Tonight, about celebrating you. now, that might sound a little odd to you.
00:00:31.621 --> 00:00:32.755
Now, that might sound a little odd to you. you might even think,
00:00:32.822 --> 00:00:33.690
A little odd to you. you might even think, "we'll isn't it a little
00:00:33.756 --> 00:00:34.491
You might even think, "we'll isn't it a little prideful to celebrate myself?"
00:00:34.557 --> 00:00:37.360
"we'll isn't it a little prideful to celebrate myself?" well, actually,
00:00:37.427 --> 00:00:38.294
Prideful to celebrate myself?" well, actually, god celebrates you.
00:00:38.361 --> 00:00:40.396
Well, actually, god celebrates you. and when i tell you

God celebrates you. and when i tell you to celebrate yourself,
00:00:41.197 --> 00:00:42.365
And when i tell you to celebrate yourself, i'm not talking about oh,
00:00:42.432 --> 00:00:44.467
To celebrate yourself, i'm not talking about oh, because you're
00:00:44.534 --> 00:00:45.101
I'm not talking about oh, because you're so wonderful, and, you know,
00:00:45.168 --> 00:00:46.970
Because you're so wonderful, and, you know, you do all these amazing things.
00:00:47.036 --> 00:00:49.038
So wonderful, and, you know, you do all these amazing things. i'm talkin' mainly about
00:00:49.105 --> 00:00:50.306
You do all these amazing things. i'm talkin' mainly about celebrating what god
00:00:50.373 --> 00:00:52.509
I'm talkin' mainly about celebrating what god has created.
00:00:52.575 --> 00:00:53.877
Celebrating what god has created. and what he's done.
00:00:53.943 --> 00:00:55.311
Has created. and what he's done. and even like celebrating
00:00:55.378 --> 00:00:58.214
And what he's done. and even like celebrating the changes that god
00:00:58.281 --> 00:00:59.616
And even like celebrating the changes that god has made in your life.
00:00:59.682 --> 00:01:01.851
The changes that god has made in your life. we sure don't have any problem
00:01:01.918 --> 00:01:03.319
Has made in your life. we sure don't have any problem feeling bad about the things
00:01:03.386 --> 00:01:04.854
We sure don't have any problem feeling bad about the things that we do wrong.
00:01:04.921 --> 00:01:07.323
But we sometimes
00:01:07.390 --> 00:01:08.291
But we sometimes have a hard time,
00:01:08.358 --> 00:01:09.058
But we sometimes have a hard time, celebrating the things,
00:01:09.125 --> 00:01:10.393
Have a hard time, celebrating the things, that we do right, or even,
00:01:10.460 --> 00:01:12.729
Celebrating the things, that we do right, or even, thinking about
00:01:12.795 --> 00:01:13.663
That we do right, or even, thinking about the things that we do right.
00:01:13.730 --> 00:01:16.366
Thinking about the things that we do right. if you've never tried doing it,
00:01:16.432 --> 00:01:17.634
The things that we do right. if you've never tried doing it, just try it sometime,
00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:18.601
If you've never tried doing it, just try it sometime, and see how odd you feel.
00:01:18.668 --> 00:01:20.170
Just try it sometime, and see how odd you feel. it's like the enemy wants to--
00:01:20.236 --> 00:01:21.871
And see how odd you feel. it's like the enemy wants to-- he wants us to count up,
00:01:21.938 --> 00:01:23.306
It's like the enemy wants to-- he wants us to count up, all the things we do wrong.
00:01:23.373 --> 00:01:25.141
He wants us to count up, all the things we do wrong. matter of fact,
00:01:25.208 --> 00:01:25.775
All the things we do wrong. matter of fact, if you're anything like me,
00:01:25.842 --> 00:01:26.876
Matter of fact, if you're anything like me, i'm not so much
00:01:26.943 --> 00:01:27.510
If you're anything like me, i'm not so much like this anymore,
00:01:27.577 --> 00:01:28.244
I'm not so much like this anymore, because i've grown in god.
00:01:28.311 --> 00:01:29.479
Like this anymore, because i've grown in god. but i mean, years ago
00:01:29.546 --> 00:01:30.947
Because i've grown in god. but i mean, years ago the first thing that i would do,
00:01:31.014 --> 00:01:32.315
But i mean, years ago the first thing that i would do, every morning when i woke up,
00:01:32.382 --> 00:01:33.616
The first thing that i would do, every morning when i woke up, was think about all the things
00:01:33.683 --> 00:01:34.884
Every morning when i woke up, was think about all the things i did wrong the day before.
00:01:34.951 --> 00:01:36.953
Was think about all the things i did wrong the day before. anybody do that?
00:01:37.020 --> 00:01:39.355
I did wrong the day before. anybody do that? but see we also do things,
00:01:39.422 --> 00:01:41.491
Anybody do that? but see we also do things, that are right.
00:01:41.558 --> 00:01:42.692
But see we also do things, that are right. and i believe that,
00:01:42.759 --> 00:01:43.560
That are right. and i believe that, god wants us to also think,
00:01:43.626 --> 00:01:45.094
And i believe that, god wants us to also think, about those once in a while.
00:01:45.161 --> 00:01:46.262
God wants us to also think, about those once in a while. not in a prideful way.
00:01:46.329 --> 00:01:48.097
About those once in a while. not in a prideful way. but because god enables us,
00:01:48.164 --> 00:01:50.166
Not in a prideful way. but because god enables us, by his grace to do things,
00:01:50.233 --> 00:01:52.468
But because god enables us, by his grace to do things, that are right.
00:01:52.535 --> 00:01:54.370
In hebrews 12,
00:01:54.704 --> 00:01:55.638
In hebrews 12, i think it is.
00:01:55.705 --> 00:01:56.272
In hebrews 12, i think it is. it says, "looking away from
00:01:56.339 --> 00:01:57.173
I think it is. it says, "looking away from all that will distract."
00:01:57.240 --> 00:01:59.209
It says, "looking away from all that will distract." well, you know,
00:01:59.275 --> 00:01:59.842
All that will distract." well, you know, when i do nothing,
00:01:59.909 --> 00:02:00.476
Well, you know, when i do nothing, but think about my faults,
00:02:00.543 --> 00:02:02.045
It distracts me.
00:02:02.111 --> 00:02:03.513
It distracts me. it distracts me from
00:02:03.580 --> 00:02:04.681
It distracts me. it distracts me from my walk with god.
00:02:04.747 --> 00:02:05.615
It distracts me from my walk with god. it distracts me from what
00:02:05.682 --> 00:02:06.749
My walk with god. it distracts me from what god has called me to do.
00:02:06.816 --> 00:02:08.384
It distracts me from what god has called me to do. so, we celebrate everything
00:02:08.451 --> 00:02:11.321
God has called me to do. so, we celebrate everything except ourselves.
00:02:11.387 --> 00:02:13.189
So, we celebrate everything except ourselves. we celebrate births, baptisms,
00:02:13.256 --> 00:02:15.825
Except ourselves. we celebrate births, baptisms, confirmations, weddings,
00:02:15.892 --> 00:02:18.628
We celebrate births, baptisms, confirmations, weddings, anniversaries, retirement,
00:02:18.695 --> 00:02:22.198
Confirmations, weddings, anniversaries, retirement, promotions at work.
00:02:22.265 --> 00:02:24.634
Anniversaries, retirement, promotions at work. we celebrate good things
00:02:24.701 --> 00:02:25.868
Promotions at work. we celebrate good things that other people do.
00:02:25.935 --> 00:02:27.770
We celebrate good things that other people do. but somehow or another
00:02:27.837 --> 00:02:28.605
That other people do. but somehow or another we never get around
00:02:28.671 --> 00:02:29.572
But somehow or another we never get around to celebrating ourselves.
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.008
We never get around to celebrating ourselves. and so, i'm even gonna suggest,
00:02:32.075 --> 00:02:35.478
To celebrating ourselves. and so, i'm even gonna suggest, that after you hear
00:02:35.545 --> 00:02:36.646
And so, i'm even gonna suggest, that after you hear this teaching today,
00:02:36.713 --> 00:02:37.480
That after you hear this teaching today, that you take even
00:02:37.547 --> 00:02:39.616
This teaching today, that you take even if it's four hours, once a week,
00:02:39.682 --> 00:02:42.619
That you take even if it's four hours, once a week, and just celebrate you,
00:02:42.685 --> 00:02:45.488
If it's four hours, once a week, and just celebrate you, by just doing something
00:02:45.555 --> 00:02:46.756
And just celebrate you, by just doing something that you enjoy.
00:02:46.823 --> 00:02:48.358
By just doing something that you enjoy. whether that's
00:02:48.424 --> 00:02:48.992
That you enjoy. whether that's just takin' a walk,
00:02:49.058 --> 00:02:50.260
Whether that's just takin' a walk, or if you've got
00:02:50.326 --> 00:02:53.263
Just takin' a walk, or if you've got small kids at home,
00:02:53.329 --> 00:02:54.230
Or if you've got small kids at home, paying a babysitter,
00:02:54.297 --> 00:02:55.164
Small kids at home, paying a babysitter, just so you can be by yourself
00:02:55.231 --> 00:02:56.332
Paying a babysitter, just so you can be by yourself for four hours.
00:02:56.399 --> 00:02:57.233
Just so you can be by yourself for four hours. or havin' a cup of coffee,
00:02:57.300 --> 00:02:59.168
For four hours. or havin' a cup of coffee, with a great friend.
00:02:59.235 --> 00:03:00.003
Or havin' a cup of coffee, with a great friend. you need to take
00:03:00.069 --> 00:03:00.903
With a great friend. you need to take time for yourself.
00:03:00.970 --> 00:03:02.538
You need to take time for yourself. so, where are you
00:03:02.605 --> 00:03:07.010
Time for yourself. so, where are you on your list of people
00:03:07.076 --> 00:03:08.478
So, where are you on your list of people that you take care of?
00:03:08.544 --> 00:03:13.016
On your list of people that you take care of? hmmm...
00:03:13.082 --> 00:03:17.220
That you take care of? hmmm... i'm kinda doing like a selah--
00:03:17.287 --> 00:03:19.722
Hmmm... i'm kinda doing like a selah-- pause and think about that.
00:03:19.789 --> 00:03:21.858
I'm kinda doing like a selah-- pause and think about that. 'cause i don't wanna
00:03:21.924 --> 00:03:22.492
Pause and think about that. 'cause i don't wanna go through that too fast,
00:03:22.558 --> 00:03:23.793
'cause i don't wanna go through that too fast, you know.
00:03:23.860 --> 00:03:24.527
Go through that too fast, you know. we have--i don't know,
00:03:24.594 --> 00:03:25.962
You know. we have--i don't know, if you're anything like me,
00:03:26.029 --> 00:03:26.963
We have--i don't know, if you're anything like me, but i can get a false sense,
00:03:27.030 --> 00:03:29.666
If you're anything like me, but i can get a false sense, of responsibility really quick.
00:03:29.732 --> 00:03:31.934
But i can get a false sense, of responsibility really quick. like just recently,
00:03:32.001 --> 00:03:32.835
Of responsibility really quick. like just recently, somebody told me about,
00:03:32.902 --> 00:03:35.405
Like just recently, somebody told me about, a widow that needs help,
00:03:35.471 --> 00:03:38.241
Somebody told me about, a widow that needs help, with just a lot of things,
00:03:38.308 --> 00:03:39.942
A widow that needs help, with just a lot of things, in her life.
00:03:40.009 --> 00:03:41.277
With just a lot of things, in her life. and i mean, it only took
00:03:41.344 --> 00:03:43.579
In her life. and i mean, it only took me two days, and in my head,
00:03:43.646 --> 00:03:45.181
And i mean, it only took me two days, and in my head, i was replacing her furniture,
00:03:45.248 --> 00:03:46.549
Me two days, and in my head, i was replacing her furniture, her car, and, you know,
00:03:46.616 --> 00:03:47.817
I was replacing her furniture, her car, and, you know, getting her new clothes,
00:03:47.884 --> 00:03:48.818
Her car, and, you know, getting her new clothes, and buying her bed sheets.
00:03:48.885 --> 00:03:49.952
Getting her new clothes, and buying her bed sheets. and, you know, it's like,
00:03:50.019 --> 00:03:51.020
And buying her bed sheets. and, you know, it's like, "wait a minute, joyce,
00:03:51.087 --> 00:03:51.954
And, you know, it's like, "wait a minute, joyce, slow down.
00:03:52.021 --> 00:03:52.422
"wait a minute, joyce, slow down. you don't have to rework
00:03:52.488 --> 00:03:53.423
Slow down. you don't have to rework her whole life.
00:03:53.489 --> 00:03:54.791
You don't have to rework her whole life. she needs some gift cards
00:03:54.857 --> 00:03:56.125
Her whole life. she needs some gift cards for groceries."
00:03:56.192 --> 00:03:58.061
She needs some gift cards for groceries." you know, sometimes we just--
00:03:58.127 --> 00:03:59.195
For groceries." you know, sometimes we just-- we get, i don't know
00:03:59.262 --> 00:04:01.864
You know, sometimes we just-- we get, i don't know if you can ever help
00:04:01.931 --> 00:04:02.598
We get, i don't know if you can ever help anybody too much.
00:04:02.665 --> 00:04:03.499
If you can ever help anybody too much. but sometimes,
00:04:03.566 --> 00:04:04.701
Anybody too much. but sometimes, we have everybody,
00:04:04.767 --> 00:04:07.270
But sometimes, we have everybody, on our list, except us.
00:04:07.337 --> 00:04:09.272
We have everybody, on our list, except us. and here's the thing,
00:04:09.339 --> 00:04:09.972
On our list, except us. and here's the thing, i want you to hear,
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:10.773
And here's the thing, i want you to hear, and don't forget this.
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.608
I want you to hear, and don't forget this. if you don't take
00:04:12.675 --> 00:04:13.710
And don't forget this. if you don't take care of yourself,
00:04:13.776 --> 00:04:16.746
If you don't take care of yourself, it won't be long,
00:04:16.813 --> 00:04:17.714
Care of yourself, it won't be long, and you won't be fit,
00:04:17.780 --> 00:04:18.948
It won't be long, and you won't be fit, to take care of anybody else.
00:04:19.015 --> 00:04:22.685
And you won't be fit, to take care of anybody else. because what happens,
00:04:22.752 --> 00:04:24.053
To take care of anybody else. because what happens, if you just take care
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:25.088
Because what happens, if you just take care of everybody else,
00:04:25.154 --> 00:04:26.255
If you just take care of everybody else, eventually, you'll get
00:04:26.322 --> 00:04:27.557
Of everybody else, eventually, you'll get like, a martyr syndrome.
00:04:27.623 --> 00:04:30.126
Eventually, you'll get like, a martyr syndrome. or you'll start to get bitter.
00:04:30.193 --> 00:04:32.662
Like, a martyr syndrome. or you'll start to get bitter. and a lot of times,
00:04:32.729 --> 00:04:33.596
Or you'll start to get bitter. and a lot of times, we do it to ourselves.
00:04:33.663 --> 00:04:35.765
And a lot of times, we do it to ourselves. because we become
00:04:35.832 --> 00:04:37.400
We do it to ourselves. because we become people-pleasers.
00:04:37.467 --> 00:04:38.267
Because we become people-pleasers. and everything that
00:04:38.334 --> 00:04:39.335
People-pleasers. and everything that anybody else wants,
00:04:39.402 --> 00:04:41.003
And everything that anybody else wants, we run and do that.
00:04:41.070 --> 00:04:42.238
Anybody else wants, we run and do that. but then we feel guilty.
00:04:42.305 --> 00:04:43.506
We run and do that. but then we feel guilty. the enemy makes us feel guilty,
00:04:43.573 --> 00:04:46.175
But then we feel guilty. the enemy makes us feel guilty, if we think about taking
00:04:46.242 --> 00:04:46.976
The enemy makes us feel guilty, if we think about taking any time for ourselves.
00:04:47.043 --> 00:04:48.811
If we think about taking any time for ourselves. and i believe you'll see,
00:04:48.878 --> 00:04:49.812
Any time for ourselves. and i believe you'll see, before we're finished,
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:50.646
And i believe you'll see, before we're finished, that god wants you to do that.
00:04:50.713 --> 00:04:52.348
Listen to zephaniah 3:17,
00:04:53.149 --> 00:04:55.518
Listen to zephaniah 3:17, "the lord your god
00:04:55.585 --> 00:04:56.953
Listen to zephaniah 3:17, "the lord your god is in the midst of you,
00:04:57.019 --> 00:04:58.554
"the lord your god is in the midst of you, a mighty one,
00:04:58.621 --> 00:04:59.856
Is in the midst of you, a mighty one, a savior [who saves].
00:04:59.922 --> 00:05:05.027
A mighty one, a savior [who saves]. he will rejoice
00:05:05.094 --> 00:05:06.229
A savior [who saves]. he will rejoice over you with joy;
00:05:06.295 --> 00:05:08.965
He will rejoice over you with joy; he will rest
00:05:09.031 --> 00:05:09.766
Over you with joy; he will rest [in silent satisfaction]
00:05:09.832 --> 00:05:11.667
He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in his love--"
00:05:11.734 --> 00:05:12.535
[in silent satisfaction] and in his love--" i love this.
00:05:12.602 --> 00:05:14.103
And in his love--" i love this. "he will be silent and make
00:05:14.170 --> 00:05:15.304
I love this. "he will be silent and make no mention [of past sins]."
00:05:15.371 --> 00:05:21.277
"he will be silent and make no mention [of past sins]." wow.
00:05:21.344 --> 00:05:23.112
No mention [of past sins]." wow. so, if you wake
00:05:23.179 --> 00:05:24.147
Wow. so, if you wake up in the morning,
00:05:24.213 --> 00:05:24.814
So, if you wake up in the morning, and the first thing
00:05:24.881 --> 00:05:25.448
Up in the morning, and the first thing you start hearing,
00:05:25.515 --> 00:05:26.249
And the first thing you start hearing, is everything that
00:05:26.315 --> 00:05:26.883
You start hearing, is everything that you did wrong yesterday,
00:05:26.949 --> 00:05:27.884
Is everything that you did wrong yesterday, it's not god.
00:05:27.950 --> 00:05:30.920
You did wrong yesterday, it's not god. god makes--
00:05:30.987 --> 00:05:31.554
It's not god. god makes-- once you have repented,
00:05:31.621 --> 00:05:33.623
God makes-- once you have repented, asked god to forgive you,
00:05:33.689 --> 00:05:35.758
Once you have repented, asked god to forgive you, he forgets it,
00:05:35.825 --> 00:05:37.226
Asked god to forgive you, he forgets it, moves it as far as the east
00:05:37.293 --> 00:05:38.428
He forgets it, moves it as far as the east is from the west.
00:05:38.494 --> 00:05:40.096
Moves it as far as the east is from the west. and so, there's absolutely
00:05:40.163 --> 00:05:41.364
Is from the west. and so, there's absolutely no reason to continue
00:05:41.431 --> 00:05:43.366
And so, there's absolutely no reason to continue feeling guilty.
00:05:43.433 --> 00:05:44.400
No reason to continue feeling guilty. and satan steals
00:05:44.467 --> 00:05:45.334
Feeling guilty. and satan steals so much time from us,
00:05:45.401 --> 00:05:48.704
And satan steals so much time from us, with us feeling guilty
00:05:48.771 --> 00:05:49.705
So much time from us, with us feeling guilty and bad about the things
00:05:49.772 --> 00:05:51.874
With us feeling guilty and bad about the things we do wrong.
00:05:51.941 --> 00:05:53.075
And bad about the things we do wrong. but i really believe,
00:05:53.142 --> 00:05:54.644
We do wrong. but i really believe, that if you balance
00:05:54.710 --> 00:05:55.845
But i really believe, that if you balance some of that out,
00:05:55.912 --> 00:05:57.146
That if you balance some of that out, by actually, having the courage
00:05:57.213 --> 00:06:00.049
Some of that out, by actually, having the courage to think about some
00:06:00.116 --> 00:06:00.983
By actually, having the courage to think about some of the things you do right,
00:06:01.050 --> 00:06:05.154
To think about some of the things you do right, that it won't
00:06:05.221 --> 00:06:05.788
Of the things you do right, that it won't be so overwhelming.
00:06:05.855 --> 00:06:08.691
That it won't be so overwhelming. psalm 139:13-18, "for you
00:06:08.758 --> 00:06:13.362
Be so overwhelming. psalm 139:13-18, "for you created my inmost being;
00:06:13.429 --> 00:06:15.398
Psalm 139:13-18, "for you created my inmost being; you knit me together
00:06:15.465 --> 00:06:16.632
Created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb."
00:06:16.699 --> 00:06:17.400
You knit me together in my mother's womb." i want you to think
00:06:17.467 --> 00:06:18.201
In my mother's womb." i want you to think about this with--
00:06:18.267 --> 00:06:20.269
I want you to think about this with-- god, having his hand,
00:06:20.336 --> 00:06:22.638
In your mother's womb,
00:06:22.705 --> 00:06:23.706
In your mother's womb, and actually, uniquely,
00:06:23.773 --> 00:06:28.744
In your mother's womb, and actually, uniquely, carefully putting you together.
00:06:28.811 --> 00:06:32.048
And actually, uniquely, carefully putting you together. you're not a mistake.
00:06:32.114 --> 00:06:34.784
Carefully putting you together. you're not a mistake. the things that you think,
00:06:34.851 --> 00:06:35.852
You're not a mistake. the things that you think, are weird about yourself,
00:06:35.918 --> 00:06:38.754
The things that you think, are weird about yourself, are just unique.
00:06:38.821 --> 00:06:41.157
Are weird about yourself, are just unique. because god makes everybody
00:06:41.224 --> 00:06:42.792
Are just unique. because god makes everybody just a little bit different.
00:06:42.859 --> 00:06:44.994
Because god makes everybody just a little bit different. i think he likes variety.
00:06:45.061 --> 00:06:46.329
Just a little bit different. i think he likes variety. what do you think?
00:06:46.395 --> 00:06:47.730
I think he likes variety. what do you think? i think god likes variety.
00:06:47.797 --> 00:06:49.532
What do you think? i think god likes variety. "he makes no mention
00:06:49.599 --> 00:06:50.433
I think god likes variety. "he makes no mention [of past sins,
00:06:50.500 --> 00:06:51.100
"he makes no mention [of past sins, are even recalls them];
00:06:51.167 --> 00:06:52.268
[of past sins, are even recalls them]; he will exalt over
00:06:52.335 --> 00:06:53.803
Are even recalls them]; he will exalt over you with singing."
00:06:53.870 --> 00:06:56.439
He will exalt over you with singing." so, sounds to me like,
00:06:56.506 --> 00:06:58.374
You with singing." so, sounds to me like, god looks at each of us,
00:06:58.441 --> 00:07:00.476
So, sounds to me like, god looks at each of us, and he celebrates us.
00:07:00.543 --> 00:07:03.913
God looks at each of us, and he celebrates us. he's not just thinking,
00:07:03.980 --> 00:07:04.780
And he celebrates us. he's not just thinking, about the things,
00:07:04.847 --> 00:07:05.414
He's not just thinking, about the things, we've done wrong.
00:07:05.481 --> 00:07:06.182
About the things, we've done wrong. when we repent of those,
00:07:06.249 --> 00:07:07.750
We've done wrong. when we repent of those, they're gone as far
00:07:07.817 --> 00:07:08.684
When we repent of those, they're gone as far as he's concerned.
00:07:08.751 --> 00:07:09.952
God's mercy is new
00:07:10.019 --> 00:07:11.320
God's mercy is new every, single day.
00:07:11.387 --> 00:07:13.256
God's mercy is new every, single day. now, "you created
00:07:13.322 --> 00:07:17.393
Every, single day. now, "you created my inmost being;
00:07:17.460 --> 00:07:18.160
Now, "you created my inmost being; you knit me together
00:07:18.227 --> 00:07:18.861
My inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
00:07:18.928 --> 00:07:19.762
You knit me together in my mother's womb. i praise you
00:07:19.829 --> 00:07:20.596
In my mother's womb. i praise you because i am fearfully
00:07:20.663 --> 00:07:22.198
I praise you because i am fearfully and wonderfully made."
00:07:22.265 --> 00:07:24.333
Because i am fearfully and wonderfully made." i'm telling you what, david,
00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:26.068
And wonderfully made." i'm telling you what, david, the psalmist david,
00:07:26.135 --> 00:07:27.837
I'm telling you what, david, the psalmist david, he was bold.
00:07:27.904 --> 00:07:29.906
The psalmist david, he was bold. i mean, he said some pretty
00:07:29.972 --> 00:07:32.642
He was bold. i mean, he said some pretty good things about himself.
00:07:32.708 --> 00:07:34.176
I mean, he said some pretty good things about himself. so, he obviously knew,
00:07:34.243 --> 00:07:36.679
Good things about himself. so, he obviously knew, i mean--you know,
00:07:36.746 --> 00:07:37.580
So, he obviously knew, i mean--you know, he says here,
00:07:37.647 --> 00:07:39.115
I mean--you know, he says here, "i am fearfully and
00:07:39.181 --> 00:07:39.882
He says here, "i am fearfully and wonderfully made;
00:07:39.949 --> 00:07:41.250
"i am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful."
00:07:41.317 --> 00:07:43.619
Wonderfully made; your works are wonderful." well, i mean, that's equivalent
00:07:43.686 --> 00:07:45.254
To saying, "i am wonderful."
00:07:45.321 --> 00:07:48.257
To saying, "i am wonderful." but he's saying
00:07:48.324 --> 00:07:49.425
To saying, "i am wonderful." but he's saying it because god created him.
00:07:49.492 --> 00:07:51.494
But he's saying it because god created him. he is celebrating
00:07:51.561 --> 00:07:53.129
It because god created him. he is celebrating what god created.
00:07:53.195 --> 00:07:55.064
He is celebrating what god created. it's not a haughty,
00:07:55.131 --> 00:07:56.365
What god created. it's not a haughty, prideful thing,
00:07:56.432 --> 00:07:57.633
It's not a haughty, prideful thing, but he's celebrating
00:07:57.700 --> 00:07:58.968
Prideful thing, but he's celebrating what god created.
00:07:59.035 --> 00:08:00.269
I don't even know,
00:08:00.970 --> 00:08:01.637
I don't even know, how to begin to tell you,
00:08:01.704 --> 00:08:02.838
I don't even know, how to begin to tell you, how much this can
00:08:02.905 --> 00:08:03.573
How to begin to tell you, how much this can change your life,
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:06.776
How much this can change your life, if you'll take to heart,
00:08:06.842 --> 00:08:08.444
Change your life, if you'll take to heart, what i'm saying to you, tonight.
00:08:08.511 --> 00:08:11.314
If you'll take to heart, what i'm saying to you, tonight. "my frame was not hidden
00:08:11.380 --> 00:08:12.815
What i'm saying to you, tonight. "my frame was not hidden from you when i was made
00:08:12.882 --> 00:08:13.816
"my frame was not hidden from you when i was made in the secret place,
00:08:13.883 --> 00:08:14.684
From you when i was made in the secret place, when i was woven together
00:08:14.750 --> 00:08:15.651
In the secret place, when i was woven together in the depths of the earth.
00:08:15.718 --> 00:08:17.653
When i was woven together in the depths of the earth. your eyes saw my unformed body;
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:19.989
In the depths of the earth. your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained
00:08:20.056 --> 00:08:21.290
Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written
00:08:21.357 --> 00:08:22.091
All the days ordained for me were written in your book before even
00:08:22.158 --> 00:08:23.593
For me were written in your book before even one of them came to pass."
00:08:23.659 --> 00:08:27.830
In your book before even one of them came to pass." every day of our life,
00:08:27.897 --> 00:08:29.465
One of them came to pass." every day of our life, was recorded in god's book,
00:08:29.532 --> 00:08:32.802
Every day of our life, was recorded in god's book, before one of them,
00:08:32.868 --> 00:08:33.636
Was recorded in god's book, before one of them, even came to pass.
00:08:33.703 --> 00:08:36.439
Before one of them, even came to pass. "how precious to me
00:08:36.505 --> 00:08:37.773
Even came to pass. "how precious to me are your thoughts."
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.775
"how precious to me are your thoughts." god thinks about
00:08:39.842 --> 00:08:40.943
Are your thoughts." god thinks about you all the time.
00:08:41.010 --> 00:08:44.080
And can i tell you something?
00:08:44.146 --> 00:08:45.114
And can i tell you something? there's never one moment,
00:08:45.181 --> 00:08:47.383
And can i tell you something? there's never one moment, in your life when god
00:08:47.450 --> 00:08:48.851
There's never one moment, in your life when god doesn't love you.
00:08:48.918 --> 00:08:51.954
In your life when god doesn't love you. and, how about this?
00:08:52.021 --> 00:08:55.424
Doesn't love you. and, how about this? god will never love you,
00:08:55.491 --> 00:08:56.926
And, how about this? god will never love you, any more than he does,
00:08:56.993 --> 00:08:58.094
God will never love you, any more than he does, at this moment right now.
00:08:58.160 --> 00:09:00.262
Any more than he does, at this moment right now. you know why?
00:09:00.329 --> 00:09:01.097
At this moment right now. you know why? because his love for you
00:09:01.163 --> 00:09:02.598
You know why? because his love for you is not based on what you
00:09:02.665 --> 00:09:03.666
Because his love for you is not based on what you do or don't do.
00:09:03.733 --> 00:09:05.501
Is not based on what you do or don't do. it's based on who he is.
00:09:05.568 --> 00:09:08.004
Do or don't do. it's based on who he is. and love is not something
00:09:08.070 --> 00:09:09.305
It's based on who he is. and love is not something god does, it's who he is.
00:09:09.372 --> 00:09:11.841
So, i'm sorry, but he just
00:09:12.541 --> 00:09:13.909
So, i'm sorry, but he just can't help himself.
00:09:13.976 --> 00:09:16.345
So, i'm sorry, but he just can't help himself. he has to love you.
00:09:16.412 --> 00:09:18.314
Can't help himself. he has to love you. now, we looked up,
00:09:18.381 --> 00:09:20.216
He has to love you. now, we looked up, some fun facts, about the body.
00:09:20.282 --> 00:09:23.753
Now, we looked up, some fun facts, about the body. so, just--when you think about,
00:09:23.819 --> 00:09:26.956
Some fun facts, about the body. so, just--when you think about, how fearfully, and wonderfully
00:09:27.023 --> 00:09:29.492
You're made--
00:09:29.558 --> 00:09:30.292
You're made-- just listen to this.
00:09:30.359 --> 00:09:32.395
You're made-- just listen to this. every second, the body produces,
00:09:32.461 --> 00:09:35.931
Just listen to this. every second, the body produces, 25 million new cells.
00:09:35.998 --> 00:09:40.770
Every second, the body produces, 25 million new cells. that means every 15 seconds,
00:09:40.836 --> 00:09:43.339
25 million new cells. that means every 15 seconds, you will have produced,
00:09:43.406 --> 00:09:44.240
That means every 15 seconds, you will have produced, more cells than
00:09:44.306 --> 00:09:45.307
You will have produced, more cells than the u.s. population.
00:09:45.374 --> 00:09:49.478
More cells than the u.s. population. wow.

00:15:27.483 --> 00:15:29.518
Well, yeah, but we're in jesus. and so, whatever he gets, we get.
00:15:29.585 --> 00:15:30.919
And so, whatever he gets, we get. and you just--come on,

We get. and you just--come on, you just try this
00:15:32.121 --> 00:15:33.455
And you just--come on, you just try this in your home, saying,
00:15:33.522 --> 00:15:36.525
You just try this in your home, saying, "god is pleased with me."
00:15:36.592 --> 00:15:40.295
In your home, saying, "god is pleased with me." hmmm...
00:15:40.362 --> 00:15:40.829
"god is pleased with me." hmmm... see, i couldn't even get
00:15:40.896 --> 00:15:41.597
Hmmm... see, i couldn't even get a smile out of you, on that one.
00:15:41.663 --> 00:15:42.865
See, i couldn't even get a smile out of you, on that one. >> [audience laughing]
00:15:42.931 --> 00:15:44.400
A smile out of you, on that one. >> [audience laughing] >> joyce: you know, why?
00:15:44.466 --> 00:15:45.167
>> [audience laughing] >> joyce: you know, why? because we just--
00:15:45.234 --> 00:15:45.934
>> joyce: you know, why? because we just-- we think that would be wrong.
00:15:46.001 --> 00:15:47.770
Because we just-- we think that would be wrong. why has religion
00:15:47.836 --> 00:15:49.571
We think that would be wrong. why has religion made us think that,
00:15:49.638 --> 00:15:50.973
Why has religion made us think that, that would be wrong?
00:15:51.040 --> 00:15:55.477
Made us think that, that would be wrong? i remember, years ago,
00:15:55.544 --> 00:15:56.779
That would be wrong? i remember, years ago, when i was--
00:15:56.845 --> 00:15:58.313
I remember, years ago, when i was-- i think, i was in pennsylvania,
00:15:58.380 --> 00:15:59.515
When i was-- i think, i was in pennsylvania, somewhere.
00:15:59.581 --> 00:16:00.849
I think, i was in pennsylvania, somewhere. and i was just getting
00:16:00.916 --> 00:16:03.485
Somewhere. and i was just getting that revelation that
00:16:03.552 --> 00:16:04.586
And i was just getting that revelation that i didn't have to hate myself,
00:16:04.653 --> 00:16:07.923
That revelation that i didn't have to hate myself, that i could like myself,
00:16:07.990 --> 00:16:09.525
I didn't have to hate myself, that i could like myself, that i was even supposed
00:16:09.591 --> 00:16:10.526
That i could like myself, that i was even supposed to love myself.
00:16:10.592 --> 00:16:12.428
That i was even supposed to love myself. and so, in this teaching
00:16:12.494 --> 00:16:13.662
To love myself. and so, in this teaching that i did, i said,
00:16:13.729 --> 00:16:15.297
And so, in this teaching that i did, i said, "i like myself."
00:16:15.364 --> 00:16:17.766
That i did, i said, "i like myself." well, the next day,
00:16:17.833 --> 00:16:18.834
"i like myself." well, the next day, there was an article
00:16:18.901 --> 00:16:19.468
Well, the next day, there was an article in the paper that said,
00:16:19.535 --> 00:16:20.269
There was an article in the paper that said, "meyer says she likes herself,"
00:16:20.335 --> 00:16:24.339
In the paper that said, "meyer says she likes herself," like that was a terrible thing.
00:16:24.406 --> 00:16:26.708
"meyer says she likes herself," like that was a terrible thing. but see, if i would have
00:16:26.775 --> 00:16:27.576
Like that was a terrible thing. but see, if i would have stood up and said,
00:16:27.643 --> 00:16:28.577
But see, if i would have stood up and said, "i'm a terrible worm,
00:16:28.644 --> 00:16:31.013
Stood up and said, "i'm a terrible worm, miserable human being.
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:32.981
"i'm a terrible worm, miserable human being. oh, woe is me," then they
00:16:33.048 --> 00:16:34.883
Miserable human being. oh, woe is me," then they would of probably thought
00:16:34.950 --> 00:16:35.551
Oh, woe is me," then they would of probably thought that was very "spiritual."
00:16:35.617 --> 00:16:39.822
Would of probably thought that was very "spiritual." but see, it's not.
00:16:39.888 --> 00:16:40.689
That was very "spiritual." but see, it's not. we've got it all wrong.
00:16:40.756 --> 00:16:41.890
But see, it's not. we've got it all wrong. now, don't misunderstand me.
00:16:41.957 --> 00:16:43.092
We've got it all wrong. now, don't misunderstand me. i'm not talking about not facing
00:16:43.158 --> 00:16:45.294
Now, don't misunderstand me. i'm not talking about not facing the things that we do wrong.
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:46.728
I'm not talking about not facing the things that we do wrong. i'm not talking about having
00:16:46.795 --> 00:16:48.864
The things that we do wrong. i'm not talking about having some kind of a haughty
00:16:48.931 --> 00:16:49.932
I'm not talking about having some kind of a haughty attitude that you're better
00:16:49.998 --> 00:16:51.733
Some kind of a haughty attitude that you're better than everybody else.
00:16:51.800 --> 00:16:52.634
Attitude that you're better than everybody else. nobody here is better
00:16:52.701 --> 00:16:54.136
Than everybody else. nobody here is better than anybody else.
00:16:54.203 --> 00:16:57.039
Nobody here is better than anybody else. whatever we can do,
00:16:57.106 --> 00:16:59.074
Than anybody else. whatever we can do, it's in christ.
00:16:59.141 --> 00:17:00.676
Whatever we can do, it's in christ. and whatever we can't do,
00:17:00.742 --> 00:17:02.611
It's in christ. and whatever we can't do, we're still in christ,
00:17:02.678 --> 00:17:03.612
And whatever we can't do, we're still in christ, because he's the only one
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:04.480
We're still in christ, because he's the only one that can take care of it.
00:17:04.546 --> 00:17:06.148
Because he's the only one that can take care of it. i'm not at all talking about
00:17:06.215 --> 00:17:07.516
That can take care of it. i'm not at all talking about being proud and haughty.
00:17:07.583 --> 00:17:09.418
The bible says,
00:17:09.885 --> 00:17:10.419
The bible says, "do not think more highly
00:17:10.486 --> 00:17:11.353
The bible says, "do not think more highly of yourself than you ought to."
00:17:11.420 --> 00:17:12.821
"do not think more highly of yourself than you ought to." but it never says
00:17:12.888 --> 00:17:13.922
Of yourself than you ought to." but it never says to think badly, see,
00:17:13.989 --> 00:17:18.694
But it never says to think badly, see, about yourself.
00:17:18.760 --> 00:17:20.896
To think badly, see, about yourself. "meyer likes herself."
00:17:20.963 --> 00:17:22.564
About yourself. "meyer likes herself." well, isn't that terrible?
00:17:22.631 --> 00:17:26.902
"meyer likes herself." well, isn't that terrible? and god wants you to take
00:17:26.969 --> 00:17:27.936
Well, isn't that terrible? and god wants you to take good care of yourself.
00:17:28.003 --> 00:17:30.405
And god wants you to take good care of yourself. hmm...
00:17:30.472 --> 00:17:32.074
Good care of yourself. hmm... "well, i just don't have
00:17:32.141 --> 00:17:32.841
Hmm... "well, i just don't have time to do that.
00:17:32.908 --> 00:17:35.144
"well, i just don't have time to do that. i don't have time to exercise.
00:17:35.210 --> 00:17:37.980
Time to do that. i don't have time to exercise. i can't afford to buy
00:17:38.046 --> 00:17:38.914
I don't have time to exercise. i can't afford to buy good quality food.
00:17:38.981 --> 00:17:42.417
I can't afford to buy good quality food. i don't have time.
00:17:42.484 --> 00:17:43.318
Good quality food. i don't have time. i don't have time to rest.
00:17:43.385 --> 00:17:45.621
I don't have time. i don't have time to rest. i'm too busy, killing myself,
00:17:45.687 --> 00:17:47.256
I don't have time to rest. i'm too busy, killing myself, cutting years off
00:17:47.322 --> 00:17:48.056
I'm too busy, killing myself, cutting years off my life working,
00:17:48.123 --> 00:17:50.125
Cutting years off my life working, because i'm a people-pleaser
00:17:50.192 --> 00:17:51.426
My life working, because i'm a people-pleaser and i have to do whatever
00:17:51.493 --> 00:17:52.327
Anybody wants me to,
00:17:52.394 --> 00:17:53.328
Anybody wants me to, no matter what it is."
00:17:53.395 --> 00:17:56.465
Anybody wants me to, no matter what it is." you know, you're never gonna
00:17:56.532 --> 00:17:57.799
No matter what it is." you know, you're never gonna be healthy until you learn
00:17:57.866 --> 00:18:01.336
You know, you're never gonna be healthy until you learn how to say, "no."
00:18:01.403 --> 00:18:04.840
Be healthy until you learn how to say, "no." and i can tell you,

How to say, "no." and i can tell you, when people wanna hear,

And i can tell you, when people wanna hear, "yes," they don't like a, "no."
00:18:06.542 --> 00:18:09.945
When people wanna hear, "yes," they don't like a, "no." so, you have to learn
00:18:10.012 --> 00:18:10.679
"yes," they don't like a, "no." so, you have to learn how to deal with that.
00:18:10.746 --> 00:18:15.851
So, you have to learn how to deal with that. how valuable are you?
00:18:15.918 --> 00:18:18.620
How to deal with that. how valuable are you? "well, i dunno.
00:18:18.687 --> 00:18:22.291
How valuable are you? "well, i dunno. valuable?
00:18:22.357 --> 00:18:23.158
"well, i dunno. valuable? i dunno.
00:18:23.225 --> 00:18:25.093
Valuable? i dunno. never really thought
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:25.827
I dunno. never really thought about it much."
00:18:25.894 --> 00:18:26.795
Well, 1 corinthians 6:20:
00:18:27.362 --> 00:18:29.598
Well, 1 corinthians 6:20: "you were bought with
00:18:29.665 --> 00:18:30.265
Well, 1 corinthians 6:20: "you were bought with a price [purchased with

A price [purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made his own].

A preciousness and paid for, made his own]. so then, honor god and bring

Made his own]. so then, honor god and bring glory to him in your body."
00:18:40.876 --> 00:18:44.546
So then, honor god and bring glory to him in your body." now, when we get around
00:18:44.613 --> 00:18:45.347
Glory to him in your body." now, when we get around to the body part,
00:18:45.414 --> 00:18:46.381
You're gonna know that
00:18:46.448 --> 00:18:47.583
You're gonna know that you need to invest some time
00:18:47.649 --> 00:18:49.751
You're gonna know that you need to invest some time in taking care of your body
00:18:49.818 --> 00:18:52.521
You need to invest some time in taking care of your body because it is the house of god.
00:18:52.588 --> 00:18:55.924
In taking care of your body because it is the house of god. let me ask you, if you were
00:18:55.991 --> 00:18:56.992
Because it is the house of god. let me ask you, if you were looking for a church--
00:18:57.059 --> 00:18:59.094
Let me ask you, if you were looking for a church-- because you are the home of god.
00:18:59.161 --> 00:19:02.598
Looking for a church-- because you are the home of god. if you were looking
00:19:02.664 --> 00:19:03.265
Because you are the home of god. if you were looking for a church to go to,
00:19:03.332 --> 00:19:05.467
If you were looking for a church to go to, and there was a church
00:19:05.534 --> 00:19:06.301
For a church to go to, and there was a church on this corner that was,
00:19:06.368 --> 00:19:09.238
And there was a church on this corner that was, you know, pretty beat-up:
00:19:09.304 --> 00:19:10.138
On this corner that was, you know, pretty beat-up: shingles falling off the roof,
00:19:10.205 --> 00:19:12.407
You know, pretty beat-up: shingles falling off the roof, paint peeling off the walls,
00:19:12.474 --> 00:19:15.344
Shingles falling off the roof, paint peeling off the walls, grass hadn't been cut,
00:19:15.410 --> 00:19:17.613
Paint peeling off the walls, grass hadn't been cut, trash in the yard.
00:19:17.679 --> 00:19:19.448
Grass hadn't been cut, trash in the yard. just really, you know,
00:19:19.514 --> 00:19:20.816
Trash in the yard. just really, you know, didn't look that good.
00:19:20.882 --> 00:19:22.017
Just really, you know, didn't look that good. and two blocks down,
00:19:22.084 --> 00:19:24.152
Didn't look that good. and two blocks down, there was a church--
00:19:24.219 --> 00:19:27.556
And two blocks down, there was a church-- not even super fancy,
00:19:27.623 --> 00:19:29.124
There was a church-- not even super fancy, but it's painted, it's clean,
00:19:29.191 --> 00:19:33.462
Not even super fancy, but it's painted, it's clean, it looks like a nice,
00:19:33.528 --> 00:19:34.363
But it's painted, it's clean, it looks like a nice, friendly place.
00:19:34.429 --> 00:19:36.164
It looks like a nice, friendly place. you all know without
00:19:36.231 --> 00:19:37.065
Friendly place. you all know without even thinking about it,
00:19:37.132 --> 00:19:37.966
You all know without even thinking about it, which church you
00:19:38.033 --> 00:19:38.467
Even thinking about it, which church you would choose to go to.
00:19:38.533 --> 00:19:39.901
So, if we are
00:19:40.869 --> 00:19:41.737
So, if we are ambassadors for christ,
00:19:41.803 --> 00:19:42.738
So, if we are ambassadors for christ, which 2 corinthians 5:20
00:19:42.804 --> 00:19:44.539
Ambassadors for christ, which 2 corinthians 5:20 says that we are
00:19:44.606 --> 00:19:47.409
Which 2 corinthians 5:20 says that we are ambassadors for christ,
00:19:47.476 --> 00:19:48.477
Says that we are ambassadors for christ, his personal representatives,
00:19:48.543 --> 00:19:51.013
Ambassadors for christ, his personal representatives, and that he is making his appeal
00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:52.381
His personal representatives, and that he is making his appeal to the world through us.
00:19:52.447 --> 00:19:56.184
And that he is making his appeal to the world through us. wow.
00:19:56.251 --> 00:19:59.154
So, i think that we need to take
00:19:59.221 --> 00:20:00.389
So, i think that we need to take what we have to work with,
00:20:00.455 --> 00:20:04.526
So, i think that we need to take what we have to work with, and do the best we can with it.
00:20:04.593 --> 00:20:07.296
What we have to work with, and do the best we can with it. and i'm not talking about
00:20:07.362 --> 00:20:08.363
And do the best we can with it. and i'm not talking about what your body size is.
00:20:08.430 --> 00:20:09.765
And i'm not talking about what your body size is. i'm not talking about, you know,
00:20:09.831 --> 00:20:11.566
What your body size is. i'm not talking about, you know, these specific things.
00:20:11.633 --> 00:20:12.901
I'm not talking about, you know, these specific things. i'm just talkin' about doing
00:20:12.968 --> 00:20:15.170
These specific things. i'm just talkin' about doing the best you can with what
00:20:15.237 --> 00:20:17.939
I'm just talkin' about doing the best you can with what you have to work with.
00:20:18.006 --> 00:20:19.541
The best you can with what you have to work with. even if you can't afford
00:20:19.608 --> 00:20:20.709
You have to work with. even if you can't afford to have a lot of clothes,
00:20:20.776 --> 00:20:22.844
Even if you can't afford to have a lot of clothes, you still don't have
00:20:22.911 --> 00:20:24.112
To have a lot of clothes, you still don't have to put something
00:20:24.179 --> 00:20:25.847
You still don't have to put something in the clothes dryer,
00:20:25.914 --> 00:20:26.648
To put something in the clothes dryer, and leave it sit there
00:20:26.715 --> 00:20:27.382
In the clothes dryer, and leave it sit there all night, and then,
00:20:27.449 --> 00:20:27.949
And leave it sit there all night, and then, just go put it on the next
00:20:28.016 --> 00:20:28.984
All night, and then, just go put it on the next morning and look like--
00:20:29.051 --> 00:20:30.252
Just go put it on the next morning and look like-- you know what i'm talking about,
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:32.621
Morning and look like-- you know what i'm talking about, you know.
00:20:32.688 --> 00:20:33.922
You know what i'm talking about, you know. "oh, that don't matter."
00:20:33.989 --> 00:20:35.490
You know. "oh, that don't matter." well, no, it's not--

Has nothing to do with your salvation, but it does matter if we're

To give his only son? and we know it was god in christ,

And we know it was god in christ, reconciling the world
00:21:12.127 --> 00:21:12.928
God in christ, reconciling the world unto himself.
00:21:12.994 --> 00:21:14.830
Reconciling the world unto himself. so, he actually gave himself.

Good about themselves? well, what a difference it makes if you tell so--
00:21:53.368 --> 00:21:54.970
