I believe God has amazing things in your future. 23 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 3: I hope you enjoy this message. I want to remind 24 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 3: every one of us today that we are not victims 25 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 3: to our circumstances, but we are victors. 26 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:25,559 Speaker 4: See. 27 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 3: God called us more than conquerors. We're not a slave 28 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 3: to circumstances. We're not captivated by our own thoughts, but 29 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 3: we can think the thoughts of Heaven. We can literally 30 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 3: think the thoughts of our champion, Jesus Christ. 31 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 4: He says that we. 32 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 3: Are more than conquerors through Christ, Jesus. You know what 33 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 3: when I think of a conquer you know what I 34 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 3: think of I just picture this this ring with two 35 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 3: boxers in there, and I think about these boxers and 36 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 3: how they have those big old boxing gloves on and 37 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 3: they smack each other in the face. 38 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 4: And you know what, they don't fall down. They keep 39 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 4: on at it. They keep at it. 40 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 3: They keep at it because they're champions. They don't go 41 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 3: into that ring thinking they're anything less but a champion. Now, 42 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 3: if they get knocked down, have you ever watched them, 43 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 3: they bounce back up. See, champions have bounced back in them. 44 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 3: And God has called you a champion in Jesus Christ. 45 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 3: God has said you have bounced back but how do 46 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 3: we keep this mental bounce back? How do we keep 47 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 3: this emotional bank account full? You see, just like you 48 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 3: keep money in your bank, you wouldn't think about writing 49 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: a check not having any money in your bank. So 50 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 3: you work to keep money in your bank. You check 51 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 3: your bank account. You make sure it's going to cover 52 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 3: your life, cover your bills, cover your children. Well, we 53 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 3: have to do the exact same thing with our emotional 54 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 3: bank account. 55 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 4: We have to make sure we're covered, We have to 56 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 4: make sure we're wrong. 57 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 3: See. I think about those boxers, and you know what 58 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 3: they have. They have mental toughness. They have mental toughness. 59 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 3: They don't go in that ring as soon as they 60 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 3: get hit they think, oh that's it, I'm out, I'm done. No, 61 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 3: they have prepared their minds. They have got themselves in 62 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 3: a place where they know they are champions. And I 63 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 3: believe too often we're allowing ourself to sink below who 64 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 3: we really are, to not meet that standard of a champion. Now, listen, 65 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 3: God gave his life for us through Jesus Christ, he 66 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 3: gave his son, So we have to attach ourself to 67 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 3: that champion mentality. The Bible says we are to have 68 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 3: the mind of Christ Jesus. So we're supposed to attach 69 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 3: our mind to the mind of Christ. 70 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 4: What is God saying about you today? 71 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 3: You need to take inventory about what are you thinking 72 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 3: about yourself? Are you thinking champion thoughts? Are you thinking 73 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 3: weak and defeated thoughts? You know, just like when you 74 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 3: have your car full of gas, it runs beautifully, but 75 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 3: when you start to get low and it starts to 76 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 3: run out of gas, it starts spittering and spattering, and 77 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 3: you think what is going on? 78 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 4: You check the gas tank and you think I've run 79 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 4: out of gas. 80 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 3: See, we too have indicators of when our emotional bank 81 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 3: accounts are low, and that is we get frustrated, We 82 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 3: get upset. Everything seems hard, seems like it's never gonna change, 83 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 3: it's always impossible. We don't enjoy the gifts that God 84 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 3: has given us because we're overwhelmed. That is how you 85 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 3: can check your emotional bank account right there. Are you 86 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 3: enjoying the life that God gave you? Are you acting 87 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 3: like a champion? Are you overcoming the punches of life? 88 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 3: Because the truth of the matter is life is a 89 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 3: lot like that box. Are in a ring, You're gonna 90 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 3: get knocked out every now and then you're gonna get 91 00:04:58,880 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 3: hit every now and then. 92 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 4: Somebody's going to offend you every now and then. But 93 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 4: you have bounce back. You have what it takes mental toughness, 94 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 4: and I want to encourage every one of us to 95 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 4: take the time to fill your mental bank account. You know, 96 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 4: I love my kids so much. My husband and my 97 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 4: children are the greatest gift that God's ever given me. 98 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 3: They're my life. I love them so much. I'll do 99 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 3: anything for them. I try to do everything for them. 100 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 3: I bug them, I get around them, I want to 101 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: be around them. 102 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 4: My children say, you love me too much. Mom. I 103 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 4: love my husband. 104 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 3: I'd rather spend time with him bike riding or just 105 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 3: hanging out than anybody else. But if my emotional tank 106 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 3: is not filled, I cannot fill my family's tank. I 107 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 3: can't enjoy the gift that God's given me, the greatest 108 00:05:53,480 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 3: gift of all. The Bible says it like this, love 109 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 3: your neighbor as you love yourself. 110 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,799 Speaker 4: Can I ask you a question today? 111 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 3: How are you loving yourself? How are you taking care 112 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 3: of yourself? How are you building yourself up? You're a 113 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 3: three part b You're a body, you're a soul, and 114 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 3: you're a spirit, and it's very important that those pieces 115 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 3: go together. God has given you a regenerated spirit to 116 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 3: connect to his word, but he wants your mind to 117 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 3: be full of His word, anchoring you. You're not supposed 118 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 3: to be tossed to and fro. You're not supposed to 119 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 3: be blown like the seas of the shore. One day up, 120 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 3: one day down. One day you're happy, one day you're not. 121 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 4: You're not supposed to be like that. God's given you strength, 122 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 4: He's called you a conqueror. 123 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 3: Listen, if we're going to enjoy this life that Jesus 124 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 3: came to give us, the abundant life, we're gonna have 125 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 3: to fill our emotional buckets, our emotional tanks. You know, 126 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 3: one of the most spiritual things you can do is 127 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 3: to feel your emotional tank. Now, not everybody feels their 128 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 3: emotional tank the same way, but it's a very spiritual 129 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,239 Speaker 3: thing to do. Because when you're facing the challenges of life, 130 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 3: if you're going to come through unscathed, if you're going 131 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 3: to come through looking like a conqueror, you're gonna have 132 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 3: to get some mental toughness. You're going to have to 133 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 3: decide that God is for you and he's not against you, 134 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 3: that you are well able to do what He's called 135 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 3: you to do. See, there's nothing worse than being in bondage. 136 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 3: Can you imagine being tied up in bondage? See, that's 137 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 3: what it was like before Jesus. No, you know, there 138 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 3: was not a grace, a spiritual freedom like there is today. 139 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 3: God loves you and he wants you to walk in 140 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: everything that He came to give you. Sometimes it's as 141 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 3: simple as this, to feel your to feel your spiritual account. 142 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 3: It's to remind yourself that you're God's masterpiece, that you're 143 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 3: in his image, with his character, with his likeness, with 144 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 3: his strength, that you're unique, that he specifically designed you. 145 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 3: You're not an accident. You didn't just show up on 146 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 3: planet Earth. But God has the specifications on you. You're lacking nothing. 147 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 3: You have everything to accomplish what He's called you to accomplish. 148 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: You need to dwell on that, get that into your 149 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 3: heart and mind, and don't compare yourself with other people 150 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 3: because the truth of the matter is they don't have 151 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 3: what you have. Because you're special, You're unique, You're one. 152 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 4: Of a kind. 153 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: You know. 154 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 3: I believe if you really want to have some mental strength, 155 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 3: you have to be your biggest cheerleader. You have to 156 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 3: be your biggest cheerleader. You can't wait for people to 157 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 3: validate you. You have to believe in yourself. Don't wait 158 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 3: around for someone to send you flowers. Send yourself some flowers. 159 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 3: We should get up every morning and we should make 160 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 3: declarations of faith. Now, if you've come to this church 161 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 3: very long, or you've been in this ministry very long, 162 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 3: watching online or on the radio or wherever, you know 163 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 3: that every single Sunday, Joel gets up here and he 164 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 3: declares over us who we are in Christ Jesus.
