I believe God has amazing things in your future. 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:49.480 I hope you enjoy this message. I just want to 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:54.000 remind us about something. See, God has given us his grace. 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.400 He's covered us all of our failures and all of 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:58.320 our mistakes. 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:03.680 He's never gonna fail us. He's always gonna love us. 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.920 What a beautiful position to be in, Such a secure 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.440 position to be in. In fact, when you think about that, 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:15.360 it makes you want to do better, It makes you 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:16.760 wanna rise higher. 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:17.840 In fact, the. 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:22.040 Scripture says, it's the goodness of God that leads us 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:23.160 to repentance. 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:24.800 You could say it like this. 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.640 It's the goodness of God that works in us and 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:33.079 makes us better, makes us into the people He's called 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.080 us to be. See the same goodness, the same love, 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:37.520 the same unfailing love. 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.640 It not only is for us, but it's for those 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:42.520 around us. 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:47.040 It's for our family, It's for our spouses, our children, 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:52.200 our relatives, our neighbor. You see, God blesses us and 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.919 gives us this, not to hold on to it for ourselves. 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.160 Not to say, oh, this is so great God. 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:02.240 No, he blesses us so that we can spread the blessing, 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.399 so that we can give the favor, so that we 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:09.080 can be that conduit on this earth. It's called the 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:13.120 hands and feet of Jesus. And I want us to 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.160 believe with all of our heart that we are so 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:21.040 covered and so loved that we are able to do 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:25.280 the same for other people. I want to talk today 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:30.400 about our families, making sure we are covering our families, 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:34.720 making sure we are loving them, considering them, not just 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.200 putting them on our to do list, but putting them 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:42.880 on our to love list every day. Are you loving 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:47.360 the gifts that God has giving you? You see, children, 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.320 the Bible says that They're a heritage, They're a gift 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:50.960 from God. 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.160 See, we're not just supposed to work for them. 0:03:54.360 --> 0:04:00.720 We're supposed to enjoy them. We're supposed to celebrate with them. Spouses, 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:05.480 they are a gift from God. They are someone to 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:10.360 help us grow and learn and live life together. Are 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.520 we putting them on our love list? Every single day? 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.159 I've been married to Joel for thirty years, and I 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.760 got to tell you this. I still have to remind myself, 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:23.719 is he on my love list? 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:26.640 Because you know, it's fine. 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.360 At first, you can get all excited, you have a 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:33.760 little goosebumps. Everything is so wonderful. But as years go by, 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:37.279 you have to continue to stir up the love and 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:41.679 the excitement. I have to remind myself I cannot quit 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.840 being Joel's biggest cheerleader. 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.080 I can't quit telling him. 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:52.360 How proud I am of him, how excited I am 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.320 that I am his wife. I can't quit being my 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:59.560 very best so that I'll reflect the very best on him. 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.640 You see, one of the greatest ways to love each 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.480 other is to live at our very best, to set 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:09.440 the tone for the life we want to live. You see, 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:14.680 you set the tone and the atmosphere for your life. 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:16.560 You're not a thermometer. 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:24.480 A thermometer measures the temperature, but a thermostat sets the temperature. 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:26.640 It sets the tone. 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:30.520 And God has empowered every one of us through his love, 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.960 his grace, his mercy, to set the tone and the 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.360 temperature for our life and for the lives of other 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.520 it says in Hebrews ten twenty four. Let us consider 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:47.200 how we may spur one another on towards love. 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:48.279 And good deeds. 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:53.880 You see, if you can spur someone on in God's love, listen, 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.760 those good deeds will follow. If you can strengthen them 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:02.960 in God's love, then their life will become better. You see, 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.680 it was the love that raised Jesus from the dead. 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:12.320 Love is powerful. Love covers all. Love is the end 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.880 all be all. When you don't know what to do, 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:20.360 God is saying, love them anyway, just love them anyway, 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:25.640 because it's a powerful force. He first loved us, so 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:29.080 we can love others. So I think about that scripture, 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.560 and I think to myself, how can I spur my 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:36.520 family on. I have to consider it. That means I 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:38.760 have to meditate on it, I have to think about it. 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.200 I can't do it the same way all the time. 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:46.200 I don't put it on an autopilot. I consider, I meditate, 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:52.039 I dwell what works best in this situation. You know, 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:56.159 when I think about how to spur or cheer someone on, 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:58.839 I think about the attitude. 0:06:58.279 --> 0:06:59.200 Of a cheerleader. 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.880 Okay, I was never a cheerleader in high school, although 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.080 I wish I would have. I guess I missed my calling. 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:10.520 But I can be a cheerleader right here to my family. 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:16.520 I can share them on. And it's not so much 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:21.120 about raw raw raw. It's about an attitude. You think 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.360 about being at the high school game and there's the 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:27.800 cheerleader on the sidelines. What's the attitude of those cheerleaders? 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:33.520 The attitude is a winning attitude. You see when the 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:37.520 scoreboard is in their favor, Pom palms are up and 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:42.080 they are cheering their team on. When the scoreboard is 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.200 down and their team is fumbling the ball and they 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.119 don't seem to be able to get it together, their 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:52.600 tone never changes. They have a winning tone, just a 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:59.680 different chant. That's when you'll hear defense, defense, But they're 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:05.600 tone is still pointing the team towards winning. It's saying, hey, 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:10.640 we can score, let's keep our spirits high. I have 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:16.840 never ever seen the scoreboard down on the team that 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.800 the cheerleaders were rooting for. Man, the guys are fumbling 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.440 the ball. It doesn't look good. The cheerleader puts your palm, 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.200 palms down, shakes her head, says, I'm out of here. 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:32.640 I've never seen it. That's not the attitude of a cheerleader. 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.560 A cheerleader knows how to keep the spirits up, but 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:40.880 may chant a little different when need be, but always 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:44.640 points their team to the winning goal. 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.600 And that's what I want us to think about. 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:55.200 What is your attitude towards those difficult situations when maybe 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:58.480 your husband, your wife, your children, they don't seem to 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:01.040 be able to get it together. Men, they keep fumbling 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:02.719 the ball. What's going on? 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:04.280 What do you do? 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.960 What do you do when they do score? Do you 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:14.480 take time to celebrate, to shout, to tell them how. 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:15.400 Proud you are of them? 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.760 You see, you got to keep this attitude in the 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.360 good times and in the bad times. 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:23.760 It's called consistency. 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.560 And if we're gonna set the tone for our family 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.880 and we're gonna create the life that we want to 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.720 live with our family, we're gonna have to be consistent. 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:39.160 We're gonna have to keep the tone of a winner. Listen, 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.320 the last thing I want to hear when I'm fumbling 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:43.920 the ball is what you do that for. 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:46.320 Loser. 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:51.000 I know that I'm fumbling the ball. I know that 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:54.480 I haven't done well. I'm trying. I need someone to 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:58.680 support me, to prop me up, to direct me towards 0:09:59.000 --> 0:09:59.480 the goal. 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.200 I need to know that I can score. I don't 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:07.320 need to be told that I'm fumbling the ball. I 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:08.800 need someone there for me. 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.360 It's interesting because the Bible says give to other people 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.480 what you want. That's a good way to keep it 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:19.440 all into perspective when you're facing difficulties, when you're facing 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.360 difficult situations with family members. And I know there are 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.360 some family members that seem to never be able to 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.000 get it right. But can I tell you, if you 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.080 get it wrong, it's not going to change a thing. 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.840 If you decide to tell them how bad they are, 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:35.520 that's not going to change a thing. 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:37.719 But if you'll get. 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.520 This tone, this winning tone, right, you have a better 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:44.160 chance of propping them up and helping them. You see, 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:48.640 it's our response. Are we walking in a place of peace? 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.080 Where do we get that peace? We get it from God. 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:55.240 You know what I said before, we get everything from God. 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.800 We can only live this life in victory by getting 0:10:58.840 --> 0:10:59.520 it from God. 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.400 You see, He's giving it to us so. 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:04.640 That we can give it to others. 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.200 I realized when my daughter was about eight years old 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:14.000 how important my response was that it set the tone for. 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:14.720 What would go on. 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.320 Joel I think it was maybe his first book or 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:22.559 second book, and we were as a family traveling all 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.160 over the country. The publisher had set all of these 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.200 books signings up in different dates, and so they had 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.600 chartered us a little plane, and we were going all 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.720 over the country. Sometimes we would be in three different 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.640 states in one day, and so we have always done 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.040 this ministry as a family. So we had I had 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:42.080 my little eight year old girl intle my probably about 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.199 eleven year old son, and so we'd probably go into 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.640 our second state. And it was the middle of the 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.120 day and we were going in this little plane and 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.680 my eight year old daughter, Alexander, was sitting across from me, 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:54.640 and we were just kind of hanging chilling a little bit, 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:59.319 when all of a sudden, the oxygen masks falls from 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:05.720 the ceiling and I just panicked, big old eyes huge gasp. 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:08.679 I was like, we're dead. 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:11.240 Mother. 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.120 Light year old girl didn't know what was going on, 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:17.400 but the tone setter was panicking. The mom in the 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:23.240 bunch was freaking out, so she immediately began to cry, 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.160 just ball. All of a sudden she saw me and 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.800 it just let go of an emotion of this is 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:31.240 a bad situation. 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:36.800 And I realized, Wow, I just set the. 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:41.840 Tone for her. She was looking at me, and I 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:48.040 set the tone for panic, for fear, for difficulty, for doubt, 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:51.760 for unbelief. If I would have sat there and kept 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:55.000 my cool and thought, you know what, if I scream, 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.240 it's not gonna keep this plane in the air, If 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.400 I freak out, it's not gonna change it. If I 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:05.400 could have just realized that my response made all the 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.439 difference in the world. Now, needless to say, the pilot 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.280 came up and said, sorry, a little bit of a malfunction. 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.760 As he crammed the thing back up in the ceiling, 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:17.960 thanked God in heaven. I was like, oh, but it 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:21.679 showed me my response is powerful. And I tell that 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:26.520 little story to say, your response is powerful. Whether your 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.560 child is eight years old, eighteen years old, or thirty 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:35.000 eight years old, your response, you set the tone. 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:36.120 It's powerful. 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:41.000 When I call my mom on the phone to this day, 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.440 she literally has the power to set the tone for me, 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:49.520 whether I like it or not. There's a powerful thing 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:53.760 because it's called the anointing of being a parent. It's 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.920 just the way God made it. So I want to 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:02.000 remind you today and myself, are we going to celebrate 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.040 in the good times and are we going to keep 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:08.160 that winning spirit in the difficult times. See, it's all 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:12.319 about our tone. It's all about the temperature. It's all 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.760 about the winning spirit. And I believe if we will 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:18.120 do that and we get that from God, we're gonna 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.640 set the tone and have a great life, not only 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:24.280 for ourselves but for our families. Listen, if you want 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.040 to pray right now, put your hand up in their 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:27.840 because I'm gonna pray for our families here. 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:28.560 At Lakewood Church. 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:30.880 I believe that we are. 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.040 Going to have strong families. That we're going to continue 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:34.200 to have strong families. 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.640 Father, I thank you for every hand that's raised, all 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:41.440 those who are listening online.

Father, that you send 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.760 labors across their path, that we could live an example 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.920 as a light to them. Father Lord, I thank you 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.000 God that you will help them and Father grow our 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:14.200 families strong, to love one another, to be there for 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:17.520 one another, to stick together. Father, I think you will 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.720 never give up on them. We'll never run out of 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.400 love for them. God, but we will keep that winning 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:26.520 tone and that winning atmosphere, even if the chance sounds 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.200 a little different. God, I think you will continue to 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:33.160 point those we love towards You, towards the high road 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.520 and towards better days. Thank you Father, that you will 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:40.120 allow us to live balance lives, whole lives, that Father, 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.880 we would be able to draw from you what we 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:46.040 need so that we can give to those around us. 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.520 Thank you Father, that you are working in the lives 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:49.440 of the families here. 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:50.280 At Lakewood Church. 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:53.640 You are breathing in their direction.
