Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for joining us today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope,
Speaker 1: the Bible Teaching Ministry of Rick Warren. And today we're
Speaker 1: continuing our series called the Habits of Happiness. In this series,
Speaker 1: Rick dives into the Book of Philippians and helps you
Speaker 1: discover God's path to true and lasting happiness. And now
Speaker 1: we bring you the final part of a message called
Speaker 1: how to Keep your Heart Happy.
Speaker 2: The third exercise to maintain a healthy or happy heart
Speaker 2: is this. This is a big one. Keep my conscience clear.
Speaker 2: That's verse fifteen. Because one of the things that causes
Speaker 2: us to lose our happiness is feeling guilty or feeling ashamed.
Speaker 2: And the Bible says, if you want to be happy,
Speaker 2: you gotta get rid of guilt. You gotta get rid
Speaker 2: of guilt. You cannot be guilty and happy at the
Speaker 2: same time. So you got to maintain a clear. Look
Speaker 2: at these verses Philippians two fifteen. You are to live
Speaker 2: clean and pure lives as children of God in a
Speaker 2: broken and corrupted generation. You know that was written two
Speaker 2: thousand years ago. Generations are still broken and corrupted, aren't they.
Speaker 2: Human nature doesn't change. Everything else does, but human nature doesn't.
Speaker 2: You're to live clean and pure lives as children of
Speaker 2: God in a broken and corrupted generation ration. You are
Speaker 2: to shine like stars lighting up a dark world on
Speaker 2: a beautiful image that you live such a clean life.
Speaker 2: You live, such a life of integrity, You live such
Speaker 2: a life of purity. You live with a clear conscience,
Speaker 2: You live with such authenticity. Your life is an open
Speaker 2: book in such a way. When people look at you,
Speaker 2: go man, they are a star. And it's like when
Speaker 2: you take diamonds, a jeweler will always with diamonds on
Speaker 2: black velvet. Why because they shine brighter against a black backdrop.
Speaker 2: And as the world and culture becomes more dark, as
Speaker 2: cultures crumble, Christians are to shine brighter and brighter. Let
Speaker 2: me show you a couple of other verses that say
Speaker 2: the same thing. Psalone nineteen one and two says, this
Speaker 2: happier those who live pure lives, who follow the Lord's teaching,
Speaker 2: keep his rules, and who try to obey him with
Speaker 2: their whole heart. Jesus said it like this, Blessed are
Speaker 2: the pure in heart, for they shall see God. You
Speaker 2: know what the word blessed means. It's the word for
Speaker 2: happy in Greek. When Jesus gets up and does the beatitudes.
Speaker 2: Blessed to you when you do this, Blessed to the meek,
Speaker 2: Blessed to the poor and spirit you know, blessed her
Speaker 2: you and you hunger and thirst for righteous. He's saying,
Speaker 2: let me give you eight ways to be happy. He
Speaker 2: starts a sermon, the greatest sermon ever on eight ways
Speaker 2: to be happy, and he says, Blessed are the pure
Speaker 2: in heart, for they shall see God. You're going to
Speaker 2: be the happier your heart is. It's because it's a
Speaker 2: pure heart. It's a clean heart. Psalm thirty two, verse
Speaker 2: one tells us what to do when we don't have
Speaker 2: a clean heart, because a lot of us you say, well,
Speaker 2: wait a minute, I'd like to be happy, but how
Speaker 2: can I keep my conscience clear when it's not clear?
Speaker 2: Right now? Well, then you need to do what. Psalm
Speaker 2: thirty two to one says, what happiness for those whose
Speaker 2: guilt has been forgiven? What joys when sins are covered over?
Speaker 2: What relief for those who have confessed their sins and
Speaker 2: God has cleared their record. That's I call that the
Speaker 2: soap dish verse of the Bible. It just cleans us.
Speaker 2: Now circle the word happiness and joy, and relief. You know,
Speaker 2: those are three things that everybody is looking for in life.
Speaker 2: We all want to be happy, We all want to
Speaker 2: be we all want to enjoy life, and we all
Speaker 2: want relief from our pain. And the Bible says it
Speaker 2: comes from purity, and purity comes from forgiveness, from God's grace.
Speaker 2: What happiness? What rejoy? What relief? For those who confess
Speaker 2: their sins and God has cleared their record. So here's
Speaker 2: a third exercise to maintain a happy heart. I got
Speaker 2: to keep a clear conscience. That means I keep short
Speaker 2: accounts with God. That means at the beginning and at
Speaker 2: the end of every day, I do a spiritual inventory
Speaker 2: and I say, God, is there anything between me and you?
Speaker 2: I'm not going bed tonight with junk. I had some
Speaker 2: garbage today that I picked up from bad attitudes, bad reactions,
Speaker 2: things I said, things I did, And I'm not going
Speaker 2: to climb into bed tonight with this sack of garbage
Speaker 2: and get up in the morning and carry it off again. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna deal with it. You practice what's called spiritual breathing.
Speaker 2: You breathe out your sins in confession. You breathe them in.
Speaker 2: You breathe them in a breathe in God's power and cleansing.
Speaker 2: If we confess our sins, He's faithful and just to
Speaker 2: cleanse us from all unrighteousness. God has promised us. So
Speaker 2: I keep my conscience clear, I keep short to counsel God.
Speaker 2: I don't what would it How would your house smell
Speaker 2: if you took out the garbage once a week? Pretty stinky.
Speaker 2: You usually have to take it out every day, and
Speaker 2: you need to do that spiritually too. You need to
Speaker 2: take out the garbage every day. And if you do that,
Speaker 2: you'll have a happier heart. You have confession to God
Speaker 2: every day, and you get cleansing and forgiveness. Number four.
Speaker 2: The fourth exercise to maintaining a happy heart is the
Speaker 2: next verse, verse sixteen. And this is that I need
Speaker 2: to memorize God's word and live it now. This is
Speaker 2: an extremely important habit of happiness. I've told you many
Speaker 2: times that if you're feeling depressed, if you're acting depressed,
Speaker 2: it's because you feel depressed. And if you're feeling depressed,
Speaker 2: it's because you're thinking depressed thoughts. If you want to
Speaker 2: get out of your depression, you change the way you
Speaker 2: think you be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
Speaker 2: and you have to change your mind. And how do
Speaker 2: you do that? How do I wash out the depressive
Speaker 2: thoughts in my minds? Well, there are many ways. Sometimes
Speaker 2: there's a chemical way, you know, if there's a chemical reaction,
Speaker 2: and sometimes there's an emotional way, and sometimes there's a
Speaker 2: relational way, and sometimes there's a spiritual way. The Bible
Speaker 2: talks about the washing of the water of the word.
Speaker 2: If I choose to dwell on a worry, have you
Speaker 2: noticed when you dwelling worry, it gets bigger. It don't
Speaker 2: gets smaller. The more you worry about something. The more
Speaker 2: you worry, it gets bigger and bigger and bigger. Now,
Speaker 2: if you know how to worry, you already know how
Speaker 2: to meditate on the Word of God. Because worry is
Speaker 2: when you take a negative thought and you think on
Speaker 2: it over and over and over and over and over
Speaker 2: and over and over. That's called worry. When you take
Speaker 2: a passage of scripture and you think on it over
Speaker 2: and over and over and over and over, that's called meditation.
Speaker 2: And God has promised many, many wonderful benefits in your life.
Speaker 2: If you will meditate on the Word of God and
Speaker 2: then do it. You'll hear it and you'll study it
Speaker 2: and you memorize it. Do you remember when we did
Speaker 2: forty days on the Word. Do you remember the hand illustration.
Speaker 2: That might be a good idea to just go here
Speaker 2: and review that hand illustration. Okay, there are six ways
Speaker 2: that you can fill your mind with God's word. There
Speaker 2: are six ways you can get a grasp on God's Word.
Speaker 2: You can hear it, you can read it, you can
Speaker 2: study it, you can memorize it, you can meditate it
Speaker 2: on it, and you can apply it. Now look up here.
Speaker 2: If all you do, if your only intake of the
Speaker 2: Word of God is hearing the Word of God, you
Speaker 2: don't have a very good grip on the word. For instance,
Speaker 2: if I am trying to hold on the Word of
Speaker 2: God with just my pinky, Satan come along, he can
Speaker 2: easily pull that out. It's very easy to pull it out.
Speaker 2: Why because we forget ninety to ninety five percent of
Speaker 2: everything we hear within seventy two hours. That's why I
Speaker 2: never teach without handing you one of these things. Because
Speaker 2: this is going to last longer than your memory. And
Speaker 2: if you don't take notes, you're going to forget everything
Speaker 2: I've said by Wednesday except maybe five percent. And if
Speaker 2: you've never taken notes, you could have spent it saddle
Speaker 2: back for thirty years and only remembered five percent of
Speaker 2: everything I've said. And that's probably the jokes. So if
Speaker 2: all you do is hear the Word of God, your
Speaker 2: only intake of the Bible is coming to church, you
Speaker 2: have no grip on the Word of God, and it
Speaker 2: can be pulled out of your mind very very easily.
Speaker 2: But if you begin to hear it and you read it,
Speaker 2: now you read it every day, Now you got a
Speaker 2: better grip. Okay, you got a little bit better grip,
Speaker 2: and it's harder for Satan to pull it away because
Speaker 2: you're not just hearing it, you're reading it. You got
Speaker 2: a better grip. Okay. But if you hear it and
Speaker 2: you read it and you study it, and we talked
Speaker 2: about that in forty days a word, now you got
Speaker 2: a better grip. But if you start memorizing it, thy
Speaker 2: word have I hid in my heart that I sin
Speaker 2: against you? And you meditate on it, you really think
Speaker 2: about it, You're not gonna pull it out of my hand.
Speaker 2: And if I apply it, then I have a solid
Speaker 2: grip on the Word of God. Now why is that important? Well,
Speaker 2: let's look at what scripture says. Look at these look
Speaker 2: at these verses. The Bible says in verse sixteen, Well,
Speaker 2: beIN two sixteen, hold tightly to the Word of Life.
Speaker 2: And that's what I was just saying. You got a
Speaker 2: hold tightly. You got to get a good grip on it.
Speaker 2: You don't have a good grip on the b unless
Speaker 2: you're doing all six habits, hearing it, reading it, studying it,
Speaker 2: memorizing it, meditating on it. Then it can't be pulled out.
Speaker 2: Hold tightly, the Bible says, to the Word of God.
Speaker 2: Why should I do that? P Someone nineteen sixteen says,
Speaker 2: your principles make me happy, so I never forget your word.
Speaker 2: Now look at that verse for just a minute. Question
Speaker 2: you want to be happy? Obviously you do principles. God's
Speaker 2: principles make us happy. How do I remember God's principle?
Speaker 2: I never forget circle never forget. That means you need
Speaker 2: to memorize. You need to memorize. And you know that's
Speaker 2: why we do this a lot in services. Will memorize
Speaker 2: a verse in service because it's the only way you're
Speaker 2: never going to forget it is to memorize it and
Speaker 2: look at the next verse, lead me in the path
Speaker 2: of your commands, because that is where my happiness is
Speaker 2: fo Usually we're looking for happiness in all the wrong places.
Speaker 2: God says, happiness is found where in the path of
Speaker 2: God's commands. The fourth exercise is to maintain a happy
Speaker 2: heart by memorizing God's word and then living it. Get
Speaker 2: a grip hold tightly to the Word of life, Paul says.
Speaker 2: Now there's one more, and the fifth exercise in Paul's
Speaker 2: workout for a happy heart is this. It's the last verse,
Speaker 2: use my life to serve God by serving others. If
Speaker 2: I'm serious about happiness, and happiness is a serious subject,
Speaker 2: if I'm serious about being happy, I need to use
Speaker 2: my life to serve God by serving others. Now, the
Speaker 2: only way you can serve God is by serving others.
Speaker 2: You can't see God here on earth. He's invisible. So
Speaker 2: how do you serve God when you can even see him?
Speaker 2: You serve God by serving others. Jesus said in Matthew
Speaker 2: twenty five. Inasmuch as you've done it under the least
Speaker 2: of these, my brethren, you did it to me said,
Speaker 2: even if you give a cup of cold water in
Speaker 2: my name, He says, it as if you did it
Speaker 2: to me. When you're polite to people, when you're nice
Speaker 2: to people, when you're friendly, when you're helpful, when you
Speaker 2: serve others, God says, it's like serving me. Now, how
Speaker 2: does this bring happiness in my life? Because God wired
Speaker 2: the universe that happiness does not come from status. I
Speaker 2: know a lot of people's status who are very unhappy.
Speaker 2: Happiness does not come from your salary. I know a
Speaker 2: lot of wealthy people who aren't happy. It didn't come
Speaker 2: from status. It didn't come from salary. It doesn't come
Speaker 2: from sex, it doesn't come from success. It comes from service.
Speaker 2: God wired the universe that you are most happy when
Speaker 2: you were giving your life away. Why because He wants
Speaker 2: us to become like him. It's all about love. So
Speaker 2: the more I give my life away, the more I
Speaker 2: serve others, And the more I serve God by serving others,
Speaker 2: the happier I'm gonna be. Here's what Jesus said, If
Speaker 2: you insist on saving your life for yourself, you will
Speaker 2: lose it. Only those who sacrificially give away their lives
Speaker 2: for my sake. And for the sake of the good News,
Speaker 2: we'll ever know what it means to really live. And
Speaker 2: this is the fifth secret of a happy heart. You
Speaker 2: have to practice service and generosity every day. Practice service
Speaker 2: and generosity every day. Jesus said it like this. I
Speaker 2: didn't come to be served, but I came to serve
Speaker 2: and to give my life as a ransom for many. Jesus,
Speaker 2: that I came to serve and I came to give.
Speaker 2: Those are the two things that will bring more happiness
Speaker 2: in your life than anything else. Status won't. Success, won't, salary,
Speaker 2: won't sex, won't. Service will Jesus that I came to
Speaker 2: give and to serve. That those two words define what
Speaker 2: it means to follow Jesus. If you're not serving, if
Speaker 2: you're not giving, you're not following Jesus. It's just very simple.
Speaker 2: But Jesus wired the universe in such a way that
Speaker 2: the more I give myself away, the more God gives
Speaker 2: to me, the more I'm blessed, and the happier I am.
Speaker 2: Now notice this verse Philippians two seventeen and eighteen. Paul says,
Speaker 2: your faith makes you offer your lives as a sacrifice
Speaker 2: in serving God. Your faith makes you offer your lives
Speaker 2: as a sacrifice in serving God. That's using my life
Speaker 2: to serve God by serving others. But then Paul adds,
Speaker 2: if I have to offer my own blood, remember he's
Speaker 2: in jail, he's in prison, he's getting ready for execution.
Speaker 2: If I have to offer my own blood as a sacrifice,
Speaker 2: I'll be happy and full of joy, and you should
Speaker 2: be happy and full of joy with me too. I
Speaker 2: want you to circle the word sacrifice in that verse.
Speaker 2: Your faith makes you offer your lives as a sacrifice
Speaker 2: in serving. Those two words, sacrifice and serving are two
Speaker 2: of the keys to lifelong happiness, generosity and service. Giving
Speaker 2: my life and giving my resources. So let me ask
Speaker 2: you two very pointed questions. Number one, where do you
Speaker 2: sacrificially volunteer to serve others on a regular basis? I
Speaker 2: don't know. Would you like to be happier? Would you
Speaker 2: like more happiness in your life? You need to add
Speaker 2: sacrifice and serving in your life somehow. It's an essential
Speaker 2: exercise for a happy heart. I read two articles this week,
Speaker 2: one of them in an American medical journal and the
Speaker 2: other in Time magazine. One of them said that they
Speaker 2: have now proven that serving other people volunteering actually extends
Speaker 2: your physical life. You will live longer. If part of
Speaker 2: your life you give it away in unselfishly serving, sacrificing
Speaker 2: for others in some way, you will live longer. Studies
Speaker 2: have shown this. That's an amazing fact. And the other
Speaker 2: one was is that serving is one of the quickest
Speaker 2: ways to pull yourself out of depression. That's obviously not
Speaker 2: the only way, but it's one way to pull yourself
Speaker 2: out of depression by getting my focus off me and
Speaker 2: getting my focus on somebody else. God has wired the
Speaker 2: universe that through sacrifice and through serving, my joy goes
Speaker 2: up and my sorrow goes down. So where do you
Speaker 2: sacrificially volunteer to serve others on a regular basis? Let
Speaker 2: me ask you another one. Is your heart growing more
Speaker 2: generous every year? Are you more generous with your resources
Speaker 2: this year than you were a year ago? And are
Speaker 2: you more generous that year than you were the year before?
Speaker 2: Or are you stuck at the same level of generosity
Speaker 2: and wondering why you're stuck in unhappiness? Jesus said, it
Speaker 2: is more blessed to give than to receive. Remember what
Speaker 2: blessed means, Ma Carrios. It's happy. There's more happiness in
Speaker 2: giving than in receiving. Jesus says, my giving reveals the
Speaker 2: condition of my heart. He says, where your treasure is,
Speaker 2: your heart will be so. It only not only reveals
Speaker 2: my giving, reveals how happy my heart is. Giving also
Speaker 2: increases the happiness in my heart. It's an attitude. It
Speaker 2: is exercise and exercise that causes me to be happier.
Speaker 2: It is not an accident that the word miserable comes
Speaker 2: from the word miser duh. And the more miserly I am,
Speaker 2: it's mine, it's mine, it's mine. I'm gonna keep it,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hold on tightly. The more miserable I'm going
Speaker 2: to be. You know my testimony this I don't have
Speaker 2: to tell you about this one that as God has
Speaker 2: challenged me every year, ca and I determined that we
Speaker 2: would be more generous than the year before, and it
Speaker 2: has created a lot of joy. Now let me just
Speaker 2: close before you begin these exercises, these five workouts that
Speaker 2: Paul gives for more happiness in your heart. You know,
Speaker 2: if you were going to go to an exercise program,
Speaker 2: they always say, the first thing you do is you
Speaker 2: need to check with your doctor about any pre existing condition.
Speaker 2: Remember that they always said before attempting this, every book,
Speaker 2: every exercise, before attempting this, check with your doctor about
Speaker 2: any pre existing condition, because you might have a heart problem. Well,
Speaker 2: I'll tell you right now, spiritually, you have a heart problem.
Speaker 2: You got a coronary disease. It's called sin. And yes,
Speaker 2: you do have a heart problem. And that's why in
Speaker 2: order to before you can do these exercisees, you got
Speaker 2: to get your heart healed. The Bible tells us. You
Speaker 2: know what I love about the Bible, It's just honest.
Speaker 2: It always tells the truth, even when it's painful, even
Speaker 2: when you don't why, it tells us the truth. The
Speaker 2: Bible tells us that their hearts. Our hearts are often
Speaker 2: broken and bitter. The Bible tells us that our hearts
Speaker 2: are often sick and self centered. The Bible says that
Speaker 2: our hearts are often deceptive and discouraging, that we have
Speaker 2: an amazing ability to deceive ourselves. The Bible tells us
Speaker 2: that our hearts are often cold and calculating. The Bible
Speaker 2: tells us that our hearts are sometimes fearful, that sometimes
Speaker 2: our hearts are frustrating. We all have coronary disease. Spiritually,
Speaker 2: what we need is a new heart. What we need
Speaker 2: is a heart transplant. Now, I would like to recommend
Speaker 2: to you my favorite heart specialist. His name is doctor Jesus.
Speaker 2: All right, and let me tell you I've been going
Speaker 2: to him for like my whole life. Let me tell
Speaker 2: you why I like doctor Jesus as a heart specialist.
Speaker 2: He makes house calls. He has never lost a patient,
Speaker 2: not one. He doesn't charge anything. It's all grace. That's
Speaker 2: a good one. Uh, there's no way he will see
Speaker 2: you right now. He will see you right now. But
Speaker 2: the main thing is he species in heart transplants, you
Speaker 2: get a whole new heart. God doesn't just fix up
Speaker 2: your old one. He gives you a brand new heart.
Speaker 2: Ezekiel thirty six twenty six says this, I will give
Speaker 2: you a new heart with a new and right desire,
Speaker 2: and I will put a new spirit in you. And
Speaker 2: i will take out your heart hardened by sin, and
Speaker 2: I'll give you a new heart of love. Wow. Now,
Speaker 2: these are God's workout conditions for a happy heart. And
Speaker 2: remember the verse said you got to work out your
Speaker 2: salvation after what God has worked in. But you can't
Speaker 2: work on your salvation. You can't work out your salvation.
Speaker 2: You can't strengthen what God has given you until you've
Speaker 2: got it. You can't work out your salvation until God
Speaker 2: works it in you. How do I get it? Last
Speaker 2: verse on your outline, Acts four twelve can only be
Speaker 2: found in Jesus alone. In all the world. There's no
Speaker 2: other name. There is no one else whom God has
Speaker 2: given who can save us. So we start with that one.
Speaker 2: Let's bow our heads.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: As I told you, it's easy to explain these five exercises.
Speaker 2: In Paul's work Out for a Happy Heart, he says
Speaker 2: you must continue to work out. You can't just stop,
Speaker 2: But he says, first, God's got to work in both
Speaker 2: the will and act according to His good pleasure. You
Speaker 2: may have gone to church all of your life, or
Speaker 2: maybe this is your first visit. It really doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: You may be a religious person. You may be Catholic, Jewish, Buddhist, Baptist, Mormon,
Speaker 2: you know, Moslim or Muslim, or no other religion whatever,
Speaker 2: maybe an atheist. You still need a heart transplant, and
Speaker 2: salvation can only be found in Jesus alone in all
Speaker 2: the world. There's no one else whom God has given
Speaker 2: who can save us. So why don't you, in just
Speaker 2: sincerity and humility, talk to God right now? So I
Speaker 2: don't know what to say, Well, let me give you
Speaker 2: words to say. Just say something like this, Dear God,
Speaker 2: I need a new heart. Mine has been broken, battered, embittered.
Speaker 2: It's been fearful and frustrated. It's been cold and calculating.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's been deceptive, it's been discouraged. I've been fearful,
Speaker 2: and I've been frustrated, and sometimes I've been sick and
Speaker 2: self centered. And I need a heart transplant. Dear God,
Speaker 2: I want to become a new person inside. Jesus Christ,
Speaker 2: I ask you to do heart surgery on me today,
Speaker 2: as much as I know how. I ask you to
Speaker 2: come into my life life and work in me and
Speaker 2: give me both the desire and the ability to do
Speaker 2: the right thing. Lord, I can't do any of this
Speaker 2: work out until first you've done the working in. So
Speaker 2: I'm asking you to save me. I want to put
Speaker 2: my trust in you. I want to learn to love you,
Speaker 2: and I want to learn to follow you, Jesus, from
Speaker 2: this day forward as best I know how. And I
Speaker 2: pray this in your name Amen.

Speaker 2: And then Jesus said, go make disciples. That's evangelism. Baptize
Speaker 2: them into the Family of God. That's fellowship, a sign
Speaker 2: of fellowship. And then he said, teach them obey everything
