1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,200

Speaker 2: And I hope you'll stay connected with us during the

8
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: week through our daily podcast, our YouTube channel on social media,

00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: and you can come.

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: Visit us in person. We'd love to have you be

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: a part of one of our services.

12
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: And I'd like to start with something funny. And I

13
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: heard about this lady. She had just gotten out of

14
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 2: choir practice and she was so fired up she put

15
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: a hank if you love Jesus bumper sticker on her car.

16
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: Now at the intersection, she was digging in her purse

17
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: and didn't notice the light had changed. She said, I

18
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 2: was so excited to find out the God behind me

19
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: loved Jesus. He started honking, So I rolled my window

20
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: down way real big and said, I love Jesus too.

21
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: She said, I found out a whole lot of people

22
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: love Jesus. Everyone started honking. One man even screamed Jesus Christ.

23
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: She said, after we shared all that love together, I

24
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: was the only one that made it through the intersection.

25
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: Say it like you mean it.

26
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

27
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do

28
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be

29
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind

30
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive.

31
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

32
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: bless you.

33
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: I want to talk to you today about a sound mind.

34
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: There are so many opportunities to live worried, afraid, wondering

35
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: what's going to happen. You watch the news and see

36
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 2: all the violence, suffering divisions. Someone texted me last week

37
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: and said, this is such.

38
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: A scary time to be alive.

39
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: People are on edge thinking what if the economy goes down?

40
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: What if the medical report doesn't improve? How can I

41
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: accomplish my dreams. We don't have the connections.

42
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: It's easy to.

43
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: Let our mind be filled with negativity and doubt, fear.

44
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: That's the enemy's favorite area to work in. He knows

45
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: if he.

46
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: Can control your thoughts, he can control your life. But

47
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 2: Paul said in second Timothy, God has not given us

48
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love,

49
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: and of a sound mind. A sound mind is a

50
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: positive mind, a hopeful mind. It's a mind that's at peace,

51
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: a mind that knows that God's.

52
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: In control, that he's ordering your steps.

53
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: A sound mind is not focused on the problems. It's

54
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: focused on the promises. It's not looking at how big

55
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: the challenge is. It's looking at how big our God is.

56
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 2: A sound mind is not discouraged over the bad break.

57
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: It's expecting God to open a new door. It's not

58
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: bitter over who walked away. It's knowing that God has

59
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: someone better coming. That's the way God created us to live, positive, peaceful, trusting.

60
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 2: But so many people go around with the troubled mind.

61
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 2: I don't see how this problem is gonna work out.

62
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: A worried mind. What if my company has layoffs? Doubting mind,

63
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: I'll never meet the right person. A negative mind. I

64
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: can't break this addiction. I've had it for years. What

65
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: kind of mind do you have? What are you thinking

66
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: about all through the day. Your life is going to

67
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: follow your thoughts, and the scripture says, let this same

68
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.

69
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: This is an amazing promise.

70
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: You can have the same mind, the same thinking patterns

71
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: as Jesus dead.

72
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: He had all kinds of problems, but he didn't have

73
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: a worried mind.

74
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: He had people betray him, he didn't have a bitter mind.

75
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: He stood before Lazarus, a man that had been dead

76
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: in four days, and called him back to life. He

77
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: didn't have a doubting mind. He trusted that his father

78
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: was in con He believed that he was called equip

79
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: and empowered.

80
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: He had a sound mind.

81
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: He would have never fulfilled his destiny with the wrong

82
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: thoughts playing all day long. Pay attention to what's playing

83
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 2: in your mind. The enemy would love for us to

84
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 2: go through life with a doubting mind, a fearful mind,

85
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: a worried mind. Don't fall into that trap. You control

86
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: the doorway to your mind. You can't stop negative thoughts

87
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: from coming, but you can decide whether or not you're

88
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: going to dwell on them. God is not going to

89
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: do this for us. This is something we all have

90
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: to do. Take control of.

91
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: Your thought life. Be selective in what you're dwelling on.

92
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: If the thought is negative, discouraging, bringing fear, doubt, confusion,

93
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: Dismiss it, don't give it the time of day. Replace

94
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: that thought with a positive thought, Replace it with what

95
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: God says about you. You've seen your best days. It's

96
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: all downhill from here. No thanks, My latter days will

97
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: be better than my former days. God, I thank you

98
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: that you're taking me from glory to glory. Then my

99
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: path gets brighter and brighter. Or you're never going to

100
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: accompass your dreams. You don't have the funding, the connections,

101
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: the experience. Father, Thank you that you're opening doors that

102
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,119
Speaker 2: no person can shut. Thank you that the right people

103
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 2: are tracking me down, that good breaks are headed my way.

104
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: This is our choice, a doubting mind or a faith

105
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: filled mind. Thoughts will whisper This sickness is permanent. Your

106
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: health is going to keep getting worse. You saw the

107
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: medical report. If you dwell on that, it's going to

108
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: create fear, negativity, drain your energy, take your joy. Why

109
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: don't you dismiss those thoughts. You're in control of what

110
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: you think about. Turn it around and dwell on what

111
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: God says about you. Father, you said that you're resks

112
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 2: in health.

113
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: Back into me.

114
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 2: You said the number of my days you will fulfill

115
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: that with long life, you will satisfy me. That's how

116
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 2: you have a sound mind by being selective in what

117
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: you think about. The scripture says to take every thought

118
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: captive that goes against what God says.

119
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: Get a picture of that. A negative thought comes fear, worry, doubt.

120
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: You can't be passive complacent.

121
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: You have to arrest that thought. It's an intruder. It

122
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: has no right to stay. You need to get your

123
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: handcuffs out, so to speak, lock it up and.

124
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: Send it away.

125
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 2: Take it captive indicates force, aggressive, being on the offensive.

126
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: Could have said just don't think about it, don't pay

127
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 2: it any attention. But God was showing us how important

128
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: it is that we be proactive. That if we're going

129
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 2: to have a sound mind, it's not going to happen

130
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: automatic plea. We're gonna have to start locking up some things.

131
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: The apostle Paul said, give no place.

132
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: To the enemy.

133
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: Are there some intruders in your mind that you're allowing

134
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: to stay? Are you giving place to negative discouraging thoughts?

135
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: Imagine that worry, that doubt, that fear, sitting on your couch,

136
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: feed up in the air, making themselves at home.

137
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: How would you feel if a.

138
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: Burglar came into your house and started eating your food

139
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: and sleeping in your bed, sitting on your back porch

140
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: watching your television. He wouldn't be there five seconds before

141
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: you would say, excuse me, you are not welcome here.

142
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: This is my house. You have to leave right now.

143
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: If he didn't leave on his own, you'd call your wife.

144
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you call nine one one.

145
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: That's how you need to see. These negative thoughts.

146
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: They're intruders. They're trying to keep you from your destiny. Worry, fear, doubt.

147
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: That's going to limit your vision, cause you to give

148
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: up on dreams, live stressed out.

149
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: Where you don't enjoy your life.

150
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: It's time to make some arrest, lock up some negative thoughts.

151
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: Get those intruders out of your mind. They're not going

152
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 2: to go on their own. You have to force them out.

153
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: Refuse to dwell on them, refuse to let the negative play.

154
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,679
Speaker 2: It's interesting when God says we don't have a spirit

155
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: of fear. That word fear in the original language is

156
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: only used one time in the scripture.

157
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: All the other times it says fear.

158
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: That word is talking about not dreading something bad that's coming.

159
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: It's referring to what we think, not anticipating the negative.

160
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 2: But when God said you don't have a spirit of fear,

161
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: that word for fear implies being passive, complacent, not putting

162
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: forth effort that's required, and a sound mind in several

163
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: versions is translated a dind. It refers to self control

164
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: and self discipline. God is saying, if you're gonna have

165
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 2: this sound mind that I'm giving you, if you're gonna

166
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: stay in peace, full of faith, expecting my favor, then

167
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: you can't be passive, complacent and just think whatever comes

168
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: into your mind.

169
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: You have to be disciplined.

170
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 2: You have to exercise self control. God has already provided

171
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: us a sound mind, a peaceful mind, a believing mind.

172
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: The question is are you going to keep the intruders

173
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: out and think about what He's promised? Are you going

174
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: to lock up those destructive thoughts and not give the

175
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: enemy any place?

176
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: Some people are allowing way too much worry.

177
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: Those worrisome thoughts have their own bedroom in your mind,

178
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 2: so to speak. They eat dinner with you every night,

179
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: they greet your first thing in the morning, They ride

180
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 2: to work with you, go on vacation with you. Why

181
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: don't you send them an eviction notice. I'm sorry, but

182
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: your time here is up. I've let you stay way

183
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: too long. Now you're gonna have to leave. No more

184
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 2: waking up with worry. Try a different approach and wake

185
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: up with hope. Wake up with faith, wake up with gratitude.

186
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: You get up in the morning instead of letting those

187
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 2: worry thoughts play.

188
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: Father, thank you for another beautiful day. Think you that

189
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: I'm alive.

190
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: Thank you for my family, thank you for good Hell Lord,

191
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: I'm excited about this day. Worry can't stay in a

192
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: house full of faith. Discouragement can't stay in a house

193
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: full of gratitude. Negativity can't stay in a house full

194
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 2: of hope. Maybe you've allowed doubt a place in your mind.

195
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 2: It's been there so long it's taking up residence. You

196
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: don't think that you can accomplish your dreams. The obstacles

197
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: are too big. You're not talented enough. That doubt is

198
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 2: causing you to settle for mediocrity and quit believing for

199
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: what God put in your heart. It's time to serve

200
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: doubt and eviction.

201
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: Notice.

202
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: Start locking up those thoughts. Your mind is the enemy's playground.

203
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 2: He's gonna feed you all kinds of defeat lack and

204
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: can't do it. You've made too many mistakes. You've missed

205
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: your chance. Quit giving him a place. Take control of

206
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 2: your thought life. Program it with what God says. I

207
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 2: am blessed, I am talented, I am forgiven, I have

208
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 2: a bright future. When you think like that, you're evicting doubt, fear, worry.

209
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: You're giving a room for faith, for hope, for victory.

210
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 2: Make sure you have the right tenants living in your mind.

211
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, Joel.

212
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 2: I never get any good breaks. I'm not good in math.

213
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 2: I'll never pass this course. I can't pay my house off.

214
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: I'm so worried about my children. And I know those

215
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: are valid concerns, and I'm not making lighted them. But

216
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 2: I also know that giving a place to fear, doubt

217
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: and worry.

218
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: Doesn't do anything productive.

219
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: It'll cause you to get stuck and not see the

220
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 2: great things God has in.

221
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: Store for you. Now.

222
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 2: I know people that are so disciplined when it comes

223
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 2: to their career.

224
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: They're productive, excellent, and on time.

225
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: I know people that are disciplined when it comes to parenting.

226
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: They're always there for their children, making sure they have

227
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: everything they need at their ballgames, great supporters. I know

228
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 2: people that are so disciplined when it comes to their

229
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 2: physical health. They eat right, exercise, they are always at

230
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: the gym. We can be so disciplined in all these

231
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: other areas, which is great, But when it comes to

232
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 2: our thought life, sometimes we're undisciplined.

233
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: We let any thought in. We end up living worried, insecure, troubled.

234
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: What if you had that same discipline in your thinking.

235
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: You're so responsible in your career, your parenting, your health.

236
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: Be responsible in your thought life.

237
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: Quit giving space to thoughts that are limiting you, causing

238
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: you to live worried, afraid, and intimidated. When my father

239
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 2: passed and I stepped up to past to the church,

240
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: I had never ministered before. I'd spent those seventeen years

241
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: behind the scenes, but deep down I knew I was

242
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 2: supposed to do it. But all these thoughts flooded my mind.

243
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: You're not qualified, you don't have the training. Nobody's going

244
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: to listen to you, Joe, You're not like your father,

245
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 2: you don't have that big personality. The enemy is not

246
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 2: going to let you move forward, take.

247
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: New ground without opposition. His main battlefield is the mind.

248
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 2: He'll whisper lies hoping that you'll take the bait and

249
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 2: start dwelling on them. I had to make a decision.

250
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 2: Was I going to give those thoughts access to my mind?

251
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 2: Was I going to keep dwelling on them, take up

252
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 2: residence and limit my future?

253
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: Or was I going to lock them up?

254
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 2: Was I going to see them as an intruder and

255
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 2: not give them the.

256
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: Right to stay? And I did what I'm asking us

257
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: to do.

258
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: Instead of believing those lies, I said, no thanks, You're

259
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: not welcome here.

260
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: You say I'm weak, unqualified, not enough.

261
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: But I know who I am. I am strong in

262
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 2: the Lord. I can do all things through Christ. I'm equipped, empowered,

263
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: and anointed. I have royal blood flowing through my veins.

264
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: I've been crowned with fever. The most tigh God is

265
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: breathing on my life.

266
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: When you think like that, doubt can't stay.

267
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: Inferiority has to go. Fear has no place. But had

268
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: I allowed those lies, I wouldn't be up here today.

269
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 2: Don't miss your destiny because you're giving place to the

270
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: wrong things. Our mind is like a house. It has

271
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: all these different rooms in it. Something is occupying each room.

272
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: Imagine there are four bedrooms. One has fear living in it.

273
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: It moved in during the pandemic. Another has guilt living

274
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: in it. It's been there since you made that mistake.

275
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: So down on yourself. Another room, there's inferiority. It's been

276
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: there since you were a child, when people made you

277
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: feel less than told you how you weren't attracted, you

278
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: would never do anything significant. What would happen if you

279
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: would start evicting.

280
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: Those wrong tenants? How much higher will.

281
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 2: You go if you'll evict the doubt, those thoughts telling

282
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: you that you'll never get whelm, never break the addiction.

283
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: Never see your family restored. Those are lies. You have

284
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: to lock them up.

285
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 2: They're intruders, they have no right to stay. How much

286
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 2: more will you accomplish if you'll evict the unworthiness thinking

287
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 2: you don't deserve to be blessed, You've made too many mistakes.

288
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: What could you become if you'll evict the not qualified thoughts,

289
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: not talented enough.

290
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: I don't have what it takes. Get those thoughts out

291
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: of your house. Your mind is valuable real estate.

292
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: It's time to send the eviction notice. I'm sorry, but

293
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: you're done here.

294
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: I have some new tenants moving in immediately. It's faith

295
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: it's hope, it's victory. See here's the key.

296
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: You will go no further than you think you can go.

297
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: You will be no more valuable. You will live no

298
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 2: more secure, no more confident than how valuable you.

299
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: Think you are.

300
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 2: The truth is you are made in the image of

301
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: Almighty God. He calls you a masterpiece, want of a kind,

302
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: a prize, possession. But if you let the wrong intruders

303
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: in your mind, if you let infuriority, not good enough,

304
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: not attractive, if that occupies a room, you won't discover

305
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: who you really are. When we believe to lie for

306
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: a long time, the scripture calls it a stronghold. It's

307
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 2: a thinking pattern that's keeping us from our destiny.

308
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: You have to pull down the stronghold. You have to

309
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: evict the intruder.

310
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 2: And it's good to ask yourself, why do I feel this, wife?

311
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 2: Why do I feel like I'm inferior, not up to par,

312
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 2: not qualified. Maybe it's because the enemy told you what

313
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 2: he told me. But you let the line take root.

314
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: You gave the intruder permission to stay. Now he has

315
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: a room in your house. The good news is you're

316
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 2: the landlord. You get to decide who stays inferiority or confidence,

317
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: not good enough or a masterpiece, unqualified or well evil.

318
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 2: Maybe you need to ask yourself, why am I so worried?

319
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: Why am I so afraid and on edge thinking.

320
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: Something bad is about to happen.

321
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: That's a room you've let the enemy occupy in your mind.

322
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: The problem with letting fear and worry in it's not

323
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: only taking your peace, but you draw in what you

324
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 2: constantly think about. Faith works in the negative just as

325
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: it does the positive. That negative frame of mind is

326
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: going to draw in defeat, bad breaks, disappointments. Why don't

327
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 2: you evict that tenant God has you in the palm

328
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: of his hand.

329
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: Nothing can snatch you away.

330
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 2: A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at

331
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 2: your right hand, but.

332
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: It will not come near you.

333
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 2: You can say with David, the Lord is my light

334
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 2: in my salvation.

335
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: I will not fear.

336
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 2: The Lord is the strength of my life. He's fighting

337
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,239
Speaker 2: your battles right now. His angels are surrounding you. He

338
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 2: holds victory in store for the upright. When you let

339
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 2: those thoughts occupy a room, you're gonna be peaceful, calm, secure.

340
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: You're gonna enjoy your life take inventory of what's occupying

341
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 2: your house. Some of us have faith, hope, trust that

342
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,719
Speaker 2: it's good, but we still have that one room of worry.

343
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,719
Speaker 1: Worry doesn't want to leave. He's stubborn. We know God's

344
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: on the throne, but we're still a little on edge.

345
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: What if my.

346
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: Business goes down? This medical report's not changing. I thought

347
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 2: i'd have the promotion by now.

348
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: Can I encourage you?

349
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 2: God has never failed you in the past, and he's

350
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 2: not going.

351
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: To start now. All that worry is doing is causing

352
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: you to be uptight, not.

353
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 2: Sleep well, run your immune system down. It's time to

354
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 2: serve worry and eviction. Notice, let peace in, let faith in,

355
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 2: and every time worry comes back, use that as a

356
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 2: reminder to thank God that he's working on what you're

357
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: concerned about. You'll hear that knock on the door. Hey,

358
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: it's me again, worry? What about that child? There's still

359
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,479
Speaker 2: of course, what are you going to do?

360
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: Father?

361
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: Thank you that as for me and my house, we

362
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 2: will serve the Lord. Thank you that my children will

363
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 2: fulfill their purposes. Worry knocks enter back with faith.

364
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: What if there's a recession? Man, What if you don't

365
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: get that contract?

366
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 2: What if your company downsizes, how you gonna make it? Sorry,

367
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 2: fear you're not welcome here. Father, Thank you that you're Jehovah, Jirah,

368
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 2: the Lord, my provider. Thank you that you're supplying all

369
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 2: of my needs, that I will lend and not borrow.

370
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 2: See Philippians four says the peace of God, which passes understanding,

371
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: will guard your heart and mind. In Christ Jesus, peace

372
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 2: should be one of the rooms in our mind.

373
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: When you have peace, it's guarding you, it's keeping you

374
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: from fear, worry, and doubt.

375
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: One time in the scripture, Peter was arrested and put

376
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 2: in prison for sharing his faith. King Agrippa had already

377
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,239
Speaker 2: killed James, one of the apostles. When he saw how

378
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: that pleased the people, he had Peter arrested. He was

379
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 2: in the deepest part of the dungeon, hands and feet

380
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 2: in change. The next day he was going to be

381
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: brought to trial. Peter knew his life could be over

382
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 2: in twenty four hours.

383
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: He saw what they had done to James. Now he

384
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: was next in line. You would think he would be.

385
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 2: So worried, panic, pacing the floor, But Peter understood this principle.

386
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 2: Fear came knocking at the door. He said, no, thanks,

387
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stay in peace. I know God is still

388
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 2: in control. God won't let you get in a problem

389
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 2: that he can't bring you out of. The scripture says

390
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 2: while Peter was sleeping, an angel came and woke him up.

391
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 2: How could he be sleeping knowing the next day he

392
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 2: could lose his life. That's peace that passed his understanding.

393
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: That's what happens when you take control of your thought life.

394
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: You'll have peace in the midst of the storm.

395
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 2: When you stay calm, when you could be worried, stressed out,

396
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 2: can't sleep, you're showing God that you trust him. That's

397
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 2: when he'll make things happen that you couldn't make happen.

398
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 2: The angel opened up the prison doors, chains fell off

399
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 2: his feet. Peter walked out a free man. But when

400
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 2: you're in a difficult situation, your health, your finances, a relationship,

401
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 2: you can be sure worry will come knocking at the door.

402
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: Panic, fear. What are you going to do? This is bad.

403
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 2: There's no way out if you let fear in, if

404
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 2: you give place to the enemy.

405
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: He'll tell you all the worst.

406
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 2: Case scenarios that sickness is going to be fatal. That

407
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: contrast you lost is going to sink you. You'll never

408
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: recover from this breakup. In those challenging times, more than ever,

409
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 2: you have to be disciplined in what you allow in.

410
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: Don't let the negative play.

411
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 2: Don't start envisioning everything that could go wrong. Don't spend

412
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 2: four hours googling that sickness, finding all the bad reports.

413
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: You don't need that negativity in you.

414
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: Keep the door closed. You need your mind filled with faith.

415
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: With hope.

416
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 2: Father, Thank you that you're fighting this battle. That you

417
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: be informed is more than the world being against me.

418
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: Thank you that what you have purpose for my life

419
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 2: will come to pass. I talked to a young couple.

420
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 2: They'd been trying to have a baby for many years.

421
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: But she couldn't conceive.

422
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,719
Speaker 2: They had been to several doctors and everything seemed fine.

423
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 2: The doctors were puzzled as to why she couldn't get pregnant.

424
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: She was so discouraged, she said, Joel, my mother had

425
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: a terrible time conceiving. My grandmother had the same problem,

426
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 2: and from the time I was a little girl, I

427
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 2: was always afraid that I wouldn't be able to have

428
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 2: a child.

429
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: Job said. The thing I feared came upon me. When

430
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: we give fear a room in our mind, when.

431
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 2: We let those destructive thoughts become strongholds, what we're fearing

432
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 2: can become a reality. That thought I'll never have a

433
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 2: child was an intruder. That's the enemy doing what he

434
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 2: does the best, trying to plant lies, doubts, fears, hoping

435
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: that you'll give it a place in your mind. Victory

436
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: is one or lost in our thinking. You may have

437
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 2: negative things in your family line, but you have to say, father,

438
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: thank you that I'm the exception. Thank you that this

439
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: buriedness is not staying in my family, this addiction, this lack,

440
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 2: this depression. Father, thank you that I'm a difference maker,

441
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 2: that I'm a burrier breaker, that you're doing a new thing,

442
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: that I will live.

443
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: Whole free, victorious.

444
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: Clear out those negative rooms, get those intruders out of

445
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 2: your mind. Put some new tenants in faith, hope, and victory.

446
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 2: That's what I told this young woman. She had to

447
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 2: get rid of that strongholding, quit going around thinking that

448
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 2: she couldn't have a baby. Instead, she tried to different approach.

449
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: She started dwelling on what God said about her father.

450
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: You said, the fruit of my womb is blessed. You

451
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 2: said you'd make me the happy mother of children. You

452
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 2: said that no good thing would you withhold, because I'll

453
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 2: walk up rightly. So Lord, thank you that our baby

454
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: is on the way. Just as fear can draw negative

455
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 2: things in, faith can draw positive things in. About a

456
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 2: year later, she walked into the lobby up there, holding

457
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: this beautiful.

458
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: Baby girl in her arms, beaming from ear to ear.

459
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 2: Are there some intruders occupying your mind?

460
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: Are there tenants you need to evict?

461
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 2: Don't let a stronghold, a lie that's taken root keep

462
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 2: you from your destiny.

463
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 1: Pay attention to what you're giving room to.

464
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: When negative thoughts come, don't be passive, be discipline in.

465
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: What you think about.

466
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 2: Start locking up those thoughts. You have a destiny to fulfill.

467
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,960
