  1. Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith.

  2. Message podcast from st. Augustine Florida.

  3. Now enjoy this message. Are y'all full of it?

  4. You bet you are. You're full of it.

  5. Now, most of us when you hear that statement, you think is up

  6. -, but the reality is we're talking about something

  7. positive, being full of joy. Hey man.

  8. My little be full of joy because if you're not full of joy,

  9. you're up full of the other. If you're not full of joy, you

  10. are full of the other. Yes, you are.

  11. So you might as well stay full of joy because when you're not

  12. full of joy, you're becoming full of the other and God don't

  13. want to be around the other. You know, how much God don't

  14. want to be around the other than when he had his Tabernacle built

  15. in the wilderness. He said I don't want none of

  16. that stuff around my temple. You going to go outside the camp

  17. and dig a hole and get that stuff way out there cuz I don't

  18. want to smell it. None are you hearing me?

  19. So if you're not full of joy, you're smelling something

  20. different to the Lord. And you want to know why?

  21. He's not doing something. He's like, we gonna have to get

  22. you cleaned up. I said we had to get you cleaned

  23. up most Believers this just their attitude your attitude,

  24. what? Yeah.

  25. Yeah. We know that phrase your

  26. attitude, what typically we don't default to your attitude

  27. is so great in the blessing. There's the association of your

  28. attitude stinks, which means then you're not full of joy.

  29. You're not full of joy, and we need to be full of joy, a

  30. mentor. No, to First Peter chapter 1.

    1 Peter 1 chapter mention

  31. Today I'm going to conclude our kingdom Joy series.

  32. If you weren't here last week, you can go back online and

  33. listen to it. When I say series, you

  34. understand? If I preach more than one

  35. message, it's a series for me. I typically just do one messages

  36. a lot of times, but sometimes the Lord get me into a

  37. particular subject and we have to dissect it a little bit and

  38. so we're doing that. Around because there's a lot of

  39. depression out there and I'm talking about the church.

  40. The world should be depressed. And the world is depressed, even

  41. when they mask it with laughter, right?

  42. Because I can guarantee you that all across the United States,

  43. for sure, that last night, a group of people who did not know

  44. each other purchase tickets to go into a theater like you did.

  45. All right now and they began to watch what is called a comedy

  46. And that comedy has references to sexual content, perverse,

  47. content, making fun of people using all kind of foul language.

  48. And in those auditoriums much like this, those people who

  49. didn't know each other began to laugh out loud.

  50. And when they left, they told each other how great the movie

  51. was they had Smiles on their face.

  52. Some of them got the greatest ab workout they've had in their

  53. life laughing. Laughing laughing in yet it

  54. brought no joy to their life. It was a mass counterfeit.

  55. But you know, why is it that there are churches all over the

  56. place filled with people that are so serious?

  57. That they cannot have joy. That you know, if anybody starts

  58. laughing or anything starts to move in a way that seems

  59. excited. It's like all of a sudden that's

  60. ungodly yet. God is the author of joy.

  61. In fact, it's only with God Joy exists, Joy cannot exist.

  62. I must say that. Again, Joy is going to be a

  63. little sound bite. Let me just say, let me get,

  64. because I'm gonna make the guys edit this.

  65. There is no such thing as Joy outside.

  66. The Holy Spirit. If you do not have the Holy

  67. Spirit, it is impossible for you to have joy.

  68. So any smile, our laughter is not Joy.

  69. It is a counterfeit. It's impossible to have joy

  70. outside of the Holy Spirit. Impossible Hallelujah let's just

  71. be matter of fact like the word amen that's just be matter of

  72. fact because the Lord is so good at giving us a clear

  73. instructions on how we can live if we just choose to do so, and

  74. joy is not predicated on your feeling. because the spirit the

  75. Holy Spirit, the third person of the godhead doesn't bring joy,

  76. when you feel like it, He typically shows up with you when

  77. you don't our circumstances, are contrary to a joyful life.

  78. Okay, Hallelujah. Now when it feels tight to you,

  79. or you're like, hmm. Let me think I'll just shout.

  80. Amen. Anyway, all right, it's just

  81. going to help you in First Peter chapter 1, verse 3, through 9.

    1 Peter 1:3

  82. It says this blessed, the Lord are blessed, be the God and

  83. father of our Lord. Jesus Christ.

  84. Who, according to his, great Mercy has caused us to be born

  85. again to a Living. Hope through the resurrection of

  86. Jesus Christ from the dead to obtain an inheritance, which is

  87. imperishable, and undefiled, and will not fade away.

  88. Reserved in heaven for you. Who are protected by the power

  89. of God through faith for a Salvation, ready to be revealed

  90. at in the last time in this, you greatly Rejoice, even though now

  91. for a little while, if necessary you have been distressed by

  92. various trials so that the proof of your faith may be more

  93. precious than gold, which is perishable even though, tested

  94. by fire may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at

  95. the revelation of Jesus Christ. And though, you have not seen

  96. him, you love him. And though you do not It seemed

  97. now, you believe in him, you greatly Rejoice with joy

  98. inexpressible, and full of Glory.

  99. Obtaining, as the outcome of your faith, the salvation of

  100. your souls. I love this passage of scripture

  101. because it lets us know that when Jesus who paid the price

  102. for all of our wrongdoing are treason to his kingdom and he

  103. laid down his blood that paid the price of all of our

  104. Disobedience. When we called, on his name to

  105. be saved, the Bible says, we were transferred Out of the

  106. domain of Darkness, the power of the devil, and put into the

  107. kingdom of his beloved Son. See, salvation is not a ticket

  108. to Heaven. Salvation is a Birthright of

  109. sonship and in, and we are not to accept Jesus Christ.

  110. And just hold on to this thought.

  111. When I die, I get to go to heaven.

  112. We are to accept Jesus Christ as Lord.

  113. And say, I'm a Child of God now and he'll pull Heaven down into

  114. Earth for his kid. Are you hearing me?

  115. He'll pull? Oh, Heaven down into Earth for

  116. his child and not only did he redeem me but then he sent me

  117. back in my original position of dominion or rulership.

  118. For Genesis 1:26, says for God. God said, let us make man in our

    Genesis 1:26

  119. image, according to our likeness and let them have dominion or

  120. rule over the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky over all

  121. the cattle over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth

  122. over all the Earth. So God made both male and female

  123. and gave them Dominion when Adam ate.

  124. Fruit and sin entered the world. Right?

  125. As the Bible says transgender through the one man's

  126. transgression sin entered, the world in Romans chapter 5, when

    Romans 5 chapter mention

  127. that took place, Adam gave his dominion over to the devil.

  128. And though we don't typically read the Luke account of the

  129. Temptation Of Christ. Everyone tends to move towards

  130. the Matthew account, but in Luke chapter 4, it tells us that when

    Luke 4 chapter mention

  131. the devil tempted, Jesus, and he brought him to a high Pinnacle

  132. and showed him all the kingdoms of a moment of time.

  133. One translation said, all the domains domains.

  134. These are not religious terms. These are governmental terms of

  135. power. So, the devil did not tempt

  136. Jesus with religion. He tempted Jesus to give him

  137. back. What?

  138. Adam had and lost. Adam lost, rulership.

  139. Because God in heaven, would rule his realm and man would

  140. rule this realm by the leading of his father in Heaven.

  141. That's why he would come and speak with Adam in the cool of

  142. the day, and spend time with him and give him instruction.

  143. And through that, he would do his bidding and we know this is

  144. true because Jesus who's called the last Adam he did what the

  145. first Adam failed to do. And the first Adam was always

  146. supposed to only do the will of the father.

  147. So the last A diminishment is mentioned through all four

  148. gospels that Jesus only did. What the father said.

  149. Jesus didn't do his own. Will he said, I, what I do is

  150. what I've heard. That's all the only way.

  151. I act Jesus even though he had a will he did not allow that

  152. personal will In the Flesh as he emptied himself of his glory and

  153. clothe himself, as a man did not allow that.

  154. To influence his decision-making, but always laid

  155. it down at the thought of Heavens realm.

  156. Jesus is praying in the garden. He said, father, if there's any

  157. other way. Do we think?

  158. Jesus, lied ever is Jesus a liar, then this cannot be alive.

  159. Jesus said, father, there's any other way, for this cup for

  160. this. De for this to happen for let

  161. this cup pass, but not my will. Now, Jesus didn't have the

  162. capacity to have a will independent of the father, then

  163. he would be a liar when he made that statement.

  164. Jesus, even let Peter know after that experience when he got up

  165. and says my accusers are here and all of a sudden they came to

  166. attack him, right? And they're like who's Jesus.

  167. He said I am and the first front of the people fell down, hit the

  168. ground because the power Jesus was operating in that be enough

  169. to say I'm not going to do this thing when someone speaks and

  170. you get knocked to the ground but Peter you know him he pulled

  171. the sword out cut the guy's ear off.

  172. Right. And what did Jesus?

  173. Two picks up the ear at a guy puts it on the side of his head

  174. and said Peter don't you know that I could call a legion of

  175. angels down right now. And this wouldn't even be a

  176. contest. Which means he had a will to do

  177. it, but why wouldn't he? Because I'm only going to do the

  178. will of my father. So we're Adam did not do, the

  179. will of the Father by not eating, the fruit of the tree of

  180. the knowledge of Good and Evil. He ate it.

  181. Jesus said, I won't make the mistake of my brother.

  182. Adam. I'm only going to do what Dad

  183. said and that means even if his death on the cross, I'll pay the

  184. price to 0. The door open that, if anyone

  185. would ever call on my name, I could give them sonship and

  186. their position of dominion again.

  187. Jesus did not come to take you to heaven, Jesus came to

  188. re-establish, your son ship with the father, so that heaven could

  189. follow you wherever you go. All the days of your life,

  190. especially in the dispensation, where in which is in a better

  191. Covenant than the other ones. Because now, we don't have to go

  192. to a place to be with God and intimate with God.

  193. God came to be in US. Wow.

  194. God Lives in You. He lives in you.

  195. This is why. Peter says my gosh, we are born

  196. again to a Living. Hope how in the world, in the

  197. circumstances of life, could we get depressed?

  198. Get down? Stay in that.

  199. I know Trials, come, I know they're distressing.

  200. Peter says, but listen, when you keep your hope in the word of

  201. the king, that's in you and the spirit, that's greater than he

  202. that's in the world. You will have joy inexpressible

  203. and full of Glory, it won't matter.

  204. What's going on, you'll be in a laugh at it.

  205. All, you'll be like your dad in heaven that says, he sits in the

  206. heavens and what, laughs, Now, everyone in you of you and me,

  207. we experience opportunities of not laughing moments.

  208. We do I get it but how far and how close is joy?

  209. How far or how close is Joy? How quick could we access it?

  210. Are you hearing me and I'm telling you if you'll see what I

  211. see today, you won't let another day.

  212. In fact, the Bible even says we saw this last week, I'm just

  213. going to read it. These guys don't have it.

  214. I just pulled it over during worship.

  215. But in Psalms 118 24, we said this, this is the day which the

  216. Lord has made let us and be mad about it.

  217. No, not be mad about it. Not be sad about it, which is

  218. Hey, is it today? Is that today?

  219. Will it be tomorrow when it's today?

  220. Will it be next week when it's today?

  221. Will it be a month from now? When it's today?

  222. This is the dish. What I love about my I am God,

  223. he's like when you get to where I am because I am all the time.

  224. I am then you'll know it's my day and since it's my day you

  225. should just rejoice and be glad just go ahead and rejoice and be

  226. glad because really what you got to worry about.

  227. Nothing you going through. Put me on took me off my throne.

  228. Nothing that you that you're going through.

  229. My blood has an atone for and my word doesn't conquer it.

  230. I mean, really, what's what problem do you have?

  231. What can man do to you? So this is the day, say this is

  232. the day, this is the day. The Lord has made let us.

  233. We'll go ahead and look at your neighbor and say, ha ha ha.

  234. Say he he he say, ho ho ho. Yeah, and that's not Santa Claus

  235. either. Are you hear me?

  236. First Thessalonians 5:16, we said this last week, in case you

    1 Thessalonians 5:16

  237. want to know how often we should Rejoice.

  238. Since this is the day that the Lord has made.

  239. Let us rejoice and be glad with it Paul writing to the church

  240. and that's lanique. He said this, he said Rejoice

  241. always. Well, what if something's going

  242. bad Rejoice always? Well, what if something goes

  243. wrong we Rejoice always. Well, what if I get in a trial

  244. where Joyce hallway? Well what if somebody hits my

  245. car Rejoice always? Well what if somebody cusses me

  246. out? Rejoice always.

  247. Well what if somebody you know tries to attack my family

  248. Rejoice always well what if I lose Job Rejoice.

  249. Always a lot if I lose all my money Rejoice always.

  250. Well what if the doctor tells me I have cancer Rejoice, always

  251. What about rank? Wake up on the wrong side of the

  252. bed, then be smart enough to go back to bed, get on the other

  253. side and rejoice, always. I mean, how simple is it to fix

  254. that one? When you woke up on the wrong

  255. side of the bed, you know what, I'm going to get back in and go

  256. to the other side, but yeah. Do you know how many people will

  257. let that phrase dictate their day?

  258. Dictate their day unnatural getting out of one side of the

  259. bed, has produced my stinking attitude.

  260. Right Rejoice. How often?

  261. How often is that now? Is that now?

  262. Is that now? Is that now?

  263. Is that now, can we take a cry? Break, can we cry for a moment?

  264. Can we have a second of cry? Could we have a second?

  265. Now again that sounds like a foreign concept, right?

  266. Because we all get attacked with an emotion through a

  267. circumstance, to not feel joyful.

  268. But what the Lord is telling us, you don't have to stay there.

  269. Not even for a millisecond. He knows I know it's there but

  270. you don't have to stay there for a millisecond.

  271. And what you and I should do, is not fight Joy.

  272. What we should do is learn how to become faster at getting

  273. enjoyed. How do I know when a Believer is

  274. mature? During its how fast they get up

  275. after their fault. The Bible says a righteous man

  276. may fall seven times but he what gets back up.

  277. I learned because I got understand, we can make mistakes

  278. and for me, some mistakes are not a failure.

  279. Okay? I'mi'm, preach this.

  280. So if this side of this is falling off and in sin, I'm in

  281. sin, right? I could live life here.

  282. And be safe, but the temptation to go here is right there.

  283. Right? And if I go and choose to be

  284. tempted to this thought, but if I live life over here, glory to

  285. God, which means I got these layers of fleeing the appearance

  286. of evil. Then if all of a sudden, I take

  287. this thought, Man, let me get back here, right?

  288. Cause I haven't failed, but I violated one of my own personal

  289. conviction to make sure. I don't even get close to this

  290. side. So, I know a Believer, when they

  291. first come into the kingdom of God, their babes in there,

  292. right, out of sin. So they're having to learn how

  293. to capture their mind, how to learn not to act on Temptation

  294. and so a lot of times they're here, falling in.

  295. Okay, let's get Back Up, call it in, let's get Back Up Fall in

  296. In. Let's get back up.

  297. Good thing I work out. So Right.

  298. But get up. I said, get up but I want to

  299. start seeing this go like this. This this this that way.

  300. When this day happens, we're not there and have all this damage.

  301. We get here then we go here and we go here and then we can run

  302. around and dance and no, man, we're so far away from that.

  303. It's like foreign to us to be this close.

  304. It's what maturity will do mature.

  305. Dirty, does it keep you out? Maturity keeps you further away?

  306. But then there's the response. Because I know whether someone's

  307. growing if they fall. How long do they stay here?

  308. Three days. Five days, shame guilt, right?

  309. All that takes place. Then I finally realize, you know

  310. what, I was always here and Jesus gave his life for me and

  311. sent me here. How much more will he easily put

  312. me right here from this one thing?

  313. Right. But they've still not matured to

  314. get further yet and they fall again.

  315. But this time, it's three days that they get back now, that's

  316. progress, that's progress. Meaning I'm not laying in it as

  317. long anymore. I'm not going to let it beat me

  318. up as long anymore. I'm going to go ahead and get

  319. right, and I love it when they really begin to realize this,

  320. Come on. You hear what I'm saying?

  321. That all of a sudden. You like no.

  322. Wow, no. And he gets like that.

  323. I said it gets like, hey your response to that situation gift

  324. so fast. Well, your joy response should

  325. be like that cause there's trials and tribulations coming

  326. that all of a sudden, you're in faith.

  327. Now, this sentence anymore, this is just the attitude and action

  328. of the circumstance. Mad depressed, sad offended.

  329. MV all kinds of stuff. They ultimately can produce

  330. negative results and you get hit, you're not in sin, But Here

  331. Comes The Wave. And we're not in sin, but we're

  332. complaining. And we're depressed about this,

  333. we're like what we going to do? We'll be going to do all the

  334. while the Lord's and the throne. The throne saying, bro, get up

  335. and joy, come on, Rise Above This, under your feet, get up,

  336. get up, get up. Get up.

  337. So some of you three days to press before you like me, just

  338. go ahead and laugh about this but we want to be at a here

  339. comes the trial. Ha ha ha.

  340. God, let's just praise His name. Let's just go ahead and act like

  341. he's still on the throne that this can't stop me.

  342. Just can't hinder me now. I'm not talking fairy tale.

  343. I'm talking legitimate lifestyle.

  344. And I remember when I was in Bible College, I was confronted

  345. with joy. Had a wife, three kids, working

  346. a third shift job. Staying up all night long

  347. because I didn't want to be away from my family during a second

  348. shift. Basically went to see them all

  349. to the weekend. So, I chose to sacrifice sleep.

  350. So I could be on my family from 6 p.m. to 10, putting them to

  351. bed eating with them. Making it look like everything's

  352. normal. Many nice.

  353. I kiss my wife. Goodnight to go in the bed and I

  354. sure wanted to crawl into sheets, but I gotta go to work.

  355. And then I hit the job at 10:30 work till 7:00.

  356. If we had all the orders pulled sometimes we didn't when we were

  357. running a little bit late run home and if we got out on time,

  358. I could shower. Lay down for 30 minutes, get up

  359. and go to class. But if we were late, getting

  360. orders, done. It shower change.

  361. Why she took the kids to school? Pick me up on the way, so we can

  362. get to class. Now, I go to class and man,

  363. those classes after a while, we're on a third shift was

  364. rough. I would just sit down till you

  365. had a sign-in back, then I would sign in, I would get up, stand

  366. up, just go to the back of the class and staying because I know

  367. if I sit I'm not going to make it.

  368. I'm just not going to make it then Monday.

  369. Wednesday Friday, I made my body do something crazy.

  370. I said you're going to work out for you.

  371. Go home and sleep. Then I went to the gym with

  372. somebody, hit the gym with them so that my body wouldn't go to

  373. poo. While I was in Bible school and

  374. then I went go home and sleep for 5 hours.

  375. My wife would get home from cleaning.

  376. My five hours will be broken sleep because my oldest son

  377. would show up the middle schooler he say, Dad, I'm home.

  378. Thank you. I fall back to sleep, then he

  379. would walk in our neighborhood to the elementary school.

  380. Pick up my other two kids come wake me up.

  381. Dad we're home okay and then I get about another hour for Marcy

  382. comes and Sean will watch Jason Brianna.

  383. Then Marcy would come. She says honey I'm home and she

  384. would do After she made the meal and I would come in and gauge

  385. the family. We did this for 18 months, 18

  386. months, Preston doing making sure.

  387. Right? And in that environment, I had a

  388. instructor. Say if you're not enjoy, you

  389. don't have faith. Maybe it was sleep deprivation

  390. but I'm like, shut up. I mean, I am doing everything I

  391. can to be here and you felt the weight of it all.

  392. You felt the weight. And I went walking into class

  393. all the time going hahaha, this is the day, the Lord has made a

  394. I'm like, I'm here, I'm here. I'm going to get what I can get.

  395. Don't talk to me, don't talk to me because Raymond didn't have

  396. coffee vending machines out in the classroom like some that

  397. just graduated had, we didn't have that luxury.

  398. So you just had to suck it up, man.

  399. You know, I wish I had smelling salts back then but it didn't

  400. work. Are you hearing me?

  401. But about three years later? I realized I was kept reading

  402. the word and seeing in Scripture.

  403. All that worry, anxiety, all that weight that I was carrying

  404. around and I want casting off. I really wasn't in faith.

  405. I was only a person who knew God could But wasn't it making a

  406. demand on him to do it for me cuz by God I believe it.

  407. And since I believe it I'm just going to sit and rest and I'm a

  408. laugh right now. I got joy.

  409. It's no problem. We got it.

  410. I will tell my wife really out of sometimes anger or

  411. frustration. We're going to make it, we got

  412. it. I don't know how because I don't

  413. really have an inner peace. I'm just like, it's got to

  414. happen but then I realized it happens because I have fully

  415. persuaded that what he said. And when I'm furling, persuaded

  416. that what he said, where's anxiety now?

  417. And what do I need to see to tell me something different when

  418. his word is forever settled in heaven?

  419. Are you hearing what I'm saying? That's why when you look over at

  420. Psalms 119 and verse 162, You can be full of joy.

  421. If you are full of the word, he said I Rejoice at your, you

  422. cannot. Maintain full Joy level.

  423. Outside of consistent Bible reading, the reason why the

  424. majority of churches are depressed.

  425. And on pills, I'm not talking about the world, I'll talk about

  426. the on God's house because he deals with his house.

  427. First anyway, the reason they are is because they're not

  428. rejoicing at the word. They want to have a laughing

  429. time in an experience. But they don't know that Joy is

  430. in the word. Because Joy comes by the spirit

  431. of God and him alone. I said, by the spirit of God in

  432. him alone. And remember what Jesus said

  433. again about the spirit, he said, now when he comes, that is the

  434. spirit of Truth. He's going to remind you of

  435. things. I've said, well, if you haven't

  436. been hearing what he says, how can he remind you?

  437. So he's not gonna remind you of something in the word that

  438. you've not been in. Number two, he will guide you

  439. into all truth. Jesus said, I am the way the, so

  440. if you're not in the word, then you're not in truth.

  441. So he can't reveal truth because you're not reading the word.

  442. He said I'll teach you all things and the teaching he

  443. teaches is what's contained, the Revelation knowledge of the

  444. word. That's why Peter was talking

  445. about this inexpressible, Joy. He said because of the

  446. revelation of Jesus Christ are Jesus, the king.

  447. Revelation of what the king says, in any situation of your

  448. life because your faith is being tested is being proved out.

  449. Well, what is faith? Faith comes by hearing period.

  450. So the the world has Faith. But then Paul qualifies our

  451. faith in Romans 10, he said, faith comes by hearing hearing,

  452. our hearing, then is from the word of God.

  453. So, don't put your faith in. Just what you hear.

  454. Put your faith in what you've heard from.

  455. God's word. So faith comes by hearing

  456. hearing from the word of God. So make your hearing, be the

  457. word of God, because when you get the word of the king,

  458. there's power and his word is forever settled.

  459. Which means when he just said for you to stand on and for you

  460. to do in your Circumstance, the proving of your faith, despite

  461. the trial you're in will cause you to be in great joy.

  462. Why cause I got a word from the King.

  463. I can Rejoice at the word, Psalms again, 119 162, I Rejoice

  464. at your word as one, who finds great spoil.

  465. You know, how many people are depressed as they run after

  466. money, bankrupt, blobs bankrupt relationships.

  467. And again, don't don't get their their take time.

  468. Feeds their Instagram feeds, all their little feeds like they're

  469. living the grant the Glamorous Life, you know, most of them

  470. been through 15 men 23 women, you know, they have so many

  471. broken relationships, they have all that they aren't putting up

  472. all the drugs that they're doing and how it's left them.

  473. The next day, they're throwing money around in front of their

  474. phone and they're showing you all of their luxury cars, but

  475. they're not showing you when they're crying in the mascara is

  476. all down because they've been beat by another guy. oh, you

  477. don't want to hear this so they portray like they've got great

  478. spoils but the real spoil comes to those who Rejoice that the

  479. word That's what great spoils are located.

  480. But you got to Rejoice that the word you've got to quit doing

  481. this. I gotta read the Bible.

  482. Hmm, well I should read the word today.

  483. I'm coming. I'm just letting one of those

  484. Salem. Moment's pause commonly.

  485. Think on these things. I mean, we already have a wrong

  486. attitude. I mean, at least the men now

  487. Lord, whoo. Yeah, I need to go read, I get

  488. it. So, when I get in there, let me

  489. dig it out, fast. Help me to dig it on in there.

  490. I'm telling you, I know when my joy, Tank is waning.

  491. I know it because it's always predicated on my response to

  492. situations and I'm not saying even outward most of them are

  493. not outward. I can actually respond

  494. biblically, but internally, I know who that was a challenge

  495. for me to do it that way. And there's only one way.

  496. Only one to fill the tank. Only one. it is getting in the

  497. word then if I want to accelerate my word time to make

  498. it doubly powerful, I'll pray in the spirit as well because

  499. praying in the spirit, builds up my most.

  500. Holy and if I don't have faith because faith comes by hearing

  501. hearing from the word of God. See, a lot of people are full of

  502. the Holy Ghost and praying in the spirit but still feel

  503. depressed. The reason they feel depressed

  504. because they're trying to fill their tank up with praying in

  505. the spirit. Oh, okay.

  506. There are a lot of charismatic churches that want to have just

  507. full-blown running shouting dancing, Don't Preach the word.

  508. Let's Pretend the Holy Ghost showed up today.

  509. Let's sweat ourselves crazy and let's all pray in the spirit out

  510. super loud. Then we leave service and were

  511. no more full and we'll use the scripture, you know, praying in

  512. the spirit building ourselves up, but it goes on and says, in

  513. your Most, Holy Faith. Faith.

  514. So if you're not first in the word, okay?

  515. Back in the day, some of you can identify They used to have

  516. chocolate milk in school. They may still have it today.

  517. The cartons member, the cartons, you can like till it and pull

  518. it, right? Or you open it all the way up.

  519. How many you took your straw in school with your chocolate milk

  520. and you blew into the bottom of it?

  521. What took place? The bubbles, why were we so

  522. fascinated with that? So we were wasting our chocolate

  523. milk. To be honest with you, but we

  524. did it and we bring a little, we were praying in tongues will

  525. scrape a little stration right now and it will bubble.

  526. But if that thing was empty and I blew in it, oh, you want to

  527. hear this? Because breath is a type and

  528. Shadow of the spirit but the breath and something empty.

  529. Can't have it bubble up. The word is a type and Shadow of

  530. Quid. So the minute I put breath on

  531. what I have, full of it can bubble up and come out.

  532. So I want to rejoice in his word.

  533. No one I know where my source lies, I'm fixing to jump over

  534. here because I know what's going down.

  535. I see what's happening. I see what's coming my way.

  536. I see Walsall being thrown, I recognize what parts of the

  537. devil. What part was me and what part

  538. is, just an expansion of me, trusting in the grace of God,

  539. which is sufficient for every situation on him.

  540. And as a result of that, there's only one answer is grunt to the

  541. word. Get in the word, read the word.

  542. Keep yourself from sleeping to get yourself full.

  543. Because once you get that then you can get it bubbled up by the

  544. spirit. And all of a sudden that

  545. situation looks different, Joy has the capacity to empower you

  546. with the ability to see your situation from God's

  547. perspective. There is nothing, you're in and

  548. it's amazing. Believers.

  549. You know, if you don't watch out, you become a double minded

  550. person so fast and it's very important that you stay solid.

  551. Because here's the thing. Oh, praise the lord, we will go

  552. talk to the world. People.

  553. We know that are not gods kaena and we will tell them how great

  554. God is, how much he loves them. Like, seriously, God doesn't

  555. care. You've done He loves fish.

  556. You need to come on. Just accept what he's done.

  557. I know that it doesn't matter. I know.

  558. You'd it doesn't matter. And we like are selling this

  559. thing, hard. And then we get in a situation.

  560. And we're like, God abandoned us.

  561. Like he loves the world more than his own kids. now, if he'll

  562. go and grab someone out of the pit of Hell, so to speak,

  563. Destined for death. Seriously.

  564. He'll take care of one of his kids who stumble and it's real

  565. quick to offer you ways of Escape immediately.

  566. I mean he loves you so much. He's like, come I go.

  567. Hey I got it. But the problem is before you

  568. had no capacity, when you fell like this, every time you felt

  569. like this before me, you couldn't do nothing.

  570. But now you can now you can get up.

  571. Now you can confess now, you can plead the blood.

  572. Now you can get instant forgiveness.

  573. Now you can move on. Now you can do.

  574. I'm glad my kids didn't quit. Walking.

  575. The first time they fell. And I'm carrying my son and my

  576. daughter around like this and my other son like this all the

  577. time. Why are you carrying your 30?

  578. How old are you now Shawn? 36, 36.

  579. Why are you carrying your 36 year old son around?

  580. Well, he fell once and I loved him.

  581. And he just could never overcome the embarrassment.

  582. And the fear of falling. But that's why the Bible talks

  583. about childlike Faith. That's why I love childlike

  584. Faith. Because child children when they

  585. fall and they cry, they don't have this resident register.

  586. If I do this again, it's going to happen again.

  587. They're like, let me try this again.

  588. Right. You're like bro you just busted

  589. your head. You you doing it again?

  590. Seriously. You're going for it.

  591. You're gonna go for it. See weird.

  592. I'm so concerned, please don't get up.

  593. I don't want you to hurt yourself kids.

  594. Like, I don't know what just happened, but I let it go.

  595. I'm gonna try this thing again. I can't we be quick like that as

  596. Believers. It's all right, let me get back

  597. up because the Lord cares for me.

  598. He's gonna get behind me. He's going to help me out.

  599. He's going to help me walk. Let me tell you, he's going to

  600. have to let you walk. Oh my goodness.

  601. Are you hearing me? Look at Isaiah 55.

  602. Isaiah 55. Look at this verse 67.

  603. Why is it that we can jump right into Joy Superfast.

  604. Look at this. It says seek the Lord, while you

  605. he may be found that implies, he could not be Okay, call upon him

  606. while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way

  607. and the unrighteous man, his. Now, what do you got to forsake?

  608. Your ways, and your thoughts? Don't get born again and hold on

  609. to your thoughts. Don't do it.

  610. You got to forsake them. You got to get rid of them and

  611. let him return to the Lord. He will have compassion on him

  612. and to our God, he will abundantly what.

  613. Now he's talked about the nation of Israel here, they were in

  614. covering it and all he's asking them is quit doing your idol

  615. worship, okay? Repent.

  616. Truly, come after me. Begin to see me.

  617. The way you're living in a nation is not how I taught you

  618. to live in a nation. And he said, man, if you just

  619. turn back to me, I will abundantly pardon.

  620. Then he goes verse 8 for my thoughts are not your thoughts,

  621. nor my ways, your ways declares the Lord.

  622. Now that doesn't mean they're not obtainable.

  623. He wouldn't ask you to abandon your ways in your thoughts and

  624. you couldn't have his what he is saying is that quit doing your

  625. thoughts and ways cause they're not mine, I want you to do.

  626. Highway, I want you to do my thoughts.

  627. Jesus said, I am the well, why would he tell us?

  628. He is the way, and then we couldn't find it.

  629. So this scripture is not for the religious Christian, who says,

  630. well, you know, the Lord works in mysterious ways, his ways are

  631. not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts.

  632. This is going to be our bold, Instagram feeds they say.

  633. His way he works in mysterious ways, his thoughts are not our

  634. thoughts and his ways are not our ways.

  635. So he just kind of does what he wants to do.

  636. And we're just stuck, picking it up.

  637. But, you know, he's better now. So even when it's, you know, not

  638. like we want it and most of the things are going through is

  639. coming from the devil and they're attributing it to God.

  640. And most of these are going through is because it's

  641. attributed to their flesh, not crucifying it And then they're

  642. given credit for all their hard. All their hard work to God, like

  643. it something glorious. It's called ignorance.

  644. No, the scripture is very clear. Abandon your ways and thoughts

  645. because my ways and going to look like your ways and my

  646. thoughts are not going to look like your thoughts.

  647. Let's go on. Just so you understand context

  648. for as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not

  649. return there without watering the Earth and making its bare

  650. and Sprout and Furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the

  651. eater. So, will my word be which Goes

  652. Forth from my mouth? Well, if his way and his thought

  653. comes from his mouth, Then who is hearing it.

  654. What he is saying is abandon your thoughts?

  655. Abandon your ways? I have thoughts.

  656. They're not yours. I have ways they're not yours.

  657. So now when my word comes out of my mouth and you hear it and act

  658. on it, you abandon your way to do it now and do it my way, you

  659. abandon your thought on how to handle it and you do it.

  660. My thought, then it will not return to me, empty without

  661. accomplishing, what I desire. Out succeeding in the matter

  662. which I sent them. Verse 12 for you will go out

  663. with, you'll go out with what, why are you going to have joy?

  664. Because God in heaven who Seated on the throne?

  665. And Jesus says, As right hand says some tell pastor Earle to

  666. do this in this situation and jesusita are says, okay dead.

  667. He said, holy ghost, who is inside?

  668. Pastor Earle you're eating and upon Him, you've Empowered him.

  669. And he hears you by the spirit that is in him, that's in my

  670. lightness, that's in the new creation, tell him this is the

  671. way and then when I hear it in my spirit then I say, well the

  672. Lord said this, now the minute I speak it out, I'm like, that's

  673. how it's gonna be. And even though the devil said,

  674. ain't gonna be that way. Or the world said ain't gonna be

  675. that way or the church people who don't have the Revelation.

  676. I have say, it ain't gonna be that way.

  677. Then I'll say, I'll just stay with the Lord.

  678. You know what? I'm fixing to laugh.

  679. Ha ha. Half.

  680. Because I got Joey now because how could what I say that.

  681. He said and believe what he said, called.

  682. Faith comes by hearing and hearing from the word of God,

  683. just heard from Heaven. I just heard from heaven.

  684. So, how in the world can I not have joy?

  685. When I am firmly told and there's no doubt to this, that

  686. it's going to be the way God said it.

  687. That's why James said it this way.

  688. Let's just consider it all. Consider it all.

  689. Consider it. Some consider certain

  690. circumstances, certain situations, no consider it all

  691. when you enter into various trials and tribulations, right?

  692. And he goes on and says for from man lacks.

  693. Let him ask. Well, what are you asking?

  694. God now Lord I ain't going to do it to my way.

  695. I'm not going to do it. My thought, how do you want to

  696. do this? I need to hear from Heaven.

  697. I need a word. That word me.

  698. A lot of times that word comes through scripture.

  699. I'm in it. I'm reading it because I Rejoice

  700. at his word. Talk to me, talk to me.

  701. What do you say about this? And then the spirit reveals what

  702. he's saying. I'm like, that's my word.

  703. Now, let me say that word because I'll just consider this

  704. Joy because this is another opportunity for my faith to be

  705. proven that I'm mature lacking in nothing.

  706. But if I ask for that thought and that way and then waiver,

  707. now, how do you waver Do you see how they treated me?

  708. Todd. I just man out of him, a piece

  709. of my heart. I just tell him.

  710. Mmm, and I'm Lord, who cheese? I should call them up and tell

  711. them about themselves. Lord, that's what I'm thinking.

  712. I'm just talking to you. I feel like this is the time

  713. that we should, let them know who they really are because they

  714. probably could get right with you.

  715. Because maybe they don't know. That's who they are.

  716. And somebody going to be bold enough to who they are.

  717. And then you get over here in the Lord says Nah.

  718. This is what I want you to do. I want you to pay your mortgage.

  719. Lorne, I'm telling you that it might be time for Revelation to

  720. take place and the Lord comes over here and says just pay

  721. their mortgage. All right, Lord, I'm going to

  722. pay their mortgage van, I'm gonna do it.

  723. So you go to the bank, right? You get somebody to find out

  724. where their mortgage is that who it is and you're fixing to ride

  725. it and you're up at the counter. You're like, you look at your

  726. account, you're like cheese, that's gonna leave me but five

  727. dollars. You walk out Lord, I really

  728. believe. But I should call them.

  729. That's called a double-minded man, unstable in all their ways

  730. and they can expect to receive nothing. even though we have the

  731. answer, we can't get it because we keep coming out.

  732. Well I'm Healed. Well, I feel horrible.

  733. I'm Healed, man. I'm so sick.

  734. I don't know if I'm ever going to get rid of this.

  735. Well, what are you healed? Are you never going to get rid

  736. of it? Well, I said I was healed, but

  737. you also said you're not going to get rid of it, and when you

  738. say in front of you sweetie, but probably not going to get rid of

  739. it, then you can't expect that you're now he'll Lord, he's more

  740. than enough. He's more than enough.

  741. He's gonna meet. My need is gonna be money.

  742. I don't know how we gonna meet this need.

  743. I just don't know how, I mean, how are we gonna pay this?

  744. Well, is he going to meet you need?

  745. Is he gonna pay it? Not gonna pay it because the

  746. minute you're over there. You're taking your thought and

  747. your, allowing the circumstance to dictate the thought instead

  748. of staying over where the word is that, there's like, man, I

  749. got perfect peace. This storm is Raging, but I'm

  750. fine, because I got a word, I got a word and I've spoke the

  751. word and I'm not going to come off that word.

  752. This is the difference between children and mature Believers,

  753. and we got plenty of immaturity running muck in the world,

  754. especially with the lost world, we know that, but even more.

  755. So in the church that do Want to grow up.

  756. Go ahead and determine. I refuse to be the baby anymore.

  757. I'm gonna do his word and I'm quit looking at site.

  758. I'm gonna quit going by my feelings.

  759. I'm gonna click justify my behavior.

  760. Know what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna laugh, haha, I'm a laugh

  761. even when I don't feel like it, he says seek the Lord right

  762. because get again verse 12, where you will go out with joy

  763. and be led forth with peace, the mountains and the hills will

  764. break forth with shouts of joy. You want your environment to

  765. start singing, see the problem is, we can't get our environment

  766. to start running towards our joy because we are in, enjoy, see if

  767. we'll go out enjoy and let out in peace mean and it's just

  768. going to be the way he is and I refuse to act like it's got me

  769. beat. Because how can it?

  770. I'm a child of the king. Then it says the mountains and

  771. the hills will break forth with shouts of Joy.

  772. Before you, that means the environment that needs to get to

  773. you to change that situation. Whether it's Finance, whether

  774. it's healing, whether it's, a restore relationship, whatever

  775. it is, It can start coming your clothes, your whole environment

  776. will start. And the fields will clap their

  777. hands in essence, your environment.

  778. Say thank God. A child of God, finally started

  779. standing in faith. Praise God, come on, Child of

  780. God, come on, come on, Child of God, go ahead, child of God, go

  781. ahead and rejoice, go ahead and have joy.

  782. Glad child of God, go ahead. Child of God.

  783. You just go ahead, your environment will begin to praise

  784. you because you no longer are staying subject to a world.

  785. You've been redeemed from taking out.

  786. Stop being pulled out of the system.

  787. I mean we already walk around and say where we're not of this

  788. world will then act in the world.

  789. You're not of I mean act in the world your of and said the one

  790. you're not up the world's depressed the world's crime.

  791. The world has no hope the world's always wringing their

  792. hands. The world's in anxiety.

  793. But yet I can jump to Joy. Okay, Isaiah 61.

  794. Go ahead and Shout say, Amen. Come on.

  795. Look at this again. We've heard this scripture but

  796. let's keep it in context, man. Jesus himself actually use the

  797. scripture. Alright, says, the spirit of the

  798. Lord is upon me because he the Lord has anointed me to preach,

  799. good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal, the

  800. brokenhearted to Proclaim Liberty to the captives and the

  801. opening of Prisons to those who are bound to proclaim the

  802. acceptable year of the Lord. And he stopped there, he did not

  803. say the next statement. Okay, but that days coming and

  804. the day of Vengeance of our God. To comfort all who to console

  805. those who mourn in Zion, what will he do to give them Beauty

  806. for Ashes? The oil of, for the Garment of,

  807. for the spirit of But they may be called Trees of

  808. Righteousness. The planting of the Lord that he

  809. may be glorified, you know, we have a tree here in St,

  810. Augustine called the old General.

  811. It's down off of San Marco. Is that what is that hotel?

  812. Y'all remember what it was? I think you should be a Hampton

  813. Inn or something or something, Howard Johnson.

  814. The thing is what it used to be. It may not be that anymore

  815. called the old General. Right.

  816. They believe that tree was here when you when, you know, Florida

  817. was discovered so to speak. I mean it's been here for a

  818. while but somebody landed and decided to colonize besides

  819. those who are already here. Okay.

  820. But you read the little placard How old it is.

  821. You know, it's a live oak. Glad it's not dead Oak.

  822. But it's just being growing and it's got its roots deep it has,

  823. it's handled some hurricanes. Actually some great storms of

  824. life, it's got such a deep system now that it can just

  825. about withstand, anything are you hearing what I'm saying?

  826. Go back to that scripture though.

  827. See when the spirit of the Lord is upon you.

  828. Then why would you verse 3? Hold on to ashes when he wants

  829. to give you beauty. If the spirit of the Lord is

  830. upon you, I would, you want to keep a spirit of heaviness when

  831. he wants. Give you the oil of Joy.

  832. I mean, why would you want the spirit of heaviness when he

  833. wants to give you a are the oil of joy for mourning?

  834. Why would you want to keep a spirit of heaviness when he

  835. wants to give you a Garment of Praise?

  836. I mean, why are you anointed anyway?

  837. It's amazing how we singular out things of God.

  838. And then at like it's not applicable yet the anointing was

  839. not just to break the Yoke of the devil's.

  840. Hold on you because you were in the bondage of sin, and we're

  841. going to die and be thrown into the Lake of Fire.

  842. The anointing didn't just do that.

  843. Not only the did the anointing liberates, you from a

  844. tyrannical, ruler and bring you into the kingdom of his beloved

  845. Son. But then he made exchanges.

  846. Well, I'm just unworthy not anymore.

  847. Not anymore. You've been raised up and seated

  848. in Heavenly places in Christ. You I wish I could get somebody

  849. happy in here. Not anymore.

  850. Should you be morning? Not anymore?

  851. Should you be sitting in sack cloth?

  852. And Ashes not anymore? Should you be having a spirit of

  853. heaviness wringing? Your hands about how your

  854. business is going to make it in today's economy, know you have

  855. access by the spirit The only way you're gonna get Beauty, and

  856. I'm not talking by knife and Botox.

  857. I'm talking real Beauty because all this is superficial.

  858. It's a got nothing. It has nothing on the glory.

  859. I said I had nothing on the glory.

  860. Amen. You can get Beauty.

  861. You can have joy. You can have a praise in your

  862. mouth off. All you got to do is believe

  863. believe God's word Rejoice at his word for your situation.

  864. Consider everything this an opportunity for me to just

  865. praise him and have joy in life. Right now, I'm just going to

  866. laugh about this. And laughing by faith.

  867. Means you're calling those things that be not as though

  868. they were which means I don't feel like laughing but I'm going

  869. to demonstrate it anyway and if you just yield then the spirit

  870. of pick up your laughter. Oh man I said the spirit of pick

  871. up. Look what it says here in the

  872. Amplified classic. I want you to see this verse the

  873. third verse, he says to Grant consolation and joy to those who

  874. mourn in Zion to give them Ornament a Garland a diadem of

  875. beauty instead of Ashes, the oil of Joy, instead of mourning, the

  876. Garment of expressive praise. Instead of a, instead of a heavy

  877. burden and falling failing spirit, that they may be called

  878. Oaks of righteousness, lofty, strong and magnificent

  879. distinguish for up writing it, right?

  880. And it's Justice and right standing with God, the planting

  881. of the Lord that he may be glorified.

  882. Why is this important? Because the latter part of

  883. Nehemiah, 8:10 the latter part. He said this do, Do not be

  884. grieved for the joy of the Lord, is your, you know why most

  885. Believers are broke down, is because they're not tapping into

  886. the joy that's resident within them.

  887. And they can't tap into it because number one, they'd first

  888. don't rejoice in the word and because they're not carriers of

  889. the word so that they making stir up their faith and firmly.

  890. Persuaded my king said, this house going to be in the

  891. situation of by got off refuse to think, anywhere else.

  892. I don't care what I'm feeling right now.

  893. I don't care what they're saying about me right now.

  894. I don't care what they think about right now.

  895. I don't care. I don't care that I failed, I

  896. don't care. I got up and he said that, if I

  897. confess my sins, he's faithful to just forgive me of my sin and

  898. cleanse me from all unrighteousness.

  899. I'm cleanses is, if I never done it and I'm not going to lay

  900. around and act like I'm no good because I made a mistake.

  901. No, I'm just going to go ahead and get up and go ha.

  910. I've asked him to forgive me, and I'm just gonna wear the joy

  911. of God. I'm just gonna wear it.

  912. I'm going to put it on because the joy of the Lord is my

  913. strength. You're not going to make it

  914. through the trial. If you're wringing your hands,

  915. trying to figure it out. Now going to do it and yet God

  916. wants to triumphant Church. A group of people who will laugh

  917. in the face of adversity. Kind of like bring it on with a

  918. smile. Right, bring it on and believe

  1005. And start to feel that Spirit of heaviness.

  1006. Oh, no, I gotta go. Garment of Praise no morning,

  1007. tries to show back up about that.

  1008. Such not. Let me go back to the whole a

  1009. glass of Joy. Let me talk to the hold it.

  1010. Here it is Joy. The only reason you don't have

  1011. us because you're not believing that you possess it to walk

  1012. around as a depressed. Believer tells me you have no

  1013. faith. I didn't say you didn't know his

  1014. word but no one has word and being in faith with his word or

  1015. two different things because the Pharisees knew the word.

  1016. They knew it. So, you shouldn't settle for

  1017. another day of depression. You shouldn't you should say.

  1018. I got your pastor Earle. I see it now.

  1019. I'm working on my time frame. How fast can I pick a fruit?

  1020. I got it. You get knocked down.

  1021. Holy Ghost, give it to me. Come on.

  1022. Give me that. Give me that fruit!

  1023. Give me that Joy! Give me that.

  1024. Joy. I got to get back up there.

  1025. I need. I don't want this heavy and I'm

  1026. not going to stay here. I am not going to stay here.

  1027. I'm not going to stay here. It's a shame for me to stay

  1028. here. Not when I got inside me.

  1029. Joy, joy is right here. What do I need to do?

  1030. Pull it up. What I got to do?

  1031. What do I didn't do? Pull up.

  1032. Give it to me. Come on.

  1033. I want to eat this thing. I want to Batman, when you get

  1034. the revelation of what God wants you to do in that situation, you

  1035. get ahold of that word and you begin and sometimes you just

  1036. began to Rejoice. I know he's gonna give it to me

  1037. and him gave it to me yet but I'm gonna go ahead and rejoice.

  1038. Anyway, well, what does rejoicing look like?

  1039. Well, it doesn't look like what y'all just did.

  1040. What does rejoicing look like? Yeah, cause here's the thing.

  1041. You should Rejoice whether you feel like rejoicing because if

  1042. you know that God has the capacity to give you the word

  1043. long before you even receive it, you're already in faith.

  1044. You're going to give the were before you got the word.

  1045. So Joy is not predicated on. After I get it is predicated on.

  1046. The fact, I already know. I can Rejoice always.

  1047. So I'll just go ahead and rejoice.

  1048. Praise the Lord. I'm going to get an answer glory

  1049. to God. I'm gonna seek you and your.

  1050. I'm gonna be, you're gonna be found by me.

  1051. I'm Gonna Knock. And you're gonna Open the door.

  1052. I might as well just Rejoice. Now, I'm also going to start

  1053. pulling it up, cause when I get that word for sure, it's just

  1054. gonna call that joy to be more and more and more and more and

  1055. more, and I'll be undaunted. I'll be undaunted.

  1056. They'll come a point. You Hit Me With Your Best Shot.

  1057. I just dated myself, right? Fire away.

  1058. Go. Don't, you know the devil's

  1059. firing but the minute his flaming missile comes.

  1129. Shout okay, stop stop. Stop, stop everybody quiet.

  1130. Don't laugh. I mean, let the Holy Ghost takes

  1131. over and I much I can do about it then hands down.

  1132. Getting praise. Let's do it again but I like, I

  1133. like the number three is to Trinity.

  1134. I drink at least three cups of coffee for sure.

  1135. I never stopped before three the trinity. this is an exercise,

  1136. I'm doing this intentional because you need to understand

  1137. your Praises that quick And your praise is not predicated in your

  1138. joy is not predicated on the situation, you're in.

  1139. Am I saying make sure I'm saying these words right, because I got

  1140. to get my words ride. Sometimes, I don't say, oh, the

  1141. right words and I'll have to fix it.

  1142. We do not have to let our situation dictate our praise and

  1143. this simple exercise when you get somewhere a listen.

  1144. My wife did a thing back in the day and I didn't realize what

  1145. she was doing and it scared me all the time but it was one way

  1146. for her to praise. She would just shout and it was

  1147. usually when, you know, not everything was going good and I

  1148. was driving I was down the road and all of a sudden, she just

  1149. go. Wow, real loud.

  1150. And I and my first response was you all right?

  1151. But it was her way of casting off the care getting rid of

  1152. that, Spirit of heaviness. Basically in the word, cast your

  1153. cares on the Lord literally means to violently throw off.

  1154. That's not like, let me please take off this care.

  1155. Oh my gosh. No it means Stirrup.

  1156. I mean I'm not gonna do it with my jacket cause I just bought it

  1157. on the rip it but you understand it's like rip it off.

  1158. Get it off as fast as you do at all.

  1159. You need to understand, your praise doesn't need to be most

  1160. of you don't work in a library. Anyways, what I'm saying.

  1161. So there's not a problem at work.

  1162. Just to go ahead and Shout praise.

  1163. They already think you're crazy at work, so let's just go ahead

  1164. and make it real. Go ahead and give them more

  1165. evidence. But when they see you laughing,

  1166. they see your praise in the midst, then they'll eventually

  1167. come to you and say how in the world?

  1168. Yeah, you okay. Yeah.

  1169. How in the world can you have this kind of Joy right now?

  1170. And you're like, well the joy I have you can't get it from here.
