00:00:30.954 --> 00:00:31.855
In john 3:25-27, it says, "therefore there arose a controversy between some
00:00:31.921 --> 00:00:34.090
"therefore there arose a controversy between some of john's disciples and a jew
00:00:34.157 --> 00:00:36.826
A controversy between some of john's disciples and a jew in regard to purification.
00:00:36.893 --> 00:00:38.595
Of john's disciples and a jew in regard to purification. so they came to john
00:00:38.661 --> 00:00:40.563
In regard to purification. so they came to john and reported to him, 'rabbi,
00:00:40.630 --> 00:00:42.298
So they came to john and reported to him, 'rabbi, the man who was with you
00:00:42.365 --> 00:00:43.967
And reported to him, 'rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the jordan
00:00:44.033 --> 00:00:45.168
The man who was with you on the other side of the jordan [at the jordan crossing,]
00:00:45.235 --> 00:00:46.503
On the other side of the jordan [at the jordan crossing,] --and to whom you yourself
00:00:46.569 --> 00:00:48.705
[at the jordan crossing,] --and to whom you yourself bore testimony'--"
00:00:48.771 --> 00:00:49.706

He's talking about jesus. "'here he is baptizing too, and now everybody
00:00:53.276 --> 00:00:54.010
"'here he is baptizing too, and now everybody is flocking to him!'"
00:00:54.077 --> 00:00:56.980
And now everybody is flocking to him!'" i love this stuff!

I love this stuff! it's amazing how many practical things are in the bible
00:01:01.651 --> 00:01:02.719
It's amazing how many practical things are in the bible if you just look for 'em.
00:01:02.785 --> 00:01:04.487
Things are in the bible if you just look for 'em. and "john answered..."
00:01:04.554 --> 00:01:07.524
If you just look for 'em. and "john answered..." john didn't care about
00:01:07.590 --> 00:01:08.858
And "john answered..." john didn't care about none of that stuff.
00:01:08.925 --> 00:01:09.859
John didn't care about none of that stuff. he'd been living in the desert,
00:01:09.926 --> 00:01:11.161
None of that stuff. he'd been living in the desert, eating locust and wild honey
00:01:11.227 --> 00:01:12.328
He'd been living in the desert, eating locust and wild honey and wearing rags.
00:01:12.395 --> 00:01:14.564
Eating locust and wild honey and wearing rags. he wasn't into things
00:01:14.631 --> 00:01:18.735
And wearing rags. he wasn't into things or reputation.
00:01:18.801 --> 00:01:20.870
He wasn't into things or reputation. "john answered,
00:01:20.937 --> 00:01:21.838
Or reputation. "john answered, 'a man can receive nothing...'"
00:01:21.905 --> 00:01:23.540
"john answered, 'a man can receive nothing...'" now get this.

'a man can receive nothing...'" now get this. "'[he can claim nothing, he can

Now get this. "'[he can claim nothing, he can take unto himself nothing]
00:01:26.276 --> 00:01:28.011
"'[he can claim nothing, he can take unto himself nothing] except as it has been granted
00:01:28.077 --> 00:01:29.879
Take unto himself nothing] except as it has been granted to him from heaven.
00:01:29.946 --> 00:01:31.347
Except as it has been granted to him from heaven. [a man must be content
00:01:31.414 --> 00:01:33.049
To him from heaven. [a man must be content to receive the gift which
00:01:33.116 --> 00:01:34.617
[a man must be content to receive the gift which is given him from heaven;

To receive the gift which is given him from heaven; there is no other source.]'"
00:01:36.152 --> 00:01:38.788
>> [audience applauding]
00:01:39.589 --> 00:01:45.128
>> [audience applauding] >> joyce: that's a little
00:01:45.195 --> 00:01:45.995
>> [audience applauding] >> joyce: that's a little better than your acting,
00:01:46.062 --> 00:01:46.796
>> joyce: that's a little better than your acting, but i'll take it.
00:01:46.863 --> 00:01:47.564
Better than your acting, but i'll take it. >> [audience laughing]
00:01:47.630 --> 00:01:49.299
>> joyce: you know,
00:01:50.667 --> 00:01:51.167
>> joyce: you know, peter was jealous of john.
00:01:51.234 --> 00:01:54.404
>> joyce: you know, peter was jealous of john. it's interesting to me.
00:01:54.470 --> 00:01:55.371
Peter was jealous of john. it's interesting to me. i'm reading a book now
00:01:55.438 --> 00:01:56.439
It's interesting to me. i'm reading a book now on the 12 disciples.
00:01:56.506 --> 00:01:57.373
And it is absolutely hilarious
00:01:57.941 --> 00:01:59.576
And it is absolutely hilarious the men that jesus picked
00:01:59.642 --> 00:02:02.145
And it is absolutely hilarious the men that jesus picked to carry on his ministry.
00:02:02.212 --> 00:02:06.549
The men that jesus picked to carry on his ministry. i mean, probably the only one
00:02:06.616 --> 00:02:08.484
To carry on his ministry. i mean, probably the only one we would've chosen--if they
00:02:08.551 --> 00:02:10.019
I mean, probably the only one we would've chosen--if they would've sent in resumes,
00:02:10.086 --> 00:02:11.321
We would've chosen--if they would've sent in resumes, would've been judas.
00:02:11.387 --> 00:02:16.192
Would've sent in resumes, would've been judas. 'cause peter, he sure
00:02:16.259 --> 00:02:17.927
Would've been judas. 'cause peter, he sure had a lot of problems.
00:02:17.994 --> 00:02:21.931
And they were jealous of each
00:02:21.998 --> 00:02:23.266
And they were jealous of each other and wanting to know
00:02:23.333 --> 00:02:24.067
And they were jealous of each other and wanting to know who was the greatest.
00:02:24.133 --> 00:02:25.435
Other and wanting to know who was the greatest. and here peter's
00:02:25.501 --> 00:02:27.837
Who was the greatest. and here peter's jealous of john.
00:02:27.904 --> 00:02:29.038
And here peter's jealous of john. and you know, peter, james,
00:02:29.105 --> 00:02:31.107
Jealous of john. and you know, peter, james, and john seemed to be a little
00:02:31.174 --> 00:02:32.375
And you know, peter, james, and john seemed to be a little closer to jesus than some
00:02:32.442 --> 00:02:36.713
And john seemed to be a little closer to jesus than some of the other disciples.
00:02:36.779 --> 00:02:37.680
Closer to jesus than some of the other disciples. he let them do things with him
00:02:37.747 --> 00:02:38.815
Of the other disciples. he let them do things with him that he didn't let everybody do.
00:02:38.881 --> 00:02:40.583
He let them do things with him that he didn't let everybody do. so i'm sure everybody
00:02:40.650 --> 00:02:41.584
That he didn't let everybody do. so i'm sure everybody was jealous of them.
00:02:41.651 --> 00:02:42.785
So i'm sure everybody was jealous of them. and then john was the disciple
00:02:42.852 --> 00:02:44.153
Was jealous of them. and then john was the disciple whom jesus loved.
00:02:44.220 --> 00:02:45.655
And i can't imagine
00:02:45.722 --> 00:02:46.489
And i can't imagine how that irked peter.
00:02:46.556 --> 00:02:47.991
And i can't imagine how that irked peter. cause he said that
00:02:48.057 --> 00:02:49.592
How that irked peter. cause he said that about himself.
00:02:49.659 --> 00:02:50.360
Cause he said that about himself. "'i'm the disciple
00:02:50.426 --> 00:02:50.994
About himself. "'i'm the disciple whom jesus loves.'"
00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:54.197
"'i'm the disciple whom jesus loves.'" said it more than once.
00:02:54.264 --> 00:02:55.498
Whom jesus loves.'" said it more than once. "'i'm the disciple
00:02:55.565 --> 00:02:56.165
Said it more than once. "'i'm the disciple whom jesus loved.'"
00:02:56.232 --> 00:02:57.734
"'i'm the disciple whom jesus loved.'" i would've probably
00:02:57.800 --> 00:02:58.201
Whom jesus loved.'" i would've probably thought, "shut up!"
00:02:58.268 --> 00:02:59.269
I would've probably thought, "shut up!" >> [audience laughing]
00:02:59.335 --> 00:03:01.571
>> joyce: so now, here
00:03:03.239 --> 00:03:03.906
>> joyce: so now, here peter was jealous of john.
00:03:03.973 --> 00:03:06.309
>> joyce: so now, here peter was jealous of john. and in john 21:14, "this was now
00:03:06.376 --> 00:03:11.547
Peter was jealous of john. and in john 21:14, "this was now the third time jesus appeared
00:03:11.614 --> 00:03:12.982
And in john 21:14, "this was now the third time jesus appeared to his disciples after he was
00:03:13.049 --> 00:03:14.984
The third time jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.
00:03:15.051 --> 00:03:17.420
To his disciples after he was raised from the dead. and when they
00:03:17.487 --> 00:03:18.855
Raised from the dead. and when they had finished eating,
00:03:18.921 --> 00:03:19.656
And when they had finished eating, jesus said to simon peter,
00:03:19.722 --> 00:03:21.758
Had finished eating, jesus said to simon peter, 'simon son of john, do you
00:03:21.824 --> 00:03:25.461
Jesus said to simon peter, 'simon son of john, do you love me more than these?'
00:03:25.528 --> 00:03:27.730
'simon son of john, do you love me more than these?' 'yes, lord,' he said,
00:03:27.797 --> 00:03:29.799
Love me more than these?' 'yes, lord,' he said, 'you know that i love you.'
00:03:29.866 --> 00:03:30.800
'yes, lord,' he said, 'you know that i love you.' and jesus said,
00:03:30.867 --> 00:03:31.501
'you know that i love you.' and jesus said, 'well, feed my lambs.'
00:03:31.567 --> 00:03:33.336
And jesus said, 'well, feed my lambs.' and jesus said, 'simon

You know that i love you.' and he said, 'well, feed my sheep.'
00:03:38.841 --> 00:03:40.710
And he said, 'well, feed my sheep.' and the third time, he said

And the third time, he said to him, 'simon son of john, do you love me?'
00:03:45.648 --> 00:03:46.482
To him, 'simon son of john, do you love me?' peter was hurt because jesus
00:03:46.549 --> 00:03:48.084
Do you love me?' peter was hurt because jesus asked him the third time,
00:03:48.151 --> 00:03:49.852
Peter was hurt because jesus asked him the third time, 'do you love me?'
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:50.453
Asked him the third time, 'do you love me?' he said, 'lord,
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:51.354
'do you love me?' he said, 'lord, you know all things;
00:03:51.421 --> 00:03:52.288
He said, 'lord, you know all things; you know that i love you.'
00:03:52.355 --> 00:03:53.289
You know all things; you know that i love you.' and jesus said,
00:03:53.356 --> 00:03:54.290
You know that i love you.' and jesus said, 'well, feed my sheep.'"
00:03:54.357 --> 00:03:55.525
And jesus said, 'well, feed my sheep.'" so really, the message to us
00:03:55.591 --> 00:03:57.360
'well, feed my sheep.'" so really, the message to us out of that is, if you love me,
00:03:57.427 --> 00:03:58.594
So really, the message to us out of that is, if you love me, then help somebody--
00:03:58.661 --> 00:04:01.898
Out of that is, if you love me, then help somebody-- get busy being a blessing.
00:04:01.964 --> 00:04:04.033
Then help somebody-- get busy being a blessing. >> [audience applauding]

Now he's still talking to peter. "when you were young, you dressed yourself and went
00:04:15.712 --> 00:04:17.080
"when you were young, you dressed yourself and went wherever you wanted."
00:04:17.146 --> 00:04:19.382
You dressed yourself and went wherever you wanted." or basically, when you were
00:04:19.449 --> 00:04:21.050
Wherever you wanted." or basically, when you were younger, you did whatever
00:04:21.117 --> 00:04:22.051
Or basically, when you were younger, you did whatever you wanted to do.
00:04:22.118 --> 00:04:23.619
Younger, you did whatever you wanted to do. "but when you are old you will
00:04:23.686 --> 00:04:25.455
You wanted to do. "but when you are old you will stretch out your hand,

Stretch out your hand, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you
00:04:27.857 --> 00:04:28.725
And someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go."
00:04:28.791 --> 00:04:30.293
And lead you where you do not want to go." he was actually talking to him
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:31.761
Do not want to go." he was actually talking to him about the kind of death
00:04:31.828 --> 00:04:33.196
He was actually talking to him about the kind of death he was gonna die.
00:04:33.262 --> 00:04:34.263
About the kind of death he was gonna die. and every one of the disciples--
00:04:34.330 --> 00:04:37.700
He was gonna die. and every one of the disciples-- yes, they had the privilege
00:04:37.767 --> 00:04:39.068
And every one of the disciples-- yes, they had the privilege of being a disciple,
00:04:39.135 --> 00:04:41.904
Yes, they had the privilege of being a disciple, but every one of them
00:04:41.971 --> 00:04:42.972
Of being a disciple, but every one of them died a martyr's death.
00:04:43.039 --> 00:04:46.943
But every one of them died a martyr's death. and peter, i think they say,
00:04:47.009 --> 00:04:50.480
Died a martyr's death. and peter, i think they say, was crucified upside down,
00:04:50.546 --> 00:04:53.483
And peter, i think they say, was crucified upside down, at his request.
00:04:53.549 --> 00:04:55.385
Was crucified upside down, at his request. he didn't want to die
00:04:55.451 --> 00:04:56.586
At his request. he didn't want to die like his savior died.
00:04:56.652 --> 00:04:57.754
He didn't want to die like his savior died. he didn't think he was
00:04:57.820 --> 00:04:58.521

The word, i do a lot of talking to myself.
00:13:05.140 --> 00:13:06.308
Of talking to myself. and of course, the simple
00:13:06.375 --> 00:13:10.512
And of course, the simple answer is, be thankful for what
00:13:10.579 --> 00:13:13.015
Answer is, be thankful for what you have, instead of wanting
00:13:13.082 --> 00:13:16.652
You have, instead of wanting what somebody else has.
00:13:16.719 --> 00:13:18.487
Of course, they'd been
00:13:23.592 --> 00:13:24.860
Of course, they'd been baptizing, and then some
00:13:24.927 --> 00:13:26.028
Of course, they'd been baptizing, and then some of jesus' disciples were
00:13:26.095 --> 00:13:27.263
Baptizing, and then some of jesus' disciples were baptizing, and john's disciples
00:13:27.329 --> 00:13:31.166
Of jesus' disciples were baptizing, and john's disciples got jealous and concerned,
00:13:31.233 --> 00:13:32.835
Baptizing, and john's disciples got jealous and concerned, "well, what if he's baptizing
00:13:32.902 --> 00:13:35.204
Got jealous and concerned, "well, what if he's baptizing more people than you are?"
00:13:35.271 --> 00:13:37.006
"well, what if he's baptizing more people than you are?" and john said, "you must
00:13:37.072 --> 00:13:39.575
More people than you are?" and john said, "you must be content with the gift that
00:13:39.642 --> 00:13:42.511
And john said, "you must be content with the gift that is given you because there's
00:13:42.578 --> 00:13:44.780
Be content with the gift that is given you because there's no source other than heaven
00:13:44.847 --> 00:13:47.216
Is given you because there's no source other than heaven to get a gift from."
00:13:47.283 --> 00:13:50.319
No source other than heaven to get a gift from." and so if we finagle around
00:13:50.386 --> 00:13:52.955
To get a gift from." and so if we finagle around and get things ourselves,
00:13:53.022 --> 00:13:54.290
And so if we finagle around and get things ourselves, they're only gonna
00:13:54.356 --> 00:13:55.824
And get things ourselves, they're only gonna make us miserable.
00:13:55.891 --> 00:13:56.759
They're only gonna make us miserable. i don't believe that they
00:13:56.825 --> 00:13:58.193
Make us miserable. i don't believe that they can ever come with joy
00:13:58.260 --> 00:14:00.663
I don't believe that they can ever come with joy and happiness.
00:14:00.729 --> 00:14:02.665
Can ever come with joy and happiness. but james 4:2 says, "you have
00:14:02.731 --> 00:14:06.101
And happiness. but james 4:2 says, "you have not because you ask not."
00:14:06.168 --> 00:14:08.170
But james 4:2 says, "you have not because you ask not." and that if we try to go about
00:14:08.237 --> 00:14:09.905
Not because you ask not." and that if we try to go about it the other way, we just end
00:14:09.972 --> 00:14:11.106
Up causing strife when we try
00:14:11.173 --> 00:14:12.574
Up causing strife when we try to get what we want our way.
00:14:12.641 --> 00:14:14.810
Up causing strife when we try to get what we want our way. and really, i would say
00:14:14.877 --> 00:14:17.813
To get what we want our way. and really, i would say that jealousy may not
00:14:17.880 --> 00:14:20.382
And really, i would say that jealousy may not be marlo's problem.
00:14:20.449 --> 00:14:21.617
That jealousy may not be marlo's problem. it may be a lack of confidence.
00:14:21.684 --> 00:14:24.853
Be marlo's problem. it may be a lack of confidence. and she thinks that...
00:14:24.920 --> 00:14:25.754
It may be a lack of confidence. and she thinks that... >> ginger: they really
00:14:25.821 --> 00:14:26.422
And she thinks that... >> ginger: they really go hand in hand, don't they?
00:14:26.488 --> 00:14:27.323
>> ginger: they really go hand in hand, don't they? >> joyce: she thinks that having
00:14:27.389 --> 00:14:28.624
Go hand in hand, don't they? >> joyce: she thinks that having what somebody else has,
00:14:28.691 --> 00:14:31.894
>> joyce: she thinks that having what somebody else has, will make her feel
00:14:31.961 --> 00:14:33.662
What somebody else has, will make her feel good about herself.
00:14:33.729 --> 00:14:34.697
Will make her feel good about herself. god won't bless that.
00:14:34.763 --> 00:14:35.831
The bible says,
00:14:35.898 --> 00:14:37.199
The bible says, "jealousy rots the bones."
00:14:37.266 --> 00:14:38.567
The bible says, "jealousy rots the bones." and it is very dangerous.
00:14:38.634 --> 00:14:42.638
"jealousy rots the bones." and it is very dangerous. you know, i guess
00:14:42.705 --> 00:14:43.839
"rots the bones" means
00:14:43.906 --> 00:14:44.974
"rots the bones" means it could give you arthritis
00:14:45.040 --> 00:14:46.709
"rots the bones" means it could give you arthritis or some other thing.
00:14:46.775 --> 00:14:48.510
It could give you arthritis or some other thing. and we do sometimes open
00:14:48.577 --> 00:14:51.246
Or some other thing. and we do sometimes open the door for sickness
00:14:51.313 --> 00:14:52.214
And we do sometimes open the door for sickness by doing things like that.
00:14:52.281 --> 00:14:55.384
The door for sickness by doing things like that. puts a lot of stress on you
00:14:55.451 --> 00:14:56.618
By doing things like that. puts a lot of stress on you when you have to be jealous
00:14:56.685 --> 00:14:58.187
Puts a lot of stress on you when you have to be jealous of everybody else.
00:14:58.253 --> 00:14:59.154
When you have to be jealous of everybody else. and i think that we have
00:14:59.221 --> 00:15:01.390
Of everybody else. and i think that we have to catch it just when it tries
00:15:01.457 --> 00:15:03.592
And i think that we have to catch it just when it tries to get hold of us and say, "no!"
00:15:03.659 --> 00:15:06.695
To catch it just when it tries to get hold of us and say, "no!" i'm learning.
00:15:06.762 --> 00:15:07.329
To get hold of us and say, "no!" i'm learning. it's amazing, you know.

I'm learning. it's amazing, you know. >> ginger: 'cause,

00:15:11.767 --> 00:15:14.570
"submit yourself to god," james 4:7, "resist the devil and he will flee."
00:15:14.636 --> 00:15:15.904
James 4:7, "resist the devil and he will flee." so, you know, i've been walking
00:15:15.971 --> 00:15:18.941
With god for 50 years.
00:15:19.008 --> 00:15:20.509
With god for 50 years. so some of my answers are
00:15:20.576 --> 00:15:22.511
With god for 50 years. so some of my answers are on the other side of having
00:15:22.578 --> 00:15:24.013
So some of my answers are on the other side of having gone through all the nonsense
00:15:24.079 --> 00:15:25.414
On the other side of having gone through all the nonsense that people are going through.
00:15:25.481 --> 00:15:26.982
Gone through all the nonsense that people are going through. and i love god very, very much.
00:15:27.049 --> 00:15:33.389
That people are going through. and i love god very, very much. and i wanna please him.
00:15:33.455 --> 00:15:35.190
And i love god very, very much. and i wanna please him. i want to be obedient to him.
00:15:35.257 --> 00:15:37.593
And i wanna please him. i want to be obedient to him. and so some things i just won't
00:15:37.659 --> 00:15:39.595
I want to be obedient to him. and so some things i just won't permit in my life because i know
00:15:39.661 --> 00:15:40.863
And so some things i just won't permit in my life because i know he doesn't like 'em, and they
00:15:40.929 --> 00:15:43.332
Permit in my life because i know he doesn't like 'em, and they don't do any good anyway.
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:45.067
He doesn't like 'em, and they don't do any good anyway. you know god, god puts gifts--
00:15:45.134 --> 00:15:47.302
Don't do any good anyway. you know god, god puts gifts-- he puts--like say,
00:15:47.369 --> 00:15:51.073
You know god, god puts gifts-- he puts--like say, if i'm jealous of a singer.
00:15:51.140 --> 00:15:54.810
He puts--like say, if i'm jealous of a singer. you know, i used to wish
00:15:54.877 --> 00:15:55.878
If i'm jealous of a singer. you know, i used to wish i could sing.
00:15:55.944 --> 00:15:56.545
You know, i used to wish i could sing. >> ginger: uh huh.
00:15:56.612 --> 00:15:57.146
I could sing. >> ginger: uh huh. >> joyce: well, i can't sing.
00:15:57.212 --> 00:15:59.081
>> ginger: uh huh. >> joyce: well, i can't sing. nobody even knows
00:15:59.148 --> 00:16:00.082
>> joyce: well, i can't sing. nobody even knows what key i sing in.
00:16:00.149 --> 00:16:01.083
Nobody even knows what key i sing in. so, you know, but god
00:16:01.150 --> 00:16:04.586
What key i sing in. so, you know, but god put on my heart one time.
00:16:04.653 --> 00:16:05.487
So, you know, but god put on my heart one time. he said, "i put that gift
00:16:05.554 --> 00:16:06.522
Put on my heart one time. he said, "i put that gift in them for you."
00:16:06.588 --> 00:16:09.758
He said, "i put that gift in them for you." the gifts in other people
00:16:09.825 --> 00:16:10.993
In them for you." the gifts in other people are for us to enjoy,
00:16:11.060 --> 00:16:12.995
The gifts in other people are for us to enjoy, not to be jealous of.
00:16:13.062 --> 00:16:14.763
Are for us to enjoy, not to be jealous of. and the gifts in us,
00:16:14.830 --> 00:16:16.432
Not to be jealous of. and the gifts in us, like i always say, my gift that
00:16:16.498 --> 00:16:19.168
And the gifts in us, like i always say, my gift that god has given me to teach,
00:16:19.234 --> 00:16:25.674
Like i always say, my gift that god has given me to teach, it doesn't do anything--
00:16:25.741 --> 00:16:26.842
God has given me to teach, it doesn't do anything-- it doesn't do anything for me,
00:16:26.909 --> 00:16:29.011
It doesn't do anything-- it doesn't do anything for me, makes me work,
00:16:29.078 --> 00:16:29.678
It doesn't do anything for me, makes me work, but it's for everybody else.
00:16:29.745 --> 00:16:31.713
Makes me work, but it's for everybody else. but jealousy and greed and envy,
00:16:31.780 --> 00:16:35.417
But it's for everybody else. but jealousy and greed and envy, kind of all go together.
00:16:35.484 --> 00:16:37.419
But jealousy and greed and envy, kind of all go together. and so if we're happy
00:16:37.486 --> 00:16:38.320
Kind of all go together. and so if we're happy and blessed, we focus on what
00:16:38.387 --> 00:16:41.056
And so if we're happy and blessed, we focus on what we do have, it helps us not
00:16:41.123 --> 00:16:44.526
And blessed, we focus on what we do have, it helps us not to be jealous of what
00:16:44.593 --> 00:16:45.461
We do have, it helps us not to be jealous of what somebody else has.
00:16:45.527 --> 00:16:46.228
And it's just really,
00:16:46.628 --> 00:16:47.729
And it's just really, to be honest, a nasty spirit.
00:16:47.796 --> 00:16:50.666
To be honest, a nasty spirit. >> ginger: it is.
00:16:50.732 --> 00:16:51.333
>> ginger: it is. i have learned so much what
00:16:51.400 --> 00:16:52.801
I have learned so much what you've just been saying,
00:16:52.868 --> 00:16:53.769
You've just been saying, because i've always been
00:16:53.836 --> 00:16:55.704
Because i've always been a very driven person, right?
00:16:55.771 --> 00:16:57.539
A very driven person, right? i like to accomplish things.
00:16:57.606 --> 00:16:59.208
I like to accomplish things. i like to set goals.
00:16:59.274 --> 00:17:00.242
I like to set goals. i had things that i wanted
00:17:00.309 --> 00:17:03.278
I had things that i wanted to do in my career.
00:17:03.345 --> 00:17:04.246
To do in my career. and therefore, you know,
00:17:04.313 --> 00:17:06.115
And therefore, you know, you go after those things,
00:17:06.181 --> 00:17:07.716
You go after those things, you do those things.
00:17:07.783 --> 00:17:09.485
You do those things. but i really had to learn along
00:17:09.551 --> 00:17:11.220
But i really had to learn along the way a couple things that
00:17:11.286 --> 00:17:13.122
The way a couple things that when somebody else gets
00:17:13.188 --> 00:17:14.256
When somebody else gets something that you were
00:17:14.323 --> 00:17:15.124
Something that you were working for, there's
00:17:15.190 --> 00:17:16.625
Like i, okay, then there'll
00:17:18.627 --> 00:17:19.895
Like i, okay, then there'll be something else for me,
00:17:19.962 --> 00:17:21.063
Like i, okay, then there'll be something else for me, and that will be good for them.
00:17:21.130 --> 00:17:22.331
Be something else for me, and that will be good for them. and that's a hard lesson
00:17:22.397 --> 00:17:23.532
And that will be good for them. and that's a hard lesson to learn, but i really
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:24.900
And that's a hard lesson to learn, but i really had to learn that.
00:17:24.967 --> 00:17:25.734
To learn, but i really had to learn that. and the other thing
00:17:25.801 --> 00:17:26.635
Had to learn that. and the other thing is just what you said,
00:17:26.702 --> 00:17:28.303
And the other thing is just what you said, if god doesn't give it to me,
00:17:28.370 --> 00:17:30.105
Is just what you said, if god doesn't give it to me, i will not be happy in it.
00:17:30.172 --> 00:17:31.907
If god doesn't give it to me, i will not be happy in it. i will not want it.
00:17:31.974 --> 00:17:33.275
I will not be happy in it. i will not want it. because i have worked really
00:17:33.342 --> 00:17:35.043
I will not want it. because i have worked really hard and gotten some things
00:17:35.110 --> 00:17:37.112
Because i have worked really hard and gotten some things that were not probably
00:17:37.179 --> 00:17:38.780
Hard and gotten some things that were not probably what god wanted for me.
00:17:38.847 --> 00:17:40.449
That were not probably what god wanted for me. and i wasn't as much at peace.
00:17:40.516 --> 00:17:42.784
What god wanted for me. and i wasn't as much at peace. i didn't have as much joy,
00:17:42.851 --> 00:17:43.919
And i wasn't as much at peace. i didn't have as much joy, until i got back in that lane
00:17:43.986 --> 00:17:47.022
I didn't have as much joy, until i got back in that lane where god's blessing was.
00:17:47.089 --> 00:17:49.424
Until i got back in that lane where god's blessing was. >> joyce: if god doesn't give
00:17:49.491 --> 00:17:50.526
Where god's blessing was. >> joyce: if god doesn't give us something, then there's
00:17:50.592 --> 00:17:51.660
>> joyce: if god doesn't give us something, then there's no grace on us to have it.
00:17:51.727 --> 00:17:53.562
Us something, then there's no grace on us to have it. >> ginger: yeah.
00:17:53.629 --> 00:17:54.096
No grace on us to have it. >> ginger: yeah. >> joyce: and without that
00:17:54.163 --> 00:17:54.830
>> ginger: yeah. >> joyce: and without that grace, it's just gonna end
00:17:54.897 --> 00:17:57.032
>> joyce: and without that grace, it's just gonna end up being something that
00:17:57.099 --> 00:17:57.966
Grace, it's just gonna end up being something that causes you more problems.
00:17:58.033 --> 00:17:59.301
Up being something that causes you more problems. >> ginger: yeah, and that's
00:17:59.368 --> 00:18:00.068
Causes you more problems. >> ginger: yeah, and that's where that jealousy
00:18:00.135 --> 00:18:00.602
>> ginger: yeah, and that's where that jealousy gets stirred up.
00:18:00.669 --> 00:18:02.437
Where that jealousy gets stirred up. okay, here's another question.
00:18:02.504 --> 00:18:03.872
Gets stirred up. okay, here's another question. this is from mary.
00:18:03.939 --> 00:18:06.608
Okay, here's another question. this is from mary. "i've heard you speak on
00:18:06.675 --> 00:18:08.443
This is from mary. "i've heard you speak on the insecurities that you
00:18:08.510 --> 00:18:09.845
"i've heard you speak on the insecurities that you experienced in your
00:18:09.912 --> 00:18:10.779
The insecurities that you experienced in your relationship with your husband.
00:18:10.846 --> 00:18:12.748
Experienced in your relationship with your husband. i have the same overwhelming
00:18:12.814 --> 00:18:14.316
Relationship with your husband. i have the same overwhelming feelings of distrust,
00:18:14.383 --> 00:18:15.817
I have the same overwhelming feelings of distrust, jealousy, etc.
00:18:15.884 --> 00:18:17.186
Feelings of distrust, jealousy, etc. i'm learning not to let those
00:18:17.252 --> 00:18:18.754
Jealousy, etc. i'm learning not to let those thoughts guide my actions.
00:18:18.820 --> 00:18:20.689
I'm learning not to let those thoughts guide my actions. but it's difficult.
00:18:20.756 --> 00:18:22.057
Thoughts guide my actions. but it's difficult. what do i have to do to change
00:18:22.124 --> 00:18:24.293
But it's difficult. what do i have to do to change that jealousy attitude?"
00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:26.461
What do i have to do to change that jealousy attitude?" >> joyce: well, i think
00:18:26.528 --> 00:18:27.329
That jealousy attitude?" >> joyce: well, i think that she's on her way.
00:18:27.396 --> 00:18:29.298
>> joyce: well, i think that she's on her way. she seems like she's going
00:18:29.364 --> 00:18:30.566
That she's on her way. she seems like she's going in the right direction.
00:18:30.632 --> 00:18:31.900
She seems like she's going in the right direction. you know, you can't fix anything
00:18:31.967 --> 00:18:33.635
In the right direction. you know, you can't fix anything until you know it's there.
00:18:33.702 --> 00:18:36.138
You know, you can't fix anything until you know it's there. and facing truth
00:18:36.205 --> 00:18:37.940
Until you know it's there. and facing truth is so important.
00:18:38.006 --> 00:18:40.542
And facing truth is so important. and it's really hard
00:18:40.609 --> 00:18:41.476
Is so important. and it's really hard for a lot of people to do.
00:18:41.543 --> 00:18:43.378
And it's really hard for a lot of people to do. like, i've come to a point where
00:18:43.445 --> 00:18:45.647
For a lot of people to do. like, i've come to a point where when the holy spirit shows
00:18:45.714 --> 00:18:47.516
Like, i've come to a point where when the holy spirit shows me something i've done wrong
00:18:47.583 --> 00:18:49.551
When the holy spirit shows me something i've done wrong or something i'm doing wrong,
00:18:49.618 --> 00:18:52.487
Me something i've done wrong or something i'm doing wrong, i used to just hate that.
00:18:52.554 --> 00:18:53.589
Or something i'm doing wrong, i used to just hate that. it was like, "oh boy, another
00:18:53.655 --> 00:18:55.424
I used to just hate that. it was like, "oh boy, another thing wrong with me."
00:18:55.490 --> 00:18:56.758
It was like, "oh boy, another thing wrong with me." and i really come to realize
00:18:56.825 --> 00:18:58.360
Thing wrong with me." and i really come to realize that, that's a blessing.
00:18:58.427 --> 00:19:00.295
And i really come to realize that, that's a blessing. when he shows us something
00:19:00.362 --> 00:19:01.597
That, that's a blessing. when he shows us something that's wrong with us,
00:19:01.663 --> 00:19:02.464
When he shows us something that's wrong with us, it's not to make us feel bad.
00:19:02.531 --> 00:19:04.433
That's wrong with us, it's not to make us feel bad. it's--we can't do anything
00:19:04.499 --> 00:19:06.668
It's not to make us feel bad. it's--we can't do anything about something we don't
00:19:06.735 --> 00:19:07.569
It's--we can't do anything about something we don't know anything about.
00:19:07.636 --> 00:19:09.037
About something we don't know anything about. and so facing truth--
00:19:09.104 --> 00:19:12.174
Know anything about. and so facing truth-- i think sometimes--
00:19:12.241 --> 00:19:14.943
And so facing truth-- i think sometimes-- i remember one time i was having
00:19:15.010 --> 00:19:16.278
I think sometimes-- i remember one time i was having a problem with jealousy with
00:19:16.345 --> 00:19:17.546
I remember one time i was having a problem with jealousy with someone, and i just felt like
00:19:17.613 --> 00:19:21.316
A problem with jealousy with someone, and i just felt like i needed to swallow my pride
00:19:21.383 --> 00:19:23.151
Someone, and i just felt like i needed to swallow my pride and tell somebody and that
00:19:23.218 --> 00:19:26.822
I needed to swallow my pride and tell somebody and that maybe that would break
00:19:26.888 --> 00:19:27.656
And tell somebody and that maybe that would break the power of it.
00:19:27.723 --> 00:19:29.091
Maybe that would break the power of it. and so i went to dave
00:19:29.157 --> 00:19:31.226
The power of it. and so i went to dave and i just told him, i said,
00:19:31.293 --> 00:19:32.995
And so i went to dave and i just told him, i said, "i wanna tell you that i've been
00:19:33.061 --> 00:19:34.329
And i just told him, i said, "i wanna tell you that i've been having a problem being jealous
00:19:34.396 --> 00:19:35.430
"i wanna tell you that i've been having a problem being jealous of blah, blah, blah."
00:19:35.497 --> 00:19:36.798
Having a problem being jealous of blah, blah, blah." well, dave's never been jealous
00:19:36.865 --> 00:19:38.100
Of blah, blah, blah." well, dave's never been jealous of anybody in his life.
00:19:38.166 --> 00:19:38.834
Well, dave's never been jealous of anybody in his life. and he said, "well, why are
00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:39.701
Of anybody in his life. and he said, "well, why are you jealous of her?"
00:19:39.768 --> 00:19:40.502
And he said, "well, why are you jealous of her?" [laughing]
00:19:40.569 --> 00:19:41.303
You jealous of her?" [laughing] but it helped me just
00:19:41.370 --> 00:19:42.904
[laughing] but it helped me just to own up to it, just to say it.
00:19:42.971 --> 00:19:47.943
But it helped me just to own up to it, just to say it. and i can promise her that
00:19:48.010 --> 00:19:50.946
To own up to it, just to say it. and i can promise her that if she keeps going in the right
00:19:51.013 --> 00:19:52.547
And i can promise her that if she keeps going in the right direction and making
00:19:52.614 --> 00:19:54.316
If she keeps going in the right direction and making the right choices each time
00:19:54.383 --> 00:19:56.118
Direction and making the right choices each time she feels that--you know,
00:19:56.184 --> 00:19:57.586
The right choices each time she feels that--you know, it's not--temptation is not sin.
00:19:57.653 --> 00:20:02.924
She feels that--you know, it's not--temptation is not sin. temptation is only sin
00:20:02.991 --> 00:20:05.027
It's not--temptation is not sin. temptation is only sin if you take the temptation
00:20:05.093 --> 00:20:07.095
Temptation is only sin if you take the temptation and go the wrong way with it.
00:20:07.162 --> 00:20:09.264
If you take the temptation and go the wrong way with it. and so because it's a weakness
00:20:09.331 --> 00:20:11.433
And go the wrong way with it. and so because it's a weakness for her, i'm sure that satan
00:20:11.500 --> 00:20:12.934
And so because it's a weakness for her, i'm sure that satan tries to tempt her with
00:20:13.001 --> 00:20:14.469
For her, i'm sure that satan tries to tempt her with it in a lot of situations.
00:20:14.536 --> 00:20:16.305
Tries to tempt her with it in a lot of situations. but saying, "no,"
00:20:16.371 --> 00:20:19.675
It in a lot of situations. but saying, "no," and saying, "no," out loud
00:20:19.741 --> 00:20:22.210
But saying, "no," and saying, "no," out loud is very helpful.
00:20:22.277 --> 00:20:23.312
And saying, "no," out loud is very helpful. we do have authority over satan.
00:20:23.378 --> 00:20:26.682
Is very helpful. we do have authority over satan. so you submit to god.
00:20:26.748 --> 00:20:30.118
We do have authority over satan. so you submit to god. "i don't wanna be jealous.
00:20:30.185 --> 00:20:31.987
So you submit to god. "i don't wanna be jealous. now, i resist you, satan,
00:20:32.054 --> 00:20:33.922
"i don't wanna be jealous. now, i resist you, satan, in jesus name, i refuse
00:20:33.989 --> 00:20:36.258
Now, i resist you, satan, in jesus name, i refuse to be jealous."
00:20:36.325 --> 00:20:37.759
In jesus name, i refuse to be jealous." >> ginger: yeah, that's good.
00:20:37.826 --> 00:20:39.861
To be jealous." >> ginger: yeah, that's good. sherry from arizona says,
00:20:39.928 --> 00:20:41.363
>> ginger: yeah, that's good. sherry from arizona says, "jealousy is a struggle for me.
00:20:41.430 --> 00:20:42.764
Sherry from arizona says, "jealousy is a struggle for me. i always want more and compare

"jealousy is a struggle for me. i always want more and compare my life against others.
00:20:44.866 --> 00:20:46.668
I always want more and compare my life against others. i see my jealousy.

My life against others. i see my jealousy. i try hard to make it leave me,
00:20:48.103 --> 00:20:49.538
I see my jealousy. i try hard to make it leave me, but it's always in my mind.
00:20:49.604 --> 00:20:51.006
I try hard to make it leave me, but it's always in my mind. how do i get these awful

Emotions off my heart and..." truly this is a key, "feel happiness for others

Truly this is a key, "feel happiness for others who i perceive have
00:20:57.679 --> 00:20:58.914
"feel happiness for others who i perceive have more than i have?"
00:20:58.980 --> 00:21:00.315
>> joyce: you know, nobody gets
00:21:00.749 --> 00:21:02.718
>> joyce: you know, nobody gets everything, but everybody
00:21:02.784 --> 00:21:05.153
>> joyce: you know, nobody gets everything, but everybody gets something.
00:21:05.220 --> 00:21:07.356
Everything, but everybody gets something. i think about rachel and leah.
00:21:07.422 --> 00:21:09.958
Gets something. i think about rachel and leah. and rachel was beautiful,
00:21:10.025 --> 00:21:13.929
I think about rachel and leah. and rachel was beautiful, but she couldn't bear children.
00:21:13.995 --> 00:21:16.665
And rachel was beautiful, but she couldn't bear children. leah, the bible says she had
00:21:16.732 --> 00:21:18.333
But she couldn't bear children. leah, the bible says she had weak eyes, which i think must
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:20.435
Leah, the bible says she had weak eyes, which i think must be a nice way of saying she
00:21:20.502 --> 00:21:22.838
Weak eyes, which i think must be a nice way of saying she wasn't very good looking.
00:21:22.904 --> 00:21:24.673
Be a nice way of saying she wasn't very good looking. but she could just have
00:21:24.740 --> 00:21:25.540
Wasn't very good looking. but she could just have baby after baby.
00:21:25.607 --> 00:21:27.175
But she could just have baby after baby. and so, i saw from that story
00:21:27.242 --> 00:21:29.911
That not everybody
00:21:29.978 --> 00:21:31.613
That not everybody gets everything, you know.
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:34.282
That not everybody gets everything, you know. the ideal situation would
00:21:34.349 --> 00:21:35.650
Gets everything, you know. the ideal situation would have been for rachel
00:21:35.717 --> 00:21:37.786
The ideal situation would have been for rachel to be beautiful and be able
00:21:37.853 --> 00:21:39.221
Have been for rachel to be beautiful and be able to bear children, or for leah
00:21:39.287 --> 00:21:41.390
To be beautiful and be able to bear children, or for leah to be beautiful and be able
00:21:41.456 --> 00:21:42.691
To bear children, or for leah to be beautiful and be able to bear children.
00:21:42.758 --> 00:21:43.692
To be beautiful and be able to bear children. but i don't have it all.
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:47.129
To bear children. but i don't have it all. you don't have it all.
00:21:47.195 --> 00:21:48.163
But i don't have it all. you don't have it all. there are lots of people
00:21:48.230 --> 00:21:49.297
You don't have it all. there are lots of people that can--i see some like
00:21:49.364 --> 00:21:51.633
There are lots of people that can--i see some like ministers, they can sing,
00:21:51.700 --> 00:21:53.034
That can--i see some like ministers, they can sing, they can play an instrument,
00:21:53.101 --> 00:21:54.202
Ministers, they can sing, they can play an instrument, they can preach.
00:21:54.269 --> 00:21:54.903
They can play an instrument, they can preach. and i'm like, you know, "i could
00:21:54.970 --> 00:21:57.773
They can preach. and i'm like, you know, "i could just be a one woman show
00:21:57.839 --> 00:21:59.708
And i'm like, you know, "i could just be a one woman show if i could do all that,"
00:21:59.775 --> 00:22:01.209
Just be a one woman show if i could do all that," but i can't and it's not
00:22:01.276 --> 00:22:03.145
If i could do all that," but i can't and it's not gonna happen.
00:22:03.211 --> 00:22:04.279
But i can't and it's not gonna happen. and so, we need to give
00:22:04.346 --> 00:22:05.414
Gonna happen. and so, we need to give ourselves to the things
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:06.548
And so, we need to give ourselves to the things that we're good at.
00:22:06.615 --> 00:22:08.950
Ourselves to the things that we're good at. and greed, you have
00:22:09.017 --> 00:22:11.987
That we're good at. and greed, you have to fight greed.
00:22:12.053 --> 00:22:13.522
And greed, you have to fight greed. and the way i fight greed--
00:22:13.588 --> 00:22:17.526
To fight greed. and the way i fight greed-- and i don't even really
00:22:17.592 --> 00:22:18.360
And the way i fight greed-- and i don't even really feel greedy.
00:22:18.427 --> 00:22:20.762
And i don't even really feel greedy. i'm sure there was a time
00:22:20.829 --> 00:22:21.763
Feel greedy. i'm sure there was a time that i did.
00:22:21.830 --> 00:22:22.431
I'm sure there was a time that i did. but i fight greed with
00:22:22.497 --> 00:22:24.232
That i did. but i fight greed with purposeful generosity.
00:22:24.299 --> 00:22:27.402
But i fight greed with purposeful generosity. i refuse to be greedy and always
00:22:27.469 --> 00:22:32.841
Purposeful generosity. i refuse to be greedy and always want more instead of being
00:22:32.908 --> 00:22:34.409
I refuse to be greedy and always want more instead of being thankful for what i have.
00:22:34.476 --> 00:22:35.844
Want more instead of being thankful for what i have. so i recommend studying
00:22:35.911 --> 00:22:39.114
Thankful for what i have. so i recommend studying the word in that area.
00:22:39.181 --> 00:22:41.716

Have scriptures and then just-- if you keep it up long enough, "the diligent," the bible says,
00:22:47.923 --> 00:22:49.658
If you keep it up long enough, "the diligent," the bible says, "will bear rule."

Believe me, i know from experience.

I know from experience. early on, my thoughts
00:24:07.869 --> 00:24:08.770
Early on, my thoughts did not line up with
00:24:08.837 --> 00:24:09.504
Did not line up with god's word, and i started
00:24:09.571 --> 00:24:10.939
God's word, and i started to believe the wrong things.
00:24:11.006 --> 00:24:12.674
To believe the wrong things. it took me a while to learn
00:24:12.741 --> 00:24:15.110
It took me a while to learn about these negative
00:24:15.176 --> 00:24:16.044
About these negative thoughts, and how harmful
00:24:16.111 --> 00:24:17.312
Thoughts, and how harmful they were to me.
00:24:17.379 --> 00:24:18.280
They were to me. god showed me that there are
00:24:18.346 --> 00:24:19.514
God showed me that there are thoughts to reject, and healthy
00:24:19.581 --> 00:24:21.416
Thoughts to reject, and healthy thoughts to embrace.
00:24:21.483 --> 00:24:22.517
