Good is going to happen. but i wonder how many of you are actually
00:00:05.417 --> 00:00:06.151
But i wonder how many of you are actually aggressively expecting,
00:00:06.218 --> 00:00:08.921
Of you are actually aggressively expecting, something good to happen.
00:00:08.987 --> 00:00:10.322

>> joyce: you know, today, in our society, there's so many things going
00:00:24.203 --> 00:00:25.771
In our society, there's so many things going on that can make people afraid,
00:00:25.838 --> 00:00:28.240
There's so many things going on that can make people afraid, and god really wants
00:00:28.307 --> 00:00:30.943
On that can make people afraid, and god really wants you to enjoy your life.
00:00:31.009 --> 00:00:34.313
And god really wants you to enjoy your life. i love john 10:10: "the thief
00:00:34.379 --> 00:00:35.981
You to enjoy your life. i love john 10:10: "the thief comes only to kill, steal,
00:00:36.048 --> 00:00:37.082
I love john 10:10: "the thief comes only to kill, steal, and destroy."
00:00:37.149 --> 00:00:37.749
Comes only to kill, steal, and destroy." but jesus said, "i came that
00:00:37.816 --> 00:00:38.851
And destroy." but jesus said, "i came that you might have,
00:00:38.917 --> 00:00:39.518
But jesus said, "i came that you might have, and enjoy your life.
00:00:39.585 --> 00:00:41.487
You might have, and enjoy your life. have it in the full abundantly
00:00:41.553 --> 00:00:43.789
And enjoy your life. have it in the full abundantly until it overflows."
00:00:43.856 --> 00:00:44.790
Have it in the full abundantly until it overflows." and so, are you enjoying
00:00:44.857 --> 00:00:46.825
Until it overflows." and so, are you enjoying your life?
00:00:46.892 --> 00:00:47.759
And so, are you enjoying your life? would you say that,
00:00:47.826 --> 00:00:50.195
Your life? would you say that, at least 90% of the time
00:00:50.262 --> 00:00:52.231
Would you say that, at least 90% of the time you really enjoy your life?
00:00:52.297 --> 00:00:54.833
At least 90% of the time you really enjoy your life? i believe it's one of the ways
00:00:54.900 --> 00:00:56.602
You really enjoy your life? i believe it's one of the ways that we glorify god
00:00:56.668 --> 00:00:57.870
I believe it's one of the ways that we glorify god by enjoying him, and enjoying
00:00:57.936 --> 00:01:00.105
That we glorify god by enjoying him, and enjoying what he's given us.
00:01:00.172 --> 00:01:01.707
By enjoying him, and enjoying what he's given us. but, one of the things that
00:01:01.773 --> 00:01:04.676
What he's given us. but, one of the things that will prevent joy is fear.
00:01:04.743 --> 00:01:07.813
But, one of the things that will prevent joy is fear. and in the world that
00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:08.547
Will prevent joy is fear. and in the world that we live in today,
00:01:08.614 --> 00:01:09.314
And in the world that we live in today, there are many, many, many
00:01:09.381 --> 00:01:10.849
We live in today, there are many, many, many opportunities to be afraid.
00:01:10.916 --> 00:01:15.821
There are many, many, many opportunities to be afraid. certainly, we read or look
00:01:15.888 --> 00:01:17.456
Opportunities to be afraid. certainly, we read or look at the news and it's just
00:01:17.523 --> 00:01:19.458
Certainly, we read or look at the news and it's just one bad thing after another.
00:01:19.525 --> 00:01:22.427
It seems like most people
00:01:22.494 --> 00:01:23.795
It seems like most people that you try to talk to,
00:01:23.862 --> 00:01:26.165
It seems like most people that you try to talk to, they wanna talk about
00:01:26.231 --> 00:01:27.065
That you try to talk to, they wanna talk about all the problems in the world.
00:01:27.132 --> 00:01:28.433
They wanna talk about all the problems in the world. and i know we have problems
00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:30.569
All the problems in the world. and i know we have problems and we can't ignore them,
00:01:30.636 --> 00:01:32.104
And i know we have problems and we can't ignore them, can't stick our head
00:01:32.171 --> 00:01:32.771
And we can't ignore them, can't stick our head in the sand,
00:01:32.838 --> 00:01:33.405
Can't stick our head in the sand, but we also have god!
00:01:33.472 --> 00:01:35.974
In the sand, but we also have god! come on ladies,
00:01:36.041 --> 00:01:36.642
But we also have god! come on ladies, i want all of you to say,
00:01:36.708 --> 00:01:38.177
Come on ladies, i want all of you to say, "we also have god!"
00:01:38.243 --> 00:01:41.079
I want all of you to say, "we also have god!" and you know what?
00:01:41.146 --> 00:01:41.880
"we also have god!" and you know what? god is greater than any problem,
00:01:41.947 --> 00:01:44.249
And you know what? god is greater than any problem, he's greater than
00:01:44.316 --> 00:01:44.883
God is greater than any problem, he's greater than all the problems in the world,
00:01:44.950 --> 00:01:46.752
He's greater than all the problems in the world, all put together.
00:01:46.818 --> 00:01:48.320
All the problems in the world, all put together. god is greater than, i mean,
00:01:48.387 --> 00:01:50.222
All put together. god is greater than, i mean, hopefully there are thousands
00:01:50.289 --> 00:01:52.224
God is greater than, i mean, hopefully there are thousands and thousands of people
00:01:52.291 --> 00:01:54.259
Hopefully there are thousands and thousands of people watching right now.
00:01:54.326 --> 00:01:55.227
And thousands of people watching right now. and if you put all your
00:01:55.294 --> 00:01:57.596
Watching right now. and if you put all your problems together,
00:01:57.663 --> 00:01:58.497
And if you put all your problems together, god is greater than
00:01:58.564 --> 00:01:59.965
Problems together, god is greater than all of those problems.
00:02:00.032 --> 00:02:01.600
God is greater than all of those problems. and he wants to set
00:02:01.667 --> 00:02:05.070
All of those problems. and he wants to set us free from fear.
00:02:05.137 --> 00:02:07.506
And he wants to set us free from fear. now being set free from fear,
00:02:07.573 --> 00:02:08.941
Us free from fear. now being set free from fear, doesn't mean that you never
00:02:09.007 --> 00:02:09.841
Now being set free from fear, doesn't mean that you never feel fear, it just means that
00:02:09.908 --> 00:02:12.311
Doesn't mean that you never feel fear, it just means that you don't let fear control you.
00:02:12.377 --> 00:02:15.080
Feel fear, it just means that you don't let fear control you. you learn to do what you
00:02:15.147 --> 00:02:16.114
You don't let fear control you. you learn to do what you believe god wants you to do,
00:02:16.181 --> 00:02:17.482
You learn to do what you believe god wants you to do, or you learn to do what's
00:02:17.549 --> 00:02:18.650
Believe god wants you to do, or you learn to do what's really in your heart to do,
00:02:18.717 --> 00:02:20.719
Or you learn to do what's really in your heart to do, even if you have to do it while
00:02:20.786 --> 00:02:22.521
Really in your heart to do, even if you have to do it while you do feel a little bit
00:02:22.588 --> 00:02:24.256
Even if you have to do it while you do feel a little bit of fear.
00:02:24.323 --> 00:02:25.490
You do feel a little bit of fear. courage is actually
00:02:25.557 --> 00:02:26.592
Of fear. courage is actually going forward
00:02:26.658 --> 00:02:27.526
Courage is actually going forward in the presence of fear,
00:02:27.593 --> 00:02:28.827
Going forward in the presence of fear, it's not the absence of fear.
00:02:28.894 --> 00:02:31.697
In the presence of fear, it's not the absence of fear. and the word fear,
00:02:31.763 --> 00:02:32.564
It's not the absence of fear. and the word fear, really means to run away from,
00:02:32.631 --> 00:02:34.199
And the word fear, really means to run away from, to take flight,
00:02:34.266 --> 00:02:35.334
Really means to run away from, to take flight, or to run away from.
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:36.368
To take flight, or to run away from. and there's a lot
00:02:36.435 --> 00:02:37.803
Or to run away from. and there's a lot of different kinds of fears.
00:02:37.869 --> 00:02:39.638
And there's a lot of different kinds of fears. and so, i thought tonight
00:02:39.705 --> 00:02:40.772
Of different kinds of fears. and so, i thought tonight what i might like to do is just
00:02:40.839 --> 00:02:43.342
And so, i thought tonight what i might like to do is just talk to you about,
00:02:43.408 --> 00:02:45.444
What i might like to do is just talk to you about, a variety of different kinds
00:02:45.510 --> 00:02:47.312
Talk to you about, a variety of different kinds of fears that we can
00:02:47.379 --> 00:02:49.514
A variety of different kinds of fears that we can focus on conquering.
00:02:49.581 --> 00:02:52.117
Of fears that we can focus on conquering. and i know that,
00:02:52.184 --> 00:02:53.318
Focus on conquering. and i know that, out of all the things
00:02:53.385 --> 00:02:54.152
And i know that, out of all the things i'm going to talk about,
00:02:54.219 --> 00:02:55.120
Out of all the things i'm going to talk about, there surely will be two,
00:02:55.187 --> 00:02:57.990
I'm going to talk about, there surely will be two, or three, or four of the things
00:02:58.056 --> 00:03:01.360
There surely will be two, or three, or four of the things that you really need.
00:03:01.426 --> 00:03:02.294
Or three, or four of the things that you really need. and some of you may say
00:03:02.361 --> 00:03:03.762
That you really need. and some of you may say when we're done,
00:03:03.829 --> 00:03:04.429
And some of you may say when we're done, "man, i needed all of those!"
00:03:04.496 --> 00:03:06.164
And so, the first fear
00:03:06.765 --> 00:03:07.633
And so, the first fear i wanna talk to you about is,
00:03:07.699 --> 00:03:09.067
And so, the first fear i wanna talk to you about is, the fear of evil.
00:03:09.134 --> 00:03:11.470
I wanna talk to you about is, the fear of evil. you know david,
00:03:11.536 --> 00:03:12.204
The fear of evil. you know david, the psalmist, said,
00:03:12.271 --> 00:03:13.739
You know david, the psalmist, said, "i will fear no evil,
00:03:13.805 --> 00:03:16.008
The psalmist, said, "i will fear no evil, for god is with me."
00:03:16.074 --> 00:03:18.243
"i will fear no evil, for god is with me." and i love psalm 27:13 and 14.
00:03:18.310 --> 00:03:22.314
For god is with me." and i love psalm 27:13 and 14. listen to this, "[what,
00:03:22.381 --> 00:03:24.816
And i love psalm 27:13 and 14. listen to this, "[what, what would have become of me]
00:03:24.883 --> 00:03:26.652
Listen to this, "[what, what would have become of me] had i not believed that
00:03:26.718 --> 00:03:27.919
What would have become of me] had i not believed that i would see the lord's goodness,
00:03:27.986 --> 00:03:30.122
Had i not believed that i would see the lord's goodness, in the land of the living!"
00:03:30.188 --> 00:03:31.957
I would see the lord's goodness, in the land of the living!" so, god wants you
00:03:32.024 --> 00:03:36.194
And me to expect, yes i said,
00:03:36.261 --> 00:03:38.463
And me to expect, yes i said, "expect" good things.
00:03:38.530 --> 00:03:40.999
And me to expect, yes i said, "expect" good things. not to dread evil things.
00:03:41.066 --> 00:03:44.403
"expect" good things. not to dread evil things. now, you know, i grew up
00:03:44.469 --> 00:03:45.337
Not to dread evil things. now, you know, i grew up in a dysfunctional situation,
00:03:45.404 --> 00:03:47.272
Now, you know, i grew up in a dysfunctional situation, abusive, dysfunctional
00:03:47.339 --> 00:03:49.508
In a dysfunctional situation, abusive, dysfunctional alcoholic situation
00:03:49.574 --> 00:03:51.376
Abusive, dysfunctional alcoholic situation and i had a lot of bad
00:03:51.443 --> 00:03:53.679
Alcoholic situation and i had a lot of bad things happen to me.
00:03:53.745 --> 00:03:54.846
And i had a lot of bad things happen to me. i married the first
00:03:54.913 --> 00:03:55.647
Things happen to me. i married the first guy that came along,
00:03:55.714 --> 00:03:56.481
I married the first guy that came along, because i thought nobody
00:03:56.548 --> 00:03:57.316
Guy that came along, because i thought nobody would ever want me.
00:03:57.382 --> 00:03:58.083
Because i thought nobody would ever want me. and he cheated on me,
00:03:58.150 --> 00:03:59.484
Would ever want me. and he cheated on me, and ran around
00:03:59.551 --> 00:04:00.118
And he cheated on me, and ran around with other women,
00:04:00.185 --> 00:04:00.752
And ran around with other women, and that was another
00:04:00.819 --> 00:04:01.453
With other women, and that was another five years of misery.
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:02.688
And that was another five years of misery. and so, even by the time
00:04:02.754 --> 00:04:04.890
Five years of misery. and so, even by the time i married my husband dave,
00:04:04.956 --> 00:04:06.692
And so, even by the time i married my husband dave, who i've been married
00:04:06.758 --> 00:04:07.392
I married my husband dave, who i've been married to now for 53, 54 years,
00:04:07.459 --> 00:04:11.997
Who i've been married to now for 53, 54 years, sometimes i lose count
00:04:12.064 --> 00:04:12.964
To now for 53, 54 years, sometimes i lose count when the numbers get
00:04:13.031 --> 00:04:13.632
Sometimes i lose count when the numbers get that high you have to sit
00:04:13.699 --> 00:04:14.533
When the numbers get that high you have to sit and think about it.
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:15.801
That high you have to sit and think about it. but by the time i married him,
00:04:15.867 --> 00:04:19.771
And think about it. but by the time i married him, i didn't even--he wanted
00:04:19.838 --> 00:04:21.006
But by the time i married him, i didn't even--he wanted to be good to me,
00:04:21.073 --> 00:04:21.740
I didn't even--he wanted to be good to me, but i didn't know
00:04:21.807 --> 00:04:22.441
To be good to me, but i didn't know how to receive it,
00:04:22.507 --> 00:04:23.475
But i didn't know how to receive it, because i had formed a habit--
00:04:23.542 --> 00:04:26.211
How to receive it, because i had formed a habit-- now, i want you to get
00:04:26.278 --> 00:04:27.579
Because i had formed a habit-- now, i want you to get a hold of this,
00:04:27.646 --> 00:04:28.213
Now, i want you to get a hold of this, i had formed
00:04:28.280 --> 00:04:28.980
A hold of this, i had formed a habit of expecting,
00:04:29.047 --> 00:04:32.317
I had formed a habit of expecting, bad things to happen.
00:04:32.384 --> 00:04:34.186
A habit of expecting, bad things to happen. you say, "well, why would
00:04:34.252 --> 00:04:34.953
Bad things to happen. you say, "well, why would anybody do that?"
00:04:35.020 --> 00:04:35.887
You say, "well, why would anybody do that?" well, i'd had so many
00:04:35.954 --> 00:04:36.755
Anybody do that?" well, i'd had so many bad things happen,
00:04:36.822 --> 00:04:38.223
Well, i'd had so many bad things happen, and i had been disappointed
00:04:38.290 --> 00:04:39.358
Bad things happen, and i had been disappointed so many times by expecting
00:04:39.424 --> 00:04:42.194
And i had been disappointed so many times by expecting something good,
00:04:42.260 --> 00:04:43.295
So many times by expecting something good, and then it not happening
00:04:43.362 --> 00:04:46.098
Something good, and then it not happening that i actually got to the point
00:04:46.164 --> 00:04:47.399
And then it not happening that i actually got to the point where i felt like i was
00:04:47.466 --> 00:04:48.266
That i actually got to the point where i felt like i was protecting myself,
00:04:48.333 --> 00:04:50.669
Where i felt like i was protecting myself, by just not ever believing that
00:04:50.736 --> 00:04:52.537
Protecting myself, by just not ever believing that good things were gonna happen.
00:04:52.604 --> 00:04:53.605
By just not ever believing that good things were gonna happen. now, some of you may
00:04:53.672 --> 00:04:54.606
Good things were gonna happen. now, some of you may be waiting to see if something
00:04:54.673 --> 00:04:56.241
Now, some of you may be waiting to see if something good is going to happen.
00:04:56.308 --> 00:04:57.275
Be waiting to see if something good is going to happen. but i wonder how many
00:04:57.342 --> 00:04:58.276
Good is going to happen. but i wonder how many of you are actually
00:04:58.343 --> 00:04:59.044
But i wonder how many of you are actually aggressively, expecting
00:04:59.111 --> 00:05:01.747
Of you are actually aggressively, expecting something good to happen.
00:05:01.813 --> 00:05:03.715
Aggressively, expecting something good to happen. see, i've come full circle now,
00:05:03.782 --> 00:05:05.317
Something good to happen. see, i've come full circle now, i've turned all the way
00:05:05.384 --> 00:05:06.752
See, i've come full circle now, i've turned all the way around in this,
00:05:06.818 --> 00:05:07.886
I've turned all the way around in this, and instead of expecting
00:05:07.953 --> 00:05:09.020
Around in this, and instead of expecting bad things to happen,
00:05:09.087 --> 00:05:10.288
And instead of expecting bad things to happen, every morning part
00:05:10.355 --> 00:05:11.356
Bad things to happen, every morning part of my prayer and fellowship
00:05:11.423 --> 00:05:12.491
Every morning part of my prayer and fellowship time with god is to say,
00:05:12.557 --> 00:05:14.126
Of my prayer and fellowship time with god is to say, "i am expecting something
00:05:14.192 --> 00:05:15.961
Time with god is to say, "i am expecting something good to happen to me today."
00:05:16.027 --> 00:05:19.531
"i am expecting something good to happen to me today." without faith we're
00:05:19.598 --> 00:05:20.432
Good to happen to me today." without faith we're all gonna live in fear,
00:05:20.499 --> 00:05:21.666
Without faith we're all gonna live in fear, because faith is the only
00:05:21.733 --> 00:05:23.034
All gonna live in fear, because faith is the only thing that conquers fear.
00:05:23.101 --> 00:05:24.836
Because faith is the only thing that conquers fear. when fear knocks on your
00:05:24.903 --> 00:05:25.737
Thing that conquers fear. when fear knocks on your door, send faith to answer.
00:05:25.804 --> 00:05:28.540
When fear knocks on your door, send faith to answer. without faith we cannot
00:05:28.607 --> 00:05:29.708
Door, send faith to answer. without faith we cannot receive from god.
00:05:29.775 --> 00:05:32.277
Without faith we cannot receive from god. god has many good
00:05:32.344 --> 00:05:32.944
Receive from god. god has many good things in store for you,
00:05:33.011 --> 00:05:33.912
God has many good things in store for you, but you have to have
00:05:33.979 --> 00:05:35.280
Things in store for you, but you have to have faith for them,
00:05:35.347 --> 00:05:36.648
But you have to have faith for them, and faith causes you to expect--
00:05:36.715 --> 00:05:38.683
Faith for them, and faith causes you to expect-- we receive through faith.
00:05:38.750 --> 00:05:41.119
And without fear,
00:05:41.887 --> 00:05:42.754
And without fear, we cannot receive from satan,
00:05:42.821 --> 00:05:46.024
And without fear, we cannot receive from satan, or the devil, our enemy.
00:05:46.091 --> 00:05:48.226
We cannot receive from satan, or the devil, our enemy. you can feel fear,
00:05:48.293 --> 00:05:49.861
Or the devil, our enemy. you can feel fear, but still keep going forward,
00:05:49.928 --> 00:05:51.530
You can feel fear, but still keep going forward, and doing the very thing
00:05:51.596 --> 00:05:54.566
But still keep going forward, and doing the very thing that you are afraid of.
00:05:54.633 --> 00:05:56.701
And doing the very thing that you are afraid of. many years ago,
00:05:56.768 --> 00:05:57.769
That you are afraid of. many years ago, when i felt like god wanted
00:05:57.836 --> 00:05:58.970
Many years ago, when i felt like god wanted me to quit my full-time job,
00:05:59.037 --> 00:06:00.372
When i felt like god wanted me to quit my full-time job, and spend time studying
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.442
Me to quit my full-time job, and spend time studying the word of god,
00:06:03.508 --> 00:06:04.309
And spend time studying the word of god, because i felt like
00:06:04.376 --> 00:06:05.243
The word of god, because i felt like he had called me to teach.
00:06:05.310 --> 00:06:07.379
Because i felt like he had called me to teach. i already had three children,
00:06:07.446 --> 00:06:08.547
He had called me to teach. i already had three children, i couldn't go off
00:06:08.613 --> 00:06:09.581
I already had three children, i couldn't go off to bible college,
00:06:09.648 --> 00:06:10.415
I couldn't go off to bible college, i couldn't leave them all
00:06:10.482 --> 00:06:11.817
And say, "bye-bye,
00:06:11.883 --> 00:06:12.984
And say, "bye-bye, mom's going to bible college."
00:06:13.051 --> 00:06:14.753
And say, "bye-bye, mom's going to bible college." but i had to have some
00:06:14.820 --> 00:06:15.620
Mom's going to bible college." but i had to have some kind of preparation,
00:06:15.687 --> 00:06:16.955
But i had to have some kind of preparation, and the only thing
00:06:17.022 --> 00:06:17.722
Kind of preparation, and the only thing that i knew to do was
00:06:17.789 --> 00:06:19.257
And the only thing that i knew to do was to spend time studying.
00:06:19.324 --> 00:06:21.693
That i knew to do was to spend time studying. well, workin' a full-time,
00:06:21.760 --> 00:06:23.128
To spend time studying. well, workin' a full-time, and comin' home,
00:06:23.195 --> 00:06:24.329
Well, workin' a full-time, and comin' home, and doin' all the housework,
00:06:24.396 --> 00:06:25.464
And comin' home, and doin' all the housework, and grocery shoppin',
00:06:25.530 --> 00:06:26.498
And doin' all the housework, and grocery shoppin', and doin' all those things,
00:06:26.565 --> 00:06:27.432
And grocery shoppin', and doin' all those things, i didn't have time to study.
00:06:27.499 --> 00:06:29.234
And doin' all those things, i didn't have time to study. so, i started feeling like
00:06:29.301 --> 00:06:30.435
I didn't have time to study. so, i started feeling like god wanted me to quit
00:06:30.502 --> 00:06:31.536
So, i started feeling like god wanted me to quit my full-time job,
00:06:31.603 --> 00:06:32.771
God wanted me to quit my full-time job, where i made good money,
00:06:32.838 --> 00:06:34.539
My full-time job, where i made good money, and trust him to take
00:06:34.606 --> 00:06:36.675
Where i made good money, and trust him to take care of us.
00:06:36.741 --> 00:06:38.143
And trust him to take care of us. but there was a little,
00:06:38.210 --> 00:06:38.877
Care of us. but there was a little, teeny, tiny problem,
00:06:38.944 --> 00:06:40.612
But there was a little, teeny, tiny problem, our bills were more
00:06:40.679 --> 00:06:41.613
Teeny, tiny problem, our bills were more than our income.
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:42.614
Our bills were more than our income. so, every month we were
00:06:42.681 --> 00:06:43.815
Than our income. so, every month we were going to need a miracle.
00:06:43.882 --> 00:06:45.283
So, every month we were going to need a miracle. i wonder if there's anybody
00:06:45.350 --> 00:06:46.518
Going to need a miracle. i wonder if there's anybody watching right now that
00:06:46.585 --> 00:06:47.819
I wonder if there's anybody watching right now that every month, you need a miracle,
00:06:47.886 --> 00:06:50.989
Watching right now that every month, you need a miracle, just to pay your bills.
00:06:51.056 --> 00:06:52.958
Every month, you need a miracle, just to pay your bills. well, you know,
00:06:53.024 --> 00:06:54.059
Just to pay your bills. well, you know, it was frightening for me.
00:06:54.125 --> 00:06:56.495
Well, you know, it was frightening for me. and i remember the first
00:06:56.561 --> 00:06:58.463
It was frightening for me. and i remember the first monday when--came around
00:06:58.530 --> 00:07:00.265
And i remember the first monday when--came around and i didn't have a job,
00:07:00.332 --> 00:07:01.700
Monday when--came around and i didn't have a job, i wasn't working anymore.
00:07:01.766 --> 00:07:03.068
And i didn't have a job, i wasn't working anymore. i remember walking down
00:07:03.134 --> 00:07:05.670
I wasn't working anymore. i remember walking down the hallway in my house,
00:07:05.737 --> 00:07:06.938
I remember walking down the hallway in my house, and i was so frightened
00:07:07.005 --> 00:07:08.740
The hallway in my house, and i was so frightened that my--i felt like my knees
00:07:08.807 --> 00:07:10.542
And i was so frightened that my--i felt like my knees were going to buckle under me.
00:07:10.609 --> 00:07:14.412
That my--i felt like my knees were going to buckle under me. and god spoke to my heart
00:07:14.479 --> 00:07:15.447
Were going to buckle under me. and god spoke to my heart and he said, "you can do this
00:07:15.514 --> 00:07:16.915
And god spoke to my heart and he said, "you can do this two ways: you can be afraid
00:07:16.982 --> 00:07:18.517
And he said, "you can do this two ways: you can be afraid all the time, or you can trust
00:07:18.583 --> 00:07:20.585
Two ways: you can be afraid all the time, or you can trust me for miracles."
00:07:20.652 --> 00:07:22.988
All the time, or you can trust me for miracles." and i decided right then that
00:07:23.054 --> 00:07:24.289
Me for miracles." and i decided right then that i didn't want to live in fear,
00:07:24.356 --> 00:07:25.924
And i decided right then that i didn't want to live in fear, because you know,
00:07:25.991 --> 00:07:26.558
I didn't want to live in fear, because you know, if you just keep letting
00:07:26.625 --> 00:07:28.193
Because you know, if you just keep letting fear go on and on,
00:07:28.260 --> 00:07:29.027
If you just keep letting fear go on and on, you know what i would
00:07:29.094 --> 00:07:29.794
Fear go on and on, you know what i would have done?
00:07:29.861 --> 00:07:30.428
You know what i would have done? i would have ended
00:07:30.495 --> 00:07:31.062
Have done? i would have ended up finding a job
00:07:31.129 --> 00:07:31.830
I would have ended up finding a job and going back to work.
00:07:31.897 --> 00:07:34.132
Up finding a job and going back to work. so, i needed to stay in
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:35.333
And going back to work. so, i needed to stay in that position of faith,
00:07:35.400 --> 00:07:37.302
So, i needed to stay in that position of faith, and i needed to expect
00:07:37.369 --> 00:07:38.537
That position of faith, and i needed to expect god to take care of us.
00:07:38.603 --> 00:07:40.639
And i needed to expect god to take care of us. but most of my life,
00:07:40.705 --> 00:07:44.009
God to take care of us. but most of my life, i had kinda felt
00:07:44.075 --> 00:07:45.410
But most of my life, i had kinda felt in my atmosphere around me--
00:07:45.477 --> 00:07:47.445
I had kinda felt in my atmosphere around me-- some of you are gonna
00:07:47.512 --> 00:07:48.313
In my atmosphere around me-- some of you are gonna really get this and understand,
00:07:48.380 --> 00:07:50.482
Some of you are gonna really get this and understand, just something kind
00:07:50.549 --> 00:07:52.050
Really get this and understand, just something kind of tormenting,
00:07:52.117 --> 00:07:53.018
Just something kind of tormenting, i didn't even really
00:07:53.084 --> 00:07:53.785
Of tormenting, i didn't even really know what it was.
00:07:53.852 --> 00:07:55.387
I didn't even really know what it was. but one morning,
00:07:55.453 --> 00:07:55.987
Know what it was. but one morning, i was looking in the mirror
00:07:56.054 --> 00:07:56.855
But one morning, i was looking in the mirror puttin' on my makeup,
00:07:56.922 --> 00:07:57.889
I was looking in the mirror puttin' on my makeup, and gettin' ready to go to work,
00:07:57.956 --> 00:07:59.558
Puttin' on my makeup, and gettin' ready to go to work, this was before i'd quit my job.
00:07:59.624 --> 00:08:01.059
And gettin' ready to go to work, this was before i'd quit my job. and i just said to god,
00:08:01.126 --> 00:08:04.930
This was before i'd quit my job. and i just said to god, "what is this?
00:08:04.996 --> 00:08:06.331
And i just said to god, "what is this? what is this thing that
00:08:06.398 --> 00:08:07.799
"what is this? what is this thing that i feel all the time?"
00:08:07.866 --> 00:08:09.167
What is this thing that i feel all the time?" it just--it made me feel
00:08:09.234 --> 00:08:10.502
I feel all the time?" it just--it made me feel threatened and i didn't even
00:08:10.569 --> 00:08:12.003
It just--it made me feel threatened and i didn't even really know what it was.
00:08:12.070 --> 00:08:13.204
Threatened and i didn't even really know what it was. and he spoke to my heart,
00:08:13.271 --> 00:08:14.439
Really know what it was. and he spoke to my heart, "evil forebodings."
00:08:14.506 --> 00:08:15.707
And he spoke to my heart, "evil forebodings." well, i'd never heard that term.
00:08:15.774 --> 00:08:17.842
"evil forebodings." well, i'd never heard that term. i didn't even really
00:08:17.909 --> 00:08:18.543
Well, i'd never heard that term. i didn't even really know what it was.
00:08:18.610 --> 00:08:19.811
But there is a scripture
00:08:20.712 --> 00:08:21.746
But there is a scripture in proverbs 15:15,
00:08:21.813 --> 00:08:23.415
But there is a scripture in proverbs 15:15, in the amplified, that says,
00:08:23.481 --> 00:08:25.450
In proverbs 15:15, in the amplified, that says, "all the days of the desponding
00:08:25.517 --> 00:08:27.519
In the amplified, that says, "all the days of the desponding and the afflicted are made evil
00:08:27.586 --> 00:08:30.555
"all the days of the desponding and the afflicted are made evil [by anxious thoughts
00:08:30.622 --> 00:08:32.424
And the afflicted are made evil [by anxious thoughts and forebodings]."
00:08:32.490 --> 00:08:34.459
[by anxious thoughts and forebodings]." there it is, right in the bible.
00:08:34.526 --> 00:08:36.661
And forebodings]." there it is, right in the bible. miserable days are made
00:08:36.728 --> 00:08:37.896
There it is, right in the bible. miserable days are made miserable by expecting
00:08:37.963 --> 00:08:39.164
Miserable days are made miserable by expecting bad things to happen to you.
00:08:39.230 --> 00:08:41.433
Miserable by expecting bad things to happen to you. "but he who has a glad heart,
00:08:41.499 --> 00:08:44.569
Bad things to happen to you. "but he who has a glad heart, has a continual feast
00:08:44.636 --> 00:08:46.671
"but he who has a glad heart, has a continual feast [regardless of his
00:08:46.738 --> 00:08:47.806
Has a continual feast [regardless of his circumstances]."
00:08:47.872 --> 00:08:49.274
[regardless of his circumstances]." the joy of the lord
00:08:49.341 --> 00:08:50.008
Circumstances]." the joy of the lord is our strength!
00:08:50.075 --> 00:08:52.444
The joy of the lord is our strength! and we can have,
00:08:52.510 --> 00:08:53.144
Is our strength! and we can have, the bible says, "joy unspeakable
00:08:53.211 --> 00:08:55.547
And we can have, the bible says, "joy unspeakable and full of glory."
00:08:55.614 --> 00:08:56.481
The bible says, "joy unspeakable and full of glory." "the peace that passes
00:08:56.548 --> 00:08:57.916
And full of glory." "the peace that passes understanding."
00:08:57.983 --> 00:08:58.883
"the peace that passes understanding." in other words,
00:08:58.950 --> 00:08:59.551
Understanding." in other words, you can have all kinds
00:08:59.618 --> 00:09:00.685
In other words, you can have all kinds of situations in your life,
00:09:00.752 --> 00:09:02.454
You can have all kinds of situations in your life, and still enjoy.
00:09:02.520 --> 00:09:04.689
I always say, "enjoy where
00:09:04.756 --> 00:09:05.890
I always say, "enjoy where you're at on the way
00:09:05.957 --> 00:09:06.625
I always say, "enjoy where you're at on the way to where you're going."
00:09:06.691 --> 00:09:07.726
You're at on the way to where you're going." there's probably nobody
00:09:07.792 --> 00:09:08.493
To where you're going." there's probably nobody watching right now,
00:09:08.560 --> 00:09:09.794
There's probably nobody watching right now, whose life is exactly
00:09:09.861 --> 00:09:11.062
Watching right now, whose life is exactly the way you want it to be,
00:09:11.129 --> 00:09:12.130
Whose life is exactly the way you want it to be, we're all believing
00:09:12.197 --> 00:09:12.931
The way you want it to be, we're all believing for something.
00:09:12.998 --> 00:09:13.932
We're all believing for something. but we don't wanna get
00:09:13.999 --> 00:09:15.133
For something. but we don't wanna get so caught up in reaching
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:16.301
But we don't wanna get so caught up in reaching the destination that we don't
00:09:16.368 --> 00:09:17.969
So caught up in reaching the destination that we don't enjoy the journey.

00:09:31.349 --> 00:09:32.384

I love this. i don't see that i can
00:10:36.181 --> 00:10:36.981
I love this. i don't see that i can put it any plainer.
00:10:37.048 --> 00:10:40.552
I don't see that i can put it any plainer. proverbs 1:33 says,
00:10:40.618 --> 00:10:43.321
Put it any plainer. proverbs 1:33 says, "whoever hearkens to me [wisdom]
00:10:43.388 --> 00:10:44.589
Proverbs 1:33 says, "whoever hearkens to me [wisdom] shall dwell securely
00:10:44.656 --> 00:10:47.425
"whoever hearkens to me [wisdom] shall dwell securely and in confident trust
00:10:47.492 --> 00:10:48.927
Shall dwell securely and in confident trust and shall be quiet,
00:10:48.993 --> 00:10:51.129
And in confident trust and shall be quiet, without fear or dread of evil."
00:10:51.196 --> 00:10:53.665
And shall be quiet, without fear or dread of evil." so, say right now,
00:10:53.732 --> 00:10:55.066
Without fear or dread of evil." so, say right now, wherever you're at,
00:10:55.133 --> 00:10:56.234
So, say right now, wherever you're at, "i will fear, no evil.
00:10:56.301 --> 00:10:58.737
I will fear no evil."
00:10:58.803 --> 00:11:01.539
I will fear no evil." now, the next thing i'd like
00:11:01.606 --> 00:11:03.241
I will fear no evil." now, the next thing i'd like to talk to you about
00:11:03.308 --> 00:11:03.975
Now, the next thing i'd like to talk to you about is the fear of rejection.
00:11:04.042 --> 00:11:05.877
To talk to you about is the fear of rejection. and you know,
00:11:05.944 --> 00:11:07.412
Is the fear of rejection. and you know, this is a biggie for me.
00:11:07.479 --> 00:11:10.215
And you know, this is a biggie for me. you know, first of all,
00:11:10.281 --> 00:11:11.516
This is a biggie for me. you know, first of all, jesus was rejected.
00:11:11.583 --> 00:11:14.819
You know, first of all, jesus was rejected. now, he said,
00:11:14.886 --> 00:11:15.520
Jesus was rejected. now, he said, "if they rejected me,
00:11:15.587 --> 00:11:16.387
Now, he said, "if they rejected me, they're gonna reject you."
00:11:16.454 --> 00:11:18.823
"if they rejected me, they're gonna reject you." there's no way that you're
00:11:18.890 --> 00:11:19.891
They're gonna reject you." there's no way that you're gonna make it through
00:11:19.958 --> 00:11:20.525
There's no way that you're gonna make it through life and never be rejected.
00:11:20.592 --> 00:11:21.826
Gonna make it through life and never be rejected. and when we feel rejected,
00:11:21.893 --> 00:11:24.562
Life and never be rejected. and when we feel rejected, that's the opposite
00:11:24.629 --> 00:11:25.330
And when we feel rejected, that's the opposite of being accepted,
00:11:25.396 --> 00:11:26.197
That's the opposite of being accepted, and we all want acceptance.
00:11:26.264 --> 00:11:28.399
We all want to be included.
00:11:29.167 --> 00:11:32.570
We all want to be included. we all want to be liked,
00:11:32.637 --> 00:11:34.372
We all want to be included. we all want to be liked, and to be admired,
00:11:34.439 --> 00:11:35.774
We all want to be liked, and to be admired, and we wanna be part of.
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.444
And to be admired, and we wanna be part of. but when someone rejects you,
00:11:39.511 --> 00:11:41.179
And we wanna be part of. but when someone rejects you, it makes you feel like there's
00:11:41.246 --> 00:11:43.548
But when someone rejects you, it makes you feel like there's something wrong with you,
00:11:43.615 --> 00:11:45.116
That causes them
00:11:45.183 --> 00:11:46.184
That causes them not to want you.
00:11:46.251 --> 00:11:49.487
That causes them not to want you. how many times are children
00:11:49.554 --> 00:11:53.158
Not to want you. how many times are children who've been adopted,
00:11:53.224 --> 00:11:55.960
How many times are children who've been adopted, tormented a large
00:11:56.027 --> 00:11:56.928
Who've been adopted, tormented a large majority of their life,
00:11:56.995 --> 00:11:57.896
Tormented a large majority of their life, because they wonder
00:11:57.962 --> 00:12:00.431
Majority of their life, because they wonder what was wrong with them,
00:12:00.498 --> 00:12:01.599
Because they wonder what was wrong with them, that their parents
00:12:01.666 --> 00:12:02.467
What was wrong with them, that their parents didn't keep them?
00:12:02.534 --> 00:12:04.135
That their parents didn't keep them? and you shouldn't
00:12:04.202 --> 00:12:07.238
Didn't keep them? and you shouldn't believe like that,
00:12:07.305 --> 00:12:07.906
And you shouldn't believe like that, you shouldn't live like that,
00:12:07.972 --> 00:12:09.007
Believe like that, you shouldn't live like that, because your parents may
00:12:09.073 --> 00:12:10.942
You shouldn't live like that, because your parents may have had no other choice,
00:12:11.009 --> 00:12:12.143
Because your parents may have had no other choice, or maybe they had problems,
00:12:12.210 --> 00:12:13.878
Have had no other choice, or maybe they had problems, but that didn't mean that there
00:12:13.945 --> 00:12:14.813
Or maybe they had problems, but that didn't mean that there was anything wrong with you.
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:16.848
But that didn't mean that there was anything wrong with you. i know my father
00:12:16.915 --> 00:12:17.615
Was anything wrong with you. i know my father sexually abused me,
00:12:17.682 --> 00:12:18.550
I know my father sexually abused me, and for years i thought,
00:12:18.616 --> 00:12:19.450
Sexually abused me, and for years i thought, "what's wrong with me?
00:12:19.517 --> 00:12:20.084
And for years i thought, "what's wrong with me? what's wrong with me?
00:12:20.151 --> 00:12:20.752
"what's wrong with me? what's wrong with me? what's wrong with me?
00:12:20.819 --> 00:12:21.386
What's wrong with me? what's wrong with me? what's wrong with me?"
00:12:21.452 --> 00:12:22.921
What's wrong with me? what's wrong with me?" but there wasn't
00:12:22.987 --> 00:12:23.588
What's wrong with me?" but there wasn't anything wrong with me,
00:12:23.655 --> 00:12:24.422
But there wasn't anything wrong with me, i was just a little child.
00:12:24.489 --> 00:12:25.757
Anything wrong with me, i was just a little child. my father was the one
00:12:25.824 --> 00:12:27.091
I was just a little child. my father was the one who had the problem.
00:12:27.158 --> 00:12:29.427
My father was the one who had the problem. he was sick.
00:12:29.494 --> 00:12:32.096
Who had the problem. he was sick. he was doing the wrong thing.
00:12:32.163 --> 00:12:34.999
He was sick. he was doing the wrong thing. so, just because somebody
00:12:35.066 --> 00:12:35.967
He was doing the wrong thing. so, just because somebody doesn't like you,
00:12:36.034 --> 00:12:37.502
So, just because somebody doesn't like you, or they reject you,
00:12:37.569 --> 00:12:38.603
Doesn't like you, or they reject you, or they don't invite
00:12:38.670 --> 00:12:39.671
Or they reject you, or they don't invite you to the party,
00:12:39.737 --> 00:12:40.471
Or they don't invite you to the party, don't let that make you feel
00:12:40.538 --> 00:12:41.840
You to the party, don't let that make you feel like there's something
00:12:41.906 --> 00:12:42.707
Don't let that make you feel like there's something wrong with you.
00:12:42.774 --> 00:12:44.475
Like there's something wrong with you. maybe they're just missing
00:12:44.542 --> 00:12:45.243
Wrong with you. maybe they're just missing a great opportunity to know you,
00:12:45.310 --> 00:12:47.345
Maybe they're just missing a great opportunity to know you, and they just haven't
00:12:47.412 --> 00:12:47.979
A great opportunity to know you, and they just haven't realized it yet.
00:12:48.046 --> 00:12:50.415
And they just haven't realized it yet. jesus was rejected
00:12:50.481 --> 00:12:52.450
Realized it yet. jesus was rejected by his own brothers.
00:12:52.517 --> 00:12:53.718
They thought he was a madman,
00:12:54.219 --> 00:12:57.655
They thought he was a madman, and they wanted him
00:12:57.722 --> 00:12:58.489
They thought he was a madman, and they wanted him to do miracles
00:12:58.556 --> 00:13:00.091
And they wanted him to do miracles to prove who he was.
00:13:00.158 --> 00:13:03.394
To do miracles to prove who he was. so, he was rejected by family.
00:13:03.461 --> 00:13:06.998
Everywhere jesus went there
00:13:07.065 --> 00:13:08.333
Everywhere jesus went there was some who accepted him,
00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:10.001
Everywhere jesus went there was some who accepted him, but many who rejected him.
00:13:10.068 --> 00:13:12.070
Was some who accepted him, but many who rejected him. the religious leaders
00:13:12.136 --> 00:13:13.104
But many who rejected him. the religious leaders of the day rejected him.
00:13:13.171 --> 00:13:14.873
The religious leaders of the day rejected him. the government leaders
00:13:14.939 --> 00:13:16.040
Of the day rejected him. the government leaders rejected him.
00:13:16.107 --> 00:13:16.875
The government leaders rejected him. pilate rejected him,
00:13:16.941 --> 00:13:18.142
Rejected him. pilate rejected him, herod rejected him.
00:13:18.209 --> 00:13:20.445
And even when he was
00:13:20.511 --> 00:13:21.312
And even when he was at his hour of greatest need,
00:13:21.379 --> 00:13:24.315
And even when he was at his hour of greatest need, in the garden of gethsemane
00:13:24.382 --> 00:13:25.483
At his hour of greatest need, in the garden of gethsemane when he just
00:13:25.550 --> 00:13:26.117
In the garden of gethsemane when he just needed his disciples,
00:13:26.184 --> 00:13:27.952
When he just needed his disciples, who he had given his life to,
00:13:28.019 --> 00:13:29.787
Needed his disciples, who he had given his life to, to pray with him for one hour,
00:13:29.854 --> 00:13:31.656
Who he had given his life to, to pray with him for one hour, they fell asleep.
00:13:31.723 --> 00:13:32.824
To pray with him for one hour, they fell asleep. i'm sure that felt
00:13:32.891 --> 00:13:33.658
They fell asleep. i'm sure that felt like rejection.
00:13:33.725 --> 00:13:36.261
I'm sure that felt like rejection. and then when
00:13:36.327 --> 00:13:37.028
Like rejection. and then when he was being questioned
00:13:37.095 --> 00:13:39.030
And then when he was being questioned by the government leaders,
00:13:39.097 --> 00:13:40.531
He was being questioned by the government leaders, peter denied even knowing
00:13:40.598 --> 00:13:42.100
By the government leaders, peter denied even knowing him and he was close to peter.
00:13:42.166 --> 00:13:45.036
Peter denied even knowing him and he was close to peter. "i don't even know him.
00:13:45.103 --> 00:13:46.371
Him and he was close to peter. "i don't even know him. i don't know him!"
00:13:46.437 --> 00:13:48.406
"i don't even know him. i don't know him!" well, i know for a fact because
00:13:48.473 --> 00:13:51.309
Of looking at my own life,
00:13:51.376 --> 00:13:52.343
Of looking at my own life, that satan uses rejection,
00:13:52.410 --> 00:13:54.913
Of looking at my own life, that satan uses rejection, the pain of rejection.
00:13:54.979 --> 00:13:57.115
That satan uses rejection, the pain of rejection. which i just read yesterday
00:13:57.181 --> 00:13:59.550
The pain of rejection. which i just read yesterday that doctors have concluded
00:13:59.617 --> 00:14:03.054
Which i just read yesterday that doctors have concluded that if you look at an mri,
00:14:03.121 --> 00:14:06.291
That doctors have concluded that if you look at an mri, the part of your brain
00:14:06.357 --> 00:14:07.425
That if you look at an mri, the part of your brain that lights up when
00:14:07.492 --> 00:14:08.259
The part of your brain that lights up when you're in physical pain,
00:14:08.326 --> 00:14:10.328
That lights up when you're in physical pain, it shows the same thing
00:14:10.395 --> 00:14:12.163
You're in physical pain, it shows the same thing when you're rejected
00:14:12.230 --> 00:14:13.865
It shows the same thing when you're rejected as it does if you're being
00:14:13.932 --> 00:14:14.999
When you're rejected as it does if you're being physically hurt.
00:14:15.066 --> 00:14:16.367
As it does if you're being physically hurt. so, emotional pain--i think
00:14:16.434 --> 00:14:18.503
Physically hurt. so, emotional pain--i think sometimes emotional
00:14:18.569 --> 00:14:19.704
So, emotional pain--i think sometimes emotional pain is even more difficult
00:14:19.771 --> 00:14:23.708
Sometimes emotional pain is even more difficult than physical pain.
00:14:23.775 --> 00:14:25.643
Pain is even more difficult than physical pain. so, yes, i know what
00:14:25.710 --> 00:14:26.778

It's like to be rejected, and i know many of you do too. maybe you've had a spouse
00:14:30.615 --> 00:14:32.050
And i know many of you do too. maybe you've had a spouse walk off and leave you.
00:14:32.116 --> 00:14:35.420
Maybe you've had a spouse walk off and leave you. maybe somebody you were
00:14:35.486 --> 00:14:36.754
Walk off and leave you. maybe somebody you were dating broke up with you,
00:14:36.821 --> 00:14:38.056
Maybe somebody you were dating broke up with you, and first thing you think is,
00:14:38.122 --> 00:14:40.591
Dating broke up with you, and first thing you think is, "what's wrong with me?"

00:14:43.161 --> 00:14:44.295
Maybe you were turned down for a promotion at work, or you didn't get the job
00:14:44.362 --> 00:14:46.197
For a promotion at work, or you didn't get the job that you applied for.
00:14:46.264 --> 00:14:48.766
Or you didn't get the job that you applied for. for no reason,
00:14:48.833 --> 00:14:49.400
That you applied for. for no reason, you were the only one
00:14:49.467 --> 00:14:50.134
For no reason, you were the only one you know that wasn't
00:14:50.201 --> 00:14:51.002
You were the only one you know that wasn't invited to the party.
00:14:51.069 --> 00:14:52.136
You know that wasn't invited to the party. i mean, there's all kinds
00:14:52.203 --> 00:14:53.404
Invited to the party. i mean, there's all kinds of ways that we can
00:14:53.471 --> 00:14:55.039
I mean, there's all kinds of ways that we can feel rejection.
00:14:55.106 --> 00:14:58.276
Of ways that we can feel rejection. but really try to stop thinking:
00:14:58.343 --> 00:15:00.144
Feel rejection. but really try to stop thinking: what's wrong with me?
00:15:00.211 --> 00:15:00.945
But really try to stop thinking: what's wrong with me? what's wrong with me?
00:15:01.012 --> 00:15:01.579
What's wrong with me? what's wrong with me? what's wrong with me?
00:15:01.646 --> 00:15:02.914
What's wrong with me? what's wrong with me? i mean, you can ask god,
00:15:02.981 --> 00:15:04.282
What's wrong with me? i mean, you can ask god, "if there's a reason,
00:15:04.349 --> 00:15:06.617
I mean, you can ask god, "if there's a reason, if there's something i need
00:15:06.684 --> 00:15:07.752
"if there's a reason, if there's something i need to know that i don't know,
00:15:07.819 --> 00:15:09.320
If there's something i need to know that i don't know, then show it to me."
00:15:09.387 --> 00:15:11.422
To know that i don't know, then show it to me." but don't be going around
00:15:11.489 --> 00:15:12.757
Then show it to me." but don't be going around just feeling like there's
00:15:12.824 --> 00:15:13.624
But don't be going around just feeling like there's something wrong with you,
00:15:13.691 --> 00:15:14.759
Just feeling like there's something wrong with you, because everybody
00:15:14.826 --> 00:15:15.626
Something wrong with you, because everybody is not clappin' and cheering
00:15:15.693 --> 00:15:16.794
Because everybody is not clappin' and cheering for you.
00:15:16.861 --> 00:15:18.062
Is not clappin' and cheering for you. i read that 10% of all people
00:15:18.129 --> 00:15:19.864
For you. i read that 10% of all people won't like you no matter
00:15:19.931 --> 00:15:20.732
I read that 10% of all people won't like you no matter who you are, or what you do.
00:15:20.798 --> 00:15:23.368
Won't like you no matter who you are, or what you do. so, i finally had to face
00:15:23.434 --> 00:15:24.535
Who you are, or what you do. so, i finally had to face the fact to be happy about
00:15:24.602 --> 00:15:25.837
So, i finally had to face the fact to be happy about the 90% and stop worrying
00:15:25.903 --> 00:15:27.705
The fact to be happy about the 90% and stop worrying about the 10%.
00:15:27.772 --> 00:15:30.608
When jesus sent
00:15:30.675 --> 00:15:31.376
When jesus sent his disciples out,
00:15:31.442 --> 00:15:34.145
When jesus sent his disciples out, he sent 70 of 'em out
00:15:34.212 --> 00:15:35.880
His disciples out, he sent 70 of 'em out in pairs of two,
00:15:35.947 --> 00:15:37.749
He sent 70 of 'em out in pairs of two, to go out and preach the gospel,
00:15:37.815 --> 00:15:39.117
In pairs of two, to go out and preach the gospel, and to heal the sick,
00:15:39.183 --> 00:15:41.019
To go out and preach the gospel, and to heal the sick, cast out devils.
00:15:41.085 --> 00:15:42.020
And to heal the sick, cast out devils. he told them,
00:15:42.086 --> 00:15:42.920
Cast out devils. he told them, "when you go into a town,
00:15:42.987 --> 00:15:45.857
He told them, "when you go into a town, find a house where you can stay
00:15:45.923 --> 00:15:47.525
"when you go into a town, find a house where you can stay and if your peace will remain
00:15:47.592 --> 00:15:50.194
Find a house where you can stay and if your peace will remain there you can stay there."
00:15:50.261 --> 00:15:51.229
And if your peace will remain there you can stay there." but, he said,
00:15:51.295 --> 00:15:51.863
There you can stay there." but, he said, "if they reject you,
00:15:51.929 --> 00:15:55.199
But, he said, "if they reject you, or if they don't want to receive
00:15:55.266 --> 00:15:56.634
"if they reject you, or if they don't want to receive you and welcome your message,
00:15:56.701 --> 00:15:58.136
Or if they don't want to receive you and welcome your message, then shake the dust
00:15:58.202 --> 00:15:59.604
You and welcome your message, then shake the dust off your feet,
00:15:59.670 --> 00:16:00.238
Then shake the dust off your feet, and go on to the next town."
00:16:00.304 --> 00:16:02.740
Off your feet, and go on to the next town." and you know what?
00:16:02.807 --> 00:16:03.374
And go on to the next town." and you know what? some of you are hurting
00:16:03.441 --> 00:16:06.544
Emotionally because you
00:16:06.611 --> 00:16:08.713
Emotionally because you have experienced a painful
00:16:08.780 --> 00:16:11.482
Emotionally because you have experienced a painful rejection in your life.
00:16:11.549 --> 00:16:13.618
Have experienced a painful rejection in your life. it may have been 10 years ago,
00:16:13.684 --> 00:16:15.086
Rejection in your life. it may have been 10 years ago, it may have been yesterday.
00:16:15.153 --> 00:16:17.088
It may have been 10 years ago, it may have been yesterday. and god is saying to you
00:16:17.155 --> 00:16:18.289
It may have been yesterday. and god is saying to you right now, "shake it off!"
00:16:18.356 --> 00:16:21.626
And god is saying to you right now, "shake it off!" don't let it just keep
00:16:21.692 --> 00:16:22.393
Right now, "shake it off!" don't let it just keep dragging you down, down,
00:16:22.460 --> 00:16:23.594
Don't let it just keep dragging you down, down, down, down, and further down.
00:16:23.661 --> 00:16:25.163
Dragging you down, down, down, down, and further down. and don't listen to that
00:16:25.229 --> 00:16:27.298
Down, down, and further down. and don't listen to that message that the enemy
00:16:27.365 --> 00:16:28.566
And don't listen to that message that the enemy plays for you ceaselessly,
00:16:28.633 --> 00:16:30.334
Message that the enemy plays for you ceaselessly, "what's wrong with me?
00:16:30.401 --> 00:16:30.968
Plays for you ceaselessly, "what's wrong with me? what's wrong with me?
00:16:31.035 --> 00:16:31.602
"what's wrong with me? what's wrong with me? what's wrong with me?"
00:16:31.669 --> 00:16:34.138
What's wrong with me? what's wrong with me?" jesus took our sin.
00:16:34.205 --> 00:16:37.275
And you might say
00:16:37.341 --> 00:16:37.842
And you might say he took our wrongness,
00:16:37.909 --> 00:16:38.910
And you might say he took our wrongness, and he gave us his rightness.
00:16:38.976 --> 00:16:41.712
He took our wrongness, and he gave us his rightness. 2 corinthians 5:21 says,
00:16:41.779 --> 00:16:43.414
And he gave us his rightness. 2 corinthians 5:21 says, "he that knew no sin,
00:16:43.481 --> 00:16:44.415
2 corinthians 5:21 says, "he that knew no sin, became sin, that we might
00:16:44.482 --> 00:16:46.250
"he that knew no sin, became sin, that we might be made the righteousness
00:16:46.317 --> 00:16:47.552
Became sin, that we might be made the righteousness of god in christ."
00:16:47.618 --> 00:16:49.153
Be made the righteousness of god in christ." so, it's very interesting to me,
00:16:49.220 --> 00:16:52.323
And very beautiful that
00:16:52.390 --> 00:16:54.292
And very beautiful that the first thing after salvation
00:16:54.358 --> 00:16:56.260
And very beautiful that the first thing after salvation that god wants to give us,
00:16:56.327 --> 00:16:57.128
The first thing after salvation that god wants to give us, is his right-eousness.
00:16:57.195 --> 00:17:00.064
That god wants to give us, is his right-eousness. you know why?
00:17:00.131 --> 00:17:00.698
Is his right-eousness. you know why? because he understands that
00:17:00.765 --> 00:17:02.600
You know why? because he understands that the devil works overtime
00:17:02.667 --> 00:17:03.935
Because he understands that the devil works overtime trying to make us feel like,
00:17:04.001 --> 00:17:05.269
The devil works overtime trying to make us feel like, "what's wrong with me?"
00:17:05.336 --> 00:17:06.571
Trying to make us feel like, "what's wrong with me?" "i can't do what you do,
00:17:06.637 --> 00:17:07.538
"what's wrong with me?" "i can't do what you do, what's wrong with me?"
00:17:07.605 --> 00:17:08.673
"i can't do what you do, what's wrong with me?" "i don't look like you look,
00:17:08.739 --> 00:17:09.774
What's wrong with me?" "i don't look like you look, what's wrong with me?"
00:17:09.841 --> 00:17:11.209
"i don't look like you look, what's wrong with me?" "i weigh a few more
00:17:11.275 --> 00:17:12.043
What's wrong with me?" "i weigh a few more pounds than you do,
00:17:12.110 --> 00:17:12.810
"i weigh a few more pounds than you do, what's wrong with me?"
00:17:12.877 --> 00:17:14.579
Pounds than you do, what's wrong with me?" well, you know,
00:17:14.645 --> 00:17:15.246
What's wrong with me?" well, you know, there's things i can do.
00:17:15.313 --> 00:17:17.982
Well, you know, there's things i can do. but to be honest,
00:17:18.049 --> 00:17:18.683
There's things i can do. but to be honest, there's probably more things
00:17:18.749 --> 00:17:19.484
But to be honest, there's probably more things i can't do than things i can do.
00:17:19.550 --> 00:17:22.153
There's probably more things i can't do than things i can do. i'm a communicator.
00:17:22.220 --> 00:17:24.422
I can't do than things i can do. i'm a communicator. i can talk to people and speak

But i can't play a musical instrument. i can't sing.

A musical instrument. i can't sing. i don't read real fast,

I can't sing. i don't read real fast, but i know people who

I don't read real fast, but i know people who can read a book in a day,

But i know people who can read a book in a day, or on an airplane ride,

And it takes me a while to get through a book. i don't memorize the bible.
