- Be beneficial. but i've been
- 00:01:11.928 --> 00:01:13.897
- Be beneficial. but i've been basically trying to get across
- 00:01:13.963 --> 00:01:16.032
- Basically trying to get across that emotions are not just
- 00:01:16.099 --> 00:01:17.800
- That emotions are not just something that automatically
- 00:01:17.867 --> 00:01:19.369
- Something that automatically happens and that we have
- 00:01:19.435 --> 00:01:20.937
- Happens and that we have no control over. you are
- 00:01:21.004 --> 00:01:23.239
- No control over. you are responsible for your emotions,
- 00:01:23.306 --> 00:01:25.975
- Responsible for your emotions, not circumstances, not what
- 00:01:26.042 --> 00:01:28.344
- Not circumstances, not what other people have done
- 00:01:28.411 --> 00:01:29.479
- Other people have done to you, you're the one who
- 00:01:29.546 --> 00:01:31.548
- Chooses. deuteronomy, chapter
- 00:01:31.614 --> 00:01:33.383
- Chooses. deuteronomy, chapter 30, verse 19 says, behold, i
- 00:01:33.449 --> 00:01:35.218
- 30, verse 19 says, behold, i call heaven and earth to record
- 00:01:35.285 --> 00:01:36.819
- Call heaven and earth to record against you this day, that
- 00:01:36.886 --> 00:01:38.321
- Against you this day, that i have set before you life and
- 00:01:38.388 --> 00:01:40.423
- I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing:
- 00:01:40.490 --> 00:01:42.358
- Death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that you
- 00:01:42.425 --> 00:01:44.127
- Therefore choose life, that you and your seed may live. god gave
- 00:01:44.194 --> 00:01:46.329
- And your seed may live. god gave you the choice. i believe it's
- 00:01:46.396 --> 00:01:48.364
- Accurate to say that god
- 00:01:48.431 --> 00:01:49.832
- Accurate to say that god has given us a choice. are
- 00:01:49.899 --> 00:01:51.201
- Has given us a choice. are you going to operate in joy
- 00:01:51.267 --> 00:01:52.902
- You going to operate in joy and victory? are you going to
- 00:01:52.969 --> 00:01:54.170
- And victory? are you going to walk in fear and defeat and
- 00:01:54.237 --> 00:01:56.539
- Walk in fear and defeat and depression? you can choose your
- 00:01:56.606 --> 00:01:58.741
- Depression? you can choose your emotions. and if that's not so,
- 00:01:58.808 --> 00:02:02.111
- Emotions. and if that's not so, then god would have been unjust
- 00:02:02.178 --> 00:02:03.947
- To command us to let not our
- 00:02:04.013 --> 00:02:06.282
- To command us to let not our heart be troubled the night
- 00:02:06.349 --> 00:02:07.884
- Heart be troubled the night before his crucifixion. he would
- 00:02:07.951 --> 00:02:09.819
- Before his crucifixion. he would have been unjust to say in john,
- 00:02:09.886 --> 00:02:11.588
- Have been unjust to say in john, chapter 16, verse 33, in the
- 00:02:11.654 --> 00:02:13.556
- Chapter 16, verse 33, in the world you shall have
- 00:02:13.623 --> 00:02:14.691
- World you shall have tribulation: but be of
- 00:02:14.757 --> 00:02:16.826
- Tribulation: but be of good cheer. it's obvious
- 00:02:16.893 --> 00:02:18.461
- In that one verse that
- 00:02:18.528 --> 00:02:19.729
- In that one verse that he's not saying, just be
- 00:02:19.796 --> 00:02:20.897
- He's not saying, just be of good cheer when everything's
- 00:02:20.964 --> 00:02:22.065
- Of good cheer when everything's going the way you want it.
- 00:02:22.131 --> 00:02:23.499
- Going the way you want it. be of good cheer regardless,
- 00:02:23.566 --> 00:02:25.435
- Be of good cheer regardless, and on and on. i've already
- 00:02:25.501 --> 00:02:26.502
- And on and on. i've already used a lot of those scriptures.
- 00:02:26.569 --> 00:02:28.204
- Used a lot of those scriptures. you have authority over your
- 00:02:28.271 --> 00:02:31.174
- You have authority over your emotions. your emotions will
- 00:02:31.241 --> 00:02:33.176
- Emotions. your emotions will follow what you focus your
- 00:02:33.243 --> 00:02:35.011
- Follow what you focus your attention upon. and i've
- 00:02:35.078 --> 00:02:37.447
- Attention upon. and i've already dealt with that.
- 00:02:37.513 --> 00:02:38.414
- Already dealt with that. let me give you two examples
- 00:02:38.481 --> 00:02:40.016
- Let me give you two examples here. in luke, chapter 7, is an
- 00:02:40.083 --> 00:02:42.352
- Here. in luke, chapter 7, is an instance where jesus came to the
- 00:02:42.418 --> 00:02:43.953
- Instance where jesus came to the city of nain. and as he entered
- 00:02:44.020 --> 00:02:46.089
- City of nain. and as he entered the city, there was a funeral
- 00:02:46.155 --> 00:02:47.390
- The city, there was a funeral procession. and did you know
- 00:02:47.457 --> 00:02:49.559
- Procession. and did you know that the jews of that day,
- 00:02:49.626 --> 00:02:52.161
- That the jews of that day, similar to the arabs of today,
- 00:02:52.228 --> 00:02:54.330
- Similar to the arabs of today, they still wail and travail. if
- 00:02:54.397 --> 00:02:56.432
- They still wail and travail. if you've ever seen any of those
- 00:02:56.499 --> 00:02:57.767
- You've ever seen any of those funerals where they're carrying
- 00:02:57.834 --> 00:02:59.602
- Funerals where they're carrying some palestinian to his grave,
- 00:02:59.669 --> 00:03:01.971
- Some palestinian to his grave, the women will be just
- 00:03:02.038 --> 00:03:03.172
- The women will be just screaming. matter of fact, they
- 00:03:03.239 --> 00:03:05.174
- Screaming. matter of fact, they actually used to hire people to
- 00:03:05.241 --> 00:03:07.910
- Actually used to hire people to come and... and cry and travail
- 00:03:07.977 --> 00:03:11.247
- Come and... and cry and travail to amplify the grief of people.
- 00:03:11.314 --> 00:03:13.316
- To amplify the grief of people. that was the culture of that
- 00:03:13.383 --> 00:03:14.717
- That was the culture of that day. so he came into the city,
- 00:03:14.784 --> 00:03:16.953
- Day. so he came into the city, and there was a funeral
- 00:03:17.020 --> 00:03:17.954
- And there was a funeral procession going, and the
- 00:03:18.021 --> 00:03:19.489
- Procession going, and the mother of the boy was
- 00:03:19.555 --> 00:03:20.923
- Mother of the boy was weeping and crying. and he
- 00:03:20.990 --> 00:03:23.259
- Weeping and crying. and he walked up to this woman
- 00:03:23.326 --> 00:03:25.094
- In luke, chapter 7, and in
- 00:03:25.161 --> 00:03:27.330
- In luke, chapter 7, and in verse 13, and when the lord saw
- 00:03:27.397 --> 00:03:29.299
- Verse 13, and when the lord saw her, he had compassion on her,
- 00:03:29.365 --> 00:03:31.134
- Her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, weep not. did
- 00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:33.603
- You know most people think,
- 00:03:33.670 --> 00:03:34.604
- You know most people think, that's not compassionate. here
- 00:03:34.671 --> 00:03:36.005
- That's not compassionate. here you are interfering with
- 00:03:36.072 --> 00:03:38.341
- You are interfering with someone's grief, and you're
- 00:03:38.408 --> 00:03:39.642
- Someone's grief, and you're telling them, weep not in the
- 00:03:39.709 --> 00:03:41.177
- Telling them, weep not in the midst of her only son dying?
- 00:03:41.244 --> 00:03:44.213
- Midst of her only son dying? there's people that criticize me
- 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:45.782
- There's people that criticize me because i've been saying that
- 00:03:45.848 --> 00:03:47.150
- Because i've been saying that you can control your emotions,
- 00:03:47.216 --> 00:03:48.851
- You can control your emotions, that you don't have to let your
- 00:03:48.918 --> 00:03:50.053
- That you don't have to let your emotions just totally dominate
- 00:03:50.119 --> 00:03:51.754
- Emotions just totally dominate you. and people come out and
- 00:03:51.821 --> 00:03:53.356
- You. and people come out and criticize me for that and think,
- 00:03:53.423 --> 00:03:54.824
- Criticize me for that and think, you aren't compassionate and
- 00:03:54.891 --> 00:03:55.992
- You aren't compassionate and you're condemning people. they
- 00:03:56.059 --> 00:03:57.460
- You're condemning people. they could have said the same thing
- 00:03:57.527 --> 00:03:58.461
- Could have said the same thing about jesus right here. but you
- 00:03:58.528 --> 00:04:00.697
- About jesus right here. but you know what? he needed somebody
- 00:04:00.763 --> 00:04:02.899
- Know what? he needed somebody that was involved in this thing
- 00:04:02.965 --> 00:04:04.400
- That was involved in this thing to take some step of faith. you
- 00:04:04.467 --> 00:04:07.570
- To take some step of faith. you know, i one time got kidnapped.
- 00:04:07.637 --> 00:04:11.174
- Know, i one time got kidnapped. i won't go into the whole story,
- 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:12.642
- I won't go into the whole story, but it was because there was a
- 00:04:12.709 --> 00:04:13.876
- But it was because there was a boy who died, who said that if
- 00:04:13.943 --> 00:04:15.745
- Boy who died, who said that if he did die, that i was going to
- 00:04:15.812 --> 00:04:17.480
- He did die, that i was going to raise him from the dead. and so
- 00:04:17.547 --> 00:04:19.749
- Raise him from the dead. and so there was like 3 or 400 people
- 00:04:19.816 --> 00:04:21.384
- There was like 3 or 400 people that were going to this funeral
- 00:04:21.451 --> 00:04:22.919
- That were going to this funeral to see this boy raised from the
- 00:04:22.985 --> 00:04:24.587
- To see this boy raised from the dead, and the family did not
- 00:04:24.654 --> 00:04:27.056
- Dead, and the family did not want me messing with their
- 00:04:27.123 --> 00:04:28.458
- Want me messing with their funeral, and they actually
- 00:04:28.524 --> 00:04:29.792
- Funeral, and they actually kidnapped me and kept me from
- 00:04:29.859 --> 00:04:32.028
- Kidnapped me and kept me from going to the funeral. i know
- 00:04:32.095 --> 00:04:34.764
- Going to the funeral. i know firsthand that you do not mess
- 00:04:34.831 --> 00:04:36.899
- Firsthand that you do not mess with people's grief. for jesus
- 00:04:36.966 --> 00:04:39.369
- With people's grief. for jesus to walk up to this woman and
- 00:04:39.435 --> 00:04:41.304
- To walk up to this woman and say, weep not. and here she
- 00:04:41.371 --> 00:04:44.340
- Say, weep not. and here she was... and it was the custom of
- 00:04:44.407 --> 00:04:45.675
- Was... and it was the custom of the day, that's how you showed
- 00:04:45.742 --> 00:04:47.076
- The day, that's how you showed your love and affection for
- 00:04:47.143 --> 00:04:48.511
- Your love and affection for a person who had died. i mean,
- 00:04:48.578 --> 00:04:50.513
- A person who had died. i mean, this was a terrible thing to
- 00:04:50.580 --> 00:04:51.948
- This was a terrible thing to say. most people again would
- 00:04:52.014 --> 00:04:53.282
- Say. most people again would condemn him. but he needed
- 00:04:53.349 --> 00:04:55.218
- Condemn him. but he needed somebody to exert some faith.
- 00:04:55.284 --> 00:04:58.521
- Somebody to exert some faith. in the 6th chapter of the book
- 00:04:58.588 --> 00:05:00.623
- In the 6th chapter of the book of mark, jesus could not, it
- 00:05:00.690 --> 00:05:02.925
- Of mark, jesus could not, it didn't say would not, but he
- 00:05:02.992 --> 00:05:04.193
- Didn't say would not, but he could not do many mighty
- 00:05:04.260 --> 00:05:06.462
- Could not do many mighty works because of their unbelief.
- 00:05:06.529 --> 00:05:08.731
- Works because of their unbelief. jesus had no limitations
- 00:05:08.798 --> 00:05:10.400
- Jesus had no limitations whatsoever, so it wasn't him
- 00:05:10.466 --> 00:05:13.403
- Whatsoever, so it wasn't him that was limited, it was other
- 00:05:13.469 --> 00:05:15.037
- That was limited, it was other people. other people have
- 00:05:15.104 --> 00:05:16.406
- People. other people have to cooperate for god's
- 00:05:16.472 --> 00:05:17.974
- To cooperate for god's power to flow. he does
- 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:19.142
- Power to flow. he does not flow sovereignly
- 00:05:19.208 --> 00:05:20.843
- Not flow sovereignly independent of people.
- 00:05:20.910 --> 00:05:22.812
- Ephesians 3:20, now unto him
- 00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:24.680
- Ephesians 3:20, now unto him who is able to do exceeding
- 00:05:24.747 --> 00:05:26.149
- Who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or
- 00:05:26.215 --> 00:05:27.884
- Abundantly above all we ask or think, according to the power
- 00:05:27.950 --> 00:05:30.386
- Think, according to the power that works in us. if there's no
- 00:05:30.453 --> 00:05:32.255
- Power working in us, you can
- 00:05:32.321 --> 00:05:33.890
- Power working in us, you can limit what god will do in your
- 00:05:33.956 --> 00:05:36.125
- Limit what god will do in your life. and so jesus had to have
- 00:05:36.192 --> 00:05:38.394
- Life. and so jesus had to have somebody in this funeral
- 00:05:38.461 --> 00:05:40.196
- Somebody in this funeral procession to exert some faith
- 00:05:40.263 --> 00:05:42.799
- Procession to exert some faith so that he could release his
- 00:05:42.865 --> 00:05:44.267
- So that he could release his supernatural power. he could not
- 00:05:44.333 --> 00:05:45.902
- Supernatural power. he could not do it independent of flowing
- 00:05:45.968 --> 00:05:48.137
- Do it independent of flowing through people. if it was just
- 00:05:48.204 --> 00:05:49.872
- Through people. if it was just up to god, there wouldn't be any
- 00:05:49.939 --> 00:05:51.140
- Up to god, there wouldn't be any sickness, there wouldn't be any
- 00:05:51.207 --> 00:05:52.175
- Sickness, there wouldn't be any grief, there wouldn't be any
- 00:05:52.241 --> 00:05:53.142
- Grief, there wouldn't be any sorrow, everything would be
- 00:05:53.209 --> 00:05:54.544
- Sorrow, everything would be perfect. but it's not that way,
- 00:05:54.610 --> 00:05:56.846
- Perfect. but it's not that way, because we have to cooperate and
- 00:05:56.913 --> 00:05:59.182
- Because we have to cooperate and believe in order to receive. if
- 00:05:59.248 --> 00:06:01.417
- Believe in order to receive. if we doubt, we do without. and so
- 00:06:01.484 --> 00:06:04.020
- We doubt, we do without. and so jesus walked up to the mother of
- 00:06:04.086 --> 00:06:05.755
- Jesus walked up to the mother of this child and said, weep not.
- 00:06:05.822 --> 00:06:08.090
- This child and said, weep not. and did you know that sh... what
- 00:06:08.157 --> 00:06:09.625
- And did you know that sh... what he said, somehow or another
- 00:06:09.692 --> 00:06:10.827
- He said, somehow or another there must have been enough
- 00:06:10.893 --> 00:06:11.828
- There must have been enough authority, love, compassion,
- 00:06:11.894 --> 00:06:14.897
- Authority, love, compassion, something in his voice that this
- 00:06:14.964 --> 00:06:17.400
- Something in his voice that this woman received what he said, or
- 00:06:17.467 --> 00:06:19.802
- Woman received what he said, or i can guarantee you there would
- 00:06:19.869 --> 00:06:21.003
- I can guarantee you there would have been people that would have
- 00:06:21.070 --> 00:06:22.038
- Have been people that would have come and pushed him away and
- 00:06:22.104 --> 00:06:23.940
- Come and pushed him away and have kept him from interfering
- 00:06:24.006 --> 00:06:25.341
- Have kept him from interfering with this wo... mother's grief.
- 00:06:25.408 --> 00:06:27.910
- But it says in the next verse,
- 00:06:27.977 --> 00:06:29.846
- But it says in the next verse, and he came and touched the
- 00:06:29.912 --> 00:06:31.214
- And he came and touched the bier, the casket, and he raised
- 00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:33.683
- Bier, the casket, and he raised this boy from the dead. now if
- 00:06:33.749 --> 00:06:35.284
- He just wanted her not to weep,
- 00:06:35.351 --> 00:06:37.453
- He just wanted her not to weep, and if people think that
- 00:06:37.520 --> 00:06:38.754
- And if people think that emotions are just a re...
- 00:06:38.821 --> 00:06:40.189
- Emotions are just a re... byproduct of what happens to us,
- 00:06:40.256 --> 00:06:42.158
- Byproduct of what happens to us, why didn't he just go raise the
- 00:06:42.225 --> 00:06:43.893
- Why didn't he just go raise the boy from the dead? wouldn't that
- 00:06:43.960 --> 00:06:45.228
- Boy from the dead? wouldn't that have stopped his mother from
- 00:06:45.294 --> 00:06:46.195
- Have stopped his mother from weeping? but see he came and
- 00:06:46.262 --> 00:06:49.131
- Weeping? but see he came and told her, weep not, first, and
- 00:06:49.198 --> 00:06:51.667
- Told her, weep not, first, and then he raised the boy from
- 00:06:51.734 --> 00:06:53.069
- Then he raised the boy from the dead. he used her act of
- 00:06:53.135 --> 00:06:55.438
- The dead. he used her act of faith, her resistance of just
- 00:06:55.505 --> 00:06:58.040
- Faith, her resistance of just these negative emotions.
- 00:06:58.107 --> 00:07:00.176
- It says in james 4:7,
- 00:07:00.243 --> 00:07:01.644
- It says in james 4:7, submit yourselves therefore
- 00:07:01.711 --> 00:07:03.079
- Submit yourselves therefore unto god. god had just
- 00:07:03.145 --> 00:07:04.380
- Spoken to her and said, weep
- 00:07:04.447 --> 00:07:05.481
- Spoken to her and said, weep not, so she submitted to that,
- 00:07:05.548 --> 00:07:07.517
- Not, so she submitted to that, and she resisted these negative
- 00:07:07.583 --> 00:07:10.286
- And she resisted these negative emotions of grief that she was
- 00:07:10.353 --> 00:07:12.054
- Emotions of grief that she was having, and because of that
- 00:07:12.121 --> 00:07:14.557
- Having, and because of that the devil fled from her.
- 00:07:14.624 --> 00:07:15.892
- That's what it goes on to
- 00:07:15.958 --> 00:07:16.626
- That's what it goes on to say in john... james 4:7, submit
- 00:07:16.692 --> 00:07:18.528
- Say in john... james 4:7, submit yourselves therefore unto
- 00:07:18.594 --> 00:07:19.729
- Yourselves therefore unto god. resist the devil, and he
- 00:07:19.795 --> 00:07:21.998
- God. resist the devil, and he will flee from you. so she
- 00:07:22.064 --> 00:07:23.699
- Submitted to god when he
- 00:07:23.766 --> 00:07:24.967
- Submitted to god when he told her not to weep, and
- 00:07:25.034 --> 00:07:26.636
- Told her not to weep, and she resisted those negative
- 00:07:26.702 --> 00:07:28.170
- She resisted those negative emotions, and the end result was
- 00:07:28.237 --> 00:07:30.206
- Emotions, and the end result was that her son was raised from the
- 00:07:30.273 --> 00:07:31.941
- That her son was raised from the dead. again, most people would
- 00:07:32.008 --> 00:07:34.076
- Dead. again, most people would not take this approach. they
- 00:07:34.143 --> 00:07:36.178
- Not take this approach. they would think, well if you just
- 00:07:36.245 --> 00:07:37.346
- Would think, well if you just raise the son from the dead,
- 00:07:37.413 --> 00:07:38.681
- Raise the son from the dead, that'll affect her emotions. no,
- 00:07:38.748 --> 00:07:40.616
- That'll affect her emotions. no, emotions aren't just a byproduct
- 00:07:40.683 --> 00:07:43.553
- Emotions aren't just a byproduct of what happens to you, they
- 00:07:43.619 --> 00:07:44.954
- Of what happens to you, they are a result of the way you're
- 00:07:45.021 --> 00:07:46.656
- Are a result of the way you're thinking, and you have to resist
- 00:07:46.722 --> 00:07:49.926
- Thinking, and you have to resist negative emotions. you have to
- 00:07:49.992 --> 00:07:51.594
- Negative emotions. you have to put everything into the context
- 00:07:51.661 --> 00:07:53.262
- Put everything into the context of god's word. here's another
- 00:07:53.329 --> 00:07:55.164
- Of god's word. here's another example over another family that
- 00:07:55.231 --> 00:07:58.134
- Example over another family that is grieving. and this is where
- 00:07:58.200 --> 00:07:59.635
- Is grieving. and this is where jairus came and asked jesus to
- 00:07:59.702 --> 00:08:01.404
- Jairus came and asked jesus to come heal his daughter. and she
- 00:08:01.470 --> 00:08:03.239
- Come heal his daughter. and she had already died. a messenger
- 00:08:03.306 --> 00:08:04.807
- Had already died. a messenger came as they were on his way
- 00:08:04.874 --> 00:08:07.443
- Came as they were on his way to his house and said, don't
- 00:08:07.510 --> 00:08:09.178
- To his house and said, don't trouble the master any longer,
- 00:08:09.245 --> 00:08:10.746
- Trouble the master any longer, the girl is dead, so let him go.
- 00:08:10.813 --> 00:08:13.015
- And jesus told jairus, said,
- 00:08:13.082 --> 00:08:15.351
- And jesus told jairus, said, fear not: believe only, and she
- 00:08:15.418 --> 00:08:17.153
- Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole, luke,
- 00:08:17.219 --> 00:08:19.155
- Shall be made whole, luke, chapter 8, and in verse 50. and
- 00:08:19.221 --> 00:08:22.124
- Chapter 8, and in verse 50. and when they came into the house,
- 00:08:22.191 --> 00:08:23.459
- When they came into the house, he suffered no man to go in but
- 00:08:23.526 --> 00:08:25.328
- He suffered no man to go in but peter, james, and john, and
- 00:08:25.394 --> 00:08:26.696
- Peter, james, and john, and the father and the mother of
- 00:08:26.762 --> 00:08:27.730
- The father and the mother of the maiden. and all wept
- 00:08:27.797 --> 00:08:29.966
- The maiden. and all wept and bewailed her: and...
- 00:08:30.032 --> 00:08:31.701
- And bewailed her: and... but he said, weep not;
- 00:08:31.767 --> 00:08:33.903
- But he said, weep not; for she is not dead,
- 00:08:33.970 --> 00:08:35.504
- For she is not dead, but sleeps. so here's people
- 00:08:35.571 --> 00:08:37.206
- Again weeping because a little
- 00:08:37.273 --> 00:08:39.008
- Again weeping because a little girl had died. and again, most
- 00:08:39.075 --> 00:08:42.278
- Girl had died. and again, most people would think, well of
- 00:08:42.345 --> 00:08:43.245
- People would think, well of course you would, that's tragic,
- 00:08:43.312 --> 00:08:44.914
- Course you would, that's tragic, that's terrible that a person
- 00:08:44.981 --> 00:08:46.282
- That's terrible that a person dies young like that. and
- 00:08:46.349 --> 00:08:48.150
- Dies young like that. and apparently she'd been sick for a
- 00:08:48.217 --> 00:08:49.518
- Apparently she'd been sick for a period of time, so she probably
- 00:08:49.585 --> 00:08:50.853
- Period of time, so she probably died with some pain and
- 00:08:50.920 --> 00:08:52.688
- Died with some pain and suffering to go along with it.
- 00:08:52.755 --> 00:08:54.457
- Suffering to go along with it. and they were weeping, and yet
- 00:08:54.523 --> 00:08:55.858
- And they were weeping, and yet jesus came in and told them to
- 00:08:55.925 --> 00:08:57.593
- Jesus came in and told them to quit weeping. he would be unjust
- 00:08:57.660 --> 00:09:00.363
- Quit weeping. he would be unjust to do that if you couldn't
- 00:09:00.429 --> 00:09:02.431
- To do that if you couldn't control your emotions. i am not
- 00:09:02.498 --> 00:09:06.736
- Control your emotions. i am not condemning you if you've had
- 00:09:06.802 --> 00:09:08.404
- Condemning you if you've had something bad happen and because
- 00:09:08.471 --> 00:09:10.406
- Something bad happen and because of it you've got negative
- 00:09:10.473 --> 00:09:11.474
- Of it you've got negative emotions. i'm not condemning
- 00:09:11.540 --> 00:09:12.875
- Emotions. i'm not condemning you, but i'm trying to enlighten
- 00:09:12.942 --> 00:09:14.977
- You, but i'm trying to enlighten you and encourage you that you
- 00:09:15.044 --> 00:09:17.246
- You and encourage you that you don't have to let those emotions
- 00:09:17.313 --> 00:09:19.015
- Don't have to let those emotions dominate you. for those of us
- 00:09:19.081 --> 00:09:21.117
- Dominate you. for those of us who have received jesus christ
- 00:09:21.183 --> 00:09:22.852
- Who have received jesus christ as our lord, god almighty lives
- 00:09:22.918 --> 00:09:25.554
- As our lord, god almighty lives on the inside of us. and
- 00:09:25.621 --> 00:09:28.024
- On the inside of us. and especially for those who have
- 00:09:28.090 --> 00:09:29.425
- Especially for those who have lost some loved one who is a
- 00:09:29.492 --> 00:09:31.560
- Lost some loved one who is a born-again believer, they aren't
- 00:09:31.627 --> 00:09:33.763
- Born-again believer, they aren't gone. they may not be where you
- 00:09:33.829 --> 00:09:35.431
- Gone. they may not be where you can touch them and talk to them,
- 00:09:35.498 --> 00:09:36.999
- Can touch them and talk to them, but they are in glory, they are
- 00:09:37.066 --> 00:09:39.101
- But they are in glory, they are happier than they've ever been,
- 00:09:39.168 --> 00:09:40.603
- Happier than they've ever been, and we will be reunited with
- 00:09:40.670 --> 00:09:42.672
- And we will be reunited with them. it says this over in 1
- 00:09:42.738 --> 00:09:44.907
- Them. it says this over in 1 thessalonians, chapter 4. paul
- 00:09:44.974 --> 00:09:46.742
- Thessalonians, chapter 4. paul was saying that we shouldn't
- 00:09:46.809 --> 00:09:47.977
- Was saying that we shouldn't grieve as others who have no
- 00:09:48.044 --> 00:09:49.645
- Grieve as others who have no hope, because we are going to be
- 00:09:49.712 --> 00:09:52.615
- Hope, because we are going to be reunited with them. let me just
- 00:09:52.682 --> 00:09:55.851
- Reunited with them. let me just turn over and read that.
- 00:09:55.918 --> 00:09:56.986
- Turn over and read that. 1 thessalonians, chapter 4.
- 00:09:57.053 --> 00:10:00.156
- 1 thessalonians, chapter 4. i won't be able to quote
- 00:10:00.222 --> 00:10:01.223
- I won't be able to quote the whole thing. and so
- 00:10:01.290 --> 00:10:03.693
- In 1 thessalonians, chapter 4...
- 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:06.829
- In 1 thessalonians, chapter 4... in verse 13, but i would not
- 00:10:06.896 --> 00:10:08.664
- In verse 13, but i would not have you be ignorant, brethren,
- 00:10:08.731 --> 00:10:10.599
- Have you be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are
- 00:10:10.666 --> 00:10:11.767
- Concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not,
- 00:10:11.834 --> 00:10:13.502
- Asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no
- 00:10:13.569 --> 00:10:15.037
- Even as others which have no hope. for if we believe that
- 00:10:15.104 --> 00:10:17.039
- Hope. for if we believe that jesus died and rose again, even
- 00:10:17.106 --> 00:10:19.075
- Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in
- 00:10:19.141 --> 00:10:21.177
- So them also which sleep in jesus will god bring with him.
- 00:10:21.243 --> 00:10:23.846
- Jesus will god bring with him. for this we say unto you by the
- 00:10:23.913 --> 00:10:25.314
- For this we say unto you by the word of the lord, that we which
- 00:10:25.381 --> 00:10:26.782
- Word of the lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the
- 00:10:26.849 --> 00:10:28.284
- Are alive and remain unto the coming of the lord shall not
- 00:10:28.350 --> 00:10:30.219
- Coming of the lord shall not prevent, that means precede,
- 00:10:30.286 --> 00:10:32.088
- Prevent, that means precede, them which are asleep. for the
- 00:10:32.154 --> 00:10:33.889
- Them which are asleep. for the lord himself shall descend from
- 00:10:33.956 --> 00:10:35.491
- Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the
- 00:10:35.558 --> 00:10:36.759
- Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, with the
- 00:10:36.826 --> 00:10:38.794
- Voice of the archangel, with the trump of god, and the dead in
- 00:10:38.861 --> 00:10:40.629
- Trump of god, and the dead in christ shall rise first: then we
- 00:10:40.696 --> 00:10:43.165
- Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall
- 00:10:43.232 --> 00:10:45.334
- Which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them
- 00:10:45.401 --> 00:10:46.869
- Be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the lord
- 00:10:46.936 --> 00:10:48.304
- In the clouds, to meet the lord in the air: so shall we ever be
- 00:10:48.370 --> 00:10:50.039
- In the air: so shall we ever be with the lord. wherefore comfort
- 00:10:50.106 --> 00:10:52.708
- With the lord. wherefore comfort one another with these words. if
- 00:10:52.775 --> 00:10:55.111
- We were to really believe what
- 00:10:55.177 --> 00:10:56.545
- We were to really believe what he's saying right here, this
- 00:10:56.612 --> 00:10:57.680
- He's saying right here, this would comfort us, even in the
- 00:10:57.747 --> 00:10:59.281
- Would comfort us, even in the midst of losing someone who knew
- 00:10:59.348 --> 00:11:01.917
- Midst of losing someone who knew the lord and they've just now
- 00:11:01.984 --> 00:11:03.986
- The lord and they've just now gone into the presence of the
- 00:11:04.053 --> 00:11:05.554
- Gone into the presence of the lord. we should not grieve as
- 00:11:05.621 --> 00:11:07.590
- Lord. we should not grieve as others who have no hope. you
- 00:11:07.656 --> 00:11:10.760
- Others who have no hope. you know, there's a scripture in
- 00:11:10.826 --> 00:11:11.794
- Know, there's a scripture in zephaniah. let me see if i can
- 00:11:11.861 --> 00:11:13.662
- Zephaniah. let me see if i can find this passage. i think
- 00:11:13.729 --> 00:11:15.030
- It's zephaniah, chapter 3, and
- 00:11:15.097 --> 00:11:18.434
- It's zephaniah, chapter 3, and verse 17. it says, zephaniah
- 00:11:18.501 --> 00:11:21.871
- Verse 17. it says, zephaniah 3:17, the lord thy god in the
- 00:11:21.937 --> 00:11:23.973
- 3:17, the lord thy god in the midst of thee is mighty; he
- 00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:25.708
- Midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over
- 00:11:25.775 --> 00:11:27.743
- Will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in
- 00:11:27.810 --> 00:11:30.112
- Thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over
- 00:11:30.179 --> 00:11:31.614
- His love, he will joy over thee with singing. and god
- 00:11:31.680 --> 00:11:33.616
- Is literally just rejoicing
- 00:11:33.682 --> 00:11:35.451
- Is literally just rejoicing over us. if you look these
- 00:11:35.518 --> 00:11:36.519
- Over us. if you look these words up, it means to dance,
- 00:11:36.585 --> 00:11:38.154
- Words up, it means to dance, and to twirl violently. man,
- 00:11:38.220 --> 00:11:41.290
- And to twirl violently. man, god is rejoicing over you. if
- 00:11:41.357 --> 00:11:43.225
- God is rejoicing over you. if you were to focus on that, if
- 00:11:43.292 --> 00:11:44.960
- You were to focus on that, if you were to be like paul said in
- 00:11:45.027 --> 00:11:47.096
- You were to be like paul said in 2 corinthians, chapter 4, and
- 00:11:47.163 --> 00:11:49.098
- 2 corinthians, chapter 4, and verse 18, where you look not at
- 00:11:49.165 --> 00:11:51.033
- Verse 18, where you look not at the things which are seen, not
- 00:11:51.100 --> 00:11:52.468
- The things which are seen, not just your problems, but if you
- 00:11:52.535 --> 00:11:54.236
- Just your problems, but if you look past that to the lord, god
- 00:11:54.303 --> 00:11:56.906
- Look past that to the lord, god is rejoicing over you, and faith
- 00:11:56.972 --> 00:11:59.441
- Is rejoicing over you, and faith is what pleases god. faith...
- 00:11:59.508 --> 00:12:02.344
- Is what pleases god. faith... man, he loves faith. and when
- 00:12:02.411 --> 00:12:03.913
- Man, he loves faith. and when a person is feeling all of
- 00:12:03.979 --> 00:12:05.948
- A person is feeling all of these negative things, and
- 00:12:06.015 --> 00:12:07.049
- These negative things, and yet you choose to do
- 00:12:07.116 --> 00:12:08.484
- Yet you choose to do what god's word says,
- 00:12:08.551 --> 00:12:09.618
- And you're going to rejoice in
- 00:12:09.685 --> 00:12:10.920
- And you're going to rejoice in the lord alway, you're going to
- 00:12:10.986 --> 00:12:12.488
- The lord alway, you're going to bless the lord at all times.
- 00:12:12.555 --> 00:12:14.123
- Bless the lord at all times. you're going to enter into his
- 00:12:14.190 --> 00:12:15.191
- You're going to enter into his courts with praise, and into
- 00:12:15.257 --> 00:12:16.492
- Courts with praise, and into his gates with thanksgiving,
- 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.060
- His gates with thanksgiving, and you're going to bless
- 00:12:18.127 --> 00:12:19.028
- And you're going to bless the lord. when you
- 00:12:19.094 --> 00:12:20.262
- Take a step of faith like
- 00:12:20.329 --> 00:12:21.564
- Take a step of faith like that, man, god loves it,
- 00:12:21.630 --> 00:12:23.332
- That, man, god loves it, and according to this verse,
- 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:24.633
- And according to this verse, he just twirls over you, he's
- 00:12:24.700 --> 00:12:26.268
- He just twirls over you, he's dancing, he's rejoicing. if you
- 00:12:26.335 --> 00:12:28.737
- Dancing, he's rejoicing. if you could focus on that instead of
- 00:12:28.804 --> 00:12:31.240
- Could focus on that instead of focusing on all the people that
- 00:12:31.307 --> 00:12:32.842
- Focusing on all the people that don't like you. man, you got no
- 00:12:32.908 --> 00:12:36.245
- Don't like you. man, you got no reason to gripe and complain.
- 00:12:36.312 --> 00:12:37.613
- I'm not... well let me rephrase
- 00:12:39.114 --> 00:12:40.416
- I'm not... well let me rephrase that. there may be reasons,
- 00:12:40.482 --> 00:12:42.818
- That. there may be reasons, because things happen to us, we
- 00:12:42.885 --> 00:12:44.420
- Because things happen to us, we live in a fallen world, but
- 00:12:44.486 --> 00:12:45.487
- Live in a fallen world, but there is not an excuse. do you
- 00:12:45.554 --> 00:12:47.990
- There is not an excuse. do you know over in deuteronomy,
- 00:12:48.057 --> 00:12:48.991
- Know over in deuteronomy, chapter 28, where it lists the
- 00:12:49.058 --> 00:12:50.526
- Chapter 28, where it lists the blessings and the cursings of
- 00:12:50.593 --> 00:12:51.827
- Blessings and the cursings of the law? in deuteronomy 28, it
- 00:12:51.894 --> 00:12:54.096
- The law? in deuteronomy 28, it says, because you did not
- 00:12:54.163 --> 00:12:56.465
- Says, because you did not rejoice because of the abundance
- 00:12:56.532 --> 00:12:59.001
- Rejoice because of the abundance of all things that i have given
- 00:12:59.068 --> 00:13:00.603
- Of all things that i have given you and served me, therefore you
- 00:13:00.669 --> 00:13:02.838
- You and served me, therefore you are going to serve him in the
- 00:13:02.905 --> 00:13:03.973
- Are going to serve him in the want of all things and in hurt
- 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:05.708
- Want of all things and in hurt and in pain. now we've been
- 00:13:05.774 --> 00:13:07.409
- And in pain. now we've been redeemed from the curse of
- 00:13:07.476 --> 00:13:08.777
- Redeemed from the curse of deuteronomy 28, and so i'm not
- 00:13:08.844 --> 00:13:10.946
- Deuteronomy 28, and so i'm not saying that god is the one who's
- 00:13:11.013 --> 00:13:12.181
- Saying that god is the one who's putting things on us. but
- 00:13:12.248 --> 00:13:13.249
- Putting things on us. but nonetheless, that showed under
- 00:13:13.315 --> 00:13:15.184
- Nonetheless, that showed under the old covenant where he was
- 00:13:15.251 --> 00:13:16.652
- The old covenant where he was judging people's sins and... and
- 00:13:16.719 --> 00:13:18.621
- Judging people's sins and... and having them reap the effect.
- 00:13:18.687 --> 00:13:19.922
- Having them reap the effect. now jesus has borne our sins
- 00:13:19.989 --> 00:13:21.957
- Now jesus has borne our sins so that we aren't going to reap
- 00:13:22.024 --> 00:13:22.992
- So that we aren't going to reap that. but it showed you that
- 00:13:23.058 --> 00:13:24.560
- That. but it showed you that he was not pleased that...
- 00:13:24.627 --> 00:13:25.828
- He was not pleased that... with the fact that they
- 00:13:25.895 --> 00:13:26.762
- With the fact that they didn't rejoice and praise
- 00:13:26.829 --> 00:13:28.931
- Didn't rejoice and praise god for the abundance of
- 00:13:28.998 --> 00:13:30.799
- God for the abundance of all of the things that god
- 00:13:30.866 --> 00:13:32.835
- All of the things that god had given them. you know,
- 00:13:32.902 --> 00:13:34.670
- Had given them. you know, in habakkuk, chapter 3...
- 00:13:34.737 --> 00:13:36.505
- Let me see if i can find
- 00:13:37.773 --> 00:13:38.707
- Let me see if i can find this passage. it's close
- 00:13:38.774 --> 00:13:39.975

- The fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the
- 00:13:46.382 --> 00:13:48.284
- Neither shall fruit be in the vine; the labour of the olives
- 00:13:48.350 --> 00:13:49.985
- Vine; the labour of the olives shall fail, and the fields shall
- 00:13:50.052 --> 00:13:51.553

- Yield no fruit; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and
- 00:13:53.789 --> 00:13:55.224
- Be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the
- 00:13:55.291 --> 00:13:56.625
- There shall be no herd in the stalls: yet shall i rejoice in
- 00:13:56.692 --> 00:13:59.461
- Stalls: yet shall i rejoice in the lord, i will joy in the god
- 00:13:59.528 --> 00:14:02.131
- The lord, i will joy in the god of my salvation. if you were to
- 00:14:02.197 --> 00:14:04.466

- 00:16:13.862 --> 00:16:15.330
- Of joy; at his right hand are pleasures for evermore. and
- 00:16:15.397 --> 00:16:17.166
- So if i'm really focused on
- 00:16:17.232 --> 00:16:18.600
- So if i'm really focused on what i have in christ, i'm going
- 00:16:18.667 --> 00:16:19.968
- What i have in christ, i'm going to have fulness of joy and
- 00:16:20.035 --> 00:16:22.204
- To have fulness of joy and pleasures for evermore. i'm
- 00:16:22.271 --> 00:16:24.106
- Pleasures for evermore. i'm going to rejoice in the lord
- 00:16:24.173 --> 00:16:25.641
- Going to rejoice in the lord regardless of what's going on.
- 00:16:25.707 --> 00:16:27.342
- And if you're born again, you
- 00:16:28.610 --> 00:16:30.145
- And if you're born again, you have all of this in the spirit.
- 00:16:30.212 --> 00:16:31.713
- Again, let me just say that i am
- 00:16:32.915 --> 00:16:34.516
- Again, let me just say that i am not minimizing the fact that
- 00:16:34.583 --> 00:16:37.019
- Not minimizing the fact that people suffer big time. we live
- 00:16:37.086 --> 00:16:39.688
- People suffer big time. we live in a fallen world, and there's
- 00:16:39.755 --> 00:16:41.223
- In a fallen world, and there's bad things happening to good
- 00:16:41.290 --> 00:16:43.058
- Bad things happening to good people. and i am not saying that
- 00:16:43.125 --> 00:16:45.561
- People. and i am not saying that there aren't problems out there.
- 00:16:45.627 --> 00:16:47.663
- There aren't problems out there. i'm not saying that our emotions
- 00:16:47.729 --> 00:16:49.798
- I'm not saying that our emotions just never feel anything and
- 00:16:49.865 --> 00:16:52.034
- Just never feel anything and that we live like we are
- 00:16:52.101 --> 00:16:53.735
- That we live like we are emotionless. that's not what
- 00:16:53.802 --> 00:16:55.204
- Emotionless. that's not what i'm talking about. i've got
- 00:16:55.270 --> 00:16:56.872
- I'm talking about. i've got emotions, but i bridle them.
- 00:16:56.939 --> 00:16:59.942
- Emotions, but i bridle them. i bring them under control.
- 00:17:00.008 --> 00:17:01.944
- I bring them under control. and when i feel the negative
- 00:17:02.010 --> 00:17:03.712
- And when i feel the negative emotions coming against me, that
- 00:17:03.779 --> 00:17:05.280
- Emotions coming against me, that is a warning to me, a... a... a
- 00:17:05.347 --> 00:17:07.950
- Is a warning to me, a... a... a red flag to me that i need to
- 00:17:08.016 --> 00:17:10.452
- Red flag to me that i need to put my mind on the lord.
- 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:12.721
- Put my mind on the lord. because the bible says
- 00:17:12.788 --> 00:17:14.022
- In hebrews, chapter 12, in
- 00:17:14.089 --> 00:17:16.191
- In hebrews, chapter 12, in verse 1, that we are supposed
- 00:17:16.258 --> 00:17:18.127
- Verse 1, that we are supposed to, run with patience the race
- 00:17:18.193 --> 00:17:20.429
- To, run with patience the race that is set before us. in verse
- 00:17:20.496 --> 00:17:21.697
- That is set before us. in verse 2, looking unto jesus the author
- 00:17:21.763 --> 00:17:24.299
- 2, looking unto jesus the author and the finisher of our faith;
- 00:17:24.366 --> 00:17:26.435
- And the finisher of our faith; consider him who endured such
- 00:17:26.502 --> 00:17:28.170
- Consider him who endured such contradiction of sinners against
- 00:17:28.237 --> 00:17:29.872
- Contradiction of sinners against himself, lest you be wearied and
- 00:17:29.938 --> 00:17:32.007
- Himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your mind. fainting in
- 00:17:32.074 --> 00:17:34.276
- Your mind is talking about
- 00:17:34.343 --> 00:17:35.577
- Your mind is talking about giving up, being discouraged,
- 00:17:35.644 --> 00:17:37.212
- Giving up, being discouraged, depressed, and it happens in
- 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:39.181
- Depressed, and it happens in your mind because you are
- 00:17:39.248 --> 00:17:41.150
- Your mind because you are focused on the wrong things.
- 00:17:41.216 --> 00:17:42.518
- Focused on the wrong things. your emotions follow your
- 00:17:42.584 --> 00:17:44.052
- Your emotions follow your thoughts. and it happens because
- 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:46.355
- Thoughts. and it happens because we aren't looking unto jesus,
- 00:17:46.421 --> 00:17:47.823
- We aren't looking unto jesus, the author and the finisher of
- 00:17:47.890 --> 00:17:49.024
- The author and the finisher of our faith. you know, stephen was
- 00:17:49.091 --> 00:17:51.160
- Our faith. you know, stephen was stoned to death in the 7th
- 00:17:51.226 --> 00:17:52.561
- Stoned to death in the 7th chapter of the book of acts. and
- 00:17:52.628 --> 00:17:54.963
- Chapter of the book of acts. and in the midst of him being stoned
- 00:17:55.030 --> 00:17:57.132

- 00:17:57.199 --> 00:17:58.867
- To death, it says that he saw the heavens open and jesus
- 00:17:58.934 --> 00:18:01.603
- The heavens open and jesus standing at the father's right
- 00:18:01.670 --> 00:18:03.872
- Standing at the father's right hand. did you know every
- 00:18:03.939 --> 00:18:05.974
- Hand. did you know every scripture in the new testament,
- 00:18:06.041 --> 00:18:07.543
- Scripture in the new testament, after the atonement of jesus was
- 00:18:07.609 --> 00:18:09.478
- After the atonement of jesus was completed, it now speaks about
- 00:18:09.545 --> 00:18:11.580
- Completed, it now speaks about him seated at the father's right
- 00:18:11.647 --> 00:18:13.749
- Him seated at the father's right hand. this is the only mention
- 00:18:13.815 --> 00:18:15.684
- Hand. this is the only mention of him standing at the father's
- 00:18:15.751 --> 00:18:17.886
- Of him standing at the father's right hand after his
- 00:18:17.953 --> 00:18:19.221
- Right hand after his resurrection. i personally
- 00:18:19.288 --> 00:18:21.223
- Resurrection. i personally believe that this was the very
- 00:18:21.290 --> 00:18:23.258
- Believe that this was the very first martyr in the christian
- 00:18:23.325 --> 00:18:25.194
- First martyr in the christian church, stephen, acts, chapter
- 00:18:25.260 --> 00:18:26.628
- Church, stephen, acts, chapter 7, and jesus actually was
- 00:18:26.695 --> 00:18:29.498
- 7, and jesus actually was honoring him, standing in honor
- 00:18:29.565 --> 00:18:32.901
- Honoring him, standing in honor of seeing the very first person
- 00:18:32.968 --> 00:18:34.770
- Of seeing the very first person give their life for the cause of
- 00:18:34.836 --> 00:18:38.140
- Give their life for the cause of christ. and he did it out of
- 00:18:38.207 --> 00:18:40.309
- Christ. and he did it out of honor, and he allowed the
- 00:18:40.375 --> 00:18:41.677
- Honor, and he allowed the heavens to be open, and stephen
- 00:18:41.743 --> 00:18:43.145
- Heavens to be open, and stephen saw it. and i pers... this... i
- 00:18:43.212 --> 00:18:45.080
- Saw it. and i pers... this... i can't prove this to you out of a
- 00:18:45.147 --> 00:18:46.315
- Can't prove this to you out of a scripture, but i can prove it to
- 00:18:46.381 --> 00:18:47.649
- Scripture, but i can prove it to you based on, when i'm looking
- 00:18:47.716 --> 00:18:49.384
- You based on, when i'm looking at jesus, it just seems like all
- 00:18:49.451 --> 00:18:51.153
- At jesus, it just seems like all of the pressures of this world
- 00:18:51.220 --> 00:18:52.921
- Of the pressures of this world are nothing, they're just like
- 00:18:52.988 --> 00:18:54.189
- Are nothing, they're just like water off a duck's back. i
- 00:18:54.256 --> 00:18:56.124
- Water off a duck's back. i believe that stephen, as he saw
- 00:18:56.191 --> 00:18:58.260
- Believe that stephen, as he saw jesus standing at the father's
- 00:18:58.327 --> 00:19:00.262
- Jesus standing at the father's right hand and honoring him, i
- 00:19:00.329 --> 00:19:02.965
- Right hand and honoring him, i believe it just diminished the
- 00:19:03.031 --> 00:19:05.601
- Believe it just diminished the pain that he was suffering
- 00:19:05.667 --> 00:19:06.835
- Pain that he was suffering through being stoned to death
- 00:19:06.902 --> 00:19:08.170
- Through being stoned to death so much so that he went out with
- 00:19:08.237 --> 00:19:09.838
- So much so that he went out with a shout. i really believe that.
- 00:19:09.905 --> 00:19:13.342
- A shout. i really believe that. and i... i've been through
- 00:19:13.408 --> 00:19:14.843
- And i... i've been through things. again, i haven't been
- 00:19:14.910 --> 00:19:15.877
- Things. again, i haven't been stoned and left for dead, but
- 00:19:15.944 --> 00:19:17.512
- Stoned and left for dead, but i've been... i've had terrible
- 00:19:17.579 --> 00:19:19.281
- I've been... i've had terrible things happen to me, and i've
- 00:19:19.348 --> 00:19:20.549
- Things happen to me, and i've gone through them just as if
- 00:19:20.616 --> 00:19:21.917
- Gone through them just as if there was nothing happening.
- 00:19:21.984 --> 00:19:24.019
- There was nothing happening. not because i didn't feel the
- 00:19:24.086 --> 00:19:25.420
- Not because i didn't feel the pressure, and not because i
- 00:19:25.487 --> 00:19:26.588
- Pressure, and not because i couldn't have given in to it,
- 00:19:26.655 --> 00:19:27.923
- Couldn't have given in to it, but because i just chose to keep
- 00:19:27.990 --> 00:19:29.758
- But because i just chose to keep my mind and my faith stayed upon
- 00:19:29.825 --> 00:19:32.194
- My mind and my faith stayed upon the lord, and i rose above it.

- Paul said the same thing, that
- 00:19:34.196 --> 00:19:35.731

- 00:19:35.797 --> 00:19:37.466
- His light affliction, which was but for a moment, works for him
- 00:19:37.532 --> 00:19:39.167
- But for a moment, works for him a far more exceeding and eternal
- 00:19:39.234 --> 00:19:41.336
- A far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while he looks
- 00:19:41.403 --> 00:19:42.604
- Weight of glory; while he looks not at the things which are
- 00:19:42.671 --> 00:19:43.605
- Not at the things which are seen, but at the things which
- 00:19:43.672 --> 00:19:44.873
- Seen, but at the things which are not seen. and on and
