Thinking Higher

listen getting successful whatever you

consider successful if it's rich

whatever it's not a magic trick it's not

God picks certain people he'll make rich

and certain people he don't he gives all

of us as his children the power of

choice you have a say-so in that you can

decide to be rich and with God's help is

highly doable but you first have to

think it the difference between

successful people and non successful

people is here I'm no better than none

of y'all I'm not a better person than

you I'm not a better Christian than you

God don't love me more than you none of

that

if you want to be successful you have to

change this this has to change

[Applause]

listen to me it's not what makes it hard

is your lack of belief that it can

happen for you

the fact of it is though it's very

doable

see if but you got to change though if

you keep doing what you've been doing

you gonna keep getting what you've been

getting so if you're at a place in your

life and you ain't happy with it you

have to change some things but you have

to make a conscientious decision that

you're going to change and it's not

dependent on anybody else it don't

matter what your mama think is no matter

what your co-workers think you don't

matter what your siblings think no

matter what your children think it don't

matter they have nothing to do with it

this decision is yours and yours alone

it's two people born in a hospital

everyday it's a person is born in a

hospital that's gonna get a job and

somebody born in a hospital that's gonna

give them a job you get to decide which

one you gonna be

you get to decide let me tell you

something you get to decide if I'm gonna

be rich poor mediocre plentiful happy

sad you you have a decision to me your

mind all right here we go this is a

teaching moment let me give you this so

you can get on with your 2019 you walk

in the house you pick up the remote

control let me teach you how this works

and you press the power button when I

told you 2019 will be the best year of

your life but you have to claim it you

have to expect it to be the best year of

your life you have to live your life

with the expectation that great things

are coming your way and that's how it

works now let me teach it to you you

grab your remote you press the power

button what do you expect to happen you

expect the TV to come on guess what it

come on if you want to see SportsCenter

SportsCenter channel 46 and you press fo

six and okay or select what do you

expect to come on your TV SportsCenter

and guess what show up SportsCenter they

got the concept of creating a remote

from the Bible see God is tied to all of

this you better understand what I'm

trying to tell you

the Bible says a man is as he thinketh

God created us in His image God thought

of this world he thought of it so he

created it so he made you just like him

that your thoughts can create things he

made you just like him now you can't go

make earth in heaven like he did but you

can make a better world for yourself

there is a scripture Abeka 2 and 2 it

says write the vision and make it plain

so that he who reads it will run to it

and even though it pterri pterri mean

take a long time wait for it for surely

it will come at an appointed time that's

in the Bible that ain't in the rich

people's copy that's in everybody

everybody's Bible the problem is

everybody don't do it but he's right

there but you got to do it I'm just

telling you is it if you don't do it

it's too hard it's almost impossible

that vision board has changed well

everything I put on my vision board I

get everything well now you have to

understand something it's not gonna come

when you want it to come it comes at an

appointed time that's the trick but the

appointed time is what throw people off

because most of see when you ask God for

something he sends it he ships it

immediately as soon as you ask him

something you really believe here do it

he boxes it up and he ships it to you

immediately the problem with the package

is he never gives you the date that the

package is going to arrive he doesn't do

that he doesn't do that

because if he told you the date that the

package would rely would arrive it would

destroy the requirement he has of all of

us which is faith faith is the belief in

things that you cannot see so if you ask

God for a million dollars and he tell

you I'm gonna give it to you in March of

2020 you wouldn't need no faith you'll

be talking to people crazy because you

know in 2020 I'm gonna be a millionaire

but he sent a million as soon as you

asked for but it's going to come at an

appointed time the problem is people

stopped waiting on the package then when

it get to you because he delivers only

to faith Street when he delivers to you

on faith Street but you didn't stepped

off of faith Street you over here on

I'll see how circle he don't ship that

instead of staying on faith Street you

just stepped over here - I don't believe

it Boulevard or it took too long Avenue

then the package come to faith Street is

just like the post office and FedEx if

you ain't there to receive it it got to

go back that's how it worked man you

have control of this this belongs to you

this is yours

you're the captain you're the master

you're the foreman you're the general

you're the head don't give control of

this to nobody especially the devil do

not let Satan come in here and function

and operate because he has one mission

to keep you off course to make you not

think is possible to make you think that

God don't hear you his job is only to

destroy you to make sure that you don't

become well God intended for you to

become that's the mission of the devil

now if you don't believe in the devil at

this conversation aim for you if you

don't believe in God this conversation

ain't for you I'm not talking to you I'm

talking to people who are spiritually

based if you get control of this that's

why I'm telling you these two books um

look the the best book you can read is

the Bible if you read the book of

Proverbs over and over and over it's the

book of wisdom and understanding it

would really help your life man if you

just read I'm gonna be honest with you

that's the only book in the Bible I've

read cover to cover I've only read the

book of Proverbs

I've read some scriptures every now and

then I only know five or six scriptures

by heart I'm just gonna be real with you

but I've memorized them five or six

scriptures and then five or six got me

here today I know a lot of people that

know the Bible inside out ain't got none

to show for it you know why because they

memorized it but they didn't apply it I

have applied six scriptures to change my

life but these books that I told you

about the power of positive thinking by

Norman Vincent Peale and the magic of

thinking big by David Schwartz you know

what it does it just teaches you how

this works once you get this y'all you

can change everything do you understand

negativity let me just give you this

cinema walkaway negativity you can

protect yourself from negativity and

that's what stops most people negative

thoughts you can coat your mind from

negativity it's a real simple exercise

to do I do it every morning for I walk

out the door so I walk out as a positive

person you know I get tired sometimes

that's different from being negative

because I get mentally drained from my

job at time but to coach your mind from

negativity the way you can put a coating

around your mind is with one simple

thing gratitude gratitude erases

negativity I'm gonna show you how this

works if you wake up in the morning you

start having negative thoughts man this

ain't my day I woke up on the wrong side

of bed I'm tripping I just don't feel

myself every time you feel in the middle

of the day if you feel yourself doing

that stop just stop for a second

and start going over in your mind

everything you have to be grateful for

not everything you want everything you

already have because what you have is

substantial

you just haven't gone over the list and

taken inventory in a long time but the

fact that you can walk that's a blessing

the fact that you woke up

that's another blessing the fact that

you can see think reason that's another

blessing the fact that you can go

somewhere and get yourself something to

eat

that's another blessing the fact that

you can go and turn the key it calls

someplace home

that's another blessing the ability to

dream is a blessing the fact that you

have an opportunity to get it right is

another blessing the fact that you're

beautiful

that's another blessing the fact that

you have any measure of Health

that's another blessing and I'm just

talking to you out even though you I

could give you 50 things you ought to be

grateful for right now I don't even know

you start coding your mind with

gratitude interchange everything for you

god is good man you ought to give them a

chance to work in your life thank you

all for coming
