- 00:02:24.056 --> 00:02:25.457
- Topic for a little bit because there's-- you know, healing is not
- 00:02:25.524 --> 00:02:26.892
- Because there's-- you know, healing is not something that you hear
- 00:02:26.959 --> 00:02:27.826
- You know, healing is not something that you hear an answer and it's done,
- 00:02:27.893 --> 00:02:28.927
- Something that you hear an answer and it's done, you know.
- 00:02:28.994 --> 00:02:29.828
- An answer and it's done, you know. and god, of course,
- 00:02:29.895 --> 00:02:30.629
- You know. and god, of course, can do miracles.
- 00:02:30.696 --> 00:02:31.363
- And god, of course, can do miracles. he can work in that way,
- 00:02:31.430 --> 00:02:32.497
- Can do miracles. he can work in that way, but normally he walks
- 00:02:32.564 --> 00:02:34.366
- He can work in that way, but normally he walks us through a process,
- 00:02:34.433 --> 00:02:35.300
- But normally he walks us through a process, and we have to give
- 00:02:35.367 --> 00:02:36.201
- Us through a process, and we have to give ourself patience and time,
- 00:02:36.268 --> 00:02:37.903
- And we have to give ourself patience and time, because that's the only way
- 00:02:37.970 --> 00:02:40.639
- Ourself patience and time, because that's the only way that the healing really sticks.
- 00:02:40.706 --> 00:02:43.141
- Because that's the only way that the healing really sticks. and so, joyce,
- 00:02:43.208 --> 00:02:44.509
- That the healing really sticks. and so, joyce, you've been through
- 00:02:44.576 --> 00:02:45.978
- And so, joyce, you've been through this personally.
- 00:02:46.044 --> 00:02:46.712

- 00:02:47.946 --> 00:02:48.780
- You've shared about it. you've been such a huge part of sharing
- 00:02:48.847 --> 00:02:51.283

- 00:02:51.350 --> 00:02:52.251
- A huge part of sharing this important message in so many people's lives.
- 00:02:52.317 --> 00:02:53.919
- This important message in so many people's lives. >> joyce: there are so many
- 00:02:53.986 --> 00:02:54.987
- In so many people's lives. >> joyce: there are so many people that want to forgive.
- 00:02:55.053 --> 00:02:58.557
- >> joyce: there are so many people that want to forgive. they ask for prayer
- 00:02:58.624 --> 00:02:59.625
- People that want to forgive. they ask for prayer that they can forgive.
- 00:02:59.691 --> 00:03:01.660
- They ask for prayer that they can forgive. and then their
- 00:03:01.727 --> 00:03:03.061
- That they can forgive. and then their feelings don't change.
- 00:03:03.128 --> 00:03:04.329
- And then their feelings don't change. and it was so helpful
- 00:03:04.396 --> 00:03:06.965
- Feelings don't change. and it was so helpful for me to realize
- 00:03:07.032 --> 00:03:09.234
- And it was so helpful for me to realize that it's not a feeling;
- 00:03:09.301 --> 00:03:10.869
- For me to realize that it's not a feeling; it's a decision about how you're
- 00:03:10.936 --> 00:03:13.405
- That it's not a feeling; it's a decision about how you're gonna treat somebody.
- 00:03:13.472 --> 00:03:15.641
- It's a decision about how you're gonna treat somebody. and so, with my mom and dad,
- 00:03:15.707 --> 00:03:21.179
- Gonna treat somebody. and so, with my mom and dad, i did the "forgiveness prayer"
- 00:03:21.246 --> 00:03:22.814
- And so, with my mom and dad, i did the "forgiveness prayer" of the christian,
- 00:03:22.881 --> 00:03:23.448
- I did the "forgiveness prayer" of the christian, "i forgive you prayer."
- 00:03:23.515 --> 00:03:24.249
- Of the christian, "i forgive you prayer." but i didn't want
- 00:03:24.316 --> 00:03:25.350
- "i forgive you prayer." but i didn't want to be around 'em.
- 00:03:25.417 --> 00:03:27.185
- But i didn't want to be around 'em. didn't want to do
- 00:03:27.252 --> 00:03:27.819
- To be around 'em. didn't want to do anything for 'em.
- 00:03:27.886 --> 00:03:28.754
- Didn't want to do anything for 'em. saw 'em the very
- 00:03:28.820 --> 00:03:29.721
- Anything for 'em. saw 'em the very least that i could.
- 00:03:29.788 --> 00:03:31.156
- Saw 'em the very least that i could. and then, as they got older,
- 00:03:31.223 --> 00:03:34.693
- Least that i could. and then, as they got older, god asked me to move
- 00:03:34.760 --> 00:03:37.496
- And then, as they got older, god asked me to move them close to my home
- 00:03:37.562 --> 00:03:38.597

- 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:43.635
- And i rebuked the devil. i said, "that ain't god. god would not--"
- 00:03:43.702 --> 00:03:44.770

- 00:03:46.772 --> 00:03:47.773
- In our heart. >> joyce: i thought, "he would not ask me to do that."
- 00:03:47.839 --> 00:03:49.241
- >> joyce: i thought, "he would not ask me to do that." that's just ridiculous
- 00:03:49.308 --> 00:03:50.375
- Not ask me to do that." that's just ridiculous beyond even imagining.
- 00:03:50.442 --> 00:03:52.611
- That's just ridiculous beyond even imagining. but when something is god,
- 00:03:52.678 --> 00:03:55.213
- Beyond even imagining. but when something is god, it just doesn't go away.
- 00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:56.281
- But when something is god, it just doesn't go away. so, every time i would try
- 00:03:56.348 --> 00:03:57.849
- It just doesn't go away. so, every time i would try to pray, that same thing was
- 00:03:57.916 --> 00:03:59.851
- So, every time i would try to pray, that same thing was there, "well, why should
- 00:03:59.918 --> 00:04:00.752
- To pray, that same thing was there, "well, why should i spend my money on taking
- 00:04:00.819 --> 00:04:03.221
- There, "well, why should i spend my money on taking care of somebody who
- 00:04:03.288 --> 00:04:04.289
- I spend my money on taking care of somebody who never did anything for me?"
- 00:04:04.356 --> 00:04:05.757
- Care of somebody who never did anything for me?" and the only thing, i mean,
- 00:04:05.824 --> 00:04:07.959
- Never did anything for me?" and the only thing, i mean, god was cutting me no slack.
- 00:04:08.026 --> 00:04:09.227
- And the only thing, i mean, god was cutting me no slack. he said, "well, you're alive,
- 00:04:09.294 --> 00:04:10.262
- God was cutting me no slack. he said, "well, you're alive, aren't you?"
- 00:04:10.329 --> 00:04:13.932
- He said, "well, you're alive, aren't you?" they gave you, "you're here
- 00:04:13.999 --> 00:04:16.702
- Aren't you?" they gave you, "you're here because of the two of them."
- 00:04:16.768 --> 00:04:19.571
- They gave you, "you're here because of the two of them." and there was no apology.
- 00:04:19.638 --> 00:04:22.474
- Because of the two of them." and there was no apology. i was thinking about
- 00:04:22.541 --> 00:04:23.675
- And there was no apology. i was thinking about this the other night.
- 00:04:23.742 --> 00:04:25.911
- I was thinking about this the other night. we bought them a house,
- 00:04:25.977 --> 00:04:27.079
- This the other night. we bought them a house, we bought them a car,
- 00:04:27.145 --> 00:04:31.083
- We bought them a house, we bought them a car, we paid for their
- 00:04:31.149 --> 00:04:32.017
- We bought them a car, we paid for their lawn to be mowed,
- 00:04:32.084 --> 00:04:33.285
- We paid for their lawn to be mowed, we paid somebody
- 00:04:33.352 --> 00:04:33.985
- Lawn to be mowed, we paid somebody to get their groceries.
- 00:04:34.052 --> 00:04:35.721
- We paid somebody to get their groceries. and i always say this,
- 00:04:35.787 --> 00:04:38.256
- To get their groceries. and i always say this, and people laugh.
- 00:04:38.323 --> 00:04:40.025
- And i always say this, and people laugh. i guess it is funny,
- 00:04:40.092 --> 00:04:40.959
- And people laugh. i guess it is funny, but it's sad, i thought,
- 00:04:41.026 --> 00:04:43.028
- I guess it is funny, but it's sad, i thought, "yeah, i can do this for two,
- 00:04:43.095 --> 00:04:44.629
- But it's sad, i thought, "yeah, i can do this for two, three years," you know?
- 00:04:44.696 --> 00:04:46.498
- "yeah, i can do this for two, three years," you know? but my bloodline has longevity.
- 00:04:46.565 --> 00:04:49.368
- And this turned out
- 00:04:49.935 --> 00:04:50.802
- And this turned out to be a 13-year ordeal,
- 00:04:50.869 --> 00:04:54.606
- And this turned out to be a 13-year ordeal, and then they finally had
- 00:04:54.673 --> 00:04:55.607
- To be a 13-year ordeal, and then they finally had to go into assisted living care.
- 00:04:55.674 --> 00:04:58.710
- And then they finally had to go into assisted living care. and then from there,
- 00:04:58.777 --> 00:04:59.378
- To go into assisted living care. and then from there, they finally had to go
- 00:04:59.444 --> 00:05:00.145
- And then from there, they finally had to go to the nursing home.
- 00:05:00.212 --> 00:05:01.713
- They finally had to go to the nursing home. and i was taking care of my mom,
- 00:05:01.780 --> 00:05:05.250
- To the nursing home. and i was taking care of my mom, my dad, and my widowed aunt,
- 00:05:05.317 --> 00:05:06.985
- And i was taking care of my mom, my dad, and my widowed aunt, who was my mother's sister.
- 00:05:07.052 --> 00:05:08.286
- My dad, and my widowed aunt, who was my mother's sister. and not one of them ever
- 00:05:08.353 --> 00:05:10.555
- Who was my mother's sister. and not one of them ever looked at me and said,
- 00:05:10.622 --> 00:05:12.424
- And not one of them ever looked at me and said, "thank you for putting us here."
- 00:05:12.491 --> 00:05:15.127
- Looked at me and said, "thank you for putting us here." >> ginger: and here you are
- 00:05:15.193 --> 00:05:16.128
- "thank you for putting us here." >> ginger: and here you are thinking, "i'm caring for
- 00:05:16.194 --> 00:05:18.163
- >> ginger: and here you are thinking, "i'm caring for the very people who would
- 00:05:18.230 --> 00:05:20.365
- Not care for me when
- 00:05:20.432 --> 00:05:21.400
- Not care for me when i needed it most."
- 00:05:21.466 --> 00:05:23.068
- Not care for me when i needed it most." >> joyce: you can't do things...
- 00:05:23.135 --> 00:05:26.705
- I needed it most." >> joyce: you can't do things... you have to do them
- 00:05:26.772 --> 00:05:27.472
- >> joyce: you can't do things... you have to do them for the right reason.
- 00:05:27.539 --> 00:05:28.473
- You have to do them for the right reason. you do them because
- 00:05:28.540 --> 00:05:31.276
- For the right reason. you do them because it's what god wants you to do.
- 00:05:31.343 --> 00:05:32.411
- You do them because it's what god wants you to do. and i want everybody
- 00:05:32.477 --> 00:05:34.446
- It's what god wants you to do. and i want everybody to hear this.
- 00:05:34.513 --> 00:05:35.947
- And i want everybody to hear this. you can do the right thing
- 00:05:36.014 --> 00:05:38.617
- To hear this. you can do the right thing and not feel like doing it.
- 00:05:38.683 --> 00:05:40.519
- You can do the right thing and not feel like doing it. you don't have
- 00:05:40.585 --> 00:05:42.120
- And not feel like doing it. you don't have to feel like doing it.
- 00:05:42.187 --> 00:05:43.388
- You don't have to feel like doing it. matter of fact,
- 00:05:43.455 --> 00:05:44.022
- To feel like doing it. matter of fact, i think when you do the right
- 00:05:44.089 --> 00:05:45.857
- Matter of fact, i think when you do the right thing while you feel like
- 00:05:45.924 --> 00:05:47.559
- I think when you do the right thing while you feel like doing the wrong thing,
- 00:05:47.626 --> 00:05:49.060
- Thing while you feel like doing the wrong thing, that is spiritual growth.
- 00:05:49.127 --> 00:05:50.862
- Doing the wrong thing, that is spiritual growth. >> nona: that's worship.
- 00:05:50.929 --> 00:05:51.530
- That is spiritual growth. >> nona: that's worship. and that's so rich, joyce.
- 00:05:51.596 --> 00:05:54.099
- >> nona: that's worship. and that's so rich, joyce. like, it's recognizing who
- 00:05:54.166 --> 00:05:55.567
- And that's so rich, joyce. like, it's recognizing who you're doing it for.
- 00:05:55.634 --> 00:05:56.234
- Like, it's recognizing who you're doing it for. because everything
- 00:05:56.301 --> 00:05:57.169
- You're doing it for. because everything that we do is unto god.
- 00:05:57.235 --> 00:05:58.403
- Because everything that we do is unto god. and i think sometimes
- 00:05:58.470 --> 00:06:00.005
- That we do is unto god. and i think sometimes we get so focused
- 00:06:00.071 --> 00:06:00.839
- And i think sometimes we get so focused on the person that it's like,
- 00:06:00.906 --> 00:06:02.974
- We get so focused on the person that it's like, "well, i'm doing this for you."
- 00:06:03.041 --> 00:06:03.842
- On the person that it's like, "well, i'm doing this for you." it's like, "oh, no, no, no."
- 00:06:03.909 --> 00:06:04.743
- "well, i'm doing this for you." it's like, "oh, no, no, no." actually, i'm sowing seed.
- 00:06:04.810 --> 00:06:06.745
- It's like, "oh, no, no, no." actually, i'm sowing seed. and god has a principle
- 00:06:06.812 --> 00:06:08.713
- Actually, i'm sowing seed. and god has a principle on that seed.
- 00:06:08.780 --> 00:06:09.848
- And god has a principle on that seed. and so, it's like,
- 00:06:09.915 --> 00:06:11.349
- On that seed. and so, it's like, "okay, i'm gonna do this
- 00:06:11.416 --> 00:06:12.350
- And so, it's like, "okay, i'm gonna do this lord because i love you.
- 00:06:12.417 --> 00:06:13.418
- "okay, i'm gonna do this lord because i love you. this isn't about them."
- 00:06:13.485 --> 00:06:14.319
- I remember, as you were talking,
- 00:06:15.053 --> 00:06:16.188
- I remember, as you were talking, i was remembering a conversation
- 00:06:16.254 --> 00:06:17.289
- I remember, as you were talking, i was remembering a conversation i had with my mom once
- 00:06:17.355 --> 00:06:18.156
- I was remembering a conversation i had with my mom once where i was like,
- 00:06:18.223 --> 00:06:19.224
- I had with my mom once where i was like, i just wanted us to have
- 00:06:19.291 --> 00:06:20.091
- Where i was like, i just wanted us to have a mother-daughter relationship.
- 00:06:20.158 --> 00:06:21.259
- I just wanted us to have a mother-daughter relationship. and i was like,
- 00:06:21.326 --> 00:06:21.993
- A mother-daughter relationship. and i was like, "in order to do that,
- 00:06:22.060 --> 00:06:23.462
- And i was like, "in order to do that, we really have to talk about
- 00:06:23.528 --> 00:06:24.429
- "in order to do that, we really have to talk about what happened in my childhood,"
- 00:06:24.496 --> 00:06:25.297
- Because we never
- 00:06:25.363 --> 00:06:25.964
- Because we never talked about it.
- 00:06:26.031 --> 00:06:26.932
- Because we never talked about it. and she didn't wanna
- 00:06:26.998 --> 00:06:27.499
- Talked about it. and she didn't wanna talk about it at all.
- 00:06:27.566 --> 00:06:28.266
- And she didn't wanna talk about it at all. and as a matter of fact,
- 00:06:28.333 --> 00:06:29.167
- Talk about it at all. and as a matter of fact, she said, "well, it wouldn't
- 00:06:29.234 --> 00:06:30.302
- And as a matter of fact, she said, "well, it wouldn't have happened if you
- 00:06:30.368 --> 00:06:30.969
- She said, "well, it wouldn't have happened if you would have just kept
- 00:06:31.036 --> 00:06:32.404
- Have happened if you would have just kept your legs closed."
- 00:06:32.471 --> 00:06:33.038
- Would have just kept your legs closed." >> ginger: oh, my.
- 00:06:33.104 --> 00:06:33.705
- Your legs closed." >> ginger: oh, my. >> nona: that was
- 00:06:33.772 --> 00:06:34.339
- >> ginger: oh, my. >> nona: that was her explanation.
- 00:06:34.406 --> 00:06:34.973
- >> nona: that was her explanation. now, i give you that pretext,
- 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:36.374
- Her explanation. now, i give you that pretext, because fast forward,
- 00:06:36.441 --> 00:06:37.876
- Now, i give you that pretext, because fast forward, that was when i was maybe 22.
- 00:06:37.943 --> 00:06:41.446
- Because fast forward, that was when i was maybe 22. for years, i've had to support
- 00:06:41.513 --> 00:06:43.215
- That was when i was maybe 22. for years, i've had to support my mother financially.
- 00:06:43.281 --> 00:06:44.115
- For years, i've had to support my mother financially. for years.
- 00:06:44.182 --> 00:06:45.283
- My mother financially. for years. and at the same time,
- 00:06:45.350 --> 00:06:46.451
- For years. and at the same time, while that's happening,
- 00:06:46.518 --> 00:06:47.118
- And at the same time, while that's happening, i'm getting calls from
- 00:06:47.185 --> 00:06:48.386
- While that's happening, i'm getting calls from people saying, "why aren't you
- 00:06:48.453 --> 00:06:49.788
- I'm getting calls from people saying, "why aren't you taking care of your mom?
- 00:06:49.855 --> 00:06:50.722
- People saying, "why aren't you taking care of your mom? and your mom's struggling
- 00:06:50.789 --> 00:06:52.157
- Taking care of your mom? and your mom's struggling and you're not doing
- 00:06:52.224 --> 00:06:52.824
- And your mom's struggling and you're not doing anything for her."
- 00:06:52.891 --> 00:06:53.458
- And you're not doing anything for her." so, she's telling these
- 00:06:53.525 --> 00:06:54.092
- Anything for her." so, she's telling these people all these lies, right?
- 00:06:54.159 --> 00:06:55.060
- So, she's telling these people all these lies, right? but god in that was
- 00:06:55.126 --> 00:06:57.362
- People all these lies, right? but god in that was building character.
- 00:06:57.429 --> 00:06:57.929
- But god in that was building character. because it was like,
- 00:06:57.996 --> 00:06:59.097
- Building character. because it was like, "who are you doing it for?"
- 00:06:59.164 --> 00:07:00.198
- Because it was like, "who are you doing it for?" because if i was
- 00:07:00.265 --> 00:07:00.932
- "who are you doing it for?" because if i was doing it for her,
- 00:07:00.999 --> 00:07:02.234
- Because if i was doing it for her, i guarantee you them checks
- 00:07:02.300 --> 00:07:03.201
- Doing it for her, i guarantee you them checks would have been cut off.
- 00:07:03.268 --> 00:07:04.503
- I guarantee you them checks would have been cut off. but it was like, "no,
- 00:07:04.569 --> 00:07:05.871
- Would have been cut off. but it was like, "no, i'm doing this as unto the lord.
- 00:07:05.937 --> 00:07:07.572
- But it was like, "no, i'm doing this as unto the lord. and god, you've given
- 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:08.507
- I'm doing this as unto the lord. and god, you've given me the resources
- 00:07:08.573 --> 00:07:09.140
- And god, you've given me the resources to be able to do this.
- 00:07:09.207 --> 00:07:10.008
- Me the resources to be able to do this. and you've given me the grace

- To be able to have peace even when i'm being slandered." >> ginger: so, what did
- 00:07:15.447 --> 00:07:16.114
- When i'm being slandered." >> ginger: so, what did that do for you?
- 00:07:16.181 --> 00:07:16.915
- >> ginger: so, what did that do for you? i mean, because, obviously,
- 00:07:16.982 --> 00:07:18.383
- That do for you? i mean, because, obviously, it had to be so hard.
- 00:07:18.450 --> 00:07:20.652
- I mean, because, obviously, it had to be so hard. and god doesn't ask
- 00:07:20.719 --> 00:07:22.854
- It had to be so hard. and god doesn't ask us to do what--
- 00:07:22.921 --> 00:07:24.055
- And god doesn't ask us to do what-- when we honor that,
- 00:07:24.122 --> 00:07:25.957
- Us to do what-- when we honor that, god honors us for it, so--
- 00:07:26.024 --> 00:07:27.492
- When we honor that, god honors us for it, so-- >> nona: well, i will
- 00:07:27.559 --> 00:07:28.927
- God honors us for it, so-- >> nona: well, i will tell you this,
- 00:07:28.994 --> 00:07:29.828
- >> nona: well, i will tell you this, i know that it has built
- 00:07:29.895 --> 00:07:31.263
- Tell you this, i know that it has built a pastor's heart in me.
- 00:07:31.329 --> 00:07:33.064
- I know that it has built a pastor's heart in me. because what people don't
- 00:07:33.131 --> 00:07:34.065
- A pastor's heart in me. because what people don't realize is pastoring is hard.
- 00:07:34.132 --> 00:07:36.735
- Because what people don't realize is pastoring is hard. because you give
- 00:07:36.801 --> 00:07:39.004
- Realize is pastoring is hard. because you give all that you can,
- 00:07:39.070 --> 00:07:40.071
- Because you give all that you can, you give all that you have.
- 00:07:40.138 --> 00:07:41.306
- All that you can, you give all that you have. and sometimes
- 00:07:41.373 --> 00:07:42.140
- You give all that you have. and sometimes people will take it all,
- 00:07:42.207 --> 00:07:43.241
- And sometimes people will take it all, and walk away.
- 00:07:43.308 --> 00:07:44.609
- People will take it all, and walk away. and it can be so hurtful.
- 00:07:44.676 --> 00:07:46.611
- And walk away. and it can be so hurtful. but i think what god was doing
- 00:07:46.678 --> 00:07:48.213
- And it can be so hurtful. but i think what god was doing is he was building a pastor's
- 00:07:48.280 --> 00:07:49.481
- But i think what god was doing is he was building a pastor's heart in me to where now--

- Heart in me to where now-- i even had a situation on my team the other day
- 00:07:51.550 --> 00:07:52.350
- I even had a situation on my team the other day where an employee was doing
- 00:07:52.417 --> 00:07:53.618
- On my team the other day where an employee was doing something i didn't appreciate.
- 00:07:53.685 --> 00:07:55.120
- Where an employee was doing something i didn't appreciate. and i was gonna lay
- 00:07:55.186 --> 00:07:56.288
- Something i didn't appreciate. and i was gonna lay into them and all that.
- 00:07:56.354 --> 00:07:57.455
- And i was gonna lay into them and all that. but as i was praying about it,
- 00:07:57.522 --> 00:07:58.557
- Into them and all that. but as i was praying about it, the lord said,
- 00:07:58.623 --> 00:07:59.791
- But as i was praying about it, the lord said, "he needs pastoring."
- 00:07:59.858 --> 00:08:01.493
- The lord said, "he needs pastoring." the lord showed
- 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:02.193

- 00:08:03.628 --> 00:08:04.329
- Me there were some mental and emotional things that were happening with him that
- 00:08:04.396 --> 00:08:05.664
- And emotional things that were happening with him that normally i wouldn't have,
- 00:08:05.730 --> 00:08:06.765
- Were happening with him that normally i wouldn't have, to be honest with you,
- 00:08:06.831 --> 00:08:07.599
- Normally i wouldn't have, to be honest with you, i wouldn't care two cents about.
- 00:08:07.666 --> 00:08:08.900
- To be honest with you, i wouldn't care two cents about. but because of what
- 00:08:08.967 --> 00:08:10.068
- I wouldn't care two cents about. but because of what god was working in me,
- 00:08:10.135 --> 00:08:11.703
- But because of what god was working in me, it softened my heart.
- 00:08:11.770 --> 00:08:13.071
- God was working in me, it softened my heart. and so, i think that's
- 00:08:13.138 --> 00:08:14.272
- It softened my heart. and so, i think that's honestly the reward.
- 00:08:14.339 --> 00:08:15.040
- And so, i think that's honestly the reward. it's not even the stuff.
- 00:08:15.106 --> 00:08:16.408

- It's not even the stuff. when i thank god for trusting me with platform, influence.
- 00:08:17.943 --> 00:08:19.611
- When i thank god for trusting me with platform, influence. that's great.
- 00:08:19.678 --> 00:08:20.278
- Me with platform, influence. that's great. but the reality is i thank

- Because that matters the most. >> joyce: to be able to forgive is such a gift.
- 00:08:25.450 --> 00:08:27.986
- >> joyce: to be able to forgive is such a gift. i don't think that people
- 00:08:28.053 --> 00:08:28.920
- To forgive is such a gift. i don't think that people realize what a gift god
- 00:08:28.987 --> 00:08:31.289
- I don't think that people realize what a gift god has given us in giving
- 00:08:31.356 --> 00:08:34.526
- Realize what a gift god has given us in giving us the grace to forgive people.
- 00:08:34.593 --> 00:08:37.596
- Has given us in giving us the grace to forgive people. we couldn't possibly
- 00:08:37.662 --> 00:08:38.563
- Us the grace to forgive people. we couldn't possibly do it if he didn't give
- 00:08:38.630 --> 00:08:40.332
- We couldn't possibly do it if he didn't give us the grace to do it.
- 00:08:40.398 --> 00:08:42.767
- Do it if he didn't give us the grace to do it. and i remember my mother,
- 00:08:42.834 --> 00:08:46.605
- Us the grace to do it. and i remember my mother, she was riding with me one
- 00:08:46.671 --> 00:08:47.639
- And i remember my mother, she was riding with me one day in the car and she said,
- 00:08:47.706 --> 00:08:52.310
- She was riding with me one day in the car and she said, "i'm wanna ask you how
- 00:08:52.377 --> 00:08:53.211
- Day in the car and she said, "i'm wanna ask you how you feel about me."
- 00:08:53.278 --> 00:08:54.412
- "i'm wanna ask you how you feel about me." and i thought, "well,
- 00:08:54.479 --> 00:08:56.414
- You feel about me." and i thought, "well, i'm not gonna lie to her."
- 00:08:56.481 --> 00:08:57.282
- And i thought, "well, i'm not gonna lie to her." and so, i just told her, i said,
- 00:08:57.349 --> 00:08:59.284
- I'm not gonna lie to her." and so, i just told her, i said, "you know what, mom?"
- 00:08:59.351 --> 00:09:00.118
- And so, i just told her, i said, "you know what, mom?" i said, "i don't love you
- 00:09:00.185 --> 00:09:02.787
- "you know what, mom?" i said, "i don't love you like a mother should
- 00:09:02.854 --> 00:09:03.855
- I said, "i don't love you like a mother should love a daughter--
- 00:09:03.922 --> 00:09:04.856
- Like a mother should love a daughter-- i mean, like a daughter should
- 00:09:04.923 --> 00:09:05.757
- Love a daughter-- i mean, like a daughter should love a mother because you
- 00:09:05.824 --> 00:09:08.259
- I mean, like a daughter should love a mother because you didn't really mother me.
- 00:09:08.326 --> 00:09:10.228
- Love a mother because you didn't really mother me. but i love you
- 00:09:10.295 --> 00:09:11.429
- Didn't really mother me. but i love you as a child of god,

- As a child of god, and i will always make sure that you're taken care of.
- 00:09:14.165 --> 00:09:15.567
- And i will always make sure that you're taken care of. because god has asked
- 00:09:15.634 --> 00:09:16.601
- That you're taken care of. because god has asked me to do that."
- 00:09:16.668 --> 00:09:17.302

- 00:09:18.269 --> 00:09:20.372
- And the bible says that, you know, "you're worse
- 00:09:20.438 --> 00:09:21.039

- You know, "you're worse than an infidel if you don't help your own relatives."
- 00:09:22.307 --> 00:09:24.142
- Than an infidel if you don't help your own relatives." and it doesn't say
- 00:09:24.209 --> 00:09:24.909
- Help your own relatives." and it doesn't say if they've been good to you,
- 00:09:24.976 --> 00:09:26.277
- And it doesn't say if they've been good to you, if they've been kind to you.

- And i think-- this is the way i looked at it. i believe that when you forgive,
- 00:09:35.286 --> 00:09:37.088
- This is the way i looked at it. i believe that when you forgive, it increases the anointing
- 00:09:37.155 --> 00:09:39.524

- The anointing on your life. and i think probably taking care of them all those years
- 00:09:47.899 --> 00:09:49.934
- And i think probably taking care of them all those years was the single greatest
- 00:09:50.001 --> 00:09:51.469
- Care of them all those years was the single greatest thing that god has
- 00:09:51.536 --> 00:09:52.137

- 00:10:06.951 --> 00:10:07.919

- This is happening to." and see, there are so many people watching us that,
- 00:12:50.582 --> 00:12:51.950
- And see, there are so many people watching us that, maybe it wasn't this,
- 00:12:52.016 --> 00:12:53.051

- It's like you said, in the beginning,
- 00:12:59.224 --> 00:12:59.791
- It's like you said, in the beginning, everybody's got a story;
- 00:12:59.858 --> 00:13:01.693
- In the beginning, everybody's got a story; and their story is just
- 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:03.328
- Everybody's got a story; and their story is just as important to them
- 00:13:03.394 --> 00:13:04.796
- And their story is just as important to them as ours is to us.
- 00:13:04.863 --> 00:13:06.798
- As important to them as ours is to us. and the same guidelines apply.
- 00:13:06.865 --> 00:13:09.400

- 00:13:16.441 --> 00:13:17.408
- You know, maybe you fouled your own life up and you're the one that
- 00:13:17.475 --> 00:13:18.576
- Fouled your own life up and you're the one that did a bunch of stuff that
- 00:13:18.643 --> 00:13:19.544
- Up and you're the one that did a bunch of stuff that you shouldn't have done.
- 00:13:19.611 --> 00:13:22.447
- Did a bunch of stuff that you shouldn't have done. god forgives.
- 00:13:22.513 --> 00:13:23.514
- You shouldn't have done. god forgives. but you really can't
- 00:13:23.581 --> 00:13:26.718
- God forgives. but you really can't forgive yourself.
- 00:13:26.784 --> 00:13:27.752
- But you really can't forgive yourself. but in receiving god's love,
- 00:13:27.819 --> 00:13:30.722
- You do forgive yourself.
- 00:13:30.788 --> 00:13:32.190
- You do forgive yourself. >> nona: that's so good.
- 00:13:32.257 --> 00:13:33.024
- You do forgive yourself. >> nona: that's so good. >> joyce: and that's just
- 00:13:33.091 --> 00:13:34.158
- >> nona: that's so good. >> joyce: and that's just as important as forgiving
- 00:13:34.225 --> 00:13:35.426
- >> joyce: and that's just as important as forgiving other people.
- 00:13:35.493 --> 00:13:36.060
- As important as forgiving other people. >> nona: yeah, i once heard--
- 00:13:36.127 --> 00:13:38.630
- Other people. >> nona: yeah, i once heard-- because we tend to talk
- 00:13:38.696 --> 00:13:39.397
- >> nona: yeah, i once heard-- because we tend to talk about guilt and shame like
- 00:13:39.464 --> 00:13:40.398
- Because we tend to talk about guilt and shame like they're the same thing.
- 00:13:40.465 --> 00:13:41.132
- About guilt and shame like they're the same thing. but i once heard them
- 00:13:41.199 --> 00:13:41.933
- They're the same thing. but i once heard them defined as guilt is the idea,
- 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:43.401
- But i once heard them defined as guilt is the idea, i made a mistake.
- 00:13:43.468 --> 00:13:44.602
- Defined as guilt is the idea, i made a mistake. shame is the idea,
- 00:13:44.669 --> 00:13:45.303
- I made a mistake. shame is the idea, i am a mistake.
- 00:13:45.370 --> 00:13:46.104
- Shame is the idea, i am a mistake. and so, i think a lot of people,
- 00:13:46.170 --> 00:13:48.806
- I am a mistake. and so, i think a lot of people, even those who are listening
- 00:13:48.873 --> 00:13:49.741
- And so, i think a lot of people, even those who are listening to this are probably just--
- 00:13:49.807 --> 00:13:51.276
- Even those who are listening to this are probably just-- you don't even realize that
- 00:13:51.342 --> 00:13:52.944
- To this are probably just-- you don't even realize that you're carrying shame,
- 00:13:53.011 --> 00:13:53.845
- You don't even realize that you're carrying shame, but it's this sense that life
- 00:13:53.912 --> 00:13:56.681
- You're carrying shame, but it's this sense that life would have been better.
- 00:13:56.748 --> 00:13:57.782
- But it's this sense that life would have been better. >> joyce: that was a real
- 00:13:57.849 --> 00:13:58.683
- Would have been better. >> joyce: that was a real revelation for me.
- 00:13:58.750 --> 00:13:59.684
- >> joyce: that was a real revelation for me. like brought me into
- 00:13:59.751 --> 00:14:00.985
- Revelation for me. like brought me into a deeper level of healing.
- 00:14:01.052 --> 00:14:03.388
- Like brought me into a deeper level of healing. because it's one thing
- 00:14:03.454 --> 00:14:05.256
- A deeper level of healing. because it's one thing to be ashamed of what's
- 00:14:05.323 --> 00:14:06.157
- Because it's one thing to be ashamed of what's happening to you,
- 00:14:06.224 --> 00:14:07.759
- To be ashamed of what's happening to you, it's another thing
- 00:14:07.825 --> 00:14:08.726
- Happening to you, it's another thing to be ashamed of yourself
- 00:14:08.793 --> 00:14:11.262
- It's another thing to be ashamed of yourself because it's happening to you.
- 00:14:11.329 --> 00:14:12.463
- To be ashamed of yourself because it's happening to you. >> nona: yes, and for years,
- 00:14:12.530 --> 00:14:15.099
- Because it's happening to you. >> nona: yes, and for years, like i think about my marriage--
- 00:14:15.166 --> 00:14:16.367
- >> nona: yes, and for years, like i think about my marriage-- my husband and i,
- 00:14:16.434 --> 00:14:17.068
- Like i think about my marriage-- my husband and i, we'd been married
- 00:14:17.135 --> 00:14:17.702
- My husband and i, we'd been married 20 years at this point,
- 00:14:17.769 --> 00:14:19.270
- We'd been married 20 years at this point, and i didn't tell him for years
- 00:14:19.337 --> 00:14:20.405
- 20 years at this point, and i didn't tell him for years what happened to me.
- 00:14:20.471 --> 00:14:22.173
- And i didn't tell him for years what happened to me. because i thought that what
- 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:23.474
- What happened to me. because i thought that what happened to me made
- 00:14:23.541 --> 00:14:24.542
- Because i thought that what happened to me made me damaged goods.
- 00:14:24.609 --> 00:14:25.376
- Happened to me made me damaged goods. and i carried
- 00:14:25.443 --> 00:14:26.311
- Me damaged goods. and i carried the weight of that like,
- 00:14:26.377 --> 00:14:27.445
- And i carried the weight of that like, "no one can ever find out.
- 00:14:27.512 --> 00:14:28.513
- The weight of that like, "no one can ever find out. i'm not gonna tell anybody."
- 00:14:28.579 --> 00:14:29.580
- But i will say, joyce,
- 00:14:30.214 --> 00:14:31.082
- But i will say, joyce, part of your ministry
- 00:14:31.149 --> 00:14:32.517
- But i will say, joyce, part of your ministry that's been such a blessing
- 00:14:32.583 --> 00:14:33.351
- Part of your ministry that's been such a blessing to me is you were
- 00:14:33.418 --> 00:14:34.852
- That's been such a blessing to me is you were probably the first
- 00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:35.520
- To me is you were probably the first person i ever heard say,
- 00:14:35.586 --> 00:14:38.222
- Probably the first person i ever heard say, "this thing happened to me."
- 00:14:38.289 --> 00:14:40.258
- And i remember,
- 00:14:40.325 --> 00:14:40.992
- And i remember, even being young in ministry,
- 00:14:41.059 --> 00:14:43.261
- And i remember, even being young in ministry, and hearing that and being like,
- 00:14:43.328 --> 00:14:45.863
- Even being young in ministry, and hearing that and being like, "well, if that happened to her,
- 00:14:45.930 --> 00:14:48.166
- And hearing that and being like, "well, if that happened to her, but look at what god
- 00:14:48.232 --> 00:14:48.900
- "well, if that happened to her, but look at what god has done in her life,
- 00:14:48.967 --> 00:14:49.934
- But look at what god has done in her life, maybe that's possible for me."
- 00:14:50.001 --> 00:14:51.736
- Has done in her life, maybe that's possible for me." >> joyce: i think i was one
- 00:14:51.803 --> 00:14:52.770
- Maybe that's possible for me." >> joyce: i think i was one of the first people to start
- 00:14:52.837 --> 00:14:54.672
- >> joyce: i think i was one of the first people to start talking about this publicly.
- 00:14:54.739 --> 00:14:57.041
- Of the first people to start talking about this publicly. and i hope and pray that it has
- 00:14:57.108 --> 00:14:59.110
- Talking about this publicly. and i hope and pray that it has really helped a lot of people,
- 00:14:59.177 --> 00:15:01.112
- And i hope and pray that it has really helped a lot of people, because i hate it when people
- 00:15:01.179 --> 00:15:03.214
- Really helped a lot of people, because i hate it when people think that they just have
- 00:15:03.281 --> 00:15:04.482
- Because i hate it when people think that they just have to put up with what--the shame
- 00:15:04.549 --> 00:15:09.554
- Think that they just have to put up with what--the shame and the blame of what
- 00:15:09.620 --> 00:15:10.388
- To put up with what--the shame and the blame of what somebody else did to them.
- 00:15:10.455 --> 00:15:12.190
- And the blame of what somebody else did to them. you know, when the israelites,
- 00:15:12.256 --> 00:15:14.659
- Somebody else did to them. you know, when the israelites, when they were gonna
- 00:15:14.726 --> 00:15:16.928
- You know, when the israelites, when they were gonna march around jericho,
- 00:15:16.995 --> 00:15:18.029
- When they were gonna march around jericho, the walls were gonna fall.
- 00:15:18.096 --> 00:15:19.063
- March around jericho, the walls were gonna fall. prior to that,
- 00:15:19.130 --> 00:15:19.764
- The walls were gonna fall. prior to that, joshua said that they
- 00:15:19.831 --> 00:15:26.104
- Prior to that, joshua said that they needed to cleanse themself
- 00:15:26.170 --> 00:15:27.972
- Joshua said that they needed to cleanse themself and "roll away the reproach"
- 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.142
- Needed to cleanse themself and "roll away the reproach" because they were going
- 00:15:31.209 --> 00:15:33.111
- And "roll away the reproach" because they were going to enter the promised land
- 00:15:33.177 --> 00:15:34.579
- Because they were going to enter the promised land and they couldn't go in with
- 00:15:34.645 --> 00:15:35.446
- To enter the promised land and they couldn't go in with that reproach.
- 00:15:35.513 --> 00:15:36.180
- And they couldn't go in with that reproach. and if you look up the word
- 00:15:36.247 --> 00:15:37.181
- That reproach. and if you look up the word "reproach," it means: shame,
- 00:15:37.248 --> 00:15:38.916
- And if you look up the word "reproach," it means: shame, blame, and guilt.
- 00:15:38.983 --> 00:15:40.351
- "reproach," it means: shame, blame, and guilt. >> ginger: yeah.
- 00:15:40.418 --> 00:15:40.985
- Blame, and guilt. >> ginger: yeah. >> nona: you know
- 00:15:41.052 --> 00:15:41.652
- >> ginger: yeah. >> nona: you know what's interesting?
- 00:15:41.719 --> 00:15:42.320
- >> nona: you know what's interesting? i've had people ask me,
- 00:15:42.387 --> 00:15:43.287
- What's interesting? i've had people ask me, because i've written about
- 00:15:43.354 --> 00:15:44.455
- I've had people ask me, because i've written about my story, like it's out there.
- 00:15:44.522 --> 00:15:46.124
- Because i've written about my story, like it's out there. i've had people say,
- 00:15:46.190 --> 00:15:47.025
- My story, like it's out there. i've had people say, "how can you be so transparent?
- 00:15:47.091 --> 00:15:48.559
- I've had people say, "how can you be so transparent? i could never do that."
- 00:15:48.626 --> 00:15:49.694
- "how can you be so transparent? i could never do that." and then people will say,
- 00:15:49.761 --> 00:15:50.828
- I could never do that." and then people will say, "well, have you
- 00:15:50.895 --> 00:15:51.529
- And then people will say, "well, have you gone to therapy?"
- 00:15:51.596 --> 00:15:52.263
- "well, have you gone to therapy?" >> [joyce chuckling]
- 00:15:52.330 --> 00:15:52.930
- Gone to therapy?" >> [joyce chuckling] >> nona: no.
- 00:15:52.997 --> 00:15:53.598
- >> [joyce chuckling] >> nona: no. like honestly,
- 00:15:53.664 --> 00:15:55.299
- >> nona: no. like honestly, what has healed
- 00:15:55.366 --> 00:15:56.467
- Like honestly, what has healed me is telling my story.
- 00:15:56.534 --> 00:15:57.902
- What has healed me is telling my story. and i find a way,
- 00:15:57.969 --> 00:15:59.570
- Me is telling my story. and i find a way, in almost every message,
- 00:15:59.637 --> 00:16:01.372
- And i find a way, in almost every message, to lift that up because
- 00:16:01.439 --> 00:16:03.908
- In almost every message, to lift that up because what i believe is that
- 00:16:03.975 --> 00:16:05.009
- To lift that up because what i believe is that shame is like mold.
- 00:16:05.076 --> 00:16:06.244
- What i believe is that shame is like mold. it grows in the dark.
- 00:16:06.310 --> 00:16:07.045
- Shame is like mold. it grows in the dark. and so, it's what we don't
- 00:16:07.111 --> 00:16:08.713
- It grows in the dark. and so, it's what we don't say that ends up having
- 00:16:08.780 --> 00:16:10.348
- And so, it's what we don't say that ends up having power over us.
- 00:16:10.415 --> 00:16:11.249
- Say that ends up having power over us. and so, my healing has truly
- 00:16:11.315 --> 00:16:13.584
- Power over us. and so, my healing has truly come through allowing
- 00:16:13.651 --> 00:16:14.485
- And so, my healing has truly come through allowing the light of jesus to be shined
- 00:16:14.552 --> 00:16:16.320
- Come through allowing the light of jesus to be shined on the part of my life
- 00:16:16.387 --> 00:16:17.889
- The light of jesus to be shined on the part of my life that i would much rather
- 00:16:17.955 --> 00:16:19.023
- On the part of my life that i would much rather have just kept hidden.
- 00:16:19.090 --> 00:16:20.091
- That i would much rather have just kept hidden. but if i did that,
- 00:16:20.158 --> 00:16:21.592
- Have just kept hidden. but if i did that, i would be in bondage.
- 00:16:21.659 --> 00:16:22.460
- But if i did that, i would be in bondage. >> joyce: it's our secrets
- 00:16:22.527 --> 00:16:23.594
- I would be in bondage. >> joyce: it's our secrets that make us sick.
- 00:16:23.661 --> 00:16:24.862
- >> joyce: it's our secrets that make us sick. it's not the things
- 00:16:24.929 --> 00:16:25.763
- That make us sick. it's not the things that you open up.
- 00:16:25.830 --> 00:16:27.799

- Wanna be friends with joyce if you don't want everybody knowing everything about you,"
- 00:16:37.175 --> 00:16:38.976
- If you don't want everybody knowing everything about you," because i'll probably tell

- Knowing everything about you," because i'll probably tell it unless you tell me not to.
- 00:16:40.812 --> 00:16:41.879

- Any big deal or anything, but she'll say, "now, don't share this."

- And when we can open the door to secrets,
- 00:17:21.652 --> 00:17:23.488
- And when we can open the door to secrets, then it really opens
- 00:17:23.554 --> 00:17:24.388
- The door to secrets, then it really opens the door to healing
- 00:17:24.455 --> 00:17:25.123
- Then it really opens the door to healing to flow in at the same time.
- 00:17:25.189 --> 00:17:27.158
- The door to healing to flow in at the same time. the dirt, the shame,

- To flow in at the same time. the dirt, the shame, the disgust with ourselves,

- Is coming in and healing us. >> joyce: one of the reasons why people don't wanna tell
- 00:17:38.603 --> 00:17:39.670
- >> joyce: one of the reasons why people don't wanna tell anybody is because there's
- 00:17:39.737 --> 00:17:40.438
- Why people don't wanna tell anybody is because there's so few people that you can
- 00:17:40.505 --> 00:17:44.976
- Anybody is because there's so few people that you can trust with your secrets.
- 00:17:45.042 --> 00:17:46.344

- Us something private, that we shouldn't even need to be told,
- 00:17:55.219 --> 00:17:56.521
- That we shouldn't even need to be told, "don't tell it."
- 00:17:56.587 --> 00:17:57.255
- Even need to be told, "don't tell it." you just don't tell it unless

- "don't tell it." you just don't tell it unless they've told you to tell it.
- 00:17:59.957 --> 00:18:00.992
- You just don't tell it unless they've told you to tell it. and we need to be more faithful

- 00:18:13.371 --> 00:18:14.372
- That it's a ripple effect. when we are willing to be vulnerable and share
- 00:18:14.438 --> 00:18:15.640
- When we are willing to be vulnerable and share our story, then that gives
- 00:18:15.706 --> 00:18:17.608
- To be vulnerable and share our story, then that gives somebody else the--
- 00:18:17.675 --> 00:18:20.511
- Our story, then that gives somebody else the-- almost like a power inside
- 00:18:20.578 --> 00:18:21.445
- Somebody else the-- almost like a power inside of themselves to share
- 00:18:21.512 --> 00:18:22.914
- Almost like a power inside of themselves to share their own story.
- 00:18:22.980 --> 00:18:23.681
- Of themselves to share their own story. and look at what you have done
- 00:18:23.748 --> 00:18:25.716
- Their own story. and look at what you have done to so many of us who feel
- 00:18:25.783 --> 00:18:28.085
- And look at what you have done to so many of us who feel confident to share because

- It's almost like i'm talking about somebody i used
- 00:18:43.267 --> 00:18:44.068
- It's almost like i'm talking about somebody i used to know a long time ago.

- 00:18:52.243 --> 00:18:53.644
- The power of our testimony, how we are overcomers. and i think that's honestly,
- 00:18:53.711 --> 00:18:54.979
- How we are overcomers. and i think that's honestly, why the enemy intimidates
- 00:18:55.046 --> 00:18:56.714
- And i think that's honestly, why the enemy intimidates us into silence.
- 00:18:56.781 --> 00:18:58.416
- Why the enemy intimidates us into silence. and one of the tactics
- 00:18:58.482 --> 00:18:59.750
- Us into silence. and one of the tactics that he's used, and he's even
- 00:18:59.817 --> 00:19:01.118

- Let me tell you something. when i got over that, i believe that that's when
- 00:19:07.391 --> 00:19:08.893
- When i got over that, i believe that that's when the floodgates opened
- 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:10.828
- I believe that that's when the floodgates opened in my own life in ministry,
- 00:19:10.895 --> 00:19:12.230
- The floodgates opened in my own life in ministry, is when i got over being
- 00:19:12.296 --> 00:19:13.698
- In my own life in ministry, is when i got over being concerned about what people
- 00:19:13.764 --> 00:19:14.932

- 00:19:14.999 --> 00:19:15.666
- Concerned about what people are gonna say and gonna think and all that, it's like,
- 00:19:15.733 --> 00:19:16.834
- Are gonna say and gonna think and all that, it's like, "you know what, devil?
- 00:19:16.901 --> 00:19:18.236
- Think and all that, it's like, "you know what, devil? you have no authority

- "you know what, devil? you have no authority in my life.
- 00:19:19.870 --> 00:19:20.471
- You have no authority in my life. you are the keeper of secrets.

- Calls you to do. but if god gives you the opportunity to do that, man!
- 00:19:34.719 --> 00:19:36.988
- But if god gives you the opportunity to do that, man! there are some people
- 00:19:37.054 --> 00:19:37.755
- The opportunity to do that, man! there are some people in this world--i believe this,

- And they'll be unmoved. but if they hear your voice, it'll break something in them,
- 00:19:52.236 --> 00:19:53.904
- But if they hear your voice, it'll break something in them, and we have to let god use that.

- And it tells you that as hard as it is--
- 00:20:23.301 --> 00:20:24.302
- And it tells you that as hard as it is-- 'cause it's painful.
- 00:20:24.368 --> 00:20:25.636
- As hard as it is-- 'cause it's painful. healing is a painful
- 00:20:25.703 --> 00:20:26.904
- 'cause it's painful. healing is a painful process sometimes.
- 00:20:26.971 --> 00:20:28.539
- Healing is a painful process sometimes. but if we hold on and we move
- 00:20:28.606 --> 00:20:31.342
- Process sometimes. but if we hold on and we move forward and we allow god
- 00:20:31.409 --> 00:20:32.677
- But if we hold on and we move forward and we allow god to do what he wants to do,

- There's so much good ahead in all of that. >> joyce: you know, we always
- 00:20:37.381 --> 00:20:38.215
- In all of that. >> joyce: you know, we always say that healing is painful,
- 00:20:38.282 --> 00:20:39.717

- 00:20:39.784 --> 00:20:41.519
- Say that healing is painful, and it is, but it's not nearly as painful as hanging on to.
- 00:20:41.585 --> 00:20:43.988
- And it is, but it's not nearly as painful as hanging on to. >> ginger: that is very true.
- 00:20:44.055 --> 00:20:45.056
- As painful as hanging on to. >> ginger: that is very true. that is so true.
- 00:20:45.122 --> 00:20:46.390
- >> ginger: that is very true. that is so true. >> joyce: because at least
- 00:20:46.457 --> 00:20:47.158
- That is so true. >> joyce: because at least the pain of healing is bringing
- 00:20:47.224 --> 00:20:48.759
- >> joyce: because at least the pain of healing is bringing you into a better place.
- 00:20:48.826 --> 00:20:50.928
- The pain of healing is bringing you into a better place. the pain of just
- 00:20:50.995 --> 00:20:52.463
- You into a better place. the pain of just continuing to hide,
- 00:20:52.530 --> 00:20:53.631
- The pain of just continuing to hide, and keep it, and let it fester,
- 00:20:53.698 --> 00:20:55.599
- Continuing to hide, and keep it, and let it fester, that's something that never
- 00:20:55.666 --> 00:20:58.536
- And keep it, and let it fester, that's something that never does anything positive for you.
- 00:20:58.602 --> 00:21:00.037
- That's something that never does anything positive for you. >> ginger: yeah.
- 00:21:00.104 --> 00:21:00.671
- Does anything positive for you. >> ginger: yeah. well, i'd love, as we're
- 00:21:00.738 --> 00:21:01.972
- >> ginger: yeah. well, i'd love, as we're doing all this, to just throw
- 00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:03.607
- Well, i'd love, as we're doing all this, to just throw in something about projectgrl,
- 00:21:03.674 --> 00:21:05.076
- Doing all this, to just throw in something about projectgrl, because that's what you've
- 00:21:05.142 --> 00:21:06.377
- In something about projectgrl, because that's what you've done with your pain,
- 00:21:06.444 --> 00:21:08.045
- Because that's what you've done with your pain, is you've had such a burden
- 00:21:08.112 --> 00:21:10.514
- Done with your pain, is you've had such a burden to help women and girls
- 00:21:10.581 --> 00:21:12.149
- Is you've had such a burden to help women and girls through situations
- 00:21:12.216 --> 00:21:13.584
- To help women and girls through situations like you're talking about,
- 00:21:13.651 --> 00:21:14.518
- Through situations like you're talking about, helping them to know how
- 00:21:14.585 --> 00:21:15.619
- Like you're talking about, helping them to know how valuable they are in christ
- 00:21:15.686 --> 00:21:17.021
- Helping them to know how valuable they are in christ and helping them with
- 00:21:17.088 --> 00:21:18.255
- Valuable they are in christ and helping them with physical needs so that
- 00:21:18.322 --> 00:21:19.256
- And helping them with physical needs so that they can even see that
- 00:21:19.323 --> 00:21:20.891
- Physical needs so that they can even see that value and accept who
- 00:21:20.958 --> 00:21:22.326
- They can even see that value and accept who jesus says they are.
- 00:21:22.393 --> 00:21:24.362
- Value and accept who jesus says they are. and so, you know,
- 00:21:24.428 --> 00:21:25.696
- Jesus says they are. and so, you know, i just think that's really
- 00:21:25.763 --> 00:21:26.430
- And so, you know, i just think that's really important that you took
- 00:21:26.497 --> 00:21:27.398
- I just think that's really important that you took your pain and you're using
- 00:21:27.465 --> 00:21:30.401
- Important that you took your pain and you're using it to help women and girls
- 00:21:30.468 --> 00:21:31.569
- Your pain and you're using it to help women and girls all over the world and allowing
- 00:21:31.635 --> 00:21:33.571
- It to help women and girls all over the world and allowing us all to be part of it too.
- 00:21:33.637 --> 00:21:34.939
- All over the world and allowing us all to be part of it too. so, that's something that you
- 00:21:35.005 --> 00:21:37.975
- Us all to be part of it too. so, that's something that you probably never saw coming
- 00:21:38.042 --> 00:21:39.210
- So, that's something that you probably never saw coming out of anything that was going
- 00:21:39.276 --> 00:21:40.644
- Probably never saw coming out of anything that was going on in your life, but god said,
- 00:21:40.711 --> 00:21:42.546
- Out of anything that was going on in your life, but god said, "i'm gonna turn
- 00:21:42.613 --> 00:21:43.114
- On in your life, but god said, "i'm gonna turn it around and use it for
- 00:21:43.180 --> 00:21:43.981
- "i'm gonna turn it around and use it for something wonderful."
- 00:21:44.048 --> 00:21:44.849
- It around and use it for something wonderful." >> joyce: yeah.
- 00:21:44.915 --> 00:21:45.483
- Something wonderful." >> joyce: yeah. you can't just look
- 00:21:45.549 --> 00:21:48.152
- >> joyce: yeah. you can't just look at somebody's pain and say,
- 00:21:48.219 --> 00:21:49.387
- You can't just look at somebody's pain and say, "oh, that's too bad,"
- 00:21:49.453 --> 00:21:51.455
- At somebody's pain and say, "oh, that's too bad," and not do anything
- 00:21:51.522 --> 00:21:52.490
- "oh, that's too bad," and not do anything if you can do something.
- 00:21:52.556 --> 00:21:53.758
- And not do anything if you can do something. sometimes you can't.
- 00:21:53.824 --> 00:21:55.092
- If you can do something. sometimes you can't. but if you can,
- 00:21:55.159 --> 00:21:58.095
- Sometimes you can't. but if you can, then you should.
- 00:21:58.162 --> 00:21:58.829
- But if you can, then you should. >> ginger: absolutely,
- 00:21:58.896 --> 00:21:59.830
