  Speaker 2: for today's word Unshaken and Unstoppable Acts twenty twenty four says,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: but none of these things move me, Nor do I
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: count my life dear to myself, so that I may
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: finish my.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Race with joy, You know.

  Speaker 2: The apostle Paul made this powerful declaration in the middle
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: of pressure, opposition, and uncertainty. He wasn't speaking from a
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: place of comfort or ease. His life was filled with threats, betrayal, imprisonment,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: and hardship. Yet Paul chose a posture of resolved. None
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: of these things move me. He had decided in advance
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: that circumstances would not control his spirit, and his emotions would.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Not dictate his purpose.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: See, feelings are a part of life, and they are
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: their moments, y'all.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: When they work in our favor, when.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: We feel hopeful, when we feel energized, and when we
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: feel encouraged, that's a great thing. But feelings are unreliable leaders.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: They shift with circumstances, they shift with conversations. They shift
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: when we're disappointed. If your piece depends on everything going
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: your way, you'll spend much of your life frustrated and discouraged.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: That kind of surface living leaves you vulnerable to every
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: setback and delay. Paul shows us a deeper way to live.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: He refused to.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Allow other people's opinions or actions, unmet expectations, or difficult
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: seasons to determine his outlook. He didn't deny reality, he
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: simply refused to be ruled by it. He turned his
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: concerns over to God and stay focus on finishing his
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: race with joy, not bitterness or regret. Y'all, we all
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: experience negative emotions. You may feel hurt, You may feel offended.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: You may feel anxious or discouraged. Those feelings are real,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: but they don't have to be in control. You can
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: acknowledge what you feel without letting its shape how you respond.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: You may feel upset, but you don't have to react
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: in anger.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: You may feel offended, but you don't have to carry
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the offense. You may feel weary, but you don't have
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: to give up hope. When you choose faith over feelings,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: something powerful happens. You redirect your thoughts toward what God
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: has promised instead of what's going wrong.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: You fill your mind with hope. Expectancy and truth.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: You remind yourself that God is still in control, He's
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: still working, and.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: He's still faithful.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: See that decision doesn't change everything around you immediately, but
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: it changes everything within you immediately. An immovable life is
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: not one without challenges. It's a life anchored in God.
