\n00:00:13,900 –> 00:00:15,600
\nWelcome to Good Burger selfie
\nand talks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:19,300
\nI’m Levi and I’m Chris and I’m
\nBrian, thank you for joining us <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:19,300 –> 00:00:21,900
\nthis week.
\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,400
\ntaco week to help us get the
\nBible in our daily news feed. <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:26,500 –> 00:00:29,300
\nWe post a new episode of the
\nstart of each week with a short <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:31,400
\nintro before.
\nHand to kind of set the stage <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:31,400 –> 00:00:33,600
\nfor the talk.
\nYou’re about to listen to and <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:36,300
\nnow let’s talk more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:51,100 –> 00:00:53,400
\nWelcome to the good
\nchristadelphians Ox podcast. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:53,900 –> 00:00:57,100
\nThis is brother Brian.
\nThis week’s talk is an <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:57,100 –> 00:00:59,200
\nexcitation that was given by
\nBrother. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:59,200 –> 00:01:03,000
\nSteve Cheatham at the Moorestown
\nNew Jersey, Ecclesia just a few <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:03,000 –> 00:01:07,300
\nweeks ago, The eggs are it was
\ntitled the image of the father <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:08,100 –> 00:01:14,000
\nand the focus is on how we are
\nall made in the image of the <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:14,000 –> 00:01:17,100
\nfather.
\nBut are we showing that to <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:17,100 –> 00:01:20,200
\nothers?
\nIs that what we think of when we<\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:20,200 –> 00:01:22,300
\ntreat and interact with other
\npeople? <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:24,200 –> 00:01:28,300
\nIs that what we see in ourselves
\nwhen we look in the mirror and <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:28,300 –> 00:01:34,900
\ntruly examine ourselves?
\nProbably not but despite what we<\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:34,900 –> 00:01:38,700
\nsee in the mirror that is not
\nwhat we should be either <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:38,700 –> 00:01:44,800
\nglorifying or be tripped up by
\nThat in order to maintain this <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:44,800 –> 00:01:48,900
\nimage, we obviously need to
\navoid sin and temptation but <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:48,900 –> 00:01:51,900
\nwere plagued by poor
\nself-control. <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:53,000 –> 00:01:58,400
\nThus, we acutely understand the
\nchasm that exists within all of <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:58,400 –> 00:02:00,500
\nus, there is a desire to do,
\nright? <\/p>\n

26
\n00:02:00,500 –> 00:02:05,600
\nBut the inability to fulfill it.
\nSo as brother Steve says, Don’t <\/p>\n

27
\n00:02:05,600 –> 00:02:09,600
\nlet that though.
\nKeep you away from praying. <\/p>\n

28
\n00:02:09,600 –> 00:02:13,400
\nDon’t let that stop you from
\ncoming to meeting. <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:13,400 –> 00:02:17,000
\nDon’t let that make you think
\nthat you are Unworthy of God’s <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:17,000 –> 00:02:20,900
\nimage?
\nthat by consistently meeting <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:20,900 –> 00:02:25,200
\ntogether and marching together
\nas the Apostle Paul alludes to <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:26,400 –> 00:02:31,600
\nWe show God that we want to be a
\npart of him and that we wish to <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:31,600 –> 00:02:38,200
\nbe seen as Jesus is viewed.
\nThe mirror image of the father. <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:40,400 –> 00:02:42,700
\nP ends with a great reference
\nabout our God. <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:43,300 –> 00:02:47,200
\nIs it becoming God and that how
\nby our weekly meeting together <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:47,600 –> 00:02:50,500
\nas an outward showing of a
\ndesire to become a part of our <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:50,500 –> 00:02:53,300
\nGod recognizing that we Are Made
\nIn His Image? <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:53,900 –> 00:03:00,300
\nEven if what we feel we show is
\ntarnished or poor reflection. <\/p>\n

39
\n00:03:02,100 –> 00:03:05,600
\nSo as always, we hope this
\nstrengthens your faith and <\/p>\n

40
\n00:03:05,608 –> 00:03:09,700
\nbrightens your day brother.
\nSteve Cheatham, the image of the<\/p>\n

41
\n00:03:09,700 –> 00:03:12,800
\nfather.
\nGood morning, everyone. <\/p>\n

42
\n00:03:14,600 –> 00:03:18,000
\nI want to thank you personally
\nfor your prayers on my behalf. <\/p>\n

43
\n00:03:18,500 –> 00:03:22,100
\nIt’s really nice to be here with
\nyou and to actually be standing <\/p>\n

44
\n00:03:22,100 –> 00:03:24,400
\nbefore you.
\nThat is quite a blessing. <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:24,400 –> 00:03:29,200
\nSo thank you.
\nI have a mirror here. <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:30,900 –> 00:03:37,200
\nAnd apparently it’s broken.
\nIt’s not the glass. <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:38,600 –> 00:03:41,100
\nThe problem is every time I look
\ninto it. <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:42,300 –> 00:03:46,600
\nI see my own reflection and
\nthat’s a problem. <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:47,500 –> 00:03:52,300
\nIt’s not good.
\nIt’s not the image that I want <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:52,300 –> 00:03:57,400
\nto see reflected especially
\nhere, Sunday morning when we <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:57,400 –> 00:04:01,100
\nconsider our Lord, which we’ve
\njust sung of. <\/p>\n

52
\n00:04:01,900 –> 00:04:05,000
\nAnd before I go on, I just want
\nto thank our pianist for that <\/p>\n

53
\n00:04:05,000 –> 00:04:08,300
\nlast 10, which she’s been
\nlearning all week, it really <\/p>\n

54
\n00:04:08,300 –> 00:04:12,500
\nsums up what we’re going to be
\ntalking about Christ, Our Glory,<\/p>\n

55
\n00:04:13,800 –> 00:04:17,700
\nChrist in US.
\nSo, we’re going to be talking <\/p>\n

56
\n00:04:17,700 –> 00:04:20,700
\nabout Reflections and images
\nthis morning. <\/p>\n

57
\n00:04:22,600 –> 00:04:27,500
\nAnd we’re going to start at a
\nvery odd passage, its Genesis 9 <\/p>\n

58
\n00:04:27,800 –> 00:04:32,700
\nverse 6, and I’ll read it to
\nyou, Genesis 9 verse 6. <\/p>\n

59
\n00:04:35,500 –> 00:04:42,000
\nWhoso sheddeth man’s blood.
\nBy man shall his blood be shed? <\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:43,300 –> 00:04:47,300
\nFor in the image of God made he
\nman. <\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:48,200 –> 00:04:51,400
\nNow we would read over that very
\nquickly but think about what <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:51,400 –> 00:04:56,500
\nthat verse is saying and what it
\nreally is when you think about <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:56,500 –> 00:05:01,800
\nit, It’s the whole doctrine of
\nChrist’s teaching in the New <\/p>\n

64
\n00:05:01,800 –> 00:05:05,600
\nTestament, of Jesus, and the
\napostles. <\/p>\n

65
\n00:05:06,200 –> 00:05:09,300
\nAnd this funny little verse in
\nGenesis 9. <\/p>\n

66
\n00:05:09,900 –> 00:05:14,700
\nDo you think about it?
\nJesus said, love your enemies. <\/p>\n

67
\n00:05:16,100 –> 00:05:21,000
\nLove your neighbor as yourself.
\nDo good to all men. <\/p>\n

68
\n00:05:22,700 –> 00:05:26,700
\nIf a man strike you, when your
\nright cheek, give them your <\/p>\n

69
\n00:05:26,700 –> 00:05:32,500
\nleft, too.
\nPray for them that despitefully <\/p>\n

70
\n00:05:32,500 –> 00:05:36,900
\nuse you whosoever compelled you
\nto go. <\/p>\n

71
\n00:05:36,900 –> 00:05:42,100
\nA mile, go with him two.
\nNow, you might ask yourself if <\/p>\n

72
\n00:05:42,100 –> 00:05:45,000
\nyou heard the Lord teaching
\nthis, well, why should I do good<\/p>\n

73
\n00:05:45,000 –> 00:05:48,600
\nto these people?
\nThey’re taking advantage of me. <\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:49,600 –> 00:05:53,300
\nI don’t even like them.
\nWhat were you thinking some of <\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:53,300 –> 00:05:57,500
\nthe other teachings of the New
\nTestament of Our Lord, go sell <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:57,500 –> 00:06:03,600
\nall that you have and give to
\nthe poor or when they’ll make us<\/p>\n

77
\n00:06:03,600 –> 00:06:09,900
\nto Feast call the poor, the
\nmaimed, the lame, and the Blind.<\/p>\n

78
\n00:06:10,700 –> 00:06:15,300
\nAnd again, you might say, well,
\nwhy should I do this Lord? <\/p>\n

79
\n00:06:16,900 –> 00:06:19,900
\nAnd Genesis 9 verse 6 is the
\nanswer. <\/p>\n

80
\n00:06:21,400 –> 00:06:27,300
\nIt’s because all of them are
\nmade in the image of God. <\/p>\n

81
\n00:06:28,300 –> 00:06:32,100
\nNot just us here.
\nBut those outside, we are all <\/p>\n

82
\n00:06:32,100 –> 00:06:38,500
\nmade in the image of the father.
\nAnd for that reason, alone, we <\/p>\n

83
\n00:06:38,500 –> 00:06:42,800
\ntreat all men with respect and
\nhonor. <\/p>\n

84
\n00:06:43,800 –> 00:06:46,600
\nNow, let me give you an example.
\nIt might be a little silly but <\/p>\n

85
\n00:06:46,600 –> 00:06:50,900
\nbut it really illustrates it.
\nIf you were to Google when your <\/p>\n

86
\n00:06:50,900 –> 00:06:55,200
\nphone, how do you handle a flag
\nfrom the United States? <\/p>\n

87
\n00:06:55,400 –> 00:07:01,300
\nOr how do you dispose?
\nOf United States flag, you would<\/p>\n

88
\n00:07:01,300 –> 00:07:06,700
\nalmost be shocked at how
\ndetailed and extensive that list<\/p>\n

89
\n00:07:06,700 –> 00:07:09,100
\nis for handling a piece of
\ncloth. <\/p>\n

90
\n00:07:10,600 –> 00:07:15,800
\nAnd the whole reason is, it’s to
\nshow respect to acknowledge what<\/p>\n

91
\n00:07:15,900 –> 00:07:22,100
\nit represents.
\nHow much more Our Father in <\/p>\n

92
\n00:07:22,100 –> 00:07:26,200
\nheaven?
\nThe one who made each one of us.<\/p>\n

93
\n00:07:29,700 –> 00:07:33,600
\nConsider how this word images
\nused in Genesis? <\/p>\n

94
\n00:07:34,800 –> 00:07:39,400
\nSomebody found three times.
\nGenesis 1:27. <\/p>\n

95
\n00:07:39,400 –> 00:07:43,200
\nWe all know.
\nSo God created, man in his own <\/p>\n

96
\n00:07:43,200 –> 00:07:47,400
\nimage, in the image of God,
\ncreated him at the very start of<\/p>\n

97
\n00:07:47,400 –> 00:07:50,600
\ncreation.
\nGod sets the standard, all of <\/p>\n

98
\n00:07:50,600 –> 00:07:58,200
\nyou are in my image.
\nAnd that’s to us, that was until<\/p>\n

99
\n00:07:58,200 –> 00:08:00,100
\nan Adam and Eve what was going
\non. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:08:00,400 –> 00:08:03,300
\nThat passage is written to the
\nreaders. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:08:05,200 –> 00:08:12,700
\nGenesis 5 verse 3, Adam bore a
\nson Seth and what’s different <\/p>\n

102
\n00:08:12,700 –> 00:08:19,600
\nhere, scripture points out, Seth
\nwas in Adams image, not the <\/p>\n

103
\n00:08:19,600 –> 00:08:23,300
\nimage of the Lord.
\nAnd the last place in Genesis, <\/p>\n

104
\n00:08:23,300 –> 00:08:28,200
\nthe word images used is.
\nWe’re told not to kill because <\/p>\n

105
\n00:08:28,200 –> 00:08:33,100
\nall mankind is in the image of
\nthe father And just a little <\/p>\n

106
\n00:08:33,100 –> 00:08:36,299
\nfootnote, just a little Thai
\nthings in later. <\/p>\n

107
\n00:08:38,000 –> 00:08:41,799
\nWhy does Genesis 5 talk about
\nSeth being in Adams image and <\/p>\n

108
\n00:08:41,799 –> 00:08:47,100
\nnot the father’s image?
\nIt’s because God’s image had <\/p>\n

109
\n00:08:47,100 –> 00:08:54,600
\nbecome marred.
\nSeth inherited a disobedient <\/p>\n

110
\n00:08:54,600 –> 00:09:00,000
\nnature from Adam.
\nSeth’s birth was the direct <\/p>\n

111
\n00:09:00,000 –> 00:09:05,500
\nresult of his brother, killing
\nhis other brother Cain, rising <\/p>\n

112
\n00:09:05,500 –> 00:09:07,800
\nup and killing Abel.
\nAnd why? <\/p>\n

113
\n00:09:09,400 –> 00:09:15,600
\nBecause able reflected the image
\nof God and Cain did not and so <\/p>\n

114
\n00:09:15,600 –> 00:09:18,200
\nthat you call it a broken
\nnature. <\/p>\n

115
\n00:09:19,200 –> 00:09:22,400
\nA marred nature was handed down
\nto Seth. <\/p>\n

116
\n00:09:23,600 –> 00:09:27,700
\nAnd then after all mankind had
\nbeen destroyed by the flood. <\/p>\n

117
\n00:09:28,900 –> 00:09:33,300
\nOnly righteous Abel only
\nrighteous Noah and his small <\/p>\n

118
\n00:09:33,300 –> 00:09:37,700
\nfamily of emerged from the ark
\nand it’s another new beginning. <\/p>\n

119
\n00:09:38,500 –> 00:09:42,200
\nAnd so the principle is laid
\ndown for a new generation. <\/p>\n

120
\n00:09:43,400 –> 00:09:47,200
\nThat you are all created in the
\nimage of God. <\/p>\n

121
\n00:09:49,300 –> 00:09:53,900
\nNow the issue the struggle I
\nthink from the beginning is <\/p>\n

122
\n00:09:53,900 –> 00:10:00,200
\nmaking our insides match, our
\noutsides, the clerk down in <\/p>\n

123
\n00:10:00,200 –> 00:10:05,700
\n7-Eleven is in the image of God.
\nBut I can’t speak for internally<\/p>\n

124
\n00:10:05,700 –> 00:10:10,100
\nof his character and his being
\nand see. <\/p>\n

125
\n00:10:10,100 –> 00:10:13,300
\nThat’s why I don’t like the
\nmirror instead of reflecting the<\/p>\n

126
\n00:10:13,300 –> 00:10:16,900
\nSon of God, instead of
\nreflecting the father, it still <\/p>\n

127
\n00:10:16,900 –> 00:10:21,900
\nreflects me and that’s something
\nI Need to deal with as do you, <\/p>\n

128
\n00:10:22,000 –> 00:10:27,400
\nand, and it really brings it to
\nSunday morning, doesn’t it? <\/p>\n

129
\n00:10:30,100 –> 00:10:34,000
\nThink about Paul’s words,
\nconcerning the emblems before us<\/p>\n

130
\n00:10:34,600 –> 00:10:39,700
\nand surprisingly, he picks up
\nthis theme. 1st Corinthians, <\/p>\n

131
\n00:10:39,700 –> 00:10:44,200
\n11:28.
\nBut let a man examine himself <\/p>\n

132
\n00:10:44,200 –> 00:10:48,300
\nand so let him eat of that bread
\nand drink of that cup. <\/p>\n

133
\n00:10:50,000 –> 00:10:54,400
\nKane forgot, whose image, he was
\nand because of that, only <\/p>\n

134
\n00:10:54,400 –> 00:10:58,500
\nsorrowful followed.
\nBut here this morning brothers <\/p>\n

135
\n00:10:58,500 –> 00:11:01,200
\nand sisters, we think of the
\nimage. <\/p>\n

136
\n00:11:01,200 –> 00:11:06,000
\nWe are to follow to have an us.
\nWe think of the image we should <\/p>\n

137
\n00:11:06,000 –> 00:11:08,000
\nbe.
\nWhen we look at the emblems, the<\/p>\n

138
\n00:11:08,000 –> 00:11:12,200
\nbread and the wine.
\nAnd it’s actually a bigger issue<\/p>\n

139
\n00:11:12,600 –> 00:11:14,800
\nin the Brotherhood among
\nourselves. <\/p>\n

140
\n00:11:18,500 –> 00:11:21,500
\nIn Colossians 1:15.
\nSpeaking of Jesus. <\/p>\n

141
\n00:11:23,700 –> 00:11:27,500
\nIt speaks of who is the image of
\nthe invisible? <\/p>\n

142
\n00:11:27,600 –> 00:11:30,900
\nGod, we’re going to get back to
\nthe emblems in a moment. <\/p>\n

143
\n00:11:31,600 –> 00:11:35,900
\nWho is the image?
\nOf the invisible. <\/p>\n

144
\n00:11:36,900 –> 00:11:40,100
\nNow.
\nHow can you make an image of <\/p>\n

145
\n00:11:40,100 –> 00:11:47,700
\nsomething that’s invisible?
\nIsn’t that impossible? <\/p>\n

146
\n00:11:49,300 –> 00:11:52,400
\nYou think a dams talk a few
\nweeks ago where he is talking <\/p>\n

147
\n00:11:52,400 –> 00:11:56,000
\nabout?
\nHis plans and the image. <\/p>\n

148
\n00:11:56,000 –> 00:12:00,200
\nIt is mind of building this
\nPodium and how he took something<\/p>\n

149
\n00:12:00,200 –> 00:12:03,900
\nthat was on paper until it’s
\nbeen realized it in a physical <\/p>\n

150
\n00:12:03,900 –> 00:12:10,700
\nform which I’m standing behind.
\nHow would an have done making <\/p>\n

151
\n00:12:10,700 –> 00:12:13,700
\nthis if his pattern was
\ninvisible? <\/p>\n

152
\n00:12:16,600 –> 00:12:18,200
\nIt’s a tall order.
\nIsn’t it? <\/p>\n

153
\n00:12:19,200 –> 00:12:22,900
\nCan you make an image of
\nsomething that’s invisible? <\/p>\n

154
\n00:12:24,800 –> 00:12:31,700
\nIt is impossible. if we were
\ntrying to make an image, If we <\/p>\n

155
\n00:12:31,700 –> 00:12:37,600
\nwere trying to make a
\nrepresentation and then fill it <\/p>\n

156
\n00:12:37,600 –> 00:12:42,800
\nin shape, it sand, it paint it
\nstain it, and present it before <\/p>\n

157
\n00:12:42,800 –> 00:12:47,700
\nyou like the podium.
\nAnd see that desire to see the <\/p>\n

158
\n00:12:47,700 –> 00:12:52,500
\noutward is the problem.
\nThe Apostle Philip made the same<\/p>\n

159
\n00:12:52,500 –> 00:12:58,800
\nmistake and John 14.
\nVerse 8, Philip says, Lord let <\/p>\n

160
\n00:12:58,800 –> 00:13:02,900
\nus see the father and we have
\nneed of nothing more. <\/p>\n

161
\n00:13:04,800 –> 00:13:07,600
\nThat’s not what Philip needed.
\nPhilip needed to see the <\/p>\n

162
\n00:13:07,600 –> 00:13:12,500
\ninvisible, the real essence of
\nthe father, not the physical. <\/p>\n

163
\n00:13:13,500 –> 00:13:17,900
\nAnd Jesus said, have I been with
\nyou so long and you haven’t seen<\/p>\n

164
\n00:13:17,900 –> 00:13:21,400
\nit.
\nRight now, I’m looking at about <\/p>\n

165
\n00:13:21,400 –> 00:13:25,600
\n50 faces.
\nAll of you. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:13:27,000 –> 00:13:32,900
\nOur representative of our
\nfather, all of us were made in <\/p>\n

167
\n00:13:32,900 –> 00:13:38,600
\nHis image are young or old male,
\nfemale children, teens. <\/p>\n

168
\n00:13:38,600 –> 00:13:41,600
\nMiddle-aged seniors were all
\nhere. <\/p>\n

169
\n00:13:42,700 –> 00:13:47,900
\nAnd even those outside the wall
\nare made in the outward image of<\/p>\n

170
\n00:13:47,900 –> 00:13:52,000
\nthe father.
\nBut we all know that doesn’t <\/p>\n

171
\n00:13:52,000 –> 00:13:55,200
\nmatter.
\nIt’s what’s inside. <\/p>\n

172
\n00:13:55,800 –> 00:14:00,900
\nIt’s the invisible, which we
\nneed to be seeking Greek says, <\/p>\n

173
\n00:14:00,900 –> 00:14:05,200
\nthe Greek word says that which
\ncannot be seen with your eyes, <\/p>\n

174
\n00:14:06,100 –> 00:14:09,100
\nPhilip thought seeing the
\nexternal was enough and it <\/p>\n

175
\n00:14:09,100 –> 00:14:14,700
\nwasn’t So if I asked you then
\nnow that we’re thinking of the <\/p>\n

176
\n00:14:14,700 –> 00:14:18,400
\nn-word draw me a picture of
\nlove. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:14:21,100 –> 00:14:26,700
\nDraw me a picture of Julie.
\nI asked my Sunday school <\/p>\n

178
\n00:14:26,700 –> 00:14:28,500
\nstudents.
\nCan you draw me a picture of <\/p>\n

179
\n00:14:28,500 –> 00:14:36,700
\nglory and mercy, you can’t,
\nthey’re abstract Concepts, but <\/p>\n

180
\n00:14:36,700 –> 00:14:41,500
\nwhat you can do to illustrate it
\nis, you can illustrate love a <\/p>\n

181
\n00:14:41,500 –> 00:14:46,100
\npicture that shows love, it,
\nshows this affects it shows, <\/p>\n

182
\n00:14:46,100 –> 00:14:50,200
\nlove in action, or Mercy or
\nkindness or goodness. <\/p>\n

183
\n00:14:51,000 –> 00:14:55,200
\nWe can show the effects of it.
\nYou can’t draw a concept. <\/p>\n

184
\n00:14:55,300 –> 00:15:00,200
\nDepth.
\nSo how do we see it? <\/p>\n

185
\n00:15:02,000 –> 00:15:07,600
\nJohn 14, verse 9, Jesus said, as
\nwe kind of alluded to he that <\/p>\n

186
\n00:15:07,600 –> 00:15:11,400
\nhath seen me set this to Phillip
\nhath. <\/p>\n

187
\n00:15:11,400 –> 00:15:16,800
\nSeen the father wasn’t the
\noutward, but the heart, the <\/p>\n

188
\n00:15:16,800 –> 00:15:24,100
\nsoul, the spirit, Jesus
\nrepresented, the father. and so <\/p>\n

189
\n00:15:24,100 –> 00:15:27,700
\nnow when we go back to the
\nemblems that passage, I read <\/p>\n

190
\n00:15:27,700 –> 00:15:31,700
\nearlier, Let a man examine
\nhimself. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:15:32,600 –> 00:15:35,600
\nAnd let him eat of that bread
\nand drink of that cup. <\/p>\n

192
\n00:15:37,900 –> 00:15:41,700
\nYou know, that little passage
\nhas caused more problems. <\/p>\n

193
\n00:15:43,300 –> 00:15:47,600
\nBecause you might be feeling at
\nthis morning, you come here this<\/p>\n

194
\n00:15:47,600 –> 00:15:50,600
\nmorning and you’ve examined
\nyourself and you really feel <\/p>\n

195
\n00:15:50,600 –> 00:15:54,300
\nunworthy.
\nSome brothers and sisters stop <\/p>\n

196
\n00:15:54,300 –> 00:15:57,800
\ncoming to meeting because they
\ncan’t examine themselves <\/p>\n

197
\n00:15:58,100 –> 00:16:01,400
\nhonestly.
\nAnd live with it to live with <\/p>\n

198
\n00:16:01,400 –> 00:16:05,900
\nthat image that they see.
\nAnd they actually stay away from<\/p>\n

199
\n00:16:05,900 –> 00:16:09,000
\nthe bread and the wine they stay
\naway from other brothers and <\/p>\n

200
\n00:16:09,000 –> 00:16:13,500
\nsisters who were trying to be
\nlike the father and that’s a <\/p>\n

201
\n00:16:13,500 –> 00:16:16,000
\nproblem.
\nNow, I’ve Heard lots of <\/p>\n

202
\n00:16:16,000 –> 00:16:19,900
\nexplanations of that, let a man
\nexamine himself, but I’m going <\/p>\n

203
\n00:16:19,900 –> 00:16:24,300
\nto suggest to you, the easiest,
\nIs right there in Corinthians. <\/p>\n

204
\n00:16:24,800 –> 00:16:29,700
\nIf we just let Corinthians
\ninterpret Corinthians and second<\/p>\n

205
\n00:16:29,700 –> 00:16:35,700
\nCorinthians 13, verse 5, we read
\nExamine yourselves. <\/p>\n

206
\n00:16:36,700 –> 00:16:43,500
\nWhether ye be in the faith.
\nProve your own selves know ye <\/p>\n

207
\n00:16:43,500 –> 00:16:48,300
\nnot that your own selves, how
\nthat Jesus Christ is in. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:16:48,600 –> 00:16:55,100
\nYou see at the table of the
\nLord, This is where we <\/p>\n

209
\n00:16:55,100 –> 00:16:57,400
\nacknowledge.
\nThis is where we desire is. <\/p>\n

210
\n00:16:57,400 –> 00:17:01,100
\nWe’ve just some, even our
\nopening hymn filled thou, my <\/p>\n

211
\n00:17:01,100 –> 00:17:05,200
\nheart O Lord, with praise.
\nThis is where we acknowledge our<\/p>\n

212
\n00:17:05,200 –> 00:17:09,300
\nfailings, and we pray for the
\nLord to fill us. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:17:10,800 –> 00:17:16,599
\nThis is where we recognize that
\nJesus is working in us that he <\/p>\n

214
\n00:17:16,599 –> 00:17:23,200
\nwants to work in us and to be in
\nUS. <\/p>\n

215
\n00:17:25,599 –> 00:17:28,900
\nThis is where we Show brothers
\nand sisters that we want to be <\/p>\n

216
\n00:17:28,900 –> 00:17:35,300
\npart of that, glorious body.
\nYou know, despite the week you <\/p>\n

217
\n00:17:35,300 –> 00:17:38,200
\nmay have had whether it was good
\nor bad. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:17:39,900 –> 00:17:43,200
\nThe bottom line is you’re here
\nbecause you want to renew your <\/p>\n

219
\n00:17:43,200 –> 00:17:49,000
\ncommitment.
\nYou desire to stay in the body <\/p>\n

220
\n00:17:49,400 –> 00:17:54,200
\nof Our Lord.
\nBeing here is the proof. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:17:57,200 –> 00:18:04,900
\nSo, Paul to the Ephesians says,
\nBe ye renewed in the spirit of <\/p>\n

222
\n00:18:04,900 –> 00:18:10,300
\nyour mind and, and the key word
\nthere is the word, renewed. <\/p>\n

223
\n00:18:10,900 –> 00:18:15,400
\nIt implies something that
\nslipping something that needs to<\/p>\n

224
\n00:18:15,400 –> 00:18:20,000
\nbe strengthened something that
\nneeds attention. <\/p>\n

225
\n00:18:21,500 –> 00:18:23,500
\nAnd here’s where we identify
\nthat. <\/p>\n

226
\n00:18:25,100 –> 00:18:27,400
\nAnd try to deal with it in the
\nweek to come. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:18:28,000 –> 00:18:31,800
\nHere’s the crooks when we’ve had
\na bad week, we may not feel like<\/p>\n

228
\n00:18:31,800 –> 00:18:35,600
\nwe can break bread and that’s
\nabsolutely wrong. <\/p>\n

229
\n00:18:37,900 –> 00:18:41,300
\nGalatians 5:17 and listen
\ncarefully. <\/p>\n

230
\n00:18:41,300 –> 00:18:44,800
\nWe’re going to come back to this
\nverse this is from Weymouth <\/p>\n

231
\n00:18:44,800 –> 00:18:53,200
\ntranslation Galatians 5:17.
\nFor the craving of our lower <\/p>\n

232
\n00:18:53,200 –> 00:19:00,200
\nnature, or opposed to those of
\nthe spirit. and the Cravings of <\/p>\n

233
\n00:19:00,200 –> 00:19:06,000
\nthe spirit or opposed to those
\nof the lower nature because <\/p>\n

234
\n00:19:06,000 –> 00:19:10,600
\nthese Are antagonistic to each
\nother. <\/p>\n

235
\n00:19:13,100 –> 00:19:15,100
\nWe all understand Cravings,
\nright? <\/p>\n

236
\n00:19:15,400 –> 00:19:18,500
\nCould be as simple as wanting,
\nanother potato chip. <\/p>\n

237
\n00:19:21,200 –> 00:19:25,100
\nWe know that Cravings like
\ngravity can pull us. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:19:25,200 –> 00:19:30,600
\nIf we allow it away from the
\nfather, Cravings can pull us <\/p>\n

239
\n00:19:30,700 –> 00:19:34,200
\naway from the body, the path
\nthat were walking on. <\/p>\n

240
\n00:19:35,400 –> 00:19:40,900
\nAnd so as we talk about our week
\nin our failings or need to try <\/p>\n

241
\n00:19:40,900 –> 00:19:44,000
\nagain, I’d like to share a
\nsecret with you. <\/p>\n

242
\n00:19:46,100 –> 00:19:49,500
\nA true secret and maybe it’ll be
\na little eye-opening for you. <\/p>\n

243
\n00:19:52,100 –> 00:19:56,600
\nNone of us.
\nNone of us have the <\/p>\n

244
\n00:19:56,600 –> 00:19:59,600
\nself-control.
\nWe wish we had. <\/p>\n

245
\n00:20:00,500 –> 00:20:04,600
\nWe think we should have None of
\nus. <\/p>\n

246
\n00:20:05,200 –> 00:20:08,700
\nYou look around.
\nI brothers and sisters who you <\/p>\n

247
\n00:20:08,700 –> 00:20:13,400
\nthink are strong?
\nAnd they don’t have the <\/p>\n

248
\n00:20:13,400 –> 00:20:19,400
\nself-control.
\nThey wish they had, I don’t You <\/p>\n

249
\n00:20:19,400 –> 00:20:23,300
\nknow, in a study that I just
\nread, it’s been shown that <\/p>\n

250
\n00:20:23,300 –> 00:20:26,500
\nalmost everyone.
\nAnd I just got to put the almost<\/p>\n

251
\n00:20:26,500 –> 00:20:31,600
\nin there, but I’m going to say,
\nEveryone has the same level of <\/p>\n

252
\n00:20:31,600 –> 00:20:35,900
\nself-control which in the end is
\nvery poor. <\/p>\n

253
\n00:20:37,600 –> 00:20:39,900
\nWe probably can thank Adam for
\nthat. <\/p>\n

254
\n00:20:40,600 –> 00:20:45,000
\nWe all have the same level of
\nself-control, but here’s the <\/p>\n

255
\n00:20:45,000 –> 00:20:48,900
\ndifference in their studies.
\nWhen they tested people, who <\/p>\n

256
\n00:20:48,900 –> 00:20:53,000
\nsaid they had strong
\nself-control, they were good at <\/p>\n

257
\n00:20:53,000 –> 00:20:58,700
\nnot giving into something.
\nHere’s the difference, those <\/p>\n

258
\n00:20:58,700 –> 00:21:01,700
\npeople who thought they had good
\nself-control what they really <\/p>\n

259
\n00:21:01,700 –> 00:21:06,800
\nfound was it wasn’t self-control
\nbut they were good at staying <\/p>\n

260
\n00:21:06,800 –> 00:21:11,300
\naway from the desires.
\nThat’s what they were good at. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:21:11,400 –> 00:21:14,400
\nThey were good at avoiding
\nthings that would lead them to <\/p>\n

262
\n00:21:14,400 –> 00:21:17,400
\ngive in and that’s why they
\nthought they had good <\/p>\n

263
\n00:21:17,400 –> 00:21:21,100
\nself-control when they put all
\nthe strong people who thought <\/p>\n

264
\n00:21:21,100 –> 00:21:24,600
\nthey have self-control and all
\nthe people like me who have weak<\/p>\n

265
\n00:21:24,600 –> 00:21:27,600
\nself control in the same room.
\nStudied them. <\/p>\n

266
\n00:21:28,700 –> 00:21:33,500
\nThey all failed.
\nThey all had poor self-control. <\/p>\n

267
\n00:21:34,900 –> 00:21:39,100
\nThe difference is knowing to
\navoid the temptation. <\/p>\n

268
\n00:21:40,800 –> 00:21:45,200
\nI find that powerful.
\nAnd so, whatever my issues were <\/p>\n

269
\n00:21:45,200 –> 00:21:49,500
\nlast week, if I just take the
\nbiggest one in, start dealing <\/p>\n

270
\n00:21:49,500 –> 00:21:53,700
\nwith it, start avoiding
\nsituations, where that happens, <\/p>\n

271
\n00:21:54,700 –> 00:21:58,200
\nI might appear to have good
\nself-control but I know better. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:21:58,200 –> 00:22:05,600
\nI’m just avoiding the sin when I
\ntell that story, I think about <\/p>\n

273
\n00:22:05,600 –> 00:22:10,800
\nLloyd who was way ahead of his
\ntime and he told a story of mrs.<\/p>\n

274
\n00:22:10,800 –> 00:22:13,000
\nGot rocks.
\nI’m just going to tell it to <\/p>\n

275
\n00:22:13,000 –> 00:22:14,500
\nyou.
\nBriefly because it just <\/p>\n

276
\n00:22:14,500 –> 00:22:16,400
\nillustrates it better than I
\ncan. <\/p>\n

277
\n00:22:17,000 –> 00:22:22,000
\nShe was a very wealthy Widow and
\nshe needed a driver and she had <\/p>\n

278
\n00:22:22,000 –> 00:22:25,200
\nthree candidates and She
\ninterviewed all three. <\/p>\n

279
\n00:22:25,200 –> 00:22:27,900
\nAnd at the end of each interview
\nwith the three candidate, she <\/p>\n

280
\n00:22:27,900 –> 00:22:29,300
\nasked him.
\nThis question. <\/p>\n

281
\n00:22:29,700 –> 00:22:33,400
\nI know a lot of, you know, the
\nstory, but she said up on <\/p>\n

282
\n00:22:33,400 –> 00:22:38,300
\nCemetery Ridge.
\nHow close can you get your tires<\/p>\n

283
\n00:22:38,300 –> 00:22:41,500
\nto the edge, obviously, without
\ngoing off? <\/p>\n

284
\n00:22:43,300 –> 00:22:49,000
\nThe first man said I can get my
\ntires rate on the white line and<\/p>\n

285
\n00:22:49,000 –> 00:22:52,600
\nwrite it all the way around that
\ncurve with no problem. <\/p>\n

286
\n00:22:52,600 –> 00:22:56,500
\nThis is gotrocks.
\nSo she thanked him asked all the<\/p>\n

287
\n00:22:56,500 –> 00:22:59,100
\nnormal questions to the second
\nand finish with that. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:22:59,100 –> 00:23:02,800
\nSame question up on Cemetery,
\nRidge. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:23:03,300 –> 00:23:07,600
\nHow close can you get your tires
\nto the edge without going over <\/p>\n

290
\n00:23:08,200 –> 00:23:12,100
\nbecause I can get half the tire
\noff the edge with? <\/p>\n

291
\n00:23:12,200 –> 00:23:14,300
\nNo trouble mrs.
\nGot rocks. <\/p>\n

292
\n00:23:14,700 –> 00:23:19,100
\nSo she thanked him, third
\ncandidate, all the normal <\/p>\n

293
\n00:23:19,100 –> 00:23:22,700
\nquestions in the interview and
\nfinally, she ended it with up on<\/p>\n

294
\n00:23:22,700 –> 00:23:27,700
\nCemetery Ridge.
\nHow close can you get your tires<\/p>\n

295
\n00:23:27,700 –> 00:23:33,800
\nto the edge without going over?
\nAnd the answer was, I’ve never <\/p>\n

296
\n00:23:33,800 –> 00:23:38,000
\ntried.
\nWho do you think got the job <\/p>\n

297
\n00:23:38,000 –> 00:23:42,300
\nsaid, Uncle Bob?
\nIt’s the one who avoided it. <\/p>\n

298
\n00:23:43,500 –> 00:23:50,300
\nHow simple lesson that is to
\nkeep us with God’s image intact <\/p>\n

299
\n00:23:50,300 –> 00:23:53,800
\nin US?
\nAvoid the Temptations. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:23:54,100 –> 00:23:57,400
\nThat’s what self-control really
\nis. <\/p>\n

301
\n00:23:57,900 –> 00:24:02,500
\nSo if you’ve struggled last
\nweek, Don’t beat yourself up. <\/p>\n

302
\n00:24:03,400 –> 00:24:08,600
\nThe simplest way forward is to
\nidentify your Temptations, and <\/p>\n

303
\n00:24:08,600 –> 00:24:13,200
\nthen take them on one at a time.
\nLearn the best way to avoid it, <\/p>\n

304
\n00:24:14,200 –> 00:24:18,400
\nyou know, an alcoholic learns,
\nwhen he’s recovering you go <\/p>\n

305
\n00:24:18,400 –> 00:24:20,900
\nhome, a different route, you
\nwill avoid the bar. <\/p>\n

306
\n00:24:21,200 –> 00:24:25,100
\nYou avoid the friends that bring
\nyou to the bar, whatever it is <\/p>\n

307
\n00:24:25,100 –> 00:24:27,200
\nthat gets you into drinking
\nagain. <\/p>\n

308
\n00:24:27,400 –> 00:24:30,100
\nYou just avoid it.
\nSome people move. <\/p>\n

309
\n00:24:30,700 –> 00:24:35,300
\nSome people have changed jobs
\nbecause they want to avoid a <\/p>\n

310
\n00:24:35,300 –> 00:24:38,800
\nTemptation that they think is
\ndestructive. <\/p>\n

311
\n00:24:40,800 –> 00:24:48,400
\nHow much more should we?
\nSo this morning, we talked about<\/p>\n

312
\n00:24:48,400 –> 00:24:52,400
\nself-control and our need to
\nrecalibrate fix the things that <\/p>\n

313
\n00:24:52,400 –> 00:24:57,000
\nhave been slipping. but let’s
\nget back to that verse in <\/p>\n

314
\n00:24:57,000 –> 00:25:02,800
\nGalatians and I’m going to read
\nit now from the King James Think<\/p>\n

315
\n00:25:02,800 –> 00:25:10,400
\nabout what he’s telling us.
\nGalatians 5:17 for the flesh, <\/p>\n

316
\n00:25:10,800 –> 00:25:16,300
\nlusteth against the spirit, and
\nthe spirit against the flesh. <\/p>\n

317
\n00:25:17,800 –> 00:25:21,000
\nSo, let’s talk about desires and
\nCravings. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:25:21,000 –> 00:25:25,900
\nOnce more, you either think of
\nyourself or you think of someone<\/p>\n

319
\n00:25:25,900 –> 00:25:29,900
\nelse who’s in the midst of
\nreally craving something, <\/p>\n

320
\n00:25:30,500 –> 00:25:34,100
\nwhether it’s a potato chip, or
\nwhether it’s alcohol or <\/p>\n

321
\n00:25:34,100 –> 00:25:39,000
\nsomething else, a substance that
\nthey’re addicted to get that <\/p>\n

322
\n00:25:39,000 –> 00:25:42,900
\nimage in your mind of somebody
\nwho’s craving something. <\/p>\n

323
\n00:25:43,400 –> 00:25:45,100
\nAll right, so just give that a
\nminute. <\/p>\n

324
\n00:25:46,200 –> 00:25:49,800
\nThink about how strong that
\ncraving is. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:25:51,800 –> 00:25:53,300
\nYou have it in your mind, you’re
\nready? <\/p>\n

326
\n00:25:56,800 –> 00:26:02,400
\nThe power of that craving.
\nWe just read is the same power <\/p>\n

327
\n00:26:02,400 –> 00:26:08,300
\nthat God, craves you.
\nThat same craving, somebody has <\/p>\n

328
\n00:26:08,300 –> 00:26:12,800
\nfor a substance is the same.
\nCraving says Paul to the <\/p>\n

329
\n00:26:12,800 –> 00:26:17,700
\nGalatians that the father has
\ntowards you to bring you here to<\/p>\n

330
\n00:26:17,700 –> 00:26:23,200
\nsave you, to fill you with his
\nglory, that same almost <\/p>\n

331
\n00:26:23,200 –> 00:26:28,800
\ndesperate craving for you.
\nIs what Paul says, the father <\/p>\n

332
\n00:26:28,800 –> 00:26:34,900
\nhas towards us.
\nHow could we not want to be part<\/p>\n

333
\n00:26:34,900 –> 00:26:40,300
\nof his body?
\nWhat are reason to avoid <\/p>\n

334
\n00:26:40,300 –> 00:26:42,700
\nTemptation and our own
\nweaknesses. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:26:43,200 –> 00:26:48,200
\nThe father wants you.
\nSo badly says, Paul, he’s <\/p>\n

336
\n00:26:48,400 –> 00:26:55,400
\ncraving you so when you sin
\nknowing that don’t you think <\/p>\n

337
\n00:26:55,400 –> 00:27:00,300
\nthat if you pray to the father
\nto help remove the first <\/p>\n

338
\n00:27:00,300 –> 00:27:05,200
\nTemptation you’re dealing with
\nThat he’s not going to help. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:27:06,400 –> 00:27:12,800
\nI’ll do anything to save you.
\nPut it to him in prayer again <\/p>\n

340
\n00:27:13,800 –> 00:27:18,000
\nand again.
\nAll the things that trip us up <\/p>\n

341
\n00:27:18,000 –> 00:27:22,800
\nthat make us slip that need
\nrecalibration and our spiritual <\/p>\n

342
\n00:27:23,200 –> 00:27:26,800
\nMinds.
\nPut to the father in prayer. <\/p>\n

343
\n00:27:28,200 –> 00:27:33,300
\nAnd he will answer you and when
\nhe starts helping you do your <\/p>\n

344
\n00:27:33,300 –> 00:27:38,600
\nbest to avoid going back work
\nwith the father because he’s <\/p>\n

345
\n00:27:38,600 –> 00:27:46,100
\nthey’re working with you.
\nThe more we fill our image with <\/p>\n

346
\n00:27:46,100 –> 00:27:50,400
\nGod’s character.
\nThe better, our decisions down <\/p>\n

347
\n00:27:50,400 –> 00:27:54,900
\nthe road will be, we will become
\nmore like him. <\/p>\n

348
\n00:27:55,300 –> 00:28:01,000
\nWe will think more like him.
\nTalking about a mirror. <\/p>\n

349
\n00:28:03,600 –> 00:28:06,200
\nThink of what Paul wrote to the
\nCorinthians. <\/p>\n

350
\n00:28:06,600 –> 00:28:11,000
\nIts first Corinthians, 13:12
\nPaul’s talking about a mirror <\/p>\n

351
\n00:28:12,200 –> 00:28:16,200
\nand think about what he’s
\nsaying, First Corinthians 13:12 <\/p>\n

352
\n00:28:16,400 –> 00:28:23,800
\nfor now we see in a mirror
\nDarkly, but then face to face, <\/p>\n

353
\n00:28:25,600 –> 00:28:28,800
\nYou see what Paul is saying?
\nHe’s saying his mirrors just as <\/p>\n

354
\n00:28:28,800 –> 00:28:32,300
\nclouded his mind just as broken,
\nit’s dark. <\/p>\n

355
\n00:28:32,400 –> 00:28:34,800
\nAll I see is me.
\nNot the father. <\/p>\n

356
\n00:28:36,400 –> 00:28:40,700
\nAnd that’s all Paul saw.
\nHis mirror was dark, it was not <\/p>\n

357
\n00:28:40,700 –> 00:28:45,300
\na clear reflection.
\nPaul struggled with the things <\/p>\n

358
\n00:28:45,300 –> 00:28:51,700
\nwere struggling with. but he
\ntells us how to overcome and <\/p>\n

359
\n00:28:51,700 –> 00:28:56,100
\nPaul followed his own advice.
\nPaul said, we need to be led by <\/p>\n

360
\n00:28:56,100 –> 00:29:00,300
\nthe spirit.
\nAnd in Galatians 5:25, he says, <\/p>\n

361
\n00:29:00,300 –> 00:29:04,400
\nwe need to walk in the spirit.
\nAnd and here’s the other thing, <\/p>\n

362
\n00:29:04,900 –> 00:29:09,700
\nwe all together, our images of
\nthe father, But Galatians says, <\/p>\n

363
\n00:29:09,700 –> 00:29:14,400
\nnot only do we walk as
\nindividuals to the kingdom that <\/p>\n

364
\n00:29:14,400 –> 00:29:19,600
\nword, walk means to be drawn up
\ninto a line together. <\/p>\n

365
\n00:29:21,300 –> 00:29:27,100
\nPaul saying we are all marching
\nfollowing the spirit together. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:29:27,700 –> 00:29:33,800
\nNever think you’re alone.
\nWe are all marching together. <\/p>\n

367
\n00:29:34,100 –> 00:29:38,100
\nSays Galatians 5:25.
\nWe’re not alone. <\/p>\n

368
\n00:29:38,300 –> 00:29:42,700
\nWe bear each other’s burdens.
\nWe lift each other up because we<\/p>\n

369
\n00:29:42,700 –> 00:29:46,500
\nare all walking to the kingdom
\ntogether. <\/p>\n

370
\n00:29:49,600 –> 00:29:51,400
\nAnd that’s why we need to be
\nhere. <\/p>\n

371
\n00:29:52,500 –> 00:29:57,800
\nYou know, I spent weeks at home
\nwatching this And it’s not the <\/p>\n

372
\n00:29:57,800 –> 00:30:04,000
\nsame as being here in person.
\nIt just isn’t when you’re here, <\/p>\n

373
\n00:30:04,000 –> 00:30:07,600
\nyou truly feel like you’re
\nwalking together. <\/p>\n

374
\n00:30:08,300 –> 00:30:13,000
\nYou’re listening to each other,
\nyou’re strengthening each other,<\/p>\n

375
\n00:30:13,000 –> 00:30:19,400
\njust by being here, just by
\ntalking about a week behind and <\/p>\n

376
\n00:30:19,400 –> 00:30:23,700
\nthe week that’s coming up. and
\nif we’re walking in the spirit, <\/p>\n

377
\n00:30:24,900 –> 00:30:28,400
\nwe’re making progress.
\nWe’re moving forward. <\/p>\n

378
\n00:30:28,800 –> 00:30:34,200
\nWe are all moving forward
\ntogether, leaving or <\/p>\n

379
\n00:30:34,200 –> 00:30:39,200
\ndifficulties behind.
\nAnd finally, I want to give you <\/p>\n

380
\n00:30:39,200 –> 00:30:42,200
\none more help.
\nYou’re all familiar with the <\/p>\n

381
\n00:30:42,200 –> 00:30:46,000
\nproverb as a man thinketh in his
\nheart. <\/p>\n

382
\n00:30:46,300 –> 00:30:52,800
\nSo is he?
\nI read a lot and science has <\/p>\n

383
\n00:30:52,800 –> 00:30:56,800
\njust proven that.
\nWhat Solomon said is true as a <\/p>\n

384
\n00:30:56,800 –> 00:30:59,300
\nman thinketh in his heart.
\nSo is he? <\/p>\n

385
\n00:31:03,000 –> 00:31:06,300
\nThere’s a study can.
\nSorry, I’m showing I like to <\/p>\n

386
\n00:31:06,300 –> 00:31:09,300
\nread a lot.
\nThe study was entitled words can<\/p>\n

387
\n00:31:09,300 –> 00:31:13,300
\nchange your brain by dr.
\nAndrew Newberg. <\/p>\n

388
\n00:31:15,900 –> 00:31:22,100
\nWords like love peace.
\nHappiness. <\/p>\n

389
\n00:31:23,300 –> 00:31:28,600
\nWhen you use those words
\nyourself, when you say those <\/p>\n

390
\n00:31:28,600 –> 00:31:34,100
\nwords yourself, you actually
\ntrigger the brain to take you <\/p>\n

391
\n00:31:34,100 –> 00:31:37,400
\ndown that path.
\nYour brain, really loose <\/p>\n

392
\n00:31:37,400 –> 00:31:42,800
\nreleases chemicals, that
\nsupport, that mindset, that <\/p>\n

393
\n00:31:42,800 –> 00:31:46,100
\nsupport the words you’re using
\nand just the opposite. <\/p>\n

394
\n00:31:46,100 –> 00:31:51,300
\nWhen you use negative words that
\nthe fear section of your brain, <\/p>\n

395
\n00:31:51,300 –> 00:31:54,700
\nI won’t bother pronouncing it.
\nBecause I can’t but the fear <\/p>\n

396
\n00:31:54,700 –> 00:32:01,200
\ncenters then triggered and the
\nchemicals that support fear and <\/p>\n

397
\n00:32:01,200 –> 00:32:04,000
\nstress are released in your
\nbody. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:32:04,800 –> 00:32:10,700
\nJust by the words, you were
\nsaying happy words and they’ve <\/p>\n

399
\n00:32:10,700 –> 00:32:14,000
\nlooked at the blood and the
\nchemicals are released to <\/p>\n

400
\n00:32:14,000 –> 00:32:18,800
\nsupport it nervous.
\nCalm fearful words and your body<\/p>\n

401
\n00:32:18,800 –> 00:32:23,100
\ngoes that direction.
\nIsn’t it amazing? <\/p>\n

402
\n00:32:23,100 –> 00:32:26,200
\nAs a man thinketh in his heart.
\nSo is he? <\/p>\n

403
\n00:32:27,900 –> 00:32:30,100
\nWhat words are you filling your
\nbrain with? <\/p>\n

404
\n00:32:31,600 –> 00:32:34,600
\nwhether you say them or you’re
\nwatching on the screen and it <\/p>\n

405
\n00:32:34,600 –> 00:32:38,800
\nsays, if you were there, Are you
\nsaying words that will lead you <\/p>\n

406
\n00:32:38,800 –> 00:32:41,900
\nto the kingdom to the mindset of
\nOur Lord? <\/p>\n

407
\n00:32:42,000 –> 00:32:44,000
\nAre you filling your image with
\nthat? <\/p>\n

408
\n00:32:45,600 –> 00:32:48,200
\nAre you filling up with things?
\nThat draw us away. <\/p>\n

409
\n00:32:50,100 –> 00:32:53,200
\nI would love for us all to start
\ntomorrow morning with these <\/p>\n

410
\n00:32:53,200 –> 00:32:56,600
\nwords.
\nI can do all things through <\/p>\n

411
\n00:32:56,600 –> 00:32:59,600
\nChrist, Jesus, who strengthens
\nme. <\/p>\n

412
\n00:33:01,500 –> 00:33:07,100
\nAnd so brothers and sisters the
\ntable before us reminds us that <\/p>\n

413
\n00:33:07,100 –> 00:33:12,800
\nwe’re all part of Jesus.
\nOur brothers and sisters and our<\/p>\n

414
\n00:33:12,800 –> 00:33:17,100
\nyoung people sitting around you
\nthis morning, should remind you <\/p>\n

415
\n00:33:17,100 –> 00:33:21,700
\nthat you’re not alone.
\nThat each one of us are in it <\/p>\n

416
\n00:33:21,700 –> 00:33:25,200
\ntogether.
\nThe people outside the Wolves <\/p>\n

417
\n00:33:25,200 –> 00:33:29,600
\nhere who bear, God’s image?
\nShould remind us that they need <\/p>\n

418
\n00:33:29,600 –> 00:33:32,300
\nhelp.
\nThat they need to reflect not <\/p>\n

419
\n00:33:32,300 –> 00:33:37,400
\nthemselves, but the father and
\nwe can start breathing those <\/p>\n

420
\n00:33:37,400 –> 00:33:43,100
\nwords into them.
\nBrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

421
\n00:33:43,100 –> 00:33:47,600
\nWhen you come here this morning,
\nit shows your commitment to <\/p>\n

422
\n00:33:47,600 –> 00:33:52,400
\nbelong to Jesus body.
\nIt shows your need to share the <\/p>\n

423
\n00:33:52,400 –> 00:33:57,900
\nemblems to fill yourself as it
\nwere symbolically with our Lord.<\/p>\n

424
\n00:34:00,000 –> 00:34:02,000
\nThis morning.
\nYou should remember that none of<\/p>\n

425
\n00:34:02,000 –> 00:34:07,200
\nus are good enough.
\nThat we all fail, but we all <\/p>\n

426
\n00:34:07,200 –> 00:34:12,699
\nneed to press on and not give
\nup. and maybe the last lesson <\/p>\n

427
\n00:34:12,699 –> 00:34:18,300
\nthat I find the most important
\nis Your heavenly father, truly <\/p>\n

429
\n00:34:24,500 –> 00:34:29,699
\nnature and to share that, with
\nhis Immortal sun, he will <\/p>\n

430
\n00:34:29,699 –> 00:34:36,400
\nforgive you anything.

\npassage, our God is a becoming
\nGod. <\/p>\n

434
\n00:34:48,100 –> 00:34:50,199

\nname of the Lord means. <\/p>\n

\nI will be in whom I will be God
