Hi, it's Joel and Victoria. What a joy to be with you today. We always count it an honor, know that we're praying for you and your family.
We sure hope you enjoy this podcast today, and we just are praying for you and know that God is for you, so enjoy today's message.
I want to remind every one of us today. that we are not victims to our circumstances, but we are victors. See God called us more than conquerors. We're not a slave to circumstances. We're not captivated by our own thoughts, but we can think the thoughts of heaven. We can literally think the thoughts of our champion, Jesus Christ. He says that we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. You know what, when I think of a conquer, you know what I think of? I I just picture this this ring with two boxers in there. And I think about these boxers and how they have those big old boxing gloves on and they they smack each other in the face. And you know what? They don't fall down. They keep on at it. They keep at it.
They keep at it. Because they're champions. They don't go into that ring thinking they're anything less but a champion. Now, if they get knocked down, have you ever watched them? They bounce back up. See, champions have bounce back in 'em. And God has called you a champion in Jesus Christ. God has said you have bounced back. But how do we keep this mental bounce back?
How does the ‘more than conquerors’ mindset change our thoughts and identity?
How do we keep this emotional bank account full? You see, just like you keep money in your bank, you wouldn't think about writing a check. Not having any money in your bank, so you work to keep money in your bank. You check your bank account. You make sure it's gonna cover your life, cover your bills, cover your children. Well we have to do the exact same thing with our emotional bank account. We have to make sure we're covered. We have to make sure we're strong. See, I think about those boxers, and you know what they have? They have mental toughness. They have mental toughness. They don't go in that ring as soon as they get hit, they think, Oh, that's it, I'm out. I'm done. No. They have prepared their minds.
They have got themselves in a place where they know they are champions. And I believe too often we're allowing ourselves to sink below who we really are, to not meet that standard of a champion. Now listen, God gave his life for us through Jesus Christ. He gave his son. So we have to attach ourselves to that champion mentality. Yeah. The Bible says we are to have the mind of Christ Jesus. So we're supposed to attach our mind to the mind of Christ. What is God saying about you today? You need to take inventory about what are you thinking about yourself. Are you thinking champion thoughts? Are you thinking weak and defeated thoughts? You know, just like when you have your car full of gas, it runs beautifully.
But when you start to get low and it starts to run out of gas, it starts spittering and spattering. And you think, what is going on? You check the gas tank and you think I've run out of gas. Si We too. Have indicators of when our emotional bank accounts are low. And that is we get frustrated. We get upset, everything seems hard.
Why does Osteen compare life to a boxing ring and what can we learn from champions?
Seems like it's never gonna change, it's always impossible. We don't enjoy the gifts that God has given us because we're overwhelmed. That is how you can check your emotional bank account right there. Are you enjoying the life that God gave you? Are you acting like a champion? Are you overcoming the punches of life? Because the truth of the matter is, life is a lot like that boxer in a ring. You're gonna get knocked out every now and then.
