WHOO! HOW MANY OF YOU THINK THAT’S A POWER THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE WORTH THINKING ABOUT? YOU SAY, “WELL, THAT’S EASY FOR DAVID TO SAY. IT’S EASY FOR HIM TO SAY, ‘I’M BELIEVING FOR SOMETHING GOOD,’ BUT AFTER ALL, HE WAS THE KING. HE DIDN’T HAVE MY PROBLEMS.” WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? DAVID HAD A WHOLE LOT OF ENEMIES. IF YOU READ PSALMS, HE WAS CONSTANTLY TRYING TO GET GOD TO CHASE OFF HIS ENEMIES. KING SAUL AGGRESSIVELY SOUGHT TO KILL HIM FOR YEARS. DURING MANY OF THOSE YEARS, HE HAD REMAINED IN HIDING AND LIVED IN CAVES. HIS OWN SON, ABSALOM, BETRAYED HIM AND COVERTLY TRIED TO STEAL HIS KINGDOM. HE HAD TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED GOD BY COMMITTING ADULTERY AND MURDER. HE HAD A BABY THAT DIED. HE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO BUILD THE TEMPLE THAT HE WANTED TO BUILD ALL OF HIS LIFE. AND HE WAS CONSTANTLY AT WAR, YET HE SAID, “WHAT, WHAT WOULD BECOME OF ME… WHAT KIND OF AN AWFUL, MISERABLE, WRETCHED LIFE WOULD I HAVE IF I DID NOT BELIEVE THAT I WOULD SEE GOD’S GOODNESS, NOT WHEN I GO TO HEAVEN BUT IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING,” HE SAID. “WHILE I’M HERE ON THIS EARTH, SOMETHING GOOD IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME.” AMEN?
(Joyce) I PRAY AFTER HEARING IT SEVERAL TIMES TODAY THAT YOU’RE BEGINNING TO BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU NEED TO DO IN YOUR LIFE. IT’S AMAZING WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE BEGIN TO LINE OUR THOUGHTS UP WITH THE WORD OF GOD. TODAY OUR RESOURCE OFFER IS A CD SERIES CALLED “POWER THOUGHTS” AND WE REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WANT YOU TO HAVE THIS BECAUSE I BELIEVE IF YOU CAN CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK, IT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. SOME OF YOU ARE WANTING SOME THINGS TO HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE BUT YOU’RE NOT LINING YOUR MIND UP WITH THE WORD OF GOD AND YOU NEED TO DO THAT. WE WANT YOU TO HAVE THIS SO MUCH THAT WE’RE GONNA OFFER THIS FOR A GIFT OF ANY AMOUNT. THAT MEANS IF YOU JUST DO YOUR BEST TO SEND YOUR BEST GIFT, WE WILL SEND THESE CDs TO YOU. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU DO YOUR BEST. SOME OF YOU CAN DO MORE THAN OTHERS AND SOME OF YOU CAN GIVE ENOUGH THAT IT WILL MAKE UP FOR SOME OF THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO MAYBE CAN’T SEND AS MUCH. TEACHING ON THE THOUGHTS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT KINDS OF TEACHING YOU CAN HAVE. I ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO LISTEN TO A TEACHING SERIES ON THOUGHTS AND WORDS PROBABLY AT LEAST TWO OR THREE TIMES A YEAR BECAUSE IT’S A VERY IMPORTANT AREA SO WE WANT YOU TO ORDER THESE RIGHT AWAY AND BEGIN TO CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK. WE LOVE YOU AND WE CERTAINLY PRAY THAT YOU’VE ENJOYED THE PROGRAM TODAY AND WE BELIEVE THESE TEACHINGS ARE GOING TO BE LIFE-CHANGING FOR YOU.
