1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks so much for

Speaker 1: and I hope you'll stay connected with us during the

00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: week through our daily podcast, our YouTube channel on social media,

Speaker 1: and you can come visit us in person. We'd love

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: to have you be a part of one of our services.

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: And I'd like to start with something funny. And I

11
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: heard about this lady. She had just gotten out of

12
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: choir practice and she was so fired up she put

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: a hank if you love Jesus bumper sticker on her car.

14
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: Now at the intersection, she was digging in her purse

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: and didn't notice the light had changed. She said, I

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: was so excited to find out the God behind me

17
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: loved Jesus. He started hanking, So I rolled my window

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: down way real big and said, I love Jesus too.

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: She said, I found out a whole lot of people

20
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: love Jesus. Everyone started honking. One man even screamed Jesus Christ,

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: she said, after we shared all that love together, I

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: was the only one that made it through the intersection.

23
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

24
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: I am what it says I am. I have what

25
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: it says I have. I can do what it says

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

27
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my

28
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name,

29
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: God bless you. I want to talk to you today

30
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: about a sound mind. There are so many opportunities to

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: live worried, afraid, wondering what's going to happen. You watch

32
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: the news and see all the violence, suffering division. Someone

33
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: texted me last week and said, this is such a

34
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: scary time to be alive. People are on edge thinking

35
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: what if the economy goes down? What if the medical

36
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: report doesn't improve? How can I accomplish my dreams. I

37
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: don't have the connections. It's easy to let our mind

38
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: be filled with negativity and doubt, fear. That's the enemy's

39
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: favorite area to work in. He knows if he can

40
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: control your thoughts, he can control your life. But Paul

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: said in second Timothy. God has not giving us a

42
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and

43
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: of a sound mind. A sound mind is a positive mind,

44
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: a hopeful mind. It's a mind that's at peace, a

45
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: mind that knows that God's in control, that he's ordering

46
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: your steps. A sound mind is not focused on the problems.

47
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: It's focused on the promises. It's not looking at how

48
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: big the challenge is. It's looking at how big our

49
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: God is. A sound mind is not discouraged over the

50
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: bad break. It's expecting God to open a new door.

51
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: It's not bitter over who walked away. It's knowing God

52
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: has someone better coming. That's the way God created us

53
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: to live, positive, peaceful, trusting. But so many people go

54
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: around with the troubled mind. I don't see how this

55
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: problem is gonna work out. A worried mind. What if

56
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: my company has layoffs? Doubting mind, I'll never meet the

57
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: right person. A negative mind. I can't break this addiction.

58
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: I've had it for years. What kind of mind do

59
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: you have? What are you thinking about all through the day.

60
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: Your life is going to follow your thoughts, and the

61
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: scripture says, let this same mind be in you that

62
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: was in Christ Jesus. This is an amazing promise. You

63
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: can have the same mind, the same thinking patterns as

64
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: Jesus dead. He had all kinds of problems, but he

65
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: didn't have a worried mind. He had people betray him,

66
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: he didn't have a bitter mind. He stood before Lazarus,

67
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: a man that had been dead in four days, and

68
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: called him back to life. He didn't have a doubting mind.

69
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: He trusted that his father was in control. He believed

70
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: that he was called equipped and empowered. He had a

71
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: sound mind. He would have never fulfilled his destiny with

72
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: the wrong thoughts playing all day long. Pay attention to

73
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: what's playing in your mind. The enemy would love for

74
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: us to go through life with a doubting mind, a

75
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: fearful mind, a worried mind. Don't fall into that trap.

76
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: You control the doorway to your mind. You can't stop

77
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: negative thoughts from coming, but you can decide whether or

78
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: not you're going to dwell on them. God is not

79
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: going to do this for us. This is something we

80
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: all have to do. Take control of your thought life.

81
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: Be selective in what you're dwelling on. If the thought

82
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: is negative, discouraging, bringing fear, doubt, confusion, dismiss it, don't

83
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: give it the time of day. Replace that thought with

84
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: a positive thought. Replace with what God says about you.

85
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: You've seen your best days. It's all downhill from here.

86
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: No thanks, My latter days will be better than my

87
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: former days. God, I thank you that you're taking me

88
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: from glory to glory. Then my path gets brighter and brighter.

89
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: Or you're never going to accompass your dreams. You don't

90
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: have the funding, the connections, the experience. Father, Thank you

91
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: that you're opening doors that no person can shut. Thank

92
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: you that the right people are tracking me down. That

93
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: good breaks are headed my way. This is our choice,

94
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: a doubting mind or a faith filled mind. Thoughts will

95
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: whisper This sickness is permanent. Your health is going to

96
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: keep getting worse. You saw the medical report. If you

97
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: dwell on that, it's going to create fear, negativity, drain

98
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: your energy, take your joy. Why don't you dismiss those thoughts.

99
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: You're in control of what you think about. Turn it

100
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: around and dwell on what God says about you. Father,

101
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: you said that you're restoring health back into me. You

102
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: said the number of my days. You will fulfill that

103
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: with long life. You will satisfy me. That's how you

104
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: have a sound mind by being selective in what you

105
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: think about. The scripture says to take every thought captive

106
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: that goes against what God says. Get a picture of that.

107
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: A negative thought comes, fear, worry, doubt. You can't be passive, complacent.

108
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: You have to arrest that thought. It's an intruder. It

109
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: has no right to stay. You need to get your

110
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: handcuffs out, so to speak, lock it up and send

111
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: it away. Take it captive indicates force, aggressive, being on

112
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: the offensive. Could have said just don't think about it,

113
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: don't pay it any attention. But God was showing us

114
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: how important it is that we be proactive. That if

115
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: we're going to have a sound mind, and it's not

116
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: going to happen automatically, we're going to have to start

117
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: locking up some things. The apostle Paul said, give no

118
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: place to the enemy. Are there some intruders in your

119
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: mind that you're allowing to stay? Are you giving place

120
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: to negative, discouraging thoughts? Imagine that worry, that doubt, that fear,

121
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: sitting on your couch, feed up in the air, making

122
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: themselves at home. How would you feel if a burglar

123
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: came into your house and started eating your food and

124
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: sleeping in your bed, sitting on your back porch watching

125
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: your television. He wouldn't be there five seconds before you

126
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: would say, excuse me, you are not welcome here. This

127
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: is my house. You have to leave right now. If

128
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: he didn't leave on his own, you'd call your wife.

129
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you call nine one one. That's how you

130
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: need to see. These negative thoughts. They're intruders. They're trying

131
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: to keep you from your destiny. Worry, fear, doubt, that's

132
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: gonna limit your vision, cause you to give up on dreams,

133
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: live stressed out where you don't enjoy your life. It's

134
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: time to make some arrest, lock up some negative thoughts.

135
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: Get those intruders out of your mind. They're not gonna

136
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: go on their own. You have to force them out.

137
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: Refuse to dwell on them, Refuse to let the negative play.

138
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,679
Speaker 1: It's interesting when God says we don't have a spirit

139
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: of fear. That word fear in the original language is

140
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: only used one time in the scripture. All the other

141
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: times it says fear. That word is talking about not

142
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: dreading something bad that's coming. It's referring to what we think,

143
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: not anticipating the negative. But when God said you don't

144
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: have a spirit of fear, that word for fear implies

145
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: being passive, complacent, not putting forth effort that's required, and

146
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: a sound mind in several verse since is translated a

147
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: disciplined mind, it refers to self control and self discipline.

148
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: God is saying, if you're gonna have this sound mind

149
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: that I'm giving you, if you're gonna stay in peace,

150
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,239
Speaker 1: full of faith, expecting my favor, then you can't be passive,

151
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: complacent and just think whatever comes into your mind. You

152
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: have to be disciplined. You have to exercise self control.

153
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: God has already provided us a sound mind, a peaceful mind,

154
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: a believing mind. The question is are you going to

155
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: keep the intruders out and think about what He's promised?

156
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: Are you gonna lock up those destructive thoughts and not

157
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: give the enemy any place? Some people are allowing way

158
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: too much worry. Those worrisome thoughts have their own bedroom

159
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: in your mind, so to speak. They eat dinner with

160
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: you every night, they greet your first thing in the morning,

161
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: They ride to work with you, go on vacation with you.

162
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: Why don't you send them an eviction. Notice. I'm sorry,

163
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: but your time here is up. I've let you stay

164
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: way too long. Now you're going to have to leave.

165
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: No more waking up with worry. Try a different approach

166
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: and wake up with hope. Wake up with faith, wake

167
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: up with gratitude. You get up in the morning instead

168
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: of letting those worry thoughts play. Father, thank you for

169
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: another beautiful day. Think you that I'm alive. Thank you

170
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: for my family, thank you for good Hell Lord, I'm

171
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: excited about this day. Worry can't stay in a house

172
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: full of faith. Discouragement can't stay in a house full

173
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: of gratitude. Negativity can't stay in a house full of hope.

174
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: Maybe you've allowed doubt a place in your mind. It's

175
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: been there so long it's taking up residence. You don't

176
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: think that you can accomplish your dreams. The obstacles are

177
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: too big. You're not talented enough. That doubt is causing

178
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: you to settle for mediocrity and quit believing for what

179
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: God put in your heart. It's time to serve doubt

180
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: and eviction. Notice. Start locking up those thoughts. Your mind

181
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: is the enemy's playground. He's gonna feed you all kinds

182
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: of defeat lack and can't do it. You've made too

183
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: many mistakes. You've missed your chance. Quit giving him a place.

184
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: Take control of your thought life. Program it with what

185
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: God says. I am blessed, I am talented, I am forgiven,

186
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: I have a bright future. When you think like that,

187
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: you're evicting doubt, fear, worry. You're giving a room for faith,

188
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: for hope, for victory. Make sure you have the right

189
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: tenants living in your mind. I don't know, Joel. I

190
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: never get any good breaks. I'm not good in math.

191
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: I'll never pass this course. I can't pay my house off.

192
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm so worried about my children. And I know those

193
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: are valid concerns, and I'm not making lighted them. But

194
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: I also know that giving a place to fear, doubt

195
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: and worry doesn't do anything productive. It'll cause you to

196
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: get stuck and not see the great things God has

197
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: in store for you. Now. I know people that are

198
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: so disciplined when it comes to their career. They're productive, excellent,

199
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: and on time. I know people that are disciplined when

200
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: it comes to parenting. They're always there for their children,

201
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: making sure they have everything they need at their ballgames,

202
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: great supporters. I know people that are so disciplined when

203
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: it comes to their physical health. They eat right, exercise,

204
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: they are always at the gym. We can be so

205
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: disciplined in all these other areas, which is great, But

206
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: when it comes to our thought life, sometimes we're undisciplined.

207
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: We let any thought in. We end up living worried, insecure, troubled.

208
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: What if you had that same discipline in your thinking.

209
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: You're so responsible in your career, your parenting, your health.

210
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: Be responsible in your thought life. Quit giving space to

211
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: thoughts that are limiting you, causing you to live worried, afraid,

212
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: and intimidated. When my father passed and I stepped up

213
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: to pass to the church, I had never ministered before.

214
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: I'd spent those seventeen years behind the scenes, but deep

215
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: down I knew I was supposed to do it. But

216
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: all these thoughts flooded my mind. You're not qualified, you

217
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: don't have the training. Nobody's going to listen to you, Joe,

218
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: You're not like your father, you don't have that big personality.

219
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: The enemy is not going to let you move forward,

220
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: take new ground without opposition. His main battlefield is the mind.

221
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: He'll whisper lies hoping that you'll take the bait and

222
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: start dwelling on them. I had to make a decision.

223
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: Was I going to give those thoughts access to my mind?

224
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: Was I going to keep dwelling on them, let them

225
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: take up residence and limit my future? Or was I

226
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: going to lock them up? Was I going to see

227
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: them as an intruder and not give them the right

228
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: to stay? And I did what I'm asking us to do.

229
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: Instead of believing those lies, I said, no, thanks, You're

230
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: not welcome here. You say I'm weak, unqualified, not enough.

231
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: But I know who I am. I am strong in

232
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: the Lord. I can do all things through Christ. I'm equipped, empowered,

233
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: and anointed. I have royal blood flowing through my veins.

234
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: I've been crowned with fever. The Most High God is

235
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: breathing on my life. When you think like that, doubt

236
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: can't stay. Inferiority has to go, Fear has no place.

237
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: But had I allowed those lies, I wouldn't be up

238
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: here today. Don't miss your destiny because you're giving place

239
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: to the wrong things. Our mind is like a house.

240
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: It has all these different rooms in something is occupying

241
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: each room. Imagine there are four bedrooms. One has fear

242
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: living in it. It moved in during the pandemic. Another

243
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: has guilt living in it. It's been there since you

244
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: made that mistake. So down on yourself. Another room, there's inferiority.

245
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: It's been there since you were a child, when people

246
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: made you feel less than, told you how you weren't attractive.

247
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: You would never do anything significant. What would happen if

248
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: you would start evicting those wrong tenants? How much higher

249
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: will you go if you'll evict the doubt, those thoughts

250
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: telling you that you'll never get well, never break the addiction,

251
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: never see your family restored. Those are lies. You have

252
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: to lock them up. They're intruders, they have no right

253
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: to stay. How much more will you accomplish if you'll

254
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: evict the unworthiness thinking you don't deserve to be blessed,

255
00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: You've made too many mistakes. What could you become if

256
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: you'll evict the not qualified thoughts, not talented enough. I

257
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: don't have what it takes. Get those thoughts out of

258
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: your house. Your mind is valuable real estate. It's time

259
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: to send the eviction notice. I'm sorry, but you're done here.

260
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: I have some new tenants moving in immediately. It's faith

261
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: it's hope, it's victory. See here's the key. You will

262
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: go no further than you think you can go. You

263
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: will be no more valuable. You will live no more secure,

264
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: no more confident than how valuable you think you are.

265
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: The truth is you are made in the image of

266
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: Almighty God. He calls you a masterpiece, one of a kind,

267
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: a prize possession. But if you let the wrong intruders

268
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: in your mind, if you let infuriority, not good enough,

269
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: not attractive, if that occupies a room, you won't discover

270
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: who you really are. When we belad to lie for

271
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: a long time, the scripture calls it a stronghold. It's

272
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,239
Speaker 1: a thinking pattern that's keeping us from our destiny. You

273
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: have to pull down the stronghold. You have to evict

274
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: the intruder. And it's good to ask yourself, why do

275
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 1: I feel this, wife? Why do I feel like I'm inferior,

276
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: not up to par, not qualified. Maybe it's because the

277
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: enemy told you what he told me. But you let

278
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: the line take root. You gave the intruder permission to stay.

279
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: Now he has a room in your house. The good

280
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: news is you're the landlord. You get to decide who

281
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: stays inferiority or confidence, not good enough or a masterpiece,

282
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 1: unqualified or well evil. Maybe you need to ask yourself,

283
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: why am I so worried? Why am I so afraid

284
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: and on edge thinking something bad is about to happen.

285
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: That's a room you've let the enemy occupy in your mind.

286
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: With letting fear and worry in, it's not only taking

287
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: your peace, but you draw in what you constantly think about.

288
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: Faith works in the negative just as it does the positive.

289
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: That negative frame of mind is going to draw in defeat,

290
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: bad breaks, disappointments. Why don't you evict that tenant God

291
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 1: has you in the palm of his hand. Nothing can

292
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 1: snatch you away. A thousand may fall at your side,

293
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 1: ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not

294
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: come near you. You can say with David, the Lord

295
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: is my light in my salvation. I will not fear.

296
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: The Lord is the strength of my life. He's fighting

297
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,239
Speaker 1: your battles right now. His angels are surrounding you. He

298
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: holds victory in store for the upright. When you let

299
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: those thoughts occupy a room, you're going to be peaceful, calm, secure.

300
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: You're gonna enjoy your life. Take inventory of what's occupying

301
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 1: your house. Some of us have faith, hope, trust, that's good,

302
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: but we still have that one room of worry. Worry

303
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: doesn't want to leave. He's stubborn. We know God's on

304
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: the throne, but we're still a little on edge. What

305
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: if my business goes down? This medical report's not changing.

306
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: I thought i'd have the promotion by now. Can I

307
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: encourage you? God has never failed you in the past,

308
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 1: and he's not going to start now. All that worry

309
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: is doing is causing you to be uptight, not sleep well,

310
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: run your immune system down. It's time to serve worry

311
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: and eviction. Notice, let peace in, let faith in, and

312
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: every time worry comes back, use that as a reminder

313
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: to thank God that he's working on what you're concerned about.

314
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: You'll hear that knock on the door. Hey it's me again, worry?

315
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: What about that child? There's still of course, what are

316
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: you going to do? Father? Thank you that as for

317
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Thank

318
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: you that my children will fulfilled their purposes. When worry knocks,

319
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: enter back with faith. What if there's a recession, man,

320
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: what if you don't get that contract? What if your

321
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: company downsizes, how are you gonna make it? Sorry, fear,

322
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: you're not welcome here. Father, Thank you that you're Jehovah Jihrah,

323
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: the Lord, my provider. Thank you that you're supplying all

324
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: of my needs, that I will lend and not borrow.

325
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: See Philippians four says the peace of God, which passes understanding,

326
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: will guard your heart and mind. In Christ Jesus, peace

327
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: should be one of the rooms in our mind. When

328
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: you have peace, it's guarding you, it's keeping you from fear, worry,

329
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: and doubt. One time in the scripture, Peter was arrested

330
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: and put in prison for sharing his faith. King Agrippa

331
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: had already killed James, one of the apostles. When he

332
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: saw how that pleased the people, he had Peter arrested.

333
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: He was in the deepest part of the dungeon, hands

334
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 1: and feet in change. The next day he was going

335
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: to be brought to trial. Peter knew his life could

336
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: be over in twenty four hours. He saw what they

337
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: had done to James. Now he was next in line.

338
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: You would think he would be so worried, panic pacing

339
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: the floor, But Peter understood this principle. Fear came knocking

340
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: at the door. He said, no, thanks, I'm going to

341
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: stay in peace. I know God is still in control.

342
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: God won't let you get in a problem that he

343
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: can't bring you out of. The scripture says while Peter

344
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: was sleeping, an angel came and woke him up. How

345
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: could he be sleeping knowing the next day he could

346
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: lose his life. That's peace that passes understanding. That's what

347
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: happens when you take control of your thought life. You'll

348
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: have peace in the midst of the storm. When you

349
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: stay calm, when you could be worried, stressed out, can't sleep,

350
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: you're showing God that you trust him. That's when they'll

351
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: make things happen that you couldn't make happen. The angel

352
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: opened up the prison doors, chains fell off his feet.

353
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: Peter walked out a free man. But when you're in

354
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: a difficult situation, your health, your finances, or relationship, you

355
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: can be sure worry will come knocking at the door. Panic, fear.

356
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: What are you going to do? This is bad. There's

357
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: no way out if you let fear in, if you

358
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: give place to the enemy. He'll tell you all the

359
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: worst case scenarios that sickness is going to be fatal.

360
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: That contrast you lost is going to sink you. You'll

361
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: never recover from this breakup. In those challenging times, more

362
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: than ever, you have to be disciplined in what you

363
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: allow in. Don't let the negative play. Don't start envisioning

364
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: everything that could go wrong. Don't spend four hours googling

365
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: that sickness, finding all the bad reports. You don't need

366
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: that negativity in you keep the door closed. You need

367
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: your mind filled with faith, with hope. Father, Thank you

368
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: that you're fighting this battle. That you be infor me

369
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: is more than the world being against me. Thank you

370
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: that what you have purpose for my life will come

371
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: to pass. I talked to a young couple. They'd been

372
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: trying to have a baby for many years, but she

373
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: couldn't conceive. They had been to several doctors and everything

374
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: seemed fine. The doctors were puzzled as to why she

375
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: couldn't get pregnant. She was so discouraged, she said, Joel,

376
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: my mother had a terrible time conceiving. My grandmother had

377
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: the same problem, and from the time I was a

378
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: little girl, I was always afraid that I wouldn't be

379
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: able to have a child. Job said. The thing I

380
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: feared came upon me. When we give fear a room

381
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: in our mind, when we let those destructive thoughts become strongholds,

382
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: what we're fearing can become a reality. That thought I'll

383
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: never have a child was an intruder. That's the enemy

384
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: doing what he does the best, trying to plant lies, doubts, fears,

385
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: hoping that you'll give it a place in your mind.

386
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: Victory is one or lost in our thinking. You may

387
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: have negative things in your family line, but you have

388
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: to say, father, thank you that I'm the exception. Thank

389
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: you that this buriedness is not staying in my family,

390
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: this addiction, this lack, this depression. Father, thank you that

391
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm a difference maker, that I'm a burrier breaker, that

392
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: you're doing a new thing, that I will live whole free, victorious.

393
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: Clear out those negative rooms, get those intruders out of

394
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: your mind. Put some new tenants in faith, hope, and victory.

395
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: That's what I told this young woman. She had to

396
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: get rid of that strongholding, quit going around thinking that

397
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: she couldn't have a baby. Instead, she tried a different approach.

398
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: She started dwelling on what God said about her father.

399
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: You said the fruit of my womb is blessed. You

400
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: said you'd make me the happy mother of children. You

401
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: said that no good thing would you withhold, because I'll

402
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: walk up rightly. So Lord, thank you that our baby

403
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: is on the way. Just as fear can draw negative

404
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: things in, faith can draw positive things in. About a

405
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: year later, she walked into the lobby up there, holding

406
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: this beautiful baby girl in her arms, beaming from ear

407
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: to ear. Are there some intruders occupying your mind? Are

408
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: there tenants you need to evict? Don't let a stronghold,

409
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: a lie that's taken root keep you from your destiny.

410
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: Pay attention to what you're giving room to. When negative

411
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: thoughts come, don't be passive, be disciplined in what you

412
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: think about. Start locking up those thoughts. You have a

413
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: destiny to fulfill. There's a calling on your life, God

414
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: has that's an assignment for you to accomplish. The enemy

415
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: wouldn't be fighting you if he didn't know there is

416
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: greatness in you. He's gonna do his best to get

417
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: you worried, doubting, fearful, discourage. That may be the way

418
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: it's been, but this is a new day. Some rooms

419
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: are being cleaned out right now. In our mind. Strongholds

420
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: are coming down. Wrong tenants are being evicted. I believe

421
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: and declare you have a sound mind, like Peter. You're

422
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: gonna sleep through the storms like this young woman. Things

423
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: that have hindered your family line are being broken. You're

424
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: about to see promises come to pass, healing favor, breakthroughs,

425
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: the fullness of your destiny in Jesus's name, And if

426
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 1: you receive it, can you say amen? I'd like to

427
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 1: give you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of

428
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus,

429
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: I repent of my sins, Come into my heart. I

430
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: make you my Lord and savior. If you've prayed that

431
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. We'd love

432
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: to send you some free information on your new walk

433
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: with the Lord. You can text the number on the

434
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: screen or go to the website. But I hope you'll

435
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: get into a good Bible based church and keep God

436
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: first place. It's January. Time to renew my faith. It's January.

437
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: It's time to start a new season. It's January.

438
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: There is no better time than now to set the

439
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 2: course of our year ahead.

440
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: The beginning of the year is a great time to

441
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: start afresh and a new to let go of negative

442
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: things of the past and to get ready for the

443
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: new things God has in store. Every January we create

444
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: a new devotional calendar that will help you throughout the year.

445
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: When you start the day off in faith, grateful for

446
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: what God's done, making positive declarations over your future, you're

447
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: setting the tone for a blessed day and a victorious year.

448
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: This devotional will help you get your mind going in

449
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: the right direction so you can go out each day

450
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: in faith knowing that God is in control that His

451
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: plans for you are for good. I'd love to send you.

452
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 2: A copy as our way of saying thank you for

453

Speaker 2: We would like to send you a copy of our

455
