00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:13.719
<v Speaker 2>about a fifteen minute show where we take something out

34
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>of the Bible and just give you a little morsel

35
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:18.879
<v Speaker 2>that you can carry throughout your day, week and month,

36
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.240
<v Speaker 2>or until the next time you hear the brand new

37
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 2>podcasts here on. Let's get biblical. Let's do that today.

38
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about a word that we don't like to hear. Discipline.

39
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Discipline is a word we don't like. We don't like

40
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:34.199
<v Speaker 2>to be disciplined at time. We don't like to be

41
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.000
<v Speaker 2>told what to do well let's pump the brakes on

42
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 2>what discipline really means. Are you disciplined in your relationship?

43
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:44.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to make it happy. Are you disciplined with

44
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 2>your friends? Do you live up to their expectations or

45
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:50.680
<v Speaker 2>maybe even yours? And what I mean by that is

46
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.439
<v Speaker 2>are you a really good friend to them? Are you disciplined?

47
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:59.039
<v Speaker 2>Maybe at your gym you show up on a Monday, Wednesday,

48
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Friday and you're getting that body into shape. Are you

49
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.520
<v Speaker 2>disciplined with your mind getting into different things like reading

50
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.680
<v Speaker 2>or playing games that really help your mind. Are you

51
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:13.080
<v Speaker 2>disciplined in your relationship? I paused on that one. I'll

52
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 2>say it again. Are you disciplined in your relationship? But

53
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:21.719
<v Speaker 2>are you really disciplined in your relationship with Christ? Now

54
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.439
<v Speaker 2>you may not have that relationship and you don't know

55
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 2>how to develop discipline just yet, And that's okay. Stick

56
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:31.319
<v Speaker 2>around you See, discipline with Christ is a tough one.

57
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.599
<v Speaker 2>I wake up in the morning and I'm told before

58
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.000
<v Speaker 2>my feet heat the ground, I should pray to the Lord.

59
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 1>Right.

60
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 2>We hear that as Christian followers, and sometimes we don't

61
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 2>do that because the alarm goes off. We jump into

62
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:48.120
<v Speaker 2>the shower, we brush our teeth. We go on to work.

63
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:50.840
<v Speaker 2>We barely have enough time to kiss our children, our

64
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.960
<v Speaker 2>wife as we go out the door. Ouch. Can you

65
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.199
<v Speaker 2>imagine how different your life would be, or that day

66
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:00.280
<v Speaker 2>would be, if you start it off with some than

67
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.560
<v Speaker 2>positive By the way, the cross looks like a positive

68
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.520
<v Speaker 2>symbol if you start off with Christ and say, Lord,

69
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 2>just thank you for wakening today. I don't know why

70
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:11.520
<v Speaker 2>you woke me. I don't know why I'm here, but

71
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.199
<v Speaker 2>thank you for a new breath and my lungs. Amen.

72
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 2>That's it. And then you jump into the shower, and

73
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.879
<v Speaker 2>that shower feels different when you brush your teeth, it's

74
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:23.040
<v Speaker 2>a little different. You go downstairs, you kiss the wife,

75
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 2>you hug the kids and say, hey, I don't have

76
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 2>a lot of time today, but let's make time for

77
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.360
<v Speaker 2>each time each other when I get home, and it's

78
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:34.480
<v Speaker 2>a different atmosphere, right, the power of positivity. Well, it's

79
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 2>funny how the cross is a positive symbol. So why

80
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.000
<v Speaker 2>not start our day that way and be disciplined with it.

81
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:44.639
<v Speaker 2>I know what you're saying, Oh Katie, we can't all

82
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.399
<v Speaker 2>be like you. You sound like you're holier than now.

83
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Time out, Time out. It's March madness. Well it's actually April.

84
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:55.800
<v Speaker 2>We just passed March madness. But I'm gonna call a

85
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:59.120
<v Speaker 2>t o here. Okay, I'm not really good when it

86
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.920
<v Speaker 2>comes to being dis blended God at times. Oh how

87
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 2>dare you, Katie? You know, you get on the air

88
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:07.600
<v Speaker 2>and you speak of God, and you read of the

89
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.839
<v Speaker 2>Bible and you pray with us, and how dare you? Listen?

90
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.800
<v Speaker 2>We have a phrase around here. It's not even our phrase.

91
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.360
<v Speaker 2>It's from the Book of Romans. We all stumble and

92
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.680
<v Speaker 2>fall short of the glory of God daily. And that's okay,

93
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 2>because we stumble so we can continue to come to Him.

94
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:26.279
<v Speaker 2>All right. Maybe in your day, you had a flat tire,

95
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you got to work late. Maybe your paycheck wasn't

96
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:32.240
<v Speaker 2>as much as you thought it was going to be.

97
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.120
<v Speaker 2>What's the first reaction you have? You're angry, You're upset?

98
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Why me? How about Lord? Thank you for keeping me safe.

99
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.040
<v Speaker 2>I got this flat tire because apparently there might have

100
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:46.639
<v Speaker 2>been an accident on the road up the road that

101
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.199
<v Speaker 2>I could have gotten into. You made me late to

102
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 2>work for a certain reason. Thank you for the less

103
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.079
<v Speaker 2>money in my paycheck, because I would have wasted on

104
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.879
<v Speaker 2>something that was useless anyway, if you change that mindset

105
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:00.800
<v Speaker 2>through Christ and be disciplined with Him, it's going to

106
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.240
<v Speaker 2>be a different light coming into your life. Well, I'm

107
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.639
<v Speaker 2>reading in this book called Disciplines of a Godly Man,

108
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:09.000
<v Speaker 2>and there's a great series right now, Disciplines of a

109
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Godly Woman, Disciplines of a Godly Family, so on and

110
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.000
<v Speaker 2>so forth. But there's some great antidotes and nuggets from

111
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:17.680
<v Speaker 2>this book that I'm reading. I want to share with

112
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:22.000
<v Speaker 2>you today, and I want to start with my own testimony.

113
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm not great with the discipline of Christ. I don't

114
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.720
<v Speaker 2>wake up every morning before my feet hit the ground

115
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.560
<v Speaker 2>and say God, thank you for another day. I may

116
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.519
<v Speaker 2>say it once I get up, go to the bathroom,

117
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.399
<v Speaker 2>brush my teeth, go down, maybe have a cup of coffee,

118
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:38.759
<v Speaker 2>say hello to my kids and family, and then I

119
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.560
<v Speaker 2>go have devoted time with him. Maybe you don't have

120
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot of time to devote, right, you're just bing

121
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.959
<v Speaker 2>bang booming out the doors. Well, listen while you're in

122
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.360
<v Speaker 2>the car, put on some worship music. Hey, don't put

123
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:52.079
<v Speaker 2>anything on at all before you put the key in

124
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:58.120
<v Speaker 2>the ignition. Lord, thank you for another breath. Allow me

125
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.399
<v Speaker 2>to have a good day. Allow me all. I want

126
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:04.879
<v Speaker 2>to honor you throughout that day. Amen. That's simple. If

127
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:08.279
<v Speaker 2>we did this every day and we're disciplined, that light

128
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.800
<v Speaker 2>comes right into our life and then people are saying, hey,

129
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:14.199
<v Speaker 2>there's something different about you, and then God will bring

130
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.920
<v Speaker 2>blessings upon us. Now keep in mind, we don't do

131
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.560
<v Speaker 2>these things to get things. We give back to God

132
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:23.879
<v Speaker 2>because what He's already done so much for us by

133
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.480
<v Speaker 2>dying on the cross, giving his only begotten son, Jesus Christ.

134
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.040
<v Speaker 2>You see, what if that was your friend, what if

135
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.439
<v Speaker 2>that was your mother, father, child that was on that cross,

136
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:38.519
<v Speaker 2>You think a little differently about that person giving their

137
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:42.240
<v Speaker 2>life for you, right, will start changing your outlook on

138
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:46.839
<v Speaker 2>life and realizing this person was sin to take away

139
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:51.120
<v Speaker 2>your sins by being nailed to the cross. I do

140
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:54.000
<v Speaker 2>that daily and things are different for me in the morning.

141
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 2>But like I said, there's some days I don't always

142
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:04.639
<v Speaker 2>get disciplined. Happened to me the other day. I came downstairs,

143
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:07.800
<v Speaker 2>I was getting ready to get my coffee, gave my

144
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.000
<v Speaker 2>wife a kiss. She had a lot of things going

145
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:13.399
<v Speaker 2>on in her life, chaotic life at the moment, and

146
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.040
<v Speaker 2>our business is just booming. So she had a lot

147
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:17.759
<v Speaker 2>to do with that. We're trying to get the kids

148
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:21.800
<v Speaker 2>ready and I come down and I said, yeah, I'm

149
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:24.959
<v Speaker 2>going to go take a bath and I'm going to

150
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.560
<v Speaker 2>start my day and if there's anything you need, let

151
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.959
<v Speaker 2>me know. And she jumped right on me. And that's

152
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.320
<v Speaker 2>because it looked like I was inconsiderate to her, right,

153
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.919
<v Speaker 2>which I was. But if I had gotten up and

154
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:42.039
<v Speaker 2>started my day a different way, that atmosphere would have changed.

155
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:47.559
<v Speaker 2>And so she went to work with an attitude. I

156
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:49.440
<v Speaker 2>started to have an attitude. I kind of barked at

157
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.960
<v Speaker 2>the kids a little bit, but then when the dust settled,

158
00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:56.000
<v Speaker 2>the smoke cleared, I sat down for ten minutes. And

159
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.320
<v Speaker 2>this was on a Sunday before we went to church.

160
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:02.240
<v Speaker 2>I sat down, I open up the Bible, and God's

161
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:05.559
<v Speaker 2>amazing because he led me to a section in Luke

162
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:09.879
<v Speaker 2>where Mary is singing praises to the Lord and the

163
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:12.720
<v Speaker 2>word grace popped out to me and He's telling me,

164
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.559
<v Speaker 2>you need to show your wife grace, show your kids

165
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.639
<v Speaker 2>a little more grace. And when I prayed to him

166
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.799
<v Speaker 2>and I did that, atmosphere changed. Going to church was different,

167
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:25.039
<v Speaker 2>The rest of the day was different. Things were better

168
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:29.200
<v Speaker 2>for her. It was amazing because I remained disciplined. Now

169
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:34.360
<v Speaker 2>you can remain disciplined working out your job, maybe disciplined

170
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:36.679
<v Speaker 2>with your kids and wife. Why can't you be disciplined

171
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:42.080
<v Speaker 2>with God? You see? Even Michael Jordan stumbled, Thomas Edison stumbled,

172
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:44.919
<v Speaker 2>but they remained disciplined in what they did and became

173
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:49.960
<v Speaker 2>great in their respective fields. What does the Bible say

174
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:50.240
<v Speaker 2>about it?

175
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:50.799
<v Speaker 1>Katie?

176
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:54.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, first Timody, I call him first Timody. You know,

177
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Timothy krocket. I'm kidding. See, I stumbled. I fell short

178
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:03.720
<v Speaker 2>of the glory of God. One Timothy four, verse seven says,

179
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:10.679
<v Speaker 2>train yourself for Godliness. Yes, train yourselves, exercise, work out?

180
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:14.559
<v Speaker 2>How do you do this? Opening the Bible, reading, praying,

181
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:18.159
<v Speaker 2>train yourself, go to small groups. Get into a church

182
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.720
<v Speaker 2>that has some cool groups you can go attend. I

183
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:23.879
<v Speaker 2>have a men's group right now where we do different

184
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:27.399
<v Speaker 2>activities every two weeks together and share life together. I

185
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.759
<v Speaker 2>know that sounds corny to you non believers. It's okay,

186
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:33.480
<v Speaker 2>But guess what, it's not corny because what we're doing

187
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:36.559
<v Speaker 2>is we're training ourselves for Godliness. And when we do that,

188
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:40.120
<v Speaker 2>we're able to discipline ourselves and dig deeper into Christ,

189
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.919
<v Speaker 2>and the whole purpose of this all is to build

190
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:53.279
<v Speaker 2>a bigger, deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. Now, in this

191
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:57.440
<v Speaker 2>book Disciplines for Godliness, it says the call to train

192
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:01.639
<v Speaker 2>ourselves for godliness also suggests directing all of our energy

193
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.879
<v Speaker 2>toward that goal. That's what you do, right, You direct

194
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:07.399
<v Speaker 2>yourself toward a goal. You say, Yep, I'm going to

195
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.519
<v Speaker 2>work out. I'm going to get those glutes ready. I'm

196
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:11.960
<v Speaker 2>going to get this ready. I want to look good here.

197
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.360
<v Speaker 2>I want to get into that dress. I want to

198
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:20.120
<v Speaker 2>get into that swimsuit. And you direct yourself toward that goal.

199
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Could you imagine if you direct yourself toward God every

200
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:24.919
<v Speaker 2>day by getting into the Bible and praying and reading

201
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:30.120
<v Speaker 2>and getting into church. Woo, your world just is blown

202
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:33.960
<v Speaker 2>away with amazingness that is brought to you in part

203
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:38.360
<v Speaker 2>by our Lord Jesus Christ. It's amazing. It goes on

204
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:42.240
<v Speaker 2>to say as well in First Corinthians Chapter nine, Versus

205
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:45.919
<v Speaker 2>twenty five through twenty seven, it says, I discipline my

206
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:50.519
<v Speaker 2>body and keep it under control. You see what we've

207
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.120
<v Speaker 2>got to develop now, guys, is a spiritual sweat. This

208
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.080
<v Speaker 2>is what they say. I love this. In the book

209
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:00.679
<v Speaker 2>Spiritual Sweat. You gross. I thought the Holy Spool Spirit

210
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.960
<v Speaker 2>was just spirit. Well, you can have Holy Spirit or

211
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.480
<v Speaker 2>that stinky teen spirit, as Nirvana used to say, That's

212
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:09.720
<v Speaker 2>what I like to say, But I'd rather have that

213
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:14.519
<v Speaker 2>spiritual sweat. And we must get rid of every incumbents

214
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:20.919
<v Speaker 2>in every association, habit and tendency that impedes Godliness. We

215
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:23.399
<v Speaker 2>need to get rid of this so we can replace

216
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:27.600
<v Speaker 2>it with good things. Right, watch things that are weighing

217
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:32.120
<v Speaker 2>you down. Basically, what's weighing you down is TV taking

218
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:35.799
<v Speaker 2>away from you, is your hobbies taking away from you. Now,

219
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:38.919
<v Speaker 2>there's nothing wrong with having hobbies, but when you're devoting

220
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:41.480
<v Speaker 2>more time to that when you could be giving it

221
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:45.519
<v Speaker 2>to God, that's taking you away from that. But we've

222
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.519
<v Speaker 2>got to develop that spiritual sweat like you develop sweat

223
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:53.039
<v Speaker 2>in the gym. This will bring you discipline for Godliness.

224
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.480
<v Speaker 2>And this is an amazing feeling because you're able then

225
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:01.080
<v Speaker 2>to share it with others. That light is being shined

226
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:04.360
<v Speaker 2>in your life and you start to see doors open

227
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:08.159
<v Speaker 2>that have never opened before. So today, what I say

228
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:12.200
<v Speaker 2>to you is get in discipline with Christ, whether it's

229
00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:14.000
<v Speaker 2>waking up in the morning for the first time ever

230
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:17.159
<v Speaker 2>and saying, Lord, thank you for waking me up. First

231
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:20.399
<v Speaker 2>time turning on kay Love in your car or a truck,

232
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:23.480
<v Speaker 2>first time going to church, first time opening a Bible,

233
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Develop that spiritual sweat today, develop that spiritual discipline for Godliness,

234
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.080
<v Speaker 2>and watch your world just come together. It's an amazing feeling.

235
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:38.200
<v Speaker 2>And I want you guys to feel the same way

236
00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:43.279
<v Speaker 2>that I do. Every time I see somebody struggling, I

237
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:48.679
<v Speaker 2>realize that they're not near God because I know when

238
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:56.320
<v Speaker 2>I stumble or I'm not disciplined, I I'm furthest from God.

239
00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you've never met God, maybe you've never known God,

240
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.879
<v Speaker 2>and this is your opportunity to know him. All I'm

241
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:05.840
<v Speaker 2>asking right now, if you want to get to know

242
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:10.000
<v Speaker 2>God right now, just close your eyes, open up your poems,

243
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:13.679
<v Speaker 2>and repeat after me. It's nothing crazy. But if you're

244
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.399
<v Speaker 2>looking for a change in your life today, to develop

245
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:19.639
<v Speaker 2>discipline in a relationship with Him so it can overflow

246
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:22.120
<v Speaker 2>to others and overflow in your life, this is your

247
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:27.120
<v Speaker 2>moment and repeat, Dear God, I come to you in

248
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:31.679
<v Speaker 2>the precious name of Jesus. I thank you for another day.

249
00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:35.639
<v Speaker 2>I didn't really believe in you, but now I believe

250
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:40.279
<v Speaker 2>in you. I believe that you were a man, that

251
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:45.000
<v Speaker 2>you rose, and that you died for our sins. Dear Lord,

252
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.399
<v Speaker 2>I ask for you to come into my life and

253
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:53.960
<v Speaker 2>make me yours. Dear Lord, allow me to have you

254
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:58.159
<v Speaker 2>as my personal Lord and savior. Take over my life

255
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:03.000
<v Speaker 2>and make me new weekend, Dear Lord, I love you.

256
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I need you. Please lead and cultivate my life, and

257
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:13.919
<v Speaker 2>I pray it depression name of Jesus. Amen, Well, welcome,

258
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:16.600

259
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:21.360

260
00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:26.960
<v Speaker 2>the New Testament. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John develop a

261
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:30.879
<v Speaker 2>personal relation to today, to the form of prayer and reading.

262
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Find a good church, find a good group of people.

263
00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Change your life, develop spiritual sweat out of kind of

264
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:45.240
<v Speaker 2>discipling your life toward God. It's amazing. And also go
