Speaker 1: We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 1: your life.

7
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 3: Y don't We will love you, Lord, We honor you

8
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 3: in this place.

9
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting that there's so much information out

10
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 2: there bombarding us on how to take care of our

11
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: physical bodies, how to eat right, what supplements to take.

12
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 2: If you read articles are saying you need to get

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 2: in this many hours of sleep, do your exercises. Just

14
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 2: so many ways these days to take care of our

15
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: physical bodies, and that is so important. Our physical bodies

16
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: are a temple to house our spirit.

17
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 3: It's the temple of God.

18
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: So we need to take care of our bodies the

19
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: best we can. You know, you can have though a

20
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: very strong physical appearance outside. You can look really great

21
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: on the outside, but you can be weak and weary

22
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: on the inside.

23
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 3: You see, we have.

24
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 2: An inner man, and that inner man is the core

25
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: of who we really are.

26
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 3: That inner man is how we respond to life.

27
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: Not long ago, I hurt my shoulder, so bad that

28
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: I literally couldn't lift it.

29
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: It was crazy.

30
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it was happening, Timmy. But my muscles

31
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: just weren't firing. Something I had done. I just must

32
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: have moved a funny way. I don't know, but my

33
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: shoulder was hurting so bad. Now, y'all, I am not

34
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 2: telling you all my woes, Okay, I'm making a point

35
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: about the time my shoulders started feeling good. It took

36
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: about five days for my shoulder to feel good. I

37
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: got up the next morning so excited and my back,

38
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: my lower back was killing me. I could hardly even

39
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: bend up. I thought, what is happening to me? I'm

40
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: falling apart.

41
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: This can't be. So I went to the doctor.

42
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: I said, doctor, human, I don't know what's going on

43
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: with me. And I began to tell him what was happening.

44
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: He gave me an X ray. He looked me over,

45
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: checked me over, and he said, you know, I'm going

46
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: to write you a prescription to the physical therapist. He said,

47
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 2: it doesn't look like that any of your muscles a tore.

48
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: Your disc seemed to be fine, nothing's bulging, nothing's happening.

49
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 3: You need to go to a physical therapist.

50
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 2: So I went to the physical therapist and I gave

51
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 2: him my paperwork and I was like, this is what

52
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 2: the doctor said.

53
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 3: Look at it and maybe you can help me out.

54
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: So he was reading the instructions of the doctor gave him,

55
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: and then he began to ask me to do a

56
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: few movements, just daily movements, things we do all the time.

57
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: Reach to the side, bend over, stretch up, just some

58
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: different things.

59
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: Walk back, walk forth. Then he looked right at me

60
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: and he said, Victoria, He said, your core is weak.

61
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 3: He said, you need to build up your inner core muscles.

62
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: He said, you know, when.

63
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: We go through the day, we feel like that. You know,

64
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: our extremities do all the work. So we'll grab something,

65
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: we react to something. And he said, but really, if

66
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 2: you have a strong core, it engages your core first,

67
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: and then your core helps your body move without injury.

68
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 2: And he said, if you don't engage and start working

69
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: on this core, he said, these injuries could become more

70
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: frequent and they could get worse with time. Do you

71
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: know that's how our inner man works. See, our inner

72
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: man is the core who we are. It's our identity.

73
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: Our inner man controls our attitudes and it regulates our thoughts. See,

74
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: when we have a strong inner man, it engages the

75
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: rest of our life and helps our life become easier.

76
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: In fact, the injuries that.

77
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: We suffer sometime is because we're not engaging our spiritual man.

78
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 3: We're saying things we shouldn't.

79
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: We're in strife with our spouse, we're pushing our children away,

80
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: we're not liking our job. So it's not helping us

81
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: any because see, our extremities are doing it.

82
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: It's called the flesh. We need to engage.

83
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: This innercore, this spiritual man, so that we can quit

84
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: having these unnecessary injuries. We do not want them to

85
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 2: be frequent in our life. We want to take this

86
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: command center, this spirit man, and we want to walk

87
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 2: in a posture of faith. We want to walk in

88
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: a posture of self discipline, of confidence. See, that's exactly

89
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: what happens when you engage your core muscles. He said

90
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: it it helps you posture yourself. It helps you find

91
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: the strength to move throughout your day. My physical therapist said,

92
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: if you will do these exercises I'm about to give

93
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 2: you and show you, then this will help you tremendously.

94
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 2: He showed me how to do the plank, all different

95
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: ways to do the plank. He showed me a few

96
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 2: other exercises and he said, now do those exercises and

97
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 2: they'll help you. You see, if I do these exercises,

98
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: if I make a habit of doing them, if I

99
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: find space in my day to do them and take

100
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 2: time to do them, they will help me. But if

101
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: I don't, it's going to stay the same. I'm going

102
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: to stay weak in my core.

103
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 3: You see.

104
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: Paul prayed for the Ephesians in chapter three sixteen, and

105
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 2: he prayed this. He prayed that they would be strengthened

106
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 2: with God's power through his spirit in their inner man.

107
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: You see, Paul talked a lot about the outer.

108
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: Man and the inner man and his writings. The inner

109
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: man is strengthened by God.

110
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 3: Through the spirit.

111
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 2: You see, we have got to make time. We have

112
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: got to find room in our busy lives to let

113
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,559
Speaker 2: the Spirit of God minister life to us.

114
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 3: To be touched by the.

115
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 2: Word of God and the very presence of Almighty God,

116
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 2: because that's what strengthens our inner man. We cannot neglect

117
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: this inner man. We don't want to look fine on

118
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: the outside but be weak, undisciplined. Weary our soul on

119
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 2: the inside, you see. So I want to encourage us

120
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: and challenge us today to find that personal relationship with

121
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: God on a daily basis.

122
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 3: Make it a.

123
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: Habit to renew and strengthen your inner man, because that's

124
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: how it's going to happen. And if we don't, we're

125
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: gonna stay the same.

126
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 3: You see.

127
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: We need to read the Word of God. We need

128
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: to decide that God's word is the living, breathing word

129
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: of God and mix with his spirit.

130
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: It feeds our inner man. You see. Joel's dad used

131
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: to say it like this.

132
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: He used to say, some people feed their physical bodies

133
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: three hot meals a day, but they feed their inner man.

134
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 3: One cold snack a week.

135
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: Inner man is gonna make you strong. That's where we're

136
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: gonna get our strength. I love what it says in

137
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: John one one. It says, in the beginning, before it

138
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: all began, was the Word, and the word was with God,

139
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: and the word was God. When you spend time opening

140
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: your Bible and get in the Word, you're spending time

141
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: with God asking ask him to speak to you through

142
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: his word, ask him.

143
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 3: To develop this relationship with him.

144
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: Say God, I want to have a personal relationship with

145
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: this invisible God. Because he may be invisible, but his

146
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 2: rich blessings are quite visible in our life.

147
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 3: They will manifest in strength and power. So my encouragement

148
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 3: to you today is get some scriptures.

149
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: Put them on your mirror, put them on your refrigerator,

150
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: Meditate on the word of God.

151
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: Get it in you.

152
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: When you don't need it'll come out of you when

153
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: you do need it. Listen, build your personal relationship with God.

154
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: I know that he loves you, and he's a great father.

155
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 2: He's not looking at what you're doing wrong.

156
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 3: He's looking at what you're doing right. He doesn't want

157
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: to condemn you. That's not his job.

158
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 2: His job is to convince you how is special you are.

159
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,680
