This is how to do it and this is what it will take.
well what is it in a person maybe
somebody is needs to lose quite a bit of
weight and they’ve tried and tried and
tried and tried and tried and tried and
tried and tried it’s just I just can’t
you know I try but I just I can’t I get
so hungry and I can’t I can’t I can’t
and then all of a sudden they make their
mind up and you can tell from talking to
them it’s different this time
they’re convinced they’ve got confidence
I don’t care how long it takes I am
going to get my body in good shape I’ve
got my mind made up I’m sticking with it
and it’s none of this real you know I
think I’ll do okay but you know I man
I’m really afraid to go into that party
on Saturday because as soon as I see
those desserts I know I’m done for Oh
get a grip I mean if you can’t even
overcome a piece of pie how are you
going to take authority over the devil
well you know can I tell you when I see
cookies I gotta eat a dozen no you don’t
you eat a dozen because you’ve told
yourself you have to eat a dozen let me
tell you something if you make your mind
up that you are going to get yourself in
shape and you realize it’s not going to
happen overnight and that’s a large part
of the battle right there everybody
makes their mind up for about two days
and then as soon as anything gets hard
now all of a sudden you I refuse to let
you leave here this weekend is a winner
you are going to leave as a warrior not
a whiner and there’s some things that
some of you need to make your mind up
you need to set your mind and you need
to do it now I am going to get out of
that I am going to get my body in good
shape I am going to get my house in
order I am going to learn the Word of
God I am going to discipline myself to
pray and spend time with God I have set
my mind that everything that Jesus died
for me to have I am going to have if
anybody can have it I can have it but
now listen it’s going to take more than
shouting it’s going to take hard work
it’s going to take some willingness to
let your flesh suffer you won’t die if
you’re hungry awhile you won’t die if
you get sore you won’t die from overwork
if you keep your house clean come on now
Oh Joyce I didn’t come here for you to
yell at them by cleaning my house well
you know
you know what if everything around us is
a mess then that’s a sign that something
else is in a big mess well that went
over really big didn’t it okay pressing
on
nothing is more beneficial than a
made-up mind you make your mind up
tonight that you’re going to do
something with your life you make your
mind up then when you get to be old
you’re not going to look back with
nothing but regrets let me tell you some
I had a lousy start in life but I’m
having a great finish and if God brought
me home right now I’ve had a good ride
