But if i say to you, "i love you," but i never do anything that shows that,
00:00:08.531 --> 00:00:13.369
"i love you," but i never do anything that shows that, then it just becomes
00:00:13.436 --> 00:00:14.404
Do anything that shows that, then it just becomes a bunch of empty words.

Joshua 1:8--way over in the very
00:04:42.705 --> 00:04:45.942
Joshua 1:8--way over in the very beginning of the old testament
00:04:46.008 --> 00:04:48.177
Joshua 1:8--way over in the very beginning of the old testament says, "meditate on the word
00:04:48.244 --> 00:04:49.445
Beginning of the old testament says, "meditate on the word of god day and night,
00:04:49.512 --> 00:04:50.747
Says, "meditate on the word of god day and night, that you might observe
00:04:50.813 --> 00:04:51.848
Of god day and night, that you might observe and do according to all
00:04:51.914 --> 00:04:55.385
That you might observe and do according to all that's written therein.
00:04:55.451 --> 00:04:56.986
And do according to all that's written therein. for then you shall deal wisely,
00:04:57.053 --> 00:04:59.222
That's written therein. for then you shall deal wisely, make your way prosperous
00:04:59.288 --> 00:05:00.790

Make your way prosperous and have success." but see, we wanna have
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:05.528
And have success." but see, we wanna have the prosperity and success,
00:05:05.595 --> 00:05:08.664
And skip the doing.
00:05:08.731 --> 00:05:12.502
And skip the doing. and you can't do that.
00:05:12.568 --> 00:05:15.004
And skip the doing. and you can't do that. we're partners with god.
00:05:15.071 --> 00:05:17.273
And you can't do that. we're partners with god. and god has made 7,000 promises
00:05:17.340 --> 00:05:19.609
We're partners with god. and god has made 7,000 promises to us in the word of god,
00:05:19.675 --> 00:05:21.210
And god has made 7,000 promises to us in the word of god, but there is something
00:05:21.277 --> 00:05:22.278
To us in the word of god, but there is something for us to do.
