1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to

Speaker 2: If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 2: blessing and share it with a friend.

00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: your line. God bless you. Thanks so much for letting

00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: us come into your homes, and if you're ever in

Speaker 1: our area, please stop by and be a part of

00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: one of our services. These are the finest people in

10
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: all of Houston, Texas, right here in Lakewood. I promise

11
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: you we will make you feel right at home. But

12
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: thanks for tuning in, Thanks for coming out again. I

13
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: like to start with something funny, and I heard about

14
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 1: these three sisters, ages ninety six, ninety four, and ninety two,

15
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: that lived together. One night, the ninety six year old

16
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: draws a bath, She puts one foot in and stops.

17
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: She hollers downstairs, I can't remember if I was getting

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: in or getting out. The ninety four year old says,

19
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: hang on, I'll come up and help you. She gets

20
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: halfway up the stairs and stops, says, I can't remember

21
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: if I was going up or coming down. The ninety

22
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: two year old sugar Head said, boy, I hope I

23
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: don't get that. Forgetful, and she knocked on wood for

24
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: good luck. Then she said, hang on, I'll come help

25
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: both of you as soon as I see who's at

26
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: the door. Say it like you mean it. This is

27
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: my Bible. I am what it says I am. I

28
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: have what it says I have. I can do what

29
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: it says I can do. Today I will be taught

30
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert,

31
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same.

32
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk

33
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: to you today about unclutter your mind. It's easy to

34
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: go around worried about our future, stressed over our finances,

35
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: frustrated with our boss. We're tempted to live guilty because

36
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: of past mistakes and bitter over what didn't work out.

37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: We wonder why we don't enjoy life, why we're not

38
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: passionate about dreams, why we can't sleep at night. It's

39
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: because our mind is cluttered. You weren't created to live worried, guilty, bitter, upset.

40
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: If you're going to reach your destiny, you have to

41
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: clear out the clutter You can't stop negative things from coming,

42
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: but you can keep them from staying. You don't have

43
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: to hold on to it. When we make mistakes, guilt

44
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: will come, condemnation telling us how we don't measure up.

45
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: You can hold on to it, go around down on yourself,

46
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: or you can let it go and say Father, thank

47
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: you that I am forgiven, thank you that I am redeemed.

48
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: The past is over, this is a new day. I'm

49
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: moving forward. When you go through a disappointment, something doesn't

50
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: work out, you can hold on to it, live discouraged,

51
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: or you can let it go and say, God, I

52
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: know you have something better. I know your plans for

53
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: me are for good. I know you're directing my steps.

54
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: When the medical report is not good, when the contract

55
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: doesn't go through, when you're in a legal situation, you

56
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: can hold on to it live worried, thinking what am

57
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: I going to do? Or you can let it go

58
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: and say God, I know you're fighting my battles. I

59
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: know what's meant for harm. You're turning to my advantage.

60
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: I may not see away, but God, I know you

61
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: have a way. You can clear out the clutter. You

62
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: can get rid of the negative things that are stealing

63
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: your peace, taking your joy, draining your energy. The scripture

64
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: tells us to guard our minds. You have to be

65
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: proactive when it comes to keeping your mind in peace,

66
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: because all through the day there's clutter, there's noise, there's jealousy,

67
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: there's hurts. There's a fence. They may come, but you

68
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: don't have to hold on to it. I saw a

69
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: documentary about hoarders. These are people that never throw anything away.

70
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: And this one lady live by herself in a two

71
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: story house, but you couldn't get upstairs. She had it

72
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: so piled full of trash, old newspapers, empty cereal boxes,

73
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: cans from food that she had eaten thirty years ago.

74
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: There was a small path to the kitchen, to the bathroom,

75
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: and to a little place to sleep, big walls of

76
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: trash on each side. You can imagine how it smelled,

77
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: how unhealthy it was. It got so bad the authorities

78
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: came to do an intervention. They knocked on the front door,

79
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: but she couldn't open it. They went around to the

80
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: side door, barely squeezed in. At one point, this man

81
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: picked up an old popsicle wrapper. Looked like there were

82
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: thousands piled up in the corner. He asked if he

83
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: could get rid of it. The lady told how that

84
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: belonged to her children, that it meant something to her,

85
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: and to put it back. It seemed obvious to everyone

86
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: all she was doing was keeping trash, but she couldn't

87
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: see it. She was so focused on holding onto everything

88
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: and realize it was limiting her life. Now, I wonder

89
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: how many of us are hoarders in our minds. We're

90
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: not letting anything go. There's so much clutter we can

91
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: enjoy our life. God has you hearing this because he

92
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: wants to do an intervention. He wants to help you

93
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: clear out the worry, the offense, the guilt, the bitterness,

94
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: those things that are cluttering your life. What's interesting is

95
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: the authorities didn't make her throw away the trash. It

96
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: was her choice and eventually she decided to do it,

97
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: but it wasn't easy. Everything in her said to hold

98
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: on to it. That's all she had known for years.

99
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: Living cluttered had become normal to her, and sometimes living

100
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: worried has become normal to us. We've done it for years.

101
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: Living guilty is what we're used to. We've gone around

102
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: thinking we don't deserve to be blessed. We made too

103
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: many mistakes. We've let that recording place so long that

104
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: we've accepted it. Or maybe living inferior, feeling less than.

105
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: Perhaps that's how you were raised. Thoughts have always told

106
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: you you're not that talented, you're not attractive, you don't

107
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: have a good personality. We didn't know any better. We

108
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: believe those lies, and now our mind is cluttered. The

109
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: good news is this is your day for an intervention.

110
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: It is time to clear out the clutter those thoughts

111
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: that are telling you you're not up to par. You

112
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: need to say no, thank you. I am fearfully and

113
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: wonderfully made. I have royal blood flowing through my veins.

114
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm wearing a crown of favor. Clear out the negative.

115
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: You have enough people in life against you. Don't be

116
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: against yourself. You've been made in the image of Almighty God.

117
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: God doesn't make any mistakes. He didn't make you faulty.

118
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: He calls you a masterpiece, a prize possession. My challenge,

119
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: don't say another negative word about yourself, dwelling on those

120
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: thoughts telling you what you're not. You are exactly how

121
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be. You have been wonderfully made. Now

122
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: get in agreement with God. All through the day, this

123
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: recording should be playing in our mind. I'm a masterpiece,

124
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm one of a kind. I'm talented, I'm attractive, I'm favored,

125
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm empowered. I have seeds of greatness. When you dwell

126
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: on what God says about you, it will automatically clear

127
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: out the clutter. Fear can't stay where faith is. Discouragement

128
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: can't stay where hope is. Guilt can't stay where forgiveness is.

129
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: Mediocrity can't stay where greatness is. Program your mind with

130
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: what God says about you. But this lady had a

131
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: beautiful house. She couldn't enjoy it. She couldn't get upstairs

132
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: because of the trash. In the same way, if you

133
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: don't clear out the clutter, it will keep you from

134
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: going to new levels. Worry we'll keep you from rising higher. Living.

135
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: Guilty will keep you from pursuing dreams. Going around defended.

136
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: Bitter will keep you from new opportunities, won't you? All

137
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: these people hurt me, they did me wrong. That's why

138
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm bitter. That's why I'm upset. That happened twenty seven

139
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: years ago. Why are you still holding on to it?

140
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: Why are you still sour over the person that walked away,

141
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: still upset over how you were raised, still bitter over

142
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: that company that lets you go. Don't be a hoarder.

143
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: Don't let that poison your future. They hurt you once,

144
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: don't let them continue to hurt you by holding onto it.

145
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: Recognize that's cluttering your mind, that's limiting your vision. Now.

146
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying what they did wasn't hurtful. I'm not

147
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: making excuse for their behavior. But as long as you

148
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: hold on to it, you're giving them your power. You're

149
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: letting them control you. We only have so much emotional

150
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: energy each day. Do you know how much energy it

151
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: takes to hold a grudge, to be bitter, to go

152
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: around trying to pay people back. That is valuable energy

153
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: you need for your dreams, for your goals, for your children.

154
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: God said he will give you beauty for ashes. But

155
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: here's the key. You have to let go of the

156
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: ashes before you receive the beauty. You can't go around hurt, living, offended,

157
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: upset and see the new things God has in store.

158
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: You have to clear out the clutter. That's what makes

159
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: room for God to give you the beauty. The mistake

160
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: we make sometimes is we think we have to get even,

161
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: we have to pay people back. No, that's not your job.

162
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: If you'll turn it over to God, he'll be your vindicator.

163
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: He'll bring justice into your life. He saw every hurt,

164
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: every wrong, every person that took advantage of you. I've

165
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: learned God will vindicate you better than you can vindicate yourself.

166
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: David said, God will prepare a table before you in

167
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: the presence of your enemies. That means when God brings

168
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: you out those people that did you wrong, the people

169
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: that tried to hold you back, they will see you promoted, honored,

170
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: in a position of influence. God is not going to

171
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: vindicate you in private. He's going to do it in public,

172
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: so your enemies see you blessed, favored, successful. When my

173
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: dad went to be with the Lord and I stepped

174
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: up to pastor the church, I was very insecure. I

175
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: had never ministered before. One Sunday, right after I first

176
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 1: started speaking, I was walking through the front lobby and

177
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: I overheard these two older ladies talking. One said he's

178
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: not as good as his father. The other answered, yeah,

179
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to make it. That was

180
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: the last thing I needed to hear It was like

181
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: my worst nightmare. I was tempted to shrink back and think,

182
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: I can't do this, Nobody's going to listen to me.

183
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: But I felt something rise up in me so strongly

184
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: I thought, who are they to tell me what I

185
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: can't do? They didn't breathe life into me. They don't

186
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: determine my destiny. They didn't know me before I was

187
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: formed in my mother's wound. I don't need their approval.

188
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: I don't have to have them to be for me.

189
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: I did what I'm asking you to do. I cleared

190
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: out the clutter, and every time their voices came to

191
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: my mind, I said, no thanks. I am well able,

192
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: I am strong in the Lord. God being for me

193
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: is more than the world being against me. And they

194
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: still may not like me, but that's okay. When they

195
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: turn on the television, they probably see me. When they're

196
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: flipping through serious XIM they might hear me. What was

197
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: that God preparing a table in the presence of my

198
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: enemies When we were trying to acquire this building, the

199
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: former Compact Center. A well known business leader in Houston

200
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: told a friend of mine that it would be a

201
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: cold day in hell before Lakewood got the Compact Center.

202
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: He was very against us. The company we were up

203
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: against was much bigger, had many more resources. But God

204
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: stepped in and made things happen that we never could

205
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: make happen. And here we are today. But I can

206
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: imagine every time that man drives down the freeway sees

207
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: our building with a big Lakewood sign, he must think

208
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: it's a cold day in hell, because here we are.

209
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: What was that God honoring us in front of the opposition.

210
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: Now I'm not gloating over it, not too much anyway.

211
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: But here's my point. God knows how to vindicate you.

212
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: It would be one thing if he did it in private,

213
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: we would be grateful. But God is going to do

214
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: it in public. He's preparing a table in the presence

215
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: of your enemies. That means when you have opposition, when

216
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: you have trouble and things come against you, God has

217
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: a table there. The key is to don't fight with

218
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: the opposition. Don't live worried, upset, stressed out. No, take

219
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: a seat at the table God has prepared. If you

220
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: will stay in rest, then God will go to work.

221
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: But when you work, God rest. As long as you're uptight, worried,

222
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: trying to make it happen. Only in your own strength.

223
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: It will limit what God will do. The Psalm is said,

224
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: be still and know that he is God. Clear out

225
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: the worry, clear out the negativity. Live from a place

226
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: of faith of peace. God has you in the palm

227
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: of his hand. Nothing you're facing is a surprise to him.

228
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: He said to the Israelites, stand still, and you will

229
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: see the deliverance of the Lord. He wasn't just talking

230
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: about physically. He's talking about in their mind, in their attitude,

231
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: in their spirit. You may have plenty of good reasons

232
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: to live upset, worried, not able to sleep at night.

233
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: But when you're in peace, that's a position of power.

234
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: When you're in peace, you're showing God that you trust him.

235
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: Anyone can stay in faith when everything's going our way.

236
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: The test comes when the contract doesn't go through, when

237
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: your child is off course, when the medical report is

238
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: not good. It's easy to let the clutter in. No,

239
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: be still, that's the time to show God that you

240
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: trust him, not just with your words, but with your actions. See,

241
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: the enemy's main target is our mind. That's the control

242
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: center for our life. If he can keep it cluttered

243
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: filled with doubt. What if it doesn't work out, Joel,

244
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: What if my health doesn't improve, What if I don't

245
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: meet the right person. As long as our mind is cluttered,

246
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: it keeps God from turning it around. God works where

247
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: there's faith. In Second Chronicles thirty two, the king of

248
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: Syria had a huge army. They had invaded that whole region,

249
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: conquering all these large fortified cities by tearing down the

250
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: walls and capturing the people. The city of Jerusalem was

251
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: next in line. Word quickly spread throughout the Israelite camp.

252
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: The people begin to panic, so worried, thinking what are

253
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: we going to do? They're so much bigger than us.

254
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: King Hezekiah said to the Israelites in verse seven, don't

255
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: be afraid of this mighty army, for there is a

256
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: power far greater on our side. They may have a

257
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: great army, but they are just men. We have the Lord,

258
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: our God, to fight our battles for us. When you

259
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: face big enemies, big oppositions, you have to remind yourself

260
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: our God is bigger than the cancer. He's bigger than

261
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: the addiction. He's bigger than the people that are trying

262
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: to stop you. The way to stay in faith is.

263
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: Don't talk about how big the problem is. Talk about

264
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: how big your God is. He flung stars into space,

265
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: he spoke worlds into existence. He healed my mother of

266
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: terminal cancer. He gave us the Compact Center. The good

267
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: news is right now. He's breathing in your direction. He's

268
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: pushing back forces of darkness. He's lining up the breaks

269
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: that you need. Don't let fear clutter your mind. Don't

270
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: let doubt keep you from your miracle. Don't let people

271
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: talk you out of your dreams. The King of Syria

272
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: sent a letter to the israel Lights, threatening them. It's said,

273
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: we've conquered all these cities, We've captured all these people.

274
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: None of their God saved them. What makes you think

275
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: your God is going to save you. The enemy will

276
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: always try to defeat you first in your thoughts, things

277
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: like you'll never get well. Your grandmother died of the

278
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: same thing. You'll never break the addiction, that problem will

279
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: never turn around. Don't believe those lies. He wouldn't be

280
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: telling you that unless he knew it was on the way.

281
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: Do like Hezekiah. Yes, this problem may be big, but

282
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: I know a secret. My God is much bigger. He's

283
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: on the throne. He has the final say. What he

284
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: started in my life, he will finish. Had Hezekiah not

285
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: been proactive to guard his mind and to speak victory

286
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: to the people, they would to all panic, lived in fear. Instead,

287
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: they stayed in peace. Verse twenty one says, Godd send

288
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: an angel that destroyed the whole enemy army. That king

289
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: went home in disgrace, returned to his land. God knows

290
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: how to vindicate you. He knows how to turn the

291
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: problem around. One angel wiped out the whole bunch. Now

292
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: stay in faith. When you're attempted to worry, turn it

293
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: into worship. Father, Thank you that your angels are working

294
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: in my life. Thank you that no weapon formed against

295
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: me will prosper. Thank you that the trap the enemy

296
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: set for me, they will fall in themselves. If we're

297
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: going to keep the clutter out, we have to know

298
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: what's our job and what's God's job. Sometimes we're frustrated

299
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: because we're trying to do what only God can do.

300
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: You can't make yourself get well, make somebody do what's right,

301
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: make a door open. Our part is to believe. Our

302
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: part is to stay in faith and then let God

303
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: do his part. Trust him to work it at Hezekiah

304
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: could have thought, I know God's on my side. I'm

305
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: going to go attack this army, show them who they're

306
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: dealing with. We wouldn't be reading about it. I'm not

307
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: saying to always sit back and be passive, but there

308
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: are some battles you're not supposed to find. Let God

309
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: fight them for you. Even with the Compact Center, we

310
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: had a three year legal battle, and yes we did

311
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: what we could, but we recognize God, this is too

312
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: big for us. Only you can make this happen. So

313
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: we're going to be still and know that you are God.

314
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: Like with Hezekiah, God stepped in and made things happen

315
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: that we could have never made happen. But while you're

316
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,959
Speaker 1: waiting for things to change, that's a test. It's easy

317
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: to live worried focused on your problem, think it about

318
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: how it's never going to work out. Oh, clear out

319
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: that clutter. Isaiah said, if you'll keep your mind stayed

320
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: on him, God will keep you in perfect peace. Our

321
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: part is to keep our mind on him. God. Thank

322
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: you that you're in control, Thank you that you are

323
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: for me. Thank you that your destiny for my life

324
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: will come to pass. If we do our part, God

325
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: will do his part. He'll not only keep you in peace,

326
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: but he'll get you to where you're supposed to be.

327
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: In the scripture, there were three Hebrew teenagers that were

328
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: about to be thrown into a fiery furnace because they

329
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't bow down to the king's golden idol. The king

330
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: threatened them one last time. They said, King, we're still

331
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: not going to bow down. We know our God will

332
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: deliver us. They had this attitude of faith, but what

333
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: they said next was the real key. They went on

334
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: to say, even if he doesn't deliver us, we're still

335
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: not going to bow down. That's a powerful position when

336
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: you can say I'm going to stay in peace if

337
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: it were out my way, and I'm going to stay

338
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: in peace if it doesn't work out my way, then

339
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: you take away all the power of the enemy. If

340
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: you're only going to be happy if it happens your way,

341
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Why don't you take

342
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: this next step? God, this is what i'm believing for,

343
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: this is what I want. But God, you know what's

344
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: best for me. And if it doesn't happen my way,

345
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,239
Speaker 1: I'm still going to stay in peace. I'm still going

346
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: to have a song of praise. I'm still going to

347
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: be good to people. That's what allows God to do

348
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: amazing things. But there's a lot of noise these days.

349
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: There's a lot of drama things that we can get

350
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: pulled into. Worry, conflict, jealousy. That may be all around us,

351
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: but it doesn't have to get in us. Pay attention

352
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: to what you're allowing in your spirit. Just because there's

353
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: conflict with your relatives doesn't mean it has to get

354
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: in you. Don't take that, babe, Stay on the high road.

355
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: Maybe at the office you could be frustrated people are

356
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 1: playing politics, not treating you right. It's easy to let

357
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: that sour your day. Come home negative, No clear out

358
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: that clutter. Your time is too valuable to live it upset, bitter.

359
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: This day is a gift from God. Once we live it,

360
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: we can never get it back. And sometimes we've become

361
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: so hooked on drama, so used to living uptight, worrying

362
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: about this situation, putting out this fire, fighting with this relative,

363
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: we've forgotten what it's like to be in peace, to

364
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: not have all that clutter. That is not the way

365
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: God created us. In the garden of Eden before they

366
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: ate the forbidden fruit. There wasn't any noise, any drama,

367
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: any jealousy, backstabbing politics. It was peaceful, joyful. And no

368
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: it's not like that now. But you can choose to

369
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: live from a place of peace. You don't have to

370
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: let the outside get on the inside. Maybe you've become

371
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: comfortable with the clutter like this lady. You don't recognize

372
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: that it's limiting your vision, that is blocking your potential.

373
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: Not only that it doesn't smell good. Worry doesn't look

374
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: good on you. Living guilty, bitter, offended, angry. That is

375
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: not your style. Clear out that clutter and you'll step

376
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: into new levels. I read where a sheep won't give

377
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: birth in a noisy place. When it's about to go

378
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: into labor. It will leave the flock, get away from

379
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: all the commotion, all the busyness, and find a quiet place.

380
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: In that peaceful atmosphere, it will give birth. In the

381
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: same way. You won't give birth to your dreams in

382
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: a noisy place. You won't give birth to that breakthrough

383
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: you're believing for. If you're worried, if your mind is,

384
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: you won't give birth to your potential. If your mind

385
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: is full of hurts, regrets, bitterness. You may wonder why

386
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: God is not doing anything. Perhaps He's waiting for you

387
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: to find a quiet place. And it may be noisy

388
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: all around you, but in your mind you can be

389
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: in peace when you know God is in control, when

390
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: you know he's directing your steps, when you know nothing

391
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: can stand against him, then you can live out of

392
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: a quiet place. David said, God makes me to lie

393
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: down in green pastures. He leads me by the still waters.

394
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: You could think David had an easy life. Everything must

395
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: have gone his way he lived in the green pastures.

396
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: It was just the opposite. David's life was full of difficulties.

397
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: People trying to stop him, armies trying to defeat him.

398
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: His own family didn't believe in him. Yet he said,

399
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: I lie down in green pastures by still waters. He

400
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: wasn't just talking about physically, he was talking about in

401
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: his mind. Despite all that came against him, he chose

402
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: to live in a place of peace. God is saying

403
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: to you, come into the green pastures, come by the

404
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: still waters. You don't have to carry all that clutter.

405
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: It's time to get rid of the offense, the hurts,

406
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: the guilt, the anger, there are some new things God

407
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: wants you to birth. You know where You're going to

408
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: birth them, by the still waters. If you'll be still,

409
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: you will know he is God. You will see him

410
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: show out in your life. I'm asking us to unclutter

411
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: our minds. Living guilty is not your destiny. Going around

412
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: down on yourself, thinking problems are too big is not

413
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: who you were created to be. Empty out the negative

414
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: and program your mind with what God says about you.

415
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: If you'll do this, I believe and declare You're going

416
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: to give birth to dreams, to promotion, to healing, to breakthroughs.

417
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: God is going to defeat enemies much bigger open doors

418
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: that you couldn't open, and take you to the fullness

419
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: of your destiny. In Jesus' name, if you receive it,

420
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: can you say amen? Today? I'd like to give you

421
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.

422
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I

423
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make

424
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: you my Lord in Savior. Friends, if you prayed that

425
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get in

426
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: a good Bible based church. Keep God first place. It's

427
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: easy to get stuck in life because of fear and

428
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: lack of confidence. We've been through disappointments, but I'm excited

429
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: about Victoria's new book to Go. It'll help you move

430
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: past what's holding you back and step into new levels

431
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: of your destiny.
