0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 4>Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 4>this podcast. I believe God has got amazing things in

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 4>your future. I hope you enjoy this message. I want

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 4>to remind us all today to not be complainers and

0:01:54.760 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 4>fault finders. Ah man, Really, we don't need to be

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 4>complainers and fault finders. See, it's easy to see what's

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 4>wrong in a situation. It's easy to see what could

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 4>be done better. You know, naturally we tend to look

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 4>at the negative. Just our natural minds tend to always

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 4>gravitate to the negative, and it causes us to find fault.

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 4>But we don't want to be complainers and fault finders

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 4>because we know that it doesn't please God. You know

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 4>we're all guilty of this. I'll be the first one

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:39.520
<v Speaker 4>to raise my hand. Okay, because sometimes it feels good

0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:43.800
<v Speaker 4>to complain. You get it off your chest. You're just venting.

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 4>It feels good. Why do we complain? That's one reason

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.360
<v Speaker 4>it feels kind of good sometime. Okay, let's just get

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.639
<v Speaker 4>real about it. We've all thought, all right, just get

0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 4>it off my chest and then I'll be okay. Or

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 4>we think, or I think sometimes if I complain, I

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:08.399
<v Speaker 4>can change the situation. I'll go to Joel and I'll

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 4>tell him why this isn't right and why we shouldn't

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.639
<v Speaker 4>do it this way, because I think I'm going to

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:18.399
<v Speaker 4>change the situation right. But you don't change a situation

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 4>by complaining, by finding fault, you usually make the situation worse.

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:30.920
<v Speaker 4>Like I said, we can all think these thoughts of

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 4>how we could do it better, but we've got to

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 4>learn that we don't have to give life to these thoughts.

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 4>You see, when we give life to these negative thoughts,

0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:44.840
<v Speaker 4>we create a more negative environment. We not only pollute

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 4>ourselves with this negative environment, but we pollute other people.

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 4>We cause them to begin to think negative thoughts. It's

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 4>as if it can spread if we're not careful. No

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 4>one wants to be around I come plainer. No one

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 4>wants to be around a fault finder. We don't either,

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 4>So let's watch what we're saying. Even though it may

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 4>feel good for a time, have we ever stopped step

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 4>back and thought, but is it doing us any good?

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 4>Is it really doing us any good? You see, I

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 4>was reading this study and I thought it was very interesting,

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:28.280
<v Speaker 4>and these researchers were talking about the brain and the

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 4>effects of the on the brain when we complain, and

0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:37.480
<v Speaker 4>it says that when we complain, we literally rewire our

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 4>brain to complain. You see, our brain wants to take

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 4>the path of least resistance, It wants to take the

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 4>easy way out, so it wants to repeat a pattern.

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:53.479
<v Speaker 4>So when you complain, you learn to complain more. You're

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:58.800
<v Speaker 4>wiring in this negative pattern. And so really, what the

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:03.280
<v Speaker 4>researchers were saying is we're training our own brains to complain.

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to be a complainer. I want to

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 4>be a person that has faith and hope. Yes, we're

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 4>all gonna have the opportunity to complain because there's no

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:20.480
<v Speaker 4>perfect person, there's no perfect spouse, there's no perfect job.

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 4>Life is imperfect. So we're not gonna get rid of

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 4>the fact that there is opportunities to complain. But I

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 4>want to suggest to us today to be smarter than

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 4>a complainer and to figure out a way to be

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 4>the solution to the problem, to not just complain about

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 4>the problem. To find a way to act properly when

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 4>you feel negative. And the first way is not to

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:53.280
<v Speaker 4>train your brain to complain. Now, the scripture is full

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:58.280
<v Speaker 4>of stories, and the scripture says that these stories are

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 4>placed here so that we can learn, so that we

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 4>can learn valuable lessons for our own life. So I

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 4>want to quickly take us back to the Israelites. When

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 4>God brought them out of Egypt, he led them out

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 4>by a man named Moses. We know this story. They

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 4>were led out of captivity by a leader named Moses,

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.839
<v Speaker 4>and he did it by God's command. He was able

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 4>to do it because God said, I am taking my

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:31.719
<v Speaker 4>people to a land that is rich with milk and honey.

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 4>He called it the Promised Land. Now, they had been

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 4>quickly captive under the barbaric hand of Pharoh. They had

0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 4>been mistreated and God says, enough is enough. I'm taking

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:48.040
<v Speaker 4>my people out now. If you been mistreated, sometimes you

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:53.040
<v Speaker 4>come out very with a victim mentality. But God wanted

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.760
<v Speaker 4>to reverse this victim mentality. So you know what he

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 4>had the Egyptians do. Pharaoh and those people. He had

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:05.159
<v Speaker 4>them pour the wealth on the Israelites. So when they

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:09.279
<v Speaker 4>left Egypt, they didn't leave with nothing. They left with

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 4>gold and silver and cattle. They left well equipped. They

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:18.920
<v Speaker 4>left with the mindset of oh wow, this is God,

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 4>because only God could do that. They got to the

0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.360
<v Speaker 4>Red Sea, and God parted the Red Sea. They walked

0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 4>through on dry land. They were on their way to

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 4>the Promised Land. But as they got on their way,

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 4>guess what they started some see in some things that

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 4>could be done better. They began to look at Moses

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 4>and think, Moses, really, I can do this better. They

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 4>began to look at Air and in question their leadership.

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 4>They began to complain and mumble and grumble. You see,

0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 4>they begin to complain about their food and their water,

0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 4>and their enemies. But you know, it's really interesting in

0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 4>Deuteronomy one two, this is what it says. It says

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 4>when God was taking them to the Promised land he

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 4>had already ordained to get them there. It was an

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 4>eleven day journey, you see. They left with more than

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:20.320
<v Speaker 4>enough to get there in eleven days, but it took

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 4>them forty years. Forty years. Was it Moses that stopped him?

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 4>Was it their enemies that stopped them? Was it the

0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:34.560
<v Speaker 4>fact that they didn't have the right food that stopped them? No,

0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 4>what they thought was their enemies, the things they were

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.440
<v Speaker 4>complaining about, the things that they were blaming and pointing

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:46.319
<v Speaker 4>the finger out, wasn't their enemy at all. Their number

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:52.560
<v Speaker 4>one enemy was their own murmuring and complaining. Have you

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 4>ever thought that your own murmuring and complaining could limit

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:02.360
<v Speaker 4>your thinking, could literally stop you from going to the

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:08.319
<v Speaker 4>next level. Have you ever thought how unhealthy it really is?

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 5>See?

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 4>I think if the Israelites could have read the research

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 4>that I read, they would have said, oh, my gosh,

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:19.679
<v Speaker 4>I'm training my own brain to complain, and that complaining

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:26.000
<v Speaker 4>is enemy number one. Enemy number one. I want to

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 4>encourage us today. If we can train our brain to complain,

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 4>we can train our brain to see God and how

0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:38.320
<v Speaker 4>he can work in a situation. We can literally train

0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 4>our brain to believe that God can do something you know,

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 4>God is taking us all somewhere, And can I tell

0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:51.560
<v Speaker 4>you right now, you have everything you need right now

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 4>to get to where God's taking you. If God is

0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 4>leading you, nothing can stop you. You see, that's where

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.679
<v Speaker 4>the Israelites missed it. They were looking at the things,

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 4>the circumstances around them. They forgot to look to their God.

0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 6>It's easy to blame, it's easy to see out of

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.199
<v Speaker 6>these eyes, but we've got to begin to see out

0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:19.760
<v Speaker 6>of our supernatural eyes the things unseen, the hand of

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 6>God behind the seas, that's fighting our battles for us,

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.559
<v Speaker 6>and keep our mouths closed.

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 4>Until we get there. You see, they complained about mana.

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 4>Manna was the bread that came down from heaven that

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:41.679
<v Speaker 4>God provided for them every single day. Now, granted, they

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.960
<v Speaker 4>had this manna every single day, and they tired of

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:51.560
<v Speaker 4>the mana. Have you ever got tired of something? Every day?

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:55.160
<v Speaker 4>I go to work every day, I clean this house

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 4>every day, I pick up my husband's socks. You see,

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:04.680
<v Speaker 4>they tired of this manna. So they begin to grumble

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:10.720
<v Speaker 4>and complain about this manna. And it's so interesting that

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.959
<v Speaker 4>that just took fire in the whole camp. So they

0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 4>all started grumbling and complaining. And when you grumble and complain,

0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.880
<v Speaker 4>you know what happens. Attitudes come up out of you

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.800
<v Speaker 4>that are not pleasing to God. In fact, grumbling and

0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 4>complaining can literally change our perspective. They started thinking about

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 4>the food they used to eat, the onions and the

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 4>leeks and the garlic. They begin to take their mind

0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 4>back to what they used to eat in captivity so

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:49.040
<v Speaker 4>much that that food became more important than their freedom.

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:55.440
<v Speaker 4>That food became more important than their freedom. Instead of

0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.880
<v Speaker 4>going to that manna every day and saying, God, I'm

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.840
<v Speaker 4>gonna eat this. You know you change it. But I

0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 4>am grateful that I am free. I am grateful that

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 4>you are taking me somewhere. See, sometimes we all want

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.440
<v Speaker 4>something bigger, We want to go to the next level,

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 4>but we don't want to do what it takes to

0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 4>get to that next level. Yeah, I want a job promotion.

0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 4>I want this job promotion now. I don't want to

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 4>work any extra hours. Man, if I could have a husband,

0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:33.320
<v Speaker 4>my life would be complete. I am waiting for my man.

0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:38.600
<v Speaker 4>I certainly don't want to cook for him. Though. We

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:42.360
<v Speaker 4>want things, but we don't want what it takes to

0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:47.960
<v Speaker 4>have those things. And this was their dilemma. They wanted

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.920
<v Speaker 4>out of captivity. God says, I'm taking you somewhere, but

0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:56.960
<v Speaker 4>they didn't want to face the trials until they got there. Listen,

0:12:57.920 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 4>if you don't like what's going on in your life,

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:06.320
<v Speaker 4>change is coming. Change is coming. Change is coming. Change

0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:11.200
<v Speaker 4>is coming. But you're not gonna find it by complaining

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 4>and grumbling. You're gonna find it by staying the course,

0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:21.720
<v Speaker 4>by being grateful. See, complaining finds the worst in the situation,

0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.840
<v Speaker 4>not the best. If you can train your mind to complain,

0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 4>you can train your mind to find the best. Listen

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 4>to what it says in Philippians two fourteen. This is

0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:39.000
<v Speaker 4>kind of the antidote for seeing the negative and figuring

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.560
<v Speaker 4>out what to do with it. You can see it's

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.520
<v Speaker 4>gonna get in there, but what are you gonna do

0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 4>with it? Don't give it life, don't spread it, don't

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:51.840
<v Speaker 4>ruin relationships, don't stop your destiny. Figure out what to

0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.439
<v Speaker 4>do with it before you let it out. And this

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 4>is what God is saying. First of all, he's commanding

0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:02.319
<v Speaker 4>us do all things without grumbling, finding fault and complaining.

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.800
<v Speaker 4>All right, so there's one thing I can recognize. I'm

0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 4>not supposed to let it out. What am I supposed

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:09.280
<v Speaker 4>to do with it?

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:09.640
<v Speaker 7>God?

0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.640
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I'm only human, right, he says a little

0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:18.720
<v Speaker 4>later in Philippians four or five, he says, pray, Hey,

0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.760
<v Speaker 4>if you've got a complaint, if you see something wrong,

0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:26.240
<v Speaker 4>pray and ask God about it. Pray and ask God

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 4>about it. That's what you do with it. And then

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:37.440
<v Speaker 4>it says, with thanksgiving in your heart. Can you imagine

0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:42.160
<v Speaker 4>if they would have said, Lord, this manna is getting

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:45.600
<v Speaker 4>a little old. Do you think you could send some quell?

0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:45.920
<v Speaker 2>God?

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.440
<v Speaker 4>Thank you Father for this manna?

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 7>Though?

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.480
<v Speaker 4>And if you don't send some quell, I know you're

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 4>getting me where I'm going. But God, I'm asking, I'm

0:14:56.640 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 4>asking you for some quail. You see, if they would

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 4>have sandwiched their request between Thanksgiving, I think we'd be

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.760
<v Speaker 4>reading a different story about them. God would be teaching

0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:16.080
<v Speaker 4>us a different lesson about them. Don't weaken your faith

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:21.000
<v Speaker 4>by your complaining. Strengthen it by your prayer, by your

0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:26.640
<v Speaker 4>petitions to God, making your requests known with thanksgiving in

0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 4>your heart. You see what they did is they left

0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.280
<v Speaker 4>what they had to chase after what they didn't have.

0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 4>That's what complaining does. It doesn't say Hey, I'm grateful

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:41.320
<v Speaker 4>for what I have until I get more. It says,

0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.800
<v Speaker 4>you know what, I don't care what I have. I

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:49.480
<v Speaker 4>want more. Really, that's what complaining does. And the scripture

0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.640
<v Speaker 4>says that when they thought they were complaining to Moses

0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:59.360
<v Speaker 4>and Aaron, they were really complaining about God. Listen, I'm

0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:03.800
<v Speaker 4>guilty of complaining. But you know what, I want to

0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.280
<v Speaker 4>watch my complaining because I know it's right up there

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.680
<v Speaker 4>with worry. It isn't changing a thing. It's not doing

0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 4>a thing for me for my life. It's only shrinking it,

0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:19.200
<v Speaker 4>limiting it and not getting me to where I need

0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 4>to be. Let's don't be fault founders and complainers. Let's

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 4>be those who pray impetician God with thanksgiving in our heart. Amen. Amen.
