3
00:00:07.350 --> 00:00:09.960 line:15%
Hello friend. My name is Denise Renner
4
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.390 line:15%
and I welcome you to my program.
5
00:00:12.390 --> 00:00:16.560 line:15%
We're talking about how
we can love others better.
6
00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:18.660
Isn't that a wonderful subject?
7
00:00:18.660 --> 00:00:22.620
I'm sure you're thinking that
I could love others better.
8
00:00:22.620 --> 00:00:24.780
Maybe you're thinking that to yourself.
9
00:00:24.780 --> 00:00:29.520
I, as I'm studying this
material, I'm understanding
10
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:31.800
that I could love others better.
11
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.320
And I hope that as you listen to this,
12
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:37.020
that it's gonna stir
something in your heart
13
00:00:37.020 --> 00:00:39.420
and maybe you'll see
something that you can change,
14
00:00:39.420 --> 00:00:41.910
How You Can Love Others Better.
15
00:00:41.910 --> 00:00:46.110 line:15%
And I wanna offer you, it's
a 10 part video series,
16
00:00:47.250 --> 00:00:51.300 line:15%
how you can watch this and
get some more instruction.
17
00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:54.180 line:15%
The teaching can go
deeper down inside of you.
18
00:00:54.180 --> 00:00:57.510 line:15%
And also it comes with a study guide.
19
00:00:57.510 --> 00:01:00.270 line:15%
Maybe you wanna have a Bible study with your friends
20
00:01:00.270 --> 00:01:04.320 line:15%
or something on How You Can Love Others Better.
21
00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:07.950 line:15%
I think it would be really
interesting a conversation
22
00:01:07.950 --> 00:01:10.410 line:15%
after you listen to these teachings.
23
00:01:10.410 --> 00:01:15.000 line:15%
And also, I wanna offer you a free offer.
24
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.490 line:15%
And I'm so excited about this.
25
00:01:17.490 --> 00:01:22.320 line:15%
It's my book, Gift of Forgiveness and Redeemed From Shame.
26
00:01:23.790 --> 00:01:27.060 line:15%
I just wanna give you a
little testimony about Gift
27
00:01:27.060 --> 00:01:31.830 line:15%
of Forgiveness, because I know one woman that she,
28
00:01:31.830 --> 00:01:35.040 line:15%
she was like older, like maybe she was in her 60's,
29
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.910 line:15%
70's, and she wrote that for years
30
00:01:38.910 --> 00:01:40.440 line:15%
and years and years,
31
00:01:40.440 --> 00:01:44.820 line:15%
she couldn't forgive her son.
She just could not forgive.
32
00:01:44.820 --> 00:01:48.330 line:15%
And when she read this book, she saw
33
00:01:48.330 --> 00:01:50.490 line:15%
that I can forgive.
34
00:01:50.490 --> 00:01:55.490 line:15%
She forgave her son. God
restored that relationship.
35
00:01:55.770 --> 00:01:56.850 line:15%
That's the power
36
00:01:56.850 --> 00:01:59.850 line:15%
of God's word when it
gets down into our heart.
37
00:01:59.850 --> 00:02:02.370 line:15%
So I want you to have Gift Of Forgiveness
38
00:02:02.370 --> 00:02:05.970 line:15%
and Redeemed From Shame
and it's free to you.
39
00:02:05.970 --> 00:02:10.230 line:15%
Today also, I wanna offer you my book
40
00:02:10.230 --> 00:02:11.610 line:15%
Who Stole Cinderella.
41
00:02:11.610 --> 00:02:13.200 line:15%
I want you to have this
42
00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:16.080 line:15%
because it's helped a lot of marriages
43
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.770 line:15%
and it's helped people
love one another better.
44
00:02:19.770 --> 00:02:21.720 line:15%
So I want you to have that now.
45
00:02:21.720 --> 00:02:24.720 line:15%
I want you to stay with me
because I'm coming right back
46
00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:29.720
and we're gonna talk about
how we can love others better.
47
00:02:30.060 --> 00:02:32.700
And what does patience
have to do with that?
48
00:02:33.810 --> 00:02:37.740
It's time for big miracles
and changes in your life.
49
00:02:38.670 --> 00:02:39.960

00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:47.640

52
00:02:47.640 --> 00:02:50.130
and spiritually, and most importantly,
53
00:02:50.130 --> 00:02:51.630

00:02:51.630 --> 00:02:53.370
of Christ Jesus living in you.
55
00:02:54.450 --> 00:02:56.520
It's Time with Denise Renner.
56
00:03:00.190 --> 00:03:03.190
So before I start this
teaching, I wanna share
57
00:03:03.190 --> 00:03:06.280
with you an amazing testimony
58
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:11.280
and it says, I want to
share my joy with you.
59
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.830
That hip injury was very severe.
60
00:03:14.830 --> 00:03:18.970
I understood that the quality
of life could not be the same
61
00:03:18.970 --> 00:03:21.610
as before. I prayed,
62
00:03:21.610 --> 00:03:25.150
but I understood that I had to be prepared
63
00:03:25.150 --> 00:03:27.280
for the consequences.
64
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.190
I was greatly strengthened by the words,
65
00:03:30.190 --> 00:03:35.190
the lame man shall jump up like a deer.
66
00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:39.130
I often repeated them
through pain and despair
67
00:03:39.130 --> 00:03:42.190
and the incredible happened.
68
00:03:42.190 --> 00:03:44.350
The pain went away.
69
00:03:44.350 --> 00:03:47.530
I began to lean on my leg,
70
00:03:47.530 --> 00:03:52.360
and today everything has
disappeared without any
71
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.160
consequences.
72
00:03:54.160 --> 00:03:58.630
It's so amazing because now I can squat
73
00:03:58.630 --> 00:04:03.370
and I can run again and I'm not limping.
74
00:04:03.370 --> 00:04:07.630
Hallelujah. Isn't that
a wonderful testimony of
75
00:04:07.630 --> 00:04:10.210
how God's healing power works?
76
00:04:10.210 --> 00:04:13.420
And that that man, he took
77
00:04:13.420 --> 00:04:18.070
that one phrase that the lame shall leap
78
00:04:18.070 --> 00:04:20.080
as a dear.
79
00:04:20.080 --> 00:04:24.430
And that one phrase of the
word of God, he took it,
80
00:04:24.430 --> 00:04:27.610
he believed it, it went in his heart.
81
00:04:27.610 --> 00:04:31.900
And now instead of suffering and suffering
82
00:04:31.900 --> 00:04:35.770
and suffering, he is completely free.
83
00:04:35.770 --> 00:04:37.420
Oh, I love that testimony.
84
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:43.120 line:15%
Well, today we are going
to talk about something
85
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:47.620 line:15%
that we just all love to talk
about, and that is patience.
86
00:04:47.620 --> 00:04:51.970
And this lesson is called What does
87
00:04:51.970 --> 00:04:55.210 line:15%
Patience have to do with Love?
88
00:04:55.210 --> 00:04:57.460 line:15%
Well, I would say everything
89
00:04:57.460 --> 00:05:00.670 line:15%
because there's probably gonna be somebody
90
00:05:01.510 --> 00:05:05.830 line:15%
if there's not already
somebody in your life
91
00:05:05.830 --> 00:05:10.780 line:15%
that from time to time maybe
it's a close relationship
92
00:05:10.780 --> 00:05:15.670
and you're gonna be tested in having patience
93
00:05:15.670 --> 00:05:19.870
with that person. I can just hear about somebody saying,
94
00:05:19.870 --> 00:05:21.790
I'm already being tested.
95
00:05:21.790 --> 00:05:23.110
Maybe you are,
96
00:05:23.110 --> 00:05:27.160
and I believe this teaching's
really gonna help you.
97
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:31.390
Proverbs 16:32, I want you to look at that with me.
98
00:05:33.580 --> 00:05:36.790 line:15%
It says, this is amazing verse.
99
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:42.220 line:15%
It says - He who is slow to anger
100
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:45.910 line:15%
is better than the mighty.
101
00:05:46.750 --> 00:05:51.280 line:15%
And he who rules his spirit
than he who takes a city.
102
00:05:52.150 --> 00:05:54.910 line:15%
Now friend, you say, well that's great,
103
00:05:54.910 --> 00:05:56.560
but how can I do that?
104
00:05:57.470 --> 00:06:01.430
Well, if you're born again in your spirit,
105
00:06:01.430 --> 00:06:05.390
you have something called self-control.
106
00:06:05.390 --> 00:06:06.620
And out of
107
00:06:06.620 --> 00:06:11.330
that self-control comes patience:
108
00:06:11.330 --> 00:06:16.330
patience. So being slow to anger,
109
00:06:16.490 --> 00:06:19.250
look how powerful it is though.
110
00:06:19.250 --> 00:06:23.120
The Bible says that you're
better than the mighty.
111
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.130
You know, we all look at generals
112
00:06:25.130 --> 00:06:28.310
and people who have conquered cities
113
00:06:28.310 --> 00:06:31.820
and we think, wow, those
people are so powerful.
114
00:06:31.820 --> 00:06:36.560
Those, those men are ingenious. They're so due our honor.
115
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.960
And yes they are, due our honor.
116
00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:43.760
But this is God's opinion
about when you're patient
117
00:06:43.760 --> 00:06:48.710
and when you calm your anger, he says,
118
00:06:48.710 --> 00:06:50.750
you are better than the mighty.
119
00:06:50.750 --> 00:06:55.370
He says, you are better than the general
120
00:06:55.370 --> 00:06:58.070
who took that city friend.
121
00:06:58.070 --> 00:06:59.840
I think that's amazing.
122
00:06:59.840 --> 00:07:04.840
And for God to put an emphasis on on this,
123
00:07:04.850 --> 00:07:08.750
that means that it's really important
124
00:07:08.750 --> 00:07:12.950
that we learn to use our self-control
125
00:07:12.950 --> 00:07:15.320
and give patience to one another.
126
00:07:18.080 --> 00:07:21.980
So look at James 1:19.
127
00:07:21.980 --> 00:07:26.840 line:15%
And this verse is so helpful
128
00:07:26.840 --> 00:07:30.950 line:15%
and us giving patience to other people.
129
00:07:32.810 --> 00:07:35.930 line:15%
It says - So then, my beloved brethren,
130
00:07:35.930 --> 00:07:40.310 line:15%
let everyone, every man, be swift
131
00:07:40.310 --> 00:07:44.540 line:15%
to hear, slow to speak, slow
132
00:07:44.540 --> 00:07:47.990 line:15%
to wrath for the wrath
133
00:07:47.990 --> 00:07:51.290 line:15%
of man does not produce
the righteousness of God.
134
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.560 line:15%
So what are we supposed to be swift to?
135
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.520
We're supposed to be swift to hearing,
136
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:04.100
but we're supposed to be slow to 2-things: slow
137
00:08:04.100 --> 00:08:08.660
to speak and slow to wrath.
138
00:08:09.590 --> 00:08:13.070
Now, this word slow;
139
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:17.315
it's not
140
00:08:17.315 --> 00:08:21.830
a politically correct
word in our days these
141
00:08:21.830 --> 00:08:26.780
days, but it's almost like being retarded.
142
00:08:26.780 --> 00:08:31.730
Like you cannot react quickly
143
00:08:31.730 --> 00:08:33.860
in your situation.
144
00:08:33.860 --> 00:08:37.310
So, so being slow
145
00:08:37.310 --> 00:08:42.260
to speak is when a situation comes
146
00:08:42.260 --> 00:08:46.040
up and you need to give somebody patience.
147
00:08:46.040 --> 00:08:48.200
How are you going to give them patience?
148
00:08:49.580 --> 00:08:54.080
You're going to slow down.
149
00:08:56.220 --> 00:09:00.180
Just slow down. Just slow down.
150
00:09:00.180 --> 00:09:04.830
You can say, can you
give me just a minute?
151
00:09:04.830 --> 00:09:06.870
Maybe you have to excuse yourself.
152
00:09:06.870 --> 00:09:10.500
Maybe you have to go and count to 10 or 100,
153
00:09:10.500 --> 00:09:14.910
but you be the one who takes control.
154
00:09:14.910 --> 00:09:16.740
You can be the one
155
00:09:16.740 --> 00:09:20.490
who slow yourself down.
156
00:09:21.420 --> 00:09:23.070
It's really important.
157
00:09:24.180 --> 00:09:29.180
There's been so many relationships have been destroyed
158
00:09:29.370 --> 00:09:32.220
by people who didn't move slowly.
159
00:09:32.220 --> 00:09:34.170
They moved too quickly
160
00:09:34.170 --> 00:09:38.490
and they said things that
they should have never said
161
00:09:38.490 --> 00:09:40.560
and they broke the heart of the one
162
00:09:40.560 --> 00:09:42.240
who received those words.
163
00:09:43.830 --> 00:09:45.540
Maybe you've even done that
164
00:09:45.540 --> 00:09:47.700
or maybe somebody did that to you.
165
00:09:48.570 --> 00:09:52.260
Somebody said something
to you out out of anger
166
00:09:53.100 --> 00:09:55.500
and it broke your heart.
167
00:09:55.500 --> 00:09:59.880
And you even never to this day been able
168
00:09:59.880 --> 00:10:00.960
to get over that.
169
00:10:01.890 --> 00:10:05.850
Do you see how important it is
170
00:10:05.850 --> 00:10:09.720
to slow down our emotions
171
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:12.600
and our thoughts and our anger
172
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:16.830
and to listen to the
self-control that's in us
173
00:10:16.830 --> 00:10:18.450
by the spirit of God?
174
00:10:19.290 --> 00:10:23.820
When you got born again, the
spirit of God came into you
175
00:10:23.820 --> 00:10:28.140
and he brought all these fruits with him.
176
00:10:28.140 --> 00:10:32.730
And one of them is self, self-control
177
00:10:32.730 --> 00:10:36.000
and outta self-control,
178
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:38.310
we get patience.
179
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.950
You can actually give patience
180
00:10:43.950 --> 00:10:45.270
to somebody else.
181
00:10:46.110 --> 00:10:48.570
You can slow yourself down.
182
00:10:49.860 --> 00:10:53.220
Maybe you wanna say something, maybe it's like
183
00:10:53.220 --> 00:10:56.730
that hot tamale sauce that's kind of rising up on the inside
184
00:10:56.730 --> 00:10:58.980
of you and you're about to burst.
185
00:10:58.980 --> 00:11:03.420
Well, you can just slow that down.
186
00:11:04.860 --> 00:11:09.210
Recognize the self-control that's inside of you
187
00:11:09.210 --> 00:11:13.140
and give that person
188
00:11:14.460 --> 00:11:15.540
patience.
189
00:11:17.220 --> 00:11:20.970
It's really powerful, so powerful
190
00:11:20.970 --> 00:11:24.300
that the Bible says
it's more powerful than
191
00:11:24.300 --> 00:11:25.560
one who takes a city.
192
00:11:29.010 --> 00:11:32.430 line:15%
Look at Proverbs 4:26.
193
00:11:32.430 --> 00:11:36.870 line:15%
It says - To ponder the path of your feet.
194
00:11:38.250 --> 00:11:40.740 line:15%
Well, I've thought about
this verse many times
195
00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:44.220
because if you ponder,
if you think about it,
196
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.060
where are my emotions taking me?
197
00:11:48.060 --> 00:11:51.390
Where is my mind taking me right now?
198
00:11:51.390 --> 00:11:54.700
I need to think about that
199
00:11:55.570 --> 00:11:59.230
and I need to change my actions.
200
00:12:01.330 --> 00:12:04.780
Maybe it's, it's somebody
requiring your patience
201
00:12:05.890 --> 00:12:09.880
and you are on a path to show your anger.
202
00:12:09.880 --> 00:12:13.120
You're on your path to
show your criticism.
203
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.330
You're on your path to
bring judgment to them.
204
00:12:17.830 --> 00:12:21.790
And as it said in James 1:19,
205
00:12:21.790 --> 00:12:23.290
you just need to slow down
206
00:12:23.290 --> 00:12:28.270
and you need to think: what am I -
207
00:12:28.270 --> 00:12:29.830
where is my feet -
208
00:12:29.830 --> 00:12:34.600
where my emotion - where is my mind taking me right now?
209
00:12:35.830 --> 00:12:37.060
Think about it. That's
210
00:12:37.060 --> 00:12:41.350 line:15%
what it says in Proverbs 4:26.
211
00:12:42.280 --> 00:12:47.205 line:15%
And that self-control that
God gave you, that spirit,
212
00:12:47.205 --> 00:12:51.460
that fruit of the spirit on the inside of you,
213
00:12:51.460 --> 00:12:52.480
it's not broken.
214
00:12:53.800 --> 00:12:56.920
It's working really good, but you
215
00:12:56.920 --> 00:13:00.760
and I, we have to slow down enough
216
00:13:00.760 --> 00:13:05.110
to listen to what's on the inside of us.
217
00:13:05.950 --> 00:13:07.900
You know, in doing this teaching,
218
00:13:07.900 --> 00:13:09.790
I start thinking about Jesus.
219
00:13:12.280 --> 00:13:16.840
And I started thinking
about the amazing patience,
220
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:20.710
self-control that he showed.
221
00:13:20.710 --> 00:13:23.410
And the Bible says that Jesus,
222
00:13:23.410 --> 00:13:26.500
it says this in 2nd Corinthians,
223
00:13:26.500 --> 00:13:28.210
it's the last chapter.
224
00:13:28.210 --> 00:13:31.210
It says, don't you know
225
00:13:31.210 --> 00:13:35.470
that Jesus Christ himself lives in you?
226
00:13:37.150 --> 00:13:41.800
So friend the Jesus I'm gonna
talk to you about right here
227
00:13:41.800 --> 00:13:45.850
and what he did, that same Jesus
228
00:13:45.850 --> 00:13:47.770
lives in you.
229
00:13:48.700 --> 00:13:53.700 line:15%
And look at how Jesus,
in a most critical hour
230
00:13:54.010 --> 00:13:59.010
before he was going to be
crucified, all the patience
231
00:13:59.075 --> 00:14:03.490 line:15%
that he gave to people right
232
00:14:03.490 --> 00:14:07.210
before he was going to be
crucified, he was listening
233
00:14:07.210 --> 00:14:08.710
to the disciples
234
00:14:08.710 --> 00:14:13.120
and they were arguing over who
was going to be the greatest.
235
00:14:14.230 --> 00:14:17.590
Can you imagine Jesus is getting ready to lay down his life
236
00:14:17.590 --> 00:14:20.110
for the world and his disciples,
237
00:14:20.110 --> 00:14:23.260
who's he's given 3-years of his life to,
238
00:14:23.260 --> 00:14:26.200
they're still talking about
who's gonna be the greatest.
239
00:14:27.220 --> 00:14:29.410
He had to show great patience.
240
00:14:30.400 --> 00:14:34.600
What about when Judas went to betray Jesus?
241
00:14:35.860 --> 00:14:40.720
Jesus said, the one that puts his bread
242
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:44.320
in the wine, this is the one and
243
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:46.660
and it says that Judas left quickly.
244
00:14:46.660 --> 00:14:49.840
Jesus said to Judas, go do
245
00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:52.460
what you're gonna do quickly.
246
00:14:53.420 --> 00:14:57.770
The patience, the self-control that Jesus had.
247
00:14:57.770 --> 00:15:00.380
And do you know that Jesus,
248
00:15:00.380 --> 00:15:02.780
I was meditating on this one day,
249
00:15:02.780 --> 00:15:07.520
this was a secret. He never told one of the disciples.
250
00:15:07.520 --> 00:15:11.630
He never said, Judas is the betrayer.
251
00:15:11.630 --> 00:15:15.530
He never said, Judas is leaving to betray me.
252
00:15:15.530 --> 00:15:16.790
He never said it.
253
00:15:17.870 --> 00:15:22.460
And I thought to myself, this
is not about patience, but,
254
00:15:22.460 --> 00:15:26.150
but I thought to myself,
when you're called on to
255
00:15:27.470 --> 00:15:28.520
hold a secret,
256
00:15:29.930 --> 00:15:33.260
you know something about someone
257
00:15:33.260 --> 00:15:37.070
and it could just damage them if you told it
258
00:15:37.070 --> 00:15:39.290
or how they treated you.
259
00:15:39.290 --> 00:15:40.910
You wanna tell everybody.
260
00:15:40.910 --> 00:15:43.190
You want people to feel sorry for you.
261
00:15:43.190 --> 00:15:47.750
I mean, I don't know what you
feel, but you have a secret.
262
00:15:47.750 --> 00:15:51.590
And you've thought to yourself - Oh I'm so righteous
263
00:15:51.590 --> 00:15:53.270
because I keep this secret.
264
00:15:54.620 --> 00:15:57.650
This is the secret of the ages,
265
00:15:58.910 --> 00:16:03.910
that the man who is gonna
betray the son of God
266
00:16:04.190 --> 00:16:06.770
and Jesus told no one.
267
00:16:08.210 --> 00:16:12.080
No one. Jesus
268
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.150
kept that secret.
269
00:16:14.150 --> 00:16:19.150
You and I can keep things
that should be kept
270
00:16:19.310 --> 00:16:24.140
and not tell anyone because
that's exactly what Jesus did.
271
00:16:26.930 --> 00:16:30.290
What about when He asked the disciples,
272
00:16:30.290 --> 00:16:32.780
this is the only time he
asked the disciples to pray
273
00:16:32.780 --> 00:16:34.640
that we know about.
274
00:16:34.640 --> 00:16:36.500
He asked them to pray.
275
00:16:38.300 --> 00:16:43.300
He's, he's suffering in
Gethsemane. He, he He, he His.
276
00:16:43.700 --> 00:16:45.980
His sweat is turning to blood.
277
00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:48.680
He is buried such mental pressure
278
00:16:48.680 --> 00:16:51.080
and he asks them to pray
279
00:16:51.950 --> 00:16:55.970
and he goes to see them
and they're asleep.
280
00:16:56.990 --> 00:16:59.600
How much patience would that take?
281
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:02.300
Couldn't you have just stayed with me?
282
00:17:02.300 --> 00:17:06.050
Couldn't you just have prayed with me?
283
00:17:06.050 --> 00:17:08.060
He could have said all kinds of things
284
00:17:08.060 --> 00:17:11.780
to the disciples about that; he didn't.
285
00:17:11.780 --> 00:17:16.370
He gave all that patience, all
that love to those disciples.
286
00:17:18.260 --> 00:17:20.450
Judas comes up
287
00:17:20.450 --> 00:17:24.500
and he kisses the son of man on the cheek.
288
00:17:24.500 --> 00:17:28.250
That is how he identified Jesus.
289
00:17:28.250 --> 00:17:31.700
You have to have so much
patience for all this stuff
290
00:17:31.700 --> 00:17:36.700
to not get angry, to not
just scream, to not just say,
291
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:38.630
I've given my life to you.
292
00:17:38.630 --> 00:17:40.070
And look how you're acting.
293
00:17:40.070 --> 00:17:42.650
I mean, Jesus could have said all those
294
00:17:42.650 --> 00:17:44.630
things, but he didn't.
295
00:17:44.630 --> 00:17:48.170
He gave them patience and love.
296
00:17:49.560 --> 00:17:52.320
And then Peter, Peter:
297
00:17:53.670 --> 00:17:57.150
Jesus is getting ready to lay his life down.
298
00:17:57.150 --> 00:17:59.430
And Peter picks up a sword
299
00:17:59.430 --> 00:18:03.690
and cuts off the servant
of the high priest's ear.
300
00:18:05.130 --> 00:18:08.490
Oh, Jesus could have gone just Peter.
301
00:18:08.490 --> 00:18:11.610
Can't you just hold, hold it.
302
00:18:11.610 --> 00:18:15.000
I mean, he could have said
all kinds of things to Peter.
303
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.610
He had so much patience.
304
00:18:17.610 --> 00:18:21.840
He said in one of the gospels,
305
00:18:21.840 --> 00:18:23.220
just give me a minute.
306
00:18:24.150 --> 00:18:27.630
We don't know if Jesus picked
up the ear off the ground
307
00:18:27.630 --> 00:18:30.600
and put it on the the servant's head
308
00:18:30.600 --> 00:18:32.610
or if he just created a new ear,
309
00:18:33.930 --> 00:18:36.390
but he just
310
00:18:37.590 --> 00:18:42.330
fixed the problem that Peter caused.
311
00:18:42.330 --> 00:18:44.130
Jesus had patience.
312
00:18:47.580 --> 00:18:50.760
That very patience is in
313
00:18:50.760 --> 00:18:52.620
you right now.
314
00:18:53.460 --> 00:18:57.480
You say, that's not me.
No, it's inside of you.
315
00:18:58.410 --> 00:19:01.890
It's really on the inside of you.
316
00:19:01.890 --> 00:19:03.660
When you got born again,
317
00:19:03.660 --> 00:19:07.050
the Holy Spirit did an amazing thing.
318
00:19:07.050 --> 00:19:12.050
He spread all over your heart,
through the Holy Spirit,
319
00:19:12.330 --> 00:19:15.330
the love of God.
320
00:19:15.330 --> 00:19:18.630
Well, in the love of God,
it's the very same love of God
321
00:19:18.630 --> 00:19:20.790
that Jesus was operating in
322
00:19:20.790 --> 00:19:23.250
and giving patience to all these people.
323
00:19:23.250 --> 00:19:27.330
Well, that very same love of God is inside
324
00:19:27.330 --> 00:19:28.860
of you.
325
00:19:28.860 --> 00:19:30.570
It's right inside of you.
326
00:19:30.570 --> 00:19:33.390
But you and I have got to recognize it
327
00:19:33.390 --> 00:19:35.460
and we've got to practice it.
328
00:19:35.460 --> 00:19:39.180
We've got to agree with it. We've got to say, you know what?
329
00:19:39.180 --> 00:19:41.160
I can act higher than this.
330
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:44.760
I do not have to lose my temper.
331
00:19:44.760 --> 00:19:48.000
I do not have to say things
that I've said before.
332
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.420
I can slow down,
333
00:19:52.860 --> 00:19:57.860
just slow down like it says in James
334
00:19:57.930 --> 00:19:59.670
1:19.
335
00:20:00.630 --> 00:20:05.630
Now look with me at James 1 and it's verse 3.
336
00:20:05.820 --> 00:20:09.600
And this is so powerful.
337
00:20:09.600 --> 00:20:14.250
It says - Knowing - this is chapter 1:3 -
338
00:20:14.250 --> 00:20:17.820 line:15%
of James - knowing that the testing
339
00:20:17.820 --> 00:20:22.820 line:15%
of your faith produces patience.
340
00:20:23.040 --> 00:20:27.630 line:15%
But let patience have its perfect
341
00:20:27.630 --> 00:20:32.310 line:15%
work that you may be perfect
and complete, lacking nothing.
342
00:20:32.310 --> 00:20:36.030 line:15%
Patience is a worker.
343
00:20:36.030 --> 00:20:37.680
I look this up in the Greek
344
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.430
and it says that patience is a worker.
345
00:20:41.430 --> 00:20:45.960
It wants to work, it wants to do
346
00:20:47.500 --> 00:20:50.590
his occupation or his job.
347
00:20:50.590 --> 00:20:55.590
So let's say that something is happening
348
00:20:55.960 --> 00:21:00.190
and you let patience work
349
00:21:01.330 --> 00:21:03.580
like a, like a worker.
350
00:21:03.580 --> 00:21:06.340
Like a worker who's clearing a road
351
00:21:06.340 --> 00:21:10.210
and you let that worker clear the road so
352
00:21:10.210 --> 00:21:11.590
that you can go through.
353
00:21:11.590 --> 00:21:16.300
Well, when we let patience operate,
354
00:21:16.300 --> 00:21:19.630
we let love come through.
355
00:21:21.370 --> 00:21:25.870
That is powerful. Friend,
356
00:21:25.870 --> 00:21:29.980
we've got to let patience, the patience,
357
00:21:29.980 --> 00:21:33.460
the self-control, that
sound on the inside of you.
358
00:21:33.460 --> 00:21:37.870
We've got to let it work for us
359
00:21:37.870 --> 00:21:42.280
and be that instrument of love.
360
00:21:44.770 --> 00:21:47.860
Powerful. You
361
00:21:47.860 --> 00:21:51.430
and I don't have an excuse.
362
00:21:53.050 --> 00:21:56.290
We might have a reason that
we wanna act a certain way,
363
00:21:56.290 --> 00:21:58.570
but we don't have an excuse
364
00:21:58.570 --> 00:22:02.740
because Jesus has given
us through the new birth
365
00:22:02.740 --> 00:22:05.560
by the Holy Spirit, the love of God
366
00:22:05.560 --> 00:22:07.210
that's on the inside of us.
367
00:22:07.210 --> 00:22:10.540
The same love that Jesus operated in
368
00:22:10.540 --> 00:22:14.440
as we see right before his crucifixion.
369
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:17.410
That same love is inside of you.
370
00:22:18.430 --> 00:22:21.610
And we can operate from that place of love
371
00:22:21.610 --> 00:22:24.430
or self-control, if you wanna call it that,
372
00:22:24.430 --> 00:22:28.480
and give that patience to others.
373
00:22:29.830 --> 00:22:33.160
Well, I want you to stay with
me 'cause I'm coming back
374
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:34.900
and we're gonna pray together.
375
00:22:35.800 --> 00:22:38.650

Oh, I think it'll be very

415
00:24:27.950 --> 00:24:32.600 line:15%
I also want to offer you again, it's a free offer to you,
416
00:24:33.620 --> 00:24:37.070 line:15%
Gift Of Forgiveness and Redeemed From Shame.
417
00:24:38.840 --> 00:24:42.350 line:15%
Many years ago, my life
was covered with shame
418
00:24:42.350 --> 00:24:44.930 line:15%
because of an illness that I'd had
419
00:24:44.930 --> 00:24:48.500 line:15%
and it affected my appearance so much,
420
00:24:48.500 --> 00:24:51.440 line:15%
and I just didn't feel quite as worthy
421
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:54.200 line:15%
or as as good as other people.
422
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:56.570
And I carried that shame for years,
423
00:24:56.570 --> 00:25:00.110 line:15%
and I never knew that
I could be free of it.
424
00:25:00.110 --> 00:25:03.890 line:15%
And when I discovered what
Jesus did on the cross
425
00:25:04.940 --> 00:25:09.530 line:15%
to deliver us from shame, I was free.
426
00:25:09.530 --> 00:25:11.990 line:15%
And that's what this book is about.
427
00:25:11.990 --> 00:25:16.610 line:15%
And it's free to you and
also Gift Of Forgiveness.
428
00:25:16.610 --> 00:25:20.900 line:15%
Maybe there's somebody that
you need to give that gift to,
429
00:25:20.900 --> 00:25:22.970 line:15%
you need to let 'em go.
430
00:25:22.970 --> 00:25:27.500 line:15%
You need to set 'em free.
Well, this is yours free.
431
00:25:27.500 --> 00:25:28.730 line:15%
Just let us know.
432
00:25:29.870 --> 00:25:33.050 line:15%
Father, I thank you
right now for the power
433
00:25:33.050 --> 00:25:37.460 line:15%
of the Holy Spirit that
is inside of my friend
434
00:25:37.460 --> 00:25:42.050 line:15%
and Lord, that right now
we can recognize your power
435
00:25:42.050 --> 00:25:43.730
inside of us
436
00:25:43.730 --> 00:25:48.560
and give that patience to others.
437
00:25:48.560 --> 00:25:53.560
We thank you for it, in Jesus' name - Amen.
438
00:25:53.660 --> 00:25:56.570
Well, I enjoyed being with you so much.
439
00:25:56.570 --> 00:25:58.580
Join me on my next program.
440
00:26:00.110 --> 00:26:03.290
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
441
00:26:03.290 --> 00:26:08.290 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
442
00:26:08.420 --> 00:26:10.640
Jesus has to give you.
443
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:14.990 line:15%
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
444
00:26:14.990 --> 00:26:19.670
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
445
00:26:19.670 --> 00:26:22.970
and Lord. Wash away my sin
446
00:26:22.970 --> 00:26:25.610
and make me completely new.
447
00:26:25.610 --> 00:26:27.950
I thank you that my sin is removed
448
00:26:27.950 --> 00:26:32.950
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
449
00:26:33.050 --> 00:26:38.050
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
450
00:26:38.090 --> 00:26:40.700
for the rest of my life.
451
00:26:40.700 --> 00:26:41.700
Amen.
452
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:47.670
If you just prayed the
prayer of salvation with us,
453
00:26:47.670 --> 00:26:49.590
would you please let us know by going
454
00:26:49.590 --> 00:26:52.560

We would love to connect with you.
456
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:09.360 line:15%
Perhaps I have to do another test.
457
00:27:10.560 --> 00:27:13.260
The only thing to do is to wait.
458
00:27:16.350 --> 00:27:20.310
I wish things have gone another way. I want to be healthy.
459
00:27:23.190 --> 00:27:26.550 line:15%
If there is no one to
support you, don't give up.

463

If two of you shall agree on
earth as touching anything
464
00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:48.540 line:15%
that they shall ask, it shall
be done for them of my Father,
465
00:27:48.540 --> 00:27:49.380 line:15%
which is in Heaven.
