1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm coming to you now from the basin.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: This is a special bonus teaching that I recorded just

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: for you to break it down.

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,159
Speaker 1: A little more, to take it a little deeper. I

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: hope you enjoy this overflow message. Let me know, let's go.

6
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: I think it's crazy inspiring that in the Word of

7
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 2: God they listed the victories that God gave the Israelites.

8
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: Let's start with the fact that it wasn't just Joshua

9
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: who won these victories. When we start the book at Joshua,

10
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: it's like you and all these people are going to

11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 2: enter the land, and nobody does it by themself. Nobody

12
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: who makes any progress, or who sees any success or

13
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: who get forward momentum does it by themselves. And anybody

14
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 2: who says that they do is delusional.

15
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: And nobody does it without God.

16
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: However, there's something that I've learned about myself in the

17
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: last year particularly, and it gave language to why I

18
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: get so discouraged, why I get so defeated feeling, and

19
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: why I can even be winning in my life but

20
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 2: feel weak inside. You know, God's done a lot of

21
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: great things for me, things I can't take credit for,

22
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: and I know He's done the same for you. If

23
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: you look at where your life is today, there are

24
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 2: some things that aren't where you want them to be.

25
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: There are some things that are much further along than

26
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: you ever thought they'd be. In some sense, you might say, man,

27
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: I thought i'd be furthered by now, But there's some

28
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: sense in which you're like, I can't believe that I'm here.

29
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 2: I can't believe that I get to be a parent.

30
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: I can't believe that I get to be married to

31
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: this person. I can't believe that I recovered from that

32
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: that devastation. I can't believe I've been forty days without

33
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: a drink. I can't believe it. I can't believe that,

34
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 2: you know, I made it through that that trauma, survived,

35
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: lived to tell about it. I can't believe that I'm,

36
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: you know, even even reading my Bible, studying my Bible today,

37
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: praying I'm having a better relationship with God.

38
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: Right.

39
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: For some of us, though, it's easier for us to

40
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 2: see how far we have to go than it is

41
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: for us to see how far we've come.

42
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: It has a lot to do with personality.

43
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: It has a lot to do with background, It has

44
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 2: a lot to do with early childhood templates.

45
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm not an expert in that.

46
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: What I came on here to tell you is that

47
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: I got happy when I saw the list of victories

48
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: that God gave Joshua, realizing that just before in Joshua thirteen,

49
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: he starts dividing up the land, because Joshua is really

50
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: a book about battles chapters one through twelve, and boundaries

51
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 2: chapters thirteen up until it's farewell speech battles and boundaries.

52
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: And I want to teach that one day too, So

53
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: I'll come back and do a session on battles and boundaries,

54
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: I'm sure in next few sessions. But before we get

55
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: to that, he goes, he before you divide up the

56
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: land that God gave you, I want you to record

57
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: in the record.

58
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: Now.

59
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: I understand that this list was put in later, I

60
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: know that, but it was put in for a reason

61
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: before they started dividing up all the land that was

62
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: conquered in giving each person their inheritance. They start with Jericho.

63
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: They then go on to remember I. It spelled AI, not.

64
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: Like artificial intelligence, but it's pronounced I.

65
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: They were defeated the first time, but then they went

66
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: back in and beat them the second time where it's interesting.

67
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: It says that Joshua and Israelites conquered I you see it,

68
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: and I say nothing about the time that they got

69
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: beat because it's not talking about that. And this is

70
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: a list of victories, and it goes on and on

71
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: in each one of these. The King of Jerusalem who

72
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: ganged up on them because they had made an alliance

73
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: with the Gibean knights, and they weren't supposed to make

74
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: an alliance with the Gibea kniights, but God gave them

75
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: the victory. Anyway, Well, it's this is a list of victories,

76
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 2: remembering who they conquered, not a list of the conflicts,

77
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 2: not a list of their vulnerabilities. There's a time for that.

78
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: It's called self awareness to know like, this is where

79
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: I'm weak, ah, this is where I need to get better.

80
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: This is how I need to be stronger. This is

81
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: how I could have done it different.

82
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: Boom boom boom boom boom. I got a lists my

83
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: vulnerabilities all day long.

84
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 2: I like to say that, you know, if many of us,

85
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: who are more pessimistic in nature, had been Ezekiel in

86
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: the valley of dry bones, and the Lord said, can

87
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: these bones live. We would have started listing the bones

88
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: instead of speaking the language of faith and saying bones live.

89
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,119
Speaker 2: So it takes faith to say to the bones live.

90
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: It doesn't take faith to list the kinds of bones

91
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: that are in the valley.

92
00:04:59,320 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: There's the pot.

93
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 2: I remember when Abby was learning all the bones in

94
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 2: the human body, as she would just go through the list,

95
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: and it was so cute because she had a little

96
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 2: lisp if you would talk about the patella, and it

97
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: was so cute how she did it.

98
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: But man, it doesn't take any theology.

99
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: To list your problems. All that takes is anatomy to

100
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: list the bones. All that takes is you know, hey,

101
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: even even honesty.

102
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: Go like, yeah, I'm not good at that. I didn't

103
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: handle that right.

104
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 2: We do that all day long. Confession is good. Confess

105
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: your sinds one to another that you may be healed.

106
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 2: You know, present your request to God, make your needs

107
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: known to him, cry out to him for mercy. Have

108
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: broken into contract heart. You will not despise. I am

109
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: not diminishing the value of coming before God.

110
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,559
Speaker 1: In repentance when you get it wrong.

111
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: But there are moments where you have to take inventory

112
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: of your victories and say Look what God did for me,

113
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: Look what he's given me, Look how he.

114
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: Won the battle for me. List your victories. One.

115
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of how to define this guy.

116
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: I don't like to define people. But he does personal

117
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: development and I mentioned him in one of my sermons

118
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: and developed a friendship with him. His name is Brendan Burchard,

119
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: and I like how he phrases this idea of listing

120
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: your victories. He does it from a psychological standpoint. He

121
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: talks about integrate your wins, and maybe he says it

122
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: different than that. That's how I remembered it. I didn't

123
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 2: look at my notes before I got on here. Integrate

124
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: your wins. He's saying, look at the things that you

125
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: have progressed in, look at the things you have accomplished.

126
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: And specifically, when somebody is a high achiever, wired for

127
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: wanting to get better and better and better, which you

128
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: probably are if you're listening to teach the Bible right now,

129
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: you want God to make you better. You're sitting there

130
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: going like, ah, yeah, but I could have done it

131
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: this way.

132
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: Ah yeah, but I just.

133
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 2: You know, like I had a nine point nine, not

134
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: a ten, you know, Ah, man, I just I want

135
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: to give you a little bit of an idea of

136
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: how much of a perfectionist I can tend to be,

137
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: so you don't think I'm just like fussing at you

138
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: about this idea and tell you, you know, be more grateful,

139
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: be more positive, make lemonade. This is not a cliche.

140
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: It's for me, a real, really convicting thing. It's like

141
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: when I don't appreciate the victories, I don't acknowledge the

142
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: giver of the victories, and to just move from battle

143
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: to battle to battle to battle to battle to battle,

144
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: and to never go Okay, hey, look what I did yesterday.

145
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: I went to this meeting that was difficult. I showed

146
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: up for it in a present way. Boom boom. I

147
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: actually sat and listened to my kid tell a long story,

148
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: and I didn't act bored. You know, I did a

149
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: deep bruh when I wanted to say something and I

150
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: bit my tongue, or even bigger stuff like this week,

151
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: I got a song back that we worked hard on

152
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 2: and I had to take a moment and go, hey,

153
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 2: this is just like it's like the final mixed, mastered

154
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: version of a song that we're.

155
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: Going to release soon.

156
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: It's like, hey, before you release this to other people,

157
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: before you send it into the world, and like, chart

158
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: its performance, take it personally, and remember the moment that

159
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: you push through and set up the songwriting session and

160
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 2: it got canceled, so you rescheduled it the same people,

161
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: and you sat down and you pushed in, and you

162
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: pushed into this particular part to write this with these

163
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: particular people, and you put it together and you weren't

164
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: sure about it, but you.

165
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: Tried it out and you moved it.

166
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: You did it, and boom boom boom, boom boom, and

167
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 2: I was like, wow, man, that song belongs on a

168
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 2: list of victories that God gave us that resulted from

169
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 2: battles that we fought. I told you on one of

170
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: these videos.

171
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: I've told it in the Pulpit. I track I'm so

172
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: embarrassed about this.

173
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: I track every workout that I do with a little

174
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: star on a chart, because we used to have charts

175
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: with your bench press and stuff in high school, and

176
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: the idea of like a workout chart like that would

177
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: hang on the wall. So when the volleyball team, the

178
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: girls volleyball team be working out, they'd see the charts

179
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: with the boy's name on it and how much we

180
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: bench pressed. And I'm sure they never even looked at it.

181
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: But as the a fourteen year old boy, you think

182
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: that the bench presses to some total of your masculinity.

183
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: So something about that's like.

184
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: A positive mental trigger for me. Light.

185
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 2: And now you know, I got a star chart on

186
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: the wall, gold stars actually used blue stars.

187
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: Just not important.

188
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 2: The point is just that little thing of going light.

189
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: Hey man, I did my workout today. I do a

190
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: lot of check marks. I am better personally day to

191
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 2: day when I make a list of things I need

192
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 2: to do. But I also need just like a I

193
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 2: need a to do list. I need a God did list.

194
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: You need a God did list. That's what I'm saying.

195
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: You need a God did list. That's what this is.

196
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 2: I promise you that if most of us read this

197
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: little list right here, just this came up as our

198
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 2: daily reading on our U Version Bible reading plan, we

199
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 2: would go SKIPI kip for the people.

200
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: Who fought the battles.

201
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: Every one of these names Era, Libna, Adulam, Mackaida, Bethel,

202
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 2: these kings of these these places, uh, the kings of

203
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 2: uh Hazor and Asscaf, the ghetto. You know these are

204
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 2: actual places. Some of them are named differently today. These

205
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 2: were real kings, these were real battles. This was real blood,

206
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: this was real fear, this was real action. These were

207
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 2: real swords, This was real heat, this was real endurance.

208
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 2: This was this was real. This list for them and

209
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: your list is real to you. And I made a

210
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: meal for my family this week, put my heart in it.

211
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 2: I burned the potatoes, but nobody even knew. I threw

212
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 2: them away. Smelled kind of funny in the kitchen, but

213
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: I did it. You know, You're like, well, that's not

214
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: that doesn't belong on the list, doesn't it. There's thirty

215
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: one kings, Joshua defeated. There's thirty one days in certain months.

216
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: What's this month?

217
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: Okay, February twenty eight, this different month, so okay, But

218
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: that's not the point. There was thirty one in January? Right,

219
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 2: is that right? Fact checkers out there, is that right?

220
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: Yes? Yes, it is.

221
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 2: Thirty one days last month. I bet there was a

222
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: victory every one of those days. Did you take it in?

223
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 2: When Brendan, my friend Brennan talks about integrating your wins,

224
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: he talks about stop pause, feel grateful for it, and

225
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 2: this is where I want to challenge our religious talking

226
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 2: about can you list it and without taking credit for it,

227
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 2: feel a sense that God is proud of you for it,

228
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 2: that he's not impressed by you because he knows like

229
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 2: without him you're nothing, but that he'd like a father

230
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 2: over a child, looks at you and says, yeah, I

231
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 2: like put that on the list. Yeah, I'm proud of you.

232
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 2: It's been three days and you didn't cuss. Put it

233
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 2: on the list. Whatever, you know. I think we need

234
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: little lists, big list. I think we need mental lists,

235
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: written list. I think we need help with this because

236
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 2: if we don't list our victories, we don't strengthify our battles.

237
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: And now you find yourself going into next month going like, okay, man,

238
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: I'm like going to work, paying bills, going to school,

239
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 2: getting it done. I have to start many of my

240
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: days from a baseline of feeling deficient. I've got to

241
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 2: do enough today. I know not everybody's like this, but

242
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: I'll bet you know somebody who is. You love somebody

243
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 2: who is, maybe this will help you understand them. Sometimes

244
00:13:55,320 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 2: by listing the things that the Lord has done in life,

245
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 2: and can I say this, listing the things that you

246
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 2: have done because He was with you listening the things

247
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: he did through you. Wow, God did this yield your body?

248
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: But you went to the doctor, you did the rehab.

249
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: Both are important.

250
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: What's your God did list?

251
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: I started praying a very specific way before I went

252
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 2: out to preach each night at our last Elevation Nights tour.

Speaker 2: to the stage. I'm gonna say the words. I'm gonna

270
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 2: gonna move my lips and use my mind. We're doing

271
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: this together.

272
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,760

274
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: that a good goal for preaching.

275
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: I love that it helped me. I shared it with

276
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: a friend or two. I'm sharing it with you now. God,

277
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: at the end of this day, I want to feel

278
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: good about what we did together. Now, can you build

279
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: in some reflection to go all right, I'm gonna do

280
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: my hand. I'm gonna dopy on a computer. I'm doing

281
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: on my phone. I'm gonna do three right now. I'm

282
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: not gonna list everything. And for those of you love list,

283
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: grocery listing list, Amazon carts, this is a new list

284
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: for you to make. List your victories. You're like, I know,

285
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: count your blessings. Don't talk to don't cown sheep, count

286
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 2: talk to the shepherd.

287
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: You're not hearing me.

288
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: I'm talking about I'm a little bit different. There's a

289
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 2: little distinction here, isn't there. It's owning the fact that

290
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: there are victories God has given you that you haven't

291
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: stopped yet to celebrate.

292
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: I am the world's worst at this.

293
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: So when I coach you or teach you, or preach

294
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: you or mentor you on it, I'm coming from the

295
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 2: place of telling you I need to see that list

296
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: just to remember that. Yeah, man, we got to fight

297
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: the battles and we can't get complacent. There is a

298
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: thing in football called excessive celebration, and this is when

299
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: you lose two pounds so you eat a dozen doughnuts.

300
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: That's the wrong way to celebrate. I taught a sermon

301
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 2: years ago called win a battle, take a bite. Put

302
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 2: that in the chat, when a battle, take a bite.

303
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 2: That sermon was all about, Hey, you need the strength

304
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: of the savoring of this victory to build the faith

305
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: to fight the next battle.

306
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: So list your victories today. Listen them.

307
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 2: When the devil tells you you're nothing, you'll never be

308
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: and you never have been.

309
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, I got some wins. Man.

310
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: Feel I feel David coming in the room right now,

311
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: Shepherd boy, David, you can't kill Goliath. Well, the God

312
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: who's delivered me from the Paula, the lion, paul the bear. Ah,

313
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: what you're doing listing your victories and let them become

314
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 2: a part of you. I think we're so identified with

315
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 2: our weaknesses that we are.

316
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: Blind to our strengths. List your victories.

317
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 2: Sometimes, yes, confess your weaknesses, but list your victories. Listen them,

318
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: Thank God for them, save them to the Lord. Thank

319
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 2: you Lord that you brought me through. Thank you Lord

320
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: that you gave me the ability today that felt good

321
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 2: to do that. Thank you Lord that you helped me

322
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 2: to organize this and that and to make a decision.

323
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: Thank you Lord that I made the decision. And then

324
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: let them become a part of your heart.

325
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: Let them become a part of your sense of seeing

326
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 2: yourself the way God sees you.

327
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: He sees all the little victories. Other people won't. That's

328
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: the problem.

329
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 2: Nobody is gonna come by and patch you on the

330
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 2: butt good game because you showed up on time.

331
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: That might be a big building deal to you. Showing

332
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: up on time.

333
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 2: That might be the one of the hardest things in

334
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 2: your life. Showing up on time, or leaving your phone

335
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: in another room so you can actually focus on a conversation.

336
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: Nobody's gonna congratulate you for that.

337
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: That's why you've got to list it with God for yourself.

338
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 2: So I think This is a wonderful, wonderful thing for

339
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 2: us to think about today, not only the battles we

340
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 2: fight and the blessings, but think of it in terms

341
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 2: of this list in the Book of Joshuba, a book

342
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 2: where he said, be strong and courageous. I'll be with

343
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 2: you wherever you go. And then we get to chapter

344
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: twelve and there's thirty one victories in a list, and

345
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: there's one for every day of the month of January,

346
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 2: and there's one for every day of the next month,

347
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 2: and the next month, and the next month and the

348
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 2: next month. I want you to make big lists of

349
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: things God has done in your life that represent a.

350
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: Year, a season, a week.

351
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 2: I want you to make little list of things that

352
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 2: God did helped you through even in the next hour

353
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: of your day. And I want you to be in

354
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: to open that file in your mind, God, where am

355
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 2: I winning? And then you can deal with and God,

356
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,959
Speaker 2: what do I need to work on? When you come

357
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: from a place of God where am I winning? It

358
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: helps you appreciate His grace, tap into it and move

359
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: forward by faith. We come from a place of what

360

Speaker 2: do I need to work on?

361
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:47,800
