00:00:01.030 --> 00:00:07.170
- ANNOUNCER: TONIGHT ON PRAISE FROM PALM BEACH, FLORIDA.
00:00:07.190 --> 00:00:10.060
NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLING AUTHOR AND BIBLE
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.070
TEACHER JOYCE MEYER.
00:00:13.090 --> 00:00:16.110
[ MUSIC ]
00:00:16.130 --> 00:00:20.040
- AND NOW MATT AND LAURIE CROUCH.
00:00:20.060 --> 00:00:23.140
- MATT CROUCH: WE ARE IN BEAUTIFUL SOUTH FLORIDA.
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:25.290
WE ARE HERE IN PALM BEACH.
00:00:26.010 --> 00:00:27.260
JOYCE MEYER, WE HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT SUBJECT,
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:31.230
HEALING THE SOUL OF A WOMAN.
00:00:31.250 --> 00:00:33.250
I'M MARRIED TO ONE.
00:00:33.270 --> 00:00:36.160
I'VE BEEN MARRIED TO HER FOR 33 YEARS.
00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:39.140
IT'S AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT TO ME.
00:00:39.160 --> 00:00:42.010
HOW ARE WE GOING TO UNPACK THIS, AND WHAT
00:00:42.030 --> 00:00:44.100
EXACTLY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:45.290
- JOYCE MEYER: WELL, I'LL PROBABLY TELL A
00:00:46.010 --> 00:00:47.050
LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY STORY, BUT FIRST OF ALL,
00:00:47.070 --> 00:00:49.220
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WHAT YOUR
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:50.240
SOUL IS.
00:00:50.260 --> 00:00:52.080
YOUR SOUL IT'S YOUR MIND, YOUR WILL, AND YOUR
00:00:52.100 --> 00:00:56.080
EMOTIONS, AND SO IT'S ALL ABOUT THE WAY YOU THINK
00:00:56.100 --> 00:01:00.240
AND THE WAY YOU FEEL AND THE DECISIONS
00:01:00.260 --> 00:01:02.120
THAT YOU MAKE.
00:01:02.140 --> 00:01:04.110
AND SO MANY PEOPLE LOOK GREAT ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT
00:01:04.130 --> 00:01:06.210
THEY'RE CARRYING AROUND A LOT OF WOUNDS ON THE
00:01:06.230 --> 00:01:09.050
INSIDE, AND THEY ALWAYS SHOW UP THE MOST IN
00:01:09.070 --> 00:01:12.030
RELATIONSHIPS.
00:01:12.050 --> 00:01:14.080
A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN HURT BY SOMEONE OR
00:01:14.100 --> 00:01:17.110
ABUSED OR REJECTED OR MISTREATED THEY END UP
00:01:17.130 --> 00:01:20.100
NOT LIKING THEMSELVES, AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:23.110
YOURSELF, YOU CAN'T GET ALONG WITH OTHER PEOPLE.
00:01:23.130 --> 00:01:26.210
SO YOU'RE ALWAYS TRYING TO GET THEM TO FIX YOU.
00:01:26.230 --> 00:01:29.040
YOU WANT THEM TO MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD.
00:01:29.060 --> 00:01:31.270
AND REALLY THE BOTTOM LINE IS NOBODY CAN DO
00:01:31.290 --> 00:01:34.070
THAT EXCEPT GOD, AND HE WILL BUT YOU HAVE
00:01:34.090 --> 00:01:36.070
TO LET HIM.
00:01:36.090 --> 00:01:38.180
YOU HAVE TO GET INTO AGREEMENT WITH HIM.
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.280
YOU KNOW, THERE'S SO MANY COMPONENTS TO THIS, AND
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.110
TO BE HONEST IF SOMEBODY'S WOUNDED REAL
00:01:43.130 --> 00:01:45.160
DEEPLY IN THEIR SOUL, IT'S NOT SOMETHING
00:01:45.180 --> 00:01:47.190
THEY'RE GOING TO GET OVER OVERNIGHT.
00:01:47.210 --> 00:01:49.290
THERE'S GOING TO BE STUDYING THE WORD AND
00:01:50.010 --> 00:01:51.260
OBEYING GOD, AND SOME PEOPLE NEED SOME
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:55.000
COUNSELING, BUT THERE'S NOTHING BETTER THAN BEING
00:01:55.020 --> 00:01:57.280
HEALTHY ON THE INSIDE.
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.100
AND THE BEST GIFT REALLY THAT YOU CAN GIVE ANYBODY
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.240
IS A HEALTHY YOU BECAUSE TO BE MARRIED TO SOMEONE
00:02:03.260 --> 00:02:06.180
THAT'S ALL BROKEN INSIDE THAT I FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.290
TO CONSTANTLY BE CAREFUL AND LIKE YOUR WALKING ON
00:02:09.010 --> 00:02:12.090
EGG SHELLS AND YOU CAN'T HURT THEIR FEELINGS AND
00:02:12.110 --> 00:02:15.040
YOU CAN'T CONFRONT THEM ABOUT ANYTHING,
00:02:15.060 --> 00:02:17.180
THEY'RE MOODY.
00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:20.110
I REMEMBER MY HUSBAND SAYING I USED TO DRIVE
00:02:20.130 --> 00:02:22.040
DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT THINKING I WONDER WHAT
00:02:22.060 --> 00:02:23.070
SHE'LL BE LIKE TONIGHT.
00:02:23.090 --> 00:02:24.220
AND THAT'S SAD.
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:27.080
BUT I'M EVIDENCE THAT AS WELL AS LOTS OF OTHER
00:02:27.100 --> 00:02:28.280
PEOPLE THAT YOU CERTAINLY CAN BE HEALED.
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.020
IT REQUIRES FACING SOME TRUTH.
00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:35.070
IT REQUIRES NOT BLAMING YOUR BEHAVIOR ON WHAT
00:02:35.090 --> 00:02:38.280
HAPPENED TO YOU.
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.070
IT REQUIRES NOT FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF.
00:02:41.090 --> 00:02:43.000
THERE'S ONE CHAPTER IN THE BOOK THAT I WROTE
00:02:43.020 --> 00:02:45.160
THAT SAYS NO PARKING AT ANY TIME.
00:02:45.180 --> 00:02:48.270
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DO
00:02:48.290 --> 00:02:51.240
IS THEY PARK THEY POINT OF THEIR PAIN, AND THEY
00:02:51.260 --> 00:02:55.200
NEVER GO PAST THAT.
00:02:55.220 --> 00:02:57.230
EVERYTHING IN THEIR LIFE FROM THAT POINT ON IS
00:02:57.250 --> 00:02:59.240
COLORED BY WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM AND THE PAIN
00:02:59.260 --> 00:03:02.020
THEY HAD.
00:03:02.040 --> 00:03:04.030
AND WE DON'T HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THAT.
00:03:04.050 --> 00:03:06.040
- A FEW YEARS AGO YOU WROTE BEAUTY FOR ASHES.
00:03:06.060 --> 00:03:07.260
AND HOW IS THIS THE DEEPER DIG?
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:13.290
BECAUSE SIMILAR SUBJECT MATTER IF NOT THE EXACT
00:03:14.010 --> 00:03:16.290
SUBJECT MATTER BUT IT'S DEEPER.
00:03:17.010 --> 00:03:19.290
HOW IS THIS BOOK DIFFERENT THAN
00:03:20.010 --> 00:03:21.130
BEAUTY FOR ASHES.
00:03:21.150 --> 00:03:23.020
- WELL, FIRST OF ALL I HAVE 25 MORE YEARS
00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:26.070
EXPERIENCE THAN I HAD WHEN I WROTE BEAUTY FOR
00:03:26.090 --> 00:03:28.250
ASHES, AND I'VE DEALT WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT
00:03:28.270 --> 00:03:32.080
PEOPLE AND DEALT WITH MYSELF OVER THE YEARS.
00:03:32.100 --> 00:03:35.250
SO YOU SAID, IT'S A DEEPER DIG.
00:03:35.270 --> 00:03:39.070
IT GOES DEEPER AND SHARES MORE OF WHAT I'VE LEARNED
00:03:39.090 --> 00:03:42.260
OVER THE YEARS WHICH HAS BEEN A GREAT DEAL.
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.200
THE GOOD THING ABOUT GOD IS WE NEVER STOP
00:03:45.220 --> 00:03:47.210
LEARNING, AND I STILL OCCASIONALLY WILL SEE
00:03:47.230 --> 00:03:51.070
THINGS CROP UP IN ME THAT I KNOW ARE A RESULT OF
00:03:51.090 --> 00:03:54.090
THE ABUSE I HAD IN MY CHILDHOOD, BUT THE THING
00:03:54.110 --> 00:03:57.060
THAT I SAY NOW IS I DON'T HAVE TO JUST REACT.
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:01.150
I CAN ACT ON WHAT I KNOW GOD HAS TOLD ME.
00:04:01.170 --> 00:04:07.140
- HAVE YOU LEARNED A LOT?
00:04:07.160 --> 00:04:09.270
WERE YOU SURPRISED -I MEAN, DID YOU READ BEAUTY
00:04:09.290 --> 00:04:13.020
FOR ASHES AGAIN?
00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:14.250
BECAUSE THAT TOLD YOUR PERSONAL STORY, A LOT OF
00:04:14.270 --> 00:04:16.210
YOUR PERSONAL STORY.
00:04:16.230 --> 00:04:18.180
HOW MANY YEARS HAS IT BEEN SINCE THAT?
00:04:18.200 --> 00:04:19.250
- PROBABLY 25.
00:04:19.270 --> 00:04:21.160
- 25.
00:04:21.180 --> 00:04:22.290
WERE YOU SURPRISED HOW FAR YOU'D COME EVEN FROM
00:04:23.010 --> 00:04:24.130
THAT BOOK?
00:04:24.150 --> 00:04:26.080
- WELL, WHEN I THINK BACK THE WAY I WAS I
00:04:26.100 --> 00:04:30.240
MEAN, THERE'S NO TELLING HONESTLY HOW MANY TIMES I
00:04:30.260 --> 00:04:33.180
WOULD HAVE BEEN MARRIED AND DIVORCED IF I
00:04:33.200 --> 00:04:35.230
WOULDN'T HAVE LET GOD WORK IN MY LIFE AND
00:04:35.250 --> 00:04:38.200
HEAL ME.
00:04:38.220 --> 00:04:41.130
AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS TO SO MANY PEOPLE.
00:04:41.150 --> 00:04:43.160
THEY JUST GO THROUGH ONE RELATIONSHIP AFTER
00:04:43.180 --> 00:04:45.270
ANOTHER AFTER ANOTHER.
00:04:45.290 --> 00:04:48.010
AND OF COURSE THE FIRST TIME I GOT MARRIED I
00:04:48.030 --> 00:04:50.000
MARRIED THE FIRST GUY THAT CAME ALONG BECAUSE I
00:04:50.020 --> 00:04:51.170
REALLY THOUGHT NOBODY WOULD EVER WANT ME.
00:04:51.190 --> 00:04:53.190
AND I KNEW DEEP DOWN INSIDE IT WAS A MISTAKE
00:04:53.210 --> 00:04:55.180
BECAUSE HE HAD EVEN MORE PROBLEMS THAN ME AND
00:04:55.200 --> 00:04:57.150
SADLY, THAT'S WHAT A LOT OF TIMES HURTING WOUNDED
00:04:57.170 --> 00:05:01.020
TROUBLED PEOPLE MARRY OTHER HURTING
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.140
TROUBLED PEOPLE.
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.080
AND I SAY JOKINGLY BUT IT'S TRUE, THEY GIVE EACH
00:05:07.100 --> 00:05:09.230
OTHER TROUBLE AND THEN THEY HAVE KIDS AND DUMP
00:05:09.250 --> 00:05:12.060
ALL THEIR TROUBLES ON THEM, AND THEN IT JUST
00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:14.150
GOES FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION.
00:05:14.170 --> 00:05:17.000
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIVE AFFECTED BY
00:05:17.020 --> 00:05:19.010
YOUR PAST.
00:05:19.030 --> 00:05:21.050
GOD SAYS WE CAN LET GO OF THE PAST.
00:05:21.070 --> 00:05:23.180
AND OF COURSE THE FIRST THING AND IT'S PROBABLY
00:05:23.200 --> 00:05:26.010
THE HARDEST THING IS YOU CANNOT GO FORWARD UNTIL
00:05:26.030 --> 00:05:28.020
YOU FORGIVE.
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.000
- WOW.
00:05:30.020 --> 00:05:31.210
- AND THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE, SO MANY
00:05:31.230 --> 00:05:34.000
CHRISTIANS THAT ARE STILL MAD AND I MEAN, I CAN GO
00:05:34.020 --> 00:05:37.180
JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE AND DO A SERMON ON
00:05:37.200 --> 00:05:41.120
FORGIVENESS AND ASK HOW MANY PEOPLE STILL NEEDED
00:05:41.140 --> 00:05:44.240
TO FORGIVE SOMEBODY.
00:05:44.260 --> 00:05:47.040
AND THERE'S GOING TO BE 80% OF THE PEOPLE THAT
00:05:47.060 --> 00:05:49.240
LIFT THEIR HAND.
00:05:49.260 --> 00:05:52.030
AND I READ SOMETHING -- YESTERDAY I HEARD THIS
00:05:52.050 --> 00:05:54.040
THIS ACTUALLY.
00:05:54.060 --> 00:05:55.180
IT WAS IN A SHOW I WAS WATCHING ON TV BUT I
00:05:55.200 --> 00:05:57.010
THOUGHT THAT IS A GREAT STATEMENT.
00:05:57.030 --> 00:05:58.130
HE SAID YOU'RE NEVER ANY WEAKER THAN WHEN YOU'RE
00:05:58.150 --> 00:06:01.250
ANGRY OR WHEN YOU'RE ANGRY YOU'RE WEAKER THAN
00:06:01.270 --> 00:06:05.050
AT ANY OTHER TIME IN YOUR LIFE.
00:06:05.070 --> 00:06:07.160
AND I THINK SATAN JUST USES ANGER AND STRIFE AND
00:06:07.180 --> 00:06:11.090
BITTERNESS AND RESENTMENT AND UNFORGIVENNESS TO
00:06:11.110 --> 00:06:13.170
KEEP PEOPLE IN PRISON AND I ALWAYS SAY WHAT'S THE
00:06:13.190 --> 00:06:16.280
POINT IN BEING MAD AT SOMEBODY THAT'S OUT
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.180
HAVING A GOOD TIME AND DON'T EVEN CARE THAT
00:06:19.200 --> 00:06:21.130
YOU'RE UPSET?
00:06:21.150 --> 00:06:23.160
SO YOU'RE REALLY JUST HURTING YOURSELF, SO
00:06:23.180 --> 00:06:25.240
EVERYTHING GOD SAYS ABOUT FORGIVING PEOPLE IS
00:06:25.260 --> 00:06:28.120
REALLY LIKE YOU'RE NOT DOING THEM A FAVOR.
00:06:28.140 --> 00:06:30.030
YOU'RE DOING YOURSELF A FAVOR WHEN YOU FORGIVE.
00:06:30.050 --> 00:06:34.150
AND THEN WHEN YOU DO THAT, YOU RELEASE GOD TO
00:06:34.170 --> 00:06:37.130
DEAL WITH THOSE PEOPLE, AND IT IS A FEARSOME
00:06:37.150 --> 00:06:40.110
THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF A LIVING GOD.
00:06:40.130 --> 00:06:42.280
AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU FEEL.
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.110
IT'S A DECISION THAT YOU MAKE.
00:06:45.130 --> 00:06:48.100
AND GOD SAYS PLAINLY YOU PRAY FOR THEM.
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.230
YOU BLESS AND DO NOT CURSE THEM.
00:06:50.250 --> 00:06:54.230
AND SO MOST PEOPLE JUST TRY TO NOT FEEL BAD ABOUT
00:06:54.250 --> 00:06:59.270
A PERSON THAT'S HURT THEM ANYMORE, AND THAT'S NOT
00:06:59.290 --> 00:07:02.060
EVEN THE POINT.
00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:03.170
THE POINT IS TO MAKE THE DECISION TO FORGIVE WITH
00:07:03.190 --> 00:07:06.090
GOD'S HELP, AND THEN WHEN YOU START PRAYING FOR
00:07:06.110 --> 00:07:12.030
SOMEBODY, YOU WON'T HAVE BAD FEELINGS TOWARD THEM
00:07:12.050 --> 00:07:14.270
FOR VERY LONG IF YOU REALLY PRAY FOR THEM.
00:07:14.290 --> 00:07:17.010
AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE DON'T DO.
00:07:17.030 --> 00:07:18.230
THEY DON'T PRAY.
00:07:18.250 --> 00:07:20.260
AND WE THINK WELL, I DON'T WANT TO PRAY FOR
00:07:20.280 --> 00:07:22.090
THEM TO BE BLESSED.
00:07:22.110 --> 00:07:23.280
I DON'T WANT THEM TO BE BLESSED BUT THE FIRST
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:25.290
THING GOD WILL START BLESSING THEM WITH
00:07:26.010 --> 00:07:27.100
IS TRUTH.
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.110
- THERE IT IS.
00:07:29.130 --> 00:07:30.280
- SO WE GET ALL MIXED UP.
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:32.160
WELL, I DON'T WANT THEM TO BE BLESSED.
00:07:32.180 --> 00:07:33.220
WELL, I UNDERSTAND THAT.
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:35.070
I DIDN'T WANT MY ENEMIES TO BE BLESSED EITHER, BUT
00:07:35.090 --> 00:07:38.240
THEN GOD SHOWED ME THE FIRST THING I COULD BLESS
00:07:38.260 --> 00:07:40.130
THEM WITH IS TRUTH IF YOU PRAY FOR THEM.
00:07:40.150 --> 00:07:41.190
AND GOD IS OUR VINDICATOR.
00:07:41.210 --> 00:07:42.280
WE CAN'T VINDICATE OURSELF.
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:44.070
- I HEARD A DEFINITION OF FORGIVENESS AND I WANT
00:07:44.090 --> 00:07:46.160
YOU TO CORRECT IT OR ADD TO IT, THAT YOU DON'T
00:07:46.180 --> 00:07:50.250
CARE ANYMORE WHETHER OR NOT THE PERSON OR PEOPLE
00:07:50.270 --> 00:07:56.040
FACE CONSEQUENCES FOR WHAT THEY DID.
00:07:56.060 --> 00:07:58.130
- I DO THINK WHEN YOU TOTALLY FORGIVE, AND I
00:07:58.150 --> 00:08:01.130
MIGHT EVEN SAY I THINK MAYBE THAT TOTAL
00:08:01.150 --> 00:08:04.140
FORGIVENESS COMES IN DEGREES.
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:07.080
I SAID THE OFFICIAL I FORGIVE YOU PRAYER
00:08:07.100 --> 00:08:11.010
BECAUSE I KNEW GOD WANTED ME TO, BUT I STILL DID
00:08:11.030 --> 00:08:15.060
NOT WANT THE BLESS YOUR ENEMIES PART WAS NOT
00:08:15.080 --> 00:08:19.040
SOMETHING THAT I WAS TOO INTERESTED IN.
00:08:19.060 --> 00:08:22.100
AND I ONLY SAW MY MOM AND DAD WHEN I ABSOLUTELY HAD
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:25.140
TO FOR THE SHORTEST AMOUNT OF TIME THAT I
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.020
COULD SEE THEM.
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.010
BUT AS THEY STARTED GETTING OLDER AND LESS
00:08:30.030 --> 00:08:32.090
ABLE TO CARE FOR THEMSELVES, YOU KNOW, GOD
00:08:32.110 --> 00:08:35.110
WANTED ME TO DO WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS TO DO WHICH
00:08:35.130 --> 00:08:38.170
WAS TAKE CARE OF THEM.
00:08:38.190 --> 00:08:40.090
WELL, I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.
00:08:40.110 --> 00:08:42.110
I DIDN'T EVEN THINK IT WAS FAIR FOR GOD TO
00:08:42.130 --> 00:08:43.280
EVEN ASK ME.
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:45.210
AND MY FIRST THING TO GOD WAS WELL, THEY NEVER DID
00:08:45.230 --> 00:08:47.150
ANYTHING FOR ME.
00:08:47.170 --> 00:08:50.110
AND HE SAID, WELL, YOU ARE BREATHING SO AT LEAST
00:08:50.130 --> 00:08:53.040
THEY GAVE ME LIFE.
00:08:53.060 --> 00:08:55.110
THEY PUT CLOTHES ON MY BACK AND SENT ME
00:08:55.130 --> 00:08:57.100
TO SCHOOL.
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:00.080
AND THEN TAKING THOSE STEPS OF OBEDIENCE TO
00:09:00.100 --> 00:09:04.110
MOVE THEM CLOSER TO WHERE I WAS AND MADE SURE THEY
00:09:04.130 --> 00:09:07.030
GOT TO THEIR DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS AND MAKE
00:09:07.050 --> 00:09:09.280
SURE THEIR GRASS WAS MOWED AND I DIDN'T THE
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.000
TIME TO DO ALL THAT BECAUSE OF MINISTRY SO IT
00:09:12.020 --> 00:09:13.270
ENDED UP COSTING A LOT OF MONEY THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE
00:09:13.290 --> 00:09:17.130
AT THE TIME.
00:09:17.150 --> 00:09:19.180
BUT ULTIMATELY MY DAD ENDED UP GETTING SAVED
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.020
THROUGH THE LOVE THAT WE SHOWED HIM BECAUSE HE
00:09:22.040 --> 00:09:25.100
KNEW THAT HE DID NOT DESERVE IT.
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:27.150
AND THE BIBLE TELLS US TO DO THAT.
00:09:27.170 --> 00:09:29.130
WHY?
00:09:29.150 --> 00:09:31.090
TO SHOW THAT WE'RE LIKE OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.
00:09:31.110 --> 00:09:34.120
- WHAT JOURNEY ARE YOU TAKING SOMEONE THROUGH IN
00:09:34.140 --> 00:09:36.220
THIS BOOK?
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.120
- WELL, WHAT I WOULD HOPE IS THAT INITIALLY,
00:09:38.140 --> 00:09:42.080
YOU KNOW, LIKE PRETTY SOON THEY WOULD GET SOME
00:09:42.100 --> 00:09:46.240
REAL REVELATION ABOUT THE KIND OF LIFE THEY'RE
00:09:46.260 --> 00:09:49.200
LIVING COMPARED TO THE KIND OF LIFE THAT GOD
00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:51.280
WANTS THEM TO LIVE.
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.120
YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE I USE AN EXAMPLE ABOUT SOME OF
00:09:56.140 --> 00:10:00.260
THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE HAVE TODAY, LIKE YOUR
00:10:00.280 --> 00:10:03.120
PHONE OR YOUR COMPUTER.
00:10:03.140 --> 00:10:05.200
THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT I COULD DO ON MY
00:10:05.220 --> 00:10:08.040
COMPUTER BUT I WON'T TAKE THE TIME TO LEARN
00:10:08.060 --> 00:10:11.080
HOW TO DO THEM.
00:10:11.100 --> 00:10:13.100
AND SO I FUMBLE THROUGH SOMETIMES AND MAKE A
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.080
PROJECT HARDER THAN IT HAS TO BE BECAUSE I DON'T
00:10:16.100 --> 00:10:18.130
WANT TO LEARN HOW TO WORK THE STUFF.
00:10:18.150 --> 00:10:23.010
WELL, WHAT KIND OF A LIFE DID JESUS DIE FOR US
00:10:23.030 --> 00:10:26.020
TO HAVE?
00:10:26.040 --> 00:10:28.120
DO YOU WANT TO HAVE THE BEST LIFE YOU CAN HAVE OR
00:10:28.140 --> 00:10:31.060
DO YOU WANT TO JUST BE A CHRISTIAN WHO GOES TO
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.070
CHURCH EVERY WEEK AND MAYBE DOES A FEW NICE
00:10:33.090 --> 00:10:36.140
THINGS BUT YOU'RE MISERABLE ON THE INSIDE
00:10:36.160 --> 00:10:40.120
ALL THE TIME?
00:10:40.140 --> 00:10:42.140
YOU KNOW, IT'S ONE THING TO BE A MISERABLE SINNER.
00:10:42.160 --> 00:10:44.110
IT'S ANOTHER THING TO BE A MISERABLE BELIEVER.
00:10:44.130 --> 00:10:46.170
JESUS DIDN'T DIE SO WE COULD JUST LIMP ALONG
00:10:46.190 --> 00:10:48.010
THROUGH LIFE.
00:10:48.030 --> 00:10:49.280
HE WANTS US TO HAVE A GREAT LIFE, SO THAT'S ONE
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:51.220
OF THE CHAPTERS UP IN THE FRONT IS LIVING THE BEST
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:54.210
LIFE THAT'S AVAILABLE TO YOU.
00:10:54.230 --> 00:10:59.060
SO I JUST SAID THAT THEY COME OUT WITH A NEW
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:02.250
PHONE, YOU CAN'T EVEN HARDLY GET USED TO THE
00:11:02.270 --> 00:11:05.050
ONE YOU'VE GOT AND THEY'VE GOT A NEW ONE.
00:11:05.070 --> 00:11:07.100
BUT EVERYBODY WANTS TO GET THE NEWEST UPGRADE,
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:10.170
SO WHY DON'T WE WANT TO GET THE NEWEST UPGRADED
00:11:10.190 --> 00:11:12.250
LIFE THAT WE CAN HAVE?
00:11:12.270 --> 00:11:15.030
PEOPLE STAND IN LINE ALL NIGHT TO BE THE FIRST IN
00:11:15.050 --> 00:11:17.190
LINE TO GET SOME KIND OF AN UPGRADE FOR THEIR
00:11:17.210 --> 00:11:20.100
PHONE BUT DON'T WANT TO PUT IN THE TIME AND
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:24.170
EFFORT TO UPGRADE OUR LIFE.
00:11:24.190 --> 00:11:28.130
SO I WOULD HOPE PEOPLE WOULD SEE WELL, THERE'S
00:11:28.150 --> 00:11:30.090
APPARENTLY A LOT MORE AVAILABLE TO ME THAN WHAT
00:11:30.110 --> 00:11:31.240
I'M EXPERIENCING IN MY LIFE.
00:11:31.260 --> 00:11:34.030
AND THEY WOULD JUST SAY TO GOD, I WANT WHAT YOU
00:11:34.050 --> 00:11:37.150
WANT FOR ME.
00:11:37.170 --> 00:11:39.080
BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE EASY.
00:11:39.100 --> 00:11:42.220
IT'S NOT ALWAYS GOING TO BE COMFORTABLE.
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.290
AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE TIME.
00:11:45.010 --> 00:11:47.170
SO I WOULD HOPE BY THE END OF IT PEOPLE WOULD BE
00:11:47.190 --> 00:11:50.250
READY TO START ON A JOURNEY OF HEALING.
00:11:50.270 --> 00:11:53.230
THAT REQUIRES DIFFERENT THINGS FOR
00:11:53.250 --> 00:11:56.040
DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
00:11:56.060 --> 00:11:58.170
LIKE FOR SOME PEOPLE, THAT MAY INVOLVE SOME
00:11:58.190 --> 00:12:01.000
PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING.
00:12:01.020 --> 00:12:03.130
FOR SOME PEOPLE IT MAY INVOLVE BEING IN A
00:12:03.150 --> 00:12:05.240
RECOVERY GROUP.
00:12:05.260 --> 00:12:07.250
YOU KNOW, FOR SOME PEOPLE IT MAY BE JUST TELLING
00:12:07.270 --> 00:12:11.130
SOMEBODY WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM.
00:12:11.150 --> 00:12:13.140
SO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN SEXUALLY ABUSED
00:12:13.160 --> 00:12:16.020
SPEND THEIR WHOLE LIFE AND DON'T TELL ANYBODY OR
00:12:16.040 --> 00:12:19.070
SOMEBODY MAYBE WHOSE HAD AN ABORTION AND THEY'RE
00:12:19.090 --> 00:12:21.280
STILL HURTING FROM THAT.
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.030
YOU KNOW, OUR SECRETS MAKE US SICK.
00:12:24.050 --> 00:12:25.250
THINGS YOU HIDE ON THE INSIDE AND ARE AFRAID FOR
00:12:25.270 --> 00:12:25.290
ANYBODY TO FIND OUT THEY KEEP YOU IN FEAR.
00:12:27.250 --> 00:12:30.280
- DO YOU THINK IT'S MORE PAINFUL -- I THINK PEOPLE
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.130
GET STUCK BECAUSE THEY THINK MAN, IF I TELL
00:12:34.150 --> 00:12:38.110
ANYBODY AND IF I START TALKING ABOUT THIS AND
00:12:38.130 --> 00:12:41.120
FACING MY REALITY, MY PAST, IT'S GOING TO BE
00:12:41.140 --> 00:12:47.030
PAIN ALL OVER AGAIN FOR ME.
00:12:47.050 --> 00:12:49.010
HOW DO WE GET PAST THAT?
00:12:49.030 --> 00:12:51.010
- WELL, I'D SAY THERE'S TWO KINDS OF PAIN.
00:12:51.030 --> 00:12:53.080
YOU CAN EITHER.
00:12:53.100 --> 00:12:55.170
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME PAIN EITHER WAY.
00:12:55.190 --> 00:12:57.280
IT'S EITHER THE PAIN OF GETTING FREE BY
00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:59.280
ULTIMATELY LEAVES YOU WITHOUT THE PAIN OR IT'S
00:13:00.020 --> 00:13:03.180
THE PAIN OF STAYING THE SAME WAY YOU ARE THE REST
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.240
OF YOUR LIFE.
00:13:06.260 --> 00:13:08.200
SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT -- - TWO BIG FEARS.
00:13:08.220 --> 00:13:10.270
- YEAH.
00:13:10.290 --> 00:13:12.190
I WOULD REALLY LIKE THE VIEWERS TO THINK ABOUT
00:13:12.210 --> 00:13:14.070
WHAT I JUST SAID.
00:13:14.090 --> 00:13:16.150
DO YOU REALLY WANT TO STAY THE SAME AS YOU ARE
00:13:16.170 --> 00:13:20.070
THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
00:13:20.090 --> 00:13:22.210
I MEAN, IS THAT REALLY WHAT YOU WANT?
00:13:22.230 --> 00:13:25.260
OR DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE?
00:13:25.280 --> 00:13:27.210
YOU KNOW, MOST PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SAY I WANT TO
00:13:27.230 --> 00:13:30.010
CHANGE, BUT WHAT THEY WANT IS THEY WANT GOD TO
00:13:30.030 --> 00:13:32.240
CHANGE THEM, AND SOMETHING I'VE
00:13:32.260 --> 00:13:35.220
DISCOVERED, MATT AND LAURIE, JUST REALLY A LOT
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:39.180
IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.260
I DON'T KNOW WHY IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO KNOW THIS
00:13:41.280 --> 00:13:43.280
AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN PREACHING, BUT WE SAY
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:46.100
THAT WE WANT THINGS BUT WE DON'T WANT TO DO WHAT
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:49.200
WE NEED TO DO TO GET THERE.
00:13:49.220 --> 00:13:52.270
WHEN YOU FEEL SO WRONG, YOU WANT SOMEBODY ELSE TO
00:13:52.290 --> 00:13:58.130
CONSTANTLY BE TELLING THAT YOU'RE RIGHT, AND
00:13:58.150 --> 00:14:02.080
SOONER OR LATER PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE TIRED OF
00:14:02.100 --> 00:14:05.050
KEEPING YOU FIXED.
00:14:05.070 --> 00:14:09.150
- WOUNDS OF THE HEART, EVERY WOMAN HAS THEM.
00:14:09.170 --> 00:14:11.290
THEY'RE UNSEEN, BUT EVERY BIT AS REAL AS
00:14:12.010 --> 00:14:14.160
PHYSICAL WOUNDS.
00:14:14.180 --> 00:14:16.260
REJECTION, BETRAYAL, ABANDONMENT AND EVEN
00:14:16.280 --> 00:14:19.120
ABUSE CAN LEAVE LASTING SCARS.
00:14:19.140 --> 00:14:23.150
AND WHEN YOU CARRY THOSE HURTS THROUGH LIFE THEY
00:14:23.170 --> 00:14:26.020
IMPACT ALL YOUR MOST IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS
00:14:26.040 --> 00:14:28.130
AND KEEP YOU FROM EXPERIENCING TRUE HEALING

- IT'S VERY PAINFUL AND DIFFICULT TO GO THROUGH
00:14:49.170 --> 00:14:51.230
LIFE WITH A WOUNDED SOUL, BUT I LEARNED THAT GOD
00:14:51.250 --> 00:14:54.110

00:14:54.130 --> 00:14:57.020

BECAUSE I WOULD DO THINGS I DIDN'T WANT TO DO, SAY
00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:38.200
THINGS I DIDN'T WANT TO SAY, REACT IN WAYS THAT I
00:17:38.220 --> 00:17:41.070
DIDN'T WANT TO REACT.
00:17:41.090 --> 00:17:43.240
AND SO MUCH OF IT WAS COMING OUT OF MY PAST
00:17:43.260 --> 00:17:47.100
PAIN BUT I DIDN'T KNOW SO, SO I'LL GIVE YOU
00:17:47.120 --> 00:17:49.190
AN EXAMPLE.
00:17:49.210 --> 00:17:51.180
I REALLY UNDERSTAND WHY JESUS USED PARABLES.
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:53.200
I CAN'T HARDLY PREACH WITHOUT GIVING EXAMPLES
00:17:53.220 --> 00:17:55.100
AND TELLING STORIES.
00:17:55.120 --> 00:17:57.150
- I LOVE IT.
00:17:57.170 --> 00:17:59.150
- THE WORD IS VERY -- IT'S SO PRACTICAL.
00:17:59.170 --> 00:18:02.010
IT'S NOT OVER OUR HEADS.
00:18:02.030 --> 00:18:04.050
JESUS MADE IT APPLICABLE TO EVERYDAY LIFE, SO IN
00:18:04.070 --> 00:18:08.120
THE EARLIER YEARS LIKE MINE AND DAVE'S MARRIAGE
00:18:08.140 --> 00:18:14.200
LIKE A LOT OF YOUNG COUPLES IT SEEMED TO ME
00:18:14.220 --> 00:18:17.000
THAT WE COULDN'T TALK ABOUT ANYTHING IF THERE
00:18:17.020 --> 00:18:18.250
WAS ANY KIND OF A CONFLICT.
00:18:18.270 --> 00:18:21.060
IF HE DIDN'T AGREE WITH ME, THEN --
00:18:21.080 --> 00:18:23.290
- YOU'D BOTH BE WRONG.
00:18:24.010 --> 00:18:26.230
- WELL, I DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT I WAS DOING, BUT I
00:18:26.250 --> 00:18:29.020
COULDN'T SEPARATE ME FROM MY OPINION.
00:18:29.040 --> 00:18:33.280
I DIDN'T KNOW WHO I WAS, SO IF I HAD AN OPINION
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:37.070
AND HE DIDN'T AGREE WITH IT, THEN I WOULD
00:18:37.090 --> 00:18:40.110
FEEL REJECTED.
00:18:40.130 --> 00:18:42.100
SO THEN I WOULD GO INTO THIS MODE OF TRYING TO
00:18:42.120 --> 00:18:44.280
CONVINCE HIM THAT I WAS RIGHT.
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.160
SO THEN HE FELT MANIPULATED AND CONTROLLED
00:18:48.180 --> 00:18:52.110
AND LIKE THE ONLY WAY THAT HE'D GET ALONG WITH
00:18:52.130 --> 00:18:54.050
ME WAS IF HE ALWAYS AGREED WITH ME, WHICH
00:18:54.070 --> 00:18:57.070
THEN SO MY DYSFUNCTION TOOK AWAY HIS FREEDOM.
00:18:57.090 --> 00:19:01.100
AND WHEN GOD FINALLY SHOWED ME THAT,
00:19:01.120 --> 00:19:03.200
I WAS LIKE MY GOSH!
00:19:03.220 --> 00:19:08.210
YOU KNOW? IT WAS REJECTION.
00:19:08.230 --> 00:19:11.070
IT WAS THAT ROOT OF REJECTION THAT I HAD IN
00:19:11.090 --> 00:19:13.270
MY LIFE FROM MY PAST.
00:19:13.290 --> 00:19:15.210
AND SO IF I COOKED A MEAL AND IT WASN'T HIS FAVORITE,
00:19:15.230 --> 00:19:19.150
I FELT REJECTED.
00:19:19.170 --> 00:19:22.140
IF HE DIDN'T AGREE WITH MY OPINION,
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:24.120
I FELT REJECTED.
00:19:24.140 --> 00:19:26.030
IF HE DIDN'T LIKE AN OUTFIT I PUT ON, I FELT
00:19:26.050 --> 00:19:28.020
REJECTED BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHO I WAS.
00:19:28.040 --> 00:19:31.260
I WAS ALL THESE OTHER THINGS.
00:19:31.280 --> 00:19:34.110
I WAS THE WAY I LOOKED, OR I WAS THE WAY I COOKED.
00:19:34.130 --> 00:19:39.140
EVERYTHING HAD TO BE COMPLIMENTS, AND I AGREE
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:43.170
WITH YOU, AND YOU'RE RIGHT.
00:19:43.190 --> 00:19:45.000
WHEN YOU FEEL SO WRONG, YOU WANT SOMEBODY ELSE TO
00:19:45.020 --> 00:19:50.190
CONSTANTLY BE TELLING YOU THAT YOU'RE RIGHT.
00:19:50.210 --> 00:19:54.280
SOONER OR LATER, PEOPLE ARE GONNA GET TIRED OF
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:57.090
KEEPING YOU FIXED BECAUSE THAT'S ALL THEY CAN DO
00:19:57.110 --> 00:20:00.020
ALL DAY LONG IS MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF.
00:20:00.040 --> 00:20:02.180
- CAN I USE YOU AS A REFEREE JUST FOR A SECOND?
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:05.270
AND I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT, I WANT TO REMIND
00:20:05.290 --> 00:20:08.100
YOU THAT THERE'S CAMERAS HERE THAT ARE RECORDING.
00:20:08.120 --> 00:20:10.240
[LAUGHTER]
00:20:10.260 --> 00:20:12.030
LET ME TELL YOU KIND OF THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU
00:20:12.050 --> 00:20:17.060
JUST SAID THAT MIGHT HAPPEN ONCE IN A WHILE IS...
00:20:17.080 --> 00:20:23.100
- I LOVE WHEN WE PLAY THIS GAME WITH YOU, DON'T YOU?
00:20:23.120 --> 00:20:25.250
- YOU HAVE TO BE NICE.
00:20:25.270 --> 00:20:27.060
- BUT REFEREE THIS BECAUSE LAURIE WOULD
00:20:27.080 --> 00:20:30.190
NEVER TRY TO CONVINCE ME SHE WAS RIGHT.
00:20:30.210 --> 00:20:33.120
SHE WOULD CLAM UP AND PROBABLY FEEL A LEVEL OF
00:20:33.140 --> 00:20:37.100
REJECTION THAT I DIDN'T SEE IT THE WAY
00:20:37.120 --> 00:20:39.120
SHE DID OR WHATEVER.
00:20:39.140 --> 00:20:41.070
BUT SHE WOULD NEVER TRY TO OUT VERBAL SKILL ME.
00:20:41.090 --> 00:20:45.040
- FIGHT WITH HIM.
00:20:45.060 --> 00:20:46.200
- SHE WOULD JUST CLAM UP AND KIND OF GO.
00:20:46.220 --> 00:20:49.000
SO YOU ARE A VERBAL COMMUNICATOR, SO YOU WERE
00:20:49.020 --> 00:20:52.230
TRYING-- SHE WOULD BE THE OPPOSITE OF THAT, BUT
00:20:52.250 --> 00:20:54.260
IT'S A SIMILAR THING.
00:20:54.280 --> 00:20:56.170
IF WE EVER GET IN ANY KIND OF A DISAGREEMENT
00:20:56.190 --> 00:20:59.040
OVER FOR GOODNESS SAKES THE COLOR OF A CANDLE,
00:20:59.060 --> 00:21:02.080
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT IS, THEN SHE WOULD
00:21:02.100 --> 00:21:04.260
PROBABLY JUST CLAM UP. SO THAT WOULD BE--
00:21:04.280 --> 00:21:08.100
- I EXPLODE AND SHE IMPLODES.
00:21:08.120 --> 00:21:10.230
- MATT: THERE YOU GO.
00:21:10.250 --> 00:21:12.220
- BUT BOTH ARE EQUALLY DESTRUCTIVE.
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:15.180
- BUT I'M RIGHT, RIGHT?
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:17.000
- HE'S ALWAYS RIGHT.
00:21:17.020 --> 00:21:18.090
THAT'S THE PROBLEM, JOYCE.
00:21:18.110 --> 00:21:20.040
- I'M JUST TRYING TO GET YOU TO SAY I'M RIGHT IS ALL.
00:21:20.060 --> 00:21:22.160
- ALL MEN ARE ALWAYS RIGHT, IT'S LIKE...
00:21:22.180 --> 00:21:26.140
- THERE'S THE INSTAGRAM QUOTE.
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:27.240
THERE IT IS RIGHT THERE.
00:21:27.260 --> 00:21:29.160
- AT LEAST THEY THINK THEY ARE.
00:21:29.180 --> 00:21:32.000
THEY'VE GOT A LITTLE REVELATION COMING
00:21:32.020 --> 00:21:33.020
WHEN THEY GET TO HEAVEN.
00:21:33.040 --> 00:21:34.210
- GO AHEAD AND BRING THAT.
00:21:34.230 --> 00:21:36.250
- I TOLD DAVE THE OTHER DAY, I SAID WHEN YOU GET
00:21:36.270 --> 00:21:38.160
TO HEAVEN, YOU'RE GONNA BE A LITTLE BIT BORED
00:21:38.180 --> 00:21:42.100
BECAUSE THE REST OF US ARE GONNA KNOW EVERYTHING
00:21:42.120 --> 00:21:47.180
THAT WE'VE NEVER KNOWN.
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:50.090
THE BIBLE SAYS YOU'LL KNOW EVEN AS YOU'RE KNOWN.
00:21:50.110 --> 00:21:52.130
BUT I SAID YOU ALREADY KNOW EVERYTHING, SO
00:21:52.150 --> 00:21:54.260
THERE'S GONNA BE NOTHING.
00:21:54.280 --> 00:21:57.050
- NO SURPRISES FOR YOU.
00:21:57.070 --> 00:21:58.250
- NO SURPRISES AT ALL FOR YOU.
00:21:58.270 --> 00:22:01.160
- WHAT'S FUNNY?
00:22:01.180 --> 00:22:05.170
- YOU AND DAVE ARE SUCH GOOD FRIENDS.
00:22:05.190 --> 00:22:08.170
- THE WAY THAT WE RESPOND TO THINGS ARE
00:22:08.190 --> 00:22:13.190
PARTIALLY DEPENDENT, IN LARGE PART DEPENDENT
00:22:13.210 --> 00:22:16.170
ON OUR TEMPERAMENT.
00:22:16.190 --> 00:22:18.040
LIKE I KNOW A WOMAN IN MINISTRY WHO WAS ALSO
00:22:18.060 --> 00:22:23.000
ABUSED SEXUALLY BY A FAMILY MEMBER LIKE I WAS,
00:22:23.030 --> 00:22:26.270
AND I CAME OUT OF IT LIKE A BULL IN A CHINA
00:22:26.290 --> 00:22:30.290
CABINET, AND SHE SHRUNK BACK WITHIN HERSELF AND
00:22:31.010 --> 00:22:35.170
WOULD NEVER CONFRONT ANYTHING.
00:22:35.190 --> 00:22:37.270
AND THEY'RE BOTH EQUALLY DESTRUCTIVE, AND THEY'RE
00:22:37.290 --> 00:22:41.240
BOTH EQUALLY WRONG BECAUSE IF YOU DO WHAT
00:22:41.260 --> 00:22:44.280
YOU'VE DONE, YOU END UP LETTING PEOPLE WALK ALL
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.020
OVER YOU ALL THE TIME BECAUSE YOU WON'T
00:22:48.040 --> 00:22:51.090
SPEAK UP FOR YOURSELF.
00:22:51.110 --> 00:22:52.270
YOU WON'T TAKE UP FOR YOURSELF.
00:22:52.290 --> 00:22:54.220
AND YOU NEED TO DO THAT.
00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:56.090
I WAS ON THE OTHER END OF THE EXTREME WHERE
00:22:56.110 --> 00:22:58.060
I CONFRONTED EVERYTHING.
00:22:58.080 --> 00:23:01.170
NO RIGHT TIMING, NO RIGHT PLACE, NO DOING IT
00:23:01.190 --> 00:23:05.150
QUIETLY OR PRIVATELY.
00:23:05.170 --> 00:23:07.080
IF I FELT IT, OUT IT CAME.
00:23:07.100 --> 00:23:10.260
- I LOVE TO WATCH THAT.
00:23:10.280 --> 00:23:13.210
- AND SO I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO LEARN TO
00:23:13.230 --> 00:23:19.000
UNDERSTAND WHERE SOME OF THIS BEHAVIOR IS COMING
00:23:19.020 --> 00:23:21.010
FROM, AND SOMETHING THAT IS AMAZING TO ME, IT'S
00:23:21.030 --> 00:23:26.200
AMAZING WHAT GOD WILL TELL YOU IF YOU JUST ASK
00:23:26.220 --> 00:23:28.040
HIM. WHY DID I DO THAT?
00:23:28.060 --> 00:23:32.030
ONE NIGHT I WAS TOSSING AND TURNING, AND I
00:23:32.050 --> 00:23:33.190
USUALLY SLEEP PRETTY GOOD, AND I DON'T KNOW
00:23:33.210 --> 00:23:36.080
WHY IT TOOK ME TO 5:00 A.M.
00:23:36.100 --> 00:23:37.220
BUT FINALLY AT 5:00 A.M.
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:39.020
I SAID GOD, WHAT IS WRONG?
00:23:39.040 --> 00:23:41.180
AND IMMEDIATELY HE SHOWED ME THAT I HAD REALLY HURT
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:45.020
SOMEBODY'S FEELINGS THE DAY BEFORE AND NEVER
00:23:45.040 --> 00:23:48.280
BOTHERED TO TELL THEM I WAS SORRY, NEVER REPENTED
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:52.100
FOR IT. AND AS SOON AS I DID, I WENT TO SLEEP.
00:23:52.120 --> 00:23:57.040
BUT I DIDN'T GET AN ANSWER UNTIL I ASKED.
00:23:57.060 --> 00:23:59.040
YOU HAVE NOT BECAUSE YOU ASK NOT.
00:23:59.060 --> 00:24:01.170
SO INSTEAD OF ASKING GOD WHAT'S WRONG WITH
00:24:01.190 --> 00:24:03.200
EVERYBODY ELSE, WE NEED TO START ASKING HIM, WE
00:24:03.220 --> 00:24:06.270
NEED TO START OWNING OUR REACTIONS TO THINGS, NOT
00:24:06.290 --> 00:24:11.080
JUST BLAMING BUT OWNING OUR REACTION TO THINGS.
00:24:11.100 --> 00:24:17.010
WHEN YOU STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR ALL YOUR
00:24:17.030 --> 00:24:22.210
WRONG BEHAVIOR, THINGS START TO CHANGE PRETTY
00:24:22.230 --> 00:24:26.210
RAPIDLY, BUT IT'S-- JESUS SAID THE TRUTH WILL MAKE
00:24:26.230 --> 00:24:30.020
YOU FREE BUT IT'S NOT THE TRUTH ABOUT SOMEBODY
00:24:30.040 --> 00:24:31.250
ELSE THAT MAKES ME FREE.
00:24:31.270 --> 00:24:34.100
IT'S THE TRUTH ABOUT ME THAT MAKES ME FREE.
00:24:34.120 --> 00:24:38.000
- WHERE ELSE DO YOU WANT TO GO HERE?
00:24:38.020 --> 00:24:39.250
WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT TO--
00:24:39.270 --> 00:24:41.030
- I LOVE WHAT YOU SAID, YOU SAID TRUE FREEDOM IS
00:24:41.050 --> 00:24:42.170
INSIDE OF US NOT AROUND US.
00:24:42.190 --> 00:24:44.150
THERE'S SO MANY AMAZING--
00:24:44.170 --> 00:24:47.260
- SO MANY GOOD THINGS.
00:24:47.280 --> 00:24:49.040
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL TO
00:24:49.060 --> 00:24:51.120
ME AS FAR AS FORGIVING IS GOD TOLD ME HURTING
00:24:51.140 --> 00:24:55.050
PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE.
00:24:55.070 --> 00:24:58.050
SO MOST OF THE PEOPLE, IF YOU'RE WATCHING AND
00:24:58.070 --> 00:25:01.250
YOU'VE BEEN REALLY HURT BY SOMEBODY, THEY HURT
00:25:01.270 --> 00:25:05.260
YOU OUT OF THEIR HURT.
00:25:05.280 --> 00:25:07.290
AND IF YOU REALIZE THAT, THEN IT DOES MAKE IT A
00:25:08.010 --> 00:25:10.100
LITTLE BIT EASIER TO FORGIVE THEM.
00:25:10.120 --> 00:25:14.030
MY FATHER HAD NOT BEEN RAISED RIGHT AND THERE
00:25:14.050 --> 00:25:16.180
WAS INCEST IN HIS HOME, WHICH I FOUND OUT LATER,
00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:20.110
AND HE WASN'T TREATED RIGHT BY HIS DAD, AND HIS
00:25:20.130 --> 00:25:25.070
DAD WAS A CHRISTIAN AND YET HE WAS A MEAN
00:25:25.090 --> 00:25:27.180
CHRISTIAN AND THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS SET WELL
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:31.010
WITH THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU.
00:25:31.030 --> 00:25:33.130
AND SO HE ALREADY HAD TWO STRIKES AGAINST HIM WHEN
00:25:33.150 --> 00:25:40.270
HE STARTED, AND THAT DOESN'T MAKE WHAT HE DID
00:25:40.290 --> 00:25:42.260
OKAY, BUT IT DOES MAKE IT EASIER TO FORGIVE IF YOU
00:25:42.280 --> 00:25:47.180
REALIZE THAT PEOPLE ARE HURTING YOU
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:52.160
OUT OF THEIR OWN PAIN.
00:25:52.180 --> 00:25:54.150
THEN ANOTHER CHAPTER IN HERE THAT I REALLY ENJOY
00:25:54.170 --> 00:25:57.200
PREACHING THIS MESSAGE WAS NO PARKING AT ANY TIME.
00:25:57.220 --> 00:26:00.280
ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND I SAW
00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:02.230
THIS SIGN "NO PARKING AT ANY TIME" AND IT JUST
00:26:02.250 --> 00:26:04.240
LIKE, EXPLODED TO ME.
00:26:04.260 --> 00:26:06.280
I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE DO WITH THEIR LIFE.
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:08.230
THEY PARK AT THE POINT OF THEIR PAIN AND THEY
00:26:08.250 --> 00:26:12.050
DON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE.
00:26:12.070 --> 00:26:15.090
AND I HAPPENED TO SEE A MOVIE, I DON'T KNOW IF
00:26:15.110 --> 00:26:17.250
YOU EVER SAW IT, IT WAS ABOUT, I THINK IT'S
00:26:17.270 --> 00:26:20.270
CALLED THE YELLOW VAN OR SOMETHING.
00:26:20.290 --> 00:26:22.190
THIS IS ACTUALLY A TRUE STORY.
00:26:22.210 --> 00:26:24.090
IT WAS ABOUT A WOMAN WHO WAS HOMELESS AND SHE
00:26:24.110 --> 00:26:29.050
LIVED IN THIS YELLOW VAN THAT SHE HAD PAINTED
00:26:29.070 --> 00:26:31.150
YELLOW. AND THEY KEPT RUNNING HER OFF THE STREETS.
00:26:31.170 --> 00:26:36.070
SHE'D PARK ON THE STREET AND THEY'D LET HER
00:26:36.090 --> 00:26:37.210
STAY THERE SO LONG.
00:26:37.230 --> 00:26:39.070
SO FINALLY SHE WENT TO THIS PERSON'S HOUSE AND
00:26:39.090 --> 00:26:41.110
ASKED IF SHE COULD PARK IN THEIR DRIVEWAY FOR A
00:26:41.130 --> 00:26:45.040
CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME BECAUSE SHE FOUND OUT SHE
00:26:45.060 --> 00:26:47.040
COULD GET SOME MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT MONTHLY
00:26:47.060 --> 00:26:51.030
IF SHE HAD AN ADDRESS. SHE DIDN'T HAVE ONE.
00:26:51.050 --> 00:26:55.000
SO HE DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO DO THIS.
00:26:55.020 --> 00:26:56.170
THIS HAPPENED OVER IN ENGLAND BUT HE LET HER
00:26:56.190 --> 00:26:59.010
PARK THERE. WELL, SHE ENDED UP STAYING THERE FOR
00:26:59.030 --> 00:27:01.240
LIKE YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS.
00:27:01.260 --> 00:27:04.140
BUT THE ULTIMATE, IT'S A LONG STORY BUT TO GET TO
00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:08.220
THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT, SHE WAS A CONCERT
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:12.180
PIANIST. SHE PLAYED BEFORE KINGS AND QUEENS AND
00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:17.260
WAS JUST PHENOMENAL.
00:27:17.280 --> 00:27:20.160
SHE REALLY REALLY LOVED GOD, SO SHE BECAME A NUN,
00:27:20.180 --> 00:27:24.190
AND SHE HAPPENED TO HAVE A MOTHER SUPERIOR THAT
00:27:24.210 --> 00:27:28.030
WAS NOT VERY KIND AND WAS REALLY JEALOUS OF HER
00:27:28.050 --> 00:27:34.160
PIANO GIFT, SO SHE TOLD HER THAT GOD WANTED HER
00:27:34.180 --> 00:27:39.090
TO GIVE IT UP BECAUSE IT WAS PRIDEFUL.
00:27:39.110 --> 00:27:42.260
AND SO THAT HURT HER SO BAD AND THE WAY THEY
00:27:42.280 --> 00:27:45.110
TREATED HER HURT HER SO BAD THAT SHE ENDED UP
00:27:45.130 --> 00:27:49.040
LEAVING AND HAVING SOME KIND OF LIKE
00:27:49.060 --> 00:27:51.120
A MENTAL BREAKDOWN.
00:27:51.140 --> 00:27:52.240
AND THEN AT ONE POINT IN HER LIFE SHE HAD HIT A
00:27:52.260 --> 00:27:55.160
YOUNG MAN IN THE STREET AND KILLED HIM, AND SO
00:27:55.180 --> 00:28:00.040
BETWEEN CARRYING THE GUILT OF THAT AND WHAT
00:28:00.060 --> 00:28:02.210
HAD HAPPENED TO HER, SHE ENDED UP BEING HOMELESS
00:28:02.230 --> 00:28:05.180
AND LIVING IN HER VAN, AND OF COURSE THIS PART
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:11.260
OF THE STORY WAS FICTIONAL BUT WHEN SHE
00:28:11.280 --> 00:28:13.170
GOT TO HEAVEN THE FIRST PERSON-- SHE DIED IN HER
00:28:13.190 --> 00:28:16.030
VAN BY THE WAY. YOU DIE WHERE YOU PARK.
00:28:16.050 --> 00:28:19.140
SO SHE FIRST PERSON SHE SAW WHEN SHE GOT TO
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:24.020
HEAVEN WAS THIS YOUNG MAN THAT SHE HAD BLAMED
00:28:24.040 --> 00:28:28.030
HERSELF FOR KILLING ALL THESE YEARS AND HE SAID
00:28:28.050 --> 00:28:29.270
YOU DIDN'T KILL ME, I STEPPED OUT IN FRONT OF
00:28:29.290 --> 00:28:31.130
YOUR CAR ON PURPOSE.
00:28:31.150 --> 00:28:33.080
AND SO ME BEING ABUSED, I CARRIED THE GUILT OF THAT.
00:28:33.100 --> 00:28:37.000
I THOUGHT WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME THAT I MY FATHER
00:28:37.020 --> 00:28:38.260
WANTS TO DO THAT TO ME?
00:28:38.280 --> 00:28:40.220
AND HOW MANY PEOPLE SOMEBODY ELSE IS
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:44.230
DYSFUNCTIONAL AND THEY'RE HURTING YOU, BUT HOW MANY
00:28:44.250 --> 00:28:48.250
WOMEN WHOSE HUSBANDS CHEAT ON THEM THINK IT'S,
00:28:48.270 --> 00:28:51.080
IT MUST HAVE BEEN MY FAULT.
00:28:51.100 --> 00:28:53.090
I WASN'T PRETTY ENOUGH OR THIS ENOUGH.
00:28:53.110 --> 00:28:56.200
THE DEVIL ALWAYS WANTS US TO THINK WE'RE NOT ENOUGH
00:28:56.220 --> 00:28:59.260
AND THAT'S WHY PEOPLE MISTREAT US.
00:28:59.280 --> 00:29:03.090
AND I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE PEOPLE JUST PARK
00:29:03.110 --> 00:29:06.260
THEIR LIFE AT THE POINT OF THEIR PAIN AND STAY
00:29:06.280 --> 00:29:11.120
THERE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE LIVING SOME KIND OF
00:29:11.140 --> 00:29:14.120
A HALF-LIFE WHEN JESUS DIED FOR YOU TO BE
00:29:14.140 --> 00:29:17.160
MADE COMPLETELY WHOLE.
00:29:17.180 --> 00:29:20.150
AND THIS WHOLE THING ABOUT THE SOUL BEING
00:29:20.170 --> 00:29:22.170
HEALTHY, I MEAN THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO
00:29:22.190 --> 00:29:25.130
ME AND THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO OTHER PEOPLE,
00:29:25.150 --> 00:29:27.160
IT AFFECTS HOW YOU THINK.
00:29:27.180 --> 00:29:30.290
THAT'S WHY THE BIBLE SAYS CLEARLY THAT ONE OF THE
00:29:31.010 --> 00:29:33.040
FIRST THINGS THAT HAS TO HAPPEN IS YOU HAVE TO
00:29:33.060 --> 00:29:36.160
LEARN HOW TO GET YOUR MIND RENEWED THROUGH THE
00:29:36.180 --> 00:29:40.010
WORD OF GOD. THE DEVIL TOLD ME ALL
00:29:40.030 --> 00:29:43.140
MY LIFE WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU. WELL THE
00:29:43.160 --> 00:29:45.110
FIRST THING I STUDY IS RIGHTEOUSNESS IN CHRIST.
00:29:45.130 --> 00:29:48.290
SO THE ENEMY WANTS TO REMIND US DAILY OF
00:29:49.010 --> 00:29:51.180
EVERYTHING THAT'S WRONG WITH US, BUT THE BIBLE
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:54.210
SAYS HE THAT KNEW NO SIN BECAME SIN THAT WE MIGHT
00:29:54.230 --> 00:29:57.030
BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST.
00:29:57.050 --> 00:30:00.240
SO THE MORE YOU THINK YOU'RE WRONG, THE MORE
00:30:00.260 --> 00:30:03.290
WRONG THINGS YOU'LL DO.
00:30:04.010 --> 00:30:05.290
BUT THE MORE YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE RIGHT WITH
00:30:06.010 --> 00:30:08.140
GOD THROUGH JESUS SACRIFICE, THE MORE RIGHT
00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:11.270
THINGS YOU'LL DO.
00:30:11.290 --> 00:30:13.220
GOD NEVER EXPECTS US TO DO ANYTHING WITHOUT
00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:15.170
GIVING US THE EQUIPMENT TO DO IT, SO HE FORGIVES
00:30:15.190 --> 00:30:18.060
US FIRST SO WE CAN FORGIVE OTHER PEOPLE.
00:30:18.080 --> 00:30:21.210
HE'S MERCIFUL TO US SO WE CAN BE MERCIFUL TO OTHERS.
00:30:21.230 --> 00:30:26.160
- HE GIVES US THAT ABILITY.
00:30:26.180 --> 00:30:28.090
- SO WE CAN LOVE OTHER PEOPLE.
00:30:28.110 --> 00:30:30.050
SO HE NEVER ASKS US TO DO ANYTHING THAT'S NOT GONNA
00:30:30.070 --> 00:30:32.290
BE FOR OUR BENEFIT.
00:30:33.010 --> 00:30:34.280
SO EVEN WHEN SOMETHING IS HARD, GOD'S TRYING TO SET
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:38.150
YOU FREE FROM SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA BE MUCH
00:30:38.170 --> 00:30:40.060
HARDER IF YOU KEEP IT.
00:30:40.080 --> 00:30:42.280
SO THAT TO ME WAS A REALLY IMPORTANT CHAPTER
00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:45.150
IN THE BOOK BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO, YOU KNOW YOU
00:30:45.170 --> 00:30:49.000
HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION THAT YOU'RE GONNA PUT
00:30:49.020 --> 00:30:51.000
YOUR LIFE IN DRIVE AGAIN AND STOP JUST STOP
00:30:51.020 --> 00:30:56.000
BLAMING EVERYTHING ON WHAT PEOPLE DID TO YOU
00:30:56.020 --> 00:30:58.020
OR WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU.
00:30:58.040 --> 00:30:59.220
- WE'VE HEARD IT SAID SIMILARLY THAT THE POINT OF YOUR
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:03.180
PAIN WILL EITHER BE YOUR PRISON OR YOUR PLATFORM.
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:06.130
- THAT'S VERY GOOD.
00:31:06.150 --> 00:31:07.250
YOU NEED TO BECOME A FRIEND TO YOURSELF AND
00:31:07.270 --> 00:31:10.100
DON'T ALWAYS BE WAITING FOR SOMEBODY ELSE TO
00:31:10.120 --> 00:31:11.290
DO SOMETHING FOR YOU.
00:31:12.010 --> 00:31:13.250
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYBODY THAT'S DOING SOMETHING
00:31:13.270 --> 00:31:15.220
FOR YOU, THEN GO DO SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF.
00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:18.180
- ANNOUNCER: WOUNDS OF THE HEART, THEY'RE UNSEEN
00:31:20.020 --> 00:31:22.130
BUT EVERY BIT AS REAL AS PHYSICAL WOUNDS.
00:31:22.150 --> 00:31:25.080
REJECTION, BETRAYAL, ABANDONMENT AND EVEN
00:31:25.100 --> 00:31:28.100
ABUSE CAN LEAVE LASTING SCARS,
00:31:28.120 --> 00:31:31.120

I KNOW YOU'VE GOT THINGS THAT YOU LOVE TO

PREACH OUT OF THIS BOOK.
00:33:16.250 --> 00:33:18.130
- WELL, I MEAN I WANT TO HEAR WHAT
00:33:18.150 --> 00:33:19.220
YOU GUYS HAVE TO SAY TOO.
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:21.250
- A PSYCHOLOGIST ONCE THAT YOU INTERVIEWED
00:33:21.270 --> 00:33:24.290
ONE TIME SAID A WOMAN NEEDS TO MAKE PEACE WITH
00:33:25.010 --> 00:33:26.280
THEIR THIGHS. YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN THAT?
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:30.210
- I'M GONNA LEAVE NOW.
00:33:30.230 --> 00:33:34.080
- WELL, BASICALLY WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT IS
00:33:34.100 --> 00:33:36.090
YOU HAVE TO GET AROUND TO THE POINT OF ACCEPTING
00:33:36.110 --> 00:33:39.060
YOURSELF AS YOU ARE BEFORE YOU CAN MAKE
00:33:39.080 --> 00:33:44.050
ANY PROGRESS TO BE ANY OTHER WAY.
00:33:44.070 --> 00:33:47.130
- IS THAT LIKE NUMBER ONE, POINT NUMBER ONE
00:33:47.150 --> 00:33:49.230
WHAT WE HAVE TO CHANGE TO GO TO BE HEALED?
00:33:49.250 --> 00:33:53.080
PEOPLE WANT THIS.
00:33:53.100 --> 00:33:55.160
WE WANT OUR EMOTIONS AND OUR SPIRIT AND OUR
00:33:55.180 --> 00:33:57.210
MIND TO BE HEALED.
00:33:57.230 --> 00:34:00.100
WHAT'S THE FIRST THING THAT WE NEED TO DO,
00:34:00.120 --> 00:34:02.200
PROBABLY BESIDES JUST RENEW YOUR MIND WITH
00:34:02.220 --> 00:34:05.010
THE WORD OF GOD?
00:34:05.030 --> 00:34:06.140
- WELL, THE FIRST THING IS YOU NEED TO RECEIVE
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:08.010
JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,
00:34:08.030 --> 00:34:13.240
YOU CAN'T DO THIS AND DO IT RIGHT IF YOU DON'T
00:34:13.260 --> 00:34:17.020
HAVE HIM HELPING YOU AND LIVING ON THE INSIDE OF
00:34:17.040 --> 00:34:20.020
YOU TO BEGIN TO REVEAL TO YOU AND SHOW THINGS TO
00:34:20.040 --> 00:34:23.260
YOU. HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS ISN'T JUST
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:27.160
ABOUT OH, GOOD, I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO HELL
00:34:27.180 --> 00:34:29.270
WHEN I DIE, I GET TO GO TO HEAVEN.
00:34:29.290 --> 00:34:32.150
HE DIED FOR YOU TO HAVE A GREAT LIFE.
00:34:32.170 --> 00:34:34.260
AND I WOULD SAY THAT THE NEXT THING THAT HAS TO
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:38.080
HAPPEN LAURIE IS YOU HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT YOU
00:34:38.100 --> 00:34:40.070
HAVE A PROBLEM, THAT IT'S NOT EVERYBODY ELSE
00:34:40.090 --> 00:34:42.230
THAT HAS A PROBLEM.
00:34:42.250 --> 00:34:44.080
SEE, I THOUGHT EVERYBODY ELSE HAD A PROBLEM.
00:34:44.100 --> 00:34:46.200
I THOUGHT WHAT'S WRONG WITH DAVE, WHAT'S WRONG
00:34:46.220 --> 00:34:48.290
WITH MY KIDS, WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY NEIGHBOR,
00:34:49.010 --> 00:34:51.150
WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY PARENTS.
00:34:51.170 --> 00:34:53.090
IT WAS ALWAYS SOMEBODY ELSE. IT WASN'T ME.
00:34:53.110 --> 00:34:57.190
AND I REMEMBER AN EXPERIENCE I HAD WHEN
00:34:57.210 --> 00:34:59.240
I WAS PRAYING ONE DAY FOR DAVE TO CHANGE,
00:34:59.260 --> 00:35:02.010
AND I MEAN I WAS GOING AFTER IT.
00:35:02.030 --> 00:35:04.200
I PRAYED LOUD AND LONG AND OH, GOD YOU'VE
00:35:04.220 --> 00:35:07.160
GOT TO CHANGE DAVE!
00:35:07.180 --> 00:35:09.090
I'D LAY DOWN ON THE FLOOR ON MY FACE AND GET REAL
00:35:09.110 --> 00:35:11.280
DRAMATIC, "GOD, YOU'VE GOT TO CHANGE DAVE!
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:14.130
I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE!"
00:35:14.150 --> 00:35:16.140
AND I HEARD THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAK TO ME AND
00:35:16.160 --> 00:35:18.080
SAY DAVE'S NOT THE PROBLEM.
00:35:18.100 --> 00:35:21.070
AND I HONESTLY THOUGHT WELL WHO IS? I MEAN.
00:35:21.090 --> 00:35:26.060
- SHOW ME LORD.
00:35:26.080 --> 00:35:27.170
- I COULDN'T EVEN CONCEIVE THAT IT WAS ME.
00:35:27.190 --> 00:35:30.040
I HAD LIVED IN DENIAL FOR SO LONG THAT I THOUGHT
00:35:30.060 --> 00:35:35.100
WELL IF IT'S NOT DAVE, WHO IS IT?
00:35:35.120 --> 00:35:37.230
AND GOD SPENT THE NEXT THREE DAYS REVEALING TO
00:35:37.250 --> 00:35:43.010
ME WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO LIVE IN A HOUSE WITH ME.
00:35:43.030 --> 00:35:46.230
AND I CRIED FOR THREE DAYS BECAUSE
00:35:46.250 --> 00:35:49.000
I MEAN IT'S HARD.
00:35:49.020 --> 00:35:52.030
IT'S HARD WHEN YOU START HAVING TO FACE THAT I'M
00:35:52.050 --> 00:35:55.160
SELFISH, AND I'M JEALOUS, AND I'M SELF-CENTERED,
00:35:55.180 --> 00:35:58.150
AND I'M MAD IF I DON'T GET MY WAY ALL THE TIME,
00:35:58.170 --> 00:36:01.040
BUT EACH ONE OF THOSE TRUTHS THAT YOU FACE THEN
00:36:01.060 --> 00:36:06.050
GIVES YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE FREEDOM.
00:36:06.070 --> 00:36:08.070
YOU CANNOT BE HEALED FROM A PROBLEM UNTIL YOU
00:36:08.090 --> 00:36:11.060
FIRST OWN THE PROBLEM.
00:36:11.080 --> 00:36:13.090
SO HOW LONG IS THAT GONNA TAKE PEOPLE? I DON'T KNOW.
00:36:13.110 --> 00:36:17.170
- THE FIRST THING IS DON'T DO IT ALONE, DO IT WITH
00:36:17.190 --> 00:36:19.180
JESUS. SECOND THING IS ADMIT THAT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.
00:36:19.200 --> 00:36:23.170
WHAT'S THE THIRD THING?
00:36:23.190 --> 00:36:25.130
I WANT TO GET THIS OUT BECAUSE.
00:36:25.150 --> 00:36:27.010
- DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM?
00:36:27.030 --> 00:36:29.090
- THEN THERE'S NUMBER THREE.
00:36:29.110 --> 00:36:31.020
WHAT'S THE NEXT PROGRESSION?
00:36:31.040 --> 00:36:34.100
- WELL, THERE'S ONE CHAPTER IN HERE ABOUT
00:36:34.120 --> 00:36:36.090
FINDING YOUR PATH, AND THE THING IS THE HOLY
00:36:36.110 --> 00:36:41.180
SPIRIT WILL TAKE OVER YOUR HEALING IF YOU
00:36:41.200 --> 00:36:44.230
ASK HIM, I NEED YOU TO HEAL ME.
00:36:44.250 --> 00:36:48.230
THE GREAT THING ABOUT PUTTING THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:36:48.250 --> 00:36:50.260
ON YOUR CASE IS HE ALREADY KNOWS MORE ABOUT
00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:53.130
YOU THAN YOU'LL EVER FIND OUT, AND HE KNOWS EXACTLY
00:36:53.150 --> 00:36:56.290
WHAT IT TAKES FOR EACH PERSON AND EXACTLY WHEN
00:36:57.010 --> 00:37:00.290
THE RIGHT TIME IS.
00:37:01.010 --> 00:37:04.270
LIKE I MIGHT CONFRONT SOMEBODY ABOUT SOMETHING
00:37:04.290 --> 00:37:09.270
TOO SOON. I'LL GIVE AN EXAMPLE.
00:37:09.290 --> 00:37:11.140
I WAS COUNSELING A WOMAN ONE TIME AND SHE HAD JUST
00:37:11.160 --> 00:37:14.260
RECEIVED JESUS, BUT SHE WAS LIVING WITH HER
00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:18.050
BOYFRIEND AND HAD BEEN FOR A LONG TIME.
00:37:18.070 --> 00:37:20.230
WELL, SHE WAS IN THE OFFICE FOR COUNSELING AND
00:37:20.250 --> 00:37:22.280
I WAS ALREADY PLANNING WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY
00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:24.250
TO HER WHILE SHE WAS TALKING, AND I THOUGHT
00:37:24.270 --> 00:37:26.090
I'M GONNA TELL HER
00:37:26.110 --> 00:37:28.040
SHE'S GOT TO PUT AN END TO THIS RELATIONSHIP.
00:37:28.060 --> 00:37:30.080
SHE CAN'T BE LIVING IN THAT KIND OF SIN AND
00:37:30.100 --> 00:37:32.130
EXPECT GOD TO HELP HER.
00:37:32.150 --> 00:37:33.230
THE HOLY SPIRIT CLEARLY SAID IT ME, YOU'RE NOT
00:37:33.250 --> 00:37:35.270
GOING TO TELL HER THAT.
00:37:35.290 --> 00:37:37.170
SHE'S NOT READY FOR THAT.
00:37:37.190 --> 00:37:39.140
WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT, I'LL TELL HER THAT.
00:37:39.160 --> 00:37:42.080
AND I THINK EVEN IN DEALING WITH PEOPLE,
00:37:42.100 --> 00:37:44.140
SOMEBODY GETS SAVED LAST NIGHT, AND WE WANT TO SIT
00:37:44.160 --> 00:37:47.200
THEM DOWN TODAY AND TELL THEM ALL THE THINGS NOW
00:37:47.220 --> 00:37:50.230
THAT THEY HAVE TO CHANGE, BUT MAYBE THEY NEED TO BE
00:37:50.250 --> 00:37:55.080
LOVED ON BY GOD FOR SIX MONTHS BEFORE THEY CAN DO
00:37:55.100 --> 00:37:58.150
ANY OF THAT.
00:37:58.170 --> 00:38:01.150
SO THE HOLY SPIRIT KNOWS EXACTLY WHEN AND EXACTLY HOW.
00:38:01.170 --> 00:38:04.060
SO I WAS MARRIED TO DAVE FOR SEVERAL YEARS,
00:38:04.080 --> 00:38:08.250
PROBABLY FIVE OR SIX YEARS, AND WE WENT TO A
00:38:08.270 --> 00:38:12.100
CHURCH SERVICE WHERE THERE WAS A WOMAN GIVING
00:38:12.120 --> 00:38:14.260
HER TESTIMONY THAT NIGHT THAT HAD BEEN SEXUALLY
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:18.130
ABUSED BY HER FATHER, LIKE I HAD.
00:38:18.150 --> 00:38:20.170
AND SHE HAD WRITTEN A BOOK, AND YOU KNOW, I
00:38:20.190 --> 00:38:26.040
WASN'T GOING TO BUY THE BOOK.
00:38:26.060 --> 00:38:27.280
I MEAN, THAT WASN'T MY PROBLEM BECAUSE I THOUGHT
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:31.110
WHEN I GOT AWAY FROM MY FATHER THAT I GOT AWAY
00:38:31.130 --> 00:38:34.180
FROM MY PROBLEM.
00:38:34.200 --> 00:38:36.200
BUT SEE, I DIDN'T REALIZE I TOOK IT WITH ME IN MY
00:38:36.220 --> 00:38:38.270
SOUL, AND THAT'S WHAT SO MANY PEOPLE THINK.
00:38:38.290 --> 00:38:41.040
THEY THINK YOU KNOW, I'M OUT OF HERE.
00:38:41.060 --> 00:38:45.220
I MEAN, I HAD MY PLAN.
00:38:45.240 --> 00:38:47.230
I'M OUT OF HERE.
00:38:47.250 --> 00:38:49.150
NOBODY'S EVER GOING TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO AGAIN.
00:38:49.170 --> 00:38:51.230
I'LL NEVER TRUST ANYBODY AGAIN.
00:38:51.250 --> 00:38:54.080
NOBODY EVER GOING TO HURT ME AGAIN.
00:38:54.100 --> 00:38:55.290
AND SO I HAD ALL OF THESE INNER VOWS, ALL OF THESE
00:38:56.010 --> 00:38:58.060
PROMISES, THAT I HAD MADE TO MYSELF TO MAKE CARE OF
00:38:58.080 --> 00:39:00.270
MYSELF, AND I WOULDN'T REALLY LET ANYBODY EVEN IN.
00:39:00.290 --> 00:39:03.070
I WOULDN'T LET ANYBODY GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO EVEN
00:39:03.090 --> 00:39:05.150
TAKE A CHANCE ON HURTING ME.
00:39:05.170 --> 00:39:09.010
AND SO I DIDN'T REALLY REALIZE HOW
00:39:09.030 --> 00:39:14.200
MANY PROBLEMS I HAD.
00:39:14.220 --> 00:39:16.160
WELL, DAVE BOUGHT ME THE BOOK, AND HE GAVE IT TO
00:39:16.180 --> 00:39:19.260
ME, AND I MEAN, I REMEMBER I WAS SITTING,
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:25.070
AND I OPENED UP THE BOOK, AND CHAPTER ONE, PAGE
00:39:25.090 --> 00:39:28.040
ONE, THIS GIRL IS DESCRIBING THE ABUSE IN
00:39:28.060 --> 00:39:31.180
DETAIL AND SOME OF THE THINGS HER FATHER
00:39:31.200 --> 00:39:34.010
DID TO HER.
00:39:34.030 --> 00:39:35.230
I MEAN, THE PAIN THAT CAME ROARING UP
00:39:35.250 --> 00:39:37.240
OUT OF MY SOUL.
00:39:37.260 --> 00:39:39.250
I TOOK THAT BOOK, AND I THREW IT ACROSS THE ROOM,
00:39:39.270 --> 00:39:42.080
AND I SAID OUT LOUD, HOME BY MYSELF,
00:39:42.100 --> 00:39:44.120
I WILL NOT READ THIS.
00:39:44.140 --> 00:39:46.050
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT SO SWEETLY SAID, IT'S TIME.
00:39:46.070 --> 00:39:49.240
- WOW.
00:39:49.260 --> 00:39:51.240
- SO HE KNOWS THE RIGHT TIME AND THE RIGHT WAY,
00:39:51.260 --> 00:39:56.060
AND SO WHEN YOU DECIDE YOU DO WANT TO GET WELL,
00:39:56.080 --> 00:40:00.190
YOU NEED TO, FIRST, ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO BEGIN
00:40:00.210 --> 00:40:03.010
TO GUIDE YOU DOWN THE PATH THAT HE HAS FOR YOU.
00:40:03.030 --> 00:40:07.040
LIKE I SAID, MAYBE FOR SOME PEOPLE, THAT'S GOING
00:40:07.060 --> 00:40:10.030
AND TALKING TO YOUR PASTOR.
00:40:10.050 --> 00:40:11.140
MAYBE FOR SOME PEOPLE, THAT'S JOINING A GROUP AT
00:40:11.160 --> 00:40:16.060
YOUR CHURCH THAT DEALS WITH THESE KINDS OF ISSUES.
00:40:16.080 --> 00:40:18.190
MAYBE IT'S GOING FOR SOME PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING.
00:40:18.210 --> 00:40:22.050
FIRST OF ALL, I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR
00:40:22.070 --> 00:40:24.210
PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING, BUT I RECEIVED MY HEALING
00:40:24.230 --> 00:40:28.190
FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:40:28.210 --> 00:40:30.270
THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I'M AGAINST PSYCHOLOGY.
00:40:30.290 --> 00:40:33.070
I THINK IT CAN BE VERY GOOD, BUT THAT'S
00:40:33.090 --> 00:40:35.110
NOT THE ONLY WAY.
00:40:35.130 --> 00:40:37.290
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ALWAYS HAVE THAT TO GET IT
00:40:38.010 --> 00:40:40.040
BECAUSE WHAT IS ONE OF THE FUNCTIONS
00:40:40.060 --> 00:40:42.060
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?
00:40:42.080 --> 00:40:44.060
HE IS THE COUNSELOR.
00:40:44.080 --> 00:40:48.100
SO HE CAN SHOW US WHAT INFORM DO, AND I CAN
00:40:48.120 --> 00:40:50.120
LITERALLY SAY THAT FOR ME, WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:40:50.140 --> 00:40:52.150
TOOK OVER MY CASE, HE JUST BEGAN TO SHOW ME
00:40:52.170 --> 00:40:56.190
STEP-BY-STEP -- AND THE MIND WAS A BIG THING FOR ME.
00:40:56.210 --> 00:41:02.170
THUS, I WROTE "BATTLEFIELD OF THE
00:41:02.190 --> 00:41:04.170
MIND", WHICH IS STILL PROBABLY OUR NUMBER ONE BOOK.
00:41:04.190 --> 00:41:06.200
AND MY THINKING WAS SO MESSED UP.
00:41:06.220 --> 00:41:10.190
I MEAN, IT WAS JUST -- I LET THE DEVIL LIE TO ME
00:41:10.210 --> 00:41:15.000
FOR YEARS AND DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HE WAS DOING IT.
00:41:15.020 --> 00:41:17.070
SO I LEARNED THAT I HAD TO COMPARE MY THINKING TO
00:41:17.090 --> 00:41:20.270
WHAT GOD'S WORD SAID.
00:41:20.290 --> 00:41:23.110
SO WHEN I HEARD NOBODY LOVES YOU, AND NOBODY
00:41:23.130 --> 00:41:25.140
EVER WILL, I HAD TO SAY, NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE
00:41:25.160 --> 00:41:29.210
BECAUSE GOD LOVES ME, AND HE ALWAYS WILL.
00:41:29.230 --> 00:41:32.030
AND SO I CAN'T GIVE, I CAN'T SAY JUST LIKE STEP
00:41:32.050 --> 00:41:37.240
ONE THROUGH TWENTY FOR EVERYBODY BECAUSE GOD'S
00:41:37.260 --> 00:41:41.090
GOING TO DO IT IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
00:41:41.110 --> 00:41:43.230
BUT IN READING A BOOK LIKE THIS, I THINK THIS
00:41:43.250 --> 00:41:46.060
IS LIKE A MANUAL FOR THE HEALING OF THE SOUL.
00:41:46.080 --> 00:41:53.160
ONE CHAPTER IN HERE IS THE WOUNDS OF SIN.
00:41:53.180 --> 00:41:55.230
SEE, SOME PEOPLE ARE WATCHING TODAY, AND
00:41:55.250 --> 00:41:58.070
YOU'RE NOT HURTING.
00:41:58.090 --> 00:41:59.270
YOU DON'T HAVE A WOUNDED SOUL BECAUSE SOMEBODY DID
00:41:59.290 --> 00:42:01.220
SOMETHING TO YOU.
00:42:01.240 --> 00:42:03.200
YOU HAVE A WOUNDED SOUL BECAUSE OF SOMETHING YOU DID.
00:42:03.220 --> 00:42:07.140
AND SO THAT PERSON, THEN, NEEDS TO REALIZE THAT
00:42:07.160 --> 00:42:13.280
THERE'S NO SIN THEY'VE COMMITTED THAT CANNOT BE
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:15.180
FORGIVEN.
00:42:15.200 --> 00:42:18.060
THERE'S NOTHING IN THEIR PAST THAT GOD CANNOT HEAL
00:42:18.080 --> 00:42:20.140
AND REDEEM... AND REDEEM.
00:42:20.160 --> 00:42:26.010
THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE GOD WILL TAKE THE
00:42:26.030 --> 00:42:30.000
MOST AWFUL THING WE DID, AND IF WE LET HIM
00:42:30.020 --> 00:42:32.280
ACTUALLY TURN IT AROUND AND WORK IT OUT FOR OUR GOOD.
00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:38.040
SO ALL THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO ME IN MY
00:42:38.060 --> 00:42:40.230
CHILDHOOD -- I KNOW THIS SOUNDS DUMB -- BUT I
00:42:40.250 --> 00:42:45.090
CAN'T EVEN SAY NOW THAT I'M SORRY THAT THEY HAPPENED.
00:42:45.110 --> 00:42:47.020
- WOW.
00:42:47.040 --> 00:42:49.010
- I USED TO SAY WELL, IF ONLY THAT
00:42:49.030 --> 00:42:50.190
WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED.
00:42:50.210 --> 00:42:52.120
IF IT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED, I WOULDN'T BE
00:42:52.140 --> 00:42:54.050
THE PERSON THAT I AM TODAY, AND I WOULDN'T
00:42:54.070 --> 00:42:56.060
KNOW SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOW.
00:42:56.080 --> 00:43:00.150
I WENT THROUGH A VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION AT A
00:43:00.170 --> 00:43:02.230
CHURCH THAT I WORKED AT ONE TIME.
00:43:02.250 --> 00:43:06.140
SO MANY PAINFUL EXPERIENCES, BUT I
00:43:06.160 --> 00:43:10.100
LEARNED MORE OUT OF THAT ABOUT LEADERSHIP THAN I
00:43:10.120 --> 00:43:18.000
COULD EVEN BEGIN TO TELL YOU BECAUSE I DIDN'T
00:43:18.020 --> 00:43:20.190
LEARN WHAT TO DO, BUT I SURE LEARNED WHAT NOT TO DO.
00:43:20.210 --> 00:43:22.200
- RIGHT, YES.
00:43:22.220 --> 00:43:24.240
- YOU SAID I THOUGHT THAT WHEN I GOT AWAY FROM
00:43:24.260 --> 00:43:28.150
MY PARENTS, AND SPECIFICALLY YOUR FATHER,
00:43:28.170 --> 00:43:32.130
THAT I DIDN'T NOW HAVE ANY PROBLEM.
00:43:32.150 --> 00:43:35.110
- RIGHT.
00:43:35.130 --> 00:43:37.050
- BUT YOU HAD CARRIED IT IN YOUR SOUL.
00:43:37.070 --> 00:43:39.150
- RIGHT.
00:43:39.170 --> 00:43:41.090
- YOU DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THAT, SO THIS
00:43:41.110 --> 00:43:44.100
BOOK AND THE HEALING OF YOUR SOUL IS SUPER
00:43:44.120 --> 00:43:47.000
IMPORTANT BECAUSE MOST -- LET ME JUST SAY IF YOU
00:43:47.020 --> 00:43:49.250
HAD WRITTEN "HEALING THE SOUL OF A MAN", YOU KNOW
00:43:49.270 --> 00:43:53.130
WHAT WOULD NEED TO BE THE FIRST THING?
00:43:53.150 --> 00:43:55.180
IS LOGISTICALLY IF YOU'RE AWAY FROM THE PROBLEM,
00:43:55.200 --> 00:43:58.140
IT'S OVER. BECAUSE YOU KNOW, WE FIX IT, RIGHT?
00:43:58.160 --> 00:44:03.180
YOU MOVE ACROSS COUNTRY, IF IT WAS
00:44:03.200 --> 00:44:05.160
I BAD RELATIONSHIP.
00:44:05.180 --> 00:44:07.110
SEE, IN MY MIND, THAT WOULD HAVE FIXED IT
00:44:07.130 --> 00:44:11.010
TOTALLY, TOO, ALSO.
00:44:11.030 --> 00:44:13.150
MAYBE WE THINK SIMILARLY, BUT ULTIMATELY, THAT'S
00:44:13.170 --> 00:44:16.050
WHY THIS BOOK EXISTS BECAUSE YOU DRUG
00:44:16.070 --> 00:44:20.110
EVERYTHING IN YOUR SOUL AND DIDN'T REALIZE IT.
00:44:20.130 --> 00:44:22.060
- RIGHT.
00:44:22.080 --> 00:44:24.010
- GEOGRAPHICALLY, YOU DON'T GET AWAY FROM THE
00:44:24.030 --> 00:44:26.000
THING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS TO FIX IT.
00:44:26.020 --> 00:44:27.270
- YOU TAKE IT WITH YOU.
00:44:27.290 --> 00:44:29.210
- YOU CARRY IT WITH YOU IN YOUR SOUL.
00:44:29.230 --> 00:44:31.120
- BY THE WAY, I'VE TOLD MEN, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
00:44:31.140 --> 00:44:32.260
IS PUT A PIECE OF TAPE OVER THE W-O...
00:44:32.280 --> 00:44:34.280
[LAUGHTER]
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:36.160
- IT WORKS.
00:44:36.180 --> 00:44:38.080
- AND I ADMIT IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A GIRLY
00:44:38.100 --> 00:44:39.280
COVER FOR A GUY, BUT IF YOU CAN HANDLE A BOOK
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:41.140
WITH A ROSE ON IT, I MEAN, THE SAME
00:44:41.160 --> 00:44:43.050
THING WORKS FOR MEN.
00:44:43.070 --> 00:44:44.280
- ABSOLUTELY.
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:46.160
- THERE ARE MORE WOMEN THAT ARE WOUNDED IN THEIR
00:44:46.180 --> 00:44:49.060
SOUL THAN MEN BECAUSE --
00:44:49.080 --> 00:44:51.010
- LIKE THAT?
00:44:51.030 --> 00:44:52.200
- YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. SEE, HEALING THE SOUL OF A MAN.
00:44:52.220 --> 00:44:54.050
- THERE YOU GO.
00:44:54.070 --> 00:44:56.040
- AND IF YOU'RE REAL SECURE, YOU CAN HAVE A
00:44:56.060 --> 00:44:57.220
BOOK WITH A PINK ROSE ON IT, AND IT
00:44:57.240 --> 00:44:59.040
WOULDN'T BOTHER YOU.
00:44:59.060 --> 00:45:00.200
- OR YOU COULD TAKE IT OFF AND HAVE A PURPLE BOOK.
00:45:00.220 --> 00:45:02.060
- THAT'S TRUE. - GOT IT.
00:45:02.080 --> 00:45:03.250
- I LOVE THE CHAPTER ABOUT BEING YOUR OWN BEST ALLY.
00:45:03.270 --> 00:45:07.200
- THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT.
00:45:07.220 --> 00:45:09.150
- I LOVE THAT.
00:45:09.170 --> 00:45:11.150
- YOU GOTTA BE YOUR OWN FRIEND.
00:45:11.170 --> 00:45:13.240
BE A FRIEND TO YOURSELF, AND DO
00:45:13.260 --> 00:45:15.220
THINGS FOR YOURSELF.
00:45:15.240 --> 00:45:18.210
I LOVE THAT DAVID SAID HE ENCOURAGED
00:45:18.230 --> 00:45:20.170
HIMSELF IN THE LORD.
00:45:20.190 --> 00:45:22.160
YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALWAYS WAITING FOR SOMEBODY ELSE
00:45:22.180 --> 00:45:24.180
TO TELL US WE'RE OKAY.
00:45:24.200 --> 00:45:26.120
WELL, YOU CAN GET THAT FROM GOD.
00:45:26.140 --> 00:45:28.160
IF YOU WILL LEARN TO BELIEVE, IF YOU'LL JUST
00:45:28.180 --> 00:45:31.230
LEARN TO BELIEVE WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT YOU, LIKE I
00:45:31.250 --> 00:45:34.050
LIKE MYSELF, AND I KNOW THAT UNDER NORMAL
00:45:34.070 --> 00:45:39.000
CIRCUMSTANCES, THAT WOULD SOUND REALLY HAUGHTY AND
00:45:39.020 --> 00:45:41.210
LIKE I WAS JUST FULL OF MYSELF, BUT JESUS DIED
00:45:41.230 --> 00:45:45.110
FOR US, AND REALLY, THINK IT'S ALMOST LIKE A SLAP
00:45:45.130 --> 00:45:49.200
IN HIS FACE TO HATE YOURSELF OR
00:45:49.220 --> 00:45:53.240
BE AGAINST YOURSELF.
00:45:53.260 --> 00:45:55.170
THE BIBLE SAYS YOU DON'T BELONG TO YOURSELF OF THE
00:45:55.190 --> 00:45:58.070
YOU WERE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE, AND THE PRICE THAT
00:45:58.090 --> 00:46:01.030
WE WERE PURCHASED WITH WAS THE BLOOD OF JESUS
00:46:01.050 --> 00:46:03.210
AND ALL THE PAIN AND SUFFERING THAT HE WENT THROUGH.
00:46:03.230 --> 00:46:05.200
AND I LIKE TO SPEND TIME ALONE.
00:46:05.220 --> 00:46:08.230
I LIKE TO SPEND TIME WITH MYSELF, AND A LOT OF
00:46:08.250 --> 00:46:12.130
PEOPLE, THEY'VE GOT TO HAVE NOISE GOING ON
00:46:12.150 --> 00:46:14.220
AROUND THEM ALL THE TIME, AND THEY'VE GOT TO
00:46:14.240 --> 00:46:16.220
HAVE THE TV ON.
00:46:16.240 --> 00:46:18.220
THEY GOT TO HAVE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE AROUND
00:46:18.240 --> 00:46:20.110
THEM ALL THE TIME, AND SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST
00:46:20.130 --> 00:46:22.020
SOCIAL BUTTERFLIES.
00:46:22.040 --> 00:46:23.270
THAT'S PART OF THEIR PERSONALITY, BUT A LOT OF
00:46:23.290 --> 00:46:26.030
TIMES PEOPLE STAY TOO BUSY TO HAVE TO
00:46:26.050 --> 00:46:28.130
DEAL WITH THEMSELVES.
00:46:28.150 --> 00:46:30.060
THEY JUST GO FROM THING TO THING TO THING SO THEY
00:46:30.080 --> 00:46:33.070
DON'T HAVE TO REALLY FACE THEMSELVES.
00:46:33.090 --> 00:46:36.100
BUT YOU NEED TO BECOME A FRIEND TO YOURSELF, AND
00:46:36.120 --> 00:46:38.220
DON'T ALWAYS BE WAITING FOR SOMEBODY ELSE TO DO
00:46:38.240 --> 00:46:40.250
SOMETHING FOR YOU.
00:46:40.270 --> 00:46:42.210
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYBODY THAT'S DOING SOMETHING
00:46:42.230 --> 00:46:44.210
FOR YOU, THEN GO DO SOMETHING FOR
00:46:44.230 --> 00:46:46.110
YOURSELF, YOU KNOW?
00:46:46.130 --> 00:46:48.050
DO SOMETHING THAT -- I JUST THINK THAT'S
00:46:48.070 --> 00:46:51.090
IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU KNOW, MOST PEOPLE REALLY
00:46:51.110 --> 00:46:54.160
DON'T LIKE THEMSELVES.
00:46:54.180 --> 00:46:56.110
IF YOU GET RIGHT DOWN TO IT.
00:46:56.130 --> 00:46:58.000
AND I FOUND OUT THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THE
00:46:58.020 --> 00:47:00.180
HOLY SPIRIT SHOWED ME IS -- I WAS A VERY
00:47:00.200 --> 00:47:04.080
UNMERCIFUL PERSON, VERY LEGALISTIC AND I MEAN,
00:47:04.100 --> 00:47:10.100
I WOULD HAVE MADE A GREAT PHARISEE.
00:47:10.120 --> 00:47:12.130
YOU HAD TO DO IT MY WAY AND MY TIME,
00:47:12.150 --> 00:47:14.180
AND I WASN'T GIVING IN.
00:47:14.200 --> 00:47:18.050
AND WHEN I STARTED REALLY PRAYING ABOUT, GOD, I
00:47:18.070 --> 00:47:20.060
WANT TO BE MERCIFUL TO PEOPLE, BUT I DON'T
00:47:20.080 --> 00:47:21.240
SEEM TO BE ABLE TO.
00:47:21.260 --> 00:47:23.140
AND WHAT HE SHOWED ME IS, WELL, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW
00:47:23.160 --> 00:47:26.100
TO RECEIVE MERCY, AND YOU CAN'T GIVE AWAY
00:47:26.120 --> 00:47:28.270
WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE.
00:47:28.290 --> 00:47:31.110
THAT'S BEEN LIKE A BIG THING FOR ME WITH GOD IS
00:47:31.130 --> 00:47:33.170
YOU CANNOT GIVE AWAY WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE.
00:47:33.190 --> 00:47:35.170
AND HE WILL EQUIP US TO DO EVERYTHING HE WANTS US
00:47:35.190 --> 00:47:39.160
TO DO, BUT WE GET IT FROM HIM.
00:47:39.180 --> 00:47:44.040
IT'S LIKE IF WE RECEIVE IT FROM HIM, THEN WE'VE
00:47:44.060 --> 00:47:47.070
GOT IT, AND WE CAN THEN RELEASE IT,
00:47:47.090 --> 00:47:50.130
AND HE GETS THE CREDIT. WE DON'T.

YOUR HEART, YOUR SOUL, IS A TREASURE AND
00:48:12.190 --> 00:48:14.280
MUST BE PROTECTED.
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:16.240
YET, SO MANY WOMEN CARRY WOUNDS OF REJECTION,
00:48:16.260 --> 00:48:18.250
BETRAYAL AND ABANDONMENT AND EVEN ABUSE.
00:48:18.270 --> 00:48:21.250
AND WHEN WE IGNORE THE WOUNDS, TRUE FREEDOM,
00:48:21.270 --> 00:48:24.060
REAL HEALING, IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE.

- HEALING THE SOUL OF A WOMAN, AND IF YOU DO THIS
00:50:09.120 --> 00:50:12.160
RIGHT HERE, IT'S HEALING THE SOUL OF A MAN, IS
00:50:12.180 --> 00:50:17.040
KIND OF WINDING DOWN.
00:50:17.060 --> 00:50:18.290
WE'VE GOT ABOUT FIVE MINUTES LEFT IN THIS
00:50:19.010 --> 00:50:21.110
BROADCAST, AND WHAT I WOULD LOVE TO DO, JOYCE,
00:50:21.130 --> 00:50:24.040
IF YOU WOULD, JUST TWO THINGS.
00:50:24.060 --> 00:50:26.090
HOW DO WE KIND OF PUT A NICE LITTLE
00:50:26.110 --> 00:50:30.240
CONCLUSION ON THIS?
00:50:30.260 --> 00:50:32.170
AND PRAY FOR THE AUDIENCE THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO
00:50:32.190 --> 00:50:36.210
HEAR WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THEM RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF
00:50:36.230 --> 00:50:38.220
THAT TIMING THING.
00:50:38.240 --> 00:50:40.220
YOU'VE REALLY DRILLED THAT DOWN, THAT THERE'S A
00:50:40.240 --> 00:50:45.120
A RHYTHM TO WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO AND THAT
00:50:45.140 --> 00:50:47.210
ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL.
00:50:47.230 --> 00:50:50.090
SO JUST KIND OF PUT A LITTLE BIT OF A WRAP UP
00:50:50.110 --> 00:50:54.280
ON THIS, A BIT OF A PRAYER, AND THEN KIND OF
00:50:55.000 --> 00:50:57.190
GET YOUR FINAL THOUGHTS.
00:50:57.210 --> 00:50:59.190
- YOU HAVE TO REALIZE THAT WHATEVER PATH GOD
00:50:59.210 --> 00:51:04.290
TAKES YOU DOWN, AND I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT
00:51:05.010 --> 00:51:07.120
THAT'S GOING TO BE, I CAN TELL YOU THAT HE'S
00:51:07.140 --> 00:51:10.010
FAITHFUL, AND HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN.
00:51:10.030 --> 00:51:13.150
IF YOU ASK GOD TO HELP YOU IN THIS, AND YOU'RE
00:51:13.170 --> 00:51:15.200
WILLING TO DO WHAT HE SHOWS YOU WHO TO DO, THEN
00:51:15.220 --> 00:51:18.270
YOU WILL MAKE PROGRESS A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME.
00:51:18.290 --> 00:51:24.270
WHY A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME?
00:51:24.290 --> 00:51:27.110
I DON'T KNOW, BUT GOD DOESN'T GET IN A BIG
00:51:27.130 --> 00:51:28.290
HURRY ABOUT THINGS.
00:51:29.010 --> 00:51:30.160
HE TAKES HIS GOOD OLD TIME ABOUT ALMOST
00:51:30.180 --> 00:51:32.150
EVERYTHING THAT HE DOES, BUT WHEN HE DOES
00:51:32.170 --> 00:51:35.030
SOMETHING, HE DOES IT RIGHT.
00:51:35.050 --> 00:51:36.260
AND SO GOING INTO THIS, YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR
00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:40.100
MIND UP THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A QUICK FIX,
00:51:40.120 --> 00:51:44.040
OVERNIGHT, DRIVE THROUGH HEALING.
00:51:44.060 --> 00:51:47.130
AND IF YOUR SOUL IS RIPE, IF YOUR MIND -- IF YOU
00:51:47.150 --> 00:51:52.080
CAN THINK PROPERLY ACCORDING TO THE WORD, IF
00:51:52.100 --> 00:51:54.180
YOU CAN OWN YOUR EMOTIONS INSTEAD OF LETTING THEM
00:51:54.200 --> 00:51:57.230
OWN YOU, YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE FEELINGS,
00:51:57.250 --> 00:52:00.070
BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS YOU DON'T HAVE TO ALWAYS ACT
00:52:00.090 --> 00:52:02.130
ON EVERY FEELING THAT YOU HAVE.
00:52:02.150 --> 00:52:04.100
AND IF YOU CAN MAKE WILLFUL DECISIONS
00:52:04.120 --> 00:52:07.060
ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD, NO MATTER WHAT'S
00:52:07.080 --> 00:52:10.100
GOING ON OUTSIDE IN YOUR LIFE -- YOU MAY NEED MONEY.
00:52:10.120 --> 00:52:14.130
YOU MAY WANT TO BE MARRIED, AND YOU'RE NOT MARRIED.
00:52:14.150 --> 00:52:16.250
YOU MAY HAVE PEOPLE THAT YOU'RE DEALING WITH THAT
00:52:16.270 --> 00:52:19.180
ARE DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH.
00:52:19.200 --> 00:52:21.280
YOU MIGHT HAVE A TOUGH JOB OF THE YOU COULD
00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:23.110
EVEN BE IN PRISON.
00:52:23.130 --> 00:52:25.040
BUT IF YOU'RE RIGHT INSIDE, THEN YOU CAN BE
00:52:25.060 --> 00:52:27.190
HAPPY NO MATTER WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND YOU
00:52:27.210 --> 00:52:30.040
BECAUSE YOUR REAL LIFE IS IN YOU.
00:52:30.060 --> 00:52:33.200
IT'S NOT YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES.
00:52:33.220 --> 00:52:36.140
YOUR REAL LIFE IS IN YOU.
00:52:36.160 --> 00:52:38.100
SO PLEASE, PLEASE GIVE GOD A CHANCE. LET'S PRAY.
00:52:38.120 --> 00:52:42.230
FATHER, I PRAY IN JESUS' NAME THAT EVERYBODY
00:52:42.250 --> 00:52:45.240
WATCHING WHO HAS A WOUNDED SOUL WILL LET YOU
00:52:45.260 --> 00:52:48.200
IN, THAT THEY WON'T HOLD ANY DOORS CLOSED, NO
00:52:48.220 --> 00:52:52.140
SECRET PLACES ANYMORE, THAT THEY WILL LET YOU
00:52:52.160 --> 00:52:57.150
IN, AND THAT THOSE WHO HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOU AS
00:52:57.170 --> 00:53:01.000
SAVIOR WILL CALL I'M SURE THE NUMBER THAT'S ON THE
00:53:01.020 --> 00:53:04.290
SCREEN RIGHT NOW, PRAY WITH SOMEBODY OR PRAY
00:53:05.010 --> 00:53:07.160
THEMSELVES, REPENT OF THEIR SINS AND ASK YOU
00:53:07.180 --> 00:53:11.160
INTO THEIR HEART.
00:53:11.180 --> 00:53:13.100
AND I PRAY THAT WOULD YOU BEGIN A HEALING IN THEM
00:53:13.120 --> 00:53:16.280
THAT WOULD JUST COMPLETELY
00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:18.270
REVOLUTIONIZE THEIR LIFE.
00:53:18.290 --> 00:53:21.040
AND I PRAY FOR THEM THAT THEY WON'T GIVE UP UNTIL
00:53:21.060 --> 00:53:24.230
IT'S COMPLETELY DONE. IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.
00:53:24.250 --> 00:53:28.120
- BEAUTIFUL. "HEALING THE SOUL OF A WOMAN" IS WHAT WE ARE
00:53:28.140 --> 00:53:32.280
DISCUSSING AND UNPACKING, AND I'M GOING TO ASK YOU
00:53:33.000 --> 00:53:37.070
A QUESTION AND ANSWER IT, IN CASE WE EVEN HAVE TO
00:53:37.090 --> 00:53:42.200
EDIT SOMETHING ELSE BECAUSE I WANT TO ASK IT
00:53:42.220 --> 00:53:45.020
BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE WHAT THE TAKE AWAY FOR ME
00:53:45.040 --> 00:53:49.000
IS IS THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT AND YOUR HEALING
00:53:49.020 --> 00:53:52.080
IS, FIRST OF ALL WORK.
00:53:52.100 --> 00:53:54.230
WE ALWAYS WANT GOD TO DO SOMETHING FOR US OR TO
00:53:54.250 --> 00:53:57.080
US, AND WE DON'T WANT TO JUST DO THE HARD
00:53:57.100 --> 00:53:59.290
WORK AND GET FIXED.
00:54:00.030 --> 00:54:02.080
SO I WAS WATCHING SOMETHING NOT LONG AGO,
00:54:02.100 --> 00:54:05.290
AND I HEARD THIS TERM "SAME DAY SEED" WHICH
00:54:06.010 --> 00:54:10.080
SEEMED TO BE TRYING TO SHORTCUT SOMETHING.
00:54:10.100 --> 00:54:14.200
GIVE NOW, AND THERE'S THIS SAME DAY SEED.
00:54:14.220 --> 00:54:17.210
SO THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
00:54:17.230 --> 00:54:24.290
- AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S REALITY.
00:54:25.010 --> 00:54:27.030
THOSE KINDS OF STATEMENTS ACTUALLY REALLY AGGRAVATE
00:54:27.050 --> 00:54:29.070
ME BECAUSE IT'S LIKE TELLING SOMEBODY WHEN
00:54:29.090 --> 00:54:30.260
THEY RECEIVED CHRIST THAT THAT'S THE END OF
00:54:30.280 --> 00:54:32.290
ALL OF THEIR PROBLEMS.
00:54:33.010 --> 00:54:35.030
THAT IS JUST ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE.
00:54:35.050 --> 00:54:37.040
I TELL PEOPLE THERE'S NO GUARANTEE YOU WON'T HAVE
00:54:37.060 --> 00:54:39.170
PROBLEMS, BUT IF YOU HAVE JESUS, YOU NEVER HAVE TO
00:54:39.190 --> 00:54:41.270
DEAL WITH THEM ALONE.
00:54:41.290 --> 00:54:43.220
YOU ALWAYS HAVE SOMEBODY TO HELP YOU, AND YOUR
00:54:43.240 --> 00:54:46.050
WORST DAY WITH HIM WILL BETTER THAN YOUR BEST
00:54:46.070 --> 00:54:48.190
DAY EVER WAS WITHOUT HIM.
00:54:48.210 --> 00:54:51.170
AND ONE OF THE CHAPTERS IS CALLED "THE PAINLESS
00:54:51.190 --> 00:54:54.290
PATH." WE ALL LOOK FOR THAT, BUT THERE
00:54:55.010 --> 00:54:57.210
IS NO SUCH THING.
00:54:57.230 --> 00:54:59.190
JESUS WALKED A PATH OF PAIN, AND THERE'S A BROAD
00:54:59.210 --> 00:55:02.270
PATH AND A NARROW PATH, AND IF YOU WANT TO LIVE
00:55:02.290 --> 00:55:05.070
ON THE BROAD PATH, WHICH ENDS IN DESTRUCTION, YOU
00:55:05.090 --> 00:55:07.200
CAN FIND A WAY TO NUMB YOUR PAIN, OR YOU CAN
00:55:07.220 --> 00:55:12.230
DRUG IT AWAY OR ALCOHOL IT AWAY OR SEX IT AWAY OR
00:55:12.250 --> 00:55:15.290
WHATEVER YOU THINK YOU DO TO END IT, BUT IT'S STILL
00:55:16.010 --> 00:55:19.130
GOING TO BE THERE TO HAUNT YOU WHEN
00:55:19.150 --> 00:55:21.120
YOU'RE BY YOURSELF.
00:55:21.140 --> 00:55:23.250
AND THE THING IS IS GOD WILL DO THIS IN YOUR
00:55:23.270 --> 00:55:28.140
LIFE, BUT IT IS WORK, AND ONE SCRIPTURE MAKES
00:55:28.160 --> 00:55:31.170
IT VERY CLEAR, PHILIPPIANS 2:12.
00:55:31.190 --> 00:55:34.210
"WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION WITH FEAR AND
00:55:34.230 --> 00:55:37.210
TREMBLING, NOT IN YOUR OWN STRENGTH, FOR IT IS
00:55:37.230 --> 00:55:40.070
GOD WHO IS ALL THE WHILE AT WORK IN YOU." SO IT
00:55:40.090 --> 00:55:43.290
DOESN'T SAY WORK FOR YOUR SALVATION.
00:55:44.010 --> 00:55:45.260
THERE'S A FREE GIFT.
00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:47.190
SO GOD DOWNLOADS, AT OUR SALVATION, EVERYTHING
00:55:47.210 --> 00:55:51.060
INTO OUR SPIRIT THAT WE NEED TO LIVE AN AMAZING
00:55:51.080 --> 00:55:54.170
LIFE, BUT IT COMES IN SEED FORM.
00:55:54.190 --> 00:55:57.040
JESUS IS CALLED "THE SEED" CAPITAL S, OF GOD.
00:55:57.060 --> 00:56:02.290
SO IT'S LIKE YOU BECOME PREGNANT WITH GODLINESS
00:56:03.010 --> 00:56:07.070
WHEN YOU'RE BORN-AGAIN, BUT YOU HAVE TO
00:56:07.090 --> 00:56:10.210
CARRY THOSE SEEDS.
00:56:10.230 --> 00:56:13.150
YOU WATER THEM WITH THE WORD.
00:56:13.170 --> 00:56:15.070
YOU LET GOD GET THE WEEDS OUT OF YOUR LIFE, AND WE
00:56:15.090 --> 00:56:17.230
BECOME LIKE HIS GARDEN, AND HE'S THE CHIEF GARDENER.
00:56:17.250 --> 00:56:21.170
SO YOU LET HIM DO THAT, AND YOU WORK THAT OUT.
00:56:21.190 --> 00:56:25.240
YOU LET IT BE WORKED FROM IN YOU OUT THROUGH YOUR SOUL.
00:56:25.260 --> 00:56:30.170
AND THEN EVENTUALLY, THINGS LIKE THIS, LIKE
00:56:30.190 --> 00:56:33.290
WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW, NOW YOU HAVE A CHANGED
00:56:34.010 --> 00:56:38.140
LIFE, AND PEOPLE SEE THAT, AND THEY'RE LIKE, IT HAS TO BE GOD.
00:56:38.160 --> 00:56:42.200
- BEAUTIFUL. - IT HAS TO BE GOD.
00:56:42.220 --> 00:56:44.250
- ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.
00:56:44.270 --> 00:56:46.190
SAME DAY SEED WOULD BE REACHING INTO THE GROUND
00:56:46.210 --> 00:56:48.220
AND PULLING THE SAME SEED OUT.
00:56:48.240 --> 00:56:50.040
- IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
00:56:50.060 --> 00:56:51.160
- IT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE.
00:56:51.180 --> 00:56:53.010
"HEALING FOR THE SOUL OF A WOMAN", AND HEALING THE
00:56:53.030 --> 00:56:57.150
SOUL OF A MAN IS THE BOOK, AND WE'VE BEEN
00:56:57.170 --> 00:57:01.150
