[00:00:01] Good morning. Good morning. How are you on this fine, fine, beautiful day? I hope you're having a great day today and I hope you are excited today.
[00:00:13] Today is the day that the Lord hath made. We'll 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. Praise. Praise him and thank him.
[00:00:27] Still stressing about this sofa. And yesterday I talked about how, you know, you gotta pray about it and ask God to take care of it. And I asked God to take care of it, and I wanted it done yesterday, and it didn't get done yesterday.
[00:00:38] You know what I mean? So what do you do?
[00:00:41] You gotta just go and you gotta just thank God, ask him to take care of it. Ask him to handle it and move forward. If you, you know, God is gonna decide the times he's gonna decide. I mean, there's a reason why everything kind of happens and it might be again, he sets the day side by side in order that we find nothing past him. I mean, not only do we have to finish this sofa, yesterday I found out that there's four or five more chairs that need. That, like, the foam needs to be cut and stuff. And, you know, the pressure's mounting, mounting, mounting, mounting. But what are you gonna do?
[00:01:16] There is no. God does not want to give you the spirit of fear. So, like, as these thoughts are coming into my head, like this guy, get done. And I feel the weight stacking.
[00:01:26] You gotta go to God, thank him. Pray that it gets done. And get it done.
[00:01:33] You get it done. God is gonna take care of it. And he sets those days side by side in order that we find nothing passive. There's also a season. There's a time for every season. You know what? You know what?
[00:01:44] I'll go over that if you go to. Ecclesiastes, chapter 3, verse 1. It says, to everything there is an appointed time and a season. To every purpose under heaven there's a season or a time to be born, and there's a time to die. There's a time to plant, and there's a time to pluck up that which is planted. It is beyond the power of man to change the appointed time of God.
[00:02:07] And maybe, maybe today. I have no idea why this is happening right now. But God cares.
[00:02:14] He cares what's happening with me right now. He cares what's happening in my life. He cares that I'm taking on this pressure that doesn't need to Be taken on. The thing is, is it's. We're gonna get through it. I'm gonna get through it. It's gonna get done. It's gonna be beautiful. We're gonna deliver this stuff. The customers are gonna be happy.
[00:02:32] I believe that it's gonna be done. But it's about what do you do in your mind as this stuff goes? Do you freak out?
[00:02:40] Do you constantly re. What is that? I don't know what the word is. Where you just keep bringing it back to remembrance over and over and over and over again. If you stand on a place where. Where like I think about this chair and every single minute or every five minutes I go back to it and freak out. Do you think that's the life that God wants for you? Do you think that's the life God wants for me?
[00:03:00] No, absolutely not. Christ died in order that we can live free.
[00:03:06] And that's free from the carnal mind. That's free from the laws. It's a freedom. Stand in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free and be not entangled again with the weight or the yoke of bondage.
[00:03:19] There is a liberty in believing because you can free your mind from the thoughts that you're having. What you think about make you you. If you're anxious, wreck or you're anxious, that's on you. You've got to change it. You got to go to God. God says he's going to take care of it. Do you believe it?
[00:03:35] Do you believe it? Do you stand in it and believe it and deal with the pressure?
[00:03:40] I mean, when we were broke and everybody deals with this stuff, like when there is a problem in your life, where do you stand? Where do you put yourself? Where do you set your course of life?
[00:03:52] For me, it's sitting down and writing my prayers out. It's the only way I can release the thoughts. And if they keep coming, I keep writing. If I feel it, I keep going.
[00:04:00] And I pray to God, writing. And I just let it out because it does not do you any good to stand in that.
[00:04:09] If you go to Psalms chapter 62, where are you? Verse 1. Truly my soul waiteth in silence upon God, for for from him cometh my safety and my salvation.
[00:04:21] Truly he is my rock. And rock is there because it's firm.
[00:04:26] He's firm. He's not moving. He's unmovable. Truly he is my rock and my salvation. He is my defense. I shall not greatly be moved. Are you swayed back and forth in your mind?
[00:04:39] No, you stand on God. You Stand on the things he says and you live it.
[00:04:44] You don't allow your mind. You are in. Whoa. I just voice cry. You are in control of your thoughts. No one else is. God doesn't possess. You are in control of your thoughts. What are you thinking about? You got to stand firm in believing. You got to stand firm. He's going to take care of it. And they can throw everything they want at you.
[00:05:05] The adversary can throw every single dart he wants at you because Christ died in order that you can stand.
[00:05:13] We are more than conquerors in this life. And it's not me saying that. It's God that says that.
[00:05:20] This is not man's theology. This is the spoken word of God's inner thoughts towards you.
[00:05:27] I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. If you feel weak in this time, if you're dealing with something you can't handle, I can do all things through Christ which which strengtheneth me. You go to God and you believe it. You put this stuff in your mind. Verse 5. My soul, wait thou only upon God. For my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation. He is my defense. I shall not be moved.
[00:05:53] I shall not be moved. Are you moving in your mind? Stop it. Change your mind. Change your thoughts.
[00:06:02] When I go through these things, it's amazing how you like all this stuff comes together. Because when I teach, it's really about my own thoughts, fixing my own mind, changing my own mind, getting and standing on this stuff and not being afraid. He does not give you the spirit of fear. In fact, he is love. And true love, it casts out fear because you're not to live anxious. That's in John first. John, change your thoughts, change your mind. Believe what God tells you. He's going to take care of this situation. There's been worse situations before.
[00:06:36] I'm talking about a sofa.
[00:06:39] Have a great day today. Pray the big prayers. Lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. Again, when you pray, you pray to God and you lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ. If you pray to Jesus Christ, it doesn't go anywhere. You gotta pray to God and you lift that prayer up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a great day. God bless you and your family. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
[00:07:09] Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much. Just for every single thing you do for me and my family. I pray for again the sofa that gets done and it's just in a manner that's not crazy. Give me the strength to get through it. I also thank you for my golf game and how all that's coming together. I thank you for the boys last night. I'm thankful that I caught those fish and we beat them even though they're six and four. I'm thankful for that. God. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. I thank you for the life that I live and for everything that's going on. And you just take care of your believers and bless them and just give them everything they need to be given and for peace to come upon them.
[00:07:47] I'm just grateful. Father, I lift up a great day to you in the name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
