>> joyce: you know, we want to help people.
00:00:41.598 --> 00:00:42.332
>> joyce: you know, we want to help people. as believers in christ,
00:00:42.398 --> 00:00:43.133
We want to help people. as believers in christ, we want to help people.
00:00:43.199 --> 00:00:45.668
As believers in christ, we want to help people. and i remember one young
00:00:45.735 --> 00:00:47.003
We want to help people. and i remember one young man that we worked
00:00:47.070 --> 00:00:47.904
And i remember one young man that we worked with for four years.
00:00:47.971 --> 00:00:49.873
Man that we worked with for four years. i mean, we gave him
00:00:49.939 --> 00:00:50.607
With for four years. i mean, we gave him a lot of time,
00:00:50.673 --> 00:00:52.742
I mean, we gave him a lot of time, spent money to help him
00:00:52.809 --> 00:00:54.010
A lot of time, spent money to help him get healthy and good,
00:00:54.077 --> 00:00:57.280
And when we felt like it was
00:00:57.347 --> 00:00:59.716
And when we felt like it was time for us to step away,
00:00:59.782 --> 00:01:01.784
And when we felt like it was time for us to step away, he went right back to doing
00:01:01.851 --> 00:01:03.086
Time for us to step away, he went right back to doing what he was doing before
00:01:03.153 --> 00:01:04.521
He went right back to doing what he was doing before we started trying to help him.
00:01:04.587 --> 00:01:06.756
What he was doing before we started trying to help him. so, satan will use people
00:01:06.823 --> 00:01:08.591
We started trying to help him. so, satan will use people to steal your time.
00:01:08.658 --> 00:01:09.692
So, satan will use people to steal your time. a lot of people that
00:01:09.759 --> 00:01:10.593
To steal your time. a lot of people that come to you for help,
00:01:10.660 --> 00:01:11.895
A lot of people that come to you for help, they just wanna complain
00:01:11.961 --> 00:01:12.996
Come to you for help, they just wanna complain about what their situation is,
00:01:13.062 --> 00:01:14.564
They just wanna complain about what their situation is, but they really,
00:01:14.631 --> 00:01:15.231
About what their situation is, but they really, truly don't want to change.
00:01:15.298 --> 00:01:19.035
But they really, truly don't want to change. if people are not
00:01:19.102 --> 00:01:20.937
Truly don't want to change. if people are not changing at all,
00:01:21.004 --> 00:01:22.472
If people are not changing at all, then something's wrong.
00:01:22.539 --> 00:01:24.507
You need to be careful
00:01:24.974 --> 00:01:25.742
You need to be careful about not letting those
00:01:25.808 --> 00:01:26.743
You need to be careful about not letting those people just steal your time.
00:01:26.809 --> 00:01:30.480
About not letting those people just steal your time. you know, you don't
00:01:30.547 --> 00:01:31.114
People just steal your time. you know, you don't have to be available
00:01:31.181 --> 00:01:32.782
You know, you don't have to be available for everybody's emergency.
00:01:32.849 --> 00:01:36.286
Have to be available for everybody's emergency. satan uses people who
00:01:36.352 --> 00:01:38.221
For everybody's emergency. satan uses people who wanna steal your time,
00:01:38.288 --> 00:01:40.990
Satan uses people who wanna steal your time, but you end up not
00:01:41.057 --> 00:01:41.891
Wanna steal your time, but you end up not really helping them.
00:01:41.958 --> 00:01:44.360
But you end up not really helping them. don't let anybody
00:01:44.427 --> 00:01:45.161
Really helping them. don't let anybody in your life just be a taker.
00:01:45.228 --> 00:01:47.463
Don't let anybody in your life just be a taker. that'll wear you out, too.
00:01:47.530 --> 00:01:49.365
In your life just be a taker. that'll wear you out, too. people that are
00:01:49.432 --> 00:01:50.033
That'll wear you out, too. people that are always just taking,
00:01:50.099 --> 00:01:51.968
People that are always just taking, they're never putting anything
00:01:52.035 --> 00:01:53.002
Always just taking, they're never putting anything back into the relationship.
00:01:53.069 --> 00:01:54.871
They're never putting anything back into the relationship. they're just taking.
00:01:54.938 --> 00:01:55.638
Back into the relationship. they're just taking. always wanting you
00:01:55.705 --> 00:01:56.372
They're just taking. always wanting you to do something for them,
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.742
Always wanting you to do something for them, but never available when
00:01:59.809 --> 00:02:00.944
To do something for them, but never available when you need some help from them.
00:02:01.010 --> 00:02:07.884
But never available when you need some help from them. avoid people that drain you
00:02:07.951 --> 00:02:09.252
You need some help from them. avoid people that drain you and add nothing to your life.
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.822
Avoid people that drain you and add nothing to your life. hebrews 12:1 says,
00:02:12.889 --> 00:02:14.090
And add nothing to your life. hebrews 12:1 says, "therefore, since we are
00:02:14.157 --> 00:02:14.991
Hebrews 12:1 says, "therefore, since we are surrounded by so great
00:02:15.058 --> 00:02:16.025
"therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses
00:02:16.092 --> 00:02:16.960
Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne
00:02:17.026 --> 00:02:18.027
A cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the truth],
00:02:18.094 --> 00:02:20.096
[who have borne testimony to the truth], let us strip off
00:02:20.163 --> 00:02:21.064
Testimony to the truth], let us strip off and throw aside every--"
00:02:21.130 --> 00:02:22.532
Let us strip off and throw aside every--" now, listen to these words.
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:23.733
And throw aside every--" now, listen to these words. "encumbrance--
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:26.636
Now, listen to these words. "encumbrance-- throw off every
00:02:26.703 --> 00:02:27.403
"encumbrance-- throw off every (unnecessary weight)
00:02:27.470 --> 00:02:29.505
Throw off every (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily
00:02:29.572 --> 00:02:31.574
(unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly)
00:02:31.641 --> 00:02:32.575
And that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us."
00:02:32.642 --> 00:02:38.448
So, i'm seeing,
00:02:38.514 --> 00:02:40.283
So, i'm seeing, "don't get encumbered."
00:02:40.350 --> 00:02:42.585
So, i'm seeing, "don't get encumbered." "don't be carrying around
00:02:42.652 --> 00:02:43.653
"don't get encumbered." "don't be carrying around more than what you can handle."
00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:45.455
"don't be carrying around more than what you can handle." "don't get entangled."
00:02:45.521 --> 00:02:46.889
More than what you can handle." "don't get entangled." do you ever just get entangled
00:02:46.956 --> 00:02:48.458
"don't get entangled." do you ever just get entangled in somebody else's mess?
00:02:48.524 --> 00:02:50.827
And you start out
00:02:51.127 --> 00:02:51.728
And you start out trying to help 'em,
00:02:51.794 --> 00:02:52.662
And you start out trying to help 'em, but by the end of it they've
00:02:52.729 --> 00:02:53.730
Trying to help 'em, but by the end of it they've just worn you out
00:02:53.796 --> 00:02:55.064
But by the end of it they've just worn you out and they're still doing
00:02:55.131 --> 00:02:55.798
Just worn you out and they're still doing the same things that
00:02:55.865 --> 00:02:56.566
And they're still doing the same things that they were before.
00:02:56.633 --> 00:02:58.835
The same things that they were before. and "with steady,
00:02:58.901 --> 00:02:59.636
They were before. and "with steady, active persistence--"
00:02:59.702 --> 00:03:02.338
And "with steady, active persistence--" persistence.
00:03:02.405 --> 00:03:05.375
Active persistence--" persistence. "run the race that
00:03:05.441 --> 00:03:06.409
Persistence. "run the race that is set before you."
00:03:06.476 --> 00:03:08.678
"run the race that is set before you." see, you can't run your race
00:03:08.745 --> 00:03:10.613
Is set before you." see, you can't run your race if you've got somebody
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:11.881
See, you can't run your race if you've got somebody dragging you down all the time.
00:03:11.948 --> 00:03:15.084
If you've got somebody dragging you down all the time. ephesians 5:16.
00:03:15.151 --> 00:03:16.619
Dragging you down all the time. ephesians 5:16. i love this.
00:03:16.686 --> 00:03:17.420
Ephesians 5:16. i love this. "make the very most of your time
00:03:17.487 --> 00:03:19.622
I love this. "make the very most of your time [buy up each opportunity],
00:03:19.689 --> 00:03:21.291
"make the very most of your time [buy up each opportunity], because the days are evil."
00:03:21.357 --> 00:03:24.260
Don't waste your time
00:03:24.327 --> 00:03:25.094
Don't waste your time on people or things
00:03:25.161 --> 00:03:26.329
Don't waste your time on people or things that never bear any fruit.
00:03:26.396 --> 00:03:28.765
On people or things that never bear any fruit. i'm telling you, this,
00:03:28.831 --> 00:03:29.465
That never bear any fruit. i'm telling you, this, what i'm saying right now,
00:03:29.532 --> 00:03:31.768
I'm telling you, this, what i'm saying right now, would help so many
00:03:31.834 --> 00:03:32.802
What i'm saying right now, would help so many people if they would
00:03:32.869 --> 00:03:33.569
Would help so many people if they would pay attention to it.
00:03:33.636 --> 00:03:34.837
People if they would pay attention to it. you say, "well, i just--
00:03:34.904 --> 00:03:35.705
Pay attention to it. you say, "well, i just-- my schedule just
00:03:35.772 --> 00:03:36.439
You say, "well, i just-- my schedule just drives me crazy.
00:03:36.506 --> 00:03:37.273
My schedule just drives me crazy. i just--
00:03:37.340 --> 00:03:37.807
Drives me crazy. i just-- i never have a free minute."
00:03:37.874 --> 00:03:39.175
I just-- i never have a free minute." well, i'll tell you what
00:03:39.242 --> 00:03:40.643
I never have a free minute." well, i'll tell you what the lord told me.
00:03:40.710 --> 00:03:41.411
Well, i'll tell you what the lord told me. you made your schedule
00:03:41.477 --> 00:03:42.345
The lord told me. you made your schedule and only you can change it.
00:03:42.412 --> 00:03:44.013
You made your schedule and only you can change it. so, if you don't like
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:44.914
And only you can change it. so, if you don't like the schedule that you have,
00:03:44.981 --> 00:03:46.949
So, if you don't like the schedule that you have, write down on a piece of paper
00:03:47.016 --> 00:03:48.184
The schedule that you have, write down on a piece of paper everything you're doing.
00:03:48.251 --> 00:03:49.485
Write down on a piece of paper everything you're doing. now, go back and ask yourself
00:03:49.552 --> 00:03:51.220
Everything you're doing. now, go back and ask yourself why you're doing them.
00:03:51.287 --> 00:03:53.256
Now, go back and ask yourself why you're doing them. we do so many things just
00:03:53.323 --> 00:03:54.524
Why you're doing them. we do so many things just because people want us to,
00:03:54.590 --> 00:03:56.125
We do so many things just because people want us to, and we don't want
00:03:56.192 --> 00:03:56.726
Because people want us to, and we don't want them to get mad at us.
00:03:56.793 --> 00:03:57.627
And we don't want them to get mad at us. so, we do it.
00:03:57.694 --> 00:03:59.562
Them to get mad at us. so, we do it. but there's really no grace
00:03:59.629 --> 00:04:00.663
So, we do it. but there's really no grace on us to do it because it's not
00:04:00.730 --> 00:04:02.198
But there's really no grace on us to do it because it's not what god wants us to do.
00:04:02.265 --> 00:04:04.133
On us to do it because it's not what god wants us to do. and anytime we're doing things
00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:05.601
What god wants us to do. and anytime we're doing things that there's no grace on,
00:04:05.668 --> 00:04:07.170
And anytime we're doing things that there's no grace on, it's always gonna suck
00:04:07.236 --> 00:04:08.571
That there's no grace on, it's always gonna suck the energy and the enthusiasm
00:04:08.638 --> 00:04:10.873
It's always gonna suck the energy and the enthusiasm and the zeal out of us.
00:04:10.940 --> 00:04:14.143
The energy and the enthusiasm and the zeal out of us. satan gets us confused
00:04:14.210 --> 00:04:15.411
And the zeal out of us. satan gets us confused about our priorities.
00:04:15.478 --> 00:04:17.480
Satan gets us confused about our priorities. we try to do everything
00:04:17.547 --> 00:04:18.981
About our priorities. we try to do everything and end up doing nothing.
00:04:19.048 --> 00:04:20.583
We try to do everything and end up doing nothing. nobody can do it all.
00:04:20.650 --> 00:04:22.785
And end up doing nothing. nobody can do it all. and i've made that
00:04:22.852 --> 00:04:23.486
Nobody can do it all. and i've made that mistake in my life.
00:04:23.553 --> 00:04:24.520
And i've made that mistake in my life. didn't wanna say "no"
00:04:24.587 --> 00:04:25.321
Mistake in my life. didn't wanna say "no" to anybody.
00:04:25.388 --> 00:04:26.322
Didn't wanna say "no" to anybody. "yes, i can do that.
00:04:26.389 --> 00:04:27.256
To anybody. "yes, i can do that. yes, i can do that.
00:04:27.323 --> 00:04:28.424
"yes, i can do that. yes, i can do that. yes, i can do that.
00:04:28.491 --> 00:04:31.294
Yes, i can do that. yes, i can do that. yes, i can--
00:04:31.361 --> 00:04:31.994
Yes, i can do that. yes, i can-- forward--
00:04:32.061 --> 00:04:32.695
Yes, i can-- forward-- write a forward for your book.
00:04:32.762 --> 00:04:33.763
Forward-- write a forward for your book. yes, i--" you know,
00:04:33.830 --> 00:04:34.564
Write a forward for your book. yes, i--" you know, it's easy to say "yes,"
00:04:34.630 --> 00:04:36.165
Yes, i--" you know, it's easy to say "yes," but then when it actually
00:04:36.232 --> 00:04:37.233
It's easy to say "yes," but then when it actually comes to having to do it,
00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:40.036
But then when it actually comes to having to do it, sometimes you've got
00:04:40.103 --> 00:04:40.903
Comes to having to do it, sometimes you've got so many other things
00:04:40.970 --> 00:04:41.771
Sometimes you've got so many other things going on that you're like,
00:04:41.838 --> 00:04:42.638
So many other things going on that you're like, "why in the world did
00:04:42.705 --> 00:04:43.506
Going on that you're like, "why in the world did i say 'yes' to this?"
00:04:43.573 --> 00:04:45.375
"why in the world did i say 'yes' to this?" well, that's what you need
00:04:45.441 --> 00:04:46.242
I say 'yes' to this?" well, that's what you need to think about and even pray
00:04:46.309 --> 00:04:47.443
Well, that's what you need to think about and even pray about before you do that.
00:04:47.510 --> 00:04:51.914
To think about and even pray about before you do that. satan gets us confused
00:04:51.981 --> 00:04:53.316
About before you do that. satan gets us confused about our priorities.
00:04:53.383 --> 00:04:57.019
Satan gets us confused about our priorities. i think it was john maxwell
00:04:57.086 --> 00:04:58.187
About our priorities. i think it was john maxwell that said,
00:04:58.254 --> 00:04:58.821
I think it was john maxwell that said, "give 80% of your time to your
00:04:58.888 --> 00:05:00.590
That said, "give 80% of your time to your top two priorities."
00:05:00.656 --> 00:05:02.625
"give 80% of your time to your top two priorities." wow.
00:05:02.692 --> 00:05:03.159
Top two priorities." wow. well, that could make a big
00:05:03.226 --> 00:05:04.227
Wow. well, that could make a big difference for us, right?
00:05:04.293 --> 00:05:07.063
Well, that could make a big difference for us, right? what happens when we can't
00:05:07.130 --> 00:05:08.264
Difference for us, right? what happens when we can't focus on our priorities?
00:05:08.331 --> 00:05:12.702
What happens when we can't focus on our priorities? "example, a lion trainer
00:05:12.769 --> 00:05:13.936
Focus on our priorities? "example, a lion trainer goes into the animal cage
00:05:14.003 --> 00:05:15.138
"example, a lion trainer goes into the animal cage with a gun, a whip, and a stool.
00:05:15.204 --> 00:05:17.507
Goes into the animal cage with a gun, a whip, and a stool. he holds the stool
00:05:17.573 --> 00:05:18.541
With a gun, a whip, and a stool. he holds the stool with the seat facing
00:05:18.608 --> 00:05:19.509
He holds the stool with the seat facing him and the four legs
00:05:19.575 --> 00:05:20.676
With the seat facing him and the four legs facing the lion.
00:05:20.743 --> 00:05:22.445
Him and the four legs facing the lion. he does this because when
00:05:22.512 --> 00:05:23.613
Facing the lion. he does this because when the lion tries to focus
00:05:23.679 --> 00:05:24.747
He does this because when the lion tries to focus on all four legs at once,
00:05:24.814 --> 00:05:26.115
The lion tries to focus on all four legs at once, it produces a type
00:05:26.182 --> 00:05:27.316
On all four legs at once, it produces a type of paralysis in the lion."
00:05:27.383 --> 00:05:30.386
It produces a type of paralysis in the lion." i love that.
00:05:30.453 --> 00:05:31.020
Of paralysis in the lion." i love that. that's interesting.
00:05:31.087 --> 00:05:33.156
I love that. that's interesting. you wonder how these people
00:05:33.222 --> 00:05:34.457
That's interesting. you wonder how these people have the nerve to go into
00:05:34.524 --> 00:05:35.691
You wonder how these people have the nerve to go into a cage with a lion,
00:05:35.758 --> 00:05:40.029
Have the nerve to go into a cage with a lion, a wild animal that can turn
00:05:40.096 --> 00:05:41.431
A cage with a lion, a wild animal that can turn on 'em at any time,
00:05:41.497 --> 00:05:43.332
A wild animal that can turn on 'em at any time, and they go with this little
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:45.368
On 'em at any time, and they go with this little stool pointed at 'em,
00:05:45.435 --> 00:05:47.703
And they go with this little stool pointed at 'em, but they can't focus
00:05:47.770 --> 00:05:48.805
Stool pointed at 'em, but they can't focus on all four legs at once,
00:05:48.871 --> 00:05:50.173
But they can't focus on all four legs at once, and it...
00:05:50.239 --> 00:05:53.409
On all four legs at once, and it... paralyzes them.
00:05:53.476 --> 00:05:55.845
And it... paralyzes them. so, maybe satan has us trying
00:05:55.912 --> 00:05:58.381
Paralyzes them. so, maybe satan has us trying to focus on so many
00:05:58.448 --> 00:05:59.515
So, maybe satan has us trying to focus on so many things that we also get
00:05:59.582 --> 00:06:01.150
To focus on so many things that we also get paralyzed and end up doing
00:06:01.217 --> 00:06:03.019
Things that we also get paralyzed and end up doing nothing and being confused
00:06:03.085 --> 00:06:04.720
Paralyzed and end up doing nothing and being confused about what we should do.
00:06:04.787 --> 00:06:07.657
Nothing and being confused about what we should do. what is your top priority?
00:06:07.723 --> 00:06:10.359
About what we should do. what is your top priority? whatever your top priority is,
00:06:10.426 --> 00:06:11.961
What is your top priority? whatever your top priority is, that's what you should
00:06:12.028 --> 00:06:12.695
Whatever your top priority is, that's what you should give most of your time to.
00:06:12.762 --> 00:06:15.097
That's what you should give most of your time to. he wants to wear
00:06:15.164 --> 00:06:16.666
Give most of your time to. he wants to wear out our commitments
00:06:16.732 --> 00:06:17.633
He wants to wear out our commitments and our consecration.
00:06:17.700 --> 00:06:18.601
Out our commitments and our consecration. he wants us to make commitments
00:06:18.668 --> 00:06:19.635
And our consecration. he wants us to make commitments and then not keep 'em,
00:06:19.702 --> 00:06:21.504
He wants us to make commitments and then not keep 'em, because that's not integrity.
00:06:21.571 --> 00:06:22.738
And then not keep 'em, because that's not integrity. and god wants
00:06:22.805 --> 00:06:23.372
Because that's not integrity. and god wants a people of integrity.
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:25.708
And god wants a people of integrity. he tempts us with the world,
00:06:25.775 --> 00:06:27.109
A people of integrity. he tempts us with the world, so we're separated
00:06:27.176 --> 00:06:28.010
He tempts us with the world, so we're separated from god's presence.
00:06:28.077 --> 00:06:29.579
"don't love or cherish
00:06:30.313 --> 00:06:30.880

If anyone loves the world, love for the father is not in him."

Love for the father is not in him." now, that doesn't mean

Is not in him." now, that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy

Now, that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy things in the world.
00:06:38.321 --> 00:06:39.555
That you can't enjoy things in the world. but when they become more
00:06:39.622 --> 00:06:40.556
Things in the world. but when they become more important to you than god is,
00:06:40.623 --> 00:06:42.725
But when they become more important to you than god is, when you'll give
00:06:42.792 --> 00:06:43.359
Important to you than god is, when you'll give up your time with god
00:06:43.426 --> 00:06:44.227
When you'll give up your time with god to do those other things,
00:06:44.293 --> 00:06:45.728
Up your time with god to do those other things, then you're headed for trouble.

To do those other things, then you're headed for trouble. "for all that's in the world--

And i think we should spend a good deal of our time here preparing for there.
00:07:44.854 --> 00:07:48.124
A good deal of our time here preparing for there. the bible says "you brought

And you're not gonna take anything out." so, all the things that
00:07:52.562 --> 00:07:54.330
We crave and desire
00:07:54.397 --> 00:07:56.699
We crave and desire and give up time with
00:07:56.766 --> 00:07:58.434
We crave and desire and give up time with god to be sure we can
00:07:58.501 --> 00:07:59.569
And give up time with god to be sure we can get these things,
00:07:59.635 --> 00:08:01.337
God to be sure we can get these things, they're already in the process

Get these things, they're already in the process of decaying when you
00:08:03.105 --> 00:08:04.574
They're already in the process of decaying when you bring them home.
00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:05.374
Of decaying when you bring them home. and if you don't believe
00:08:05.441 --> 00:08:06.909
Bring them home. and if you don't believe that things decay,
00:08:06.976 --> 00:08:07.843
And if you don't believe that things decay, just go look at a junkyard.
00:08:07.910 --> 00:08:11.781
That things decay, just go look at a junkyard. that car that's
00:08:11.847 --> 00:08:12.481
Just go look at a junkyard. that car that's a piece of junk now,
00:08:12.548 --> 00:08:13.416
That car that's a piece of junk now, was at one time,
00:08:13.482 --> 00:08:14.383
A piece of junk now, was at one time, somebody's dream.
00:08:14.450 --> 00:08:15.785
Was at one time, somebody's dream. and i don't know,
00:08:15.851 --> 00:08:16.452
Somebody's dream. and i don't know, maybe they worked two jobs
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:17.587
And i don't know, maybe they worked two jobs and ignored family just so they
00:08:17.653 --> 00:08:18.821
Maybe they worked two jobs and ignored family just so they could have that beautiful
00:08:18.888 --> 00:08:20.990
And ignored family just so they could have that beautiful shiny new car.
00:08:21.057 --> 00:08:22.391
Could have that beautiful shiny new car. but it doesn't stay
00:08:22.458 --> 00:08:23.125
Shiny new car. but it doesn't stay that way forever.
00:08:23.192 --> 00:08:25.027
Matthew 6:24 says,
00:08:26.762 --> 00:08:28.064
Matthew 6:24 says, "nobody can serve two masters;
00:08:28.130 --> 00:08:30.800
Matthew 6:24 says, "nobody can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one
00:08:30.866 --> 00:08:32.134
"nobody can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other,
00:08:32.201 --> 00:08:33.336
For either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by
00:08:33.402 --> 00:08:34.236
And love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one
00:08:34.303 --> 00:08:35.371
Or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise the other.
00:08:35.438 --> 00:08:38.608
And be devoted to the one and despise the other. you cannot serve god
00:08:38.674 --> 00:08:39.809
And despise the other. you cannot serve god and (deceitful riches,
00:08:39.875 --> 00:08:42.278
You cannot serve god and (deceitful riches, and money, possessions,
00:08:42.345 --> 00:08:43.613
And (deceitful riches, and money, possessions, or whatever is trusted in)."
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.315
And money, possessions, or whatever is trusted in)." now, the bible says,
00:08:46.382 --> 00:08:47.283
Or whatever is trusted in)." now, the bible says, "if you delight
00:08:47.350 --> 00:08:48.618
Now, the bible says, "if you delight yourself in the lord,
00:08:48.684 --> 00:08:49.285
"if you delight yourself in the lord, he will give you the desires
00:08:49.352 --> 00:08:50.453
Yourself in the lord, he will give you the desires of your heart."
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:51.787
He will give you the desires of your heart." and in matthew 6:33 it says
00:08:51.854 --> 00:08:55.591
Of your heart." and in matthew 6:33 it says that if we seek god first,
00:08:55.658 --> 00:08:57.493
And in matthew 6:33 it says that if we seek god first, he will add all of these
00:08:57.560 --> 00:08:59.095
That if we seek god first, he will add all of these other things.
00:08:59.161 --> 00:09:00.229
He will add all of these other things. so, it's really very simple.
00:09:00.296 --> 00:09:01.964
Keep god first in your life.
00:09:02.031 --> 00:09:04.300
Keep god first in your life. and anything that satan does
00:09:04.367 --> 00:09:06.535
Keep god first in your life. and anything that satan does to try to get you off of that,
00:09:06.602 --> 00:09:10.806
And anything that satan does to try to get you off of that, you need to resist--
00:09:10.873 --> 00:09:13.109
To try to get you off of that, you need to resist-- resist him at his onset.
00:09:13.175 --> 00:09:15.044
You need to resist-- resist him at his onset. and whatever you do,
00:09:15.111 --> 00:09:16.112
Resist him at his onset. and whatever you do, keep god first place
00:09:16.178 --> 00:09:17.713
And whatever you do, keep god first place in your life,
00:09:17.780 --> 00:09:18.347
Keep god first place in your life, keep him first place
00:09:18.414 --> 00:09:19.248
In your life, keep him first place in your time.
00:09:19.315 --> 00:09:21.450
Keep him first place in your time. and learn to pray
00:09:21.517 --> 00:09:22.084
In your time. and learn to pray about everything.
00:09:22.151 --> 00:09:24.020
And learn to pray about everything. god wants to be involved
00:09:24.086 --> 00:09:25.087
About everything. god wants to be involved in everything that we do.

A set apart time with god, but you don't have to say, "well, i'll pray about

00:09:50.513 --> 00:09:51.580
About it later when you pray, chances are you'll forget it and you won't pray about it.

You know, years ago,
00:11:24.406 --> 00:11:25.441
You know, years ago, when i had only
00:11:25.508 --> 00:11:27.109
You know, years ago, when i had only been in ministry,
00:11:27.176 --> 00:11:27.910
When i had only been in ministry, maybe seven or eight years,
00:11:27.977 --> 00:11:32.581
Been in ministry, maybe seven or eight years, one morning i was driving

Whisper in my heart, "you know, you're so proud of yourself because you work for me."

You're so proud of yourself because you work for me." i worked at a church,

Because you work for me." i worked at a church, and i was going to my job,
00:11:44.426 --> 00:11:48.164
I worked at a church, and i was going to my job, and i guess feeling kind of good
00:11:48.230 --> 00:11:49.799
And i was going to my job, and i guess feeling kind of good that i worked for god.
00:11:49.865 --> 00:11:51.967
And he said, "you're proud
00:11:52.034 --> 00:11:53.302
And he said, "you're proud of yourself because
00:11:53.369 --> 00:11:54.036
And he said, "you're proud of yourself because you work for me,
00:11:54.103 --> 00:11:55.371
Of yourself because you work for me, but the only problem is you
00:11:55.437 --> 00:11:56.438
You work for me, but the only problem is you don't spend any time with me."
00:11:56.505 --> 00:11:58.808
But the only problem is you don't spend any time with me." and boy, that was like
00:11:58.874 --> 00:11:59.575
Don't spend any time with me." and boy, that was like a wakeup call for me.
00:11:59.642 --> 00:12:02.478
And boy, that was like a wakeup call for me. god wants you to spend
00:12:02.545 --> 00:12:03.479
A wakeup call for me. god wants you to spend time with him before you even
00:12:03.546 --> 00:12:07.550
God wants you to spend time with him before you even do a bunch of good works,
00:12:07.616 --> 00:12:10.519
Time with him before you even do a bunch of good works, which he also wants us to do,
00:12:10.586 --> 00:12:12.855
Do a bunch of good works, which he also wants us to do, but we won't have the strength
00:12:12.922 --> 00:12:14.156
Which he also wants us to do, but we won't have the strength and the ability to do them
00:12:14.223 --> 00:12:15.257
But we won't have the strength and the ability to do them properly if we don't
00:12:15.324 --> 00:12:16.325
And the ability to do them properly if we don't spend time with god first.
00:12:16.392 --> 00:12:18.694
Properly if we don't spend time with god first. i hope i'm getting
00:12:18.761 --> 00:12:19.728
Spend time with god first. i hope i'm getting my point across today.
00:12:19.795 --> 00:12:21.697
Spend time with god first.
00:12:22.298 --> 00:12:23.132
Spend time with god first. you'll be strong enough
00:12:23.199 --> 00:12:23.999
Spend time with god first. you'll be strong enough to "resist the devil and he will
00:12:24.066 --> 00:12:26.468
You'll be strong enough to "resist the devil and he will flee," because you have
00:12:26.535 --> 00:12:28.170
To "resist the devil and he will flee," because you have authority over him,
00:12:28.237 --> 00:12:29.505
Flee," because you have authority over him, not in your name,
00:12:29.572 --> 00:12:30.372
Authority over him, not in your name, but in the name of jesus.
00:12:30.439 --> 00:12:33.509
Not in your name, but in the name of jesus. and don't forget,
00:12:33.576 --> 00:12:34.410
But in the name of jesus. and don't forget, "resist the devil at his onset."
00:12:34.476 --> 00:12:37.146
And don't forget, "resist the devil at his onset." the world may look tempting,
00:12:37.213 --> 00:12:40.082
"resist the devil at his onset." the world may look tempting, but as i said,
00:12:40.149 --> 00:12:40.850
The world may look tempting, but as i said, go to a junkyard
00:12:40.916 --> 00:12:41.750
But as i said, go to a junkyard and you'll quickly realize
00:12:41.817 --> 00:12:42.952
Go to a junkyard and you'll quickly realize that the earth is passing away.
00:12:43.018 --> 00:12:47.590
And you'll quickly realize that the earth is passing away. the world is changing.
00:12:47.656 --> 00:12:50.492
That the earth is passing away. the world is changing. "and those who deal with
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:51.460
The world is changing. "and those who deal with this world [overusing

"and those who deal with this world [overusing the enjoyments of this life]."
00:12:52.928 --> 00:12:54.496
This world [overusing the enjoyments of this life]." i like that.
00:12:54.563 --> 00:12:55.297
The enjoyments of this life]." i like that. god wants us to enjoy our life.
00:12:55.364 --> 00:12:57.433
I like that. god wants us to enjoy our life. john 10:10 says,
00:12:57.499 --> 00:12:59.168
God wants us to enjoy our life. john 10:10 says, "the thief only comes to steal,
00:12:59.235 --> 00:13:00.769
John 10:10 says, "the thief only comes to steal, kill and destroy.
00:13:00.836 --> 00:13:01.637
"the thief only comes to steal, kill and destroy. but i came that you might have
00:13:01.704 --> 00:13:02.972
Kill and destroy. but i came that you might have and enjoy your life and have
00:13:03.038 --> 00:13:05.908
But i came that you might have and enjoy your life and have it in abundance (to the full,

And enjoy your life and have it in abundance (to the full, until it overflows)."
00:13:07.009 --> 00:13:08.744
It in abundance (to the full, until it overflows)." so, god wants
00:13:08.811 --> 00:13:09.211
Until it overflows)." so, god wants us to enjoy our life,
00:13:09.278 --> 00:13:10.679
So, god wants us to enjoy our life, but he says we can overuse
00:13:10.746 --> 00:13:13.582
Us to enjoy our life, but he says we can overuse the enjoyments of this life.
00:13:13.649 --> 00:13:16.118
But he says we can overuse the enjoyments of this life. we can get so wrapped
00:13:16.185 --> 00:13:17.987
The enjoyments of this life. we can get so wrapped up in just enjoying
00:13:18.053 --> 00:13:18.988
We can get so wrapped up in just enjoying ourselves that we forget
00:13:19.054 --> 00:13:20.689
Up in just enjoying ourselves that we forget the most important things.
00:13:20.756 --> 00:13:22.958
Ourselves that we forget the most important things. "as though they were not
00:13:23.025 --> 00:13:23.893
The most important things. "as though they were not absorbed by it and as if they

"as though they were not absorbed by it and as if they had no dealings with it.

Absorbed by it and as if they had no dealings with it. for the outward form of this

Had no dealings with it. for the outward form of this world (the present world

You know, every time you give into the work of the kingdom,
00:14:11.573 --> 00:14:12.141
You give into the work of the kingdom, you're storing
00:14:12.207 --> 00:14:12.775
Of the kingdom, you're storing up treasure in heaven.
00:14:12.841 --> 00:14:14.510
You're storing up treasure in heaven. you can go out and buy
00:14:14.576 --> 00:14:15.411
Up treasure in heaven. you can go out and buy another pair of earrings,
00:14:15.477 --> 00:14:16.512
You can go out and buy another pair of earrings, and that's okay.
00:14:16.578 --> 00:14:18.747
Another pair of earrings, and that's okay. nothing wrong with that.
00:14:18.814 --> 00:14:20.082
And that's okay. nothing wrong with that. but it's not gonna store

Nothing wrong with that. but it's not gonna store up any treasure in heaven.
00:14:21.583 --> 00:14:24.420
But it's not gonna store up any treasure in heaven. however, when you give to feed
00:14:24.486 --> 00:14:26.956
Up any treasure in heaven. however, when you give to feed the hungry or help the poor
00:14:27.022 --> 00:14:28.490
However, when you give to feed the hungry or help the poor or see the gospel preached,
00:14:28.557 --> 00:14:32.428

Or see the gospel preached, then you're storing up treasure in heaven.
00:14:33.329 --> 00:14:35.664
Then you're storing up treasure in heaven. look at a picture of yourself
00:14:35.731 --> 00:14:36.832
Up treasure in heaven. look at a picture of yourself when you were 20,
00:14:36.899 --> 00:14:39.335
Look at a picture of yourself when you were 20, and then go take a look
00:14:39.401 --> 00:14:40.269
When you were 20, and then go take a look at yourself in the mirror now.
00:14:40.336 --> 00:14:42.604
You will realize that even
00:14:42.671 --> 00:14:43.872
You will realize that even the part of you that
00:14:43.939 --> 00:14:44.907
You will realize that even the part of you that is in the world
00:14:44.974 --> 00:14:45.674
The part of you that is in the world is wasting away.
00:14:45.741 --> 00:14:48.877
Is in the world is wasting away. just by being in the world,
00:14:48.944 --> 00:14:52.481
Is wasting away. just by being in the world, we change,
00:14:52.548 --> 00:14:54.950
Just by being in the world, we change, and we get older and older,
00:14:55.017 --> 00:14:56.185
We change, and we get older and older, and we can't do all the things
00:14:56.251 --> 00:14:59.822
And we get older and older, and we can't do all the things we used to do.
00:14:59.888 --> 00:15:00.522
And we can't do all the things we used to do. and we get tired easier.
00:15:00.589 --> 00:15:02.791
We used to do. and we get tired easier. and you know,
00:15:02.858 --> 00:15:03.926
And we get tired easier. and you know, that's the natural
00:15:03.993 --> 00:15:04.693
And you know, that's the natural order of things.
00:15:04.760 --> 00:15:05.828
That's the natural order of things. and so, as you grow in age,
00:15:05.894 --> 00:15:09.665
Order of things. and so, as you grow in age, you will have to make
00:15:09.732 --> 00:15:10.466
And so, as you grow in age, you will have to make changes to what you commit
00:15:10.532 --> 00:15:12.234
You will have to make changes to what you commit to do because you will need
00:15:12.301 --> 00:15:14.703
Changes to what you commit to do because you will need more rest and you will need
00:15:14.770 --> 00:15:16.138

I like this. paul said, "our outward
00:16:50.732 --> 00:16:51.333
I like this. paul said, "our outward man is wasting away,

And our inner man is being daily renewed." i think that's why,
00:16:55.871 --> 00:16:56.572
Is being daily renewed." i think that's why, even though i am the age i am,
00:16:56.638 --> 00:16:59.575
I think that's why, even though i am the age i am, i don't feel that because
00:16:59.641 --> 00:17:00.909
Even though i am the age i am, i don't feel that because my inner man is being

Not the part that is wearing out and wasting away. some people will
00:17:13.455 --> 00:17:14.056
Out and wasting away. some people will go to the gym every day,

15 minutes in prayer. and going to the gym is good for you,

I hope and pray that i'm getting that point across. it's not just enough to watch
00:17:27.803 --> 00:17:30.339
I'm getting that point across. it's not just enough to watch my program on tv every day,
00:17:30.405 --> 00:17:31.874
It's not just enough to watch my program on tv every day, or to watch somebody else
00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:33.642
My program on tv every day, or to watch somebody else that's your favorite preacher.

That's your favorite preacher. it's not--to really-- it's not enough just
00:17:36.612 --> 00:17:37.446
It's not--to really-- it's not enough just to go to church once a week.
00:17:37.513 --> 00:17:39.915
It's not enough just to go to church once a week. we need god daily
00:17:39.982 --> 00:17:43.051
To go to church once a week. we need god daily and he's always available.
00:17:43.118 --> 00:17:44.286
We need god daily and he's always available. he says, "seek me and you
00:17:44.353 --> 00:17:45.354
And he's always available. he says, "seek me and you will find me.

Is on us to knock, seek and pray, and ask.
00:17:56.165 --> 00:18:01.370
Is on us to knock, seek and pray, and ask. god responds to our action
00:18:01.436 --> 00:18:04.373
Seek and pray, and ask. god responds to our action of faith to call upon his
00:18:04.439 --> 00:18:06.708

And i thank you that when the enemy sees that blood, he has to pass by me."
00:20:44.166 --> 00:20:46.468
That's what happened
00:20:46.968 --> 00:20:47.636
That's what happened in the old testament when
00:20:47.703 --> 00:20:49.971

Through the land of egypt and slaying all the firstborn. but god told his people who
00:20:56.144 --> 00:20:57.713
And slaying all the firstborn. but god told his people who lived in goshen to take
00:20:57.779 --> 00:20:59.948
But god told his people who lived in goshen to take the blood of a spotless lamb
00:21:00.015 --> 00:21:03.085
Lived in goshen to take the blood of a spotless lamb and put it on the lintel

And when the angel saw the blood, it would pass over them.
00:21:11.159 --> 00:21:12.427

Thing you wanna do is have unforgiveness in your heart. because when you do,
00:22:06.715 --> 00:22:07.582
Unforgiveness in your heart. because when you do, that's an open door for satan.

On your anger. don't give the devil any such foothold."
