Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

God bless you. It's great to be with you today and I hope you'll stay connected with us during the week through our daily podcast,

our YouTube channel, social media, and you can come visit us in person.

We'd love to have you be a part of one of our services.

I'd like to start with something funny, and I heard about this couple.

They were planning their wedding.

They asked the bakery to inscribe the scripture reference 1 John 418 on the

cake. It says there is no fear in love, but perfect love cast out fear. Well, the baker accidentally

left off the one and instead inscribed John 418. It reads, for you have had five husbands and the man you're with now

is not your husband. A small mistake. Okay, y'all say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says

I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. I boldly

confess, my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name,

God bless you. I want to talk to you today about reframe it. How you see things will determine how you're going to

live. We don't always see them as they are. We see them as we are. We all have filters from which

we view the world, how we were raised, past experiences, our personality, the culture. All these things affect our perspective.

You can take two people and put them in the same situation. A lot of good things happening

and a few negative. One will be happy, content, enjoy in life. The other will be discouraged,

worried, complaining about where they are.

The difference is their filter.

If your filter is contaminated, it's going to distort everything you see and make you negative and critical and I can't overcome this challenge.
