<v Speaker 4>Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 4>this podcast. I believe God has amazing things in your future.

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 4>I hope you enjoy this message. Thank you Father nowhere

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 4>here and in your love. Amen. So how's your outlook

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 4>on life today? You get up this morning ready to

0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 4>embrace the day leave that you did. But you know,

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 4>there's too many people that allow their circumstance to dictate

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 4>their attitude. They don't even realize that their attitude is

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 4>a choice that they make every single day. See, the

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:22.799
<v Speaker 4>Bible tells us to consistently and constantly put on this

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 4>fresh new mental attitude. See we choose the way we

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.360
<v Speaker 4>see life. We can either look at what's good in

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 4>life and decide to be grateful about that, or we

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.079
<v Speaker 4>can look at what didn't work out and how things

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.520
<v Speaker 4>didn't go our way and allow it to give us

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 4>a negative perspective on life. We've all heard that saying

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 4>the glass half full or the glass half empty. You

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 4>see that saying is so timeless because it makes such

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 4>an amazing point. See, the water in the glass is

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 4>the same amount. It's just how one chooses to see

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 4>the water that makes all the difference in the world.

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 4>I know this girl that kind of always had a

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 4>bend towards negative. You could ask her how you doing today,

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 4>and it was almost funny. You could predict she was

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.079
<v Speaker 4>going to start telling you the things that were going

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 4>wrong in her life. One day, she said, oh, I

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 4>was late to work. I had to take my children

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 4>to the doctor. The doctor didn't open till nine o'clock.

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 4>She said, Now I have to stay late at the

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.639
<v Speaker 4>office because there's so much work for me to do.

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:33.800
<v Speaker 4>And you know, you're listening to this and it almost

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 4>makes you grin because you're thinking you're kidding. Right. Then

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 4>she goes on to say, my house is a disaster

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 4>when I get home late from work. My husband doesn't

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 4>know how to work the vacuum cleaner, he doesn't know

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:49.320
<v Speaker 4>to how to work the dishwasher, on and on, And

0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 4>you know, when you listen to this, you realize, you

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.360
<v Speaker 4>know what, she probably got a pretty good husband. In fact,

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 4>I know her husband, and he's a good man. He

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 4>has a good job, he will works hard, he loves

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 4>to take the kids out on Saturdays, and she can

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 4>have the whole house to herself. But instead of looking

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 4>at the richness in her life, she chooses to look

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 4>at the negative. And when you begin to focus on

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 4>the negative, you know what you see more negative. And

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 4>when you see this negative, it's like swimming against the current.

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 4>It's just a struggle. It's difficult and it's hard. I

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.800
<v Speaker 4>believe that we need to learn how to manage our thoughts.

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 4>We need to learn how to rearrange our thoughts so

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 4>that we can literally see what we have and then

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 4>enjoy what we have. The other day, I walked past

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 4>one room in my house. It's my living room, and

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 4>sometimes when I go in there, I think I don't

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.920
<v Speaker 4>like the way this room looks. In fact, I thought

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 4>I wish I could just get rid of all this

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 4>furniture and start over that would be so amazing. I

0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 4>all found myself walking by the past the room several times,

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 4>you know, as the days went on, and looking in

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 4>there and having just a really negative attitude towards that room,

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:10.160
<v Speaker 4>almost like ugh. And then I realized, I'm not going

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.919
<v Speaker 4>to be getting any new furniture anytime soon, so I

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 4>better just go in there and rearrange the furniture. So

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 4>I began shifting the furniture, putting towels under the legs

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 4>of the couch. How many of you women pulling that

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:27.720
<v Speaker 4>couch scooting everything around, you know. By the time I

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:32.160
<v Speaker 4>finally finished, I stepped back and I looked at that

0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 4>room and I thought, I like this room. This looks

0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 4>really good. I went and got myself a cup of tea,

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 4>sat on the couch. I thought, I've never seen that

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.239
<v Speaker 4>piece of furniture from that perspective. That really looks good.

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 4>The way that curves around there. You see, I was

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.559
<v Speaker 4>able to have a fresh new attitude about that room.

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:56.600
<v Speaker 4>I was able to see it differently because I rearranged it.

0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 4>And just the way I rearranged my furniture, we need

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 4>to rearrange our thoughts. We need to push our thoughts

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 4>around so our thoughts don't push us around. You know,

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 4>when you get down and discouraged, you need to recognize

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.880
<v Speaker 4>what it is and you need to stop and think

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 4>what am I thinking about? And I think oftentimes we

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 4>need to rearrange our thoughts in simple ways. One, we

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.919
<v Speaker 4>need to be grateful, but sometimes we just need to

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.360
<v Speaker 4>change the atmosphere that we're in. Have you ever been

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:32.039
<v Speaker 4>working in the office and you're you're tired, and you think,

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 4>you know what I just need to break? Maybe you

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.039
<v Speaker 4>need to walk outside and begin to look at the

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 4>trees and the sunshine and the sky, and the buds

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 4>on the flower, the texture of the bark, and begin

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 4>to just say, isn't that beautiful what God has created?

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 4>To just stop and think about something differently, you see.

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 4>I believe sometimes if we'll simply just change our routine,

0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 4>maybe there's some things that we're doing that we need

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 4>to not be doing anymore. A friend of mine said

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.919
<v Speaker 4>that every day she would go out to lunch with

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.400
<v Speaker 4>the same group of people, and she loved her friends

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.520
<v Speaker 4>and all, but when she got back to work, it

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 4>was just like, oh man, I've got half a day

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 4>to go. She made this conscious decision. She said, you know,

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 4>I don't like the way I'm feeling about my job.

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 4>How I'm just being so mundane about it. She said,

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to choose a few new people to go

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 4>to lunch with. So she looked around her office and

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 4>she asked some different people to go to lunch with her.

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.239
<v Speaker 4>In fact, she got a new little group, and she said,

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 4>I had so much fun just getting in a new

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 4>group of people, listening to their ideas, their jokes, the

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 4>way they were. She said. I came back to work

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 4>and she said, I had a new perspective. I was

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:51.240
<v Speaker 4>ready to tackle that day. It was so refreshing. You see,

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 4>sometimes we just need to get a new outlook on

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 4>what we already have. I heard about this man who

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 4>was really down, He was really discouraged. He went to

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 4>one of his pastors at the church and he told him,

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 4>he said, my life is just I just don't have

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.640
<v Speaker 4>anything good going on. My life is just a wreck.

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 4>The pastor said, come on into my office and let's

0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 4>just sit down and talk a little bit. The pastor

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 4>pulled out this legal pad of paper. He drew a

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:19.680
<v Speaker 4>line down the center of it, and he said, let's

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 4>take this little test. He said, on the right side,

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to put all your assets, all the things

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 4>that are good in your life. On the left side,

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:31.360
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to put your challenges, your problems, your disappointments.

0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 4>The man just kind of hung his head and he said,

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:35.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, I'm not going to have anything right in

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.440
<v Speaker 4>my life. The pastor said, let's just go ahead and

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.720
<v Speaker 4>take the test. He said, you know, I am so

0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 4>sorry to hear that your wife passed away. He looked

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 4>up and he said, my wife didn't pass away. She's

0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 4>alive and she's healthy. He said, really, He wrote on

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:54.679
<v Speaker 4>the right side of the page, wife alive and healthy.

0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 4>He said, that's a shame that your house burnt down.

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.320
<v Speaker 4>The man looked at him, said, what are you talking about.

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 4>My house didn't burn down. I'm living in my house.

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 4>He said, oh. He wrote on the right side of

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 4>the page, living in a house. The man said, where

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 4>are you getting all this ridiculous information. The pastor looked

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 4>at him, and then he wised up and he realized

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 4>he's trying to show me a new perspective, a new

0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 4>way of thinking. By the time they finished their little session,

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 4>that man had listed several things on the right side

0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 4>of the page that was right in his life, and

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 4>he left out of there with a good attitude and

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 4>a spring in his step. Amen, have you ever heard

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:46.280
<v Speaker 4>that saying that says your attitude determines your altitude? What

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 4>that means is is there our attitudes have a direct

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:53.640
<v Speaker 4>correlation with the success in our life. Have you ever

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 4>met somebody with just a good attitude. They always saw

0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 4>the solutions and not the problems. They felt like they

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.200
<v Speaker 4>could tackle anything. It makes you want to just be

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:08.559
<v Speaker 4>around that person. See, your attitude can determine your altitude.

0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.319
<v Speaker 4>All of you know the story about Joshua and Caleb.

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:16.600
<v Speaker 4>They were two of the twelve spies that Moses picked

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 4>to go into Canaan, which was the promised land that

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:24.200
<v Speaker 4>God had promised the Israelites when they left Egypt. And

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:27.960
<v Speaker 4>so Joshua and Caleb and ten other spies were directed

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:32.320
<v Speaker 4>by Moses to go into Canaan and to buy out

0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 4>the land, to see what the cities were like, see

0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.360
<v Speaker 4>what the people were like, look at the vegetation. He

0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 4>even said, bring back some of the vegetation, so we

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 4>can see what the soil is like and what it's producing.

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.480
<v Speaker 4>So the twelve men went into the land of Canaan.

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:53.040
<v Speaker 4>They were there for forty days. They collected these huge grapes,

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 4>they saw these amazing pomegranates, They saw the people. They

0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.840
<v Speaker 4>wandered around for forty days, and when they got back

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 4>to the camp, every one of those men said, the

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 4>land is rich. It is indeed land that is flowing

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:14.080
<v Speaker 4>with milk and honey, just like we have heard. But

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 4>the difference was that ten of those men took what

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:24.040
<v Speaker 4>they saw and they perceived it different. They perceived it

0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 4>as it was great land. It was flowing with milk

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.680
<v Speaker 4>and honey. But there are giants in the land. The

0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:35.160
<v Speaker 4>cities have huge walls around them. Will never be able

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 4>to conquer those people because they're way bigger than we are.

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.600
<v Speaker 4>In comparison to us, we look like grasshoppers in our

0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:47.720
<v Speaker 4>own site. They begin to take what they perceived and

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:52.400
<v Speaker 4>spread it throughout the whole camp two million people. Can

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 4>you imagine they just went in and spread that. Well,

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 4>when Joshua and Caleb said, we saw the same thing.

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 4>The land is good. It is what God said it was.

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 4>We need to go up right now and we need

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:10.040
<v Speaker 4>to take that land at once. And if God is

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 4>pleased with us. We'll be successful. Ten spies saw the

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 4>glass half empty, where two spies saw the glass half full.

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:31.720
<v Speaker 4>It's amazing how your attitude can affect what you see.

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.880
<v Speaker 4>Joshua and Caleb, although they had a good report, that

0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 4>good report was not good enough to diffuse the negative

0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:44.680
<v Speaker 4>rumors that had spread throughout all the people. It was

0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.800
<v Speaker 4>so negative that the Bible says they were crying and

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 4>complaining and murmuring, saying, can we just go back to Egypt?

0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 4>And do you know the Lord told Moses, he said,

0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:58.440
<v Speaker 4>every one of you are going to go back to

0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:02.840
<v Speaker 4>Egypt because of your bad attitude. You're murmuring, you're complaining

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 4>your perception of who I am in your life. But

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 4>the point of my story, and the one that I

0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.959
<v Speaker 4>really want us to see today, is this that God

0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:19.040
<v Speaker 4>gave Joshua and Caleb a second chance to enter the

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:23.400
<v Speaker 4>Promised Land. The Bible says that the forty days that

0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:27.800
<v Speaker 4>those men were examining the Promised Land, that's how long

0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 4>that the children at Israel were going to wonder in

0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:35.240
<v Speaker 4>the wilderness. One year for every day they were going

0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 4>to wonder forty years in the wilderness. Now, can I

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 4>tell you the ones with the good report, Joshua and Caleb,

0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:46.240
<v Speaker 4>the ones with the attitude, if we can take the land.

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 4>They also had to wonder in the wilderness for forty years,

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 4>but the Bible says this about them. They were of

0:13:55.000 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 4>a different spirit. One version says, an excellent spirit. So

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.560
<v Speaker 4>when it was their opportunity after forty years to take

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 4>the younger generation into the promised Land, this is what

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:13.200
<v Speaker 4>Caleb said. He said, listen, I'm stronger and I'm more

0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 4>determined than ever to take this land. When they thrived

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 4>in the wilderness for forty years, the rest of them

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:28.000
<v Speaker 4>died in the wilderness. Can I tell you when you

0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.080
<v Speaker 4>have a perception of who God is, when you can

0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.080
<v Speaker 4>look out over your situation and you can have a

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:38.640
<v Speaker 4>good attitude, using what you have and valuing what you have,

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.200
<v Speaker 4>you can make it through the struggles of life. You

0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.760
<v Speaker 4>can make it through the wilderness moments better off and

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 4>more determined than you ever thought you were. When Joshua

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.320
<v Speaker 4>and Caleb were about to go in, this is what

0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.960
<v Speaker 4>they spoke to the younger generation. This was their mantra,

0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:01.600
<v Speaker 4>their leadership vision. They said, God, I can only imagine

0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:05.560
<v Speaker 4>He looked at all them and he said choose ye

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 4>this day who you will serve, he would say, in

0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:15.160
<v Speaker 4>every day, choose your attitude. Every day you can choose

0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:19.080
<v Speaker 4>the way you see life. Choose today how you're gonna

0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:23.040
<v Speaker 4>see this journey into the Promised Land. And he said,

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 4>for me and my house, we're going to serve the Lord.

0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:30.720
<v Speaker 4>We're gonna choose to overlook a fence. We're gonna choose

0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.720
<v Speaker 4>to quiet the discourageing voices that we try to come

0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:38.720
<v Speaker 4>against us. We're gonna choose to believe that God is

0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.800
<v Speaker 4>a big God, and we're going to hope on in faith.

0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.640
<v Speaker 4>You see. I believe when we take inventory of our thoughts,

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 4>we will be like Joshua and Caleb. In fact, we'll

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:53.440
<v Speaker 4>outlast anything that the enemy is trying to come against

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.080
<v Speaker 4>us with, and we'll go in and we'll take the

0:15:56.160 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 4>land that God has given us. Amen. Hey man, He's

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:01.280
