foreign it is not the movement of the clock
that produces the newness of life it is the movement in your mind
you're gonna hear all kinds of things said about you
throw it behind you
the enemies that you see today you will see them no more
no weapon formed against you shall be able to prosper every tongue that
rather against you God will condemn this is my
truth of the mighty is everybody in here is going through a change
you don't have to be ashamed of yours we are all in the process
to a higher better expression of myself let this be the year that I've Earth a
higher better expression of myself don't let the habits of my past not me from this metamorphosis
New Year knew me
what separates us is transformation
the possibility of change
the desire to evolve the passion to get up off the ground and stop eating dirt
I'm tired of doing what I used to do if I always do what I've always done I'll always
be where I've always been I'm going through it behind me somebody in this room that that
nobody would think would be in a church tonight but you drew them to this place
tonight because you want them to be a new me in a New Year and have a new attitude and a new mind
because the real Battleground is in your mind that's where the fight is you lay down with it you
get up with it you go to work with it you can't digest your food because of it smiling in front
of people and nobody knows that there's gunfire going off in your head it's not a geographical
location it's not dead it's not money it's not haters it's not enemies it's not Liars it's
not backbiters that's not the Battleground stop wasting your weapons on what people say because it
is not what they say about you that matters it is what you say about you that threatens your destiny
you will never be defeated by what they say about you you will be defeated by what you say about you
I dedicate this to you to the greatness in you and to the dream that you showed up on the planet to
produce and it's simply this if you want to think bad enough to go out and fight for it
to work day and night for it to give up your time your peace and your sleep for it
if all that you dream and scheme is about it and life seems useless and worthless without
it and if you gladly sweat for it in fret for it and plan for it and lose all your Terror of
the opposition for it and if you simply go after that thing that you want with all of your capacity
strength and sagacity faith hope and confidence and Stern pertinacity if neither cold poverty
famish or gold sickness or pain or body and brain can keep you away from the thing that you want
if doggetting Grim you besiege and beset it with the help of God you'll give have greatness in you
what I'm trying to tell you beloved is that you can have a new year
but it don't mean Jack didley if you don't have a new mind
I'm telling you that you can buy a new car but if you put the old man in a new car you
still want to have the old experience I'm telling you that a new house doesn't make a new marriage
talking about a new outfit doesn't make you a new person and if you think you are magically
gonna be a new person I hate to be the bearer of bad news because New Life comes from a new
mind and a new way of looking at your life I cannot step into the future and still think in
my past I cannot let the rumors and the stain of what they said about me destroy my opportunity
slap somebody and tell them I gotta kill it tonight I'm gonna destroy it tonight I gotta get
with tonight behind me tonight I can't drag that same old mess into another year
are you committed because without commitment nothing happens
if you don't learn to give like you learn to
get every area that there is not reciprocity it will die
reciprocity what do you give back for what you get
if you're not committed you're not going to make it even the ones with the personalities
you don't like you have to be committed through the storm and the rain and the
heartache and the pain and the disappointment you have to believe in the we and the us and
not the me and the you or you're not gonna make it it's a commitment it's not a Feeling
until you have had the taste of finishing
you will not respect
until you follow through until something is done come hell or high water
tears and struggles and pain and you go through it
anyway and you show up and you continue to fight on no matter the circumstances
after a while something begins to wither inside of you
anytime you need something that you can't give to yourself you're at the mercy of somebody
else and when they don't come through you got pain and what you become is the consequences
of what you didn't get foreign
it's an urge truth be told every Champion has felt it
every president has felt it every King has felt that every lion has felt that every winner
has felt it every Soldier has felt it every Victorious person has felt it the urge quit
don't you give up on your dream
I don't care if you don't have the money you don't have the help and you don't have the family for it
and you don't have the background for it and you don't have the friends for it don't you give up
on your dream coach you do it don't you do it don't you do it it may take you twice as long
you may have to take courses and classes you might not read as fast
you might not move as quick you might not have as much but don't you quit
don't you quit you do make a difference you do make a difference you do make a difference as
weak as you are as tired as you are as many mistakes as you may you do make a difference
there is something they would lose if you were not there there was something that they would miss if
you were not there you do make a difference we all have things that we're believing for dreams that
we want to accomplish problems we're hoping will turn around maybe it's to see our family restored
and lose some weight to break an addiction to start our own business
but sometimes as it goes on month after month even year after year and we don't see anything changing
it's easy to get discouraged and think it's never going to happen this is as good as it gets I'll
just learn to live with it we all go through disappointments setbacks loss pain is a part of
life it's easy to get discouraged even bitter I think why is this happening to me sometimes
we look at pieces in our lives that don't make sense the key is what we do in our times of pain
will change us heartache loss disappointments they don't leave us the same every painful time
even though you don't like it it's developing something in you that can only be developed
in the tough times eventually that will pass you'll get through it but you will be different
in those tough times when you're uncomfortable going through a loss dealing with an illness you
could easily let it overwhelm you now how the pain changes you is up to you you can come out
bitter or you can come out better you can come out defeated giving up on your dreams or you can
come out with a new passion a new fire excited about the new opportunities in front of you
I may not like it but I'm not a whiner I'm a warrior I know I can handle this
don't complain about the pain without the pain we couldn't reach the fullness of our destinies
sometimes we bring pain on ourselves we make poor choices get in a relationship
we know is not good or maybe get over our head and
our spending now it's painful we're having to deal with the consequences
all of us experience pain my challenge don't just go through it grow through it that difficulty
is an opportunity to get stronger to develop character to gain new confidence anybody can
give up anybody can let it overwhelm you but you know what that's doing wasting your pain
that pain is not there to stop you it's there to prepare you to increase you to develop you
difficulties are a part of life now quit telling yourself you can't take it you're
not weak you are well able eventually the pain will pass you'll give birth to new Strength
just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean that it's not going to happen
there will always be forces trying to convince us to settle Where We Are
life has a way of pushing our dreams down they can become buried under discouragement buried
under past mistakes there are dreams buried under divorce buried under low self-esteem
it's easy to settle for mediocrity even though we have all this potential buried on the inside
what are you remembering the hurt the pain what didn't work out
turn it around and remember your dream have you allowed any dreams to get buried in you at one
time you believed you could do something great you believed you could lead the company in sales
you believed you could break that addiction it's been a long time had some bad breaks
it wasn't all your fault you could easily settle where you are nobody would fault you
the enemy would love to deceive you into burying your dream thinking that it's never going to
work out don't believe those lives it's not too late to become all that you were created to be
every time you remember your dream
true Mark of a champion is even though some dirt gets thrown on your dream
instead of letting it get buried you keep shaking it off you keep moving forward
you wouldn't be having that opposition if you didn't have something great in you if your dream
wasn't alive and on track right on schedule to come to pass you wouldn't have so many
things coming against you that dream is still alive you may have tried a year ago five years
ago or 40 years ago didn't work out nobody was there to help you go back and try again
this is your time this is your moment your destiny is calling out to you can I tell
you your dream is not dead it's just not in season your time is coming promotion is coming
good breaks are coming promises you've been standing on dreams you've been praying about
lack is not your destiny constantly struggling barely getting by is not the end of your story
light afflictions are for a moment the adversity is temporary the glory is eternal
there are some dreams shut up in you like fire you're going to feel your destiny calling out
may not have happened the first time the loan didn't go through you didn't
get chosen for the part the medical report wasn't good that's okay it's still in you
this is your time this is your moment shake off the doubt shake off the negativity you're at
the right place you're at the right time now all you've got to do is get in the right frame of mind
Lord I believe this is my year to get healthy and whole this is my year to meet the people
of my dreams this is my year to go further in my career to step into a new level of my destiny this
is my year to accomplish dreams to break free from this depression this is my year to meet the right
people this is my year to get healthy and home this is your year to see double this is your year
for Vindication for restoration for New Beginnings now get your mind going in the right direction
