Failure every time they gave me a little blue card to go out.
00:02:59.008 --> 00:03:00.810
A little blue card to go out. i can preach a message all day
00:03:00.810 --> 00:03:03.579
I can preach a message all day long but when you ask me to go
00:03:03.579 --> 00:03:05.615
Long but when you ask me to go up and make announcements, i was
00:03:05.615 --> 00:03:07.617
Up and make announcements, i was always failing and chris would
00:03:07.617 --> 00:03:09.385
Always failing and chris would come along and she would add
00:03:09.385 --> 00:03:12.488
Come along and she would add humor to my failure and joy out
00:03:12.488 --> 00:03:14.023
Humor to my failure and joy out of that.
00:03:14.023 --> 00:03:14.890

You. lysa, uninvited.
00:03:51.694 --> 00:03:55.031
Lysa, uninvited. i think rejection, i don't know
00:03:55.031 --> 00:03:56.365
I think rejection, i don't know that there's a person watching
00:03:56.365 --> 00:03:59.135
That there's a person watching that is listening to us right
00:03:59.135 --> 00:04:01.237
That is listening to us right now that hasn't been rejected in
00:04:01.237 --> 00:04:02.371
Now that hasn't been rejected in some way and this book deals
00:04:02.371 --> 00:04:04.206
Some way and this book deals with that.
00:04:04.206 --> 00:04:06.275
With that. start where you will.
00:04:06.275 --> 00:04:09.211
Start where you will. - i think rejection is such a
00:04:09.211 --> 00:04:10.780
- i think rejection is such a tough issue to tackle, because
00:04:10.780 --> 00:04:12.515
Tough issue to tackle, because we're all dealing with it in
00:04:12.515 --> 00:04:15.217
We're all dealing with it in some sass spebgt of our life.
00:04:15.217 --> 00:04:17.753
Some sass spebgt of our life. we're either healing from a past
00:04:17.753 --> 00:04:19.188
We're either healing from a past rejection which can be
00:04:19.188 --> 00:04:20.690
Rejection which can be incredibly painful.
00:04:20.690 --> 00:04:24.460
Incredibly painful. we're dealing with some kind of
00:04:24.460 --> 00:04:27.496
We're dealing with some kind of present-day rejection, in front
00:04:27.496 --> 00:04:31.500
Present-day rejection, in front of us affecting us right now.
00:04:31.500 --> 00:04:34.070
Of us affecting us right now. or expecting a rejection around
00:04:34.070 --> 00:04:36.005
Or expecting a rejection around the corner and we're navigating
00:04:36.005 --> 00:04:37.373
The corner and we're navigating relationships all the time to
00:04:37.373 --> 00:04:38.908
Relationships all the time to avoid rejection.
00:04:38.908 --> 00:04:40.876
Avoid rejection. we feel ill equipped for
00:04:40.876 --> 00:04:42.445
We feel ill equipped for rejection because it taps into
00:04:42.445 --> 00:04:43.713
Rejection because it taps into one of the core, security
00:04:43.713 --> 00:04:44.513
One of the core, security foundational things.
00:04:44.513 --> 00:04:46.849
Foundational things. we don't want to be abandoned.
00:04:46.849 --> 00:04:50.386
We don't want to be abandoned. and rejection , i think it's
00:04:50.386 --> 00:04:51.987
And rejection , i think it's even more painful than losing a
00:04:51.987 --> 00:04:53.856
Even more painful than losing a loved one to death.
00:04:53.856 --> 00:04:56.258
Loved one to death. at least when someone passes
00:04:56.258 --> 00:04:59.929
At least when someone passes away, you're both clinging on to
00:04:59.929 --> 00:05:03.366
Away, you're both clinging on to the hope of tomorrow and being
00:05:03.366 --> 00:05:06.302
The hope of tomorrow and being reunited in eternity.
00:05:06.302 --> 00:05:08.104
Reunited in eternity. but when someone rejects you,
00:05:08.104 --> 00:05:09.472
But when someone rejects you, they purposefully have walked
00:05:09.472 --> 00:05:11.774
They purposefully have walked out of your life and they may
00:05:11.774 --> 00:05:14.443
Out of your life and they may even be happy to do so.
00:05:14.443 --> 00:05:16.045
Even be happy to do so. very difficult issue.
00:05:16.045 --> 00:05:17.580
Very difficult issue. one i wanted to tackle.
00:05:17.580 --> 00:05:20.549
One i wanted to tackle. i think god has set up our soul
00:05:20.549 --> 00:05:22.651
I think god has set up our soul to be accepted by him.
00:05:22.651 --> 00:05:25.221
To be accepted by him. and if we can really, really
00:05:25.221 --> 00:05:27.523
And if we can really, really understand how god has already
00:05:27.523 --> 00:05:28.724
Understand how god has already accepted us, already loves us,
00:05:28.724 --> 00:05:30.860
Accepted us, already loves us, then i think we can weather the
00:05:30.860 --> 00:05:32.561
Then i think we can weather the rejection of life in a much more
00:05:32.561 --> 00:05:33.729
Rejection of life in a much more healthy way.
00:05:33.729 --> 00:05:35.264
Healthy way. - i love how you're saying it.
00:05:35.264 --> 00:05:36.198
- i love how you're saying it. i remember when i read this
00:05:36.198 --> 00:05:37.800
I remember when i read this book.
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.971
Book. i was abandoned at birth by my
00:05:41.971 --> 00:05:42.772
I was abandoned at birth by my biological mother and adopted
00:05:42.772 --> 00:05:44.673
Biological mother and adopted out.
00:05:44.673 --> 00:05:46.409
Out. rejection over my life.
00:05:46.409 --> 00:05:47.576
Rejection over my life. i've seen it continue to come
00:05:47.576 --> 00:05:49.145
I've seen it continue to come into my life.
00:05:49.145 --> 00:05:50.346
Into my life. just when you think, people
00:05:50.346 --> 00:05:53.816
Just when you think, people watching this right now and you
00:05:53.816 --> 00:05:57.119
Watching this right now and you say, i never feel rejection.
00:05:57.119 --> 00:05:59.488
Say, i never feel rejection. oftentimes we don't realize we
00:05:59.488 --> 00:06:00.289
Oftentimes we don't realize we build some walls to protect
00:06:00.289 --> 00:06:01.590
Build some walls to protect ourself.
00:06:01.590 --> 00:06:03.058
Ourself. we build them so we don't get
00:06:03.058 --> 00:06:03.492
We build them so we don't get hurt.
00:06:03.492 --> 00:06:06.262
Hurt. it's proven.
00:06:06.262 --> 00:06:07.563
It's proven. i found, so transparent and
00:06:07.563 --> 00:06:09.165
I found, so transparent and vulnerable in this book.
00:06:09.165 --> 00:06:11.600
Vulnerable in this book. what are some ways that people
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:17.306
What are some ways that people can let those walls come down
00:06:17.306 --> 00:06:17.973
Can let those walls come down where they don't protect
00:06:17.973 --> 00:06:20.509
Where they don't protect themselves?
00:06:20.509 --> 00:06:21.710
Themselves? - remember rejection oftentimes
00:06:21.710 --> 00:06:24.713
- remember rejection oftentimes feels the best of who we are by
00:06:24.713 --> 00:06:26.715
Feels the best of who we are by reinforcing the worst.
00:06:26.715 --> 00:06:28.350
Reinforcing the worst. so i really spent some time
00:06:28.350 --> 00:06:29.418
So i really spent some time helping us go back.
00:06:29.418 --> 00:06:31.053
Helping us go back. not that i want us to focus on
00:06:31.053 --> 00:06:32.555
Not that i want us to focus on the past.
00:06:32.555 --> 00:06:34.690
The past. like you were saying, there's
00:06:34.690 --> 00:06:36.192
Like you were saying, there's roots of rejection there that
00:06:36.192 --> 00:06:37.626
Roots of rejection there that often what will happen, i don't
00:06:37.626 --> 00:06:39.962
Often what will happen, i don't know if you ever had this
00:06:39.962 --> 00:06:43.098
Know if you ever had this situation but maybe rather get
00:06:43.098 --> 00:06:44.266
Situation but maybe rather get into everyday small conflicts
00:06:44.266 --> 00:06:45.835
Into everyday small conflicts with your spouse, but then all
00:06:45.835 --> 00:06:48.504
With your spouse, but then all of a sudden you go from it being
00:06:48.504 --> 00:06:50.473
Of a sudden you go from it being just a small issue to it being
00:06:50.473 --> 00:06:52.842
Just a small issue to it being an em i can statement that we
00:06:52.842 --> 00:06:57.480
An em i can statement that we have serious marriage problems.
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.249
Have serious marriage problems. and you, never happens, like you
00:07:00.249 --> 00:07:03.319
And you, never happens, like you have wounded me to my core.
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.589
Have wounded me to my core. i just asked you why we didn't
00:07:06.589 --> 00:07:09.158
I just asked you why we didn't have clean towels.
00:07:09.158 --> 00:07:11.327
Have clean towels. what happened in this instant,
00:07:11.327 --> 00:07:15.431
What happened in this instant, we traveled back to the past and
00:07:15.431 --> 00:07:18.300
We traveled back to the past and said something that made us feel
00:07:18.300 --> 00:07:19.535
Said something that made us feel incapable, not good enough and
00:07:19.535 --> 00:07:21.670
Incapable, not good enough and pulled the hurt from the past
00:07:21.670 --> 00:07:23.038
Pulled the hurt from the past issue into the present
00:07:23.038 --> 00:07:24.240
Issue into the present circumstance and multiplied the
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.511
Circumstance and multiplied the hurt together to have an out of
00:07:28.511 --> 00:07:31.714
Hurt together to have an out of portion reaction.
00:07:31.714 --> 00:07:32.715
Portion reaction. rejection reinforces the worst
00:07:32.715 --> 00:07:34.283
Rejection reinforces the worst that's been said to me.
00:07:34.283 --> 00:07:36.118
That's been said to me. so it's not just an issue of our
00:07:36.118 --> 00:07:37.586
So it's not just an issue of our past.
00:07:37.586 --> 00:07:38.254
Past. it's affecting us in our
00:07:38.254 --> 00:07:39.321
It's affecting us in our present.
00:07:39.321 --> 00:07:41.690
Present. but so many times we don't even
00:07:41.690 --> 00:07:42.825
But so many times we don't even know why we're having present
00:07:42.825 --> 00:07:44.927
Know why we're having present day issues.

00:08:10.219 --> 00:08:11.520
Playground that takes you back to you're fat, you're ugly,
00:08:11.520 --> 00:08:12.888

How, where do you go when you feel rejected?
00:08:28.270 --> 00:08:30.839
Feel rejected? what was your place?
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:32.808
What was your place? - there's several places.
00:08:32.808 --> 00:08:34.109
- there's several places. one my story is different than
00:08:34.109 --> 00:08:36.478
One my story is different than yours, chris.
00:08:36.478 --> 00:08:41.383
Yours, chris. i wasn't abandoned at birth but
00:08:41.383 --> 00:08:43.852
I wasn't abandoned at birth but i was abandoned by my biological
00:08:43.852 --> 00:08:45.454
I was abandoned by my biological father who packed up his
00:08:45.454 --> 00:08:47.222
Father who packed up his suitcase and i stood at the
00:08:47.222 --> 00:08:48.791
Suitcase and i stood at the front window and when he walked
00:08:48.791 --> 00:08:50.893
Front window and when he walked out he didn't just carry his
00:08:50.893 --> 00:08:51.694
Out he didn't just carry his business clothes and books and
00:08:51.694 --> 00:08:54.196
Business clothes and books and suitcase.
00:08:54.196 --> 00:08:55.764
Suitcase. he carried the shattered pieces
00:08:55.764 --> 00:08:56.665
He carried the shattered pieces of a little girl's heart that
00:08:56.665 --> 00:08:58.667
Of a little girl's heart that didn't understand.
00:08:58.667 --> 00:09:00.002
Didn't understand. when my dad left he never came
00:09:00.002 --> 00:09:02.938
When my dad left he never came home.
00:09:02.938 --> 00:09:04.740
Home. being utterly abandoned by my
00:09:04.740 --> 00:09:06.842
Being utterly abandoned by my father, it made me feel like i
00:09:06.842 --> 00:09:08.377
Father, it made me feel like i was a throw away person.
00:09:08.377 --> 00:09:10.546
Was a throw away person. - when you say he never came
00:09:10.546 --> 00:09:11.580
- when you say he never came back, you never seen him since?
00:09:11.580 --> 00:09:12.448
Back, you never seen him since? - no.
00:09:12.448 --> 00:09:14.183
- no. not really.
00:09:14.183 --> 00:09:15.250
Not really. he never tried to reestablish a
00:09:15.250 --> 00:09:16.552
He never tried to reestablish a relationship.
00:09:16.552 --> 00:09:18.120
Relationship. i tried several times to
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:18.887
I tried several times to reestablish a relationship with
00:09:18.887 --> 00:09:20.623
Reestablish a relationship with him.
00:09:20.623 --> 00:09:21.957
Him. but you know, when you've
00:09:21.957 --> 00:09:23.359
But you know, when you've experienced so much hurt.
00:09:23.359 --> 00:09:25.794
Experienced so much hurt. and i think my dad must have had
00:09:25.794 --> 00:09:29.231
And i think my dad must have had a lot of unresolved hurt in his
00:09:29.231 --> 00:09:31.066
A lot of unresolved hurt in his heart, and in not feeling loved
00:09:31.066 --> 00:09:32.534
Heart, and in not feeling loved himself, it's really hard i
00:09:32.534 --> 00:09:34.436
Himself, it's really hard i think sometimes for people to
00:09:34.436 --> 00:09:36.739
Think sometimes for people to give the love they never got.
00:09:36.739 --> 00:09:38.607
Give the love they never got. so that was a big huge issue in
00:09:38.607 --> 00:09:40.643
So that was a big huge issue in my life.
00:09:40.643 --> 00:09:41.644
My life. but another really hurtful
00:09:41.644 --> 00:09:43.379
But another really hurtful experience, i talk about this in
00:09:43.379 --> 00:09:45.014
Experience, i talk about this in the book, i dated a guy in
00:09:45.014 --> 00:09:46.281
The book, i dated a guy in college.
00:09:46.281 --> 00:09:48.784
College. i hope he's watching tonight.
00:09:48.784 --> 00:09:50.319
I hope he's watching tonight. - i do too.
00:09:50.319 --> 00:09:51.353
- i do too. i've been praying for that all
00:09:51.353 --> 00:09:53.422
I've been praying for that all week.
00:09:53.422 --> 00:09:56.592
Week. - anyhow.
00:09:56.592 --> 00:09:58.327
- anyhow. i was dating him.
00:09:58.327 --> 00:10:00.462
I was dating him. we dated all through college.
00:10:00.462 --> 00:10:04.133
We dated all through college. he graduated a year before me.
00:10:04.133 --> 00:10:05.701
He graduated a year before me. then when i graduated i moved to
00:10:05.701 --> 00:10:07.870
Then when i graduated i moved to a town to be pretty close to
00:10:07.870 --> 00:10:10.005
A town to be pretty close to where he was in graduate school.
00:10:10.005 --> 00:10:12.941
Where he was in graduate school. and he was taking me out to
00:10:12.941 --> 00:10:14.710
And he was taking me out to dinner for my birthday and i
00:10:14.710 --> 00:10:16.979
Dinner for my birthday and i knew in my heart i knew he would
00:10:16.979 --> 00:10:19.348
Knew in my heart i knew he would ask me to marry him.
00:10:19.348 --> 00:10:20.516
Ask me to marry him. he was acting really nervous and
00:10:20.516 --> 00:10:22.384
He was acting really nervous and this will be the most epic
00:10:22.384 --> 00:10:24.586
This will be the most epic beautiful night of my life.
00:10:24.586 --> 00:10:25.988
Beautiful night of my life. and halfway through dinner he
00:10:25.988 --> 00:10:28.323
And halfway through dinner he looked at me and said lisa i
00:10:28.323 --> 00:10:29.158
Looked at me and said lisa i have something really important
00:10:29.158 --> 00:10:29.558
Have something really important to tell you.
00:10:29.558 --> 00:10:31.760
To tell you. yes?
00:10:31.760 --> 00:10:32.561
Yes? and he said, i've met someone
00:10:32.561 --> 00:10:35.798
And he said, i've met someone else.
00:10:35.798 --> 00:10:37.733
Else. and it was a moment of utter
00:10:37.733 --> 00:10:40.235
And it was a moment of utter shock to me.
00:10:40.235 --> 00:10:43.205
Shock to me. because in that moment, you see,
00:10:43.205 --> 00:10:45.140
Because in that moment, you see, my female brain had already run
00:10:45.140 --> 00:10:47.109
My female brain had already run ahead like i had already named
00:10:47.109 --> 00:10:50.012
Ahead like i had already named our kids, i already planned our
00:10:50.012 --> 00:10:51.346
Our kids, i already planned our family vacations, like i already
00:10:51.346 --> 00:10:53.348
Family vacations, like i already knew the kind of house we would
00:10:53.348 --> 00:10:55.050
Knew the kind of house we would move into, raise our family in.
00:10:55.050 --> 00:10:57.953
Move into, raise our family in. in that moment it wasn't just my
00:10:57.953 --> 00:10:59.955
In that moment it wasn't just my boyfriend breaking my heart and
00:10:59.955 --> 00:11:01.123
Boyfriend breaking my heart and shattering my dream of getting
00:11:01.123 --> 00:11:04.059
Shattering my dream of getting married, it was the death of
00:11:04.059 --> 00:11:05.594
Married, it was the death of those children, it was the death
00:11:05.594 --> 00:11:06.829
Those children, it was the death of those dreams, it was the
00:11:06.829 --> 00:11:09.431
Of those dreams, it was the death of the future.
00:11:09.431 --> 00:11:11.166
Death of the future. so there was an enormous amount
00:11:11.166 --> 00:11:12.167
So there was an enormous amount of grief.
00:11:12.167 --> 00:11:13.469
Of grief. and i know i'm not alone in
00:11:13.469 --> 00:11:15.437
And i know i'm not alone in that.
00:11:15.437 --> 00:11:17.806
That. so the abandonment of a father.
00:11:17.806 --> 00:11:19.975
So the abandonment of a father. the utter rejection of a boy i
00:11:19.975 --> 00:11:21.710
The utter rejection of a boy i thought loved me and was going
00:11:21.710 --> 00:11:23.679
Thought loved me and was going to marry me, it can really do
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:27.316
To marry me, it can really do quite a number on our hearts.
00:11:27.316 --> 00:11:30.252
Quite a number on our hearts. and so i felt it was important
00:11:30.252 --> 00:11:32.354
And so i felt it was important to tackle the topic of rejection
00:11:32.354 --> 00:11:34.289
To tackle the topic of rejection useing the truth of scripture.
00:11:34.289 --> 00:11:36.525
Useing the truth of scripture. there's a lot of rejection in
00:11:36.525 --> 00:11:38.560
There's a lot of rejection in psychological world.
00:11:38.560 --> 00:11:40.362
Psychological world. i feel why not go straight to
00:11:40.362 --> 00:11:43.432
I feel why not go straight to the one who made us, the one who
00:11:43.432 --> 00:11:45.801
The one who made us, the one who knows the very dna of our soul,
00:11:45.801 --> 00:11:47.436
Knows the very dna of our soul, the place really where our head
00:11:47.436 --> 00:11:49.138
The place really where our head and heart connect and we were
00:11:49.138 --> 00:11:53.909
And heart connect and we were made to give and receive love.
00:11:53.909 --> 00:11:55.244
Made to give and receive love. we weren't made for rejection.
00:11:55.244 --> 00:11:57.312
We weren't made for rejection. god can certainly come in and
00:11:57.312 --> 00:12:03.318
God can certainly come in and help heal those wounds.
00:12:03.318 --> 00:12:05.854

[music] - it's just obedience to god,
00:13:09.952 --> 00:13:11.687
- it's just obedience to god, reaction that determines our
00:13:11.687 --> 00:13:14.690
Reaction that determines our reach, that determine how much
00:13:14.690 --> 00:13:17.025

Godliness. we have to remember god's job
00:13:22.731 --> 00:13:26.568
We have to remember god's job isn't my job.

00:14:39.374 --> 00:14:41.176
... and it just makes you feel kind
00:14:41.176 --> 00:14:43.445
And it just makes you feel kind of the truth of his character.
00:14:43.445 --> 00:14:45.847
Of the truth of his character. because the scripture says he
00:14:45.847 --> 00:14:48.150
Because the scripture says he was mean in his dealings.
00:14:48.150 --> 00:14:49.718
Was mean in his dealings. and it also there's some clues
00:14:49.718 --> 00:14:52.454
And it also there's some clues in there as well that says he
00:14:52.454 --> 00:14:53.889
In there as well that says he was so hardhearted no one could
00:14:53.889 --> 00:14:54.957
Was so hardhearted no one could even talk to him.
00:14:54.957 --> 00:14:59.661
Even talk to him. i don't think he was just mean
00:14:59.661 --> 00:15:00.762
I don't think he was just mean in his business dealings.
00:15:00.762 --> 00:15:01.697
In his business dealings. i think he brought it home as
00:15:01.697 --> 00:15:05.033
I think he brought it home as well.
00:15:05.033 --> 00:15:05.801
Well. abigail had certain realities of
00:15:05.801 --> 00:15:06.935
Abigail had certain realities of her life.
00:15:06.935 --> 00:15:08.036
Her life. married to a man that's very
00:15:08.036 --> 00:15:08.537
Married to a man that's very difficult.
00:15:08.537 --> 00:15:11.440
Difficult. that's a burden.
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:12.674
That's a burden. also blessings because her
00:15:12.674 --> 00:15:14.743
Also blessings because her husband is very wealthy.
00:15:14.743 --> 00:15:15.711
Husband is very wealthy. we find out that in scripture as
00:15:15.711 --> 00:15:18.780
We find out that in scripture as well.
00:15:18.780 --> 00:15:23.118
Well. very busy season, festivals.
00:15:23.118 --> 00:15:25.220
Very busy season, festivals. she's been very busy and all the
00:15:25.220 --> 00:15:27.422
She's been very busy and all the stuff she needs to do to prepare
00:15:27.422 --> 00:15:29.524
Stuff she needs to do to prepare for the festival.
00:15:29.524 --> 00:15:31.460
For the festival. so david comes on the scene.
00:15:31.460 --> 00:15:34.463
So david comes on the scene. now david is the one we read
00:15:34.463 --> 00:15:35.998
Now david is the one we read about in the bible with david
00:15:35.998 --> 00:15:38.100
About in the bible with david and goliath and all of that.
00:15:38.100 --> 00:15:43.005
And goliath and all of that. now, at the point we find david
00:15:43.005 --> 00:15:43.772
Now, at the point we find david interacting with abigail he's
00:15:43.772 --> 00:15:45.507
Interacting with abigail he's anointed to be the future king
00:15:45.507 --> 00:15:46.675
Anointed to be the future king but not ap painted to take the
00:15:46.675 --> 00:15:48.410
But not ap painted to take the throne.
00:15:48.410 --> 00:15:52.280
Throne. currently when we find him in 25
00:15:52.280 --> 00:15:54.483
Currently when we find him in 25 david has been running from his
00:15:54.483 --> 00:15:56.084
David has been running from his life from saul the existing king
00:15:56.084 --> 00:15:58.353
Life from saul the existing king sitting on the throne.
00:15:58.353 --> 00:15:59.855
Sitting on the throne. david has been hiding in caves.
00:15:59.855 --> 00:16:03.859
David has been hiding in caves. very interesting to me as i
00:16:03.859 --> 00:16:06.161
Very interesting to me as i study david's life,
00:16:06.161 --> 00:16:07.462
Study david's life, understanding that he probably
00:16:07.462 --> 00:16:10.799
Understanding that he probably that the point was very, very
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:13.468
That the point was very, very confused and maybe even feeling
00:16:13.468 --> 00:16:15.070
Confused and maybe even feeling slightly rejected by god,
00:16:15.070 --> 00:16:17.239
Slightly rejected by god, because god had made such a big
00:16:17.239 --> 00:16:19.107
Because god had made such a big deal about anointing david to be
00:16:19.107 --> 00:16:22.010
Deal about anointing david to be the future king but david's life
00:16:22.010 --> 00:16:23.812
The future king but david's life doesn't look anything like what
00:16:23.812 --> 00:16:26.915
Doesn't look anything like what a king's life should look like.
00:16:26.915 --> 00:16:30.218
A king's life should look like. david suffered pretty
00:16:30.218 --> 00:16:31.553
David suffered pretty significant rejection we find
00:16:31.553 --> 00:16:32.921
Significant rejection we find when prophet samuel came to
00:16:32.921 --> 00:16:36.224
When prophet samuel came to anoint the future king king in
00:16:36.224 --> 00:16:39.694
Anoint the future king king in the home of jesse's son he
00:16:39.694 --> 00:16:41.196
The home of jesse's son he doesn't bring david in the field
00:16:41.196 --> 00:16:43.999
Doesn't bring david in the field and he passes by all the sons,
00:16:43.999 --> 00:16:45.934
And he passes by all the sons, is this all you have, jesse?
00:16:45.934 --> 00:16:47.569
Is this all you have, jesse? there is another one but he's
00:16:47.569 --> 00:16:49.604
There is another one but he's out tending the ship.
00:16:49.604 --> 00:16:51.173
Out tending the ship. can you imagine when david walks
00:16:51.173 --> 00:16:54.176
Can you imagine when david walks in in that moment and the
00:16:54.176 --> 00:16:56.244
In in that moment and the realization falls flesh on his,
00:16:56.244 --> 00:16:58.380
Realization falls flesh on his, david's worst day and best day
00:16:58.380 --> 00:17:00.315
David's worst day and best day all at the same moment.
00:17:00.315 --> 00:17:02.284
All at the same moment. he looks at his father who
00:17:02.284 --> 00:17:04.386
He looks at his father who doesn't feel enough to bring him
00:17:04.386 --> 00:17:07.289
Doesn't feel enough to bring him in to meet samuel the prophet.
00:17:07.289 --> 00:17:08.623
In to meet samuel the prophet. big deal that samuel comes into
00:17:08.623 --> 00:17:10.225
Big deal that samuel comes into your presence.
00:17:10.225 --> 00:17:13.128
Your presence. i wonder if david looked at his
00:17:13.128 --> 00:17:14.896
I wonder if david looked at his father and said your love should
00:17:14.896 --> 00:17:16.865
Father and said your love should have felt like a security
00:17:16.865 --> 00:17:18.834
Have felt like a security blanket to me but feels like a
00:17:18.834 --> 00:17:21.703
Blanket to me but feels like a question mark.
00:17:21.703 --> 00:17:23.305
Question mark. david carries rejection we see
00:17:23.305 --> 00:17:25.107
David carries rejection we see come out in the story of
00:17:25.107 --> 00:17:26.374
Come out in the story of abigail.
00:17:26.374 --> 00:17:28.743
Abigail. david is at the point in his
00:17:28.743 --> 00:17:31.113
David is at the point in his life men gather around him and
00:17:31.113 --> 00:17:32.347
Life men gather around him and they find out about both men in
00:17:32.347 --> 00:17:36.518
They find out about both men in 22.
00:17:36.518 --> 00:17:37.486
22. these men were disgruntled in
00:17:37.486 --> 00:17:38.220
These men were disgruntled in every way.
00:17:38.220 --> 00:17:39.354
Every way. a fun group of people to lead,
00:17:39.354 --> 00:17:40.956
A fun group of people to lead, right?
00:17:40.956 --> 00:17:42.691
Right? they gathered around david.
00:17:42.691 --> 00:17:43.525
They gathered around david. there's about six hundred of
00:17:43.525 --> 00:17:49.865
There's about six hundred of them with him.
00:17:49.865 --> 00:17:51.433
Them with him. david is protecting nabal's
00:17:51.433 --> 00:17:53.869
David is protecting nabal's flock and don't know if it was
00:17:53.869 --> 00:17:56.938
Flock and don't know if it was an arranged job but he was
00:17:56.938 --> 00:17:58.173
An arranged job but he was protecting so now it's about
00:17:58.173 --> 00:18:01.409
Protecting so now it's about festive time.
00:18:01.409 --> 00:18:05.213
Festive time. so he sends word to nabal i did
00:18:05.213 --> 00:18:11.319
So he sends word to nabal i did you a favor and send me food and
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:12.687
You a favor and send me food and nabal's response to the men
00:18:12.687 --> 00:18:13.822
Nabal's response to the men david sent is very interesting.
00:18:13.822 --> 00:18:15.557
David sent is very interesting. he said who is this david?
00:18:15.557 --> 00:18:21.062
He said who is this david? who is this son of jesse?
00:18:21.062 --> 00:18:27.402
Who is this son of jesse? the word came back and they
00:18:27.402 --> 00:18:28.436
The word came back and they reported every word nabal said
00:18:28.436 --> 00:18:29.671
Reported every word nabal said to david.
00:18:29.671 --> 00:18:31.006
To david. who is this david?
00:18:31.006 --> 00:18:33.141
Who is this david? who is this son of jesse?
00:18:33.141 --> 00:18:35.310
Who is this son of jesse? at that moment i believe he went
00:18:35.310 --> 00:18:39.181
At that moment i believe he went back in the past, pulled the
00:18:39.181 --> 00:18:41.917
Back in the past, pulled the hurt from event of rejection of
00:18:41.917 --> 00:18:44.419
Hurt from event of rejection of his father and compounded the
00:18:44.419 --> 00:18:46.154
His father and compounded the rejection, nabal said i'll not
00:18:46.154 --> 00:18:48.490
Rejection, nabal said i'll not give you food and david went
00:18:48.490 --> 00:18:50.659
Give you food and david went from being hungry for food to
00:18:50.659 --> 00:18:52.027
From being hungry for food to starving for revenge and david
00:18:52.027 --> 00:18:53.662
Starving for revenge and david said we'll kill him and every
00:18:53.662 --> 00:18:56.665
Said we'll kill him and every man in his household.
00:18:56.665 --> 00:18:58.833
Man in his household. one of the servants catches wind
00:18:58.833 --> 00:19:00.368
One of the servants catches wind in what's going on and get a
00:19:00.368 --> 00:19:02.571
In what's going on and get a woman involved.
00:19:02.571 --> 00:19:04.739
Woman involved. this woman goes and finds
00:19:04.739 --> 00:19:06.808
This woman goes and finds abigail.
00:19:06.808 --> 00:19:09.344
Abigail. the scripture says abigail is
00:19:09.344 --> 00:19:10.111
The scripture says abigail is beautiful and intelligent and
00:19:10.111 --> 00:19:12.581
Beautiful and intelligent and she knows what to do.
00:19:12.581 --> 00:19:14.216
She knows what to do. she's going to prepare a
00:19:14.216 --> 00:19:16.718
She's going to prepare a festival of food.
00:19:16.718 --> 00:19:18.486
Festival of food. she'll prepare the food david
00:19:18.486 --> 00:19:19.254
She'll prepare the food david wants to meet their physical
00:19:19.254 --> 00:19:20.989
Wants to meet their physical needs.
00:19:20.989 --> 00:19:22.224
Needs. abigail will do something much
00:19:22.224 --> 00:19:24.292
Abigail will do something much more significant for david.
00:19:24.292 --> 00:19:26.461
More significant for david. meet a spiritual need i think
00:19:26.461 --> 00:19:27.796
Meet a spiritual need i think one of the greatest speeches
00:19:27.796 --> 00:19:30.332
One of the greatest speeches given by anyone in the bible and
00:19:30.332 --> 00:19:33.802
Given by anyone in the bible and it's given by abigail this woman
00:19:33.802 --> 00:19:35.370
It's given by abigail this woman to this man.
00:19:35.370 --> 00:19:38.106
To this man. he had a great destiny and about
00:19:38.106 --> 00:19:40.041
He had a great destiny and about to derail his destiny because of
00:19:40.041 --> 00:19:41.977
To derail his destiny because of hurt and rejection in his life.
00:19:41.977 --> 00:19:44.412
Hurt and rejection in his life. i just wonder how many of us can
00:19:44.412 --> 00:19:46.915
I just wonder how many of us can find ourself in that same spot.
00:19:46.915 --> 00:19:50.585
Find ourself in that same spot. how many of us can navigate
00:19:50.585 --> 00:19:55.423
How many of us can navigate rejection in our life and
00:19:55.423 --> 00:19:58.159
Rejection in our life and compromise because we're afraid
00:19:58.159 --> 00:19:59.894
Compromise because we're afraid or derail because our reactions
00:19:59.894 --> 00:20:01.596
Or derail because our reactions are out of proportion and forget
00:20:01.596 --> 00:20:04.099
Are out of proportion and forget i've been called to a life of
00:20:04.099 --> 00:20:05.734
I've been called to a life of holiness and purity.
00:20:05.734 --> 00:20:07.269
Holiness and purity. when you're called you're called
00:20:07.269 --> 00:20:08.403
When you're called you're called to serve god with your whole
00:20:08.403 --> 00:20:10.772
To serve god with your whole heart.
00:20:10.772 --> 00:20:13.708
Heart. david is about to derail his
00:20:13.708 --> 00:20:15.644
David is about to derail his destiny because god didn't say
00:20:15.644 --> 00:20:18.146
Destiny because god didn't say to kill him and his household.
00:20:18.146 --> 00:20:19.814
To kill him and his household. it would sit on him a long time
00:20:19.814 --> 00:20:22.617
It would sit on him a long time if he did this.
00:20:22.617 --> 00:20:24.386
If he did this. today's choices become tomorrow
00:20:24.386 --> 00:20:25.754
Today's choices become tomorrow regrets especially when our
00:20:25.754 --> 00:20:28.256
Regrets especially when our emotions get so out of whack and
00:20:28.256 --> 00:20:30.792
Emotions get so out of whack and don't let god rain them in.
00:20:30.792 --> 00:20:32.360
Don't let god rain them in. david goes to meet him and six
00:20:32.360 --> 00:20:34.696
David goes to meet him and six hundred men.
00:20:34.696 --> 00:20:36.464
Hundred men. david has a drawn sword.
00:20:36.464 --> 00:20:40.935
David has a drawn sword. all the men have a drawn sword.
00:20:40.935 --> 00:20:43.305
All the men have a drawn sword. david said, may god deal with me
00:20:43.305 --> 00:20:46.975
David said, may god deal with me ever so severely.
00:20:46.975 --> 00:20:48.109
Ever so severely. and suddenly, there's abigail.
00:20:48.109 --> 00:20:51.046
And suddenly, there's abigail. i'm sorry if i saw a man in that
00:20:51.046 --> 00:20:55.317
I'm sorry if i saw a man in that kind of rage with a drawn sword,
00:20:55.317 --> 00:20:56.518
Kind of rage with a drawn sword, i hardly think i would do what
00:20:56.518 --> 00:20:57.852
I hardly think i would do what she did.
00:20:57.852 --> 00:20:59.821
She did. he comes and bows down in front
00:20:59.821 --> 00:21:05.260
He comes and bows down in front of him in a posture of extreme
00:21:05.260 --> 00:21:06.561
Of him in a posture of extreme humility not only beautiful and
00:21:06.561 --> 00:21:08.129
Humility not only beautiful and intelligent.
00:21:08.129 --> 00:21:11.132
Intelligent. incredibly wise.
00:21:11.132 --> 00:21:14.035
Incredibly wise. she knew only in humility she
00:21:14.035 --> 00:21:15.203
She knew only in humility she would find an opportunity to
00:21:15.203 --> 00:21:17.172
Would find an opportunity to speak to a man like david.
00:21:17.172 --> 00:21:18.740
Speak to a man like david. humility was not a position of
00:21:18.740 --> 00:21:20.075
Humility was not a position of weakness for her.
00:21:20.075 --> 00:21:21.509
Weakness for her. he was a position of incredible
00:21:21.509 --> 00:21:22.377
He was a position of incredible strength.
00:21:22.377 --> 00:21:23.578
Strength. we would do well to remember
00:21:23.578 --> 00:21:26.881
We would do well to remember that as well.
00:21:26.881 --> 00:21:28.450
That as well. then abigail speaks into david's
00:21:28.450 --> 00:21:30.785
Then abigail speaks into david's life and the first thing she
00:21:30.785 --> 00:21:32.687
Life and the first thing she says when she starts off after
00:21:32.687 --> 00:21:34.656
Says when she starts off after her introduction.
00:21:34.656 --> 00:21:36.458
Her introduction. she says, pay no attention to
00:21:36.458 --> 00:21:39.527
She says, pay no attention to that wicked man nabal.
00:21:39.527 --> 00:21:41.629
That wicked man nabal. he's just like his name fool and
00:21:41.629 --> 00:21:42.564
He's just like his name fool and folly goes with him everywhere
00:21:42.564 --> 00:21:46.301
Folly goes with him everywhere he goes.
00:21:46.301 --> 00:21:48.269
He goes. i love abigail says your problem
00:21:48.269 --> 00:21:49.671
I love abigail says your problem is you're paying attention to
00:21:49.671 --> 00:21:51.406
Is you're paying attention to fools and foolish things and
00:21:51.406 --> 00:21:54.209
Fools and foolish things and when we pay attention to fools
00:21:54.209 --> 00:21:56.177
When we pay attention to fools and foolish things we'll
00:21:56.177 --> 00:22:05.019
And foolish things we'll bankrupt perspective every time.
00:22:05.019 --> 00:22:09.324
Bankrupt perspective every time. you'll steer where you stare.
00:22:09.324 --> 00:22:10.892
You'll steer where you stare. you have to stare at god's
00:22:10.892 --> 00:22:12.861
You have to stare at god's calling on your life and his
00:22:12.861 --> 00:22:14.195
Calling on your life and his truth and assignment so you
00:22:14.195 --> 00:22:15.363
Truth and assignment so you don't get pulled into this other
00:22:15.363 --> 00:22:17.098
Don't get pulled into this other thing.
00:22:17.098 --> 00:22:18.900
Thing. i really believe our job is to
00:22:18.900 --> 00:22:24.439
I really believe our job is to be obedient to god.
00:22:24.439 --> 00:22:32.013
Be obedient to god. god's job is everything else.
00:22:32.013 --> 00:22:34.916
God's job is everything else. she reminds david over and over,
00:22:34.916 --> 00:22:36.084
She reminds david over and over, i think she's reminding david, i
00:22:36.084 --> 00:22:37.051
I think she's reminding david, i heard about you.
00:22:37.051 --> 00:22:38.620
Heard about you. i know what you did when you had
00:22:38.620 --> 00:22:42.724
I know what you did when you had a sling in your hand.
00:22:42.724 --> 00:22:45.560
A sling in your hand. you charged towards someone,
00:22:45.560 --> 00:22:46.928
You charged towards someone, goliath that someone else go
00:22:46.928 --> 00:22:47.929
Goliath that someone else go against and you have the
00:22:47.929 --> 00:22:49.264
Against and you have the courage, why?
00:22:49.264 --> 00:22:52.700
Courage, why? because god did that for you.
00:22:52.700 --> 00:22:54.068
Because god did that for you. god empowered you.
00:22:54.068 --> 00:22:55.236
God empowered you. if he did it before.
00:22:55.236 --> 00:22:58.139
If he did it before. he'll do it again.
00:22:58.139 --> 00:23:00.909
He'll do it again. sometimes when we're in this
00:23:00.909 --> 00:23:02.210
Sometimes when we're in this really difficult life situations
00:23:02.210 --> 00:23:05.180
Really difficult life situations like what david is in hiding in
00:23:05.180 --> 00:23:07.682
Like what david is in hiding in caves knowing god anointed me
00:23:07.682 --> 00:23:09.250
Caves knowing god anointed me but my life doesn't look
00:23:09.250 --> 00:23:10.618
But my life doesn't look anything like i thought god
00:23:10.618 --> 00:23:12.387
Anything like i thought god promised me it would and this
00:23:12.387 --> 00:23:13.955
Promised me it would and this man rejected me in front of my
00:23:13.955 --> 00:23:16.157
Man rejected me in front of my men and shamed and pulling into
00:23:16.157 --> 00:23:17.725
Men and shamed and pulling into the pain of the past rejection
00:23:17.725 --> 00:23:18.827
The pain of the past rejection of my father.
00:23:18.827 --> 00:23:21.563
Of my father. all of us have found ourselves
00:23:21.563 --> 00:23:22.230
All of us have found ourselves in these really difficult
00:23:22.230 --> 00:23:25.033
In these really difficult situations.
00:23:25.033 --> 00:23:25.834
Situations. abigail is reminding not only
00:23:25.834 --> 00:23:27.368
Abigail is reminding not only david but us.
00:23:27.368 --> 00:23:28.903
David but us. we have to trace god's hand of
00:23:28.903 --> 00:23:31.072
We have to trace god's hand of faithfulness.
00:23:31.072 --> 00:23:32.874
Faithfulness. if we can't see god's
00:23:32.874 --> 00:23:33.641
If we can't see god's faithfulness in our
00:23:33.641 --> 00:23:36.544
Faithfulness in our circumstances today we have to
00:23:36.544 --> 00:23:37.645
Circumstances today we have to trace god's hand and the
00:23:37.645 --> 00:23:39.047
Trace god's hand and the circumstances for ourselves.
00:23:39.047 --> 00:23:40.281
Circumstances for ourselves. god did it before and will do it
00:23:40.281 --> 00:23:44.886
God did it before and will do it again.
00:23:44.886 --> 00:23:46.387
Again. i think the story winds up in a
00:23:46.387 --> 00:23:48.756
I think the story winds up in a powerful way.
00:23:48.756 --> 00:23:51.025
Powerful way. the story winds up he doesn't
00:23:51.025 --> 00:23:53.828
The story winds up he doesn't kill.
00:23:53.828 --> 00:23:56.865
Kill. he stays on course and sends
00:23:56.865 --> 00:24:00.068
He stays on course and sends abigail to him.
00:24:00.068 --> 00:24:00.768
Abigail to him. david, right before she walks
00:24:00.768 --> 00:24:02.971
David, right before she walks off.
00:24:02.971 --> 00:24:04.973
Off. once god's done everything he
00:24:04.973 --> 00:24:06.875
Once god's done everything he promised remember your servant.
00:24:06.875 --> 00:24:11.613
Promised remember your servant. i don't want to make assumption
00:24:11.613 --> 00:24:14.249
I don't want to make assumption she's flirting here.
00:24:14.249 --> 00:24:18.753
She's flirting here. god does eventually deal with
00:24:18.753 --> 00:24:21.256
God does eventually deal with nabal and he's struck down and
00:24:21.256 --> 00:24:26.327
Nabal and he's struck down and dies and david sent word to
00:24:26.327 --> 00:24:27.228
Dies and david sent word to abigail asking her to become his
00:24:27.228 --> 00:24:27.529
Abigail asking her to become his wife.
00:24:27.529 --> 00:24:29.797
Wife. amazing.
00:24:29.797 --> 00:24:32.367
Amazing. abigail got up on her donkey and
00:24:32.367 --> 00:24:33.601
Abigail got up on her donkey and said here am i, ready to serve
00:24:33.601 --> 00:24:35.069
Said here am i, ready to serve you.
00:24:35.069 --> 00:24:36.971
You. the story doesn't end there.
00:24:36.971 --> 00:24:38.940
The story doesn't end there. it's kind of messy because david
00:24:38.940 --> 00:24:41.809
It's kind of messy because david has some other wives and
00:24:41.809 --> 00:24:44.379
Has some other wives and concubines and gets...
00:24:44.379 --> 00:24:47.315
Concubines and gets... but regardless, i love the fact
00:24:47.315 --> 00:24:49.784
But regardless, i love the fact that her story doesn't tie up in
00:24:49.784 --> 00:24:51.886
That her story doesn't tie up in a neat bow because my life
00:24:51.886 --> 00:24:53.288
A neat bow because my life doesn't ever either.
00:24:53.288 --> 00:24:54.923
Doesn't ever either. you think it's such a beautiful
00:24:54.923 --> 00:24:57.358
You think it's such a beautiful picture.
00:24:57.358 --> 00:24:59.294
Picture. aábl gale could play the victory
00:24:59.294 --> 00:25:01.663
Aábl gale could play the victory card in her life.
00:25:01.663 --> 00:25:02.430
Card in her life. i'm sure she felt reject
00:25:02.430 --> 00:25:04.399
I'm sure she felt reject machine.
00:25:04.399 --> 00:25:07.902
Machine. rejection.
00:25:07.902 --> 00:25:11.839
Rejection. when a woman lives in a home
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:14.909
When a woman lives in a home where the man is there but not
00:25:14.909 --> 00:25:16.311
Where the man is there but not present, it leaves a hole in a
00:25:16.311 --> 00:25:18.012
Present, it leaves a hole in a girl's heart.
00:25:18.012 --> 00:25:20.181
Girl's heart. she walked the path of victory.
00:25:20.181 --> 00:25:22.317
She walked the path of victory. it's impossible to hold up
00:25:22.317 --> 00:25:23.084
It's impossible to hold up banners of victim and victory at
00:25:23.084 --> 00:25:24.052
Banners of victim and victory at the same time.
00:25:24.052 --> 00:25:26.588
The same time. we have to make that choice.
00:25:26.588 --> 00:25:29.090
We have to make that choice. i love that abigail took her own
00:25:29.090 --> 00:25:30.892
I love that abigail took her own hurt and own rejection and
00:25:30.892 --> 00:25:32.827
Hurt and own rejection and instead of it working against
00:25:32.827 --> 00:25:35.163
Instead of it working against her, she created this response
00:25:35.163 --> 00:25:37.498
Her, she created this response to david and obedience to god
00:25:37.498 --> 00:25:45.907
To david and obedience to god that i believe kept david on the
00:25:45.907 --> 00:25:47.609
That i believe kept david on the path to becoming the...
00:25:47.609 --> 00:25:49.344
Path to becoming the... - powerful.
00:25:49.344 --> 00:25:51.145
- powerful. as you were talking, you can't
00:25:51.145 --> 00:25:53.982
As you were talking, you can't be a victor and victim together.
00:25:53.982 --> 00:25:56.918
Be a victor and victim together. i was speaking to our audience
00:25:56.918 --> 00:25:57.919
I was speaking to our audience unpacking so much truth.
00:25:57.919 --> 00:26:00.355
Unpacking so much truth. you want to make sure that you
00:26:00.355 --> 00:26:02.423
You want to make sure that you get this book.
00:26:02.423 --> 00:26:04.892
Get this book. there's so much truth.
00:26:04.892 --> 00:26:09.097
There's so much truth. go to our new number...
00:26:09.097 --> 00:26:11.633
Go to our new number... and i know because i battled
00:26:11.633 --> 00:26:12.400
And i know because i battled that rejection in my life
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:13.534
That rejection in my life constantly.
00:26:13.534 --> 00:26:15.269
Constantly. but here's what i want to say.
00:26:15.269 --> 00:26:17.538
But here's what i want to say. i know some of you, this is
00:26:17.538 --> 00:26:18.806
I know some of you, this is treated a whole lot.
00:26:18.806 --> 00:26:21.909
Treated a whole lot. the only way truly you can
00:26:21.909 --> 00:26:24.812
The only way truly you can counteract rejection is by
00:26:24.812 --> 00:26:26.581
Counteract rejection is by knowing ultimately where your
00:26:26.581 --> 00:26:27.749
Knowing ultimately where your ultimate acceptance comes from,
00:26:27.749 --> 00:26:28.716
Ultimate acceptance comes from, knowing who your heavenly father
00:26:28.716 --> 00:26:32.920
Knowing who your heavenly father is.
00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:34.656
Is. lysa talked about rejection from
00:26:34.656 --> 00:26:36.658
Lysa talked about rejection from her earthly father and she had
00:26:36.658 --> 00:26:39.527
Her earthly father and she had to know love of her heavenly
00:26:39.527 --> 00:26:41.195
To know love of her heavenly father would negate the pain
00:26:41.195 --> 00:26:42.997
Father would negate the pain from her earthly father.
00:26:42.997 --> 00:26:45.733
From her earthly father. my case from my earthly mother.
00:26:45.733 --> 00:26:47.535
My case from my earthly mother. you are listening to this, some
00:26:47.535 --> 00:26:50.405
You are listening to this, some of you like lysa left you at the
00:26:50.405 --> 00:26:55.076
Of you like lysa left you at the altar and walked out on you, ex
00:26:55.076 --> 00:26:57.178
Altar and walked out on you, ex lover, ex spouse, you were dumb,
00:26:57.178 --> 00:26:58.513
Lover, ex spouse, you were dumb, you were stupid.
00:26:58.513 --> 00:26:59.914
You were stupid. you'll never amount to anything.
00:26:59.914 --> 00:27:01.449
You'll never amount to anything. friend left you.
00:27:01.449 --> 00:27:04.052
Friend left you. didn't invite you to a party
00:27:04.052 --> 00:27:07.121
Didn't invite you to a party everyone else was invited to and
00:27:07.121 --> 00:27:08.122
Everyone else was invited to and you're carrying the wounds of
00:27:08.122 --> 00:27:08.856
You're carrying the wounds of rejection.
00:27:08.856 --> 00:27:09.824
Rejection. you're loved by god.
00:27:09.824 --> 00:27:12.193
You're loved by god. chosen by god.
00:27:12.193 --> 00:27:13.094
Chosen by god. your history doesn't define your
00:27:13.094 --> 00:27:14.896
Your history doesn't define your destiny.
00:27:14.896 --> 00:27:17.298
Destiny. love of god can permeate the
00:27:17.298 --> 00:27:19.534
Love of god can permeate the greatest wonder in your life and
00:27:19.534 --> 00:27:21.536
Greatest wonder in your life and bring healing and restoration.
00:27:21.536 --> 00:27:22.236
Bring healing and restoration. unnamed and unwanted in a

Unnamed and unwanted in a hospital.

I was sexually abused for 12 years.

He can do something. in a moment you can bring

In a moment you can bring healing to the root of
00:27:56.337 --> 00:27:59.340
Healing to the root of rejection.
00:27:59.340 --> 00:28:00.475
Rejection. i was a gaping wound.

On the other side of the screen. i can sense tears screaming down

I can sense tears screaming down people's faces as they're
00:28:15.156 --> 00:28:16.157
People's faces as they're reminded of the roots of
00:28:16.157 --> 00:28:18.226

You perceive the rejection. sometimes we have so many
00:29:31.666 --> 00:29:33.568
Sometimes we have so many scripts running through our head
00:29:33.568 --> 00:29:36.304
Scripts running through our head like a ticker tape of just
00:29:36.304 --> 00:29:37.605
Like a ticker tape of just statements and thoughts and then
00:29:37.605 --> 00:29:39.807

One likes it and no one is leaving a comment or we see
00:29:58.926 --> 00:30:01.062
Leaving a comment or we see someone at an event and they
00:30:01.062 --> 00:30:01.863

We assign conversations those people never have with us.
00:30:23.351 --> 00:30:25.119
People never have with us. they put us on.

I was working so hard to keep up with this woman and talking loud

With this woman and talking loud and the girl got off in a huff
00:31:54.976 --> 00:31:56.377
And the girl got off in a huff and walked off.
00:31:56.377 --> 00:31:58.946
And walked off. every time after that i saw her
00:31:58.946 --> 00:32:00.648
Every time after that i saw her at the gym i perceived daggers
00:32:00.648 --> 00:32:02.016
At the gym i perceived daggers out of her eyes.
00:32:02.016 --> 00:32:04.919
Out of her eyes. i had this whole thing i wonder
00:32:04.919 --> 00:32:06.520

00:32:06.520 --> 00:32:08.789
If the woman who hates me will be at the gym today.
00:32:08.789 --> 00:32:10.758
Be at the gym today. then a few months later i was
00:32:10.758 --> 00:32:12.526
Then a few months later i was walking in the gym bathroom and
00:32:12.526 --> 00:32:15.463
Walking in the gym bathroom and she was walking out and she
00:32:15.463 --> 00:32:17.765
She was walking out and she smiled at me not like i'm going
00:32:17.765 --> 00:32:21.402
Smiled at me not like i'm going to whip your gym on the floor.
00:32:21.402 --> 00:32:24.972
To whip your gym on the floor. haven't i seen you?
00:32:24.972 --> 00:32:26.173
Haven't i seen you? i don't think she's been
00:32:26.173 --> 00:32:27.308
I don't think she's been thinking about me at all.
00:32:27.308 --> 00:32:29.810
Thinking about me at all. i don't think she has any
00:32:29.810 --> 00:32:31.178
I don't think she has any perceived or rejection.
00:32:31.178 --> 00:32:32.313
Perceived or rejection. i think it's all been in my
00:32:32.313 --> 00:32:33.748
I think it's all been in my head.
00:32:33.748 --> 00:32:35.850
Head. and it really started to make me
00:32:35.850 --> 00:32:38.619
And it really started to make me think not just the woman at the
00:32:38.619 --> 00:32:44.325
Think not just the woman at the gym but in any important
00:32:44.325 --> 00:32:45.926
Gym but in any important relationships, i think i assign
00:32:45.926 --> 00:32:47.661
Relationships, i think i assign statements that they're thinking
00:32:47.661 --> 00:32:49.430
Statements that they're thinking about me or saying to me they
00:32:49.430 --> 00:32:51.532
About me or saying to me they never thought or said and can
00:32:51.532 --> 00:32:53.300
Never thought or said and can mess up relationships.
00:32:53.300 --> 00:32:55.436
Mess up relationships. what happened again is that root
00:32:55.436 --> 00:32:57.605
What happened again is that root of rejection from the past we
00:32:57.605 --> 00:33:02.843
Of rejection from the past we pull into the present and damage
00:33:02.843 --> 00:33:03.878
Pull into the present and damage relationships almost like self
00:33:03.878 --> 00:33:04.779
Relationships almost like self fulfilled prophecy in our life.
00:33:04.779 --> 00:33:07.014
Fulfilled prophecy in our life. - i know a lot of people live,
00:33:07.014 --> 00:33:08.482
- i know a lot of people live, i know people.
00:33:08.482 --> 00:33:11.752
I know people. i know people that do this.
00:33:11.752 --> 00:33:13.154
I know people that do this. and sometimes they are miserable
00:33:13.154 --> 00:33:13.621
And sometimes they are miserable to get around.
00:33:13.621 --> 00:33:15.222
To get around. really?
00:33:15.222 --> 00:33:17.191
Really? snon thinking that.
00:33:17.191 --> 00:33:20.194
Snon thinking that. how do we stop that in our
00:33:20.194 --> 00:33:22.263
How do we stop that in our minds.
00:33:22.263 --> 00:33:24.065
Minds. what's the best thing to grab a
00:33:24.065 --> 00:33:26.400
What's the best thing to grab a hold of right now and take with
00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:27.501
Hold of right now and take with us tomorrow?
00:33:27.501 --> 00:33:29.870
Us tomorrow? - i think one thing we have to
00:33:29.870 --> 00:33:32.173
- i think one thing we have to be more aware of the thoughts.
00:33:32.173 --> 00:33:35.309
Be more aware of the thoughts. the bible is very clear to take
00:33:35.309 --> 00:33:35.976
The bible is very clear to take every thought captive and
00:33:35.976 --> 00:33:36.844
Every thought captive and obedient to christ.
00:33:36.844 --> 00:33:40.181
Obedient to christ. i think we need to get a little
00:33:40.181 --> 00:33:41.148
I think we need to get a little more intentional about paying
00:33:41.148 --> 00:33:42.683
More intentional about paying attention to our thoughts and if
00:33:42.683 --> 00:33:44.985
Attention to our thoughts and if we're not able to do it mentally
00:33:44.985 --> 00:33:47.121
We're not able to do it mentally we write them in a journal.
00:33:47.121 --> 00:33:49.690
We write them in a journal. once we look at a thought that's
00:33:49.690 --> 00:33:50.891
Once we look at a thought that's been consuming our brain holds
00:33:50.891 --> 00:33:53.594
Been consuming our brain holds up to the truth and see what
00:33:53.594 --> 00:33:54.361
Up to the truth and see what will fit and which ones don't
00:33:54.361 --> 00:33:55.496
Will fit and which ones don't fit.
00:33:55.496 --> 00:33:56.831
Fit. our thought life is very, very
00:33:56.831 --> 00:33:58.032
Our thought life is very, very powerful.
00:33:58.032 --> 00:33:59.433
Powerful. how we think is how we'll
00:33:59.433 --> 00:34:05.506
How we think is how we'll eventually act.
00:34:05.506 --> 00:34:07.475
Eventually act. if we're always thinking i'm
00:34:07.475 --> 00:34:08.976
If we're always thinking i'm rejected and don't fit in, we'll
00:34:08.976 --> 00:34:11.378
Rejected and don't fit in, we'll carry that with us in the
00:34:11.378 --> 00:34:12.980
Carry that with us in the attitude and day and think our
00:34:12.980 --> 00:34:14.448
Attitude and day and think our thought life is important.
00:34:14.448 --> 00:34:18.552
Thought life is important. i think taking time out to
00:34:18.552 --> 00:34:19.920
I think taking time out to examine rejection and really
00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:22.189
Examine rejection and really look at where could this be
00:34:22.189 --> 00:34:24.225
Look at where could this be effecting me today.
00:34:24.225 --> 00:34:26.927

Start texting me back. i think part of that problem is
00:35:09.703 --> 00:35:11.138
I think part of that problem is we are thinking of ourselves way
00:35:11.138 --> 00:35:12.239
We are thinking of ourselves way too much.
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:16.310

00:36:02.389 --> 00:36:03.791
Love. and i think that's really,
00:36:03.791 --> 00:36:06.160
And i think that's really, really powerful.
00:36:06.160 --> 00:36:09.430
Really powerful. but another thing that i give
00:36:09.430 --> 00:36:11.966
But another thing that i give people is prayers to pray in
00:36:11.966 --> 00:36:13.234
People is prayers to pray in that desperate in between.
00:36:13.234 --> 00:36:16.403
That desperate in between. it's one thing for us to go,
00:36:16.403 --> 00:36:17.738
It's one thing for us to go, okay, replace your thoughts with
00:36:17.738 --> 00:36:18.706
Okay, replace your thoughts with god's truth.
00:36:18.706 --> 00:36:21.475
God's truth. that's awesome and wonderful.
00:36:21.475 --> 00:36:24.812
That's awesome and wonderful. at 2 a.m. when you are
00:36:24.812 --> 00:36:26.547
At 2 a.m. when you are miserable, and you're so tempted
00:36:26.547 --> 00:36:28.549
Miserable, and you're so tempted to send a text just hoping this
00:36:28.549 --> 00:36:30.251
To send a text just hoping this will be the time he will see the
00:36:30.251 --> 00:36:32.987
Will be the time he will see the light and come back to me,
00:36:32.987 --> 00:36:33.654
Light and come back to me, that's called desperate in
00:36:33.654 --> 00:36:36.123
That's called desperate in between.
00:36:36.123 --> 00:36:37.658
Between. you're not too old yet either.
00:36:37.658 --> 00:36:39.627
You're not too old yet either. what do you do in those
00:36:39.627 --> 00:36:41.528
What do you do in those snoements i type out prayers.
00:36:41.528 --> 00:36:43.897
Snoements i type out prayers. i really think if people will go
00:36:43.897 --> 00:36:45.332
I really think if people will go through, they don't have to
00:36:45.332 --> 00:36:46.800
Through, they don't have to think up what to pray.
00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:48.135
Think up what to pray. they're all scriptural prayers.
00:36:48.135 --> 00:36:49.970
They're all scriptural prayers. you pray the word of god and
00:36:49.970 --> 00:36:50.738
You pray the word of god and you'll pray yourself into the
00:36:50.738 --> 00:36:52.239
You'll pray yourself into the will of god.
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:54.408
Will of god. and you'll not text him at 2
00:36:54.408 --> 00:36:56.744
And you'll not text him at 2 a.m. and you'll not go stay in
00:36:56.744 --> 00:36:58.512
A.m. and you'll not go stay in his apartment because you're so
00:36:58.512 --> 00:36:59.213
His apartment because you're so desperate for one last time
00:36:59.213 --> 00:37:02.950
Desperate for one last time feeling of love.
00:37:02.950 --> 00:37:05.519
Feeling of love. and you'll not let that person
00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:06.453
And you'll not let that person emotionally abusing you to treat
00:37:06.453 --> 00:37:08.022
Emotionally abusing you to treat you that way anymore and you'll
00:37:08.022 --> 00:37:11.759
You that way anymore and you'll stand up and say i am a holy and
00:37:11.759 --> 00:37:13.093
Stand up and say i am a holy and dearly loved child of the
00:37:13.093 --> 00:37:16.764
Dearly loved child of the almighty god and i'm going to be
00:37:16.764 --> 00:37:18.966
Almighty god and i'm going to be responsible for the acceptance
00:37:18.966 --> 00:37:20.067
Responsible for the acceptance he's already given me.
00:37:20.067 --> 00:37:23.404
He's already given me. - i love that.
00:37:23.404 --> 00:37:24.605
- i love that. three major statements you're
00:37:24.605 --> 00:37:26.674
Three major statements you're making here.
00:37:26.674 --> 00:37:29.043
Making here. if we're going to accept god's
00:37:29.043 --> 00:37:32.012
If we're going to accept god's love we believe god's good.
00:37:32.012 --> 00:37:33.881
Love we believe god's good. tell us a little bit.
00:37:33.881 --> 00:37:34.615
Tell us a little bit. - the three statements are
00:37:34.615 --> 00:37:35.049
- the three statements are this.
00:37:35.049 --> 00:37:43.123
This. let me tell you.
00:37:43.123 --> 00:37:44.058
Let me tell you. i wrestled with these statements
00:37:44.058 --> 00:37:48.562
I wrestled with these statements throughout my life.
00:37:48.562 --> 00:37:50.564
Throughout my life. am i right vulnerably, i
00:37:50.564 --> 00:37:51.799
Am i right vulnerably, i wouldn't say them unless i knew
00:37:51.799 --> 00:37:55.936
Wouldn't say them unless i knew them to be true.
00:37:55.936 --> 00:37:56.770
Them to be true. this wasn't an afternoon writing
00:37:56.770 --> 00:37:59.640
This wasn't an afternoon writing out.
00:37:59.640 --> 00:38:01.408
Out. this was decades of wrestling
00:38:01.408 --> 00:38:02.643
This was decades of wrestling and coming to the understanding
00:38:02.643 --> 00:38:05.045
And coming to the understanding this is truth and i can build my
00:38:05.045 --> 00:38:06.647
This is truth and i can build my foundation of my life on it.
00:38:06.647 --> 00:38:08.382
Foundation of my life on it. the first is god is good.
00:38:08.382 --> 00:38:09.249
The first is god is good. our circumstances may not be
00:38:09.249 --> 00:38:10.284
Our circumstances may not be good.
00:38:10.284 --> 00:38:12.119
Good. people may not be good.
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:13.687
People may not be good. others may not treat us good but
00:38:13.687 --> 00:38:15.856
Others may not treat us good but god himself is good.
00:38:15.856 --> 00:38:18.592
God himself is good. and i dive into that in the
00:38:18.592 --> 00:38:21.395
And i dive into that in the scripture to say, we live in a
00:38:21.395 --> 00:38:22.396
Scripture to say, we live in a bren fallen world where crazy
00:38:22.396 --> 00:38:24.698
Bren fallen world where crazy things are going to happen.
00:38:24.698 --> 00:38:26.900
Things are going to happen. but we can't assign to god the
00:38:26.900 --> 00:38:29.236
But we can't assign to god the actions of other people or the
00:38:29.236 --> 00:38:30.504
Actions of other people or the actions of may be even something
00:38:30.504 --> 00:38:38.445
Actions of may be even something that happened at church.
00:38:38.445 --> 00:38:42.316
That happened at church. god is god.
00:38:42.316 --> 00:38:44.651
God is god. god is good to me.
00:38:44.651 --> 00:38:46.186
God is good to me. i talk about tracing god's hand
00:38:46.186 --> 00:38:47.721
I talk about tracing god's hand of faithfulness.
00:38:47.721 --> 00:38:49.757
Of faithfulness. so many times god has allowed
00:38:49.757 --> 00:38:51.892
So many times god has allowed certain things in my life and i
00:38:51.892 --> 00:38:53.260
Certain things in my life and i thought it doesn't feel god's
00:38:53.260 --> 00:38:54.495
Thought it doesn't feel god's being good to me in this you
00:38:54.495 --> 00:39:00.067
Being good to me in this you know?
00:39:00.067 --> 00:39:01.301
Know? i've come to the understanding
00:39:01.301 --> 00:39:04.405
I've come to the understanding god's not doing it to me but for
00:39:04.405 --> 00:39:06.306
God's not doing it to me but for me.
00:39:06.306 --> 00:39:07.441
Me. i'll be able to praise his holy
00:39:07.441 --> 00:39:08.275
I'll be able to praise his holy name.
00:39:08.275 --> 00:39:09.643
Name. god is good.
00:39:09.643 --> 00:39:11.211
God is good. god is good to me.
00:39:11.211 --> 00:39:12.579
God is good to me. and the last, and this is the
00:39:12.579 --> 00:39:15.783
And the last, and this is the most important.
00:39:15.783 --> 00:39:19.987
Most important. god is good at being god.
00:39:19.987 --> 00:39:21.955
God is good at being god. no human should carry the weight
00:39:21.955 --> 00:39:23.090
No human should carry the weight of being god.
00:39:23.090 --> 00:39:24.458
Of being god. no human should carry the weight
00:39:24.458 --> 00:39:29.062
No human should carry the weight of trying to figure things out.
00:39:29.062 --> 00:39:31.265
Of trying to figure things out. so many times in our time lysa
00:39:31.265 --> 00:39:35.903
So many times in our time lysa what is your opinion on this and
00:39:35.903 --> 00:39:36.637
What is your opinion on this and that, why does my opinion
00:39:36.637 --> 00:39:38.005
That, why does my opinion matter?
00:39:38.005 --> 00:39:39.973
Matter? why does my opinion matter?
00:39:39.973 --> 00:39:42.142
Why does my opinion matter? god already said the truth and
00:39:42.142 --> 00:39:44.044
God already said the truth and that's where we need to go.
00:39:44.044 --> 00:39:44.812
That's where we need to go. god is good at being god.
00:39:44.812 --> 00:39:46.413
God is good at being god. - i love that.
00:39:46.413 --> 00:39:47.614
- i love that. thinking of people watching us
00:39:47.614 --> 00:39:55.489
Thinking of people watching us on the other side of the screen.
00:39:55.489 --> 00:39:56.657
On the other side of the screen. i know they say your whole life
00:39:56.657 --> 00:39:57.991
I know they say your whole life to get there.
00:39:57.991 --> 00:39:59.626
To get there. for a long time i didn't believe
00:39:59.626 --> 00:40:02.095
For a long time i didn't believe that god was good.
00:40:02.095 --> 00:40:05.365
That god was good. how could a good god let so many
00:40:05.365 --> 00:40:06.767
How could a good god let so many bad things happen?
00:40:06.767 --> 00:40:07.634
Bad things happen? i didn't believe god was good to
00:40:07.634 --> 00:40:09.303
I didn't believe god was good to me.
00:40:09.303 --> 00:40:11.472
Me. i thought 12 years of abuse,
00:40:11.472 --> 00:40:13.240
I thought 12 years of abuse, even if god's good to everyone
00:40:13.240 --> 00:40:14.741
Even if god's good to everyone else, he's not to me.
00:40:14.741 --> 00:40:16.677
Else, he's not to me. if you're watching this, that's
00:40:16.677 --> 00:40:18.278
If you're watching this, that's okay for you lysa.
00:40:18.278 --> 00:40:20.147
Okay for you lysa. that's okay for you, laurie.
00:40:20.147 --> 00:40:21.949
That's okay for you, laurie. but god's not good to me.
00:40:21.949 --> 00:40:23.484
But god's not good to me. god is good at being god.
00:40:23.484 --> 00:40:25.219
God is good at being god. if god was running the planet
00:40:25.219 --> 00:40:26.620
If god was running the planet things would go differently.
00:40:26.620 --> 00:40:28.922
Things would go differently. i'm here to tell you, the devil
00:40:28.922 --> 00:40:30.491
I'm here to tell you, the devil is a liar.
00:40:30.491 --> 00:40:31.859
Is a liar. god is trust worthy.
00:40:31.859 --> 00:40:36.330
God is trust worthy. god is light and in him is no
00:40:36.330 --> 00:40:39.600
God is light and in him is no darkness, a phrase to say to
00:40:39.600 --> 00:40:40.801
Darkness, a phrase to say to you.
00:40:40.801 --> 00:40:43.103
You. many years to get to that truth.
00:40:43.103 --> 00:40:45.072
Many years to get to that truth. people hurt you.
00:40:45.072 --> 00:40:47.808
People hurt you. life is full of broken humanity.
00:40:47.808 --> 00:40:49.142
Life is full of broken humanity. the world is fallen and broken.
00:40:49.142 --> 00:40:50.277
The world is fallen and broken. you need to know you can trust
00:40:50.277 --> 00:40:51.144
You need to know you can trust god.
00:40:51.144 --> 00:40:53.046
God. god is good.
00:40:53.046 --> 00:40:55.415
God is good. god does good and god is working
00:40:55.415 --> 00:40:56.149
God does good and god is working all things together for your
00:40:56.149 --> 00:40:57.317
All things together for your good.
00:40:57.317 --> 00:40:59.820
Good. he has no dark side.
00:40:59.820 --> 00:41:00.921
He has no dark side. he's trust worthy and worthy of
00:41:00.921 --> 00:41:01.755
He's trust worthy and worthy of your trust.
00:41:01.755 --> 00:41:03.924
Your trust. i don't know what you're
00:41:03.924 --> 00:41:04.491
I don't know what you're confronting in your
00:41:04.491 --> 00:41:05.859
Confronting in your circumstances right now.
00:41:05.859 --> 00:41:07.227
Circumstances right now. someone has let you down and
00:41:07.227 --> 00:41:12.633
Someone has let you down and walked out on you and someone
00:41:12.633 --> 00:41:13.667
Walked out on you and someone betrayed you and violated you.
00:41:13.667 --> 00:41:15.969
Betrayed you and violated you. god's not that someone.
00:41:15.969 --> 00:41:17.538
God's not that someone. you need to take the precious
00:41:17.538 --> 00:41:19.273
You need to take the precious off your husband or wife or kids
00:41:19.273 --> 00:41:21.008
Off your husband or wife or kids to be jesus to you.
00:41:21.008 --> 00:41:22.376
To be jesus to you. only jesus can be jesus.
00:41:22.376 --> 00:41:24.011
Only jesus can be jesus. you can trust him with your
00:41:24.011 --> 00:41:26.113
You can trust him with your broken places.
00:41:26.113 --> 00:41:26.880
Broken places. you can trust him with your
00:41:26.880 --> 00:41:29.583
You can trust him with your hurt.
00:41:29.583 --> 00:41:30.517
Hurt. jesus will heal you everywhere
00:41:30.517 --> 00:41:31.552
Jesus will heal you everywhere you hurt.
00:41:31.552 --> 00:41:33.020
You hurt. i think that's the power of the
00:41:33.020 --> 00:41:35.622
I think that's the power of the message of this book.
00:41:35.622 --> 00:41:36.623
Message of this book. people might have hurt you or
00:41:36.623 --> 00:41:39.893
People might have hurt you or rejected you.
00:41:39.893 --> 00:41:41.261
Rejected you. jesus will never reject you.
00:41:41.261 --> 00:41:45.265
Jesus will never reject you. why don't you jump on right now.
00:41:45.265 --> 00:41:47.000
Why don't you jump on right now. ...
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:49.002

I know this book is going to give you hope and answers and
00:41:51.905 --> 00:41:53.907
Give you hope and answers and help to heal the root of
00:41:53.907 --> 00:41:55.976
Help to heal the root of rejection.
00:41:55.976 --> 00:41:57.611
Rejection. get your confidence and strength
00:41:57.611 --> 00:42:00.647
Get your confidence and strength from jesus.
00:42:00.647 --> 00:42:04.718
From jesus. we love it.
00:42:04.718 --> 00:42:08.555
We love it. - well, you know, so many times
00:42:08.555 --> 00:42:10.724
- well, you know, so many times though, rejection of what we
00:42:10.724 --> 00:42:13.393
Though, rejection of what we either perceive or straight out,
00:42:13.393 --> 00:42:15.996
Either perceive or straight out, flat out rejection by people is
00:42:15.996 --> 00:42:18.865
Flat out rejection by people is god's way of protecting us.
00:42:18.865 --> 00:42:20.467
God's way of protecting us. he says that he'll take
00:42:20.467 --> 00:42:21.602
He says that he'll take everything that's bad in our
00:42:21.602 --> 00:42:23.770
Everything that's bad in our lives and turn it for our good.
00:42:23.770 --> 00:42:25.672
Lives and turn it for our good. how does that happen for us?
00:42:25.672 --> 00:42:27.474
How does that happen for us? - it's interesting you bring
00:42:27.474 --> 00:42:31.545
- it's interesting you bring that up, i think sometimes when
00:42:31.545 --> 00:42:32.713
That up, i think sometimes when we experience rejection today,
00:42:32.713 --> 00:42:35.382
We experience rejection today, ten years from now, we look back
00:42:35.382 --> 00:42:36.049
Ten years from now, we look back and see god's greatest
00:42:36.049 --> 00:42:36.483
And see god's greatest protection.
00:42:36.483 --> 00:42:41.888
Protection. praise the lord.
00:42:41.888 --> 00:42:43.890
Praise the lord. thank god i didn't marry him.
00:42:43.890 --> 00:42:46.026
Thank god i didn't marry him. - he came back a few months
00:42:46.026 --> 00:42:47.594
- he came back a few months later and i was like dude you
00:42:47.594 --> 00:42:49.329
Later and i was like dude you told me who you were and i
00:42:49.329 --> 00:42:51.632
Told me who you were and i believe you the first time.
00:42:51.632 --> 00:42:54.901
Believe you the first time. i didn't marry him.
00:42:54.901 --> 00:42:57.871
I didn't marry him. when i was writing uninvited, i
00:42:57.871 --> 00:42:59.806
When i was writing uninvited, i wrote it because i really,
00:42:59.806 --> 00:43:01.942
Wrote it because i really, really was so thankful that god
00:43:01.942 --> 00:43:04.311
Really was so thankful that god had healed me from so much
00:43:04.311 --> 00:43:06.880
Had healed me from so much rejection and so when i turned
00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:09.716
Rejection and so when i turned in the manuscript i was like wow
00:43:09.716 --> 00:43:11.284
In the manuscript i was like wow god, thank you, thank you, thank
00:43:11.284 --> 00:43:13.220
God, thank you, thank you, thank you for giving me this
00:43:13.220 --> 00:43:14.287
You for giving me this perspective on the other side of
00:43:14.287 --> 00:43:16.156
Perspective on the other side of so much hurt.
00:43:16.156 --> 00:43:18.291
So much hurt. i really thought, i'm good.
00:43:18.291 --> 00:43:26.133
I really thought, i'm good. i'm really, really good.
00:43:26.133 --> 00:43:29.603
I'm really, really good. and then when the edit came
00:43:29.603 --> 00:43:36.877
And then when the edit came back.
00:43:36.877 --> 00:43:39.212
Back. usually 250 edits and this came
00:43:39.212 --> 00:43:41.248
Usually 250 edits and this came back with three thousand and
00:43:41.248 --> 00:43:42.516
Back with three thousand and then deep rejections happened in
00:43:42.516 --> 00:43:45.018
Then deep rejections happened in my life and i curled up with the
00:43:45.018 --> 00:43:48.655
My life and i curled up with the pages of my book god gave me
00:43:48.655 --> 00:43:51.324
Pages of my book god gave me last year having no idea how
00:43:51.324 --> 00:43:52.292
Last year having no idea how much i would desperately need it
00:43:52.292 --> 00:43:53.660
Much i would desperately need it this year.
00:43:53.660 --> 00:43:57.197
This year. so i say that because rejection
00:43:57.197 --> 00:43:59.266
So i say that because rejection is something that's so sneaky.
00:43:59.266 --> 00:44:01.034
Is something that's so sneaky. we can think we have it all
00:44:01.034 --> 00:44:05.839
We can think we have it all handled today.
00:44:05.839 --> 00:44:07.641
Handled today. but tomorrow, we do life with
00:44:07.641 --> 00:44:08.875
But tomorrow, we do life with people and people have broken
00:44:08.875 --> 00:44:11.311
People and people have broken places.
00:44:11.311 --> 00:44:12.612
Places. and unresolved places in their
00:44:12.612 --> 00:44:14.047
And unresolved places in their hearts.
00:44:14.047 --> 00:44:17.350
Hearts. and i just think if you aren't
00:44:17.350 --> 00:44:18.752
And i just think if you aren't currently going through a
00:44:18.752 --> 00:44:20.654
Currently going through a rejection today i'm not speaking
00:44:20.654 --> 00:44:22.989
Rejection today i'm not speaking rejection into your life but let
00:44:22.989 --> 00:44:27.861
Rejection into your life but let god prepare you now so you can
00:44:27.861 --> 00:44:29.830
God prepare you now so you can weather the storms of some of
00:44:29.830 --> 00:44:30.564
Weather the storms of some of the hardships that will be
00:44:30.564 --> 00:44:31.732
The hardships that will be coming.
00:44:31.732 --> 00:44:32.733
Coming. if it's not you, it's one of
00:44:32.733 --> 00:44:34.835
If it's not you, it's one of your kids.
00:44:34.835 --> 00:44:37.404
Your kids. in reading, getting god's word
00:44:37.404 --> 00:44:41.675
In reading, getting god's word and his truth and good solid
00:44:41.675 --> 00:44:43.777
And his truth and good solid advice for handling rejection,
00:44:43.777 --> 00:44:45.946
Advice for handling rejection, will give good advice to your
00:44:45.946 --> 00:44:47.114
Will give good advice to your kids who are hurting and friends
00:44:47.114 --> 00:44:48.582
Kids who are hurting and friends who are hurting.
00:44:48.582 --> 00:44:50.250
Who are hurting. so many times we don't know what
00:44:50.250 --> 00:44:51.585
So many times we don't know what to say.
00:44:51.585 --> 00:44:52.886
To say. this is three hundred pages of
00:44:52.886 --> 00:44:54.287
This is three hundred pages of what to say.
00:44:54.287 --> 00:44:57.591
What to say. the more we can be empathetic to
00:44:57.591 --> 00:44:58.792
The more we can be empathetic to one another and remind each
00:44:58.792 --> 00:45:01.128
One another and remind each other of the truth the more we
00:45:01.128 --> 00:45:02.829
Other of the truth the more we can stop listening to the lie.
00:45:02.829 --> 00:45:06.166
Can stop listening to the lie. - i think the greater rejection
00:45:06.166 --> 00:45:07.934
- i think the greater rejection often is because your enemy
00:45:07.934 --> 00:45:09.436
Often is because your enemy knows what's coming.
00:45:09.436 --> 00:45:11.004
Knows what's coming. and the fact is, there's a great
00:45:11.004 --> 00:45:15.308
And the fact is, there's a great destiny.
00:45:15.308 --> 00:45:24.618
Destiny. any of us that there is this
00:45:24.618 --> 00:45:27.888
Any of us that there is this cycle and enemies come at you.
00:45:27.888 --> 00:45:28.688
Cycle and enemies come at you. david rejected by father and so
00:45:28.688 --> 00:45:30.791
David rejected by father and so many.
00:45:30.791 --> 00:45:33.760
Many. joseph rejected by his brothers
00:45:33.760 --> 00:45:36.096
Joseph rejected by his brothers and got thrown into a pit but
00:45:36.096 --> 00:45:37.130
And got thrown into a pit but rejection set him up for his
00:45:37.130 --> 00:45:38.398
Rejection set him up for his destiny.
00:45:38.398 --> 00:45:39.966
Destiny. when you learn in those places
00:45:39.966 --> 00:45:41.468
When you learn in those places to go to god is never not
00:45:41.468 --> 00:45:42.469
To go to god is never not painful.
00:45:42.469 --> 00:45:45.005
Painful. i think that's the whole thing.
00:45:45.005 --> 00:45:45.739
I think that's the whole thing. sometimes we think i'll get
00:45:45.739 --> 00:45:47.340
Sometimes we think i'll get over.
00:45:47.340 --> 00:45:49.910
Over. the danger is we'll build walls
00:45:49.910 --> 00:45:52.012
The danger is we'll build walls to protect ourselves to become a
00:45:52.012 --> 00:45:54.147
To protect ourselves to become a prison and lock people out.
00:45:54.147 --> 00:45:57.984
Prison and lock people out. i think some of you might have
00:45:57.984 --> 00:45:59.619
I think some of you might have even been vulnerability.
00:45:59.619 --> 00:46:02.222
Even been vulnerability. i didn't even know a year later
00:46:02.222 --> 00:46:03.290
I didn't even know a year later i would need the very words
00:46:03.290 --> 00:46:05.058
I would need the very words myself.
00:46:05.058 --> 00:46:07.160
Myself. the truth is, sometimes you feel
00:46:07.160 --> 00:46:10.130
The truth is, sometimes you feel vulnerable and betrayed.
00:46:10.130 --> 00:46:12.699
Vulnerable and betrayed. jesus you wonder how he must
00:46:12.699 --> 00:46:14.367
Jesus you wonder how he must have felt when judas walked with
00:46:14.367 --> 00:46:15.902
Have felt when judas walked with him and rejected him for 30
00:46:15.902 --> 00:46:17.504
Him and rejected him for 30 pieces of silver.
00:46:17.504 --> 00:46:19.306
Pieces of silver. sometimes i was thinking as lysa
00:46:19.306 --> 00:46:20.440
Sometimes i was thinking as lysa was talking.
00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:23.109
Was talking. someone on the other side of the
00:46:23.109 --> 00:46:25.312
Someone on the other side of the screen and you feel equivalent
00:46:25.312 --> 00:46:26.813
Screen and you feel equivalent of 30 pieces of silver, someone
00:46:26.813 --> 00:46:28.215
Of 30 pieces of silver, someone just sold you out.
00:46:28.215 --> 00:46:31.384
Just sold you out. you feel you are just forsaken.
00:46:31.384 --> 00:46:32.519
You feel you are just forsaken. that there's no future or hope.
00:46:32.519 --> 00:46:34.154
That there's no future or hope. i want you to know that jesus is
00:46:34.154 --> 00:46:36.223
I want you to know that jesus is right there with you.
00:46:36.223 --> 00:46:39.392
Right there with you. what the enemy meant for evil
00:46:39.392 --> 00:46:41.895
What the enemy meant for evil you'll stand like joseph who
00:46:41.895 --> 00:46:43.630
You'll stand like joseph who looked at his brothers and there
00:46:43.630 --> 00:46:45.565
Looked at his brothers and there was no anger in him.
00:46:45.565 --> 00:46:47.734
Was no anger in him. you meant it for evil but god
00:46:47.734 --> 00:46:49.436
You meant it for evil but god meant it for this purpose to
00:46:49.436 --> 00:46:50.804
Meant it for this purpose to save many people alive.
00:46:50.804 --> 00:46:53.773
Save many people alive. in the midst of your brokenness
00:46:53.773 --> 00:46:55.308
In the midst of your brokenness and pain and rejection, even
00:46:55.308 --> 00:46:56.476
And pain and rejection, even though people have left you and
00:46:56.476 --> 00:46:57.611
Though people have left you and rejected you.
00:46:57.611 --> 00:46:58.979
Rejected you. it's real.
00:46:58.979 --> 00:47:00.547
It's real. the feeling is real.
00:47:00.547 --> 00:47:02.916
The feeling is real. what is even more true is jesus
00:47:02.916 --> 00:47:03.750
What is even more true is jesus is with you at the bottom of the
00:47:03.750 --> 00:47:05.018
Is with you at the bottom of the pit.
00:47:05.018 --> 00:47:05.852
Pit. jesus will bring you out of that
00:47:05.852 --> 00:47:07.153
Jesus will bring you out of that pit.
00:47:07.153 --> 00:47:08.989
Pit. jesus will make you stand up in
00:47:08.989 --> 00:47:10.824
Jesus will make you stand up in the place he prepared for you.
00:47:10.824 --> 00:47:12.425
The place he prepared for you. and jesus will give you the
00:47:12.425 --> 00:47:14.561
And jesus will give you the grace to be able to turn around
00:47:14.561 --> 00:47:16.529
Grace to be able to turn around and say, what the enemy meant
00:47:16.529 --> 00:47:18.231
And say, what the enemy meant for evil god meant for good.
00:47:18.231 --> 00:47:19.799
For evil god meant for good. god is working for you and
00:47:19.799 --> 00:47:21.001
God is working for you and everything will turn around and
00:47:21.001 --> 00:47:22.535
Everything will turn around and he'll have his way in your life
00:47:22.535 --> 00:47:23.904
He'll have his way in your life and you'll be the head and not
00:47:23.904 --> 00:47:25.238
And you'll be the head and not the tail.
00:47:25.238 --> 00:47:26.172
The tail. deliverance is coming in jesus'
00:47:26.172 --> 00:47:26.806
Deliverance is coming in jesus' name.

Statement at the book comes at that time very, very end.
00:48:14.754 --> 00:48:18.525
That time very, very end. rejection it may be a delay or
00:48:18.525 --> 00:48:19.359
Rejection it may be a delay or distraction or even devastation
00:48:19.359 --> 00:48:20.961
Distraction or even devastation for the future.
00:48:20.961 --> 00:48:22.162
For the future. but it's not your final
00:48:22.162 --> 00:48:25.465
But it's not your final destination.
00:48:25.465 --> 00:48:27.467
Destination. you are destined for love can
00:48:27.467 --> 00:48:30.937
You are destined for love can never be taken, shaken or
00:48:30.937 --> 00:48:31.871
Never be taken, shaken or tarnished or diminished and that
00:48:31.871 --> 00:48:33.440
Tarnished or diminished and that love is the love of christ.
00:48:33.440 --> 00:48:35.008
Love is the love of christ. the calling of god on your life.
00:48:35.008 --> 00:48:36.977
The calling of god on your life. the calling of god on your life
00:48:36.977 --> 00:48:39.579
The calling of god on your life is to make sure that you know,
00:48:39.579 --> 00:48:41.014
Is to make sure that you know, you have a story.
00:48:41.014 --> 00:48:44.317
You have a story. it's a glorious story.
00:48:44.317 --> 00:48:45.618
It's a glorious story. a story that you can tell for
00:48:45.618 --> 00:48:46.286
A story that you can tell for the glory of god.
00:48:46.286 --> 00:48:48.021
The glory of god. you have a story.

You have a story. we've got to make sure it's
00:48:49.055 --> 00:48:52.092
We've got to make sure it's god's word.
00:48:52.092 --> 00:48:53.126
God's word. not their words, his words, her
00:48:53.126 --> 00:48:55.028
Not their words, his words, her words.
00:48:55.028 --> 00:48:56.863
Words. it's god's word that becomes the
00:48:56.863 --> 00:48:58.631
It's god's word that becomes the word of the story.
00:48:58.631 --> 00:49:00.900
Word of the story. you must tell.
00:49:00.900 --> 00:49:04.037
You must tell. - you know, i keep thinking,
00:49:04.037 --> 00:49:07.340
- you know, i keep thinking, there's so many people, the
00:49:07.340 --> 00:49:08.908
There's so many people, the enemy comes out of rejection and
00:49:08.908 --> 00:49:10.410
Enemy comes out of rejection and always about our destiny.
00:49:10.410 --> 00:49:15.582
Always about our destiny. allow what you're saying there.
00:49:15.582 --> 00:49:16.983
Allow what you're saying there. i was just thinking the first
00:49:16.983 --> 00:49:20.153
I was just thinking the first time i spoke at the bible
00:49:20.153 --> 00:49:23.056
Time i spoke at the bible college in the chapel when i
00:49:23.056 --> 00:49:24.824
College in the chapel when i finished, the dean of the bible
00:49:24.824 --> 00:49:26.159
Finished, the dean of the bible school didn't like how i
00:49:26.159 --> 00:49:28.294
School didn't like how i communicated so he stood up and
00:49:28.294 --> 00:49:29.295
Communicated so he stood up and said in front of everyone,
00:49:29.295 --> 00:49:30.463
Said in front of everyone, christine...
00:49:30.463 --> 00:49:32.499
Christine... that was my name then.
00:49:32.499 --> 00:49:35.168
That was my name then. christine, after that kind of
00:49:35.168 --> 00:49:37.270
Christine, after that kind of speaking, you will never speak
00:49:37.270 --> 00:49:38.405
Speaking, you will never speak publicly again, no one would
00:49:38.405 --> 00:49:42.709
Publicly again, no one would ever invite you.
00:49:42.709 --> 00:49:43.343
Ever invite you. and that, imagine that
00:49:43.343 --> 00:49:43.710
And that, imagine that rejection.
00:49:43.710 --> 00:49:45.278
Rejection. ...
00:49:45.278 --> 00:49:46.046
... - i hope you're watching
00:49:46.046 --> 00:49:46.813
- i hope you're watching tonight too.
00:49:46.813 --> 00:49:48.181
Tonight too. - i just want to say this.
00:49:48.181 --> 00:49:51.251
- i just want to say this. i don't know if it's cool to say
00:49:51.251 --> 00:49:53.820
I don't know if it's cool to say it.
00:49:53.820 --> 00:49:57.991
It. he's in heaven and i'm still
00:49:57.991 --> 00:50:01.895
He's in heaven and i'm still here.
00:50:01.895 --> 00:50:03.863
Here. in all of that, took months to
00:50:03.863 --> 00:50:06.332
In all of that, took months to have courage to ever.
00:50:06.332 --> 00:50:07.667
Have courage to ever. how much it aligned with my
00:50:07.667 --> 00:50:08.868
How much it aligned with my destiny.
00:50:08.868 --> 00:50:10.003
Destiny. god gave me gift to preach and
00:50:10.003 --> 00:50:11.938
God gave me gift to preach and teach.
00:50:11.938 --> 00:50:14.340
Teach. but the rejection and public
00:50:14.340 --> 00:50:15.075
But the rejection and public humiliation, you're not good
00:50:15.075 --> 00:50:17.577
Humiliation, you're not good enough.
00:50:17.577 --> 00:50:19.546
Enough. all of us are called.
00:50:19.546 --> 00:50:21.247
All of us are called. that sort of paralysis.
00:50:21.247 --> 00:50:23.216
That sort of paralysis. i could look at everything in my
00:50:23.216 --> 00:50:26.953
I could look at everything in my life i'm doing today whether
00:50:26.953 --> 00:50:29.322
Life i'm doing today whether it's listening, that abuse all
00:50:29.322 --> 00:50:31.057
It's listening, that abuse all through my life, rejection of
00:50:31.057 --> 00:50:32.792
Through my life, rejection of who i am and my destiny.
00:50:32.792 --> 00:50:34.561
Who i am and my destiny. i'm saying this because i want
00:50:34.561 --> 00:50:36.663
I'm saying this because i want to give hope to people.
00:50:36.663 --> 00:50:38.264
To give hope to people. laurie, you and i have talked so
00:50:38.264 --> 00:50:42.068
Laurie, you and i have talked so much through our life.
00:50:42.068 --> 00:50:43.503
Much through our life. significant times where, you
00:50:43.503 --> 00:50:44.838
Significant times where, you know, you were just scorned or
00:50:44.838 --> 00:50:46.973
Know, you were just scorned or someone just kind of wrote you
00:50:46.973 --> 00:50:48.741
Someone just kind of wrote you off and rejected you, and here
00:50:48.741 --> 00:50:51.277
Off and rejected you, and here you are together with matt
00:50:51.277 --> 00:50:52.812
You are together with matt leading the largest christian
00:50:52.812 --> 00:50:54.781
Leading the largest christian television network in tens of
00:50:54.781 --> 00:50:55.815
Television network in tens of hundreds of millions of
00:50:55.815 --> 00:50:56.549
Hundreds of millions of households around the world
00:50:56.549 --> 00:50:58.017
Households around the world every day.
00:50:58.017 --> 00:50:59.486
Every day. because i think rejection is
00:50:59.486 --> 00:51:01.554
Because i think rejection is always assigned with destiny.
00:51:01.554 --> 00:51:04.357
Always assigned with destiny. every time the enemy comes to
00:51:04.357 --> 00:51:06.025
Every time the enemy comes to paralyze us through rejection is
00:51:06.025 --> 00:51:06.860
Paralyze us through rejection is because we have something great
00:51:06.860 --> 00:51:07.760
Because we have something great to do.
00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:09.829
To do. i think that's what you just
00:51:09.829 --> 00:51:10.897
I think that's what you just reiterate all the time.
00:51:10.897 --> 00:51:12.398
Reiterate all the time. that's what i love about the
00:51:12.398 --> 00:51:13.800
That's what i love about the book in particular.
00:51:13.800 --> 00:51:14.567
Book in particular. it always came back to me.
00:51:14.567 --> 00:51:17.504
It always came back to me. i pray.
00:51:17.504 --> 00:51:18.438
I pray. that's why i want people to get
00:51:18.438 --> 00:51:19.639
That's why i want people to get it.
00:51:19.639 --> 00:51:21.407
It. a lot of people write books and
00:51:21.407 --> 00:51:22.208
A lot of people write books and people are anointed to write
00:51:22.208 --> 00:51:23.710
People are anointed to write books.
00:51:23.710 --> 00:51:28.581
Books. you are since i met you, god's
00:51:28.581 --> 00:51:30.350
You are since i met you, god's got anointing on your life,
00:51:30.350 --> 00:51:31.317
Got anointing on your life, teaching this, showing people
00:51:31.317 --> 00:51:33.686
Teaching this, showing people the keys how to break out of
00:51:33.686 --> 00:51:34.320
The keys how to break out of their bondage into their
00:51:34.320 --> 00:51:38.892
Their bondage into their freedom.
00:51:38.892 --> 00:51:42.262
Freedom. that's what's in this book, love
00:51:42.262 --> 00:51:46.332
That's what's in this book, love for any amount that's how much
00:51:46.332 --> 00:51:47.867
For any amount that's how much we believe in this.
00:51:47.867 --> 00:51:55.808
We believe in this. get on the phone...
00:51:55.808 --> 00:51:58.411
Get on the phone... - what in your life may be is
00:51:58.411 --> 00:51:59.345
- what in your life may be is there a rejection moment that
00:51:59.345 --> 00:52:00.947
There a rejection moment that sticks out the to you you have
00:52:00.947 --> 00:52:01.848
Sticks out the to you you have to overcome?
00:52:01.848 --> 00:52:04.784
To overcome? - well i think probably one of
00:52:04.784 --> 00:52:06.252
- well i think probably one of my, maybe it does chalk up to
00:52:06.252 --> 00:52:07.654
My, maybe it does chalk up to rejection.
00:52:07.654 --> 00:52:08.955
Rejection. i was always told i didn't know
00:52:08.955 --> 00:52:11.691
I was always told i didn't know how to communicate.
00:52:11.691 --> 00:52:14.127
How to communicate. and my daddy, my daddy wouldn't
00:52:14.127 --> 00:52:15.662
And my daddy, my daddy wouldn't hurt my feelings or anything but
00:52:15.662 --> 00:52:18.831
Hurt my feelings or anything but it took me years to talk.
00:52:18.831 --> 00:52:20.900
It took me years to talk. and my brother older brother
00:52:20.900 --> 00:52:24.204
And my brother older brother talked for me until i was, my
00:52:24.204 --> 00:52:25.104
Talked for me until i was, my dad probably would say ten or
00:52:25.104 --> 00:52:26.739
Dad probably would say ten or 11.
00:52:26.739 --> 00:52:29.642
11. but i grew up not being able to,
00:52:29.642 --> 00:52:30.777
But i grew up not being able to, laurie doesn't know how to
00:52:30.777 --> 00:52:34.113
Laurie doesn't know how to communicate.
00:52:34.113 --> 00:52:36.249
Communicate. i kind of, i shouldn't say i
00:52:36.249 --> 00:52:40.053
I kind of, i shouldn't say i live under that but i'm very
00:52:40.053 --> 00:52:44.390
Live under that but i'm very well aware of my problem.
00:52:44.390 --> 00:52:45.592
Well aware of my problem. but, so, that is definitely
00:52:45.592 --> 00:52:47.360
But, so, that is definitely tough because i think the last
00:52:47.360 --> 00:52:49.062
Tough because i think the last person that should be sitting
00:52:49.062 --> 00:52:50.663
Person that should be sitting right here is me.
00:52:50.663 --> 00:52:52.398
Right here is me. - let me paint a different
00:52:52.398 --> 00:52:57.070
- let me paint a different picture for you.
00:52:57.070 --> 00:52:59.138
Picture for you. - the reality is god could have
00:52:59.138 --> 00:53:00.740
- the reality is god could have chosen anyone to put in that
00:53:00.740 --> 00:53:02.875
Chosen anyone to put in that seat and god chose you and you
00:53:02.875 --> 00:53:06.779
Seat and god chose you and you can look at it as rejection
00:53:06.779 --> 00:53:08.915
Can look at it as rejection that's a limitation in
00:53:08.915 --> 00:53:09.682
That's a limitation in perspective of your
00:53:09.682 --> 00:53:12.218
Perspective of your communication skills but i see
00:53:12.218 --> 00:53:14.320
Communication skills but i see it as a beautiful humility.
00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:16.055
It as a beautiful humility. pride leads to disgrace.
00:53:16.055 --> 00:53:18.625
Pride leads to disgrace. humility leads to wisdom.
00:53:18.625 --> 00:53:20.593
Humility leads to wisdom. and i would rather hear someone
00:53:20.593 --> 00:53:22.695
And i would rather hear someone who speaks in humility and great
00:53:22.695 --> 00:53:25.231
Who speaks in humility and great wisdom to share like you than
00:53:25.231 --> 00:53:29.602
Wisdom to share like you than most slick communicator in the
00:53:29.602 --> 00:53:30.169
Most slick communicator in the world without christ.
00:53:30.169 --> 00:53:31.170
World without christ. [applauding].
00:53:31.170 --> 00:53:35.241
[applauding]. - i love what you said.
00:53:35.241 --> 00:53:37.010
- i love what you said. the voices of condemnation,
00:53:37.010 --> 00:53:38.378
The voices of condemnation, shame and rejection can come at
00:53:38.378 --> 00:53:40.580
Shame and rejection can come at you, but they don't have to
00:53:40.580 --> 00:53:42.081
You, but they don't have to reside inside of you.
00:53:42.081 --> 00:53:43.182
Reside inside of you. that's what this book is going
00:53:43.182 --> 00:53:45.351
That's what this book is going to do for you.
00:53:45.351 --> 00:53:48.054
To do for you. it will help bring those hearts,
00:53:48.054 --> 00:53:49.422

But the prayers, i started to read them.
00:54:05.838 --> 00:54:07.440
Read them. and i thought, say the first
00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:10.877
And i thought, say the first prayer and all kind of based on
00:54:10.877 --> 00:54:12.545
Prayer and all kind of based on psalm 91 one of my favorite
00:54:12.545 --> 00:54:13.846
Psalm 91 one of my favorite passages of scripture.
00:54:13.846 --> 00:54:15.815
Passages of scripture. he who dwells in the secret
00:54:15.815 --> 00:54:17.884
He who dwells in the secret place of the most high shall
00:54:17.884 --> 00:54:19.619
Place of the most high shall abide in the shadow of the
00:54:19.619 --> 00:54:21.387
Abide in the shadow of the almighty.
00:54:21.387 --> 00:54:22.121
Almighty. i encourage you to memorize

91. i couldn't stop.
00:54:37.303 --> 00:54:43.309
I couldn't stop. i had to read and say a loud.
00:54:43.309 --> 00:54:45.645
I had to read and say a loud. i know you'll be so ministered
00:54:45.645 --> 00:54:46.379

Last couple of minutes. take your liberties.
00:54:52.985 --> 00:54:57.190
Take your liberties. minister to the people.
00:54:57.190 --> 00:54:58.191
Minister to the people. - lord jesus, thank you.
00:54:58.191 --> 00:55:00.159
- lord jesus, thank you. thank you that we have a love
00:55:00.159 --> 00:55:02.261
Thank you that we have a love that we never have to doubt.
00:55:02.261 --> 00:55:04.530
That we never have to doubt. we have a love that we never
00:55:04.530 --> 00:55:06.332
We have a love that we never have to wonder about.
00:55:06.332 --> 00:55:09.168
Have to wonder about. lord, thank you what you have
00:55:09.168 --> 00:55:12.972
Lord, thank you what you have shown us in do to the cross and
00:55:12.972 --> 00:55:15.108
Shown us in do to the cross and dying on the cross, i think so
00:55:15.108 --> 00:55:17.443
Dying on the cross, i think so many times about you sitting in
00:55:17.443 --> 00:55:20.046
Many times about you sitting in the garden of gethsemane.
00:55:20.046 --> 00:55:23.616
The garden of gethsemane. and in the shade and shadow of
00:55:23.616 --> 00:55:25.952
And in the shade and shadow of the olive tree and prayed this
00:55:25.952 --> 00:55:27.887
The olive tree and prayed this prayer, father, if it be
00:55:27.887 --> 00:55:28.688
Prayer, father, if it be possible, then let this cup pass
00:55:28.688 --> 00:55:31.157
Possible, then let this cup pass from me.
00:55:31.157 --> 00:55:32.658
From me. and you knew, god, with you all
00:55:32.658 --> 00:55:37.730
And you knew, god, with you all things are possible.
00:55:37.730 --> 00:55:39.132
Things are possible. and the struggle of sitting
00:55:39.132 --> 00:55:41.134
And the struggle of sitting there in that moment of
00:55:41.134 --> 00:55:42.502
There in that moment of desperation, not just because of
00:55:42.502 --> 00:55:43.403
Desperation, not just because of the physical pain of going to
00:55:43.403 --> 00:55:45.772
The physical pain of going to the cross.
00:55:45.772 --> 00:55:48.307
The cross. but because of the emotional and
00:55:48.307 --> 00:55:49.842
But because of the emotional and spiritual pain of taking on the
00:55:49.842 --> 00:55:52.412
