1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for listening to the podcast. Twenty twenty

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 2: four is.

4
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: Going to be an amazing year for you and your

5
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: family though that we're praying for you.

6
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: So get ready, keep your expectations up. It's going to

7
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 2: be a great year.

8
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: Hope you enjoyed today's message.

9
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: Thank you Father that we're here and in your love. Amen.

10
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: So how's your outlook on life today? Do you get

11
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: up this morning ready to embrace the day? I believe

12
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 2: that you did. But you know, there's too many people

13
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: that allow their circumstance to dictate their attitude. They don't

14
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: even realize that their attitude is a choice that they

15
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 2: make every single day. See, the Bible tells us to

16
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: consistently and constantly put on this fresh new mental attitude. See,

17
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: we choose the way we see life. We can either

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: look at what it's good in life and decide to

19
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: be grateful about that, or we can look at what

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 2: didn't work out and how things didn't go our way

21
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: and allow it to give us a negative perspective on life.

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: We've all heard that saying the glass half full are

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: the glass half empty? You? See that saying is so

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: timeless because it makes such an amazing point. See, the

25
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: water in the glass is the same amount. It's just

26
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: how one chooses to see the water that makes all

27
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: the difference in the world. I know this girl that

28
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: kind of always had a bend towards negative. You could

29
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: ask her how you doing today, and it was almost funny.

30
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: You could predict she was going to start telling you

31
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: the things that were going wrong in her life. One day,

32
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: she said, oh, I was late to work. I had

33
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: to take my children to the doctor. The doctor didn't

34
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: open till nine o'clock. She said, Now I have to

35
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: stay late at the office because there's so much for

36
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: me to do. And you know, you're listening to this

37
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: and it almost makes you grin because you're thinking you're kidding.

38
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: Right then she goes on to say, my house is

39
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: a disaster when I get home late from work. My

40
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: husband doesn't know how to work the vacuum cleaner, he

41
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: doesn't know to how to work the dishwasher, on and on.

42
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: And you know, when you listen to this, you realize,

43
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: you know what, she's probably got a pretty good husband.

44
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: In fact, I know her husband, and he's a good man.

45
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: He has a good job he works hard, he loves

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 2: to take the kids out on Saturdays, and she can

47
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: have the whole house to herself. But instead of looking

48
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: at the richness in her life, she chooses to look

49
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: at the negative. And when you begin to focus on

50
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: the negative, you know what you see more negative. And

51
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 2: when you see this negative, it's like swimming against the current.

52
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: It's just a struggle. It's difficult and it's hard. I

53
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: believe that we need to learn how to manage our thoughts.

54
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: We need to learn how to rearrange our thoughts so

55
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: that we can literally see what we have and then

56
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: enjoy what we have. The other day, I walked past

57
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: one room in my house. It's my living room, and

58
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: sometimes when I go in there, I think I don't

59
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 2: like the way this room looks. In fact, I thought

60
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: I wish I could just get rid of all this

61
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: furniture and start over. That would be so amazing. I

62
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: all found myself walking by the past the room several times,

63
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: you know, as the days went on, and looking in

64
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: there and having just a really negative attitude towards that room,

65
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: almost like ugh. And then I realized, I'm not going

66
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: to be getting any new furniture anytime soon, so I

67
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: better just go in there and rearrange the furniture. So

68
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: I began shifting the furniture, putting towels under the legs

69
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: of the couch. How many of you women to pulling

70
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: that couch scooting everything around, you know. By the time

71
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: I finally finished, I stepped back and I looked at

72
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: that room and I thought, I like this room. This

73
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: looks really good. I went and got myself a cup

74
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: of tea, sat on the couch. I thought, I've never

75
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: seen that piece of furniture from that perspective. That really

76
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: looks good. The way that curves around there. You see,

77
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: I was able to have a fresh new attitude about

78
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: that room. I was able to see it differently because

79
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: I rearranged it. And just the way I rearranged my furniture,

80
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: we need to rearrange our thoughts. We need to push

81
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: our thoughts around so our thoughts don't push us around.

82
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 2: You know, when you get down and discouraged, you need

83
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,679
Speaker 2: to recognize what it is and you need to stop

84
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 2: and think what am I thinking about? And I think

85
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: oftentimes we need to rearrange our thoughts in simple ways. One,

86
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: we need to be grateful, but sometimes we just need

87
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: to change the atmosphere that we're in. Have you ever

88
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: been working in the office and you're tip and you think,

89
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: you know what, I just need a break. Maybe you

90
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: need to walk outside and begin to look at the

91
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: trees and the sunshine and the sky, and the buds

92
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,119
Speaker 2: on the flower, the texture of the bark, and begin

93
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: to just say, isn't that beautiful what God has created?

94
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 2: To just stop and think about something differently, you see.

95
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: I believe sometimes if we'll simply just change our routine,

96
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: maybe there's some things that we're doing that we need

97
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: to not be doing anymore. A friend of mine said

98
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: that every day she would go out to lunch with

99
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 2: the same group of people, and she loved her friends

100
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: and all, but when she got back to work, it

101
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: was just like, oh man, I've got half a day

102
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: to go. She made this conscious decision. She said, you know,

103
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: I don't like the way I'm feeling about my job.

104
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: How I'm just being so mundane about it. She said,

105
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 2: I'm going to choose a few new people to go

106
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 2: to lunch with. So she looked around her office and

107
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: she asked some different people to go to lunch with her.

108
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: In fact, she got a new little group, and she said,

109
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 2: I had so much fun just getting in a new

110
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: group of people, listening to their ideas, their jokes, the

111
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: way they were. She said. I came back to work

112
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: and she said, I had a new perspective. I was

113
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: ready to tackle that day. It was so refreshing. You see,

114
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 2: sometimes we just need to get a new outlook on

115
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 2: what we already have. I heard about this man who

116
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 2: was really down, he was really discouraged. He went to

117
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: one of his pastors at the church and he told him,

118
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 2: he said, my life is just I just don't have

119
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,799
Speaker 2: anything good going on. My life is just a wreck.

120
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: The pastor said, come on into my office and let's

121
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: just sit down and talk a little bit. The pastor

122
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: pulled out this legal pad of paper. He drew a

123
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 2: line down the center of it, and he said, let's

124
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: take this little test. He said, on the right side,

125
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to put all your assets, all the things

126
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: that are good in your life. On the left side,

127
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 2: I'm going to put your challenges, your problems, ointments. The

128
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: man just kind of hung his head and he said,

129
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not going to have anything right in

130
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 2: my life. The pastor said, let's just go ahead and

131
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: take the test. He said, you know, I am so

132
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: sorry to hear that your wife passed away. He looked

133
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: up and he said, my wife didn't pass away. She's

134
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: alive and she's healthy. He said, really, He wrote on

135
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: the right side of the page, wife alive and healthy.

136
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: He said, that's a shame that your house burnt down.

137
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: The man looked at him and he said, what are

138
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: you talking about. My house didn't burn down. I'm living

139
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: in my house. He said, oh, He wrote on the

140
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: right side of the page, living in a house. The

141
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: man said, where are you getting all this ridiculous information?

142
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: The pastor looked at him, and then he wised up,

143
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: and he realized he's trying to show me a new perspective,

144
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: a new way of thinking. By the time they finished

145
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: their little session, that man had listed several things on

146
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: the right side of the page that was right in

147
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: his life, and he left out of there with a

148
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: good attitude and a spring in his step. Amen, have

149
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: you ever heard that saying that says your attitude determines

150
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: your altitude? What that means is is there our attitudes

151
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: have a direct correlation with the success in our life.

152
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: Have you ever met somebody with just a good attitude.

153
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: They always saw the solutions and not the problems. They

154
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: felt like they could tackle anything. It makes you want

155
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 2: to just be around that person. See, your attitude can

156
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: determine your altitude. All of you know the story about

157
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: Joshua and Caleb. They were two of the twelve spies

158
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: that Moses picked to go into Canaan, which was the

159
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: promised land that God had promised the Israelites when they

160
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 2: left Egypt. And so Joshua and Caleb and ten other

161
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: spies were directed by Moses to go into Canaan and

162
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 2: to buy out the land, to see what the cities

163
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 2: were like, see what the people were like, look at

164
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: the vegetation. He even said, bring back some of the

165
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 2: vegetation so we can see what the soil is like

166
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: and what it's producing. So the twelve men went into

167
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: the land of Canaan. They were there for forty days.

168
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: They collected these huge grapes, they saw these amazing pomegranates,

169
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: they saw the people. They wandered around for forty days,

170
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: and when they got back to the camp, every one

171
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: of those men said, the land is rich. It is

172
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: indeed land that is flowing with milk and honey, just

173
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: like we have heard. But the difference was that ten

174
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: of those men took what they saw and they perceived

175
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 2: it different. They perceived it as it was great land.

176
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: It was flowing with milk and honey. But there are

177
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 2: giants in the land. Cities have huge walls around them.

178
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: We'll never be able to conquer those people because they're

179
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: way bigger than we are. In comparison to us. We

180
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: look like grasshoppers in our own site. They begin to

181
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: take what they perceived and spread it throughout the whole camp,

182
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: two million people. Can you imagine they just went in

183
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: and spread that. Well, when Joshua and Caleb said, we

184
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 2: saw the same thing, the land is good. It is

185
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 2: what God said it was. We need to go up

186
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 2: right now, and we need to take that land at once,

187
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 2: and if God is pleased with us, we'll be successful.

188
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 2: Ten spies saw the glass half empty, where two spies

189
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: saw the glass half full. It's amazing how your attitude

190
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 2: can affect what you see. Joshua and Caleb, although they

191
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: had a good report, that good report was not good

192
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: enough to diffuse the negative rumors that had spread throughout

193
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: all the people. It was so negative that the Bible

194
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: says they were crying and complaining and murmuring, saying, can

195
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 2: we just go back to Egypt? And do you know

196
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: the Lord told Moses, he said, every one of you

197
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 2: are going to go back to Egypt because of your

198
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: bad attitude. You're murmuring, you're complaining your perception of who

199
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 2: I am in your life. But the point of my story,

200
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: and the one that I really want us to see today,

201
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: is this that God gave Joshua and Caleb a second

202
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 2: chance to enter the Promised Land. The Bible says that

203
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: the forty days that those men were examining the Promised Land,

204
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 2: that's how long that the children at Israel were going

205
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 2: to wonder in the wilderness. One year for every day

206
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: they were going to wonder forty years in the wilderness. Now,

207
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: can I tell you the ones with the good report,

208
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 2: Joshua and Caleb, the ones with the attitude, if we

209
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: can take the land, They also had to wonder in

210
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: the wilderness for forty years. But the Bible says this

211
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: about them. They were of a different spirit. One version says,

212
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: an excellent spirit. So when it was their opportunity after

213
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: forty years to take the younger generation into the Promised Land.

214
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: This is what Caleb said. He said, listen, I'm stronger

215
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 2: and I'm more determined than ever to take this land.

216
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 2: When they thrived in the wilderness for forty years, the

217
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 2: rest of them died in the wilderness. Can I tell

218
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: you when you have a perception of who God is,

219
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 2: when you can look out over your situation and you

220
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: can have a good attitude, using what you have and

221
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 2: valuing what you have, you can make it through the

222
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: struggles of life. You can make it through the wilderness

223
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: moments better off and more determined than you ever thought

224
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: you were. When Joshua and Caleb were about to go in,

225
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: this is what they spoke to the younger generation. This

226
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: was their mantra, their leadership vision. They said, guys, I

227
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: can only imagine. He looked at all them and he said,

228
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 2: choose ye this day who you will serve. He was saying,

229
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 2: every day, choose your attitude. Every day you can choose

230
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: the way you see life. Choose today how you're gonna

231
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 2: see this journey into the Promised Land. And he said,

232
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: for me and my house, we're going to serve the Lord.

233
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 2: We're gonna choose to overlook a fence. We're gonna choose

234
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: to quiet the discouraging voices that we try to come

235
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 2: against us. We're going to choose to believe that God

236
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: is a big God, and we're going to hope on

237
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: in faith. You see. I believe when we take inventory

238
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: of our thoughts, we will be like Joshua and Caleb.

239
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: In fact, we'll outlast anything that the enemy is trying

240
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: to come against us with, and we'll go in and

241
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 2: we'll take the land that God has given us. Amen.

242
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: Hey man, He's an awesome God.

243
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 3: It's January.

244
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: Time to renew my faith. It's January. It's time to

245
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: start a new season.
