- I'm asking for a donation
- 00:00:46.469 --> 00:00:47.504
- Of any amount for this book.
- 00:00:47.504 --> 00:00:49.005
- And then we have cds, dvds,
- 00:00:49.005 --> 00:00:50.406
- A usb, and a study guide.
- 00:00:50.406 --> 00:00:53.309
- And like i said, i started this
- 00:00:53.309 --> 00:00:55.211
- A week ago, so i've already
- 00:00:55.278 --> 00:00:56.779
- A week ago, so i've already covered a lot of material. but,
- 00:00:56.846 --> 00:00:59.382
- Covered a lot of material. but, you know, i could just keep
- 00:00:59.449 --> 00:01:00.483
- You know, i could just keep talking about this valuing god,
- 00:01:00.550 --> 00:01:02.619
- Talking about this valuing god, putting the proper value on god
- 00:01:02.685 --> 00:01:05.722
- Putting the proper value on god forever because this is a
- 00:01:05.788 --> 00:01:07.157
- Forever because this is a biggie in my life. i took this
- 00:01:07.223 --> 00:01:09.859
- From romans, chapter 1,
- 00:01:09.926 --> 00:01:11.261
- From romans, chapter 1, verse 21, where it says,
- 00:01:11.327 --> 00:01:12.595
- Verse 21, where it says, because that, when they
- 00:01:12.662 --> 00:01:13.863
- Because that, when they knew god, they glorified
- 00:01:13.930 --> 00:01:16.399
- Knew god, they glorified him not as god. this lists
- 00:01:16.466 --> 00:01:18.868
- Four things you have to do
- 00:01:18.935 --> 00:01:21.604
- Four things you have to do to harden yourself or diminish
- 00:01:21.671 --> 00:01:24.641
- To harden yourself or diminish what god has done in your life.
- 00:01:24.707 --> 00:01:27.377
- What god has done in your life. and the, the sad fact is, most
- 00:01:27.443 --> 00:01:29.312
- And the, the sad fact is, most people, they have an encounter
- 00:01:29.379 --> 00:01:30.713
- People, they have an encounter with god, but over time it seems
- 00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:32.582
- With god, but over time it seems to lose its potency in their
- 00:01:32.649 --> 00:01:34.350
- To lose its potency in their life. it's just the opposite
- 00:01:34.417 --> 00:01:36.486
- Life. it's just the opposite with me. what god did in my life
- 00:01:36.553 --> 00:01:38.388
- With me. what god did in my life 57 years ago is more potent
- 00:01:38.454 --> 00:01:40.490
- 57 years ago is more potent today than it's ever been in my
- 00:01:40.557 --> 00:01:42.592
- Today than it's ever been in my life, and it's because i never
- 00:01:42.659 --> 00:01:45.395
- Life, and it's because i never quit valuing god. the first
- 00:01:45.461 --> 00:01:47.363
- Quit valuing god. the first thing you have to do is quit
- 00:01:47.430 --> 00:01:48.765
- Thing you have to do is quit glorifying god. and the word
- 00:01:48.831 --> 00:01:50.466
- Glorifying god. and the word glorify here means, to render or
- 00:01:50.533 --> 00:01:52.569
- Glorify here means, to render or esteem glorious. the word
- 00:01:52.635 --> 00:01:54.671
- Esteem glorious. the word stee... esteem means to value or
- 00:01:54.737 --> 00:01:57.140
- Stee... esteem means to value or to prize. and this is what i've
- 00:01:57.207 --> 00:01:59.242
- To prize. and this is what i've been talking about for the last
- 00:01:59.309 --> 00:02:00.577
- Been talking about for the last few days, is that when god
- 00:02:00.643 --> 00:02:02.679
- Few days, is that when god touched my life, i just put so
- 00:02:02.745 --> 00:02:04.714
- Touched my life, i just put so much value on god and my
- 00:02:04.781 --> 00:02:07.550
- Much value on god and my relationship with him. i placed
- 00:02:07.617 --> 00:02:09.118
- Relationship with him. i placed so much value on the word of god
- 00:02:09.185 --> 00:02:11.721
- So much value on the word of god and what it says about me, that
- 00:02:11.788 --> 00:02:14.090
- And what it says about me, that everything that comes at me,
- 00:02:14.157 --> 00:02:16.392
- Everything that comes at me, it's like i've got this filter,
- 00:02:16.459 --> 00:02:18.561
- It's like i've got this filter, and if it doesn't fit the word
- 00:02:18.628 --> 00:02:20.997
- And if it doesn't fit the word of god, it doesn't get to me.
- 00:02:21.064 --> 00:02:23.266
- Of god, it doesn't get to me. the word of god is just a
- 00:02:23.333 --> 00:02:24.667
- The word of god is just a filter. and one of those things
- 00:02:24.734 --> 00:02:26.436
- Filter. and one of those things is you rejoice in the lord
- 00:02:26.502 --> 00:02:28.471
- Is you rejoice in the lord always. you let your requests be
- 00:02:28.538 --> 00:02:30.740
- Always. you let your requests be nade... made known unto god with
- 00:02:30.807 --> 00:02:32.408
- Nade... made known unto god with thanksgiving. that in the world
- 00:02:32.475 --> 00:02:34.711
- Thanksgiving. that in the world i'm going to have tribulation,
- 00:02:34.777 --> 00:02:35.979
- I'm going to have tribulation, but i am going to be of good
- 00:02:36.045 --> 00:02:37.547
- But i am going to be of good cheer. i am not going to let my
- 00:02:37.614 --> 00:02:39.749
- Cheer. i am not going to let my heart be troubled, john, chapter
- 00:02:39.816 --> 00:02:41.517
- Heart be troubled, john, chapter 14, verse 1. it's a command. you
- 00:02:41.584 --> 00:02:44.687
- 14, verse 1. it's a command. you know, i remember on my grace &
- 00:02:44.754 --> 00:02:46.422
- Faith today program, i was
- 00:02:46.990 --> 00:02:50.226
- Interviewing paul milligan, who
- 00:02:50.226 --> 00:02:52.362
- Was my ceo of my ministry. he's
- 00:02:52.362 --> 00:02:54.497
- Been on my board for like 30
- 00:02:54.497 --> 00:02:55.999
- Years, but he was the ceo
- 00:02:55.999 --> 00:02:58.401
- Of my ministry from 2014
- 00:02:58.401 --> 00:03:00.737
- Through 2020. and anyway,
- 00:03:00.737 --> 00:03:04.040
- He started 16 corporations.
- 00:03:04.107 --> 00:03:06.175
- He started 16 corporations. and the way that he ran
- 00:03:06.242 --> 00:03:07.477
- And the way that he ran his corporations, he usually
- 00:03:07.543 --> 00:03:09.245
- His corporations, he usually had anywhere from 1 to 2
- 00:03:09.312 --> 00:03:11.247
- Had anywhere from 1 to 2 years' worth of income set aside
- 00:03:11.314 --> 00:03:15.485
- Years' worth of income set aside as a buffer in case anything
- 00:03:15.551 --> 00:03:17.553
- As a buffer in case anything happened. and he was in a
- 00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:19.522
- Happened. and he was in a finance meeting with a bunch of
- 00:03:19.589 --> 00:03:21.224
- Finance meeting with a bunch of my accountants and things like
- 00:03:21.291 --> 00:03:22.792
- My accountants and things like this, and they were just telling
- 00:03:22.859 --> 00:03:24.827
- This, and they were just telling him, that man, we are nearly
- 00:03:24.894 --> 00:03:26.863
- Him, that man, we are nearly broke. you've got to get andrew
- 00:03:26.929 --> 00:03:29.198
- Broke. you've got to get andrew to recognize how desperate the
- 00:03:29.265 --> 00:03:31.134
- To recognize how desperate the situation is. and so he was
- 00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:33.102
- Situation is. and so he was telling this just last week, i
- 00:03:33.169 --> 00:03:34.804
- Telling this just last week, i interviewed him and it brought
- 00:03:34.871 --> 00:03:36.039
- Interviewed him and it brought it back to my memory. but... so
- 00:03:36.105 --> 00:03:38.207
- It back to my memory. but... so anyway, he came from that
- 00:03:38.274 --> 00:03:39.175
- Anyway, he came from that finance meeting, he came in and
- 00:03:39.242 --> 00:03:41.978
- Finance meeting, he came in and told me. and he had all of his
- 00:03:42.045 --> 00:03:43.713
- Told me. and he had all of his charts and he had figured this
- 00:03:43.780 --> 00:03:45.114
- Charts and he had figured this stuff out, and he thought that
- 00:03:45.181 --> 00:03:46.182
- Stuff out, and he thought that this would finally get me to
- 00:03:46.249 --> 00:03:48.451
- This would finally get me to come down to earth and, and deal
- 00:03:48.518 --> 00:03:50.887
- Come down to earth and, and deal with reality. and he walked in
- 00:03:50.953 --> 00:03:53.222
- With reality. and he walked in and he said, andrew, we've got
- 00:03:53.289 --> 00:03:55.158
- And he said, andrew, we've got 12 hours of working capital. and
- 00:03:55.224 --> 00:03:59.028
- 12 hours of working capital. and again, in his businesses, he had
- 00:03:59.095 --> 00:04:01.130
- Again, in his businesses, he had two years of working capital. so
- 00:04:01.197 --> 00:04:03.733
- Two years of working capital. so he came in and he says we've got
- 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:05.068
- He came in and he says we've got 12 hours of working capital. and
- 00:04:05.134 --> 00:04:08.004
- 12 hours of working capital. and you know what? i just said,
- 00:04:08.071 --> 00:04:08.905
- You know what? i just said, praise god, we've got 12 hours.
- 00:04:08.971 --> 00:04:10.773
- Praise god, we've got 12 hours. we aren't broke yet. we hadn't
- 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.408
- We aren't broke yet. we hadn't missed any bills, have we? and
- 00:04:12.475 --> 00:04:15.478
- Missed any bills, have we? and he said that he just turned
- 00:04:15.545 --> 00:04:16.779
- He said that he just turned around and went back and told
- 00:04:16.846 --> 00:04:18.047
- Around and went back and told the guys in that finance meeting
- 00:04:18.114 --> 00:04:19.515
- The guys in that finance meeting that this is what he said. and
- 00:04:19.582 --> 00:04:20.783
- That this is what he said. and they said, how do you deal with
- 00:04:20.850 --> 00:04:21.884
- They said, how do you deal with something like that? now, i'm
- 00:04:21.951 --> 00:04:23.519
- Something like that? now, i'm not saying that i'm the greatest
- 00:04:23.586 --> 00:04:25.388
- Not saying that i'm the greatest businessman. i might should be
- 00:04:25.455 --> 00:04:27.724
- Businessman. i might should be doing things a little better,
- 00:04:27.790 --> 00:04:28.791
- Doing things a little better, but i did not let it get to me
- 00:04:28.858 --> 00:04:32.061
- But i did not let it get to me that we were only 12 hours away
- 00:04:32.128 --> 00:04:33.930
- That we were only 12 hours away from being absolutely broke. and
- 00:04:33.996 --> 00:04:35.598
- From being absolutely broke. and you know what? that was back in
- 00:04:35.665 --> 00:04:36.833
- You know what? that was back in 2014, i think. and so here we
- 00:04:36.899 --> 00:04:39.435
- 2014, i think. and so here we are over ten years later and,
- 00:04:39.502 --> 00:04:41.204
- Are over ten years later and, praise god, we're still going
- 00:04:41.270 --> 00:04:42.872
- Praise god, we're still going and blowing, and god's taken
- 00:04:42.939 --> 00:04:44.841
- And blowing, and god's taken care of us. i just don't let
- 00:04:44.907 --> 00:04:47.477
- Care of us. i just don't let anything steal my joy. i use the
- 00:04:47.543 --> 00:04:50.513
- Anything steal my joy. i use the word of god and god's promises
- 00:04:50.580 --> 00:04:52.181
- Word of god and god's promises to me. god promised that i'm a
- 00:04:52.248 --> 00:04:54.417
- To me. god promised that i'm a overcomer, that no weapon that
- 00:04:54.484 --> 00:04:56.285
- Overcomer, that no weapon that is formed against me is going to
- 00:04:56.352 --> 00:04:57.720
- Is formed against me is going to prosper. and so, i've had the
- 00:04:57.787 --> 00:04:59.522
- Prosper. and so, i've had the city come out against me. i've
- 00:04:59.589 --> 00:05:01.023
- City come out against me. i've had the city say, you can't do
- 00:05:01.090 --> 00:05:02.658
- Had the city say, you can't do this. the city s... said they
- 00:05:02.725 --> 00:05:04.227
- This. the city s... said they were going to close us down;
- 00:05:04.293 --> 00:05:06.028
- Were going to close us down; they were going to bankrupt us.
- 00:05:06.095 --> 00:05:07.463
- They were going to bankrupt us. they, they have come out against
- 00:05:07.530 --> 00:05:09.332
- They, they have come out against us, and you know what, we're
- 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:10.666
- Us, and you know what, we're winning. they're losing. amen.
- 00:05:10.733 --> 00:05:14.003
- Winning. they're losing. amen. and i just don't let things
- 00:05:14.070 --> 00:05:16.139
- And i just don't let things bother me. now, am i saying i do
- 00:05:16.205 --> 00:05:18.207
- Bother me. now, am i saying i do it perfectly? there's times that
- 00:05:18.274 --> 00:05:20.410
- It perfectly? there's times that i feel the pressure, but when i
- 00:05:20.476 --> 00:05:22.412
- I feel the pressure, but when i feel the pressure, i don't let
- 00:05:22.478 --> 00:05:24.580
- Feel the pressure, i don't let it get to me. i don't let it go
- 00:05:24.647 --> 00:05:26.783
- It get to me. i don't let it go for days or weeks or something
- 00:05:26.849 --> 00:05:28.918
- For days or weeks or something like that. i'll deal with
- 00:05:28.985 --> 00:05:30.119
- Like that. i'll deal with something, and man, i'll go to
- 00:05:30.186 --> 00:05:31.454
- Something, and man, i'll go to prayer, i'll go to the word, and
- 00:05:31.521 --> 00:05:33.022
- Prayer, i'll go to the word, and in an hour or two i'm back
- 00:05:33.089 --> 00:05:34.924
- In an hour or two i'm back exactly where i need to be. i
- 00:05:34.991 --> 00:05:36.993
- Exactly where i need to be. i refuse to devalue what god has
- 00:05:37.059 --> 00:05:40.062
- Refuse to devalue what god has told me based on what people
- 00:05:40.129 --> 00:05:42.799
- Told me based on what people say, based on what circumstances
- 00:05:42.865 --> 00:05:44.934
- Say, based on what circumstances say, based on what my body feels
- 00:05:45.001 --> 00:05:47.937
- Say, based on what my body feels or anything. you know, i had a

- Or anything. you know, i had a cancer on my ear for nearly six
- 00:05:49.972 --> 00:05:51.941
- Cancer on my ear for nearly six years, and other, other people
- 00:05:52.008 --> 00:05:53.376
- Years, and other, other people were bummed out and really
- 00:05:53.443 --> 00:05:55.945
- Were bummed out and really bothered by it, but it didn't
- 00:05:56.012 --> 00:05:57.713
- Bothered by it, but it didn't bother me. i refused to let that
- 00:05:57.780 --> 00:05:59.649
- Bother me. i refused to let that thing bother me, and i prayed
- 00:05:59.715 --> 00:06:01.384
- Thing bother me, and i prayed about it and i dealt with it,
- 00:06:01.451 --> 00:06:02.618
- About it and i dealt with it, and praise god i'm over it. but
- 00:06:02.685 --> 00:06:05.121
- And praise god i'm over it. but i'm saying, i... it's not like
- 00:06:05.188 --> 00:06:06.856
- I'm saying, i... it's not like i'm, i'm immune to anything.
- 00:06:06.923 --> 00:06:09.859
- I'm, i'm immune to anything. things come at me, but i
- 00:06:09.926 --> 00:06:11.461
- Things come at me, but i overcome those things. you know,
- 00:06:11.527 --> 00:06:13.663
- Overcome those things. you know, i had a sickness come on me one
- 00:06:13.729 --> 00:06:15.298
- I had a sickness come on me one time while i was making radio.
- 00:06:15.364 --> 00:06:16.632
- Time while i was making radio. this is back before i was on tv,
- 00:06:16.699 --> 00:06:18.935
- This is back before i was on tv, so it would have been back in
- 00:06:19.001 --> 00:06:20.002
- So it would have been back in the 1990s. and i remember
- 00:06:20.069 --> 00:06:23.506
- The 1990s. and i remember starting to make radio programs.
- 00:06:23.573 --> 00:06:25.341
- Starting to make radio programs. i was leaving to go overseas,
- 00:06:25.408 --> 00:06:26.776
- I was leaving to go overseas, and so i was going to stay up
- 00:06:26.843 --> 00:06:27.877
- And so i was going to stay up all night making radio programs.
- 00:06:27.944 --> 00:06:30.346
- All night making radio programs. and in the middle of the night
- 00:06:30.413 --> 00:06:31.514
- And in the middle of the night by myself, i just had something
- 00:06:31.581 --> 00:06:33.783
- By myself, i just had something hit me. i started having aches
- 00:06:33.850 --> 00:06:35.151
- Hit me. i started having aches and pains. my nose was running,
- 00:06:35.218 --> 00:06:36.919
- And pains. my nose was running, my head was hurting. i guess it
- 00:06:36.986 --> 00:06:39.021
- My head was hurting. i guess it was the flu or something like
- 00:06:39.088 --> 00:06:40.456
- Was the flu or something like that. and i had it attack me.
- 00:06:40.523 --> 00:06:43.059
- That. and i had it attack me. but you know what? i immediately
- 00:06:43.125 --> 00:06:44.494
- But you know what? i immediately stopped and started praying in
- 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:45.661
- Stopped and started praying in tongues, and within an hour i
- 00:06:45.728 --> 00:06:47.029
- Tongues, and within an hour i was completely over it. so i
- 00:06:47.096 --> 00:06:48.965
- Was completely over it. so i have things happen to me, but i
- 00:06:49.031 --> 00:06:50.700
- Have things happen to me, but i know what to do when it happens
- 00:06:50.766 --> 00:06:53.035
- Know what to do when it happens and i am not going to let me...
- 00:06:53.102 --> 00:06:54.737
- And i am not going to let me... i'm not going to put more value
- 00:06:54.804 --> 00:06:56.539
- I'm not going to put more value on what my body feels than what
- 00:06:56.606 --> 00:06:58.674
- On what my body feels than what god's word has to say. i'm going
- 00:06:58.741 --> 00:07:00.943
- God's word has to say. i'm going to keep god's word up here, that
- 00:07:01.010 --> 00:07:02.512
- To keep god's word up here, that by his stripes i'm healed. i
- 00:07:02.578 --> 00:07:03.880
- By his stripes i'm healed. i don't care what it looks like,
- 00:07:03.946 --> 00:07:05.214
- Don't care what it looks like, tastes like, feels like. i don't
- 00:07:05.281 --> 00:07:07.283
- Tastes like, feels like. i don't care what other people are
- 00:07:07.350 --> 00:07:08.751
- Care what other people are obsessing over. things like
- 00:07:08.818 --> 00:07:10.887
- Obsessing over. things like that. and again, i know lots of
- 00:07:10.953 --> 00:07:13.089
- That. and again, i know lots of people think i'm weird, but i
- 00:07:13.155 --> 00:07:14.624
- People think i'm weird, but i think you're weird to have the
- 00:07:14.690 --> 00:07:16.726
- Think you're weird to have the power of god living on the
- 00:07:16.792 --> 00:07:18.761
- Power of god living on the inside of us and yet be bummed
- 00:07:18.828 --> 00:07:21.531
- Inside of us and yet be bummed out, discouraged, fearful,
- 00:07:21.597 --> 00:07:23.332
- Out, discouraged, fearful, worried about things when god
- 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:25.401
- Worried about things when god has promised that he's going to
- 00:07:25.468 --> 00:07:26.602
- Has promised that he's going to make all things work together
- 00:07:26.669 --> 00:07:28.204
- Make all things work together for good if you love him, if
- 00:07:28.271 --> 00:07:30.473
- For good if you love him, if you're called according to his
- 00:07:30.540 --> 00:07:31.741
- You're called according to his purpose. he can work it together
- 00:07:31.807 --> 00:07:34.710
- Purpose. he can work it together for good. you know, i gave my
- 00:07:34.777 --> 00:07:37.446
- For good. you know, i gave my testimony last friday about
- 00:07:37.513 --> 00:07:39.181
- Testimony last friday about going to vietnam, and even
- 00:07:39.248 --> 00:07:40.516
- Going to vietnam, and even though vietnam was a dangerous
- 00:07:40.583 --> 00:07:42.084
- Though vietnam was a dangerous place and there was terrible
- 00:07:42.151 --> 00:07:43.185
- Place and there was terrible things happening, i look back on
- 00:07:43.252 --> 00:07:45.254
- Things happening, i look back on that and i am so thankful. god
- 00:07:45.321 --> 00:07:47.223
- That and i am so thankful. god did so many wonderful things. he
- 00:07:47.290 --> 00:07:48.925
- Did so many wonderful things. he worked that together for good to
- 00:07:48.991 --> 00:07:51.928
- Worked that together for good to me. i came out of vietnam a much
- 00:07:51.994 --> 00:07:55.131
- Me. i came out of vietnam a much more mature person than when i
- 00:07:55.197 --> 00:07:56.599
- More mature person than when i went in there. i mean, it
- 00:07:56.666 --> 00:07:58.568
- Went in there. i mean, it changed. and i can look back at
- 00:07:58.634 --> 00:07:59.902
- Changed. and i can look back at hardship. i'm not saying that
- 00:07:59.969 --> 00:08:01.170
- Hardship. i'm not saying that god caused any of the hardships,
- 00:08:01.237 --> 00:08:03.839
- God caused any of the hardships, but i am saying that i have
- 00:08:03.906 --> 00:08:05.207
- But i am saying that i have grown because i've taken the
- 00:08:05.274 --> 00:08:06.676
- Grown because i've taken the word of god and applied it. and
- 00:08:06.742 --> 00:08:08.444
- Word of god and applied it. and so i just have this mindset that
- 00:08:08.511 --> 00:08:10.313
- So i just have this mindset that i've developed by studying god's
- 00:08:10.379 --> 00:08:12.181
- I've developed by studying god's word, that i am not going to let
- 00:08:12.248 --> 00:08:14.784
- Word, that i am not going to let anything come between me and
- 00:08:14.850 --> 00:08:17.320
- Anything come between me and what god has done in my life.
- 00:08:17.386 --> 00:08:19.455
- What god has done in my life. let me use this passage out of
- 00:08:19.522 --> 00:08:20.823
- Hebrews, chapter 12, and verse
- 00:08:20.890 --> 00:08:23.092
- Hebrews, chapter 12, and verse 1. it says, wherefore seeing we
- 00:08:23.159 --> 00:08:25.094
- 1. it says, wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so
- 00:08:25.161 --> 00:08:27.330
- Also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let
- 00:08:27.396 --> 00:08:29.532
- Great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and
- 00:08:29.599 --> 00:08:31.067
- Us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily
- 00:08:31.133 --> 00:08:32.602
- The sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with
- 00:08:32.668 --> 00:08:34.670
- Beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set
- 00:08:34.737 --> 00:08:36.806
- Patience the race that is set before us. and look at this in
- 00:08:36.872 --> 00:08:37.873
- Before us. and look at this in verse 2. it says, looking unto
- 00:08:37.940 --> 00:08:39.709
- Verse 2. it says, looking unto jesus the author and the
- 00:08:39.775 --> 00:08:41.744
- Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith; who for
- 00:08:41.811 --> 00:08:44.113
- Finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him
- 00:08:44.180 --> 00:08:47.183
- The joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the
- 00:08:47.249 --> 00:08:50.620
- Endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the
- 00:08:50.686 --> 00:08:52.722
- Shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of god.
- 00:08:52.788 --> 00:08:55.391
- Did you know that the word right
- 00:08:55.458 --> 00:08:56.692
- Did you know that the word right here that was translated
- 00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:57.827
- Here that was translated despising in the king james,
- 00:08:57.893 --> 00:09:00.262
- Despising in the king james, it's a word that means to
- 00:09:00.329 --> 00:09:02.098
- It's a word that means to disesteem. now, if you've been
- 00:09:02.164 --> 00:09:04.600
- Disesteem. now, if you've been paying attention, if you've
- 00:09:04.667 --> 00:09:05.601
- Paying attention, if you've heard what i've said, romans
- 00:09:05.668 --> 00:09:07.570
- Heard what i've said, romans 1:21, the very first thing
- 00:09:07.637 --> 00:09:09.639
- 1:21, the very first thing you've got to do to keep
- 00:09:09.705 --> 00:09:10.940
- You've got to do to keep whatever god has given you or
- 00:09:11.007 --> 00:09:12.742
- Whatever god has given you or done in your life current, and
- 00:09:12.808 --> 00:09:15.244
- Done in your life current, and at that same level, and even
- 00:09:15.311 --> 00:09:16.846
- At that same level, and even growing, is you have to esteem
- 00:09:16.912 --> 00:09:19.582
- Growing, is you have to esteem god properly. but what did jesus
- 00:09:19.649 --> 00:09:22.618
- God properly. but what did jesus do when he came to the cross? he
- 00:09:22.685 --> 00:09:24.420
- Do when he came to the cross? he disesteemed. in other words, you
- 00:09:24.487 --> 00:09:27.623
- Disesteemed. in other words, you place value on everything, and
- 00:09:27.690 --> 00:09:29.525
- Place value on everything, and jesus devalued all of the
- 00:09:29.592 --> 00:09:32.428
- Jesus devalued all of the suffering, the pain. becoming
- 00:09:32.495 --> 00:09:35.665
- Suffering, the pain. becoming sin, he disesteemed. that's
- 00:09:35.731 --> 00:09:38.034
- Sin, he disesteemed. that's what it says right here.
- 00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:39.602
- It says, in verse 2, looking
- 00:09:39.669 --> 00:09:41.437
- It says, in verse 2, looking unto jesus the author
- 00:09:41.504 --> 00:09:42.538
- Unto jesus the author and the finisher of our
- 00:09:42.605 --> 00:09:43.572
- And the finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was
- 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:45.675
- Faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the
- 00:09:45.741 --> 00:09:47.743
- Set before him endured the cross, despising the shame. what
- 00:09:47.810 --> 00:09:50.813
- Joy was set before jesus when he
- 00:09:50.880 --> 00:09:52.948
- Joy was set before jesus when he got crucified? you know what it
- 00:09:53.015 --> 00:09:55.351
- Got crucified? you know what it was? he looked past the cross
- 00:09:55.418 --> 00:09:58.521
- Was? he looked past the cross and he saw the resurrection, and
- 00:09:58.587 --> 00:10:01.090
- And he saw the resurrection, and he saw that someday i was going
- 00:10:01.157 --> 00:10:04.026
- He saw that someday i was going to accept him as my savior and
- 00:10:04.093 --> 00:10:06.796
- To accept him as my savior and that he was going to love me and
- 00:10:06.862 --> 00:10:08.631
- That he was going to love me and that he would change my life.
- 00:10:08.698 --> 00:10:10.900
- That he would change my life. and he saw you, and he saw every
- 00:10:10.966 --> 00:10:13.569
- And he saw you, and he saw every person who would ever be blessed
- 00:10:13.636 --> 00:10:16.572
- Person who would ever be blessed and set free, redeemed from
- 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:18.974
- And set free, redeemed from hell, redeemed from sickness,
- 00:10:19.041 --> 00:10:20.409
- Hell, redeemed from sickness, poverty, depression. he saw you
- 00:10:20.476 --> 00:10:22.912
- Poverty, depression. he saw you and i and what was going to
- 00:10:22.978 --> 00:10:24.780
- And i and what was going to happen. that's the joy, and
- 00:10:24.847 --> 00:10:26.782
- Happen. that's the joy, and that's what he focused on, and
- 00:10:26.849 --> 00:10:28.784
- That's what he focused on, and he disesteemed. again, i go back
- 00:10:28.851 --> 00:10:31.153
- He disesteemed. again, i go back to this illustration of like a
- 00:10:31.220 --> 00:10:32.555
- To this illustration of like a seesaw or a tee...
- 00:10:32.621 --> 00:10:33.789
- Seesaw or a tee... teeter-totter. if you are
- 00:10:33.856 --> 00:10:35.291
- Teeter-totter. if you are glorifying god and esteeming
- 00:10:35.357 --> 00:10:37.393
- Glorifying god and esteeming what he's doing, then everything
- 00:10:37.460 --> 00:10:39.028
- What he's doing, then everything else in relation has to be way
- 00:10:39.095 --> 00:10:40.663
- Else in relation has to be way down here. if he would have
- 00:10:40.730 --> 00:10:42.264
- Down here. if he would have esteemed the suffering, if he
- 00:10:42.331 --> 00:10:44.800
- Esteemed the suffering, if he would have valued, if he would
- 00:10:44.867 --> 00:10:46.135
- Would have valued, if he would have put his focus and attention
- 00:10:46.202 --> 00:10:48.104
- Have put his focus and attention on that, it would have
- 00:10:48.170 --> 00:10:49.739
- On that, it would have disesteemed the joy that was set
- 00:10:49.805 --> 00:10:52.608
- Disesteemed the joy that was set before him. he wouldn't... he'd
- 00:10:52.675 --> 00:10:53.976
- Before him. he wouldn't... he'd of lost sight of what was going
- 00:10:54.043 --> 00:10:56.078
- Of lost sight of what was going to happen in our life because of
- 00:10:56.145 --> 00:10:57.913
- To happen in our life because of his suffering, and he would have
- 00:10:57.980 --> 00:10:59.548
- His suffering, and he would have just been focused on his
- 00:10:59.615 --> 00:11:00.750
- Just been focused on his suffering. but he valued you and
- 00:11:00.816 --> 00:11:04.053
- Suffering. but he valued you and me more than he valued his own
- 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:06.088
- Me more than he valued his own life. man. that's awesome. and
- 00:11:06.155 --> 00:11:10.793
- Life. man. that's awesome. and you know what? because of that,
- 00:11:10.860 --> 00:11:12.161
- You know what? because of that, how can i ever let anything that
- 00:11:12.228 --> 00:11:15.264
- How can i ever let anything that the devil or this world, or just
- 00:11:15.331 --> 00:11:17.233
- The devil or this world, or just natural things, how could
- 00:11:17.299 --> 00:11:19.034
- Natural things, how could anything like that ever upset
- 00:11:19.101 --> 00:11:21.737
- Anything like that ever upset me? again, i know that i'm
- 00:11:21.804 --> 00:11:23.472
- Me? again, i know that i'm susceptible. i know i'm capable
- 00:11:23.539 --> 00:11:26.008
- Susceptible. i know i'm capable of being depressed and
- 00:11:26.075 --> 00:11:27.143
- Of being depressed and discouraged. i just don't really
- 00:11:27.209 --> 00:11:28.711
- Discouraged. i just don't really know how to do it because i keep
- 00:11:28.778 --> 00:11:30.780
- Know how to do it because i keep my mind stayed upon god, and i
- 00:11:30.846 --> 00:11:33.048
- My mind stayed upon god, and i am not going to let anything
- 00:11:33.115 --> 00:11:34.750
- Am not going to let anything that any person or anything else
- 00:11:34.817 --> 00:11:36.986
- That any person or anything else ever take my attention away from
- 00:11:37.052 --> 00:11:38.621
- Ever take my attention away from that. and because of it, i've
- 00:11:38.687 --> 00:11:40.489
- That. and because of it, i've had my son die, i've had
- 00:11:40.556 --> 00:11:42.591
- Had my son die, i've had terrible things happen. i've
- 00:11:42.658 --> 00:11:43.893
- Terrible things happen. i've been through financial problems.
- 00:11:43.959 --> 00:11:45.394
- Been through financial problems. i've got people that hate me,
- 00:11:45.461 --> 00:11:47.163
- I've got people that hate me, that are doing everything they
- 00:11:47.229 --> 00:11:48.230
- That are doing everything they can to destroy me and stuff. and
- 00:11:48.297 --> 00:11:50.900
- Can to destroy me and stuff. and yet, i am one happy person. i'm
- 00:11:50.966 --> 00:11:53.269
- Yet, i am one happy person. i'm one happy camper. because i know
- 00:11:53.335 --> 00:11:55.337
- One happy camper. because i know that god loves me. and it really
- 00:11:55.404 --> 00:11:57.439
- That god loves me. and it really doesn't matter what else goes
- 00:11:57.506 --> 00:11:59.308
- Doesn't matter what else goes wrong. you know, i was raised in
- 00:11:59.375 --> 00:12:01.844
- Wrong. you know, i was raised in the baptist church, and now i'm
- 00:12:01.911 --> 00:12:05.714
- The baptist church, and now i'm nearly around charismatic,
- 00:12:05.781 --> 00:12:07.216
- Nearly around charismatic, spirit-filled people all of the
- 00:12:07.283 --> 00:12:08.651
- Spirit-filled people all of the time. but in some ways, the
- 00:12:08.717 --> 00:12:11.120
- Time. but in some ways, the baptists were happier than some
- 00:12:11.187 --> 00:12:14.023
- Baptists were happier than some of the charismatic people that i
- 00:12:14.089 --> 00:12:15.457
- Of the charismatic people that i know because people who have
- 00:12:15.524 --> 00:12:18.460
- Know because people who have been filled with the holy spirit
- 00:12:18.527 --> 00:12:19.862
- Been filled with the holy spirit and now believe that it's god's
- 00:12:19.929 --> 00:12:21.130
- And now believe that it's god's will to heal, deliver, set free,
- 00:12:21.197 --> 00:12:22.932
- Will to heal, deliver, set free, and all of that, they get to
- 00:12:22.998 --> 00:12:23.866
- And all of that, they get to focused on healing, prosperity,
- 00:12:23.933 --> 00:12:26.468
- Focused on healing, prosperity, joy, and things like this. and
- 00:12:26.535 --> 00:12:28.838
- Joy, and things like this. and if everything isn't going right
- 00:12:28.904 --> 00:12:30.372
- If everything isn't going right in their life, then they get to
- 00:12:30.439 --> 00:12:32.408
- In their life, then they get to trying to believe god, and they
- 00:12:32.474 --> 00:12:35.344
- Trying to believe god, and they can become so focused on what
- 00:12:35.411 --> 00:12:36.979
- Can become so focused on what they don't have that they lose
- 00:12:37.046 --> 00:12:39.248
- They don't have that they lose their joy. but in the baptist
- 00:12:39.315 --> 00:12:40.916
- Their joy. but in the baptist church, we didn't believe in
- 00:12:40.983 --> 00:12:42.084
- Church, we didn't believe in anything except getting saved.
- 00:12:42.151 --> 00:12:43.519
- Anything except getting saved. once you got saved, all you did
- 00:12:43.586 --> 00:12:44.954
- Once you got saved, all you did was get stuck. you were just
- 00:12:45.020 --> 00:12:46.722
- Was get stuck. you were just saved and stuck and you were
- 00:12:46.789 --> 00:12:48.157
- Saved and stuck and you were waiting on heaven, and we sang
- 00:12:48.224 --> 00:12:49.758
- Waiting on heaven, and we sang songs about when we all get to
- 00:12:49.825 --> 00:12:51.360
- Songs about when we all get to heaven. but you couldn't walk in
- 00:12:51.427 --> 00:12:52.995
- Heaven. but you couldn't walk in power. you couldn't get free
- 00:12:53.062 --> 00:12:54.763
- Power. you couldn't get free from sickness. you couldn't
- 00:12:54.830 --> 00:12:56.265
- From sickness. you couldn't prosper. there was nothing
- 00:12:56.332 --> 00:12:58.500
- Prosper. there was nothing provided except forgiveness of
- 00:12:58.567 --> 00:13:00.169
- Provided except forgiveness of sins. and again, i know that
- 00:13:00.236 --> 00:13:02.338
- Sins. and again, i know that different baptists believe
- 00:13:02.404 --> 00:13:03.439
- Different baptists believe different things, but the group
- 00:13:03.505 --> 00:13:04.673
- Different things, but the group i was with, that was true. i was
- 00:13:04.740 --> 00:13:06.709
- I was with, that was true. i was told that god's the one that
- 00:13:06.775 --> 00:13:07.910
- Told that god's the one that killed my dad when i was 12
- 00:13:07.977 --> 00:13:09.445
- Killed my dad when i was 12 years old, and that it was god's
- 00:13:09.511 --> 00:13:11.447
- Years old, and that it was god's will for him to be sick and
- 00:13:11.513 --> 00:13:12.882
- Will for him to be sick and stuff, and that's not true. but
- 00:13:12.948 --> 00:13:14.550
- Stuff, and that's not true. but one of the benefits of that is
- 00:13:14.617 --> 00:13:16.085
- One of the benefits of that is that those people didn't believe
- 00:13:16.151 --> 00:13:17.486
- That those people didn't believe in anything, so they just took
- 00:13:17.553 --> 00:13:19.722
- In anything, so they just took whatever came at them and they
- 00:13:19.788 --> 00:13:22.324
- Whatever came at them and they just focused on heaven. and they
- 00:13:22.391 --> 00:13:25.060
- Just focused on heaven. and they kept so focused on heaven that
- 00:13:25.127 --> 00:13:27.329
- Kept so focused on heaven that they were able to go through
- 00:13:27.396 --> 00:13:28.631
- They were able to go through sickness and poverty and stuff
- 00:13:28.697 --> 00:13:30.366
- Sickness and poverty and stuff much better in some instances
- 00:13:30.432 --> 00:13:32.902
- Much better in some instances than spirit-filled people who
- 00:13:32.968 --> 00:13:35.070
- Than spirit-filled people who weren't seeing their, their
- 00:13:35.137 --> 00:13:37.706
- Weren't seeing their, their prayers come to pass and stuff
- 00:13:37.773 --> 00:13:40.142
- Prayers come to pass and stuff like that. and it all goes back
- 00:13:40.209 --> 00:13:41.977
- Like that. and it all goes back again to value. i'm not saying
- 00:13:42.044 --> 00:13:44.546
- Again to value. i'm not saying that we should throw out healing
- 00:13:44.613 --> 00:13:47.149
- That we should throw out healing and deliverance and prosperity
- 00:13:47.216 --> 00:13:48.751
- And deliverance and prosperity and stuff like that, but i am
- 00:13:48.817 --> 00:13:49.818
- And stuff like that, but i am saying that even in the midst of
- 00:13:49.885 --> 00:13:51.287
- Saying that even in the midst of walking through this life, we're
- 00:13:51.353 --> 00:13:53.055
- Walking through this life, we're going to have problems come
- 00:13:53.122 --> 00:13:54.156
- Going to have problems come against us, and we're going to
- 00:13:54.223 --> 00:13:56.325
- Against us, and we're going to have sickness attack us, we will
- 00:13:56.392 --> 00:13:57.993
- Have sickness attack us, we will have people attack us. we will
- 00:13:58.060 --> 00:13:59.561
- Have people attack us. we will have things happen, and you just
- 00:13:59.628 --> 00:14:02.031
- Have things happen, and you just need to get to a place to where
- 00:14:02.097 --> 00:14:03.165
- Need to get to a place to where you value god and you value what
- 00:14:03.232 --> 00:14:05.367
- You value god and you value what you have in him and heaven, and
- 00:14:05.434 --> 00:14:07.069
- You have in him and heaven, and the promise of heaven and all of
- 00:14:07.136 --> 00:14:08.637
- The promise of heaven and all of these things, so that even if
- 00:14:08.704 --> 00:14:09.772
- These things, so that even if you never saw anything work down
- 00:14:09.838 --> 00:14:12.441
- You never saw anything work down here, you could just rejoice in
- 00:14:12.508 --> 00:14:14.310
- Here, you could just rejoice in the fact that you're born again,
- 00:14:14.376 --> 00:14:16.245
- The fact that you're born again, that you're missing hell, that
- 00:14:16.312 --> 00:14:17.413
- That you're missing hell, that you're going to spend an
- 00:14:17.479 --> 00:14:18.480
- You're going to spend an eternity in heaven. i guarantee,
- 00:14:18.547 --> 00:14:22.318
- Eternity in heaven. i guarantee, i don't care what you're going
- 00:14:22.384 --> 00:14:23.585
- I don't care what you're going through. you may think i'm
- 00:14:23.652 --> 00:14:25.120
- Through. you may think i'm insensitive, but i'm saying you
- 00:14:25.187 --> 00:14:26.922
- Insensitive, but i'm saying you are insensitive to what god has
- 00:14:26.989 --> 00:14:29.258
- Are insensitive to what god has done for you if you are letting
- 00:14:29.325 --> 00:14:31.126
- Done for you if you are letting your problems be magnified and
- 00:14:31.193 --> 00:14:33.462
- Your problems be magnified and occupy your attention more than
- 00:14:33.529 --> 00:14:35.197
- Occupy your attention more than you're letting what god has done
- 00:14:35.264 --> 00:14:37.266
- You're letting what god has done for you magnify and occupy your
- 00:14:37.333 --> 00:14:40.135
- For you magnify and occupy your attention. so you just got to
- 00:14:40.202 --> 00:14:41.737
- Attention. so you just got to get to a place to regardless of
- 00:14:41.804 --> 00:14:43.472
- Get to a place to regardless of what you're going through, you
- 00:14:43.539 --> 00:14:45.507
- What you're going through, you value god and what he's
- 00:14:45.574 --> 00:14:47.176
- Value god and what he's purchased for you and what your
- 00:14:47.242 --> 00:14:48.811
- Purchased for you and what your future holds. you value it so
- 00:14:48.877 --> 00:14:51.814
- Future holds. you value it so much that in comparison,
- 00:14:51.880 --> 00:14:54.016
- Much that in comparison, nothing else is a problem.
- 00:14:54.083 --> 00:14:56.452
- Nothing else is a problem. if the doctor tells you
- 00:14:56.518 --> 00:14:57.619
- If the doctor tells you you're going to die, and if
- 00:14:57.686 --> 00:14:58.620
- You're going to die, and if you were thinking like paul
- 00:14:58.687 --> 00:14:59.955
- Where he said, for me to live
- 00:15:00.022 --> 00:15:01.190
- Where he said, for me to live is christ, and to die is gain,
- 00:15:01.256 --> 00:15:03.225
- I'm in a strait between two.
- 00:15:03.292 --> 00:15:04.727
- I'm in a strait between two. i would rather go to be
- 00:15:04.793 --> 00:15:06.195
- I would rather go to be with the lord, but i know i've
- 00:15:06.261 --> 00:15:07.563
- With the lord, but i know i've got to stay here to minister to
- 00:15:07.629 --> 00:15:09.765
- Got to stay here to minister to you. if you had that attitude
- 00:15:09.832 --> 00:15:12.267
- You. if you had that attitude and the doctor tells you you're
- 00:15:12.334 --> 00:15:13.535
- And the doctor tells you you're going to die, it would be all
- 00:15:13.602 --> 00:15:15.304
- Going to die, it would be all you could do to keep from
- 00:15:15.371 --> 00:15:16.271
- You could do to keep from reaching up and just kissing
- 00:15:16.338 --> 00:15:17.539
- Reaching up and just kissing him, saying, thank you, that's
- 00:15:17.606 --> 00:15:19.241
- Him, saying, thank you, that's the best news i've heard. now
- 00:15:19.308 --> 00:15:21.844
- The best news i've heard. now again, am i denying that god
- 00:15:21.910 --> 00:15:23.212
- Again, am i denying that god heals? no. i want to walk in
- 00:15:23.278 --> 00:15:25.214
- Heals? no. i want to walk in healing because he purchased it
- 00:15:25.280 --> 00:15:26.582
- Healing because he purchased it for me. he, he provided it for
- 00:15:26.648 --> 00:15:28.884
- For me. he, he provided it for me, and man, if he thought
- 00:15:28.951 --> 00:15:30.452
- Me, and man, if he thought enough to suffer my sickness and
- 00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:32.321
- Enough to suffer my sickness and my disease, well then i'm going
- 00:15:32.388 --> 00:15:34.123
- My disease, well then i'm going to take advantage of it, so i'm
- 00:15:34.189 --> 00:15:35.457
- To take advantage of it, so i'm going to walk in healing. but
- 00:15:35.524 --> 00:15:36.692
- Going to walk in healing. but you know what? even if i never
- 00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:38.060
- You know what? even if i never saw a healing manifest, i'm
- 00:15:38.127 --> 00:15:40.195
- Saw a healing manifest, i'm going to still love and
- 00:15:40.262 --> 00:15:41.130
- Going to still love and appreciate god for everything
- 00:15:41.196 --> 00:15:42.631
- Appreciate god for everything he's done. and what he's done is
- 00:15:42.698 --> 00:15:43.932
- He's done. and what he's done is so great that it overwhelms any
- 00:15:43.999 --> 00:15:46.235
- So great that it overwhelms any sickness, any poverty, any
- 00:15:46.301 --> 00:15:48.137
- Sickness, any poverty, any situation that i'm dealing with.
- 00:15:48.203 --> 00:15:49.938
- I know there's people watching
- 00:15:52.007 --> 00:15:53.375
- I know there's people watching this that think, man, how... i
- 00:15:53.442 --> 00:15:55.277
- This that think, man, how... i just can't believe that anybody
- 00:15:55.344 --> 00:15:56.678
- Just can't believe that anybody lives that way. this is the way
- 00:15:56.745 --> 00:15:58.414
- Lives that way. this is the way that i live. and you can ask the
- 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:00.315
- That i live. and you can ask the people that work with me, and
- 00:16:00.382 --> 00:16:01.517
- People that work with me, and this is how i live. i, i have
- 00:16:01.583 --> 00:16:03.652
- This is how i live. i, i have all kinds of things happen that
- 00:16:03.719 --> 00:16:05.020
- All kinds of things happen that people don't ever know about. i
- 00:16:05.087 --> 00:16:06.255
- People don't ever know about. i don't tell them when it's in the
- 00:16:06.321 --> 00:16:07.489
- Don't tell them when it's in the moany stage. i wait until it
- 00:16:07.556 --> 00:16:09.058
- Moany stage. i wait until it becomes a testimony, amen,
- 00:16:09.124 --> 00:16:11.894
- Becomes a testimony, amen, before i tell people about what
- 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:13.395
- Before i tell people about what i've been through. but in just
- 00:16:13.462 --> 00:16:14.830
- I've been through. but in just the last couple of years i've
- 00:16:14.897 --> 00:16:16.031
- The last couple of years i've had things that i guarantee you,
- 00:16:16.098 --> 00:16:17.466
- Had things that i guarantee you, could have killed other people,
- 00:16:17.533 --> 00:16:19.635
- Could have killed other people, could have at least been major
- 00:16:19.701 --> 00:16:21.236
- Could have at least been major surgery, and i just walked
- 00:16:21.303 --> 00:16:22.738
- Surgery, and i just walked through it, and nobody knows i'm
- 00:16:22.805 --> 00:16:24.073
- Through it, and nobody knows i'm even dealing with anything.
- 00:16:24.139 --> 00:16:25.274
- Praise god for jesus. so this is
- 00:16:26.909 --> 00:16:29.278
- Praise god for jesus. so this is what you've got to do. you've
- 00:16:29.344 --> 00:16:30.245
- What you've got to do. you've got to glorify him. you know,
- 00:16:30.312 --> 00:16:32.281
- Got to glorify him. you know, let me turn over here to
- 00:16:32.347 --> 00:16:33.182
- Let me turn over here to romans, chapter 11, and in
- 00:16:33.248 --> 00:16:36.518
- Romans, chapter 11, and in verse 13, paul is talking,
- 00:16:36.585 --> 00:16:38.353
- And he says, for i speak
- 00:16:38.420 --> 00:16:39.521
- And he says, for i speak to you gentiles, inasmuch
- 00:16:39.588 --> 00:16:41.657
- To you gentiles, inasmuch as i am the apostle of
- 00:16:41.723 --> 00:16:43.792
- As i am the apostle of the gentiles, i magnify my
- 00:16:43.859 --> 00:16:46.929
- The gentiles, i magnify my office. the reason i'm using
- 00:16:46.995 --> 00:16:49.098
- This verse is to say that the
- 00:16:49.164 --> 00:16:50.432
- This verse is to say that the word that was translated magnify
- 00:16:50.499 --> 00:16:52.668
- Word that was translated magnify right there is the exact same
- 00:16:52.734 --> 00:16:55.704
- Greek word that is translated
- 00:16:56.905 --> 00:16:58.907
- Greek word that is translated glorify, doxazo, i think is the
- 00:16:58.974 --> 00:17:02.711
- Glorify, doxazo, i think is the way you say it. it's the exact
- 00:17:02.778 --> 00:17:04.012
- Way you say it. it's the exact same word that you have to
- 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:05.447
- Same word that you have to glorify god. when he said, i
- 00:17:05.514 --> 00:17:07.349
- Glorify god. when he said, i magnify my office, he says, i'm
- 00:17:07.416 --> 00:17:10.119
- Magnify my office, he says, i'm glorifying my office. so the
- 00:17:10.185 --> 00:17:12.287
- Glorifying my office. so the reason i bring that out is to
- 00:17:12.354 --> 00:17:13.455
- Reason i bring that out is to say here's another way to
- 00:17:13.522 --> 00:17:14.957
- Say here's another way to understand this, another way of
- 00:17:15.023 --> 00:17:17.025
- Understand this, another way of illustrating it, that when you
- 00:17:17.092 --> 00:17:19.394
- Illustrating it, that when you either magnify what god has done
- 00:17:19.461 --> 00:17:22.030
- Either magnify what god has done in your life, or you magnify
- 00:17:22.097 --> 00:17:24.399
- In your life, or you magnify what the devil is doing. and
- 00:17:24.466 --> 00:17:26.068
- What the devil is doing. and you're the one that determines
- 00:17:26.135 --> 00:17:27.469
- You're the one that determines that. when somebody says, but
- 00:17:27.536 --> 00:17:30.038
- That. when somebody says, but the doctor says i'm dying,
- 00:17:30.105 --> 00:17:31.406
- The doctor says i'm dying, you're the one who is so
- 00:17:31.473 --> 00:17:33.008
- You're the one who is so magnifying that, that this life
- 00:17:33.075 --> 00:17:35.677
- Magnifying that, that this life is more precious to you than
- 00:17:35.744 --> 00:17:37.746
- Is more precious to you than your relationship with god and
- 00:17:37.813 --> 00:17:39.581
- Your relationship with god and eternity and all of these
- 00:17:39.648 --> 00:17:41.016
- Eternity and all of these things. you're the one that
- 00:17:41.083 --> 00:17:42.651
- Things. you're the one that determines that. your mind is
- 00:17:42.718 --> 00:17:44.520
- Determines that. your mind is like a set of binoculars.
- 00:17:44.586 --> 00:17:46.955
- Like a set of binoculars. whatever you focus your
- 00:17:47.022 --> 00:17:48.457
- Whatever you focus your attention upon, it just gets
- 00:17:48.524 --> 00:17:49.758
- Attention upon, it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger.
- 00:17:49.825 --> 00:17:52.161
- Bigger and bigger and bigger. whatever you fail to consider,
- 00:17:52.227 --> 00:17:54.196
- Whatever you fail to consider, it gets smaller. that doesn't
- 00:17:54.263 --> 00:17:55.397
- It gets smaller. that doesn't mean that you'll lose the
- 00:17:55.464 --> 00:17:56.598
- Mean that you'll lose the knowledge of it, but it's not
- 00:17:56.665 --> 00:17:58.400
- Knowledge of it, but it's not going to dominate you. and the
- 00:17:58.467 --> 00:18:00.235
- Going to dominate you. and the sad fact is, most of us are more
- 00:18:00.302 --> 00:18:02.471
- Sad fact is, most of us are more focused on these negative things
- 00:18:02.538 --> 00:18:04.606
- Focused on these negative things that happen in this life than we
- 00:18:04.673 --> 00:18:06.708
- That happen in this life than we are on the positive things that
- 00:18:06.775 --> 00:18:08.177
- Are on the positive things that god does. the way i stay focused
- 00:18:08.243 --> 00:18:10.712
- God does. the way i stay focused is through the word of god. you
- 00:18:10.779 --> 00:18:12.814
- Is through the word of god. you know, i've been studying... just
- 00:18:12.881 --> 00:18:13.782
- Know, i've been studying... just last night i studied in ezra,
- 00:18:13.849 --> 00:18:15.751
- Last night i studied in ezra, and i saw how ezra was trying to
- 00:18:15.817 --> 00:18:18.754
- And i saw how ezra was trying to get the temple built, and he had
- 00:18:18.820 --> 00:18:20.989
- Get the temple built, and he had people within and without come
- 00:18:21.056 --> 00:18:23.859
- People within and without come against him, and the king
- 00:18:23.926 --> 00:18:25.394
- Against him, and the king stopped it, and the government
- 00:18:25.460 --> 00:18:27.196
- Stopped it, and the government wouldn't give him permission and
- 00:18:27.262 --> 00:18:29.131
- Wouldn't give him permission and stuff. and i can relate to this
- 00:18:29.198 --> 00:18:30.732
- Stuff. and i can relate to this because the city here has fought
- 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:32.367
- Because the city here has fought us on everything that we've
- 00:18:32.434 --> 00:18:33.936
- Us on everything that we've done. we've had people actually
- 00:18:34.002 --> 00:18:35.837
- Done. we've had people actually run for office on an anti-charis
- 00:18:35.904 --> 00:18:38.674
- Run for office on an anti-charis platform that they are going to
- 00:18:38.740 --> 00:18:40.075
- Platform that they are going to stop us. and so i was relating
- 00:18:40.142 --> 00:18:42.377
- Stop us. and so i was relating to ezra. but you know what? ezra
- 00:18:42.444 --> 00:18:44.746
- To ezra. but you know what? ezra won. they got the temple built.
- 00:18:44.813 --> 00:18:46.782
- Won. they got the temple built. and then nehemiah came along and
- 00:18:46.848 --> 00:18:48.817
- And then nehemiah came along and they got the walls built, and
- 00:18:48.884 --> 00:18:50.586
- They got the walls built, and they won. and i look at this.
- 00:18:50.652 --> 00:18:52.221
- They won. and i look at this. and what it does, see, it
- 00:18:52.287 --> 00:18:53.422
- And what it does, see, it just... i, i don't deny that
- 00:18:53.488 --> 00:18:56.024
- Just... i, i don't deny that the... there's people in the
- 00:18:56.091 --> 00:18:57.059
- The... there's people in the city that are trying to stop us
- 00:18:57.125 --> 00:18:59.027
- City that are trying to stop us and keep things from happening,
- 00:18:59.094 --> 00:19:00.195
- And keep things from happening, but i don't focus on it. i focus
- 00:19:00.262 --> 00:19:02.631
- But i don't focus on it. i focus on god, and i'm doing what
- 00:19:02.698 --> 00:19:03.865
- On god, and i'm doing what god told me to do. and by
- 00:19:03.932 --> 00:19:05.601
- God told me to do. and by doing that, god gets bigger.
- 00:19:05.667 --> 00:19:07.736
- You know, the scripture
- 00:19:07.803 --> 00:19:08.470
- You know, the scripture says, o, magnify the lord
- 00:19:08.537 --> 00:19:10.372
- Says, o, magnify the lord with me, and let us exalt
- 00:19:10.439 --> 00:19:12.307
- With me, and let us exalt his name together, out of
- 00:19:12.374 --> 00:19:14.109
- His name together, out of psalms chapter 34. how
- 00:19:14.176 --> 00:19:16.011
- Psalms chapter 34. how do you magnify god?
- 00:19:16.078 --> 00:19:18.213
- Technically speaking, you cannot
- 00:19:18.280 --> 00:19:19.948
- Technically speaking, you cannot make god bigger. god is who he
- 00:19:20.015 --> 00:19:22.818
- Make god bigger. god is who he is regardless of what you do. so
- 00:19:22.884 --> 00:19:24.686
- Is regardless of what you do. so god is not dependent on what you
- 00:19:24.753 --> 00:19:27.923
- God is not dependent on what you think. but as far as your life
- 00:19:27.990 --> 00:19:30.025
- Think. but as far as your life goes, as far as whether or not
- 00:19:30.092 --> 00:19:32.527
- Goes, as far as whether or not you experience god's ability in
- 00:19:32.594 --> 00:19:35.564
- You experience god's ability in your life, it's totally on you
- 00:19:35.631 --> 00:19:37.933
- Your life, it's totally on you whether you make god bigger or
- 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:40.035
- Whether you make god bigger or whether you make the problem
- 00:19:40.102 --> 00:19:41.370
- Whether you make the problem bigger. this is the reason that
- 00:19:41.436 --> 00:19:43.171
- The bible says in psalms 100,
- 00:19:43.238 --> 00:19:45.073
- The bible says in psalms 100, you enter into his gates with
- 00:19:45.140 --> 00:19:46.408
- You enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his
- 00:19:46.475 --> 00:19:47.609
- Thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise. then in
- 00:19:47.676 --> 00:19:49.144
- Courts with praise. then in philippians, chapter 4, it says,
- 00:19:49.211 --> 00:19:51.179
- Philippians, chapter 4, it says, with thanksgiving let your
- 00:19:51.246 --> 00:19:53.749
- With thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto god.
- 00:19:53.815 --> 00:19:56.351
- So the very first thing you're
- 00:19:56.418 --> 00:19:57.653
- So the very first thing you're supposed to do is when you
- 00:19:57.719 --> 00:19:58.820
- Supposed to do is when you come to god, instead of
- 00:19:58.887 --> 00:20:00.022
- Come to god, instead of telling him that, oh god, i'm
- 00:20:00.088 --> 00:20:01.323
- Telling him that, oh god, i'm dying, oh god, my finances are
- 00:20:01.390 --> 00:20:03.191
- Dying, oh god, my finances are falling apart, instead of just
- 00:20:03.258 --> 00:20:05.027
- Falling apart, instead of just throwing out all of these
- 00:20:05.093 --> 00:20:06.428
- Throwing out all of these problems, you enter with
- 00:20:06.495 --> 00:20:08.263
- Problems, you enter with thanksgiving. and with
- 00:20:08.330 --> 00:20:10.565
- Thanksgiving. and with thanksgiving you let your
- 00:20:10.632 --> 00:20:11.967
- Thanksgiving you let your requests be made known. because
- 00:20:12.034 --> 00:20:13.368
- Requests be made known. because you know what, if you start
- 00:20:13.435 --> 00:20:14.536
- You know what, if you start praising god, you, you have to
- 00:20:14.603 --> 00:20:17.039
- Praising god, you, you have to find something positive. you
- 00:20:17.105 --> 00:20:19.274
- Find something positive. you can't be thankful for bad
- 00:20:19.341 --> 00:20:21.009
- Can't be thankful for bad things. so, so when you approach
- 00:20:21.076 --> 00:20:23.545
- Things. so, so when you approach god, if you come in and say,
- 00:20:23.612 --> 00:20:25.247
- God, if you come in and say, well, god, do... the de... the
- 00:20:25.314 --> 00:20:27.783
- Well, god, do... the de... the doctor says i'm dying, but i
- 00:20:27.849 --> 00:20:29.818
- Doctor says i'm dying, but i thank you that even if i die,
- 00:20:29.885 --> 00:20:31.520
- Thank you that even if i die, i'm going to go to be with the
- 00:20:31.586 --> 00:20:32.521
- I'm going to go to be with the lord. plus, you said that you
- 00:20:32.587 --> 00:20:33.822
- Lord. plus, you said that you heal all of my sicknesses and
- 00:20:33.889 --> 00:20:35.290
- Heal all of my sicknesses and all of my diseases, so what the
- 00:20:35.357 --> 00:20:36.792
- All of my diseases, so what the doctor says is not that big of a
- 00:20:36.858 --> 00:20:38.560
- Doctor says is not that big of a deal. and you enter in and start
- 00:20:38.627 --> 00:20:40.729
- Deal. and you enter in and start thanking him and giving him
- 00:20:40.796 --> 00:20:42.397
- Thanking him and giving him praise. then you mention, oh
- 00:20:42.464 --> 00:20:45.133
- Praise. then you mention, oh yeah, the doctor says that i was
- 00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:46.768
- Yeah, the doctor says that i was going to die. by the time you
- 00:20:46.835 --> 00:20:47.936
- Going to die. by the time you get through praising god, it
- 00:20:48.003 --> 00:20:49.838
- Get through praising god, it just shrinks your problem down.
- 00:20:49.905 --> 00:20:51.873
- Just shrinks your problem down. your mind, again, is like
- 00:20:51.940 --> 00:20:53.008
- Your mind, again, is like binoculars. and if you look
- 00:20:53.075 --> 00:20:54.276
- Binoculars. and if you look through the small end of a
- 00:20:54.343 --> 00:20:55.644
- Through the small end of a binocular and out the big end,
- 00:20:55.711 --> 00:20:57.579
- Binocular and out the big end, did you know everything gets
- 00:20:57.646 --> 00:20:58.647
- Did you know everything gets bigger. but you can turn that
- 00:20:58.714 --> 00:20:59.881
- Bigger. but you can turn that exact same set of binoculars
- 00:20:59.948 --> 00:21:01.783
- Exact same set of binoculars around and you can look through
- 00:21:01.850 --> 00:21:03.418
- Around and you can look through the big end and out the small
- 00:21:03.485 --> 00:21:05.520
- The big end and out the small end, and you can shrink things
- 00:21:05.587 --> 00:21:07.789
- End, and you can shrink things by doing that. your mind can
- 00:21:07.856 --> 00:21:09.691
- By doing that. your mind can either magnify or it can shrink.
- 00:21:09.758 --> 00:21:13.161
- Your mind does that. whatever
- 00:21:14.796 --> 00:21:16.598
- Your mind does that. whatever you focus your attention on gets
- 00:21:16.665 --> 00:21:18.467
- You focus your attention on gets bigger. if you focus your
- 00:21:18.533 --> 00:21:20.035
- Bigger. if you focus your attention on your problems,
- 00:21:20.102 --> 00:21:21.603
- Attention on your problems, they'll get bigger. but you can
- 00:21:21.670 --> 00:21:23.405
- They'll get bigger. but you can also turn it around and you can
- 00:21:23.472 --> 00:21:25.407
- Also turn it around and you can so focus on god that immediately
- 00:21:25.474 --> 00:21:28.110
- So focus on god that immediately your problems just begin to
- 00:21:28.176 --> 00:21:29.311
- Your problems just begin to shrink down to where they're
- 00:21:29.378 --> 00:21:30.412
- Shrink down to where they're nothing. you know, i could take
- 00:21:30.479 --> 00:21:32.013
- Nothing. you know, i could take a set of binoculars, and i could
- 00:21:32.080 --> 00:21:33.482
- A set of binoculars, and i could look at pikes peak, this huge
- 00:21:33.548 --> 00:21:34.983
- Look at pikes peak, this huge mountain outside here. but if i
- 00:21:35.050 --> 00:21:37.052
- Mountain outside here. but if i look through the big end and out
- 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:38.520
- Look through the big end and out the small end, i could shrink
- 00:21:38.587 --> 00:21:39.688
- The small end, i could shrink pikes peak down to where it's
- 00:21:39.755 --> 00:21:40.689
- Pikes peak down to where it's just that big and it's no big
- 00:21:40.756 --> 00:21:42.090
- Just that big and it's no big deal, amen. you can take, oh,
- 00:21:42.157 --> 00:21:44.593
- Deal, amen. you can take, oh, the doctor says i'm going to
- 00:21:44.659 --> 00:21:45.727
- The doctor says i'm going to die. well, that's no big deal
- 00:21:45.794 --> 00:21:47.629
- Die. well, that's no big deal because if i die, i go to be
- 00:21:47.696 --> 00:21:48.930
- Because if i die, i go to be with the lord, or i'll get
- 00:21:48.997 --> 00:21:50.165
- With the lord, or i'll get healed and rub the devil's nose
- 00:21:50.232 --> 00:21:52.200
- Healed and rub the devil's nose in it. so, i'm not going to
- 00:21:52.267 --> 00:21:53.635
- In it. so, i'm not going to worry about if i get a death
- 00:21:53.702 --> 00:21:55.804
- Worry about if i get a death sentence. i'm not going to worry
- 00:21:55.871 --> 00:21:56.938
- Sentence. i'm not going to worry if they tell me i've only got 12
- 00:21:57.005 --> 00:21:58.740
- If they tell me i've only got 12 hours of working capital left.
- 00:21:58.807 --> 00:22:00.876

- 00:25:44.499 --> 00:25:45.300
- In the world
- 00:25:45.300 --> 00:25:46.167

- That i didn't realize
- 00:26:10.825 --> 00:26:12.060
- My symptoms were fading away.
- 00:26:12.060 --> 00:26:13.828
- And when i just quit
- 00:26:13.828 --> 00:26:14.929
- And turned to god
- 00:26:14.929 --> 00:26:15.997
- And asked him for help,
- 00:26:15.997 --> 00:26:17.966
