4
\n00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,400
\ntaco week to help us get the

\nWe post a new episode of the
\nstart of each week with a short <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:31,000
\nintro before.
\nHand to kind of set the stage <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:31,000 –> 00:00:33,600
\nfor the talk.
\nYou’re about to listen to and <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:51,500
\nnow let’s talk more about this
\nweek’s talk for this week. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:51,500 –> 00:00:55,800
\nWe’re listening to an excitation
\nthat was given June 18th just a <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:55,800 –> 00:00:59,700
\nfew weeks ago which was also
\nFather’s Day here in the United <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:59,700 –> 00:01:02,000
\nStates.
\nIt’s this excitation was given <\/p>\n

12
\n00:01:02,000 –> 00:01:05,400
\nby Brother Russ, Patterson at
\nthe verdugo’s Ecclesia and was <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:05,400 –> 00:01:10,000
\nsent in by several people.
\nAs a recommendation, brother, <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:10,000 –> 00:01:13,600
\nRuss pulled both from a special
\nreading that he requested. <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:13,600 –> 00:01:17,900
\nPsalm 103 and then also a him
\nthat he requested as well. <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:17,900 –> 00:01:20,200
\nHim 395 out of the green hymn
\nbook. <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:20,200 –> 00:01:24,300
\nSo if you want to look at either
\nof those so you know some of the<\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:24,300 –> 00:01:26,400
\ncontext of this excitation feel
\nfree. <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:28,000 –> 00:01:31,300
\nA little background on this
\nbecause it this is a special <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:31,300 –> 00:01:35,200
\nexcitation that brother.
\nRuss is giving brother, Russ has<\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:35,200 –> 00:01:38,800
\nbeen a pillar of Verdugo Hills
\nfor many many years. <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:39,200 –> 00:01:42,500
\nHe makes a joke about being one
\nof the oldest exhort errs that <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:42,500 –> 00:01:45,000
\nthe Ecclesia has ever had.
\nWhen he gave this extra tation, <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:45,700 –> 00:01:49,600
\nbut he hasn’t exhorted ever, do
\ngo and close to four years since<\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:49,600 –> 00:01:53,500
\nthe lockdown surrounding covid.
\nAnd the topic of his excitation <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:53,500 –> 00:01:59,700
\nis joy, and in a way this
\nexcitation could almost be <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:59,700 –> 00:02:04,500
\ndescribed as brother russes
\napproach to life in the truth <\/p>\n

28
\n00:02:04,600 –> 00:02:07,400
\nand the way that he approaches
\nhis hope and the joy that he <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:07,400 –> 00:02:12,700
\nfeels because what he describes
\nin this excitation, Embodies who<\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:12,700 –> 00:02:16,000
\nhe is.
\nThere is a joy and enthusiasm <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:16,300 –> 00:02:18,600
\nthat rust brings to everything
\nthat he does. <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:19,500 –> 00:02:22,200
\nHe is just as outgoing and
\nfriendly. <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:22,500 –> 00:02:25,600
\nNow, as ever whenever you see
\nhim, he always wants to talk to <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:25,600 –> 00:02:30,000
\nyou and wants to know how you
\nwere doing, and he has this <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:30,000 –> 00:02:33,100
\npassion and enthusiasm about the
\nhope that we have. <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:33,200 –> 00:02:36,000
\nAnd the idea of sharing that
\nwith everyone and anyone that he<\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:36,000 –> 00:02:40,300
\ncan, he can do that with.
\nSo, if you haven’t met brother <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:40,300 –> 00:02:43,100
\nRuss before, and I realize a lot
\nof you may not have this <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:43,100 –> 00:02:45,700
\nexcitation as a perfect
\nembodiment of who this brother <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:45,700 –> 00:02:51,500
\nis, and it is just an incredibly
\nencouraging, excitation one that<\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:51,500 –> 00:02:53,900
\nI think I’ll come back to and
\nlisten, especially when I’m <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:53,900 –> 00:02:57,300
\nfeeling and struggling because
\nit is just a good reminder of <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:57,300 –> 00:03:00,900
\nwhat an amazing joy we have in
\nthe hope that we all have <\/p>\n

44
\n00:03:00,900 –> 00:03:03,000
\ntogether.
\nSo thank you to those who <\/p>\n

\n00:04:07,200 –> 00:04:09,800
\nas much as I did on the subject
\nof Joy. <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:11,600 –> 00:04:16,500
\nGood morning, everybody and
\nHappy, Father’s Day to all you <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:16,899 –> 00:04:22,900
\nwonderful father’s out there.
\nApparently this is MM first, <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:22,900 –> 00:04:26,000
\nyou’ve never had anybody that’s
\nas old as I am speak to you <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:26,000 –> 00:04:32,300
\nbefore, not from this place.
\nSo this is a first and I hope <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:32,300 –> 00:04:34,900
\nwhen you get to you say well I’m
\nglad you came. <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:36,800 –> 00:04:41,300
\nAnyway Joy that’s a beautiful
\nsubject, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:41,500 –> 00:04:46,400
\nAnd my topic is rejoiced in the
\nLord no that’s nothing. <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:46,500 –> 00:04:52,100
\nYeah, the joy of it, the joy of
\nliving in Christ and now and <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:52,100 –> 00:04:59,000
\nBeyond it is says in Philippians
\n4:4 rejoice in the lord always <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:59,700 –> 00:05:04,600
\nand I say rejoice and I thank
\nKay for take him. <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:04,600 –> 00:05:07,200
\nTackling that him.
\nShe mentioned it was a tough one<\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:07,500 –> 00:05:09,600
\nso take care of it.
\nSure did it beautifully? <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:09,600 –> 00:05:16,000
\nThe okay, it really worked out.
\nGood, well, the Bible mention is<\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:16,000 –> 00:05:19,700
\nJoy.
\nJoyous joyfulness rejoicing at <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:19,700 –> 00:05:25,100
\nleast In 15 times.
\nAnd that makes it sound pretty <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:25,100 –> 00:05:29,000
\nimportant, doesn’t it to me,
\nrepeated that many times. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:29,600 –> 00:05:34,900
\nAnd that’s a wonderful thought,
\njoy and so far. <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:34,900 –> 00:05:38,700
\nWe’ve had a whole lot of Joy
\nalready and the readings and <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:38,700 –> 00:05:43,900
\nthat’s wonderful.
\nBut I want to quote this one <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:43,900 –> 00:05:46,300
\nverse that soap.
\nI didn’t know where to put it in<\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:46,308 –> 00:05:49,100
\nmy agitation but I wanted to put
\nit in her someplace. <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:49,600 –> 00:05:55,100
\nIt’s in Psalm 30 verse 5 weeping
\nmay endure for a night but joy <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:55,100 –> 00:06:01,500
\ncometh in the morning.
\nAnd so that’s just a nice verse <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:01,500 –> 00:06:12,800
\nto remember, okay?
\nIn the beginning, God tells his <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:12,800 –> 00:06:19,200
\npurpose in creating the Earth.
\nI’m going to quote for verses <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:19,200 –> 00:06:23,900
\nthat show this.
\nFirst ones in Revelations 411, <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:24,600 –> 00:06:29,500
\nwhich says thou has created all
\nthings and for thy pleasure or <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:29,500 –> 00:06:35,800
\nJoy, they are and were created.
\nAnd that’s a pleasure means his <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:35,800 –> 00:06:42,000
\nwill or joy.
\nIsaiah 45:18, he created the <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:42,000 –> 00:06:46,400
\nEarth, not in vain, he created
\nit to be inhabited. <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:48,100 –> 00:06:52,600
\nNumbers 14. 21 is truly as I
\nlive all the Earth shall be <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:52,600 –> 00:06:58,200
\nfilled with the glory of the
\nLord and habakkuk 2:14 for the <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:58,200 –> 00:06:59,400
\nEarth.
\nShall be filled with the <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:59,400 –> 00:07:02,800
\nknowledge of the glory of the
\nLord as the waters, cover the <\/p>\n

101
\n00:07:02,800 –> 00:07:06,300
\nsea.
\nSo we see created the Earth to <\/p>\n

102
\n00:07:06,300 –> 00:07:10,200
\nbring pleasure and joy to
\nhimself. <\/p>\n

103
\n00:07:11,400 –> 00:07:14,400
\nAnd I think to others, it is
\ninvolved. <\/p>\n

104
\n00:07:14,400 –> 00:07:19,800
\nPeople it involve the Earth, it
\ninvolves filling the Earth with <\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:19,800 –> 00:07:25,700
\nhis glory and involve people who
\nknew his purpose, that was why <\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:25,700 –> 00:07:30,300
\nhe created the Earth.
\nSo this would happen, the Earth <\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:30,300 –> 00:07:36,600
\nwould be filled with his glory,
\nwith people who knew him, and <\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:36,600 –> 00:07:41,800
\nthey understood his ways, people
\nwho are committed to Glorifying <\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:41,800 –> 00:07:44,500
\nhim and to committing their love
\nto him. <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:46,500 –> 00:07:49,900
\nAnd so the Bible we find out is
\na book of joy. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:52,200 –> 00:07:56,500
\nIf you don’t think that.
\nBut it’s a book of Joy, which <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:56,500 –> 00:08:01,000
\ntells us how we can share in
\nthat wonderful book are for <\/p>\n

113
\n00:08:01,000 –> 00:08:04,900
\nwonderful Joy.
\nThere’s much in the Bible as, <\/p>\n

114
\n00:08:04,900 –> 00:08:07,200
\nyou know, they doesn’t talk
\nabout Joy. <\/p>\n

115
\n00:08:07,500 –> 00:08:11,100
\nThere’s a lot of things in there
\nthat are not very joyous, but <\/p>\n

116
\n00:08:11,100 –> 00:08:15,000
\nthat’s not God’s fault.
\nThat’s man’s fault for their <\/p>\n

117
\n00:08:15,000 –> 00:08:18,400
\nwickedness.
\nKept would keep God from <\/p>\n

118
\n00:08:18,400 –> 00:08:22,300
\nfulfilling his purpose of
\nallotted to You so he had to <\/p>\n

119
\n00:08:22,300 –> 00:08:26,200
\nstop it and he did once severely
\nwith the flood. <\/p>\n

120
\n00:08:26,200 –> 00:08:29,400
\nDidn’t he eight?
\nPeople were saved yet. <\/p>\n

121
\n00:08:29,400 –> 00:08:34,900
\nGod had to protect his wonderful
\npurpose to fill the Earth with <\/p>\n

122
\n00:08:34,900 –> 00:08:38,400
\nhis glory because if he’ll add
\nmen to go on, that would be so <\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:38,400 –> 00:08:40,500
\nwicked.
\nHe would never happen. <\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:45,400 –> 00:08:48,400
\nThat’s why he brought the curses
\nin the flood and so forth on <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:48,400 –> 00:08:52,700
\nman.
\nBut his goodness is always <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:52,700 –> 00:08:56,900
\nthere.
\nAn example of how God desires <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:56,900 –> 00:09:00,700
\njoy in our service.
\nTo him is in Deuteronomy chapter<\/p>\n

128
\n00:09:00,700 –> 00:09:07,500
\n28, it’s a chapter that deals
\ncurses and wickedness for <\/p>\n

129
\n00:09:07,500 –> 00:09:12,100
\nIsrael, and is one verse it
\ntells why God had to bring those<\/p>\n

130
\n00:09:12,100 –> 00:09:15,400
\npurpose, those curses, that’s
\nverse 47. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:09:16,100 –> 00:09:20,500
\nIt says, because thou service,
\nnot the Lord, thy God with <\/p>\n

132
\n00:09:20,500 –> 00:09:25,000
\njoyfulness.
\nAnd with gladness of heart, Now,<\/p>\n

133
\n00:09:25,000 –> 00:09:27,600
\nthe nation’s thought that they
\nwere pleasing the Lord when they<\/p>\n

134
\n00:09:27,600 –> 00:09:31,700
\ndid sacrifices and things under
\nthe law, but they did these <\/p>\n

135
\n00:09:31,700 –> 00:09:38,300
\nthings as ends unto themselves.
\nThey didn’t do them unto God <\/p>\n

136
\n00:09:38,300 –> 00:09:42,900
\nwith joy.
\nSo they weren’t serving God, out<\/p>\n

137
\n00:09:42,900 –> 00:09:45,400
\nof joy, and the love in her
\nheart, therefore they receive <\/p>\n

138
\n00:09:45,400 –> 00:09:48,800
\ncurses.
\nAnd notice will how God says, <\/p>\n

139
\n00:09:48,800 –> 00:09:53,800
\nwhat he says about their
\nreligion and Isaiah 1. <\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:53,800 –> 00:09:59,900
\nVerse 11, we see God’s reaction
\nto their offerings and this is <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:59,900 –> 00:10:02,100
\nreally severe.
\nYou all know what it is. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:10:05,300 –> 00:10:08,200
\nHer to what purpose is the
\nmultitude of your sacrifices <\/p>\n

143
\n00:10:08,200 –> 00:10:13,400
\nunto me, says the Lord, I’m full
\nof burnt offerings of rams and <\/p>\n

144
\n00:10:13,400 –> 00:10:16,400
\nthe fat of fed Beast.
\nI Delight not in the blood of <\/p>\n

145
\n00:10:16,400 –> 00:10:20,200
\nBullock’s, or of lambs are
\nhe-goats bring no more. <\/p>\n

146
\n00:10:20,200 –> 00:10:25,000
\nVain ablations insensitive is an
\nAbomination to him. <\/p>\n

147
\n00:10:26,800 –> 00:10:29,100
\nThat’s pretty severe statements,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n

148
\n00:10:29,700 –> 00:10:34,100
\nBecause they were doing things
\nbut they were not doing them for<\/p>\n

149
\n00:10:34,100 –> 00:10:39,200
\nthe right reasons or for the
\nright purpose, there are doing <\/p>\n

150
\n00:10:39,200 –> 00:10:44,700
\nthem for themselves and not for
\nhim, we need to remember that. <\/p>\n

151
\n00:10:45,900 –> 00:10:51,700
\nBut God gives us directions.
\nAnd how does serve him and they <\/p>\n

152
\n00:10:51,700 –> 00:10:56,700
\nare not, as I said not ends in
\nthemselves but directions to us <\/p>\n

153
\n00:10:57,200 –> 00:11:02,100
\nas to how we can grow to please
\nhim and fulfill his ultimate <\/p>\n

154
\n00:11:02,100 –> 00:11:05,200
\npurpose.
\nA purpose to bring joy and <\/p>\n

155
\n00:11:05,200 –> 00:11:11,800
\npraise and honor him One needed
\nto be faithful to God and his <\/p>\n

156
\n00:11:11,800 –> 00:11:16,100
\npurpose and to be joyful for in
\ndoing these things. <\/p>\n

157
\n00:11:16,700 –> 00:11:20,100
\nHis mind is transformed.
\nHis, it says it must be in <\/p>\n

158
\n00:11:20,400 –> 00:11:25,900
\nRomans 2, 12, the gospel is full
\nof joy. <\/p>\n

159
\n00:11:27,500 –> 00:11:30,900
\nYou know, Jesus lived for such a
\nshort time. <\/p>\n

160
\n00:11:30,900 –> 00:11:36,300
\nBut in that three years, he did
\nso much joy, to people, he <\/p>\n

161
\n00:11:36,300 –> 00:11:42,400
\nbrought joy to hundreds, maybe
\nthousands, he cured so many <\/p>\n

162
\n00:11:42,400 –> 00:11:45,000
\npeople.
\nAre there problems, and if you <\/p>\n

163
\n00:11:45,008 –> 00:11:49,600
\njust think of those, those
\nhearings and the healings that <\/p>\n

164
\n00:11:49,600 –> 00:11:55,200
\nGod did it brings joy to you.
\nToday, think of the blind man <\/p>\n

165
\n00:11:55,200 –> 00:11:59,500
\nwho was Who was cured, he can
\nsee his wife and his children <\/p>\n

166
\n00:11:59,500 –> 00:12:05,900
\nfor the first time, he can see a
\nSunset and the deaf, he could <\/p>\n

167
\n00:12:05,900 –> 00:12:12,500
\nhear his children laugh.
\nAnd received Joy from his family<\/p>\n

168
\n00:12:12,500 –> 00:12:15,600
\nand some others as he shared
\nideas. <\/p>\n

169
\n00:12:19,800 –> 00:12:24,800
\nAnd think of gyrus.
\nWho’s who can hold his little <\/p>\n

170
\n00:12:24,800 –> 00:12:29,600
\ndaughter on his lap once more
\nwhat joy that would bring? <\/p>\n

171
\n00:12:29,900 –> 00:12:33,300
\nAnd all the other miracles to
\nall those who were cured, what <\/p>\n

172
\n00:12:33,300 –> 00:12:37,100
\nJoy they had is their life was
\nchanged because now they could <\/p>\n

173
\n00:12:37,100 –> 00:12:40,000
\nwork and they could walk and
\nthey could do things that they <\/p>\n

174
\n00:12:40,000 –> 00:12:43,300
\ncouldn’t do before because of
\ntheir healing. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:12:46,500 –> 00:12:53,100
\nNow, I have many reasons for
\ngreat joy, as a result of <\/p>\n

176
\n00:12:53,100 –> 00:13:00,700
\nknowing God sent and I’m going
\nto share my reasons with you and<\/p>\n

177
\n00:13:01,200 –> 00:13:03,500
\nI think you may agree with me
\nmost of the time. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:13:03,500 –> 00:13:08,500
\nAnyway, hope all the time.
\nFirst of all, I’m filled with <\/p>\n

179
\n00:13:08,500 –> 00:13:15,800
\njoy because of, you know, it’s a
\nblessing to have people who <\/p>\n

180
\n00:13:15,800 –> 00:13:20,200
\nshare your faith and to, you can
\nshare their other things with. <\/p>\n

181
\n00:13:20,800 –> 00:13:26,900
\nIt’s a joy to know and love you.
\nThat’s number one. <\/p>\n

182
\n00:13:28,500 –> 00:13:34,800
\nNext, it’s a blessing for me.
\nTo know that God is, always <\/p>\n

183
\n00:13:34,800 –> 00:13:40,600
\nmerciful and loving.
\nThat is Measles so much to me. <\/p>\n

184
\n00:13:42,200 –> 00:13:46,800
\nThe Risen Lord reveals himself
\nas merciful gracious, <\/p>\n

185
\n00:13:47,100 –> 00:13:50,300
\nlong-suffering and abundant in
\ngoodness and Truth. <\/p>\n

186
\n00:13:50,600 –> 00:13:56,000
\nKeeping Mercy for thousands
\nforgiving iniquity and <\/p>\n

187
\n00:13:56,000 –> 00:14:00,000
\ntransgression and sin.
\nAnd we’ll know by. <\/p>\n

188
\n00:14:00,000 –> 00:14:04,000
\nAnd by no means clear.
\nThe guilty as courses and exodus<\/p>\n

189
\n00:14:04,000 –> 00:14:08,200
\n34 that you you’re familiar
\nwith, there’s another route <\/p>\n

190
\n00:14:08,900 –> 00:14:11,800
\nreference.
\nI’m going to refer to it. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:14:12,000 –> 00:14:16,000
\nIs almost the same things but it
\nadds one thought that I want you<\/p>\n

192
\n00:14:16,000 –> 00:14:19,900
\nto remember.
\nAnd tonight, the 718. <\/p>\n

193
\n00:14:21,000 –> 00:14:23,600
\nAs I said, there’s one Addiction
\nin this reference. <\/p>\n

194
\n00:14:25,900 –> 00:14:31,500
\nAnd I can see why in that
\nEdition why God is merciful and <\/p>\n

195
\n00:14:31,500 –> 00:14:37,500
\nforgiving, God has given me.
\nWho is a god like unto thee that<\/p>\n

196
\n00:14:37,500 –> 00:14:42,200
\npartner with iniquity and passes
\nby the transgression of his <\/p>\n

197
\n00:14:42,200 –> 00:14:47,600
\nremnant of his Heritage?
\nHe returns not his anger forever<\/p>\n

198
\n00:14:48,100 –> 00:14:53,100
\nbecause he delighteth in Mercy
\nthat’s the key, he Delights in <\/p>\n

199
\n00:14:53,100 –> 00:14:56,200
\nMercy, he wants to extend Attend
\nMercy to us. <\/p>\n

200
\n00:14:56,400 –> 00:15:00,600
\nNow, isn’t that a wonderful
\nthought he wants to extend Mercy<\/p>\n

201
\n00:15:00,600 –> 00:15:02,500
\nto us.
\nHe Delights in it. <\/p>\n

202
\n00:15:03,400 –> 00:15:05,600
\nHe wants to forgive me of my
\nsins. <\/p>\n

203
\n00:15:05,900 –> 00:15:10,900
\nHe almighty God, cares enough
\nfor me to want to forgive my <\/p>\n

204
\n00:15:10,900 –> 00:15:14,500
\nsins and wants to give me a
\nplace in the Kingdom. <\/p>\n

205
\n00:15:15,700 –> 00:15:19,400
\nNow, I’m not perfect.
\nI’m some of you may know that <\/p>\n

206
\n00:15:21,000 –> 00:15:25,600
\nyou all know I’m not perfect.
\nAnd so might think well I don’t <\/p>\n

207
\n00:15:25,600 –> 00:15:27,900
\ndeserve all this.
\nWell that’s true. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:15:27,900 –> 00:15:32,500
\nI don’t I don’t deserve God’s
\nmercy because I’m not worthy of <\/p>\n

209
\n00:15:32,500 –> 00:15:38,000
\nit but because if his love and
\ncare, I have that blessing to <\/p>\n

210
\n00:15:38,000 –> 00:15:43,200
\nlook forward to.
\nAnd have forgiveness and notice <\/p>\n

211
\n00:15:43,200 –> 00:15:47,300
\nhow complete now, God spends a
\nlot of time to show how his <\/p>\n

212
\n00:15:47,700 –> 00:15:51,200
\nforgiveness is.
\nSo complete, he wants us to be <\/p>\n

213
\n00:15:51,200 –> 00:15:56,300
\nsure of it.
\nWell, we read this verse this <\/p>\n

214
\n00:15:56,300 –> 00:16:03,600
\nmorning in 100 and 703 like as a
\nfather PDFs or has compassion <\/p>\n

215
\n00:16:04,100 –> 00:16:08,400
\nfor his children.
\nSo the Lord has Compassion or <\/p>\n

216
\n00:16:08,400 –> 00:16:13,800
\nloves them that fear Him.
\nUm, our God is like a father who<\/p>\n

217
\n00:16:13,800 –> 00:16:16,800
\nloves his children.
\nWe can understand their <\/p>\n

218
\n00:16:16,800 –> 00:16:19,100
\nrelationship, especially those
\nof you. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:16:19,100 –> 00:16:23,400
\nAnd father is day, you can
\nunderstand that relationship <\/p>\n

220
\n00:16:23,400 –> 00:16:32,100
\nthat God has with us.
\nHe loves his children and loves <\/p>\n

221
\n00:16:32,100 –> 00:16:36,300
\neach one.
\nKnowing that God is a merciful, <\/p>\n

222
\n00:16:36,300 –> 00:16:44,700
\nand long-suffering father brings
\ngreat joy to me, I just when <\/p>\n

223
\n00:16:44,700 –> 00:16:49,500
\nwould it be that?
\nSo, I rejoice in all my serving <\/p>\n

224
\n00:16:50,200 –> 00:16:54,200
\nknowing that in all of God’s
\ncommands, his purpose was to <\/p>\n

225
\n00:16:54,200 –> 00:16:58,200
\nprepare me for the joy that he
\nhas in store. <\/p>\n

226
\n00:16:59,000 –> 00:17:04,000
\nHe Delights in Mercy.
\nNow notice how he deals with <\/p>\n

227
\n00:17:04,000 –> 00:17:06,400
\nsins.
\nWe read this in the some 103. <\/p>\n

228
\n00:17:06,800 –> 00:17:10,700
\nAlso, he will not always chide,
\nnot only one. <\/p>\n

229
\n00:17:10,700 –> 00:17:14,800
\nAlways care about that.
\nNeither will he keep his anger <\/p>\n

230
\n00:17:14,800 –> 00:17:19,000
\nforever?
\nHe hath not dealt with us and <\/p>\n

231
\n00:17:19,000 –> 00:17:24,200
\nhasn’t dealt with me after my
\nsins, but rewarded me, according<\/p>\n

232
\n00:17:24,200 –> 00:17:29,600
\nto my iniquities.
\nIf he did, remember my sins, <\/p>\n

233
\n00:17:30,200 –> 00:17:34,700
\nthere would be no hope.
\nNow this idea is repeated in <\/p>\n

234
\n00:17:34,700 –> 00:17:43,300
\nPsalm 130, and I like to know
\nthis, it Psalm 103 in Psalm 131 <\/p>\n

235
\n00:17:44,800 –> 00:17:51,400
\n3 and 0, same place, same idea.
\nAnd there it says as far as if <\/p>\n

236
\n00:17:51,400 –> 00:17:56,800
\nthe Lord should ask Mark
\niniquities, who should stand My <\/p>\n

237
\n00:17:56,800 –> 00:18:03,300
\nsins are totally disposed of
\ngoing back to the Sami red, as <\/p>\n

238
\n00:18:03,300 –> 00:18:06,200
\nfar as the East is from the West
\nso far. <\/p>\n

239
\n00:18:06,200 –> 00:18:09,100
\nHas he removed our
\ntransgressions from me? <\/p>\n

240
\n00:18:10,200 –> 00:18:17,500
\nI am so glad.
\nAnd so happy to realize That I <\/p>\n

241
\n00:18:17,500 –> 00:18:21,200
\ncan serve a God who is a
\nforgiving father. <\/p>\n

242
\n00:18:22,900 –> 00:18:29,700
\nHe suffers when I suffer.
\nHe rejoices, when I rejoice In a<\/p>\n

243
\n00:18:29,700 –> 00:18:33,500
\nrecent article, in the tidings,
\nin a, an article about morning <\/p>\n

244
\n00:18:34,000 –> 00:18:38,500
\nabout the Dead, the offer author
\nmentioned that when he lost his <\/p>\n

245
\n00:18:38,500 –> 00:18:44,300
\n22-year old daughter in an
\naccident that God grieved along <\/p>\n

246
\n00:18:44,300 –> 00:18:50,100
\nwith him.
\nIsn’t that a nice thought God <\/p>\n

247
\n00:18:50,200 –> 00:18:58,000
\nGrieves when we grieve?
\nAnd I’m beginning to appreciate <\/p>\n

248
\n00:18:58,000 –> 00:19:01,300
\nthis that God is part of my
\nlife. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:19:02,200 –> 00:19:05,900
\nWhen I do, well, he’s happy, he
\nhas great joy. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:19:06,500 –> 00:19:14,100
\nWhen I do well poor, he’s
\nsaddened It’s a closeness that <\/p>\n

251
\n00:19:14,100 –> 00:19:18,000
\nwe have and we’re blessed to
\nhave with our guy. <\/p>\n

252
\n00:19:20,700 –> 00:19:26,500
\nAnd I’m also have great joy
\nbecause God sent his son Jesus. <\/p>\n

253
\n00:19:30,300 –> 00:19:36,800
\nJesus, who lived a life
\novercoming sin, who lived his <\/p>\n

254
\n00:19:36,800 –> 00:19:45,100
\nlife, doing well, who suffer in
\nthe cross is a perfect sacrifice<\/p>\n

255
\n00:19:45,500 –> 00:19:50,300
\nfor my sins.
\nNow as we mentioned, I can only <\/p>\n

256
\n00:19:50,300 –> 00:19:54,800
\nbe content counted righteous
\nbecause I am in Christ and <\/p>\n

257
\n00:19:54,800 –> 00:19:56,800
\nbecause of their great mercy and
\nGrace. <\/p>\n

258
\n00:19:57,800 –> 00:20:00,600
\nIt’s not something that I earned
\nor I deserved. <\/p>\n

259
\n00:20:01,200 –> 00:20:05,300
\nIt’s only through the undeserved
\nlove of God and his son Jesus <\/p>\n

260
\n00:20:06,000 –> 00:20:11,100
\nand by their Grace and I have
\nhope in any future life but I do<\/p>\n

261
\n00:20:11,100 –> 00:20:14,600
\nhave hope because of them.
\nThank you, Jesus. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:20:15,600 –> 00:20:20,400
\nGod has given me so many
\nblessings which bring me joy and<\/p>\n

263
\n00:20:20,400 –> 00:20:28,000
\nsecurity.
\nI think of some 34-7, the angel <\/p>\n

264
\n00:20:28,000 –> 00:20:30,700
\nof the Lord, encamps around
\nabout them, that fear Him and <\/p>\n

265
\n00:20:30,700 –> 00:20:37,000
\ndelivers us in.
\nGod sends his angels to Watch <\/p>\n

266
\n00:20:37,000 –> 00:20:41,500
\nOver Me.
\nWhat a blessing that is and I <\/p>\n

267
\n00:20:41,508 –> 00:20:44,700
\nknow there are many times on
\nthat angel must have been <\/p>\n

268
\n00:20:45,100 –> 00:20:48,400
\nembarrassed to save me from my
\nmistakes. <\/p>\n

269
\n00:20:49,900 –> 00:20:54,400
\nAnd there are times when I met,
\nI realize there are times when I<\/p>\n

270
\n00:20:54,400 –> 00:21:00,400
\nthink the angel did his job and
\ndelivered me, but he’s always <\/p>\n

271
\n00:21:00,400 –> 00:21:06,400
\nthere.
\nAnd he delivered me from my <\/p>\n

272
\n00:21:06,400 –> 00:21:09,300
\nmistakes and errors or
\nsituations. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:21:13,200 –> 00:21:18,300
\nThe Lord has said in Hebrews 13
\nand 5, I will never leave you, <\/p>\n

274
\n00:21:19,100 –> 00:21:27,000
\nneither will I forsake, you
\nHe’ll never leave me. <\/p>\n

275
\n00:21:28,100 –> 00:21:33,300
\nNever forsake me.
\nYou’ll never forget me or you. <\/p>\n

276
\n00:21:34,200 –> 00:21:39,300
\nAnd that brings me.
\nGreat, joy and security he won. <\/p>\n

277
\n00:21:40,200 –> 00:21:45,500
\nHe remembereth that I am dust.
\nHe understands human nature of <\/p>\n

278
\n00:21:45,500 –> 00:21:51,000
\ncourse because he made it.
\nHe knows how I struggled to <\/p>\n

279
\n00:21:51,000 –> 00:21:55,300
\novercome sin, you know.
\nTragedies in my life. <\/p>\n

280
\n00:21:56,100 –> 00:22:00,100
\nHe knew when I house burned to
\nthe ground and he knows any <\/p>\n

281
\n00:22:00,100 –> 00:22:02,800
\ncares.
\nPraise God. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:22:03,600 –> 00:22:07,800
\nI need to be joyful.
\nOh, this is a new thought. <\/p>\n

283
\n00:22:08,400 –> 00:22:11,700
\nI need to be joyful sometimes
\nwhen I shouldn’t be joyful. <\/p>\n

284
\n00:22:13,800 –> 00:22:18,800
\nMy brother says James in chapter
\n1, cut it all joy when you fall <\/p>\n

285
\n00:22:18,800 –> 00:22:24,200
\ninto divers Temptations, knowing
\nthis that the trying of Faith <\/p>\n

286
\n00:22:24,200 –> 00:22:29,500
\nworketh patience Temptations,
\nand trials are not joyful. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:22:30,600 –> 00:22:36,000
\nBut one, I remember what they do
\nfor me if I properly think about<\/p>\n

288
\n00:22:36,000 –> 00:22:40,600
\nthem, I realize how to react to
\ntrials and temptations. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:22:41,500 –> 00:22:44,100
\nTrials, give me patience and
\nendurance. <\/p>\n

290
\n00:22:44,100 –> 00:22:49,200
\nIt says, so I rejoice in my
\ntrials, I try to. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:22:50,200 –> 00:22:53,000
\nAnd when I realized that, when I
\nrealized that, they helped to <\/p>\n

292
\n00:22:53,000 –> 00:22:58,500
\nprepare Me For Greater Joy for
\nthe kingdom of God, that is to <\/p>\n

293
\n00:22:58,508 –> 00:23:01,300
\ncome.
\nSo, trials in that way. <\/p>\n

294
\n00:23:01,300 –> 00:23:08,500
\nAnd that’s Light are a blessing
\nand I can rejoice in them knife.<\/p>\n

295
\n00:23:08,500 –> 00:23:12,800
\nHave difficulty with?
\nYes, because it’s not rejoice <\/p>\n

296
\n00:23:13,100 –> 00:23:16,800
\nwhen things are not going well,
\nbut if we stop and remember <\/p>\n

297
\n00:23:17,500 –> 00:23:21,400
\nthat, they’re there for a
\npurpose and God may bring them <\/p>\n

298
\n00:23:21,400 –> 00:23:25,600
\nright upon us, or sometimes it’s
\nour own willfulness, it brings <\/p>\n

299
\n00:23:25,600 –> 00:23:30,600
\nabout our problems and that’s
\nwhy we can understand how Paul <\/p>\n

300
\n00:23:30,600 –> 00:23:34,700
\nand Silas could do.
\nWhat they did, they were doing <\/p>\n

301
\n00:23:34,700 –> 00:23:38,600
\nwhat God wanted to do, but they
\nwere beaten by the Jews and with<\/p>\n

302
\n00:23:38,600 –> 00:23:43,200
\nmany stripes and your feet
\nfashion, in the stocks, their <\/p>\n

303
\n00:23:43,200 –> 00:23:46,900
\nbacks bleeding and their body
\nhurting. <\/p>\n

304
\n00:23:48,200 –> 00:23:55,500
\nThey prayed and saying, praises
\nto God, in all that difficulty, <\/p>\n

305
\n00:23:56,100 –> 00:24:03,900
\nthey sang praises and thanks to
\nGod and we know that The, Jailer<\/p>\n

306
\n00:24:05,800 –> 00:24:09,900
\nheard them doing this and
\nwonderful things happened after <\/p>\n

307
\n00:24:09,900 –> 00:24:15,700
\nthat.
\nAnd it’s the only way I can <\/p>\n

308
\n00:24:15,700 –> 00:24:20,400
\nunderstand how Jesus could say
\nabout his crucifixion. <\/p>\n

309
\n00:24:21,000 –> 00:24:29,900
\nIt’s a versatile that day that
\nwhat’s-his-name back here, gave <\/p>\n

310
\n00:24:30,000 –> 00:24:32,700
\nhis prayer.
\nYou know, that happens when you <\/p>\n

311
\n00:24:32,708 –> 00:24:37,100
\nget all three things block out,
\nI’ve known Christian for 50 <\/p>\n

312
\n00:24:37,100 –> 00:24:42,400
\nyears and yet I can’t remember
\nhis name, but he quoted this <\/p>\n

313
\n00:24:42,400 –> 00:24:46,600
\nverse in Hebrews 12 and 2.
\nLooking unto Jesus, the author <\/p>\n

314
\n00:24:46,600 –> 00:24:50,200
\nand finisher of our faith.
\nWho for the joy that was set <\/p>\n

315
\n00:24:50,200 –> 00:24:55,500
\nbefore him, endured the cross
\ndespising, the shame and is set <\/p>\n

316
\n00:24:55,500 –> 00:25:01,000
\ndown at the right hand of God of
\nthe Throne of God and despised. <\/p>\n

317
\n00:25:01,000 –> 00:25:03,300
\nHe managed to take down upon or
\nnot. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:25:03,300 –> 00:25:05,900
\nBe worried about.
\nHe wasn’t concerned about the <\/p>\n

319
\n00:25:05,900 –> 00:25:09,000
\nembarrassment that he was
\nalready hanging on a cross. <\/p>\n

320
\n00:25:09,800 –> 00:25:13,200
\nFor everybody to see that was
\naround, he didn’t even think <\/p>\n

321
\n00:25:13,200 –> 00:25:18,900
\nabout that.
\nBut there was Joy set before him<\/p>\n

322
\n00:25:20,000 –> 00:25:25,500
\nand the results of his ordeal, I
\nthink he was thinking that <\/p>\n

323
\n00:25:25,500 –> 00:25:34,000
\nthrough his sacrifice Millions
\nalong with me and you would be <\/p>\n

324
\n00:25:34,000 –> 00:25:37,600
\nredeemed to their creator in the
\nearth. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:25:37,600 –> 00:25:41,400
\nShould be filled with people
\nreflecting God’s glory. <\/p>\n

326
\n00:25:42,900 –> 00:25:46,600
\nSo I can just keep thinking
\nabout all these things and I <\/p>\n

327
\n00:25:46,600 –> 00:25:52,400
\nthink God does love me.
\nHe reminds me of that in many <\/p>\n

328
\n00:25:52,400 –> 00:25:55,800
\nplaces.
\nWe talked about one already. <\/p>\n

329
\n00:25:57,300 –> 00:26:01,700
\nHe doesn’t have to do that big
\nis, but he does because that’s <\/p>\n

330
\n00:26:01,700 –> 00:26:07,900
\nwho he is.
\nSo I’m shit joyful that I’m <\/p>\n

331
\n00:26:07,900 –> 00:26:12,800
\nconsider cure in his love and he
\nloved me before I loved him. <\/p>\n

332
\n00:26:13,000 –> 00:26:15,500
\nThat’s first.
\nJohn four. <\/p>\n

333
\n00:26:16,300 –> 00:26:19,000
\nThat’s what you would read last
\nnight in your release of you <\/p>\n

334
\n00:26:19,000 –> 00:26:22,300
\nread.
\nThis verse brings me joy. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:26:23,400 –> 00:26:27,300
\nI have the assurance that
\nnothing can separate me from the<\/p>\n

336
\n00:26:27,300 –> 00:26:31,400
\nlove of God.
\nNothing can separate you from <\/p>\n

337
\n00:26:31,400 –> 00:26:34,100
\nthat.
\nWe read in Romans, chapter 8, <\/p>\n

338
\n00:26:34,100 –> 00:26:37,700
\nall whole list of things.
\nNone of these things can <\/p>\n

339
\n00:26:37,700 –> 00:26:39,600
\nseparate us from the love of
\nGod. <\/p>\n

340
\n00:26:40,900 –> 00:26:46,100
\nAnd I’ll read them to you shall
\ntribulation no distress <\/p>\n

341
\n00:26:46,300 –> 00:26:49,900
\npersecution or famine or
\nnakedness or Peril or sword. <\/p>\n

342
\n00:26:51,000 –> 00:26:56,600
\nBram, persuaded that neither
\ndeath nor life, nor angels, nor <\/p>\n

343
\n00:26:56,600 –> 00:26:59,700
\nprincipalities nor powers nor
\nthings present, nor things to <\/p>\n

344
\n00:26:59,700 –> 00:27:02,700
\ncome.
\nGetting kind of redundant. <\/p>\n

345
\n00:27:02,700 –> 00:27:05,600
\nAlmost there’s so many things
\nthat shows it won’t separate us <\/p>\n

346
\n00:27:06,100 –> 00:27:09,700
\nnor height nor depth nor any
\nother creature shall be able to <\/p>\n

347
\n00:27:09,700 –> 00:27:14,100
\nseparate me from the love of
\nGod, which is in Christ Jesus <\/p>\n

348
\n00:27:14,100 –> 00:27:21,900
\nour lord, nothing nothing can
\nseparate me or you from his <\/p>\n

349
\n00:27:21,900 –> 00:27:24,800
\nlove.
\nIf that’s not something that he <\/p>\n

350
\n00:27:24,800 –> 00:27:27,700
\nbrings a bit of Joy, I don’t
\nknow what else she could have. <\/p>\n

351
\n00:27:29,600 –> 00:27:35,000
\nAnd the Very promise of the
\nkingdom is another great reason <\/p>\n

352
\n00:27:35,000 –> 00:27:41,400
\nfor Joy excitement for that day
\nto come gets more and more <\/p>\n

353
\n00:27:41,400 –> 00:27:44,200
\nexciting as you.
\nWe see the things happening <\/p>\n

354
\n00:27:44,200 –> 00:27:46,700
\naround and Israel and other
\nplaces in the world. <\/p>\n

355
\n00:27:46,700 –> 00:27:53,900
\nNow And that blessing is
\ndescribed in 1, Timothy 2:9. <\/p>\n

356
\n00:27:54,900 –> 00:27:57,500
\nIf you want to make it see this
\nagain you look it up. <\/p>\n

357
\n00:27:58,500 –> 00:28:05,200
\nI have not seen ears have not
\nheard neither hath it entered <\/p>\n

358
\n00:28:05,200 –> 00:28:09,300
\ninto the heart of man, the
\nthings which God has prepared <\/p>\n

359
\n00:28:09,300 –> 00:28:14,300
\nfor those who love him.
\nReturn. <\/p>\n

360
\n00:28:14,300 –> 00:28:16,200
\nWe can’t really cope.
\nLeast. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:28:16,200 –> 00:28:20,100
\nI can’t really comprehend.
\nWhat that will be. <\/p>\n

362
\n00:28:20,900 –> 00:28:24,600
\nIt’s beyond me.
\nYou haven’t ever seen it area or<\/p>\n

363
\n00:28:24,600 –> 00:28:29,200
\neven heard about it.
\nBut God has prepared it for <\/p>\n

364
\n00:28:30,300 –> 00:28:34,200
\npeople like me.
\nHow wonderful it would be <\/p>\n

365
\n00:28:35,300 –> 00:28:39,500
\nsomething I can’t imagine.
\nShout for Joy. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:28:39,800 –> 00:28:42,700
\nWhat a joyous occasion.
\nThis is going to be if you’re <\/p>\n

367
\n00:28:42,700 –> 00:28:46,900
\npart of that, thank him for his
\nunspeakable love. <\/p>\n

368
\n00:28:52,700 –> 00:28:57,200
\nNow, I’m going to conclude this
\nlittle talk by two verses in the<\/p>\n

369
\n00:28:57,200 –> 00:29:01,600
\nlittle bitty book of Jude.
\nNow either was never fond of the<\/p>\n

370
\n00:29:01,600 –> 00:29:06,800
\nbook of Jude, but these two
\nverses set it aside and make it <\/p>\n

371
\n00:29:06,800 –> 00:29:11,200
\nso important.
\nTo me and I think to you, Jude <\/p>\n

372
\n00:29:11,200 –> 00:29:15,700
\nverses 24 and 25, you’ll all
\nrecognize it because we have it <\/p>\n

373
\n00:29:15,700 –> 00:29:20,100
\nin him.
\nNow unto him, that is able to <\/p>\n

374
\n00:29:20,600 –> 00:29:24,600
\nkeep me from falling and to
\npresent Me faultless Before the <\/p>\n

375
\n00:29:24,600 –> 00:29:28,300
\nThrone of his presence of his
\nglory and he does it with <\/p>\n

376
\n00:29:28,300 –> 00:29:32,900
\nexceeding Joy.
\nFrom that phrase, God wants to <\/p>\n

377
\n00:29:32,900 –> 00:29:38,200
\ndo it, he desires to do it
\nbecause he loves those who <\/p>\n

378
\n00:29:38,200 –> 00:29:47,200
\nfollow him.
\nNo, I’m not faultless, but God <\/p>\n

379
\n00:29:47,200 –> 00:29:51,000
\nsays, he’ll keep me faultless.
\nMaybe that involves the angels <\/p>\n

380
\n00:29:51,000 –> 00:29:53,700
\nare God’s intervention in my
\nlife. <\/p>\n

381
\n00:29:55,200 –> 00:29:59,000
\nAnd he presents me though.
\nHe keeps me from falling. <\/p>\n

382
\n00:29:59,000 –> 00:30:03,600
\nThat’s from the angels, and from
\nthe idea in my life. <\/p>\n

383
\n00:30:03,900 –> 00:30:07,400
\nAnd he appears, that’s me,
\nfaultless, and that’s gotta mean<\/p>\n

384
\n00:30:07,400 –> 00:30:13,000
\nthat he forgives me.
\nAnybody in here, fought us know.<\/p>\n

385
\n00:30:14,300 –> 00:30:17,800
\nI guess if we’re forgiven, we
\nare faultless. <\/p>\n

386
\n00:30:17,900 –> 00:30:21,800
\nThat’s what he’s telling about,
\nhe’s going to forgive us and he <\/p>\n

387
\n00:30:21,800 –> 00:30:27,300
\ndoes it all with exceeding Joy.
\nNow, the word exceeding means <\/p>\n

388
\n00:30:27,300 –> 00:30:31,800
\ngreater.
\nGreater Joy with exceeding Joy. <\/p>\n

389
\n00:30:31,800 –> 00:30:34,200
\nThink about God.
\nHe wants to do this. <\/p>\n

390
\n00:30:34,700 –> 00:30:37,900
\nIt brings him Joy.
\nThere’s Heaven. <\/p>\n

391
\n00:30:37,900 –> 00:30:42,200
\nThere’s joy in heaven when a
\ncity, when his sinner repents, <\/p>\n

392
\n00:30:46,400 –> 00:30:50,600
\nAnd so there’s joy.
\nYou think about joy in heaven <\/p>\n

393
\n00:30:51,300 –> 00:30:55,400
\nwhen we’re doing what’s right?
\nI think that happens. <\/p>\n

394
\n00:30:56,400 –> 00:31:00,200
\nGod is close to all of us and
\nhe’s happy. <\/p>\n

395
\n00:31:00,400 –> 00:31:03,400
\nHe’s pleased when we do what’s
\nright? <\/p>\n

396
\n00:31:06,200 –> 00:31:10,400
\nAnd so, I’m convinced.
\nThough, I don’t deserve it. <\/p>\n

397
\n00:31:10,400 –> 00:31:14,600
\nThat God loves me, he’s
\nconcerned about me, I’m <\/p>\n

398
\n00:31:14,600 –> 00:31:18,900
\nimportant to him, and that’s
\nimportant to me, too. <\/p>\n

399
\n00:31:20,000 –> 00:31:22,600
\nHe goes along with Micah when I
\ntell you about it. <\/p>\n

400
\n00:31:23,100 –> 00:31:28,000
\nGod Delights to show Mercy.
\nPraise the Lord. <\/p>\n

401
\n00:31:28,800 –> 00:31:32,800
\nYou two have the same Joys as I
\nhave. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:31:34,700 –> 00:31:40,500
\nThat’s a joyful thing, isn’t it?
\nnow, we’re going to break bread <\/p>\n

403
\n00:31:40,800 –> 00:31:45,800
\nand drink wine in memory of our
\nSalvation, how it came about <\/p>\n

404
\n00:31:46,900 –> 00:31:51,900
\nJesus lived a life of doing good
\nfor others, a life without sin. <\/p>\n

405
\n00:31:52,700 –> 00:31:56,900
\nHe went about doing good.
\nSetting a pattern for me to <\/p>\n

406
\n00:31:56,900 –> 00:32:03,000
\nfollow his blood was shed as he
\nsuffered on the cross so that my<\/p>\n

407
\n00:32:03,000 –> 00:32:06,900
\nsins can be forgiven.
\nHow blessed I am. <\/p>\n

408
\n00:32:07,500 –> 00:32:14,500
\nAs I Rejoice together with you
\nand God’s undeserved, mercy more<\/p>\n

409
\n00:32:14,500 –> 00:32:23,000
\ncould be said But we have joy
\nand so many things, but in these<\/p>\n

410
\n00:32:23,000 –> 00:32:27,600
\nlast days, he wait for the
\ncoming of Jesus, I didn’t dwell <\/p>\n

411
\n00:32:27,600 –> 00:32:30,900
\non this.
\nI think without this hope things<\/p>\n

412
\n00:32:30,900 –> 00:32:34,500
\nwould be a lot more dreary
\nwouldn’t say we wouldn’t have <\/p>\n

413
\n00:32:34,500 –> 00:32:38,800
\nsomething to look forward to out
\nof this morass of sin and death <\/p>\n

414
\n00:32:38,800 –> 00:32:44,500
\nand wickedness that we live in.
\nPeople continue to be more evil <\/p>\n

415
\n00:32:45,000 –> 00:32:48,700
\nand destructive as they shoot
\neach other and kill each other <\/p>\n

416
\n00:32:48,700 –> 00:32:51,300
\nand do main thing.
\nThings all the time. <\/p>\n

417
\n00:32:52,900 –> 00:32:58,000
\nBut to have God in my life today
\nin the middle of stress and <\/p>\n

418
\n00:32:58,000 –> 00:33:02,100
\nwickedness.
\nIt brings me joy and peace. <\/p>\n

419
\n00:33:04,700 –> 00:33:07,700
\nTo know and it’s hope that has
\nboth sure. <\/p>\n

420
\n00:33:08,100 –> 00:33:13,200
\nAnd steadfast and as I projected
\nthe time of the Kingdom, my joy <\/p>\n

421
\n00:33:13,200 –> 00:33:18,800
\nwill be beyond my comprehension
\nby the grace of God and that <\/p>\n

422
\n00:33:18,800 –> 00:33:25,800
\nday, Jesus will say to me by his
\ngrace and to you. <\/p>\n

423
\n00:33:26,800 –> 00:33:30,000
\nWell done.
\nGood and faithful servant. <\/p>\n

424
\n00:33:30,800 –> 00:33:32,800
\nYou were Faithful over.
\nA few things. <\/p>\n

425
\n00:33:33,200 –> 00:33:39,900
\nI will make you ruler over many
\nthings enter into the joy of <\/p>\n

426
\n00:33:39,900 –> 00:33:44,700
\nyour lord.
\nThink of it, enter into God’s <\/p>\n

427
\n00:33:44,700 –> 00:33:48,000
\njoy.
\nHis original purpose to plan <\/p>\n

428
\n00:33:48,000 –> 00:33:52,200
\nthis Earth to be filled with his
\njoy and we can hitter into that <\/p>\n

429
\n00:33:52,200 –> 00:33:58,700
\ngreat joy.
\nWhat Greater Joy could we ever <\/p>\n
