  • There's no way for me to summarize everything i've said.
  • 00:01:03.186 --> 00:01:04.621
  • Summarize everything i've said. this is now our seventh program
  • 00:01:04.687 --> 00:01:06.422
  • On that. but basically, i've
  • 00:01:07.023 --> 00:01:08.491
  • On that. but basically, i've just been trying to say that god
  • 00:01:08.558 --> 00:01:10.426
  • Just been trying to say that god not only can help you control
  • 00:01:10.493 --> 00:01:13.296
  • Not only can help you control your emotions, he's giving
  • 00:01:13.363 --> 00:01:14.430
  • Your emotions, he's giving you a command to
  • 00:01:14.497 --> 00:01:16.132
  • You a command to control your emotions,
  • 00:01:16.199 --> 00:01:17.267

  • Situation, to bless the lord at all times, psalms 34:1,
  • 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.276
  • All times, psalms 34:1, philippians, chapter 4, i
  • 00:01:26.342 --> 00:01:27.610
  • Philippians, chapter 4, i believe it's verse 6 says, that
  • 00:01:27.677 --> 00:01:29.579
  • Believe it's verse 6 says, that with thanksgiving we are
  • 00:01:29.646 --> 00:01:31.247
  • With thanksgiving we are supposed to let our requests
  • 00:01:31.314 --> 00:01:32.549
  • Supposed to let our requests be made known unto god,
  • 00:01:32.615 --> 00:01:34.484
  • And on and on and on and on we
  • 00:01:34.551 --> 00:01:36.619
  • And on and on and on and on we can go with all the scriptures
  • 00:01:36.686 --> 00:01:38.021
  • Can go with all the scriptures we've been talking about. this
  • 00:01:38.087 --> 00:01:39.856
  • We've been talking about. this is not optional. if you are
  • 00:01:39.923 --> 00:01:41.858
  • Is not optional. if you are going to be a victorious
  • 00:01:41.925 --> 00:01:42.959
  • Going to be a victorious christian, you're going to have
  • 00:01:43.026 --> 00:01:43.893
  • Christian, you're going to have to grab hold of your emotions.
  • 00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:45.728
  • And i hate to make these kind of
  • 00:01:47.730 --> 00:01:49.132
  • And i hate to make these kind of comparisons, but i don't mean
  • 00:01:49.199 --> 00:01:52.335
  • Comparisons, but i don't mean anything bad by it. but did you
  • 00:01:52.402 --> 00:01:54.270
  • Anything bad by it. but did you know little kids, when something
  • 00:01:54.337 --> 00:01:56.539
  • Know little kids, when something doesn't go their way,
  • 00:01:56.606 --> 00:01:57.941
  • Doesn't go their way, they...they throw a fit and they
  • 00:01:58.007 --> 00:02:00.009
  • They...they throw a fit and they cry, and they just indulge their
  • 00:02:00.076 --> 00:02:02.378
  • Cry, and they just indulge their emotions. part of growing up is
  • 00:02:02.445 --> 00:02:05.481
  • Emotions. part of growing up is learning how to control your
  • 00:02:05.548 --> 00:02:07.750
  • Learning how to control your emotions, and we've got a lot of
  • 00:02:07.817 --> 00:02:10.386
  • Emotions, and we've got a lot of adults today that have never
  • 00:02:10.453 --> 00:02:12.222
  • Adults today that have never grown up. they are being led
  • 00:02:12.288 --> 00:02:14.691
  • Grown up. they are being led around by their emotions and
  • 00:02:14.757 --> 00:02:16.626
  • Around by their emotions and that is not correct. and i have
  • 00:02:16.693 --> 00:02:19.329
  • That is not correct. and i have given you so many testimonies.
  • 00:02:19.395 --> 00:02:21.130
  • Given you so many testimonies. this is an area that i have had
  • 00:02:21.197 --> 00:02:23.099
  • This is an area that i have had to exercise myself in. and i
  • 00:02:23.166 --> 00:02:26.903
  • To exercise myself in. and i hadn't...i'm not saying that i
  • 00:02:26.970 --> 00:02:28.605
  • Hadn't...i'm not saying that i had conquered it 100%, but i am
  • 00:02:28.671 --> 00:02:31.140
  • Had conquered it 100%, but i am a person that i can guarantee i
  • 00:02:31.207 --> 00:02:32.942
  • A person that i can guarantee i am not going to vent and give
  • 00:02:33.009 --> 00:02:34.911
  • Am not going to vent and give place to my negative emotions.
  • 00:02:34.978 --> 00:02:37.280
  • Place to my negative emotions. i'm not going to give place to
  • 00:02:37.347 --> 00:02:38.314
  • I'm not going to give place to hurt, bitterness, anger at
  • 00:02:38.381 --> 00:02:40.116
  • Hurt, bitterness, anger at people, things like that. i'm
  • 00:02:40.183 --> 00:02:42.085
  • People, things like that. i'm going to walk in love. you
  • 00:02:42.151 --> 00:02:43.620
  • Going to walk in love. you can't...love is a choice. jesus
  • 00:02:43.686 --> 00:02:46.856
  • Can't...love is a choice. jesus chose to love the very people
  • 00:02:46.923 --> 00:02:48.658
  • Chose to love the very people crucifying him. if...if emotions
  • 00:02:48.725 --> 00:02:51.561
  • Crucifying him. if...if emotions were just something that
  • 00:02:51.628 --> 00:02:52.528
  • Were just something that followed whatever happened, and
  • 00:02:52.595 --> 00:02:54.130
  • Followed whatever happened, and if something bad happened to
  • 00:02:54.197 --> 00:02:55.398
  • If something bad happened to you, you had to have a negative
  • 00:02:55.465 --> 00:02:57.166
  • You, you had to have a negative emotion, jesus would have never
  • 00:02:57.233 --> 00:02:59.135
  • Been able to say, father,
  • 00:02:59.702 --> 00:03:01.337
  • Been able to say, father, forgive them; for they know not
  • 00:03:01.404 --> 00:03:03.306
  • Forgive them; for they know not what they do. that was a choice.
  • 00:03:03.373 --> 00:03:05.808
  • Love is a choice. now, it can
  • 00:03:06.509 --> 00:03:09.779
  • Love is a choice. now, it can involve emotions, but it is at
  • 00:03:09.846 --> 00:03:12.949
  • Involve emotions, but it is at its core, a choice. and i tell
  • 00:03:13.016 --> 00:03:16.552
  • Its core, a choice. and i tell you, so many people are just
  • 00:03:16.619 --> 00:03:18.288
  • You, so many people are just letting their emotions rule and
  • 00:03:18.354 --> 00:03:20.356
  • Letting their emotions rule and dominate them instead of
  • 00:03:20.423 --> 00:03:21.758
  • Dominate them instead of choosing to do what
  • 00:03:21.824 --> 00:03:23.026
  • Choosing to do what god's word says. that's a
  • 00:03:23.092 --> 00:03:24.861
  • God's word says. that's a recipe for disaster. i was
  • 00:03:24.927 --> 00:03:26.963
  • Recipe for disaster. i was using these verses yesterday
  • 00:03:27.030 --> 00:03:28.431
  • Using these verses yesterday out of galatians, chapter
  • 00:03:28.498 --> 00:03:29.932
  • Out of galatians, chapter 5, verses 22 and 23,
  • 00:03:29.999 --> 00:03:31.534

  • Focus on this peace. this is one of the benefits of harnessing
  • 00:04:41.971 --> 00:04:44.841
  • Of the benefits of harnessing your emotions that i have used,
  • 00:04:44.907 --> 00:04:47.610
  • Your emotions that i have used, and this is one of the number
  • 00:04:47.677 --> 00:04:48.978
  • And this is one of the number one ways that i discern god's
  • 00:04:49.045 --> 00:04:51.381
  • One ways that i discern god's will for my life. you know,
  • 00:04:51.447 --> 00:04:53.750
  • Will for my life. you know, love...love, joy, peace, all
  • 00:04:53.816 --> 00:04:55.918
  • Love...love, joy, peace, all these nine things that are
  • 00:04:55.985 --> 00:04:57.053
  • These nine things that are listed as fruit of the spirit,
  • 00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:58.488
  • Listed as fruit of the spirit, they're there constantly. but
  • 00:04:58.554 --> 00:05:00.523
  • They're there constantly. but did you know that there is a
  • 00:05:00.590 --> 00:05:01.758
  • Did you know that there is a counterfeit for love? it's not a
  • 00:05:01.824 --> 00:05:06.028
  • Counterfeit for love? it's not a good counterfeit, but there are
  • 00:05:06.095 --> 00:05:07.530
  • Good counterfeit, but there are a lot of people that don't know
  • 00:05:07.597 --> 00:05:09.065
  • A lot of people that don't know the lord and they will just talk
  • 00:05:09.132 --> 00:05:11.367
  • The lord and they will just talk about how they love this. i...i
  • 00:05:11.434 --> 00:05:13.136
  • About how they love this. i...i saw a thing on one of the news
  • 00:05:13.202 --> 00:05:15.671
  • Saw a thing on one of the news feeds that i get, and i'm not
  • 00:05:15.738 --> 00:05:18.374
  • Feeds that i get, and i'm not going to mention these people's
  • 00:05:18.441 --> 00:05:19.475
  • Going to mention these people's names, i'd get it wrong. but
  • 00:05:19.542 --> 00:05:20.710
  • Names, i'd get it wrong. but anyway, it showed these people
  • 00:05:20.777 --> 00:05:22.211
  • Anyway, it showed these people who've been married five or six
  • 00:05:22.278 --> 00:05:23.746
  • Who've been married five or six times, and they now are on a new
  • 00:05:23.813 --> 00:05:25.982
  • Times, and they now are on a new relationship and talking about
  • 00:05:26.048 --> 00:05:27.617
  • Relationship and talking about how they love each other so
  • 00:05:27.683 --> 00:05:29.285
  • How they love each other so much. and i'm thinking, you
  • 00:05:29.352 --> 00:05:30.987
  • Much. and i'm thinking, you wouldn't know love if it was to
  • 00:05:31.053 --> 00:05:32.588
  • Wouldn't know love if it was to walk up and introduce itself to
  • 00:05:32.655 --> 00:05:34.490
  • Walk up and introduce itself to you. man, they...they are
  • 00:05:34.557 --> 00:05:36.359
  • You. man, they...they are operating in nus...nothing but
  • 00:05:36.426 --> 00:05:37.994
  • Operating in nus...nothing but lust, and they can't sustain it.
  • 00:05:38.060 --> 00:05:39.796
  • Lust, and they can't sustain it. that is not...there is such a
  • 00:05:39.862 --> 00:05:41.664
  • That is not...there is such a contrast between god's kind of
  • 00:05:41.731 --> 00:05:44.100
  • Contrast between god's kind of love, that says, father, forgive
  • 00:05:44.167 --> 00:05:46.502
  • Love, that says, father, forgive them; for they know not what
  • 00:05:46.569 --> 00:05:47.703
  • Them; for they know not what they do, to the very people who
  • 00:05:47.770 --> 00:05:49.005
  • They do, to the very people who were crucifying you, and the
  • 00:05:49.071 --> 00:05:50.573
  • Were crucifying you, and the worldly love, that it's all
  • 00:05:50.640 --> 00:05:52.074
  • Worldly love, that it's all just, you know, you scratch my
  • 00:05:52.141 --> 00:05:53.376
  • Just, you know, you scratch my back and i'll scratch yours.
  • 00:05:53.443 --> 00:05:55.645
  • Back and i'll scratch yours. it's all based on carnal things.
  • 00:05:55.711 --> 00:05:58.247
  • It's all based on carnal things. it's all based on looks. a lot
  • 00:05:58.314 --> 00:06:00.616
  • It's all based on looks. a lot of it is just nothing but lust.
  • 00:06:00.683 --> 00:06:02.552
  • Of it is just nothing but lust. so anyway, love, there is a
  • 00:06:02.618 --> 00:06:04.487
  • So anyway, love, there is a cheap imitation for love. and
  • 00:06:04.554 --> 00:06:06.789
  • Cheap imitation for love. and some people will talk about how
  • 00:06:06.856 --> 00:06:08.357
  • Some people will talk about how they just love this person, but
  • 00:06:08.424 --> 00:06:09.892
  • They just love this person, but they love them as long as
  • 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:11.127
  • They love them as long as they're doing whatever they want
  • 00:06:11.194 --> 00:06:12.895
  • They're doing whatever they want them to do. the moment they do
  • 00:06:12.962 --> 00:06:14.297
  • Them to do. the moment they do something wrong, they kick them
  • 00:06:14.363 --> 00:06:15.631
  • Something wrong, they kick them to the curb. and joy, there is a
  • 00:06:15.698 --> 00:06:19.535
  • To the curb. and joy, there is a counterfeit for that in the
  • 00:06:19.602 --> 00:06:21.270
  • Counterfeit for that in the world, too. there are people
  • 00:06:21.337 --> 00:06:22.605
  • World, too. there are people that will talk about that
  • 00:06:22.672 --> 00:06:23.473
  • That will talk about that they're just so happy. i read
  • 00:06:23.539 --> 00:06:25.475
  • They're just so happy. i read one thing again on another news
  • 00:06:25.541 --> 00:06:27.109
  • One thing again on another news feed. this person said that it's
  • 00:06:27.176 --> 00:06:28.511
  • Feed. this person said that it's the happiest they've ever been
  • 00:06:28.578 --> 00:06:29.779
  • The happiest they've ever been in their life. well, that's
  • 00:06:29.846 --> 00:06:31.013
  • In their life. well, that's relative. that's subjective.
  • 00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:32.615
  • Relative. that's subjective. maybe they've never been happy
  • 00:06:32.682 --> 00:06:33.950
  • Maybe they've never been happy before. and relative to previous
  • 00:06:34.016 --> 00:06:36.118
  • Before. and relative to previous things, they may be happy. but
  • 00:06:36.185 --> 00:06:38.154
  • Things, they may be happy. but there...you know, you can...you
  • 00:06:38.221 --> 00:06:40.323
  • There...you know, you can...you can counterfeit love, you can
  • 00:06:40.389 --> 00:06:43.059
  • Can counterfeit love, you can counterfeit joy. but to me,
  • 00:06:43.125 --> 00:06:46.128
  • Counterfeit joy. but to me, peace is something that the
  • 00:06:46.195 --> 00:06:49.365
  • Peace is something that the world just doesn't have. matter
  • 00:06:49.432 --> 00:06:51.601
  • World just doesn't have. matter of fact, the lord said,
  • 00:06:51.667 --> 00:06:52.702
  • There's scripture that
  • 00:06:52.768 --> 00:06:53.503
  • There's scripture that says, there is no peace,
  • 00:06:53.569 --> 00:06:55.471
  • Says, there is no peace, says my god, to the wicked.
  • 00:06:55.538 --> 00:06:57.940
  • To people that don't know
  • 00:06:58.007 --> 00:06:59.041
  • To people that don't know the lord, they can say that
  • 00:06:59.108 --> 00:07:00.977
  • The lord, they can say that they love each other. what they
  • 00:07:01.043 --> 00:07:02.178
  • They love each other. what they do, they have their emotions,
  • 00:07:02.245 --> 00:07:04.313
  • Do, they have their emotions, lust after somebody, and as long
  • 00:07:04.380 --> 00:07:06.282
  • Lust after somebody, and as long as things are going the way they
  • 00:07:06.349 --> 00:07:07.450
  • As things are going the way they want, well, then they have
  • 00:07:07.517 --> 00:07:08.551
  • Want, well, then they have feelings for them. they can say
  • 00:07:08.618 --> 00:07:10.786
  • Feelings for them. they can say that they have joy. but what it
  • 00:07:10.853 --> 00:07:12.588
  • That they have joy. but what it is, they're just in the absence
  • 00:07:12.655 --> 00:07:14.624
  • Is, they're just in the absence of problems at this moment, and
  • 00:07:14.690 --> 00:07:16.325
  • Of problems at this moment, and they got their mind off of
  • 00:07:16.392 --> 00:07:17.660
  • They got their mind off of everything else, and they're
  • 00:07:17.727 --> 00:07:18.561
  • Everything else, and they're just...they're just ecstatic.
  • 00:07:18.628 --> 00:07:20.730
  • Just...they're just ecstatic. but did you know, when it comes
  • 00:07:20.796 --> 00:07:21.797
  • But did you know, when it comes to peace, i...the world just
  • 00:07:21.864 --> 00:07:24.000
  • To peace, i...the world just doesn't have any peace. and to
  • 00:07:24.066 --> 00:07:27.003
  • Doesn't have any peace. and to me, this is the easiest way to
  • 00:07:27.069 --> 00:07:29.305
  • Me, this is the easiest way to discern when i am really walking
  • 00:07:29.372 --> 00:07:32.275
  • Discern when i am really walking in the spirit is when i have
  • 00:07:32.341 --> 00:07:34.644
  • In the spirit is when i have this supernatural god's kind of
  • 00:07:34.710 --> 00:07:37.246
  • This supernatural god's kind of peace. and i tell you, god has
  • 00:07:37.313 --> 00:07:39.715
  • Peace. and i tell you, god has led me through peace many, many
  • 00:07:39.782 --> 00:07:42.919
  • Led me through peace many, many times. let me turn over and
  • 00:07:42.985 --> 00:07:44.287
  • Times. let me turn over and read this verse to you
  • 00:07:44.353 --> 00:07:45.187

  • Thankful. let the peace of god rule. the word for rule there
  • 00:08:01.370 --> 00:08:02.838
  • Rule. the word for rule there is the same word that
  • 00:08:02.905 --> 00:08:03.839
  • Is the same word that we get umpire from.
  • 00:08:03.906 --> 00:08:06.042
  • It's talking about if you
  • 00:08:06.108 --> 00:08:07.243
  • It's talking about if you just let it be like an official,

  • Just let it be like an official, it makes the call, it...it
  • 00:08:09.045 --> 00:08:10.479
  • It makes the call, it...it decides right and wrong. and
  • 00:08:10.546 --> 00:08:12.815
  • Decides right and wrong. and this is one of the things that i
  • 00:08:12.882 --> 00:08:14.216
  • This is one of the things that i use these...these godly emotions
  • 00:08:14.283 --> 00:08:16.452

  • Joy and peace. they're there constantly. now when i'm in a
  • 00:08:20.089 --> 00:08:21.991
  • Constantly. now when i'm in a situation where i don't have
  • 00:08:22.058 --> 00:08:24.427
  • Situation where i don't have peace in the natural, all i've
  • 00:08:24.493 --> 00:08:26.529
  • Peace in the natural, all i've got to do is just refocus, make
  • 00:08:26.596 --> 00:08:29.298
  • Got to do is just refocus, make sure that i just set aside, i
  • 00:08:29.365 --> 00:08:30.866
  • Sure that i just set aside, i cast all of my care about
  • 00:08:30.933 --> 00:08:32.301
  • Cast all of my care about whatever problem i'm dealing
  • 00:08:32.368 --> 00:08:34.170
  • Whatever problem i'm dealing with over on the lord. and i get
  • 00:08:34.236 --> 00:08:36.305
  • With over on the lord. and i get out from under the emotional,
  • 00:08:36.372 --> 00:08:37.807
  • Out from under the emotional, the strain, the trauma of it,
  • 00:08:37.873 --> 00:08:39.875
  • The strain, the trauma of it, and i just start worshipping the
  • 00:08:39.942 --> 00:08:41.477
  • And i just start worshipping the lord and put my mind on the
  • 00:08:41.544 --> 00:08:43.446
  • Lord and put my mind on the lord. and then whatever i feel
  • 00:08:43.512 --> 00:08:46.482
  • Lord. and then whatever i feel peace about, i let the peace of
  • 00:08:46.549 --> 00:08:49.151
  • Peace about, i let the peace of god rule in my heart. and that
  • 00:08:49.218 --> 00:08:53.255
  • God rule in my heart. and that has...that's how i started our
  • 00:08:53.322 --> 00:08:54.824
  • Has...that's how i started our charis bible college. i'd had
  • 00:08:54.890 --> 00:08:57.259
  • Charis bible college. i'd had people ask me to start a bible
  • 00:08:57.326 --> 00:08:58.761
  • People ask me to start a bible college many times, but i didn't
  • 00:08:58.828 --> 00:09:00.262
  • College many times, but i didn't want to do it because i saw how
  • 00:09:00.329 --> 00:09:01.330
  • Want to do it because i saw how much work it was. i saw how many
  • 00:09:01.397 --> 00:09:03.299
  • Much work it was. i saw how many people go through a bible
  • 00:09:03.366 --> 00:09:04.433
  • People go through a bible college and come out and they're
  • 00:09:04.500 --> 00:09:05.534
  • College and come out and they're still a mess, and i didn't want
  • 00:09:05.601 --> 00:09:07.136
  • Still a mess, and i didn't want that to be happening with my
  • 00:09:07.203 --> 00:09:08.904
  • That to be happening with my name on them, and i'll get
  • 00:09:08.971 --> 00:09:10.339
  • Name on them, and i'll get criticized for the people who
  • 00:09:10.406 --> 00:09:12.241
  • Criticized for the people who came through. there were just a
  • 00:09:12.308 --> 00:09:13.275
  • Came through. there were just a lot of things. financially, it
  • 00:09:13.342 --> 00:09:14.944
  • Lot of things. financially, it was going to be a burden. and
  • 00:09:15.011 --> 00:09:16.679
  • Was going to be a burden. and so, for years i had just not
  • 00:09:16.746 --> 00:09:19.382
  • So, for years i had just not wanted to have a bible college.
  • 00:09:19.448 --> 00:09:21.384
  • Wanted to have a bible college. i could see that it could be
  • 00:09:21.450 --> 00:09:22.585
  • I could see that it could be beneficial, but i just didn't
  • 00:09:22.652 --> 00:09:24.253
  • Beneficial, but i just didn't want to do it. i didn't feel any
  • 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.255
  • Want to do it. i didn't feel any peace about it. and then in
  • 00:09:26.322 --> 00:09:27.823
  • Peace about it. and then in 1992, it's a long story, but all
  • 00:09:27.890 --> 00:09:30.559
  • 1992, it's a long story, but all of a sudden a supernatural peace
  • 00:09:30.626 --> 00:09:33.596
  • Of a sudden a supernatural peace came over me about starting
  • 00:09:33.663 --> 00:09:35.731
  • Came over me about starting charis bible college. and it was
  • 00:09:35.798 --> 00:09:38.000
  • Charis bible college. and it was so radically different than the
  • 00:09:38.067 --> 00:09:40.069
  • So radically different than the way i'd been feeling before that
  • 00:09:40.136 --> 00:09:41.671
  • Way i'd been feeling before that i knew that my emotions can't
  • 00:09:41.737 --> 00:09:43.372
  • I knew that my emotions can't change that quickly. and i said,
  • 00:09:43.439 --> 00:09:45.975
  • Change that quickly. and i said, this has got to be god, and
  • 00:09:46.042 --> 00:09:47.376
  • This has got to be god, and i...as i prayed about it, i
  • 00:09:47.443 --> 00:09:48.911
  • I...as i prayed about it, i started the bible college
  • 00:09:48.978 --> 00:09:50.246
  • Started the bible college basically because peace came in
  • 00:09:50.312 --> 00:09:52.448
  • Basically because peace came in my heart about that. the way i
  • 00:09:52.515 --> 00:09:54.250
  • My heart about that. the way i started on television, i knew
  • 00:09:54.316 --> 00:09:55.885
  • Started on television, i knew that someday i'd be on
  • 00:09:55.951 --> 00:09:56.919
  • That someday i'd be on television. the lord told me
  • 00:09:56.986 --> 00:09:58.154
  • Television. the lord told me that i needed to reach as far
  • 00:09:58.220 --> 00:09:59.755
  • That i needed to reach as far and as deep as i possibly could,
  • 00:09:59.822 --> 00:10:01.924
  • And as deep as i possibly could, and television is just a way to
  • 00:10:01.991 --> 00:10:03.459
  • And television is just a way to reach huge numbers of people,
  • 00:10:03.526 --> 00:10:05.661
  • Reach huge numbers of people, and so i knew someday it was
  • 00:10:05.728 --> 00:10:07.129
  • And so i knew someday it was coming. i'd been a guest on
  • 00:10:07.196 --> 00:10:08.664
  • Coming. i'd been a guest on other people's programs and it
  • 00:10:08.731 --> 00:10:09.999
  • Other people's programs and it was working, and i...it seemed
  • 00:10:10.066 --> 00:10:12.368
  • Was working, and i...it seemed like i had an ability to talk to
  • 00:10:12.435 --> 00:10:14.437
  • Like i had an ability to talk to a camera, which not everybody
  • 00:10:14.503 --> 00:10:15.871
  • A camera, which not everybody can do that. and so, i knew it
  • 00:10:15.938 --> 00:10:18.774
  • Can do that. and so, i knew it was coming, but i didn't feel
  • 00:10:18.841 --> 00:10:20.643
  • Was coming, but i didn't feel any peace about it because it
  • 00:10:20.710 --> 00:10:22.144
  • Any peace about it because it was going to be expensive, it
  • 00:10:22.211 --> 00:10:23.512
  • Was going to be expensive, it was going to be hard. but all of
  • 00:10:23.579 --> 00:10:24.880
  • Was going to be hard. but all of a sudden in 1999, the lord just
  • 00:10:24.947 --> 00:10:29.218
  • A sudden in 1999, the lord just spoke to me, or maybe it was
  • 00:10:29.285 --> 00:10:30.986
  • Spoke to me, or maybe it was '98, the lord spoke to me and
  • 00:10:31.053 --> 00:10:33.089
  • '98, the lord spoke to me and told me it was time. and all of
  • 00:10:33.155 --> 00:10:34.523
  • Told me it was time. and all of a sudden, i not only had a
  • 00:10:34.590 --> 00:10:35.691
  • A sudden, i not only had a peace, i had such an excitement
  • 00:10:35.758 --> 00:10:37.660
  • Peace, i had such an excitement about it that it was just a
  • 00:10:37.727 --> 00:10:39.128
  • About it that it was just a total flip flop in my emotions.
  • 00:10:39.195 --> 00:10:41.630
  • Total flip flop in my emotions. so anyway, the point that i'm
  • 00:10:41.697 --> 00:10:42.698
  • So anyway, the point that i'm making is, there i...there are
  • 00:10:42.765 --> 00:10:44.333
  • Making is, there i...there are godly emotions that we have. and
  • 00:10:44.400 --> 00:10:47.737
  • Godly emotions that we have. and the only way that you can divide
  • 00:10:47.803 --> 00:10:49.371
  • Between whether this emotion is
  • 00:10:50.873 --> 00:10:53.008
  • Between whether this emotion is a just a carnal reaction or
  • 00:10:53.075 --> 00:10:54.977
  • A just a carnal reaction or if it's a godly reaction,
  • 00:10:55.044 --> 00:10:56.312
  • If it's a godly reaction, how can you tell?
  • 00:10:56.378 --> 00:10:57.780
  • In hebrews, chapter 4,
  • 00:10:57.847 --> 00:10:59.381
  • In hebrews, chapter 4, verse 12, it says, the
  • 00:10:59.448 --> 00:11:00.349
  • Verse 12, it says, the word of god is quick, that
  • 00:11:00.416 --> 00:11:01.851
  • Word of god is quick, that means alive, and powerful,
  • 00:11:01.917 --> 00:11:03.753
  • Means alive, and powerful, sharper than any twoedged sword,
  • 00:11:03.819 --> 00:11:05.788
  • Sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing
  • 00:11:05.855 --> 00:11:07.690
  • Piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and
  • 00:11:07.757 --> 00:11:11.093
  • Asunder of soul and spirit, and joint and marrow, and is a
  • 00:11:11.160 --> 00:11:12.628
  • Joint and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and
  • 00:11:12.695 --> 00:11:13.896
  • Discerner of the thoughts and the intents of the heart. your
  • 00:11:13.963 --> 00:11:15.431
  • Soul is where your physical,
  • 00:11:15.498 --> 00:11:17.633
  • Soul is where your physical, natural emotions are. your
  • 00:11:17.700 --> 00:11:19.602
  • Natural emotions are. your spirit is where this fruit of
  • 00:11:19.668 --> 00:11:21.670
  • Spirit is where this fruit of the spirit, love, joy, peace,
  • 00:11:21.737 --> 00:11:23.472
  • The spirit, love, joy, peace, all these things are, and the
  • 00:11:23.539 --> 00:11:25.141
  • All these things are, and the word of god will divide between.
  • 00:11:25.207 --> 00:11:27.743
  • Word of god will divide between. it's the only thing that can
  • 00:11:27.810 --> 00:11:28.978
  • It's the only thing that can separate it. and so there's a
  • 00:11:29.044 --> 00:11:31.113
  • Separate it. and so there's a lot of things that i use to help
  • 00:11:31.180 --> 00:11:33.616
  • Lot of things that i use to help discern this. but one of them
  • 00:11:33.682 --> 00:11:34.950
  • Discern this. but one of them is, the scripture says, don't do
  • 00:11:35.017 --> 00:11:36.318
  • Is, the scripture says, don't do anything with malice. malice is
  • 00:11:36.385 --> 00:11:38.988
  • Anything with malice. malice is the intent to hurt another
  • 00:11:39.054 --> 00:11:40.890
  • The intent to hurt another person. if i have a desire to do
  • 00:11:40.956 --> 00:11:43.626
  • Person. if i have a desire to do something, but if it involves
  • 00:11:43.692 --> 00:11:45.094
  • Something, but if it involves malice, the intent to hurt
  • 00:11:45.161 --> 00:11:46.762
  • Malice, the intent to hurt somebody, i'm wanting to hurt a
  • 00:11:46.829 --> 00:11:48.831
  • Somebody, i'm wanting to hurt a person. now you need to use a
  • 00:11:48.898 --> 00:11:50.466
  • Person. now you need to use a little bit of discernment with
  • 00:11:50.533 --> 00:11:51.934
  • Little bit of discernment with this because sometimes doing the
  • 00:11:52.001 --> 00:11:53.636
  • This because sometimes doing the right things will hurt a person,
  • 00:11:53.702 --> 00:11:56.472
  • Right things will hurt a person, but because they rejected it.
  • 00:11:56.539 --> 00:11:58.574
  • But because they rejected it. but malice is the intent to
  • 00:11:58.641 --> 00:12:00.643
  • But malice is the intent to hurt. and so, one of the things
  • 00:12:00.709 --> 00:12:02.344
  • Hurt. and so, one of the things i do, when i have a desire to do
  • 00:12:02.411 --> 00:12:03.946
  • I do, when i have a desire to do something, i sit there and say,
  • 00:12:04.013 --> 00:12:05.781
  • Something, i sit there and say, is there any malice in this? am
  • 00:12:05.848 --> 00:12:07.483
  • Is there any malice in this? am i doing this to get back at a
  • 00:12:07.550 --> 00:12:09.151
  • I doing this to get back at a person? am i doing this in
  • 00:12:09.218 --> 00:12:10.586
  • Person? am i doing this in response to what a person has
  • 00:12:10.653 --> 00:12:12.321
  • Response to what a person has done to me and i'm out to defend
  • 00:12:12.388 --> 00:12:14.423
  • Done to me and i'm out to defend myself? that would be another
  • 00:12:14.490 --> 00:12:15.958
  • Myself? that would be another scripture that i would apply to
  • 00:12:16.025 --> 00:12:17.426
  • Scripture that i would apply to it. it says, don't let anything
  • 00:12:17.493 --> 00:12:18.894
  • It. it says, don't let anything be done through vain glory and
  • 00:12:18.961 --> 00:12:21.964
  • Be done through vain glory and self-promotion. if the reason
  • 00:12:22.031 --> 00:12:24.400
  • Self-promotion. if the reason i'm wanting to do something is
  • 00:12:24.466 --> 00:12:25.868
  • I'm wanting to do something is because i'm out to promote
  • 00:12:25.935 --> 00:12:27.169
  • Because i'm out to promote myself, that's another thing.
  • 00:12:27.236 --> 00:12:28.637
  • Myself, that's another thing. see, the word of god will
  • 00:12:28.704 --> 00:12:29.605
  • See, the word of god will divide, that that...no, that's a
  • 00:12:29.672 --> 00:12:31.507
  • Divide, that that...no, that's a soulish, that's something in the
  • 00:12:31.574 --> 00:12:33.042
  • Soulish, that's something in the soul. but when it comes from the
  • 00:12:33.108 --> 00:12:35.110
  • Soul. but when it comes from the spirit, it will be first of all
  • 00:12:35.177 --> 00:12:37.680
  • Spirit, it will be first of all pure, peaceable. let me just
  • 00:12:37.746 --> 00:12:40.049
  • Pure, peaceable. let me just turn over and read that
  • 00:12:40.115 --> 00:12:41.083
  • Turn over and read that verse to you out of james,
  • 00:12:41.150 --> 00:12:43.285
  • Chapter 3. and it says in
  • 00:12:43.352 --> 00:12:45.921
  • Chapter 3. and it says in verse 17, for the wisdom
  • 00:12:45.988 --> 00:12:47.556
  • Verse 17, for the wisdom that is from above is
  • 00:12:47.623 --> 00:12:48.991
  • That is from above is first pure, then peaceable,
  • 00:12:49.058 --> 00:12:52.494
  • First pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be
  • 00:12:52.561 --> 00:12:54.463
  • Gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and
  • 00:12:54.530 --> 00:12:56.432
  • Entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality,
  • 00:12:56.498 --> 00:12:59.335
  • Good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. man,
  • 00:12:59.401 --> 00:13:01.737
  • That's a list of a lot of
  • 00:13:01.804 --> 00:13:03.239
  • That's a list of a lot of things. we could spend a lot of
  • 00:13:03.305 --> 00:13:04.406
  • Things. we could spend a lot of time talking about that. but
  • 00:13:04.473 --> 00:13:05.674
  • Time talking about that. but see, you use the word of god to
  • 00:13:05.741 --> 00:13:07.209
  • See, you use the word of god to discern. is this feeling that
  • 00:13:07.276 --> 00:13:09.211
  • Discern. is this feeling that i'm having, is this just myself
  • 00:13:09.278 --> 00:13:11.914
  • I'm having, is this just myself or is it my born-again spirit?
  • 00:13:11.981 --> 00:13:14.149
  • Or is it my born-again spirit? is it one of the fruit of the
  • 00:13:14.216 --> 00:13:15.451
  • Is it one of the fruit of the spirit? and the way you discern
  • 00:13:15.517 --> 00:13:17.052
  • Spirit? and the way you discern that is by the word of god. your
  • 00:13:17.119 --> 00:13:18.888
  • That is by the word of god. your born-again spirit will never
  • 00:13:18.954 --> 00:13:20.522
  • Born-again spirit will never contradict the word of god ever,
  • 00:13:20.589 --> 00:13:23.525
  • Contradict the word of god ever, ever. it's never contrary to the
  • 00:13:23.592 --> 00:13:25.794
  • Ever. it's never contrary to the word of god. and you can use
  • 00:13:25.861 --> 00:13:28.063
  • Word of god. and you can use that on a positive and on a
  • 00:13:28.130 --> 00:13:29.164
  • That on a positive and on a negative side. you know, if
  • 00:13:29.231 --> 00:13:30.833
  • Negative side. you know, if you've got some kind of an
  • 00:13:30.900 --> 00:13:32.101
  • You've got some kind of an emotional about, i'm just ready
  • 00:13:32.167 --> 00:13:33.636
  • Emotional about, i'm just ready to quit and i'm ready to give
  • 00:13:33.702 --> 00:13:35.337
  • To quit and i'm ready to give up, well, that's contrary to the
  • 00:13:35.404 --> 00:13:37.506
  • Up, well, that's contrary to the word of god. the word of god
  • 00:13:37.573 --> 00:13:39.408
  • Word of god. the word of god says in 1 corinthians, chapter
  • 00:13:39.475 --> 00:13:40.876
  • Says in 1 corinthians, chapter 13, that god's kind of love
  • 00:13:40.943 --> 00:13:42.811
  • 13, that god's kind of love never fails. it endures all
  • 00:13:42.878 --> 00:13:45.581
  • Never fails. it endures all things, it hopes all things, it
  • 00:13:45.648 --> 00:13:48.083
  • Things, it hopes all things, it believes all things. it never
  • 00:13:48.150 --> 00:13:49.685
  • Believes all things. it never fails. if you were just to a
  • 00:13:49.752 --> 00:13:51.387
  • Fails. if you were just to a place to where, i can't stand it
  • 00:13:51.453 --> 00:13:52.922
  • Place to where, i can't stand it anymore, you are in the flesh.
  • 00:13:52.988 --> 00:13:55.491

  • That what i'm saying, this...sometimes you gotta
  • 00:14:04.366 --> 00:14:07.469
  • This...sometimes you gotta terrify a person before you
  • 00:14:07.536 --> 00:14:09.038
  • Terrify a person before you edify them. sometimes you gotta
  • 00:14:09.104 --> 00:14:10.539
  • Edify them. sometimes you gotta point out that what you're doing
  • 00:14:10.606 --> 00:14:12.808
  • Point out that what you're doing is wrong before they will turn
  • 00:14:12.875 --> 00:14:15.044
  • Is wrong before they will turn from it and start doing what's
  • 00:14:15.110 --> 00:14:16.779
  • From it and start doing what's right. and there's a lot of
  • 00:14:16.845 --> 00:14:18.480
  • Right. and there's a lot of people that honestly, they...in
  • 00:14:18.547 --> 00:14:20.516
  • People that honestly, they...in counseling, i've pastored three
  • 00:14:20.582 --> 00:14:22.151
  • Counseling, i've pastored three little churches, and i've had

  • 00:15:34.256 --> 00:15:36.358
  • Because he said, you've

  • And it says, for the joy that was set before him,

  • I know what i'm saying is
  • 00:15:54.977 --> 00:15:56.245

  • Threatened to kick me out of my church. my...my mother didn't
  • 00:17:16.558 --> 00:17:19.027
  • Church. my...my mother didn't talk to me for two weeks. i had
  • 00:17:19.094 --> 00:17:21.063
  • Talk to me for two weeks. i had people come against me and tell
  • 00:17:21.130 --> 00:17:22.231
  • People come against me and tell me i was of the devil. and
  • 00:17:22.297 --> 00:17:24.500
  • Me i was of the devil. and because of it, just to honor my
  • 00:17:24.566 --> 00:17:26.502
  • Because of it, just to honor my mother, i decided to stay in
  • 00:17:26.568 --> 00:17:27.936
  • Mother, i decided to stay in school for a while until that
  • 00:17:28.003 --> 00:17:30.272
  • School for a while until that semester was over, she said so
  • 00:17:30.339 --> 00:17:33.408
  • Semester was over, she said so that you wouldn't get a zero.
  • 00:17:33.475 --> 00:17:35.144
  • That you wouldn't get a zero. and when you finally get
  • 00:17:35.210 --> 00:17:36.378
  • And when you finally get straightened out and want to
  • 00:17:36.445 --> 00:17:37.412
  • Straightened out and want to come back to school, you'd
  • 00:17:37.479 --> 00:17:38.647
  • Come back to school, you'd ha...you wouldn't have a zero
  • 00:17:38.714 --> 00:17:40.649
  • Ha...you wouldn't have a zero and you'd be able to go back
  • 00:17:40.716 --> 00:17:41.884
  • And you'd be able to go back into college. so anyway, to
  • 00:17:41.950 --> 00:17:42.918
  • Into college. so anyway, to humor her, i stayed in school.
  • 00:17:42.985 --> 00:17:45.120
  • Humor her, i stayed in school. this was back before i was
  • 00:17:45.187 --> 00:17:46.021
  • This was back before i was married, but i was miserable. i
  • 00:17:46.088 --> 00:17:49.958
  • Married, but i was miserable. i just hated it. and finally one
  • 00:17:50.025 --> 00:17:52.127
  • Just hated it. and finally one night i read the verse
  • 00:17:52.194 --> 00:17:53.362
  • In romans, chapter 14, verse 23.
  • 00:17:53.428 --> 00:17:55.464
  • In romans, chapter 14, verse 23. the last part of that
  • 00:17:55.531 --> 00:17:56.431
  • The last part of that verse says, whatsoever is
  • 00:17:56.498 --> 00:17:57.766
  • Verse says, whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
  • 00:17:57.833 --> 00:17:59.601
  • And man, that just hit
  • 00:17:59.668 --> 00:18:01.303
  • And man, that just hit me. and i said, i'm not in
  • 00:18:01.370 --> 00:18:02.938
  • Me. and i said, i'm not in faith. i don't feel like i'm
  • 00:18:03.005 --> 00:18:05.140
  • Faith. i don't feel like i'm supposed to be in school, but
  • 00:18:05.207 --> 00:18:07.309
  • Supposed to be in school, but yet i am there because of the
  • 00:18:07.376 --> 00:18:08.977
  • Yet i am there because of the pressure of everybody else. and
  • 00:18:09.044 --> 00:18:10.646
  • Pressure of everybody else. and i said, i'm in sin because i'm
  • 00:18:10.712 --> 00:18:12.848
  • I said, i'm in sin because i'm not doing what i think i should
  • 00:18:12.915 --> 00:18:14.283
  • Not doing what i think i should be doing. and i said, i'm not
  • 00:18:14.349 --> 00:18:15.951
  • Be doing. and i said, i'm not going to be in sin tomorrow. so
  • 00:18:16.018 --> 00:18:17.186
  • Going to be in sin tomorrow. so i went home early. i just
  • 00:18:17.252 --> 00:18:19.388
  • I went home early. i just decided to get a word from
  • 00:18:19.454 --> 00:18:22.057
  • Decided to get a word from god and make a decision and
  • 00:18:22.124 --> 00:18:23.725
  • God and make a decision and so that tomorrow i
  • 00:18:23.792 --> 00:18:24.693
  • So that tomorrow i wouldn't be living in sin.
  • 00:18:24.760 --> 00:18:26.195
  • And that scripture in
  • 00:18:26.261 --> 00:18:27.262
  • And that scripture in colossians 3:15, about let the
  • 00:18:27.329 --> 00:18:29.064
  • Colossians 3:15, about let the peace of god rule in your heart
  • 00:18:29.131 --> 00:18:31.233
  • Peace of god rule in your heart just jumped out at me.
  • 00:18:31.300 --> 00:18:33.368
  • And so, here's how i decided
  • 00:18:33.435 --> 00:18:35.437
  • And so, here's how i decided to do that. i...i contemplated
  • 00:18:35.504 --> 00:18:37.439
  • To do that. i...i contemplated with my imagination, if
  • 00:18:37.506 --> 00:18:38.740
  • With my imagination, if i stay in school, what's
  • 00:18:38.807 --> 00:18:40.943
  • I stay in school, what's that going to be like,
  • 00:18:41.009 --> 00:18:42.377
  • That going to be like, and i tried to imagine,
  • 00:18:42.444 --> 00:18:43.645
  • And i tried to imagine, and i mean, i hated it. and i
  • 00:18:43.712 --> 00:18:47.216
  • And i mean, i hated it. and i had zero peace, zero peace about
  • 00:18:47.282 --> 00:18:50.953
  • Had zero peace, zero peace about staying in school. but when i
  • 00:18:51.019 --> 00:18:52.955
  • Staying in school. but when i contemplated getting out of
  • 00:18:53.021 --> 00:18:54.556
  • Contemplated getting out of school, i didn't have total
  • 00:18:54.623 --> 00:18:56.458
  • School, i didn't have total peace with that because people
  • 00:18:56.525 --> 00:18:59.595
  • Peace with that because people were going to reject me, i was
  • 00:18:59.661 --> 00:19:01.063
  • Were going to reject me, i was going to lose money from the
  • 00:19:01.129 --> 00:19:02.130
  • Going to lose money from the government. as long as i was
  • 00:19:02.197 --> 00:19:03.365
  • Government. as long as i was going to school, i was getting
  • 00:19:03.432 --> 00:19:04.433
  • Going to school, i was getting $350 a month, and i was probably
  • 00:19:04.499 --> 00:19:08.370
  • $350 a month, and i was probably going to get drafted and sent to
  • 00:19:08.437 --> 00:19:09.638
  • Going to get drafted and sent to vietnam. and so, i didn't have
  • 00:19:09.705 --> 00:19:12.040
  • Vietnam. and so, i didn't have total peace about quitting
  • 00:19:12.107 --> 00:19:13.442
  • Total peace about quitting school, but i had zero peace
  • 00:19:13.508 --> 00:19:15.911
  • School, but i had zero peace about staying in school. so
  • 00:19:15.978 --> 00:19:17.646
  • About staying in school. so considering my two options, i
  • 00:19:17.713 --> 00:19:19.581
  • Considering my two options, i had to do one of those two, i
  • 00:19:19.648 --> 00:19:21.817
  • Had to do one of those two, i had the most peace about
  • 00:19:21.883 --> 00:19:23.785
  • Had the most peace about quitting school. and so, that's
  • 00:19:23.852 --> 00:19:25.520
  • Quitting school. and so, that's what i decided to do, was to
  • 00:19:25.587 --> 00:19:27.589
  • What i decided to do, was to quit school. and anyway, it's a
  • 00:19:27.656 --> 00:19:29.391
  • Quit school. and anyway, it's a long story, i won't...i hadn't
  • 00:19:29.458 --> 00:19:30.626
  • Long story, i won't...i hadn't got time to go into the whole
  • 00:19:30.692 --> 00:19:31.827
  • Got time to go into the whole thing. but, looking back at
  • 00:19:31.893 --> 00:19:34.263
  • Thing. but, looking back at that, that's one of the greatest
  • 00:19:34.329 --> 00:19:35.564
  • That, that's one of the greatest decisions i ever made in my
  • 00:19:35.631 --> 00:19:37.466
  • Decisions i ever made in my life. i was 18 years old. i had
  • 00:19:37.532 --> 00:19:40.602
  • Life. i was 18 years old. i had only been in touch with the lord
  • 00:19:40.669 --> 00:19:42.304
  • Only been in touch with the lord for just a few weeks, as really,
  • 00:19:42.371 --> 00:19:45.974
  • For just a few weeks, as really, you know, listening to him, and
  • 00:19:46.041 --> 00:19:47.876
  • You know, listening to him, and it's one of the greatest
  • 00:19:47.943 --> 00:19:48.777
  • It's one of the greatest decisions i ever made. it set my
  • 00:19:48.844 --> 00:19:50.612
  • Decisions i ever made. it set my life on a course that i would
  • 00:19:50.679 --> 00:19:52.147
  • Life on a course that i would have had to have rebelled at god
  • 00:19:52.214 --> 00:19:54.616
  • Have had to have rebelled at god to keep from doing what i'm
  • 00:19:54.683 --> 00:19:55.817
  • To keep from doing what i'm doing today. and it was all
  • 00:19:55.884 --> 00:19:57.686
  • Doing today. and it was all because of i recognized this
  • 00:19:57.753 --> 00:20:00.889
  • Because of i recognized this emotion, this godly emotion of
  • 00:20:00.956 --> 00:20:03.158
  • Emotion, this godly emotion of peace, and i let the peace of
  • 00:20:03.225 --> 00:20:05.761
  • Peace, and i let the peace of god that was in my heart
  • 00:20:05.827 --> 00:20:07.462
  • God that was in my heart overrule my head and the
  • 00:20:07.529 --> 00:20:10.165
  • Overrule my head and the negative, carnal emotions that i
  • 00:20:10.232 --> 00:20:12.134
  • Negative, carnal emotions that i was having because of the
  • 00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:13.201
  • Was having because of the criticism of people. and i tell
  • 00:20:13.268 --> 00:20:15.203
  • Criticism of people. and i tell you, it's one of the best
  • 00:20:15.270 --> 00:20:16.004
  • You, it's one of the best decisions i've ever made.
  • 00:20:16.071 --> 00:20:17.239
