Mindset prt 2

Who remembers a little bit what we last time I was teaching what we learned was mine set part 1. And it was a statement that was was made and some notes that were made on Frank. Did you pass out the

Okay.

Next question is everyone have something to write with?

What's up, I was sharing to do it run or series of transformation. And last time I should we shared about mindset setting your mind getting your mind in the right place. And the first thing that pencil that we had to do. We hadn't omit that if we always do what we always done. We always get we always got and we learned that the definition of insanity was doing the same thing over again and looking for different results. Hoping that something different this time without thinking different and trying to do something different.

The review last time is the m in mind students were meditating. The word says dwell on what so ever is good lovely and true. Is it set your mind on things above we got is actually asking us to do is he's asking you to fix your mind on the right things. A lot of was we heard about positive thinking but that's not just asking you to think positive. He's asking you to accept that you've been made positive by him through the shed blood of Jesus. The next thing that we learn with the I was investing God the Bible says whatever you sow you reap and it says this in scripture if you sold to the your flashy jewelry of your flash if you so to your spirit and I like to see if you invest in God God invest in you and it's always a bigger return. The next thing the end in mine and mine was neutralizing lies. That means that all the things that are wrong and negative all the lies of the enemy. I want you to neutralizing but it goes together with the D which is the distinguished truth. If you're not meditating in the word and you're not meditating of God is if you're not invested in God, you won't be able to distinguish lies and you will not be able you won't be able to neutralize lies and you won't be able to distinguish truth. You won't have discernment. Tic-tac-toe on lesson in the next word letter and your fill out is the apps in mindset. This is a phone when it means sing shout it.

Is it in Proverbs? 18:21 death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it and indulge it eat it through and bear the consequences of their words.

A lot of times when we distinguish truth. We begin to understand it. We can to really meditate on the word and who God is and all the good things got done in our life that we have to do that sometime. We might not like to do especially if you don't have the greatest singing voice and you're in public now in the shower is totally fine. I first have to put up with your signatures or your parents.

Yeah, my sister used to say brother. You need to keep your day job.

But I didn't mind I squealed to the Lord as much as I could. And so you have to speak it out. Let me hear what happens when we begin to speak and declare it out. We begin to stink it out scientifically when we begin to do that. It's just beginning to hear our voice and it's us reaffirming ourselves. Did you know that? A lot of times were looking for affirmation from other people, but are you a friend of yourself?

Are you afraid of yourself and what God says about you? I never shouted it out. Like we sing a song that I'm no longer a slave to sin, but I am a child of God. You know, that's a declaration that you're making your coming in agreement with truth and you're declaring it out. Did you know that your tongue your mouth is so powerful. God Made You In His Image? And guess what? The wig God kind of works is the way we got to work. That's why I'm Proverbs. It says life and death is in your tongue. Let's take this let's really dive into this room moment the stress of War. In Chains 31 through 12 to the power of your words my dear brother and sisters don't be eager to become a teacher in the church since you know that we teach our higher standards of judgment. I can stay out.

Mountain We all fail in many areas. But especially with our words that if we are able to Bridle the words we say we are powerful enough to control ourselves in every way and that means our characters mature and fully develop the stop right there.

If we are able to watch what we say God's is this reflected of hot our character and our maturity level.

So what is the gauge of seeing if you're mature and him?

Did you catch that? Let's keep reading. Horses have bits and bridles in their mouth so that we can so that we can control and guide their large body. And the same with Mighty Ships do they are massive and driven by Fierce winds get their steered by a tiny Rudder at the direction of a person at the helm. And so the tongue is a small part of the body yet. It carries great power. Just think of how small of flame can study a huge Forest Ablaze and the tongue is a fire. It can be compared to the sum total of wickedness and it is the most dangerous part of our human body.

Are you understanding how severe this thing is? That James is riding that the writer of James is telling us. Did your tongue is one of the most dangerous parts of your body?

You ever take two face and you ever give her go to brush your teeth and you squeeze too much out you will never do that. Dover Straits Can you put that stuff back in there once you did it? Is it easy? No it what's that message made? The message made the same is true with your words.

What you speak it out? You got to be ready to bear the consequences of what you're saying.

Your first wish you would have said something that you said and you apologize, but the damage was already done.

I've been there in my white was here. She'd like oh, yeah, he's been there a lot.

But I'm learning.

Let's continue. It corrupts the entire body and is a hellish flame. It releases fire that can burn throughout the course of human existence for every wild animal in Earth including Birds creepy reptiles and creatures of the sea and land have all been overpowered and tame by humans. But the talk is that able to be tamed it is sickled under-strength evil and spews out words full of toxic poison. We use our tongue to praise God our Father and turn around and curse person is made in free image.

Out of the same mouth before outwards raised one minute and curse the next my brothers and sisters. This should not insist. You never be Would you look for an olives hanging on the Fig Tree or pick figs from a grapevine? Is it possible that fresh and bitter water can flow out the same screen? So neither can a bitter string produce fresh water?

Give me a second man that acted up so I'll just talk to you guys on.

The the author James wants us to understand the power that we have and what we say that it's more horrible. Do you understand that we say actions speak louder than words, but according to scripture words speak louder than action.

Let me say that again. Maybe you should write that down. We always look at people say actions speak louder than words, but scriptures looks and says your words speak louder than your actions your words are able to direct your actions just like a little Rudders able to move a ship. So your words are able to move you or removed you. They're able to bless you or the curse you if you look in the mirror everyday and say house in the recital for yourself how stupid you are how much you're an idiot how much you're a failure how much your dish and everything else. Do you understand that's going to affect you a terminal E?

Internally it's going to affect you in the Bible says as a man thinks in his heart. So is he but if you're speaking out what you're thinking about yourself and if it's not in the truth with God says that's what's going to happen. You're going to begin to manifest within yourself and around yourself that reality in which you're speaking out.

Which reality do you want to live in?

Do you want we live in God's reality it changes us. We learned that that people will tell you don't be so Heavenly minded, but the Bible says be really Heavenly minded. People who tell you not to be heavily minder. Usually just trying to pull you down you ever notice that you're in the good mood and you're you're like excited and a person say well that's nothing to be excited about.

Well, that's silly and all the sudden they rain on your parade. Not a good way either.

Yeah, this is appropriate Pastor. He made the statement to me. That was really good and I haven't forgot it. He said sometimes in life. You're the dog and sometimes you're the fire hydrant.

Which one do you want to be today?

What are your words reducing out?

Sometimes you in a Christian means that we have to be the fire hydrant.

Sometimes it means that we are called to endure we're called to be okay with dogs coming by in watering you

But your words will direct what you choose to be. That's why it's so important for us to get this year. It's not just good enough for us to grab the Bible and read it. But how many people quote scripture over their very lives? How many people do that find a scripture and you quoted one that my wife use when she was breaking away from controlling culture. She and people would tell her she's so crazy. They will try to give him get her own hat pills what I mean by is mental pills because they said if you're mentally doped-up you're easier to control. And they would tell her this and all the sudden she would feel the same xiety in herself and she's beginning to say. Oh, no, maybe I am crazy look at and she started looking at her family history of real life mental mental sickness runs in her family. That's what she was beginning to take on this false narrative that everyone else was saying but all of a sudden the truth of God's word came in and she began to quote the scripture that says you didn't give me a spirit of fear, but of power love and a sound mind and she is to get all the emotions of feeling anxiety depression people would call her even her parents and her friends and some of her siblings.

And all around her all these voices speaking to her. In the middle of that she begins at this clear God's work. You got to get a little aggressive and take God's words and begin to shout it out to see what we can do the clear. You didn't give me a spirit of fear, but of power love and a sound mind and sometimes you're waiting for God to make us feel better.

Sometimes God doesn't work that way. Sometimes it's not about you feeling better soon sizes about you declaring the truth until the truth sets you free. And sometimes it doesn't come with the Oasis feel so good. Sometimes it comes with struggling in tears and snot bubbles.

I think the Curtis with three-month over herself. I mean I can imagine it sounds like she was singing it the Lord to give me a spirit of fear, but of power love and a sound mind. Have you ever sung scripture over yourself?

Do you understand but your watch the Spartans 300 you ever notice with men go to war? What is war this beginning to be a chant in the camp? I mean Spartans. I never thought everyone was speaking that out and it created an atmosphere of Earth Energy in the room. Everyone begin to get excited like we're going to overtake this.

As Christians do we do that?

Are we willing to check God's word to ourselves. There's one that my mom would you do with used the name of the Lord is a strong tower and the righteous run to him for safety, but I can imagine big drums and play like War drums like Indian drug. The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run for safety. Hoorah the name of the African tribal on you guys.

Do you understand the creative that we going to put it in and and the confidence within yourself that this is not a mantra but this is the truth of what God's word says and I'll begin to speak over myself until something Clicks in here until it moves from from my mind into my heart to where I believe it at and I'll sing it. I was shouted and declare it over myself until God's word becomes my living reality.

The estimates that is so important because when we fail to do this part, we stay in the internal struggle. That is silent. And we're wrestling with thoughts that aren't even our own but we're not speaking out a life is life and death is in my tongue than maybe I should start speaking life over myself. There's another scripture though that I want you guys to understand that the Bible says that your tongue cannot detain you guys know the Bible tells you how to tame it.

No, it's not the scripture that uniforms considered wise when he closes his mouth to everyone just be quiet including me. It's not that one but this is Corinthians check this out. I want you to understand that no one Speaking under the power and influence of the holy spirit of God can ever say Jesus curse. Now this is the kicker and no one can really say Jesus is my Lord except by Under the power and influence of the Holy Spirit. Do you want to know how to tame this thing right here begin to bring it under the power and influence of the Holy Spirit? He's telling you how.

You ever just never paid the Prayer of Salvation with someone and you got to that part where you said and Lord, I believe that you're the Son of God. I believe that you died and rose again, but I give you my life if you understand what you be going to say Lord. I believe you're the Son of God ideology Who You Are

You start feeling this inward energy that is not normally there. But yet it is because it's the power of the Holy Spirit beginning to control your ship by touching your rudder.

That's pretty simple, isn't it?

Let's do an exercise Two guys, it's the exercise and what you guys are Jesus. I believe. You're the son of God. I believe you Rose again. Thank you for being my savior. in my Lord How many people vote excitement inside of themselves what was that was that there a moment ago? the energy almost being released

a lot of time praying in the spirit. This is the beginning of how you actually enter into praying in the spirit. Is by allowing the spirit of God to have control of your Rudder and becoming under the influence of him. And if you feel that energy that turns of life and Jesus said rivers of living water inside of you because to rise like a geyser and you begin to submit to the flow of the spirit and the leading of him and he has to influence your very life. This way out of a simple think of you confessing who he is. Now I'm not going to tell you it's easy always want to make that statement it gets tough. Cuz sometimes you're in the middle of a trial and you're speaking life and it seems like nothing's happening. But are you going to trust what you see or What God Says. The next letter is the e in set and it stands for endurance.

Indoors is the ability to withstand harsh it where eversity especially the Villa needs to stay a long stressful effort or activity. Think of a marathon runner. Do you understand running marathons are the easy this morning? I was on the treadmill. And I didn't break it but I burned a thousand calories. Do you know how hard that is I have my friend is from Puerto Rico there with me. He's like tap. I'm 200 calories ahead of you man. I said I'm going to catch you. No, no, it's like autumn. Do you understand? I want to stop my mom was telling me stop walking on the treadmill. You're crazy. Why would you endure this? What's the reason what's the point of it? Because I got to go. And I'm going to catch you to endurance absolutely gives you an ability to withstand hardship, but I'm Doris is a Grace given by God. Let's look at Romans. 5135 this is our faith in Jesus transfers God's righteousness to us and now declares us Flawless in his eyes. Let's hit the clear that right there. Can we declare that? We're Flawless in God's eyes.

The minute I said that you like hold on. Hold on a second tap. You don't know my conversation when I wrote out here at the church. You don't know what I said. You don't know the thoughts that popped in my head what the word of God says that you are flawless in his sight.

Are you going to believe that?

Are you going to believe what you think and what you feel are you going to believe what God says. Listen to this this means we can now enjoy true lasting peace with God all because of what our lord Jesus the anointed one is done for it. So if you want to get into the peace of God, you need to start thinking like God. Thinking like what God says about you. He says you're falling and maybe the reason why you're struggling having because you don't think what God says is true. Let's move on RC guarantees as permanent access into this marvelous pianist that has given us perfect relationship with. What incredible joint burst forth with us as we keep on celebrating our hope for strength in God's glory. You know, we confess Jesus is Lord, you know what you felt you begin this field that that burst of joy that energy inside because you begin technology celebrate with Jesus has done for you in life. You want to want me to share a quick way to get out of a funk you ever been in a funk you ever woke up on the wrong side of the bed and your wife may tell you one honey. Get back in the bed and get out of it again because you're not in a good mood. Never did that your wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Do you know there's a scripture that says leap for joy.

That seems so silly. Did you enjoy the jump?

Sounds like that's ridiculous. You're noticing little kids are happy where they start doing your team do a happy dance like Jackson's like what I can do he listed and turn it and I'm like, okay, we're going to put on that Mashed Potato song, you know, if you love me cuz now I can dance I can mashed potato. I can do a little twist. You guys know it don't play like you don't. But Jess is all the sudden excited and jumping up and down. The Bible says that if you job you receive Joy. But do you practice it and believe What God Says? Or is that too foolish for you?

You will either be a fool for Christ or a fool for man. Peaceful. Do you want to be?

Whiskey Tango

this picture says But that's not all even in times of trouble. We have joyful confidence knowing that our pressure will develop in a patient endurance and patience will refine our characters improving character leads us back into hello and hopes not disappointing fantasy is not a disappointing fantasy because we can now experience in this level. Cascading into our hearts to the Holy Spirit lives in is indoor. It's because he's sharing with you when you're in something when you're doing when you feel the pressure waiting on you Stick Dog Wants to produces door is but how you get endurance is like keeping your eyes your mind set on things above keeping your mind revision narrow on who Jesus is and his finished work and in that you can start rejoicing even in the middle of troubles and pressure.

That when I got sick, I didn't do that very well. Not at all. I had some funky days dude. I'm being honest rough. Just like this is horrible. No.

But I realized I had people come over. Who would you get to speak life into me they like tap? Count it all joy, when you enter into divers trials verse the work you I don't want to hear that. Shut up.

You tell it all Town Road. Hallelujah

I had another guy come over here instead and he's like that. What's bothering that's it. Well, I feel kind of beat up tore up and everything else. He said yeah, you feel that what does God say Do you understand? I'm no different than any other person. I need to be reminded a truth. That's why the Bible says encourage one another lift each other off one joint supplies another and they begin to speak life into me and explain what God says about me over me anytime. They would I felt a little lighter. I feel like my life is getting brighter.

But I realized I was producing and indoor is here that would refine my character just that guess what? I can go back to Hope and so even when we fall down we can still be rejoicing in the Lord knowing that he is the one who lifts us up. She's the one who fixes up. I don't know where you wanted you are in your life right now, but if you're in the middle of something talk a circumstance, I want to encourage you because I had the best plan for you whenever he's trying to pressure you and you down for your good. Do you believe in? Do you declare that over yourself? I was thinking. I don't know how you're going to lose use this for your your good. I mean my nerves tonight start making a joke. Like I lost my nerve, but God's giving me my nerves back. Take whatever you work at. I got my nerve back. I started joking about the things because guess what? He's my confident He's My Hope in your situation. He's your confidence.

The last part of this is the T. And it means trust.

when you're enjoying when you have Begin the singer and you shouted you're declaring troops out and you're enduring the hardships. Why don't want you guys to sell that and kind of make mistakes. Like I did that last part the teeth betrothed. I want you to trust that God's going to take you through it. I want you to begin to believe that he is going to that's why you said I want you to think of your past victories. I want you to think I'm what I have already done in your life. And what I'm going to do because when you can see what God has already brought you through it will encourage you that he's going to continue to bring you through until the next there's a scriptures you're sounding Proverbs 29:25 the sphere of human opinion disables with trusting in God protects you from that.

You know when you go through stuff how you how you're afraid to tell people I've been there. You ever anyone ever been there? You're afraid of their opinions what they might say or think about you could be a little condescending and you're already feeling bad and beat up anyway, so all you need is a little more push you right off.

But I want to encourage you today to tell you to trust in God and do not worry about the opinions of others, especially if they go against What God Says. Because when you trust in him or text you. Let me let me explain what I mean to see our human opinions disables you it disables you from having faith. There's a Man by The Name of Love. soul Who was given this beautiful opportunity to be the king of Israel? And so there's this battle that's all goes to and the prophet told him. He saw the Lord says the destroy everything. That's there take nothing. This all goes there. He gets the king. He destroys the land but he starts keeping stuff back because everyone started saying so we really need to keep this. This is good and keep these people like we can use them for our labor force install do this to all of a sudden stall starts listening to the opinions of men and no longer is listing and trusting God to protect him.

And so the profit comes to visit song says saw why didn't you listen to what God says? Why didn't you care more about what God Said as lost his people then we kept these things and are because they were good and people were saying we need to keep these do you know this didn't happen one time as far as life happens again? Solace was a way to make sacrifices you supposed to wait for the profit. Did you expect because people started getting restless around him he begin to listen to them over God and because of that the prophet told saw this day the Lord Rich The Kingdom from your hands and gives it on to your neighbor who's a man after my own heart. What kingdoms are being ripped from your hands? Because you are allowing the opinions of others to affect you and influence you over What God Says.

I think about my wife who I can imagine. She would have allowed the opinions of those people were saying she's crazy. You're out of your mind. You're going against the mainstream in this culture and begin to say all these things to her. I kind of figured she would have listened. You probably wouldn't be my wife right now.

Man shooting missed out on a good opportunity.

and I wouldn't to

she's the one the biggest blessings in my life. biggest blessings

what kingdoms are being rich from you because you care more about what people think and you're a lying there things to disable you from operating the way God wants you to and got taking you into your destiny and taking you into His blessings for your life.

Ask yourself this. Are you afraid what other people think? In some areas. We all are if we're being honest.

Naima become into a pastor and other pastors.

I'm a newbie, you know and some of these guys have some years under their belts. Some of these guys have degrees under their belts.

Then you got me this dude with dreadlocks looking like John the Baptist. But the really good cam.

And for a moment.

Spell intimidated. I got insecurities of of my really qualified. I don't have many experiences. They have am I really adequate enough to do this. Let alone being with with those leaders, but other people could express their opinions to me that you're not qualified at all.

ouch double sorry for me cuz this is making me who got these me to be. But for the moment.

That hurts. Sticks and Stones I get it but words hurt.

And I was lying that the disabled me from moving into what God has called me to move into based on the opinions of others may be in your life. It may have been a friend or a spouse or a family member that said something to you and that made you so small and insignificant.

And because of what they said it's disabled you. From living in the fullness that God has a plan for your life. It stopped you from expressing your god-given personality.

I want to encourage you today. that you would not allow anyone to limit you but you would live by What God Says About You because he wants to take you and to unlimited Love Unlimited faith and unlimited opportunity. In which your life becomes full of life. Actually, Jesus said something like that. He said I came to give you life and life abundantly. That means to the max the best like you ever could imagine.

Maybe you're here today and you're saying listen preacher. I don't even I really don't even know God. I don't even know about that life. I've been through hell, honestly. I like the Vintage Campbell's lately baby. You you feel like you don't really know what I'm going through.

I want to tell you and encourage you that Jesus said I come to give you life. Everyone just bother head right now. Close your eyes.

It's up to you here today and say I have never experienced that Abundant Life is starts in your life and buy you accepting him in your life. If you like to accept Jesus personally. No pressure. No, shame no guilt. Would you like to accept Jesus as your lord and savior? Why every eyes closed and his mouth put your hand in the air?

Okay.

Alright, thank you. Put them down, please. I want to tell you as a body as a family we're going to stay this with you cuz you're not alone. You're not coming into faith alone. You're coming into it with the family and a support team that wants to be there for you. So if that's you I want you all to repeat after me say Jesus. I believe. That you are the son of God.

And that you were raised from the dead.

according to God's word I give you my life.

I ask that you would feel me now.

with your Holy Spirit

And your mighty name?

amen friends that we believe is you prayed that prayer that you received Jesus that he's safe for his word doesn't lie that he came into your life your situation your very heart your very being and that it's the beginning of transformation the more you allow him to the more he transforms your life and the more he transforms your life. He transforms your world around you. I just want to bless you guys and you're just mess.
