to see myself through a different lens to 448 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 2: be open to think, maybe there's time talent in me 449 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 2: that I haven't seen. Maybe I'm stronger, more courageous, more 450 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 2: successful than I think I am. I was seeing myself 451 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 2: through a lens of limitation, a lens of not enough, 452 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 2: and I can't measure up to my father. 453 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 3: But none of that was true. 454 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 2: Like Rahab said about the ten Spies, we were afraid 455 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 2: of you. 456 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 3: We knew who you were. 457 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 2: The tragedy is the spies didn't know who they were. 458 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 2: Can I tell you the enemy knows who you are. 459 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 2: He knows you're a masterpiece, talented, strong, smart, valuable, a 460 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 2: history maker with seeds of greatness. 461 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 3: Destined to leave your mark. 462 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 2: My challenge is don't go through life and not know 463 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 2: who you are. I would not be up here if 464 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 2: I had not reframed it. I had to be open 465 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 2: to the fact that maybe I haven't seen all of 466 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 2: who I am. Maybe I've been looking through a distorted 467 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,479 Speaker 2: that's lessened who God made me to be. When I 468 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 2: changed the frame, I stepped into favor and purpose that 469 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 2: I never dreamed. Are there things that you need to 470 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,719 Speaker 2: reframe today? You're looking at how big the problem is 471 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 2: instead of. 472 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 3: Looking at how big our God is. 473 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 2: You're focused on the burden, missing the blessing, sour over 474 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 2: the twenty percent, missing the eighty percent. 475 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 3: Reframe it no more. I gotta go to work. Turn 476 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 3: it around. 477 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 2: Lord, Thank you that I get to go to work today. 478 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 2: I'm grateful to have breath to breathe. Don't miss another 479 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 2: day being sour. Learn to be happy where you are. 480 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 3: Find the good in each situation. 481 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 2: If you'll do this, I believe and declare, like David, 482 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 2: giants are about to come down. Supernatural breakthrough, supernatural favor, healing, 483 00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 2: provision the fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name, and 484 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 2: if you receive it, can you say Amen. Today, I'd 485 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,479 Speaker 2: like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the 486 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 2: Lord of your life. 487 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 3: Would you pray with me? 488 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 2: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 489 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 2: into my heart. I make you my Lord and Savior. 490 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 2: If you've prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 491 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 2: born again and we'd love to send you some free 492 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 2: information on your new walk with the Lord. 493 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 3: You can text the number on the screen or go 494 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 3: to the website. 495 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 2: But I hope you'll get into a good Bible based 496 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 2: church and keep God first place. It's easy in life 497 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 2: to wear labels, mistakes we've made and what people have said, 498 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 2: disappointments we face. Those labels can diminish our sense of 499 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 2: value and cause us to forget who we really are. 500 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 2: Have a new book called Made by God.
