And I heard 46 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 4: about these three sisters, ages ninety six, ninety four, and 47 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 4: ninety two that lived together. One night. The ninety six 48 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 4: year old draws a bath, She puts one foot in 49 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 4: and stops. She hollers downstairs, I can't remember if I 50 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 4: was getting in or getting out. The ninety four year 51 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 4: old says, hang on, I'll come up and help you. 52 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 4: She gets halfway up the stairs and stops, says, I 53 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 4: can't remember if I was going up or coming down. 54 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 4: The ninety two year old sugar head said, boy, I 55 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 4: hope I don't get that forgetful, and she knocked on 56 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 4: wood for good luck. Then she said, hang on, I'll 57 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 4: come help both of you as soon as I see 58 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 4: who's at the door. Say it like you mean it. 59 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 60 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do 61 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be 62 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 63 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 64 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 65 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 4: to talk to you today about unclutter your mind. It's 66 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 4: easy to go around worried about our future, stressed over 67 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 4: our finances, frustrated with our boss. We're tempted to live 68 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 4: guilty because of past mistakes and bitter over what didn't 69 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 4: work out. We wonder why we don't enjoy life, why 70 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 4: we're not passionate about dreams, why we can't sleep at night. 71 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 4: It's because our mind is cluttered. You weren't created to 72 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 4: live worried, guilty, bitter, upset. If you're going to reach 73 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 4: your destiny, you have to clear out the clutter. You 74 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 4: can't stop negative things from coming, but you can keep 75 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 4: them from staying. You don't have to hold on to it. 76 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 4: When we make mistakes, guilt will come, condemnation telling us 77 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 4: how we don't measure up. You can hold on to it, 78 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 4: go around down on yourself, or you can let it 79 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 4: go and say, Father, thank you that I am forgiven, 80 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 4: thank you that I am redeemed. The past is over, 81 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 4: this is a new day. I'm moving forward. When you 82 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 4: go through a disappointment something doesn't work out, you can 83 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 4: hold on to it, live discouraged, or you can let 84 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 4: it go and say, God, I know you have something better. 85 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 4: I know your plans for me are for good. I 86 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 4: know you're directing my steps when the medical report is 87 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 4: not good, when the contract doesn't go through, when you're 88 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 4: in a legal situation. You can hold on to it 89 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 4: live worried thinking what am I going to do? Or 90 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 4: you can let it go and say, God, I know 91 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 4: you're fighting my battles. I know what's meant for harm. 92 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 4: You're turning to my advantage. I may not see away, 93 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 4: but God, I know you have a way. You can 94 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 4: clear out the clutter. You can get rid of the 95 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 4: negative things that are stealing your peace, taking your joy, 96 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 4: draining your energy. The Scripture tells us to guard our minds. 97 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 4: You have to be proactive when it comes to keeping 98 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 4: your mind in peace, because all through the day there's clutter, 99 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 4: there's noise, there's jealousy, there's hurts. There's a fence. They 100 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 4: may come, but you don't have to hold on to it. 101 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 4: I saw a documentary about hoarders. These are people that 102 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 4: never throw anything away. And this one lady lived by 103 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 4: herself in a two story house, but you couldn't get upstairs. 104 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,239 Speaker 4: She had it so piled full of trash, old newspapers, 105 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 4: empty cereal boxes, cans from food that she had eaten 106 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 4: thirty years ago. There was a small path to the kitchen, 107 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 4: to the bathroom, and to a little place to sleep, 108 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 4: big walls of trash on each side. You can imagine 109 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 4: how it smelled, how unhealthy it was. It got so 110 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 4: bad the authorities came to do an intervention. They knocked 111 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 4: on the front door, but she couldn't open it. They 112 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 4: went around to the side door, barely squeezed in. At 113 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,239 Speaker 4: one point, this man picked up an old popsicle wrapper. 114 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 4: Looked like there were thousands piled up in the corner. 115 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 4: He asked if he could get rid of it. The 116 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 4: lady told how that belonged to her children, that it 117 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 4: meant something to her, and to put it back. It 118 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 4: seemed obvious to everyone all she was doing was keeping trash, 119 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 4: but she couldn't see it. She was so focused on 120 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 4: holding onto everything she didn't realize it was limiting her life. Now, 121 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 4: I wonder how many of us are hoarders in our minds. 122 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 4: We're not letting anything go. There's so much clutter we 123 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 4: can enjoy our life. God has you hearing this because 124 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 4: he wants to do an inner. He wants to help 125 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 4: you clear out the worry. The offense, the guilt, the bitterness, 126 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 4: those things that are cluttering your life. What's interesting is 127 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 4: the authorities didn't make her throw away the trash. It 128 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 4: was her choice, and eventually she decided to do it, 129 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 4: but it wasn't easy. Everything in her said to hold 130 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 4: on to it. That's all she had known for years. 131 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 4: Living cluttered had become normal to her, and sometimes living 132 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 4: worried has become normal to us. We've done it for years. 133 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 4: Living guilty is what we're used to. We've gone around 134 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 4: thinking we don't deserve to be blessed, We've made too 135 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 4: many mistakes. We've let that recording place so long that 136 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 4: we've accepted it. Or maybe living inferior, feeling less than. 137 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 4: Perhaps that's how you were raised. Thoughts have always told 138 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 4: you you're not that talented, you're not attractive, you don't 139 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 4: have a good personality. We didn't know any better. We 140 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 4: believe those lies, and now our mind is cluttered. The 141 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 4: good news is this is your day for an intervention. 142 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 4: It is time to clear out the clutter those thoughts 143 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 4: that are telling you you're not up to par. You 144 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 4: need to say no, thank you. I am fearfully and 145 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 4: wonderfully made. I have royal blood flowing through my veins. 146 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 4: I'm wearing a crown of favor. Clear out the negative. 147 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 4: You have enough people in life against you. Don't be 148 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 4: against yourself. You've been made in the image of Almighty God. 149 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 4: God doesn't make any mistakes. He didn't make you faulty. 150 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 4: He calls you a masterpiece, a prize possession. My challenge, 151 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 4: don't say another negative word about yourself. Quit dwelling on 152 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 4: those thoughts telling you what you're not. You are exactly 153 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 4: how you're supposed to be. You have been wonderfully made. 154 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 4: Now get in agreement with God. God all through the day. 155 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 4: This recording should be playing in our mind. I'm a masterpiece, 156 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 4: I'm one of a kind. I'm talented, I'm attractive, I'm favored, 157 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 4: I'm empowered, I have seeds of greatness. When you dwell 158 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 4: on what God says about you, it will automatically clear 159 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 4: out the clutter. Fear can't stay where faith is. Discouragement 160 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 4: can't stay where hope is. Guilt can't stay where forgiveness is. 161 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 4: Mediocrity can't stay where greatness is. Program your mind with 162 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 4: what God says about you. But this lady had a 163 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 4: beautiful house. She couldn't enjoy it, She couldn't get upstairs 164 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 4: because of the trash. In the same way, if you 165 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 4: don't clear out the clutter, it will keep you from 166 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 4: going to new levels. Worry will keep you from rising higher. 167 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 4: Living guilty will keep you from pursuing dreams. Going around defended, bitter, 168 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 4: we'll keep you from new opportunities. What do you all 169 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 4: These people hurt me, they did me wrong. That's why 170 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 4: I'm bitter. That's why I'm upset. That happened twenty seven 171 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 4: years ago. Why are you still holding on to it? 172 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 4: Why are you still sour over the person that walked away? 173 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 4: Still upset over how you were raised? Still bitter over 174 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 4: that company that lets you go. Don't be a hoarder. 175 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 4: Don't let that poison your future. They hurt you once, 176 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 4: don't let them continue to hurt you by holding onto it. 177 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 4: Recognize that's cluttering your mind, that's limiting your vision. Now. 178 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 4: I'm not saying what they did wasn't hurt for I'm 179 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 4: not making excuses for their behavior. But as long as 180 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 4: you hold on to it, you're giving them your power. 181 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 4: You're letting them control you. We only have so much 182 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 4: emotional energy each day. Do you know how much energy 183 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 4: it takes to hold a grudge, to be bitter, to 184 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 4: go around trying to pay people back. That is valuable 185 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 4: energy you need for your dreams, for your goals, for 186 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 4: your children. God said he will give you beauty for ashes. 187 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 4: But here's the key. You have to let go of 188 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 4: the ashes before you receive the beauty. You can't go 189 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 4: around hurt, living offended, upset and see the new things 190 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 4: God has in store. You have to clear out the clutter. 191 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 4: That's what makes room for God to give you the beauty. 192 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 4: The mistake we make sometimes is we think we have 193 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 4: to get even, we have to pay people back. No, 194 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 4: that's not your job. If you'll turn it over to God, 195 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 4: he'll be your vindicator. He'll bring justice into your life. 196 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 4: He saw every hurt, every wrong, every person that took 197 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 4: advantage of you. I've learned God will vindicate you better 198 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 4: than you can vindicate yourself. David said, God will prepare 199 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 4: a table before you in the presence of your enemies. 200 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 4: That means when God brings you out those people that 201 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 4: did you wrong, the people that tried to hold you back, 202 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 4: they will see you promoted, honored, in a position of influence. 203 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 4: God is not going to vindicate you in private. He's 204 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 4: going to do it in public, so your enemies see you. Blessed, 205 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 4: favored successful. When my dad went to be with the 206 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 4: Lord and I stepped up to pastor the church, I 207 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 4: was very insecure. I had never ministered before. One Sunday, 208 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 4: right after I first started speaking, I was walking through 209 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 4: the front lobby and I overheard these two older ladies talking. 210 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 4: One said he's not as good as his father. The 211 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 4: other answered, yeah, I don't think he's going to make it. 212 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 4: That was the last thing I needed to hear. It 213 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 4: was like my worst nightmare. I was tempted to shrink 214 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 4: back and think I can do this. Nobody's going to 215 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 4: listen to me. But I felt something rise up in 216 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 4: me so strongly. I thought, who are they to tell 217 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 4: me what I can't do? They didn't breathe life into me. 218 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 4: They don't determine my destiny. They didn't know me before 219 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 4: I was formed in my mother's wound. I don't need 220 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 4: their approval. I don't have to have them to be 221 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 4: for me. I did what I'm asking you to do. 222 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 4: I cleared out the clutter, and every time their voices 223 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 4: came to my mind, I said, no thanks. I am 224 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 4: well able, I am strong in the Lord. God being 225 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 4: for me is more than the world being against me. 226 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 4: And they still may not like me, but that's okay. 227 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 4: When they turn on the television, they probably see me. 228 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 4: When they're flipping through Serious XM. They might hear me. 229 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 4: What was that God preparing a table in the presence 230 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 4: of my enemies when we were trying to acquire this building, 231 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 4: the former Compact Center. A well known business leader in 232 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 4: Houston told a friend of mine that it would be 233 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,839 Speaker 4: a cold day in hell before Lakewood got the Compact Center. 234 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 4: He was very against us. The company we were up 235 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 4: against was much bigger, had many more resources. But God 236 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 4: stepped in and made things happen that we never could 237 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 4: make happen. And here we are today. And I can 238 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 4: imagine every time that man drives down the freeway sees 239 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 4: our building with the big Lakewood sign, he must think 240 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 4: it's a cold day in hell because here we are. 241 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 4: What was that God honoring us in front of the opposition. 242 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 4: Now I'm not gloating over it, not too much anyway, 243 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 4: But here's my point. God knows how to vindicate you. 244 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 4: It would be one thing if he did it in private, 245 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 4: we would be grateful. But God is going to do 246 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 4: it in public. He's preparing a table in the presence 247 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 4: of your enemies. That means when you have opposition, when 248 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 4: you have trouble and things come against you, God has 249 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 4: a table there. The key is that don't fight with 250 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 4: the opposition. Don't live worried, upset, stressed out. No, take 251 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 4: a seat at the table God has prepared. If you 252 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 4: will stay in rest, then God will go to work. 253 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 4: But when you work God rest. As long as you're uptight, worried, 254 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 4: trying to make it happen only in your own strength, 255 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 4: it will limit what God will do. The Psalmist said, 256 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 4: be still and know that he is God. Clear out 257 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 4: the worry, clear out the negativity. Live from a place 258 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 4: of faith, a place of peace. God has you in 259 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 4: the palm of his hand. Nothing you're facing is a 260 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 4: surprise to him. He said to the Israelites, stand still, 261 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 4: and you will see the deliverance of the Lord. He 262 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 4: wasn't just talking about physically. He's talking about in their mind, 263 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 4: in their attitude, in their spirit. You may have plenty 264 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 4: of good reasons to live upset, worried, not able to 265 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 4: sleep at night, but when you're in peace, that's a 266 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 4: position of power. When you're in peace, you're showing God 267 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 4: that you trust him. Anyone can stay in faith when 268 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 4: everything's going our way. The test comes when the contract 269 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 4: doesn't go through, when your child is off course, when 270 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 4: the medical report is not good. It's easy to let 271 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 4: the clutter in. No, be still, that's the time to 272 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 4: show God that you trust him, not just with your words, 273 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 4: but with your actions. See, the enemy's main target is 274 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 4: our mind. That's the control center for our life. If 275 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 4: he can keep it cluttered, filled with doubt. What if 276 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 4: it doesn't work out, Joel, What if my health doesn't improve, 277 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 4: What if I don't meet the right person. As long 278 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 4: as our mind is cluttered, it keeps God from turning 279 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 4: it around. God works where there's faith. In Second Chronicles 280 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 4: thirty two, the king of Syria had a huge army. 281 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 4: They had invaded that whole region, conquering all these large 282 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 4: fortified cities by tearing down the walls and capturing the people. 283 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 4: The city of Jerusalem was next in line. Word quickly 284 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 4: spread throughout the Israelite camp. The people begin to panic, 285 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 4: so worried, thinking what are we going to do? They're 286 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 4: so much bigger than us. King Hezekiah said to the 287 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 4: Israelites in verse seven, don't be afraid of this mighty army, 288 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 4: for there is a power far greater on our side. 289 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 4: They may have a great army, but they are just men. 290 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 4: We have the Lord, our God, to fight our battles 291 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 4: for us. When you face big enemies, big oppositions, you 292 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 4: have to remind yourself our God is bigger than the cancer. 293 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 4: He's bigger than the addiction. He's bigger than the people 294 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 4: that are trying to stop you. The way to stay 295 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 4: in faith is don't talk about how big the problem is. 296 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 4: Talk about how big your God is. He flung stars 297 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 4: into space, he spoke worlds into existence. He healed my 298 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,719 Speaker 4: mother of terminal cancer. He gave us the compact Center. 299 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 4: The good news is right now, he's breathing in your direction. 300 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,479 Speaker 4: He's pushing back forces of darkness. He's lining up the 301 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 4: breaks that you need. Don't let fear clutter your mind. 302 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 4: Don't let doubt keep you from your miracle. Don't let 303 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 4: people talk you out of your dreams. The King of 304 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 4: Syria sent a letter to the Israelites threatening them. It's said, 305 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 4: we've conquered all these cities. We've captured, all these people, 306 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 4: none of their God saved them. What makes you think 307 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 4: your God is going to save you. The enemy will 308 00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 4: always try to defeat you first in your thoughts, like 309 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 4: you'll never get well. Your grandmother died of the same thing. 310 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 4: You'll never break the addiction, that problem will never turn around. 311 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 4: Don't believe those lies. He wouldn't be telling you that 312 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 4: unless he knew it was on the way. Do like Hezekiah. Yes, 313 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 4: this problem may be big, but I know a secret. 314 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 4: My God is much bigger. He's on the throne. He 315 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 4: has the final say. What he started in my life, 316 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 4: he will finish. Had Hezekiah not been proactive to guard 317 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 4: his mind and to speak victory to the people, they 318 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,719 Speaker 4: were to all panic, lived in fear. Instead, they stayed 319 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,959 Speaker 4: in peace. Verse twenty one says God sent an angel 320 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 4: that destroyed the whole enemy army. That king went home 321 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 4: in disgrace, returned to his land. God knows how to 322 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 4: vindicate you. He knows how to turn the problem around. 323 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 4: One angel wiped out the whole bunch. Now stay in faith. 324 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 4: When you're attempted to worry, turn it into worship. Father, 325 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 4: Thank you that your angels are working in my life. 326 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 4: Thank you that no weapon formed against me will prosper. 327 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 4: Thank You that the trap the enemy set for me, 328 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 4: they will fall in themselves. If we're going to keep 329 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 4: the clutter out, we have to know what's our job 330 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 4: and what's God's job. Sometimes we're frustrated because we're trying 331 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 4: to do what only God can do. You can't make 332 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 4: yourself get well, make somebody do what's right, make a 333 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,479 Speaker 4: door open. Our part is to believe. Our part is 334 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 4: to stay in faith and then let God do his part, 335 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 4: trust him to work it out. Hezekiah could have thought, 336 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 4: I know God's on my side. I'm going to go 337 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,199 Speaker 4: attack this army, show them who they're dealing with. We 338 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 4: wouldn't be reading about it. I'm not saying to always 339 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 4: sit back and be passive, but there are some battles 340 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 4: you're not supposed to find. God fight them for you. 341 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 4: Even with the Compact Center, we had a three year 342 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 4: legal battle, and yes we did what we could, but 343 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 4: we recognize God, this is too big for us. Only 344 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 4: you can make this happen. So we're going to be 345 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 4: still and know that you are God. Like with Hezekiah, 346 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 4: God stepped in and made things happen that we could 347 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 4: have never made happen. But while you're waiting for things 348 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 4: to change, that's a test. It's easy to live worried, 349 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 4: focused on your problem, thinking about how it's never going 350 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 4: to work out. Oh, clear out that clutter. Isaiah said, 351 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 4: if you'll keep your mind stayed on him, God will 352 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 4: keep you in perfect peace. Our part is to keep 353 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 4: our mind on him. God. Thank you that you're in control. 354 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 4: Thank you that you are for me. Thank you that 355 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 4: your destiny for my life will come to pass. If 356 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 4: we do our part, God will do his part. He'll 357 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 4: not only keep you in peace, but he'll get you 358 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 4: to where you're supposed to be. In the scripture, there 359 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 4: were three Hebrew teenagers that were about to be thrown 360 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 4: into a fiery furnace because they wouldn't bow down to 361 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,719 Speaker 4: the king's golden idol. The king threatened them one last time. 362 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 4: They said, King, we're still not going to bow down. 363 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 4: We know our God will deliver us. They had this 364 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 4: attitude of faith, but what they said next was the 365 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 4: real key. They went on to say, even if he 366 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 4: doesn't deliver us, we're still not going to bow down. 367 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 4: That's a powerful position when you can say I'm going 368 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 4: to stay in peace if it works out my way, 369 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 4: and I'm going to stay in peace if it doesn't 370 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 4: work out my way, then you take away all the 371 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 4: power of the enemy. If you're only going to be 372 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 4: happy if it happens your way, you're setting yourself up 373 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 4: for disappointment. Why don't you take this next step? God, 374 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 4: This is what i'm believing for, this is what I want. 375 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 4: But God, you know what's best for me. And if 376 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 4: it doesn't happen my way, I'm still going to stay 377 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 4: in peace. I'm still going to have a song of praise. 378 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 4: I'm still going to be good to people. That's what 379 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 4: allows God to do amazing things. But there's a lot 380 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 4: of noise these days. There's a lot of drama things 381 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 4: that we can get pulled into. Worry, conflict, jealousy. That 382 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,719 Speaker 4: may be all around us, but it doesn't have to 383 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 4: get in us. Pay attention to what you're allowing in 384 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 4: your spirit. Just because there's conflict with your relatives doesn't 385 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 4: mean it has to get in you. Don't take that bait. 386 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 4: Stay on the high road. Maybe at the office, you 387 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 4: could be frustrated people are playing politics, not treating you 388 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 4: right it's easy to let that sour your day, come 389 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 4: home negative. No, clear out that clutter. Your time is 390 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 4: too valuable to live it upset, bidter. This day is 391 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 4: a gift from God. Once we live it, we can 392 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 4: never get it back. And sometimes we become so hooked 393 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 4: on drama, so used to living up titan, worrying about 394 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 4: this situation, putting out this fire, fighting with this relative. 395 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 4: We've forgotten what it's like to be in peace, to 396 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 4: not have all that clutter. That is not the way 397 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 4: God created us. In the garden of Eden, before they 398 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 4: ate the forbidden fruit, there wasn't any noise, any drama, 399 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 4: any jealousy, backstabbing politics. It was peaceful, joyful. And no 400 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 4: it's not like that now. But you can choose to 401 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 4: live from a place of peace. You don't have to 402 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,719 Speaker 4: let the outside get on the inside. Maybe you've become 403 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 4: comfortable with the clutter like this lady, you don't recognize 404 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 4: that it's limiting your vision, that it is blocking your potential. 405 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 4: Not only that it doesn't smell good. Worry doesn't look 406 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 4: good on you. Living guilty, bitter, offended, angry. That is 407 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 4: not your style. Clear out that clutter and you'll step 408 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 4: into new levels. I read where a sheep won't give 409 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 4: birth in a noisy place when it's about to go 410 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 4: into labor. It will leave the flock, get away from 411 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 4: all the commotion, all the busyness, and find a quiet place. 412 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 4: In that peaceful atmosphere, it will give birth. In the 413 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 4: same way, you won't give birth to your dreams in 414 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 4: a noisy place. You won't give birth to that breakthrough 415 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 4: you're believing for. If you're worried, if your mind is stressed, 416 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 4: you won't give birth to your potential. If your mind 417 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 4: is full of hurts, regrets, bitterness. You may wonder why 418 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 4: God is not doing anything. Perhaps He's waiting for you 419 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 4: to find a quiet place. And it may be noisy 420 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 4: all around you, but in your mind you can be 421 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 4: in peace when you know God is in control, when 422 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 4: you know he's directing your steps, when you know nothing 423 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 4: can stand against him, then you can live out of 424 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 4: a quiet place. David said, God makes me to lie 425 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 4: down in green pastures. He leads me by the still waters. 426 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 4: You could think David had an easy life. Everything must 427 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 4: have gone his way he lived in the green pastures. 428 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 4: It was just the opposite. David's life was full of difficulties, 429 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 4: people trying to stop him, armies trying to defeat him. 430 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 4: His own family didn't believe in him. Yet he said, 431 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 4: I lie down in green pastures by still waters. He 432 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 4: wasn't just talking about physically, he was talking about in 433 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 4: his mind. Despite all that came against him, he chose 434 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 4: to live in a place of peace. God is saying 435 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 4: to you, come into the green pastors, come by the 436 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 4: still waters. You don't have to carry all that clutter. 437 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 4: It's time to get rid of the offense, the hurts, 438 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 4: the guilt, the anger. There are some new things God 439 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 4: wants you to birth. You know where You're going to 440 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 4: birth them, by the still waters. If you'll be still, 441 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 4: you will know he is God. You will see him 442 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 4: show out in your life. I'm asking us to unclutter 443 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 4: our minds. Living guilty is not your destiny. Going around 444 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 4: down on yourself, thinking problems are too big is not 445 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 4: who you were created to be. Empty out the negative 446 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 4: and program your mind with what God says about you. 447 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 4: If you'll do this, I believe and declare you're going 448 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 4: to give birth to dreams, to promotion, to healing, to breakthroughs. 449 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 4: God is going to defeat enemies. Much bigger open doors 450 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 4: that you couldn't open and take it to the fullness 451 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 4: of your destiny in Jesus' name. If you receive it, 452 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 4: can you say him in Today? I'd like to give 453 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 4: you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of your life. 454 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 4: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord Jesus, a 455 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 4: repit of my sins, come into my heart. I make 456 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 4: you my Lord and savior.
