- 00:04:34.330 --> 00:04:35.965
- Shrunk on an old garment, for such a patch tears away from the garment
- 00:04:36.032 --> 00:04:36.499
- For such a patch tears away from the garment and a worse rent is made."
- 00:04:36.566 --> 00:04:38.334
- From the garment and a worse rent is made." so, if you don't quite
- 00:04:38.401 --> 00:04:39.168
- And a worse rent is made." so, if you don't quite understand that
- 00:04:39.235 --> 00:04:39.702
- So, if you don't quite understand that it's like, back in these days,
- 00:04:39.769 --> 00:04:41.571
- Understand that it's like, back in these days, people patched stuff.
- 00:04:41.637 --> 00:04:42.505
- We don't do that now,
- 00:04:42.572 --> 00:04:43.606
- We don't do that now, we throw it away
- 00:04:43.673 --> 00:04:44.173
- We don't do that now, we throw it away and get a new one.
- 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:45.241
- We throw it away and get a new one. but they patched things
- 00:04:45.308 --> 00:04:46.476
- And get a new one. but they patched things when they ripped.
- 00:04:46.542 --> 00:04:48.177
- But they patched things when they ripped. and so, he said,
- 00:04:48.244 --> 00:04:48.945
- When they ripped. and so, he said, "don't take a piece of new cloth
- 00:04:49.011 --> 00:04:50.513
- And so, he said, "don't take a piece of new cloth and put it on an old garment
- 00:04:50.580 --> 00:04:52.382
- "don't take a piece of new cloth and put it on an old garment because that garment's
- 00:04:52.448 --> 00:04:53.850
- And put it on an old garment because that garment's already been washed,
- 00:04:53.916 --> 00:04:54.851
- Because that garment's already been washed, and it's shrunk.
- 00:04:54.917 --> 00:04:55.752
- But if you put
- 00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.321
- But if you put a new patch on it,
- 00:04:58.388 --> 00:04:59.589
- But if you put a new patch on it, when you wash it,
- 00:04:59.655 --> 00:05:00.623
- A new patch on it, when you wash it, it's gonna shrink
- 00:05:00.690 --> 00:05:01.357
- When you wash it, it's gonna shrink and pull away from the rip
- 00:05:01.424 --> 00:05:02.258
- It's gonna shrink and pull away from the rip and it's gonna make it worse."
- 00:05:02.325 --> 00:05:04.494
- And pull away from the rip and it's gonna make it worse." and then he says,
- 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:05.194
- And it's gonna make it worse." and then he says, "neither is new wine
- 00:05:05.261 --> 00:05:06.863
- And then he says, "neither is new wine put into old wineskins;
- 00:05:06.929 --> 00:05:09.098
- "neither is new wine put into old wineskins; for if it is,
- 00:05:09.165 --> 00:05:09.899
- Put into old wineskins; for if it is, the skin will burst
- 00:05:09.966 --> 00:05:13.703
- For if it is, the skin will burst and it'll be torn in pieces,
- 00:05:13.770 --> 00:05:15.471
- The skin will burst and it'll be torn in pieces, and the wine will be spilled."
- 00:05:15.538 --> 00:05:19.275
- And it'll be torn in pieces, and the wine will be spilled." now, this is so important
- 00:05:19.342 --> 00:05:22.545
- Because that wine represents--
- 00:05:22.612 --> 00:05:24.680
- Because that wine represents-- it's symbolic
- 00:05:24.747 --> 00:05:25.214
- Because that wine represents-- it's symbolic of the holy spirit.
- 00:05:25.281 --> 00:05:27.116
- It's symbolic of the holy spirit. it's symbolic of the power
- 00:05:27.183 --> 00:05:28.284
- Of the holy spirit. it's symbolic of the power of the holy spirit.
- 00:05:28.351 --> 00:05:31.053
- It's symbolic of the power of the holy spirit. it's symbolic of the power
- 00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:31.921
- Of the holy spirit. it's symbolic of the power that god wants his
- 00:05:31.988 --> 00:05:34.090
- It's symbolic of the power that god wants his children to walk in.
- 00:05:34.157 --> 00:05:36.526
- That god wants his children to walk in. it's symbolic of grace
- 00:05:36.592 --> 00:05:37.760
- Children to walk in. it's symbolic of grace and it's symbolic of god's love.
- 00:05:37.827 --> 00:05:41.964
- It's symbolic of grace and it's symbolic of god's love. so, he said,
- 00:05:42.031 --> 00:05:43.166
- And it's symbolic of god's love. so, he said, "we don't want the new wine
- 00:05:43.232 --> 00:05:44.333
- So, he said, "we don't want the new wine to be spilled out.
- 00:05:44.400 --> 00:05:46.903
- "we don't want the new wine to be spilled out. so, you can't put
- 00:05:46.969 --> 00:05:49.138
- To be spilled out. so, you can't put it in old wineskins."
- 00:05:49.205 --> 00:05:50.239
- So, you can't put it in old wineskins." what's he saying?
- 00:05:50.306 --> 00:05:51.841
- It in old wineskins." what's he saying? you can't put--
- 00:05:51.908 --> 00:05:52.675
- What's he saying? you can't put-- you can never get the new
- 00:05:52.742 --> 00:05:54.277
- You can't put-- you can never get the new thing that christ has done
- 00:05:54.343 --> 00:05:55.912
- You can never get the new thing that christ has done for us to fit into old thinking.
- 00:05:55.978 --> 00:05:59.382
- That's why the bible says that
- 00:06:00.550 --> 00:06:02.084
- That's why the bible says that in order to receive what
- 00:06:02.151 --> 00:06:05.021
- That's why the bible says that in order to receive what jesus has done for us,
- 00:06:05.087 --> 00:06:06.255
- In order to receive what jesus has done for us, we must have our minds
- 00:06:06.322 --> 00:06:08.958
- Jesus has done for us, we must have our minds renewed in romans 12:2.
- 00:06:09.025 --> 00:06:11.394
- We must have our minds renewed in romans 12:2. so, i kind of feel like that
- 00:06:11.461 --> 00:06:13.396
- Renewed in romans 12:2. so, i kind of feel like that that's what's happening
- 00:06:13.463 --> 00:06:14.697

- I've been teaching a long time and, you know, a lot of times when people are quiet,
- 00:06:18.367 --> 00:06:19.735
- And, you know, a lot of times when people are quiet, they're actually

- When people are quiet, they're actually learning something,
- 00:06:20.203 --> 00:06:20.837

- 00:06:25.575 --> 00:06:26.142
- Like a noisy crowd, 'cause that makes them think that, you know,
- 00:06:26.209 --> 00:06:27.577
- 'cause that makes them think that, you know, everybody likes 'em.
- 00:06:27.643 --> 00:06:28.878
- Think that, you know, everybody likes 'em. but dave's told me over

- 00:06:38.421 --> 00:06:42.391
- And so-- >> [audience applauding] >> joyce: i mean,
- 00:06:42.458 --> 00:06:43.092
- >> [audience applauding] >> joyce: i mean, this is a huge thing because
- 00:06:43.159 --> 00:06:44.327
- >> joyce: i mean, this is a huge thing because so many new covenant
- 00:06:44.393 --> 00:06:45.928
- This is a huge thing because so many new covenant believers are not even
- 00:06:45.995 --> 00:06:49.832
- So many new covenant believers are not even remotely beginning to tap
- 00:06:49.899 --> 00:06:51.901
- Believers are not even remotely beginning to tap into the privileges that
- 00:06:51.968 --> 00:06:53.002
- Remotely beginning to tap into the privileges that they have as a child of god.
- 00:06:53.069 --> 00:06:55.738
- Into the privileges that they have as a child of god. and it's because they're still
- 00:06:55.805 --> 00:06:58.107
- They have as a child of god. and it's because they're still mixing the old with the new.
- 00:06:58.174 --> 00:07:02.578
- And it's because they're still mixing the old with the new. you know, we may think,
- 00:07:02.645 --> 00:07:03.813
- Mixing the old with the new. you know, we may think, "well, we don't live
- 00:07:03.880 --> 00:07:04.714
- You know, we may think, "well, we don't live under the law."
- 00:07:04.780 --> 00:07:05.348
- "well, we don't live under the law." but you know what?
- 00:07:05.414 --> 00:07:05.982
- Under the law." but you know what? we make our own laws.
- 00:07:06.048 --> 00:07:07.984

- 00:07:17.193 --> 00:07:18.194
- Of going to church. you can make a law out of cleaning your house.
- 00:07:18.261 --> 00:07:19.128
- You can make a law out of cleaning your house. i used to--
- 00:07:19.195 --> 00:07:19.762
- Of cleaning your house. i used to-- every day i used
- 00:07:19.829 --> 00:07:20.596
- I used to-- every day i used to clean my house.
- 00:07:20.663 --> 00:07:21.564
- Every day i used to clean my house. i mean, i guess,
- 00:07:21.631 --> 00:07:24.133
- To clean my house. i mean, i guess, i felt so dirty inside me,
- 00:07:24.200 --> 00:07:26.736
- I mean, i guess, i felt so dirty inside me, i thought if i cleaned
- 00:07:26.802 --> 00:07:27.470
- I felt so dirty inside me, i thought if i cleaned my house all the time,
- 00:07:27.537 --> 00:07:28.304
- I thought if i cleaned my house all the time, i'd feel better.
- 00:07:28.371 --> 00:07:28.938
- My house all the time, i'd feel better. but every day,
- 00:07:29.005 --> 00:07:30.106
- I'd feel better. but every day, every floor was vacuumed.
- 00:07:30.172 --> 00:07:31.374
- But every day, every floor was vacuumed. everything was dusted every day,
- 00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:33.709
- Every floor was vacuumed. everything was dusted every day, every day.
- 00:07:33.776 --> 00:07:36.178
- Everything was dusted every day, every day. and one day some friends of mine
- 00:07:36.245 --> 00:07:37.480
- Every day. and one day some friends of mine called and wanted to know
- 00:07:37.547 --> 00:07:40.316
- And one day some friends of mine called and wanted to know if i wanted to go garage sale--
- 00:07:40.383 --> 00:07:42.018
- Called and wanted to know if i wanted to go garage sale-- sale-in' with them.
- 00:07:42.084 --> 00:07:42.752
- If i wanted to go garage sale-- sale-in' with them. and i really wanted to go,
- 00:07:42.818 --> 00:07:44.687
- Sale-in' with them. and i really wanted to go, but i wouldn't follow
- 00:07:44.754 --> 00:07:45.855
- And i really wanted to go, but i wouldn't follow my heart because i had my law.
- 00:07:45.922 --> 00:07:48.558
- But i wouldn't follow my heart because i had my law. and see, when you have your law,
- 00:07:48.624 --> 00:07:50.059
- My heart because i had my law. and see, when you have your law, the holy spirit can't guide you
- 00:07:50.126 --> 00:07:52.795
- And see, when you have your law, the holy spirit can't guide you because you don't know how--
- 00:07:52.862 --> 00:07:53.596
- The holy spirit can't guide you because you don't know how-- you don't know how
- 00:07:53.663 --> 00:07:54.230
- Because you don't know how-- you don't know how to follow your heart.
- 00:07:54.297 --> 00:07:55.197
- You don't know how to follow your heart. the law supersedes all that.
- 00:07:55.264 --> 00:07:58.000
- To follow your heart. the law supersedes all that. and so, god actually
- 00:07:58.067 --> 00:07:59.869
- The law supersedes all that. and so, god actually wanted me to go ahead
- 00:07:59.936 --> 00:08:00.803
- And so, god actually wanted me to go ahead and go with them that day
- 00:08:00.870 --> 00:08:01.871
- Wanted me to go ahead and go with them that day because i needed to relax
- 00:08:01.938 --> 00:08:03.739
- And go with them that day because i needed to relax and have some fun.

- And have some fun. and he just simply said to me, "this dirt will
