Class 3 from Bro. Mark Giordano\u2019s series on \u201cThe God of All Comfort\u201d<\/p>\n
Class 5 from this series was used for GCT Episode 158.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:05,800 –> 00:00:10,400
\nComfort, is entitled comfort in
\nabuse and retribution in the <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:10,400 –> 00:00:23,000
\nKingdom of the mark.
\nBrothers and sisters, thank you <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:23,000 –> 00:00:26,800
\nfor bearing with me through this
\none of the roller coaster ride <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:26,800 –> 00:00:35,400
\nof emotions and joy, is in the
\nfuture. it’s going to get a <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:35,408 –> 00:00:39,500
\nlittle bit darker now for this
\none, but it’s important because <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:39,500 –> 00:00:48,200
\nof the pervasive.
\nFactor of this particular <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:48,200 –> 00:00:51,400
\nproblem.
\nIt’s the kind of we’re speaking <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:51,400 –> 00:00:55,400
\nnow about comfort in abuse and
\nthe recompense for in the <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:55,400 –> 00:00:59,000
\nKingdom.
\nAnd abuse is one of those kinds <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:59,000 –> 00:01:03,400
\nof things that don’t really hit
\nyou until you come face-to-face <\/p>\n
12
\n00:01:03,400 –> 00:01:06,800
\nwith it and then it becomes a
\npenetrating nightmare. <\/p>\n
13
\n00:01:09,200 –> 00:01:15,300
\nConsuming her things from direct
\npersonal experience with another<\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:15,300 –> 00:01:19,600
\nsister.
\nIn our Alicia, one that I grew <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:19,600 –> 00:01:23,400
\nup with new all her life and had
\nno idea what was going on in the<\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:23,408 –> 00:01:29,000
\nbackground of her life, but it’s
\nimportant because like I said, <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:29,000 –> 00:01:33,300
\nit’s a pervasive problem.
\nBut it’s also a problem that God<\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:33,300 –> 00:01:37,500
\nis very much aware of and his
\nrecompense in the kingdom, is <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:37,500 –> 00:01:39,100
\ngoing to cover abuse at all
\nlevels. <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:39,100 –> 00:01:42,200
\nAnd you think about it.
\nThere are despotic rulers of <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:42,200 –> 00:01:46,400
\nNations who are abusive to the
\nto all the peoples in their <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:47,100 –> 00:01:52,300
\nregime.
\nSo, abuse starts at a very high <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:52,300 –> 00:01:58,000
\nlevel in the Spiritual hosts of
\nwickedness in high places in the<\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:58,000 –> 00:02:03,300
\nworld and works its way all the
\nway down into homes, where <\/p>\n
25
\n00:02:04,600 –> 00:02:08,900
\nhorrible things are done and
\npeople are helplessly bound to <\/p>\n
26
\n00:02:08,900 –> 00:02:14,700
\ntheir own personal nightmare
\nabuse is the 9 million pound <\/p>\n
27
\n00:02:14,700 –> 00:02:18,700
\ngorilla in the world.
\nGorilla, that’s very hard to <\/p>\n
28
\n00:02:18,700 –> 00:02:24,400
\nsee, but it is there.
\nSo, because of what the sister <\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:24,400 –> 00:02:28,700
\nwent through, and because I
\nknow, statistically, and <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:28,700 –> 00:02:32,500
\nfactually the level of
\npervasiveness of this problem. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:33,500 –> 00:02:36,400
\nI felt that it was important to
\nbring this segment to Ecclesia <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:36,400 –> 00:02:39,300
\nit’s because in the Norfolk
\nEcclesia we had to do something <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:39,300 –> 00:02:44,900
\nabout it and we’ll go over that
\nwhen we get into our remarks <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:44,900 –> 00:02:49,800
\nhere news is I want to show you
\nthe scope of the problem in the <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:49,800 –> 00:02:55,300
\nworld its domestic abuse is
\nknown as the invisible prime. <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:56,400 –> 00:03:01,700
\nIt involves child exploitation
\nwhich Professionals in the field<\/p>\n
37
\n00:03:01,900 –> 00:03:07,100
\nregard as Optional, homicide
\nother words, it destroys someone<\/p>\n
38
\n00:03:07,100 –> 00:03:12,200
\nemotionally.
\nThe problem is so pervasive that<\/p>\n
39
\n00:03:12,200 –> 00:03:15,800
\nyou either know, someone who is
\nsuffering from abuse or you have<\/p>\n
40
\n00:03:15,800 –> 00:03:19,100
\nknown someone or you yourself,
\nor suffering from abuse or you <\/p>\n
41
\n00:03:19,100 –> 00:03:23,800
\nmay even be hiding abuse
\ncovering it unwillingly or <\/p>\n
42
\n00:03:23,800 –> 00:03:27,600
\nwillingly covering it.
\nBut in any case, it’s pervasive <\/p>\n
43
\n00:03:27,600 –> 00:03:29,900
\nenough for all of us to have
\ncome into contact, unless you’re<\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:29,900 –> 00:03:32,700
\nvery young.
\nAnd just having yet with someone<\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:32,800 –> 00:03:35,400
\nwho is, Is being abused or has
\nbeen abused. <\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:36,300 –> 00:03:40,300
\nThe British a British crime
\nsurvey said that abuse affects 1<\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:40,300 –> 00:03:46,600
\nin 4 women.
\nAnd 1 in 6, men, 30 is an <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:46,600 –> 00:03:52,700
\naverage of 35 assaults against a
\nvictim before they call police <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:52,900 –> 00:03:55,600
\nand this can take place over
\nyears of time. <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:56,400 –> 00:03:59,700
\nThese statistics are kind of
\nhorrifying just to consider as <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:59,700 –> 00:04:04,000
\nmany as 70 percent of homeless
\nwomen report, domestic abuse. <\/p>\n
52
\n00:04:04,000 –> 00:04:07,000
\nWe’ve already spoken about in
\nSister Dawn’s life but she’s not<\/p>\n
53
\n00:04:07,000 –> 00:04:08,600
\nthe case.
\nThat will present in the <\/p>\n
54
\n00:04:08,600 –> 00:04:12,500
\ntestimony today right now.
\nIt’s generational. <\/p>\n
55
\n00:04:13,500 –> 00:04:17,800
\nAnd abused children themselves
\ngrow up to be abusers in child. <\/p>\n
56
\n00:04:17,800 –> 00:04:23,700
\nExploitation, the statistics are
\nnow one in three girls and one <\/p>\n
57
\n00:04:23,700 –> 00:04:26,500
\nin five, boys are exploited
\nbefore. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:04:26,500 –> 00:04:31,100
\nThey are 18 and the me to the
\nmovement is evidence of this. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:04:31,100 –> 00:04:35,600
\nThe problems with the Olympics,
\nthe problems in colleges that <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:35,600 –> 00:04:38,700
\nused to be a problem Day, School
\ncenters of particular problem. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:38,700 –> 00:04:42,400
\nIn the hierarchy of the Catholic
\nchurch and its cover-up of <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:42,400 –> 00:04:45,200
\nabuse.
\nAll of those things affect these<\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:45,200 –> 00:04:48,200
\nstatistics of every, this is
\ncommon knowledge in the news <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:48,200 –> 00:04:51,600
\nthese days in our lives.
\nSo I don’t have to kind of <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:51,600 –> 00:04:57,300
\nimpress you with the legitimacy
\nof this statistic, 90% of the <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:57,308 –> 00:04:59,600
\nvictims, know the perpetrator in
\nsome way. <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:59,600 –> 00:05:06,200
\nAnd 68% of the perpetrators are
\nin the family. 95% of the people<\/p>\n
68
\n00:05:06,200 –> 00:05:16,600
\nwho are abusers used churches or
\nreligious as covers. 2.9 Million<\/p>\n
69
\n00:05:16,600 –> 00:05:19,900
\ncases were reported, are
\nreported in the US every year. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:05:19,900 –> 00:05:23,100
\nWe’re going to talk a little bit
\nabout reporting because not <\/p>\n
71
\n00:05:23,100 –> 00:05:28,200
\nreporting is almost as much a
\nproblem as the abuse itself. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:05:29,800 –> 00:05:35,100
\nOne perpetrator can have as many
\nas 300 victims in a lifetime. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:05:36,000 –> 00:05:38,700
\nWe kind of have a sense of that
\nin the news. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:38,700 –> 00:05:40,700
\nThese are things.
\nWe don’t want to think about. <\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:40,900 –> 00:05:43,400
\nSo we’re going to put all this
\ninto a scriptural context and <\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:43,400 –> 00:05:46,800
\nthink about it in.
\nFrom the Vantage of God’s <\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:46,800 –> 00:05:52,500
\nperspective because there’s
\nalways an advantage in God’s <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:52,600 –> 00:05:58,500
\nperspective.
\nWe know a sister who suffered <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:58,500 –> 00:06:01,900
\nfrom decades, literally from
\nDecades of unrelenting peace. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:06:01,900 –> 00:06:03,700
\nAnd she’s not the only one and
\nEcclesia. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:06:03,900 –> 00:06:06,400
\nI was shocked one time there was
\nan old, this is just an example <\/p>\n
82
\n00:06:06,400 –> 00:06:09,200
\nas an aside, there’s an old
\nolder sister who had been <\/p>\n
83
\n00:06:09,200 –> 00:06:11,100
\nwidowed for many years in her
\nlife. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:06:11,700 –> 00:06:14,300
\nShe lived to be, I think a
\nhundred years old. <\/p>\n
85
\n00:06:14,700 –> 00:06:19,600
\nBut sometime around time, she
\nwas in her late, 70s or 80s. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:06:20,700 –> 00:06:22,900
\nShe got upset over something
\nthat had happened. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:06:22,900 –> 00:06:25,000
\nIt was not relevant to anything
\nthat we would. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:06:25,000 –> 00:06:30,700
\nWe would need to About here.
\nBut she told me in the emotion <\/p>\n
89
\n00:06:30,700 –> 00:06:33,700
\nof the moment, she said I was on
\nthe floor on my hands and knees,<\/p>\n
90
\n00:06:33,700 –> 00:06:35,500
\nand my husband had a gun to my
\nhead. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:35,500 –> 00:06:39,300
\nSo don’t Don’t tell me about
\nthat. <\/p>\n
92
\n00:06:39,800 –> 00:06:43,600
\nAnd, and when you hear someone
\nsay something like that, you <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:43,608 –> 00:06:46,600
\ndon’t appreciate really what
\nthey must have actually gone <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:46,600 –> 00:06:48,800
\nthrough when that happened in a
\nsituation. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:51,100 –> 00:06:53,800
\nSo speaking, now that was just
\nan aside. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:53,800 –> 00:06:57,900
\nSpeaking of the sister whose
\ntestimony is in this part, she <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:57,900 –> 00:07:00,700
\nwent through Decades of
\nunrelenting abuse and we didn’t <\/p>\n
98
\n00:07:00,700 –> 00:07:03,500
\nknow about it, we used to say
\nthat she was only happy if she’s<\/p>\n
99
\n00:07:03,500 –> 00:07:05,900
\nmiserable and we had no idea
\nwhat was making her so <\/p>\n
100
\n00:07:05,900 –> 00:07:07,300
\nmiserable.
\nI don’t know. <\/p>\n
101
\n00:07:07,500 –> 00:07:12,300
\nIndia until her husband moved
\ninto our Ecclesia as a baptized <\/p>\n
102
\n00:07:12,300 –> 00:07:16,700
\nmember and spent eight years.
\nThey’re using the Ecclesia as a <\/p>\n
103
\n00:07:16,700 –> 00:07:18,800
\ncover for his abuse.
\nAnd because he was in our <\/p>\n
104
\n00:07:18,800 –> 00:07:20,800
\nequation because
\nchristadelphians are so close in<\/p>\n
105
\n00:07:20,800 –> 00:07:24,200
\nit.
\nWe kind of found out about this <\/p>\n
106
\n00:07:24,700 –> 00:07:28,600
\nin somewhere around fifth year
\nfor the next three years. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:28,600 –> 00:07:31,700
\nTried to work with it.
\nWe had been working with their <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:31,700 –> 00:07:33,900
\nmarriage and all kinds of
\ndifferent ways for the whole <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:33,900 –> 00:07:36,200
\neight year period.
\nHe was in there came in in a <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:36,207 –> 00:07:40,800
\nmarital crisis.
\nAnd left and a mirror crisis but<\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:40,800 –> 00:07:46,000
\nit was a really prevailing
\nproblem and it consumed <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:46,000 –> 00:07:51,000
\npractically the entire equation,
\nparticularly consumed our lives <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:51,000 –> 00:07:53,400
\non the arranging board and
\nsister Jean and I as we got <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:53,400 –> 00:07:58,100
\ncloser and closer to his family
\nand discovered more and more and<\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:58,100 –> 00:08:02,900
\nmore about what was under the
\nsurface, being glossed over with<\/p>\n
116
\n00:08:02,900 –> 00:08:08,300
\nguys of spiritual.
\nSpirituality. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:08:10,500 –> 00:08:12,500
\nThis is a brief description of
\nmuch more. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:08:12,500 –> 00:08:15,300
\nThere’s much more actually on
\nthe website that you can go and <\/p>\n
119
\n00:08:15,300 –> 00:08:19,200
\nread everything she that you
\nmight want to hit would be a <\/p>\n
120
\n00:08:19,200 –> 00:08:22,500
\nvalue to you if you wanted to
\nidentify the kinds of things <\/p>\n
121
\n00:08:22,500 –> 00:08:24,700
\nthat people going through,
\nbecause you have a suspicion <\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:24,700 –> 00:08:27,200
\nthat something’s going on.
\nIt’s someone’s life that, you <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:27,200 –> 00:08:30,100
\nknow, otherwise you probably
\ndon’t want to read any anything <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:30,100 –> 00:08:31,700
\nabout this, but this is what she
\nsays. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:32,299 –> 00:08:34,000
\nAbout her Terror and her
\nexhaustion. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:34,400 –> 00:08:38,500
\nMy body is really giving out.
\nIt’s a simple statement but it’s<\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:38,500 –> 00:08:40,400
\nnot an understatement in her
\ncase. <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:40,400 –> 00:08:42,799
\nIt’s getting harder for me even
\nto work though. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:42,799 –> 00:08:45,900
\nI know that I have to what her
\nhusband had done to her among <\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:45,900 –> 00:08:49,000
\nmany other things and her
\nchildren is, he had consigned <\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:49,000 –> 00:08:53,400
\nher to a life of work where he
\nwouldn’t pay the bills. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:53,400 –> 00:08:56,900
\nBecause he knew that if he
\nforced her to work as a cleaning<\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:57,100 –> 00:09:00,500
\nperson in people’s homes that
\nshe would bring enough income <\/p>\n
134
\n00:09:00,500 –> 00:09:03,700
\nhome to defray the burden that
\nhe, otherwise would have to <\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:03,708 –> 00:09:06,700
\nspend his money on.
\nHe kept his money in the dark <\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:06,700 –> 00:09:11,100
\nand the Background and it just
\nconsigned her to a life of <\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:11,400 –> 00:09:16,500
\nenslaved her to hard labor.
\nMy physical body may not be able<\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:16,500 –> 00:09:18,700
\nto handle it right.
\nNow, if the work comes, I will <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:18,700 –> 00:09:21,400
\ncertainly do it.
\nSomehow all these years of abuse<\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:21,400 –> 00:09:24,600
\naffected me mentally, but now is
\naffecting me physically. <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:24,700 –> 00:09:27,300
\nThe stress is just making me
\nfeel so very drained. <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:27,900 –> 00:09:31,100
\nThis evil man has got to be
\nstopped before he kills me and <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:31,100 –> 00:09:32,900
\nmy kids.
\nThat’s the part that’s <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:32,900 –> 00:09:36,600
\nhighlighted in the section
\nbecause everyone in his family <\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:36,600 –> 00:09:38,600
\nthought that he would eventually
\nkill them. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:09:39,300 –> 00:09:42,100
\nSo the other among the other
\nthings that he did was he <\/p>\n
147
\n00:09:42,100 –> 00:09:47,700
\nsuspended the family in Austin
\nfear of physical harm, he never <\/p>\n
148
\n00:09:47,700 –> 00:09:50,300
\nreally followed through with it.
\nBut every made everyone in the <\/p>\n
149
\n00:09:50,300 –> 00:09:53,800
\nfamily certain that he was
\ncapable of it and all but <\/p>\n
150
\n00:09:53,800 –> 00:09:57,300
\npromised it by his behavior and
\nhis tone, the things he would <\/p>\n
151
\n00:09:57,300 –> 00:10:00,700
\nsay to people.
\nHe also had a collection of guns<\/p>\n
152
\n00:10:00,700 –> 00:10:02,700
\nso that made it all the more
\nbelievable. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:04,600 –> 00:10:07,000
\nSo this raises a question, I’m
\ngoing to go too far into what <\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:07,000 –> 00:10:09,000
\nshe suffered.
\nMaybe that’s sufficient to say <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:09,000 –> 00:10:11,500
\nit was decades of time.
\nWe got very close to it. <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:11,500 –> 00:10:15,900
\nIt it overwhelmed our lives in
\nTo extricate her from this <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:15,900 –> 00:10:18,600
\ncondition.
\nBut then we started thinking <\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:18,600 –> 00:10:20,800
\nabout all the factors that are
\ninvolved, some of them are <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:20,800 –> 00:10:24,000
\npractical, many of them are
\nscriptural, and some of them are<\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:24,000 –> 00:10:26,200
\necclesial.
\nSo I’m going to go through a <\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:26,200 –> 00:10:31,600
\nseries of components in this
\nparticular part that will deal <\/p>\n
162
\n00:10:31,600 –> 00:10:33,200
\nwith each of those
\nconsiderations in. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:10:33,200 –> 00:10:37,200
\nThe first, big question is with
\nwomen who suffer from abusive <\/p>\n
164
\n00:10:37,200 –> 00:10:40,600
\nhusbands and the focus here is
\non men who are abusive, there <\/p>\n
165
\n00:10:40,600 –> 00:10:43,400
\nare women these days that are
\njust as abusive, but this <\/p>\n
166
\n00:10:43,400 –> 00:10:46,000
\nparticular segment, On these
\nwere men. <\/p>\n
167
\n00:10:46,000 –> 00:10:48,800
\nAnd so the question is, why
\nwomen stay with a man who is <\/p>\n
168
\n00:10:48,800 –> 00:10:52,700
\nabusive and we go down this
\nlist, you’ll see why they do and<\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:52,700 –> 00:10:55,300
\nhow this could even fit into the
\nMatrix of a christadelphians, <\/p>\n
170
\n00:10:55,300 –> 00:11:00,400
\nEcclesia, because of the threats
\nto harm the victims of the loved<\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:00,400 –> 00:11:02,300
\nones of the pets.
\nIn this case, there was a pet <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:02,300 –> 00:11:05,600
\nand the threat was always there
\nto harm any of these are so <\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:05,600 –> 00:11:08,000
\nreal.
\nThat the family, the woman is <\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:08,000 –> 00:11:10,600
\nliterally suspended in fear,
\nshe’s Frozen, she can’t do <\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:10,600 –> 00:11:12,500
\nanything because she knows that
\nshe does. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:11:12,600 –> 00:11:14,000
\nSomeone else is going to pay the
\nprice. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:11:14,000 –> 00:11:18,300
\nSo, It’s sort of like the kids
\nand the pets become hostages for<\/p>\n
178
\n00:11:18,500 –> 00:11:24,600
\nhis for her her secrecy, there
\nare threats of suicide or <\/p>\n
179
\n00:11:24,600 –> 00:11:26,400
\nattempts.
\nSo if there’s a threat of <\/p>\n
180
\n00:11:26,400 –> 00:11:30,100
\nsuicide you don’t want to kill
\nsomebody who’s abusive to you <\/p>\n
181
\n00:11:30,700 –> 00:11:32,900
\nwho says he’ll kill himself if
\nyou tell. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:11:33,700 –> 00:11:36,600
\nSo you know there’s its it gets
\ninto a very confused set of <\/p>\n
183
\n00:11:36,608 –> 00:11:39,700
\nemotions and feelings.
\nThey be. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:11:39,900 –> 00:11:42,500
\nThey believe that the abuser
\nwill actually take their <\/p>\n
185
\n00:11:42,500 –> 00:11:45,000
\nchildren from them and if you’re
\na mother Children of the most <\/p>\n
186
\n00:11:45,000 –> 00:11:49,400
\nimportant thing in your life as
\na mother and the thought of <\/p>\n
187
\n00:11:49,400 –> 00:11:53,000
\nsomeone, especially an abuser,
\ntaking them from you, and <\/p>\n
188
\n00:11:53,000 –> 00:11:58,200
\nsubjecting them to his full
\ncontrol is unimaginable to a <\/p>\n
189
\n00:11:58,208 –> 00:12:02,300
\nwoman.
\nAnd so this restrains, her there<\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:02,300 –> 00:12:05,300
\nare religious reasons and think
\nof how this would play out in a <\/p>\n
191
\n00:12:05,308 –> 00:12:08,900
\ncollegial life in the truth.
\nIf we know that God said, he <\/p>\n
192
\n00:12:08,900 –> 00:12:12,900
\nhates divorce and if the only
\nway you can extricate yourself <\/p>\n
193
\n00:12:12,900 –> 00:12:18,200
\nfrom an abusive, Of condition is
\nto divorce them or two separate.<\/p>\n
194
\n00:12:18,400 –> 00:12:21,400
\nSometimes these things will
\nbother the religious side of <\/p>\n
195
\n00:12:21,400 –> 00:12:24,300
\nyour conscience.
\nBelieve in the abuser will <\/p>\n
196
\n00:12:24,300 –> 00:12:27,900
\nchange.
\nAs promised, but never kept in. <\/p>\n
197
\n00:12:27,900 –> 00:12:31,100
\nThis is a constant theme with
\npeople with men who are abusive,<\/p>\n
198
\n00:12:31,100 –> 00:12:33,400
\nthey promised change, they come
\nback to you with tears, they’re <\/p>\n
199
\n00:12:33,400 –> 00:12:35,600
\nsorry.
\nBut it happens over and over <\/p>\n
200
\n00:12:35,600 –> 00:12:36,700
\nagain.
\nHow many movies, how many <\/p>\n
201
\n00:12:36,700 –> 00:12:38,900
\nstories?
\nI mean, even magazine articles <\/p>\n
202
\n00:12:39,100 –> 00:12:43,500
\npoint this out, this is classic
\ntheir self playing. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:12:43,500 –> 00:12:47,500
\nAnd this is something that this
\nparticular sister had grown in <\/p>\n
204
\n00:12:47,600 –> 00:12:51,600
\nup in, in her family where it
\nover these three decades from <\/p>\n
205
\n00:12:51,600 –> 00:12:55,800
\nher early youth to the time.
\nThis was finally finally ended <\/p>\n
206
\n00:12:55,800 –> 00:13:00,400
\nfor her.
\nShe blamed herself because the <\/p>\n
207
\n00:13:00,400 –> 00:13:03,900
\nabuse involved, mental, and
\nemotional accusation. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:13:03,900 –> 00:13:06,900
\nThat was so pervasive in her
\nmind, it literally brain <\/p>\n
209
\n00:13:08,100 –> 00:13:12,900
\nbrainwashed, her into believing
\nthat she was the reason that he <\/p>\n
210
\n00:13:12,900 –> 00:13:16,500
\nhad to treat her that way.
\nSo, self-blame keeps women from <\/p>\n
211
\n00:13:16,500 –> 00:13:19,900
\nleaving, they have limited
\nFinancial options. <\/p>\n
212
\n00:13:19,900 –> 00:13:22,200
\nThis is certainly true.
\nIn the case, in our Ecclesia, <\/p>\n
213
\n00:13:22,900 –> 00:13:25,000
\nshe couldn’t really.
\nShe never really thought she <\/p>\n
214
\n00:13:25,000 –> 00:13:26,400
\ncould support herself.
\nShe’s make enough. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:13:26,700 –> 00:13:29,900
\nIn a month to pay the mortgage,
\nwhile he used that money for his<\/p>\n
216
\n00:13:29,900 –> 00:13:34,100
\nown escapades elsewhere,
\nbelieving that violence or <\/p>\n
217
\n00:13:34,100 –> 00:13:36,400
\nconflict is normal?
\nWhat happens in some of these <\/p>\n
218
\n00:13:36,400 –> 00:13:40,300
\nfamilies is the violence is, so,
\nconstant and pervasive in the <\/p>\n
219
\n00:13:40,300 –> 00:13:42,200
\nfamily that it becomes normal
\nfor them. <\/p>\n
220
\n00:13:44,200 –> 00:13:47,100
\nIt’s hard for us to imagine
\nthose of us who live in peaceful<\/p>\n
221
\n00:13:47,400 –> 00:13:51,500
\nlives, where the characters are
\ndriven by spiritual principles <\/p>\n
222
\n00:13:51,500 –> 00:13:54,500
\nto imagine something getting
\nthis bad inside a home, but you <\/p>\n
223
\n00:13:54,508 –> 00:14:00,800
\ncan imagine if it’s as pervasive
\nas As the statistics show, how <\/p>\n
224
\n00:14:01,000 –> 00:14:06,100
\nhow, what grief there is in
\nheaven, in the purview of all <\/p>\n
225
\n00:14:06,100 –> 00:14:08,500
\nhouseholds in America, say
\nnothing of the countries and <\/p>\n
226
\n00:14:08,500 –> 00:14:12,300
\nFacilities, where there’s abuse
\non a higher level where the god <\/p>\n
227
\n00:14:12,300 –> 00:14:15,200
\nof love watches.
\nThis miserable torture of <\/p>\n
228
\n00:14:15,200 –> 00:14:19,800
\nmerciless torture inside, homes
\nbelieving the sanctity of <\/p>\n
229
\n00:14:19,800 –> 00:14:23,100
\nmarriage and the family also is
\nanother reason why when it is <\/p>\n
230
\n00:14:23,108 –> 00:14:26,400
\nday they have limited or no
\nhousing options. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:14:26,600 –> 00:14:30,600
\nAnd and housing options that are
\nprovided by the city of a state.<\/p>\n
232
\n00:14:30,800 –> 00:14:35,700
\nDon’t seem to be adequate.
\nA lot of times they can, they <\/p>\n
233
\n00:14:35,700 –> 00:14:38,300
\ncan find other reasons to
\nexplain the abuse. <\/p>\n
234
\n00:14:38,300 –> 00:14:41,500
\nThey blame it on something else
\nor alcohol or finances. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:14:42,300 –> 00:14:43,700
\nThey have a very low
\nself-esteem. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:14:43,700 –> 00:14:46,700
\nThat’s usually the kind of woman
\nthat ends up in an abusive <\/p>\n
237
\n00:14:46,900 –> 00:14:51,400
\nsituation, the fear of the
\nunknown or change is enormous, <\/p>\n
238
\n00:14:51,400 –> 00:14:54,100
\nbecause changing all change
\ninvolved, lost someone once <\/p>\n
239
\n00:14:54,100 –> 00:14:58,600
\nsaid, so they can see them
\nlosing everything in their life,<\/p>\n
240
\n00:14:58,600 –> 00:15:01,400
\nin their, in their accumulated
\nsurroundings and the props of <\/p>\n
241
\n00:15:01,400 –> 00:15:03,700
\ntheir life and the little things
\nin there. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:15:04,000 –> 00:15:07,000
\nThat have that are
\nrepresentations of deeper <\/p>\n
243
\n00:15:07,000 –> 00:15:13,800
\nmeanings all that appears to be
\nlost in the change or a fear of <\/p>\n
244
\n00:15:13,800 –> 00:15:15,700
\nisolation.
\nThey don’t know what will happen<\/p>\n
245
\n00:15:15,900 –> 00:15:20,300
\nif they live in a strict
\nEcclesia and a divorce results <\/p>\n
246
\n00:15:20,300 –> 00:15:23,300
\nin some form of isolation.
\nThere’s that fear. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:15:24,000 –> 00:15:26,100
\nThere’s a fear of being
\nisolated, simply by the <\/p>\n
248
\n00:15:26,100 –> 00:15:28,900
\ncircumstance, embarrass me and
\nshames. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:15:28,900 –> 00:15:31,900
\nAnother reason, women don’t
\nleave, believing, no one can <\/p>\n
250
\n00:15:31,900 –> 00:15:33,700
\nhelp and this is a very deep
\nseated. <\/p>\n
251
\n00:15:33,800 –> 00:15:36,100
\nBelief because they’ve lived in
\nit for so long. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:15:36,100 –> 00:15:39,000
\nThere never has been any help,
\nthey become convinced that help <\/p>\n
253
\n00:15:39,000 –> 00:15:42,300
\nis not available.
\nThere are cultural beliefs, <\/p>\n
254
\n00:15:42,300 –> 00:15:44,800
\nthere’s denial and there’s
\npressure from friends and family<\/p>\n
255
\n00:15:44,800 –> 00:15:47,200
\nto stay.
\nThere’s economic dependence and <\/p>\n
256
\n00:15:47,200 –> 00:15:51,000
\nthere’s also this very strange
\nirony that. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:15:51,000 –> 00:15:54,800
\nShe she still loves him.
\nShe feels like she loves him <\/p>\n
258
\n00:15:54,800 –> 00:15:56,600
\neven though he treats her like
\nthis. <\/p>\n
259
\n00:15:57,100 –> 00:16:01,600
\nVery pervasive condition in the
\npity of these women’s lives. <\/p>\n
260
\n00:16:02,300 –> 00:16:05,500
\nSo in this particular sister’s
\ncase, the only way she could <\/p>\n
261
\n00:16:05,500 –> 00:16:09,400
\ncope is in the comfort that was
\nprovided to her from her faith. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:16:10,000 –> 00:16:13,000
\nAnd there are many different
\nways in which that Comfort came <\/p>\n
263
\n00:16:13,000 –> 00:16:15,000
\nto her.
\nShe would listen to tapes of <\/p>\n
264
\n00:16:15,000 –> 00:16:17,300
\nChrissa Delphine talk.
\nSo if you’re a speaker and you <\/p>\n
265
\n00:16:17,300 –> 00:16:19,900
\nspeak about these things and
\nthere’s a woman out there who’s <\/p>\n
266
\n00:16:19,900 –> 00:16:23,000
\nsuffering like this and she
\npicks up your talk that will <\/p>\n
267
\n00:16:23,000 –> 00:16:26,700
\ncome into her life as a comfort.
\nShe’s very close to her Bible <\/p>\n
268
\n00:16:26,700 –> 00:16:29,600
\nand did an amazing job of
\nraising her children in spite of<\/p>\n
269
\n00:16:29,600 –> 00:16:34,400
\nthe circumstances and stayed
\nvery Very close to the <\/p>\n
270
\n00:16:34,400 –> 00:16:38,400
\nscriptures and they came into
\nher mind and constructed, an <\/p>\n
271
\n00:16:38,400 –> 00:16:41,500
\nanchor of comfort.
\nThe Ecclesia was another form of<\/p>\n
272
\n00:16:41,500 –> 00:16:44,500
\ncomfort Chiefs.
\nShe came assiduously every <\/p>\n
273
\n00:16:44,500 –> 00:16:47,100
\nSunday, she came to, as many
\nclasses, she could get out to <\/p>\n
274
\n00:16:47,400 –> 00:16:52,000
\nnot too many in that case but
\nthe exhortations and the the <\/p>\n
275
\n00:16:52,000 –> 00:16:55,800
\nsympathies and the hugs and
\nkisses and the arms around her <\/p>\n
276
\n00:16:56,000 –> 00:16:59,800
\nall provided her, with some
\nmeasure of comfort that comes <\/p>\n
277
\n00:16:59,800 –> 00:17:01,600
\nfrom the hand of Christ as it
\ntreats. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:17:02,100 –> 00:17:05,900
\nThose whom he touches through
\nthe contact with brothers and <\/p>\n
279
\n00:17:05,900 –> 00:17:09,000
\nsisters.
\nThis is what she said. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:17:09,099 –> 00:17:13,400
\nIn all of that I’ve been in the
\ntruth since I was 15 years old, <\/p>\n
281
\n00:17:13,400 –> 00:17:17,800
\nbut I’ve never really seen and
\nfelt felt it until the worst <\/p>\n
282
\n00:17:17,800 –> 00:17:21,000
\nadversity in my life.
\nAnd this is that wonderful <\/p>\n
283
\n00:17:21,000 –> 00:17:25,700
\nParadox that were speaking about
\nin this whole series of comfort <\/p>\n
284
\n00:17:25,700 –> 00:17:30,100
\nbeing manifested in Affliction
\nas a result of an in contrast to<\/p>\n
285
\n00:17:30,400 –> 00:17:35,000
\naffliction.
\nSo she says, once I put complete<\/p>\n
286
\n00:17:35,000 –> 00:17:39,200
\ntrust in God, you know there was
\nno arm of Flesh, it failed or <\/p>\n
287
\n00:17:39,200 –> 00:17:43,200
\npressure and gave him the
\nsteering wheel of my life. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:17:43,200 –> 00:17:46,600
\nThen and only then could I have
\npeace within so how in this <\/p>\n
289
\n00:17:46,600 –> 00:17:49,000
\ncircumstance and she’s been
\ndesperate. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:17:49,000 –> 00:17:51,600
\nAlmost as long as we’ve known
\nher, how could she find peace <\/p>\n
291
\n00:17:51,600 –> 00:17:57,200
\nwithin unless you can actually
\nuse the knowledge of God instead<\/p>\n
292
\n00:17:57,200 –> 00:17:59,700
\nof the knowledge of Good and
\nEvil which was the prevalent <\/p>\n
293
\n00:17:59,700 –> 00:18:02,900
\nknowledge of Herbalife.
\nUse the knowledge of God to <\/p>\n
294
\n00:18:02,900 –> 00:18:06,100
\nbring that piece into your
\nthinking that then becomes the <\/p>\n
295
\n00:18:06,100 –> 00:18:10,300
\nsource of comfort and peace.
\nI know that God knows where we <\/p>\n
296
\n00:18:10,300 –> 00:18:13,800
\nwere going and how to get there.
\nThis adversity has been too hard<\/p>\n
297
\n00:18:13,800 –> 00:18:17,200
\nfor me to physically mentally
\nand spiritually, handle alone. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:18:17,200 –> 00:18:19,100
\nIn that is not an
\nunderstatement. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:18:19,100 –> 00:18:23,600
\nIn every aspect of what she’s
\ndescribing their physical mental<\/p>\n
300
\n00:18:24,100 –> 00:18:26,000
\nspiritual, she could have added
\nemotional. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:18:26,200 –> 00:18:29,200
\nIt’s been too difficult for her
\nto manage alone. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:18:29,800 –> 00:18:33,900
\nSo she but she wasn’t alone and
\nshe had she had a group of <\/p>\n
303
\n00:18:33,900 –> 00:18:37,200
\nbelievers who are around her
\ngradually becoming more and more<\/p>\n
304
\n00:18:37,200 –> 00:18:40,800
\naware of this and who were
\nsupplying, the kind of support <\/p>\n
305
\n00:18:40,800 –> 00:18:43,100
\nhe needed.
\nAnd friends, she had friends who<\/p>\n
306
\n00:18:43,100 –> 00:18:46,700
\nwere themselves wives of abusive
\nconditions in their marriage and<\/p>\n
307
\n00:18:46,700 –> 00:18:51,200
\nthey came to her rescue.
\nOnce I completely gave him that <\/p>\n
308
\n00:18:51,200 –> 00:18:54,700
\nhis God, the wheel then.
\nSo many blessings started to <\/p>\n
309
\n00:18:54,700 –> 00:18:58,500
\nhappen.
\nTwo years later when I updated <\/p>\n
310
\n00:18:58,500 –> 00:19:01,400
\nthis last fall.
\nShe said the storms are settling<\/p>\n
311
\n00:19:01,400 –> 00:19:03,200
\ndown.
\nNow this is because the scoffer <\/p>\n
312
\n00:19:03,200 –> 00:19:06,300
\nwas driven out of the Ecclesia.
\nThere’s a we’re going to see <\/p>\n
313
\n00:19:06,300 –> 00:19:11,500
\nthis later on in a verse drive,
\na scoffer out and abuse will <\/p>\n
314
\n00:19:11,500 –> 00:19:14,000
\ncease.
\nWe drove them out of the <\/p>\n
315
\n00:19:14,000 –> 00:19:17,800
\nEcclesia.
\nAnd by effect, she drove him out<\/p>\n
316
\n00:19:17,800 –> 00:19:22,300
\nof circumstances.
\nDrove him away from her, which <\/p>\n
317
\n00:19:22,300 –> 00:19:24,200
\ngave her a bit of a rescue the
\nstorm. <\/p>\n
318
\n00:19:24,200 –> 00:19:28,000
\nSo she says, the storms are
\nsettling now and in the most <\/p>\n
319
\n00:19:28,000 –> 00:19:31,500
\nwonderful way.
\nOnce she was a cleaning lady for<\/p>\n
320
\n00:19:31,500 –> 00:19:36,200
\nthese people and they had a
\nhouse available because the <\/p>\n
321
\n00:19:36,400 –> 00:19:40,000
\nwoman that was was getting old
\nand who she cared for in her <\/p>\n
322
\n00:19:40,000 –> 00:19:42,700
\ncleaning.
\nCould no longer sustain herself,<\/p>\n
323
\n00:19:42,700 –> 00:19:44,400
\nmanage her own life and her
\nhouse alone. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:19:44,400 –> 00:19:46,900
\nSo, this is the daughter and son
\nbrought her in. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:19:46,900 –> 00:19:50,400
\nThey happen to be very loving,
\nkind religious people and they <\/p>\n
326
\n00:19:50,400 –> 00:19:53,900
\nhad mercy on this woman gave her
\na place to live her and her <\/p>\n
327
\n00:19:53,900 –> 00:19:57,100
\ndaughter.
\nSo it was a Deliverance that was<\/p>\n
328
\n00:19:57,200 –> 00:20:00,400
\nsupplied.
\nWe saw this, it was Like by the <\/p>\n
329
\n00:20:00,400 –> 00:20:03,800
\nLord.
\nShould the spirit as it operated<\/p>\n
330
\n00:20:03,800 –> 00:20:08,300
\nin the minds of several people
\nwho weren’t even in the truth. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:20:08,700 –> 00:20:13,500
\nBut so penetrating was the
\nspirit of Christ in this world <\/p>\n
332
\n00:20:13,500 –> 00:20:17,200
\nthat he had enough of an effect
\non their hearts to provide a <\/p>\n
333
\n00:20:17,200 –> 00:20:20,300
\nplace for this woman to live and
\nit’s actually a bit nicer than <\/p>\n
334
\n00:20:20,300 –> 00:20:22,900
\nthe place.
\nShe was living in that she had <\/p>\n
335
\n00:20:22,900 –> 00:20:25,600
\nto leave.
\nSo she says the storms have been<\/p>\n
336
\n00:20:25,600 –> 00:20:29,200
\nextremely heavy but they’ve
\ntaught me and my family to truly<\/p>\n
337
\n00:20:29,200 –> 00:20:31,200
\nrely totally and completely on
\nGod. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:20:31,700 –> 00:20:34,500
\nThey taught us to be patient.
\nNo matter what they taught me to<\/p>\n
339
\n00:20:34,500 –> 00:20:36,400
\npray.
\nLike I’ve never prayed before <\/p>\n
340
\n00:20:36,700 –> 00:20:39,000
\ntruly am.
\nSo very blessed and thankful for<\/p>\n
341
\n00:20:39,000 –> 00:20:42,700
\nour God, that has never ever
\nleft my side through these heavy<\/p>\n
342
\n00:20:42,700 –> 00:20:45,300
\nstorms.
\nBut instead been with me with <\/p>\n
343
\n00:20:45,300 –> 00:20:49,100
\nhis arms around me and my family
\nthe entire time, how could a <\/p>\n
344
\n00:20:49,100 –> 00:20:52,800
\nwoman Conger, that kind of
\nthought, unless she understood <\/p>\n
345
\n00:20:52,800 –> 00:20:55,700
\nit to be true in her life.
\nAnd that is in every sigh that <\/p>\n
346
\n00:20:55,700 –> 00:20:58,400
\nGod gives us providentially.
\nAll the anchors of strength that<\/p>\n
347
\n00:20:58,400 –> 00:21:02,800
\nhe provides by his word.
\nDon’t ever give up, but keep <\/p>\n
348
\n00:21:02,800 –> 00:21:05,500
\ntrusting believing in pray
\nwithout ceasing. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:21:05,500 –> 00:21:09,000
\nGod loves us all so much and he
\nwill guide you through every <\/p>\n
350
\n00:21:09,000 –> 00:21:10,600
\nstorm.
\nYou are going through now. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:21:10,600 –> 00:21:15,300
\nAnd in the future, when I asked
\nher, what is the verse that <\/p>\n
352
\n00:21:15,300 –> 00:21:16,700
\nanchors?
\nYour hope? <\/p>\n
353
\n00:21:16,900 –> 00:21:20,400
\nShe said this and we know that
\nall things. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:21:20,800 –> 00:21:22,800
\nImagine it’s what are all things
\nin her life? <\/p>\n
355
\n00:21:24,200 –> 00:21:27,300
\nJack threatened with violence
\nbeing yelled at being denigrated<\/p>\n
356
\n00:21:27,300 –> 00:21:29,400
\nbeing belittled to the point
\nwhere you feel worthless, <\/p>\n
357
\n00:21:29,600 –> 00:21:31,800
\nscaring your children, to
\nbelieve that it’s normal for <\/p>\n
358
\n00:21:31,800 –> 00:21:34,300
\nthem to expect to be killed to
\nbe murdered. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:21:34,900 –> 00:21:37,200
\nThese are all the things that
\nshe said. <\/p>\n
360
\n00:21:37,200 –> 00:21:42,700
\nWork together for good.
\nFor good, what? <\/p>\n
361
\n00:21:42,700 –> 00:21:48,200
\nGood good in the form of the
\ndirect intimate, knowledge of <\/p>\n
362
\n00:21:48,200 –> 00:21:50,500
\nthe hope that God sets before
\nus? <\/p>\n
363
\n00:21:50,800 –> 00:21:53,800
\nThat’s the good.
\nIt’s in the strength to endure. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:21:54,700 –> 00:21:57,400
\nWe love God and those who are
\ncalled, according to his <\/p>\n
365
\n00:21:57,400 –> 00:22:01,900
\npurpose.
\nSo God’s response in a condition<\/p>\n
366
\n00:22:01,900 –> 00:22:04,300
\nlike this, in an abusive
\ncondition. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:22:04,300 –> 00:22:08,000
\nIs General sweeps, the entire
\nhuman race and all of its <\/p>\n
368
\n00:22:09,100 –> 00:22:13,100
\ndispensations as one whom his
\nmother comforts. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:22:14,900 –> 00:22:19,300
\nSo, I will comfort you.
\nAnd once again, what does God <\/p>\n
370
\n00:22:19,300 –> 00:22:21,500
\ndo?
\nHe ties it to the promise of <\/p>\n
371
\n00:22:21,500 –> 00:22:26,000
\nAbraham, the promise of language
\nPromised Land Throne of Christ, <\/p>\n
372
\n00:22:26,000 –> 00:22:29,600
\nand to that area of land, which
\nwill be the capital of This <\/p>\n
373
\n00:22:29,600 –> 00:22:32,300
\nWorld In His Kingdom.
\nSo I will comfort. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:22:32,300 –> 00:22:35,100
\nYou you shall be comforted in
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:22:35,700 –> 00:22:38,100
\nIt’s got a very clear about the
\nComfort. <\/p>\n
376
\n00:22:38,100 –> 00:22:41,900
\nHe offers, it’s a comfort that
\nhe will provide when he redeems <\/p>\n
377
\n00:22:41,900 –> 00:22:44,700
\nJerusalem and when Jerusalem is
\nredeemed, the world will be <\/p>\n
378
\n00:22:44,700 –> 00:22:48,700
\nredeemed.
\nSo in all this experience, the <\/p>\n
379
\n00:22:48,700 –> 00:22:51,200
\nNorfolk Rafflesia came up with a
\npolicy. <\/p>\n
380
\n00:22:51,200 –> 00:22:54,200
\nThe reason we came up with the
\npolicy is what I mentioned <\/p>\n
381
\n00:22:54,200 –> 00:22:56,600
\nearlier.
\nReporting is part of the problem<\/p>\n
382
\n00:22:56,800 –> 00:22:58,800
\nand to Serious part of the
\nproblem not recording. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:22:58,800 –> 00:23:01,400
\nThat’s why people are arrested
\nand they go to jail for not <\/p>\n
384
\n00:23:01,400 –> 00:23:02,900
\nreporting.
\nThat’s the issue. <\/p>\n
385
\n00:23:02,900 –> 00:23:05,600
\nThey have the Catholic church
\nright now that they don’t think <\/p>\n
386
\n00:23:05,600 –> 00:23:07,200
\nthere’s been enough reporting
\ngoing on. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:23:07,200 –> 00:23:12,700
\nAnd so the abuse gets to convey
\ngets continued in Virginia. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:23:12,700 –> 00:23:14,700
\nThere’s only three states left
\nat the time. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:23:14,700 –> 00:23:17,200
\nWe looked into this, I think
\nFour states. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:23:17,300 –> 00:23:20,900
\nAnd I’ve recently been told that
\nthere are three states left now <\/p>\n
391
\n00:23:20,900 –> 00:23:26,100
\nthat do not have a law, that
\nmandates church leaders and <\/p>\n
392
\n00:23:26,100 –> 00:23:30,300
\nElders to report when they have
\nReasonable Suspicion of abuse, <\/p>\n
393
\n00:23:30,500 –> 00:23:33,200
\nthat’s a very serious problem.
\nYou can know why it’s a law in <\/p>\n
394
\n00:23:33,200 –> 00:23:37,200
\nso many states, Virginia, the
\nstate that we live in does not <\/p>\n
395
\n00:23:37,200 –> 00:23:39,200
\nhave a law that mandates church
\nleaders. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:23:39,200 –> 00:23:42,500
\nSo we spoke to a lot of people
\nabout this, in the course, of <\/p>\n
397
\n00:23:42,500 –> 00:23:45,600
\nour involvement with it, and we
\nwere told it would be a good <\/p>\n
398
\n00:23:45,600 –> 00:23:48,800
\nidea for You to develop a policy
\nsince you live in a state where <\/p>\n
399
\n00:23:48,800 –> 00:23:52,000
\nit’s not mandated by law,
\ndevelop a policy, where the <\/p>\n
400
\n00:23:52,000 –> 00:23:55,900
\nchurch mandates itself, its own
\nleaders to report when there is <\/p>\n
401
\n00:23:55,900 –> 00:23:58,200
\nreasonable, Reasonable Suspicion
\nof abuse. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:24:00,900 –> 00:24:03,500
\nIt’s this serious.
\nIn God’s eyes, whoever causes <\/p>\n
403
\n00:24:03,500 –> 00:24:07,200
\none of these little ones to who
\nbelieve in me to stumble, it <\/p>\n
404
\n00:24:07,200 –> 00:24:09,600
\nwould be better for him if a
\nmillstone were hung around his <\/p>\n
405
\n00:24:09,600 –> 00:24:14,600
\nneck and he were thrown into the
\nsea, this is the kind of offense<\/p>\n
406
\n00:24:14,600 –> 00:24:18,800
\nthat abuse is when there’s a
\nselfish father and a Donna <\/p>\n
407
\n00:24:18,800 –> 00:24:24,000
\nnarcissistic man in the family.
\nIt’s a millstone level offense. <\/p>\n
408
\n00:24:24,000 –> 00:24:27,600
\nWhat he does to the children.
\nThat man is a brother and he’s <\/p>\n
409
\n00:24:27,600 –> 00:24:31,500
\nnot being reported.
\nThis needs to be uncovered and <\/p>\n
410
\n00:24:31,500 –> 00:24:33,600
\ndealt with, and the Ecclesia is
\nnot. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:24:33,600 –> 00:24:36,400
\nThe equation has rolled do it,
\nbut it is the equations role to <\/p>\n
412
\n00:24:36,400 –> 00:24:38,300
\nreport it.
\nIf you can do something about it<\/p>\n
413
\n00:24:38,300 –> 00:24:43,000
\nwithin without going to the
\njudges of the world, then Paul’s<\/p>\n
414
\n00:24:43,000 –> 00:24:46,100
\nadvice is to do that because he
\nsays to the Corinthian Ecclesia,<\/p>\n
415
\n00:24:46,100 –> 00:24:48,700
\nyou need to judge these things
\ninternally but where you can’t <\/p>\n
416
\n00:24:48,700 –> 00:24:51,400
\ndo that.
\nIt’s necessary to report. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:24:51,400 –> 00:24:54,600
\nSo we The policy and I’m going
\nto introduce some aspects of the<\/p>\n
418
\n00:24:54,600 –> 00:24:56,000
\npolicy.
\nIt’s a little big. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:24:56,000 –> 00:24:59,000
\nSo we don’t have time to do it
\nin the confines of this part. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:24:59,800 –> 00:25:02,400
\nBut this is a is was entitled in
\nNorfolk. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:25:02,400 –> 00:25:05,500
\nCollegiate policy was passed in
\na special meeting on Family <\/p>\n
422
\n00:25:05,500 –> 00:25:08,900
\nServices pertaining to abuse and
\nexploitation, which is read the <\/p>\n
423
\n00:25:08,900 –> 00:25:11,400
\nfirst paragraph of it.
\nSo you get an idea of what this <\/p>\n
424
\n00:25:11,400 –> 00:25:13,900
\npolicy does.
\nJust going to say upfront, this <\/p>\n
425
\n00:25:13,900 –> 00:25:18,100
\npolicy is available on the
\ninternet for you to copy and <\/p>\n
426
\n00:25:18,100 –> 00:25:20,100
\ndownload in your Collegiate.
\nIf you feel like you’d like to <\/p>\n
427
\n00:25:20,100 –> 00:25:23,000
\ntake the step if you if you have
\ndealt with this in the past and <\/p>\n
428
\n00:25:23,000 –> 00:25:25,600
\nthough you may deal with in the
\nfuture you can download this and<\/p>\n
429
\n00:25:25,600 –> 00:25:29,300
\nuse this as a template for
\nwhatever policy you want to <\/p>\n
430
\n00:25:29,300 –> 00:25:32,500
\nwrite and we did it deliberately
\nwith that in mind not only just <\/p>\n
431
\n00:25:32,500 –> 00:25:36,400
\nfor the benefit of our Affairs
\nin the Ecclesia. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:25:37,300 –> 00:25:40,400
\nWhy the occlusion needs a policy
\non this subject? <\/p>\n
433
\n00:25:41,400 –> 00:25:43,900
\nThe creation of this policy
\nstems from how our having <\/p>\n
434
\n00:25:43,900 –> 00:25:46,400
\nofficially opened the counseling
\nservices for the Norfolk <\/p>\n
435
\n00:25:46,400 –> 00:25:49,500
\nEcclesia, in which, our members
\nare financially supported to <\/p>\n
436
\n00:25:49,500 –> 00:25:52,800
\nreceive qualified counseling for
\na specific. a period of time <\/p>\n
437
\n00:25:52,800 –> 00:25:55,400
\nwhere their trials are beyond
\nthe scope and ability of our own<\/p>\n
438
\n00:25:55,400 –> 00:25:59,500
\nmembers to provide sufficient
\nresources, for help, In other, <\/p>\n
439
\n00:25:59,500 –> 00:26:03,200
\nin any other case, we’ve got all
\nthe resources that we have in a <\/p>\n
440
\n00:26:03,200 –> 00:26:06,600
\ncollegial life that we have as
\nindividuals in the particulars <\/p>\n
441
\n00:26:06,600 –> 00:26:10,600
\nin that Ecclesia.
\nBut there’s a limit this is when<\/p>\n
442
\n00:26:10,600 –> 00:26:15,200
\nthat limit is exceeded, we
\nacknowledge that brothers and <\/p>\n
443
\n00:26:15,200 –> 00:26:17,800
\nsisters are subject to the same
\nproclivity to send is All <\/p>\n
444
\n00:26:17,800 –> 00:26:19,800
\nMankind.
\nAnd provision should be made to <\/p>\n
445
\n00:26:19,800 –> 00:26:22,500
\nAid victims of abuse and
\nexploitation, recognizing that <\/p>\n
446
\n00:26:22,500 –> 00:26:27,000
\nthis abuse could come from
\noutside or, from within the <\/p>\n
447
\n00:26:27,000 –> 00:26:29,800
\nbody.
\nAnd I don’t need to go far past <\/p>\n
448
\n00:26:29,800 –> 00:26:33,200
\nthat point to remind you that we
\nknow of cases, where this is in <\/p>\n
449
\n00:26:33,200 –> 00:26:36,500
\nthe body.
\nThis is an overview and I was <\/p>\n
450
\n00:26:36,500 –> 00:26:39,400
\ngoing to bolt these off, it has
\nan introduction, it defines <\/p>\n
451
\n00:26:39,400 –> 00:26:42,100
\nabuse.
\nObviously it has gives a list of<\/p>\n
452
\n00:26:42,100 –> 00:26:44,200
\nrelevant.
\nScriptures it Goes with the <\/p>\n
453
\n00:26:44,200 –> 00:26:48,000
\nstate’s laws are including signs
\nof recording, and I’m going to <\/p>\n
454
\n00:26:48,000 –> 00:26:50,100
\nadd right here.
\nAll this is meant to have a <\/p>\n
455
\n00:26:50,108 –> 00:26:53,600
\npractical basis of dealing with
\nthis, when it is otherwise. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:26:53,600 –> 00:26:59,400
\nSo, so sort of unreachable,
\nespecially in protecting of the <\/p>\n
457
\n00:26:59,400 –> 00:27:01,600
\nsanctity of a family and a
\nfamily organization. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:27:02,400 –> 00:27:04,700
\nWe have a victim, first
\npriority, I would love to talk <\/p>\n
459
\n00:27:04,700 –> 00:27:06,300
\nto you about that.
\nAnd if you want to know what <\/p>\n
460
\n00:27:06,300 –> 00:27:10,500
\nthat means, we can take that up
\nin a later conversation. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:27:11,700 –> 00:27:14,800
\nReasonable Suspicion is as
\nOpposed to proof. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:27:14,800 –> 00:27:17,700
\nWe need to explain what that is
\nbecause a lot of people think <\/p>\n
463
\n00:27:17,700 –> 00:27:20,600
\nthat if you have a suspicion you
\ncan’t use it because we’re not <\/p>\n
464
\n00:27:20,600 –> 00:27:22,600
\nsupposed to be supposed
\nscripturally. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:27:22,600 –> 00:27:25,500
\nSpeaking we’re not supposed to
\nbe suspicious of one another but<\/p>\n
466
\n00:27:25,700 –> 00:27:28,400
\nreasonable suspicious is a
\ndifferent suspicion is a <\/p>\n
467
\n00:27:28,400 –> 00:27:31,100
\ndifferent thing.
\nIt’s when they’re all kinds of <\/p>\n
468
\n00:27:31,100 –> 00:27:32,800
\nthings that are wrong, you know,
\nsomething’s wrong. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:27:32,800 –> 00:27:34,600
\nThese are the signs that
\nsomething’s wrong but you have <\/p>\n
470
\n00:27:34,600 –> 00:27:36,800
\nno proof.
\nWhat’s required in the state <\/p>\n
471
\n00:27:36,800 –> 00:27:40,100
\nreporting is not proof.
\nThe state then looks for the <\/p>\n
472
\n00:27:40,100 –> 00:27:42,600
\nevidence and seeks the proof.
\nWhile they go. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:27:42,600 –> 00:27:45,300
\nWhat they go by.
\nNipple suspicion and nobody is <\/p>\n
474
\n00:27:45,300 –> 00:27:47,200
\nindicted on the basis of
\nSuspicion. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:27:47,600 –> 00:27:50,600
\nSo all this does is set up a
\ncondition in which people who <\/p>\n
476
\n00:27:50,600 –> 00:27:53,300
\nhave the authority to do.
\nSo can probe deeply into a <\/p>\n
477
\n00:27:53,308 –> 00:27:58,100
\nfamily’s life and discover if
\nthere is in fact abuse, there’s <\/p>\n
478
\n00:27:58,100 –> 00:28:00,100
\na consequence to Fellowship
\nobviously. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:28:00,100 –> 00:28:04,600
\nSo we put that in there.
\nThere’s a need to protect people<\/p>\n
480
\n00:28:04,600 –> 00:28:07,900
\nwith whatever conscientious
\nconfidentiality may be involved.<\/p>\n
481
\n00:28:08,900 –> 00:28:12,500
\nAnd that’s on the principal in
\nthe Bible of covering and on one<\/p>\n
482
\n00:28:12,500 –> 00:28:15,000
\nhand, covering sent on the other
\nhand, exposing sin. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:28:15,000 –> 00:28:17,100
\nSo we do both in a collegial
\nlife. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:28:17,400 –> 00:28:19,800
\nIf your have been on the
\narranging board, you know, the <\/p>\n
485
\n00:28:19,800 –> 00:28:23,500
\nneed to cover sins when they
\nwhen you become aware of them. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:28:23,800 –> 00:28:26,200
\nAnd, you know, the need
\nsometimes to bring those sins <\/p>\n
487
\n00:28:26,200 –> 00:28:28,100
\ninto some kind of public
\nawareness. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:28:28,400 –> 00:28:30,600
\nAlthough we don’t like to be
\njudges and we don’t want to be <\/p>\n
489
\n00:28:30,600 –> 00:28:33,500
\ninvolved in that.
\nWe all recognize that we are in <\/p>\n
490
\n00:28:33,500 –> 00:28:37,300
\ntraining in a collegial life for
\na time when we, we judges <\/p>\n
491
\n00:28:37,300 –> 00:28:40,400
\nworldwide helping create It’s
\nrule from his throne but being <\/p>\n
492
\n00:28:40,400 –> 00:28:44,100
\nin all parts of the world in
\nsituations where the experience.<\/p>\n
493
\n00:28:44,100 –> 00:28:47,400
\nI think we had in principles of
\njudgment will be applied in that<\/p>\n
494
\n00:28:47,400 –> 00:28:52,300
\nday, but perfectly applied by
\nthose of us who are brought into<\/p>\n
495
\n00:28:52,300 –> 00:28:55,200
\nthe Royal administration of
\nChrist’s throne. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:28:56,900 –> 00:29:00,200
\nPractical restoration and
\nevidence of change are two <\/p>\n
497
\n00:29:00,200 –> 00:29:03,900
\nthings that become very involved
\nin this. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:29:04,100 –> 00:29:07,000
\nIf there’s repentance gets
\ninvolved, and fellowship is a <\/p>\n
499
\n00:29:07,008 –> 00:29:11,000
\nquestion.
\nI went to, there are five steps <\/p>\n
500
\n00:29:11,000 –> 00:29:14,900
\nthat we developed in this that
\nshow repentance that become <\/p>\n
501
\n00:29:14,900 –> 00:29:18,000
\nevidence of real repentance.
\nInstead of just having somebody <\/p>\n
502
\n00:29:18,000 –> 00:29:22,700
\nwith loud crying and Tears.
\nLike Esau make a repentance that<\/p>\n
503
\n00:29:22,700 –> 00:29:25,100
\nleads to death instead of one
\nthat leads to life because they <\/p>\n
504
\n00:29:25,100 –> 00:29:28,200
\ndon’t mean it.
\nThe repentance of Esau and the <\/p>\n
505
\n00:29:28,200 –> 00:29:31,200
\ntears of Esau, and you’ll see
\nlots of Tears with these sorts <\/p>\n
506
\n00:29:31,200 –> 00:29:35,500
\nof perpetrators, but we had to
\ndo is figure out how we can <\/p>\n
507
\n00:29:35,500 –> 00:29:37,700
\nidentify what real repentance is
\nin. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:29:37,700 –> 00:29:41,500
\nThis doesn’t only involve abuse
\nand involves everything, where a<\/p>\n
509
\n00:29:41,500 –> 00:29:47,700
\nquestion of repentance needs to
\nbe determined answered and I’m <\/p>\n
510
\n00:29:47,700 –> 00:29:49,300
\ngoing to.
\nSo I’m going to take some just a<\/p>\n
511
\n00:29:49,308 –> 00:29:50,900
\nfew minutes and go over that
\nwith you. <\/p>\n
512
\n00:29:50,900 –> 00:29:54,000
\nSo these are the two things that
\nwe’re going to look at directly <\/p>\n
513
\n00:29:54,500 –> 00:30:00,500
\nrelevant scriptures.
\nRelating to abuse and Reporting <\/p>\n
514
\n00:30:00,500 –> 00:30:05,900
\nabuse and the exposure of it and
\nfive steps that identify real <\/p>\n
515
\n00:30:05,900 –> 00:30:09,500
\nrepentance.
\nThis is a very useful tool for <\/p>\n
516
\n00:30:09,500 –> 00:30:14,100
\narranging boards and for anyone
\nwomen who are older, women who <\/p>\n
517
\n00:30:14,100 –> 00:30:17,900
\nare canceling, younger people
\nparents, who are counseling <\/p>\n
518
\n00:30:17,900 –> 00:30:20,200
\nchildren.
\nYou want to really identify a <\/p>\n
519
\n00:30:20,200 –> 00:30:22,700
\nreal repentance.
\nThis is how you do it. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:30:22,900 –> 00:30:25,400
\nSo we’ll take a look at that
\nclosely, firstly, the relevant <\/p>\n
521
\n00:30:25,400 –> 00:30:29,200
\nscriptures.
\nIt’s interesting to note that <\/p>\n
522
\n00:30:29,200 –> 00:30:34,000
\nwhen Paul lists in Galatians 5,
\nThe Works of the flesh. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:30:37,100 –> 00:30:40,000
\nMany of them, if not half of
\nthem, relate to abuse. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:30:41,100 –> 00:30:45,100
\nWhen you think about adultery.
\nSo there can be unfaithfulness <\/p>\n
525
\n00:30:45,100 –> 00:30:48,400
\nthat results in abuse or they
\ncould be rampant, repeat <\/p>\n
526
\n00:30:48,400 –> 00:30:51,700
\nadultery, because that is
\nconcomitant with abused. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:30:52,700 –> 00:30:58,700
\nuncleanness and all forms part
\nof a selfish man lascivious – <\/p>\n
528
\n00:30:58,700 –> 00:31:02,900
\nwhich is, of course, what
\nhappens when a man begins to be <\/p>\n
529
\n00:31:02,900 –> 00:31:07,600
\nhostile to the object of his
\naffections that wife that he <\/p>\n
530
\n00:31:07,600 –> 00:31:10,500
\npromise to love and honor and
\ncherish all the days of their <\/p>\n
531
\n00:31:10,500 –> 00:31:16,000
\nlife, lasciviousness turns that
\nlove into hatred and he can be <\/p>\n
532
\n00:31:16,000 –> 00:31:20,200
\nvery cruel to the one he
\npromised to love variance, which<\/p>\n
533
\n00:31:20,200 –> 00:31:23,500
\nis constant disagreement in
\ncontention, You know, that the <\/p>\n
534
\n00:31:23,500 –> 00:31:25,800
\nBible says women can be
\ncontentious, so men can be <\/p>\n
535
\n00:31:25,800 –> 00:31:29,000
\nabused by women and families
\nwere contention is the problem <\/p>\n
536
\n00:31:29,100 –> 00:31:33,200
\nand contention is a form of
\nabuse, the Bible word for that. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:31:33,200 –> 00:31:36,000
\nIn some cases, in the New
\nTestament, is the old with older<\/p>\n
538
\n00:31:36,000 –> 00:31:40,500
\nword is variance and variance.
\nJust means a variance of view <\/p>\n
539
\n00:31:40,700 –> 00:31:43,800
\nthat turns into an argument
\nvariants and emulation go <\/p>\n
540
\n00:31:43,800 –> 00:31:47,100
\nhand-in-hand, and I getting that
\nright now, that’s the next turn,<\/p>\n
541
\n00:31:47,100 –> 00:31:50,900
\nbut wrath and strife.
\nThe Strife is basically an <\/p>\n
542
\n00:31:50,900 –> 00:31:56,000
\neffect of the Wrath And then
\nmurders and drunkenness and <\/p>\n
543
\n00:31:56,000 –> 00:32:01,100
\nrevellings are also all apart of
\nglobal condition of abuse in a <\/p>\n
544
\n00:32:01,100 –> 00:32:03,500
\nfamily.
\nAnd such like, of which, I tell,<\/p>\n
545
\n00:32:04,000 –> 00:32:07,600
\nwhich I tell you before, as I
\nhave told you in time past that <\/p>\n
546
\n00:32:07,600 –> 00:32:11,500
\nthey, which do such things shall
\nnot inherit the kingdom of God. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:32:12,600 –> 00:32:18,000
\nSo the goal, if an abuser in an
\nEcclesia is discovered is to <\/p>\n
548
\n00:32:18,000 –> 00:32:20,400
\nbring him to a state of
\nrestoration. <\/p>\n
549
\n00:32:20,400 –> 00:32:24,000
\nThis is in the context of
\nrestoring somebody who was given<\/p>\n
550
\n00:32:24,000 –> 00:32:27,900
\nover to fleshly impulses, and
\nsometimes abusers can be <\/p>\n
551
\n00:32:27,900 –> 00:32:30,200
\nrestored.
\nSo, the goal is that, but if <\/p>\n
552
\n00:32:30,200 –> 00:32:33,300
\nthey can’t, you have to drive an
\nabuser from you because it’s <\/p>\n
553
\n00:32:33,300 –> 00:32:35,500
\nonly then that the abuse will
\ncease. <\/p>\n
554
\n00:32:36,300 –> 00:32:40,300
\nAnd we all know this subtle
\ndelicate distinction in judgment<\/p>\n
555
\n00:32:40,300 –> 00:32:43,500
\nthat that we labor.
\nSo, Hard to get, right? <\/p>\n
556
\n00:32:43,500 –> 00:32:45,100
\nAnd the demands of
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:32:45,100 –> 00:32:48,000
\nWhen we feel so unrighteousness
\nin the context of those, the <\/p>\n
558
\n00:32:48,200 –> 00:32:52,900
\nunrighteous in the context of
\nthose demands, It goes on to say<\/p>\n
559
\n00:32:53,500 –> 00:32:57,900
\nthat the fruit of the spirit and
\nthis is where you find out what <\/p>\n
560
\n00:32:58,200 –> 00:33:01,300
\ncompletely dispels, the pasta
\nthe potential for abuse and a <\/p>\n
561
\n00:33:01,300 –> 00:33:04,200
\nfamily.
\nYou marry a woman, she should be<\/p>\n
562
\n00:33:04,200 –> 00:33:08,600
\na sacred thing to you.
\nYou’ve received the approval of <\/p>\n
563
\n00:33:08,600 –> 00:33:12,200
\nthe Lord for taking you in her
\ninto your care. <\/p>\n
564
\n00:33:12,600 –> 00:33:16,400
\nYou promise to love and honor
\nand cherish her all the days of <\/p>\n
565
\n00:33:16,400 –> 00:33:19,500
\nher life.
\nAnd then you should as her <\/p>\n
566
\n00:33:19,500 –> 00:33:24,100
\nspiritual head, bring into your
\nrelationship with her and into <\/p>\n
567
\n00:33:24,100 –> 00:33:28,100
\nthe family.
\nYou should bring love and joy. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:33:29,200 –> 00:33:32,800
\nAnd peace.
\nYou should be a person who has <\/p>\n
569
\n00:33:32,800 –> 00:33:35,700
\nhis hand on the thermostat that
\ncontrols the temperature in the <\/p>\n
570
\n00:33:35,700 –> 00:33:37,900
\nroom.
\nWhen it’s too hot, you cool? <\/p>\n
571
\n00:33:37,900 –> 00:33:41,200
\nAnd it wants to cool.
\nYou warm it up and IT Supplies. <\/p>\n
572
\n00:33:41,200 –> 00:33:43,100
\nThe piece that makes everybody
\nin the family. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:33:43,100 –> 00:33:46,600
\nFeel secure, instead of scared
\nto death, that something bad is <\/p>\n
574
\n00:33:46,600 –> 00:33:50,200
\ngoing to happen soon.
\nAnd long suffering, which means <\/p>\n
575
\n00:33:50,200 –> 00:33:52,700
\nthere’s a lot of patients
\ninvolved in gentleness. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:33:52,700 –> 00:33:56,200
\nWhich means not being heavy
\nhanded and harsh with people not<\/p>\n
577
\n00:33:56,200 –> 00:34:00,900
\nspeaking harshly to children and
\nnot The one you love with hard <\/p>\n
578
\n00:34:00,900 –> 00:34:07,700
\nwords and hurtful terms
\ngentleness is all pervasive in <\/p>\n
579
\n00:34:07,700 –> 00:34:11,699
\ndisposition and tone and speech
\nand all of us need to learn how <\/p>\n
580
\n00:34:11,699 –> 00:34:14,500
\nto do this, because it doesn’t
\ncome naturally to us. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:34:14,500 –> 00:34:17,600
\nWe get baptized, we don’t
\nautomatically become gentle. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:34:18,000 –> 00:34:21,400
\nMen are not gentle just because
\nthey turn boys into adults. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:34:22,199 –> 00:34:25,100
\nWe have to learn how to be
\ngentle because otherwise we have<\/p>\n
584
\n00:34:25,100 –> 00:34:29,000
\na lot of force in our character
\nand we apply that Force to A <\/p>\n
585
\n00:34:29,007 –> 00:34:31,900
\nwoman.
\nIt can be overexerted, just like<\/p>\n
586
\n00:34:31,900 –> 00:34:33,900
\nthat.
\nAnd so gentleness is the thing <\/p>\n
587
\n00:34:33,900 –> 00:34:37,600
\nwhich we learn, that offsets all
\nthat, and goodness there should <\/p>\n
588
\n00:34:37,600 –> 00:34:39,800
\nbe goodness in the home.
\nThe father should bring goodness<\/p>\n
589
\n00:34:39,800 –> 00:34:43,900
\nto his wife and to his children
\nand faith and meekness and <\/p>\n
590
\n00:34:43,900 –> 00:34:45,600
\nTemperance.
\nHe should be able to admit when <\/p>\n
591
\n00:34:45,600 –> 00:34:47,600
\nhe’s wrong and not insisted.
\nHe’s always right? <\/p>\n
592
\n00:34:47,600 –> 00:34:51,100
\nAnd not, not act, like he,
\nthere’s never anything wrong <\/p>\n
593
\n00:34:51,100 –> 00:34:53,199
\nwith thinking or always be right
\nin his own eyes. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:34:53,199 –> 00:34:56,100
\nAll these things are fleshly
\nimpulses that destroy marriages <\/p>\n
595
\n00:34:56,100 –> 00:35:01,900
\nthat that all the components of
\nUse so Brothers, I know you <\/p>\n
596
\n00:35:01,900 –> 00:35:05,400
\nagree with all this and I know
\nyou would like to practice it. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:35:05,400 –> 00:35:08,800
\nAnd I know many of you probably
\ndo in some measure, but the <\/p>\n
598
\n00:35:08,800 –> 00:35:13,900
\nexhortation is always there for
\nall of us to temper the flesh to<\/p>\n
599
\n00:35:13,900 –> 00:35:19,500
\nput the reins on our cells and
\nand treat the beauty of the love<\/p>\n
600
\n00:35:19,500 –> 00:35:23,300
\nthat are wife offers us in the
\nself-sacrifice that she brings <\/p>\n
601
\n00:35:23,300 –> 00:35:27,300
\ninto the marriage treat that
\nwith the utmost of care. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:35:27,500 –> 00:35:31,100
\nIt’s sacred God gave it to you
\nas a gift because he knew it <\/p>\n
603
\n00:35:31,100 –> 00:35:33,600
\nwasn’t good for you to be alone.
\nTreat her. <\/p>\n
604
\n00:35:33,600 –> 00:35:35,400
\nLike you really mean these
\nthings. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:35:36,000 –> 00:35:38,700
\nAnd if you need to get better at
\nit, than do everything in your <\/p>\n
606
\n00:35:38,700 –> 00:35:40,300
\npower, to make yourself better
\nat it. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:35:40,300 –> 00:35:43,600
\nAnd if that doesn’t work
\napologize, at least but don’t <\/p>\n
608
\n00:35:43,600 –> 00:35:46,200
\nmake apology.
\nThe thing that the pattern rules<\/p>\n
609
\n00:35:46,200 –> 00:35:49,000
\nthe day.
\nChange is the thing that needs <\/p>\n
610
\n00:35:49,000 –> 00:35:52,600
\nto be made.
\nIn this context, he says against<\/p>\n
611
\n00:35:52,600 –> 00:35:56,700
\nsuch, there is no law.
\nThese are the components of a <\/p>\n
612
\n00:35:56,700 –> 00:36:01,700
\nhappy family that is Abuse.
\nThe fruit of the spirit. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:36:01,700 –> 00:36:06,500
\nIt obviates abuse.
\nThat’s the first scripture. <\/p>\n
614
\n00:36:06,500 –> 00:36:10,100
\nAnother scripture is auxiliary
\ncouncil is actually scripturally<\/p>\n
615
\n00:36:10,100 –> 00:36:13,600
\nJustified as christadelphians.
\nWe have no confidence in the <\/p>\n
616
\n00:36:13,600 –> 00:36:16,700
\nwisdom of this world, but there
\nare certain areas where this <\/p>\n
617
\n00:36:16,700 –> 00:36:21,400
\nworld applies its wisdom to
\nthings that we kind of also <\/p>\n
618
\n00:36:21,400 –> 00:36:25,300
\ncan’t control.
\nSo, in Proverbs 11:14, he says, <\/p>\n
619
\n00:36:25,300 –> 00:36:29,000
\nwhere no counsel is the people
\nfall, but in the multitude, You <\/p>\n
620
\n00:36:29,000 –> 00:36:32,500
\nhave counselors their safety and
\nmaybe a multitude of counselors <\/p>\n
621
\n00:36:32,500 –> 00:36:35,200
\nin your equation.
\nThere may be multiple Council <\/p>\n
622
\n00:36:35,200 –> 00:36:38,100
\ncounselors in a Consortium of
\nthe cliches in your region. <\/p>\n
623
\n00:36:38,400 –> 00:36:41,400
\nAnd you may not have enough
\nCouncil among Brothers to solve,<\/p>\n
624
\n00:36:41,400 –> 00:36:44,000
\nthe problem at hand.
\nSo you have to find a counselor <\/p>\n
625
\n00:36:44,000 –> 00:36:49,500
\nwho does have enough experience
\nand who will not go against what<\/p>\n
626
\n00:36:49,500 –> 00:36:52,000
\nyou believes.
\nThere’s a big conversation up <\/p>\n
627
\n00:36:52,000 –> 00:36:54,100
\nfront that says, this is what we
\nbelieve, we don’t want any <\/p>\n
628
\n00:36:54,100 –> 00:36:57,300
\nCouncil to counteract this, we
\nwon’t don’t want the wrong, kind<\/p>\n
629
\n00:36:57,300 –> 00:36:58,800
\nof advice, and you have to be
\nspecific. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:36:59,400 –> 00:37:01,500
\nWith the counselor when he
\nagrees and he says, well we <\/p>\n
631
\n00:37:01,500 –> 00:37:03,600
\nwould never do, this will
\nsupport what you believe? <\/p>\n
632
\n00:37:04,200 –> 00:37:06,500
\nThen you have a cancer, you can
\nwork with especially if he sees <\/p>\n
633
\n00:37:06,500 –> 00:37:08,000
\ninto the understands the
\nproblem. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:37:08,400 –> 00:37:11,100
\nSo that’s auxiliary Council on
\nthe basis of that principle. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:37:11,500 –> 00:37:14,900
\nAnd then there’s another verse
\nthat that kind of says that <\/p>\n
636
\n00:37:14,900 –> 00:37:18,900
\nexposure would be uses is
\nJustified, its in Ephesians 5, <\/p>\n
637
\n00:37:19,400 –> 00:37:21,500
\ntry to learn what is pleasing to
\nthe world. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:37:21,700 –> 00:37:25,000
\nTake no part in the unfruitful
\nworks of darkness but instead <\/p>\n
639
\n00:37:25,000 –> 00:37:32,200
\nexpose them I’ve seen a case or
\na brother They took part in the <\/p>\n
640
\n00:37:32,200 –> 00:37:37,800
\nunfruitful works of darkness by
\nsupporting and defending the <\/p>\n
641
\n00:37:37,800 –> 00:37:41,400
\nabusive brother and he thought
\nhe was the Christ Image in this,<\/p>\n
642
\n00:37:41,500 –> 00:37:45,800
\nbut instead, he was, he was
\nactually taking part in his <\/p>\n
643
\n00:37:45,800 –> 00:37:48,000
\nunfruitful work.
\nThat was defending him in every <\/p>\n
644
\n00:37:48,000 –> 00:37:49,300
\nregard.
\nHad no confidence. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:37:49,300 –> 00:37:52,000
\nAnything, we were trying to do
\nand just counteracted everything<\/p>\n
646
\n00:37:52,000 –> 00:37:53,300
\nwe did.
\nHe was a brother who thought he <\/p>\n
647
\n00:37:53,300 –> 00:37:57,000
\nwas behaving like Christ, but
\nI’m not going to analyze why <\/p>\n
648
\n00:37:57,000 –> 00:37:59,800
\nthis happened in his mind, but
\nhe actually, I did this so I’m <\/p>\n
649
\n00:37:59,800 –> 00:38:02,200
\nsaying it’s possible.
\nThat’s the way it happens. <\/p>\n
650
\n00:38:02,500 –> 00:38:05,800
\nYou become sort of self-deceived
\nin a savior image and you don’t <\/p>\n
651
\n00:38:05,800 –> 00:38:09,900
\nreally apply what needs to be
\napplied in the problem instead. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:38:09,900 –> 00:38:13,600
\nIt says, expose them for.
\nIt is a shame even to speak of <\/p>\n
653
\n00:38:13,600 –> 00:38:15,900
\nthe things that they do in
\nsecret, but when anything is <\/p>\n
654
\n00:38:15,900 –> 00:38:18,900
\nexposed By the Light becomes
\nvisible, for anything that <\/p>\n
655
\n00:38:18,900 –> 00:38:22,500
\nbecomes visible is light and
\nit’s very painful thing to <\/p>\n
656
\n00:38:22,500 –> 00:38:26,300
\nexpose these unfruitful works.
\nBut when you do the pain is like<\/p>\n
657
\n00:38:26,300 –> 00:38:28,900
\nsurgery, you go through a period
\nwhere it really hurts. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:38:29,200 –> 00:38:33,500
\nIn order to get well, the
\nhealing follows the remedy and <\/p>\n
659
\n00:38:33,500 –> 00:38:36,300
\nthe remedy can frequently be
\ninvolved with very painful <\/p>\n
660
\n00:38:36,300 –> 00:38:39,300
\nconditions.
\nThere’s another aspect of this <\/p>\n
661
\n00:38:39,300 –> 00:38:41,200
\nand that’s obedience to the laws
\nof the land. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:38:41,200 –> 00:38:44,400
\nSo, in your state, let’s say in
\nPennsylvania, I think it must be<\/p>\n
663
\n00:38:44,400 –> 00:38:47,100
\nin Pennsylvania.
\nThat reporting is mandated to <\/p>\n
664
\n00:38:47,100 –> 00:38:53,000
\nchurch Elders.
\nThen it’s important for a <\/p>\n
665
\n00:38:53,000 –> 00:38:58,900
\nglacial use of state law and it
\nbecomes necessary in the context<\/p>\n
666
\n00:38:58,900 –> 00:39:01,200
\nof these The scriptures declare
\nthese things and exhort and <\/p>\n
667
\n00:39:01,200 –> 00:39:03,400
\nreprove with all authority.
\nLet no one. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:39:03,400 –> 00:39:07,200
\nDisregard, you remind them to be
\nsubmissive to the rulers and <\/p>\n
669
\n00:39:07,200 –> 00:39:10,400
\nauthorities, to be obedient to
\nbe ready for any honest work. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:39:10,500 –> 00:39:14,700
\nAnd what we are talking about
\nwhen we expose abuse is we’re <\/p>\n
671
\n00:39:14,700 –> 00:39:18,900
\nusing an honest work to uncover
\na very dishonest. <\/p>\n
672
\n00:39:18,900 –> 00:39:23,600
\nOne, very deceptive dark hidden
\ndishonest work. <\/p>\n
673
\n00:39:24,200 –> 00:39:26,600
\nSo to counteract that with
\nhonesty and I’ve been told <\/p>\n
674
\n00:39:26,600 –> 00:39:30,700
\nthere’s a brother in California,
\nwho is a Director of of a <\/p>\n
675
\n00:39:30,700 –> 00:39:33,900
\ncounseling center and we had
\nlots of conversations with him <\/p>\n
676
\n00:39:33,900 –> 00:39:36,300
\nalong the way and he said, you
\nknow, when a family is used to <\/p>\n
677
\n00:39:36,300 –> 00:39:39,700
\nhiding everything and they live,
\nkind of in the shadows of <\/p>\n
678
\n00:39:40,100 –> 00:39:43,600
\ncovering cover up, nobody will
\nadmit anything to themselves or <\/p>\n
679
\n00:39:43,600 –> 00:39:46,700
\nanybody else.
\nAnd they are used to basically <\/p>\n
680
\n00:39:46,700 –> 00:39:48,800
\nlying about families conditions
\nat home. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:39:48,800 –> 00:39:53,600
\nHe said to take that family and
\nstart operating on a level where<\/p>\n
682
\n00:39:53,600 –> 00:39:55,900
\nthe truth is out.
\nOn the table, he said, is an <\/p>\n
683
\n00:39:55,900 –> 00:39:59,000
\nextraordinarily painful
\nexperience for a family and many<\/p>\n
684
\n00:39:59,100 –> 00:40:02,800
\nOf them don’t survive.
\nIt, it’s so painful to work with<\/p>\n
685
\n00:40:02,800 –> 00:40:04,700
\ntruth.
\nWhen you’re used to covering it <\/p>\n
686
\n00:40:04,700 –> 00:40:07,500
\nup with deception, not
\nwillingly. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:40:07,500 –> 00:40:10,400
\nBut as a necessity, if that’s
\nthe case. <\/p>\n
688
\n00:40:12,100 –> 00:40:13,500
\nThen there’s judgment against
\nlaw. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:40:13,500 –> 00:40:15,800
\nBreakers in scripture, in Romans
\n13. <\/p>\n
690
\n00:40:15,800 –> 00:40:18,500
\nPaul says, let every person be
\nsubject to the governing <\/p>\n
691
\n00:40:18,500 –> 00:40:20,000
\nauthorities for there is no
\nAuthority. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:40:20,000 –> 00:40:23,600
\nExcept from God, those that
\nexist have been instituted by <\/p>\n
693
\n00:40:23,600 –> 00:40:26,900
\nGod, especially, I think, Child,
\nProtective Services must have <\/p>\n
694
\n00:40:26,900 –> 00:40:29,900
\nbeen instituted by God to
\nprotect their children, wherever<\/p>\n
695
\n00:40:29,900 –> 00:40:34,600
\nthis can be done, because they
\nbecome a threat to evildoers. <\/p>\n
696
\n00:40:35,700 –> 00:40:38,400
\nSo he says, therefore he could
\nresist the authorities, resist <\/p>\n
697
\n00:40:38,400 –> 00:40:41,200
\nOregon’s appointed and those who
\nresist will incur judgments. <\/p>\n
698
\n00:40:41,200 –> 00:40:43,800
\nSo this is the principle that
\neven sounds a little bit <\/p>\n
699
\n00:40:43,800 –> 00:40:48,200
\nstronger in defense of going to
\nauthorities and seeing, if you <\/p>\n
700
\n00:40:48,200 –> 00:40:52,100
\ncan do whatever it takes to stop
\nthis problem, because it kills <\/p>\n
701
\n00:40:52,100 –> 00:40:55,100
\nchildren emotionally and can’t
\nresult actually in worse things <\/p>\n
702
\n00:40:55,100 –> 00:40:59,000
\nthan that.
\nSo that’s the scriptural basis <\/p>\n
703
\n00:40:59,000 –> 00:41:04,500
\nfor our having a policy on it.
\nI’m going to turn your attention<\/p>\n
704
\n00:41:04,500 –> 00:41:08,500
\nto evidence of change because
\nthat’s the big question when <\/p>\n
705
\n00:41:08,600 –> 00:41:12,600
\nyou’re looking for a Penance.
\nAnd if you need to repent, then <\/p>\n
706
\n00:41:12,600 –> 00:41:14,800
\nthis will also help.
\nYou understand what it is. <\/p>\n
707
\n00:41:14,800 –> 00:41:17,600
\nThat actually applies to
\nrepentance. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:41:18,100 –> 00:41:20,400
\nSo you see the practicality of
\nthis when we look at the list, <\/p>\n
709
\n00:41:20,400 –> 00:41:24,300
\nthere are five steps in
\nRepentance that provide evidence<\/p>\n
710
\n00:41:24,300 –> 00:41:26,100
\nof a change of heart, that’s
\nwhat repentance means. <\/p>\n
711
\n00:41:26,100 –> 00:41:28,800
\nIf there’s been a change of
\nheart, the big question is if <\/p>\n
712
\n00:41:28,800 –> 00:41:32,600
\nsomebody is crying like Esau and
\nthey have a great tears. <\/p>\n
713
\n00:41:33,100 –> 00:41:36,900
\nThey really don’t mean it.
\nHow can you differentiate <\/p>\n
714
\n00:41:36,900 –> 00:41:40,600
\nbetween somebody that begging
\nfor forgiveness and appealing to<\/p>\n
715
\n00:41:40,600 –> 00:41:44,100
\nall the grace of the Cross?
\nBut remain unrepentant as <\/p>\n
716
\n00:41:44,100 –> 00:41:46,400
\ncompared to someone who is
\nbegging for forgiveness, will <\/p>\n
717
\n00:41:46,400 –> 00:41:49,000
\nall the same tears.
\nBut they are willing to follow a<\/p>\n
718
\n00:41:49,000 –> 00:41:52,500
\nprocess that proves that their
\nrepentance is genuine, that’s <\/p>\n
719
\n00:41:52,500 –> 00:41:56,200
\nwhat we’re looking at here.
\nSo Step One is they have to be <\/p>\n
720
\n00:41:56,200 –> 00:41:58,800
\nable to say what they did was
\nthat was wrong. <\/p>\n
721
\n00:41:59,200 –> 00:42:00,700
\nIs that simple?
\nThis is what I did. <\/p>\n
722
\n00:42:00,700 –> 00:42:02,500
\nThat was wrong.
\nA person is not repent. <\/p>\n
723
\n00:42:02,700 –> 00:42:04,700
\nIt has a very hard time finding
\nin his heart. <\/p>\n
724
\n00:42:04,700 –> 00:42:05,100
\nWhat?
\nHe did? <\/p>\n
725
\n00:42:05,100 –> 00:42:07,600
\nThat was wrong.
\nHe’s always justifying himself. <\/p>\n
726
\n00:42:07,600 –> 00:42:09,700
\nIf he’s narcissistic, he can’t
\ndo anything wrong. <\/p>\n
727
\n00:42:10,500 –> 00:42:12,600
\nHe’s right in his own eyes, he
\nnever did anything wrong. <\/p>\n
728
\n00:42:13,100 –> 00:42:15,800
\nSo this is critical to
\nunderstand what I did was wrong.<\/p>\n
729
\n00:42:15,800 –> 00:42:19,500
\nIf somebody has honest about
\nthat but you cannot tell them <\/p>\n
730
\n00:42:19,800 –> 00:42:22,000
\nwhat they did.
\nThat was wrong and then have <\/p>\n
731
\n00:42:22,000 –> 00:42:24,400
\nthem say well, I’m so sorry
\nabout that because they that <\/p>\n
732
\n00:42:24,400 –> 00:42:26,900
\ndoesn’t prove anything you just
\nlet them know what they’re <\/p>\n
733
\n00:42:26,900 –> 00:42:30,400
\nsupposed to say.
\nThey have to do the work of <\/p>\n
734
\n00:42:30,400 –> 00:42:33,300
\ntheir own repentance.
\nSo you ask them. <\/p>\n
735
\n00:42:34,300 –> 00:42:36,000
\nLet us know when you understand
\nwhat you did. <\/p>\n
736
\n00:42:36,000 –> 00:42:37,800
\nThat was wrong.
\nYou don’t tell you, don’t give <\/p>\n
737
\n00:42:37,800 –> 00:42:40,200
\nme any hints because a clever
\nperson. <\/p>\n
738
\n00:42:40,200 –> 00:42:42,700
\nWho Waits way human, you know,
\nhow human nature Works. <\/p>\n
739
\n00:42:42,900 –> 00:42:45,700
\nGiven the slightest little hint,
\nno, reflect that, right back to <\/p>\n
740
\n00:42:45,707 –> 00:42:47,200
\nyou and say, well, this is what
\nI’m doing is wrong. <\/p>\n
741
\n00:42:48,000 –> 00:42:51,400
\nSo you don’t want to tell them,
\nyou want them to discover <\/p>\n
742
\n00:42:51,400 –> 00:42:54,200
\nthemselves, then they should say
\nwhy it was bad for them. <\/p>\n
743
\n00:42:55,300 –> 00:42:58,600
\nWhat they did was wrong bad for
\nthem, they should also They <\/p>\n
744
\n00:42:58,600 –> 00:43:02,200
\ncorrespondingly y, it was bad
\nfor the person they hurt if they<\/p>\n
745
\n00:43:02,200 –> 00:43:04,200
\ncan’t do that.
\nA person is narcissistic as a <\/p>\n
746
\n00:43:04,200 –> 00:43:07,600
\nmental disorder or right in his
\nown eyes were is given over to <\/p>\n
747
\n00:43:07,600 –> 00:43:10,800
\nhis proud, his bride.
\nHe doesn’t know why it was bad <\/p>\n
748
\n00:43:10,800 –> 00:43:13,400
\nfor him and he couldn’t possibly
\nsay why it was bad for somebody <\/p>\n
749
\n00:43:13,400 –> 00:43:15,400
\nelse.
\nBecause he thinks what he did <\/p>\n
750
\n00:43:15,700 –> 00:43:17,600
\nwas good for them.
\nAnd what they did was bad for <\/p>\n
751
\n00:43:17,600 –> 00:43:20,900
\nhim, what they did was bad for
\nhim, not other way around, what <\/p>\n
752
\n00:43:20,900 –> 00:43:23,000
\nI did with that, for the person
\nI hurt. <\/p>\n
753
\n00:43:23,200 –> 00:43:25,700
\nSo they’re all confused.
\nThey can’t they can’t come up <\/p>\n
754
\n00:43:25,700 –> 00:43:28,300
\nwith this unless a genuine, if
\nthey’re genuine. <\/p>\n
755
\n00:43:28,400 –> 00:43:30,300
\nYou’ll hear straight answers to
\nthese questions. <\/p>\n
756
\n00:43:30,800 –> 00:43:35,100
\nStep 4, what I will do to ensure
\nthat it will never happen. <\/p>\n
757
\n00:43:35,100 –> 00:43:40,100
\nAgain, I know, one example, that
\nwas given to us was a man who <\/p>\n
758
\n00:43:40,100 –> 00:43:42,800
\nwas in this process had to
\npromise that he couldn’t go <\/p>\n
759
\n00:43:43,300 –> 00:43:45,300
\nwithin five miles of the ocean
\nfront. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:43:45,900 –> 00:43:48,300
\nAs he got near anyone, had a
\nbathing, any woman that had a <\/p>\n
761
\n00:43:48,308 –> 00:43:50,300
\nbathing suit on.
\nHe be tempted to his problem. <\/p>\n
762
\n00:43:50,300 –> 00:43:53,700
\nI don’t think we never did find
\nout what that was but he could <\/p>\n
763
\n00:43:53,700 –> 00:43:56,300
\nhis promise was he would stay
\noutside. <\/p>\n
764
\n00:43:56,300 –> 00:43:59,500
\nWe know another family where
\nthere was abuse Or condition <\/p>\n
765
\n00:43:59,500 –> 00:44:02,800
\nthat needed needed changing and
\nthey had the whole family had to<\/p>\n
766
\n00:44:02,808 –> 00:44:05,100
\nget rid of their phones.
\nNobody in the family, could have<\/p>\n
767
\n00:44:05,100 –> 00:44:07,600
\na phone in the house.
\nIt’s a problem. <\/p>\n
768
\n00:44:07,600 –> 00:44:09,900
\nThey were trying to solve and
\nthat’s what they did to ensure. <\/p>\n
769
\n00:44:10,200 –> 00:44:12,700
\nThat the problem that is in this
\ncase, it was a loss of a little <\/p>\n
770
\n00:44:12,700 –> 00:44:16,200
\ngirl would never happen again.
\nThey didn’t lose her. <\/p>\n
771
\n00:44:16,200 –> 00:44:18,600
\nThey saved your butt to prevent
\nthat from ever being a threat. <\/p>\n
772
\n00:44:18,600 –> 00:44:20,100
\nAgain, they had to get rid of
\ntheir phones. <\/p>\n
773
\n00:44:20,600 –> 00:44:23,400
\nYou think, if you’re serious
\nabout something about solving a <\/p>\n
774
\n00:44:23,400 –> 00:44:27,000
\nproblem, you’d be willing to
\napply the simple things. <\/p>\n
775
\n00:44:27,000 –> 00:44:29,900
\nThey’re required in this list
\nand the last one is what I will <\/p>\n
776
\n00:44:29,900 –> 00:44:31,700
\ndo to make restitution to the
\nperson. <\/p>\n
777
\n00:44:31,700 –> 00:44:34,600
\nI heard.
\nI think Esau did that with <\/p>\n
778
\n00:44:34,600 –> 00:44:36,800
\nJacob.
\nI think he made restitution to <\/p>\n
779
\n00:44:37,100 –> 00:44:40,200
\nWhen Jacob came back and they
\nhugged and they shared livestock<\/p>\n
780
\n00:44:40,200 –> 00:44:45,300
\ntogether and it didn’t turn, he
\nsaw his heart but he did repent <\/p>\n
781
\n00:44:45,300 –> 00:44:48,900
\nof his intent to kill his
\nbrother, his anger. <\/p>\n
782
\n00:44:50,000 –> 00:44:52,600
\nSo once again, if you want to
\ndownload the Ecclesia abuse <\/p>\n
783
\n00:44:52,600 –> 00:44:55,600
\npolicy, this will be in the PDF
\nfile that you can download from <\/p>\n
784
\n00:44:55,600 –> 00:45:00,100
\nyour website or you can remember
\nthis meant design.com comfort, <\/p>\n
785
\n00:45:00,500 –> 00:45:03,300
\nyou will see the abuse policy.
\nIf you’d like to use that as a <\/p>\n
786
\n00:45:03,300 –> 00:45:07,100
\ntemplate in your Ecclesia, to
\nextend the influence of what <\/p>\n
787
\n00:45:07,100 –> 00:45:10,500
\nwe’re talking about here Beyond
\ntoday, then you’re welcome to <\/p>\n
788
\n00:45:10,500 –> 00:45:15,800
\ndo.
\nSo in scriptures, there’s this <\/p>\n
789
\n00:45:15,800 –> 00:45:20,500
\nproblem of abuse is identified,
\nfor example, in in Abigail’s <\/p>\n
790
\n00:45:20,500 –> 00:45:23,300
\nrelationship with nabel,
\nneighbors described, as a, as an<\/p>\n
791
\n00:45:23,300 –> 00:45:27,600
\ninsufferable fool, David was
\ngoing to kill him and a bit me. <\/p>\n
792
\n00:45:27,600 –> 00:45:31,300
\nI saved his life but this is the
\ndescription of him. <\/p>\n
793
\n00:45:31,400 –> 00:45:32,900
\nI think we would all probably
\nagree. <\/p>\n
794
\n00:45:32,900 –> 00:45:36,800
\nHe was probably abusive.
\nThe man’s name was nabal and his<\/p>\n
795
\n00:45:37,000 –> 00:45:39,600
\nHis name was Abigail, the woman
\nwas intelligent and beautiful <\/p>\n
796
\n00:45:39,600 –> 00:45:42,900
\nwith the Mana KB was harsh and
\nevil in his dealings. <\/p>\n
797
\n00:45:43,400 –> 00:45:46,800
\nHe is such a worthless fool.
\nNobody can talk to him and that <\/p>\n
798
\n00:45:46,800 –> 00:45:49,100
\nsounds to me, like he was right
\nin his own eyes. <\/p>\n
799
\n00:45:49,100 –> 00:45:53,700
\nHe was probably narcissistic.
\nSo this was Nable and yet and <\/p>\n
800
\n00:45:53,700 –> 00:45:56,700
\nyet, what’s the power of
\nspiritual things? <\/p>\n
801
\n00:45:56,700 –> 00:46:00,300
\nHow does it take everything and
\nbecome unnatural to what his <\/p>\n
802
\n00:46:00,300 –> 00:46:02,700
\nfleshly and, and turn it around
\nand say? <\/p>\n
803
\n00:46:02,700 –> 00:46:06,000
\nBut there may be hope here, this
\nis what she did. <\/p>\n
804
\n00:46:06,900 –> 00:46:10,900
\nShe tried to save his life.
\nHe had got an ending up judging <\/p>\n
805
\n00:46:10,900 –> 00:46:15,000
\nhim on the spot then but she his
\nwife was so wonderful. <\/p>\n
806
\n00:46:15,000 –> 00:46:17,900
\nShe tried to save it and
\ncertainly one of the king’s <\/p>\n
807
\n00:46:17,900 –> 00:46:22,600
\nfavor she had no guile.
\nThis is the point about guile <\/p>\n
808
\n00:46:22,600 –> 00:46:25,600
\nand guileless – there are a lot
\nof women that are kind of <\/p>\n
809
\n00:46:25,600 –> 00:46:29,600
\nguileless or helpless that makes
\nChic vulnerable. <\/p>\n
810
\n00:46:29,800 –> 00:46:33,800
\nSo those of us who are humble
\nbefore God and humble before men<\/p>\n
811
\n00:46:33,800 –> 00:46:35,800
\nhave a certain level of
\nvulnerability. <\/p>\n
812
\n00:46:36,700 –> 00:46:39,700
\nI’m not going to spend a lot of
\ntime on this but I want to tell <\/p>\n
813
\n00:46:39,700 –> 00:46:42,200
\nyou that dr.
\nThomas was such an one he was a <\/p>\n
814
\n00:46:42,200 –> 00:46:46,500
\nlittle sheep in his own right to
\nand he entrusted to sail his <\/p>\n
815
\n00:46:46,500 –> 00:46:49,600
\nproperty twice in his life.
\nOnce a house, a very nice house <\/p>\n
816
\n00:46:49,600 –> 00:46:52,800
\nin Richmond.
\nAnd another big farm around <\/p>\n
817
\n00:46:52,800 –> 00:46:57,100
\nChicago to this to to an agent
\nto sell for him. <\/p>\n
818
\n00:46:57,400 –> 00:47:00,600
\nAnd in both cases, the agents
\nold house and absconded with the<\/p>\n
819
\n00:47:00,600 –> 00:47:04,600
\nfunds, he bought a house and
\ntrusted an agent to sell it. <\/p>\n
820
\n00:47:04,800 –> 00:47:08,300
\nI lost the entire value of his
\nproperty because the agents told<\/p>\n
821
\n00:47:08,300 –> 00:47:10,900
\nphones right out from under him.
\nSo you tell me that isn’t a <\/p>\n
822
\n00:47:10,908 –> 00:47:15,400
\nvulnerable, a Meek and spirit
\nthat turns vulnerable to a <\/p>\n
823
\n00:47:15,408 –> 00:47:20,900
\ndevious mind even dr.
\nDunn’s with all that strength. <\/p>\n
824
\n00:47:22,400 –> 00:47:24,900
\nEven though I walk through the
\nvalley of the shadow of death <\/p>\n
825
\n00:47:25,000 –> 00:47:28,300
\nsays David.
\nI will fear no evil for you are <\/p>\n
826
\n00:47:28,300 –> 00:47:30,800
\nwith me, your rod and your
\nstaff. <\/p>\n
827
\n00:47:30,800 –> 00:47:33,300
\nThey comfort me.
\nSo being vulnerable sheep. <\/p>\n
828
\n00:47:33,600 –> 00:47:37,300
\nHow does God’s rod and his staff
\nComfort us? <\/p>\n
829
\n00:47:38,100 –> 00:47:40,700
\nThe rod is there.
\nIt’s a device that Shepherds <\/p>\n
830
\n00:47:40,700 –> 00:47:45,400
\nused for protection and guidance
\nand be away a wolf or a hostile <\/p>\n
831
\n00:47:45,400 –> 00:47:47,900
\nanimal.
\nThey guide the Chic with it. <\/p>\n
832
\n00:47:47,900 –> 00:47:52,000
\nSo protection and guidance are
\ntwo of the things that we get. <\/p>\n
833
\n00:47:52,200 –> 00:47:56,800
\nLife in the truth from a high
\npriest and from God’s word the <\/p>\n
834
\n00:47:56,800 –> 00:47:59,800
\nstaff is for Rescue and
\nCorrections of protection and <\/p>\n
835
\n00:47:59,800 –> 00:48:02,000
\nguidance.
\nRescue and correction are the <\/p>\n
836
\n00:48:02,000 –> 00:48:05,300
\nthings that a good shepherd and
\nwe are in the care. <\/p>\n
837
\n00:48:05,600 –> 00:48:07,700
\nIn this fold of a very good
\nshepherd. <\/p>\n
838
\n00:48:07,900 –> 00:48:10,000
\nThose are the things that we get
\nfrom him. <\/p>\n
839
\n00:48:10,600 –> 00:48:13,300
\nThe way, the little crook worth.
\nI don’t know if you ever do <\/p>\n
840
\n00:48:13,300 –> 00:48:16,100
\nthis, but it’s just big enough
\nto fit around the hook of a <\/p>\n
841
\n00:48:16,100 –> 00:48:17,700
\nsheep.
\nAnd if a sheep gets caught in a <\/p>\n
842
\n00:48:17,700 –> 00:48:22,000
\nThicket Shepherd, can grab a
\nsheep with, with his the hook. <\/p>\n
843
\n00:48:22,100 –> 00:48:27,600
\nAround the Sheep’s hook and and
\npulling that the rescue him from<\/p>\n
844
\n00:48:27,800 –> 00:48:30,600
\ngetting stuck and I think she
\nprobably gets stuck a lot. <\/p>\n
845
\n00:48:30,800 –> 00:48:35,000
\nMy impression is that brother
\ndoes Dev Des mansur told us that<\/p>\n
846
\n00:48:35,000 –> 00:48:38,300
\nshe \/, so dumb that they will
\ndie inside of water rather than <\/p>\n
847
\n00:48:38,300 –> 00:48:40,900
\nago and taking a drink.
\nShepherd has to call them to the<\/p>\n
848
\n00:48:40,900 –> 00:48:45,100
\nwater and and get them to drink.
\nWe’ve them to water and make <\/p>\n
849
\n00:48:45,100 –> 00:48:48,100
\nthem drink because they are
\notherwise, so innocent and <\/p>\n
850
\n00:48:48,100 –> 00:48:50,600
\nvulnerable that they will die
\ninside of water. <\/p>\n
851
\n00:48:50,900 –> 00:48:54,800
\nDrinking it on there.
\nSo sheep need Shepherds and we <\/p>\n
852
\n00:48:54,800 –> 00:48:57,600
\nare supposed to be sheep like,
\nthat, doesn’t mean we’re done. <\/p>\n
853
\n00:48:58,100 –> 00:49:02,700
\nIt means that we need to be led
\nand rescued and protected and <\/p>\n
854
\n00:49:02,700 –> 00:49:07,800
\ncorrected by Our Shepherd, so
\nprotection and rescue Comfort <\/p>\n
855
\n00:49:07,800 –> 00:49:11,400
\ncheap when they are helpless.
\nAnd that’s why Jesus said, pray <\/p>\n
856
\n00:49:11,600 –> 00:49:16,800
\nthis lead us not into temptation
\nand Deliver Us from Evil. <\/p>\n
857
\n00:49:18,500 –> 00:49:22,200
\nThis is something Solomon said
\nabout the oppressed and <\/p>\n
858
\n00:49:22,200 –> 00:49:25,700
\nvulnerability of abuse,
\naccording to Solomon again, I <\/p>\n
859
\n00:49:25,700 –> 00:49:28,600
\nobserve all the acts of
\nOppression being done under the <\/p>\n
860
\n00:49:28,600 –> 00:49:32,100
\nsun.
\nLook at the tears of those who <\/p>\n
861
\n00:49:32,100 –> 00:49:35,900
\nare oppressed, They have no one
\nto comfort them. <\/p>\n
862
\n00:49:37,000 –> 00:49:40,900
\nPower is with those who oppress
\nthem, and they have no one to <\/p>\n
863
\n00:49:40,900 –> 00:49:42,800
\ncomfort them.
\nAnd Jesus was oppressed like <\/p>\n
864
\n00:49:42,800 –> 00:49:44,800
\nthis.
\nHe was abused by the Pharisees. <\/p>\n
865
\n00:49:45,100 –> 00:49:47,900
\nAnd the people who hated in the
\npeople who despises his <\/p>\n
866
\n00:49:48,000 –> 00:49:50,900
\nAssumption of Authority, or they
\nthought was an assumption of <\/p>\n
867
\n00:49:50,900 –> 00:49:57,200
\nwrongful, some Assumption of
\nauthority and It’s as if him I <\/p>\n
868
\n00:49:57,200 –> 00:50:00,800
\nlook for pity.
\nFound none. <\/p>\n
869
\n00:50:02,100 –> 00:50:06,600
\nHe was abused and he couldn’t
\nfind any making true. <\/p>\n
870
\n00:50:06,600 –> 00:50:11,600
\nWhat Solomon observes here.
\nJustice please for correction, <\/p>\n
871
\n00:50:11,600 –> 00:50:13,900
\nso we love Justice along with
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
872
\n00:50:13,900 –> 00:50:17,900
\nHe’s he’s the purveyor of
\njustice and and this verse says,<\/p>\n
873
\n00:50:17,900 –> 00:50:21,300
\nIsaiah says wash yourselves
\ncleanse yourselves, remove your <\/p>\n
874
\n00:50:21,300 –> 00:50:25,000
\nevil Deeds From My Sight stop
\ndoing evil learn to do. <\/p>\n
875
\n00:50:25,000 –> 00:50:27,000
\nWhat is good?
\nSeek Justice? <\/p>\n
876
\n00:50:27,100 –> 00:50:31,400
\nCorrect the oppressor God may
\nwork with both. <\/p>\n
877
\n00:50:31,400 –> 00:50:33,400
\nYou remember, he worked with
\nanother abuser. <\/p>\n
878
\n00:50:34,500 –> 00:50:37,600
\nAnd actually put him into
\nprominence and Ecclesia life. <\/p>\n
879
\n00:50:37,600 –> 00:50:42,200
\nHe took the Apostle Paul who was
\nmurdering his brethren, And he <\/p>\n
880
\n00:50:42,600 –> 00:50:45,600
\ncaught him up short.
\nHe changed his heart and he <\/p>\n
881
\n00:50:45,600 –> 00:50:49,000
\nturned him from an abuser into
\nthe man who set the world on <\/p>\n
882
\n00:50:49,000 –> 00:50:53,800
\nfire with the Light of Christ.
\nSo there is hope for both. <\/p>\n
883
\n00:50:54,000 –> 00:50:57,100
\nGod may work with both the poor
\nand the pressure have this in <\/p>\n
884
\n00:50:57,100 –> 00:51:00,600
\ncommon the Lord gives light to
\nthe eyes of both. <\/p>\n
885
\n00:51:00,600 –> 00:51:05,400
\nSo there’s also a balancing Q in
\nthis whole message that says, if<\/p>\n
886
\n00:51:05,400 –> 00:51:09,900
\nthere’s any way we can, let’s go
\nto work to see if we can turn <\/p>\n
887
\n00:51:09,900 –> 00:51:12,600
\nabusers, heart into a loving
\nheart. <\/p>\n
888
\n00:51:13,400 –> 00:51:16,600
\nDavid foreshadows Christ abuse
\nwhen he says how long O Lord, <\/p>\n
889
\n00:51:16,600 –> 00:51:21,000
\nwill you hide yourself forever?
\nRemember, Lord, the ridicule <\/p>\n
890
\n00:51:21,000 –> 00:51:24,200
\nagainst your servants.
\nIn my heart, I carry abuse from <\/p>\n
891
\n00:51:24,200 –> 00:51:27,700
\nAll Peoples, how your enemies
\nhave ridiculed Lord, and how <\/p>\n
892
\n00:51:27,700 –> 00:51:31,100
\nthey have ridiculed.
\nEvery step of your anointed, may<\/p>\n
893
\n00:51:31,100 –> 00:51:35,100
\nthe Lord, be praised forever.
\nAnd this is, is what happened to<\/p>\n
894
\n00:51:35,100 –> 00:51:37,100
\nDavid.
\nHe speaks of it, I think <\/p>\n
895
\n00:51:37,100 –> 00:51:40,700
\nprophetically of Christ saying
\nof both of them, They Carried <\/p>\n
896
\n00:51:40,700 –> 00:51:43,700
\nabuse in their heart, and if
\nyou’ve come across it in your <\/p>\n
897
\n00:51:43,700 –> 00:51:48,500
\nlife, you will also carry it in
\nyour heart and you will be <\/p>\n
898
\n00:51:48,500 –> 00:51:51,800
\nridiculed.
\nSolomon’s advice about abuse and<\/p>\n
899
\n00:51:51,800 –> 00:51:54,800
\nwe mentioned this earlier as
\ndrive out, a scoffer and strife,<\/p>\n
900
\n00:51:54,800 –> 00:51:56,900
\nwill go out and quarreling in a
\npeaceful cease. <\/p>\n
901
\n00:51:57,500 –> 00:52:01,100
\nWhoever corrects a scoffer will
\nget himself abuse and he who <\/p>\n
902
\n00:52:01,100 –> 00:52:04,200
\nrefused a wicked man.
\nIncurs injury, do not reprove a <\/p>\n
903
\n00:52:04,200 –> 00:52:07,400
\nscoffer, or he will hate you,
\nthe balance on that is that when<\/p>\n
904
\n00:52:07,400 –> 00:52:10,400
\nwe were working with this
\nabusive family Gene, and I have <\/p>\n
905
\n00:52:10,400 –> 00:52:13,400
\nput a deadbolt lock on the door
\nevery time he went in the house,<\/p>\n
906
\n00:52:13,700 –> 00:52:16,200
\nand we knew that if this man
\ncame to the door, I told Jean. <\/p>\n
907
\n00:52:16,200 –> 00:52:17,900
\nDon’t ever open it, he’s
\ndangerous. <\/p>\n
908
\n00:52:18,300 –> 00:52:20,400
\nI was in court one day and I
\ntold Clerk. <\/p>\n
909
\n00:52:20,400 –> 00:52:23,400
\nI said if I get murdered, this
\nis the guy that did it. <\/p>\n
910
\n00:52:24,400 –> 00:52:26,600
\nI was, I was vulnerable to this
\nwhole thing, and that’s what <\/p>\n
911
\n00:52:26,600 –> 00:52:29,700
\nsolemn is talking about.
\nYou gonna correct the scoff or <\/p>\n
912
\n00:52:29,700 –> 00:52:32,900
\nyou’re at risk.
\nPaul addresses separation and <\/p>\n
913
\n00:52:32,900 –> 00:52:37,600
\nabuse is another thing that
\noccurs where somebody needs to a<\/p>\n
914
\n00:52:37,600 –> 00:52:41,600
\nwoman needs relief, but if the
\nunbelieving partner separates, <\/p>\n
915
\n00:52:41,600 –> 00:52:43,700
\nlet it be.
\nSo, in such cases, the brother <\/p>\n
916
\n00:52:43,700 –> 00:52:46,500
\nor sister is not enslaved.
\nGod has called you to peace. <\/p>\n
917
\n00:52:46,700 –> 00:52:51,100
\nWhen there is no peace at home,
\nyou have Paul’s opinion that <\/p>\n
918
\n00:52:51,100 –> 00:52:54,000
\nit’s okay to separate with the
\nview of restoration <\/p>\n
919
\n00:52:54,100 –> 00:52:57,000
\nReconciliation.
\nAnd if separation is only way, <\/p>\n
920
\n00:52:57,000 –> 00:53:00,000
\nyou can breathe at night, to go
\nto sleep, then it becomes an <\/p>\n
921
\n00:53:00,000 –> 00:53:06,100
\nessential part of healing.
\nThen in the end, once again, <\/p>\n
922
\n00:53:06,900 –> 00:53:11,600
\nthere’s the side of what will
\nhappen in the Kingdom of this is<\/p>\n
923
\n00:53:11,600 –> 00:53:13,300
\na message to take the time to
\nmake. <\/p>\n
924
\n00:53:13,300 –> 00:53:14,800
\nI know we’re getting a little
\nbit long here. <\/p>\n
925
\n00:53:15,100 –> 00:53:18,100
\nIt’s been a long day.
\nThree in a row for me, three in <\/p>\n
926
\n00:53:18,100 –> 00:53:22,200
\na row for you.
\nSame three in a row, but this is<\/p>\n
927
\n00:53:22,200 –> 00:53:25,100
\nso important that I could end
\nhere, but I’m not going to <\/p>\n
928
\n00:53:25,100 –> 00:53:27,400
\nbecause this is an aspect of
\nGod’s judgments. <\/p>\n
929
\n00:53:27,400 –> 00:53:29,900
\nIn the Kingdom that are
\ncritically important and it’s a <\/p>\n
930
\n00:53:29,908 –> 00:53:33,500
\nmessage that comes to us from
\nMalachi two fathers. <\/p>\n
931
\n00:53:34,300 –> 00:53:38,800
\nIt’s a message to father’s.
\nSo if this was a verse, it would<\/p>\n
932
\n00:53:38,800 –> 00:53:42,400
\nsay, instead of saying
\ncoastlands, listen up what we’re<\/p>\n
933
\n00:53:42,400 –> 00:53:43,500
\nsaying?
\nHere is father’s. <\/p>\n
934
\n00:53:44,200 –> 00:53:47,400
\nListen up.
\nNot a father yet. <\/p>\n
935
\n00:53:47,400 –> 00:53:51,700
\nYou still need to listen because
\nyou maybe one day a message for <\/p>\n
936
\n00:53:51,700 –> 00:53:54,800
\nhusbands and fires God’s.
\nJudgments are spoken of in two <\/p>\n
937
\n00:53:54,800 –> 00:54:00,500
\nsenses Fire Light.
\nThe light is what led did you <\/p>\n
938
\n00:54:00,500 –> 00:54:02,500
\nthrough the Wilderness?
\nThe fire is what consume the <\/p>\n
939
\n00:54:02,500 –> 00:54:06,000
\nanimal animal flesh.
\nSo, these are both aspects of <\/p>\n
940
\n00:54:06,000 –> 00:54:08,800
\nGod’s protection and his
\njudgment against flesh. <\/p>\n
941
\n00:54:09,500 –> 00:54:12,500
\nThis is how God will deal with
\nabusers, who tortured his <\/p>\n
942
\n00:54:12,500 –> 00:54:14,600
\nbeloved in his little ones in
\nthe Kingdom. <\/p>\n
943
\n00:54:15,800 –> 00:54:18,500
\nThere’s fire and there’s light.
\nThe fire. <\/p>\n
944
\n00:54:19,400 –> 00:54:21,300
\nHe said Malachi is going to burn
\nup. <\/p>\n
945
\n00:54:21,300 –> 00:54:24,400
\nThe wicked will be like, stubble
\nthe light will heal. <\/p>\n
946
\n00:54:24,400 –> 00:54:27,200
\nThe faithful.
\nThese are God’s judgments <\/p>\n
947
\n00:54:27,200 –> 00:54:30,900
\noperating on those who have
\ntortured and those who were <\/p>\n
948
\n00:54:30,900 –> 00:54:34,400
\ntortured.
\nBoth are his recompense. <\/p>\n
949
\n00:54:34,400 –> 00:54:38,700
\nIn other words, the payback he
\nsays a fire behold. <\/p>\n
950
\n00:54:38,700 –> 00:54:41,400
\nThe day comes that will burn as
\nan oven and all the proud. <\/p>\n
951
\n00:54:41,400 –> 00:54:44,000
\nYea, he all that do wickedly
\nshall be stubble. <\/p>\n
952
\n00:54:45,600 –> 00:54:47,000
\nIt’s what you have to look
\nforward to. <\/p>\n
953
\n00:54:47,000 –> 00:54:51,200
\nIf you knew the truth.
\nYou, you are responsible for <\/p>\n
954
\n00:54:51,200 –> 00:54:54,100
\nyour knowledge and you thought
\nthat you could Escape God’s <\/p>\n
955
\n00:54:54,100 –> 00:54:57,800
\njudgments.
\nThe wicked will be among those <\/p>\n
956
\n00:54:57,800 –> 00:54:59,700
\nwho he turns this.
\nDouble the data comes, we’ll <\/p>\n
957
\n00:54:59,700 –> 00:55:02,300
\nburn them up, saith the Lord of
\nhosts and it shall leave them. <\/p>\n
958
\n00:55:02,300 –> 00:55:06,500
\nNeither root nor Jam no branch
\nand there is comfort in this <\/p>\n
959
\n00:55:07,100 –> 00:55:09,200
\nwill see tomorrow.
\nThere’s comfort in this for <\/p>\n
960
\n00:55:09,200 –> 00:55:12,100
\npeople who’ve suffered at the
\nhand of his abuse on the other <\/p>\n
961
\n00:55:12,100 –> 00:55:14,900
\nhand, he says, going to burn the
\nwicked up on one hand. <\/p>\n
962
\n00:55:14,900 –> 00:55:18,900
\nSo those are my calves that are
\nheld in a stall for a sacrifice <\/p>\n
963
\n00:55:19,100 –> 00:55:21,600
\nand then cut up and burned with
\nfire. <\/p>\n
964
\n00:55:21,700 –> 00:55:25,100
\nIf it’s a bull, it’s totally.
\nIf you’re a man like a bull then<\/p>\n
965
\n00:55:25,100 –> 00:55:27,600
\nthere was a plenty message.
\nAt Milan, the sacrifices because<\/p>\n
966
\n00:55:27,600 –> 00:55:32,300
\nthe bull was totally consumed.
\nBull flesh and it was consumed <\/p>\n
967
\n00:55:32,300 –> 00:55:35,300
\nso much for bullies.
\nBut then on the other hand he <\/p>\n
968
\n00:55:35,300 –> 00:55:39,500
\nsays, but unto you that fear, my
\nname shall the sun of <\/p>\n
969
\n00:55:39,500 –> 00:55:43,400
\nrighteousness arise with healing
\nin his wings and you shall go <\/p>\n
970
\n00:55:43,400 –> 00:55:46,000
\nforth and grow up as calves from
\nthe stall. <\/p>\n
971
\n00:55:46,000 –> 00:55:49,500
\nSo there’s two animals here.
\nOne set of animals are burned up<\/p>\n
972
\n00:55:49,500 –> 00:55:52,400
\nby God’s judgments and the
\nothers, go and dance in the <\/p>\n
973
\n00:55:52,400 –> 00:55:55,200
\nmorning.
\nSo, glad to be out and free from<\/p>\n
974
\n00:55:55,200 –> 00:55:56,800
\nthe stall.
\nThey’re no longer bound up by <\/p>\n
975
\n00:55:56,800 –> 00:55:59,800
\neven by a stall, there’s no
\njudgment in store for them. <\/p>\n
976
\n00:56:00,200 –> 00:56:01,800
\nThey dance.
\nI love you ever seen little <\/p>\n
977
\n00:56:01,800 –> 00:56:04,700
\ncalves dance, but it’s just the
\nsweetest little thing that <\/p>\n
978
\n00:56:04,700 –> 00:56:06,700
\nkicked their legs up.
\nThey jump up and down and go <\/p>\n
979
\n00:56:06,700 –> 00:56:10,200
\nthis way and that and they’re
\njust so happy to be out there in<\/p>\n
980
\n00:56:10,200 –> 00:56:13,100
\nthe morning sun.
\nWell, that’s a picture of saints<\/p>\n
981
\n00:56:13,100 –> 00:56:14,400
\nwhen they’re delivered in the
\nkingdom. <\/p>\n
982
\n00:56:15,500 –> 00:56:18,600
\nAnd you you who are Saints will
\ntread down the wicked for they <\/p>\n
983
\n00:56:18,600 –> 00:56:22,400
\nshould be asses under the ashes
\nunder the soles of your feet in <\/p>\n
984
\n00:56:22,400 –> 00:56:26,100
\nthe day that I shall do.
\nThis says, the Lord earlier he <\/p>\n
985
\n00:56:26,100 –> 00:56:32,300
\nhad sent said this Mark these
\nwords When I come, I will draw <\/p>\n
986
\n00:56:32,300 –> 00:56:35,200
\nnear to you and judgment.
\nAnd this is a very Stern. <\/p>\n
987
\n00:56:35,500 –> 00:56:39,800
\nI’m putting my finger out like a
\nStern Schoolmaster, but I think <\/p>\n
988
\n00:56:39,800 –> 00:56:43,500
\nGod’s finger is a little bit
\nmore Sterner than mine and this <\/p>\n
989
\n00:56:43,500 –> 00:56:45,800
\nis also the spirit of Christ in
\njudgment. <\/p>\n
990
\n00:56:45,800 –> 00:56:50,900
\nI will be a swift witness
\nagainst deceivers, their abusers<\/p>\n
991
\n00:56:51,800 –> 00:56:57,000
\nagainst adulterers, their
\nabusers against Liars, they’re <\/p>\n
992
\n00:56:57,000 –> 00:57:03,900
\nalso abusers, And against those
\nwho oppress workers, widows and <\/p>\n
993
\n00:57:03,900 –> 00:57:07,800
\nchildren, against those who turn
\nstrangers away. <\/p>\n
994
\n00:57:08,900 –> 00:57:12,100
\nDo not fear me, says the Lord of
\nhosts these men. <\/p>\n
995
\n00:57:12,700 –> 00:57:15,500
\nThey should fear God.
\nIf they don’t know that, there’s<\/p>\n
996
\n00:57:15,500 –> 00:57:17,700
\nnothing to fear.
\nBut for those of us who know <\/p>\n
997
\n00:57:17,700 –> 00:57:20,800
\nGod, we think we can get rough
\nat home and get our way through <\/p>\n
998
\n00:57:20,800 –> 00:57:24,500
\nbeing rough, being angry being
\nharsh, thing for feign, being <\/p>\n
999
\n00:57:24,500 –> 00:57:28,100
\ncruel with our words, being
\nputting fear in the hearts of <\/p>\n
1000
\n00:57:28,100 –> 00:57:32,200
\nour wives and our children.
\nI says you should be fearing me.<\/p>\n
1001
\n00:57:32,900 –> 00:57:35,300
\nI’m something to be afraid of
\nand I will deal with you when <\/p>\n
1002
\n00:57:35,300 –> 00:57:37,300
\nthe time comes, that’s God’s
\nmessage. <\/p>\n
1003
\n00:57:37,800 –> 00:57:40,600
\nThe day is coming, I shall burn
\nthem up. <\/p>\n
1004
\n00:57:40,900 –> 00:57:44,200
\nOn the other hand, you shall go
\nforth is casual install, but <\/p>\n
1005
\n00:57:44,200 –> 00:57:48,500
\nunto you that fear my name,
\nShall the sun of righteousness? <\/p>\n
1006
\n00:57:48,500 –> 00:57:53,000
\nArise with healing in his wings.
\nYou shall go forth and grow up <\/p>\n
1007
\n00:57:53,000 –> 00:57:58,000
\nas calves in the stall.
\nWe hold I will send you Elijah. <\/p>\n
1008
\n00:57:58,000 –> 00:58:00,500
\nThis is the message and this is
\nthis is where we’re going to <\/p>\n
1009
\n00:58:00,500 –> 00:58:03,000
\nmake the point.
\nSo listen up if you get a little<\/p>\n
1010
\n00:58:03,000 –> 00:58:06,400
\nbit tired wake up right now and
\ngo ahead and listen to this <\/p>\n
1011
\n00:58:06,400 –> 00:58:08,800
\npoint in the context of what
\nwe’re saying because this is the<\/p>\n
1012
\n00:58:08,800 –> 00:58:12,400
\nend here and of the message and
\nit’s the point, it’s the bottom <\/p>\n
1013
\n00:58:12,400 –> 00:58:13,700
\nline.
\nIf you want to call it that <\/p>\n
1014
\n00:58:13,900 –> 00:58:18,200
\nbehold, I will send you Elijah
\nthe prophet before the coming of<\/p>\n
1015
\n00:58:18,200 –> 00:58:20,500
\nthe great and Dreadful day of
\nthe Lord is great. <\/p>\n
1016
\n00:58:20,500 –> 00:58:23,500
\nFor those people who’ve been
\nconserving him and it’s dreadful<\/p>\n
1017
\n00:58:23,500 –> 00:58:27,700
\nfor those people who have been
\nAnd he shall turn. <\/p>\n
1018
\n00:58:27,700 –> 00:58:31,200
\nThis is the work of Christ in
\nthe world and this is the work <\/p>\n
1019
\n00:58:31,200 –> 00:58:33,400
\nof his administration.
\nWhen you go forth to the <\/p>\n
1020
\n00:58:33,400 –> 00:58:36,400
\nnation’s and become a blessing
\nto them, he shall turn. <\/p>\n
1021
\n00:58:36,400 –> 00:58:40,200
\nThe hearts of the father’s to
\nthe children and the hearts of <\/p>\n
1022
\n00:58:40,200 –> 00:58:44,400
\nthe children, to their fathers,
\nlest I come, and smite the Earth<\/p>\n
1023
\n00:58:44,400 –> 00:58:47,200
\nwith a curse.
\nIn other words, what he is <\/p>\n
1024
\n00:58:47,200 –> 00:58:50,000
\nsaying here is that the problem.
\nThis is a last verse of the Old <\/p>\n
1025
\n00:58:50,000 –> 00:58:52,100
\nTestament.
\nThe problem with the whole <\/p>\n
1026
\n00:58:52,100 –> 00:58:55,800
\nworld, the problem that Jesus
\nultimately came and Solve it as <\/p>\n
1027
\n00:58:55,800 –> 00:58:59,200
\nsacrificing will resolve further
\nfully when he’s on the throne of<\/p>\n
1028
\n00:58:59,200 –> 00:59:02,400
\nhis father David.
\nThis problem is that fathers are<\/p>\n
1029
\n00:59:02,400 –> 00:59:05,900
\nselfish and children are
\nrebellious, and they’re probably<\/p>\n
1030
\n00:59:05,900 –> 00:59:08,500
\nrebellious mostly because the
\nfathers are so selfish. <\/p>\n
1031
\n00:59:09,000 –> 00:59:10,800
\nAnd this is the problem with the
\nwhole earth. <\/p>\n
1032
\n00:59:11,000 –> 00:59:14,400
\nOtherwise he wouldn’t have said,
\nlest I come and smite the Earth <\/p>\n
1033
\n00:59:14,400 –> 00:59:17,800
\nwith a curse?
\nI don’t mean to sound to sound <\/p>\n
1034
\n00:59:17,800 –> 00:59:22,400
\nlike I’m yelling at you about,
\nbut I think maybe that point <\/p>\n
1035
\n00:59:22,400 –> 00:59:25,600
\nneeds to be that way.
\nBecause if you have anger in <\/p>\n
1036
\n00:59:25,600 –> 00:59:29,900
\nyour bosom, You can remember
\nthat anger rests in the bosom of<\/p>\n
1037
\n00:59:29,900 –> 00:59:31,700
\nthe fools.
\nI have it in mind and I have to <\/p>\n
1038
\n00:59:31,700 –> 00:59:36,900
\nwork very hard to keep it down.
\nI hate the anger, the anger has <\/p>\n
1039
\n00:59:36,900 –> 00:59:39,700
\nto stop it.
\nIts destructive is the thing <\/p>\n
1040
\n00:59:39,700 –> 00:59:43,200
\nthat causes abuse and it’s the
\nproblem here that Elijah will <\/p>\n
1041
\n00:59:43,200 –> 00:59:44,900
\ncorrect.
\nFirst in Israel on the rest of <\/p>\n
1042
\n00:59:44,900 –> 00:59:48,900
\nus will correct when we bring
\nChrist righteous law to the <\/p>\n
1043
\n00:59:48,900 –> 00:59:52,200
\nwhole world into the hearts of
\nmen and women who are parents in<\/p>\n
1044
\n00:59:52,200 –> 00:59:55,000
\nthat day.
\nSo that all the families of the <\/p>\n
1045
\n00:59:55,000 –> 00:59:57,300
\nearth will be blessed and
\nblessed with peace. <\/p>\n
1046
\n00:59:57,500 –> 01:00:02,400
\nJesus blessed with happiness,
\nblessed with joy and love and <\/p>\n
1047
\n01:00:02,400 –> 01:00:05,900
\nall those good things that are
\npromised to us in the fullness <\/p>\n
1048
\n01:00:05,900 –> 01:00:09,700
\nof God’s word, that will be the
\nprevailing tone of this world in<\/p>\n
1049
\n01:00:09,700 –> 01:00:15,500
