TD Jakes - A Mind Thing

So transformation or transforming your life begins with renewing your mind, renewing your mind. Now, I cannot renew my mind so that I can reach the thing that I decided on if I'm going to carry within me a lotta old garbage, see? So, there has to be some cleaning out before there is some going forward. You have to do that, and you need time to do that. That's why we're taking a week to work on this, 'cause you can't run through this, and I'm gonna tell you something. You're not gonna finish this in a week, and you're not gonna finish it in seven weeks, and for some people it may take seven years.

People don't wanna talk about that, Christians especially. We always wanna zap people. "Bishop laid hands on me. When I got up, it was gone". Lemme tell you something. Everything is not gonna be gone. I'm gonna tell you right now, I don't care if I never see you again. Everything ain't gonna be gone like that. Everything isn't magics, not crackle, pop, and it's gone. Not crackle, pop, "I lost a hundred pounds in ten days". "Call today. Pick up the phone and call right now. 9.99 if you call in the next ten minutes". It ain't happening, baby. Put down the telephone. No magic. Transformation is an ongoing process. You've got stuff to fight. You've got things to deal with. You've got conditioning to get outta your head that's messing with your mind.
