I like to get 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.000 started each week with something kind of funny, and I 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:22.240 heard about this old country farmer. He was taking his 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.880 nephew camping for the first time. His nephew had five 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.000 degrees and was one of the smartest men alive. They 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.080 set their tent up and quickly fell asleep. The middle 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.040 of the night. The farmer said to the nephew, look up, 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.480 what do you see. The nephew said, I see millions 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:39.200 of stars. 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.480 He said, I know that, But what does that tell you? 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:42.320 He said? 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:47.120 Astronomically, that tells me there are billions of galaxies. Meteorologically 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.200 that tells me is going to be a beautiful day. 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.160 Theologically that tells me God is a great creator. 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:53.200 What does it tell you? 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.000 The old farmer shook his head, said, it tells me 0:02:56.360 --> 0:03:01.800 somebody stole our tent. All right, hold up your bible. 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.880 Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.800 I am what it says, I am. I have what 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:10.320 it says I have, I can do what it says 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.080 I can do. Today I will be taught the word 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:17.400 of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:21.960 heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.680 God bless you. I want to talk to you today 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:30.359 about choosing faith instead of fear. Now, all through the day, 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.440 we have the choice to either believe that God is 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:37.080 in control, believe that He's taken care of us, believe 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.120 that good things are in store. Or we can go 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:44.160 around worried, expecting the worst, wondering if we're going to 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.280 make it. I hear people say I'm afraid I'm going 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.240 to lose my job, I'm afraid this marriage is not 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.960 going to last, or I'm afraid my child is going 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.680 to get mixed up with the wrong crowd. They don't 0:03:55.680 --> 0:04:00.360 realize it, but they're choosing fear instead of faith. Fear 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.920 and faith have something in common. They both ask us 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.600 to believe something is going to happen that we cannot see. 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:12.360 Fear says, believe the negative. That pain in your side, 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.240 that's the same thing your grandmother died from, probably be 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.800 the end of you. Faith says that sickness is not permanent, 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:23.239 it's only temporary. Fear says business is slow, you're gonna 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:27.000 go under. Faith says God is supplying all of your needs. 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.280 Fear says you've been through too much. You're never gonna 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.400 be happy. Faith says your best days are still out 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:34.039 in front of you. 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:35.559 Here's the key. 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.680 What we meditate on is what's gonna take root. If 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.720 we go around all day thinking about that fear, and 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.800 we let it play again and again, it can become 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.480 a reality. That's what Job said. The thing I feared 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.560 came upon me. I had a man tell me not 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.840 long ago, how everything was going great in his life. 0:04:56.200 --> 0:05:00.600 He'd recently gotten engaged, his business was blessed. But instead 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:04.839 of enjoying it, instead of thanking God for it, he said, Joel, I'm. 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.360 Afraid it's not gonna last. 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:10.039 I'm afraid it's too good to be true. I told 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.119 him what I'm telling you. When you act on fear 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.280 like that, you are drawing in the negative. You are 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.919 actually helping that fear come to pass. When that thought 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.800 comes saying you're doing good, but get ready, it's going 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:23.680 to come to an end. 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.200 Don't let it take root. Just switch over. 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.520 Into faith and say, Father, you said your favor will 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:33.080 last for a lifetime. You said goodness and mercy will 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.040 follow me all the days of my life. That's choosing 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:37.559 faith instead of fear. 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:39.520 I remember one. 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.080 Time I was facing a situation that had the potential 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.200 to turn out really bad, and it had gone on 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:45.599 for months and months. 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.680 And involved other people. Every morning when I woke up, 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:50.200 the first thought that came. 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.800 To my mind was this is not gonna work out. 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:54.640 It's going to cause you a lot of heart ache. 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.560 You might as well make plans for defeat. That's the 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:58.560 way fear is. 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.280 It'll try to dominate your thought life if you allow it. 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.400 Fear will keep you awake at night. Fear will steal 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.760 your joy, still your enthusiasm. I was so tempted to 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:12.400 be worried and go around with that dark cloud fallowing 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.800 me around. But one day I heard God say something 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.800 to me, not out loud, it was just an impression. 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:18.840 Down in here. 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.640 He said, Joel, if you worry about this and you 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.400 keep mulling over all the reasons why it's not going 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:29.040 to work out, then because of your worry, you're going 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.960 to allow that to come to pass. But if you 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:36.040 will trust me and use that same energy to believe 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.560 instead of worry. Then I will turn around and cause 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.400 it to work out to your advantage. When I heard that, 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:47.200 I got a new perspective. I realized that worry fear wrong, 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.520 thinking that's not just a bad habit that is allowing 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.839 the negative to come to pass. I made a decision 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.120 from that moment on, I wasn't going to worry about 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.479 it anymore. When I was tempted to get discouraged, I 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.320 just use that as a reminder to thank God that 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.720 he was in control and to thank him that he 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:05.480 was fighting my. 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:06.159 Battles for me. 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:11.320 Several months later, that situation not only resolved in my favor, 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.360 but it turned out better than I could even imagine. 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:18.600 It was like God was putting an exclamation point on it, saying, see. 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.040 Joel, if you'll just believe, if you'll just. 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.920 Trust me, I'll not only bring you out, but I'll 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.720 bring you out better off than you were before. And 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.000 today we have so many opportunities to worry and live 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:34.120 in fear. People are worried about the economy, worried about 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.600 their health, worried about their children. God is saying to 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.880 you what he said to me. Don't use your energy 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:44.440 to worry, use your energy to believe. It takes the 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.600 same amount of energy to believe as it does to worry. 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.080 It's just as easy to say God is supplying all 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.080 of my needs as it is to say I'm never 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.920 gonna make It. Takes the same amount of effort to 0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:00.320 say I'm going to live a long, healthy life as 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.960 it does to say I don't think I'll ever get well. 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.160 I hear people say, well, Jeel, I'm afraid I'm going 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.840 to get laid off, and I understand what they're saying. 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:12.240 They're concerned. It may be valid, but. 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:16.320 You can't go around meditating on that, expecting the worst, 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:18.160 expecting to have a bad year. 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:20.239 When you do that, you're. 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:24.520 Using your faith in reverse instead of constantly worrying. Just 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:28.000 say God, my life is in your hands. I know 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:32.160 you're guiding and directing my steps. And I'm not expecting defeat. 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:36.040 I'm not expecting failure. I'm expecting to have a blessed year. 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:40.560 I'm expecting to go over and not under Well. You say, Joel, 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.880 what if I do that and it doesn't happen. What 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.559 if you do it and it does happen? Even if 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.280 you were to get laid off. You don't have to 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.720 get discouraged. Think well, all I knew it wouldn't work 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.600 for me. No, you can stay in faith knowing that 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.400 when one door closes, God's going to open up another door, 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:57.920 and if you'll keep the right attitude, he'll give you 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:02.240 a better job with better benefits, making better money. Let 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:07.280 me ask you today, are you using your energy to believe? 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.560 Or are you using your energy to worry? Are you 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:14.400 expecting God's favor or are you expecting to just barely 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:18.240 get by? Jesus said there in Matthew nine twenty nine, 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:23.040 have what your faith expects. When our son Jonathan was 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.520 just a little baby, I was holding him in a 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:29.160 restaurant as we were eating dinner. This couple came up 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.920 that we didn't know, just being friendly and started talking 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.680 to us, and they were complimenting us on how good 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:38.280 Jonathan was and how quiet he was being. But just 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.640 before they left the restaurant, they said, you just wait 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.520 till he gets to be about two years old. It's 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.440 like he'll turn into a different person. He's good now, 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:51.280 but those terrible two's are coming. I wanted to say 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.600 thank you so much for your encouragement. Boy, they really 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.480 lifted my spirits. But when we left there, I told 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.560 Victoria I am not receiving that. It is not going 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.680 to be the terrible twos for us. It's gonna be 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:06.520 the terrific tooths. And you know, we didn't have a 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.640 problem with Jonathan when he was two or three or four. 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.199 He got to be about ten years old, people started saying, 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.920 just wait till he gets to be a teenager. You 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.559 talking about giving you problems, giving you a headaches. Well, 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.480 Jonathan's been a teenager for almost a year. Do you 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:26.640 know he still hadn't started cursing. He still hadn't gotten rebellious. 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.720 He's just as kind, as respectful as he's always been. 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.320 Next thing people will say, well, just wait till he 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.320 turns eighteen, gets out on his own, Wait till he 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.480 hits forty Joe, when he gets to be seventy five. 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.880 I've made up my mind. I am not gonna let 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:49.280 people talk me into settling for mediocrity. I'm not activating 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:53.160 my fears, I'm activating my faith. We're not expecting our 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:56.760 children to cause us problems. We're expecting them to excel. 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:00.520 We're expecting them to do great things in life. Your 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.880 children are going to rise to the level of your expectations. 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:06.679 If you expect them to give you trouble and cause 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.440 your headaches and knot them out too much. 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:10.400 Because you're putting. 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.480 Your faith in your fears, you're allowing that to come 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.760 to pass. Really, it's like you're believing that in Too 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.400 many people today are going around expecting the worst. 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:21.280 It's like this lady I heard. 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:25.440 About practically every night for years she thought she heard 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:29.199 a burglar downstairs. She would make her husband get up 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.120 at least once a week, year after year, and go 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.440 downstairs check it out, make sure everything was all right. 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.600 Sure enough, one day she thought she heard something. She 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.520 told her husband, get up, Get up, somebody is downstairs. 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:45.200 He got up, went down so routinely, like he had 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.480 done a thousand times before. This time, his eyes got 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.800 so big. He was staring down the barrel of a gun. 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.280 The burglar said, don't make a sound, just. 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.920 Give me your valuables. He went and got the valuables, 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.680 handed them to the burglar. Burglar turned her was about 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.160 to run off. He said, hey, wait a minute, you 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:04.200 can't leave yet. 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:09.079 You've got to come upstairs and meet my wife. He said, 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:15.040 she's been expecting you for thirty years. We got to 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:19.880 change what we're expecting quite expecting the worst, and start 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:24.120 expecting God's favor. I know people that are being talked 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:27.360 in to heaven a bad year. They've listened to the 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:31.280 news report so long. They're expecting their finances to go down. 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:35.120 They're expecting to barely get by. Know our attitude should 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.800 be I'm expecting to have my best year so far. 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:41.240 I'm expecting God to prosper me in the desert. I'm 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:45.760 expecting every negative situation to turn around. And if we're 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.319 going to stay in faith, we've got to be careful 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:52.120 who our friends are. Be careful who you associate with. 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:58.000 Do you know fear is contagious, Worry is contagious, Negativity 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:01.880 is contagious. If you're around people that are always complaining 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.200 and discouraged, that spirit. 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:04.840 Can get off on you. 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.240 I read an article that talked about how we can 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.960 catch other people's emotions just like we can catch a cold. 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.000 They did a study where they gave a group of 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:19.559 people a mild electrical shock, and they measured their brainwaves 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:21.480 from the time they heard they were going to get 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.600 the shock till the time that was over. What's interesting 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.640 is they had another group in the room that were 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:30.040 just there to watch. They measured their brain waves as well, 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.560 and even though they were not getting the shock, they 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:37.280 experienced the same fears as the people that were getting 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:42.440 the shock. The researcher's conclusion was just seeing other people's 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:46.200 fears is enough to make us afraid. If your friends 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:50.200 are constantly complaining, talking about how bad it is and 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.240 how they're not going to make it, and they've got 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.120 that report of doom and gloom, let me give you 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:59.800 some good advice. Find some new friends that worry. Fear 0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:04.840 That discouragement is contagious. If you stay around them long enough, 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.920 there's a good chance you're going to catch what they have. 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.080 I know you love your friends. You don't have to 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:10.680 be rude. 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.640 Don't go announce to them Tomorrow morning, Joel told me 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:17.800 you're contagious. Man, I'm staying away from you. They'll be 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.400 more tactful than that, and do me a favor. Don't 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:24.640 use my name either. You can be kind, you can 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:28.480 be respectful, but just gradually begin to pull back and 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.560 don't spend as much time with them. You shouldn't go 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:35.040 to lunch every day with somebody that's always crying the 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:38.400 blues and talking about how bad the economy is. You 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.680 can't do that and not expect it to affect you. 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.760 I know some of you may have to be around 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.600 people like that. Maybe a coworker's like that, and you 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.520 don't have a choice. Perhaps you married somebody like that. 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.160 If that's the case, God will give you the grace 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.960 to overcome. But what you need to do is when 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.800 you're not around them, you need to take heavy doses 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:02.080 of faith, heavy doses of hope. Filled your mind with victory. 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.960 I heard about this man. His friends decided to play 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.400 a trick on him. He went to work one morning 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.240 feeling great, just as happy as can be. When he 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:15.040 walked in, the receptionist said, are you feeling okay today? 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:17.240 He said, yeah, I feel great. Why? 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:19.640 She said, I don't know. You just looking a little different. 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.000 You look a little bit pale. He didn't think about 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.160 anything about it and went to his office. Ten minutes later, 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.080 a coworker came in and said, are you real tired? 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:30.800 You don't look up to par He said, no, I 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.480 feel fine. A few minutes he started thinking, maybe I 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:34.280 am a little tired. 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.320 Another man came by. They talked for a moment. Then 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:40.520 he said, do you have a fever? You really look warm. 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:42.720 The guy began to loosen his tie. He said, you 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.720 know what, I am feeling kind of hot. Another man 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.240 came by and said, you look terrible today, what's wrong 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.520 with you? By ten o'clock in the morning, the man 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:51.480 had gone home sick. 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:55.520 That is the power of suggestion. 0:15:56.400 --> 0:16:00.320 If we don't guard our mind and be careful about 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.920 what we allow in, we can be talked into a 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.640 whole lot of things. If you get up in the morning, 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.880 first thing, turn the news on, hear how bad it is. 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:11.760 Driving to work. You put on more doom and gloom. 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.640 At lunch, you go to people that talk about how 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.640 bad it is. You can be talked in to live 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.520 in a defeated life. You can be talked into dragging 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.440 through the day. The funny thing is, just like with 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.680 this man, there's nothing really wrong with you. Just because 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.840 they said it doesn't mean that it's true. Just because 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:33.080 a so called expert predicts it doesn't mean we have 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.880 to swallow it and live our life by Have you 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:39.320 ever thought about the experts could be wrong? Well, the 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:42.320 next three years are going to be dreadful and disastrous. 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:44.640 Just make plans to get by. Now. 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:46.680 We can either start loosening our tie and say you 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:48.880 know what, I am feeling a little bad, or we 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:50.760 can say you know what I feel just great. 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:52.680 I know God is still on the throne. 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:57.520 He is Jehovah Jyrah, the Lord, my provider. I am 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:02.720 stronger than ever. I'm asking you today to not go homesick, 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.320 don't give up on your dreams, and make plans to 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:08.719 survive just because somebody talked you out of it. 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.560 That's one report. But I've got another report. 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:15.320 It says you are blessed, You are prosperous, You are talented, 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:17.680 you are creative, You are well able to. 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.359 Do what God has called you to do. And I 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:21.960 know I like to watch the news. 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.800 I like to know what's going on, but I'm careful 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:28.600 to recognize when I've got the information I've needed and 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:32.160 when it's just redundant doom and gloom that I don't 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:35.840 need to be hearing again and again. With today's technology, 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:40.119 twenty four hour cable internet radio, some days the same 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:44.200 bleak picture is told one hundred different ways every hour. 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:46.359 It looks like a new headline, but really. 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:49.000 It's just the same old news being repackaged. And if 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:51.560 we're not careful, we'll get worn down and we'll start 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.359 to accept it. We'll begin to think that it's okay 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.719 to fail. It's happening to everybody. Just a matter of 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.400 time before I lose my house. I want when I'm 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:02.879 gonna get laid off, Wonder when my health is gonna 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.960 go down. No, turn that off and keep your mind 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.359 filled with thoughts of victory. 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:09.840 Now I've learned, just. 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:11.840 As you can be talked into having a bad year, 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:14.920 you can be talked into having a great year. Yes, 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:19.000 fear is contagious, but the good news is faith is contagious. 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:22.280 Victory is contagious. Joy is contagious. 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:26.119 That's why it's so important to come out to a 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:29.840 place like Lakewood. You need to get around other people 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:33.760 of faith on a regular basis. You know what's happening today. 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:37.399 You're not catching a cold, You're catching healing. You're not 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:39.520 catching defeat. You're catching victory. 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:44.080 You're not catching doom and gloom. You're catching hope. You're 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:45.160 catching a bigger. 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:48.439 Vision, You're catching God's favor. I've got to warn you, 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:50.000 we are contagious. 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:52.080 Whether you realize it or not, you. 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:55.760 Are getting stronger, You're getting more joy, you're getting. 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:58.040 More peace, your faith is increasing. 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.240 When you get around other peaceeople that are blessed and 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:04.439 happy and prosperous and full of faith, they are making 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:07.399 you better. And I know sometimes you may not feel 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:11.840 like coming to church. You had a long week, you're tired, discouraged, 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:14.879 or maybe you don't feel like turning the television on 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:17.359 early in the morning. But that's when you need to 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:20.480 do it more than ever. You need somebody speaking faith 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.600 into you. You need to be around other believers that 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:27.840 will lift your spirits. We are drawing strength from each other. 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:31.000 You may not know that person sitting on your left 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.440 or your right, but their faith, their joy, their peace, 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:37.880 their victory, they're making you better. You're gonna go out 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:40.719 of here today, you know, stronger than you were before, 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:41.880 in part because of them. 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.680 They are highly contagious. But when we give. 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:49.639 Into these thoughts of fear, it distorts our perspective. Fear 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:53.880 is like a fog. It obscures our vision. It makes 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.480 things look worse than they really are. And I read 0:19:56.520 --> 0:20:00.800 where a dense fog that covers seven city blocks and 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:04.240 as one hundred feet thick can be contained in. 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.200 Less than one glass of water. 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.879 In other words, it looks big, it looks intimidating, but 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:13.040 the fact is there's nothing really to it. It's just 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:15.920 a bunch of vapors that can fit in a small glass. 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:19.520 And when that fear comes against your mind saying you're 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:22.040 not gonna make it, that sickness is gonna be the 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:24.879 end of you, your marriage, your family, you're not gonna 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:28.600 stay together. Just look at that fear and say, you 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:32.359 look big, you sound impressive, but I know better, there's 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:33.639 nothing really to you. 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:34.760 You're just like a fog. 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:39.000 We were flying out of Calgary, Canada, earlier this week 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:41.959 and our plane was delayed an hour or so because 0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:44.359 of the fog. And when we were finally able to 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:47.240 take off, I was amazed. We weren't in the air 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:50.760 fifteen seconds before we broke through that fog, and you 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:53.440 could look down and see it was just a small 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:56.600 pocket of fog, probably didn't cover more than a quarter 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.800 of a mile area. What's funny is when we were 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:02.840 at the airport, we thought the whole city was fogged in. 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:06.760 We thought everything must be shut down, But in reality, 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:10.200 it was just a tiny pocket of fog. And that's 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:13.360 the way fear is. It looks much bigger than it is. 0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:17.720 It looks much more intimidating. It'll tell you you're never 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:21.520 gonna get well. That child is never gonna change, Your 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:24.800 finances are going to keep getting worse and worse. You 0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:28.119 need to look at that fear and say, you sound impressive, 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:31.280 you look tough, but I know the truth. There's nothing 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:34.520 really to you. You may talk a good talk, but 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:36.840 I know your bite is not near as big as 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:39.800 your bark. You may look permanent, but I know you're 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:42.919 only temporary. And things in my life may be a 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:46.080 little dark and cloudy right now, looks like it's never 0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:50.080 gonna change. But I've got inside information. I know the 0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:52.840 sun is still shining, and it's just a matter of 0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:56.359 time before this fog dissipates, and it's gonna be just 0:21:56.400 --> 0:22:00.640 as clear and beautiful as it's always been. Give into 0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:04.160 that fear. It's just a fog. It's not near as 0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:07.119 bad as it's telling you. But when we make the 0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:11.520 mistake of dwelling on it, those fears turn into imaginations. 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:15.800 Our mind will start playing out every worst case scenario, 0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:19.520 just like you're watching a movie. Negative thoughts turn into 0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:24.000 negative imaginations. If you allow it, a small fear can 0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:28.320 multiply and get blown way out of proportion. For instance, 0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:31.320 you have that pain in your side, it's nothing, you 0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:32.719 just had too much for dinner. 0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:37.320 But that thought will come. That's cancer. Your mother had it, 0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:39.479 your grandmother had it. Now it's your time. 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:44.160 If you swallow that lie, go around worried and discouraged. 0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:47.919 Before long, you'll start to see yourself in the hospital. 0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:51.040 You'll see yourself not able to take care of your children. 0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:54.480 You'll see yourself at your own funeral. No, you've got 0:22:54.480 --> 0:23:00.639 to cast down those wrong imaginations. Don't let negative pictures play. 0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:03.719 On the movie screen of your mind. You are the owner. 0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:06.800 You've got the remote control. Change the channel. 0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:10.240 If you're gonna let your imagination run wild, let it 0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:13.320 run wild in the right direction. Put on the movie 0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:16.480 of you accomplish in your dreams. Show the scene of 0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:21.719 you overcoming that obstacle. See yourself, healthy, prosperous, rising higher. 0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:25.640 You've got to do it by faith in the natural. 0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:27.840 It may look like your family is never going to 0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:31.800 stay together, but your attitude should be I'm changing the channel. 0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:35.280 I'm not watching that movie. I see my family restored. 0:23:35.840 --> 0:23:39.840 I see my children excelling. I see us fulfilling our destiny. 0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:43.439 You've got to choose the right channel. Some of you 0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:46.240 today you would go to a new level if you 0:23:46.440 --> 0:23:49.280 just be more disciplined in your thought life and not 0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:53.600 allow those negative images to constantly play. I heard about 0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:55.800 this twenty three year old woman. She went to the 0:23:55.840 --> 0:23:58.640 grocery store and got some groceries, and she got back 0:23:58.640 --> 0:24:01.199 in her car and sat down, and she heard a 0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:04.679 loud noise and felt something hit the back of her head. 0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:07.960 She thought she had been shot. She reached up and 0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:10.680 felt what she thought were her brains coming out. 0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:12.960 She initially passed out. 0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:15.880 She woke up a few minutes later and sat there 0:24:16.040 --> 0:24:19.359 motionless for over an hour, holding the back of her head. 0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:22.879 A gentleman walked by and noticed that something was wrong. 0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:26.000 He called the police. The police showed up and asked 0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:26.800 her to open. 0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:27.160 The car door. 0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:30.439 She said she couldn't, she had been shot and she 0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:34.280 was holding her brains in The police broke open the 0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:39.120 window and they discovered a can of Pillsbury biscuits had exploded. 0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:44.080 That dough had hit the back of her head. That's 0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:49.160 what she thought was her brains. Don't let your imagination 0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:51.040 run wild in the wrong direction. 0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:54.440 That is a true story. 0:24:54.880 --> 0:25:00.679 And I've got to tell you she was blonde. But 0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:04.639 some of us today, you are not even listening to me. 0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:08.600 Now. Some of us today kind of feel like we've 0:25:08.640 --> 0:25:09.200 been shot. 0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:12.359 The economy's bad, we got a health issue, got this 0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:16.400 big problem. God is saying you're fine. It's not what 0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:19.360 you think. It's just a loud noise. But this too 0:25:19.400 --> 0:25:23.160 shall pass. Put on the right channel. Don't allow those 0:25:23.280 --> 0:25:28.040 negative images to play in your mind. I remember about 0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:31.080 a year after I first started ministering, the church was 0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:33.679 really growing, and we decided to take a step of 0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:37.240 faith and start a second Sunday morning service. And so 0:25:37.320 --> 0:25:39.680 I announced that on the first Sunday of the year 0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:42.560 two thousand, we were going to start this new morning service. 0:25:43.000 --> 0:25:45.280 And that was in October, and so I had several 0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:47.840 months to think about it. And during that time I 0:25:47.880 --> 0:25:51.600 had all these negative thoughts come telling me that it 0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:54.760 was a big mistake, nobody was gonna come, and I 0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:55.960 was gonna get there and look. 0:25:55.920 --> 0:25:56.480 Like a fool. 0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:59.480 All these fears were coming against my mind. Now, I 0:25:59.480 --> 0:26:02.200 did my best to stay in faith, but one night 0:26:02.320 --> 0:26:05.760 I had a dream A better description would be a nightmare. 0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:08.919 And in this dream, it was that first Sunday of 0:26:08.960 --> 0:26:12.240 the new service. When I walked out to minister, there 0:26:12.320 --> 0:26:16.679 was not one person in the auditorium, not Victoria, not 0:26:16.880 --> 0:26:20.800 my mother, not one choir member, not one usher, nobody. 0:26:21.240 --> 0:26:23.200 I woke up in a cold sweat. 0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:27.080 The enemy was working overtime on my mind. He said, Joel, 0:26:27.119 --> 0:26:30.120 there's still time to cancel it. You can still call 0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:33.440 it off and maybe halfway save face. It was very 0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:36.920 difficult to get that image of an empty auditorium out 0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:39.760 of my mind. I didn't tell anybody about the dream, 0:26:39.800 --> 0:26:42.359 but I's a little bit worried about it. The week 0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:45.560 of that first service, I saw my mother. I was 0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:48.359 talking to her and just kind of asked her nonchalockly, 0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:49.960 trying to get some information. 0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:50.120 Out of her. 0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:53.400 I said, Mother, are you coming to the new service 0:26:53.480 --> 0:26:58.679 this weekend? She said, Joel, does it start this week? 0:26:59.320 --> 0:27:01.680 I thought, dear God, that dream might have been a prophecy. 0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:06.159 I said, yes, it starts this week, mother, and you 0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:09.880 need to bring your friends, enemies, cousins, relatives, and ancestors. 0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:13.440 I had to do what I'm asking you to do. 0:27:13.800 --> 0:27:17.479 When those negative images came up. I kept changing the channel. 0:27:17.960 --> 0:27:20.080 I made up my mind. I wasn't going to watch 0:27:20.160 --> 0:27:23.359 the empty auditorium channel. I wasn't going to watch the 0:27:23.400 --> 0:27:27.160 defeat channel. I wasn't choosing the fear channel. I put 0:27:27.160 --> 0:27:29.919 on a different movie. Through my eyes of faith, I 0:27:30.000 --> 0:27:33.639 saw that place full. I kept telling myself, this fear 0:27:33.760 --> 0:27:36.919 is just a fog. It's trying to intimidate me. But 0:27:37.000 --> 0:27:39.879 I know there's nothing really to it. I pulled up 0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:41.919 the first Sunday of the year two thousand. I got 0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:44.719 there like an hour early. I'll never forget. When I 0:27:44.760 --> 0:27:48.400 pulled in, one parking lot was already totally full. There 0:27:48.400 --> 0:27:51.200 were over six thousand people at that new service. They've 0:27:51.200 --> 0:27:55.600 been coming ever since then. What am I saying? You've 0:27:55.640 --> 0:28:01.400 got to cast down those wrong imaginations. Let those negative 0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:04.640 pictures play on the movie screen of your mind. You've 0:28:04.640 --> 0:28:05.800 got the remote control. 0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:07.040 Change the channel. 0:28:07.560 --> 0:28:10.280 Don't be talked into having a down year. I'm trying 0:28:10.280 --> 0:28:12.720 to talk you into having a great year. There is 0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:16.200 no obstacle too big for you, no enemy too powerful. 0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:19.320 Our God is all powerful, and you may not see 0:28:19.359 --> 0:28:20.200 how it can happen. 0:28:20.440 --> 0:28:23.920 But don't use your energy to worry. Use your energy to. 0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:27.000 Believe God has brought you through in the past and 0:28:27.040 --> 0:28:29.960 He is gonna bring you through in the future. Surround 0:28:30.000 --> 0:28:33.240 yourself with people of faith, people that speak victory into you. 0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:37.160 If you'll be disciplined in your thought life and learn 0:28:37.200 --> 0:28:40.320 to choose faith instead of fear, let me just declare it. 0:28:40.360 --> 0:28:44.120 You're gonna overcome every obstacle. You're gonna defeat every enemy, 0:28:44.360 --> 0:28:47.200 and you're gonna see every dream, every promise God put 0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:49.120 in your heart, it will come to pass. 0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:52.360 Amen.
