- You know. and i thought those things thousands of times for years.
- 00:10:23.568 --> 00:10:25.637
- And i thought those things thousands of times for years. well, that was such a part
- 00:10:25.704 --> 00:10:27.172
- Thousands of times for years. well, that was such a part of me that even when i saw--
- 00:10:27.238 --> 00:10:30.275
- Well, that was such a part of me that even when i saw-- when i realized from the word,
- 00:10:30.341 --> 00:10:33.011
- Of me that even when i saw-- when i realized from the word, that's not true.
- 00:10:33.078 --> 00:10:33.712
- When i realized from the word, that's not true. that's not what the word says.
- 00:10:33.778 --> 00:10:34.946
- That's not true. that's not what the word says. you know, the first thing
- 00:10:35.013 --> 00:10:35.780
- That's not what the word says. you know, the first thing you're gonna have to make
- 00:10:35.847 --> 00:10:36.548
- You know, the first thing you're gonna have to make your mind up to is that
- 00:10:36.614 --> 00:10:38.650
- You're gonna have to make your mind up to is that the bible is the truth.
- 00:10:38.717 --> 00:10:43.254
- Your mind up to is that the bible is the truth. and anything other than
- 00:10:43.321 --> 00:10:43.922
- The bible is the truth. and anything other than that is not the truth.
- 00:10:43.988 --> 00:10:47.225
- And anything other than that is not the truth. and even if it doesn't
- 00:10:47.292 --> 00:10:48.727
- That is not the truth. and even if it doesn't make any sense to you,
- 00:10:48.793 --> 00:10:50.295

- 00:10:55.366 --> 00:10:56.801
- The bible's the truth. and so, when the bible says that you're precious to god,
- 00:10:56.868 --> 00:10:58.636
- And so, when the bible says that you're precious to god, then you better start thinking,

- That you're precious to god, then you better start thinking, "i'm precious to god."
- 00:11:00.939 --> 00:11:02.440
- Then you better start thinking, "i'm precious to god." i make a habit out

- I'm anointed." all the positive things that the word says, not just
- 00:11:24.796 --> 00:11:25.930
- All the positive things that the word says, not just things that i've made up,
- 00:11:25.997 --> 00:11:27.766
- The word says, not just things that i've made up, but that the word says.
- 00:11:27.832 --> 00:11:29.400
- Things that i've made up, but that the word says. and so, the longer you do that,
- 00:11:29.467 --> 00:11:32.504
- But that the word says. and so, the longer you do that, the more easy it becomes.
- 00:11:32.570 --> 00:11:34.639

- 00:11:49.821 --> 00:11:52.056
- About like, being smart, you know, or educated because i just come from a family where
- 00:11:52.123 --> 00:11:55.627

- My grandmother had a fifth-grade education and that was it.
- 00:11:58.763 --> 00:11:59.864
- A fifth-grade education and that was it. and so, education
- 00:11:59.931 --> 00:12:00.665
- Wasn't talked about.
- 00:12:00.732 --> 00:12:01.966
- Wasn't talked about. but as i grew older,
- 00:12:02.033 --> 00:12:03.735
- Wasn't talked about. but as i grew older, i felt like the crowds
- 00:12:03.802 --> 00:12:05.236
- But as i grew older, i felt like the crowds that i was amongst,
- 00:12:05.303 --> 00:12:06.304
- I felt like the crowds that i was amongst, everybody had gone to college,
- 00:12:06.371 --> 00:12:07.739
- That i was amongst, everybody had gone to college, and i didn't go to college,

- 00:12:11.776 --> 00:12:13.278
- Until i was in my 40's. and so, everybody was just so smart and so educated
- 00:12:13.344 --> 00:12:14.779

- 00:12:14.846 --> 00:12:16.247

- 00:12:23.721 --> 00:12:25.723
- You know, in my 20's. it just didn't work out. and i started thinking
- 00:12:25.790 --> 00:12:27.425
- It just didn't work out. and i started thinking that that wasn't for me.
- 00:12:27.492 --> 00:12:29.427
- And i started thinking that that wasn't for me. and then i started--
- 00:12:29.494 --> 00:12:31.229
- That that wasn't for me. and then i started-- a little fear started to set
- 00:12:31.296 --> 00:12:32.697
- And then i started-- a little fear started to set in when i had kids because
- 00:12:32.764 --> 00:12:34.365
- A little fear started to set in when i had kids because i started to think that,
- 00:12:34.432 --> 00:12:35.900
- In when i had kids because i started to think that, "oh my gosh, i'm not
- 00:12:35.967 --> 00:12:36.668

- "oh my gosh, i'm not gonna be able to put them through school."
- 00:12:37.468 --> 00:12:38.570
- So, over time,
- 00:12:39.170 --> 00:12:39.637
- So, over time, i have had to just remain,
- 00:12:39.704 --> 00:12:42.273
- So, over time, i have had to just remain, you know, in the word because
- 00:12:42.340 --> 00:12:43.875

- >> kim: yeah. he just doesn't stop. and he's making sure that
- 00:12:52.851 --> 00:12:55.453

- 00:12:55.520 --> 00:12:56.821
- You are going to meditate on what he says instead
- 00:12:56.888 --> 00:12:58.323

- 00:13:05.597 --> 00:13:06.698
- Carrying the bible around no matter where i went because i felt like that
- 00:13:06.764 --> 00:13:09.033
- No matter where i went because i felt like that was just something that
- 00:13:09.100 --> 00:13:10.134
- Because i felt like that was just something that wanted to overtake me,

- 00:13:23.481 --> 00:13:24.482
- That's a good example. >> joyce: yeah, it is a really good example.
- 00:13:24.549 --> 00:13:25.116
- >> joyce: yeah, it is a really good example. and, you know, there's so many--
- 00:13:25.183 --> 00:13:27.151
- Good example. and, you know, there's so many-- there's probably
- 00:13:27.218 --> 00:13:28.119
- And, you know, there's so many-- there's probably 100,000 different examples
- 00:13:28.186 --> 00:13:30.121
- There's probably 100,000 different examples among all the people that
- 00:13:30.188 --> 00:13:31.289
- 100,000 different examples among all the people that are watching today.
- 00:13:31.356 --> 00:13:32.991
- Among all the people that are watching today. we would be amazed
- 00:13:33.057 --> 00:13:34.092
- Are watching today. we would be amazed at the things that people think
- 00:13:34.158 --> 00:13:36.127
- We would be amazed at the things that people think that don't even make any sense.
- 00:13:36.194 --> 00:13:38.229
- >> erin: i made
- 00:13:38.963 --> 00:13:39.497
- >> erin: i made a list last night,
- 00:13:39.564 --> 00:13:40.064
- >> erin: i made a list last night, and i try to do
- 00:13:40.131 --> 00:13:40.832
- A list last night, and i try to do this occasionally.
- 00:13:40.899 --> 00:13:41.432
- And i try to do this occasionally. after you taught me, years ago,
- 00:13:41.499 --> 00:13:42.467
- This occasionally. after you taught me, years ago, i can think about what
- 00:13:42.533 --> 00:13:43.234
- After you taught me, years ago, i can think about what i'm thinking about.
- 00:13:43.301 --> 00:13:44.235
- I can think about what i'm thinking about. i don't know why,
- 00:13:44.302 --> 00:13:44.903
- I'm thinking about. i don't know why, i had never thought of that.
- 00:13:44.969 --> 00:13:46.838
- I don't know why, i had never thought of that. but it's kind of like a base
- 00:13:46.905 --> 00:13:48.673
- Foundation of how to even
- 00:13:48.740 --> 00:13:49.641
- Foundation of how to even start this is, "what is it that
- 00:13:49.707 --> 00:13:51.643
- Foundation of how to even start this is, "what is it that is going through my mind?"
- 00:13:51.709 --> 00:13:52.577
- Start this is, "what is it that is going through my mind?" so, last night, i made a list
- 00:13:52.644 --> 00:13:54.145
- Is going through my mind?" so, last night, i made a list of the things i could
- 00:13:54.212 --> 00:13:54.879
- So, last night, i made a list of the things i could remember having thought
- 00:13:54.946 --> 00:13:55.914
- Of the things i could remember having thought about in like the last 24 hours.
- 00:13:55.980 --> 00:13:57.415
- Remember having thought about in like the last 24 hours. and so, this probably happened
- 00:13:57.482 --> 00:14:00.585
- About in like the last 24 hours. and so, this probably happened a couple of times,
- 00:14:00.652 --> 00:14:01.219
- And so, this probably happened a couple of times, judging my husband,
- 00:14:01.286 --> 00:14:02.153
- A couple of times, judging my husband, some judgmental thoughts,
- 00:14:02.220 --> 00:14:03.755
- Judging my husband, some judgmental thoughts, feeling sorry for myself,
- 00:14:03.821 --> 00:14:06.157
- Some judgmental thoughts, feeling sorry for myself, panic for what ifs.
- 00:14:06.224 --> 00:14:08.026
- Feeling sorry for myself, panic for what ifs. "i'd rather just take a nap
- 00:14:08.092 --> 00:14:09.961
- Panic for what ifs. "i'd rather just take a nap than do the things i gotta do."
- 00:14:10.028 --> 00:14:11.896
- "i'd rather just take a nap than do the things i gotta do." >> [ladies laughing]
- 00:14:11.963 --> 00:14:12.430
- Than do the things i gotta do." >> [ladies laughing] >> erin: that was pretty
- 00:14:12.497 --> 00:14:13.197
- >> [ladies laughing] >> erin: that was pretty high on the list.
- 00:14:13.264 --> 00:14:13.831
- >> erin: that was pretty high on the list. lies from the devil.
- 00:14:13.898 --> 00:14:16.000
- High on the list. lies from the devil. >> joyce: "i'd rather just
- 00:14:16.067 --> 00:14:17.302
- Lies from the devil. >> joyce: "i'd rather just take a nap."
- 00:14:17.368 --> 00:14:17.969
- >> joyce: "i'd rather just take a nap." >> erin: yeah, there was
- 00:14:18.036 --> 00:14:18.836
- Take a nap." >> erin: yeah, there was a lazy spirit in that moment.
- 00:14:18.903 --> 00:14:19.704
- >> erin: yeah, there was a lazy spirit in that moment. >> joyce: sounds kind of good,
- 00:14:19.771 --> 00:14:20.705
- A lazy spirit in that moment. >> joyce: sounds kind of good, really.
- 00:14:20.772 --> 00:14:21.306
- >> erin: right?
- 00:14:21.773 --> 00:14:22.307
- >> erin: right? think about that on purpose.
- 00:14:22.373 --> 00:14:23.107
- >> erin: right? think about that on purpose. lies, i think for me,
- 00:14:23.174 --> 00:14:25.009
- Think about that on purpose. lies, i think for me, kind of what you were
- 00:14:25.076 --> 00:14:25.777
- Lies, i think for me, kind of what you were talking about in a different
- 00:14:25.843 --> 00:14:27.045
- Kind of what you were talking about in a different angle is that "i'll always
- 00:14:27.111 --> 00:14:28.713
- Talking about in a different angle is that "i'll always be the second runner up.
- 00:14:28.780 --> 00:14:30.882
- Angle is that "i'll always be the second runner up. that i won't be the first pick,
- 00:14:30.949 --> 00:14:32.583
- Be the second runner up. that i won't be the first pick, i'll be runner up."
- 00:14:32.650 --> 00:14:35.053
- That i won't be the first pick, i'll be runner up." probably, because of stuff
- 00:14:35.119 --> 00:14:35.653
- I'll be runner up." probably, because of stuff i went through in middle school.
- 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:36.654
- Probably, because of stuff i went through in middle school. so, i can see--i can trace
- 00:14:36.721 --> 00:14:37.956
- I went through in middle school. so, i can see--i can trace where that can come from.
- 00:14:38.022 --> 00:14:38.890
- So, i can see--i can trace where that can come from. so, when i wrote all that down,
- 00:14:38.957 --> 00:14:40.658
- Where that can come from. so, when i wrote all that down, then i know to go to the word
- 00:14:40.725 --> 00:14:42.460
- So, when i wrote all that down, then i know to go to the word and look up what
- 00:14:42.527 --> 00:14:43.461
- Then i know to go to the word and look up what are the scriptures that
- 00:14:43.528 --> 00:14:44.495
- And look up what are the scriptures that are the exact opposite
- 00:14:44.562 --> 00:14:45.496
- Are the scriptures that are the exact opposite of the lie that i'm believing.
- 00:14:45.563 --> 00:14:46.998
- Are the exact opposite of the lie that i'm believing. because i need
- 00:14:47.065 --> 00:14:47.765
- Of the lie that i'm believing. because i need to not think that.
- 00:14:47.832 --> 00:14:48.766
- Because i need to not think that. i need to recognize
- 00:14:48.833 --> 00:14:49.901
- To not think that. i need to recognize when i'm judging mike,
- 00:14:49.968 --> 00:14:50.935
- I need to recognize when i'm judging mike, "actually, here's the truth
- 00:14:51.002 --> 00:14:53.037
- About who he is.
- 00:14:53.104 --> 00:14:53.871
- About who he is. and this really is not
- 00:14:53.938 --> 00:14:54.772
- About who he is. and this really is not that big of a deal.
- 00:14:54.839 --> 00:14:55.540
- And this really is not that big of a deal. this is an erin issue."
- 00:14:55.606 --> 00:14:56.507
- That big of a deal. this is an erin issue." so, that was so helpful
- 00:14:56.574 --> 00:14:59.110
- This is an erin issue." so, that was so helpful to me to do yesterday
- 00:14:59.177 --> 00:14:59.877
- So, that was so helpful to me to do yesterday to recalibrate my thoughts.
- 00:14:59.944 --> 00:15:02.513
- To me to do yesterday to recalibrate my thoughts. >> joyce: you know,
- 00:15:02.580 --> 00:15:03.181
- To recalibrate my thoughts. >> joyce: you know, you're saying something
- 00:15:03.247 --> 00:15:04.349
- >> joyce: you know, you're saying something important, and i actually
- 00:15:04.415 --> 00:15:05.249
- You're saying something important, and i actually thought about it before
- 00:15:05.316 --> 00:15:07.051
- Important, and i actually thought about it before you started talking.
- 00:15:07.118 --> 00:15:08.486
- Thought about it before you started talking. i think today,
- 00:15:08.553 --> 00:15:11.022
- You started talking. i think today, it's so easy just to listen.
- 00:15:11.089 --> 00:15:13.858
- I think today, it's so easy just to listen. we have so many devices that
- 00:15:13.925 --> 00:15:16.194
- It's so easy just to listen. we have so many devices that we can just listen on that
- 00:15:16.260 --> 00:15:19.330
- We have so many devices that we can just listen on that i don't think people actually
- 00:15:19.397 --> 00:15:20.665
- We can just listen on that i don't think people actually get out their bible and look
- 00:15:20.732 --> 00:15:22.433
- I don't think people actually get out their bible and look up scriptures like they used to.
- 00:15:22.500 --> 00:15:25.670
- Get out their bible and look up scriptures like they used to. that's--you know,
- 00:15:25.737 --> 00:15:26.437
- Up scriptures like they used to. that's--you know, you can hear me say this.
- 00:15:26.504 --> 00:15:29.440
- That's--you know, you can hear me say this. but i believe wholeheartedly
- 00:15:29.507 --> 00:15:32.110
- You can hear me say this. but i believe wholeheartedly that if you actually
- 00:15:32.176 --> 00:15:33.244
- But i believe wholeheartedly that if you actually take the trouble
- 00:15:33.311 --> 00:15:34.112
- That if you actually take the trouble to look it up yourself...
- 00:15:34.178 --> 00:15:36.014
- Take the trouble to look it up yourself... >> erin: yes.
- 00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:36.481
- To look it up yourself... >> erin: yes. >> joyce: and read it
- 00:15:36.547 --> 00:15:37.281

- >> joyce: and read it and see it, there's just-- and i know that it's just paper
- 00:15:39.951 --> 00:15:41.419
- And see it, there's just-- and i know that it's just paper that it holds no magic power,
- 00:15:41.486 --> 00:15:43.955
- And i know that it's just paper that it holds no magic power, but there is something
- 00:15:44.022 --> 00:15:47.258
- That it holds no magic power, but there is something about just looking
- 00:15:47.325 --> 00:15:48.926
- But there is something about just looking at the written word.
- 00:15:48.993 --> 00:15:51.195
- About just looking at the written word. >> ginger: that's true.
- 00:15:51.262 --> 00:15:52.196
- At the written word. >> ginger: that's true. it sticks with us.

- >> ginger: that's true. it sticks with us. >> joyce: we don't wanna get
- 00:15:55.500 --> 00:15:57.235
- It sticks with us. >> joyce: we don't wanna get a lazy spirit because everything
- 00:15:57.301 --> 00:15:59.203
- >> joyce: we don't wanna get a lazy spirit because everything has been made so easy today.
- 00:15:59.270 --> 00:16:02.140
- A lazy spirit because everything has been made so easy today. it's just at your fingertips.

- 00:16:10.715 --> 00:16:13.317
- I mean, what i had to go through to prepare a message was 10 times, 20 times, 30 times
- 00:16:13.384 --> 00:16:15.420
- To prepare a message was 10 times, 20 times, 30 times more than what it is today.

- And i used to have to look those up. i'd have to go
- 00:16:27.665 --> 00:16:28.266
- To look those up. i'd have to go to the concordance
- 00:16:28.332 --> 00:16:28.900
- I'd have to go to the concordance and then look it up,

- To the concordance and then look it up, and look it up.
- 00:16:30.001 --> 00:16:30.601
- And then look it up, and look it up. and if i wanted to know
- 00:16:30.668 --> 00:16:31.669
- And look it up. and if i wanted to know what it meant, i had to get
- 00:16:31.736 --> 00:16:32.904
- And if i wanted to know what it meant, i had to get out a greek dictionary

- >> erin: which i think we miss. we miss probably all the things that you
- 00:16:44.182 --> 00:16:45.016
- We miss probably all the things that you learned that are so deep

- All the things that you learned that are so deep in your heart and in your
- 00:16:46.350 --> 00:16:47.552

- We miss out on. because if i don't have to put that much effort into it,
- 00:16:52.190 --> 00:16:53.391
- Because if i don't have to put that much effort into it, then it's not changing me
- 00:16:53.458 --> 00:16:54.459
- That much effort into it, then it's not changing me the way that it changed you.
- 00:16:54.525 --> 00:16:55.927
- Then it's not changing me the way that it changed you. so, it's a disservice
- 00:16:55.993 --> 00:16:56.994
- The way that it changed you. so, it's a disservice to ourselves if we're
- 00:16:57.061 --> 00:16:57.862
- So, it's a disservice to ourselves if we're not putting in that work.
