God bless you. It's 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: great to be with you today, and I hope you'll 7 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: stay connected with us during the week through our daily podcast, 8 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: our YouTube channel, social media, and you can come visit 9 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: us in person. We'd love to have you be a 10 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: part of one of our services. I'd like to start 11 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: with something funny. And one day in heaven, God said 12 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: to the men, I want you to form two lines. 13 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: One line is for the men who were the head 14 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,480 Speaker 1: of the house. The other line is for the men 15 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: who let the woman be the head of the house. 16 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: The line where the woman ran the house was one 17 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 1: hundred miles long. The other line only had one man 18 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: in it. God said, men, I'm ashamed of you. I 19 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: created you to be the head, but only one man 20 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: stood up to make me proud. He looked at him 21 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: and said, son, tell them, how did you manage to 22 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: be the only one in this line. The man looked 23 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: confused and said, I don't know. My wife told me 24 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: to send here. Come on, say like you meant it. 25 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says. I am. 26 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do 27 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be 28 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,839 Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 29 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 30 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 31 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: to talk to you today about turn down the noise. 32 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: We are living in the noisiest time in history. There's 33 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: more technology today than ever before. We're inundated with social media, 34 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: twenty four hour news, hundreds of television channels. Marketing experts 35 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: are trained at how to get your attention, clickbaiting, headlines 36 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: exaggerated to see if you'll bite. People can contact us 37 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: to day easier than ever, phone, text, email, direct message. 38 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: I hear my phone buzzing in my sleep the other night. 39 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: It was vibrating by my bed three in the morning. 40 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: I'd usually ignore it, but something said you better check it. 41 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: That's important. I reached over and picked it up. It 42 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: was a newsflash. It says there's a storm coming to Taiwan. 43 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: I thought, I don't need to know about a storm 44 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: in Taiwan. I need to sleep. But many people are 45 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: suffering from information overload. They've taken in so much news, facts, opinions, theories. 46 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: They wonder why they can't sleep, why they're irritable, don't 47 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: enjoy their family. They have too much noise in their life. 48 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: You can't listen to news for hours a day and 49 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: stay peaceful. You can't take in all the killings, accidents, 50 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: wars and stay in faith. That's poisoning your spirit. If 51 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: you live on social media, read all all the gossip, arguing, competing, comparing, 52 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: you're not going to be your best. You have to 53 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: turn down the noise. There are forces trying to get 54 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: your attention, to get you distracted and bring divisiveness. Cause 55 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: you to be jealous, discontent, afraid. What if this happens? 56 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: Is getting so bad? God, sit in Isaiah. If you'll 57 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: keep your mind stayed on me, I will keep you 58 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: in perfect peace. We wonder why we don't have peace. 59 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 1: Our mind is stayed on the wrong things. Now. I'm 60 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: not saying to never watch the news, but after a 61 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: few minutes, you have what you need. Hearing the same 62 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: thing for the next three hours. All that's gonna do 63 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: is get you stirred up and frustrated. Noise is not 64 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: only from technology, but we have people in life that 65 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: are noisy. A coworker doesn't like you, talks behind your back, 66 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: that negative chatter. Maybe a f is noisy. They always 67 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: have drama, something wrong. They're calling you to fix it. 68 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: As you gain more influence, God promotes you. You manage 69 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: the department, you lead the team at school. With that 70 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: promotion comes more noise. People will find fault and be 71 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: critical and jealous. Here's the key. You can't stop the 72 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,239 Speaker 1: noise from coming, but you can turn the noise down. 73 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: Be selective in what you give your time and attention to. 74 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 1: Don't leave the news on at the house in the 75 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: background all through the day, or even drive to and 76 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: from work with that constantly going into you. That's creating 77 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: the wrong atmosphere. How much noise are you allowing from 78 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: what coworkers are saying about you, or dwelling on the 79 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: medical report, worried about your finances? All that noise is 80 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: draining your energy, in taking your creativity and stealing your joy. 81 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: How much more peaceful would you be? How much happier 82 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: would you live. If you start turning down the noise, 83 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: not eliminating it, that's not possible. You're never going to 84 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: stop people from talking about you. Just quit dwelling on it. 85 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: They don't control your destiny. What they say can't stop 86 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: your purpose. God is your vindicator. He's fighting your battles. 87 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: That noise is a distraction to try to get you 88 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: off course. Live worried and upset. One of the most 89 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: important things you have is your time. What you give 90 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: your attention to is incredibly valuable. If the enemy can 91 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: keep you distracted and focused on things that don't matter, 92 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: cluttered by the noise, then he can keep you from 93 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: your destiny. The scripture says to be aware of the 94 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: enemy's schemes and strategies. The noise is a strategy to 95 00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: steal your time, get your worried, frustrated, fighting battles that 96 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: don't matter. No, you have a destiny to fulfill. There's 97 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: a calling on your life, an assignment to accomplish. There's 98 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: nothing more the enemy would love than for you to 99 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: waste your time being distracted by the noise, frustrated over 100 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: things you can't change, responding to people that are not 101 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: a part of your destiny. Letting the negative chatter keep 102 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: you worried and upset. Why don't you turn down the noise. 103 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: You have to keep your mind stayed on him, not 104 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: stayed on the news, not stayed on what your critics said, 105 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: stayed on social media, stayed on that relative's drama. Turn 106 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: that noise down, and you'll have the peace, the joy, 107 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: the favor to become who you were created to be. 108 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: When I get in on an airplane, I have some 109 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: noise canceling headphones that are always wearing, and what's interesting 110 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: is they don't stop the noise. The rumble of the 111 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: engine is still there, the flight attendants on the loud speaker, 112 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: other passengers talking, watching movies, still loud and noisy. These 113 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: headphones simply turn down the noise. In my mind, it's 114 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: not as loud to me. You need some imaginary noise 115 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: canceling headphones to go through life because there's gonna be chatter, gossip, controversy, 116 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: people talking, bad reports. You can't eliminate all that. But 117 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: when you have your mind stayed on him, it's like 118 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: you have those noise canceling headphones on. Even though it's 119 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: loud all around you, you're at peace. You know God's 120 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: in control, you know he's fighting your battles, so you're 121 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: calm in the chaos. You're at rest even when it's noisy. 122 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: But the mistake we make often is we try to 123 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: stop the noise, stop this person from saying things, and 124 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: stop this issue. But you'll never be able to stop 125 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: all the noise. You can't make people do what's right 126 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: and correct every problem. You have to learn to turn 127 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: the noise down. Don't let that get in your spirit. 128 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: A good friend of mine, it's very positive and upbeat. 129 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: But several years ago I could tell he was starting 130 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: to change, like he's bothered by something. He was more 131 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: serious and seemed worried. He told me later how he 132 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: was so concerned about our country and things going on 133 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: that he didn't like. He became consumed watching the news 134 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: and responding on social media, debating with people. He was 135 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: so wrought up and distraught by it all. He got 136 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 1: to where he couldn't sleep at night, started having digestive problems, 137 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: his relationships were strained. All that divisiveness and bitterness began 138 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: to poison him on the inside. And it's good to pray, 139 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: be passionate, do what we can, but he was trying 140 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: to stop the noise, people to change their opinions. He 141 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: wasn't going to be happy unless everyone agreed with him. 142 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: You can't control what people do. Do your part and 143 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: then turn it over to God. He finally got so 144 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: frustrated he made the decision to stop watching the news. 145 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: Within a few weeks, he started sleeping soundly again. All 146 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: that insomnia went away. He'd been dealing with terrible anxiety, 147 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: and that went away too. Today he's back to his 148 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: normal self, happy, fun to be around. It makes a 149 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: difference what you're allowing in. If you let noise clutter 150 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: your mind, negative news, worried, divisiveness, it's not only going 151 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:49,239 Speaker 1: to take your joy, but it's going to affect you physically. Stress, frustration, 152 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: that's weakening our immune system where it doesn't fight off 153 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: disease like it should. Noise comes to us all in 154 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: different ways. Maybe people that are not for you, worried 155 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: about your finances, something you're watching that's not doing any good. 156 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: It's just things to get your stirred up. Drama, controversy, 157 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: opinions that noise is keeping you from enjoying your family, 158 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: pursuing your dreams. If you're going to stay in peace, 159 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: you have to be on the offensive. It's not going 160 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: to happen by accidents. We're living in a day where 161 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: the noise has been turned up louder than ever. There's 162 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: never been a time where it's been so divisive and 163 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: so many distractions, so much competing for our attention. Since 164 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: the noise has been turned up, we have to become 165 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: experts at turning down the noise, tuning out the chatter, 166 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: not dwelling on the drama. You have the volume control. 167 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: You get to choose what you allow in your mind. 168 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll get a call on my cell phone and 169 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: I look at the screen and it says potential. I 170 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: don't think twice. I don't need any more noise in 171 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: my life. I have enough people to take care of. 172 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: I have enough challenges to overcome, enough dreams to accomplish 173 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: any chance I have. I'm going to turn down the noise. 174 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: I value my time. We should feel responsible for what 175 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: God has given us. Each day is a gift. We 176 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: are told to make the most of our time. You 177 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: can't be your best with a bunch of noise cluttering 178 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: your thinking, clouding your vision. Some of the things we're 179 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: allowing in our mind is like spam. It's serving no purpose. 180 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: It's a distractions that person trying to get you upset, coworker, gossiping, 181 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: listening to the news, driving home, making it irritable, lay 182 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,839 Speaker 1: it in bed, worried about that child, over and over. 183 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: That's noise trying to get you anxious, confused, overwhelmed, like 184 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: you do on your phone. When you see that word spam, 185 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: you need to hit the end button. No thanks, I 186 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: don't have time for noise. I don't have time to 187 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: be distracted. I have a destiny to fulfill. See, so 188 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: much is fighting for your attention today. It's because peace 189 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: is power. When you're in peace, you're more creative. When 190 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: you're peaceful, you make better decisions. When your mind is 191 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: not cluttered. You can hear from God. Many times he's speaking, 192 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: but it's so noisy, so loud with news, drama and worry, 193 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: we can't hear him. He speaks in a still small voice. 194 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: One translation says a whisper. If you're going to hear 195 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: a whisper, you have to get quiet. If you're going 196 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: to stay on the best path for your life, you 197 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: have to clear out the things that are distracting, bringing 198 00:12:55,160 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: frustration and worry. It may mean spending less time with 199 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: certain people. Some people are peace dealers, no offense, but 200 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: they're noisy. They always have a problem. There's some kind 201 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: of drama. They'll try to draw you in. You have 202 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: enough drama in your own life. You don't need their drama. 203 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: Just because they call doesn't mean you have to answers. 204 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's not the right time. You don't have the 205 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: emotional energy to deal with it. You have to protect 206 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: your peace, keep yourself emotionally healthy. But Joe, that wouldn't 207 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: be right if I don't answer, they may get upset. 208 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,719 Speaker 1: Usually the noisiest people make the most withdraws, but they 209 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: make the least deposits. They expect you to always come running, 210 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: keep them fixed, solve their problem, cheer them up. But 211 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: when you need something they're not around. Don't take on 212 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: a false sense of responsibility. You are not respond for 213 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: their happiness. Every person is responsible for their own happiness. 214 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: Be selective with whom you're spending time, who you are 215 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: allowing to get close to you. Are they adding value 216 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: making you better? Or are they just adding noise, drama, confusion. 217 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: That's a distraction. Always be kind, be respectful, but don't 218 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: let them control you. Don't let them dump their problems 219 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: expect you to fix them. If you don't take charge, 220 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: all this noise will clutter your life and keep you 221 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: from your purpose. Well, if I don't answer their call, 222 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: if I don't do what they expect, they may get irritated. 223 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: They may not be my friend anymore. God just answers 224 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: your prayer. How about the people at the office, people 225 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: you eat lunch with, maybe some of them talking bad 226 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: about the boss, don't light the company, and how this 227 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: new policy is not fair, stirring up trouble, so in discord, gossiping, disgruntled. 228 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: The problem is that spirit can get off on you 229 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: where you become disgruntled, complaining, repeating negative things. That's poisoning you. 230 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: Why don't you find someplace else to eat lunch. Everyone 231 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: else may be noisy, but that's not who you are. 232 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: Keep your mind in peace, keep your spirit in faith. 233 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: This is one of the main things that holds people 234 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: back who they're spending time with. If you're hanging out 235 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: with noisy people, you're gonna get distracted, start to compromise, 236 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: become jealous. Don't let their noise keep you from your destiny. 237 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: If you'll make a change, God will bring your friends 238 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: that lift you up and not pull you down, people 239 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: that bring out the best in you and not the worst. 240 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: No one was more loving and caring than Jesus, But 241 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: he even knew that he couldn't meet all the needs 242 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: and fulfill everyone's expectations. He lets some people down. There 243 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: were crowds all around him, people needing healing, people needing prayer, 244 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: needing encouragement. But the scripture says he often withdrew to 245 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: a quiet place to be alone. Went up in the mountains. 246 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: He was dealing with all kinds of noise, demands, negative chatter, 247 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: people that didn't understand him, religious leaders trying to trick him. 248 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: He couldn't stop all the noise, but he didn't know 249 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: how to turn it down. Quiet as mind quiet, his 250 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: spirit lived from a place of peace on a regular basis. 251 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: We need to take inventory of what's in our mind, 252 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: pay attention to any clutter, worry, offense, fear. Do, like Jesus, 253 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: make that decision to get quiet and turn all that down, 254 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: come back to a place of peace. Years ago, I 255 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: used to get my hair cut by this lady. She's 256 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: very nice, very faithful, but she was so negative. Every 257 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 1: time I went, she told me how mistreated she was, 258 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: and how she couldn't pay her rent, and how she 259 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: was dealing with health issues, on and on, and I 260 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: went out of my way to help her paid her rent. 261 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 1: Some called her mom to encourage her, and I was 262 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: glad to do it. But after about four years of 263 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: hearing that same sad story, how unfair life was, I 264 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: started dreading getting my haircut. I didn't want to go 265 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: see her, but I felt obligated. I'm too nice. I 266 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: didn't want to disappoint her, and man, if I don't go, 267 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: what's she gonna think? One day I realized what I'm 268 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 1: telling you, that my peace is important, that my time 269 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: is valuable, that I cannot fulfill my destiny if I'm 270 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 1: living with unnecessary noise, burden down with problems that are 271 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: not my responsibility. And I realized this lady didn't want 272 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: to change. She was addicted to drama, comfortable in dysfunction. 273 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: Living as a victim was all she had known. And 274 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: I believe in helping people going the extra mile, But 275 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: some people don't want to be helped. They won't put 276 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: forth the effort, be disciplined in their thinking and willing 277 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: to make changes. And the problem is if you don't 278 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: make a change, their noise will clutter your life. Their 279 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: drama will become your drama. To turn down the noise, 280 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: you may have to spend less time with certain people. 281 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: Here's the deal. You shouldn't feel guilty. God has entrusted 282 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: you with gifts, with time, and with purpose. You have 283 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: a responsibility to use what He's given you wisely. When 284 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: we come to the end of life, we're not gonna 285 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: answer to people. We're gonna answer to God. He's gonna 286 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: ask what did you do with what I gave you? 287 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: Were you a good steward of what I entrusted you with? 288 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,479 Speaker 1: If your mind is cluttered with noise, drama and news, man, 289 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: I got to keep them happy and guilty from my mistakes, 290 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: worried about my future. You won't step in to who 291 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: you were created to be. Why don't you do like Jesus, 292 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: get along to a quiet place every day. You have 293 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: to turn down the noise, the negative chatter, what people 294 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: are saying, the worry that tries to dominate, the doom 295 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: and gloom that might happen. You have the volume control. 296 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: Stay in peace. That's where The power is when you're 297 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: in peace, God is fighting your battles. When you're at rest, 298 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: angels go to work. Things will happen that you couldn't 299 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: make happen. This is what Peter did and Act chapter twelve, 300 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: King Herod had him arrested for sharing his faith. He 301 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: was put in the dungeon, his hands and feet in chain, 302 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: sixteen guards outside his cell. The Apostle James had been 303 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: killed just a little earlier. When Herod saw how this 304 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: pleased the people, he had Peter arrested. The next day, 305 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: Peter was going on trial. He knew this could be 306 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 1: the last night of his life. You could imagine the 307 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: noise in his mind, how loud those thoughts were telling him, 308 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: You're done, man, it's over. There's no way out of this, Peter, 309 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 1: all this worry, fear, panic. But I love what it 310 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,479 Speaker 1: says about Peter. While he was asleep that night, an 311 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: angel showed up to rescue him. How could he be asleep? 312 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: You would think Peter would be pacing the floor, stressed out, 313 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,239 Speaker 1: overcome with worry. But Peter knew this secret, how to 314 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: turn down the noise. I can see him before he 315 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: laid down that night, Father, my life is in your hands. 316 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: I know nothing can snatch me away. If it's not 317 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: my time to go, I'm not gonna go. The scripture says, 318 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: those who have believed enter into rest. One sign that 319 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: you're believing is you're at peace. You're not worried, stressed out, 320 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: wondering if you're gonna make it. You know God is 321 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: in control. You've seen his faithfulness, so you too can 322 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: sleep in the storm. You trust in the trouble. You 323 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: rest when you could be worried. You may be in 324 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: a storm. Now the negative voices are loud. This sickness 325 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: is gonna finish you off. This addiction will always limit you. 326 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: You'll never see your family restored. It says, the enemy 327 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: goes about as a roaring lion. The thoughts, the roars, 328 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: the threats. That's what he specializes in, being loud, noisy, overwhelming. 329 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: The good news is he's all bark and no bite. 330 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: It's just a roar. He's not a lion. He's like 331 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: a lion. He doesn't control your destinies. He can't stop 332 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,239 Speaker 1: what God has purpose for you. Now, the key is, 333 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: don't let the roar intimidate you, cause you to quit 334 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: believing and give up on your dreams. You have the 335 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: volume control. Turn down the noise when you hear those 336 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: discouraging thoughts. Just imagine looking at your phone and seeing 337 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: the word spam. That's all it is. Lies to get 338 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 1: your worried, upset thinking it's never going to work out. 339 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: It's real simple. Hit the end button, don't give it 340 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: the time of day, turn down the negative chatter, and 341 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: turn up what God promised you. No weapon formed against 342 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: me will prosper. God is restoring health. Beckon to me. 343 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. 344 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: The middle of the night, an angel showed up in 345 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: the prison. And this light shines so brightly like sunlight. 346 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: All this commotion, but the scripture says Peter didn't wake up. 347 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: He was sleeping so soundly. The angel had to go 348 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: shake him to wake him up. He was so at peace, 349 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: so at rest, even though the next morning he could 350 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: have lost his life. That's what happens when you learn 351 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: to turn down the noise. You don't let the roars 352 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: and threats dominate your thinking, but you keep your mind 353 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: stayed on him. That means keep it stayed on what 354 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: he says about you. When that thought roars you'll always 355 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: have this illness. You saw the medical report. Turn that 356 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: down and turn up. With long life. God will satisfy me. 357 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: I will live and not die. You'll always struggle in 358 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: your finances. Your business isn't gonna make it. Turn that down, 359 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: turn up. I will lend and not borrow. I'll live 360 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: under the open windows of heaven. When you can sleep 361 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: in the storm, you're showing God that you trust him. 362 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: When you're in peace, when you should be upset, you're 363 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: at rest, when you could be worried afraid. That's when 364 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: supernatural things will happen. Angels show up. You can see 365 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: that child. Your business takes off. Your health turns around. Now, 366 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: don't let the noise talk you out of it. The 367 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,239 Speaker 1: noise is a test. You can't get away from it. 368 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 1: But you control the volume. You can turn it down. 369 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: The angel walked Peter out of the prison. Doors opened 370 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: of their own accord. The soldiers didn't see Peter leaving. 371 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: God made him invisible to the enemy. See. Herod thought 372 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: he was going to stop Peter, but the scripture says 373 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: right after Peter got out, Herod got sick and suddenly died. 374 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: Peter went on to fulfill his destiny. The psawmist said, 375 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: the trap the enemy set for you, they will fall 376 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: in themselves. Don't believe all the noise, the roars from 377 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: the lion telling you it's never going to work out. 378 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: What God started, he will finish. The enemy wouldn't be 379 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: roaring if he didn't know amazing things were in your future. 380 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: Why don't you come back to a place of peace today? 381 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 1: This is one reason we have digestive problems, can't sleep, 382 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: high blood pressure, Our mind is never at rest. There's 383 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: so much noise. We lay in bed at night. It's 384 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: quiet in the room, but it's noisy in our mind. 385 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: Thoughts playing over and over. What if that angel doesn't 386 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 1: show up, your health doesn't improve, and you don't meet anyone, 387 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 1: Your company has layoffs. That noise won't go away on 388 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: its own. It's a decision you have to make that 389 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna turn it down. You're not gonna keep dwelling 390 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: on all the discouraging, fearful thoughts. You're gonna tune out 391 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: the negative news and chatter that's poisoning your spirits. And 392 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: you're not gonna hang around people that are constantly dumping 393 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: their drama, distracting you from your purpose. You're gonna keep 394 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: your mind state on him. How much more peace would 395 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: you have if it wasn't stayed on the news, Stay 396 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: on the dow, stay on the drama, Take inventory of 397 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: what's playing in your mind. Pay attention to what you're 398 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 1: dwelling on. Life is too short to live it anxious, worried, 399 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: and trouble. Every morning you have to put on those 400 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: noise canceling headphones. You can't stop all the negative chatter, 401 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: but you can keep it turned down. If you'll do this, 402 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: I believe and declare, like Peter, you're gonna sleep in 403 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: the storm. Supernatural peace. Angels are gonna show up and 404 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: open right doors, bring healing, favor, abundance, the fullness of 405 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: your destiny in Jesus' name, and if you receive it, 406 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: can you say amen? I'd like to give you an 407 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would 408 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent 409 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: of my sins. Come into my heart. I make you 410 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,479 Speaker 1: my Lord and savior.

We'd love to send 412 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 1: you some free information on your new walk with the Lord. 413 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: You can text the number on the screen or go 414 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: to the website.
