I believe God has amazing things in your future. 25 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 3: I hope you enjoy this message. I want to remind 26 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 3: us all today to not be complainers and fault finders. 27 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 3: Oh man, really, we don't need to be complainers and 28 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 3: fault finders. See, it's easy to see what's wrong in 29 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 3: a situation. It's easy to see what could be done better. 30 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 3: You know, naturally we tend to look at the negative. 31 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 3: Just our natural minds tend to always gravitate to the negative, 32 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 3: and it causes us. 33 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 4: To find fault. 34 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 3: But we don't want to be complainers and fault finders 35 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 3: because we know that it doesn't please God. You know, 36 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 3: we're all guilty this. I'll be the first one to 37 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 3: raise my hand, Okay, because sometimes it feels good to complain. 38 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 4: You get it off your chest. You're just venting. 39 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 3: It feels good. Why do we complain? That's one reason 40 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 3: it feels kind of good sometime. Okay, let's just get 41 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 3: real about it. We've all thought, all right, just get 42 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 3: it off my chest and then I'll be okay, or 43 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 3: we think or I think sometimes if I complain, I 44 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,839 Speaker 3: can change the situation. I'll go to Joel and I'll 45 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 3: tell him why this isn't right and why we shouldn't 46 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 3: do it this way, because I think I'm gonna change 47 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 3: the situation right. But you don't change the situation by complaining, 48 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 3: by finding fault, you usually make the situation worse. Like 49 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 3: I said, we can all think these thoughts of how 50 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 3: we could do it better, but we've got to learn 51 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 3: that we don't have to give life to these thoughts. 52 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 3: You see, when we give life to these negative thoughts, 53 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 3: we create a more negative environment. We not only pollute 54 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 3: ourselves with this negative environment, but. 55 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 4: We pollute other people. 56 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 3: We cause them to begin to think negative thoughts. It's 57 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 3: as if it can spread if we're not careful. No 58 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 3: one wants to be around a complainer. No one wants 59 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 3: to be around a fault finder. 60 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 4: We don't either, So let's watch what we're saying. 61 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 3: Even though it may feel good for a time, have 62 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 3: we ever stopped step back and thought, but is it doing. 63 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 4: Us any good? Is it really doing us any good? 64 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: You see, I was reading this study and I thought 65 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 3: it was very interesting, and these researchers, we're talking about 66 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 3: the brain and the effects of the on the brain 67 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 3: when we complain, and it's it says that when we complain, 68 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 3: we literally rewire our brain to complain. You see, our 69 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 3: brain wants to take the path of least resistance, It 70 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 3: wants to take the easy way out, so it wants 71 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 3: to repeat a pattern. So when you complain, you learn 72 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 3: to complain more. You're wiring in this negative pattern. And 73 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 3: so really what the researchers we're saying is we're training 74 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 3: our own brains to complain. I don't want to be 75 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 3: a complainer. I want to be a person that has 76 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: faith and hope. Yes, we're all gonna have the opportunity 77 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 3: to complain because there's no perfect person, there's no perfect spouse, 78 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 3: there's no perfect job. 79 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 4: Life is imperfect. So we're not. 80 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 3: Gonna get rid of the fact that there is opportunities 81 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 3: to complain. But I want to suggest to us today 82 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 3: to be smarter than a complainer and to figure out 83 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 3: a way to be the solution to the problem, to 84 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 3: not just complain about the problem. 85 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 4: To find a way to act. 86 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: Properly when you feel negative. And the first way is 87 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 3: not to train your brain to complain. Now, the scripture 88 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 3: is full of stories, and the Scripture says that these 89 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 3: stories are placed here so that we can learn, so 90 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,679 Speaker 3: that we can learn valuable lessons for our own life. 91 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 3: So I want to quickly take us back to the Israelites. 92 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 3: When God brought them out of Egypt, he led them 93 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 3: out by a man named Moses. 94 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 4: We know this story. 95 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 3: They were led out of captivity by a leader named Moses, 96 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 3: and he did it by God's command. He was able 97 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 3: to do it because God said, I am taking my 98 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 3: people to a land that is rich with milk and honey, 99 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 3: he called the Promised Land. 100 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 4: Now, they had been. 101 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 3: Quickly captive under the barbaric hand of Pharoh. They had 102 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 3: been mistreated, and God says, enough is enough. I'm taking 103 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 3: my people out now. If you've been mistreated, sometimes you 104 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 3: come out very with a victim mentality. But God wanted 105 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 3: to reverse this victim mentality. So you know what he 106 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 3: had the Egyptians do. Pharaoh and those people. He had 107 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 3: them pour the wealth on the Israelites. So when they 108 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 3: left Egypt, they didn't leave with nothing. They left with 109 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 3: gold and silver and cattle. They left well equipped. They 110 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 3: left with the mindset of Oh wow, this is God, 111 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 3: because only God could do that. They got to the 112 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 3: Red Sea, and God part of the Red Sea they 113 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 3: walked through. 114 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 4: On dry land. 115 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 3: They were on their way to the Promised Land. But 116 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 3: as they got on their way, guess what, they started 117 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 3: some seeing some things that could be done better. They 118 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 3: began to look at Moses and think, Moses, really, I 119 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 3: can do this better. They began to look at Air 120 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 3: and in question their leadership. So they began to complain 121 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 3: and mumble and grumble. 122 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 4: You see. 123 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 3: They began to complain about their food, and their water, 124 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 3: and their enemies. But you know, it's really interesting in 125 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 3: Deuteronomy one two, this is what it says. It says 126 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 3: when God was taking them to the Promised Land, he 127 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 3: had already ordained to get them there. 128 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 4: It was an eleven day journey. You see. 129 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 3: They left with more than enough to get there in 130 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 3: eleven days, but it took them forty years. 131 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 4: Forty years. 132 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 3: Was it Moses that stopped them? Was it their enemies 133 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 3: that stopped them? Was it the fact that they didn't. 134 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 4: Have the right food that stopped them. No, what they thought. 135 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 3: Was their enemies, the things they were complaining about, the 136 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 3: things that they were blaming and pointing the finger out 137 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 3: wasn't their enemy at all. Their number one enemy was 138 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 3: their own murmuring and complaining. 139 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 4: Have you ever thought that. 140 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 3: Your own murmuring and complaining could limit your thinking, could 141 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 3: literally stop you from going to the next level? Have 142 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 3: you ever thought how unhealthy it really is? 143 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 5: See? 144 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 3: I think if the Israelites could have read the research 145 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 3: that I read, they would have said, Oh my gosh, 146 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 3: I'm training my own brain to complain, and that complaining 147 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 3: is enemy number one. 148 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 4: Enemy number one. I want to encourage us today. 149 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 3: If we can train our brain to complain, we can 150 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 3: train our brain to see God and how he can 151 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 3: work in a situation. We can literally train our brain 152 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 3: to believe that God can do something. 153 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 4: You know, God is taking us all somewhere, And. 154 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 3: Can I tell you right now, you have everything you 155 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 3: need right now to get to where God's taking you. 156 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 3: If God is leading you, nothing can stop you. You see, 157 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 3: that's where the Israelites missed it. They were looking at 158 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 3: the things, the circumstances around them. 159 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 4: They forgot to look to their God. 160 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 3: It's easy to blame, it's easy to see out of 161 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 3: these eyes. But we've got to begin to see out 162 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 3: of our supernatural eyes, the things unseen, the hand of 163 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 3: God behind the scenes, that's fighting our battles for us. 164 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 4: And keep our mouths closed. 165 00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 3: Until we get there. You see, they complained about mana. 166 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 3: Manna was the bread that came down from heaven that 167 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 3: God provided for them every single day. 168 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 4: Now, granted, they had this. 169 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 3: Manna every single day, and they tired of the mana. 170 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 3: Have you ever got tired of something? 171 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 4: Every day? 172 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 3: I go to work every day, I clean this house 173 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 3: every day, I pick up my husband's socks. 174 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 4: You see, they tired of this manna. 175 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 3: So they begin to grumble and complain about this manna. 176 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 4: And it's so. 177 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 3: Interesting that that just took fire in the whole camp. 178 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 3: So they all started grumbling and complaining. And when you 179 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 3: grumble and complain, you know what happens. Attitudes come up 180 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 3: out of you that are not pleasing to God. In fact, 181 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 3: grumbling and complaining can literally change our perspective. They started 182 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 3: thinking about the food they used to eat, the onions 183 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 3: and the leeks and the garlic. 184 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 4: They begin to take their mind back to what they used. 185 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 3: To eat in captivity, so much that that food became 186 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 3: more important than their freedom. That food became more important 187 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 3: than their freedom, instead of going to that manna every 188 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 3: day and saying, God, I want to eat this until 189 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 3: you change it. But I am grateful that I am free. 190 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 3: I am grateful that you are taking me somewhere. See, 191 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 3: sometimes we all want something bigger. We want to go 192 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 3: to the next level, but we don't want to do 193 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 3: what it takes to get to that next level. Yeah, 194 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 3: I want a job promotion. I want this job promotion now. 195 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 3: I don't want to work any extra hours. Man, if 196 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 3: I could have a husband, my life would be complete. 197 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 4: I am weighting for my man. I certainly don't want 198 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 4: to cook for him. 199 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 6: Though. 200 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 3: We want things, but we don't want what it takes to. 201 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 4: Have those things. And this was their dilemma. They wanted 202 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 4: out of captivity. 203 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 3: God says, I'm taking you somewhere, but they didn't want 204 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 3: to face the trials until they got there. Listen, if 205 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 3: you don't like what's going on in your life, change 206 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 3: is coming. 207 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 4: Change is coming. Change is coming. 208 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 3: Change is coming, But you're not gonna find it by 209 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 3: complaining and grumbling. You're gonna find it by staying the course, 210 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 3: by being grateful. See, complaining finds the worst in the situation. 211 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 4: Not the best. 212 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 3: If you can train your mind to complain, you can 213 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 3: train your mind to find the best. Listen to what 214 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 3: it says in Philippians two fourteen. This is kind of 215 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 3: the antidote for seeing the negative and figuring out what 216 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 3: to do with it. 217 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 4: You can see it's gonna get in there, But what 218 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 4: are you gonna do with it? 219 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 3: Don't give it life, don't spread it, don't ruin relationships, 220 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 3: don't stop your destiny. Figure out what to do with 221 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 3: it before you let it out. And this is what 222 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 3: God is saying. First of all, he's commanding us do 223 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 3: all things without grumbling, finding fault and complaining. All right, 224 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 3: So there's one thing I can recognize. I'm not supposed 225 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 3: to let it out. What am I supposed to do 226 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 3: with it? 227 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 5: God? 228 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm only human, right, he says. A little 229 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 3: later in Philippians four or five, he says, pray, Hey, 230 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 3: if you've got a complaint, if you see something wrong, 231 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 3: pray and ask God about it. 232 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 4: Pray and ask God about it. That's what you do 233 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 4: with it. 234 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 3: And then it says with thanksgiving in your heart. Can 235 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 3: you imagine if they would have said, Lord. 236 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 4: This manna is getting a little old. Do you think 237 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 4: you could send some quaill? 238 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 3: God, thank you Father for this manna, though, And if 239 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 3: you don't send some quall, I know you're getting me 240 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 3: where I'm going. But God, i'm asking, I'm asking you 241 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 3: for some quail. You see, if they would have sandwiched 242 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 3: their request between Thanksgiving, I think we'd be reading a 243 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 3: different story about them. God would be teaching us a 244 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 3: different lesson about them. 245 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 4: Don't weaken your faith by your complaining. 246 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 3: Strengthen it by your prayer, by your petitions to God, 247 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 3: making your request known with thanksgiving in your heart. You 248 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 3: see what they did is they left what they had 249 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 3: to chase after what they didn't have. That's what complaining does. 250 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 3: It doesn't say, hey, I'm grateful for what I have 251 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 3: until I get more. It says, you know what, I 252 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 3: don't care what I have, I want more. Really, that's 253 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 3: what complaining does. And the scripture says that when they 254 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 3: thought they were complaining to Moses and Aaron, they were 255 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 3: really complaining about God. Listen, I'm guilty. 256 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 4: Of complaining, But you know what, I want to watch 257 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 4: my complaining because I know it's right up there with worries. 258 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 4: It isn't changing a thing it's not doing a thing 259 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 4: for me for my life. 260 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 3: It's only shrinking it, limiting it, and not getting me 261 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 3: to where I need to be. Let's don't be thought 262 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 3: founders and complainers. Let's be those who pray and petition 263 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 3: God with thanksgiving in our heart. 264 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 4: Amen. 265 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 5: Amen, Thank you for listening to the Joelo's Dean podcast. 266 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 2: Help us continue to share the message of hope with 267 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 2: those all over the world. 268 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 4: Visit jolosdein dot. 269 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: Com slash give Hope to give a gift today.
