They were bragging on 51 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 6: their sons. The first one said, my son is a priest. 52 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 6: When he walks in the room, everyone calls him father. 53 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 6: The second one said, my son is a bishop. When 54 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 6: he walks in the room, everyone calls him your grace. 55 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 6: The third one said, my son is a cardinal. When 56 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 6: he walks in, everyone calls him your eminence. The fourth 57 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,399 Speaker 6: lady said, my son is six foot three, has broad shoulders, 58 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 6: is incredibly handsome, and dresses impeccably well. 59 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 4: When he walks in the room, all. 60 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 6: The ladies say, oh, my God, say it like you 61 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 6: mean it. 62 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says. 63 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 6: I am. I have what it says I have. I 64 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 6: can do what it says I can do. Today I 65 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 6: will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess. 66 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 6: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 67 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 6: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 68 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 6: I want to talk to you today about a fresh 69 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 6: new attitude. Studies show that your attitude can have a 70 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 6: greater impact on your success than your IQ. You can 71 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 6: be extremely talented, have incredible potential, But if you don't 72 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 6: have the right attitude, it will keep you from rising higher. 73 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 6: And we spend all kinds of time and money making 74 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 6: sure the outside looks good, eating right, working out, wearing 75 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 6: the latest fashions, and that's all fine, but too often 76 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 6: we're not spending any time on the inside. Nice clothes 77 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 6: won't cover up a bad attitude. A pretty face, perfect 78 00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 6: makeup won't hide being bitter on the inside. In high school, 79 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 6: this new girl moved into town, and she was very beautiful, 80 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 6: very attractive, and I was shy, never had the nerve 81 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 6: to talk to her. But our senior year, we had 82 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 6: a class together. The seating was assigned. It just so 83 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 6: happened I was sitting right next to her. I thought 84 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 6: I had died and gone to heaven. The first time 85 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 6: I sat by her, I turned just being friendly and. 86 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 4: Said hello, nothing more. 87 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 6: She looked at me like I had just insulted her, 88 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 6: like she was totally offended. She looked away and never 89 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 6: said a word. 90 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 4: To me the whole semester. 91 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 6: She was beautiful on the outside, but can I tell 92 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 6: you she was ugly on the inside. I never saw 93 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 6: her the same way. A bad attitude makes you unattractive. 94 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 6: It overrides what's on the outside. It's important to look good, 95 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 6: to develop your skills to get an education, but it's 96 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 6: even more important to keep. 97 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 4: A good attitude. 98 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 6: Nobody wants to be around a sour, critical, condescending person. 99 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 6: Colossians three, in the Message translation says, dress in the 100 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 6: wardrobe God picked out for you kindness, compassion. 101 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 4: And humility. 102 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 6: As parents, sometimes we pick out clothes for our children 103 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 6: to wear. Our heavenly father has picked out something for 104 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 6: us all to wear. Kindness, being good to people, being 105 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 6: pleasant to be around. When you're kind, you draw people 106 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 6: to you. When your good natured, friendly, opportunity will come 107 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 6: your way. People want to do business with people that 108 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 6: they like. When we're hiring someone, their resume tells us 109 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 6: what they can do, what their skills are, but we 110 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 6: always meet with them to see what their attitude is. 111 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 6: Are they positive? Are they friendly? 112 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 4: Kind? 113 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 6: And consider it? We can find someone else with the 114 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 6: same skills. The real question is do they have the 115 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 6: attitude that's going to take us higher. They may be gifted, 116 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 6: but a negative attitude will pull. 117 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 4: The team down. 118 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 6: Your attitude is going to determine your altitude. It will 119 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 6: determine how high or how. 120 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 4: Low you go. 121 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 6: Well, Joel, I've always been kind of negative, critical, condescending. 122 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 6: That's just who I am. No, that's who you're choosing 123 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 6: to be. 124 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 4: That's not who you are. 125 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 6: That may be how you were raised, that's what you 126 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 6: saw growing up, but that's not how you have to stay. 127 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 6: Try being kind, friendly, good natured. You'll not only enjoy 128 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 6: life more, but you'll go further. On an airplane, there's 129 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 6: an instrument called an attitude indicator. It shows how level 130 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 6: the plane is on the horizon. Wants to ascend, he 131 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 6: tilts the plane knows high. 132 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 4: If he wants to descend, he tilts it nose down. 133 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 6: It's the same principle in life. If you have a 134 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 6: nose high attitude, if you're positive, you see the best, 135 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 6: you're kind of people, you have a smile. Because your 136 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 6: nose high. 137 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 4: You're going to continue to rise higher. You're going to 138 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 4: see God's blessings and favor. 139 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 6: But if your sour hard to get along with, you 140 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 6: don't want to go to work bitter over disappointments. Because 141 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 6: you have a nose down attitude, your life is going 142 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 6: to go that direction. And sometimes we're discouraged over what 143 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 6: we brought on ourselves. It's not the enemy, it's our attitude. 144 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 6: The good news is all you have to do is 145 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 6: make an attitude adjustment. 146 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 4: It's not complicated. 147 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 6: You can't change other people, you can't change how you 148 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 6: were raised. A lot in life we can't control. But 149 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 6: one thing we can all control is our attitude. Am 150 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 6: I going to live this day negative, sour, seeing the 151 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 6: wrong chip on my shoulder? Or am I going to 152 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 6: live it in faith, positive, hopeful, seeing the best, being 153 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 6: good to people. This is a choice that we have 154 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 6: to make every day. If you're going to have a 155 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 6: good attitude, you have to do it on purpose, because 156 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 6: there will be all kinds of negative things that try 157 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 6: to creep in bitterness, discouragement, self pity. If you're not proactive, 158 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 6: if you don't choose the right attitude, then the wrong 159 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 6: attitude will show up. When a pilot makes a small tweak, 160 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 6: the plane can be leveled, but when he tilts it 161 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 6: just a little nose high, in a half an hour, 162 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 6: the plane will have climbed thousands of feet in the air. 163 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 6: I wonder what would happen in your life if you 164 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 6: would make a small tweak instead of going to work sour, 165 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 6: dreading the day, feeling unappreciated, you would show up with 166 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 6: a smile, grateful to have the job, knowing that you're 167 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 6: not working under people, You're working under God, that he's 168 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 6: keeping the records. 169 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 4: That's what allows God to change things. 170 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 6: What would happen in your marriage, your relationships if you'd make. 171 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 4: A small attitude adjustment. 172 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 6: Instead of being contentious, hard to get along with, you'd 173 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 6: start being friendly, loving, respectful. Instead of saying harsh critical words, 174 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 6: you'd start giving compliments, telling your spouse how much you 175 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 6: love them, how blessed you are to have them in 176 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 6: your life. Just a small adjustment, getting your attitude a 177 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 6: little higher. Watch those relationships begin to improve. Or maybe 178 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 6: you've had bad breaks. Life hasn't treated you fair and 179 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 6: it's easy to get sour. Go around with the chip 180 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 6: on our shoulder, focus on what's wrong. That's a nose 181 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 6: down attitude. You're choosing the direction you're going to go. 182 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 6: Why don't you tilt it a little nose high. Yes 183 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 6: it was unfair, but I know God is my vindicator. 184 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 6: I know God is fighting my battles. God promised to 185 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 6: pay me back double for the unfair things that have happened. 186 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 6: You keep that up and you'll see God make up 187 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 6: for the wrongs. 188 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 4: That's what Joseph did. 189 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 6: He was betrayed by his family, falsely accused, put in 190 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,479 Speaker 6: prison for something he didn't do. For years, he was mistreated. 191 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 6: It wasn't fair. But you never read where Joseph complained, 192 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 6: where he got bitter, where he slacked off. Despite all 193 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 6: the bad breaks, Joseph kept a nose high attitude. Thirteen 194 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 6: years later, God vindicated him. Maybe of the prime Minister 195 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 6: of Egypt. And what you're facing may not be fair. 196 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 6: People may not be treating you right. 197 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 4: It's a test. 198 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 6: God wants to see what are you going to do 199 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 6: in the difficult times. Too many people go nose down. 200 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 6: Their attitude keeps them from seeing justice and vindication. But 201 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 6: if you'll do like Joseph and stay knows high. 202 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 4: Keep doing the right thing, keep. 203 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 6: Being good to people when they're not being good to you, 204 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 6: keep that song of praise in your heart. That's not 205 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 6: just being positive, that's an attitude of faith. 206 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 4: That's what allows God to show out in your life. 207 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 6: And the Scripture says put on a garment of praise 208 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 6: for a spirit of heaviness, a garment is like a coat. 209 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 6: But before you can put on a code of praise, 210 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 6: you have to first take off a code of heaviness. 211 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 6: And sometimes we wonder why we don't have joy, why 212 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 6: everything's a burden, why we don't have any passion. It's 213 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 6: because we're wearing the wrong coat, enjoying nothing good. As 214 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 6: in my future, I never get any breaks. Let me 215 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 6: give you a fashion tip. That coat of heaviness. 216 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 4: Doesn't look good on you. That code of. 217 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 6: Self pity is way out of style. 218 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 4: That code of. 219 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 6: Bitterness, what you didn't get, who left you, doesn't fit 220 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 6: you anymore. It's restricting you. You've stepped into a new season. 221 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 6: Now do your part. Take off the coat of heaviness 222 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 6: and put on a code of praise. Father, Thank you 223 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 6: that your plans for me are for good. Thank you 224 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 6: that what you started in my life you're going to finish. 225 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 6: Thank you that I haven't seen my best days. If 226 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 6: you're going to go up like that airplane, you have 227 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 6: to get your nose up. 228 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 4: You have to make an. 229 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 6: Adjustment in your attitude. You cannot have a defeated mentality and. 230 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 4: Live a Victoria life. 231 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 6: Paul said in Ephesians four, be constantly renewed in the 232 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 6: spirit of your mind, putting on a fresh mental and 233 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 6: spiritual attitude. He was saying, every day we need to 234 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 6: put on a fresh new attitude. You know why, yesterday's 235 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 6: attitude will get old. If you don't start afresh and anew, 236 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 6: then you'll bring all the negative from yesterday into today. 237 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 6: If you do that week after week, month after month, 238 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 6: before long, you'll be negative, discouraged. 239 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 4: Finding fault. I can't stand my job, Joel. 240 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 6: Traffic is so bad, my house is too small. 241 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 4: I'll never get well. 242 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 6: You know what, that is an old attitude. Some people 243 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 6: have not put on a new attitude for years and years. 244 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 6: They wonder why everything's a burden, why it's so heavy. 245 00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 6: It's their attitude. Every morning, when you wake up, you 246 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 6: need to say, Father, thank you for this day. Thank 247 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 6: you that you woke me up, thank you that you 248 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 6: gave me air to breathe, thank you that you surrounded 249 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 6: me with favor. I'm grateful to be alive. I'm grateful 250 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 6: for my family. I'm grateful for opportunities. Lord, I'm gonna 251 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 6: live this day to the full. That's putting on a 252 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 6: fresh new attitude. You wipe the slate clean. You let 253 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 6: go of yesterday's disappointments, what didn't work out. You get 254 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 6: your mind going in the right direction. I'm going to 255 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 6: see the good today. I'm going to be kind to somebody. 256 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 6: I'm going to stay in faith and enjoy this day. 257 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 6: Imagine if you wore the same clothes for thirty years, 258 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 6: never took them off, you didn't wash them, didn't clean them. 259 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 6: They would stink, they would be dirty. Nobody'd want to 260 00:14:54,760 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 6: be around you. That's what an old attitude does. Attitude 261 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 6: pushes people away. A sour attitude will keep you from 262 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 6: being promoted. A stinking attitude will stop dreams. 263 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 4: From coming to pass. 264 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 6: I knew this man that was always finding fault with 265 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 6: his employer. He was constantly bucking the system and challenging 266 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 6: the policies. The management was very good to him. Other 267 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 6: people in the department, they loved the company, but he 268 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 6: always found something to complain about. They had to be 269 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 6: at work at eight in the morning. They parked in 270 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 6: a big garage and had to walk. His attitude was 271 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 6: as long as he was on the property at eight, 272 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 6: that he was there on time. They couldn't do anything 273 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 6: about it. Well, nobody else thought that, but he kept 274 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 6: doing it his way, being contentious. Several years later he 275 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 6: was let go. He lost a prominent position. He went 276 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 6: to work for another company and did the same thing. 277 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 6: He kept challenging the policies, being hard to get along with. 278 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 6: One day I heard this man had not only been fired, 279 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 6: but security was escorting him out of the building. 280 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 4: He wasn't even allowed back on the property. What am 281 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 4: I saying? 282 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 6: A bad attitude will follow you around. You can change jobs. 283 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 6: Think other people are the problem, but sometimes we have 284 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 6: to look inside and see if we're the problem. Do 285 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 6: I have a sour attitude? Am I being hard to 286 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 6: get along with? Am I focused on the negative? Being critical? 287 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 6: This man was talented, he was smart, had a big 288 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 6: future in front of him, but he lived nosed down. 289 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 6: His attitude took him in the wrong direction. It wasn't 290 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 6: something big. A simple adjustment and it would be a 291 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 6: different story. He would be at another level. What direction 292 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 6: is your attitude taking you? 293 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 4: In your marriage? In your relationships? 294 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 6: Are respectful fun to be around in your career? Are 295 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 6: you positive being your best helping others? Or do you 296 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 6: need to make an adjustment? Don't wait till it's too late, 297 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 6: Till the relationship comes to an end till the company 298 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 6: says they don't need you anymore. 299 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 4: Make the changes now. 300 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 6: Get rid of anything you know that's holding you back, 301 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,719 Speaker 6: being negative, finding fault. 302 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 4: That old attitude doesn't smell good. 303 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 6: It's going to taint you everywhere you go. This couple 304 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 6: moved into a new neighborhood, and one morning, while they 305 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 6: were eating breakfast, the lady looked out the window and 306 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 6: saw her neighbor hanging the wash on the line to drive, 307 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 6: and she noticed the wash was so dirty and so dingy. 308 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 6: She said to her husband that neighbor doesn't know how 309 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 6: to wash. The clothes aren't clean. She must not even 310 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 6: use detergent. Week after week she looked out this window 311 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 6: and so all the clothes and made the same comments 312 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 6: about how dirty the laundry was. One morning, she looked 313 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 6: out the window and the clothes were as clean and 314 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 6: bright as could be. She couldn't believe it. She called 315 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 6: her husband in said, look, she finally learned how to wash. 316 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 4: I wonder what happened. 317 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 6: The husband smiled and said, honey, I got up early 318 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 6: this morning and cleaned our windows. The problem wasn't that 319 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 6: the neighbor's laundry was so dirty. The problem was the 320 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 6: window the lady was looking out was not clean. Many times, 321 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 6: how dirty our neighbor's clothes are depends on how clean 322 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 6: our window is. The scripture says, to the purer, all 323 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 6: things are purer. And if you're always finding fault, complaining 324 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 6: about the traffic, critical of your spouse, may I suggest. 325 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 4: Your window is dirty. 326 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 6: The problem is not external, it's internal. You're looking through 327 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 6: a tainted filter. At some point we have to look 328 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 6: in the mirror and say, maybe I'm the one that 329 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 6: needs to change. Maybe I've developed a habit of seeing 330 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 6: what's wrong rather than what's right. Maybe I've trained myself 331 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 6: to be negative, disrespectful. 332 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 4: Hard to get along with. 333 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 6: That's why it's so important every morning to put on 334 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 6: this fresh new attitude. I'm excited about this day. 335 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 4: I don't have to go to work. I get to 336 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 4: go to work. 337 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 6: I'm grateful for this job. I'm not focusing on what's wrong. 338 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 4: Lord. 339 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 6: I want to thank you for what's right in my life. 340 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 4: You know what you're doing. You're cleaning your windows. Ninety 341 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 4: two year old man was. 342 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 6: Moving into a senior's home. He could see images, but 343 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 6: he was technically blind. His wife of many years had 344 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 6: just passed, and after waiting in the lobby for some time, 345 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 6: this young lady, a nurse, came to take him to 346 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 6: his new room. 347 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 4: As he maneuvered his. 348 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 6: Walker through the hallways, the nurse begin to describe his 349 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 6: room in great detail. She said, it has a beautiful window, 350 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 6: a big couch, a nice desk area, and right. 351 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,239 Speaker 4: In the middle. He interrupted her and said, I love it. 352 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 4: I love it. I love it. 353 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 6: She kind of laughed and said, sir, we're not there yet. 354 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 4: You haven't seen the room. Hang on just a minute, he. 355 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 6: Said, No, whether I like my room or not doesn't 356 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 6: depend on how the furniture is arranged. It depends on 357 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 6: how my mind is arranged. And I've already made up 358 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 6: my mind. 359 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 4: I'm going to like it. 360 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 6: That's the way we should live. I've already made up 361 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 6: my mind to enjoy this day. I've already made up 362 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 6: my mind to have a blessed you. Life is too 363 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 6: short to live negative sour letting circumstances dictate our attitude 364 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 6: every morning. You need to make that a decision. This 365 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 6: is another day the Lord has made. I'm going to 366 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 6: live it in faith. I'm going to be positive. I'm 367 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 6: going to see the best. I'm going to make the 368 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 6: most of this day. Well, Joel, I'm discouraged because I've 369 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 6: had bad breaks. I had a rough childhood, a friend 370 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 6: walked out of a relationship, I went through an illness. 371 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 6: We can all find a reason to live sour, to 372 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 6: have a chip on our shoulders. You have to learn 373 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 6: to let things go. What's happened in your past cannot stop. 374 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 4: What God has in your future. 375 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 6: God wouldn't have allowed it if it was going to 376 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 6: keep you from your destiny. But if we go around discourage, 377 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 6: why did it happen? Why did this door close? That's 378 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 6: going to keep us from the new things. 379 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 4: God has in store? And the scripture says the rain. 380 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 6: Falls on the just and the unjust. No one is 381 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 6: exempt from difficulties. 382 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 4: But here's the key. If you'll stay in faith, that setback. 383 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 6: Is setting you up for God to show out in 384 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 6: your life. Instead of being sour, put on this fresh 385 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 6: new attitude. Father, you said you'd give me beauty for 386 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 6: these ashes. You said what was meant for harm, you 387 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 6: would turn to my advantage. So Lord, I want to 388 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 6: thank you that I'm not only coming out, but I'm going. 389 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 4: To come out better. In the scripture. Job went through 390 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 4: a great trial. Wasn't fair. He didn't do anything wrong. 391 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 6: But everything fell apart, and at first he had a 392 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 6: bad attitude. He complained and was bitter, but he didn't 393 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 6: stay there. When it looked like he was done, like 394 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 6: there was no reason to have hope, he looked up 395 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 6: to the heavens and said, I know my Redeemer lives. 396 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 6: He was saying, I know God is still on the throne. 397 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 6: I know he's bigger than what I'm facing. He put 398 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 6: on this fresh new attitude. 399 00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 4: If he would have stayed. 400 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 6: Bitter, angry, discourage, we wouldn't be talking about him. When 401 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 6: it was all said and done. Job came out with 402 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 6: twice what he had before. 403 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 4: In difficult times. 404 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 6: It's tempting to get sour, Joel, I was doing the 405 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 6: right thing, had this bad break, This setback came out 406 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 6: of nowhere. 407 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 4: You have to do like Job, put your. 408 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 6: Foot down and say, I refuse to go through life 409 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 6: with a bad attitude. I am not going to let 410 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 6: what happened to me, who did me wrong, what I 411 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 6: didn't get, keep me from becoming all I was created 412 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 6: to be. 413 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 4: God. I know you being for me is more than 414 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 4: the world being against me. 415 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 6: That's what allows God to show out in your life. 416 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 4: But too often we're. 417 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 6: Holding on to the hurts, disappointments, the things we don't 418 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 6: understand that poisons our attitude, steals our passion. 419 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 4: You have to let it go. This is a new day. 420 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 6: The scripture talks about how God created you to be 421 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 6: like an eagle to soar. What's interesting is an eagle 422 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 6: doesn't eat anything that's dead. Unlike other animals that will 423 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 6: eat a carcass, a coyote that will eat a dead cow, 424 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 6: an eagle only feeds off of live foods, swoops down 425 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 6: to the ocean and picks up a live fish. If 426 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 6: you're going to be an eagle, if you're going to soar, 427 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 6: you can't go back to the dead things in your life. 428 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 6: Too many people are feeding off of what didn't work out, 429 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 6: reliving the disappointments, the mistakes, the bad breaks. When they 430 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 6: wake up, first thing they think about who hurt them, 431 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 6: the people that did them wrong. 432 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,959 Speaker 4: Quit feeding off that dead food. 433 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 6: You can't put poison into your spirit and. 434 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 4: Live a victorious life. Let it go. 435 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 6: That's over and done. Now, start feeding on live food. 436 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 6: You know what's a live the healthiest food you can 437 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 6: put in your spirit promises from the scripture. 438 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 4: I am blessed and I cannot be cursed. I will 439 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 4: live and not die, and declare the works of the Lord. 440 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 6: Thanks me to God who always causes me to triumph. 441 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 6: What are you feeding on? Pay attention to what you're 442 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 6: putting in your spirit. You're called to be an eagle, 443 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 6: but sometimes we're acting like a chicken. Do you know 444 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 6: a chicken will eat its own waste. 445 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 4: A chicken feeds. 446 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 6: Off of what's been discarded, off of what's supposed to 447 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 6: be trash. Maybe that's why a chicken has wings, but 448 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 6: it can't really fly. It holds on to what it 449 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 6: should have released. And you need to view the negative 450 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 6: things in your life as waste. No, God doesn't waste it, 451 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 6: but you're not supposed to feed on it. It's over, 452 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 6: you've been through it, you've eliminated it. 453 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 4: Now move on. Don't go back to what you've released. 454 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 6: If you're always feeding off of what's been discarded, reliving 455 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 6: old hurts, thinking about what you've lost, that's going to 456 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 6: keep you from flying. But God didn't give you wings 457 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 6: so you can stay on the ground. He didn't say 458 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 6: you will mount up like chickens. He called you an eagle. 459 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 6: He created you to soar. Don't let a wrong attitude 460 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 6: keep you grounded. My father had heart disease most of 461 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 6: his life. He struggled with his blood pressure, and he 462 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 6: came from a family that had to fight that. When 463 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 6: I was a teenager, we used to go watch the 464 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 6: Astros play baseball. Walking from the parking lot to the stadium, 465 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 6: my father would have to stop several times in rest. 466 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 6: He was out of breath. It'd been that way so long, 467 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 6: that was normal to him. He eventually went to the 468 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 6: doctor and then discovered the arteries to his heart were 469 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 6: almost completely clogged. The doctor said he was only operating 470 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 6: on thirty percent of what he should be. He eventually 471 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 6: had open heart surgery and they removed all the blockage. 472 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 6: My father was like a new man. He could walk 473 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 6: from miles. But sometimes, like my father, our heart has 474 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 6: become clogged, not physically, but with offense, with self pity, 475 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 6: with discouragement. 476 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 4: We don't realize it, but. 477 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 6: We're only operating at a percentage of what we should be. 478 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 4: We wonder why our. 479 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 6: Marriage is steal and while we're not passionate about our dreams, 480 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 6: there are contaminants blocking the flow. We've allowed these poisons 481 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,239 Speaker 6: to clog up the blessings, the joy, the ideas that 482 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 6: belonged to us. The good news is you can get 483 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 6: back to who you were created to be. You don't 484 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 6: have to have a doctor. You can make these changes. 485 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 6: If you will get rid of the offense, the critical spirit, 486 00:27:56,040 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 6: the negative attitude, You'll get that spring back in your staff. 487 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 6: You'll not only enjoy life more, but you'll see favor 488 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 6: in greater ways. What could you be if your heart 489 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 6: was totally unclogged? How high could you fly if you 490 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 6: didn't have contaminants holding you back? It's time to find out. 491 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 6: Get up every morning, start putting on this fresh new attitude. 492 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 6: This day is a gift from God. It is filled 493 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 6: with possibilities, new ideas, new friendships. I'm asking you, like 494 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 6: that airplane, to live knows how, focused on the good, 495 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 6: focused on the possibilities. If you'll do this, I believe 496 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 6: and declare you're about to lift off. 497 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 4: New doors are about to open. 498 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 6: Freshness in your relationships, healing, promotion, new levels, the fullness 499 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 6: of your destiny in Jesus' name, And if you receive it, 500 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 6: can you say amen? 501 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 4: Today? 502 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 6: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 503 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 6: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 504 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 6: Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll repent of my sins. Come 505 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 6: into my heart. I'll make you my lord and savior. Well, friends, 506 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 6: if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 507 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 6: born again.
