49
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 5: right at home. But thanks for tuning in today. I

50
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 5: like to get started with something funny each week. And

51
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 5: I heard about this man that was very stingy with

52
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 5: his money, and just before his death, he made his

53
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 5: wife promise that she would have him buried with the

54
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 5: fifty thousand dollars he had saved. The wife reluctantly agreed.

55
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 5: At the funeral, just before they closed the casket, the

56
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 5: wife put in a.

57
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 4: Small wooden box.

58
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 5: Her friend said, surely you didn't just put the money

59
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 5: in there, did you. The wife said, of course I did.

60
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 5: I'm a Christian. I promised him I would do it.

61
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 5: I can't lie, so I did it. She said, you

62
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 5: mean you just buried fifty thousand dollars. The wife said,

63
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 5: I sure did. I wrote a check. All right, hold

64
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 5: up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. This

65
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 5: is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

66
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do

67
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be

68
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind

69
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

70
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

71
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 5: to talk to you today about breaking free from wrong mindsets.

72
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 5: Many times we don't realize it's our own thinking that's

73
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 5: keeping us from being our best. God is constantly trying

74
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 5: to plant new seeds in our heart, telling us that

75
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 5: we can accomplish our dreams. We can break an addiction,

76
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 5: we can overcome the past, but too often, because of

77
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 5: the wrong software, those seeds cannot take root. Instead of

78
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 5: agreeing with God and thinking can do thoughts, possibility thoughts,

79
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 5: well able thoughts, we do just the opposite. We think

80
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 5: I can't do that. I'm not talented, I'm too old,

81
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 5: I've been through too much. Our software is contaminated. You

82
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 5: have to examine your thought life.

83
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 4: What are you thinking about?

84
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 5: Have you allowed strongholds to convince you this is as

85
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 5: good as it gets and you're never gonna go any further.

86
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 4: Well, Joel, I'll never get well.

87
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 5: I've had this sickness for years, or I'll never get

88
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 5: out of these problems.

89
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 4: I'm just learning to live with it. Now.

90
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 5: Recognize those are wrong mindsets that are keeping you from

91
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 5: rising higher. Just like a virus can contaminate a computer,

92
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 5: a stronghold can contaminate our thinking. One of the best

93
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 5: things we can learn to do is hit the delete button.

94
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 4: We need to clear.

95
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 5: Out all that can't do it, not able to not

96
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 5: good enough thoughts unless we program our thinking with what

97
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 5: God says about us. God says we are well able.

98
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,239
Speaker 5: God says we can do all things through Christ. God

99
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 5: says we are strong, talented, creative, redeemed forgiven. You have

100
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 5: the seed of Almighty God on the inside.

101
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 4: You've got to make up your mind.

102
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 5: You're gonna break free from every wrong mindset and you're

103
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 5: gonna step into a new season. You're gonna step into

104
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 5: more favor. You're gonna step into better health.

105
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 4: You're gonna step.

106
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 5: Into divine connections. You're gonna step into supernatural opportunities. It

107
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 5: may have been one way a long time, even for years,

108
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 5: but the good news is this is a new day

109
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 5: and God's ready to do a new thing. You've gotta

110
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 5: make room for it in your thinking. Some of you

111
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 5: have gotten stagnant. You've given up on your dreams. You

112
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 5: don't think you'll ever get that house you really wanted,

113
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 5: or that you'll ever be well or ever get out

114
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 5: of debt. And now that lie is playing over and

115
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 5: over telling you it's all downhill from here.

116
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 4: You tried and fell too bad. You're never gonna get married,

117
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 4: you're too old. This is the way it's always going

118
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 4: to be.

119
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 5: Now you need to keep your hand on the delete button.

120
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 5: You have got to guard your mind and make sure

121
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 5: you don't allow those thoughts to take root. They will

122
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 5: set the limits for your life. I've had people tell me, Joel,

123
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 5: God can't bless me, I've made too many mistakes. No,

124
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 5: find the delete button, get rid of that thinking and

125
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,679
Speaker 5: replace it with I am forgiven, I am redeemed. God's

126
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 5: mercy is new and fresh every single morning. Well, I

127
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 5: can't accomplish my dreams. I don't have the connections. I

128
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 5: don't have the resources, I don't have the education. No,

129
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 5: hit the delete button. You and God are a majority.

130
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 5: God has already lined up the right people, the right breaks,

131
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 5: the right opportunities.

132
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 4: He has favor in your future.

133
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 5: Well, I don't have a good personality. I'm not very outgoing,

134
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 5: I'm not very attractive. Now you need to start deleting

135
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 5: that junk and start reminding yourself. I am one of

136
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 5: a kind. I am the apple of God's eye. There

137
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 5: is not another person in this world like me. That's

138
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 5: what it says in Romans twelve, verse two. To renew

139
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 5: your mind with God's word. That means to reprogram your

140
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 5: software with what God says about you. When any kind

141
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 5: of thought comes telling you that you can't rise any higher,

142
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 5: or trying to make you feel less than or like

143
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 5: it's never gonna get any better, just be quick to

144
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 5: say no, thanks, that's not for me. That may be

145
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 5: the way it's been, but that's not the way it's.

146
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 4: Going to stay.

147
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 5: I know who I am, a child of the Most

148
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 5: High God, and I've already made up my mind. I'm

149
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 5: going to become everything God's created me to be, and

150
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 5: I'm will have everything God's intended for me to have.

151
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 5: You got to have that attitude of victory. You got

152
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 5: to know deep down you are well able to do

153
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 5: what God has called you to do. I think about

154
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 5: how little children start off so excited about life.

155
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 4: They've got big dreams.

156
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 5: They're going to be an astronaut, a scientist, a teacher,

157
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 5: a singer, a ballplayer. They believe they can do anything.

158
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 5: They're not intimidated they're not insecure. They're bold, they're confident.

159
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 5: They've got that spring in their steps.

160
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 4: You know why.

161
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 5: They just came from their creator. Their thinking has not

162
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 5: been contaminated. They can feel those seeds of greatness. But

163
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 5: too often, over time, as they get older, they start

164
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 5: to get reprogrammed. Somebody tells them what they can't do,

165
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 5: what they're not going to become. The environment starts to

166
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 5: push them down. A coach says they're not good enough

167
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 5: to play on the ball team, and their self esteem

168
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 5: goes down. They see somebody more attractive and they start

169
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 5: feeling inferior. Little by little, all these things begin to

170
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 5: distort who they really are. Before long, instead of thinking

171
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,359
Speaker 5: those same possibility thoughts.

172
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 4: They think, I'll never do anything great. I'm just average.

173
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 4: I'm just ordinary like everybody else.

174
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 5: That's what's happened to many people today, very subtly, very slowly.

175
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 5: They've been programmed for mediocrity. The dreams they once had

176
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 5: have now been pushed down. They used to believe they

177
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 5: were going to leave their mark on our generation.

178
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 4: They could feel their sense.

179
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 5: Of destiny, but now the enthusiasm, the zeal for life

180
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 5: is gone. When we find ourselves stuck in these ruts,

181
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 5: not believing that we're going to rise any higher.

182
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 4: We have to ask ourselves, why do I.

183
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 5: Think this way? Who programmed me to feel inferior? Who

184
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 5: programmed me to give up on my dreams? Who programmed

185
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 5: me to think that I could never lose this weight?

186
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 5: Who programmed me to think that I'm only average? Where

187
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 5: did those thoughts come from? Could it be that you've

188
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 5: accepted wrong mindsets because of the environment you were raised

189
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 5: in or the people that you grew up around. Understand,

190
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 5: just because something seems normal to you doesn't necessarily mean

191
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 5: that it's normal. In other words, just because all the

192
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 5: people you grew up around were negative doesn't mean you're

193
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 5: supposed to be negative.

194
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 4: That's not normal.

195
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 5: Just because some of your friends didn't have dreams and

196
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 5: goals and they didn't make much out of their lives,

197
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 5: that doesn't mean it's okay for you to do that.

198
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 4: That's not normal.

199
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 5: Or how about this, Just because other family members had addictions,

200
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 5: bad habits, or because they went around with low self

201
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 5: esteem feeling inferior, don't make the mistake of thinking that

202
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 5: that's normal.

203
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 4: That is not the way you were created to be.

204
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 5: Too often we just accept it it's been this way

205
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 5: so long we don't even realize that it's not God's best.

206
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 5: If you've been in an environment, or maybe you're even

207
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 5: now in an environment with people that are negative, low

208
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 5: self esteem, inferior, little dreams, little goals, a defeated mindset,

209
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 5: you cannot afford to let that become normal to you.

210
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 5: You have to ask, have I allowed myself to be

211
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 5: programmed for mediocrity? Am I only accepting average in my career,

212
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 5: in my marriage, in my self esteem, in my attitude?

213
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 4: The good news is it's not too late to change,

214
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 4: if you will get rid of those.

215
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 5: Strongholds and come back to who you really are, a

216
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 5: child of the Most High God, full of possibility, full

217
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 5: of potential, strong.

218
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 4: Secure, confident.

219
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 5: If you'll get in agreement with God and start believing

220
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 5: you can rise higher, then you can still accomplish everything

221
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 5: that God's put in your heart.

222
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 4: You're not too old. Moses was eighty years.

223
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 5: Old when God called him. You haven't made too many mistakes.

224
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 5: Jacob was known as a deceiver, yet God used him

225
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 5: to do great things. You haven't been through too many

226
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 5: unfair situations. Joseph spent thirteen years in prison for something

227
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 5: that he didn't do, and yet God brought him out

228
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 5: better off than he was before. What am I saying?

229
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 5: There's still time for you to fulfill your destiny and

230
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 5: leave your mark. Quit listening to those lies that are

231
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 5: telling you you've reached your limits and you've gone as

232
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 5: far as you can go. Now, let me tell you,

233
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 5: you wouldn't be here today if God didn't have something

234
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 5: else for you to accomplish. God wouldn't have He wouldn't

235
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 5: have given you the breath to breathe this morning, if

236
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 5: he didn't have another victory in front of you. You

237
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 5: have an assignment somebody to impact, a new mountain to climb.

238
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 5: You are a person of destiny, not just here to

239
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 5: take up space. You were created to make a difference,

240
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 5: to live in abundant, a rewarding, a fulfilled life.

241
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 4: But it all starts right here.

242
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 5: If you don't think you're talented, you'll never have the

243
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 5: confidence to step into your God given destiny. If you

244
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 5: don't think you're attractive and you don't have a good personality,

245
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 5: you'll never meet the people God intended for you to meet.

246
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 5: If you don't think you can break that addiction, you

247
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 5: never will. If you think you've reached your limits than

248
00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 5: you already have. Recognize those are wrong mind sets that

249
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 5: are trying to keep you from your destiny.

250
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 4: It's not that you cannot.

251
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 5: Go any further, it's you just convinced yourself that you cannot.

252
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 5: Until you get rid of that thinking, until you start

253
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 5: hitting the delete button and clearing all that junk out,

254
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 5: it'll keep you right where you are. I have a

255
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 5: friend that was cleaning out his ear one day and

256
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 5: he accidentally pushed too hard and he burst his ear drum.

257
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 4: It was extremely painful, and he fell to the floor.

258
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 4: In a few minutes.

259
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 5: When the pain subsided, he tried to stand up, but

260
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 5: he couldn't.

261
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 4: Every time he got up, he was dizzy. He would

262
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 4: go right back down.

263
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 5: It's because the ear drum, as small as it is,

264
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 5: if you puncture it, you'll lose your equilibrium.

265
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 4: And you won't be able to stand up.

266
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 5: Just this one little thing in our ear affects our

267
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 5: whole sense of balance. You can be strong, you can

268
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 5: have energy, you can be coordinated. Everything else is fine,

269
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 5: except this one little thing is off.

270
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 4: Same way with our thought life.

271
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 5: Our thinking is equivalent to our equilibrium. God has given

272
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 5: every one of us gifts talents, potential, you are full

273
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 5: of can do power, You have the seeds of greatness

274
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 5: on the inside of you. But if something as small

275
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 5: as our thinking is off, it can keep us from

276
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 5: becoming what we were created to be. Not because we're

277
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 5: not talented, not because we don't have what it takes,

278
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 5: simply because we've allowed the wrong software to contaminate our files.

279
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 4: Just one thought telling you that you're inferior, you don't

280
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 4: have what it takes. If you allow that.

281
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 5: Thought to take root, it can keep you off balance

282
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 5: your whole lifetime. Just one thought saying you've made too

283
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 5: many mistakes. Nothing good's ever going to happen to you.

284
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 5: If you believe that lie, it can keep you from

285
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 5: your God given destiny. One thought saying your problems are

286
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 5: too big. You'll never get out of this mess. That's

287
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 5: the why it's always going to be that thought. If

288
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 5: you let it, it can keep you from pressing forward

289
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 5: and experiencing the great things God has in store. That's

290
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 5: why it's so important to take inventory of your thought life.

291
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 5: Identify any wrong mindsets that are holding you back, and

292
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 5: when those thoughts of defeat insecurity come, be quick to

293
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 5: hit the delete button. Just say No thanks, that's not

294
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 5: for me. Those thoughts telling you you're never gonna accomplish

295
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 5: your dreams, Man, no thanks.

296
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 4: I can do all things through Christ. I am well able.

297
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 5: Those thoughts saying, you know what, you're not good enough,

298
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 5: you're a little bit inferior.

299
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 4: No thanks. I know I'm accepted. I know I've been

300
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 4: approved by Almighty God.

301
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 5: Well, you're never gonna get out of debt, You're never

302
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 5: gonna get ahead financially.

303
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 4: No thanks.

304
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 5: I know everything I touch prospers and succeeds. I know

305
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 5: God's making a way even when it looks like there

306
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 5: is no way. All right, how about this one, man,

307
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 5: God's not pleased at you. You're never gonna be blessed.

308
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 4: No thanks.

309
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 5: I know God's not mad at me. God's madly in

310
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 5: love with me. I know my past is forgiven, my

311
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 5: future is right. So I'm stepping into a new season.

312
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 5: I like what Carl Lewis did. He won several Olympic

313
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 5: gold medals in the long jump, and for years while

314
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 5: he was training, all the experts said that a person

315
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 5: would never be able to jump over thirty feet. The

316
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 5: scientists had studied it and ran their calculations. According to

317
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 5: the research, no one would ever be able to jump

318
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 5: that far. One day, a reporter asked Carl Lewis what

319
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 5: he thought about it. He said, yes, I know all

320
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 5: the experts say that it's impossible, but I don't listen.

321
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 4: To that kind of talk.

322
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 5: I know thoughts like that have a way of slipping

323
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 5: down to my feet. He was saying, if I dwell

324
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 5: on that long enough, I know it's going to convince

325
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 5: me that I can't do it. And if I don't

326
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 5: think I can do it, I know I'll never be

327
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 5: able to do it. He was exactly right. If you

328
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 5: don't have the victory on the inside, you'll never have

329
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 5: it on the outside. Later that year, he went on

330
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 5: to jump over thirty feet and break the world record.

331
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 4: Let me ask you today, are you.

332
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 5: Allowing thoughts to sink down to your feet, to your emotions,

333
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 5: to your ability to stifle your potential? Now learn to

334
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 5: do like he did and start hitting the delete button.

335
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 5: All the experts may have told you how impossible it

336
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 5: is and how it's never going to get any better,

337
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 5: but know this, God always has the final say, and

338
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 5: God would not have put that dream in your heart

339
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 5: if he didn't already have a way to bring it

340
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 5: to pass. He wouldn't have given you that promise if

341
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 5: he wasn't already planning on fulfilling it. This is one

342
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 5: thing that I loved about my father. My dad grew

343
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 5: up in extreme poverty. They had no money, He had

344
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 5: no education, no future to speak of.

345
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 4: He could have just settled right there.

346
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 5: He had been programmed for defeat, program for mediocrity, program

347
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 5: for poverty.

348
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 4: He didn't know any better. All he had ever seen

349
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 4: the people.

350
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 5: That raised him, his parents and family. They were good people,

351
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 5: they were loving and kind, but none of them ever made.

352
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 4: Much out of their lives.

353
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 5: My father could have just stayed in that same trap

354
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 5: and thought, this is just who we are, poor defeated people.

355
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 4: This is our lot in life. But thank God, at.

356
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 5: The age of seventeen, when Daddy gave his life to

357
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 5: the Lord, he began to reprogram his thinking. Deep down

358
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 5: in here, something said to him, you were made for

359
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 5: more than this. You weren't created to barely get by.

360
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 5: You weren't created to have to constantly struggle. He could

361
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 5: feel the seeds of greatness stirring in his spirit. But

362
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 5: every voice said it's impossible. Every voice said, you'll never

363
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 5: get out of this environment.

364
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 4: All the odds are against you.

365
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 5: But my father dug his heels in and he didn't

366
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 5: allow those strongholds to take root.

367
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 4: His attitude was.

368
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 5: This is where I am, but this is not who

369
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 5: I am. I may be in defeat, but I am

370
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 5: not defeated. I am a victor and not a victima.

371
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 5: Day after day, he kept hitting the delete button, those

372
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 5: thoughts telling him you have no future.

373
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 4: Delete.

374
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 5: God's plans for me are for good, to give me

375
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 5: a future and a hope.

376
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 4: But you have no money. Delete. God is supplying all

377
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 4: of my needs.

378
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 5: He's making a way when it looks like there is

379
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 5: no way. Yeah, but you don't have the education. It's impossible.

380
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 5: You'll never get out of here. Delete, delete, delete.

381
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 4: God is opening up new doors.

382
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 5: He's bringing the right people into my path. I will

383
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 5: fulfill my destiny. He reprogrammed his thinking with thoughts of faith,

384
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 5: thoughts of hope, thoughts of victory. He broke out of

385
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 5: that defeat. He broke the curse of poverty in our family.

386
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 5: He set a new standard for us to live by.

387
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 5: Who told you you have to stay in the projects.

388
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 5: Who told you the way it's been is the way

389
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 5: it's always going to be Who told you you can't

390
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 5: accomplish your dreams, Who told you you'll never break that addiction? Friends,

391
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 5: You've got to start hitting the delete button. You've got

392
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 5: to start programming your mind with the favor, with the victory,

393
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 5: with the blessings that rightfully belong to you. It doesn't

394
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 5: matter what it looks like in the natural. You may

395
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 5: have a thousand things coming against you. You may have

396
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 5: a thousand excuses in the natural to just stay where

397
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 5: you are.

398
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 4: But I'm asking you to do like.

399
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 5: My father and break out that defeated mentality and start

400
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 5: believing that you're gonna rise above every challenge.

401
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 4: You're gonna overcome every obstacle. You are not gonna settle.

402
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 5: For mediocrity, but you're gonna accomplish every dream, every desire

403
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 5: God to put in your heart. Can you get a

404
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 5: vision for it?

405
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 4: It all starts on the inside.

406
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 5: It's good to ask God to show us if we

407
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 5: have mindsets that are holding us back. A lot of

408
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 5: times we don't even know why we think like we think.

409
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 5: We just accept it again, it's because of the way

410
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 5: we were raised or what we saw.

411
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 4: Model growing up.

412
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 5: But that doesn't necessarily mean that it's right. We have

413
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 5: to be bold enough to ask why do I think

414
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 5: this way? Why do I think.

415
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 4: I could never be in management?

416
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 5: Why do I think I can't write that book that

417
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 5: God's put in me. Why do I think I'll never

418
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 5: go to college? Why do I think I wouldn't be

419
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 5: a good parent. Those are strongholds very often that had

420
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 5: been passed down for generations. The problem is we just

421
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 5: accept it. We take it as the final say. If

422
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 5: we could just realize why we think like we think

423
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 5: very often, that would set a spree. I heard about

424
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 5: this young couple that had recently gotten married, and the

425
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 5: man noticed that every time his wife cooked a hand,

426
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 5: she cut the ends off of the hand. He thought

427
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 5: that was kind of strange and wondered why she would

428
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 5: waste the hand like that. And one day, while his

429
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 5: wife was making a hand, he got his nerve up

430
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 5: and said, honey, why do you cut the ends off

431
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 5: of the hand. She got kind of defensive and said, well,

432
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 5: my mother made the best hams in the world, and

433
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 5: she always cut the ends off the ham. He said, well,

434
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 5: that's fine, but do you know why she did it?

435
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 5: She said, I have no idea. He said, can we

436
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 5: call your mother. She said sure, So they called the

437
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 5: mother and he explained it, my wife's cutting the ends

438
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 5: of the ham off, and she said she does it

439
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 5: because you always did it. Can you tell me why

440
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 5: you cut the ends of the ham off? The mother

441
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 5: got kind of defensive. She said, well, my mother made

442
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 5: the best hands in all the world, and she always

443
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 5: cut the ends of her ham off. He said, well,

444
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 5: that's fine, but do you know why she did it?

445
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 5: She said, I have no idea. He said, well, can

446
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 5: we call grandmother?

447
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 4: Sure?

448
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 5: So they call the grandmother and he explained how my

449
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 5: wife cuts the end of the ham off of She said,

450
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 5: she does it because your daughter did it. And your

451
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 5: daughter said she does it because you do it. Grandmama,

452
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 5: Can you tell us why you cut the ends of

453
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 5: your ham off? She said, yeah, that's easy because my

454
00:22:54,560 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 5: pant is too small. Let me ask you today, are

455
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 5: you cutting the ends off and you don't even know why?

456
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 5: Are you just accepting things because that's the way it's

457
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 5: always been. I'll never be successful, Joe, Nobody in my

458
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 5: family's ever been successful.

459
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 4: Why not? That's a stronghold. You can get a bigger pen.

460
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 5: Your parents, your grandparents, they've paid the price. So you

461
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 5: could live better than they. Why don't you step into

462
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 5: a new season. Why aren't you enlarge your thinking? Well,

463
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 5: I grew up in this small house. That's all we're

464
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 5: used to.

465
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 4: Now this is a new day.

466
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 5: God wants you to leave your children more, get a

467
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 5: bigger vision.

468
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 4: Hit delete on those limited dreams.

469
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 5: Well, I'm negative, I'm depressed, I'm discouraged, Joel, because my

470
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 5: mother was always this way.

471
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 4: Now you've got to make up your mind.

472
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 5: You're not gonna pass the same things down. Set a

473
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 5: new standard.

474
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 4: Ask yourself, why do I think like this? Could it be?

475
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 5: You've allowed a stronghold of form and you don't even

476
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 5: realize that it's a stronghold. It's just the way it's

477
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 5: always been. Things like I'm not planning to go to college.

478
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 5: Nobody in my family's going to college, Joel. Or I'm overweight,

479
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 5: I'm out of shape because everybody in my family's overweight

480
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 5: and out of shape. I've got low self esteem. I'm

481
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 5: insecure because that's.

482
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 4: All I've ever seen. No, don't just accept it. Reprogram

483
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 4: your software. The way it's been is not the way

484
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 4: it has to stay.

485
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 5: I heard about this large dog she was pregnant with puppies,

486
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 5: and one day the dog was running across the street.

487
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 5: She got hit by a car and both of her

488
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 5: back legs were broken. The dog just dragged herself out

489
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 5: of the street and back to the little home where

490
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 5: she stayed. As the weeks went by, she began to

491
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 5: slowly recover. Her back legs had finally healed up, but

492
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 5: because they were never properly reset, she had never gone

493
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 5: to the veterinarian. Now when she walked, she would just

494
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 5: drag her back legs. She couldn't walk properly. The joints

495
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 5: were messed up, the legs were off stiff. The only

496
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 5: way she could get around is just basically to pull

497
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 5: her back legs along behind her.

498
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 4: Well.

499
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 5: Eventually the little puppies were born. They seemed to be

500
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 5: healthy and home. They were running around playing here and there.

501
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 5: But about three weeks after their birth, they begin to

502
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 5: notice that the puppies were walking just like their mother.

503
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 5: They were dragging their back legs. They thought possibly they

504
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 5: had been hurt in the accident as well. They took

505
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 5: the puppies to the vetinarian to have them checked out.

506
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 5: The vet said, there's nothing wrong with these puppies back legs.

507
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 5: They were perfectly normal. What was the problem. Those puppies

508
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 5: were copying their mother. They didn't know any better. In

509
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 5: their mind, that's the way they were supposed to walk.

510
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 5: That's all they'd ever seen modeled. Many times, that's just

511
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 5: what's happened to us. We don't even realize it. But

512
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 5: the reason we do things, our attitude, our mindsets, the

513
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 5: way we respond, is because we're emulating what we saw

514
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 5: growing up. The people that raised us, the people we were.

515
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 5: Now we're copying their same behavior. And maybe they were

516
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 5: good people, but perhaps they had issues that they weren't

517
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 5: dealing with. And if we're not careful, we'll take their

518
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 5: same issues and pass them down to our children. They

519
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 5: had addictions, now we have addictions. They had low self esteem,

520
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 5: Now we have low self esteem. They always dragged their

521
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 5: back legs, Now we're dragging our back legs. You may

522
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 5: be struggling with things right now, you think, why do

523
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 5: I think like this?

524
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 4: Why do I have these issues?

525
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 5: But it's very freeing to realize, just like those puppies,

526
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 5: there's nothing wrong with your back legs.

527
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 4: That's simply a wrong mindset that you've allowed to form.

528
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 5: Now as you get your thinking straightened, out, Your legs

529
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 5: will straighten out. Understand, God didn't make you faulty. He

530
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 5: didn't make you less than He created you in his image.

531
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 5: He made you as his own masterpiece. He has crowned

532
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 5: you with honor and favor. He has equipped you with talent, creativity, potential.

533
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 5: Don't you dare go around dragging your back legs. You're

534
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 5: not supposed to go through life with addictions, little dreams,

535
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 5: low self esteem, a defeated mindset. That's not who you

536
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 5: really are. That may be the way you've been trained.

537
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 5: But the good news is you can be retrained. You

538
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 5: can renew your mind. And as you do this, you'll

539
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 5: learn not only to walk correctly, but you'll begin to run.

540
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 5: You'll break out of bondages and you're gonna step into freedom.

541
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 5: You'll break out of mediocrity and you're gonna step into excellence.

542
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 5: You'll break out of barely getting by, and you're gonna

543
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 5: step into abundance. Why don't you make a decision with

544
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 5: me today that you're gonna step into a new season.

545
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 5: You're stepping into promotion. You're stepping into better health, You're

546
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 5: stepping into confidence, You're stepping into strength. You're stepping into

547
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 5: supernatural opportunities. You've got to make room for it in

548
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 5: your thinking. It all starts right here and some of you.

549
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 5: If you just get rid of one wrong mindset, one

550
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 5: wrong thought, you'd get your equilibrium back and you'd go

551
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 5: to a whole new level. You got to examine your

552
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 5: thought life. Be willing to ask why do I think

553
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 5: like this? Why do I have these issues? And when

554
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 5: you find those strongholds, be quick to hit the delete button,

Speaker 8: Did you know you can be happier enjoying watermelon?

594
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 2: Eighty two percent of consumers agree eating watermelon boost their mood.

595
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 8: Savor a slice pool side, toss into a salad, blends

596
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 8: into a chilled summer smoothie, whether you eat the fruit

597
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 8: or drink the juice, anyway you slice it. Eating watermelon

Speaker 8: one hundred percent makes you feel happy.

Speaker 8: Out the Slice of Happy project at watermelon dot org.

602
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,959
Speaker 9: With millions of books on Amazon, there's a reading feeling

603
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 9: for everyone. For example, Raquel's WHOA when she first entered

604
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 9: the Kingdom by Dragonback is different to Ari's WHOA when

605
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 9: he found out there was more than more crime scene,

606
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 9: which is also different to Ava's who the moment when

607
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 9: the stable Boy became a stable man from two Amazon

608
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 9: books that reading feeling awaits
