1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. Dean,

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. Hi you, Dean Good.

3
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 2: I'm very good good. I have a question for you.

4
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: I've been studying all week. I actually called before your show.

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 2: I've been listening to these for a few months, and

6
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: I looked at John three fifteen, and then I worked

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: over on Mark ten fifteen, and then Mark ten fifteen.

8
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 2: It says in order to enter in the teen in heaven,

9
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 2: you have to come as a little child he had

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: In John three fifteen it says all you have to

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: just believe. So we were confused with that.

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: Oh no, they actually match up quite well. The essence

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: of what's being said is exactly the same in both.

14
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: The problem throughout scripture, and you'll see this in different

15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: parts of scripture, is that man in their adult state

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: has a hard time believing, and so they to reject

17
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: things or make excuses or constantly be pushing truths out

18
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: of their way because it's not what it's not where

19
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: they are now, whereas children are always in that state

20
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: of curiosity and bringing forth and believing and taking those

21
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: things under their wing. And really you see a kid

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: jump into the air, just knowing that they'll they'll land

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: on their feet. And it's this type of youthful belief

24
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,919
Speaker 1: that is very difficult for people as they get older.

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: And so the marriage of the two verses Mark ten

26
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: fifteen and John three fifteen, it really is dealing with

27
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: the exact same thing. One having the belief of a child,

28
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: the simplicity of giving to God and trusting in the

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: Father as a child would, rather than rebelling and pushing

30
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: things or making it as the Pharisees did, into something

31
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: that was to control other people and things like that.

32
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: That's really what it comes down to.

33
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: I had a study Bible and it states in the

34
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: putting Us on Mark ten fifteen it says children exhibit sincerity, eagerness,

35
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: and trusting answer and the cloths on the parents their

36
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 2: child likeness is a fitting comparison for the qualities of

37
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: the disciples.

38
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's that's pretty much what I just said.

39
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: So that works out nicely. Uh. The UH children are

40
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: often an example and an illustration in UH in Christianity

41
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: and seeing that that that way of taking in all

42
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: of life is a pretty magical thing. And with the

43
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: holidays you may see that too. The wide eyed kind

44
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: of receptiveness to that which seems magical or wonderful really

45
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: ties into children. You probably sometimes, thinking back on it,

46
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: when you see Christmas lights or you see those things

47
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: that go with Christmas, maybe your heart kind of goes

48
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: back to when you were younger. That all ties into that,

49
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: that simpler, more understanding heart of a child. And it's

50
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: not that you're you know, you're to be stupid, but

51
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: children aren't stupid. Children have a way of understanding things

52
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: actually quite deeply and quite simply, whereas as adults, you can,

53
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: you know, kind of add a bunch of gook on

54
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: top of more gook and more gook and more, but

55
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: what the but what of that? And you start adding

56
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: things on top of it. So that's why children are

57
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: often used in scripture as an illustration of somebody who's receptive,

58
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: who's ready to receive and uh and and that can

59
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: be a very a very powerful thing. And so that's

60
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: why children are often used in these illustrations in scripture. Jesse,

61
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. Hi Jesse, Hi, how

62
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: are you doing in the morning? I am well, how

63
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: can I help you?

64
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 3: Anyway? I was calling because I was curious when you

65
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: walked on the years you followed, you know, all the

66
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 3: high holy days that are talked about the Old Testament

67
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 3: in this art to be everlasting convocations. So is there

68
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 3: a reason why or why wouldn't we still follow those today?

69
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: Oh? Sure, and it doesn't mean that you can't. But

70
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,799
Speaker 1: let's look at things, uh, and see that there's one

71
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: one major happening that hadn't taken place yet. If I'm

72
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: still doing feasts, and guess what that.

73
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 3: Is, that's the destruction of the temple, right.

74
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: Well, no, there, well, yes, and no, it depends who

75
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: you're asking. But uh, if I'm alive and I'm eating

76
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: and I'm being part of a festival and really justus ceremonies,

77
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: what hasn't happened.

78
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 3: Yet your sacrifice?

79
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, So that's a major that's a major part

80
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: of what's going on. So as an example, for instance,

81
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: when I was asked about asked about the law, I

82
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: said that I didn't come to abolish the law, came

83
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: to fulfill it. So it didn't mean that the law

84
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: had no meaning afterwards. It means that it was fulfilled

85
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: and therefore it's it's not usable. In the same way,

86
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: in the same sense. So it's not that you can't.

87
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: You can. There's certainly all kinds of festivals, and I'm

88
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: pleased to say that more and more Christians are adapting

89
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: and bringing the festivals and the feasts and traditions of

90
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: our Jewish brothers and sisters into their Christianity, and I

91
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: think that that can be very important. But Passover, for instance,

92
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: that passover is completely moot if you're a Christian because

93
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: of the My death on the US. So that's not

94
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: something even though I was, as most scholars believe in

95
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: dealing with the passover meal on the Last Supper, that

96
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that you necessarily should because you wouldn't have

97
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: the need for passover anymore because the spirit of death

98
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: has passed over via My death right right. So there

99
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 1: are certain things.

100
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 3: But it's still points. It still points towards it too, though,

101
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 3: I mean it's like.

102
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: Almost like a it's that, yeah. But now now the

103
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: celebration is really about the resurrection, so that would land

104
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: on Resurrection Sunday or what people call Easter, so it

105
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: would be more appropriate to be celebrating in that than

106
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: it would be celebrating a sacrifice of a lamb. Put

107
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: on the door poster above the door. That's it's just

108
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: a different it's the same thing, but it's it's different

109
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: in the sense. I think of it this way, the

110
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: difference between a check and a dollar bill. A check

111
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: is writing something looking forward to the money that's somewhere else.

112
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: And that's how our Jewish brothers and sisters were living

113
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: prior to and those that ended up believing prior to

114
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: My death and resurrection, they're looking towards and writing based

115
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: on towards what's going to be in the bank, and

116
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: the Christian is looking backwards. Christians looking towards the money

117
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: that's already put in the bank. So it's a slightly

118
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: different positioning, but yes, very much the same.

119
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: So we're the we're the Jewish believers. Before the Temple

120
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: was destroyed? Were the Jewish believers in Jerusalem? Did they

121
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: did they still follow those traditions? I mean, you know,

122
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: did they still did they still follow all the all

123
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: the high holidays? And well, there's some sort of time

124
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 3: when that transition, you know.

125
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: Well, the transition to those that became Christians, those that

126
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: ended up falling the becoming Christians along and being disciples

127
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: of mine. Uh, those changed after my death, and you

128
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: can find that some of those things change fairly immediately

129
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: immediately during the Book of Acts. Shane, Welcome to Jesus

130
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: Christ Show.

131
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 4: Thank you.

132
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: How can I help you?

133
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 3: Shane, Yeah, I gotta I got a question.

134
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: Your name is Jesus, right, yes, Sua Jesus.

135
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 3: Whoever when you when you Yesua to English, shouldn't be Joshua.

136
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, Well, thank you, that was easy. Really, what

137
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: it comes down to the confusion lies in a literary

138
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: device to separate me from the other Joshua's in scripture.

139
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: There are other Joshuas, and if you referred to me

140
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: as Joshua in scripture, I'd get lost with all the

141
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: other Joshuas. So to make it stand out in scripture,

142
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: kind of like in the movies, they'll make me, you know,

143
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: blonde and blue eyed. I certainly am not blonde and

144
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: blue eyed. But it's a device used to make me

145
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: stand out amongst the other people in scripture. But yeshuahamashiek

146
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: Jesus the Messiah doesn't translate directly into Jesus, although it

147
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: is the same name. It's just depending on which if

148
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: you go by way of Latin or you go by

149
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: a way the English, or you go by way of

150
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: the Greek, or you go by way. It's just different translations.

151
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: But yes, the easiest jump would be Joshua, not Jesus.

152
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: The importance of using Jesus is to separate from other

153
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: joshuas in scripture. So when it talks about the power

154
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: of the name, it talks about more than that. As

155
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, there's over fifty sixty seventy eighty

156
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: one hundred names for me in scripture. The advocate, the

157
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: Alpha and the Omega, the author of life, the author

158
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: and perfector of faith, the author of salvation, the beginning

159
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: and the end, Bread of life, Bread of God, the capstone,

160
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: the cornerstone, the chief Shepherd, the Christ, the Creator, Deliverer,

161
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: everlasting Father, faithful witness, good shepherd, great shepherd, great high Priest.

162
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: So there's many things that talk about the essence of that,

163
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: and people get caught up in the consonants and the vowels,

164
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: thinking that therein lies the power. But I want you

165
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: to think of it this way. In the old time movies,

166
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: the cops and robbers, the cops would come around the

167
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: corner and they'd yell what they'd say stop in the

168
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: name of the law. Now, what they weren't saying is

169
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: stop in the power and authority of the consonants and

170
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: vowels law, because that doesn't make it sense. There wasn't

171
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: any power in the consonants and the vowels. They're saying

172
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: stop in the name and the authority given to me

173
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: by the principalities and the government to carry the badge,

174
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: the gun, the baton, and by that authority, I'm telling

175
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: you to stop. So the power wasn't in the name

176
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: of the law. It was in the name meaning the

177
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: power or authority of the law. So whenever you hear

178
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: there's no other name in which man can be saved

179
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: the power in the name, these types of things that

180
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: really it's referring to the power and authority of God.

181
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: That's what it's not saying, the power and authority in any particular.

182
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: There's people that even argue this, well, no, because Jesus

183
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: actually comes by way of pagan roots, so you have

184
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: to use Yeshua and these types of things, and that's

185
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: just not true. Otherwise, there's a good chunk of scripture

186
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: that is written in Greek that you're gonna have to say,

187
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: is pagan just because of the Hellanistic belief system. Rachel,

188
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show.

189
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 5: Hi Jesus, Hello, Hi, I have a question for you.

190
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 5: I was reading this morning numbers twenty two, and in

191
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 5: eighteen Baalem flat out says to the Lord, let's see here. Oh,

192
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 5: he says, I would be powerless to do anything against

193
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 5: the will of the Lord. And in twenty God came

194
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 5: to Balim and said, since these men have come for you,

195
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 5: get up and go with them, and he tells him

196
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 5: to go with them and then drop down a little bit.

197
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 5: In twenty two, God was furious that Balem was going

198
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 5: and this troubles me. I need to know that. It

199
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 5: seems out of.

200
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: It seems like a contradiction.

201
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 5: Yes, and I don't that's not the God that I know.

202
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: No, it's like a sneaky God going go over here,

203
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: and now you went over there. There's a lot going

204
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: on here. And if this involves the of the Lord.

205
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: And if you notice, the Angel of the Lord does

206
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 1: not kill.

207
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 5: Him, No, he doesn't.

208
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: No, he actually gives him. The concern here is about

209
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: dealing with Balem's greed that in his heart he was

210
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: tempted by the offers that were coming his way. You

211
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: can read Numbers you know, twenty two to twelve, also

212
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: verse seventeen about the temptation, and the intent was not

213
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: about to kill him. It was to remind him of

214
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 1: what his original agreement was, because he kept getting tempted

215
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: and his heart was clearly filled with greed as you

216
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: read on and understand that it wasn't a direct result

217
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: of not in direct contradiction to God's word, but he

218
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: was rejecting it in his heart. So his greed had

219
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: kind of come up with a way. You can read

220
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: about this in numbers thirty one sixteen, come up with

221
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: a way to help Israel's enemies. Will not directly disobeying

222
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: the Lord's command to speak only the words that he

223
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: would give to him, but he found a way to

224
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: kind of backdoor it to corrupt Israel by allowing women

225
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: to marry men of Israel and lead them into idolatry.

226
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: And you can read about that in two Peter two fifteen.

227
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: I hope that that helps Marty. Welcome to the Jesus

228
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: Christ Show.

229
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 6: Good morning, Jesus, hi Hi. I just want to say

230
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 6: a few things very quickly before I get into my

231
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 6: question I came to know you personally very young, at

232
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 6: the age of five. I'm fifty three years old today

233
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 6: and just want to thank you publicly for always being

234
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 6: there and always never ever ever letting me go through

235
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 6: anything without knowing that you were there for me.

236
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: Glory to God. That's wonderful to hear.

237
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 6: Yes, I have a question, and for the first time

238
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 6: in my life, just wondering what a spiritual battle truly is.

239
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 6: My firstborn grandson became very ill two years ago, is

240
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 6: ill today as we speak. And You've been so faithful

241
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 6: to guide and give this family strength, because without you

242
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,239
Speaker 6: we couldn't have done it. But I have other believers

243
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 6: around me that keep saying or asking me what is

244
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 6: the spiritual battle that your family is going through and why?

245
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 6: And as though there were an evil something looming over us,

246
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 6: even though you've been so faithful to be there every

247
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 6: step of the way for us during this trying time.

248
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 6: And so I'm confused why other believers would I would

249
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 6: say that or question that, or.

250
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: Are they acting as if it's like a curse or

251
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: something or some sin broduct that you brought in and

252
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: then therefore this is somehow punitive?

253
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, and I'm blown away and I'm confused about that,

254
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 6: and we lean on you every day and every step

255
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 6: of this way. You have shown us that you are

256
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 6: there and have never left this family.

257
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: Well, I'd like to think that maybe they're miss they're

258
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: missing something, or that really when they're saying spiritual battle,

259
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: that they're just referring to the generic term. There are

260
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: spiritual battles going along in every Christian's life, every single

261
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: one of them. And that's part of the protection and

262
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: growth process of Earth. That's one of the reasons why

263
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: you're here and you're not created in Heaven, you're created

264
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: here on Earth. There's a purification process that goes through

265
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: this life and every Christian in this life that you're experience.

266
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: Romans five three says more than that, rejoice in our sufferings,

267
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: knowing that suffering produces endurance. So those those trials that

268
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: suffering one Peter four twelve, Beloved, do not be surprised

269
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to

270
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: test you, as though something strange were happening to you.

271
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: You shouldn't be surprised. It shouldn't be out of the

272
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: norm for a Christian to go through things through garbage,

273
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: and it's the old bumper stick because you know how

274
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: Christians love the little sayings, the old bumper sticker. That's

275
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: not what your future holds. Who holds your future that's

276
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: important is really the key. And either there's some misunderstanding

277
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 1: as to that concept of spiritual battle, but really you

278
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: should want to welcome it in the sense that it's

279
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: part of the purification process that God is with you

280
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: through throughout the entirety of it. Rejoice in those things

281
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,959
Speaker 1: are good because in those trials is where God reaches

282
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: in and has glory. I mean, listen to the tone

283
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: of your voice when you talk about the things that

284
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: God has done in your life, you know, and those

285
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: times when I've stepped in and those times where you

286
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: felt My presence and all of that is you can

287
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: only talk about that because there are trials in your life.

288
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: If everything was perfect, you know, what are you going

289
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: to say? We life is great and God is good

290
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: and everything's fine. You know how dull is that the

291
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: things in life that are commonly referred to as trials

292
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,239
Speaker 1: are the things that make your life unique to you,

293
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: and your experience is unique to you, and your endurance

294
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: and strength and spiritual growth unique to you and your

295
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: family in this case, and that's not a bad thing.

296
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: It's bad in the world. You know, we were having

297
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: this discussion earlier about what's bad and what's good, and

298
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: the world gets confused about those things. There are many

299
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: things that are painful and that can cause pain or

300
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: turmoil that are good for you. And so I wouldn't

301
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: look at that as a as a pejorative or a

302
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: negative term. When someone says spiritual battle, I would look

303
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: at that as you know, you go through Ephesians and

304
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: you see where it talks about the armor of God.

305
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: What do you think the armor of God's for spiritual battles?

306
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: Spiritual battles exactly to protect you from evil. And if

307
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: you could see what's taking place on a daily basis

308
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: in the spiritual realm around you, in the battle front,

309
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: and angels with swords drawn to defend and all these things,

310
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: it's quite fantastic, beautiful and terrifying to those who don't believe.

311
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: But you're a believer and you're covered in that. And

312
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: if somebody says you're going going through a spiritual battle,

313
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: you look at them and say, thank you God, God

314
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: sees you in the light that you are worthy of protection,

315
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: you are worthy of refinement, you are worthy of being

316
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: in a place that you can glorify God. And that's

317
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: what comes from.

318
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 6: Trials, and we do every single day we give God

319
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 6: the glory because we give you the glory because of

320
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 6: the fact that you have proven doctors wrong. You've every

321
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 6: time we receive bad news, you do. Your perfect plan

322
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 6: is shown to us. And you've been so faithful to

323
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 6: do that. And this family has grown spiritually and pulled

324
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 6: together and has brought us so closer. But we lean

325
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 6: on you daily.

326
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: Daily, We lean on you, and people see that and

327
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: that's part of your testiment of faith and it's part

328
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: of who you are. And it's not about the outcome.

329
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: Everybody's always saying. You know, you see these Christians that

330
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: are always walking around with smiles, and you know they're

331
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: not always happy. It's not about always being happy. It's

332
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: a joy is different. Happiness is a momentary feeling of

333
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: joy due to a happening. Something happened and you go,

334
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: now I'm happy. But joy, true joy comes in times

335
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: of pain. It's an understanding that God is there and

336
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: that God provides, and it's a constant and you're gonna

337
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: have highs and lows, and there's gonna be good things

338
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: and bad things that happen to you by the world's standards.

339
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: But ultimately you keep that attitude, Marty, that God is

340
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: with you and that it's all to glorify God, and

341
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: you're ahead of the game. People misunderstand things. I think

342
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,239
Speaker 1: about this for a second. Every time you refer to

343
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: someone as courageous. You know, if you think of your

344
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: firefighters or law enforcement or military, or any of these

345
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,959
Speaker 1: people that put their life on the line for you

346
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: on a daily basis, for your freedoms, for the peace

347
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: of mind, all of these things, your protection, that the

348
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: very things that you call them, the very attributes that

349
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: you find noble or heroic or courageous, don't exist without turmoil,

350
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: without fire, without gunfights, without you know, ugliness and adversity.

351
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: That really it's that purification. It's those trials that really

352
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,239
Speaker 1: show the character of an individual or shower show that

353
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: the true faith and makeup of somebody. And this attitude,

354
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: not that you certainly don't have, Marty, but this attitude

355
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 1: that I've heard from time to time with Christians, that

356
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: it's Christianity is supposed to make everything okay, and that

357
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 1: you're always fine and there's never a problem. More, there

358
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 1: aren't these tests. Now, spiritual battle is true. But every

359
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: Christian should be going through a spiritual battle of one

360
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: kind or the other. And I'll tell you something, the

361
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: closer you get to God, the more that you might

362
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: experience because it's the hotter the fire, the more refining

363
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: that fire, the hotter it will get. One Peter one, p.

364
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: Seven says, so that the tested genuineness of your faith,

365
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested

366
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: by fire, may be found to result in the praise

367
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

368
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: The purification of gold goes through a heating process, in

369
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: a process of trials, if you will, And Scripture talks

370
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: about the dross being scraped off the top and thrown

371
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: to the side. The dross is the imperfections, it's the

372
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: it's the oils or certain minerals that shouldn't be there,

373
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 1: or whatever dust that during the heating and purification process,

374
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: that which doesn't burn out, that doesn't just burn up,

375
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 1: goes to the top. When you're heating these metals and

376
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: getting them pure, and you see those stamps on the

377
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: side of metals, whether it be jewelry or what have you,

378
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: that talk about their purity that comes from the heating,

379
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,479
Speaker 1: that the processing of those metals to get them to

380
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 1: a point of perfection in the eye of the maker.

381
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: And if you're a believer, you should be going through

382
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: these things. You should be going through experiences that are tough,

383
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: that are testing, that that are purifying who you are

384
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: and what your faith is. And that you shouldn't be surprised,

385
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: as it says in one Peter four twelve, you shouldn't

386
00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: be surprised about fiery trials in your life. You should

387
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 1: be content with God's grace and you should know that

388
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: you're going to go through these tests. So if anyone

389
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: comes up to you and says that you know and

390
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: uses it as a as a negative term or says that, oh,

391
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: like the it's some weakness in your faith. On the contrary,

392
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: it could very much be due to the intensity of

393
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,239
Speaker 1: your faith. The enemy putting special attention on you and

394
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: I want to attack you because of the intensity of

395
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: your faith, and that should be understood, and don't take

396
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: it on yourself. And the weight on your shoulders is

397
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: if you've done something wrong because that's not the case.

398
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 1: Just a little bit of time, let's talk dominic. Welcome

399
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: to the Jesus Christ Show, Marnie. How can I help you?

400
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was wondering. I've been in the business that

401
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 4: I'm in for thirty five plus years, and I've noticed

402
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 4: a lot of changes over the years. My question tends

403
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 4: to be too as being.

404
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 7: A Christian, you're supposed to love everybody and try to

405
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 7: do the best you can. But over these last years,

406
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 7: I've noticed, like I don't know, people seeming really judgmental

407
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 7: and very critical of whatever you do, and you know,

408
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 7: it kind of leads to tend.

409
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 4: Me to not like them.

410
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 7: Also, if you understand what I'm saying.

411
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: Just what kind are you?

412
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 6: In?

413
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: Law enforcement? Or you work in the medical field.

414
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 7: No, I'm by working the transportation industry.

415
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: I see because we hear a lot of people that

416
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: when you're dealing with lots of people, you're gonna get

417
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: all kinds. I mean, if you listen to the show,

418
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: you can hear that we get all kinds of people

419
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: going through all kinds of things here too.

420
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been hearing that this morning.

421
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: But really it's it's not about them it's about you.

422
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: You can't control what other people do for the most part.

423
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: You have to control what you do. And I agree

424
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: with you. My having a conversation with my producer Neil recently,

425
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: he's been getting really really bummed about people's attitudes and

426
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: reality TV and how everybody's looking to pick people apart

427
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: or even tear into their past or look for ugly

428
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: things and to tear people down. And you have to

429
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: see a lot about of that too when you're all

430
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: you're trying to do is help people get from point

431
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: A to point B and and do your part to

432
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: make society run, or to help people in a small way, but.

433
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 7: Help society run. Because I'm wow.

434
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 4: I'm a truck driver, you know, and I.

435
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 7: Call goods from the Colorado, Kansas area to the West

436
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 7: coast and back.

437
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. And here's the thing is you're hauling goods

438
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: that those people that are honking at you, were swerving

439
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: and driving in front of you, or all those things

440
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: that you're driving goods for them. And it's very easy

441
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: to get frustrated. But here's the deal, Dominic. All I

442
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: need from you is to find that piece and that

443
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: attitude that I had on the cross that forgive them father,

444
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: for they know not what they do. You have to

445
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: allow yourself to not be burdened by that, to smile,

446
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: to wave, to do your part, to breathe that and

447
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: perpetuate that is what your job is. No matter if

448
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: you're moving people or if you're moving goods, the whole

449
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: point is you're making You're making things go. You're trying

450
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: to be a part of the system in the most

451
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: positive way. People will bring you down if you allow them.

452
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: And there's an old trick like if you set down

453
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: cross leg on the ground and someone was standing up,

454
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: even if they're strong, if they try and pull you

455
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: up by the arm and you try and pull them down,

456
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: it's always going to be so much easier. The leverage

457
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: is going to be on there and to pull you

458
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: down much easier than it is for you to pull

459
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: them up. Life is like that, even emotionally. It's much

460
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: easier for someone to bring you down than it is

461
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: for you to bring them up. So we need more

462
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: people like you staying in a possible positive frame of

463
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: mind to lift other people up. And the only thing
