00:10:58.481 --> 00:11:01.217
Sins but when we receive god's forgiveness, receiving it means that you take it and you let it

And he removes them as far as the east is from the west. you don't need to sit around
00:11:23.005 --> 00:11:24.306
And think about all the things
00:11:24.373 --> 00:11:26.142
And think about all the things that you did that were wrong.

And think about all the things that you did that were wrong. one of the things that came up
00:11:27.977 --> 00:11:29.078
That you did that were wrong. one of the things that came up several times today was "how
00:11:29.145 --> 00:11:32.114

00:11:36.018 --> 00:11:36.685
How do i get rid of this regret?" and, you know, i talk a lot
00:11:36.752 --> 00:11:38.587
Of this regret?" and, you know, i talk a lot about regret because my father,
00:11:38.654 --> 00:11:42.958
And, you know, i talk a lot about regret because my father, bless his heart, i mean, he's
00:11:43.025 --> 00:11:43.959
About regret because my father, bless his heart, i mean, he's gone home and i'm happy to say
00:11:44.026 --> 00:11:46.929
Bless his heart, i mean, he's gone home and i'm happy to say with the lord now, but he was 83
00:11:46.996 --> 00:11:50.199
Gone home and i'm happy to say with the lord now, but he was 83 before he gave his life to
00:11:50.266 --> 00:11:51.100
With the lord now, but he was 83 before he gave his life to christ and he was mean
00:11:51.167 --> 00:11:54.270
Before he gave his life to christ and he was mean and hateful and abusive.
00:11:54.336 --> 00:11:57.072
Christ and he was mean and hateful and abusive. and you know, when he died,
00:11:57.139 --> 00:11:58.841
And hateful and abusive. and you know, when he died, nobody really cared because he
00:11:58.908 --> 00:12:02.077
And you know, when he died, nobody really cared because he never really did anything
00:12:02.144 --> 00:12:03.479
Nobody really cared because he never really did anything for anybody.
00:12:03.546 --> 00:12:05.381
Never really did anything for anybody. we took care of him because we
00:12:05.447 --> 00:12:06.849
For anybody. we took care of him because we felt like it was what god wanted
00:12:06.916 --> 00:12:08.117
We took care of him because we felt like it was what god wanted us to do.
00:12:08.184 --> 00:12:09.251
And that ended up being
00:12:10.252 --> 00:12:11.220
And that ended up being a witness to him
00:12:11.287 --> 00:12:11.821
And that ended up being a witness to him and he did receive christ,
00:12:11.887 --> 00:12:12.922
A witness to him and he did receive christ, i think, as a result of
00:12:12.988 --> 00:12:14.590
And he did receive christ, i think, as a result of seeing god's unconditional love.
00:12:14.657 --> 00:12:17.693
I think, as a result of seeing god's unconditional love. but all--he died--
00:12:17.760 --> 00:12:18.694
Seeing god's unconditional love. but all--he died-- all he had, laying on his

And i just got this understanding that
00:25:04.492 --> 00:25:05.694
Understanding that the only thing that
00:25:05.760 --> 00:25:06.494
The only thing that is probably going to help
00:25:06.561 --> 00:25:07.495
Is probably going to help me with this is the lord.

You know, i still dealt with the rejection,
00:25:09.698 --> 00:25:10.398
With the rejection, but he took so much
00:25:10.465 --> 00:25:11.299
But he took so much of that away.

>> jacob: i wouldn't say after that night my relationship
00:25:47.836 --> 00:25:48.770
That night my relationship with god was perfect,
00:25:48.837 --> 00:25:49.571
With god was perfect, but i just had this
00:25:49.638 --> 00:25:50.372
But i just had this understanding of like,
00:25:50.438 --> 00:25:51.239
Understanding of like, he's there and he's watching me,
00:25:51.306 --> 00:25:52.941
He's there and he's watching me, and he loves me.
00:25:53.008 --> 00:25:53.608
And he loves me. and that's--i think that
00:25:53.675 --> 00:25:55.377
And that's--i think that was probably a huge part
00:25:55.443 --> 00:25:57.646
Was probably a huge part of what changed things.
00:25:57.712 --> 00:25:59.547
Of what changed things. >> todd: when someone
00:25:59.614 --> 00:26:00.448
>> todd: when someone offends me or rejects me,
00:26:00.515 --> 00:26:03.284
Offends me or rejects me, i can accept it now.
00:26:03.351 --> 00:26:04.319
I can accept it now. i can absorb that and still
00:26:04.386 --> 00:26:06.354
I can absorb that and still love that person.
00:26:06.421 --> 00:26:07.255
Love that person. >> jacob: so i think the enemy
00:26:07.322 --> 00:26:08.456
>> jacob: so i think the enemy wants to get us isolated,
00:26:08.523 --> 00:26:09.824
Wants to get us isolated, rejected from god,
00:26:09.891 --> 00:26:11.359
Rejected from god, and then we're cornered.
00:26:11.426 --> 00:26:14.396
And then we're cornered. then we have to try
00:26:14.462 --> 00:26:15.196
Then we have to try to figure it out ourself.
00:26:15.263 --> 00:26:16.031
To figure it out ourself. and ultimately the shame
00:26:16.097 --> 00:26:17.499
And ultimately the shame and everything just
00:26:17.565 --> 00:26:18.133
And everything just leads back to sin.
00:26:18.199 --> 00:26:19.167
Leads back to sin. he loves us immensely.
00:26:19.234 --> 00:26:20.068
He loves us immensely. he wants a relationship with us.
00:26:20.135 --> 00:26:21.636
He wants a relationship with us. >> lindsey: god has daily
00:26:21.703 --> 00:26:22.637
>> lindsey: god has daily molded me into who
00:26:22.704 --> 00:26:24.005
Molded me into who he wants me to be,
00:26:24.072 --> 00:26:25.573
He wants me to be, and going through pain
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:26.641
And going through pain of rejection has been
00:26:26.708 --> 00:26:28.043
Of rejection has been a huge part of that.
00:26:28.109 --> 00:26:29.711
A huge part of that. >> jacob: if anyone has dealt
00:26:29.778 --> 00:26:30.645
>> jacob: if anyone has dealt with rejection,
00:26:30.712 --> 00:26:31.813
With rejection, get hungry for the lord.
00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:33.081
Get hungry for the lord. seek him out at all costs,
00:26:33.148 --> 00:26:35.116
Seek him out at all costs, and the lord will heal
00:26:35.183 --> 00:26:36.818
And the lord will heal what's going on in your heart.
00:26:36.885 --> 00:26:38.453
What's going on in your heart. he'll heal the rejection.
00:26:38.520 --> 00:26:39.888
He'll heal the rejection. >> todd: [emotional]
00:26:39.954 --> 00:26:40.689
>> todd: [emotional] i'm so grateful that

00:26:41.423 --> 00:26:42.190
I went through all this, and this was my life,
00:26:42.257 --> 00:26:43.725
And this was my life, because i wouldn't know
00:26:43.792 --> 00:26:44.559
Because i wouldn't know christ like i do.
00:26:44.626 --> 00:26:47.462
Christ like i do. i mean, nobody can take
00:26:47.529 --> 00:26:49.798
I mean, nobody can take jesus away from me.
00:26:49.864 --> 00:26:51.666
Jesus away from me. i know he's real.
00:26:51.733 --> 00:26:53.568
I know he's real. i've lived it,
00:26:53.635 --> 00:26:54.703
I've lived it, and he's been with me every
00:26:54.769 --> 00:26:56.738
And he's been with me every step of the way.
