- 00:04:18.314 --> 00:04:19.582
- That can explain to you what the word means. but nothing is more
- 00:04:19.649 --> 00:04:21.584
- What the word means. but nothing is more important to a believer
- 00:04:21.651 --> 00:04:23.619
- But nothing is more important to a believer than the word of god.
- 00:04:23.686 --> 00:04:25.955
- Important to a believer than the word of god. it's not something that
- 00:04:26.022 --> 00:04:26.889
- Than the word of god. it's not something that you can ignore.
- 00:04:26.956 --> 00:04:28.424
- It's not something that you can ignore. the mind has to be renewed
- 00:04:28.491 --> 00:04:30.960
- You can ignore. the mind has to be renewed in order for us to experience
- 00:04:31.027 --> 00:04:32.962
- The mind has to be renewed in order for us to experience the good plan that
- 00:04:33.029 --> 00:04:33.963
- In order for us to experience the good plan that god has for our life.
- 00:04:34.030 --> 00:04:36.165
- The good plan that god has for our life. no matter what you have,
- 00:04:36.232 --> 00:04:37.300
- God has for our life. no matter what you have, if you don't know you have it,
- 00:04:37.367 --> 00:04:39.969
- No matter what you have, if you don't know you have it, then it's not gonna
- 00:04:40.036 --> 00:04:40.670
- If you don't know you have it, then it's not gonna do you any good.
- 00:04:40.737 --> 00:04:42.171
- Then it's not gonna do you any good. somebody could have
- 00:04:42.238 --> 00:04:43.005
- Do you any good. somebody could have an inheritance of a million
- 00:04:43.072 --> 00:04:44.140
- Somebody could have an inheritance of a million dollars but if they don't
- 00:04:44.207 --> 00:04:45.041
- An inheritance of a million dollars but if they don't know they have it,
- 00:04:45.108 --> 00:04:45.675
- Dollars but if they don't know they have it, they can live in poverty.
- 00:04:45.742 --> 00:04:48.778
- Know they have it, they can live in poverty. amen?
- 00:04:48.845 --> 00:04:50.380
- They can live in poverty. amen? and so, believing--
- 00:04:50.446 --> 00:04:52.782
- Amen? and so, believing-- you know, i've been thinking
- 00:04:52.849 --> 00:04:53.816
- And so, believing-- you know, i've been thinking about how wonderful
- 00:04:53.883 --> 00:04:54.317
- You know, i've been thinking about how wonderful it is that we can believe.
- 00:04:54.384 --> 00:04:58.321
- About how wonderful it is that we can believe. you know, you should thank
- 00:04:58.388 --> 00:04:59.122
- It is that we can believe. you know, you should thank god every day for the faith
- 00:04:59.188 --> 00:05:00.623
- You know, you should thank god every day for the faith that he's given you.
- 00:05:00.690 --> 00:05:01.991
- God every day for the faith that he's given you. do you know how many
- 00:05:02.058 --> 00:05:02.759
- That he's given you. do you know how many people there are that
- 00:05:02.825 --> 00:05:04.293
- Do you know how many people there are that just for whatever reason,
- 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:06.596
- People there are that just for whatever reason, they can't believe in god?
- 00:05:06.662 --> 00:05:09.365
- Just for whatever reason, they can't believe in god? i heard the story of somebody
- 00:05:09.432 --> 00:05:10.400
- They can't believe in god? i heard the story of somebody recently that's an agnostic
- 00:05:10.466 --> 00:05:11.834
- I heard the story of somebody recently that's an agnostic because of some things
- 00:05:11.901 --> 00:05:12.602
- Recently that's an agnostic because of some things that happened to them
- 00:05:12.668 --> 00:05:13.936
- Because of some things that happened to them in their childhood.
- 00:05:14.003 --> 00:05:15.338
- That happened to them in their childhood. and, you know, a lot of people,
- 00:05:15.405 --> 00:05:16.806
- In their childhood. and, you know, a lot of people, they have things happen to them
- 00:05:16.873 --> 00:05:18.141
- And, you know, a lot of people, they have things happen to them that are unjust and unfair,
- 00:05:18.207 --> 00:05:20.643
- They have things happen to them that are unjust and unfair, and they don't understand
- 00:05:20.710 --> 00:05:21.711
- That are unjust and unfair, and they don't understand and so they decide,
- 00:05:21.778 --> 00:05:22.678
- And they don't understand and so they decide, "well there can't possibly
- 00:05:22.745 --> 00:05:23.846
- And so they decide, "well there can't possibly be a god or that wouldn't
- 00:05:23.913 --> 00:05:26.015
- "well there can't possibly be a god or that wouldn't have happened."
- 00:05:26.082 --> 00:05:26.983
- Be a god or that wouldn't have happened." but that's exactly why
- 00:05:27.049 --> 00:05:27.950
- Have happened." but that's exactly why we have him to help
- 00:05:28.017 --> 00:05:28.985
- But that's exactly why we have him to help us in those times of need.
- 00:05:29.051 --> 00:05:30.887
- We have him to help us in those times of need. god never promised
- 00:05:30.953 --> 00:05:31.854
- Us in those times of need. god never promised us a trouble-free life.
- 00:05:31.921 --> 00:05:34.123
- God never promised us a trouble-free life. he just said, "cheer up,
- 00:05:34.190 --> 00:05:35.158
- Us a trouble-free life. he just said, "cheer up, i've overcome the world."
- 00:05:35.224 --> 00:05:36.459
- Matter of fact,
- 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:37.727
- Matter of fact, he promised us tribulation,
- 00:05:37.794 --> 00:05:39.429
- Matter of fact, he promised us tribulation, "in the world there will
- 00:05:39.495 --> 00:05:40.463
- He promised us tribulation, "in the world there will be tribulation, but cheer up--"
- 00:05:40.530 --> 00:05:44.367
- "in the world there will be tribulation, but cheer up--" >> [audience laughing]
- 00:05:44.434 --> 00:05:47.003
- Be tribulation, but cheer up--" >> [audience laughing] >> joyce: "i have overcome
- 00:05:47.069 --> 00:05:48.638
- >> [audience laughing] >> joyce: "i have overcome the world."
- 00:05:48.704 --> 00:05:49.739
- So, before you receive christ,
- 00:05:49.806 --> 00:05:52.675
- So, before you receive christ, you can sin,
- 00:05:52.742 --> 00:05:53.342
- So, before you receive christ, you can sin, it don't bother you one bit.
- 00:05:53.409 --> 00:05:56.879
- You can sin, it don't bother you one bit. didn't bother me when i sinned
- 00:05:56.946 --> 00:05:58.147
- It don't bother you one bit. didn't bother me when i sinned before i received christ.
- 00:05:58.214 --> 00:06:00.049
- Didn't bother me when i sinned before i received christ. i was just sinning, didn't care.
- 00:06:00.116 --> 00:06:03.786
- Before i received christ. i was just sinning, didn't care. but once you're born again,
- 00:06:03.853 --> 00:06:05.021
- I was just sinning, didn't care. but once you're born again, a war begins.
- 00:06:05.087 --> 00:06:06.823
- But once you're born again, a war begins. [chuckling]
- 00:06:06.889 --> 00:06:08.925
- A war begins. [chuckling] amen?
- 00:06:08.991 --> 00:06:09.859
- Anybody familiar with that war?
- 00:06:10.426 --> 00:06:12.562
- Anybody familiar with that war? we are soldiers in the army
- 00:06:12.628 --> 00:06:14.230
- Anybody familiar with that war? we are soldiers in the army of god and "the weapons
- 00:06:14.297 --> 00:06:15.398
- We are soldiers in the army of god and "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal,
- 00:06:15.465 --> 00:06:16.966
- Of god and "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but they're mighty through
- 00:06:17.033 --> 00:06:18.034
- Of our warfare are not carnal, but they're mighty through god to the pulling
- 00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:18.935
- But they're mighty through god to the pulling down of strongholds,
- 00:06:19.001 --> 00:06:20.636
- God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down wrong
- 00:06:20.703 --> 00:06:22.905
- Down of strongholds, casting down wrong thoughts and imaginations."
- 00:06:22.972 --> 00:06:25.441
- Casting down wrong thoughts and imaginations." so, the biggest thing that
- 00:06:25.508 --> 00:06:26.709
- Thoughts and imaginations." so, the biggest thing that we need to do is learn how
- 00:06:26.776 --> 00:06:28.478
- To think like god thinks.
- 00:06:28.544 --> 00:06:30.246
- To think like god thinks. and the only way you can do that
- 00:06:30.313 --> 00:06:31.848
- To think like god thinks. and the only way you can do that is by knowing the word of god.
- 00:06:31.914 --> 00:06:35.551
- And the only way you can do that is by knowing the word of god. and see, it's a mistake
- 00:06:35.618 --> 00:06:36.619
- Is by knowing the word of god. and see, it's a mistake to think that, "well, i can't
- 00:06:36.686 --> 00:06:38.387
- And see, it's a mistake to think that, "well, i can't help what i think."
- 00:06:38.454 --> 00:06:39.856
- To think that, "well, i can't help what i think." well, if you can't help it,
- 00:06:39.922 --> 00:06:40.990
- Help what i think." well, if you can't help it, nobody else is going to.
- 00:06:41.057 --> 00:06:43.593
- Well, if you can't help it, nobody else is going to. and when the bible says cast
- 00:06:43.659 --> 00:06:45.127
- Nobody else is going to. and when the bible says cast down wrong thoughts,
- 00:06:45.194 --> 00:06:47.463
- And when the bible says cast down wrong thoughts, it means when the holy spirit
- 00:06:47.530 --> 00:06:49.432
- Down wrong thoughts, it means when the holy spirit makes you aware that you're
- 00:06:49.499 --> 00:06:50.366
- It means when the holy spirit makes you aware that you're thinking something that is not
- 00:06:50.433 --> 00:06:52.435
- Makes you aware that you're thinking something that is not according to the word of god,
- 00:06:52.502 --> 00:06:54.070
- Thinking something that is not according to the word of god, then you just replace
- 00:06:54.136 --> 00:06:55.505
- According to the word of god, then you just replace it with a good thought.
- 00:06:55.571 --> 00:06:59.175
- Then you just replace it with a good thought. amen?
- 00:06:59.242 --> 00:06:59.575
- It with a good thought. amen? and what i have found
- 00:06:59.642 --> 00:07:00.810
- Amen? and what i have found to be the most effective
- 00:07:00.877 --> 00:07:02.578
- And what i have found to be the most effective is you can't think one thing
- 00:07:02.645 --> 00:07:05.548
- To be the most effective is you can't think one thing and say something else.
- 00:07:05.615 --> 00:07:07.216
- So, that's why speaking
- 00:07:08.084 --> 00:07:09.118
- So, that's why speaking the word is so important,
- 00:07:09.185 --> 00:07:11.420
- So, that's why speaking the word is so important, is because when you
- 00:07:11.487 --> 00:07:12.688
- The word is so important, is because when you know the word--
- 00:07:12.755 --> 00:07:14.790
- Is because when you know the word-- the bible says,
- 00:07:14.857 --> 00:07:15.391
- Know the word-- the bible says, "let him who has my word,
- 00:07:15.458 --> 00:07:16.425
- The bible says, "let him who has my word, speak my word faithfully."
- 00:07:16.492 --> 00:07:18.661
- "let him who has my word, speak my word faithfully." okay.
- 00:07:18.728 --> 00:07:19.729
- Speak my word faithfully." okay. so, i had a very difficult time
- 00:07:19.795 --> 00:07:24.333
- Okay. so, i had a very difficult time believing that god loved
- 00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:27.236
- So, i had a very difficult time believing that god loved me unconditionally,
- 00:07:27.303 --> 00:07:29.539
- Because everybody who ever told
- 00:07:29.605 --> 00:07:31.007
- Because everybody who ever told me that they loved me hurt me.
- 00:07:31.073 --> 00:07:33.609
- Because everybody who ever told me that they loved me hurt me. and so, i got to the point
- 00:07:33.676 --> 00:07:36.112
- Me that they loved me hurt me. and so, i got to the point where i knew--
- 00:07:36.178 --> 00:07:36.746
- And so, i got to the point where i knew-- i knew in my head
- 00:07:36.812 --> 00:07:37.747
- Where i knew-- i knew in my head that god loved me,
- 00:07:37.813 --> 00:07:39.415
- I knew in my head that god loved me, but it wasn't down in here yet.
- 00:07:39.482 --> 00:07:43.019
- That god loved me, but it wasn't down in here yet. and i'll tell you,
- 00:07:43.085 --> 00:07:43.653
- But it wasn't down in here yet. and i'll tell you, once you get a hold of that,
- 00:07:43.719 --> 00:07:44.987
- And i'll tell you, once you get a hold of that, a whole lot of your
- 00:07:45.054 --> 00:07:45.988
- Once you get a hold of that, a whole lot of your problems are over.
- 00:07:46.055 --> 00:07:47.990
- Because even when
- 00:07:48.824 --> 00:07:49.625
- Because even when you have trouble,
- 00:07:49.692 --> 00:07:50.359
- Because even when you have trouble, you know that god
- 00:07:50.426 --> 00:07:51.227
- You have trouble, you know that god still loves you.
- 00:07:51.294 --> 00:07:52.128
- You know that god still loves you. you don't question his love.
- 00:07:52.194 --> 00:07:54.096
- Still loves you. you don't question his love. and so, for a year,
- 00:07:54.163 --> 00:07:58.234
- You don't question his love. and so, for a year, i had to confess
- 00:07:58.301 --> 00:08:01.070
- And so, for a year, i had to confess "god loves me unconditionally."
- 00:08:01.137 --> 00:08:02.038
- I had to confess "god loves me unconditionally." i would even go sometimes
- 00:08:02.104 --> 00:08:03.072
- "god loves me unconditionally." i would even go sometimes and look at myself
- 00:08:03.139 --> 00:08:03.806
- I would even go sometimes and look at myself in the mirror and say,
- 00:08:03.873 --> 00:08:04.574
- And look at myself in the mirror and say, "god loves you.
- 00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:07.777
- In the mirror and say, "god loves you. you.
- 00:08:07.843 --> 00:08:08.978
- "god loves you. you. god loves you."
- 00:08:09.045 --> 00:08:10.613
- You. god loves you." and when i would start to think
- 00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:11.681
- God loves you." and when i would start to think junky thoughts about myself,
- 00:08:11.747 --> 00:08:14.250
- And when i would start to think junky thoughts about myself, i knew enough now to know
- 00:08:14.317 --> 00:08:15.585
- Junky thoughts about myself, i knew enough now to know that that was not the way
- 00:08:15.651 --> 00:08:16.485
- I knew enough now to know that that was not the way i should be thinking.
- 00:08:16.552 --> 00:08:19.188
- That that was not the way i should be thinking. and so instead of getting
- 00:08:19.255 --> 00:08:20.590
- I should be thinking. and so instead of getting condemned about it,
- 00:08:20.656 --> 00:08:21.757
- And so instead of getting condemned about it, when you're thinking
- 00:08:21.824 --> 00:08:22.391
- Condemned about it, when you're thinking wrong things, just say "no."
- 00:08:22.458 --> 00:08:25.194
- When you're thinking wrong things, just say "no." talk out loud.
- 00:08:25.261 --> 00:08:26.295
- Wrong things, just say "no." talk out loud. talk back to the devil.
- 00:08:26.362 --> 00:08:27.263
- Talk out loud. talk back to the devil. he talks to you.
- 00:08:27.330 --> 00:08:29.231
- Talk back to the devil. he talks to you. talk out loud and say, "no,
- 00:08:29.298 --> 00:08:31.033
- He talks to you. talk out loud and say, "no, i'm not gonna think that.
- 00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:32.702
- Talk out loud and say, "no, i'm not gonna think that. god loves me."
- 00:08:32.768 --> 00:08:35.237
- I'm not gonna think that. god loves me." i had the same situation
- 00:08:35.304 --> 00:08:36.606
- God loves me." i had the same situation with believing that i was
- 00:08:36.672 --> 00:08:38.441
- I had the same situation with believing that i was right with god.
- 00:08:38.507 --> 00:08:40.343
- With believing that i was right with god. in 2 corinthians 5:21 it says,
- 00:08:40.409 --> 00:08:42.111
- Right with god. in 2 corinthians 5:21 it says, "he that knew no sin became sin,
- 00:08:42.178 --> 00:08:44.547
- In 2 corinthians 5:21 it says, "he that knew no sin became sin, that we might be made
- 00:08:44.614 --> 00:08:47.116
- "he that knew no sin became sin, that we might be made the righteousness
- 00:08:47.183 --> 00:08:48.017
- That we might be made the righteousness of god in him."
- 00:08:48.084 --> 00:08:50.820
- The righteousness of god in him." well, i carried a boatload
- 00:08:50.886 --> 00:08:52.288
- Of god in him." well, i carried a boatload of guilt till i was
- 00:08:52.355 --> 00:08:54.624
- Probably in my fifties,
- 00:08:54.690 --> 00:08:56.959
- Probably in my fifties, late forties,
- 00:08:57.026 --> 00:08:58.961
- Probably in my fifties, late forties, up to mid-fifties because
- 00:08:59.028 --> 00:09:00.796

- 00:18:45.247 --> 00:18:47.082
- And then when we're born again,
- 00:18:47.749 --> 00:18:49.551
- And then when we're born again, we get this spiritual mind.
- 00:18:49.618 --> 00:18:53.789

- And god's spirit is in you, when you sin you can't be too comfortable with that.
- 00:19:17.246 --> 00:19:19.715
- When you sin you can't be too comfortable with that. 'cause there's a little

- Do you know that you can make yourself miserable just by the way you talk?

- Just by the way you talk? you go have a good gossip session about somebody
- 00:19:49.745 --> 00:19:52.648

- So, the amplified bible
- 00:20:12.434 --> 00:20:15.637
- So, the amplified bible in romans 8:6 says that
- 00:20:15.704 --> 00:20:17.873
- So, the amplified bible in romans 8:6 says that "the mind of the flesh
- 00:20:17.939 --> 00:20:19.641
- In romans 8:6 says that "the mind of the flesh [is sense and reason
- 00:20:19.708 --> 00:20:21.143
- "the mind of the flesh [is sense and reason without the holy spirit]."
- 00:20:21.209 --> 00:20:24.246
- [is sense and reason without the holy spirit]." now, god doesn't expect
- 00:20:24.313 --> 00:20:25.580
- Without the holy spirit]." now, god doesn't expect us not to have any sense
- 00:20:25.647 --> 00:20:26.948
- Now, god doesn't expect us not to have any sense or not to ever reason
- 00:20:27.015 --> 00:20:30.185
- Us not to have any sense or not to ever reason anything or think about it.
- 00:20:30.252 --> 00:20:31.453
- Or not to ever reason anything or think about it. but he does not want
- 00:20:31.520 --> 00:20:32.554
- Anything or think about it. but he does not want us living in reasoning,
- 00:20:32.621 --> 00:20:35.357
- But he does not want us living in reasoning, our own fleshly,
- 00:20:35.424 --> 00:20:36.558
- Us living in reasoning, our own fleshly, carnal reasoning.
- 00:20:36.625 --> 00:20:39.261
- Our own fleshly, carnal reasoning. and in james, he talks about
- 00:20:39.328 --> 00:20:42.531

- Being a doer of the word. and he said, if you hear the word
- 00:20:44.299 --> 00:20:45.000
- And he said, if you hear the word only and you don't do it,
- 00:20:45.067 --> 00:20:46.802
- If you hear the word only and you don't do it, then you're deceived
- 00:20:46.868 --> 00:20:50.072
- Only and you don't do it, then you're deceived by reasoning that
- 00:20:50.138 --> 00:20:51.606
