so many people we live in a generation today where we are not able to fully pay attention
without distraction like for example if you monitor yourself within about 15 minutes or
five minutes your phone gets your your hands start searching for something else to do on the phone
seven minutes into a date night and you need to check your phone of course maybe somebody
died maybe something really big happened who liked my picture who followed me there's a constant at
addiction even to the things where we cannot focus to one thing at a time and i believe that god
wants to bring freedom to people's lives from this area and god also wants to show something today if
you are under attack there is a very high chance you paid for that attack with your attention
this week you know if you're married and you're a husband most likely ups guys
you know come deliver packages to your house that your wife ordered
it'll be foolish to get up there with the baseball bat and begin to threaten the ups
guy for bringing packages and say why are you bringing packages to my house and he will look
innocently and say well it's not my fault i'm only delivering what your wife paid for
i wonder how many things devil delivers to us that we paid for with our attention
i wonder how many emotional problems devil delivers to us and we cast out the devil but in
reality we made the transaction and paid with it with our attention for example you give too much
attention to news you give too much attention to the social media you will have anxiety
you will actually live in your house closed in and feel like the only time
you should get out is when the world finds a vaccine for death
so many people today are trapped and this is not to bring shame on anybody who is not feeling
comfortable staying in what my goal today is this is that if you're battling with fear battling with
anxiety stop watching conspiracy theories take a break from news media take a break from social
media feed take a break from your favorite place that feeds you not with the truth and life but
feeds you with things that create negativity you can't live a positive life with a negative mind
and a lot of times what happens is that we pay for our own depression with our attention
whatever we give our attention to becomes something that fills our life the devil
delivers packages but he doesn't deliver them just to any address he delivers them to addresses that
paid for those packages with their attention and therefore today's message is going to be called
pay with attention because your attention is the currency for which you pay for
your attention is the currency for which you pay for you know i used to subscribe to the local news
and to to other news and it became frustrating because every single post had to do with how
many people died out of covet i didn't see one where they shared how many people recovered
a doctor john annoyed this and i apologize if i mispronounced his name which i probably did
professor of medicine of health and research policy of biomedical data science at stanford
university school of medicine big shot in other words he said this if you are between ages 20 and
40 your risk of dying from covet 19 is the same as your chance of dying from playing football
if you are between ages 15 and 24 you are more likely to be fatally inflict afflicted by falling
down the stairs then by covet 19 from 15 to 24. kids under 15 have more chances of getting hit
by lightning than dying from covet 19. healthy women under 40 your odds of dying from kobet 19
are about the same as dying from a plane crash if you are under the age of 65 your chance of
dying of kobe 19 is the same risk you face from dying from dying while driving your car to work
and what happened is this because the mass media because of all that information
people are living under attack that's self-imposed we paid for it with our own attention
