It's great to be with 50 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 4: you today, and I hope you'll stay connected with us 51 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 4: during the week through our daily podcast, our YouTube channel, 52 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 4: social media. We'll keep you encouraged and inspired. I like 53 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 4: to start with something funny. And one day Adam was 54 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 4: feeling very lonely. God said, Adam, I'm gonna make you 55 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 4: a companion. It's going to be called a woman. This 56 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 4: person will cook for you, wash your clothes. She will 57 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 4: bear your children, never ask you to get up in 58 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 4: the middle of the night. She will always agree with you. 59 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 4: If you do have a disagreement, she'll be the first 60 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 4: one to admit she was wrong. Adam said, wow, God, 61 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 4: what will a woman like this cost? God said an 62 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 4: arm and a leg. Adam said, what can I get 63 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 4: for a rib? And the rest is now? Come on? 64 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 4: All the men said, Amen, are you ready? This is 65 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 4: my Bible. I am what it says. I am, I 66 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 4: have what it says I have. I can do what 67 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 4: it says I can do. Today I will be taught 68 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 4: the word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, 69 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 4: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. 70 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 4: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk 71 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 4: to you today about dealing with negative thoughts. No matter 72 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 4: how good of a person you are, how much faith 73 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 4: you have, you'll never get to the place where negative 74 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 4: thoughts don't come. Discouraging thoughts. Your dream is never going 75 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 4: to come to pass. You'll never meet the right person 76 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 4: it would have happened by now. Thoughts of wordy, the 77 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 4: medical reports talk good. Your child is off course, business 78 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 4: is slowing down. What are you going to do? The 79 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 4: enemy's main tools are deception and lies. Mind is the 80 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 4: bullseye of his target. If he can control your thinking, 81 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 4: he can control your life. You can't stop negative thoughts 82 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 4: from coming. But here's the key. Just because the thought 83 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 4: comes doesn't mean you have to think it. You control 84 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 4: the doorway to your mind. You're in charge of what 85 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 4: you give access to. That's why the scripture tells us 86 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 4: to guard our minds. Be selective in what you allow in. 87 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 4: If the thought is negative, discouraging, bringing worry, fear, do 88 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 4: yourself a favor. Don't let it in. It's not complicated. 89 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 4: Don't dwell on it, don't give it the time of day. 90 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 4: But too often, when these negative thoughts come, we don't 91 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 4: think twice. We just allow them access go around. Worried, discouraged, intimidated. 92 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 4: Start paying attention to what you're dwelling on. When discouraging 93 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 4: thoughts come. Nothing good is in your future? How you even 94 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 4: have your hopes up? You're going to be disappointed again. 95 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 4: Before you dwell on that, before you let it take rude, 96 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 4: Ask yourself, where is this thought coming from. If it's 97 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 4: not positive, hopeful, encouraging, it's not from God. That's the 98 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 4: enemy doing what he does best, trying to plant negative seeds, 99 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 4: fearful seeds inferior seeds. God said here in Isaiah, if 100 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 4: you'll keep your mind stayed on me, I will keep 101 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 4: you in perfect peace. What is your mind stayed on? 102 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 4: What are you dwelling on throughout the day? Joel? Have 103 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 4: you watched the news? Interest rates going up, the recession, 104 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 4: the stock market. I'm worried. Those are all valid thoughts. 105 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 4: I'm not saying to deny reality. I'm saying be selective 106 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 4: in what you dwell on. The right approach is, yes, 107 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 4: there's a lot of uncertainty. I don't know how it's 108 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 4: all going to turn out. But God, I know you're 109 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,679 Speaker 4: my provider. Just as you take care of the birds 110 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 4: of the air, feed and clothe them, you're going to 111 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 4: take care of me. Steady, keeping your mind stayed on 112 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 4: your problems, stayed on the news, stay on doubt, stay 113 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 4: don worry, keep it stayed on what God promised you. 114 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 4: Here's a simple principle. When a negative thought comes, erase 115 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 4: it and replace it. It's not enough to just not think 116 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 4: negative because once you dismiss it, once you make that decision, 117 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 4: I'm not dwelling on that. I'm not letting that worry in. 118 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 4: That's good. The problem is it'll come back in a 119 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 4: few seconds. Once you erase the negative, replace it with 120 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 4: a positive thought. Don't leave your mind empty. The thought comes, 121 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 4: nothing goods in your future. Dismiss it, don't give it 122 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 4: the time of day. Then take the next step. Father, 123 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 4: you promised the path of the righteous. My path is 124 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 4: getting brighter and brighter. You said, my latter days will 125 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 4: be better than my former days. When the thoughts come, 126 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 4: it's problems too big, the op position too strong. You'll 127 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 4: never get past it. You can let that play and 128 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 4: live defeated, discouraged, intimidated. Or you can replace it with 129 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 4: what God says. Father, you said, when the enemy comes 130 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 4: against me one way, you would defeat them and cause 131 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 4: them to flee seven different ways. And yes, this may 132 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 4: be too big for me, but I know it's not 133 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 4: too big for you. Or how about when these never 134 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 4: lies come, lies that tell you you'll never get well, 135 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 4: never meet the right person, never get out of debt. 136 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 4: Don't let that play in your mind. If you do, 137 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 4: you're defeating yourself. That's keeping you from seeing God's favor. 138 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 4: Erase it. That's the first step. Now dwelling on that anymore, 139 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 4: then take the next step and replace it. Father, thank 140 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 4: you that what you started in my life you will finish. 141 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 4: What I'm up against is not permanent. I know this 142 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 4: too shall pass. Breakthroughs are coming, healing is coming, freedom 143 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 4: is coming, Victory is coming. Get your mind going in 144 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 4: the right direction, and your life will go in the 145 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 4: right direction. You're going to draw in what you're constantly 146 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 4: thinking about. If you're thinking can't do it, thoughts, I'm 147 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 4: not enough, this problem's too big. You're drawing in defeat. 148 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 4: That's making you weaker. Your gifts are being pushed down, 149 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 4: Your faith is being diminished. Why don't you try it 150 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 4: erasing and replacing. How much further will you go? How 151 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 4: much happier will you live? How much more of God's 152 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 4: favor will you see? If you'll guard your mind, if 153 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 4: you'll be selective in what you're dwelling on, if you'll 154 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 4: keep it stayed on him. Joshua will put it this way, 155 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 4: if you will meditate on God's word, you will prosper 156 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 4: and have good success. Meditate means to think about over 157 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 4: and over. Really, worry is meditating. It's letting the negative 158 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 4: play again and again. Some people have this principle down. 159 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 4: They're professional worriers. The problem is they're meditating on the 160 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 4: wrong things. They're letting the negative continually plain. Why don't 161 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 4: you switch what you're meditating on. It doesn't take any 162 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 4: more energy to believe that it does to worry this, 163 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 4: one small tweak can make a life changing difference. Instead 164 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 4: of going through the day worried about your future, wondering 165 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 4: how you're going to make it a small tweak. Father, 166 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 4: thank you that you have me in the palm of 167 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 4: your hand. I know you're ordering my steps. You said 168 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 4: no good thing. Will you withhold because I walk up 169 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 4: rightly now. Instead of your thoughts defeating you, draining your energy, 170 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 4: limiting your future, You're using your thoughts to encourage you, 171 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 4: to empower you to build your faith. Joel, I'm worried 172 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 4: about my child. He's off course, running with the wrong crowd. 173 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 4: That's why I can't sleep at night. That's why I'm upset. 174 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 4: And I know that's difficult. I know how much you 175 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 4: love your children, But worrying is not making it better. 176 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 4: Living stressed is not helping him or you. The reason 177 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 4: you don't have peace is your mind is stayed on 178 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 4: the problem. Your mind is stayed on what's not working out. 179 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 4: God said, if you'll make a switch, if you'll keep 180 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 4: your mind stayed on me, if you'll think positive, hopeful, 181 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 4: faithful thoughts, then I'll give you peace in the midst 182 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 4: of the problem. Instead of dwelling on all the negative 183 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 4: what might happen. Why don't you use that same energy 184 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 4: to meditate on what God promised you. Father, you said, 185 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 4: my children are mighty in the land. You said, the 186 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 4: seed of the righteous is blessed. That as for me 187 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 4: and my house, we will serve the Lord. Negative thoughts 188 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 4: are going to come. But if you'll learn this principle 189 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 4: to erase and replace, you won't give into the worry, 190 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 4: the fear, the discouragement. You wake up in the morning 191 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 4: thoughts sometimes whisper it's going to be a lousy day. 192 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 4: Have so many problems. I don't feel like dealing with 193 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 4: these children. You can either dwell on that, believe that 194 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 4: it's true. You'll go around discouraged. It'll become a reality, 195 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 4: you'll have a lousy day. But a better approach is 196 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 4: to say no, thanks. I'm not going to dwell on 197 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 4: those discouraging thoughts. They came to my mind, but I 198 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 4: know I control the doorway. I don't have to allow 199 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 4: them in. I'm going to erase them and replace them 200 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 4: with some better thoughts. This is going to be a 201 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 4: great day. Father. Thank you that I'm alive. Thank you 202 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 4: that you woke me up this morning. Thank you that 203 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 4: I'm healthy. Thank you that you have a bright future 204 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 4: in store for me. What's playing in your mind? What 205 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 4: are you giving access to? Paul said in Philippians, think 206 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 4: on things that are positive, things that are wholesome, things 207 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 4: that are of a good report. You can't think and 208 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 4: have a positive life. You can't think sickness and get well. 209 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 4: You can't think lack and have abundance. The battle is 210 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 4: taking place in our mind. Be selective of what you 211 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 4: allow in. Imagine someone showed up at your house, knocked 212 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 4: on your front door. You opened it and there was 213 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 4: this stranger. He was carrying an axe, a hammer, a rifle, 214 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,599 Speaker 4: a bag of poison, all these harmful, dangerous things. You 215 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 4: wouldn't say, hey, come on in, make yourself at home. 216 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 4: Good to see it, got some food in the fridge. 217 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 4: You wouldn't think twice. You would tell him you are 218 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 4: not welcome here. You need to get off my property. 219 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 4: You would shut the door dead, boult it, make sure 220 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 4: that he left. Well. Your mind is your house. It's 221 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 4: where you live. There's nothing more valuable, more important, more sacred. 222 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,599 Speaker 4: Why are you letting destructive thoughts in? Why are you 223 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 4: letting fear roam around? Why are you letting worry have 224 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 4: free reign? Why are you allowing doubt? You can't do it. 225 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 4: It's never going to work out. To have a seat 226 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 4: on your couch, that's your property. You have complete control 227 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 4: over what you let in. No, you can't stop it 228 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 4: from coming. It may knock on the door, but you 229 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 4: don't have to give it access. Next time's fear knocks, 230 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 4: you never get well. You saw the report. This sickness 231 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 4: is the end. Why don't you say no, thanks, You're 232 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 4: not welcome here. I will live and not die. God 233 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 4: is restoring health back unto me. When fear knocks, let 234 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 4: faith answer it. Next time doubt shows up, Man, it's 235 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 4: too big. It's never going to work out. You don't 236 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 4: have the connections. Just say sorry, doubt. You have the 237 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 4: wrong address. There's no place for you here when insecurity 238 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 4: comes knocking. You're not good enough, You're not attractive, you 239 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 4: don't have a good personality. Nobody wants to be around you. 240 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 4: Don't you dare let those thoughts in. You're at it? 241 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 4: Who should be get off my property? You're not welcome here. 242 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 4: I know who I am. I'm a masterpiece. I'm one 243 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 4: of a kind. I'm made in the image of God. 244 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 4: I'm crowned with favor. I'm wearing a robe of righteousness. 245 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 4: I have been fearfully and wonderfully made. Start closing the 246 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 4: door to the negative. Close the door to these destructive, limiting, 247 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 4: defeating thoughts. But sometimes we believe them so long they 248 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 4: become a part of who we are. We didn't know 249 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 4: any better. It's how we were raised. We opened the door, 250 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 4: and now it's like they've taken up residents. They have 251 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 4: their own room. Imagine Fear, worry, doubt, insecurity living in 252 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 4: your house, dragging you down, stealing your joy, taking your peace. 253 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 4: That may be the way it's been, but this is 254 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 4: going to be a new day. It's time to do 255 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 4: some house cleaning. You need to evict some tenants that 256 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 4: have been living in your mind. The good news is 257 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 4: you're in charge. They may seem bigger, stronger, more powerful, 258 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 4: but you determine what stays in your mind. You need 259 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 4: to tell Fear you're evicted. You're not welcome here anymore. 260 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 4: I'm not living afraid of what might happen. My future 261 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 4: is in God's hands. Nothing can stand against him. You 262 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 4: need to tell Worry you've been with me long enough. Sorry, 263 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 4: you've lost your lease. Tell Doubt your time is up. 264 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 4: Got some new rules you have to go. Tell Insecurity, sorry, 265 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 4: no more place for you. You're out of here. See you, 266 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 4: I'm not going to be you all that negative that's 267 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 4: weighing you down, limited in your future? Why don't you 268 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 4: serve some eviction notices. Keep your mind positive, hopeful, full 269 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 4: of faith, expecting good things, believing to overcome, trusting God 270 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 4: to do what only he can do. Here's what I've learned. 271 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 4: When your mind is filled with the positive, there's no 272 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 4: room for the negative. When you're full of faith, praise, gratitude, 273 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 4: believing for the best. When the negative comes, you don't 274 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 4: even answer the door. You don't pay it any attention. 275 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 4: Fear knocks, but there's a no vacancy sign. Can't they 276 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 4: hear me? No, this mind is full of faith. Complaining knocks, discouragement. Sorry, 277 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 4: no vacancy. This mind is full of praise. Father, Thank 278 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 4: you for what you've done. Thank you for fighting my battles. 279 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 4: Thank you for surrounding me with your favor. When worry comes, 280 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 4: what about these gas prices? Did you see the news? Inflation? Recession? Sorry, 281 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 4: no vacancy, Father, Thank you that you're Jehovah, Jairah, the 282 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 4: Lord by provider. The economy is not my source, God, 283 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 4: You're my source. I know I'm connected to a supply 284 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 4: line that will never run dry. This is not just 285 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 4: being positive, This is releasing your faith. This is what 286 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 4: allows God to do awesome things. When your mind has 287 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 4: stayed on him. You're going to have peace in the 288 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 4: middle of a pandemic, favor in the famine, strengthen the 289 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 4: storm going up when you should be going down. What's 290 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 4: playing in your mind? Are there some tenants you need 291 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 4: to event Are there destructive, discouraging thoughts that you need 292 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 4: to stop allowing in. That's what my mother had to do. 293 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 4: You know her story. She was diagnosed with terminal liver 294 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 4: cancer in nineteen eighty one, given a few weeks to live. 295 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 4: She was only forty six years old. She had been 296 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 4: perfectly healthy, always active, working in the yard, pastoring the church, 297 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 4: with my father, traveling the world. Suddenly she gets this 298 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 4: terrible news. She became so frail, she weighed eighty nine pounds, 299 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 4: her skin was very yellow. The doctor said there was 300 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 4: nothing more they could do. You can imagine the thoughts 301 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 4: that came knocking at her door. This is it, man, 302 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 4: You're done. Make plans for your funeral. The middle of 303 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 4: the night, when she couldn't sleep, the thought came, you 304 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 4: can be buried in that new pink dress that you 305 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 4: just bought. My mother had good reasons to feel worried, afraid, hopeless, 306 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 4: but she understood this principle. When fear knocked, she didn't 307 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 4: let it in. When worry knocked, it's over. Quit believing. 308 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 4: She said, you're not welcome here. When doubt knocked, you 309 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 4: heard the report. They're the best doctors in the world. 310 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 4: There's nothing more they can do. She said, no, thanks, 311 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 4: there's no room for you in my thinking. She guarded 312 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 4: her mind. She was extremely selective of what she allowed in. 313 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 4: She knew she was in a fight. She wasn't about 314 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 4: to give her valuable real estate her mind any room 315 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 4: for negative, discouraging, defeating thoughts. When you're in a battle, 316 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 4: when forces are coming against you in a great way, 317 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 4: that's when you'll be the most tempted to believe the lies, 318 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 4: get discouraged. It's never going to work out. Just accept it. 319 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 4: More than ever. You need to close the door. Don't 320 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 4: give those lives access. You need all your energy to believe, 321 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 4: to stay strong, to have faith, to overcome what's trying 322 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 4: to stop you. Be diligent. The scripture says give no 323 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 4: place to the enemy. That means don't give him any 324 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 4: rooms in your house. Don't give him any place in 325 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 4: your thinking. My mother didn't just erase the negative thoughts, 326 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 4: but she replaced them with God's word. The best defense 327 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 4: is a good offense. She kept her mind filled with 328 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 4: God's promises all through the day. I would hear her 329 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 4: quoting scripture, I will live and not die. God is 330 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 4: restoring health back into me. With long life, he will 331 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 4: satisfy me. If you leave your mind empty, it's going 332 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 4: to naturally gravitate toward the negative, especially when you in 333 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 4: difficult times. That's when you need to be very disciplined 334 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 4: in what you allow in and on purpose think thoughts 335 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 4: of hope, faith, healing, victory. A friend of mine was 336 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 4: diagnosed with cancer, and he was a professional football player, 337 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 4: and he had to stop playing to take the treatment. 338 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 4: He could have been discouraged, given up on his dreams, 339 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 4: but his attitude was this illness is not going to 340 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 4: defeat me. It's just a bump in the road. I 341 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 4: will play football again. I will accomplish my God given dreams. 342 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 4: He was so disciplined to guard his mind. He wouldn't 343 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 4: let anyone use the word cancer in his house. He 344 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 4: told his family, his friends, even as doctors, he didn't 345 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 4: want them speaking that word over him. He didn't want 346 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 4: it down in his spirit. Even when he was taking 347 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 4: chemo the whole time. Father, thank you that I am healed, 348 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 4: that this too shall pass. That greater is he that's 349 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 4: in me than what's trying to stop me. Two years later, 350 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 4: against all odds, he was back in the league, playing 351 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 4: professional football. Thoughts told him all the reasons it would 352 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 4: never happen, but he didn't answer the door. He gave 353 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 4: no place to the enemy. Don't let those lives take root, 354 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 4: don't give them access by believing them, dwelling what God 355 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 4: says about you. My mother kept doing This didn't happen overnight, 356 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 4: but little by little she got better and better. Medical 357 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 4: science even tells us that when people are positive, hopeful, 358 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 4: they believe they'll get well, they're much more likely to 359 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 4: recover than those who are negative and discourage. My mother 360 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 4: is eighty eight years old today, healthy, whole, strong, from 361 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 4: a few weeks to live to forty two years later. 362 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 4: God has the final say, why don't you get in 363 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 4: agreement with him? Won't let those lives play in your mind? 364 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 4: Start erasing them and didn't take the next step replace 365 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 4: them with faith filled, favor filled, victorious thoughts. Here's another key. 366 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 4: You're moving toward what you're constantly thinking about this can 367 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 4: be helpful or it can be harmful. What are you 368 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 4: thinking about your future, Joel? I never get any good breaks. Men. 369 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 4: This pandemic has set me back, and I wish I 370 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 4: had more talent. You're moving toward defeat, lack, mediocrity. Try 371 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 4: a new approach. Favor is in my future. Good breaks 372 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 4: are chasing me down. The right people are headed my way. Father, 373 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 4: Thank you that the best part of my life is 374 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 4: still in front of me. When you think like that, 375 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 4: you're moving toward favor, increase, open doors, abundance. What do 376 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 4: you think about your health? I've had this addiction for years. 377 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 4: Everyone in my family struggles with depression. I'll never get 378 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 4: back in shape. That's moving you in the wrong direction. 379 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 4: Chain starts in your thinking. How about this approach. This 380 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 4: addiction is not permanent. Chains that have held me back 381 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 4: are being broken. I am free, I am whole, I 382 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 4: am healthy, I am in shape, I am attractive, I 383 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 4: am full of energy, vitality and strength. My youth is 384 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 4: being renewed like the eagles. Get your mind going in 385 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 4: the right direction. Your life is going to follow your thoughts. 386 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 4: Scripture says in colostions. Set your mind and keep it 387 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 4: set at the start of the day. You need to 388 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 4: set your mind when you get out of bed. Father, 389 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 4: thank you for the gift of this day, so another 390 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 4: day you've made. I'm gonna choose to be happy. I'm 391 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 4: going to see the best. I'm going to be a 392 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 4: blessing to others. I'm going to live this day to 393 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 4: the full. If you don't set your mind, the enemy 394 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 4: will set it for you. You'll wake up and think 395 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 4: about all your problems, everything you've done wrong. I'll never 396 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 4: break this addiction. I should have eaten better yesterday. I 397 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 4: can't believe that coworker was rude to me. Don't start 398 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 4: the day off negative. Don't bring yesterday's trouble, yesterday's disappointment, 399 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 4: yesterday's failures into the day. Start the day afresh and 400 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 4: a new The Psalm has said God's mercies are new 401 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 4: every morning, not every afternoon, not every evening. Each morning, 402 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 4: receive the new mercy. How you start the day, many 403 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 4: times will determine what kind of day it's going to be. 404 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 4: Don't ever start the day in neutral. Don't wait to 405 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 4: see what kind of day it's going to be. Determine 406 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 4: what kind of day it's going to be make up 407 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 4: your mind. This is going to be a great day. 408 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 4: I'm gonna be productive today. I'm gonna enjoy my family. 409 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,959 Speaker 4: I'm going to honor God. I'm grateful to be alive. 410 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 4: That's setting your mind, that's making plans for a blessed day. 411 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 4: Goes on to say keep it set. That implies things 412 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 4: are going to have up and that will try to 413 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 4: unset it. Challenges, delays, people that are rude, doors that close. 414 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 4: You can't stop that from happening, but you can choose 415 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 4: to not let it get on the inside when worry comes. Now, 416 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 4: my mind is set. God is set on the throne. 417 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 4: He's in control of my life. When a fence comes, 418 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 4: you can get upset, live bitter. No, God is my vindicator. 419 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 4: He's fighting my battles. Contract didn't go through, you didn't 420 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 4: get the position. You could be down disappointed, But your 421 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 4: mind is set. God. I trust you. I know you 422 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 4: wouldn't have closed this door unless you had something better 423 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 4: in store. Don't let the challenges during the day unset 424 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 4: your mind. Keep it set, keep it stayed on Him, 425 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 4: keep it full of praise, keep expecting good things, keep 426 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 4: believing for what God promised you. I talked to a 427 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 4: man that was moving to Houston from another city, and 428 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,479 Speaker 4: he got a promotion that he'd been believing for for 429 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 4: a long time. Was a dream come true. They had 430 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 4: to sell their house before they could buy a house here. 431 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 4: The problem was the real estate market in their city 432 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 4: was very depressed. Hardly anything was selling on his street 433 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 4: along there were four houses for sale, many more in 434 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 4: the neighborhood. Thoughts came telling them all the reasons why 435 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 4: their house wouldn't sell. The job wouldn't work out, market 436 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 4: saw too much inventory. This isn't the right time. They 437 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 4: were tempted to get discouraged, not think that could happened, 438 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 4: but they understood this principle. When doubt not, they said, no, thanks, 439 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 4: you're not welcome here. Thoughts of worry came. What if 440 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 4: it doesn't work out? What if you missed this great opportunity? 441 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 4: What if you can't move? They said, sorry, worry, you 442 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 4: don't belong here. We don't have space for you. They 443 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 4: kept their mind filled with faith. Father, we know you 444 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 4: can make a way where we don't see away. Thank 445 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 4: you Lord, that you're cause in our property to stand out, 446 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 4: that your fever surrounds us like a shield. Real estate 447 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 4: agent told them on average it was taken over a 448 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 4: year for properties to sell. To not get their hopes up. 449 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 4: All the facts said it would be months and months, 450 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 4: But two weeks after they put the house on the 451 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 4: market is sold for full price. They met with the 452 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 4: new owners and asked why they chose their house out 453 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 4: of all the others. They said, we looked at over 454 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 4: thirty properties, but when we walked in yours, something just 455 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 4: felt right. We knew it was supposed to be ours. 456 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 4: God knows how to bring the right people to you. 457 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,679 Speaker 4: He knows how to open doors you can't open. He 458 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 4: knows how to turn your child around, how to free 459 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 4: you from that addiction. Don't believe those lies that it's 460 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 4: not going to happen. It's too late, The odds are 461 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 4: against you. Just say no, thanks, You're not welcome here. 462 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 4: I'm going to keep my mind stayed on him. Are 463 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 4: your thoughts limiting you? Are your thoughts empowering you? Are 464 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 4: you thinking thoughts of defeat, worry, can't do it? Or 465 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 4: are you thinking thoughts of victory, favor, breakthroughs, abundance. There's 466 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 4: a battle taking place in your thinking. I'm asking you 467 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 4: to start closing the door to the negative. You control 468 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 4: the access. Be selective. Don't just let anything in wrong 469 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 4: thinking will keep you from your destiny. Start erasing and replacing. 470 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 4: Erase the negative, don't give it the time of day. 471 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 4: Replace it with God's word, with positive, faith filled thoughts. 472 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 4: If you'll do this, I believe and declare, because your 473 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 4: mind is stayed on him, You're going to have more peace, 474 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 4: more joy, more favor. Forces that have held you back 475 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 4: are being broken right now. You're about to rise higher, 476 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 4: accomplish dreams, and go further than you've imagined. I declare 477 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 4: it in the name of Jesus, and if you receive it, 478 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 4: can you say amen? I'd like to give you an 479 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 4: opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of your life. Would 480 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 4: you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent 481 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 4: of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll make you 482 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 4: my Lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, 483 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 4: we believe you got born again. We'd love to send 484 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 4: you some free information on your new walk with the Lord. 485 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,479 Speaker 4: You can text the number, go to the website.
