In this video 0:14 Renewing the Mind for Consistency
Renewing the Mind for Consistency 0:14 I accomplished, like, a huge goal of my life to win a Super Bowl or whatever. And then it's like, now what?0:20 They now understood who they were.0:24 I'm gonna wake up with the mindset of I'm gonna love myself. I'm gonna believe in myself.0:28 I will conquer. Maybe you know that you have a purpose, and you're starting to really venture out in that prospect of it, but then maybe something happened. Maybe it was a tragedy. Maybe it was a adverse situation0:39 and you're just like, no. I'm abandoning shit. Don't stop. There is seed starting to grow about who you are. So that's called an that's called, an unrenewed mine. So then you have0:51 the third scenario where seed was scattered. It sprouted up in soil on the rocks. It sprouted up and started to really bloom, but it was among thorns and thistles. K. So this is for the scenario of you understand1:03 your purpose. You understand who god is. You're going in. You know how to get through adverse situations, but for whatever reason, you just keep being stuck in this cycle.1:17 Maybe you keep bouncing from job to job, or maybe the same issue keeps popping up every couple of months. Well, that's just pointing the fact there's something in your mind that needs to be addressed and broken off.1:28 Maybe there's a generational mindset. Maybe there's a thought pattern that's preventing you from stepping into the fullness of God. That's called the renewing mind. Then you have the last mindset that I believe God is1:38 trying to get everyone to. And that's the, the seed fell among soil, and it sprouted 30, 60, a hundred fold, a full complete harvest. This represents
1:50 the completely renewed mind where you are in perfect accord. You're in lockstep with who god's called you to be. You have a relationship with him. You know who he is in your life. You know who he you who you are in
2:02 his, in his plan, his redemptive plan in the world. And so everything you think, everything that you approach life with is from a kingdom mindset.
2:11 Amen.
2:12 And so everything you do is going to produce something great. I'm saying all this to say that if we're truly gonna be consistent, if we're gonna aim for consistency in 20 25, we have to
2:24 address her mindset. That is the first and foremost situation. So no matter what scenario you're in, there's still room and there's growth
2:35 that can happen, but you have to have the awareness and you've gotta have the honesty with yourself to be able to sit down, understand, okay, what is my purpose, but then start looking back
2:47 at yourself. We talk about this all the time, where you are actually doing a self evaluation. What are the good things about you? What are the things that you don't like that you do? And start to just figure
2:59 out why do I do things this way? What can I do to change that? Yeah. Hey. Reading books is a good 1. Reading books about self improvement along with the Bible, that's that's a must.
3:11 Reading books about things other than just the latest trends of, Hollywood, also a plus.
3:18 Yeah. People Magazine is not a book.
3:20 It's not a book. It's not a book. But there has to be some form of self investment. That's basically what I'm trying to say. That's gonna help unlock things in your mind. That's gonna bring you closer into the revelation
3:32 of who you are in Christ
3:33 Yep.
3:34 But also in your purpose that's gonna help make these daily consistent habits more achievable.
3:40 Mhmm. I would agree. And I think, you know, like you said, I mean, it's just it's really about starting small, but I think people have these big goals. And there's nothing wrong with a
3:52 big goal. Right? But I think the biggest thing is, like, okay. Like, you could have a goal to climb Mount Everest. You know? But my brother would tell you, start with climbing some smaller mountains first Yes. Before you
4:03 decide to take on something like Everest. And then he would even tell you when you do the small mountains, some of them have a lot of plans still that you have to make. Yeah. Every mountain really has a
4:15 plan that this is how I'm gonna, you know, peak that mountain and and get all the way to the top. And some of them, you know, are easier than others.
4:26 Right? But every 1 of them requires what? A plan, a goal, and you have to stay on those goals. And so, you know, I I just I I encourage people, like, there's
4:38 nothing wrong with, like, having a goal. Like, to say, okay. Well, I maybe wanna gain or lose this certain amount of weight. I maybe want to read, 10 books
4:50 this year.
4:51 Yeah.
4:51 Well, okay. If you don't don't normally read and 10 books is hard for you, then maybe do 5 this year.
4:59 That's good. Yeah.
5:00 And be okay with that, and then work your way up. You know, if something where it's like cooking is hard for you Yeah. Thanks. I'm cooking is hard for you
5:12 Dad. Thanks. But you wanna learn how to cook, then, like, find some sort of meal that is easy for most people to cook and start there.
5:24 You know? Everybody has things they're good at and they're not good at, and everybody has things they excel at and they're just great at. And I think 1 thing I
5:36 would encourage people to do is in the things you struggle with in life, be around people that are good at those things so then you learn. I just think wisdom only comes if we're willing to be around people smarter than
5:48 us. Really good point. It's really if we're always in the room with people that are not smarter than us, then our ego is gonna be through the roof. And, also, in some ways too, your
6:00 confidence will not be super good because you're always gonna feel like you're around people that offer nothing to you.
6:06 Yeah.
6:07 So I would rather be around people that are smarter than me and maybe a little bit just get over the fact of, like, yeah, I feel really stupid and out of place right now. But if you can get over that as a human being,
6:17 that's where you learn. It's a good my brother will tell you, like, when he first, like, walked into, like, fighting and stuff, it's like, man, I'm around all these people who literally could kick my tail right now. He
6:29 and he ain't feeling that way now.
6:31 Right.
6:31 Now he kicks some of their tails. You know what I mean? Awesome. And so it's like, legitimately, that's the important overlying message here is, like, Jesus was telling his
6:43 disciples, like, you have little faith. Don't you realize, like, you have the power just as I do, given from my father above that you could go and do the exact same things, cast out demons,
6:55 heal the sick, all of it. And, you know, I I I would have loved to just see their faces when he was telling them those things. Like, could you and and I would have loved to see Jesus' face after they woke him
7:07 up from, you know, sleeping.
7:09 Right. Yeah.
7:10 Don't you care, master, our savior? Don't you care? Or, like, you know, master, don't you care that, you know, we're dying? And because I think that's what they said. Like, master, don't you care?
7:21 Yeah. It's super dramatic.
7:22 Yeah. It was just dramatic. And it's like, I would have loved to see But
7:25 to that point, it was a hurricane.
7:27 So Yeah. I would have loved to see you know? I I and I love how they're calling on him in that moment, but yet Jesus is also telling them, like, everything that's gonna happen to him and him coming back. And they're
7:38 like, no, lord. That's not gonna happen to you. You know? And, like, it's like, how many times does God speak to us on what's gonna happen, and we're just like Yeah.
7:48 There's no way. Okay. So you
7:50 We get a prophetic word from somebody that God speaks to or God speaks to us directly. And it's like, we sit there and think, like like, Jesus literally told him, like, y'all are gonna flee. You're gonna deny me. You're
8:01 gonna do this. You're gonna do that. You're blah blah blah blah. And he gave him the positives. He gave him the negatives. He told him, you have the power It's not just okay. To go out and heal the
8:13 sick and preach the gospel and bind storms and cast out demons and all of it. And it's like, they, for whatever reason,
8:25 felt some sort of lack of faith because Jesus said you have little faith.
8:31 Yeah. Yeah.
8:31 Think about it.
8:32 Well, it's interesting because you said something that was really because he he he was telling them things that they didn't wanna hear. That's it. The the key to another key
8:41 They let their flesh hear it as opposed to their spirit.
8:44 So another key to what you're saying about surrounding yourself with people that are, you know, further along, more mature, maybe more versed in a certain area than you are is allowing your assumptions to be challenged.
8:54 Yeah. You have to allow Absolutely. You have to allow everything that you've assumed, everything that you pretend to know, I guess, or that you think that you know, allow yourself to
9:06 be challenged in that aspect because, as you were saying, if you can get past the pride, there's a lot of growth that can come from that. Yep. Absolutely. And and and and through that growth, our habits,
9:18 new habits can be formed. New habits to be more efficient, new habits to be more effective, new habits to be more consistent. And isn't that all what we're looking for?
9:28 Yes.
9:29 Yeah. It might feel awkward. You might feel foolish in that moment. But if you can get past that, think about all of the good that can come out of that that can just further propel you and get you closer to that goal
9:39 that you're that you're trying to achieve. You know, the other thing I I think of too, just when it comes to just overall, you know, how else you can, you know, choose to accomplish this in 20
9:50 25 is you gotta get past your emotions. Yep. Are you crying?
9:58 You can't be emotionally led.
9:59 You gotta be spiritually led. There's no crying in baseball.
10:03 So many people are led by the emotion of how they feel when they wake up out
10:07 of bed.
10:08 Yes. And it just ruins or makes their day. And it's like, the moment you get out of bed, and it's like, usually the first words that people say makes
10:20 or breaks their day. It's literally like I know so many people that are just so emotionally led, and I'm like, what are you doing? Right. You can't be, like, living off your emotions in life. Like,
10:32 I'm sorry. You're gonna have bad days, but it what's your outlook in them? Yes. And you're gonna have good days, but what's your outlook in them? People can have good days, and then it's and then somehow make it a bad
10:41 day because they can't be thankful in the good day.
10:43 It's true.
10:43 It's, like, still not enough to complete them. Yep.
10:46 So You nailed it right there. There has to be a point where we are willing to push past how we feel in that moment. And, again, look back. What's your purpose?
10:58 Yeah. Why are you doing this? If you are firmly rooted in that, then how you feel, good day, bad day, feeling a little sick, maybe feeling a little tired
11:07 Mhmm.
11:08 Not wanting to get up out of bed early, you'll still do it. Why? Because you're that connected, and you realize that the emotion may be fleeting, but the reward of stepping into that thing
11:20 that you're choosing to accomplish can produce far greater, harvest than, you know, just that short moment of gratification
11:29 Yeah.
11:29 Of not doing nothing. Yeah. There's there's a there's actually now that I think about there's a good there's a good rule of thumb to live by. You have to ask yourself this. By choosing not to do this or do this in this
11:41 moment, will your future self be pleased or disappointed in you? So if you choose not to work out or if you choose to eat
11:53 that full bag of chips, will your future self be okay with this? And that to me is the root and the foundation of living a repent of lifestyle. I know we talk about repent, repent, and,
12:05 yeah, that means turning away from sin and things that are that are against God, but really, it's a change of mind. It's thinking about the future consequences before actually doing a thing. That's being repented.
12:16 Yeah. And, honestly, like, I would honestly just undergird what you just said because, legitimately, I think being sorry for something is like, people that keep
12:28 saying sorry all the time, they're really just, like, saying, well, I'm sorry that I just I did this, but then they keep doing the same thing most of the time.
12:36 I said I was sorry. Let it go.
12:38 But being repentant repented is a change of heart. It's a complete, like, I'm broken by what I've done. I'm not doing this again. I'm not even gonna fathom thinking about it again. Yeah. You know?
12:50 And a lot of times when people are sorry, it's just this, like, cop out sometimes. And, you know, I get that some people may genuinely be sorry, and that and that's kind of
13:02 the word. Mhmm. But there's a way to say I'm sorry with a true repented mindset and heart. Yeah. My dad has always said that the bigger the apology
13:14 or the bigger, the repentance, the bigger the forgiveness, and I think that's important. You know? When people
13:23 That's good.
13:24 Have more heart in their apology, there's more of a trust that's even, like, responded back with, you know, and and and given back to. You know, that people
13:36 on the receiving side of the apology are more open to open their heart and trust more or give a acceptance back more so. The greater the
13:48 repentance, the greater I don't even wanna say forgiveness because you can forgive no matter what. But, like, the greater the the trust, the greater the honor received. You know? Mhmm.
14:00 And and and and returned. It's like David who really sought God.
14:05 You know? That's true. Yeah.
14:06 Because was on his face for what he did.
14:09 Well, you know? And you don't hear about him doing that again.
14:12 No. I said, yeah. That's my point. It's like there's a difference in just being, like, completely, like, sorry so I can move on with my day. Yep. And, like, I am broken by what I've done,
14:24 and I don't even wanna think about it again, like, doing it again. I'm broken that I broke you and broke your heart or hurt you or hurt God or hurt that
14:35 person. You know what I mean? That's good. There are some people who just say sorry, but have no feelings attached to it. There's no heart attached to it. And I think that's the thing is, like, people throw that word
14:47 around like it's candy. It's true. You know? And I just really think that the greater somebody responds, you know,
15:00 in repenting and responds to what they like, comes to the realization of what they just did and really says, man, I gotta get this right. I gotta repent. Yeah. There's a humbleness in that.
15:12 Yeah. You know?
15:13 That's good. So so sorry is an apology without a plan.
15:16 Yeah.
15:17 But repentance would be, would be, like you said, a change of heart seeking restoration.
15:23 It's easier like, so my dad says it like it is because there's more acceptance in a true repentance than there is just somebody saying sorry, and everybody can say sorry. Look how many people say sorry when they go to
15:33 jail, and then they get released into the exact same crime, like, months or a year later. But then there's people who are truly broken for what they did Mhmm. And realize that this has a everlasting effect on who maybe
15:45 they affected. Yeah.
15:47 A fundamental change on on the trajectory of their purpose or their future. Yes, man. And So
15:53 true.
15:53 I felt this real quick.
15:54 Yeah.
15:55 For those who are listening, watching, I felt this. You need to forgive yourself. That could be the very thing that is preventing you from entering into a place to accomplish your
16:06 goals, entering into a place of being consistent
16:10 Amen.
16:11 And moving forward. Amen. Forgive yourself just like Matt was saying. Hey. We all have Mhmm. We all have the ability to forgive, but sometimes the hardest
16:22 thing is forgiving yourself. And so I just felt led to say that. Allow the forgiveness of Jesus. Allow that to wash over you. Receive it. It's made available to
16:34 you. And I believe that this is something once you truly allow the forgiveness to come in of yourself, the healing can come in, and this will also propel you into whatever it is that God has for you and increase
16:46 in 20 25. I just wanted to share that.
16:48 I feel the same way that, you know, whatever goals, things you have in life for this year, I just speak that there will be an absolute consistency and favor
17:00 that the Lord gives you. There'll be a mindset. There'll be peace that you won't give up on yourself, that no matter what it is that you have your eyes and your spirit set on for this
17:12 year in 20 25, that you're not gonna think about the things that didn't work out in 20 24, and let's add be your mindset in 20 25. You're gonna think about the good things God did in 20 24 and say, now God's gonna even
17:23 do it greater in 20 25. And so we just declare that over every 1 of you. We speak a crop failure to anything that the devil would try to put in your life that is not of God, that is
17:35 not of good use, that is not gonna propel you over these next 12 months. But I just decree and I just declare right now that at the end of this year, you're gonna look back and say, wow. Look
17:47 how far I've come and look where God has also taken me. That you're gonna remember what the Lord has done in your life and that there's gonna be things in 20 25 that you're gonna be so proud of
17:58 that, man, I am so glad I did not give up in many of these times or months when I easily could've, but I kept staying the course. I followed my goals, and I trusted
18:10 Yes.
18:10 The anointing that God has put us on me, the calling, my identity, everything, and my purpose. And I just speak that right now. Let there be a lot of purposes that are found this year for people that are watching right
18:21 now in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen.
18:24 What a word, man. I felt that.
18:26 Yeah.
18:26 And I believe that you guys felt that too on the screen. Share this with a friend. Share this with family. Guys, we are believing that this is your year Yes. Where God is going to take you to a whole another level. He's
18:38 gonna increase you. He's gonna prosper you. He's gonna grow you. He's gonna stretch you, and he's also gonna give you the strength to go to work. As we said before, 20 25, we're heading into overdrive.
18:50 I think you said that.
18:52 Towards the
18:52 end of last year. Mhmm. 20 25, we're heading into overdrive. As always, this is Matt and Anthony with Game Changers. We love you guys. This is your year, 20 25. Go change the game in
19:04 your city, and we will see
19:09 you soon.
