God's word is your
00:02:13.723 --> 00:02:14.724
God's word is your spiritual food.
00:02:14.791 --> 00:02:15.525
God's word is your spiritual food. jeremiah said, "when your
00:02:15.592 --> 00:02:16.359
Spiritual food. jeremiah said, "when your words came, i ate them;
00:02:16.426 --> 00:02:17.760
Jeremiah said, "when your words came, i ate them; and they were my joy
00:02:17.827 --> 00:02:21.431
Words came, i ate them; and they were my joy and my heart's delight."
00:02:21.497 --> 00:02:25.935
And they were my joy and my heart's delight." meditating on god's word,
00:02:26.002 --> 00:02:27.136
Is like chewing your food.
00:02:27.203 --> 00:02:28.238
Is like chewing your food. it's like, what does it mean,
00:02:28.304 --> 00:02:29.906
Is like chewing your food. it's like, what does it mean, to meditate on god's word?
00:02:29.973 --> 00:02:31.441
It's like, what does it mean, to meditate on god's word? just to think about
00:02:31.507 --> 00:02:32.675
To meditate on god's word? just to think about a scripture over and over.
00:02:32.742 --> 00:02:33.776
Just to think about a scripture over and over. and maybe like to take,
00:02:33.843 --> 00:02:35.478
A scripture over and over. and maybe like to take, each word of a scripture,
00:02:35.545 --> 00:02:38.114
And maybe like to take, each word of a scripture, and really think about it.
00:02:38.181 --> 00:02:39.716
Like if you took psalm 139,
00:02:40.083 --> 00:02:42.819
Like if you took psalm 139, about how god created you,
00:02:42.885 --> 00:02:44.153
Like if you took psalm 139, about how god created you, and how you're fearfully,
00:02:44.220 --> 00:02:45.054
About how god created you, and how you're fearfully, and wonderfully made.
00:02:45.121 --> 00:02:46.122
And how you're fearfully, and wonderfully made. and if you took each word,
00:02:46.189 --> 00:02:47.523
And wonderfully made. and if you took each word, and just thought about that.
00:02:47.590 --> 00:02:49.926
And if you took each word, and just thought about that. you know, we read the bible,
00:02:49.993 --> 00:02:51.361
But what do we really
00:02:51.427 --> 00:02:52.295
But what do we really get out of it sometimes?
00:02:52.362 --> 00:02:54.731
But what do we really get out of it sometimes? because sometimes,
00:02:54.797 --> 00:02:55.732
Get out of it sometimes? because sometimes, we get this religious thinking,
00:02:55.798 --> 00:02:57.467
Because sometimes, we get this religious thinking, that more is better.
00:02:57.533 --> 00:03:00.403
We get this religious thinking, that more is better. so, we're real proud
00:03:00.470 --> 00:03:01.170
That more is better. so, we're real proud of ourself if we, you know,
00:03:01.237 --> 00:03:04.340
So, we're real proud of ourself if we, you know, read 6 chapters a day.
00:03:04.407 --> 00:03:06.809
Of ourself if we, you know, read 6 chapters a day. but what difference
00:03:06.876 --> 00:03:07.410
Read 6 chapters a day. but what difference does it make, if you didn't
00:03:07.477 --> 00:03:08.278
But what difference does it make, if you didn't understand any of it?
00:03:08.344 --> 00:03:10.213
Does it make, if you didn't understand any of it? god would rather
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:10.880
Understand any of it? god would rather you read one verse,
00:03:10.947 --> 00:03:13.750
God would rather you read one verse, and get something out of it,
00:03:13.816 --> 00:03:14.717
You read one verse, and get something out of it, than to read the whole
00:03:14.784 --> 00:03:15.485

Don't hide sin in your heart. you're not hiding anything from god.
00:03:22.925 --> 00:03:25.161
You're not hiding anything from god. he knows it anyway.

A problem with this." i mean, it's amazing, sometimes how that will
00:03:37.740 --> 00:03:38.641
I mean, it's amazing, sometimes how that will break a stronghold off of you.
00:03:38.708 --> 00:03:40.343
Sometimes how that will break a stronghold off of you. just to speak it out,
00:03:40.410 --> 00:03:41.511

Wow. some people go on vacation, just so they can
00:04:02.265 --> 00:04:02.832
Some people go on vacation, just so they can lay on the beach,
00:04:02.899 --> 00:04:03.466
Just so they can lay on the beach, and worry about what
00:04:03.533 --> 00:04:04.167
Lay on the beach, and worry about what they're gonna do,
00:04:04.233 --> 00:04:04.801
And worry about what they're gonna do, with the rest of their life.
00:04:04.867 --> 00:04:05.835

Two of the main things,
00:04:13.142 --> 00:04:14.010
Two of the main things, that cause people,
00:04:14.077 --> 00:04:14.911
Two of the main things, that cause people, to wear out mentally,
00:04:14.977 --> 00:04:16.379
That cause people, to wear out mentally, is worry and reasoning.
00:04:16.446 --> 00:04:19.716
To wear out mentally, is worry and reasoning. trying to figure things out,
00:04:19.782 --> 00:04:21.017

Trying to figure things out, that only god knows, that he's not telling
00:04:22.151 --> 00:04:22.885
That only god knows, that he's not telling anybody yet.

Anybody yet. and there's no such thing, as trusting god,
00:04:27.557 --> 00:04:28.291
And there's no such thing, as trusting god, without unanswered questions.
00:04:28.358 --> 00:04:30.927
As trusting god, without unanswered questions. no wonder god tells us,
00:04:30.993 --> 00:04:32.261
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,
00:04:54.617 --> 00:04:55.251
You can't figure all that out. you just say, "god, i belong to you.
00:04:55.318 --> 00:04:58.354
You just say, "god, i belong to you. you created me with
00:04:58.421 --> 00:04:59.222
I belong to you. you created me with your own hand.
00:04:59.288 --> 00:04:59.922
You created me with your own hand. i'm fearfully
00:04:59.989 --> 00:05:00.556
Your own hand. i'm fearfully and wonderfully made.
00:05:00.623 --> 00:05:02.024
I'm fearfully and wonderfully made. my name is written
00:05:02.091 --> 00:05:03.025
And wonderfully made. my name is written in your book of life."
00:05:03.092 --> 00:05:04.927
If i died with covid--
00:05:05.962 --> 00:05:08.698
If i died with covid-- i mean, paul said,
00:05:08.765 --> 00:05:11.000
If i died with covid-- i mean, paul said, "to live is christ,
00:05:11.067 --> 00:05:11.868
I mean, paul said, "to live is christ, to die is gain."
00:05:11.934 --> 00:05:15.071
"to live is christ, to die is gain." we need to look at it,
00:05:15.138 --> 00:05:18.508
According to what
00:05:18.574 --> 00:05:19.175
According to what the bible says.
00:05:19.242 --> 00:05:19.909
According to what the bible says. you don't need
00:05:19.976 --> 00:05:20.543
The bible says. you don't need to be afraid to die.
00:05:20.610 --> 00:05:22.578
You don't need to be afraid to die. if you're a believer, wow!
00:05:22.645 --> 00:05:26.416
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.
00:05:34.357 --> 00:05:35.291
And i don't mean that like i-- you know, have a death wish. but i mean, wow!
00:05:35.358 --> 00:05:38.327
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?
00:05:39.028 --> 00:05:40.630
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.
00:05:46.135 --> 00:05:47.904
Choir gonna sound like? i wanna do a seminar with moses. >> [audience laughing]
00:05:47.970 --> 00:05:49.672
I wanna do a seminar with moses. >> [audience laughing] >> joyce: and i've been--
00:05:49.739 --> 00:05:50.473
>> [audience laughing] >> joyce: and i've been-- i've been thinking about it.
00:05:50.540 --> 00:05:55.244
>> joyce: and i've been-- i've been thinking about it. we worry about so many
00:05:55.311 --> 00:05:56.245
I've been thinking about it. we worry about so many different things.
00:05:56.312 --> 00:05:57.046
We worry about so many different things. and you know,
00:05:57.113 --> 00:05:58.147
Different things. and you know, i'm reading a book right now,
00:05:58.214 --> 00:05:59.282
And you know, i'm reading a book right now, that is about the mind.
00:05:59.348 --> 00:06:00.917
I'm reading a book right now, that is about the mind. and i've written,
00:06:00.983 --> 00:06:01.517
That is about the mind. and i've written, a lot of stuff on the mind.
00:06:01.584 --> 00:06:02.552
And i've written, a lot of stuff on the mind. but this is really a good book.
00:06:02.618 --> 00:06:05.521
A lot of stuff on the mind. but this is really a good book. and one of the things
00:06:05.588 --> 00:06:06.255
But this is really a good book. and one of the things that the author said,
00:06:06.322 --> 00:06:07.123
And one of the things that the author said, that i really like is,
00:06:07.190 --> 00:06:08.524
That the author said, that i really like is, "is when you have
00:06:08.591 --> 00:06:10.660
That i really like is, "is when you have a wrong thought pattern--"
00:06:10.726 --> 00:06:11.727
"is when you have a wrong thought pattern--" let's just say like you worry
00:06:11.794 --> 00:06:12.662
A wrong thought pattern--" let's just say like you worry about money all the time.
00:06:12.728 --> 00:06:14.997
Let's just say like you worry about money all the time. "the first thing you
00:06:15.064 --> 00:06:15.765
About money all the time. "the first thing you need to ask yourself is,
00:06:15.832 --> 00:06:17.266
"the first thing you need to ask yourself is, 'where did this come from?'"
00:06:17.333 --> 00:06:21.337
Need to ask yourself is, 'where did this come from?'" see like, for example,
00:06:21.404 --> 00:06:22.271
'where did this come from?'" see like, for example, when i was growing up,
00:06:22.338 --> 00:06:24.507
See like, for example, when i was growing up, nobody did anything for me.
00:06:24.574 --> 00:06:26.709
When i was growing up, nobody did anything for me. i had to take care of myself.
00:06:26.776 --> 00:06:28.478
Nobody did anything for me. i had to take care of myself. now, my parents gave
00:06:28.544 --> 00:06:30.246
I had to take care of myself. now, my parents gave me a place to live,
00:06:30.313 --> 00:06:31.013
Now, my parents gave me a place to live, and they fed me,
00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:31.647
Me a place to live, and they fed me, and they bought me what clothes,
00:06:31.714 --> 00:06:33.082
And they fed me, and they bought me what clothes, i absolutely had to have.
00:06:33.149 --> 00:06:34.484
And they bought me what clothes, i absolutely had to have. but my dad wouldn't
00:06:34.550 --> 00:06:35.751
I absolutely had to have. but my dad wouldn't buy my graduation dress.
00:06:35.818 --> 00:06:37.253
But my dad wouldn't buy my graduation dress. he wouldn't buy
00:06:37.320 --> 00:06:37.887
Buy my graduation dress. he wouldn't buy my school pictures.
00:06:37.954 --> 00:06:38.521
He wouldn't buy my school pictures. he wouldn't buy my class ring.
00:06:38.588 --> 00:06:39.922
My school pictures. he wouldn't buy my class ring. anything that was like
00:06:39.989 --> 00:06:40.857
He wouldn't buy my class ring. anything that was like something special for me.
00:06:40.923 --> 00:06:43.993
Anything that was like something special for me. so, i have a little more fear,
00:06:44.060 --> 00:06:48.664
Something special for me. so, i have a little more fear, of not having enough money,
00:06:48.731 --> 00:06:51.234
So, i have a little more fear, of not having enough money, than dave does.
00:06:51.300 --> 00:06:51.868
Of not having enough money, than dave does. dave was raised--
00:06:51.934 --> 00:06:53.503
Than dave does. dave was raised-- his family was poor.
00:06:53.569 --> 00:06:55.838
Dave was raised-- his family was poor. mine weren't.
00:06:55.905 --> 00:06:57.473
His family was poor. mine weren't. his family was poor,
00:06:57.540 --> 00:06:58.374
Mine weren't. his family was poor, but he had a mother,
00:06:58.441 --> 00:07:00.443
His family was poor, but he had a mother, who taught him how
00:07:00.510 --> 00:07:01.177
But he had a mother, who taught him how to trust god.
00:07:01.244 --> 00:07:02.345
Who taught him how to trust god. and he watched god,
00:07:02.411 --> 00:07:03.779
To trust god. and he watched god, provide for them time,
00:07:03.846 --> 00:07:06.382
And he watched god, provide for them time, after time, after time.
00:07:06.449 --> 00:07:07.283
Provide for them time, after time, after time. like one of the things
00:07:07.350 --> 00:07:08.484
After time, after time. like one of the things she did was, she cleaned
00:07:08.551 --> 00:07:09.719
Like one of the things she did was, she cleaned homes for people.
00:07:09.785 --> 00:07:11.387
She did was, she cleaned homes for people. and a lot of the people,
00:07:11.454 --> 00:07:12.755
Homes for people. and a lot of the people, that she cleaned homes for,
00:07:12.822 --> 00:07:13.856
And a lot of the people, that she cleaned homes for, were wealthy people.
00:07:13.923 --> 00:07:15.258
And many times,
00:07:15.691 --> 00:07:16.259
And many times, they would give her whole bags,
00:07:16.325 --> 00:07:18.394
And many times, they would give her whole bags, of brand-new clothing,
00:07:18.461 --> 00:07:20.796
They would give her whole bags, of brand-new clothing, to bring home.
00:07:20.863 --> 00:07:23.232
Of brand-new clothing, to bring home. well, dave doesn't have
00:07:23.299 --> 00:07:24.300
To bring home. well, dave doesn't have any fear, concerning money.
00:07:24.367 --> 00:07:28.404
Well, dave doesn't have any fear, concerning money. so, it's helpful for me to say,
00:07:28.471 --> 00:07:31.307
"where did that come from?"
00:07:31.374 --> 00:07:34.710
"where did that come from?" "why am i like that?"
00:07:34.777 --> 00:07:37.813
"where did that come from?" "why am i like that?" i know a man, who has so much
00:07:37.880 --> 00:07:40.950
"why am i like that?" i know a man, who has so much fear about money.
00:07:41.017 --> 00:07:44.220
I know a man, who has so much fear about money. i mean, like he won't
00:07:44.287 --> 00:07:44.954
Fear about money. i mean, like he won't hardly buy anything,
00:07:45.021 --> 00:07:46.055
I mean, like he won't hardly buy anything, except what he just
00:07:46.122 --> 00:07:47.189
Hardly buy anything, except what he just absolutely has to have,
00:07:47.256 --> 00:07:47.990
Except what he just absolutely has to have, even though he has
00:07:48.057 --> 00:07:48.624
Absolutely has to have, even though he has the money to do it.
00:07:48.691 --> 00:07:50.726
Even though he has the money to do it. why?
00:07:50.793 --> 00:07:52.028
The money to do it. why? because he went through
00:07:52.094 --> 00:07:52.828
Why? because he went through a season, of real poverty,
00:07:52.895 --> 00:07:54.764
Because he went through a season, of real poverty, in his childhood.
00:07:54.830 --> 00:07:57.033
A season, of real poverty, in his childhood. and even though his mother,
00:07:57.099 --> 00:07:58.100
In his childhood. and even though his mother, remarried a man that
00:07:58.167 --> 00:07:59.168
And even though his mother, remarried a man that took good care of them--
00:07:59.235 --> 00:08:00.570
Remarried a man that took good care of them-- it's amazing, how you can
00:08:00.636 --> 00:08:01.871
Took good care of them-- it's amazing, how you can get stuck in a mindset.
00:08:01.938 --> 00:08:06.642
It's amazing, how you can get stuck in a mindset. i mean, some people
00:08:06.709 --> 00:08:09.211
Get stuck in a mindset. i mean, some people can worry about what
00:08:09.278 --> 00:08:10.546
I mean, some people can worry about what people think of them,
00:08:10.613 --> 00:08:11.647
Can worry about what people think of them, because of one
00:08:11.714 --> 00:08:13.049
People think of them, because of one very painful thing,
00:08:13.115 --> 00:08:14.650
Because of one very painful thing, that somebody said to them,
00:08:14.717 --> 00:08:16.686
Very painful thing, that somebody said to them, 25 or 30 years ago.
00:08:16.752 --> 00:08:19.789
That somebody said to them, 25 or 30 years ago. so, if you're stuck
00:08:19.855 --> 00:08:20.823
25 or 30 years ago. so, if you're stuck in a worry pattern,
00:08:20.890 --> 00:08:21.991
So, if you're stuck in a worry pattern, about the same thing over,
00:08:22.058 --> 00:08:23.426
In a worry pattern, about the same thing over, and over, and over--
00:08:23.492 --> 00:08:24.827
About the same thing over, and over, and over-- maybe you do pretty good,
00:08:24.894 --> 00:08:25.761
And over, and over-- maybe you do pretty good, in all these areas,
00:08:25.828 --> 00:08:26.629
Maybe you do pretty good, in all these areas, like, maybe, you don't
00:08:26.696 --> 00:08:27.496
In all these areas, like, maybe, you don't worry about your kids,
00:08:27.563 --> 00:08:28.230
Like, maybe, you don't worry about your kids, but this money thing
00:08:28.297 --> 00:08:29.332
Worry about your kids, but this money thing is a problem.
00:08:29.398 --> 00:08:30.499
But this money thing is a problem. or maybe, you worry about
00:08:30.566 --> 00:08:31.334
Is a problem. or maybe, you worry about your health, or whatever it is.
00:08:31.400 --> 00:08:33.336
Or maybe, you worry about your health, or whatever it is. don't just keep doin' it,
00:08:33.402 --> 00:08:35.338
Your health, or whatever it is. don't just keep doin' it, and fightin' it, and trying
00:08:35.404 --> 00:08:36.472
Don't just keep doin' it, and fightin' it, and trying to get over it yourself.
00:08:36.539 --> 00:08:37.773
And fightin' it, and trying to get over it yourself. ask god to show you,
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.109
To get over it yourself. ask god to show you, "what is the source of this?"
00:08:40.176 --> 00:08:43.813
Ask god to show you, "what is the source of this?" because if you don't
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:44.513
"what is the source of this?" because if you don't get to the root,
00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:45.214
Because if you don't get to the root, it'll just keep producing
00:08:45.281 --> 00:08:46.349
Get to the root, it'll just keep producing bad fruit.
00:08:46.415 --> 00:08:51.654
It'll just keep producing bad fruit. ginger asked me, the other day,
00:08:51.721 --> 00:08:52.555
Bad fruit. ginger asked me, the other day, if i had anything special
00:08:52.622 --> 00:08:53.856
Ginger asked me, the other day, if i had anything special in my heart for this year.
00:08:53.923 --> 00:08:54.790
If i had anything special in my heart for this year. and i said, "yes, take life
00:08:54.857 --> 00:08:56.125
In my heart for this year. and i said, "yes, take life one day at a time."
00:08:56.192 --> 00:08:59.729
And i said, "yes, take life one day at a time." such a great example,
00:08:59.795 --> 00:09:00.796
One day at a time." such a great example, with the manna.
00:09:00.863 --> 00:09:02.832
Such a great example, with the manna. god provided their food daily.
00:09:02.898 --> 00:09:05.301
Just imagine how--what, just--
00:09:05.968 --> 00:09:07.236
Just imagine how--what, just-- see, we don't think
00:09:07.303 --> 00:09:08.337
Just imagine how--what, just-- see, we don't think about stuff enough.
00:09:08.404 --> 00:09:09.038
See, we don't think about stuff enough. think about that.
00:09:09.105 --> 00:09:10.239
About stuff enough. think about that. now, they're out
00:09:10.306 --> 00:09:10.873
Think about that. now, they're out in the middle of nowhere,
00:09:10.940 --> 00:09:13.809
Now, they're out in the middle of nowhere, and all this food comes down,
00:09:13.876 --> 00:09:16.278
In the middle of nowhere, and all this food comes down, and god says, "now you can
00:09:16.345 --> 00:09:17.179
And all this food comes down, and god says, "now you can only gather enough for today.
00:09:17.246 --> 00:09:19.782
And god says, "now you can only gather enough for today. and if you gather
00:09:19.849 --> 00:09:20.650
Only gather enough for today. and if you gather more than that,
00:09:20.716 --> 00:09:21.384
And if you gather more than that, it's gonna rot and stink."
00:09:21.450 --> 00:09:24.787
More than that, it's gonna rot and stink." and they had to trust god,
00:09:24.854 --> 00:09:26.922
It's gonna rot and stink." and they had to trust god, that the next day,
00:09:26.989 --> 00:09:28.290
And they had to trust god, that the next day, he would show up again.
00:09:28.357 --> 00:09:31.727
That the next day, he would show up again. come on.
00:09:31.794 --> 00:09:34.664
He would show up again. come on. it was probably a little
00:09:34.730 --> 00:09:35.765
Come on. it was probably a little harder than we think.
00:09:35.831 --> 00:09:38.100
It was probably a little harder than we think. "seek first the kingdom
00:09:38.167 --> 00:09:39.068
Harder than we think. "seek first the kingdom of god and his righteousness,
00:09:39.135 --> 00:09:40.336
"seek first the kingdom of god and his righteousness, and all these other things
00:09:40.403 --> 00:09:41.404
Of god and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added unto you."
00:09:41.470 --> 00:09:46.976
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,
00:12:07.850 --> 00:12:08.751
We get mad at people sometimes, for not giving us something, and they don't even
00:12:08.818 --> 00:12:09.418
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
00:12:11.554 --> 00:12:13.022
Know how to do it. it's not even in their wheelhouse.
00:12:13.088 --> 00:12:15.357
It's not even in their wheelhouse. maybe they were raised,
00:12:15.424 --> 00:12:16.158
In their wheelhouse. maybe they were raised, in a family where there
00:12:16.225 --> 00:12:17.026
Maybe they were raised, in a family where there wasn't much affection shown.
00:12:17.092 --> 00:12:19.995
In a family where there wasn't much affection shown. maybe a guy was,
00:12:20.062 --> 00:12:20.729
Wasn't much affection shown. maybe a guy was, and he marries a woman,
00:12:20.796 --> 00:12:21.664
Maybe a guy was, and he marries a woman, who got a ton of affection,
00:12:21.730 --> 00:12:23.098

That's just not even-- he don't get it. well, then she needs to pray,
00:12:31.874 --> 00:12:32.942
He don't get it. well, then she needs to pray, that god will give that to her,
00:12:33.008 --> 00:12:34.410
Well, then she needs to pray, that god will give that to her, through another source.
00:12:34.476 --> 00:12:37.947
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.

Which a woman did not do in public. first of all,
00:13:35.971 --> 00:13:36.538
Not do in public. first of all, for her to even be in there--
00:13:36.605 --> 00:13:37.907
First of all, for her to even be in there-- to come that close to jesus,
00:13:37.973 --> 00:13:39.708
For her to even be in there-- to come that close to jesus, i mean, like she was
00:13:39.775 --> 00:13:40.976
To come that close to jesus, i mean, like she was really being radical.
00:13:41.043 --> 00:13:44.446
I mean, like she was really being radical. which is the way you get,
00:13:44.513 --> 00:13:45.514
Really being radical. which is the way you get, if you love jesus enough.
00:13:45.581 --> 00:13:48.384

"why did you waste that?" and jesus said, "she has done this
00:13:59.795 --> 00:14:00.562
And jesus said, "she has done this in preparation for my burial."
00:14:00.629 --> 00:14:02.197
"she has done this in preparation for my burial." you know what i think?
00:14:02.264 --> 00:14:03.098

I think that helped him emotionally. 'cause see, emotionally,
00:14:08.604 --> 00:14:09.438
Him emotionally. 'cause see, emotionally, his disciples all went to sleep.
00:14:09.505 --> 00:14:11.140
'cause see, emotionally, his disciples all went to sleep. they couldn't even
00:14:11.206 --> 00:14:11.707
His disciples all went to sleep. they couldn't even pray with him an hour.
00:14:11.774 --> 00:14:14.043
They couldn't even pray with him an hour. he was going through a lot
00:14:14.109 --> 00:14:14.910
Pray with him an hour. he was going through a lot of emotional things.
00:14:14.977 --> 00:14:15.411
He was going through a lot of emotional things. but here, mary comes,

Of emotional things. but here, mary comes, and she takes perfume

But here, mary comes, and she takes perfume worth a year's wages,
00:14:18.847 --> 00:14:20.015
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.
00:15:46.835 --> 00:15:48.103
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.

It's not the way god's put them together. he's got a lot
00:15:52.875 --> 00:15:53.475
Put them together. he's got a lot of other great gifts.

And meet them head on is imperative.
00:19:26.955 --> 00:19:28.724
Head on is imperative. we can't keep changes
00:19:28.790 --> 00:19:29.725
We can't keep changes from coming.
00:19:29.791 --> 00:19:30.993
From coming. but we can manage our
00:19:31.059 --> 00:19:31.827

00:19:31.893 --> 00:19:32.828
Reaction to it and even come
00:19:32.894 --> 00:19:33.862
And even come to welcome it
00:19:33.929 --> 00:19:34.363
