| 0:00.0 | Hello my friends and welcome back to the morning mindset. You know I hope it doesn't |
| 0:06.9 | bother you that I call you friends even though we've never met. I believe that the |
| 0:11.4 | spirit of God unites us in a way that makes it really more than friendship. |
| 0:17.0 | It makes it sibling type relationships between you and me, between you and the other listeners. |
| 0:22.1 | We are brothers, we are sisters. We've got to learn |
| 0:25.8 | how to see ourselves that way. Because God has called us into his family. We just |
| 0:30.4 | heard in yesterday's episode that God has adopted all of us into his family and that makes us siblings in the family of God and so my friends, my brothers, my sisters, I welcome you to the morning mindset. |
| 0:45.2 | Let's do the work together today to get our minds aligned with the truth of God. |
| 0:51.2 | Today we are still in Romans chapter 8. We're in verse number 16. |
| 0:56.8 | And Paul gives us a great assurance here in this first verse, verse number 16. |

| 1:28.1 | now. Anytime you read this verse, sometimes maybe randomly throughout your day. The spirit of God is speaking to you, he's bearing witness. Think of a witness in a courtroom. He's on the stand and he's testifying and who is he testifying to? |
| 1:45.0 | Well the verse says he's bearing witness with our spirit so he's speaking to you |
| 1:49.8 | in your spirit and he's saying you are a child of God. |
| 1:57.0 | That my friends is some assurance. |
| 2:00.0 | But I have to admit that sometimes in our lives we don't feel that kind of assurance do we? |
| 2:06.3 | We sit in our quiet moments and we ponder based on our behavior and our performance and we say, God I haven't been doing very well, I haven't been walking the right walk or |
| 2:17.6 | talking the right talk. I've been messing up a lot. Am I really your son, am I really your daughter? Now tell me friends, have you |
| 2:26.7 | been there? I know you have. I've been there myself. Those moments are critical |
