>> victoria: thank you lord.
00:00:09.389 --> 00:00:10.890
>> victoria: thank you lord. you may be seated.
00:00:10.957 --> 00:00:12.192
You may be seated. we are so glad you're here
00:00:12.258 --> 00:00:13.259
We are so glad you're here today.
00:00:13.326 --> 00:00:15.662
Today. there was a study done at
00:00:15.728 --> 00:00:17.297
There was a study done at stanford university that said
00:00:17.363 --> 00:00:21.000
Stanford university that said that attitude is a better
00:00:21.067 --> 00:00:23.169
That attitude is a better predictor of success than iq.
00:00:23.236 --> 00:00:27.407
Predictor of success than iq. they related attitude
00:00:27.474 --> 00:00:29.008
They related attitude and success.
00:00:29.075 --> 00:00:30.944
You know, attitude really
00:00:31.144 --> 00:00:32.512
You know, attitude really starts with the way we think
00:00:32.579 --> 00:00:35.148
Starts with the way we think about something or someone.
00:00:35.215 --> 00:00:37.650
About something or someone. and that's how we developed
00:00:37.717 --> 00:00:39.786
And that's how we developed these attitudes.
00:00:39.853 --> 00:00:41.454
These attitudes. you see, it's interesting
00:00:41.521 --> 00:00:43.289
You see, it's interesting because when you think about
00:00:43.356 --> 00:00:44.991
Because when you think about something or someone the
00:00:45.058 --> 00:00:46.960
Something or someone the wrong way, you develop a bad
00:00:47.026 --> 00:00:49.896
Wrong way, you develop a bad attitude.
00:00:49.963 --> 00:00:51.197
Attitude. when you think about
00:00:51.264 --> 00:00:52.265
When you think about something or someone the
00:00:52.332 --> 00:00:53.967
Something or someone the right way, then you develop a
00:00:54.033 --> 00:00:56.603
Right way, then you develop a good attitude.
00:00:56.669 --> 00:00:58.538
Good attitude. so they were saying, "either
00:00:58.605 --> 00:01:00.140
So they were saying, "either you can have a bad attitude
00:01:00.206 --> 00:01:02.575
You can have a bad attitude and you lack success no
00:01:02.642 --> 00:01:04.144
And you lack success no matter how bright you are or
00:01:04.210 --> 00:01:06.012
Matter how bright you are or you can have a good attitude
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:07.647
You can have a good attitude even if you're not the
00:01:07.714 --> 00:01:09.082
Even if you're not the brightest person."
00:01:09.149 --> 00:01:10.817
Brightest person." that sounds pretty good to
00:01:10.884 --> 00:01:12.218
That sounds pretty good to me.
00:01:12.285 --> 00:01:12.919
Me. i'm all in.
00:01:12.986 --> 00:01:15.622
I'm all in. see the truth of the matter
00:01:15.688 --> 00:01:17.123
See the truth of the matter is, in the book of numbers,
00:01:17.190 --> 00:01:18.391
Is, in the book of numbers, there was two men who
00:01:18.458 --> 00:01:20.326
There was two men who displayed this exact study.
00:01:20.393 --> 00:01:23.329
Displayed this exact study. stanford just should've
00:01:23.396 --> 00:01:24.531
Stanford just should've studied joshua and caleb.
00:01:24.597 --> 00:01:26.733
Studied joshua and caleb. because these two guys were
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.736
Because these two guys were amazing in their attitude.
00:01:29.802 --> 00:01:31.871
Amazing in their attitude. now many of you know the
00:01:31.938 --> 00:01:32.872
Now many of you know the story.
00:01:32.939 --> 00:01:33.973
Story. moses took twelve leaders
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:36.576
Moses took twelve leaders from the tribes of israel and
00:01:36.643 --> 00:01:39.212
From the tribes of israel and he told them to go into this
00:01:39.279 --> 00:01:41.581
He told them to go into this land that god had already
00:01:41.648 --> 00:01:43.283
Land that god had already promised to give them and spy
00:01:43.349 --> 00:01:45.485
Promised to give them and spy the land out.
00:01:45.552 --> 00:01:46.719
The land out. he said, "go in.
00:01:46.786 --> 00:01:47.420
He said, "go in. check out the land.
00:01:47.487 --> 00:01:48.721
Check out the land. bring back some produce.
00:01:48.788 --> 00:01:50.723
Bring back some produce. bring back some of the
00:01:50.790 --> 00:01:51.724
Bring back some of the vegetation that's in the
00:01:51.791 --> 00:01:52.792
Vegetation that's in the land, so we can kind of have
00:01:52.859 --> 00:01:54.761
Land, so we can kind of have a glimpse of what--what's in
00:01:54.827 --> 00:01:55.762
A glimpse of what--what's in that land."
00:01:55.828 --> 00:01:57.330
That land." you know, and it talks about
00:01:57.397 --> 00:01:58.665
You know, and it talks about how they--grapes were in
00:01:58.731 --> 00:02:00.099
How they--grapes were in season and how they had to
00:02:00.166 --> 00:02:01.634
Season and how they had to carry a cluster of grapes
00:02:01.701 --> 00:02:03.236
Carry a cluster of grapes like on a long bar and it
00:02:03.303 --> 00:02:05.271
Like on a long bar and it took two men to get the
00:02:05.338 --> 00:02:07.040
Took two men to get the grapes back to the camp.
00:02:07.106 --> 00:02:08.675
Grapes back to the camp. listen, randall's doesn't
00:02:08.741 --> 00:02:10.476
Listen, randall's doesn't have grapes like that.
00:02:10.543 --> 00:02:12.078
Have grapes like that. they were big grapes.
00:02:12.145 --> 00:02:14.881
They were big grapes. the land was flourishing, but
00:02:14.948 --> 00:02:17.784
The land was flourishing, but also in that land they saw
00:02:17.850 --> 00:02:20.787
Also in that land they saw giants.
00:02:20.853 --> 00:02:22.121
Giants. all 12 of those spies came
00:02:22.188 --> 00:02:24.023
All 12 of those spies came back and they saw the same
00:02:24.090 --> 00:02:26.125
Back and they saw the same thing.
00:02:26.192 --> 00:02:27.393
Thing. and they said, "yes, the land
00:02:27.460 --> 00:02:29.062
And they said, "yes, the land is good."
00:02:29.128 --> 00:02:30.563
Is good." now, isn't it interesting
00:02:30.630 --> 00:02:31.698
Now, isn't it interesting about attitude.
00:02:31.764 --> 00:02:33.166
About attitude. we can all see the same
00:02:33.233 --> 00:02:34.267
We can all see the same thing, but we're going to
00:02:34.334 --> 00:02:36.102
Thing, but we're going to formulate our attitude by the
00:02:36.169 --> 00:02:38.538
Formulate our attitude by the way we think.
00:02:38.605 --> 00:02:39.772
Way we think. you see, how you think is
00:02:39.839 --> 00:02:42.542
You see, how you think is directly related to your
00:02:42.609 --> 00:02:44.944
Directly related to your report.
00:02:45.011 --> 00:02:46.279
Report. what's gonna come out of your
00:02:46.346 --> 00:02:47.180
What's gonna come out of your mouth.
00:02:47.247 --> 00:02:48.514
Mouth. the bible says that, you
00:02:48.581 --> 00:02:49.382
The bible says that, you know, "out of the heart the
00:02:49.449 --> 00:02:50.650
Know, "out of the heart the mouth speaks."
00:02:50.717 --> 00:02:51.818
Mouth speaks." that's why you can't hid a
00:02:51.884 --> 00:02:52.986
That's why you can't hid a bad attitude for long.
00:02:53.052 --> 00:02:54.787
Bad attitude for long. you can try to push it down,
00:02:54.854 --> 00:02:55.688
You can try to push it down, you can try to fake people
00:02:55.755 --> 00:02:56.990
You can try to fake people out, you can try to act like
00:02:57.056 --> 00:02:58.491
Out, you can try to act like you're enjoying somebody's
00:02:58.558 --> 00:02:59.692
You're enjoying somebody's conversation when you're
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:00.827
Conversation when you're thinking bad thoughts about
00:03:00.893 --> 00:03:01.794
Thinking bad thoughts about them the whole time.
00:03:01.861 --> 00:03:02.895
Them the whole time. but let me tell you
00:03:02.962 --> 00:03:03.396
But let me tell you something, eventually it's
00:03:03.463 --> 00:03:05.598
Something, eventually it's gonna show up.
00:03:05.665 --> 00:03:07.300
Gonna show up. it may not show up in that
00:03:07.367 --> 00:03:08.935
It may not show up in that person's conversation but i
00:03:09.002 --> 00:03:10.536
Person's conversation but i guarantee you it's gonna show
00:03:10.603 --> 00:03:12.238
Guarantee you it's gonna show up somewhere else in your
00:03:12.305 --> 00:03:13.339
Up somewhere else in your life, because bad attitudes
00:03:13.406 --> 00:03:16.209
Life, because bad attitudes spread.
00:03:16.276 --> 00:03:17.577
Spread. they have legs.
00:03:17.644 --> 00:03:19.145
They have legs. they are transferred into
00:03:19.212 --> 00:03:21.514
They are transferred into other areas of our lives.
00:03:21.581 --> 00:03:22.982
Other areas of our lives. so, back to my story--they
00:03:23.049 --> 00:03:24.484
So, back to my story--they all saw that the land was
00:03:24.550 --> 00:03:26.719
All saw that the land was filled with beautiful
00:03:26.786 --> 00:03:28.321
Filled with beautiful vegetation, great soil, but
00:03:28.388 --> 00:03:30.757
Vegetation, great soil, but it also had giants.
00:03:30.823 --> 00:03:33.593
It also had giants. it also had some strong
00:03:33.660 --> 00:03:35.128
It also had some strong people in the land.
00:03:35.194 --> 00:03:36.796
People in the land. so, ten of those leaders came
00:03:36.863 --> 00:03:39.932
So, ten of those leaders came back and they reported that,
00:03:39.999 --> 00:03:42.168
Back and they reported that, "the land is good.
00:03:42.235 --> 00:03:43.503
"the land is good. we agree on that, but the way
00:03:43.569 --> 00:03:45.772
We agree on that, but the way we see it, we see it with
00:03:45.838 --> 00:03:47.807
We see it, we see it with giants.
00:03:47.874 --> 00:03:49.008
Giants. we see it with walled cities.
00:03:49.075 --> 00:03:51.477
We see it with walled cities. we see those people way
00:03:51.544 --> 00:03:53.546
We see those people way bigger than us.
00:03:53.613 --> 00:03:54.947
Bigger than us. in fact, we are small in
00:03:55.014 --> 00:03:56.783
In fact, we are small in comparison to them."
00:03:56.849 --> 00:03:58.184
Comparison to them." they actually describe
00:03:58.251 --> 00:03:59.385
They actually describe themselves as grasshoppers.
00:03:59.452 --> 00:04:01.788
Themselves as grasshoppers. about that time, joshua and
00:04:01.854 --> 00:04:04.557
About that time, joshua and caleb, they were like, "shh,
00:04:04.624 --> 00:04:07.126
Caleb, they were like, "shh, shh."
00:04:07.193 --> 00:04:08.061
Shh." the scripture describes them
00:04:08.127 --> 00:04:09.062
The scripture describes them as trying to hush the bad
00:04:09.128 --> 00:04:11.197
As trying to hush the bad report.
00:04:11.264 --> 00:04:12.265
Report. you see, they were of a
00:04:12.332 --> 00:04:14.367
You see, they were of a different spirit, the bible
00:04:14.434 --> 00:04:15.768
Different spirit, the bible describes them.
00:04:15.835 --> 00:04:17.070
Describes them. of a different attitude.
00:04:17.136 --> 00:04:19.272
Of a different attitude. they were different than the
00:04:19.339 --> 00:04:20.973
They were different than the rest of 'em.
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:22.275
Rest of 'em. you see, they didn't see the
00:04:22.342 --> 00:04:25.445
You see, they didn't see the impossibilities, they saw the
00:04:25.511 --> 00:04:28.281
Impossibilities, they saw the beautiful land.
00:04:28.348 --> 00:04:29.682
Beautiful land. but when they saw the giants,
00:04:29.749 --> 00:04:31.284
But when they saw the giants, you know what they saw?
00:04:31.351 --> 00:04:32.485
You know what they saw? they saw an opportunity for
00:04:32.552 --> 00:04:35.555
They saw an opportunity for god to work in their life.
00:04:35.621 --> 00:04:37.924
God to work in their life. they saw an opportunity for
00:04:37.990 --> 00:04:39.726
They saw an opportunity for them to trust god for what he
00:04:39.792 --> 00:04:41.127
Them to trust god for what he had spoken in their life.
00:04:41.194 --> 00:04:43.196
Had spoken in their life. they saw an opportunity to
00:04:43.262 --> 00:04:45.798
They saw an opportunity to possess a promise and let god
00:04:45.865 --> 00:04:47.600
Possess a promise and let god fight their battles for them.
00:04:47.667 --> 00:04:49.335
Fight their battles for them. you see, they tried to hush
00:04:49.402 --> 00:04:51.337
You see, they tried to hush that bad report.
00:04:51.404 --> 00:04:52.939
That bad report. have you ever thought in your
00:04:53.005 --> 00:04:55.108
Have you ever thought in your minds, you know, you had this
00:04:55.174 --> 00:04:56.242
Minds, you know, you had this idea and you're excited about
00:04:56.309 --> 00:04:57.877
Idea and you're excited about what god want to do in your
00:04:57.944 --> 00:04:58.878
What god want to do in your life?
00:04:58.945 --> 00:04:59.812
Life? maybe it's a promotion.
00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:01.914
Maybe it's a promotion. maybe, you know, you're
00:05:01.981 --> 00:05:03.216
Maybe, you know, you're really gonna believe this is
00:05:03.282 --> 00:05:04.350
Really gonna believe this is the relationship for you.
00:05:04.417 --> 00:05:05.852
The relationship for you. it's gonna work out.
00:05:05.918 --> 00:05:07.253
It's gonna work out. there's some things that
00:05:07.320 --> 00:05:07.954
There's some things that you're really believing for
00:05:08.020 --> 00:05:09.088
You're really believing for are gonna happen in your life
00:05:09.155 --> 00:05:09.922
Are gonna happen in your life and it looks good.
00:05:09.989 --> 00:05:11.791
But then all of a sudden
00:05:11.991 --> 00:05:13.159
But then all of a sudden those negative voices start
00:05:13.226 --> 00:05:14.994
Those negative voices start telling you why it's not good
00:05:15.061 --> 00:05:16.863
Telling you why it's not good and how it's never gonna
00:05:16.929 --> 00:05:18.765
And how it's never gonna happen.
00:05:18.831 --> 00:05:19.999
Happen. can i tell you?
00:05:20.066 --> 00:05:21.467
Can i tell you? you gotta be like joshua and
00:05:21.534 --> 00:05:22.935
You gotta be like joshua and caleb and you gotta hush
00:05:23.002 --> 00:05:24.370
Caleb and you gotta hush those voices.
00:05:24.437 --> 00:05:26.038
Those voices. you gotta shut 'em down.
00:05:26.105 --> 00:05:27.373
You gotta shut 'em down. you gotta say, "no.
00:05:27.440 --> 00:05:29.442
You gotta say, "no. i'm not gonna listen to you."
00:05:29.509 --> 00:05:31.511
I'm not gonna listen to you." i truly believe moses was
00:05:31.577 --> 00:05:34.414
I truly believe moses was under the impression that
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:35.481
Under the impression that when they came back they were
00:05:35.548 --> 00:05:37.049
When they came back they were gonna bring a good report.
00:05:37.116 --> 00:05:38.684
Gonna bring a good report. they were gonna encourage the
00:05:38.751 --> 00:05:39.619
They were gonna encourage the camp.
00:05:39.685 --> 00:05:40.586
Camp. they were gonna bring those
00:05:40.653 --> 00:05:41.454
They were gonna bring those grapes.
00:05:41.521 --> 00:05:42.188
Grapes. they were gonna go, "yeah,
00:05:42.255 --> 00:05:43.189
They were gonna go, "yeah, we're gonna go get those
00:05:43.256 --> 00:05:43.723
We're gonna go get those grapes.
00:05:43.790 --> 00:05:44.223
Grapes. we're hungry.
00:05:44.290 --> 00:05:44.924
We're hungry. we hadn't had any grapes
00:05:44.991 --> 00:05:45.892
We hadn't had any grapes lately."
00:05:45.958 --> 00:05:47.827
But it didn't because of the
00:05:48.161 --> 00:05:52.231
But it didn't because of the bad report the leaders
00:05:52.298 --> 00:05:54.267
Bad report the leaders brought.
00:05:54.333 --> 00:05:55.835
Brought. they couldn't hush a bad
00:05:55.902 --> 00:05:58.404
They couldn't hush a bad report.
00:05:58.471 --> 00:05:59.772
Report. you know what that tells me
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:00.573
You know what that tells me today?
00:06:00.640 --> 00:06:01.307
Today? that tells me that we gotta
00:06:01.374 --> 00:06:02.642
That tells me that we gotta drive out negative voices.
00:06:02.708 --> 00:06:05.478
Drive out negative voices. we can't be negative talkers.
00:06:05.545 --> 00:06:07.480
We can't be negative talkers. we can't transfer negative
00:06:07.547 --> 00:06:09.682
We can't transfer negative reports to our family.
00:06:09.749 --> 00:06:11.350
Reports to our family. we can't transmit fear to our
00:06:11.417 --> 00:06:13.486
We can't transmit fear to our children.
00:06:13.553 --> 00:06:14.587
Children. we can't discipline them from
00:06:14.654 --> 00:06:16.155
We can't discipline them from our place of fear.
00:06:16.222 --> 00:06:17.924
Our place of fear. listen, we want to build
00:06:17.990 --> 00:06:19.392
Listen, we want to build faith.
00:06:19.459 --> 00:06:20.159
Faith. we want to be like joshua and
00:06:20.226 --> 00:06:21.461
We want to be like joshua and caleb.
00:06:21.527 --> 00:06:24.096
Caleb. whenever you're blaming
00:06:24.163 --> 00:06:26.199
Whenever you're blaming someone notice this.
00:06:26.265 --> 00:06:28.501
Someone notice this. and this is what the bible
00:06:28.568 --> 00:06:29.101
And this is what the bible tells us they did.
00:06:29.168 --> 00:06:30.303
Tells us they did. they literally were so
00:06:30.369 --> 00:06:32.572
They literally were so discouraged with this bad
00:06:32.638 --> 00:06:33.573
Discouraged with this bad report that they began to cry
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:35.708
Report that they began to cry out and blame moses and aaron
00:06:35.775 --> 00:06:39.612
Out and blame moses and aaron for all the trouble.
00:06:39.679 --> 00:06:41.914
For all the trouble. see, they couldn't even see
00:06:41.981 --> 00:06:43.015
See, they couldn't even see the miracles and the good
00:06:43.082 --> 00:06:44.383
The miracles and the good things, for the fact they
00:06:44.450 --> 00:06:45.852
Things, for the fact they were so focused on all their
00:06:45.918 --> 00:06:47.687
Were so focused on all their trouble; all the bad report.
00:06:47.753 --> 00:06:49.555
Trouble; all the bad report. so they began to blame and
00:06:49.622 --> 00:06:50.957
So they began to blame and point the finger.
00:06:51.023 --> 00:06:51.858
Point the finger. don't you know that was a bad
00:06:51.924 --> 00:06:53.726
Don't you know that was a bad day?
00:06:53.793 --> 00:06:54.760
Day? it was a bad day.
00:06:54.827 --> 00:06:57.363
It was a bad day. i'm sure that there was
00:06:57.430 --> 00:06:58.297
I'm sure that there was disputes among those people
00:06:58.364 --> 00:06:59.765
Disputes among those people that didn't even have to be
00:06:59.832 --> 00:07:01.100
That didn't even have to be there because they were
00:07:01.167 --> 00:07:01.934
There because they were in--they were so negative.
00:07:02.001 --> 00:07:03.569
In--they were so negative. they were such a bad mood.
00:07:03.636 --> 00:07:04.770
They were such a bad mood. they couldn't see anything.
00:07:04.837 --> 00:07:06.606
They couldn't see anything. have you ever been around bad
00:07:06.672 --> 00:07:07.707
Have you ever been around bad people in bad moods?
00:07:07.773 --> 00:07:09.575
People in bad moods? well that whole camp was in a
00:07:09.642 --> 00:07:10.676
Well that whole camp was in a bad mood.
00:07:10.743 --> 00:07:12.512
Bad mood. and you know what happened?
00:07:12.578 --> 00:07:14.447
They stayed there for 40
00:07:14.647 --> 00:07:17.450
They stayed there for 40 years total.
00:07:17.517 --> 00:07:19.285
Years total. they complained and the
00:07:19.352 --> 00:07:20.219
They complained and the remained for 40 years.
00:07:20.286 --> 00:07:22.922
Remained for 40 years. and that's what a negative
00:07:22.989 --> 00:07:24.056
And that's what a negative attitude does.
00:07:24.123 --> 00:07:25.992
That's what complaining and
00:07:26.192 --> 00:07:26.692
That's what complaining and griping and grumbling does.
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:28.995
Griping and grumbling does. so, i would--if you find
00:07:29.061 --> 00:07:30.463
So, i would--if you find yourself in a place where
00:07:30.530 --> 00:07:31.697
Yourself in a place where you're trying to lay blame, i
00:07:31.764 --> 00:07:33.900
You're trying to lay blame, i want to encourage you to
00:07:33.966 --> 00:07:35.334
Want to encourage you to check your attitude.
00:07:35.401 --> 00:07:38.538
Check your attitude. if it's someone else's fault
00:07:38.604 --> 00:07:39.872
If it's someone else's fault you need to check your
00:07:39.939 --> 00:07:41.073
You need to check your attitude, because this is my
00:07:41.140 --> 00:07:43.509
Attitude, because this is my point today: joshua and caleb
00:07:43.576 --> 00:07:45.945
Point today: joshua and caleb had a different spirit.
00:07:46.012 --> 00:07:47.980
Had a different spirit. they had an excellent spirit,
00:07:48.047 --> 00:07:49.815
They had an excellent spirit, an excellent attitude.
00:07:49.882 --> 00:07:51.217
An excellent attitude. they were at the same place
00:07:51.284 --> 00:07:52.485
They were at the same place the other ten men where, but
00:07:52.552 --> 00:07:54.086
The other ten men where, but they weren't gonna drop to
00:07:54.153 --> 00:07:55.721
They weren't gonna drop to the depths of the negative
00:07:55.788 --> 00:07:57.790
The depths of the negative situation.
00:07:57.857 --> 00:07:58.624
Situation. they weren't gonna allow
00:07:58.691 --> 00:07:59.859
They weren't gonna allow their faith to be destroyed.
00:07:59.926 --> 00:08:02.128
Their faith to be destroyed. and you know, as a result of
00:08:02.194 --> 00:08:04.163
And you know, as a result of that they actually thrived in
00:08:04.230 --> 00:08:08.067
That they actually thrived in the wilderness when everyone
00:08:08.134 --> 00:08:09.735
The wilderness when everyone else died in the wilderness.
00:08:09.802 --> 00:08:12.605
Else died in the wilderness. because they were different.
00:08:12.672 --> 00:08:14.240
Because they were different. and god has called you and i
00:08:14.307 --> 00:08:16.509
And god has called you and i to be different; of an
00:08:16.576 --> 00:08:18.010
To be different; of an excellent spirit.

Interesting about this good attitude that they had?
00:08:56.616 --> 00:08:58.517
Attitude that they had? the bible said that when they
00:08:58.584 --> 00:08:59.852
The bible said that when they went into the promised land,
00:08:59.919 --> 00:09:01.621
Went into the promised land, joshua and caleb, and took
00:09:01.687 --> 00:09:03.322
Joshua and caleb, and took the next generation, they
00:09:03.389 --> 00:09:04.991
The next generation, they said to the lord, "we feel
00:09:05.057 --> 00:09:06.826
Said to the lord, "we feel better than we ever have.
00:09:06.892 --> 00:09:08.294
Better than we ever have. we feel stronger than we ever
00:09:08.361 --> 00:09:09.862
We feel stronger than we ever have and we're ready to take

Have and we're ready to take this land."
00:09:12.164 --> 00:09:13.299
This land." you see, they were ready to
00:09:13.366 --> 00:09:15.368
You see, they were ready to take the land back then.
00:09:15.434 --> 00:09:16.669
Take the land back then. their report was, "we can

Their report was, "we can certainly take this land."
00:09:19.171 --> 00:09:22.675
Certainly take this land." and that's how we have to be.
00:09:22.742 --> 00:09:24.610
We have to be of a report,
00:09:24.877 --> 00:09:26.646
We have to be of a report, "we can certainly do this.
00:09:26.712 --> 00:09:28.514
"we can certainly do this. we can certainly fight
00:09:28.581 --> 00:09:29.882
We can certainly fight through this because god is
00:09:29.949 --> 00:09:31.317

Battles for us." if we'll just stay in an
00:09:33.819 --> 00:09:35.721
If we'll just stay in an attitude of faith and trust
00:09:35.788 --> 00:09:37.556
Attitude of faith and trust god can do it.
00:09:37.623 --> 00:09:39.325
