1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks so much for

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: listening to the podcast.

3
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 2: We appreciate your support and we have a brand new

4
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 2: resource we'd like to send you this month.

5
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: It's called Praying with Confidence. I'll tell you more about

6
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: it at the end of the podcast.

7
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 3: We love you and we sure hope you enjoy the

8
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 3: message we must you in this place. You guys sound

9
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 3: and look amazing. You may be seated.

10
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: I just want to encourage all of us today with

11
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: the scripture that's found in Romans Romans twelve, and this

12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: is Paul talking to the Romans, and he's encouraging them

13
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: and urging them with great fervor to change their minds

14
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: to be more like God.

15
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 3: And he says this.

16
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: He says, do not be conformed to this world, but

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: be transformed by the renewing of your minds.

18
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: See, he knew.

19
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: That God wanted to do something in his people, but

20
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: they couldn't keep thinking the old way and have the

21
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: new things that God wants to do.

22
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 3: You've heard it said like this.

23
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 2: They couldn't put new wine and old wine skins. They

24
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: had to change their mind. And you know what, that's

25
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: the same with us today. We can't be conformed to

26
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 2: this world's culture. We can't be conformed to the wrong

27
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: types of thinking. We have to be transformed by the

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: renewing of our mind. You see, our salvation on this

29
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: earth starts in our mind. If you're born again today,

30
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: if you've given Jesus your life, you're a new creature

31
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 2: in Christ Jesus. And so your spirit has been made new,

32
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: It has come alive in Christ Jesus. The problem is

33
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: our mind needs to catch up with what's going on

34
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: in our spirits.

35
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: All right, but we can do that by not.

36
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: Conforming to our old thinking, but submitting ourself to the

37
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: Word of God, to the teachings of God. You see,

38
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: we are so blessed because we can get the word

39
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: of God at our fingertips. We can google the Word

40
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 2: of God. We can take our phone and get our

41
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 2: Bible apps. We can listen to podcasts. We can turn

42
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: on the internet, we can turn on the TV listen

43
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: we can put our music on our Christian faithful music

44
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: that declares the goodness of God.

45
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 3: We are so blessed. We have to submit and.

46
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 2: Stay under this word of God so that it can

47
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: change our thinking. You see, some people may not have

48
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: been brought up in church. I was brought up in church,

49
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: but you may not be have been. So maybe you

50
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 2: have some things that are contrary to what God wants

51
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 2: you to think today. Some of you have addictions. It's

52
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: contrary to.

53
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: What God has for you today.

54
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: You see, God is saying, don't be conformed by a habit,

55
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: don't be conformed by an addiction.

56
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 3: Don't be conformed by.

57
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: The cultures of this world, the way this world thinks,

58
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. You

59
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: have the choice of what you listen to, of what

60
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: you put yourself under. And God is saying, renew your mind,

61
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: change your mind, get into what I have for you.

62
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 2: You see, I talk to people all the time who

63
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: have an addiction, and they are struggling to break the addiction.

64
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: And what I tell them is just don't stay down,

65
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: get back up, put yourself under the.

66
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: Word of God.

67
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: And those strongholds, those things that are trying to hold

68
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: you back, they can't stand up against the word of God.

69
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: It's only a matter of time before your mind catches

70
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: up with what the spirit is doing. In Ephesians, the

71
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: Bible says, to him who is able to do exceedingly

72
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: abundantly above all we can ask, think, or imagine. I

73
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: love that God can do anything. But listen to the

74
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: second part, according to the power that works in us. See,

75
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: God is saying, when you transform your mind, you line

76
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: your mind up with the power that's in you. See,

77
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: there's power in a made up mind. There's power in

78
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: a mind that says, no, I'm not staying here. I'm

79
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: on my way to greater places. I'm on my way

80
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: to God's destination. I'm not gonna be held down by

81
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: always in old patterns of thinking.

82
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 3: You see.

83
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: I think about the apostle Paul, and he was so

84
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: passionate to let them know by the mercies of God,

85
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: by the grace of God, this can happen for you.

86
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 2: You see, people they drink drinks to detox their body.

87
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 2: Have you ever heard somebody say, you know, drink this

88
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: for five days and it'll get all the junk out

89
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: of your body. You know. They say that the stuff

90
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: we eat, even the water we drink, toxins in it.

91
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 2: So people want to be healthy, they want to detox

92
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: their body. Listen, when you read the word of God

93
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: and put yourself under the word of God, you're detoxing

94
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: your mind. You're dislodging strongholds, your weakening their grip on you. Listen,

95
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: you're in a battle. You're in a battle, and it's

96
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 2: time to stand up and fight.

97
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: It's time to.

98
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: Say, I'm not gonna let the wrong words come out

99
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 2: of my mouth.

100
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna let my way of thinking stop me.

101
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: I've heard people who are fighting illnesses and they listen

102
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 2: to the word of God constantly. They've constantly got it going,

103
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: whether they have the Word of God, whether they have

104
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: a good teaching, whether they have joel, whether they have praise,

105
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: they are constantly bathing and sanctifying their mind in the

106
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: word of God. See, we're justified in our spirit, but

107
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 2: we have to be sanctified in our mind.

108
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: That means we have to set our mind apart from

109
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: the way.

110
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: Of doing be and we have to get in God's

111
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 2: way of doing and being. You see, if we want

112
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: to know God's will, we're going to have to know

113
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: God's way. Now, he was telling them, don't be conformed,

114
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: but be transformed. And he was saying, this is a process.

115
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: Don't get down on yourself. It's a process. And then

116
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: he went on to say this. He says, do not

117
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the

118
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 2: renewing of your mind, that by testing you may be

119
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: able to discern the will of.

120
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 3: God for your life. What is pleasing, right and acceptable?

121
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: How many of you want to know the will of

122
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 3: God for your life? I want to know the will

123
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 3: of God for my life. I want to know the

124
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: will of God for my life.

125
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 2: And God is saying, through this transformation, through this new

126
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: way of thinking, you can take all these choices and

127
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: you can put them under the scrutiny of what you know.

128
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: You can test it and see shall I make it

129
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: or shall I not? Shall I choose it, or shall

130
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 2: I go the other way? See, you can put the

131
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 2: choices you make every day under the scrutiny of the

132
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: word of God.

133
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 4: See.

134
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: God wants us to walk in confidence before him. He

135
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: wants us to know what his will is, so we'll

136
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: know what way to go. It's kind of like taking

137
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: a test.

138
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 3: Have you ever gone in when you're in school to

139
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 3: take a test or for your job.

140
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: The better you knew the material, the more confident you were,

141
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: the more answers you got right.

142
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: It's kind of like that God.

143
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: Is saying, this transformation comes a little by little, but

144
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: keep gain and knowledge, keep testing your choices by what

145
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: you know to be right. You know, we make choices

146
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: every single day, and those choices make us so it's

147
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: so important that we put our choices under God's authority.

148
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 3: Now. You know, sometimes we don't want to put every

149
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 3: choice under God's word because some choices we just want

150
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: they look so good.

151
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: God, I can fix this with you later. Let me

152
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: go ahead and make this choice, you know what, And

153
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: God knows that. I mean, we've all been there, We've

154
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: all done that. And the good thing about God, he

155
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: can take our bad choices and bring him glory and

156
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: us good.

157
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: All right, he can.

158
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: He's a good God, and he loves us, and I

159
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: love the fact that he's not judging us. The point

160
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: is is that we need to not be afraid to

161
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 2: take our attitudes, our unforgiveness, our habits, everything about us.

162
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 3: And put it under the submission of God.

163
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: See Paul was saying, be a living sacrifice is how

164
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 2: he started a be a living sacrifice. What he was saying,

165
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 2: he was going, go all in, go all in. Don't

166
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: hold back certain areas of your life. You have a

167
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: bad habit, put it under God's authority.

168
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 3: Don't hold on to it and say, God, I'll fix it.

169
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 2: As soon as I fix it, then I'll go I'm

170
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: over here and give it to you. God is saying,

171
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 2: give it all to me, the good, the bad, the ugly.

172
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: Put it under my word. Let me break those things

173
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 2: off of your life. See, Jesus came as the living Word.

174
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: The Bible says he came as the Word made incarnate,

175
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: man made flesh, and he walked among them. And do

176
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: you know that when you read the word of God

177
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: you get good teaching. You're walking with Jesus. And he's

178
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 2: still doing what he did those days in the Bible.

179
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: He's still healing, he's still delivering, he's still setting free,

180
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 2: he's still restoring.

181
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 3: Take his hand and put all of it under his authority.

182
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 2: We can't be afraid and listen. You know, we have

183
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: big decisions that we have to make in our life.

184
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 2: I've heard people say, I want to know the will

185
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 2: of God. Should I take this job, should I start

186
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 2: this business? Should I go back to college? Is this

187
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 2: the person I should marry? And those are all very

188
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: important decisions. But we need to put every decision under

189
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: the will of God, because the better choices we make,

190
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: the closer we are to those better decisions on those

191
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 2: big issues of our life.

192
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 3: When I was a young girl, I remember my heart.

193
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 2: I would just say to God, God, when I get

194
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: married someday, all I know is this, I want a

195
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: man who loves you more than I do. You see,

196
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,599
Speaker 2: my heart said this, God, I don't want to be

197
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 2: dragging anybody up. I don't want to be constantly pushing

198
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: them up. God, I don't want him to sharpen me.

199
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: I want us to be better together. I want us

200
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 2: to do great things for you. Now, girls, I just

201
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: want to tell you this. Don't say this part, but

202
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: this is literally what I said, because if I was you,

203
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: I would find a man with a job. But I said,

204
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: I said, God, he doesn't have to have a lot

205
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: of money, you know what, he doesn't have to be rich.

206
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: God, I just want him to love you.

207
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: Because my heart was like this, God, you can do

208
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: anything in our life.

209
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 3: If we serve you, we can rise higher. We can

210
00:10:58,679 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: do anything.

211
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: But the they bottom line is my gold standard is

212
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: that he loves you a lot. So when I met Joel,

213
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: he looked good on the outside. In fact, from the outside,

214
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 2: and he looked like he was perfect. But you know what,

215
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 2: I didn't want to just judge him from the outside.

216
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: I wanted to judge my who I was gonna marry

217
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 2: by the word of God. And although he looked good,

218
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 2: he seemed to have the right credentials, you know what,

219
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: that wasn't good enough.

220
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: I watched him, I studied him. I saw if.

221
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: His beliefs lined up with his actions. I watched how

222
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: he treated his family, what he said about his friends,

223
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: his generosity towards others. See, I let that character line

224
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 2: itself up with the word of God. Then I could

225
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: make an educated, godly decision.

226
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 3: That God wants us to be confident in our decisions.

227
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 2: As our minds are graining more knowledge and being transformed,

228
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 2: then we can test our choices and make the right decisions. Well,

229
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 2: I had the peace of God. He asked me to marry,

230
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 2: so I did. Thirty years later, it's been a wonderful decision.

231
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: It's been a great decision. Can I tell you girls,

232
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: don't judge from the outside. Make sure their character lines up.

233
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 2: You're far too valuable to get together with someone who

234
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: doesn't appreciate you and know how to bring out the

235
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: best in you who doesn't.

236
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 3: Serve the living God. You see, I made my decision.

237
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 2: I'd rather be home with a peanut butter and jelly

238
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: sandwich than with a man that wasn't good enough for

239
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 2: me and God.

240
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 3: All right, it's not worth it. Every decision you make,

241
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 3: use the word of God as your goal. Standard. Keep

242
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 3: conforming to God's word in his likeness.

243
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: Don't conform to the world, don't conform to have it.

244
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: You may be fighting something right now, and I just

245
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 2: want to encourage you to get yourself, submit yourself under

246
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: the word of God. Don't let anything come out of

247
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 2: your mouth that doesn't line up with what you want. Listen,

248
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: when you're in a fight, you've got to fight to

249
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 2: the end. You got to be serious about where you're going.

250
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 2: God's work will renew you, strengthen you, and refresh you.

251
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 2: It'll detox all those old ways and I'll bring you

252
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 2: into the new ways of God.

253
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: We love you so much. You're awesome. God is a

254
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 3: good God.

255
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 4: Sometimes life can make you feel like you are just

256
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 4: living in the dark. Even your prayers don't feel like

257
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 4: they are making it to heaven. But God is listening

258
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 4: and his light is about to shine.

259
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: We know God is all powerful that he can answer

260
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: any prayer. But sometimes we don't know what to pray.

261
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: We don't think we deserve God's goodness. Maybe we're inconveniencing him,

262
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: or he has more important things to deal with. But

263
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: God is concerned about every detail of your life. He's

264
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: waiting to hear your prayers. I have a new resource
