00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.400
 Well, let me just go ahead and ask you what the slide's asking you. Have you ever been triggered before?

00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:12.800
! Does everybody even know what I mean by that?

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:18.699
! Some of you triggered. You're wondering if I'm asking you if you've ever been shot.

00:00:18.699 --> 00:00:21.300
 It's not what that means.

00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:29.300
 If you've spent any time on the curse that is social media, then you have probably come across somebody saying, you're triggering me?

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:38.519
 It means you are, something is causing in you a powerful negative emotional response.

00:00:39.519 --> 00:00:43.500
 And so that's what we're talking about when we say, have you been triggered?

00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:49.859
 Listen, that's not the topic of today's sermon, but it is a good lead-in to it.

00:00:49.859 --> 00:00:56.600
 And so, what we're actually talking about is controlling our attitude.

00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:02.460
 Attitude. Or, to keep it in the theme of our series, Summer Stretch, stretching our attitude.

00:01:03.859 --> 00:01:06.439
 We've talked about stretching our time.

00:01:07.579 --> 00:01:09.260
 Talked about stretching our talk.

00:01:09.700 --> 00:01:11.840
 Last week, we talked about stretching our habits.

00:01:12.540 --> 00:01:17.960
 We're trying to break it down into where we live, week in, week out, day in, day out.

00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:23.159
 How do we stretch ourselves like God wants to stretch us?

00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:26.519
 The easiest thing is to never stretch.

00:01:26.819 --> 00:01:32.079
 We did this in week one of this series, and I think some of y'all really enjoyed it.

00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:35.539
 So, go ahead. You have permission. Let's all stretch.

00:01:35.699 --> 00:01:37.459
 Just get a nice, good one in there.

00:01:38.299 --> 00:01:41.219
 That way you don't get it out when I'm about halfway through the sermon,

00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:43.679
 and I think that you're falling asleep on me.

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:48.700
 Stretching can feel really nice, right?

00:01:49.060 --> 00:01:53.480
 But like we said a few weeks ago, how about when you go to physical therapy?

00:01:54.500 --> 00:01:56.240
 Does stretching feel nice at that point?

00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:01.580
 If it does, they'll very quickly fix it and make it not feel nice, right?

00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.160
 That's their job, is to stretch you beyond your comfort zone.

00:02:05.260 --> 00:02:07.840
 Well, believe it or not, that's what God wants to do with us, too.

00:02:07.900 --> 00:02:10.960
 He wants to stretch us beyond our comfort zone.

00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.280
 Would you go to Numbers chapter 13?

00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.719
 Numbers chapter 13.

00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:22.040
 Today we're going to talk about stretching our attitude.

00:02:26.020 --> 00:02:27.659
 I need to go there myself.

00:02:28.740 --> 00:02:29.860
 Numbers chapter 13.

00:02:31.780 --> 00:02:35.260
 We're going to look at a few verses in chapter 13,

00:02:35.260 --> 00:02:38.180
 and we're going to get into chapter 14 as well.

00:02:38.180 --> 00:02:41.620
 We're reading quite a number of scriptures.

00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:43.379
 I'm going to let you keep your seats today.

00:02:43.540 --> 00:02:46.580
 But as we get into this idea of stretching our attitude,

00:02:46.580 --> 00:02:51.060
 let's keep that in the back of our mind as we read through this passage from the Old Testament.

00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:53.240
 The Lord spoke to Moses.

00:02:54.020 --> 00:02:55.480
 Boy, that ought to get your attention.

00:02:55.900 --> 00:02:58.980
 Anytime God is speaking, we ought to listen up, right?

00:02:59.060 --> 00:03:00.319
 So the Lord spoke to Moses,

00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.379
 send men out to scout out the land of Canaan.

00:03:03.379 --> 00:03:05.180
 I'm giving to the Israelites.

00:03:05.780 --> 00:03:11.099
 Send one man who's a leader among them from each of their ancestral tribes.

00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:12.900
 So Moses did it.

00:03:13.740 --> 00:03:20.139
 This is, without diving into a lot of the backstory and taking up too much time for you this morning,

00:03:20.419 --> 00:03:24.639
 let's just focus on God promised this land to his people.

00:03:25.139 --> 00:03:26.460
 And so they have arrived.

00:03:26.460 --> 00:03:29.159
 They've gotten out of their captivity in Egypt,

00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.800
 and they have gotten to the place where he says,

00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:35.819
 all right, now it's time to go and scout out this land that I promised to you.

00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:37.840
 And so he said, here's how you're going to do it.

00:03:38.140 --> 00:03:40.780
 You're going to recruit some spies, some secret agents,

00:03:40.819 --> 00:03:42.780
 and these guys are going to go on a top secret mission,

00:03:42.780 --> 00:03:46.100
 and they are going to check out this land that I have promised to you.

00:03:46.379 --> 00:03:47.360
 So they did it.

00:03:47.659 --> 00:03:50.819
 Skip down now, would you, to verse 17.

00:03:51.819 --> 00:03:52.500
 Tell you what.

00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:58.039
 So let's look back in verse 6.

00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:02.719
 One of the spies was Caleb, son of Jephunneh.

00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.379
 I was waiting to see if anybody corrected my Hebrew, but there you go.

00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:08.539
 From the tribe of Judah.

00:04:08.979 --> 00:04:10.639
 Then jump down to verse 16.

00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.879
 These were the names of the men Moses sent to scout out the land,

00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.740
 and Moses renamed Hosea, son of Nun.

00:04:19.740 --> 00:04:22.519
 That's why we didn't read verse 8, Hosea, son of Nun.

00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.660
 Moses renamed him Joshua.

00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:27.780
 Joshua, the son of Nun.

00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.060
 Who was the only person who had no father and mother?

00:04:34.300 --> 00:04:35.639
 Joshua, the son of Nun.

00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:36.900
 Thank you.

00:04:37.340 --> 00:04:37.860
 I'm a dad.

00:04:37.980 --> 00:04:40.199
 I have to throw a dad joke in there somewhere, all right?

00:04:40.420 --> 00:04:41.439
 Somebody just got that.

00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:42.100
 That's good.

00:04:42.460 --> 00:04:43.480
 All right, verse 17.

00:04:43.579 --> 00:04:47.120
 When Moses sent them to scout out the land of Canaan,

00:04:47.220 --> 00:04:48.480
 just like God had told him to do,

00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.460
 he told them, go up this way to the Negev.

00:04:51.960 --> 00:04:53.580
 Then go into the hill country.

00:04:53.740 --> 00:04:54.819
 See what the land is like.

00:04:55.060 --> 00:04:58.259
 Whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or many.

00:04:58.520 --> 00:05:00.319
 Is the land they live in good or bad?

00:05:00.460 --> 00:05:02.939
 Are the cities they live in encampments or fortifications?

00:05:03.700 --> 00:05:05.040
 What's the deal here, guys?

00:05:05.700 --> 00:05:06.939
 Give me a good report.

00:05:07.220 --> 00:05:07.720
 Verse 20.

00:05:07.860 --> 00:05:09.480
 Is the land fertile or unproductive?

00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:12.360
 Are there trees in it or not?

00:05:12.860 --> 00:05:14.280
 Be courageous.

00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:15.960
 Did y'all catch that?

00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.639
 That was their instruction.

00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:20.060
 Be courageous.

00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:24.639
 Some of you who already know how this turned out know the significance of that.

00:05:24.799 --> 00:05:27.180
 Bring back some fruit from the land.

00:05:27.699 --> 00:05:31.199
 By the way, it was the season for the first ripe grapes.

00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:36.279
 When we're talking about ripe grapes, this is what we're talking about.

00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:40.899
 So let's jump down to verse 27.

00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:48.699
 Tell you what, just by sake of the slide on the screen, let's look at verse 23.

00:05:49.239 --> 00:05:52.379
 They scouted all this area, then they came to the valley of Eshkel.

00:05:52.919 --> 00:05:56.779
 They cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes.

00:05:56.779 --> 00:06:01.000
 Now look, my favorite place to buy grapes is Spring Market.

00:06:01.779 --> 00:06:02.559
 Have y'all noticed?

00:06:03.619 --> 00:06:07.219
 The grapes there are better than anywhere in Wichita Falls.

00:06:07.699 --> 00:06:08.759
 They are awesome.

00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:14.519
 I've gotten grapes at I think just about every grocery store in Wichita Falls,

00:06:14.719 --> 00:06:17.259
 and the best ones are at Spring Market right here.

00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:24.039
 So, now yeah, you know, Costco, or what is it, Sam's Club has the cotton candy grapes and stuff like that.

00:06:24.060 --> 00:06:27.279
 But we're not talking about your bougie, just grapes.

00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:28.240
 They're good.

00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:32.379
 But I have never seen a cluster that looked like that.

00:06:32.860 --> 00:06:34.120
 So what did they do?

00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:43.079
 They had to carry it on a pole with two guys, one cluster of grapes, unique to this valley of Eshkel.

00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.240
 So jump down now to verse 27.

00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:48.680
 They got back.

00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:49.680
 They got home.

00:06:50.819 --> 00:06:58.560
 And I can imagine that these guys starting out on their journey had a little different attitude than they did when they got back.

00:06:58.800 --> 00:06:59.300
 Why?

00:06:59.500 --> 00:07:00.740
 Well, we're going to see in just a minute.

00:07:01.019 --> 00:07:04.100
 But starting out, it's like, hey man, this is cool.

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.040
 We got selected for a top secret mission.

00:07:07.540 --> 00:07:08.420
 This is awesome.

00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:10.459
 We're going to go do the spy thing.

00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.800
 We're going to hang out with our buddies, and we're going to go out, all 12 of us.

00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:20.319
 You put 12 guys together on a road trip, you think some hijinks are not going to ensue?

00:07:21.060 --> 00:07:22.120
 It's going to get crazy.

00:07:22.780 --> 00:07:25.699
 So I'm sure they had themselves a time.

00:07:25.699 --> 00:07:42.379
 Until they got to Negev and Hebron and this area where the descendants of Anak were.

00:07:42.379 --> 00:07:45.839
 Do you know the significance of that?

00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:47.939
 We're about to read it.

00:07:48.100 --> 00:07:48.800
 Verse 27.

00:07:49.719 --> 00:07:51.060
 They reported to Moses.

00:07:51.860 --> 00:07:52.839
 We did it, Moses.

00:07:53.180 --> 00:07:54.560
 We accomplished our mission.

00:07:54.699 --> 00:07:55.399
 Mission accomplished.

00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:57.139
 We went into the land where you sent us.

00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.180
 Indeed, it is flowing with milk and honey.

00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:01.980
 That's an expression that means it was very fertile.

00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:03.879
 It was great for growing crops.

00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:08.240
 It was good, attractive land that you would want to settle in.

00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:10.659
 Here is some of the fruit.

00:08:11.219 --> 00:08:11.699
 See, Moses?

00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:12.300
 Have a great.

00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:15.399
 However, verse 28.

00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:21.279
 The people living in the land are strong and the cities are large and fortified.

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.639
 We also saw the descendants of Anak there.

00:08:27.039 --> 00:08:31.939
 The Amalekites are living in the land of the Negev.

00:08:32.699 --> 00:08:35.919
 The Hethites, Jebusites, Amorites live in the country.

00:08:36.299 --> 00:08:39.519
 And the Canaanites live by the sea along the Jordan.

00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:42.159
 Do you realize who all these people are?

00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:44.620
 They're all Israel's enemies.

00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.779
 They're all big, strong, scary warriors.

00:08:49.340 --> 00:08:52.539
 The descendants of Anak were mighty, mighty people.

00:08:53.539 --> 00:08:58.000
 So, these guys brought back the grapes.

00:08:58.379 --> 00:09:01.799
 And they also brought back this terrifying report

00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:06.860
 that this land is inhabited by our strongest enemies.

00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.500
 God didn't know what he was doing by promising it to us.

00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:11.860
 This is crazy.

00:09:11.980 --> 00:09:12.799
 We can't go there.

00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:16.799
 So, Caleb jumps in.

00:09:17.620 --> 00:09:18.399
 Remember those two?

00:09:19.359 --> 00:09:22.419
 Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb.

00:09:23.079 --> 00:09:29.159
 Caleb quieted the people in the presence of Moses.

00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:31.579
 Now, why would he have to do that?

00:09:31.580 --> 00:09:37.940
 Why would he have to quiet all the Israelite people

00:09:37.940 --> 00:09:40.759
 after the ten spies got done talking?

00:09:42.280 --> 00:09:42.639
 Fear.

00:09:42.780 --> 00:09:43.740
 Because they're scared, right?

00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:44.800
 They're freaking out.

00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:47.060
 What if I got up here today and said,

00:09:47.139 --> 00:09:50.100
 listen, there's a group of people that want to kill us

00:09:50.100 --> 00:09:52.620
 and they're all circled outside the church waiting for us to leave.

00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:54.800
 Would you all just settle in and enjoy my sermon?

00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.039
 Some of you would be jumping up.

00:09:58.120 --> 00:09:59.000
 I'm packing, baby.

00:09:59.059 --> 00:09:59.559
 Let's go.

00:10:01.419 --> 00:10:03.959
 Now, there might be a little unrest, right?

00:10:04.179 --> 00:10:06.419
 And so, that is what is happening

00:10:06.419 --> 00:10:10.319
 as the people are intent on going into this land.

00:10:10.439 --> 00:10:11.059
 They've marched there.

00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:11.779
 They're ready to go.

00:10:11.779 --> 00:10:13.699
 And all of a sudden, it's going to be war.

00:10:14.139 --> 00:10:15.120
 So, they start talking.

00:10:15.500 --> 00:10:18.000
 Caleb gets up and quiets them in the presence of Moses

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.279
 and says, let's go up now and take possession of the land

00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.360
 because we can certainly conquer it.

00:10:26.459 --> 00:10:31.500
 Why would Caleb think that they could take on all their enemies and win?

00:10:33.539 --> 00:10:35.299
 Because God's on their side.

00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:37.799
 We have this thing called faith, right?

00:10:38.059 --> 00:10:40.759
 We believe in the one true almighty God, right?

00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:43.080
 He promised us this land, right?

00:10:43.419 --> 00:10:45.100
 Okay, let's go take it.

00:10:45.500 --> 00:10:50.179
 Do we think he's not strong enough to beat these armies that hate us?

00:10:50.659 --> 00:10:51.679
 Of course he is.

00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:58.100
 But the men who had gone up with him outvoted him.

00:10:59.100 --> 00:11:01.620
 They responded and said, we can't attack the people

00:11:01.620 --> 00:11:03.819
 because they're stronger than we are.

00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.019
 We by ourselves or we with God?

00:11:08.019 --> 00:11:11.840
 I'm sure that's what Caleb was trying to make the point.

00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.600
 So, they gave a negative report to the Israelites

00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.439
 about the land they had scouted.

00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:18.860
 Now, watch this.

00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:21.939
 The land we pass through to explore

00:11:21.939 --> 00:11:25.120
 is one that devours its inhabitants.

00:11:26.319 --> 00:11:30.360
 All the people that we saw in it are men of great size.

00:11:30.819 --> 00:11:32.159
 There are no women there, apparently.

00:11:32.699 --> 00:11:34.319
 Just men of great size.

00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:37.480
 We even saw the Nephilim there.

00:11:38.180 --> 00:11:40.900
 The descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim.

00:11:41.580 --> 00:11:44.260
 To ourselves, we seemed like grasshoppers,

00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:46.700
 and we must have seemed the same to them.

00:11:48.160 --> 00:11:49.760
 They went from,

00:11:50.760 --> 00:11:54.520
 hey, there are our enemies living in this region,

00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:55.940
 to all of a sudden,

00:11:56.640 --> 00:11:59.820
 the fish story just got bigger and bigger and bigger,

00:11:59.820 --> 00:12:03.160
 and now there's these like mythical creatures

00:12:03.160 --> 00:12:05.140
 who are going to eat you

00:12:05.140 --> 00:12:08.660
 is kind of how they passed it off to the people of Israel.

00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:12.879
 It just kept getting worse and worse and worse

00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:13.760
 as they talked.

00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:15.280
 The Nephilim,

00:12:16.140 --> 00:12:18.320
 if you want to know about the Nephilim,

00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:19.260
 talk to Wade Pierce.

00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:20.120
 He's sitting back there.

00:12:20.140 --> 00:12:21.460
 He can tell you all about it.

00:12:21.980 --> 00:12:24.400
 I am not going to take the time in this sermon,

00:12:24.660 --> 00:12:27.280
 but go back to the beginning of the Bible.

00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:31.639
 We don't even know 100% sure what it's talking about,

00:12:31.699 --> 00:12:32.139
 what it says.

00:12:32.220 --> 00:12:34.059
 The sons of God came from heaven

00:12:34.059 --> 00:12:37.519
 and bore children with the daughters of men,

00:12:37.699 --> 00:12:41.559
 and it produced this crazy race or species of people

00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:44.000
 that was like giants and huge and massive.

00:12:44.419 --> 00:12:46.139
 This is kind of what we're talking about here, okay?

00:12:47.459 --> 00:12:48.879
 The little guy on the left down there,

00:12:48.939 --> 00:12:50.019
 he's about six feet tall.

00:12:51.699 --> 00:12:52.659
 Legend has it,

00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:54.919
 they grew as big as like 36 feet tall.

00:12:55.019 --> 00:12:55.919
 Who knows, y'all?

00:12:55.919 --> 00:13:00.899
 Well, I don't know that we've found dinosaur bones

00:13:00.899 --> 00:13:02.379
 or human dinosaur bones

00:13:02.379 --> 00:13:04.819
 that would correlate to that,

00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:05.819
 but listen,

00:13:06.339 --> 00:13:08.099
 saying the word Nephilim

00:13:08.099 --> 00:13:09.979
 was like a buzzword around the Israelites.

00:13:10.139 --> 00:13:10.740
 Man, what?

00:13:11.059 --> 00:13:12.319
 The Nephilim are there?

00:13:12.500 --> 00:13:13.679
 And then there was this rumor

00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:15.199
 that they were bloodsuckers

00:13:15.199 --> 00:13:16.799
 and maybe even cannibalistic,

00:13:17.019 --> 00:13:19.319
 and so if we go into the promised land,

00:13:19.379 --> 00:13:20.120
 we're going to get eaten.

00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.059
 That was kind of the terror

00:13:22.059 --> 00:13:23.699
 that they were experiencing at this moment.

00:13:23.700 --> 00:13:25.800
 And what happened?

00:13:25.980 --> 00:13:26.720
 Verse 14,

00:13:27.140 --> 00:13:27.680
 the whole community,

00:13:28.420 --> 00:13:28.680
 I'm sorry,

00:13:28.780 --> 00:13:29.820
 chapter 14, verse 1,

00:13:30.160 --> 00:13:33.040
 the whole community broke into loud cries

00:13:33.040 --> 00:13:34.460
 and they wept that night.

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:36.680
 Probably had bad dreams too.

00:13:39.160 --> 00:13:40.540
 And then they started complaining,

00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:42.020
 and then it just got worse from there.

00:13:42.019 --> 00:13:43.919
 Now look,

00:13:44.419 --> 00:13:46.480
 without following this story on,

00:13:46.579 --> 00:13:48.019
 you should keep reading in numbers.

00:13:48.379 --> 00:13:49.740
 Fascinating reading right here.

00:13:50.379 --> 00:13:52.500
 But without following to its conclusion,

00:13:53.460 --> 00:13:54.360
 let's stop

00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:55.799
 and see

00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:57.179
 what the power

00:13:57.179 --> 00:13:58.699
 of your attitude

00:13:58.699 --> 00:14:00.240
 can do.

00:14:01.539 --> 00:14:02.579
 Your attitude

00:14:02.579 --> 00:14:05.000
 can change everything.

00:14:06.139 --> 00:14:06.799
 Yours,

00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:08.039
 mine,

00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:09.959
 it can change

00:14:09.959 --> 00:14:10.959
 everything.

00:14:12.059 --> 00:14:12.279
 So,

00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:13.819
 let's see what

00:14:13.819 --> 00:14:15.439
 Paul has to talk about it

00:14:15.439 --> 00:14:16.740
 when he was teaching

00:14:16.740 --> 00:14:17.699
 Timothy.

00:14:20.259 --> 00:14:21.860
 We talked about this

00:14:21.860 --> 00:14:22.579
 last week.

00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:25.279
 Have nothing to do

00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:27.539
 with godless myths

00:14:27.539 --> 00:14:29.579
 and old wives' tales.

00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:32.500
 I brought this verse back in.

00:14:33.459 --> 00:14:34.159
 Because last week

00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:35.179
 we talked about training,

00:14:35.299 --> 00:14:36.179
 we talked about habits,

00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:37.199
 we talked about all that stuff.

00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:38.300
 But look,

00:14:38.820 --> 00:14:40.060
 this right here

00:14:40.060 --> 00:14:41.600
 has exactly to do

00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:42.720
 with what those ten spies

00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:43.120
 were doing.

00:14:43.780 --> 00:14:44.940
 Two of them had faith,

00:14:45.259 --> 00:14:46.120
 Caleb and Joshua.

00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:47.759
 But the ten,

00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:49.720
 their attitude

00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:51.700
 was completely overtaken,

00:14:51.860 --> 00:14:53.020
 completely changed,

00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:54.280
 completely affected

00:14:54.280 --> 00:14:55.580
 by fear

00:14:55.580 --> 00:14:57.080
 and lack of faith

00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:58.420
 in the one

00:14:58.420 --> 00:14:59.320
 who had brought them

00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:00.420
 all that way.

00:15:01.800 --> 00:15:03.259
 So the warning is,

00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:05.240
 don't get caught up

00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:06.160
 in that trap.

00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:08.019
 and then don't

00:15:08.019 --> 00:15:09.100
 you be the one

00:15:09.100 --> 00:15:10.120
 to spread

00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:11.559
 those godless myths

00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:13.240
 and old wives' tales.

00:15:13.439 --> 00:15:14.179
 And often,

00:15:14.500 --> 00:15:15.360
 our attitude

00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:16.679
 will make us

00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:17.459
 do that.

00:15:17.959 --> 00:15:18.959
 If we are

00:15:18.959 --> 00:15:20.219
 against something,

00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:21.699
 then we'll all of a sudden

00:15:21.699 --> 00:15:22.439
 make it sound

00:15:22.439 --> 00:15:23.480
 a whole lot worse

00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:24.600
 than it really is.

00:15:24.959 --> 00:15:25.399
 Because

00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:27.360
 we don't want to do it.

00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:28.539
 Or we don't like it.

00:15:28.740 --> 00:15:29.539
 So we're going to go

00:15:29.539 --> 00:15:30.759
 on the attack about it.

00:15:30.939 --> 00:15:31.779
 And we're going to

00:15:31.779 --> 00:15:33.059
 trump it up in our mind.

00:15:33.059 --> 00:15:33.919
 And it's going to

00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:34.679
 become bigger

00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:35.919
 than it ever

00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:37.739
 really is.

00:15:40.139 --> 00:15:40.579
 Instead,

00:15:41.219 --> 00:15:41.819
 train ourselves

00:15:41.819 --> 00:15:42.379
 to be godly.

00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:43.579
 Start those habits.

00:15:43.839 --> 00:15:44.439
 And we talked about

00:15:44.439 --> 00:15:45.039
 that last week.

00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:45.799
 So,

00:15:45.979 --> 00:15:46.639
 how do we do it?

00:15:46.959 --> 00:15:47.779
 How do we stretch

00:15:47.779 --> 00:15:48.259
 our attitudes?

00:15:48.619 --> 00:15:49.419
 How do we change

00:15:49.419 --> 00:15:49.839
 our attitudes?

00:15:50.259 --> 00:15:50.819
 First of all,

00:15:50.859 --> 00:15:51.759
 we have to understand

00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:52.699
 that our attitude

00:15:52.699 --> 00:15:54.419
 shapes our perspective.

00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:55.659
 Our attitude

00:15:55.659 --> 00:15:56.459
 shapes

00:15:56.459 --> 00:15:57.599
 our perspective.

00:15:57.600 --> 00:15:57.759
 perspective.

00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:02.159
 You ever been

00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:03.060
 triggered by something?

00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:04.740
 Those spies

00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:05.320
 got triggered

00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:06.060
 by giants.

00:16:07.060 --> 00:16:07.460
 Listen,

00:16:07.580 --> 00:16:08.120
 I think I would

00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:08.620
 probably get

00:16:08.620 --> 00:16:09.759
 triggered by giants too.

00:16:10.740 --> 00:16:11.659
 If all of a sudden

00:16:11.659 --> 00:16:12.340
 God wanted me

00:16:12.340 --> 00:16:12.680
 to go out

00:16:12.680 --> 00:16:14.399
 and fight a giant,

00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:15.560
 I would be

00:16:15.560 --> 00:16:16.360
 a little terrified.

00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:18.480
 I'd be like,

00:16:18.500 --> 00:16:18.740
 God,

00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:19.639
 can you put me

00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:20.019
 on the phone

00:16:20.019 --> 00:16:20.440
 with David

00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:20.920
 or something?

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:21.399
 Because I need

00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:21.759
 a lesson

00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:22.980
 in how to do this.

00:16:24.580 --> 00:16:25.620
 But our attitude

00:16:25.620 --> 00:16:27.840
 shapes our perspective.

00:16:28.899 --> 00:16:29.299
 So,

00:16:29.419 --> 00:16:30.080
 if I have

00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:30.679
 an attitude

00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:31.740
 of faith

00:16:31.740 --> 00:16:32.419
 and reliance

00:16:32.419 --> 00:16:32.980
 on God

00:16:32.980 --> 00:16:33.600
 and he said,

00:16:34.019 --> 00:16:34.759
 you get out there

00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:36.740
 and fight that giant,

00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:38.120
 then I would say,

00:16:38.179 --> 00:16:38.480
 God,

00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:39.460
 kind of like Peter

00:16:39.460 --> 00:16:40.820
 when God told him

00:16:40.820 --> 00:16:41.779
 to get out of the boat

00:16:41.779 --> 00:16:42.600
 or Peter

00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:43.399
 when God told him

00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:45.019
 to put the boat

00:16:45.019 --> 00:16:45.820
 back into the water

00:16:45.820 --> 00:16:46.679
 and go catch fish

00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:47.200
 when we've been fishing

00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:47.560
 all night

00:16:47.560 --> 00:16:48.120
 and caught nothing

00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:48.379
 and say,

00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:48.659
 God,

00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:50.080
 I don't really know

00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:50.560
 what you're doing.

00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:51.480
 This doesn't seem

00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:52.220
 like a good idea.

00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:52.759
 It doesn't seem

00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:53.539
 like it's going to work.

00:16:53.740 --> 00:16:55.019
 But because you told me

00:16:55.019 --> 00:16:55.480
 to do it,

00:16:55.620 --> 00:16:56.240
 I'll do it.

00:16:57.179 --> 00:16:58.240
 Sometimes that's

00:16:58.240 --> 00:16:59.299
 enough faith

00:16:59.299 --> 00:17:01.080
 to change our attitude

00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:02.620
 enough from a no

00:17:02.620 --> 00:17:04.200
 to a yes.

00:17:04.619 --> 00:17:04.880
 Listen,

00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:06.039
 I'm not saying

00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:06.819
 that there weren't

00:17:06.819 --> 00:17:08.640
 dangerous enemy tribes

00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:09.859
 waiting for the Israelites

00:17:09.859 --> 00:17:11.859
 in the promised land.

00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:12.720
 There were.

00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:14.599
 But God was going

00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:15.079
 to give them

00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:16.039
 victory over them.

00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:17.859
 And all they had

00:17:17.859 --> 00:17:19.160
 to get to

00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:20.640
 was from a no

00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:22.079
 to a yes.

00:17:22.339 --> 00:17:23.140
 And that is what

00:17:23.140 --> 00:17:24.059
 God is waiting

00:17:24.059 --> 00:17:24.740
 for me

00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:25.599
 and for you

00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:26.139
 to do.

00:17:26.579 --> 00:17:27.480
 We don't have

00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:28.159
 to be sunshine

00:17:28.159 --> 00:17:28.679
 and roses

00:17:28.679 --> 00:17:29.359
 all the time.

00:17:29.619 --> 00:17:30.119
 We don't have

00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:31.059
 to be all bubbly

00:17:31.059 --> 00:17:31.879
 about everything

00:17:31.879 --> 00:17:32.500
 that we feel

00:17:32.500 --> 00:17:32.940
 like God

00:17:32.940 --> 00:17:33.519
 is leading us

00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:33.940
 to do.

00:17:34.059 --> 00:17:34.799
 But we have

00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:35.319
 to get from

00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:35.740
 a no

00:17:35.740 --> 00:17:36.519
 to a yes.

00:17:38.099 --> 00:17:38.720
 And that's

00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:39.279
 going to come

00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:39.960
 from our

00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:40.579
 perspective.

00:17:40.579 --> 00:17:42.119
 So,

00:17:43.679 --> 00:17:46.500
 the ten spies'

00:17:47.099 --> 00:17:47.519
 perspective

00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:48.659
 is fear,

00:17:49.539 --> 00:17:49.899
 panic,

00:17:50.419 --> 00:17:50.899
 discouragement.

00:17:52.159 --> 00:17:53.039
 Joshua and Caleb's

00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:53.439
 perspective

00:17:53.439 --> 00:17:54.679
 was faith,

00:17:55.579 --> 00:17:55.939
 courage,

00:17:56.579 --> 00:17:57.799
 and truth.

00:17:59.220 --> 00:18:00.119
 They knew.

00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:01.139
 They knew

00:18:01.139 --> 00:18:01.519
 that God

00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:02.119
 would deliver them.

00:18:03.259 --> 00:18:04.439
 And the attitude

00:18:04.439 --> 00:18:06.079
 shaped

00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:07.319
 their perspective

00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:07.679
 on it.

00:18:08.299 --> 00:18:08.679
 Yes,

00:18:08.779 --> 00:18:09.480
 there are enemies,

00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:10.839
 but we have

00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:11.700
 God on our side.

00:18:12.120 --> 00:18:12.420
 So,

00:18:12.500 --> 00:18:13.019
 let's go

00:18:13.019 --> 00:18:13.579
 take them.

00:18:14.339 --> 00:18:14.960
 Let's go

00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:15.759
 see God

00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:16.940
 win a mighty

00:18:16.940 --> 00:18:17.640
 victory.

00:18:18.140 --> 00:18:18.599
 Not,

00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:19.500
 let's run

00:18:19.500 --> 00:18:19.839
 in fear.

00:18:20.900 --> 00:18:21.960
 1 John chapter 5

00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:22.700
 talks about this.

00:18:22.980 --> 00:18:23.880
 Everyone born

00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:24.640
 of God

00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:25.980
 overcomes

00:18:25.980 --> 00:18:27.019
 the world.

00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:27.860
 I underline

00:18:27.860 --> 00:18:28.299
 that word.

00:18:28.539 --> 00:18:29.460
 It's in this verse

00:18:29.460 --> 00:18:30.099
 three times,

00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:30.740
 these two verses.

00:18:31.360 --> 00:18:32.380
 This is the victory

00:18:32.380 --> 00:18:33.299
 that has overcome

00:18:33.299 --> 00:18:33.900
 the world,

00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:35.620
 even our faith.

00:18:35.819 --> 00:18:37.120
 It's not our strength,

00:18:37.339 --> 00:18:38.360
 it's not our might,

00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:39.839
 it's not our smarts,

00:18:40.099 --> 00:18:40.919
 it's not how good

00:18:40.919 --> 00:18:41.599
 looking we are,

00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:42.159
 thankfully.

00:18:43.019 --> 00:18:44.039
 It's not how big

00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:45.039
 our bank account is,

00:18:45.159 --> 00:18:45.479
 thankfully.

00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:47.619
 It's not contingent

00:18:47.619 --> 00:18:48.479
 on all those

00:18:48.479 --> 00:18:49.279
 human things,

00:18:49.439 --> 00:18:50.399
 it's contingent

00:18:50.399 --> 00:18:51.179
 on our faith

00:18:51.179 --> 00:18:52.439
 in almighty God.

00:18:52.539 --> 00:18:53.599
 Because if we have

00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:54.539
 faith in God,

00:18:54.779 --> 00:18:56.119
 then that unlocks

00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:57.079
 God's power

00:18:57.079 --> 00:18:58.199
 to step in

00:18:58.199 --> 00:18:59.319
 and move.

00:19:00.899 --> 00:19:02.059
 So this is the victory

00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:02.659
 that's overcome

00:19:02.659 --> 00:19:03.139
 the world.

00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:04.559
 It's our faith.

00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:07.079
 Faith is the victory.

00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:09.000
 There's an old song

00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:10.139
 that said that.

00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:12.240
 Who is it

00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:12.799
 that overcomes

00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:13.199
 the world?

00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:14.839
 Only the one

00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:15.740
 who believes.

00:19:17.220 --> 00:19:18.919
 If you really believe,

00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:22.139
 then faith

00:19:22.139 --> 00:19:23.199
 will change

00:19:23.199 --> 00:19:23.720
 your attitude.

00:19:24.679 --> 00:19:25.519
 Faith will change

00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:26.039
 your perspective.

00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:28.220
 And you can go

00:19:28.220 --> 00:19:29.639
 from one

00:19:29.639 --> 00:19:30.439
 who cowers

00:19:30.439 --> 00:19:31.000
 in fear

00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:32.980
 or a negative Nancy,

00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:33.659
 so to speak,

00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:36.059
 into an overcomer.

00:19:36.059 --> 00:19:37.579
 This is what Caleb

00:19:37.579 --> 00:19:38.740
 was trying to get

00:19:38.740 --> 00:19:40.240
 the Israelites

00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:40.720
 to do.

00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:41.240
 He was trying

00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:42.119
 to break through

00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:43.279
 into those spies'

00:19:43.460 --> 00:19:44.019
 mind and say,

00:19:44.099 --> 00:19:44.940
 listen guys,

00:19:45.419 --> 00:19:45.759
 yeah,

00:19:45.919 --> 00:19:46.899
 they look scary,

00:19:47.339 --> 00:19:48.779
 but we can be

00:19:48.779 --> 00:19:49.980
 overcomers.

00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:51.339
 So are you

00:19:51.339 --> 00:19:52.200
 an overcomer today?

00:19:52.619 --> 00:19:53.679
 Does that characterize

00:19:53.679 --> 00:19:54.399
 your life?

00:19:55.099 --> 00:19:55.839
 Have you been able

00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:56.579
 to overcome

00:19:56.579 --> 00:19:58.279
 everything that the

00:19:58.279 --> 00:19:59.119
 devil throws at you?

00:19:59.259 --> 00:19:59.879
 You cannot

00:19:59.879 --> 00:20:00.759
 in your strength,

00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:01.859
 but by faith

00:20:01.859 --> 00:20:02.500
 you can.

00:20:02.500 --> 00:20:03.880
 By faith

00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:05.119
 you can overcome.

00:20:06.019 --> 00:20:06.519
 So attitude

00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:08.099
 shapes your perspective.

00:20:08.259 --> 00:20:08.900
 Can I get a volunteer

00:20:08.900 --> 00:20:09.259
 up here?

00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:11.140
 I need a volunteer.

00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:13.920
 Christopher,

00:20:14.339 --> 00:20:15.279
 I saw your hand first.

00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:15.579
 Come on,

00:20:15.619 --> 00:20:15.900
 let's go.

00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:18.740
 Let's go,

00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:19.039
 brother.

00:20:22.299 --> 00:20:22.940
 Come on,

00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:23.299
 son,

00:20:23.380 --> 00:20:23.720
 run,

00:20:23.779 --> 00:20:24.240
 let's go.

00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:24.359
 Come on,

00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:24.279
 let's go.

00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:27.559
 I don't get to coach

00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:27.779
 anymore,

00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:28.359
 I just wanted to do

00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:28.839
 something like that.

00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:29.180
 All right,

00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:29.400
 sir,

00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:30.519
 can you look out there

00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:31.119
 and see the crowd

00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:31.519
 pretty well?

00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:32.279
 Yes.

00:20:32.879 --> 00:20:33.720
 You see everybody's faces?

00:20:34.139 --> 00:20:34.480
 Yes.

00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:35.299
 They look nice,

00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:35.660
 don't they?

00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:36.220
 Some of them.

00:20:36.379 --> 00:20:36.859
 Some of them?

00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:37.319
 Wow.

00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:40.039
 I did not even

00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:40.839
 coach him to do that.

00:20:40.879 --> 00:20:41.259
 He just,

00:20:41.859 --> 00:20:43.900
 we need to stop

00:20:43.900 --> 00:20:44.559
 and pray for your

00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:45.160
 heart right now.

00:20:46.500 --> 00:20:47.019
 All right,

00:20:47.099 --> 00:20:47.359
 cool.

00:20:48.339 --> 00:20:48.960
 Would you just

00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:49.500
 put these on?

00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:50.319
 Do you wear glasses?

00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:51.059
 Yes.

00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:51.839
 You do wear glasses?

00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:52.240
 I have contacts.

00:20:52.259 --> 00:20:52.799
 You have contacts.

00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:53.900
 That ought to make

00:20:53.900 --> 00:20:54.480
 this real fun.

00:20:54.639 --> 00:20:55.079
 All right,

00:20:55.139 --> 00:20:55.539
 here you go,

00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:55.720
 man.

00:20:55.819 --> 00:20:56.460
 Would you mind

00:20:56.460 --> 00:20:57.200
 looking through those

00:20:57.200 --> 00:20:57.859
 and just see,

00:20:58.700 --> 00:20:59.660
 do they look as clear

00:20:59.660 --> 00:21:00.259
 as they did before?

00:21:00.700 --> 00:21:00.960
 No.

00:21:01.139 --> 00:21:01.440
 No?

00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:03.480
 Can you describe

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:04.559
 how they look right now?

00:21:05.740 --> 00:21:06.059
 No.

00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:06.599
 No?

00:21:07.660 --> 00:21:08.839
 There are no words,

00:21:08.900 --> 00:21:09.119
 right?

00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:10.139
 Can you see Clayton

00:21:10.139 --> 00:21:11.319
 waving at you down there

00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:11.980
 vaguely?

00:21:12.740 --> 00:21:13.059
 Yeah.

00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:13.879
 Is it a little blurry?

00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:14.639
 Yes.

00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:15.120
 Okay.

00:21:15.120 --> 00:21:15.160
 Okay.

00:21:15.340 --> 00:21:16.000
 That's great,

00:21:16.100 --> 00:21:16.220
 man.

00:21:16.500 --> 00:21:17.560
 So would you say

00:21:17.560 --> 00:21:18.400
 that those lenses

00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:20.480
 are affecting your vision

00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:21.680
 and how you see

00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:22.960
 our beautiful church?

00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:24.240
 Yes.

00:21:24.540 --> 00:21:24.880
 Okay.

00:21:25.020 --> 00:21:25.620
 Good to know.

00:21:27.060 --> 00:21:27.800
 Great to know.

00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:28.700
 You can take those off.

00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:31.720
 Would you say that

00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:33.140
 distorted or changed

00:21:33.140 --> 00:21:34.280
 your perspective

00:21:34.280 --> 00:21:34.720
 a little bit?

00:21:35.020 --> 00:21:35.380
 Yes, sir.

00:21:35.520 --> 00:21:35.759
 Okay.

00:21:36.100 --> 00:21:37.100
 Would you try those on?

00:21:37.099 --> 00:21:38.099
 Yeah.

00:21:38.099 --> 00:21:39.099
 Yeah.

00:21:39.939 --> 00:21:40.740
 Look at that.

00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:42.519
 Pretty cool, right?

00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:44.059
 By the way,

00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:45.319
 these were Dollar Tree's

00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:46.400
 finest lenses right here,

00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:46.660
 so.

00:21:48.339 --> 00:21:49.139
 What does that do?

00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:49.920
 How's everybody look?

00:21:51.059 --> 00:21:51.420
 Darker.

00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:52.119
 Darker.

00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:52.839
 Darker.

00:21:52.980 --> 00:21:53.299
 Interesting.

00:21:53.740 --> 00:21:54.220
 You can see them

00:21:54.220 --> 00:21:55.119
 more clearly probably,

00:21:55.299 --> 00:21:55.579
 right?

00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:55.839
 Yes.

00:21:56.099 --> 00:21:56.980
 But everything's

00:21:56.980 --> 00:21:57.419
 a little darker?

00:21:57.720 --> 00:21:57.980
 Yes.

00:21:58.079 --> 00:21:58.519
 That's cool.

00:21:59.000 --> 00:21:59.379
 All right, man.

00:21:59.399 --> 00:22:00.159
 Would you take those off?

00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:01.659
 You see everybody good again?

00:22:01.779 --> 00:22:03.599
 It didn't permanently damage your...

00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:04.059
 No.

00:22:04.179 --> 00:22:04.579
 All right, good.

00:22:04.779 --> 00:22:05.039
 All right.

00:22:05.099 --> 00:22:05.619
 Thanks, man.

00:22:05.679 --> 00:22:06.240
 That was awesome.

00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:06.859
 High five.

00:22:06.919 --> 00:22:07.559
 Let's give them a clap.

00:22:07.679 --> 00:22:08.319
 You did great, buddy.

00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:12.259
 By the way,

00:22:12.299 --> 00:22:12.879
 do you want these?

00:22:12.919 --> 00:22:13.359
 Here, Chris.

00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:14.079
 You can have these.

00:22:14.679 --> 00:22:14.980
 Catch.

00:22:15.959 --> 00:22:16.319
 Yeah!

00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:17.059
 Nice catch.

00:22:17.099 --> 00:22:17.619
 That was awesome.

00:22:17.980 --> 00:22:18.579
 Brandy was like,

00:22:18.619 --> 00:22:19.339
 you are going to kill me.

00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:21.519
 Does anybody wear

00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:23.599
 3.25 reading lenses?

00:22:24.579 --> 00:22:24.819
 Anybody?

00:22:25.419 --> 00:22:25.579
 No?

00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:26.319
 Just like,

00:22:26.419 --> 00:22:27.000
 thumbs down.

00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:28.139
 Nobody wants them!

00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:29.220
 All right.

00:22:29.339 --> 00:22:30.139
 Somebody come get them.

00:22:30.199 --> 00:22:30.659
 They're right up here.

00:22:30.859 --> 00:22:31.579
 I do not wear them.

00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:32.419
 All right.

00:22:33.379 --> 00:22:34.740
 The first time

00:22:34.740 --> 00:22:35.919
 he looked through

00:22:35.919 --> 00:22:38.099
 the enhanced readers,

00:22:39.699 --> 00:22:40.799
 y'all looked blurry.

00:22:40.959 --> 00:22:41.439
 I know that

00:22:41.439 --> 00:22:42.139
 because I tried them out

00:22:42.139 --> 00:22:43.000
 myself earlier.

00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:45.139
 He's still wearing them.

00:22:45.139 --> 00:22:45.899
 That's great.

00:22:46.259 --> 00:22:47.619
 You're awesome, Chris.

00:22:49.019 --> 00:22:50.839
 The second time,

00:22:51.220 --> 00:22:53.839
 he could see clearly,

00:22:54.419 --> 00:22:55.419
 but everybody

00:22:55.420 --> 00:22:56.460
 looked darker.

00:22:56.460 --> 00:22:58.220
 Everything looked darker.

00:22:58.420 --> 00:22:59.240
 Now look,

00:22:59.300 --> 00:23:00.720
 that's a silly little example.

00:23:01.840 --> 00:23:03.060
 But the truth is,

00:23:03.560 --> 00:23:05.200
 depending on the lens

00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:06.580
 you are looking through,

00:23:07.180 --> 00:23:08.460
 everything can look

00:23:08.460 --> 00:23:09.259
 a little darker

00:23:09.259 --> 00:23:10.539
 than it really is.

00:23:12.220 --> 00:23:13.140
 Believe me,

00:23:13.300 --> 00:23:13.920
 I've been there.

00:23:15.060 --> 00:23:15.539
 Or,

00:23:16.320 --> 00:23:17.560
 everything can look

00:23:17.560 --> 00:23:18.320
 distorted.

00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:20.579
 And you are not getting

00:23:20.579 --> 00:23:21.759
 an accurate view

00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:23.000
 of what you're looking at.

00:23:23.700 --> 00:23:24.779
 It's all because

00:23:24.779 --> 00:23:25.659
 of your lenses.

00:23:26.579 --> 00:23:27.539
 Y'all didn't change.

00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:29.379
 We didn't change.

00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:31.039
 The truth,

00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:31.700
 reality,

00:23:31.859 --> 00:23:33.319
 did not change.

00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:34.339
 Do you know

00:23:34.339 --> 00:23:35.960
 who always has

00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:37.159
 20-20 vision?

00:23:38.659 --> 00:23:39.339
 God.

00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:42.099
 He's the only one

00:23:42.099 --> 00:23:44.459
 who sees reality

00:23:44.459 --> 00:23:46.399
 as it really is.

00:23:47.019 --> 00:23:48.419
 The rest of us

00:23:48.419 --> 00:23:49.559
 are looking

00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:51.799
 through different lenses.

00:23:52.939 --> 00:23:53.819
 Looking through

00:23:53.819 --> 00:23:54.599
 different lenses

00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:55.859
 at different moments.

00:23:57.139 --> 00:23:58.199
 Those are driven

00:23:58.199 --> 00:23:59.059
 by our emotions.

00:23:59.619 --> 00:24:00.399
 Those are usually

00:24:00.399 --> 00:24:01.839
 driven by circumstances.

00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:03.519
 Those are driven

00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:04.519
 by what's going on

00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:05.079
 around us,

00:24:05.159 --> 00:24:06.399
 the people around us,

00:24:06.699 --> 00:24:07.699
 our experiences,

00:24:08.460 --> 00:24:09.400
 the triggers

00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:10.880
 that set us off.

00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:12.740
 And that immediately

00:24:12.740 --> 00:24:14.279
 changes our lenses.

00:24:14.580 --> 00:24:15.140
 And now,

00:24:15.259 --> 00:24:15.940
 the reality

00:24:15.940 --> 00:24:16.880
 that we're seeing,

00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:17.880
 the people

00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:19.539
 that we're listening to,

00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:20.759
 what we're watching

00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:21.920
 happen in the service,

00:24:22.180 --> 00:24:22.960
 what we're seeing

00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:24.019
 happen in the community,

00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:25.140
 what's happening

00:24:25.140 --> 00:24:26.160
 with our loved ones,

00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:26.799
 our friends,

00:24:27.259 --> 00:24:27.980
 what's happening

00:24:27.980 --> 00:24:28.620
 at home,

00:24:29.019 --> 00:24:29.620
 what's happening

00:24:29.620 --> 00:24:30.940
 the truth about ourselves,

00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:32.700
 those all of a sudden

00:24:32.700 --> 00:24:33.940
 become distorted.

00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:36.600
 We're not seeing it

00:24:36.600 --> 00:24:37.200
 accurately.

00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:37.920
 Or,

00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:39.220
 it might become

00:24:39.220 --> 00:24:40.000
 darker.

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:42.200
 Everything just doesn't

00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:43.240
 look as bright anymore.

00:24:44.120 --> 00:24:44.799
 Everything doesn't

00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:45.539
 look as cheerful.

00:24:46.700 --> 00:24:47.360
 Everything doesn't

00:24:47.360 --> 00:24:47.980
 look as good.

00:24:49.500 --> 00:24:50.519
 The lenses

00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:52.600
 are our attitudes.

00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:54.259
 And that changes

00:24:54.259 --> 00:24:55.480
 our perspective.

00:24:56.860 --> 00:24:57.819
 Philippians 4.8

00:24:57.819 --> 00:24:58.580
 tells us

00:24:58.580 --> 00:24:59.920
 how to combat that.

00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:01.319
 Think on

00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:02.620
 these things.

00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:03.779
 Whatever's true,

00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:04.720
 whatever's righteous,

00:25:05.360 --> 00:25:06.039
 whatever's worthy

00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:06.580
 of praise,

00:25:06.579 --> 00:25:07.619
 there's a whole list.

00:25:08.259 --> 00:25:09.199
 Philippians 4.8.

00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:11.139
 This is what you think on.

00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:12.439
 This is what shapes

00:25:12.439 --> 00:25:13.039
 your attitude.

00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:13.519
 So,

00:25:13.939 --> 00:25:15.099
 what you look through,

00:25:15.659 --> 00:25:16.859
 the lens you look through,

00:25:17.220 --> 00:25:18.799
 shapes how you see life.

00:25:20.379 --> 00:25:21.839
 And a small shift

00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:23.359
 in that perspective

00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:25.659
 can have big impact

00:25:25.659 --> 00:25:26.899
 in your life.

00:25:26.900 --> 00:25:27.440
 number two.

00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:27.460
 Number two.

00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:29.900
 Before we get there,

00:25:30.040 --> 00:25:31.180
 I forgot to put this up there.

00:25:31.460 --> 00:25:32.380
 Do you see obstacles

00:25:32.380 --> 00:25:33.160
 or a chance

00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:33.640
 to overcome?

00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:36.320
 Do you see obstacles

00:25:36.320 --> 00:25:37.340
 or a chance

00:25:37.340 --> 00:25:38.140
 to overcome?

00:25:38.580 --> 00:25:39.120
 You can put that

00:25:39.120 --> 00:25:39.800
 in your bulletin.

00:25:40.600 --> 00:25:41.440
 Caleb was trying

00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:42.080
 to get the people

00:25:42.080 --> 00:25:43.200
 to be overcomers,

00:25:43.740 --> 00:25:45.620
 but the lens

00:25:45.620 --> 00:25:46.900
 those spies

00:25:46.900 --> 00:25:47.720
 were looking at

00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:49.680
 changed their

00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:50.320
 opportunity

00:25:50.320 --> 00:25:51.019
 to overcome

00:25:51.019 --> 00:25:52.600
 into obstacles

00:25:52.600 --> 00:25:53.700
 that they just

00:25:53.700 --> 00:25:55.019
 could not see past.

00:25:55.019 --> 00:25:56.379
 You ever been there?

00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:57.579
 Had an obstacle

00:25:57.579 --> 00:25:58.039
 in your life

00:25:58.039 --> 00:25:58.799
 you just can't see

00:25:58.799 --> 00:25:59.400
 how to get around?

00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:01.400
 God says

00:26:01.400 --> 00:26:02.779
 you can be an overcomer.

00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:04.700
 You might have

00:26:04.700 --> 00:26:05.420
 to take the long way.

00:26:06.059 --> 00:26:06.980
 Might be tough

00:26:06.980 --> 00:26:07.639
 going through it.

00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:09.359
 But God says

00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:11.139
 nothing is too hard

00:26:11.139 --> 00:26:12.379
 for Him.

00:26:14.299 --> 00:26:15.279
 You've got Him

00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:16.220
 if you're His child.

00:26:16.900 --> 00:26:17.200
 Now look,

00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:17.680
 if you're not

00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:18.759
 His child this morning,

00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:20.379
 then I can't help you.

00:26:20.500 --> 00:26:20.960
 You've got to take

00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:21.559
 that first step.

00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:22.839
 You have to take

00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:23.559
 that first step.

00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:25.879
 Become a child of God.

00:26:26.299 --> 00:26:26.839
 Recognize that

00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:27.439
 Jesus Christ

00:26:27.439 --> 00:26:28.159
 came and died

00:26:28.159 --> 00:26:29.019
 for your sins.

00:26:29.939 --> 00:26:30.679
 Not for anything

00:26:30.679 --> 00:26:31.299
 He did wrong,

00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:32.079
 but for your sins,

00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:32.559
 for mine.

00:26:33.919 --> 00:26:34.779
 Sacrificed His life

00:26:34.779 --> 00:26:35.359
 on the cross

00:26:35.359 --> 00:26:36.539
 and then rose

00:26:36.539 --> 00:26:37.199
 back from the dead.

00:26:37.259 --> 00:26:38.019
 We heard a wonderful

00:26:38.019 --> 00:26:39.579
 gospel presentation

00:26:39.579 --> 00:26:40.459
 from Ford Bachman

00:26:40.459 --> 00:26:41.079
 on his video

00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:41.480
 this morning

00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:42.459
 before he got baptized.

00:26:42.779 --> 00:26:43.500
 He put his faith

00:26:43.500 --> 00:26:43.799
 in that.

00:26:43.919 --> 00:26:44.759
 So many in this room

00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:45.819
 have put their faith

00:26:45.819 --> 00:26:47.459
 in the saving power

00:26:47.459 --> 00:26:48.019
 of Jesus

00:26:48.019 --> 00:26:49.079
 to forgive your sin,

00:26:49.220 --> 00:26:50.399
 to make you His child,

00:26:50.679 --> 00:26:51.439
 to give you a home

00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:52.200
 in heaven forever.

00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:53.820
 That's step number one.

00:26:53.940 --> 00:26:54.440
 And then,

00:26:54.820 --> 00:26:55.660
 God can help you

00:26:55.660 --> 00:26:56.519
 change your perspective.

00:26:57.120 --> 00:26:57.820
 God can help you

00:26:57.820 --> 00:26:59.140
 look through His lens,

00:26:59.240 --> 00:26:59.700
 not yours.

00:26:59.840 --> 00:27:00.580
 Point number two,

00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:01.720
 wow,

00:27:01.900 --> 00:27:02.580
 I am really getting

00:27:02.580 --> 00:27:03.100
 ahead of myself

00:27:03.100 --> 00:27:04.180
 and I apologize for that.

00:27:04.840 --> 00:27:05.720
 Before we get there,

00:27:05.860 --> 00:27:06.019
 oh,

00:27:06.080 --> 00:27:06.720
 that was not supposed

00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:07.180
 to be in there.

00:27:07.700 --> 00:27:08.600
 That's like an old version

00:27:08.600 --> 00:27:09.080
 of my slide.

00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:09.680
 Sorry guys,

00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:10.400
 I gave you the wrong thing.

00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:10.980
 Let's move along.

00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:11.680
 That was last week.

00:27:13.019 --> 00:27:14.100
 If you missed it last week,

00:27:14.140 --> 00:27:14.580
 it's on YouTube.

00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:15.100
 Here we go.

00:27:16.980 --> 00:27:18.240
 How do we stretch

00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:19.059
 our attitudes?

00:27:19.059 --> 00:27:21.159
 Our attitudes shape

00:27:21.159 --> 00:27:23.579
 the people around us.

00:27:23.919 --> 00:27:24.460
 Isn't that interesting?

00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:26.919
 Our attitudes do not

00:27:26.919 --> 00:27:28.339
 just shape our perspective,

00:27:28.700 --> 00:27:31.119
 they also shape our people.

00:27:32.700 --> 00:27:34.940
 They affect the people

00:27:34.940 --> 00:27:36.599
 that you care about.

00:27:37.659 --> 00:27:39.220
 I can promise you,

00:27:39.700 --> 00:27:41.399
 when I've got a rotten attitude,

00:27:41.859 --> 00:27:43.519
 everyone in my home knows it.

00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:45.720
 And Bo is like the biggest

00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:46.899
 empath in the world,

00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:47.279
 you know,

00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:48.279
 he feels deeply

00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:49.539
 and so he will come to me

00:27:49.539 --> 00:27:49.980
 and be like,

00:27:50.059 --> 00:27:50.139
 Dad,

00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:50.759
 are you stressed?

00:27:51.700 --> 00:27:52.220
 I'm like,

00:27:52.299 --> 00:27:52.599
 man,

00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:54.019
 you're too young

00:27:54.019 --> 00:27:54.859
 to be asking me that.

00:27:55.460 --> 00:27:55.819
 Yes,

00:27:55.899 --> 00:27:56.359
 I am.

00:27:56.599 --> 00:27:56.960
 Sorry.

00:27:57.599 --> 00:27:58.319
 But you know what?

00:27:58.359 --> 00:27:59.420
 It helps me start

00:27:59.420 --> 00:28:00.539
 changing my attitude

00:28:00.539 --> 00:28:01.240
 because it's like,

00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:01.480
 yeah,

00:28:01.579 --> 00:28:01.839
 you know,

00:28:01.879 --> 00:28:02.920
 it's affecting the kids

00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:03.899
 and they don't need

00:28:03.899 --> 00:28:04.779
 to carry that burden

00:28:04.779 --> 00:28:05.240
 right now.

00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:06.000
 Truth is,

00:28:06.139 --> 00:28:06.899
 I don't even need

00:28:06.899 --> 00:28:07.559
 to carry that burden

00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:07.899
 right now.

00:28:07.940 --> 00:28:08.379
 I need to give it

00:28:08.379 --> 00:28:08.980
 back to Jesus.

00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:10.079
 He's the one

00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:10.799
 who can carry it.

00:28:11.639 --> 00:28:12.559
 So our attitude

00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:14.359
 shapes our people.

00:28:15.059 --> 00:28:15.639
 Ephesians 4,

00:28:15.700 --> 00:28:16.059
 29,

00:28:16.059 --> 00:28:17.559
 do not let any

00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:18.740
 unwholesome talk

00:28:18.740 --> 00:28:20.279
 come out of your mouths

00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:21.859
 but only what is helpful

00:28:21.859 --> 00:28:23.899
 for building others up.

00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:25.899
 We talked about that

00:28:25.899 --> 00:28:26.659
 a couple weeks ago.

00:28:26.779 --> 00:28:27.579
 We talked about shaping

00:28:27.579 --> 00:28:28.279
 our talk,

00:28:28.679 --> 00:28:29.720
 building others up,

00:28:29.779 --> 00:28:30.839
 not tearing them down,

00:28:31.220 --> 00:28:32.740
 according to their needs

00:28:32.740 --> 00:28:33.919
 that it may benefit

00:28:33.919 --> 00:28:35.700
 those who listen.

00:28:35.859 --> 00:28:36.639
 I promise you,

00:28:37.019 --> 00:28:38.960
 someone is always listening.

00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:42.379
 Someone is always watching.

00:28:43.339 --> 00:28:45.099
 Someone is always affected.

00:28:45.099 --> 00:28:46.319
 And I'm not even

00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:47.539
 talking about the sense

00:28:47.539 --> 00:28:48.639
 in that someone's

00:28:48.639 --> 00:28:49.719
 checking up on you.

00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:51.879
 I'm talking about the sense

00:28:51.879 --> 00:28:53.279
 that whatever you do,

00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:53.839
 say,

00:28:54.119 --> 00:28:54.559
 think,

00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:57.439
 it affects others.

00:28:58.039 --> 00:28:58.599
 And usually,

00:28:59.099 --> 00:29:00.959
 the ones that affect the most

00:29:00.959 --> 00:29:01.839
 are the ones you care

00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:02.459
 about the most.

00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:05.839
 The ones I care about the most.

00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:09.779
 So let's benefit

00:29:09.779 --> 00:29:11.959
 those under the sound

00:29:11.959 --> 00:29:12.559
 of our voice.

00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:15.859
 Those in our circle

00:29:15.859 --> 00:29:16.559
 of influence.

00:29:18.159 --> 00:29:19.159
 The ten spies

00:29:19.159 --> 00:29:19.599
 fear,

00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:20.139
 spread,

00:29:20.299 --> 00:29:20.740
 panic.

00:29:21.579 --> 00:29:22.500
 You know what else it did?

00:29:23.459 --> 00:29:25.399
 Their negative attitude

00:29:25.399 --> 00:29:27.079
 caused Israel

00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:27.919
 to wander

00:29:27.919 --> 00:29:29.039
 in the desert

00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:31.639
 for 40 years.

00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:35.440
 But Joshua

00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:36.200
 and Caleb,

00:29:36.740 --> 00:29:38.060
 their response

00:29:38.060 --> 00:29:38.680
 was faith.

00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:40.780
 The people of Israel

00:29:40.780 --> 00:29:42.060
 still had to pay the price.

00:29:43.140 --> 00:29:43.840
 But Joshua

00:29:43.840 --> 00:29:44.500
 and Caleb

00:29:44.500 --> 00:29:46.200
 and all their families

00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:47.320
 got to go

00:29:47.320 --> 00:29:48.380
 into the promised land

00:29:48.380 --> 00:29:48.740
 someday.

00:29:50.140 --> 00:29:51.060
 Because they had faith.

00:29:52.320 --> 00:29:53.259
 Their attitude

00:29:53.259 --> 00:29:54.080
 of faith

00:29:54.080 --> 00:29:54.820
 affected

00:29:54.820 --> 00:29:56.700
 those around them

00:29:56.700 --> 00:29:57.740
 positively.

00:29:59.000 --> 00:29:59.780
 Those spies'

00:29:59.779 --> 00:30:01.019
 attitude of fear

00:30:01.019 --> 00:30:03.119
 affected all the people

00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:04.180
 negatively.

00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:07.440
 Ephesians 4.29

00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:08.019
 told us

00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:08.720
 to speak

00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:09.639
 words that

00:30:09.639 --> 00:30:10.599
 build up,

00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:12.539
 not tear down.

00:30:12.879 --> 00:30:13.839
 Can I tell you something?

00:30:14.379 --> 00:30:14.920
 Attitudes

00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:16.339
 are contagious.

00:30:17.259 --> 00:30:18.299
 You saw what happened

00:30:18.299 --> 00:30:19.339
 with the children of Israel.

00:30:19.819 --> 00:30:20.379
 Those guys

00:30:20.379 --> 00:30:21.039
 started telling

00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:21.859
 their tall tales

00:30:21.859 --> 00:30:23.240
 of just how bad it was

00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:24.460
 and they're going to get eaten

00:30:24.460 --> 00:30:25.339
 and all that stuff.

00:30:25.619 --> 00:30:26.299
 And what happened?

00:30:26.379 --> 00:30:26.960
 The people

00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:27.740
 lost it.

00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:29.220
 They freaked out.

00:30:29.220 --> 00:30:30.299
 That attitude

00:30:30.299 --> 00:30:31.240
 was contagious

00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:32.000
 and it spread

00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:32.839
 like wildfire

00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:33.519
 through the people.

00:30:34.779 --> 00:30:35.740
 So if attitudes

00:30:35.740 --> 00:30:36.360
 are contagious,

00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:37.680
 make yours worth catching.

00:30:38.380 --> 00:30:39.360
 Caleb and Joshua's

00:30:39.360 --> 00:30:40.100
 attitude was worth

00:30:40.100 --> 00:30:40.900
 catching that day.

00:30:42.059 --> 00:30:42.880
 Not too many

00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:43.319
 caught it.

00:30:44.660 --> 00:30:44.900
 So,

00:30:45.299 --> 00:30:46.700
 look at the person

00:30:46.700 --> 00:30:47.220
 next to you,

00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:47.539
 would you?

00:30:50.180 --> 00:30:50.660
 Say,

00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:51.380
 watch your attitude

00:30:51.380 --> 00:30:51.880
 around me.

00:30:54.059 --> 00:30:54.680
 Come on,

00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:55.220
 y'all can do it.

00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:55.400
 Say,

00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:56.200
 watch your attitude

00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:56.819
 around me.

00:30:56.819 --> 00:30:59.559
 I don't want

00:30:59.559 --> 00:30:59.879
 to catch

00:30:59.879 --> 00:31:00.759
 your bad attitude.

00:31:02.579 --> 00:31:03.240
 The kids

00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:03.559
 are having

00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:04.399
 way too much fun

00:31:04.399 --> 00:31:04.819
 saying this

00:31:04.819 --> 00:31:05.319
 to their parents,

00:31:05.419 --> 00:31:05.539
 man.

00:31:07.980 --> 00:31:08.720
 Bible says

00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:09.619
 respect your parents,

00:31:09.679 --> 00:31:09.879
 alright?

00:31:10.139 --> 00:31:10.559
 Honor them.

00:31:12.379 --> 00:31:13.079
 But listen,

00:31:13.220 --> 00:31:14.059
 sometimes parents,

00:31:14.179 --> 00:31:14.679
 we got to watch

00:31:14.679 --> 00:31:15.119
 our attitudes

00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:15.859
 around our kids.

00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:17.839
 Sometimes kids,

00:31:17.919 --> 00:31:18.480
 you got to watch

00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:18.879
 your attitude

00:31:18.879 --> 00:31:19.799
 around your parents

00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:21.000
 or around your siblings

00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:22.059
 or around your friends.

00:31:22.059 --> 00:31:24.259
 sometimes parents,

00:31:24.339 --> 00:31:24.819
 we got to watch

00:31:24.819 --> 00:31:25.279
 our attitudes

00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:26.059
 around each other.

00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:28.159
 We got to watch

00:31:28.159 --> 00:31:28.639
 our attitudes

00:31:28.639 --> 00:31:29.799
 in moments of conflict,

00:31:30.179 --> 00:31:31.039
 moments of disagreement.

00:31:32.099 --> 00:31:33.119
 Watch your attitude

00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:33.799
 around me.

00:31:34.179 --> 00:31:34.440
 Why?

00:31:34.879 --> 00:31:35.819
 Because it's contagious.

00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:37.700
 Because it can affect

00:31:37.700 --> 00:31:38.859
 so much.

00:31:39.899 --> 00:31:40.579
 It not only

00:31:40.579 --> 00:31:41.579
 affects your perspective,

00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:42.980
 it affects the people

00:31:42.980 --> 00:31:44.200
 around you.

00:31:44.579 --> 00:31:45.419
 And then number three,

00:31:45.819 --> 00:31:46.379
 your attitude

00:31:46.379 --> 00:31:48.460
 shapes your path.

00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:50.099
 It shapes

00:31:50.099 --> 00:31:50.819
 where you're going.

00:31:50.819 --> 00:31:51.879
 It shapes

00:31:51.879 --> 00:31:52.539
 what you're heading,

00:31:52.700 --> 00:31:53.419
 where you're heading.

00:31:54.539 --> 00:31:55.119
 Anybody like

00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:55.720
 Patti LaBelle?

00:31:58.419 --> 00:31:59.119
 Nobody likes

00:31:59.119 --> 00:31:59.639
 Patti LaBelle

00:31:59.639 --> 00:32:00.000
 in that room.

00:32:00.059 --> 00:32:00.539
 Okay, alright,

00:32:00.619 --> 00:32:01.099
 thank you.

00:32:01.220 --> 00:32:01.500
 Penny,

00:32:01.859 --> 00:32:02.960
 count on somebody.

00:32:04.259 --> 00:32:04.939
 I'm feeling good

00:32:04.939 --> 00:32:05.379
 from my head

00:32:05.379 --> 00:32:05.980
 to my shoes,

00:32:06.099 --> 00:32:06.759
 know where I'm going

00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:07.639
 and I know what to do.

00:32:07.779 --> 00:32:08.339
 I tidied up

00:32:08.339 --> 00:32:09.139
 my point of view.

00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:09.960
 I got a

00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:12.659
 new attitude.

00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:13.399
 There you go,

00:32:13.460 --> 00:32:13.679
 alright.

00:32:14.339 --> 00:32:14.980
 Nobody listens

00:32:14.980 --> 00:32:15.439
 to that stuff.

00:32:15.500 --> 00:32:15.919
 That's alright.

00:32:16.919 --> 00:32:17.179
 Listen,

00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:17.659
 I went through

00:32:17.659 --> 00:32:18.179
 that song,

00:32:18.259 --> 00:32:18.559
 I was like,

00:32:18.599 --> 00:32:19.159
 is there anything

00:32:19.159 --> 00:32:19.980
 wicked or unbiblical

00:32:19.980 --> 00:32:20.559
 in this song?

00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:20.779
 We're like,

00:32:20.819 --> 00:32:20.940
 no,

00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:21.379
 alright,

00:32:21.460 --> 00:32:21.819
 we're safe.

00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:23.519
 Look,

00:32:23.579 --> 00:32:24.059
 did you catch

00:32:24.059 --> 00:32:24.799
 that line though?

00:32:25.099 --> 00:32:25.799
 That's a silly

00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:26.919
 kind of example,

00:32:27.099 --> 00:32:27.679
 but did you catch

00:32:27.679 --> 00:32:28.119
 that line,

00:32:28.220 --> 00:32:29.119
 I know where I'm going

00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:30.139
 and I know what to do.

00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:30.379
 Why?

00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:30.980
 Because I got

00:32:30.980 --> 00:32:31.559
 a new attitude.

00:32:31.919 --> 00:32:32.480
 You know when you

00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:33.419
 usually don't know

00:32:33.419 --> 00:32:34.000
 where you're going

00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:34.740
 or what to do

00:32:34.740 --> 00:32:35.559
 is when you got

00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:36.279
 a rotten attitude

00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:36.940
 about life.

00:32:37.679 --> 00:32:38.139
 And that's when

00:32:38.139 --> 00:32:38.539
 you're kind of

00:32:38.539 --> 00:32:39.220
 sitting around like,

00:32:39.299 --> 00:32:39.819
 I don't know

00:32:39.819 --> 00:32:40.460
 what to do.

00:32:41.299 --> 00:32:41.559
 Like,

00:32:41.619 --> 00:32:41.819
 no,

00:32:41.879 --> 00:32:42.619
 but God does.

00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:43.859
 If you start

00:32:43.859 --> 00:32:44.279
 looking through

00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:45.460
 the lens of the Holy Spirit,

00:32:45.539 --> 00:32:46.019
 all of a sudden

00:32:46.019 --> 00:32:46.720
 He tells you

00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:47.119
 what to do.

00:32:47.259 --> 00:32:48.159
 The next thing is,

00:32:48.539 --> 00:32:49.139
 go make up

00:32:49.140 --> 00:32:49.720
 with your wife.

00:32:49.840 --> 00:32:50.300
 Go make up

00:32:50.300 --> 00:32:50.900
 with your kids.

00:32:51.100 --> 00:32:51.600
 Go make up

00:32:51.600 --> 00:32:52.020
 with your brother

00:32:52.020 --> 00:32:52.900
 or sister in Christ.

00:32:53.520 --> 00:32:54.440
 Go open the Bible

00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:55.020
 and read it.

00:32:56.040 --> 00:32:57.300
 Go for a walk.

00:32:57.880 --> 00:32:58.480
 The dog probably

00:32:58.480 --> 00:32:58.960
 wants to.

00:33:00.360 --> 00:33:01.420
 God will help you

00:33:01.420 --> 00:33:02.020
 figure out

00:33:02.020 --> 00:33:03.040
 what to do next.

00:33:03.140 --> 00:33:03.900
 It'll shape

00:33:03.900 --> 00:33:04.860
 your path.

00:33:05.080 --> 00:33:05.600
 And usually

00:33:05.600 --> 00:33:06.280
 what God's going

00:33:06.280 --> 00:33:06.660
 to do

00:33:06.660 --> 00:33:07.460
 is give you

00:33:07.460 --> 00:33:08.620
 the next thing,

00:33:08.840 --> 00:33:09.880
 not the next

00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:10.780
 hundred things

00:33:10.780 --> 00:33:11.280
 that's going to

00:33:11.280 --> 00:33:12.080
 take you ten years

00:33:12.080 --> 00:33:12.620
 to accomplish.

00:33:13.100 --> 00:33:14.080
 He's got all that

00:33:14.080 --> 00:33:14.820
 figured out,

00:33:15.460 --> 00:33:16.480
 but your attitude

00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:17.580
 day in

00:33:17.580 --> 00:33:18.259
 and day out,

00:33:18.259 --> 00:33:20.000
 moment by moment

00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:20.900
 will shape

00:33:20.900 --> 00:33:21.500
 the path

00:33:21.500 --> 00:33:22.619
 that you're on.

00:33:23.940 --> 00:33:24.299
 So,

00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:25.359
 Romans chapter 8

00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:26.000
 and verse 6,

00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:28.119
 the mind governed

00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:29.619
 by the flesh

00:33:29.619 --> 00:33:30.539
 is death,

00:33:31.059 --> 00:33:31.960
 but the mind

00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:32.559
 governed

00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:33.500
 by the Spirit

00:33:33.500 --> 00:33:34.660
 is life

00:33:34.660 --> 00:33:35.200
 and peace.

00:33:35.339 --> 00:33:36.160
 I love that

00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:36.599
 it uses

00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:37.720
 the word governed.

00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:39.900
 We've got some

00:33:39.900 --> 00:33:40.720
 people in the room

00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:41.160
 who are in

00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:41.879
 county government.

00:33:43.019 --> 00:33:43.819
 We've got some

00:33:43.819 --> 00:33:44.559
 people in the room

00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:45.039
 who are in

00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:45.839
 school government.

00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:46.379
 We've got some

00:33:46.379 --> 00:33:47.420
 people who understand

00:33:47.420 --> 00:33:48.360
 firsthand what

00:33:48.360 --> 00:33:49.680
 governing is.

00:33:51.100 --> 00:33:52.259
 It's a legal

00:33:52.259 --> 00:33:52.740
 term.

00:33:54.320 --> 00:33:55.220
 Whose laws

00:33:55.220 --> 00:33:56.140
 are you living

00:33:56.140 --> 00:33:56.600
 by?

00:33:57.380 --> 00:33:58.240
 Whose laws

00:33:58.240 --> 00:33:59.039
 are governing

00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:00.060
 your mind?

00:34:00.779 --> 00:34:01.539
 Is it your

00:34:01.539 --> 00:34:01.860
 own?

00:34:02.580 --> 00:34:03.700
 Is it mine?

00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:06.580
 Is it society's?

00:34:06.800 --> 00:34:07.519
 Is it culture?

00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:09.860
 What's governing

00:34:09.860 --> 00:34:10.200
 you?

00:34:11.200 --> 00:34:11.880
 Your weaknesses?

00:34:12.260 --> 00:34:12.820
 Your flesh?

00:34:13.619 --> 00:34:14.240
 Your rotten

00:34:14.240 --> 00:34:14.619
 attitude?

00:34:14.619 --> 00:34:16.219
 The mind

00:34:16.219 --> 00:34:16.779
 governed

00:34:16.779 --> 00:34:17.880
 by the Spirit

00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:18.980
 equals

00:34:18.980 --> 00:34:19.799
 life

00:34:19.799 --> 00:34:20.900
 and peace.

00:34:23.839 --> 00:34:24.519
 We're all

00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:25.139
 chasing peace,

00:34:25.219 --> 00:34:25.480
 aren't we?

00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:27.019
 We all just

00:34:27.019 --> 00:34:27.359
 want that

00:34:27.359 --> 00:34:27.900
 inner peace.

00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:29.199
 Gurus

00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:30.059
 and shamans

00:34:30.059 --> 00:34:30.859
 and everybody

00:34:30.859 --> 00:34:31.420
 out there,

00:34:31.619 --> 00:34:32.139
 self-help

00:34:32.139 --> 00:34:32.599
 people,

00:34:32.739 --> 00:34:33.000
 they're all

00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:33.380
 trying to

00:34:33.380 --> 00:34:33.699
 figure out

00:34:33.699 --> 00:34:34.019
 how to get

00:34:34.019 --> 00:34:34.539
 inner peace.

00:34:35.940 --> 00:34:36.480
 Jesus

00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:38.000
 is the

00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:38.739
 only way

00:34:38.739 --> 00:34:39.719
 to find

00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:40.059
 peace.

00:34:40.059 --> 00:34:41.380
 God

00:34:41.380 --> 00:34:41.920
 gave us

00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:42.440
 his Spirit

00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:43.279
 to walk

00:34:43.279 --> 00:34:43.699
 with us

00:34:43.699 --> 00:34:44.739
 every moment,

00:34:44.980 --> 00:34:45.599
 never leaves

00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:45.900
 us.

00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:47.500
 So let

00:34:47.500 --> 00:34:48.239
 him govern

00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:49.139
 your mind.

00:34:49.259 --> 00:34:50.679
 And that's

00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:51.719
 kind of how I

00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:52.179
 want to close

00:34:52.179 --> 00:34:52.639
 this morning.

00:34:53.539 --> 00:34:54.340
 Whose laws

00:34:54.340 --> 00:34:55.360
 are you living

00:34:55.360 --> 00:34:55.639
 by?

00:34:56.440 --> 00:34:57.079
 Or we could

00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:57.659
 ask it this

00:34:57.659 --> 00:34:58.239
 way.

00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:00.159
 What lens

00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:00.840
 are you looking

00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:01.139
 through?

00:35:03.059 --> 00:35:03.500
 Christopher,

00:35:03.659 --> 00:35:04.099
 thanks for being

00:35:04.099 --> 00:35:04.559
 a good sport

00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:04.820
 up here.

00:35:05.900 --> 00:35:06.539
 He's still

00:35:06.539 --> 00:35:06.920
 looking through

00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:07.420
 those lenses.

00:35:07.420 --> 00:35:10.019
 It was a

00:35:10.019 --> 00:35:10.360
 little bright

00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:10.700
 in the room,

00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:11.059
 wasn't it?

00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:11.480
 Now it's all

00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:11.780
 darker,

00:35:11.900 --> 00:35:12.079
 yeah.

00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:14.180
 The lenses

00:35:14.180 --> 00:35:14.639
 make a

00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:15.019
 difference.

00:35:15.740 --> 00:35:16.480
 That cityscape

00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:17.200
 is so blurry

00:35:17.200 --> 00:35:18.300
 until you put

00:35:18.300 --> 00:35:18.840
 on the

00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:19.800
 correct lenses.

00:35:22.059 --> 00:35:22.519
 Change

00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:23.200
 your lens,

00:35:24.200 --> 00:35:24.700
 change

00:35:24.700 --> 00:35:25.500
 your life.

00:35:26.159 --> 00:35:26.740
 That's our

00:35:26.740 --> 00:35:27.280
 takeaway this

00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:27.500
 morning.

00:35:28.139 --> 00:35:28.740
 Change your

00:35:28.740 --> 00:35:29.180
 lens,

00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:30.240
 change your

00:35:30.240 --> 00:35:30.579
 life.

00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:31.680
 It's my

00:35:31.680 --> 00:35:32.240
 challenge to

00:35:32.240 --> 00:35:32.700
 all of you,

00:35:33.019 --> 00:35:33.559
 to all of

00:35:33.559 --> 00:35:33.860
 us.

00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:34.920
 Whatever

00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:35.659
 is going

00:35:35.659 --> 00:35:36.039
 on,

00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:37.400
 it doesn't

00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:38.059
 really

00:35:38.059 --> 00:35:38.539
 matter.

00:35:39.700 --> 00:35:40.260
 What

00:35:40.260 --> 00:35:41.119
 triggers me

00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:41.880
 is different

00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:42.320
 than what

00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:42.920
 might trigger

00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:43.260
 you.

00:35:44.500 --> 00:35:45.180
 When the

00:35:45.180 --> 00:35:45.579
 longhorns

00:35:45.579 --> 00:35:45.940
 lose,

00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:46.300
 I get

00:35:46.300 --> 00:35:46.639
 triggered,

00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:47.079
 all right?

00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:48.960
 But there's

00:35:48.960 --> 00:35:49.700
 serious stuff,

00:35:49.740 --> 00:35:50.220
 isn't there?

00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:51.619
 If everything's

00:35:51.619 --> 00:35:52.480
 not okay with

00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:53.000
 me and my

00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:53.360
 wife,

00:35:53.420 --> 00:35:53.840
 I get

00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:54.260
 triggered.

00:35:54.740 --> 00:35:55.220
 She knows

00:35:55.220 --> 00:35:55.519
 that.

00:35:56.500 --> 00:35:56.980
 It's like,

00:35:57.019 --> 00:35:57.400
 I gotta have

00:35:57.400 --> 00:35:57.980
 everything okay.

00:35:58.900 --> 00:35:59.960
 I don't need

00:35:59.960 --> 00:36:00.559
 to be looking

00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:01.440
 through my

00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:02.240
 lens at that

00:36:02.240 --> 00:36:02.559
 moment.

00:36:02.680 --> 00:36:03.240
 I need to be

00:36:03.240 --> 00:36:03.639
 looking through

00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:04.280
 the lens of

00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:04.980
 the Holy Spirit.

00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:05.920
 So moment

00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:06.700
 by moment,

00:36:06.699 --> 00:36:07.579
 whatever the

00:36:07.579 --> 00:36:08.339
 conflict is,

00:36:08.579 --> 00:36:09.419
 whatever triggers

00:36:09.419 --> 00:36:09.699
 you,

00:36:09.980 --> 00:36:10.679
 whatever's going

00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:12.559
 on in your

00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:13.480
 little world,

00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:14.879
 give it to

00:36:14.879 --> 00:36:15.719
 Jesus and

00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:15.899
 say,

00:36:15.980 --> 00:36:16.239
 God,

00:36:16.539 --> 00:36:17.439
 change my

00:36:17.439 --> 00:36:18.019
 lens.

00:36:18.399 --> 00:36:19.079
 Change my

00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:19.599
 lens right

00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:19.879
 now.

00:36:20.099 --> 00:36:20.779
 I might be

00:36:20.779 --> 00:36:21.199
 looking through

00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:21.579
 a blurry

00:36:21.579 --> 00:36:22.359
 lens and it's

00:36:22.359 --> 00:36:22.799
 distorted.

00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:23.859
 I'm not seeing

00:36:23.859 --> 00:36:24.319
 an accurate

00:36:24.319 --> 00:36:24.960
 picture of

00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:25.639
 this situation.

00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:26.659
 I might be

00:36:26.659 --> 00:36:27.279
 looking through

00:36:27.279 --> 00:36:28.439
 a polarized

00:36:28.439 --> 00:36:29.139
 lens and

00:36:29.139 --> 00:36:29.559
 everything's a

00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:30.119
 little darker

00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:30.899
 and it changes

00:36:30.899 --> 00:36:31.779
 the color and

00:36:31.779 --> 00:36:32.859
 things just

00:36:32.859 --> 00:36:33.619
 don't look

00:36:33.619 --> 00:36:35.719
 as good as

00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:36.199
 I know you

00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:36.759
 really are.

00:36:38.579 --> 00:36:39.299
 So God,

00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:40.339
 change my

00:36:40.339 --> 00:36:40.759
 lens.

00:36:41.299 --> 00:36:41.579
 Would you

00:36:41.579 --> 00:36:42.039
 make that your

00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:42.400
 prayer this

00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:42.619
 morning?

00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:43.199
 Would you

00:36:43.199 --> 00:36:43.460
 bow your

00:36:43.460 --> 00:36:43.759
 heads with

00:36:43.759 --> 00:36:44.059
 me right

00:36:44.059 --> 00:36:44.259
 now?

00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:46.079
 I've been

00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:46.639
 trying to give

00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:47.000
 you a little

00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:47.619
 prayer to say

00:36:47.619 --> 00:36:47.960
 and listen,

00:36:48.059 --> 00:36:48.539
 this is not

00:36:48.539 --> 00:36:49.400
 anything magical,

00:36:49.579 --> 00:36:49.980
 it's just

00:36:49.980 --> 00:36:51.420
 helping you

00:36:51.420 --> 00:36:52.119
 out if you

00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:52.699
 need that.

00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:53.359
 So I'll

00:36:53.359 --> 00:36:53.900
 give you this

00:36:53.900 --> 00:36:54.440
 right now and

00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:54.880
 if you'd like

00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:55.440
 to pray it in

00:36:55.440 --> 00:36:55.799
 your heart,

00:36:55.859 --> 00:36:56.219
 if you'd like

00:36:56.219 --> 00:36:56.619
 to pray it

00:36:56.619 --> 00:36:56.980
 out loud,

00:36:57.079 --> 00:36:57.500
 you can do

00:36:57.500 --> 00:36:57.880
 this.

00:36:58.920 --> 00:36:59.299
 God,

00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:00.259
 help me see

00:37:00.260 --> 00:37:01.600
 through the

00:37:01.600 --> 00:37:02.080
 lens of

00:37:02.080 --> 00:37:02.820
 trusting you.

00:37:05.160 --> 00:37:05.840
 I'll say it

00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:06.320
 one more time

00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:06.660
 if you need

00:37:06.660 --> 00:37:06.960
 to hear it

00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:07.180
 again.

00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:07.560
 God,

00:37:07.620 --> 00:37:08.440
 help me see

00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:09.640
 through the

00:37:09.640 --> 00:37:10.380
 lens of

00:37:10.380 --> 00:37:11.100
 trusting you.

00:37:13.160 --> 00:37:13.860
 Change my

00:37:13.860 --> 00:37:14.940
 attitude and

00:37:14.940 --> 00:37:15.580
 change my

00:37:15.580 --> 00:37:15.940
 life.

00:37:17.560 --> 00:37:18.220
 Change my

00:37:18.220 --> 00:37:19.540
 attitude and

00:37:19.540 --> 00:37:20.440
 change my

00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:20.780
 life.

00:37:21.260 --> 00:37:21.960
 In Jesus'

00:37:22.160 --> 00:37:22.340
 name,

00:37:22.860 --> 00:37:23.060
 amen.

00:37:23.300 --> 00:37:23.520
 God,

00:37:23.580 --> 00:37:24.020
 that is what

00:37:24.020 --> 00:37:24.680
 we pray for

00:37:24.680 --> 00:37:26.140
 in this room.

00:37:26.139 --> 00:37:26.219
 God,

00:37:27.420 --> 00:37:30.039
 there are

00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:30.440
 people who

00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:30.759
 don't know

00:37:30.759 --> 00:37:31.319
 you personally

00:37:31.319 --> 00:37:31.819
 as Savior

00:37:31.819 --> 00:37:32.400
 in this room.

00:37:32.500 --> 00:37:33.379
 I believe

00:37:33.379 --> 00:37:33.920
 that in a

00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:34.480
 group this

00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:34.859
 size,

00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:36.900
 it'd be

00:37:36.900 --> 00:37:37.279
 foolish to

00:37:37.279 --> 00:37:37.739
 think otherwise.

00:37:39.279 --> 00:37:39.779
 I'm sure

00:37:39.779 --> 00:37:40.219
 the majority

00:37:40.219 --> 00:37:40.579
 of the people

00:37:40.579 --> 00:37:40.920
 in the room

00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:41.259
 would raise

00:37:41.259 --> 00:37:41.559
 their hand

00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:41.839
 and say,

00:37:41.940 --> 00:37:42.119
 yes,

00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:42.519
 I'm a

00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:43.579
 Christ follower.

00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:44.679
 I do my

00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:45.000
 best to

00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:45.539
 follow Jesus.

00:37:46.279 --> 00:37:46.819
 Truth is,

00:37:46.859 --> 00:37:47.119
 we don't

00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:47.539
 always do

00:37:47.539 --> 00:37:47.980
 our best.

00:37:50.259 --> 00:37:50.839
 But God,

00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:51.219
 we just

00:37:51.219 --> 00:37:51.599
 don't want

00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:52.139
 to say no.

00:37:52.579 --> 00:37:52.920
 We want

00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:53.400
 to get to

00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:53.839
 that amount

00:37:53.839 --> 00:37:54.179
 of faith

00:37:54.179 --> 00:37:54.659
 where we say

00:37:54.659 --> 00:37:55.079
 yes to

00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:55.559
 whatever you're

00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:55.879
 telling us

00:37:55.879 --> 00:37:56.119
 to do.

00:37:56.779 --> 00:37:57.339
 There might

00:37:57.339 --> 00:37:57.759
 be somebody

00:37:57.759 --> 00:37:58.339
 in the room

00:37:58.339 --> 00:38:00.299
 who needs

00:38:00.299 --> 00:38:00.739
 to put on

00:38:00.739 --> 00:38:01.099
 the lens

00:38:01.099 --> 00:38:01.400
 of your

00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:01.900
 Holy Spirit

00:38:01.900 --> 00:38:02.299
 and say,

00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:02.940
 I see

00:38:02.940 --> 00:38:04.259
 how God

00:38:04.259 --> 00:38:04.639
 wants me

00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:04.940
 to see

00:38:04.940 --> 00:38:05.259
 this.

00:38:05.879 --> 00:38:06.159
 I'm going

00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:06.500
 to stop

00:38:06.500 --> 00:38:06.920
 looking at

00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:07.119
 it through

00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:07.440
 the lens

00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:07.759
 of my

00:38:07.759 --> 00:38:08.279
 selfishness,

00:38:08.359 --> 00:38:08.920
 my pride,

00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:10.559
 my self-centeredness,

00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:12.019
 my lack

00:38:12.019 --> 00:38:12.679
 of experience,

00:38:12.819 --> 00:38:13.199
 my lack

00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:13.719
 of wisdom.

00:38:14.339 --> 00:38:14.659
 God,

00:38:14.759 --> 00:38:15.039
 you're the

00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:15.599
 fountain of

00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:16.279
 all that,

00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:17.699
 so let me

00:38:17.699 --> 00:38:18.179
 see through

00:38:18.179 --> 00:38:18.960
 your lens

00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:19.859
 and trust

00:38:19.859 --> 00:38:20.599
 you

00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:22.159
 in this

00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:22.639
 situation.

00:38:22.759 --> 00:38:23.079
 How many

00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:23.319
 of you would

00:38:23.319 --> 00:38:23.639
 raise your

00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:24.039
 hand and say

00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:24.500
 there's something

00:38:24.500 --> 00:38:25.000
 going on in

00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:25.480
 my life

00:38:25.480 --> 00:38:26.480
 that I need

00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:26.960
 to trust

00:38:26.960 --> 00:38:27.599
 God in

00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:28.519
 and ask

00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:29.039
 him to help

00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:29.699
 my perspective

00:38:29.699 --> 00:38:30.039
 on it,

00:38:30.099 --> 00:38:30.519
 change my

00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:31.099
 attitude on it.

00:38:31.099 --> 00:38:31.320
 Would you

00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:31.719
 slip your hand

00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:32.179
 up right now?

00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:33.320
 Thank you.

00:38:33.639 --> 00:38:34.079
 Thank you.

00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:34.880
 Thank you.

00:38:35.380 --> 00:38:35.800
 Thank you.

00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:37.280
 Some of you are

00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:37.940
 in prayer and I don't

00:38:37.940 --> 00:38:38.519
 want to disturb you

00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:38.860
 from that.

00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:39.260
 Would you just

00:38:39.260 --> 00:38:39.820
 keep your seats

00:38:39.820 --> 00:38:40.400
 for a moment?

00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:43.000
 Linda's praying.

00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:43.860
 If you need somebody

00:38:43.860 --> 00:38:44.719
 to come pray with,

00:38:44.860 --> 00:38:45.440
 Jared and I are

00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:45.820
 up here,

00:38:46.300 --> 00:38:46.719
 you can come

00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:47.300
 grab us.

00:38:47.739 --> 00:38:48.059
 If you need

00:38:48.059 --> 00:38:48.559
 to turn around

00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:48.840
 and kneel

00:38:48.840 --> 00:38:49.360
 in your seat,

00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:51.260
 do that.

00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:51.699
 If you need

00:38:51.699 --> 00:38:52.340
 to come kneel

00:38:52.340 --> 00:38:53.059
 at these steps,

00:38:53.179 --> 00:38:53.619
 do that.

00:38:54.460 --> 00:38:54.940
 Whatever you

00:38:54.940 --> 00:38:55.280
 need to do

00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:55.820
 to do business

00:38:55.820 --> 00:38:56.280
 with God

00:38:56.280 --> 00:38:57.599
 for just a

00:38:57.599 --> 00:38:57.780
 moment.

00:38:57.780 --> 00:38:57.860
 Amen.

00:38:57.860 --> 00:38:57.920
 Amen.

00:38:57.920 --> 00:38:58.119
 Amen.

00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.119


00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.119


00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.119


00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.119


00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.119


00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.119


00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.119


00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.119


00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.119


00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.119


00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.119


00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.119


00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.119


00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.119


00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.119


00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:58.119


00:38:58.119 --> 00:39:00.119
 Amen.
