Speaker 4: are making some decisions or plans, amen setting some goals,

Speaker 4: maybe gonna break some habits, change a few things around.

42
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 4: You know, you're excited, something stirring in You're in your

43
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 4: in your spirit. You're thinking I can do this, this

44
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 4: is this is great, this is a possibility. You know. However,

45
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 4: you answered that question. You know what that is you're

46
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 4: feeling on the inside. It's your potential. It's what you're

47
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 4: capable of. It's not what you've already accomplished, but it's

48
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 4: what you can accomplish. You see, within sight of each

49
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 4: one of us is great potential. God has put it

50
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 4: on the inside of us. We have the capacity to

51
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 4: produce more than we're producing right now. We can all

52
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 4: go to new levels with God. We can all walk

53
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 4: in a greater annointing. We can all do more for God.

54
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 4: I'm really safe to say that we all have this

55
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 4: capacity to do more. We have more inside of us.

56
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 4: But how do we get what's in us out of us?

57
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 4: By self discipline and self control? Joel praised it over

58
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 4: us every week in the service. He prays that we

59
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 4: will have focus, discipline, self control. As we all stand

60
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 4: with our arms up, we receive it because we know

61
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: we need it. We need it if we're going to

62
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 4: develop the potential on the inside of us. You see,

63
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 4: when we have strong discipline and self control, it builds

64
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 4: our inner man. And when you have a strong inner man,

65
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,839
Speaker 4: you can produce a strong outer man. We all can

66
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 4: have it because it's a fruit of the spirit. Discipline

67
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 4: and self control is a characteristic of God, and we're

68
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 4: supposed to be more like God. We're supposed to go

69
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 4: after the things of God. God said, you can have

70
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 4: this because I've already given it to you. You just

71
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 4: have to develop it. You have to exercise it so

72
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 4: that that potential that's in you can come out. You see,

73
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 4: and self control puts a demand on our inner mand,

74
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 4: simple as that. It puts a demand and a strain

75
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 4: on our inner mand. You know, it's just like exercise.

76
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 4: If you don't put a demand on your muscle, they

77
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 4: won't grow. Discipline and self control puts a demand on

78
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 4: that inner mand causes it to be strong. Listen to

79
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 4: what it says in Proverbs twenty five to eight. It says,

80
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 4: whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like

81
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 4: a city with broken down walls. You see, in those days,

82
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 4: walls represented strength. Behind those strong walls were people that

83
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 4: were protected. You see, when the enemy saw a city

84
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 4: with strong walls with its gates closed, it was not

85
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 4: able to enter into that city and harm the people

86
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 4: because it was difficult to get in. Because the peace

87
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 4: people even had made sure those walls were strong. They

88
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:08,679
Speaker 4: participated in keeping the walls strong, and those boundaries didn't

89
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 4: leave them exposed. And see today your self discipline, your

90
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 4: self control. When you exercise that, it represents strength in

91
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 4: your life. It doesn't leave you exposed to all the

92
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 4: enemy's tactics, all the temptations, all the way he wants

93
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 4: to get you off course. See when you rule over

94
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 4: your spirit, which is your inner man, making the decisions,

95
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 4: you are strong. You can resist. The enemy can't just

96
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 4: come in and do what he wants to do, because

97
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 4: you've erected some walls in your life. You see, Paul

98
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 4: calls it the flesh. See, the flesh wants to make

99
00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: all the decisions. The flesh wants to tell you what's good.

100
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 4: It wants to run wild. It doesn't want to be

101
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: under control. It wants no boundaries. See, the flesh wants

102
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 4: to rule you. That's your feelings, your emotions, your thought life.

103
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 4: It wants to rule you. It doesn't want it to

104
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 4: be under control of the spirit man. See that's where

105
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 4: the conflict comes in. You got your spirit man, and

106
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 4: you got your flesh, and there's this struggle. But you

107
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 4: have to say, no, I'm not gonna let the flesh

108
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 4: run wild. But I'm gonna put it under control with

109
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 4: my strong spirit. Man. See, the flesh will eat three

110
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 4: bowls of ice cream. The flesh will spend money you

111
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 4: don't have. The flesh is easily offended. The flesh will

112
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 4: say what it wants to and cause an argument. The

113
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 4: flesh is lazy. It wants you to believe that self

114
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 4: control and discipline are a bad thing. It's a negative

115
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 4: in your life. I want you to say this, all

116
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 4: have to be disciplined today. This is what I can't do,

117
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 4: This is what I can't eat, this is what I

118
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 4: can't spend. See, that's what the flesh wants you to think.

119
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 4: It's it's a bad thing. But can I tell you

120
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 4: that discipline and self control are not our enemies, but

121
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 4: there are weapons.

122
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 5: They are the.

123
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 4: Tools God gave us to succeed and to be to

124
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 4: reach this full potential. See, discipline should say this. I'm

125
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 4: not gonna sit on the couch all day and watch TV.

126
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 4: I'm a productive person. I'm gonna get with it. I'm

127
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 4: gonna get busy. The spirit says this, Man, I'm budgeting

128
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,239
Speaker 4: my money because I've got goals. I've got some things

129
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do in this life. I'm gonna reach my goals.

130
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna live in a deficit all the time,

131
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna live in an overflow state. So I'm

132
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 4: not gonna run out and spend everything that my eyes see.

133
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 4: I am self controlled. See. The flesh wants you to

134
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 4: eat everything. It wants you to not take care of

135
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 4: your temple. But discipline says, listen, this is my body,

136
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 4: this is what God gave me. I'm gonna put good

137
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 4: stuff in. I'm gonna rest, I'm gonna take care of

138
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 4: my body. I'm gonna exercise. This is what's getting me around,

139
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 4: and I want it to look good and I want

140
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 4: to feel good in it. Right Listen, if you had

141
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 4: a Rolls Royce, you wouldn't put the cheapest gas you

142
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 4: could find in it. Can I tell you you're driving

143
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 4: around in a pretty darn good looking vehicle. You need

144
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 4: to put the good stuff in. Self control. Discipline is

145
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 4: not your enemy, it's your friend. Every time you choose

146
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 4: discipline and self control, you know what, you're saying, no

147
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 4: to the enemy. No, you can't have your way in

148
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 4: my life. You're building those walls. You're becoming strong, fortified.

149
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 4: You're not just letting any old thing have its way

150
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 4: in your life. We have to change our mindsets. We

151
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 4: have to think in a higher capacity. See, self control

152
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 4: is a gift from the spirit. Now, can I tell

153
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 4: you some people can discipline themselves better than others. You know,

154
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 4: we've got all kinds of dispositions and personalities, and some

155
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 4: people may find it easier. Some people may find it

156
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 4: a little more difficult. You may have to really identify

157
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 4: some things. But let me tell you, if you were

158
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 4: easily disciplined, and you were easy at that, there's eight

159
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 4: other fruits of the spirit you might need to check into. Patience, kindness, goodness.

160
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: There's always some potential calling out to you. There's always

161
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 4: going to be a demand on your inner strength. Listen

162
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 4: to what it says in Hebrews twelve eleven. It says,

163
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 4: no discipline at the time seems pleasant, but later on

164
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 4: it will produce a great harvest of righteousness. Discipline produces

165
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 4: a harvest in your life. It does something for you.

166
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 4: It's your friend. See, we need to think more about

167
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 4: the later on. Your flesh, your feelings wants to tell

168
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 4: you about the right now, doesn't want to tell you

169
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 4: about the later on. It wants to tell you. What's

170
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 4: going to feel good right now? What's easy right now?

171
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 4: The easy way out right now. But see, your potential

172
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 4: is saying, step back, I think about the later on.

173
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 4: How do you want to feel later on? Flesh always

174
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 4: gives temporary pleasure. It always talks to you about the temporary,

175
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 4: But discipline talks to you about the eternal, the important

176
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 4: things in life. Can I encourage every one of us

177
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 4: that you've got great treasure on the inside of you.

178
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 4: Twenty seventeen is going to be your gear. You have

179
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 4: discipline and self control. It's a fruit of the spirit.

180
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 4: You just got to exercise it. Let it put a

181
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 4: demand on your inner strength and your inner man. Some

182
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 4: of you may need to just identify a couple areas.

183
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 4: You know, it's difficult to fix everything at once, right,

184
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 4: but when we identify an area or two that we

185
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 4: realize maybe need to be built up, maybe need to

186
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 4: be strengthened. Maybe you just need to close some gates.

187
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: Maybe you need to get out of some things that

188
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 4: you have no business being in. Let go of a

189
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 4: few people that are breaking down your walls, breaking down

190
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 4: your inner strength. See, maybe you just need to identify

191
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 4: it and ask God, God help me. He wants to

192
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 4: walk with you. He wants to help you focus on

193
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 4: it and let that self control and discipline bring a

194
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 4: great harvest in your life. Amen. Hey man, God is

195
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 4: good and he's good all the time.
