But thanks so much for 47 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: tuning in, and thank you again for coming out today. 48 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 2: I like to start with something funny, and I heard 49 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 2: about this country couple. They were celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary. 50 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 2: They'd never had an argument before, not one. Someone asked 51 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 2: them the secret of their success. The husband explained, as 52 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 2: they were leaving the church going on their honeymoon, the 53 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: wife's horse refused to go. She got off, looked the 54 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 2: horse in the eyes and said, that's one. He went 55 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: a little bit further, stopped again. She got off, looked 56 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 2: the horse in the eyes, said that's two. Went a 57 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: little bit more, stopped another time. This time she got off, 58 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 2: pulled out her revolver, and shot the horse dead. Her 59 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 2: husband said, what in the world are you doing. You 60 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: can't just shoot an animal. She looked at him and said, honey, 61 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: that's one. Hold up, say it like you mean it. 62 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 63 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do 64 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be 65 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 2: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 66 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 67 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 2: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 68 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 2: to talk to you about having a positive mindset. Every 69 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 2: day we get to choose what kind of attitude we're 70 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 2: going to have. We can choose to be happy, look 71 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 2: on the bright side, expect good things, believe that our 72 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 2: dreams will come to pass. Or we can choose to 73 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 2: be negative, focus on our problems, dwell on what didn't 74 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 2: work out, lived, worried, and discouraged. It's a choice that 75 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 2: we all make. Nobody can force you to have a 76 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: certain attitude. Life will go so much better if you 77 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 2: will simply choose to be positive when you wake up 78 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: in the morning. Choose to be happy, Choose to be 79 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: grateful for the day. Choose to focus on your possibilities. 80 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 2: A good attitude doesn't automatically come. If you don't make 81 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: this choice, most likely you will default back to a 82 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 2: negative mindset, thinking, I don't feel like going to work, 83 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 2: I've got so many obstacles, nothing good ever happens to me. 84 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 2: The problem is a negative attitude will limit your life. 85 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 2: We all face difficulties, we all have tough times. But 86 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: the right attitude is this didn't come to stay. It 87 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: came to pass. It's only temporary. Maybe you didn't get 88 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 2: the promotion you were hoping for. You could easily be sour. 89 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 2: Now that's all right, I know God has something better 90 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 2: in store. You got caught in traffic. I'm not going 91 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,799 Speaker 2: to be stressed. I know I'm at the right place 92 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: at the right time. God is directing my steps. Perhaps 93 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 2: the medical report wasn't good, I'm not worried. God has 94 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 2: me in the palm of his hand, the number of 95 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 2: my days he's promised to fulfill. Or maybe it's that 96 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: your dream is taking longer than you thought. But that's 97 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: all right. I know the right people, the right opportunities 98 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 2: are already in my future at the right time. It 99 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: will come to pass. When you live with this positive mindset, 100 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: you can't be defeated. No matter what comes your way, 101 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: you shake it off and move forward. It's like a 102 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 2: little boy I heard about. He had a baseball bat 103 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 2: and a ball. He said to himself, I'm the best 104 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 2: hitter in all the world. He threw the ball up, 105 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 2: swung at it and missed, picked it up, straightened his hat, 106 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,239 Speaker 2: said it again, I'm the best hitter in all the world. 107 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 2: Threw the ball up a second time, swung away and 108 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: missed again. This time he said it even more determined. 109 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: I'm the best hitter in all the world. He threw 110 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 2: the ball up the third time, concentrated, swung away, but 111 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 2: he missed it the third time, laid the bat down. 112 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: Smile real big, what do you know, I'm the best 113 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 2: picture in all the world. Stay positive, Learn to focus 114 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: on the bright side, see the silver lining in every cloud. 115 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 2: A lot of people use the excuse I'm negative because 116 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 2: I've had negative things happen to me, my business didn't 117 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 2: make it, a friend did me wrong, or Joel, I'm 118 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 2: dealing with this sickness. That's why I'm sour now. The 119 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 2: truth is, it's not our circumstances that make us negative, 120 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 2: it's our attitude toward those circumstances. You can take twenty 121 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 2: positive people and twenty negative people and give them the 122 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 2: same problem, put them on the same job, the same family, 123 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 2: the same house, and the positive people will come out 124 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 2: just as positive, with a great attitude, as happy as 125 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 2: they were before. The negative just as negative. Same problem, 126 00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 2: exact circumstances, two different outcomes. What's the difference their attitude? 127 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 2: Positive people have made up their mind to enjoy their lives. 128 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 2: They focus on the possibilities, not the problems. They're grateful 129 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 2: for what they have, not complaining about what they don't have. 130 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 2: Positive people know that God is in control and that 131 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: nothing happens without his permission. They choose to bloom where 132 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 2: they're planet. They don't wait for the situation to change, 133 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: and then they're going to be happy. They're happy while 134 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 2: God is changing the situation. And when you're positive, you 135 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 2: are passing the test. You're saying God, I trust you, 136 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 2: I know you're fighting my battles for me, and I've 137 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 2: learned if you don't get happy where you are, you 138 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 2: probably will never get to where you want to be. 139 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 2: Don't wait for everything to work out. Then you're going 140 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 2: to have a good attitude. Have a good attitude now, 141 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 2: then God can begin to change the situation. And let's 142 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 2: keep the right perspective. Some people would love to have 143 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 2: our problems. They would gladly trade places with you. They 144 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 2: would love to have that job that has you frustrated. 145 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 2: They would love to sit in traffic in that car 146 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 2: you don't like. They would love to have your husband 147 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 2: that gets on your nerves. Some of you are thinking, 148 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 2: can I give you a phone number? Real quick. They 149 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 2: would love to live in that house that you think 150 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 2: is too small. And as soon as I get into 151 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 2: this new neighborhood, then I'll be happy. Now, why don't 152 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 2: you choose to be happy right where you are? Why 153 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 2: don't you decide to have a good attitude with what 154 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 2: you have or with what you don't have. It's all 155 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 2: in our approach to life. One man gets up and says, 156 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 2: good morning, Lord. Another man gets up and says, good Lord, 157 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 2: it's mourning. Which man are you? You control what kind 158 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 2: of day you're going to have. You're as happy as 159 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 2: you want to be. And a lot of times we're 160 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 2: making ourselves unhappy. We can't control the weather, the traffic, 161 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 2: how people treat us. If our happiness is based on 162 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 2: everything going our way, everybody treating us right, we're going 163 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 2: to live frustrated. Before you leave the house, you need 164 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 2: to make up your mind. You're going to stay positive 165 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 2: and enjoy the day, no matter what comes your way. 166 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 2: You have to decide ahead of time. That's what it 167 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: says in Colossians three. Set your mind on higher things 168 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 2: and keep it set. The higher things are positive things. 169 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 2: When you wake up in the morning, you need to 170 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 2: set your mind for victory. Set your mind for success. 171 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: Our attitude should be this is going to be a 172 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 2: great day. God's favor is on my life. I'm excited 173 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 2: about my future. When your mind is set positive, hopeful, 174 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 2: expecting good things, that's when you'll go places that you've 175 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 2: never dreamed. New doors will open, the right people, the 176 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 2: right opportunities will come across your path. But if you 177 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 2: don't set your mind, negative thoughts will set it for you. 178 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 2: You cannot start the day off in neutral. If you're passive, 179 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: lying in bed, the thoughts will come. You're never going 180 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 2: to accomplish your dreams. Nothing good happens to you. You'll 181 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 2: never get married, you're too old, you'll never get well, 182 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 2: you'll never get out of debt. You may not realize it, 183 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 2: but that's setting the tone for defeat, for failure, for 184 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: a lousy day, right at the start. Get your mind 185 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: going in the right direction. This is the reason why 186 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: some people don't have the energy they should, the passion, 187 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 2: the enthusiasm, the vision. Their mind is set in the negative. 188 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 2: It's been that way so long. They don't know any better. 189 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 2: It's normal to them. They go out expecting problems, bad breaks, 190 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 2: to not be treated right to barely get by. They 191 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 2: live by Murphy's law. It says, if anything can go wrong, 192 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 2: it will, and at the worst possible time, things will 193 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 2: take longer than they look. Everything will be harder than 194 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 2: it seems. Because they haven't set their mind. They go 195 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 2: out expecting the negative. They wonder why they can't get 196 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 2: ahead and why everything's a struggle. It's because their mind 197 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 2: has been set by default for defeat, for failure, for 198 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 2: bad breaks. You've got to change your outlook. You are 199 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: a child of the most high God. You are never 200 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: created to live an average get by short into the 201 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 2: stick life. You are created to be the head and 202 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 2: not the tail, to lend and not borrow, to reign 203 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 2: in life as a king. That means you have royalty 204 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 2: in your blood. Winning is in your DNA. Now get 205 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 2: rid of a negative mentality and set your mind for victory. 206 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 2: Set your mind for increase, Set your mind for good breaks. 207 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 2: Start expecting your plans to work out. Expect people to 208 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 2: be good to you, Expect to have a productive day, 209 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 2: and if it doesn't happen, don't fall back into that old, negative, 210 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 2: defeated mentality. I knew this wouldn't work for me. Joel 211 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 2: It always takes me longer than everybody else. I can 212 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 2: never find a parking spot. Nobody treats me right. No, 213 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 2: you're not a victim. You are a victor. You wouldn't 214 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 2: have that opposition if there wasn't something amazing in your future. Now, 215 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 2: keep a smile on your face, keep a spring in 216 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 2: your steps, stay positive, stay hopeful. God is still on 217 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 2: the throne. You may have had a lot of unfair, 218 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 2: negative things happen in the past, but don't let that 219 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 2: become a stronghold, a pattern to where you think that's 220 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 2: all there will ever be. You live with a negative mindset. Now, 221 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 2: if God were to show you all he has planned 222 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 2: for you, it would boggle your mind. If you could 223 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 2: see the doors he's going to open, the people he's 224 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 2: going to bring across your path, the opportunities that are 225 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 2: going to show up, you'd be amazed, excited, passionate. It 226 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 2: would be easy to set your mind for victory. This 227 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 2: is what faith is all about. You have to believe 228 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 2: it before you see it. Right now, God's favor is 229 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 2: surrounding you like a shield. Every setback was a setup 230 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 2: for a greater comeback. Every disappointment, every bad break, every 231 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 2: person that did you wrong was a part of the 232 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 2: plan to get you to where you're supposed to be. Now, 233 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 2: don't fall into that negative mentality, complacent, just taking whatever 234 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: life comes your way. No, set your mind for victory, 235 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 2: for success, for new levels. Enlarge your vision. Make room 236 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 2: for God to do something new. You haven't touched the 237 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: surface of what he has in store. I was talking 238 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 2: to a reporter one time, and I could tell he 239 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 2: didn't like the fact that my message is very positive 240 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 2: and very hopeful. He asked what I would tell a 241 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 2: person that had lost their job and didn't have any family, 242 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 2: and they were about to lose their house and had 243 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 2: nowhere to go, and had a child that was sick 244 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 2: and needed treatment, on and on. He painted the worst 245 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 2: possible situation. I said, I would tell them number one 246 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 2: to get up and find something to be grateful for, 247 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 2: and number two go out expecting it to turn around, 248 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 2: expecting new doors to open, expecting a breakthrough. Proverb says, 249 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 2: when darkness overtakes, the righteous light will come bursting in. 250 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 2: And when it's dark, when you don't see a way out, 251 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 2: you're in prime position for favor to come bursting in. 252 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 2: He said, all Joe wouldn't that just be giving them 253 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 2: false hope. Well, here's the alternative. I could tell them 254 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 2: to be negative, get bitter, give up on your dreams, 255 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: be depressed, start complaining. All that's going to do is 256 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 2: make matters worse. You may be in a difficult time, 257 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 2: but you have to dig your heels in and say, 258 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 2: I refuse to live my life negative. I refuse to 259 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 2: give up on my dreams. I refuse to go through 260 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 2: life with no passion. I may not see away, but 261 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 2: I know God has a way. It may be dark, 262 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 2: but I'm expecting the light to come bursting in. I'm 263 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 2: setting my mind for victory. That's what allows the creator 264 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 2: of the universe to show up and do amazing things. 265 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 2: And it's not just mind over matter. It's not just 266 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 2: a positive attitude. It's your faith being released. When you 267 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 2: believe it gets God's attention. When you go out expecting 268 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 2: things to turn around, expecting dreams to come to pass, 269 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 2: expecting health, wholeness, favor, divine connections, then Almighty God goes 270 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 2: to work. You may have had a thousand bad breaks 271 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 2: in the past, but don't use that as an excuse 272 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: to be negative. One good break can make up for 273 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 2: all those bad breaks, one touch of God's favor can 274 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 2: catapult you further than you ever imagined. Maybe you feel 275 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 2: like you're falling behind. You're not where you should be 276 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 2: in life. Don't worry. God knows how to make up 277 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 2: for lost time. He knows how to accelerate things. Now 278 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 2: do your part and shake off a negative mentality, shake 279 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 2: off pessimism, self pity, discouragement, and get your fire back. 280 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 2: Life is flying by. You don't have time to waste 281 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 2: another day being negative. You have a destiny to fulfill. 282 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 2: You have an assignment to accomplish. What's in your future 283 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 2: is greater than anything you've seen in the past. We 284 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 2: need to get rid of the old Murphy's law and 285 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 2: live by just the opposite. If anything good can happen today, 286 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 2: it can happen to you and me. It's gonna be 287 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 2: easier than it seems. It's not gonna take as long 288 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 2: as it looks. Why you've been highly favored, Almighty God 289 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:17,479 Speaker 2: is breathing in your direction. You are equipped, empowered and anointed. Hey, 290 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 2: you said joy, You're just getting people's hopes up. You're 291 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 2: just trying to get us to live positive. Yes, and 292 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,959 Speaker 2: here's why God is a positive God. There is nothing 293 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 2: negative about him. If you're negative, sour discourage, you are 294 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 2: going against the flow of God. When we travel from 295 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 2: Houston to Los Angeles on a plane, it always takes 296 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 2: us thirty minutes longer to get there than it does 297 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 2: to come back home. It's because the jet stream flows 298 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 2: from west to east. When we're traveling there, there's a large, 299 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 2: massive air that's always blowing against us, slowing us down. 300 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 2: The plane has to work harder, use more fuel, spend 301 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 2: more in energy. But when we're coming back home, of course, 302 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 2: it's just the opposite. The jet stream is working in 303 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 2: our favor. It's pushing us forward, making it easier, saving 304 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 2: us time and energy. It's the same principle in life. 305 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 2: When we're positive, hopeful, expecting good things, we're in the 306 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 2: jet stream of Almighty God. Things will be easier, you'll 307 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 2: be more productive, you'll live happier, healthier, see more favor. 308 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 2: But when we're negative, discouraged, everything's a struggle. We're having 309 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 2: to work harder, we're not enjoying life. Pay attention to 310 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 2: what you're thinking. You can't think negative thoughts and live 311 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 2: a positive life. You're going against the flow. If you 312 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 2: go through the day thinking I'll never pass this chemistry test. 313 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 2: I can't stand my job, my marriage is never going 314 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 2: to last, I'll never meet the right person. Your life 315 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 2: is going to follow your thoughts. You're drawing in what 316 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 2: you're continually thinking about, just like a magnet. I can't 317 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 2: pass this test. You're drawn in failure. I'll never meet 318 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 2: the right person, drawing in loneliness. I can't stand my job, 319 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 2: drawn in negativity. I'll never accomplish my dreams, drawn in mediocrity. 320 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 2: Here's the key. Just because a thought comes doesn't mean 321 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 2: that you have to dwell on it. You control the 322 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 2: doorway to your mind. If that thought is negative, discouraging, 323 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 2: pushing you down, dismiss it, don't give it the time 324 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 2: of day, Keep the door closed. Choose to dwell on 325 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 2: thoughts that empower you, inspire you, encourage you, thoughts that 326 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 2: give you joy, faith, victory. If you'll keep your mind 327 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 2: to fill with the right thoughts, there won't be any 328 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 2: room for the wrong thoughts. In other words, all through 329 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 2: the day, something good is going to happen to me. 330 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 2: I'm strong, healthy, talented. I will pass this test. I 331 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 2: will meet the right people. I will overcome this obstacle. 332 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 2: My best days are still out in front of me. 333 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 2: When your mind is filled with thoughts of hope, faith 334 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 2: and victory, you're going to draw in the good things 335 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 2: of God. I read about this lady. She had been 336 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 2: sick for several years, and she'd tried different doctors, but 337 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 2: they couldn't really find out what was wrong with her. 338 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:31,479 Speaker 2: This lady was extremely negative. She's always complaining about how 339 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 2: she would never get well, and just like a magnet, 340 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 2: she kept drawing in more sickness. The battle is taking 341 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 2: place in our minds. What are you dwelling on all day? 342 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 2: That's what you're drawing in. She eventually went to another doctor, 343 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 2: told him how bad she was, how she was never 344 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 2: going to get well. 345 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 3: On and on. 346 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 2: This doctor noticed how negative she was and decided to 347 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 2: give her an unusual prescription. He had never done this. 348 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 2: He said, five or six times an hour. I want 349 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 2: you to say out loud, I'm getting better and better 350 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 2: every day in every way. She thought that was strange, 351 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 2: said doctor, I'm not going to do that. I want 352 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 2: some real medicine. I want a normal prescription. He said, no, 353 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 2: you follow my orders and we'll talk about what's next. 354 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 2: She started doing this fifty sixty times a day, and 355 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 2: before long her attitude began to change. In a few days, 356 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 2: she noticed she was feeling better. In a couple of weeks, 357 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 2: she got her joy back, her strength back. A month later, 358 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 2: she was a different person, all the symptoms had gone. 359 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 2: What happened She changed her thinking and instead of drawing 360 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 2: in sickness, she started drawing in health. Sometimes your body 361 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 2: will not get well until your mind tells it to 362 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 2: get well. You want to accomplish your dreams, thinking I 363 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 2: don't have the talent, the education, the connections, you have 364 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 2: to give yourself permission to accomplish your dreams, permission to 365 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 2: get out of debt, permission to overcome that obstacle. It 366 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 2: starts in our thinking. Studies even tell us that when 367 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 2: we're negative and we think sad discouraging thoughts, our serotonin 368 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 2: level goes down. That causes us to feel sad. It's 369 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 2: not just in our thinking. It starts to affect our moods. 370 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:30,959 Speaker 2: But when we're positive, hopeful, expecting good things, endorphins are 371 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 2: released that causes us to feel happy, to have more energy, 372 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 2: puts a spring in our step. If you go around 373 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 2: thinking I'll never get well, I'm so overweighted, I can't 374 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 2: stand my job. As you think those negative thoughts, your faith, 375 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 2: your energy, your enthusiasm is being drained out of you, 376 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 2: just like a big vacuum. It's pulling out the good 377 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 2: things God has put in you. You'd be amazed at 378 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 2: how much more energy you'd have, how much more put 379 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 2: deductive you'd be, how much better you'd feel if you 380 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 2: just switch over to this positive mindset. You have to 381 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 2: think thoughts on purpose. This is going to be a 382 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 2: good day. Twenty fourteen is going to be my year. 383 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 2: I'm expecting an abundance of favor. Ef Hesian's four puts 384 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 2: it like this. Put on a fresh new attitude. I 385 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: found yesterday's attitude is not good enough for today. Every 386 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 2: morning you have to put on a fresh attitude. I'm 387 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 2: going to choose to be happy today. I'm going to 388 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 2: be good to other people today. I'm going to go 389 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 2: with the flow today, not get upset. When you put 390 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 2: on that fresh new attitude, it's putting you in the 391 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 2: jet stream of God. That's when you'll accomplish things that 392 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 2: you could not accomplish on your own. You will overcome 393 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 2: obstacles that look bigger stronger, more powerful. That's what Daniel did. 394 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 2: The scripture says that he is a person of excellence. 395 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 2: He stood out in the crowd. He was a cut above. 396 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 2: How did he do it? Every morning he got up early, 397 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 2: opened his window and thanked God for the day, thanked 398 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 2: him for his goodness, thanked him that he was well able. 399 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 2: He was putting on a fresh new attitude. He was 400 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 2: setting his mind for victory. 401 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: Now. 402 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 2: As a young man, Daniel was serving a king of 403 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 2: a foreign nation. At one point, this king put out 404 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 2: a decree that for thirty days, no one could pray 405 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 2: to any god except the king's god. If they did, 406 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 2: they would be thrown into a lion's den and killed. Well, 407 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 2: that didn't stop Daniel. He kept on praying to the 408 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 2: God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob. 409 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 2: Some of his enemies told the king. The king was heartbroken. 410 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 2: He loved Daniel, but he had already put out this decree. 411 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 2: He couldn't go back on his word. Daniel said, King, 412 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 2: don't worry. I'll be fine. The God I serve is 413 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 2: well able to deliver me. That's what happens when you 414 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 2: start the day off in faith, thinking thoughts on purpose. 415 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 2: When you face difficulties, you don't fall apart, you don't 416 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 2: get better. Why is this happening to me? You rise 417 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 2: up in faith and say, my God is well able. 418 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 2: I'm armed with strength for this battle. No weapon formed 419 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 2: against me. Willever prosper. The authorities had Daniel thrown into 420 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 2: a den of over one hundred hungry lions. They were 421 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 2: expecting him to be eaten immediately. But when you live 422 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 2: with an attitude of faith, God will fight your battles. 423 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 2: God send an angel to close the mouths of those lions. 424 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 2: The next morning, early the king came to check on Daniel, 425 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 2: saw him lying there asleep, unharmed, refreshed. The king got 426 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 2: him out and said, hey, from now on, we're all 427 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 2: going to worship the God of Daniel. That's the truth 428 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 2: and the living God. It's an interesting thought. In the scripture, 429 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 2: nothing negative is written about Daniel or about Joseph. I'm 430 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 2: sure they made mistakes, but you can't find a record 431 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 2: of anything they did wrong. Other heroes of faith, like Abraham, Moses, David, 432 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 2: the apostle Paul, there are accounts of times where they fell, 433 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 2: where they blew it. This is making the point that 434 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 2: Daniel and Joseph were good people, but they faced bad circumstances. 435 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 2: Unfair things happened to them, they were mistreated, they faced 436 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 2: incredible odds. But if you studied their lives, one common 437 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 2: denominator is they lived with this positive mindset. They had 438 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 2: an attitude of faith. They didn't get bitter, they didn't 439 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 2: make excuses. Every morning. They got their mind going in 440 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 2: the right direction, knowing that our God is well able. 441 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 2: They both saw God's goodness, his favor in amazing ways. Well, 442 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 2: in the same way, you can be a good person 443 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 2: and have bad circumstances. It's easy to get negative and 444 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 2: think I don't understand why my child got sicker, why 445 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 2: I came down with this problem, or why these people 446 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 2: did me wrong. No, dig your heels in and do 447 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 2: like Daniel, get up every morning in the midst of 448 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 2: that battle, look up and say, Lord, thank you for 449 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 2: another great day. Lord. I know you're bigger than this problem, 450 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 2: greater than this sickness, more powerful than my enemies. Father, 451 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 2: thank you that today things are changing in my favor 452 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 2: in difficult times more than ever. Make sure you put 453 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 2: on that fresh new attitude. Make sure you set your 454 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 2: mind for victory. And here's the key. Keep it set. 455 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 2: When those thoughts come telling you it's never gonna work out, 456 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 2: it's been too long, the report is too bad. No 457 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 2: dismiss them and say, like he did. My God is 458 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 2: well able. He's done it for me in the past, 459 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 2: and I know he'll do it for me again in 460 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 2: the future. Here's my challenge to you. Keep your mind 461 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 2: going in the right direction. Learn to think thoughts on purpose. 462 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 2: Something good is going to happen to me. Twenty fourteen 463 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,959 Speaker 2: is my year. Start the day off in faith. If 464 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 2: you'll develop this habit of having a positive mindset, you 465 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 2: cannot be defeated. You'll not only live healthier, happier, have 466 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 2: more energy, but I believe and declare you will accomplish 467 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 2: more than you ever imagined. You will overcome obstacles that 468 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: looked impossible, and you will become everything God's created you 469 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 2: to be. In Jesus' name, if you receive it, can 470 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 2: you say him in today? We never like to close 471 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 2: our broadcast without giving you an opportunity to make Jesus 472 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 2: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 473 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 2: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 474 00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 2: into my heart. I make you my Lord and Savior. Friends, 475 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 2: if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 476 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 2: born again.
