[00:00:01] Speaker A: Good morning. Good morning. How are you?
On another fine, fine but youthful day. I hope you're having a great day today, and I hope you are excited today, because today is a day that the Lord hath made. We will be glad. We will rejoice in it. Rejoice in every single moment that you have under the sun in this cosmos, in this arrangement. Be thankful, be happy. Continually give God that sacrifice is praise. Praise him and thank him. Be joyful. Be joyous. Take the time, time to thank God. Today. It's a sacrifice of praise when the only sacrifice he asked for. I just read the other day, though.
[00:00:34] Speaker B: There is like the.
[00:00:35] Speaker A: There is another sacrifice.
[00:00:36] Speaker B: Crazy.
[00:00:37] Speaker A: But I want to go into this. I was reading this morning and I haven't done this again for a while. But this is one of those, those. Those goodies. If you find verses in the Word and you find specific scripture that helps you, that guides you where you. Where you recognize. Hey, I don't. I. My natural instinct isn't this, but it says to do this, therefore I'm going to do it. When you find those things in a word, you got to stick to them. And you got to work on your mind to change your mind to what the Word says, because it will cause effect.
If you go to Philippians, chapter 4, verse 4, it says, Rejoice or be delighted and pleased in the Lord always. And again I say rejoice. I think it's really interesting in here. The Lord, there's. There's many different verses for the Lord and they translated it all the same way. This is the master Christ Jesus. So rejoice always in the master Christ Jesus or Jesus Christ always. And again I say rejoice or be pleased. We have been given the opportunity to live spiritually. Christ died in order that you can live free. Not under law, not by being judged. You have the freedom to go where one wants, stand firm in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free. And be not entangled with the weight or the yoke of the bondage, which is the servitude to the law, you have been freed from that. And it's all. The dividing line is Christ Jesus. Once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, Romans 10, 9 and 10, that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart, that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved or preserved safe. Period. There is nothing after that.
Okay, going back to this verse 5, let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord Christ Jesus is A hand.
He broke down the middle wall of the partition between the Jews and the Gentiles, where we can all be part of one spiritual body, where Christ is the head. It's God, then Christ and then all of us.
It's. It's just wonderful that that's the position that we've been put in.
This is the verse I was talking about. Verse 6. Be anxious for not one thing.
This is not easy to do in life. You gotta stick to a verse and you gotta apply it and believe it. Even if your mind tells you no.
I mean, I can go over many times in my life, but like, if you don't have enough money to pay the bills next month, you gotta not be anxious for one thing. You can't steady your mind on that anxious thought. It's not out. From the origins of God. He feeds again once you start. Once you know the word, you know where it talks about, let your mind be in the kingdom of heaven. Keep it up there. He knows. God knows. He takes care of his entire creation. You don't think he's going to take care of you. The birds don't store meat, they don't store for the winter. He takes care of his creation. He certainly is going to take care of you. Be anxious for not one thing, but in all things by prayers. And these are specific prayers to God. This is. This is not prayers to Christ Jesus. And that's why I say that the word is specific, especially the New Testament, the most specific language has ever been created, written in. But in all things by prayers to God and supplication, which are prayers of personal need. With thanksgiving, let your specific request be declared unto God. And I love all this specific. You are not to pray in repetition, which is ironic because a lot of people do, and it's wrong.
This stuff is written in it. You gotta follow what the Word says, not man's theology. You pray to God specific prayers of personal need, lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ. And that will guard you from those fears. Verse 7. And the peace of God once you pray, and the peace of God surpassing all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Again, heart, is this the seat of your specific, the seat of your distinctive character. The things you think about again make you you. And the thoughts are what is in the mind. And it talks about not only what is in your mind, but the emotional revolvings of the mind.
It will guard you from your emotional state.
God has protected us and protects in all ways you can think about, in all manners of Your life. God is there. God is greater than your heart. He is there for you, and it's just. You gotta turn towards him. Let that light be applied into your mind and applied into your heart. Let it melt. Don't get a hard neck. Melt towards the word of God, what it says, and start to believe. Have faith again, faith is specifically believing what you hear. You gotta hear the Word. You gotta apply the word you got. You got to change your thoughts. You got to think about the things that are good, and you got to start to live spiritually, which is what the Word directs you to do. Finally, brethren, verse eight. Whatsoever things are true and honest and just and lovely and pure and of good report, if there be any virtue and praise, think on these things. If you're not thinking on what's good and pure, you are not thinking on what God tells you to think about.
Control your mind. Your mind is not in control of you. You are in control of your mind, of your thoughts. You change what you think on in life and you start to apply what the Word says.
Don't be anxious for one thing. Have a beautiful day today. Pray the big prayers lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. Again, when you pray, you pray to God, not to Jesus Christ. You pray to God. You lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a beautiful day today. God bless you and your family, and.
[00:06:59] Speaker B: I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much just for everything you do for us. I. I just. I thank you so much for the way you set everything up and for your son that we can live this way, and how much your word blesses me and keeps my mind straight.
[00:07:25] Speaker A: Father.
[00:07:25] Speaker B: And I'm thankful for the family I have, for the moments I have, for the life I have. And I just pray for each and every one of our employees. I also pray for all the product that's going out, that the people that receive it are blessed. And again, I thank you for the moments of my life. I lift up a great day to you in the name of my Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.
