  • >> welcome to our thursday's
  • 00:00:31.488 --> 00:00:32.589
  • Broadcast of the gospel truth.
  • 00:00:32.589 --> 00:00:34.724
  • Today i'm nearing the end of
  • 00:00:34.724 --> 00:00:36.326
  • My second week, teaching on
  • 00:00:36.326 --> 00:00:37.994
  • Harnessing your emotions.
  • 00:00:37.994 --> 00:00:39.796
  • And i tell you, i wrote a book
  • 00:00:39.796 --> 00:00:41.431
  • On this about 30 years ago.
  • 00:00:41.431 --> 00:00:43.399
  • This is a powerful teaching.
  • 00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:45.335
  • And emotions are more
  • 00:00:45.335 --> 00:00:47.570
  • Than just a feeling. it actually
  • 00:00:47.637 --> 00:00:49.839
  • Than just a feeling. it actually is a driving force in our life.
  • 00:00:49.906 --> 00:00:52.075
  • Is a driving force in our life. and sad to say, most people
  • 00:00:52.142 --> 00:00:53.610
  • And sad to say, most people let their emotions be completely
  • 00:00:53.676 --> 00:00:55.612
  • Let their emotions be completely controlled by what's happening
  • 00:00:55.678 --> 00:00:57.814
  • Controlled by what's happening to them out there. and if you do
  • 00:00:57.881 --> 00:00:59.849
  • To them out there. and if you do that, you are going to be an
  • 00:00:59.916 --> 00:01:01.584
  • That, you are going to be an emotional wreck. and that
  • 00:01:01.651 --> 00:01:04.087
  • Emotional wreck. and that is not just a play on words,
  • 00:01:04.154 --> 00:01:06.489
  • Is not just a play on words, that is an ash... actual truth.
  • 00:01:06.556 --> 00:01:09.159
  • That is an ash... actual truth. emotions are the best of life
  • 00:01:09.225 --> 00:01:10.927
  • Emotions are the best of life and the worst of life if you
  • 00:01:10.994 --> 00:01:12.462
  • And the worst of life if you let them get out of control.
  • 00:01:12.529 --> 00:01:14.497
  • Let them get out of control. emotions serve a purpose. they
  • 00:01:14.564 --> 00:01:16.766
  • Emotions serve a purpose. they are given to us by god. and
  • 00:01:16.833 --> 00:01:18.268
  • Are given to us by god. and even negative emotions have a
  • 00:01:18.334 --> 00:01:19.936
  • Even negative emotions have a function. and it shows you that
  • 00:01:20.003 --> 00:01:22.005
  • Function. and it shows you that when you begin to start taking
  • 00:01:22.071 --> 00:01:23.907
  • When you begin to start taking your attention off of jesus and
  • 00:01:23.973 --> 00:01:26.342
  • Your attention off of jesus and you begin to start feeling fear,
  • 00:01:26.409 --> 00:01:28.144
  • You begin to start feeling fear, worry, care, things like that,
  • 00:01:28.211 --> 00:01:31.247
  • Worry, care, things like that, that is an indication to you
  • 00:01:31.314 --> 00:01:33.116
  • That is an indication to you that you need to refocus and put
  • 00:01:33.183 --> 00:01:35.385
  • That you need to refocus and put your attention upon the lord.
  • 00:01:35.451 --> 00:01:36.986
  • Your attention upon the lord. it's just like peter walking on
  • 00:01:37.053 --> 00:01:38.988
  • It's just like peter walking on the water. as long as he focused
  • 00:01:39.055 --> 00:01:40.590
  • The water. as long as he focused on jesus... this is out of
  • 00:01:40.657 --> 00:01:41.758
  • On jesus... this is out of matthew, chapter 14, he could
  • 00:01:41.824 --> 00:01:43.860
  • Matthew, chapter 14, he could walk on water, but when he took
  • 00:01:43.927 --> 00:01:45.361
  • Walk on water, but when he took his attention off of jesus, he
  • 00:01:45.428 --> 00:01:46.729
  • His attention off of jesus, he began to sink. he let the things
  • 00:01:46.796 --> 00:01:49.265
  • Began to sink. he let the things that were going on around him
  • 00:01:49.332 --> 00:01:50.633
  • That were going on around him bring fear to him. and he had
  • 00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:53.536
  • Bring fear to him. and he had negative thoughts, negative
  • 00:01:53.603 --> 00:01:55.271
  • Negative thoughts, negative emotions, and he began to sink.
  • 00:01:55.338 --> 00:01:57.207
  • Emotions, and he began to sink. this is what emotions are all
  • 00:01:57.273 --> 00:01:58.841
  • This is what emotions are all about. god gave us the ability
  • 00:01:58.908 --> 00:02:01.444
  • About. god gave us the ability to be depressed and discouraged
  • 00:02:01.511 --> 00:02:04.113
  • To be depressed and discouraged and fearful. did you know they
  • 00:02:04.180 --> 00:02:05.381
  • And fearful. did you know they serve a purpose? you should be
  • 00:02:05.448 --> 00:02:07.383
  • Serve a purpose? you should be afraid, if you know, like you're
  • 00:02:07.450 --> 00:02:08.918
  • Afraid, if you know, like you're in an airplane and somehow or
  • 00:02:08.985 --> 00:02:11.221
  • In an airplane and somehow or another somebody's threatening
  • 00:02:11.287 --> 00:02:12.889
  • Another somebody's threatening to throw you out of the
  • 00:02:12.956 --> 00:02:13.823
  • To throw you out of the airplane, there should be an
  • 00:02:13.890 --> 00:02:14.958
  • Airplane, there should be an emotion of fear, because that is
  • 00:02:15.024 --> 00:02:16.659
  • Emotion of fear, because that is not a good thing. but you can
  • 00:02:16.726 --> 00:02:19.062
  • Not a good thing. but you can let fear just dominate you.
  • 00:02:19.128 --> 00:02:21.064
  • Let fear just dominate you. there are some people that have
  • 00:02:21.130 --> 00:02:22.232
  • There are some people that have a fear of heights that even when
  • 00:02:22.298 --> 00:02:23.533
  • A fear of heights that even when they aren't in an airplane,
  • 00:02:23.600 --> 00:02:24.667
  • They aren't in an airplane, just, you know, in other things,
  • 00:02:24.734 --> 00:02:26.502
  • Just, you know, in other things, they let this fear go to an
  • 00:02:26.569 --> 00:02:28.137
  • They let this fear go to an extreme. and sad to say, most
  • 00:02:28.204 --> 00:02:30.773
  • Extreme. and sad to say, most people are living to where
  • 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:32.308
  • People are living to where their emotions have gone way
  • 00:02:32.375 --> 00:02:34.110
  • Their emotions have gone way beyond what god intended
  • 00:02:34.177 --> 00:02:35.678
  • Beyond what god intended them to function as, and
  • 00:02:35.745 --> 00:02:37.580
  • Them to function as, and they are dominated by hurt,
  • 00:02:37.647 --> 00:02:40.116
  • They are dominated by hurt, by pain, anger, bitterness,
  • 00:02:40.183 --> 00:02:41.985
  • By pain, anger, bitterness, unforgiveness, and on and on.
  • 00:02:42.051 --> 00:02:44.020
  • Unforgiveness, and on and on. you have to grab hold of those
  • 00:02:44.087 --> 00:02:46.089
  • You have to grab hold of those emotions. and i've shared
  • 00:02:46.155 --> 00:02:47.690
  • Emotions. and i've shared scripture about how that
  • 00:02:47.757 --> 00:02:48.858
  • Scripture about how that emotions are where sin is
  • 00:02:48.925 --> 00:02:51.127
  • Emotions are where sin is conceived in your life. let me
  • 00:02:51.194 --> 00:02:53.263
  • Conceived in your life. let me use these verses out of isaiah,
  • 00:02:53.329 --> 00:02:54.998
  • Use these verses out of isaiah, chapter 53. and for anybody
  • 00:02:55.064 --> 00:02:57.400
  • Chapter 53. and for anybody who's really familiar with
  • 00:02:57.467 --> 00:02:58.768
  • Who's really familiar with scripture, you will recognize
  • 00:02:58.835 --> 00:03:00.670
  • Scripture, you will recognize immediately that these are
  • 00:03:00.737 --> 00:03:01.971
  • Immediately that these are prophetic scriptures, talking
  • 00:03:02.038 --> 00:03:03.473
  • Prophetic scriptures, talking about jesus and what he would do
  • 00:03:03.539 --> 00:03:05.775
  • About jesus and what he would do for us through his death and
  • 00:03:05.842 --> 00:03:07.443
  • For us through his death and resurrection. and let me just
  • 00:03:07.510 --> 00:03:09.612
  • Start reading in isaiah, chapter
  • 00:03:09.679 --> 00:03:11.481
  • Start reading in isaiah, chapter 53, and in verse 3. it says, he,
  • 00:03:11.547 --> 00:03:14.484
  • 53, and in verse 3. it says, he, speaking of jesus, is despised
  • 00:03:14.550 --> 00:03:17.253
  • Speaking of jesus, is despised and rejected of men. why was
  • 00:03:17.320 --> 00:03:19.656
  • Jesus despised and rejected? it
  • 00:03:19.722 --> 00:03:22.292
  • Jesus despised and rejected? it wasn't because of his own self.
  • 00:03:22.358 --> 00:03:24.394
  • Wasn't because of his own self. he didn't suffer those things
  • 00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:26.262
  • He didn't suffer those things because of his own sin. he bore
  • 00:03:26.329 --> 00:03:28.598
  • Because of his own sin. he bore our being despised and rejected.
  • 00:03:28.665 --> 00:03:32.402
  • Our being despised and rejected. everything that he did was
  • 00:03:32.468 --> 00:03:33.703
  • Everything that he did was substitutionary for us. and
  • 00:03:33.770 --> 00:03:36.472
  • Substitutionary for us. and so if he did this for us,
  • 00:03:36.539 --> 00:03:38.107
  • So if he did this for us, well then we shouldn't
  • 00:03:38.174 --> 00:03:39.108
  • Well then we shouldn't have to bear it either.
  • 00:03:39.175 --> 00:03:40.276
  • So remember, he was despised
  • 00:03:40.343 --> 00:03:42.211
  • So remember, he was despised and rejected of men; a man
  • 00:03:42.278 --> 00:03:43.846
  • And rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted
  • 00:03:43.913 --> 00:03:45.481
  • Of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it
  • 00:03:45.548 --> 00:03:47.650
  • With grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was
  • 00:03:47.717 --> 00:03:49.285
  • Were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him
  • 00:03:49.352 --> 00:03:51.654
  • Despised, and we esteemed him not. surely he hath borne our
  • 00:03:51.721 --> 00:03:54.223
  • Not. surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows.
  • 00:03:54.290 --> 00:03:57.226
  • Griefs, and carried our sorrows. he was bruised for our
  • 00:03:57.293 --> 00:03:59.062
  • He was bruised for our iniquities, and the chastisement
  • 00:03:59.128 --> 00:04:01.597
  • Iniquities, and the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and
  • 00:04:01.664 --> 00:04:03.966
  • Of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
  • 00:04:04.033 --> 00:04:07.537
  • Did you know some people will
  • 00:04:07.603 --> 00:04:09.605
  • Did you know some people will take the last part of that
  • 00:04:09.672 --> 00:04:11.274
  • Take the last part of that and... and say that we are
  • 00:04:11.341 --> 00:04:12.809
  • And... and say that we are healed by his stripes, and
  • 00:04:12.875 --> 00:04:14.344
  • Healed by his stripes, and so they believe in healing,
  • 00:04:14.410 --> 00:04:15.878
  • So they believe in healing, and i certainly believe in
  • 00:04:15.945 --> 00:04:17.380
  • And i certainly believe in healing, but then they
  • 00:04:17.447 --> 00:04:18.614
  • Healing, but then they ignore the rest of this
  • 00:04:18.681 --> 00:04:19.816
  • Ignore the rest of this verse. in the same way that,
  • 00:04:19.882 --> 00:04:21.918
  • Verse. in the same way that, by his stripes we are healed,
  • 00:04:21.984 --> 00:04:24.320
  • We also have had him bear our
  • 00:04:24.387 --> 00:04:27.056
  • We also have had him bear our sorrows and carry our griefs,
  • 00:04:27.123 --> 00:04:30.326
  • Sorrows and carry our griefs, and he was smitten and stricken
  • 00:04:30.393 --> 00:04:34.030
  • And he was smitten and stricken and afflicted for us. so not
  • 00:04:34.097 --> 00:04:36.799
  • Only is our physical bodies
  • 00:04:36.866 --> 00:04:38.901
  • Only is our physical bodies healed by the stripes of jesus,
  • 00:04:38.968 --> 00:04:40.770
  • Healed by the stripes of jesus, but he bore our griefs and
  • 00:04:40.837 --> 00:04:42.138
  • But he bore our griefs and carried our sorrows. if jesus
  • 00:04:42.205 --> 00:04:44.173
  • Carried our sorrows. if jesus bore our griefs and sorrows, why
  • 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:45.942
  • Bore our griefs and sorrows, why are we bearing them? and again,
  • 00:04:46.008 --> 00:04:49.278
  • Are we bearing them? and again, i know that there's people
  • 00:04:49.345 --> 00:04:50.213
  • I know that there's people watching this that think, well
  • 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:51.314
  • Watching this that think, well i'm bearing them because this
  • 00:04:51.381 --> 00:04:52.348
  • I'm bearing them because this person did that, and you feel
  • 00:04:52.415 --> 00:04:53.850
  • Person did that, and you feel like you just have no control
  • 00:04:53.916 --> 00:04:55.551
  • Like you just have no control over it. this person treated you
  • 00:04:55.618 --> 00:04:57.553
  • Over it. this person treated you badly, this person divorced you,
  • 00:04:57.620 --> 00:04:59.288
  • Badly, this person divorced you, this person lied about you, this
  • 00:04:59.355 --> 00:05:01.324
  • This person lied about you, this person did this, and so you're
  • 00:05:01.391 --> 00:05:03.259
  • Person did this, and so you're going to be limping through life
  • 00:05:03.326 --> 00:05:05.895
  • Going to be limping through life the rest of your life bearing
  • 00:05:05.962 --> 00:05:07.563
  • The rest of your life bearing those things. i can understand
  • 00:05:07.630 --> 00:05:10.466
  • Those things. i can understand that. i'm not condemning you,
  • 00:05:10.533 --> 00:05:12.702
  • That. i'm not condemning you, but i am encouraging you that
  • 00:05:12.769 --> 00:05:14.771
  • But i am encouraging you that you do not have to live that
  • 00:05:14.837 --> 00:05:16.706
  • You do not have to live that way. jesus suffered; whatever
  • 00:05:16.773 --> 00:05:18.941
  • Way. jesus suffered; whatever rejection, whatever hurt and
  • 00:05:19.008 --> 00:05:20.610
  • Rejection, whatever hurt and pain has ever come your way,
  • 00:05:20.676 --> 00:05:23.646
  • Pain has ever come your way, jesus took what you have coming
  • 00:05:23.713 --> 00:05:26.783
  • Jesus took what you have coming against you right now, and he
  • 00:05:26.849 --> 00:05:28.518
  • Against you right now, and he experienced that in his own
  • 00:05:28.584 --> 00:05:29.886
  • Experienced that in his own body and in his soul and in his
  • 00:05:29.952 --> 00:05:32.622
  • Body and in his soul and in his emotions. he's... he felt all of
  • 00:05:32.688 --> 00:05:34.991
  • Emotions. he's... he felt all of the rejection, all of the hurt

  • And all of the pain. anything that you're going through,
  • 00:05:39.729 --> 00:05:40.496
  • That you're going through, jesus has already borne it. and
  • 00:05:40.563 --> 00:05:42.465
  • Jesus has already borne it. and why did he do it? because he
  • 00:05:42.532 --> 00:05:43.800
  • Why did he do it? because he deserved it? no, he did it for
  • 00:05:43.866 --> 00:05:45.435

  • There's no reason in both of us suffering. that's double
  • 00:05:52.608 --> 00:05:54.143
  • Of us suffering. that's double jeopardy. jesus suffered things
  • 00:05:54.210 --> 00:05:56.746

  • 00:10:45.568 --> 00:10:48.237
  • 24/7 that will minister to you, that will pray with you and help
  • 00:10:48.304 --> 00:10:50.239
  • That will pray with you and help you to receive. but i'm telling
  • 00:10:50.306 --> 00:10:52.308
  • You, the bible says that in
  • 00:10:52.374 --> 00:10:53.809
  • You, the bible says that in matthew, chapter 11, jesus
  • 00:10:53.876 --> 00:10:55.244
  • Matthew, chapter 11, jesus said, come unto me, all ye
  • 00:10:55.311 --> 00:10:56.612
  • Said, come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy
  • 00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:58.581
  • That labour and are heavy laden, and i will give you rest.
  • 00:10:58.647 --> 00:11:00.883
  • Laden, and i will give you rest. take my yoke upon you, and learn
  • 00:11:00.950 --> 00:11:03.419
  • Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for i am meek and lowly
  • 00:11:03.486 --> 00:11:05.454
  • Of me; for i am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find
  • 00:11:05.521 --> 00:11:06.922
  • In heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls. and so
  • 00:11:06.989 --> 00:11:09.859
  • That's talking about in the
  • 00:11:09.925 --> 00:11:11.227
  • That's talking about in the emotional realm. you can come to
  • 00:11:11.293 --> 00:11:12.828
  • Emotional realm. you can come to the lord, and he will take away
  • 00:11:12.895 --> 00:11:14.363
  • The lord, and he will take away that heavy burden and he will
  • 00:11:14.430 --> 00:11:16.665
  • That heavy burden and he will make your burden light. again,
  • 00:11:16.732 --> 00:11:19.401
  • Make your burden light. again, i'm not condemning any person
  • 00:11:19.468 --> 00:11:21.704
  • I'm not condemning any person who's suffering and struggling.
  • 00:11:21.771 --> 00:11:24.440
  • Who's suffering and struggling. i understand that that's normal,
  • 00:11:24.507 --> 00:11:26.776
  • I understand that that's normal, that's natural. but i am saying
  • 00:11:26.842 --> 00:11:29.111
  • That's natural. but i am saying that there is a supernatural
  • 00:11:29.178 --> 00:11:31.013
  • That there is a supernatural supply from god, and you do not
  • 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.382
  • Supply from god, and you do not have to live under that burden.
  • 00:11:33.449 --> 00:11:34.950
  • You know, i had a very good
  • 00:11:36.285 --> 00:11:37.286
  • You know, i had a very good friend that lived not far from
  • 00:11:37.353 --> 00:11:38.854
  • Friend that lived not far from me. his wife worked for me. and
  • 00:11:38.921 --> 00:11:42.391
  • Me. his wife worked for me. and anyway, this... this wife, she
  • 00:11:42.458 --> 00:11:45.728
  • Anyway, this... this wife, she died of cancer. she was a chain
  • 00:11:45.795 --> 00:11:48.364
  • Died of cancer. she was a chain smoker, and she actually got
  • 00:11:48.430 --> 00:11:51.133
  • Smoker, and she actually got surgery done, had a tracheotomy
  • 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.502
  • Surgery done, had a tracheotomy put in, and she would hold a
  • 00:11:53.569 --> 00:11:55.437
  • Put in, and she would hold a cigarette up to her trach and...
  • 00:11:55.504 --> 00:11:58.174
  • Cigarette up to her trach and... and smoke through that. and
  • 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.409
  • And smoke through that. and anyway, i prayed with her, but
  • 00:12:00.476 --> 00:12:02.411
  • Anyway, i prayed with her, but becau... you know, there are
  • 00:12:02.478 --> 00:12:03.679
  • Becau... you know, there are consequences to your actions,
  • 00:12:03.746 --> 00:12:05.781
  • Consequences to your actions, and if you're smoking like that,
  • 00:12:05.848 --> 00:12:07.349
  • And if you're smoking like that, it's going to do... have an
  • 00:12:07.416 --> 00:12:09.118
  • It's going to do... have an effect on your lungs. and so
  • 00:12:09.185 --> 00:12:10.553
  • Effect on your lungs. and so this woman didn't receive her
  • 00:12:10.619 --> 00:12:12.621
  • This woman didn't receive her total healing. and i actually
  • 00:12:12.688 --> 00:12:14.190
  • Total healing. and i actually was with her the day that she
  • 00:12:14.256 --> 00:12:15.624
  • Was with her the day that she died. i went to the hospital.
  • 00:12:15.691 --> 00:12:17.993
  • Died. i went to the hospital. and i told them, i said, you
  • 00:12:18.060 --> 00:12:19.361
  • And i told them, i said, you know, we've prayed and we
  • 00:12:19.428 --> 00:12:20.496
  • Know, we've prayed and we believed for healing, but there
  • 00:12:20.563 --> 00:12:22.031
  • Believed for healing, but there are just consequences to your
  • 00:12:22.097 --> 00:12:24.633
  • Are just consequences to your actions. and i said, you've
  • 00:12:24.700 --> 00:12:26.669
  • Actions. and i said, you've destroyed your lungs, but i
  • 00:12:26.735 --> 00:12:28.771
  • Destroyed your lungs, but i said, you certainly don't have
  • 00:12:28.838 --> 00:12:30.172
  • Said, you certainly don't have to go out in pain. she was in so
  • 00:12:30.239 --> 00:12:32.208
  • To go out in pain. she was in so much pain that she could barely
  • 00:12:32.274 --> 00:12:34.310
  • Much pain that she could barely tolerate it. so i prayed with
  • 00:12:34.376 --> 00:12:36.111
  • Tolerate it. so i prayed with her, and i mean, immediately the
  • 00:12:36.178 --> 00:12:37.913
  • Her, and i mean, immediately the pain left and she was completely
  • 00:12:37.980 --> 00:12:40.516
  • Pain left and she was completely at ease. and i prayed with her,
  • 00:12:40.583 --> 00:12:42.952
  • At ease. and i prayed with her, and when i left the hotel...
  • 00:12:43.018 --> 00:12:45.120
  • And when i left the hotel... when i left the hospital room,
  • 00:12:45.187 --> 00:12:46.856
  • When i left the hospital room, she was rejoicing. and just
  • 00:12:46.922 --> 00:12:48.257
  • She was rejoicing. and just a few hours later, she just
  • 00:12:48.324 --> 00:12:50.092
  • A few hours later, she just passed, but she was totally
  • 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:51.861
  • Passed, but she was totally out of pain. anyway, that's a
  • 00:12:51.927 --> 00:12:53.929
  • Out of pain. anyway, that's a separate story about why
  • 00:12:53.996 --> 00:12:55.364
  • Separate story about why all of that happened. but
  • 00:12:55.431 --> 00:12:56.198
  • All of that happened. but the point i was trying to
  • 00:12:56.265 --> 00:12:57.099
  • The point i was trying to bring up is that her husband
  • 00:12:57.166 --> 00:12:59.335
  • Bring up is that her husband just went into a tailspin. and
  • 00:12:59.401 --> 00:13:01.704
  • Just went into a tailspin. and they were so close. i mean, they
  • 00:13:01.770 --> 00:13:03.505
  • They were so close. i mean, they did everything together. and he,
  • 00:13:03.572 --> 00:13:05.841
  • Did everything together. and he, at her memorial service, he got
  • 00:13:05.908 --> 00:13:07.710
  • At her memorial service, he got up and sang this song that he
  • 00:13:07.776 --> 00:13:09.411
  • Up and sang this song that he would sing to her every day.
  • 00:13:09.478 --> 00:13:11.580
  • Would sing to her every day. they were just in love with each
  • 00:13:11.647 --> 00:13:12.781
  • They were just in love with each other. and he would sing this
  • 00:13:12.848 --> 00:13:14.416
  • Other. and he would sing this little romantic song to her
  • 00:13:14.483 --> 00:13:16.352
  • Little romantic song to her every day. and i mean, for six
  • 00:13:16.418 --> 00:13:18.087
  • Every day. and i mean, for six months or something like that,
  • 00:13:18.153 --> 00:13:20.022
  • Months or something like that, this guy was in a tailspin, and
  • 00:13:20.089 --> 00:13:22.992
  • This guy was in a tailspin, and everything that we did trying
  • 00:13:23.058 --> 00:13:24.493
  • Everything that we did trying to help him just didn't seem to
  • 00:13:24.560 --> 00:13:26.395
  • To help him just didn't seem to bring him out of it. and then
  • 00:13:26.462 --> 00:13:28.664
  • Bring him out of it. and then one day i went over to see him,
  • 00:13:28.731 --> 00:13:30.799
  • One day i went over to see him, and he was just rejoicing and
  • 00:13:30.866 --> 00:13:32.668
  • And he was just rejoicing and talking about how good god is.
  • 00:13:32.735 --> 00:13:35.204
  • Talking about how good god is. and i said, what happened to
  • 00:13:35.271 --> 00:13:36.839
  • And i said, what happened to you? and he says, i was just to
  • 00:13:36.906 --> 00:13:39.441
  • You? and he says, i was just to a place to where i couldn't live
  • 00:13:39.508 --> 00:13:40.976
  • A place to where i couldn't live the way i was living, and i went
  • 00:13:41.043 --> 00:13:42.444
  • The way i was living, and i went to the lord, and just like i'm
  • 00:13:42.511 --> 00:13:44.213
  • To the lord, and just like i'm talking about right here, he
  • 00:13:44.280 --> 00:13:45.381
  • Talking about right here, he just cast his care and he says,
  • 00:13:45.447 --> 00:13:46.749
  • Just cast his care and he says, god, i can't live with this
  • 00:13:46.815 --> 00:13:48.751
  • God, i can't live with this grief, i've got to have you take
  • 00:13:48.817 --> 00:13:51.954
  • Grief, i've got to have you take it away. and he said that the
  • 00:13:52.021 --> 00:13:53.322
  • It away. and he said that the love of god came into him in
  • 00:13:53.389 --> 00:13:55.724
  • Love of god came into him in such a strong way that he said,
  • 00:13:55.791 --> 00:13:58.427
  • Such a strong way that he said, he couldn't tell many people. he
  • 00:13:58.494 --> 00:13:59.762
  • He couldn't tell many people. he knew that i would understand,
  • 00:13:59.828 --> 00:14:00.996
  • Knew that i would understand, but the average person, he
  • 00:14:01.063 --> 00:14:02.031
  • But the average person, he couldn't explain this to. but
  • 00:14:02.097 --> 00:14:03.232
  • Couldn't explain this to. but he says he is happier than he
  • 00:14:03.299 --> 00:14:05.634
  • He says he is happier than he had ever been in his life. that
  • 00:14:05.701 --> 00:14:08.504
  • Had ever been in his life. that going through the loss of his
  • 00:14:08.570 --> 00:14:10.005
  • Going through the loss of his wife was the greatest thing that
  • 00:14:10.072 --> 00:14:11.874
  • Wife was the greatest thing that ever happened to him in his
  • 00:14:11.941 --> 00:14:13.242
  • Ever happened to him in his personal relationship with god,
  • 00:14:13.309 --> 00:14:15.444
  • Personal relationship with god, because it made him turn to the
  • 00:14:15.511 --> 00:14:16.979
  • Because it made him turn to the lord, and he says, man, i've got
  • 00:14:17.046 --> 00:14:19.515
  • Lord, and he says, man, i've got joy that i've never even thought
  • 00:14:19.581 --> 00:14:21.050
  • Joy that i've never even thought possible before. and the guy is
  • 00:14:21.116 --> 00:14:23.252
  • Possible before. and the guy is just rejoicing. now he's now
  • 00:14:23.319 --> 00:14:24.887
  • Just rejoicing. now he's now gone on to be with the lord.
  • 00:14:24.954 --> 00:14:26.088
  • Gone on to be with the lord. this was quite a few years ago.
  • 00:14:26.155 --> 00:14:28.057
  • This was quite a few years ago. but i'm saying that that just
  • 00:14:28.123 --> 00:14:29.692
  • But i'm saying that that just shows you that, again, it
  • 00:14:29.758 --> 00:14:31.794
  • Shows you that, again, it doesn't matter what it is
  • 00:14:31.860 --> 00:14:32.995
  • Doesn't matter what it is that you're dealing with.
  • 00:14:33.062 --> 00:14:34.530
  • The scripture says, humble
  • 00:14:34.596 --> 00:14:36.031
  • The scripture says, humble yourself, come before god,
  • 00:14:36.098 --> 00:14:37.900
  • Yourself, come before god, cast those cares over on
  • 00:14:37.967 --> 00:14:39.601
  • Cast those cares over on the lord, and god will
  • 00:14:39.668 --> 00:14:41.403
  • Fill you with his love and with
  • 00:14:41.470 --> 00:14:43.839
  • Fill you with his love and with his acceptance so much that
  • 00:14:43.906 --> 00:14:45.507
  • His acceptance so much that it really doesn't matter what
  • 00:14:45.574 --> 00:14:46.775
  • It really doesn't matter what anybody else says. this is one
  • 00:14:46.842 --> 00:14:49.278
  • Anybody else says. this is one of the ways that i deal with the
  • 00:14:49.345 --> 00:14:52.281
  • Of the ways that i deal with the criticism that comes at me. you
  • 00:14:52.348 --> 00:14:54.149
  • Know, through this teaching, i'm
  • 00:14:54.817 --> 00:14:56.151
  • Trying to encourage people and
  • 00:14:56.151 --> 00:14:57.820
  • Tell you how to be happy and how
  • 00:14:57.820 --> 00:14:59.355
  • To walk in joy and peace, and
  • 00:14:59.355 --> 00:15:01.423
  • Yet i'll have people hate me,
  • 00:15:01.490 --> 00:15:02.992
  • Yet i'll have people hate me, i'll have terrible things said,
  • 00:15:03.058 --> 00:15:04.526
  • I'll have terrible things said, i'll have people who have been
  • 00:15:04.593 --> 00:15:06.595
  • I'll have people who have been embracing their pain and somehow
  • 00:15:06.662 --> 00:15:09.231
  • Embracing their pain and somehow or another feeling that that's
  • 00:15:09.298 --> 00:15:10.432
  • Or another feeling that that's the proper thing to do, they
  • 00:15:10.499 --> 00:15:12.301
  • The proper thing to do, they will hate me for this, and
  • 00:15:12.368 --> 00:15:13.502
  • Will hate me for this, and they'll criticize me over it.
  • 00:15:13.569 --> 00:15:15.004
  • They'll criticize me over it. and so i'll get a lot of hate
  • 00:15:15.070 --> 00:15:16.405
  • And so i'll get a lot of hate mail. and you know the way that
  • 00:15:16.472 --> 00:15:18.307
  • Mail. and you know the way that i deal with that? is that i just
  • 00:15:18.374 --> 00:15:20.242
  • I deal with that? is that i just go to the lord and cast my care
  • 00:15:20.309 --> 00:15:22.544
  • Go to the lord and cast my care over on him. if you ever get to
  • 00:15:22.611 --> 00:15:24.646
  • Over on him. if you ever get to a place that you like people to
  • 00:15:24.713 --> 00:15:26.415
  • A place that you like people to reject you, i think something's
  • 00:15:26.482 --> 00:15:28.384
  • Reject you, i think something's wrong with you, because god made
  • 00:15:28.450 --> 00:15:29.918
  • Wrong with you, because god made us for fellowship, and nobody
  • 00:15:29.985 --> 00:15:32.121
  • Us for fellowship, and nobody likes rejection. so i'm not
  • 00:15:32.187 --> 00:15:34.189
  • Likes rejection. so i'm not saying you ought to ever get to
  • 00:15:34.256 --> 00:15:35.324
  • Saying you ought to ever get to where you enjoy rejection, but
  • 00:15:35.391 --> 00:15:37.893
  • Where you enjoy rejection, but you should get to a place to
  • 00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:39.661
  • You should get to a place to where you aren't going to let
  • 00:15:39.728 --> 00:15:40.629
  • Where you aren't going to let your emotions dominate you, and
  • 00:15:40.696 --> 00:15:42.998
  • Your emotions dominate you, and you can go to the lord and cast
  • 00:15:43.065 --> 00:15:44.366
  • You can go to the lord and cast your care over on the lord.
  • 00:15:44.433 --> 00:15:45.734
  • Your care over on the lord. and so this is how i deal with
  • 00:15:45.801 --> 00:15:47.202
  • And so this is how i deal with things. when people reject me, i
  • 00:15:47.269 --> 00:15:48.637
  • Things. when people reject me, i just go back to my relationship
  • 00:15:48.704 --> 00:15:50.739
  • Just go back to my relationship with the lord. i go to loving on
  • 00:15:50.806 --> 00:15:52.307
  • With the lord. i go to loving on god, and i let his love and his
  • 00:15:52.374 --> 00:15:55.577
  • God, and i let his love and his acceptance wash over me, and
  • 00:15:55.644 --> 00:15:58.580
  • Acceptance wash over me, and god almighty is so infinitely
  • 00:15:58.647 --> 00:16:01.283
  • God almighty is so infinitely greater than anybody else who's
  • 00:16:01.350 --> 00:16:03.819
  • Greater than anybody else who's rejecting me that it just, in
  • 00:16:03.886 --> 00:16:05.821
  • Rejecting me that it just, in comparison, it makes it no big
  • 00:16:05.888 --> 00:16:08.090
  • Comparison, it makes it no big deal. i don't know if you can
  • 00:16:08.157 --> 00:16:11.527
  • Deal. i don't know if you can understand that or appreciate
  • 00:16:11.593 --> 00:16:12.628
  • Understand that or appreciate it, but that's how i deal with
  • 00:16:12.694 --> 00:16:13.762
  • It, but that's how i deal with stuff. i actually had a man
  • 00:16:13.829 --> 00:16:15.731
  • Stuff. i actually had a man come up to me one time after
  • 00:16:15.798 --> 00:16:17.132
  • Come up to me one time after i ministered, and he was just
  • 00:16:17.199 --> 00:16:18.300
  • I ministered, and he was just reading me the riot act and...
  • 00:16:18.367 --> 00:16:19.968
  • Reading me the riot act and... and criticizing me over
  • 00:16:20.035 --> 00:16:22.004
  • And criticizing me over everything i said, and some of
  • 00:16:22.071 --> 00:16:23.605
  • Everything i said, and some of what he said was wrong. i
  • 00:16:23.672 --> 00:16:25.874
  • What he said was wrong. i probably did make some mistakes;
  • 00:16:25.941 --> 00:16:27.276
  • Probably did make some mistakes; i don't do everything right.
  • 00:16:27.342 --> 00:16:28.343
  • I don't do everything right. but anyway, this guy was just
  • 00:16:28.410 --> 00:16:29.511
  • But anyway, this guy was just letting me have it. and you
  • 00:16:29.578 --> 00:16:31.313
  • Letting me have it. and you know, right in the middle of him
  • 00:16:31.380 --> 00:16:32.548
  • Know, right in the middle of him talking to me, i just stopped
  • 00:16:32.614 --> 00:16:33.749
  • Talking to me, i just stopped him, and i said, who's... who
  • 00:16:33.816 --> 00:16:34.817
  • Him, and i said, who's... who died and made you god? and he
  • 00:16:34.883 --> 00:16:37.219
  • Died and made you god? and he looked at me and says, like what
  • 00:16:37.286 --> 00:16:38.287
  • Looked at me and says, like what do you mean? i said, you aren't
  • 00:16:38.353 --> 00:16:39.888
  • Do you mean? i said, you aren't god. i don't have to please you,
  • 00:16:39.955 --> 00:16:41.457
  • God. i don't have to please you, i don't care what you think. he
  • 00:16:41.523 --> 00:16:43.225
  • I don't care what you think. he said, well you should. and he
  • 00:16:43.292 --> 00:16:44.526
  • Said, well you should. and he got really offended that i
  • 00:16:44.593 --> 00:16:45.928
  • Got really offended that i wasn't honoring him and
  • 00:16:45.994 --> 00:16:47.362
  • Wasn't honoring him and esteeming him. and i said,
  • 00:16:47.429 --> 00:16:48.464
  • Esteeming him. and i said, compared to god you're nobody. i
  • 00:16:48.530 --> 00:16:50.999
  • Compared to god you're nobody. i said, god almighty loves me.
  • 00:16:51.066 --> 00:16:53.235
  • Said, god almighty loves me. god's the one that called me to
  • 00:16:53.302 --> 00:16:54.536
  • God's the one that called me to minister, and i don't always do
  • 00:16:54.603 --> 00:16:55.938
  • Minister, and i don't always do it perfectly, but man, i'm doing
  • 00:16:56.004 --> 00:16:57.406
  • It perfectly, but man, i'm doing it from the best of my ability,
  • 00:16:57.473 --> 00:16:59.475
  • It from the best of my ability, and god almighty accepts me, so
  • 00:16:59.541 --> 00:17:01.743
  • And god almighty accepts me, so who are you? i just disesteem
  • 00:17:01.810 --> 00:17:04.146
  • Who are you? i just disesteem all of your criticism. and it
  • 00:17:04.213 --> 00:17:06.148
  • All of your criticism. and it upset the guy, and he left. but
  • 00:17:06.215 --> 00:17:07.950
  • Upset the guy, and he left. but that's the way that i deal with
  • 00:17:08.016 --> 00:17:09.284
  • That's the way that i deal with things, is i just put it into
  • 00:17:09.351 --> 00:17:11.987
  • Things, is i just put it into comparison into relationship
  • 00:17:12.054 --> 00:17:14.022
  • Comparison into relationship with the lord. you know, let me
  • 00:17:14.089 --> 00:17:15.324
  • With the lord. you know, let me use another passage of scripture
  • 00:17:15.390 --> 00:17:16.792
  • Use another passage of scripture over here talking about paul.
  • 00:17:16.859 --> 00:17:19.795
  • Over here talking about paul. this is in 2 corinthians,
  • 00:17:19.862 --> 00:17:22.164
  • This is in 2 corinthians, chapter 4. and paul, in the
  • 00:17:22.231 --> 00:17:23.832
  • Chapter 4. and paul, in the first part of that chapter was
  • 00:17:23.899 --> 00:17:25.334
  • First part of that chapter was talking about all of the things
  • 00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:27.336
  • Talking about all of the things that he had suffered,
  • 00:17:27.402 --> 00:17:28.437
  • But he said this in verse 17. he
  • 00:17:28.504 --> 00:17:31.240
  • But he said this in verse 17. he says, for our light affliction,
  • 00:17:31.306 --> 00:17:33.275
  • Says, for our light affliction, which is but for a moment,
  • 00:17:33.342 --> 00:17:35.177
  • Which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more
  • 00:17:35.244 --> 00:17:36.812
  • Worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight
  • 00:17:36.879 --> 00:17:38.580
  • Exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at
  • 00:17:38.647 --> 00:17:40.616
  • Of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen,
  • 00:17:40.682 --> 00:17:41.984
  • The things which are seen, but at the things which are
  • 00:17:42.050 --> 00:17:43.519
  • But at the things which are not seen: for the things which
  • 00:17:43.585 --> 00:17:45.087
  • Not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; that
  • 00:17:45.154 --> 00:17:46.755
  • Are seen are temporal; that means temporary, but the
  • 00:17:46.822 --> 00:17:48.257
  • Means temporary, but the things which are not seen
  • 00:17:48.323 --> 00:17:49.725
  • Things which are not seen are eternal. so here's the
  • 00:17:49.791 --> 00:17:51.693
  • Apostle paul talking about all
  • 00:17:51.760 --> 00:17:53.328
  • Apostle paul talking about all of the things that he suffered,
  • 00:17:53.395 --> 00:17:54.396
  • Of the things that he suffered, and he said, it's just a light
  • 00:17:54.463 --> 00:17:55.597
  • And he said, it's just a light affliction. do you know some
  • 00:17:55.664 --> 00:17:58.400
  • Affliction. do you know some people might think, well that's
  • 00:17:58.467 --> 00:17:59.535
  • People might think, well that's the reason paul could say that
  • 00:17:59.601 --> 00:18:00.669
  • The reason paul could say that is because he didn't have the
  • 00:18:00.736 --> 00:18:01.637
  • Is because he didn't have the problems that i've got. i'm not
  • 00:18:01.703 --> 00:18:03.338
  • Problems that i've got. i'm not going to take time, but if you
  • 00:18:03.405 --> 00:18:04.339
  • Going to take time, but if you turn over to 2 corinthians,
  • 00:18:04.406 --> 00:18:05.641
  • Turn over to 2 corinthians, chapter 11, he mentions some of
  • 00:18:05.707 --> 00:18:07.743
  • Chapter 11, he mentions some of his problems, which is being
  • 00:18:07.809 --> 00:18:09.645
  • His problems, which is being stoned and left for dead, beaten
  • 00:18:09.711 --> 00:18:12.047
  • Stoned and left for dead, beaten with rods, beaten with whips,
  • 00:18:12.114 --> 00:18:14.483
  • With rods, beaten with whips, fasting, abuse, rejection, being
  • 00:18:14.550 --> 00:18:18.086
  • Fasting, abuse, rejection, being imprisoned, and on and on and on
  • 00:18:18.153 --> 00:18:19.988
  • Imprisoned, and on and on and on it goes. paul suffered more
  • 00:18:20.055 --> 00:18:22.124
  • It goes. paul suffered more things than you and i have ever
  • 00:18:22.191 --> 00:18:23.692
  • Things than you and i have ever suffered, and yet it was just a
  • 00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:24.960
  • Suffered, and yet it was just a light affliction, not because of
  • 00:18:25.027 --> 00:18:27.062
  • Light affliction, not because of what was happening outside, but
  • 00:18:27.129 --> 00:18:28.664
  • What was happening outside, but what... because of what was
  • 00:18:28.730 --> 00:18:29.798
  • What... because of what was happening inside. if you are
  • 00:18:29.865 --> 00:18:32.634
  • Happening inside. if you are being crushed by the pressures
  • 00:18:32.701 --> 00:18:34.469
  • Being crushed by the pressures of this world, it's because of
  • 00:18:34.536 --> 00:18:35.804
  • Of this world, it's because of the vacuum that you have inside.
  • 00:18:35.871 --> 00:18:38.907
  • The vacuum that you have inside. if you get filled up with god, i
  • 00:18:38.974 --> 00:18:41.243
  • If you get filled up with god, i guarantee you, you can withstand
  • 00:18:41.310 --> 00:18:43.078
  • Guarantee you, you can withstand any pressure that will come from
  • 00:18:43.145 --> 00:18:45.047
  • Any pressure that will come from the outside. so here's paul, who
  • 00:18:45.113 --> 00:18:47.249
  • The outside. so here's paul, who had more problems than you and i
  • 00:18:47.316 --> 00:18:49.051
  • Had more problems than you and i ever thought about having, and
  • 00:18:49.117 --> 00:18:50.819
  • Ever thought about having, and yet he just called it a light
  • 00:18:50.886 --> 00:18:52.120
  • Yet he just called it a light affliction. how do you justify
  • 00:18:52.187 --> 00:18:54.089
  • Affliction. how do you justify talking about your heavy burden
  • 00:18:54.156 --> 00:18:55.591
  • Talking about your heavy burden and how terrible everything is
  • 00:18:55.657 --> 00:18:57.059
  • And how terrible everything is for you, and yet you haven't
  • 00:18:57.125 --> 00:18:58.627
  • For you, and yet you haven't suffered near as much as the
  • 00:18:58.694 --> 00:18:59.928
  • Suffered near as much as the apostle paul suffered? so this
  • 00:18:59.995 --> 00:19:02.431
  • Apostle paul suffered? so this shows you that it's not what's
  • 00:19:02.497 --> 00:19:04.166
  • Shows you that it's not what's happening to you that causes all
  • 00:19:04.233 --> 00:19:06.101
  • Happening to you that causes all of these feelings and emotions,
  • 00:19:06.168 --> 00:19:07.536
  • Of these feelings and emotions, it's the way you think, it's the
  • 00:19:07.603 --> 00:19:08.971
  • It's the way you think, it's the way you process what happens to
  • 00:19:09.037 --> 00:19:11.306
  • Way you process what happens to you that causes the problem.
  • 00:19:11.373 --> 00:19:13.208
  • So he says, it's a light
  • 00:19:13.275 --> 00:19:14.476
  • So he says, it's a light affliction, and then he
  • 00:19:14.543 --> 00:19:15.644
  • Affliction, and then he gives us two reasons. he
  • 00:19:15.711 --> 00:19:17.045
  • Gives us two reasons. he says, it's but for a moment,
  • 00:19:17.112 --> 00:19:19.314
  • Says, it's but for a moment, and it works for us a far
  • 00:19:19.381 --> 00:19:21.116
  • And it works for us a far more exceeding and eternal
  • 00:19:21.183 --> 00:19:22.484
  • More exceeding and eternal weight of glory. did you know
  • 00:19:22.551 --> 00:19:24.353
  • If for some reason, you
  • 00:19:24.419 --> 00:19:26.755
  • If for some reason, you just had a life that 60,
  • 00:19:26.822 --> 00:19:28.857
  • Just had a life that 60, 70 years, whatever, it's just
  • 00:19:28.924 --> 00:19:31.059
  • 70 years, whatever, it's just nothing but pain and suffering,
  • 00:19:31.126 --> 00:19:32.694
  • I don't believe that that's
  • 00:19:34.096 --> 00:19:35.097
  • I don't believe that that's totally accurate, everybody has
  • 00:19:35.163 --> 00:19:37.065
  • Totally accurate, everybody has a lot of good things happen in
  • 00:19:37.132 --> 00:19:38.533
  • A lot of good things happen in their life, but sometimes people
  • 00:19:38.600 --> 00:19:41.203
  • Their life, but sometimes people suffer more than others. but
  • 00:19:41.270 --> 00:19:42.604
  • Suffer more than others. but even if you were going through
  • 00:19:42.671 --> 00:19:43.905
  • Even if you were going through something for 60 or 70 years,
  • 00:19:43.972 --> 00:19:45.641
  • Something for 60 or 70 years, did you know compared to
  • 00:19:45.707 --> 00:19:46.708
  • Did you know compared to eternity, it's just like the
  • 00:19:46.775 --> 00:19:48.543
  • Eternity, it's just like the snap of a finger. and i know
  • 00:19:48.610 --> 00:19:51.880
  • Snap of a finger. and i know that that's not the way most
  • 00:19:51.947 --> 00:19:52.914
  • That that's not the way most people think. most people don't
  • 00:19:52.981 --> 00:19:54.383
  • People think. most people don't think about eternity, and
  • 00:19:54.449 --> 00:19:55.584
  • Think about eternity, and they're just focused on this
  • 00:19:55.651 --> 00:19:56.585
  • They're just focused on this life. but the truth is that
  • 00:19:56.652 --> 00:19:58.487
  • Life. but the truth is that we've got an eternity, we're
  • 00:19:58.553 --> 00:19:59.788
  • We've got an eternity, we're going to live in heaven where
  • 00:19:59.855 --> 00:20:00.722
  • Going to live in heaven where there won't be any sorrow or
  • 00:20:00.789 --> 00:20:02.257
  • Pain, and the former things will
  • 00:20:02.324 --> 00:20:04.159
  • Pain, and the former things will not even come to mind, is what
  • 00:20:04.226 --> 00:20:06.728
  • Not even come to mind, is what it says over in the latter part
  • 00:20:06.795 --> 00:20:08.363
  • It says over in the latter part of isaiah. man, we've got...
  • 00:20:08.430 --> 00:20:10.599
  • Our future is so bright, we've
  • 00:20:10.666 --> 00:20:11.933
  • Our future is so bright, we've got to squint to look at it.
  • 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:13.735
  • Got to squint to look at it. and so, if you are thinking
  • 00:20:13.802 --> 00:20:15.704
  • And so, if you are thinking properly and looking at
  • 00:20:15.771 --> 00:20:17.005
  • Properly and looking at things in the light of eternity,
  • 00:20:17.072 --> 00:20:18.774
  • Things in the light of eternity, well then the problems that
  • 00:20:18.840 --> 00:20:20.442
  • Well then the problems that we're having is nothing in
  • 00:20:20.509 --> 00:20:22.210
  • We're having is nothing in comparison. so that's one
  • 00:20:22.277 --> 00:20:23.445
  • Comparison. so that's one way he shrunk it down to where
  • 00:20:23.512 --> 00:20:25.380
  • Way he shrunk it down to where it was just a light affliction.
  • 00:20:25.447 --> 00:20:26.748
  • The second thing, he says,
  • 00:20:26.815 --> 00:20:28.050
  • The second thing, he says, while we look not at the
  • 00:20:28.116 --> 00:20:29.551
  • While we look not at the things which are seen, but at
  • 00:20:29.618 --> 00:20:31.320
  • Things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen:
  • 00:20:31.386 --> 00:20:32.587
  • The things which are not seen: for the things which are seen
  • 00:20:32.654 --> 00:20:33.755
  • For the things which are seen are temporal; or temporary, but
  • 00:20:33.822 --> 00:20:35.824
  • Are temporal; or temporary, but the things which are not seen
  • 00:20:35.891 --> 00:20:37.059
  • The things which are not seen are eternal. so here's another
  • 00:20:37.125 --> 00:20:38.794
  • Way that you deal with negative
  • 00:20:38.860 --> 00:20:40.629
  • Way that you deal with negative emotions. if you really have
  • 00:20:40.696 --> 00:20:43.398
  • Emotions. if you really have negative emotions, not caused by
  • 00:20:43.465 --> 00:20:45.400
  • Negative emotions, not caused by you just being paranoid and
  • 00:20:45.467 --> 00:20:47.436
  • You just being paranoid and being negative and always
  • 00:20:47.502 --> 00:20:49.237
  • Being negative and always looking for the worst side of
  • 00:20:49.304 --> 00:20:50.372
  • Looking for the worst side of everything, but if you've really
  • 00:20:50.439 --> 00:20:51.440
  • Everything, but if you've really got some serious problems that
  • 00:20:51.506 --> 00:20:53.508
  • Got some serious problems that are staring you in the face, one
  • 00:20:53.575 --> 00:20:55.477
  • Are staring you in the face, one of the things you have to do is
  • 00:20:55.544 --> 00:20:56.611
  • Of the things you have to do is to look beyond them and focus on
  • 00:20:56.678 --> 00:20:59.848
  • To look beyond them and focus on the promises of god. if nothing
  • 00:20:59.915 --> 00:21:01.316
  • The promises of god. if nothing else, focus on heaven and
  • 00:21:01.383 --> 00:21:03.151
  • Else, focus on heaven and recognize, it's just temporary
  • 00:21:03.218 --> 00:21:04.820
  • Recognize, it's just temporary what's happening to you.
  • 00:21:04.886 --> 00:21:06.488
  • What's happening to you. you know, i used to have a
  • 00:21:06.555 --> 00:21:07.322
  • You know, i used to have a 35-millimeter camera where you
  • 00:21:07.389 --> 00:21:09.191
  • 35-millimeter camera where you would focus through the lens,
  • 00:21:09.257 --> 00:21:11.360
  • Would focus through the lens, and we would go to the zoo, and
  • 00:21:11.426 --> 00:21:12.828
  • And we would go to the zoo, and you could either focus on the
  • 00:21:12.894 --> 00:21:14.229
  • You could either focus on the animal that was in the cage, and
  • 00:21:14.296 --> 00:21:16.832
  • Animal that was in the cage, and the chain-link fence would just
  • 00:21:16.898 --> 00:21:18.867
  • The chain-link fence would just totally disappear, or you could
  • 00:21:18.934 --> 00:21:21.136
  • Totally disappear, or you could focus on the fence and the
  • 00:21:21.203 --> 00:21:23.338
  • Focus on the fence and the animal would disappear. your
  • 00:21:23.405 --> 00:21:25.240
  • Animal would disappear. your focus is what determines what
  • 00:21:25.307 --> 00:21:27.275
  • Focus is what determines what dominates you. and sad to say,
  • 00:21:27.342 --> 00:21:29.311
  • Dominates you. and sad to say, most people are focused on their
  • 00:21:29.378 --> 00:21:30.846
  • Most people are focused on their problems, but you could be like
  • 00:21:30.912 --> 00:21:32.381
  • Problems, but you could be like paul here to where you aren't
  • 00:21:32.447 --> 00:21:33.949
  • Paul here to where you aren't focused on the things that are
  • 00:21:34.015 --> 00:21:35.751
  • Focused on the things that are seen, you're looking beyond
  • 00:21:35.817 --> 00:21:37.619
  • Seen, you're looking beyond them, you're looking and
  • 00:21:37.686 --> 00:21:38.587
  • Them, you're looking and recognizing that if you are
  • 00:21:38.653 --> 00:21:39.855
  • Recognizing that if you are suffering for the cause of the
  • 00:21:39.921 --> 00:21:41.223
  • Suffering for the cause of the lord, god has taken account of
  • 00:21:41.289 --> 00:21:43.392
  • Lord, god has taken account of all of it, and he's going to
  • 00:21:43.458 --> 00:21:44.559
  • All of it, and he's going to compensate you, more than
  • 00:21:44.626 --> 00:21:46.061
  • Compensate you, more than compensate you. matter of
  • 00:21:46.128 --> 00:21:47.763
  • Compensate you. matter of fact, the apostle paul was
  • 00:21:47.829 --> 00:21:49.531
  • Fact, the apostle paul was persecuted so much, and yet god
  • 00:21:49.598 --> 00:21:51.533
  • Persecuted so much, and yet god comforted him in all of his
  • 00:21:51.600 --> 00:21:53.168
  • Comforted him in all of his tribulation, so much so that
  • 00:21:53.235 --> 00:21:54.603
  • In philippians, chapter 3, he
  • 00:21:54.669 --> 00:21:56.037
  • In philippians, chapter 3, he said he longed for the
  • 00:21:56.104 --> 00:21:57.639
  • Said he longed for the fellowship of his sufferings.
  • 00:21:57.706 --> 00:21:59.908
  • Fellowship of his sufferings. paul wasn't longing
  • 00:21:59.975 --> 00:22:01.410
  • For suffering, but he...
  • 00:22:01.476 --> 00:22:03.211
  • For suffering, but he... he had suffered and had
  • 00:22:03.278 --> 00:22:04.880
  • He had suffered and had god compensate and comfort
  • 00:22:04.946 --> 00:22:07.315
  • God compensate and comfort him so much that he actually
  • 00:22:07.382 --> 00:22:08.984
  • Him so much that he actually was looking forward to the
  • 00:22:09.050 --> 00:22:10.685
  • Was looking forward to the comfort that came from god when
  • 00:22:10.752 --> 00:22:12.320
  • Comfort that came from god when he was persecuted. in the 16th
  • 00:22:12.387 --> 00:22:14.289
  • He was persecuted. in the 16th chapter of the book of acts,
  • 00:22:14.356 --> 00:22:15.724
  • Chapter of the book of acts, he was thrown in prison in the
  • 00:22:15.791 --> 00:22:17.325
  • He was thrown in prison in the dungeon in the lowest part of
  • 00:22:17.392 --> 00:22:18.760
  • Dungeon in the lowest part of the prison, his feet and hands
  • 00:22:18.827 --> 00:22:20.128
  • The prison, his feet and hands in the stocks, and at midnight
  • 00:22:20.195 --> 00:22:22.431
  • In the stocks, and at midnight he went to singing and praising
  • 00:22:22.497 --> 00:22:24.332
  • He went to singing and praising god. and he wasn't doing it just
  • 00:22:24.399 --> 00:22:27.002
  • God. and he wasn't doing it just to get out of prison, because
  • 00:22:27.068 --> 00:22:28.437
  • To get out of prison, because when the earthquake came and it
  • 00:22:28.503 --> 00:22:30.405
  • When the earthquake came and it loosed him and all of the prison
  • 00:22:30.472 --> 00:22:32.040
  • Loosed him and all of the prison doors were open, nobody left,
  • 00:22:32.107 --> 00:22:34.009
  • Doors were open, nobody left, they stayed. he wasn't praising
  • 00:22:34.075 --> 00:22:36.044
  • They stayed. he wasn't praising god to get something; he was
  • 00:22:36.111 --> 00:22:37.379
  • God to get something; he was praising god because he really
  • 00:22:37.446 --> 00:22:39.281
  • Praising god because he really was enjoying the presence and
  • 00:22:39.347 --> 00:22:41.450
  • Was enjoying the presence and the fellowship of the lord. you
  • 00:22:41.516 --> 00:22:43.418
  • The fellowship of the lord. you can get to a place to where even
  • 00:22:43.485 --> 00:22:44.953
  • Can get to a place to where even in the midst of your suffering,
  • 00:22:45.020 --> 00:22:46.822
  • In the midst of your suffering, god's comfort is right there.
