The third. 23 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:29.480 Are the circumstances of life, the trauma, the trouble, the pain, 24 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:34.200 the pressure, the problems, the stress, you know, the. 25 00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.719 Suffering in my life. What do I do this? Number three? 26 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:43.840 I can choose to trust God no matter what happens. 27 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:50.760 I can choose to trust God regardless of my circumstance, 28 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.879 and that gives you an identity nobody else is going 29 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.840 to have Romans eight, twenty seven to twenty nine. I 30 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:03.000 love this in the message. God knows us far better 31 00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.239 than we know ourselves. That's why we should trust him, 32 00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.039 not our own judgment. God knows us far better than 33 00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:10.840 we trust ourselves, so he knows better for. 34 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:11.840 Me than I do. 35 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.240 He knows us far better than we know ourselves. That's 36 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:19.840 why we can be so sure that every detail in 37 00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.680 our lives of love for God circle, every detail, every 38 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.919 detail in our lives of love for God is worked 39 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:32.120 into something good. It's not all good, but it can 40 00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.719 be worked into something good. God knew what he was 41 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:39.400 doing from the very beginning. I didn't, but he decided 42 00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.479 from the outset to shape the lives of those who 43 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:46.360 love him, that's you and me, along the same lines 44 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.599 as the life of his son. God's goal is to 45 00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:53.159 make me to make you like Jesus, his son. The 46 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.240 son Jesus stands first in the line of humanity. He restored, 47 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:02.680 and we see the original and intended shape of our 48 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:08.199 lives there in him. God wants to use every circumstance 49 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:10.599 in my life to make me like Jesus. So psal, 50 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:13.240 I'm thirty four to one. I will praise the Lord 51 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:18.360 no matter what happens. My friends, when you get to 52 00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:21.280 that point, that's a choice. When you could say I 53 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:25.159 will praise the Lord no matter what happens, it's the consisses. 54 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:25.719 I don't know. 55 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.800 Come on, hit me, hit me with your best shot. 56 00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.360 I will praise the Lord no matter what happens. 57 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:35.960 That is a confidence that is not built on money 58 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:41.080 or sex, or status or passion, possession, position, or it's 59 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.719 built on my relationship to God. And that can't be 60 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.360 taken from me. And I will praise the Lord no 61 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:51.000 matter what. And that is a confidence you can't get. 62 00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:51.879 Anywhere else in the world. 63 00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:54.080 And when you have that kind of confidence, you are 64 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:59.599 an amazing woman and you are an amazing man, because 65 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.919 most people never get that kind of confidence. But it's 66 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:10.000 an identity you're not gonna get anywhere else. I want 67 00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.280 you to write this down on your outline. I am 68 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.120 a product of my past, but I'm not a prisoner 69 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:21.040 of it. I am a product of my past. Yeah, 70 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:26.160 it has influenced me. My chemistry, my connections, my circumstances, 71 00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.199 They've all influenced me. I'm a product of my past, 72 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.600 but I am not a prisoner of it, and I 73 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:36.279 can be different. That leads me to number four, And 74 00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.000 this is a big one, the fourth choice. 75 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:45.040 I can choose what I think about now. 76 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.240 I can't choose what other people say about me or 77 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:50.399 what they say to me, But I can't choose what 78 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:54.240 I continue to allow in my mind. Yourself is created 79 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:56.399 by your memories. You know, I've studied this for years. 80 00:04:56.399 --> 00:05:00.160 I'm fascinated with the brain since I was born with 81 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.480 a brain dysfunction and has forced me to be dependent 82 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:08.279 upon God. Your memories actually come from two different parts 83 00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:08.920 of your brain. 84 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:10.040 Now. 85 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.920 The badful memories, the painful memories, the memories of shame, 86 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:17.439 the memories of guilt, the memories of anger, the memories 87 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.879 of embarrassment, they're all up there in the amygdala. Your 88 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.120 happy memories are in another part. You know what those 89 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:27.000 other memories they're never going away. But you can overwrite them. 90 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:32.240 You can overwrite them, and I can choose what I 91 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.560 think about. Yourself is created by your memories, and your 92 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.439 memories are created by your mental habits, the way you 93 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.439 choose to think. Every time you think a thought, it 94 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.480 creates an electrical current across your brain. It's kind of 95 00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:45.800 like if I were able to take the top of 96 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:47.399 my head off and show you if I think of 97 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.600 thought every time I think that same thought. 98 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:50.639 It's kind of like this. 99 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:56.560 Okay, kind of looks like me, doesn't it. Okay, that thought. 100 00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.759 The electrical current goes across your brain when you think 101 00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.079 of it creates a pattern. You think it again, a 102 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:04.879 bigger pattern. When you think a thought a thousand times, 103 00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:07.639 it creates a rut. Some of you have a grand 104 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.759 canyon of doubt in your mind. Some of you have 105 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:17.319 a grand canyon of depression in your mind. Now, for years, 106 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:19.920 there wasn't a whole lot of hope that anything could happen, 107 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:24.079 because for years science has taught, in fact, the entire 108 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:28.480 twentieth century, everybody thought that the adult brain could not 109 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.040 be changed. This is a standard you read any science 110 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:36.279 textbook that your brain was pretty much formed as a 111 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:40.120 child in infancy and then became much more a little 112 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:44.079 more formed in childhood, and by the time you got 113 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.920 to be an adolescent, your brain was pretty much shaped 114 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.480 and formed. And for the entire twentieth century people basically 115 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:56.920 believed the adult brain cannot be changed. But then a 116 00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:02.480 guy won the two thousand and two Nobel Prize in Neurobiology, 117 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:08.120 reproving that you can rewire the adult brain. You can 118 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.480 change your brain. It is elastic, it is not in concrete, 119 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:17.079 and your brain can change, and it can be rewired 120 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:22.199 regardless of what's happened in your past. You can change now. 121 00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:29.319 It's great that science finally caught up with the Bible, 122 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:34.839 because two thousand years earlier, in Romans twelve, God said this, 123 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.079 don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, the 124 00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:43.800 habits and their pattern of thinking. But let God transform you. 125 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.680 Change your mind, change your brain, transform you. You know 126 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:50.639 what that word transform is in Greek metamorphosis. It's a 127 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:53.680 Greek word metamorphosis. It's what a cocoon goes through to 128 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.720 become a butterfly. Let God turn you from a caterpillar 129 00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:01.959 to a butterfly. Let God metamorphosize your brain. Let him 130 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:05.720 transform you into a new person by changing the way 131 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:09.720 you think, change your brain, change your life. 132 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:11.680 How do you do that? 133 00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:17.560 You must feed your brain with truth. Whatever you feed 134 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.639 your brain garbage in, garbage out. Now in your brain, 135 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.560 you've got this scale between the negative and the positive, 136 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:27.319 and everything in the world is putting negative in your life. 137 00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:30.839 You're no good, you're worthless, you don't amount to much, 138 00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.960 you're not sexy, you're not coordinated, you're not smart, you're 139 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:34.559 not athletic. 140 00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:36.679 Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah wow wah wow, 141 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:37.200 wah whah. 142 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.000 And it's adding all these things. And on this scale, 143 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:43.480 you're putting pebbles of truth, positive pebbles of truth on 144 00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.279 one side of your brain, or you're putting negative pebbles 145 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:51.240 of the world's lies on Satan's lies in your life. Now, 146 00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:54.360 when you get more negative thoughts in your life than 147 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.159 positive thoughts, the truth of God's word and the scale 148 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.840 tips like this, the negative got up the most. That's 149 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:06.559 called depression. You gotta change it. 150 00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.360 You're listening to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope.

That's pastorick dot com. 154 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.879 The truth is most of us don't pay much attention 155 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.080 to our health until something goes wrong. We put on 156 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.600 a couple of pounds every year and think no big deal, right, 157 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.559 But a few pounds over five or ten years really 158 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.559 adds up and it can even lead to major illnesses 159 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:44.600 like diabetes and heart disease.

You read it, 187 00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:25.320 you memorize it, you meditate it, You do the forty 188 00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:28.759 days in the words stuff we talked about, and you 189 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.519 write little cards down and you memorize the Word of God, 190 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.440 and you write out affirmations based on the Word, and 191 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.960 you feed your mind. And the more you every time 192 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:41.360 you put these pebbles, suddenly the. 193 00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:41.120 Scales start telthing. 194 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:41.399 Uh. 195 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:46.039 And when you get here where they're equal and you 196 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.679 have as many negatives as you have positive. You know 197 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.879 how you feel, you don't you feel nothing? You say 198 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:57.519 I feel empty, I feel blah. Well, congratulations, you've moved 199 00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:02.799 from depression. Okay, you say I don't feel anything. I'm 200 00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:05.360 not happy, but I'm just not sad anymore. Fine, you've 201 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.480 moved to hear. That's called blah. But the more you 202 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:12.120 keep feeding your mind with the word of God, that's 203 00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:15.519 a technical term, it's in the dictionary. The more you 204 00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:17.360 feed your mind with the world of God, all of 205 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:21.039 a sudden, when you get like this, that's called happiness. 206 00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:26.159 And happiness is a choice. Don't blame anybody else for 207 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:29.480 your unhappiness. You're as happy as you choose to think. 208 00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:32.799 You're as happy as you choose to believe. You're as 209 00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.600 happy as you choose to fill your mind with the 210 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:41.960 right things Philippians four eight. Here on the screen, dear 211 00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:45.279 brothers and sisters, let me say one more thing as 212 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:49.399 I close this letter. Fix your thoughts. That means intentional. 213 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:54.159 It's an intentional focus. Fix your thoughts. Fix your thoughts 214 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:57.960 on what is true and honorable and right. You need 215 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:00.519 to fill your mind with the truth, not lies. You 216 00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:02.879 need to mind fill your mind with what's honorable, with 217 00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:06.600 the right thing, not the wrong thing. Think about things 218 00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:11.000 that are pure and lovely and admirable. That doesn't sound 219 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:16.840 like television. Not many admirable, pure and lovely things on television. 220 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.879 Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. 221 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.320 That means you get the garbage out of your life. 222 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:25.399 You don't watch junk TV. There's some movies you don't 223 00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:27.039 go to, and there's a lot of books you just 224 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:30.279 don't read because you think about things that are excellent 225 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.720 and worthy of praise. Now, let me give you a 226 00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:34.720 suggestion on how. 227 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:35.080 To do this. 228 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:37.679 Those of you who are interior decorators are going to 229 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:43.240 hate me for this. Don't put stuff on your walls 230 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:48.080 that doesn't inspire you. Don't put stuff on your walls 231 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:53.159 that doesn't mean anything to you. Surround yourself visually and 232 00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:58.080 orally with things that create good memories that tell you 233 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:02.759 who you are and tell you whose you are, so 234 00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:03.519 you see it. 235 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:04.039 All the time. 236 00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:07.440 Put the Word of God on your walls. Put promises 237 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:10.240 on the wall, Put beautiful sunsets on the old. Put 238 00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:14.240 whatever inspires you. Put things that create the positive memories 239 00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:17.080 in your life. To reinforce those things the best of 240 00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:19.720 both worlds is to take a positive memory from your 241 00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:21.960 past and put a scripture on it. I was talking 242 00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:24.279 to the guy I work out with every day, and 243 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.200 he was showing me that he grew up on a 244 00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:29.240 farm in Nebraska, and he took this beautiful picture of 245 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:32.080 the pathway down from his old house, and at the 246 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.919 bottom he wrote a scripture on I will follow your paths, 247 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:39.440 O Lord. That's combining a beautiful memory with the word 248 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:42.879 of God, and that double reinforces it in his mind. 249 00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:46.320 You can rewire your brain. 250 00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:50.440 You can. It's a choice. 251 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:53.519 I can choose what I think about. I can choose 252 00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:57.440 my consciousness. Now there's one more choice that I can make, 253 00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:01.440 and remember, the fifth card is the wild card. This 254 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.399 is the wild card that can change the number and 255 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:08.639 the suit of the color of every other card that 256 00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:11.519 I've been dealt. And the fifth choice that I can 257 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:16.759 choose is this. I can choose Jesus as my savior. 258 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:20.960 And when I talk about savior, I'm not just talking 259 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.919 about saving you out of hell and into heaven. I'm 260 00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:26.360 not just talking about saving you from your sins and 261 00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:29.080 forgiving you. You ought to have done that. If you 262 00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:31.039 haven't done that, you need to settle that one today. 263 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:33.799 That's the first thing. But I'm talking about letting Jesus 264 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:39.279 be your savior every day. This changes everything because when 265 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:42.519 I choose Jesus as my savior every day, I get 266 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:47.519 the power to follow through on these choices. I can 267 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:49.519 make these choices, but I'm not going to stick with 268 00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:53.320 them on willpower. I've got to make choices and then 269 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:56.879 depend on Jesus to give me the power to do 270 00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:57.799 these things. 271 00:15:58.720 --> 00:15:59.679 I choose them as my savior. 272 00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:01.799 And I said, hey, Jesus, I need you to save 273 00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:05.840 me from my chemistry. I need you to save me 274 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:09.759 from my physical, emotional, mental defects. 275 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:11.120 I need your. 276 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:15.720 Salvation in my heart, body, mind. Jesus, I need you 277 00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:20.600 to save my relationships. They're going south. I need you 278 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:25.399 to save me to have healthy relationships, not hurtful harmfulness. 279 00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:28.960 And Jesus, I need you to save me from my circumstances, 280 00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:32.519 from the problems, from the pressures, from the trauma, from 281 00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:36.159 the trouble. And Jesus, I need you to save my 282 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:39.000 mind and help put a guard up there, help me 283 00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:40.919 put on the helmet of salvation. 284 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:43.720 What's a helmet for? To guard your mind? 285 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:47.200 So you've protected you from the thoughts that come in 286 00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:50.519 and influence because your mind controls your life. I need 287 00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:53.279 you to save me, Jesus, I need you to save me. 288 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:56.480 Not from sin, I need you to save me from myself. 289 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:02.360 The Bible says this on the screen. When someone becomes 290 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:05.480 a Christian, he becomes a brand new person. Inside. He's 291 00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:08.200 not the same anymore. A new life has been done. 292 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:12.599 It's like being born again. It's like starting over. That's 293 00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:18.119 a whole new identity. Now you think that you're waiting 294 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:20.480 on God to change something in your life. God, I've 295 00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:21.680 really wanted to be married. 296 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:22.960 God. 297 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:27.680 I've really wanted to get healthier. God, I've really wanted. 298 00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:28.519 To have that job. 299 00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:31.640 God, all those things that you think you're waiting on 300 00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:34.599 God for God says, I'm waiting on you to use 301 00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:38.160 the wild card I gave you, because according to your faith, 302 00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:40.480 it will be done unto you. 303 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:45.000 Pray this prayer, Dear God. 304 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:48.279 There are some things in my hand that you've dealt me, 305 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:51.440 and that life has dealt me, and that others have 306 00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:55.799 dealt me that I don't like. But I thank you 307 00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:02.839 for the wild card that you made me in your image, 308 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:08.720 and I can make choices. So today in your power 309 00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:15.599 and in your strength, I choose to get healthier. I 310 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.880 choose to do the things that will give me more 311 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:25.400 energy and a healthier body, and a healthier mind and 312 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:26.799 healthier emotions. 313 00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:28.240 You made my body. 314 00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:33.400 Lord, Now give me sense to heed your laws, and 315 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:35.200 you think about what you need to do in a 316 00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:41.960 practical way to get healthy or healthier. Then say, Lord, 317 00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:49.519 I choose to build healthy relationships. I am so scared 318 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:52.759 to death, but I'm going to risk building some new 319 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:54.920 healthy connections. 320 00:18:57.079 --> 00:18:57.799 Jesus Christ. 321 00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:01.920 I want my heart to be filled with you by faith, 322 00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:04.440 and I want to be strong in love, and I 323 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:04.759 want to. 324 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:05.759 Be built on love. 325 00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:13.599 Dear God, thank you that I can choose, and I 326 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:19.039 do choose what I think about. No more garbage in 327 00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:24.440 my mind, no more junk, no more pornography, no more 328 00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:30.319 gross stuff. I choose to think about what you want 329 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:35.440 me to think about. Most of all, Jesus, I choose 330 00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:40.400 you as my savior, and I pray this in the 331 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:42.000 name of my Savior, Jesus. 332 00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:43.920 Amen. 333 00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:49.119 Hi, everybody, this is Rick and I hope you enjoyed 334 00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:52.480 today's broadcast.

But first, 348 00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:38.240 the truth is that most of us don't pay much 349 00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:42.480 attention to our health until something goes wrong. We put 350 00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:44.880 on a couple of pounds every year and think no 351 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.200 big deal, right, But a few pounds over five or 352 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.839 ten years can really add up. That's why Pastor Rick 353 00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:55.920 Warren has put together the Daniel Plan DVD study kit. 354 00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:00.240 This sixth session video based study by Rick Warren, doctor 355 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.920 Daniel Ayman and doctor Mark Hyman is an out of 356 00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:12.000 the box approach to a healthy lifestyle based on five essentials, faith, food, fitness, focus, 357 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:16.599 and friends.

Now one of the ways that we 377 00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:24.839 use is by broadcasting on radio stations just like the 378 00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:26.240 one you're listening to right now. 379 00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:27.000 Now. 380 00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:31.240 You may not know this, but purchasing radio airtime is 381 00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:36.160 a significant expense for our ministry. But we want to 382 00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:38.559 bring this teaching to you, and we believe you are 383 00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:41.559 worth it. Now. In order to be good stewards of 384 00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:44.680 the gifts that God has given us, we're only able 385 00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:48.440 to continue on the air on stations we're listener supporters. 386 00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:51.559 Let us know that they're listening to the programs. That's 387 00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:54.519 why it's very important that you let us know the 388 00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:58.759 call letters and the city of your radio station when 389 00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:03.079 you give any kind of gift or support to Daily Hope. 390 00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:06.400 This is very important. Let us know your call letters 391 00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:09.119 and the name of the city that you are hearing 392 00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:10.039 this broadcast. 393 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:10.640 Now. 394 00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:13.319 I realize that some of you can't afford to help 395 00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:16.319 us out financially. That's okay. We love you, We thank 396 00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:18.720 God for you. We want to minister and serve you. 397 00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:21.920 Everybody in the Body of Christ has different gifts to 398 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:25.720 share at different times in life. You can pray for 399 00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:28.799 us and there will be others of you who can 400 00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:32.960 give generously so that God can continue to spread this 401 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.279
