Have a Different Kind of Spirit by Pastor Joel Osteen

- Too many people go around discouraged.
- We tend to go with the flow, but we are God's children, we are not suppose to go with the majority.
- Anybody can complaint, but God wants us to make a different spirit.
- Look for the good, be thankful.
- Don't be a thermometer that measures the temperature, be a thermostate that controls the temperature.
- When you talk in defeat, you draw in defeat.
- You have the spirit of the living God, reject negativity.
- Be positive, hopeful and stay still.
- Dont let negativity affect you.
- Focus on whats right, not on whats wrong. Dont be influence by others.
- God determines your destiny.
- God has a way of getting people's attention. Be your best each day, dont complaint.
- Overcome evil with good.
- Numbers 14:24 Caleb has a different spirit. He was moving forward in faith, without complaining.
- Understand who you are, and know what you have inside.
- Shake off the negative thoughts.
