>> welcome to gospel truth
00:00:00.824 --> 00:00:02.392
With andrew wommack,
00:00:02.392 --> 00:00:03.793
Celebrating 25 years of sharing
00:00:03.793 --> 00:00:06.162
God's unconditional love
00:00:06.162 --> 00:00:07.964
And grace on television.
00:00:07.964 --> 00:00:10.366
>> this is something that
00:00:10.366 --> 00:00:11.768
Everyone in the entire world
00:00:11.768 --> 00:00:13.470
Needs to know, the knowledge
00:00:13.470 --> 00:00:15.405
And head knowledge that we get
00:00:15.405 --> 00:00:16.573
From charis bible college, so
00:00:16.573 --> 00:00:18.208
I would say just step out
00:00:18.208 --> 00:00:19.609
In faith and don't look back.
00:00:19.609 --> 00:00:23.346
>> and now, here's andrew.
00:00:23.346 --> 00:00:25.782
>> welcome to our monday's
00:00:25.782 --> 00:00:26.749
Broadcast of the gospel truth.
00:00:26.749 --> 00:00:28.985
Today i'm beginning my third
00:00:28.985 --> 00:00:30.553
Week of teaching on a subject
00:00:30.553 --> 00:00:32.655
That i have entitled the
00:00:32.655 --> 00:00:34.157
Keys to staying full of god.
00:00:34.157 --> 00:00:36.693
What i've covered, i haven't
00:00:36.693 --> 00:00:38.595
Got time to go back through
00:00:38.661 --> 00:00:39.929
Got time to go back through everything but in verse 21,
00:00:39.996 --> 00:00:41.631
This is romans 1:21, it
00:00:41.698 --> 00:00:43.700
This is romans 1:21, it says, because that, when
00:00:43.766 --> 00:00:45.168
Says, because that, when they knew god, they
00:00:45.235 --> 00:00:46.903
They knew god, they glorified him not as god,
00:00:46.970 --> 00:00:48.571
Glorified him not as god, neither were thankful; but
00:00:48.638 --> 00:00:50.340
Neither were thankful; but became vain in their
00:00:50.406 --> 00:00:51.641
Became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish
00:00:51.708 --> 00:00:53.543
Imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. and again, i
00:00:53.610 --> 00:00:55.778
Haven't got time to go back and
00:00:55.845 --> 00:00:57.046
Haven't got time to go back and put all of this in its context,
00:00:57.113 --> 00:00:58.481
Put all of this in its context, but it was talking about how
00:00:58.548 --> 00:00:59.716
But it was talking about how that there is an intuitive
00:00:59.782 --> 00:01:00.884
That there is an intuitive knowledge on the inside of every
00:01:00.950 --> 00:01:03.453
Knowledge on the inside of every single person of right and wrong
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.723
Single person of right and wrong so that they are without excuse.
00:01:06.789 --> 00:01:09.392
So that they are without excuse. but then in verse 21, it begins
00:01:09.459 --> 00:01:11.294
But then in verse 21, it begins to describe steps that you can
00:01:11.361 --> 00:01:13.129
To describe steps that you can take away from god and you can
00:01:13.196 --> 00:01:15.365
Take away from god and you can deaden yourself to this
00:01:15.431 --> 00:01:17.233
Deaden yourself to this intuitive knowledge that god
00:01:17.300 --> 00:01:18.835
Intuitive knowledge that god placed inside of everyone. or as
00:01:18.902 --> 00:01:21.037
Placed inside of everyone. or as it says over in 1 timothy,
00:01:21.104 --> 00:01:22.472
It says over in 1 timothy, chapter 4, you can literally
00:01:22.539 --> 00:01:24.474
Chapter 4, you can literally sear your conscience like with a
00:01:24.541 --> 00:01:27.010
Sear your conscience like with a hot iron. you can deaden
00:01:27.076 --> 00:01:28.578
Hot iron. you can deaden yourself to this inner witness,
00:01:28.645 --> 00:01:30.680
Yourself to this inner witness, but it can't happen all at once.
00:01:30.747 --> 00:01:32.315
But it can't happen all at once. it's a progressive thing. so,
00:01:32.382 --> 00:01:34.284
It's a progressive thing. so, romans 1:21, shows you four
00:01:34.350 --> 00:01:36.653
Romans 1:21, shows you four progressive steps that you have
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:39.923
Progressive steps that you have to take to lose this... this
00:01:39.989 --> 00:01:43.459
To take to lose this... this revelation that god puts on the
00:01:43.526 --> 00:01:46.095
Revelation that god puts on the inside of every person. and you
00:01:46.162 --> 00:01:47.463
Inside of every person. and you could not only apply this to
00:01:47.530 --> 00:01:49.532
Could not only apply this to that intuitive knowledge, the
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:51.034
That intuitive knowledge, the conscience, that god puts inside
00:01:51.100 --> 00:01:52.735
Conscience, that god puts inside of every person. but you could
00:01:52.802 --> 00:01:54.270
Of every person. but you could apply it to everything. if a
00:01:54.337 --> 00:01:56.439
Apply it to everything. if a person has an experience with
00:01:56.506 --> 00:01:58.174
Person has an experience with the lord and you just really
00:01:58.241 --> 00:02:00.543
The lord and you just really understand and receive a
00:02:00.610 --> 00:02:02.045
Understand and receive a revelation of how much god loves
00:02:02.111 --> 00:02:03.913
Revelation of how much god loves you, for that to wane you have
00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:06.583
You, for that to wane you have to do these four things. you
00:02:06.649 --> 00:02:08.718
To do these four things. you have to quit glorifying him. now
00:02:08.785 --> 00:02:10.853
Have to quit glorifying him. now i've already talked about that,
00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:12.488
I've already talked about that, but without going into a lot of
00:02:12.555 --> 00:02:14.290
But without going into a lot of explanation, the word glorify is
00:02:14.357 --> 00:02:15.825
Explanation, the word glorify is just talking about you don't
00:02:15.892 --> 00:02:17.026
Just talking about you don't value it properly. you don't
00:02:17.093 --> 00:02:18.761
Value it properly. you don't really appreciate what you have
00:02:18.828 --> 00:02:20.797
Really appreciate what you have and place the proper value on
00:02:20.863 --> 00:02:22.432
And place the proper value on it. that's the first thing you
00:02:22.498 --> 00:02:23.866
It. that's the first thing you have to do. and i spent nearly a
00:02:23.933 --> 00:02:26.469
Have to do. and i spent nearly a week talking about that. the
00:02:26.536 --> 00:02:28.137
Week talking about that. the second thing is you have to quit
00:02:28.204 --> 00:02:31.140
Second thing is you have to quit being thankful. thankfulness is
00:02:31.207 --> 00:02:34.744
Being thankful. thankfulness is a powerful subject, and i talked
00:02:34.811 --> 00:02:36.312
A powerful subject, and i talked about that all last week, but
00:02:36.379 --> 00:02:37.747
About that all last week, but when you are thanking god for
00:02:37.814 --> 00:02:40.817
When you are thanking god for what you have, it automatically
00:02:40.883 --> 00:02:42.752
What you have, it automatically makes you go back and remember.
00:02:42.819 --> 00:02:44.754
Makes you go back and remember. memory is a powerful force. i
00:02:44.821 --> 00:02:47.523
Memory is a powerful force. i think it's much more powerful
00:02:47.590 --> 00:02:48.725
Think it's much more powerful than what most people realize.
00:02:48.791 --> 00:02:50.727
Than what most people realize. it says three times over
00:02:50.793 --> 00:02:52.028
It says three times over in 2 peter, chapter 3; 2
00:02:52.095 --> 00:02:54.831
In 2 peter, chapter 3; 2 peter, chapter 3, verse 1,
00:02:54.897 --> 00:02:56.232
Peter, chapter 3, verse 1, is one of the obvious ones
00:02:56.299 --> 00:02:57.333
Where he says, i stir up
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:58.701
Where he says, i stir up your pure minds by
00:02:58.768 --> 00:03:00.603
Your pure minds by way of remembrance.
00:03:00.670 --> 00:03:02.705
And so, memory can stir
00:03:02.772 --> 00:03:04.674
And so, memory can stir you up. and we are
00:03:04.741 --> 00:03:06.743
You up. and we are given commands like
00:03:06.809 --> 00:03:07.744
In psalms 103, where
00:03:07.810 --> 00:03:09.279
In psalms 103, where bless the lord, o my
00:03:09.345 --> 00:03:10.280
Bless the lord, o my soul, and forget not all his
00:03:10.346 --> 00:03:13.349
Soul, and forget not all his benefits. the reason he told us
00:03:13.416 --> 00:03:15.151
Not to forget is because it is
00:03:15.218 --> 00:03:17.553
Not to forget is because it is our tendency to forget. and so
00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:19.922
Our tendency to forget. and so you have to constantly be
00:03:19.989 --> 00:03:21.391
You have to constantly be reminding yourself. you know if
00:03:21.457 --> 00:03:23.660
Reminding yourself. you know if you don't... if you don't
00:03:23.726 --> 00:03:25.295
You don't... if you don't remember what god has done in
00:03:25.361 --> 00:03:27.797
Remember what god has done in your life, and not only in your
00:03:27.864 --> 00:03:29.065
Your life, and not only in your life but if you don't remember
00:03:29.132 --> 00:03:31.100
Life but if you don't remember what god has done throughout
00:03:31.167 --> 00:03:32.702
What god has done throughout history, in a sense it's like a
00:03:32.769 --> 00:03:34.704
History, in a sense it's like a person with... with... what do
00:03:34.771 --> 00:03:37.907
Person with... with... what do we call all... alzheimer's where
00:03:37.974 --> 00:03:40.543
We call all... alzheimer's where they can't remember things. did
00:03:40.610 --> 00:03:42.745
They can't remember things. did you know you can't function. we
00:03:42.812 --> 00:03:44.714
You know you can't function. we have to put people like that in
00:03:44.781 --> 00:03:46.015
Have to put people like that in homes and have somebody watch
00:03:46.082 --> 00:03:47.250
Homes and have somebody watch them because they just can't
00:03:47.317 --> 00:03:48.284
Them because they just can't remember things. and so you
00:03:48.351 --> 00:03:50.386
Remember things. and so you can... as a nation, we can lose
00:03:50.453 --> 00:03:52.422
Can... as a nation, we can lose our memory and this has
00:03:52.488 --> 00:03:53.623
Our memory and this has certainly happened in the united
00:03:53.690 --> 00:03:55.725
Certainly happened in the united states, where in the last few
00:03:55.792 --> 00:03:58.061
States, where in the last few years there has been a
00:03:58.127 --> 00:03:59.462
Years there has been a revisionist history where they
00:03:59.529 --> 00:04:01.197
Revisionist history where they go back and say that america is
00:04:01.264 --> 00:04:03.633
Go back and say that america is systemically racist. that is an
00:04:03.700 --> 00:04:05.968
Systemically racist. that is an absolute lie. we actually had
00:04:06.035 --> 00:04:08.271
Absolute lie. we actually had one of our representatives. i'm
00:04:08.338 --> 00:04:10.073
One of our representatives. i'm not sure if they were a
00:04:10.139 --> 00:04:10.873
Not sure if they were a representative or a senator, but
00:04:10.940 --> 00:04:12.875
Representative or a senator, but they actually said that america
00:04:12.942 --> 00:04:15.211
They actually said that america invented slavery and that is an
00:04:15.278 --> 00:04:17.780
Invented slavery and that is an absolute lie. we are the first
00:04:17.847 --> 00:04:20.183
Absolute lie. we are the first nation on the history of the
00:04:20.249 --> 00:04:21.451
Nation on the history of the planet that put in our
00:04:21.517 --> 00:04:23.586
Planet that put in our constitution, in our founding
00:04:23.653 --> 00:04:25.355
Constitution, in our founding documents that all men are
00:04:25.421 --> 00:04:27.590
Documents that all men are created equal, and we were
00:04:27.657 --> 00:04:29.525
Created equal, and we were moving towards getting rid of
00:04:29.592 --> 00:04:31.961
Moving towards getting rid of slavery. we... that is just a
00:04:32.028 --> 00:04:33.596
Slavery. we... that is just a lie. slavery goes back, if you
00:04:33.663 --> 00:04:35.431
Lie. slavery goes back, if you read the bible, you could
00:04:35.498 --> 00:04:37.166
Read the bible, you could recognize that the hebrews were
00:04:37.233 --> 00:04:39.235
Recognize that the hebrews were slaves in egypt, and it wasn't a
00:04:39.302 --> 00:04:41.270
Slaves in egypt, and it wasn't a color thing. it was... they were
00:04:41.337 --> 00:04:43.706
Color thing. it was... they were the same color of people, but it
00:04:43.773 --> 00:04:46.008
The same color of people, but it was just a nationality. you know
00:04:46.075 --> 00:04:48.044
Was just a nationality. you know a good friend of mine, e. w.
00:04:48.111 --> 00:04:49.312
A good friend of mine, e. w. jackson, he's a black man. he's
00:04:49.379 --> 00:04:51.013
Jackson, he's a black man. he's run for government office. he
00:04:51.080 --> 00:04:53.216
Run for government office. he even ran for president in the
00:04:53.282 --> 00:04:54.951
Even ran for president in the la... last election cycle. and
00:04:55.017 --> 00:04:57.353
La... last election cycle. and he says that if somehow or
00:04:57.420 --> 00:04:58.488
He says that if somehow or another, god could just wave his
00:04:58.554 --> 00:04:59.756
Another, god could just wave his hand and make everybody the same
00:04:59.822 --> 00:05:01.958
Hand and make everybody the same color, well then they would
00:05:02.024 --> 00:05:03.593
Color, well then they would start trying to separate people
00:05:03.659 --> 00:05:05.561
Start trying to separate people based on whether your hair is
00:05:05.628 --> 00:05:07.130
Based on whether your hair is straight or whether it's got
00:05:07.196 --> 00:05:08.765
Straight or whether it's got curls in it, whether your eyes
00:05:08.831 --> 00:05:10.500
Curls in it, whether your eyes are blue or brown or whatever.
00:05:10.566 --> 00:05:12.668
Are blue or brown or whatever. it's just human nature to
00:05:12.735 --> 00:05:14.370
It's just human nature to oppress people and try and feel
00:05:14.437 --> 00:05:16.639
Oppress people and try and feel superior to other people. it's
00:05:16.706 --> 00:05:18.307
Superior to other people. it's not a... a race type of thing.
00:05:18.374 --> 00:05:20.543
Not a... a race type of thing. anyway, my point is that if you
00:05:20.610 --> 00:05:24.113
Anyway, my point is that if you go back and remember history, it
00:05:24.180 --> 00:05:26.682
Go back and remember history, it would allow... it would keep us
00:05:26.749 --> 00:05:29.152
Would allow... it would keep us from being deceived by some of
00:05:29.218 --> 00:05:31.287
From being deceived by some of the things that have been trying
00:05:31.354 --> 00:05:32.722
The things that have been trying to be promoted and pushed on
00:05:32.789 --> 00:05:34.357
To be promoted and pushed on people. and it's the same thing
00:05:34.424 --> 00:05:35.958
People. and it's the same thing in your own personal life. if
00:05:36.025 --> 00:05:37.860
In your own personal life. if you go back and constantly
00:05:37.927 --> 00:05:39.529
You go back and constantly rehearse the good that god has
00:05:39.595 --> 00:05:42.165
Rehearse the good that god has done in your life, it is
00:05:42.231 --> 00:05:45.201
Done in your life, it is therapeutic. i tell you what, it
00:05:45.268 --> 00:05:46.936
Therapeutic. i tell you what, it is an important part of your
00:05:47.003 --> 00:05:50.673
Is an important part of your walk with the lord. if you don't
00:05:50.740 --> 00:05:52.675
Walk with the lord. if you don't remember the things that god has
00:05:52.742 --> 00:05:54.877
Remember the things that god has done, then you're in a sense
00:05:54.944 --> 00:05:56.813
Done, then you're in a sense like a goose. you just wake up
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:58.681
Like a goose. you just wake up in a new world every morning.
00:05:58.748 --> 00:06:00.116
In a new world every morning. you don't remember what happened
00:06:00.183 --> 00:06:01.484
You don't remember what happened the day before, and you're
00:06:01.551 --> 00:06:02.685
The day before, and you're just... that's a dangerous place
00:06:02.752 --> 00:06:05.321
Just... that's a dangerous place to be. so, the second thing that
00:06:05.388 --> 00:06:09.192
To be. so, the second thing that you have to do is quit being
00:06:09.258 --> 00:06:10.493
You have to do is quit being thankful, which means you quit
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:12.128
Thankful, which means you quit remembering that it's god who
00:06:12.195 --> 00:06:14.664
Remembering that it's god who gave you everything that you've
00:06:14.730 --> 00:06:16.199
Gave you everything that you've got. god is the source of all of
00:06:16.265 --> 00:06:18.401
Got. god is the source of all of the good in your life. and
00:06:18.468 --> 00:06:20.102
The good in your life. and thankfulness will just
00:06:20.169 --> 00:06:21.304
Thankfulness will just keep you in a humble place.
00:06:21.370 --> 00:06:23.272
It says over in 1 peter,
00:06:23.339 --> 00:06:24.574
It says over in 1 peter, chapter 5, about that god
00:06:24.640 --> 00:06:26.309
Chapter 5, about that god resists the proud, but he gives
00:06:26.375 --> 00:06:28.444
Resists the proud, but he gives grace to the humble. did you
00:06:28.511 --> 00:06:30.146
Know one of the ways that you
00:06:30.213 --> 00:06:31.247
Know one of the ways that you keep yourself humble is to go
00:06:31.314 --> 00:06:32.682
Keep yourself humble is to go back and remember that it's god
00:06:32.748 --> 00:06:35.318
Back and remember that it's god who is the one who gave you all
00:06:35.384 --> 00:06:37.687
Who is the one who gave you all of the advantages. it's god
00:06:37.753 --> 00:06:39.322
Of the advantages. it's god who's promoted you and made
00:06:39.388 --> 00:06:40.556
Who's promoted you and made anything good happen. you know
00:06:40.623 --> 00:06:42.758
Anything good happen. you know when the lord rebuked saul, and
00:06:42.825 --> 00:06:45.161
When the lord rebuked saul, and you can read about this over in
00:06:45.228 --> 00:06:46.796
You can read about this over in 1 samuel, chapter 15, i think it
00:06:46.863 --> 00:06:49.899
1 samuel, chapter 15, i think it is, samuel actually rebuked
00:06:49.966 --> 00:06:52.001
Is, samuel actually rebuked saul, and he said, when you were
00:06:52.068 --> 00:06:53.336
Saul, and he said, when you were little in your own eyes, then
00:06:53.402 --> 00:06:56.105
Little in your own eyes, then the lord exalted you and made
00:06:56.172 --> 00:06:58.074
The lord exalted you and made you the ruler over this people.
00:06:58.140 --> 00:06:59.842
You the ruler over this people. and he went on and rebuked him
00:06:59.909 --> 00:07:01.344
And he went on and rebuked him and he says it's because you
00:07:01.410 --> 00:07:02.478
And he says it's because you forgot where you came from. you
00:07:02.545 --> 00:07:04.580
Forgot where you came from. you forgot that any good thing
00:07:04.647 --> 00:07:06.015
Forgot that any good thing that's ever happened in your
00:07:06.082 --> 00:07:07.216
That's ever happened in your life, it's because god is the
00:07:07.283 --> 00:07:08.684
Life, it's because god is the one who made that happen. you
00:07:08.751 --> 00:07:10.052
One who made that happen. you didn't do it by your own
00:07:10.119 --> 00:07:11.153
Didn't do it by your own strength and power. so again,
00:07:11.220 --> 00:07:13.155
Strength and power. so again, i've nearly gone back and
00:07:13.222 --> 00:07:14.223
I've nearly gone back and preached all of those things but
00:07:14.290 --> 00:07:15.591
Preached all of those things but that was just a brief summary
00:07:15.658 --> 00:07:16.859
That was just a brief summary that the first thing you have to
00:07:16.926 --> 00:07:17.960
That the first thing you have to do is not value god. you
00:07:18.027 --> 00:07:20.029
Do is not value god. you don't... you put the value on
00:07:20.096 --> 00:07:21.364
Don't... you put the value on what somebody else says. you
00:07:21.430 --> 00:07:22.732
What somebody else says. you want their approval more than
00:07:22.798 --> 00:07:24.166
Want their approval more than you want god's. you... you
00:07:24.233 --> 00:07:25.868
You want god's. you... you forget that god is the one who
00:07:25.935 --> 00:07:29.872
Forget that god is the one who is the source of all of the
00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:32.475
Is the source of all of the good, you aren't thankful. and
00:07:32.542 --> 00:07:34.377
Good, you aren't thankful. and then the third thing that you
00:07:34.443 --> 00:07:35.611
Then the third thing that you have to do to walk away from
00:07:35.678 --> 00:07:37.747
Have to do to walk away from what god has done in your life
00:07:37.813 --> 00:07:39.749
What god has done in your life and lose the benefit of it is...
00:07:39.815 --> 00:07:42.151
The third thing right here, it
00:07:42.218 --> 00:07:43.486
The third thing right here, it says that they became vain in
00:07:43.553 --> 00:07:46.355
Says that they became vain in their imaginations. now i've got
00:07:46.422 --> 00:07:48.624
An entire teaching out on this.
00:07:48.691 --> 00:07:50.359
An entire teaching out on this. i'm not offering that book, but
00:07:50.426 --> 00:07:51.794

Into our helpline and ask. but i've got a teaching entitled the
00:07:58.501 --> 00:07:59.869
I've got a teaching entitled the power of imagination, and it's
00:07:59.936 --> 00:08:02.638
Power of imagination, and it's one of the most important things
00:08:02.705 --> 00:08:04.740
One of the most important things that the lord ever spoke to me
00:08:04.807 --> 00:08:07.143
That the lord ever spoke to me is about our imagination and how
00:08:07.209 --> 00:08:09.412
Is about our imagination and how we have to use our imagination
00:08:09.478 --> 00:08:11.347
We have to use our imagination in a positive way. this says
00:08:11.414 --> 00:08:13.749
In a positive way. this says that if you are walking away
00:08:13.816 --> 00:08:15.484
That if you are walking away from god and diminishing what
00:08:15.551 --> 00:08:18.187
From god and diminishing what he's done in your life, you have
00:08:18.254 --> 00:08:19.322
He's done in your life, you have to quit valuing him, you quit...
00:08:19.388 --> 00:08:21.023
To quit valuing him, you quit... have to quit being thankful,
00:08:21.090 --> 00:08:22.992
Have to quit being thankful, which includes memory,
00:08:23.059 --> 00:08:24.794
And then you become vain in your
00:08:24.860 --> 00:08:27.396
And then you become vain in your imaginations. notice it didn't
00:08:27.463 --> 00:08:29.432
Imaginations. notice it didn't say that your imagination quits
00:08:29.498 --> 00:08:31.067
Say that your imagination quits working. you know without me
00:08:31.133 --> 00:08:32.535
Going into a very lengthy
00:08:32.602 --> 00:08:35.137
Going into a very lengthy teaching on this... again, you
00:08:35.204 --> 00:08:36.472
Teaching on this... again, you could get that teaching on the
00:08:36.539 --> 00:08:37.974
Could get that teaching on the power of imagination that would
00:08:38.040 --> 00:08:39.442
Power of imagination that would go into more detail. but you
00:08:39.508 --> 00:08:41.310
Go into more detail. but you can't function without an
00:08:41.377 --> 00:08:43.079
Can't function without an imagination. to most adults,
00:08:43.145 --> 00:08:45.881
Imagination. to most adults, they think that imagination is
00:08:45.948 --> 00:08:47.550
They think that imagination is only talking about fantasy,
00:08:47.617 --> 00:08:49.352
Only talking about fantasy, about, you know, like a mouse
00:08:49.418 --> 00:08:51.487
About, you know, like a mouse that talks or a elephant that
00:08:51.554 --> 00:08:53.489
That talks or a elephant that flies and they think well that's
00:08:53.556 --> 00:08:55.391
Flies and they think well that's fantasy, that's using your
00:08:55.458 --> 00:08:56.892
Fantasy, that's using your imagination. that is one use of
00:08:56.959 --> 00:08:58.828
Imagination. that is one use of imagination is to believe for
00:08:58.894 --> 00:09:00.496
Imagination is to believe for things you know that are just
00:09:00.563 --> 00:09:02.098
Things you know that are just total fantasy, there's no
00:09:02.164 --> 00:09:03.265
Total fantasy, there's no reality to it, and that is one
00:09:03.332 --> 00:09:05.167
Reality to it, and that is one way that people use their
00:09:05.234 --> 00:09:06.902
Way that people use their imagination. and most people who
00:09:06.969 --> 00:09:08.804
Imagination. and most people who are adults think that, you know,
00:09:08.871 --> 00:09:11.140
Are adults think that, you know, fantasy is all there is to
00:09:11.207 --> 00:09:12.908
Fantasy is all there is to imagination and now that i'm an
00:09:12.975 --> 00:09:14.477
Imagination and now that i'm an adult, i don't do that anymore.
00:09:14.543 --> 00:09:16.946
Adult, i don't do that anymore. but you can't function without
00:09:17.013 --> 00:09:18.381
But you can't function without an imagination. you know your
00:09:18.447 --> 00:09:20.016
An imagination. you know your imagination, if you go into a
00:09:20.082 --> 00:09:21.484
Imagination, if you go into a mall and if you park your car in
00:09:21.550 --> 00:09:23.419
Mall and if you park your car in a parking lot someplace and you
00:09:23.486 --> 00:09:25.321
A parking lot someplace and you go into the mall, you may not
00:09:25.388 --> 00:09:26.555
Go into the mall, you may not think about this, it probably
00:09:26.622 --> 00:09:27.957
Think about this, it probably isn't conscious on your part.
00:09:28.024 --> 00:09:30.793
Isn't conscious on your part. but did you know you can't find
00:09:30.860 --> 00:09:32.895
But did you know you can't find your car if you can't imagine
00:09:32.962 --> 00:09:35.965
Your car if you can't imagine where that car is. now you may
00:09:36.032 --> 00:09:37.466
Where that car is. now you may not memorize the exact lot and
00:09:37.533 --> 00:09:40.469
Not memorize the exact lot and the number and things like that.
00:09:40.536 --> 00:09:42.638
The number and things like that. but you know that when you come
00:09:42.705 --> 00:09:43.939
But you know that when you come out of the mall, you're parked
00:09:44.006 --> 00:09:45.941
Out of the mall, you're parked either to the left or to the
00:09:46.008 --> 00:09:47.209
Either to the left or to the right. you're either at the
00:09:47.276 --> 00:09:48.210
Right. you're either at the front or you're at the back. you
00:09:48.277 --> 00:09:50.546
Front or you're at the back. you have a picture is how you think.
00:09:50.613 --> 00:09:53.249
Have a picture is how you think. this is how you think. you know
00:09:53.315 --> 00:09:54.950
This is how you think. you know if i was to say apple and think
00:09:55.017 --> 00:09:58.187
If i was to say apple and think of an apple, did you know you
00:09:58.254 --> 00:09:59.822
Of an apple, did you know you don't see the letters a-p-p-l-e.
00:09:59.889 --> 00:10:03.659
Don't see the letters a-p-p-l-e. what you see is an apple. you
00:10:03.726 --> 00:10:06.495
What you see is an apple. you think in pictures. and so if i
00:10:06.562 --> 00:10:08.998
Think in pictures. and so if i said think of an apple, did you
00:10:09.065 --> 00:10:10.566
Said think of an apple, did you know some people would think of
00:10:10.633 --> 00:10:12.001
Know some people would think of a green apple. some people would
00:10:12.068 --> 00:10:14.470
A green apple. some people would think of the, you know, red
00:10:14.537 --> 00:10:16.672
Think of the, you know, red apple. and with my words, my...
00:10:16.739 --> 00:10:19.341
Apple. and with my words, my... as i speak, i can paint a
00:10:19.408 --> 00:10:21.310
As i speak, i can paint a picture with my words. a good
00:10:21.377 --> 00:10:23.813
Picture with my words. a good communicate... ca...
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:25.181
Communicate... ca... communicator this is what they
00:10:25.247 --> 00:10:26.816
Communicator this is what they do is they use words, they tell
00:10:26.882 --> 00:10:29.018
Do is they use words, they tell stories, and they paint
00:10:29.085 --> 00:10:30.653
Stories, and they paint pictures. this is why we have
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:32.455
Pictures. this is why we have that saying about a picture is
00:10:32.521 --> 00:10:34.123
That saying about a picture is worth a thousand words. because
00:10:34.190 --> 00:10:37.059
Worth a thousand words. because if you can see something, it
00:10:37.126 --> 00:10:39.028
If you can see something, it will retain much more than just
00:10:39.095 --> 00:10:41.163
Will retain much more than just words on a page. so, when i say
00:10:41.230 --> 00:10:44.600
Words on a page. so, when i say apple, again, some people could
00:10:44.667 --> 00:10:46.402
Apple, again, some people could be thinking of a green apple or
00:10:46.469 --> 00:10:47.770
Be thinking of a green apple or a red apple. if i say a big red
00:10:47.837 --> 00:10:49.939
A red apple. if i say a big red delicious apple, well then...
00:10:50.005 --> 00:10:52.041
Delicious apple, well then... and i use that, well then
00:10:52.108 --> 00:10:53.275
And i use that, well then everybody's picture starts
00:10:53.342 --> 00:10:54.610
Everybody's picture starts getting closer to each other. i
00:10:54.677 --> 00:10:56.278
Getting closer to each other. i could describe that it's gotten
00:10:56.345 --> 00:10:58.013
Could describe that it's gotten rotten and that it's beginning
00:10:58.080 --> 00:10:59.715
Rotten and that it's beginning to shrivel up and here's a worm
00:10:59.782 --> 00:11:01.183
To shrivel up and here's a worm coming out of that apple. did
00:11:01.250 --> 00:11:02.351
Coming out of that apple. did you know as i say those things,
00:11:02.418 --> 00:11:04.386
You know as i say those things, you're picturing something.
00:11:04.453 --> 00:11:05.421
You're picturing something. that's your imagination. your
00:11:05.488 --> 00:11:07.189
That's your imagination. your imagination according to the
00:11:07.256 --> 00:11:08.524
Imagination according to the dictionary, again, one of the
00:11:08.591 --> 00:11:09.825
Dictionary, again, one of the dictionary definitions
00:11:09.892 --> 00:11:11.227
Dictionary definitions is fantasy. that's not
00:11:11.293 --> 00:11:13.028
Is fantasy. that's not what i'm talking about.
00:11:13.095 --> 00:11:14.296
But the dictionary will define
00:11:14.363 --> 00:11:15.898
But the dictionary will define imagination as your ability to
00:11:15.965 --> 00:11:18.134
Imagination as your ability to picture something in your mind's
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.503
Picture something in your mind's eye that isn't real, that's
00:11:20.569 --> 00:11:23.539
Eye that isn't real, that's fantasy, or present. in other
00:11:23.606 --> 00:11:26.375
Fantasy, or present. in other words, something that you can't
00:11:26.442 --> 00:11:28.110
Words, something that you can't see. if i was to say what's your
00:11:28.177 --> 00:11:30.780
House like; how many outside
00:11:30.846 --> 00:11:33.482
House like; how many outside doors do you have in the place
00:11:33.549 --> 00:11:36.519
Doors do you have in the place that you live? did you know most
00:11:36.585 --> 00:11:38.320
That you live? did you know most of you haven't actually sat down
00:11:38.387 --> 00:11:40.189
Of you haven't actually sat down and counted those, unless say
00:11:40.256 --> 00:11:41.791
And counted those, unless say for instance you've had some
00:11:41.857 --> 00:11:42.825
For instance you've had some work done and you had to replace
00:11:42.892 --> 00:11:44.560
Work done and you had to replace the doors or something like
00:11:44.627 --> 00:11:46.228
The doors or something like that. but did you know if i was
00:11:46.295 --> 00:11:47.863
That. but did you know if i was to ask you that question, you
00:11:47.930 --> 00:11:49.131
To ask you that question, you could tell me because in your
00:11:49.198 --> 00:11:51.367
Could tell me because in your mind you could picture your
00:11:51.433 --> 00:11:53.302
Mind you could picture your house, the apartment, or the
00:11:53.369 --> 00:11:54.637
House, the apartment, or the place that you live, and you
00:11:54.703 --> 00:11:56.338
Place that you live, and you could count those doors. maybe
00:11:56.405 --> 00:11:57.973
Could count those doors. maybe if you live in an apartment or
00:11:58.040 --> 00:11:59.341
If you live in an apartment or something, you only have one
00:11:59.408 --> 00:12:00.676
Something, you only have one door, but i could ask you how
00:12:00.743 --> 00:12:01.944
Door, but i could ask you how many windows do you have? you
00:12:02.011 --> 00:12:03.445
Many windows do you have? you could go around, and you could
00:12:03.512 --> 00:12:04.613
Could go around, and you could count and tell me those things,
00:12:04.680 --> 00:12:06.482
Count and tell me those things, and you aren't looking at it. if
00:12:06.549 --> 00:12:08.384
And you aren't looking at it. if i asked you for directions to
00:12:08.450 --> 00:12:09.885
I asked you for directions to the airport and i said, how do
00:12:09.952 --> 00:12:11.954
The airport and i said, how do you get from here to the
00:12:12.021 --> 00:12:13.055
You get from here to the airport? you could tell me, well
00:12:13.122 --> 00:12:14.323
Airport? you could tell me, well you go out here and you... you
00:12:14.390 --> 00:12:15.825
You go out here and you... you come to the first stop sign, you
00:12:15.891 --> 00:12:17.459
Come to the first stop sign, you turn left, you'll go down here,
00:12:17.526 --> 00:12:18.994
Turn left, you'll go down here, there's... let's see, one, two,
00:12:19.061 --> 00:12:20.596
There's... let's see, one, two, three red lights and you'll turn
00:12:20.663 --> 00:12:22.598
Three red lights and you'll turn and you do... you're looking and
00:12:22.665 --> 00:12:24.366
And you do... you're looking and you're seeing all of these
00:12:24.433 --> 00:12:25.434
You're seeing all of these things. did you know you
00:12:25.501 --> 00:12:26.569
Things. did you know you couldn't get home without using
00:12:26.635 --> 00:12:30.105
Couldn't get home without using a gps, without using your
00:12:30.172 --> 00:12:32.575
A gps, without using your imagination? but once you've
00:12:32.641 --> 00:12:34.410
Imagination? but once you've traveled a distance a number of
00:12:34.476 --> 00:12:36.212
Traveled a distance a number of times, you can see all of these
00:12:36.278 --> 00:12:38.514
Times, you can see all of these things and you see it in your
00:12:38.581 --> 00:12:40.182
Things and you see it in your imagination. and you could tell
00:12:40.249 --> 00:12:42.384
Imagination. and you could tell me, you could describe it, and
00:12:42.451 --> 00:12:43.586
Me, you could describe it, and you could say that on this
00:12:43.652 --> 00:12:44.620
You could say that on this corner there's this store,
00:12:44.687 --> 00:12:46.255
Corner there's this store, there's this restaurant,
00:12:46.322 --> 00:12:47.489
There's this restaurant, there's, you know this
00:12:47.556 --> 00:12:49.158
There's, you know this supermarket, or a gas station
00:12:49.225 --> 00:12:52.161
Supermarket, or a gas station and you could tell me what's
00:12:52.228 --> 00:12:53.229
And you could tell me what's there. and you aren't seeing it
00:12:53.295 --> 00:12:54.730
There. and you aren't seeing it but you're seeing it in your
00:12:54.797 --> 00:12:55.865
But you're seeing it in your imagination. what i'm trying to
00:12:55.931 --> 00:12:58.968
Imagination. what i'm trying to do is just ex... explain that
00:12:59.034 --> 00:13:01.737
Do is just ex... explain that you can't function without an
00:13:01.804 --> 00:13:03.706
You can't function without an imagination. you wouldn't know
00:13:03.772 --> 00:13:06.175
Imagination. you wouldn't know how to get home. you wouldn't
00:13:06.242 --> 00:13:07.343
How to get home. you wouldn't know how to find your car. you
00:13:07.409 --> 00:13:08.711
Know how to find your car. you wouldn't know how to answer
00:13:08.777 --> 00:13:10.246
Wouldn't know how to answer questions. you wouldn't know how
00:13:10.312 --> 00:13:11.447
Questions. you wouldn't know how to give directions. you use your
00:13:11.513 --> 00:13:14.016
To give directions. you use your imagination constantly. you know
00:13:14.083 --> 00:13:17.019
Imagination constantly. you know jamie and i one time, the... one
00:13:17.086 --> 00:13:18.621
Jamie and i one time, the... one of the first times we went over
00:13:18.687 --> 00:13:20.022
Of the first times we went over to england we went into a
00:13:20.089 --> 00:13:22.057
To england we went into a grocery store to buy water. and
00:13:22.124 --> 00:13:24.159
Grocery store to buy water. and did you know in the united
00:13:24.226 --> 00:13:25.261
Did you know in the united states there is typically a way
00:13:25.327 --> 00:13:28.264
States there is typically a way that they set up their
00:13:28.330 --> 00:13:29.265
That they set up their supermarkets. not all of them
00:13:29.331 --> 00:13:30.900
Supermarkets. not all of them are the same, but it's kind of
00:13:30.966 --> 00:13:32.635
Are the same, but it's kind of typical that when you go into
00:13:32.701 --> 00:13:34.703
Typical that when you go into the... the average supermarkets
00:13:34.770 --> 00:13:36.639
The... the average supermarkets that we use, you know, most of
00:13:36.705 --> 00:13:39.208
That we use, you know, most of the fruit and things like this
00:13:39.275 --> 00:13:40.676
The fruit and things like this are over on the right hand side
00:13:40.743 --> 00:13:42.311
Are over on the right hand side as you first enter in. and there
00:13:42.378 --> 00:13:44.179
As you first enter in. and there is a way that they do things.
00:13:44.246 --> 00:13:46.215
Is a way that they do things. well, in the uk, they not only
00:13:46.282 --> 00:13:50.019
Well, in the uk, they not only drive on the left side of the
00:13:50.085 --> 00:13:51.320
Drive on the left side of the road instead of the right side
00:13:51.387 --> 00:13:52.588
Road instead of the right side of the road the way we do, but
00:13:52.655 --> 00:13:54.556
Of the road the way we do, but when we went in to buy water,
00:13:54.623 --> 00:13:56.091
When we went in to buy water, the water was exactly opposite
00:13:56.158 --> 00:13:58.661
The water was exactly opposite where we would've expected it to
00:13:58.727 --> 00:14:00.262
Where we would've expected it to be. and i bet it took us 30
00:14:00.329 --> 00:14:01.931
Be. and i bet it took us 30 minutes to walk up and down
00:14:01.997 --> 00:14:03.132
Minutes to walk up and down every aisle and find that water.
00:14:03.198 --> 00:14:05.034
Every aisle and find that water. whereas if... you know it's
00:14:05.100 --> 00:14:06.602
Whereas if... you know it's because we had a picture in our
00:14:06.669 --> 00:14:09.071
Because we had a picture in our mind of where we thought it
00:14:09.138 --> 00:14:10.372
Mind of where we thought it should be based on experiences
00:14:10.439 --> 00:14:12.408
Should be based on experiences that we'd had, and over in the
00:14:12.474 --> 00:14:13.909
That we'd had, and over in the uk it was different. i tell you
00:14:13.976 --> 00:14:15.678
Uk it was different. i tell you the first time i ever drove a
00:14:15.744 --> 00:14:16.946
The first time i ever drove a car over in the uk, it'll mess
00:14:17.012 --> 00:14:18.914
Car over in the uk, it'll mess with your mind a little bit to
00:14:18.981 --> 00:14:20.482
With your mind a little bit to come out. i... i flew into
00:14:20.549 --> 00:14:22.618
Come out. i... i flew into gatwick, which is south of
00:14:22.685 --> 00:14:25.254
Gatwick, which is south of london, and i rented a car, and
00:14:25.321 --> 00:14:27.589
London, and i rented a car, and i drove in to heathrow airport
00:14:27.656 --> 00:14:31.093
I drove in to heathrow airport during rush hour and i mean, it
00:14:31.160 --> 00:14:34.163
During rush hour and i mean, it was wild to pick up somebody
00:14:34.229 --> 00:14:36.098
Was wild to pick up somebody else it had landed. that's the
00:14:36.165 --> 00:14:37.700
Else it had landed. that's the first time i'd ever driven on
00:14:37.766 --> 00:14:39.068
First time i'd ever driven on the left hand side of the road.
00:14:39.134 --> 00:14:40.703
The left hand side of the road. and i tell you what, it took an
00:14:40.769 --> 00:14:42.604
And i tell you what, it took an adjustment because of the way
00:14:42.671 --> 00:14:44.974
Adjustment because of the way that you think, the way we
00:14:45.040 --> 00:14:46.608
That you think, the way we picture things. anyway, my point
00:14:46.675 --> 00:14:49.411
Picture things. anyway, my point in all of this is it says that
00:14:49.478 --> 00:14:51.146
In all of this is it says that they became vain in their
00:14:51.213 --> 00:14:53.349
They became vain in their imaginations. it doesn't mean
00:14:53.415 --> 00:14:54.950
Imaginations. it doesn't mean that your imagination doesn't
00:14:55.017 --> 00:14:56.385
That your imagination doesn't work, but it starts working
00:14:56.452 --> 00:14:57.953
Work, but it starts working against you. if you don't place
00:14:58.020 --> 00:14:59.922
Against you. if you don't place the proper value on god, and if
00:14:59.989 --> 00:15:02.191
The proper value on god, and if you don't exalt his opinion and
00:15:02.257 --> 00:15:04.960
You don't exalt his opinion and his love for us more than the
00:15:05.027 --> 00:15:06.962
His love for us more than the love, you... you become more
00:15:07.029 --> 00:15:08.497
Love, you... you become more codependent upon people than you
00:15:08.564 --> 00:15:10.666
Codependent upon people than you do upon god. if you do that and
00:15:10.733 --> 00:15:13.168
Do upon god. if you do that and if you aren't thankful, that
00:15:13.235 --> 00:15:14.703
If you aren't thankful, that will lead you to forgetting that
00:15:14.770 --> 00:15:16.839
Will lead you to forgetting that it's god that's the source. and
00:15:16.905 --> 00:15:18.941
It's god that's the source. and all of those things if you don't
00:15:19.008 --> 00:15:20.409
All of those things if you don't do that, that will automatically
00:15:20.476 --> 00:15:23.078
Do that, that will automatically cause your imagination, not to
00:15:23.145 --> 00:15:25.280
Cause your imagination, not to quit working but it will start
00:15:25.347 --> 00:15:27.049
Quit working but it will start working against you. it will
00:15:27.116 --> 00:15:28.450
Working against you. it will become vain in your imagination.
00:15:28.517 --> 00:15:31.920
Become vain in your imagination. now a practical application of
00:15:31.987 --> 00:15:33.422
Now a practical application of what i'm talking about is the
00:15:33.489 --> 00:15:34.656
Bible says that by his stripes
00:15:34.723 --> 00:15:37.092
Bible says that by his stripes you were healed, 1 peter 2:24.
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:40.062
You were healed, 1 peter 2:24. it didn't say you're going to be
00:15:40.129 --> 00:15:41.163
It didn't say you're going to be healed. it says you were healed.
00:15:41.230 --> 00:15:42.865
Healed. it says you were healed. and you put that together with
00:15:42.931 --> 00:15:44.033
Ephesians, chapter 1, verses 18
00:15:44.099 --> 00:15:46.368
Ephesians, chapter 1, verses 18 through 23, you already have
00:15:46.435 --> 00:15:49.238
Through 23, you already have this supernatural
00:15:49.304 --> 00:15:50.239
This supernatural raising-from-the-dead power on
00:15:50.305 --> 00:15:52.975
Raising-from-the-dead power on the inside of you. it's not out
00:15:53.042 --> 00:15:54.510
The inside of you. it's not out there someplace. it's here. it's
00:15:54.576 --> 00:15:56.712
There someplace. it's here. it's inside of you. you don't have to
00:15:56.779 --> 00:15:58.313
Inside of you. you don't have to call and ask it to come down.
00:15:58.380 --> 00:16:00.115
Call and ask it to come down. you've got to release it by
00:16:00.182 --> 00:16:02.184
You've got to release it by believing. how do you do that?
00:16:02.251 --> 00:16:04.019
Believing. how do you do that? part of that is you have to see
00:16:04.086 --> 00:16:06.188
Part of that is you have to see yourself well. and see, this
00:16:06.255 --> 00:16:08.957
Yourself well. and see, this again is your imagination.
00:16:09.024 --> 00:16:11.393
Hebrews, chapter 11, verse 1,
00:16:11.460 --> 00:16:13.195
Hebrews, chapter 11, verse 1, says, now faith is the substance
00:16:13.262 --> 00:16:16.031
Says, now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
00:16:16.098 --> 00:16:17.599
Of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. it
00:16:17.666 --> 00:16:20.402
Didn't say things that don't
00:16:20.469 --> 00:16:21.637
Didn't say things that don't exist. they do exist but they're
00:16:21.703 --> 00:16:23.272
Exist. they do exist but they're in the spiritual realm. in us
00:16:23.338 --> 00:16:25.841
In the spiritual realm. in us personally we have christ living
00:16:25.908 --> 00:16:28.010
Personally we have christ living on the inside of us, and we have
00:16:28.077 --> 00:16:30.079
On the inside of us, and we have to see this power that god has
00:16:30.145 --> 00:16:33.315
To see this power that god has given us manifesting and working
00:16:33.382 --> 00:16:36.018
Given us manifesting and working and producing the healing that
00:16:36.085 --> 00:16:37.753
And producing the healing that we're believing for in our body.
00:16:37.820 --> 00:16:40.489
We're believing for in our body. and did you know you can't do
00:16:40.556 --> 00:16:41.790
And did you know you can't do that without your imagination.
00:16:41.857 --> 00:16:44.126
And there are some people that
00:16:46.228 --> 00:16:47.096
And there are some people that think, well i just deal in
00:16:47.162 --> 00:16:48.597
Think, well i just deal in reality. did you know that
00:16:48.664 --> 00:16:50.566
Reality. did you know that there's more to reality than
00:16:50.632 --> 00:16:52.367
There's more to reality than what you can see, taste, hear,
00:16:52.434 --> 00:16:54.069
What you can see, taste, hear, smell, and feel, than... more
00:16:54.136 --> 00:16:55.404
Smell, and feel, than... more than your five senses can come
00:16:55.471 --> 00:16:57.072
Than your five senses can come up with. did you know right now
00:16:57.139 --> 00:16:59.074
Up with. did you know right now there's many people that are
00:16:59.141 --> 00:17:00.142
There's many people that are watching me on television, and
00:17:00.209 --> 00:17:02.511
Watching me on television, and there are some people that have
00:17:02.578 --> 00:17:03.912
There are some people that have a cable that actually delivers
00:17:03.979 --> 00:17:06.081
A cable that actually delivers the signal directly to your
00:17:06.148 --> 00:17:07.783
The signal directly to your television set. but many people
00:17:07.850 --> 00:17:10.085
Television set. but many people it's a satellite broadcast. and
00:17:10.152 --> 00:17:12.454
It's a satellite broadcast. and did you know that you can't see
00:17:12.521 --> 00:17:13.989
Did you know that you can't see those signals that are coming
00:17:14.056 --> 00:17:15.324
Those signals that are coming through the air. but they're
00:17:15.390 --> 00:17:17.593
Through the air. but they're there. and if you say no, they
00:17:17.659 --> 00:17:19.661
There. and if you say no, they aren't there bec... why? because
00:17:19.728 --> 00:17:20.996
Aren't there bec... why? because i can't see them. i can't feel
00:17:21.063 --> 00:17:22.498
I can't see them. i can't feel them. did you know that that
00:17:22.564 --> 00:17:24.433
Them. did you know that that doesn't mean that they aren't
00:17:24.500 --> 00:17:25.534
Doesn't mean that they aren't there. it just means that you
00:17:25.601 --> 00:17:26.602
There. it just means that you are very smart. wherever you are
00:17:26.668 --> 00:17:29.004
Are very smart. wherever you are right now, in whatever room if
00:17:29.071 --> 00:17:30.639
Right now, in whatever room if you're at home or wherever you
00:17:30.706 --> 00:17:32.241
You're at home or wherever you are, if you're watching on a
00:17:32.307 --> 00:17:33.609
Are, if you're watching on a mobile device, did you know that
00:17:33.675 --> 00:17:35.644
Mobile device, did you know that there are all kinds of radio and
00:17:35.711 --> 00:17:37.846
There are all kinds of radio and television signals, wi-fi
00:17:37.913 --> 00:17:39.848
Television signals, wi-fi signals all around you. you
00:17:39.915 --> 00:17:42.584
Signals all around you. you can't see them but they're
00:17:42.651 --> 00:17:43.819
Can't see them but they're there. and all you have to do to
00:17:43.886 --> 00:17:45.487
There. and all you have to do to prove that they're there is just
00:17:45.554 --> 00:17:46.822
Prove that they're there is just to put like, plug in a
00:17:46.889 --> 00:17:48.323
To put like, plug in a television set, and when it
00:17:48.390 --> 00:17:50.325
Television set, and when it starts broadcasting that... that
00:17:50.392 --> 00:17:53.028
Starts broadcasting that... that signal, that's not when the
00:17:53.095 --> 00:17:54.263
Signal, that's not when the signal comes. the signal is
00:17:54.329 --> 00:17:55.631
Signal comes. the signal is already there. it's just you
00:17:55.697 --> 00:17:57.566
Already there. it's just you didn't have a receiver. you
00:17:57.633 --> 00:17:58.901
Didn't have a receiver. you didn't have any way of
00:17:58.967 --> 00:17:59.701
Didn't have any way of manifesting it. but see there...
00:17:59.768 --> 00:18:01.570
Manifesting it. but see there... the point i'm making is there's
00:18:01.637 --> 00:18:02.704
The point i'm making is there's things going on that you can't
00:18:02.771 --> 00:18:05.073
Things going on that you can't see. and in the spiritual realm,
00:18:05.140 --> 00:18:07.809
See. and in the spiritual realm, you have to believe that
00:18:07.876 --> 00:18:09.378
You have to believe that you receive when you pray.
00:18:09.444 --> 00:18:11.246
Mark, chapter 11, verse 24,
00:18:11.313 --> 00:18:13.148
Mark, chapter 11, verse 24, says that. whatsoever
00:18:13.215 --> 00:18:14.183
Says that. whatsoever things you desire, when
00:18:14.249 --> 00:18:15.884
Things you desire, when you pray, believe that you
00:18:15.951 --> 00:18:17.352
You pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have
00:18:17.419 --> 00:18:19.955
Receive them, and you shall have them. shall is future tense. it
00:18:20.022 --> 00:18:22.357
Might only be a second or two,
00:18:22.424 --> 00:18:23.792
Might only be a second or two, or it could be a day or a week
00:18:23.859 --> 00:18:25.360
Or it could be a day or a week or a year, but you have to
00:18:25.427 --> 00:18:26.495
Or a year, but you have to believe you receive when you
00:18:26.562 --> 00:18:28.297
Believe you receive when you pray, not when you see it. how
00:18:28.363 --> 00:18:31.066
Pray, not when you see it. how can you do that? that's where
00:18:31.133 --> 00:18:33.502
Can you do that? that's where your imagination comes in. you
00:18:33.569 --> 00:18:35.137
Your imagination comes in. you have to see yourself healed. you
00:18:35.204 --> 00:18:38.607
Have to see yourself healed. you have to take what god's word
00:18:38.674 --> 00:18:40.542
Have to take what god's word says and let it paint a picture
00:18:40.609 --> 00:18:43.512
Says and let it paint a picture on the inside of you. before you
00:18:43.579 --> 00:18:45.914
On the inside of you. before you can see it in your body, before
00:18:45.981 --> 00:18:47.616
Can see it in your body, before you can see it in your bank
00:18:47.683 --> 00:18:49.017
You can see it in your bank account, before you can re...
00:18:49.084 --> 00:18:50.752
Account, before you can re... see it in your marriage or in
00:18:50.819 --> 00:18:53.322
See it in your marriage or in the relationship that you're
00:18:53.388 --> 00:18:54.656
The relationship that you're praying about, you have to be
00:18:54.723 --> 00:18:56.692
Praying about, you have to be able to see yourself prospering.
00:18:56.758 --> 00:19:00.462
Able to see yourself prospering. you have to be able to see the
00:19:00.529 --> 00:19:02.231
You have to be able to see the promises of god's word coming to
00:19:02.297 --> 00:19:05.100
Promises of god's word coming to pass in your life. and i tell
00:19:05.167 --> 00:19:08.003
Pass in your life. and i tell you this takes effort for you to
00:19:08.070 --> 00:19:10.606
You this takes effort for you to use your imagination in a
00:19:10.672 --> 00:19:12.641
Use your imagination in a positive way. to use it in a
00:19:12.708 --> 00:19:14.576
Positive way. to use it in a negative way, we've been so
00:19:14.643 --> 00:19:16.578
Negative way, we've been so trained in this, so grilled into
00:19:16.645 --> 00:19:19.147
Trained in this, so grilled into it that i guarantee you most
00:19:19.214 --> 00:19:20.649
It that i guarantee you most people don't have any problem at
00:19:20.716 --> 00:19:22.084
People don't have any problem at all with your imagination being
00:19:22.150 --> 00:19:23.719
All with your imagination being vain, as it says here in romans
00:19:23.785 --> 00:19:27.189
Vain, as it says here in romans 1:21. we can let our imagination
00:19:27.256 --> 00:19:30.325
1:21. we can let our imagination just go wild seeing us dying. if
00:19:30.392 --> 00:19:32.694
Just go wild seeing us dying. if the doctor says that you've got
00:19:32.761 --> 00:19:34.296
The doctor says that you've got something, we immediately start
00:19:34.363 --> 00:19:36.665
Something, we immediately start seeing and thinking about our
00:19:36.732 --> 00:19:38.367
Seeing and thinking about our funeral and what songs are they
00:19:38.433 --> 00:19:40.235
Funeral and what songs are they going to be singing. what are
00:19:40.302 --> 00:19:41.737
Going to be singing. what are they going to say about me when
00:19:41.803 --> 00:19:43.205
They going to say about me when i'm laying there in the casket,
00:19:43.272 --> 00:19:44.873
I'm laying there in the casket, we can imagine all of that. but
00:19:44.940 --> 00:19:47.109
We can imagine all of that. but to see ourself well, there's
00:19:47.175 --> 00:19:49.444
To see ourself well, there's people will think, well that's
00:19:49.511 --> 00:19:50.612
People will think, well that's just kind of childish. you know
00:19:50.679 --> 00:19:52.314
Just kind of childish. you know that's fantasy. i'm just dealing
00:19:52.381 --> 00:19:54.149
That's fantasy. i'm just dealing in reality. no, your imagination
00:19:54.216 --> 00:19:56.652
In reality. no, your imagination is either working for you, it's
00:19:56.718 --> 00:19:58.387
Is either working for you, it's a positive imagination, or it's
00:19:58.453 --> 00:20:00.122
A positive imagination, or it's a vain imagination, but you
00:20:00.188 --> 00:20:02.424
A vain imagination, but you can't turn it off. you are
00:20:02.491 --> 00:20:04.593
Can't turn it off. you are seeing... you'll... you are
00:20:04.660 --> 00:20:06.228
Seeing... you'll... you are seeing yourself succeed or not.
00:20:06.295 --> 00:20:08.797
Seeing yourself succeed or not. did you know every one of you
00:20:08.864 --> 00:20:10.032
Did you know every one of you watching this program, you have
00:20:10.098 --> 00:20:11.566
Watching this program, you have a image of who you are, not just
00:20:11.633 --> 00:20:15.203
A image of who you are, not just in your physical body, you know
00:20:15.270 --> 00:20:16.605
In your physical body, you know about whether you're overweight,
00:20:16.672 --> 00:20:17.973
About whether you're overweight, skinny, tall, short, things like
00:20:18.040 --> 00:20:20.108
Skinny, tall, short, things like that. but i'm saying you have an
00:20:20.175 --> 00:20:21.543
That. but i'm saying you have an image of who you are and what
00:20:21.610 --> 00:20:24.913
Image of who you are and what you can do. you either see
00:20:24.980 --> 00:20:26.381
You can do. you either see yourself as a person who's on
00:20:26.448 --> 00:20:28.250
Yourself as a person who's on top that can handle things, that
00:20:28.317 --> 00:20:31.286
Top that can handle things, that you have a confidence and things
00:20:31.353 --> 00:20:33.689
You have a confidence and things like that, or you see yourself
00:20:33.755 --> 00:20:35.524
Like that, or you see yourself as i'm just... nothing that
00:20:35.590 --> 00:20:37.025
As i'm just... nothing that works for me. if i wash my car,
00:20:37.092 --> 00:20:39.194
Works for me. if i wash my car, it could be, you know, go weeks
00:20:39.261 --> 00:20:41.129
It could be, you know, go weeks without ever raining but if i
00:20:41.196 --> 00:20:42.698
Without ever raining but if i wash my car, it'll rain for
00:20:42.764 --> 00:20:44.499
Wash my car, it'll rain for sure. whatever i do, i'm just
00:20:44.566 --> 00:20:46.668
Sure. whatever i do, i'm just cursed. nothing works. you know
00:20:46.735 --> 00:20:48.570
Cursed. nothing works. you know what that is? that's an image.
00:20:48.637 --> 00:20:50.806
What that is? that's an image. you know if i was to ask you if
00:20:50.872 --> 00:20:52.007
You know if i was to ask you if i was going to meet you
00:20:52.074 --> 00:20:53.241
I was going to meet you someplace and i said, how do you
00:20:53.308 --> 00:20:54.543
Someplace and i said, how do you describe yourself? you could
00:20:54.609 --> 00:20:55.711
Describe yourself? you could describe your physical person,
00:20:55.777 --> 00:20:57.512
Describe your physical person, whether you were male or female,
00:20:57.579 --> 00:20:59.414
Whether you were male or female, tall, short, what... all those
00:20:59.481 --> 00:21:00.882
Tall, short, what... all those kind of things. you could
00:21:00.949 --> 00:21:02.184
Kind of things. you could probably describe your
00:21:02.250 --> 00:21:03.485
Probably describe your personality that, oh, i'm an
00:21:03.552 --> 00:21:05.053
Personality that, oh, i'm an outgoing person, you... i
00:21:05.120 --> 00:21:07.089
Outgoing person, you... i will... you will know me, or
00:21:07.155 --> 00:21:08.790
Will... you will know me, or whatever. but if you were to
00:21:08.857 --> 00:21:10.792
Whatever. but if you were to describe what you're like in the
00:21:10.859 --> 00:21:13.895
Describe what you're like in the spirit, what you have in christ,
00:21:13.962 --> 00:21:16.498
Spirit, what you have in christ, most of us haven't gone
00:21:16.565 --> 00:21:18.300
Most of us haven't gone there. we haven't let
00:21:18.367 --> 00:21:19.234
There. we haven't let the word of god paint a
00:21:19.301 --> 00:21:21.603
The word of god paint a picture on the inside of us.
00:21:21.670 --> 00:21:23.672
>> for as long as i can
00:21:24.673 --> 00:21:25.741
Remember, i was permeated by the
00:21:25.741 --> 00:21:28.143
Message that i was not good
00:21:28.143 --> 00:21:29.578
Enough. then my father died when
00:21:29.578 --> 00:21:31.880
I was eight years old. i spent
00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:33.915
Many subsequent years feeling
00:21:33.915 --> 00:21:35.851
Inadequate. i was very angry and
00:21:35.851 --> 00:21:38.754
Hurt and felt misunderstood. i
00:21:38.754 --> 00:21:41.289
Got married at 26 and after a
00:21:41.289 --> 00:21:43.625
Few good years, life became hard
00:21:43.625 --> 00:21:45.794
Again. the messages i had lived
00:21:45.794 --> 00:21:48.296
With continue to cause confusion
00:21:48.296 --> 00:21:50.465
And pain. ultimately, my
00:21:50.465 --> 00:21:52.601
Marriage ended and i was left in
00:21:52.601 --> 00:21:54.836
A very broken and bad place. i
00:21:54.836 --> 00:21:57.739
Had absolutely no idea who i
00:21:57.739 --> 00:22:00.275
Was. i heard about andrew
00:22:00.275 --> 00:22:02.477
Wommack from a dear friend who
00:22:02.477 --> 00:22:04.179
Was a student at the charis

Extension school in warsaw,
00:22:05.947 --> 00:22:07.716
England, and loved hearing what
00:22:07.716 --> 00:22:09.851
She was learning. i read the
00:22:09.851 --> 00:22:11.653
Believer's authority and spirit,
00:22:11.653 --> 00:22:13.789
Soul and body, and became
00:22:13.789 --> 00:22:15.824
Interested in attending charis

Business summit at our school,
00:22:20.095 --> 00:22:21.997
Which ignited a desire in me to
00:22:21.997 --> 00:22:24.132
Come to the main campus in
00:22:24.132 --> 00:22:25.634

Me since before charis to

Now is knowing who i am
00:22:32.107 --> 00:22:34.342
In christ. i'm more confident.
00:22:34.342 --> 00:22:37.245
I'm more secure. i'm more
00:22:37.245 --> 00:22:39.181
Relaxed. i'm just walking
00:22:39.181 --> 00:22:42.117
Out who i'm supposed to be.

00:25:07.095 --> 00:25:08.430
This went on for three years.
00:25:08.430 --> 00:25:11.700

00:25:29.584 --> 00:25:30.952
>> so i was home a lot,
00:25:30.952 --> 00:25:32.554

Tv on and it would constantly
00:25:33.555 --> 00:25:35.423
Play every ministry possible.
00:25:35.423 --> 00:25:37.859
Well, this man came on,
00:25:37.859 --> 00:25:39.828
And i don't know what the
00:25:39.828 --> 00:25:41.396
Teaching was, but there was
00:25:41.396 --> 00:25:43.031
Something about it though that
00:25:43.031 --> 00:25:44.666
Was really like just caught me.
00:25:44.666 --> 00:25:46.701
There was a two week period

Where i was like, that's it. i
00:25:48.470 --> 00:25:50.171
Am not moving out of this house.
00:25:50.171 --> 00:25:52.173
I'm canceling everything and i'm
00:25:52.173 --> 00:25:54.442
Just going to listen. i started
00:25:54.442 --> 00:25:56.645
Walking through my hallways and
00:25:56.645 --> 00:25:58.380
I'm telling you, if my dogs
00:25:58.380 --> 00:25:59.648
Could talk, what they witnessed,
00:25:59.648 --> 00:26:01.316
I walked through those hallways
00:26:01.316 --> 00:26:03.151
Going in the name of jesus, stop
00:26:03.151 --> 00:26:05.520
Being numb. numbness, you are
00:26:05.520 --> 00:26:07.756
Dead. you get out of my body now
00:26:07.756 --> 00:26:09.991
In the name of jesus. get out of
00:26:09.991 --> 00:26:12.093
My body. pain, back pain, get
00:26:12.093 --> 00:26:14.763
Out of my body, whatever it was,
00:26:14.763 --> 00:26:17.565
Headache, you know, brain, you
00:26:17.565 --> 00:26:19.467
Are a perfect brain. god gave me
00:26:19.467 --> 00:26:20.869
A perfect brain. you need to
00:26:20.869 --> 00:26:22.037
Function the way you were made.
00:26:22.037 --> 00:26:23.304
I don't care what's been spoken
00:26:23.304 --> 00:26:25.206
Over me, what anybody told me,
00:26:25.206 --> 00:26:27.809
What anybody said i had in the
00:26:27.809 --> 00:26:29.144
Name of jesus, i rebuke all of
00:26:29.144 --> 00:26:30.945
That. and body, you come back to
00:26:30.945 --> 00:26:32.647

Outside. it was teaching me
00:26:38.787 --> 00:26:41.122
About who i was in christ, and
00:26:41.122 --> 00:26:43.792
