1
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: Pastor Paul the White, congratulations on forty years of transformative,

2
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: life changing kingdom advancing ministry.

3
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: Thank you for being.

4
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: Used by God, for saying yes to the calling for

5
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: changing the world by filling the world with the glory

6
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ.

7
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: That's kind of.

8
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,839
Speaker 3: God's word is your answer. I'm so excited to bring

9
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 3: this word to you today. It's so vital. We hear

10
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 3: in science and at the big universities this thing called

11
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: flourishing minds. It's the hot topic. It's the big thing,

12
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: and there's been millions, billions of dollars poured into it.

13
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 3: And when you get to the root of it, what

14
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: is flourishing mind it's having a mindset. And you know

15
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 3: what's at the root of that mindset, nothing different than

16
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: the Word of God has told us from cover to cover,

17
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 3: from Genesis to Revelation. It's about living grateful, and living

18
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: grateful makes a huge difference in your life. I really

19
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 3: want to go down to the impact that it will

20
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: have on you, and you can evaluate and say, am

21
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: I in that place of gratitude? And how do I

22
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 3: really walk it out? And what does it bring in?

23
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: How does it change me? Let me tell you what

24
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: happened to me. I was going through nineteen life crisis

25
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 3: some of the worst things that I think a person

26
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: could walk through. Our daughter died of cancer. I had

27
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 3: gone through an unwanted divorce. I kept believing that my

28
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: marriage would be a miracle. And I want to tell

29
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: everyone who's ever gone through a difficult time in their

30
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: marriage or relationship, or lost a child, and there were

31
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: so many other things. God is with you all the way,

32
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: and on that side of things, I couldn't see that

33
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 3: there would be a day that I'd be on Southwest

34
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: and God would literally bring me His man, a husband,

35
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: the love of my life. That's my husband, John. I

36
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: couldn't see everything on the other side. And maybe you're

37
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: in that situation right now and you feel like your

38
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: whole world is falling apart. You feel like, what do

39
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 3: I have to be grateful for? Paula, you have no idea?

40
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: I bet I have a little bit of an idea.

41
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 3: I'd been through some things. We'd gone through so many

42
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 3: tests and trial, and there were nineteen life crisis. I

43
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: counted them up and put them and when I saw

44
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: a therapist or had a pastor or someone that was

45
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: helping me, they were on a scale that was seven, eight, nine, ten.

46
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: I mean, they were serious things, and I'll never forget.

47
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: I was crying, I was losing weight, I couldn't eat,

48
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 3: I couldn't think. This wasn't for a day or two.

49
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 3: This was serious trauma in my life. Now I looked

50
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: and I said, did I open a door to sin?

51
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 3: Did I do something wrong? God? Show me? Because I

52
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 3: lived as God's girl at that point in my life.

53
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 3: There was such a purity, such an almost innocence with

54
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 3: the Lord that I just stayed in his presence. I

55
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: mean I consumed him, and that purity is still there,

56
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 3: that innocence is still there, that just loves God so purely.

57
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: But I'm talking about just nothing but Jesus. And I

58
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 3: couldn't understand why am I going through these things? Are

59
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 3: you there? Why did why did my family get attacked?

60
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 3: Why did why did my finances get attacked? Why did

61
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: my body get attacked? I mean, everything that could go wrong?

62
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: Felt like what's happening is my name? Job? And I'll

63
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 3: never forget is. I was laying on my office floor.

64
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: The Holy Spirit came to me and said, tell me

65
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: three things you're grateful for, And it was a you

66
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 3: know I'm not an audible voice, but that loud impression

67
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 3: and this was my first thought. I don't have anything

68
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: to be thankful for. And I felt like the Holy

69
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: Spirit said, tell me three things you're grateful for, and

70
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, and I was pretty upset about it, to

71
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 3: be honest with you, because I'm like, do you realize

72
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 3: every wall is caving in, that everything is falling down,

73
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: that nothing seems to be working right now, tell me

74
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: three things you're grateful for? Now? When God begins to

75
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 3: speak to you, it's not for him to know, it's

76
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: for you. God wanted to show me. He wanted to

77
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 3: show me something so I could hear my kids. And

78
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: I was almost irritated by it. My son's now thirty nine,

79
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 3: a phenomenal pastor. It's got two beautiful children, my grandchildren,

80
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: Angie's and Tennessee. She's a wonderful mother. I mean, just

81
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 3: going on and on. Married to an er doctor Brandon

82
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 3: is in the Air Force. He's a chaplain. The kids

83
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: are doing great, I mean, but at the time, teenagers,

84
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 3: young adults, they were not doing good. At that time.

85
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: They were causing all kinds of heck in trouble and

86
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 3: some of you know the story. But I kept believing

87
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 3: God and praying, and I heard the kids and they

88
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 3: were laughing at something in another room, and I was

89
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: pretty irritated because I was in such deep pain. I'm like,

90
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 3: how can you be laughing right now when I'm in

91
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: this kind of pain. Holy Spirits saying, give me three

92
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 3: things that you're grateful for. So I said, I can

93
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: hear my kids laughing, and the Holy Spirits that's right.

94
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 3: You still have the ability to hear, and faith cometh

95
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 3: by hearing and hearing by the word. And I was like, oh.

96
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 3: And I looked up the window and the sun was rising.

97
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 3: I said, I can see the sun rising. The Olsairs

98
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 3: said that's right, you can still see. You have eyes

99
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: that are open. And I'm going to show you my revelation.

100
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: I'm going to show you my glory in the midst

101
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 3: of this pain. And then I thought, well, the sun's rising.

102
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: He's like, that's right. You made it to another day, Paula.

103
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 3: And from that day on, I decided, all right, Lord,

104
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 3: I'm going to write three things every day that I'm

105
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 3: grateful for now. I did it. Not sarcastic. I wasn't,

106
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: but I was in so much pain. Little did I

107
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 3: know at the time that gratefulness was more than just

108
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 3: an attitude or feeling, that it was a powerful tool

109
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 3: and a principle to position and to promote me and

110
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: to bring me to a place of wellness. Little did

111
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 3: I know that I was literally lifting myself out of

112
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 3: that depression and refocusing my mind and my attitude and

113
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 3: everything else unto the goodness of God, even though it

114
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: felt more like a job moment. But that would just

115
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: be a short season that God would bring me into

116
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 3: a greater glory. You know, often trouble is your incubator

117
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 3: for promotion and advancement and things that God's doing to

118
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 3: enlarge you and increase you. Why Because God has a

119
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 3: good life for you, one with peace, one with joy,

120
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: one with love, one with wholeness, one with provision. He's

121
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 3: not after you in the way that he's going to

122
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: get you. He's after you in the way that He

123
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: wants to love you. And sometimes that loving carries us

124
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 3: through difficult seasons. And First Thessalonians Chapter five, verse sixteen

125
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 3: through eighteen, it says, be joyful, always, pray, continually give

126
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 3: thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for

127
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 3: you in Christ Jesus. You see what you appreciate appreciates,

128
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 3: And when you learn to appreciate more of what you

129
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: already have, whether that's peace or joy, or a relationship

130
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 3: with the Lord Jesus, or breath in your body, or

131
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 3: the sun rising or the ability to hear, you'll find

132
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 3: yourself having more to appreciate. If you want more love,

133
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 3: appreciate the love that you have. If you want more friends,

134
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 3: appreciate the friends you have. You know, this is so

135
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 3: important because the biggest way that curses are broad on

136
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: us is word word curses. Now, there's other ways. It's

137
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 3: passed down through a bloodline, the sins of the father,

138
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: the sense of a mother, open door to sin. There's

139
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 3: different ways, but the biggest way is a word curse.

140
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 3: So when you're like, nobody loves me, what are you doing,

141
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 3: you're saying you're pushing love away from you. I don't

142
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 3: have any friends, nobody likes to be with me. You're

143
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: bringing a word curse on yourself. Now. In the Book

144
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 3: of Ephesians, God is speaking over you at all times

145
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 3: right now, whether you can hear it or not hear it,

146
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 3: whether you're tuned into it or aligned with that are not.

147
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: The Lord is blessing you. Right now, line yourself up

148
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 3: with the blessing of the Lord and with what God

149
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 3: has to say about you, and live grateful for that.

150
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 3: Thank you for the friend I have, Thank you that

151
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 3: I love myself, Thank you for your love for me.

152
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: See a large body of recent work has suggested that

153
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 3: people who are more grateful have higher levels of subjective

154
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 3: well being. They're more confident, they're more whole. Grateful people

155
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: are happier, they're less depressed, less stressed. There's some reality

156
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 3: to this. Living grateful that makes a huge difference in

157
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: your life. And grateful people also have higher levels of

158
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 3: control of their environments, personal difficulties, say experience in life,

159
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: being more likely to seek support from other people, They

160
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 3: reinterpret and grow from experiences. They spend more time planning

161
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: how to deal with the problem. In other words, people

162
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 3: who are grateful have the ability to face adversity, to

163
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 3: persevere through difficult times. Now that's important because God doesn't

164
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 3: say that every day is going to be perfect. In fact,

165
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 3: it's not suffering as part of our faith. But it

166
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: doesn't mean Look at Stephen when he was being stoned,

167
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: and that was in the early church. They had arrested

168
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 3: him and they're literally killing him, and he's praising God.

169
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: How can you do that? Because there's such a qurel

170
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 3: on the inside of him that he recognizes this life

171
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 3: is just a place that I'm living in it. I

172
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 3: don't belong to it. I'm in this world, but I'm

173
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: not of this world. You see, Grateful people have less

174
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 3: negative coping strategies. They're less likely to try to avoid problems.

175
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: They don't deny there's a problem. They don't blame themselves,

176
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 3: they don't self sabotage. They don't have what we call ants,

177
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 3: automated negative thoughts. I'm going to teach you a little

178
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: practice here. Before you jump out of bed in the morning,

179
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 3: I want you to just lay there five minutes, ten minutes,

180
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 3: and I want you to envision your day and I

181
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: want you to thank God for favor coming to you,

182
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 3: for wisdom, for open doors, whatever it is that you're

183
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: thinking about. I want you to just jump out of bed,

184
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 3: get on your phone, do with things. I want you

185
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: to meditate, and at night, before you go to bed,

186
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 3: I want you to do what it's called a treasure hunt.

187
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 3: I want you to lay down and before you shut

188
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 3: your eyes, turn off the screen, don't do screen time,

189
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: And for five, ten minutes, or however long it takes

190
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 3: you think about the treasures of the day, Like what happened. Oh,

191
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: I got a phone call from this person. My husband

192
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 3: told me they loved me. I saw my granddaughter today,

193
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 3: I signed that contract, whatever it was. Go on a

194
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 3: treasure hunt. Don't sit there and think about all the

195
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 3: things that went wrong. Find the treasure of that day

196
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: and focus on it. I promise you you're retraining your mind

197
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: and even your nerve paths to think different. To shift

198
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 3: over to Philippians, Chapter four, verse eight and nine. God

199
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 3: told us to do this all along, he says, finally, brother,

200
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 3: whatever's true, whatever's honorable, whatever's just, whatever's pure, whatever's lovely,

201
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 3: whatever is commendable, if there's any excellence, if there's anything

202
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 3: worthy of praise. Think about these things. What you have

203
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: learned and received and heard and seen in me. Practice

204
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 3: these things, and the God of Peace will be with you.

205
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 4: Now.

206
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 3: Watch what that says. Gratitude is connected to peace. Do

207
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 3: you have anxiety? Do you have stress? Do you have fear?

208
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 3: Do you have worry? Or you always well? He's not

209
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 3: going to make it. Oh, my gosh, my kids. No

210
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 3: matter your situation, no matter what you're going through, you

211
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 3: can live in a place of gratitude. Gratitude has been

212
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 3: said to have one of the strongest links with your

213
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 3: mental health and your wellness of any character trait. Life

214
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: can be stressful. You'll face times that can take your

215
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: breath away. You'll be afraid, have anxiety. But I want

216
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: you to see what God says. In Psalm chapter nine

217
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 3: and ten. The writer says enemies have oppressed him. There

218
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 3: are times of trouble. He's in affliction, he's depressed, he's

219
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 3: at the gates of death. He's needy, he's poor, he's helpless,

220
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 3: and he feels forgotten. He describes all that in those

221
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 3: two chapters. But look what he says how he starts it.

222
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 3: In Psalm chapter nine, verse one in the ESB, he says,

223
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 3: I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart.

224
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 3: I will recount all your wonderful deeds. Now look what

225
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 3: he said. I'm at the gates of death, I'm needy,

226
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 3: I'm distressed. But he understands that gratitude is linked to

227
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 3: your spirituality, and that's been proven by science and studies.

228
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,119
Speaker 3: They found that spirituality is capable of enhancing person's ability

229
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 3: to be grateful, and those who regularly attend religious service

230
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: or go to church, or engage in activities like worship

231
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 3: and giving and honoring the Lord, they have a greater

232
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 3: sense of gratitude in every area of their life. Recent

233
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 3: studies find the profound impact of living grateful, and this

234
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 3: should be nothing new to the believer because it's all

235
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 3: throughout God's word Psalm one thirty eight, verse one through three.

236
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 3: It's the message version. Listen to what it says, thank you.

237
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 3: Everything in me says thank you. Angels, listen as I

238
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 3: sing my thanks. I kneel in worship facing your holy

239
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 3: temple and say it again. Thank you, Thank you for

240
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 3: your love, Thank you for your faithfulness. Most holy is

241
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 3: your name, Most holy is your word. The moment I

242
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: called out, you stepped in, and you made my life

243
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 3: large with strength, Psalm seventy five to one. We thank

244
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 3: you God, We thank you. Your name is our favorite word.

245
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: Your mighty works are all we talk about. Psalm thirty,

246
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 3: verse twelve. I'm about to burst with song. I can't

247
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 3: keep quiet about you, God, my God. I can't thank

248
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 3: you enough. So I'm fifty four six through seven. I'm

249
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 3: ready now to worship.

250
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: So ready.

251
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 3: I thank you God. You're so good. You got me

252
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 3: out of every scrap I saw my enemies. Get it.

253
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 3: You are continually either growing into a bigger and better

254
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: Christian or you're shrinking into a little bitter person. You're

255
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 3: living expanded or you're living contracted. You see, it's not

256
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 3: the pass that holds you back. It's the future and

257
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 3: how we undermine it. Remember Victor Frankel told us that

258
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: who survived a concentration camp for three years. The Psalmist

259
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 3: shows us that when he's going through the value of

260
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 3: shadow of death, he's not alone. Thou or my rod,

261
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 3: my comfort. Think about this, if you say, Paula, I

262
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 3: have nothing to be grateful for, Be grateful for God's word,

263
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: Be grateful for his name, which he honors above all things.

264
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 3: In the name of Jesus. On the basis of that blood,

265
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 3: I can be healed. I can be made whole. I

266
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 3: can be restored. No weapon formed against me is going

267
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 3: to prosper. But if I sit it and go, oh,

268
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 3: I'm in a battle, it's such a bad day. I'm stuck.

269
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: You see, God said give thanks in all things, not

270
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 3: for all things. But you have to develop an attitude

271
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,959
Speaker 3: of gratitude. How do I do that? And attitude is

272
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 3: a state of mind, are feeling, It's a disposition, And

273
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 3: gratitude is the feeling of thankfulness and appreciation. That etymology

274
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 3: or the root of that word is to be thankful

275
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 3: and pleasing. It's from the root of gratis, which means grace,

276
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 3: which is God's favor or God's help. It means pleasing, quality, favor, goodwill, agreeable.

277
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 3: So it comes from this root word which means to praise,

278
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 3: to welcome, to sin. So to be grateful is to praise,

279
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: and to praise is to acknowledge someone for who they

280
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 3: are and what they've done. When I praise, there's always

281
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 3: provision by God's presence. Whatever you appreciate appreciates, and this

282
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 3: is where you build a life of value. The only

283
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 3: way I can praise or have an attitude of gratitude

284
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 3: in all things is by His grace, his kindness, his favor.

285
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 3: Remember one Corinthians fifteen ten says, but by the grace

286
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 3: of God I am what I am, and his grace

287
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 3: which was bestowed upon me was not in vain. But

288
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 3: I labored more abundantly than they all yet not I

289
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 3: but the grace of God which was with me. Now

290
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 3: that's important because PAULI writer is saying everything I am

291
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 3: is because of the grace of God, because of the

292
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 3: favor of God, because of His goodness in me. Look,

293
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 3: maybe you're saying maybe you're living in a maybe you're

294
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 3: living in your car, I don't know, or in a

295
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: tiny apartment or a trailer. Been there, lived in a trailer,

296
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 3: had to tough times. But in your situation, you don't

297
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 3: have to say, I'm just so thankful, this is the

298
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 3: best my life is going to ever be. You say, God,

299
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 3: I thank you for your grace. I thank you for

300
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 3: your goodness. Everything I am is because of your son,

301
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ. And you're no respect or persons. You're the

302
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 3: same today, yesterday, and forever more, according to Hebrews Chapter three,

303
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 3: verse six. So being grateful is really to praise, to welcome,

304
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 3: to announce. You know what it is to say thank

305
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 3: you when you're grateful. It comes down to grace. Remember,

306
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 3: Paul says, I am what I am because of the

307
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 3: grace of God, and grace is where favor is released. Now,

308
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 3: favor is interesting because I've heard people say favoring it

309
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 3: fair and dah dah dah, Yes it is. It's a

310
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 3: clear path of the favor of God. And it starts

311
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 3: with the fear of the Lord. Now watch what all

312
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 3: this is going to Because favor come through obedience and

313
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 3: through the fear of the Lord. And when you fear

314
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 3: the Lord. Not and I'm afraid of you, but in

315
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 3: a reverence, I'm in all of you. God, You're so good.

316
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 3: I have breath. I'm a miracle. I was born, that

317
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 3: is supernatural. I made it into this earth. I get

318
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 3: to carry out a purpose for you. When you start

319
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 3: thinking like that and sing life like that and understanding

320
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 3: it's nothing more. You praise God and say God, thank

321
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 3: you so much for your goodness. He goes, oh, yeah,

322
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 3: you think that was something. Watch this, Watch what I'm

323
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 3: getting ready to do. You see, when grace is your case,

324
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 3: you're not judgmental, not of yourself, not of others, not

325
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 3: of events, not of situations. You can be observant, but

326
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 3: you're not judging it. In other words, you can observe. Yeah,

327
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 3: I see da da da, you make comments whatever, but

328
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 3: you're not judging it. Somebody might be going through a

329
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 3: hard time. You're not going. Oh they must sinned. I'll

330
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 3: never forget when I was going through those nineteen life

331
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 3: crisis people, Oh there must be sin in your life.

332
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 3: Oh God's not with her anymore? Are you kidding me?

333
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 3: We obviously haven't read from Genesis to Revelation, because there

334
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 3: is not one single story in this Bible that doesn't

335
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 3: show the good, the bad, the ugly. And God says,

336
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 3: knowing these times, I am with you, I mean with

337
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 3: you in a time of trouble, and I am so

338
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 3: grateful for that day that the Holy Spirit said, tell

339
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 3: me three things demanded of me. He was shifting me

340
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 3: out of that depression, out of that word curse, that

341
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 3: I was speaking over myself, out of that mentality, And

342
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 3: these were things I knew, but boy, I was hurting

343
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 3: so bad that I'd gotten off track, and the Holy

344
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 3: Spirit put me back on track. You see, when we

345
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 3: aren't judgmental, and we can forgive ourself, we can forgive others.

346
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 3: We can say, God, I don't understand everything, but I

347
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 3: know that this is working for me and not against me.

348
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 3: Because Romans chapter eight, verse twenty eight tells me so

349
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 3: that if I love you and I'm called and I'm

350
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 3: in accordance with your will. Then what the enemy sent

351
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 3: for bad, you will turn around for the good. Not

352
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 3: my good necessarily, but the good. There's a bigger picture

353
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 3: that I'm living, and by gratitude just doesn't affect me.

354
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 3: It affects the Kingdom of God. Remember Romans Chapter three,

355
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 3: twenty three and twenty four tells us all of sinned,

356
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 3: which means to miss the mark and have a mistaken identity,

357
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 3: and all it comes short of the glory of God

358
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 3: verse twenty four. I love this being justified freely by

359
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 3: His grace, through the redemption that is in Christ, Jesus.

360
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 3: So it tells us the problem. Here's the problem. Everyone

361
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 3: has had a mistaken identity. Every one of us have

362
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 3: missed the mark. But through the redemption, by the lot

363
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 3: of Jesus Christ, I'm bought back. I made clean, clean slate.

364
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 3: So when you start having the assaults, oh, I'm just

365
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 3: a bad person. I did this back then. Or the

366
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 3: enemy starts whispering in you, you'll never advance. Oh if

367
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 3: they knew this about you, the devil's such a liar.

368
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 3: Say yes, but the blood. Don't ever underestimate the power

369
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 3: and strength of grace. Grace is gratitude. It's the confirmation

370
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 3: of relationship. And remember, gratitude is rooted in grace. Therefore,

371
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 3: without grace, I cannot truly be thankful and appreciative. So

372
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 3: when I'm gracious, which literally means enjoined favor, I am grateful.

373
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 3: It's inseparable. So I want you to do something. I

374
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 3: want you to do the same practice that the Holy

375
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 3: Spirit had me do. I want you to journal for

376
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 3: the next five days, thirty days. I'd love for you

377
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 3: to do it thirty days. Three things because it'll form

378
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 3: a habit in your life that you're grateful for. Just

379
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 3: write them down at the top of your to do list.

380
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 3: I don't know what to do list. You should the

381
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 3: top of your phone and your notes, wherever you take it.

382
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 3: Three things you're grateful for. And as you do that,

383
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 3: watch how your life begins to shift. Because what you

384
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 3: appreciate appreciates.

385
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,520

Speaker 4: God so loved the world that he gave his only

441
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 4: begun sun. And if you don't have a real relationship,

442
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 4: I don't think you can be grateful without that. You

443
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 4: can try it with the head knowledge, but it's.

444
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 3: Not going to last because there has to be a

445
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 3: spiritual Remember, grace, gratitude is out of covenant, connection and relationship.

446
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 3: Are you ready for a real relationship if you don't

447
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 3: know where you're going to spend eternity, whether it's heaven

448
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 3: or Hell. Oh, I don't even believe in that. It's real,

449
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 3: whether you believe in it or not. Let's pray this

450
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 3: prayer together. Open up your heart for God to come

451
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 3: in through a son, Jesus Christ. Say Father, God, forgive

452
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 3: me for my sin. I want a relationship with you.

Speaker 6: on forty years of ministry. There's nobody better than you.

473
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 6: You have helped us so much in so many different ways.

474
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 6: We set records with evangelicals and frankly everyone else, and

475
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 6: Paula White, we just want to thank you. You're very

476
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 6: special woman. Thank you very much.

477
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,479
Speaker 5: Happy Thanksgiving from past year, Paula White King and Paula

478
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 5: White Ministries.

479
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 3: So when you're grateful, you see life events instead of

480
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 3: trying to take you out as God processing you for

481
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 3: something greater.

482
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 2: Than where you are right now. Talk to me, David.

483
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 2: You're just a kid, but God calls you a king

484
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 2: to say thanks.

485
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 3: Welcome to Paula Today, during this week, as we approach Thanksgiving,

486
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 3: I want to teach you on living grateful. God has

487
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 3: so much to say in his word for me personally.

488
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,719
Speaker 3: It change and transfer my life during one of the

489
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 3: most difficult times that I was going through, and the

490
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 3: Holy Spirit literally demanded of me, tell me three things

491
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 3: you're grateful for. Well, I cannot wait to get into

492
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 3: the Word and show you the benefits that when you

493
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 3: live a grateful life, especially during this time of Thanksgiving,

494
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 3: but all year long. When we live thankful and grateful,

495
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 3: it invokes God's grace, his favor. It comes from this

496
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 3: word of praise and thanksgiving. You'll see the pathway and

497
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 3: the benefits and the blessings. Let's get into the Word now.

498
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 3: I know the Church is the most powerful entity in

499
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 3: the earth. I know that it is the only legally

500
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 3: authorized entity in the earth that has the ability to

501
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 3: bring forward transformation.

502
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 2: I know that God is more powerful than any entity,

503
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 2: any being.

504
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 3: I know that Jesus Christ is the way the truth

505
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 3: to life. I know I am a child of God,

506
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 3: created in the image of an almighty God. I know

507
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 3: I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I know that I'm

508
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 3: the apple of his eye. I know that every day,

509
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 3: if nobody else is praying over me, the High Priest

510
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, my Savior, my Messiah, come on, is praying

511
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 3: over me and according to Ephesians chapter three and chapter one,

512
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 3: God is speaking blessing over me right now. I know

513
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 3: that God calls me by my name. He doesn't call

514
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 3: me by my shame. I know that my past has

515
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 3: no relevance on my future except for a point of

516
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 3: looking what God did, how he brought me from A

517
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 3: to B to C. I know that behold, all things

518
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 3: can become new in Christ Jesus.

519
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 2: No matter what.

520
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 3: Somebody tries to hold you to. You are a new

521
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 3: creation in Christ Jesus. I know I'm the head and

522
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 3: not the tell I know I am blessed coming in

523
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 3: and blessed going out. I know I'm blessed if you

524
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 3: put me in the city. I know I'm blessed if

525
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 3: you put me in the field. I know that I

526
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 3: don't have to go to a blessed place. I can

527
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 3: be in a barren place and bring blessing to it

528
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 3: because I know what I carry. I know who I

529
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 3: am in Christ Jesus. I know I can do all

530
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 3: things through by my relationship of resting in Him.

531
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 2: Come on, I know that God has me.

532
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 3: I know when I meditate on the word and speak

533
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 3: the word and do the word, that I make.

534
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 2: My way successful.

535
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 3: Success is not determined if somebody likes me, somebody gives

536
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 3: me a break, somebody is with me. Success is determined

537
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 3: by the Word of God, which is higher and as

538
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 3: high as the name of God, and what I do

539
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 3: with that, And that if I be willing and obedient,

540
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 3: I will eat the good of the land.

541
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 2: That I will always see the good of the land.

542
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 3: And that which God has given me, that which God

543
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 3: has shown me, He will complete. He will perfect that

544
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 3: which He started in my life. That God doesn't quittle me.

545
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 3: That God is alpha, God is a mega, That God

546
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 3: is beyond time and is a thousand and all I've

547
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 3: got to do is walk it out with patients, and

548
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 3: the promises will come to pass. Faith cometh by hearing,

549
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 3: and the hearing by the word of God. And as

550
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 3: the Word gets in your spirit, so does faith come

551
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 3: on in The promises of God come to pass by

552
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 3: faith and by your patience.

553
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 2: All you have to do is walk it out.

554
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 3: I know that I have all power and all authority,

555
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 3: both in heaven and in earth.

556
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 2: I know there's no devil, there's.

557
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 3: No warlife, there's no witch, there's no incantation, there's no spell,

558
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 3: there's no hater. There's no jealousy that can take me

559
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 3: down or take me out, because if God before me,

560
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 3: who can be against me?

561
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 2: And when the enemy does come in.

562
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 3: God will like a flood, God will raise up a

563
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 3: standard against him. I know that today a thousand will

564
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 3: fall at my side and ten thousand in my right hand,

565
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 3: but it will not come nigh me. I already know

566
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 3: that God has hedged me in and protected me and

567
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 3: covered me. He's given me a shield of protection and

568
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 3: a glory that covers me. I already know that my

569
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 3: footsteps have been ordered by God. I already know I'm

570
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 3: walking in his goodness. I know that His grace covers

571
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 3: me every day, and His mercies are new every single morning.

572
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 3: I know that I have the mind of Christ, and

573
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 3: I hold the thoughts of the Messiah. I know that

574
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 3: I've guarded my heart because out of them flow the

575
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 3: issues of life, and God has given me a heart.

576
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 2: Who I have a lot to be grateful for. I

577
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: know I'm the redeemed.

578
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 3: I know I've been purchased not by silver and gold,

579
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 3: but by the precious blood of Jesus Christ.

580
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 2: So I say all.

581
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 3: That because it's easy to interpret or reinterpret life experiences.

582
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:55,240
Speaker 3: In other words, there's nowhere I can find in every

583
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 3: single book, every single sentence, every single paragraph, every single breath,

584
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,479
Speaker 3: every single moment I've spent with God that.

585
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 2: God is not for me.

586
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 3: And the one thing I know, Sarah, is God is

587
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 3: for me, and God has me.

588
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 2: So even when I make my.

589
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 3: Mistakes and I fall down, Linnette, I don't think I'm

590
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 3: not gonna fall down, because He already told me I'm

591
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 3: gonna fall down the righteous going.

592
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 2: Where are you all.

593
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 3: Surprised when the righteous fall? He's already told me. Though,

594
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 3: when I fall even seven times, I'm gonna keep getting

595
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 3: back up.

596
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 2: He already told me in Micah seven eight.

597
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 3: Hey, enemies, don't rejoice just yet when I arise, when

598
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 3: I come back into my being, come on, don't throw

599
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 3: your party just yet. When I sit in darkness, he'll

600
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 3: be light unto me. He already told me. He already

601
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 3: told me that he'll restore me. He'll I already told

602
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 3: me that everything that the enemy comes to steal, he'll

603
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 3: give back to me sevenfold. So anytime something is stolen,

604
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 3: already know sevenfold.

605
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 2: But I know better than that.

606
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 3: That's why Brother Copeland prophesied to me and said you

607
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 3: didn't lose anything, you sowed it, Because sowing something and

608
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 3: losing things have different amounts of value in the eyes

609
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 3: of God. When the enemy steals, you get back sevenfold,

610
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 3: but when you willingly give, it comes back one hundredfold.

611
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 3: I already know what the city of Destiny is going

612
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 3: to look like. I already know the multitudes of millions

613
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 3: it'll be impacted. I just got to wake up and

614
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 3: walk it out and be grateful. So when you're grateful,

615
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 3: the days that are difficult you can reinterpret and you

616
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 3: see it as part of the bigger plan. Because whatever

617
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 3: feels like difficulty in my life at that moment, I

618
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 3: can look back over my life and go, well, if

619
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 3: that didn't happen, I certainly wouldn't be who I am.

620
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 3: You know, people have often I look, everyone knows I

621
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 3: served an assignment for the Kingdom of God, the body

622
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,760
Speaker 3: of Christ in the White House.

623
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 2: It's like I got to hide from that. Why should

624
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 2: I hide? When you saw.

625
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 3: Things like farmers to family ten billion dollars worth of

626
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 3: food with this administration continuing it now you aren't hearing

627
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 3: what I'm saying.

628
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 2: Look at it was one of.

629
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 3: The greatest honors of my life and continues to be

630
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 3: to stand in the nation and for the world. Now,

631
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 3: let me use my natural brain and let me follow spiritually.

632
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 3: Had I not gone through everything I went through, so

633
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 3: people would go, man, I wish I never had to

634
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 3: go through that. What you're really saying is, I'm not

635
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 3: ready to really make a change in the earth.

636
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 2: Oh I don't want to go through that. I don't

637
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 2: want to ever have to go through anything.

638
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 3: What you're really telling God is I don't want to

639
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 3: fulfill my purpose because when I was eighteen years old,

640
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 3: how many of you had a vision early on of

641
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 3: something great in your life. When I was eighteen years old,

642
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 3: God showed me he would use me to see nation shaken.

643
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 3: And am living in a trailer in Bill Moxley Road.

644
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 3: So what happens is, literally, when I'm eighteen years old,

645
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 3: God says, you'll shake nations. I'm in a trailer in

646
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 3: mount Airy, Maryland, a trailer that's like goutlanoleum floors and

647
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 3: arrusted sink that everything seems impossible. But God shows me

648
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 3: you'll see nations shaken. You don't just go from there

649
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 3: to there. You don't just shake nations. There's this whole

650
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 3: process So if I would have hated the parts of

651
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 3: the process and not learn from that and not learn

652
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 3: to live grateful for the bigger picture and purpose of God,

653
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 3: I would have missed it. And I never get to

654
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,439
Speaker 3: do what God has called me to do. And boy,

655
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 3: we go from glory to glory, because the best is

656
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 3: not behind us. The best is right now and still

657
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 3: in front of us. Nations will be born in a day.

658
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 3: Come on, the glory of the knowledge of the Lord

659
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 3: will cover the earth as God covers the sea. Will

660
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 3: find we'll plant three thousand churches.

661
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,439
Speaker 2: Come on, God has raised us up to do great

662
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 2: and mighty things.

663
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 3: There's an army that is rising that will be reconstituted

664
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 3: in the earth. Come on and walk in who they

665
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 3: are and function how God has called them.

00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 3: how many people we reach. Without you, we can't do anything.

694
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 3: It's your prayers, it's your giving, it's your standing with

695
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 3: us that makes a difference. Would you consider being a

696
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:05,479
Speaker 3: partner on a monthly basis, making a commitment, whether that's

697
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 3: twenty five or one hundred dollars, it's what God speaks

698
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 3: to you and where you are with that giving. But

699
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 3: thank you for making a difference. I know there will

700
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,760
Speaker 3: be a day we stand before the Lord Jesus Christ,

701
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 3: and we will hear well done. Thou good and faithful servant,

702
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 3: will give an account of everything we've done, and masses

703
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 3: of millions will have been saved, and you will be

704
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 3: a part of that great day. Many blessings and thank you.

705
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 3: Now let's get back into the word. So when you're grateful,

706
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 3: you see life events instead of trying to take you

707
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 3: out as God processing you for something greater than where

708
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 3: you are right now. Talk to me, David, you're just

709
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 3: a kid, but God calls you a king.

710
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 2: Talk to me, Gideon, you're standing.

711
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 3: He calls you a mighty man of valor, and you're

712
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 3: standing there with your knees shaken because God calls you

713
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 3: by your destined state, not by your current condition, and

714
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 3: so he wants you to walk this process grateful.

715
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 2: That's the hard part on us.

716
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 3: So grateful people know how to deal with their problems better.

717
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 3: They're less negative and have less negative coping strategies, so

718
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 3: they're not turning to dysfunctional relationships. They don't tend to

719
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,879
Speaker 3: turn to addictions as much, or things that make them cope.

720
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 3: Because we all have coping mechanisms, they're less likely to

721
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 3: try to avoid the problem. They don't act like problems

722
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 3: aren't there, and grateful people understand how to just let go.

723
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 2: Of things a little bit better.

724
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 3: It's proven because they think less negative thoughts when they

725
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,919
Speaker 3: go to bed, and when they wake up they think.

726
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 2: They don't pick up their problems or go right to

727
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 2: their phone.

728
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 3: They tend to have more of an outlook, like, Hey,

729
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 3: God's for me, This day has been ordered by God,

730
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 3: and whatever I'm getting ready to step into, he's already

731
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 3: gone there before me. So he's equipped me, he's furnishing me.

732
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 3: They live by a Philippians four eight and nine. Come on,

733
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 3: help me out with this, finely, brethren, Whatever is true

734
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 3: whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever

735
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 3: is lovely, whatever is commendable. If there be any excellence,

736
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 3: if there is anything that is worthy.

737
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 2: Of praise, put that one down.

738
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 3: If there is anything that is worthy of praise, think

739
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 3: on these things. You know, I people don't want to

740
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 3: acknowledge this sometimes, but your life really is a manifestation

741
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 3: of the sum total of your thoughts, your speech, and

742
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 3: your actions, and your behavior just comes out of your belief.

743
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 3: So whatever is deeply embedded in you about belief, whatever

744
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 3: you're thinking on the Bible says, as.

745
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 2: A man, think it so isy. But the literal.

746
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,919
Speaker 3: Interpretation means that whatever was in your heart the way

747
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 3: you see things and think about things all along, So

748
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 3: will it be so whatever is in your heart, the

749
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 3: way that you feel, the way you think about things,

750
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 3: it manifests.

751
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 5: In your life.

752
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 3: So you go, why is this guy always falling? Check

753
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 3: out your thoughts for real, see how you're seeing things.

754
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 3: Let me just shift you a little bit today. So

755
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 3: verse nine goes on there, think, think, think, think on

756
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 3: all these things, right, and verse nine says, what you've

757
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 3: learned and received and heard and seen in me? Now, Paul,

758
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 3: wasn't the easiest person to always get along with. But

759
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 3: he said, whatever you've seen, whatever you've heard, whatever you've

760
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 3: received from me, He says, practice, practice these things, and

761
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 3: then watch what he says, and the God of Peace

762
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 3: will be with you. So the God of Peace is

763
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 3: with you if you think on these things, and if

764
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 3: you practice what you've seen and.

765
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 2: Received and heard of me. And that's profound.

766
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 3: Gratitude has been dev said to have one of the

767
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 3: strongest mental health links. So we think about all the

768
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 3: things that are now labeled as mental health crisis, they

769
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,879
Speaker 3: say one of the greatest solutions for that is gratitude.

770
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 3: Watch I think, and I'll get into this in just

771
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 3: a minute. How the Bible has laid all this out

772
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 3: way before we had the summaries and the summations and

773
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 3: the scholars bringing this to us. You see, how many

774
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 3: of you know life can sometimes be stressful. And if

775
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 3: I know life can be stressful, sometimes it can be anxious,

776
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 3: have worries, get hit with things, lead you to fear,

777
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 3: tries to rock your faith, and it can affect your

778
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 3: mental well being.

779
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 2: But this is what I learned in Song chapter nine

780
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:24,879
Speaker 2: and ten.

781
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 3: I learned that it doesn't mean a denial of things,

782
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 3: because the type of Psalm and Psalm nine and ten

783
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 3: is really they were singing this song and it was

784
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 3: all one continuous song. So it's important that you read

785
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 3: them together and what they show. But the writer is

786
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 3: saying that the enemies have oppressed him, so you see oppression.

787
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 3: They say that they were in times of trouble, so

788
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 3: there's oppression. There's times of trouble. He describes himself as

789
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 3: being afflicted, so he's in times of trouble.

790
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 2: He's oppressed. He's afflicted.

791
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 3: He says, I'm depressed even at the gates of death.

792
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 3: That's like almost suicidal. That's a real despondency. This is

793
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 3: not the best situation I see.

794
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 2: Would you agree with me? Come on, y'all, y'all with me.

795
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 3: He says, I'm needy, I'm poor, I'm helpless, and I

796
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 3: feel forgotten. Now look at that situation, Lynnette, I mean,

797
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 3: have you ever complained on today? But you probably didn't.

798
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 3: Say enemies are oppressing me. I'm in trouble, I have affliction.

799
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 3: I'm depressed, I'm suicidal, I'm needy, I'm poor, I'm helpless,

800
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 3: and I feel forgotten. That is called super despondent, right,

801
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 3: so deb that is like way down beneath the baseline there.

802
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 3: But yet he starts by saying this in verse one,

803
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 3: because you can take all those chapters and remember, his

804
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 3: first words are going to establish the conclusion of the

805
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 3: whole thing. So he says his first words, and then

806
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 3: he goes into his whole state. His first words in

807
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,399
Speaker 3: verse one says, I will get thanks to the Lord

808
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 3: with my whole heart. I will recount all of his

809
00:47:56,719 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 3: wonderful deeds. So before he describes the situation, before he

810
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 3: says I'm needy, I'm poor, nobody's remembered me.

811
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 2: I'm afflicted, I'm oppressed.

812
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 3: It's times of trouble, he says, I will give thanks

813
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 3: to the Lord. Look what I'm saying to you, with

814
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 3: my whole heart, I will recount all the wonderful deeds.

815
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 3: In other words, what would have normally cause an absolute breakdown,

816
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 3: to be dismayed, literally to have a nervous breakdown.

817
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 2: We see what the secret is to him not falling apart.

818
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 3: So when he describes his situation, his circumstance, he first

819
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 3: takes action gratitude.

820
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna thank God with all my heart. I'm on

821
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 2: thank God.

822
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 3: Now, who is gonna thank God when they're oppressed, when

823
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 3: it's times of trouble, when you're needy, when you're helpless,

824
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 3: when you feel forgotten. Not many people. They're gonna be

825
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 3: complaining and say, I'm leaving the church.

826
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 2: I'm done.

827
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 3: God, you haven't even been faithful. You're not even the

828
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 3: same today, yesterday, and forevermore. You did it for Daniel,

829
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 3: but you won't even do it for me.

830
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 2: You forgot me.

831
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 3: And most people are gonna start complaining. Why did she

832
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,359
Speaker 3: get married, Why did he get the breakthrough, Why did

833
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 3: they get the check? Why did this door shut? Why

834
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 3: do they always seem to be favored? Stop asking stupid

835
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 3: questions seriously, because you're gonna have to find a stupid

836
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 3: answer to get back to yourself.

837
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 2: You stop asking the white question.

838
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 3: You just get an attitude that says God, I'm.

839
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 2: Gonna thank you and give thanks to you with my

840
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 2: whole heart.

841
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,399
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna hold any of this back, but all

842
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 3: of me is gonna thank you. Remember, I'm not thanking

843
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 3: you for all things. I'm thanking you in all things.

844
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 3: Huge difference. You don't have to go God, I'm grateful

845
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 3: for this sickness. Nobody should thank God for the sickness.

846
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 3: Nobody should thank God for what the enemy comes to kill,

847
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 3: still and destroy. But in the sickness, I thank you

848
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 3: that you're my healer. I thank you that you're my deliver.

849
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 3: I thank you that you're my restorer. I thank you

850
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 3: that you are the one that bore stripes. According to

851
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 3: Isaiah fifty three, you were wounded for my transgression, bruise

852
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 3: for my iniquity, the chastisement of your pieces upon me.

853
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 3: So then, of course we know the gratitude also doesn't

854
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,720
Speaker 3: just make a difference with your mind and your body

855
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 3: and your soul, but obviously spiritually, I mean, study after study,

856
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,240
Speaker 3: it found that people who are spiritual, that attend church,

857
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 3: that attend to religious activity, etc. And Are more likely

858
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 3: to have a greater sense of gratitude in every area

859
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 3: of their life. So it affects their relationships, it affects

860
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,240
Speaker 3: their work, it affects their health, it affects their well.

861
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 2: Being in every area.

862
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 3: That's great that we've got all these studies right and

863
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 3: we found these profound things. But for us who are believers,

864
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 3: this is nothing new. For us who are believers, this

865
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 3: is not like, oh I'm shocked, I'm surprised that it

866
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 3: makes you better mentally and better physically, and better relationally

867
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 3: and better in life. Not at all, because if you

868
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 3: just pick this word up and read it, I'm going

869
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 3: to read you some of them in the message. If

870
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 3: you just get the word in you and hide into

871
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 3: your heart, you'll see it all through there. Because when

872
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 3: I really get to what gratitude is, you're gonna find

873
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 3: out why this is so penetrating and why this makes

874
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 3: such a difference. Because this was not This did not

875
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 3: have to be told to me study after study. It

876
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 3: was all through the word of God. What changed me

877
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 3: was when I got saved, and the first thing I

878
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,320
Speaker 3: did was take the Psalms and I wrote down the

879
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 3: characteristics of God as a counselor to me. So I'd

880
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 3: gone to good counseling and I'd look at their degrees

881
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 3: and laugh, and I'd try to get their tools and

882
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 3: see if I could outsmart.

883
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 2: Them because I really wasn't ready.

884
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 3: But when God began to speak to me through his word,

885
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 3: he was my ultimate counselor. I mean, I've been through therapy,

886
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 3: I've been through counseling, but nothing has ever done for

887
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 3: me what the Word of God has done, because the

888
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 3: Word of God washes your soul. The Word of God

889
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 3: renews your mind. The word of God renovates, takes out

890
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 3: the old.

891
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 2: And puts in the new. The Word of God transforms you.

892
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 3: The Word of God changes you, and so all throughout

893
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 3: the Word of God. Gratitude is not something new. And

894
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 3: Psalm one thirty eight, verse one through three.

895
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 2: Thank you.

896
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 3: Everything in me says thank you. Angels, listen as I

897
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 3: say sing my thanks? Are you hearing that right now?

898
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 3: When you start saying thank you, Felipe, when you just

899
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 3: lifted your hand rax, when you lifted your hand, angels

900
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 3: showed up and went, my gosh.

901
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 2: There's another one praying.

902
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 3: There's myriads. There's so many more angels and there are

903
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 3: human beings. We only have seven billion human beings approximately.

904
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 3: There's so many more angels, and you go, well, they're demons.

905
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 2: There's only a third to the angels.

906
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 3: There's so many more angels celebrating right now and saying,

907
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 3: wait a minute, there's a worshiper.

908
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 2: Listen to that. Did they just hear? I mean, think

909
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 2: about what we're saying, he says. Angels, listen as I

910
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 2: sing my thanks.

911
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 3: I kneel and worship facing the Holy Temple, and I

912
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 3: say it again, thank you, you go. What are they

913
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 3: thanking him for? I thank you for your love. I

914
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 3: thank you for your faithfulness. I thank you for Most

915
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:50,240
Speaker 3: holy is your name, Most holy is your word. Listen

916
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,760
Speaker 3: right there, there's four things to give you to thank

917
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 3: God for. For his love, for his faithfulness, for his word,

918
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:58,280
Speaker 3: for his name.

919
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 2: You go, I have nothing to be thankful for. Oh yes,

920
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 2: you do.

921
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 3: For his name, for his word, for his love, for

922
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 3: his faithfulness. When you got up this morning or didn't

923
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 3: get up, that sun still came up. God is a

931
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 3: of our highest forms of worship. I'm going to ask

932
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 3: you to consider giving a gratitude offering. Maybe you tie

933
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 3: it to the word, maybe you give a scripture or

934
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 3: a certain amount, or it's one hundred dollars or one

935
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 3: thousand dollars, whatever your best is. But because of your

979
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 3: Do you have a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

980
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 3: It's hard to do life without him, almost impossible. I

981
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 3: would think he's the creator. He has a good life

982
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 3: for you. And maybe you've never asked him to be

983
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 3: your lord and savior. You see, God loved you so

984
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 3: much that he made a pathway to him through her

985
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:21,280
Speaker 3: son Jesus Christ, that was buried on that old rugged cross.

986
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 3: But he rose again on the third day, and when

987
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 3: he got up, it enables you to get up. Would

988
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 3: you pray this prayer? For the Bible says that if

989
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:30,840
Speaker 3: you believe in your heart that he's the son of God,

990
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 3: and you receive him as such, you'll be saved. Now,

991
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 3: salvation's more than just getting to heaven, though that's a

992
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 3: big part of it. It is also about Heaven getting

993
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 3: to you here on earth, about living that abundant life

994
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 3: that Christ died to give you. Pray with me, say,

995
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 3: Father God, I come to you in the name of Jesus,

996
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:56,240
Speaker 3: forgive me for all my sins. I received Jesus Christ

997
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 3: as my personal Lord and Savior. Say devil, let go

998
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 3: of my life right now. The Lord rebuke you. I

999
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 3: receive Jesus now. God bless you. If you prayed that prayer,

1000
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 3: welcome to the Family of God. It's not the last step,

1001
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,439
Speaker 3: but it is the first step. Go to Polo White
