Not 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.320 like to sart with something funny and I heard about 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.079 this man he called the church office and. 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.160 Said I want to speak to the head hog at 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.920 the trough. The secretary was offended. 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.120 She said, if you mean the pastor, you're going to 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.480 have to call him pastor, but you may not call 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.000 him the head hog at the trough. 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.120 He said, well fine, but I. 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.560 Was thinking about making a five thousand dollars donation to 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.720 your church. She said, hang on, Porky just walked in. 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.880 Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.680 I am what it says I am. I have what 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.240 it says I have. I can do what it says 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.040 I can do. Today I will be talked the word 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:44.240 of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:45.480 heart is receptive. 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:49.560 I will never be the same. In Jesus's name, God 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:50.200 bless you. 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.000 I want to talk to you today about choosing a 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:58.640 good mood. God created us as emotional beings. We can 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:03.320 all feel things. I feel joy, excitement, passion, and we 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.160 can feel sadness, sorrow, discouragement. 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.200 Feelings come to us all. But here's the key. 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.919 Feelings don't always tell us the truth. Feelings are not facts. 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.679 When you wake up in the morning, you can feel gloom, despair, 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:19.280 nothing good in your future. 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.000 Then you get a cup of coffee and you feel great. 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.400 You're back to normal. Feelings can change on a dime. 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.919 The mistake we make is we let feelings determine our mood. 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.240 We wake up and think, how do I feel today? 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.400 If we feel the blaws, then we go around discourage, 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.000 We get stuck in traffic. 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.920 I feel upset. Someone is rude to us. 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.960 I feel offended. We have a bad break. I feel 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:48.040 self pity. We wonder why we don't enjoy life. It's 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:52.040 because we're being ruled by our feelings. You can't stop 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.640 feelings from coming, but you can say feelings. You are 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.800 not the boss of me. You are not going to 0:03:57.880 --> 0:03:59.480 control my life. 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.600 When you wake up in the morning, you may feel 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.880 the blaws. I don't want to go to work. 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.560 I don't want to deal with these children have so 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:08.600 many problems right there. 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:10.080 You have a choice. 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.000 Are you going to let those feelings dictate your mood 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.160 or are you going to rule over those feelings and 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.400 decide what kind of mood you're going to be in. 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.960 You have to be proactive. Father, Thank you that this 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.400 is going to be a great day. I know I'm 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:28.120 surrounded by your favor, goodness and mercy are following me. 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:29.279 You said your. 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:32.719 Whole victory in store for the upright. Don't wait for 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.839 the feelings to come. Get your mind filled with the 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.480 right thoughts, and the feelings will eventually follow your thoughts. 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:41.600 This is what David did. 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:45.159 He had all kinds of trouble, armies coming against him, 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:49.000 people slandering him. His own son was trying to take 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:55.279 the throne. You can imagine how strong those negative feelings were. Discouragement, anger, 0:04:55.480 --> 0:05:00.680 self pity. When everything said be depressed, be sour, he 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.160 woke up in the morning and said, this is the 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.560 day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:10.680 glad in it. He wasn't just being positive, he was 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:11.920 telling his feelings. 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.400 You're not going to rule me. You're not going to 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:15.640 determine my future. 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:20.320 Your will is more powerful than your feelings. You have 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:24.480 to say to discouragement, I will rejoice. Say to self pity, 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:28.760 I will be glad today. Say to sadness, the blaws, 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.839 to no passion, You're not going to control my life. 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.640 I may feel you, but you're not telling me the truth. 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.800 You don't dictate my future. I will live this day 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.680 in faith. I will rejoice, I will. 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:45.040 Be glad in it. See when we're controlled. 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.560 By how we feel, that's a very surface way to live. 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:49.599 You have to go deeper than that. 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.720 You can't stop negative feelings from coming, but you don't 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.720 have to get on board with them. 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:57.880 Imagine you're at a train station. 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.720 The conductor says all of board, and you ask where 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.920 the train is going. He says, it's going to discouragement. 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.240 It's going to self pity, it's going to offence. You 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.080 would say, no thanks, I'm not going there. I'm gonna 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:15.039 enjoy this day. That's what our feelings do. You wake 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.559 up in the morning, they say, all aboard, it's gonna 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:18.479 be a lousy day. 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:20.359 Traffic's gonna be bad. 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.760 You don't like the people at work, your spouse gets 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:28.120 on your nerves. Last call for the depression Express. Too 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:31.760 often we hand them our ticket. Step right on, No 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:35.480 quit getting on board with those feelings. Try a different 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:39.560 approach next time those negative feelings say all aboard, Say 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:41.720 no thanks, you have the wrong passenger. 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:43.680 I'm not going where you're going. 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:49.960 My destination is joy, peace, abundance, victory. You can't stop 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:54.039 the negative feelings from coming. Will always be opportunities to 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:58.720 be discouraged. Offended, upset, But you have to make the choice. 0:06:58.880 --> 0:06:59.600 That's not for me. 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.680 I'm going to live this day in faith. I'm going 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.920 to focus on what's right. I want to enjoy my family. 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.000 I'm going to be grateful. I'm choosing to have a 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.920 good mood. That's how you rule your feelings and not 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:16.119 let them rule you. When you get your mind going 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.680 in the right direction, fill with thoughts of faith, hope, 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:23.720 and victory, you'll drive away the blaws, the discouragement, and 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:28.240 the discontentment. The Apostle Paul said, I think myself happy. 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:33.600 You can think yourself discouraged, think yourself better, or you 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:37.080 can try a better approach, and despite how you feel, 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.800 you can think yourself into a good mood. Instead of 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:44.440 dwelling on what you don't have, what's wrong, what didn't 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.640 work out, start thinking about what God promised you. 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.080 Father, you said, my latter days will be better than 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:52.040 my former days. 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.280 You said, I haven't seen, heard, or imagined what you 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:56.120 have in store. 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:58.760 Maybe a child is off course. 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.400 Instead of living world worried, Father, you said, my children 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.120 will be mighty in the land. You said that from 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:09.560 generation to generation, we will tell of your goodness. Instead 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.760 of following your feelings. You can get your feelings to 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:16.320 follow you. When you lie in the bed in the morning, 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.200 you can dwell on the negative, everything that's wrong. You're 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:24.240 going to draw in more negative, more discouragement. Or in 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.480 the face of those feelings, you can start thinking faith 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:31.040 filled thoughts, positive, hopeful, uplifting. 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:32.720 That's what you're going to draw in. 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.480 And it's important to start the day off in faith. 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.720 This is when the enemy works over time to try 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.000 to give you the blaws, instead of. 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:43.480 Letting him set the tone. 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.520 Why don't you set the tones before you get out 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.960 of bed. You need to decide it's going to be 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.360 a good day and you're going to live it in faith. 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.040 The scripture says joy comes in the morning. 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.280 Every morning. Joy is waiting for you. But let me 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.360 tell you what else comes in the morning. Guilt, look 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.040 at the mistakes you've made. 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:08.680 Bitterness, boy, they did you wrong, Discouragement, nothing good is 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:10.640 in your future, self pity. 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:12.120 Why were you raised like that? 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.800 God sends joy every morning just for you, but the 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:18.720 enemy sends all these other things. 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.760 Now you get to choose. Here's the key. The negative 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:24.920 is easier living off. 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.240 The surface, just going by what you feel letting that 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:29.280 dictate your day. 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:31.280 That doesn't take any effort. 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.560 But if you're going to live a victorious life, if 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.200 you're going to reach your full potential, you have to 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:41.280 go deeper and not be ruled by your emotions, not 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:45.040 let feelings dictate your day. You have to choose to 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:49.079 have a good mood despite the feelings. Choose joy despite 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:54.760 the discouragement, choose faith despite the doubt. Jeremiah said, blessed 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:58.120 is the person who is steady and immovable. 0:09:58.880 --> 0:09:59.920 That should be our goal. 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:06.679 Consistently in a good mood, consistently happy, consistently friendly, consistently kind. 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:08.880 We're steady and immovable. 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:13.520 The reason some people don't have good relationships is they're 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:14.160 so moody. 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.480 They're always up and down. You never know what you're 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:18.000 gonna get. 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:23.559 They're happy on Monday, upset on Tuesday, discouraged on Wednesday, 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.960 friendly on Thursday, dangerous on Friday. 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:28.960 You better stay out of their way. 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:33.800 That's hard on your children, that's difficult on your spouse, 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.840 your co workers, they have to wonder what you're going 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:40.120 to be like today. You owe it to them, and 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.880 you owe it to yourself to start ruling over those feelings. 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.840 You're in charge. They are not the boss of you. 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:51.199 Quit letting how you feel dictate your mood and start 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.240 choosing to have a good mood, choosing to be kind, 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.520 choosing to be friendly, choosing to be hopeful and sure. 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.439 You may have challenges, but God is on the throne. 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:07.800 He's fighting your battles while he's working. Instead of being discouraged, worried, 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:09.160 in a bad mood. 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:10.840 Why don't you enjoy your life? 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.680 See one of the best testimonies we can have is 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:19.000 we're consistently in a good mood. We're stable, not up 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:23.560 and down, discouraged, defended, sour, but we have a smile, 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:25.720 We're pleasant, we're fun. 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:26.240 To be around. 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.360 You're not always going to feel this way. But maturity 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:32.720 is when you go beyond your feelings. 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:35.400 You don't let them dictate your life. 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.679 You choose joy, You choose a good attitude, You choose 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:43.600 to have a smile. This can save some relationships. This 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.600 can help you get along better with your children, This 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.880 can help you get unstuck in your career. 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:50.680 If you're letting your. 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.600 Feelings rule, it's going to limit how high you can go. 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:58.119 Nobody can do this for you. You can't pray away feelings. 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:02.240 You will feel things, but feelings don't always tell you 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.960 the truth. You have to override how you feel and 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:09.040 decide to have a good attitude, decide. 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:09.600 To be in a good mood. 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:14.640 In the scripture, Habaccock said, though the fig tree does 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.600 not blossom, and there be no fruit on the vine, 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.840 Though the olive crops fail, and there are no cattle 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.560 in the stalls, Yet, will I rejoice in the Lord 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:28.840 and joy in the God of my salvation. He was saying, 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:32.120 when I woke up this morning, I didn't feel joy. 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:37.520 My crops didn't bloom, cattle was gone, felt discouraged, like 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.319 I didn't want to get out of bed. That train 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:45.680 came by, saying depression, discouragement all aboard. He had a ticket, 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.319 He had a good reason, but he understood this principle. 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:54.040 He didn't let his feelings dictate his life. He said, no, thanks, 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:58.480 that train's not going where I'm going. All these negative things, 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.080 crops failed, cattle on business down. 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:02.560 Then one little word. 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:06.520 Yet, he was saying, all that's happened to me is 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.240 not controlling my attitude? 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:10.640 Yet? Will I rejoice yet? 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.920 Will I be joyful knowing that God is fighting my battles? 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:16.439 You may have negative feelings. 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.760 I'm not asking you to deny what you feel. I'm 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:23.560 asking you to add the Yet. I had a bad break, 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.120 Yet will I rejoice? My child is Of course, I 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:30.599 shouldn't be depressed. Yet I'm hopeful knowing God has the 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:31.320 final say. 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:33.920 These people at work aren't treating me right. 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.600 My feelings are telling me to get bitter, to be angry, 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.880 to pay them back. But I know God is my vindicator. 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:42.680 So yet will I rejoice? 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.040 Yet? Will I have a smile? Yet? Will I be 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:45.840 good to people? 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:50.680 Negative feelings may come, but do like tobacco and add 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:51.160 the Yet. 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:53.479 It's okay to have emotions. 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.840 It's okay to feel things, but don't let the emotions 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.880 have you. Don't let the feelings have the last word. 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:01.400 When you add the yet. 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:05.520 Angels go to work when you choose to praise instead 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:06.080 of complain. 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:12.400 Forces of darkness are broken when you're consistent, stable, always. 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:12.800 In a good mood. 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:17.080 You give the enemy a nervous breakdown. He's expecting you 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.680 to fall apart. Get on board with your emotions. Take 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:21.440 that train to. 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:22.760 Depression, to bitterness. 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:27.080 He didn't realize you're a habacca, You're a yet person. 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.920 Medical report wasn't good. I didn't steal my joy yet? 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:34.280 Will I rejoice my business had a set back? I'm 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.960 not bitter yet? Will I be glad? Went through a loss? 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.320 Wasn't easy? But I'm not sour yet? Will I be 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:44.640 hopeful yet? Will I choose a good attitude yet? Will 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:48.520 I live this day in fame? My sister Lisa went 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:50.800 through a very difficult situation. 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.240 After a few months of marriage, her spouse. 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.800 Decided he didn't want to be married anymore, and of 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.800 course she was devastated, so heartbroken. 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.560 For months, she would hardly come out of her room. 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:07.840 She felt depressed, She felt shame, She felt hopeless. Feelings 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:11.960 can be very powerful, like they're overwhelming. Feelings will tell 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:15.200 you there's nothing good in your future. This bad break 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:19.640 has soured your life. You'll always be disappointed. But feelings 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:23.560 don't tell you the truth. Feelings don't determine your destiny. 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:27.280 Your life is in God's hands. He sees what you've 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:30.440 been through, He sees the hurt, the pain. 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:31.640 He said he. 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.920 Has beauty for those ashes. He said he'll restore what 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.760 was stolen. He said he'll pay you back double for 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:41.480 the unfair things. The Psalmist said, a good person may 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:43.080 fall seven times, but. 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:44.600 The Lord will raise them up. 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.480 Sometimes you can't get up on your own, but God 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:52.760 is right there with you, lifting you, strengthening you, healing you, 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:57.240 breathing in your direction. After a few months, a friend 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.320 of my father's called Lison. He was a very well 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.400 known minister. He said, Lisa, I know you're hurting. I 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.800 know it's not fair, but this is not the end 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.560 of your story. The enemy is trying to keep you 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:09.640 from your destiny. 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:11.400 You have to rise up. 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.120 Nobody can do this for you, but you have to 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:17.600 put on a new attitude and start moving forward. He said, 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.960 If you'll do this, God will take those scars and 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:23.600 turn them into stars for his glory. 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:28.320 That day was the turning point for Lisa. She didn't 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:29.200 feel any different. 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:33.880 She still felt discouraged, but she started ruling over those emotions. 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.720 She hadn't smiled in months. She didn't have any reason 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:42.600 to have joy. But Lisa did something unusual. She started smiling. 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:43.320 By faith. 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.560 Every emotion said, be sad, there's no hope, but she 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:51.080 put a smile on her face. When you smiled, it 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.720 not only sends a message to your body that everything's okay, 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.720 but You're sending a message to the enemy that he does. 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:02.040 Not have the final say. Lisa was like Habacca. 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:06.400 Though the relationship didn't work out, though life threw her 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.880 a curve, she said, yet, will I rejoice yet? 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:11.280 Will I believe? Yet? 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.679 Will I move forward? Lisa met my brother in law, Kevin. 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.800 They've been happily married for many years. She has three 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:23.960 beautiful children. But sometimes, like Lisa, you have to smile 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:27.160 by faith. You don't have any reason in the natural. 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:29.159 Don't wait till you feel joy. 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:30.280 Do it by faith. 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:34.080 When you could be complaining, have that song of praise, 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:37.159 when you could shut the door and give up on life, 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.440 dig down deep and say, yet. 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:43.119 Will I rejoice yet? Will I be glad? Don't let 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:47.000 the feelings have the last say. Add the yet. Here's 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:47.440 the key. 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.919 The enemy wouldn't be fighting you if there wasn't something 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:52.200 awesome in your future. 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.600 He knows you are destined to leave your mark, that 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.760 you are a history maker, you are a barrier breaker. 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:02.000 That's why he's tried to take you out. That's why 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:03.359 those unfair things happen. 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:04.920 People turned on you. 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.520 Don't let those feelings keep you from your greatness. 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:10.240 Start smiling by faith. 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.880 Start thanking God that he's working, Sir, up the praise, the. 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.080 Joy, the victory. P. 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:20.560 Forty two says that David was deeply discouraged. He didn't 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.280 think he could go on. He said in verse four, 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:27.480 my heart is breaking. He felt forsaken, like he was 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:31.600 wandering in the darkness. Verse nine says I'm oppressed by 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:35.960 my enemies. Their taunts pierced me like fatal wounds. He 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:39.080 kept describing how bad it was, how he wasn't going 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:42.440 to make it. When you let your feelings rule, you'll 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:46.480 start talking defeeding, how it's not going to work out right. 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:48.960 When you thought David was going to give up, he 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:52.040 said in verse eleven, why am I so discouraged? 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.200 Why am I so sad? I will put my hope 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:57.960 in the Lord. I will praise my God again. 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:03.119 He was saying, I'm done letting these feelings dictate my life. 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:06.880 I'm done talking about how big my enemies are. I'm 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.840 gonna try a new approach. I'm gonna talk about how big. 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:13.000 My God is. I love how David. 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:16.120 Talked to himself. He said self, why are you discouraged? 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.760 He was saying, why are you being ruled by your feelings? 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:23.240 Why are you letting your emotions determine your future? Put 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.760 your hope back in the Lord. We all have these 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:30.679 times when discouragement comes. You have to do like David 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:33.000 and say, I'm not gonna live by how I feel. 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:37.120 I know these feelings are not the facts. Feelings will 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:40.080 tell you that you'll never make it, but God says. 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.960 You will live and not die. Feelings will say nothing 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:44.160 good is in your future. 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:46.919 God says your latter days will be better than your 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:50.560 former days. Feelings will tell you that you'll always struggle. 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:54.679 God says you will live an abundant, bountiful, prosperous life. 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:58.240 Don't let your feelings talk you out of your destiny. 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:01.679 Talk back to your feelings. Feelings, you are not the 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.800 boss of me. You're not gonna control my life. I 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:08.520 may feel discouraged, but I'm not gonna live. Discourage, get 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:12.879 your mind going in a new direction. Faith, hope, expectancy, 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:15.119 and some new feelings will come. 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:19.440 You may feel sad you've been through some difficult things. 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:22.760 At some point you have to start smiling by faith. 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:25.800 You can't keep a depressed attitude. 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:29.600 A discourage, countenance and expect things to get better. 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:31.800 Sometimes we're waiting on God. 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:35.680 But God's waiting on us to override what we feel and. 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:36.879 Believe what he said. 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:41.040 And it's great when feelings assist us, when we. 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.439 Feel hopeful, positive and encouraged. 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:47.480 But you can't depend on those feelings because feelings come 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:47.840 and go. 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:50.040 Feelings can lead you astray. 0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:55.720 I'm naturally a very positive, happy person. From my earliest 0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:57.960 baby pictures, I have a big smile on my face. 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:02.320 But even though that's my personality, there are still mornings 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:04.800 I wake up and think I don't feel like writing 0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:07.800 another message. I don't feel like dealing with this situation. 0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:11.199 I feel the blaws. I do what I'm asking you 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:12.880 to do. Lord, Thank you that. 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:15.120 This is going to be a great day. God. 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:18.280 I'm grateful that I'm alive. Thank you that you chose 0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:21.720 me before I could choose you. Thank you for my family, 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:24.720 thank you for good health, thank you for opportunity. 0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:27.919 Thank you for surrounding me with your favor. Lord. I'm 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:31.960 gonna live this day to the full. Before long, those 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:35.840 blaws are gone. We have to go deeper than the surface. 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.440 If you're letting how you feel determine your day, you're 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:42.480 not gonna have the joy and victory that belongs to you. 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:46.720 Start choosing to be in a good mood, override those 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:49.880 feelings telling you to be sour, and on purpose, have. 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:51.640 A good attitude. 0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:54.480 There was a man that invited his friend to come 0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:57.720 over for dinner after work. They were in the construction 0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:00.840 business together, and that had a really rough day and 0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:04.480 equipment didn't work right, and man pulled up too far 0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:06.960 on the job site and ran over some nails that 0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:07.879 ruined his tire. 0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:11.080 Just one of those days where nothing went right. 0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:15.120 Driving back home, the man sat there in silence, and 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:18.120 his friend could tell he was very frustrated. But when 0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:20.919 this man got to his house, he did something unusual. 0:22:21.480 --> 0:22:22.640 There was a tree in. 0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:25.480 A pot right by his back door, and he walked 0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:27.840 over to it and rubbed both hands on it. Then 0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:30.480 he and the friend went in the house. The most 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:32.840 amazing transformation took place. 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:35.480 The man was happy, went over and. 0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:39.200 Hugged his kids and kissed his wife, had a big smile. 0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:42.080 They all laughed and enjoyed each other. 0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:45.520 His friend was so puzzled he got him aside and said, 0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:48.800 what was it about that tree that made such a difference? 0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:51.680 Your whole mood, your demeanor, your attitude. 0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:55.520 Everything changed the man said, that's what I call my 0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:59.720 trouble tree. I know I can't avoid having difficulties during 0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:05.160 the day, delays inconveniences, but I never bring trouble inside 0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:08.679 the house. I leave all the stress, the worry, the 0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:10.360 frustration on the tree. 0:23:10.600 --> 0:23:13.520 He said. It's funny the next morning when I come out. 0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:16.719 There's never as much trouble as A left the night before. 0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:20.480 We all need a trouble tree, some of you need 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:23.960 two or three. Quit carrying around all the. 0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:28.399 Worry, the stress, the disappointment. Life is going to happen. 0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:31.320 If you're only gonna have a good mood, if things 0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:34.879 go your way, then you're setting yourself up for disappointment. 0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:39.639 That's surface living. You have to go deeper, say, like Paul, 0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:41.480 none of these things move me. 0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:45.680 I'm not gonna let other people delays, what doesn't work 0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:49.320 out to sour my day. Leave that on the trouble tree. 0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:52.560 In other words, turn it over to God. You're not 0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:56.320 supposed to go through life worried, frustrated, discouraged. 0:23:57.080 --> 0:23:59.480 Yes, you may feel upset, but you don't have to 0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:00.000 act on it. 0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:03.120 You may feel offended, so you don't have to take 0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:07.199 the offense. You may feel discouraged, but you can override 0:24:07.200 --> 0:24:08.919 it and encourage yourself. 0:24:09.560 --> 0:24:11.480 You can think some new thoughts. 0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:14.399 You may have been through a disappointment, but like Lisa, 0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:18.040 you can smile by faith. The crops may have failed, 0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:21.040 but like a backup, you can add the Yet it 0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:23.439 was a rough day, yet I will rejoice. 0:24:23.800 --> 0:24:26.280 Had a flat tire, Yet I will stay in peace. 0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:29.960 Boss was rude, Yet I will bite my tongue. Traffic 0:24:30.040 --> 0:24:33.160 is bad, Yet I will have a smile. If we're 0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:34.840 going to live in victory, we. 0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:38.480 Have to be yet people. We have feelings, but we 0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:40.160 don't let the feelings have us. 0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:45.280 We're stable, We're consistent, always in a good mood, always friendly, 0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:50.720 always hopeful. One Kings, chapter nineteen, the prophet Elijah had 0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:53.440 just seen one of the greatest victories of his life. 0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:57.000 He called down fire from heaven and destroyed four hundred 0:24:57.000 --> 0:24:59.960 and fifty false prophets that worship bail. 0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:02.560 It was this huge, dramatic moment. 0:25:03.200 --> 0:25:06.360 You can imagine the excitement and the high he was on. 0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:10.359 Emotions are great when they're working for us, but they 0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:12.119 can change in a minute. 0:25:12.280 --> 0:25:16.000 If you're depending on them to determine your mood, your faith, 0:25:16.200 --> 0:25:21.040 your belief, then you'll live up and down with no stability. Well, 0:25:21.080 --> 0:25:25.120 when the king's wife, Jezebel heard about what Elijah. 0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:26.520 Had done, she was furious. 0:25:26.880 --> 0:25:30.040 She sent word to Elijah saying, if I don't kill 0:25:30.080 --> 0:25:32.720 you by this time tomorrow, I'm going to kill myself. 0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:37.200 Elijah was terrified. He took off, running for his life 0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:38.120 into the desert. 0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:39.080 Here. 0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:42.520 He had just called down fire from heaven, wiped out 0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:46.399 hundreds of men, but now he's afraid of this one woman. 0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:49.560 There's a whole message there, but I'm not going there. 0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:53.960 He was sitting under this tree so discouraged. He said, God, 0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:55.320 I don't even want to live. 0:25:55.960 --> 0:25:56.919 Just take me home. 0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:01.720 Look at how powerful emotions are, how convincing they can be, 0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:05.240 seems obvious to us. Man, Elijah, Goddon took care of 0:26:05.240 --> 0:26:07.600 you back then. He's going to take care of you now. 0:26:08.440 --> 0:26:12.440 But Elijah let his emotions rule. He let his feelings 0:26:12.480 --> 0:26:17.240 dictate his attitude. Like with Elijah, We've all seen God 0:26:17.320 --> 0:26:21.200 do great things in the past. He's blessed us, protected us, 0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:24.879 healed us. He's not gonna stop now. Why are you 0:26:25.000 --> 0:26:28.639 letting your feelings discourage you? Why are you living worried 0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:33.399 over that child? Stressed over your work, guilty over past mistakes. 0:26:33.760 --> 0:26:36.760 God has you in the palm of his hand. You 0:26:36.760 --> 0:26:40.960 can't stop those feelings from coming. They're valid. I'm simply 0:26:41.000 --> 0:26:43.840 saying feelings don't always tell you the truth. 0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:45.760 Feelings are not facts. 0:26:46.359 --> 0:26:49.879 Feelings told Elijah he was finished, when in fact he 0:26:49.960 --> 0:26:53.280 was about to meet Elisha, a young man he would 0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:56.960 mentor who would do twice as many miracles as him. 0:26:57.640 --> 0:27:00.879 When Elijah's feelings were telling him he was done, his 0:27:01.040 --> 0:27:05.119 greatest impact was still in front of him. Don't go 0:27:05.200 --> 0:27:08.880 the next thirty years letting your feelings control you. They're 0:27:08.920 --> 0:27:12.760 gonna come. That conductor is gonna say all aboard. You 0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:15.520 have to say no, thanks. I'm not gonna live bey 0:27:15.560 --> 0:27:18.280 how I feel. I may feel the blaws, but I'm 0:27:18.320 --> 0:27:21.280 gonna choose joy. I may feel fear, but I'm gonna 0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:25.480 choose faith. Start telling your feelings. You're not the boss 0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:29.480 of me. Don't let them dictate your life. Where God 0:27:29.600 --> 0:27:34.200 is taking you is going to take stability, consistency, not 0:27:34.440 --> 0:27:38.480 moody up and down every morning. Start the day off 0:27:38.480 --> 0:27:41.080 in faith. Father, thank you that this is going to 0:27:41.119 --> 0:27:44.800 be a great day. If you'll rule over those emotions 0:27:45.000 --> 0:27:48.480 and choose a good mood. I believe and declare You're 0:27:48.480 --> 0:27:52.280 gonna live happier, You're gonna have better relationships, You're. 0:27:52.160 --> 0:27:53.040 Gonna go further. 0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:57.439 New doors are about to open, Favor is coming, healing 0:27:57.560 --> 0:28:01.960 is coming, breakthroughs are coming.
