But thanks so much for tuning in, and 48 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 4: thank you again for coming out today. I like to 49 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 4: start with something funny, and I heard about this country couple. 50 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 4: They were celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary and they'd never 51 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 4: had an argument before, not one. Someone asked them the 52 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 4: secret of their success. The husband explained, as they were 53 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 4: leaving the church going on their honeymoon, the wife's horse 54 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 4: refused to go. She got off, looked the horse in 55 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 4: the eyes and said, that's one. He went a little 56 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 4: bit further, stopped again. She got off, looked the horse 57 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 4: in the eyes, said that's two. Went a little bit more, 58 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 4: stopped another time. This time she got off, pulled out 59 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 4: her revolver, and shot the horse dead. Her husband said, 60 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 4: what in the world are you doing. You can't just 61 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 4: shoot an animal. She looked at him and said, honey, 62 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 4: that's one. Hold up your Bible and say it like 63 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 4: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what 64 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 4: it says I am, I have what it says I have. 65 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 4: I can do what it says I can do. Today 66 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 4: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly 67 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 4: confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I 68 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 4: will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 69 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 4: I want to talk to you about having a positive mindset. 70 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 4: Every day we get to choose what kind of attitude 71 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 4: we're going to have. We can choose to be happy, 72 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 4: look on the bright side, expect good things, believe that 73 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 4: our dreams will come to pass. Or we can choose 74 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 4: to be negative, focus on our problems, dwell on what 75 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 4: didn't work out, lived worried, and discouraged. It's a choice 76 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 4: that we all make. Nobody can force you to have 77 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 4: a certain attitude. Life will go so much better if 78 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 4: you will simply choose to be positive when you wake 79 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 4: up in the morning. Choose to be happy, Choose to 80 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 4: be grateful for the day, Choose to focus on your possibilities. 81 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 4: A good attitude doesn't automatically come. If you don't make 82 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 4: this choice, most likely you will default back to a 83 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,119 Speaker 4: negative mindset, thinking I don't feel like going to work, 84 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 4: I've got so many obstacles, nothing good ever happens to me. 85 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 4: The problem is a negative attitude will limit your life. 86 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 4: We all face difficulties, we all have tough times, But 87 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 4: the right attitude is this didn't come to stay. It 88 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 4: came to pass. It's only temporary. Maybe you didn't get 89 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 4: the promotion you were hoping for. You could easily be sour. 90 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 4: Now that's all right, I know God has something better 91 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 4: in store. You got caught in traffic. I'm not going 92 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 4: to be stressed. I know I'm at the right place 93 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 4: at the right time. God is directing my steps. Perhaps 94 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 4: the medical report wasn't good, I'm not worried. God has 95 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 4: me in the palm of his hand, the number of 96 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 4: my days he's promised to fulfill. Or maybe it's that 97 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 4: your dream is taking longer than you thought. But that's 98 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 4: all right. I know the right people, the right opportunities 99 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 4: are already in my future at the right time. It 100 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 4: will come to pass. When you live with this positive mindset, 101 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 4: you can't be defeated. No matter what comes your way, 102 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 4: you shake it off and move forward. It's like a 103 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,239 Speaker 4: little boy I heard about. He had a baseball bat 104 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 4: and a ball. He said to himself, I'm the best 105 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 4: hitter in all the world. He threw the ball up, 106 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 4: swung at it and missed, picked it up, straightened his hat, 107 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 4: said it again, I'm the best hitter in all the world. 108 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 4: Threw the ball up a second time, swung away and 109 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 4: missed again. This time he said it even more determined, 110 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 4: I'm the best hitter in all the world. He threw 111 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 4: the ball up the third time, concentrated, swung away, but 112 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 4: he missed it the third time, laid the bat down, 113 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 4: smile real big said, what do you know, I'm the 114 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 4: best picture in all the world. Stay positive, learn to 115 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 4: focus on the bright side, see the silver lining in 116 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 4: every cloud. A lot of people use the excuse I'm 117 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 4: negative because I've had negative things happen to me, my 118 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 4: business didn't make it, a friend did me wrong, or Joel, 119 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 4: I'm dealing with this sickness. That's why I'm sour now. 120 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 4: The truth is, it's not our circumstances that make us negative, 121 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 4: it's our attitude toward those circumstances. You can take twenty 122 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 4: positive people and twenty negative people and give them the 123 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 4: same problem, put them on the same job, the same family, 124 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 4: the same house, and the positive people will come out 125 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 4: just as positive, with a great attitude, as happy as 126 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 4: they were before. The negative just as negative. Same problem, 127 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 4: exact circumstances, two different outcomes. What's the difference their attitude? 128 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 4: Positive people have made up their mind to enjoy their lives. 129 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 4: They focus on the possibilities, not the problems. They're grateful 130 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 4: for what they have, not complaining about what they don't have. 131 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 4: Positive people know that God is in control and that 132 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 4: nothing happens without his permission. They choose to bloom where 133 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 4: they're planet. They don't wait for the situation to change, 134 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 4: and then they're going to be happy. They're happy while 135 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 4: God is changing the situation. And when you're positive, you 136 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 4: are passing the test. You're saying God, I trust you, 137 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 4: I know you're fighting my battles for me. And I've 138 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 4: learned if you don't get happy where you are, you 139 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 4: probably will never get to where you want to be. 140 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 4: Don't wait for everything to work out. Then you're going 141 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 4: to have a good attitude. Have a good attitude now, 142 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 4: then God can begin to change this situation. And let's 143 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 4: keep the right perspective. Some people would love to have 144 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 4: our problems. They would gladly trade places with you. They 145 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 4: would love to have that job that has you frustrated. 146 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 4: They would love to sit in traffic in that car 147 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 4: you don't like. They would love to have your husband 148 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 4: that gets on your nerves. Some of you are thinking, 149 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 4: can I give you a phone number real quick. They 150 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 4: would love to live in that house that you think 151 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 4: is too small. And as soon as I get into 152 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 4: this new neighborhood, then I'll be happy. Now, why don't 153 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 4: you choose to be happy right where you are? Why 154 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 4: don't you decide to have a good attitude with what 155 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 4: you have or with what you don't have. It's all 156 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 4: in our approach to life. One man gets up and says, 157 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 4: good morning, lord. Another man gets up and says, good lord, 158 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 4: it's mourning. Which man are you? You control what kind 159 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 4: of day you're going to have. You're as happy as 160 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 4: you want to be. And a lot of times we're 161 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 4: making ourselves unhappy. We can't control the weather, the traffic, 162 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 4: how people treat us. If our happiness is based on 163 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 4: everything going our way, everybody treating us right, we're going 164 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 4: to live frustrated. Before you leave the house, you need 165 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,239 Speaker 4: to make up your mind. You're going to stay positive 166 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 4: and enjoy the day, no matter what comes your way. 167 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 4: You have to decide ahead of time. That's what it 168 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 4: says in Colossians three. Set your mind on higher things 169 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 4: and keep it set. The higher things are positive things. 170 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 4: When you wake up in the morning. You need to 171 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 4: set your mind for victory, set your mind for success. 172 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 4: Our attitude should be this is going to be a 173 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 4: great day. God's favor is on my life. I'm excited 174 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 4: about my future. When your mind is set positive, hopeful, 175 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 4: expecting good things, that's when you'll go places that you've 176 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 4: never dreamed. New doors will open, the right people, the 177 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 4: right opportunities will come across your path. But if you 178 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 4: don't set your mind, negative thoughts will set it for you. 179 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 4: You cannot start the day off in neutral. If you're passive, 180 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 4: lying in bed, the thoughts will come. You're never going 181 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 4: to accomplish your dreams. Nothing good happens to you. You'll 182 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 4: never get married, you're too old, you'll never get well, 183 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 4: you'll never get out of debt. You may not realize it, 184 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 4: but that's setting the tone for defeat, for failure, for 185 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 4: a lousy day. Right at the start, get your mind 186 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 4: going in the right direction. This is the reason why 187 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 4: some people don't have the energy they should, the passion, 188 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 4: the enthusiasm, the vision. Their mind is set in the negative. 189 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 4: It's been that way so long. They don't know any better. 190 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 4: It's normal to them. They go out expecting problems bad breaks, 191 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 4: to not be treated right to early get by. They 192 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 4: live by Murphy's law. It says, if anything can go wrong, 193 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 4: it will, and at the worst possible time, things will 194 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 4: take longer than they look. Everything will be harder than 195 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 4: it seems. Because they haven't set their minds. They go 196 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,079 Speaker 4: out expecting the negative. They wonder why they can't get 197 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 4: ahead and why everything's a struggle. It's because their mind 198 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 4: has been set by default for defeat, for failure, for 199 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 4: bad breaks. You've got to change your outlook. You are 200 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 4: a child of the most high God. You are never 201 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 4: created to live an average get by short into the 202 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 4: stick life. You are created to be the head and 203 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 4: not the tail, to lend and not borrow, to reign 204 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,479 Speaker 4: in life as a king. That means you have royalty 205 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 4: in your blood. Winning is in your DNA. Now get 206 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 4: rid of a negative mentality and set your mind for victory. 207 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 4: Set your mind for increase, Set your mind for good branks. 208 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 4: Start expecting your plans to work out. Expect people to 209 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 4: be good to you, Expect to have a productive day, 210 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 4: and if it doesn't happen, don't fall back into that old, negative, 211 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 4: defeated mentality. Ah I knew this wouldn't work for me, Joel. 212 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 4: It always takes me longer than everybody else. I can 213 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,599 Speaker 4: never find a parking spot. Nobody treats me right. No, 214 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 4: you're not a victim. You are a victor. You wouldn't 215 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 4: have that opposition if there wasn't something amazing in your future. Now, 216 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 4: keep a smile on your face, keep a spring in 217 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 4: your steps, stay positive, stay hopeful. God is still on 218 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 4: the throne. You may have had a lot of unfair, 219 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 4: negative things happen in the past, but don't let that 220 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 4: become a stronghold, a pattern to where you think that's 221 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 4: all there will ever be. You live with a negative mindset. Now, 222 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 4: if God were to show you all he has planned 223 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 4: for you, it would boggle your mind. If you could 224 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 4: see the doors he's going to open, the people he's 225 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 4: going to bring across your path, the opportunities that are 226 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 4: going to show up, you'd be amazed, excited, passionate. It 227 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 4: would be easy to set your mind for victory. This 228 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 4: is what faith is all about. You have to believe 229 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 4: it before you see it. Right now, God's favor is 230 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 4: surrounding you like a shield. Every setback was a set 231 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 4: up for a greater comeback. Every disappointment, every bad break, 232 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 4: every person that did you wrong, was a part of 233 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 4: the plan to get you to where you're supposed to be. Now, 234 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 4: don't fall into that negative mentality, complacent, just taking whatever 235 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 4: life comes your way. Now, set your mind for victory, 236 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 4: for success, for new levels. Enlarge your vision. Make room 237 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 4: for God to do something new. You haven't touched the 238 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 4: surface of what he has in store. I was talking 239 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 4: to a reporter one time, and I could tell he 240 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 4: didn't like the fact that my message is very positive 241 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 4: and very hopeful. He asked what I would tell a 242 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 4: person that had lost their job and didn't have any family, 243 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 4: and they were about to lose their house and had 244 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 4: nowhere to go, and had a child that was sick 245 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 4: and needed treatment, on and on. He painted the worst 246 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 4: possible situation. I said, I would tell them number one 247 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 4: to get up and find something to be grateful for, 248 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 4: and number two go out, expecting it to turn around, 249 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 4: expecting new doors to open, expecting a breakthrough. Proverbs says 250 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 4: when darkness overtakes, the righteous light will come bursting in. 251 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 4: And when it's dark, when you don't see a way out, 252 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 4: you're in prime position for favor to come bursting in. 253 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 4: He said, all Joe, wouldn't that just be giving them 254 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 4: false hope. Well, here's the alternative. I could tell this 255 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 4: to be negative, get bitter, give up on your dreams, 256 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 4: be depressed, start complaining. All that's going to do is 257 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 4: make matters worse. You may be in a difficult time, 258 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 4: but you have to dig your heels in and say, 259 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 4: I refuse to live my life negative. I refuse to 260 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 4: give up on my dreams. I refuse to go through 261 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 4: life with no passion. I may not see away, but 262 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 4: I know God has a way. It may be dark, 263 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 4: but I'm expecting the light to come bursting in. I'm 264 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 4: setting my mind for victory. That's what allows the creator 265 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 4: of the universe to show up and do amazing things. 266 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 4: And it's not just mind over matter. It's not just 267 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 4: a positive attitude. It's your faith being released when you believe, 268 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 4: it gets God's attention. When you go out expecting things 269 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 4: to turn around, expecting dreams to come to pass, expecting health, wholeness, 270 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 4: favor divine connections, than almighty God goes to work. You 271 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 4: may have had a thousand bad breaks in the past, 272 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 4: but don't use that as an excuse to be negative. 273 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 4: One good break can make up for all those bad breaks. 274 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 4: One touch of God's favor can catapult you further than 275 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 4: you ever imagined. Maybe you feel like you're falling behind. 276 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 4: You're not where you should be in life. Don't worry. 277 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 4: God knows how to make up for lost time. He 278 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 4: knows how to accelerate things. Now do your part and 279 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 4: shake off a negative mentality, shake off pessimism, self pity, discouragement, 280 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 4: and get your fire back. Life is flying by. You 281 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 4: don't have time to waste another day being negative. You 282 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 4: have a destiny to fulfill, You have an assignment to accomplish. 283 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 4: What's in your future is greater than anything you've seen 284 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 4: in the past. We need to get rid of the 285 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 4: old Murphy's law and live by just the opposite. If 286 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 4: anything good can happen today, it can happen to you 287 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 4: and me. It's gonna be easier than it seems. It's 288 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 4: not gonna take as long as it looks. Why you've 289 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 4: been highly favored. Almighty God is breathing in your direction. 290 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 4: You are equipped, empowered, and anointed. Hey, you said joy, 291 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 4: You're just getting people's hopes up. You're just trying to 292 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 4: get us to live positive. Yes, And here's why God 293 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 4: is a positive god. There is nothing negative about him. 294 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 4: If you're negative, sour, discourage, you are going against the 295 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 4: flow of God. When we travel from Houston to Los 296 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 4: Angeles on a plane, it always takes us thirty minutes 297 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 4: longer to get there than it does to come back home. 298 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 4: It's because the jet stream flows from west to east. 299 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 4: When we're traveling there, there's a large, massive air that's 300 00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 4: always blowing against us, slowing us down. Has to work harder, 301 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 4: use more fuel, spend more energy. But when we're coming 302 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 4: back home, of course, it's just the opposite. The jet 303 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,719 Speaker 4: stream is working in our favor. It's pushing us forward, 304 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 4: making it easier, saving us time and energy. It's the 305 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 4: same principle in life. When we're positive, hopeful, expecting good things, 306 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 4: we're in the jet stream of Almighty God. Things will 307 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 4: be easier, you'll be more productive, you'll live happier, healthier, 308 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 4: see more favor. But when we're negative, discouraged, everything's a struggle. 309 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 4: We're having to work harder, we're not enjoying life. Pay 310 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 4: attention to what you're thinking. You can't think negative thoughts 311 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 4: and live a positive life. You're going against the flow. 312 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 4: If you go through the day thinking, I'll never pass 313 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 4: this chemistry test. I can't stand my job, my marriage 314 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 4: is never going to last, I'll never meet the right person. 315 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 4: Your life is going to follow your thoughts. You're drawing 316 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 4: in what you're continually thinking about, just like a magnet. 317 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 4: I can't pass this test. You're drawn in failure. I'll 318 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 4: never meet the right person, drawing in loneliness. I can't 319 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 4: stand my job, drawn in negativity, I'll never accomplish my dreams, 320 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 4: drawn in mediocrity. Here's the key. Just because a thought 321 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 4: comes doesn't mean that you have to dwell on it. 322 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 4: You control the doorway to your mind. If that thought 323 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 4: is negative, discouraging, pushing you down, dismiss it, don't give 324 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,479 Speaker 4: it the time of day, Keep the door closed. Choose 325 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 4: to dwell on thoughts that empower you, inspire you, encourage you, 326 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 4: thoughts that give you joy, faith, victory. If you'll keep 327 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 4: your mind to fill with the right thoughts, there won't 328 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 4: be any room for the wrong thoughts. In other words, 329 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 4: all through the day, some than good is going to 330 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 4: happen to me. I'm strong, healthy, talented. I will pass 331 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 4: this test. I will meet the right people. I will 332 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 4: overcome this obstacle. My best days are still out in 333 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 4: front of me. When your mind is filled with thoughts 334 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 4: of hope, faith and victory, you're going to draw in 335 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 4: the good things of God. I read about this lady. 336 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 4: She had been sick for several years, and she'd tried 337 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 4: different doctors, but they couldn't really find out what was 338 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 4: wrong with her. This lady was extremely negative. She's always 339 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 4: complaining about how she would never get well, and just 340 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 4: like a magnet, she kept drawing in more sickness. The 341 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 4: battle is taking place in our minds. What are you 342 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 4: dwelling on all day? That's what you're drawing in. She 343 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 4: eventually went to another doctor, told him how bad she was, 344 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 4: how she was never going to get well. On and on. 345 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 4: This doctor noticed how negative she was and decided to 346 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 4: give her an unusual prescription. He had never done this. 347 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 4: He said, five or six times an hour. I want 348 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 4: you to say out loud, I'm getting better and better 349 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 4: every day in every way. She thought that was strange, 350 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 4: said doctor, I'm not going to do that. I want 351 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 4: some real medicine. I want a normal prescription. He said, no, 352 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 4: you follow my orders and we'll talk about what's next. 353 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 4: She started doing this fifty sixty times a day, and 354 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 4: before long her attitude began to change. In a few days, 355 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 4: she noticed she was feeling better. In a couple of weeks, 356 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 4: she got her joy back, her strength back. A month later, 357 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 4: she was a different person, all the symptoms had gone. 358 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 4: What happened She changed her thinking and instead of drawing 359 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 4: in sickness, she started drawing in health. Sometimes your body 360 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 4: will not get well until your mind tells it to 361 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 4: get well. You want to accomplish your dreams, thinking I 362 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,959 Speaker 4: don't have the talent, the education, the connections. You have 363 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 4: to give yourself permission to accomplish your dreams, permission to 364 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 4: get out of debt, permission to overcome that obstacle. It 365 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 4: starts in our thinking. Studies even tell us that when 366 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 4: we're negative, we think sad, discouraging thoughts. Our serotonin level 367 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 4: goes down. That causes us to feel sad. It's not 368 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 4: just in our thinking. It starts to affect our moods. 369 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 4: But when we're positive, hopeful, expecting good things, endorphins are 370 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 4: released that causes us to feel happy, to have more energy, 371 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 4: puts a spring in our step. If you go around 372 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 4: thinking I'll never get well. I'm so overweighted. I can't 373 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 4: stand my job. As you think those negative thoughts, your faith, 374 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 4: your energy, your enthusiasm is being drained out of you, 375 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 4: just like a big vacuum. It's pulling out the good 376 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 4: things God has put in you. You'd be amazed how 377 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 4: much more energy you'd have, how much more productive you'd be, 378 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 4: how much better you'd feel if you just switch over 379 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 4: to this positive mindset. You have to think thoughts on purpose. 380 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 4: This is going to be a good day. Twenty fourteen 381 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 4: is going to be my year. I'm expecting an abundance 382 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 4: of favor. If Esians four puts it like this, put 383 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 4: on a fresh new attitude. I found yesterday's attitude is 384 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 4: not good enough for today. Every morning you have to 385 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 4: put on a fresh attitude. I'm gonna choose to be 386 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 4: happy today. I'm going to be good to other people today. 387 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 4: I'm going to go with the flow today, not get upset. 388 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 4: When you put on that fresh new attitude, it's putting 389 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 4: you in the jet stream of God. That's when you'll 390 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 4: accomplish things that you could not accomplish on your own. 391 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 4: You will overcome obstacles that look bigger stronger, more powerful. 392 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 4: What Daniel did The scripture says that he was a 393 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 4: person of excellence. He stood out in the crowd. He 394 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 4: was a cut above. How did he do it? Every 395 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 4: morning he got up early, opened his window and thanked 396 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 4: God for the day, thanked him for his goodness, thanked 397 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 4: him that he was well able. He was putting on 398 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 4: a fresh new attitude. He was setting his mind for victory. Now. 399 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 4: As a young man, Daniel was serving a king of 400 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,719 Speaker 4: a foreign nation. At one point, this king put out 401 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 4: a decree that for thirty days, no one could pray 402 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 4: to any god except the king's god. If they did, 403 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 4: they would be thrown into a lion's den and killed. Well, 404 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 4: that didn't stop Daniel. He kept on praying to the 405 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 4: God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob. 406 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 4: Some of his enemies told the king. The king was heartbroken. 407 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 4: He loved Daniel, but he had already put out this decree. 408 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 4: He couldn't go back on his word. Daniel said, King, 409 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 4: don't worry. I'll be fine. The God I serve is 410 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 4: well able to deliver me. That's what happens when you 411 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 4: start the day off in faith, thinking thoughts on purpose, 412 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 4: when you face difficulties, you don't fall apart, you don't 413 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 4: get better. Why is this happening to me? You rise 414 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 4: up in faith and say, my God is well able. 415 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 4: I'm armed with strength for this battle. No weapon formed 416 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 4: against me will ever prosper. The authorities had Daniel thrown 417 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 4: into a den of over one hundred hungry lions. They 418 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 4: were expecting him to be eaten immediately. But when you 419 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 4: live with an attitude of faith, God will fight your battles. 420 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 4: God send an angel to close the mouths of those lions. 421 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 4: The next morning, early the king came to check on Daniel, 422 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 4: saw him lying there asleep, unharmed, refreshed. The king got 423 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 4: him out and said, hey, from now on, we're all 424 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 4: going to worship the God of Daniel's te true and 425 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 4: the living God. Here's an interesting thought in the scripture. 426 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 4: Nothing negative is written about Daniel or about Joseph. I'm 427 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 4: sure they made mistakes, but you can't find a record 428 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 4: of anything they did wrong. Other heroes of faith, like Abraham, Moses, David, 429 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 4: the apostle Paul, there are accounts of times where they fell, 430 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 4: where they blew it. This is making the point that 431 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 4: Daniel and Joseph were good people, but they faced bad circumstances. 432 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 4: Unfair things happened to them, they were mistreated, they faced 433 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 4: incredible odds. But if you studied their lives, one common 434 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 4: denominator is they lived with this positive mindset. They had 435 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 4: an attitude of faith. They didn't get bitter, they didn't 436 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 4: make excuses. Every morning, they got their mind going in 437 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 4: the right direction, knowing that our God is well able. 438 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 4: They both saw God's goodness, his favor in amazing ways. Well, 439 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 4: in the same way, you can be a good person 440 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 4: and have bad circumstances. It's easy to get negative and 441 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 4: think I don't understand why my child got sicker, why 442 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 4: I came down with this problem, or why these people 443 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 4: did me wrong. No, dig your heels in and do 444 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 4: like Daniel, get up every morning in the midst of 445 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 4: that battle, look up and say, Lord, thank you for 446 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 4: another great day. Lord. I know you're bigger than this problem, 447 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 4: greater than this sickness, more powerful than my enemies. Father, 448 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 4: thank you that today things are changing in my favor 449 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 4: in difficult times more than ever. Make sure you put 450 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 4: on that fresh new attitude, make sure you set your 451 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 4: mind for victory. And here's the key. Keep it set. 452 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 4: When those thoughts come telling you it's never gonna work out, 453 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 4: it's been too long, the report is too bad. No 454 00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 4: dismiss them and say, like he did. My God is able. 455 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,959 Speaker 4: He's done it for me in the past, and I 456 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 4: know he'll do it for me again in the future. 457 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 4: Here's my challenge to you. Keep your mind going in 458 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 4: the right direction. Learn to think thoughts on purpose. Something 459 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 4: good is going to happen to me. Twenty fourteen is 460 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 4: my year. Start the day off in faith. If you'll 461 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 4: develop this habit of having a positive mindset, you cannot 462 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 4: be defeated. You'll not only live healthier, happier, have more energy. 463 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 4: But I believe and declare you will accomplish more than 464 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 4: you ever imagined. You will overcome obstacles that looked impossible, 465 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 4: and you will become everything God's created you to be. 466 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 4: In Jesus' name, if you receive it, can you say 467 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 4: him in today? We never like to close our broadcast 468 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 4: without giving you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord 469 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 4: of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, 470 00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 4: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I 471 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 4: make you my Lord and Savior. Friends, if you prayed 472 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 4: that simple prayer, we believe you got born again.
