0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.119
<v Speaker 5>Hi, this is Victoria, Thank you so much for downloading

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 5>this podcast. I believe God has amazing things in your future.

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 5>I hope you enjoy this message. I just want to

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 5>encourage all of us today with the scripture that's found

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 5>in Romans. Romans twelve and this is Paul talking to

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 5>the Romans, and he's encouraging them and urging them with

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 5>great firm to change their minds to be more like God.

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 4>And he says this.

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 5>He says, do not be conformed to this world, but

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 5>be transformed by the renewing of your minds. See, he

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.360
<v Speaker 5>knew that God wanted to do something in his people,

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 5>but they couldn't keep thinking the old way and have

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:26.519
<v Speaker 5>the new things that God wants to do.

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 4>You've heard it said like this.

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 5>They couldn't put new wine and old wine skins. They

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 5>had to change their mind. And you know what, that's

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 5>the same with us today. We can't be conformed to

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 5>this world's culture. We can't be conformed to the wrong

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:48.920
<v Speaker 5>types of thinking. We have to be transformed by the

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 5>renewing of our mind. You see, our salvation on this

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:57.359
<v Speaker 5>earth starts in our mind. If you're born again today,

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 5>if you've given Jesus your life, you're a new creature

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 5>in Christ Jesus, and so your spirit has been made new.

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.079
<v Speaker 4>It has come alive in Christ Jesus.

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.240
<v Speaker 5>The problem is our mind needs to catch up with

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 5>what's going on in our spirit, all right, But we

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 5>can do that by not conforming to our old thinking,

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.920
<v Speaker 5>but submitting ourself to the word of God, to the

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:27.880
<v Speaker 5>teachings of God. You see, we are so blessed because

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 5>we can get the word of God at our fingertips.

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 5>We can google the Word of God. We can take

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 5>our phone and get our bib ble apps. We can

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 5>listen to podcasts. We can turn on the internet, we

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 5>can turn on the TV listen. We can put our

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 5>music on our Christian faithful music that declares the goodness

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:51.680
<v Speaker 5>of God.

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 4>We are so blessed.

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 5>We have to submit and stay under this word of

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 5>God so that it can change our thinking. You see,

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 5>some people may not have been brought up in church.

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 5>I was brought up in church, but you may not

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 5>be have been. So maybe you have some things that

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.760
<v Speaker 5>are contrary to what God wants you to think today.

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 5>Some of you have addictions. It's contrary to what God

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.920
<v Speaker 5>has for you today. You see, God is saying, don't

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 5>be conformed by a habit, don't be conformed by an addiction,

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 5>don't be conformed by the cultures of this world, the

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:37.720
<v Speaker 5>way this world thinks, but be transformed by the renewing

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:42.839
<v Speaker 5>of your mind. You have the choice of what you

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 5>listen to, of what you put yourself under. And God

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 5>is saying, renew your mind, change your mind, get into.

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.360
<v Speaker 4>What I have for you.

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 5>You see, I talk to people all the time who

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.799
<v Speaker 5>have an addiction, and they are ruggling to break the addiction.

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 5>And what I tell them is just don't stay down,

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 5>get back up, put yourself under the word of God.

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 5>And those strongholds, those things that are trying to hold

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 5>you back, they can't stand.

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:15.719
<v Speaker 4>Up against the word of God.

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 5>It's only a matter of time before your mind catches

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 5>up with what the spirit is doing.

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:24.799
<v Speaker 4>In Ephesians, the Bible says.

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 5>To him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 5>all we can ask, think or imagine.

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:33.919
<v Speaker 4>I love that God can do anything.

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 5>But listen to the second part, according to the power

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.359
<v Speaker 5>that works in us. See, God is saying, when you

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 5>transform your mind, you line your mind up with the

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 5>power that's in you. See, there's power in a made

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.919
<v Speaker 5>up mind. There's power in a mind that says, no,

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.919
<v Speaker 5>I'm not staying here. I'm on my way to greater places.

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.119
<v Speaker 5>I'm on my way to God's destination. I'm not gonna

0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 5>be held down by always in old patterns of things.

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 5>You see, I think about the apostle Paul, and he

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 5>was so passionate to let them know by the mercies

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 5>of God, by the grace of God, this can happen

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 5>for you. You see, people they drink drinks to detox

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 5>their body. Have you ever heard somebody say, you know,

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 5>drink this for five days and it'll get all the

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 5>junk out of your body.

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:21.039
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.239
<v Speaker 5>They say that the stuff we eat, even the water

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 5>we drink, you know, has toxins in it. So people

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.960
<v Speaker 5>want to be healthy, they want to detox their body. Listen,

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:31.839
<v Speaker 5>when you read the word of God and put yourself

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:32.720
<v Speaker 5>under the word of God.

0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 4>Your detoxing your mind.

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:40.480
<v Speaker 5>You're dislodging strongholds, your weakening their grip on you. Listen,

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.720
<v Speaker 5>you're in a battle. You're in a battle, and it's

0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.240
<v Speaker 5>time to stand up and fight.

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 4>It's time to say, I'm not gonna let the wrong

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.040
<v Speaker 4>words come out of my mouth. I'm not gonna let

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.279
<v Speaker 4>my whole way of thinking stop me.

0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 5>I've heard people who are fighting illnesses and they listen

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 5>to the Word of God constantly.

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 4>They've constantly got it going.

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 5>Whether they have the Word of God, whether they have

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:09.120
<v Speaker 5>a good teaching, whether they have joel, whether they have praise.

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 5>They are constantly bathing and sanctifying their mind in the

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 5>word of God. See, we're justified in our spirit, but

0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 5>we have to be sanctified in our mind. That means

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 5>we have to set our mind apart from the old

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 5>way of doing and being, and we have to get

0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 5>in God's way of doing and being. You see, if

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 5>we want to know God's will, We're gonna have to

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 5>know God's way. Now, he was telling them, don't be conformed,

0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.200
<v Speaker 5>but be transformed. And he was saying, this is a process.

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.680
<v Speaker 5>Don't get down on yourself. It's a process. And then

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 5>he went on to say this. He says, do not

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 5>be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 5>renewing of your mind. That by testing you may be

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 5>able to discern the will of God for your life.

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 5>What is pleasing, right and acceptable. How many of you

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:03.720
<v Speaker 5>want to know the will of God for your life.

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:05.800
<v Speaker 4>I want to know the will of God for my life.

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:08.720
<v Speaker 4>I want to know the will of God for my life.

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:12.760
<v Speaker 5>And God is saying, through this transformation, through this new

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 5>way of thinking, you can take all these choices and

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 5>you can put them under the scrutiny of what you know.

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 5>You can test it and see shall I make it

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 5>or shall I not? Shall I choose it, or shall

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.200
<v Speaker 5>I go the other way? See, you can put the

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.880
<v Speaker 5>choices you make every day under the scrutiny of the

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.760
<v Speaker 5>word of God. See, God wants us to walk in

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 5>confidence before him. He wants us to know what his

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 5>will is so we'll know what way to go. It's

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 5>kind of like taking a test. Have you ever gone

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 5>in when you're in school to take a test or

0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.080
<v Speaker 5>for your job. The better you knew the material, the

0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 5>more confident you were, the more answers.

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.479
<v Speaker 4>You got right. It's kind of like that God.

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.319
<v Speaker 5>Is saying, this transformation comes a little by little, but

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 5>keep gaining knowledge, keep testing your choices by what you

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:08.200
<v Speaker 5>know to be right. You know, we make choices every

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 5>single day, and those choices make us so it's so

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 5>important that we put our choices under God's authority.

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:23.040
<v Speaker 4>Now. You know, sometimes we don't want to put.

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 5>Every choice under God's authority because some choices.

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 4>We just want they look so good.

0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 5>God, I can fix this with you later. Let me

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:36.319
<v Speaker 5>go ahead and make this choice, you know what.

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 4>And God knows that.

0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:40.960
<v Speaker 5>I mean, we've all been there, we've all done that.

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 4>And the good thing about God he can.

0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:45.360
<v Speaker 5>Take our bad choices and bring him glory and us good.

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:46.800
<v Speaker 4>All right, he can.

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 5>He's a good God, and he loves us, and I

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 5>love the fact that he's not judging us. The point

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 5>is is that we need to not be afraid to

0:09:55.400 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 5>take our attitudes, our unforgiveness, our habits, everything about us

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 5>and put it under the submission of God. See Paul

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 5>was saying, be a living sacrifice. That's how he started

0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.560
<v Speaker 5>a be a living sacrifice. What he was saying, he

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 5>was going, go all in, Go all in. Don't hold

0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.959
<v Speaker 5>back certain areas of your life. You have a bad habit,

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 5>put it under God's authority.

0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.720
<v Speaker 4>Don't hold on to it and say, God, I'll fix it.

0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 5>As soon as I fix it, then I'll come over

0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:25.440
<v Speaker 5>here and give.

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:25.800
<v Speaker 4>It to you.

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 5>God is saying, give it all to me, the good,

0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.439
<v Speaker 5>the bad, the ugly. Put it under my word. Let

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 5>me break those things off of your life. See Jesus

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:40.439
<v Speaker 5>came as the living Word. The Bible says he came

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 5>as the Word made incarnate, man made flesh, and he

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 5>walked among them. And do you know that when you

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 5>read the word of God, you get good teaching. You're

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 5>walking with Jesus. And he's still doing what he did

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.199
<v Speaker 5>those days in the Bible. He's still healing, he's still delivering,

0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.000
<v Speaker 5>he's still setting free.

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.760
<v Speaker 4>He's still restoring take his hand and put all of

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 4>it under his authority.

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.720
<v Speaker 5>We can't be afraid and listen. You know, we have

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.080
<v Speaker 5>big decisions that we have to make in our life.

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 5>I've heard people say, I want to know the will

0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.079
<v Speaker 5>of God. Should I take this job, should I start

0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 5>this business? Should I go back to college? Is this

0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 5>the person I should marry? And those are all very

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:25.040
<v Speaker 5>important decisions. But we need to put every decision under

0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.440
<v Speaker 5>the will of God, because the better choices we make,

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 5>the closer we are to those better decisions on those

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 5>big issues of our life.

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 4>When I was a young girl, I remember my heart.

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.360
<v Speaker 5>I would just say to God, God, when I get

0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 5>married someday, all I know is this, I want a

0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.720
<v Speaker 5>man who loves you more than I do. You see

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 5>my heart said this, God. I don't want to be

0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 5>dragging anybody up. I don't want to be constantly pushing

0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 5>them up. But I don't want them to sharpen me.

0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 5>I want us to be better together. I want us

0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 5>to do great things for you. Now, I just want

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:02.520
<v Speaker 5>to tell you this. Don't say this part, but this

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.560
<v Speaker 5>is literally what I said, because if I was you,

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 5>I would find a man with a job. But I

0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.559
<v Speaker 5>said I said, God, he doesn't have to have a

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 5>lot of money. You know what, he didn't have to

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 5>be rich. God, I just want him to love you.

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 5>Because my heart was like this, God, you can do

0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.040
<v Speaker 5>anything in our life. If we serve you, we can

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 5>rise higher.

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 4>We can do anything.

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:28.200
<v Speaker 5>But the bottom line is my gold standard is that

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 5>he loves you a lot. So when I met Joel,

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 5>he looked good on the outside, in fact, from the outside,

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.440
<v Speaker 5>and he looked like he was perfect. But you know what,

0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.120
<v Speaker 5>I didn't want to just judge him from the outside.

0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.640
<v Speaker 5>I wanted to judge my who I was gonna marry

0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.720
<v Speaker 5>by the word of God. And although he looked good,

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 5>he seemed to have the right credentials, you know what,

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 5>that wasn't good enough.

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.319
<v Speaker 4>I watched him, I studied him. I saw if his.

0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 5>Beliefs lined up with his actions. I watched how he

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.760
<v Speaker 5>treated his family, what he said about his friends, his

0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:08.480
<v Speaker 5>generosity towards others. See, I let that character line itself

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 5>up with the word of God. Then I could make

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 5>an educated, bodily decision. You see, God wants us to

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.320
<v Speaker 5>be confident in our decisions as our minds are graining

0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.439
<v Speaker 5>more knowledge and being transformed. Then we can test our

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 5>choices and make the right decisions. Well, I had the

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.840
<v Speaker 5>peace of God. He asked me to marry, so I did.

0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 5>Thirty years later. It's been a wonderful decision. It's been

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 5>a great decision. Can I tell you girls, don't judge

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:47.240
<v Speaker 5>from the outside. Make sure their character lines up. You're

0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:52.000
<v Speaker 5>far too valuable to get together with someone who.

0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 4>Doesn't appreciate you.

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 5>And know how to bring out the best in you,

0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.440
<v Speaker 5>who doesn't serve the living God.

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 4>You see, I'm made my decision.

0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.200
<v Speaker 5>I'd rather be home with a peanut butter and jelly

0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.959
<v Speaker 5>sanwich than with a man that wasn't good enough for

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:06.640
<v Speaker 5>me and God.

0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 4>All right, it's not worth it.

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.760
<v Speaker 5>Every decision you make. Use the word of God as

0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 5>your goal standard. Keep conforming to God's word and his likeness.

0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:25.360
<v Speaker 5>Don't conform to the world, don't conform to habits. You

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.600
<v Speaker 5>may be fighting something right now, and I just want

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:31.600
<v Speaker 5>to encourage you to get yourself, submit yourself under the

0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.080
<v Speaker 5>word of God. Don't let anything come out of your

0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 5>mouth that doesn't line up with what you want. Listen,

0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.880
<v Speaker 5>when you're in a fight, you've got to fight to

0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.560
<v Speaker 5>the end. You got to be serious about where you're going.

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 5>God's work will renew you, strengthen you, and refresh you.

0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.440
