00:00You
00:10Exercising faith, the journey of the mind in scripture.
00:15What if faith is not only what you believe, but what you repeatedly train your mind?
00:20What if every time you choose trust over fear?
00:25Truth over lies, obedience over impulse.
00:28You are strengthening spirit.
00:30Spiritual pathways that shape your future.
00:33Scripture never separates faith.
00:35God commands us to renew the mind.
00:39God...
00:40Take thoughts captive.
00:42Set our minds on things above.
00:45That is not emotional language.
00:47That is disciplined instruction.
00:50Faith is not passive.
00:51Faith is exercised.
00:53In this study, you will...
00:55Discover how God works with your mind.
00:58How doubt does not...
01:00Disqualify you.
01:01How fear is restored through relationship.
01:05And how lasting transformation comes through daily...
01:10Mental and spiritual practice.
01:12If you ever struggled with overthinking...
01:15Inconsistency, fear, identity, or spiritual growth...
01:19This study is...
01:20For you.
01:20Stay with us.
01:21This will change how you understand faith.

02:18Exercising faith.
02:20As you can see on the screen...
02:21Our main verse comes from the book of Romans chapter 12...
02:25Verse 2...
02:27Reading from the Amplified Classic version...
02:30Do not be conformed to this world...
02:32This age...
02:33Fashioned after an...
02:35Adapted to its external...
02:37Superficial customs...
02:39But be...
02:40Transformed...

02:53What is the good...
02:54And acceptable...
02:55And perfect will of God...
02:55Even the thing...
02:56Which is good...
02:57And acceptable...
02:58And perfect...
02:59In his sight...

03:01Hallelujah...
03:03Hallelujah...
03:04Hallelujah...

03:21So does the Lord...
03:22So that's why we are here...

03:43Welcome...
03:44Welcome...

03:47A Christian ministry...
03:48And...
03:49The boost...
03:50This program...
03:51Which is...
03:52This program...
03:53Is...
03:54Every Wednesday...
03:558pm...
03:56Australia...
03:55And...
03:56Eastern Standard Time...
03:57So...
03:58Wherever you are in the world...
03:59Just take that into account...
04:00It's basically a time...
04:01Where we spend...
04:02At least an hour...
04:03Sometimes an hour and a half...
04:04Encouraging you...
04:05Giving you a boost...
04:06In your faith...
04:07So...
04:08It is...
04:09Mainly...
04:10Focus...
04:10For...
04:11The Body...
04:12Of Christ...
04:13Scripture...
04:14Consistent...
04:15Connects...
04:16Faith...
04:17With...
04:18Thinking...
04:19Yes...
04:20It's not just some spiritual thing...
04:22All the time...
04:23And you have to feel all these...
04:24Goosebumps...
04:25Some bubbles...
04:26And whatever...
04:27No...
04:28It...
04:29Does...
04:30Connect...
04:30Faith...
04:31With...
04:32Thinking...
04:33Remembering...
04:34Choosing...
04:35Focusing...
04:36We are...
04:37Told...
04:38To...
04:39Renew...
04:35The Mind...
04:36Guard...
04:37The Heart...
04:38Take...
04:39Thoughts...
04:40Captive...
04:40And...
04:41Set...
04:42The Mind...
04:43On...
04:44Things Above...
04:45These are not emotional suggestions...
04:45But intentional...
04:46Mental...
04:47Practices...
04:48Rooted in a relationship with God...
04:50Neuroscience now confirms what the Word of God
04:55has always revealed. Repeated thought form patterns.
05:00Repeated thoughts form patterns. Repeated thoughts.
05:05Form patterns. You get my point, right?
05:07And patterns shape character.
05:10Direction and destiny.
05:12That's right.
05:12So while Neuroscience...
05:15Neuroscience studies how the brain forms habitat.
05:20Scripture addresses the same human processes.
05:25Using the language of the heart and mind.
05:28The Bible does not ignore mental struggles.
05:30Instead, it shows how God meets us in fear, doubt...
05:35Exhaustion and confusion while patiently leading us...
05:40...back into trust and obedience.
05:42So this study today will explore...
05:45...how faith functions as an active discipline of the mind.
05:50...how God restores thinking...
05:53...and how doubt does not...
05:55...disqualify us...
05:57...from a relationship with Christ Jesus.
05:59So the following...
06:00...other topics and subtopics we'll be discussing today...
06:02...which does sound like a lot...
06:04...but we will cover...
06:05...and it's not a lot.
06:06We will touch on them...
06:07...on a very basic introductory level.
06:10So number one...
06:11...faith and transformation.
06:14Number two...
06:15...thoughts shape direction and behavior.
06:17Number three...
06:18...focus and mental...
06:20...direction.
06:21Number four...
06:22...fear, anxiety and God's peace.
06:25Number five...
06:26...self-discipline and spiritual growth.
06:29Number six...
06:30...identity and belief systems.
06:32Number seven...
06:33...journey of the mind.
06:34...
06:35Number eight...
06:36...doubt does not disqualify faith.
06:38Number nine...
06:39...faith...
06:40...as an ongoing mental practice.
06:42Number ten...
06:43...summary...
06:44...and number eleven...
06:45...declarations.
06:46All right.
06:47Let's...
06:48...begin our study.
06:49Do you want some?
06:50Yes.
06:50Okay.
06:51Number one...
06:52...faith and...
06:53...faith and...
06:54...faith and...
06:55...transformation.
06:56Okay.
06:57Transformation starts with a...
07:00...changed...
07:01...mind.
07:02Not just changed actions.
07:04Script...
07:05...the scripture shows that God...
07:06...reshapes how we think...
07:08...desire...
07:09...and...
07:10...see the world.
07:11Not only what we do.
07:13So Romans 12 verse 2.
07:15Ephesians 4 verse 23.
07:18Psalm 51 verse 10.
07:20Confirm this amongst others.
07:22Neuroscience points out that...
07:24...repeated...
07:25...thoughts...
07:26...and...
07:27...habits...
07:28...can reshape the brain's...
07:29...pathways...
07:30...the time...
07:31...which echoes the biblical idea...
07:33...that renewal...
07:34...is...
07:35...is...
07:36...a gradual...
07:37...practice process...
07:38...not instant.
07:39So faith is...
07:40...therefore...
07:41...not just a one-time choice...
07:42...but a daily decision...
07:44...to align...
07:45...our thoughts...
07:46...with God's truth.
07:47Take up your cross...
07:48...what?
07:49...daily...
07:50...in another word.
07:50So as Psalm 51 verse 10...
07:53...tells us in the Amplified Classic...
07:55...it expresses...
07:56...create in me...
07:58...a clean heart, O God.
08:00...and renew...
08:01...a right...
08:02...persevering...
08:03...and steadfast spirit within me.
08:05The Bible consistently shows...
08:07...that faith develops...
08:08...through mental...
08:10...emotional...
08:12...and...
08:13...spiritual stages.
08:15Faith in Scripture...
08:16...is not a denial...
08:18...of struggle...
08:19...it is a...
08:20...movement toward God...
08:22...in the midst...
08:23...of struggle.
08:25...let me say that again...
08:26...faith in Scripture...
08:28...is not a denial...
08:30...of struggle...
08:31...it is a...
08:32...movement...
08:33...toward God...
08:34...in the midst...
08:35...of struggle...
08:36...do you think that man...
08:38...who went back to that river...
08:39...and dipped...
08:40...himself...
08:41...seven times...
08:42...did not have...
08:43...any doubts?
08:44...do you think it is...
08:45...didn't dip himself once...
08:46...came back...
08:47...with leprosy still...
08:48...twice...
08:49...came back...
08:50...with leprosy still...
08:51...three times...
08:52...came back...
08:53...with leprosy still...
08:54...four times...
08:55...five...
08:55...do you think...
08:56...he didn't get...
08:57...every time he dipped in...
08:58...he didn't get more doubt?
09:00...God still came through...
09:01...let me give you...
09:03...a life analogy...
09:04...slip...
09:05...like learning...
09:06...a new language...
09:07...the more you practice...
09:08...new patterns...
09:10...the more natural...
09:11...they become...
09:12...amen?
09:13...amen...
09:14...alright...
09:15...number two...
09:16...thoughts...
09:17...shape...
09:18...direction...
09:19...and behaviour...
09:20...see...
09:20...and thoughts...
09:21...and heart...
09:22...beliefs...
09:23...shape...
09:24...what we say...
09:25...do...
09:26...and choose in life...
09:25...um...
09:26...you can find that...
09:27...in Proverbs 4...
09:28...23...
09:29...Luke 6...
09:30...4...
09:30...45...
09:31...and...
09:32...so on...
09:33...what fills...
09:34...the inside...
09:35...if...
09:35...eventually...
09:36...shows...
09:37...on...
09:38...the outside...
09:39...now Proverb 23...
09:40...verse 7...
09:40...for as he thinks...
09:42...in his heart...
09:43...so is he...
09:45...as one who reckons...
09:47...he says to you...
09:48...eat and drink...
09:49...yet his heart...
09:50...is he...
09:50is not with you, but is grudging the cost. See, neurological
09:55side agrees that repeated thoughts patterns become our default setting.
10:00Influencing our habits and emotional reaction with, you know, like you see
10:05so used to react like that. You heard that saying, I'm so used.
10:08It's just a reflex. That's what
10:10it means. That is why scripture tells us to guard our hearts and minds.
10:15Not because God is harsh or is trying to control you like puppet, but because
10:20he knows that hidden thoughts patterns eventually become
10:25visible behavior, right? Very, very, um,
10:30you really need to think about that. I'll give you a life analogy that makes
10:34it a little bit easier.
10:35Like the roots of a tree determined the health of its fruit.
10:40Unseen thoughts, life-shaped, visible actions. You will see
10:45them by their fruit. You will know them by their fruit. Sorry. Number three, focus
10:50and mental direction. Okay. So peace is closely
10:55linked to where the mind is focused. Colossians 3 verse 2.
11:00Isaiah 26 verse 3. Philippians 4 verse 8 amongst others. Let me read
11:05Isaiah 26 verse 3 in the Amplified Classic. You will guard him and keep
11:10him in perfect and constant peace, whose mind both its
11:15inclination and its character is stayed on you because he can
11:20commit himself to you, leans on you and hopes confidently in you.
11:25Peace in scripture is not just a feeling that appears randomly.
11:30eyebrows from what the mind is steadily focused on.
11:33It flows
11:35nations
11:36organisations

11:56online
11:56attention and trust, he invites us to actively look.
12:01To him, to trust his goodness and to return our thoughts.
12:06To him, when they wander, as we do this, his peace guards our hearts.
12:11And minds, not as magic, but as the natural fruit of a mind.
12:16Fixed on him.
12:18So neuroscience observes that.
12:21What we repeatedly focus on.
12:26Strengthens certain brain pathways which can support either.
12:31Emotional stability or anxiety.
12:35This fits with.
12:36Scripture's called to fix our thoughts on what is true, good and.
12:41Godly.
12:42Let me give you life analogy.
12:44Like adjusting the steering wheel.
12:46Whilst driving, keeps a car in its lane.
12:51Focus keeps the heart from drifting.
12:56Number four, fear, anxiety and God's peace.
13:01Scripture acknowledges fear and anxiety, but responds to them with practices like.
13:06Prayer, thanksgiving and trusting God.
13:09Like we've been preaching so far.
13:11Philippians chapter four, verse six to seven, two Timothy one, seven and.
13:16Psalm 94, verse 19, all the scripture that confirms it.
13:21Now the word of.
13:21God does not shame us when we are anxious.
13:24Instant.
13:26God.
13:26Invite us into a peace that protects both heart and mind.
13:31See, I'll give you an.
13:31Example, Peter failed twice out of fear in the Bible when you read about, if you read about Peter.
13:36When he sank after walking on water, Matthew chapter 14, 30 to 30.
13:41And when he denied Jesus later needing restoration, John chapter 21.
13:46Verse 15 to 17.
13:48Yet we all know Jesus did not respond with condemnation.
13:51But with rescue, love and restoration.
13:56Showing that Peter was still welcome and cold.
14:00He's cold as.
14:01Saying that for those who are not Christian, like he's calling for what he needs to do.
14:06In ministry wise, despite his fear and failure.
14:10Now Jesus is not.
14:11Disappointed in Peter's fear.
14:15He was not even focusing on that.
14:16He.
14:16He is committed to Peter's growth.
14:20See, the part of it is this.
14:21When someone does something that disappoints us, most of the time we tend to.
14:26Focus on the disappointment.
14:28But Jesus is different.
14:31He.
14:31sees hope in us when we don't see hope.
14:34And he focuses on the growth of it.
14:36Now neuroscience notes the calming reflective practices.
14:41Is that calming reflective practices can regulate the body's.
14:46Stress response.
14:48In a similar way, a scripture offers a path of.
14:51Relational trust in God.
14:55Very important.
14:56Not just reading the Bible.
14:56It has to be a relational wise.
14:59Relational trust in God.
15:01And.
15:01Honest prayer as God's way of restoring inner peace.
15:05So if you want inner peace.
15:06This is the way to go.
15:08Life analogy for this one is this.
15:11Like a child.
15:11Calming down when held by a parent.
15:15Peace often comes through.
15:16Nearest.
15:18Nearness.
15:18Sorry.
15:19Not explanation.
15:21So.
15:21So in this section, I want to mention this.
15:24I see it like this.
15:25God.
15:26Holy Spirit will focus on the solution.
15:31To the root of the problem.
15:34That's right.
15:35We tend to focus on.
15:36Focus, which is a religious, traditional condemnation sort of attitude.
15:41We tend to focus.
15:41Focus on the outward action.
15:44What somebody's done bad.
15:46But if you focus on that.
15:49That person will never get out of that cycle.
15:51God.
15:51The way he focuses is on the solution.
15:56To the root of the problem.
15:59So he will recognize the root of the problem.
16:01And then he will focus on that solution.
16:04On applying that solution.
16:05To that person's life.
16:06So that person can walk in freedom.
16:09That's how God wants us to walk in.
16:11That's how.
16:11He wants us to look at our brothers and sisters.
16:13Especially.
16:14Yes.
16:16Amen.
16:16I've got to.
16:16As a life analogy for that bit.
16:18You just save.
16:19I read that somewhere today.
16:21This one.
16:21And that person said.
16:24Before you fill in the bucket.
16:26Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:29If I said it right.
16:30Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:30Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:31Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:32Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:33Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:34Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:35Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:36Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:37Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:38Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:39Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:40Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:41Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:42Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:43Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:44Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:45Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:46Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:47Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:49Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:50Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:51Fix the hole in the bucket.
16:521 Corinthians 9, verse 27, Galatians 5, 22 to 23.
16:57And so on, rather than just grit your teeth, human
17:02willpower that often
17:04runs dry,
17:06it's not
17:07about mustering more effort
17:09on our own.
17:10It's about yielding serenity
17:12surrendering to a higher power
17:14that empowers us from the inside
17:17out, as I was saying before.
17:19So Proverbs 16, 32.
17:22Proverbs 16, 32 in the Amplified Classic
17:25He who is slow to anger is
17:27better than the mighty.
17:28He who rules his own spirit,
17:30then he who
17:32takes a city.
17:33Wow.
17:34So the Holy Spirit
17:35cultivates this discipline through
17:37practiced obedience.
17:39Small, consistent choices
17:42to align with God's ways,
17:43like saying no to impulses or
17:47yes to prayer.
17:48Over time, these repeated acts
17:52builds not just habits or vices,
17:55but a transition.
17:57transformed character that reflects
18:00God's own spirit.
18:02steadfastness.
18:03Now, neuroscience observes that self-control
18:07improves with repeated effort,
18:10strengthening decision
18:12making systems.
18:13Scripture shows that discipline is not legalism.
18:17It is training that leads to freedom,
18:20as I was saying before.
18:22Focus on the solution to the root of the problem.
18:25That brings freedom.
18:26Don't focus
18:27focus on the action.
18:28That is a manifestation of the root of the problem.
18:32Mm.
18:33So let me give you a life analogy.
18:35Like muscles grow sh-
18:37stronger through repeated exercise.
18:40Discipline grows stronger
18:42through repeated obedience.
18:44Number six, identify
18:47identity and belief systems.
18:49We are called to think according
18:52to who we are in Christ,
18:54not according to fear or past fear.
18:57We often repeat the same negative cycle or responses
19:02which shaped by past trauma,
19:04that colors how we perceive and identify things.
19:07things in life.
19:08In some cases, even after deliverance,
19:11like George was saying,
19:12and
19:12by the way, we didn't plan the things that he said before.
19:15In some cases,
19:17even after deliverance or breakthroughs,
19:19without a renewed mind rooted in us,
19:22our identity in Christ,
19:23we tend to return to all patterns.
19:27True lasting change comes only through the transformative power of
19:32God's word.
19:33Neuroscience confirmed that identity-based
19:37beliefs shape long-term thinking patterns.
19:41Whereas faith
19:42. . . .
19:42faith includes learning to think in agreement with God's declaration over
19:47Allah . . . .
19:47faith.
19:48Now, just a second here.
19:49So, even neuroscience confirms that
19:52. . .
19:52identity-based beliefs shape long-term thinking patterns.
19:55That's right.
19:56Identity
19:57. . .
19:57diseases shaped beliefs
19:59. . .
20:00, . .
20:01. .
20:02. . .
20:03Remember that . . .
20:02Not just positive thinking and if that positive
20:07Thinking is not linked to your identity it will flutter it will
20:12Eventually just me just wander off. It won't it won't lie
20:17It won't last it must
20:22Be linked to your identity
20:26Okay
20:27Give your life an allergy
20:32It's your life analogy. Come on. All right life analogy like
20:37An adopted child learning to trust a new family
20:41Identity
20:42Grows through consistent reassurance and relationship
20:47Not tearing down but building up. That's right. In other words, all right
20:52Number seven
20:53Journey of the mind. That is an awesome one pay attention
20:56Journey of the mind
20:57And we're going to be focusing on elijah
21:00The prophets journey
21:02Victory to despair
21:06So in one kings
21:0718 to 19 elijah experiences a dramatic shift
21:12From bold victory over the prophets of baal on mount carmel to sudden fear and
21:17Despair when pursued by jezebel
21:20Let me give you some key points in that
21:22Story
21:23So after calling down fire from heaven elijah flee
21:27He's into the wilderness
21:29Overwhelmed
21:30Another key point
21:32Spirit
21:32Spiritual success
21:33Does not
21:34Eliminate
21:36Human stress
21:37So you can be very anointed
21:39So you can be very anointed
21:40It does not mean that you're not going to be stressful
21:42Some of the most amazing ministers in the history of humanity
21:46Charles Spurgeon
21:48Catherine Coleman
21:49They all suffered
21:50Heavily
21:52With depression
21:53And stress
21:54With depression
21:55And stress
21:56Elijah's focus
21:57Shifts
21:58From God's power
21:59To Jezebel's threat
22:01Hmm
22:02Another key point
22:04He expresses distorted thinking
22:07I alone am left
22:09They have destroyed the prophets
22:111 Kings
22:1219 verse 10
22:13And verse 14
22:14Exaggerating his isolation
22:16Despite
22:17God's prior
22:18Assurances
22:19Another key point
22:21Another key point
22:22Elijah fills his identity and mission
22:24Have lost
22:25All purpose
22:26How many of us
22:27Go through that
22:28We all go through it
22:29In the
22:30In our journey in life
22:31Especially
22:32Things take too long
22:33To come
22:34Maybe God just gave up on that
22:36Hmm
22:37The Bible
22:38Honestly records
22:39Such distorted thoughts
22:40Without
22:41Endorsing
22:42Them
22:43As truth
22:44So this reveals God's deep care
22:47And nothing about our struggle
22:49Surprises him
22:50Mm-hmm
22:52He meets us
22:53Right
22:54Where
22:55We
22:56Are
22:57So what is God's
22:57Response in the midst of all of this
22:59God
23:01Does not rebuke
23:02Him right away
23:03Instead
23:04He
23:05Focuses
23:06He
23:07First
23:08Provides
23:07Practical care
23:08Rest
23:09Food
23:10Through
23:11Angel
23:12And
23:13Safety
23:14In a cave
23:151 Kings
23:1619
23:17Verse
23:17Verses 5 to 8
23:18Will confirm that
23:19Only then
23:20Does God
23:21Address the root
23:22Issue
23:23Gently
23:24Correcting
23:25Elijah's
23:26False
23:27Assumptions
23:27With a whisper
23:28And
23:29Revealing
23:30He has
23:31Reserved
23:327,000
23:32Faithful
23:33In
23:34Israel
23:35You can see that in 1 Kings 19
23:36Verses
23:379
23:372
23:3818
23:39You see God understands that mental clarity
23:42Often
23:43Follows
23:44Physical
23:45Care
23:46That's very
23:47Important
23:48God understands that mental clarity often follows physical
23:52Care
23:53Then
23:54God replaces false beliefs with accuracy
23:57Truth
23:58That he was not alone
23:59He corrects perspective not worth
24:02We fall into that trap and then we start thinking we're not worthy that's why he's not
24:07Fulfilling it when he he when he does fulfill it
24:12Spit it out George
24:13He's correcting your perspective not
24:17Your worth
24:18So God restores understanding not just in
24:22Endurance
24:23Finally
24:24God restores Elijah's purpose by also committing
24:27Missioning
24:28Elisha
24:29As
24:30His successor
24:31He shows
24:32Smart's Compassionate Approach
24:33Meeting
24:34Physical
24:35And Emotional
24:36Needs
24:37First
24:38Then
24:39Renewing
24:37The Mind
24:38With Truth
24:39For Lasting Restoration
24:40Let me give you a life
24:42analogy
24:43Like
24:44Rebooting
24:45A device
24:46Computer
24:47Phone
24:48Whatever
24:47Before
24:48Before running a new software
24:49Before running a new software
24:50God restores strength
24:51Before
24:52Restoring
24:53Vision
24:54Very important
24:55If
24:56If
24:57Any of

25:41result we want so i wanna i want this result god if you give me that result
25:46i'll be happy but god is looking at you and saying but i need you you to rest i need
25:51you to be in the right mindset so i can give you that result then then you will not only appreciate
25:56it but that result will be a blessing unto you see if god give give us a result
26:01we want all the time without looking at our physical and our mental at in our emotional
26:06we'll not only make damage to ourselves but other people around us because
26:11believe it or not we are not alone whatever you do will affect someone or someone
26:16or someone or something in your life i didn't something i didn't your environment in your life
26:20okay let's come
26:21continue number eight doubt does not disqualify faith listen to this one because
26:26this is very important a lot of christians fall into this trap doubt does not disqualify
26:31faith now do you feel that doubting disqualifies you from approaching
26:36god i used to think like that a lot like i'll tell you what i'm like i'm doubting all
26:41i feel like i'm punishing myself it's also come from whichever kind of um um
26:46bringing you've had other christian and whichever denomination because every there is a slight difference
27:00you
26:51differences and i used to you know how they would um feel like you know i'm
26:56not worthy he loved me so much he downed the cross for me and i'm doubting him
27:01in certain things you know but i was looking at me instead of
27:06looking at god home to me you understand what i mean anyway let's continue that
27:11god does not disqualify faith uh-uh it does not push god away
27:16running from god does running from god does running from god do
27:21does listen to very carefully that's what the enemy wants you to do to think the enemy wants you
27:26think god is angry with you god wants to push you away you need to go far from god
27:31because you're not good enough so i'll say it again got a doubt does not this
27:36qualified faith it does not push god away but running from
27:41god does i will i will explain much more in a few seconds
27:46scripture shows people voicing honest question did you hear what i said
27:51that's the explanation if you have honest doubt right
27:56honest question was still turning to god so i'm not advocating
28:12you
28:01dating people that have doubt like god will um you can just use god as
28:15you
28:06a um you know like a genie and a wand so you don't you don't express in other words you don't
28:10express your doubt by speaking out your doubt you
28:15you can express your doubt but have faith through questions
28:27you
28:20you
28:22so instead of expressing that doubt in anger and
28:34you
28:36you
28:25you
28:30you
28:32you
28:34you
28:35a lot of christians just before you you go a lot of christians tend to use this and i don't
28:38like using that
28:39you
28:40you
28:42you
28:44you
28:45you
28:51you
28:50I will not believe unless I can touch.
28:53That's right.
28:54See what he did is.
28:55He expressed his doubt through like a question, through a.
29:00Desire.
29:02Because that shows desire.
29:04That shows desire.
29:05That he wants to see God.
29:06If God shows up, I'm going, I want to touch him.
29:08I want to make sure it's him.
29:10He expressed it in the right manner.
29:12So if your heart's in the right place and you're expressing it in the right manner.
29:15Even if there is doubt, God will meet that.
29:18And God in turn will.
29:20Wash away that doubt and increase your faith.
29:22That's right.
29:22And his faith in you.
29:23It's only when you are like bleeding.
29:25Doubting and you really have no respect, no awe of God and you're.
29:30Doubting, then don't expect God to come through for you because you yourself are pushing.
29:35God away, baby, stop it, you yourself are pushing God away like George says.
29:40When he does the salvation prayer, you might be safe.
29:42Why?
29:43Because it's a choice that you have.
29:45It's the same thing with that.
29:46If you have doubt and you're pushing God away.
29:50If you are trying to question God without letting him give you an answer or ministering onto you.
29:54Then that's.
29:55That's ain't going to work.
29:56So I'll say it again.
29:57Scripture shows people voicing honest.
30:00Ask questions while still turning to God.
30:03You see those in Mark chapter.
30:05Chapter 9 verse 24.
30:06Matthew chapter 14 verse 31.
30:09John chapter.
30:10John chapter 20 verse 27 and Isaiah 42 verse 3.
30:14The Bible never.
30:15present doubt as an automatic rejection by God.
30:20See.
30:20The imperfect faith is still faith.
30:25When it turns toward God.
30:27For example, in Mark chapter 9 verse 23 to 24.
30:30You, you, it talks about the father and the, and the son.
30:34So you.
30:35The son was possessed.
30:37The father was like, I need, I need someone to heal my kid.
30:40And the disciple couldn't do anything.
30:43When the father told Jesus, I.
30:45I do believe help my unbelief doubt and faith are present.
30:50Together.
30:51I'll say that again.
30:53He said, I do believe help.
30:55Help my unbelief doubt and faith are present together.
30:59Yet.
30:59Jesus.
31:00Still response with healing.
31:02True faith is not the absent of doubts.
31:05But the decision to bring them to God rather than turn away.
31:10He.
31:10He understands our weakness and draws near in our honest struggle.
31:15It's very important to understand that.
31:17Or if you don't understand, this is like a very foundation.
31:20thing for Christian to understand so that we can keep going closer to God and.
31:25It's spend time with God.
31:26Anyway, life analogy.
31:28Like learning to swim.
31:30While holding this instructor's hand, confidence grows through.
31:35Supported effort.
31:37Again, supported effort.
31:39Jesus supported.
31:40Like he is our strength in our weakness.
31:43Number nine.
31:44Faith as.
31:45Ongoing mental practice.
31:48Okay.
31:48So faith grows through ongoing.
31:50Practices like hearing God's word.
31:52Very important.
31:54Remembering his word.
31:55Fix trusting his promises and obeying his guidance.
32:00Remember.
32:00Romans 10 verse 17.
32:01So faith comes by hearing what is told and what is heard.
32:05That comes by the preaching of the message that came from the lips of Christ.
32:09The message.
32:10The Messiah himself.
32:12Scripture portrays it as a skill development.
32:15It's developed through repetition and perseverance.
32:18Much like neuroscience.
32:20Shows how repeated action strengthens neural pathways.
32:25So true faith is not blind optimism.
32:30The practiced trust rooted in God's proven knowledge.
32:35Faithfulness.
32:36Philippians 1 verse 6 in the Amplified Classic.
32:39Am I convinced.
32:40Am I convinced and sure of this very thing.
32:43And sorry.
32:44Let me say that again.
32:44Am I am.
32:45And I am convinced and sure of this very thing.
32:49That he.
32:50He who began a good work in you will continue until the day of.
32:55Jesus Christ right up to the time of his return.
32:58Developing that good work.
33:00And perfecting and perfecting and perfecting and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.
33:04You see God.
33:05He measures faith by direction not by speed.
33:10God.
33:10God measures faith by direction not by speed.
33:15God.
33:16God.
33:16He's very important.
33:16Let me give you a life analogy.
33:17Like practicing an instrument.
33:19Skill and confidence.
33:20grow with continued effort.
33:23All right, let's...
33:25We finished today's study with a summary just prior to our...
33:30Decorations, let's give you a summary.
33:34Right.
33:35This study teaches that faith is not only something we believe, but something we actively...
33:40Practice with our mind.
33:42Scripture consistently shows that thoughts...
33:45Focus, identity, and choices shape spiritual growth, and that...
33:50God works patiently with our mental and emotional struggles.
33:55In biblical instruction and the example of Elijah, this study demonstrates how God restores...
34:00us by first meeting physical and emotional needs, then renewing...
34:05thinking with truth.
34:06Doubt is not shown as a disqualifier from faith.
34:10But as part of a genuine journey, when brought honestly...
34:15faith to God.
34:16Ultimately, faith is presented as an ongoing mental and spiritual...
34:20discipline rooted in God's faithfulness, not in human perfection.
34:25Amen.
34:26All right.
34:27Number 11.

38:17this is very...
38:18very important...
38:19if you haven't made Jesus...
38:20Lord and Savior...
38:21you certainly made something else...
38:22whether it's money...
38:23whether it's gurus...
38:24whether it's...
38:25whatever He made...
38:25to you...

38:30word in 1 John 5...
38:314 to 5...
38:32tells us...

38:37our faith...
38:38exactly what I was just saying...
38:39right...
38:40now...
38:41you put your faith in something...
38:42you may say...
38:43I don't believe in anything...
38:44well...
38:45you do...
38:46because...
38:45that statement itself...
38:46requires...
38:47an absolute belief...
38:48in what you just said...
38:49so you do believe in...
38:50something...
38:51who is He...
38:52who overcomes the world...
38:53the reality is...
38:54we know...
38:55that we can...
38:55not do it...
38:56on our own...
38:57if you want to overcome...
38:58this world...
38:59doesn't mean...
39:00that you...
39:00you have it perfect...
39:01no...
39:02but you...
39:03overcome it...
39:04it's different from going...
39:05to survival mode...
39:06to survival mode...
39:07and going up and down...
39:08like a mountain...
39:09or like the sea...
39:10letting it take you...
39:11wherever...
39:12no...
39:13we are not meant to live like that...
39:14so who is...
39:15is He...
39:16whoever comes to the world...
39:17the Word of God tells us...
39:18but he who believes...
39:19that Jesus is...
39:20He is...
39:21the Son of God...
39:22He is not only the Son of God...
39:23He is...
39:24God...
39:25that's the only way...
39:26you can overcome this world...
39:27so what do I need to do...
