1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: Hey, I'm coming to you now from the basin. This 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: is a special bonus teaching that I recorded just for 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: you to break it down a little more, to take 4 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: it a little deeper. I hope you enjoy this overflow message. 5 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: Let me know, let's go. We have choice to make today. 6 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: Boom corrupted created, old self, new self, deceitful desires divinity within. 7 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,959 Speaker 1: What choice am I making today? The beauty of it 8 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 1: is which one of me? You know, when you find 9 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: yourself struggling and going, all right, well, there's a part 10 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 1: of me that wants to do the worst thing in 11 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: the world, say the worst thing in the world, be 12 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: the worst thing in the world, be lazy, not do 13 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: anything that God is calling me to do. There's another 14 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: part of me that really does want to do what 15 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: God wants me to do. Which one is really me? 16 00:00:58,840 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 2: You know? 17 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: And and then a lot of times we just settle 18 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: for the lower one. Oh, that's really me, that's just 19 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: me being me. I'm just being me, right, That's that 20 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: elevation of authenticity where we're like the meat that I 21 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: am right now is the me that I'm going to be, 22 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: and nobody's going to change me. And we start living 23 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: out the advice in our fifth grade yearbook never change, 24 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: raise hell over the summer, all right, we elevate our 25 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: self and we put ourself in our current state as 26 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: being the ideal. And that's not what the Scripture said 27 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: has said we want to be like God, and even 28 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: more specifically, that we were created to be like God. 29 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: So which one's really me thinking, dang, one is being 30 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: corrupted by deceitful desires. One was created to be like God. 31 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: And when you think about all of the Bible stories 32 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: Old Testament and all the Scripture's New Testament that reinforced this, 33 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: you can't get away from it that God has things 34 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: in mind for us, whether they be gifts that he 35 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: wants to give us or things he wants to do 36 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: through us. 37 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 2: And our decision to live into. 38 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: That or not to live into that does play a part, 39 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: plays a big part. And so I decided today to 40 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: put on these workout clothes and go work out. There 41 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: was a decision. Nobody dressed me. I didn't sleep in 42 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: these clothes. 43 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 2: I could have. 44 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: Maybe that's a strategy in the future going forward, but 45 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: a decision today, and will I decided again tomorrow? 46 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: I hope. So it's a pattern I think I will. 47 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 2: I will. How am I going to decide that? Well? 48 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: I decided that. 49 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna work out on these certain days, physical exercise. 50 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 2: And that's what I'm gonna do. 51 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: If I wake up tomorrow and go, do I feel 52 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: like working out, my shoulder is going to say no, 53 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: you feel that you feel that right there that you 54 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: need to day off, and sometimes you do, but you know, 55 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: my lower back is gonna be like we're still tight 56 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: from just day. We can't do leg day like day tomorrow. 57 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I just realized that I have like 58 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: day tomorrow. So how am I gonna decide tomorrow morning 59 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: whether or not to put on these clothes and go 60 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: in that workout room and do that workout again? 61 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 2: How am I going to decide? 62 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: Well, I do it based on my priorities, what I 63 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: want most, or by my feelings and my emotions. What 64 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: I want now? Because what I want now another thirty 65 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: minutes of sleep? What I want now, anything but that 66 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: squad rack? Oh god, I hope we don't have any 67 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: Bulgarian split squad nonsense tomorrow on like day. See, like 68 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: right now, even thinking about it makes me go I 69 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: better come in it to put on these clothes tomorrow 70 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: and go through that consistent routine tomorrow. 71 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 2: I'm not going to do it. 72 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: What in the world are you talking about right now, 73 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: Pastor Stephen Simple, I'm talking about the place that your 74 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: emotions have in your decisions. Emotions have a place. We 75 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: got to pay attention to how we feel. How else 76 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: would we know when to rest. We got to pay 77 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: attention to how we feel. How else would we know 78 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: what God is leading us to do. We kind of 79 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: have to feel it, right. There has to be a 80 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: sense that we get. How else would we know how 81 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: to let love? And if we didn't feel. Feelings have 82 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: a place. Emotions have a place, But I want to 83 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: make the case to you that they don't belong on 84 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: the throne of our life. Emotions have a place, and 85 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: that place is not the throne. Okay, Jesus is on 86 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: the throne. Christ is on the throne. Practically speaking, that 87 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: means that what he speaks, what he wants, the bigger 88 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: picture of where He's taking my life and how he 89 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: wants to use me, and what I believe by faith 90 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: he's called me to do. 91 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: Even though I'll always feel. 92 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: That that belongs on the throne, not my feelings. You're like, 93 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: that's obvious, isn't it. No, we don't live like that. 94 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: We put our feelings on the throne. We want to 95 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: go off, we go off. We want to skip, we skip. 96 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: And some people are better at this than others. You know, 97 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: some people are good at pushing through. People are good 98 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: at hold him back. But I know we all have 99 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: places that we can grow in this where we don't 100 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: always feel like saying something encouraging to someone because it's 101 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: kind of embarrassing. But if God wants me to say 102 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: something encouraging to somebody, I should say it. Sometimes we 103 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: feel like doing something super sinful to feel relief in. 104 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 2: A moment, just giving into temptation. It's not that bad. 105 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: I have those moments too, and sometimes I give in 106 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: and sometimes I resist. But the moments that I give in, 107 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: it's usually because I put my feelings or emotions or 108 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: desires that's where I wanted to get. I'm glad I 109 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: remember this. Deceitful desires that's how we get corrupted. And 110 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: you know what's funny about a deceitful desire. You don't 111 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: know it's deceitful, or else it wouldn't be deceitful. 112 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 2: With it. 113 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: You don't know you're being deceived, or else you're not 114 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: being deceived. If you know you're being deceived, then you're 115 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: not being deceived. You're just deciding to do something. But 116 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: if if you're being deceived by the desire, what does 117 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: that mean? That means I think I want this, And 118 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: I've been many times in my life pummeled and punished 119 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: by the consequences of things I thought I wanted. 120 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 2: I know you have too. 121 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: The call to maturity in Christ and the call to 122 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: grow up in Him and let more and more of 123 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: His grace permeate our lives is Psalm thirty seven four. 124 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: To light yourself in the Lord, and he will give 125 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: you the desires of your heart. Who will he will? 126 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: That does not mean he gives you everything you want. 127 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: That would be a way to read that verse. He 128 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: will give you the desires of your heart. Oh awesome, 129 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: Let me give you my list. God, this is what 130 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: I want. He will instill the desires so he can 131 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: fulfill the desires. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours be done. 132 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: And that's the process we have to go through of 133 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: putting off and putting on. 134 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 2: So, like I said, a few days ago. The tricks 135 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 2: of the trade. 136 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: I use that phrase, which can mean like, you know, 137 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: you use some high pressure sales tech me to get 138 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: somebody to buy something if you're a salesman, or you 139 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: kind of cut corners if you're building something and sell 140 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: it as thing when it's really another. 141 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 2: But they'll never know. The enemy has tricks of the trade. 142 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,239 Speaker 1: He tries to get you to trade things that matter 143 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: most for things that meet now needs now needs. 144 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: I want for better, I want to forget. I want 145 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 2: to get out of it. 146 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: And then we do things and we put on the 147 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: old self and we think we want relief, but we 148 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: really want freedom, and so we don't give freedom, we 149 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: get slavery, deceitful desires. You have some I have some 150 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: could be going after certain people's approval and then finding out, wait, 151 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: they're they're screwed up. They're more screwed up than I am. 152 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 2: That's a mess. Oh man, I hope this, uh, this teaching. 153 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: Doesn't sound dark or condemning, because the choice we have 154 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: is we can put on the righteousness of Christ and 155 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: we do that daily. And an interesting that the default 156 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: setting here isn't that you have Christ on. That's That's 157 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: what I thought it would be. Keep Christ on, keep 158 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: the new self on, don't take it off and put 159 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: on the old self. No, it starts with putting off, 160 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: which means that many days and many situations that I face, 161 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: my default reaction is not. 162 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 2: Going to be the best one. 163 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: Remember how Jacob and Esau were fighting in the womb 164 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: and when it came time for Rebecca to give birth, 165 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: you know, they were fighting. I remember Jacob tried to 166 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: come out first. He was grabbing Esau's heel, and so 167 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: they named him trickster. That's what Jacob means. And then 168 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: verse twenty seven, this is the verse that I've been 169 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: thinking about. Verse twenty seven, Genesis twenty five, twenty seven. 170 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 2: I found it. 171 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: The boys grew up and Esau became a skillful hunter. 172 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: And what's funny about that is it's describing physical growth. 173 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: They grew up. That's describing the fact that they matured physically. 174 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: They'll watch this. What happens a lot of times is 175 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: we grow in our bodies, and we even grow in 176 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: our skills and our interest. He's a skillful hunter, right, 177 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: he's good at hunting. But there's some growth that doesn't 178 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: happen on the inside of Esau. And this is the 179 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: story I'll read before I close it said, he grew up. 180 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 1: Both of the boys grew up, and Esau became a 181 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: skillful hunter, a man of the open country, while Jacob 182 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: was content to stay at home among the tents. Isaco 183 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: had to taste for a wild game. Loved Esau, but 184 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: Rebecca loved Jacob. Once, when Jacob was cooking some stew, 185 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: Esau came in from the open country. 186 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 2: Famished. 187 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: He said to Jacob, quick, let me have some of 188 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: that red stew. I'm famished. That's why he's called eatom 189 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: eat I mean dread, and the Israelite would have challenges 190 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: with the Edomites throughout their history. Jacob replied, for some 191 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: of your birthright. Look, I'm about to die. Esau said, 192 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: what good is the birthright to me? And so you 193 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: know verse thirty three, Jacob said, swear to me first. 194 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: So he swore an oath, selling his birthright to Jacob. 195 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lental stew. 196 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: He ate and drank and then got up and left. 197 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: So Esau despised his birthright. Wait a minute, that's not 198 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: what he did. He ate stew, he didn't despise his birthright. 199 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: He didn't say I hate my birthright, you can have it. 200 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,239 Speaker 1: But the net effect of it was that he valued 201 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: something now more. What did he value now more satisfying 202 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: his physical hunger? And I'd been there before, where Like 203 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: physically I was anxious and I wanted to stop feeling anxious, 204 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: Or physically I was bored and I wanted to not 205 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: feel bored. Physically, I was lonely. I didn't want to 206 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: feel lonely, so. 207 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 2: I just go to stuff. 208 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: Physically, I was scared, so I wanted to not be scared. 209 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 2: And I reach for things that are like stew. 210 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: I know STU is not a bad thing, but sometimes 211 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: I reach for things that are worse than that. What 212 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: it shows me about Esau in this moment is that 213 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: his emotions were on the throne. He had a deceitful desire. 214 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: This desire was not bad, I want to eat, but 215 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: the deceit was in that he was more focused on 216 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: what he wanted to eat than who he was called 217 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: to be. As it. 218 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 2: What he wanted to eat versus who he was called 219 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 2: to be. 220 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: Because when you hear the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, 221 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: it was meant to be the god of Abraham, Isaac 222 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: and Esau because he was the first born. 223 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 2: But it wasn't. It wasn't, and therefore. 224 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: Jacob ended up taking the place of Esaul. Yesaul was 225 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: still blessed in his own way, but it was costly. 226 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: And this isn't a message to say, hey, for the 227 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: mistakes that you've made and the bad trades that you've made, 228 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: you can't make a comeback, because yeah, Esau never got 229 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: that blessing back, but he was still blessed. The decision 230 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,599 Speaker 1: today isn't like about something that we gave up in 231 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: the past, whether that's yesterday or five minutes ago or 232 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: years ago. The decision is about what to do going forward. 233 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: And the question is deceitful desires will corrupt you. You 234 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: won't even know what's happening because you're being deceived. But 235 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 1: this new attitude that we have available in Christ, as 236 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: we daily exchange what we think, what we want, what 237 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: we feel for what He says, walk by faith, not 238 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 1: by sight, this new way of being, this new way 239 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: of living in the world, is available to us. And 240 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: the fact is, this is who we really are. This 241 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: is who we really are, This is that other stuff 242 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: that the world puts on top of us. 243 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 2: But God created you to do good works, to be 244 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 2: his masterpiece, to be his poem. 245 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: And I want you to experience that as much as possible, 246 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: and I want to experience that more in my life. 247 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 2: God help us today. 248 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: To dethrone our emotions, to give them place in our lives, 249 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: but not first place. 250 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 2: You have first place. 251 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: And when it comes to a nevertheless moment in our 252 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: life where we don't want to drink the cup but 253 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: we need to.
