1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 2 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 2: What clouds your judgment? Have you ever given that any 3 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:17,119 Speaker 2: any thought, person, place, thing, whatever it might be that 4 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 2: clouds your judgment because you know right from wrong. Of 5 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 2: course you do. Even those who do wrong in life 6 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 2: know right from wrong. You can go to the extremes 7 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 2: and you can think about criminals. The murderer might take 8 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 2: someone else's life, so you may assume because of that 9 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: that the murderer thinks it's okay to take life. Not necessarily, 10 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: because if you try to take the murderer's life, he 11 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: will know, or at least believe, what you're doing is wrong. 12 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 2: The thief may break in and steal from others, but 13 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: try to break in his place and steal his things, 14 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 2: and he'll know it's wrong. Although there are certain absolutely 15 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 2: types of psychosis that play a part in crime, I 16 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 2: want you to think of it a little bit differently 17 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: for a second, because the truth is, criminals often know 18 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 2: right from wrong, but they allow things like greed, entitlement, anger, jealousy, 19 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 2: any of these things to cloud their judgment. It's not 20 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 2: just as cut and dry as well, they're crazy, they're different. 21 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: It's not about that sometimes yes, that plays a part, 22 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: but really it's a justification. It's a justification in their 23 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: mind to do wrong. Their judgment gets clouded and foggy 24 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: based on things going on in their life. What does 25 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: this have to do with you, Well, you too let 26 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: things in your life cloud your judgment, and oftentimes it's 27 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 2: the exact same list of things that I just read 28 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 2: that criminals use. Things like greed, entitlement, anger, jealousy. These 29 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 2: things play a part in your life as well. They 30 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 2: play a part in your life where you use them 31 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 2: to kind of judge things a little differently, maybe on 32 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: a bell curve at work in your relationships, in your 33 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 2: everyday life. You are letting things cloud your judgment. Just 34 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 2: like you may treat a friend differently even if they 35 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 2: did something wrong, you may not point it out or 36 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: you may not tell them is you're doing things a 37 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 2: little differently because your friendship. When it's not about your 38 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 2: friendship as much as it's about the truth or what's right, 39 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 2: your blind devotion to things in your life become false idols, 40 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: and those false idols, whether you like it or not, 41 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 2: steer you away from your better judgment. Even unhealthy devotion 42 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 2: to good things can end up clouding your judgment can 43 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 2: end up being something, something bad, something ugly, something that 44 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: can be damaging to your spirituality, even your physicality. It 45 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 2: could be you can take on things in your own 46 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: life consequences, punishments because you're kind of playing fast and 47 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 2: loose with rules based on your clouded judgment. So if 48 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 2: you are super devoted to anything, if you're devoted to 49 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 2: something and it surpasses all other things in your life 50 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 2: in a way that you will skew your judge based 51 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: on that thing. Whatever it may be, there's a problem. 52 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 2: And maybe it's the devotion to your political party. Goodness, 53 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: it could even be devotion to a sports team of 54 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: some kind. You've seen things go horribly wrong because people's 55 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 2: devotion to a sports team. So a political party, a 56 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 2: sports team, your ethnicity, maybe your blind devotion to a 57 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: job or your family ties. Think about your job being 58 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: blindly devoted to it. Do you have one standard of 59 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 2: rules in your life and you say, well, this is 60 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: right and wrong as a person of faith, But when 61 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 2: it comes to your job, you go, oh, wow, you've 62 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 2: been the rules a little bit. Well, sorry, I have 63 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: to make a buck or I have to do this 64 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 2: for the shareholders or whatever it may be. That if 65 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: you get to that point, then your devotion is to 66 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: your job and not to what is right or wrong. 67 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 2: So it could be your job, it could be your 68 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: family ties. You treat your family in a way where 69 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 2: you never correct them or they can do no wrong. 70 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: I see this a lot with parents nowadays. Your child 71 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 2: can do no wrong, but everybody else's child is the problem. 72 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 2: You're not judging based on the facts, your girlfriend, your boyfriend, 73 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 2: even your religion. Your blind devotion can get so intense 74 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: that you can outlook or overlook the things that are 75 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: right and wrong. You've seen this in the news countless times, 76 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 2: with like the Catholic Church, where people pushed really heinous, ugly, 77 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 2: ugly crimes under the rug for the sake of protecting 78 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 2: the church for all intents and purposes. That's what it 79 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 2: comes down to. So when you hold these things above 80 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 2: right and wrong, you're really holding them above God. Your 81 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: actions stop being guided by the purity of what's just 82 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 2: or unjust, and it starts to be guided by what's 83 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 2: best for you or what's best for your team, whatever 84 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 2: it might be. But it's important that you are just 85 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 2: in life period or will it will eventually catch up 86 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 2: with you. If you don't judge yourself and your actions first, 87 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 2: then you'll be judged by others, just as the Church 88 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: has been countless times throughout history one Corinthians eleven thirty one. 89 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 2: But if we judge ourselves right rightly, we will not 90 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: be judged. Unfortunately, the church spends so much time judging 91 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 2: the non believer and everybody else around them. They forget 92 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 2: that's not even their concern. As a believer. It's not 93 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: your concern to be judging the non believer. Your concern 94 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 2: is the believers, your fellow believers, those that have faith 95 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 2: like you do. God even says to focus your judgment 96 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 2: on those in the church and not the non believer. 97 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 2: First Corinthians five twelve and thirteen says, what business is 98 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 2: it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are 99 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 2: you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside, 100 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 2: expel the wicked person from among you. Start with your own. 101 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: You should be pointing fingers of things that are going 102 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 2: on in the church. That's how it gets better. Don't 103 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: let your judgment be clouded because of your own agenda 104 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 2: and justifications. If you condition yourself to justify bad behavior 105 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 2: or bad judgment with the little tiny things in life, 106 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 2: you will soon find yourself justifying your bad behavior and 107 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: judgment on the big things as well. You must use 108 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 2: your discernment judge things righteously based on the facts, based 109 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 2: on the facts of the circumstance, not just how they 110 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 2: affect you or how they may appear. John seven twenty 111 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 2: four says stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly. 112 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 2: There is a right way to judge, and that's the 113 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 2: way you're called to live your life. Scripture also says 114 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 2: that if you have blind devotion to something, that you're 115 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: destined to go down the wrong path. Proverbs nineteen two. 116 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 2: It is not good to have zeal without knowledge, nor 117 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 2: be hasty and miss the way. You get caught up 118 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: in something, whatever it might be, and you don't care 119 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 2: about anybody that is different than that, and so your 120 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 2: judgment gets skewed. If a criminal focuses on its gang 121 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 2: affiliation or selfish needs, he will morally blind himself and 122 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 2: never be able to see the truth. And if you 123 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 2: only focus on your raise, your political affiliation, your religious denomination, 124 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: you will be doomed the exact same fate. Simply put 125 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 2: you should do things because they are righteous, and not 126 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 2: do them if they are unrighteous. Period, if you cloud 127 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 2: your judgment with a blind bias, your judgment will be 128 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 2: both blind and biased. If you witness a fellow Christian, 129 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 2: someone of the same race or some other trait, or 130 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 2: whether it's the political affiliation, whatever it is that you 131 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 2: may share with them, and you witness them break the law, 132 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 2: it shouldn't make a difference to you. God sees and 133 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: knows all. Nothing including your bias, will be hidden from God. 134 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 2: So it's not about knowing right and wrong. You know 135 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 2: right and wrong, But there are things in your life 136 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 2: that can easily cloud your judgment and impair you from 137 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 2: making righteous decisions because you have this blind devotion to things, 138 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 2: and it can be all kinds of things. It could 139 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 2: be your ethnicity, it can be a political party, your job, 140 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 2: your family relationships, your religion. It's just a matter of 141 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 2: you putting those things on such a high place that 142 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: now you don't judge things based on the facts or 143 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 2: whether they're righteous or unrighteous. You judge them based on 144 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 2: how they fit into your bias or your agenda or 145 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 2: these types of things. Wrong is going to be wrong, 146 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 2: and it should be seen. That way, God sees and 147 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 2: knows everything, Nothing, including your bias, will be hidden from him. 148 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 2: Ecclesiastes twelve to fourteen says, for God will bring every 149 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 2: deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is 150 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 2: good or evil. The Psalmist called out to God for discernment, 151 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 2: as should you saw him One nineteen sixty six says, 152 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 2: teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I trust your commands. 153 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 2: Do you spend that kind of time with God? Do 154 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 2: you look to seek God's truth and knowledge in things 155 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 2: or just your own? The world tries so hard to 156 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 2: conform you to its morality. You must fight. You have 157 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 2: to fight any urge to give in to compromise on 158 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 2: what you know to be true. That should be your standard. 159 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 2: Romans twelve two says, do not conform to the pattern 160 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of 161 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 2: your mind. Then you will be able to test and 162 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: approve what God's will is, his good, pleasing and perfect will. Culture, beliefs, 163 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 2: political views. These are all good things in one form 164 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 2: or another, as long as they don't cloud your judgment 165 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 2: with their own worldly agendas or their own worldly philosophies. 166 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 2: Colossians two eight, see to it that no one takes 167 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 2: you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy which depends on 168 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 2: human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world 169 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 2: rather than Christ. What causes good discernment? While the Word 170 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 2: of God makes it very clear, good unclouded discernment comes 171 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 2: from an abundance of love mixed with knowledge and deep insight. 172 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 2: And those things specifically come from God, nowhere else. So 173 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: if you seek those things in the rest of the world, 174 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 2: you won't find them. You find them in the Word 175 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 2: of God. You find them with God's people through prayer 176 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 2: these things Philippians one nine and ten says, and this 177 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 2: is my prayer that your love may abound more and 178 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 2: more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you 179 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 2: may be able to discern what is best and may 180 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 2: be pure and blameless for the day of Christ. Frank, 181 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 2: Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. 182 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. Hello. First of all, thank you very much for 183 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 3: taking my call. I'm grateful for you, and I'm really 184 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 3: grateful for the program that you have. It's been an 185 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 3: inspiration for me multiple times. 186 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 2: Oh that's kind of that, I say. I'm happy to 187 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 2: be here. 188 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 3: Thank you. Well, my problem is very similar, probably two 189 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 3: millions of others. We're just struggling. I've had several career 190 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 3: challenges over the last ten years, and a divorce, some 191 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 3: other small issues that everyday stuff that people go through, 192 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 3: but one of the scary things for me. And I've 193 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 3: been a Christian for a long time, since eighty four, 194 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 3: I think it was and I believe in the power 195 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 3: of prayer, and I believe it all things are possible 196 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 3: through Jesus. But the last few years I've really struggled 197 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 3: to find things that will help restore some joy and 198 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 3: happiness in my life. I have not really honestly felt 199 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 3: happy in anything for a long time, and I'm a 200 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 3: little scared about that. And I try to do things 201 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 3: that I know that I enjoy. I love to play guitar, 202 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 3: I love to go for walks in local parks. I pray, 203 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 3: you know, friends and family and going to church and 204 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 3: things like that. But I just it's hard to get 205 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 3: out of bed in the morning. And that sounds like 206 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 3: a silly thing to say sometimes, but I need a 207 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 3: stronger source to help me get through, and I'm wondering 208 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 3: if you can help. 209 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 2: Well, of course there's many different aspects to this. In 210 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 2: the broad sense, Scripture is very clear that joy and 211 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 2: happiness are two different things. So think of happiness as 212 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 2: a momentary feeling of joy due to a happening. So 213 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 2: if you play guitar for a little while, if you 214 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 2: go on, you do something, a walk in the park, 215 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 2: whatever it might be, you might get a tiny bit 216 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 2: of joy based on that happening, and that becomes happiness. 217 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 2: It's really it's fleeting happiness. That's why people continue to 218 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 2: seek it because it's not something that exists in its 219 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 2: entirety throughout your person. But joy is James one to 220 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 2: two says, count it all joy, my brothers when you 221 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 2: meet trials of various kinds there And that's a reoccurring 222 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 2: message throughout Scripture and to be in that state of joy, 223 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 2: and so joy is something you should be in. It 224 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 2: has nothing to do with circumstances. It's you're in the 225 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 2: state of joy because you're breathing. That's the mere existence 226 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 2: should put you in that state of joy. Doesn't mean 227 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 2: that you're going to be jumping up and kicking your 228 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 2: heels all the time, but if you're not going to 229 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 2: find it there and the mere fact that you can 230 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 2: pull air and experience this gift of life. There's nothing 231 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 2: there's no thing you're going to do that's ever going 232 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 2: to make that more wonderful. Having said that, there, the 233 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 2: body is made up of many things, chemicals and balances 234 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 2: and all of those things, and if there is an imbalance, 235 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong with going to see a doctor to 236 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 2: see if there's something that needs to be put back 237 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 2: in balance. And that's outside of the scope of this program. 238 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 2: We focus on the moral issues, not medical. But as Christians, 239 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 2: there's no reason why there's this weird thing when it 240 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 2: comes to ailments. When it comes to physical ailments like 241 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 2: a broken bone or something that people can see and 242 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 2: touch and it's very tangible, they have no problem. It's 243 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 2: very simple. It's like, well, why would you walk around 244 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 2: with a broken bone. But when it comes to mental ailments, 245 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 2: that even that term alone makes people nervous because it 246 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 2: sounds like they're unhinged or they're gonna, you know, go 247 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 2: nuts and run around in the circle and they're going 248 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 2: to cause problems. But there's many levels of concern and 249 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 2: things that can need focus with the brain and the 250 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 2: way it works. 251 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 3: So I'm sorry to cut you off. 252 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 2: No, no, please, There's an. 253 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 3: Underlying problem that I'm struggling with here, and I'm sort 254 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 3: of hesitated to bring it up. 255 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 2: Well, please do. 256 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 3: About ten years ago, I left a decent job because 257 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 3: I felt in my heart and in my mind and 258 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 3: after several things that by all accounts shouldn't have happened, 259 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 3: whether it was good luck or timing on the right 260 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 3: thing and the right people, all signs pointed to the 261 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 3: fact that I need to be in a classroom, that 262 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 3: I need to be a school teacher. It's in my family, 263 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 3: it's in my blood. I love being there. It's where 264 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,239 Speaker 3: I feel I'm at my best. So I made some 265 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,959 Speaker 3: very large sacrifices because I felt that God truly had 266 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 3: a plan for me to be a leader, to be 267 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 3: a good example, to be a shining light to young people. 268 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 3: And so I made a lot of sacrifices. And it 269 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 3: is not my main My main complaint is I believe 270 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 3: God gave me that fire, that passion, a desire to 271 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 3: be in a classroom, to be with young people and 272 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 3: to go through the teaching process that I love so much. 273 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 3: And I made a lot of sacrifices to get there, 274 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 3: to make that happen, and it didn't happen for reasons 275 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 3: that were out of my control. And I'm I'm resentful, 276 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 3: I'm angry, I'm frustrated. You know. I remember one of 277 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 3: the stories from the Bible where and God said, you know, 278 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 3: give me your best, you know, and and you know 279 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 3: there's stories about making sacrifices, sacrificing their people, sacrificing their 280 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 3: their their best animal or possession, and giving their best 281 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 3: to God. And I did that, and I'm just frustrated, 282 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 3: and I'm wondering, why would he give me this passion 283 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 3: and desire to to do that and make me feel 284 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 3: like that's where I should go. Uh And then you know, 285 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 3: find out that it's never going to happen. I'm struggling 286 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 3: with that for sure. 287 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 2: So what do you mean it's never going to happen? 288 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 3: Sure, I'll take a step back for a second. Well, 289 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 3: in public schools in K through twelve, if you have 290 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 3: anything more than the minimum requirements, for example, if you 291 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 3: have anything above a bachelor's degree, so if you have 292 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 3: a master's degree or a PhD, the public school districts 293 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 3: usually have an additional stipend or a salary bump for 294 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 3: you Okay, well, in the past, you know, I ever 295 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 3: since two thousand and six and two thousand and seven, 296 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 3: especially in California, you know how bad the budget problems 297 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 3: have been here. So schools will not hire anybody with 298 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 3: that already has a master's degree or PhD because they 299 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 3: don't want to pay the extra money. In addition to that, 300 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 3: public schools are notorious for not hiring anybody over a 301 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 3: certain age. It's just that's just the way it is. 302 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 3: Whether they admit it or not, it's not the point 303 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 3: that's it's just not going to happen. I mean, I 304 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 3: had a glowing resume to be a school teacher, to 305 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 3: be in education, and I couldn't be at the time 306 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 3: of day. I'm a Swiss bockmaker. It just I've been 307 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 3: trying for seven years, and every year you get further 308 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 3: in further way from being in that loop and and 309 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 3: having that chance. I'm going to be fifty next year 310 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 3: or so. 311 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 2: Oh boy, get out the get out the cane, sir, 312 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,719 Speaker 2: and the wheelchair. My goodness, fifty don't you know fifty 313 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:28,479 Speaker 2: is the new forty. 314 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 3: I'm not sure. Yeah, I keep telling usebout that, but okay. 315 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 2: Frank, I really want to kind of expand this a 316 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 2: little bit. First of all, being attentive to God is 317 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 2: an amazing thing and something that many people don't do. 318 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 2: They're they're not attentive. However, I do find a pattern 319 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 2: in those that are attentive that still wrestle with their 320 00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 2: their deep humanness against their spirit. So what happens is, 321 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 2: on occasion God will we'll call or put you know 322 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: this burning inside you, and you will feel the spiritual 323 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 2: calling of that, and inevitably you will humanize it. You'll 324 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 2: throw all the human things on top of it. The 325 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 2: assumption is that God wanted you to do this because 326 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 2: of X, Y, and Z, and you don't know that, 327 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 2: and you don't know what's being taught here. And the 328 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 2: disappointment then as we went down another path earlier about 329 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 2: the possibility of chemical things or what have you, and I, 330 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,199 Speaker 2: you know, think that that's always a reasonable thing to 331 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 2: look at. But the the other is expectation. Disappointment comes 332 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 2: from expectation. Okay, so you finding that ditch where you're 333 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,719 Speaker 2: sitting and you're going, this is not what I wanted? 334 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 2: Is because you expected something God never said this is 335 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 2: what's going to happen. ABCD and going and they're going down. 336 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 2: The entire explanation of what's going to take place. He said, 337 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 2: seek this. Now, if God says seek this, your assumption 338 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 2: you're the one plugging in all the pieces. Well, because 339 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 2: I'm supposed to teach children, I'm supposed to do this, 340 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 2: I'm supposed to do that, And that's not necessarily true. 341 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 2: He may just want to teach you something in that 342 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 2: process about yourself, and people forget that. They get lost 343 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 2: in this path that they've created in their head because 344 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 2: God says, go forward, and you say, okay, go forward. 345 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 2: There's a mountain forward. He wants me to climb the mountain, 346 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 2: and he wants me to buy all this gear, and 347 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 2: he wants me to do that. And he said no, 348 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 2: I said go forward. That's what I said. And you said, 349 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 2: climb the mountain and all these things. So sometimes you 350 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 2: have to strip down to the very simplicity of the 351 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 2: message or the calling. Rather than adding all the you 352 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 2: added all the furniture to it. God says, here's a room, 353 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 2: and you said, okay, well I'm going to put up drapes. 354 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 2: I'm going to do this. And sometimes you build expectations 355 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 2: in that as to what might happen, and it's going 356 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 2: to be some glorious thing. God has called many people 357 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 2: to the mundane, and that has limitations or walls, and 358 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 2: not Okay, get to the top of the mountain. Sometimes 359 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 2: he just says, go to the mountain, and you have 360 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 2: to be hyper attentive and continue to listen. But don't 361 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 2: build those expectations, because with those expectations it comes. It 362 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 2: comes disappointment, and with disappointment comes frustration. With frustration comes 363 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 2: to disconnect from God. 364 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, and. 365 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 2: Then the enemy sits on your shoulder and says, wow, 366 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 2: he promised all this, And think about how many times 367 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 2: you mentioned to me what you gave up? 368 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 369 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 2: Do you think that's God or the enemy? 370 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 3: Yeah? I get it. 371 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 2: So the enemy sits there and going, Man, he did 372 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 2: the same thing to me in the desert. He sits 373 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 2: on your shoulder and he goes, wow, you sure gave 374 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 2: up a lot. 375 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 3: Man. 376 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 2: You've been doing this for God, and man, you're getting 377 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 2: tired and fatigued. You're not even teaching kids, which is 378 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 2: the calling, which wasn't necessarily the calling. But he pushed 379 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 2: you in this direction, and now he's letting you down. No, 380 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 2: because that wasn't part of the calling necessarily doesn't mean 381 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 2: it's not. This may be all part of it, but 382 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 2: you need to go back to square one and be 383 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 2: attentive to what God is doing and be in peace 384 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 2: and in the state of joy and whatever that is, 385 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 2: even if it means nothing, even if it means there 386 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 2: will be no teaching gig, there will be nothing, whatever 387 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 2: it might be. You have a purpose. Who knows just 388 00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 2: yet what that is. Maybe because of the financial issues 389 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 2: of two thousand and six, two thousand and eight and 390 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 2: that put a hold on that has become a process 391 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 2: in the teaching, you know, has become this thing that's 392 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 2: kind of assumed and you knocking on the doors slowly 393 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 2: breaking then that down. Who knows, But God has given you. 394 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 2: Don't add to God's calling. He says, do this. Don't 395 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 2: go oh do this because of Oh you want me 396 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 2: to do this, then you want me to do that. No, 397 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,360 Speaker 2: he says, just do this and for now. If that's 398 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 2: what you've been called to, then that's what you should do. 399 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 2: And be attentive and say, I'm here at point A 400 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 2: where you told me to go, and I'm standing by 401 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 2: waiting for the next call. But don't He's never calling 402 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 2: anybody into you know, illness or poverty. In that sense, 403 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 2: there's no sense that you can't get a job or 404 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 2: can't continue living life as you're being attentive to God. 405 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 2: They're not mutually exclusive there. And I think that that, 406 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 2: you know, people get a calling and they kind of 407 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 2: drop everything sometimes and sometimes it's just come stand over 408 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 2: here for now and getting you set up. 409 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 3: It's really easy to get into that mind frame that 410 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 3: you just explained, well, he's calling me in the directions 411 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 3: that must mean that this, this iss and this is 412 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 3: going to happen all that. It's just it's really easy, 413 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 3: and I can see how I developed that over time. 414 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 2: That's humanness. And you get ahead of God and then 415 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 2: you turn around you go, well where is he. God's like, 416 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 2: I'm standing right here where I told you to meet me. 417 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 2: And you're like, oh, well, now I'm at the top 418 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 2: of the mountain. I never said go to the top 419 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 2: of the mountain. I said move forward. So I think 420 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 2: that you're very sensitive to what God has to say, 421 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 2: and I think that's wonderful. So be attentive, go back 422 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 2: to where He sent you, take a deep breath, and 423 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 2: enjoy life in its fullness, good, bad, ugly otherwise, and 424 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 2: stand in that place for now, Frank, and trust that 425 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 2: God will speak to you. Jennifer, Welcome to the Jesus 426 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 2: Christ Show. 427 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 4: Good morning. 428 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 3: How are you? 429 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 2: I am well? How are you? 430 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 3: I'm wonderful. I have a question. 431 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 4: I see my prayers at night before I fall asleep, 432 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 4: but sometimes I question the way I pray, and I 433 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 4: wonder if I'm doing it correctly. Generally, I just I 434 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 4: go over my day, I give thanks, I pray for guidance, 435 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 4: I pay pray for strength, I pray. 436 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,239 Speaker 3: For everybody I can think of. 437 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 4: Sometimes I fall asleep when I pray, and I just 438 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 4: I feel I feel guilty sometimes that maybe I'm not 439 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 4: doing it right. 440 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 2: What part is making you feel guilty or what part 441 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 2: is making you feel you're not doing it right? 442 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 4: Well? When I fall asleep in the middle of a prayer, sometimes. 443 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 3: Then you know, but just. 444 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 4: You know, I don't pray for things, but I don't know, 445 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 4: I just maybe I just you know, I wasn't brought 446 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 4: up with religion or or you know, I'm understanding really 447 00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 4: and so I kind of had to find it on 448 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 4: my own, and so I just wonder, you know, is 449 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 4: this Am I doing this right? 450 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 2: Well, yes, there's a couple of things that it says 451 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 2: in scripture that would be an issue. And some of 452 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 2: the things were like mantras or when you're saying something 453 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 2: over and over and over again rather than talking with God, 454 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 2: connecting with God, and things like that. But if you're 455 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 2: just making requests and you're you're connecting your you're kind 456 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 2: of talking to God like any other relationship. The scriptures 457 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 2: give you and Matthew six give you a breakdown. You know, 458 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 2: the Lord's Prayer and it says, pray, then in this way, 459 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 2: our Father, who art in heaven, how itoud be thy 460 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 2: name the Kingdom come, that will be done on earth 461 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 2: as it is in heaven. Give us this day our 462 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 2: daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also 463 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 2: forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, and 464 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,479 Speaker 2: deliver us from evil. So if you break that down, 465 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 2: you will find that that prayer will give you a 466 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 2: guideline of how you should pray, praising God, asking for 467 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 2: certain things that you need, your daily bread, asking for forgiveness, 468 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 2: and you can use that as kind of a guideline 469 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 2: how to pray. But I think you're doing just 470 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: Fine kf I AM six forty on demand
