  • Today i am continuing in a, a
  • 00:00:33.356 --> 00:00:35.391
  • Series that i started last week
  • 00:00:35.391 --> 00:00:37.127
  • Talking about how you can stay
  • 00:00:37.127 --> 00:00:38.995
  • Full of god. it's totally
  • 00:00:38.995 --> 00:00:41.097
  • Up to you how much joy and
  • 00:00:41.097 --> 00:00:43.366
  • Peace you have. so that's
  • 00:00:43.366 --> 00:00:45.368
  • What this book is about.
  • 00:00:45.368 --> 00:00:46.469
  • 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
  • 00:05:48.004 --> 00:05:49.906
  • 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
  • Hours of working capital left. i'm not going to worry if they
  • 00:22:00.942 --> 00:22:02.010
  • I'm not going to worry if they tell me that somebody hates me
  • 00:22:02.077 --> 00:22:03.779

  • That everybody understands how

  • Important what i'm saying is.
  • 00:22:19.961 --> 00:22:21.196
  • But if satan can't steal your
  • 00:22:21.196 --> 00:22:23.064
  • Joy, he can't get your goods.
  • 00:22:23.064 --> 00:22:25.567

  • And turned to god
  • 00:26:14.929 --> 00:26:15.997
