One night, the ninety six 59 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 3: year old draws a bath, She puts one foot in 60 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 3: and stops. She hollers downstairs, I can't remember if I 61 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 3: was getting in or getting out. The ninety four year 62 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 3: old says, hang on, I'll come up and help you. 63 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 3: She gets halfway up the stairs and stops, says, I 64 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 3: can't remember if I's going up or coming down. The 65 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 3: ninety two year old sugar head said, boy, I hope 66 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 3: I don't get that forgetful, and she knocked on wood 67 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 3: for good luck. Then she said, hang on, I'll come 68 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 3: help both of you as soon as I see who's 69 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 3: at the door. Say it like you mean it. This 70 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 3: is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 71 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 3: I have what it says I have. I can do 72 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 3: what it says I can do. Today I will be 73 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 3: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 74 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 3: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 75 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 3: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 76 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 3: to talk to you today about unclutter your mind. It's 77 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: easy to go around worried about our future, stressed over 78 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 3: our finances, frustrated with our boss. We're tempted to live 79 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 3: guilty because of past mistakes, and bitter over what didn't 80 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 3: work out. And we wonder why we don't enjoy life, 81 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 3: why we're not passionate about dreams, why we can't sleep it. 82 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 3: It's because our mind is cluttered. You weren't created to 83 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 3: live worried, guilty, bitter, upset. If you're going to reach 84 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 3: your destiny, you have to clear out the clutter. You 85 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 3: can't stop negative things from coming, but you can keep 86 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 3: them from staying. You don't have to hold on to it. 87 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 3: When we make mistakes, guilt will come, condemnation telling us 88 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 3: how we don't measure up. You can hold on to it, 89 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 3: go around down on yourself, or you can let it 90 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 3: go and say Father, thank you that I am forgiven, 91 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 3: thank you that I am redeemed. The past is over, 92 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 3: this is a new day. I'm moving forward. When you 93 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 3: go through a disappointment, something doesn't work out, you can 94 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 3: hold on to it, live discouraged, or you can let 95 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 3: it go and say God, I know you have something better. 96 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 3: I know your plans for me are for good. I 97 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 3: know you're directing my steps. When the medical report is 98 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 3: not good, when the contract doesn't go through, when you're 99 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 3: in a legal situation, you can hold on to it 100 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 3: live worried, thinking what am I going to do? Or 101 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 3: you can let it go and say God, I know 102 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 3: you're fighting my battles. I know what's meant for harm. 103 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 3: You're turning to my advantage. I may not see away, 104 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 3: but God, I know you have a way. You can 105 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 3: clear out the clutter. You can get rid of the 106 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 3: negative things that are stealing your peace, taking your joy, 107 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 3: draining your energy. The scripture tells us to guard our minds. 108 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 3: You have to be proactive when it comes to keeping 109 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 3: your mind in peace, because all through the day there's clutter, 110 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 3: there's noise, there's jealousy, there's hurts. There's a fence. They 111 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 3: may come, but you don't have to hold on to it. 112 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 3: I saw a documentary about hoarders. These are people that 113 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 3: never throw anything away. And this one lady live by 114 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 3: herself in a two story house, but you couldn't get upstairs. 115 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 3: She had it so piled full of trash, old newspapers, 116 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 3: empty cereal boxes, cans from food that she had eaten 117 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 3: thirty years ago. There was a small path to the kitchen, 118 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 3: to the bathroom and to a little place to sleep, 119 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 3: big walls of trash on each side. You can imagine 120 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 3: how it smelled, how unhealthy it was. It got so 121 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 3: bad the authorities came to do an intervention. They knocked 122 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 3: on the front door, but she couldn't open it. They 123 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 3: went around to the side door, barely squeezed in. At 124 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 3: one point, this man picked up an old popsicle wrapper. 125 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 3: Looked like there were thousands piled up in the corner. 126 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 3: He asked if he could get rid of it. The 127 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 3: lady told how that belonged to her children, that it 128 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 3: meant something to her, and to put it back. It 129 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 3: seemed obvious to everyone all she was doing was keeping trash, 130 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: but she couldn't see it. She was so focused on 131 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 3: holding onto everything she didn't realize it was limiting her life. Now, 132 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 3: I wonder how many of us are hoarders in our minds. 133 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 3: We're not letting anything go. There's so much clutter we 134 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,239 Speaker 3: can enjoy our life. God has you hearing this because 135 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 3: he wants to do an intervention. He wants to help 136 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 3: you clear out the worry, the offense, the guilt, the bitterness, 137 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 3: those things that are cluttering your life. What's interesting is 138 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 3: the authorities didn't make her throw away the trash. It 139 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 3: was her choice, and eventually she decided to do it, 140 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,239 Speaker 3: but it wasn't easy. Everything in her said to hold 141 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 3: on to it. That's all she had known for years. 142 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 3: Living cluttered had become normal to her, and sometimes living 143 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 3: worried has become normal to us. We've done it for years. 144 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 3: Living guilty is what we're used to. We've gone around 145 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 3: thinking we don't deserve to be blessed. We've made too 146 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 3: many mistakes. We've let that recording place so long that 147 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 3: we've accepted it. Or maybe living inferior, feeling less than. 148 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 3: Perhaps that's how you were raised. Thoughts have always told 149 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 3: you you're not that talented, you're not attractive, you don't 150 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 3: have a good personality. We didn't know any better. We 151 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 3: believe those lies, and now our mind is cluttered. The 152 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 3: good news is this is your day for an intervention. 153 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 3: It is time to clear out the clutter those thoughts 154 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 3: that are telling you you're not up to par. You 155 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 3: need to say no, thank you. I am fearfully and 156 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 3: wonderfully made. I have royal blood flowing through my veins. 157 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 3: I'm wearing a crown of favor. Clear out the negative. 158 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 3: You have enough people in life against you. Don't be 159 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 3: against yourself. You've been made in the image of Almighty God. 160 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 3: God doesn't make any mistakes. He didn't make you faulty. 161 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 3: He calls you a masterpiece, a prize possession. My challenge, 162 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 3: don't say another negative word about yourself, dwelling on those 163 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 3: thoughts telling you what you're not. You are exactly how 164 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 3: you're supposed to be. You have been wonderfully made. Now 165 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 3: get in agreement with God. All through the day. This 166 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 3: recording should be playing in our mind. I'm a masterpiece. 167 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 3: I'm one of a kind. I'm talented, I'm attractive, I'm favored, 168 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 3: I'm empowered. I have seeds of greatness. When you dwell 169 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 3: on what God says about you, it will automatically clear 170 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 3: out the clutter. Fear can't stay where faith is. Discouragement 171 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 3: can't stay where hope is. Guilt can't stay where forgiveness is. 172 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 3: Mediocrity can't stay where greatness is. Program your mind with 173 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 3: what God says about you. But this lady had a 174 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 3: beautiful house she couldn't enjoy. She couldn't get upstairs because 175 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 3: of the trash. In the same way, if you don't 176 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 3: clear out the clutter, it will keep you from going 177 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 3: to new levels. Worry we'll keep you from rising higher living. 178 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 3: Guilty will keep you from pursuing dreams. Going around defended. 179 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 3: Bitter will keep you from new opportunities, won't you? All 180 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 3: these people hurt me, they did me wrong. That's why 181 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 3: I'm bitter. That's why I'm upset. That happened twenty seven 182 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 3: years ago. Why are you still holding on to it? 183 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 3: Why are you still sour over the person that walked away, 184 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 3: still upset over how you were raised, still bitter over 185 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 3: that company that lets you go. Don't be a hoarder. 186 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 3: Don't let that poison your future. They hurt you once, 187 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 3: don't let them continue to hurt you by holding onto it. 188 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 3: Recognize that's cluttering your mind, that's limiting your vision. And 189 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 3: I'm not saying what they did wasn't hurt. I'm not 190 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 3: making excuses for their behavior. But as long as you 191 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 3: hold on to it, you're giving them your power. You're 192 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 3: letting them control you. We only have so much emotional 193 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 3: energy each day. Do you know how much energy it 194 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 3: takes to hold a grudge, to be bitter, to go 195 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 3: around trying to pay people back. That is valuable energy 196 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 3: you need for your dreams, for your goals, for your children. 197 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 3: God said he will give you beauty for ashes. But 198 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 3: here's the key. You have to let go of the 199 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 3: ashes before you receive the beauty. You can't go around hurt, 200 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 3: living offended, upset and see the new things God has 201 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 3: in store. You have to clear out the clutter. That's 202 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 3: what makes room for God to give you the beauty. 203 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 3: The mistake we make sometimes is we think we have 204 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,599 Speaker 3: to get even we have to pay people back. No, 205 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 3: that's not your job. If you'll turn it over to God, 206 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 3: he'll be your vindicator. He'll bring justice into your life. 207 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 3: He saw every hurt, every wrong, every person that took 208 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 3: advantage of you. I've learned God will vindicate you better 209 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 3: than you can vindicate yourself. David said, God will prepare 210 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 3: a table before you in the presence of your enemies. 211 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 3: That means when God brings you out those people that 212 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 3: did you wrong, the people that tried to hold you back, 213 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 3: they will see you promoted, honored, in a position of influence. 214 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 3: God is not going to vindicate you in private. He's 215 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 3: going to do it in public, so your enemies see 216 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 3: you blessed, favored, successful. When my dad went to be 217 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 3: with the Lord and I stepped up to pastor the church, 218 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 3: I was very insecure. I had never ministered before. One Sunday, 219 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 3: right after I first started speaking, I was walking through 220 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 3: the front lobby and I overheard these two older ladies talking. 221 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 3: One said he's not as good as his father. The 222 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 3: other answered, yeah, I don't think he's going to make it. 223 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 3: That was the last thing I needed to hear. It 224 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 3: was like my worst nightmare. I was tempted to shrink 225 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 3: back and think I can't do this. Nobody's going to 226 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 3: listen to me. But I felt something rise up in 227 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 3: me so strongly I thought, who are they to tell 228 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 3: me what I can't do? They didn't breathe life into me. 229 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 3: They don't determine my destiny. They didn't know me before 230 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 3: I was formed in my mother's wound. I don't need 231 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 3: their approval. I don't have to have them to be 232 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 3: for me. I did what I'm asking you to do. 233 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 3: I cleared out the clutter, and every time their voices 234 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 3: came to my mind, I said, no thanks. I am 235 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 3: well able, I am strong in the Lord. God being 236 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 3: for me is more than the world being against me. 237 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 3: They still may not like me, but that's okay. When 238 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 3: they turn on the television, they probably see me. When 239 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 3: they're flipping through serious ACM they might hear me. What 240 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 3: was that God preparing a table in the presence of 241 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 3: my enemies When we were trying to acquire this building, 242 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 3: the former Compact Center, A well known business leader in 243 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 3: Houston told a friend of mine that it would be 244 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 3: a cold day in hell before Lakewood got the Compact Center. 245 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 3: He was very against us. The company we were up 246 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 3: against was much bigger, had many more resources. But God 247 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 3: stepped in and made things happen that we never could 248 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 3: make happen. And here we are today. But I can 249 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 3: imagine every time that man drives down the freeway sees 250 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 3: our building with the big lakewood sign, he must think 251 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 3: it's a cold day in hell, because here we are. 252 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,119 Speaker 3: What was that God honoring us in front of the opposition. 253 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 3: Now I'm not gloating over it, not too much anyway, 254 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 3: But here's my point. God knows how to vindicate you. 255 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 3: It would be one thing if he did it in private, 256 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 3: we would be grateful. But God is going to do 257 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 3: it in public. He's preparing a table in the presence 258 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 3: of your enemies. That means when you have opposition, when 259 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 3: you have trouble and things come against you, God has 260 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 3: a table there. The key is to don't fight with 261 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 3: the opposition. Don't live worried, upset, stressed out. No, take 262 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 3: a seat at the table God has prepared. If you 263 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 3: will stay in rest, then God will go to work. 264 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 3: But when you work, God rest. As long as you're uptight, worried, 265 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 3: trying to make it happen, only in your own strength, 266 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 3: it will limit what God will do. The Psalmist said, 267 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 3: be still and know that he is God. Clear out 268 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 3: the worry, clear out the negativity. Live from a place 269 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 3: of faith, a place of peace. God has you in 270 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 3: the palm of his hand. Nothing you're facing is a 271 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 3: surprise to him. He said to the Israelites, stand still, 272 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 3: and you will see the deliverance of the Lord. He 273 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 3: wasn't just talking about physically. He's talking about in their mind, 274 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 3: in their attitude, in their spirit. You may have plenty 275 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 3: of good reasons to live upset, worried, not able to 276 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 3: sleep at night. But when you're in peace, that's a 277 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 3: position of power. When you're in peace, you're showing God 278 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 3: that you trust him. Anyone can stay in faith when 279 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 3: everything's going our way. The test comes when the contract 280 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 3: doesn't go through, when your child is off course, when 281 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 3: the medical report is not good. It's easy to let 282 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 3: the clutter in. No, be still, that's the time to 283 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 3: show God that you trust him, not just with your words, 284 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 3: but with your actions. See the inner Iman's main target 285 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 3: is our mind. That's the control center for our life. 286 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 3: If he can keep it cluttered, filled with doubt, what 287 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 3: if it doesn't work out Joel, what if my health 288 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 3: doesn't improve, What if I don't meet the right person. 289 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 3: As long as our mind is cluttered, it keeps God 290 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 3: from turning it around. God works where there's faith. In 291 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,719 Speaker 3: Second Chronicles thirty two, the king of Syria had a 292 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 3: huge army. They had invaded that whole region, conquering all 293 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 3: these large fortified cities by tearing down the walls and 294 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 3: capturing the people. The city of Jerusalem was next in line. 295 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 3: Word quickly spread throughout the Israelite camp. The people begin 296 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 3: to panic, so worried, thinking what are we going to do? 297 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 3: They're so much bigger than us. King Hezekiah said to 298 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 3: the Israelites in verse seven, don't be afraid of this 299 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 3: mighty army, for there is a power far on our side. 300 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 3: They may have a great army, but they are just men. 301 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 3: We have the Lord, our God, to fight our battles 302 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 3: for us. When you face big enemies, big oppositions, you 303 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 3: have to remind yourself our God is bigger than the cancer. 304 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 3: He's bigger than the addiction. He's bigger than the people 305 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 3: that are trying to stop you. The way to stay 306 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 3: in faith is don't talk about how big the problem is. 307 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 3: Talk about how big your God is. He flung stars 308 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 3: into space, he spoke worlds into existence. He healed my 309 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 3: mother of terminal cancer. He gave us the compact center. 310 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 3: The good news is right now, he's breathing in your direction. 311 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 3: He's pushing back forces of darkness. He's lining up the 312 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 3: breaks that you need. Don't let fear clutter your mind. 313 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 3: Don't let doubt keep you from your miracle. Don't let 314 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 3: people talk you out of your dreamsing of Siria sent 315 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 3: a letter to the Israelites threatening them. It's said, we've 316 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 3: conquered all these cities, We've captured all these people. None 317 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 3: of their God saved them. What makes you think your 318 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 3: God is going to save you. The enemy will always 319 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 3: try to defeat you first in your thoughts, things like 320 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 3: you'll never get well. Your grandmother died of the same thing. 321 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 3: You'll never break the addiction, that problem will never turn around. 322 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 3: Don't believe those lies. He wouldn't be telling you that 323 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 3: unless he knew it was on the way. Do like Hezekiah. Yes, 324 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 3: this problem may be big, but I know a secret. 325 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 3: My God is much bigger. He's on the throne, he 326 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 3: has the final say. What he started in my life 327 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 3: he will finish. Had Hezekiah not been proactive to guard 328 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 3: his mind and to speak victory to the people, they 329 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 3: would to all panic, lived in fear. Instead, they stayed 330 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 3: in peace. Verse twenty one says, God send an angel 331 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 3: that destroyed the whole enemy army. That king went home 332 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 3: in disgrace, returned to his land. God knows how to 333 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 3: vindicate you. He knows how to turn the problem around. 334 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 3: One angel wiped out the whole bunch. Now stay in faith. 335 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 3: When you're attempted to worry, turn it into worship. Father, 336 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 3: Thank you that your angels are working in my life. 337 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 3: Thank you that no weapon formed against me will prosper. 338 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 3: Thank you that the trap the enemy set for me, 339 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 3: they will fall in themselves. If we're gonna keep the 340 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 3: clutter out, we have to know what's our job and 341 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 3: what's God's job. Sometimes we're frustrated because we're trying to 342 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 3: do what only God can do. You can't make yourself 343 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 3: get well, Make somebody do what's right, make a door open. 344 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 3: Our part is to believe. Our part is to stay 345 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 3: in faith and then let God do his part. Trust 346 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 3: him to work it out. Hezekiah could have thought, I 347 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 3: know God's on my side. I'm going to go attack 348 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 3: this army, show them who they're dealing with. We wouldn't 349 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 3: be reading about it. I'm not saying to always sit 350 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 3: back and be passive, but there are some battles you're 351 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 3: not supposed to find. Let God fight them for you. 352 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 3: Even with the Compact Center, we had a three year 353 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 3: legal battle, and yes we did what we could, but 354 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 3: we recognize God, this is too big for us. Only 355 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 3: you can make this happen. So we're going to be 356 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 3: still and know that you are God. Like with Hezekiah, 357 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 3: God stepped in and made things happen that we could 358 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 3: have never made happen. But while you're waiting for things 359 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 3: to change, that's a test. It's easy to live worried, 360 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 3: focused on your problem, thinking about how it's never going 361 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 3: to work out. Oh, clear out that clutter. Isaiah said, 362 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 3: if you'll keep if your mind stayed on him, God 363 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 3: will keep you in perfect peace. Our part is to 364 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 3: keep our mind on him. God. Thank you that you're 365 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 3: in control. Thank you that you are for me. Thank 366 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 3: you that your destiny for my life will come to pass. 367 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 3: If we do our part. God will do his part. 368 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 3: He'll not only keep you in peace, but he'll get 369 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 3: you to where you're supposed to be. In the scripture, 370 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 3: there were three Hebrew teenagers that were about to be 371 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 3: thrown into a fiery furnace because they wouldn't bow down 372 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 3: to the king's golden idol. The king threatened them one 373 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 3: last time. They said, King, we're still not going to 374 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 3: bow down. We know our God will deliver us. They 375 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 3: had this attitude of faith, but what they said next 376 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 3: was the real key. They went on to say, even 377 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 3: if he doesn't deliver us, we're still not going to 378 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 3: bow down. That's a powerful position. When you can say 379 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 3: I'm going to stay in peace if it works out 380 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 3: my way, and I'm going to stay in peace if 381 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 3: it doesn't work out my way, then you take away 382 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 3: all the power of the enemy. If you're only going 383 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 3: to be happy if it happens your way, you're setting 384 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 3: yourself up for disappointment. Why don't you take this next step? God, 385 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 3: this is what i'm believing for, this is what I want. 386 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 3: But God, you know what's best for me. And if 387 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 3: it doesn't happen my way, I'm still going to stay 388 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 3: in peace. I'm still going to have a song of praise. 389 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 3: I'm still going to be good to people. That's what 390 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 3: allows God to do amazing things. But there's a lot 391 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 3: of noise these days. There's a lot of drama things 392 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 3: that we can get pulled into. Worry, conflict, jealousy. That 393 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 3: may be all around us, but it doesn't have to 394 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 3: get in us. Pay attention to what you're allowing in 395 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 3: your spirit. Just because there's conflict with your relatives doesn't 396 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 3: mean it has to get in you. Don't take that bait. 397 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 3: Stay on the high road. Maybe at the office you 398 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 3: could be frustrated people are playing politics, not treating you right. 399 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 3: It's easy to let that sour your day. Come home negative, 400 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 3: no clear out that clutter. Your time is too valuable 401 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 3: to live it upset, bitter. This day is a gift 402 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 3: from God. Once we live it, we can never get 403 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 3: it back. And sometimes we've become so hooked on drama, 404 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 3: so used to living up tight, worrying about this situation, 405 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 3: putting out this fire, fighting with this relative. We've forgotten 406 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 3: what it's like to be in peace, to not have 407 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 3: all that clutter. That is not the way God created us. 408 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 3: In the garden of Eden, before they ate the forbidden fruit, 409 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 3: there wasn't any noise, any drama, any jealousy, backstabbing politics. 410 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 3: It was peaceful, joyful, And no it's not like that now. 411 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 3: But you can choose to live from a place of peace. 412 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 3: You don't have to let the outside get on the inside. 413 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 3: Maybe you become comfortable with the clutter like this lady. 414 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 3: You don't recognize that it's limiting your vision, that is 415 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 3: blocking your potential. Not only that it doesn't smell good. 416 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 3: Worry doesn't look good on you. Living guilty, bitter, offended, angry. 417 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 3: That is not your style. Clear out that clutter and 418 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 3: you'll step into new levels. I read where a sheep 419 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 3: won't give birth in a noisy place. When it's about 420 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 3: to go into labor, it will leave the flock, get 421 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 3: away from all the commotion, all the busyness, and find 422 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 3: a quiet place. In that peaceful atmosphere, it will give birth. 423 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 3: In the same way, you won't give birth to your 424 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 3: dreams in a noisy place. You won't give birth to 425 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 3: that breakthrough you're believing for, or if you're worried, if 426 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 3: your mind is stressed, you won't give birth to your potential. 427 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 3: If your mind is full of hurts, regrets, bitterness, You 428 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 3: may wonder why God is not doing anything. Perhaps He's 429 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 3: waiting for you to find a quiet place. And it 430 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 3: may be noisy all around you, But in your mind 431 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 3: you can be in peace when you know God is 432 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 3: in control, when you know he's directing your steps, when 433 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 3: you know nothing can stand against him, then you can 434 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 3: live out of a quiet place. David said, God makes 435 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 3: me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me 436 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,719 Speaker 3: by the still waters. You could think David had an 437 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 3: easy life. Everything must have gone his way he lived 438 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 3: in the green pastures. It was just the opposite. David's 439 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 3: life was full of difficulties. People trying to stop him, 440 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 3: armies trying to defeat him. His own family didn't believe 441 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 3: in him. Yet He's said I lie down in green 442 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 3: pastures by still waters. He wasn't just talking about physically, 443 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 3: he was talking about in his mind. Despite all that 444 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 3: came against him, he chose to live in a place 445 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 3: of peace. God is saying to you, come into the 446 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 3: green pastures, come by the still waters. You don't have 447 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 3: to carry all that clutter. It's time to get rid 448 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 3: of the offense, the hurts, the guilt, the anger. There 449 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 3: are some new things God wants you to birth. You 450 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 3: know where You're going to birth them, by the still waters. 451 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 3: If you'll be still, you will know he is God. 452 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 3: You will see him show out in your life. I'm 453 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 3: asking us to unclutter our minds. Living guilty is not 454 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 3: your destiny. Going around down on yourself, thinking problems are 455 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 3: too big is not who you were created to be. 456 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 3: Empty out the negative and program your mind with what 457 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 3: God says about you. If you'll do this, I believe 458 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 3: and declare You're going to give birth to dreams, to promotion, 459 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 3: to healing, to breakthroughs. God is going to defeat enemies 460 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 3: much bigger open doors that you couldn't open, and take 461 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 3: you to the fullness of your destiny. In Jesus' name, 462 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 3: if you receive it, can you say em in today? 463 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 3: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 464 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 3: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 465 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 3: Just say Lord, Jesus, I repit of my sins, Come 466 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 3: into my heart. I'll make you my lord and savior. Friends, 467 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 3: if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 468 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 3: born again.
