I like to start with something funny. 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.320 And I heard about this man and his wife and 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.320 they argued for several months about who was to make 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.000 the coffee in the morning. The man thought it was 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.800 definitely the wife's job, but she just didn't agree, and 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.720 they had several heated debates on this, and finally one 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.040 day the wife came up and said, honey, I found 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.000 in the Bible where it clearly says the man is 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.760 to make the coffee. He said, what are you talking about. 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:47.720 The Bible doesn't say anything about that. She said, sure doesn't. 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.440 She called him over and she opened it up and 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:55.280 pointed to the Book of Hebrews. Hold up your Bible. 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.400 Say it like you mean it. Ready, this is my Bible. 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.320 I am what it says. I I am. I have 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.840 what it says I have. I can do what it 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.760 says I can do. Today I will be taught the 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:11.080 word of God. I'll boldly confess my mind is alert, 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.640 my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:20.440 I am about to receive the incorruptible, indestructible, ever living 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:25.640 seed of the Word of God. I'll never be the same, never, never, never, 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:30.440 I'll never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.280 We've been talking about the power of our thoughts and 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.480 how important it is that we keep them going in 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:41.120 a positive direction. If we give in to fear and 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.480 worry and we go around in a negative frame of mind, 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.600 then our life is going to go in a negative direction. 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:52.640 Fear activates the enemy's power, but faith activates God's power. 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.200 And when we get up in the morning, we should 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.320 expect good things. We should expect this to be a 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.560 productive day. You'd expect to be at the right place 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.600 at the right time. We should expect our families to 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:08.680 prosper and succeed. But some of you are not expecting enough. 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.600 You just expect to barely get by. You expect to 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.400 get the short end of the stick. You're not expecting 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:18.280 to excel in your family. In your careers, You're gonna 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.719 have to raise your level of expectancy. If you're in 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.120 cells and you go to a big presentation this week, 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.040 don't go in there afraid. Don't go in there with 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:31.200 no confidence, not expecting to get it. No, get out 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.040 of fear and get over into faith. Expect to have 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.719 God's favor, Expect those people to like you. Expect to 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:41.120 get that new contract. See, we can choose to live 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.920 each day in faith expecting good things, or we can 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.760 choose to live in fear and just go around expecting 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.679 the worst. And unfortunately, that's what a lot of people 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.839 do today. They go to a job interview not really 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:57.080 expecting to get it. They drop their child off at 0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:00.640 school expecting him to get in trouble. Joel, he just 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.919 can't sit still. I'm sure I'll get a call in 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.920 a couple of hours. No, you've already lost the battle. 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:09.640 Quit expecting the worst and start expecting the best. You're 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:13.240 going to get exactly what you're expecting. That's what Jesus 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:17.320 said here in Matthew nine twenty nine. According to your faith, 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:22.120 be it done unto you. One translation says, have what 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:26.880 your faith expects. We have to understand God meets us 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.400 at the level of our expectations. I don't think we 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.640 realize how often we fall into that old rut of 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.920 just expecting the worst. I remember when our son Jonathan 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.800 was just a baby, maybe a year old. We were 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.279 in a restaurant eating one night and I was holding 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.599 him on my shoulder and this couple came up we 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.720 didn't know, and they started to talk and actually they 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:52.080 were complimenting us on how good he was being, how 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:56.159 quiet he was. But just before the man left, he said, 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.200 you just wait until he gets to be about two, 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.120 he'll turn into another person. He's good now, but it's 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.560 not gonna last long. Those Terrible twos are coming. And man, 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.120 that just didn't hit me right. And when they left, 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.799 I told Victoria, I do not receive what he said. 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.200 I am not expecting Jonathan to go through the Terrible twos. 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.920 I'm not gonna give that junk any place in my mind. 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:19.440 And we just sort of turned it around. We said, 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.520 for us, we're gonna believe it's not gonna be the 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.320 Terrible twos, but it's gonna be the terrific twos. And 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.599 do you know, Jonathan, he was two years old, didn't 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.200 give us any problem, three four or five. He's ten 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.320 years old, and we're not expecting him to give us problems. 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.760 We're expecting him to excel. We're expecting him to make 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:41.159 good choices. We're expecting him to do great things in life. 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.080 Your children as well, are gonna rise to the level 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.360 of your own expectations. If you expect them to get 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.320 in trouble and you expect them to give you a 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.920 hard time, you're gonna get exactly what you're expecting. You're 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.400 so in a seed for it by that wrong negative thinking. 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.159 Now you need to expect your children to be the 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.680 head and not the tell. You need to expect them 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.320 to be leaders wherever they go. You need to expect 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.640 them to choose good friends according to your faith. It's 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.120 gonna be done unto you. I don't know about you, 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.760 but I'm putting my faith out there for my children. 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.160 I'm already believing they're gonna marry the exact right person, 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.080 the one God ordained before the foundation of the world. 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.600 I'm believing my children gonna work with us in the 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.640 ministry and help us to carry out what my parents started. 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:29.040 I'm believing each of my children are gonna live long, 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:33.920 healthy lives, prosperous lives. Let's expect good things. Our children 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.800 need to know that we believe in them. They've already 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.080 got enough negative things trying to pull them down. Let's 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.920 do our part and encourage them. Let's build them up. 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.400 Let's speak words of faith and victory over their lives. 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:48.880 And I know as we do that we will see 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:52.240 them rise to those new levels. And some of you today, 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.400 you've gotten so focused on the negative and all your 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.920 child's doing wrong. You've just about convinced yourself that they're 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.320 not gonna mount to much. They're just gonna flounder through life. 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.680 You've got to change your attitude. God is going to 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:08.200 hold you responsible. They may not be perfect, but you 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.760 need to start sowing some new seeds of hope and 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.160 encouragement into their lives. Your children need to know that 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.200 you think they're the greatest, that you think there's nothing 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:20.040 they can't do. It may not look like it today, 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.280 but you've got to do it by faith. You've got 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.320 to call the things that are not as if they 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.720 already were. Or what are you expecting out of your children? 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.840 Let me challenge you set the bar high. They'll do 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.280 great things if you'll just believe in them and really 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.760 get behind them. I know sometimes when you have small 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.680 children like we do, people say, well, just wait until 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.600 they get to be teenagers, Just wait until they're able 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.959 to drive and if you're not careful, you'll almost start 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:49.880 expecting them to get off course, start expecting them to 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:53.160 kind of be rebellious. Had A lady asked me just 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.080 last week. She said, Joey, you got to pray for 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:58.760 my teenager. I'm so worried about him. I'm so afraid 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.040 he's going to get off into trouble, start running with 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:04.400 the wrong craft. I said, well, I'll certainly pray, but 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:06.600 is he giving you problems now? I mean it's like 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.280 something was terribly wrong. She said, oh, no, he's a 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.439 great kid. I'm just afraid something bad is gonna happen. 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.400 And I told her what I'm telling you, quit giving 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:19.400 in to that fear. Quit expecting the worst. That opens 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:23.720 the door to trouble. Fear works just like faith. When 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:27.240 you go around in faith expecting good things, you're gonna 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.959 see God's blessings in favor. But if you get over 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.920 into fear and go around expecting the worst, you're gonna 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:36.400 see negative things begin to happen. I remember when I 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.720 was in college. One night I was studying for a 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.760 test with a friend of mine and we were going 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:44.480 over this one particular area. I'll never forget what he said. 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.040 He said, Joel, I know if they asked me this 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.480 on the test, I'm not gonna get it right. I've 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.520 never been able to get this down, and I know 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.240 I just will not remember how to do it. See, 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.319 he was already planning to miss it. He was already 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:01.720 expecting to fail, expecting the worst. Really, the right attitude 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.200 should have been if they ask me this, I know 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.160 them will get it right. I've studied, I've prepared, and 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.360 I believe God will bring it back to my memory. 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.679 You've got to learn to just turn it around. Train 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.800 yourself to expect good things. Learn to stay in faith, 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.600 not in fear. The scripture tells us in tewod Timothy 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.120 one point seven that God has not given us a 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.880 spirit of fear, but of power and of love, and 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.440 of a sound mind. The amplified version tells us what 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:34.239 a sound mind is. It says it's a well balanced 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:38.440 and disciplined mind. In other words, we're not going to 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.280 have any power if we don't first know how to 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.280 discipline our mind. I'm not going to live in victory 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.880 if we don't know how to control our thought life 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.920 and every day, we're going to have all kinds of 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:54.960 negative discouraging thoughts bombarding our minds. And we cannot stop 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.280 those thoughts from coming, but we can choose whether or 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.600 not we're going to dwell on them. I heard somebody say, 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.320 you can't keep the birds from flying over your head, 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.360 but you can keep them from building a nest in 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.520 your hair. And in the same way, just because that 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.040 old thought comes that hey, you're gonna get cancer just 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:15.120 like your mother, or that company's gonna lay you off, 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.600 you know it's coming, or your marriage that's never gonna work. Now, 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:20.720 you don't have to dwell on that junk. Get it 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:26.120 out of your mind, Stay in faith, stay hopeful, expect 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:30.360 good things. See, the only doorway the enemy has into 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.480 your life is through your thinking. The battle is taking 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.320 place right here. And if you can just stand guard 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.880 over that doorway and learn to think good thoughts and 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.679 expect good things, then you can live a victorious life. 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.040 And I know we have a lot of families here 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.319 and families that watch that have other family members in 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:53.160 the military. There are all these soldiers overseas, and you know, 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.840 many of them are in very dangerous places, and we 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.720 pray every day for their safe return. We pray for 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:02.199 the families back at home as well. But if that's you, 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:05.400 you need to especially be on guard. So easy to 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.240 go around in fear. Man, I'm afraid something's gonna happen 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:11.160 to my son, my daughter. I'm afraid they're not gonna 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.120 come home. I'm afraid they're gonna be injured. Now, don't 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.760 fall into that trap. Get out of fear and get 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:20.680 over into faith. When you're tempted to worry and you're 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.280 tempted to get all negative, don't learn to just switch 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.120 it around. Say Father, thank you that your angels have 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.880 charge over my son, my daughter. I know you've got 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:32.040 him in the palm of your hand. So I refuse 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.520 to worry. I refuse to give into fear. I know 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:38.320 you're in control. See, don't fear the worst, believe the best. 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.120 Expect to see him, Expect the angels to protect him, 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.280 Expect him to come home healthy and hold. That's what 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:48.840 activates God's power. You got to stand guard over the 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:52.559 doorway of your mind, and nobody can do this for you. 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.160 You've got to learn how to cast down those negative, 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:59.600 discouraging thoughts. Says in Second Corinthians ten, verse four, that 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:04.160 we need to get rid of every evil imagination. And 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.320 do you know, if you dwell on a negative thought 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:10.559 long enough, you'll start seeing all kinds of negative scenarios 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.920 in your mind. Just like a movie screen, Your mind 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:18.280 will play out every worst possible situation. You'll see that 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:22.000 family member not coming home. You'll see your marriage falling apart, 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:26.439 you'll see your financial situation going downhill. No, don't dwell 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.520 on that junk, and especially don't go around talking about it. 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.840 We give life to what we believe by what we say. 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.960 If you go around saying I am strong in the 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.160 Lord and I know God has protecting my children and 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.080 my marriage is getting better and better. When you do that, 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.800 you're giving life to your faith. But if you go 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.240 around saying, man, I'm so worried about my child, and 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.680 I saw on the news last week all these people 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.560 getting hurt and I just don't know. No, don't give 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:56.480 life to your fears by speaking it out. Something happens 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.439 when we verbalize a thought. It takes on a new meaning. 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.360 Those roots go down deeper and deeper. And if you 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.400 keep talking about it and keep thinking about it, you're 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.360 gonna give that more and more life. That's why it's 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.640 so important that you guard your mind and take control 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:14.520 of your thought life. For instance, you can be going 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:16.679 through the day all happy and fine, and all of 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.240 a sudden you got a pain in your sight. It's 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.320 no big deal, you just had too much for lunch. 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:23.480 But the first thought that comes to your mind, the 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.560 enemy will tell you, Hey, that's cancer. Your mom had it, 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.680 your grandmother had it. Now it's your turn. And if 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.120 you dwell on that light long enough you know this 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.680 is true. You'll begin to see yourself in the hospital. 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.040 You'll see yourself not raising your children in your mind. 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:40.760 You can see yourself at the funeral. Now, don't even 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.640 let your mind go there. The Bible tells us to 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:47.040 meditate on God's word. It says to think on things 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.160 that are hopeful, things that are of a good report, 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:52.640 things that are gonna build you up and not tear 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:55.200 you down. If you feel that pain, I'm not saying 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.040 to deny it, but you need to dwell on the 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.960 fact that no weapon formed against me is gonna prosper 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.600 with long life. I know God's gonna satisfy me. Or 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.120 maybe you're here today and you've gone through a lot 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.680 of disappointments and you're just about convinced that nothing good's 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.400 ever gonna happen to you. No, don't dwell on that. 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:14.600 You need to say. Father, you said if I would 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:18.560 obey you, your blessings would chase me down and overtake me. 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:20.720 So I thank you that you do have good things 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.840 in store. I'm gonna say with the psalmist David, that 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.600 goodness and mercy are gonna follow me all the days 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:29.480 of my life. See learned to just turn it around, 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:33.040 stay in faith, not in fear. Some of you, this 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.200 is the whole thing that's keeping you down. You're always 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:40.920 expecting the worst, expecting failure, expecting defeed, expecting your children 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.960 to get off course. The problem is when you do that, 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:47.120 you've got the wrong things chasing you down. If you'll 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:51.840 start expecting God's blessings in favor, expecting your children to excel, 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.160 expecting to live a long, healthy life. When you do that, 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.640 you can't outrun the good things of God. His blessings 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.720 should be chasing us all this other junk. And this 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.000 is just what happened to Job. You remember all the 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:07.520 trouble he went through. Well, Job said, the thing I 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:11.960 greatly feared came upon me. Same principle I'm talking about 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.880 when we live in fear, when we go around all 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.360 negative and discouraged, that allows that to come to pass. 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.440 And really we're using our faith, we're just using it 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.640 in reverse. How many people have told me, Joe, I'm 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:28.280 afraid my business is going to drive. I'm afraid I'll 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.440 never get married. I'm afraid I'm gonna get that same 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.600 sickness my mom had. After all, it's been in our 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:38.400 family line for three generations. You need to recognize what 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.080 you're doing. You're opening up the door to trouble. You're 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.560 activating the wrong power. And it doesn't really matter how 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:46.800 long that sickness has been in your family line. You 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:48.320 need to put your foot down it and say this 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.720 is a new day. You know, we may have suffered 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.640 from this in the past, but that curse has been broken. 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:56.640 And sometimes you got to have that attitude. You know, 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.400 grandmother may have died from cancer and great grandmother may 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:01.000 have had it. Mother I may have suffered with it, 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.040 but as for me and my house, We're gonna live 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.800 healthy lives. I'm drawing that line in the sand. I'm 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.640 believing the tide of the battle is turning. You gotta 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:12.320 put your foot down. I know in my family. On 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.760 my father's side, we come from a long line of 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:18.639 heart disease. My grandfather died early from heart disease, and 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:22.159 many of Daddy's brothers and other relatives died early deaths 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.720 as well. And I could easily go around thinking, well, 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:27.720 you know, everybody in my family has heart disease, everybody 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.160 has high blood pressure. I guess it's just a matter 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:33.080 of time until I get it. But no, I've made 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:35.560 up my mind. I'm gonna live a healthy life. I've 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:37.960 made up my mind. I'm gonna pass down good things. 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:41.840 I'm gonna pass down victory. I'm gonna pass down long life. 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.240 I'm believing that heart disease is gonna stop with my generation. 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:47.959 A lot of times, you know, you hear people say, well, 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.960 i'm afraid to get old. I'm afraid i'm gonna lose 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.760 my vision just like my father did. I'm afraid i'm 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.359 gonna get all bent over like my mother was. Now, 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:59.320 why don't you quit fearing the worst. I'm believing every 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:03.080 day getting stronger. I believe every day my vision is 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:07.720 getting better, every day my immune system is increasing. I'm 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:09.920 believing the older I get, the better looking. I'm gonna 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:14.560 get you laugh, but you better believe it for yourself. 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.280 You know, God said he would renew our youth like 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:21.400 the egles. We've got to get rid of these thoughts 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:23.600 of fear. You hear people say, well, I'm afraid I'm 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:26.199 gonna lose my biggest client. I saw him talking with 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:29.720 my competitor, Joel. I'm afraid I'm not gonna have any 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:33.320 new friends at this company. No, get out of the niggat. 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.720 If you're gonna get just what you're believing for, and 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:38.480 if you'll act in faith, you can receive God's blessings. 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:40.879 But when you act in fear, you're gonna have all 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:44.000 kinds of defeat and misery. The things we fear can 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:47.679 come upon us. I read an amazing story about the 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.680 power of our thoughts. This man was named Nick, and 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:53.520 he was a big, tough, strong man, and he'd worked 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.280 in the railroad yards for many years. He was one 0:18:56.280 --> 0:19:00.000 of the company's best employees, always on time, very reliable, 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:02.879 got along great with the other men. But Nick had 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:06.840 one major problem. He was very negative. He was known 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:10.760 around the railroad yards as the chronic pessimist, always fearing 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:14.359 the worst, always worrying about something. Well, one day, the 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:16.679 crews were told that they could leave an hour early 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.679 to go celebrate the birthday of one of the foreman's 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:23.480 and so all these other men left. But somehow Nick 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:27.760 got accidentally locked in one of the refrigerated box cars, 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:31.200 and it was empty and not connected to any other cars. 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:34.040 They just brought it into the yard for repairs. And 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:37.639 when Nick, being the chronic pessimist and always fearing the worst, 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.640 when he really realized he was trapped inside there, I mean, 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:43.760 he just totally panicked. Now, there was plenty of air there, 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.439 but he beat on those doors so hard that his 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:49.600 hands and fist were all blooded. He screamed to the 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:52.199 top of his lungs hour after hour, but it was 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:54.920 just too loud. Nobody could hear him. Finally, his voice 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:58.560 gave out, and Nick was very aware that he was 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:02.639 in a refrigeration car, and he guessed that the temperature 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:06.080 was well below freezing, maybe even five or ten degrees, 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:09.240 and he began to fear the worst. He thought, what's 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:12.040 going to happen if nobody comes. I can't stay in 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:14.159 here all night, I'll freeze to death. What am I 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:17.200 gonna do? The more he thought about it, the colder 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:20.520 he got he finally found a piece of cardboard over 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:24.399 in the corner, and shivering almost uncontrollably, he scribbled a note. 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:29.399 It said, so cold, body numb. If I go to sleep, 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:33.359 these words may be my last. Sure enough, the next morning, 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:35.520 when the crews came in, they opened up the big 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.439 steel doors and Nick's body was curled up over in 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:41.840 the corner. When they did the autopsy, they could find 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:44.560 no other cause for death. They had to assume that 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:48.399 he did freeze to death. The interesting part about this 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:52.080 story is that the refrigeration unit in the car Nick 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:55.359 was in that night was not even on. The temperature 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.800 where he froze to death was sixty one degrees. Nick 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:01.840 froze to death, believe because he was convinced in his 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:04.639 own thinking he was in a freezing car. He was 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:07.200 convinced in his own thinking he didn't have a chance. 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:11.919 He expected to freeze. He expected the worst. In other words, 0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:14.680 he lost the battle right here. The thing he feared 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:17.959 came upon him. And it's really the same with us today. 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:22.879 Our thoughts are so powerful. What we expect is very powerful. 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:25.800 I know a lot of people that are just like Nick. 0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:30.280 They go around expecting the worst, expecting defeat. No, you 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:33.320 got to change what you're expecting. If you're in tough 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:36.600 times today, don't expect to stay there, Expect God to 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:40.479 bring you out. If business is slow, don't expect it 0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:43.520 to go bankrupt. Expect God to bring you new customers. 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:47.360 You're struggling in your marriage, don't just give up. Say well, 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:49.520 I knew this was gonna be this way. I knew 0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:52.240 we wouldn't last. Now when you do that, you're doing 0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:55.119 just like Nick. Your own thoughts are going to be 0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:57.000 what's going to keep you down. You got to quit 0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:59.879 expecting to be overcome and start expecting to be the 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:03.560 overcome her. If you dwell on those thoughts of fear 0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:06.800 long enough, just like Nick, they're going to create a 0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:10.440 stronghold in your thinking. A while back, I ran into 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:14.160 this young couple after the service, and they were so discouraged. 0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:17.320 They'd been trying for a long time to have a baby, 0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:20.160 their first one, but for some reason, this young lady 0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:23.240 just could not conceive, and they'd been to different doctors. 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:25.920 They didn't see anything wrong with her, they couldn't understand 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:28.320 why she couldn't get pregnant. And as she was telling 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:31.760 me this story, she seemed to get more and more frustrated. 0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:34.399 She said, Joe, you know the funny thing is, my 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:38.119 mother had a terrible time getting pregnant, and my grandmother 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:41.840 had a terrible time conceiving. And she said, since I 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:45.280 was a little girl, I've always been afraid that I 0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:47.360 wasn't going to be able to have a baby. I've 0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:50.080 always been afraid that the same thing was going to 0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:53.040 happen to me. And I told her, I think that's 0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:55.879 your problem right there. You've got to change what you're thinking. 0:22:56.720 --> 0:23:00.040 That fear had created a stronghold in her mind. He 0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:02.639 didn't think she could get pregnant, she didn't think she 0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:05.840 could conceive, and just like job, the thing she feared 0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:08.520 came upon her. And I told her, listen, from this 0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:12.399 day forward, you got to start seeing yourself carrying that child. 0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:14.800 You got to look out through your eyes of faith 0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:18.960 and see yourself having a little, healthy baby. I challenged 0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:22.119 her to begin to meditate all day long on what 0:23:22.160 --> 0:23:23.960 God says about that. I said, you dwell on the 0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:26.960 fact that God says the fruit of your womb is blessed. 0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:30.480 No good thing will God withhold when you walk up rightly. 0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:33.160 That children are a gift and a blessing from God. 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:35.920 I encouraged her just all through the day. You play 0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:38.600 those thoughts over and over, get your mind going in 0:23:38.600 --> 0:23:41.480 the right direction, and then just start thinking. God said, 0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:44.000 you go around saying Father, thank you that I can conceive, 0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:46.640 thank you that the fruit of my womb is blessed. 0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:48.919 Thank you that you are bringing my dreams to pass. 0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:51.800 She began to do that day after day, week after week, 0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:54.879 and I ran into him about six months later, and 0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:57.600 she and her husband happy as can be. She was 0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:00.840 pregnant with a little baby boy. But can create a 0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:03.840 barrier in our minds. Our thoughts can keep us from 0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:06.359 God's best. And what I'm saying today is, if you're 0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:09.120 gonna live a life of victory, you've got to have 0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:12.680 a disciplined mind. You cannot go around dwelling on thoughts 0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:15.280 of fear and worry. You've got to learn how to 0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:20.119 immediately cast down those wrong imaginations. Some of you today, 0:24:20.320 --> 0:24:22.800 your business is slow, but you can already see it 0:24:22.880 --> 0:24:26.040 going under. You can already see the doors closing. Now 0:24:26.119 --> 0:24:28.639 get rid of that and see God turning it around. 0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:31.360 Or maybe, as I said, you're struggling in your marriage, 0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:34.360 and you can already see yourself moving out. You can 0:24:34.359 --> 0:24:38.240 already see that divorce coming. But no, quit allowing those 0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:42.240 negative imaginations to play over and over again. The more 0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:45.159 you see that, the more you're gonna believe it, and 0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:47.640 that's what allows it to come to pass. You've got 0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:51.080 to stand guard over the doorway of your mind. Let 0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:53.760 me ask you today, what's playing on the picture screen 0:24:53.800 --> 0:24:57.960 of your mind. Do you see yourself rising higher, healthy, happy, 0:24:58.280 --> 0:25:01.680 your family succeeding. Or do you see yourself barely getting by, 0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:05.359 always having problems, always fighting this, always having trouble with 0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:08.719 your kids. No, keep your thoughts going in the right direction. 0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:12.600 Quit imagining the worst, Quit focusing on the negative. You 0:25:12.680 --> 0:25:16.720 got to stay in faith, not in fear. Faith activates God. 0:25:17.040 --> 0:25:20.040 Fear activates the enemy. Several years ago, we knew this 0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:22.800 couple and they had two or three children at the time, 0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:26.000 and they were very fine people. But one day this 0:25:26.119 --> 0:25:29.679 husband started making some rather odd comments. He said, you know, 0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:32.240 I don't know what i'd ever do if something were 0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:34.679 to happen to my wife. I just don't know how 0:25:34.720 --> 0:25:37.639 I could ever raise these children by myself. It was 0:25:37.760 --> 0:25:40.920 very strange. You could tell he was allowing his mind 0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:43.640 to go down the wrong path, and over the next 0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:47.040 several years, he would bring this up time and time again. Well, 0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:49.639 one day a group of his friends got together and 0:25:49.680 --> 0:25:51.960 they confronted him about it. They really got on to him. 0:25:52.119 --> 0:25:54.880 They said, listen, you got to quit talking about your 0:25:54.920 --> 0:25:58.800 future like that. Quit expecting the worst. That's not healthy. 0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:01.719 But he was so tornted by this fear of losing 0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:04.960 his wife. And here she was perfectly healthy, she'd never 0:26:05.040 --> 0:26:08.439 even been sick before, no reason to even allow his 0:26:08.520 --> 0:26:11.200 mind to go there. Do you know what his problem was? 0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:14.760 He was undisciplined in his thought life, and that fear 0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:17.560 grew and grew. He kept thinking about it, and it 0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:21.080 became a stronghold. Before long, he started seeing it all 0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:24.080 take place in his imagination. Do you know One day 0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:27.399 he called and so sad, he said, you'll never believe 0:26:27.560 --> 0:26:30.840 what's just happened. My wife has been diagnosed with a 0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:34.200 very rare form of cancer. And it was not several 0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:37.440 months later until she had passed away. And I thought, 0:26:37.480 --> 0:26:40.840 what a tragedy the thing he feared came upon him. 0:26:41.480 --> 0:26:43.720 And I don't know that I understand the theology of 0:26:43.760 --> 0:26:45.880 it all, but I do know this, when we give 0:26:45.920 --> 0:26:48.760 into fear and we imagine it in our mind, and 0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:51.320 we go around talking about it all the time. We 0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:53.639 are opening up the door to the enemy. We're opening 0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:56.680 up the door to trouble. And for years he allowed 0:26:56.680 --> 0:26:59.000 that lie to take root. He talked about it, he 0:26:59.040 --> 0:27:02.000 thought about it. He can soon just thinking. And just 0:27:02.160 --> 0:27:07.200 as faith activates God's power, unfortunately, fear activates the enemy's power. 0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:11.040 Now I'm challenging you today to have a disciplined mind. 0:27:11.600 --> 0:27:15.840 Learn to cast down those negative, wrong imaginations. Don't even 0:27:15.880 --> 0:27:18.400 let your mind go there. You've got to keep your 0:27:18.440 --> 0:27:21.600 mind on thoughts of hope, thoughts of faith, things that 0:27:21.640 --> 0:27:24.080 are gonna build you up. After all, you're gonna get 0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:26.600 just what you expect. Why don't you go out each 0:27:26.640 --> 0:27:29.920 day expecting the best. Why don't you start expecting your 0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:33.520 family to succeed. Why don't you expect your children to excel? 0:27:34.160 --> 0:27:36.680 Or how about expecting to live a long, healthy life. 0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:39.639 It all starts right here. Some of you, like that 0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:42.560 young lady that couldn't conceive, You've got that barrier in 0:27:42.640 --> 0:27:45.679 your thinking. And until you rise up and do something 0:27:45.680 --> 0:27:49.400 about it, nothing's gonna change. You may be waiting on God, 0:27:49.520 --> 0:27:52.679 but God's waiting on you You've got to quit expecting the worst, 0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:56.040 quit focusing on the negative, get out of fear, and 0:27:56.080 --> 0:27:58.439 get over into faith. And if you will have a 0:27:58.480 --> 0:28:02.159 disciplined mind and go each day expecting good things, then 0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:04.800 God says, right here, according to your faith, it'll be 0:28:04.840 --> 0:28:07.000 done unto you. When you do that, I know this, 0:28:07.200 --> 0:28:10.480 God will pour out his blessings in favor. He'll guide you, 0:28:10.480 --> 0:28:13.360 You'll rise higher, and you'll experience the victories that He 0:28:13.400 --> 0:28:15.560 has in store. Amen.
