00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:06.519
Hello everybody, This is Pastor Rick's
Daily Hope. Thank you so much for

2
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:10.759
joining us today, and if you're
brand new, welcome to the Daily Hope

3
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:15.160
family. We hope you'll enjoy the
teachings of Pastor Rick Warren right here.

4
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:19.320
I'm so excited for all of you
to learn about your shape. It might

5
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:23.719
not be the shape you're thinking of
right now. Rick loves to use acrostics

6
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:31.679
and this one is shape your shape, your spiritual gifts, heart, abilities,

7
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:36.560
personality, and experiences. And one
of the reasons I love this series

8
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:40.479
and have shared it with so many
friends is because Rick talks about the way

9
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:44.840
God wired you and why you need
not just know your shape, but how

10
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:49.479
to use it to do the things
that God designed you to do. So

11
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.840
let's jump in. Here's Pastor Rick
with part one of a message called the

12
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:59.759
Purpose of your Personality. There are
five things that make you you shape,

13
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.920
your spiritual gifts, how God has
gifted you. What are your gifted to

14
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.239
do? Your heart that's the age, what do you love to do?

15
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:12.400
Your abilities, the natural things that
you're good at. P is your personality.

16
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:18.040
E are your experiences. Now today
we're going to look at personality and

17
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:22.400
the Bible says in Mark chapter twelve, verse thirty. It's the song we

18
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.439
just say. It says you must
love the Lord your God. Read this

19
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:32.159
with me with all your heart,
all your soul, all your mind,

20
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:37.640
and all your strength. Now this
is called the Great Commandment. One day

21
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.920
a guy asked Jesus Lord, summarize
the whole Bible for me, and he

22
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:42.599
goes, Okay, this is it. If you don't get anything else,

23
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:47.879
get this one. The number one
purpose of your life is this love God

24
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:52.879
with all your heart and soul and
mind and strength. Now there are other

25
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:56.239
purposes for your life, but he
says that's number one. That's the most

26
00:01:56.319 --> 00:02:00.599
important thing. God did not put
you on this planet just to mark your

27
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:06.640
to do list. He put you
here to learn to love Him with all

28
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.759
your heart and soul and mind and
strength. Now, how do you do

29
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:15.120
that. What's the difference between your
heart and your soul, and what's the

30
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:20.159
difference between your soul and your strength? How do you do that? Well,

31
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.800
we're going to look at it today. One of the ways you can

32
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.919
look at this is through the lens
of personality. Now, this is the

33
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.120
Great Commandment, and noticed you are
commanded to do all four you're to love

34
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:36.039
God with your heart, with your
soul, with your mind and your strength.

35
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.879
But the reality is every one of
us here focuses on one of those

36
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:45.159
ways more than the other. You
tend to be a heart person, or

37
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:50.280
a soul person, or a mind
person or a strength person. And that

38
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:54.680
is your God given personality. And
God wants you to love Him, to

39
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:59.120
worship him, and to serve him
with your personality. God doesn't want you

40
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:04.159
trying to worship like somebody else,
and he doesn't want you to serve him

41
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.599
like somebody else. He wants you
to do it with the personality He gave

42
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.000
you. And so you don't have
to worship God the way somebody else does

43
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:14.039
it. You do it with your
heart or your soul, or your mind

44
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.199
and your strength. And they're actually, as I said, heart people,

45
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.479
soule people, mind people, and
strength people. What's the difference. Well,

46
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.759
that's what we're going to talk about
today. Another way to say this

47
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:30.080
is love God with all your talk
and all your feelings and all your thinking

48
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:38.599
and all of your acting, talking, feeling, thinking and acting. It's

49
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.199
another way of saying the exact same
thing. We'll explain that to you today.

50
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:47.000
God shaped you primarily to be either
a talker or a feeler, or

51
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:53.159
a thinker or a doer. Now, heart people are good at talking,

52
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:59.080
and we'll explain the connection between heart
and words in just a minute. But

53
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.280
they're verbal. They tend to be
very verbal. They're good at discussions.

54
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.719
They're good at talking, they're good
at putting their words together. Soul people

55
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:09.639
are good at feeling. They tend
to be not verbal, but emotional,

56
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.520
and they feel things very deeply,
and they tend to be more in touch

57
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.399
with their emotions than the rest of
us are. Mind people are good at

58
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:20.879
thinking. They tend to be more
mental, not verbal or emotional, but

59
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:27.040
mental, and they think, analyze
things. And strength people tend to be

60
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:31.319
good at doing. They're more physical, they're more practical. They do it.

61
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:36.399
They're not so much thinking or acting
or feeling or even talking, but

62
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:42.720
more of a doer. Now,
you're a blend of all these. There's

63
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.199
a little bit of each of these
in you, and you are to be

64
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.199
that way. You're a combo,
you're a mix, you're a stew but

65
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:57.040
you primarily act in one of these
ways more than the other. And we're

66
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:01.360
going to look at how God wants
you to worship and so and share and

67
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.800
know Him by the way He shaped
you. And you don't have to be

68
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:09.800
somebody you're not. In fact,
the Bible says this in Romans twelve.

69
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:14.720
It says, love from the center
of who you are. Don't fake it.

70
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:16.680
If you're not a feeler, don't
fake it. If you're not a

71
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.279
thinker, don't fake it. If
you're not a talker, don't fake it.

72
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.519
If you're not a doer, don't
fake it. Be who God made

73
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.199
you to be. Now, today
we're going to look at each of these

74
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:31.519
four personalities, and we're going to
look at the purpose of each of these

75
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:36.160
personalities because they're all needed in the
world. We're going to look at the

76
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.920
weakness of each of these four personalities, and we're going to look at a

77
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.639
warning from God about each of these
four personalities. But first, before we

78
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.040
do that, I want to take
a little survey. Let's just see which

79
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:53.759
one you think you are. Am
I a talker, a feeler, a

80
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.600
thinker, or a doer? And
I want everybody to vote on this.

81
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:00.959
And if the person next to you
doesn't vote, you get to vote for

82
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:05.319
them. You point to them and
raise your hand when you think so this

83
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.199
is nobody gets out of this one. Okay, how many of you say,

84
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.519
I'm pretty verbal, I'm a talker. Can I see your hands?

85
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:17.040
I'm a talker, all right,
I like to talk, all right.

86
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.680
How many of you say, I
don't think I'm so much a talker.

87
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:25.879
But I'm a feeler and I'm more
emotional. I feel things deeply. You

88
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:30.560
raise your hands. Okay, how
many of you say, forget those two?

89
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.879
I'm a thinker. I think I'm
more rational. I tend to think,

90
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:38.360
not to pay attention to my emotions. All right, And how many

91
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.399
you say, forget all those guys, I'm a doer. Let's get or

92
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:46.879
done. All right. Let's look
at the four personalities now. The first

93
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:51.519
style, love God with all your
heart, refers to talkers. Talkers are

94
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:57.399
people who love God with their hearts. They say, what's the connection here,

95
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:00.720
Well, the Bible over and over
makes a direct connection between your heart

96
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.199
and your mouth. What you have
in your heart and what you say.

97
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:10.000
For instance, if I have a
problem with cussing, swearing profanity, that's

98
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.480
not a problem in my mouth,
that's a problem in my heart. If

99
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:17.480
I tend to judge people and be
critical and say sarcastic things. That's not

100
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:20.519
a problem in my mouth. That's
a problem in my heart. If I

101
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:26.639
tend to exaggerate things and shade the
truth, that's not a problem with my

102
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.319
mouth. That's a problem in my
heart. If I tend to say things

103
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.120
that I think people want me to
say rather than what I really need to

104
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.920
say, that's not a problem with
my mouth. That's a problem in my

105
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:41.519
heart. Does that make sense?
So what you say has a direct connection

106
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:45.160
to your heart. Now, Jesus
said this, Look up here on the

107
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:51.199
screen. The words that come out
of your mouth come from where your heart.

108
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:57.519
There is a direct heart connection and
heart people can't help but speak.

109
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.519
In fact, look at this verse
up here on the screen. Here's another

110
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:07.000
example. My mouth shouts his praises
because my heart is filled with joy.

111
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.000
Now, whatever your heart is filled
with is going to come out of your

112
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.800
mouth. If you're filled with anger, anger is going to come out of

113
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.639
your mouth. If you're filled with
loneliness, it's going to come out of

114
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.560
your mouth. If your heart's filled
with depression, it's going to come out

115
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.879
of your mouth. If your heart
is filled with joy, that's going to

116
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:28.879
come out of your mouth. So
there is a definite heart mouth connection and

117
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:35.159
talkers are people who worship God from
their heart, and they tend to be

118
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.120
verbal people. Now, heart people
have a real hard time being quiet.

119
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:45.240
It says, I spoke. I
shouted the praise of God because my heart

120
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.320
was filled. And when your heart
is filled and your heart person, you

121
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.519
gotta let it out. You got
to tell other people. Heart people love

122
00:08:52.639 --> 00:09:00.559
to tell stories. The talkers love
to tell stories. They love to sit

123
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:05.919
and converse, especially in heart to
heart conversation. And so if you're a

124
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.399
talker, you know exactly what I'm
talking about. You get pleasure out of

125
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:16.120
conversation. You enjoy talking. Now, the downside of it is is that

126
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:22.039
talkers aren't very good at keeping secrets
because if it's in their heart, it's

127
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.159
going to come out and they're going
to talk. And sometimes that can actually

128
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.200
be a little gossip, but really
it can be used in a positive way

129
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:35.960
too. Look at the next verse
Psalm forty, David says, I have

130
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:41.279
not kept this good news hidden in
my heart. Instead, I have talked

131
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:45.639
about it. See the connection heart
and talk. I have talked about your

132
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:50.919
faithfulness and saving power. I have
told everyone. That's a mark of a

133
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:58.519
talker. They tell everyone. I've
told everyone of your unfailing love and faithfulness.

134
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.559
Now, what is the purpose of
this first personality talkers? The purpose

135
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:09.480
of talkers is that the world needs
communication. You might write that down the

136
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:15.039
world needs communication. We need people
who are communicators. We need people who

137
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.840
can lead discussions. We need people
who can verbalize what all the rest of

138
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.039
us feel. A lot of times
I've been up here speaking and I say

139
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.320
something, you go, I felt
that way. I just didn't know how

140
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:30.039
to say it. And we need
people who can verbalize what a lot of

141
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:35.360
us are feeling. And we need
teachers, and we need counselors, and

142
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.720
we need coaches who can teach us
and direct us. We need comedians,

143
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:45.159
we need preachers, we need all
these kind of people who built on verbal

144
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.519
skills are able to move the world
forward. Now, if you are a

145
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:54.840
talker, and about one fourth of
us are this personality talkers, then I

146
00:10:54.840 --> 00:11:01.600
would encourage you to use your personality
for good. Use it for good,

147
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:07.720
use the ability to talk in a
positive way, because there are enormous benefits

148
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:11.039
that talkers have. Let me give
you just a couple of them. They're

149
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:13.960
here in the Book of Proverbs,
which by the way. If you're a

150
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.879
talker, you should read the Book
of Proverbs over and over and over because

151
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:22.039
it's got to look at good advice
for your personality. And in Proverbs twelve

152
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:28.360
it says this, the words of
the wise bring healing. Do you know

153
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.879
the right kind of word at the
right time can heal a broken heart?

154
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.960
It can restore, it can cure, it can encourage, it can develop,

155
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:39.279
it can build. And I want
to challenge you, if you're a

156
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.759
talker, to use your words and
say, every time I speak, it's

157
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:46.720
going to be to build somebody up, not tear them down, but build

158
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:48.519
them up. I'm a talker,
I admit it. It's what God wired

159
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.320
me to be. And every time
I talk, I'm going to build somebody

160
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:54.639
up, not tear them down.
Look at the next verse, the words

161
00:11:54.639 --> 00:12:00.279
of the wise keep people out of
trouble. You should use your ability to

162
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.720
verbalize, to guide, to direct, to point the rest of us in

163
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.159
the right direction. In fact,
look at this verse up here on the

164
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:15.240
screen. A person's words can be
a source of wisdom, deep as the

165
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:20.200
ocean, fresh as a flowing stream. And if you're a person who's a

166
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.960
talker, God says, I want
you to use your words that come out

167
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.759
of your heart to be as fresh
as a stream. I want you to

168
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:33.799
benefit people, to bless people.
Now, what are the weaknesses of this

169
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.279
personality? What are the weaknesses of
talkers? Well, there's a couple of

170
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:39.960
major weaknesses of talkers. One of
them is the odds increase. If the

171
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:45.399
more you talk, you're going to
say the wrong thing eventually. That's just

172
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.799
the odds. If you don't say
much, you don't have as many possibilities

173
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:56.080
to mess up. But the Bible
says in Proverbs chapter ten, the more

174
00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:01.600
you talk, the more likely you
are to sin. In other words,

175
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.679
King James says, in the multitude
of words, there is sin. In

176
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.519
other words, you're gonna eventually say
the wrong thing, or you're gonna say

177
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:11.679
the right thing at the wrong time
or to the wrong person. If you're

178
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:16.480
talking all the time, just be
aware this is not only your greatest strength,

179
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.480
it is also your greatest weakness.
That's true of all four personalities.

180
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:26.600
And the other thing is that God's
war. God says, it reveals insecurity

181
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.840
when I have to talk all that
all the time, it reveals insecurity a

182
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:37.440
lot of people get very, very
uncomfortable with silence. And so when they're

183
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.799
out on a date, or they're
sitting in a meeting, or somebody's over

184
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:48.120
for dinner or whatever, if the
if the conversation stops, they get very

185
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:58.919
nervous with silence. Tell me,
you go to what's he gonna say something?

186
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:07.240
And so the Bible says this,
there are those those who are sure

187
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:13.759
of themselves, do not talk all
the time. If you're a confident person,

188
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:16.600
you don't have to talk all the
time. You don't have to fill

189
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.639
the gaps, you don't have to
make sure because a lot of times you

190
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.879
get in one of those situations quiet, you just start elaborating while you're not

191
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.600
really saying anything, and you're just
gonna make him a fool yourself. So

192
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.919
here's God's warning to talkers. God's
warning is this, you also have to

193
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.679
act, And he says you can't
just talk. You have to act on

194
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:43.519
what you say Proverbs fourteen twenty three. Get to work and you'll learn a

195
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:48.480
living. If you just sit around
talking, you'll be poor. Well that's

196
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.440
pretty good advice, you know.
He's saying here that you just got to

197
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:58.360
move ahead. Some people never get
past the discussion stage. They say,

198
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.120
well, what are you doing with
your life? Well on talking about doing

199
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.559
this? And how long I've been
talking about three years? Well, when

200
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.279
are you going to stop and start
doing well? I'm aiming to I'm aiming

201
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:15.080
how long you've been talking about it? A long time? You see some

202
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:16.399
of you. Let me ask you
a question. What is it that you've

203
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:22.559
been talking about doing it? Maybe
for weeks you've been talking about maybe for

204
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.759
months. Maybe you've been talking about
doing this for years and you've never done

205
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:33.720
it. You need to move ahead, do it. Don't just talk about

206
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:39.519
it. Do it now. Every
parent knows that sometimes it takes more than

207
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.840
words to make a point. Look
at the next verse. Sometimes mere words

208
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:50.879
are not enough. Discipline is needed, and so sometimes you have to say

209
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:54.360
words are not enough. I have
to act. Talk is just not enough.

210
00:15:54.759 --> 00:16:00.759
Now. One of the quickest ways
you can understand personality and is look

211
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.720
at music. We all like different
kinds of music. If they're five people

212
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.120
in your family, they like five
different kinds of music. Why because you've

213
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:11.120
got five different personalities. You see, God likes every kind of music in

214
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.799
the world. You don't, I
don't, but he does. That's why

215
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.519
he allows it to be created.
God was the creator of all of it,

216
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:25.200
and you don't like it because it
doesn't connect to your personality. But

217
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:29.519
even in worship, when we all
sing a song here, somebody go,

218
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:32.000
oh, that really spoke to me, and others didn't touch me at all.

219
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:36.279
Why it's a matter of personality.
Now. I know some of you

220
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:38.399
you like to come late to church
so you can skip the music. That

221
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:45.159
is a bad mistake for your heart. Your heart needs music. I actually

222
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:52.960
know a counselor a psychologist who when
people come to him for counseling when they're

223
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.919
depressed and they've got depression. The
first question he asked is do you sing

224
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.600
the songs in the church you go
to? And he said all the time.

225
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.160
I finally say no, and he
said, my first assignment to people

226
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.960
is depressed, is you sing every
song in your church for the next four

227
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:15.039
weeks and let's see what happens.
Why, because you need the emotional release

228
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:18.359
that comes from singing. You are
more than just a mind, You are

229
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:23.880
also a heart, and you need
to sing. Impression without expression leads to

230
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:30.440
depression. So you need to sing
in worship. You were wired to worship

231
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.880
in music, he said, But
I can't sing well. The Bible just

232
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:41.440
says, make a joyful noise.
Now, anybody can do that. Some

233
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.319
of you. I've heard you your
prison singers. You're always behind a few

234
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:49.160
bars and never have the right key. You couldn't carry a tune in a

235
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:53.319
baggie if you had to, And
your voice really needs to be cultivated.

236
00:17:53.319 --> 00:18:00.680
It's cloud under actually, but it
says it doesn't it be beautiful. It

237
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.039
says, make a joyful noise.
Even pigs do that when they're rooting around

238
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:10.680
for food. So you need for
your own emotional health, for your heart,

239
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:15.519
you need to sing these songs.
Now. The second kind is what

240
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:21.079
I call feelers. And feelers are
those who love God with their soul.

241
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:25.279
Now what does that mean? The
word soul in the Bible has used many

242
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:30.119
different ways, but most of the
time it's used as a synonym for emotions.

243
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.119
In fact, in the Book of
Psalms, it's almost always used as

244
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:40.160
a synonym for emotions. My soul
are my emotions? Now? The reason

245
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:44.720
you have emotions is because God made
you in his image. God is an

246
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:49.400
emotional God. God has feelings.
Did you know that God gets angry,

247
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:53.720
God gets happy, God gets sad. The reason why you have emotions is

248
00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:59.240
you were made in God's image,
and he gave you the ability to have

249
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:04.480
emotions that animals don't have all of
those different kinds, because humans have hundreds

250
00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:10.960
of different kinds of emotions, and
most of the time, soul means your

251
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:14.160
emotions. In the Book of Psalms, which, by the way, if

252
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:18.039
you are a soul type person,
you're a feeler. Psalms is your favorite

253
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:23.960
book of the Bible because every emotion
known to man is in that book.

254
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:30.799
And the Bible talks about a downcast
soul, a disturbed soul, a satisfied

255
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:36.279
soul, a yearning soul, troubled
and forlarned soul, a joyful soul.

256
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:40.640
It talks about a bitter soul,
a thirsty soul, a hungry soul,

257
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:45.279
a rejoicing soul, delighted soul,
longing soul. Can you hear the passion

258
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:52.319
in these words? Soul? People
feel their emotions. They're very in touch

259
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:57.359
with their emotions. Now, some
people they're not in touch with their emotions.

260
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:02.440
But people who are feelers talkers are
in touch with their words. They're

261
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:07.880
very verbal. But feelers are in
touch with their souls and they're very emotional.

262
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:11.960
In fact, they have a hard
time hiding their emotions. Often they

263
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.720
think they're doing a good job of
hiding it, but you can pretty much

264
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:21.119
tell a feeler because it shows in
their body language. But they're very passionate

265
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:26.759
people when it comes to worship to
loving God. They get passionate about that

266
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:30.680
once they understand the value of it. And the Bible says in So I'm

267
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:36.279
forty two, as the deer pants
for streams of water. Imagine, here's

268
00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:40.160
a deer who's been thirsty all day, dieing a thirst comes up to a

269
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:45.160
bubbling brook. It's panting for water. It's going I am so thirsty as

270
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:49.839
a deer pants for streams of water. So my soul pants for you.

271
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:56.000
Oh God, Now that verse was
written by a feeler. Okay, listen,

272
00:20:56.119 --> 00:21:00.079
I gotta if you like the song. This is the air I breathe.

273
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:07.000
I'm desperate for you. You're a
feeler, okay, a thinker standing

274
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:10.599
while they're singing this is the air
I breathing. I don't get it.

275
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:18.480
Of course we got air. Okay, it's a no brainer. Okay,

276
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.039
it's air. Okay, I don't
get it. And a feelers got their

277
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:23.720
eyes. Look, this is the
air I breathe. And they are so

278
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:30.599
into it. It's just different personalities. Okay. God doesn't expect everybody to

279
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:37.160
get into every single song. Well
that's okay, But we need feelers in

280
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:41.000
the world. Why do we need
feelers Because we need more than communication,

281
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.960
We need compassion. You may write
that down. The purpose of God putting

282
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:49.839
feelers in the world is because God
is a passionate, compassionate God, and

283
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:56.039
these people represent that part of God's
personality. And we need people in the

284
00:21:56.039 --> 00:22:03.920
world who deeply care and care deeply
about issues and care deeply about knowing God

285
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:08.119
and helping others, and can empathize
and sympathize with the pain and the problems

286
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:15.599
of others. A feeler is a
people person. They are the best people

287
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:19.720
persons of all because everybody likes them. Feelers are often very popular because they

288
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:26.000
can understand what you're going through.
You go up to you go up to

289
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:30.160
a talker and say, man,
I'm having a bad day. They'll give

290
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:34.839
you an hour of counseling. Okay. You you go up to a thinker.

291
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:38.519
Okay, you go up to a
thinker and say I'm having a bad

292
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:42.680
day. They'll analyze it for you. Okay. You go up to a

293
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:45.240
doer, say I'm having a bad
day, They'll say, get over it,

294
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:52.160
okay. But you go up to
a feeler and they'll go, I

295
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:55.960
understand where you're coming from. Been
there know that feeling? You go,

296
00:22:56.039 --> 00:23:00.160
oh yeah. And we like feelers
because we feel understood by them. We

297
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:06.319
relate, They understand this, and
we feel like somebody on this planet understands

298
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:10.640
how I'm feeling. And the Bible
says that all of us are to love

299
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:14.000
God all four ways, and we're
to manifest all four The Bible says to

300
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:21.160
the Ephesians four, this be kind
and compassionate to each other, tender hearted,

301
00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:26.680
forgiving one another, just as God
through Christ has forgiven you. So

302
00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:30.400
God says, oh, look,
I've been tenderhearted you, I've been kind

303
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:33.200
to you, I've been loving forgiving
you. I want you to do the

304
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:34.759
same with others. So we're all
to do that. Now. Are there

305
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:40.960
weaknesses in this personality? Yes,
Just like talkers can overtalk and never get

306
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:44.880
anything done, they can just talk
about it. Feelers. Here's the weakness

307
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:48.440
of feelers. They will be more
tempted by their feelings than the rest of

308
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:55.119
us. They're more tempted by emotions
than the rest of us. And if

309
00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:59.000
you're a feeler, you will have
a tendency to be manipulated by your moods,

310
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:02.440
and you will tend to say,
well, I want to do this

311
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:04.240
because I feel like it. I
don't want to do it because they don't

312
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:10.960
feel like it, and you can
be you can be controlled by an ocean

313
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:17.839
of emotion. Now, the problem
with that is feelings sometimes lie, and

314
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:21.160
just because you feel it doesn't mean
you can be discouraged to say that the

315
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:25.680
well, the world's going to hell
when it's not really, or you can

316
00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:29.000
say everything's bad in my life when
it's not really. But if you feel

317
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:33.440
that way, you think it's true. And so sometimes what you feel like

318
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:37.559
doing is not always the right thing. Everybody want to agree with that,

319
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:41.079
okay, And sometimes what you don't
feel like doing is the right thing.

320
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:48.200
And I found it The only time
I do something right is when I feel

321
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:52.920
like doing it. The devil makes
sure I never feel like it, okay,

322
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:56.200
in all of those areas, So
you know you're going to be tempted.

323
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.319
If you're a feeler, you're going
to be attempted in the areas of

324
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:03.599
emotions. It feels so good,
how could it be wrong? If loving

325
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.839
you is wrong. I don't want
to be right. That was written by

326
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:12.319
a feeler, Okay, and so
you just have to be aware. Now

327
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:18.839
everybody's tempted. Thinkers have their temptation. Doers have their temptation. Talkers have

328
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.079
their temptation. Feelers have their temptations. But nothing tempts you until it hooks

329
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:26.319
your emotion. If it doesn't get
you emotionally involved, you're not tempted.

330
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:29.880
You can look at something and go, I'm talking to tempt me. But

331
00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:40.599
once it he's into an emotion,
your hook. Thank you so much for

332
