0:34
Good morning, goo, good morning. It's not sure to see it,
1:14
hear it out you right, good morning, good morning, good morning,
2:07
I'm morning everybody. You're gonna get started in just a moment, right,
2:22
come on, that's right, as you ready for what the Holy Spirit wants
2:24
to play to us. Good morning, inviting a few friends right, well
2:46
again, good morning, good morning. Thank you for joining me for our
2:51
Mountain Mover's prayer and lessons for anybody that maybe haven't seen me before. I'm
2:57
doctor Jewel Williams. I am wanting to leave Passes the and the Like Worship
3:00
Center here in Chicago. We're at seventy seven on one South Exchange, and
3:07
I would love for you to join us in the place and be our guests,
3:10
be the Lord's guests. Get to mine document here, give me a
3:19
minute, just a moment. So we have been talking about and teaching from
3:24
the crucified mindset. So we're gonna continue in that vein and in those lessons,
3:30
am'am. So we're talking about for this week, we're talking about the
3:35
crucified mindset, a life laid down. So again I want to welcome you
3:40
to those that are joining me for the first time and those that will either
3:45
be watching us live or even the replay. I pray that it is a
3:50
blessing for you. So let me start off again with the definition of a
3:54
crucified mindset. And so we're gonna keep repeating this throughout the last you know,
4:00
through through the month. So when I talk about a crucified mindset,
4:04
it means that we are walking in victory. Remember that this is a build
4:09
off of last month's victorious mindset. So it's this crucified mindset. Know that
4:14
you're already victorious because you've already won. So we're holding to the belief that
4:17
we already won. Therefore, that is what is empowering us to then be
4:23
established in the belief and values that Christ exhibited. And what do I mean
4:29
by that? Then we then lead, We let him lead us, And
4:33
so we're willing to give up our lives, just as He was willing to
4:38
give up his life. He put he went to a physical cross. But
4:41
we put to death the old self, the old ways, the old mindsets,
4:45
anything that would keep us from fulfilling God's plan right. And so the
4:49
willingness to put to death the self shows up in what we do, what
4:56
we hear, and how we respond to it and so and there or how
5:00
we then interpret our life in God. So I know that was a mouthful,
5:03
but I really need us to grab a hole to this crucified mindset.
5:08
I really believe more than anything God is saying, I really want to deal
5:12
with you how my children think. So as I was preparing this morning,
5:15
he gave me and he reminded me this may be about ten fifteen, almost
5:21
twenty years ago, probably about fifteen years I was at a friend's house out
5:26
of town and her grandson. She told her grandson to do something. Now,
5:32
you know how kids get when you tell them to do something that they
5:35
don't want to do. He folded his hands, sat down in the chair,
5:41
and he was gonna hold his breath. So he was sitting there like
5:43
this, and he sat like that for such a long time till eventually he
5:48
was like this till he eventually did this, and he drifted off to sleep.
5:55
And I just thought, we just thought that was so funny. But
5:58
the Lord started to talk to me in through what he did. And I
6:01
want to remind you now as we go into this crucified mindset, what it
6:05
reminded me of is this. He said, that's how we look. Sometimes
6:10
we were like this little boy, and what do I mean? Sometimes God
6:14
is telling us I need you to let go of something, because I think
6:17
his grandmother was trying to get him to give her something or let go something
6:20
he had her and so whatever it was, he didn't want. The point
6:25
well, he wanted to do a grandma was asking him to do. And
6:28
the Lord says, sometimes we're like this child. We don't want to do
6:31
what God tells us to do. Is we have several reasons why we're gonna
6:35
get in that today, but we have these several mindsets that are standing in
6:39
the way. And so what do we do? We sit down? Do
6:42
you know what sitting down represents? Sitting down represents that you're in no movement.
6:46
You're no longer walking forward because see, when you're standing alash, you
6:50
are positioned to get moved. I am going somewhere. See when you're standing
6:55
alash, you are already positioned. So if somebody say go here or there,
6:59
you're able to move. But when you're in a sitting position, you've
7:01
gotten comfortable where you are. And it's also a sense of I'm comfortable right
7:08
here, this is where I'm going to be, and so this child sat
7:12
down. God said, many of us have been sitting down on the instruction
7:16
that he has given to us. He said. Not only did he sit
7:18
down, he said, he crossed his arm. Do you know what you
7:20
cross your arm? It's this closing in. It's closing in. It's the
7:25
sense of defiance. I'm not gonna let nobody in my space. God said,
7:30
many of us can't live the crucified mindset because, like this little boy,
7:33
we've set out, we've crossed our arms, and then we're trying to
7:39
hold our breath. I holding a breath it is almost to say I'm gonna
7:42
show you you can't make me do what I want to do, what you
7:45
want me to do. It's this kind of semi arrogance in the child to
7:49
actually think that he can hold his breath long enough to make somebody say,
7:54
okay, you can do what you want to do. And now how we
7:57
do we spiritually hold our breath? Like God is going to go and say
8:01
okay you want okay, No, no, no, He's gonna say,
8:05
keep trying to hold your breath, because I am the one. You're gonna
8:07
have to breathe. Your body gonna make you breathe. But what happens is
8:11
if we sit in that defiant state so long. You know what happens,
8:16
Like that child, we go to sleep. God said, many of us
8:20
are sleeping on his promises. Come on, somebody, he said, many
8:24
of us have gone to sleep on the things that he wants to do in
8:28
our life. Many of us have gone to sleep. And because of our
8:33
unwillingness to hear the instruction that was coming from what the child, It was
8:39
from the grandmother. But we're not willing to hear, heed, and receive
8:43
the instruction from God. And so He is telling us today that we can
8:46
no longer sit with our arms folded, holding our breaths, putting ourselves to
8:52
sleep, because we got somewhere, we got to go. Okay, isn't
8:58
this a great start. Let me give you a scripture and I'm going to
9:01
start to talk to you about what God said is these things that are holding
9:07
us in place. So this first scripture is flip in three seven through ten.
9:13
It says, but whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for
9:18
the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the
9:24
surpassing worth of knowing Christ, Jesus my Lord. For his sake, I
9:28
have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish in order that
9:35
I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having the righteousness of
9:39
my own that comes from the law, but that which comes from faith in
9:45
Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith, that I may know
9:50
Him and the power of his resurrection and may share in his suffering, becoming
9:54
like him in his death. So today, and we're talking about that laid
9:58
down life. So based on this scripture, a laid down life means that
10:03
there is an openness and the willingness to count those things that we place so
10:09
much value and worth on as rubbish. We willingly say, I'm ready to
10:15
let go of everything I've learned, everything I've experienced, every thought, everything,
10:20
I'm willing to let it all go wide because it's rubbish, worthless based
10:26
on where I'm going at what I'm going to receive. And we do that
10:33
to allow ourselves the opportunity to be better equipped to get to know Christ and
10:37
to be equipped to share in his suffering and to become more like Him as
10:43
he was in his death. So what does that mean for us, Well,
10:48
it means that there are some ideas at home. That means there's some
10:52
ideas, some thoughts, some beliefs, some things that we must consider as
11:00
Oh, we're gonna have to let them go. We gotta let them go
11:03
so that we better equipped to be more like Christ. So what are these
11:07
mindsets that God has said he wants us to let go off? What are
11:11
these mindsets? Let's look at him now. I'm gonna tell you this is
11:16
not an exhaustive list, because there's so many more that could be put on
11:20
here. But these were just the one the Lord woke me up and told
11:22
me to talk about today. So this first mindset that has to go is
11:26
that's not fair. That's not fair mindset right there in the comment that's not
11:33
fair mindset. We gotta let go of that. That's not fair mindset.
11:41
How many times? And nobody gotta raise their hand, and I raised my
11:43
hand for everybody. How many times have you said, out loud or even
11:48
to yourself about a situation that's not fair, that's just not fair. I
11:54
did such and such, but I still had to suffer. That's not fair.
12:03
It's not fair that I have to that I gotta do X. They
12:09
get to do this. But I got to do so much more. That's
12:11
not fair. It's not fair how I was treated. It's not fair that
12:18
I had this counter boss. It's not fair that I had this kind of
12:22
work environment. It's not fair that my parents treated me this way. It's
12:26
not fair. And you put in the feeling, the blank feeling in the
12:30
blank of how many times you have said that's not fair. Okay, somebody's
12:33
come on, thank you, Nicole. Somebody said I'm gonna be honest and
12:35
raise my own hand. See, there are a number of phrases we use
12:41
that come from the that's not fair mindset. So you might ask, but
12:46
what's wrong with saying that or having that kind of mindset? I am so
12:50
glad you asked. First, let me tell you what the Lord said.
12:54
He said, this kind of mindset leads also to a comparison mindset, which
12:58
I'll talk about at a moment. So what happens is you're looking at your
13:03
situation and determining if your situation is better or worse than somebody else, And
13:11
most likely probably majority of the times, what do we do. We kind
13:16
of see our situation as worse. That's why we feel like it's not fair.
13:22
It's not fair because you know, they got to get away with murder
13:26
and if I blinked funny, I got in trouble. It's just not fair.
13:31
So we're comparing what we have to go through or what we've dealt with
13:35
with somebody else, and you can begin to see that your situation was worse
13:41
than somebody else's. And then there's some things that will start to happen.
13:46
One of the things right, and we don't we don't know the whole story.
13:50
And one of the things that happens that happens is we can then begin
13:56
to pick up that sense of I'm a martyr of my life. You know,
14:01
I'm a martyr. And please hear what I'm saying. I'm not making
14:05
light of nobody's issue because I had had enough issues all my own self.
14:09
I'm talking about jewel first, So I'm not telling y'all nothing that God didn't
14:13
take me through the process of understanding. But you from getting that place where
14:16
you start to feel like a martyr that you know, and what it can
14:20
start to do is if you're not careful with this this kind of it's not
14:24
fair mindset you get in that I'm a martyr, it can start to actually
14:28
build pride in the heart of the person because they began to say, see
14:33
themselves, I'm stronger, I'm better. Why because I was able to go
14:37
through more stuff than you did. I actually had somebody one time tell me.
14:41
She actually told me, Now at the time I had I had two
14:48
children. Now I had one child. At the time I had one child,
14:50
and she has two children. She had to marrive to tell me I
14:54
wasn't a real mother because I only had one child, because her situation was
14:58
for worse because she had two children. You know, my my wrong kind
15:03
of thinking, Jewel, I was ready to tell after I had three children,
15:05
where you really ate the one it's a mother because I got three children,
15:09
because I got more than you. But my whole point I digress.
15:11
But my whole point is this, people will look at that situation and try
15:16
to make yours less stan because of the fact that I have I've gone through
15:22
more than you, I have more responsibility. My life has been more traumatic.
15:26
Could we not do that? Because what I love that Nicole said was
15:33
we don't know the full story. You don't always know what somebody has gone
15:37
through. You only see in parts, so you don't know the full picture.
15:41
Or it can also cause a sense of feeling less stan because why would
15:46
you have gone through something so horrible? It must mean something is wrong with
15:50
you. That was me. I'm just being trend. That was me.
15:54
I just feel like okay. And yes, what that does do? It
15:58
can thring on what Quinn say. They can bring on depression. It could
16:02
bring on a spirit of feeling abandoned, rejected. So I did I orphan?
16:07
It opens up all those kinds of doors, especially when you start to
16:11
do that that it's not fair. It's not fair, you know, I
16:18
you know, I'm less stand something must be wrong for me. That's right.
16:22
It can bring on suicide. But guess what. All of these parts
16:26
of that it's not fair mindset are not healthy. And so it's time for
16:30
us to lay aside the weights that can become, so that we can become
16:36
this life laid down? What do I mean? Let me Let me show
16:38
you the scripture Hebrews twelve and one says, therefore, since we are surrounded
16:47
by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight
16:52
and sin which cleans so closely, and let us run with endurance the race
16:56
that is set before us. I want to encourage just today when when that
17:02
comparison tries to come up, that you realize, you know what, there's
17:06
a great cloud of witnesses that have already gone through life, that have already
17:11
dealt with some things. There's there's a there is ah, there is a
17:15
proof that there are people that have gone through stuffs. Maybe not exactly the
17:19
way I did, but maybe similar maybe so, But guess what they made
17:23
it. They were able to get through and able to do and to be
17:29
able to cling to and they were able to endure and run the race before
17:33
him. If they could do it, then I can do it. So
17:36
I gotta stop comparing the saying it's not fair, because see, I also
17:41
have to understand that part of what may have happened in my life is that
17:47
God allowed these things to happen, not that he caused them, but that
17:51
he allowed them to happen. Why He allowed them to happen so that I
17:56
could get to the place that I am. He allowed them to have happened
18:00
so you could get to the place that you are. But I want you
18:02
to also understand this that while I am saying, at no point am I
18:07
saying it was fair or that you just be happy that you would treat it
18:10
a certain way. What I am saying is that we kind of realize that
18:14
God is in control of it all, and in his time and in his
18:18
way, he's gonna make sense out of it. In the scripture say it's
18:21
all gonna work out for my good. So he gonna make it all work
18:25
in a way that works for the good of the purpose that he called you
18:27
for. He's gonna make it work for the good for the purpose that he
18:30
called me. See. To be honest, I realized all of the abuse
18:34
and stuff that I went through, while God didn't cause it, he has.
18:41
But this is the other thing. He not only did he not cause
18:44
it, but because He cared enough about you, if you give yourself to
18:47
him, he will heal you through the process of and bring you on the
18:51
other side of that mess. And guess what happens. Now You can go
18:53
back and get them that was that went through the same thing you did.
18:57
You can go back and understand the battles that somebody else has gone through because
19:02
they've been abused a banded. So now you understand and guess what you become.
19:06
You become a mighty weapon out of ourself in the hand of the Lord
19:10
against these attack of the enemies. Holly Lujah, Hollywood. Okay, let
19:15
me look at this next mindset that God says that we must crucify. And
19:22
so when we have when we have that, it's not fair mindset. What
19:26
I said is one thing that can happen is that comparison mind can fall.
19:30
This manset can lead to pride because you see yourself better than others, or
19:33
it causes you to doubt because you begin to see yourself left out or less
19:37
than someone else. Comparison is dangerous mindset because what it does that infection causes
19:44
sickness to the soul. And God said, you got like all of this
19:47
stuff. He said, we got to see this stuff as rubbish because each
19:49
person has difficulty in their life, but we all have different levels of stuff.
19:56
What happened to person, they may not have happened to you. But
20:00
this is the thing we should never do. Don't never tell somebody what yours
20:03
was less than mine because you know, well, of course it's gonna feel
20:07
harder than you because you're the one that went through it. But it but
20:10
guess what, it's gonna feel harder than that. What because they went through
20:12
it. So this is the place where we have to have grace for one
20:15
another. And so at the same time, my situation is one that I
20:21
see solely from God's perspective. To understand why He allowed me to go through
20:26
the things I experience, we have to learn to remove others from our definition
20:30
of ourselves and our purpose. What do I mean? Yep, folks,
20:34
done you wrong. We're gonna all agree with that. Yep, things haven't
20:37
been just. At the same time, God is the one who will take
20:42
care of that. God has already told us that he's going to vindicate us.
20:48
His recompense is going to be at his hands. And I can I
20:52
also interject to him, because y'all don't heard me say this. My idea
20:56
of recompense was, you know, like the disciples when they was called Jesus
21:00
said, we could you just called out fire and burn them up and always
21:03
used to be like and I am at extra Christy. He said, no,
21:06
daughter, that's not how that works. What he starts to tell me
21:08
is his recompense and what he does. It's different than what we think.
21:14
It's not that he necessarily gonna go get the people. He gonna get the
21:17
spirit behind it. But what he is going to do and your recompense is
21:21
you're gonna have more of him. You're gonna increase your capacity to hold his
21:26
glory. He's gonna increase your capacity to walk in promises. He gonna increase
21:30
your ability to be able to see things manifested. I tell you to be
21:36
honest, I prefer that than him doing somebody wrong or getting somebody back,
21:40
because he can get somebody back, and my life could still be here.
21:42
But I prefer him to elevate me, give me more of him, allow
21:45
me to see greater revelations and deeper understanding the thing if elevate me in that
21:49
way. And guess what it's gonna deal with the haters anyway, because they're
21:52
gonna be upset and crunchy because they trying to figure out how you growing up
21:56
and they thought you wasn't going nowhere. Hello, somebody, because the Lord
22:00
said, I got this, I got this, And so this is a
22:03
vital for us to understand, is he wants us to do everything in a
22:11
way because there's no righteousness in ourselves. So he don't want us trying to
22:17
vindicate ourselves. He said, you ain't got no righteous. Your rights in
22:18
like filthy rags, but my righteousness is different. If you let my righteousness
22:22
rising you, then I will do the work. And so this is vital
22:26
for us to understand, to help us stay out of that mental place where
22:30
we compare ourselves to ups. In fact, you know, I hear people
22:36
say, used to hear people say, I said, there I go.
22:37
But for the grace of God, that's the type of understanding we have to
22:41
have to have. I could be jacked up. I could have been a
22:44
horrible mother to my children if it had not been for the grace of God
22:48
teaching me and helping me to leave me and to help me to get over
22:51
all things and strive to be better than what I was before. I had
22:55
to help get his help to put aside pride, which could cause you me,
22:59
or you or us to say, but I never be like my parents
23:00
have y'all. How many of people say, I ain't gonna be like my
23:03
mama, I ain't gonna be like this person, I ain't gonna be like
23:06
that person, or I ain't gonna I ain't gonna do that, And then
23:07
guess what, some of us have turned around and did the same stuff we
23:11
said we weren't gonna do why because we were dependent on ourselves and not the
23:17
grace of God, which our righteousness is like filthy. Right, So God
23:21
is saying it's time to stop comparing. Also in that comparison, let me
23:25
just say this, He said, stop comparing how you flow in your gifts
23:30
compared to how somebody else flowing this because the enemy uses that a lot in
23:33
the believers, because someone's so propha sign and sometimes y'all know they'd be prophalying
23:40
and y'all excited, you know, y'all getting all being out of shape because
23:42
they look like they got all these followers. And then the enemy starts to
23:47
look. You start to say, well, you know, God ain't doing
23:49
that for me, and you start to have this doubt in yourself, and
23:52
the enemy is just using that mindset or kind of that. It's not fair.
23:56
Why I got away, It's not fair. Why he not promote me?
24:00
Maybe because you're not ready? Hello, Sometimes you're just not ready.
24:04
I raised my hand. I was fussening stuff when I first open a church.
24:10
I'm like, loo, I don't understand, how come we can't get
24:12
past two and no more? Three? Four? That's it? And he
24:17
was like, daughter, because you're not read. I was like, maybe
24:18
the people I read. He's like, no, you're not read. And
24:22
I understand what he meant. I had to be ready by having the ability
24:25
to hold on and stand place, and to be gracious and to be long
24:29
suffered and to be patient. I had to grow that stuff because I wasn't.
24:33
I had my own mindset, and we was going at my pace.
24:34
God said, didn't. You don't get to pay this, And I need
24:37
to tell that to some of y'all. Y'all got to stop trying to pace
24:40
it. You don't get to pace it. God is the one the pace
24:42
the thing a man. So let's look at my rights mindset. Pride comes
24:49
in here because we believe in our own self righteousness or that we can do
24:53
what we want because we have the right to do it. That sounds logical.
24:57
That's what our world tells us. But maybe you don't see that the
25:03
views sometimes that you're having. It's prideful sometimes when you use words like this,
25:10
So let me help you out. I'm just protecting myself. This is
25:12
self protection or self preservation. The truth is the life laid down says I
25:18
share in his suffering and become like him and his death. In other words,
25:25
why why it's pride is because you have determined your ways are better than
25:29
what God is asking of you. Out and hello, yep, that's what
25:34
he's said. Now, I'm just repeating what he said. Y'all, don't
25:37
get mad at me. He said, when you have this, it's my
25:41
rights mindset. You lock yourself into hearing a different perspective. When you have
25:47
this, it's my rights mindset. You lock yourself into this place where even
25:52
if God is trying to help you grow and change, you don't want to
25:55
see it because it does not align with what's comfortable with you. And God
25:59
is saying. But in the scripture I read, it said I want to
26:03
share in his suffering. Sulffarin means that sometimes it's not going to be comfortable
26:10
become like him in his death. Hello, he died. That means you
26:15
and I, the self ishness in us got to die. That I'm reserving
26:23
myself gotta die. I mean, I don't know how else to say it,
26:27
because it's God is saying, no, you gotta do this my way.
26:33
That's what a life laid down is. You don't get to do it
26:37
your way anymore, it says. Proverbs twenty eight twenty six says, whoever
26:41
trust in his own mind is a fool, But he who walks in wisdom
26:45
will be delivered. What does God trying to tell us in that poet in
26:49
that verse, Well, he is trying to remind us that we when we're
26:59
self depending on our own thinking alone, he's calling it foolish. He said,
27:04
But when you walk in wisdom, I'm talking about wisdom that comes straight
27:07
from Heaven, you will be delivered. You'll be delivered from your old self.
27:11
You'll be delivered from the all these mindset, you'll be delivered from,
27:15
delivered from the it's not fair mindset, from the comparison mindset, my rights
27:19
mindset. When we walk in his wisdom, his wisdom gives us what we
27:23
need to understand so that we can be delivered from these things. And again
27:29
we might not even see. It's being my prideful because we believe. I
27:33
said, we believe our thoughts and ideas are right. But god Ward already
27:37
says we are right in our own eyes. But he said, that's foolishness.
27:42
So when we have the crucified mindset, we set us set aside all
27:48
that we have believed and held us truth. Nope, it's not easy,
27:52
but it's a mandate that we must all come to the place and be ready
27:56
to totally lay down all that we think and hold. And I'm not even
28:00
saying your ideas may be wrong, so hear me out. But what I
28:04
am saying is if I am, or if you are unwilling to lay down
28:10
your thoughts and ideas to even allow God access to them, then guess what
28:15
it may be because of this my rights mindset, Come on somebody, because
28:19
he sometimes you can actually have the right thoughts, but is it being applied
28:26
in the right way? So God is saying, even though your thoughts you
28:29
might be like, well what I believe is true? Yeah, but are
28:32
you applying it his way? That's why he said, I need access to
28:36
all of you. I need access to your thoughts, your actions, how
28:40
you speak, when you speak. You know, I love that song with
28:44
the Married May and they said, you know, tell me where to go,
28:45
I'll go if you tell me to show. Basically, I'm parafraid.
28:48
If you tell me to talk, i'll talk. You tell me to be
28:51
quiet, I'll be quiet. He said, you become very much like that
28:56
scripture that says, I am a bond servant a bond, I'm a servant.
29:00
Don't just walk in the room and start talking unless the master or the
29:03
owner or says you can talk. God is saying, if you didn't tell
29:07
you to talk, zip your lip, listen and hear what I have to
29:12
say, and then I'll tell you when to talk. I'll tell you what
29:15
to say, and I'll tell you when to say it. I just believe
29:18
God is saying, we got to get past this. All of my rights,
29:22
all of my rights, this is my right, is my right?
29:25
Hold on to your rights, and see, don't you miss God? That's
29:27
all I gotta say about that. I don't want to miss God. Who
29:30
wants to miss God? I don't want to miss God. I don't want
29:33
to miss God. All right, Look at this next mindset. This is
29:37
called the self sabotaging mindset. We find ourselves here where we begin to believe
29:44
we can't do something or that because things are hard, there are somehow not
29:48
God's will. I have watched too many people give up, push back,
29:53
get angry. Right, I want to miss God. Either, they'll get
29:59
angry as someone true, And I've even seen people get angry as someone trying
30:03
to help them because they have this mindset that things shouldn't be this difficult at
30:07
all. I remember once I was helping a young lady and I kept telling
30:11
them, you need to forgive your mother or you're gonna be continually stuck in
30:15
this place. And she told me I got a right to be angry at
30:18
my mama what she did. I said, okay, but how is that
30:21
going to help you? Because you want God to forgive you, but you're
30:23
not willing to forgive her. I mean, she literally was ready for,
30:29
you know, to kill me for you know, the stuff I was saying.
30:32
But I told I said, let me tell you something. I can't
30:34
help you because your mindset is your self sabotage. Anybody that's given you some
30:41
information, you can't take it unless it is easy. Can I help somebody?
30:48
Easy is not part of God's vocabulary. I ain't seen it. Everything
30:53
I've seen, I don't know. Maybe you saw easy in that statement where
30:57
it said to join in is suffering. Suffering and easy are opposite ends of
31:04
the definitions. Scripture says we must be willing to step in into the suffering
31:10
of Christ, and suffering means just that sometimes that suffering will be because you
31:15
need to be cut or circumcised. Or Paul circumcised Timothy and then he hadn't
31:22
walked with him. Sometimes God will send someone or even a situation to cut
31:27
away the old skin from your heart and you have to deal with it and
31:33
keep walking into your destiny. Because can I tell you something, Timothy wasn't
31:37
a little boy when he got circumcised. I need for y'all to understand it.
31:40
He had to deal with the pain of being circumcised. For why Paul
31:45
wanted him to be circumcised, because he can say, we wait, man,
31:47
why are you making me get circumcised? But you ain't making somebody else
31:49
concerned comparison. See, he had a reason for it. Sometimes God will
31:53
make you go under the knife for something that he don't make somebody else go
31:56
uner the knife for why, Because there's a purpose that that that you need
32:00
to go under the night. There's a reason you need to be cut.
32:02
There's something specific for you that's going to help you to keep walking into your
32:07
destiny. Because as they continue to travel, they talk about how the souls
32:09
that were saved and the miracles and miraculous things that followed them. So sometimes
32:15
God will call us out and show us some really difficult things about ourselves,
32:21
not to discourage us, but to help us to see where we need to
32:23
change. So laid down life has to deal with it. You just gotta
32:30
deal with it. I remember when I was going to school for my masters.
32:32
I was at school. I was at a school that didn't believe in
32:36
women in ministry. I thought, God was really funny. Why would you
32:38
send me to this school. They don't even believe that I should exist.
32:42
They didn't believe women in ministry or any kind of leadership position, especially over
32:45
men. So they were exceptionally hard on the women in the classes. And
32:50
I had a destructor that just basically called me stupid because of a mistake that
32:53
I made. What did I do? I said, Nope, I'm not
33:00
stupid, but I'm here to learn what I didn't do. Was allowed that
33:04
conversation to cause me to begin to either self sabotage or to get into that
33:07
why it's not fair belief system I wasn't called, you know, or that
33:13
belief that I wasn't really called to do this. I would ask the Lord,
33:15
why you got me here? But guess what I said to myself,
33:20
you know what, he's my teacher. I need this man to give me
33:22
this grade. He could say what he wants, but at the end of
33:27
this course, I'm getting my aide. Guess who got their a Hello?
33:30
What's my point? I believe there are times when God allowed us to go
33:34
through some tough spots to help us see what's really on the inside of us,
33:38
and can we stay in position through it? Can we take the heat?
33:43
Even in your mindset of how it is right wants to kick him.
33:49
I saw remember once I was under fire, I mean unfair and unjustified.
33:53
I was ready to give up and leave, and I think I've told you
33:57
this before, but the Holy Spirit said, nope, he said, sit
34:00
back down to listen. See. I couldn't justify myself. I couldn't really
34:04
defend myself. I answered the questions that it was asked, but I had
34:07
to do with God ways why. Honestly I don't always know the reason why,
34:12
but I do know this. When we came to the end of that
34:15
season, the Lord showed me in a vision that I had passed. I
34:17
came out clean. Sometimes that's the sole purpose of a thing. Just can
34:21
you come out clean? Looking like Jesus. Sometimes that's all you need to
34:25
know. I came out of this situation clean, and I looked like Jesus
34:29
because I helped somebody today. Sometimes we're trying to figure a thing out.
34:32
We want to know the why, why, why? Why? Why this
34:36
happened? Why? Why? Why? Why? Sometimes you're not gonna get
34:38
an answer of the why. Some of that stuff you ain't gonna understand till
34:42
you get to heaven. Sometimes you gotta say, you know what, I
34:45
came out clean and I'm looking like Jesus. It don't even matter no more
34:50
of the why. I know at some point, the lesson and the learning
34:52
and the tenacity that built in me, I'm dependent on it now. Sometimes
34:57
that's the other thing God has being wants you to understand. Sometimes I'll let
35:00
you go through a hard press because it's pressing the best out of you.
35:04
You were like the oil that's being pressed. I'm bringing out the oil out
35:07
of the olive. I'm pressing out the oil. God said, Sometimes I
35:12
just need you to come out clean. Come out clean clean of what clean
35:15
mean? Not having the mindset, not having the baggage, not carrying the
35:21
stuff that you had when you went in come out clean and looking like Jesus
35:25
out of Oh Jesus, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank
35:29
you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you that when
35:31
I felt that would thank you, thank you, thank you, Hi,
35:34
thank you, Jesus, thank you, thank you, Jesus, thank you.
35:37
God said, just come out clean. Sometimes you ain't gonna always understand
35:42
it, he said, And don't let the enemy set you up to samitage
35:45
yourself, your destiny and his promises. All right, victim mindset. This
35:51
mindset shows up in several ways. First, there is a blame that comes
35:55
with this mindset. A person sees everyone as a foe and they fight against
36:00
relationships. For me, there is a self sabotage portion with this mindset as
36:06
well. There's some unrealistic expectations placed on people, even expectations that the individual
36:13
can't live up to themselves. So, for example, that person will want
36:15
you to be perfect, but they ain't perfect. They want you to be
36:20
there for them one hundred percent of the time, but they can't be there
36:22
for nobody one hundred percent of the time. So they have these very unrealistic
36:24
expectations. And to be honest, this victim mindset almost kind of be looking
36:30
for you to slip up in any kind of way so they can say,
36:32
ah, ha, I knew you weren't this. Ah ha, ha,
36:36
I knew you weren't that. And as soon as someone fails meeting even the
36:39
smallest of these expectations, they justified in their victim mentality. Part of this
36:45
mindset is uh is that it what's been done to the person is blamed on
36:53
others. So if your mama did you wrong, then sometimes you've been a
36:58
problem with females and a orty. If you had problems with your dad or
37:01
a man, that could be distrust of men. So there's this transference of
37:06
the acts of the offender onto others who had nothing to do with your trauma
37:12
or her So another function of this victim mentality is also this martyr type ideology.
37:21
This person sees that trauma as being far worse than anyone else, and
37:24
they begin to wear this trauma almost like a badge of honor. And I
37:30
remember watching this mindset take over somebody to the point where this individual she didn't
37:37
want to do none of her work, She didn't want to do none of
37:38
her work. She just had this expectation somebody was gonna you know, grab
37:43
a magic wand I guess and go bimity babbity boo. You are now a
37:47
new No. That is not how that was going to work. See,
37:52
you can't walk around hold it onto these wrong mindsets because they will keep you
37:58
from doing your work, which will us. He said, I have to
38:00
share in the suffering with Jesus Christ. And so what will happen is if
38:06
they don't change, they'll begin to blame others as being hard task masters,
38:10
uncaring, unloving. And there's this expectation the person doesn't want to do the
38:17
work. They want others to do the work instead of doing their own personal
38:23
work to get better. Now hear me, I am not making light of
38:29
a person's trauma at all. What I'm trying to do is to shed light
38:32
on many of the enemies. How he takes the traumas in our lives and
38:37
causes us to have wrong mindset. And all of these different mindset have a
38:43
main root, and the root is the focus on self and not sacrifice.
38:49
Part of a laid down life is a willingness to sacrifice myself. I'm sacrificing
38:54
my time, my energy, who I am, all of me. I'm
38:58
sacrificing all of me so that I can be a life laid down and I
39:04
can be who God wants me to be. That's right. We have to
39:07
have this transformation that happens in our lives. But that's only gonna happen when
39:14
we partnership with the Holy Spirit and He does the work on the inside of
39:19
us. And so we have these things that work against us. Now,
39:23
let me just give you so I told you all nickname. Let me tell
39:27
you. Let me tell you what some of the thoughts are of a life
39:30
laid down? So what are the thoughts of a life laid down mindset?
39:34
First of all, let me just let me tell you this. The life
39:37
laid down is one that says, I will get everything done to me to
39:42
Christ. They treated me wrong, they lied on me, they try to
39:45
they try to murder my identity, they try to steal from me. They
39:50
did all of these things. They attack me, whether it was physical,
39:53
emotionally, spiritually. I will give everything done to me to Christ. Why,
40:00
I'll trust Him for the healing, even if that means I have to
40:02
go under the surgeon's knife and let him cut it out here out of myself.
40:07
See the life laid down says, I don't want to have surgery,
40:12
but we gotta stop looking at this as an elective surgery. It's a mandated
40:15
surgery. So I will go under the surgeon's knife and let him cut it
40:20
out, cut out anything that will keep me from healing, and then I'm
40:24
willingly gonna walk while I heal because I have somewhere to go. A life
40:30
laid down says, I'll take on that Timothy stand that while I was cut
40:35
and bleeding, I'm still gonna walk and heal. Yes, I know that
40:38
there's some things I ain't gonna bleed over nobody, but I am going to
40:43
walk this thing out. Whether the walking it out means I'm gonna stay in
40:46
position till I healed enough to go, or if it means God says walk
40:50
and hell, I'm gonna walk in here wherever he says I am going to
40:54
do. I'll not become a victim to that that's not fair mindset, because
41:00
it will only frustrate me, discourage me, and make me lose focus.
41:05
See, I'm not gonna focus on it wasn't fair. In fact, I'm
41:07
going to flip that thing and say it was by his grace that I am
41:12
still here. That thing that happened that was unfair to me should have took
41:15
me out, but God said no, Mercy said no, Mercy said I
41:21
still. God said I still got something for you to do. So instead
41:23
of me being that's not fair, what I'm going to say to myself is
41:28
I'm still here. That mean God is making me stronger. I'm not gonna
41:32
let that stuff frustrate me any longer. I'm not gonna let it discourage me,
41:37
and I'm not going to lose focus. I led our mindsets. I
41:40
won't compare my failure, my successes, my gifts, or anything that I
41:49
have experienced with others because my walk is unique. That's right. I'm tried
41:55
by the fire and I'm coming out. I'm coming out like, oh look
41:59
a here. I'm not going to compare myself. Yeah, I got my
42:02
own set of failures, but I have my own set of successes. I
42:07
have gifts that a God gave to me, and you lead me to me
42:09
and I may be a prophet like you, but we ain't the same prophet.
42:13
I'm not going to compare my gets anything that I've experienced, even with
42:17
others. Guess what, because my walk is unique. I am uniquely made.
42:22
He took the time to fashion me even in my mama's womb. He
42:25
knew what he was preparing for me to be, and he knew in the
42:29
mother's womb what he was paying for you to be. So you are unique
42:31
in this season, and you gotta understand that that is who you are.
42:36
I'll give others the grace also to walk to their path in their healing.
42:40
At the same time, I will not take on the burden or blame for
42:45
someone else's trauma if I'm not the cause of it. Let me say that
42:47
again. While I will offer grace unto you, I will not receive nor
42:52
take blame or the responsibility for trauma that I did not cause. I will
42:59
help you, but I ain't the cause, and I'm not gonna sabotage myself.
43:02
I'm not gonna make myself a victim. If you don't want my help
43:07
keep it moving. I am not taking on the responsibility of making you hold
43:13
That's Jesus, that's his place. He the only one that can do that,
43:16
and you and I must make you. You don't take on burns that
43:21
God didn't call for you to take on. I will not hold on to
43:24
the my rights mindset, because the day I said to God, you are
43:29
at or nine, I let go of every right out head. I became
43:32
a bond servant, a slave to following the ways of God, without question,
43:38
without pushback, and without grumbling. He said he loves a cheerful give.
43:43
But why we only think that means financial. He wants you to be
43:46
a cheerful giver of yourself. Give of yourself the way the Lord has called
43:52
for you to do. Give it without question. And I don't mean question
43:54
in terms of I don't understand. I'm talking about questioning you, just like
44:00
he don't have the right to do it. Yes, ask him for clarity,
44:04
but don't question his right to tell you to do whatever he wants to
44:07
do. You belong to him. I belong to him. That is what
44:10
the mindset says. I laid down. Mindset says, I, come on,
44:16
Jesus, I belong to him. And it also said if he determines
44:22
my suffering has purpose, as much as I don't want to go through that,
44:25
I'll do it all for him. I won't have a self sabotaging mindset.
44:30
I won't allow any broken places in my life to make me quit.
44:35
I am not giving up, but I am looking up. I'm not allowing
44:38
the devil the streets lies to my mind. I won't instantly believe the negative
44:43
things that come to me, but instead I'm gonna ask God for clarity.
44:46
It at I by sad? Is that from you God? What does it
44:52
mean? Lord? And what do you want me to do with it?
44:53
I will no longer carry a victim's mindset. Things aren't happening to me because
44:59
of my or defense, all my poor defenseless me that I'm tired of being
45:04
a victim. It's not fair. The horrible things that happened are true,
45:07
but God didn't allow them to take you or me out of here. So
45:10
I will continue to seek for my healing. I won't blame others unfairly for
45:15
what was done to me at the hands of up. Come on, somebody.
45:20
I will not run from building good, healthy relationships that the Lord is
45:23
ordained. While I had to be transformed in my mind, I am not
45:30
now or ever was I a victim. Can I help somebody out today?
45:35
I have always been called for victory. Uh huh. And you more than
45:38
a survival, You more than a survivor. You were born for victory,
45:43
and at our side you are promised. Prophet Keysha, you are promised.
45:47
I need for us to understand. God said those things happened to you.
45:52
They would never They were never my stamp. That's never who I said you
45:57
work. He said you are had always have been victory, victory, victory,
46:01
victory. Call yourself victory. I am. That's right. You were
46:06
born for victory. I just didn't understand it. You just didn't understand it.
46:10
We didn't understand when we came out of the mama's womb. The fact
46:15
that you made it out of the womb says you was victorious. You made
46:17
it into this world because everybody, every baby, don't make it. You
46:22
made it into this world. You got purpose, You got purpose. You
46:25
just didn't understand it. You was too young to understand it. So what
46:29
did the enemy do? He tried to traumas has you from the very been
46:32
beginning. He tried to make you feel like that was nothing in you.
46:36
But can I tell you something. The day you were born, you was
46:38
a promise birthed into this earth. What do I mean? God determined who
46:44
you work? You are a promise and all you and I gotta do is
46:46
walk through. That mean we gotta suffer sometime. We got to be crucified.
46:51
We gotta take on the crucified mindset because on the other side of the
46:54
resurrection of Jesus Christ he fulfilled purpose. We you and I gotta be like
47:00
Christ. We got to walk through the crucified moments so that we get to
47:02
the other side of them. We become the manifestation of the promise it and
47:07
of our side. You are a promise to the earth wherever that is.
47:10
You a promise to your family, your promise to your husband or wife,
47:15
your promise to you are a promise. So let the enemy stop letting the
47:20
enemy tell you you not. So you was always called for victory. We
47:23
just didn't understand. But now you dude, now you understand that. Now
47:29
you understand that I am I am I am. I am a laid down
47:32
life. As I laid my laid down for the cause of Christ. The
47:36
crucified mindset is building me up for the manifestation of God's glory to be released
47:42
from my life. I am a life laid down to allow Christ to be
47:46
raised in me. That is the thinking of a crucified mindset and a laid
47:52
down life, A laid down life says that I am no longer going to
47:57
see and look at my situation from this war is me. It ain't fair
48:01
all of that. No, it ain't fair. High who said that war
48:06
was fair? The enemy comes, he doesn't fight fair. Why do you
48:09
think he would be fair? But God said, I'm not about worrying about
48:13
fairness. I'm worrying about justice and victory. He said, I will,
48:16
I will, I will, I will justify you. I will bring you
48:20
through the other side. But you gotta trust me. You gotta trust me.
48:23
You gotta trust me. You gotta trust me. Father, God,
48:27
I thank you today about soul called I see. Father, I thank you
48:30
today for reminding us about this crucified mindset. We have come to the place
48:35
God, that we are coming out of agreement with any of that that we
48:37
have been in agreement, where we're coming out of the mindset that it's not
48:42
fair, because all that does is get us into this place of comparison.
48:45
It gets us in this place of feeling like less stand and all these other
48:49
things. But Father, today we don't we're not concerning ourselves no more.
48:52
But it's not fair. But what we're concerning ourselves. Is that we're saying,
48:55
thank you that we're still here. We're thanking you that you kept us,
49:00
thanking you that you have helped us. We're thanking you God that you
49:01
have allowed us to be here. That thing should have made me crazy,
49:06
killed me, destroyed me. I might have had to go through some counsels,
49:08
I might have had to get some healing, I might have had to
49:12
get some deliverance. But I am still here. You are still here.
49:15
You are still here. And God said, if you allow me, I'll
49:17
make you better and strong with it out of our side. So Father,
49:20
we're letting go. We're coming out of agreement. We're no longer will well
49:23
rehearse or it's not fair? Mindset. Some of you will be saying,
49:28
it's not fair. I got to go through this. Why is it not
49:30
fair? Why are you any different than any other God's children? He said,
49:32
if you got to go through, you go through. But I'm not.
49:36
You're not going by yourself. I am with you God. We come
49:38
out of agreement with this comparison. Mindset. God, you had said in
49:42
the scripture all of this stuff is like rubbish. Father, we let it
49:45
go because it's doing nothing to who we are supposed to be. So I
49:49
ain't gonna compare myself no more. I ain't comparing my business. I ain't
49:52
comparing my life. I ain't compare my finances. I ain't compare my weight,
49:55
I ain't compare my looks. All that stuff we compare with other people,
49:59
I ain't comparing. And I'm looking in the mirror and I'm gonna see
50:00
Jesus, I'm gonna look in the mirror and say, Lord, make me
50:04
help me to look more like you. If I don't look like you today,
50:06
I need to keep working on that. That's the only thing I'm gonna
50:08
compare myself to it. Am I looking like yourself? If I ain't looking
50:12
like your son? I got work to do. Father. So we're gonna
50:14
stop this comparison about who we look like and whose ministry is this? Whose
50:19
job is that? We are not gonna do it anymore because it ain't doing
50:21
them to bring a depression, discouragement and upset. Man. So Father,
50:24
we thank you. We're coming out of self sabotaging mindsets. No longer we're
50:29
gonna sabotage ourselves. We're gonna stop saying, well, if it's too hard,
50:31
this couldn't be from God. Father, in the name of Jesus,
50:35
it out of our side. I ask you to give us a spiritual backball,
50:38
help us to be able to stand under the things that we have to
50:42
stand under. Yes, it's not easy, Yes, God, I understand.
50:45
Sometimes it's frustrated. The human side of us goes this too hard?
50:50
But yet God, Yet, God, Yet, God Yet, God.
50:52
It might be too hard for me, But who said that I was trusted
50:55
in me? I'm gonna trust you, God, I'm gonna depend on you.
50:59
So I'm no long gonna allow my situations and circumstances to get me to
51:02
a place where I feel like I gotta quit. I am I renounced that
51:07
quitting spirit out of my own mouth. I no longer will tell you I'm
51:10
gonna quit. I'm not gonna quit. I'm gonna dig in. I'm not
51:14
gonna quit. I'm gonna I'm gonna dig in. I'm gonna plant my feet
51:16
firm. I'm not gonna be like that child that sat down and cross their
51:21
arm and eventually fell asleep. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna stand strong
51:23
in the position that you have me in now. And as I stand strong
51:27
in this position. What you're going to do is you're gonna help me,
51:30
God, to be able to stand stronger, to move forward and to do
51:32
that what you called me to do. So no longer we're gonna self sabotage.
51:36
We're not gonna let people sabotage, and we're definitely not gonna let ourselves.
51:39
So, Father, I come against the conversations that we have in our
51:43
mind today. God, I thank you right now for changing the conversations that
51:46
we have in our mind that prepares us to quit, prepares us to back
51:51
down. When backing down, we're not doing any of that. We're moving
51:53
forward. Father. We come against the victim mindset. We are not victims.
51:57
We're not victims. We're not victims. We're not victim. Yes,
52:00
things have happened to us, but we are victorious. I was born for
52:02
victory. I was born for victory. And does that mean sometimes there's some
52:07
losses, yep, But I'm still born for victory. I'm born for victory.
52:09
I'm going to take every victory that's mine and things that the enemy thought
52:13
he took, I'm going to take back, whether like David when they had
52:16
stole all of David's family they went, and he's like, Lord, should
52:20
I go? He said, go up and take it back. Father.
52:22
I take it back. I take back everything. I take back my name,
52:25
those who have had your name slantard. I take it back now,
52:29
in the name of Jesus, things where your finances were out of order because
52:34
of things that happened to me. Lord, I take it back. I
52:36
take back my good credit. I take back my financial standard. I take
52:39
back my name. Every lave the enemy, I curse it right now with
52:43
the root and uprooted. Father. So therefore what I stand on is integrity.
52:47
I stand on the truth of your word. I am not a victim,
52:51
and I'm taken back everything that the enemy tried to steal from me.
52:53
And not only do I take it back, but you gotta give it to
52:55
me with interest it because if you hold held on it for a year day,
53:00
I have a long I want it back, and I want it with
53:01
the interest. In the name of Jesus, Father God, I thank you.
53:07
We are laid down life. Father. We willingly say to you today.
53:10
Father, I will follow you because you are ada Na, you are
53:15
lord and master. You get to tell me what to do. I don't
53:17
get to tell you no more. I don't even get to do this hold
53:22
back and forth conversation sometime we have with God trying to talk him out of
53:24
the assignment he had on our lives. He says, stop it. He
53:29
said, stop it, stop it, stop it. Just obey and listen.
53:34
And Father, I thank you now in the name of Jesus, that
53:37
you are Ada now you are. You are our lord and master. And
53:39
what we're going to do, Lord is we're gonna listen, We're going to
53:43
obey, and we're gonna walk with the right mindset. So today, Father,
53:46
we thank you for releasing into us not only the victory victor, the
53:52
victorious mindset, but that crucified mindset that says, I'm putting to death anything
53:57
and everything that stands in the way of me being who you called me to
54:00
be. Because Father, I want to know you as the scriptures. I
54:05
want to know you. I want to know the power of your resurrection.
54:07
And that may mean that I got That means then I may have to share
54:10
in your suffering to become like him in his death. But Father, what
54:14
happened is that we get stuck there. Yes, we may have to suffer
54:17
as Jesus we suffered in his dying, but he was raised to a glorious
54:22
place. Father, you don't just let us suffer and leave us there.
54:25
Father, we may suffer a thing, but when we trust you, you
54:29
elevate us, you raise us, You put us in places and positions where
54:32
now we can reign. We become the sons of God, and we now
54:37
can reign from the heavenly places. So what do I mean. I ain't
54:40
God, You ain't God. But as the sons of God, we have
54:44
authority in the earth to reign so that that which is in heaven can come
54:47
down to earth. Father, I thank you for the rights. I thank
54:51
you for the privileges. I thank you for the authority that you are placed
54:53
on the inside of us. And God, I thank you now. So
54:57
Father, I pray for all of your sons and daughters that are listening to
55:00
this where they listening live, where they listen to the replay. Father,
55:02
I thank you now that we are a laid down people. That no,
55:07
we are no longer running, we're no longer backing up, and we're standing
55:09
in position as good soldiers, ready for our instruction, ready to move and
55:14
do what you call us to do. And as we move, we will
55:16
believe by faith that God, though we suffer now, it is not.
55:21
That's not our only thing that we are. We were made for victory.
55:24
And because we were made for victory, we're winning this war. Now.
55:28
We're winning. We're winning. We're winning. We're winning. We're winning.
55:30
We're winning. We're winning. We're winning. We thank you because we are
55:34
on the winning side. There's no way we can lose that we're on the
55:37
winning side. So, Father, I thank you today. I give you
55:39
the praise, I give you the honor. I am thanking you in advance
55:43
for all that you are doing in us today. Now, Father, I
55:46
pray for your people. I pray right now, Lord God, that you
55:50
were a winning attitude on all that those that are listening release a winning attitude,
55:55
release a victorious mindset. Father, align our minds so that, Father,
56:00
even if the enemy trying to penetrate this non penetratable, why because you
56:05
have put us in a place where we have decided that we're gonna stick in.
56:08
We have decided all of this other thinking it's nothing but rubbish. That's
56:14
what Paul said. He said, I counted them as rubbish. He said,
56:17
all of my stuff, all of whatever I lost, he said,
56:21
I count it all, he said, I have suffered the loss of all
56:23
things and count them as rubbish. Father, all of the stuff that I
56:28
may have lost, people that left my life, stuff, I just count
56:30
it all rubbish. Why because if it's bringing me closer to gaining you than
56:36
it's worth it. It's worth it. It's worth it. It's worth it.
56:38
It's worth it. It's worth it. It's worth it. It's worth
56:42
it. It's worth it. God said, this is the season where we
56:45
got to just shift how we look at some stuff. Is it worth it
56:46
to you? Is it worth it to you? Is it worth it to
56:51
you? Father? I just give you the praise, I give you the
56:53
honor in Jesus name a man and a man. That's right. Let's get
57:01
it back. Let's get it back. I want it back. I want
57:05
it back. And so those mindsets that we gotta let go of it,
57:08
that's not that's not fair mindset. We gotta let go of that comparison mindset,
57:15
we gotta go of that my rights mindset, and we gotta let it
57:19
go of that self sabotaging mindset. And then finally that victim's mindset, we
57:23
gotta let go of all of that. We gotta crucify it and take up
57:28
the laid down life so that you and I can walk in the victory that
57:32
God has for us. I just I cannot tell somebody something some of you,
57:37
that's why you lost your joy. You know how I know because that
57:42
was me. You lost your joy, You lost your peace because you was
57:46
allowing these types of mindsets to be what was predominantly talking to you. And
57:52
so God is saying no, no, no, change your mind, transform
57:57
your mind, put on the crucified mindset so that you are better able to
58:01
fight against all of the things that the enemy says, so that you can
58:06
hold on to your joy, fight for it, fight for your peace,
58:08
hold on to it because God has it for you. Yes, God,
58:15
that's right, he said, if you, if you suffer with him,
58:17
you reign with him. See thank you. See somebody giving me the description
58:22
background. I would just go on. But my point is, I'm not
58:23
telling y'all stuff just off the top of my head. I'm telling you by
58:27
way of the Holy Ghost. But the Spirit is trying to get us to
58:30
understand. You are not victims. You are victorious. You walk in victory.
58:36
You were born with purpose. Now we just gotta go find it.
58:38
We just gotta go walk it out. We gotta go do what he called
58:42
us to do so that we're able to be who he called us to be.
58:45
So God bless you for coming real quick, just showing you the book.
58:52
I showed you it was coming. She is now out and published and
58:55
in stock. So I am actually working on the next next book of my
59:02
children's series. So you know, you can always you got some grandkids and
59:07
grand babies, nieces and nephew. These are great stories that talk about you
59:12
see, this was dealing with lying. We have one about stealing, and
59:15
all from a biblical perspective. These were stories that I wrote, actually thirty
59:21
years ago for my children. I used to read them to them and the
59:24
Lloyd said, okay, now share them with the world, and so you
59:29
can get that directly from my page or you can go to Amazon. They're
59:32
on Amazon. So the next one I'm working on is The New Girl on
59:37
the Bus. I think that's the New Girl on the Bus. So there's
59:40
actually sixteen books in the series. This is book number five. So I
59:46
am working through walking out my purpose a man. So you know what I
59:52
always say, until we meet again, we're gonna pray until the mountains are
59:58
moved. That's right Philippians, For they say, think on these things that
1:00:01
are lovely of good report. If there be any virtue, and if there
1:00:04
be any praise, think on those things. And I leave that with you.
1:00:07
Let's let's put our minds on the right things. God bless have a
1:00:12
great rest of the day.
