I like to start with something funny, 44 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 4: and I heard about this elderly gentleman he'd had a 45 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 4: hearing problem his whole life. He went to the doctor 46 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 4: and was fitted with this new, state of the art 47 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 4: hearing aid where he could hear one hundred percent. A 48 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 4: few months later he went back for a checkup. The 49 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 4: doctor said, Wow, your hearing is perfect. I bet your 50 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 4: family is so excited that you can hear again. He said, no, 51 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 4: I haven't told my family. I just sit around and 52 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 4: listen to the different conversations, and I've changed my will 53 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 4: three times, saying, like you mean it, this is my Bible. 54 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 4: I am what it says I am. I have what 55 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 4: it says I have. I can do what it says 56 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 4: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 57 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 4: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my 58 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 4: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 59 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 4: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 60 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 4: about a healthy soul. Spend a lot of time and 61 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 4: energy taking care of our physical body. We try to 62 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 4: eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, and that's all important. 63 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 4: We want to feel good, but we don't spend enough 64 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 4: time taking care of our soul. We don't realize how 65 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 4: much our emotions, our attitudes, our thoughts are affecting us physically. 66 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 4: The scripture says, I wish above all things that you 67 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 4: succeed and be in good health, even as your soul prospers. 68 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 4: This links being healthy physically, having energy vitality, to how 69 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 4: healthy your soul is. If your soul is unhealthy, it's 70 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 4: going to spill over to the physical. If you're living stressed, worried, bitter, guilty, angry, 71 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 4: those negative emotions are not just affecting your relationships, your creativity, 72 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 4: how productive you are, but they're weakening your immune system. 73 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 4: Your cells are not fighting off sickness like they should. 74 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 4: Ninety percent of all doctor's visits to a primary care 75 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 4: physician or stress related. You can't sleep at night, your 76 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 4: food won't digest, you have ulcers. Much of that goes 77 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 4: back to your soul not being healthy. You're worried night 78 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 4: and day about that child, stressed over your finances, holding 79 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 4: a grudge over that person that did you wrong. You 80 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 4: don't realize you're making yourself sick. All that negative energy 81 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 4: is poisoning your soul. Because your soul is unhealthy, it 82 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 4: starts to spill over to the physical. You wake up 83 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 4: in the morning, you wonder why you're still tired. Why 84 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 4: you don't have any energy, It's because your mind worked 85 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 4: all night. Your body laid there, but your mind wrestled, wondered, reason, 86 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 4: what if, how could I? What may happen? You're trying 87 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,799 Speaker 4: to control things that you can't control, trying to fix 88 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 4: people that you can't fix, Worried about a problem that 89 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 4: may not even happen, or even bitter over something that 90 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 4: took place twenty years ago. You can't take in all 91 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 4: those toxins and not be poisoned. You can't let anger, unforgiveness, guilt, 92 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 4: worry dominate your life. If you'll get your soul healthy, 93 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 4: you'll get your energy back. If you'll quit letting the 94 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 4: negative emotions rule, then many of these physical elements will go. 95 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 4: It's all interconnected. In my late twenties, I developed this 96 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 4: redness between my eyes and all around the top of 97 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 4: my face and made my skin flake and it's very itchy. 98 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 4: It looked really bad, and I tried creams, motions, different 99 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 4: face soaps. Nothing improved. I went to a couple of dermatologists. 100 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 4: They gave me prescriptions that would help control it. That 101 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 4: lessened it, but it never went away. A couple of 102 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 4: years later I went to a different doctor. He said, Joel, 103 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 4: I know exactly what's causing it. It's stress. You're living 104 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 4: too uptight, you have too much pressure. I can give 105 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 4: you more medicine, but until you change, until you get 106 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 4: more balanced, it's not going to go away. I was 107 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 4: you hung, had all this energy. I thought, I'm not 108 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 4: under stress. I'm fine. Sometimes we can't see what's poisoning us. 109 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 4: We have a blind spot. We can look in the 110 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 4: mirror and see things. I have this redness, I have 111 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 4: this blimish. We can see the physical, but we can't 112 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 4: see what's happening on the inside. Your inner life is 113 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 4: more important than your outer life. What's going on in 114 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 4: your emotions, how you feel about yourself, what you're allowing 115 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 4: to play in your mind, that's affecting what's happening on 116 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 4: the outside. I was treating the symptom, but not the cause. 117 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 4: I thought, just fix the outside, just clear this redness up, 118 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 4: but it kept coming back. One day I got honest 119 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 4: with myself. I looked at all that I was doing. 120 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 4: I was married to Victoria. That was incredibly relaxing, and 121 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 4: I'm not even gonna joke about that one. We had 122 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 4: a two year old son, another baby coming. We had 123 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 4: moved out of our townhouse and were remodeling this older home. 124 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 4: I had traveled several weeks to India with my father, 125 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 4: was working long hours at the church trying to get 126 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 4: the TV ministry going. I didn't realize it, but I 127 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 4: was living under all this pressure, this stress. Much of 128 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 4: it I was putting on myself. I like to go fast, 129 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 4: work hard, accomplish goals. But here's the key. You are 130 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 4: responsible for your own emotional well being. It's not up 131 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 4: to anyone else. Your spouse can't keep your soul well. 132 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 4: Your doctor, your friends, your parents. Nobody has control over 133 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 4: your soul except you. In one sense, not even God. 134 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 4: He's not going to make you forgive, make you not worry, 135 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 4: force you to not live angry, offended, guilty. These are 136 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 4: choice is that we have to make. My question today 137 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 4: is is your soul healthy? We can see your looks, 138 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 4: your talent, your personality, but what's going on inside? Are 139 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 4: you at peace? Are you turning things over to God? 140 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,119 Speaker 4: Do you know that you're valuable? Is your heart free 141 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 4: from bitterness, offense? Or is their worry, guilt, insecurity, self pity. 142 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 4: Look what I've been through Joe, I'm angry. Yes, I 143 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 4: have this chip on my shoulder because these people did 144 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 4: me wrong. That's poisoning your soul. Like with me, you 145 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 4: may not be able to see it. Sometimes we've gotten 146 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 4: used to these negative emotions. We've adapted. We wonder why 147 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 4: we don't have energy, why we can't sleep, why we're 148 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 4: not creative. You have to get honest with yourself. You 149 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 4: have to look inside and ask why am I so jealous? 150 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 4: Why can't I celebrate my friend's success, Why am I 151 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 4: so easily offended? Why do I argue so much? Or 152 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 4: why don't I feel good about myself? Lady told me 153 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 4: how every time she and her husband had the smallest disagreement, 154 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 4: she would blow up, get loud and come unglued and 155 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 4: be this huge ordeal. The men couldn't understand why she 156 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 4: was so on edge and so easily angered. Over time, 157 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 4: it had become too much their relationship was falling apart. 158 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 4: As a teenager, she had been in a relationship with 159 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 4: a young man that really hurt her. He suddenly broke 160 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 4: up and said some things that were very derogatory. She 161 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 4: felt rejected, like she wasn't good enough, and instead of 162 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 4: letting it go knowing that God is our vindicator, that 163 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 4: what people say don't determine who we are. She held 164 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 4: on too that offense. It was poisoning her spirit, making 165 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 4: her insecure and easily offended. When you don't let go 166 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 4: of things, they never healed. Anytime her husband didn't agree 167 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 4: with her, it was like touching a bruce. She would 168 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 4: push back and lash out. One day, she did what 169 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 4: we all have to do. She got honest with herself. 170 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 4: She looked inside, said why am I like this? Why 171 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 4: do I get upset so easily? She realized it was 172 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 4: from the pains of the past, from things that weren't 173 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 4: fair that she hadn't dealt with. She made the decision 174 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 4: to get the unforgiveness out, the bitterness, the resentment, the insecurity. 175 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 4: That was the turning point. As she got her soul healthy, 176 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 4: her relationships became healthy. Today she and her husband are 177 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 4: happy and enjoying life. What am I saying? Pay attention 178 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 4: to your inner life. It's easy to adapt to things 179 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 4: that are poisoning us and we don't realize it. We 180 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 4: end up going through life just treating the symptoms. If 181 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 4: we would get to the root cause and get our 182 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 4: soul healthy, then God said we will have good health 183 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 4: and good success. Now a question we need to ask 184 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 4: ourselves is, am I I'm making myself sick? Am I sabotaging 185 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 4: my relationships? Am I limiting my potential? Holding myself down 186 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 4: because my soul is unhealthy. Hebrews says, make sure that 187 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 4: no root of bitterness springs forth and defiles you. It 188 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 4: describes bitterness as a root. A root is underground, you 189 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 4: can't see it, but if you let it grow, it's 190 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 4: going to spring forth. A bitter root will produce bitter fruit. 191 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 4: What's on the inside is going to show up on 192 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 4: the outside. We try to fix the fruit. We deal 193 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 4: with the symptom, but the fruit is not the real problem. 194 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 4: We need to go to the source and get rid 195 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 4: of the root. Proverb says, guard your heart, for out 196 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 4: of it flow the issues of life. One of our 197 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 4: main responsibilities is to keep the toxins out, keep those 198 00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 4: roots from springing up. Offenses are going to come, workers 199 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 4: will come, disappointments, hurts, jealousy, anger. You can't stop it 200 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 4: from coming. The question is are you going to let 201 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 4: it take root, get down in your spirit, contaminate your joy, 202 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 4: take your energy, open you up to sickness, trouble, defeat, 203 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 4: O keep your soul healthy. You have to be an 204 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 4: active gardener. Pull up those roots, pull up that in unforgiveness, 205 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 4: pull up that insecurity, pull up that guilt in condemnation. 206 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 4: Don't let your soul become poisoned. If your soul is bitter, 207 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 4: your life will be bitter. Why are you letting that 208 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 4: worry take root? Losing sleep, living stressed out? You've seen 209 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 4: God take care of you in the past. You've seen 210 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 4: him make ways where you didn't see away. You've seen 211 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 4: him provide in a pandemic, give you peace in a storm, 212 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 4: favor in the fire. He did it back then, He's 213 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 4: going to do it again. He didn't bring you this far. 214 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 4: Leave you where you are or why are you holding 215 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 4: onto that guilt? Beating yourself up over past mistakes? God 216 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 4: has forgiven you. Why don't you forgive yourself? God doesn't 217 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 4: remember it. Why don't you quit remembering it? God has 218 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 4: moved on. Why don't you move on? Why are you 219 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 4: jealous over that coworker that got the promotion, that friend 220 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 4: that you think is more talented, more beautiful, more successful. 221 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 4: Now you're finding fault, critical, feeling bad about who you are. 222 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 4: God blessing them doesn't mean he's not going to bless you. 223 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 4: God didn't run out of favor, He didn't forget about you. 224 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 4: He has things in your future better than you've imagined. 225 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 4: But don't let that jealous root keep you poison. Pull 226 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 4: it up, keep your heart pure, celebrate their success. When 227 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 4: your soul is healthy, God can trust you with more 228 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 4: or Why are you still upset over something that happened 229 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 4: twenty years ago? You're still holding a grudge over who 230 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 4: hurt you, who walked away, what you didn't get that 231 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 4: didn't stop God's plan. What they did is not going 232 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 4: to keep you from your purpose. God knew it was 233 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 4: going to happen, and he already had a plan to 234 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 4: bring you out better, to give you beauty for the ashes, 235 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,479 Speaker 4: joy for the morning. Pull up that root of disappointment, resentment, 236 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 4: self pity that's poisoning your future. Don't just deal with 237 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 4: the symptom, get to the root. Learn to live from 238 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 4: a place of faith. God. I trust you. I know 239 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 4: you're in control. You're fighting my battles, You've ordered my steps. 240 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 4: You have a good plan for my life. Lord. I 241 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 4: thank you that you're my provider, my protector, my waymaker, 242 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 4: my deliver, my vindicator. God, My life is in your hands. 243 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 4: That's how you keep your soul healthy on a regular basis. 244 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 4: You have to pull up the roots, get rid of 245 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 4: the toxins, guard your heart. There was this man that 246 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 4: owned all these horses, and he was out riding one 247 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 4: day and this large tree branch had fallen across the trail. 248 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 4: As his horse went to jump over it, it didn't 249 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 4: quite clear and the horse scraped its back leg very badly. 250 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 4: The men took him to the barn, cleaned up the womb, 251 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 4: put some antiseptic on it, wrapped it up. A couple 252 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 4: of weeks went by and he noticed the horse was 253 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 4: still bothered by it. He had the vet nearing come 254 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 4: out take a look at it. He put the horse 255 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 4: on antibotics. He began to improve, but a few months 256 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 4: later the infection came back. The horse could barely walk. 257 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 4: They started another round of antibotics, and like the first time, 258 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 4: the leg got better. The wound began to heal, but 259 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 4: three months later the wound was reinfected. This happened again 260 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 4: and again. The owner finally decided to take the horse 261 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 4: to the clinic find out what was going on. They 262 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 4: put the horse under anesthesia, opened up the wound. They 263 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 4: found this huge piece of wood about the size of 264 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 4: a golf ball, buried way up in the horse's leg. 265 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 4: Every time he went off the medicine, the infection would 266 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 4: keep coming back. They were treating the symptoms, but until 267 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 4: they went deeper, until they got to the root of 268 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 4: the problem, it wasn't going to go away. And we 269 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 4: treat symptoms because we can see the symptoms. It's obvious 270 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 4: have red between my eyes. I need some medicine. We 271 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 4: have to go deeper. We have to deal with the root. 272 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 4: I can't get rid of this headache because I'm so worried. 273 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 4: I'm so stressed. I'm making myself sick. I can't get 274 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 4: along in this relationship because I'm insecure. I don't feel 275 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 4: valuable or I'm not reaching my potential because I'm mad 276 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 4: at myself. I'm living in regrets thinking about where I 277 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 4: should be get that infection out. As long as the 278 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 4: root is there, the fruit is going to be bitter. 279 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 4: And the good news is you control what's in your soul. 280 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 4: You can't control what happened to you, what someone did, 281 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 4: but you can control how you respond, what you choose 282 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 4: to dwell on. Is there some infection, some toxins that 283 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 4: are keeping you from getting well, Some bitterness, worry, guilt 284 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 4: that's keeping you stuck where you can't flourish. Sometimes we 285 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 4: can't get along in a relationship because we have a 286 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 4: root of pride. We think we're right all the time. 287 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 4: We won't listen to others' opinion, we never apologize. We're 288 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 4: hard to get along with. Contentious. That's one of those 289 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 4: toxins that we can always see. You have to look deeper. 290 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 4: It's under the surface. When your soul is healthy, you're 291 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 4: loving and kind, You see the best in others. You're 292 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 4: the peacemakers. You let them be right. David said in 293 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 4: Some One nineteen. God, keep me from lying to myself. 294 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 4: That's one of the most powerful prayers we could ever pray. 295 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 4: That takes as much faith as God. Give me the 296 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 4: compact Ciner. God, help me to be honest with myself. 297 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 4: Help me to look in the mirror and see where 298 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 4: my soul is not healthy, Where I need to change, 299 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 4: where I need to forgive, be more kind and understanding, 300 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 4: Where I need to quit letting people take my joy. 301 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 4: Where I need to get over what happened three years ago, 302 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 4: or where I need to quit beating myself up to 303 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 4: see myself as valuable, attractive, a masterpiece. My prayer is, God, 304 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 4: don't let us go through life lying to ourselves. It's 305 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 4: one thing to be dishonest with others. That's certainly not good, 306 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 4: but don't lie to yourself. Don't sweep things under the rug. 307 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 4: Make excuses for why you're angry, bitter, jealous, hard to 308 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 4: get along with. There's no fault in being there, but 309 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 4: there is a fault in staying there. It may be 310 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 4: your explanation, but don't let it be your excuse. Joel, 311 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 4: I have this ongoing injury because I scraped my leg. 312 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 4: Or get the wood out and move forward with your life. 313 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 4: Why I'm bitter because my loved one died, No, pull 314 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 4: up that route and go out and do great things. 315 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 4: Make them proud by leaving your mark. I'm stressed because 316 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 4: my finances, my children, there pressure at work. You can't 317 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 4: control all that. Don't let circumstances be an excused to 318 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 4: live worried, on edge, short with your children, Get back 319 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 4: in balance, get your soul healthy if you'll look inside 320 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 4: and deal with things that are stealing your peas taking 321 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 4: your joy, causing you to compromise. As your soul gets healthier, 322 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 4: physical healing will come, Your gifts will come out in 323 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 4: greater ways. Your relationships will be better, New doors will open. 324 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 4: It's interesting that David prayed that prayer about not lying 325 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 4: to himself. Maybe it's stemmed from the time he had 326 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 4: an affair with Bathsheba. His men were out fighting a battle. 327 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 4: He stayed back in the palace. One night he went 328 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 4: on to off of the roof to get some fresh air, 329 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 4: and he saw this beautiful girl taking a bath. Instead 330 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 4: of walking away, not going there, he went and got 331 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 4: the binoculars. She was a married woman, but David sent 332 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 4: for it. She ended up getting pregnant. David tried to 333 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 4: cover it up. He had her husband come home from 334 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 4: the battle, but he was so loyal he wouldn't sleep 335 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 4: with her. While his colleagues were out fighting, David told 336 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 4: the commanders to put him out on the front lines 337 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 4: where he wouldn't be protected. He was killed in the battle. 338 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,959 Speaker 4: David took Bathsheba as his wife. He thought everything was fine. 339 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 4: He covered it up, no big deal. But the problem 340 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 4: with burying negative toxins is they never stay buried, those 341 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 4: toxins will eventually come back up and begin to poison 342 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 4: your life. For the next year, while David was lying 343 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 4: to himself, pretending that nothing was wrong, his health began 344 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 4: to deteriorate. He was sick, weakly. He had been strong 345 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 4: his whole life. He was a warrior, but now his 346 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 4: soul was unhealthy. The guilt, the shame, the compromise started 347 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 4: to affect his physical body. He finally got honest and 348 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 4: admitted his mistake. He said, God, create in me a 349 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 4: clean heart. God, forgive me of my wrongs. He was saying, God, 350 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 4: I'm not hiding anymore. I'm going to deal with these 351 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 4: toxins that are poisoning my soul. The beauty of our 352 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 4: God is He's merciful. He'll forgive you. God restored David. 353 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 4: He got his health back, his joy back, and he 354 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 4: went on to fulfill his purpose. But until you get 355 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 4: honest with yourself, deal with what you know is holding 356 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 4: you back, you're going to be limited. As your soul 357 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 4: gets healthier, your body is going to get healthier. You're 358 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 4: going to have more energy, more vitality. David is the 359 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 4: one that wrote in Psalm twenty three. He restores my soul. 360 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 4: Your soul may feel broken today, wounded, hurt from mistakes 361 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 4: you've made, or from what someone else did, But your 362 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 4: soul can be restored when you get honest with yourself. 363 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 4: You release what you need to release guilt, worry, anger, jealousy. 364 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 4: Then healing will come, joy will come, Peace will come. 365 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 4: I believe even now God is restoring souls. Emotional healing 366 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 4: has taken place. Healing from the hurts, the pains of 367 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 4: the past, what wasn't fair, the loss, the heartache, Healing 368 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 4: from self inflicted wounds, mistakes we've made, regrets we're living in. 369 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 4: Healing from tormenting spirits, from mental illness, from anxiety, from depression. 370 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 4: God is doing a new thing. Forces that have held 371 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 4: you back are being broken off of your emotions, your attitudes, 372 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 4: your thoughts. You are not going to live wounded. He's 373 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 4: restoring your soul. Your latter days are going to be 374 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 4: better than your former days. You're about to step into 375 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 4: a new level of joy, peace fulfillment, abundance, victory. Don't 376 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 4: believe those lies that it's too late. You've made too 377 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 4: many mistakes, You've been through too much. No, the best 378 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 4: part of your life is still in front of you. 379 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 4: We knew a man growing up that loved to play 380 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 4: the piano. He was very talented, but he suffered from 381 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 4: rheumatoid arthritis. Over the years that kept getting worse and worse. 382 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 4: Got to the point where his fingers were all bent 383 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 4: over like he was making a fist. He couldn't open 384 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 4: them anymore. All of his joints were swollen. Of course, 385 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 4: he couldn't play the piano. He was so discouraged. He 386 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 4: used to play for hours, and now that dream was gone. 387 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 4: He attended Lakewood and one day he heard my father 388 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 4: speaking about forgiveness and how important it is that we 389 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 4: don't hold onto these hurts, and how that can poison 390 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 4: our life. This man felt convicted. He had held something 391 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 4: against his parents for years. He felt like they had 392 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 4: done him wrong, and instead of letting it go and 393 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 4: showing mercy, he let that bitterness take root. He wouldn't 394 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 4: speak to them, shut them out of his life. He 395 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 4: thought that was the best way to handle it. He 396 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 4: didn't realize that was poisoning his soul. When your soul 397 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 4: is unhealthy, it can affect you physically. That day, he 398 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 4: made a decision that he was going to forgive his 399 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 4: parents make things right. Went to their house and his 400 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 4: mother was weeping as father hugged him, so happy it 401 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 4: was an answer to their prayer. And this man told 402 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 4: how he felt this heaviness, this weight lift off of him. 403 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 4: He had gotten used to it. He forgot what it 404 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 4: was like to be free and not have that bitterness 405 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 4: in the back of his mind, always poisoning his joy. 406 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 4: It was great that his parents wanted reconciliation. They were 407 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 4: happy to have their son back. But there may be 408 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 4: times where the people that did you wrong don't want 409 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 4: to reconcile. They don't want to have you back in 410 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 4: their life. That's okay. You're not forgiving for their sake, 411 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 4: You're forgiving for your sake. Forgive so you can keep 412 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 4: your own soul healthy. Let it go so that negative 413 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 4: root doesn't spring up and contaminate the rest of your life. 414 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 4: They hurt you once, don't let them continue to hurt 415 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 4: you by holding on to it. Let God be your vindicator. 416 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 4: He sees what wasn't fair. He knows who did you wrong, 417 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 4: and he knows how to make it up to you. 418 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 4: He knows how to bring you out better than you 419 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 4: were before. Over the next few months, much to this 420 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 4: man's surprise, his fingers, little by little started opening up, 421 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 4: the swellings started going down. He got better and better. 422 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 4: A year later, he could sit down and play the 423 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 4: piano like he had never missed a beat. It's amazing 424 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 4: what will happen when our soul gets help health, When 425 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 4: we get free from the bitterness, the guilt, the stress, 426 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 4: the worry. That's when healing is released. That's when you'll 427 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 4: see good success, the blessing of God in new ways. 428 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 4: And I realize not all sickness is from a lack 429 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 4: of emotional well being. But anytime you face sickness, you're 430 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 4: going to have to be strong in your emotions, in 431 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 4: what you allow to play in your mind. When my 432 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,439 Speaker 4: mother was sick with cancer, she wrote letters to people 433 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 4: that she thought she may have offended, asking them to 434 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 4: forgive her. She was making sure that there were no 435 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 4: toxins in her spirit, that nothing she was doing was 436 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 4: poisoning her emotional well being. She knew the emotional will 437 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 4: affect the physical. She even watched cartoons, funny programs that 438 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 4: would make her laugh. The scripture says a merry heart 439 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 4: is like taking medicine. Being joyful brings healing but a 440 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 4: broken spirit dries up the bones. You go around discourage 441 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 4: and defeated. Man, this medical reports so bad, I don't 442 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 4: think I'm ever going to get well. You're helping that sickness, 443 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 4: you're giving it life. But when you're cheerful, when you 444 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 4: know God's in control, when you're thanking him when you 445 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 4: could be complaining, you're laughing when you could be crying, 446 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 4: that's sending healing to your body. I believe many of 447 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 4: these diseases would go away, headaches, high blood pressure, digestive 448 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 4: problems if we'd start taking our medicine, laughing, being joyful, 449 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 4: good nature. We focus a lot on the outside, but 450 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 4: today I'm asking you to look inside. Is your soul healthy? 451 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 4: How are you spending the day positive, hopeful, grateful? Or 452 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 4: you weighed down with stress, burdens, worry. How can you 453 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 4: be creative when you're using so much energy for the negative? 454 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 4: How can your immune system work properly when you have bitterness, anger, regrets? 455 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 4: How can you be the mother, the father, the leader 456 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 4: you'll call to be when you have these toxins poisoning 457 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 4: your spirit. It's time to get honest with yourself. Don't 458 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 4: go another year letting something you have control over. Hold 459 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 4: you back, get your soul healthy, pull up those bitter roots, 460 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 4: start turning things over to God. Release the worry, the hurt, 461 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 4: what didn't work out, keep your heart pure. If you'll 462 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 4: do this, I believe and declare, because your soul is healthy, 463 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 4: you're going to have good success and good health. New 464 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 4: doors are about to open. Opportunity is going to find you. 465 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 4: Healing is coming, strength, energy, vitality, the fullness of your 466 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 4: destiny in Jesus's name, and if you receive it, can 467 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 4: you say amen? Today I'd like to give you an 468 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 4: opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of your life. Would 469 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 4: you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent 470 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 4: of my sins. Come into my heart. I make you 471 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 4: my Lord and savior.
