- Some of you may be have some really bad diseases, you've had a really bad
- 00:11:23.506 --> 00:11:24.173
- Some really bad diseases, you've had a really bad report from the doctor.
- 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:25.040
- You've had a really bad report from the doctor. so, i'm just gonna make
- 00:11:25.107 --> 00:11:25.941
- Report from the doctor. so, i'm just gonna make a blanket statement,
- 00:11:26.008 --> 00:11:26.876
- So, i'm just gonna make a blanket statement, if it doesn't fit you,
- 00:11:26.942 --> 00:11:27.843
- A blanket statement, if it doesn't fit you, then don't take it.
- 00:11:27.910 --> 00:11:29.245
- I believe that most of us can
- 00:11:29.678 --> 00:11:32.314
- I believe that most of us can make some very positive
- 00:11:32.381 --> 00:11:35.518
- I believe that most of us can make some very positive changes in our life that will
- 00:11:35.584 --> 00:11:37.253
- Make some very positive changes in our life that will help us to feel a lot better
- 00:11:37.319 --> 00:11:39.488
- Changes in our life that will help us to feel a lot better physically than what we do.
- 00:11:39.555 --> 00:11:42.191
- Help us to feel a lot better physically than what we do. amen?
- 00:11:42.258 --> 00:11:43.626
- Physically than what we do. amen? >> [audience applauding]
- 00:11:43.692 --> 00:11:44.560
- >> [music]
- 00:11:47.396 --> 00:11:56.572
- >> ginger: joyce, there are
- 00:11:58.107 --> 00:11:58.774
- >> ginger: joyce, there are so many people who are
- 00:11:58.841 --> 00:12:01.010
- So many people who are experiencing long-term
- 00:12:01.076 --> 00:12:02.945
- Experiencing long-term difficult sickness and illness
- 00:12:03.012 --> 00:12:05.748
- Difficult sickness and illness in their life.
- 00:12:05.815 --> 00:12:07.149
- In their life. and so, today in our
- 00:12:07.216 --> 00:12:08.717
- And so, today in our conversation, we wanna
- 00:12:08.784 --> 00:12:09.885
- Conversation, we wanna talk about things that might
- 00:12:09.952 --> 00:12:11.921
- Talk about things that might encourage them and any
- 00:12:11.987 --> 00:12:13.189
- Encourage them and any suggestions that we can have
- 00:12:13.255 --> 00:12:14.423
- Suggestions that we can have as they walk through that
- 00:12:14.490 --> 00:12:15.791
- As they walk through that really difficult time.
- 00:12:15.858 --> 00:12:17.293
- >> joyce: right.
- 00:12:17.359 --> 00:12:17.793
- >> joyce: right. >> ginger: you've had
- 00:12:17.860 --> 00:12:18.627
- >> ginger: you've had different things, you've dealt
- 00:12:18.694 --> 00:12:20.229
- Different things, you've dealt with cancer, you dealt with
- 00:12:20.296 --> 00:12:23.165
- With cancer, you dealt with the long-term time of forced
- 00:12:23.232 --> 00:12:25.768
- The long-term time of forced rest, because of severe illness.
- 00:12:25.835 --> 00:12:27.736
- Rest, because of severe illness. so what are some of the things
- 00:12:27.803 --> 00:12:29.104
- So what are some of the things that you learned through
- 00:12:29.171 --> 00:12:30.039
- That you learned through those times?
- 00:12:30.105 --> 00:12:31.373
- Those times? >> joyce: well, first of all,
- 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:34.276
- >> joyce: well, first of all, it's not easy to be sick and
- 00:12:34.343 --> 00:12:38.347
- It's not easy to be sick and feel bad because nobody else
- 00:12:38.414 --> 00:12:42.284
- Feel bad because nobody else really knows how you feel.
- 00:12:42.351 --> 00:12:43.986
- Really knows how you feel. so sometimes you feel
- 00:12:44.053 --> 00:12:45.321
- So sometimes you feel very alone in your pain.
- 00:12:45.387 --> 00:12:47.156
- Very alone in your pain. >> ginger: mmm, i never
- 00:12:47.223 --> 00:12:48.224
- >> ginger: mmm, i never considered that, yeah.
- 00:12:48.290 --> 00:12:49.191
- Considered that, yeah. >> joyce: even people that
- 00:12:49.258 --> 00:12:50.125
- >> joyce: even people that love you, now of course,
- 00:12:50.192 --> 00:12:51.594
- Love you, now of course, if somebody has experienced
- 00:12:51.660 --> 00:12:54.029
- If somebody has experienced a lot or enough sickness
- 00:12:54.096 --> 00:12:55.464
- A lot or enough sickness in their own life, then
- 00:12:55.531 --> 00:12:56.398
- In their own life, then they're able to have
- 00:12:56.465 --> 00:12:57.366
- They're able to have a little more empathy.
- 00:12:57.433 --> 00:12:58.367
- A little more empathy. but i found that a lot of times
- 00:12:58.434 --> 00:13:02.838
- But i found that a lot of times i felt alone, you know,
- 00:13:02.905 --> 00:13:04.840
- I felt alone, you know, that nobody but god
- 00:13:04.907 --> 00:13:06.408
- That nobody but god really understood.
- 00:13:06.475 --> 00:13:08.677
- Really understood. and it is difficult to not
- 00:13:08.744 --> 00:13:12.014
- And it is difficult to not give up or get depressed
- 00:13:12.081 --> 00:13:15.017
- Give up or get depressed and discouraged because,
- 00:13:15.084 --> 00:13:18.821
- And discouraged because, i mean, sickness is difficult
- 00:13:18.888 --> 00:13:20.356
- I mean, sickness is difficult if it's three days,
- 00:13:20.422 --> 00:13:21.290
- If it's three days, or if it's three years.
- 00:13:21.357 --> 00:13:23.792
- Or if it's three years. when you feel bad, i mean,
- 00:13:23.859 --> 00:13:27.663
- When you feel bad, i mean, even if you have a headache,
- 00:13:27.730 --> 00:13:28.797
- Even if you have a headache, it's like you just kind
- 00:13:28.864 --> 00:13:30.799
- It's like you just kind of feel bad all over.
- 00:13:30.866 --> 00:13:33.235
- Of feel bad all over. our body is put together
- 00:13:33.302 --> 00:13:35.104
- Our body is put together in such a way, if your little
- 00:13:35.170 --> 00:13:36.138
- In such a way, if your little finger hurts, your whole
- 00:13:36.205 --> 00:13:37.072
- Finger hurts, your whole body hurts.
- 00:13:37.139 --> 00:13:37.740
- Body hurts. >> ginger: yeah, that's true.
- 00:13:37.806 --> 00:13:38.507
- >> ginger: yeah, that's true. >> joyce: and your attention
- 00:13:38.574 --> 00:13:39.375
- >> joyce: and your attention is drawn to the part that hurts.
- 00:13:39.441 --> 00:13:40.910
- Is drawn to the part that hurts. >> ginger: yes.
- 00:13:40.976 --> 00:13:41.477
- >> joyce: and so, for example,
- 00:13:42.177 --> 00:13:42.978
- >> joyce: and so, for example, for ten years i had
- 00:13:43.045 --> 00:13:43.712
- For ten years i had migraine headaches.
- 00:13:43.779 --> 00:13:45.147
- Migraine headaches. now, i only had them once
- 00:13:45.214 --> 00:13:47.283
- Now, i only had them once a month because it was
- 00:13:47.349 --> 00:13:48.183
- A month because it was related to my cycle.
- 00:13:48.250 --> 00:13:50.753
- Related to my cycle. but, man, they hurt.
- 00:13:50.819 --> 00:13:54.223
- But, man, they hurt. and i would work and preach
- 00:13:54.290 --> 00:13:58.427
- And i would work and preach while i had them.
- 00:13:58.494 --> 00:13:59.795
- While i had them. but i was very prone to having
- 00:13:59.862 --> 00:14:01.196
- But i was very prone to having headaches, and that was hard.
- 00:14:01.263 --> 00:14:03.732
- Headaches, and that was hard. you know, you say to somebody,
- 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:04.667
- You know, you say to somebody, “i've got a headache,”
- 00:14:04.733 --> 00:14:05.434
- “i've got a headache,” and it's like,
- 00:14:05.501 --> 00:14:06.101
- And it's like, “oh, that's too bad,”
- 00:14:06.168 --> 00:14:06.735
- “oh, that's too bad,” and they go on about
- 00:14:06.802 --> 00:14:07.870
- And they go on about their business.
- 00:14:07.937 --> 00:14:08.837
- Their business. and you know, of course,
- 00:14:08.904 --> 00:14:09.571
- And you know, of course, when i had cancer,
- 00:14:09.638 --> 00:14:10.973
- When i had cancer, i had breast cancer and had
- 00:14:11.040 --> 00:14:12.908
- To have a mastectomy,
- 00:14:12.975 --> 00:14:14.143
- To have a mastectomy, and that was hard.
- 00:14:14.209 --> 00:14:16.645
- And that was hard. but the prognosis was good,
- 00:14:16.712 --> 00:14:19.848
- But the prognosis was good, so that made it easier.
- 00:14:19.915 --> 00:14:20.916
- So that made it easier. they got it all, and i didn't
- 00:14:20.983 --> 00:14:22.584
- They got it all, and i didn't have to take any chemo.
- 00:14:22.651 --> 00:14:23.652
- Have to take any chemo. i didn't have to take any
- 00:14:23.719 --> 00:14:24.653
- I didn't have to take any radiation because it had not
- 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:26.922
- Radiation because it had not gotten to my lymph nodes,
- 00:14:26.989 --> 00:14:28.857
- Gotten to my lymph nodes, but i still had to deal
- 00:14:28.924 --> 00:14:30.225
- But i still had to deal with all the trauma
- 00:14:30.292 --> 00:14:31.226
- With all the trauma of losing the breast.
- 00:14:31.293 --> 00:14:33.629
- Of losing the breast. and dealing with that, i did
- 00:14:33.696 --> 00:14:36.198
- And dealing with that, i did have a replacement surgery,
- 00:14:36.265 --> 00:14:37.533
- Have a replacement surgery, and even that was challenging.
- 00:14:37.599 --> 00:14:40.402
- And even that was challenging. and of course, once you've had
- 00:14:40.469 --> 00:14:42.338
- And of course, once you've had cancer, there's always that
- 00:14:42.404 --> 00:14:45.174
- Cancer, there's always that thing in the back of your mind,
- 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:47.343
- Thing in the back of your mind, is it gonna come back
- 00:14:47.409 --> 00:14:48.077
- Is it gonna come back somewhere else now?
- 00:14:48.143 --> 00:14:49.244
- Somewhere else now? i've had, i think, over
- 00:14:49.311 --> 00:14:51.113
- I've had, i think, over 30 years now of getting clear
- 00:14:51.180 --> 00:14:52.648
- 30 years now of getting clear mammograms every year,
- 00:14:52.715 --> 00:14:54.750
- Mammograms every year, and so i'm not afraid of that.
- 00:14:54.817 --> 00:14:58.620
- And so i'm not afraid of that. but in addition to that,
- 00:14:58.687 --> 00:15:00.422
- But in addition to that, i've had two hip replacements.
- 00:15:00.489 --> 00:15:02.024
- I've had two hip replacements. and it's amazing what all god
- 00:15:02.091 --> 00:15:05.894
- And it's amazing what all god can enable you to do,
- 00:15:05.961 --> 00:15:08.497
- Can enable you to do, if you just won't give up.
- 00:15:08.564 --> 00:15:11.066
- If you just won't give up. i mean, it really amazes me that
- 00:15:11.133 --> 00:15:12.868
- I mean, it really amazes me that i've continued to work
- 00:15:12.935 --> 00:15:13.936
- I've continued to work through everything.
- 00:15:14.003 --> 00:15:15.404
- Through everything. i haven't--i mean, i think i've
- 00:15:15.471 --> 00:15:17.439
- I haven't--i mean, i think i've only missed like one conference
- 00:15:17.506 --> 00:15:19.074
- Only missed like one conference in all the years that i've been
- 00:15:19.141 --> 00:15:22.144
- In all the years that i've been doing this, which is 45 years.
- 00:15:22.211 --> 00:15:24.013
- Doing this, which is 45 years. >> ginger: which is incredible.
- 00:15:24.079 --> 00:15:24.980
- >> ginger: which is incredible. >> joyce: which in itself
- 00:15:25.047 --> 00:15:26.482
- >> joyce: which in itself is a miracle that god--
- 00:15:26.548 --> 00:15:27.216
- Is a miracle that god-- >> ginger: yeah,
- 00:15:27.282 --> 00:15:28.217
- >> ginger: yeah, that's a god thing.
- 00:15:28.283 --> 00:15:28.817
- That's a god thing. >> joyce: yeah, you have
- 00:15:28.884 --> 00:15:29.585
- >> joyce: yeah, you have to really know that
- 00:15:29.651 --> 00:15:30.486
- To really know that god loves you.
- 00:15:30.552 --> 00:15:32.521
- God loves you. because when you keep having
- 00:15:32.588 --> 00:15:35.858
- Because when you keep having issues over and over, and that's
- 00:15:35.924 --> 00:15:37.326
- Issues over and over, and that's kind of been my achilles heel.
- 00:15:37.393 --> 00:15:38.827
- Kind of been my achilles heel. you know, it's like for some
- 00:15:38.894 --> 00:15:39.695
- You know, it's like for some people it's finances, for some
- 00:15:39.762 --> 00:15:40.929
- People it's finances, for some it's trouble in their marriage.
- 00:15:40.996 --> 00:15:42.031
- It's trouble in their marriage. but when you go into ministry,
- 00:15:42.097 --> 00:15:44.366
- But when you go into ministry, the devil is not gonna
- 00:15:44.433 --> 00:15:45.167
- The devil is not gonna leave you alone.
- 00:15:45.234 --> 00:15:45.801
- Leave you alone. i mean, you become a target.
- 00:15:45.868 --> 00:15:47.703
- And, you know, we reach a lot
- 00:15:48.237 --> 00:15:49.905
- And, you know, we reach a lot of people with the word
- 00:15:49.972 --> 00:15:51.740
- Of people with the word because of the big, broad
- 00:15:51.807 --> 00:15:53.542
- Because of the big, broad tv ministry we have.
- 00:15:53.609 --> 00:15:54.977
- Tv ministry we have. and so, that's kind of the thing
- 00:15:55.044 --> 00:15:57.179
- And so, that's kind of the thing that the enemy will
- 00:15:57.246 --> 00:15:59.348
- That the enemy will come at me with.
- 00:15:59.415 --> 00:16:00.482
- Come at me with. and three years ago, i got
- 00:16:00.549 --> 00:16:06.722
- And three years ago, i got pretty serious adrenal fatigue
- 00:16:06.789 --> 00:16:08.323
- Pretty serious adrenal fatigue just from working too hard
- 00:16:08.390 --> 00:16:09.525
- Just from working too hard and not using wisdom.
- 00:16:09.591 --> 00:16:10.659
- And not using wisdom. and that was really hard on me
- 00:16:10.726 --> 00:16:13.162
- And that was really hard on me because it affected my voice.
- 00:16:13.228 --> 00:16:15.464
- Because it affected my voice. i don't know why, but my mouth
- 00:16:15.531 --> 00:16:18.434
- I don't know why, but my mouth got extremely dry and i had
- 00:16:18.500 --> 00:16:21.403
- Some silly thing called
- 00:16:21.470 --> 00:16:22.237
- Some silly thing called burning tongue syndrome,
- 00:16:22.304 --> 00:16:23.639
- Burning tongue syndrome, which most doctors had
- 00:16:23.705 --> 00:16:25.474
- Which most doctors had never even heard of.
- 00:16:25.541 --> 00:16:26.475
- Never even heard of. and, you know, sometimes
- 00:16:26.542 --> 00:16:27.943
- And, you know, sometimes when you have things that
- 00:16:28.010 --> 00:16:28.977
- When you have things that nobody can find, then they
- 00:16:29.044 --> 00:16:31.113
- Nobody can find, then they start thinking...
- 00:16:31.180 --> 00:16:32.214
- Start thinking... >> ginger: that's so difficult.
- 00:16:32.281 --> 00:16:33.415
- >> ginger: that's so difficult. >> joyce: then they start
- 00:16:33.482 --> 00:16:34.149
- >> joyce: then they start thinking it's all in your head.
- 00:16:34.216 --> 00:16:36.251
- Thinking it's all in your head. and but the key is,
- 00:16:36.318 --> 00:16:38.921
- And but the key is, is to never give up.
- 00:16:38.987 --> 00:16:40.389
- Is to never give up. and one of the things that
- 00:16:40.456 --> 00:16:41.557
- And one of the things that i say--i've learned to say is,
- 00:16:41.623 --> 00:16:44.626
- I say--i've learned to say is, “there will be an end to this.”
- 00:16:44.693 --> 00:16:46.595
- “there will be an end to this.” and in each thing that i've had,
- 00:16:46.662 --> 00:16:49.898
- And in each thing that i've had, you know, there always
- 00:16:49.965 --> 00:16:50.699
- You know, there always is an end, you know,
- 00:16:50.766 --> 00:16:52.768
- Is an end, you know, “this won't last forever,
- 00:16:52.835 --> 00:16:55.270
- “this won't last forever, there will be an end to this.”
- 00:16:55.337 --> 00:16:56.572
- There will be an end to this.” and i say it out loud,
- 00:16:56.638 --> 00:16:59.608
- And i say it out loud, you know, because that's one
- 00:16:59.675 --> 00:17:00.476
- You know, because that's one of the things the enemy wants
- 00:17:00.542 --> 00:17:01.410
- Of the things the enemy wants to tell you, or frighten you
- 00:17:01.477 --> 00:17:02.444
- To tell you, or frighten you with, “well, what if i'm like
- 00:17:02.511 --> 00:17:03.345
- With, “well, what if i'm like this forever?”
- 00:17:03.412 --> 00:17:03.712
- This forever?” >> ginger: yeah, “i'll always
- 00:17:03.779 --> 00:17:04.413
- >> ginger: yeah, “i'll always be this way.”
- 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:04.980
- Be this way.” >> joyce: “well, what if this
- 00:17:05.047 --> 00:17:05.881
- >> joyce: “well, what if this never goes away?”
- 00:17:05.948 --> 00:17:06.515
- Never goes away?” “i can't stand this if this
- 00:17:06.582 --> 00:17:08.383
- “i can't stand this if this never goes away.”
- 00:17:08.450 --> 00:17:09.151
- Never goes away.” and i know when you're sick,
- 00:17:09.218 --> 00:17:11.653
- And i know when you're sick, the inclination is to huddle
- 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:16.158
- The inclination is to huddle up in a corner somewhere
- 00:17:16.225 --> 00:17:18.227
- Up in a corner somewhere by yourself and do nothing.
- 00:17:18.293 --> 00:17:20.762
- By yourself and do nothing. but really, unless you have
- 00:17:20.829 --> 00:17:22.931
- But really, unless you have something that just totally
- 00:17:22.998 --> 00:17:26.001
- Something that just totally keeps you from doing anything,
- 00:17:26.068 --> 00:17:28.637
- Keeps you from doing anything, you're so much better off if you
- 00:17:28.704 --> 00:17:30.072
- You're so much better off if you do things, if you go ahead and
- 00:17:30.139 --> 00:17:31.607
- Do things, if you go ahead and do things, because number one--
- 00:17:31.673 --> 00:17:32.774
- Do things, because number one-- >> ginger: stay as busy
- 00:17:32.841 --> 00:17:33.542
- >> ginger: stay as busy as you can?
- 00:17:33.609 --> 00:17:34.710
- As you can? >> joyce: well, within reason,
- 00:17:34.776 --> 00:17:36.612
- >> joyce: well, within reason, based on what's wrong with you.
- 00:17:36.678 --> 00:17:38.780
- Based on what's wrong with you. but it's getting your mind
- 00:17:38.847 --> 00:17:40.649
- But it's getting your mind off of it.
- 00:17:40.716 --> 00:17:41.416
- Off of it. let's just say, for example,
- 00:17:41.483 --> 00:17:42.317
- Let's just say, for example, this is kind of a simple
- 00:17:42.384 --> 00:17:45.320
- This is kind of a simple example, but have you ever
- 00:17:45.387 --> 00:17:48.023
- Example, but have you ever felt really bad and gone
- 00:17:48.090 --> 00:17:50.926
- Felt really bad and gone shopping, and noticed while
- 00:17:50.993 --> 00:17:53.562
- Shopping, and noticed while you were out shopping that
- 00:17:53.629 --> 00:17:54.663
- You were out shopping that all of a sudden you didn't
- 00:17:54.730 --> 00:17:55.664
- All of a sudden you didn't feel bad anymore?
- 00:17:55.731 --> 00:17:56.465
- Feel bad anymore? >> ginger: oh, yeah, or anything
- 00:17:56.532 --> 00:17:57.900
- >> ginger: oh, yeah, or anything that distracts you for a while.
- 00:17:57.966 --> 00:17:59.301
- That distracts you for a while. >> joyce: right.
- 00:17:59.368 --> 00:18:00.035
- >> joyce: right. so, stay faithful to god.
- 00:18:00.102 --> 00:18:04.006
- So, stay faithful to god. keep going to church.
- 00:18:04.072 --> 00:18:05.741
- Keep going to church. keep--continue to pray,
- 00:18:05.807 --> 00:18:07.976
- Keep--continue to pray, continue to read your bible.
- 00:18:08.043 --> 00:18:09.711
- Continue to read your bible. try to do as many normal things
- 00:18:09.778 --> 00:18:12.848
- Try to do as many normal things as you possibly can do.
- 00:18:12.915 --> 00:18:14.016
- As you possibly can do. and don't give up and think that
- 00:18:14.082 --> 00:18:18.987
- And don't give up and think that you're never gonna be healed.
- 00:18:19.054 --> 00:18:20.689
- You're never gonna be healed. >> ginger: i wanna ask you
- 00:18:20.756 --> 00:18:21.557
- >> ginger: i wanna ask you to unpack a little bit what
- 00:18:21.623 --> 00:18:22.658
- To unpack a little bit what you said about knowing
- 00:18:22.724 --> 00:18:24.126
- You said about knowing that god loves you.
- 00:18:24.193 --> 00:18:25.127
- That god loves you. 'cause i think that's
- 00:18:25.194 --> 00:18:25.861
- 'cause i think that's really important.
- 00:18:25.928 --> 00:18:26.628
- Really important. when i've had some physical
- 00:18:26.695 --> 00:18:29.565
- When i've had some physical things going on, sometimes
- 00:18:29.631 --> 00:18:31.667
- Things going on, sometimes the first thing that pops into
- 00:18:31.733 --> 00:18:33.202
- The first thing that pops into your head, which is definitely
- 00:18:33.268 --> 00:18:34.770
- Your head, which is definitely the enemy, is saying, “well, god
- 00:18:34.836 --> 00:18:36.772
- The enemy, is saying, “well, god could fix this if he wanted to.”
- 00:18:36.838 --> 00:18:39.274
- Could fix this if he wanted to.” and instead having that
- 00:18:39.341 --> 00:18:41.009
- And instead having that awareness that god still loves
- 00:18:41.076 --> 00:18:42.411
- Awareness that god still loves me, even in this situation.
- 00:18:42.477 --> 00:18:44.479
- Me, even in this situation. >> joyce: yeah, i think
- 00:18:44.546 --> 00:18:45.847
- >> joyce: yeah, i think it's just something that you
- 00:18:45.914 --> 00:18:49.651
- It's just something that you have to get so deeply rooted
- 00:18:49.718 --> 00:18:51.453
- Have to get so deeply rooted in the love of god, and know
- 00:18:51.520 --> 00:18:53.956
- In the love of god, and know that god's not the one
- 00:18:54.022 --> 00:18:55.891
- That god's not the one making you sick.
- 00:18:55.958 --> 00:18:57.359
- Making you sick. and yes, "he could heal you."
- 00:18:57.426 --> 00:19:00.062
- And yes, "he could heal you." “if he's gonna do it ten years
- 00:19:00.128 --> 00:19:01.463
- “if he's gonna do it ten years from now, why not now?”
- 00:19:01.530 --> 00:19:03.031
- From now, why not now?” and to be honest, i don't know
- 00:19:03.098 --> 00:19:04.800
- And to be honest, i don't know the answers to all those
- 00:19:04.866 --> 00:19:06.034
- The answers to all those things, and i don't think
- 00:19:06.101 --> 00:19:07.202
- Things, and i don't think anybody else does.
- 00:19:07.269 --> 00:19:08.637
- But romans 8, tells us that
- 00:19:09.371 --> 00:19:12.174
- But romans 8, tells us that nothing should separate
- 00:19:12.241 --> 00:19:13.609
- Nothing should separate us from the love of god,
- 00:19:13.675 --> 00:19:14.776
- Us from the love of god, which is found in christ jesus.
- 00:19:14.843 --> 00:19:16.311
- Which is found in christ jesus. and that's exactly what
- 00:19:16.378 --> 00:19:17.446
- And that's exactly what the devil's trying to do.
- 00:19:17.512 --> 00:19:18.714
- He's trying to get you to think
- 00:19:18.780 --> 00:19:19.948
- He's trying to get you to think that god is not good and that,
- 00:19:20.015 --> 00:19:21.883
- That god is not good and that, you know, and also, like, well,
- 00:19:21.950 --> 00:19:24.319
- You know, and also, like, well, "why did this happen to me?
- 00:19:24.386 --> 00:19:26.021
- "why did this happen to me? you know, here i am preaching
- 00:19:26.088 --> 00:19:27.689
- You know, here i am preaching the word, and trying to help
- 00:19:27.756 --> 00:19:28.657
- The word, and trying to help people all the time.
- 00:19:28.724 --> 00:19:29.625
- People all the time. and, you know, i'm generous,
- 00:19:29.691 --> 00:19:32.327
- And, you know, i'm generous, and why did this happen to me?"
- 00:19:32.394 --> 00:19:33.662
- And why did this happen to me?" and you have to really
- 00:19:33.729 --> 00:19:34.463
- And you have to really be careful about that, too.
- 00:19:34.529 --> 00:19:36.331
- Be careful about that, too. but it gets into the area
- 00:19:36.398 --> 00:19:38.500
- But it gets into the area of indignation.
- 00:19:38.567 --> 00:19:39.935
- Of indignation. and i remember one man told me,
- 00:19:40.002 --> 00:19:41.370
- And i remember one man told me, and this is so powerful
- 00:19:41.436 --> 00:19:42.371
- And this is so powerful when you think about it.
- 00:19:42.437 --> 00:19:43.905
- When you think about it. his son got cancer,
- 00:19:43.972 --> 00:19:46.008
- His son got cancer, and of course, everybody
- 00:19:46.074 --> 00:19:48.143
- And of course, everybody was praying for him to live.
- 00:19:48.210 --> 00:19:49.278
- Was praying for him to live. and he didn't, he died.
- 00:19:49.344 --> 00:19:51.179
- And he didn't, he died. and the man said to god, “where
- 00:19:51.246 --> 00:19:53.181
- And the man said to god, “where were you when my son died?”
- 00:19:53.248 --> 00:19:54.916
- Were you when my son died?” and the thing that came back
- 00:19:54.983 --> 00:19:56.151
- And the thing that came back to him was, “the same place
- 00:19:56.218 --> 00:19:57.352
- To him was, “the same place i was when mine died.”
- 00:19:57.419 --> 00:19:59.388
- I was when mine died.” and so, we have to stop
- 00:19:59.454 --> 00:20:02.057
- And so, we have to stop trying to figure out things
- 00:20:02.124 --> 00:20:03.191
- Trying to figure out things that are beyond our
- 00:20:03.258 --> 00:20:04.393
- That are beyond our ability to understand,
- 00:20:04.459 --> 00:20:05.594
- Ability to understand, we just don't understand.
- 00:20:05.661 --> 00:20:07.195
- We just don't understand. but god does restore things.
- 00:20:07.262 --> 00:20:10.165
- But god does restore things. he does take what satan
- 00:20:10.232 --> 00:20:11.833
- He does take what satan meant for harm,
- 00:20:11.900 --> 00:20:12.934
- Meant for harm, and works it out for good.
- 00:20:13.001 --> 00:20:14.369
- And works it out for good. and i believe, for example,
- 00:20:14.436 --> 00:20:15.504
- And i believe, for example, like the fact that i had
- 00:20:15.570 --> 00:20:17.706
- Like the fact that i had migraine headaches for
- 00:20:17.773 --> 00:20:18.573
- Migraine headaches for ten years and got over them,
- 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:19.608
- Ten years and got over them, don't have them anymore.
- 00:20:19.675 --> 00:20:20.375
- Don't have them anymore. that's encouraging to people
- 00:20:20.442 --> 00:20:22.244
- That's encouraging to people that have headaches.
- 00:20:22.311 --> 00:20:23.145
- That have headaches. >> ginger: definitely.
- 00:20:23.211 --> 00:20:23.645
- >> ginger: definitely. >> joyc: the fact that i had
- 00:20:23.712 --> 00:20:24.680
- >> joyc: the fact that i had cancer, and got through it,
- 00:20:24.746 --> 00:20:27.416
- Cancer, and got through it, and it's never come back.
- 00:20:27.482 --> 00:20:28.884
- And it's never come back. you know, that's encouraging
- 00:20:28.950 --> 00:20:30.118
- You know, that's encouraging to people.
- 00:20:30.185 --> 00:20:30.752
- To people. and hopefully, the fact that
- 00:20:30.819 --> 00:20:34.189
- And hopefully, the fact that i worked myself almost to death
- 00:20:34.256 --> 00:20:35.891
- I worked myself almost to death is teaching people, you know,
- 00:20:35.957 --> 00:20:38.126
- Is teaching people, you know, that you have to obey god's laws
- 00:20:38.193 --> 00:20:40.796
- That you have to obey god's laws of health and that you can't
- 00:20:40.862 --> 00:20:41.963
- Of health and that you can't just push, push, push, push.
- 00:20:42.030 --> 00:20:43.799
- Just push, push, push, push. you've gotta use common sense.
- 00:20:43.865 --> 00:20:46.401
- You've gotta use common sense. >> ginger: we have to take
- 00:20:46.468 --> 00:20:47.269
- >> ginger: we have to take care of ourselves.
- 00:20:47.336 --> 00:20:48.303
- Care of ourselves. i mean, god gives us wisdom
- 00:20:48.370 --> 00:20:50.806
- I mean, god gives us wisdom to take care of ourselves.
- 00:20:50.872 --> 00:20:52.207
- To take care of ourselves. and yet, let's flip it over
- 00:20:52.274 --> 00:20:53.642
- And yet, let's flip it over while we're being candid.
- 00:20:53.709 --> 00:20:55.977
- While we're being candid. at the same time, things
- 00:20:56.044 --> 00:20:58.046
- At the same time, things happen, like you said,
- 00:20:58.113 --> 00:20:59.281
- Happen, like you said, that we don't understand,
- 00:20:59.348 --> 00:21:00.215
- That we don't understand, that we can't explain.
- 00:21:00.282 --> 00:21:01.316
- That we can't explain. it doesn't mean that your
- 00:21:01.383 --> 00:21:04.186
- It doesn't mean that your faith was weak.
- 00:21:04.252 --> 00:21:05.520
- Faith was weak. >> joyce: no.
- 00:21:05.587 --> 00:21:05.954
- >> joyce: no. >> ginger: i mean, there are
- 00:21:06.021 --> 00:21:06.822
- >> ginger: i mean, there are so many things that can come
- 00:21:06.888 --> 00:21:08.323
- So many things that can come up in the christian world.
- 00:21:08.390 --> 00:21:09.491
- Up in the christian world. >> joyce: there's so many
- 00:21:09.558 --> 00:21:10.392
- >> joyce: there's so many reasons.
- 00:21:10.459 --> 00:21:11.760
- Reasons. i mean, sure, sometimes you
- 00:21:11.827 --> 00:21:14.096
- I mean, sure, sometimes you get sick because you weren't
- 00:21:14.162 --> 00:21:16.331
- Get sick because you weren't taking care of yourself.
- 00:21:16.398 --> 00:21:19.267
- Taking care of yourself. there may be a time when there's
- 00:21:19.334 --> 00:21:20.769
- There may be a time when there's sin in your life and the enemy
- 00:21:20.836 --> 00:21:22.104
- Sin in your life and the enemy gets in through that door.
- 00:21:22.170 --> 00:21:23.672
- Gets in through that door. but that's not always the case.
- 00:21:23.739 --> 00:21:26.708
- But that's not always the case. you know, there was a little
