Thank you so much for downloading 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:37.800 this podcast. I believe God has amazing things in your future. 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:48.280 I hope you enjoy this message. I just want to 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:52.800 remind us about something. See, God has given us his grace. 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.200 He's covered us all of our failures and all of 0:01:56.240 --> 0:02:02.480 our mistakes. He's never gonna He's always gonna love us. 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.680 What a beautiful position to be in, Such a secure 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:10.240 position to be in. In fact, when you think about that, 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:14.160 it makes you want to do better, It makes you 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.679 want to rise higher. In fact, the scripture says it's 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:22.640 the goodness of God that leads us to repentance. You 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.440 could say it like this, it's the goodness of God 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:30.200 that works in us and makes us better, makes us 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.160 into the people He's called us to be. See the 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.920 same goodness, the same love, the same unfailing love. It 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:41.320 not only is for us, but it's for those around us. 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:45.880 It's for our family. It's for our spouses, our children, 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:51.040 our relatives, our neighbor. You see, God blesses us and 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:54.120 gives us this, not to hold on to it for ourselves, 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.720 not to say, oh, this is so great God. No, 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:01.040 he blesses us so that we can spread the blessing, 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.200 so that we can give the favor, so that we 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.880 can be that conduit on this earth. It's called the 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:11.920 hands and feet of Jesus. And I want us to 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.960 believe with all of our heart that we are so 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:19.840 covered and so loved that we are able to do 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:24.080 the same for other people. I want to talk today 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:29.200 about our families, making sure we are covering our families, 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:33.560 making sure we are loving them, considering them, not just 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:37.000 putting them on our to do list, but putting them 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:41.720 on our to love list every day? Are you loving 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:46.160 the gifts that God has giving you? You See, children, 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.120 the Bible says that they're a heritage, They're a gift 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:49.760 from God. 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.960 See, we're not just supposed to work for them. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:58.360 We're supposed to enjoy them. We're supposed to celebrate with them. 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:03.760 Our spouses, they are a gift from God. They are 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:08.120 someone to help us grow and learn and live life together. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.360 Are we putting them on our love list every single day? 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.960 I've been married to Joel for thirty years, and I 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.560 got to tell you this. I still have to remind myself, 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:22.520 is he on my love list? 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:25.440 Because you know, it's fine. 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.200 At first, you can get all excited, you have a 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:32.560 little goosebumps. Everything is so wonderful. But as years go by, 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:36.080 you have to continue to stir up the love and 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:40.479 the excitement. I have to remind myself I cannot quit 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:47.000 being Joel's biggest cheerleader. I can't quit telling him how 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:51.359 proud I am of him, how excited I am that 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.640 I am his wife. I can't quit being my very 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:58.440 best so that I'll reflect the very best on him. 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.440 You see, one of the greatest ways to love each 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.280 other is to live at our very best, to set 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:08.240 the tone for the life we want to live. You see, 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:13.520 you set the tone and the atmosphere for your life. 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:15.360 You're not a thermometer. 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:23.280 A thermometer measures the temperature, but a thermostat sets the temperature. 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.440 It sets the tone. 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:29.320 And God has empowered every one of us through his love, 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:33.760 his grace, his mercy, to set the tone and the 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:37.160 temperature for our life and for the lives of other 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.320 it says in Hebrews ten twenty four. Let us consider 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:46.000 how we may spur one another on towards love. 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:47.080 And good deeds. 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:52.680 You see, if you can spur someone on in God's love, listen, 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.520 those good deeds will follow. If you can strengthen them 0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:01.000 in God's love, then their life will become better. 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:01.760 You see. 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.480 It was the love that raised Jesus from the dead. 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:11.120 Love is powerful. Love covers all. Love is the end 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.680 all be all. When you don't know what to do, 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:19.160 God is saying, love them anyway, just love them anyway, 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:24.440 because it's a powerful force. He first loved us, so 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.880 we can love others. So I think about that scripture, 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.359 and I think to myself, how can I spur my 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:35.320 family on. I have to consider it. That means I 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.560 have to meditate on it. I have to think about it. 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.000 I can't do it the same way all the time. 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:45.000 I don't put it on an autopilot. I consider, I meditate, 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:50.839 I dwell what works best in this situation. You know, 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.960 when I think about how to spur or cheer someone on, 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.640 I think about the attitude. 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:58.000 Of a cheerleader. 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.680 Okay, I was never a cheerleader in high school, although 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.880 I wish I would have. I guess I missed my calling. 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:09.320 But I can be a cheerleader right here to my family. 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:15.320 I can cheer them on. And it's not so much 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:19.920 about raw raw raw. It's about an attitude. You think 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.160 about being at the high school game and there's the 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:26.600 cheerleader on the sidelines. What's the attitude of those cheerleaders? 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:32.360 The attitude is a winning attitude. You see when the 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:36.320 scoreboard is in their favor, Pom palms are up and 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:40.880 they are cheering their team on. When the scoreboard is 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:44.000 down and their team is fumbling the ball and they 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.920 don't seem to be able to get it together, their 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:51.400 tone never changes. They have a winning tone, just a 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:58.600 different chant. That's when you'll hear defense, defense, but their 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:04.400 tone is still pointing the team towards winning. It's saying, hey, 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:09.440 we can score, let's keep our spirits high. I have 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:15.640 never ever seen the scoreboard down on the team that 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:19.600 the cheerleaders were rooting for. Man, the guys are fumbling 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.240 the ball. It doesn't look good. The cheerleader puts your palm, 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.000 palms down, shakes her head, says, I'm out of here. 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:31.440 I've never seen it. That's not the attitude of a cheerleader. 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.360 A cheerleader knows how to keep the spirits up, but 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:39.680 may chant a little different when need be, but always 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:43.439 points their team to the winning goal. 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:46.400 And that's what I want us to think about. 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:54.000 What is your attitude towards those difficult situations when maybe 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:57.280 your husband, your wife, your children, they don't seem to 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:58.400 be able to get it together. 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.520 Man, they keep fumbling the ball all what's going on? 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:03.080 What do you do? 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.760 What do you do when they do score? Do you 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:13.280 take time to celebrate, to shout, to tell them how. 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:14.199 Proud you are of them? 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.600 You see, you got to keep this attitude in the 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.160 good times and in the bad times. 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.160 It's called consistency. 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.360 And if we're gonna set the tone for our family, 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.680 and we're gonna create the life that we want to 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.520 live with our family. We're gonna have to be consistent. 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.960 We're gonna have to keep the tone of a winner. Listen, 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.120 the last thing I want to hear when I'm fumbling 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:41.880 the ball. 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:45.120 Is what you do that for loser. 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.800 I know that I'm fumbling the ball. I know that 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.280 I haven't done well. I'm trying. I need someone to 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:57.480 support me, to prop me up, to direct me towards 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:58.280 the goal. 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.720 I need to know that I can and score. I 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.240 don't need to be told that I'm fumbling the ball. 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:07.600 I need someone there for me. 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.160 It's interesting because the Bible says give to other people 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:11.840 what you want. 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.959 If that's a good way to keep it all into. 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:19.560 Perspective when you're facing difficulties, when you're facing difficult situations 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:21.920 with family members, and I know there are some family 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:23.840 members that seem to never. 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:24.720 Be able to get it right. 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.480 But can I tell you, if you get it wrong, 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:31.160 it's not gonna change a thing. If you decide to 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.960 tell them how bad they are, that's not gonna change 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:37.560 a thing. But if you'll get this tone, this winning 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.439 tone right, you have a better chance of propping them 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:45.120 up and helping them. You see, it's our response, are 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:48.520 we walking in a place of peace? Where do we 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.640 get that peace? We get it from God. You know 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.400 what I said before, we get everything from God. We 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.720 can only live this life in victory by getting it 0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:58.320 from God. 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.400 You see, He's giving it to us so that we 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:03.440 can give it to others. 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.000 I realized when my daughter was about eight years old 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:12.800 how important my response was that it set the tone for. 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:13.520 What would go on. 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.120 Joel I think it was maybe his first book or 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:21.360 second book, and we were as a family traveling all 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.959 over the country. The publisher had set all of these 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.000 books signings up in different dates, and so they had 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.400 chartered us a little plane, and we were going all 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.520 over the country. Sometimes we would be in three different 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.440 states in one day, and so we have always done 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.839 this ministry as a family. So we had I had 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:39.959 my little eight year old girl in my little my 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:43.480 probably about eleven year old son, and so we'd probably 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.240 go into our second state. And it was the middle 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.480 of the day and we were going in this little 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.760 plane and my eight year old daughter, Alexander, was sitting 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:52.559 across from me, and we were just kind of hanging 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.440 chilling a little bit, when all of a sudden, the 0:11:55.480 --> 0:12:02.360 oxygen masks falls from the ceiling. I just panicked, big 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.520 old eyes, huge gasp. 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:07.480 I was like, we're dead. 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.920 Mother, light year old girl didn't know what was going on, 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.199 but the tone setter was panicking. The mom and the 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:21.480 bunch was freaking out, so she immediately began to cry, 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.960 just ball. All of a sudden she saw me and 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.600 it just let go of an emotion of this is 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:34.880 a bad situation. And I realized, Wow, I just set 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:40.480 the tone for her. She was looking at me, and 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:46.000 I set the tone for panic, for fear, for difficulty, 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:50.160 for doubt, for unbelief. If I would have sat there 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.199 and kept my cool and thought, you know what, if 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.559 I scream, it's not gonna keep this plane. 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:55.720 In the air. 0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:00.040 If I freak out, it's not gonna change anything, I 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:04.200 could have just realized that my response made all the 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:05.120 difference in the world. 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:05.800 Now. 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.800 Needless to say, the pilot came up and said, sorry, 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.280 a little bit of a malfunction. As he crammed the 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.760 thing back up in the ceiling, thanked God in heaven. 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:18.160 I was like, oh, but it showed me my response 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.760 is powerful. And I tell that little story to say, 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:26.679 your response is powerful. Whether your child is eight years old, 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:30.800 eighteen years old, or thirty eight years old, your response 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:37.400 you set the tone. It's powerful. When I call my 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:40.960 mom on the phone to this day, she literally has 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.839 the power to set the tone for me, whether I 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:48.880 like it or not. There's a powerful thing because it's 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:53.000 called the anointing of being a parent. It's just the 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.600 way God made it. So I want to remind you 0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:02.160 today and myself to celebrate in the good times and 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.000 are we going to keep that winning spirit in the 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:09.320 difficult times. See, it's all about our tone. It's all 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.440 about the temperature. It's all about the winning spirit. And 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.400 I believe if we will do that and we get 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:18.120 that from God, we're gonna set the tone and have 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:22.600 a great life, not only for ourselves but for our families. Listen, 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:24.400 if you want to pray right now, put your hand 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.400 up in their because I'm gonna pray for our families 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.600 here at Lakewood Church. I believe that we are going 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:31.960 to have strong families, that we're going to continue to 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:35.440 have strong families.

Lord, I thank you God that you will. 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:11.520 Help them and Father grow our families strong, to love 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.480 one another, to be there for one another, to stick together. 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.480 Father, I think you will never give up on them. 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.280 We'll never run out of love for them. 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.320 God, but we will keep that winning tone and that 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:26.760 winning atmosphere, even if the chance sounds a little different. God, 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.160 I think you will continue to point those we love 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:33.560 towards You, towards the high road and towards better days. 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.280 Thank you Father, that you will allow us to live 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.880 balance lives, whole lives, that Father, we would be able 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.000 to draw from you what we need so that we 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:45.920 can give to those around us. Thank you, Father, that 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.120 you are working in the lives of the families here 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:51.560 at Lakewood Church. You are breathing in their direction.
