Pastor matt hagee: last week,
00:00:14.008 --> 00:00:14.875
Pastor matt hagee: last week, we considered what the bible
00:00:14.942 --> 00:00:15.843
We considered what the bible has to say about the cause
00:00:15.910 --> 00:00:19.413
Has to say about the cause of depression.
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.348
Of depression. proverbs 12:25,
00:00:21.415 --> 00:00:23.384
Proverbs 12:25, it very clearly says that
00:00:23.451 --> 00:00:24.652
It very clearly says that anxiety in the heart
00:00:24.718 --> 00:00:26.587
Anxiety in the heart of a man causes depression,
00:00:26.654 --> 00:00:29.023
Of a man causes depression, but a good word..."
00:00:29.090 --> 00:00:30.458
But a good word..." somebody say,
00:00:30.524 --> 00:00:31.092
Somebody say, "a good word."
00:00:31.158 --> 00:00:32.593
"a good word." [a good word.]
00:00:32.660 --> 00:00:33.494
[a good word.] not every word is good.
00:00:33.561 --> 00:00:35.896
Not every word is good. but when you receive a good
00:00:35.963 --> 00:00:37.364
But when you receive a good word from god's word,
00:00:37.431 --> 00:00:39.567
Word from god's word, it drives depression out.
00:00:39.633 --> 00:00:42.036
It drives depression out. "a good word makes it glad."
00:00:42.103 --> 00:00:44.171
"a good word makes it glad." god's word is the cure that
00:00:44.238 --> 00:00:46.307
God's word is the cure that he has prescribed for each
00:00:46.373 --> 00:00:48.442
He has prescribed for each and every one us.
00:00:48.509 --> 00:00:50.344
And every one us. it doesn't matter what
00:00:50.411 --> 00:00:51.112
It doesn't matter what your need is.
00:00:51.178 --> 00:00:52.179
Your need is. god's word can cure it.
00:00:52.246 --> 00:00:54.915
God's word can cure it. god's word doesn't treat
00:00:54.982 --> 00:00:56.083
God's word doesn't treat symptoms.
00:00:56.150 --> 00:00:56.984
Symptoms. god's word overcomes
00:00:57.051 --> 00:00:58.452
God's word overcomes the problem.
00:00:58.519 --> 00:00:59.453
The problem. [amen.]
00:00:59.520 --> 00:00:59.887
[amen.] the abundant life that christ
00:00:59.954 --> 00:01:01.322
The abundant life that christ wants to give to every person
00:01:01.388 --> 00:01:03.190
Wants to give to every person who asks for it is the kind of
00:01:03.257 --> 00:01:05.392
Who asks for it is the kind of life that not only fills up
00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:07.228
Life that not only fills up every deficiency,
00:01:07.294 --> 00:01:08.462
Every deficiency, but it lifts the heaviness
00:01:08.529 --> 00:01:09.797
But it lifts the heaviness of depression off of you.
00:01:09.864 --> 00:01:12.833
Of depression off of you. [amen.]
00:01:12.900 --> 00:01:13.467
[amen.] but how do you apply it?
00:01:13.534 --> 00:01:15.736
But how do you apply it? have you ever gotten
00:01:15.803 --> 00:01:16.470
Have you ever gotten a prescription,
00:01:16.537 --> 00:01:17.371
A prescription, and the pharmacist says,
00:01:17.438 --> 00:01:18.539
And the pharmacist says, "i need to give you some
00:01:18.606 --> 00:01:19.373
"i need to give you some instructions about when and
00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:20.774
Instructions about when and how to use that medication"?
00:01:20.841 --> 00:01:23.944
How to use that medication"? [yes.]
00:01:24.011 --> 00:01:25.412
[yes.] oh, i guess y'all are
00:01:25.479 --> 00:01:26.013
Oh, i guess y'all are that essential oils crowd.
00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:27.448
That essential oils crowd. y'all don't do none of
00:01:27.515 --> 00:01:28.149
Y'all don't do none of these medications thing.
00:01:28.215 --> 00:01:29.683
These medications thing. (laughter)
00:01:29.750 --> 00:01:31.385
(laughter) well, jesus gives
00:01:31.452 --> 00:01:32.319
Well, jesus gives the prescription.
00:01:32.386 --> 00:01:33.754
The prescription. "these words i have spoken
00:01:33.821 --> 00:01:34.989
"these words i have spoken to you...
00:01:35.055 --> 00:01:35.422
To you... that your joy may be full."
00:01:35.489 --> 00:01:36.757
That your joy may be full." and paul operates
00:01:36.824 --> 00:01:38.692
And paul operates in philippians somewhat like
00:01:38.759 --> 00:01:39.960
In philippians somewhat like the pharmacist who says,
00:01:40.027 --> 00:01:41.095
The pharmacist who says, "here's exactly how you
00:01:41.162 --> 00:01:42.863
"here's exactly how you apply it."
00:01:42.930 --> 00:01:44.632
Apply it." he says that there's an issue
00:01:44.698 --> 00:01:46.133
He says that there's an issue with anxiety and your contact
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.569
With anxiety and your contact to the source of power.
00:01:48.636 --> 00:01:51.605
To the source of power. because connection with christ
00:01:51.672 --> 00:01:53.207
Because connection with christ is how you receive the power
00:01:53.274 --> 00:01:54.875
Is how you receive the power to overcome depression.
00:01:54.942 --> 00:01:57.611
To overcome depression. so paul says,
00:01:57.678 --> 00:01:59.079
So paul says, "be anxious for nothing."
00:01:59.146 --> 00:02:01.615
"be anxious for nothing." say that with me.
00:02:01.682 --> 00:02:02.583
Say that with me. "be anxious for nothing."
00:02:02.650 --> 00:02:05.219
"be anxious for nothing." now paul was not speaking
00:02:05.286 --> 00:02:06.954
Now paul was not speaking about the light things of life
00:02:07.021 --> 00:02:08.689
About the light things of life that you don't need to worry
00:02:08.756 --> 00:02:09.790
That you don't need to worry about like where are we going
00:02:09.857 --> 00:02:10.824
About like where are we going to have lunch and is
00:02:10.891 --> 00:02:11.759
To have lunch and is the preacher going to be done
00:02:11.825 --> 00:02:12.626
The preacher going to be done on time.
00:02:12.693 --> 00:02:14.128
On time. (laughter)
00:02:14.195 --> 00:02:15.329
(laughter) paul, when he says,
00:02:15.396 --> 00:02:16.163
Paul, when he says, "be anxious for nothing,"
00:02:16.230 --> 00:02:17.298
"be anxious for nothing," he means it doesn't matter
00:02:17.364 --> 00:02:18.832
He means it doesn't matter what's going on in the world
00:02:18.899 --> 00:02:20.167
What's going on in the world around you,
00:02:20.234 --> 00:02:21.001
Around you, don't let it bother you,
00:02:21.068 --> 00:02:23.504
Don't let it bother you, because you have a source that
00:02:23.571 --> 00:02:24.738
Because you have a source that you're connected to
00:02:24.805 --> 00:02:25.773
You're connected to that's stronger than anything
00:02:25.839 --> 00:02:26.941
That's stronger than anything you'll ever face.
00:02:27.007 --> 00:02:28.209
You'll ever face. [amen.]
00:02:28.275 --> 00:02:30.511
[amen.] now in proverbs 12,
00:02:30.578 --> 00:02:31.845
Now in proverbs 12, last week,
00:02:31.912 --> 00:02:32.613
Last week, the word "anxiety" literally
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:33.847
The word "anxiety" literally meant heaviness.
00:02:33.914 --> 00:02:34.848
Meant heaviness. it was like a burden that you
00:02:34.915 --> 00:02:35.983
It was like a burden that you were carrying that caused

A man to stoop over whenever that anxiety is in your heart.

That anxiety is in your heart. in this utilization,
00:02:41.088 --> 00:02:43.691
In this utilization, the word "anxious" literally
00:02:43.757 --> 00:02:45.025
The word "anxious" literally means to be divided
00:02:45.092 --> 00:02:46.961
Means to be divided in your thinking.
00:02:47.027 --> 00:02:48.796
In your thinking. it means that you have allowed
00:02:48.862 --> 00:02:50.164
It means that you have allowed concern and worry to come into
00:02:50.231 --> 00:02:51.932
Concern and worry to come into your mind and into your heart,
00:02:51.999 --> 00:02:53.601
Your mind and into your heart, and now you're confused.
00:02:53.667 --> 00:02:56.303
And now you're confused. it means to be separated.
00:02:56.370 --> 00:02:58.739
It means to be separated. [come on.]
00:02:58.806 --> 00:02:59.406
[come on.] now one of the things that i
00:02:59.473 --> 00:03:00.207
Now one of the things that i noticed as i read research
00:03:00.274 --> 00:03:01.475
Noticed as i read research papers on how many people were
00:03:01.542 --> 00:03:03.043
Papers on how many people were dealing with depression
00:03:03.110 --> 00:03:04.445
Dealing with depression in the world today,
00:03:04.511 --> 00:03:05.646
In the world today, one of the common symptoms
00:03:05.713 --> 00:03:07.114
One of the common symptoms that they all described as
00:03:07.181 --> 00:03:09.283
That they all described as a feeling they carry
00:03:09.350 --> 00:03:10.451
A feeling they carry is that they're separated.

They feel disconnected. even in a crowd filled with

Even in a crowd filled with people who know them
00:03:15.789 --> 00:03:17.091
People who know them and love them,
00:03:17.157 --> 00:03:17.891
And love them, when you're depressed,
00:03:17.958 --> 00:03:19.093
When you're depressed, you don't feel like you have

You don't feel like you have anyone that you can talk to,
00:03:20.427 --> 00:03:21.895
Anyone that you can talk to, and that you're all alone.
00:03:21.962 --> 00:03:24.465
And that you're all alone. it's not the circumstances
00:03:24.531 --> 00:03:25.599
It's not the circumstances and the surroundings
00:03:25.666 --> 00:03:26.500
And the surroundings on the outside.
00:03:26.567 --> 00:03:27.568
On the outside. it's the thing that's dividing
00:03:27.635 --> 00:03:29.136
It's the thing that's dividing you on the inside.
00:03:29.203 --> 00:03:31.839
You on the inside. they've allowed concern
00:03:31.905 --> 00:03:33.507
They've allowed concern to make them anxious.
00:03:33.574 --> 00:03:34.441
To make them anxious. they've allowed worry and fear
00:03:34.508 --> 00:03:36.143
They've allowed worry and fear to flood their heart
00:03:36.210 --> 00:03:37.111
To flood their heart and their mind.
00:03:37.177 --> 00:03:37.745
And their mind. and now they're feeling
00:03:37.811 --> 00:03:38.879
And now they're feeling as though they're not
00:03:38.946 --> 00:03:39.880
As though they're not connected to the reality of
00:03:39.947 --> 00:03:41.282
Connected to the reality of the world that they live in.
00:03:41.348 --> 00:03:42.316
The world that they live in. what you need to know is it
00:03:42.383 --> 00:03:43.751
What you need to know is it doesn't matter what's going on
00:03:43.817 --> 00:03:45.319
Doesn't matter what's going on around you.
00:03:45.386 --> 00:03:46.186
Around you. you still have a god who sits
00:03:46.253 --> 00:03:47.955
You still have a god who sits upon the throne and holds
00:03:48.022 --> 00:03:49.456

This earth in the palm of his hands.
00:03:50.891 --> 00:03:51.625
His hands. he still has the keys to
00:03:51.692 --> 00:03:53.127
He still has the keys to death, hell and the grave.
00:03:53.193 --> 00:03:54.428
Death, hell and the grave. and he still has given you the

Victory through jesus christ, your savior.
00:03:57.865 --> 00:03:58.565
Your savior. you're never disconnected from
00:03:58.632 --> 00:04:00.801
You're never disconnected from his love,
00:04:00.868 --> 00:04:01.702
His love, because he said,
00:04:01.769 --> 00:04:02.403
Because he said, "i will be with you always."
00:04:02.469 --> 00:04:04.104
"i will be with you always." you're never disconnected from
00:04:04.171 --> 00:04:05.673
You're never disconnected from his grace,
00:04:05.739 --> 00:04:06.540
His grace, because where sin did abound,
00:04:06.607 --> 00:04:08.342
Because where sin did abound, grace did that much more
00:04:08.409 --> 00:04:09.576
Grace did that much more abound.
00:04:09.643 --> 00:04:10.110
Abound. you're never disconnected from
00:04:10.177 --> 00:04:11.845
You're never disconnected from his mercy,
00:04:11.912 --> 00:04:12.746
His mercy, because his mercies are
00:04:12.813 --> 00:04:14.114
Because his mercies are renewed every morning.
00:04:14.181 --> 00:04:15.649
Renewed every morning. don't let the world that
00:04:15.716 --> 00:04:16.984
Don't let the world that we live in steal the joy of
00:04:17.051 --> 00:04:18.986
We live in steal the joy of the lord that's inside you.
00:04:19.053 --> 00:04:20.521
The lord that's inside you. but remember what nehemiah
00:04:20.587 --> 00:04:22.056
But remember what nehemiah said.
00:04:22.122 --> 00:04:22.690
Said. "the joy of the lord
00:04:22.756 --> 00:04:24.391
"the joy of the lord is my strength."
00:04:24.458 --> 00:04:26.260
Is my strength." give the lord a handclap
00:04:26.327 --> 00:04:27.428
Give the lord a handclap of praise.
00:04:27.494 --> 00:04:28.896
Of praise. (applause)
00:04:28.962 --> 00:04:35.035
(applause) when you're anxious,
00:04:35.102 --> 00:04:37.671
When you're anxious, you feel disconnected
00:04:37.738 --> 00:04:38.639
You feel disconnected and divided.
00:04:38.706 --> 00:04:40.507
And divided. and this disconnection creates
00:04:40.574 --> 00:04:41.942
And this disconnection creates frustration.
00:04:42.009 --> 00:04:42.776
Frustration. and this frustration only adds
00:04:42.843 --> 00:04:44.912
And this frustration only adds to the intensity of
00:04:44.978 --> 00:04:46.246
To the intensity of the depression,
00:04:46.313 --> 00:04:46.914
The depression, which is why paul said,
00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:48.482
Which is why paul said, "be anxious for --" what?
00:04:48.549 --> 00:04:50.451
"be anxious for --" what? [nothing.]
00:04:50.517 --> 00:04:51.051
[nothing.] "-- nothing."
00:04:51.118 --> 00:04:52.052
"-- nothing." now you can say,
00:04:52.119 --> 00:04:52.619
Now you can say, "ah, that's easy for you
00:04:52.686 --> 00:04:53.387
"ah, that's easy for you to say."
00:04:53.454 --> 00:04:54.321
To say." (laughter)
00:04:54.388 --> 00:04:54.988
(laughter) i didn't say it.
00:04:55.055 --> 00:04:55.522
I didn't say it. paul did.
00:04:55.589 --> 00:04:56.490
Paul did. [amen.]
00:04:56.557 --> 00:04:57.958
[amen.] john 15,

A refreshment, and then they said something

And then they said something they really don't mean?
00:06:54.475 --> 00:06:56.910
They really don't mean? they said,
00:06:56.977 --> 00:06:57.311
They said, "make yourself at --" what?
00:06:57.377 --> 00:06:59.379
"make yourself at --" what? [home.]
00:06:59.446 --> 00:07:00.280
[home.] they don't mean that.
00:07:00.347 --> 00:07:01.949
They don't mean that. (laughter)
00:07:02.015 --> 00:07:05.619
(laughter) it might sound sincere,
00:07:05.686 --> 00:07:06.854
It might sound sincere, but it ain't true.
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:08.555
But it ain't true. (laughter)
00:07:08.622 --> 00:07:09.389
(laughter) because if you went into their

House and you kicked off your shoes like you kick them
00:07:11.625 --> 00:07:12.860
Your shoes like you kick them off at your house,
00:07:12.926 --> 00:07:14.695
Off at your house, and you sat in
00:07:14.761 --> 00:07:15.629
And you sat in the big chair --
00:07:15.696 --> 00:07:16.997
The big chair -- (laughter)
00:07:17.064 --> 00:07:18.465
(laughter) everybody knows about
00:07:18.532 --> 00:07:19.032
Everybody knows about the big chair, right?
00:07:19.099 --> 00:07:20.400
The big chair, right? (laughter)
00:07:20.467 --> 00:07:21.335
(laughter) and you took their remote--
00:07:21.401 --> 00:07:23.437
And you took their remote-- (laughter)
00:07:23.504 --> 00:07:24.605
(laughter) [woo.]
00:07:24.671 --> 00:07:25.506
[woo.] yeah.
00:07:25.572 --> 00:07:26.573
Yeah. (laughter)
00:07:26.640 --> 00:07:28.742
(laughter) but if you did all that,
00:07:28.809 --> 00:07:31.178
But if you did all that, they would never invite you
00:07:31.245 --> 00:07:32.212
They would never invite you back.
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.214
Back. but the truth is they invited
00:07:34.281 --> 00:07:35.549
But the truth is they invited you to do it when they said,
00:07:35.616 --> 00:07:36.750
You to do it when they said, "make yourself at home."
00:07:36.817 --> 00:07:40.120
"make yourself at home." they didn't want you
00:07:40.187 --> 00:07:40.721
They didn't want you to abide.
00:07:40.787 --> 00:07:42.222
To abide. they just wanted you
00:07:42.289 --> 00:07:42.890
They just wanted you to drop by.
00:07:42.956 --> 00:07:44.825
To drop by. (laughter)
00:07:44.892 --> 00:07:47.294
(laughter) but jesus,
00:07:47.361 --> 00:07:48.028
But jesus, what he's telling his
00:07:48.095 --> 00:07:48.896
What he's telling his disciples here is,
00:07:48.962 --> 00:07:50.631
Disciples here is, "i want you to feel so
00:07:50.697 --> 00:07:53.433
"i want you to feel so comfortable in my presence,
00:07:53.500 --> 00:07:55.002
Comfortable in my presence, that the times in your life
00:07:55.068 --> 00:07:56.203
That the times in your life when you're not comfortable,
00:07:56.270 --> 00:07:57.471
When you're not comfortable, it's because my presence
00:07:57.538 --> 00:07:58.572
It's because my presence isn't there."
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:00.107
Isn't there." [yes.]
00:08:00.173 --> 00:08:01.008
[yes.] you see the problem with
00:08:01.074 --> 00:08:02.276
You see the problem with the church,
00:08:02.342 --> 00:08:02.776
The church, and one of the reasons why
00:08:02.843 --> 00:08:03.544
And one of the reasons why we're struggling with
00:08:03.610 --> 00:08:04.511
We're struggling with this issue of anxiety and
00:08:04.578 --> 00:08:05.779
This issue of anxiety and depression and mental illness
00:08:05.846 --> 00:08:07.414
Depression and mental illness is because we spend most of
00:08:07.481 --> 00:08:09.082
Is because we spend most of our time focusing and abiding
00:08:09.149 --> 00:08:11.818
Our time focusing and abiding in what concerns us,
00:08:11.885 --> 00:08:13.253
In what concerns us, and worrying about things
00:08:13.320 --> 00:08:14.521
And worrying about things we can't control.
00:08:14.588 --> 00:08:15.689
We can't control. and then we drop by and we
00:08:15.756 --> 00:08:16.990
And then we drop by and we visit and see jesus on sunday,
00:08:17.057 --> 00:08:19.526
Visit and see jesus on sunday, but we don't stay with him
00:08:19.593 --> 00:08:20.794
But we don't stay with him monday through friday.
00:08:20.861 --> 00:08:21.728
Monday through friday. [right.]
00:08:21.795 --> 00:08:22.262
[right.] [amen.]
00:08:22.329 --> 00:08:23.263
[amen.] look at what he told joshua
00:08:23.330 --> 00:08:24.431
Look at what he told joshua in joshua 1:8.
00:08:24.498 --> 00:08:25.432
In joshua 1:8. "this book of the law shall
00:08:25.499 --> 00:08:26.466
"this book of the law shall not depart from your mouth."
00:08:26.533 --> 00:08:27.901
Not depart from your mouth." that means that you're going
00:08:27.968 --> 00:08:28.769
That means that you're going to speak my word.
00:08:28.835 --> 00:08:30.871
To speak my word. you can't say it if you don't
00:08:30.938 --> 00:08:32.472
You can't say it if you don't know it.
00:08:32.539 --> 00:08:32.940
Know it. and the only way to know it
00:08:33.006 --> 00:08:33.907
And the only way to know it is to read it.
00:08:33.974 --> 00:08:35.175
Is to read it. [that's right.]
00:08:35.242 --> 00:08:35.809
[that's right.] then he says,
00:08:35.876 --> 00:08:36.443
Then he says, "you'll meditate upon it
00:08:36.510 --> 00:08:37.344
"you'll meditate upon it day and night."
00:08:37.411 --> 00:08:38.145
Day and night." he's saying this is what
00:08:38.211 --> 00:08:38.979
He's saying this is what you're going to think about,
00:08:39.046 --> 00:08:40.213
You're going to think about, this is how you're going to
00:08:40.280 --> 00:08:41.248
This is how you're going to come to your conclusions
00:08:41.315 --> 00:08:42.349
Come to your conclusions and your decisions.
00:08:42.416 --> 00:08:43.383
And your decisions. you're going to let the truth

And the principles of god's word drive you.
00:08:45.319 --> 00:08:48.355
God's word drive you. and then he says you're going
00:08:48.422 --> 00:08:49.056
And then he says you're going to observe to do all that is
00:08:49.122 --> 00:08:51.024
To observe to do all that is written.
00:08:51.091 --> 00:08:51.425
Written. so he said you're going to
00:08:51.491 --> 00:08:52.192
So he said you're going to read it,
00:08:52.259 --> 00:08:52.826
Read it, you're going to speak it,
00:08:52.893 --> 00:08:53.827
You're going to speak it, you're going to think it,
00:08:53.894 --> 00:08:54.795
You're going to think it, and you're going to do it.
00:08:54.861 --> 00:08:56.163
And you're going to do it. and what would happen

00:08:57.164 --> 00:08:57.831
For joshua? "for then will i make your way
00:08:57.898 --> 00:08:59.866
"for then will i make your way prosperous,
00:08:59.933 --> 00:09:00.701
Prosperous, and then will you have
00:09:00.767 --> 00:09:02.302
And then will you have good success."
00:09:02.369 --> 00:09:02.970
Good success." some people want to know,
00:09:03.036 --> 00:09:03.870
Some people want to know, "why am i always struggling?
00:09:03.937 --> 00:09:05.439
"why am i always struggling? why am i always working
00:09:05.505 --> 00:09:06.873
Why am i always working so hard?
00:09:06.940 --> 00:09:07.341
So hard? why am i never getting ahead?"
00:09:07.407 --> 00:09:08.875
Why am i never getting ahead?" well, are you speaking

Are you thinking the word? are you doing the word?
00:09:12.179 --> 00:09:13.580
Are you doing the word? or is the word collecting
00:09:13.647 --> 00:09:14.982
Or is the word collecting dust,
00:09:15.048 --> 00:09:15.515
Dust, and you're out struggling
00:09:15.582 --> 00:09:16.550
And you're out struggling on your own?
00:09:16.617 --> 00:09:17.484
On your own? this is why jesus said,
00:09:17.551 --> 00:09:18.986
This is why jesus said, "apart from me
00:09:19.052 --> 00:09:20.153
"apart from me you can do nothing."
00:09:20.220 --> 00:09:23.123
You can do nothing." (applause)

A plan. i knew what corner i had to
00:12:20.667 --> 00:12:21.601
I knew what corner i had to start in,
00:12:21.668 --> 00:12:22.169
Start in, so i could get those lines
00:12:22.235 --> 00:12:23.270
So i could get those lines nice and straight,
00:12:23.336 --> 00:12:24.271

Way to the part of the room that i had started in,

Grew up in, there was always this one room
00:12:58.672 --> 00:13:01.608
There was always this one room that the vacuum that we had
00:13:01.675 --> 00:13:04.611
That the vacuum that we had didn't have enough cord
00:13:04.678 --> 00:13:06.346
Didn't have enough cord to start and stop
00:13:06.413 --> 00:13:07.814
To start and stop in the same room.
00:13:07.881 --> 00:13:10.784
In the same room. you know what i'm talking
00:13:10.851 --> 00:13:11.351
You know what i'm talking about?
00:13:11.418 --> 00:13:12.085

[yes.] you'd have to start on
00:13:12.886 --> 00:13:13.453
You'd have to start on this wall,
00:13:13.520 --> 00:13:14.187
This wall, and you could only vacuum
00:13:14.254 --> 00:13:15.188
And you could only vacuum so far.
00:13:15.255 --> 00:13:15.789
So far. and then you'd have to come
00:13:15.856 --> 00:13:16.389
And then you'd have to come over and take the cord out
00:13:16.456 --> 00:13:17.457
Over and take the cord out and go over to the other wall,
00:13:17.524 --> 00:13:18.692
And go over to the other wall, and start to vacuum another.
00:13:18.758 --> 00:13:19.893
And start to vacuum another. and it would mess up
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:20.727
And it would mess up the whole thing,
00:13:20.794 --> 00:13:21.328
The whole thing, because you're lines
00:13:21.394 --> 00:13:22.329
Because you're lines weren't right and everything
00:13:22.395 --> 00:13:23.230

Far i could go from that plug before it would go out.
00:13:38.245 --> 00:13:40.213
Before it would go out. and i'd get all the way
00:13:40.280 --> 00:13:41.047
And i'd get all the way at the end of the cord,
00:13:41.114 --> 00:13:41.882
At the end of the cord, and i'm sitting there going

(applause) the problem with this kind of
00:14:08.341 --> 00:14:09.276
The problem with this kind of living is that the farther
00:14:09.342 --> 00:14:12.078
Living is that the farther you get,
00:14:12.145 --> 00:14:12.946
You get, the less it takes
00:14:13.013 --> 00:14:14.014
The less it takes to disconnect you.
00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:15.415
To disconnect you. [come on.]
00:14:15.482 --> 00:14:16.216
[come on.] [that's good, pastor.]
00:14:16.283 --> 00:14:17.817
[that's good, pastor.] when you're close,
00:14:17.884 --> 00:14:19.786
When you're close, you can go through some stuff,
00:14:19.853 --> 00:14:22.522
You can go through some stuff, because you've got a whole lot
00:14:22.589 --> 00:14:23.323
Because you've got a whole lot of cord to work with.
00:14:23.390 --> 00:14:25.625
Of cord to work with. but when you're way out here
00:14:25.692 --> 00:14:26.693
But when you're way out here on the end of your cord,
00:14:26.760 --> 00:14:27.961
On the end of your cord, all it takes is just
00:14:28.028 --> 00:14:29.062
All it takes is just a little bit of misdirection,
00:14:29.129 --> 00:14:31.298
A little bit of misdirection, and you can be moving
00:14:31.364 --> 00:14:32.265
And you can be moving right along.
00:14:32.332 --> 00:14:32.966
Right along. me and jesus got our own thing
00:14:33.033 --> 00:14:34.301
Me and jesus got our own thing going.
00:14:34.367 --> 00:14:34.668
Going. (makes sound of vacuum
00:14:34.734 --> 00:14:35.635
(makes sound of vacuum stopping)
00:14:35.702 --> 00:14:36.636
Stopping) (laughter)
00:14:36.703 --> 00:14:38.872
(laughter) and just that fast,
00:14:38.939 --> 00:14:40.307
And just that fast, his power,
00:14:40.373 --> 00:14:40.941
His power, his presence,
00:14:41.007 --> 00:14:41.574
His presence, his peace,
00:14:41.641 --> 00:14:42.208
His peace, his joy is gone.
00:14:42.275 --> 00:14:44.444
His joy is gone. [yes.]
00:14:44.511 --> 00:14:45.545
[yes.] [come on.]
00:14:45.612 --> 00:14:46.446
[come on.] this is why staying
00:14:46.513 --> 00:14:47.547
This is why staying connected,
00:14:47.614 --> 00:14:48.181
Connected, being in his presence,
00:14:48.248 --> 00:14:50.417
Being in his presence, abiding with him
00:14:50.483 --> 00:14:51.985
Abiding with him is so important.
00:14:52.052 --> 00:14:54.988
Is so important. but one of the problems that
00:14:55.055 --> 00:14:55.789
But one of the problems that you face is that you create
00:14:55.855 --> 00:14:57.590
You face is that you create these disconnections by what i
00:14:57.657 --> 00:14:59.459
These disconnections by what i call "overthinking."
00:14:59.526 --> 00:15:01.895
Call "overthinking." [come on.]
00:15:01.962 --> 00:15:02.329
[come on.] now i'm not talking about you,
00:15:02.395 --> 00:15:03.296
Now i'm not talking about you, but maybe there's some people
00:15:03.363 --> 00:15:04.164
But maybe there's some people you know.
00:15:04.230 --> 00:15:04.731
You know. do you know anyone who is
00:15:04.798 --> 00:15:05.732
Do you know anyone who is a chronic overthinker?
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:08.301
A chronic overthinker? (laughter)
00:15:08.368 --> 00:15:09.369
(laughter) y'all are thinking about
00:15:09.436 --> 00:15:10.203
Y'all are thinking about raising your hands right now.
00:15:10.270 --> 00:15:12.172
Raising your hands right now. (laughter)
00:15:12.238 --> 00:15:12.872
(laughter) do i do it?
00:15:12.939 --> 00:15:13.340
Do i do it? do i not do it?
00:15:13.406 --> 00:15:14.074
Do i not do it? if i do it,
00:15:14.140 --> 00:15:14.741
If i do it, will people say something
00:15:14.808 --> 00:15:15.809
Will people say something about me?
00:15:15.875 --> 00:15:16.343
About me? are they going to judge me?
00:15:16.409 --> 00:15:18.011
Are they going to judge me? (laughter)
00:15:18.078 --> 00:15:20.513
(laughter) i mean just be spontaneous.
00:15:20.580 --> 00:15:22.082
I mean just be spontaneous. anybody overthink?
00:15:22.148 --> 00:15:23.883
Anybody overthink? okay.
00:15:23.950 --> 00:15:24.250
Okay. thank god.
00:15:24.317 --> 00:15:25.251
Thank god. (laughter)
00:15:25.318 --> 00:15:26.886
(laughter) and i can prove that
00:15:26.953 --> 00:15:27.587
And i can prove that overthinking causes
00:15:27.654 --> 00:15:28.822
Overthinking causes depression,
00:15:28.888 --> 00:15:29.389
Depression, because i don't think that
00:15:29.456 --> 00:15:30.190
Because i don't think that i've ever had a conversation
00:15:30.256 --> 00:15:31.558
I've ever had a conversation with somebody who shows up to
00:15:31.624 --> 00:15:32.592
With somebody who shows up to work and says,
00:15:32.659 --> 00:15:33.460
Work and says, (yawns)
00:15:33.526 --> 00:15:34.127
(yawns) "i lost so much sleep last
00:15:34.194 --> 00:15:35.595
"i lost so much sleep last night thinking about how happy
00:15:35.662 --> 00:15:37.364
Night thinking about how happy i am."
00:15:37.430 --> 00:15:38.765
I am." (laughter)
00:15:38.832 --> 00:15:41.201
(laughter) "i just couldn't get, uh,
00:15:41.267 --> 00:15:43.103
"i just couldn't get, uh, one moment's rest
00:15:43.169 --> 00:15:44.237
One moment's rest because i'm so blessed."
00:15:44.304 --> 00:15:46.906
Because i'm so blessed." (laughter)
00:15:46.973 --> 00:15:47.640
(laughter) "i stayed up staring at
00:15:47.707 --> 00:15:48.641
"i stayed up staring at the ceiling,
00:15:48.708 --> 00:15:49.175
The ceiling, thinking the joy of the lord
00:15:49.242 --> 00:15:50.710
Thinking the joy of the lord is my strength."
00:15:50.777 --> 00:15:52.712
Is my strength." (laughter)
00:15:52.779 --> 00:15:54.180
(laughter) "wow."
00:15:54.247 --> 00:15:55.582
"wow." (laughter)
00:15:55.648 --> 00:15:57.017
(laughter) that's not how it works.
00:15:57.083 --> 00:15:59.319
That's not how it works. because when your mind is
00:15:59.386 --> 00:16:00.387
Because when your mind is connected to god's joy,
00:16:00.453 --> 00:16:01.688
Connected to god's joy, and god's peace,
00:16:01.755 --> 00:16:02.689
And god's peace, and god's-- god's provision,
00:16:02.756 --> 00:16:04.591
And god's-- god's provision, and god's promise,
00:16:04.657 --> 00:16:05.225
And god's promise, you know what you do?
00:16:05.291 --> 00:16:06.426
You know what you do? (makes snoring sounds)
00:16:06.493 --> 00:16:08.061
(makes snoring sounds) (laughter)
00:16:08.128 --> 00:16:08.962
(laughter) [amen.]
00:16:09.029 --> 00:16:09.896
[amen.] you could sleep in a war zone.
00:16:09.963 --> 00:16:11.798
You could sleep in a war zone. (laughter)
00:16:11.865 --> 00:16:12.966
(laughter) [amen.]
00:16:13.033 --> 00:16:14.000
[amen.] but when you're overthinking,
00:16:14.067 --> 00:16:15.168
But when you're overthinking, you're laying in bed and
00:16:15.235 --> 00:16:16.102
You're laying in bed and you're thinking to yourself
00:16:16.169 --> 00:16:17.337
You're thinking to yourself about all of the conversations
00:16:17.404 --> 00:16:18.605
About all of the conversations and interactions and things
00:16:18.671 --> 00:16:19.773
And interactions and things that you should have done
00:16:19.839 --> 00:16:20.673
That you should have done that you didn't do,
00:16:20.740 --> 00:16:21.508
That you didn't do, and what you should have said
00:16:21.574 --> 00:16:22.308
And what you should have said that you didn't say,
00:16:22.375 --> 00:16:23.109
That you didn't say, and how they treated you and
00:16:23.176 --> 00:16:24.577
And how they treated you and shouldn't have treated you,
00:16:24.644 --> 00:16:25.512
Shouldn't have treated you, and if they really felt
00:16:25.578 --> 00:16:26.413
And if they really felt like that,
00:16:26.479 --> 00:16:26.946
Like that, then they wouldn't act
00:16:27.013 --> 00:16:27.714
Then they wouldn't act like this,
00:16:27.781 --> 00:16:28.281
Like this, and why did they,
00:16:28.348 --> 00:16:29.049
And why did they, and when did they,
00:16:29.115 --> 00:16:29.783
And when did they, and how could they,
00:16:29.849 --> 00:16:30.650
And how could they, and how dare they.
00:16:30.717 --> 00:16:33.920
And how dare they. and then all of a sudden,
00:16:33.987 --> 00:16:34.487
And then all of a sudden, the alarm clock goes off,
00:16:34.554 --> 00:16:35.622
The alarm clock goes off, and you wake up tired.
00:16:35.688 --> 00:16:37.690
And you wake up tired. (yawns)
00:16:37.757 --> 00:16:38.391
(yawns) (laughter)
00:16:38.458 --> 00:16:39.025
(laughter) why?
00:16:39.092 --> 00:16:39.592
Why? because you've been working
00:16:39.659 --> 00:16:40.460
Because you've been working when you should have been
00:16:40.527 --> 00:16:41.394
When you should have been resting.
00:16:41.461 --> 00:16:42.495
Resting. [yes.]
00:16:42.562 --> 00:16:43.296
[yes.] your thinking has not only
00:16:43.363 --> 00:16:45.865
Your thinking has not only robbed you of sleep,
00:16:45.932 --> 00:16:47.067
Robbed you of sleep, but it's caused mental
00:16:47.133 --> 00:16:47.934
But it's caused mental and emotional fatigue that
00:16:48.001 --> 00:16:49.269
And emotional fatigue that eventually has physical
00:16:49.335 --> 00:16:50.737
Eventually has physical manifestations and emotional
00:16:50.804 --> 00:16:52.238
Manifestations and emotional frustration.
00:16:52.305 --> 00:16:54.474
Frustration. and you wonder why you feel
00:16:54.541 --> 00:16:55.675
And you wonder why you feel the way you feel.
00:16:55.742 --> 00:16:56.509
The way you feel. it's because you're holding
00:16:56.576 --> 00:16:57.577
It's because you're holding onto things that god said
00:16:57.644 --> 00:16:59.345
Onto things that god said let go of.
00:16:59.412 --> 00:17:00.613
Let go of. [amen.]
00:17:00.680 --> 00:17:01.681
[amen.] this is why paul's answer is,
00:17:01.748 --> 00:17:03.783
This is why paul's answer is, "but in everything."
00:17:03.850 --> 00:17:07.520
"but in everything." "be anxious for nothing,
00:17:07.587 --> 00:17:09.089
"be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer
00:17:09.155 --> 00:17:11.991
But in everything by prayer and supplication,
00:17:12.058 --> 00:17:13.126
And supplication, with thanksgiving."
00:17:13.193 --> 00:17:16.863
With thanksgiving." this is how you take
00:17:16.930 --> 00:17:18.031
This is how you take the medicine,
00:17:18.098 --> 00:17:18.631
The medicine, ladies and gentlemen,
00:17:18.698 --> 00:17:19.899
Ladies and gentlemen, "with thanksgiving."
00:17:19.966 --> 00:17:23.503
"with thanksgiving." your thanksgiving is the key
00:17:23.570 --> 00:17:25.438
Your thanksgiving is the key that unlocks the gates
00:17:25.505 --> 00:17:26.673
That unlocks the gates of heaven and allows you into
00:17:26.739 --> 00:17:28.775
Of heaven and allows you into god's presence.
00:17:28.842 --> 00:17:29.542
God's presence. this is why david said,
00:17:29.609 --> 00:17:30.610
This is why david said, "enter into his gates
00:17:30.677 --> 00:17:31.845
"enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
00:17:31.911 --> 00:17:33.046
With thanksgiving, and into his courts
00:17:33.113 --> 00:17:34.247
And into his courts with praise."
00:17:34.314 --> 00:17:35.014
With praise." don't go knock on heaven's
00:17:35.081 --> 00:17:36.783
Don't go knock on heaven's door with a long list of
00:17:36.850 --> 00:17:38.218
Door with a long list of things you want to complain
00:17:38.284 --> 00:17:39.652
Things you want to complain about.
00:17:39.719 --> 00:17:40.220
About. god already knows what you're
00:17:40.286 --> 00:17:41.688
God already knows what you're dealing with.
00:17:41.754 --> 00:17:42.522
Dealing with. god knew about it before you
00:17:42.589 --> 00:17:43.957
God knew about it before you ever found out about it.
00:17:44.023 --> 00:17:45.158
Ever found out about it. he knows how to get you
00:17:45.225 --> 00:17:46.359
He knows how to get you through it.
00:17:46.426 --> 00:17:46.893
Through it. he knows when you're coming
00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:47.994
He knows when you're coming out of it.
00:17:48.061 --> 00:17:48.595
Out of it. he knows where everything that
00:17:48.661 --> 00:17:49.829
He knows where everything that you're ever going to require
00:17:49.896 --> 00:17:51.197
You're ever going to require can be found
00:17:51.264 --> 00:17:52.098
Can be found and when you'll receive it.
00:17:52.165 --> 00:17:53.333
And when you'll receive it. so whenever you go into his
00:17:53.399 --> 00:17:54.934
So whenever you go into his presence,
00:17:55.001 --> 00:17:55.668
Presence, whenever anxiety shows up,
00:17:55.735 --> 00:17:57.737
Whenever anxiety shows up, whenever concern plagues
00:17:57.804 --> 00:17:59.272
Whenever concern plagues your mind,
00:17:59.339 --> 00:18:00.039
Your mind, you lift your hands,
00:18:00.106 --> 00:18:01.241
You lift your hands, and you say,
00:18:01.307 --> 00:18:01.774
And you say, "god, i thank you.
00:18:01.841 --> 00:18:03.409
"god, i thank you. i thank you that you've never
00:18:03.476 --> 00:18:04.644
I thank you that you've never failed me before,
00:18:04.711 --> 00:18:06.045
Failed me before, and you're not going to
00:18:06.112 --> 00:18:06.813
And you're not going to fail me now.
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:07.814
Fail me now. i thank you that
00:18:07.881 --> 00:18:08.748
I thank you that in your sovereignty,
00:18:08.815 --> 00:18:09.816
In your sovereignty, you knew about this.
00:18:09.883 --> 00:18:11.151
You knew about this. and in your grace,
00:18:11.217 --> 00:18:12.252
And in your grace, you're going to give me the
00:18:12.318 --> 00:18:13.153
You're going to give me the strength to sustain myself,
00:18:13.219 --> 00:18:15.121
Strength to sustain myself, because your grace is
00:18:15.188 --> 00:18:16.289
Because your grace is sufficient for me.
00:18:16.356 --> 00:18:17.457
Sufficient for me. you promised i hadn't--
00:18:17.524 --> 00:18:18.725
You promised i hadn't-- i wouldn't fight this alone,
00:18:18.791 --> 00:18:20.093
I wouldn't fight this alone, because you'd never leave me
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:21.327
Because you'd never leave me nor would you forsake me.
00:18:21.394 --> 00:18:22.896
Nor would you forsake me. you promised you'd defend me,
