CAROLINE LEAF: God is there with everything for us, but we have
to choose to take that. We have to choose to stick
in the love zone and access wisdom. It's not
gonna jump on you, you have to jump into love.
(Singing) I know my God has made a way for
me. I know my God has made a way for me.
ANNOUNCER: Today, join Kenneth and Gloria Copeland
and Dr. Caroline Leaf as they talk about five
steps to rewire and detox your brain. Get to the
root of why you do what you do, and live in your true
identity. Next, on the Believer's Voice of Victory.
KENNETH: Hello everybody. Welcome to Thursday's edition
of the Believer's Voice of Victory broadcast. Father,
thank You for this good day. Thank You for
Your Word. Thank You for the power of the Holy
Spirit. Glory to God in giving us Your power, Your mind, Your
Word, that empowers us and strengthens us, faith, hope and
love, living and abiding in us and through us, giving us the
mighty victory of God. And we thank You for it in Jesus' name,
amen. CAROLINE LEAF: Amen. KENNETH: Caroline, this is just
wonderful, girl. I'm telling you, I'm so exciting about the
things that we're learning. It's good, isn't it? CAROLINE LEAF:
It is. KENNETH: You know, I ... GLORIA: It's gonna help you a
lot. KENNETH: It's gonna ... I was just thinking that, Gloria.
Yeah, thank You Lord. GLORIA: I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
CAROLINE LEAF: I love it. KENNETH: Well, thank You Lord. A
merry heart does good like a medicine. CAROLINE LEAF: That's
a good one. KENNETH: I was thinking, Gloria, as Caroline's
been teaching and there's ... I think of incidents and things
that's happened to us over the last 52 years that we've been in
this ministry, and how the love of God has been the thing that
was so protective of you and me. 'Cause we coulda ... I mean, we
could have been in a state of strife all the time. There's
somebody saying something ugly about us all the time. And
again, people make sure that you hear it. GLORIA: Hear it.
KENNETH: Make sure you get it. And I remember back the time
when Senator Grassley's office was ... And the six different
churches that- CAROLINE LEAF: Ministries KENNETH: Yeah, and we
were under attack of that. ... Woo, we really had to practice
that during that. CAROLINE LEAF: Yeah. KENNETH: To keep from just
staying in a ... Just wanting to spank somebody. CAROLINE LEAF:
Lay on hands. KENNETH: Yeah. ... Yeah, suddenly. Very suddenly.
But you can't do that. CAROLINE LEAF: No. KENNETH: And so, we
learned how to ... 1 Peter 5:6-9 ... Well, actually, 6-10,
"Casting the whole of your care over on him once and for all,"
and so, just didn't touch it. ... And just staying there, I
learned this: That person will come up in front of you,
immediately. I mean, before that thought has a chance to even
germinate. Just immediately, they say, "Oh, I would do this."
I would say, "Glory to God, I love Senator Grassley." And I
do. And I love that man. And I hold faith up around him in the
name of Jesus. I forgive him because, actually, he was very
little responsible for this thing. It was members of his
staff that actually caused the trouble. But anyway, I didn't
know that at the time. And so, I just hold it there. Just hold it
there, and hold it there, until that thought subsided. To keep
it from ... 'Cause if you ever start that conversation in your
mind ... "If I see him, I'll..." And you start doing that, that
running conversation gets more toxic as you go. It doesn't
improve. It gets worse. Now the tsunami has started, and that
stuff is running through your body, and then comes ... after
that comes the flu and then after that comes ... because
you're breaking down your immune system. and all of that.
CAROLINE LEAF: Absolutely, bad stuff comes too. KENNETH: And
the terrible thing is, most people don't have a clue that
the terrible thing is, most people don't have a clue that
that's behind the problems in their lives. CAROLINE LEAF:
Exactly. KENNETH: But all the time, it just takes a few
seconds, and you just say it out loud, "My, I love that guy. I
pray for him. God, help him." And just don't let the devil
start feeding that stuff to you. And after a while, you get to
where it begins to go away. Now, I wanna settle that to say this.
It was in a moment like that, that suddenly, wow. That's the
answer to that. I saw how to stop it. CAROLINE LEAF: Wow.
KENNETH: And so, I called John in and I told him, I said, now
here, John, here's what we need to do." I said, "You call our
friend over there at a certain local TV Station ... Need to get
him and get over there with his camera, and then you get our
cameras there, and you call over to Dallas, the IRS office over
there, and you tell them you wanna meet the director there on
the front steps, and take all that information that Mr.
Grassley's office was wanting, that there's no way we're gonna
turn it over to them because if you violate the confidentiality
that's afforded you, you've violated your partners, you've
violated- CAROLINE LEAF: Exactly. KENNETH: You know ...
And I couldn't do that. I said, "Sir." And John said, "Mr.
Grassley, here is all of the information that you've asked
for," and handed it to the director. And he said ... And
gave him the address of the Internal Revenue Office in
Dallas. And he said, "Now, here is a letter addressed to you
through the director here of the IRS inviting you in the presence
of the IRS and inviting the IRS to come do a complete church
investigation." Or, in other words, an audit. CAROLINE LEAF:
Yeah. KENNETH: "Anytime, any day, of any week. Thank you very
much." It ended. CAROLINE LEAF: Wow. KENNETH: There was no
answer to that. And the guy over at the IRS told John, he said,
"Y'all forget that. We don't come over there and audit you
guys." He said, "We audit you every year." He said, "We know
you people," then he said, "Who do they think they are, telling
us trying to run our business down here." CAROLINE LEAF: Such
a good answer. KENNETH: So, see what happened? CAROLINE LEAF:
Yeah. KENNETH: Love showed me what to do. CAROLINE LEAF: You
conquered it, yep. KENNETH: I would have never received that,
ever, not in a hundred years, mad at the Senator. CAROLINE
LEAF: Exactly. You got no wisdom. KENNETH: No! CAROLINE
LEAF: No wisdom when you crazy in the sun. KENNETH: That's
really the truth. CAROLINE LEAF: I didn't mean to say the joke.
KENNETH: Well no, but that's the really the truth. CAROLINE LEAF:
You do a little crazy- KENNETH: Cause those are crazy thoughts.
CAROLINE LEAF: Yeah, they are. KENNETH: And they ... If they're
not love thoughts, then they don't produce faith they produce
fear. CAROLINE LEAF: Exactly. And they still producing, that's
the key issue. They still productive. KENNETH: And that's
the devil's territory, and if he keeps you over there in that
thought realm and in that strife realm, he'll whip you 100% of
the time, but if you keep him in the love/faith realm, you can
whip him 100%. CAROLINE LEAF: Exactly. Exactly. GLORIA: You
know a scripture that's always helped me so much ... Cause Ken
and I, we've had ... He's not the first guy that ever said
anything ugly about us, but the scripture says in the amplified,
"Love is not touchy, fretful, or resentful. Pays no attention to
a suffered wrong, does not rejoice in injustice and
unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail."
The most needful of those is love is not touchy, fretful, or
resentful. CAROLINE LEAF: That's so good. GLORIA: Somebody
offends you? Be quick to forgive and you go free. And then what
they do is their problem. CAROLINE LEAF: That's brilliant.
KENNETH: Isn't that good? Yeah, boy. CAROLINE LEAF: No, that's
brilliant. GLORIA: Thank you. CAROLINE LEAF: That summarizes
it all. I mean, that's really the key issue. KENNETH: At the
bottom of that is "Love never fails." CAROLINE LEAF:
Love never fails and love conquers all. GLORIA: That's the
key. That's the end of it. CAROLINE LEAF: I think if we
spend more time as humanity focusing on that scripture, we
would be very different. GLORIA: Oh, wouldn't it be a wonderful
world? CAROLINE LEAF: It would be a wonderful world. It would
be, because we'd learn to love in that zone. KENNETH: And
there's more people doing that now than ever in the history of
the planet. CAROLINE LEAF: Exactly, exactly, exactly.
KENNETH: Thanks to people like you. Praise the Lord. CAROLINE
LEAF: And you. KENNETH: And those of us that have learned
these things, and people are hungry for them. CAROLINE LEAF:
They're hungry. You can never ... Love is a guaranteed message
that everyone will listen to. There isn't anyone from one side
of the planet to the next who won't listen to the concept of
love. And you've spoken about these certain principles that
you've spoken about here, and if I may bring them back to a
scientific level, these are discipline involved in this
process. You know, like you're saying, Gloria, it's to
discipline yourself. Don't get fretful, don't do the ... You
know, really master those things. It's a choice, once
again, but it's a disciplined, intentional and deliberate
self-regulated choice that we need to make every 10 seconds,
which is what we desire to do. So, it's not just now and then,
it's every 10 seconds. Six times a minute, we have the
opportunity to consciously- KENNETH: To practice. CAROLINE
LEAF: Exactly. KENNETH: Practice, practice. CAROLINE
LEAF: Exactly, so it becomes habituated, and that's what, in
my research, what I wanted to try and help my patients do and
myself do, is how do you make that a lifestyle? That it's
constant, all the time? So, I wanted to see what happens when
you mind works through your brain. What is the process that
happens in building memory? And building the memory of this
scripture, for example, as a lifestyle. That, as someone says
those ugly things, that you immediately don't get fretful,
that you immediately, as you said, it goes away, it becomes
their problem, it's not your problem. Don't take that into
you. GLORIA: You go free. CAROLINE LEAF: You go free. So,
that's on the one hand, how do you block the toxic and get
free? And how do you build your brain, like the story of Daniel
... Peter Daniels. KENNETH: Yeah, Peter Daniels. CAROLINE
LEAF: We have to build our brains. So, we see from research
that our brain is designed to be grown every day. If you don't
grow your brain every day, your brain becomes toxic, you develop
toxic waste. So, when you wake up in the morning, you're born
with all these extra brain cells that you're supposed to think
into action during the course of the day by learning. So, as we
go through the day, we're supposed to study. And that's
what I was saying in yesterday's broadcast. And you can choose
the elements of what you want to study. You're always learning.
You're a thinking being, so you're always altering the day,
but you need to have pockets of the day allocated to study. And
obviously, studying the scriptures would be a priority
so that you get those principles in your head and daily. Also,
studying the knowledge of whatever you're interested in. I
always tell people my books are textbooks of how to do this. So,
you study them. And then find something you're interested in.
Maybe you're interested in ... Maybe you're still at school.
Make sure that you study well, that you become excellent at
what you learn, maybe you always had an interest in some topic
and you're not at school, but you want to just grow your
brain. So go and take up some other ... Do a course if it's
for non-exam credits or whatever. Keep studying. That is
one of the best ways of growing the brain, keeping the brain and
the mind mentally healthy, and actually being able to
discipline. It's part of the discipline of the mind and the
brain to actually operate in the love zone. So, we're not told
that enough. We're not told that if you grow your brain, you
discipline your brain, that's the one side. ... But in doing
that, there's a five step process that our mind goes
through in order to wire new information into the brain and
to make it a habit. There's five steps and there's a time period.
So, even though our spirit man opperates beyond space and
time, we have to use time consciously and deliberately,
today, tomorrow, next week, etc, in order to make sure something
goes into the realm of the spirit. Okay? So, to make
something none-time, we have to use time, which doesn't make
sense but it does make sense. It's how it works. So, in other
words, research shows that if we do five steps daily ... for at
least one 45 minute session to build our brain, but I'd
recommend more. I try to do at least 2-3 hours everyday to
build my brain. And if I use, also, the same five steps to
detox my brain, and I'm doing that daily ... But the detoxing
part you only do for about 7-16 minutes, and the reason being is
because you're dealing with toxicity, and toxic feelings.
This is healthy and healthy feelings, so that's good, we can
keep growing. But this, you can only handle about 15 minutes a
day. And it goes to what you were saying, that if you keep
thinking about it, you just get worse and worse, the tsunami.
So, you've got to control the tsunami, because when you bring
this up ... Remember, as soon as you start ... Okay, so, in these
five steps. What do they do? And then I'll bring it back to the
tsunami. Essentially, and I go into depth in this book on these
five steps and how to use them to build your brain and detox
your brain. So, essentially, when you are focusing ... Like
now, you are focusing on what I'm saying. The listeners are
focused on what I'm saying, the audience is focusing on what I'm
saying. You've made a decision to focus. You shut everything
else out and you are making a concerted effort to learn. That,
already, lines your brain and prepares your brain to start
building. So, you start building. You start gathering
awareness of the incoming information. So, step number one
is choose to focus deliberately and intentionally on that and
not let the distractions come in. And you tell yourself when
you focus. So, I'm just giving you the big picture. That's the
first thing, it starts preparing the brain for learning. The
second thing is that you then have to really analyze the
information. And I basically break that into three steps,
which is ask, answer, discuss. Ask, answer, discuss, ask,
answer, discuss. But what we're doing here, the conversation
we're having, is a very good example of that, where we talk
about something, we're asking, we're answering, we're
discussing. And you do that in depth over a paragraph at a
time. So, you read a paragraph, you ask, answer, discuss. You
read a paragraph or you listen, that's ... The first step is get
it in. Reading or listen. Second step is this deep and analytical
thinking, meditating. The third step is write it down. Your
brain writes it, so when you write with your hands, you force
your brain in the direction you want it to go. GLORIA: Oh,
that's a thought. CAROLINE LEAF: Yeah. That's why you're always
writing, which is excellent. So, you're forcing it in the way you
want it to go. You're discipling your brain. Then, you check what
you've written to see, does this make sense? You align it back
with your original source material that you read from. So,
you just do it a paragraph at a time. You don't go and try to do
it with a whole, big test. Just a paragraph at a time. Read it,
think about it, write it down, check it. And then say, "Okay,
what do I learn from this? What is my action from this
particular thing that I've worked on in terms of building
my brain?" And maybe it's something like ... If it's
detoxing ... Something that I was working on for a long time
in my life was I always would say, "If only." "If only I did
it this way." And get myself stuck in such torment because I
didn't ... KENNETH: I've done that. CAROLINE LEAF: Okay. So
you can recognize. KENNETH: I sure can. CAROLINE LEAF: So, by
doing this process as a detox over a period of daily five to
seven minutes a day, I would apply those five steps, and in
that search through, "Why do I say that? Where is it coming
from?" You start getting to the roots of why you do what you do.
You don't stay stuck in the toxic because it's very
constructive, those five steps are very constructive. Becoming
aware, thinking it through. And it's limited, I'm doing this in
seven to 16 minutes, so I'm only allowing one and a half minute
per step. So, one and a half minutes to become aware, or one
minute. One and a half minutes to do the analyzing, one and a
half minutes to write, one and a half minutes to do the checking
and one and a half minutes to work on some sort of little
active reach. Now, you do that today in that time period, and
then tomorrow, you pick it up again and you go a little
further, and you go a little further. And what we find is,
from the research, and this is very ... What I was really most
in for years, was within 21 days, you have literally
destroyed this completely, redesigned it, re-conceptualized
it, into a healthier replacement way of thinking. KENNETH: Praise
God. CAROLINE LEAF: Now, that becomes the new way of thinking.
So, at least link it back to Senator Grassley and what you
went through as the example. Here is the situation that
activated it. So, you didn't consciously go through the
steps, but you did them because it worked. So you were doing
them unconsciously. You were grabbing ... Every time you had
that toxic thought, you were thinking, "This is not good for
me. This is not what the scripture said." KENNETH: Yeah.
CAROLINE LEAF: Whatever. You did a think thing. You maybe didn't
always write it down, but your brain writes things anyway. But
sometimes you may, in your Bible studies, have written down a few
notes to yourself because I know you both write when you do your
studies, and that would have been a topic. So, at some point
you wrote. You then worked out ... You checked what you were
writing. This is gonna destroy me. You worked out a plan of
action. So you do that consciously during the day, in
that seven to 16 minutes, but in the day, when the opportunity
comes up ... Oh, you hear another thing, you hear another
thing. Now he's saying this. Now they're saying that. You have
multiple opportunities during the course of the day to respond
negatively, but you did your work in the morning. So, you
have this active reach step. Number five is this action.
"When I hear another thing about Senator Grassley attacking my
ministry and saying this about me and Gloria, or me and
Kenneth, I am going to ..." because you already worked it
out in the morning. So you don't have to go through the five
steps again, you simply apply. In that instant, I will love. I
will, whatever it is that you did. So, you then train
yourself. By the 21st day, after three weeks, you have, as I
said, destroyed this built up long term memory. As this thing
goes on ... Now, you're still hearing things. Attacks ... It
didn't just finish in a week or three weeks, it carried on for a
few months. So, I'm using this example to help people
understand. What we see from research is it's much easier
next month because I've done the three weeks. I've got a long
term memory. KENNETH: Oh, that's a big thing too. CAROLINE LEAF:
It becomes easier. KENNETH: Yeah. It's becoming easier.
CAROLINE LEAF: It becomes easier only because you've done the
work. The first 21 days are so hard. The first four days are
really hard, and most people give up at day four, but if you
push through and you persevere and you get to day 21, by day 63
... Now, in the second two rounds, when you go from ...
Cause it's cycles of 21 days that you work this, three week
cycles. It's how our brain, our body, and our mind heal, in
cycles of 21. The first 21 is the real hard work. It's the ...
You sit down deliberately, intentionally every day and
detox. Or you sit down deliberately, intentionally
every day and build. And the building is good stuff, so you
spend long on it. The detoxing is, you're getting rid of bad
stuff so you only spend seven to 16 minutes. No limit on
building, limit on toxic, okay? On detoxing. So, now, once
you've passed the hard work time of 21 days, it's now kind of
easy. So, now, you just need a reminder. I put reminders on my
phone. I have an app to help, that I've created, that actually
helps people to do this. And it pops up. It'll pop up everyday
on my phone, on my computer, all my devices, and it says,
"Remember: Don't do an if/only today," or whatever it is that
I'm working on. So, all it is is it's a prompt and I remember not
to do it. So, when I'm in a situation and I feel myself
going back into my if/only, because I've been reminded
multiple times a day, it's easy for me to grab. I'm not gonna do
that, I'm gonna do this, because I'm now practicing using this. I
remember how I was. This is no longer here. I now have
transformed my mind. It's discipline. It's choice. It's
hard work, but by day 63, you now have a habit. And now,
something miraculous has happened. By the 63rd day, you
have pushed that conscious, deliberate, beautiful, new,
healthy thought that you built with your mind and your physical
brain. It's in two places, in your physical brain and in your
mind. You've now pushed that in your spirit. KENNETH: Yeah.
CAROLINE LEAF: So, now, it's gone from- KENNETH: It's
registered in your heart. CAROLINE LEAF: In your spirit.
So, the three levels. You're using your mind to change the
physical- KENNETH: And now, it'll change your life. CAROLINE
LEAF: And now ... Exactly! It goes in the spirit. People don't
get to that point. They give up at day four. They give up at day
seven. They give up at day 21. They just give up. And then they
keep starting again. And then, 20 years later, they come into
you with the same issue, and the same problem. I didn't allow my
patients to do that. We worked on cycles of 63 days, and if
they weren't transforming, whether it was a learning skill,
whatever, we would ... I would say, "Okay, now we need to have
a little conversation here. We have a contract in place. You
need to understand that I can't fix you. You fix you." I give
you the techniques, but you have to take the choice, and that's
exactly what the scriptures say to us too. God is there with
everything for us, but we have to choose to take that. We have
to choose to step in the love zone and access wisdom. It's not
gonna jump on you. You have to jump into love. So, that's the
principle of [inaudible]. I teach that in here. KENNETH:
Praise God. CAROLINE LEAF: I gave a whole preach there,
sorry. KENNETH: Absolutely. CAROLINE LEAF: It's exciting.
And it's doable. KENNETH: Jesus literally had to break the force
And it's doable. KENNETH: Jesus literally had to break the force
of what Adam did. You and I have no concept. We can't understand
it, we don't have any concept of what this environment was like
before Jesus was crucified and went to Hell and broke Satan's
power over this thing. We have no idea what kind of dark
pressure was on this planet for many thousands of years. We
don't have a clue, because we've never experienced that. As bad
as stuff is now, at least people are not eating their children.
They did back then. GLORIA: Oh. KENNETH: And it was ... Whoa, it
was crushing. But thank God! Jesus broke his power and our
freedom is so much more obtainable than it was back
then. CAROLINE LEAF: Exactly. KENNETH: And we have His Word,
we have His Spirit, we have His Name. Glory to God! CAROLINE
LEAF: We have His science. KENNETH: Yes. CAROLINE LEAF: We
have God science, which is the how-to. KENNETH: And the
beautiful part of the science is He explains it. CAROLINE LEAF:
It does. And gives you the hands-on, how to do it, the
discipline. Do this. Because people, that's what people would
ask me. "How do I do that? I believe." Whatever. "How do I do
it?" So, now, it's been such a pleasurable journey for me-
KENNETH: And we're out of time. CAROLINE LEAF: -To see people
change. Sorry. KENNETH: Remember right where you were. CAROLINE
LEAF: I am. Got it. I captured the good thought this time.
KENNETH: Praise God! Amen! Wasn't this
good, praise the Lord. Thank you, Lord Jesus.
Oh, my, my, my, my, my. Praise the Lord.
