00:00:00.683 --> 00:00:14.931
Pastor matt hagee: last week,
00:00:14.998 --> 00:00:15.865
Pastor matt hagee: last week, we considered what the bible
00:00:15.932 --> 00:00:16.833
We considered what the bible has to say about the cause
00:00:16.900 --> 00:00:20.403
Has to say about the cause of depression.
00:00:20.470 --> 00:00:22.338
Of depression. proverbs 12:25,
00:00:22.405 --> 00:00:24.374
Proverbs 12:25, it very clearly says that
00:00:24.441 --> 00:00:25.642
It very clearly says that anxiety in the heart
00:00:25.708 --> 00:00:27.577
Anxiety in the heart of a man causes depression,
00:00:27.644 --> 00:00:30.013
Of a man causes depression, but a good word..."
00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:31.448
But a good word..." somebody say,
00:00:31.514 --> 00:00:32.082
Somebody say, "a good word."
00:00:32.148 --> 00:00:33.583
"a good word." [a good word.]
00:00:33.650 --> 00:00:34.484
[a good word.] not every word is good.
00:00:34.551 --> 00:00:36.886
Not every word is good. but when you receive a good
00:00:36.953 --> 00:00:38.354
But when you receive a good word from god's word,
00:00:38.421 --> 00:00:40.557
Word from god's word, it drives depression out.
00:00:40.623 --> 00:00:43.026
It drives depression out. "a good word makes it glad."
00:00:43.093 --> 00:00:45.161
"a good word makes it glad." god's word is the cure that
00:00:45.228 --> 00:00:47.297
God's word is the cure that he has prescribed for each
00:00:47.363 --> 00:00:49.432
He has prescribed for each and every one us.
00:00:49.499 --> 00:00:51.334
And every one us. it doesn't matter what
00:00:51.401 --> 00:00:52.102
It doesn't matter what your need is.
00:00:52.168 --> 00:00:53.169
Your need is. god's word can cure it.
00:00:53.236 --> 00:00:55.905
God's word can cure it. god's word doesn't treat
00:00:55.972 --> 00:00:57.073
God's word doesn't treat symptoms.
00:00:57.140 --> 00:00:57.974
Symptoms. god's word overcomes
00:00:58.041 --> 00:00:59.442
God's word overcomes the problem.
00:00:59.509 --> 00:01:00.443
The problem. [amen.]
00:01:00.510 --> 00:01:00.877
[amen.] the abundant life that christ
00:01:00.944 --> 00:01:02.312
The abundant life that christ wants to give to every person
00:01:02.378 --> 00:01:04.180
Wants to give to every person who asks for it is the kind of
00:01:04.247 --> 00:01:06.382
Who asks for it is the kind of life that not only fills up
00:01:06.449 --> 00:01:08.218
Life that not only fills up every deficiency,
00:01:08.284 --> 00:01:09.452
Every deficiency, but it lifts the heaviness
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:10.787
But it lifts the heaviness of depression off of you.
00:01:10.854 --> 00:01:13.823
Of depression off of you. [amen.]
00:01:13.890 --> 00:01:14.457
[amen.] but how do you apply it?
00:01:14.524 --> 00:01:16.726
But how do you apply it? have you ever gotten
00:01:16.793 --> 00:01:17.460
Have you ever gotten a prescription,
00:01:17.527 --> 00:01:18.361
A prescription, and the pharmacist says,
00:01:18.428 --> 00:01:19.529
And the pharmacist says, "i need to give you some
00:01:19.596 --> 00:01:20.363
"i need to give you some instructions about when and
00:01:20.430 --> 00:01:21.764
Instructions about when and how to use that medication"?
00:01:21.831 --> 00:01:24.934
How to use that medication"? [yes.]
00:01:25.001 --> 00:01:26.402
[yes.] oh, i guess y'all are
00:01:26.469 --> 00:01:27.003
Oh, i guess y'all are that essential oils crowd.
00:01:27.070 --> 00:01:28.438
That essential oils crowd. y'all don't do none of
00:01:28.505 --> 00:01:29.139
Y'all don't do none of these medications thing.
00:01:29.205 --> 00:01:30.673
These medications thing. (laughter)
00:01:30.740 --> 00:01:32.375
(laughter) well, jesus gives
00:01:32.442 --> 00:01:33.309
Well, jesus gives the prescription.
00:01:33.376 --> 00:01:34.744
The prescription. "these words i have spoken
00:01:34.811 --> 00:01:35.979
"these words i have spoken to you...
00:01:36.045 --> 00:01:36.412
To you... that your joy may be full."
00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:37.747
That your joy may be full." and paul operates
00:01:37.814 --> 00:01:39.682
And paul operates in philippians somewhat like
00:01:39.749 --> 00:01:40.950
In philippians somewhat like the pharmacist who says,
00:01:41.017 --> 00:01:42.085
The pharmacist who says, "here's exactly how you
00:01:42.152 --> 00:01:43.853
"here's exactly how you apply it."
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:45.622
Apply it." he says that there's an issue
00:01:45.688 --> 00:01:47.123
He says that there's an issue with anxiety and your contact
00:01:47.190 --> 00:01:49.559
With anxiety and your contact to the source of power.
00:01:49.626 --> 00:01:52.595
To the source of power. because connection with christ
00:01:52.662 --> 00:01:54.197
Because connection with christ is how you receive the power
00:01:54.264 --> 00:01:55.865
Is how you receive the power to overcome depression.
00:01:55.932 --> 00:01:58.601
To overcome depression. so paul says,
00:01:58.668 --> 00:02:00.069
So paul says, "be anxious for nothing."
00:02:00.136 --> 00:02:02.605
"be anxious for nothing." say that with me.
00:02:02.672 --> 00:02:03.573
Say that with me. "be anxious for nothing."
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.209
"be anxious for nothing." now paul was not speaking
00:02:06.276 --> 00:02:07.944
Now paul was not speaking about the light things of life
00:02:08.011 --> 00:02:09.679
About the light things of life that you don't need to worry
00:02:09.746 --> 00:02:10.780
That you don't need to worry about like where are we going
00:02:10.847 --> 00:02:11.814
About like where are we going to have lunch and is
00:02:11.881 --> 00:02:12.749
To have lunch and is the preacher going to be done
00:02:12.815 --> 00:02:13.616
The preacher going to be done on time.
00:02:13.683 --> 00:02:15.118
On time. (laughter)
00:02:15.185 --> 00:02:16.319
(laughter) paul, when he says,
00:02:16.386 --> 00:02:17.153
Paul, when he says, "be anxious for nothing,"
00:02:17.220 --> 00:02:18.288
"be anxious for nothing," he means it doesn't matter
00:02:18.354 --> 00:02:19.822
He means it doesn't matter what's going on in the world
00:02:19.889 --> 00:02:21.157
What's going on in the world around you,
00:02:21.224 --> 00:02:21.991
Around you, don't let it bother you,
00:02:22.058 --> 00:02:24.494
Don't let it bother you, because you have a source that
00:02:24.561 --> 00:02:25.728
Because you have a source that you're connected to
00:02:25.795 --> 00:02:26.763
You're connected to that's stronger than anything
00:02:26.829 --> 00:02:27.931
That's stronger than anything you'll ever face.
00:02:27.997 --> 00:02:29.199
You'll ever face. [amen.]
00:02:29.265 --> 00:02:31.501
[amen.] now in proverbs 12,
00:02:31.568 --> 00:02:32.835
Now in proverbs 12, last week,
00:02:32.902 --> 00:02:33.603
Last week, the word "anxiety" literally
00:02:33.670 --> 00:02:34.837
The word "anxiety" literally meant heaviness.
00:02:34.904 --> 00:02:35.838
Meant heaviness. it was like a burden that you
00:02:35.905 --> 00:02:36.973
It was like a burden that you were carrying that caused
00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:38.007
Were carrying that caused a man to stoop over whenever

A man to stoop over whenever that anxiety is in your heart.
00:02:39.876 --> 00:02:42.011
That anxiety is in your heart. in this utilization,
00:02:42.078 --> 00:02:44.681
In this utilization, the word "anxious" literally
00:02:44.747 --> 00:02:46.015
The word "anxious" literally means to be divided
00:02:46.082 --> 00:02:47.951
Means to be divided in your thinking.
00:02:48.017 --> 00:02:49.786
In your thinking. it means that you have allowed
00:02:49.852 --> 00:02:51.154
It means that you have allowed concern and worry to come into
00:02:51.221 --> 00:02:52.922
Concern and worry to come into your mind and into your heart,
00:02:52.989 --> 00:02:54.591
Your mind and into your heart, and now you're confused.
00:02:54.657 --> 00:02:57.293
And now you're confused. it means to be separated.
00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.729
It means to be separated. [come on.]
00:02:59.796 --> 00:03:00.396
[come on.] now one of the things that i
00:03:00.463 --> 00:03:01.197
Now one of the things that i noticed as i read research
00:03:01.264 --> 00:03:02.465
Noticed as i read research papers on how many people were
00:03:02.532 --> 00:03:04.033
Papers on how many people were dealing with depression
00:03:04.100 --> 00:03:05.435
Dealing with depression in the world today,
00:03:05.501 --> 00:03:06.636
In the world today, one of the common symptoms
00:03:06.703 --> 00:03:08.104
One of the common symptoms that they all described as
00:03:08.171 --> 00:03:10.273
That they all described as a feeling they carry
00:03:10.340 --> 00:03:11.441
A feeling they carry is that they're separated.
00:03:11.507 --> 00:03:13.309
Is that they're separated. they feel disconnected.
00:03:13.376 --> 00:03:15.245
They feel disconnected. even in a crowd filled with
00:03:15.311 --> 00:03:16.713
Even in a crowd filled with people who know them
00:03:16.779 --> 00:03:18.081
People who know them and love them,
00:03:18.147 --> 00:03:18.881
And love them, when you're depressed,
00:03:18.948 --> 00:03:20.083
When you're depressed, you don't feel like you have
00:03:20.149 --> 00:03:21.351
You don't feel like you have anyone that you can talk to,
00:03:21.417 --> 00:03:22.885
Anyone that you can talk to, and that you're all alone.
00:03:22.952 --> 00:03:25.455
And that you're all alone. it's not the circumstances
00:03:25.521 --> 00:03:26.589
It's not the circumstances and the surroundings
00:03:26.656 --> 00:03:27.490
And the surroundings on the outside.
00:03:27.557 --> 00:03:28.558
On the outside. it's the thing that's dividing
00:03:28.625 --> 00:03:30.126
It's the thing that's dividing you on the inside.
00:03:30.193 --> 00:03:32.829
You on the inside. they've allowed concern
00:03:32.895 --> 00:03:34.497
They've allowed concern to make them anxious.
00:03:34.564 --> 00:03:35.431
To make them anxious. they've allowed worry and fear
00:03:35.498 --> 00:03:37.133
They've allowed worry and fear to flood their heart
00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:38.101
To flood their heart and their mind.
00:03:38.167 --> 00:03:38.735
And their mind. and now they're feeling
00:03:38.801 --> 00:03:39.869
And now they're feeling as though they're not
00:03:39.936 --> 00:03:40.870
As though they're not connected to the reality of
00:03:40.937 --> 00:03:42.272
Connected to the reality of the world that they live in.
00:03:42.338 --> 00:03:43.306
The world that they live in. what you need to know is it
00:03:43.373 --> 00:03:44.741
What you need to know is it doesn't matter what's going on
00:03:44.807 --> 00:03:46.309
Doesn't matter what's going on around you.
00:03:46.376 --> 00:03:47.176
Around you. you still have a god who sits
00:03:47.243 --> 00:03:48.945
You still have a god who sits upon the throne and holds
00:03:49.012 --> 00:03:50.446
Upon the throne and holds this earth in the palm of

This earth in the palm of his hands.
00:03:51.881 --> 00:03:52.615
His hands. he still has the keys to
00:03:52.682 --> 00:03:54.117
He still has the keys to death, hell and the grave.
00:03:54.183 --> 00:03:55.418
Death, hell and the grave. and he still has given you the
00:03:55.485 --> 00:03:56.819
And he still has given you the victory through jesus christ,
00:03:56.886 --> 00:03:58.788
Victory through jesus christ, your savior.
00:03:58.855 --> 00:03:59.555
Your savior. you're never disconnected from
00:03:59.622 --> 00:04:01.791
You're never disconnected from his love,
00:04:01.858 --> 00:04:02.692
His love, because he said,
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:03.393
Because he said, "i will be with you always."
00:04:03.459 --> 00:04:05.094
"i will be with you always." you're never disconnected from
00:04:05.161 --> 00:04:06.663
You're never disconnected from his grace,
00:04:06.729 --> 00:04:07.530
His grace, because where sin did abound,
00:04:07.597 --> 00:04:09.332
Because where sin did abound, grace did that much more
00:04:09.399 --> 00:04:10.566
Grace did that much more abound.
00:04:10.633 --> 00:04:11.100
Abound. you're never disconnected from
00:04:11.167 --> 00:04:12.835
You're never disconnected from his mercy,
00:04:12.902 --> 00:04:13.736
His mercy, because his mercies are
00:04:13.803 --> 00:04:15.104
Because his mercies are renewed every morning.
00:04:15.171 --> 00:04:16.639
Renewed every morning. don't let the world that
00:04:16.706 --> 00:04:17.974
Don't let the world that we live in steal the joy of
00:04:18.041 --> 00:04:19.976
We live in steal the joy of the lord that's inside you.
00:04:20.043 --> 00:04:21.511
The lord that's inside you. but remember what nehemiah
00:04:21.577 --> 00:04:23.046
But remember what nehemiah said.
00:04:23.112 --> 00:04:23.680
Said. "the joy of the lord
00:04:23.746 --> 00:04:25.381
"the joy of the lord is my strength."
00:04:25.448 --> 00:04:27.250
Is my strength." give the lord a handclap
00:04:27.317 --> 00:04:28.418
Give the lord a handclap of praise.
00:04:28.484 --> 00:04:29.886
Of praise. (applause)
00:04:29.952 --> 00:04:36.025
(applause) when you're anxious,
00:04:36.092 --> 00:04:38.661
When you're anxious, you feel disconnected
00:04:38.728 --> 00:04:39.629
You feel disconnected and divided.
00:04:39.696 --> 00:04:41.497
And divided. and this disconnection creates
00:04:41.564 --> 00:04:42.932
And this disconnection creates frustration.
00:04:42.999 --> 00:04:43.766
Frustration. and this frustration only adds
00:04:43.833 --> 00:04:45.902
And this frustration only adds to the intensity of
00:04:45.968 --> 00:04:47.236
To the intensity of the depression,
00:04:47.303 --> 00:04:47.904
The depression, which is why paul said,
00:04:47.970 --> 00:04:49.472
Which is why paul said, "be anxious for --" what?
00:04:49.539 --> 00:04:51.441
"be anxious for --" what? [nothing.]
00:04:51.507 --> 00:04:52.041
[nothing.] "-- nothing."
00:04:52.108 --> 00:04:53.042
"-- nothing." now you can say,
00:04:53.109 --> 00:04:53.609
Now you can say, "ah, that's easy for you
00:04:53.676 --> 00:04:54.377
"ah, that's easy for you to say."
00:04:54.444 --> 00:04:55.311
To say." (laughter)
00:04:55.378 --> 00:04:55.978
(laughter) i didn't say it.
00:04:56.045 --> 00:04:56.512
I didn't say it. paul did.
00:04:56.579 --> 00:04:57.480
Paul did. [amen.]
00:04:57.547 --> 00:04:58.948
[amen.] john 15,

And then they said something they really don't mean?
00:06:55.465 --> 00:06:57.900
They really don't mean? they said,
00:06:57.967 --> 00:06:58.301
They said, "make yourself at --" what?

They don't mean that. (laughter)
00:07:03.005 --> 00:07:06.609
(laughter) it might sound sincere,
00:07:06.676 --> 00:07:07.844
It might sound sincere, but it ain't true.
00:07:07.910 --> 00:07:09.545
But it ain't true. (laughter)
00:07:09.612 --> 00:07:10.379

House and you kicked off your shoes like you kick them
00:07:12.615 --> 00:07:13.850
Your shoes like you kick them off at your house,
00:07:13.916 --> 00:07:15.685
Off at your house, and you sat in
00:07:15.751 --> 00:07:16.619
And you sat in the big chair --
00:07:16.686 --> 00:07:17.987
The big chair -- (laughter)
00:07:18.054 --> 00:07:19.455
(laughter) everybody knows about
00:07:19.522 --> 00:07:20.022
Everybody knows about the big chair, right?
00:07:20.089 --> 00:07:21.390
The big chair, right? (laughter)
00:07:21.457 --> 00:07:22.325
(laughter) and you took their remote--
00:07:22.391 --> 00:07:24.427
And you took their remote-- (laughter)
00:07:24.494 --> 00:07:25.595
(laughter) [woo.]
00:07:25.661 --> 00:07:26.496
[woo.] yeah.
00:07:26.562 --> 00:07:27.563
Yeah. (laughter)
00:07:27.630 --> 00:07:29.732
(laughter) but if you did all that,
00:07:29.799 --> 00:07:32.168
But if you did all that, they would never invite you
00:07:32.235 --> 00:07:33.202
They would never invite you back.
00:07:33.269 --> 00:07:35.204
Back. but the truth is they invited
00:07:35.271 --> 00:07:36.539
But the truth is they invited you to do it when they said,
00:07:36.606 --> 00:07:37.740
You to do it when they said, "make yourself at home."
00:07:37.807 --> 00:07:41.110
"make yourself at home." they didn't want you
00:07:41.177 --> 00:07:41.711
They didn't want you to abide.
00:07:41.777 --> 00:07:43.212
To abide. they just wanted you
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:43.880
They just wanted you to drop by.
00:07:43.946 --> 00:07:45.815
To drop by. (laughter)
00:07:45.882 --> 00:07:48.284
(laughter) but jesus,
00:07:48.351 --> 00:07:49.018
But jesus, what he's telling his
00:07:49.085 --> 00:07:49.886
What he's telling his disciples here is,
00:07:49.952 --> 00:07:51.621
Disciples here is, "i want you to feel so
00:07:51.687 --> 00:07:54.423
"i want you to feel so comfortable in my presence,
00:07:54.490 --> 00:07:55.992
Comfortable in my presence, that the times in your life
00:07:56.058 --> 00:07:57.193
That the times in your life when you're not comfortable,
00:07:57.260 --> 00:07:58.461
When you're not comfortable, it's because my presence
00:07:58.528 --> 00:07:59.562
It's because my presence isn't there."
00:07:59.629 --> 00:08:01.097
Isn't there." [yes.]
00:08:01.163 --> 00:08:01.998
[yes.] you see the problem with
00:08:02.064 --> 00:08:03.266
You see the problem with the church,
00:08:03.332 --> 00:08:03.766
The church, and one of the reasons why
00:08:03.833 --> 00:08:04.534
And one of the reasons why we're struggling with
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:05.501
We're struggling with this issue of anxiety and
00:08:05.568 --> 00:08:06.769
This issue of anxiety and depression and mental illness
00:08:06.836 --> 00:08:08.404
Depression and mental illness is because we spend most of
00:08:08.471 --> 00:08:10.072
Is because we spend most of our time focusing and abiding
00:08:10.139 --> 00:08:12.808
Our time focusing and abiding in what concerns us,
00:08:12.875 --> 00:08:14.243
In what concerns us, and worrying about things
00:08:14.310 --> 00:08:15.511
And worrying about things we can't control.
00:08:15.578 --> 00:08:16.679
We can't control. and then we drop by and we
00:08:16.746 --> 00:08:17.980
And then we drop by and we visit and see jesus on sunday,
00:08:18.047 --> 00:08:20.516
Visit and see jesus on sunday, but we don't stay with him
00:08:20.583 --> 00:08:21.784
But we don't stay with him monday through friday.
00:08:21.851 --> 00:08:22.718
Monday through friday. [right.]
00:08:22.785 --> 00:08:23.252
[right.] [amen.]
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:24.253
[amen.] look at what he told joshua
00:08:24.320 --> 00:08:25.421
Look at what he told joshua in joshua 1:8.
00:08:25.488 --> 00:08:26.422
In joshua 1:8. "this book of the law shall
00:08:26.489 --> 00:08:27.456
"this book of the law shall not depart from your mouth."
00:08:27.523 --> 00:08:28.891
Not depart from your mouth." that means that you're going

That means that you're going to speak my word.
00:08:29.825 --> 00:08:31.861
To speak my word. you can't say it if you don't
00:08:31.928 --> 00:08:33.462
You can't say it if you don't know it.
00:08:33.529 --> 00:08:33.930
Know it. and the only way to know it
00:08:33.996 --> 00:08:34.897
And the only way to know it is to read it.
00:08:34.964 --> 00:08:36.165
Is to read it. [that's right.]
00:08:36.232 --> 00:08:36.799
[that's right.] then he says,
00:08:36.866 --> 00:08:37.433
Then he says, "you'll meditate upon it
00:08:37.500 --> 00:08:38.334
"you'll meditate upon it day and night."
00:08:38.401 --> 00:08:39.135
Day and night." he's saying this is what
00:08:39.201 --> 00:08:39.969
He's saying this is what you're going to think about,
00:08:40.036 --> 00:08:41.203
You're going to think about, this is how you're going to
00:08:41.270 --> 00:08:42.238
This is how you're going to come to your conclusions
00:08:42.305 --> 00:08:43.339
Come to your conclusions and your decisions.
00:08:43.406 --> 00:08:44.373
And your decisions. you're going to let the truth

And the principles of god's word drive you.
00:08:46.309 --> 00:08:49.345
God's word drive you. and then he says you're going
00:08:49.412 --> 00:08:50.046
And then he says you're going to observe to do all that is
00:08:50.112 --> 00:08:52.014
To observe to do all that is written.
00:08:52.081 --> 00:08:52.415
Written. so he said you're going to
00:08:52.481 --> 00:08:53.182
So he said you're going to read it,
00:08:53.249 --> 00:08:53.816
Read it, you're going to speak it,
00:08:53.883 --> 00:08:54.817
You're going to speak it, you're going to think it,
00:08:54.884 --> 00:08:55.785
You're going to think it, and you're going to do it.
00:08:55.851 --> 00:08:57.153

For joshua? "for then will i make your way
00:08:58.888 --> 00:09:00.856
"for then will i make your way prosperous,
00:09:00.923 --> 00:09:01.691
Prosperous, and then will you have
00:09:01.757 --> 00:09:03.292
And then will you have good success."
00:09:03.359 --> 00:09:03.960
Good success." some people want to know,
00:09:04.026 --> 00:09:04.860
Some people want to know, "why am i always struggling?
00:09:04.927 --> 00:09:06.429
"why am i always struggling? why am i always working
00:09:06.495 --> 00:09:07.863
Why am i always working so hard?
00:09:07.930 --> 00:09:08.331
So hard? why am i never getting ahead?"
00:09:08.397 --> 00:09:09.865

Are you thinking the word? are you doing the word?
00:09:13.169 --> 00:09:14.570
Are you doing the word? or is the word collecting
00:09:14.637 --> 00:09:15.972
Or is the word collecting dust,
00:09:16.038 --> 00:09:16.505
Dust, and you're out struggling
00:09:16.572 --> 00:09:17.540
And you're out struggling on your own?
00:09:17.607 --> 00:09:18.474
On your own? this is why jesus said,
00:09:18.541 --> 00:09:19.976
This is why jesus said, "apart from me
00:09:20.042 --> 00:09:21.143
"apart from me you can do nothing."
00:09:21.210 --> 00:09:24.113
You can do nothing." (applause)

A plan. i knew what corner i had to
00:12:21.657 --> 00:12:22.591
I knew what corner i had to start in,
00:12:22.658 --> 00:12:23.159
Start in, so i could get those lines
00:12:23.225 --> 00:12:24.260
So i could get those lines nice and straight,
00:12:24.326 --> 00:12:25.261

And i'd work from one side to the other,
00:12:29.832 --> 00:12:30.366
The other, and then take a half step
00:12:30.432 --> 00:12:31.167
And then take a half step back,
00:12:31.233 --> 00:12:31.667

Direction until i got all the way to the part of the room
00:12:34.336 --> 00:12:35.504
Way to the part of the room that i had started in,
00:12:35.571 --> 00:12:38.007
That i had started in, so that everything would be
00:12:38.073 --> 00:12:39.408
So that everything would be just like it needed to be.
00:12:39.475 --> 00:12:40.576

Would make you want to lose your salvation,
00:12:43.646 --> 00:12:44.713
Your salvation, it was somebody putting

It was somebody putting a footprint --
00:12:45.981 --> 00:12:47.550
A footprint -- (laughter)

Now in the house that i grew up in,
00:12:59.094 --> 00:12:59.595
Grew up in, there was always this one room
00:12:59.662 --> 00:13:02.598
There was always this one room that the vacuum that we had
00:13:02.665 --> 00:13:05.601
That the vacuum that we had didn't have enough cord
00:13:05.668 --> 00:13:07.336
Didn't have enough cord to start and stop
00:13:07.403 --> 00:13:08.804
To start and stop in the same room.
00:13:08.871 --> 00:13:11.774
In the same room. you know what i'm talking
00:13:11.841 --> 00:13:12.341
You know what i'm talking about?
00:13:12.408 --> 00:13:13.075
About? [yes.]
00:13:13.142 --> 00:13:13.809
[yes.] you'd have to start on
00:13:13.876 --> 00:13:14.443
You'd have to start on this wall,
00:13:14.510 --> 00:13:15.177
This wall, and you could only vacuum
00:13:15.244 --> 00:13:16.178
And you could only vacuum so far.
00:13:16.245 --> 00:13:16.779
So far. and then you'd have to come
00:13:16.846 --> 00:13:17.379
And then you'd have to come over and take the cord out
00:13:17.446 --> 00:13:18.447
Over and take the cord out and go over to the other wall,
00:13:18.514 --> 00:13:19.682
And go over to the other wall, and start to vacuum another.
00:13:19.748 --> 00:13:20.883
And start to vacuum another. and it would mess up
00:13:20.950 --> 00:13:21.717
And it would mess up the whole thing,
00:13:21.784 --> 00:13:22.318
The whole thing, because you're lines
00:13:22.384 --> 00:13:23.319
Because you're lines weren't right and everything
00:13:23.385 --> 00:13:24.220
Weren't right and everything was crooked, just--
00:13:24.286 --> 00:13:25.788
Was crooked, just-- (makes frustrated

In it, by the way. (laughter)
00:13:31.427 --> 00:13:33.429
(laughter) and what i used to do in that
00:13:33.495 --> 00:13:34.463
And what i used to do in that room is i would always see how
00:13:34.530 --> 00:13:36.065
Room is i would always see how far i could go from that plug
00:13:36.131 --> 00:13:39.168
Far i could go from that plug before it would go out.
00:13:39.235 --> 00:13:41.203
Before it would go out. and i'd get all the way
00:13:41.270 --> 00:13:42.037
And i'd get all the way at the end of the cord,
00:13:42.104 --> 00:13:42.872
At the end of the cord, and i'm sitting there going
00:13:42.938 --> 00:13:43.572
And i'm sitting there going (makes vacuum sounds).
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:45.341

Kids that are doing this on a daily basis.
00:13:58.654 --> 00:14:00.756
A daily basis. they want to see how far away
00:14:00.823 --> 00:14:02.892
They want to see how far away from jesus they can get
00:14:02.958 --> 00:14:04.393
From jesus they can get and still feel the power.

Living is that the farther you get,
00:14:13.135 --> 00:14:13.936
You get, the less it takes
00:14:14.003 --> 00:14:15.004
The less it takes to disconnect you.

You can go through some stuff, because you've got a whole lot
00:14:23.579 --> 00:14:24.313
Because you've got a whole lot of cord to work with.
00:14:24.380 --> 00:14:26.615
Of cord to work with. but when you're way out here
00:14:26.682 --> 00:14:27.683
But when you're way out here on the end of your cord,
00:14:27.750 --> 00:14:28.951
On the end of your cord, all it takes is just
00:14:29.018 --> 00:14:30.052
All it takes is just a little bit of misdirection,
00:14:30.119 --> 00:14:32.288
A little bit of misdirection, and you can be moving
00:14:32.354 --> 00:14:33.255
And you can be moving right along.
00:14:33.322 --> 00:14:33.956
Right along. me and jesus got our own thing
00:14:34.023 --> 00:14:35.291
Me and jesus got our own thing going.
00:14:35.357 --> 00:14:35.658
Going. (makes sound of vacuum
00:14:35.724 --> 00:14:36.625
(makes sound of vacuum stopping)
00:14:36.692 --> 00:14:37.626
Stopping) (laughter)
00:14:37.693 --> 00:14:39.862
(laughter) and just that fast,
00:14:39.929 --> 00:14:41.297
And just that fast, his power,
00:14:41.363 --> 00:14:41.931
His power, his presence,
00:14:41.997 --> 00:14:42.564
His presence, his peace,
00:14:42.631 --> 00:14:43.198
His peace, his joy is gone.
00:14:43.265 --> 00:14:45.434
His joy is gone. [yes.]
00:14:45.501 --> 00:14:46.535
[yes.] [come on.]
00:14:46.602 --> 00:14:47.436
[come on.] this is why staying
00:14:47.503 --> 00:14:48.537
This is why staying connected,
00:14:48.604 --> 00:14:49.171
Connected, being in his presence,
00:14:49.238 --> 00:14:51.407
Being in his presence, abiding with him
00:14:51.473 --> 00:14:52.975
Abiding with him is so important.
00:14:53.042 --> 00:14:55.978
Is so important. but one of the problems that
00:14:56.045 --> 00:14:56.779
But one of the problems that you face is that you create
00:14:56.845 --> 00:14:58.580
You face is that you create these disconnections by what i
00:14:58.647 --> 00:15:00.449
These disconnections by what i call "overthinking."
00:15:00.516 --> 00:15:02.885
Call "overthinking." [come on.]
00:15:02.952 --> 00:15:03.319
[come on.] now i'm not talking about you,
00:15:03.385 --> 00:15:04.286
Now i'm not talking about you, but maybe there's some people
00:15:04.353 --> 00:15:05.154
But maybe there's some people you know.
00:15:05.220 --> 00:15:05.721
You know. do you know anyone who is
00:15:05.788 --> 00:15:06.722
Do you know anyone who is a chronic overthinker?
00:15:06.789 --> 00:15:09.291
A chronic overthinker? (laughter)
00:15:09.358 --> 00:15:10.359
(laughter) y'all are thinking about
00:15:10.426 --> 00:15:11.193
Y'all are thinking about raising your hands right now.
00:15:11.260 --> 00:15:13.162
Raising your hands right now. (laughter)
00:15:13.228 --> 00:15:13.862
(laughter) do i do it?
00:15:13.929 --> 00:15:14.330
Do i do it? do i not do it?
00:15:14.396 --> 00:15:15.064
Do i not do it? if i do it,
00:15:15.130 --> 00:15:15.731
If i do it, will people say something
00:15:15.798 --> 00:15:16.799
Will people say something about me?
00:15:16.865 --> 00:15:17.333
About me? are they going to judge me?
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:19.001
Are they going to judge me? (laughter)
00:15:19.068 --> 00:15:21.503
(laughter) i mean just be spontaneous.
00:15:21.570 --> 00:15:23.072
I mean just be spontaneous. anybody overthink?
00:15:23.138 --> 00:15:24.873
Anybody overthink? okay.
00:15:24.940 --> 00:15:25.240
Okay. thank god.
00:15:25.307 --> 00:15:26.241
Thank god. (laughter)
00:15:26.308 --> 00:15:27.876
(laughter) and i can prove that
00:15:27.943 --> 00:15:28.577
And i can prove that overthinking causes
00:15:28.644 --> 00:15:29.812
Overthinking causes depression,
00:15:29.878 --> 00:15:30.379
Depression, because i don't think that
00:15:30.446 --> 00:15:31.180
Because i don't think that i've ever had a conversation
00:15:31.246 --> 00:15:32.548
I've ever had a conversation with somebody who shows up to
00:15:32.614 --> 00:15:33.582
With somebody who shows up to work and says,
00:15:33.649 --> 00:15:34.450
Work and says, (yawns)
00:15:34.516 --> 00:15:35.117
(yawns) "i lost so much sleep last
00:15:35.184 --> 00:15:36.585
"i lost so much sleep last night thinking about how happy
00:15:36.652 --> 00:15:38.354
Night thinking about how happy i am."
00:15:38.420 --> 00:15:39.755
I am." (laughter)
00:15:39.822 --> 00:15:42.191
(laughter) "i just couldn't get, uh,
00:15:42.257 --> 00:15:44.093
"i just couldn't get, uh, one moment's rest
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:45.227
One moment's rest because i'm so blessed."
00:15:45.294 --> 00:15:47.896
Because i'm so blessed." (laughter)
00:15:47.963 --> 00:15:48.630
(laughter) "i stayed up staring at
00:15:48.697 --> 00:15:49.631
"i stayed up staring at the ceiling,
00:15:49.698 --> 00:15:50.165
The ceiling, thinking the joy of the lord
00:15:50.232 --> 00:15:51.700
Thinking the joy of the lord is my strength."
00:15:51.767 --> 00:15:53.702
Is my strength." (laughter)
00:15:53.769 --> 00:15:55.170
(laughter) "wow."
00:15:55.237 --> 00:15:56.572
"wow." (laughter)
00:15:56.638 --> 00:15:58.007
(laughter) that's not how it works.
00:15:58.073 --> 00:16:00.309
That's not how it works. because when your mind is
00:16:00.376 --> 00:16:01.377
Because when your mind is connected to god's joy,
00:16:01.443 --> 00:16:02.678
Connected to god's joy, and god's peace,
00:16:02.745 --> 00:16:03.679
And god's peace, and god's-- god's provision,
00:16:03.746 --> 00:16:05.581
And god's-- god's provision, and god's promise,
00:16:05.647 --> 00:16:06.215
And god's promise, you know what you do?
00:16:06.281 --> 00:16:07.416
You know what you do? (makes snoring sounds)
00:16:07.483 --> 00:16:09.051
(makes snoring sounds) (laughter)
00:16:09.118 --> 00:16:09.952
(laughter) [amen.]
00:16:10.019 --> 00:16:10.886
[amen.] you could sleep in a war zone.
00:16:10.953 --> 00:16:12.788
You could sleep in a war zone. (laughter)
00:16:12.855 --> 00:16:13.956
(laughter) [amen.]
00:16:14.023 --> 00:16:14.990
[amen.] but when you're overthinking,
00:16:15.057 --> 00:16:16.158
But when you're overthinking, you're laying in bed and
00:16:16.225 --> 00:16:17.092
You're laying in bed and you're thinking to yourself
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:18.327
You're thinking to yourself about all of the conversations
00:16:18.394 --> 00:16:19.595
About all of the conversations and interactions and things
00:16:19.661 --> 00:16:20.763
And interactions and things that you should have done
00:16:20.829 --> 00:16:21.663
That you should have done that you didn't do,
00:16:21.730 --> 00:16:22.498
That you didn't do, and what you should have said
00:16:22.564 --> 00:16:23.298
And what you should have said that you didn't say,
00:16:23.365 --> 00:16:24.099
That you didn't say, and how they treated you and
00:16:24.166 --> 00:16:25.567
And how they treated you and shouldn't have treated you,
00:16:25.634 --> 00:16:26.502
Shouldn't have treated you, and if they really felt
00:16:26.568 --> 00:16:27.403
And if they really felt like that,
00:16:27.469 --> 00:16:27.936
Like that, then they wouldn't act
00:16:28.003 --> 00:16:28.704
Then they wouldn't act like this,
00:16:28.771 --> 00:16:29.271
Like this, and why did they,
00:16:29.338 --> 00:16:30.039
And why did they, and when did they,
00:16:30.105 --> 00:16:30.773
And when did they, and how could they,
00:16:30.839 --> 00:16:31.640
And how could they, and how dare they.
00:16:31.707 --> 00:16:34.910
And how dare they. and then all of a sudden,
00:16:34.977 --> 00:16:35.477
And then all of a sudden, the alarm clock goes off,
00:16:35.544 --> 00:16:36.612
The alarm clock goes off, and you wake up tired.
00:16:36.678 --> 00:16:38.680
And you wake up tired. (yawns)
00:16:38.747 --> 00:16:39.381
(yawns) (laughter)
00:16:39.448 --> 00:16:40.015
(laughter) why?
00:16:40.082 --> 00:16:40.582
Why? because you've been working
00:16:40.649 --> 00:16:41.450
Because you've been working when you should have been
00:16:41.517 --> 00:16:42.384
When you should have been resting.
00:16:42.451 --> 00:16:43.485
Resting. [yes.]
00:16:43.552 --> 00:16:44.286
[yes.] your thinking has not only
00:16:44.353 --> 00:16:46.855
Your thinking has not only robbed you of sleep,
00:16:46.922 --> 00:16:48.057
Robbed you of sleep, but it's caused mental
00:16:48.123 --> 00:16:48.924
But it's caused mental and emotional fatigue that
00:16:48.991 --> 00:16:50.259
And emotional fatigue that eventually has physical
00:16:50.325 --> 00:16:51.727
Eventually has physical manifestations and emotional
00:16:51.794 --> 00:16:53.228
Manifestations and emotional frustration.
00:16:53.295 --> 00:16:55.464
Frustration. and you wonder why you feel
00:16:55.531 --> 00:16:56.665
And you wonder why you feel the way you feel.
00:16:56.732 --> 00:16:57.499
The way you feel. it's because you're holding
00:16:57.566 --> 00:16:58.567
It's because you're holding onto things that god said
00:16:58.634 --> 00:17:00.335
Onto things that god said let go of.
00:17:00.402 --> 00:17:01.603
Let go of. [amen.]
00:17:01.670 --> 00:17:02.671
[amen.] this is why paul's answer is,
00:17:02.738 --> 00:17:04.773
This is why paul's answer is, "but in everything."
00:17:04.840 --> 00:17:08.510
"but in everything." "be anxious for nothing,
00:17:08.577 --> 00:17:10.079
"be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer
00:17:10.145 --> 00:17:12.981
But in everything by prayer and supplication,
00:17:13.048 --> 00:17:14.116
And supplication, with thanksgiving."
00:17:14.183 --> 00:17:17.853
With thanksgiving." this is how you take
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:19.021
This is how you take the medicine,
00:17:19.088 --> 00:17:19.621
The medicine, ladies and gentlemen,
00:17:19.688 --> 00:17:20.889
Ladies and gentlemen, "with thanksgiving."
00:17:20.956 --> 00:17:24.493
"with thanksgiving." your thanksgiving is the key
00:17:24.560 --> 00:17:26.428
Your thanksgiving is the key that unlocks the gates
00:17:26.495 --> 00:17:27.663
That unlocks the gates of heaven and allows you into
00:17:27.729 --> 00:17:29.765
Of heaven and allows you into god's presence.
00:17:29.832 --> 00:17:30.532
God's presence. this is why david said,
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:31.600
This is why david said, "enter into his gates
00:17:31.667 --> 00:17:32.835
"enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
00:17:32.901 --> 00:17:34.036
With thanksgiving, and into his courts
00:17:34.103 --> 00:17:35.237
And into his courts with praise."
00:17:35.304 --> 00:17:36.004
With praise." don't go knock on heaven's
00:17:36.071 --> 00:17:37.773
Don't go knock on heaven's door with a long list of
00:17:37.840 --> 00:17:39.208
Door with a long list of things you want to complain
00:17:39.274 --> 00:17:40.642
Things you want to complain about.
00:17:40.709 --> 00:17:41.210
About. god already knows what you're
00:17:41.276 --> 00:17:42.678
God already knows what you're dealing with.
00:17:42.744 --> 00:17:43.512
Dealing with. god knew about it before you
00:17:43.579 --> 00:17:44.947
God knew about it before you ever found out about it.
00:17:45.013 --> 00:17:46.148
Ever found out about it. he knows how to get you
00:17:46.215 --> 00:17:47.349
He knows how to get you through it.
00:17:47.416 --> 00:17:47.883
Through it. he knows when you're coming
00:17:47.950 --> 00:17:48.984
He knows when you're coming out of it.
00:17:49.051 --> 00:17:49.585
Out of it. he knows where everything that
00:17:49.651 --> 00:17:50.819
He knows where everything that you're ever going to require
00:17:50.886 --> 00:17:52.187
You're ever going to require can be found
00:17:52.254 --> 00:17:53.088
Can be found and when you'll receive it.
00:17:53.155 --> 00:17:54.323
And when you'll receive it. so whenever you go into his
00:17:54.389 --> 00:17:55.924
So whenever you go into his presence,
00:17:55.991 --> 00:17:56.658
Presence, whenever anxiety shows up,
00:17:56.725 --> 00:17:58.727
Whenever anxiety shows up, whenever concern plagues
00:17:58.794 --> 00:18:00.262
Whenever concern plagues your mind,
00:18:00.329 --> 00:18:01.029
Your mind, you lift your hands,
00:18:01.096 --> 00:18:02.231
You lift your hands, and you say,
00:18:02.297 --> 00:18:02.764
And you say, "god, i thank you.
00:18:02.831 --> 00:18:04.399
"god, i thank you. i thank you that you've never
00:18:04.466 --> 00:18:05.634
I thank you that you've never failed me before,
00:18:05.701 --> 00:18:07.035
Failed me before, and you're not going to
00:18:07.102 --> 00:18:07.803
And you're not going to fail me now.
00:18:07.870 --> 00:18:08.804
Fail me now. i thank you that
00:18:08.871 --> 00:18:09.738
I thank you that in your sovereignty,
00:18:09.805 --> 00:18:10.806
In your sovereignty, you knew about this.
00:18:10.873 --> 00:18:12.141
You knew about this. and in your grace,
00:18:12.207 --> 00:18:13.242
And in your grace, you're going to give me the
00:18:13.308 --> 00:18:14.143
You're going to give me the strength to sustain myself,
00:18:14.209 --> 00:18:16.111
Strength to sustain myself, because your grace is
00:18:16.178 --> 00:18:17.279
Because your grace is sufficient for me.
00:18:17.346 --> 00:18:18.447
Sufficient for me. you promised i hadn't--
00:18:18.514 --> 00:18:19.715
You promised i hadn't-- i wouldn't fight this alone,
00:18:19.781 --> 00:18:21.083
I wouldn't fight this alone, because you'd never leave me
00:18:21.150 --> 00:18:22.317
Because you'd never leave me nor would you forsake me.
00:18:22.384 --> 00:18:23.886
Nor would you forsake me. you promised you'd defend me,
00:18:23.952 --> 00:18:25.554
You promised you'd defend me, because your name is the name
00:18:25.621 --> 00:18:27.656
Because your name is the name that is above every name.
00:18:27.723 --> 00:18:29.091
That is above every name. you are a strong tower.
00:18:29.158 --> 00:18:31.093
You are a strong tower. you are a mighty fortress.
00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:33.028
You are a mighty fortress. you will protect me.
00:18:33.095 --> 00:18:34.730
You will protect me. you will assign your angels
00:18:34.796 --> 00:18:36.398
You will assign your angels to go before me and behind me.
00:18:36.465 --> 00:18:38.467
To go before me and behind me. you will provide for me,
00:18:38.534 --> 00:18:40.035
You will provide for me, because you said you'd put
