Now, the reason why most people are ineffective in life and actually fail at life and actually

don't enjoy life is because they've never learned how to fight the battle of the mind.

The power of your mind, the power of your thoughts has tremendous ability to shape your life

for good or for bad.

And if you accept the thought, if growing up somebody said to you, you're worthless,

you're no good, you don't matter, you're ugly, you're uncoordinated.

If you accepted that fact with it was right or wrong, it's shaped your life.

And it doesn't even have to be true.

If you believe it, it's going to shape your life.

And a lot of you were taught things as a kid about you that just weren't true.

And years later, you're still acting on false information.

Be transformed by changing the way you think because my thoughts control my life.

Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world.

But let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.

God is far more interested in changing your mind than in changing your circumstances.

We want God to change our circumstances.

We want Him to take away all the problems, all the pain, all the sorrow, all the suffering,

all the sickness, all the sadness.

And God says, yeah, yeah, I know that's important, but really more important than that is what's

happening in you.

And I'm far more interested in changing your mind before we change your circumstance.

Because nothing happens in your life until you get the renewing of your mind.
