  • 00:04:21.180 --> 00:04:22.382
  • No organ necessary on that point.
  • 00:04:22.448 --> 00:04:26.486
  • On that point. and if you can clear it,
  • 00:04:26.552 --> 00:04:29.155
  • And if you can clear it, you can conquer it.
  • 00:04:29.222 --> 00:04:30.156
  • You can conquer it. you remember i said we
  • 00:04:30.223 --> 00:04:30.957
  • You remember i said we were two years late
  • 00:04:31.024 --> 00:04:33.293
  • Were two years late getting in this building?
  • 00:04:33.359 --> 00:04:34.961
  • Getting in this building? one of the reasons that we were
  • 00:04:35.028 --> 00:04:36.329
  • One of the reasons that we were so far behind getting in
  • 00:04:36.396 --> 00:04:37.930
  • So far behind getting in on this building was because the
  • 00:04:37.997 --> 00:04:39.966
  • On this building was because the environmental protection agency
  • 00:04:40.033 --> 00:04:42.368
  • Environmental protection agency told us that there was
  • 00:04:42.435 --> 00:04:44.170
  • Told us that there was a possibility that a carolina
  • 00:04:44.237 --> 00:04:47.006
  • A possibility that a carolina heel splitter clam was
  • 00:04:47.073 --> 00:04:49.742
  • Heel splitter clam was on the property.
  • 00:04:49.809 --> 00:04:51.611
  • On the property. and they said that this clam,
  • 00:04:51.678 --> 00:04:53.546
  • And they said that this clam, or mussel i think it was,
  • 00:04:53.613 --> 00:04:55.415
  • Or mussel i think it was, but i'm gonna call it a clam
  • 00:04:55.481 --> 00:04:56.382
  • But i'm gonna call it a clam because it sounds better
  • 00:04:56.449 --> 00:04:58.051
  • Because it sounds better what i'm trying to say.
  • 00:04:58.117 --> 00:04:59.952
  • What i'm trying to say. this one little clam kept us
  • 00:05:00.019 --> 00:05:02.588
  • This one little clam kept us from building this whole
  • 00:05:02.655 --> 00:05:03.423
  • From building this whole big church.
  • 00:05:03.489 --> 00:05:05.758
  • Big church. for six months we could
  • 00:05:05.825 --> 00:05:07.860
  • For six months we could not clear the land because
  • 00:05:07.927 --> 00:05:10.463
  • Not clear the land because of a clam.
  • 00:05:10.530 --> 00:05:13.966
  • Of a clam. you realize how many times
  • 00:05:14.033 --> 00:05:15.501
  • You realize how many times a little thing in your life
  • 00:05:15.568 --> 00:05:16.636
  • A little thing in your life keeps you from building?
  • 00:05:16.703 --> 00:05:19.972
  • Keeps you from building? a little thing?
  • 00:05:20.039 --> 00:05:22.675
  • A little thing? one person you don't
  • 00:05:22.742 --> 00:05:23.776
  • One person you don't wanna make mad.
  • 00:05:23.843 --> 00:05:25.578
  • Wanna make mad. one thing you don't wanna
  • 00:05:25.645 --> 00:05:26.679
  • One thing you don't wanna be judged about.
  • 00:05:26.746 --> 00:05:27.914
  • Be judged about. one uncomfortable moment you
  • 00:05:27.980 --> 00:05:29.816
  • One uncomfortable moment you don't wanna push through.
  • 00:05:29.882 --> 00:05:30.950
  • Don't wanna push through. one phone call you
  • 00:05:31.017 --> 00:05:32.218
  • One phone call you don't wanna make.
  • 00:05:32.285 --> 00:05:32.919
  • Don't wanna make. so you're just gonna
  • 00:05:32.985 --> 00:05:33.720
  • So you're just gonna let dread eat you up
  • 00:05:33.786 --> 00:05:34.921
  • Let dread eat you up like cancer for six months
  • 00:05:34.987 --> 00:05:37.590
  • Like cancer for six months because of a clam?
  • 00:05:37.657 --> 00:05:39.659
  • Because of a clam? the devil doesn't even
  • 00:05:39.726 --> 00:05:40.393
  • The devil doesn't even really have to put a clam
  • 00:05:40.460 --> 00:05:41.561
  • Really have to put a clam on your land.
  • 00:05:41.627 --> 00:05:42.462
  • On your land. he can just tell you there
  • 00:05:42.528 --> 00:05:43.463
  • He can just tell you there may be a clam,
  • 00:05:43.529 --> 00:05:44.497
  • May be a clam, they may laugh at you,
  • 00:05:44.564 --> 00:05:45.598
  • They may laugh at you, it may not work,
  • 00:05:45.665 --> 00:05:46.766
  • It may not work, you may look stupid,
  • 00:05:46.833 --> 00:05:47.934
  • You may look stupid, this may backfire,
  • 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:49.502
  • This may backfire, your kid may end up,
  • 00:05:49.569 --> 00:05:50.536
  • Your kid may end up, your mom may --
  • 00:05:50.603 --> 00:05:51.371
  • Your mom may -- it's not even there,
  • 00:05:51.437 --> 00:05:52.805
  • It's not even there, but you're not building.
  • 00:05:52.872 --> 00:05:55.641
  • But you're not building. and so we get to the heart
  • 00:05:55.708 --> 00:05:56.576
  • And so we get to the heart of the issue at this moment
  • 00:05:56.642 --> 00:05:58.044
  • Of the issue at this moment in the text where the tribes
  • 00:05:58.111 --> 00:06:00.246
  • In the text where the tribes of ephraim and manasseh,
  • 00:06:00.313 --> 00:06:03.349
  • Of ephraim and manasseh, ephraim and manasseh.
  • 00:06:03.416 --> 00:06:05.885
  • Ephraim and manasseh. let's look at the moment
  • 00:06:05.952 --> 00:06:07.053
  • Let's look at the moment that these boys were born.
  • 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:08.221
  • That these boys were born. now remember, just to be clear,
  • 00:06:08.287 --> 00:06:11.824
  • Now remember, just to be clear, it's been generations since
  • 00:06:11.891 --> 00:06:15.161
  • It's been generations since ephraim and manasseh
  • 00:06:15.228 --> 00:06:16.129
  • Ephraim and manasseh were born to joseph.
  • 00:06:16.195 --> 00:06:18.097
  • Were born to joseph. so these people
  • 00:06:18.164 --> 00:06:18.965
  • So these people didn't know joseph,
  • 00:06:19.031 --> 00:06:20.133
  • Didn't know joseph, they were joseph's
  • 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:21.134
  • They were joseph's great, great, great, great,
  • 00:06:21.200 --> 00:06:22.535
  • Great, great, great, great, great great, great,

  • Great great, great, great, grandchildren,
  • 00:06:23.569 --> 00:06:24.570
  • Great, grandchildren, and ephraim and manasseh
  • 00:06:24.637 --> 00:06:25.571
  • And ephraim and manasseh were his children.
  • 00:06:25.638 --> 00:06:26.339
  • Were his children. now look in genesis 41:50.
  • 00:06:26.406 --> 00:06:30.643
  • It's going back in time to when
  • 00:06:30.743 --> 00:06:32.779
  • It's going back in time to when joseph was in egypt and he was
  • 00:06:32.845 --> 00:06:35.014
  • Joseph was in egypt and he was starting to serve
  • 00:06:35.081 --> 00:06:36.115

  • 00:09:07.833 --> 00:09:09.001
  • Of south africa. but it's named because
  • 00:09:09.068 --> 00:09:10.469
  • But it's named because a group of people collectively
  • 00:09:10.536 --> 00:09:12.338
  • A group of people collectively were documented as remembering
  • 00:09:12.405 --> 00:09:14.740
  • Were documented as remembering nelson mandela dying
  • 00:09:14.807 --> 00:09:16.142
  • Nelson mandela dying in the 1980s.
  • 00:09:16.208 --> 00:09:17.176
  • In the 1980s. so check this out.
  • 00:09:17.243 --> 00:09:18.210
  • So check this out. a woman did research
  • 00:09:18.277 --> 00:09:19.812
  • A woman did research and she found out that there
  • 00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:20.846
  • And she found out that there were large groups of people
  • 00:09:20.913 --> 00:09:22.481
  • Were large groups of people in the thousands
  • 00:09:22.548 --> 00:09:23.749
  • In the thousands who remembered nelson mandela
  • 00:09:23.816 --> 00:09:26.385
  • Dying in prison in the 1980s.
  • 00:09:26.485 --> 00:09:29.589
  • Dying in prison in the 1980s. the problem with that was he
  • 00:09:29.655 --> 00:09:31.023
  • The problem with that was he didn't die until the year 2013,
  • 00:09:31.090 --> 00:09:34.594
  • Didn't die until the year 2013, but they remembered
  • 00:09:34.660 --> 00:09:35.361
  • But they remembered it as if he did.
  • 00:09:35.428 --> 00:09:37.530
  • It as if he did. they remembered somehow some
  • 00:09:37.597 --> 00:09:38.998
  • They remembered somehow some fragmented misinformation
  • 00:09:39.065 --> 00:09:41.067
  • And they remembered
  • 00:09:41.167 --> 00:09:42.101
  • And they remembered nelson mandela died
  • 00:09:42.168 --> 00:09:43.135
  • Nelson mandela died in prison in the 80s.
  • 00:09:43.202 --> 00:09:44.437
  • In prison in the 80s. there were so many people
  • 00:09:44.503 --> 00:09:46.138
  • There were so many people who remembered that wrong
  • 00:09:46.205 --> 00:09:48.174
  • Who remembered that wrong that they named an entire
  • 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:49.875
  • That they named an entire phenomenon, psychologically,
  • 00:09:49.942 --> 00:09:51.711
  • Phenomenon, psychologically, "the mandela effect."
  • 00:09:51.777 --> 00:09:53.646
  • "the mandela effect." and now the phrase
  • 00:09:53.713 --> 00:09:55.081
  • And now the phrase the mandela effect is used
  • 00:09:55.147 --> 00:09:56.215
  • The mandela effect is used to describe many things,
  • 00:09:56.282 --> 00:09:57.783
  • To describe many things, some not as significant
  • 00:09:57.850 --> 00:09:59.185
  • Some not as significant as the death of a leader.
  • 00:09:59.251 --> 00:10:00.720
  • As the death of a leader. for instance,
  • 00:10:00.786 --> 00:10:02.555
  • For instance, how many of you remember
  • 00:10:02.622 --> 00:10:03.356
  • How many of you remember the line from the movie
  • 00:10:03.422 --> 00:10:04.957
  • The line from the movie star wars when darth vader
  • 00:10:05.024 --> 00:10:07.226
  • Star wars when darth vader revealed his real identity?
  • 00:10:07.293 --> 00:10:09.795
  • Revealed his real identity? what did he say?
  • 00:10:09.862 --> 00:10:12.465
  • What did he say? what did he say?
  • 00:10:12.531 --> 00:10:14.266
  • What did he say? now thousands of you remember,
  • 00:10:14.333 --> 00:10:16.102
  • Now thousands of you remember, "luke, i am your father."
  • 00:10:16.168 --> 00:10:18.871
  • "luke, i am your father." but if you check the dvd,
  • 00:10:18.938 --> 00:10:20.940
  • But if you check the dvd, old school,
  • 00:10:21.007 --> 00:10:21.741
  • Old school, if you check the movie
  • 00:10:21.807 --> 00:10:24.010
  • If you check the movie he doesn't say,
  • 00:10:24.076 --> 00:10:24.644
  • He doesn't say, "luke, i am your father."
  • 00:10:24.710 --> 00:10:26.178
  • "luke, i am your father." he says, "no, i am your father."
  • 00:10:26.245 --> 00:10:28.214
  • He says, "no, i am your father." that freaked me out
  • 00:10:28.280 --> 00:10:29.081
  • That freaked me out when i heard that.
  • 00:10:29.148 --> 00:10:30.049
  • When i heard that. i thought, all these years
  • 00:10:30.116 --> 00:10:31.283
  • I thought, all these years i thought he said,
  • 00:10:31.350 --> 00:10:32.084
  • I thought he said, "luke, i am your father."
  • 00:10:32.151 --> 00:10:33.953
  • "luke, i am your father." he didn't say luke.
  • 00:10:34.020 --> 00:10:34.787
  • He didn't say luke. he said no.
  • 00:10:34.854 --> 00:10:35.521
  • He said no. how did i remember it so
  • 00:10:35.588 --> 00:10:36.922
  • How did i remember it so different than
  • 00:10:36.989 --> 00:10:37.923
  • Different than it actually happened?
  • 00:10:37.990 --> 00:10:39.025
  • It actually happened? it's the mandela effect.
  • 00:10:39.091 --> 00:10:40.526
  • It's the mandela effect. or the peanut butter
  • 00:10:40.593 --> 00:10:41.661

  • It wasn't jiffy, it never has been jiffy.
  • 00:10:55.408 --> 00:10:57.376
  • It never has been jiffy. somebody just called it jiffy
  • 00:10:57.443 --> 00:10:58.944

  • Now, the manasseh effect
  • 00:11:16.262 --> 00:11:18.998
  • Now, the manasseh effect is when you've been
  • 00:11:19.065 --> 00:11:19.765
  • Is when you've been through hell,
  • 00:11:19.832 --> 00:11:21.167
  • Through hell, and you've gone through
  • 00:11:21.233 --> 00:11:22.101
  • And you've gone through some trouble,
  • 00:11:22.168 --> 00:11:23.769
  • Some trouble, and some people have

  • And some people have let you down,
  • 00:11:24.737 --> 00:11:26.072
  • Let you down, and life has put you
  • 00:11:26.138 --> 00:11:27.506
  • And life has put you in a crowded space,
  • 00:11:27.573 --> 00:11:29.341
  • In a crowded space, and you feel like not enough,
  • 00:11:29.408 --> 00:11:31.644
  • And you feel like not enough, and you don't know what's next.
  • 00:11:31.711 --> 00:11:34.346
  • And you don't know what's next. but you decide in your mind
  • 00:11:34.413 --> 00:11:36.749
  • But you decide in your mind i'm gonna remember it different,
  • 00:11:36.816 --> 00:11:39.251
  • I'm gonna remember it different, and rather than focusing
  • 00:11:39.318 --> 00:11:41.253
  • And rather than focusing on how they forgot me
  • 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.055
  • On how they forgot me i'm gonna focus on how
  • 00:11:43.122 --> 00:11:45.357
  • I'm gonna focus on how i have a father who never did,
  • 00:11:45.424 --> 00:11:48.594

  • That we were late, but i choose
  • 00:13:09.975 --> 00:13:10.910
