- 00:00:51.040 --> 00:00:52.675
- Of your spirit. suspicion is a product of the fleshly mind, see.
- 00:00:52.742 --> 00:00:56.279

- 00:00:56.346 --> 00:00:57.714
- Of the fleshly mind, see. but discernment, you will just know...
- 00:00:57.780 --> 00:00:59.449
- But discernment, you will just know... "hmm...something don't feel
- 00:00:59.516 --> 00:01:01.951
- You will just know... "hmm...something don't feel right about this."
- 00:01:02.018 --> 00:01:04.654
- "hmm...something don't feel right about this." "aah, something just don't
- 00:01:04.721 --> 00:01:06.356
- Right about this." "aah, something just don't feel right about that person."
- 00:01:06.422 --> 00:01:10.660
- "aah, something just don't feel right about that person." and after a while,
- 00:01:10.727 --> 00:01:13.029
- Feel right about that person." and after a while, you ignore that,
- 00:01:13.096 --> 00:01:13.997
- And after a while, you ignore that, and you get in trouble
- 00:01:14.063 --> 00:01:14.831
- You ignore that, and you get in trouble every time.
- 00:01:14.898 --> 00:01:15.465

- I knew--and i was born
- 00:01:22.572 --> 00:01:25.942
- I knew--and i was born again when i was nine,
- 00:01:26.009 --> 00:01:27.010
- I knew--and i was born again when i was nine, i didn't know anything
- 00:01:27.076 --> 00:01:28.211
- Again when i was nine, i didn't know anything of the word, but i still
- 00:01:28.278 --> 00:01:29.412
- I didn't know anything of the word, but i still had the spirit in me.
- 00:01:29.479 --> 00:01:30.780
- Of the word, but i still had the spirit in me. and so, i knew, inside,
- 00:01:30.847 --> 00:01:34.517

- 00:01:34.584 --> 00:01:36.753
- And so, i knew, inside, i was making a mistake, but i did it anyway.
- 00:01:36.819 --> 00:01:39.389
- I was making a mistake, but i did it anyway. i suppose nobody
- 00:01:39.455 --> 00:01:40.123

- How many of you have known down deep inside but did it anyway?
- 00:01:48.298 --> 00:01:49.432

- God's trying to guide us, but we get our fleshly mind in the way, sense,
- 00:01:57.407 --> 00:01:59.075

- 00:01:59.142 --> 00:01:59.876
- Mind in the way, sense, and reason without the holy spirit.
- 00:01:59.943 --> 00:02:02.378
- And reason without the holy spirit. see, i reasoned out,
- 00:02:02.445 --> 00:02:03.313
- The holy spirit. see, i reasoned out, "well, i better take him,
- 00:02:03.379 --> 00:02:04.214

- Because after what's happened to me,
- 00:02:05.281 --> 00:02:05.848
- Because after what's happened to me, i may never have--
- 00:02:05.915 --> 00:02:06.516
- Happened to me, i may never have-- nobody may ever want me."
- 00:02:06.583 --> 00:02:09.085
