You get up this morning ready to 40 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 4: embrace the day leave that you did. But you know, 41 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 4: there's too many people that allow their circumstance to dictate 42 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 4: their attitude. They don't even realize that their attitude is 43 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 4: a choice that they make every single day. See, the 44 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 4: Bible tells us to consistently and constantly put on this 45 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 4: fresh new mental attitude. See we choose the way we 46 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 4: see life. We can either look at what's good in 47 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 4: life and decide to be grateful about that, or we 48 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 4: can look at what didn't work out and how things 49 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 4: didn't go our way and allow it to give us 50 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 4: a negative perspective on life. We've all heard that saying 51 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 4: the glass half full or the glass half empty. You 52 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 4: see that saying is so timeless because it makes such 53 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 4: an amazing point. See, the water in the glass is 54 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 4: the same amount. It's just how one chooses to see 55 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 4: the water that makes all the difference in the world. 56 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 4: I know this girl that kind of always had a 57 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 4: bend towards negative. You could ask her how you doing today, 58 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 4: and it was almost funny. You could predict she was 59 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 4: going to start telling you the things that were going 60 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 4: wrong in her life. One day, she said, oh, I 61 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 4: was late to work. I had to take my children 62 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 4: to the doctor. The doctor didn't open till nine o'clock. 63 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 4: She said, Now I have to stay late at the 64 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 4: office because there's so much work for me to do. 65 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 4: And you know, you're listening to this and it almost 66 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 4: makes you grin because you're thinking you're kidding. Right. Then 67 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 4: she goes on to say, my house is a disaster 68 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 4: when I get home late from work. My husband doesn't 69 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 4: know how to work the vacuum cleaner, he doesn't know 70 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 4: to how to work the dishwasher, on and on, And 71 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 4: you know, when you listen to this, you realize, you 72 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 4: know what, she probably got a pretty good husband. In fact, 73 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 4: I know her husband, and he's a good man. He 74 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 4: has a good job, he will works hard, he loves 75 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 4: to take the kids out on Saturdays, and she can 76 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 4: have the whole house to herself. But instead of looking 77 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 4: at the richness in her life, she chooses to look 78 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 4: at the negative. And when you begin to focus on 79 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 4: the negative, you know what you see more negative. And 80 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 4: when you see this negative, it's like swimming against the current. 81 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 4: It's just a struggle. It's difficult and it's hard. I 82 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 4: believe that we need to learn how to manage our thoughts. 83 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 4: We need to learn how to rearrange our thoughts so 84 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 4: that we can literally see what we have and then 85 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 4: enjoy what we have. The other day, I walked past 86 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 4: one room in my house. It's my living room, and 87 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 4: sometimes when I go in there, I think I don't 88 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 4: like the way this room looks. In fact, I thought 89 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 4: I wish I could just get rid of all this 90 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 4: furniture and start over that would be so amazing. I 91 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 4: all found myself walking by the past the room several times, 92 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 4: you know, as the days went on, and looking in 93 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 4: there and having just a really negative attitude towards that room, 94 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 4: almost like ugh. And then I realized, I'm not going 95 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 4: to be getting any new furniture anytime soon, so I 96 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 4: better just go in there and rearrange the furniture. So 97 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 4: I began shifting the furniture, putting towels under the legs 98 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 4: of the couch. How many of you women pulling that 99 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 4: couch scooting everything around, you know. By the time I 100 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 4: finally finished, I stepped back and I looked at that 101 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 4: room and I thought, I like this room. This looks 102 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 4: really good. I went and got myself a cup of tea, 103 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 4: sat on the couch. I thought, I've never seen that 104 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,239 Speaker 4: piece of furniture from that perspective. That really looks good. 105 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 4: The way that curves around there. You see, I was 106 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,559 Speaker 4: able to have a fresh new attitude about that room. 107 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 4: I was able to see it differently because I rearranged it. 108 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 4: And just the way I rearranged my furniture, we need 109 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 4: to rearrange our thoughts. We need to push our thoughts 110 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 4: around so our thoughts don't push us around. You know, 111 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 4: when you get down and discouraged, you need to recognize 112 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 4: what it is and you need to stop and think 113 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 4: what am I thinking about? And I think oftentimes we 114 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 4: need to rearrange our thoughts in simple ways. One, we 115 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 4: need to be grateful, but sometimes we just need to 116 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 4: change the atmosphere that we're in. Have you ever been 117 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 4: working in the office and you're you're tired, and you think, 118 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 4: you know what I just need to break? Maybe you 119 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 4: need to walk outside and begin to look at the 120 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 4: trees and the sunshine and the sky, and the buds 121 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 4: on the flower, the texture of the bark, and begin 122 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 4: to just say, isn't that beautiful what God has created? 123 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 4: To just stop and think about something differently, you see. 124 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 4: I believe sometimes if we'll simply just change our routine, 125 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 4: maybe there's some things that we're doing that we need 126 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 4: to not be doing anymore. A friend of mine said 127 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 4: that every day she would go out to lunch with 128 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 4: the same group of people, and she loved her friends 129 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 4: and all, but when she got back to work, it 130 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 4: was just like, oh man, I've got half a day 131 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 4: to go. She made this conscious decision. She said, you know, 132 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 4: I don't like the way I'm feeling about my job. 133 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 4: How I'm just being so mundane about it. She said, 134 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 4: I'm going to choose a few new people to go 135 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 4: to lunch with. So she looked around her office and 136 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 4: she asked some different people to go to lunch with her. 137 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,239 Speaker 4: In fact, she got a new little group, and she said, 138 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 4: I had so much fun just getting in a new 139 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 4: group of people, listening to their ideas, their jokes, the 140 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 4: way they were. She said. I came back to work 141 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 4: and she said, I had a new perspective. I was 142 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 4: ready to tackle that day. It was so refreshing. You see, 143 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 4: sometimes we just need to get a new outlook on 144 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 4: what we already have. I heard about this man who 145 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 4: was really down, He was really discouraged. He went to 146 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 4: one of his pastors at the church and he told him, 147 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 4: he said, my life is just I just don't have 148 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 4: anything good going on. My life is just a wreck. 149 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 4: The pastor said, come on into my office and let's 150 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 4: just sit down and talk a little bit. The pastor 151 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 4: pulled out this legal pad of paper. He drew a 152 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 4: line down the center of it, and he said, let's 153 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 4: take this little test. He said, on the right side, 154 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 4: I'm going to put all your assets, all the things 155 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 4: that are good in your life. On the left side, 156 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 4: I'm going to put your challenges, your problems, your disappointments. 157 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 4: The man just kind of hung his head and he said, 158 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 4: you know, I'm not going to have anything right in 159 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 4: my life. The pastor said, let's just go ahead and 160 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 4: take the test. He said, you know, I am so 161 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 4: sorry to hear that your wife passed away. He looked 162 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 4: up and he said, my wife didn't pass away. She's 163 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 4: alive and she's healthy. He said, really, He wrote on 164 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 4: the right side of the page, wife alive and healthy. 165 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 4: He said, that's a shame that your house burnt down. 166 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 4: The man looked at him, said, what are you talking about. 167 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 4: My house didn't burn down. I'm living in my house. 168 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 4: He said, oh. He wrote on the right side of 169 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 4: the page, living in a house. The man said, where 170 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 4: are you getting all this ridiculous information. The pastor looked 171 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 4: at him, and then he wised up and he realized 172 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 4: he's trying to show me a new perspective, a new 173 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 4: way of thinking. By the time they finished their little session, 174 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 4: that man had listed several things on the right side 175 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 4: of the page that was right in his life, and 176 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 4: he left out of there with a good attitude and 177 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 4: a spring in his step. Amen, have you ever heard 178 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 4: that saying that says your attitude determines your altitude? What 179 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 4: that means is is there our attitudes have a direct 180 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 4: correlation with the success in our life. Have you ever 181 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 4: met somebody with just a good attitude. They always saw 182 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 4: the solutions and not the problems. They felt like they 183 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 4: could tackle anything. It makes you want to just be 184 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 4: around that person. See, your attitude can determine your altitude. 185 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 4: All of you know the story about Joshua and Caleb. 186 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 4: They were two of the twelve spies that Moses picked 187 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 4: to go into Canaan, which was the promised land that 188 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 4: God had promised the Israelites when they left Egypt. And 189 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 4: so Joshua and Caleb and ten other spies were directed 190 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 4: by Moses to go into Canaan and to buy out 191 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 4: the land, to see what the cities were like, see 192 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 4: what the people were like, look at the vegetation. He 193 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 4: even said, bring back some of the vegetation, so we 194 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 4: can see what the soil is like and what it's producing. 195 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 4: So the twelve men went into the land of Canaan. 196 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 4: They were there for forty days. They collected these huge grapes, 197 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 4: they saw these amazing pomegranates, They saw the people. They 198 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 4: wandered around for forty days, and when they got back 199 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 4: to the camp, every one of those men said, the 200 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 4: land is rich. It is indeed land that is flowing 201 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 4: with milk and honey, just like we have heard. But 202 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 4: the difference was that ten of those men took what 203 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 4: they saw and they perceived it different. They perceived it 204 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 4: as it was great land. It was flowing with milk 205 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 4: and honey. But there are giants in the land. The 206 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 4: cities have huge walls around them. Will never be able 207 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 4: to conquer those people because they're way bigger than we are. 208 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 4: In comparison to us, we look like grasshoppers in our 209 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 4: own site. They begin to take what they perceived and 210 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 4: spread it throughout the whole camp two million people. Can 211 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 4: you imagine they just went in and spread that. Well, 212 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 4: when Joshua and Caleb said, we saw the same thing. 213 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 4: The land is good. It is what God said it was. 214 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 4: We need to go up right now and we need 215 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 4: to take that land at once. And if God is 216 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 4: pleased with us. We'll be successful. Ten spies saw the 217 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 4: glass half empty, where two spies saw the glass half full. 218 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 4: It's amazing how your attitude can affect what you see. 219 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 4: Joshua and Caleb, although they had a good report, that 220 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 4: good report was not good enough to diffuse the negative 221 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 4: rumors that had spread throughout all the people. It was 222 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 4: so negative that the Bible says they were crying and 223 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 4: complaining and murmuring, saying, can we just go back to Egypt? 224 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 4: And do you know the Lord told Moses, he said, 225 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 4: every one of you are going to go back to 226 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 4: Egypt because of your bad attitude. You're murmuring, you're complaining 227 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 4: your perception of who I am in your life. But 228 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 4: the point of my story, and the one that I 229 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 4: really want us to see today, is this that God 230 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 4: gave Joshua and Caleb a second chance to enter the 231 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 4: Promised Land. The Bible says that the forty days that 232 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 4: those men were examining the Promised Land, that's how long 233 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 4: that the children at Israel were going to wonder in 234 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 4: the wilderness. One year for every day they were going 235 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 4: to wonder forty years in the wilderness. Now, can I 236 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 4: tell you the ones with the good report, Joshua and Caleb, 237 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 4: the ones with the attitude, if we can take the land. 238 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 4: They also had to wonder in the wilderness for forty years, 239 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 4: but the Bible says this about them. They were of 240 00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 4: a different spirit. One version says, an excellent spirit. So 241 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 4: when it was their opportunity after forty years to take 242 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 4: the younger generation into the promised Land, this is what 243 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 4: Caleb said. He said, listen, I'm stronger and I'm more 244 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 4: determined than ever to take this land. When they thrived 245 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 4: in the wilderness for forty years, the rest of them 246 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 4: died in the wilderness. Can I tell you when you 247 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 4: have a perception of who God is, when you can 248 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 4: look out over your situation and you can have a 249 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 4: good attitude, using what you have and valuing what you have, 250 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 4: you can make it through the struggles of life. You 251 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 4: can make it through the wilderness moments better off and 252 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 4: more determined than you ever thought you were. When Joshua 253 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 4: and Caleb were about to go in, this is what 254 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 4: they spoke to the younger generation. This was their mantra, 255 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 4: their leadership vision. They said, God, I can only imagine 256 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 4: He looked at all them and he said choose ye 257 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 4: this day who you will serve, he would say, in 258 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 4: every day, choose your attitude. Every day you can choose 259 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 4: the way you see life. Choose today how you're gonna 260 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 4: see this journey into the Promised Land. And he said, 261 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 4: for me and my house, we're going to serve the Lord. 262 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 4: We're gonna choose to overlook a fence. We're gonna choose 263 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 4: to quiet the discourageing voices that we try to come 264 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 4: against us. We're gonna choose to believe that God is 265 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 4: a big God, and we're going to hope on in faith. 266 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 4: You see. I believe when we take inventory of our thoughts, 267 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 4: we will be like Joshua and Caleb. In fact, we'll 268 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 4: outlast anything that the enemy is trying to come against 269 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 4: us with, and we'll go in and we'll take the 270 00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 4: land that God has given us. Amen. Hey man, He's 271 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 4: an awesome God. 272 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 5: Thank you for listening to the Joelostine podcast.
