I'll promise you we'll 42 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 5: make you feel right at home. I like to start 43 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 5: with something funny, and I heard about this lady that 44 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 5: died and she was at the Pearly Gates and Saint 45 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 5: Peter said, you can't come in yet. You have to 46 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 5: correctly spell a word. She said what word? He said, 47 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 5: any word, So she spelled the word love lo ovee. 48 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 5: He said, welcome to heaven. Then Peter asked her if 49 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 5: she would take his place for just a moment. He 50 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 5: instructed her if anybody came up, just to follow the 51 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 5: same procedure. A few minutes, she sees her ex husband 52 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 5: walking up. She can't believe it, says, what are you 53 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 5: doing here? He said, I just had a heart attack. 54 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 5: Did I really make it to heaven? She said not yet. 55 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 5: You have to spell a word correctly. He said what word. 56 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 5: There was a long pause, and she said, Czechoslovakia. I 57 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 5: want to talk to you today about emptying out the negative. 58 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 5: It's easy to go through life holding on to things 59 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 5: that are weighing us down. Guilt, resentment, doubt, worry. The 60 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 5: problem is when we allow these things in, they're taking 61 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 5: up space for the good things that should be there. 62 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 5: Imagine your life is like a container. You are created 63 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 5: to be filled with joy, peace, confidence, creativity. But if 64 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 5: you allow worry in, it pushes out the peace. There's 65 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 5: not space for both. You can't go above one hundred percent. 66 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 5: You have a limited amount of room. If you allow 67 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 5: guilt to take up space, that's space that you don't 68 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 5: have for the confidence you need. And the reason some 69 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 5: people don't enjoy their lives is because their container, their heart, 70 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 5: is contaminated with so many things. They have ten percent worried, 71 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 5: stressed out over their job, twelve percent bitterness, mad at 72 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 5: their neighbor, twenty percent guilt beating them solved up for 73 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 5: past mistakes, nine percent jealousy their coworker is more beautiful. 74 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 5: They don't realize seventy percent of their container is negative. 75 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 5: They wonder why they don't have joy, creativity, passion. They 76 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 5: only have room for thirty percent of what they should have. 77 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 5: The scripture says give no place to the enemy. It's 78 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 5: not just talking about forces of darkness. That means give 79 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 5: no place to guilt, give no place to worry, give 80 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 5: no place to bitterness. It can't come in and automatically 81 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 5: take over. You control what's in your container. You control 82 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 5: what you think about, what you choose to allow in. 83 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 5: And we all have negative emotions and negative feelings. You 84 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 5: have to make the choice, I'm not going to give 85 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 5: this jealousy, this bitterness, this anger valuable space and let 86 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 5: it poison my life. I'm going to protect what I 87 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 5: allow in me, and every morning when we wake up, 88 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 5: we need to empty out anything negative from the day before. 89 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 5: Somebody offended you at work, they didn't treat you right. 90 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 5: It's easy to let that offense stay. Feels good to 91 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 5: carry around a grudge, so you have to be disciplined. 92 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 5: Say no, I am not giving this offense any room. 93 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 5: I am not going to let it sour my day. 94 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 5: They hurt you once, don't let them continue to hurt 95 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 5: you by holding on to the offense. Being offended is 96 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 5: not harming them, it's harming you. It's taking up space 97 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 5: you need for the good things that move you toward 98 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 5: your destiny. Or you wake up in the morning and 99 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 5: thoughts of worry come. How are you going to pay 100 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 5: your bills? What if the medical report's not good? You'll 101 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 5: never get out of this problem. Don't allow that in. 102 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 5: Don't make the mistake of dwelling on it. Just say no, thanks. 103 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 5: I know God's in control. He's got me in the 104 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 5: palm of his hand. He'll get me to where I'm 105 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 5: supposed to be. Take inventory of what you're giving space to. 106 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 5: Life is too short to go through it with negative 107 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 5: things holding us down. David said in Psalm one three. 108 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 5: God fills my life with good things, so I stay 109 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 5: young and strong. Now I've learned if you'll empty out 110 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 5: the negative, if you'll make room, God will fill you 111 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 5: with good things. You empty out the worry, God will 112 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 5: fill you with peace. You empty out the insecurity, negative 113 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 5: things people have said about you. God will fill you 114 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 5: with confidence. My question today is is God trying to 115 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 5: fill you with good things but there's no room. Your 116 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 5: container is full of worry, regret, bitterness, jealousy. Why don't 117 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 5: you start emptying that out? Somebody did you wrong? You 118 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 5: could hold on to that bitterness. Instead, God, I forgive them. 119 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 5: I let it go. You didn't just forgive. You made 120 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 5: room for God to fill you with good things. That's 121 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 5: when he'll give you beauty for ashes, joy for morning. 122 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 5: In a tough season, the medical report wasn't good, You 123 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 5: should be stressed worried. Instead, God, I trust you. You 124 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 5: said you would restore health. Beckon to me. You just 125 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 5: made room for God to fill you with healing. You 126 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 5: empty out the worry. God will give you peace in 127 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 5: the midst of the storm. Perhaps a coworker got the 128 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:25,119 Speaker 5: promotion that you work so hard for envy, jealousy will come. 129 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 5: I wish that was me. I'm smarter than they are. 130 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,559 Speaker 5: I don't understand that. Instead of letting that stay, God, 131 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 5: I know you're no respector a person's You did it 132 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 5: for them, I know you can do it for me. 133 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 5: The good news is God doesn't run out of favor. 134 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 5: He doesn't have a limited supply. If you will empty 135 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 5: out the jealousy, then when it's your time to be promoted, 136 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 5: God will open doors that no man can shut. If 137 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 5: somebody got what you wanted, that simply means it wasn't 138 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 5: supposed to be yours. If they got the promotion, be 139 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 5: happy for them. God has something better for you. If 140 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 5: they got the man you wanted to date, let's make 141 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 5: it real. If they got the girl you were interested in, 142 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 5: don't be upset. God knows what he's doing. If it 143 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 5: worked out your way, it would be second best. Bottom line, 144 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 5: what has your name on it is not going to 145 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 5: go to anyone else. Don't go around bitter with jealousy 146 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 5: and self pity. That will poison your life. Empty it out. 147 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 5: God is in control. He's directing your steps and at 148 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 5: the right time. What has your name on it will 149 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 5: show up. God promises, if we will make room, he 150 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 5: will not only fill us with good things, but he 151 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 5: will keep us young and strong. And the reason some 152 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 5: people are not young and strong, and I don't mean 153 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 5: just young physically, but young in their spirit, vibrant, passionate 154 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 5: about life is because they're filled with the negative. Worry 155 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 5: will make you weak. Living stressed out will make you old, 156 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 5: give you wrinkles, take your passion. Being bitter, angry, resentful 157 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 5: will shorten your life. Proverb says, a relaxed attitude Lengthdin's life. 158 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 5: You can be eighty years old and young at heart. 159 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 5: Your spirit never ages. I met a woman in the 160 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 5: lobby a while back. It was her one hundredth birthday. 161 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 5: She was standing there, dressed impeccably beautiful, hardly had any wrinkles, 162 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 5: full of joy, her mind was as sharp as can be. 163 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 5: I ask her what her secret was so I could 164 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 5: tell Victoria. She said, I don't worry. I let things 165 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 5: go and I laugh a lot. She's lived by this principle. 166 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 5: You know, in one hundred years she's had trouble. People 167 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 5: have hurt her, She's made mistakes, life has happened, offensives 168 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 5: have come. But she hasn't held on to them. He's 169 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 5: kept emptying them out, and God promised He's filled her 170 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 5: life with good things, kept her young and strong. I 171 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 5: don't want to get old, grouchy, grumpy, fall apart. I 172 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 5: want to stay young, strong, good looking, full of faith 173 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 5: and joy and energy. The way this happens is give 174 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 5: no place to the negative. Get in a habit of 175 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 5: emptying out the offenses. Empty out the worry you make 176 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 5: a mistake. Empty out the guilt you didn't do your best. 177 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 5: Empty out the regret, do better next time. Nobody gave 178 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 5: you credit. Empty out the self pity you had a 179 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 5: bad break, you don't understand it. Empty out the questions. 180 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 5: If you'll get good at emptying out the negative, you'll 181 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 5: be like this lady, strong, young, vibrant, full of faith, 182 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 5: and full of joy. Jesus said, blessed are the pure 183 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 5: in heart. They will see God. That word pure in 184 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,359 Speaker 5: the original language is where we get our word cathartic. 185 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 5: It means cleansing, releasing. You have surgery, sometimes the doctor 186 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 5: will put in a catheter, same root word. It's a 187 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 5: tube that drains out the impurities of the body. You 188 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 5: can't get up to use the facility. That catheter automatically 189 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 5: takes what's not beneficial, the toxins, the infections, the waste, 190 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 5: and flushes them out of the body. The doctor knows 191 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 5: there will be contaminants. He's not alarmed that the body 192 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 5: has waste and infection. He's only alarmed when it's not 193 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 5: being released, when we're holding on to things that should 194 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 5: be flushed out. When God says blessed are the pure 195 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,719 Speaker 5: in heart, he's saying you're going to be blessed when 196 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 5: you learn how to release the impurities of life. When 197 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 5: you get in a habit like this catheter of emptying 198 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 5: out things that will infect you. You know what bitterness 199 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 5: is to our spear, It's infection. Guilt is infection, worry, doubt, self, pity. 200 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 5: These things are not unusual. Impurities come. You have to 201 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 5: push them out. It's when we hold onto them that 202 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 5: it contaminates our spirit and causes us problems. You weren't 203 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 5: created to carry around guilt, regret, bitterness, anger that poisons 204 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 5: your life. Well, Joel, I'm bitter because I had a 205 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 5: bad break. I'm sour because somebody walked out on me. 206 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 5: I say this respectfully. That's simply an impurity. Why don't 207 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 5: you release it so it doesn't infect the rest of 208 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 5: your life. Don't let a disappointment, a divorce, a layoff, 209 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 5: a loss poison your future. Well, Joel, I'm worried about 210 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 5: my health, worried about my finances, worried about my children. 211 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 5: Worry is a part of life. Those thoughts come to 212 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 5: us all The key is to not hold onto them. 213 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 5: Recognize they're not beneficial. They're not moving you forward. That's 214 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 5: an impurity that wasn't meant to stay. You have to 215 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 5: release it. God, I don't see a way, but I 216 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 5: know you're still on the throne. I know you're bigger 217 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 5: than this problem. I know you're supplying all of my needs. 218 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 5: You just released the toxin. Are you holding on to infection? 219 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 5: To impurities? Angry? Jealous, worried, discouraged. Maybe you had a disappointment, 220 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 5: something didn't work out. Imagine there's an angel that has 221 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 5: a delivery with your name on it. It says beauty 222 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 5: for ashes, new beginning, new opportunities, new friendships. He's in 223 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 5: route with one of those good things. The problem is, 224 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 5: if you're holding onto the old, there's no place for 225 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 5: him to deliver it. I wonder how many things are 226 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 5: in route right now. The Angel is standing by with 227 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 5: our joy, our peace, our confidence, our creativity, our spouse. 228 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 5: But because there's no room, because we're not releasing the toxins, 229 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 5: the anger, the bitterness, the jealousy, the worry, then he 230 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 5: can't deliver those good things. Instead of living blessed, excited 231 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 5: about our future, we become infected. The good news is 232 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 5: you can get rid of that infection. It is not permanent. 233 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 5: If you'll start releasing the regret, the worry, the bitterness, 234 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 5: the anger, then it's just a matter of time before 235 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 5: that angel shows up with your delivery. When you make room, 236 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 5: God promises he will fill your life with good things. 237 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 5: This is what David did. He was an expert at 238 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 5: emptying out the negative. His family looked down on him, 239 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 5: treated him like he was second class. He could have 240 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 5: let that infection take root, lived insecure. Instead, he let 241 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 5: it go in one ear and out the other. He 242 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 5: knew if he held on to it, it would keep 243 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 5: him from his destiny. David went to the palace served 244 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 5: faithfully King Saul. He would play the harp when Saul 245 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 5: was sick to make him feel better. In return, Saul 246 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 5: tried to kill him. Saul was jealous of David and 247 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 5: chased him through the desert, made him his life miserable. 248 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 5: David could have become bitter, thought, what's the use everybody's 249 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 5: against me? Life is not fair. Instead, he kept his 250 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 5: heart pure and emptied out the self pity. Like David, 251 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 5: we all have impurities, infections that come, people come against us. 252 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 5: Our plans don't always work out. It's easy to think, 253 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 5: why is this happening? It's just life. The scripture says 254 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 5: offenses will come. They're not a problem unless you don't 255 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 5: know what to do with them. Too many people make 256 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 5: the mistake of hold. 257 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 6: On to them. 258 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 5: They get bitter, live guilty with him. A chip on 259 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 5: their shoulder that's going to poison your future. You have 260 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 5: to release the toxins of life. You may not be 261 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 5: able to keep them from coming, but you can keep 262 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 5: them from staying. David had a pure heart. That means 263 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 5: he kept the infections out. It doesn't mean that he 264 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 5: was perfect. David made mistakes. One time he committed adultern, 265 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 5: had the lady's husband killed. For one year, he tried 266 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 5: to cover it up, swept it under a rug. He 267 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 5: was so overwhelmed with guilt, condemnation, that he became sick 268 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 5: and weak, that poison started to infect his life. He 269 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 5: finally admitted his mistake, he repented, asked God to forgive him, 270 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 5: and things begin to turn around. Once he got the 271 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 5: infection out, then his health was restored. When you make 272 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 5: a mistake, and we all do, don't run away from God. 273 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 5: Don't try to hide it. Go to God. Repent. That 274 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 5: means don't keep doing the same thing, and then ask 275 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 5: for forgiveness. And here's the key. You have to receive 276 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 5: God's mercy. The enemy is called the accuser of the brethren. 277 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 5: He'll remind you of every mistake you've made for the 278 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 5: last thirty years. And it's easy to live life in regrets, 279 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 5: thinking about what you should have done differently. And I 280 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 5: should have raised my children better, should have been more 281 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 5: faithful in my marriage, I should have finished college. Don't 282 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 5: go through life looking in the rear view mirror, down 283 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 5: on your cell, living in regrets. You can't do anything 284 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 5: about the past, but you can do something about right now. 285 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 5: Being against yourself doesn't help you do better. It pushes 286 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 5: you down. The moment you ask God to forgive you, 287 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 5: he forgave you. Why don't you forgive yourself. Why don't 288 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 5: you empty out the guilt? Why don't you turn off 289 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 5: the accusing voices? God doesn't remember mistakes anymore. If someone 290 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 5: is bringing up the negative things of your past, it's 291 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 5: not God. That's the accuser trying to deceive you into 292 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 5: living condemned. How much space are you given to guilt, 293 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 5: to shame, to regret, to being against yourself, whatever it is, 294 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 5: it's too much. You need that space for the good 295 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 5: things God has to move you toward your destiny. If 296 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,959 Speaker 5: you're giving space to guilt, you will not have the 297 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 5: confidence you need to move forward. That will cause you 298 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 5: to fail again. It's a negative cycle. The only way 299 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 5: you can break it is to rise up and say 300 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 5: that's it. I am done living in the past, focused 301 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 5: on my mistakes, reliving my failures, beating myself up. This 302 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 5: is a new day. I'm emptying out all that infection. 303 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 5: I'm gonna receive God's mercy. You have to do this 304 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 5: by faith, because every voice will tell you you're a 305 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 5: hit for cript. God's not going to forgive you. Look, 306 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 5: what you've done doesn't have anything to do with what 307 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 5: you have or haven't done. It has to do with 308 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 5: what Jesus has already done. But Joel, I made a 309 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 5: lot of mistakes. I don't deserve to be blessed. None 310 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 5: of us deserve it. This is what mercy is all about. 311 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 5: That's why it's called the good News. Your sins have 312 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 5: already been forgiven. You don't have to pay God back 313 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 5: for your mistakes. The price has already been paid. When 314 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 5: you fall down, don't stay down, get back up again. 315 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 5: When you accuse or whispers, look at you. You blew 316 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 5: it again. You'll never get it right. Just answer back. Yes, 317 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 5: I know I'm not perfect, but I am forgiven. I 318 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 5: may not be where I should be, but I'm making progress. 319 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 5: I'm moving forward. I'm not where I used to be. 320 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 5: Don't let guilt poison your future. Empty it out. Sometimes 321 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 5: it's hard to empty out the negative when a person 322 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 5: does us wrong. Human nature wants to hold on to 323 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 5: the hurt, to come bitter, carry around a grudge who 324 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 5: we think. We're not going to forgive them. They don't 325 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 5: deserve it. You're not forgiving for their sake, You're forgiving 326 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 5: for your sake. As long as you hold on to 327 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 5: the hurt, the anger, the bitterness, it's not affecting them, 328 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 5: it's infecting you. Unforgiveness is like a poisonous toxin. May 329 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 5: feel good to hold on to it, but it will 330 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 5: contaminate your life. Now. A lot of times, the reason 331 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 5: we don't forgive is because what the other person does 332 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 5: was wrong. They were clearly at fault. But when you forgive, 333 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 5: you're not excusing their behavior. You're not lessening the offense. 334 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 5: You're simply getting the poison out of you. You have 335 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 5: to forgive so you can be free. Quit looking at 336 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 5: it like you're doing them a favor, You're doing yourself 337 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 5: a favor. See, it takes a lot of emotional energy 338 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 5: to hold a grudge, to live with unforgiveness. You wake up, 339 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 5: it's always on your mind thinking about how they did 340 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 5: you wrong. You may not realize you are spending emotional 341 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 5: energy that you need for your dreams, for your goals, 342 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 5: for your children. You won't become all you were created 343 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 5: to be if you are wasting emotional energy on things 344 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 5: that don't matter. That unforgiveness is an impurity. Yes, what 345 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,479 Speaker 5: they did was wrong, but you have to let it pass. 346 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,239 Speaker 5: You have to release it. When you do, you'll not 347 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 5: only feel a new freedom, not only have more energy. 348 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 5: But God will be your vindicator. He will make your 349 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 5: wrongs right. You don't have to pay people back. You're 350 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 5: not the judge. God is. Leave it up to him 351 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 5: and he'll vindicate you better than you could vindicate yourself. 352 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 5: This is what a lady did named Mary Johnson. She 353 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 5: was the single mother of one son. When he was 354 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 5: twenty years old, he was out late one night at 355 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 5: a part. This young man came up that he had 356 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 5: never met. His name was Oshe. He was sixteen years 357 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 5: old and had been drinking. There was an altercation. In 358 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 5: the heat of the moment, oh she pulled out a 359 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 5: gun and shot Mary's only son. He was instantly killed. 360 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 5: Mary was so filled with anger and hatred. She told 361 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 5: the judge that sixteen year old boy was an animal 362 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 5: and he needed to be caged. When he was only 363 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 5: charged with second degree murder, Mary was even more angry. 364 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 5: She became a recluse, stayed in her house, wouldn't look 365 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 5: at her son's picture. Ten years passed, she knew it 366 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 5: was time to forgive. She could hear the still small 367 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 5: voice telling her to let it go. She contacted the 368 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 5: prison to see if she could visit Oshe. They said yes, 369 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 5: but oh, she said no, he wouldn't do it. She 370 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 5: kept asking and asking. Finally he agreed. She showed up 371 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 5: at the prison. When she saw Osh, he came around 372 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 5: and gave her a big hug and held on to her. 373 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 5: They wept and wept. Mary said, as I was embracing Oshe, 374 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 5: I could feel hatred and bitterness rising up out of 375 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 5: me and leaving my body. It was so strong that 376 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 5: she fell over. Oh, she had to hold her up. 377 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 5: That day, Mary not only emptied out the unforgiveness, but 378 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 5: she found a new son. Seven years later. Oh, she 379 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 5: was released on parole. Didn't have any place to live. 380 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 5: Mary said, you can live next door to me. She 381 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 5: calls him her spiritual son. Mary started an organization called 382 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 5: from Death to Life to help mothers who have lost 383 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 5: children to violence. Now, she and Oshe go out and 384 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:57,719 Speaker 5: speak at conferences and schools about unforgiveness and overcoming loss. 385 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 5: Mary said what really helped her decide to forgive was 386 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 5: a poem she heard about two mothers in heaven that 387 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 5: had just become friends. One mother asked the other, who 388 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 5: is your son? She said, my son is Jesus I'm Mary. 389 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 5: Mary asked, who is your son, she said, my son 390 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 5: is Judas. When Mary Johnson heard how in this poem, Mary, 391 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 5: the mother of Christ had befriended the mother of Judas, 392 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 5: she knew she had to reach out to that other family. 393 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 5: Now she helps other mothers do the same thing. Out 394 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 5: of your pain can come your purpose. I saw a 395 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 5: lady on television recently. Several years earlier, her son had 396 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 5: been killed in an accident. They asked her how she 397 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 5: was doing it. She made the statement, you never really 398 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 5: get over it, but you can get past it. She 399 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 5: was saying, yes, it's difficult, Yes there was a season 400 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 5: of mourning, but you don't have to stay in You 401 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 5: don't have to live bitter. You don't have to get 402 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 5: stuck in grief, in depression. You can move forward. When 403 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 5: you go through a loss, things happen you don't understand. 404 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 5: It's easy to think I just need to get over this, 405 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 5: but sometimes that's too strong. It can put more pressure 406 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 5: on us. We think, why do I feel this way? 407 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 5: I must be doing something wrong. Take the pressure off. 408 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 5: You don't have to get over it, just get past it. 409 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 5: Just keep moving forward, taking it one day at a time. 410 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 5: God said he will never give you something that you 411 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 5: cannot handle. You may not understand why it happened, But 412 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 5: the scripture says God will give us a peace that 413 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 5: passes understanding. You're not going to figure everything out. If 414 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 5: you'll let go of the questions of life, you will 415 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 5: have a peace that goes beyond what you can understand. 416 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 5: Toward the end of Jesus' life, he'd been betrayed by 417 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 5: a disciple, mocked by the soldiers, falsely accused. Now he 418 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 5: was hanging on the cross, wearing a crown of thorns, 419 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 5: about to breathe his last breath. He did something significant. 420 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 5: He could have just died and went on to Heaven. 421 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,360 Speaker 5: That was it, But he said, Father, before I go, 422 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 5: I need to take care of one last thing. Forgive them, 423 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 5: for they know not what they do. They didn't ask 424 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 5: for forgiveness, they didn't deserve it. Jesus was saying, in effect, 425 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 5: I'm not going to leave this earth with anything negative 426 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 5: in me. He was showing us by example how we 427 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 5: should release the toxins, release the impurities. I read where 428 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 5: Leonardo da Vinci was painting a portrait of Christ. He 429 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 5: let some small children in the room to watch him paint. 430 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 5: One of them accidentally knocked over the easel. He became 431 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 5: very upset and ushered them out of the room. He 432 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 5: sat back down to finish, but he said he could 433 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 5: not paint the face of Christ with anger in his heart. 434 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 5: That's what happens when we hold onto the negative. It 435 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 5: stifles our creativity. We don't do our best work. It's 436 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 5: because there's infection that's slowing us down. Are you allowing 437 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 5: negative things in your container? To reach the fullness of 438 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 5: your destiny? You need to operate at your maximum potential. 439 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 5: If you have a little bitterness, a little guilt, a 440 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 5: little jealousy, a little worry. If you add up all 441 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 5: the space the little is taking, you're only operating at 442 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 5: a fraction of what you could. I'm asking you to 443 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 5: empty all that out. God is ready to fill your 444 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 5: life with good things. He wants to keep you young 445 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 5: and strong. Do your part and make room for him. 446 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 5: Every morning. Empty out the guilt, empty out the worry, 447 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 5: empty out the discouragement. And when the impurities come, When 448 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 5: the infection comes, don't let it stay. Let it pass 449 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 5: on through. Keep your heart pure. If you do this, 450 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 5: I believe and declare you're going to step up to 451 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 5: a new level with more joy, more peace, more favor, healing, holness, 452 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 5: the fullness of your destiny. In Jesus's name, I'd like 453 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 5: to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord 454 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 5: of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, 455 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 5: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I 456 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 5: make you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that 457 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 5: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get in 458 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 5: a good Bible based church, and keep God in the 459 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 5: first place. 460 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 7: Thank you for listening to the Jolus Deine podcast.
