About guilt, that i did not have to feel guilty. once i had repented,
00:03:06.976 --> 00:03:09.979
Have to feel guilty. once i had repented, i could walk away from it.

Once i had repented, i could walk away from it. i didn't have to feel bad
00:03:12.615 --> 00:03:14.150
I could walk away from it. i didn't have to feel bad for half a day, or a quarter
00:03:14.217 --> 00:03:16.753
I didn't have to feel bad for half a day, or a quarter of a day, and it just
00:03:16.819 --> 00:03:17.654
For half a day, or a quarter of a day, and it just didn't feel right.

Right off from it. either jesus did a good job, or he didn't and he needs

I read the other day that a toddler, when they're
00:04:37.834 --> 00:04:40.236
I read the other day that a toddler, when they're learning how to walk,
00:04:40.303 --> 00:04:42.405
A toddler, when they're learning how to walk, falls down a hundred times
00:04:42.472 --> 00:04:46.409
Learning how to walk, falls down a hundred times every so many hours.
00:04:46.476 --> 00:04:51.147
Falls down a hundred times every so many hours. and they just get back up.
00:04:51.214 --> 00:04:52.215
Every so many hours. and they just get back up. i was watching my great-
00:04:52.281 --> 00:04:54.484
And they just get back up. i was watching my great- grandson the other day,
00:04:54.550 --> 00:04:55.485
I was watching my great- grandson the other day, and he's learned how to walk
00:04:55.551 --> 00:04:57.353
Grandson the other day, and he's learned how to walk in the last few months.
00:04:57.420 --> 00:04:58.388
And he's learned how to walk in the last few months. and he fell i don't know how
00:04:58.454 --> 00:05:00.990
In the last few months. and he fell i don't know how many times, and he'd just get
00:05:01.057 --> 00:05:01.858
And he fell i don't know how many times, and he'd just get back up and keep on going.
00:05:01.924 --> 00:05:05.027
Many times, and he'd just get back up and keep on going. when they first fall, they cry.
00:05:05.094 --> 00:05:07.997
Back up and keep on going. when they first fall, they cry. but then after a while, they
00:05:08.064 --> 00:05:09.499
When they first fall, they cry. but then after a while, they don't even cry when they fall.
00:05:09.565 --> 00:05:10.466
But then after a while, they don't even cry when they fall. they just get back up
00:05:10.533 --> 00:05:11.300
Don't even cry when they fall. they just get back up and keep going.
00:05:11.367 --> 00:05:12.168
They just get back up and keep going. and it's kind of the same
00:05:12.235 --> 00:05:13.403
And keep going. and it's kind of the same way we are.
00:05:13.469 --> 00:05:17.707
And it's kind of the same way we are. they don't give up.
00:05:17.774 --> 00:05:21.377

And have purpose. we were talking during the break, and they said
00:06:01.250 --> 00:06:04.821
We were talking during the break, and they said the three top things that

The break, and they said the three top things that we get prayer requests

The three top things that we get prayer requests for in the office are:

We get prayer requests for in the office are: #1 healing,
00:06:09.926 --> 00:06:11.227
For in the office are: #1 healing, #2 marriage,
00:06:11.294 --> 00:06:12.662
#1 healing, #2 marriage, and #3 people wanting
00:06:12.728 --> 00:06:14.263
#2 marriage, and #3 people wanting to know their purpose.
00:06:14.330 --> 00:06:18.267
And #3 people wanting to know their purpose. i found that very interesting.
00:06:18.334 --> 00:06:22.605
To know their purpose. i found that very interesting. dick van dyke in his 90s said,
00:06:22.672 --> 00:06:27.276
“if you want to be happy,
00:06:27.343 --> 00:06:28.578
“if you want to be happy, there's two things
00:06:28.644 --> 00:06:29.412
“if you want to be happy, there's two things you have to have.
00:06:29.479 --> 00:06:30.179
There's two things you have to have. you have to have somebody
00:06:30.246 --> 00:06:31.047
You have to have. you have to have somebody to love, and you have
00:06:31.113 --> 00:06:32.782
You have to have somebody to love, and you have to have a purpose.”
00:06:32.849 --> 00:06:35.952
To love, and you have to have a purpose.” think about that.
00:06:36.018 --> 00:06:37.386
To have a purpose.” think about that. you have to have--didn't even
00:06:37.453 --> 00:06:39.288
Think about that. you have to have--didn't even say somebody to love you.
00:06:39.355 --> 00:06:40.056
You have to have--didn't even say somebody to love you. you have to have somebody
00:06:40.122 --> 00:06:41.190
Say somebody to love you. you have to have somebody to love, and you have
00:06:41.257 --> 00:06:43.025
You have to have somebody to love, and you have to have a purpose.
00:06:43.092 --> 00:06:43.993
To love, and you have to have a purpose. we all need a purpose.
00:06:44.060 --> 00:06:46.629
To have a purpose. we all need a purpose. what's the point in even
00:06:46.696 --> 00:06:47.930
We all need a purpose. what's the point in even getting out of bed if you
00:06:47.997 --> 00:06:48.798
What's the point in even getting out of bed if you don't have a purpose?
00:06:48.865 --> 00:06:51.200
Getting out of bed if you don't have a purpose? that's one of the reasons
00:06:51.267 --> 00:06:52.602
Don't have a purpose? that's one of the reasons why i don't see any point
00:06:52.668 --> 00:06:53.603
That's one of the reasons why i don't see any point in retiring, because we've
00:06:53.669 --> 00:06:56.939
Why i don't see any point in retiring, because we've gotta have a purpose, you know.
00:06:57.006 --> 00:06:59.141
In retiring, because we've gotta have a purpose, you know. >> [audience applauding]

00:07:06.349 --> 00:07:07.750
I can't--i had to stop flying overseas a few years ago, because the jet lag
00:07:07.817 --> 00:07:08.651
Overseas a few years ago, because the jet lag was just too hard on me.
00:07:08.718 --> 00:07:11.420

You know, if you know how to watch god's grace and what it's on and what it's not on,
00:07:15.024 --> 00:07:15.992
To watch god's grace and what it's on and what it's not on, you can tell when god's
00:07:16.058 --> 00:07:17.226
It's on and what it's not on, you can tell when god's grace is lifting off you.
00:07:17.293 --> 00:07:18.794
You can tell when god's grace is lifting off you. for years and years, i had

Grace is lifting off you. for years and years, i had so much favor in foreign
00:07:20.062 --> 00:07:21.397
For years and years, i had so much favor in foreign countries, it was ridiculous.

So much favor in foreign countries, it was ridiculous. i mean, i could just

Of people come out to crusades, and it was marvelous. and then i got blacklisted

And then i got blacklisted in india, they wouldn't let me in anymore.

In india, they wouldn't let me in anymore. and then we'd plan a crusade
