00:02:08.051 --> 00:02:11.821
God's word is your
00:02:14.457 --> 00:02:15.458
God's word is your spiritual food.
00:02:15.525 --> 00:02:16.259
God's word is your spiritual food. jeremiah said, "when your
00:02:16.326 --> 00:02:17.093
Spiritual food. jeremiah said, "when your words came, i ate them;
00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:18.528
Jeremiah said, "when your words came, i ate them; and they were my joy
00:02:18.595 --> 00:02:22.165
Words came, i ate them; and they were my joy and my heart's delight."
00:02:22.232 --> 00:02:26.669
And they were my joy and my heart's delight." meditating on god's word,
00:02:26.736 --> 00:02:27.870
Is like chewing your food.
00:02:27.937 --> 00:02:28.972
Is like chewing your food. it's like, what does it mean,
00:02:29.038 --> 00:02:30.640
Is like chewing your food. it's like, what does it mean, to meditate on god's word?
00:02:30.707 --> 00:02:32.175
It's like, what does it mean, to meditate on god's word? just to think about
00:02:32.242 --> 00:02:33.409
To meditate on god's word? just to think about a scripture over and over.
00:02:33.476 --> 00:02:34.510
Just to think about a scripture over and over. and maybe like to take,
00:02:34.577 --> 00:02:36.212
A scripture over and over. and maybe like to take, each word of a scripture,
00:02:36.279 --> 00:02:38.848
And maybe like to take, each word of a scripture, and really think about it.
00:02:38.915 --> 00:02:40.450
Like if you took psalm 139,
00:02:40.817 --> 00:02:43.553
Like if you took psalm 139, about how god created you,
00:02:43.620 --> 00:02:44.887
Like if you took psalm 139, about how god created you, and how you're fearfully,
00:02:44.954 --> 00:02:45.788
About how god created you, and how you're fearfully, and wonderfully made.
00:02:45.855 --> 00:02:46.856
And how you're fearfully, and wonderfully made. and if you took each word,
00:02:46.923 --> 00:02:48.258
And wonderfully made. and if you took each word, and just thought about that.
00:02:48.324 --> 00:02:50.693
And if you took each word, and just thought about that. you know, we read the bible,
00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:52.095
But what do we really
00:02:52.161 --> 00:02:53.029
But what do we really get out of it sometimes?
00:02:53.096 --> 00:02:55.465
But what do we really get out of it sometimes? because sometimes,
00:02:55.531 --> 00:02:56.466
Get out of it sometimes? because sometimes, we get this religious thinking,
00:02:56.532 --> 00:02:58.201
Because sometimes, we get this religious thinking, that more is better.
00:02:58.268 --> 00:03:01.137
We get this religious thinking, that more is better. so, we're real proud
00:03:01.204 --> 00:03:01.904
That more is better. so, we're real proud of ourself if we, you know,
00:03:01.971 --> 00:03:05.074
So, we're real proud of ourself if we, you know, read 6 chapters a day.
00:03:05.141 --> 00:03:07.543
Of ourself if we, you know, read 6 chapters a day. but what difference
00:03:07.610 --> 00:03:08.177
Read 6 chapters a day. but what difference does it make, if you didn't
00:03:08.244 --> 00:03:09.045
But what difference does it make, if you didn't understand any of it?
00:03:09.112 --> 00:03:10.980
Does it make, if you didn't understand any of it? god would rather
00:03:11.047 --> 00:03:11.614
Understand any of it? god would rather you read one verse,
00:03:11.681 --> 00:03:14.517
God would rather you read one verse, and get something out of it,
00:03:14.584 --> 00:03:15.485
You read one verse, and get something out of it, than to read the whole
00:03:15.551 --> 00:03:16.219
And get something out of it, than to read the whole bible every, single day.

Keeps you strong spiritually. don't hide sin in your heart. you're not hiding
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:23.593
Don't hide sin in your heart. you're not hiding anything from god.
00:03:23.660 --> 00:03:25.895
You're not hiding anything from god. he knows it anyway.
00:03:25.962 --> 00:03:26.829
Anything from god. he knows it anyway. you can confess
00:03:26.896 --> 00:03:28.231
He knows it anyway. you can confess your sins to god.

Your sins to god. and sometimes, it's even very helpful,

And sometimes, it's even very helpful, to have a trusted friend,
00:03:31.434 --> 00:03:32.435
It's even very helpful, to have a trusted friend, or spiritual leader,
00:03:32.502 --> 00:03:33.536
To have a trusted friend, or spiritual leader, that you can also say,
00:03:33.603 --> 00:03:35.638
Or spiritual leader, that you can also say, "listen, i've been having

"listen, i've been having a problem with this." i mean, it's amazing,
00:03:37.707 --> 00:03:38.441
A problem with this." i mean, it's amazing, sometimes how that will
00:03:38.508 --> 00:03:39.409
I mean, it's amazing, sometimes how that will break a stronghold off of you.
00:03:39.475 --> 00:03:41.077
Sometimes how that will break a stronghold off of you. just to speak it out,
00:03:41.144 --> 00:03:42.245

Just to speak it out, to somebody that you trust, and get rid of it.
00:03:43.946 --> 00:03:47.684
Taking care of yourself,

Wow. some people go on vacation, just so they can
00:04:02.999 --> 00:04:03.566
Some people go on vacation, just so they can lay on the beach,
00:04:03.633 --> 00:04:04.200
Just so they can lay on the beach, and worry about what
00:04:04.267 --> 00:04:04.901
Lay on the beach, and worry about what they're gonna do,
00:04:04.967 --> 00:04:05.535
And worry about what they're gonna do, with the rest of their life.
00:04:05.601 --> 00:04:06.569

Two of the main things,
00:04:13.876 --> 00:04:14.744
Two of the main things, that cause people,
00:04:14.811 --> 00:04:15.645
Two of the main things, that cause people, to wear out mentally,
00:04:15.712 --> 00:04:17.113
That cause people, to wear out mentally, is worry and reasoning.
00:04:17.180 --> 00:04:20.450
To wear out mentally, is worry and reasoning. trying to figure things out,
00:04:20.516 --> 00:04:21.751

Trying to figure things out, that only god knows, that he's not telling
00:04:22.885 --> 00:04:23.619
That only god knows, that he's not telling anybody yet.

00:04:27.390 --> 00:04:28.224
Anybody yet. and there's no such thing, as trusting god,
00:04:28.291 --> 00:04:29.025
And there's no such thing, as trusting god, without unanswered questions.
00:04:29.092 --> 00:04:31.694
As trusting god, without unanswered questions. no wonder god tells us,
00:04:31.761 --> 00:04:32.995
Without unanswered questions. no wonder god tells us, to live one day at a time.

If i get it?" you can't figure all that out. you just say, "god,
00:04:55.351 --> 00:04:55.985
You can't figure all that out. you just say, "god, i belong to you.
00:04:56.052 --> 00:04:59.088
You just say, "god, i belong to you. you created me with
00:04:59.155 --> 00:04:59.956
I belong to you. you created me with your own hand.
00:05:00.022 --> 00:05:00.656
You created me with your own hand. i'm fearfully
00:05:00.723 --> 00:05:01.290
Your own hand. i'm fearfully and wonderfully made.
00:05:01.357 --> 00:05:02.792
I'm fearfully and wonderfully made. my name is written
00:05:02.859 --> 00:05:03.793
And wonderfully made. my name is written in your book of life."
00:05:03.860 --> 00:05:05.661
If i died with covid--
00:05:06.696 --> 00:05:09.432
If i died with covid-- i mean, paul said,
00:05:09.499 --> 00:05:11.734
If i died with covid-- i mean, paul said, "to live is christ,
00:05:11.801 --> 00:05:12.602
I mean, paul said, "to live is christ, to die is gain."
00:05:12.668 --> 00:05:15.805
"to live is christ, to die is gain." we need to look at it,
00:05:15.872 --> 00:05:19.242
According to what
00:05:19.308 --> 00:05:19.909
According to what the bible says.
00:05:19.976 --> 00:05:20.643
According to what the bible says. you don't need
00:05:20.710 --> 00:05:21.277
The bible says. you don't need to be afraid to die.
00:05:21.344 --> 00:05:23.312
You don't need to be afraid to die. if you're a believer, wow!
00:05:23.379 --> 00:05:27.150
To be afraid to die. if you're a believer, wow! i mean, you really probably--

Forward to it myself. and i don't mean that like i-- you know, have a death wish.
00:05:35.124 --> 00:05:36.025
And i don't mean that like i-- you know, have a death wish. but i mean, wow!
00:05:36.092 --> 00:05:39.061
You know, have a death wish. but i mean, wow! what's it gonna

But i mean, wow! what's it gonna really look like?
00:05:39.762 --> 00:05:41.397
What's it gonna really look like? what's it gonna be like?

Really look like? what's it gonna be like? what's that heavenly

What's that heavenly choir gonna sound like? i wanna do a seminar with moses.
00:05:46.903 --> 00:05:48.671
Choir gonna sound like? i wanna do a seminar with moses. >> [audience laughing]
00:05:48.738 --> 00:05:50.406
I wanna do a seminar with moses. >> [audience laughing] >> joyce: and i've been--
00:05:50.473 --> 00:05:51.207
>> [audience laughing] >> joyce: and i've been-- i've been thinking about it.
00:05:51.274 --> 00:05:55.978
>> joyce: and i've been-- i've been thinking about it. we worry about so many
00:05:56.045 --> 00:05:57.013
I've been thinking about it. we worry about so many different things.
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:57.780
We worry about so many different things. and you know,
00:05:57.847 --> 00:05:58.915
Different things. and you know, i'm reading a book right now,
00:05:58.981 --> 00:06:00.016
And you know, i'm reading a book right now, that is about the mind.
00:06:00.082 --> 00:06:01.684
I'm reading a book right now, that is about the mind. and i've written,
00:06:01.751 --> 00:06:02.251
That is about the mind. and i've written, a lot of stuff on the mind.
00:06:02.318 --> 00:06:03.286
And i've written, a lot of stuff on the mind. but this is really a good book.
00:06:03.352 --> 00:06:06.255
A lot of stuff on the mind. but this is really a good book. and one of the things
00:06:06.322 --> 00:06:07.023
But this is really a good book. and one of the things that the author said,
00:06:07.089 --> 00:06:07.857
And one of the things that the author said, that i really like is,
00:06:07.924 --> 00:06:09.258
That the author said, that i really like is, "is when you have
00:06:09.325 --> 00:06:11.394
That i really like is, "is when you have a wrong thought pattern--"
00:06:11.461 --> 00:06:12.462
"is when you have a wrong thought pattern--" let's just say like you worry
00:06:12.528 --> 00:06:13.396
A wrong thought pattern--" let's just say like you worry about money all the time.
00:06:13.463 --> 00:06:15.731
Let's just say like you worry about money all the time. "the first thing you
00:06:15.798 --> 00:06:16.499
About money all the time. "the first thing you need to ask yourself is,
00:06:16.566 --> 00:06:18.034
"the first thing you need to ask yourself is, 'where did this come from?'"
00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:22.071
Need to ask yourself is, 'where did this come from?'" see like, for example,
00:06:22.138 --> 00:06:23.005
'where did this come from?'" see like, for example, when i was growing up,
00:06:23.072 --> 00:06:25.241
See like, for example, when i was growing up, nobody did anything for me.
00:06:25.308 --> 00:06:27.443
When i was growing up, nobody did anything for me. i had to take care of myself.
00:06:27.510 --> 00:06:29.212
Nobody did anything for me. i had to take care of myself. now, my parents gave
00:06:29.278 --> 00:06:31.013
I had to take care of myself. now, my parents gave me a place to live,
00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:31.747
Now, my parents gave me a place to live, and they fed me,
00:06:31.814 --> 00:06:32.381
Me a place to live, and they fed me, and they bought me what clothes,
00:06:32.448 --> 00:06:33.816
And they fed me, and they bought me what clothes, i absolutely had to have.
00:06:33.883 --> 00:06:35.218
And they bought me what clothes, i absolutely had to have. but my dad wouldn't
00:06:35.284 --> 00:06:36.519
I absolutely had to have. but my dad wouldn't buy my graduation dress.
00:06:36.586 --> 00:06:37.987
But my dad wouldn't buy my graduation dress. he wouldn't buy
00:06:38.054 --> 00:06:38.621
Buy my graduation dress. he wouldn't buy my school pictures.
00:06:38.688 --> 00:06:39.288
He wouldn't buy my school pictures. he wouldn't buy my class ring.
00:06:39.355 --> 00:06:40.656
My school pictures. he wouldn't buy my class ring. anything that was like
00:06:40.723 --> 00:06:41.591
He wouldn't buy my class ring. anything that was like something special for me.
00:06:41.657 --> 00:06:44.760
Anything that was like something special for me. so, i have a little more fear,
00:06:44.827 --> 00:06:49.398
Something special for me. so, i have a little more fear, of not having enough money,
00:06:49.465 --> 00:06:51.968
So, i have a little more fear, of not having enough money, than dave does.
00:06:52.034 --> 00:06:52.602
Of not having enough money, than dave does. dave was raised--
00:06:52.668 --> 00:06:54.237
Than dave does. dave was raised-- his family was poor.
00:06:54.303 --> 00:06:56.606
Dave was raised-- his family was poor. mine weren't.
00:06:56.672 --> 00:06:58.207
His family was poor. mine weren't. his family was poor,
00:06:58.274 --> 00:06:59.108
Mine weren't. his family was poor, but he had a mother,
00:06:59.175 --> 00:07:01.210
His family was poor, but he had a mother, who taught him how
00:07:01.277 --> 00:07:01.911
But he had a mother, who taught him how to trust god.
00:07:01.978 --> 00:07:03.112
Who taught him how to trust god. and he watched god,
00:07:03.179 --> 00:07:04.514
To trust god. and he watched god, provide for them time,
00:07:04.580 --> 00:07:07.116
And he watched god, provide for them time, after time, after time.
00:07:07.183 --> 00:07:08.017
Provide for them time, after time, after time. like one of the things
00:07:08.084 --> 00:07:09.218
After time, after time. like one of the things she did was, she cleaned
00:07:09.285 --> 00:07:10.486
Like one of the things she did was, she cleaned homes for people.
00:07:10.553 --> 00:07:12.121
She did was, she cleaned homes for people. and a lot of the people,
00:07:12.188 --> 00:07:13.489
Homes for people. and a lot of the people, that she cleaned homes for,
00:07:13.556 --> 00:07:14.590
And a lot of the people, that she cleaned homes for, were wealthy people.
00:07:14.657 --> 00:07:15.992
And many times,
00:07:16.425 --> 00:07:16.993
And many times, they would give her whole bags,
00:07:17.059 --> 00:07:19.128
And many times, they would give her whole bags, of brand-new clothing,
00:07:19.195 --> 00:07:21.531
They would give her whole bags, of brand-new clothing, to bring home.
00:07:21.597 --> 00:07:23.966
Of brand-new clothing, to bring home. well, dave doesn't have
00:07:24.033 --> 00:07:25.067
To bring home. well, dave doesn't have any fear, concerning money.
00:07:25.134 --> 00:07:29.138
Well, dave doesn't have any fear, concerning money. so, it's helpful for me to say,
00:07:29.205 --> 00:07:32.041
"where did that come from?"
00:07:32.108 --> 00:07:35.444
"where did that come from?" "why am i like that?"
00:07:35.511 --> 00:07:38.548
"where did that come from?" "why am i like that?" i know a man, who has so much
00:07:38.614 --> 00:07:41.684
"why am i like that?" i know a man, who has so much fear about money.
00:07:41.751 --> 00:07:44.954
I know a man, who has so much fear about money. i mean, like he won't
00:07:45.021 --> 00:07:45.688
Fear about money. i mean, like he won't hardly buy anything,
00:07:45.755 --> 00:07:46.789
I mean, like he won't hardly buy anything, except what he just
00:07:46.856 --> 00:07:47.957
Hardly buy anything, except what he just absolutely has to have,
00:07:48.024 --> 00:07:48.724
Except what he just absolutely has to have, even though he has
00:07:48.791 --> 00:07:49.358
Absolutely has to have, even though he has the money to do it.
00:07:49.425 --> 00:07:51.460
Even though he has the money to do it. why?
00:07:51.527 --> 00:07:52.762
The money to do it. why? because he went through
00:07:52.828 --> 00:07:53.596
Why? because he went through a season, of real poverty,
00:07:53.663 --> 00:07:55.498
Because he went through a season, of real poverty, in his childhood.
00:07:55.565 --> 00:07:57.767
A season, of real poverty, in his childhood. and even though his mother,
00:07:57.833 --> 00:07:58.834
In his childhood. and even though his mother, remarried a man that
00:07:58.901 --> 00:07:59.936
And even though his mother, remarried a man that took good care of them--
00:08:00.002 --> 00:08:01.304
Remarried a man that took good care of them-- it's amazing, how you can
00:08:01.370 --> 00:08:02.638
Took good care of them-- it's amazing, how you can get stuck in a mindset.
00:08:02.705 --> 00:08:07.376
It's amazing, how you can get stuck in a mindset. i mean, some people
00:08:07.443 --> 00:08:09.979
Get stuck in a mindset. i mean, some people can worry about what
00:08:10.046 --> 00:08:11.280
I mean, some people can worry about what people think of them,
00:08:11.347 --> 00:08:12.381
Can worry about what people think of them, because of one
00:08:12.448 --> 00:08:13.816
People think of them, because of one very painful thing,
00:08:13.883 --> 00:08:15.384
Because of one very painful thing, that somebody said to them,
00:08:15.451 --> 00:08:17.453
Very painful thing, that somebody said to them, 25 or 30 years ago.
00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:20.523
That somebody said to them, 25 or 30 years ago. so, if you're stuck
00:08:20.590 --> 00:08:21.557
25 or 30 years ago. so, if you're stuck in a worry pattern,
00:08:21.624 --> 00:08:22.725
So, if you're stuck in a worry pattern, about the same thing over,
00:08:22.792 --> 00:08:24.160
In a worry pattern, about the same thing over, and over, and over--
00:08:24.226 --> 00:08:25.595
About the same thing over, and over, and over-- maybe you do pretty good,
00:08:25.661 --> 00:08:26.495
And over, and over-- maybe you do pretty good, in all these areas,
00:08:26.562 --> 00:08:27.363
Maybe you do pretty good, in all these areas, like, maybe, you don't
00:08:27.430 --> 00:08:28.230
In all these areas, like, maybe, you don't worry about your kids,
00:08:28.297 --> 00:08:28.965
Like, maybe, you don't worry about your kids, but this money thing
00:08:29.031 --> 00:08:30.066
Worry about your kids, but this money thing is a problem.
00:08:30.132 --> 00:08:31.267
But this money thing is a problem. or maybe, you worry about
00:08:31.334 --> 00:08:32.101
Is a problem. or maybe, you worry about your health, or whatever it is.
00:08:32.168 --> 00:08:34.070
Or maybe, you worry about your health, or whatever it is. don't just keep doin' it,
00:08:34.136 --> 00:08:36.072
Your health, or whatever it is. don't just keep doin' it, and fightin' it, and trying
00:08:36.138 --> 00:08:37.206
Don't just keep doin' it, and fightin' it, and trying to get over it yourself.
00:08:37.273 --> 00:08:38.541
And fightin' it, and trying to get over it yourself. ask god to show you,
00:08:38.608 --> 00:08:40.843
To get over it yourself. ask god to show you, "what is the source of this?"
00:08:40.910 --> 00:08:44.547
Ask god to show you, "what is the source of this?" because if you don't
00:08:44.614 --> 00:08:45.247
"what is the source of this?" because if you don't get to the root,
00:08:45.314 --> 00:08:45.948
Because if you don't get to the root, it'll just keep producing
00:08:46.015 --> 00:08:47.083
Get to the root, it'll just keep producing bad fruit.
00:08:47.149 --> 00:08:52.388
It'll just keep producing bad fruit. ginger asked me, the other day,
00:08:52.455 --> 00:08:53.289
Bad fruit. ginger asked me, the other day, if i had anything special
00:08:53.356 --> 00:08:54.590
Ginger asked me, the other day, if i had anything special in my heart for this year.
00:08:54.657 --> 00:08:55.524
If i had anything special in my heart for this year. and i said, "yes, take life
00:08:55.591 --> 00:08:56.892
In my heart for this year. and i said, "yes, take life one day at a time."
00:08:56.959 --> 00:09:00.496
And i said, "yes, take life one day at a time." such a great example,
00:09:00.563 --> 00:09:01.530
One day at a time." such a great example, with the manna.
00:09:01.597 --> 00:09:03.566
Such a great example, with the manna. god provided their food daily.
00:09:03.633 --> 00:09:06.068
Just imagine how--what, just--
00:09:06.702 --> 00:09:07.970
Just imagine how--what, just-- see, we don't think
00:09:08.037 --> 00:09:09.071
Just imagine how--what, just-- see, we don't think about stuff enough.
00:09:09.138 --> 00:09:09.805
See, we don't think about stuff enough. think about that.
00:09:09.872 --> 00:09:10.973
About stuff enough. think about that. now, they're out
00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:11.641
Think about that. now, they're out in the middle of nowhere,
00:09:11.707 --> 00:09:14.543
Now, they're out in the middle of nowhere, and all this food comes down,
00:09:14.610 --> 00:09:17.046
In the middle of nowhere, and all this food comes down, and god says, "now you can
00:09:17.113 --> 00:09:17.947
And all this food comes down, and god says, "now you can only gather enough for today.
00:09:18.014 --> 00:09:20.516
And god says, "now you can only gather enough for today. and if you gather
00:09:20.583 --> 00:09:21.384
Only gather enough for today. and if you gather more than that,
00:09:21.450 --> 00:09:22.118
And if you gather more than that, it's gonna rot and stink."
00:09:22.184 --> 00:09:25.521
More than that, it's gonna rot and stink." and they had to trust god,
00:09:25.588 --> 00:09:27.657
It's gonna rot and stink." and they had to trust god, that the next day,
00:09:27.723 --> 00:09:29.058
And they had to trust god, that the next day, he would show up again.
00:09:29.125 --> 00:09:32.461
That the next day, he would show up again. come on.
00:09:32.528 --> 00:09:35.431
He would show up again. come on. it was probably a little
00:09:35.498 --> 00:09:36.499
Come on. it was probably a little harder than we think.
00:09:36.565 --> 00:09:38.834
It was probably a little harder than we think. "seek first the kingdom
00:09:38.901 --> 00:09:39.802
Harder than we think. "seek first the kingdom of god and his righteousness,
00:09:39.869 --> 00:09:41.070
"seek first the kingdom of god and his righteousness, and all these other things
00:09:41.137 --> 00:09:42.138
Of god and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added unto you."
00:09:42.204 --> 00:09:47.710
Take care of yourself

You're married to, because they're not built, in such a way,

But he will provide it. we get mad at people sometimes, for not giving us something,
00:12:08.584 --> 00:12:09.518
We get mad at people sometimes, for not giving us something, and they don't even
00:12:09.585 --> 00:12:10.152
For not giving us something, and they don't even know how to do it.

And they don't even know how to do it. it's not even
00:12:12.288 --> 00:12:13.756
Know how to do it. it's not even in their wheelhouse.
00:12:13.823 --> 00:12:16.091
It's not even in their wheelhouse. maybe they were raised,
00:12:16.158 --> 00:12:16.926
In their wheelhouse. maybe they were raised, in a family where there
00:12:16.992 --> 00:12:17.793
Maybe they were raised, in a family where there wasn't much affection shown.
00:12:17.860 --> 00:12:20.729
In a family where there wasn't much affection shown. maybe a guy was,
00:12:20.796 --> 00:12:21.497
Wasn't much affection shown. maybe a guy was, and he marries a woman,
00:12:21.564 --> 00:12:22.431
Maybe a guy was, and he marries a woman, who got a ton of affection,
00:12:22.498 --> 00:12:23.833

That's just not even-- he don't get it. well, then she needs to pray,
00:12:32.641 --> 00:12:33.676
He don't get it. well, then she needs to pray, that god will give that to her,
00:12:33.742 --> 00:12:35.144
Well, then she needs to pray, that god will give that to her, through another source.
00:12:35.211 --> 00:12:38.681
That god will give that to her, through another source. take care of yourself

An expensive perfume, and poured it on jesus' feet, and wiped it with her hair.

And she let down her hair, which a woman did not do in public.
00:13:33.636 --> 00:13:36.639
Which a woman did not do in public. first of all,
00:13:36.705 --> 00:13:37.273
Not do in public. first of all, for her to even be in there--
00:13:37.339 --> 00:13:38.674
First of all, for her to even be in there-- to come that close to jesus,
00:13:38.741 --> 00:13:40.476
For her to even be in there-- to come that close to jesus, i mean, like she was
00:13:40.542 --> 00:13:41.710
To come that close to jesus, i mean, like she was really being radical.
00:13:41.777 --> 00:13:45.180
I mean, like she was really being radical. which is the way you get,
00:13:45.247 --> 00:13:46.248
Really being radical. which is the way you get, if you love jesus enough.
00:13:46.315 --> 00:13:49.118

"why did you waste that?" and jesus said, "she has done this
00:14:00.529 --> 00:14:01.297
And jesus said, "she has done this in preparation for my burial."
00:14:01.363 --> 00:14:02.932
"she has done this in preparation for my burial." you know what i think?
00:14:02.998 --> 00:14:03.832

I think that helped him emotionally. 'cause see, emotionally,
00:14:09.338 --> 00:14:10.172
Him emotionally. 'cause see, emotionally, his disciples all went to sleep.
00:14:10.239 --> 00:14:11.874
'cause see, emotionally, his disciples all went to sleep. they couldn't even
00:14:11.941 --> 00:14:12.441
His disciples all went to sleep. they couldn't even pray with him an hour.
00:14:12.508 --> 00:14:14.777
They couldn't even pray with him an hour. he was going through a lot
00:14:14.843 --> 00:14:15.644
Pray with him an hour. he was going through a lot of emotional things.
00:14:15.711 --> 00:14:16.178
He was going through a lot of emotional things. but here, mary comes,

Of emotional things. but here, mary comes, and she takes perfume
00:14:18.314 --> 00:14:19.515
But here, mary comes, and she takes perfume worth a year's wages,
00:14:19.581 --> 00:14:20.783
And she takes perfume worth a year's wages, and just pours it all over him.

Once in a while, you're worthy of waste. you can get up, mike.

So, i spent years gettin' mad at him. there's no point in that.
00:15:47.569 --> 00:15:48.871
Mad at him. there's no point in that. it's not the way god's

There's no point in that. it's not the way god's put them together.
00:15:52.975 --> 00:15:53.575
It's not the way god's put them together. he's got a lot
00:15:53.642 --> 00:15:54.209
Put them together. he's got a lot of other great gifts.

But if you're not getting something from somebody else, that you want, ask god for it.

00:19:31.126 --> 00:19:32.027
But what does it look like when some of life's biggest
00:19:32.094 --> 00:19:33.195
When some of life's biggest battles keep us down?

Times that we feel like we are just going through the motions
00:19:38.767 --> 00:19:40.369
Just going through the motions in life and barely getting by.
00:19:40.435 --> 00:19:42.871
In life and barely getting by. well, let me tell you,
00:19:42.938 --> 00:19:44.006
Well, let me tell you, that's not how god
00:19:44.072 --> 00:19:45.574
That's not how god wants us to live.
00:19:45.641 --> 00:19:46.875
Jesus paid too big a price
00:19:47.776 --> 00:19:49.411
Jesus paid too big a price for us to remain defeated.
00:19:49.478 --> 00:19:51.647
For us to remain defeated. and like joyce says,
00:19:51.713 --> 00:19:53.448
And like joyce says, "god wants to heal
00:19:53.515 --> 00:19:54.983
"god wants to heal you everywhere you hurt,"
00:19:55.050 --> 00:19:57.452
You everywhere you hurt," because he wants
00:19:57.519 --> 00:19:58.553
Because he wants you to enjoy the life
00:19:58.620 --> 00:19:59.788
You to enjoy the life he's given you.
00:19:59.855 --> 00:20:01.256

Area in your life that is beyond his reach.

Is beyond his reach. we have to apply

We have to apply god's word to the areas
00:20:09.298 --> 00:20:10.766
God's word to the areas we want to see changed.
00:20:10.832 --> 00:20:12.200
