1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joelan Victoria. Thanks so much for listening 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: to the podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. We 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: believe you're gonna have an awesome twenty twenty four, healthy, productive, 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: and favor filled. God bless you today and enjoyed a message. 5 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 2: Yes, thank you Lord. We do believe Father showing up 6 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 2: has made a difference. As we sing that song, I 7 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 2: just want to remind us about something. See, God has 8 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 2: given us his grace. He's covered us all of our 9 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: failures and all of our mistakes. He's never gonna fail us. 10 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 2: He's always gonna love us. What a beautiful position to 11 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 2: be in, such a secure position to be in. In fact, 12 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 2: when you think about that, it makes you want to 13 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 2: do better, It makes you want to rise higher. In fact, 14 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 2: the scripture says it's the goodness of God that leads 15 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 2: us to repentance. You could say it like this, it's 16 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 2: the goodness of God that works in us and makes 17 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: us better, makes us into the people He's called us 18 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 2: to be. See the same goodness, the same love, the 19 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 2: same unfailing love. It not only is for us, but 20 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 2: it's for those around us. It's for our family, it's 21 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 2: for our spouses, our children, our relatives, our neighbor. You see, 22 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: God blesses us and gives us this, not to hold 23 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 2: on to it for ourselves, not to say, oh, this 24 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 2: is so great God. No, he blesses us so that 25 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 2: we can spread the blessing, so that we can give 26 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 2: the favor, so that we can be that conduit on 27 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 2: this earth. It's called the hands and feet of Jesus. 28 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 2: And I want us to believe with all of our 29 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 2: heart that we are so covered and so loved that 30 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 2: we are able to do the same for other people. 31 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 2: I want to talk today about our families, making sure 32 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 2: we are covering our families, making sure we are loving them, 33 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: considering them, not just putting them on our to do list, 34 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: but putting them on our to love list every day. 35 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 2: Are you loving the gifts that God has giving you? 36 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,119 Speaker 2: You see, children, the Bible says that they're a heritage, 37 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 2: They're a gift from God. See, we're not just supposed 38 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 2: to work for them. We're supposed to enjoy them. We're 39 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: supposed to celebrate with them our spouses. They are a 40 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: gift from God. They are someone to help us grow 41 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: and learn and live life together. Are we putting them 42 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: on our love list every single day. I've been married 43 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,679 Speaker 2: to Joel for thirty years, and I got to tell 44 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: you this. I still have to remind myself is he 45 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 2: on my love list? Because you know it's fine. At first, 46 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,279 Speaker 2: you can get all excited, you have a little goosebumps. 47 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 2: Everything is so wonderful. But as years go by, you 48 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: have to continue to stir up the love and the excitement. 49 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 2: I have to remind myself I cannot quit being Joel's 50 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 2: biggest cheerleader. I can't quit telling him how proud I 51 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 2: am of him, how excited I am that I'm his wife. 52 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 2: I can't quit being my very best so that I'll 53 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 2: reflect the very best on him. You see, one of 54 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: the greatest ways to love each other is to live 55 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: at our very best, to set the tone for the 56 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 2: life we want to live. You see, you set the 57 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: tone and the atmosphere for your life. You're not a thermometer. 58 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 2: A thermometer measures the temperature, but a thermostat sets the temperature. 59 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: It sets the tone. And God has empowered every one 60 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 2: of us through his love, his grace, his mercy, to 61 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: set the tone and the temperature for our life and 62 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 2: for the lives of other It says in Hebrews ten 63 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 2: twenty four. Let us consider how we may spur one 64 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 2: another on towards love and good deeds. You see, if 65 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 2: you can spur someone on in God's love, listen, those 66 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 2: good deeds will follow. If you can strengthen them in 67 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 2: God's love, then their life will become better. You see, 68 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: it was the love that raised Jesus from the dead. 69 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 2: Love is powerful. Love covers all. Love is the end 70 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: all be all. When you don't know what to do, 71 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 2: God is saying, love them anyway, Just love them anyway, 72 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: because it's a powerful force. He first loved us, so 73 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 2: we can I love others. So I think about that 74 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 2: scripture and I think to myself, how can I spur 75 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 2: my family on? I have to consider it. That means 76 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: I have to meditate on it. I have to think 77 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 2: about it. I can't do it the same way all 78 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 2: the time. I don't put it on an autopilot. I consider, 79 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 2: I meditate, I dwell what works best in this situation. 80 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 2: You know, when I think about how to spur or 81 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 2: cheer someone on, I think about the attitude of a cheerleader. Okay, 82 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 2: I was never a cheerleader in high school, although I 83 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 2: wish I would have. I guess I missed my calling. 84 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 2: But I can be a cheerleader right here to my family. 85 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 2: I can share them on. And it's not so much 86 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 2: about raw raw raw. It's about an attitude. You think 87 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 2: about being at the high school game and there's the 88 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: cheerleader on the sidelines. What's the attitude of those cheerleaders. 89 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 2: The attitude is a winning attitude. You see when the 90 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: scoreboard is in their favor, pom poms are up and 91 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 2: they are cheering their team on. When the scoreboard is 92 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: down and their team is fumbling the ball and they 93 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 2: don't seem to be able to get it together, their 94 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: tone never changes. They have a winning tone, just a 95 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 2: different chant. That's when you'll hear defense, defense, But their 96 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 2: tone is still pointing the team towards winning. It's saying, hey, 97 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 2: we can score, let's keep our spirits high. I have 98 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 2: never ever seen the scoreboard down on the team that 99 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 2: the cheerleaders were rooting for. Man, the guys are fumbling 100 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 2: the ball. It doesn't look good. The cheerleader puts your 101 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 2: pom poms down, shakes her head, says, I'm out of here. 102 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 2: I've never seen it. That's not the attitude of a cheerleader. 103 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 2: A cheerleader knows how to keep the spirits up, but 104 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 2: may chant a little different when need be, but always 105 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 2: points their team to the winning goal. And that's what 106 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: I want us to think about. What is your attitude 107 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 2: towards those difficult situations when maybe your husband, your wife, 108 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 2: your children, they don't seem to be able to get 109 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 2: it together. Man, they keep fumbling the ball? What's going on? 110 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 2: What do you do? What do you do when they 111 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 2: do score? Do you take time to celebrate, to shout, 112 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 2: to tell them how proud you are of them? You see, 113 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 2: you got to keep this attitude in the good times 114 00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 2: and in the bad times. It's called consistency. We're gonna 115 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 2: set the tone for our family and we're going to 116 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 2: create the life that we want to live with our family. 117 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 2: We're gonna have to be consistent. We're gonna have to 118 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 2: keep the tone of a winner. Listen, the last thing 119 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 2: I want to hear when I'm fumbling the ball is 120 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 2: what you do that for loser. I know that I'm 121 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 2: fumbling the ball. I know that I haven't done well. 122 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: I'm trying. I need someone to support me, to prop 123 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 2: me up, to direct me towards the goal. I need 124 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 2: to know that I can score. I don't need to 125 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 2: be told that I'm fumbling the ball. I need someone 126 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 2: there for me. It's interesting because the Bible says give 127 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: to other people what you want. That's a good way 128 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 2: to keep it all into perspective when you're facing difficulties, 129 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 2: when you're facing difficult situations with family members. And I 130 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 2: know there are some family members that seem to never 131 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 2: be able to get it right. But can I tell 132 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 2: you if you get it wrong, it's not going to 133 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 2: change a thing. If you decide to tell them how 134 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 2: bad they are, that's not gonna change a thing. But 135 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 2: if you'll get this tone, this winning tone, right, you 136 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 2: have a better chance of propping them up and helping them. 137 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 2: You see, it's our response. Are we walking in a 138 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 2: place of peace? Where do we get that peace? We 139 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 2: get it from God. You know what I said before, 140 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 2: We get everything from God. We can only live this 141 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 2: life in victory by getting it from God. You see, 142 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 2: He's giving it to us so that we can give 143 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 2: it to others. I realized when my daughter was about 144 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 2: eight years old how important my response was. That it 145 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 2: set the tone for what would go on Joel. I 146 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 2: think it was maybe his first book or second book, 147 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 2: and we were as a family traveling all over the country. 148 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 2: The publisher had set all of these books signings up 149 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 2: in different dates, and so they had chartered us a 150 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 2: little plane, and we were going all over the country. 151 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 2: Sometimes we would be in three different states in one day, 152 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: and so we have always done this ministry as a family. 153 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 2: So we had I had my little eight year old 154 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 2: girl in my little my probably about eleven year old son, 155 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 2: and so we'd probably go into our second state. And 156 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 2: it was the middle of the day and we were 157 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 2: going in this little plane and my eight year old daughter, Alexander, 158 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 2: was sitting across from me, and we were just kind 159 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 2: of hanging chilling a little bit, when all of a sudden, 160 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 2: the oxygen masks falls from the ceiling and I just panicked, 161 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 2: big old eyes, huge gasp. I was like, we're dead. 162 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 2: My little eight year old girl didn't know what was 163 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: going on, but the tone setter was panicking. The mom 164 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: and the bunch was freaking out, so she immediately began 165 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 2: to cry, just ball. All of a sudden, she so 166 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 2: me and it just let go of an emotion of 167 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 2: this is a bad situation, and I realized, Wow, I 168 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 2: just set the tone for her. She was looking at me, 169 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: and I set the tone for panic, for fear, for difficulty, 170 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 2: for doubt, for unbelief. If I would have sat there 171 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 2: and kept my cool and thought, you know what, if 172 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 2: I scream, it's not gonna keep this plane in the air, 173 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 2: If I freak out, it's not gonna change anything. If 174 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 2: I could have just realized that my response made all 175 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 2: the difference in the world. Now, Needless to say, the 176 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 2: pilot came up and said, sorry, a little bit of 177 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 2: a malfunction as he crammed the thing back up in 178 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 2: the ceiling, thanked God in heaven. I was like, oh, 179 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 2: but it showed me my response is powerful. And I 180 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 2: tell that little story to say, your response is powerful. 181 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 2: Whether your child is eight years old, eighteen years old, 182 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 2: or thirty eight years old. Your response, you set the tone. 183 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 2: It's powerful. When I call my mom on the phone 184 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 2: to this day, she literally has the power to set 185 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 2: the tone for me, whether I like it or not. 186 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 2: There's a powerful thing because it's called the anointing of 187 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 2: being a parent. It's just the way God made it. 188 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 2: So I want to remind you today and myself. Are 189 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 2: we going to celebrate in the good times and are 190 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 2: we going to keep that winning spirit in the difficult times. See, 191 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 2: it's all about our tone. It's all about the temperature. 192 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 2: It's all about the winning spirit. And I believe if 193 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 2: we will do that and we get that from God, 194 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 2: we're gonna set the tone and have a great life, 195 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 2: not only for ourselves but for our families. Listen, if 196 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 2: you want to pray right now, put your hand up 197 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 2: in there, because I'm gonna pray for our families here 198 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 2: at Lakewood Church. I believe that we are going to 199 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 2: have strong families, that we're going to continue to have 200 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 2: strong families.

God, that you would help them right 207 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 2: now in Jesus' name, that your strength would come in. Father, 208 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 2: that you'd send labors across their path, that we could 209 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 2: live an example as a light to them. Father, Lord, 210 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 2: I thank you God that you will help them and 211 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 2: Father grow our families strong, to love one another, to 212 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 2: be there for one another, to stick together. Father, I 213 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 2: think you will never give up on them. We'll never 214 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 2: run out of love for them. God, but we will 215 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 2: keep that winning tone and that winning atmosphere, even if 216 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 2: the chance it sounds a little different. God, I think 217 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 2: you will continue to point those we love towards You, 218 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 2: towards the high road and towards better days.

Thank you Father that you are 223 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 2: working in the lives of the families here at Lakewood Church. 224 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 2: You are breathing in their direction.
