1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,279
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Jolan Victorium.

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for listening to the podcast and thanks

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 2: for supporting the ministry.

4
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: We believe you're going to have an.

5
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: Awesome twenty twenty four, healthy, productive, and favor filled.

6
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: God bless you today and enjoy the message. God bless you.

7
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 2: It's great to be with you today, and I hope

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 2: you'll stay connected with us during the week through our

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media. We'll keep you

10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: encouraged and inspired. I'd like to start with something funny.

11
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: And one day Adam was feeling very lonely. God said, Adam,

12
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make you a companion.

13
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: It's going to be called a woman.

14
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: This person will cook for you, wash your clothes. She

15
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 2: will bear your children, never ask you to get up

16
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: in the middle of the night.

17
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: She will always agree with you. If you do have

18
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: a disagreement, she'll be the first one to admit she

19
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: was wrong. Adam said, wow, God, what will a woman

20
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: like this cost?

21
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: God said an arm and a leg. Adam said, what

22
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: can I get for a rib?

23
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: And the rest is history. Now come on, all the

24
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: men said, Amen, are you ready? This is my Bible.

25
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: I am what it says, I am.

26
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: I have what it says I have, I can do

27
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: what it says I can do.

28
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: Today I will be taught the word of God.

29
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

30
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 2: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

31
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

32
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: dealing with negative thoughts. No matter how good of a

33
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: person you are, how much faith you have, you'll never

34
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: get to the place where negative thoughts don't come. Discouraging thoughts.

35
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: Your dream is never going to come to pass. You'll

36
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: never meet the right person it would have happened by now.

37
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: Thoughts of wordy the medical reports talk good. Your child

38
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: is off course, business is slowing down.

39
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: What are you going to do?

40
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: The enemy's main tools are deception and lies. Your mind

41
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: is the bullseye of his target. If he can control

42
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 2: your thinking, he can control your life. You can't stop

43
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 2: negative thoughts from coming.

44
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: But here's the key.

45
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: Just because the thought comes doesn't mean you have to

46
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: think it. You control the doorway to your mind. You're

47
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: in charge of what you give access to. That's why

48
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: the scripture tells us to guard our minds, be selective

49
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: in what you allow in.

50
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: If the thought is negative.

51
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: Discouraging, bringing worry, fear, do yourself a favor.

52
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: Don't let it in.

53
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: It's not complicated, don't dwell on it, don't give it

54
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: the time of day. But too often, when these negative

55
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: thoughts come, we don't think twice. We just allow them

56
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: access go around, worried, discouraged, intimidated. Start paying attention to

57
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 2: what you're dwelling on when discouraging thoughts come. Nothing good

58
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: is in your future. Why do you even have your

59
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: hopes up? You're going to be disappointed again. Before you

60
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: dwell on that, before you let it take route, ask yourself,

61
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: where is this thought coming from. If it's not positive, hopeful, encouraging.

62
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: It's not from God.

63
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: That's the enemy doing what he does best, trying to

64
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: plant negative seeds, fearful seeds inferior seeds. God said here

65
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: in Isaiah, if you'll keep your mind stayed on me, I.

66
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: Will keep you in perfect peace. What is your.

67
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: Mind stayed on? What are you dwelling on throughout the day, Joel?

68
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: Have you watched the news?

69
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: Interest rates going up, the recession, the stock market.

70
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm worried.

71
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: Those are all valid thoughts. I'm not saying to deny reality.

72
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: I'm saying, be selective in what you dwell on. The

73
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: right approach is yes, there's a lot of uncertainty. I

74
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: don't know how it's all going to turn out. But God,

75
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: I know you're my provider. You take care of the

76
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: birds of the air, feed and clothe them, You're going

77
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: to take care of me. Steady, keeping your mind stayed

78
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: on your problems, stayed on the news, stay on doubt,

79
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: stay don't worry, keep it stayed on what God promised you.

80
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: Here's a simple principle. When a negative thought comes, erase it.

81
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: And replace it.

82
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: It's not enough to just not think negative, because once

83
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: you dismiss it, once you make that decision, I'm not

84
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: dwelling on that. I'm not letting that worry in. That's good.

85
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 2: The problem is it'll come back in a few seconds.

86
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,799
Speaker 2: Once you erase the negative, replace it with a positive thought.

87
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: Don't leave your mind empty. The thought comes.

88
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: Nothing goods in your future. Dismiss it, don't give it

89
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: the time of day. Then take the next step. Father,

90
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: you promised the path of the righteous. My path is

91
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: getting brighter and brighter. You said, my latter days will

92
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: be better than my former days.

93
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: Thoughts come. It's problems too big, the.

94
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: Op position too strong, You'll never get past it. You

95
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 2: can let that play and live defeated, discouraged, intimidated, or

96
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: you can replace it with what God says. Father, you said,

97
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: when the enemy comes against me one way, you would

98
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 2: defeat them and cause them to flee seven different ways.

99
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: And yes, this may be too big for me, but

100
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: I know it's not too big for you. Or how

101
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: about when these never lies come lies It tell you you'll

102
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 2: never get well, never meet the right person, never get

103
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: out of debt. Don't let that play in your mind.

104
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: If you do, you're defeating yourself. That's keeping you from

105
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 2: seeing God's favor.

106
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: Erase it. That's the first step.

107
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 2: Not dwelling on that anymore. Then take the next step

108
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: and replace it. Father, Thank you that what you started

109
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 2: in my life.

110
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: You will finish.

111
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: What I'm up against is not permanent. I know this

112
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 2: too shall pass. Breakthroughs are coming, healing is coming, freedom

113
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: is coming, victory is coming.

114
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: Get your mind going in.

115
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: The right direction, and your life will go in the

116
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 2: right direction.

117
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: You're going to.

118
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 2: Draw in what you're constantly thinking about. If you're thinking,

119
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 2: can't do it, thoughts, I'm not enough. This problem's too big.

120
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: You're drawing in defeat. That's making you weaker. Your gifts

121
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 2: are being pushed down, your faith is being diminished. Why

122
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: don't you try erasing and replacing? How much further will

123
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 2: you go? How much happier will you live? How much

124
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: more of God's favor will you see? If you'll guard

125
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 2: your mind, if you'll be selective in what you're dwelling on,

126
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 2: if you'll keep it stayed on him. Joshua will put

127
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 2: it this way, if you will meditate on God's word,

128
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 2: you will prosper and have good success. Meditate means to

129
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: think about over and over. Really, worry is meditating. It's

130
00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: letting the negative.

131
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: Play again and again.

132
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: Some people have this principle down. They're professional warriers. The

133
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: problem is they're meditating on the wrong things. They're letting

134
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: the negative continually plain. Why don't you switch what you're

135
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: meditating on. It doesn't take any more energy to believe

136
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 2: that it does to worry this, one small tweak can

137
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: make a life changing difference. Instead of going through the

138
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: day worried about your future, wondering how you're going to

139
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: make it a small tweak. Father, thank you that you

140
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: have me in the palm of your hand. I know

141
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: you're ordering my steps. You said, no good thing.

142
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: Will you withhold because I walk up rightly.

143
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: Now, Instead of your thoughts defeating you, draining your energy,

144
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: limiting your future, You're using your thoughts to encourage you,

145
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,559
Speaker 2: to empower you to build your faith. Joel, I'm worried

146
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: about my child. He's off course, running with the wrong crowd.

147
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: That's why I can't sleep at night. That's why I'm upset. Now.

148
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: I know that's difficult.

149
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: I know how much you love your children, But worrying

150
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 2: is not making it better. Living stressed is not helping

151
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: him or you. The reason you don't have peace is

152
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: your mind is stayed on the problem. Your mind is

153
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: stayed on what's not working out. God said, if you'll

154
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: make a switch, if you'll keep your mind stayed on me,

155
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: if you'll think positive, hopeful, faithful thoughts, then I'll give

156
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: you peace in the midst of the problem. Instead of

157
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: dwelling on all the negative what might happen. Why don't

158
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: you use that same energy to meditate on what God

159
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: promised you. Father, you said, my children are mighty in

160
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 2: the land. You said, the seed of the righteous is

161
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: blessed that as for me and my house, we will

162
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: serve the Lord. Negative thoughts are going to come, but

163
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: if you'll learn this principle to erase and replace, you

164
00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 2: won't give into the worry, the fear, the discouragement. You

165
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: wake up in the morning thoughts sometimes whisper it's going

166
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 2: to be a lousy day. Have so many problems. I

167
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: don't feel like dealing with these children. You can either

168
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: dwell on that, believe that it's true, and you'll go

169
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 2: around discouraged. It'll become a reality you'll have a lousy day.

170
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 2: But a better approach is to say no, thanks. I'm

171
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: not going to dwell on those discouraging thoughts. They came

172
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 2: to my mind, but I know I control the doorway.

173
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 2: I don't have to allow them in. I'm going to

174
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: erase them and replace them with some better thoughts.

175
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: This is going to be a great day. Father.

176
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: Thank you that I'm alive. Thank you that you woke

177
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: me up this morning. Thank you that I'm healthy. Thank

178
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: you that you have a bright future in store for me.

179
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: What's playing in your mind? What are you giving access to?

180
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: Paul said in Philippians, think on things that are positive

181
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 2: things that are wholesome, things that are of a good report.

182
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: You can't think negative and have a positive life. You

183
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 2: can't think sickness and get well. You can't think lack

184
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: and have abundance. The battle is taking place in our mind.

185
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 2: Be selective of what you allow in. Imagine someone showed

186
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: up at your house, knocked on your front door.

187
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: You opened it and there was this stranger.

188
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 2: He was carrying an axe, a hammer, a rifle, a

189
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: bag of poison, all these harmful, dangerous things. You wouldn't say, hey,

190
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: come on in, make yourself at home, good to see,

191
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 2: got some food in the fridge. You wouldn't think twice.

192
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 2: You would tell him you are not welcome here. You

193
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: need to get off my property. You would shut the door,

194
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: dead vaulted, make sure that he left.

195
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: Well. Your mind is your house, It's where you live.

196
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 2: There's nothing more valuable, more important, more sacred.

197
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: Why are you letting destructive thoughts in? Why are you

198
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: letting fear roam around? Why are you letting worry have

199
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: free reign? Why are you allowing doubt? You can't do it.

200
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: It's never going to work out. To have a seat on.

201
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: Your couch, that's your property. You have complete control over

202
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: what you let in. No, you can't stop it from coming.

203
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 2: It may knock on the.

204
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,119
Speaker 1: Door, but you don't have to give it access.

205
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 2: Next time's fear knocks, you'll never get well.

206
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: You saw the report.

207
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: This sickness is the end. Why don't you say no, thanks,

208
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: You're not welcome here. I will live and not die.

209
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: God is restoring health back unto me. When fear knocks,

210
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 2: let faith answer. Next time doubt shows up, man, it's

211
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 2: too big. It's never going to work out. You don't

212
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: have the connections. Just say sorry, doubt, you have the

213
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: wrong address. There's no place for you here when insecurity

214
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: comes knocking.

215
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: You're not good enough, You're.

216
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: Not attractive, you don't have a good personality. Nobody wants

217
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 2: to be around you. Don't you dare let those thoughts

218
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 2: in your attitude should be get off my property. You're

219
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: not welcome here. I know who I am. I'm a masterpiece.

220
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 2: I'm one of a kind. I'm made in the image

221
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: of God. I'm crowned with favor. I'm wearing a robe

222
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 2: of righteousness. I have been fearfully and wonderfully made.

223
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: Start closing the door to the negative. Close the door

224
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: to these.

225
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 2: Destructive, limiting, defeating thoughts. But sometimes we believe them so

226
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: long they become a part of who we are. We

227
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: didn't know any better. It's how we were raised. We

228
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 2: opened the door, and.

229
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: Now it's like they've taken up residents. They have their

230
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: own room.

231
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: Imagine Fear, worry, doubt, insecurity living in your house, dragging

232
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 2: you down, stealing your joy, taking your peace. That may

233
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: be the way it's been, but this is going to

234
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: be a new day.

235
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: It's time to do some house cleaning.

236
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 2: You need to evict some tenants that have been living

237
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: in your mind.

238
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: The good news is you're in charge. They may seem.

239
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 2: Bigger, stronger, more powerful, but you determine what stays in

240
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 2: your mind. You need to tell Fear you're evicted. You're

241
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: not welcome here anymore. I'm not living afraid of what

242
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: might happen. My future is in God's hands. Nothing can

243
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 2: stand against him. You need to tell Worry you've been

244
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 2: with me long enough. Sorry, you've lost your lease. Tell

245
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 2: Doubt your time is up. Got some new rules you

246
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 2: have to go tell Insecurity, sorry, no more place for you.

247
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: You're out of here.

248
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 2: See you, I'm not going to be you all that

249
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: negative that's weighing you down, limited in your future.

250
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: Why don't you serve some eviction notices?

251
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: Keep your mind positive, hopeful, full of faith, expecting good things,

252
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 2: believing to overcome, trusting God to do what only he

253
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: can do.

254
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: Here's what I've learned. When your mind is filled with

255
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: the positive, there's no room for the negative.

256
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: When you're full of faith, praise, gratitude, believing for the best.

257
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: When the negative comes, you don't even answer the door.

258
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: You don't pay it any attention.

259
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: Fear knocks, but there's.

260
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: A no vacancy sign. Can't they hear me? No, this

261
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: mind is full of faith.

262
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: Complaining knocks, discouragement.

263
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: Sorry, no vacancy. This mind is full of praise. Father,

264
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: Thank you for what you've done. Thank you for fighting

265
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: my battles. Thank you for surrounding me with your favor

266
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: when worry comes?

267
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: What about these gas prices? Did you see the news? Inflation? Recession?

268
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: Sorry, no vacancy, Father, Thank you that you're Jehovah, Jirah.

269
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,119
Speaker 1: The Lord by provider.

270
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: The economy is not my source, God, you're my source.

271
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: I know I'm connected to.

272
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: A supply line that will never run.

273
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: Drive.

274
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 2: This is not just being positive. This is releasing your faith.

275
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: This is what allows God to do awesome things when

276
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 2: your mind has stayed on him.

277
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: You're going to have peace in the middle of.

278
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 2: A pandemic, favor in the famine, strength in the storm,

279
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: going up when you should be going down.

280
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: What's playing in your mind?

281
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: Are there some tenants you need to event Are there destructive,

282
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: discouraging thoughts that you need to stop allowing in. That's

283
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 2: what my mother had to do.

284
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: You know her story.

285
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: She was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer in nineteen eighty one,

286
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 2: given a few weeks to live.

287
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: She was only forty six years old.

288
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: She'd been perfectly healthy, always active, working in the yard,

289
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: pastoring the church with my father, traveling the world.

290
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: Suddenly she gets this terrible news. She became so fraim.

291
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: She weighed eighty nine pounds, her skin was very yellow.

292
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: The doctor said there was nothing more they could do.

293
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 2: You can imagine the thoughts that came knocking at her door.

294
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: This is it, man, You're done. Make plans for your funeral.

295
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 2: The middle of the night, when she couldn't sleep, the

296
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: thought came, you can be buried in that new pink

297
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: dress that you just bought. My mother had good reasons

298
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: to feel worried, afraid, hopeless, But she understood this principle.

299
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: When fear knocked, she didn't let it in. When worry knocked,

300
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 2: it's over quit believing, she said, you're.

301
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: Not welcome here. When doubt knocked, you heard the report.

302
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 2: They're the best doctors in the world. There's nothing more

303
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 2: they can do. She said, no, thanks, there's no room

304
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: for you in my thinking. She guarded her mind. She

305
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: was extremely selective of what she allowed in. She knew

306
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: she was in a fight. She wasn't about to give

307
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: her valuable real estate her mind any room for negative, discouraging,

308
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 2: defeating thoughts. When you're in a battle, when forces are

309
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: coming against you in a great way, that's when you'll

310
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: be the most tempted to believe the lies, get discouraged.

311
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: It's never gonna work out.

312
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 2: Just accept it. More than ever. You need to close

313
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 2: the door.

314
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: Don't give those lies access.

315
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 2: You need all your energy to believe, to stay strong,

316
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 2: to have faith, to overcome what's trying to stop you.

317
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 2: Be diligent. The scripture says give no place to the enemy.

318
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 2: That means don't give him any rooms in your house.

319
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: Don't give him any place in your thinking. My mother

320
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: didn't just erase the negative thoughts, but she replaced them

321
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 2: with God's word.

322
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: The best defense is a good offense.

323
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: She kept her mind filled with God's promises all through

324
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: the day. I would hear her quoting scripture, I will

325
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 2: live and not die. God is restoring health back into me.

326
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 2: With long life, he will satisfy me.

327
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: If you leave your.

328
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 2: Mind empty, it's going to naturally gravitate toward the negative, especially.

329
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: When you're in different caught times.

330
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: That's when you need to be very disciplined in what

331
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: you allow in and on purpose think thoughts of hope, faith, healing, victory.

332
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: A friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer, and he

333
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 2: was a professional football player, and he had to stop

334
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: playing to take the treatment.

335
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: He could have been.

336
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 2: Discouraged, given up on his dreams, but his attitude was

337
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 2: this illness is not going to defeat me. It's just

338
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 2: a bump in the road. I will play football again.

339
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 2: I will accomplish my God given dreams. He was so

340
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 2: disciplined to guard his mind. He wouldn't let anyone use

341
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 2: the word cancer in his house.

342
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: He told his family, his.

343
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 2: Friends, even as doctors, he didn't want them speaking that.

344
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: Word over him.

345
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: He didn't want it down in his spirit, even when

346
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 2: he was taking chemo the whole time. Father, thank you

347
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 2: that I am healed, that this too shall pass. That

348
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 2: greater is he that's in me than what's trying to

349
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: stop me. Two years later, against all odds, he was

350
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 2: back in the league.

351
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: Playing professional football.

352
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 2: Thoughts told him all the reasons it would never happen,

353
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 2: but he didn't answer the door.

354
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: He gave no place to the enemy.

355
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 2: Don't let those lives take root, don't give them access

356
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 2: by believing them.

357
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: Dwell on what God says about you. My mother kept doing.

358
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 2: This didn't happen overnight, but little by little she got

359
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 2: better and better. Medical science even tells us that when

360
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 2: people are positive, hopeful, they believe they'll get well, they're

361
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: much more likely to recover than those who are negative

362
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 2: and discourage. My mother is eighty eight years old today, healthy,

363
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: hold strong, from a few weeks to live to forty

364
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 2: two years later.

365
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: God has the final say, why don't you get in

366
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: agreement with him?

367
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 2: Don't let those lives play in your mind, start erasing them,

368
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 2: and didn't take the next replace them with faith filled,

369
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 2: favor filled.

370
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: Victorious thoughts. Here's another key.

371
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: You're moving toward what you're constantly thinking about. This can

372
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 2: be helpful or it can be harmful. What are you

373
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 2: thinking about your future?

374
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: Joel? I never get any good breaks. Men. This pandemic

375
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: has set.

376
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 2: Me back, and I wish I had more talent. You're

377
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 2: moving toward defeat, lack, mediocrity. Try a new approach. Favor

378
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 2: is in my future. Good breaks are chasing me down.

379
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: The right people are headed my way. Father, Thank you

380
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,239
Speaker 2: that the best part of my life is still in

381
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: front of me. When you think like that, you're moving

382
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 2: toward favor, increase, open doors, abundance.

383
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: What do you think about your health? I've had this

384
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: addiction for years.

385
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 2: Everyone in my family struggles with depression. I'll never get

386
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 2: back in shape. That's moving you in the wrong direction.

387
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: Chain starts in your thinking. How about this approach.

388
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: This addiction is not permanent. Chains that have held me

389
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: back are being broken.

390
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: I am free, I am whole, I am healthy, I

391
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 2: am in shape, I am attractive. I am full of energy, vitality,

392
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 2: and strength. My youth is being renewed like the eagles.

393
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 2: Get your mind going in the right direction. Your life

394
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 2: is going to follow your thoughts. Scripture says in Colossans,

395
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: set your mind and keep it set at the start

396
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: of the day. You need to set your mind when

397
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 2: you get out of bed. Father, thank you for the

398
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 2: gift of this day, so another day you've made. I'm

399
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: gonna choose to be happy. I'm going to see the best.

400
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to be a blessing to others. I'm gonna live.

401
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: This day to the full.

402
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 2: If you don't set your mind, the enemy will set

403
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 2: it for you. You'll wake up and think about all

404
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 2: your problems, everything you've done wrong. I'll never break this addiction.

405
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 2: I should have eaten better yesterday. I can't believe that

406
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: coworker was rude to me. Don't start the day off negative.

407
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 2: Don't bring yesterday's trouble, yesterday's disappointment, yesterday's failures into the day.

408
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 2: Start the day afresh and a new The Psalm has

409
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 2: said God's mercies are new every morning, not every afternoon,

410
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 2: not every evening.

411
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: Each morning received the new mercy.

412
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: How you start the day, many times, will determine what

413
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 2: kind of day it's going to be.

414
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: Don't ever start the day in neutral.

415
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: Don't wait to see what kind of day it's going

416
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 2: to be determine what kind of day it is going

417
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: to be. Make up your mind, this is going to

418
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 2: be a great day. I'm gonna be productive today. I'm

419
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 2: gonna enjoy my family. I'm gonna honor God. I'm grateful

420
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: to be alive. That's setting your mind. That's making plans

421
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 2: for a blessed day. Goes on to say keep it set.

422
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 2: That implies things are going to happen that.

423
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: Will try to unset it.

424
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 2: Challenges, delays, people that are rude, doors that close. You

425
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 2: can't stop that from happening, but you can choose to

426
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: not let it get on the inside when worry comes. Now,

427
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 2: my mind is set. God is settled on the throne.

428
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 2: He's in control of my life. When a fence comes,

429
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 2: you can get upset, live bitter. No, God is my vindicator.

430
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 2: He's fighting my battles. The contract didn't go through, you

431
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 2: didn't get the position. You could be down disappointed, But

432
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 2: your mind is set.

433
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: God. I trust you.

434
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 2: I know you wouldn't have closed this door unless you

435
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 2: had something better in store. Don't let the challenges during

436
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 2: the day unset your mind. Keep it set, keep it

437
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 2: stayed on Him, keep it full of praise. Keep expecting

438
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 2: good things, keep believing for what God promised you. I

439
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: talked to a man that was moving to Houston from

440
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 2: another city, and he got a promotion that he'd been

441
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 2: believing for for a long time.

442
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: Was a dream come true.

443
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 2: They had to sell their house before they could buy

444
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 2: a house here. The problem was the real estate market

445
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 2: in their city was very depressed. Hardly anything was selling

446
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 2: on his street alone. There were four houses for sale,

447
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 2: many more in the neighborhood. Thoughts came telling them all

448
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 2: the reasons why their house wouldn't sell.

449
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: The job wouldn't work out, market.

450
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 2: Saw too much inventory, This isn't at the right time.

451
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 2: They were tempted to get discouraged, not think that could happened,

452
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: but they understood this principle.

453
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: When doubt not, they said, no, thanks, you're not welcome here.

454
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 2: Thoughts of worry came. What if it doesn't work out?

455
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 2: What if you missed this great opportunity?

456
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: What if you can't move? They said, sorry, worry, you

457
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: don't belong here. We don't have space for you.

458
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 2: They kept their mind filled with faith. Father, we know

459
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 2: you can make a way where we don't see away.

460
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 2: Thank you Lord, that you're causing our property to stand

461
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 2: out that your fever surrounds us like a shield. Real

462
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 2: estate agent told them, on average it was taken over

463
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 2: a year for properties to sell. To not get their

464
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 2: hopes up. All the facts said it would be months

465
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: and months, But two weeks after they put the house

466
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: on the market is sold for full price. They met

467
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 2: with the new owners and asked why they chose their

468
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: house out of all the others. They said, we looked

469
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: at over thirty properties, but when we walked in yours,

470
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 2: something just felt right.

471
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: We knew it was supposed to be ours.

472
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 2: God knows how to bring the right people to you.

473
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 2: He knows how to open doors you can't open. He

474
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: knows how to turn your child around, how to free

475
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 2: you from that addiction. Don't believe those lies that it's

476
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: not going to happen. It's too late, the odds are

477
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 2: against you. Just say no, thanks, You're not welcome here.

478
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to keep my mind stayed on him. Are

479
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: your thoughts limiting you or are your thoughts empowering you?

480
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,959
Speaker 1: Are you thinking thoughts of defeat, worry, can't do it?

481
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 2: Or are you thinking thoughts of victory, favor, breakthroughs, abundance,

482
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,479
Speaker 2: there's a battle taking place in your thinking. I'm asking

483
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 2: you to start closing the door to the negative.

484
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: You control the access.

485
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 2: Be selective, don't just let anything in wrong thinking will

486
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: keep you from your destiny. Start erasing and replacing. Erase

487
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 2: the negative, don't give it the time of day. Replace

488
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: it with God's word, with positive, faith filled thoughts. If

489
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 2: you'll do this, I believe and declare, because your mind

490
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 2: is stayed on him, You're going to have more peace,

491
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 2: more joy, more favor. Forces that have held you back

492
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: are being broken right now. You're about to rise higher,

493

Speaker 2: accomplish dreams, and go further than you've imagined. I declare

494
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 2: it in the name of Jesus, and if you receive

495
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 2: it when you say amen, I'd like to give you

496
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 2: an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of your life.

497
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I

498
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll make

499
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: you my Lord and savior.

500
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,720
