1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks again for being with us today. Always my

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: honor to be able to share God's word with you

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: and hopefully inspire you and encourage you. If you're enjoying

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: the podcast, I hope you'll share it with the friend

5
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: pass it along. Let's inspire some other people as well.

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: But know that we love you. It could be a

7
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: blessed day for you. Oh God bless you. It's a

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: joy to come into your homes. And if you're ever

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: in our area, please stop by and be a part

10
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: of one of our services. I promise you we'll make

11
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: you feel right at home. I like to start with

12
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: something funny, and I heard about these two evil brothers

13
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 1: that were very wealthy. One of them died. His brother

14
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: said to the pastor, I'll make a deal with you.

15
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: I'll make a large donation to your church under one

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: condition if at the funeral you'll say my brother was

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: a saint. The pastor agreed, and the man made the donation.

18
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 1: During the service, the pastor said, this man was an

19
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: evil man. He lied, he cheated, he stole, but compared

20
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: to his brother, he was a saint. Say it like

21
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what

22
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: it says. I am. I have what it says I have.

23
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: I can do what it says I can do. Today

24
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: I will be taught the word of God. I'll boldly

25
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I

26
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you today about protecting your imagination.

28
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: We all have pictures that we see in our mind.

29
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: God created us as visual beings, like a movie screen.

30
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 1: Different images will come up, sometimes we're not even thinking

31
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: about it, and the negative imagination will come. We'll see

32
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: our business going down, our child getting off course, us

33
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: losing our health. There's no truth to it. It's not

34
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: going to come to pass. But if you let that play,

35
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: you'll go through the day worried. Wrong imaginations will keep

36
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: you awakened. Dwelling on these negative images will cause you

37
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: to live in fear. It will keep you from expecting

38
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: God's best. It's all an imagination. It's not a reality.

39
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: It's just something you're seeing in your mind, and it's

40
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: one thing to have something to deal with that's actually happening.

41
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,839
Speaker 1: We all face challenges, but too often we're letting these

42
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: wrong imaginations of what might happen, what might not work out,

43
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: what might fall apart to steal our joy cause us

44
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: to live stressed. The good news is you control your imagination.

45
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: You control what pictures play in your mind. Just because

46
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: that negative image comes doesn't mean you have to tune in.

47
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: You can change the channel. The scripture tells us to

48
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: cast down these wrong imaginations, quit letting these negative images play.

49
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: When my mother was fighting terminal cancer, in the middle

50
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: of the night, lying in bed, she would see herself

51
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: being buried in a new pink dress that she had

52
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: never worn. That picture came up on the movie screen

53
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: of her life. She didn't ask for it, she wasn't

54
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: thinking about it. She was trying to stay in faith.

55
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: But these negative imaginations will come, especially when we're in

56
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: difficult times, and they'll show us all the worst case scenarios.

57
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: Have you ever noticed when you're in the heat of

58
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: the battle, you never see pictures of you overcoming the sickness,

59
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: if your business taken off, you're meeting the person of

60
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: your dreams. Those pictures don't automatically come. It's just the opposite.

61
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: If my mother would have pulled up a chair and

62
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: watched that movie night after night of her being buried

63
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: in that pink dress. That would have taken root in

64
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: her spirit. She would have become depressed, defeated, and might

65
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: not be here today. And when you see these negative pictures,

66
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: don't take debate. They are not a reality. That is

67
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: not predicting your future. That is a wrong imagination that

68
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: you need to cast down. Quit worrying about something that's

69
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: not going to happen. Quit losing sleep over something that's

70
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: just in your mind. That's the enemy trying to torment you,

71
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: try to convince you to live stressed out, worried. He

72
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: knows he can't bring it to pass. He doesn't have

73
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: that authority, so the next best thing he'll do is

74
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: try to deceive you into believing that it's a reality,

75
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: so you don't enjoy your life. Don't fall into that trap.

76
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: Guard your mind. I talked to a man that was

77
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: very concerned about his health. His father died at the

78
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: age of forty six, his grandfather died at fifty one,

79
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: and other relatives had died early deaths as well. All

80
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: through his thirties and forties, he was so stress, so fearful.

81
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: Every voice said, that's going to be you, too bad.

82
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: It's in your genes, You're not going to make it.

83
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: Those images would come in his mind. He saw himself

84
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: like his father, getting sick, going downhill. When he made

85
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: it to his forty seventh birthday, he was so happy,

86
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: so relieved. He made it past his father's He was

87
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: still strong and healthy. Thought said, don't get too happy.

88
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: You made it to forty seven, but you'll never make

89
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: it to fifty one. It's just a matter of time.

90
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: Those images kept coming, him going downhill, him losing his health.

91
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: But he made it past fifty one. He made it

92
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: past sixty one, past seventy one, past eighty one. He

93
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: was ninety three years old, looked like he was seventy, strong, healthy, joyful.

94
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: He said, Joel, if I had it to do over again,

95
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have lived all those years worried, losing slight,

96
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: afraid that my health wasn't going to last. Are you

97
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: worrying about a wrong imagination, about something that's not going

98
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: to come to pass. Are you going to look back

99
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: years from now and have to say, like him, if

100
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: I could do it over again, I wouldn't spend all

101
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: that time discouraged, afraid over what I thought was going

102
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,559
Speaker 1: to happen. Why don't you start changing the channel. Those

103
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: negative pictures are not a reality. Some of the things

104
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: the enemy is showing you he should win an Academy award.

105
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: It looks very real, it looks impressive, but it's all

106
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: made up. It is not going to happen. Quit believing

107
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: those lies. This scripture goes on to say, you have

108
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: to bring down every high thing that exalts itself above

109
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: what God says about you. God's not going to do

110
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: it for you. You have to bring it down. God

111
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: says you will lend and not borrow. Whatever you touch

112
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: will prosper and succeed. Instead of watching that picture of

113
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:11,119
Speaker 1: you struggling, not having enough business, going down, cast down

114
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: that imagination that's exalting itself above what God promised you,

115
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: start seeing yourself prosperous, coming out of debt, paying your

116
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: house off, having an abundance so you can be a

117
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: blessing to others. That image is not going to automatically come,

118
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: but you can create it. Use your imagination for the

119
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: right purposes to see what God says about you. God says,

120
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: with long life, he will satisfy you. Instead of watching

121
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: that channel of you going downhill being buried, in that

122
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: pink dress, not making it past your father's death. Bring

123
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: down that imagination, start seeing yourself strong, healthy, living a full,

124
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: blessed life. Or maybe you've gone through a disappointment, a loss,

125
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: an unfair situation. Life hasn't turned out the way you

126
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: had planned. Those images will come up of you living depressed, lonely,

127
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: never fulfilled. But God says he will give you beauty

128
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: for those ashes, that he will pay you back double

129
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: for what was unfair, That he will take what was

130
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: meant for your harm and use it to your advantage.

131
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: Those pictures that are showing you defeated, rejected, lonely, they

132
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: are exalting themselves above what God said about you. Don't

133
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: let them stay up, bring them down. They are not

134
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: a reality. See, the enemy will show you the ashes.

135
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: What he won't show you is the beauty that's coming.

136
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: He'll show you the loss. What he wants show you

137
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: is the new beginning that's on the way. He'll show

138
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: you that it's all downhill from here. What he wants

139
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: show you is the double that's coming, double the joy,

140
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: double the peace, the fulfillment. Now do your part, protect

141
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: your imagination, protect what you're seeing when those images come

142
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: that show you going downhill. They are not from God

143
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: and they are not a reality. Don't waste thirty years

144
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: living worried, stressed out. Switch over into faith. The mistake

145
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: many people make is they only watch one channel whatever

146
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: comes up in their imagination. They think that's all there is,

147
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: so they watch it. You need to get cable in

148
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: your mind. I have five hundred stations at home. When

149
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: I'm watching something I don't like, I don't sit there

150
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: and endure it. I simply change the channel. It's the

151
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: same way in your mind. You can have a lot

152
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:52,239
Speaker 1: of different channels. On one channel, I see myself happy, fulfilled,

153
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: enjoying life. On another channel, I see myself healthy, hold strong.

154
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: On another channel. I see my self prosperous, blessed out

155
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: of death. On another channel. I see Victoria loving me

156
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,359
Speaker 1: with her whole heart. On another channel, I see Victoria

157
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: loving me with her whole heart. I got a bunch

158
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: of those channels. On another channel, I see my children

159
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: doing amazing things, fulfilling their purpose, leaving their mark. On

160
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: another channel, I see our ministry growing, helping more people.

161
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: In another channel, I see myself living into my nineties, healthy, strong,

162
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: finishing my course with joy. So when I switch on

163
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: one of those channels that showed me going downhill, losing

164
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: my health, family falling apart, business drying up, I'm smart

165
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: enough to say, no thanks, I'm not watching that channel.

166
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: I don't watch the defeat channel. I don't watch the

167
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: things are going downhill channel. I don't watch the bad

168
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: memories channel. I stay on the victory channel, the favor channel,

169
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: the more than enough chane channel, the overcoming channel. In

170
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: your mind, when these negative imaginations come up, it's real simple.

171
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: Change the channel. Quit watching things that are depressing you,

172
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: making you worried, causing you to live in fear, not

173
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: pursue your dreams. Cast down those imaginations. You control what

174
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: plays in your mind. You can't stop all the negative

175
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: images from coming, but you can stop them from staying.

176
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: You have the remote control. Don't get stuck on that

177
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: one channel. There was a young lady that came down

178
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: for prayer. She and her husband wanted to have a

179
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: baby in They'd been trying for many years with no success,

180
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: and she'd gone through all the fertility treatments. She said, Joel,

181
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: I've been worried since I was in my early teens

182
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: that i wouldn't be able to have a baby. Because

183
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: if my mother had a terrible time getting pregnant with me,

184
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: my grandmother had the same problem. Other family members have

185
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: struggled with infertility. I always knew this was going to

186
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: happen to me. What you constantly dwell on is creating

187
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: a picture in your imagination. Many times, the enemy doesn't

188
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: have to put negative images in our mind. We're creating

189
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: them with their own thoughts. Now I told her what

190
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. You have to change the channel. Quit

191
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 1: seeing yourself bearing, not able to have a child, disappointed,

192
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: cast down that imagination. God says, the fruit of your

193
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: womb is blessed. He says, your seed will be mighty

194
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: in the land. He said in Psalms, you will be

195
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: the happy mother of children. That means that infertility is

196
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: exalting itself above what God says about you. You have

197
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: to bring that down. She changed the chad. She started

198
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: seeing herself with a baby. She switched off that station

199
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: of all of her relatives bearing disappointed. She started seeing

200
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: her and her husband playing with this baby, having fun,

201
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: going around as a family. Three years later, she came

202
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: back with a beautiful baby girl. Medically speaking, she wasn't

203
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: supposed to have a child, but God has the final say.

204
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: God controls the whole universe. Are negative pictures keeping you

205
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: from your dreams? Do you see yourself overcoming that addiction,

206
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: happily married, accomplishing what God put in your heart? Or

207
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: you watching the wrong channel? The scripture tells us in

208
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: Timothy to have a disciplined mind. You can't watch every

209
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: imagination that comes up. Your mind will naturally gravitate toward

210
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: the negative. If your business starts to slow down, don't

211
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: be surprised if in your imagine nation you start seeing

212
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 1: the creditors coming. You see you having to lay people off,

213
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: You see the doors closing. If you're not disciplined and

214
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: you let that play, you'll go around worried, stressed out.

215
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: What's the answer? Change the channel. You can create new

216
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: pictures in your mind. Start seeing your business taking off,

217
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: seeing new customers finding you, seeing opportunities chasing you down.

218
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: If you're struggling with an illness like my mom, those

219
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: negative imaginations will come. You'll see yourself going downhill, not

220
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: able to go back to work. Be disciplined in your

221
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: thought life. When you're facing a physical battle, you need

222
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: all of your energy to go toward you getting well.

223
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: When you're watching negative imaginations, that's taking your strength, draining

224
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: your energy, making you weaker. Put up some new pictures.

225
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: Start seeing yourself strong and healthy. See yourself out exercising,

226
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: full of energy. See yourself living a long, blessed life.

227
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: If you'll use your imagination the right way, it will

228
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: help you stay hopeful and to believe that God can

229
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: turn it around. When God promised Abraham that he was

230
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: going to be the father of many nations, he was

231
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: in his eighties, too old to have a baby, and

232
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: God told him to go outside his tent, look up

233
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: into the nighttime sky, and as many stars as he

234
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: could see. That's how many descendants he would have. It

235
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: wasn't a coincidence that God wanted him to have a

236
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: picture of it, something that he could see. God knew

237
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: these negative images would come. He knew Abraham would start

238
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: seeing himself as being too old, thinking about how impossible

239
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: it was. So God gave him this picture. And every

240
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: time Abraham was tempted to get worried and talk himself

241
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: out of it, he would go out and look up

242
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: at the sky. He'd imagine how those stars represented what

243
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: God promised him. What's playing on the picture screen of

244
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: your mind, what God has spoken over you, how you'll

245
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: accomplish your dreams, break the addiction, see your health restored.

246
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: Or are you letting discouraging pictures play. If the only

247
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: images you're seeing are negative, it's going to limit you.

248
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: God wants to use your imagination to create fresh vision,

249
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: to make you hopeful, to help you stay filled with faith.

250
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: There was a gentleman diagnosed with cancer of the bladder.

251
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: The doctors told him that it was inoperable. He took chemotherapy,

252
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: but it didn't do any good, and all they could

253
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: do was give him some pain medicine and send him home.

254
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: They told him he had less than a year to live.

255
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: But instead of being depressed giving up on life, he

256
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: did something interesting. All through they he imagined armies of

257
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: healing white blood cells flowing through his body. He pictured

258
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: them coming down from his head, going through his veins

259
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: into his organs, attacking those cantrist cells. He said, these

260
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: images were as clear in my mind as if I

261
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: was watching them on television. Hundreds of times throughout the

262
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: day he saw life, healing, wholeness flowing back into him.

263
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: The whole time thanking God that he was restoring health,

264
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: that he could do the impossible. He went back a

265
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: year later for a checkup. The doctor said, we can't

266
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,239
Speaker 1: explain it. We don't know how this has happened, but

267
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: we can't find any sign of cancer in your body.

268
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: You may be struggling with an illness. The medical report

269
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: doesn't look good. But instead of dwelling on these negative images,

270
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: why don't you start imagining right now, these healing cells

271
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: flow and through you. Picture these cells that are full

272
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: of the life of the Most High God, attacking and

273
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: devouring every sick and disease. Sell in you. See yourself

274
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: getting healthier, See yourself coming out of that sick bed.

275
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: Cancer is no match for our God. What's trying to

276
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: stop you is no match for the creator of the universe.

277
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: Keep the right pictures playing in your mind. Don't let

278
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: your imagination be used to worry you, to defeat you.

279
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: Turn it around and use it to encourage you, to

280
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: strengthen you, to inspire you. God said in Jeremiah, I

281
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: have set you over the nations, to rule over kingdoms,

282
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: to pull down and root out, to build and plant.

283
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: Notice the order before you can build and plant, before

284
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: the situation will turn around before you see increase. You

285
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: have to pull down and root out. Like Jeremiah, God

286
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: has a place of victory for you where you will

287
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: rule over everything that's holding you back. But you have

288
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: to first pull down these wrong imaginations. You have to

289
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: root out any negative pictures. If you're going to a

290
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: job interview, don't imagine that you're not going to get it.

291
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: Don't imagine that they're not going to like you. You're

292
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: defeating yourself before you get there. Pull down that imagination

293
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: and imagine them choosing you. Imagine you standing out. Imagine

294
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: you working there, excelling at that position. If you let

295
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: these negative imaginations play, they'll cause you to be weak, timid,

296
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: feel unqualified. Change the channel, Joel. What if I do

297
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 1: that and it doesn't work. What if you do it

298
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: and it does work. If you do it and you

299
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: don't get the position, that just means God has something

300
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: better in store. But if you're always letting these negative

301
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: images play you, you will never know what you could

302
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: have become. If you feel a pain in your side,

303
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: thoughts will tell you, oh man, that's serious. That's the

304
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: same thing that took your uncle's life. He didn't make

305
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: it that long. Neither will you. If you're not disciplined

306
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: in your mind, you'll get all paniced. You'll start thinking

307
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: of all the worst case scenarios. By the time you

308
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: get home, you'll be righting out your will, making your

309
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 1: final arrangements. All it was was you had too much

310
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: pizza for lunch. You just needed some pepto bismo. Even

311
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: if it is something serious, what's going to help you

312
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: to stay in peace is to keep the right images

313
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: in your mind. Most of the things that come against

314
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: us are not what we think they are. We let

315
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: our imaginations run wild and show us all the worst

316
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: case possibilities. If you hear a siren at night your

317
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: children are not home, thoughts will tell you that's your child.

318
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: Your son's been in an accident. He's headed to the

319
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: hospital right now, So get up, do something about it.

320
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: If you let that plane before long, you'll see the ambulance,

321
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: you'll see the accident, You'll see it all taking place.

322
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: Those are wrong imaginations that you have to cast down

323
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: instead of believing those lies, worrying, imagining the worst. Turn

324
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: it around. Father, Thank you that my children are in

325
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: the palm of your hand. Thank you that no weapon

326
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: formed against them will prosper. Thank you that your angels

327
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: are watching over them, keeping them from accident and harm.

328
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: What am I saying, be disciplined in your mind. Don't

329
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: let your imagination run wild and show you all the

330
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: negative possibilities. There was a twenty three year old young

331
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: lady named Sarah. She went to the grocery store to

332
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: pick up a few items. When she got back in

333
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: her car, she heard a loud noise and felt something

334
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: hit her in the back of the head. She thought

335
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 1: she'd been shocked. She reached up and felt what she

336
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: thought were her brains coming out. She initially passed out.

337
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: When she woke up, she sat in the car motionless

338
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: for over an hour, holding the back of her head,

339
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: trying to keep her brains in. A man walked by

340
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: and noticed something was wrong called the police. The police

341
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: came and asked her to open the car door. She

342
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: said she couldn't she had been shot and she was

343
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: holding her brains in. The police broke open the back window.

344
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: They discovered a can of Pillsbury biscuits had exploded. The

345
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: dough had shot out and hit her in the back

346
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: of the head. Maybe what you're imagining is not what

347
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: you think it is. Maybe that's not your brains after all.

348
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: Here's my point. Maybe you're not stuck. Maybe the addiction

349
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: is not permanent. Maybe your health isn't going downhill. Maybe

350
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 1: your dream is achievable. Perhaps all those pictures that had

351
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: been playing in your imagination are not your true reality.

352
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: Maybe they're just a bunch of dough trying to keep

353
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: you from moving forward. Do yourself a favor, open up

354
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: the car door, let go of your brains, and get gold.

355
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: About a year after I began ministering, the church was

356
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: really growing and we decided to start a second Sunday

357
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: morning service. Now, I announced that on the first Sunday

358
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: of the year two thousand, we were going to have

359
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: this new early morning service. This was in October, so

360
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: I had several months to think about it. During that time,

361
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: all kinds of negative thoughts told me, Joel, this is

362
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: a big mistake. Nobody's going to calme. You're going to

363
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: look like a fool. I tried to stay in faith,

364
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: but one night I had a dream, A better description

365
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: was a nightmare. It was that first Sunday of our

366
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: new service. When I went out to minister, not one

367
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: person was in the auditorium, not Victoria, not my mother,

368
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: not a musician, not an usher, nobody. I woke up

369
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: in a cold sweat. Thoughts told me you better cancel it.

370
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: There's still time to call it off. You can halfway

371
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: save face. All through the day, that image of that

372
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: empty auditorium would come up. I had to do what

373
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm asking you to do, change the channel. Sometimes I'd

374
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: change it and the same picture would be on the

375
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: next station, kind of like watching the presidential debates. They

376
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: are everywhere. I had to keep flipping and flipping till

377
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: I found something encouraging. The week of that first service

378
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: rolled around and I was talking to my mom. I

379
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: kind of nonchalantly said, are you coming to the new

380
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: service this Sunday? She looked at me puzzled and said, Joel,

381
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: does it start this weekend? Thought, dear Lord, we've announced

382
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: at four hundred and thirty seven times my old mother's

383
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: not coming. That dream might have been a prophecy, but

384
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: I said, yes, it starts this weekend. You need to come.

385
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: Bring all your friends, enemy, neighbors, cousins, relatives, ancestors. It

386
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: wasn't easy, but I kept changing the channel. I made

387
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: up my mind. I am not watching the empty auditorium channel.

388
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm not watching that nobody's coming channel. I'm going to

389
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: stay on the victory channel. In my imagination, through my

390
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: eyes of faith, I saw thousands of people coming on

391
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: that first Sunday of two thousand. I was so nervous

392
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: I left the house an hour early. When I pulled

393
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: up to the property, one parking lot was already full.

394
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: We had over six thousand people that day, and they've

395
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: been coming ever since. What am I saying? Cast down

396
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: these wrong imaginations? They are not a reality. They are

397
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: trying to deceive you into living worried, afraid, so you

398
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: will give up on your dreams. Why is it that

399
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: we let our imagination run wild only in the negative direction.

400
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: We imagine the worst, Imagine what's not going to work out.

401
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: Why don't you start letting your imagination run wild in

402
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: the right direction. Imagine living a supersized life. Imagine accomplishing

403
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: your dream, Imagine your children doing amazing things. Let's keep

404
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: the right pictures in our minds. When those negative images

405
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: come up, be quick to change the channel. Remember they

406
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: are not a reality. If you will protect your imagination,

407
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: I believe and declare, like Abraham, God is going to

408
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: bring promises to pass. You're going to overcome obstacles, accomplish

409
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: your dreams, and reach the fullness of your destiny. In

410
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: Jesus's name. If you receive it, can you say it? Men? Today,

411
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus

412
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me?

413
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come

414
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior.

415
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: If you pray that that simple prayer, we believe you

416
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: got born again. Get in a good Bible based church,

417
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: Keep God first place. He's going to take your places

418
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: that you've never dreamed. It's amazing what happens when you

419
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: take a few moments throughout the day to connect with God.

420
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: A moment to thank him for his goodness, a moment

421
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,239
Speaker 1: to declare his promises, a moment to remember that he's working. Now,
