I like to 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.720 get started each week with something kind of funny. And 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.640 somebody sent me this email, and I might mention that it 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.640 was from a woman, but it says, according to the 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:33.360 Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:38.080 female reindeer grow antlers in the summer, male reindeer drop 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.240 their antlers at the beginning of winter in late November. 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:46.120 Female reindeer keep their antlers until the spring. This means 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:50.080 all of Santa's reindeer, from Rudolph to Blitzen had to 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.320 be female. She goes on to say, we should have 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:56.320 known only women would be able to drag around a 0:02:56.400 --> 0:03:00.640 fat man in a red velvet suit all around the 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:01.520 world and one. 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:02.720 Night and not get lost. 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:08.240 All right, hold your bibles up, say it like you 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:09.200 mean it. Are you ready? 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.560 This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.760 I have what it says I have, I can do 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.480 what it says I can do. Today I will be 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:22.840 taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.320 is alert, my heart is receptive. 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:29.480 I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:30.119 bless you. 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.720 We've been talking about staying in the right environment, how 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:38.880 important it is that we surround ourselves with good influences. 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:43.000 We have to realize that we are constantly feeding ourselves, 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:48.360 not physically, of course, but spiritually. Everything we watch, everything, 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.600 we listen to, the people we choose to be around, 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.960 the thoughts we choose to dwell on. All of these 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:58.760 things are feeding our inner man. Just like a computer, 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.560 we are continually being programmed, and we can either feed 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:06.680 ourselves life or we can feed ourselves death. If you're 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:10.160 watching a bunch of junk on television, people that are 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:15.240 not respectful, people that have no integrity, no morals, unfortunately, 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.440 you're just feeding yourself death. Well, hey, you say, Joel, 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.719 it's just entertainment. It's not hurting anything. 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:21.640 Now. 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.640 The fact is, if you put garbage in, you're going 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.880 to get garbage out. If you hang around people that 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.000 are negative and critical, before long, you're going to be 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:35.440 negative and critical. It's because you're feeding yourself the wrong things. 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.120 We've all heard that saying you will become what you eat. 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.760 That's why the Bible tells us to guard our hearts. 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.440 You have to guard what you take in because it's 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:50.279 going to affect everything about you. See, our ears and 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:54.800 our eyes are the gates to our souls. Everything we watch, 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.719 everything we listen to, gets down on the inside. It's 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.440 being permanently stored. And if you're feeding yourself a bunch 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.760 of trash, watching the wrong things, hanging around the wrong people, 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.560 or even dwelling on the wrong thoughts, whether you realize 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.000 it or not, that is affecting you. And I'm challenging 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:18.160 us today to be extremely careful what we put in 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.240 because eventually it is going to come out. For instance, 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.800 if you make the mistake of getting up every morning 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:29.960 dwelling on negative, discouraging thoughts, thinking about your problems, thinking 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.680 about what a lousy day is going to be, all 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:36.480 you're really doing is feeding yourself death. You are programming 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.599 yourself to have a lousy day. On the other hand, 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:41.800 if you'll get up and say this is going to 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:44.880 be a great day, I know God's favor surrounds me 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:45.800 like a shield, and. 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:47.360 I am excited about this day. 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.640 When you do that, you are feeding yourself life, and 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:52.880 you're going to draw in the. 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:53.760 Good things of God. 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.480 You attract what you continually think about, just like a magnet. 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.279 You are going to draw in what you're always dwelling on. 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.159 And the Bible tells us in the Book of Joshua 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:08.520 that night and day we should meditate on God's word 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.400 all through the day. In the back of your mind, 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.719 you should be thinking, I am strong in the Lord. 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.880 I can do all things through Christ. I am a 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.920 victor and not a victim. My children are going to 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:24.039 fulfill their destiny. See that's more than just positive thinking. 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.279 That's feeding your inner man life and victory. You're feeding 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:29.040 your inner man. 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:29.840 The right things. 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.599 And this is just what my mother did back in 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:36.080 nineteen eighty one when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:38.000 She got about. 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.840 Fifty eight scriptures that had to do with healing, and 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.719 she began to meditate on them. I'd hear her going 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.919 all through the house quoting those scriptures under her breath. 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.040 She even put them up so she could see them 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:54.240 on the refrigerator. She saw with long life, God satisfies me. 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:58.800 On the bathroom mirror. God is restoring health underment on 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:02.320 the back door, I will live and not die. See, 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:06.400 she was feeding her inner man life, meditating on God's word. 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.760 And she could have so easily sunk down into that 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:13.400 dark hold of depression. She only weighed eighty nine pounds. 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.520 The doctors gave her no hope, but mother chose not 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.600 to dwell on that. Instead, she chose to dwell on 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.520 the fact that the things that are impossible with men 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:24.000 are possible with God. 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.520 And not only that, she put. 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:30.680 Up pictures of herself when she was very healthy. She 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.640 had a picture of herself riding a horse in Montana. 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.000 She had that in the kitchen. She put up several 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:41.080 of her wedding pictures all over the house. Everywhere she looked, 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:45.160 she saw herself strong and healthy. She saw herself full 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:49.160 of life and energy. She saw those scriptures that reinforced 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:53.320 her faith. What was she doing feeding her inner man life. 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:58.040 She was feeding her self hope, faith, victory. I'm challenging 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.280 you do the same thing up every morning and feed 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:06.280 yourself life, feed your self hope, feed yourself victory. Everywhere 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.760 you look you should see things that inspire you. Put 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:14.360 up scriptures around your house, in your office, in your car, 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.400 put up pictures that inspire you. What you see is 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.080 going to get down in you. I have pictures up 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.480 all over my office of things that remind me of victory. 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.960 I have that big key that the city gave us 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.800 to the Compact Center. When I look at that, that 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.080 inspires me. That reminds me that God can do more 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.400 than we can even ask or think. I have a 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.600 plaque that our publisher sent us when we sold our 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:39.800 first million books. 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:41.120 That inspires me. 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.760 When I look at that, that tells me that there 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.880 are no limits with our God. We have scripture verses 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.559 up all over our house. I recognize what we see 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.400 is going to get down in us. Well, you said, Joel, 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:54.520 I don't have anything like that. 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:56.959 Man, if you only knew my life. No, you can 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:57.600 find something. 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.319 At least get up in the morning and go look 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:04.040 at God's creation, Look at the sunrise, look at the trees, 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.560 look at the flowers. Take in God's beauty. Find something 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:11.520 that inspires you. You got to feed yourself life and victory. 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:12.800 I know. 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.280 I like to start my day the first thirty minutes 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.000 or so just thanking God for what He's done in 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:22.200 my life, just meditating on his promises, taking in his beauty. 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.440 That helps to start the day off right. See, don't 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.360 just rush out of your house in a hurry, running late, 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:32.200 pressured by work. No, take time to feed yourself life. 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.600 Pay more attention to what you're putting in. I know 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.040 some people when they get up in the morning, first 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.680 thing they do is turn on the news. They fill 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.760 their mind with all the killings from last night, all 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:45.719 the accidents, all the tragedies. 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:47.600 That doesn't do anything positive. 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.120 And yes, I like to watch the news, but I 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.720 don't believe it's healthy to start our days off like that. 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.640 Start your day off in an attitude of thanksgiving. Start 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.480 the day off in a positive frame of mind, thanking 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:00.040 God for. 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:01.000 What He's done in your life. 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:03.920 That's gonna help set the tone for your whole day, 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.920 even when you drive to work. Learn to feed yourself 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.680 good things. Don't just flip on any station. Why don't 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.440 you put on a good praise CD. Why don't you 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.400 put on music and let that life and victory that's 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.600 on the inside get down in you. I found most 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.360 of the time we're gonna be feeding ourselves something. We 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:24.960 might as well feed ourselves the right things. I know 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.240 the other day I was in a restaurant and this 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.120 song came on and I'm sure the men meant well, 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.200 but it was so pitiful, It was so sad. He 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.560 was singing about how his wife had just left him 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:39.000 and now he was all broken hearted and so lonely, 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.320 and he didn't have anywhere to go, and he's just 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:44.000 about to ride off into the sunset, all broken and 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.880 defet it. About halfway through, I thought, man, I'm about 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:51.680 to go with you. I found myself starting to get depressed, 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.000 hanging my head, and I thought, later, who in the 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.920 world listens to that junk? All that's doing is ministering 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:02.360 death to you. I heard somebody say, if you play 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:05.960 a country Western song backwards, the man gets his wife back, 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:10.959 his truck back, and his dog back. Put on good 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.120 praise music. Put on music that's gonna build you up, 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.800 music that's gonna inspire you and not drag you down. 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:20.400 I know when I used to get in my car, 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.400 first thing I do is turn on the news. Do 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.280 you know what I do now? I put on I 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.640 am a friend of God. I put on Lord, you 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:31.080 are good. Your mercy endures forever. You gotta be careful 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.520 what you listen to. Your ears are not garbage cans 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.680 to fill with a bunch of trash, take care of 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.920 your temple. Every day. You should listen to good music. 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.320 Put it on in your car, put it on at 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.000 your house. Feed yourself life. 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:45.439 In Victory, I. 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.920 Read where the average American spends four hundred hours a 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.920 year in their car driving back and forth to work, 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.320 and I thought, how many people use that time to 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.599 feed themselves the wrong things. They feed themselves things and 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.200 they're just gonna drag them down. And maybe you don't 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.520 particularly like listening to music, but you should at least 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.440 listen to something that's going to help you grow. That 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.720 is very valuable time, and you should use it to 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:15.040 increase and improve yourself. In fact, one study said that 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.840 if we'd spend that same drive time listening to teaching 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.120 tapes over a three year period, that would be the 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:23.520 equivalent of spending two. 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.000 Years in college. 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.640 I think about how many people just go year after 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:31.000 year feeding themselves jump and they wonder why they're depressed, 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:32.920 why they're negative, why they have no joy. 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.800 Now you've got to check up on what you're feeding yourself. 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.679 Had a man tell me just the other day how 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.679 he had struggled with depression and just being negative year 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.720 after year. But he said Joel, I got your CD 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:48.120 on not Losing your Joy, and I started listening to 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.280 that in my car every day driving back and forth 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.760 to work. He said, I've probably heard that message a 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.920 thousand times. I can almost quote it verbatim, but I 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.760 just keep listening to it. See, he was taking that 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:03.160 time time to feed his inner man life. He recognized 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.880 the importance of what he was putting in. You don't 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:07.640 have to listen to my CDs. You can listen to 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.120 somebody else's. They're not as good as mine. 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:10.760 But you can still listen. 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:17.240 But find something least, I'm honest, find something that feeds 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.680 you life, something that's going to build you up. And 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.520 if you're struggling in a certain area, do what he did. 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.559 Find something to target that area, and just listen to 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.600 it over and over again. But every chance we get, 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.440 we should be putting things in that's going to help 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.680 us increase, things that are going to help us grow. 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.480 All through the Bible, it compares our life to the 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:40.240 life of an eagle, And if you study the egle, 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:45.000 you'll find that the eagle strength is found in its diet. 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:49.040 And what's interesting is the eagle won't eat anything dead. 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.480 The egle only feeds off of live foods. 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.440 Now other birds in the same category somewhat like a 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.960 vulture or a buzzard, they'll eat anything they can get. 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.720 In fact, their whole existence is based off of other 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.720 dead animals. But not the eagle. He doesn't take the 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.600 easy way out. He flies upstream to look for salmon. 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.480 He has incredible vision. He can spot that salmon. 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:15.680 Up to half a mile away. 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.720 He sweeps down there and grabs that salmon, and he'll 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.800 have that fresh fish for dinner. But see the eagle, 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:26.080 unless he's in captivity, he only feeds off the live foods. 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.120 And the Bible tells us we are to mount up 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:33.080 with wings as the eagle, not as the buzzard, not 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.400 as the vulture, not as the chicken, And just like 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.840 that eagle, our strength is going to be found in 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:39.400 our diet. 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:41.760 It's going to be found in what we're putting in. 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.680 You can't go around eating a bunch of dead junk 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:49.480 and expect to stay strong and healthy. This is true physically, 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.920 but I'm talking, of course today about spiritually. If you're 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.920 hanging around with people that gossip, you need to recognize 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:57.360 what they're feeding you is dead. 0:14:58.080 --> 0:14:59.760 If you eat it long enough, it's gonna get down 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:00.240 in you. 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.160 If you're watching a bunch of junk on television, a 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.280 junk on the internet, you're feeding yourself dead things. 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.800 And here's the thing. You can live off that dead food. 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.640 An eagle can survive eating with the vultures and the 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:17.240 chickens and the buzzards. But here's the problem. He's never 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:20.920 gonna soar. He's never gonna become what God created him 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.960 to be. And in the same way, if you're dwelling 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.120 on the wrong thoughts, filling your mind with a bunch 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:31.120 of trash, sure you'll survive, but you'll never sore us. 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:35.040 You'll never experience God's abundant life. And I'm asking us 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:39.040 today to take inventory of what we're feeding ourselves. What 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.760 kind of movies do you watch, what kind of music 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.360 do you listen to? What kind of friends do you 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:48.560 choose to hang around? All these things are feeding us. Now, 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:50.720 I really believe some of you would go to a 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:54.440 whole new level if you just quit feeding yourself dead things. 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.200 You shouldn't hang around with people that are negative, people 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.760 that compromise, people that gossip all the time. 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.040 That junk can rub off on you. Do you know 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:05.760 spirits are transferable. 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.120 You get around somebody that's jealous all the time, and 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:10.640 that old jealous spirit can get. 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:11.760 Off on you. 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.360 You hang around people that are negative and critical, and 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.120 you just watch and see if over time you don't 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.080 start to become more negative and critical. That's why it's 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.440 so important to surround yourself with people that have what 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:27.120 you want. I do my best to surround myself with 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.520 people that are givers and not takers, people that are happy, 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:31.920 people that have a dream. 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:32.440 For their life. 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:37.000 I recognize that spirit can come off on me even 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.600 when we listen to music. The words may seem good, 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.320 the beat may be kind of catchy, but what we 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.880 really need to know is who is this person that's 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:49.360 feeding my inner man? What do they believe, what do 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.880 they stand for, what kind of life do they live? 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.160 Their spirit can come through that music and get off 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:58.840 on me. Young people, you have to be extremely careful 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.640 because there's so much out there today that's destructive. 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:02.760 And you may not. 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.720 Think it's hurting anything and you're just having fun, but no, 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:07.520 this is a spiritual principle. 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:08.600 It's getting in you. 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:12.520 When you say Joel, everybody's doing it. Everybody listens to 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:17.320 this group. Everybody watches these movies. Now listen, you're not everybody. 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.600 You are a child of the most high God. You 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:25.000 have a destiny to fulfill. The enemy would love to 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:27.960 drag you down and get your computer all messed up, 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:31.040 program with a bunch of junk to where you don't 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.040 make good choices in life. No, don't fall into that trap. 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:37.000 Stay on the high road, you say, Joel, I know 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.840 this movie has a few bad scenes, got a little 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:41.880 bit of bad language, just a little bit of nudity, 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:43.440 but overall it's pretty good. 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.280 No, let me tell you are made for more than that. 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.520 That's like digging around in a garbage can trying to 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:50.880 find a good biscuit to eat. 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:53.679 Sure you may find something, but what about all that 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:55.680 other junk that's gonna get off on you. 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:59.080 Now, be selective, feed yourself only things that are gonna 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:03.600 build you up. Proverbs fifteen fourteen says only a fool 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.960 feeds on trash. I know some people they've been sitting 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.639 around for the last twenty two years watching soap operas 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.720 every day, and they're convinced it's not affecting them. They 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.000 tell me, Oh, Joel, I know the difference between right 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:18.879 and wrong. It's just entertaining, And yes, it may be 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.399 entertaining you, but it's also filling your mind with all. 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:23.520 Kinds of wrong values. 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.680 And if you watch people over and over again being 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:31.400 unfaithful in relationships, stabbing somebody in the back over here, 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:35.359 manipulating somebody over here, well, little by little, that's chipping 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.520 away at your values. The more you watch, the more 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:41.880 comfortable you're gonna get. And before long, if you're not careful, 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:44.760 you'll think it's okay to do what they're doing. What's 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:49.000 happened very subtly, very cleverly. You've been deceived into lowering 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:53.480 your standards. Friends, you will become what you eat. You've 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:55.879 got to be selective as to what you allow in 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:59.639 your temple. Your ears and your eyes are gates, and 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:03.480 only you can control what you allow in you know 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:05.920 as well as I do. In this society that we're 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:09.400 living in, sex is what sells. If you're gonna keep 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:12.080 your mind pure, if you're gonna keep your temple holy, 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:13.840 you've got to stay on guard. 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:15.200 You've gotta be on the offensive. 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:18.359 I know, even at our house, we get these catalogs 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.240 in the mail, and you know what some of the 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:23.560 catalogs look like, well, you can either feed off that 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:27.239 dead stuff and let your mind get polluted, or you 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:30.680 can choose to just walk away. The scripture tells us 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:33.159 we should think on things that are pure, things that 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:36.119 are wholesome. And what I'm saying today is if we 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:39.280 put trash in, we're gonna get trash out. May not 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:43.239 happen overnight, but sooner or later you will reap the 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:46.280 seeds that you've been sowing. And I know some people 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:48.480 they think they can get away with hanging around with 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:52.760 the wrong crowd or dwelling on negative, discouraging. 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:54.360 Thoughts, but it always catches up to them. 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.879 And you know what happens when we continually watch things 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:01.280 that we know are not right, it is sensitizing us 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:04.240 to it. In other words, we see it so much 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:07.880 that it's no big deal. We're not alarmed by it anymore. 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.879 I mean, if you watch somebody cheat on their spouse 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:14.040 long enough, you'll begin to think it's okay. You watch 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.800 somebody cheating a business deal or stab somebody in the 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:19.760 back long enough, after a period of time, you kind 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:23.280 of think, man, that's just business, that's just life. Many times, 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:27.280 not all the times, but TV glamorizes the wrong things. 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:32.119 Many times, people that are happy in relationships are shown 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:34.520 by people that are only not married. 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:37.720 It's very subtle. It's saying, in a roundabout. 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:39.120 Way, if you want to be happy, if you want 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:41.240 to really have fun, you got to cheat, you gotta 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:44.520 play around. If you watch that junk long enough, you're 0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:46.120 being programmed to accept it. 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:47.800 Even if it's subconsciously. 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:51.399 Remember, everything is going in and Jesus said there in 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:55.520 Matthew twelve, verse thirty five, a good man, out of 0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:59.160 the good treasure of his heart, brings forth good things. 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:04.359 Evil man brings forth evil things. Notice it's talking about 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.280 what we've been putting in. It's talking about what we've 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:10.479 been feeding ourselves, what's in our heart. And I'm not 0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:13.879 preaching against television today, but when something comes on that 0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:16.560 you know is not right, that's why God created the 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:20.200 remote control. You can change the channel, but you cannot 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:22.560 sit there night after night and watch things that you 0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:25.600 know are not right and not expect it to affect you. 0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:30.879 We have to realize, even subconsciously, it's going in the 0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:33.160 mind is extremely incredible. 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:34.639 It can take in. 0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:37.520 Things that we're not even aware of. And that's why 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:40.200 you shouldn't just leave your TV on as background noise 0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:43.520 during the day. Don't just leave any radio station on 0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:46.399 at home or at work. You may not even be 0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:49.639 paying attention, and yet things can be going in that you're. 0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:50.040 Not aware of. 0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:52.359 We have to be on guard, We have to be 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:54.800 diligent if we're going to keep the junk out of 0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:58.920 our temple and parents, we need to be especially careful 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:02.520 about the video games that we allow our children to play. 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:06.520 Many of them are so violent, so graphic today that 0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:09.800 by the time they're ten or eleven years old, they 0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:13.160 think nothing of death, they think nothing of killing, they 0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:17.720 think nothing of fighting. It's slowly lowering their standards. It's 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:21.760 desensitizing them to it. I was reading about this teenage 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:25.240 student several years ago. He shot and killed four of 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:29.640 his fellow classmates. The community and his parents they were shocked. 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:32.600 He was a model student, and they asked him how 0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:35.440 he could possibly do it, and he said, oh, it's 0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:39.600 not hard. I kill every day talking about his video games. 0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:43.000 You will become what you eat. And if you program 0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:45.119 your computer with a bunch of junk, it's going to 0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:48.119 cause you all kinds of problems and parents, God is 0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:51.480 going to hold us responsible for our children. We can't 0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:54.080 just drop our teenagers off at the mall and let 0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:56.359 them watch any movie that they want to. There needs 0:22:56.359 --> 0:22:58.840 to be some guidelines. There needs to be some boundaries. 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:03.560 Use the television as a babysitter for your little children. 0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:06.440 If you plant them in front of the TV, they 0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:08.919 may very well grow into something that you don't like. 0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:12.639 And I know this takes time. We're all busy these days, 0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:15.160 but we have one chance to raise our children. 0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:18.360 Let's make sure that we do it right. Let's be careful. 0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:21.320 What we allow into them is helping to form who 0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:26.520 they are. And I know some of these things we 0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:29.640 don't really have a choice. It seems like almost everywhere 0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:32.960 we look these days, on a billboard or the magazine 0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:35.920 stand at the grocery store, there's some kind of bad influence. 0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:37.840 But what I'm saying today is we got to just 0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:40.960 learn to turn away. Our attitude should be I am 0:23:40.960 --> 0:23:43.679 not going to poison my mind. If you're watching a 0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:46.720 ballgame and a commercial comes on that's not wholesome, just 0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:49.840 flip away, be an eagle, don't feed off the dead stuff. 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:52.639 Your friends ask you to go see a movie and 0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:54.520 you know it's not right, you don't feel good about 0:23:54.520 --> 0:23:55.360 it down in here. 0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:57.359 Just be bold enough to say no thanks. 0:23:57.800 --> 0:23:59.920 If they want to feed on that junket's up to them, 0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:02.800 but your attitude should be I'm staying on the high road. 0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:05.199 I'm only going to feed off of good things so 0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:08.240 I can stay strong and healthy. And a few years ago, 0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:10.840 Victoria and I went to a Broadway play. It was 0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:13.399 one of the top rated shows during that time, and 0:24:13.600 --> 0:24:16.399 somebody had given us very expensive tickets right up front, 0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:19.480 and so we showed up. But the first ten minutes 0:24:19.600 --> 0:24:22.240 or so, the language was really terrible. 0:24:22.680 --> 0:24:23.760 I mean every other. 0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:26.280 Word was a curse word, and some of the scenes 0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:28.800 were very questionable, and I kept thinking that. 0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:30.480 It was going to get better, but it never did. 0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:31.800 And finally I. 0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:34.919 Told Victoria, man, I don't want to feed myself this junk. 0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:37.320 I know people are gonna think I'm a stick in 0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:40.840 the mud, but I value who I am. I realize 0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:43.320 that it's being recorded on the inside. 0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:46.720 And so we just very quietly stepped away. 0:24:47.320 --> 0:24:50.320 And yes, the tickets were very expensive, Yes they were 0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:53.440 very valuable, but you know what's more valuable the temple 0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:58.480 that God's given me. And I refuse, I refuse to 0:24:58.600 --> 0:25:01.200 allow anybody to just up a whole bunch of garbage 0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:04.040 in me. I don't want that spirit being transferred often 0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:06.160 to me. And I know some people thinking, well, well, Joe, 0:25:06.240 --> 0:25:08.879 you just stiff man, that's not hurting anything. But no, 0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:12.520 if you put garbage in somewhere, in some way, shape 0:25:12.560 --> 0:25:14.640 or form, that garbage is gonna come out. It's gonna 0:25:14.640 --> 0:25:18.720 affect you. If people are telling off colored jokes around. 0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:19.879 You, you don't have to be rude. 0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:22.080 I'm not saying to condemn them and try to beat 0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:24.920 them down, but I am saying you should care enough 0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:27.760 about your temple to walk away. If you're going to 0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:30.320 be an ego, you've got to stay away from dead things. 0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:32.760 And let me tell you, you may not be able 0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:35.520 to watch everything your peers watch. You may not be 0:25:35.560 --> 0:25:39.160 able to listen to everything your friends listen to. There's 0:25:39.200 --> 0:25:41.800 a price to pay for living in victory. But if 0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:44.280 you'll stay on that high road and only feed off 0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:47.800 of good things, you'll continue to rise higher while many 0:25:47.840 --> 0:25:50.919 of them just flounder around in mediocrity. But there is 0:25:50.960 --> 0:25:53.359 a price to pay. We have to keep our temple pure. 0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:57.200 I think it about Sampson. He had a supernatural birth. 0:25:57.720 --> 0:26:00.720 His mother had never had any children, and the angel 0:26:00.760 --> 0:26:03.320 appeared unto her and said, you're going to have a son, 0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:06.560 and he will begin to deliver Israel from the hand 0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:11.160 of the Philistines. God had a divine purpose for Sampson's life. 0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:14.120 He was chosen and set apart. And you remember how 0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:18.080 he had that supernatural strength and power. But Sampson had 0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:22.440 a major weakness in his character. He didn't exercise restraint 0:26:22.600 --> 0:26:25.520 over what he looked at. He allowed his mind to 0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:29.600 become polluted. It's interesting the first words recorded in the 0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:34.040 Bible out of Sampson's mouth, where I saw a woman and. 0:26:33.960 --> 0:26:34.680 In a nutshell. 0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:37.159 That was the story of his life. He couldn't keep 0:26:37.200 --> 0:26:38.160 his eyes focused on. 0:26:38.119 --> 0:26:38.840 The right things. 0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:42.080 Little by little that led him off of God's best path. 0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:45.439 And if you study his life, although he was called 0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:48.639 to do great things, he spent most of his time 0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:54.080 in mediocrity, hanging out with prostitutes, posing riddles to the Philistines, 0:26:54.680 --> 0:26:57.120 all because he didn't control what he looked at. 0:26:57.280 --> 0:26:59.720 He just kept feeding himself a bunch of jump. 0:27:00.520 --> 0:27:03.560 When the Philistines finally captured him, the first thing they 0:27:03.600 --> 0:27:06.840 did was to gouge out his eyes. They even knew 0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:08.960 that was his big problem. They knew that was the 0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:12.160 gateway to his lost And really it's a sad story. 0:27:12.560 --> 0:27:15.679 When Sampson should have been delivering the people of God, 0:27:16.320 --> 0:27:20.440 he ended up as a slave, blind, grinding at the mill, 0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:24.600 all because he didn't keep his thought life pure. And friends, 0:27:24.720 --> 0:27:28.240 just like Sampson, every one of you has a divine destiny. 0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:31.920 God has chosen you, he has called you, He's put 0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:33.359 seeds of greatness in you. 0:27:33.840 --> 0:27:35.840 But you have to do your part and keep your 0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:36.520 temple pure. 0:27:37.160 --> 0:27:40.439 Now I'm challenging you today to take inventory of what 0:27:40.480 --> 0:27:45.280 you're feeding yourself, your thoughts, your friends, your entertainment. Is 0:27:45.320 --> 0:27:48.120 it building you up? Is it causing you to grow 0:27:48.200 --> 0:27:51.360 and increase? If not, why don't you make some changes. 0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:54.840 Life is too short to go around in mediocrity. Be 0:27:54.960 --> 0:27:57.720 an eagle, stay away from dead things. It's got to 0:27:57.760 --> 0:28:01.359 guard your eyes. Guard your ears the gateway to your soul. 0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:04.960 Learn to get up every morning and dwell on good thoughts. 0:28:05.520 --> 0:28:08.080 Start your day off thanking God for what He's done. 0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:11.520 Put things up around you that inspire you. Listen to 0:28:11.520 --> 0:28:14.920 good music, and all day long, meditate on God's word. 0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:18.240 If you will continually feed yourself good things. 0:28:18.480 --> 0:28:19.800 Let me tell you you'll be an ego. 0:28:20.119 --> 0:28:22.639 You'll have God's strength and power, and you'll begin to 0:28:22.720 --> 0:28:25.400 soar and really live that life of victory that God 0:28:25.400 --> 0:28:26.040 has in story. 0:28:26.040 --> 0:28:28.960 Amen, you receive it today, and I know you do. 0:28:30.480 --> 0:28:33.480 We never like to close our broadcast without giving you 0:28:33.520 --> 0:28:36.200 an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:40.920 Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I 0:28:41.080 --> 0:28:45.800 repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll make 0:28:45.880 --> 0:28:49.360 you my Lord and savior.
