1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

Speaker 1: and I hope you'll stay connected with.

8
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: Us during the week to our daily podcast, our YouTube channel,

9
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: and social media, and you can come visit us here

10
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: in person.

11
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: We'd love to have you be a part of one

12
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: of our services.

13
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: I'd like to start with something funny, and I heard

14
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: about this elderly gentleman.

15
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: He'd had a hearing problem his whole life.

16
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 2: He went to the doctor and was fitted with this

17
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: new state of the art hearing aid where he could

18
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: hear one hundred percent. A few months later he went

19
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 2: back for a checkup.

20
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: The doctor said, Wow.

21
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: Your hearing is perfect. I bet your family is so

22
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: excited that you can hear again. He said, no, I

23
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: haven't told my family. I just sit around and listen

24
00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: to the different conversations, and I've changed my will three times, saying,

25
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: like you mean it, this is my Bible. I am

26
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 2: what it says I am. I have what it says

27
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: I have. I can do what it says I can do.

28
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: Today I will be taught the word of God. I

29
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 2: boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

30
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

31
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: bless you.

32
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: I want to talk to you today about a healthy soul.

33
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 2: We spend a lot of time and energy taking care

34
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: of our physical body. We try to eat right, exercise,

35
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: get enough sleep, and that's all important. We want to

36
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: feel good, but we don't spend enough time taking care

37
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: of our soul. We don't realize how much our emotions,

38
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: our attitudes, our thoughts are affecting us physically. The scripture says,

39
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: I wish above all things that you succeed and be

40
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: in good health even as your soul prospers. This links

41
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: being healthy physically, having energy vitality to how.

42
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: Healthy your soul is.

43
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: If your soul is unhealthy, it's going to spill over

44
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: to the physical.

45
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: If you're living stressed.

46
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: Worried, bitter, guilty, angry, those negative emotions are not just

47
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: affecting your relationships, your creativity, how productive you are, but

48
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: they're weakening your immune system. Your cells are not fighting

49
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: off sickness like they should. Ninety percent of all doctor's

50
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: visits to a primary care physician or stress related.

51
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: You can't sleep at night, your food.

52
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: Won't digest, you have ulcers. Much of that goes back to.

53
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: Your soul not being healthy.

54
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 2: You're worried night and day about that child, stressed over

55
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 2: your finances, holding.

56
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: A grudge over that person that did you wrong.

57
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: You don't realize you're making yourself sick. All that negative

58
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: energy is poisoning your soul. Because your soul is unhealthy,

59
00:02:59,200 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: it starts.

60
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 1: To over to the physical.

61
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 2: You wake up in the morning, you wonder why you're

62
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: still tired, why you don't have any energy. It's because

63
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: your mind worked all night. Your body laid there, but

64
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 2: your mind wrestled, wondered.

65
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: Reason, what if? How could I What may happen?

66
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 2: You're trying to control things that you can't control, trying

67
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: to fix people that you can't fix, worried about a

68
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: problem that may not even happen, or even bitter over

69
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: something that took place twenty years ago. You can't take

70
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: in all those toxins and not be poisoned. You can't

71
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: let anger unforgiveness, guilt, worry dominate your life. If you'll

72
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: get your soul healthy, you'll get your energy back. If

73
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: you'll quit letting the negative emotions rule, then many of

74
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: these physical elements will go.

75
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: It's all interconnected.

76
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: In my late twenties, I developed this redness between my

77
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: eyes and all around the top of my face and

78
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: made my skin flake and.

79
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: It's very itchy. It looked really bad.

80
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: I tried creams, motions, different face soaps. Nothing improved. I

81
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: went to a couple of dermatologists. They gave me prescriptions

82
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: that would help control it. That lessened it, but it

83
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: never went away. A couple of years later, I went

84
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: to a different doctor. He said, Joel, I know exactly

85
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: what's causing it. It's stress. You're living too uptight, you

86
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: have too much pressure. I can give you more medicine,

87
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: but until you change, until you get more.

88
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: Balanced, it's not going to go away.

89
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: I was you hung, had all this energy. I thought,

90
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: I'm not under stress. I'm fine. Sometimes we can't see

91
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: what's poisoning us. We have a blind spot. We can

92
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 2: look in the mirror and see things. I have this redness,

93
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 2: I have this blimish. We can see the physical, but

94
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: we can't see what's happening on the inside.

95
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: Your inner life is more important than your outer life.

96
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 2: What's going on in your emotions, how you feel about yourself,

97
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: what you're allowing to play in your mind, that's affecting

98
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 2: what's happening on the outside.

99
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: I was treating the symptom, but not the cause.

100
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: I thought, just fix the outside, just clear this redness up,

101
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: but it kept coming back.

102
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: One day I got honest with myself. I looked at

103
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: all that I was doing. I was married to Victoria.

104
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: That was incredibly relaxing. And I'm not even gonna joke

105
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: about that.

106
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 2: One We had a two year old son, another baby coming.

107
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: We had moved out of our townhouse and were remodeling

108
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 2: this older home. I had traveled several weeks to India

109
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: with my father. Was working long hours at the church trying.

110
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: To get the TV ministry going.

111
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: I didn't realize it, but I was living under all

112
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: this pressure, this stress. Much of it I was putting

113
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: on myself. I like to go fast, work hard, accomplish goals.

114
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: Here's the key.

115
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 2: You are responsible for your own emotional well being.

116
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: It's not up to anyone else.

117
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: Your spouse, can't keep your soul well. Your doctor, your friends,

118
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 2: your parents. Nobody has control over your soul except you.

119
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,559
Speaker 1: In one sense, not even God.

120
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 2: He's not going to make you forgive, make you not worry,

121
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: force you to not live angry, offended, guilty.

122
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: These are choices that we have to make.

123
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 2: My question today is is your soul healthy?

124
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: We can see your looks.

125
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 2: Your talent, your personality, but what's going on inside?

126
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: Are you at peace? Are you turning things over to God?

127
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: Do you know that you're valuable?

128
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: Is your heart free from bitterness, offense? Or is their worry, guilt, insecurity,

129
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: self pity.

130
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: Look what I've been through, Joe, I'm angry.

131
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: Yes, I have this chip on my shoulder because these

132
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,119
Speaker 2: people did me wrong. That's poisoning your soul.

133
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: Like with me, you may not be able to see it.

134
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: And sometimes we've gotten used to these negative emotions.

135
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: We've adapted.

136
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: We wonder why we don't have energy, why we can't sleep,

137
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: why we're not creative.

138
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: You have to get honest with yourself.

139
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: You have to look inside and ask why am I

140
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: so jealous? Why can't I celebrate my friend's success? Why

141
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: am I so easily offended? Why do I argue so much?

142
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: Or why don't I feel good about myself? Lady told

143
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: me how every time she and her husband had the

144
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: smallest disagreement, she would blow up, get loud and come unglued,

145
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 2: and be this huge ordeal. The men couldn't understand why

146
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: she was so on edge and so easily angered. Over time,

147
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: it had become too much. Their relationship was falling apart.

148
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: As a teenager, she had been in a relationship with

149
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: a young man that really hurt her. He suddenly broke

150
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: up and said some things that were very derogatory. She

151
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: felt rejected, like she wasn't good enough, and instead of

152
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 2: letting it go, knowing that God is our vindicator and

153
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: that what people say don't determine who we are, she

154
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: held on to that offense. It was poisoning her spirit,

155
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 2: making her insecure and easily offended.

156
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: When you don't let go of things, they never healed.

157
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: Anytime her husband didn't agree with her, it was like

158
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: touching a bruise. She would push back and lash out.

159
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: One day, she did what we all have to do.

160
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: She got honest with herself. She looked inside, said why

161
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 2: am I like this? Why do I get upset so easily.

162
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: She realized it was from the pains of the past,

163
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: from things that weren't fair that she hadn't dealt with.

164
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,479
Speaker 2: She made the decision to get the unforgiveness out, the bitterness,

165
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 2: the resentment, the insecurity.

166
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: That was the turning point.

167
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: As she got her soul healthy, her relationships became healthy.

168
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: Today she and her husband are happy and enjoying life.

169
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: What am I saying? Pay attention to your inner life.

170
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: It's easy to adapt to things that are poisoning us,

171
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 2: and we don't realize it. We end up going through

172
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 2: life just treating the symptoms. If we would get to

173
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 2: the root cause and get our soul healthy, then God

174
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 2: said we will have good health and good success. Now

175
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: a question we need to ask ourselves is am I

176
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 2: making myself sick? Am I sabotaging my relationships? Am I

177
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 2: limiting my potential? Holding myself down because my soul is unhealthy?

178
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,479
Speaker 2: Hebrews says, make sure that no root of bitterness springs

179
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: forth and defiles you.

180
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: It describes bitterness as a root.

181
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: A root is underground, you can't see it, but if

182
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: you let it grow, it's going to spring forth.

183
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: A bitter root will produce bitter fruit.

184
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 2: What's on the inside is going to show up on

185
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: the outside.

186
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: We try to fix the fruit.

187
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: We deal with the symptom, but the fruit is not

188
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 2: the real problem.

189
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: We need to go to the source and get rid

190
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: of the root.

191
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: Proverb says, guard your heart, for out of it flow

192
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 2: the issues of life. One of our main responsibilities is

193
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 2: to keep the toxins out, keep those roots from springing up.

194
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: Offenses are going to come. Cranky co workers.

195
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: Will come, disappointments, hurts, jealousy, anger. You can't stop it

196
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 2: from coming. The question is are you going to let

197
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 2: it take root? Get down in your spirit, contaminate your joy,

198
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 2: take your energy, open you up to sickness, trouble, defeat, No,

199
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: keep your soul healthy.

200
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: You have to be an active gardener.

201
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: Pull up those roots, pull up that unforgiveness, pull up

202
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: that insecurity, pull up that guilt and condemnation. Don't let

203
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 2: your soul become poisoned. And if your soul is bitter,

204
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 2: your life will be bitter. Why are you letting that

205
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 2: worry take root, losing sleep, living, stressed out. You've seen

206
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 2: God take care of you in the past. You've seen

207
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 2: him make ways where you didn't see a way you've

208
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: seen him provide in a pandemic, give you peace in

209
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: a storm, favor in the fire. He did it back then,

210
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: He's going to do it again. He didn't bring you

211
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 2: this far to leave you where you are. Or why

212
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: are you holding onto that guilt, beating yourself up over

213
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: past mistakes? God has forgiven you. Why don't you forgive yourself?

214
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: God doesn't remember it. Why don't you quit remembering it?

215
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: God has moved on. Why don't you move on? Why

216
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: are you jealous over that coworker that got the promotion,

217
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 2: that friend that you think is more talented, more beautiful,

218
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: more successful. Now you're finding fault, critical, feeling bad about

219
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: who you are. God blessing them doesn't mean he's not

220
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: going to bless you. God didn't run out of favor,

221
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: He didn't forget about you. He has things in your

222
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 2: future better than you've imagined.

223
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: But don't let that jealous root keep you poison.

224
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 2: Pull it up, keep your heart pure, Celebrate their success.

225
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 2: When your soul is healthy, God can trust you with more.

226
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: Or why are you still upset over something that happened

227
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: twenty years ago? Why are you still holding a grudge

228
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: over who hurt you? Who walked away. What you didn't

229
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 2: get that didn't stop God's plan. What they did is

230
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: not going to keep you from your purpose. God knew

231
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: it was going to happen, and he already had a

232
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: plan to bring you out better, to give you beauty

233
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: for the asshes, joy for the morning.

234
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: Pull up that root.

235
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 2: Of disappointment, resentment, self pity that's poisoning your future. Don't

236
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 2: just deal with the symptom, get to the root. Learn

237
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: to live from a place of faith.

238
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: God.

239
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 2: I trust you. I know you're in control. You're fighting

240
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 2: my battles. You've ordered my steps. You have a good

241
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 2: plan for my life. Lord, I thank you that you're

242
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,359
Speaker 2: my provider, my protector, my waymaker, my deliver my vindicator.

243
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: God, my life is in your hands.

244
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 2: That's how you keep your soul healthy on a regular basis.

245
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: You have to pull up the roots, get rid of

246
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 2: the toxins, guard your heart. There was this man that

247
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: owned all these horses, and he was out riding one

248
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: day and this large tree branch had fallen across the trail.

249
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: As his horse went to jump over it, it didn't

250
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 2: quite clear and the horse scraped its back leg very badly.

251
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: Men took them to the barn, cleaned up.

252
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 2: The womb, put some antiseptic on it, wrapped it up.

253
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: A couple of weeks went by and he noticed the

254
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 2: horse was still bothered by it. He had the vet

255
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: nearing come out take a look at it. He put

256
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: the horse on antibiotics. He began to improve, but a

257
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: few months later the infection came back.

258
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: The horse could barely walk.

259
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 2: They started another round of antibiotics, and like the first time,

260
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 2: the leg got better.

261
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: The wound began to heal.

262
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: But three months later the wound was reinfected. This happened

263
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: again and again. The owner finally decided to take the

264
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: horse to the clinic find out what was going on.

265
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: They put the horse under anesthesia, opened up the wound.

266
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: They found this huge piece of wood, about the size

267
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: of a golf ball, buried way up in the horse's leg.

268
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: Every time he went off the medicine, the infection would

269
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 2: keep coming back. They were treating the symptoms, but until

270
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: they went deeper, until they got to the root of

271
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 2: the problem, it wasn't going to go away. And we

272
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: treat symptoms because we can see the symptoms.

273
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: It's obvious. Have red between my eyes. I need some medicine.

274
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: We have to go deeper. We have to deal with

275
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: the root.

276
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: I can't get rid of this headache because I'm so worried,

277
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: I'm so stressed.

278
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm making myself sick.

279
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: I can't get along in this relationship because I'm insecure.

280
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: I don't feel valuable, or I'm not reaching my potential

281
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: because I'm mad at myself. I'm living in regrets thinking

282
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 2: about where I should be.

283
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: Get that infection out.

284
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: As long as the root is there, the fruit is

285
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: going to be bitter. And the good news is you

286
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: control what's in your soul. You can't control what happened

287
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 2: to you, what someone did, but you can control how

288
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 2: you respond, what you choose to dwell on.

289
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: Is there some infection, some toxins that are keeping.

290
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: You from getting well, Some bitterness, worry, guilt that's keeping

291
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: you stuck where you can't flourish. Sometimes we can't get

292
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: along in a relationship because we have a root of pride.

293
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: We think we're right all the time.

294
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: We won't listen to others' opinion, we never apologize.

295
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: We're hard to get along with. Contentious.

296
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: That's one of those toxins that we can always see.

297
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: You have to look deeper. It's under the surface.

298
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: When your soul is healthy, you're loving and kind, You

299
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: see the best in others.

300
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: You're the peacemakers.

301
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 2: You let them be right, David said in Some One nineteen, God,

302
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: keep me from lying to myself. That's one of the

303
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: most powerful prayers we could ever pray. That takes as

304
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: much faith as God give me the compact sinner. God,

305
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: help me to be honest with myself. Help me to

306
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: look in the mirror and see where my soul is

307
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: not healthy, where I need to change, where I need

308
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: to forgive, be more kind and understanding, where I need

309
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 2: to quit letting people take my joy, where I need

310
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: to get over what happened three years ago, or where

311
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 2: I need to quit beating myself up, to see myself

312
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: as valuable, attractive, a masterpiece.

313
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: My prayer is, God, don't let us go through life

314
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: lying to ourselves.

315
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: It's one thing to be dishonest with others, not good,

316
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: but don't lie to yourself. Don't sweep things under the rug,

317
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 2: make excuses for why you're angry, bitter, jealous, hard to

318
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 2: get along with. There's no fault in being there, but

319
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: there is a fault in staying there. It may be

320
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: your explanation, but don't let it be your excuse. Joel,

321
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: I have this ongoing injury because I scraped my leg.

322
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 2: Or get the wood out and move forward with your life.

323
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: Why I'm bitter because my loved one died. No, pull

324
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 2: up that root and go out and do great things.

325
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: Make them proud by leaving your mark. I'm stressed because

326
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: my finances.

327
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 2: My children, this pressure at work. You can't control all that.

328
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 2: Don't let circumstances be an excuse to live worried on edge,

329
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 2: short with your children, Get back in balance, get your

330
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 2: soul healthy if you'll look inside and deal with things

331
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: that are stealing your peas taking your joy, causing you

332
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 2: to compro As your soul gets healthier, physical healing will come,

333
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 2: Your gifts will come out in greater ways. Your relationships

334
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 2: will be better, New doors will open. It's interesting that

335
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: David prayed that prayer about not lying to himself. Maybe

336
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 2: at stemmed from the time he had an affair with Bathsheba.

337
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: His men were out fighting a battle, he stayed back

338
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: in the palace.

339
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 2: One night, he went on top of the roof to

340
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: get some fresh air, and he saw this beautiful girl

341
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: taking a bath instead of walking away.

342
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: Not going there, he went and got the binoculars.

343
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 2: She was a married woman, but David sent for She

344
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 2: ended up getting pregnant.

345
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: David tried to cover it up.

346
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 2: He had her husband come home from the battle, but

347
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: he was so loyal he wouldn't sleep with her. While

348
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 2: his colleagues were out fighting, David told the commanders to

349
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,479
Speaker 2: put him out on the front lines where he wouldn't

350
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: be protected. He was killed in the battle. David took

351
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 2: Bathsheba as his wife. He thought everything was fine. He

352
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 2: covered it up, no big deal. But the problem with

353
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 2: burying negative toxins is they.

354
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: Never stay buried.

355
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,959
Speaker 2: Those toxins will eventually come back up and begin to

356
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: poison your life. For the next year, while David was

357
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 2: lying to himself, pretending that nothing was wrong, his health

358
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: began to deteriorate. He was sick, weakly here. He had

359
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 2: been strong his whole life. He was a warrior, but

360
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 2: now his soul was unhealthy. The guilt, the shame, the

361
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 2: compromise started to affect his physical body. He finally got

362
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 2: honest and admitted his mistake. He said, God create in

363
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 2: me a clean heart. God, forgive me of my wrongs.

364
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 2: He was saying, God, I'm not hiding anymore. I'm gonna

365
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 2: deal with these toxins that are poison in my soul.

366
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: The beauty of our God is He's merciful, He'll forgive you.

367
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: God restored David. He got his health back, his joy back,

368
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: and he went on to fulfill his purpose.

369
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 2: But until you get honest with yourself, deal with what

370
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 2: you know is holding you back, you're going to be limited.

371
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: As your soul gets healthier, your body is going to

372
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 2: get healthier.

373
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: You're going to have more energy, more vitality.

374
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: David is the one that wrote in Psalm twenty three,

375
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: he restores my soul. Your soul may feel broken today, wounded,

376
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: hurt from mistakes you've made or from what someone else did,

377
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: But your soul can be restored when you get honest

378
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: with yourself. You release what you need to release guilt, worry, anger, jealousy.

379
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 2: Then healing will come, joy will come, Peace will come.

380
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: I believe even now God is restoring souls.

381
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 2: Emotional healing has taking place, healing from the hurts, the

382
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 2: pains of the past, what wasn't fair, the loss, the heartache,

383
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 2: healing from self inflicted wounds, mistakes, we've made, regrets. We're

384
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 2: living in healing from tormenting spirits, from mental illness, from anxiety,

385
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: from depression.

386
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: God is doing a new thing.

387
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: Forces that have held you back are being broken off

388
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: of your emotions, your attitudes, your thoughts.

389
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: You are not going to live wounded. He's restoring your soul.

390
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: Your latter days are going to be better than your

391
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 2: former days. You are about to step into a new

392
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 2: level of joy, peace fulfillment, abundance, victory. Don't believe those

393
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 2: lies that it's too late. You've made too many mistakes,

394
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 2: You've been through too much. No, the best part of

395
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: your life is still in front of you. We knew

396
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: a man growing up that loved to play the piano.

397
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 2: He's very talented, but he suffered from rheumatoward arthritis.

398
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: Over the years that kept getting worse and worse.

399
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,239
Speaker 2: Got to the point where his feet were all bent

400
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 2: over like he was making a fist. He couldn't open

401
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: them anymore. All of his joints were swollen. Of course,

402
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: he couldn't play the piano.

403
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: He was so discouraged.

404
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: He used to play for hours, and now that dream

405
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: was gone. He attended Lakewood and one day he heard

406
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: my father speaking about forgiveness and how important it is

407
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 2: that we don't hold on to these hurts, and how

408
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 2: that can poison our life. This man felt convicted. He

409
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: had held something against his parents for years. He felt

410
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 2: like they had done him wrong, and instead of letting

411
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 2: it go and showing mercy, he let that bitterness take root.

412
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 2: He wouldn't speak to them, shut them out of his life.

413
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 2: He thought that was the best way to handle it.

414
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 2: He didn't realize that was poisoning his soul. When your

415
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 2: soul is unhealthy, it can affect you physically. That day,

416
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: he made a decision that he was going to forgive

417
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 2: his parents make things right. Went to their house and

418
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: his mother was weepings father hugged him so happy it

419
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 2: was an answer to their prayer. And this man told

420
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 2: how he felt this heaviness, this weight lift off of him.

421
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: He had gotten used to it.

422
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 2: He forgot what it was like to be freeing, not

423
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 2: have that bitterness in the back of his mind, always

424
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 2: poisoning his joy. It was great that his parents wanted reconciliation.

425
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: They were happy to have their son back, But there

426
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 2: may be times where the people that did you wrong

427
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 2: don't want to reconcile. They don't want to have you

428
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: back in their lives. That's okay. You're not forgiving for

429
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 2: their sake, You're forgiving for your sake. Forgive so you

430
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 2: can keep your own soul healthy. Let it go so

431
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 2: that negative root doesn't spring up and contaminate the rest

432
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 2: of your life. They hurt you once, don't let them

433
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 2: continue to hurt you by holding on to it.

434
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: Let God be your vindicator. He sees what wasn't fair.

435
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 2: He knows who did you wrong, and he knows how

436
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 2: to make it up to you. He knows how to

437
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: bring you out better than you were before. Over the

438
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 2: next few months, much to this man's surprise, his fingers,

439
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 2: little by little started opening up, the swellings started going down.

440
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: He got better and better.

441
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 2: A year later, he could sit down and play the

442
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 2: piano like he had.

443
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: Never missed a beat.

444
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 2: It's amazing what will happen when our soul gets healthy,

445
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 2: When we get free from the bitterness, the guilt, the stress,

446
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:30,479
Speaker 2: the worry.

447
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: That's when healing is released.

448
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 2: That's when you'll see good success, the blessing of God

449
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 2: in new ways. And I realize not all sickness is

450
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 2: from a lack of emotional well being. But anytime you

451
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 2: face sickness, you're going to have to be strong in

452
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 2: your emotions, in what.

453
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: You allow to play in your mind.

454
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 2: When my mother was sick with cancer, she wrote letters

455
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 2: to people that she thought she may have offended, asking

456
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 2: them to forgive her. She was making sure that there

457
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 2: were no toxins in her spirit, that nothing she was

458
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 2: doing was poisoning her emotional well being.

459
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: She knew the emotional will affect the physical.

460
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: She even watched cartoons, funny programs that would make her laugh.

461
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 2: The scripture says, a merry heart is like taking medicine.

462
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 2: Being joyful brings healing, but a broken spirit dries up

463
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 2: the bones.

464
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: If you go around discourage and defeated.

465
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: Man, this medical reports so bad, I don't think I'm

466
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 2: ever going to get well. You're helping that sickness, you're

467
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 2: giving it life. But when you're cheerful, when you know

468
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: God's in control, when you're thanking him, when you could

469
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 2: be complaining, you're laughing when you could be crying, that's.
