Class 5 from this series was used for GCT Episode 158.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:04,500 –> 00:00:09,000
\nof All Comfort.
\nFirst class is entitled comfort <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:09,000 –> 00:00:12,500
\nin sickness recovery in the
\nKingdom, brother, Mark? <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:13,400 –> 00:00:16,300
\nWell, good afternoon love,
\nBrothers and Sisters in Christ. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:16,300 –> 00:00:18,900
\nFirst, let me say how delightful
\nit is for sister Jean. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:18,900 –> 00:00:22,600
\nAnd I to be here this weekend
\namong you, we’ve already <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:22,600 –> 00:00:26,400
\nrekindled some old relationships
\nthat have had faded somewhat <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:26,400 –> 00:00:30,700
\ninto the past and when we have
\nthe opportunity to come so far <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:30,700 –> 00:00:34,400
\naway and visit christadelphians,
\nwho are all waiting in these <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:34,400 –> 00:00:36,500
\ndesperate times for the second
\ncoming of Christ. <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:36,800 –> 00:00:42,100
\nTogether, the fellowship, the
\naffinities that we have the <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:42,100 –> 00:00:44,100
\nfeeling of having known, someone
\nall their life. <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:44,100 –> 00:00:48,800
\nWhen you’ve met them just a few
\nminutes, those things are the <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:48,800 –> 00:00:52,600
\nrichest part of life for us.
\nSo we let me assure you. <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:52,600 –> 00:00:56,600
\nWe are very, very glad to be
\nhere on a personal level, but <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:56,600 –> 00:01:00,700
\nbefore we get into our, into the
\nsubstance of our subject today, <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:00,700 –> 00:01:07,400
\nfirst things first, you will see
\na picture up here of my That’s <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:07,400 –> 00:01:09,200
\nwhat I mean by first things
\nfirst. <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:09,300 –> 00:01:13,200
\nYou’re a grandparent you know
\nexactly what I mean the <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:13,300 –> 00:01:17,800
\npreeminence they take in your
\naffections is just over the top,<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:17,800 –> 00:01:23,200
\nisn’t it?
\nThis is Silas and I’m going to <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:23,200 –> 00:01:25,500
\nstart on a lighter note because
\nwe’re going to get into some <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:25,500 –> 00:01:27,500
\nvery sobering and serious
\nthings. <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:27,500 –> 00:01:32,400
\nAnd I just think that this is
\nprobably the best way to start <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:33,100 –> 00:01:36,500
\nthis particular subject because
\nit’s a caricature. <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:38,400 –> 00:01:43,600
\nWhat we experience in reality
\nwhen we grow up and we get <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:43,600 –> 00:01:48,000
\nblindsided by things, we never
\nthought would enter our lives <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:48,000 –> 00:01:52,300
\nand they become severe trials.
\nFor little children, they have <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:52,300 –> 00:01:55,100
\nall the same feelings but
\nthere’s really nothing wrong. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:55,700 –> 00:01:58,900
\nSo this say Silas and I had
\ntaken a walk down to the dock. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:59,600 –> 00:02:05,200
\nIt was a perfect day.
\nSilas was on vacation, I had the<\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:05,208 –> 00:02:08,500
\nday off, it was grandfather and
\nGrandson together. <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:08,800 –> 00:02:12,500
\nIt’s a sunny day, we’re taking a
\nwalk and I don’t know. <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:12,900 –> 00:02:16,400
\nFor some reason, the world as
\nSilas knew it in that moment <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:16,900 –> 00:02:21,700
\ncame to an end.
\nAnd so he didn’t want to finish <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:21,700 –> 00:02:24,100
\nthe walk.
\nWe just got a few houses down <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:24,100 –> 00:02:27,400
\nand he stopped in this yard and
\nhe gets this look and he looks <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:27,400 –> 00:02:31,100
\nat me like freezes in his tracks
\nand you could see his little <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:31,200 –> 00:02:35,900
\nfist is clenched.
\nAnd you can see the Deep anxiety<\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:36,100 –> 00:02:41,000
\nthat is all across his face.
\nThings just weren’t going right <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:41,000 –> 00:02:44,700
\nfor Silas that day and or in
\nthat moment, especially and I <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:44,700 –> 00:02:48,700
\nhad no idea why there was no
\nreason for him to feel bad. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:49,600 –> 00:02:54,100
\nSo I, we never did figure it out
\nbut he had all the feelings of <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:55,300 –> 00:02:59,500
\nthat are concomitant with total
\ndisaster, and he was in a very <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:59,500 –> 00:03:06,300
\nhigh state of dungeon.
\nSo that’s the innocence of <\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:06,300 –> 00:03:10,300
\nYouth, the way little children
\nrespond to the smallest of <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:10,400 –> 00:03:13,300
\nthings and when I was a little
\nboy, this is me when I was about<\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:13,300 –> 00:03:18,100
\neight years old, I really wasn’t
\nasking. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:18,100 –> 00:03:21,000
\nWhy me?
\nLife was pretty good for me, <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:21,000 –> 00:03:23,200
\nthis is the Waterfront.
\nNice to walk down there and bare<\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:23,200 –> 00:03:25,000
\nfeet and love to feel the warm
\nside. <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:25,000 –> 00:03:30,000
\nWalk under my, my feet and fish
\nfor gudgeons off the piers and <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:30,000 –> 00:03:33,500
\ncrab.
\nAnd I had a Relatively perfect <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:33,500 –> 00:03:38,000
\nlife, but I didn’t know when I
\nwas this age, what would happen <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:38,000 –> 00:03:41,800
\nto me when I got older?
\nI didn’t know. <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:42,500 –> 00:03:45,600
\nSo the question had not come up
\nyet but it does for a lot of <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:45,600 –> 00:03:50,700
\npeople, some people at this age
\nor earlier they’ve already begun<\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:50,700 –> 00:03:55,300
\nto say Why me, why did this
\nhappen to me? <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:56,100 –> 00:04:00,500
\nIt’s a very serious question.
\nWhen it’s, it’s accompanied by <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:00,500 –> 00:04:04,900
\nsomething that you never
\nexpected that appears in your <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:04,900 –> 00:04:07,200
\ncontacts to be completely
\nintolerable. <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:09,300 –> 00:04:14,100
\nBut there’s a deeper question
\nstill, and that is why when <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:14,100 –> 00:04:18,100
\neverything goes wrong when we
\nsuffer we can’t explain it. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:20,100 –> 00:04:24,600
\nBut it seems like God’s justice
\nhas been left out of our <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:25,100 –> 00:04:28,600
\ncircumstances.
\nWhen you see other people who <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:28,600 –> 00:04:32,000
\nseem to be the beneficiaries of
\nthe love of God or if they don’t<\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:32,000 –> 00:04:36,100
\nknow God, their beneficiaries of
\nthe goodness of human life and <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:36,100 –> 00:04:39,000
\nfor you all that cave.
\nAnd somehow. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:40,300 –> 00:04:46,100
\nSo it’s that question, you asked
\nwhen all seems to be lost and <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:46,100 –> 00:04:50,400
\nthat is at the heart of what we
\nare going to consider all <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:50,400 –> 00:04:52,800
\nweekend.
\nAs we look at three specific <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:52,800 –> 00:04:59,600
\nexamples and a fourth of people
\nwhose lives took a turn that <\/p>\n
73
\n00:05:00,100 –> 00:05:05,000
\nthey never expected and didn’t
\nseem to have any way out but <\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:05,000 –> 00:05:08,400
\nbad.
\nSo that’s the question, why? <\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:08,400 –> 00:05:12,600
\nAnd interestingly enough, as you
\nknow, those of you who have read<\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:12,600 –> 00:05:15,800
\nyour Bible and applied yourself
\nto what you were reading, you <\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:15,800 –> 00:05:20,900
\nknow, that the Bible addresses,
\nthe question of why in advance <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:20,900 –> 00:05:24,200
\nthere isn’t any question.
\nI believe that we can have that <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:24,200 –> 00:05:26,700
\nhasn’t been somehow or another
\naddressed. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:26,700 –> 00:05:31,600
\nEven the one, is that, that
\nqueries, how come? <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:32,600 –> 00:05:35,100
\nWe don’t understand this
\nparticular condition in the <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:35,100 –> 00:05:36,800
\nworld.
\nIt has Explanation. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:36,800 –> 00:05:40,100
\nIt doesn’t make sense even
\nthough I know the truth. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:40,100 –> 00:05:45,300
\nNow there’s there are questions
\nreserved for the day and isn’t <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:45,300 –> 00:05:49,100
\nthe day the answer to those
\nquestions that reservation we <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:49,100 –> 00:05:54,100
\nknow that that one day even
\nthough we can’t understand <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:54,100 –> 00:05:57,300
\nwhat’s happening.
\nNow there are if not to us <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:57,300 –> 00:06:02,000
\npersonally to other people or in
\nthe world certain conditions, we<\/p>\n
89
\n00:06:02,000 –> 00:06:06,000
\nknow that those answers will be
\naddressed and fully. <\/p>\n
90
\n00:06:06,100 –> 00:06:10,300
\nHe supplied in the Kingdom.
\nSo the kingdom is the answer to <\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:10,300 –> 00:06:12,600
\nall the questions that aren’t
\nanswered right now. <\/p>\n
92
\n00:06:13,000 –> 00:06:15,900
\nSo is that not an answer to
\nthose questions? <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:16,600 –> 00:06:19,500
\nEverything has been dealt with
\nby God’s word, but this <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:19,500 –> 00:06:23,600
\nparticular verse in, Paul’s
\nsecond letter to the Corinthians<\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:24,300 –> 00:06:28,800
\nwhere he says he Comforts Us in
\nall our affliction. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:29,800 –> 00:06:32,900
\nSo that we may be able to
\ncomfort those who are in any <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:32,900 –> 00:06:37,300
\nkind of Affliction.
\nSo there’s the the answer to the<\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:37,300 –> 00:06:38,200
\nquestion.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:40,400 –> 00:06:44,200
\nWhy did this happen to me?
\nWhether you were young or old, <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:44,300 –> 00:06:46,800
\nwhether you’re still in it, or
\nnot, whether it’s somebody you <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:46,800 –> 00:06:51,800
\nlove or yourself or your
\nchildren, your helpless children<\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:51,800 –> 00:06:56,100
\nor your helpless, elderly
\nparents, or those around you? <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:56,500 –> 00:06:59,800
\nWhatever it is if there’s
\nAffliction, the answer to the <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:59,800 –> 00:07:04,800
\nquestion.
\nWhy is so that we who have the <\/p>\n
105
\n00:07:04,800 –> 00:07:10,000
\nunderstanding of God’s mind his
\npurpose, our reason, for being <\/p>\n
106
\n00:07:11,300 –> 00:07:16,800
\nThe consequences of mortality
\nand the consequences of the law <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:16,800 –> 00:07:19,400
\nSpirit of Life, operating in our
\nlives. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:20,300 –> 00:07:24,700
\nSo that we may be able to
\ncomfort those who are any in any<\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:24,700 –> 00:07:27,200
\nkind of Affliction through the
\nComfort. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:27,200 –> 00:07:30,600
\nWe ourselves receive from God.
\nThat’s the answer to the <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:30,600 –> 00:07:32,200
\nquestion.
\nWhy or why me? <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:35,000 –> 00:07:38,100
\nSo just a little background on
\nwhat we will be addressing in <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:38,108 –> 00:07:41,200
\nthis series.
\nIt was six years in the making <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:41,300 –> 00:07:45,100
\nin some respects, much longer
\nthan that in other respects. <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:45,900 –> 00:07:50,700
\nFor example, when I said of me
\nas a child, I didn’t really know<\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:50,700 –> 00:07:53,600
\nwhen life was good as a child.
\nWhat would happen to me when I <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:53,600 –> 00:07:59,600
\ngot older, when I was a newlywed
\nand working very hard physically<\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:59,600 –> 00:08:04,000
\nto sustain my marriage and my
\nfirstborn child? <\/p>\n
119
\n00:08:05,400 –> 00:08:09,600
\nI got a really severe back
\ninjury and that back injury was <\/p>\n
120
\n00:08:09,600 –> 00:08:14,200
\nto create pain in my life for
\nthe next 33 years. <\/p>\n
121
\n00:08:14,200 –> 00:08:17,800
\nIt’s still residual in me, not
\nquite as bad as it has been on <\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:17,800 –> 00:08:20,500
\noccasion.
\nIt’s up and down, but I’ve spent<\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:20,500 –> 00:08:24,200
\n33 years in, chronic pain and
\nit’s just my pain. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:24,200 –> 00:08:26,800
\nI don’t think it’s as bad as
\nmaybe some other people’s pain <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:26,800 –> 00:08:30,100
\nin the world has been bad enough
\nto feel like it ruined a good <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:30,100 –> 00:08:33,900
\nportion of my life, that one
\nenough out of the last 30 years.<\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:34,000 –> 00:08:37,299
\nEars, I had chronic headaches
\nand those headaches were so <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:37,299 –> 00:08:39,700
\nchronic.
\nAnd so pervasive, in my life, as<\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:39,700 –> 00:08:44,100
\nto basically nullify and ruin 10
\nyears of the last Thirty, thirty<\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:44,100 –> 00:08:46,000
\npercent of that, time was ruined
\nwith that X. <\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:46,900 –> 00:08:51,700
\nAnd in all that, you know, II
\nmight have asked why me, but for<\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:51,700 –> 00:08:54,400
\nthe fact that I was raised by
\ntwo parents who told me about <\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:54,400 –> 00:08:57,500
\nthe Kingdom from the time, I was
\ndandled on their knees. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:58,000 –> 00:09:02,500
\nAnd so, I had a very clear
\nunderstanding that, this, the <\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:02,500 –> 00:09:06,100
\nthings that we suffer from, Even
\nthough they affect us, deeply on<\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:06,100 –> 00:09:09,300
\na personal level level are not
\nreally about us. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:09,300 –> 00:09:16,400
\nThe World At Large is, is very
\nold and full of suffering, <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:16,400 –> 00:09:19,400
\ngroaning and travel together.
\nEven until now, and that <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:19,400 –> 00:09:24,100
\ncondition is the larger question
\nthat the mind of God addressed <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:24,100 –> 00:09:27,400
\nfrom the foundation of the
\nworld, in the hope that he said <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:27,400 –> 00:09:31,800
\nbefore men.
\nBut the in the more local sense <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:31,800 –> 00:09:36,500
\nto the subject, the series was
\nIn the making because things <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:36,500 –> 00:09:39,600
\ncame into our conditions, came
\ninto the lives of, in <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:39,600 –> 00:09:43,200
\nparticular, three of the
\nsisters, in our khaleja, which <\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:43,200 –> 00:09:47,600
\nwere so severe, and we got so
\ndeeply involved with that <\/p>\n
146
\n00:09:47,600 –> 00:09:51,700
\nvicariously.
\nWe went into their trouble and <\/p>\n
147
\n00:09:51,900 –> 00:09:55,000
\nthey were three very distinct
\nareas of suffering. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:09:55,000 –> 00:09:58,000
\nThat on one hand, on the
\narranging board. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:09:58,300 –> 00:10:03,300
\nWe had to manage from that level
\nas an elder in the Ecclesia had <\/p>\n
150
\n00:10:03,300 –> 00:10:05,500
\nto manage from that.
\nAt level being the husband of my<\/p>\n
151
\n00:10:05,500 –> 00:10:09,600
\nwife, who was a very nurturing
\nsister to these three sisters. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:10:10,000 –> 00:10:12,900
\nI had contact with the suffering
\non that level. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:13,200 –> 00:10:16,600
\nI was also very close to all
\nthree of them in different ways,<\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:16,600 –> 00:10:21,600
\nvery different ways.
\nAnd so in all of that, when you <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:21,600 –> 00:10:28,200
\nshare the tears, you You you
\nvicariously suffer from the <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:28,200 –> 00:10:31,000
\npain, you ask all the questions
\nthat suffering. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:31,000 –> 00:10:36,000
\nPeople ask you learn that the
\nfeeling most people have in such<\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:36,000 –> 00:10:40,300
\nsevere conditions is one of
\nisolation from the rest of the <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:40,300 –> 00:10:44,000
\nworld where although in the
\nabstract they know their people <\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:44,000 –> 00:10:46,500
\nare suffering like they are but
\ntheir suffering is. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:47,000 –> 00:10:49,800
\nThey are isolated in their own
\nsuffering to such an extent that<\/p>\n
162
\n00:10:49,800 –> 00:10:54,100
\nthey feel alone and these are
\nall very real feelings. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:10:54,100 –> 00:10:56,100
\nWe all know people who Going
\nthrough them. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:10:56,100 –> 00:10:59,900
\nI think some of you here have
\nconditions in your lives that <\/p>\n
165
\n00:10:59,900 –> 00:11:02,900
\nyou are suffering from where you
\nfeel like you are suffering in <\/p>\n
166
\n00:11:02,900 –> 00:11:05,900
\nsilence alone where nobody
\nreally understands. <\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:05,900 –> 00:11:11,300
\nAnd in most cases how does
\nanyone understand what everyone <\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:11,900 –> 00:11:18,100
\nelse around them doesn’t see how
\ncould, how could anyone <\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:18,100 –> 00:11:20,400
\nunderstand how I felt for the
\nlast 33 years? <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:20,400 –> 00:11:24,100
\nHow could I understand how you
\nfelt when you go on the web gone<\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:24,100 –> 00:11:28,000
\nthrough your trials?
\nSo in that, the Wonder the <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:28,000 –> 00:11:36,100
\nMajesty, the royalty.
\nThe Depth and richness of the <\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:36,100 –> 00:11:39,000
\nDeliverance of God’s plan for
\nus. <\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:40,200 –> 00:11:44,400
\nComes into such sharp focus, in
\ncontrast to the Affliction that <\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:44,400 –> 00:11:47,000
\nwe bear.
\nThat it takes its full. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:11:47,000 –> 00:11:52,500
\nMeaning almost only as a
\ncontrasting promise to what we <\/p>\n
177
\n00:11:52,500 –> 00:11:56,900
\nare forced to endure in the
\nmortality and Frailty of our <\/p>\n
178
\n00:11:56,900 –> 00:12:00,000
\nlives.
\nAnd so it was obvious to me, and<\/p>\n
179
\n00:12:00,000 –> 00:12:03,400
\nthese are the various subjects,
\nthat will be be speaking about <\/p>\n
180
\n00:12:04,000 –> 00:12:05,300
\nbetween now and tomorrow
\nmorning. <\/p>\n
181
\n00:12:06,400 –> 00:12:12,800
\nThat when you are experiencing
\nsickness of the kind, that is <\/p>\n
182
\n00:12:12,800 –> 00:12:17,400
\nreally, really bad.
\nThe recovery of the kingdom is <\/p>\n
183
\n00:12:17,400 –> 00:12:20,200
\nthe most marvelous thing to
\ndwell in. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:12:20,500 –> 00:12:25,200
\nIt’s a place where you can go
\nand stand on such wonderfully, <\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:25,200 –> 00:12:30,900
\nHoly Ground, it doesn’t take
\ncare of the problem, but it <\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:30,900 –> 00:12:36,000
\ncertainly is a way of managing
\nthe problem. <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:36,000 –> 00:12:40,000
\nAnd when there is Extreme loss
\nloss of a loved one in from a <\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:40,000 –> 00:12:44,400
\ndeath, an untimely death.
\nThe retrieval of that <\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:44,400 –> 00:12:48,100
\nindividual, that that loved one
\nthat child, as it is, in this <\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:48,100 –> 00:12:52,600
\ncase, in the Kingdom becomes all
\nthe more real, and you’ll notice<\/p>\n
191
\n00:12:52,600 –> 00:12:55,800
\nas we go through the scriptures
\nthat are relevant to each of <\/p>\n
192
\n00:12:55,800 –> 00:12:57,600
\nthese different kinds of
\nsuffering, that we’ll be looking<\/p>\n
193
\n00:12:57,600 –> 00:13:02,500
\nat that, these scriptures on one
\nhand or something. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:13:02,500 –> 00:13:04,900
\nYou might have read in the
\nreadings, they might have. <\/p>\n
195
\n00:13:05,200 –> 00:13:10,000
\nSomething to you at one point in
\na talk or when you had a some <\/p>\n
196
\n00:13:10,000 –> 00:13:14,900
\nkind of realization somewhere
\ndriving down the road or in the <\/p>\n
197
\n00:13:14,900 –> 00:13:18,800
\nmiddle of a prayer.
\nBut when you are in the depths <\/p>\n
198
\n00:13:19,000 –> 00:13:23,000
\nof of an extreme situation in
\nits particulars and then you <\/p>\n
199
\n00:13:23,000 –> 00:13:27,600
\nlook at the same verse again,
\nthe verse comes to life. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:13:28,700 –> 00:13:32,900
\nAnd it seems to somehow speak in
\na way it never did before you <\/p>\n
201
\n00:13:32,900 –> 00:13:36,200
\nsee things, you see.
\nGod was there all the while <\/p>\n
202
\n00:13:36,200 –> 00:13:41,700
\nunderstanding what you would go
\nthrough and addressing it in in <\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:41,700 –> 00:13:47,600
\nthe in the most intimate and and
\nloving and kind and fatherly <\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:48,000 –> 00:13:52,100
\nmanner.
\nSo that only a living God, only <\/p>\n
205
\n00:13:52,300 –> 00:13:57,300
\nhis Living Word could Supply.
\nWhat is necessary to reach into <\/p>\n
206
\n00:13:57,300 –> 00:14:01,100
\nyour heart and address.
\nThe things that your heart needs<\/p>\n
207
\n00:14:01,100 –> 00:14:05,700
\nto understand only God’s word
\nand God’s love him. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:14:05,700 –> 00:14:11,100
\nSprung himself can do this for
\nus where there’s abuse There’s <\/p>\n
209
\n00:14:11,100 –> 00:14:15,200
\nthe idea of God’s recompense the
\nday of judgment is not only <\/p>\n
210
\n00:14:15,200 –> 00:14:19,000
\nthere to decipher between those
\nwho followed Christ, and those <\/p>\n
211
\n00:14:19,000 –> 00:14:23,100
\nwho didn’t, it’s there on a much
\nlarger level for God to deal <\/p>\n
212
\n00:14:23,100 –> 00:14:25,800
\nwith Satan.
\nHe’s going to bind him but he’s <\/p>\n
213
\n00:14:25,800 –> 00:14:27,700
\ngonna bind him after he judges
\nand good part. <\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:27,700 –> 00:14:30,700
\nWhen on Christ begins his
\njudgments in the world and no <\/p>\n
215
\n00:14:30,700 –> 00:14:34,700
\njudgments will result in a
\nslaying of the Lord being from <\/p>\n
216
\n00:14:34,700 –> 00:14:37,100
\nstrewn from one end of the Earth
\nto the other. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:14:37,300 –> 00:14:41,200
\nSo, severe with his judgments
\nbe, so it’s Fitz. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:14:43,100 –> 00:14:45,700
\nGoodness and severity of God is
\ngoing to be known in that day, <\/p>\n
219
\n00:14:45,700 –> 00:14:47,900
\nin a way that it has never been
\nknown before. <\/p>\n
220
\n00:14:48,800 –> 00:14:52,200
\nAnd when there’s a fence will be
\nspeaking about offenses and <\/p>\n
221
\n00:14:52,200 –> 00:14:57,600
\njudgments.
\nAnd Grudges and criticisms and <\/p>\n
222
\n00:14:57,600 –> 00:15:01,200
\npeople who should love you and
\nyou should love being more like <\/p>\n
223
\n00:15:01,200 –> 00:15:03,100
\nenemies than they are like
\nBrethren. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:15:04,000 –> 00:15:07,300
\nBut the reconciliation that is
\nPromised in the future. <\/p>\n
225
\n00:15:07,300 –> 00:15:11,700
\nWhen we see breaches of all
\nkinds some kinds of make sense <\/p>\n
226
\n00:15:11,700 –> 00:15:14,800
\nto us, sometimes it make no
\nsense, whatever there are <\/p>\n
227
\n00:15:14,808 –> 00:15:18,400
\nbreaches that we experience is a
\ncommunity that in some respects <\/p>\n
228
\n00:15:18,400 –> 00:15:22,500
\nare irrational and another
\nrespects stand in defense of the<\/p>\n
229
\n00:15:22,500 –> 00:15:27,000
\ntruth, resolving.
\nAll these Kinds of things. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:15:27,000 –> 00:15:30,800
\nNow seems to be sometimes
\nirreconcilable. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:15:32,100 –> 00:15:35,000
\nBut we know this, the
\nreconciliation of the kingdom of<\/p>\n
232
\n00:15:35,000 –> 00:15:40,900
\nGod will put everything in its
\norder and bring peace and <\/p>\n
233
\n00:15:40,900 –> 00:15:44,500
\nhappiness, and joy in that
\nreconciliation, that exceeds <\/p>\n
234
\n00:15:44,500 –> 00:15:48,500
\neven the joy of understanding
\nthe Forgiveness that comes to us<\/p>\n
235
\n00:15:48,500 –> 00:15:51,000
\nfrom the crucifixion of Jesus
\nwherein. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:15:51,000 –> 00:15:54,900
\nHe took all our iniquities upon
\nhimself that should put us in a <\/p>\n
237
\n00:15:54,900 –> 00:15:59,300
\nvery, very high state of Joy,
\nthat’s that, but when he comes <\/p>\n
238
\n00:15:59,300 –> 00:16:11,000
\nback and reconciles the whole
\nworld, I’m starving fed. <\/p>\n
239
\n00:16:13,200 –> 00:16:17,400
\nThe sick are healed and all
\nthese little children, these <\/p>\n
240
\n00:16:17,400 –> 00:16:20,000
\nhelpless little children are
\ndancing in the streets. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:16:21,000 –> 00:16:25,000
\nWhen that happens, it’ll be
\nreconciliation from a fence like<\/p>\n
242
\n00:16:25,000 –> 00:16:29,300
\nwe’ve never seen before.
\nAnd then the restoration of the <\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:29,300 –> 00:16:31,300
\nKingdom will deal with all
\nafflictions. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:16:31,300 –> 00:16:35,700
\nSo, Working with these three
\nsisters over three years of <\/p>\n
245
\n00:16:35,700 –> 00:16:40,900
\ntime.
\nKind of it came to my mind. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:16:40,900 –> 00:16:44,100
\nThat there was a premise that
\nformed when I was thinking of <\/p>\n
247
\n00:16:44,100 –> 00:16:46,500
\nfirst doing this for a bible
\nschool, I was thinking. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:16:47,200 –> 00:16:51,800
\nOkay, so I have an opportunity
\nto share some ideas about our <\/p>\n
249
\n00:16:51,800 –> 00:16:55,100
\nfaith with brothers and sisters
\nat a bible school. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:16:55,100 –> 00:17:00,000
\nWhat will I talk about this time
\nand having gone through this, I <\/p>\n
251
\n00:17:00,000 –> 00:17:02,100
\nthought, well, you know, I would
\nprefer to talk about something. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:17:02,100 –> 00:17:05,200
\nI know a lot about and what I
\nknew a lot about at that moment,<\/p>\n
253
\n00:17:05,800 –> 00:17:07,800
\nwas the suffering of these three
\nsisters? <\/p>\n
254
\n00:17:09,099 –> 00:17:12,900
\nSo I realized that they were
\nseparate and distinct three, <\/p>\n
255
\n00:17:13,300 –> 00:17:16,800
\ndistinct forms of suffering.
\nAnd I also having been with them<\/p>\n
256
\n00:17:17,500 –> 00:17:21,599
\nwas able to recognize that.
\nWhat they were suffering from <\/p>\n
257
\n00:17:21,599 –> 00:17:25,400
\nwas not just isolated to them.
\nThere are way too many people in<\/p>\n
258
\n00:17:25,400 –> 00:17:28,400
\nthis world that suffer from the
\nsame thing and that gave me the <\/p>\n
259
\n00:17:28,400 –> 00:17:31,200
\npremise for creating this
\nseries. <\/p>\n
260
\n00:17:31,200 –> 00:17:35,700
\nAnd that time is that there must
\nbe people in the last days, the <\/p>\n
261
\n00:17:35,700 –> 00:17:40,300
\ndark days of this world right
\nnow who are suffering in silence<\/p>\n
262
\n00:17:40,300 –> 00:17:47,600
\nor suffering in open in the open
\nin such a way that is as extreme<\/p>\n
263
\n00:17:47,600 –> 00:17:50,100
\nor more extreme because of the
\nhour. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:17:50,300 –> 00:17:55,900
\nLate hour of this world’s time
\nmore than ever before in <\/p>\n
265
\n00:17:55,900 –> 00:17:57,500
\nhistory.
\nAlthough we know that human <\/p>\n
266
\n00:17:57,500 –> 00:18:00,300
\nsuffering has been consistent
\nfrom the beginning, but the <\/p>\n
267
\n00:18:00,308 –> 00:18:04,400
\npremise is that, if what Paul
\nsaid is true, that our suffering<\/p>\n
268
\n00:18:04,400 –> 00:18:06,200
\nis meant for the comfort of
\nothers. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:18:06,800 –> 00:18:13,100
\nIf I could, could describe their
\nsuffering to you and then put <\/p>\n
270
\n00:18:13,100 –> 00:18:17,200
\nthat suffering in the
\nperspective of God’s purview <\/p>\n
271
\n00:18:17,200 –> 00:18:22,100
\nover us and his Intimacy in our
\nOur lives and his promise of <\/p>\n
272
\n00:18:22,100 –> 00:18:28,400
\nredemption in the future that
\nthose three sisters could a <\/p>\n
273
\n00:18:28,400 –> 00:18:31,200
\ngreat assignment of meaning
\ncould be made to their <\/p>\n
274
\n00:18:31,200 –> 00:18:33,000
\nsuffering.
\nSo I went and asked him. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:18:33,000 –> 00:18:35,900
\nI said, would you mind if I
\nspeak about what you’ve gone <\/p>\n
276
\n00:18:35,900 –> 00:18:39,000
\nthrough two people made, they
\neach gave me their permission in<\/p>\n
277
\n00:18:39,000 –> 00:18:42,100
\ntheir own way.
\nOne of them needs to remain <\/p>\n
278
\n00:18:42,100 –> 00:18:44,900
\nanonymous because the intensity
\nof her circumstances. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:18:46,000 –> 00:18:51,000
\nBut that is the basis of this
\nand you’ll see what I mean when <\/p>\n
280
\n00:18:51,000 –> 00:18:55,000
\nyou take a close, look at
\nsomething, which not only is <\/p>\n
281
\n00:18:55,000 –> 00:18:59,100
\njust particular to that purpose,
\nbut also epitomizes an area of <\/p>\n
282
\n00:18:59,100 –> 00:19:03,400
\nhuman suffering that needs to be
\naddressed by our faith, in the <\/p>\n
283
\n00:19:03,400 –> 00:19:09,800
\ndetails of God’s purpose, then
\nthey these stories take on a <\/p>\n
284
\n00:19:09,800 –> 00:19:13,000
\nvivid character.
\nThat I don’t think happens when <\/p>\n
285
\n00:19:13,000 –> 00:19:15,400
\nwe just speak about these things
\nin the abstract. <\/p>\n
286
\n00:19:16,200 –> 00:19:19,300
\nSo this is our subject and that
\nis its environment. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:19:19,300 –> 00:19:22,100
\nThe subject is confirmed.
\nThe environment is Paradise. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:19:23,000 –> 00:19:25,900
\nWe don’t live in it yet, but
\nthat is the environment of the <\/p>\n
289
\n00:19:25,900 –> 00:19:29,700
\ncomfort of God in Paradise,
\nwhich he has promised for the <\/p>\n
290
\n00:19:29,700 –> 00:19:32,500
\nfuture.
\nIt’s a big subject. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:19:33,100 –> 00:19:36,600
\nIf you look at the different
\nkinds of word that words, that <\/p>\n
292
\n00:19:36,600 –> 00:19:40,300
\nare derived from the roof
\ncomfort, you have comfortable. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:19:40,300 –> 00:19:42,700
\nThat means, one thing you have
\ncomforting. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:19:43,400 –> 00:19:45,900
\nThat’s something else.
\nIt’s all in the context. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:19:46,100 –> 00:19:47,900
\nSufferings you have the
\ncomforter? <\/p>\n
296
\n00:19:48,100 –> 00:19:52,700
\nIt was promised with the Holy
\nAdvent of the Holy Spirit and <\/p>\n
297
\n00:19:52,700 –> 00:19:59,100
\nthe change in roles that Jesus
\nmade from suffering savior to a <\/p>\n
298
\n00:19:59,100 –> 00:20:06,100
\nrighteous Everlasting high
\npriest, you have discomfort and <\/p>\n
299
\n00:20:07,200 –> 00:20:10,500
\nuncomfortable on the negative
\nside of the word Comfort, but <\/p>\n
300
\n00:20:10,500 –> 00:20:14,300
\nall using the same, the same
\nroute idea. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:20:17,100 –> 00:20:19,500
\nLike to raise a question with
\nyou. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:20:21,000 –> 00:20:24,700
\nTwo kinds of ways you can Define
\nComfort, natural, and spirit. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:20:24,700 –> 00:20:27,500
\nAs I Define them here, I’ve got
\nboth definitions up in front of <\/p>\n
304
\n00:20:27,500 –> 00:20:30,600
\nyou.
\nSee if you can in your mind, <\/p>\n
305
\n00:20:31,400 –> 00:20:34,200
\nfind out what the distinction
\nbetween the differentiation is <\/p>\n
306
\n00:20:34,200 –> 00:20:37,200
\nbetween the two, the natural
\nmeaning, that is from a <\/p>\n
307
\n00:20:37,208 –> 00:20:41,100
\ndictionary, is our up, Comfort
\nis ease of grief. <\/p>\n
308
\n00:20:42,500 –> 00:20:46,300
\nImprovement of move through in a
\nbad mood, your comforted your <\/p>\n
309
\n00:20:46,300 –> 00:20:49,400
\nmood gets better, restoration of
\nwell-being. <\/p>\n
310
\n00:20:49,500 –> 00:20:55,800
\nYou, you were ill at ease or ill
\nand comfort came along and your,<\/p>\n
311
\n00:20:56,600 –> 00:21:00,900
\nyour well-being was restored.
\nThat’s the dictionary <\/p>\n
312
\n00:21:00,900 –> 00:21:03,000
\ndefinition.
\nThe concordance definition is <\/p>\n
313
\n00:21:03,008 –> 00:21:06,000
\ninteresting because there’s a
\ndifferentiation, which may not <\/p>\n
314
\n00:21:06,000 –> 00:21:08,300
\nbe obvious at first.
\nBut when we talk about it, you <\/p>\n
315
\n00:21:08,300 –> 00:21:11,800
\nwill, you will see that.
\nIt’s a necessary distinction, <\/p>\n
316
\n00:21:11,800 –> 00:21:15,800
\nand one that come can only be
\naddressed in the context of <\/p>\n
317
\n00:21:15,800 –> 00:21:18,400
\nFaith.
\nThe spiritual meaning is to <\/p>\n
318
\n00:21:18,400 –> 00:21:25,400
\ninvite near As if in prayer you
\ninvite God to be near to you or <\/p>\n
319
\n00:21:25,400 –> 00:21:27,900
\nif in prayer he invites you to
\nbe near to him. <\/p>\n
320
\n00:21:29,500 –> 00:21:36,500
\nAn appeal for consolation.
\nOr to entry exhortation to pray.<\/p>\n
321
\n00:21:37,900 –> 00:21:41,000
\nYou see the difference?
\nPoint it out to you. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:21:41,900 –> 00:21:44,500
\nSpiritual comfort is not
\nimmediate relief in the <\/p>\n
323
\n00:21:44,500 –> 00:21:49,900
\ndefinition, in each case, what
\nwas the source of the discomfort<\/p>\n
324
\n00:21:50,000 –> 00:21:52,400
\nis addressed, and comfort is the
\nresult. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:21:53,500 –> 00:21:57,800
\nBut the comfort in the
\nconcordance comes to comes from <\/p>\n
326
\n00:21:57,800 –> 00:22:02,200
\na direct nearness with God.
\nAn intimate understanding that <\/p>\n
327
\n00:22:02,200 –> 00:22:06,000
\nexists between you and God in
\nyour faith, where something in <\/p>\n
328
\n00:22:06,000 –> 00:22:10,200
\nhis word has reached into your
\ndiscomfort and addresses it but <\/p>\n
329
\n00:22:10,200 –> 00:22:13,200
\ndoes not relieve it.
\nSo you cannot say that spiritual<\/p>\n
330
\n00:22:13,200 –> 00:22:18,300
\ncomfort is immediate relief.
\nIt isn’t Any more than it was <\/p>\n
331
\n00:22:18,300 –> 00:22:21,000
\nthe immediate relief of Christ.
\nWhen he was facing his <\/p>\n
332
\n00:22:21,000 –> 00:22:24,900
\ncrucifixion, he was comforted,
\nbut didn’t take the cross away, <\/p>\n
333
\n00:22:24,900 –> 00:22:28,000
\ndid he?
\nIf you look at the stories of <\/p>\n
334
\n00:22:28,000 –> 00:22:31,700
\nAffliction and comfort in the
\nBible, immediate relief is not <\/p>\n
335
\n00:22:31,700 –> 00:22:37,400
\nsomething that is, Necessarily
\nfound in fact frequently not <\/p>\n
336
\n00:22:37,400 –> 00:22:43,500
\nfound in the sufferings instead.
\nSpiritual comfort is strength. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:22:45,100 –> 00:22:47,800
\nStrength.
\nFrom Hope. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:22:50,000 –> 00:22:52,400
\nThe country is something that
\naddresses. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:22:52,400 –> 00:22:57,200
\nOur our disposition while we are
\nsuffering is a very important <\/p>\n
340
\n00:22:57,200 –> 00:23:01,300
\nprinciple to understand as we as
\nwe head into this subject. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:23:02,600 –> 00:23:07,000
\nPaul, the theme came from Paul’s
\nsecond letter to the Corinthians<\/p>\n
342
\n00:23:07,000 –> 00:23:10,100
\nin the first chapter.
\nIn the first few verses there. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:23:10,700 –> 00:23:17,500
\nHe says this after he made them
\nsorrowful from his first letter <\/p>\n
344
\n00:23:17,800 –> 00:23:21,700
\nand he did that by saying well
\nconcerning your schisms got to <\/p>\n
345
\n00:23:21,708 –> 00:23:23,200
\ndo with this concerning the
\nimmoral man. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:23:23,200 –> 00:23:27,100
\nYou have to do this concerning
\nour traditions and and head <\/p>\n
347
\n00:23:27,100 –> 00:23:29,100
\ncoverings you have to do this
\nand concerning the breaking of <\/p>\n
348
\n00:23:29,100 –> 00:23:31,100
\nbread.
\nWell, I hear that you’re doing <\/p>\n
349
\n00:23:31,100 –> 00:23:34,600
\nthis but but Let’s look at it
\nthis way and one thing point <\/p>\n
350
\n00:23:34,600 –> 00:23:38,800
\nafter another, he made them
\nsorrowful and he knew that he <\/p>\n
351
\n00:23:38,800 –> 00:23:41,500
\nwas and and he said, I didn’t
\nwant to make you uncomfortable, <\/p>\n
352
\n00:23:41,500 –> 00:23:47,900
\nbut he knew that the discomfort
\nwould bring joy and comfort in <\/p>\n
353
\n00:23:47,900 –> 00:23:50,000
\nthe realizations and the
\nunderstanding that he was going <\/p>\n
354
\n00:23:50,000 –> 00:23:53,300
\nto provide and his descriptions
\nof things. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:23:53,300 –> 00:23:57,100
\nAnd so the second letter is
\nstarts with this this <\/p>\n
356
\n00:23:57,100 –> 00:24:01,200
\noverwhelming appeal to comfort.
\nWe’re having made them sorrowful<\/p>\n
357
\n00:24:01,200 –> 00:24:03,500
\nnow.
\nHe’s To see if he can make their<\/p>\n
358
\n00:24:03,500 –> 00:24:07,200
\ncomfort, his comfort to them.
\nClear, though, he says blessed <\/p>\n
359
\n00:24:07,400 –> 00:24:08,800
\nbe the God and father of our
\nLord. <\/p>\n
360
\n00:24:08,800 –> 00:24:10,800
\nJesus Christ.
\nThe father of Mercies. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:24:12,100 –> 00:24:15,400
\nAnd the God of all comfort.
\nAnd if you read that for what it<\/p>\n
362
\n00:24:15,400 –> 00:24:19,700
\nsays, it says that all comfort
\nhas to address all affliction. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:24:20,900 –> 00:24:23,100
\nDoesn’t it if he’s a God of All
\nComfort, he has to that. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:24:23,100 –> 00:24:25,900
\nComfort has to handle anything,
\nwhatever comes up. <\/p>\n
365
\n00:24:26,700 –> 00:24:29,200
\nIt could be mental, could be
\nphysical, could be imposed on, <\/p>\n
366
\n00:24:29,200 –> 00:24:31,400
\nyou could be in, you could
\nimpose it, on yourself, whatever<\/p>\n
367
\n00:24:31,400 –> 00:24:32,900
\nit is, could be just
\ncircumstances. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:24:32,900 –> 00:24:36,700
\nSomething like I said, that
\nblindsides you and you never <\/p>\n
369
\n00:24:36,700 –> 00:24:39,400
\nthought that would be your life.
\nAnd in a moment, your whole life<\/p>\n
370
\n00:24:39,400 –> 00:24:42,500
\nchanges, if he’s the God of All
\nComfort, it has to address all <\/p>\n
371
\n00:24:42,500 –> 00:24:44,300
\nafflictions.
\nHe goes on to say, who comforts <\/p>\n
372
\n00:24:44,300 –> 00:24:49,600
\nUs in all our affliction, So
\nthat we may be able to comfort <\/p>\n
373
\n00:24:49,600 –> 00:24:53,400
\nthose who are in any Affliction
\nthat again is the reason for it <\/p>\n
374
\n00:24:54,100 –> 00:24:57,600
\nwith the comfort with which we
\nourselves are comforted by God. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:24:58,300 –> 00:25:00,400
\nIf there’s no Comfort coming
\nfrom God, then there’s no real <\/p>\n
376
\n00:25:00,400 –> 00:25:04,300
\nComfort coming in Affliction
\nexcept perhaps for the kind that<\/p>\n
377
\n00:25:04,400 –> 00:25:08,200
\nmitigates, you know, are
\nsuffering from the human touch <\/p>\n
378
\n00:25:08,200 –> 00:25:13,400
\nor medicine and or, you know, a
\nlittle, a little brief respite <\/p>\n
379
\n00:25:13,400 –> 00:25:16,400
\nfrom from horrible, trial
\nwhatever. <\/p>\n
380
\n00:25:16,900 –> 00:25:20,100
\nBut if it’s comfort that Comes
\nfrom God, it is pervasive. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:25:20,200 –> 00:25:23,700
\nIt is able to handle every
\naspect of the suffering for as <\/p>\n
382
\n00:25:23,700 –> 00:25:25,600
\nwe share abundantly in Christ’s
\nsufferings. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:25:26,100 –> 00:25:28,700
\nSo through Christ we share
\nabundantly and comfort too. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:25:29,900 –> 00:25:32,700
\nIf we are afflicted, it is for
\nyour comfort and salvation. <\/p>\n
385
\n00:25:32,700 –> 00:25:35,800
\nSo, Paul’s now thinking of his
\nlife and the things that happen <\/p>\n
386
\n00:25:35,800 –> 00:25:38,500
\nto him, he gone to a city, he’d
\ngo to a synagogue, they beat him<\/p>\n
387
\n00:25:38,500 –> 00:25:42,700
\nup or he may be Shipwrecked to
\nbe in standing water out in the <\/p>\n
388
\n00:25:42,700 –> 00:25:47,300
\nocean for a day and a night and
\nall these things were happening <\/p>\n
389
\n00:25:47,300 –> 00:25:51,400
\nto be bu T be bitten by snakes
\nand beaten with whips. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:25:51,800 –> 00:25:55,000
\nSo he’s saying, well, if we’re
\nAfflicted, it’s for your comfort<\/p>\n
391
\n00:25:55,000 –> 00:25:57,400
\nand salvation.
\nSo what we’re going to talk <\/p>\n
392
\n00:25:57,400 –> 00:26:02,600
\nabout this this weekend, how
\nthat works if that’s true, if <\/p>\n
393
\n00:26:02,600 –> 00:26:09,100
\nit’s by Affliction that someone
\noffers Comfort to you, What <\/p>\n
394
\n00:26:09,100 –> 00:26:12,300
\nexactly happens in that
\nexchange, it doesn’t happen the <\/p>\n
395
\n00:26:12,300 –> 00:26:15,300
\nsame, he’s just reminding them
\nbecause he would go on to <\/p>\n
396
\n00:26:15,300 –> 00:26:17,700
\nexplain that in the whole depth
\nof his letter. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:26:18,500 –> 00:26:21,000
\nHe says, if we are afflicted as
\nfor your comfort and salvation, <\/p>\n
398
\n00:26:21,000 –> 00:26:24,100
\nif we are comforted is for your
\ncomfort zone, whether it not it,<\/p>\n
399
\n00:26:24,100 –> 00:26:26,500
\ncame from Affliction, or for
\nComfort, he’s saying, whatever <\/p>\n
400
\n00:26:26,500 –> 00:26:29,900
\nit comes to you from us, it’s
\nfor your comfort. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:26:29,900 –> 00:26:33,500
\nIn other words, I love you.
\nI could say this to you today. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:26:33,500 –> 00:26:36,600
\nThis is why I’m speaking about
\nthis subject because I love you <\/p>\n
403
\n00:26:36,800 –> 00:26:39,600
\nand I know you’re suffering.
\nAnd if you’re not suffering <\/p>\n
404
\n00:26:39,600 –> 00:26:43,100
\npersonally, you will suffer.
\nAnd if you haven’t suffered yet,<\/p>\n
405
\n00:26:43,300 –> 00:26:46,000
\nyou know somebody who’s
\nsuffering, or you’ve been around<\/p>\n
406
\n00:26:46,000 –> 00:26:48,600
\nsomebody who’s Suffering The
\nSuffering, this is enough <\/p>\n
407
\n00:26:48,600 –> 00:26:52,300
\nsuffering in this world for us,
\nall to be intimately, connected <\/p>\n
408
\n00:26:52,300 –> 00:26:55,800
\nto it.
\nAnd what Paul is trying to get <\/p>\n
409
\n00:26:55,800 –> 00:26:58,100
\nacross the Corinthian.
\nEcclesia is I made. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:26:58,100 –> 00:27:01,700
\nI know I made you sorry.
\nBut we have a mission of <\/p>\n
411
\n00:27:01,700 –> 00:27:06,000
\nrighteousness, we have a mission
\nof reconciliation, and it’s <\/p>\n
412
\n00:27:06,000 –> 00:27:08,700
\ndifferent from, from this
\nmission of death, that the law <\/p>\n
413
\n00:27:08,700 –> 00:27:11,400
\nput on us, all made us miserable
\nin the understanding of our <\/p>\n
414
\n00:27:11,400 –> 00:27:13,300
\nsins.
\nThis mission is one of <\/p>\n
415
\n00:27:13,300 –> 00:27:16,500
\nrighteousness and joy and peace
\nand so when I come however I <\/p>\n
416
\n00:27:16,500 –> 00:27:21,100
\ncome to you, I come to you with
\na tremendous amount of personal <\/p>\n
417
\n00:27:21,100 –> 00:27:23,900
\nlove for you, whatever it was.
\nIf it’s from my comforter from <\/p>\n
418
\n00:27:23,900 –> 00:27:28,000
\nmy Affliction, it’s meant for
\nyour comfort and that that is <\/p>\n
419
\n00:27:28,000 –> 00:27:30,300
\nthe basis of this series.
\nIt is mint. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:27:30,600 –> 00:27:33,100
\nFor your comfort and it will
\nwork in that regard. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:27:33,600 –> 00:27:37,900
\nOnce we start sharing the
\nparticulars of the afflictions <\/p>\n
422
\n00:27:37,900 –> 00:27:44,300
\nand the way Faith Works in their
\ncontext, So he says when which <\/p>\n
423
\n00:27:44,300 –> 00:27:47,400
\nyou it is for your comfort,
\nwhich you experience when you <\/p>\n
424
\n00:27:47,400 –> 00:27:50,400
\npatiently endure, the same
\nsufferings that we suffer. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:27:51,000 –> 00:27:55,200
\nI hope for you is unshakable.
\nWe know that as you share in our<\/p>\n
426
\n00:27:55,200 –> 00:27:58,300
\nsufferings you will also share
\nand comfort. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:27:58,300 –> 00:28:03,300
\nSo there is this interesting
\nstatement of context if you look<\/p>\n
428
\n00:28:03,300 –> 00:28:07,500
\nat his message and you take
\neverything out except his his <\/p>\n
429
\n00:28:07,500 –> 00:28:11,100
\nuse of the word comfort.
\nYou can see this is his point <\/p>\n
430
\n00:28:11,700 –> 00:28:14,400
\nwhatever he says.
\nIn the second letter. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:28:15,500 –> 00:28:20,000
\nIs meant to describe the
\nfullness of what he speaking <\/p>\n
432
\n00:28:20,000 –> 00:28:21,600
\nabout.
\nWhen he speaks about spiritual <\/p>\n
433
\n00:28:21,600 –> 00:28:26,100
\ncomfort and it’s in the context
\nof Affliction see how many times<\/p>\n
434
\n00:28:26,100 –> 00:28:28,200
\nhe speaks.
\nHe uses the word sufferings and <\/p>\n
435
\n00:28:28,200 –> 00:28:34,700
\naffliction because the two are
\ninexorably joined we have the <\/p>\n
436
\n00:28:34,708 –> 00:28:38,600
\nAffliction and the comfort is an
\nessential part of managing that <\/p>\n
437
\n00:28:38,600 –> 00:28:42,800
\nAffliction so that’s what we’re
\ngoing to look at how these three<\/p>\n
438
\n00:28:42,800 –> 00:28:47,800
\nsisters manage their affliction.
\nDon’t like this one point before<\/p>\n
439
\n00:28:47,800 –> 00:28:51,500
\nwe start looking at their their
\nparticular circumstances, the <\/p>\n
440
\n00:28:51,500 –> 00:28:56,400
\ntime to respond to Affliction is
\nbefore it occurs. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:28:57,100 –> 00:29:00,300
\nIf you’re young and you’re kind
\nof going, I know. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:29:00,300 –> 00:29:03,600
\nYeah, well, okay, still abstract
\nyou have really been through it <\/p>\n
443
\n00:29:03,600 –> 00:29:08,100
\nyet maybe you have, I don’t know
\nbut you will As a matter of <\/p>\n
444
\n00:29:08,108 –> 00:29:11,100
\nfact, that’s what the truth is
\nfor, because the big question <\/p>\n
445
\n00:29:11,100 –> 00:29:13,200
\nyou should always ask yourself
\nwhen you think, should I be, if <\/p>\n
446
\n00:29:13,200 –> 00:29:15,400
\nyou’re not, baptized, you are,
\nthen, you know what I’m saying, <\/p>\n
447
\n00:29:15,400 –> 00:29:17,400
\nbut you’ve already answered this
\nquestion. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:29:17,400 –> 00:29:22,100
\nBut if you’re not, the big
\nquestion is, well, will the job <\/p>\n
449
\n00:29:22,100 –> 00:29:24,400
\nI get?
\nWill this person? <\/p>\n
450
\n00:29:24,400 –> 00:29:27,000
\nI marry.
\nThat is one of my, the love of <\/p>\n
451
\n00:29:27,000 –> 00:29:31,400
\nmy life will satisfying.
\nAll my greatest interest in life<\/p>\n
452
\n00:29:32,500 –> 00:29:35,100
\nwill be coming.
\nWho I’m meant to be in this <\/p>\n
453
\n00:29:35,100 –> 00:29:37,300
\nworld with my talents and skills
\nand mine. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:29:37,600 –> 00:29:40,900
\nActual abilities.
\nWell, that here’s the question. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:29:41,700 –> 00:29:43,700
\nWell, that deliver me in the day
\nof trouble. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:29:45,600 –> 00:29:48,800
\nWhen the day my day of Calamity
\ncomes will any of those things <\/p>\n
457
\n00:29:49,000 –> 00:29:52,600
\ndeliver me?
\nIs what you want a secure in <\/p>\n
458
\n00:29:52,600 –> 00:29:57,000
\nyour youth.
\nIs what will deliver you in the <\/p>\n
459
\n00:29:57,000 –> 00:30:00,900
\nday of your Calamity and that’s
\nbecause there will be a day of <\/p>\n
460
\n00:30:00,900 –> 00:30:05,300
\nCalamity for every one of us.
\nAnd if it isn’t somewhere in the<\/p>\n
461
\n00:30:05,300 –> 00:30:09,200
\nmiddle of Life interrupting
\nLife, As We Knew It, it will be <\/p>\n
462
\n00:30:09,200 –> 00:30:12,800
\nat the end of life.
\nWhen a Calamity, the Calamity of<\/p>\n
463
\n00:30:12,800 –> 00:30:16,100
\nour age.
\nWeakens us to the point where we<\/p>\n
464
\n00:30:16,100 –> 00:30:20,100
\ndie in pain, I didn’t know this.
\nUntil I was with my mother and <\/p>\n
465
\n00:30:20,100 –> 00:30:23,300
\nlast few days of her life, she
\nshe lived in our home and so we <\/p>\n
466
\n00:30:23,300 –> 00:30:26,500
\nwere with her.
\nConstantly in her dying days. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:30:27,100 –> 00:30:29,000
\nI didn’t know how painful it was
\nto die. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:30:30,800 –> 00:30:33,400
\nIt’s not always painful.
\nMy father died suddenly so he <\/p>\n
469
\n00:30:33,400 –> 00:30:36,600
\ndidn’t experience that level of
\npain but if you died a slow way,<\/p>\n
470
\n00:30:37,200 –> 00:30:40,600
\nis very painful.
\nSo what had my mother done for <\/p>\n
471
\n00:30:40,600 –> 00:30:44,900
\nexample to deal with her
\nsuffering before it occur to <\/p>\n
472
\n00:30:44,900 –> 00:30:48,700
\ndeal with the Calamity of her
\nage, she was 95 when she died <\/p>\n
473
\n00:30:49,100 –> 00:30:50,800
\nvery weak and very
\nuncomfortable. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:30:51,700 –> 00:30:55,100
\nWhat am I father?
\nDone to deal with his Calamity <\/p>\n
475
\n00:30:55,100 –> 00:30:58,600
\nbefore it occurred.
\nIf you’re young, if you’re in <\/p>\n
476
\n00:30:58,600 –> 00:31:03,500
\nyour middle years or even if
\nyou’re getting on advanced in <\/p>\n
477
\n00:31:03,500 –> 00:31:10,400
\nyour years, the thing that deals
\nwith with trouble before it <\/p>\n
478
\n00:31:10,400 –> 00:31:14,200
\noccurs is what God’s word puts
\ninto our hearts. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:31:15,100 –> 00:31:17,700
\nThat provides the strength in
\ntime of need. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:31:19,600 –> 00:31:22,600
\nThis is why the psalmist said in
\nthe multitude of my thoughts <\/p>\n
481
\n00:31:22,600 –> 00:31:26,000
\nWithin Me by Comforts Delight.
\nMy soul. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:31:26,500 –> 00:31:28,400
\nThose Comforts come from
\nthoughts. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:31:29,300 –> 00:31:31,600
\nAnd unless you lose your mind,
\nthose thoughts will be present <\/p>\n
484
\n00:31:31,600 –> 00:31:34,200
\nwith you, in whatever state that
\nyou find yourself in plenty or <\/p>\n
485
\n00:31:34,200 –> 00:31:38,900
\nin want in happy, the happiness
\nof health or in the misery of <\/p>\n
486
\n00:31:39,500 –> 00:31:44,300
\ntribulation.
\nAnd then he also said, this is <\/p>\n
487
\n00:31:44,300 –> 00:31:47,000
\nmy comfort in my Affliction, for
\nThy word. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:31:47,000 –> 00:31:48,900
\nHath quickened me.
\nHow does that? <\/p>\n
489
\n00:31:48,900 –> 00:31:52,400
\nHow can that word come in?
\nIf it hasn’t been already put <\/p>\n
490
\n00:31:52,400 –> 00:31:55,100
\nthere.
\nSo some people are able to <\/p>\n
491
\n00:31:55,100 –> 00:31:59,300
\nmanage the the input during
\ntheir suffering, but the best <\/p>\n
492
\n00:31:59,300 –> 00:32:03,400
\ntime to plant, all those seeds
\nof seeds of strength and <\/p>\n
493
\n00:32:03,400 –> 00:32:08,600
\nendurance and hope in your mind
\nis before the suffering occurs. <\/p>\n
494
\n00:32:09,900 –> 00:32:14,600
\nSo we’re going to turn to this,
\nthe focus of this part of our <\/p>\n
495
\n00:32:14,600 –> 00:32:18,200
\nseries sickness.
\nAnd for that, we’re going to <\/p>\n
496
\n00:32:18,200 –> 00:32:23,700
\nlook at the amazing part.
\nOf sister Dawn, you Zack? <\/p>\n
497
\n00:32:25,900 –> 00:32:28,400
\nShe found the truth on her
\ncomputer. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:32:30,100 –> 00:32:33,300
\nShe was always puzzled why
\nreligion made no no sense. <\/p>\n
499
\n00:32:33,300 –> 00:32:36,700
\nAs most people are when they
\nwhen they are driven to the <\/p>\n
500
\n00:32:36,700 –> 00:32:40,500
\ntruth.
\nAnd the gratification that she <\/p>\n
501
\n00:32:40,500 –> 00:32:44,800
\nexperienced in understanding,
\nthe truth was just unlike almost<\/p>\n
502
\n00:32:44,800 –> 00:32:48,600
\nanything we had ever seen.
\nAnd I’ve seen it from time to <\/p>\n
503
\n00:32:48,600 –> 00:32:53,700
\ntime.
\nThere’s an unspeakable emotion. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:32:56,900 –> 00:33:00,600
\nThat overwhelms a person when
\nthey realized they were blind, <\/p>\n
505
\n00:33:01,400 –> 00:33:05,600
\njust with their eyes, but to
\nthe, to the future of the world,<\/p>\n
506
\n00:33:05,900 –> 00:33:09,000
\nto the sufferings of humanity,
\nwere totally blind until their <\/p>\n
507
\n00:33:09,000 –> 00:33:13,000
\neyes were opened.
\nAnd they could see I’ve never <\/p>\n
508
\n00:33:13,000 –> 00:33:15,000
\nbeen blind.
\nI don’t know what it’s like to <\/p>\n
509
\n00:33:15,000 –> 00:33:19,100
\nhave my eyes open physically.
\nBut I know what it’s like to see<\/p>\n
510
\n00:33:19,100 –> 00:33:24,700
\nthe future. and that gives me a
\nvery special feeling inside to <\/p>\n
511
\n00:33:24,700 –> 00:33:27,200
\nthis is his sister Dawn, you
\nsecond, I have to tell you a <\/p>\n
512
\n00:33:27,200 –> 00:33:30,400
\nlittle bit about how this, this
\nnext series of pictures, <\/p>\n
513
\n00:33:31,500 –> 00:33:34,300
\nOccurred.
\nI was, I wanted to talk about <\/p>\n
514
\n00:33:34,300 –> 00:33:37,000
\nDawn, I got her permission and I
\ncalled her up and I said, Don, <\/p>\n
515
\n00:33:37,900 –> 00:33:39,500
\ncan I come take a picture of
\nyou? <\/p>\n
516
\n00:33:39,500 –> 00:33:43,300
\nI don’t think it would be right
\nfor me to tell your story <\/p>\n
517
\n00:33:44,400 –> 00:33:47,000
\nwithout people seeing you.
\nI mean, I have a slides it’s <\/p>\n
518
\n00:33:47,000 –> 00:33:48,500
\ngoing to be in the middle of a
\npresentation. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:33:48,600 –> 00:33:51,100
\nI’d like to take a picture.
\nSo she said, sure my life is an <\/p>\n
520
\n00:33:51,100 –> 00:33:54,000
\nopen book on take a picture and
\nyou can show it in public. <\/p>\n
521
\n00:33:54,000 –> 00:33:56,100
\nIt’s all right.
\nSo she dressed herself nicely <\/p>\n
522
\n00:33:56,100 –> 00:33:59,800
\nthat day and we went to see her.
\nShe lived across the Chesapeake <\/p>\n
523
\n00:33:59,800 –> 00:34:02,500
\nBay on Eastern Shore.
\nA couple hours from where we <\/p>\n
524
\n00:34:02,500 –> 00:34:07,100
\nlive.
\nAnd when we went there, And she <\/p>\n
525
\n00:34:07,100 –> 00:34:09,699
\nstarted to tell her story
\nbecause I was also going to <\/p>\n
526
\n00:34:09,707 –> 00:34:13,400
\nrecord her story so that I could
\nget certain parts of it. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:34:13,400 –> 00:34:19,000
\nI noticed that she I had my
\ncamera hanging on my my front of<\/p>\n
528
\n00:34:19,000 –> 00:34:22,600
\nme here and I noticed that her
\nExpressions were following her <\/p>\n
529
\n00:34:22,600 –> 00:34:25,300
\nstory and this was completely
\nunplanned. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:34:25,300 –> 00:34:30,199
\nThis kind of thing, I don’t
\nthink you can plan but I started<\/p>\n
531
\n00:34:30,199 –> 00:34:33,600
\njust taking pictures of her.
\nShe told her story and what you <\/p>\n
532
\n00:34:33,600 –> 00:34:36,800
\nwill see in this are the
\nExpressions that are not Our <\/p>\n
533
\n00:34:36,800 –> 00:34:41,900
\ncaptured in her, in her face and
\nher countenance, that correspond<\/p>\n
534
\n00:34:41,900 –> 00:34:45,300
\nto what she’s saying in her
\ntestimony and it all the more <\/p>\n
535
\n00:34:45,300 –> 00:34:47,900
\nmeaningful.
\nIf the series is, will not only <\/p>\n
536
\n00:34:47,900 –> 00:34:51,500
\nenable you to know Sister Dawn,
\nbut it will give you a better <\/p>\n
537
\n00:34:51,500 –> 00:34:54,600
\nlook at the kind of feelings on
\nthat. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:34:54,600 –> 00:34:58,800
\nCome through Expressions, that
\nlay inside a person’s heart. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:35:00,400 –> 00:35:05,100
\nSo, this section is about
\nsickness and injury and pain. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:35:08,600 –> 00:35:10,600
\nIt’s a testimony.
\nHer personal testimony. <\/p>\n
541
\n00:35:10,600 –> 00:35:15,300
\nWhat she went through when she
\nwas actually sustained in. <\/p>\n
542
\n00:35:15,300 –> 00:35:18,500
\nUnbelievable anguish and you’ll
\nsee what I mean by that. <\/p>\n
543
\n00:35:19,200 –> 00:35:23,300
\nThis is Sister Dawn as she was
\ngathering, her thoughts to tell <\/p>\n
544
\n00:35:23,300 –> 00:35:27,700
\nme her her story, but I’m going
\nto, I’m going to go down a <\/p>\n
545
\n00:35:27,707 –> 00:35:30,400
\nbulleted list of what happened
\nto her and her life so that you <\/p>\n
546
\n00:35:30,400 –> 00:35:34,800
\ncan see how very real, this idea
\nof unbearable. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:35:35,600 –> 00:35:38,500
\nPain was for her.
\nHer mother hated her from the <\/p>\n
548
\n00:35:38,500 –> 00:35:41,200
\nwomb.
\nShe said her birth. <\/p>\n
549
\n00:35:41,200 –> 00:35:43,400
\nShe told her your birth ruined
\nmy life. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:35:44,700 –> 00:35:47,800
\nWhen she was to her mother tried
\nto drown her, she left her. <\/p>\n
551
\n00:35:47,800 –> 00:35:50,300
\nAnd she took her out pushed her,
\nunder the water, and walked back<\/p>\n
552
\n00:35:50,300 –> 00:35:52,800
\nup on the shore, and left her
\nhead out there in her aunt, saw <\/p>\n
553
\n00:35:52,800 –> 00:35:55,600
\nher bobbing in the water.
\nShe was gasping for her breath <\/p>\n
554
\n00:35:55,600 –> 00:35:58,700
\nand mother taken a walk.
\nAnd she went and was saved by <\/p>\n
555
\n00:35:58,700 –> 00:36:04,500
\nher aunt at the age of six.
\nWe’re leaving Uncle began to <\/p>\n
556
\n00:36:04,500 –> 00:36:08,800
\nexploit her.
\nWhen she was 13. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:36:10,000 –> 00:36:13,900
\nShe was abused.
\nBy a taxi driver. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:36:18,700 –> 00:36:21,400
\nShe was on the street and
\npregnant at 17. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:36:22,300 –> 00:36:24,700
\nShe had the child.
\nShe never knew the child, she <\/p>\n
560
\n00:36:24,700 –> 00:36:28,500
\nlost it, and it, and that memory
\nof a lost child. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:36:28,500 –> 00:36:33,200
\nStay with her until we knew her
\nall the way through her whole <\/p>\n
562
\n00:36:33,200 –> 00:36:35,600
\nlife.
\nShe married a man. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:36:35,600 –> 00:36:39,700
\nWho tried to beat her second
\nchild to death in her womb? <\/p>\n
564
\n00:36:41,800 –> 00:36:43,500
\nHe was an abuser over the next
\ndecade. <\/p>\n
565
\n00:36:43,500 –> 00:36:46,600
\nHe broke 12 Bones in her body.
\nShe said she kept having to go <\/p>\n
566
\n00:36:46,600 –> 00:36:49,000
\nto the hospital until one time
\nin the latter. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:36:49,000 –> 00:36:51,400
\nPart of this whole horrible
\ndecade. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:36:52,700 –> 00:36:55,600
\nThey looked at her and she’s
\nalways lying about why she had <\/p>\n
569
\n00:36:55,600 –> 00:36:57,300
\nthese injuries.
\nShe said she would fall and so <\/p>\n
570
\n00:36:57,300 –> 00:37:00,300
\non is basically he was beating
\non her and they looked at her <\/p>\n
571
\n00:37:00,300 –> 00:37:02,800
\nand they said this didn’t happen
\nfor the reason you’re telling us<\/p>\n
572
\n00:37:02,800 –> 00:37:06,300
\nto.
\nAnd so they had sort of a little<\/p>\n
573
\n00:37:06,300 –> 00:37:11,000
\nwake up moment in all of that,
\nabuse at 42, she left him. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:37:11,500 –> 00:37:15,200
\nFound her mother again but she
\nsaid when she went in to see her<\/p>\n
575
\n00:37:15,200 –> 00:37:18,000
\nmother, she beat her to the
\nground and she said, I could <\/p>\n
576
\n00:37:18,000 –> 00:37:22,400
\nhave fought her but she said I
\ncouldn’t fight my mother and so <\/p>\n
577
\n00:37:22,400 –> 00:37:24,200
\nshe just let her beat her to the
\nground. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:37:25,600 –> 00:37:29,400
\nShe met a powerful, man, George
\nwho became her protector? <\/p>\n
579
\n00:37:31,400 –> 00:37:35,100
\nThat’s George.
\nNobody can mess with George. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:37:37,800 –> 00:37:41,600
\nGeorge was beaten by his mother
\nand sister during his early <\/p>\n
581
\n00:37:41,600 –> 00:37:44,300
\nchildhood.
\nHe left home at the age of six. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:37:44,900 –> 00:37:48,100
\nHe went to live with his
\ngrandfather and his grandfather.<\/p>\n
583
\n00:37:48,100 –> 00:37:50,900
\nTurned him into a Rum Runner.
\nAs soon as he could drive in <\/p>\n
584
\n00:37:50,900 –> 00:37:53,200
\nBrownsville Texas, somebody that
\nruns alcohol. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:37:53,200 –> 00:37:57,900
\nIllegally across the border at
\n15 a gang attempted because he <\/p>\n
586
\n00:37:57,900 –> 00:38:01,200
\nwas good at what he did a gang
\nattempted to enlist him to run <\/p>\n
587
\n00:38:01,200 –> 00:38:06,400
\ndrugs.
\nWhen he refused, they said his <\/p>\n
588
\n00:38:06,400 –> 00:38:08,900
\nhouse on fire while he was
\nasleep in it. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:38:10,600 –> 00:38:14,200
\nAnd he was burned in over 80% of
\nhis body from that fire. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:38:14,700 –> 00:38:18,600
\nHe spent a year in a hospital,
\nseven months lying in an oil <\/p>\n
591
\n00:38:18,600 –> 00:38:28,100
\nbath with his eyes sewn shut.
\nHe survived as a powerful. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:38:29,300 –> 00:38:32,300
\nMan.
\nBut as a loner instinctively all<\/p>\n
593
\n00:38:32,300 –> 00:38:35,900
\nhit the while just in his own
\nsimplistic way, seeking God, he <\/p>\n
594
\n00:38:35,900 –> 00:38:39,100
\ncould hardly speak, he doesn’t
\nspeak the English language very <\/p>\n
595
\n00:38:39,100 –> 00:38:44,900
\nwell and I think his parents
\nwere an Indian and Mexican. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:38:46,400 –> 00:38:48,500
\nSo his language is not very
\ngood. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:38:48,600 –> 00:38:50,700
\nHe had no education.
\nI don’t think you think he even <\/p>\n
598
\n00:38:50,700 –> 00:38:54,000
\nwent to school, he did.
\nIt was just in the very early <\/p>\n
599
\n00:38:54,000 –> 00:38:58,300
\nyears of his childhood.
\nAnd on May 13 years ago when <\/p>\n
600
\n00:38:58,300 –> 00:39:00,400
\nthis was I did this two years
\nago. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:39:00,400 –> 00:39:05,300
\nSo be 15 now and we’re married
\nin 2012, they’re baptized in <\/p>\n
602
\n00:39:05,300 –> 00:39:09,100
\n2014.
\nDon had discovered the truth. <\/p>\n
603
\n00:39:09,300 –> 00:39:12,100
\nShe was taking lessons on the
\ninternet internet, with one of <\/p>\n
604
\n00:39:12,100 –> 00:39:16,000
\nour members and we finally had
\nto accelerate those lessons. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:39:16,000 –> 00:39:20,200
\nAnd we started seeing her and
\nthat led to his and her baptism <\/p>\n
606
\n00:39:20,200 –> 00:39:25,700
\nin 2014.
\nSo there’s another side to <\/p>\n
607
\n00:39:25,700 –> 00:39:30,200
\nDawn’s life beside those sparse.
\nDetails of her story. <\/p>\n
608
\n00:39:31,400 –> 00:39:35,100
\nWhy does sister Dawn hurt so bad
\nbecause she couldn’t really come<\/p>\n
609
\n00:39:35,100 –> 00:39:38,500
\nto meeting after.
\nShe was baptized, she was way <\/p>\n
610
\n00:39:38,500 –> 00:39:41,900
\noverweight, every time you went
\nto see her she was in pain, <\/p>\n
611
\n00:39:41,900 –> 00:39:44,500
\npretty serious, pain Relentless
\npain. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:39:44,800 –> 00:39:47,300
\nSo this is the story of her
\nphysical condition. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:39:47,300 –> 00:39:50,800
\nShe was born with a genetic
\nkidney disease called focal <\/p>\n
614
\n00:39:50,800 –> 00:39:54,800
\nsegmental.
\nBrahmos chlorosis, very serious <\/p>\n
615
\n00:39:54,800 –> 00:39:58,200
\ndisease being bipolar.
\nShe was put on lithium which <\/p>\n
616
\n00:39:58,200 –> 00:40:00,700
\ninduced near neurogenic
\ndiabetes. <\/p>\n
617
\n00:40:01,000 –> 00:40:03,600
\nInsipidus which is otherwise
\nreferred to as ndi causing <\/p>\n
618
\n00:40:03,600 –> 00:40:07,900
\nchronic hypertension hydration,
\nthese two conditions, destroyed <\/p>\n
619
\n00:40:07,900 –> 00:40:12,000
\nher kidneys overtime converted
\nthem to scar tissue and they <\/p>\n
620
\n00:40:12,000 –> 00:40:13,700
\nwere unable to function.
\nWe met her. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:40:13,700 –> 00:40:17,500
\nShe had I think four percent
\noffer kidney function which is <\/p>\n
622
\n00:40:17,500 –> 00:40:20,100
\nnot a pleasant way to live in
\n2012. <\/p>\n
623
\n00:40:20,100 –> 00:40:23,100
\nShe was diagnosed with
\nend-stage, renal failure and <\/p>\n
624
\n00:40:23,100 –> 00:40:26,300
\nthat led to depression but all
\nthe while she’s learning the <\/p>\n
625
\n00:40:26,300 –> 00:40:28,600
\ntruth.
\nAnd so there’s this sharp <\/p>\n
626
\n00:40:28,600 –> 00:40:33,000
\ncontrast between this miserable.
\nLife, which in every respect was<\/p>\n
627
\n00:40:34,000 –> 00:40:36,600
\nmet with one disaster after
\nanother and her physical <\/p>\n
628
\n00:40:36,600 –> 00:40:38,500
\ncondition and all the Pains of
\nher body. <\/p>\n
629
\n00:40:38,900 –> 00:40:42,900
\nAnd then she learns the truth.
\nSo I don’t know about you. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:40:42,900 –> 00:40:44,800
\nWhen I learned the truth, I was
\npretty happy. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:40:44,900 –> 00:40:47,100
\nI was also kind of miserable, I
\nwas 17. <\/p>\n
632
\n00:40:47,100 –> 00:40:50,900
\nI was miserable because I had
\nbecome aware of the sin, that <\/p>\n
633
\n00:40:50,900 –> 00:40:53,100
\ndwelt, the law of sin and death
\nand my members. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:40:53,700 –> 00:40:56,200
\nAnd so on that side of it.
\nBut I hadn’t gone through <\/p>\n
635
\n00:40:56,200 –> 00:40:59,500
\nanything like this.
\nI was raising a happy family <\/p>\n
636
\n00:40:59,500 –> 00:41:03,000
\nwith two one.
\nParents who were both diligent <\/p>\n
637
\n00:41:03,000 –> 00:41:05,300
\nand applied in the truth.
\nHad been raised in it from their<\/p>\n
638
\n00:41:05,300 –> 00:41:09,900
\nyouth.
\nAnd and and and so I don’t think<\/p>\n
639
\n00:41:09,900 –> 00:41:12,500
\nthe truth means any more to her
\nthan it does to me. <\/p>\n
640
\n00:41:13,400 –> 00:41:17,400
\nBut there was something about
\nDawn, when she described what <\/p>\n
641
\n00:41:17,400 –> 00:41:20,400
\nhappened to her when she learned
\nthe truth and she met <\/p>\n
642
\n00:41:20,400 –> 00:41:24,600
\nchristadelphians that just
\nbrought her to life while she <\/p>\n
643
\n00:41:24,600 –> 00:41:28,700
\nwas dying.
\nThis is a paradox in that, a <\/p>\n
644
\n00:41:28,700 –> 00:41:31,500
\nwonderful Paradox to avoid
\nFatality. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:41:31,500 –> 00:41:34,600
\nShe was given two options
\ndialysis or transplant. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:41:35,200 –> 00:41:38,200
\nSo she had to wait and she had
\nother conditions that would <\/p>\n
647
\n00:41:38,200 –> 00:41:43,800
\nwould that delayed everything
\nshe started fistulas which is a <\/p>\n
648
\n00:41:43,808 –> 00:41:46,800
\nvein artery graph for a dialysis
\nand they were very painful. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:41:46,800 –> 00:41:48,900
\nShe went on dialysis because
\ntheir veins were too weak for <\/p>\n
650
\n00:41:48,900 –> 00:41:52,300
\nthe fistulas and they put a
\ncatheter to her heart and she <\/p>\n
651
\n00:41:52,300 –> 00:41:54,300
\nwould say something like that
\nwas painful. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:41:55,900 –> 00:41:59,000
\nHas Tom health issues, resulted
\nin debilitating weight, gain <\/p>\n
653
\n00:41:59,000 –> 00:42:02,200
\nover 300 pounds, preventing the
\ntransplant. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:42:03,400 –> 00:42:07,100
\nThere were several 7 catheter
\ntreatments, which induced <\/p>\n
655
\n00:42:07,100 –> 00:42:09,800
\nStrokes from constant, clotting
\nkey magic, going through this, <\/p>\n
656
\n00:42:10,300 –> 00:42:13,200
\nwhile you’re learning the truth.
\nAnd it was pretty much that <\/p>\n
657
\n00:42:13,200 –> 00:42:18,800
\nperiod in the four years in
\n2016, without precedent or <\/p>\n
658
\n00:42:18,800 –> 00:42:22,600
\nexplanation for her.
\nHer kidney suddenly started <\/p>\n
659
\n00:42:22,600 –> 00:42:25,100
\nfunctioning Invasion, she was on
\nher deathbed. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:42:25,600 –> 00:42:30,300
\nShe got baptized and just inside
\ntwo years, she was able to get <\/p>\n
661
\n00:42:30,300 –> 00:42:34,300
\noff her dialysis and her kidney
\nstarted functioning And she <\/p>\n
662
\n00:42:34,300 –> 00:42:37,500
\nsaid, this is a miracle.
\nI hit must be, God, is that <\/p>\n
663
\n00:42:37,500 –> 00:42:40,300
\nclose to me?
\nAnd so, all of her hope turned <\/p>\n
664
\n00:42:40,300 –> 00:42:45,500
\ninto a kind of a, an immediate
\ndeliverance from a condition. <\/p>\n
665
\n00:42:45,500 –> 00:42:47,700
\nShe was sure was going to take
\nher out. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:42:48,800 –> 00:42:55,100
\nYeah, with her.
\nFamilial looking call them. <\/p>\n
667
\n00:42:55,100 –> 00:42:57,200
\nThat heard the horrible
\nconditions of her life around <\/p>\n
668
\n00:42:57,200 –> 00:43:02,000
\nother people who used her and
\nabused her and the physical <\/p>\n
669
\n00:43:02,000 –> 00:43:04,300
\nissue she had to deal with in
\nall of her life. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:43:05,300 –> 00:43:12,300
\nThis is her testimony.
\nWhat are you doing? <\/p>\n
671
\n00:43:48,200 –> 00:43:55,100
\nYes, my fraction.
\nMy face. <\/p>\n
672
\n00:44:18,900 –> 00:44:22,700
\nShe had makeup on the cover, the
\nblack areas where her cheek was <\/p>\n
673
\n00:44:22,700 –> 00:44:24,600
\nwas still bruised from those
\nballs. <\/p>\n
674
\n00:44:39,100 –> 00:45:25,100
\nif I’m Sharon, Christ.
\nbecause, <\/p>\n
675
\n00:45:58,200 –> 00:46:01,000
\nI don’t know if you recognize
\nthis but that was an area of <\/p>\n
676
\n00:46:01,000 –> 00:46:04,000
\nconsideration that dr.
\nThomas went through in elpis <\/p>\n
677
\n00:46:04,000 –> 00:46:07,100
\nIsrael, calling God a liar.
\nIf we don’t believe his <\/p>\n
678
\n00:46:07,100 –> 00:46:09,900
\npromises, she got that from
\nElvis Israel, <\/p>\n
679
\n00:47:16,900 –> 00:47:46,100
\nSo I get up and I Walk This Way.
\nSo she had several anchors that <\/p>\n
680
\n00:47:46,100 –> 00:47:49,600
\nshe had in place that she would
\nmean on, as she went through all<\/p>\n
681
\n00:47:49,600 –> 00:47:53,500
\nthese cyclical burdens, she was
\ncarrying. <\/p>\n
682
\n00:47:54,300 –> 00:47:57,400
\nThis was the one I asked her.
\nWhat’s the one verse that really<\/p>\n
683
\n00:47:57,400 –> 00:48:01,400
\nstands out to you as the most
\nimportant in terms of your <\/p>\n
684
\n00:48:01,400 –> 00:48:03,700
\ncomfort?
\nAnd she said, for I know that my<\/p>\n
685
\n00:48:03,700 –> 00:48:07,100
\nredeemer, she went straight to
\njob that my redeemer lives and <\/p>\n
686
\n00:48:07,100 –> 00:48:09,500
\nthat he shall stand at the
\nlatter day upon the Earth. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:48:11,100 –> 00:48:15,100
\nAnd though, after my skin worms,
\ndestroy this body yet in my <\/p>\n
688
\n00:48:15,100 –> 00:48:17,900
\nflesh.
\nI shall see God. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:48:20,500 –> 00:48:22,800
\nShe had a poem that she said is
\nher favorite poem. <\/p>\n
690
\n00:48:24,600 –> 00:48:27,900
\nAnd I read that to you now, it’s
\ncalled all I hoped for, I don’t <\/p>\n
691
\n00:48:27,900 –> 00:48:30,400
\nknow if you’ve ever heard this
\npoem before but knowing her <\/p>\n
692
\n00:48:30,400 –> 00:48:32,700
\nstory you can see what she’s
\nsaying. <\/p>\n
693
\n00:48:33,600 –> 00:48:36,200
\nI asked God for strength that I
\nmight achieve. <\/p>\n
694
\n00:48:36,800 –> 00:48:40,500
\nI Was Made weak that I might
\nlearn to humbly obey. <\/p>\n
695
\n00:48:41,700 –> 00:48:45,700
\nI asked God for health that I
\nmight do greater things, I was <\/p>\n
696
\n00:48:45,700 –> 00:48:50,000
\ngiven infirmity that I might do
\nbetter things and it’s God for <\/p>\n
697
\n00:48:50,000 –> 00:48:54,100
\nriches that I might be happy.
\nI was given poverty that I might<\/p>\n
698
\n00:48:54,100 –> 00:48:54,800
\nbe.
\nEyes. <\/p>\n
699
\n00:48:55,800 –> 00:48:58,500
\nI ask God for power that I might
\nhave the praise of men. <\/p>\n
700
\n00:48:59,600 –> 00:49:03,400
\nI was given weakness that I
\nmight feel the need of God. <\/p>\n
701
\n00:49:04,300 –> 00:49:06,700
\nI asked for all things that I
\nmight enjoy life. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:49:07,100 –> 00:49:17,400
\nI got nothing that I asked for,
\nbut everything I had hoped for <\/p>\n
703
\n00:49:18,500 –> 00:49:21,900
\nalmost despite myself my
\nunspoken prayers. <\/p>\n
704
\n00:49:21,900 –> 00:49:24,900
\nWere answered.
\nI am among all people. <\/p>\n
705
\n00:49:25,600 –> 00:49:30,200
\nMost richly blessed.
\nLast fall, sister, Donna. <\/p>\n
706
\n00:49:30,200 –> 00:49:33,000
\nFell asleep in Christ.
\nThis was just a few days before <\/p>\n
707
\n00:49:33,000 –> 00:49:40,400
\nshe finally fell asleep.
\nHe said, Don do you have a last <\/p>\n
708
\n00:49:40,400 –> 00:49:43,200
\nmessage?
\nI’ll write it down. <\/p>\n
709
\n00:49:43,500 –> 00:49:46,300
\nTell people.
\nShe said yeah, she said no <\/p>\n
710
\n00:49:46,300 –> 00:49:48,900
\nmatter what you feel.
\nGod is with you. <\/p>\n
711
\n00:49:49,900 –> 00:49:52,200
\nPut yourself in your Masters
\narms. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:49:53,000 –> 00:49:57,500
\nGod is real.
\nTim taught me the truth and now <\/p>\n
713
\n00:49:57,500 –> 00:50:00,900
\nI can live forever.
\nWhat I love about her language <\/p>\n
714
\n00:50:01,100 –> 00:50:06,200
\nis is so childlike.
\nIt sounds like the Pure Heart of<\/p>\n
715
\n00:50:06,200 –> 00:50:10,600
\na little child and I think in
\nmany ways she had to survive, <\/p>\n
716
\n00:50:10,600 –> 00:50:16,700
\nshe ended bypass the weight of
\nher her aging, and her adulthood<\/p>\n
717
\n00:50:16,700 –> 00:50:21,600
\nand are infirmities and narrow
\ndown to whatever happiness she <\/p>\n
718
\n00:50:21,600 –> 00:50:24,800
\ncould.
\nShe could see life through in <\/p>\n
719
\n00:50:24,800 –> 00:50:28,700
\nthe eyes of a little girl, and
\nnow I can live forever. <\/p>\n
720
\n00:50:29,600 –> 00:50:32,200
\nBefore she died.
\nShe wrote Our Ecclesia a letter.<\/p>\n
721
\n00:50:32,200 –> 00:50:36,100
\nAnd this is a particular
\ninterest to us because of the <\/p>\n
722
\n00:50:36,100 –> 00:50:39,700
\nthings that stood out to her as
\nbeing important in her <\/p>\n
723
\n00:50:39,700 –> 00:50:44,000
\nconnection to christadelphians
\nand to the Ecclesia, those of us<\/p>\n
724
\n00:50:44,000 –> 00:50:48,300
\nwho maybe take the Ecclesia for
\ngranted or we’ve lived in and <\/p>\n
725
\n00:50:48,300 –> 00:50:51,100
\nall on lives, couldn’t possibly
\ncome up with the sort of <\/p>\n
726
\n00:50:51,700 –> 00:50:55,600
\nrealizations that she had by
\nsuddenly in her life being <\/p>\n
727
\n00:50:55,600 –> 00:51:02,700
\nconnected to people who for her.
\nWere the the voice and the eyes <\/p>\n
728
\n00:51:03,000 –> 00:51:08,100
\nand the hands of Jesus in her
\nlife, she felt his touch. <\/p>\n
729
\n00:51:08,300 –> 00:51:12,700
\nShe saw his face and she heard
\nhis voice in the Ecclesia. <\/p>\n
730
\n00:51:14,100 –> 00:51:16,800
\nThis is what she said.
\nShe asked me to read this with <\/p>\n
731
\n00:51:16,800 –> 00:51:18,300
\nthe announcements one Sunday
\nmorning. <\/p>\n
732
\n00:51:18,500 –> 00:51:20,300
\nMy dear Brothers and Sisters in
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:51:21,100 –> 00:51:23,700
\nThis letter has been long and
\nlate in coming. <\/p>\n
734
\n00:51:24,800 –> 00:51:27,600
\nBut I can no longer remain quiet
\nabout the mercy and power of <\/p>\n
735
\n00:51:27,600 –> 00:51:30,300
\nYahweh or the rocks will indeed
\ncry out. <\/p>\n
736
\n00:51:30,800 –> 00:51:33,800
\nI’ve heard it said that either.
\nWe see everything as a miracle <\/p>\n
737
\n00:51:33,800 –> 00:51:37,700
\nor nothing as a miracle, I see
\nmiracles. <\/p>\n
738
\n00:51:38,700 –> 00:51:41,300
\nOur Lives themselves are a
\nmiracle to yahweh’s ability to <\/p>\n
739
\n00:51:41,300 –> 00:51:46,100
\nsustain us and to sustain us
\nsimultaneously. <\/p>\n
740
\n00:51:47,600 –> 00:51:50,900
\nThe continued presence of the
\nEcclesia on Earth is a miracle. <\/p>\n
741
\n00:51:53,600 –> 00:51:56,000
\nThat the truth is still being
\npreached and people are still <\/p>\n
742
\n00:51:56,000 –> 00:51:57,900
\nanswering, the call is a
\nmiracle. <\/p>\n
743
\n00:51:59,400 –> 00:52:01,200
\nShe’s going.
\nWhat was she getting out there? <\/p>\n
744
\n00:52:01,700 –> 00:52:05,500
\nThe at this age of the Earth
\nwith the world at this level of <\/p>\n
745
\n00:52:05,500 –> 00:52:08,700
\nungodliness and the truth is
\nstill being preached and people <\/p>\n
746
\n00:52:08,700 –> 00:52:11,200
\nare still answering to her is a
\nmiracle. <\/p>\n
747
\n00:52:12,300 –> 00:52:15,900
\nI’ve been up down and sometimes
\neven sideways, but my faith in <\/p>\n
748
\n00:52:15,900 –> 00:52:18,400
\nYahweh, his Ecclesia and hope
\nthis. <\/p>\n
749
\n00:52:19,500 –> 00:52:22,100
\nThe men, he has given to lead
\nand advise us. <\/p>\n
750
\n00:52:23,600 –> 00:52:26,900
\nThe men, he has given to lead an
\nadvisor us. <\/p>\n
751
\n00:52:28,100 –> 00:52:30,500
\nEspecially my hope in the
\nKingdom has never wavered. <\/p>\n
752
\n00:52:30,500 –> 00:52:35,000
\nSo what would produce a focus on
\nthe men of the Ecclesia that she<\/p>\n
753
\n00:52:35,000 –> 00:52:37,400
\nhad and I can tell you what that
\nwas. <\/p>\n
754
\n00:52:37,800 –> 00:52:40,200
\nShe had known abusive men all
\nher life. <\/p>\n
755
\n00:52:41,500 –> 00:52:44,600
\nMan who saw her as an object,
\nmen who used her men who <\/p>\n
756
\n00:52:44,600 –> 00:52:49,400
\nmistreated her broke her down.
\nAnd when she met <\/p>\n
757
\n00:52:49,400 –> 00:52:54,300
\nchristadelphians, she met men
\nwho were gentlemen. who had <\/p>\n
758
\n00:52:54,300 –> 00:52:57,800
\ngenuine love for people who are
\nin trouble, who would take their<\/p>\n
759
\n00:52:57,800 –> 00:53:01,400
\ntime and give it to her who,
\nwhen they spoke sounded like, <\/p>\n
760
\n00:53:02,500 –> 00:53:06,200
\nJesus might be saying the same
\nthing who when they shared the <\/p>\n
761
\n00:53:06,200 –> 00:53:10,200
\nbread and the wine with her
\ncried with her, she met men that<\/p>\n
762
\n00:53:10,200 –> 00:53:12,500
\ntook her seen so much to be like
\ncrazy. <\/p>\n
763
\n00:53:12,500 –> 00:53:15,500
\nWe had a Rota in our khaleja.
\nSo brother after brother went to<\/p>\n
764
\n00:53:15,500 –> 00:53:18,800
\nsee her and George where they
\nlived on certain Sundays. <\/p>\n
765
\n00:53:19,700 –> 00:53:24,900
\nSo she said that never wavered
\none Lord, One Faith. <\/p>\n
766
\n00:53:24,900 –> 00:53:27,200
\nOne baptism.
\nWhy did she say that she does <\/p>\n
767
\n00:53:27,200 –> 00:53:29,500
\nthat because since its
\nInception, the Norfolk Ecclesia <\/p>\n
768
\n00:53:29,500 –> 00:53:33,700
\nhas had a banner up front.
\nThat said that one Lord, One <\/p>\n
769
\n00:53:33,700 –> 00:53:35,200
\nFaith.
\nOne baptism. <\/p>\n
770
\n00:53:36,000 –> 00:53:40,000
\nIt’s up on our Podium now in
\nGold letters and she saw that in<\/p>\n
771
\n00:53:40,000 –> 00:53:43,200
\nthe few times that she was able
\nto come to meeting with us. <\/p>\n
772
\n00:53:43,200 –> 00:53:46,400
\nSo that stood out to her as
\nsomething that the Ecclesia is <\/p>\n
773
\n00:53:46,400 –> 00:53:51,800
\nabout.
\nBut when she said one hope, One <\/p>\n
774
\n00:53:51,800 –> 00:53:55,400
\nFaith.
\nOne baptism. <\/p>\n
775
\n00:53:56,400 –> 00:54:02,000
\nWas there not was that not full
\nand Rich with substance and <\/p>\n
776
\n00:54:02,000 –> 00:54:05,400
\nmeaning the kind of substance
\nyou and I both know is embodied <\/p>\n
777
\n00:54:05,400 –> 00:54:08,900
\nin those words but maybe seldom
\nthink about in the way that <\/p>\n
778
\n00:54:08,900 –> 00:54:12,800
\nshe’s using them here.
\nWhen she says God’s word stand <\/p>\n
779
\n00:54:12,800 –> 00:54:15,300
\non stands on its own.
\nAnd you have had the blessing to<\/p>\n
780
\n00:54:15,300 –> 00:54:18,900
\nhave found it.
\nSo cherish the truth and <\/p>\n
781
\n00:54:18,900 –> 00:54:23,600
\ncherish, the Ecclesia.
\nI wish I was there among you in <\/p>\n
782
\n00:54:23,600 –> 00:54:26,300
\nmy heart.
\nI am keep the one hope clearly <\/p>\n
783
\n00:54:26,300 –> 00:54:29,400
\nin your sight.
\nOur Lord’s return is imminent. <\/p>\n
784
\n00:54:29,500 –> 00:54:32,600
\nMay we all be found worthy to
\nenter in come Lord. <\/p>\n
785
\n00:54:32,600 –> 00:54:38,000
\nJesus sister Dawn, you Zack.
\nSo that was the end of her <\/p>\n
786
\n00:54:38,000 –> 00:54:40,700
\nstory.
\nShe’s now asleep in Christ, she <\/p>\n
787
\n00:54:40,700 –> 00:54:44,200
\nhas No pain for.
\nHe gives his beloved sleep. <\/p>\n
788
\n00:54:47,700 –> 00:54:50,800
\nThere’s no feeling in it but
\nit’s not unlike Bliss. <\/p>\n
789
\n00:54:50,800 –> 00:54:53,500
\nIt’s a blissful State because
\nit’s weightless. <\/p>\n
790
\n00:54:53,500 –> 00:54:57,200
\nIt’s painless, it has no
\nknowledge of the sufferings of <\/p>\n
791
\n00:54:57,200 –> 00:55:01,000
\nthe world or depressed personal
\ndepression to be associated with<\/p>\n
792
\n00:55:01,700 –> 00:55:05,800
\nyou just sleeping.
\nWaiting to wake up for. <\/p>\n
793
\n00:55:05,800 –> 00:55:10,500
\nHe gives his beloved sleep.
\nSo I said the story doesn’t end <\/p>\n
794
\n00:55:10,500 –> 00:55:14,000
\nthere because there is recovery
\nin the kingdom and all that <\/p>\n
795
\n00:55:14,000 –> 00:55:17,800
\nwould be meaningless without the
\nsubstance of what we understand <\/p>\n
796
\n00:55:17,800 –> 00:55:19,800
\nlies before us in the kingdom of
\nGod. <\/p>\n
797
\n00:55:20,600 –> 00:55:24,400
\nThen the eyes of the blind shall
\nbe opened The ears of the deaf <\/p>\n
798
\n00:55:24,400 –> 00:55:27,100
\nshall be unstopped.
\nThen the lame. <\/p>\n
799
\n00:55:27,100 –> 00:55:29,400
\nShall leap like a deer or like a
\nheart. <\/p>\n
800
\n00:55:29,400 –> 00:55:32,200
\nThis is a picture of a hard.
\nIt’s a young deer and the tongue<\/p>\n
801
\n00:55:32,200 –> 00:55:34,400
\nof the dumb shall sing or
\nsomething. <\/p>\n
802
\n00:55:34,400 –> 00:55:38,200
\nSo amazing to me about this
\npicture because that, that <\/p>\n
803
\n00:55:38,200 –> 00:55:41,700
\nheart, I’d love to see an
\nanimation a movie of it. <\/p>\n
804
\n00:55:41,700 –> 00:55:45,100
\nBut that heart seems to be
\nweightless, not bound to gravity<\/p>\n
805
\n00:55:45,600 –> 00:55:49,900
\nfull of strength and energy.
\nAnd it’s just captured perfectly<\/p>\n
806
\n00:55:49,900 –> 00:55:53,800
\nin this picture.
\nSpeaking of Israel for thus, <\/p>\n
807
\n00:55:53,800 –> 00:55:56,800
\nsaid, the Lord says the Lord
\nbehold, I will extend peace to <\/p>\n
808
\n00:55:56,800 –> 00:56:00,600
\nher like a river and the glory
\nof the Gentiles like a flowing <\/p>\n
809
\n00:56:00,600 –> 00:56:03,200
\nstream.
\nThen you shall suck. <\/p>\n
810
\n00:56:03,800 –> 00:56:06,900
\nYou shall be borne upon her
\nsides and be dandled upon her <\/p>\n
811
\n00:56:06,900 –> 00:56:10,100
\nknees as one whom his mother
\nComforts. <\/p>\n
812
\n00:56:10,400 –> 00:56:15,200
\nSo I will comfort.
\nYou, you shall be comforted In <\/p>\n
813
\n00:56:15,200 –> 00:56:17,500
\nJerusalem.
\nSo the whole concept of this <\/p>\n
814
\n00:56:17,500 –> 00:56:20,700
\ncity of Peace in the city of the
\ngreat king and the Throne of <\/p>\n
815
\n00:56:20,700 –> 00:56:24,700
\nDavid and the return of Christ
\nto establish that throne. <\/p>\n
816
\n00:56:24,800 –> 00:56:28,100
\nAnd this throng of people who
\nonce suffered standing around in<\/p>\n
817
\n00:56:28,100 –> 00:56:30,800
\nthe in praise and honor and
\npower and glory to his name, is <\/p>\n
818
\n00:56:31,000 –> 00:56:35,100
\nthis picture of comfort and
\nJerusalem is fill in our hearts.<\/p>\n
819
\n00:56:36,100 –> 00:56:39,100
\nThere’s almost no detail left
\nout because God has already via <\/p>\n
820
\n00:56:39,100 –> 00:56:40,800
\nrevealed to the mouse of his
\nservants. <\/p>\n
821
\n00:56:40,800 –> 00:56:43,900
\nThe prophets, what he intends to
\ndo in that day when he comes and<\/p>\n
822
\n00:56:43,900 –> 00:56:48,500
\nis with us, He saves us.
\nYou shall be comforted in <\/p>\n
823
\n00:56:48,500 –> 00:56:52,800
\nJerusalem, right now, is just
\nwhat we know, it comes in the <\/p>\n
824
\n00:56:52,800 –> 00:56:56,300
\nform of knowledge.
\nThis particular passage means a <\/p>\n
825
\n00:56:56,308 –> 00:57:00,900
\nlot to me because when I was 17
\nhaving my own little trial of <\/p>\n
826
\n00:57:00,900 –> 00:57:05,800
\nadolescence and I found peace in
\nbaptism and I found peace In <\/p>\n
827
\n00:57:05,800 –> 00:57:10,100
\nthis passage, which I converted
\nto a song that my sister wife <\/p>\n
828
\n00:57:10,100 –> 00:57:15,300
\nsang with me for years in our
\nyouth, we sang This Together, O <\/p>\n
829
\n00:57:15,300 –> 00:57:20,200
\nLord, my heart is not.
\nUp, my eyes are not raised too <\/p>\n
830
\n00:57:20,200 –> 00:57:23,300
\nhigh.
\nI do not occupy myself with <\/p>\n
831
\n00:57:23,300 –> 00:57:27,400
\nthings too great, and too
\nmarvelous for me, But I have <\/p>\n
832
\n00:57:27,400 –> 00:57:32,800
\ncalmed and quieted my soul, like
\na child quieted at its mother’s <\/p>\n
833
\n00:57:32,800 –> 00:57:38,400
\nbreast, like a child quiet.
\nHe’s my soul, really, beautiful <\/p>\n
834
\n00:57:38,400 –> 00:57:42,400
\npicture, a future, that is.
\nAnd when you see this, when you <\/p>\n
835
\n00:57:42,400 –> 00:57:47,400
\nsee it with your eyes, your
\nheart will rejoice and your <\/p>\n
836
\n00:57:47,400 –> 00:57:50,100
\nbones will flourish like an
\nherb. <\/p>\n
837
\n00:57:52,100 –> 00:57:58,700
\nFifty years before, the time of
\npart of the time with us, when I<\/p>\n
838
\n00:57:58,700 –> 00:58:02,500
\nwas in college, my mother had a
\nway of sitting with her hands <\/p>\n
839
\n00:58:02,500 –> 00:58:06,800
\nfolded.
\nOne over another and in her lap <\/p>\n
840
\n00:58:07,800 –> 00:58:10,100
\nand her hands were the hands of
\nservice. <\/p>\n
841
\n00:58:10,100 –> 00:58:11,900
\nAll my life.
\nEveryone that knew my mother <\/p>\n
842
\n00:58:11,900 –> 00:58:14,500
\nknew that those hands symbolized
\nservice. <\/p>\n
843
\n00:58:15,500 –> 00:58:18,700
\nAnd so I said, Mom can I can I
\njust draw your hands? <\/p>\n
844
\n00:58:18,700 –> 00:58:20,600
\nThank you.
\nI really just want to capture <\/p>\n
845
\n00:58:20,900 –> 00:58:23,700
\nthat.
\nThat gesture that I think is so <\/p>\n
846
\n00:58:23,700 –> 00:58:25,400
\nbeautiful in your hand.
\nSo, she sat down. <\/p>\n
847
\n00:58:25,700 –> 00:58:29,800
\nShe had her robe on and let me
\ndraw her hands. <\/p>\n
848
\n00:58:29,800 –> 00:58:34,300
\nAnd that was when I was when she
\nwas 44 years old. <\/p>\n
849
\n00:58:34,500 –> 00:58:38,900
\nI was in college, then when she
\nwas 94, 50 years later, fast <\/p>\n
850
\n00:58:38,900 –> 00:58:42,900
\nforward, and she was dying.
\nShe was sitting in her chair, <\/p>\n
851
\n00:58:42,900 –> 00:58:45,900
\nshe had her little arm alarm.
\nWatch on. <\/p>\n
852
\n00:58:45,900 –> 00:58:50,900
\nAnd I looked at her hands and I
\nsaw what I had drawn so many <\/p>\n
853
\n00:58:50,900 –> 00:58:54,800
\nyears earlier But now, in a
\nstate of having borne all the <\/p>\n
854
\n00:58:54,800 –> 00:58:59,300
\nweight of mortality throughout
\nher life and I took a picture of<\/p>\n
855
\n00:58:59,300 –> 00:59:01,500
\nthem to relate the two, which
\nI’m now doing. <\/p>\n
856
\n00:59:01,500 –> 00:59:05,200
\nAnd I have the pleasure of doing
\nin this series, means a little <\/p>\n
857
\n00:59:05,200 –> 00:59:07,200
\nbit more to me than perhaps it
\nwould to you. <\/p>\n
858
\n00:59:07,200 –> 00:59:11,000
\nBut think of all that and
\neverything we thought of, and <\/p>\n
859
\n00:59:11,000 –> 00:59:14,600
\nthis verse strengthen, the weak
\nhands and make firm the feeble <\/p>\n
860
\n00:59:14,600 –> 00:59:17,900
\nknees.
\nBecause what Don would think, if<\/p>\n
861
\n00:59:17,900 –> 00:59:21,400
\nshe read that, how that would
\nenable her to manage her <\/p>\n
862
\n00:59:21,400 –> 00:59:24,200
\ndiscomfort with strength and
\nwhat a comfort it would be to <\/p>\n
863
\n00:59:24,200 –> 00:59:27,900
\nher say to those who are fearful
\nhearted be strong and do not <\/p>\n
864
\n00:59:27,900 –> 00:59:32,100
\nappear, behold your God, will
\ncome with vengeance with the <\/p>\n
865
\n00:59:32,100 –> 00:59:35,500
\nrecompense of God and he will
\ncome and save you. <\/p>\n
866
\n00:59:37,700 –> 00:59:41,300
\nThe Hilton as an Earnest when he
\nwas here, he couldn’t save the <\/p>\n
867
\n00:59:41,300 –> 00:59:43,600
\nworld.
\nThen, I know he wanted to I <\/p>\n
868
\n00:59:43,600 –> 00:59:46,100
\nthink that was the nature of his
\nprayer and disseminate when he <\/p>\n
869
\n00:59:46,100 –> 00:59:50,200
\nsaid, let this cup pass from me
\nsomehow or another, that must <\/p>\n
870
\n00:59:50,200 –> 00:59:54,300
\nhave meant if we can just bring
\nin peace and salvation in the <\/p>\n
871
\n00:59:54,300 –> 00:59:58,000
\nblessing of the nation’s.
\nNow, isn’t it enough as the <\/p>\n
872
\n00:59:58,008 –> 01:00:00,400
\nsuffering of the world gone on
\nlong enough. <\/p>\n
873
\n01:00:00,400 –> 01:00:04,300
\nNow, for us to do it now,
\nnevertheless possibly with that,<\/p>\n
874
\n01:00:04,300 –> 01:00:07,000
\nthought he says not my will but
\nthine Done. <\/p>\n
875
\n01:00:08,800 –> 01:00:12,900
\nSo, his Fame spread throughout
\nall Syria, because he wanted to <\/p>\n
876
\n01:00:12,900 –> 01:00:14,900
\ndo what little he could do in
\nthat day. <\/p>\n
877
\n01:00:14,900 –> 01:00:17,400
\nAnd they brought him all the
\nsick, those Afflicted with <\/p>\n
878
\n01:00:17,400 –> 01:00:20,600
\nvarious diseases, and pains
\nthose oppressed by demons having<\/p>\n
879
\n01:00:20,600 –> 01:00:22,900
\nseizures, and paralytics.
\nAnd he healed them. <\/p>\n
880
\n01:00:22,900 –> 01:00:26,600
\nEvery one of them, when the sun
\nwas setting, all those who had <\/p>\n
881
\n01:00:26,600 –> 01:00:30,500
\nany who had were sick, and were
\nburied with various diseases, <\/p>\n
882
\n01:00:30,500 –> 01:00:32,900
\nbrought them to him.
\nAnd he laid his hands on every <\/p>\n
883
\n01:00:32,900 –> 01:00:36,200
\none of them and healed them and
\nhealed them all, when I was a <\/p>\n
884
\n01:00:36,200 –> 01:00:38,800
\nteenager and I would run across
\nthis in the rare. <\/p>\n
885
\n01:00:38,900 –> 01:00:43,000
\nThings wherever it appeared in
\nthe gospel and many followed <\/p>\n
886
\n01:00:43,000 –> 01:00:45,200
\nhim, and he healed them all for
\nsome reason. <\/p>\n
887
\n01:00:45,500 –> 01:00:48,600
\nIt made me cry.
\nEvery time I read, it still does<\/p>\n
888
\n01:00:48,600 –> 01:00:54,100
\nactually because the concept of
\nGod sending his son to the <\/p>\n
889
\n01:00:54,100 –> 01:00:58,200
\nEarth.
\nFinally, finally, in that day of<\/p>\n
890
\n01:00:58,200 –> 01:01:01,600
\nhis appearing.
\nThat wonderful day when god <\/p>\n
891
\n01:01:01,600 –> 01:01:05,600
\nreigns down righteousness, and
\npeace on this Earth and he heals<\/p>\n
892
\n01:01:06,000 –> 01:01:10,400
\nall of the people in the world,
\nAnd you and I will see it with <\/p>\n
893
\n01:01:10,400 –> 01:01:13,700
\nour eyes and we’ll be there with
\nour hands to touch them and heal<\/p>\n
894
\n01:01:13,700 –> 01:01:18,600
\nthem like he did.
\nThere’s so much in that that he <\/p>\n
895
\n01:01:18,600 –> 01:01:22,400
\nhealed them all.
\nSo, in the resurrection of what <\/p>\n
896
\n01:01:22,400 –> 01:01:26,700
\nwe hope for, what, Don hopes,
\nfor now we’re raised in <\/p>\n
897
\n01:01:26,700 –> 01:01:28,700
\nincorruption.
\nThat means unending. <\/p>\n
898
\n01:01:28,700 –> 01:01:32,400
\nExistence, that’s the specific
\nmeaning of the word corruption <\/p>\n
899
\n01:01:32,400 –> 01:01:35,900
\nin that passage air resistance.
\nWill never end because will now <\/p>\n
900
\n01:01:35,900 –> 01:01:39,500
\nbe have the righteousness of
\nGod, driving our character and <\/p>\n
901
\n01:01:39,500 –> 01:01:43,900
\nmatched with perfect bodily
\nhealth and unending existence in<\/p>\n
902
\n01:01:43,900 –> 01:01:49,300
\nmortality Will be sown in
\ndishonor but raised in honor <\/p>\n
903
\n01:01:49,400 –> 01:01:52,400
\nwith with and praise.
\nAnd what we know is that we are <\/p>\n
904
\n01:01:52,408 –> 01:01:55,700
\nassembled around the throne is
\nseven, spirits of fire. <\/p>\n
905
\n01:01:55,800 –> 01:01:59,500
\nGiving all the praise to Christ
\nwho’s now in throne and is his <\/p>\n
906
\n01:01:59,500 –> 01:02:03,100
\nmission has been fulfilled with
\nrespect to this marriage to his <\/p>\n
907
\n01:02:03,100 –> 01:02:10,200
\nbride.
\nWhat we get from him He puts us <\/p>\n
908
\n01:02:10,200 –> 01:02:16,800
\nlike a crown on his head.
\nHe says you’re the jewels in my <\/p>\n
909
\n01:02:16,800 –> 01:02:19,400
\ncrown.
\nIn that day, when I make up my <\/p>\n
910
\n01:02:19,400 –> 01:02:22,800
\nJewels, you are my Jewels, God
\nsaid, and Alucard. <\/p>\n
911
\n01:02:24,100 –> 01:02:27,200
\nAnd we are praising him and he
\ngives us the praise. <\/p>\n
912
\n01:02:29,100 –> 01:02:32,100
\nOf a groom for his bride was all
\nthroughout the song. <\/p>\n
913
\n01:02:32,100 –> 01:02:36,200
\nIsn’t it song Solomon?
\nSo we’re selling and weakness <\/p>\n
914
\n01:02:37,300 –> 01:02:40,600
\nbut raised in power and that
\npower means miraculous abilities<\/p>\n
915
\n01:02:40,600 –> 01:02:43,800
\nand miraculous abilities.
\nFor us means that the comfort <\/p>\n
916
\n01:02:43,800 –> 01:02:47,200
\nthat we Now understand in full
\nfrom the tribulation, we <\/p>\n
917
\n01:02:47,200 –> 01:02:50,800
\nsuffered in our mortal lives, we
\ncan bring to the nation’s not <\/p>\n
918
\n01:02:50,800 –> 01:02:53,200
\njust to the Ecclesia, not to
\nthose one or two people around <\/p>\n
919
\n01:02:53,200 –> 01:02:56,600
\nus who need our help.
\nBut to the nation’s, to the <\/p>\n
920
\n01:02:56,600 –> 01:03:01,400
\nstarving millions in Africa, to
\nthe the, the pathetic abused in <\/p>\n
921
\n01:03:01,400 –> 01:03:05,500
\nfamilies, where there were
\nselfish fathers and ignorant, To<\/p>\n
922
\n01:03:05,500 –> 01:03:07,900
\nall the people of the world who
\nin war-torn countries <\/p>\n
923
\n01:03:07,900 –> 01:03:11,700
\nimpoverished and starving and
\nfull of anxiety and stress and <\/p>\n
924
\n01:03:11,700 –> 01:03:15,300
\nperplexity of Nations and Al
\nmiraculous abilities will be <\/p>\n
925
\n01:03:15,300 –> 01:03:18,200
\nthere.
\nMultiplying the hands and <\/p>\n
926
\n01:03:18,200 –> 01:03:22,100
\ngarments of Christ by thousands
\nupon thousands throughout the <\/p>\n
927

\nworld.
\nHe looked from its miseries sown<\/p>\n
928
\n01:03:26,200 –> 01:03:29,400
\na natural body, but raised a
\nspiritual body and this may be <\/p>\n
