>> joyce: and so, like,
00:07:43.174 --> 00:07:43.842
>> joyce: and so, like, one of them was,
00:07:43.909 --> 00:07:44.509
>> joyce: and so, like, one of them was, "i can do all things through
00:07:44.576 --> 00:07:46.244
One of them was, "i can do all things through christ who strengthens me.
00:07:46.311 --> 00:07:47.579
"i can do all things through christ who strengthens me. i'm ready for anything
00:07:47.646 --> 00:07:49.614
Christ who strengthens me. i'm ready for anything that life brings my way."
00:07:49.681 --> 00:07:50.849
I'm ready for anything that life brings my way." now, if you said that 10,
00:07:50.916 --> 00:07:54.586
15 times a day,
00:07:54.653 --> 00:07:55.587
15 times a day, every day for 30 days,
00:07:55.654 --> 00:07:59.491
15 times a day, every day for 30 days, then you'd believe it.
00:07:59.558 --> 00:08:02.661
Every day for 30 days, then you'd believe it. you would believe.
00:08:02.727 --> 00:08:04.396
Then you'd believe it. you would believe. so then when a problem
00:08:04.462 --> 00:08:05.397
You would believe. so then when a problem came your way,
00:08:05.463 --> 00:08:06.131
So then when a problem came your way, you wouldn't be,
00:08:06.197 --> 00:08:06.932
Came your way, you wouldn't be, like, ready to cave in under it.
00:08:06.998 --> 00:08:08.867
You wouldn't be, like, ready to cave in under it. you would just,
00:08:08.934 --> 00:08:10.235
Like, ready to cave in under it. you would just, "i can handle this.
00:08:10.302 --> 00:08:11.136
You would just, "i can handle this. god's on my side."
00:08:11.202 --> 00:08:12.971
"i can handle this. god's on my side." so we just--
00:08:13.038 --> 00:08:14.539
God's on my side." so we just-- we hurry too much,
00:08:14.606 --> 00:08:15.674
So we just-- we hurry too much, and sometimes i think there's
00:08:15.740 --> 00:08:16.708
We hurry too much, and sometimes i think there's almost too much available
00:08:16.775 --> 00:08:18.009
And sometimes i think there's almost too much available to us that we end up not
00:08:18.076 --> 00:08:19.611
Almost too much available to us that we end up not really getting any of it.
00:08:19.678 --> 00:08:21.846
To us that we end up not really getting any of it. you know,
00:08:21.913 --> 00:08:22.480
Really getting any of it. you know, you can watch 10 different

Probably in the weekend. you watch television. you watch youtube.
00:08:35.560 --> 00:08:38.029
But the bible says
00:08:39.097 --> 00:08:39.798
But the bible says in mark 4 that
00:08:39.864 --> 00:08:40.832
But the bible says in mark 4 that "the measure of thought
00:08:40.899 --> 00:08:42.067
In mark 4 that "the measure of thought and study that you give
00:08:42.133 --> 00:08:43.835
"the measure of thought and study that you give to the truth that you hear
00:08:43.902 --> 00:08:45.937
And study that you give to the truth that you hear is the measure of virtue
00:08:46.004 --> 00:08:47.339
To the truth that you hear is the measure of virtue and knowledge that will

I want you to get that. the measure of thought and study that you give.
00:08:55.914 --> 00:09:01.353
The measure of thought and study that you give. you can't be victorious just
00:09:01.419 --> 00:09:03.121
And study that you give. you can't be victorious just by somebody spoon feeding you
00:09:03.188 --> 00:09:05.090
You can't be victorious just by somebody spoon feeding you the word of god all the time.
00:09:05.156 --> 00:09:09.594
By somebody spoon feeding you the word of god all the time. and i could stay here
00:09:09.661 --> 00:09:10.962
The word of god all the time. and i could stay here for a whole month
00:09:11.029 --> 00:09:11.763
And i could stay here for a whole month and just preach every day,
00:09:11.830 --> 00:09:12.831
For a whole month and just preach every day, and you could come every day

And just preach every day, and you could come every day and you would learn some things.

And you would learn some things. but if you didn't take those home and study them yourself
00:09:17.969 --> 00:09:20.572
But if you didn't take those home and study them yourself and meditate on them--
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:22.507
Home and study them yourself and meditate on them-- don't be the kind

And meditate on them-- don't be the kind of person that,
00:09:23.241 --> 00:09:23.808

And it's great when you
00:10:04.449 --> 00:10:05.150
And it's great when you do a series because then
00:10:05.216 --> 00:10:06.751
And it's great when you do a series because then people hear enough of it that
00:10:06.818 --> 00:10:10.355
Do a series because then people hear enough of it that it does a little more than just
00:10:10.422 --> 00:10:14.959
People hear enough of it that it does a little more than just kind of tickle their fancy.
00:10:15.026 --> 00:10:17.762
It does a little more than just kind of tickle their fancy. but if anything i say,
00:10:17.829 --> 00:10:19.364
Really, like,
00:10:19.431 --> 00:10:20.832
Really, like, "i need more of that,"
00:10:20.899 --> 00:10:22.434
Really, like, "i need more of that," then jot it down.
00:10:22.500 --> 00:10:24.402
"i need more of that," then jot it down. or if you don't have
00:10:24.469 --> 00:10:25.170
Then jot it down. or if you don't have anything to write with,
00:10:25.236 --> 00:10:26.905
Or if you don't have anything to write with, as soon as you get to a place
00:10:26.971 --> 00:10:28.106
Anything to write with, as soon as you get to a place where you can jot it down
00:10:28.173 --> 00:10:29.174
As soon as you get to a place where you can jot it down so you don't forget it,
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:30.141
Where you can jot it down so you don't forget it, and then you
00:10:30.208 --> 00:10:31.142
So you don't forget it, and then you do a bible study on that,
00:10:31.209 --> 00:10:34.079
And then you do a bible study on that, you dig out the scriptures.
00:10:34.145 --> 00:10:36.614
Do a bible study on that, you dig out the scriptures. and today you don't
00:10:36.681 --> 00:10:37.749
You dig out the scriptures. and today you don't even have to work.
00:10:37.816 --> 00:10:38.383
And today you don't even have to work. i mean, when i first
00:10:38.450 --> 00:10:39.150
Even have to work. i mean, when i first started this, i mean,
00:10:39.217 --> 00:10:40.952
I mean, when i first started this, i mean, to put together
00:10:41.019 --> 00:10:41.619
Started this, i mean, to put together a message was like,
00:10:41.686 --> 00:10:43.388
To put together a message was like, you had to have the strong's
00:10:43.455 --> 00:10:44.456
A message was like, you had to have the strong's and the vine's and the
00:10:44.522 --> 00:10:45.890
You had to have the strong's and the vine's and the webster's and the--
00:10:45.957 --> 00:10:47.792
And the vine's and the webster's and the-- you know, you're like buried
00:10:47.859 --> 00:10:50.328
Webster's and the-- you know, you're like buried in study books just trying
00:10:50.395 --> 00:10:51.596
You know, you're like buried in study books just trying to get one message.
00:10:51.663 --> 00:10:52.430
In study books just trying to get one message. well, now all you gotta do
00:10:52.497 --> 00:10:53.398
To get one message. well, now all you gotta do is go to the computer and say,
00:10:53.465 --> 00:10:55.400
Well, now all you gotta do is go to the computer and say, "give me all the scriptures
00:10:55.467 --> 00:10:57.302
Is go to the computer and say, "give me all the scriptures on..." whatever,
00:10:57.368 --> 00:10:58.369
"give me all the scriptures on..." whatever, and it'll just scroll
00:10:58.436 --> 00:10:59.704
On..." whatever, and it'll just scroll 'em right out for you.
00:10:59.771 --> 00:11:01.005
And it'll just scroll 'em right out for you. so it's even easier
00:11:01.072 --> 00:11:02.173
'em right out for you. so it's even easier today to learn.
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:03.675
So it's even easier today to learn. but god wants
00:11:03.742 --> 00:11:05.143
Today to learn. but god wants us to do something.
00:11:05.210 --> 00:11:07.312
But god wants us to do something. we are partners with god.

00:11:09.481 --> 00:11:10.982
We are partners with god. and i have seen that so clearly in my life.
00:11:11.049 --> 00:11:13.451
And i have seen that so clearly in my life. when we pray,
00:11:13.518 --> 00:11:14.919
So clearly in my life. when we pray, usually god gives
00:11:14.986 --> 00:11:16.121
When we pray, usually god gives us something to do.
00:11:16.187 --> 00:11:18.990
