But thanks 11 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: so much for tuning in, and thank you again for 12 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: coming out. I like to start with something funny, and 13 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: I heard about this elderly couple. They were sitting in 14 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: a swing celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary. Feeling romantic, the 15 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: husband said to his wife, Oh dear, our love is 16 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: tried and true. His wife had difficulty hearing it and 17 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: ask him to repeat it. He said it louder, I 18 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: said our love is tried and true. She still couldn't 19 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: hear him, said what would you? Please speak up? Frustrated, 20 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: he shouted, I said, our love is tried and true. 21 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: She said, well, I'm sick of you too. Hold up 22 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: your Bible? Why is that funny to me. Hold up 23 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: your Bible, say it like you mean it. 24 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says. I am. 25 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do 26 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be 27 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 28 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 29 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 30 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: to talk to you today about reprogramming your mind. Our 31 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: mind is like a computer. How we program it is 32 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: the way it's going to function. You can have the 33 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: most powerful computer made, the latest, fastest, holds the most memory, 34 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: but if you put the wrong software in it, it's 35 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: not going to function like it was designed. And we've 36 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: all had to deal with these computer viruses. They can 37 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: get into a perfectly good computer and start to contaminate 38 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: the software. Before long, the computer is slowed, you can't 39 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: access your files. 40 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: All these problems occur. 41 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: Not because it's defective, it's poorly made. 42 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: No, the hardware is fine. 43 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: It's because somebody reprogrammed the software. Somehow, the insides got 44 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: messed up. Now the software is contaminated in the same way. 45 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: When God created you, he stepped back and said, another masterpiece. 46 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,119 Speaker 2: Your hardware is perfect. 47 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: You're the right size, the right nationality, you have the 48 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: right gifts. Not only that, God put the right software 49 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: in you from the very beginning. He programmed you to 50 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: be victorious, healthy, strong, creative. Your original software says you 51 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: can do all. 52 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 2: Things through Christ. 53 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: He programmed whatever you touch will prosper and succeed. He 54 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: programmed the head and not the tail, lend and not borrow, 55 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: victor and not victim. You were programmed to live in abundant, victorious, 56 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: faith filled life. 57 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: That's how your creator designs you. 58 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: But the reason we don't always experience this abundant life 59 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: is we've allowed viruses to contaminate our software. We think 60 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: I'll never be successful. I'm not that talented. I'll never 61 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: break this addiction. I've had it too long. I'm slow, clumsy, unattractive. 62 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: Nothing good is in my future because our software is infected. 63 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: We go around low self esteem, negative, not believing for 64 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: dreams to come to pass, not expecting problems to turn around. 65 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: Here's the good news. There is nothing wrong with you 66 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: like that computer. You're not a mistake, you're not faulty. 67 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: The problem is your software You've got to get rid. 68 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 2: Of the viruses. 69 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: All through the day, dwell on what your creator says 70 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: about you. I'm blessed, I'm strong, I'm healthy, I'm confident, 71 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: I'm attractive, I'm valuable, i am victorious. You've got to 72 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: get back to your original software. If your thinking is limited, 73 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: your life will be limited. One of the best things 74 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 1: we can learn to do is hit. 75 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: The delete button. 76 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: When negative, discouraging thoughts come trying to contaminate your software, 77 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: Just hit delete. That thought says you've seen your best days. 78 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: It's all downhill from here. Recognize that's a virus trying 79 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: to keep you from your destiny. 80 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 2: It's real simple. Delete. Not dwelling on that. 81 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: My software says, the path of the righteous gets brighter 82 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: and brighter. 83 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,239 Speaker 2: Well, you'll never get well. You saw the medical report. Delete. 84 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: God is restoring health back into me. The number of 85 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,239 Speaker 1: my days he will fulfill. I will live and not die. 86 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: You may hear you'll never accomplish your dreams. You're not 87 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: that talent. You don't have what it takes. Delete, Delete, Delete. 88 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I have the favor 89 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: of God. Whatever I touch prospers and succeeds. Perhaps you'll 90 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: hear you'll never break that addiction. Your father was an alcoholic, and. 91 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 2: You'll be one too. Delete. 92 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: No weapon formed against me will prosper. Whom the sun 93 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: sets free is free, indeed, and I am free. 94 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 2: If you're going to reach. 95 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: Your highest potential, you've got to get good at hitting 96 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 1: the delete button. When I stepped up to pasture the church, 97 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: every thought told me, you can't do this, Joel. You 98 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: don't know how to minister. You're too young, you don't 99 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: have the experience. Nobody's going to come. Would have been 100 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: easy to let that virus take root and keep me 101 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: from my destiny. I did what I'm asking you to do. 102 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: I kept hitting the delete button. You can't do it. Delete, 103 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: you're too young. Delete, nobody's going to come. Delete you 104 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: don't have the experience. Elite, it's not going to work 105 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: out the leite. I wouldn't be standing here if I 106 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: wasn't an expert. 107 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 2: At hitting the delete button. 108 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: One Sunday, right after I first got started, I overheard 109 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: two ladies talking in the lobby after the service about me. 110 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 2: One said he's not as good as his father. 111 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: The other answered, yeah, I don't think he's going to 112 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: make it. The enemy will use people to try to 113 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: contaminate your software. 114 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:31,799 Speaker 2: I was already. 115 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: Insecure, intimidated, didn't think I could do it. When I 116 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: heard that. My first thought was to panic. My worst 117 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 1: fears had come true. But then something rolls up on 118 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: the inside. God gives you grace for every season. He 119 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: arms you with strength for every battle. I thought to myself, 120 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: those two ladies, they don't determine my destiny. They didn't 121 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: call me, they didn't equip me, they didn't anoint me. 122 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,119 Speaker 1: And more than anything else, they can't stop me. They 123 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: don't have the final say. God has the final say. 124 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: He said, I'm well able, I can do all things 125 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: through Christ. 126 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 2: I am strong in the Lord. 127 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: Every time I heard their voice delete no, thanks, not 128 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: dwelling on that, it came back again and again and again. 129 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: I just kept hitting the delete button. The scripture tells 130 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: us to guard our mind. You control the doorway to 131 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: what you allow in. You can dwell on every negative thought, 132 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: every derogatory comment, or you can choose to delete it 133 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: and dwell on what God says about you. If I 134 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: would have let what those two ladies said play over 135 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: and over, they would have contaminated my confidence, contamidated my 136 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: self esteem, contaminated my future. Some of you would go 137 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: to a new level if you would just start hitting 138 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: the delete button. Quit dwelling on every negative thought that 139 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: comes to your mind. That's the enemy trying to contaminate 140 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: your software. If he can control your thinking, he can 141 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: control your whole life. If that thought is negative, discouraging, 142 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: pushing you down, don't dwell on it. 143 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 2: Deleted. 144 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: Pay attention to what you're thinking. If you go around 145 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: thinking that you're not talented, then you'll never have the 146 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: confidence to step into your destiny. If you think you're unattractive, 147 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: you'll never meet the people you were supposed to meet. 148 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: If you think you can't break the addiction, then you can't. 149 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: If you think you've reached your limits, than you have. 150 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: It's not because you can't go further. You've just convinced 151 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: yourself that you can. The good news is it's not 152 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: too late. You can still become everything God created you 153 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: to be. 154 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 2: Here's the key. You've got to clear. 155 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: Out all the negative things people have said about you. 156 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: You are not who people say you are. You are 157 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: who God says you are. Clear out what the coach 158 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: the teacher said about you. You're too small, you don't 159 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: have what it takes. 160 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 2: Deleted. Quit dwelling on that. You're the right size. 161 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: You have exactly what you need for the race that's 162 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: been designed for you. Clear out what the counselor said. 163 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: You're just a C student, You're not college material. Deleted. 164 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: You're an a student. You have seeds of greatness. Clear 165 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: out what the ex boyfriend, the ex spouse said. You're 166 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: not attractive, You're not good enough for me. 167 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 2: Deleted. 168 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: You're a masterpiece, one of a kind, beautiful, attractive, a 169 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: prize possession. You may have to clear out what a 170 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: parent said, that person that raised you. You're so undisciplined, 171 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: you're never going dime out to much. 172 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 2: You can't do anything right. Delete it. 173 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: You are destined to do great things. You're destined to 174 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,359 Speaker 1: leave your mark on this generation. I read a report 175 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: about children that had been bullied in school. It talked 176 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: about how years later those negative words were still having 177 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: an effect on many of them. 178 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 2: They interviewed this one man. 179 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: He was in his forties, and he looked to be 180 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: a bright, intelligent man, but he had not been able 181 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: to hold down a good job, struggled in his relationships 182 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: couldn't seem to get on course. He told how as 183 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: a child he was overweight, he was chubby. Some of 184 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: the other children made fun of him and called him names, 185 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: things like loser, failure. He made the mistake of letting 186 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: those words take root. Now they were keeping him in mediocrity. 187 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: When somebody calls you something either good or bad. That 188 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: seed is planted in your soil. Now you get to 189 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: determine whether or not that seed. 190 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: Takes root and grows. When you dwell on what was said. 191 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: You were watering the seed, you're giving it a right 192 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: to become a reality. 193 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 2: That's why it's so important that we're disc in our 194 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 2: thought life. 195 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: It's great when people tell you you're blessed, you're talented, you're 196 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: going to do great things. Water those seeds, meditate on 197 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: those throughout the day. That's what you want to become 198 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: a reality. But too often the mistake we make is 199 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: we water the wrong seeds. Those two ladies that said 200 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: I wasn't as good as my father, if I would 201 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: have watered that seed, I would have never gotten off 202 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: the ground. And the truth is it wouldn't have been 203 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: their fault. They can't make a seed take root in me. 204 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: All they can do is sow the seed. You have 205 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: complete control over what seeds are going to take root 206 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: and grow in your own soil. 207 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 2: Now, a lot of times we blame others. 208 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: Well, they were talking about me, They tried to make 209 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: me look bad, they were criticizing me. No, let them 210 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: talk all they want. You control your own soil. Don't 211 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: dwell on the negative. Don't replay what they said over 212 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: and over. 213 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 2: Guard your mind. 214 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: Those are virus is trying to infiltrate your software. 215 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 2: Joshua will put it this way, If. 216 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 1: You will meditate on what God says about you day 217 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: and night, then you will have good success and prosper. 218 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: In everything you do. When your mind is filled with 219 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 2: thoughts of. 220 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: Faith, thoughts of victory, that's what's going to become a reality. 221 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: That man in his forties that was still shruggling, You 222 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: know why, he let those derogatory comments play over and 223 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: over every time he thought about it. He was watering 224 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: that seed year after year, and sad to say, but 225 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: it became a reality. How different would his life be 226 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: if he had just learned to hit the delete button? 227 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: Said a constantly play in the negative. What if he'd 228 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: have gone around thinking I'm a masterpiece, I'm one of 229 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: a kind, I'm talented, I've got seeds of greatness. 230 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 2: It would be a whole different story. 231 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: Somebody may have spoken negative words over you. Deleted People 232 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: don't determine your destiny. God determines your destiny. That's why 233 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: we start off every message by saying, I am who 234 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: God says I am. We're saying, in effect, I am 235 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: not who my history teacher says I am. I am 236 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: not who my expouse says I am. I am not 237 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: who the critics say I am. I am who God 238 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: says I am. I like to take it a step further. 239 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: Not only I am who God says I am, but 240 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 1: I can do what God says I can do. 241 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 2: That means we know we've been programmed for victory. 242 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: We've been programmed to reign in life. We've been programmed 243 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: to overcome obstacles. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, 244 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: but the Lord delivers us out of them all. We 245 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: will accomplish our dreams, we will meet the right people, 246 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: we will step into the fullness of our destinies. When 247 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: you think like that, all the forces of darkness cannot 248 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: stop you. Friends, the real battle is taking place in 249 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: your mind. If you're defeated in your thoughts, you've already lost. 250 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: You've got to get rid of the viruses. If you 251 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: will get back to your original software put in you 252 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: by your creator, you'll go places that you've never dreamed. 253 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: It's interesting how little children start off so excited about life. 254 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 2: They've got big dreams. 255 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: They're going to become a scientist, an astronaut, a singer, 256 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: a teacher, a ballplayer, even the president. They're not intimidated, 257 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: they're not insecure. They believe they can do anything. It's 258 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: because they just came from their creator. Their thinking has 259 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: not been contaminated. They can still feel the seeds of greatness. 260 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: But too often, over time they start to get reprogrammed. 261 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 2: Somebody tells them what they can't become, what they can't do. 262 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: Little by little, their environment starts to squeeze them down. 263 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: A coach, a teacher says, hey, you're not good enough, 264 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: you're too small. 265 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 2: Their self esteem goes down. 266 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: They see somebody more attractive, and they start to feel inferior. 267 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 2: All these things. 268 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: Begin to distort who they really are. Before long, instead 269 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: of dreaming big and believing possibility thoughts, they think I'll 270 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: never do anything great. 271 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 2: I'm not that talented. I'm just average. 272 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: When we find ourselves stuck in these ruts, not believing 273 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: we can rise any higher, we need to ask why 274 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: do I think this way? Who programmed me to think 275 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: that I'm average? Who programmed me to give up on 276 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: my dreams? Who programmed me to think I can't lose 277 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: this weight, I can't break this addiction. I've gone as 278 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: far as I can. Where did those thoughts come from? 279 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: Could it be that you have accepted a wrong mindset 280 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: because of the environment. 281 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 2: You were raised in, the people that you were around. 282 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: Just because it seems normal to you doesn't mean that 283 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: it's necessarily normal. Sometimes we learn to function in our dysfunction. 284 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: Maybe everybody you grew up with was negative. Well you're 285 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: not supposed to be negative. That's not normal. Maybe your 286 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: friends didn't have big dreams, they didn't do anything great 287 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: in life. 288 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 2: Well that's not okay for you. That's not normal. 289 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: Just because family members had addictions bad habits, don't make 290 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: the mistake of thinking that's okay for you to live 291 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: that way. Those are viruses that have been passed down 292 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: that keep infiltrating our thinking. 293 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 2: Listen. 294 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: God created you to go further, to be confident, to 295 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: be free, to be healthy, positive, happy. You have greatness 296 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: on the inside. Now it starts by reprogramming your thinking. 297 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: I saw a story about this dog, a German shepherd. 298 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: She was pregnant with puppies. One day, she was walking 299 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: across the street and got hit by a car. Both 300 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: of her back legs were broken. She was able to 301 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: drag herself off the street and. 302 00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 2: Back to her house. 303 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: The weeks went by, she began to slowly recover. Her 304 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: legs finally healed, but because they weren't properly reset, when 305 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: she walked, all she could do was drag her back legs. 306 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: She couldn't walk properly, her joints had been messed up. 307 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: Eventually she had her puppies. They seemed to be healthy 308 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 1: and whole, but a few weeks later, when they started 309 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: walking just like their mother, they dragged their back legs. 310 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: The owner was amazed. He thought maybe they had been 311 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: injured in the. 312 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 2: Accident as well. 313 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: Took them to the veterinarian to have them checked out. 314 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: The doctor discovered there was nothing wrong with their back legs. 315 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 2: They were perfectly healthy. 316 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: Those puppies were simply copying their mother. That's all they 317 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: had seen modeled in their mind. That's the way they 318 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: were supposed to walk. That's what's happened to many of 319 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 1: us what we saw modeled growing up. 320 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 2: The people that raised us. 321 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: They were good people, they were doing their best, but 322 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: in some way, they were dragging their back legs. 323 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 2: They were negative discouraged. Now we live negative discouraged. They 324 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 2: had addictions, low self esteem. Now we struggle in those 325 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 2: same areas. 326 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: Or maybe they made poor choices in relationships. 327 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 2: God involved with the wrong people. 328 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: Now we're dealing with the same issues we saw them, 329 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: except mediocrity. Now mediocrity has become normal to us. 330 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 2: The good news. 331 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 1: Just like those puppies, there is nothing wrong with your 332 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: back legs. Those are simply wrong mindsets that you've developed. 333 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: As you get your thinking straightened out, your legs will 334 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: straighten out. God didn't make you faulty. He didn't create 335 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: you subpar. He created you in his image. You are 336 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: his masterpiece, crowned with favor, equipped with palate gifts. 337 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 2: You are destined to a great. 338 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: Life, healthy, abundant, happy, faith filled. Now, don't go around 339 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 1: dragging your back legs. You are not supposed to go 340 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: through life inferior, low self esteem, addicted, little goals, little dreams. 341 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 2: That's not who you are. 342 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: Start reprogramming your mind as the head and not the tail. 343 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: Program it with excellence, not mediocrity. Program it with abundance, 344 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: not lack and poverty. Program it with freedom, not addictions. 345 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: This is what my father did. He grew up in 346 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: a very poor environment. His parents lost everything during the 347 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: Great Depression. He had no money, no education, no future 348 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: to speak of. He had been programmed with poverty, defeat, mediocrity. 349 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 1: He could have settled there, that's all he had seen. Thought, Hey, 350 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: this is. 351 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 2: Just my lot and life. 352 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: We're just poor, defeated people. But it's seventeen years old. 353 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 1: When he gave his life to Christ, he started reprogramming 354 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: his thinking. Deep down, something said, you were made for 355 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: more than this. You're not supposed to constantly struggle to 356 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: barely make it through life. He could feel those seeds 357 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: of greatness stirring on the inside. 358 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 2: His attitude was this may. 359 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: Be where I am, but this is not who I am. 360 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: I may be in defeat, but I am not defeated. 361 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 2: I'm a child of. 362 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: The most High God. Day after day he kept hitting 363 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 1: the delete button. Thought told him you have no future. 364 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 2: Delete. God's plans for me are for good, to give 365 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 2: me a future and a hope. 366 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: You have no money. Delete, I'm blessed. Whatever I touch prospers. 367 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: You have no education. You'll never get out of here. 368 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: It's impossible. Delete, delete, delete. God is making a way 369 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: where I don't see away. He's opening doors that no 370 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: men can shut. He's bringing the right people across my path. 371 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: I will step into the fullness of my destiny. He 372 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: reprogrammed his thinking with thoughts of faith, thought hope, thoughts 373 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: of victory. That's how he rows up out of that poverty. 374 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: Set a new standard for our family. You may have 375 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: been raised in a limited environment. 376 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 2: All you saw modeled. 377 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: Was strife, addictions, conflict, low self esteem, mediocrity. Don't let 378 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: that set the limits for your life. Don't go around 379 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: dragging your back legs. God wants you to go further now. 380 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: It starts by getting rid of the viruses. Hit the 381 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: delete button. The thought tells you you've gone as far 382 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: as you can. 383 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 2: Delete. 384 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: You'll never get well. Delete, You'll always be addicted. Delete 385 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: This is as good as it gets. 386 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 2: Delete. 387 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: If you'll get good at hitting the delete button. You 388 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: will break out of bondages and you will step into freedom. 389 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: You will break out of lack and poverty and step 390 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: into abundance. You will break out of mediocrity and. 391 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 2: Step up to excellence. This is an new day. 392 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: Strongholds are coming down, wrong, mindsets are being broken. Viruses 393 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: are being cleared out. Get ready for God to do 394 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: something new. Get ready to see his goodness in amazing ways. Well, Joel, 395 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: this sounds encouraging, but I don't know. All the experts 396 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: say I'll never get well. The experts say I'll never 397 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 1: get out of death. The experts tell me I've gone 398 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: as far as my education allows. This is as good 399 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: as it gets. I say this respectfully, But the experts 400 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 1: can be wrong. The experts told us we would never 401 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: have this building, but here we are today. The experts 402 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: told my mother that she had a few weeks to live, 403 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: but thirty three years later, she's still alive and healthy. 404 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: Me the experts told us Lakewood would never make it 405 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: without my father. 406 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 2: But we're doing pretty good. I read about a bumblebee. 407 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: According to all all the laws of aerodynamics, a bumblebee 408 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: should not be able to fly. Its wingspan is too 409 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: small for the size of its body. 410 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 2: It can't get enough left. But here's the key. 411 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: Nobody told the bumblebee. It didn't get the memo. No 412 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: experts were able to talk it out of it. The 413 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: bumblebee felt its wings on its side, and something in 414 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: its DNA said, I'm supposed to fly. I'm not made 415 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: to just crawl around on the ground. It didn't go 416 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 1: check with the experts. It didn't read the latest engineering report. 417 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: It just did what was natural and started flapping its 418 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: wings took off up into the air. If that bumblebee 419 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: would have been able to read the negative reports, would 420 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: have been able to listen to the naysayers, it would 421 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: have never gotten off the ground. It starts in our thinking. 422 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: If you don't think you can be successful, you want. 423 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: If you don't think you're talented, then you're not. If 424 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: you don't think you'll meet the right people, you never will, 425 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: not because you're not able to, but because of your software, 426 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: your thinking is limiting you. When Carl Lewis was training 427 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: for the Olympic Games, the experts said no person. 428 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 2: Can jump over thirty feet. 429 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: The scientists had run all their calculations, done all their research. 430 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: According to their data, no one would ever be able 431 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 1: to jump that far. A reporter asked Carl Lewis what 432 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: he thought about it. He said, yes, I know the 433 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: experts say it can't be done, but I don't listen 434 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: to that kind of talk. I know thoughts like that 435 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: have a way of slipping down to my feet. He 436 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: went on later that same year to jump over thirty 437 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: feet and break the world record. Are you allowing negative 438 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: thoughts to drop down to your feet stifle your potential? 439 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: Why don't you do like he did, start hitting the 440 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: delete button. The experts may have told you how impossible 441 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: it is, how it's not going to work out, how 442 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: you're not going to get well. And again, I mean 443 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: it respectfully, because the experts are doing the best they 444 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: can with the. 445 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 2: Knowledge that they have. What I'm saying is God has 446 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 2: the final say. 447 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: He wouldn't have put the dream in your heart. He 448 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: wouldn't have given you that promise if he didn't have 449 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: a way. 450 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 2: To bring it to pass. 451 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: Delete what the naysayers have told you, Delete the discouraging words, 452 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: delete the negative reports. 453 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 2: You got to get back to your original software. 454 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: Some of you, this is the only thing that's holding 455 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: you back. Who told you that you can't be successful. 456 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: Who told you you can only make season schools? Who 457 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: told you you're not tall enough, not smart enough, that 458 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: you've reached your limits. I can assure you that did 459 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: not come from your creator. Those are viruses that are 460 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: trying to contaminate your software. Don't let what anyone told 461 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: you or what anyone showed you to limit your life. 462 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: There is nothing wrong with your back legs. Start reprogramming 463 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: your mind all through the day. Dwell on what your 464 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: creator says about you. I'm blessed, I'm healthy, I'm talented, 465 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: I'm valuable. 466 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 2: My best days are still out in front of me. 467 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: If you will do this, I believe and declare every 468 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 1: virus is being cleared out. Even right now, strongholds are 469 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: coming down. Wrong mindsets that have held you back for 470 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: years will no longer have any effect on you. Like 471 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: Joshua will promise you will have good success and prosper in. 472 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 2: Everything you do. 473 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: I declare it in Jesus' name. If you receive it, 474 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: Can you say man today? We never like to close 475 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: our broadcast without giving you an opportunity to make Jesus 476 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: the lord of your life. 477 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 2: Would you pray with me? Just say Lord Jesus, I 478 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 2: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make 479 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 2: you my Lord and Savior. 480 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 481 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: born again. Get in a good Bible based church, Keep 482 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: God first place. 483 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 2: He's going to take your places that you've never dreamed. 484 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says, I am. 485 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 2: I have what it says I have, I can do. 486 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: This is the first Bible that my parents gave me 487 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: I was six years old. They taught me the importance 488 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 1: of believing what God says about you and letting that 489 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: determine your self image. How through the Scripture you can 490 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 1: learn to handle challenges and pursue your dreams. 491 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 2: Some people tell me. 492 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,199 Speaker 1: That the Bible's not practical for them, and how they 493 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: don't understand it. We've created a new resource called how 494 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: to Read Your Bible and Enjoy It. It provides twelve 495 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: distinct lenses that will help you see the Bible with 496 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: fresh eyes so you can discover the hidden treasures that 497 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: increase your faith and practical truths. 498 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 2: That will help you in your everyday life. 499 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: When you tap into the power of God's word, there's 500 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 1: no limit to where He'll take you. 501 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 3: Of saying thank you for your gift of any size 502 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 3: to the ministry. This month, Joel would like to send 503 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 3: you this inspiring new resource.
