Unlocking the Secrets to a Winning Mindset Through Biblical Wisdom - PT 1
Are you ready to unlock the secrets to a winning mindset, one that not only endures but thrives through life's trials? My wife Angela and I are thrilled to guide you through the profound impact that perspective and divine wisdom can have on your life's journey. In today's episode, we delve into the biblical principles that underpin a mindset of victory, exploring how the active application of God's Word can revolutionize not only your personal well-being and mental health but your overall success as well.
Witness the transformation that comes from embracing your identity in Christ and understanding the crucial difference between a victim and a victor's outlook. Our conversation traverses the landscape of our thoughts, showing how they sculpt our reality and influence every aspect of our lives. I challenge you, our beloved listeners, to commit to the biblical truths we share, promising that the power of the Word is magnified when you put it into practice. Let's together affirm that we are "more than conquerors," destined to rise above every obstacle.
In the culminating part of our series, we hone in on the essence of a winning mindset through the servanthood that Christ exemplified. Exploring Philippians 2:5-11, we uncover how humility and obedience aren't just noble traits but critical components for achieving victory. We weave through the narratives of Daniel and Moses, whose servitude led to divine elevation, and leave you with the revelation that truly winning means fulfilling your God-given destiny with grace, even if it entails walking through sacrifice. Embrace the mindset of Christ as the cornerstone of triumph, and let us assist you in reshaping your reality.

Speaker 3:What's up, people? How y'all doing? God bless you. Thank you so much for tuning in to listen to this amazing podcast by none other than Dr Jarrell Stokely and his lovely wife, angela Stokely. So funny, I love it.

Amen.
Speaker 3:So we're glad to be here. We are glad that you are here and we pray that you are blessed and inspired. My God encouraged along this journey.
Speaker 1:Thanks, for joining us. Yes, yes, Thanks again to you. We mean necessarily for my heart's for it. If it were not for you, this podcast would not exist. But we did this for you and for those who want to eat from the word of God, the daily bread for your soul. Jesus told Satan when he was being tempted in the wilderness man shall not eat, live by bread alone, but by every word that preceded out of the mouth of God. That's preaching right there. That's right Proceed.
Speaker 3:Every word that proceeds. So there is a preceding word for your life Hallelujah. You received the word in the last season, but you need to find out what the new word out of God's mouth is Amen For this season, because there's always a word. Amen, as always. It's perceived that God always has a word. See, you know, a lot of times we've fallen into a trap of saying God's not speaking man. Look here, if you listen well enough, the Lord is speaking because there's words proceeding out of his mouth. Come on.
Speaker 3:You've been delving to the word of God and here, what God said then, what he says now, hallelujah, watch this and what he says next Glory. Then, now and next. I'm with you, oh no.
Speaker 1:I'm tracking with you. You are leaving me. I'm tracking with you. That is really good. We hope that you have enjoyed our podcast episode so far.
Speaker 1:And if you didn't listen to navigating uncertainty. You have got to get to navigating in uncertain times and get that podcast. Listen to all three episodes that we've done to really bless your life. Today we are moving into what I think is such a critical topic because it flows right in line with mental health. Today, we are talking about possessing a successful no, possessing a winning mindset. Possessing a winning mindset. I believe this is going to be a three part series, I think because it's so rich and deep and we're going to get ready to dive in. We won't do so without prayer. Amen, we're past the angel of first. But, angel, you remember we got a tagline for Daily Bread, so Daily Bread is about glory, impact, change. Hallelujah, come on, let's have prayer right now.
Speaker 3:Father, god, we bless and thank you for the opportunity to be here one more time. We thank you for every listener. We thank you, lord, god, for every person and this particular broadcast will impact and touch God.
Speaker 3:We thank you in advance for the transition, for the change that's going to happen for the development, for the growth, for the expansion, god, that you have in store for your people, and we give your name the glory as always. We ask, god, that you would anoint us afresh for this particular assignment to say what needs to be said. God, that your people will be blessed indeed in the mighty name of Jesus.
Speaker 3:Now, god, ultimately have your way, leading God as by your spirit, that everything that's supposed to be done, it shall be done. In the mighty name of Jesus. We give you glory, we give you honor, we give you praise. It is in Jesus' name that we pray and say amen, amen, amen, and I hope, those of you out there that are listening, that you say amen as a confession of your agreement with the prayer. Amen, hallelujah.
Speaker 1:Amen. Thank you so much, Angel. Amen. All right, listen, listen. I got so overwhelmed as you were praying, just thinking about this topic, and I want to make sure that we understand that. Whomever listens to this episode, these episodes on this topic, possessing a winning mindset, You're about to win in every area in your life for the rest of your life, the rest of your life that is so real.
Speaker 1:If you get these biblical principles and this foundation and you listen to all the episodes of this teaching on possessing a winning mindset, you will never lose again. You will never lose again and if you are troubled in your mind, you're about to come out of that and you're about to possess this winning mindset, as it is taught, laid out and empowered by the word of God. Everything stems from the way you think. All your actions come out of your thought, life, and we're about to empower you in such a way and I just hit me you will never lose again. So this is important that you be sure to stick with us through these three episodes, make sure you listen, make sure you share. Your children's mindset is about to change. Your mindset is about to change people around you, because this teaching has that much power in it and it's that important that you get it all Now. You know, pastor, here's what I we are as society.
Speaker 1:We are going through grave challenges with mental health, absolutely. We are dealing with so much change and transition. We are dealing with so much attack and assault. We are dealing with so much aggression and division. We are dealing with so much uncertainty. We are dealing with plagues, disease. We're dealing with losing family members and friends. We are dealing with people wearing masks and cloaked to be friends and family when they're not. And it's so much going on.
Speaker 1:And the enemy is attacking our thought, life, amen, and he is creating seeds of confusion that is taking root in our decision making process, that is driving us to be unclear about almost everything and it is driving us into a place of darkness, negativity, hopelessness, and we're not winning in our thinking. We're not winning in our thinking and the Bible. If it wasn't important, the Bible would never address it. This is true Jesus, immediately, even in the Old Testament, god made sure that he trained and taught his people how to have a winning mindset, a divinely rooted mindset in his word and in righteousness, that we would always win, even though we may be facing negativity and challenges and issues, but that winning my mindset will always bring you out. Now I know you're chomping at the bit to say some things. I want you to go ahead and say those things and I'll read our scripture foundation and we can go from there in these 30 minutes.
Speaker 3:Well, you know immediately what came to me. Before we started I had written a comment down that I was going to ask. What was the question that I was going to ask? But of course you know we've prayed and said Lord, have your way, and that's what he does. So he interrupts maybe what you were you thought you were going to start saying with a new thought, because it's something that he wants said you know what I mean.
Speaker 3:And so one of the things that I feel so compelled to say, starting right out of the gate, is that we have got you as the body of believers, as those you know, newly converted Christians, whatever level we're on We've got to, it is imperative that we accept the truth that God loves us and that, and the Holy Spirit said to me it sounds so basic, but it's so deep it has so much depth because, in order for my mind to be in alignment with the Word of God, if I don't believe the word, it really doesn't matter how much scripture I know, have heard or whatever, but it has to stem from my belief that God loves me.
Speaker 3:And I believe that the enemy uses a tactic to attack us in our young age to cause us to stumble through believing the word of God that says that God loves us.
Speaker 3:It is difficult for some people to jump the hurdle and keep that hurdle jumped, that God really does love me. You know what I'm saying, because the way that I am going to believe and even be able to possess a winning mindset, which all stems from the word of God, I've got to believe that he loves me, which goes to relationship, absolutely Relationship. Because if I don't believe that he loves me, then why would I believe what he said? Right.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying, See, it's my knowing that you love me that causes me to trust you when you say I would give you the world. Yeah.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying and it doesn't. And I don't have to go, I don't have to vacillate. You know what I mean. I don't have to go back and forth with that, because you've shown me. Not only did you tell me, but you've shown me, and once you show me, then I can't unknow that Right, you understand what I'm saying. So then I believe you at your word, and I believe that it is so important for us as we're thinking through how do I possess it? It has to stem from my knowing that, in spite of what I've gone through, I got to know God loves me.
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, I would agree with that. You know Well, that goes to the scripture. That talks about faith For sure. The substance of things hoped for the evidence of things.
Speaker 3:Not seen, not seen.
Speaker 1:And it talks about how, in order to come to God, we must first believe that he is, you know, in order to please him, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek after him, absolutely so.
Speaker 1:relationship is key and critical. As you talk about possessing a winning mindset, because you're identifying the principles and concepts and practices of getting to this winning mindset through the word of God. And how can you build through the word of God if you don't have a relationship with God? And if you do have a relationship with God, it is unhealthy because you don't believe that he loves you because of the things you've gone through Because, realistically, if I don't believe he loves me, then I don't think I'll win.
Speaker 3:That's right, because I can watch this, because I can be in a race and come last, and if I know he loves me and this is so basic if I know he loves me, I don't feel like a loser, even though I came last. You know what I'm saying. I can instead find the positives in the experience and understand oh, this trained me for my next race, oh, this prepared me for my next run. And I don't get stuck at. I'm a loser. I don't have the mindset of a loser, because God didn't create me as a loser.
Speaker 3:You know what I mean and all of that stems from understanding beyond a shadow of a doubt that he loves me. So the enemy can throw anything at me, but if my foundation stems from the scripture, that even causes us to be saved. God so loved the world. Understanding. I'm in the number.
Speaker 1:I'm in the number.
Speaker 3:He had me on his mind before I even knew I needed, before I was even created, before I even knew I needed a savior. He created a plan, and it stems out of his love for me, that's a problem. You understand Okay go ahead.
Speaker 1:So I want to get to this founding scripture. So our founding scripture is in Proverbs 23 and 7. And it says for as a man thinketh, we're talking about possessing a winning mindset. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. And it says eat and drink, says he to the, but his heart is not with the. So the a portion of this is talking about how there is a connection between our thoughts and our actions. And when I began to study you know this whole concept of possessing a winning mindset, you know I was. I begin to look at the mental aspects, the clinical aspect, and we'll talk about all that and how. You know. The way you think is tied to your emotions, is tied to your core values, is tied to your decision making. Your thoughts are connected to everything you do, is tied to relationships. So what is going well or not well in your life is all tied to your thinking. What is going so successful is tied to your thinking and what is not going so successful is tied to your thinking.
Speaker 1:Your health is tied to your thinking. Relationships are tied to your thinking. Your business concepts are tied to your thinking, how you treat people, how you see God, and perspective is a big part of all of this so, today we're really going to deal with the biblical foundation and principles for a winning mindset.
Speaker 3:We're going to look at the word of God and lay that foundation.
Speaker 1:But in these next couple of sessions we're really going to dive deep into perspective and the impact that perspective have, Because perspective is everything. You and I can hear the same story or the same fact.
Speaker 3:Or the same sermon the same sermon.
Speaker 1:But perspective determines what we walk away with. You better believe it, and if you don't have a healthy perspective in your thinking, oh my God, as a man thinketh, so is he. If that perspective is corrosive or contaminated or negative or hopeless, it's going to impact what you do. Absolutely Right. Go ahead, pastor, and then we're going to pull up some scripture.
Speaker 3:You know, when you said that, I thought about the difference between a victim mindset and a victor mindset.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:Right, and so, though something can happen to me, I'm nobody's victim. Come on. But that is stemmed out of who I understand that I am in Christ Jesus. Come on, you know what I'm saying. It doesn't come from my takeaway from the world or my takeaway from my upbringing, or my takeaway from anything that anybody told me in the earth. It is my understanding of who God says I am, according to the word of God.
Speaker 3:So, things can happen to me, but I'm not your victim. Glory to God, come on, I am nobody's victim, because the Bible has taught me I am more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus and that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. Glory be to God. So, even when it forms, it doesn't prosper. So I'm not a victim, hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Speaker 3:And I think that is so imperative to me. It just was this immediate comparison, compare and contrast kind of thing, because a lot of times we think that we're victim because we go through something. You've got to make up in your mind. I feel this in the Holy Ghost. You've got to make up in your mind today, today, today I'm nobody's victim, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what has happened, I can't. I'm still here, Glory to God. I'm still here. I may have come out by my chin and chin, but I made it. And so I'm nobody's victim, because God brought me out, because God brought me through and because God says I'm more than a conqueror. He didn't say I was a victim. He didn't say I was a victim. There's nowhere in the Bible where you will see that God said you're a victim, we're not victims. Amen. That is a concept that we've adopted, that came from the world, that didn't come from the word of God.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the word of God says we are more than conquerors More.
Speaker 3:Exactly. Come on somebody.
Speaker 1:Absolutely so. It calls us more than conquerors. You know in Christ Jesus. Absolutely, I mean so. It says that not only do you have the victory, you have more than just the victory.
Speaker 3:That's it. You have victory, because Christ is your victory.
Speaker 1:Yes, you have continual victory, continual. So you know, there's no phrase more than conqueror in the Greek. It is a depiction back when they had the Roman competitions in the arena, and it is the depiction of two people who have gone into battle in competition and one has defeated the other one and he's standing over his opponent with his foot on him, you know, with his hands raised high in victory. So it said, you are more than a conqueror because of how defeated your adversary is. Come on somebody. So we have more than just a victory over just this one battle. Come on, we have a life of victory, so we live a victorious life. Can?
Speaker 3:we say that again In Christ Jesus. It's more than just one thing, it's everything.
Speaker 1:It's a victorious life yes. That we have in Christ Jesus.
Speaker 3:And that's so powerful. That's what you're saying, that's it, okay, yeah, so this is exciting to me. This is exciting to me because now, thank you, holy Ghost, because now I can ask the question, and then we'll go right into that. And this is the opening question that I thought I was going to ask originally, and that is this Are you committed to working the Word?
Speaker 1:Are you committed to working the word?
Speaker 3:Are you committed to working the word? Because the truth is, the word works the word works.
Speaker 3:But it only works when we work it. It only works when we work it. It won't work if we don't work it. What do you mean by working? You gotta take it, you have to apply it, you have to believe it, you have to trust in it and you can't move. If you do move, get back over there real quick and you confess it over and over, and over and over. You don't even have to feel like a conqueror, or more than one. Right.
Speaker 3:But if you confess it enough, you'll begin to believe it Right. Because why Faith comes by what Hearing Right and hearing by the word of God. If we confess the word, it increases our faith to begin to believe the word that we're confessing Right. So the question is are you committed? And if you're not, I want to just encourage you to become committed. I'm going to become committed to working the word. Whatever that word is, I'm going to be committed to working it, because if I become committed to working it, I will take every word that helps me to have that winning mindset.
Speaker 1:Right. And I want to add to that and say confess to belief in the word, Confess to believe that you win, Confess to believe that you've already won. So as you confess to believing that you have already won in every context because Christ has gone before you. Now, even if I'm not reading a scripture or reminded of a scripture, I have a mindset. See, that's two words combined together. First syllable is mine, the second one is set. So I have a two word. How have you been looking? So my mind is set on victory. So now I'm living and walking from a daily standpoint that I win today, even if I haven't gotten in that word yet, Even if I'm processing through something painful. I may be processing through something painful in my thoughts and I may be crying in this moment, but these tears are momentary.
Speaker 1:I'm human so I'm having a momentary emotion called pain and sorrow, but that doesn't mean my mind is not set on winning. See, it's like setting an alarm clock it's going to go off. Now I might have to get to that time when the alarm goes off, so I may be grieving, weeping, may undo it for a night, but joy comes in the morning. So, in just a moment when these tears dry because they're going dry, why? Because my victory mindset alarm won't go off.
Speaker 3:And me, because I know. I've already won that thing in Jesus name, right? If my mindset is that I've already won, then I know that I'm coming out. So I can still praise him with tears running down my face, I can still praise him and give him thanks and all of the things. Why the pain is there? Why the pain is there? Because my mind is set. I love that. That. I still win. I still win In spite of this temporary moment, moment, so okay.
Speaker 1:so let's, we're going to slow down just a little bit to sort of make sure you get a few things that you should get, because our subject is possessing a winning mindset. So how do we do that? How do we tell our audience? You know the process, the approach, you know the ingredients for possessing a winning mindset. I want to first submit to you, ladies and gentlemen, that you look at Jesus as the example.
Speaker 3:I like it.
Speaker 1:That's my first point Look to Jesus as the example of a winning, a winners mindset. And I want to look at this passage of scripture here in Philippians, chapter two. This is verse five through 11, but I don't have to read it all. It's Philippians two, five through 11. I don't have to read it all. And it says this let the same mind, the same mind. So. So our goal is get to this mind of Christ, not not the mind of a philosopher, the mind how my mama do things, how my dad do things, how my friends see things, how my pastor see things. That's not how it's about again, that relationship, loving God and getting to that place where my mind is postured like the mind of Christ.
Speaker 1:So it says let this same mind be in you. It didn't say let it come and go.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Let it be concreted. Let it be drilled, stapled, posted, stamped, glued. Let this same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, right, yeah, philippians, chapter two, five through 11. Let it be in you, not, not, not, not. Let it come and go, not, let it sometime. Let it be in you.
Speaker 1:See, if something is in me, if Christ's mind is in me let's just look at this physically, even though it's talking about spiritual, you'd have to crack my head open and take it out. That's how much is in me, just how much this thing got to be in you that it can't be taken out. Now watch this. It says who thought he was in the form of God Watch this, I'm sorry. Who, though he was in the form of God, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited? Exactly Okay, he walked through life umbled. That's really what that is saying Amen.
Speaker 1:If you're possessing a winning mindset, if you look at Christ's humility, oh, you'll let God crush you. You'll let God take you through some stuff. You'll let God build character in you. You'll go through things and not get mad at God and point your finger at God and walk away from God. How could you end up a person who is angry and bitter and resentful when you, when you, when you have the humility of Christ in your thinking? If God is for me, who can be against me? Don't he slay me yet? Well, I trust you. The first thing we got to do is come down off this high horse. Here somebody Jesus said. Jesus said I am God, but still I umbled myself and I live. I have a mind posture of humility.
Speaker 3:Absolutely.
Speaker 1:This is good it is. I have a mind posture. I'm low, I'm, I can give me all kind of human possessions and worldly possessions, but I'm still going to be low, absolutely. So therefore, I can be rich and be low. I'm impacting below. I can have a high title and position, but be low, be humble in my mind and say God, you gave it to me. You could take it away, whatever you want to do with this, god is on you, but I must stay humble with it so that, no matter whatever state I'm in, I'm going to be content. No matter what come in my life and go in my life, I have a character of humility on me.
Speaker 3:No matter what, no matter what, no matter what God is, we're gonna let you jump in. Oh, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1:Now watch what he says. Now he says did not regard equality with God, accepted to be exploited, but he emptied himself Self out. Yeah, oh, my god. Yeah, when in mind said, yeah, empty yourself out. So Christ can fill you with his presence and with the Holy Spirit. Get rid of you. Hmm. You want to talk about having a win in mind, so get rid of you and you'll get on God's agenda. You won't be so mad about things that didn't go your way, because that's what it wasn't supposed to go your way.
Speaker 1:Okay, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta get. Remember we just landed biblical foundation. Right now he emptied himself out. Yeah, are you empty of your ideas and philosophies and your plan and come on.
Speaker 3:We talk about a winning mindset. I mean, seriously, I'm thinking. I'm over here thinking about you know we, we have to become, you know, a clean slate, like a, like a whiteboard. This erase everything, just erase everything. We thought we knew everything. Come on, everything we thought we were, every ways that, every everything, and allow God To teach, train, develop us. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:And for some of us, what we're talking about is so hard it is for some people out there listening to me. This is so hard for you because you think we're talking about God saying for you to not to use your mind and not to be intelligent and to be an idiot and just go for anything and believe everything you read here. No, that is exactly not what we're saying. We're talking about trading the wisdom of man for the wisdom of God.
Speaker 1:We're talking about training intellect for faith. Keep your righteous mind because God gave it to you, but apply faith to what you think. Absolutely come on somebody.
Speaker 3:So caught up in your way. You know what I mean, right, the way you think, the way you think, and a lot of times it's not even based on any biblical principle. Right it's just what you I posted something yesterday about. Just because you feel passionate about it doesn't mean it's right right. You know, and so that's what I'm. That's what I'm talking about, like we can't get stuck on just what I feel, like this right, okay, based on what?
Speaker 1:right. See, what people don't understand is some of human knowing and some of divine knowing is the same, mm-hmm, what you see, if it's red is red. God believe is red too. Yeah, but what God wants to do is show you how he can make that. Come in here. Somebody is red now. Human knowledge says is red yeah. Divine knowledge says is read now right. Come on somebody. It's good cuz God make that thing blue. Right in front of you. Right in front of you, didn't he not turn?
Speaker 3:the water Into wine.
Speaker 1:He said Jesus is water now. Yeah, but when you get up and start taking it over here to this table, that water gonna turn in the wine. So you and God on the same pay. He's not trying to take your knowledge, he's trying to elevate your knowledge. He's trying to faith your knowledge. That's why I love of elevation, so you can see what to do with a thing that he would do with it Come on somebody.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's good, that's good.
Speaker 1:Whoo Okay. So I got to get back into this because we lay in the foundation, we give you the biblical foundation for possessing a winning mindset. Watch this, he says taking a form of a slave. Now, that is that a Okay. So let's put this into a context of a narrative Going and finding a slave, the poorest, feeblest, most insecure slave that there is in all of his land and trading places with him. Yeah.
Speaker 1:So that's what that's. That's what Jesus did. He was God in the heavens, became Jesus in the flesh through Mary, put on flesh clothes so that he could become dirty and sinful, like a human being, that he could save us, hallelujah, that he could take the sins of the world upon himself. So he became the form of a slave. What do you mean? A slave to sin, of slave to the flesh? He became that. Look at this level of mindset that God is telling us. He that's saying be a servant.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You don't have a winning mindset. See, this is deep in heaven. So somebody thought we was gonna come with these seven practical principles and stuff you didn't heard before now we taking you through the word of God first. So you guys said because, take off your lordship and put on your servant ship. Absolutely, see, you came. You'll never lose as a servant because you came to serve. Come in here, somebody you came to serve. Yeah, I gotta stop that.
Speaker 1:He said watch, being born in human likeness. This is how he became this form of slave, because he was born in human likeness. Watch this. And being in human form, he unborn himself and Became obedient to the point of death, my lord. Because, see, you know, taking on a sacrificial life to your death to a lot of people don't look like a winning mindset. Exactly, that's true, it looks like. Why would God even want me to live that kind of life? That's your destiny, mm-hmm. See, winning is walking in your destiny, winning is walking in your purpose, and you need a certain kind of mindset to walk through some of the fires of destiny and purpose.
Speaker 1:Yeah you need a certain type of mindset to walk through lions dens. You need it because that's your destiny, daniel. Yeah, you need a certain mindset to be thrown over in fires and come out Unscraped Shatrak, meshach and Abednego. You need a certain mindset to be going to tell powerful people they need to change the narrative in which how they lead. Like Moses had to go to Pharaoh, what do you mean? Mm-hmm.
Speaker 3:That's so real.
Speaker 1:Am I taking too long?
Speaker 3:to help that girl. That's good, because I don't want to take this time.
Speaker 1:I'm just trying to oh, my God, we got to get out here Listen, okay, so this is going to be our foundation of Scripture and we're going to go, we're going to leave you with this, okay, and we're going to go listen.
Speaker 3:So he says therefore Can you say again where you are?
Speaker 1:I am in Philippians, chapter 2, verse 5 through 11. Okay, and I just talked about Jesus being obedient to the cross. And he says, therefore, god also highly exalted him. There's the wind. There's the wind in mindset, there's the wind. He highly exalted him and gave him the name. So you got to understand even as a servant, you don't earn it. He gave it to him. That is real. That is real. Even if you serve perfectly well, god still don't owe you nothing. That's right.

We're going to pick this right back up, but remember, we talked about loving Christ, being in a relationship. We talked about the reality of believing that God loves you. Yes, right. Yes, right.
