>> joyce: you need to have
00:00:00.590 --> 00:00:01.391
>> joyce: you need to have confidence, not in yourself,
00:00:01.458 --> 00:00:03.426
>> joyce: you need to have confidence, not in yourself, but confidence in god that
00:00:03.493 --> 00:00:04.994
Confidence, not in yourself, but confidence in god that whatever he says you can have,
00:00:05.061 --> 00:00:06.796
But confidence in god that whatever he says you can have, you can have, and whatever
00:00:06.863 --> 00:00:08.264
Whatever he says you can have, you can have, and whatever he says you can do, you can do,
00:00:08.331 --> 00:00:10.233
You can have, and whatever he says you can do, you can do, and don't let anybody
00:00:10.300 --> 00:00:11.868
He says you can do, you can do, and don't let anybody talk you out of it.
00:00:11.935 --> 00:00:13.103
>> joyce: i'm joyce meyer,
00:00:13.870 --> 00:00:14.771
>> joyce: i'm joyce meyer, and i believe that god can heal
00:00:14.838 --> 00:00:17.173
>> joyce: i'm joyce meyer, and i believe that god can heal you everywhere you hurt.
00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:19.809
>> joyce: what do you
00:00:24.147 --> 00:00:24.948
>> joyce: what do you think of yourself?
00:00:25.014 --> 00:00:27.050
>> joyce: what do you think of yourself? you know, we all have
00:00:27.117 --> 00:00:27.784
Think of yourself? you know, we all have a relationship with our self.
00:00:27.851 --> 00:00:29.619
You know, we all have a relationship with our self. did you know that?
00:00:29.686 --> 00:00:31.488
A relationship with our self. did you know that? and if you don't have a good
00:00:31.554 --> 00:00:32.789
Did you know that? and if you don't have a good relationship with yourself,
00:00:32.856 --> 00:00:35.825
And if you don't have a good relationship with yourself, you're not gonna have a good
00:00:35.892 --> 00:00:36.893
Relationship with yourself, you're not gonna have a good relationship with other people.
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:38.962
You're not gonna have a good relationship with other people. it's really very simple.
00:00:39.028 --> 00:00:41.297
When you break it down,
00:00:41.364 --> 00:00:42.132
When you break it down, you can't give somebody
00:00:42.198 --> 00:00:43.933
When you break it down, you can't give somebody what you don't have.
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.569
You can't give somebody what you don't have. and so, i tried and tried
00:00:46.636 --> 00:00:49.038
What you don't have. and so, i tried and tried for years to love people
00:00:49.105 --> 00:00:50.240
And so, i tried and tried for years to love people because i was hearing in church,
00:00:50.306 --> 00:00:51.541
For years to love people because i was hearing in church, "we need to love each other.
00:00:51.608 --> 00:00:52.442
Because i was hearing in church, "we need to love each other. we need to love each other."
00:00:52.509 --> 00:00:53.443
"we need to love each other. we need to love each other." and i just really was
00:00:53.510 --> 00:00:54.511
We need to love each other." and i just really was having a hard time doin' it.
00:00:54.577 --> 00:00:56.646
And i just really was having a hard time doin' it. and then god revealed to me that
00:00:56.713 --> 00:00:58.014
Having a hard time doin' it. and then god revealed to me that i could never love other people
00:00:58.081 --> 00:00:59.749
And then god revealed to me that i could never love other people until i learned to love myself.
00:00:59.816 --> 00:01:03.720
I could never love other people until i learned to love myself. and so, if you're blaming
00:01:03.786 --> 00:01:05.955
Until i learned to love myself. and so, if you're blaming yourself for anything that's
00:01:06.022 --> 00:01:09.626
And so, if you're blaming yourself for anything that's from this moment backward,
00:01:09.692 --> 00:01:13.129
Yourself for anything that's from this moment backward, i want you to forget
00:01:13.196 --> 00:01:14.330
From this moment backward, i want you to forget it and let it go.
00:01:14.397 --> 00:01:15.865
I want you to forget it and let it go. because that's what
00:01:15.932 --> 00:01:16.799
It and let it go. because that's what god does with our sins.
00:01:16.866 --> 00:01:18.668
Because that's what god does with our sins. >> [audience applauding]
00:01:18.735 --> 00:01:20.570
>> joyce: you're not
00:01:20.937 --> 00:01:21.471
>> joyce: you're not helping yourself.
00:01:21.538 --> 00:01:23.973
>> joyce: you're not helping yourself. you're not changing anything
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:27.076
Helping yourself. you're not changing anything by being mad at yourself
00:01:27.143 --> 00:01:28.244
You're not changing anything by being mad at yourself because of mistakes
00:01:28.311 --> 00:01:29.112
By being mad at yourself because of mistakes you've made in the past.
00:01:29.179 --> 00:01:30.213
Because of mistakes you've made in the past. if you ask god to,
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.082
You've made in the past. if you ask god to, he will use your
00:01:33.149 --> 00:01:33.950
If you ask god to, he will use your mistakes some way,
00:01:34.017 --> 00:01:36.786
He will use your mistakes some way, some how in your life,
00:01:36.853 --> 00:01:38.488
Mistakes some way, some how in your life, he will work them out
00:01:38.555 --> 00:01:39.789
Some how in your life, he will work them out for your good.
00:01:39.856 --> 00:01:40.423
He will work them out for your good. and i believe that
00:01:40.490 --> 00:01:41.591
For your good. and i believe that with all of my heart.
00:01:41.658 --> 00:01:42.892
And i believe that with all of my heart. >> audience: amen.
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:43.760
With all of my heart. >> audience: amen. >> [audience applauding]
00:01:43.826 --> 00:01:44.794
>> audience: amen. >> [audience applauding] >> joyce: but we have
00:01:44.861 --> 00:01:45.662
>> [audience applauding] >> joyce: but we have to believe.
00:01:45.728 --> 00:01:47.397
>> joyce: but we have to believe. see, i can do something
00:01:47.463 --> 00:01:48.164
To believe. see, i can do something really stupid back over here
00:01:48.231 --> 00:01:49.332
See, i can do something really stupid back over here and if i just believe,
00:01:49.399 --> 00:01:50.500
Really stupid back over here and if i just believe, "well, that's always gonna
00:01:50.567 --> 00:01:51.301
And if i just believe, "well, that's always gonna affect me."
00:01:51.367 --> 00:01:51.968
"well, that's always gonna affect me." then it's always going
00:01:52.035 --> 00:01:52.602
Affect me." then it's always going to affect me.
00:01:52.669 --> 00:01:54.504
And that's what i did believe
00:01:54.571 --> 00:01:55.605
And that's what i did believe for a long time.
00:01:55.672 --> 00:01:56.506
And that's what i did believe for a long time. i felt like because i'd been
00:01:56.573 --> 00:01:57.473
For a long time. i felt like because i'd been sexually abused by my father,
00:01:57.540 --> 00:01:58.841
I felt like because i'd been sexually abused by my father, that i would always
00:01:58.908 --> 00:01:59.475
Sexually abused by my father, that i would always have a second-rate life.
00:01:59.542 --> 00:02:00.643
That i would always have a second-rate life. i planned on it.
00:02:00.710 --> 00:02:04.547
Have a second-rate life. i planned on it. i didn't even have any thought
00:02:04.614 --> 00:02:05.748
I planned on it. i didn't even have any thought of havin' a great life.
00:02:05.815 --> 00:02:08.017
I didn't even have any thought of havin' a great life. i just get by.
00:02:08.084 --> 00:02:13.356
Of havin' a great life. i just get by. until i started
00:02:13.423 --> 00:02:14.090
I just get by. until i started studying the word.
00:02:14.157 --> 00:02:16.726
Until i started studying the word. don't you thank god
00:02:16.793 --> 00:02:17.493
Studying the word. don't you thank god for the word?
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:18.895
Amen.
00:02:19.662 --> 00:02:20.029
Amen. >> [audience applauding]
00:02:20.096 --> 00:02:21.464
Amen. >> [audience applauding] >> joyce: and i found out that
00:02:21.531 --> 00:02:24.133
>> [audience applauding] >> joyce: and i found out that the apostle paul said that,
00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:25.468
>> joyce: and i found out that the apostle paul said that, one thing that was more
00:02:25.535 --> 00:02:26.569
The apostle paul said that, one thing that was more important to him than
00:02:26.636 --> 00:02:27.303
One thing that was more important to him than anything else.
00:02:27.370 --> 00:02:28.037
Important to him than anything else. and you know,
00:02:28.104 --> 00:02:28.671
Anything else. and you know, that in itself is a mouthful,
00:02:28.738 --> 00:02:31.107
And you know, that in itself is a mouthful, "the one thing that's
00:02:31.174 --> 00:02:31.841
That in itself is a mouthful, "the one thing that's more important to me
00:02:31.908 --> 00:02:32.609
"the one thing that's more important to me than anything else,
00:02:32.675 --> 00:02:33.743
More important to me than anything else, my determined purpose
00:02:33.810 --> 00:02:34.844
Than anything else, my determined purpose is to let go of what
00:02:34.911 --> 00:02:38.848
My determined purpose is to let go of what lies behind."
00:02:38.915 --> 00:02:40.583
Is to let go of what lies behind." and, you know, paul had
00:02:40.650 --> 00:02:41.784
Made a lot of mistakes.
00:02:41.851 --> 00:02:42.652
Made a lot of mistakes. he'd been persecuting
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:43.620
Made a lot of mistakes. he'd been persecuting christians, rounding 'em
00:02:43.686 --> 00:02:46.155
He'd been persecuting christians, rounding 'em up to be jailed and beaten.
00:02:46.222 --> 00:02:49.859
Christians, rounding 'em up to be jailed and beaten. and then god appeared to him
00:02:49.926 --> 00:02:51.027
Up to be jailed and beaten. and then god appeared to him on the damascus road,
00:02:51.094 --> 00:02:52.195
And then god appeared to him on the damascus road, purely an act of grace.
00:02:52.262 --> 00:02:53.496
On the damascus road, purely an act of grace. paul didn't deserve it,
00:02:53.563 --> 00:02:54.464
Purely an act of grace. paul didn't deserve it, just like we don't deserve it.
00:02:54.530 --> 00:02:57.333
Paul didn't deserve it, just like we don't deserve it. and boy, paul could
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:58.101
Just like we don't deserve it. and boy, paul could understand grace because
00:02:58.167 --> 00:02:59.435
And boy, paul could understand grace because he'd been given grace.
00:02:59.502 --> 00:03:02.472
Understand grace because he'd been given grace. and i'm sure the devil
00:03:02.538 --> 00:03:03.339
He'd been given grace. and i'm sure the devil brought his past up to him,
00:03:03.406 --> 00:03:04.607
And i'm sure the devil brought his past up to him, just like the devil tries
00:03:04.674 --> 00:03:05.708
Brought his past up to him, just like the devil tries to bring our past up to us.
00:03:05.775 --> 00:03:08.745
Just like the devil tries to bring our past up to us. you ever have those mornings
00:03:08.811 --> 00:03:09.679
To bring our past up to us. you ever have those mornings where when you
00:03:09.746 --> 00:03:10.313
You ever have those mornings where when you wake up the first--
00:03:10.380 --> 00:03:11.247
Where when you wake up the first-- before you're fully awake,
00:03:11.314 --> 00:03:12.749
Wake up the first-- before you're fully awake, the first thing you find
00:03:12.815 --> 00:03:13.683
Before you're fully awake, the first thing you find yourself thinkin' is about
00:03:13.750 --> 00:03:14.651
The first thing you find yourself thinkin' is about all the dumb stuff
00:03:14.717 --> 00:03:15.418
Yourself thinkin' is about all the dumb stuff you did the day before?
00:03:15.485 --> 00:03:17.220
All the dumb stuff you did the day before? >> [audience laughing]
00:03:17.287 --> 00:03:20.890
You did the day before? >> [audience laughing] >> joyce: you know, guilt--
00:03:20.957 --> 00:03:23.259
>> [audience laughing] >> joyce: you know, guilt-- our guilt is our way
00:03:23.326 --> 00:03:24.794
>> joyce: you know, guilt-- our guilt is our way of trying to pay for our sin.
00:03:24.861 --> 00:03:28.031
Our guilt is our way of trying to pay for our sin. but you see,
00:03:28.097 --> 00:03:28.665
Of trying to pay for our sin. but you see, jesus has already done that,
00:03:28.731 --> 00:03:31.200
But you see, jesus has already done that, and he doesn't need your help
00:03:31.267 --> 00:03:32.335
Jesus has already done that, and he doesn't need your help and he doesn't need my help.
00:03:32.402 --> 00:03:35.738
And he doesn't need your help and he doesn't need my help. he either did a complete
00:03:35.805 --> 00:03:36.673
And he doesn't need my help. he either did a complete job or he didn't.
00:03:36.739 --> 00:03:37.340
He either did a complete job or he didn't. and he wants us
00:03:37.407 --> 00:03:38.007
Job or he didn't. and he wants us to believe that he did.
00:03:38.074 --> 00:03:39.676
And he wants us to believe that he did. and i admit,
00:03:39.742 --> 00:03:41.311
To believe that he did. and i admit, it is hard when you have
00:03:41.377 --> 00:03:43.112
And i admit, it is hard when you have really done something
00:03:43.179 --> 00:03:44.614
It is hard when you have really done something bad to just repent
00:03:44.681 --> 00:03:47.717
Really done something bad to just repent and let it go and go on.
00:03:47.784 --> 00:03:52.622
Bad to just repent and let it go and go on. but that's what god
00:03:52.689 --> 00:03:53.389
And let it go and go on. but that's what god tells us to do,
00:03:53.456 --> 00:03:55.091
But that's what god tells us to do, because he needs every
00:03:55.158 --> 00:03:56.359
Tells us to do, because he needs every single one of us fully
00:03:56.426 --> 00:03:58.027
Because he needs every single one of us fully operational in the kingdom,
00:03:58.094 --> 00:04:01.564
Single one of us fully operational in the kingdom, because there is so much
00:04:01.631 --> 00:04:04.133
Operational in the kingdom, because there is so much to be done.
00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:04.767
Because there is so much to be done. and i'm not sayin' that you need
00:04:04.834 --> 00:04:06.536
To be done. and i'm not sayin' that you need to be in full-time ministry,
00:04:06.602 --> 00:04:08.204
And i'm not sayin' that you need to be in full-time ministry, but at your place of work,
00:04:08.271 --> 00:04:09.872
To be in full-time ministry, but at your place of work, over your backyard fence,
00:04:09.939 --> 00:04:11.441
But at your place of work, over your backyard fence, in your neighborhood,
00:04:11.507 --> 00:04:12.308
Over your backyard fence, in your neighborhood, at school, wherever you're at,
00:04:12.375 --> 00:04:14.444
In your neighborhood, at school, wherever you're at, the world needs to see
00:04:14.510 --> 00:04:16.279
At school, wherever you're at, the world needs to see jesus and they're only
00:04:16.346 --> 00:04:17.914
The world needs to see jesus and they're only gonna see him through us.
00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:19.816
Jesus and they're only gonna see him through us. >> [audience applauding]

"the lord told moses to send out men to explore and scout out the land of canaan--"
00:06:45.761 --> 00:06:46.796
Out men to explore and scout out the land of canaan--" or what they had

Called the promised land. god had told 'em that he was gonna give them this

God had told 'em that he was gonna give them this land that flowed with milk

He was gonna give them this land that flowed with milk and honey and every good
00:06:54.136 --> 00:06:55.505
Land that flowed with milk and honey and every good thing that you could imagine.
00:06:55.571 --> 00:07:01.043
And honey and every good thing that you could imagine. and it says, "from each
00:07:01.110 --> 00:07:01.911
Thing that you could imagine. and it says, "from each tribe of their fathers
00:07:01.978 --> 00:07:03.012
And it says, "from each tribe of their fathers you will send one man,

Tribe of their fathers you will send one man, every one to leader

You will send one man, every one to leader or head among them."
00:07:07.483 --> 00:07:08.651
Every one to leader or head among them." so, he said, "from every tribe,
00:07:08.718 --> 00:07:09.919
Or head among them." so, he said, "from every tribe, pick out a leader and send them
00:07:09.986 --> 00:07:12.021
So, he said, "from every tribe, pick out a leader and send them into this land that i promised

Pick out a leader and send them into this land that i promised you to see if what i've told you
00:07:15.358 --> 00:07:23.599
Into this land that i promised you to see if what i've told you is true or not."
00:07:23.666 --> 00:07:24.333
You to see if what i've told you is true or not." now, that's not the exact
00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:25.301
Is true or not." now, that's not the exact wording here,
00:07:25.368 --> 00:07:25.968
Now, that's not the exact wording here, but that's in essence
00:07:26.035 --> 00:07:26.903
Wording here, but that's in essence what they were doin'.
00:07:26.969 --> 00:07:28.638
But that's in essence what they were doin'. "so moses by the command
00:07:28.704 --> 00:07:30.039
What they were doin'. "so moses by the command of the lord sent scouts from
00:07:30.106 --> 00:07:31.340
"so moses by the command of the lord sent scouts from the wilderness of paran,

Of the lord sent scouts from the wilderness of paran, all of them men who were
00:07:32.475 --> 00:07:34.710
The wilderness of paran, all of them men who were heads of the israelites."
00:07:34.777 --> 00:07:36.846
All of them men who were heads of the israelites." he keeps making the point
00:07:36.913 --> 00:07:37.813
Heads of the israelites." he keeps making the point that they were leaders.
00:07:37.880 --> 00:07:41.617
And, you know,
00:07:41.684 --> 00:07:43.319
And, you know, people follow leadership
00:07:43.386 --> 00:07:44.654
And, you know, people follow leadership if it's good leadership.
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.455
People follow leadership if it's good leadership. so, if the leaders
00:07:46.522 --> 00:07:47.657
If it's good leadership. so, if the leaders came back and said,
00:07:47.723 --> 00:07:49.392
So, if the leaders came back and said, "this is a good land.
00:07:49.458 --> 00:07:51.327
Came back and said, "this is a good land. the fruit is there
00:07:51.394 --> 00:07:52.094
"this is a good land. the fruit is there that god promised.
00:07:52.161 --> 00:07:53.696
The fruit is there that god promised. let's go in."
00:07:53.763 --> 00:07:55.898
That god promised. let's go in." they would have followed
00:07:55.965 --> 00:07:57.667
Let's go in." they would have followed those leaders.
00:07:57.733 --> 00:07:59.569
They would have followed those leaders. and you see, somethin' you--
00:07:59.635 --> 00:08:01.003
Those leaders. and you see, somethin' you-- maybe you've never heard this,
00:08:01.070 --> 00:08:02.104
And you see, somethin' you-- maybe you've never heard this, i don't know, but--
00:08:02.171 --> 00:08:04.974
Maybe you've never heard this, i don't know, but-- "possess the land,"
00:08:05.041 --> 00:08:06.509
I don't know, but-- "possess the land," what does it mean
00:08:06.576 --> 00:08:07.176
"possess the land," what does it mean to possess the land?
00:08:07.243 --> 00:08:08.945
What does it mean to possess the land? it doesn't mean that you just
00:08:09.011 --> 00:08:10.279
To possess the land? it doesn't mean that you just walk in and take the land.
00:08:10.346 --> 00:08:12.348
It doesn't mean that you just walk in and take the land. if you study that word
00:08:12.415 --> 00:08:13.316
Walk in and take the land. if you study that word in the original language,
00:08:13.382 --> 00:08:14.984
If you study that word in the original language, to possess the land
00:08:15.051 --> 00:08:17.453
In the original language, to possess the land meant that you first had
00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:18.754
To possess the land meant that you first had to dispossess the people
00:08:18.821 --> 00:08:20.489
Meant that you first had to dispossess the people that were on your land.
00:08:20.556 --> 00:08:25.928
To dispossess the people that were on your land. so, you have many things that
00:08:25.995 --> 00:08:28.531
That were on your land. so, you have many things that god has promised you and told
00:08:28.598 --> 00:08:29.966
So, you have many things that god has promised you and told you in his word or yours,
00:08:30.032 --> 00:08:31.567
God has promised you and told you in his word or yours, but you may have to run
00:08:31.634 --> 00:08:32.735
You in his word or yours, but you may have to run a few devils off.
00:08:32.802 --> 00:08:35.905

00:08:45.114 --> 00:08:49.552
I don't know of any lies
00:08:51.087 --> 00:08:52.288
I don't know of any lies that i still believe,
00:08:52.355 --> 00:08:53.089
I don't know of any lies that i still believe, but i bet there's still some--

A natural born son, he could. but if he had an adopted son, he could not for any

It's ours because of what jesus has done for us. amen?

But! but you gotta believe that. and you gotta be bold enough,

But you gotta believe that. and you gotta be bold enough, even when you've made mistakes,
00:10:24.880 --> 00:10:26.515
And you gotta be bold enough, even when you've made mistakes, to claim it and say,
00:10:26.582 --> 00:10:27.983
Even when you've made mistakes, to claim it and say, "it's mine, devil,
00:10:28.050 --> 00:10:29.051
To claim it and say, "it's mine, devil, and you are not gonna
00:10:29.118 --> 00:10:30.219
"it's mine, devil, and you are not gonna take it away from me because
00:10:30.286 --> 00:10:32.321
And you are not gonna take it away from me because my sins are forgiven
00:10:32.388 --> 00:10:33.856
Take it away from me because my sins are forgiven and completely washed away!"
00:10:33.923 --> 00:10:36.726
>> joyce: well, what
00:10:39.061 --> 00:10:39.695

00:10:39.762 --> 00:10:41.464
>> joyce: well, what do you think of yourself? you know, it's a very
00:10:41.530 --> 00:10:42.498
Do you think of yourself? you know, it's a very important question and your

Answer impacts the quality of your life. god took care of our sins
00:10:47.470 --> 00:10:48.971
Of your life. god took care of our sins through jesus' sacrifice.
00:10:49.038 --> 00:10:50.673
God took care of our sins through jesus' sacrifice. so now we need to view
00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:51.741
Through jesus' sacrifice. so now we need to view ourselves as he does,
00:10:51.807 --> 00:10:53.342
So now we need to view ourselves as he does, forgiven and renewed.
00:10:53.409 --> 00:10:55.044
Ourselves as he does, forgiven and renewed. we need to align our thoughts
00:10:55.111 --> 00:10:56.912
Forgiven and renewed. we need to align our thoughts about who we are with god's
00:10:56.979 --> 00:10:58.514
We need to align our thoughts about who we are with god's truth about us in the bible.
00:10:58.581 --> 00:11:00.716
About who we are with god's truth about us in the bible. today, ginger joins me with
00:11:00.783 --> 00:11:02.051
Truth about us in the bible. today, ginger joins me with some great questions from you,
00:11:02.118 --> 00:11:04.420
Today, ginger joins me with some great questions from you, our viewers, on this topic.
00:11:04.487 --> 00:11:06.622
Some great questions from you, our viewers, on this topic. >> ginger: we do have some
00:11:06.689 --> 00:11:07.490
Our viewers, on this topic. >> ginger: we do have some good questions.
00:11:07.556 --> 00:11:08.190
>> ginger: we do have some good questions. and i think most people
00:11:08.257 --> 00:11:10.593
Good questions. and i think most people want to do exactly
00:11:10.659 --> 00:11:12.561
And i think most people want to do exactly what you're saying.
00:11:12.628 --> 00:11:13.796
We want to think about
00:11:14.330 --> 00:11:16.532
We want to think about ourselves rightly, because
00:11:16.599 --> 00:11:18.067
We want to think about ourselves rightly, because we know how important it is,
00:11:18.134 --> 00:11:19.635
Ourselves rightly, because we know how important it is, but because of circumstances
00:11:19.702 --> 00:11:21.804
We know how important it is, but because of circumstances and things that have happened
00:11:21.871 --> 00:11:23.506
But because of circumstances and things that have happened to us or what other people
00:11:23.572 --> 00:11:25.174
And things that have happened to us or what other people have told us, it's just not
00:11:25.241 --> 00:11:26.809
Always that easy to do.
00:11:26.876 --> 00:11:28.477
Always that easy to do. >> joyce: well, you know,
00:11:28.544 --> 00:11:29.245
Always that easy to do. >> joyce: well, you know, i went for a long time, ginger,
00:11:29.311 --> 00:11:31.914
>> joyce: well, you know, i went for a long time, ginger, and i never even thought about
00:11:31.981 --> 00:11:34.250
I went for a long time, ginger, and i never even thought about how i thought about myself.
00:11:34.316 --> 00:11:36.619
And i never even thought about how i thought about myself. i wasn't thinking very good
00:11:36.685 --> 00:11:37.853
How i thought about myself. i wasn't thinking very good of myself, but i didn't--
00:11:37.920 --> 00:11:39.955
I wasn't thinking very good of myself, but i didn't-- i didn't even comprehend
00:11:40.022 --> 00:11:41.257
Of myself, but i didn't-- i didn't even comprehend that i had all kinds of bad
00:11:41.323 --> 00:11:44.460
I didn't even comprehend that i had all kinds of bad thoughts about myself until
00:11:44.527 --> 00:11:46.629
That i had all kinds of bad thoughts about myself until god started teaching me,
00:11:46.695 --> 00:11:49.198
Thoughts about myself until god started teaching me, "what do you think of yourself?"
00:11:49.265 --> 00:11:51.167
God started teaching me, "what do you think of yourself?" and it's--
00:11:51.233 --> 00:11:52.802
"what do you think of yourself?" and it's-- i just want to say up front that
00:11:52.868 --> 00:11:54.770
And it's-- i just want to say up front that everything that we are that's
00:11:54.837 --> 00:11:55.905
I just want to say up front that everything that we are that's good is because we're in christ.
00:11:55.971 --> 00:11:59.074
Everything that we are that's good is because we're in christ. it's not just ourselves,
00:11:59.141 --> 00:12:02.344
Good is because we're in christ. it's not just ourselves, it's in christ.
00:12:02.411 --> 00:12:03.913
It's not just ourselves, it's in christ. and those two little words
00:12:03.979 --> 00:12:05.447
It's in christ. and those two little words are all over the new testament.
00:12:05.514 --> 00:12:07.983
And those two little words are all over the new testament. and if we would just believe
00:12:08.050 --> 00:12:10.319
Are all over the new testament. and if we would just believe that we are who he says we
00:12:10.386 --> 00:12:11.954
And if we would just believe that we are who he says we are in him, even though we may
00:12:12.021 --> 00:12:14.256
That we are who he says we are in him, even though we may not act like it yet in god's
00:12:14.323 --> 00:12:16.492
Are in him, even though we may not act like it yet in god's economy, you believe first
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.027
Not act like it yet in god's economy, you believe first and then you see the result.
00:12:18.093 --> 00:12:19.895
Economy, you believe first and then you see the result. and in the world, they want
00:12:19.962 --> 00:12:21.797
And then you see the result. and in the world, they want to have the result before
00:12:21.864 --> 00:12:24.033
And in the world, they want to have the result before they claim that they have it.
00:12:24.099 --> 00:12:25.835
To have the result before they claim that they have it. >> ginger: and it does make
00:12:25.901 --> 00:12:26.769
They claim that they have it. >> ginger: and it does make a difference.
00:12:26.836 --> 00:12:28.003
>> ginger: and it does make a difference. sometimes we think--
00:12:28.070 --> 00:12:30.673
A difference. sometimes we think-- the words that are
00:12:30.739 --> 00:12:31.307
Sometimes we think-- the words that are floating around in my head
00:12:31.373 --> 00:12:33.108
The words that are floating around in my head don't make a difference,
00:12:33.175 --> 00:12:34.777
Floating around in my head don't make a difference, but it changes who we are.
00:12:34.844 --> 00:12:36.545
Don't make a difference, but it changes who we are. so here's the first
00:12:36.612 --> 00:12:37.947
But it changes who we are. so here's the first question from karen.
00:12:38.013 --> 00:12:38.948
So here's the first question from karen. "for some time now,
00:12:39.014 --> 00:12:40.282
Question from karen. "for some time now, i've struggled to know
00:12:40.349 --> 00:12:41.350
"for some time now, i've struggled to know in my heart who i am in christ.
00:12:41.417 --> 00:12:43.686
I've struggled to know in my heart who i am in christ. how can i get what i know
00:12:43.752 --> 00:12:45.321
In my heart who i am in christ. how can i get what i know in my head about what
00:12:45.387 --> 00:12:47.122
How can i get what i know in my head about what scripture says, who i am,
00:12:47.189 --> 00:12:48.457
In my head about what scripture says, who i am, to reach my heart?"
00:12:48.524 --> 00:12:49.892
Scripture says, who i am, to reach my heart?" >> joyce: to continue
00:12:49.959 --> 00:12:50.860
To reach my heart?" >> joyce: to continue to meditate on it,
00:12:50.926 --> 00:12:51.894
>> joyce: to continue to meditate on it, continue to study it,
00:12:51.961 --> 00:12:53.529
To meditate on it, continue to study it, continue to think about it.
00:12:53.596 --> 00:12:55.331
Continue to study it, continue to think about it. i would even make a list
00:12:55.397 --> 00:12:56.999
Continue to think about it. i would even make a list of confessions and just
00:12:57.066 --> 00:12:59.168
I would even make a list of confessions and just declare those things out loud
00:12:59.235 --> 00:13:00.703
Of confessions and just declare those things out loud a couple times a day.
00:13:00.769 --> 00:13:03.239
Declare those things out loud a couple times a day. it really is repetition,
00:13:03.305 --> 00:13:04.907
A couple times a day. it really is repetition, meditation on the word.
00:13:04.974 --> 00:13:06.408
The bible tells us to study
00:13:07.009 --> 00:13:07.810
The bible tells us to study the word, but it also says
00:13:07.877 --> 00:13:09.245
The bible tells us to study the word, but it also says to meditate on the word.
00:13:09.311 --> 00:13:10.512
The word, but it also says to meditate on the word. and to meditate just means
00:13:10.579 --> 00:13:12.815
To meditate on the word. and to meditate just means to roll something over
00:13:12.882 --> 00:13:14.016
And to meditate just means to roll something over and over and over in your mind.
00:13:14.083 --> 00:13:16.185
To roll something over and over and over in your mind. and i tell people,
00:13:16.252 --> 00:13:17.086
And over and over in your mind. and i tell people, if you know how to worry,
00:13:17.152 --> 00:13:18.087
And i tell people, if you know how to worry, you know how to meditate.
00:13:18.153 --> 00:13:19.889
If you know how to worry, you know how to meditate. >> ginger: yeah, yeah.
00:13:19.955 --> 00:13:20.856
You know how to meditate. >> ginger: yeah, yeah. okay, next question.
00:13:20.923 --> 00:13:22.591
>> ginger: yeah, yeah. okay, next question. "what is the first step
00:13:22.658 --> 00:13:24.026
Okay, next question. "what is the first step when trying to love
00:13:24.093 --> 00:13:25.394
"what is the first step when trying to love and forgive yourself?"
00:13:25.461 --> 00:13:28.297
When trying to love and forgive yourself?" >> joyce: the first step
00:13:28.364 --> 00:13:29.031
And forgive yourself?" >> joyce: the first step is to ask god to help you do it.
00:13:29.098 --> 00:13:32.167
>> joyce: the first step is to ask god to help you do it. because you can't do it.
00:13:32.234 --> 00:13:33.068
Is to ask god to help you do it. because you can't do it. >> ginger: that's huge, yeah.
00:13:33.135 --> 00:13:33.903
Because you can't do it. >> ginger: that's huge, yeah. >> joyce: you can't
00:13:33.969 --> 00:13:34.536
>> ginger: that's huge, yeah. >> joyce: you can't do it without his help.
00:13:34.603 --> 00:13:37.106
>> joyce: you can't do it without his help. and, you know,
00:13:37.172 --> 00:13:37.973
Do it without his help. and, you know, one of the simplest
00:13:38.040 --> 00:13:38.841
And, you know, one of the simplest prayers to pray is,
00:13:38.908 --> 00:13:40.876
One of the simplest prayers to pray is, "god, you're good.
00:13:40.943 --> 00:13:41.877
Prayers to pray is, "god, you're good. help me."
00:13:41.944 --> 00:13:44.346
"god, you're good. help me." "help me."
00:13:44.413 --> 00:13:44.713
Help me." "help me." when?
00:13:44.780 --> 00:13:45.414
"help me." when? anytime that you--
00:13:45.481 --> 00:13:47.716
When? anytime that you-- or help them.
00:13:47.783 --> 00:13:48.484
Anytime that you-- or help them. you know, if you see somebody
00:13:48.550 --> 00:13:49.518
Or help them. you know, if you see somebody else that you can tell
00:13:49.585 --> 00:13:51.520
You know, if you see somebody else that you can tell needs help, but you may not
00:13:51.587 --> 00:13:52.655
Else that you can tell needs help, but you may not know exactly what it is,
00:13:52.721 --> 00:13:54.290
Needs help, but you may not know exactly what it is, they just look unhappy.
00:13:54.356 --> 00:13:55.591
Know exactly what it is, they just look unhappy. just--
00:13:55.658 --> 00:13:57.159
If we're sincere, god answers
00:13:57.226 --> 00:13:59.194
If we're sincere, god answers really simple prayers.
00:13:59.261 --> 00:14:00.596
If we're sincere, god answers really simple prayers. they don't have to be long.
00:14:00.663 --> 00:14:01.563
Really simple prayers. they don't have to be long. so the first thing she needs
00:14:01.630 --> 00:14:02.631
They don't have to be long. so the first thing she needs to do is ask god to help her
00:14:02.698 --> 00:14:06.502
So the first thing she needs to do is ask god to help her think about herself the way
00:14:06.568 --> 00:14:08.037

It will get down into your heart if you stick with it long enough.
00:14:16.111 --> 00:14:17.613
When i first started,
00:14:18.047 --> 00:14:19.048
When i first started, i read 2 corinthians 5:21,
00:14:19.114 --> 00:14:22.318
When i first started, i read 2 corinthians 5:21, "he that knew no sin became sin,
00:14:22.384 --> 00:14:24.119
I read 2 corinthians 5:21, "he that knew no sin became sin, that we might be made
00:14:24.186 --> 00:14:24.987
"he that knew no sin became sin, that we might be made the righteousness
00:14:25.054 --> 00:14:25.955
That we might be made the righteousness of god in him."
00:14:26.021 --> 00:14:27.756
The righteousness of god in him." well, i felt anything
00:14:27.823 --> 00:14:28.891
Of god in him." well, i felt anything but righteousness.
00:14:28.958 --> 00:14:30.292
Well, i felt anything but righteousness. and i was trying to do right,
00:14:30.359 --> 00:14:34.363
But i wasn't having
00:14:34.430 --> 00:14:35.230
But i wasn't having any success.
00:14:35.297 --> 00:14:36.332
But i wasn't having any success. and that was because
00:14:36.398 --> 00:14:39.268
Any success. and that was because i thought i wasn't right.
00:14:39.335 --> 00:14:41.337
And that was because i thought i wasn't right. and so i must have said
00:14:41.403 --> 00:14:45.140
I thought i wasn't right. and so i must have said thousands of times in my life,
00:14:45.207 --> 00:14:47.009
And so i must have said thousands of times in my life, "i am the righteousness
00:14:47.076 --> 00:14:48.010
Thousands of times in my life, "i am the righteousness of god in christ."
00:14:48.077 --> 00:14:49.645
"i am the righteousness of god in christ." and i can't tell you
00:14:49.712 --> 00:14:50.679
Of god in christ." and i can't tell you exactly when, but at some point
00:14:50.746 --> 00:14:52.781
And i can't tell you exactly when, but at some point it slipped down into my heart.
00:14:52.848 --> 00:14:54.650
Exactly when, but at some point it slipped down into my heart. and now i know that i know
00:14:54.717 --> 00:14:55.951
It slipped down into my heart. and now i know that i know that i know that
00:14:56.018 --> 00:14:57.953
And now i know that i know that i know that god makes us what
00:14:58.020 --> 00:15:00.689
That i know that god makes us what he expects us to be.
00:15:00.756 --> 00:15:02.791
God makes us what he expects us to be. he can't expect me to do right
00:15:02.858 --> 00:15:05.394
He expects us to be. he can't expect me to do right if he doesn't make me right.
00:15:05.461 --> 00:15:07.096
He can't expect me to do right if he doesn't make me right. so he gives us those
00:15:07.162 --> 00:15:08.297
If he doesn't make me right. so he gives us those things by his grace.
00:15:08.364 --> 00:15:09.965
So he gives us those things by his grace. and then the holy spirit
00:15:10.032 --> 00:15:10.899
Things by his grace. and then the holy spirit works with us to work
00:15:10.966 --> 00:15:12.601
And then the holy spirit works with us to work them from inside of our
00:15:12.668 --> 00:15:13.802
Works with us to work them from inside of our spirit out to where they
00:15:13.869 --> 00:15:15.871
Them from inside of our spirit out to where they can be of benefit to people.
00:15:15.938 --> 00:15:17.706
Spirit out to where they can be of benefit to people. >> ginger: i think one
00:15:17.773 --> 00:15:18.440
Can be of benefit to people. >> ginger: i think one of the reasons that this
00:15:18.507 --> 00:15:19.241
>> ginger: i think one of the reasons that this is very hard to understand
00:15:19.308 --> 00:15:21.410
Of the reasons that this is very hard to understand until it starts to happen
00:15:21.477 --> 00:15:22.711
Is very hard to understand until it starts to happen in your life is because
00:15:22.778 --> 00:15:24.747
Until it starts to happen in your life is because it isn't humanly possible.
00:15:24.813 --> 00:15:27.816
In your life is because it isn't humanly possible. it's not a natural--
00:15:27.883 --> 00:15:29.385
It isn't humanly possible. it's not a natural-- it's a supernatural process,
00:15:29.451 --> 00:15:31.720
It's not a natural-- it's a supernatural process, what christ did for us.
00:15:31.787 --> 00:15:33.088
It's a supernatural process, what christ did for us. and i think that's why it takes
00:15:33.155 --> 00:15:35.424
What christ did for us. and i think that's why it takes a while for it to sink in.
00:15:35.491 --> 00:15:37.493
And i think that's why it takes a while for it to sink in. we can read it, but it does,
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:39.194
A while for it to sink in. we can read it, but it does, like you said, become a part
00:15:39.261 --> 00:15:41.063
We can read it, but it does, like you said, become a part where it is a part of who you
00:15:41.130 --> 00:15:44.800
Like you said, become a part where it is a part of who you are because you realize that
00:15:44.867 --> 00:15:47.436
Where it is a part of who you are because you realize that you can't do it yourself.
00:15:47.503 --> 00:15:48.904
Are because you realize that you can't do it yourself. it's only christ.
00:15:48.971 --> 00:15:50.072
You can't do it yourself. it's only christ. >> joyce: "how can
00:15:50.139 --> 00:15:50.806
It's only christ. >> joyce: "how can i be righteous if i see myself
00:15:50.873 --> 00:15:52.207
>> joyce: "how can i be righteous if i see myself doing wrong things?"
00:15:52.274 --> 00:15:53.108
I be righteous if i see myself doing wrong things?" >> ginger: right, yeah.
00:15:53.175 --> 00:15:54.009
Doing wrong things?" >> ginger: right, yeah. >> joyce: and this probably
00:15:54.076 --> 00:15:55.744
>> ginger: right, yeah. >> joyce: and this probably scrambles some people's brains,
00:15:55.811 --> 00:15:57.179
>> joyce: and this probably scrambles some people's brains, but i always say that we're
00:15:57.246 --> 00:15:58.847
Scrambles some people's brains, but i always say that we're in the process of becoming
00:15:58.914 --> 00:16:00.449
But i always say that we're in the process of becoming what we already are spiritually.
00:16:00.516 --> 00:16:03.118
In the process of becoming what we already are spiritually. >> ginger: yeah.
00:16:03.185 --> 00:16:03.752
What we already are spiritually. >> ginger: yeah. "every time i pray
00:16:03.819 --> 00:16:04.420
>> ginger: yeah. "every time i pray or even think about
00:16:04.486 --> 00:16:05.521
"every time i pray or even think about asking god for anything,
00:16:05.587 --> 00:16:06.722
Or even think about asking god for anything, i feel like i shouldn't
00:16:06.789 --> 00:16:08.157
Asking god for anything, i feel like i shouldn't because i know i'm a sinner
00:16:08.223 --> 00:16:09.992
I feel like i shouldn't because i know i'm a sinner and constantly sinning
00:16:10.059 --> 00:16:11.293
Because i know i'm a sinner and constantly sinning all the time.
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:12.194
And constantly sinning all the time. i feel like, 'why should
00:16:12.261 --> 00:16:12.961
All the time. i feel like, 'why should god listen to me?'
00:16:13.028 --> 00:16:14.563
I feel like, 'why should god listen to me?' i'm a failure."
00:16:14.630 --> 00:16:15.697
God listen to me?' i'm a failure." how do you change that
00:16:15.764 --> 00:16:16.598
I'm a failure." how do you change that kind of thought process?
00:16:16.665 --> 00:16:18.901
How do you change that kind of thought process? >> joyce: well, first of all,
00:16:18.967 --> 00:16:21.103
Kind of thought process? >> joyce: well, first of all, she's believing more of what
00:16:21.170 --> 00:16:23.705
>> joyce: well, first of all, she's believing more of what she thinks than what god says.
00:16:23.772 --> 00:16:28.510
She's believing more of what she thinks than what god says. and i don't mean that to sound
00:16:28.577 --> 00:16:29.611
She thinks than what god says. and i don't mean that to sound rude, but that's just the truth.
00:16:29.678 --> 00:16:31.180
And i don't mean that to sound rude, but that's just the truth. you know, we can't exalt our
00:16:31.246 --> 00:16:32.581
Rude, but that's just the truth. you know, we can't exalt our thoughts above god's word.
00:16:32.648 --> 00:16:35.384
You know, we can't exalt our thoughts above god's word. >> ginger: yeah.
00:16:35.451 --> 00:16:35.851
Thoughts above god's word. >> ginger: yeah. >> joyce: so i don't think
00:16:35.918 --> 00:16:36.752
>> ginger: yeah. >> joyce: so i don't think anybody gets anywhere
00:16:36.819 --> 00:16:37.519
>> joyce: so i don't think anybody gets anywhere until they make the decision,
00:16:37.586 --> 00:16:39.621
Anybody gets anywhere until they make the decision, "i am going to believe the word
00:16:39.688 --> 00:16:41.523
Until they make the decision, "i am going to believe the word of god no matter how
00:16:41.590 --> 00:16:43.025
"i am going to believe the word of god no matter how i feel or what i think,
00:16:43.092 --> 00:16:45.094
Of god no matter how i feel or what i think, no matter what kind of lies
00:16:45.160 --> 00:16:46.595
I feel or what i think, no matter what kind of lies the devil tells me."
00:16:46.662 --> 00:16:48.397
No matter what kind of lies the devil tells me." you know, "i am going to believe
00:16:48.464 --> 00:16:50.833
The devil tells me." you know, "i am going to believe the word of god."
00:16:50.899 --> 00:16:52.000
>> ginger: or even,
00:16:52.434 --> 00:16:52.968
>> ginger: or even, "the mistake i made today,"
00:16:53.035 --> 00:16:53.702
>> ginger: or even, "the mistake i made today," correct?
00:16:53.769 --> 00:16:53.936
"the mistake i made today," correct? >> joyce: you know, every
00:16:54.002 --> 00:16:55.504
Correct? >> joyce: you know, every morning when i get up, first
00:16:55.571 --> 00:16:57.372
>> joyce: you know, every morning when i get up, first thing i do, i get my coffee,
00:16:57.439 --> 00:16:59.641
Morning when i get up, first thing i do, i get my coffee, and then i spend a couple
00:16:59.708 --> 00:17:01.543
Thing i do, i get my coffee, and then i spend a couple hours with god.
00:17:01.610 --> 00:17:03.378
And then i spend a couple hours with god. and just out of the blue,
00:17:03.445 --> 00:17:06.248
Hours with god. and just out of the blue, never heard this before
00:17:06.315 --> 00:17:08.083
And just out of the blue, never heard this before in my 83 years of living,
00:17:08.150 --> 00:17:11.687
Never heard this before in my 83 years of living, i got up and i started
00:17:11.753 --> 00:17:13.255
In my 83 years of living, i got up and i started out to the kitchen,
00:17:13.322 --> 00:17:14.423
I got up and i started out to the kitchen, and i heard just as plain,
00:17:14.490 --> 00:17:18.260
Out to the kitchen, and i heard just as plain, "this isn't doing you any good."
00:17:18.327 --> 00:17:20.095
And i heard just as plain, "this isn't doing you any good." >> ginger: hmm.
00:17:20.162 --> 00:17:22.097
"this isn't doing you any good." >> ginger: hmm. >> joyce: and i just plainly
00:17:22.164 --> 00:17:24.566
Said, "devil, shut up."
00:17:24.633 --> 00:17:25.934
Said, "devil, shut up." >> ginger: yeah.
00:17:26.001 --> 00:17:26.668
Said, "devil, shut up." >> ginger: yeah. >> joyce: you're not gonna keep
00:17:26.735 --> 00:17:27.569
>> ginger: yeah. >> joyce: you're not gonna keep me from spending time with god.
00:17:27.636 --> 00:17:29.905
>> joyce: you're not gonna keep me from spending time with god. >> ginger: yeah, i get that.
00:17:29.972 --> 00:17:31.440
Me from spending time with god. >> ginger: yeah, i get that. i've heard things like that
00:17:31.507 --> 00:17:33.108
>> ginger: yeah, i get that. i've heard things like that just out of nowhere before.
00:17:33.175 --> 00:17:34.776
I've heard things like that just out of nowhere before. >> joyce: but that was
00:17:34.843 --> 00:17:35.511
Just out of nowhere before. >> joyce: but that was just like--
00:17:35.577 --> 00:17:36.078
>> joyce: but that was just like-- i've never heard that.
00:17:36.145 --> 00:17:36.912
Just like-- i've never heard that. >> ginger: yeah, it doesn't
00:17:36.979 --> 00:17:37.713
I've never heard that. >> ginger: yeah, it doesn't line up with scripture.
00:17:37.779 --> 00:17:38.580
>> ginger: yeah, it doesn't line up with scripture. you know, it's not--
00:17:38.647 --> 00:17:39.214
Line up with scripture. you know, it's not-- >> joyce: no, it doesn't line up
00:17:39.281 --> 00:17:40.382
You know, it's not-- >> joyce: no, it doesn't line up with scripture.
00:17:40.449 --> 00:17:40.749
>> joyce: no, it doesn't line up with scripture. >> ginger: right.
00:17:40.816 --> 00:17:41.550
With scripture. >> ginger: right. >> joyce: and i'm doing
00:17:41.617 --> 00:17:42.351
>> ginger: right. >> joyce: and i'm doing it because i love god, not,
00:17:42.417 --> 00:17:44.253
>> joyce: and i'm doing it because i love god, not, you know, for what i'm gonna
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:46.021
It because i love god, not, you know, for what i'm gonna get out of it anyway.
00:17:46.088 --> 00:17:47.723
You know, for what i'm gonna get out of it anyway. >> ginger: right.
00:17:47.789 --> 00:17:48.490
Get out of it anyway. >> ginger: right. so it really is so much
00:17:48.557 --> 00:17:50.125
>> ginger: right. so it really is so much of a process of walking
00:17:50.192 --> 00:17:52.494
So it really is so much of a process of walking with god and doing what
00:17:52.561 --> 00:17:54.329
Of a process of walking with god and doing what is right and standing
00:17:54.396 --> 00:17:56.532
With god and doing what is right and standing on what scripture says when
00:17:56.598 --> 00:17:58.333
Is right and standing on what scripture says when we don't do what is right.
00:17:58.400 --> 00:17:59.701
On what scripture says when we don't do what is right. because we are
00:17:59.768 --> 00:18:00.736
We don't do what is right. because we are all sinful people.
00:18:00.802 --> 00:18:01.904
Because we are all sinful people. >> joyce: and i think also,
00:18:01.970 --> 00:18:04.540
All sinful people. >> joyce: and i think also, we have so much different
00:18:04.606 --> 00:18:07.676
>> joyce: and i think also, we have so much different teaching available to us today.
00:18:07.743 --> 00:18:09.678
We have so much different teaching available to us today. and i'm concerned sometimes
00:18:09.745 --> 00:18:11.413
Teaching available to us today. and i'm concerned sometimes that people just flit from
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:14.082
And i'm concerned sometimes that people just flit from subject to subject to subject.
00:18:14.149 --> 00:18:15.684
That people just flit from subject to subject to subject. and if you're having
00:18:15.751 --> 00:18:18.086
Subject to subject to subject. and if you're having difficulty believing that
00:18:18.153 --> 00:18:19.388
And if you're having difficulty believing that you're right with god,
00:18:19.454 --> 00:18:20.622
Difficulty believing that you're right with god, then stick with that until you
00:18:20.689 --> 00:18:24.626
You're right with god, then stick with that until you get that settled in your heart.
00:18:24.693 --> 00:18:27.095
Then stick with that until you get that settled in your heart. >> ginger: yeah,
00:18:27.162 --> 00:18:27.729
Get that settled in your heart. >> ginger: yeah, that's great advice.
00:18:27.796 --> 00:18:28.797
>> ginger: yeah, that's great advice. okay, this is a question
00:18:28.864 --> 00:18:30.999
That's great advice. okay, this is a question from kelly.
00:18:31.066 --> 00:18:31.867
Okay, this is a question from kelly. "like joyce, i, too,
00:18:31.934 --> 00:18:33.268
From kelly. "like joyce, i, too, was abused when i was a child.
00:18:33.335 --> 00:18:35.404
"like joyce, i, too, was abused when i was a child. now i'm 36 years old
00:18:35.470 --> 00:18:37.005
Was abused when i was a child. now i'm 36 years old and i've never forgotten it.
00:18:37.072 --> 00:18:39.841
Now i'm 36 years old and i've never forgotten it. i'm totally flawed,
00:18:39.908 --> 00:18:41.310
And i've never forgotten it. i'm totally flawed, and nothing is right for me.
00:18:41.376 --> 00:18:43.278
I'm totally flawed, and nothing is right for me. is it all because i cannot
00:18:43.345 --> 00:18:44.947
And nothing is right for me. is it all because i cannot forget the past?"
00:18:45.013 --> 00:18:47.482
Is it all because i cannot forget the past?" >> joyce: well, it depends.
00:18:47.549 --> 00:18:48.450
Forget the past?" >> joyce: well, it depends. if she's holding herself
00:18:48.517 --> 00:18:50.219
>> joyce: well, it depends. if she's holding herself guilty because of what
00:18:50.285 --> 00:18:51.887
If she's holding herself guilty because of what happened to her,
00:18:51.954 --> 00:18:52.521
Guilty because of what happened to her, she has to realize
00:18:52.588 --> 00:18:53.322
Happened to her, she has to realize it wasn't her fault.
00:18:53.388 --> 00:18:54.556
And if she hasn't forgiven
00:18:55.524 --> 00:18:57.926
And if she hasn't forgiven the people that hurt her,
00:18:57.993 --> 00:18:59.494
And if she hasn't forgiven the people that hurt her, that's gonna be difficult
00:18:59.561 --> 00:19:00.862
The people that hurt her, that's gonna be difficult because the bible says
00:19:00.929 --> 00:19:01.930
That's gonna be difficult because the bible says that if we hold unforgiveness
00:19:01.997 --> 00:19:03.565
Because the bible says that if we hold unforgiveness toward others, that he can't
00:19:03.632 --> 00:19:05.000
That if we hold unforgiveness toward others, that he can't even forgive our sins.
00:19:05.067 --> 00:19:06.802
Toward others, that he can't even forgive our sins. and, you know, you have two
00:19:06.868 --> 00:19:08.270
Even forgive our sins. and, you know, you have two ways of looking at yourself.
00:19:08.337 --> 00:19:10.205
You can look at yourself
00:19:10.272 --> 00:19:11.306
You can look at yourself in the flesh, in the natural,
00:19:11.373 --> 00:19:12.541
You can look at yourself in the flesh, in the natural, or you can look
00:19:12.608 --> 00:19:13.175
In the flesh, in the natural, or you can look at yourself in christ.
00:19:13.242 --> 00:19:15.444
Or you can look at yourself in christ. and once you really get hold
00:19:15.510 --> 00:19:18.947
At yourself in christ. and once you really get hold of who you are in christ,
00:19:19.014 --> 00:19:20.816
And once you really get hold of who you are in christ, it changes everything.
00:19:20.882 --> 00:19:24.253
Of who you are in christ, it changes everything. >> ginger: in spite of what
00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:25.120
It changes everything. >> ginger: in spite of what somebody else did to you.
00:19:25.187 --> 00:19:26.655
>> ginger: in spite of what somebody else did to you. >> joyce: yeah, but remember,
00:19:26.722 --> 00:19:28.290
Somebody else did to you. >> joyce: yeah, but remember, they did it to you.
00:19:28.357 --> 00:19:29.024
>> joyce: yeah, but remember, they did it to you. >> ginger: yeah.
00:19:29.091 --> 00:19:29.658
They did it to you. >> ginger: yeah. >> joyce: and it wasn't
00:19:29.725 --> 00:19:31.260
>> ginger: yeah. >> joyce: and it wasn't your fault.
00:19:31.326 --> 00:19:31.927
>> joyce: and it wasn't your fault. >> ginger: yeah.
00:19:31.994 --> 00:19:32.561
Your fault. >> ginger: yeah. >> joyce: you know,
00:19:32.628 --> 00:19:33.161
>> ginger: yeah. >> joyce: you know, i felt guilty for a long time,
00:19:33.228 --> 00:19:34.196
>> joyce: you know, i felt guilty for a long time, for years and years.

Out of a lot of money and almost lost my house. i've asked god to forgive

And almost lost my house. i've asked god to forgive me and to help those

I've asked god to forgive me and to help those scammers to change

Me and to help those scammers to change their lives and be saved.
00:20:26.481 --> 00:20:28.116
Scammers to change their lives and be saved. i just can't forgive myself
00:20:28.183 --> 00:20:30.585
Their lives and be saved. i just can't forgive myself or get it out of my mind that

I just can't forgive myself or get it out of my mind that i let this happen and that
00:20:32.788 --> 00:20:33.822
Or get it out of my mind that i let this happen and that i could have really helped

A lot of people with this money, not to mention my own family." >> joyce: well, you know,
00:20:39.261 --> 00:20:39.961
Not to mention my own family." >> joyce: well, you know, forgiving yourself
00:20:40.028 --> 00:20:40.896
>> joyce: well, you know, forgiving yourself is really just accepting
00:20:40.962 --> 00:20:43.799
Forgiving yourself is really just accepting god's forgiveness.

And so she needs to accept god's forgiveness because
00:20:48.136 --> 00:20:49.838
And so she needs to accept god's forgiveness because the bible says when we confess
00:20:49.905 --> 00:20:51.740
God's forgiveness because the bible says when we confess our sins and admit them,
00:20:51.807 --> 00:20:53.308
The bible says when we confess our sins and admit them, that "he's faithful and just

That "he's faithful and just to forgive our sins." and he does it every time,
