Speaker 5: and if you're ever in our area, please stop by.
Speaker 7: And be a part of one of our services.
Speaker 5: I promise you we'll make you feel right at home.
Speaker 5: But thanks so much for tuning in and thank you
Speaker 5: again for coming out. I like to start with something funny,
Speaker 5: and I heard about this elderly couple. They were sitting
Speaker 5: in a swing celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary. Feeling romantic,
Speaker 5: the husband said to his wife, oh, dear, our love
Speaker 5: is tried and true. His wife had difficulty hearing it
Speaker 5: and ask him to repeat it. He said it louder,
Speaker 5: I said, our love is tried and true.
Speaker 7: She still couldn't hear him. Said what would you? Please
Speaker 7: speak up?
Speaker 5: Frustrated he shouted, I said, our love is tried and true.
Speaker 7: She said, well fine, I'm sick of you too. Hold
Speaker 7: up your bible. Why is that funny to me? Hold
Speaker 7: up your bible? Say it like you mean it. This
Speaker 7: is my Bible. I am what it says.
Speaker 3: I am.
Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do
Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be
Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind
Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be
Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want
Speaker 5: to talk to you today about reprogramming your mind.
Speaker 7: Our mind is like a computer.
Speaker 5: How we program it is the way it's going to function.
Speaker 5: You can have the most powerful computer made, the latest, fastest,
Speaker 5: holds the most memory. But if you put the wrong
Speaker 5: software in it.
Speaker 7: It's not going to function like it was designed.
Speaker 5: And we've all had to deal with these computer viruses.
Speaker 5: They can get into a perfectly good computer and start
Speaker 5: to contaminate the software. Before long, the computer is slowed,
Speaker 5: you can't access your files.
Speaker 7: All these problems occur.
Speaker 5: Not because it's defective, it's poorly made. No, the hardware
Speaker 5: is fine. It's because somebody we program the software. How
Speaker 5: the insides got messed up. Now the software is contaminated
Speaker 5: in the same way. When God created you, he stepped
Speaker 5: back and said, another masterpiece.
Speaker 7: Your hardware is perfect.
Speaker 5: You're the right size, the right nationality, you have the
Speaker 5: right gifts. Not only that, God put the right software
Speaker 5: in you from the very beginning. He programmed you to
Speaker 5: be victorious, healthy, strong, creative. Your original software says you
Speaker 5: can do all.
Speaker 7: Things through Christ.
Speaker 5: He programmed whatever you touch will prosper and succeed. He
Speaker 5: programmed the head and not the tail, lend and not borrow,
Speaker 5: victor and not victim.
Speaker 7: You were programmed to live.
Speaker 5: In abundant, victorious, faith filled life.
Speaker 7: That's how your creator designed you.
Speaker 5: But the reason we don't always experience this abundant life
Speaker 5: is we've allowed virus say is to contaminate our software.
Speaker 5: We think I'll never be successful. I'm not that talented.
Speaker 5: I'll never break this addiction.
Speaker 7: I've had it too long. I'm slow, clumsy, unattractive.
Speaker 5: Nothing good is in my future because our software is infected.
Speaker 5: We go around low self esteem, negative, not believing for
Speaker 5: dreams to come to pass, not expecting problems to turn around.
Speaker 5: Here's the good news. There is nothing wrong with you.
Speaker 7: Like that computer.
Speaker 5: You're not a mistake, you're not faulty. The problem is
Speaker 5: your software. You've got to get rid of the viruses.
Speaker 5: All through the day, dwell on what.
Speaker 7: Your creator says about you.
Speaker 5: I'm blessed, I'm strong, I'm healthy, I'm confident, I'm attractive,
Speaker 5: I'm valuable, i am victorious. You've got to get back
Speaker 5: to your original software. If your thinking is limited, your
Speaker 5: life will be limited. One of the best things we
Speaker 5: can learn to do is hit.
Speaker 7: The delete button.
Speaker 5: When negative, discouraging thoughts come trying to contaminate your software,
Speaker 5: Just hit delete. That thought says you've seen your best days.
Speaker 5: It's all downhill from here. Recognize that's a virus trying
Speaker 5: to keep you from your destiny. It's real simple, delete,
Speaker 5: not dwelling on that. My software says, the path of
Speaker 5: the righteous gets brighter and brighter. Well, you'll never get well.
Speaker 7: You saw the medical report. Delete. God is restoring health
Speaker 7: back into me.
Speaker 5: The number of my days he will fulfill. I will
Speaker 5: live and not die. You may hear you'll never accomplish
Speaker 5: your dreams. You're not that talented. You don't have what
Speaker 5: it takes. Delete, delete, Delete. I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Speaker 5: I have the favor of God. Whatever I touch prospers
Speaker 5: and succeeds. Perhaps you'll hear you'll never break that addiction.
Speaker 5: Your father was an alcoholic, and you'll.
Speaker 7: Be one too. Delete.
Speaker 5: No weapon formed against me will prosper. Whom the sun
Speaker 5: sets free is free, indeed, and I am free.
Speaker 7: If you're going to reach.
Speaker 5: Your highest potential, you've got to get good at hitting
Speaker 5: the delete button. When I stepped up to pasture the church,
Speaker 5: every thought told me, you can't do this, Joel. You
Speaker 5: don't know how to minister. You're too young, you don't
Speaker 5: have the experience. Nobody's going to come. Would have been
Speaker 5: easy to let that virus take root and keep me
Speaker 5: from my destiny. I did what I'm asking you to do.
Speaker 5: I kept hitting the delete button.
Speaker 7: You can't do it.
Speaker 5: Delete, you're too young. Delete, nobody's gonna come.
Speaker 7: Delete. You don't have the experience. Delete. It's not going
Speaker 7: to work out. Delete. I wouldn't be standing.
Speaker 5: Here if I wasn't an expert at hitting the delete button.
Speaker 5: One Sunday, right after I first got started, I overheard
Speaker 5: two ladies talking in the lobby after the service about me.
Speaker 7: One said, he's not as good as his father.
Speaker 5: The other answered, yeah, I don't think he's going to
Speaker 5: make it. The enemy will use people to try to
Speaker 5: contaminate your software. I was already insecure, intimidated, didn't think
Speaker 5: I could do it.
Speaker 7: When I heard that. My first thought was to panic.
Speaker 7: My worst fears had come true.
Speaker 5: But then something rolls up on the inside. God gives
Speaker 5: you grace for every season. He arms you with strength
Speaker 5: for every battle. I thought to myself, those two ladies,
Speaker 5: they don't determine my destiny.
Speaker 7: They didn't call me, they didn't equip me, they didn't
Speaker 7: anoint me.
Speaker 5: And more than anything else, they can't stop me.
Speaker 7: They don't have the final say.
Speaker 5: God has a final say. He said, I'm well able,
Speaker 5: I can do all things through Christ, I am strong
Speaker 5: in the Lord. Every time I heard their voice delete
Speaker 5: no thanks now, dwelling on it came back again and
Speaker 5: again and again. I just kept hitting the delete button.
Speaker 5: The scripture tells us to guard our mind. You control
Speaker 5: the doorway to what you allow in. You can dwell
Speaker 5: on every negative thought, every derogatory comment, or you can
Speaker 5: choose to delete it and dwell on what God says
Speaker 5: about you. If I would have let what those two
Speaker 5: ladies said play over and over, they would have contaminated
Speaker 5: my confidence, contaminated my self esteem, contaminated my future. Some
Speaker 5: of you would go to a new level if you
Speaker 5: would just start hitting the delete button. Quit dwelling on
Speaker 5: every negative thought that comes to your mind. That's the
Speaker 5: enemy trying to contaminate your software. If he can control
Speaker 5: your thinking, he can control.
Speaker 7: Your whole life.
Speaker 5: If that thought is negative, discouraging, pushing you down, don't
Speaker 5: dwell on it.
Speaker 7: Delete it. Pay attention to what you're thinking. If you go.
Speaker 5: Around thinking that you're not talented, then you'll never have
Speaker 5: the confidence to step into your destiny. If you think
Speaker 5: you're unattractive, you'll never meet the people you were supposed
Speaker 5: to meet. If you think you can't break the addiction,
Speaker 5: then you can't. If you think you've reached your limits,
Speaker 5: then you have. It's not because you can't go further.
Speaker 5: You've just convinced yourself that you can't. The good news
Speaker 5: is it's not too late. You can still become everything
Speaker 5: God created you to be.
Speaker 7: Here's the key. You've got to clear out all.
Speaker 5: The negative things people have said about you. You are
Speaker 5: not who people say you are. You are who God
Speaker 5: says you are. Clear Out what the coach, the teacher
Speaker 5: said about you.
Speaker 7: You're too small, you don't have what it takes. Deleted.
Speaker 7: Quit dwelling on that you're the right size.
Speaker 5: You have exactly what you need for the race that's
Speaker 5: been designed for you.
Speaker 7: Clear out what the counselor said. You're just a C student.
Speaker 7: You're not college material.
Speaker 5: Deleted. You're an a student, you have seeds of greatness.
Speaker 5: Clear out what.
Speaker 7: The ex boyfriend, the ex spouse said. You're not attractive,
Speaker 7: You're not good enough for me. Deleted.
Speaker 5: You're a masterpiece, one of a kind, beautiful, attractive, a
Speaker 5: prize possession. You may have to clear out what a
Speaker 5: parent said, that.
Speaker 7: Person that raised you.
Speaker 5: You're so undisciplined, you're never going to dime out to much.
Speaker 5: You can't do anything right.
Speaker 7: Deleteed.
Speaker 5: You are destined to do great things. You're destined to
Speaker 5: leave your mark on this generation. I read a report
Speaker 5: about children that had been bullied in school. It talked
Speaker 5: about how years later those negative words were still having
Speaker 5: an effect on many of them.
Speaker 7: They interviewed this one man.
Speaker 5: He was in his forties, and he looked to be
Speaker 5: a bright, intelligent man, but he had not been able
Speaker 5: to hold down a good job, struggled in his relationship,
Speaker 5: couldn't seem to get on course. He told how as
Speaker 5: a child he was overweight, he was chubby. Some of
Speaker 5: the other children made fun of him and called him names,
Speaker 5: things like loser, failure. He made the mistake of letting
Speaker 5: those words take root. Now they were keeping him in mediocrity.
Speaker 5: When somebody calls you something either good or bad. That
Speaker 5: seed is planted in your soil. Now you get to
Speaker 5: determine whether or not that seed.
Speaker 7: Takes root and grows.
Speaker 5: When you dwell on what was said, you were watering
Speaker 5: the seed. You're giving it a right to become a reality.
Speaker 5: That's why it's so important that we're disciplined in our
Speaker 5: thought life. It's great when people tell you you're blessed, you're talented,
Speaker 5: you're going to do great things. Water those seeds, meditate
Speaker 5: on those throughout the day. That's what you want to
Speaker 5: become a reality. But too often the mistake we make
Speaker 5: is we water the wrong seeds. Those two ladies that
Speaker 5: said I wasn't as good as my father, if I
Speaker 5: would have watered that seed, I would have never gotten
Speaker 5: off the ground. And the truth is it wouldn't have
Speaker 5: been their fault. They can't make a seed take root
Speaker 5: in me. All they can do is sow the seed.
Speaker 5: You have complete control over what seeds are going to
Speaker 5: take root and grow in your own soil. Now, a
Speaker 5: lot of times we blame others. Well, they were talking
Speaker 5: about me. They tried to make me look bad, they
Speaker 5: were criticizing me. No, let them talk all they want.
Speaker 5: You control your own soil. Don't dwell on the negative, don't.
Speaker 7: Replay what they said over and over. Guard your mind.
Speaker 5: Those are viruses trying to infiltrate your software. Joshua will
Speaker 5: put it this way, if you will meditate on what God.
Speaker 7: Says about you day and.
Speaker 5: Night, then you will have good success and prosper in everything.
Speaker 7: You do. When your mind is filled with.
Speaker 5: Thoughts of faith, thoughts of hope, thoughts of victory, that's
Speaker 5: what's going to become a reality. That man in his
Speaker 5: forties that was still shruggling, you know why, he let
Speaker 5: those derogatory comments play over and over every time he
Speaker 5: thought about it. He was watering that seed year after year,
Speaker 5: and sad to say, but it became a reality. How
Speaker 5: different would his life be if he had just learned
Speaker 5: to hit the delete button, said a.
Speaker 7: Constantly playing the negative.
Speaker 5: What if he had have gone around thinking I'm a masterpiece,
Speaker 5: I'm one of a kind, I'm talented, I've got seeds
Speaker 5: of greatness.
Speaker 7: It would be a whole different story.
Speaker 5: Somebody may have spoken negative words over you.
Speaker 7: Deleted. People don't determine your destiny. God determines your destiny.
Speaker 5: That's why we start off every message by saying I
Speaker 5: am who God.
Speaker 7: Says I am.
Speaker 5: We're saying, in effect, i am not who my history
Speaker 5: teacher says I am. I'm not who my ex chouse
Speaker 5: says I am. I am not who the critics say
Speaker 5: I am. I am who God says I am. I
Speaker 5: like to take it a step further. Not only I
Speaker 5: am who God says I am, But I can do
Speaker 5: what God says I can do.
Speaker 7: That means we know we've been programmed for victory.
Speaker 5: We've been programmed to reign in life. We've been programmed
Speaker 5: to overcome obstacles. Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
Speaker 5: but the Lord delivers us out of them all. We
Speaker 5: will accomplish our dreams. We will meet the right people.
Speaker 5: We will step.
Speaker 7: Into the fullness of our destinies. When you think like that,
Speaker 7: all the forces of.
Speaker 5: Darkness cannot stop you. Friends, the real battle is taking
Speaker 5: place in your mind. If you're defeated in your thoughts,
Speaker 5: you've already lost. You've got to get rid of the viruses.
Speaker 5: If you will get back to your original software.
Speaker 7: Put in you by your creator.
Speaker 5: You'll go places that you've never dreamed. It's interesting how
Speaker 5: little children star off so excited about life.
Speaker 7: They've got big dreams.
Speaker 5: They're going to become a scientist, an astronaut, a singer,
Speaker 5: a teacher, a ballplayer, even the president. They're not intimidated,
Speaker 5: they're not insecure. They believe they can do anything. It's
Speaker 5: because they just came from their creator. Their thinking has
Speaker 5: not been contaminated. They can still feel the seeds of greatness,
Speaker 5: but too often, over time they start to get reprogrammed.
Speaker 7: Somebody tells them what.
Speaker 5: They can't become, what they can't do. Little by little,
Speaker 5: their environment.
Speaker 7: Starts to squeeze them down.
Speaker 5: A coach, a teacher says, hey, you're not good enough,
Speaker 5: you're too small. Their self esteem goes down, they see
Speaker 5: somebody more attractive, and they start to feel inferior. All
Speaker 5: these things begin to distort who they really are. Before long,
Speaker 5: instead of dreaming big and believing possibility thoughts, they think,
Speaker 5: I'll never do anything great.
Speaker 7: I'm not that talented. I'm just average.
Speaker 5: When we find ourselves stuck in these ruts, not believing
Speaker 5: we can rise any higher, we need to ask why
Speaker 5: do I think this way? Who programmed me to think
Speaker 5: that I'm average? Who programmed me to give up on
Speaker 5: my dreams? Who programmed me to think I can't lose
Speaker 5: this weight, I can't break this addiction.
Speaker 7: I've gone as far as I can. Where did those
Speaker 7: thoughts come from?
Speaker 5: Could it be that you have accepted a wrong mindset
Speaker 5: because of the environment you were raised in the people
Speaker 5: that you were around. Just because it seems normal to
Speaker 5: you doesn't mean that it's necessarily normal. Sometimes we learn
Speaker 5: to function in our dysfunction. Maybe everybody you grew up
Speaker 5: with was negative, Well you're not supposed to be negative.
Speaker 7: That's not normal.
Speaker 5: Maybe your friends didn't have big dreams, they didn't do
Speaker 5: anything great in life.
Speaker 7: Well that's not okay for you. That's not normal.
Speaker 5: Just because family members had adictions bad habits, don't make
Speaker 5: the mistake of thinking that's okay for you to live
Speaker 5: that way.
Speaker 7: Those are viruses that.
Speaker 5: Have been passed down that keep infiltrating our thinking. Listen,
Speaker 5: God created you to go further, to be confident, to
Speaker 5: be free, to be healthy, positive, happy. You have greatness
Speaker 5: on the inside. Now it starts by reprogramming your thinking.
Speaker 5: I saw a story about this dog, a German shepherd.
Speaker 5: She was pregnant with puppies. One day, she was walking
Speaker 5: across the street and got hit by a car. Both
Speaker 5: of her back legs were broken. She was able to
Speaker 5: drag herself off the street and back to her house.
Speaker 5: As the weeks went by, she began to slowly recover.
Speaker 5: Her legs finally healed, but because they weren't properly reset
Speaker 5: when she walked, all she could do was drag her
Speaker 5: back legs. She couldn't walk properly. Her joints had been
Speaker 5: made stuff.
Speaker 7: Eventually she had her puppies.
Speaker 5: They seemed to be healthy and whole, but a few
Speaker 5: weeks later, when they started walking, just like their mother,
Speaker 5: they dragged their back legs. The owner was amazed. He
Speaker 5: thought maybe they had been injured in the.
Speaker 7: Accident as well.
Speaker 5: Took them to the veterinarian to have them checked out.
Speaker 5: The doctor discovered there was nothing wrong with their back legs.
Speaker 7: They were perfectly healthy.
Speaker 5: Those puppies were simply copying their mother. That's all they
Speaker 5: had seen modeled in their mind.
Speaker 7: That's the way they were supposed to walk.
Speaker 5: That's what's happened to many of us what we saw
Speaker 5: modeled growing up.
Speaker 7: The people that raised us.
Speaker 5: They were good people, They were doing their best, but
Speaker 5: in some way, they were dragging their back legs. They
Speaker 5: were negative discouraged. Now we live negative discouraged. They had addictions,
Speaker 5: low self esteem.
Speaker 7: Now we struggle in those same areas.
Speaker 5: Or may they made poor choices in relationships God involved
Speaker 5: with the wrong people.
Speaker 7: Now we're dealing with the same.
Speaker 5: Issues we saw them, except mediocrity. Now mediocrity has become
Speaker 5: normal to us.
Speaker 7: The good news.
Speaker 5: Just like those puppies, There is nothing wrong with your
Speaker 5: back legs.
Speaker 7: Those are simply wrong mindsets that you've developed.
Speaker 5: As you get your thinking straightened out, your legs will
Speaker 5: straighten out. God didn't make you faulty. He didn't create
Speaker 5: you subpar. He created you in his image. You are
Speaker 5: his masterpiece, crowned with favor, equipped with talent gifts.
Speaker 7: You are destined to live a great.
Speaker 5: Life, healthy, abundant, happy, faith filled. Now, don't go around
Speaker 5: dragging your back legs. You are not supposed to go
Speaker 5: through life inferior, low self esteem, addicted, little goals, little dreams.
Speaker 7: That's not who you are.
Speaker 5: Start reprogramming your mind as the head and not the tail.
Speaker 5: Program it with excellence, not mediocrity. Program it with abundance,
Speaker 5: not lack and poverty. Program it with freedom, not addictions.
Speaker 5: This is what my father did. He grew up in
Speaker 5: a very poor environment. His parents lost everything during the
Speaker 5: Great Depression. He had no money, no education, no future
Speaker 5: to speak of. He had been programmed with poverty, defeat mediocrity.
Speaker 7: He could have settled there, that's all he had seen. Thought, Hey,
Speaker 7: this is just my lot in life.
Speaker 5: We're just poor, defeated people, but it's seventeen years old.
Speaker 5: When he gave his life to Christ, he started reprogramming
Speaker 5: his thinking. Deep down, something said, you were made for
Speaker 5: more than this. You're not supposed to constantly struggle to
Speaker 5: barely make it through life. He could feel those seeds
Speaker 5: of greatness stirring on the inside. His attitude was this
Speaker 5: may be where I am, but this is.
Speaker 7: Not who I am.
Speaker 5: I may be in defeat, but I am not defeated.
Speaker 5: I'm a child of the Most High God. Day after day,
Speaker 5: he kept hitting the delete button.
Speaker 7: Thought told him, you have no future. Delete. God's plans
Speaker 7: for me are for good. To give me a future
Speaker 7: and a hope.
Speaker 5: You have no money. Delete, I'm blessed. Whatever I touch prospers.
Speaker 5: You have no education. You'll never get out of here.
Speaker 5: It's impossible.
Speaker 7: Delete, delete, delete.
Speaker 5: God is making a way where I don't see away.
Speaker 5: He's opening doors that no men can shut. He's bringing
Speaker 5: the right people across my path. I will step into
Speaker 5: the fullness.
Speaker 7: Of my destiny. He reprogrammed his thinking with thoughts of faith,
Speaker 7: thoughts of hope, thoughts of victory.
Speaker 5: That's how he rose up out of that poverty, set
Speaker 5: a new standard for our family. You may have been
Speaker 5: raised in a limited environment. All you saw model was strife, addictions, conflict,
Speaker 5: low self esteem, mediocrity.
Speaker 7: Don't let that set.
Speaker 5: The limits for your life. Don't go around dragging your
Speaker 5: back legs. God wants you to go further now. It
Speaker 5: starts by getting rid of the viruses.
Speaker 7: Hit the delete button.
Speaker 5: The thought tells you you've gone as far as you
Speaker 5: can delete.
Speaker 7: You'll never get well.
Speaker 5: Delete, You'll always be addicted.
Speaker 7: Delete. This is as good as it gets. Delete.
Speaker 5: If you'll get good at hitting the delete button, you
Speaker 5: will break out of bondages.
Speaker 7: And you will step into freedom.
Speaker 5: You will break out of lack and poverty and step
Speaker 5: into abundance.
Speaker 7: You will break out of mediocrity and step up to excellence.
Speaker 7: This is a new day.
Speaker 5: Strongholds are coming down. Wrong, mindsets are being broken. Viruses
Speaker 5: are being cleared out. Get ready for God to do
Speaker 5: something new. Get ready to see his goodness in amazing ways. Well, Joel,
Speaker 5: this sounds encouraging, But I don't know. All the experts
Speaker 5: say I'll never get well. The experts say I'll never
Speaker 5: get out of death. The experts tell me I've gone
Speaker 5: as far as my education allows this is as good
Speaker 5: as it gets.
Speaker 7: I say this.
Speaker 5: Respectfully, but the experts can be wrong. The experts told
Speaker 5: us we would never have this building, but here we
Speaker 5: are today. The experts told my mother that she had
Speaker 5: a few weeks to live, but thirty three years later,
Speaker 5: she's still alive and healthy. The experts told us Lakewood
Speaker 5: would never make it without my father, but we're doing
Speaker 5: pretty good.
Speaker 7: I read about a bumblebee.
Speaker 5: According to all the laws of aerodynamics, a bumblebee should
Speaker 5: not be able to fly. Its wingspan is too small
Speaker 5: for the size of its body. It can't get enough left.
Speaker 5: But here's the key. Nobody told the bumblebee. It didn't
Speaker 5: get the memo. No experts were able to talk it
Speaker 5: out of it. The bumblebee felt its wings on its side,
Speaker 5: and something in its DNA said, I'm supposed to fly.
Speaker 5: I'm not made to just crawl around on the ground.
Speaker 5: It didn't go check with the experts. It didn't read
Speaker 5: the latest engineering report. It just did what was natural
Speaker 5: and started flapping its wings took off up.
Speaker 7: Into the air.
Speaker 5: If that bumblebee would have been able to read the
Speaker 5: negative reports, would have been able to listen to the naysayers,
Speaker 5: it would have never gotten off the ground.
Speaker 7: It starts in our thinking.
Speaker 5: If you don't think you can be successful, you want.
Speaker 5: If you don't think you're talented, then you're not. If
Speaker 5: you don't think you'll meet the right people.
Speaker 7: You never will.
Speaker 5: Not because you're not able to, but because of your software.
Speaker 7: Your thinking is limiting you.
Speaker 5: When Carl Lewis was training for the Olympic Games, the
Speaker 5: experts said no person can jump over thirty feet. The
Speaker 5: scientists had run all their calculations, done all their research.
Speaker 5: According to their data, no one would ever be able
Speaker 5: to jump that far.
Speaker 7: A reporter asked Carl Lewis what he thought about it.
Speaker 5: He said, yes, I know the experts say it can't
Speaker 5: be done, but I don't listen to that kind of talk.
Speaker 7: I know thoughts like that have a way of slipping
Speaker 7: down to my feet.
Speaker 5: He went on later that same year to jump over
Speaker 5: thirty feet and break the world record. Are you allowing
Speaker 5: negative thoughts to drop down to your feet stifle your potential?
Speaker 7: Why don't you do like he did, start hitting the
Speaker 7: delete button.
Speaker 5: The experts may have told you how impossible it is,
Speaker 5: how it's not going to work out, how you're not
Speaker 5: going to get well and again. I mean it respectfully
Speaker 5: because the experts are doing the best they can with
Speaker 5: the knowledge that they have. What I'm saying is God
Speaker 5: has the final say.
Speaker 7: He wouldn't have put the dream in your heart.
Speaker 5: He wouldn't have given you that promise if he didn't
Speaker 5: have a way to bring.
Speaker 7: It to pass.
Speaker 5: Delete what the naysayers have told you, Delete the discouraging words,
Speaker 5: delete the negative reports.
Speaker 7: You got to get back.
Speaker 5: To your original software. Some of you, this is the
Speaker 5: only thing that's holding you back. Who told you that
Speaker 5: you can't be successful, Who told you you can only
Speaker 5: make season school, Who told you you're not tall enough,
Speaker 5: not smart enough, that you've reached your limits. I can
Speaker 5: assure you that did not come from your creator. Those
Speaker 5: are viruses that are trying to contaminate your software. Don't
Speaker 5: let what anyone told you or what anyone showed you
Speaker 5: to limit your life. There is nothing wrong with your
Speaker 5: back legs. Start reprogramming your mind all through the day.
Speaker 7: Dwell on what your creator says about you.
Speaker 5: I'm blessed, I'm healthy, I'm talented, I'm valuable. My best
Speaker 5: days are still out in front of me. If you'll
Speaker 5: do this, I believe and declare every virus is being
Speaker 5: cleared out. Even right now, strongholds are coming down. Wrong
Speaker 5: mindsets that have held you back for years will no
Speaker 5: longer have any.
Speaker 7: Effect on you.
Speaker 5: Like Joshua will promise you will have good success and
Speaker 5: prosper in everything you do. I declare it in Jesus' name.
Speaker 5: If you receive it, can you say man today? We
Speaker 5: never like to close our broadcast without giving you an
Speaker 5: opportunity to make.
Speaker 7: Jesus the lord of your life. Would you pray with me?
Speaker 5: Just say Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come
Speaker 5: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. Friends,
Speaker 5: if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got
Speaker 5: born again. Get in a good Bible based church. Keep
Speaker 5: God first place. He's going to take your places that
Speaker 5: you've never dreamed.
