“Real Stats” (No Bull)

"On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village, ten men with skin diseases approached him. Keeping their distance from him, they raised their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, show us mercy!” When Jesus saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” As they left, they were cleansed. One of them, when he saw that he had been healed, returned and praised God with a loud voice. He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. He was a Samaritan. Jesus replied, “Weren’t ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? No one returned to praise God except this foreigner?” Then Jesus said to him, “Get up and go. Your faith has healed you.” Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭11‬-‭19‬ ‭CEB‬‬

Choose Gratitude (It’ll change your life)-

Stop “Shoulding” On Yourself/Your Situation.

“Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight! Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty!” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭32:1-2‬ ‭NLT‬‬ (Life’s aren’t found is should’ves/what if’s…Coach Archie White quote 

Speak Life Over Yourself/Situation.

“People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and fish, but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison. Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God. And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right! Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water? Does a fig tree produce olives, or a grapevine produce figs? No, and you can’t draw fresh water from a salty spring.” ‭‭James‬ ‭3:7-12‬ ‭NLT‬‬ (

Trust God. 

“Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34:10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Seek Perspective From God. 

“If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1:5-8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Spend Time With God. 

“But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭5:16‬ ‭NLT

Think On Good Things. 

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Choose Joy! 

Joy Is Indestructible. 

“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.”‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:3-5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Joy Is An Opportunity. 

“Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. James 1:2-4 NLT 

Joy Is Strength.
