Pastor matt hagee: last week,
00:00:14.007 --> 00:00:14.874
Pastor matt hagee: last week, we considered what the bible
00:00:14.941 --> 00:00:15.842
We considered what the bible has to say about the cause
00:00:15.909 --> 00:00:19.412
Has to say about the cause of depression.
00:00:19.479 --> 00:00:21.347
Of depression. proverbs 12:25,
00:00:21.414 --> 00:00:23.383
Proverbs 12:25, it very clearly says that
00:00:23.450 --> 00:00:24.651
It very clearly says that anxiety in the heart
00:00:24.717 --> 00:00:26.586
Anxiety in the heart of a man causes depression,
00:00:26.653 --> 00:00:29.022
Of a man causes depression, but a good word..."
00:00:29.089 --> 00:00:30.457
But a good word..." somebody say,
00:00:30.523 --> 00:00:31.091
Somebody say, "a good word."
00:00:31.157 --> 00:00:32.592
"a good word." [a good word.]
00:00:32.659 --> 00:00:33.493
[a good word.] not every word is good.
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:35.895
Not every word is good. but when you receive a good
00:00:35.962 --> 00:00:37.363
But when you receive a good word from god's word,
00:00:37.430 --> 00:00:39.566
Word from god's word, it drives depression out.
00:00:39.632 --> 00:00:42.035
It drives depression out. "a good word makes it glad."
00:00:42.102 --> 00:00:44.170
"a good word makes it glad." god's word is the cure that
00:00:44.237 --> 00:00:46.306
God's word is the cure that he has prescribed for each
00:00:46.372 --> 00:00:48.441
He has prescribed for each and every one us.
00:00:48.508 --> 00:00:50.343
And every one us. it doesn't matter what
00:00:50.410 --> 00:00:51.111
It doesn't matter what your need is.
00:00:51.177 --> 00:00:52.178
Your need is. god's word can cure it.
00:00:52.245 --> 00:00:54.914
God's word can cure it. god's word doesn't treat
00:00:54.981 --> 00:00:56.082
God's word doesn't treat symptoms.
00:00:56.149 --> 00:00:56.983
Symptoms. god's word overcomes
00:00:57.050 --> 00:00:58.451
God's word overcomes the problem.
00:00:58.518 --> 00:00:59.452
The problem. [amen.]
00:00:59.519 --> 00:00:59.886
[amen.] the abundant life that christ
00:00:59.953 --> 00:01:01.321
The abundant life that christ wants to give to every person
00:01:01.387 --> 00:01:03.189
Wants to give to every person who asks for it is the kind of
00:01:03.256 --> 00:01:05.391
Who asks for it is the kind of life that not only fills up
00:01:05.458 --> 00:01:07.227
Life that not only fills up every deficiency,
00:01:07.293 --> 00:01:08.461
Every deficiency, but it lifts the heaviness
00:01:08.528 --> 00:01:09.796
But it lifts the heaviness of depression off of you.
00:01:09.863 --> 00:01:12.832
Of depression off of you. [amen.]
00:01:12.899 --> 00:01:13.466
[amen.] but how do you apply it?
00:01:13.533 --> 00:01:15.735
But how do you apply it? have you ever gotten
00:01:15.802 --> 00:01:16.469
Have you ever gotten a prescription,
00:01:16.536 --> 00:01:17.370
A prescription, and the pharmacist says,
00:01:17.437 --> 00:01:18.538
And the pharmacist says, "i need to give you some
00:01:18.605 --> 00:01:19.372
"i need to give you some instructions about when and
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:20.773
Instructions about when and how to use that medication"?
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.943
How to use that medication"? [yes.]
00:01:24.010 --> 00:01:25.411
[yes.] oh, i guess y'all are
00:01:25.478 --> 00:01:26.012
Oh, i guess y'all are that essential oils crowd.
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:27.447
That essential oils crowd. y'all don't do none of
00:01:27.514 --> 00:01:28.148
Y'all don't do none of these medications thing.
00:01:28.214 --> 00:01:29.682
These medications thing. (laughter)
00:01:29.749 --> 00:01:31.384
(laughter) well, jesus gives
00:01:31.451 --> 00:01:32.318
Well, jesus gives the prescription.
00:01:32.385 --> 00:01:33.753
The prescription. "these words i have spoken
00:01:33.820 --> 00:01:34.988
"these words i have spoken to you...
00:01:35.054 --> 00:01:35.421
To you... that your joy may be full."
00:01:35.488 --> 00:01:36.756
That your joy may be full." and paul operates
00:01:36.823 --> 00:01:38.691
And paul operates in philippians somewhat like
00:01:38.758 --> 00:01:39.959
In philippians somewhat like the pharmacist who says,
00:01:40.026 --> 00:01:41.094
The pharmacist who says, "here's exactly how you
00:01:41.161 --> 00:01:42.862
"here's exactly how you apply it."
00:01:42.929 --> 00:01:44.631
Apply it." he says that there's an issue
00:01:44.697 --> 00:01:46.132
He says that there's an issue with anxiety and your contact
00:01:46.199 --> 00:01:48.568
With anxiety and your contact to the source of power.
00:01:48.635 --> 00:01:51.604
To the source of power. because connection with christ
00:01:51.671 --> 00:01:53.206
Because connection with christ is how you receive the power
00:01:53.273 --> 00:01:54.874
Is how you receive the power to overcome depression.
00:01:54.941 --> 00:01:57.610
To overcome depression. so paul says,
00:01:57.677 --> 00:01:59.078
So paul says, "be anxious for nothing."
00:01:59.145 --> 00:02:01.614
"be anxious for nothing." say that with me.
00:02:01.681 --> 00:02:02.582
Say that with me. "be anxious for nothing."
00:02:02.649 --> 00:02:05.218
"be anxious for nothing." now paul was not speaking
00:02:05.285 --> 00:02:06.953
Now paul was not speaking about the light things of life
00:02:07.020 --> 00:02:08.688
About the light things of life that you don't need to worry
00:02:08.755 --> 00:02:09.789
That you don't need to worry about like where are we going
00:02:09.856 --> 00:02:10.823
About like where are we going to have lunch and is
00:02:10.890 --> 00:02:11.758
To have lunch and is the preacher going to be done
00:02:11.824 --> 00:02:12.625
The preacher going to be done on time.
00:02:12.692 --> 00:02:14.127
On time. (laughter)
00:02:14.194 --> 00:02:15.328
(laughter) paul, when he says,
00:02:15.395 --> 00:02:16.162
Paul, when he says, "be anxious for nothing,"
00:02:16.229 --> 00:02:17.297
"be anxious for nothing," he means it doesn't matter
00:02:17.363 --> 00:02:18.831
He means it doesn't matter what's going on in the world
00:02:18.898 --> 00:02:20.166
What's going on in the world around you,
00:02:20.233 --> 00:02:21.000
Around you, don't let it bother you,
00:02:21.067 --> 00:02:23.503
Don't let it bother you, because you have a source that
00:02:23.570 --> 00:02:24.737
Because you have a source that you're connected to
00:02:24.804 --> 00:02:25.772
You're connected to that's stronger than anything
00:02:25.838 --> 00:02:26.940
That's stronger than anything you'll ever face.
00:02:27.006 --> 00:02:28.208
You'll ever face. [amen.]
00:02:28.274 --> 00:02:30.510
[amen.] now in proverbs 12,
00:02:30.577 --> 00:02:31.844
Now in proverbs 12, last week,
00:02:31.911 --> 00:02:32.612
Last week, the word "anxiety" literally
00:02:32.679 --> 00:02:33.846
The word "anxiety" literally meant heaviness.
00:02:33.913 --> 00:02:34.847
Meant heaviness. it was like a burden that you
00:02:34.914 --> 00:02:35.982
It was like a burden that you were carrying that caused
00:02:36.049 --> 00:02:37.016
Were carrying that caused a man to stoop over whenever

A man to stoop over whenever that anxiety is in your heart.
00:02:38.885 --> 00:02:41.020
That anxiety is in your heart. in this utilization,
00:02:41.087 --> 00:02:43.690
In this utilization, the word "anxious" literally
00:02:43.756 --> 00:02:45.024
The word "anxious" literally means to be divided
00:02:45.091 --> 00:02:46.960
Means to be divided in your thinking.
00:02:47.026 --> 00:02:48.795
In your thinking. it means that you have allowed
00:02:48.861 --> 00:02:50.163
It means that you have allowed concern and worry to come into
00:02:50.230 --> 00:02:51.931
Concern and worry to come into your mind and into your heart,
00:02:51.998 --> 00:02:53.600
Your mind and into your heart, and now you're confused.
00:02:53.666 --> 00:02:56.302
And now you're confused. it means to be separated.
00:02:56.369 --> 00:02:58.738
It means to be separated. [come on.]
00:02:58.805 --> 00:02:59.405
[come on.] now one of the things that i
00:02:59.472 --> 00:03:00.206
Now one of the things that i noticed as i read research
00:03:00.273 --> 00:03:01.474
Noticed as i read research papers on how many people were
00:03:01.541 --> 00:03:03.042
Papers on how many people were dealing with depression
00:03:03.109 --> 00:03:04.444
Dealing with depression in the world today,
00:03:04.510 --> 00:03:05.645
In the world today, one of the common symptoms
00:03:05.712 --> 00:03:07.113
One of the common symptoms that they all described as
00:03:07.180 --> 00:03:09.282
That they all described as a feeling they carry
00:03:09.349 --> 00:03:10.450
A feeling they carry is that they're separated.
00:03:10.516 --> 00:03:12.318
Is that they're separated. they feel disconnected.
00:03:12.385 --> 00:03:14.254
They feel disconnected. even in a crowd filled with

Even in a crowd filled with people who know them
00:03:15.788 --> 00:03:17.090
People who know them and love them,
00:03:17.156 --> 00:03:17.890
And love them, when you're depressed,
00:03:17.957 --> 00:03:19.092
When you're depressed, you don't feel like you have
00:03:19.158 --> 00:03:20.360
You don't feel like you have anyone that you can talk to,
00:03:20.426 --> 00:03:21.894
Anyone that you can talk to, and that you're all alone.
00:03:21.961 --> 00:03:24.464
And that you're all alone. it's not the circumstances
00:03:24.530 --> 00:03:25.598
It's not the circumstances and the surroundings
00:03:25.665 --> 00:03:26.499
And the surroundings on the outside.
00:03:26.566 --> 00:03:27.567
On the outside. it's the thing that's dividing
00:03:27.634 --> 00:03:29.135
It's the thing that's dividing you on the inside.
00:03:29.202 --> 00:03:31.838
You on the inside. they've allowed concern
00:03:31.904 --> 00:03:33.506
They've allowed concern to make them anxious.
00:03:33.573 --> 00:03:34.440
To make them anxious. they've allowed worry and fear
00:03:34.507 --> 00:03:36.142
They've allowed worry and fear to flood their heart
00:03:36.209 --> 00:03:37.110
To flood their heart and their mind.
00:03:37.176 --> 00:03:37.744
And their mind. and now they're feeling
00:03:37.810 --> 00:03:38.878
And now they're feeling as though they're not
00:03:38.945 --> 00:03:39.879
As though they're not connected to the reality of
00:03:39.946 --> 00:03:41.281
Connected to the reality of the world that they live in.
00:03:41.347 --> 00:03:42.315
The world that they live in. what you need to know is it
00:03:42.382 --> 00:03:43.750
What you need to know is it doesn't matter what's going on
00:03:43.816 --> 00:03:45.318
Doesn't matter what's going on around you.
00:03:45.385 --> 00:03:46.185
Around you. you still have a god who sits
00:03:46.252 --> 00:03:47.954
You still have a god who sits upon the throne and holds
00:03:48.021 --> 00:03:49.455
Upon the throne and holds this earth in the palm of

This earth in the palm of his hands.
00:03:50.890 --> 00:03:51.624
His hands. he still has the keys to
00:03:51.691 --> 00:03:53.126
He still has the keys to death, hell and the grave.
00:03:53.192 --> 00:03:54.427
Death, hell and the grave. and he still has given you the
00:03:54.494 --> 00:03:55.828
And he still has given you the victory through jesus christ,
00:03:55.895 --> 00:03:57.797
Victory through jesus christ, your savior.
00:03:57.864 --> 00:03:58.564
Your savior. you're never disconnected from
00:03:58.631 --> 00:04:00.800
You're never disconnected from his love,
00:04:00.867 --> 00:04:01.701
His love, because he said,
00:04:01.768 --> 00:04:02.402
Because he said, "i will be with you always."
00:04:02.468 --> 00:04:04.103
"i will be with you always." you're never disconnected from
00:04:04.170 --> 00:04:05.672
You're never disconnected from his grace,
00:04:05.738 --> 00:04:06.539
His grace, because where sin did abound,
00:04:06.606 --> 00:04:08.341
Because where sin did abound, grace did that much more
00:04:08.408 --> 00:04:09.575
Grace did that much more abound.
00:04:09.642 --> 00:04:10.109
Abound. you're never disconnected from
00:04:10.176 --> 00:04:11.844
You're never disconnected from his mercy,
00:04:11.911 --> 00:04:12.745
His mercy, because his mercies are
00:04:12.812 --> 00:04:14.113
Because his mercies are renewed every morning.
00:04:14.180 --> 00:04:15.648
Renewed every morning. don't let the world that
00:04:15.715 --> 00:04:16.983
Don't let the world that we live in steal the joy of
00:04:17.050 --> 00:04:18.985
We live in steal the joy of the lord that's inside you.
00:04:19.052 --> 00:04:20.520
The lord that's inside you. but remember what nehemiah
00:04:20.586 --> 00:04:22.055
But remember what nehemiah said.
00:04:22.121 --> 00:04:22.689
Said. "the joy of the lord
00:04:22.755 --> 00:04:24.390
"the joy of the lord is my strength."
00:04:24.457 --> 00:04:26.259
Is my strength." give the lord a handclap
00:04:26.326 --> 00:04:27.427
Give the lord a handclap of praise.
00:04:27.493 --> 00:04:28.895
Of praise. (applause)
00:04:28.961 --> 00:04:35.034
(applause) when you're anxious,
00:04:35.101 --> 00:04:37.670
When you're anxious, you feel disconnected
00:04:37.737 --> 00:04:38.638
You feel disconnected and divided.
00:04:38.705 --> 00:04:40.506
And divided. and this disconnection creates
00:04:40.573 --> 00:04:41.941
And this disconnection creates frustration.
00:04:42.008 --> 00:04:42.775
Frustration. and this frustration only adds
00:04:42.842 --> 00:04:44.911
And this frustration only adds to the intensity of
00:04:44.977 --> 00:04:46.245
To the intensity of the depression,
00:04:46.312 --> 00:04:46.913
The depression, which is why paul said,
00:04:46.979 --> 00:04:48.481
Which is why paul said, "be anxious for --" what?
00:04:48.548 --> 00:04:50.450
"be anxious for --" what? [nothing.]
00:04:50.516 --> 00:04:51.050
[nothing.] "-- nothing."
00:04:51.117 --> 00:04:52.051
"-- nothing." now you can say,
00:04:52.118 --> 00:04:52.618
Now you can say, "ah, that's easy for you
00:04:52.685 --> 00:04:53.386
"ah, that's easy for you to say."
00:04:53.453 --> 00:04:54.320
To say." (laughter)
00:04:54.387 --> 00:04:54.987
(laughter) i didn't say it.
00:04:55.054 --> 00:04:55.521
I didn't say it. paul did.
00:04:55.588 --> 00:04:56.489
Paul did. [amen.]
00:04:56.556 --> 00:04:57.957
[amen.] john 15,

A refreshment, and then they said something

And then they said something they really don't mean?
00:06:54.474 --> 00:06:56.909
They really don't mean? they said,
00:06:56.976 --> 00:06:57.310
They said, "make yourself at --" what?
00:06:57.376 --> 00:06:59.378

00:06:59.445 --> 00:07:00.279
[home.] they don't mean that.
00:07:00.346 --> 00:07:01.948
They don't mean that. (laughter)
00:07:02.014 --> 00:07:05.618
(laughter) it might sound sincere,
00:07:05.685 --> 00:07:06.853
It might sound sincere, but it ain't true.
00:07:06.919 --> 00:07:08.554
But it ain't true. (laughter)
00:07:08.621 --> 00:07:09.388
(laughter) because if you went into their

House and you kicked off your shoes like you kick them
00:07:11.624 --> 00:07:12.859
Your shoes like you kick them off at your house,
00:07:12.925 --> 00:07:14.694
Off at your house, and you sat in
00:07:14.760 --> 00:07:15.628
And you sat in the big chair --
00:07:15.695 --> 00:07:16.996
The big chair -- (laughter)
00:07:17.063 --> 00:07:18.464
(laughter) everybody knows about
00:07:18.531 --> 00:07:19.031
Everybody knows about the big chair, right?
00:07:19.098 --> 00:07:20.399
The big chair, right? (laughter)
00:07:20.466 --> 00:07:21.334
(laughter) and you took their remote--
00:07:21.400 --> 00:07:23.436
And you took their remote-- (laughter)
00:07:23.503 --> 00:07:24.604
(laughter) [woo.]
00:07:24.670 --> 00:07:25.505
[woo.] yeah.
00:07:25.571 --> 00:07:26.572
Yeah. (laughter)
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.741
(laughter) but if you did all that,
00:07:28.808 --> 00:07:31.177
But if you did all that, they would never invite you
00:07:31.244 --> 00:07:32.211
They would never invite you back.
00:07:32.278 --> 00:07:34.213
Back. but the truth is they invited
00:07:34.280 --> 00:07:35.548
But the truth is they invited you to do it when they said,
00:07:35.615 --> 00:07:36.749
You to do it when they said, "make yourself at home."
00:07:36.816 --> 00:07:40.119
"make yourself at home." they didn't want you
00:07:40.186 --> 00:07:40.720
They didn't want you to abide.
00:07:40.786 --> 00:07:42.221
To abide. they just wanted you
00:07:42.288 --> 00:07:42.889
They just wanted you to drop by.
00:07:42.955 --> 00:07:44.824
To drop by. (laughter)
00:07:44.891 --> 00:07:47.293
(laughter) but jesus,
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:48.027
But jesus, what he's telling his
00:07:48.094 --> 00:07:48.895
What he's telling his disciples here is,
00:07:48.961 --> 00:07:50.630
Disciples here is, "i want you to feel so
00:07:50.696 --> 00:07:53.432
"i want you to feel so comfortable in my presence,
00:07:53.499 --> 00:07:55.001
Comfortable in my presence, that the times in your life
00:07:55.067 --> 00:07:56.202
That the times in your life when you're not comfortable,
00:07:56.269 --> 00:07:57.470
When you're not comfortable, it's because my presence
00:07:57.537 --> 00:07:58.571
It's because my presence isn't there."
00:07:58.638 --> 00:08:00.106
Isn't there." [yes.]
00:08:00.172 --> 00:08:01.007
[yes.] you see the problem with
00:08:01.073 --> 00:08:02.275
You see the problem with the church,
00:08:02.341 --> 00:08:02.775
The church, and one of the reasons why
00:08:02.842 --> 00:08:03.543
And one of the reasons why we're struggling with
00:08:03.609 --> 00:08:04.510
We're struggling with this issue of anxiety and
00:08:04.577 --> 00:08:05.778
This issue of anxiety and depression and mental illness
00:08:05.845 --> 00:08:07.413
Depression and mental illness is because we spend most of
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.081
Is because we spend most of our time focusing and abiding
00:08:09.148 --> 00:08:11.817
Our time focusing and abiding in what concerns us,
00:08:11.884 --> 00:08:13.252
In what concerns us, and worrying about things
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:14.520
And worrying about things we can't control.
00:08:14.587 --> 00:08:15.688
We can't control. and then we drop by and we
00:08:15.755 --> 00:08:16.989
And then we drop by and we visit and see jesus on sunday,
00:08:17.056 --> 00:08:19.525
Visit and see jesus on sunday, but we don't stay with him
00:08:19.592 --> 00:08:20.793
But we don't stay with him monday through friday.
00:08:20.860 --> 00:08:21.727
Monday through friday. [right.]
00:08:21.794 --> 00:08:22.261
[right.] [amen.]
00:08:22.328 --> 00:08:23.262
[amen.] look at what he told joshua
00:08:23.329 --> 00:08:24.430
Look at what he told joshua in joshua 1:8.
00:08:24.497 --> 00:08:25.431
In joshua 1:8. "this book of the law shall
00:08:25.498 --> 00:08:26.465
"this book of the law shall not depart from your mouth."
00:08:26.532 --> 00:08:27.900
Not depart from your mouth." that means that you're going
00:08:27.967 --> 00:08:28.768
That means that you're going to speak my word.
00:08:28.834 --> 00:08:30.870
To speak my word. you can't say it if you don't
00:08:30.937 --> 00:08:32.471
You can't say it if you don't know it.
00:08:32.538 --> 00:08:32.939
Know it. and the only way to know it
00:08:33.005 --> 00:08:33.906
And the only way to know it is to read it.
00:08:33.973 --> 00:08:35.174
Is to read it. [that's right.]
00:08:35.241 --> 00:08:35.808
[that's right.] then he says,
00:08:35.875 --> 00:08:36.442
Then he says, "you'll meditate upon it
00:08:36.509 --> 00:08:37.343
"you'll meditate upon it day and night."
00:08:37.410 --> 00:08:38.144
Day and night." he's saying this is what
00:08:38.210 --> 00:08:38.978
He's saying this is what you're going to think about,
00:08:39.045 --> 00:08:40.212
You're going to think about, this is how you're going to
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:41.247
This is how you're going to come to your conclusions
00:08:41.314 --> 00:08:42.348
Come to your conclusions and your decisions.
00:08:42.415 --> 00:08:43.382
And your decisions. you're going to let the truth

And the principles of god's word drive you.
00:08:45.318 --> 00:08:48.354
God's word drive you. and then he says you're going
00:08:48.421 --> 00:08:49.055
And then he says you're going to observe to do all that is
00:08:49.121 --> 00:08:51.023
To observe to do all that is written.
00:08:51.090 --> 00:08:51.424
Written. so he said you're going to
00:08:51.490 --> 00:08:52.191
So he said you're going to read it,
00:08:52.258 --> 00:08:52.825
Read it, you're going to speak it,
00:08:52.892 --> 00:08:53.826
You're going to speak it, you're going to think it,
00:08:53.893 --> 00:08:54.794
You're going to think it, and you're going to do it.
00:08:54.860 --> 00:08:56.162
And you're going to do it. and what would happen

00:08:57.163 --> 00:08:57.830
For joshua? "for then will i make your way
00:08:57.897 --> 00:08:59.865
"for then will i make your way prosperous,
00:08:59.932 --> 00:09:00.700
Prosperous, and then will you have
00:09:00.766 --> 00:09:02.301
And then will you have good success."
00:09:02.368 --> 00:09:02.969
Good success." some people want to know,
00:09:03.035 --> 00:09:03.869
Some people want to know, "why am i always struggling?
00:09:03.936 --> 00:09:05.438
"why am i always struggling? why am i always working
00:09:05.504 --> 00:09:06.872
Why am i always working so hard?
00:09:06.939 --> 00:09:07.340
So hard? why am i never getting ahead?"
00:09:07.406 --> 00:09:08.874
Why am i never getting ahead?" well, are you speaking

Are you thinking the word? are you doing the word?
00:09:12.178 --> 00:09:13.579
Are you doing the word? or is the word collecting
00:09:13.646 --> 00:09:14.981
Or is the word collecting dust,
00:09:15.047 --> 00:09:15.514
Dust, and you're out struggling
00:09:15.581 --> 00:09:16.549
And you're out struggling on your own?
00:09:16.616 --> 00:09:17.483
On your own? this is why jesus said,
00:09:17.550 --> 00:09:18.985
This is why jesus said, "apart from me
00:09:19.051 --> 00:09:20.152
"apart from me you can do nothing."
00:09:20.219 --> 00:09:23.122
You can do nothing." (applause)

That he would meditate on it day and night.
00:09:36.135 --> 00:09:36.836
Day and night. and he would be like a tree
00:09:36.902 --> 00:09:38.437

00:09:39.605 --> 00:09:40.439
Living water. and it would bring forth
00:09:40.506 --> 00:09:41.474
And it would bring forth its fruit in its season,
00:09:41.540 --> 00:09:43.843
Its fruit in its season, its leaf would not wither;
00:09:43.909 --> 00:09:45.945

00:10:47.673 --> 00:10:49.008
That anti-semitism
00:10:49.008 --> 00:10:50.443
Never sleeps.

A plan. i knew what corner i had to
00:12:20.666 --> 00:12:21.600
I knew what corner i had to start in,
00:12:21.667 --> 00:12:22.168
Start in, so i could get those lines
00:12:22.234 --> 00:12:23.269
So i could get those lines nice and straight,
00:12:23.335 --> 00:12:24.270

And i'd work from one side to the other,
00:12:28.841 --> 00:12:29.375
The other, and then take a half step
00:12:29.441 --> 00:12:30.176
And then take a half step back,
00:12:30.242 --> 00:12:30.676
Back, and then work back the other

Direction until i got all the way to the part of the room
00:12:33.345 --> 00:12:34.513
Way to the part of the room that i had started in,
00:12:34.580 --> 00:12:37.016
That i had started in, so that everything would be

Would make you want to lose your salvation,
00:12:42.655 --> 00:12:43.722
Your salvation, it was somebody putting

Now in the house that i grew up in,
00:12:58.103 --> 00:12:58.604
Grew up in, there was always this one room
00:12:58.671 --> 00:13:01.607
There was always this one room that the vacuum that we had
00:13:01.674 --> 00:13:04.610
That the vacuum that we had didn't have enough cord
00:13:04.677 --> 00:13:06.345
Didn't have enough cord to start and stop
00:13:06.412 --> 00:13:07.813
To start and stop in the same room.
00:13:07.880 --> 00:13:10.783
In the same room. you know what i'm talking
00:13:10.850 --> 00:13:11.350
You know what i'm talking about?
00:13:11.417 --> 00:13:12.084
About? [yes.]
00:13:12.151 --> 00:13:12.818
[yes.] you'd have to start on
00:13:12.885 --> 00:13:13.452
You'd have to start on this wall,
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:14.186
This wall, and you could only vacuum
00:13:14.253 --> 00:13:15.187
And you could only vacuum so far.
00:13:15.254 --> 00:13:15.788
So far. and then you'd have to come
00:13:15.855 --> 00:13:16.388
And then you'd have to come over and take the cord out
00:13:16.455 --> 00:13:17.456
Over and take the cord out and go over to the other wall,
00:13:17.523 --> 00:13:18.691
And go over to the other wall, and start to vacuum another.
00:13:18.757 --> 00:13:19.892
And start to vacuum another. and it would mess up
00:13:19.959 --> 00:13:20.726
And it would mess up the whole thing,
00:13:20.793 --> 00:13:21.327
The whole thing, because you're lines
00:13:21.393 --> 00:13:22.328
Because you're lines weren't right and everything
00:13:22.394 --> 00:13:23.229
Weren't right and everything was crooked, just--
00:13:23.295 --> 00:13:24.797

Room is i would always see how far i could go from that plug
00:13:35.140 --> 00:13:38.177
Far i could go from that plug before it would go out.
00:13:38.244 --> 00:13:40.212
Before it would go out. and i'd get all the way
00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:41.046
And i'd get all the way at the end of the cord,
00:13:41.113 --> 00:13:41.881
At the end of the cord, and i'm sitting there going
00:13:41.947 --> 00:13:42.581
And i'm sitting there going (makes vacuum sounds).
00:13:42.648 --> 00:13:44.350

Kids that are doing this on a daily basis.

A daily basis. they want to see how far away
00:13:59.832 --> 00:14:01.901
They want to see how far away from jesus they can get
00:14:01.967 --> 00:14:03.402
From jesus they can get and still feel the power.

Living is that the farther you get,
00:14:12.144 --> 00:14:12.945
You get, the less it takes
00:14:13.012 --> 00:14:14.013
The less it takes to disconnect you.

[come on.] [that's good, pastor.]
00:14:16.282 --> 00:14:17.816
[that's good, pastor.] when you're close,
00:14:17.883 --> 00:14:19.785
When you're close, you can go through some stuff,
00:14:19.852 --> 00:14:22.521
You can go through some stuff, because you've got a whole lot
00:14:22.588 --> 00:14:23.322
Because you've got a whole lot of cord to work with.
00:14:23.389 --> 00:14:25.624
Of cord to work with. but when you're way out here
00:14:25.691 --> 00:14:26.692
But when you're way out here on the end of your cord,
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:27.960
On the end of your cord, all it takes is just
00:14:28.027 --> 00:14:29.061
All it takes is just a little bit of misdirection,
00:14:29.128 --> 00:14:31.297
A little bit of misdirection, and you can be moving
00:14:31.363 --> 00:14:32.264
And you can be moving right along.
00:14:32.331 --> 00:14:32.965
Right along. me and jesus got our own thing
00:14:33.032 --> 00:14:34.300
Me and jesus got our own thing going.
00:14:34.366 --> 00:14:34.667
Going. (makes sound of vacuum
00:14:34.733 --> 00:14:35.634
(makes sound of vacuum stopping)
00:14:35.701 --> 00:14:36.635
Stopping) (laughter)
00:14:36.702 --> 00:14:38.871
(laughter) and just that fast,
00:14:38.938 --> 00:14:40.306
And just that fast, his power,
00:14:40.372 --> 00:14:40.940
His power, his presence,
00:14:41.006 --> 00:14:41.573
His presence, his peace,
00:14:41.640 --> 00:14:42.207
His peace, his joy is gone.
00:14:42.274 --> 00:14:44.443
His joy is gone. [yes.]
00:14:44.510 --> 00:14:45.544
[yes.] [come on.]
00:14:45.611 --> 00:14:46.445
[come on.] this is why staying
00:14:46.512 --> 00:14:47.546
This is why staying connected,
00:14:47.613 --> 00:14:48.180
Connected, being in his presence,
00:14:48.247 --> 00:14:50.416
Being in his presence, abiding with him
00:14:50.482 --> 00:14:51.984
Abiding with him is so important.
00:14:52.051 --> 00:14:54.987
Is so important. but one of the problems that
00:14:55.054 --> 00:14:55.788
But one of the problems that you face is that you create
00:14:55.854 --> 00:14:57.589
You face is that you create these disconnections by what i
00:14:57.656 --> 00:14:59.458
These disconnections by what i call "overthinking."
00:14:59.525 --> 00:15:01.894
Call "overthinking." [come on.]
00:15:01.961 --> 00:15:02.328
[come on.] now i'm not talking about you,
00:15:02.394 --> 00:15:03.295
Now i'm not talking about you, but maybe there's some people
00:15:03.362 --> 00:15:04.163
But maybe there's some people you know.
00:15:04.229 --> 00:15:04.730
You know. do you know anyone who is
00:15:04.797 --> 00:15:05.731
Do you know anyone who is a chronic overthinker?
00:15:05.798 --> 00:15:08.300
A chronic overthinker? (laughter)
00:15:08.367 --> 00:15:09.368
(laughter) y'all are thinking about
00:15:09.435 --> 00:15:10.202
Y'all are thinking about raising your hands right now.
00:15:10.269 --> 00:15:12.171
Raising your hands right now. (laughter)
00:15:12.237 --> 00:15:12.871
(laughter) do i do it?
00:15:12.938 --> 00:15:13.339
Do i do it? do i not do it?
00:15:13.405 --> 00:15:14.073
Do i not do it? if i do it,
00:15:14.139 --> 00:15:14.740
If i do it, will people say something
00:15:14.807 --> 00:15:15.808
Will people say something about me?
00:15:15.874 --> 00:15:16.342
About me? are they going to judge me?
00:15:16.408 --> 00:15:18.010
Are they going to judge me? (laughter)
00:15:18.077 --> 00:15:20.512
(laughter) i mean just be spontaneous.
00:15:20.579 --> 00:15:22.081
I mean just be spontaneous. anybody overthink?
00:15:22.147 --> 00:15:23.882
Anybody overthink? okay.
00:15:23.949 --> 00:15:24.249
Okay. thank god.
00:15:24.316 --> 00:15:25.250
Thank god. (laughter)
00:15:25.317 --> 00:15:26.885
(laughter) and i can prove that
00:15:26.952 --> 00:15:27.586
And i can prove that overthinking causes
00:15:27.653 --> 00:15:28.821
Overthinking causes depression,
00:15:28.887 --> 00:15:29.388
Depression, because i don't think that
00:15:29.455 --> 00:15:30.189
Because i don't think that i've ever had a conversation
00:15:30.255 --> 00:15:31.557
I've ever had a conversation with somebody who shows up to
00:15:31.623 --> 00:15:32.591
With somebody who shows up to work and says,
00:15:32.658 --> 00:15:33.459
Work and says, (yawns)
00:15:33.525 --> 00:15:34.126
(yawns) "i lost so much sleep last
00:15:34.193 --> 00:15:35.594
"i lost so much sleep last night thinking about how happy
00:15:35.661 --> 00:15:37.363
Night thinking about how happy i am."
00:15:37.429 --> 00:15:38.764
I am." (laughter)
00:15:38.831 --> 00:15:41.200
(laughter) "i just couldn't get, uh,
00:15:41.266 --> 00:15:43.102
"i just couldn't get, uh, one moment's rest
00:15:43.168 --> 00:15:44.236
One moment's rest because i'm so blessed."
00:15:44.303 --> 00:15:46.905
Because i'm so blessed." (laughter)
00:15:46.972 --> 00:15:47.639
(laughter) "i stayed up staring at
00:15:47.706 --> 00:15:48.640
"i stayed up staring at the ceiling,
00:15:48.707 --> 00:15:49.174
The ceiling, thinking the joy of the lord
00:15:49.241 --> 00:15:50.709
Thinking the joy of the lord is my strength."
00:15:50.776 --> 00:15:52.711
Is my strength." (laughter)
00:15:52.778 --> 00:15:54.179
(laughter) "wow."
00:15:54.246 --> 00:15:55.581
"wow." (laughter)
00:15:55.647 --> 00:15:57.016
(laughter) that's not how it works.
00:15:57.082 --> 00:15:59.318
That's not how it works. because when your mind is
00:15:59.385 --> 00:16:00.386
Because when your mind is connected to god's joy,
00:16:00.452 --> 00:16:01.687
Connected to god's joy, and god's peace,
00:16:01.754 --> 00:16:02.688
And god's peace, and god's-- god's provision,
00:16:02.755 --> 00:16:04.590
And god's-- god's provision, and god's promise,
00:16:04.656 --> 00:16:05.224
And god's promise, you know what you do?
00:16:05.290 --> 00:16:06.425
You know what you do? (makes snoring sounds)
00:16:06.492 --> 00:16:08.060
(makes snoring sounds) (laughter)
00:16:08.127 --> 00:16:08.961
(laughter) [amen.]
00:16:09.028 --> 00:16:09.895
[amen.] you could sleep in a war zone.
00:16:09.962 --> 00:16:11.797
You could sleep in a war zone. (laughter)
00:16:11.864 --> 00:16:12.965
(laughter) [amen.]
00:16:13.032 --> 00:16:13.999
[amen.] but when you're overthinking,
00:16:14.066 --> 00:16:15.167
But when you're overthinking, you're laying in bed and
00:16:15.234 --> 00:16:16.101
You're laying in bed and you're thinking to yourself
00:16:16.168 --> 00:16:17.336
You're thinking to yourself about all of the conversations
00:16:17.403 --> 00:16:18.604
About all of the conversations and interactions and things
00:16:18.670 --> 00:16:19.772
And interactions and things that you should have done
00:16:19.838 --> 00:16:20.672
That you should have done that you didn't do,
00:16:20.739 --> 00:16:21.507
That you didn't do, and what you should have said
00:16:21.573 --> 00:16:22.307
And what you should have said that you didn't say,
00:16:22.374 --> 00:16:23.108
That you didn't say, and how they treated you and
00:16:23.175 --> 00:16:24.576
And how they treated you and shouldn't have treated you,
00:16:24.643 --> 00:16:25.511
Shouldn't have treated you, and if they really felt
00:16:25.577 --> 00:16:26.412
And if they really felt like that,
00:16:26.478 --> 00:16:26.945
Like that, then they wouldn't act
00:16:27.012 --> 00:16:27.713
Then they wouldn't act like this,
00:16:27.780 --> 00:16:28.280
Like this, and why did they,
00:16:28.347 --> 00:16:29.048
And why did they, and when did they,
00:16:29.114 --> 00:16:29.782
And when did they, and how could they,
00:16:29.848 --> 00:16:30.649
And how could they, and how dare they.
00:16:30.716 --> 00:16:33.919
And how dare they. and then all of a sudden,
00:16:33.986 --> 00:16:34.486
And then all of a sudden, the alarm clock goes off,
00:16:34.553 --> 00:16:35.621
The alarm clock goes off, and you wake up tired.
00:16:35.687 --> 00:16:37.689
And you wake up tired. (yawns)
00:16:37.756 --> 00:16:38.390
(yawns) (laughter)
00:16:38.457 --> 00:16:39.024
(laughter) why?
00:16:39.091 --> 00:16:39.591
Why? because you've been working
00:16:39.658 --> 00:16:40.459
Because you've been working when you should have been
00:16:40.526 --> 00:16:41.393
When you should have been resting.
00:16:41.460 --> 00:16:42.494
Resting. [yes.]
00:16:42.561 --> 00:16:43.295
[yes.] your thinking has not only
00:16:43.362 --> 00:16:45.864
Your thinking has not only robbed you of sleep,
00:16:45.931 --> 00:16:47.066
Robbed you of sleep, but it's caused mental
00:16:47.132 --> 00:16:47.933
But it's caused mental and emotional fatigue that
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:49.268
And emotional fatigue that eventually has physical
00:16:49.334 --> 00:16:50.736
Eventually has physical manifestations and emotional
00:16:50.803 --> 00:16:52.237
Manifestations and emotional frustration.
00:16:52.304 --> 00:16:54.473
Frustration. and you wonder why you feel
00:16:54.540 --> 00:16:55.674
And you wonder why you feel the way you feel.
00:16:55.741 --> 00:16:56.508
The way you feel. it's because you're holding
00:16:56.575 --> 00:16:57.576
It's because you're holding onto things that god said
00:16:57.643 --> 00:16:59.344
Onto things that god said let go of.
00:16:59.411 --> 00:17:00.612
Let go of. [amen.]
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:01.680
[amen.] this is why paul's answer is,
00:17:01.747 --> 00:17:03.782
This is why paul's answer is, "but in everything."
00:17:03.849 --> 00:17:07.519
"but in everything." "be anxious for nothing,
00:17:07.586 --> 00:17:09.088
"be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer
00:17:09.154 --> 00:17:11.990
But in everything by prayer and supplication,
00:17:12.057 --> 00:17:13.125
And supplication, with thanksgiving."
00:17:13.192 --> 00:17:16.862
With thanksgiving." this is how you take
00:17:16.929 --> 00:17:18.030
This is how you take the medicine,
00:17:18.097 --> 00:17:18.630
The medicine, ladies and gentlemen,
00:17:18.697 --> 00:17:19.898
Ladies and gentlemen, "with thanksgiving."
00:17:19.965 --> 00:17:23.502
"with thanksgiving." your thanksgiving is the key
00:17:23.569 --> 00:17:25.437
Your thanksgiving is the key that unlocks the gates
00:17:25.504 --> 00:17:26.672
That unlocks the gates of heaven and allows you into
00:17:26.738 --> 00:17:28.774
Of heaven and allows you into god's presence.
00:17:28.841 --> 00:17:29.541
God's presence. this is why david said,
00:17:29.608 --> 00:17:30.609
This is why david said, "enter into his gates
00:17:30.676 --> 00:17:31.844
"enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
00:17:31.910 --> 00:17:33.045
With thanksgiving, and into his courts
00:17:33.112 --> 00:17:34.246
And into his courts with praise."
00:17:34.313 --> 00:17:35.013
With praise." don't go knock on heaven's
00:17:35.080 --> 00:17:36.782
Don't go knock on heaven's door with a long list of
00:17:36.849 --> 00:17:38.217
Door with a long list of things you want to complain
00:17:38.283 --> 00:17:39.651
Things you want to complain about.
00:17:39.718 --> 00:17:40.219
About. god already knows what you're
00:17:40.285 --> 00:17:41.687
God already knows what you're dealing with.
00:17:41.753 --> 00:17:42.521
Dealing with. god knew about it before you
00:17:42.588 --> 00:17:43.956
God knew about it before you ever found out about it.
00:17:44.022 --> 00:17:45.157
Ever found out about it. he knows how to get you
00:17:45.224 --> 00:17:46.358
He knows how to get you through it.
00:17:46.425 --> 00:17:46.892
Through it. he knows when you're coming
00:17:46.959 --> 00:17:47.993
He knows when you're coming out of it.
00:17:48.060 --> 00:17:48.594
Out of it. he knows where everything that
00:17:48.660 --> 00:17:49.828
He knows where everything that you're ever going to require
00:17:49.895 --> 00:17:51.196
You're ever going to require can be found
00:17:51.263 --> 00:17:52.097
Can be found and when you'll receive it.
00:17:52.164 --> 00:17:53.332
And when you'll receive it. so whenever you go into his
00:17:53.398 --> 00:17:54.933
So whenever you go into his presence,
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:55.667
Presence, whenever anxiety shows up,
00:17:55.734 --> 00:17:57.736
Whenever anxiety shows up, whenever concern plagues
00:17:57.803 --> 00:17:59.271
Whenever concern plagues your mind,
00:17:59.338 --> 00:18:00.038
Your mind, you lift your hands,
00:18:00.105 --> 00:18:01.240
You lift your hands, and you say,
00:18:01.306 --> 00:18:01.773
And you say, "god, i thank you.
00:18:01.840 --> 00:18:03.408
"god, i thank you. i thank you that you've never
00:18:03.475 --> 00:18:04.643
I thank you that you've never failed me before,
00:18:04.710 --> 00:18:06.044
Failed me before, and you're not going to
00:18:06.111 --> 00:18:06.812
And you're not going to fail me now.
00:18:06.879 --> 00:18:07.813
Fail me now. i thank you that
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:08.747
I thank you that in your sovereignty,
00:18:08.814 --> 00:18:09.815
In your sovereignty, you knew about this.
00:18:09.882 --> 00:18:11.150
You knew about this. and in your grace,
00:18:11.216 --> 00:18:12.251
And in your grace, you're going to give me the
00:18:12.317 --> 00:18:13.152
You're going to give me the strength to sustain myself,
00:18:13.218 --> 00:18:15.120
Strength to sustain myself, because your grace is
00:18:15.187 --> 00:18:16.288
Because your grace is sufficient for me.
00:18:16.355 --> 00:18:17.456
Sufficient for me. you promised i hadn't--
00:18:17.523 --> 00:18:18.724
You promised i hadn't-- i wouldn't fight this alone,
00:18:18.790 --> 00:18:20.092
I wouldn't fight this alone, because you'd never leave me
00:18:20.159 --> 00:18:21.326
Because you'd never leave me nor would you forsake me.
00:18:21.393 --> 00:18:22.895
Nor would you forsake me. you promised you'd defend me,
00:18:22.961 --> 00:18:24.563
You promised you'd defend me, because your name is the name
00:18:24.630 --> 00:18:26.665
Because your name is the name that is above every name.
00:18:26.732 --> 00:18:28.100
That is above every name. you are a strong tower.
00:18:28.167 --> 00:18:30.102
You are a strong tower. you are a mighty fortress.
00:18:30.169 --> 00:18:32.037
You are a mighty fortress. you will protect me.
00:18:32.104 --> 00:18:33.739
You will protect me. you will assign your angels
