- 145Investing In Your FutureI want to remind you today to spend your time investing in your future, not in the past. Investing in the past is when you relive your pains and disappointments, focusing on who hurt you, what didn’t work out, and the mistakes you’ve made. That’s a waste of time and energy. You can’t do anything about what happened in your past—it’s over with. But you can do something about today. When you focus on what you can change, and not on what you can’t change, that is a good investment in the future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

- 151A Son MentalityWe’ve all been through disappointments and unfair situations. Because of negative things of the past, even mistakes we’ve made, it’s easy to have the wrong image of ourselves. Too many times we’ve developed a slave mentality where we don’t pray bold prayers, we don’t believe for our dreams, and we don’t expect good breaks because we feel unworthy.But 1 John 3:2 tells us we are sons of God. Joel wants to help you gain a new vision and understanding of who you are, not thinking about what you were, what you’ve been through, or the mistakes you’ve made. When you realize who you are—a son and daughter of the Most High God— you’ll think differently and live differently as you expect God’s favor in your life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 152How Are You Handling Worry?Did you know that the word worry comes from the Old English wyrgan, which means “to strangle?” If we let them, worry and stress literally choke the joy out of our lives. So how are you handling worry?Worry pulls us away from God’s power, but worship draws us to Him, and His presence changes us.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

- 154Your FaithThere’s nothing more powerful than your faith. When you believe, that’s what activates God’s power.

He has all power.You have to be more determined than what’s trying to stop you if you’re going to reach your potential. In this message, you’ll learn how to release your faith and reach out to God.

- 155Lift Up Your EyesThe writer of Hebrews says, “We inherit the promises of God through faith and patience” (Hebrews 6:12). You may not look like you want to look or be where you want to be, but don’t devalue the journey to get there. Don’t start thinking that the journey isn’t worth it. Don’t despise the process because you just want to get to the promises. Can I tell you this? The process is what builds your strength and develops you. The process is what makes you become what God’s called you to be.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

- 159Keep Your Vision In Front of YouMany people lose their passion in life because there is nothing to remind them of their dreams, hopes and prayers.

- 162Waiting With ExpectancyWaiting with expectancy means instead of worrying if God is going to answer a prayer, you’re thanking Him for working behind the scenes, talking like a miracle is just around the corner, and acting like the answer is on its way.

- 164Keep Your Heart Free From OffenseProverbs 19:11 says, "good sense makes one slow to anger and it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense." It does us no good to go around offended.There’s always going to be reasons to take an offense. The word offense comes from the Greek word which means bait. Sometimes that’s what happens to use with offense. It lures use into a trap. We get upset, frustrated, and bitter. Listen, don’t take bait. You can’t take the bait of offense and live in victory, joy, and peace. Shake off the any offense. Give it to God. Live happy, healthy, and whole.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

- 166The Power of RememberingIn the Old Testament, God commanded the children of Israel to take time out of their busy schedule, several times of year, to remember the miracles; how he parted the Red Sea, how he brought water out of the rock, how manna came down from heaven. He wanted them to pause and remember the wonders he had done.So often we forget when we should remember. Sometimes, we remember what we should forget. Let's remember the good to strengthen our life. The Psalmist said, "remember what the Lord has done. I remember his marvelous works." What we are remembering is so very important in our life. Let's remember the good.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

- 168Peace With Your ScarsYou can’t live very long without being injured and going through hurts and pains. Sometimes the wound heals up and you don’t have any sign that it ever happened. But there are certain injuries that are so severe, a cut so deep that when they heal up, the pain goes away, but they leave a scar.Maybe you have been scarred by a divorce, by what somebody said, by a mistake you made, or by a loss. Joel wants to show you how you don’t have to try to hide your scars or be embarrassed by what you’ve been through. You can be at peace with your scars. God is going to take your wounds and turn them into beautiful scars. Let your scars be a reminder of the grace and goodness of God.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
