BUT THE LORD SAYS, "YOU HAVE BEEN FAITHFUL." 27:25.273 --> 27:28.693 AND YOU STUCK IN THERE AND TOOK A STAND, OFFICER HARMON. 27:28.693 --> 27:30.344 AND I KNOW THIS BY NATURAL KNOWLEDGE, 27:30.344 --> 27:33.523 BUT YOU TOOK A STAND WHEN IT COULD HAVE MEANT A LOT OF 27:33.523 --> 27:35.594 THINGS FOR YOU AND IT COULD HAVE GONE THE OTHER WAY. 27:35.594 --> 27:38.294 BUT THE LORD SAYS, "THANK YOU," THIS COMES FROM THE 27:38.294 --> 27:41.753 HOLY ONE, "FOR TAKING A STAND FOR THE SPIRIT OF GOD." AND THE 27:41.753 --> 27:44.819 LORD SAYS, "DON'T THINK THAT I DON'T REWARD THOSE THAT STAND 27:44.819 --> 27:47.888 FOR ME." FOR JESUS SAID, "IF YOU CONFESS ME BEFORE MEN, I'LL 27:47.888 --> 27:50.799 CONFESS YOU BEFORE MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN." SO THE 27:50.799 --> 27:55.099 LORD SAYS, "GET READY, FOR THE REWARD TIME FOR THAT STAND HAS 27:55.099 --> 27:58.423 COME UNTO YOU."

AND I THINK IT'LL BE REALLY GOOD. 33:18.263 --> 33:21.473 AND I WANT TO TALK ABOUT A FEW WEEKS AGO 33:21.473 --> 33:27.943 WHEN WE WERE PLANNING OUT THE SCHEDULE FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHTS 33:27.943 --> 33:31.193 IN AUGUST. I KNEW I WANTED TO PREACH ONE OF THESE. 33:31.193 --> 33:35.579 AND ONE OF THE TOPICS THAT KEPT TURNING AROUND IN MY SPIRIT IS 33:35.579 --> 33:38.243 I BELIEVE, WELL, IT'S CALLED THIS, 33:38.243 --> 33:41.247 IT'S CALLED GOVERNING THE SOUL REALM. AND 33:41.247 --> 33:44.988 I THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE I REMEMBER, IN 33:44.988 --> 33:47.003 FACT, WE WERE JUST IN THE BACK, I WAS WITH KATE, 33:47.003 --> 33:50.153 AND WE WERE REMINISCING WHEN WE FIRST MET OR 33:50.153 --> 33:54.743 INTERACTED DOWN IN FORT WORTH AT KENNETH COPELAND MINISTRIES. 33:54.743 --> 33:56.814 HOW MANY OF YOU WATCHED OR REMEMBERED THAT EVENT 33:56.814 --> 34:00.461 WHERE IT WAS 115 DEGREES AND WE WERE OUT ON THE FLIGHT LINE 34:00.461 --> 34:03.742 IN 2020? ANYBODY REMEMBER THAT MOMENT AND PASTOR AND I FLEW 34:03.777 --> 34:07.403 DOWN THERE? WAS ANYBODY AT THAT EVENT? ANYBODY GO DOWN? 34:07.403 --> 34:08.994 I DON'T KNOW, SOME OF YOU ONLINE MAY HAVE, 34:08.994 --> 34:10.344 BUT WE WERE THERE AND I DON'T KNOW, 34:10.344 --> 34:14.574 IT WAS LIKE WE WERE STEPS AWAY FROM HADES, IT WAS SO HOT. AND 34:15.833 --> 34:18.443 PASTOR HANK WAS LIKE, "I'M JUST GOING IN A 34:18.443 --> 34:20.664 SHORT-SLEEVED T-SHIRT. "I CAN'T BE OUT THERE. 34:20.664 --> 34:23.018 "I MEAN, I'M LIKE THE WHITE TD JAKES, I CAN'T." 34:25.224 --> 34:27.954 AND THEN WE FOUND OUT BROTHER COPELAND'S WEARING A SUIT. 34:27.954 --> 34:31.755 AND HE'S LIKE, "WELL, IF HE'S WEARING A SUIT, "HE'S IN 34:31.804 --> 34:34.914 HIS 80S." AND HE GOES, "I GUESS I'M WEARING A SUIT. 34:35.963 --> 34:38.934 "I CAN'T GO DOWN THERE AND BROTHER COPELAND BE IN A SUIT, 34:38.934 --> 34:43.219 "AND I'M IN A T-SHIRT." SO OF COURSE WE WERE OUT THERE, BUT WE 34:43.219 --> 34:45.653 WERE JUST REMINISCING ABOUT SOME OF THOSE TIMES. 34:45.653 --> 34:47.903 AND I REMEMBER ALL OF THESE PROPHETIC WORDS 34:47.903 --> 34:50.873 THAT PASTOR HAD HAD, AND I KINDA JUST NOTICED 34:50.873 --> 34:56.210 THIS CONSISTENT THEME, IF YOU WILL, WHEN 34:56.210 --> 35:01.043 HE TALKED SO OFTEN ABOUT IF THE PEOPLE WON'T GET IN FEAR. HOW 35:01.043 --> 35:04.434 MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THAT? THAT WE CANNOT FEAR. 35:04.434 --> 35:06.623 WE CAN'T LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD 35:06.623 --> 35:11.753 AND HAVE FEAR OVER THE NEWS AND WHAT'S HAPPENING, 35:11.753 --> 35:13.824 AND IF WE GET IN FEAR, WE'LL MISS GOD. 35:13.824 --> 35:16.914 AND SO I KEPT HEARING THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. 35:16.914 --> 35:20.063 AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, THE REASON WE GET IN FEAR 35:20.063 --> 35:22.884 OR WE HAVE ANXIETY ABOUT THINGS, 'CAUSE WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE, 35:22.884 --> 35:26.364 LET'S RAISE OUR HANDS. EVERY ONE OF US HAVE HAD MOMENTS WHERE, 35:26.364 --> 35:28.463 WHETHER IT'S PERSONAL OR IT'S SOMETHING 35:28.463 --> 35:30.474 THAT WE SEE ON THE NEWS OR WHATEVER, 35:30.474 --> 35:33.114 IT'S WHY I TRY TO BE SO CAREFUL NOT TO, 35:33.114 --> 35:36.264 YOU KNOW, I'M OPENING MY SOCIAL MEDIA LESS AND LESS, 35:36.264 --> 35:38.903 BECAUSE I JUST DON'T WANT SOMETHING TO FLASH AT ME AND 35:38.903 --> 35:41.664 TALK TO ME. HOW MANY OF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? 35:41.664 --> 35:45.293 SO, BUT, AND YOU KNOW, JUST BEING CAREFUL 35:45.293 --> 35:49.643 ABOUT WHAT WE SEE, WHAT WE LET COME INTO OUR SOUL REALM. 35:49.643 --> 35:53.565 BUT I REALLY BELIEVE THE REASON SO MUCH OF US GET 35:53.565 --> 35:57.204 INTO THIS PLACE OF FEAR AND ANXIETY AND CONCERN 35:57.204 --> 36:01.842 IS WE DON'T GOVERN OUR SOUL. WE DON'T DEAL WITH IT. AND 36:01.842 --> 36:04.943 SO THIS HAS BEEN THE CONSISTENT THEME. AND 36:04.943 --> 36:08.514 SO I KNEW FROM THE LORD THAT I WANTED TO JUST DELVE 36:08.514 --> 36:13.554 INTO THIS TOPIC AFRESH SO THAT WE PUT OUR MINDS IN CHECK. 36:13.554 --> 36:16.974 AMEN, WE PUT OUR THOUGHTS, WE ARREST THOSE THOUGHTS. 36:16.974 --> 36:19.746 SO LET'S JUST GET INTO A LITTLE BIT. I'M GONNA GO TO 36:19.778 --> 36:23.514 LUKE 21:19. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST, WELL, AT LEAST IT'S ONE 36:23.514 --> 36:25.824 OF MY FAVORITE SCRIPTURES IN ALL OF THE BIBLE. 36:25.824 --> 36:30.713 BUT IT SAYS IN THIS, NOW JESUS IN THE PASSAGE IS PREACHING. 36:30.713 --> 36:34.643 HE'S PREACHING ON THE END TIMES, RIGHT? 36:34.643 --> 36:39.054 AND HE SAYS THIS, HE SAYS, "IN YOUR PATIENCE," 36:39.054 --> 36:44.454 NOW THAT WORD PATIENCE, IT'S THE WORD COMMITTED ENDURANCE. 36:44.454 --> 36:47.784 SO IF YOU CAN'T ENDURE ANY HARDSHIP, 36:47.784 --> 36:50.244 LISTEN TO ME EVERYBODY, LOOK AT ME. 36:50.244 --> 36:52.853 IF YOU CAN'T ENDURE ANY HARDSHIP, 36:52.853 --> 36:55.853 YOUR STRENGTH IS SMALL, THE BIBLE SAYS, PROVERBS. 36:56.994 --> 37:01.043 SO IN YOUR PATIENCE, IT'S GONNA TAKE ENDURANCE, RIGHT? 37:02.304 --> 37:11.034 COMMITTED ENDURANCE IS THE WORD PATIENCE. POSSESS YE YOUR SOUL. 37:11.034 --> 37:14.485 IN OTHER WORDS, THAT WORD POSSESS MEANS TO OWN WHAT 37:14.485 --> 37:19.353 GOES ON UP HERE. OWN IT, BE IN CONTROL OF IT. DON'T 37:19.353 --> 37:23.409 EVER USE A PHRASE LIKE, "WELL, I'M LOSING MY MIND. "I'M SO 37:23.443 --> 37:26.963 CRAZY." YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THESE LITTLE CATCH WORDS 37:26.963 --> 37:29.844 AND THINGS THAT PEOPLE SAY. DON'T PICK UP ON THOSE. 37:29.844 --> 37:32.994 NO, BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR OWN MIND. 37:32.994 --> 37:36.353 THERE IS NOTHING, NOT EVEN THE DEVIL, 37:36.353 --> 37:40.853 HAS THE RIGHT TO CONTROL WHAT GOES ON UP HERE. 37:40.853 --> 37:48.547 NOT PEOPLE, NOT, LISTEN, NOT PEOPLE, NOT FEAR, NOT NEWS 37:48.547 --> 37:52.909 CHANNELS. NOTHING SHOULD HAVE CONTROL OF WHAT YOU THINK 37:52.909 --> 37:55.134 ABOUT. "WELL, I CAN'T HELP IT, PASTOR BRENDA," 37:55.134 --> 37:58.193 BUT WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT. I'M SO GLAD YOU SAID THAT. 37:58.193 --> 38:02.514 'CAUSE WE HAVE TO BE IN CHARGE OF OUR OWN MIND, 38:02.514 --> 38:08.081 OUR CIRCUMSTANCES, DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK TO WHAT 38:08.121 --> 38:14.903 GOES ON UP HERE. WE ARE CONTROLLING OUR OWN THOUGHTS. 38:14.903 --> 38:17.003 NOW, I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S ALWAYS EASY TO DO, 38:17.003 --> 38:19.554 BUT WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW TO DO IT TONIGHT. 38:19.554 --> 38:22.463 BUT WE HAVE TO BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR OWN MIND. 38:22.463 --> 38:26.844 TOUCH YOUR MIND RIGHT NOW AND SAY, MIND, I'M IN CHARGE OF YOU. 38:26.844 --> 38:30.474 YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO JUST THINK ANYTHING. 38:31.673 --> 38:36.503 YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT I TELL YOU TO THINK 38:36.503 --> 38:40.764 AND WHAT GOD TELLS YOU TO THINK. IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. 38:40.764 --> 38:47.028 ALL RIGHT, SO IN YOUR PATIENCE, OWN OR BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR 38:47.028 --> 38:51.402 OWN SOUL OR YOUR OWN THOUGHTS, YOUR OWN MIND. WE'RE GONNA BREAK 38:51.402 --> 38:54.594 THIS DOWN. NOW THE REASON IS, HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW GALATIANS 38:54.594 --> 38:57.773 TALKS ABOUT THE WORKS OF THE FLESH 38:57.773 --> 39:01.373 AND THEN IT TALKS ABOUT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT. 39:01.373 --> 39:04.373 GO TO GALATIANS 3, I WANNA READ THIS TO YOU. 39:04.373 --> 39:06.384 I THINK THIS WILL BE VERY HELPFUL FOR YOU. 39:06.384 --> 39:12.112 GALATIANS 5, NOW I WANT YOU, JUST IN LIGHT OF 39:12.112 --> 39:15.744 WHAT I JUST SAID ABOUT BEING IN CONTROL 39:15.744 --> 39:19.074 OF OUR OWN THOUGHTS AND OUR OWN MIND AND WHAT 39:19.074 --> 39:22.347 GOES THROUGH OUR BRAIN, LET'S LOOK AT THESE WORKS OF THE 39:22.347 --> 39:27.148 FLESH.

THIS IS, SEE THESE WORKS OF THE FLESH. 42:14.403 --> 42:18.153 THESE ARE PEOPLE ACTING OUT WHAT WENT THROUGH THEIR MIND 42:18.153 --> 42:20.434 FOR A LONG TIME, WOULD YOU NOT AGREE? 42:20.434 --> 42:25.594 ADULTERY, I JUST USED THAT EXAMPLE. FORNICATION, OKAY? 42:25.594 --> 42:29.463 PEOPLE THINK ABOUT FORNICATING, SO THEN THEY DO IT, RIGHT? 42:29.463 --> 42:38.884 UNCLEANNESS, LASCIVIOUSNESS, IDOLATRY, WITCHCRAFT, 42:38.884 --> 42:41.193 WHICH IS ALSO WHERE YOU GET ILLICIT DRUGS FROM. 42:41.193 --> 42:42.483 WITCHCRAFT, THE WORD IS PHARMAKIA, 42:42.483 --> 42:47.554 AND IT MEANS TO PARTAKE, AND IT'S NOT JUST 42:47.554 --> 42:49.923 SPELLS AND THAT, IT MEANS POTIONS, IT 42:49.923 --> 42:54.454 MEANS DRUGS, HATRED. YOU KNOW, HATRED IS A BIG DEAL. 42:54.454 --> 42:56.943 WE SEE THAT BEING DISPLAYED ALL OVER THE INTERNET. 42:56.943 --> 42:58.773 ALL THESE PEOPLE LASHING OUT THAT SAY, 42:58.773 --> 43:01.143 "WELL, WE WANT PEACE, WE WANT PEACE." 43:01.143 --> 43:02.932 AND I'M LIKE, "AND YOU'RE BURNING DOWN STUFF." 43:06.483 --> 43:09.289 BUT THAT'S BECAUSE THEY LET HATRED GO THROUGH THEIR 43:09.289 --> 43:11.764 BRAIN A LOT. YOU KNOW, THEY GET ONLINE AND THEY DON'T LIKE 43:11.764 --> 43:13.726 SOMEBODY OF ANOTHER COLOR SO THEY WANNA GO KILL THOSE 43:13.760 --> 43:21.911 PEOPLE, RIGHT? AND SO HATRED IS A FRUIT OF AN UNCONTROLLED 43:21.911 --> 43:27.454 THOUGHT LIFE. VARIANCE, THAT WORD VARIANCE MEANS TO DEBATE. 43:27.454 --> 43:30.003 NOW, LET ME JUST STOP AND SAY THIS. 43:31.443 --> 43:34.443 I'M ALL FOR GOOD DIALOGUE. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT. 43:34.443 --> 43:36.844 I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE SHARE IDEAS 43:36.844 --> 43:39.813 WITH EACH OTHER, BUT THE SCRIPTURE TALKS A LOT 43:39.813 --> 43:42.603 ABOUT ARGUING OUT POINTS OF VIEW, 43:42.603 --> 43:45.634 ESPECIALLY DOCTRINAL ONES, WHERE WE JUST ARGUE 43:45.634 --> 43:48.003 AND ARGUE AND ARGUE. YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING. 43:48.003 --> 43:49.744 PEOPLE WILL COME INTO A CHURCH SERVICE, 43:49.744 --> 43:53.193 GOD COULD MOVE, POWER OF GOD'S THERE, IT'S AMAZING, 43:53.193 --> 43:55.204 AND THEN ONE LITTLE THING THEY DON'T AGREE WITH, 43:55.204 --> 43:57.244 AND THEY'LL THROW THE WHOLE THING OUT 43:57.244 --> 44:01.083 AND MISS ALL THE GOOD THAT GOD DID. YOU THINK ABOUT THAT. 44:01.083 --> 44:04.653 I REMEMBER I WAS INVITED TO A CONFERENCE MANY YEARS AGO, 44:04.653 --> 44:09.123 AND A MINISTER, A LADY MINISTER THAT I KNEW PRETTY WELL 44:09.123 --> 44:13.563 INVITED ME, IT WAS UP NEAR ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN. 44:13.563 --> 44:17.702 AND SO I WENT THERE, AND ACTUALLY, PASTOR 44:17.702 --> 44:20.494 LET ME FLY ALL BY MYSELF AND RENT A CAR AND DRIVE THERE. HE 44:21.543 --> 44:25.204 WOULD NEVER DO THAT. HONEY, YOU WOULD NEVER DO THAT NOW. 44:25.204 --> 44:28.222 HE'D BE LIKE, "SHE'LL GET LOST IN THE BATHROOM." SHE'D 44:28.222 --> 44:32.074 NOT DO IT. SO I'M NOT THE MOST DIRECTIONALLY GOOD PERSON, 44:32.074 --> 44:34.668 BUT I DID IT AND THAT WAS BEFORE I GOT A MAP OUT 44:34.668 --> 44:37.277 AND READ IT AND STUDIED MY ROUTES. AND WE DIDN'T 44:37.309 --> 44:40.146 HAVE CELL PHONE IN SYRIA AT THAT TIME. AND SO IT WAS A LONG 44:40.179 --> 44:43.204 TIME AGO. AND I GOT TO THE MEETING AND IT WAS POWERFUL. 44:43.204 --> 44:45.244 I MEAN, THE POWER OF GOD WAS THERE. 44:45.244 --> 44:46.851 AND I HEARD THE PREACHER, YOU KNOW, I WAS A LITTLE 44:46.851 --> 44:48.934 YOUNGER THEN. I'VE LEARNED TO, YOU KNOW, BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, 44:48.934 --> 44:51.153 CHEW THE CHICKEN AND SPIT OUT THE BONES. 44:51.153 --> 44:54.123 AND I REMEMBER THIS LADY SAID SOMETHING 44:54.123 --> 44:56.463 AND I THOUGHT THAT IS NOT BIBLICAL. 44:56.463 --> 45:00.090 AND I STRUGGLED WITH IT AT THE WHOLE TIME. AND IT REALLY 45:00.090 --> 45:03.695 WASN'T BIBLICAL. BUT I WAS JUST READY TO SAY, "WELL, THIS IS 45:03.695 --> 45:06.813 A STUPID MEETING, I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE." 45:06.813 --> 45:11.224 AND THE REALITY WAS, RATHER THAN BE LIKE THE BEREANS, 45:12.634 --> 45:16.407 WHO THEY RECEIVED THE WORD IN THE MOMENT. AND THEY THOUGHT, 45:16.407 --> 45:19.623 "YEAH, MAYBE." BUT THERE ARE THINGS I HAVE FOUND OUT 45:19.623 --> 45:21.634 THAT I DIDN'T AGREE WITH AT ONE POINT IN MY LIFE, 45:21.634 --> 45:23.224 AND THEN I FOUND OUT LATER I DID. 45:23.224 --> 45:27.664 (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) AMAZING! WE CAN GROW. 45:28.923 --> 45:31.264 WE DON'T, I GOT A NEWS FLASH FOR YOU. 45:31.264 --> 45:34.251 WE DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING. ISN'T THAT A SHOCK? SO 45:35.494 --> 45:37.293 DEBATE, AND WE GOTTA BE CAREFUL 45:37.293 --> 45:39.273 WITH THE ARGUING THAT GOES ON IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. 45:39.273 --> 45:41.802 I THINK IT'S A MOCKERY, IT'S A TRAVESTY THAT 45:41.802 --> 45:43.893 THERE'S PEOPLE ON THE LIBERAL LEFT THAT 45:43.893 --> 45:46.474 CAN JOIN TOGETHER FOR THE DEVIL'S PURPOSES, 45:46.474 --> 45:49.202 AND YET WE JUST HAVE TO ARGUE ABOUT EVERY LITTLE THING. 45:49.202 --> 45:52.384 SO THAT'S NOT GOOD, RIGHT? SO VARIANCE, WATCH THAT. 45:52.384 --> 45:56.355 THAT'S WHY WE TALK SO MUCH ABOUT ARGUING ON SOCIAL MEDIA. GOD, 45:56.355 --> 46:01.711 IT JUST DOESN'T PLEASE GOD. OKAY, BUT THESE ARE ALL ACTIONS 46:01.711 --> 46:04.804 OF A MIND THAT HAS NOT BEEN BROUGHT TO SUBJECTION. 46:04.804 --> 46:10.978 EMULATIONS, WRATH OR ANGER, STRIFE, RIGHT? I JUST CAN'T 46:11.003 --> 46:18.860 FORGIVE THAT PERSON. STRIFE, SEDITIONS, HERESIES, ENVYINGS, 46:18.860 --> 46:22.889 MURDERS, DRUNKENNESS, REVELINGS, ALL OF THESE THINGS, AND ALL 46:22.889 --> 46:25.675 THE THINGS THAT ARE LIKE IT, THE BIBLE SAYS, OF 46:25.675 --> 46:28.804 WHICH I TELL YOU BEFORE, AS I HAVE ALSO TOLD 46:28.804 --> 46:31.264 YOU IN TIME PAST, THAT THOSE WHO DO SUCH 46:31.264 --> 46:34.594 THINGS, CHECK THIS OUT, SHALL NOT INHERIT 46:34.628 --> 46:41.764 THE KINGDOM OF GOD. SO NOW THAT'S A SCARY STATEMENT. 46:41.764 --> 46:44.494 BUT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, ALL OF THOSE THINGS 46:44.494 --> 46:47.134 COULD BE PREVENTED IN THE LIFE OF ANY PERSON 46:48.304 --> 46:50.704 IF THEY WOULD BRING THEIR MIND UNDER SUBJECTION, 46:50.704 --> 46:55.034 IF THEY WOULD POSSESS AND OWN THEIR SOUL. SO LET'S TALK 46:55.034 --> 46:59.463 ABOUT THAT, AMEN? LET ME GIVE YOU SOME MORE SCRIPTURE HERE. 46:59.463 --> 47:02.704 OKAY, SO HOW DO WE TRANSFORM THE WAY WE THINK? 47:02.704 --> 47:04.773 'CAUSE I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, WE ALL DIDN'T LIKE COME 47:04.773 --> 47:07.744 FROM HOLIER THAN THOU ENVIRONMENTS, OKAY? 47:07.744 --> 47:10.295 SOME OF THE PEOPLE LISTENING TO ME TONIGHT, EITHER HERE 47:10.295 --> 47:12.128 OR ONLINE, YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN RAISED IN A 47:12.128 --> 47:16.878 DYSFUNCTIONAL HOUSEHOLD, SO YOU DIDN'T LEARN HOW TO ACT LIKE A 47:16.878 --> 47:19.630 CHRISTIAN. IT'S AMAZING, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANNA KNOW HOW TO 47:19.630 --> 47:21.184 ACT LIKE A CHRISTIAN, READ THE BIBLE. 47:24.454 --> 47:26.733 IT'S AMAZING WHAT'S IN THERE THAT TELLS US HOW TO BEHAVE 47:26.733 --> 47:30.784 AND HOW TO TALK AND HOW TO BE, RIGHT? IT'S AMAZING. 47:30.784 --> 47:33.784 HOW DO WE BEGIN TO TRANSFORM THIS THING WE CALL OUR SOUL? 47:33.784 --> 47:36.974 ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT ROMANS 12, AND THEN I'M GONNA BREAK THIS 47:36.974 --> 47:40.206 DOWN A LITTLE BIT. ROMANS 12, AND THIS IS GOD'S WORD 47:40.206 --> 47:42.204 TRANSLATION. I DON'T THINK YOU GUYS HAVE THAT. 47:42.204 --> 47:44.193 DO YOU HAVE, OH, YOU DO HAVE THAT ONE? 47:44.193 --> 47:47.963 I SEE IT UP THERE, OKAY.

SO WE ARE 48:05.217 --> 48:10.923 A LIVING SACRIFICE. THAT MEANS EVERY CHRISTIAN HERE AND ONLINE, 48:10.923 --> 48:16.114 EVERYWHERE WE ARE TO LAY OURSELF ON OUR OWN CROSS OF CRUCIFIXION. 48:16.114 --> 48:22.869 IT'S NOT MY WAY. COME ON, SOMEBODY. IT IS GOD'S WAY. 48:23.764 --> 48:28.893 AND IF HE SAYS SOMETHING IS EVIL, THEN WE SAY IT'S EVIL. 48:28.893 --> 48:30.603 IF HE SAID THAT'S NOT HOW YOU ACT, 48:30.603 --> 48:34.114 THAT'S NOT HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE, THAT'S NOT HOW YOU 48:34.114 --> 48:38.313 GO ABOUT, OKAY?

WELL, YAY, YOU, BUT WE DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT IT. 48:56.603 --> 49:01.771 PUT SOME CLOTHES ON AND DO A BEFORE AND AFTER, BUT BE 49:01.773 --> 49:06.574 DRESSED, BE DECENT.

WE GOTTA MAKE A CHANGE OF MIND. 54:15.528 --> 54:18.405 ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE AREAS OF 54:18.405 --> 54:20.628 OUR SOUL. AND THEN I WANNA PRAY OVER OUR MINDS TONIGHT. 54:20.628 --> 54:23.688 I FEEL VERY STRONGLY, PASTOR, JUST IN HIS 54:23.688 --> 54:27.119 PREACHING ON SHIP CHANGE, I THINK WE OUGHT TO TAKE AUTHORITY 54:27.119 --> 54:30.018 OVER SOME THINGS. SOME OF US IN THIS ROOM, MAYBE YOU'RE IN HERE 54:30.018 --> 54:33.018 AND YOU'RE WATCHING AND YOU'RE IN A BATTLE GOING ON UP HERE. 54:33.018 --> 54:35.418 MAYBE SOMEBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT AND OTHERS DON'T, 54:35.418 --> 54:38.655 BUT LET'S DEAL WITH SOME STUFF TONIGHT. CAN WE DO THAT? 54:38.655 --> 54:41.688 ALL RIGHT, THERE'S FIVE AREAS OF THE HUMAN SOUL. 54:41.688 --> 54:45.018 AND I WANNA BREAK THESE DOWN SO THAT YOU CAN HONE IN ON THOSE 54:45.018 --> 54:47.088 AND SHINE A SPOTLIGHT ON THESE AREAS. 54:47.088 --> 54:51.090 BUT THE FIRST AREA OF THE HUMAN SOUL IS YOUR WILL. OKAY, YOUR 54:51.123 --> 54:58.338 WILL. THIS IS THE AREA OF YOUR BRAIN WHERE YOU MAKE ALL THE 54:58.338 --> 55:03.289 CHOICES, THE DECISIONS, RIGHT? YOU CHOOSE SOMETHING. 55:03.289 --> 55:06.378 IT'S THE MOST DOMINANT FORCE OF THE HUMAN SOUL. 55:06.378 --> 55:09.079 IT HAS THE FINAL SAY IN EVERY DECISION. 55:09.079 --> 55:11.929 AND MANY PEOPLE, I WROTE THIS IN MY NOTES, 55:11.929 --> 55:15.168 DON'T GO ANYWHERE IN LIFE BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW 55:15.168 --> 55:18.230 TO POSSESS THEIR SOUL IN THE AREA OF THEIR WILL. 55:19.639 --> 55:21.951 THEY CAN'T MAKE A CHOICE AND STAY WITH IT. THEY 55:21.951 --> 55:25.818 BOUNCE FROM JOB TO JOB, OKAY? THEY DON'T STICK INTO SOMETHING. 55:25.818 --> 55:30.076 IF THEY COMMIT, THEY BOUNCE OFF TO THE NEXT THING. THEY'RE 55:30.076 --> 55:33.099 UNSTABLE. THEY CAN'T JUST MAKE A DECISION. 55:34.668 --> 55:38.208 ONLY YOU HAVE THE POWER OVER YOUR WILL. 55:38.208 --> 55:41.449 YOU KNOW THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL NOT EVEN VIOLATE YOUR WILL? 55:41.449 --> 55:45.619 HE WILL LET PEOPLE GO TO HELL. THINK ABOUT THAT. 55:45.619 --> 55:48.306 BECAUSE THEY WILL TO DO IT. HE WILL 55:48.306 --> 55:51.498 ALLOW THEM TO MAKE STUPID MISTAKES 55:51.498 --> 55:55.811 THAT COULD BE LIFE-ALTERING FOREVER BECAUSE THEY WILL TO DO 55:55.811 --> 55:59.418 IT. SO, GOD WON'T EVEN VIOLATE OUR WILL. 55:59.418 --> 56:01.429 IF WE CHOOSE TO PUT OUR FOOT DOWN, 56:01.429 --> 56:04.393 THAT'S WHAT GOD HAD THE PROBLEM WITH ISRAEL. THEY 56:04.393 --> 56:07.849 WERE STIFF NECKED. THEY WERE NOT GONNA CHANGE THEIR WAYS 56:07.849 --> 56:11.634 NO MATTER WHAT GOD DID FOR THEM. THEY WERE STIFF, THAT'S WHAT 56:11.634 --> 56:13.706 THE BIBLE MEANS, STIFF NECKED. IT MEANS THAT THEY WEREN'T 56:13.739 --> 56:18.619 GONNA MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS. WE ALL HAVE ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE. IT 56:18.619 --> 56:21.141 DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE A TERRIBLE CHRISTIAN IF YOU EXAMINE 56:21.141 --> 56:23.884 YOURSELF. THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN EVERY TIME WE TAKE THE COMMUNION 56:23.884 --> 56:28.146 MEAL, WE SHOULD LOOK IN OURSELF AND ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO 56:28.146 --> 56:31.824 REVEAL THINGS TO US. AMEN, THAT'S ONE OF THE BEST PRAYERS 56:31.858 --> 56:36.918 WE CAN PRAY. THE DEVIL DOESN'T EVEN HAVE POWER OVER YOUR WILL, 56:36.918 --> 56:40.432 BUT NOW HERE'S WHAT WILL HAPPEN. HE DOESN'T HAVE THE POWER 56:40.432 --> 56:43.532 TO CHANGE YOUR WILL, OKAY, ANY MORE THAN GOD DOES, BUT 56:43.532 --> 56:48.079 YOU KNOW, HE'LL TRY TO USE OTHER ATTRIBUTES OF YOUR SOUL TO 56:48.079 --> 56:51.259 GET AT YOUR WILL. YOU THINK ABOUT EVE. 56:51.259 --> 56:53.329 HOW DID HE GET HER TO EAT THAT FRUIT? 56:54.349 --> 56:57.050 OKAY, "OH, IT'S GOOD FOR FOOD." HER EMOTIONS NOW CAME INTO 56:57.083 --> 57:01.320 PLAY. RIGHT? HER REASONING CAME INTO PLAY. WE'RE GOING TO 57:01.353 --> 57:06.092 TALK ABOUT THAT. BUT HE DIDN'T HAVE THE, LIKE BE ABLE TO FORCE 57:06.126 --> 57:09.929 HER TO DO THAT AND EAT THAT FRUIT. ANYMORE THAN HE CAN DO 57:09.963 --> 57:15.135 THAT TO YOU. OKAY? BUT OUR WILL IS OUR DECISION MAKER. 57:15.168 --> 57:17.581 WE'LL SAY, "PASTOR BRENDA, HOW DO WE KEEP THAT WILL "IN 57:17.581 --> 57:20.898 LINE WITH GOD?" WELL, ONE OF THE BEST PRAYERS YOU CAN EVER PRAY, 57:20.898 --> 57:22.668 BROTHER HAGIN TAUGHT THIS MANY YEARS AGO, 57:22.668 --> 57:24.619 HE TALKED ABOUT THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PRAYER, 57:24.619 --> 57:26.958 AND HE SAID ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL PRAYERS, 57:26.958 --> 57:28.188 AND EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD PRAY IT, 57:28.188 --> 57:34.009 EVERY SINGLE DAY, HE SAID, "PRAY AND ASK GOD AND SAY, 57:34.009 --> 57:41.193 "LORD, I SUBMIT MYSELF TO YOU. I SUBMIT MY PLANS. I SUBMIT MY 57:41.226 --> 57:45.815 WILL. GOD, I'M NOT GONNA GO AGAINST WHAT YOU SAY. I'M 57:45.831 --> 57:54.768 NOT GONNA RESIST YOU. I'M ASKING YOU, LORD, SHOW ME HOW TO BEND 57:54.768 --> 57:57.811 MY WILL INTO YOUR HAND." YOU KNOW, YOU WON'T GO INTO 57:57.844 --> 58:01.255 THE WRONG CAREER DOING THAT. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE I 58:01.255 --> 58:03.528 REMEMBER YEARS AGO, WHEN WE WERE FIRST STARTING THE MINISTRY, 58:03.528 --> 58:06.768 I CAN TELL HIM MYSELF, I THOUGHT, "PASTOR HANK, YOU KNOW, 58:06.768 --> 58:09.289 "I MEAN, HE'S SOME KIND OF PROPHET." AND HE'S 58:10.309 --> 58:13.081 BEEN THIS WAY HIS WHOLE LIFE, BY THE WAY. I JUST WANNA TELL 58:13.081 --> 58:16.489 YOU. I MEAN, CRAZY THINGS, HE WOULD GET PROPHETIC WORDS. 58:16.489 --> 58:18.469 AND WE WERE JUST DATING, I'D BE LIKE, 58:18.469 --> 58:20.628 "HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE?" 58:20.628 --> 58:23.179 I MEAN, IT JUST, YOU KNOW, DETAILS. 58:23.179 --> 58:26.509 WE WERE PREACHING ON THE STREET ONE TIME AT A STREET THING, 58:26.509 --> 58:27.918 AND THERE WAS THIS LADY THAT WAS THERE, 58:27.918 --> 58:29.688 AND SHE WAS LIKE, "I DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT JESUS." 58:30.949 --> 58:33.619 AND HE SAID, "WELL, I'M GONNA TELL YOU ABOUT JESUS." 58:33.619 --> 58:37.657 AND SHE GOT MAD, AND HE GOES, "WELL, I JUST HEARD THE LORD 58:37.684 --> 58:46.226 SAY TO ME "THAT YOU JUST HAD AN ABORTION." AND SHE SCREAMS, 58:47.309 --> 58:50.282 AND FALLS TO THE GROUND CRYING. SHE GOES, "HOW DID YOU KNOW 58:50.282 --> 58:54.588 THAT?" SHE GAVE HER HEART TO GOD AND HAD NO IDEA. 58:54.588 --> 59:00.259 AND SO, YOU KNOW, HE'S ALWAYS HAD THESE UNCANNY KNOWS, 59:00.259 --> 59:03.469 PROPHETIC KNOWS, LIKE NOBODY I'VE EVER KNOWN. 59:03.469 --> 59:08.614 AND I'VE LIVED WITH HIM ALL MY LIFE. AND SO I WANTED TO 59:08.648 --> 59:13.159 BE LIKE THAT. I'M LIKE, "GOD, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE PROPHETIC?" 59:13.159 --> 59:17.579 I'M LIKE, "I WANNA HAVE WORDS LIKE THAT. "I WANNA PROPHESY 59:17.579 --> 59:21.835 LIKE THAT." NOW, I PROPHESY, BUT I'M NOT APT TO PROPHESY LIKE 59:21.835 --> 59:24.409 THAT. I MEAN, IT'S JUST THERE COMES A POINT. 59:24.409 --> 59:27.762 YOU EVER SEE THOSE RACES WHEN YOU WERE IN SCHOOL 59:27.762 --> 59:30.605 AND THERE WAS THE FRONT RUNNER THAT WAS ALWAYS WAY OUT AHEAD 59:30.605 --> 59:33.648 OF EVERYBODY? I'M LIKE, "HE WAS THE HARE AND I WAS THE TURTLE. 59:33.648 --> 59:37.188 "I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW." AND I SAID, "LORD, HOW COME I?" 59:37.188 --> 59:40.666 AND SO I WANTED TO BE IN THE PROPHET'S OFFICE. NOW, GOD 59:40.666 --> 59:43.349 USED ME PROPHETICALLY. I'M NOT SAYING HE DOESN'T, BUT PRIMARILY 59:43.382 --> 59:46.978 I'M A TEACHER. BUT I DIDN'T WANNA BE A TEACHER. IT'S 59:46.978 --> 59:54.048 NOT EXCITING. IN FACT, THERE'S A LOT OF TEACHER PREACHERS, 59:54.094 --> 59:56.295 THEY'RE BORING. OH MY GOD, YOU GAVE ME THE MOST BORING 59:56.329 --> 01:00:00.994 ANOINTING IN ALL OF THE BIBLE. 01:00:04.369 --> 01:00:07.219 BUT THERE CAME A POINT WHERE I HAD TO SUBMIT MY WILL. 01:00:07.219 --> 01:00:11.449 AND THE LORD SAYS, "YOU CANNOT TRY TO BE SOMETHING YOU AREN'T. 01:00:12.829 --> 01:00:14.449 AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO SUBMIT YOUR WILL." 01:00:14.449 --> 01:00:16.789 YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DO THIS IN THE CHURCH ALL THE TIME. 01:00:16.789 --> 01:00:19.882 THEY TRY TO BE SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE NOT GRACED FOR. 01:00:21.168 --> 01:00:25.592 AND IT COMES OFF SQUIRRELLY.

SADNESS IS AN EMOTION. 01:05:06.519 --> 01:05:10.750 AND THERE'S, YOU KNOW, GOD HAD SADNESS WHEN ISRAEL SINNED. 01:05:10.750 --> 01:05:14.349 SO THERE'S SEVERAL PLACES WHERE EMOTIONS 01:05:14.349 --> 01:05:18.105 HAVE EXAMPLES IN THE BIBLE, AND THOSE EMOTIONS ARE GIVEN 01:05:18.150 --> 01:05:21.670 BY GOD. NOW HERE'S WHAT EMOTIONS CAN BE. 01:05:21.670 --> 01:05:26.530 THEY CANNOT BE USED TO CONTROL YOU AND LEAD YOU. 01:05:26.530 --> 01:05:29.829 THEY ARE NOT THE GUIDING VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 01:05:29.829 --> 01:05:34.329 OH, 'CAUSE I FEEL GOOD, IT MUST BE OKAY. 01:05:34.329 --> 01:05:38.949 OKAY? AND SO EMOTIONS, LET ME READ IT, 01:05:38.949 --> 01:05:40.809 PUT A COUPLE THINGS THAT I PUT IN MY NOTES HERE. 01:05:40.809 --> 01:05:44.300 EMOTIONS ARE GOD-GIVEN, THEY ADD COLOR. THEY ADD 01:05:44.300 --> 01:05:46.358 PERSONALITY. YOU KNOW, LOOK AT HOW WE'RE IN THIS ROOM, 01:05:46.358 --> 01:05:49.179 WE'RE ALL DIFFERENT COLORS, GOD LIKES IT. 01:05:49.179 --> 01:05:51.802 HE GETS GREAT JOY WHEN HE LOOKS AT ALL OF US, SOME MORE THAN 01:05:51.802 --> 01:05:55.791 OTHERS. SOME OF US, HE JUST DOWNRIGHT LAUGHS AT US, BUT 01:05:55.822 --> 01:05:59.998 THAT'S ALL RIGHT. BUT EMOTIONS CAN SHOW, IF THEY'RE LED BY 01:05:59.998 --> 01:06:03.849 THE SPIRIT, THE JOY OF THE LORD. THEY CAN SHOW THE GRIEVANCE 01:06:03.849 --> 01:06:06.969 OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. THEY CAN SHOW, COME ON, DON'T THINK GOD 01:06:06.969 --> 01:06:11.757 DIDN'T HAVE EMOTION WHEN HE WAS ANGRY AT ISRAEL. OKAY, THE WRATH 01:06:11.757 --> 01:06:16.070 OF GOD, THAT'S AN EMOTION. GOD HAS EMOTIONS. BUT HERE'S 01:06:16.070 --> 01:06:18.639 WHAT EMOTIONS ARE. SO THERE'S A BIBLICAL SIDE OF EMOTIONS. 01:06:18.639 --> 01:06:22.237 WHAT EMOTIONS ARE NOT IS THEY CAN'T BE USED TO FIND GOD'S 01:06:22.237 --> 01:06:25.088 WILL, OKAY? REMEMBER, I REMEMBER YOU WERE HERE WITH SUNDAY, 01:06:25.088 --> 01:06:27.693 PASTOR TALKED ABOUT THE STORY WHERE HE WANTED TO GO TAKE OVER 01:06:27.693 --> 01:06:30.730 THIS BIG CHURCH. YOU KNOW, A MOTION WOULD HAVE SAID, 01:06:30.730 --> 01:06:35.836 "MAN, THAT FRUIT'S GOOD TO EAT." OKAY, BUT WE COULDN'T BE LED 01:06:35.836 --> 01:06:40.034 BY THAT. AND BY THE WAY, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, I REMEMBER 01:06:40.034 --> 01:06:43.333 THIS. I HOPE, HONEY, I'M NOT SAYING THIS WRONG. I THINK 01:06:43.333 --> 01:06:46.358 THEY NEEDED A PASTOR 'CAUSE THE PASTOR LIKE KILLED HIMSELF 01:06:46.358 --> 01:06:49.989 OR SOMETHING. IF I REMEMBER THAT RIGHT, WE FOUND THAT OUT LATER. 01:06:49.989 --> 01:06:52.690 I'M LIKE, BOY, I'M SO GLAD WE DIDN'T GO TO THAT. 01:06:52.690 --> 01:06:54.309 I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT CHURCH. 01:06:54.309 --> 01:06:59.380 ANYWAY, WOO HOO HOO. DON'T GO BY EMOTIONS, PEOPLE. 01:07:01.300 --> 01:07:04.570 EMOTIONS ARE NOT PROOF OF THE WORKING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 01:07:04.570 --> 01:07:07.583 JUST 'CAUSE SOMETHING MAKES YOU HAPPY DOESN'T MEAN IT'S 01:07:07.583 --> 01:07:11.885 GOD, RIGHT? EMOTIONS ARE NOT A BASIS FOR TRUE LOVE OR LACK 01:07:11.885 --> 01:07:15.849 THEREOF. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE GET INTO CRAZY RELATIONSHIPS. 01:07:15.849 --> 01:07:18.608 OKAY, THEY'LL FEEL EMOTIONAL ABOUT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE 01:07:18.608 --> 01:07:20.639 AND THEN THEY GO CONNECT TO THE WRONG THING. 01:07:21.849 --> 01:07:24.121 OKAY, AND THAT'S NOT JUST ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS, 01:07:24.121 --> 01:07:28.000 PEOPLE DO IT WITH FRIENDS ALL THE TIME. 01:07:28.000 --> 01:07:31.338 OKAY, I LIKE THAT PERSON, THEY LIKE THE SAME FOOTBALL TEAM I 01:07:31.338 --> 01:07:33.699 DO. AND THEN WE MAKE ALLIANCES WITH PEOPLE 01:07:33.699 --> 01:07:37.125 WE SHOULD HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING WITH, RIGHT? AT LEAST ON 01:07:37.125 --> 01:07:42.867 THAT LEVEL. OKAY? EMOTIONS ARE NOT A BASIS FOR TRUE LOVE OR 01:07:42.867 --> 01:07:46.750 LACK THEREOF. THEY'RE NOT MEANT TO BE USED TO CONTROL AND 01:07:46.750 --> 01:07:49.599 MANIPULATE OTHERS.

HE WAS A MAN THAT WENT THROUGH A LOT AND HE 01:14:44.948 --> 01:14:48.841 CRIED IT OUT IN MUSIC. BUT YOU KNOW, HE TURNED THAT AROUND 01:14:48.841 --> 01:14:52.470 AND ALWAYS BROUGHT IT BACK TO HIS MEDITATION BEING ON GOD. 01:14:52.470 --> 01:14:55.182 YOU KNOW, WHEN YOUR EMOTIONS ARE GOING CRAZY, QUIT JUST 01:14:58.920 --> 01:15:00.750 LETTING THEM RUN.

COME ON, THE DOCTORS WILL TELL YOU 01:30:29.756 --> 01:30:33.206 THAT MANY HEALTH ISSUES ARE THE RESULT OF PEOPLE 01:30:33.206 --> 01:30:35.065 THAT CAN'T GET THEIR HEAD STRAIGHT. 01:30:35.065 --> 01:30:37.975 (CONGREGATION MURMURS) 01:30:37.975 --> 01:30:41.905 OUR IMAGINATION. THE LAST ONE, STAND TO YOUR FEET. 01:30:42.926 --> 01:30:47.314 I'M GONNA PRAY FOR YOU. IS OUR MEMORY. HOO. 01:30:49.076 --> 01:30:54.453 THE MEMORY IS THE ARCHIVES OF THE SOUL. OH, I REMEMBER WHAT 01:30:56.065 --> 01:30:59.515 THEY DID. OR YOU REMEMBER THAT ABUSE OR THAT PERSON THAT HURT 01:31:01.396 --> 01:31:03.527 YOU. OKAY, PASTOR TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS 01:31:03.527 --> 01:31:05.506 WE WENT THROUGH IN THE START OF THE MINISTRY 01:31:05.506 --> 01:31:08.957 AND SOME OF THOSE HARD TIMES AND HAVING TO, 01:31:08.957 --> 01:31:11.056 YOU KNOW, HARD TIMES HAVE COME TO EVERYBODY. 01:31:11.056 --> 01:31:15.240 THAT'S A NEWSFLASH FOR YOU. SO WHAT DO WE DO WITH IT? OKAY, 01:31:15.287 --> 01:31:18.779 YOU COULD CHURN IT OVER. THE BIBLE SAYS, "REMEMBER NOT THE 01:31:18.811 --> 01:31:23.926 FORMER THINGS." OKAY, YEAH, IT MIGHT'VE HAPPENED YESTERDAY. 01:31:23.926 --> 01:31:27.827 IT MIGHT BE REAL. YEAH, BUT PASTOR BRENDA, I FEEL IT THOUGH. 01:31:27.827 --> 01:31:30.947 IT'S SO REAL. SO THE LORD TOLD ME ONE TIME, HE GOES, 01:31:30.947 --> 01:31:34.496 YOU KNOW, WE HAD HAD SOMEBODY THAT PRETTY MUCH STABBED US 01:31:34.496 --> 01:31:36.947 IN THE BACK ONCE. I REMEMBER, WELL, PROBABLY A FEW, 01:31:36.947 --> 01:31:41.149 BUT THIS IS ONE PARTICULAR ONE THAT STOOD OUT AND IT WAS 01:31:41.149 --> 01:31:45.976 VERY PAINFUL. AND I THOUGHT, LORD, AND I REMEMBER. 01:31:45.976 --> 01:31:49.314 AND SO FINALLY GOD SAID ONE DAY, HE SAID, THE MORE YOU 01:31:49.314 --> 01:31:52.846 KEEP GOING OVER WHAT HAPPENED, THE MORE I CAN'T HEAL YOU. 01:31:54.077 --> 01:31:57.016 IF YOU KEEP PICKING THAT BANDAID OFF AND THAT SCAB, 01:31:57.016 --> 01:31:59.747 GOD SAID, "I GAVE THE HUMAN BODY SCABS FOR A REASON." 01:31:59.747 --> 01:32:02.533 YOU KNOW I GAVE SCABS TO THE HEART. AND 01:32:02.533 --> 01:32:05.266 I'M TRYING TO SCAB THAT OVER, BUT YOU KEEP PICKING AT IT. 01:32:05.266 --> 01:32:09.436 IF YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT, IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY. 01:32:09.436 --> 01:32:12.106 AND THEN THE SCRIPTURE HIT ME. JESUS SAID IT LIKE THIS. 01:32:12.106 --> 01:32:15.497 HE SAYS, "WHOSOEVER SINS YOU RETAIN, THEY'RE RETAINED." 01:32:15.497 --> 01:32:18.737 NOT TO THEM, THEY'RE RETAINED TO YOU. 01:32:19.936 --> 01:32:25.744 YOU HOLD THEM UNTIL YOU'RE NOT FREE. I MEAN, WHAT GOOD 01:32:25.779 --> 01:32:28.188 IS IT? GO TO YOUR GRAVE BITTER AND ANGRY? SO I 01:32:29.386 --> 01:32:32.497 SAID, "ALL RIGHT, LORD, I PROMISE I WON'T TALK ABOUT IT 01:32:32.497 --> 01:32:36.827 ANYMORE." SOME OF THESE MEMORIES THAT WE HAVE IN OUR LIFE, GOD 01:32:36.827 --> 01:32:40.027 IS SAYING, "GET RID OF THEM. QUIT GOING OVER IT AND PLAYING 01:32:40.060 --> 01:32:47.177 THE TAPE AGAIN AND AGAIN." OKAY, I PROMISE YOU, HAD PASTOR 01:32:47.177 --> 01:32:51.487 AND I NOT RELEASED SOME OF THOSE HURTS IN THE EARLY YEARS, WE 01:32:51.487 --> 01:32:55.106 WOULD NOT BE STANDING IN THIS BUILDING RIGHT NOW. I PROMISE 01:32:55.106 --> 01:32:58.832 YOU, I PROMISE YOU. AND THE LORD TOLD ME, HE SAID, "YOU KNOW 01:32:58.832 --> 01:33:02.372 WHAT? "I CAN TAKE MEMORIES THAT DO CAUSE PAIN, 01:33:03.587 --> 01:33:05.896 "AND YOU'LL REMEMBER THE EVENT, RIGHT? 01:33:05.896 --> 01:33:08.837 "BUT IT WON'T STING ON YOU LIKE, "IT'LL ALMOST BE LIKE IT 01:33:08.837 --> 01:33:12.197 HAPPENED TO SOMEBODY ELSE." AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S TRUE. 01:33:12.197 --> 01:33:15.346 I'VE SEEN THAT HAPPEN. SO HOW DO WE DEAL WITH A MEMORY? 01:33:15.346 --> 01:33:17.337 WELL, GOD SAID IT. HESAID, "REMEMBER NOT THE FORMER 01:33:17.337 --> 01:33:21.466 THINGS." QUIT TALKING ABOUT IT, QUIT THINKING ABOUT IT, OKAY? 01:33:21.466 --> 01:33:23.533 IF YOU SEE THAT PERSON'S PICTURE ON FACEBOOK, JUST 01:33:23.533 --> 01:33:26.146 LAUGH AND GO, "HA, HA, HA."

GET FREE FROM IT. 01:33:42.707 --> 01:33:45.676 THAT MEMORY, QUIT PLAYING THE TAPE. 01:33:45.676 --> 01:33:47.777 QUIT GOING OVER IT. GOD'S TRYING TO HEAL IT. 01:33:48.827 --> 01:33:53.820 HE'S TRYING TO GET RID OF IT IN YOUR LIFE. IN YOUR PATIENCE, 01:33:53.820 --> 01:34:01.697 POSSESS, OWN WHAT GOES THROUGH THIS NOGGIN OF YOURS AND MINE. 01:34:01.697 --> 01:34:03.436 LIFT YOUR HANDS TO HEAVEN, LET ME PRAY FOR YOU. 01:34:03.436 --> 01:34:06.016 IF YOU'RE IN HERE AND YOU NEED YOUR SOUL HEALED, 01:34:06.016 --> 01:34:08.886 JESUS CAME TO HEAL THE BROKEN HEARTED, NOT GOING 01:34:08.914 --> 01:34:12.676 TO CALL YOU OUT.
