- 0:00Speaker 1: Nobody, And I do mean nobody doesn't like young early
- 0:03Speaker 1: morny praise party. I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time
- 0:06Speaker 1: right now for today's word. It's time y'all to clean house.
- 0:13Speaker 1: It's time to clean house. First Kings fifteen eleven and
- 0:17Speaker 1: twelve says Asa conducted himself well before God, reviving the
- 0:22Speaker 1: ways of his ancestor David. He cleaned house and throughout
- 0:26Speaker 1: all the idols his predecessors had made. You know, unfortunately,
- 0:33Speaker 1: our past can limit our futures if we aren't purposeful
- 0:37Speaker 1: and careful. Sometimes we believed the same destructive, limiting, defeating
- 0:42Speaker 1: thoughts so long that they've become a part of who
- 0:45Speaker 1: we are. Maybe it has started in how we were raised.
- 0:49Speaker 1: We heard our parents or our grandparents say negative and
- 0:52Speaker 1: defeating words. If it ain't one thing, it's another. Death
- 0:55Speaker 1: comes in threes. I'm so broke. Everybody in our family
- 0:58Speaker 1: had high blood pressure, die, beaties or whatever. That's just
- 1:02Speaker 1: the way it's been. No, when we learn better, we
- 1:07Speaker 1: do better, we eat better, we handle ourselves better. We
- 1:13Speaker 1: won't speak those negative words. We know what the Word
- 1:16Speaker 1: of God says, and we speak what it says. We
- 1:19Speaker 1: know that the word says life and death or in
- 1:21Speaker 1: the power of the tongue, So we choose to speak life.
- 1:25Speaker 1: We wouldn't let some person move into our house and
- 1:28Speaker 1: steal from us or destroy our house or our family. Right,
- 1:32Speaker 1: So imagine fear, worry, doubt, and insecurity living in your house,
- 1:37Speaker 1: dragging you down, stealing your joy, taking your peace. That
- 1:41Speaker 1: may be the way it's been and what you've seen
- 1:44Speaker 1: model your whole life, but it's not going to be
- 1:48Speaker 1: moving forward. It's a new day. It's time to serve
- 1:52Speaker 1: the admiction. Notice, it's time to clean house. Like King Asa,
- 1:55Speaker 1: did you need to evict some tenants that have been
- 1:59Speaker 1: living rent free in your mind? See? The good news
- 2:03Speaker 1: is you're in charge. You determine what stays in your mind.
- 2:06Speaker 1: You need to tell Fear you're evicted. I'm not living
- 2:10Speaker 1: afraid of what might happen. My future is in God's hand.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Tell worry, you've been with me long enough. You've lost
- 2:16Speaker 1: your lease. Tell doubt your time is up. I have
- 2:20Speaker 1: some new rules. You got to go. Tell insecurity you're
- 2:23Speaker 1: no longer welcome here. Get out. See I'm not gonna
- 2:26Speaker 1: be intimidated by you, y'all. It's time to clean the
- 2:29Speaker 1: house and make room for the amazing things God has
- 2:33Speaker 1: in store for your future. Father, God, thank you that
- 2:36Speaker 1: we could take the bold steps to remove the negative,
- 2:39Speaker 1: defeating thoughts that we need to get out of our lives.
- 2:43Speaker 1: We can't do it on our own, so we ask
- 2:45Speaker 1: for your help to break and get rid of whatever
- 2:48Speaker 1: needs to be removed. Help us clean our house in
- 2:51Speaker 1: Jesus' name. That's your word for today. Take an applied
- 2:56Speaker 1: to your everyday life, and you continue to be encouraged
- 2:59Speaker 1: and inspire. It's your early morning praise party. I am
