>> joyce: well, in the world, happiness is based
00:00:39.596 --> 00:00:40.230
>> joyce: well, in the world, happiness is based on what's happening.
00:00:40.296 --> 00:00:42.432
Happiness is based on what's happening. but in the kingdom,
00:00:42.499 --> 00:00:44.501
On what's happening. but in the kingdom, it's not that way.
00:00:44.567 --> 00:00:48.271
But in the kingdom, it's not that way. he says you're happy if you
00:00:48.338 --> 00:00:49.272
It's not that way. he says you're happy if you suffer for righteousness' sake.
00:00:49.339 --> 00:00:54.811
He says you're happy if you suffer for righteousness' sake. jesus said we'd be happy
00:00:54.878 --> 00:00:56.479
Suffer for righteousness' sake. jesus said we'd be happy if we served other people.
00:00:56.546 --> 00:01:00.717
Jesus said we'd be happy if we served other people. matter of fact,
00:01:00.783 --> 00:01:01.384
If we served other people. matter of fact, he said, "forget yourself."
00:01:01.451 --> 00:01:07.891
Matter of fact, he said, "forget yourself." wow.
00:01:07.957 --> 00:01:10.093
He said, "forget yourself." wow. "lose sight of yourself

Wow. "lose sight of yourself and all your own interests.
00:01:11.194 --> 00:01:13.062
"lose sight of yourself and all your own interests. serve others."
00:01:13.129 --> 00:01:16.366
But the world would say
00:01:16.432 --> 00:01:17.333
But the world would say we can only be happy
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:18.434
But the world would say we can only be happy if everybody's serving us.
00:01:18.501 --> 00:01:24.307
We can only be happy if everybody's serving us. oh, your flesh don't like
00:01:24.374 --> 00:01:25.441
If everybody's serving us. oh, your flesh don't like it when you serve other people,
00:01:25.508 --> 00:01:28.444
Oh, your flesh don't like it when you serve other people, but your spirit does.
00:01:28.511 --> 00:01:31.948
It when you serve other people, but your spirit does. and if you're happy
00:01:32.015 --> 00:01:32.882
But your spirit does. and if you're happy enough inside,
00:01:32.949 --> 00:01:33.583
And if you're happy enough inside, it'll get to the outside.
00:01:33.650 --> 00:01:37.754
Enough inside, it'll get to the outside. amen?
00:01:37.820 --> 00:01:38.388

It says "he took off his garment--"
00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:45.555
It says "he took off his garment--" which kind of means he took

Peter said, "no, lord, you must never wash my feet." and i love what jesus said,
00:03:01.904 --> 00:03:04.007
You must never wash my feet." and i love what jesus said, and boy, do we need to get this.
00:03:04.073 --> 00:03:05.875
And i love what jesus said, and boy, do we need to get this. he said, "if i don't

00:03:08.845 --> 00:03:12.615
So, now, listen, you know
00:03:12.682 --> 00:03:13.549
So, now, listen, you know what that really means?
00:03:13.616 --> 00:03:15.451
So, now, listen, you know what that really means? we don't really have
00:03:15.518 --> 00:03:16.552
What that really means? we don't really have relationship if we're not
00:03:16.619 --> 00:03:19.989
We don't really have relationship if we're not doing things for one another,
00:03:20.056 --> 00:03:24.661
Relationship if we're not doing things for one another, if we're not serving one
00:03:24.727 --> 00:03:26.129
Doing things for one another, if we're not serving one another and helping one another.
00:03:26.195 --> 00:03:31.901
Serving other people
00:03:32.535 --> 00:03:33.236
Serving other people is not a belittling thing.
00:03:33.303 --> 00:03:34.837
Serving other people is not a belittling thing. it's a great thing.
00:03:34.904 --> 00:03:36.205
Is not a belittling thing. it's a great thing. jesus said, "the greatest of all
00:03:36.272 --> 00:03:37.840
It's a great thing. jesus said, "the greatest of all is the servant of all."
00:03:37.907 --> 00:03:42.078
Jesus said, "the greatest of all is the servant of all." probably the most famous sermon,
00:03:42.145 --> 00:03:43.613
Is the servant of all." probably the most famous sermon, is what we call
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:44.280
Probably the most famous sermon, is what we call "the sermon on the mount."
00:03:44.347 --> 00:03:48.885
Is what we call "the sermon on the mount." and i'm gonna read it to you.
00:03:48.951 --> 00:03:50.186
"the sermon on the mount." and i'm gonna read it to you. it's just--
00:03:50.253 --> 00:03:50.620
And i'm gonna read it to you. it's just-- it's really beautiful.
00:03:50.687 --> 00:03:51.954
It's just-- it's really beautiful. and i'll tell you what i think
00:03:52.021 --> 00:03:53.189
It's really beautiful. and i'll tell you what i think each one of these mean.
00:03:53.256 --> 00:03:54.891
And i'll tell you what i think each one of these mean. "blessed is the poor
00:03:54.957 --> 00:03:56.693
Each one of these mean. "blessed is the poor in spirit, for theirs
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:57.660
"blessed is the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
00:03:57.727 --> 00:03:59.162
In spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." i believe that's the humble.
00:03:59.228 --> 00:04:04.167
Is the kingdom of heaven." i believe that's the humble. and humility is the hardest
00:04:04.233 --> 00:04:06.402
I believe that's the humble. and humility is the hardest of all the virtues to come
00:04:06.469 --> 00:04:08.404
And humility is the hardest of all the virtues to come by and maintain.
00:04:08.471 --> 00:04:11.507
Of all the virtues to come by and maintain. the absolute hardest.
00:04:11.574 --> 00:04:19.415
By and maintain. the absolute hardest. "blessed are those who mourn,
00:04:19.482 --> 00:04:20.950
The absolute hardest. "blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."
00:04:21.017 --> 00:04:22.585
"blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." i think that's those who
00:04:22.652 --> 00:04:25.822
For they will be comforted." i think that's those who mourn over their sin,
00:04:25.888 --> 00:04:26.889
I think that's those who mourn over their sin, they hate it when they sin.
00:04:26.956 --> 00:04:31.160
Mourn over their sin, they hate it when they sin. thank god we don't have
00:04:31.227 --> 00:04:32.261
They hate it when they sin. thank god we don't have to feel guilty over our sin.
00:04:32.328 --> 00:04:35.798
Thank god we don't have to feel guilty over our sin. but makes me feel bad when
00:04:35.865 --> 00:04:40.436
To feel guilty over our sin. but makes me feel bad when i disappoint the lord.
00:04:40.503 --> 00:04:47.443
But makes me feel bad when i disappoint the lord. "blessed are the meek, for
00:04:47.510 --> 00:04:48.878
I disappoint the lord. "blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth."
00:04:48.945 --> 00:04:51.981
"blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." a meek person is not
00:04:52.048 --> 00:04:53.249
They will inherit the earth." a meek person is not a weak person.
00:04:53.316 --> 00:04:55.284
A meek person is not a weak person. it's a person who actually
00:04:55.351 --> 00:04:57.820
A weak person. it's a person who actually has a lot of strength,
00:04:57.887 --> 00:04:59.155
It's a person who actually has a lot of strength, but they can keep
00:04:59.222 --> 00:04:59.956
Has a lot of strength, but they can keep it under control.
00:05:00.022 --> 00:05:02.325
A meek person is somebody
00:05:02.392 --> 00:05:03.926
A meek person is somebody who could do something,
00:05:03.993 --> 00:05:06.929
A meek person is somebody who could do something, but they're also
00:05:06.996 --> 00:05:09.766
Who could do something, but they're also willing to wait on god.
00:05:09.832 --> 00:05:12.101
But they're also willing to wait on god. i'll give you an example.
00:05:12.168 --> 00:05:13.102
Willing to wait on god. i'll give you an example. when jesus was in the garden
00:05:13.169 --> 00:05:16.439
I'll give you an example. when jesus was in the garden and the soldiers came
00:05:16.506 --> 00:05:17.473
When jesus was in the garden and the soldiers came in and peter, right away,
00:05:17.540 --> 00:05:19.609
And the soldiers came in and peter, right away, jumped, got his sword,
00:05:19.675 --> 00:05:21.043
In and peter, right away, jumped, got his sword, and cut off one
00:05:21.110 --> 00:05:21.711
Jumped, got his sword, and cut off one of the soldier's ears,
00:05:21.778 --> 00:05:24.614
And cut off one of the soldier's ears, thought he was protecting jesus.
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:26.048
Of the soldier's ears, thought he was protecting jesus. jesus put the guy's ear
00:05:26.115 --> 00:05:27.850
Thought he was protecting jesus. jesus put the guy's ear back on and said,
00:05:27.917 --> 00:05:29.619
Jesus put the guy's ear back on and said, "don't you know that i could
00:05:29.685 --> 00:05:30.820
Back on and said, "don't you know that i could call 12 legions of angels?
00:05:30.887 --> 00:05:32.688
"don't you know that i could call 12 legions of angels? but if i did that, how would
00:05:32.755 --> 00:05:34.090
Call 12 legions of angels? but if i did that, how would the word of god be fulfilled?"
00:05:34.157 --> 00:05:36.459
But if i did that, how would the word of god be fulfilled?" in other words, he was saying,
00:05:36.526 --> 00:05:37.460
The word of god be fulfilled?" in other words, he was saying, "i don't have to do this.
00:05:37.527 --> 00:05:41.998
I don't have to let these
00:05:42.064 --> 00:05:42.965
I don't have to let these people treat me this way.
00:05:43.032 --> 00:05:45.635
I don't have to let these people treat me this way. i don't have to go
00:05:45.701 --> 00:05:49.272
People treat me this way. i don't have to go to the cross."
00:05:49.338 --> 00:05:51.808
But he was meek,
00:05:53.509 --> 00:05:56.345
But he was meek, and so he was able to stay
00:05:56.412 --> 00:05:58.247
But he was meek, and so he was able to stay under the mighty hand
00:05:58.314 --> 00:05:59.248
And so he was able to stay under the mighty hand of god and let him
00:05:59.315 --> 00:06:01.884
Under the mighty hand of god and let him do what he wanted to,
00:06:01.951 --> 00:06:03.219
Of god and let him do what he wanted to, the way he wanted to do it.
00:06:03.286 --> 00:06:05.421
Do what he wanted to, the way he wanted to do it. when somebody hurts you,
00:06:05.488 --> 00:06:09.459
The way he wanted to do it. when somebody hurts you, are you meek enough
00:06:09.525 --> 00:06:13.496
When somebody hurts you, are you meek enough to forgive them and wait on god
00:06:13.563 --> 00:06:15.331
Are you meek enough to forgive them and wait on god to deal with the situation?
00:06:15.398 --> 00:06:19.502
To forgive them and wait on god to deal with the situation? or do you have to tell 'em off?
00:06:19.569 --> 00:06:21.637
To deal with the situation? or do you have to tell 'em off? >> [audience laughing]

Or do you have to tell 'em off? >> [audience laughing] >> joyce: "well, bless god.
00:06:24.507 --> 00:06:25.408

In bondage in egypt. and egypt, to me, would represent not being saved.

00:11:31.347 --> 00:11:32.648
In the wilderness. i think the wilderness is the place where we grow up,
00:11:32.715 --> 00:11:38.921
I think the wilderness is the place where we grow up, where we mature spiritually.
00:11:38.988 --> 00:11:41.290

40 years to make, what the bible says was, an 11-day trip.
00:11:45.461 --> 00:11:48.264

00:11:50.833 --> 00:11:53.702
So, to me, that would say that i can get from the baby
00:11:53.769 --> 00:11:57.673

That i can get from the baby stage of christianity to actually living

Stage of christianity to actually living in the promises of god,
00:12:03.312 --> 00:12:04.814
To actually living in the promises of god, rather than just
00:12:04.880 --> 00:12:05.514
In the promises of god, rather than just talking about them,
00:12:05.581 --> 00:12:10.553
Rather than just talking about them, more quickly if i will obey god.
00:12:10.619 --> 00:12:17.193
Now, if every time god deals
00:12:19.094 --> 00:12:21.096
Now, if every time god deals with you about something,
00:12:21.163 --> 00:12:21.964
Now, if every time god deals with you about something, it takes six years

With you about something, it takes six years to become obedient to it,
