[00:00:01] Good morning. Good morning. How are you on this fine, fine, beautiful day? Hope you're having a great day today. I hope you are excited today because today is the day 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.
[00:00:24] I go through waves of getting burnt out sometimes when I read the word. Once you start doing it a lot, you go. You get fried almost and you need to refill that tank.
[00:00:33] I was this morning, I was listening to a teaching and it blessed me. And I've gone over this stuff before, obviously, but yeah, I'm going to go over what that, what, what he went over. If you go to Romans, chapter 12, verse 2, it says, and be not conformed or shaped or fashioned to this world.
[00:00:52] You can't be formed by this world. You can't think by the, by the terms of this world because it's going to lead to anxiousness. But I'm going to keep going. And be not conformed or shaped or fashioned to this world, but be ye transformed. And that's alter one's bearing by the renewing or the renovation of the mind.
[00:01:12] It's what you think about.
[00:01:14] You got to change what you think about. And I just thought it was.
[00:01:17] This was like a really cool take on this. We go to Matthew, chapter 6, verse 4, but it was a really cool take on it because I've gone over that, renewing those thoughts.
[00:01:27] If you have that anxious thought, immediately go to God. Have that like just putting it in God's hands, letting him take it and doing that over and over and over again until you get to the point where tribulation worketh patience, patience experience and experience hope, which is that expectation of future good. You go through trials and tribulations that affects your patient enduring or your patience, that patient enduring. Once you've done that enough, you've experienced being patient in a time of, of tribulation where you're going to God and God's taking care of it, you're going to see him, you know, solve the problem over and over and over again. And then you're going to get to a point where you have an expectation of future good. During the time of that tribulation.
[00:02:09] You're going to think on good, knowing God's always going to come through.
[00:02:13] But you have to transform and renew your thoughts.
[00:02:17] And if you go to Matthew, chapter six, verse 24. It says no man can serve two masters.
[00:02:25] You got to choose.
[00:02:27] You can't, let's say, fill your mind up with, I don't even know, Instagram reels or Facebook. You can't fill your mind up with these things and constantly think on these things and think on God.
[00:02:44] You have to change your mind. You have to change your thoughts during the day. If you start feeling that anxious, like, what's going on with me right now is there's the parable of the sower, right, where.
[00:02:55] Where if you. If you put. Put seed on nice soft ground, it's going to grow, or if you put it by the rock, it's going to grow, but it's not going to be sturdy. All these things. Well, there's one that talks about how if you put the seed and you don't cultivate, you don't take care of it, thorns are going to grow up in it and all these things are going to grow and it's going to. It's going to cause care in your life.
[00:03:18] And I think for me, I'm completely filled up with work, which leaves very, very little room for God's word.
[00:03:26] So in the morning when I'm sitting down, like, it's hard for me to move out the work and just think on God's word.
[00:03:35] But you have to prioritize. You can't serve two masters.
[00:03:40] You gotta choose.
[00:03:42] And in my case, make time for the word, elevate it. Don't put work as the idol, if that makes sense.
[00:03:52] No man can serve two masters, for he will either hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon or riches. Verse 25. Therefore I say unto you, be careful or take no thought, or be not anxious. Be careful not for your life what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, nor for your body what ye shall put on.
[00:04:15] Is not the life more than meat and the body than raiment?
[00:04:21] Our life is much bigger than the success in life.
[00:04:26] It's about your relationship with God.
[00:04:30] Who are you? What do you think on the things that you think about make you you? As he thinketh, as a man thinketh, so he is. What you think about makes you you.
[00:04:41] And you have to choose.
[00:04:43] But this is what I wanted to go over, verse 26. So if you're sitting there being anxious about what you're going to eat or what you're going to drink, or all these things, this says, behold the fowls of the air. For they sow not, neither do they reap.
[00:04:56] That's a completely like they just look outside, take it. I mean, you can either sit there in your anxious thought and worry about these things, but it's a lot better thought to look at the fowls of the air, look at the birds, and then put this on in your mind. For they sow not, neither do they reap nor gather, and barns, yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.
[00:05:15] Instead of sitting there thinking and dwelling on what do I need to eat or how am I going to drink or doing all this stuff.
[00:05:21] Open your eyes and look at God's creation.
[00:05:25] God takes care of the fowls of the air, the birds. They don't sow, they don't plant, they don't harvest, they don't gather, they don't store. And yet God takes care of them.
[00:05:35] He's going to take care of you or he's going to take care of me, therefore.
[00:05:40] And then you can let it go.
[00:05:43] Where do you put your mind? Where do you put your thoughts?
[00:05:46] Constantly renew, constantly change. Get your synapses or whatever into a point where it's in the positive way. God's going to provide, God's going to care. What am I thinking about? Recognize a thought, change it, and that's it. Have a great day today. Pray the big prayers, pray the small prayers. When you pray, it's always to God. It's never to Jesus Christ. You pray to God, lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ and give him that sacrifice of thanksgiving. Have a beautiful day today. God bless you and your family. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
[00:06:29] Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much just for everything you do for us. I pray for my brother and sister in law again that they just have a wonderful time, they get the time off and that they're blessed by the whole situation, that they're safe, that you protect them and they don't get mugged or anything robbed out there in Rome. I thank you for just the business and what you're doing with all that, for everything that I'm working on, that you continue to clean that up and that it's the right thing to do and that it blesses everyone and that we can continue to grow and increase. I thank you for my lifestyle and the lifestyle you've given me, that you give me just a good continual idea of what to do, where to go, where to head.
[00:07:12] And I just thank you for your word and how much of a blessing it is for those who teach it.
[00:07:17] Just how much of a blessing they are. And I just thank you for a great day. I lift up a great day to you in the name of my Lord and savior Christ Jesus.
