I want to talk to you today about reprogramming your mind. our mind is like a
00:01:28.745 --> 00:01:31.514
About reprogramming your mind. our mind is like a computer. how we program it is
00:01:31.581 --> 00:01:33.716
Mind. our mind is like a computer. how we program it is the way it's going to function.
00:01:33.783 --> 00:01:36.819
Computer. how we program it is the way it's going to function. you can have the most powerful
00:01:36.886 --> 00:01:38.087
The way it's going to function. you can have the most powerful computer made, the latest,
00:01:38.154 --> 00:01:39.822
You can have the most powerful computer made, the latest, fastest, holds the most memory
00:01:39.889 --> 00:01:42.225
Computer made, the latest, fastest, holds the most memory but if you put the wrong
00:01:42.292 --> 00:01:43.860
Fastest, holds the most memory but if you put the wrong software in it it's not going to
00:01:43.927 --> 00:01:45.728
But if you put the wrong software in it it's not going to function like it was designed.
00:01:45.795 --> 00:01:48.364
Software in it it's not going to function like it was designed. we've all had to deal with these
00:01:48.431 --> 00:01:50.099
Function like it was designed. we've all had to deal with these computer viruses. they can get
00:01:50.166 --> 00:01:52.001
We've all had to deal with these computer viruses. they can get into a perfectly good computer
00:01:52.068 --> 00:01:54.571
Computer viruses. they can get into a perfectly good computer and start to contaminate the
00:01:54.637 --> 00:01:56.039
Into a perfectly good computer and start to contaminate the software. before long the
00:01:56.105 --> 00:01:58.274
And start to contaminate the software. before long the computer is slow. you can't
00:01:58.341 --> 00:01:59.642
Software. before long the computer is slow. you can't access your files. all these
00:01:59.709 --> 00:02:02.111
Computer is slow. you can't access your files. all these problems occur not because
00:02:02.178 --> 00:02:04.447
Access your files. all these problems occur not because it's defective, it's poorly
00:02:04.514 --> 00:02:06.416
Problems occur not because it's defective, it's poorly made. no, the hardware is fine.
00:02:06.482 --> 00:02:09.219
It's defective, it's poorly made. no, the hardware is fine. it's because somebody
00:02:09.285 --> 00:02:11.054
Made. no, the hardware is fine. it's because somebody reprogrammed the software.
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.456
It's because somebody reprogrammed the software. somehow the insides got messed
00:02:13.523 --> 00:02:15.725
Reprogrammed the software. somehow the insides got messed up. now the software is
00:02:15.792 --> 00:02:17.126
Somehow the insides got messed up. now the software is contaminated.
00:02:17.193 --> 00:02:19.062
Up. now the software is contaminated. in the same way, when god
00:02:19.128 --> 00:02:20.797
Contaminated. in the same way, when god created you he stepped back and
00:02:20.863 --> 00:02:23.032
In the same way, when god created you he stepped back and said, "another masterpiece."
00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:25.902
Created you he stepped back and said, "another masterpiece." your hardware is perfect.
00:02:25.969 --> 00:02:28.171
Said, "another masterpiece." your hardware is perfect. you're the right size, the right
00:02:28.238 --> 00:02:29.539
Your hardware is perfect. you're the right size, the right nationality. you have the right
00:02:29.606 --> 00:02:31.541
You're the right size, the right nationality. you have the right gifts. not only that, god put
00:02:31.608 --> 00:02:33.243
Nationality. you have the right gifts. not only that, god put the right software in you.
00:02:33.309 --> 00:02:37.013
Gifts. not only that, god put the right software in you. from the very beginning he
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.282
The right software in you. from the very beginning he programed you to be victorious,
00:02:39.349 --> 00:02:41.884
From the very beginning he programed you to be victorious, healthy, strong, creative.
00:02:41.951 --> 00:02:44.988
Programed you to be victorious, healthy, strong, creative. your original software says,
00:02:45.054 --> 00:02:47.490
Healthy, strong, creative. your original software says, "you can do all things through
00:02:47.557 --> 00:02:48.691
Your original software says, "you can do all things through christ." he programmed,
00:02:48.758 --> 00:02:50.560
"you can do all things through christ." he programmed, "whatever you touch will
00:02:50.627 --> 00:02:52.028
Christ." he programmed, "whatever you touch will prosper and succeed." he
00:02:52.095 --> 00:02:53.863
"whatever you touch will prosper and succeed." he programmed, "the head and not
00:02:53.930 --> 00:02:55.331
Prosper and succeed." he programmed, "the head and not the tail. lend and not borrow.
00:02:55.398 --> 00:02:58.201
Programmed, "the head and not the tail. lend and not borrow. victor and not victim."
00:02:58.268 --> 00:03:00.970
The tail. lend and not borrow. victor and not victim." you were programmed to live an
00:03:01.037 --> 00:03:02.538
Victor and not victim." you were programmed to live an abundant, victorious, faith
00:03:02.605 --> 00:03:04.307
You were programmed to live an abundant, victorious, faith filled life. that's how your
00:03:04.374 --> 00:03:05.808
Abundant, victorious, faith filled life. that's how your creator designed you.
00:03:05.875 --> 00:03:08.811
Filled life. that's how your creator designed you. but the reason we don't always
00:03:08.878 --> 00:03:10.780
Creator designed you. but the reason we don't always experience this abundant life is
00:03:10.847 --> 00:03:13.449
But the reason we don't always experience this abundant life is we've allowed viruses to
00:03:13.516 --> 00:03:14.851
Experience this abundant life is we've allowed viruses to contaminate our software.
00:03:14.917 --> 00:03:17.520
We've allowed viruses to contaminate our software. we think, "i'll never be
00:03:17.587 --> 00:03:18.921
Contaminate our software. we think, "i'll never be successful. i'm not that
00:03:18.988 --> 00:03:20.323
We think, "i'll never be successful. i'm not that talented." "i'll never break
00:03:20.390 --> 00:03:22.158
Successful. i'm not that talented." "i'll never break this addiction. i've had it too
00:03:22.225 --> 00:03:23.860

This addiction. i've had it too long." "i'm slow, clumsy, unattractive. nothing good is
00:03:26.296 --> 00:03:27.930
Long." "i'm slow, clumsy, unattractive. nothing good is in my future." because our
00:03:27.997 --> 00:03:29.932
Unattractive. nothing good is in my future." because our software is infected we go
00:03:29.999 --> 00:03:32.568
In my future." because our software is infected we go around with low self-esteem,
00:03:32.635 --> 00:03:34.637
Software is infected we go around with low self-esteem, negative, not believing for
00:03:34.704 --> 00:03:37.040

A reality. but too often the mistake we make is we water the wrong seeds. those two ladies
00:10:37.693 --> 00:10:40.563
Mistake we make is we water the wrong seeds. those two ladies that said i wasn't as good as

Joshua put it this way. "if you will meditate on what god says about you day and night then

Will meditate on what god says about you day and night then you will have good success and

About you day and night then you will have good success and prosper in everything you do."
00:11:00.249 --> 00:11:03.252

And over. every time he thought about it he was watering that seed year after year. it's sad
00:11:21.504 --> 00:11:24.039
About it he was watering that seed year after year. it's sad to say but it became a reality.
00:11:24.106 --> 00:11:27.443
Seed year after year. it's sad to say but it became a reality. how different would his life be
00:11:27.510 --> 00:11:29.345
To say but it became a reality. how different would his life be if he would have just learned to

How different would his life be if he would have just learned to hit the delete button?
00:11:30.713 --> 00:11:33.015
If he would have just learned to hit the delete button? instead of constantly playing
00:11:33.082 --> 00:11:34.183
Hit the delete button? instead of constantly playing the negative what if he would
00:11:34.250 --> 00:11:35.484
Instead of constantly playing the negative what if he would have gone around thinking, "i'm

The negative what if he would have gone around thinking, "i'm a masterpiece. i'm one of a

00:12:14.056 --> 00:12:16.358
Not only i am who god says i am but i can do what god says i can do. that means we know we've
00:12:16.425 --> 00:12:19.595
But i can do what god says i can do. that means we know we've been programmed for victory.
00:12:19.662 --> 00:12:22.231

Taking place in your mind. if you're defeated in your thoughts you've already lost.
00:12:49.859 --> 00:12:52.461
If you're defeated in your thoughts you've already lost. you've got to get rid of the
00:12:52.528 --> 00:12:54.063
Thoughts you've already lost. you've got to get rid of the viruses. if you will get back
00:12:54.129 --> 00:12:56.232
You've got to get rid of the viruses. if you will get back to your original software put

In you by your creator you'll go places that you've never dreamed.
00:13:00.502 --> 00:13:01.971
Go places that you've never dreamed. it's interesting how little
00:13:02.037 --> 00:13:03.505
Dreamed. it's interesting how little children start off so excited
00:13:03.572 --> 00:13:05.641
It's interesting how little children start off so excited about life. they've got big
00:13:05.708 --> 00:13:07.376
Children start off so excited about life. they've got big dreams. they're going to become

Dreams. they're going to become a scientist, an astronaut, a singer, a teacher, a ballplayer,
00:13:12.147 --> 00:13:14.216
A scientist, an astronaut, a singer, a teacher, a ballplayer, even the president. they're not
00:13:14.283 --> 00:13:15.885
Singer, a teacher, a ballplayer, even the president. they're not intimidated. they're not
00:13:15.951 --> 00:13:17.620
Even the president. they're not intimidated. they're not insecure. they believe they can
00:13:17.686 --> 00:13:19.355
Intimidated. they're not insecure. they believe they can do anything. it's because they
00:13:19.421 --> 00:13:22.091
Insecure. they believe they can do anything. it's because they just came from their creator.
00:13:22.157 --> 00:13:25.127
Do anything. it's because they just came from their creator. their thinking has not been
00:13:25.194 --> 00:13:26.729
Just came from their creator. their thinking has not been contaminated. they can still
00:13:26.795 --> 00:13:28.130
Their thinking has not been contaminated. they can still feel the seeds of greatness.
00:13:28.197 --> 00:13:31.066
Contaminated. they can still feel the seeds of greatness. but too often over time they
00:13:31.133 --> 00:13:32.801
Feel the seeds of greatness. but too often over time they start to get reprogrammed.
00:13:32.868 --> 00:13:34.603
But too often over time they start to get reprogrammed. somebody tells them what they
00:13:34.670 --> 00:13:35.838
Start to get reprogrammed. somebody tells them what they can't become, what they can't
00:13:35.905 --> 00:13:37.139
Somebody tells them what they can't become, what they can't do. little by little their
00:13:37.206 --> 00:13:39.508
Can't become, what they can't do. little by little their environment starts to squeeze
00:13:39.575 --> 00:13:41.243
Do. little by little their environment starts to squeeze them down. a coach, a teacher
00:13:41.310 --> 00:13:42.778
Environment starts to squeeze them down. a coach, a teacher says, "hey, you're not good
00:13:42.845 --> 00:13:44.613
Them down. a coach, a teacher says, "hey, you're not good enough. you too small."
00:13:44.680 --> 00:13:45.848
Says, "hey, you're not good enough. you too small." their self-esteem goes down.
00:13:45.915 --> 00:13:48.617
Enough. you too small." their self-esteem goes down. they see somebody more
00:13:48.684 --> 00:13:49.585
Their self-esteem goes down. they see somebody more attractive and they start to
00:13:49.652 --> 00:13:51.186
They see somebody more attractive and they start to feel inferior. all these things
00:13:51.253 --> 00:13:54.089
Attractive and they start to feel inferior. all these things begin to distort who they
00:13:54.156 --> 00:13:55.424
Feel inferior. all these things begin to distort who they really are. before long instead
00:13:55.491 --> 00:13:57.526
Begin to distort who they really are. before long instead of dreaming big and believing
00:13:57.593 --> 00:13:59.561
Really are. before long instead of dreaming big and believing possibility thoughts they
00:13:59.628 --> 00:14:01.797
Of dreaming big and believing possibility thoughts they think, "i'll never do anything
00:14:01.864 --> 00:14:03.565
Possibility thoughts they think, "i'll never do anything great. i'm not that talented.
00:14:03.632 --> 00:14:05.434
Think, "i'll never do anything great. i'm not that talented. i'm just average."
00:14:05.501 --> 00:14:07.469
Great. i'm not that talented. i'm just average." when we find ourselves stuck in
00:14:07.536 --> 00:14:09.038
I'm just average." when we find ourselves stuck in these ruts, not believing we can
00:14:09.104 --> 00:14:11.073
When we find ourselves stuck in these ruts, not believing we can rise any higher, we need to ask,
00:14:11.140 --> 00:14:13.208
These ruts, not believing we can rise any higher, we need to ask, "why do i think this way? who
00:14:13.275 --> 00:14:15.811
Rise any higher, we need to ask, "why do i think this way? who programmed me to think that i'm
00:14:15.878 --> 00:14:17.813
"why do i think this way? who programmed me to think that i'm average? who programmed me to
00:14:17.880 --> 00:14:20.249
Programmed me to think that i'm average? who programmed me to give up on my dreams? who
00:14:20.316 --> 00:14:22.217
Average? who programmed me to give up on my dreams? who programmed me to think i can't
00:14:22.284 --> 00:14:23.385
Give up on my dreams? who programmed me to think i can't lose this weight. i can't break
00:14:23.452 --> 00:14:25.120
Programmed me to think i can't lose this weight. i can't break this addiction. i've gone as
00:14:25.187 --> 00:14:26.722
Lose this weight. i can't break this addiction. i've gone as far as i can. where did those
00:14:26.789 --> 00:14:28.891
This addiction. i've gone as far as i can. where did those thoughts come from?"
00:14:28.958 --> 00:14:30.426
Far as i can. where did those thoughts come from?" could it be that you have
00:14:30.492 --> 00:14:33.395
Thoughts come from?" could it be that you have accepted a wrong mindset because
00:14:33.462 --> 00:14:35.064
Could it be that you have accepted a wrong mindset because of the environment you were
00:14:35.130 --> 00:14:36.799
Accepted a wrong mindset because of the environment you were raised in, the people that you
00:14:36.865 --> 00:14:38.701
Of the environment you were raised in, the people that you were around. just because it
00:14:38.767 --> 00:14:41.236
Raised in, the people that you were around. just because it seems normal to you doesn't
00:14:41.303 --> 00:14:43.105
Were around. just because it seems normal to you doesn't mean that it's necessarily
00:14:43.172 --> 00:14:44.506
Seems normal to you doesn't mean that it's necessarily normal. sometimes we learn to
00:14:44.573 --> 00:14:47.076
Mean that it's necessarily normal. sometimes we learn to function in our dysfunction.
00:14:47.142 --> 00:14:50.412
Normal. sometimes we learn to function in our dysfunction. maybe everybody you grew up with
00:14:50.479 --> 00:14:52.348
Function in our dysfunction. maybe everybody you grew up with was negative. well, you're not
00:14:52.414 --> 00:14:53.916
Maybe everybody you grew up with was negative. well, you're not supposed to be negative. that's

Was negative. well, you're not supposed to be negative. that's not normal.

Supposed to be negative. that's not normal. maybe your friends didn't have
00:14:56.819 --> 00:14:57.953
Not normal. maybe your friends didn't have big dreams. they didn't do
00:14:58.020 --> 00:14:59.154
Maybe your friends didn't have big dreams. they didn't do anything great in life. well,
00:14:59.221 --> 00:15:00.923
Big dreams. they didn't do anything great in life. well, that's not okay for you. that's
00:15:00.990 --> 00:15:02.257
Anything great in life. well, that's not okay for you. that's not normal. just because family
00:15:02.324 --> 00:15:04.626
That's not okay for you. that's not normal. just because family members had addictions, bad
00:15:04.693 --> 00:15:06.061
Not normal. just because family members had addictions, bad habits, don't make the mistake
00:15:06.128 --> 00:15:08.297
Members had addictions, bad habits, don't make the mistake of thinking that's okay for you
00:15:08.364 --> 00:15:10.766
Habits, don't make the mistake of thinking that's okay for you to live that way. those are
00:15:10.833 --> 00:15:12.401
Of thinking that's okay for you to live that way. those are viruses that have been passed
00:15:12.468 --> 00:15:14.403
To live that way. those are viruses that have been passed down that keep infiltrating our

Viruses that have been passed down that keep infiltrating our thinking. listen, god created

Healthy, positive, happy. you have greatness on the inside. now it starts by
00:15:28.851 --> 00:15:30.552
You have greatness on the inside. now it starts by reprogramming your thinking.
00:15:30.619 --> 00:15:33.989
Inside. now it starts by reprogramming your thinking. i saw a story about this dog, a
00:15:34.056 --> 00:15:36.191
Reprogramming your thinking. i saw a story about this dog, a german shepherd. she was
00:15:36.258 --> 00:15:38.027
I saw a story about this dog, a german shepherd. she was pregnant with puppies. one day
00:15:38.093 --> 00:15:39.461
German shepherd. she was pregnant with puppies. one day she was walking across the
00:15:39.528 --> 00:15:41.063
Pregnant with puppies. one day she was walking across the street and got hit by a car.
00:15:41.130 --> 00:15:43.732
She was walking across the street and got hit by a car. both of her back legs were
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:44.933
Street and got hit by a car. both of her back legs were broken. she was able to drag
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:46.802
Both of her back legs were broken. she was able to drag herself off the street and back
00:15:46.869 --> 00:15:48.604
Broken. she was able to drag herself off the street and back to her house. as the weeks went
00:15:48.670 --> 00:15:50.606
Herself off the street and back to her house. as the weeks went by she began to slowly recover.
00:15:50.672 --> 00:15:53.675
To her house. as the weeks went by she began to slowly recover. her legs finally healed. but
00:15:53.742 --> 00:15:55.544
By she began to slowly recover. her legs finally healed. but because they weren't properly
00:15:55.611 --> 00:15:57.312
Her legs finally healed. but because they weren't properly reset when she walked all she
00:15:57.379 --> 00:15:59.982
Because they weren't properly reset when she walked all she could do was drag her back
00:16:00.049 --> 00:16:02.384
Reset when she walked all she could do was drag her back legs. she couldn't walk
00:16:02.451 --> 00:16:03.986
Could do was drag her back legs. she couldn't walk properly. her joints had been
00:16:04.053 --> 00:16:05.654
Legs. she couldn't walk properly. her joints had been messed up. eventually she had
00:16:05.721 --> 00:16:08.090
Properly. her joints had been messed up. eventually she had her puppies. they seemed to be
00:16:08.157 --> 00:16:09.892
Messed up. eventually she had her puppies. they seemed to be healthy and whole but a few
00:16:09.958 --> 00:16:12.161
Her puppies. they seemed to be healthy and whole but a few weeks later when they started
00:16:12.227 --> 00:16:13.996
Healthy and whole but a few weeks later when they started walking, just like their
00:16:14.063 --> 00:16:15.998
Weeks later when they started walking, just like their mother, they dragged their
00:16:16.065 --> 00:16:17.599
Walking, just like their mother, they dragged their back legs. the owner was
00:16:17.666 --> 00:16:20.002
Mother, they dragged their back legs. the owner was amazed. he thought maybe they
00:16:20.069 --> 00:16:22.071
Back legs. the owner was amazed. he thought maybe they had been injured in the
00:16:22.137 --> 00:16:23.272
Amazed. he thought maybe they had been injured in the accident as well. he took them
00:16:23.338 --> 00:16:25.274

00:16:25.340 --> 00:16:26.542
Accident as well. he took them to the veterinarian to have them checked out. the doctor
00:16:26.608 --> 00:16:28.277
To the veterinarian to have them checked out. the doctor discovered there was nothing
00:16:28.343 --> 00:16:30.512
Them checked out. the doctor discovered there was nothing wrong with their back legs.
00:16:30.579 --> 00:16:32.848
Discovered there was nothing wrong with their back legs. they were perfectly healthy.
00:16:32.915 --> 00:16:34.516
Wrong with their back legs. they were perfectly healthy. those puppies were simply
00:16:34.583 --> 00:16:36.118
They were perfectly healthy. those puppies were simply copying their mother. that's
00:16:36.185 --> 00:16:37.920
Those puppies were simply copying their mother. that's all they had seen modeled.
00:16:37.986 --> 00:16:40.456
Copying their mother. that's all they had seen modeled. in their mind that's the way
00:16:40.522 --> 00:16:41.924
All they had seen modeled. in their mind that's the way they were supposed to walk.
00:16:41.990 --> 00:16:43.559
In their mind that's the way they were supposed to walk. that's what's happened to many
00:16:43.625 --> 00:16:45.394
They were supposed to walk. that's what's happened to many of us, what we saw modeled
00:16:45.461 --> 00:16:47.396
That's what's happened to many of us, what we saw modeled growing up. the people that
00:16:47.463 --> 00:16:49.031
Of us, what we saw modeled growing up. the people that raised us, they were good
00:16:49.098 --> 00:16:50.632
Growing up. the people that raised us, they were good people. they were doing their
00:16:50.699 --> 00:16:52.034
Raised us, they were good people. they were doing their best but in some way they were
00:16:52.101 --> 00:16:54.303
People. they were doing their best but in some way they were dragging their back legs.
00:16:54.369 --> 00:16:56.705
Best but in some way they were dragging their back legs. they were negative, discouraged.
00:16:56.772 --> 00:16:58.574
Dragging their back legs. they were negative, discouraged. now we live negative,
00:16:58.640 --> 00:16:59.775

00:17:01.443 --> 00:17:02.811
Discouraged. they had addictions, low self-esteem. now we struggle in those same
00:17:02.878 --> 00:17:04.847
Addictions, low self-esteem. now we struggle in those same areas. or maybe they made poor
00:17:04.913 --> 00:17:07.282
Now we struggle in those same areas. or maybe they made poor choices in relationships, got
00:17:07.349 --> 00:17:09.017
Areas. or maybe they made poor choices in relationships, got involved with the wrong people.
00:17:09.084 --> 00:17:11.153
Choices in relationships, got involved with the wrong people. now we're dealing with the same
00:17:11.220 --> 00:17:12.387
Involved with the wrong people. now we're dealing with the same issues. we saw them accept
