1 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,480 Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast 2 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:15,880 from St. Augustine, FL. 3 00:00:16,400 --> 00:02:31,940 Now enjoy this message. OK, tonight to this morning. 4 00:02:31,940 --> 00:02:33,820 Not tonight. We're going to talk about 5 00:02:33,820 --> 00:02:39,580 possessing your soul. This is such a huge subject in 6 00:02:39,580 --> 00:02:41,940 the Kingdom of God. You know when you get 7 00:02:41,940 --> 00:02:45,620 transferred out of the the domain of darkness and into the 8 00:02:45,620 --> 00:02:50,020 the Kingdom of of His son, we get born again. 9 00:02:50,220 --> 00:02:53,220 Our spirits are brand new. And then? 10 00:02:53,780 --> 00:02:58,100 One week, one month, one year later, we keep going around 11 00:02:58,100 --> 00:03:01,020 these same, these same mountains. 12 00:03:01,660 --> 00:03:05,860 We keep going around these same strongholds in our mind. 13 00:03:05,860 --> 00:03:09,780 We keep going around these same loops and and we we're like time 14 00:03:09,780 --> 00:03:11,540 out. I thought I was a brand new 15 00:03:11,540 --> 00:03:13,220 person. I thought I was a brand new 16 00:03:13,220 --> 00:03:16,700 creature and you are. Your spirit is brand new, but 17 00:03:16,700 --> 00:03:21,100 God is not going to do anything about your mind or your body. 18 00:03:21,940 --> 00:03:25,970 You have to do it. Everything that you need is 19 00:03:25,970 --> 00:03:29,930 supplied for you, and we're going to look at what strategy 20 00:03:30,050 --> 00:03:32,330 you need to do to possess your mind. 21 00:03:32,490 --> 00:03:35,890 Because this body right here, man, there's so many great 22 00:03:35,890 --> 00:03:39,170 things happening in our body. But the scripture says that we 23 00:03:39,170 --> 00:03:45,850 should be of 1 mind and one spirit, one love, one heart, one 24 00:03:45,850 --> 00:03:50,010 passion, one mind. It says one mind multiple times. 25 00:03:50,950 --> 00:03:56,070 How do we get in one mind? It has to do with your thoughts, 26 00:03:56,230 --> 00:04:01,550 your thought life, What you think is a very, very big deal. 27 00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:05,390 A very big deal. So let's first start in Luke 21 28 00:04:05,390 --> 00:04:10,190 verse 19. It says in your patience. 29 00:04:10,950 --> 00:04:16,029 Possess ye your soul. You know what's amazing about 30 00:04:16,029 --> 00:04:20,269 this scripture is that the whole part before it and after it is 31 00:04:20,269 --> 00:04:24,270 talking about, these are the signs of the the, the last days. 32 00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:27,550 This is what's going to happen. You know, families will be 33 00:04:27,550 --> 00:04:29,910 against families, nation against nation. 34 00:04:29,910 --> 00:04:31,750 There's going to be earthquakes, famines. 35 00:04:31,870 --> 00:04:35,430 All these things are going to happen right in the smack middle 36 00:04:35,430 --> 00:04:38,510 of that. It says in your patience. 37 00:04:39,310 --> 00:04:43,950 Possess ye your soul. And then it goes on to it says 38 00:04:43,950 --> 00:04:48,630 give us some more in time realities but but that is right 39 00:04:48,630 --> 00:04:51,150 in the middle of it. Why is that a big deal? 40 00:04:52,190 --> 00:04:55,750 Because no matter what happens in this world, what's going to 41 00:04:55,750 --> 00:04:59,710 happen in these last days, you've got to have control of 42 00:04:59,710 --> 00:05:03,990 this. This is going to determine your 43 00:05:03,990 --> 00:05:08,190 destiny, how you think in the Kingdom of God. 44 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,200 And so when you went home, when you got born again, whether it's 45 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,120 years ago, whether it was last week, you looked in the mirror, 46 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,480 you didn't look any different, but you've got God in you, 47 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,600 Christ in you, the hope of glory. 48 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,800 But now you've got to do something to change this. 49 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,200 And and this is for all of our new believers in here, but all 50 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,640 of our mature believers, because you're always renewing your 51 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,940 mind. You're always doing it. 52 00:05:34,940 --> 00:05:38,180 So hook up with me as we as we dive into this. 53 00:05:38,380 --> 00:05:41,580 So when when it says in your patience, possess your soul, 54 00:05:41,580 --> 00:05:44,740 that word, patience does not mean that you're just sitting on 55 00:05:44,740 --> 00:05:48,220 the couch watching the hurricane watching. 56 00:05:48,700 --> 00:05:51,180 You know, you're not just sitting there going, God's going 57 00:05:51,220 --> 00:05:54,630 to change my thinking. Now it doesn't work like that. 58 00:05:54,750 --> 00:05:59,630 That word, patience, means in your steadfastness, in your 59 00:05:59,750 --> 00:06:03,350 activeness, in your constant endurance. 60 00:06:03,470 --> 00:06:10,550 And it means to bear bravely and calmly so in your steadfastness, 61 00:06:10,710 --> 00:06:14,630 in your your your courage, your your being brave. 62 00:06:14,750 --> 00:06:18,280 You have to possess your soul. You have to do it. 63 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,240 And that's why the scripture, you've heard me say this one to 64 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:28,680 a bunch of times, be anxious for nothing but in everything, with 65 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,480 prayer and Thanksgiving, it doesn't matter what comes to 66 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,240 you. You've got to learn this, this 67 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,960 choice of victory every single day. 68 00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:41,070 Every day. Nobody chooses it for you. 69 00:06:41,230 --> 00:06:45,710 You have to choose it every day. And then it goes on in Luke 2124 70 00:06:45,710 --> 00:06:50,270 and it says, but take heed to yourself, lest your hearts be 71 00:06:50,270 --> 00:06:54,590 weighed down with carousing or drunkenness. 72 00:06:55,030 --> 00:06:58,510 Now I trust none of us are doing that, but it also says the with 73 00:06:58,510 --> 00:07:02,390 the cares of this life. Don't let your heart be weighed 74 00:07:02,390 --> 00:07:05,190 down with the cares of this life and that day. 75 00:07:05,190 --> 00:07:10,230 Come on you unexpectedly. In other words, take heed to 76 00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:13,110 your soul. Take heed to what you're 77 00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:16,950 thinking. You know you think thousands of 78 00:07:16,950 --> 00:07:21,590 thoughts every day, every day. How do you capture those? 79 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,920 We're going to talk about it Romans chapter 12 verses one and 80 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,480 two, says, I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the 81 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,360 mercies of God that you present your bodies. 82 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,560 Remember, he's he's not going to do it. 83 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,600 You got to do it. Present your bodies a living 84 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:43,440 sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable 85 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:50,280 service, and do not be conformed to this world, but be 86 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,690 transformed. By the renewing of your mind 87 00:07:53,690 --> 00:07:57,250 that you would prove what is that good and acceptable and 88 00:07:57,250 --> 00:08:01,010 perfect will of God. So it says don't be conformed 89 00:08:01,170 --> 00:08:04,090 but be transformed. The only way that you're going 90 00:08:04,130 --> 00:08:08,930 to know the will of God is if you're being transformed, if 91 00:08:08,930 --> 00:08:11,210 you're repenting, if you're changing your. 92 00:08:11,210 --> 00:08:13,970 We've heard that word many, many times from up here. 93 00:08:14,130 --> 00:08:18,290 Change your thinking. Repentance means to change your 94 00:08:18,290 --> 00:08:21,150 thinking. You're always changing your 95 00:08:21,150 --> 00:08:22,710 thinking. God's not going to do it. 96 00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:26,550 He's equipped you to do it first, Thessalonians chapter 5, 97 00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:30,750 verse 23 says. Now may the God of peace himself 98 00:08:30,990 --> 00:08:37,110 sanctify you completely and may your whole spirit, soul and body 99 00:08:37,429 --> 00:08:41,309 be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 100 00:08:41,549 --> 00:08:46,950 Spirit, soul and body. Spirit, soul and body. 101 00:08:46,950 --> 00:08:49,270 Your thought Life. One choice. 102 00:08:49,740 --> 00:08:53,580 Every single day affects all three parts of your being, 103 00:08:54,060 --> 00:08:57,340 spiritual, emotional, and physical. 104 00:08:57,460 --> 00:09:02,500 We have a tendency to separate our body if we kind of think 105 00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:06,140 it's separate, and then we have our spirit man, and then we have 106 00:09:06,140 --> 00:09:09,620 our mind over here that we know we kind of need to get a hold 107 00:09:09,620 --> 00:09:12,260 of. But all three of those work in 108 00:09:12,260 --> 00:09:16,340 unity together, and the way that you think affects your health. 109 00:09:17,050 --> 00:09:19,930 It affects your emotions. It affects everything. 110 00:09:20,130 --> 00:09:22,850 I'm not a doctor, but I'm going to act like one for just a 111 00:09:22,850 --> 00:09:26,250 second. Through your five senses, 112 00:09:26,810 --> 00:09:30,770 Through your five senses, you, you get all kinds of information 113 00:09:30,770 --> 00:09:34,730 and it hits your frontal lobe. It's just coming at you all the 114 00:09:34,730 --> 00:09:38,850 time, whether it's trials or or circumstances in your life. 115 00:09:38,850 --> 00:09:40,650 Whatever it is, it's it's hitting you. 116 00:09:40,650 --> 00:09:43,650 It's right here. After it goes there, it goes 117 00:09:43,650 --> 00:09:46,210 straight to this main organ. I think it's called the 118 00:09:46,210 --> 00:09:49,890 hypothalamine. And that affects everyone of 119 00:09:49,890 --> 00:09:53,050 your systems, your inflammatory system, your endocrine system, 120 00:09:53,530 --> 00:09:56,610 your your everything, every system that you have in your 121 00:09:56,610 --> 00:09:58,010 body. Debbie's shaking her head 122 00:09:58,010 --> 00:10:00,290 because she's a nurse. She could probably tell me all 123 00:10:00,290 --> 00:10:01,930 of them. It affects everything. 124 00:10:02,090 --> 00:10:07,250 So what you do when those things come right then is hugely 125 00:10:07,250 --> 00:10:11,810 important that you don't just take the thought that came to 126 00:10:11,810 --> 00:10:14,450 you that was negative, that mountain that just landed in 127 00:10:14,450 --> 00:10:19,220 front of you, and you go, oh. Man, I guess we're not going to 128 00:10:19,220 --> 00:10:21,940 make it. I guess we're not going to be 129 00:10:21,940 --> 00:10:27,660 able to pay that because that's what that's what hit me just 130 00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:29,260 then. So I guess that's the truth. 131 00:10:29,540 --> 00:10:34,700 Oh, choose this day. Choose this day. 132 00:10:35,620 --> 00:10:37,980 What you're going to, what you're going to decide. 133 00:10:37,980 --> 00:10:40,900 Life or death, Blessing or cursing. 134 00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:45,300 It's your choice every day. And it's not a choice you made 135 00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:47,260 the day, you just the day you got born again. 136 00:10:47,260 --> 00:10:49,140 It's the choice you make every day, all day. 137 00:10:50,540 --> 00:10:53,380 Because I can make that choice when I wake up in the morning, 138 00:10:53,540 --> 00:10:56,020 but then I can get to work and something happen and I need to 139 00:10:56,020 --> 00:10:59,660 make that choice again. You're always making it. 140 00:10:59,660 --> 00:11:03,820 If you want to be victorious in life, you've got to conquer 141 00:11:03,820 --> 00:11:06,260 this. You have to conquer it. 142 00:11:07,380 --> 00:11:09,220 So you think your thoughts are a big deal? 143 00:11:09,220 --> 00:11:11,460 They're huge. They affect everything. 144 00:11:11,580 --> 00:11:14,740 So what's the plan for our soul according to scripture? 145 00:11:15,180 --> 00:11:20,460 Third, John Two says, beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all 146 00:11:20,460 --> 00:11:25,140 things and be in health just as your soul prospers. 147 00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:28,340 So it's saying you're going to be in health if your soul is 148 00:11:28,340 --> 00:11:34,020 prospering, emotional and physical and mental health if 149 00:11:34,020 --> 00:11:36,140 your soul. You want to talk about mental 150 00:11:36,140 --> 00:11:41,100 health in here? God, God, God's got your mental 151 00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:46,260 health. If you'll just yield to him, he 152 00:11:46,260 --> 00:11:50,180 will wash and change everything up here so that you're not going 153 00:11:50,180 --> 00:11:53,820 around the same mountains, the same loops all the time. 154 00:11:53,980 --> 00:11:56,340 You know it. We could all, we could all say, 155 00:11:56,340 --> 00:12:00,300 Yep, man, I I keep dealing with that same thing every year, that 156 00:12:00,300 --> 00:12:04,660 same cycle, that same. We shouldn't be in cycles. 157 00:12:06,830 --> 00:12:10,350 We should not be going around the same mountain all the time. 158 00:12:10,350 --> 00:12:13,950 Our marriages shouldn't be stinking up every year. 159 00:12:16,190 --> 00:12:20,070 We should be changing, going from faith to faith, from glory 160 00:12:20,070 --> 00:12:24,150 to glory, changing, being transformed all the time. 161 00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:26,910 You ought to be able to look back and go, man. 162 00:12:26,910 --> 00:12:33,430 I'm not where I was, thank God. But I'm also not where I'm going 163 00:12:33,430 --> 00:12:36,770 to be. I mean you, you ought to have a 164 00:12:36,770 --> 00:12:39,890 moment every day and just go, oh, thank you, Lord, for for 165 00:12:39,890 --> 00:12:44,050 what you brought me out of. Thank you, Lord, for what you've 166 00:12:44,050 --> 00:12:48,690 delivered me out of a heart of Thanksgiving is huge. 167 00:12:48,690 --> 00:12:51,770 And we'll talk about that. So that word, soul there in that 168 00:12:51,770 --> 00:12:55,410 scripture is your psyche. It's your thoughts and and when 169 00:12:55,410 --> 00:12:58,570 it says it's supposed to prosper, you're supposed to be 170 00:12:58,570 --> 00:13:01,050 successful in your thought life well off. 171 00:13:01,530 --> 00:13:03,970 And you're deciding. You're thinking you're you're 172 00:13:03,970 --> 00:13:06,250 feeling. It's a peaceful way. 173 00:13:06,850 --> 00:13:11,770 The scripture says you should have a sound mind, a peaceful 174 00:13:11,770 --> 00:13:14,650 mind. You know if you're at peace or 175 00:13:14,650 --> 00:13:18,090 not. You know if you have joy on the 176 00:13:18,090 --> 00:13:20,170 inside. You know if there's stress. 177 00:13:20,330 --> 00:13:24,450 You know one thought. It's happened to me before, more 178 00:13:24,450 --> 00:13:25,970 than once. A thought will come and all of a 179 00:13:25,970 --> 00:13:29,170 sudden your heart will go like that, just from a thought. 180 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,200 You think your thoughts don't affect you and your physical 181 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,880 body. They affect everything. 182 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,360 You've got to be purposeful every day, and it's not hard. 183 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,480 The scripture says today you you've got to do everything you 184 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:49,480 can just to enter into his rest. It's what he's done for you. 185 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,890 What is that REST? That rest is that I'm seated. 186 00:13:53,890 --> 00:13:56,690 I know where I'm seated in heavenly places. 187 00:13:56,690 --> 00:14:01,170 I'm I'm far above all rule and authority and power and dominion 188 00:14:01,290 --> 00:14:04,490 and every name that's named. But there's a war happening, you 189 00:14:04,490 --> 00:14:08,250 know, There's more than one heaven, and there's a war 190 00:14:08,250 --> 00:14:11,330 happening in the heavens, a spiritual war. 191 00:14:12,890 --> 00:14:18,410 And those fiery darts, he's accusing you day and night, day 192 00:14:18,410 --> 00:14:20,890 and night. And he's not going to stop. 193 00:14:22,350 --> 00:14:26,430 So you better understand what what battle you're fighting, But 194 00:14:26,430 --> 00:14:28,350 you're fighting from a place of victory. 195 00:14:28,350 --> 00:14:30,310 All you got to do is speak the word. 196 00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:36,190 All you got to do is rejoice when you face those trials of 197 00:14:36,190 --> 00:14:38,390 many kinds. OK, let me stay focused. 198 00:14:39,030 --> 00:14:41,910 It's a peaceful way. I want to read that scripture to 199 00:14:41,910 --> 00:14:44,950 you in a different translation. Dear friend, I pray that you're 200 00:14:44,950 --> 00:14:47,750 doing well in every way and that you're healthy. 201 00:14:48,170 --> 00:14:53,090 Just as your soul is healthy, what good is it to inherit this 202 00:14:53,290 --> 00:14:57,570 Kingdom of God that the Father has so gladly given his children 203 00:14:58,730 --> 00:15:04,250 if we're not enjoying every bit of it, getting to embrace every 204 00:15:04,250 --> 00:15:07,130 bit of it? And it's not just for us, it's 205 00:15:07,130 --> 00:15:10,490 so that we can bring this freedom to people outside of 206 00:15:10,490 --> 00:15:12,970 here. When we're at West Augustine, 207 00:15:12,970 --> 00:15:16,050 whatever we're doing, dining with dignity, whatever we're 208 00:15:16,050 --> 00:15:20,450 doing in in our community and the world and the nations so 209 00:15:20,450 --> 00:15:24,770 that we're free, so that we're not the freaks that people will 210 00:15:24,770 --> 00:15:27,410 look at that are in church and are not free. 211 00:15:30,210 --> 00:15:33,770 There's a lot of people that are in sitting in churches. 212 00:15:35,410 --> 00:15:37,410 And walk out and they're no different. 213 00:15:37,410 --> 00:15:39,970 And it's it's no different. And like in the Old Testament 214 00:15:39,970 --> 00:15:43,450 saw, David came and he played for him and there was an 215 00:15:43,450 --> 00:15:46,930 anointing and he had a piece when David played and then he 216 00:15:46,930 --> 00:15:49,530 and then David left and he was tormented again. 217 00:15:51,330 --> 00:15:55,170 Church people do that. We should not do that. 218 00:15:56,420 --> 00:16:00,020 This place that we come into is our our safe haven. 219 00:16:00,020 --> 00:16:02,820 We shut the door. We get a prescription for for 220 00:16:02,820 --> 00:16:05,140 our lives. We we get in here and we learn 221 00:16:05,140 --> 00:16:08,100 the word and we we find out what to do and how to overcome. 222 00:16:08,260 --> 00:16:11,900 And then we go out there and we do it and we live it. 223 00:16:12,460 --> 00:16:14,980 This is every day. God, it's you I live for. 224 00:16:14,980 --> 00:16:20,940 Not just Sundays and Wednesdays. It's every day a mind loop. 225 00:16:21,940 --> 00:16:24,980 Let me let me just explain that a a loop in your mind. 226 00:16:24,980 --> 00:16:27,460 You know how when your dog goes outside and makes a track in 227 00:16:27,460 --> 00:16:30,580 your yard, that's what your thoughts do. 228 00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:36,580 They make a loop inside your brain and it affects every 229 00:16:36,580 --> 00:16:38,660 chemical in your body, every chemical. 230 00:16:39,980 --> 00:16:41,700 We got to get out of these loops. 231 00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:44,460 We got to quit going around this same race track. 232 00:16:45,020 --> 00:16:48,260 We got to start dealing with it. And you have the Holy Ghost. 233 00:16:49,380 --> 00:16:53,000 You have discernment. If you're born again, 234 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,800 Spearfield, and you've got the you've got the Holy Ghost on the 235 00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,960 inside, within you and upon you, and he's talking to you every 236 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,319 day, he's talking to you. Are you yielding to what he's 237 00:17:05,319 --> 00:17:09,040 saying? OK, let's go to 2nd Corinthians, 238 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:14,839 chapter 10, verses 3 through 5. It says, for though we walk in 239 00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:18,880 the flesh, we do not war. This is the battle I was talking 240 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,380 about. For though we walk in the flesh, 241 00:17:21,380 --> 00:17:23,740 we do not war according to the flesh. 242 00:17:24,140 --> 00:17:28,780 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in 243 00:17:28,780 --> 00:17:33,260 God, mighty in God. Let me say that again, because 244 00:17:33,260 --> 00:17:36,300 when I say the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but they 245 00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:40,140 are actually mighty in God, Something inside you ought to be 246 00:17:40,140 --> 00:17:43,300 like. Yes, yes, they're mighty. 247 00:17:43,460 --> 00:17:46,220 The, the, the weapons that I have are mighty in God. 248 00:17:46,830 --> 00:17:48,750 Let me read it again. I'm going to give you another 249 00:17:48,750 --> 00:17:51,990 chance. For the weapons of our warfare 250 00:17:51,990 --> 00:17:57,750 are not carnal, but mighty. In God For the yes, Amen. 251 00:17:57,750 --> 00:17:59,950 For the pulling down of stronghold. 252 00:17:59,950 --> 00:18:03,030 You don't have to have a stronghold in your mind. 253 00:18:04,060 --> 00:18:07,260 For the pulling down of strongholds, casting down 254 00:18:07,260 --> 00:18:11,500 arguments, and every high thing that exalts itself against the 255 00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:15,700 knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to 256 00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:18,300 the obedience of Christ, let me read an Amplified. 257 00:18:18,540 --> 00:18:22,100 For though we walk in the flesh as mortal man, we are not 258 00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:25,460 carrying on our spiritual warfare according to the flesh 259 00:18:25,740 --> 00:18:29,540 and using the weapons of man. The weapons of our warfare are 260 00:18:29,540 --> 00:18:31,980 not physical weapons of flesh and blood. 261 00:18:32,140 --> 00:18:36,780 Our weapons are divinely. Powerful for the destruction of 262 00:18:36,780 --> 00:18:40,500 fortresses. Some people have fortresses in 263 00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:43,420 their mind. We are destroying sophisticated 264 00:18:43,420 --> 00:18:45,780 arguments. I I know a few people have have 265 00:18:45,780 --> 00:18:51,220 those sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud 266 00:18:51,220 --> 00:18:54,420 thing that sets itself up against the true knowledge of 267 00:18:54,420 --> 00:18:56,980 God. And we are taking every thought 268 00:18:56,980 --> 00:19:01,340 captive and and every purpose captive to the obedience of 269 00:19:01,340 --> 00:19:03,700 Christ. That's our job. 270 00:19:03,700 --> 00:19:05,140 Take every thought. Captive. 271 00:19:05,340 --> 00:19:08,460 You have to understand the war that you're fighting. 272 00:19:08,580 --> 00:19:13,500 It's in your mind, In your mind. The Bible is clear that we 273 00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:16,540 should not be ignorant of the devil's devices. 274 00:19:17,780 --> 00:19:22,620 Second Corinthians chapter 2, verse 11 says lest Satan should 275 00:19:22,620 --> 00:19:26,580 get an advantage of us. For we are not ignorant of his 276 00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:30,060 devices or his evil purpose. We're not ignorant of it. 277 00:19:31,170 --> 00:19:34,370 His devices let me read it to you in a different in a 278 00:19:34,370 --> 00:19:38,610 different translations. But I fear lest somehow as a 279 00:19:38,610 --> 00:19:43,970 serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be 280 00:19:43,970 --> 00:19:48,450 corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 281 00:19:48,450 --> 00:19:49,850 Was that was a different scripture? 282 00:19:51,030 --> 00:19:53,270 Yes, the first one was Second Corinthians 211. 283 00:19:53,550 --> 00:19:55,470 This one was Second Corinthians 11/3. 284 00:19:55,470 --> 00:19:57,510 So sorry. So I fear less. 285 00:19:57,510 --> 00:20:00,870 Somehow, as a serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, that your 286 00:20:00,870 --> 00:20:03,910 minds would be corrupted from the simplicity that is in 287 00:20:03,910 --> 00:20:06,270 Christ. Now I want to read that one in 288 00:20:06,270 --> 00:20:10,030 the Amplified, but I'm afraid that even as the serpent 289 00:20:10,030 --> 00:20:15,630 beguiled Eve by his cunning, your minds may be corrupted and 290 00:20:15,630 --> 00:20:19,510 led astray from the simplicity of your sincere and pure 291 00:20:19,510 --> 00:20:24,190 devotion to Christ. His end goal that the enemy his 292 00:20:24,230 --> 00:20:31,660 His end goal is to steal your mind, to destroy it for you to 293 00:20:31,820 --> 00:20:34,020 We sang. The first song that we sang said 294 00:20:34,020 --> 00:20:37,820 The chains are broken. Are the chains broken? 295 00:20:39,180 --> 00:20:44,500 Spiritually speaking, they are. But are but are you doing what 296 00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:48,260 you need to do every day to make sure these chains are broken? 297 00:20:50,340 --> 00:20:52,980 Revelation, chapter 12, verses 10 and 11. 298 00:20:53,380 --> 00:20:55,900 It says. Then I heard a loud voice saying 299 00:20:55,900 --> 00:20:58,860 In heaven. Now salvation and strength in 300 00:20:58,860 --> 00:21:02,180 the Kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ have come 301 00:21:02,860 --> 00:21:07,060 for the accuser of our brethren who accused them before our God. 302 00:21:07,060 --> 00:21:12,580 Day and night has been cast down, and they overcame him by 303 00:21:12,580 --> 00:21:16,220 the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. 304 00:21:16,220 --> 00:21:18,340 And they did not love their lives to the death. 305 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,800 This scripture shows us he is the accuser of the brethren 306 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,920 night and day. But it also says, you overcome 307 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,560 him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of your testimony. 308 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,760 That is not for you to get up here and talk about where you 309 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:34,760 been. Testimony. 310 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,360 That word, the the word of your testimony means what you're 311 00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:43,920 declaring this raining resonance that's coming out of your mouth. 312 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,000 What you're saying that God says. 313 00:21:48,030 --> 00:21:49,710 That's the word of your testimony. 314 00:21:49,710 --> 00:21:52,590 So you overcome by the blood of the lamb and by what you're 315 00:21:52,590 --> 00:21:57,110 saying, by what you're believing, by what you're 316 00:21:57,110 --> 00:22:01,070 meditating on. That's how you're overcoming day 317 00:22:01,070 --> 00:22:03,670 and night, day and night. He's always accusing you 318 00:22:03,670 --> 00:22:08,510 condemnation, guilt. You're never going to break free 319 00:22:08,510 --> 00:22:11,230 from this. He's always throwing those fiery 320 00:22:11,230 --> 00:22:13,950 darts at you. When are you going to rise up? 321 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,680 When are you going to stand up and say no more? 322 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,000 I'm taking captive that thought and I'm putting it underneath 323 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,800 the obedience of the word of God. 324 00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:27,840 That's not who God says I am. God, you said this. 325 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,040 You said I'm an overcomer. You said I have the joy of the 326 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,000 Lord. You said your peace guards my 327 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,800 heart and my mind. You said that God, You said, He 328 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,160 said to put him in remembrance of His word. 329 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,240 And it's not because he forgot it. 330 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,100 He didn't forget it, but you should be saying it. 331 00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:50,060 He's not ever going to weary of hearing it. 332 00:22:51,660 --> 00:22:54,460 You're activating things when you say it. 333 00:22:55,580 --> 00:22:59,060 You got to speak it. Ephesians, Chapter 6, Our 334 00:22:59,060 --> 00:23:00,900 strategy. Let's jump into this. 335 00:23:01,020 --> 00:23:03,620 You ought to be like. You ought to be like ooh, I'm 336 00:23:03,620 --> 00:23:06,020 ready for this. Because when I get out of here, 337 00:23:06,020 --> 00:23:09,820 I'm going to conquer some stuff. I'm going to conquer some 338 00:23:09,820 --> 00:23:12,420 thoughts that I've been dealing with for a while. 339 00:23:13,980 --> 00:23:18,100 Ephesians Chapter 6 for our wrestling match. 340 00:23:18,100 --> 00:23:20,780 I'm going to tell you part of it in a different translation. 341 00:23:21,020 --> 00:23:23,660 It says for our wrestling match is not against persons with 342 00:23:23,660 --> 00:23:29,100 bodies. My wrestling match is not 343 00:23:29,100 --> 00:23:33,060 against you. It's not against my family. 344 00:23:33,220 --> 00:23:35,460 Your wrestling match is not against people. 345 00:23:35,580 --> 00:23:38,940 Your wrestling match is against what's going on in that heavenly 346 00:23:38,940 --> 00:23:42,900 realm, the one that he has dominion of. 347 00:23:43,910 --> 00:23:46,750 That's where your wrestling match is, so let's read it. 348 00:23:46,750 --> 00:23:51,230 If he's in Chapter 6. Finally, my brethren, be strong 349 00:23:51,230 --> 00:23:53,070 in the Lord and in the power of His might. 350 00:23:53,070 --> 00:23:56,790 It's the unseen. The unseen is way more real than 351 00:23:56,790 --> 00:24:02,590 what you see, way more real than what you see in the power of His 352 00:24:02,590 --> 00:24:04,790 might. And put on the whole armor of 353 00:24:04,790 --> 00:24:09,510 God that you may be able to stand against the Wiles of the 354 00:24:09,510 --> 00:24:12,730 devil for we do not. Sometimes we don't put on our 355 00:24:12,730 --> 00:24:13,930 armor. And that's the problem. 356 00:24:15,770 --> 00:24:18,130 When I was a kid, I ran out of the house without my shirt on 357 00:24:18,970 --> 00:24:23,130 and I was horrified because I realized I was just a little 358 00:24:23,130 --> 00:24:24,810 girl. So in a big deal, I guess. 359 00:24:25,450 --> 00:24:28,570 But but I I ran out and was like, oh, shirt on. 360 00:24:28,610 --> 00:24:30,130 I cried. I ran back home. 361 00:24:30,330 --> 00:24:31,730 We leave. We leave like that. 362 00:24:32,090 --> 00:24:36,410 We leave our houses like that naked, without our, without our 363 00:24:36,410 --> 00:24:40,650 armor on. For we do not wrestle against 364 00:24:40,650 --> 00:24:46,010 flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, 365 00:24:46,010 --> 00:24:48,530 against the rulers of the darkness of this age, and 366 00:24:48,530 --> 00:24:51,650 against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly 367 00:24:51,650 --> 00:24:54,170 places he's organized. But you know he didn't get all 368 00:24:54,170 --> 00:24:56,450 that on his own. He came from heaven. 369 00:24:56,450 --> 00:24:59,250 We know where he came from and all his little angels, and he's 370 00:24:59,250 --> 00:25:01,490 got an organized little system. He's running. 371 00:25:02,970 --> 00:25:07,330 We ain't scared against the rulers of the darkness of this 372 00:25:07,330 --> 00:25:10,370 age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly 373 00:25:10,370 --> 00:25:14,290 places. Therefore, therefore, therefore 374 00:25:15,730 --> 00:25:20,770 this is what it's there for. Therefore take up the whole 375 00:25:20,770 --> 00:25:26,090 armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil 376 00:25:26,090 --> 00:25:29,210 day. We all have evil days. 377 00:25:29,770 --> 00:25:31,530 Not just talking about the last days. 378 00:25:31,530 --> 00:25:34,840 We all have evil days. You have some days that try to 379 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:39,360 be evil. We got a lot of amens on that 380 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,080 that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and 381 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,000 having done all to stand, stand there for why? 382 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,280 Why does it have to tell us to stand so many times? 383 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:56,840 Stand there for having girded your waist with truth, having on 384 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,400 the breastplate of righteousness. 385 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,400 And this is the righteousness of God by faith. 386 00:26:02,190 --> 00:26:05,110 This is the one that you received by faith through grace, 387 00:26:05,110 --> 00:26:09,150 through Christ alone. OK, who you are in Christ, this 388 00:26:09,150 --> 00:26:12,590 breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with 389 00:26:12,590 --> 00:26:16,710 the preparation of the gospel of peace, and above all, above all, 390 00:26:17,110 --> 00:26:21,670 above all the shield of faith with which you will be able to 391 00:26:21,670 --> 00:26:26,350 quench all the fiery darts of the evil one, all of them, all 392 00:26:26,350 --> 00:26:30,550 of them, all the fiery darts, and take the helmet of salvation 393 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,720 and the sword of the Spirit. You know salvation is your 394 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,040 absolute deliverance in every area. 395 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,800 That's what salvation is delivered in your mind, 396 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:46,500 delivered and everything. But you have to apply it and 397 00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:48,860 take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which 398 00:26:48,860 --> 00:26:52,420 is the word of God, praying always with all prayer and 399 00:26:52,420 --> 00:26:55,100 supplication in the spirit, being watchful to this end with 400 00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:58,260 all perseverance and supplication for all the Saints. 401 00:26:58,580 --> 00:27:02,540 Remember 2nd Corinthians 10 that we already read, versus 3 402 00:27:02,540 --> 00:27:04,980 through 5? For the weapons of our warfare 403 00:27:04,980 --> 00:27:08,400 are not carnal, but they're mighty in God, this is the 404 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,000 battle that we're fighting, putting on our armor. 405 00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:13,040 We're going to look at ways that we can do this. 406 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,240 The problem is that we as believers, we know Christ is in 407 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,040 us, but we fail because we don't act on the word every single 408 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,120 day. We get caught up in our 409 00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:26,280 schedules, caught up in our lives, caught up with our kids, 410 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,400 caught up in what we're doing, caught up with emotions, and 411 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,680 we're not actually allowing our minds to be transformed. 412 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:39,160 So Psalms 13 two says, It says don't take counsel in your soul. 413 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,080 Such a great scripture. You have a choice to make. 414 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,880 When thoughts come to you, they're going to take them 415 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,320 captive or you're just going to let them, let them sit there. 416 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,280 When I was a kid, a bird flew over my head and actually pooped 417 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,600 and and I did clean it. I didn't stay there and let it, 418 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,920 let it stay in my hair. I cried. 419 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,600 I freaked out. But, but sometimes things are 420 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,360 coming all the time and we just we just melt into it. 421 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,080 We just receive it. Maybe that's how I am. 422 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,040 That's how my mom was that's how my dad was. 423 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,200 I I guess that's that's probably how I am. 424 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,080 You know that those those hereditary genes in you 425 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,440 medically, you know, where people say well, so and so had 426 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,040 cancer and and maybe I'm going to get it, you know those genes 427 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,200 are not activated unless you activate them. 428 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,680 And you activate them by thinking on them you're 429 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,450 redeemed. You're redeemed by the blood of 430 00:28:35,450 --> 00:28:38,490 the lamb. And by saying I'm redeemed from 431 00:28:38,490 --> 00:28:41,810 all sickness and all cancer and anything that that tries to 432 00:28:41,810 --> 00:28:43,730 come, I don't care if my granny had it. 433 00:28:45,250 --> 00:28:47,090 You don't have to be in the same. 434 00:28:47,090 --> 00:28:48,290 You're not in the same bloodline. 435 00:28:48,290 --> 00:28:51,850 You don't have to be in the same generational curses. 436 00:28:54,690 --> 00:28:58,730 Psalm 13, two. How long shall I take counsel in 437 00:28:58,730 --> 00:29:02,810 my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? 438 00:29:02,890 --> 00:29:06,170 How long will my enemy be exalted over me? 439 00:29:07,690 --> 00:29:09,770 We need to ask ourselves that question. 440 00:29:10,890 --> 00:29:15,850 How much more am I going to keep taking counsel in my soul? 441 00:29:17,130 --> 00:29:19,210 Well, this is how I feel and you don't understand. 442 00:29:21,930 --> 00:29:23,490 You don't understand what I'm going through. 443 00:29:23,610 --> 00:29:28,210 There is nothing new under the sun, so you really can't have 444 00:29:28,210 --> 00:29:32,070 that excuse. Anything that comes to you is 445 00:29:32,070 --> 00:29:33,950 common to man. Everybody. 446 00:29:34,310 --> 00:29:36,510 Jeez, everybody's been through it. 447 00:29:38,390 --> 00:29:40,390 Do not take counsel in your own soul. 448 00:29:40,390 --> 00:29:43,510 Having sorrow in your heart. How long will our enemies be 449 00:29:43,510 --> 00:29:45,830 exalted out No more. You have to say no more. 450 00:29:45,990 --> 00:29:48,110 You have to walk out of here today and go. 451 00:29:48,110 --> 00:29:50,350 I'm going to apply these principles. 452 00:29:50,350 --> 00:29:53,630 I'm going to apply the word every day #1. 453 00:29:53,990 --> 00:30:01,820 Live by decision every day, every day by the word and the 454 00:30:01,820 --> 00:30:05,060 Spirit. Not by your own soul, your own 455 00:30:05,060 --> 00:30:07,460 feelings, your own circumstances. 456 00:30:08,620 --> 00:30:12,420 Live by decision every single day. 457 00:30:12,420 --> 00:30:16,620 Let's look at David. David is such a great example to 458 00:30:16,620 --> 00:30:18,620 look at. Let's look at him in First 459 00:30:18,620 --> 00:30:23,020 Samuel chapter 30. Think about what you would do in 460 00:30:23,020 --> 00:30:26,140 this circumstance now. It happened when David and his 461 00:30:26,140 --> 00:30:30,020 men came to Ziglag on the third day that the Amalekites had 462 00:30:30,020 --> 00:30:33,260 invaded the South and Ziglag and attacked Ziglag and burned it 463 00:30:33,260 --> 00:30:36,980 with fire and had taken captive the women and those who were 464 00:30:36,980 --> 00:30:39,060 there. So David was off on a some 465 00:30:39,100 --> 00:30:41,780 military thing and this is what happened while he was gone. 466 00:30:43,020 --> 00:30:45,940 The women, they had taken, the women and the children who were 467 00:30:45,940 --> 00:30:48,420 there from small to great. They did not kill anyone, but 468 00:30:48,420 --> 00:30:50,140 carried them away and went their way. 469 00:30:50,420 --> 00:30:54,060 So David and his men came to the city, and there it was burned 470 00:30:54,060 --> 00:30:57,780 with fire, and their wives and their sons and their daughters 471 00:30:57,780 --> 00:31:01,500 had been taken captive. Then David and the people who 472 00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:05,540 were with him lifted up their voices, and they wept until they 473 00:31:05,540 --> 00:31:10,540 had no more power to weep. And David's two wives, I don't 474 00:31:10,540 --> 00:31:15,340 know how to say her name. And Abigail had been taken 475 00:31:15,340 --> 00:31:20,740 captive, And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke 476 00:31:20,740 --> 00:31:23,060 of Stoningham. So then they they turned on him, 477 00:31:23,910 --> 00:31:28,230 for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the 478 00:31:28,230 --> 00:31:32,990 people was grieved, and every man for his sons and daughters. 479 00:31:33,630 --> 00:31:37,110 But David strengthened and encouraged himself into the Lord 480 00:31:37,110 --> 00:31:39,950 his God. Can you imagine? 481 00:31:40,910 --> 00:31:42,910 Do you think he had any emotions? 482 00:31:43,230 --> 00:31:46,710 I mean, it says he does. Do you think he had any? 483 00:31:46,790 --> 00:31:50,440 What was dealing with any emotions of fear do you think 484 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,520 Shatter at Meshach and a Bendigo didn't have any fear? 485 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,520 You think I didn't feel anything? 486 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,360 You think all these Old Testament stories that sometimes 487 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,040 we read and go, wow, what would we do? 488 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,080 Sometimes we we're a little bit more carnal than we want to 489 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,240 think we are. We read these Old Testament 490 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:13,040 stories and go, oh gosh, what would I do in that circle? 491 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,520 You think they didn't deal with the same emotions that you would 492 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:21,100 deal with, but it said he strengthened and encouraged 493 00:32:21,100 --> 00:32:24,020 himself in the in the Lord Paul and Silas in the jail. 494 00:32:24,060 --> 00:32:27,980 You think they wanted or felt like singing praises and 495 00:32:27,980 --> 00:32:33,660 thanking God? This is your victory, church. 496 00:32:35,500 --> 00:32:39,820 This is your victory every day, no matter what's in front of 497 00:32:39,820 --> 00:32:41,740 you. What are you going to do? 498 00:32:42,940 --> 00:32:46,060 What are you going to do? He strengthened and he 499 00:32:46,060 --> 00:32:51,700 encouraged himself in the Lord. Oh, we got to meditate on the 500 00:32:51,700 --> 00:32:55,100 faithfulness of God. Can you go from a trial or 501 00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:57,700 despair or grieving to just thanking God? 502 00:32:58,220 --> 00:33:02,580 Oh, yes you can, and you should. You should. 503 00:33:02,580 --> 00:33:05,140 You must. It's actually an act of your 504 00:33:05,140 --> 00:33:08,780 will. Your victory every day is an act 505 00:33:08,780 --> 00:33:13,640 of your will. You have to live by decision. 506 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:19,400 You cannot just que sera sera. Whatever happens is going to 507 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,200 happen. You can't live like that and and 508 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,280 and overcome in the Kingdom of God. 509 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:31,480 Psalm 4211. David, again, why are you cast 510 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,520 down, oh, my soul? And why are you disquieted 511 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:40,640 within me, hoping God, for I shall yet praise him the help of 512 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,880 my countenance. And my God, this is how you 513 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,680 overcome. You have to tell your soul. 514 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:54,840 Why are you so sad? What's wrong with you, God, you 515 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,000 said this. This is how you overcome. 516 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,640 I'm going to put my hope in God, soul. 517 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,790 Why are you so depressed? Why are you so sad? 518 00:34:03,990 --> 00:34:07,390 God, I thank you, Lord, that your joy is my strength. 519 00:34:07,670 --> 00:34:10,550 Thank you, Lord, that I'm quickened today to do what 520 00:34:10,550 --> 00:34:12,790 you've called me to do. Thank you, Lord, that you're 521 00:34:12,790 --> 00:34:15,230 moving the obstacles out of my way. 522 00:34:15,389 --> 00:34:17,389 Thank you, Father. That you provided everything 523 00:34:17,389 --> 00:34:20,909 that I need in Christ Jesus. That's how you win. 524 00:34:23,030 --> 00:34:27,030 David knew how to do it. We how much more who have the 525 00:34:27,030 --> 00:34:31,690 Holy Ghost within and upon us? Psalm 9419. 526 00:34:31,929 --> 00:34:36,770 In the multitude of my anxieties within me your comforts delight 527 00:34:36,770 --> 00:34:40,250 my soul. It doesn't matter what anxieties 528 00:34:40,250 --> 00:34:43,810 come to you. His comforts will will give you 529 00:34:43,810 --> 00:34:46,130 peace in your soul. But every day you've got to 530 00:34:46,130 --> 00:34:47,810 choose. Let me read. 531 00:34:47,810 --> 00:34:50,090 I already said it, but let me read Deuteronomy 30. 532 00:34:50,250 --> 00:34:54,330 See, I've said today before you Life and good, death and evil. 533 00:34:54,610 --> 00:34:58,790 In that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk 534 00:34:58,790 --> 00:35:01,830 in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, his 535 00:35:01,830 --> 00:35:06,230 judgments that you would live and multiply, and that the Lord 536 00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:09,150 God would bless you in the land which you go to possess. 537 00:35:09,470 --> 00:35:13,350 But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, that's a 538 00:35:13,350 --> 00:35:17,230 big statement. But if your heart turns away so 539 00:35:17,230 --> 00:35:21,430 that you do not hear and are drawn away and worship other 540 00:35:21,430 --> 00:35:25,240 gods and serve them, I announced to you today that you shall 541 00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:27,400 surely perish. You know, we read that the 542 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:28,520 worship other, the gods and stars. 543 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,680 Then we think, well, I don't, I don't really have any idols 544 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,600 because we think that's such a I got to have a statue at home or 545 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,600 something. There's a lot of things that 546 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:44,320 become idols in our lives, a job, a relationship, money. 547 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,440 If you're empty in any kind of way and you don't deal with it, 548 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:56,010 something will become your idol. You will try to put your 549 00:35:56,010 --> 00:36:00,770 security in someone or something to fix you. 550 00:36:00,770 --> 00:36:05,130 And it will never fix you. Never, never fix you. 551 00:36:08,010 --> 00:36:10,850 James, Chapter One. I didn't finish reading, dude. 552 00:36:10,850 --> 00:36:14,610 Army 30I got caught up. Okay, let me finish reading it. 553 00:36:14,770 --> 00:36:17,530 If your heart turns away so you do not hear and are drawn away, 554 00:36:17,530 --> 00:36:18,970 and worship other gods and serve them. 555 00:36:18,970 --> 00:36:22,570 I announced to you today that you will surely perish. 556 00:36:22,970 --> 00:36:26,490 You shall not prolong your days in the land in which you cross 557 00:36:26,490 --> 00:36:28,330 over the Jordan to go in and possess. 558 00:36:28,610 --> 00:36:31,330 Now they went in and possess the land. 559 00:36:31,450 --> 00:36:34,730 But he says, you're not going to live long in it and you're not 560 00:36:34,730 --> 00:36:38,810 going to do well in it. Just because you've come into 561 00:36:38,810 --> 00:36:43,070 the land, you've come into the Kingdom of God, does not mean 562 00:36:43,070 --> 00:36:45,750 you're going to prolong your days or you're going to have 563 00:36:45,750 --> 00:36:49,310 victory in it. Unless you choose, unless you 564 00:36:49,310 --> 00:36:52,150 live on purpose. And like, unless you make that 565 00:36:52,150 --> 00:36:55,510 decision every day, I call heaven and earth to you as a 566 00:36:55,510 --> 00:36:58,920 witness today against you. And I almost want to say that 567 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:03,120 the the and me wants to say to you right now. 568 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,040 I call heaven and earth as a witness today against you. 569 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,920 That I've I didn't say before you laugh and death He did That 570 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,560 I've said before you life and death, blessing and cursing, 571 00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:15,280 therefore choose life. That both you and your 572 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,440 descendants may live. That you may love the Lord your 573 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,760 God, that you'll obey His voice and you may cling to him. 574 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,870 For he is your life and the length of your days, and that 575 00:37:26,870 --> 00:37:30,270 you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your father's 576 00:37:30,270 --> 00:37:32,350 Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to give them. 577 00:37:32,590 --> 00:37:35,710 James. Chapter One, my brethren, my 578 00:37:35,710 --> 00:37:45,070 cistern, count it all joy when you fall into various trials 579 00:37:45,750 --> 00:37:49,230 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 580 00:37:49,390 --> 00:37:52,110 That's all you need to know. You can leave now. 581 00:37:54,110 --> 00:37:58,490 That's all you need to know. That's all you got to know right 582 00:37:58,490 --> 00:38:00,730 there. Count it all. 583 00:38:00,730 --> 00:38:03,610 Joy, he's not counting it for you. 584 00:38:05,130 --> 00:38:09,050 You have to count it. And it says that as long as I 585 00:38:09,050 --> 00:38:12,570 know that when trials come, it's just testing my faith. 586 00:38:12,570 --> 00:38:15,690 And it's producing perseverance. You ought to jump at those 587 00:38:15,690 --> 00:38:19,050 trials. You ought to be like, bring it 588 00:38:19,050 --> 00:38:23,090 on. I'm not moved. 589 00:38:23,250 --> 00:38:27,340 Ha ha ha. That's how you want to face 590 00:38:27,340 --> 00:38:30,940 stuff. But we we curl up in a ball. 591 00:38:31,660 --> 00:38:37,500 But let patients have its perfect work, that you may be 592 00:38:37,500 --> 00:38:40,780 perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 593 00:38:41,940 --> 00:38:46,100 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to 594 00:38:46,100 --> 00:38:50,980 all, liberally and without reproach, and it will be given 595 00:38:50,980 --> 00:38:53,100 to Him. Man, you don't know what to do, 596 00:38:53,100 --> 00:38:55,810 ever. God knows He'll tell you. 597 00:38:55,810 --> 00:38:59,770 All you have to do is ask him. All you have to do is ask him. 598 00:39:00,250 --> 00:39:03,250 But let him ask him. Faith with no doubting. 599 00:39:03,810 --> 00:39:07,730 For here doubts, is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by 600 00:39:07,730 --> 00:39:09,370 the wind. The doubting is here. 601 00:39:09,650 --> 00:39:12,690 It's right here, driven and tossed by the wind. 602 00:39:12,770 --> 00:39:15,450 For let not that man suppose that he'll receive anything from 603 00:39:15,450 --> 00:39:21,180 the Lord, for he's a double minded man and stable in all his 604 00:39:21,180 --> 00:39:22,740 ways. You know, the Bible talks about 605 00:39:22,740 --> 00:39:27,660 so many different kinds of minds in Scripture, positive and 606 00:39:27,660 --> 00:39:30,820 negative. Number two. 607 00:39:30,820 --> 00:39:35,180 You got the first one right. OK, #2 meditate day and night. 608 00:39:37,140 --> 00:39:38,980 These are this is your prescription. 609 00:39:41,020 --> 00:39:44,260 You're in control of your soul, your emotions, your mind. 610 00:39:44,420 --> 00:39:48,720 Joshua 1/8 This book of the law shall not depart from your 611 00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:51,240 mouth. It shall not come depart from 612 00:39:51,240 --> 00:39:55,280 your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, 613 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,360 that you may observe to do according to all that's written 614 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,200 in it. For then you'll make your way 615 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,760 prosperous, and then you'll have good success. 616 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:08,000 Philippians, chapter 4, verse 8. Finally, brethren, whatever 617 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,280 things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are 618 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,080 just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely. 619 00:40:15,630 --> 00:40:18,310 Whatever things are of a good report, if there's any virtue, 620 00:40:18,310 --> 00:40:22,070 if there's anything praiseworthy, meditate on that. 621 00:40:23,630 --> 00:40:26,350 Meditate on these things, the things which you learned and 622 00:40:26,350 --> 00:40:29,590 received and heard and saw me these do, and the God of peace 623 00:40:29,590 --> 00:40:31,830 will be with you. Psalms 1. 624 00:40:32,110 --> 00:40:36,910 Meditate day and night, day and night, day and night. 625 00:40:37,510 --> 00:40:42,790 Blessed is the man who walks not in the council of the ungodly, 626 00:40:42,790 --> 00:40:48,140 or what the ungodly thinks, nor stands in the path of sinners, 627 00:40:48,340 --> 00:40:50,780 nor sits in the seat of the scornful. 628 00:40:51,100 --> 00:40:56,020 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in this law in his 629 00:40:56,020 --> 00:41:03,900 word he meditates day and night. That man shall be like a tree 630 00:41:04,220 --> 00:41:08,900 planted by the rivers of water that brings forth fruit in its 631 00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:11,140 season, and whose leaf does not wither. 632 00:41:11,140 --> 00:41:14,420 And whatever he does will prosper. 633 00:41:15,620 --> 00:41:18,500 Whatever he does will prosper. You know, Psalm 92. 634 00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:23,740 I don't have that in my notes, but it's It talks about again in 635 00:41:23,900 --> 00:41:28,100 old fruit, in in old fruit. In old age, you'll still bear 636 00:41:28,100 --> 00:41:32,010 fruit. We ought to always be bearing 637 00:41:32,010 --> 00:41:34,010 fruit, no matter what our age is. 638 00:41:34,010 --> 00:41:36,290 Always be growing, always be changing. 639 00:41:36,570 --> 00:41:41,410 Because right here, because you're transforming this, 640 00:41:41,410 --> 00:41:44,610 because you're choosing every day whom I'm going to serve 641 00:41:45,370 --> 00:41:47,930 every day, who are you going to serve? 642 00:41:49,890 --> 00:41:52,370 The reason we don't conquer is not a power issue. 643 00:41:54,290 --> 00:41:57,290 It's a strategy and a discipline issue. 644 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:03,400 The power is there. You've got the power. 645 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,320 I wanted to. I wanted to bust out. 646 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:11,320 You've got the power. You have that. 647 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:16,200 It's the strategy and it's the discipline to do it every day. 648 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,080 Every day. Isaiah 26, three and four. 649 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:24,640 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on 650 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:29,380 you because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever. 651 00:42:29,460 --> 00:42:33,780 For Yahweh, the Lord is your everlasting strength. 652 00:42:34,500 --> 00:42:37,500 He'll keep you in perfect peace if you'll keep your mind on him 653 00:42:37,980 --> 00:42:42,580 all the time. You can walk through death, you 654 00:42:42,580 --> 00:42:47,300 can walk through trial, you can walk through no matter what 655 00:42:47,300 --> 00:42:50,620 comes to you. And you can have peace because 656 00:42:50,620 --> 00:42:52,700 that peace surpasses your understanding. 657 00:42:53,020 --> 00:42:58,310 This is not a worldly peace. This is God's peace and and and 658 00:42:58,430 --> 00:43:00,790 it doesn't even you can't even comprehend it. 659 00:43:00,910 --> 00:43:03,510 I have peace. I remember my dad passed away 660 00:43:03,510 --> 00:43:06,350 and God, the Holy Ghost told me he was going to pass. 661 00:43:06,550 --> 00:43:11,310 So I knew I was prepared. And so the supernatural peace 662 00:43:11,550 --> 00:43:14,870 that covered me had such a peace didn't mean I didn't cry. 663 00:43:15,150 --> 00:43:19,310 When you go through things and you grieve, even in counseling, 664 00:43:19,510 --> 00:43:22,070 there's stages of grief. There's things that we go 665 00:43:22,070 --> 00:43:25,510 through, but we ought not to still be in those stages a year 666 00:43:25,510 --> 00:43:30,120 later, two years later, we ought to be coming out of those 667 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,280 things. God doesn't want you to stay in 668 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:34,960 that. Stay heavy. 669 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:41,960 OK, #3, you got to say so. You got to say so. 670 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:46,600 You overcome by the word of your testimony, by speaking the word 671 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,960 of God out. Psalms 1070. 672 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:53,400 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good and his mercy endures 673 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,920 forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say 674 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:01,200 so Who has redeemed from the hand of the enemy? 675 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,480 Remember what we did, the blessings and the curses. 676 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:08,880 Remember in Deuteronomy 28 when it said that they would be smite 677 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:13,760 with madness, that they would have astonishment of heart, all 678 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,520 of those things. You're redeemed from all that, 679 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,690 but you've got to say so. So when heaviness comes, when 680 00:44:21,690 --> 00:44:25,210 depression comes, when fear comes, you've got to say 681 00:44:25,210 --> 00:44:27,530 something. God, you didn't give me a spirit 682 00:44:27,530 --> 00:44:32,290 of fear, but of power and of love, and of a sound, sound 683 00:44:32,290 --> 00:44:36,250 mind. You have to say something. 684 00:44:37,210 --> 00:44:39,970 If we keep on reading down in verse eight of that of that 685 00:44:40,250 --> 00:44:42,850 passage, it says, oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord 686 00:44:42,850 --> 00:44:46,440 for his goodness and for his wonderful works to the children 687 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,560 of men. For he satisfies the longing 688 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:54,480 soul and fills the hungry soul with goodness. 689 00:44:54,680 --> 00:45:00,280 And the last point I want you to have is #4, Thanksgiving and 690 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:05,160 praise. You have to be purposeful every 691 00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:10,020 day to give thanks. I almost always want to mention 692 00:45:10,020 --> 00:45:12,620 Romans chapter one, and it's not in my notes. 693 00:45:12,620 --> 00:45:17,660 But the scripture says although they knew God, they did not 694 00:45:17,660 --> 00:45:20,780 honor him as God, nor were they thankful. 695 00:45:22,060 --> 00:45:26,060 And so he gave them over to a debased mind. 696 00:45:28,700 --> 00:45:32,860 A debased mind. You're not thankful, you're not 697 00:45:32,860 --> 00:45:36,020 going to yield. Then the powers of darkness have 698 00:45:36,180 --> 00:45:40,670 have access to you. They weren't thankful and they 699 00:45:40,670 --> 00:45:45,310 didn't honor him as God. Psalm chapter 80. 700 00:45:45,310 --> 00:45:49,030 Lord, oh Lord, how excellent is your name and all the earth who 701 00:45:49,030 --> 00:45:51,670 have set your glory above the heavens? 702 00:45:52,150 --> 00:45:54,150 Listen to verse two. And I want to tell you what it 703 00:45:54,150 --> 00:45:55,470 means. It says out of the mouth of 704 00:45:55,470 --> 00:45:59,750 babes and nursing infants, you have ordained strength or 705 00:45:59,870 --> 00:46:02,790 ordained praise. That is not just talking about 706 00:46:02,790 --> 00:46:04,670 babies. That's talking about his 707 00:46:04,670 --> 00:46:05,990 creation. That's you. 708 00:46:06,850 --> 00:46:09,690 That's me. So it says out of the mouth of 709 00:46:09,690 --> 00:46:12,890 you, out of the mouth of my creation. 710 00:46:13,050 --> 00:46:18,290 I have ordained praise because of the enemies, so that you will 711 00:46:18,290 --> 00:46:20,770 silence the enemy and the Avenger. 712 00:46:22,890 --> 00:46:26,370 Do I need to say that again out of the mouth of my creation? 713 00:46:26,370 --> 00:46:31,290 I have ordained praise and strength because of the enemies, 714 00:46:31,410 --> 00:46:34,490 so that you will silence the enemy and the Avenger. 715 00:46:34,650 --> 00:46:38,610 When you give him praise and you thank him because of what his 716 00:46:38,610 --> 00:46:44,570 word says, it silences the plan of the enemy for your life, his 717 00:46:44,570 --> 00:46:47,570 voice and your life. It makes it null and void. 718 00:46:47,730 --> 00:46:52,130 And he's ordained you for that. He's ordained you to praise. 719 00:46:52,130 --> 00:46:53,450 He's ordained you to be thankful. 720 00:46:53,730 --> 00:46:59,090 A thankful heart, the veggie tale says, is a happy heart for 721 00:46:59,090 --> 00:47:00,570 real. And I used to sing. 722 00:47:00,570 --> 00:47:02,930 We used to sing. I sing it mainly to our girls 723 00:47:02,930 --> 00:47:05,810 when they were little. Because thankful heart is a 724 00:47:05,810 --> 00:47:08,330 happy heart. Be glad for what you have. 725 00:47:08,330 --> 00:47:11,530 That's an easy way to start. So I would sing that to them 726 00:47:11,530 --> 00:47:14,530 like all the time, every day. Do you remember that, Coco? 727 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,880 Yeah, So. So it cultivated some 728 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:22,040 thankfulness and there's there's thankfulness in our home. 729 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,760 And you ought to be like that with everybody that you're 730 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,400 around. I love you. 731 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:32,480 I'm thankful for you. Thank you and mean it, mean it. 732 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:40,840 Okay Psalm 42. I'm wrapping up here. 733 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,520 Psalm 42. When David asked why he was, he 734 00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:48,600 was downcast When we read that scripture earlier, he said For 735 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:54,200 yet, I will still praise you. Why are you downcast so much? 736 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,240 No matter what I'm going through for yet, I will still give you 737 00:47:58,240 --> 00:48:02,680 praise no matter how I feel. First Thessalonians, chapter 5, 738 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,640 verses 16 through 18. In the midst of your emotions, 739 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:11,960 you have to choose life. You have to choose the word. 740 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:17,680 You have to choose praise if you want to be free, if you truly 741 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,600 want to be free first, that's only in chapter 5. 742 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,920 Verses 16 through 18 says rejoice. 743 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:27,560 Always pray without ceasing in everything give thanks and 744 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,480 everything give thanks. How do you do that? 745 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:32,960 How do you do that when you have, if you have a bill that 746 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,080 you can't pay? Are you saying thank you, Lord, 747 00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,600 that I have a bill I can't pay? No. 748 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,280 You're saying thank you, Lord, that you provide all my needs. 749 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,160 I'm not in denial, and we're not acting it to be weird. 750 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,440 I I have the bill. It's. 751 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:47,440 I see the bill. It's there. 752 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,120 I don't have the money for it. But, God, you said I have the 753 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,960 money for it. You said that you meet every one 754 00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:54,680 of my needs. So thank you, Lord, that you're 755 00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,120 providing that. And I'm not going to worry one 756 00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:00,520 bit Now, if you don't have a job, get a job. 757 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,240 If I can just say you can't just sit on, you know, there's 758 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,200 there's natural laws that you got to do. 759 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:12,390 Okay, rejoice, always pray without ceasing, and everything 760 00:49:12,390 --> 00:49:15,550 give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus. 761 00:49:15,550 --> 00:49:20,110 For you clausions. 315 And let the peace of God rule in your 762 00:49:20,110 --> 00:49:23,630 hearts, to which also you were called in one body. 763 00:49:24,070 --> 00:49:30,030 And be thankful, be thankful. 1st Corinthians 1557. 764 00:49:30,310 --> 00:49:36,560 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord 765 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:41,920 Jesus Christ, through our Lord Jesus Christ, Ephesians chapter 766 00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:46,120 5, verses 19 and 20 says, speaking to one another in 767 00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:52,160 psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody 768 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,400 in your heart to the Lord. You know it's OK to sing 769 00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,400 everywhere. Whether you can sing or not is 770 00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,560 irrelevant. It's OK to sing. 771 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,880 You should have a song in your heart every day. 772 00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:09,120 I wish we would have pulled up the video when when a song was 773 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,960 playing on the church hall and I walked out of the bathroom. 774 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,040 It was a charity Gale and I and that my favorite part. 775 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:19,680 And Anjali was coming and we went at the same time. 776 00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:24,920 Just because it was in there. You got to have a song in you. 777 00:50:26,620 --> 00:50:29,460 You ought to be singing. You ought to be able to dance. 778 00:50:29,460 --> 00:50:31,420 You ought to be able to have fun. 779 00:50:33,100 --> 00:50:36,180 You ought to have this at home, not just when you're here. 780 00:50:37,940 --> 00:50:41,700 Did I finish reading? Ephesians 5 versus 19 and 20. 781 00:50:41,820 --> 00:50:45,380 Singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord and 782 00:50:45,380 --> 00:50:47,300 giving thanks always. If you're getting water 783 00:50:47,300 --> 00:50:49,780 baptized, you can be dismissed to go change. 784 00:50:50,260 --> 00:50:56,990 Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the 785 00:50:56,990 --> 00:51:05,790 name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Psalm 103 Bless the Lord Oh my 786 00:51:05,790 --> 00:51:12,030 soul and all that is within me. Bless his holy name. 787 00:51:13,470 --> 00:51:19,870 Bless the Lord Oh my soul, and forget not all his benefits. 788 00:51:19,870 --> 00:51:24,090 You better not forget who forgives all your iniquities and 789 00:51:24,090 --> 00:51:27,890 heals all your diseases. Who redeems your life from 790 00:51:27,890 --> 00:51:32,730 destruction, and who crowns you with loving kindness and tender 791 00:51:32,730 --> 00:51:39,410 mercies, who satisfies your mouth with good things so that 792 00:51:39,410 --> 00:51:41,810 your youth is renewed like the Eagles. 793 00:51:43,130 --> 00:51:45,210 Oh, you can refuse to be troubled. 794 00:51:46,650 --> 00:51:51,130 You can refuse to yield to life circumstances. 795 00:51:52,210 --> 00:51:55,890 You know, in Psalm 23, it says he was seated at the table in 796 00:51:55,890 --> 00:52:01,410 the presence of his enemies. His enemies were there, and 797 00:52:01,410 --> 00:52:04,290 they're they're always there shooting those fiery darts. 798 00:52:04,530 --> 00:52:06,370 But I. But he stayed seated at the 799 00:52:06,370 --> 00:52:09,210 table. And that's what you have to do. 800 00:52:10,130 --> 00:52:15,130 You have to stay seated at the table every day and know that 801 00:52:15,130 --> 00:52:19,210 those trials that come to you, they're they're under your feet. 802 00:52:20,750 --> 00:52:24,830 You have dominion, You have authority. 803 00:52:25,470 --> 00:52:29,230 You have the power on the inside of you, but you have to choose 804 00:52:29,230 --> 00:52:34,910 it every day. Choose life. 805 00:52:35,150 --> 00:52:38,830 Choose dominion. Choose what God says over what 806 00:52:38,830 --> 00:52:43,510 your circumstances say. Romans chapter 8, verses 5 and 807 00:52:43,510 --> 00:52:47,610 six For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on 808 00:52:47,610 --> 00:52:49,970 the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the 809 00:52:49,970 --> 00:52:53,170 Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 810 00:52:53,170 --> 00:52:57,770 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually 811 00:52:57,890 --> 00:53:03,530 minded is life and peace. And the last scripture marked 812 00:53:03,530 --> 00:53:07,210 1230 says, And you shall love the Lord your God with all your 813 00:53:07,210 --> 00:53:15,010 heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, all your 814 00:53:15,010 --> 00:53:19,840 heart, all your soul and all your mind, and with all your 815 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:24,280 strength. This is the first commandment. 816 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:34,200 We have got to possess our soul. We have got to take dominion in 817 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:39,120 our thought life. When you come down here for a 818 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:43,400 healing line or wherever you are, if you come down here for 819 00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:49,550 anything and you get hands laid on you for sickness, in that 820 00:53:49,550 --> 00:53:57,350 moment you received the healing. But if you walk away and a 821 00:53:57,350 --> 00:54:02,550 symptom comes at you and you go, I don't think I got it. 822 00:54:03,430 --> 00:54:10,590 You nullified it all. And so sometimes when people 823 00:54:10,590 --> 00:54:14,990 come up for things or get hands laid on them for something you 824 00:54:14,990 --> 00:54:18,470 want to say, okay. Now listen, this is what you got 825 00:54:18,470 --> 00:54:21,430 to do. If you really want to conquer 826 00:54:21,430 --> 00:54:24,070 it, you have to believe that what happened right here 827 00:54:24,070 --> 00:54:28,310 happened by faith. It's done. 828 00:54:28,390 --> 00:54:30,150 We're drawing a line in the sand. 829 00:54:30,230 --> 00:54:33,670 Whatever thing it is today that you need to draw a line in the 830 00:54:33,670 --> 00:54:38,070 sand, I'm. I'm not like my family. 831 00:54:38,790 --> 00:54:41,510 The curse of the poverty is broken. 832 00:54:43,650 --> 00:54:49,770 Mental illness is broken. We can help you find some 833 00:54:49,770 --> 00:54:51,450 scriptures. You can do it on your own. 834 00:54:51,730 --> 00:54:58,370 Get you some scriptures to stand on every single day, live it out 835 00:54:58,370 --> 00:55:01,530 on purpose. Be purposeful, say it, speak it, 836 00:55:01,530 --> 00:55:04,490 declare it, and then thank him. Thank him that it's done. 837 00:55:04,490 --> 00:55:06,610 Thank you, Lord, that you've delivered me. 838 00:55:07,130 --> 00:55:09,890 You've delivered me out of that heaviness, out of that 839 00:55:09,890 --> 00:55:15,120 depression, out of that poverty, whatever it is, That's what you 840 00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,840 have to do every day if you're going to have the victory. 841 00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:24,400 So next time we have a service where where some of us take off 842 00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:30,320 running, I'm going to be like they conquered right here. 843 00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:35,880 I've been seeing them go around that same, that same mountain. 844 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:41,280 They did it. We can't do it for you, but you 845 00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,230 have everything you need to do it, everything you need. 846 00:55:44,510 --> 00:55:51,030 Now I want to make a call for anyone who has not made Jesus 847 00:55:51,030 --> 00:55:55,870 Lord.
