God rewards the 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.720 people that seek after Him. That's you. You wouldn't be 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.200 tuned in today, So thanks for tuning in.

I'd 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:15.840 like to get started each week with something kind of funny. 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.200 And of course, you know these are just jokes. They're 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.040 not doctrinally correct, so don't write me a letter. 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:21.640 Just laugh. 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.480 And I heard about this lady. She had a heart 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.280 attack and on the operating table she said, God, is 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.280 this it? And God said, no, You've got forty more years. 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.079 So after recovery, she decided to stay in the hospital 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.960 and have a major face lint, liposuction, tummy tucking, moore 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.280 an extreme makeover. Two months later, when she checked out, 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.000 she was walking down the street and got hit by 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.639 a car and killed. She got to heaven and said, God, 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.000 I thought I had forty more years. God shook his 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:52.919 head and said, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you. All right, 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.120 hold up your Bible, say it like you mean it. 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.760 This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.919 I have what it says I have. I can do 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.799 what it says I can do. Today I will be 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:10.120 taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.799 is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:18.480 the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.280 to talk to you today about developing a habit of happiness. 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:27.440 Many people don't realize how we approach life. Our attitude, 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.840 our demeanor, our joy, our peace. Much of this is 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.760 learned behavior. These are habits that we have formed throughout 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.880 the years. And our mind is just like a computer. 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.600 How we program it is how it's going to function. 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.600 And if we've spent years worrying or getting upset when 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:49.000 things don't go our way, focusing on what's wrong rather 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.400 than what's right, then these negative patterns are going to 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.680 keep us from really enjoying our lives. And many of 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.680 the habits that we have today we learn from our 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.760 parents or from the people that were around us growing up. 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.120 The studies all tell us that negative parents are going 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.520 to raise negative children. And if your parents focused on 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:13.440 what's wrong, maybe they live stressed, out, uptight, discouraged. There's 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.560 a chance you may have developed some of these same 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:19.279 negative mindsets. Now Here, too many people say, well, Joel, 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.520 this is just who I am. I'm just a worrier, 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.920 I'm just uptired, I'm just not that friendly. Now, please understand, 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.400 those are habits that you have developed, and the good 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:33.560 news is they can be changed. You can reprogram your computer, 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.000 you can get rid of a negative mentality, and you 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:40.840 can develop a habit of happiness. And the scripture says 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:46.160 here first Thessalonians five verse sixteen, rejoice in the Lord always. 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:51.360 One translation simply says be happy all the time. Think 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.600 about it. That means, no matter what comes our way, 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.280 we should have a smile on our face. We should 0:04:56.320 --> 0:05:00.120 get up each morning excited about that day. And in 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.000 our negative circumstances, we need to learn to keep a 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:07.320 positive outlook. I know too many people today. They're waiting 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.880 for all their circumstances to get worked out before they 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.560 decide to be happy. Joel, as soon as I get 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.400 a better job, as soon as my child straightens up, 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:20.000 as soon as my health improves. Now, bottom line is, 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:21.920 if you're going to be happy, you need to make 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:25.520 a decision to be happy right now. Happiness does not 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:29.320 depend on our circumstances. It depends on our will. It's 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.520 a choice that we make. And a person that's developed 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.400 this habit of happiness, no matter what comes against them, 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.320 they rise above it, they don't let it still their joy. 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.640 I've seen people go through some of the most negative, 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:45.560 unfortunate situations, and yet at the time you would never 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.800 even know they were having a problem. They had a 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.200 smile on their face. They've got a good report, they're positive, 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:58.520 they're energetic. Yet other people in similar circumstances they're down, depressed, discouraged, worried. 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:02.119 What's the difference. It's all in how they've trained their mind. 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:06.120 One person has developed this habit of happiness. They're hopeful, 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.880 they're trusting, they're believing for the best. The other person 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.800 has trained their mind to see the negative. They're worried, 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.120 they're frustrated. It all starts right here. And if we're 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.800 going to develop this habit of happiness, we've got to 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:22.080 learn to just go with the flow instead of getting frustrated. 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.960 We've got to believe that God's in control of our 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:28.320 lives instead of living stressed out and worried. And we've 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.120 got to be grateful for what we have rather than 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.200 complaining about what we don't have. Really, it boils down 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.920 to you have to stay on the positive side of 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:41.679 life and understand God did not create a single negative person. 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:46.960 He didn't make any of us to live depressed, stressed out, worried, frustrated. 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.680 We were created to be happy. We were created to 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:54.080 be at peace, to be content, to enjoy our lives. 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.080 And we're supposed to be an example of what it 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.960 means to live a life of faith. When people see us, 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.240 they should see so much joy, so much peace, so 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.320 much happiness, that they would want what we have now. 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.400 I want to ask you today to examine your own life. 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:10.960 Are you as happy as you know you should be? 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.440 Down in here? Do you get up each to day 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:18.040 excited about your future? Are you enjoying your family, enjoying 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:22.320 your friends? If not, find out what's stealing your joy, 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.520 what's causing you to get upset? Why are you worrying? 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.080 Identify what it is, take inventory, and then take it 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.520 one step further and start retraining your mind in those 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.760 particular areas. Don't go the next ten years getting upset 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:41.280 over the exact same things. For instance, maybe your husband 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.680 or your wife does something that irritates you, kind of 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.000 gets on your nerves, and normally it just ruins the 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.440 rest of your day. Well, the fact is you cannot 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.840 control that person. They may not ever change. I hope 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:54.960 they do. But don't you go the rest of your 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.360 life allowing that to steal your joy, Change your approach, 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.360 retrain your mind, and next time that happens, instead of 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.520 falling into that trap getting all upset, just say no, 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:09.000 I'm not gonna go there. That's not worth getting frustrated over. 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.600 I'm gonna keep my peace, I'm gonna stay happy anyway. 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.200 What I'm saying today is we do not have to 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:19.600 allow our circumstances to steal our joy. And really, life 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:24.080 is way too short to go around day after day negative, discourage, depressed. 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.680 Now you need to reprogram your computer. You need to 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.520 get rid of these wrong mindsets. And do you know 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.160 many times you could make a small change and it'll 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.079 make a huge difference in your life. Some of you. 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.880 All you need to do is make a minor adjustment 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.880 in your attitude or a minor adjustment and how you 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:46.480 treat people a minor adjustment and how you respond to problems. 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.520 If you'd make this small change and develop these new mindsets, 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.480 you'd see your joy, your happiness go to a whole 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:58.280 new level. Years ago, the Russian scientist named Pavlov did 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.720 an experiment with his dogs. He was studying their habits 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:05.160 and how they responded to certain situations, trying to learn 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.719 more about human nature. And every time he went to 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.760 feed them, he would ring a bell and when the 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:15.319 dogs saw the food, they'd get very excited and start salivating. 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.960 They couldn't wait to eat, and over the next couple 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.120 of weeks, every time he fed them he made sure 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:23.520 he first rang that bell, and over time the dogs 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:27.560 associated the ringing of the bell with the presence of food. Well, 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.360 a couple of weeks later, he decided to try something different. 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:34.079 He started ringing the bell at odd times when he 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.439 wasn't feeding them, wanted to see what they would do. 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:40.360 And every time he rang the bell, even though there 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.319 was no food. Dogs couldn't smell anything, couldn't see anything. 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.120 Didn't matter, the dogs still started salivating. In their minds 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.040 they were about to eat. It happened time and time again. 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:54.400 It became known as a conditioned response, and I believe 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.480 many times that's just what happens to us. We've allowed 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:02.120 ourselves to have all these negative condition responses. For instance, 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.920 we get stuck in traffic and without missing a beat, 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:08.040 our blood pressure shoots sky high. We get all upset 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.840 or we get up in the morning, we don't feel excited, 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.280 so without thinking twice, we just dragged through the day 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.679 in a sour mood. Or maybe at the office somebody 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.040 doesn't speak to us, somebody kind of ignores us. Instead 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.880 of letting it go giving them the benefit of the doubt, 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.520 we get offended, go around in self pity. It's just 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:29.200 like clockwork. We're conditioned to respond in a certain way. 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.559 The only reason it happens is because we've been doing 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:35.680 it year after year after year. We've developed these negative 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.560 mindsets and many times I've seen that's what's stealing our joy. 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:44.640 I'm asking us today to take inventory and let's retrain 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.800 these negative responses. You get up in the morning, you 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.880 may not feel very excited, you may feel depressed, you 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.559 may not feel like going to work. But instead of 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.079 doing what you normally may do and drag through the 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.800 day thinking nothing good ever happens to me, this is 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.199 going to be a lousy day. No break out of 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.959 that rut. That's a conditioned response. That's exactly what the 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.120 enemy wants you to keep doing. And you need to 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.679 throw him a curve. Next time you get out of 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:11.880 bed and you don't feel too hot, no matter what 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.959 those circumstances look like. You need to say with David, 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.600 this is the day the Lord has made. I'm gonna 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.480 enjoy it. I'm gonna be happy today. You need to 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:24.640 just speak that out by faith. Every time you do that, 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.920 you are retraining your mind. You are forming a new habit, 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.599 and it'll get easier and easier. And just as we 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:34.680 can form all these negative habits defeat, discouragement, getting upset, 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:38.280 self pity, we can form a habit of happiness. We 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.600 can develop a habit of even enjoying every single day. 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.440 And I believe that every one of us can come 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.160 up higher in this area. You may be happy, but 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.959 you know what, you can even be happier. Raise the bar, 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.800 train your mind to see the good, be grateful for 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:58.880 what you have, and get rid of any negative conditioned response. Friends, 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:02.600 there's too much sadiness in our world today. Many people 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:06.360 are even sick physically because they are living so stressed, out, 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:11.080 uptight and worried. And I know sometimes depression is caused 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.400 by a chemical imbalance, but I see too many people 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:19.360 dragging around defeated, depressed, all because they've developed the wrong 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:23.200 habit of focusing on the negative. They focus on their problems, 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.440 They focus on what's wrong, They focus on what they 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:29.000 don't have. Listen, you've got to learn to change your focus. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.040 You can have the smallest problem, but if you stay 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.560 focused on it, it'll get bigger and bigger and bigger. 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:38.800 It'll steal your joy, steal your peace, It'll steal your happiness. 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:42.800 Look away from that. Don't magnify your problem, magnify your God. 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.000 You got to get out of doubt and come over 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:48.640 into faith. Get out of that discouragement, come over into joy. 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.679 Make a decision with me today that you're going to 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.480 live your life happy. And when I say happy, I 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.880 don't mean that we're laughing all the time. That's not 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:01.240 really realistic. I'm talking about we're content. In fact, one 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:06.360 definition of joy is calm delight. That means we're at peace, 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.680 We've got a smile on our face, we're excited about 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.839 our future. Yes we have problems, Yes we all have 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.959 obstacles to overcome, but we're not worried about it. We 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.520 know God's in control. We know he's got us in 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.240 the palm of his hand. I love that scripture. If 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.840 God be for us, who dare even be against us? 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.839 But the whole key is we must retrain our mind 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.719 away from these negative, conditioned responses. I mean, I know 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:36.320 people that practically get depressed every Monday morning. They don't 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.000 like going to work. It's called the Monday morning blues. 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.079 And really, when you think about it, there is nothing 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.760 any different about Monday than any other day of the week. 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.880 They've just developed the wrong habit of dreading that particular day. 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.360 I even read where we are seventy percent more likely 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.319 to have a heart attack Monday morning than any other 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.240 time of the week. They did all this research, all 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.000 they could figure out is people are just more uptight, 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.959 more stressed out on Monday than any other time. A 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:09.320 wrong mindset we've developed. I've seen people anytime they get 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:12.120 stuck in traffic, it'll just ruin the rest of their day. 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.600 Yet at the same time, there'll be a car next 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.480 to them and that person is singing a song of praise, 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.080 probably one of you. They've got a smile on their face. 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.600 They're enjoying that day. The only difference is in how 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:27.040 they train their minds. One person has trained their mind 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.680 to relax, to go with the flow, they know God's 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.520 still in control. The other person has trained their mind 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.280 to be upset, to be rigid, to fight against everything 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.480 that doesn't go their way. Even leaving out of here today, 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:40.840 you can say, man, look at all the cars, Look 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.240 at all the traffic. It's gonna take me forever. Or 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.360 you can say, man, look at all the cars. Isn't 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.760 it great? How many people came out to worship God. 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:53.640 It's all in how we choose to see it. If 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.960 you complain about the traffic, the officer are gonna get 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:57.200 your name. We're gonna put you up on the big 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:01.720 screen next week. I love what the Apostle Paul said. 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.760 I have learned how to be content no matter what 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.080 state I'm in. Think about it, he said, I have learned. 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.120 In other words, he was saying, this didn't happen automatically. 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:13.880 I had to train my mind to stay at peace. 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:16.080 I had to train my mind to look on the 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.880 bright side, had to train my mind to focus on 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.920 the good. Same thing we have to do. Happiness is 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.320 not going to fall on us. It's a choice we 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:29.160 have to make, and really being positive doesn't necessarily come naturally. 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.440 We have to make that decision, and I believe it's 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:36.760 a daily choice. Our mind left alone most of the 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:39.840 time will drift toward the negative. I see it happen 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.400 all the time. If we don't stay on the offensive, 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:45.840 little by little, we get more and more sullen. We 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.040 don't smile as much, we're not as much fun to 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.200 be around. We start to find faults, we start to 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:55.960 get critical. No, stay aggressive, don't allow these negative habits 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.240 to form. When you get out of bed in the morning, 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.200 you need to make yourself put us smile on your face. 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.840 You've got to set the tone right at the very 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.480 start of the day. I found out this. If you 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:09.800 don't set the tone, the enemy will set the tone 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:13.360 for you. Hey, you say, Joel, if I smile, if 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.000 I played like I'm in a good mood, I'm just 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:18.440 faking it because really I'm depressed. I got so many problems. Now, 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.240 you've got to realize when you smile, that's an act 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:24.520 of faith. When you smile, you're sending a message to 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.760 your whole body that everything's going to be all right. 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.040 If you will just dig your heels in and no 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:33.640 matter what your circumstances look like, start having this positive 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.480 attitude of faith, then you're so in a seed for 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.600 God to work in your life. I read about this couple. 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.160 They were in college studying to get their degrees, and 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.360 they lived in this apartment complex and next door to 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.640 them was this other young college couple. They became very 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.400 good friends. They had a lot in common. The only 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.920 difference was this second couple seemed to get all the breaks. 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.480 They lived in the corner apartment. It was much bigger 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.160 and nicer than the other ones. They had their apartment 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:04.120 furnished with brand new furniture. This other couple just had 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:07.359 a table and a bed, barely had any furniture. This 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:11.000 one couple they wore nice clothes, the latest fashions, while 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:12.960 the other couple they just wore the same clothes again 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.680 and again. And at one point, both of the men 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.320 were trying to get an assistant teaching job there at 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:21.680 the university. But once again, the second man got it, 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:25.080 and this first young man was just so frustrating, couldn't 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.040 seem to get any breaks. And to top this all off, 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.720 at Christmas time, this second couple they were given a 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:36.160 brand new, fancy sports car from their parents. This first couple, 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.399 they just had an old beat up pickup truck, didn't 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:42.359 have any air conditioning, was hot and humid and He 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:44.760 told how many times they'd be driving to class in 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.560 the morning, sweat and miserable, and they'd look over and 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.040 see their friends in that brand new sports car, just 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.680 like pouring salt on the wound. This one on week 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.160 after week, and this young man got more and more negative, 0:17:56.280 --> 0:18:00.639 more and more depressed. He started complaining about it. Before 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:03.320 long he was at odds with his wife. They started 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:07.640 arguing in fighting. They'd never had problems before. But see, 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:11.880 that's exactly what happens. Negative attitudes will spread to every 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:15.359 area of our lives. They'll start to drag us down. Well, 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:18.240 one day, this young man was in his statistics class 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:21.600 there at the campus, and he'd spent several hours entering 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.760 all this data into his computer. He was working on 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:28.320 this very long, complicated equation. He had to get the 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:30.640 numbers all lined up, got him in the right order 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:32.960 and the right column, and then he hit the computer 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.520 asking it to give him the answer. When he did, 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:38.159 he sat back and folded his arms. He thought it 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.719 would take maybe ten or fifteen minutes for the computer 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.959 to calculate all that information, but much to his surprise, 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:47.040 when he looked up, the computer was already finished. He 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:49.719 couldn't believe it, he thought, Man, it took me hours 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.240 to put this in. The computer gave him the answer 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.879 in less than one tenth of a second. Now about 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:58.040 that time, the college professor came by and noticed that 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:01.440 he looked kind of perplexed. What was wrong. The young 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.800 men said, well, nothing's wrong. I just spent all this 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.360 time putting this in the computer, and I don't really 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:09.159 see how it could calculate it this fast. And the 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.440 professor said, well, that's easy. Let me explain, and he 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:16.520 told how the computer takes every bit of data, takes 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:20.840 every number, and it gives it either a positive electrical 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:24.200 impulse and then stores it away, or it gives it 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:28.560 a negative electrical impulse and then stores it away. Then 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:32.600 the computer simply recalls the information and combines it in 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:34.760 the right order. But the reason it can do it 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:39.639 so quickly is because the information has already been categorized. 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:42.920 Then the professor said something that really got the young 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:46.399 men's attention. He said, the computer works much like the 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:51.400 human brain. Before anything ever goes into our mental computer, 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:56.440 before any site, sound, taste, feel, intuition, before it gets 0:19:56.480 --> 0:20:00.680 stored up here, it's first either stamped positive or it 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:04.919 stamped negative. Then that sensation is permanently stored in our memory. 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:09.360 And that's why sometimes you can't remember a person's name, 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.320 but you can remember how you felt about that person. 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:16.240 The professor went on to say, but unlike a computer, 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:22.119 every person develops a habit of mainly programming their mind 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:26.560 positive or negative. When he said that, a light turned 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:30.040 on in that young man. He realized he was sitting 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:34.280 around making himself miserable. Without even knowing it. He was 0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:38.920 stamping every single thing negative. They've got a bigger apartment negative, 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:40.960 they've got a better car, negative, they get all the 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:44.760 breaks negative. He began to see the reason he wasn't 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:48.320 enjoying his life was because everything he was putting in 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:51.480 was negative. And what you put in is what you're 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:54.800 going to get out. And you may have negative circumstances, 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:57.560 maybe you didn't get good breaks, maybe you didn't get 0:20:57.600 --> 0:21:01.359 the position you were longing for. Instead of just automatically 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:04.720 stamping it negative and storing it away, or your attitude 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:07.400 should be I know God has something better in store 0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:10.280 for me. I know when one door closes, God's going 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:14.440 to open up another door. When you do that, you 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:18.080 just took that negative situation. You turned it around and 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:21.720 stamped it positive, stored it away even in our most 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:25.359 difficult times. Maybe you lost a loved one. I know 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:28.040 that can be painful, but our attitude should be I 0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:30.240 know where they are. They're at a better place, a 0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:32.359 place of joy, a place of peace. When we do that, 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:36.200 we're stamping it positive. Pay more attention to what you're 0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:39.600 feeding yourself. Are you storing away more positive or more 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:43.120 negative some of you? If you don't make these changes, 0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:45.639 you're not going to live a happy life because you 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:50.120 cannot keep putting everything in negative self pity, discouraging poor 0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:54.480 old me, and expect to live a positive, happy life. Well, Joel, 0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:56.560 I got caught by train last week. I missed an 0:21:56.600 --> 0:21:59.440 important meeting. No, just turn it around, father. I thank 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:01.200 you that you me at the right place at the 0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:03.760 right time. I am not gonna get depressed. I believe 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:05.879 you're directed my steps and you're gonna turn it around 0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:08.200 and use it for my good. When you do that, 0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:11.119 you're stamping it positive. That's how we can develop a 0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:14.879 habit of happiness. I read where there's something in our 0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:19.119 brain called a reticular activating system has to do with 0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:22.560 our memory, with our habits, and basically It's a function 0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:27.480 where our mind eliminates the thoughts and the impulses that 0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:31.680 it deems unnecessary. For instance, one time, my sister used 0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:34.879 to live in a town home right beside the railroad tracks, 0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:38.040 and every night, two or three times a night, that 0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:42.159 train would come roaring by, blowing its horn. It literally 0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:45.520 shook that place, and every time it would wake Lisa up. 0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:48.600 But as the weeks went by, she got more and 0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:50.879 more used to that. When she'd hear the train in 0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:53.880 the middle of the night, even subconsciously, she would tell 0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:56.440 her mind, I don't need this, I don't want to 0:22:56.480 --> 0:23:01.040 wake up, this is unnecessary information. The first couple of weeks, 0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:03.920 the mind just continued to send the message, but Lisa 0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:06.640 just wouldn't respond to it. She just kept tuning it out. 0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:11.000 And the way this reticular activating system works is after 0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:13.720 a while, the mind says, you know what, they don't 0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:16.760 need this information. They're not responding, they're not paying attention, 0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:19.280 so we're not even going to send it any longer. 0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:22.239 Several months later, Lisa was able to sleep all through 0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:24.600 the night. I remember one time I stayed at her 0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:26.760 house when that train came by in the middle of 0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:28.600 the night. I bet you. I jumped three feet off 0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:31.119 the bed. It sounded like the world was coming to 0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:33.160 an end. And here I look over there and Lisa 0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:36.359 just sleeping like a baby, sound asleep, got drool running 0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:39.840 down the side of her face. But what's the difference 0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:44.199 between her and me. The fact is that reticular activating 0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:46.560 system in her mind has kicked in and it's not 0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:50.440 sending her those messages any longer. And my point is, 0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:53.040 I believe that we can train our mind in such 0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:56.960 a positive fashion that when these negative, discouraging thoughts come, 0:23:57.000 --> 0:23:59.919 they won't affect us anymore. When that thought of fear come, 0:24:00.400 --> 0:24:03.360 learn to tune it out, like Lisa did. That depressing 0:24:03.440 --> 0:24:05.520 thought is going to be allousy day. Tune it out, 0:24:05.760 --> 0:24:08.520 and if you'll keep it up, before long, your mind's 0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:10.520 going to say, you know what, they don't need this information. 0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:13.680 They're not paying attention. Don't even send the thought of fear. 0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:16.840 Don't even send the thought of worry. Just like that train, 0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:19.359 I believe we can tune it out so long that 0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:22.320 our mind won't even send us any of those negative 0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:25.600 messages anymore. Really, all we should be tuned into are 0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:28.960 thoughts of joy, thoughts of peace, thoughts of faith, thoughts 0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:31.800 of hope, thoughts of victory. That's what happens when we 0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:35.760 stamp everything positive. I see too many people today. Their 0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:38.800 thinking is so out of balance that their mind is 0:24:38.880 --> 0:24:43.040 working totally against them. It's doing exactly opposite of what 0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:46.840 it should do. It's tuning out everything good, and it's 0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:50.280 only tuning in the worry, the fear, the pain of 0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:53.440 the past, the negative. And it's all because that's what 0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:57.880 they're choosing to dwell on. That's what they're grasping hold of. Listen, 0:24:57.920 --> 0:25:00.200 you've got to learn to tune that junk out. You've 0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:03.840 got to retrain your mind. Well, Joel, it's my children. 0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:06.080 They're not doing good. They got off course. I'm so 0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:08.920 worried about it. No, just turn that around. Father, Thank 0:25:09.000 --> 0:25:12.040 you that my children are blessed. They're making good decisions. 0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:14.639 I declare what your word says. As for me and 0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:17.600 my house, we will serve the Lord. Kind of tune 0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:21.400 that junk out. Well, Joel, it's my finances. Guess it's 0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:23.640 so high. Business is slow. I don't see how I'm 0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:26.200 gonna make it. No, tune that out and start tuning in. 0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:29.480 God is supplying all of my needs. He's Jehovah, Jarrah, 0:25:29.520 --> 0:25:33.240 the Lord, my provider. Everything I touched prospers and succeed. 0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:36.920 I am blessed. I cannot because see, we got a 0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:40.880 break free from these negative habits in our mind, discouragement, 0:25:41.040 --> 0:25:44.600 self pity, getting upset, and let's start developing this habit 0:25:44.760 --> 0:25:47.360 of happiness. I was watching the news the other day. 0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:50.320 They were interviewing these people that had come out of 0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:54.080 the hurricane. Person after person came up and told their story, 0:25:54.160 --> 0:25:58.399 and most of them were very negative, very bitter, blaming people, 0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:01.840 blaming the government, blaming God. But about that time, this 0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:04.800 one young lady stepped up to the microphone, and you 0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:07.320 could tell there was something different about her. She had 0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:09.919 a big smile on her face, looked like she had 0:26:09.920 --> 0:26:11.560 a glow about her. I mean, you could see the 0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:14.679 joy and the peace on her life. And the reporter 0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:19.200 asked her, somewhat sarcastically, Okay, tell us your story. What's wrong. 0:26:19.840 --> 0:26:22.600 She said, no, nothing's wrong. I'm not here to complain. 0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:25.479 I'm simply here to thank God that I'm still alive. 0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:27.880 I'm here to thank God that I've got my health. 0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:30.840 I'm here to thank God that my children are okay. 0:26:32.600 --> 0:26:35.159 And you can tell that. The reporter was kind of 0:26:35.240 --> 0:26:37.440 taken back. I mean, this lady was a breath of 0:26:37.520 --> 0:26:40.760 fresh air. And everybody had been complaining about not having 0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:43.840 any power, no electricity, and it was very hot, so 0:26:43.880 --> 0:26:46.760 they didn't have any air conditioning. And the reporter asked her, well, 0:26:47.040 --> 0:26:49.560 what about your power? You have any air conditioning. The 0:26:49.640 --> 0:26:52.520 lady said, no, I not only don't have any power, 0:26:52.880 --> 0:26:55.040 I don't even have my home. It was swept away 0:26:55.160 --> 0:26:57.760 in the flood. But she said, I'll tell you what 0:26:57.920 --> 0:27:01.040 I do have. She reached down and picked up her Bible. 0:27:01.320 --> 0:27:03.640 She said, I have my hope, I have my joy, 0:27:04.160 --> 0:27:07.280 I have my peace. She said, I know God is 0:27:07.359 --> 0:27:12.879 on my side. See that lady chose to take a negative, 0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:18.119 unfortunate situation. Somehow, some way, she turned it around and 0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:21.359 she stamped positive on it. She refused to tune in 0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:24.560 those thoughts of self pity. She refused to allow her 0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:28.439 negative circumstances to steal her joy. She was saying, in effect, 0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:31.720 I know God's still in control of my life. He said, 0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:34.200 a little sparrow would not fall to the ground without 0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:36.639 him seeing it, So I know he's watching over me. 0:27:37.000 --> 0:27:38.920 I know he's gonna take care of me and my kids. 0:27:39.440 --> 0:27:41.840 And it is my prayer that you and I would 0:27:41.840 --> 0:27:45.200 come to that same place where we would be so peaceful, 0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:49.000 so trusting, so at rest, so positive, that our mind 0:27:49.040 --> 0:27:52.400 wouldn't even bother sending the negative messages. Our mind would think, 0:27:52.440 --> 0:27:54.440 you know what, They're not gonna pay attention. It's not 0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:56.360 gonna be any use less. You just save our time 0:27:56.400 --> 0:27:59.840 and energy. Friends, let me challenge you. Train your mind 0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:03.160 to see the good.

But I'm asking you to walk away 0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:16.760 from that and make a decision to develop a habit 0:28:16.840 --> 0:28:20.359 of happiness.
