[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. I hope you are excited today because today is the day 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 of praise. Praise him and thank him and go to him. You know, I.
[00:00:25] You can know all things, man. You can. You can work the word, you can teach. In my case, you can just dive into this stuff. But there will be days where your mind will switch to fear and you have to be able to renew and renovate your thoughts and change your mind in order to get to the place where you can deal with the stress of everything, tribulation, and work with patience. And that patience is a patient, patient experience.
[00:00:57] And experience, which is the state of being tried hope. And hope will never cause shame. So you're going to go through trials and tribulations you're going to go through. You're going to have to experience that. Once you've experienced that and you have patient enduring during those times, you're going to get to a point where you can hope and have expectation of future good. Last night I started thinking about all the money we're spending right now. Because right, we're in the middle of buying stuff like we just bought gym equipment for the employees and ultimately for us, too, so we can work out as a group and as a unit. We, we, we. I hired somebody else to bring him on because I was trying to get more stuff done with this building where we're spending a fortune right now.
[00:01:40] And yesterday, last night, I just had this revelation of how much we're spending and did I go to God? Am I walking with God? And I think about those times with David where he would go and he would ask God, should I go to battle? And there are times when God says, don't go to battle.
[00:01:55] And I know there are certain things that I have chosen to do that weren't from God.
[00:02:01] Or it might, it might. Now God's gonna cover me, you know, God will cover you, but you gotta make sure you're going to God in every situation. Because in times of stress, like when I start going through this and I start. My mind starts reeling, there is comfort knowing that I go to God, ask God what to do. He gives direction and I do it.
[00:02:21] And then in these times of stress, I can rely on that. And right now there are Certain decisions that I personally made where I didn't go to God. And now that's where I'm reeling. But God will cover all things and God's going to cover your life. But if you're going through that time, you're going through those anxious, those, the anxieties, those anxious thoughts. There is. We are not to have anxiety. In fact, I'll go over that really quickly and then I'll jump over to what I was going to read here. But if you go to chapter four of Philippians, verse one, it says, rejoice or be delighted or pleased in the Lord always. And again I say rejoice. It's not sometimes, it's always.
[00:03:03] Let your moderation be known experientially unto men. The Lord is at hand, and that's Christ Jesus. Be anxious for not one thing, but in everything by prayers. And this is all specific word. These are prayers to God and supplication, which are prayers of personal need. With thanksgiving, let your specific request be made known or declared to God. And the peace of God surpassing all understanding or thought, shall keep or guard or garrison your hearts or your thinking and minds, which are your. Like the, the revolving of the thought revolvings of the mind through Christ Jesus. It's going to. It's going to help guard your thoughts essentially from yourself. You got to go to God in these situations and you got to pray and you got to pray, lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Prayers of specific prayers to God. Specific prayers to God. It's not just like Hail Mary's, it's specific and you declare them and you lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ. It's always through, through Christ's name.
[00:04:12] Now, I was going through this because this other verse is the one that kind of hit me today. If you go to chapter 12 of Romans, verse 1, I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice wholly acceptable to God, which is your reasonable or rational service or obedience rendered to God. And be not shaped or fashioned to this world to. To this age, but be ye transformed by the renewing or the renovation of your mind. It's actually the mind. So you have to renew and renovate the mind.
[00:04:48] You have to renovate, you have to change the thoughts that are going into your head. And today the only way I can let it go. I mean, I actually woke up last night in the middle of the night thinking about this stuff. That's how much it was affecting me to the point where this morning I was reading. I'm like, you know what? Whatever you say to do, if I have to cut off everything I just did, if I have to send back everything I just.
[00:05:09] If I have to do everything, it doesn't matter, I'll do it.
[00:05:13] And it just relieved the tension.
[00:05:16] It relieved the tension. You need to go to God in every situation that you're going through and let it be known to yourself that you're willing to do what God tells you to do. Because when you do that, you're renovating your thoughts. You're getting your mind to what the Word says, and it will. You stand on that and watch the change in your life.
[00:05:37] It's not reading the Word and deciding that the Word fits and therefore you'll believe. It's believing what the Word says and walking forth out on it, out upon it.
[00:05:47] That's what setting your course of life is. You face God and you walk towards Him.
[00:05:53] It's not always easy. And it's easy to get, you know, to just kind of get off course.
[00:05:59] But that's what's so beautiful about God. He gives you the ability and the strength through Holy Spirit to do that type of stuff.
[00:06:07] Have a beautiful. If I could speak. Have a beautiful day today. Pray. The big prayers lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. When you pray, you always pray to God, lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ. You never pray to God or to Christ. It won't go anywhere. You pray to God, lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a great day. God bless you and your family. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
[00:06:43] Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much. Thank you for the comfort, knowing that you're going to take care of every situation, that you're covering our steps. I appreciate that. Covering my steps, specifically, I thank you for the ability and the strength that you give us and just the blessings that. Just knowing that you're there for us in every situation. I thank you that you've gotten my family to the point where we can just go to you and work with you and do the things you want us to do, and that there's so much comfort in that. I thank you for your word, for your son, that he died for us, that we can live this way. And I just ask you for a great day today. I lift up everything to you in the name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
