WEBVTT - List Your Victories (The Basin)

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I'm coming to you now from the basin.

0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:08.440
<v Speaker 2>This is a special bonus teaching that I recorded just

0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:10.320
<v Speaker 2>for you to break it down.

0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:13.159
<v Speaker 1>A little more, to take it a little deeper. I

0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 1>hope you enjoy this overflow message. Let me know, let's go.

0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:28.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it's crazy inspiring that in the Word of

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:35.839
<v Speaker 2>God they listed the victories that God gave the Israelites.

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:38.879
<v Speaker 2>Let's start with the fact that it wasn't just Joshua

0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 2>who won these victories. When we start the book at Joshua,

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 2>it's like you and all these people are going to

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:51.480
<v Speaker 2>enter the land, and nobody does it by themself. Nobody

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 2>who makes any progress, or who sees any success or

0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 2>who get forward momentum does it by themselves. And anybody

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.119
<v Speaker 2>who says that they do is delusional.

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 1>And nobody does it without God.

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 2>However, there's something that I've learned about myself in the

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 2>last year particularly, and it gave language to why I

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 2>get so discouraged, why I get so defeated feeling, and

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 2>why I can even be winning in my life but

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.960
<v Speaker 2>feel weak inside. You know, God's done a lot of

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 2>great things for me, things I can't take credit for,

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 2>and I know He's done the same for you. If

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 2>you look at where your life is today, there are

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:39.039
<v Speaker 2>some things that aren't where you want them to be.

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 2>There are some things that are much further along than

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 2>you ever thought they'd be. In some sense, you might say, man,

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 2>I thought i'd be furthered by now, But there's some

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 2>sense in which you're like, I can't believe that I'm here.

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.559
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe that I get to be a parent.

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe that I get to be married to

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 2>this person. I can't believe that I recovered from that

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 2>that devastation. I can't believe I've been forty days without

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 2>a drink. I can't believe it. I can't believe that,

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:10.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, I made it through that that trauma, survived,

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 2>lived to tell about it. I can't believe that I'm,

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, even even reading my Bible, studying my Bible today,

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 2>praying I'm having a better relationship with God.

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 2>For some of us, though, it's easier for us to

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 2>see how far we have to go than it is

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 2>for us to see how far we've come.

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>It has a lot to do with personality.

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 2>It has a lot to do with background, It has

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 2>a lot to do with early childhood templates.

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not an expert in that.

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.800
<v Speaker 2>What I came on here to tell you is that

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 2>I got happy when I saw the list of victories

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 2>that God gave Joshua, realizing that just before in Joshua thirteen,

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:55.080
<v Speaker 2>he starts dividing up the land, because Joshua is really

0:02:55.120 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 2>a book about battles chapters one through twelve, and boundaries

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.640
<v Speaker 2>chapters thirteen up until it's farewell speech battles and boundaries.

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:05.640
<v Speaker 2>And I want to teach that one day too, So

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll come back and do a session on battles and boundaries,

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure in next few sessions. But before we get

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 2>to that, he goes, he before you divide up the

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 2>land that God gave you, I want you to record

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 2>in the record.

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I understand that this list was put in later, I

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 2>know that, but it was put in for a reason

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.360
<v Speaker 2>before they started dividing up all the land that was

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 2>conquered in giving each person their inheritance. They start with Jericho.

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 2>They then go on to remember I. It spelled AI, not.

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Like artificial intelligence, but it's pronounced I.

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 2>They were defeated the first time, but then they went

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 2>back in and beat them the second time where it's interesting.

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 2>It says that Joshua and Israelites conquered I you see it,

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 2>and I say nothing about the time that they got

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>beat because it's not talking about that. And this is

0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 2>a list of victories, and it goes on and on

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 2>in each one of these. The King of Jerusalem who

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 2>ganged up on them because they had made an alliance

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 2>with the Gibean knights, and they weren't supposed to make

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 2>an alliance with the Gibea kniights, but God gave them

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 2>the victory. Anyway, Well, it's this is a list of victories,

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:19.840
<v Speaker 2>remembering who they conquered, not a list of the conflicts,

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.160
<v Speaker 2>not a list of their vulnerabilities. There's a time for that.

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 2>It's called self awareness to know like, this is where

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm weak, ah, this is where I need to get better.

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:29.839
<v Speaker 2>This is how I need to be stronger. This is

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 2>how I could have done it different.

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Boom boom boom boom boom. I got a lists my

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 1>vulnerabilities all day long.

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.360
<v Speaker 2>I like to say that, you know, if many of us,

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 2>who are more pessimistic in nature, had been Ezekiel in

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 2>the valley of dry bones, and the Lord said, can

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 2>these bones live. We would have started listing the bones

0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 2>instead of speaking the language of faith and saying bones live.

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:55.119
<v Speaker 2>So it takes faith to say to the bones live.

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:57.920
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't take faith to list the kinds of bones

0:04:57.960 --> 0:04:58.800
<v Speaker 2>that are in the valley.

0:04:59.320 --> 0:04:59.839
<v Speaker 1>There's the pot.

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.279
<v Speaker 2>I remember when Abby was learning all the bones in

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.280
<v Speaker 2>the human body, as she would just go through the list,

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:05.920
<v Speaker 2>and it was so cute because she had a little

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.919
<v Speaker 2>lisp if you would talk about the patella, and it

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:10.719
<v Speaker 2>was so cute how she did it.

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 1>But man, it doesn't take any theology.

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 2>To list your problems. All that takes is anatomy to

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 2>list the bones. All that takes is you know, hey,

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 2>even even honesty.

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Go like, yeah, I'm not good at that. I didn't

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>handle that right.

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.839
<v Speaker 2>We do that all day long. Confession is good. Confess

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 2>your sinds one to another that you may be healed.

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:45.159
<v Speaker 2>You know, present your request to God, make your needs

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 2>known to him, cry out to him for mercy. Have

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 2>broken into contract heart. You will not despise. I am

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:54.040
<v Speaker 2>not diminishing the value of coming before God.

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.559
<v Speaker 1>In repentance when you get it wrong.

0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 2>But there are moments where you have to take inventory

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:07.719
<v Speaker 2>of your victories and say Look what God did for me,

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Look what he's given me, Look how he.

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Won the battle for me. List your victories. One.

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to think of how to define this guy.

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't like to define people. But he does personal

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 2>development and I mentioned him in one of my sermons

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 2>and developed a friendship with him. His name is Brendan Burchard,

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 2>and I like how he phrases this idea of listing

0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:40.280
<v Speaker 2>your victories. He does it from a psychological standpoint. He

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 2>talks about integrate your wins, and maybe he says it

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.920
<v Speaker 2>different than that. That's how I remembered it. I didn't

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.040
<v Speaker 2>look at my notes before I got on here. Integrate

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:55.680
<v Speaker 2>your wins. He's saying, look at the things that you

0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.520
<v Speaker 2>have progressed in, look at the things you have accomplished.

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.920
<v Speaker 2>And specifically, when somebody is a high achiever, wired for

0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 2>wanting to get better and better and better, which you

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 2>probably are if you're listening to teach the Bible right now,

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.360
<v Speaker 2>you want God to make you better. You're sitting there

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 2>going like, ah, yeah, but I could have done it

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 2>this way.

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Ah yeah, but I just.

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, like I had a nine point nine, not

0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 2>a ten, you know, Ah, man, I just I want

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 2>to give you a little bit of an idea of

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 2>how much of a perfectionist I can tend to be,

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 2>so you don't think I'm just like fussing at you

0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 2>about this idea and tell you, you know, be more grateful,

0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 2>be more positive, make lemonade. This is not a cliche.

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 2>It's for me, a real, really convicting thing. It's like

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 2>when I don't appreciate the victories, I don't acknowledge the

0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 2>giver of the victories, and to just move from battle

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 2>to battle to battle to battle to battle to battle,

0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 2>and to never go Okay, hey, look what I did yesterday.

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.960
<v Speaker 2>I went to this meeting that was difficult. I showed

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 2>up for it in a present way. Boom boom. I

0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 2>actually sat and listened to my kid tell a long story,

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 2>and I didn't act bored. You know, I did a

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 2>deep bruh when I wanted to say something and I

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 2>bit my tongue, or even bigger stuff like this week,

0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.560
<v Speaker 2>I got a song back that we worked hard on

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and I had to take a moment and go, hey,

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.080
<v Speaker 2>this is just like it's like the final mixed, mastered

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 2>version of a song that we're.

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:38.559
<v Speaker 1>Going to release soon.

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:43.360
<v Speaker 2>It's like, hey, before you release this to other people,

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 2>before you send it into the world, and like, chart

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:52.240
<v Speaker 2>its performance, take it personally, and remember the moment that

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 2>you push through and set up the songwriting session and

0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.840
<v Speaker 2>it got canceled, so you rescheduled it the same people,

0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.640
<v Speaker 2>and you sat down and you pushed in, and you

0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 2>pushed into this particular part to write this with these

0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 2>particular people, and you put it together and you weren't

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:09.600
<v Speaker 2>sure about it, but you.

0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Tried it out and you moved it.

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.880
<v Speaker 2>You did it, and boom boom boom, boom boom, and

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 2>I was like, wow, man, that song belongs on a

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 2>list of victories that God gave us that resulted from

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:28.840
<v Speaker 2>battles that we fought. I told you on one of

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 2>these videos.

0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I've told it in the Pulpit. I track I'm so

0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>embarrassed about this.

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 2>I track every workout that I do with a little

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 2>star on a chart, because we used to have charts

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 2>with your bench press and stuff in high school, and

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:48.640
<v Speaker 2>the idea of like a workout chart like that would

0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 2>hang on the wall. So when the volleyball team, the

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 2>girls volleyball team be working out, they'd see the charts

0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 2>with the boy's name on it and how much we

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 2>bench pressed. And I'm sure they never even looked at it.

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 2>But as the a fourteen year old boy, you think

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 2>that the bench presses to some total of your masculinity.

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 2>So something about that's like.

0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.319
<v Speaker 1>A positive mental trigger for me. Light.

0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:13.560
<v Speaker 2>And now you know, I got a star chart on

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.280
<v Speaker 2>the wall, gold stars actually used blue stars.

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Just not important.

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.079
<v Speaker 2>The point is just that little thing of going light.

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Hey man, I did my workout today. I do a

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:30.600
<v Speaker 2>lot of check marks. I am better personally day to

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.200
<v Speaker 2>day when I make a list of things I need

0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 2>to do. But I also need just like a I

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:41.560
<v Speaker 2>need a to do list. I need a God did list.

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 2>You need a God did list. That's what I'm saying.

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:49.120
<v Speaker 1>You need a God did list. That's what this is.

0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:54.839
<v Speaker 2>I promise you that if most of us read this

0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:59.640
<v Speaker 2>little list right here, just this came up as our

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.720
<v Speaker 2>daily reading on our U Version Bible reading plan, we

0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 2>would go SKIPI kip for the people.

0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Who fought the battles.

0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Every one of these names Era, Libna, Adulam, Mackaida, Bethel,

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.960
<v Speaker 2>these kings of these these places, uh, the kings of

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:25.839
<v Speaker 2>uh Hazor and Asscaf, the ghetto. You know these are

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:30.560
<v Speaker 2>actual places. Some of them are named differently today. These

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.440
<v Speaker 2>were real kings, these were real battles. This was real blood,

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.880
<v Speaker 2>this was real fear, this was real action. These were

0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:40.319
<v Speaker 2>real swords, This was real heat, this was real endurance.

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:45.680
<v Speaker 2>This was this was real. This list for them and

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 2>your list is real to you. And I made a

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 2>meal for my family this week, put my heart in it.

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.840
<v Speaker 2>I burned the potatoes, but nobody even knew. I threw

0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.440
<v Speaker 2>them away. Smelled kind of funny in the kitchen, but

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 2>I did it. You know, You're like, well, that's not

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't belong on the list, doesn't it. There's thirty

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 2>one kings, Joshua defeated. There's thirty one days in certain months.

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:09.280
<v Speaker 1>What's this month?

0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:13.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, February twenty eight, this different month, so okay, But

0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 2>that's not the point. There was thirty one in January? Right,

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:24.200
<v Speaker 2>is that right? Fact checkers out there, is that right?

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Yes? Yes, it is.

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Thirty one days last month. I bet there was a

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.600
<v Speaker 2>victory every one of those days. Did you take it in?

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:42.720
<v Speaker 2>When Brendan, my friend Brennan talks about integrating your wins,

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 2>he talks about stop pause, feel grateful for it, and

0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.439
<v Speaker 2>this is where I want to challenge our religious talking

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:54.680
<v Speaker 2>about can you list it and without taking credit for it,

0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.200
<v Speaker 2>feel a sense that God is proud of you for it,

0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 2>that he's not impressed by you because he knows like

0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.839
<v Speaker 2>without him you're nothing, but that he'd like a father

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 2>over a child, looks at you and says, yeah, I

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.960
<v Speaker 2>like put that on the list. Yeah, I'm proud of you.

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:13.840
<v Speaker 2>It's been three days and you didn't cuss. Put it

0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.959
<v Speaker 2>on the list. Whatever, you know. I think we need

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 2>little lists, big list. I think we need mental lists,

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 2>written list. I think we need help with this because

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:25.280
<v Speaker 2>if we don't list our victories, we don't strengthify our battles.

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 2>And now you find yourself going into next month going like, okay, man,

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm like going to work, paying bills, going to school,

0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:42.200
<v Speaker 2>getting it done. I have to start many of my

0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.480
<v Speaker 2>days from a baseline of feeling deficient. I've got to

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.440
<v Speaker 2>do enough today. I know not everybody's like this, but

0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 2>I'll bet you know somebody who is. You love somebody

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.960
<v Speaker 2>who is, maybe this will help you understand them. Sometimes

0:13:55.320 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 2>by listing the things that the Lord has done in life,

0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:07.839
<v Speaker 2>and can I say this, listing the things that you

0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:13.640
<v Speaker 2>have done because He was with you listening the things

0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 2>he did through you. Wow, God did this yield your body?

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.360
<v Speaker 2>But you went to the doctor, you did the rehab.

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Both are important.

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.520
<v Speaker 1>What's your God did list?

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I started praying a very specific way before I went

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:38.960
<v Speaker 2>out to preach each night at our last Elevation Nights tour.

0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:40.440

<v Speaker 2>I went out. God, tonight it's gonna be different than

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:06.880

<v Speaker 2>did together, and that felt really good. I want to

<v Speaker 2>feel good about what we did together. I want to

0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 2>please God. I know you're not gonna say the words.

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:24.600
<v Speaker 2>You're not gonna pick me up and carry me physically

0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.360
<v Speaker 2>to the stage. I'm gonna say the words. I'm gonna

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.680
<v Speaker 2>hold the microphone, it's gonna be in my hand. I'm

0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:32.680
<v Speaker 2>gonna move my lips and use my mind. We're doing

0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 2>this together.

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 1>I need you. And at the end of it, I

0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:37.960
<v Speaker 1>want to feel good about what we did together. Isn't

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 1>that a good goal for preaching.

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:42.880
<v Speaker 2>I love that it helped me. I shared it with

0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 2>a friend or two. I'm sharing it with you now. God,

0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:46.560
<v Speaker 2>at the end of this day, I want to feel

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 2>good about what we did together. Now, can you build

0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 2>in some reflection to go all right, I'm gonna do

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 2>my hand. I'm gonna dopy on a computer. I'm doing

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:56.280
<v Speaker 2>on my phone. I'm gonna do three right now. I'm

0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.960
<v Speaker 2>not gonna list everything. And for those of you love list,

0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:03.000
<v Speaker 2>grocery listing list, Amazon carts, this is a new list

0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.960
<v Speaker 2>for you to make. List your victories. You're like, I know,

0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.840
<v Speaker 2>count your blessings. Don't talk to don't cown sheep, count

0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:09.680
<v Speaker 2>talk to the shepherd.

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 1>You're not hearing me.

0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about I'm a little bit different. There's a

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:21.320
<v Speaker 2>little distinction here, isn't there. It's owning the fact that

0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 2>there are victories God has given you that you haven't

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:24.320
<v Speaker 2>stopped yet to celebrate.

0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:27.880
<v Speaker 1>I am the world's worst at this.

0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.840
<v Speaker 2>So when I coach you or teach you, or preach

0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:34.520
<v Speaker 2>you or mentor you on it, I'm coming from the

0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.240
<v Speaker 2>place of telling you I need to see that list

0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.640
<v Speaker 2>just to remember that. Yeah, man, we got to fight

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.120
<v Speaker 2>the battles and we can't get complacent. There is a

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:48.520
<v Speaker 2>thing in football called excessive celebration, and this is when

0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.400
<v Speaker 2>you lose two pounds so you eat a dozen doughnuts.

0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 2>That's the wrong way to celebrate. I taught a sermon

0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.400
<v Speaker 2>years ago called win a battle, take a bite. Put

0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.240
<v Speaker 2>that in the chat, when a battle, take a bite.

0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:04.160
<v Speaker 2>That sermon was all about, Hey, you need the strength

0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:09.560
<v Speaker 2>of the savoring of this victory to build the faith

0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:10.960
<v Speaker 2>to fight the next battle.

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:14.359
<v Speaker 1>So list your victories today. Listen them.

0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:16.240
<v Speaker 2>When the devil tells you you're nothing, you'll never be

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:17.240
<v Speaker 2>and you never have been.

0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:18.720
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no, I got some wins. Man.

0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Feel I feel David coming in the room right now,

0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Shepherd boy, David, you can't kill Goliath. Well, the God

0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:31.000
<v Speaker 2>who's delivered me from the Paula, the lion, paul the bear. Ah,

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:34.760
<v Speaker 2>what you're doing listing your victories and let them become

0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:37.399
<v Speaker 2>a part of you. I think we're so identified with

0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:38.720
<v Speaker 2>our weaknesses that we are.

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Blind to our strengths. List your victories.

0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes, yes, confess your weaknesses, but list your victories. Listen them,

0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Thank God for them, save them to the Lord. Thank

0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.119
<v Speaker 2>you Lord that you brought me through. Thank you Lord

0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:54.960
<v Speaker 2>that you gave me the ability today that felt good

0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:57.119
<v Speaker 2>to do that. Thank you Lord that you helped me

0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.440
<v Speaker 2>to organize this and that and to make a decision.

0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Thank you Lord that I made the decision. And then

0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:08.680
<v Speaker 1>let them become a part of your heart.

0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Let them become a part of your sense of seeing

0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:14.399
<v Speaker 2>yourself the way God sees you.

0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.560
<v Speaker 1>He sees all the little victories. Other people won't. That's

0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:18.280
<v Speaker 1>the problem.

0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.199
<v Speaker 2>Nobody is gonna come by and patch you on the

0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:24.920
<v Speaker 2>butt good game because you showed up on time.

0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:27.400
<v Speaker 1>That might be a big building deal to you. Showing

0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:27.880
<v Speaker 1>up on time.

0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 2>That might be the one of the hardest things in

0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:33.680
<v Speaker 2>your life. Showing up on time, or leaving your phone

0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:36.720
<v Speaker 2>in another room so you can actually focus on a conversation.

0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Nobody's gonna congratulate you for that.

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:44.760
<v Speaker 1>That's why you've got to list it with God for yourself.

0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.760
<v Speaker 2>So I think This is a wonderful, wonderful thing for

0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:50.639
<v Speaker 2>us to think about today, not only the battles we

0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:54.399
<v Speaker 2>fight and the blessings, but think of it in terms

0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:59.320
<v Speaker 2>of this list in the Book of Joshuba, a book

0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.399
<v Speaker 2>where he said, be strong and courageous. I'll be with

0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:04.560
<v Speaker 2>you wherever you go. And then we get to chapter

0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:08.040
<v Speaker 2>twelve and there's thirty one victories in a list, and

0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:10.720
<v Speaker 2>there's one for every day of the month of January,

0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:12.440
<v Speaker 2>and there's one for every day of the next month,

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:14.679
<v Speaker 2>and the next month, and the next month and the

0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:18.040
<v Speaker 2>next month. I want you to make big lists of
