  • Thoughts, but we can think the thoughts of heaven.
  • 00:00:27.407 --> 00:00:28.675
  • The thoughts of heaven. we can literally think the
  • 00:00:28.741 --> 00:00:30.143
  • We can literally think the thoughts of our champion,
  • 00:00:30.210 --> 00:00:32.479
  • Thoughts of our champion, jesus christ.
  • 00:00:32.545 --> 00:00:33.880
  • Jesus christ. he says that we are more
  • 00:00:33.947 --> 00:00:35.482

  • 00:00:35.548 --> 00:00:36.816
  • Than conquerors through christ jesus.

  • Through christ jesus. you know what, when i think
  • 00:00:39.986 --> 00:00:40.820
  • You know what, when i think of a conqueror, you know
  • 00:00:40.887 --> 00:00:42.288
  • Of a conqueror, you know what i think of?
  • 00:00:42.355 --> 00:00:42.989
  • What i think of? i just picture this ring with
  • 00:00:43.056 --> 00:00:45.758
  • I just picture this ring with two boxers in there.
  • 00:00:45.825 --> 00:00:47.460
  • Two boxers in there. and i think about these
  • 00:00:47.527 --> 00:00:48.294
  • And i think about these boxers, and how they have
  • 00:00:48.361 --> 00:00:49.295
  • Boxers, and how they have those big ol' boxing gloves
  • 00:00:49.362 --> 00:00:50.463
  • Those big ol' boxing gloves on and they smack each other
  • 00:00:50.530 --> 00:00:52.232
  • On and they smack each other in the face.
  • 00:00:52.298 --> 00:00:52.899
  • In the face. and you know what,
  • 00:00:52.966 --> 00:00:53.933
  • And you know what, they don't fall down.
  • 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:55.468
  • They don't fall down. they keep on at it, they keep
  • 00:00:55.535 --> 00:00:56.903
  • They keep on at it, they keep at it, they keep at it,
  • 00:00:56.970 --> 00:00:58.571
  • At it, they keep at it, because they're champions.
  • 00:00:58.638 --> 00:01:00.540
  • Because they're champions. they don't go into that ring
  • 00:01:00.607 --> 00:01:02.008
  • They don't go into that ring thinking they're anything
  • 00:01:02.075 --> 00:01:03.309
  • Thinking they're anything less but a champion.
  • 00:01:03.376 --> 00:01:05.345
  • Less but a champion. now, if they get knocked
  • 00:01:05.411 --> 00:01:06.646
  • Now, if they get knocked down, have you ever
  • 00:01:06.713 --> 00:01:07.514
  • Down, have you ever watched 'em?
  • 00:01:07.580 --> 00:01:08.181
  • Watched 'em? they bounce back up.
  • 00:01:08.248 --> 00:01:09.883
  • They bounce back up. see, champions have bounce
  • 00:01:09.949 --> 00:01:11.684
  • See, champions have bounce back in 'em, and god has
  • 00:01:11.751 --> 00:01:13.753
  • Back in 'em, and god has called you a champion in
  • 00:01:13.820 --> 00:01:15.822
  • Called you a champion in jesus christ.
  • 00:01:15.889 --> 00:01:17.557
  • Jesus christ. god has said you have bounce
  • 00:01:17.624 --> 00:01:19.225
  • God has said you have bounce back, but how do we keep this
  • 00:01:19.292 --> 00:01:22.495
  • Back, but how do we keep this mental bounce back?
  • 00:01:22.562 --> 00:01:24.731
  • Mental bounce back? how do we keep this emotional
  • 00:01:24.797 --> 00:01:26.699
  • How do we keep this emotional bank account full?
  • 00:01:26.766 --> 00:01:28.635
  • Bank account full? you see, just like you keep
  • 00:01:28.701 --> 00:01:29.969
  • You see, just like you keep money in your bank, you
  • 00:01:30.036 --> 00:01:31.471
  • Money in your bank, you wouldn't think about writing
  • 00:01:31.538 --> 00:01:32.505
  • Wouldn't think about writing a check not having any money
  • 00:01:32.572 --> 00:01:35.108
  • A check not having any money in your bank, so you work to
  • 00:01:35.175 --> 00:01:36.676
  • In your bank, so you work to keep money in your bank.
  • 00:01:36.743 --> 00:01:38.011
  • Keep money in your bank. you check your bank account.
  • 00:01:38.077 --> 00:01:39.379
  • You check your bank account. you make sure it's gonna
  • 00:01:39.445 --> 00:01:40.180
  • You make sure it's gonna cover your life, cover your
  • 00:01:40.246 --> 00:01:41.915
  • Cover your life, cover your bills, cover your children.
  • 00:01:41.981 --> 00:01:43.116
  • Bills, cover your children. well, we have to do the exact
  • 00:01:43.183 --> 00:01:45.118
  • Well, we have to do the exact same thing with our emotional
  • 00:01:45.185 --> 00:01:47.020
  • Same thing with our emotional bank account.
  • 00:01:47.086 --> 00:01:48.321
  • Bank account. we have to make sure
  • 00:01:48.388 --> 00:01:49.622
  • We have to make sure we're covered.
  • 00:01:49.689 --> 00:01:50.823
  • We're covered. we have to make sure
  • 00:01:50.890 --> 00:01:51.724
  • We have to make sure we're strong.
  • 00:01:51.791 --> 00:01:53.259
  • We're strong. see, i think about those
  • 00:01:53.326 --> 00:01:54.194
  • See, i think about those boxers, and you know
  • 00:01:54.260 --> 00:01:55.061
  • Boxers, and you know what they have?
  • 00:01:55.128 --> 00:01:56.062
  • What they have? they have mental toughness.
  • 00:01:56.129 --> 00:01:58.031
  • They have mental toughness. they have mental toughness.
  • 00:01:58.097 --> 00:02:00.767
  • They have mental toughness. they don't go in that ring,
  • 00:02:00.833 --> 00:02:01.834
  • They don't go in that ring, as soon as they get hit,
  • 00:02:01.901 --> 00:02:02.802
  • As soon as they get hit, they think, "oh, that's it.
  • 00:02:02.869 --> 00:02:03.703
  • They think, "oh, that's it. i'm out.
  • 00:02:03.770 --> 00:02:04.470
  • I'm out. i'm done."
  • 00:02:04.537 --> 00:02:05.138
  • I'm done." no, they have prepared
  • 00:02:05.205 --> 00:02:08.007
  • No, they have prepared their minds.
  • 00:02:08.074 --> 00:02:09.275
  • Their minds. they have got themself in a
  • 00:02:09.342 --> 00:02:10.877
  • They have got themself in a place where they know they
  • 00:02:10.944 --> 00:02:12.245
  • Place where they know they are champions.
  • 00:02:12.312 --> 00:02:13.746
  • Are champions. and i believe too often,
  • 00:02:13.813 --> 00:02:15.048
  • And i believe too often, we're allowing ourself to
  • 00:02:15.114 --> 00:02:16.950
  • We're allowing ourself to sink below who we really are,
  • 00:02:17.016 --> 00:02:19.352
  • Sink below who we really are, to not meet that standard of
  • 00:02:19.419 --> 00:02:21.020
  • To not meet that standard of a champion.
  • 00:02:21.087 --> 00:02:22.121
  • A champion. now, listen, god gave his
  • 00:02:22.188 --> 00:02:23.189
  • Now, listen, god gave his life for us through jesus
  • 00:02:23.256 --> 00:02:24.991
  • Life for us through jesus christ.
  • 00:02:25.058 --> 00:02:25.658
  • Christ. he gave his son, so we have
  • 00:02:25.725 --> 00:02:27.560
  • He gave his son, so we have to attach ourself to that
  • 00:02:27.627 --> 00:02:29.596
  • To attach ourself to that champion mentality.
  • 00:02:29.662 --> 00:02:32.065
  • Champion mentality. the bible says we are to have
  • 00:02:32.131 --> 00:02:33.933
  • The bible says we are to have the mind of christ jesus, so
  • 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.869
  • The mind of christ jesus, so we're supposed to attach our
  • 00:02:36.936 --> 00:02:38.304
  • We're supposed to attach our mind to the mind of christ.
  • 00:02:38.371 --> 00:02:40.873
  • Mind to the mind of christ. what is god saying about you
  • 00:02:40.940 --> 00:02:42.242
  • What is god saying about you today?
  • 00:02:42.308 --> 00:02:43.476
  • Today? you need to take inventory
  • 00:02:43.543 --> 00:02:45.178
  • You need to take inventory about what are you thinking
  • 00:02:45.245 --> 00:02:46.212
  • About what are you thinking about yourself.
  • 00:02:46.279 --> 00:02:47.580
  • About yourself. are you thinking
  • 00:02:47.647 --> 00:02:48.281
  • Are you thinking champion thoughts?
  • 00:02:48.348 --> 00:02:49.616
  • Champion thoughts? are you thinking weak
  • 00:02:49.682 --> 00:02:50.984
  • Are you thinking weak and defeated thoughts?
  • 00:02:51.050 --> 00:02:52.952
  • And defeated thoughts? you know, just like when you
  • 00:02:53.019 --> 00:02:53.953
  • You know, just like when you have your car full of gas, it
  • 00:02:54.020 --> 00:02:55.321
  • Have your car full of gas, it runs beautifully, but when
  • 00:02:55.388 --> 00:02:57.223
  • Runs beautifully, but when you start to get run and it
  • 00:02:57.290 --> 00:02:58.791
  • You start to get run and it starts to run out of gas,
  • 00:02:58.858 --> 00:03:00.093
  • Starts to run out of gas, it starts spittering and
  • 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:01.261
  • It starts spittering and spattering, and you think,
  • 00:03:01.327 --> 00:03:02.428
  • Spattering, and you think, "what is going on?"
  • 00:03:02.495 --> 00:03:04.430
  • "what is going on?" you check the gas tank
  • 00:03:04.497 --> 00:03:05.565
  • You check the gas tank and you think,
  • 00:03:05.632 --> 00:03:06.432
  • And you think, "i've run out of gas."
  • 00:03:06.499 --> 00:03:07.233
  • "i've run out of gas." see, we too have indicators
  • 00:03:07.300 --> 00:03:12.038
  • See, we too have indicators of when our emotional bank
  • 00:03:12.105 --> 00:03:14.707
  • Of when our emotional bank accounts are low, and that is
  • 00:03:14.774 --> 00:03:17.043
  • Accounts are low, and that is we get frustrated, we get
  • 00:03:17.110 --> 00:03:18.978
  • We get frustrated, we get upset, everything seems hard.
  • 00:03:19.045 --> 00:03:21.547
  • Upset, everything seems hard. it seems like it's never
  • 00:03:21.614 --> 00:03:22.815
  • It seems like it's never gonna change, it's always
  • 00:03:22.882 --> 00:03:24.050
  • Gonna change, it's always impossible.
  • 00:03:24.117 --> 00:03:25.485
  • Impossible. we don't enjoy the gifts that
  • 00:03:25.551 --> 00:03:27.387
  • We don't enjoy the gifts that god has given us because
  • 00:03:27.453 --> 00:03:29.355
  • God has given us because we're overwhelmed.
  • 00:03:29.422 --> 00:03:31.791
  • We're overwhelmed. that is how you can check
  • 00:03:31.858 --> 00:03:33.326
  • That is how you can check your emotional bank account
  • 00:03:33.393 --> 00:03:34.727
  • Your emotional bank account right there.
  • 00:03:34.794 --> 00:03:35.762
  • Right there. are you enjoying the life
  • 00:03:35.828 --> 00:03:37.797
  • Are you enjoying the life that god gave you?
  • 00:03:37.864 --> 00:03:39.165
  • That god gave you? are you acting like
  • 00:03:39.232 --> 00:03:40.233
  • Are you acting like a champion?
  • 00:03:40.300 --> 00:03:41.434
  • A champion? are you overcoming
  • 00:03:41.501 --> 00:03:42.635
  • Are you overcoming the punches of life?
  • 00:03:42.702 --> 00:03:44.404
  • The punches of life? because the truth of
  • 00:03:44.470 --> 00:03:45.271
  • Because the truth of the matter is, life is a lot
  • 00:03:45.338 --> 00:03:46.806
  • The matter is, life is a lot like that boxer in a ring.
  • 00:03:46.873 --> 00:03:48.141
  • Like that boxer in a ring. you're gonna get knocked out
  • 00:03:48.207 --> 00:03:49.542

  • And refocus. see, we go at 1,000 miles
  • 00:11:21.794 --> 00:11:24.363
