1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Jolan Victorium. Thanks so much for listening

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: to the podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. We

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: believe you're going to have an awesome twenty twenty four, healthy, productive,

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: and favor filled. God bless you today and enjoy the message.

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: Oh bless you. It's great to be with you today,

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: and I hope you'll stay connected with us during the

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: week through our daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media.

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: We'll keep you encouraged and inspired. I'd like to start

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: with something funny. And one day Adam was feeling very lonely.

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: God said, Adam, I'm gonna make you a companion. It's

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: going to be called a woman. This person will cook

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: for you, wash your clothes. She will bear your children,

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: never ask you to get up in the middle of

14
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: the night. She will always agree with you. If you

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: do have a disagreement, she'll be the first one to

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: admit she was wrong. Adam said, wow, God, what will

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: a woman like this cost? God said an arm and

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: a leg. Adam said, what can I get for a rib?

19
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: And the rest is history. Come on, all the men said, amen,

20
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: are you ready? This is my Bible. I am what

21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: it says, I am. I have what it says I have,

22
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: I can do what it says I can do. Today

23
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly

24
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you today about dealing with

27
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: negative thoughts. No matter how good of a person you are,

28
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: how much faith you have, you'll never get to the

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: place where negative thoughts don't come. Discouraging thoughts. Your dream

30
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: is never going to come to pass. You'll never meet

31
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: the right person it would have happened by now. Thoughts

32
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: of wordy, The medical reports not good. Your child is

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: off course, business is slowing down. What are you going

34
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: to do? The enemy's main tools are deception and lies.

35
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: Your mind is the bullseye of his target. If he

36
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: can control your thinking, he can control your life. You

37
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: can't stop negative thoughts from coming. But here's the key.

38
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: Just because the thought comes doesn't mean you have to

39
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: think it. You control the doorway to your mind. You're

40
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: in charge of what you give access to. That's why

41
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: the scripture tells us to guard our minds. Be selective

42
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: in what you allow in. If the thought is negative, discouraging,

43
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: bringing worry, fear, do yourself a favor. Don't let it in.

44
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: It's not complicated, don't dwell on it, don't give it

45
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: the time of day. But too often, when these negative

46
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: thoughts come, we don't think twice. We just allow them

47
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: access go around, worried, discouraged, intimidated. Start paying attention to

48
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: what you're dwelling on when discouraging thoughts come. Nothing good

49
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: is in your future. Why do you have your hopes up?

50
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna be disappointed again. Before you dwell on that,

51
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: before you let it take route, Ask yourself, where is

52
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: this thought coming from. If it's not positive, hopeful, encouraging,

53
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: it's not from God. That's the enemy doing what he

54
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: does best, trying to plant negative seeds, fearful seeds inferior seeds.

55
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: God said here in Isaiah, if you'll keep your mind

56
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: stayed on me, I will keep you in perfect peace.

57
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: What is your mind stayed on? What are you dwelling

58
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: on throughout the day, Joel? Have you watched the news?

59
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: Interest rates going up, the recession, the stock market. I'm worried.

60
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: Those are all valid thoughts. I'm not saying to deny reality.

61
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying, be selective in what you dwell on. The

62
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: right approach is yes, there's a lot of uncertainty. I

63
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: don't know how it's all going to turn out. But God,

64
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: I know you're my provider. You take care of the

65
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: birds of the air, feed and clothe them, You're going

66
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: to take care of me. Steady, keeping your mind stayed

67
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: on your problems, stayed on the news, stay on doubt,

68
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: stay don worry, keep it stayed on what God promised you.

69
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: Here's a simple principle. When a negative thought comes, erase

70
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: it and replace it. It's not enough to just not

71
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: think negative because once you dismiss it, once you make

72
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: that decision, I'm not dwelling on that. I'm not letting

73
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: that worry in. That's good. The problem is it'll come

74
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: back in a few seconds. Once you erase the negative,

75
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: replace it with a positive thought. Don't leave your mind empty.

76
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: The thought comes nothing goods in your future. Dismiss it,

77
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: don't give it the time of day. Then take the

78
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: next step. Father, you promised the path of the righteous.

79
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: My path is getting brighter and brighter. You said, my

80
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: latter days will be better than my former days. Thoughts

81
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: come it's problems too big, the opposition too strong, you'll

82
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: never get past it. You can let that play and

83
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: live defeated, discouraged, intimidated, or you can replace it with

84
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: what God says. Father, you said, when the enemy comes

85
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: against me one way, you would defeat them and cause

86
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: them to flee seven different ways. And yes, this may

87
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: be too big for me, but I know it's not

88
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: too big for you. Or how about when these never

89
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 1: lies come lies it tell you you'll never get well,

90
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: never meet the right person, never get out of debt.

91
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: Don't let that play in your mind. If you do,

92
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: you're defeating yourself. That's keeping you from seeing God's favor.

93
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: Erase it. That's the first step. Not dwelling on that anymore.

94
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: Then take the next step and replace it. Father, Thank

95
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: you that what you started in my life you will finish.

96
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: What I'm up against is not permanent. I know this

97
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: too shall pass. Breakthroughs are coming, healing is coming, freedom

98
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: is coming, victory is coming. Get your mind going in

99
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: the right direction, and your life will go in the

100
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: right direction. You're going to draw in what you're constantly

101
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: thinking about. If you're thinking, can't do it, thoughts, I'm

102
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: not enough. This problem's too big. You're drawing in defeat.

103
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,559
Speaker 1: That's making you weaker. Your gifts are being pushed down,

104
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: your faith is being diminished. Why don't you try it

105
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: erasing and replacing. How much further will you go? How

106
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: much happier will you live? How much more of God's

107
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: favor will you see? If you'll guard your mind, if

108
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: you'll be selective in what you're dwelling on, if you'll

109
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: keep it stayed on him. Joshua will put it this way,

110
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: if you will meditate on God's word, you will prosper

111
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: and have good success. Meditate means to think about over

112
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: and over. Really, worry is meditating. It's letting the negative

113
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: play again and again. Some people have this principle down.

114
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: They're professional worriers. The problem is they're meditating on the

115
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: wrong things. They're letting the negative continually plain. Why don't

116
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: you switch what you're meditating on. It doesn't take any

117
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: more energy to believe than it does to worry. This

118
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: one small tweak can make a life changing difference. Instead

119
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: of going through the day worried about your future, wondering

120
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: how you're going to make it a small tweak, Father,

121
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: thank you that you have me in the palm of

122
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: your hand. I know you're ordering my steps. You said,

123
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: no good thing, will you withhold because I walk up rightly. Now.

124
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: Instead of your thoughts defeating you, draining your energy, limiting

125
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: your future, You're using your thoughts to encourage you, to

126
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: empower you to build your faith. Joel, I'm worried about

127
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: my child. He's off course, running with the wrong crowd.

128
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: That's why I can't sleep at night. That's why I'm upset. Now.

129
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: I know that's difficult. I know how much you love

130
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: your children, But worrying is not making it better. Living

131
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: stressed is not helping him or you. The reason you

132
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: don't have peace is your mind is stayed on the problem.

133
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: Your mind is stayed on what's not working out. God said,

134
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: if you'll make a switch, if you'll keep your mind

135
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: stayed on me, if you'll think positive, hopeful, faithful thoughts,

136
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: then I'll give you peace in the midst of the problem.

137
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: Instead of dwelling on all the negative what might happen.

138
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: Why don't you use that same energy to meditate on

139
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: what God promised you. Father, you said, my children are

140
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: mighty in the land. You said, the seed of the

141
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: righteous is blessed that as for me and my house,

142
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: we will serve the Lord. Negative thoughts are going to come.

143
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: But if you'll learn this principle to erase and replace,

144
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: you won't give into the worry, the fear, the discouragement.

145
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: You wake up in the morning thoughts sometimes whisper it's

146
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: going to be a lousy day. Have so many problems.

147
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: I don't feel like dealing with these children. You can

148
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: either dwell on that, believe that it's true. You'll go

149
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: around discouraged. It'll become a reality you'll have a lousy day.

150
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: But a better approach is to say no, thanks. I'm

151
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: not going to dwell on those discouraging thoughts. They came

152
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: to my mind, but I know I control the doorway.

153
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: I don't have to allow them in. I'm going to

154
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: erase them and replace them with some better thoughts. This

155
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: is going to be a great day. Father. Thank you

156
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: that I'm alive. Thank you that you woke me up

157
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: this morning. Thank you that I'm healthy. Thank you that

158
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: you have a bright future in store for me. What's

159
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: playing in your mind? What do you giving access to?

160
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: Paul said in Philippians, think on things that are positive

161
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: things that are wholesome, things that are of a good report.

162
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: You can't think negative and have a positive life. You

163
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: can't think sickness and get well. You can't think lack

164
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: and have abundance. The battle is taking place in our mind.

165
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: Be selective of what you allow in. Imagine someone showed

166
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: up at your house, knocked on your front door. You

167
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: opened it and there was this stranger. He was carrying

168
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: an axe, a hammer, a rifle, a bag of poison,

169
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: all these harmful, dangerous things. You wouldn't say, hey, come

170
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: on in, thank yourself at home, good to see, got

171
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: some food in the fridge. You wouldn't think twice. You

172
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: would tell him you are not welcome here. You need

173
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: to get off my property. You would shut the door, dead,

174
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: vault it, make sure that he left. Well. Your mind

175
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: is your house, It's where you live. There's nothing more valuable,

176
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: more important, more sacred. Why are you letting destructive thoughts in?

177
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: Why are you letting fear roam around? Why are you

178
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: letting worry have free reign? Why are you allowing doubt?

179
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: You can't do it. It's never going to work out.

180
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: To have a seat on your couch, that's your property.

181
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: You have complete control over what you let in. No,

182
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: you can't stop it from coming. It may knock on

183
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: the door, but you don't have to give it access.

184
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: Next time's fear knocks. You never get well. You saw

185
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: the report. This sickness is the end. Why don't you

186
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: say no, thanks, You're not welcome here. I will live

187
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: and not die. God is restoring health back unto me.

188
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: When fear knocks, let faith answer. Next time doubt shows up, man,

189
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: it's too big. It's never going to work out. You

190
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: don't have the connections. Just say sorry, doubt. You have

191
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: the wrong address. There's no place for you here when

192
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: insecurity comes knocking. You're not good enough, You're not attractive,

193
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: you don't have a good personality. Nobody wants to be

194
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: around you. Don't you dare let those thoughts in your

195
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: attitude should be get off my property. You're not welcome here.

196
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: I know who I am. I'm a masterpiece. I'm one

197
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: of a kind. I'm made in the image of God.

198
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: I'm crowned with favor. I'm wearing a robe of righteousness.

199
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: I have been fearfully and wonderfully made. Start closing the

200
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: door to the negative. Close the door to these destructive, limiting,

201
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: defeating thoughts. But sometimes we believe them so long they

202
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: become a part of who we are. We didn't know

203
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: any better. It's how we were raised. We opened the door,

204
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: and now it's like they've taken up residents. They have

205
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: their own room. Imagine Fear, worry, doubt, insecurity living in

206
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: your house, dragging you down, stealing your joy, taking your peace.

207
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: That may be the way it's been, but this is

208
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: going to be a new day. It's time to do

209
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: some house cleaning. You need to evict some tenants that

210
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: have been living in your mind. The good news is

211
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: you're in charge. They may seem bigger, stronger, more powerful,

212
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: but you determine what stays in your mind. You need

213
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: to tell Fear you're evicted. You're not welcome here anymore.

214
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm not living afraid of what might happen. My future

215
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: is in God's hands. Nothing can stand against him. You

216
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: need to tell Worry you've been with me long enough. Sorry,

217
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: you've lost your lease. Tell Doubt your time is up.

218
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: Got some new rules you have to go tell Insecurity, sorry,

219
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: no more place for you. You're out of here. See you,

220
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be you all that negative that's

221
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: weighing you down, limited in your future. Why don't you

222
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: serve some ediction notices? Keep your mind positive, hopeful, full

223
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: of faith, expecting good things, believing to overcome, trusting God

224
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: to do what only he can do. Here's what I've learned.

225
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: When your mind is filled with the positive, there's no

226
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: room for the negative. When you're full of faith, praise, gratitude,

227
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: believing for the best. When the negative comes, you don't

228
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: even answer the door. You don't pay it any attention.

229
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: Fear knocks, but there's a no vacancy sign. Can't they

230
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: hear me? No, this mind is full of faith. Complaining knocks, discouragement. Sorry,

231
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: no vacancy. This mind is full of praise. Father, Thank

232
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: you for what you've done. Thank you for fighting my battles.

233
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: Thank you for surrounding me with your favor when worry comes?

234
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: What about these gas prices? Did you see the news? Inflation? Recession? Sorry,

235
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: no vacancy, Father, Thank you that you're Jehovah Jairah, the

236
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: Lord by provider. The economy is not my source, God,

237
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: You're my source. I know I'm connected to a supply

238
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: line that will never run dry. This is not just

239
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: being positive. This is releasing your faith. This is what

240
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: allows God to do awesome things when your mind has

241
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: stayed on him. You're going to have peace in the

242
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: middle of a pandemic, favor in the famine, strengthen the

243
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: storm going up when you should be going down. What's

244
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: playing in your mind? Are there some tenants you need

245
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: to event Are there destructive, discouraging thoughts that you need

246
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: to stop allowing in. That's what my mother had to do.

247
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: You know her story. She was diagnosed with terminal liver

248
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: cancer in nineteen eighty one, given a few weeks to live.

249
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: She was only forty six years old. She'd been perfectly healthy,

250
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: always active, working in the yard, pastoring the church with

251
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: my father, traveling the world. Suddenly she gets this terrible news.

252
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: She became so frail, she weighed eighty nine pounds, her

253
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: skin was very yellow. The doctor said there was nothing

254
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: more they could do. You can imagine the thoughts that

255
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: came knocking at her door. This is it, man, You're done.

256
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: Make plans for your funeral. The middle of the night,

257
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: when she couldn't sleep, the thought came, you can be

258
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: buried in that new pink dress that you just bought.

259
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: My mother had good reasons to feel worried, afraid, hopeless,

260
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: But she understood this principle. When fear knocked, she didn't

261
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: let it in. When worry knocked, it's over quit believing,

262
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: she said, you're not welcome here. When doubt knocked, you

263
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: heard the report. They're the best doctors in the world.

264
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: There's nothing more they can do. She said, no, thanks,

265
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: there's no room for you in my thinking. She guarded

266
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: her mind. She was extremely selective of what she allowed in.

267
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: She knew she was in a fight. She wasn't about

268
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: to give her valuable real estate her mind any room

269
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: for negative, discouraging, defeating thoughts. When you're in a battle,

270
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: when forces are coming against you in a great way,

271
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: that's when you'll be the most tempted to believe the lies,

272
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 1: get discouraged. It's never going to work out. Just accept it.

273
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: More than ever. You need to close the door. Don't

274
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: give those lies access. You need all your energy to believe,

275
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: to stay strong, to have faith, to overcome what's trying

276
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: to stop you. Be diligent. The scripture says give no

277
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: place to the enemy. That means don't give him any

278
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,479
Speaker 1: rooms in your house. Don't give him any place in

279
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: your thinking. My mother didn't just erase the negative thoughts,

280
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: but she replaced them with God's word. The best defense

281
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: is a good offense. She kept her mind filled with

282
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: God's promises all through the day. I would hear her

283
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: quoting scripture, I will live and not die. God is

284
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: restoring health back into me. With long life, he will

285
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: satisfy me. If you leave your mind empty, it's going

286
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: to naturally gravitate toward the negative, especially when you're in

287
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: different caught times. That's when you need to be very

288
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: disciplined in what you allow in and on purpose think

289
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: thoughts of hope, faith, healing, victory. A friend of mine

290
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: was diagnosed with cancer, and he was a professional football player,

291
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: and he had to stop playing to take the treatment.

292
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: He could have been discouraged, given up on his dreams,

293
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: but his attitude was this illness is not going to

294
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: defeat me. It's just a bump in the road. I

295
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: will play football again. I will accomplish my God given dreams.

296
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: He was so disciplined to guard his mind. He wouldn't

297
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: let anyone use the word cancer in his house. He

298
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: told his family, his friends, even as doctors, he didn't

299
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: want them speaking that word over him. He didn't want

300
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: it down in his spirit, even when he was taking

301
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: chemo the whole time, Father, thank you that I am healed,

302
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: that this too shall pass. That greater is he that's

303
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: in me than what's trying to stop me. Two years later,

304
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: against all odds, he was back in the league, playing

305
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: professional football. Thoughts told him all the reasons it would

306
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: never happen, but he didn't answer the door. He gave

307
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: no place to the enemy. Don't let those lives take root,

308
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: don't give them access by believing them. Dwell on what

309
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: God says about you. My mother kept doing. This didn't

310
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: happen overnight, but little by little she got better and better.

311
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: Medical science even tells us that when people are positive, hopeful,

312
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: they believe they'll get well, they're much more likely to

313
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: recover than those who are negative and discourage. My mother

314
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: is eighty eight years old today, healthy, whole, strong, from

315
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: a few weeks to live to forty two years later.

316
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: God has the final say, why don't you get in

317
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: agreement with him? Won't let those lives play in your mind?

318
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: Start erasing them and didn't take the next replace them

319
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: with faith filled, favor filled, victorious thoughts. Here's another key.

320
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: You're moving toward what you're constantly thinking about. This can

321
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: be helpful or it can be harmful. What are you

322
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: thinking about your future? Joel? I never get any good breaks. Man.

323
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: This pandemic has set me back, and I wish I

324
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: had more talent. You're moving toward defeat, lack, mediocrity. Try

325
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 1: a new approach. Favor is in my future. Good breaks

326
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: are chasing me down. The right people are headed my way. Father,

327
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: Thank you that the best part of my life is

328
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: still in front of me. When you think like that,

329
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: you're moving toward favor, increase, open doors, abundance. What do

330
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,719
Speaker 1: you think about your health? I've had this addiction for years.

331
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: Everyone in my family struggles with depression. I'll never get

332
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: back in shape. That's moving you in the wrong direction.

333
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: Change starts in your thinking. How about this approach. This

334
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: addiction is not permanent. Chains that have held me back

335
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: are being broken. I am free, I am whole, I

336
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: am healthy, I am in shape, I am attractive. I

337
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: am full of energy, vitality, and strength. My youth is

338
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: being renewed like the eagles. Get your mind going in

339
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: the right direction. Your life is going to follow your thoughts.

340
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: Scripture says in colostions, set your mind and keep it

341
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: set at the start of the day. You need to

342
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: set your mind when you get out of bed. Father,

343
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: thank you for the gift of this day to another

344
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: day you've made. I'm gonna choose to be happy. I'm

345
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: going to see the best. I'm going to be a

346
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: blessing to others. I'm gonna live this day to the full.

347
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: If you don't set your mind, the enemy will set

348
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: it for you. You'll wake up and think about all your problems,

349
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: everything you've done wrong. I'll never break this addiction. I

350
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: should have eaten better yesterday. I can't believe that coworker

351
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: was rude to me. Don't start the day off negative.

352
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 1: Don't bring yesterday's trouble, yesterday's disappointment, yesterday's failures into the day.

353
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: Start the day afresh and a new The Psalm has

354
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: said God's mercies are new every morning, not every afternoon,

355
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: not every evening. Each morning, receive the new mercy. How

356
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: you start the day, many times, will determine what kind

357
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: of day it's going to be. Don't ever start the

358
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: day in neutral. Don't wait to see what kind of

359
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: day it's going to be. Determine what kind of day

360
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: it's going to be. Make up your mind, this is

361
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: going to be a great day. I'm gonna be productive today.

362
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna enjoy my family. I'm gonna honor God. I'm

363
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: grateful to be alive. That's setting your mind, that's making

364
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: plans for a blessed day. Goes on to say keep

365
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: it set. That implies things are going to happen that

366
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: will try to unset it. Challenges, delays, people that are rude,

367
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: doors that close. You can't stop that from happening, but

368
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: you can choose to not let it get on the

369
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: inside when worry comes. Now, my mind is set. God

370
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: is set on the throne. He's in control of my life.

371
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: When a fence comes, you can get upset, live bitter. No,

372
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: God is my vindicator. He's fighting my battles. Contract didn't

373
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: go through, you didn't get the position. You could be

374
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: down disappointed, But your mind is set. God. I trust you.

375
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: I know you wouldn't have closed this door unless you

376
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: had something better in store. Don't let the challenges during

377
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: the day unset your mind. Keep it set, keep it

378
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: stayed on him, keep it full of praise. Keep expecting

379
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: good things, keep believing for what God promised you. I

380
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: talked to a man that was moving to Houston from

381
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 1: another city, and he got a promotion that he'd been

382
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: believing for for a long time. Was a dream come true.

383
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: They had to sell their house before they could buy

384
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: a house here. The problem was the real estate market

385
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: in their city was very depressed. Hardly anything was selling

386
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: on his street along there were four houses for sale,

387
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: many more in the neighborhood. Thoughts came telling them all

388
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: the reasons why their house wouldn't sell, The job wouldn't

389
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: work out, market saw too much inventory. This isn't the

390
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: right time. They were tempted to get discouraged, not think

391
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: that could happened, but they understood this principle. When doubt not,

392
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: they said, no, thanks, you're not welcome here. Thoughts of

393
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: worry came. What if it doesn't work out? What if

394
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: you missed this great opportunity? What if you can't move?

395
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: They said, sorry, worry, you don't belong here. We don't

396
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: have space for you. They kept their mind filled with faith. Father,

397
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: we know you can make a way where we don't

398
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: see away. Thank you Lord, that you're causing our property

399
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: to stand out that your fever surrounds us like a shield.

400
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: Real estate agent told them, on average it was taken

401
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: over a year for properties to sell. To not get

402
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: their hopes up. All the facts said it would be

403
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: months and months, But two weeks after they put the

404
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: house on the market is sold for full price. They

405
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: met with the new owners and asked why they chose

406
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: their house out of all the others. They said, we

407
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: looked at over thirty properties, but when we walked in yours,

408
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: something just felt right. We knew it was supposed to

409
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: be ours. God knows how to bring the right people

410
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: to you. He knows how to open doors you can't open.

411
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: He knows how to turn your child around, how to

412
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: free you from that addiction. Don't believe those lies that

413
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: it's not going to happen. It's too late, the odds

414
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: are against you. Just say no, thanks, You're not welcome here.

415
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep my mind stayed on him. Are

416
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: your thoughts limiting you or are your thoughts empowering you?

417
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: Are you thinking thoughts of defeat, worry, can't do it?

418
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: Or are you thinking thoughts of victory, favor, breakthroughs, abundance.

419
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: There's a battle taking place in your thinking. I'm asking

420
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: you to start closing the door to the negative. You

421
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: control the access. Be selective, don't just let anything in

422
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: wrong thinking will keep you from your destiny. Start erasing

423
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: and replacing. Erase the negative, don't give it the time

424
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: of day. Replace it with God's word, with positive, faith

425
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: filled thoughts. If you'll do this, I believe and declare,

426
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: because your mind is stayed on him, You're going to

427
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: have more peace, more joy, more favor. Forces that have

428
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: held you back are being broken right now. You're about

429
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: to rise higher, accomplish dreams, and go further than you've imagined.

430
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: I declare it in the name of Jesus, and if

431
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: you receive it, when you say amen, I'd like to

432
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: give you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of

433
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 1: your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord Jesus,

434
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: I'll repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I

435
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: make you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that

436
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. We'd love

437
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: to send you some free information on your new walk

438
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 1: with the Lord. You can text the number go to

439
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: the website. I hope you'll get into a good Bible

440
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: based church and keep God first place.

441
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 2: God has put a specific dream in your heart. Maybe

442
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 2: it's a dream for a better career, a blessing that

443
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 2: enables you to bless others, to be in a healthy,

444
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 2: loving relationship, to launch your own business or ministry endeavor.

445
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 2: We all have dreams, but sometimes set backs and opposition

446
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 2: can rob us of our dreams. So how do you

447
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 2: make your dreams a reality?

448
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: One way you know it's a God given dream is

449
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: you can't accomplish it on your own. We never thought

450
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: we'd be having church in a former basketball arena, But

451
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: this is what can happen when you take the limits

452
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: off of God.
