I hope you enjoy this message. I want 38 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 4: to remind us all today to not be complainers and 39 00:01:54,760 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 4: fault finders. Ah man, Really, we don't need to be 40 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 4: complainers and fault finders. See, it's easy to see what's 41 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 4: wrong in a situation. It's easy to see what could 42 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 4: be done better. You know, naturally we tend to look 43 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 4: at the negative. Just our natural minds tend to always 44 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 4: gravitate to the negative, and it causes us to find fault. 45 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 4: But we don't want to be complainers and fault finders 46 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 4: because we know that it doesn't please God. You know 47 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 4: we're all guilty of this. I'll be the first one 48 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 4: to raise my hand. Okay, because sometimes it feels good 49 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 4: to complain. You get it off your chest. You're just venting. 50 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 4: It feels good. Why do we complain? That's one reason 51 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 4: it feels kind of good sometime. Okay, let's just get 52 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 4: real about it. We've all thought, all right, just get 53 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 4: it off my chest and then I'll be okay. Or 54 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 4: we think, or I think sometimes if I complain, I 55 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,399 Speaker 4: can change the situation. I'll go to Joel and I'll 56 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 4: tell him why this isn't right and why we shouldn't 57 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 4: do it this way, because I think I'm going to 58 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,399 Speaker 4: change the situation right. But you don't change a situation 59 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 4: by complaining, by finding fault, you usually make the situation worse. 60 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 4: Like I said, we can all think these thoughts of 61 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 4: how we could do it better, but we've got to 62 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 4: learn that we don't have to give life to these thoughts. 63 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 4: You see, when we give life to these negative thoughts, 64 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 4: we create a more negative environment. We not only pollute 65 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 4: ourselves with this negative environment, but we pollute other people. 66 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 4: We cause them to begin to think negative thoughts. It's 67 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 4: as if it can spread if we're not careful. No 68 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 4: one wants to be around I come plainer. No one 69 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 4: wants to be around a fault finder. We don't either, 70 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 4: So let's watch what we're saying. Even though it may 71 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 4: feel good for a time, have we ever stopped step 72 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 4: back and thought, but is it doing us any good? 73 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 4: Is it really doing us any good? You see, I 74 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 4: was reading this study and I thought it was very interesting, 75 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 4: and these researchers were talking about the brain and the 76 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 4: effects of the on the brain when we complain, and 77 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 4: it says that when we complain, we literally rewire our 78 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 4: brain to complain. You see, our brain wants to take 79 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 4: the path of least resistance, It wants to take the 80 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 4: easy way out, so it wants to repeat a pattern. 81 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 4: So when you complain, you learn to complain more. You're 82 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 4: wiring in this negative pattern. And so really, what the 83 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 4: researchers were saying is we're training our own brains to complain. 84 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 4: I don't want to be a complainer. I want to 85 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 4: be a person that has faith and hope. Yes, we're 86 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 4: all gonna have the opportunity to complain because there's no 87 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 4: perfect person, there's no perfect spouse, there's no perfect job. 88 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 4: Life is imperfect. So we're not gonna get rid of 89 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 4: the fact that there is opportunities to complain. But I 90 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 4: want to suggest to us today to be smarter than 91 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 4: a complainer and to figure out a way to be 92 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 4: the solution to the problem, to not just complain about 93 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 4: the problem. To find a way to act properly when 94 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 4: you feel negative. And the first way is not to 95 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 4: train your brain to complain. Now, the scripture is full 96 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 4: of stories, and the scripture says that these stories are 97 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 4: placed here so that we can learn, so that we 98 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 4: can learn valuable lessons for our own life. So I 99 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 4: want to quickly take us back to the Israelites. When 100 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 4: God brought them out of Egypt, he led them out 101 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 4: by a man named Moses. We know this story. They 102 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 4: were led out of captivity by a leader named Moses, 103 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 4: and he did it by God's command. He was able 104 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 4: to do it because God said, I am taking my 105 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 4: people to a land that is rich with milk and honey. 106 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 4: He called it the Promised Land. Now, they had been 107 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 4: quickly captive under the barbaric hand of Pharoh. They had 108 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 4: been mistreated and God says, enough is enough. I'm taking 109 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 4: my people out now. If you been mistreated, sometimes you 110 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 4: come out very with a victim mentality. But God wanted 111 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 4: to reverse this victim mentality. So you know what he 112 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 4: had the Egyptians do. Pharaoh and those people. He had 113 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 4: them pour the wealth on the Israelites. So when they 114 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 4: left Egypt, they didn't leave with nothing. They left with 115 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 4: gold and silver and cattle. They left well equipped. They 116 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 4: left with the mindset of oh wow, this is God, 117 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 4: because only God could do that. They got to the 118 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 4: Red Sea, and God parted the Red Sea. They walked 119 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 4: through on dry land. They were on their way to 120 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 4: the Promised Land. But as they got on their way, 121 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 4: guess what they started some see in some things that 122 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 4: could be done better. They began to look at Moses 123 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 4: and think, Moses, really, I can do this better. They 124 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 4: began to look at Air and in question their leadership. 125 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 4: They began to complain and mumble and grumble. You see, 126 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 4: they begin to complain about their food and their water, 127 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 4: and their enemies. But you know, it's really interesting in 128 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 4: Deuteronomy one two, this is what it says. It says 129 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 4: when God was taking them to the Promised land he 130 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 4: had already ordained to get them there. It was an 131 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 4: eleven day journey, you see. They left with more than 132 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 4: enough to get there in eleven days, but it took 133 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 4: them forty years. Forty years. Was it Moses that stopped him? 134 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 4: Was it their enemies that stopped them? Was it the 135 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 4: fact that they didn't have the right food that stopped them? No, 136 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 4: what they thought was their enemies, the things they were 137 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 4: complaining about, the things that they were blaming and pointing 138 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 4: the finger out, wasn't their enemy at all. Their number 139 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 4: one enemy was their own murmuring and complaining. Have you 140 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 4: ever thought that your own murmuring and complaining could limit 141 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 4: your thinking, could literally stop you from going to the 142 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 4: next level. Have you ever thought how unhealthy it really is? 143 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 5: See? 144 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 4: I think if the Israelites could have read the research 145 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 4: that I read, they would have said, oh, my gosh, 146 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 4: I'm training my own brain to complain, and that complaining 147 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 4: is enemy number one. Enemy number one. I want to 148 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 4: encourage us today. If we can train our brain to complain, 149 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 4: we can train our brain to see God and how 150 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 4: he can work in a situation. We can literally train 151 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 4: our brain to believe that God can do something you know, 152 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 4: God is taking us all somewhere, And can I tell 153 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 4: you right now, you have everything you need right now 154 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 4: to get to where God's taking you. If God is 155 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 4: leading you, nothing can stop you. You see, that's where 156 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 4: the Israelites missed it. They were looking at the things, 157 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 4: the circumstances around them. They forgot to look to their God. 158 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 6: It's easy to blame, it's easy to see out of 159 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 6: these eyes, but we've got to begin to see out 160 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 6: of our supernatural eyes the things unseen, the hand of 161 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 6: God behind the seas, that's fighting our battles for us, 162 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 6: and keep our mouths closed. 163 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 4: Until we get there. You see, they complained about mana. 164 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 4: Manna was the bread that came down from heaven that 165 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 4: God provided for them every single day. Now, granted, they 166 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 4: had this manna every single day, and they tired of 167 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 4: the mana. Have you ever got tired of something? Every day? 168 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 4: I go to work every day, I clean this house 169 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 4: every day, I pick up my husband's socks. You see, 170 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 4: they tired of this manna. So they begin to grumble 171 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 4: and complain about this manna. And it's so interesting that 172 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 4: that just took fire in the whole camp. So they 173 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 4: all started grumbling and complaining. And when you grumble and complain, 174 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 4: you know what happens. Attitudes come up out of you 175 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 4: that are not pleasing to God. In fact, grumbling and 176 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 4: complaining can literally change our perspective. They started thinking about 177 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 4: the food they used to eat, the onions and the 178 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 4: leeks and the garlic. They begin to take their mind 179 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 4: back to what they used to eat in captivity so 180 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 4: much that that food became more important than their freedom. 181 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 4: That food became more important than their freedom. Instead of 182 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 4: going to that manna every day and saying, God, I'm 183 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 4: gonna eat this. You know you change it. But I 184 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 4: am grateful that I am free. I am grateful that 185 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 4: you are taking me somewhere. See, sometimes we all want 186 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 4: something bigger, We want to go to the next level, 187 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 4: but we don't want to do what it takes to 188 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 4: get to that next level. Yeah, I want a job promotion. 189 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 4: I want this job promotion now. I don't want to 190 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 4: work any extra hours. Man, if I could have a husband, 191 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 4: my life would be complete. I am waiting for my man. 192 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 4: I certainly don't want to cook for him. Though. We 193 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 4: want things, but we don't want what it takes to 194 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 4: have those things. And this was their dilemma. They wanted 195 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 4: out of captivity. God says, I'm taking you somewhere, but 196 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 4: they didn't want to face the trials until they got there. Listen, 197 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 4: if you don't like what's going on in your life, 198 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 4: change is coming. Change is coming. Change is coming. Change 199 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 4: is coming. But you're not gonna find it by complaining 200 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 4: and grumbling. You're gonna find it by staying the course, 201 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 4: by being grateful. See, complaining finds the worst in the situation, 202 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 4: not the best. If you can train your mind to complain, 203 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 4: you can train your mind to find the best. Listen 204 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 4: to what it says in Philippians two fourteen. This is 205 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 4: kind of the antidote for seeing the negative and figuring 206 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 4: out what to do with it. You can see it's 207 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 4: gonna get in there, but what are you gonna do 208 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 4: with it? Don't give it life, don't spread it, don't 209 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 4: ruin relationships, don't stop your destiny. Figure out what to 210 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 4: do with it before you let it out. And this 211 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 4: is what God is saying. First of all, he's commanding 212 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 4: us do all things without grumbling, finding fault and complaining. 213 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 4: All right, so there's one thing I can recognize. I'm 214 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 4: not supposed to let it out. What am I supposed 215 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 4: to do with it? 216 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 7: God? 217 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm only human, right, he says a little 218 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 4: later in Philippians four or five, he says, pray, Hey, 219 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 4: if you've got a complaint, if you see something wrong, 220 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 4: pray and ask God about it. Pray and ask God 221 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 4: about it. That's what you do with it. And then 222 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 4: it says, with thanksgiving in your heart. Can you imagine 223 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 4: if they would have said, Lord, this manna is getting 224 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 4: a little old. Do you think you could send some quell? 225 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 2: God? 226 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 4: Thank you Father for this manna? 227 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 7: Though? 228 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 4: And if you don't send some quell, I know you're 229 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 4: getting me where I'm going. But God, I'm asking, I'm 230 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 4: asking you for some quail. You see, if they would 231 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 4: have sandwiched their request between Thanksgiving, I think we'd be 232 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 4: reading a different story about them. God would be teaching 233 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 4: us a different lesson about them. Don't weaken your faith 234 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 4: by your complaining. Strengthen it by your prayer, by your 235 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 4: petitions to God, making your requests known with thanksgiving in 236 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 4: your heart. You see what they did is they left 237 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 4: what they had to chase after what they didn't have. 238 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 4: That's what complaining does. It doesn't say Hey, I'm grateful 239 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 4: for what I have until I get more. It says, 240 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 4: you know what, I don't care what I have. I 241 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 4: want more. Really, that's what complaining does. And the scripture 242 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 4: says that when they thought they were complaining to Moses 243 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 4: and Aaron, they were really complaining about God. Listen, I'm 244 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 4: guilty of complaining. But you know what, I want to 245 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 4: watch my complaining because I know it's right up there 246 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 4: with worry. It isn't changing a thing. It's not doing 247 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 4: a thing for me for my life. It's only shrinking it, 248 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 4: limiting it and not getting me to where I need 249 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 4: to be. Let's don't be fault founders and complainers. Let's 250 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 4: be those who pray impetician God with thanksgiving in our heart. Amen.
