And then check your attitude. I can't get it to go back. There we go. Check your attitude because your attitude determines your altitude. What kind of attitude do you have? Well, I'm here today, but I don't wanna be. Oh, really? Pastor Reese said, no. Those are home in bed. How's your attitude? Your attitude does determine your altitude. In the airplane, you would think that if you pull back, it would take you up, and it will for just a second, but then it will stall unless you add power. So you have to add power.

And so many times we in life, we wanna raise our nose. We wanna go higher, but we don't add power. And consequently, our attitude, our pitch gets out of sorts, and we fall over on our backs and we spin. We stall and we spin out, and death is imminent. You must add power if you wanna go higher. Your attitude, the pitch determines how high you go, determines the altitude. [01:38:51] (35 seconds)  #AddPowerToRise Download clip

So we need a heart checkup, and then we need to check our hands. Look at your hands. What actions are you living out? What are you doing with these hands? Where do you go and what do you do? What are you doing with your hands? What kind of actions are taking place in your life? Psalm 24. Who can go to the hill or to the to the temple on the mountain of the Lord? Who can stand in his holy place? Anyone who has clean hands and a pure heart. Clean hands and a pure heart. Clean hands represent our right relationship horizontally with those around us in our world, our family, our friends, even strangers, coworkers. A pure heart represents the right relationship with God. [01:32:55] (56 seconds)  #CleanHandsPureHeart Download clip

When the holy spirit checked you, you knew I shouldn't be doing this. I need to stop. And at that moment, you need to check yourself. When he checks you, check yourself. Back up. Change direction. The scripture I just said gave gave you said, do something about it. Have regular checkups. When you realize you're going in the wrong direction, when you fail, do something about it. Make a change. Turn around. Stop. Go the other direction. Don't keep going down the same path. [01:21:54] (33 seconds)  #HeedTheHolySpirit Download clip

He that has an ear, let him hear. The Bible says in Mark chapter four in Revelation several times. Several times Jesus said in Luke and Mark, he that has an ear, let him hear. Are you listening to the Lord? Are you listening to what the Holy Spirit is saying? Check your ears. Quit stopping them up. Some people, their ears are plugged. Not because it's loud, but it's because they don't want to hear what somebody that loves them says it's speaking into their life. You should always have people around you that speak into your life that want the best for you, that want your spiritual journey to prosper. They want you to be the best man or woman of God that you can possibly be. Those people should be in your life, and you should listen to them.

Let me translate, please. Be careful who you hang out with. It's been said that you can look at the five people that are closest to you and predict your future, predict your life, how your life is going. Who are you hanging out with? Because the people you hang out with, they are the ones that are speaking into your ear. They are the ones that are speaking into your life.

But never tell lies or try to deceive other people. Look straight in front of you to see clearly where you were going. Quit looking back. You can't drive forward looking back. You can't walk forward very long looking back. And if you're looking to the side, you're going to hurt yourself. Look straight in front of you to see clearly clearly clearly where you're going. And then he said, decide carefully where you are going in life. The problem with many people is they don't know where they're going. [01:28:43] (30 seconds)  #EyesForwardMakeADecision Download clip
