What do you do when you keep showing up, but nothing seems to be changing? Just because progress doesn’t look like you expected doesn’t mean it’s not happening. If you’re frustrated with where you are…

Are you ready for the word of the Lord? [upbeat music] All right, everybody stand on your feet.
Trying to get you to see that some of the dumb stuff that we deal with, it's not the Devil, it's a decision.
And so wouldn't it be great if we saved our strength to fight the Devil when he's really attacking us- Oh, yes ... and don't self-sabotage by having a bad attitude? That was kind of where the message ended up.
But you know, sometimes I just, I don't think that my message was clear because, like, like, literally right after I preached it, my family group chat went off and Graham said, "Did you hear, Dad? We can skip family Christmas pictures on Thursday." [laughs] To which I let him know real quick, "We can't skip the pictures, but we can skip the part where y'all fight about the pictures." [laughs] "Come on and make me wanna cut you out of my will and put you up for adoption." [laughs] So you don't get to choose to skip the adversities in your life, but sometimes you can change the attitude.
Because I find myself wishing that life was like YouTube and you could skip ad, right? Ad stands for adversity, not advertisement and, like, skip ad.
Sometimes I'm even talking to somebody and I'm looking for the fast-forward button.
[laughs] Trying to hold down the side of the screen that'll make it go two times as fast, you know? Or a season of my life.
And this week, a relevant scripture that I touched on last week that I want to explore a little bit more with you is from Joshua chapter 6.
Now, this will make no sense out of context, but we'll put it in context in the next three and a half hours that I preach.
