Today's Word 02-02-26 Winning the War Within · The Early Morning Praise Party w/ Sherry Mackey

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and it's time right now for today's word. Winning the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: war within one Peter one Pint thirteen says, so prepare
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: your minds for action and exercise self control. Whether we
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: realize it or not, one of the greatest battles we
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: face every single day is not around us, it's within us.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: The real battlefield is the mind. What you allow to
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: play on the screen of your thoughts will eventually shape
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the direction of your life. So many problems begin as
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: just a thought. You feel a small pain in your body,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and suddenly your mind jumps to the worst case scenario.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: You go into a meeting and you immediately think they're
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: not gonna listen to me. I'm not qualified. I'm going
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to mess this up. You make a mistake and start hearing.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: You always feel you'll never get it right. Those thoughts
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: are real, or they feel real at least, but they're
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: not always the truth. You see, the enemy's strategy is simple.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: If he can control your thinking, he can limit your future.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: He wants you to live discouraged, fearful, intimidated, and second
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: guessing yourself. But God says, prepare your mind for action.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: In other words, don't be passive with your thoughts. Don't
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: let anything run through your mind without questioning it. You
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: have the authority to decide what stays and what goes.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: When a negative thought comes, you don't have to accept it.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: You can say, no, that's not who I am, that's
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: not what God says about me. Replace it with the truth.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Replace fear with faith, replace doubt with God's promises. Scripture
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: tells us to think on what is good, what is
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: pear what is true, and of a good report. That
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: means if a thought brings peace, hope, and confidence, it's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: probably from God. If it brings fear, condemnation, and defeat,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: it's probably not. Your mind is like a garden. Whatever
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you plant is what will grow. If you plant worry,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: guess what you're gonna harvest anxiety. If you plant faith,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you'll harvest peace. If you plant confidence in God, you'll
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: harvest victory. The good news is this, you don't have
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to win every battle in your life. You just have
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to win the battle in your mind. When you think right,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you live right. When your thoughts line up with God's word,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: your life will start lining up with God's promises. Come
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: own Jesus Father, thank you for the power that you've
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: given us to control our thoughts. Thank you that we
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: don't have to live at the mercy of fear and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: doubt their negative imaginations. Help us God to prepare our
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: minds every single day with your word, with your truth,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: with your promises. We declare that we will think thoughts
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: of faith, hope, and victory. We will win the battle
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: in our minds in Jesus' name. Hey, now that's your
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: word for today. Take that word apply to your every
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: day life, and you continue winning the war within on
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: your early body. Praise party with me, your girls. Sherry
