To agree with him. what you need to do is get into agreement with god.
00:06:39.422 --> 00:06:41.023
What you need to do is get into agreement with god. amos 3:3 says, "how can two
00:06:41.090 --> 00:06:42.859
Into agreement with god. amos 3:3 says, "how can two walk together, unless they be

Amos 3:3 says, "how can two walk together, unless they be agreed?"

Conversation into agreement
00:06:47.797 --> 00:06:49.532
Conversation into agreement with god's word instead of
00:06:49.599 --> 00:06:51.868
Conversation into agreement with god's word instead of just talking out of how you
00:06:51.934 --> 00:06:53.069
With god's word instead of just talking out of how you feel and what you think all
00:06:53.135 --> 00:06:54.504
Just talking out of how you feel and what you think all the time, and i can guarantee

Changes in your life. now, it may not be overnight, but what happens,
00:07:01.544 --> 00:07:02.745
Now, it may not be overnight, but what happens, what you say runs
00:07:02.812 --> 00:07:04.514
But what happens, what you say runs right along here,
00:07:04.580 --> 00:07:05.114
What you say runs right along here, gets in your ears,
00:07:05.181 --> 00:07:06.382
Right along here, gets in your ears, and drops right down
00:07:06.449 --> 00:07:07.083
Gets in your ears, and drops right down into your spirit.
00:07:07.149 --> 00:07:08.718
And drops right down into your spirit. and i'm gonna show you
00:07:08.784 --> 00:07:10.019
Into your spirit. and i'm gonna show you a scripture in a minute that
00:07:10.086 --> 00:07:10.887
And i'm gonna show you a scripture in a minute that says we eat our words.
00:07:10.953 --> 00:07:13.155
A scripture in a minute that says we eat our words. you've said to people, "you
00:07:13.222 --> 00:07:13.890
Says we eat our words. you've said to people, "you are gonna eat those words."
00:07:13.956 --> 00:07:15.191
Well, the truth is, is you
00:07:15.725 --> 00:07:16.993
Well, the truth is, is you actually do eat your words.
00:07:17.059 --> 00:07:18.895
Actually do eat your words. your words affect you more
00:07:18.961 --> 00:07:20.530
Your words affect you more than anybody else's words
00:07:20.596 --> 00:07:22.265
Than anybody else's words affect you.
00:07:22.331 --> 00:07:23.332
Affect you. so let's just say that you're
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:24.300
So let's just say that you're living with somebody that's
00:07:24.367 --> 00:07:25.167
Living with somebody that's really negative and
00:07:25.234 --> 00:07:26.035
Really negative and downgrading and they're
00:07:26.102 --> 00:07:27.270
Downgrading and they're constantly putting you down.
00:07:27.336 --> 00:07:28.704
Constantly putting you down. and sometimes people will say
00:07:28.771 --> 00:07:30.573
And sometimes people will say to me, "well, how in the world
00:07:30.640 --> 00:07:31.607
To me, "well, how in the world can i keep a good attitude?
00:07:31.674 --> 00:07:34.243
Can i keep a good attitude? how can i not get depressed
00:07:34.310 --> 00:07:36.345
How can i not get depressed if i'm living with somebody that
00:07:36.412 --> 00:07:37.246
If i'm living with somebody that puts me down all the time?"
00:07:37.313 --> 00:07:38.748
Puts me down all the time?" well, you know what?
00:07:38.814 --> 00:07:39.382
Well, you know what? it is hard and it's
00:07:39.448 --> 00:07:41.083
It is hard and it's challenging, but you can
00:07:41.150 --> 00:07:42.585
Challenging, but you can do two things.
00:07:42.652 --> 00:07:43.486
Do two things. you can make sure that you
00:07:43.553 --> 00:07:44.754
You can make sure that you have enough friends that
00:07:44.820 --> 00:07:46.188
To override those negative
00:07:47.790 --> 00:07:49.058
Things.
00:07:49.125 --> 00:07:49.725
Things. and as soon as somebody says
00:07:49.792 --> 00:07:51.494
Things. and as soon as somebody says something negative to you,
00:07:51.561 --> 00:07:52.695
And as soon as somebody says something negative to you, if you can't get
00:07:52.762 --> 00:07:53.362
Something negative to you, if you can't get them not to say it,
00:07:53.429 --> 00:07:54.196
If you can't get them not to say it, you go in another room
00:07:54.263 --> 00:07:55.698
Them not to say it, you go in another room by yourself and you say what
00:07:55.765 --> 00:07:57.567
You go in another room by yourself and you say what god says about you out loud.
