- 00:01:43.716 --> 00:01:46.386
- Creflo: Now, this whole deal isabout emotions and the fact that
- 00:01:48.721 --> 00:01:52.559
- you are in chargeof your emotions.
- 00:01:52.592 --> 00:01:55.361
- Say out loud, "I am incharge of my emotions."
- 00:01:55.395 --> 00:01:58.998
- Turn to your neighbor and say,
- 00:01:59.032 --> 00:02:00.333
- "You are accountablefor how you feel."
- 00:02:00.366 --> 00:02:04.470
- Now, when I grew up in thechurch nobody told me I was
- 00:02:04.504 --> 00:02:07.340
- accountable for how I feel.
- 00:02:07.373 --> 00:02:08.741
- In fact, when the feelings came,
- 00:02:08.775 --> 00:02:10.276
- I thought I just hadto flow with it.
- 00:02:10.310 --> 00:02:12.045
- I can remember saying, "Ican't help I feel like this."
- 00:02:12.078 --> 00:02:16.616
- And that is thebiggest deception.
- 00:02:16.649 --> 00:02:18.151
- That is what Satanwants you to think.
- 00:02:18.184 --> 00:02:20.653
- He wants to deceive you to thepoint where you experience these
- 00:02:20.687 --> 00:02:24.023
- negative emotions, and youthink,
- 00:02:24.057 --> 00:02:26.826
- "There's nothing Ican do about it."
- 00:02:26.859 --> 00:02:28.728
- And so, we've defined emotionsas feelings on the inside caused
- 00:02:28.761 --> 00:02:32.498
- by pain or pleasure tomove you in a direction.
- 00:02:32.532 --> 00:02:36.769
- Now, we're not teachingyou to become emotionless.
- 00:02:36.803 --> 00:02:40.206
- God gave you emotions, but,unfortunately, sometimes those
- 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.976
- negative emotions have you, andhe wants you to have emotions
- 00:02:43.009 --> 00:02:46.980
- and not allow thoseemotions to have you.
- 00:02:47.013 --> 00:02:49.048
- So, what happens there aregodly emotions that can move you
- 00:02:49.082 --> 00:02:52.318
- closer to the will of God foryour life, and then there are
- 00:02:52.352 --> 00:02:56.356
- negative emotions that aredesigned to move you away from
- 00:02:56.389 --> 00:02:59.158
- the will of God for your life.
- 00:02:59.192 --> 00:03:01.361
- You've got to be a person whounderstands that self-control
- 00:03:01.394 --> 00:03:04.464
- is a gift from God.
- 00:03:04.497 --> 00:03:06.132
- Somebody says, "Isself-control in the Bible?"
- 00:03:06.165 --> 00:03:07.934
- Yeah, it's under theheading of meekness.
- 00:03:07.967 --> 00:03:10.403
- Self-control is a gift from Godthat will lead you in the path
- 00:03:10.436 --> 00:03:17.477
- and to the destiny of thedesigned purpose for your life.
- 00:03:17.510 --> 00:03:21.614
- But when you're out of controland you don't know how to
- 00:03:21.648 --> 00:03:25.251
- control how you feel--somebodysent a question this week that
- 00:03:25.285 --> 00:03:29.455
- says, "Well, what about anger?
- 00:03:29.489 --> 00:03:31.591
- Jesus got angry."
- 00:03:31.624 --> 00:03:33.226
- We're not teaching that you're
- 00:03:33.259 --> 00:03:34.560
- not gonna experiencenegative emotions.
- 00:03:34.594 --> 00:03:36.896
- We're trying to show you how toharness those negative emotions
- 00:03:36.929 --> 00:03:39.799
- when they show up.
- 00:03:39.832 --> 00:03:41.301
- We're trying to show you howto take authority over those
- 00:03:41.334 --> 00:03:43.970
- negative emotionswhen they show up.
- 00:03:44.003 --> 00:03:46.039
- We're not saying that youwon't have negative emotions.
- 00:03:46.072 --> 00:03:48.308
- In fact, I'm telling you,
- 00:03:48.341 --> 00:03:49.709
- you are gonna have somenegative emotions.
- 00:03:49.742 --> 00:03:51.644
- The problem has been when thosenegative emotions show up they
- 00:03:51.678 --> 00:03:54.681
- control you, insteadof you controlling it.
- 00:03:54.714 --> 00:03:58.051
- The problem is, is when theanger shows up you allow it to
- 00:03:58.084 --> 00:04:00.753
- move you to the next levelof destruction for your life,
- 00:04:00.787 --> 00:04:03.790
- instead of you taking authorityover the anger and saying, "No,
- 00:04:03.823 --> 00:04:06.793
- I'll not move you."
- 00:04:06.826 --> 00:04:08.127
- Jesus didn't allow the angerto cause him to miss the cross.
- 00:04:08.161 --> 00:04:12.832
- He turned a couple of tablesover, but it didn't cause him to
- 00:04:12.865 --> 00:04:15.568
- miss the cross, and so I'mtrying to show you, as Christian
- 00:04:15.601 --> 00:04:19.339
- people, you know, don't take
- 00:04:19.372 --> 00:04:21.741
- this too far tothe right, too far.
- 00:04:21.774 --> 00:04:23.343
- Find the middle road on this.
- 00:04:23.376 --> 00:04:25.178
- Yes, you're gonna have godlyemotions, and you're gonna have
- 00:04:25.211 --> 00:04:27.780
- some negative emotions, but hewants you to know that you can
- 00:04:27.814 --> 00:04:30.850
- be in charge of your emotions.
- 00:04:30.883 --> 00:04:33.953
- If they're negative theydon't have to control your life.
- 00:04:33.986 --> 00:04:36.789
- So, what's happened inthe lives of most people?
- 00:04:36.823 --> 00:04:39.258
- They experience a situation,triggers a negative emotion, and
- 00:04:39.292 --> 00:04:42.528
- they allow the negative emotionsto take them away from the will
- 00:04:42.562 --> 00:04:45.965
- of God and put 'em in a placethey don't wanna be, because all
- 00:04:45.998 --> 00:04:50.336
- their lives they've beentrained,
- 00:04:50.370 --> 00:04:51.804
- "You can't help how you feel.
- 00:04:51.838 --> 00:04:54.240
- You can't controlyour emotions."
- 00:04:54.273 --> 00:04:56.376
- And you've seen in the Word ofGod, hopefully, over this last
- 00:04:56.409 --> 00:04:58.845
- month, "Oh, yes, I can."
- 00:04:58.878 --> 00:05:01.114
- And you're gonna find out alittle later on in your life
- 00:05:01.147 --> 00:05:04.350
- that "man, this reallydoes make a big difference."
- 00:05:04.384 --> 00:05:07.153
- You work on this.You meditate on this.
- 00:05:07.186 --> 00:05:09.822
- You saturate yourself inthese teachings and sermons.
- 00:05:09.856 --> 00:05:12.392
- You'll find that certain peoplethat used to do things to you
- 00:05:12.425 --> 00:05:15.828
- five months ago, it don't evenmove you no more, because it's
- 00:05:15.862 --> 00:05:18.531
- like, "Well, I am incontrol of my emotions."
- 00:05:18.564 --> 00:05:20.967
- I'm not gonna get upset.
- 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.236
- And if you do get upset you'relike, "I'm not gonna stay upset.
- 00:05:23.269 --> 00:05:26.506
- I'm not gonna do this."
- 00:05:26.539 --> 00:05:28.174
- And that's why I'm trying toshow you--I'm not trying to
- 00:05:28.207 --> 00:05:30.076
- teach these negativethings won't happen.
- 00:05:30.109 --> 00:05:32.011
- I'm just trying to teach you,you now know how to respond
- 00:05:32.044 --> 00:05:35.915
- and--to those negativeemotions that come.
- 00:05:35.948 --> 00:05:38.451
- You know how to go after them,instead of allowing them to
- 00:05:38.484 --> 00:05:42.054
- destroy your life, amen?
- 00:05:42.088 --> 00:05:44.056
- So, emotion is feelings on theinside designed to move you,
- 00:05:44.090 --> 00:05:47.660
- caused by pain or pleasure,to move you in a direction.
- 00:05:47.693 --> 00:05:50.830
- And we know the direction: awayfrom the will of God,
- 00:05:50.863 --> 00:05:53.299
- if they are negative.
- 00:05:53.332 --> 00:05:54.634
- Godly emotions go towards thewill of God, if they're godly.
- 00:05:54.667 --> 00:05:59.305
- And so, what happens is now wehave taken authority over those
- 00:05:59.338 --> 00:06:03.910
- emotions and now we're dealingwith the emotion of depression.
- 00:06:03.943 --> 00:06:09.916
- So now, how have wedefined depression?
- 00:06:09.949 --> 00:06:13.786
- Depression, they're feelingsthat are caused by thoughts that
- 00:06:13.820 --> 00:06:21.727
- weigh heavily upon your heart.
- 00:06:21.761 --> 00:06:25.097
- In fact, I think one of ourlessons we went over there are
- 00:06:25.131 --> 00:06:27.934
- some things, feelings, thatcome from thinking thoughts
- 00:06:27.967 --> 00:06:30.636
- that weigh you down.
- 00:06:30.670 --> 00:06:33.072
- Feelings that come from thinkingthoughts that weigh you down.
- 00:06:33.105 --> 00:06:38.744
- I'd like to ask thequestion before we begin.
- 00:06:38.778 --> 00:06:40.346
- What are you thinking about?
- 00:06:40.379 --> 00:06:41.681
- Have you been carrying thoughts
- 00:06:41.714 --> 00:06:43.950
- all day long that areweighing you down?
- 00:06:43.983 --> 00:06:46.352
- You know that.
- 00:06:46.385 --> 00:06:47.787
- I may not know that.
- 00:06:47.820 --> 00:06:49.155
- You may have come in here thismorning or today with thoughts
- 00:06:49.188 --> 00:06:51.757
- that weigh you down, so howlong are you gonna allow those
- 00:06:51.791 --> 00:06:56.395
- thoughts to continueworking on weighing you down?
- 00:06:56.429 --> 00:07:02.268
- You can't change how you feelbecause those thoughts that are
- 00:07:02.301 --> 00:07:05.671
- weighing you down areresponsible
- 00:07:05.705 --> 00:07:08.007
- for those feelingsof depression.
- 00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:10.409
- Depression, it's a way ofthinking thoughts that weigh you
- 00:07:10.443 --> 00:07:14.213
- down and eventually gets intoyour heart,
- 00:07:14.247 --> 00:07:17.083
- and so you haveauthority over that.
- 00:07:17.116 --> 00:07:19.352
- Most people say, "Well, Ican't help I'm depressed."
- 00:07:19.385 --> 00:07:21.387
- And because they don't know howto handle depression, they seek
- 00:07:21.420 --> 00:07:24.690
- out the help of a therapist,they seek out the help of a
- 00:07:24.724 --> 00:07:27.126
- doctor, and in some casesthey seek out the help of
- 00:07:27.159 --> 00:07:29.629
- medications, 'cause theydon't know how to handle it.
- 00:07:29.662 --> 00:07:33.466
- And I'm notagainst those things.
- 00:07:33.499 --> 00:07:35.167
- I used to be a therapist.
- 00:07:35.201 --> 00:07:36.502
- I'm not against those thingsif--but I have to warn you there
- 00:07:36.536 --> 00:07:40.773
- is a difference in learning howto manage depression
- 00:07:40.806 --> 00:07:44.911
- and being free from it.
- 00:07:44.944 --> 00:07:47.346
- And Jesus has alreadyredeemed you from depression.
- 00:07:47.380 --> 00:07:51.651
- And if you can learn how to tapinto what he's already done, you
- 00:07:51.684 --> 00:07:55.454
- don't have to go and pay moneyto learn how to manage it, okay?
- 00:07:55.488 --> 00:08:00.159
- And so, it's important that youunderstand the difference here
- 00:08:00.192 --> 00:08:04.997
- and the way you dealwith your feelings.
- 00:08:05.031 --> 00:08:06.966
- Depression is a feeling, andit's painful, and it hurts.
- 00:08:06.999 --> 00:08:10.703
- I shared with you mytestimony last week.
- 00:08:10.736 --> 00:08:12.705
- It's painful, it's hurtful,and if it's chronic,
- 00:08:12.738 --> 00:08:16.842
- I mean, it feels painful.
- 00:08:16.876 --> 00:08:19.579
- And one of the things you--Iwant you to understand and I
- 00:08:19.612 --> 00:08:22.181
- wanted you to understand it, myjourney, so that, you know, I
- 00:08:22.214 --> 00:08:25.585
- didn't want you thinking you'rejust listening to some guy who
- 00:08:25.618 --> 00:08:27.486
- don't know what he's talkingabout, read some book, and came
- 00:08:27.520 --> 00:08:29.188
- out here and tried tobe therapeutic with you.
- 00:08:29.221 --> 00:08:30.723
- No, this is what I've gonethrough and come out of, and I
- 00:08:30.756 --> 00:08:33.459
- know it's possible, but the keyis you're gonna have to expose
- 00:08:33.492 --> 00:08:37.330
- yourself to the Word of God.
- 00:08:37.363 --> 00:08:39.198
- See, that's the difference.
- 00:08:39.231 --> 00:08:40.766
- We have something that theunsaved world doesn't have: the
- 00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:45.004
- Word of God and ourfaith in the Word of God.
- 00:08:45.037 --> 00:08:48.507
- And when you expose yourself tothe Word of God and, watch this,
- 00:08:48.541 --> 00:08:51.611
- and you become saturated withthat Word, there's something
- 00:08:51.644 --> 00:08:56.849
- that happens in your life
- 00:08:56.882 --> 00:08:58.351
- because you'vesaturated your thinking.
- 00:08:58.384 --> 00:09:02.221
- If you wanna change how youfeel, you change how you think.
- 00:09:02.254 --> 00:09:05.758
- You wanna dealwith how you feel,
- 00:09:05.791 --> 00:09:07.093
- you gotta dealwith how you think.
- 00:09:07.126 --> 00:09:08.728
- You wanna deal with how youthink, you gotta deal with what
- 00:09:08.761 --> 00:09:10.596
- you're exposing yourself to.
- 00:09:10.630 --> 00:09:13.599
- See, you're saturatedwith something.
- 00:09:13.633 --> 00:09:16.569
- I don't know what it is, soI'm saying you might as well be
- 00:09:16.602 --> 00:09:18.671
- saturated with the Word.
- 00:09:18.704 --> 00:09:20.072
- I was spending some time in myclosing Bible study last night.
- 00:09:20.106 --> 00:09:24.510
- Well, I like to go to bed with aScripture on my mind, and I was
- 00:09:24.543 --> 00:09:27.713
- looking at the book of Luke 17when it talks about the kingdom
- 00:09:27.747 --> 00:09:30.383
- of God is within a man.
- 00:09:30.416 --> 00:09:33.085
- And I'm working on reallybreaking that down because
- 00:09:33.119 --> 00:09:35.287
- there's a lot of things that
- 00:09:35.321 --> 00:09:36.822
- need to be understoodabout that.
- 00:09:36.856 --> 00:09:39.225
- And one of the things Irealized is that "wait a minute.
- 00:09:39.258 --> 00:09:42.395
- When--" how many of you haveever experienced not enough?
- 00:09:42.428 --> 00:09:45.898
- You know, not enough to pay yourbills, not enough to do this.
- 00:09:45.931 --> 00:09:48.768
- And somebody says,"Are you kidding?
- 00:09:48.801 --> 00:09:50.803
- Everybody in here has."
- 00:09:50.836 --> 00:09:52.438
- All right, so on the outside thecircumstance is not enough, but
- 00:09:52.471 --> 00:09:58.911
- in the kingdom it's plenty.
- 00:09:58.944 --> 00:10:02.181
- In the kingdom it'splenty, so here is the deal.
- 00:10:02.214 --> 00:10:06.886
- If when you see not enough onthe outside but your conscious
- 00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:13.492
- mind is focused on the plentythat you have in the kingdom,
- 00:10:13.526 --> 00:10:20.433
- then eventually the lack on theoutside is gonna be dominated
- 00:10:20.466 --> 00:10:24.336
- with a saturated conscience on
- 00:10:24.370 --> 00:10:26.772
- the plenty that's inthe kingdom of God.
- 00:10:26.806 --> 00:10:28.774
- Does that make sense?
- 00:10:28.808 --> 00:10:30.643
- So, as goes yourthinking, so goes your feeling.
- 00:10:30.676 --> 00:10:37.349
- "As a man thinketh inhis heart, so is he."
- 00:10:37.383 --> 00:10:40.953
- As he thinketh, sois he in his heart.
- 00:10:40.986 --> 00:10:44.924
- I've said it a whole bunch oftimes, but I gotta say it again.
- 00:10:44.957 --> 00:10:48.494
- What are you spending themost time thinking about?
- 00:10:48.527 --> 00:10:52.398
- That's what you'regonna be feeling.
- 00:10:52.431 --> 00:10:55.201
- As goes your soul,so goes your life.
- 00:10:55.234 --> 00:10:58.971
- As goes yourthinking, so goes your life.
- 00:10:59.004 --> 00:11:02.241
- If your thinking is saturatedwith that thing you've been
- 00:11:02.274 --> 00:11:05.878
- exposed to, which is negative,and the negative exposure
- 00:11:05.911 --> 00:11:09.248
- produces negative thinking.
- 00:11:09.281 --> 00:11:11.083
- And then, these are feelings,these are thoughts that are just
- 00:11:11.117 --> 00:11:13.919
- remaining, and you're saturatingyourself in that thing over and
- 00:11:13.953 --> 00:11:16.722
- over and over again.
- 00:11:16.756 --> 00:11:18.124
- Then on the inside yourconsciousness is saturated with
- 00:11:18.157 --> 00:11:22.495
- the negative thinking.
- 00:11:22.528 --> 00:11:23.996
- It's gonna produce--it'sgonna produce bad depression.
- 00:11:24.029 --> 00:11:28.868
- How do you deal with it?
- 00:11:28.901 --> 00:11:31.070
- You change what you'reexposing yourself to.
- 00:11:31.103 --> 00:11:34.106
- I'm not gonna expose myself tothe thing that produces that
- 00:11:34.140 --> 00:11:36.776
- negative thought.
- 00:11:36.809 --> 00:11:38.377
- And then, once you change thatyou're gonna change the way you
- 00:11:38.410 --> 00:11:40.613
- think and once you changethe way you think you're gonna
- 00:11:40.646 --> 00:11:42.948
- change the you feel.
- 00:11:42.982 --> 00:11:44.650
- Then, you're gonna change thedecisions you make, the actions
- 00:11:44.683 --> 00:11:46.952
- you take, the habits you create.
- 00:11:46.986 --> 00:11:49.121
- You're gonna change yourcharacter, and then you'll
- 00:11:49.155 --> 00:11:50.956
- ultimately change yourdestination, because you know
- 00:11:50.990 --> 00:11:54.326
- where to go and what toattack when you feel depressed.
- 00:11:54.360 --> 00:12:00.266
- It's external things beinginternalized, that eventually
- 00:12:00.299 --> 00:12:06.038
- gets into your heart, and itbegins to weigh you down, but
- 00:12:06.071 --> 00:12:10.576
- you cannot deal with depression
- 00:12:10.609 --> 00:12:12.578
- if you don't deal withthe way you think.
- 00:12:12.611 --> 00:12:15.381
- And you cannot deal with the wayyou think if you don't deal what
- 00:12:15.414 --> 00:12:17.983
- you're exposing yourself to,so this is what I'm saying.
- 00:12:18.017 --> 00:12:20.920
- Expose yourself to theWord, 'cause it's gonna produce
- 00:12:20.953 --> 00:12:24.824
- amazing thought life and the
- 00:12:24.857 --> 00:12:27.660
- thought life is gonna producegreat feelings.
- 00:12:27.693 --> 00:12:30.629
- You're gonna feel good even inthe midst of a bad situation
- 00:12:30.663 --> 00:12:32.865
- because you've chosen tosaturate your thinking with
- 00:12:32.898 --> 00:12:36.502
- the Word of God.
- 00:12:36.535 --> 00:12:37.837
- What does the Bible say?
- 00:12:37.870 --> 00:12:39.171
- Meditate in the Word--that'ssaturation, ain't it?--day and
- 00:12:39.205 --> 00:12:43.375
- night, or all the time.
- 00:12:43.409 --> 00:12:45.110
- He says when you do that youwill, watch this, make your way
- 00:12:45.144 --> 00:12:48.914
- prosperous, andyou'll have good success.
- 00:12:48.948 --> 00:12:51.984
- Another version says you'll deal
- 00:12:52.017 --> 00:12:53.385
- wisely in the affairsof this world.
- 00:12:53.419 --> 00:12:55.888
- So, while they're trying tofigure life out, you're taking
- 00:12:55.921 --> 00:12:58.791
- authority and mastering life sothat life won't ever master you.
- 00:12:58.824 --> 00:13:03.929
- If you understand whatI just said say amen.
- 00:13:03.963 --> 00:13:06.498
- All right, so let's get startedhere in Mark 14, verse 33
- 00:13:06.532 --> 00:13:10.069
- in the Amplified.
- 00:13:10.102 --> 00:13:11.403
- Let's read it in the Amplified,guys, because I want people to
- 00:13:11.437 --> 00:13:13.339
- see--when the Bible saysthat Jesus was touched with the
- 00:13:13.372 --> 00:13:16.609
- feelings of our infirmities, Iwant you to see that here is
- 00:13:16.642 --> 00:13:21.847
- Jesus in theGarden of Gethsemane.
- 00:13:21.881 --> 00:13:24.583
- He's getting ready to take on
- 00:13:24.617 --> 00:13:25.951
- the sins of every humanthat's ever born.
- 00:13:25.985 --> 00:13:28.821
- He's gonna go to hell anddie for all of mankind.
- 00:13:28.854 --> 00:13:32.391
- He's gonna be crucified ona cross, dead and buried.
- 00:13:32.424 --> 00:13:36.328
- He's gonna be whippedwith a cat-o'-nine-tails.
- 00:13:36.362 --> 00:13:39.298
- Body gonna be beat so bad it's
- 00:13:39.331 --> 00:13:41.467
- gonna look likeraw hamburger meat.
- 00:13:41.500 --> 00:13:43.669
- His form is not even gonnalook like a man when they're
- 00:13:43.702 --> 00:13:46.839
- finished, and thesethoughts came by.
- 00:13:46.872 --> 00:13:51.043
- He knew what happened.
- 00:13:51.076 --> 00:13:52.444
- He knew what was gonna happen
- 00:13:52.478 --> 00:13:54.079
- and look what he says herein this situation.
- 00:13:54.113 --> 00:13:56.215
- Verse 33, "And he took him Peterand James and John, and began to
- 00:13:56.248 --> 00:14:00.119
- be struck with terror and
- 00:14:00.152 --> 00:14:01.754
- amazement and deeplytroubled and," what?
- 00:14:01.787 --> 00:14:04.623
- "Depressed."
- 00:14:04.657 --> 00:14:06.625
- So, he knows about it.
- 00:14:06.659 --> 00:14:08.761
- And then, he says, "And he saidto them, My soul--" the soul.
- 00:14:08.794 --> 00:14:12.464
- That's where your emotions are.
- 00:14:12.498 --> 00:14:14.199
- "My soul is exceedingly sad(overwhelmed with grief)
- 00:14:14.233 --> 00:14:18.037
- so that it almost kills me!
- 00:14:18.070 --> 00:14:20.439
- Remain here and keepawake and be watching."
- 00:14:20.472 --> 00:14:23.876
- But then, he tellsus a little advice.
- 00:14:23.909 --> 00:14:25.577
- What do you do ifyou ever face this?
- 00:14:25.611 --> 00:14:27.980
- And we're going to talk aboutthis either this weekend
- 00:14:28.013 --> 00:14:30.416
- or next week.
- 00:14:30.449 --> 00:14:32.084
- He said go--keepgoing a little farther.
- 00:14:32.117 --> 00:14:35.020
- In other words, don't stop goingtowards the destiny that has
- 00:14:35.054 --> 00:14:40.459
- been revealed to you.
- 00:14:40.492 --> 00:14:41.794
- If you know what you're doingis the right thing,
- 00:14:41.827 --> 00:14:43.929
- keep going a little farther.
- 00:14:43.963 --> 00:14:45.564
- Feeling bad, but you know thisis the right thing, so do it.
- 00:14:45.597 --> 00:14:48.133
- I'll tell you theperfect illustration.
- 00:14:48.167 --> 00:14:50.002
- Maybe feeling bad and not comingto Bible study,
- 00:14:50.035 --> 00:14:52.638
- but you go a little farther.
- 00:14:52.671 --> 00:14:54.239
- You go a little farther.
- 00:14:54.273 --> 00:14:55.574
- "Well, I don't feel like it."But you go a little farther.
- 00:14:55.607 --> 00:14:57.376
- You don't allow youremotions to govern your life.
- 00:14:57.409 --> 00:15:01.046
- You take authority overthose things, and Jesus said go
- 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:04.016
- farther and do thething you know to do.
- 00:15:04.049 --> 00:15:06.719
- Do the thing you know to do.
- 00:15:06.752 --> 00:15:08.053
- I think I sharedthat in my testimony.
- 00:15:08.087 --> 00:15:09.521
- That when I was going throughthat thing and I asked my wife
- 00:15:09.555 --> 00:15:11.824
- to help me, she says, "Theonly thing--" and she don't--we
- 00:15:11.857 --> 00:15:13.892
- don't--we didn't realize
- 00:15:13.926 --> 00:15:15.227
- until now that that wasa godly advice.
- 00:15:15.260 --> 00:15:17.196
- "Only thing I can tell you iskeep doing what you know to do."
- 00:15:17.229 --> 00:15:20.933
- I had no idea thatwas what Jesus advised.
- 00:15:20.966 --> 00:15:24.370
- Just keep doing it eventhough you feel that way.
- 00:15:24.403 --> 00:15:26.572
- Keep doing what you know to do.I don't know about you.
- 00:15:26.605 --> 00:15:29.475
- Have you ever entered into aprayer and you didn't feel good,
- 00:15:29.508 --> 00:15:32.678
- or you didn't feel like praying?
- 00:15:32.711 --> 00:15:34.246
- That's just notwhat you wanted to do.
- 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:35.881
- And how many of you just made
- 00:15:35.914 --> 00:15:38.250
- yourself do it andyou felt better?
- 00:15:38.283 --> 00:15:40.853
- "You know, I don't feellike reading the Scripture.
- 00:15:40.886 --> 00:15:42.554
- I don't feel like sitting herelooking at this Word for today."
- 00:15:42.588 --> 00:15:45.491
- But you keep doing what youknow and your feelings change,
- 00:15:45.524 --> 00:15:49.528
- because you've attacked thosethoughts, and you've exposed
- 00:15:49.561 --> 00:15:51.830
- yourself to something that'sawesome.
- 00:15:51.864 --> 00:15:53.899
- And that's why he said go alittle farther,
- 00:15:53.932 --> 00:15:55.901
- and he said keep praying.
- 00:15:55.934 --> 00:15:57.703
- Go a little fartherand keep praying.
- 00:15:57.736 --> 00:15:59.938
- Well, the world doesn't want usto receive that advice, and so
- 00:15:59.972 --> 00:16:02.741
- when you neglect God'sadvice then you go and try to
- 00:16:02.775 --> 00:16:06.145
- find--what do you callsomething that's fake?
- 00:16:06.178 --> 00:16:11.884
- You're trying to--an imitation.
- 00:16:11.917 --> 00:16:14.086
- You try to go and seeanother way to do it.
- 00:16:14.119 --> 00:16:16.555
- Now, I'm not against you goingthe other way to do it, but I'm
- 00:16:16.588 --> 00:16:18.690
- just saying ourway is the best way.
- 00:16:18.724 --> 00:16:20.959
- And people don't know that, andsome Christians don't know that
- 00:16:20.993 --> 00:16:23.862
- 'cause they won't do it, and I'mtelling you, as a person who's
- 00:16:23.896 --> 00:16:27.332
- gone through it and will do it,
- 00:16:27.366 --> 00:16:29.134
- you'll see someamazing things happen.
- 00:16:29.168 --> 00:16:31.136
- Now, we left off with talkingabout the effects of depression
- 00:16:31.170 --> 00:16:35.874
- and one of the statements I made
- 00:16:35.908 --> 00:16:38.277
- was that depression is anenemy to your success.
- 00:16:38.310 --> 00:16:43.482
- Depression is anenemy to your success.
- 00:16:43.515 --> 00:16:48.253
- Depression wants to steal yourambitions, and it wants to
- 00:16:48.287 --> 00:16:51.924
- prevent you from participatingin the activities that you
- 00:16:51.957 --> 00:16:55.661
- should be enjoying in your life.
- 00:16:55.694 --> 00:16:57.129
- It's an enemy to your happiness,
- 00:16:57.162 --> 00:16:58.997
- and it is an enemyto your success.
- 00:16:59.031 --> 00:17:01.333
- There is no way I want you toallow this enemy to stop you
- 00:17:01.366 --> 00:17:05.804
- from being happy and successful,and it should motivate you to
- 00:17:05.838 --> 00:17:08.574
- know that when depression triesto attack your life, it should
- 00:17:08.607 --> 00:17:12.177
- say to you, "All you're trying
- 00:17:12.211 --> 00:17:14.313
- to do is stop me frombeing successful."
- 00:17:14.346 --> 00:17:17.749
- And how?
- 00:17:17.783 --> 00:17:19.151
- Because when the feeling comesit wants to move you away from
- 00:17:19.184 --> 00:17:22.020
- the will of God for your life,wants to move you away from the
- 00:17:22.054 --> 00:17:24.690
- plan of God for your life.
- 00:17:24.723 --> 00:17:26.191
- And how often do you findyourself just kinda wondering,
- 00:17:26.225 --> 00:17:29.561
- "How long is it gonna take?
- 00:17:29.595 --> 00:17:30.963
- And when is itgonna be my time?"
- 00:17:30.996 --> 00:17:32.498
- Listen, honey, it's hard to talkto the God of love and peace
- 00:17:32.531 --> 00:17:36.969
- when you're always in a darkplace,
- 00:17:37.002 --> 00:17:41.940
- and he just needs you torecognize that.
- 00:17:41.974 --> 00:17:43.542
- So, we talked about someeffects of depression.
- 00:17:43.575 --> 00:17:46.645
- Number one, physical illnessis one effect of depression.
- 00:17:46.678 --> 00:17:51.817
- Physical illness is one effect.
- 00:17:51.850 --> 00:17:53.719
- You continue to allow thosethoughts to press in, and they
- 00:17:53.752 --> 00:17:58.657
- eventually settle and--into yourheart, and you don't deal with
- 00:17:58.690 --> 00:18:02.427
- those thoughts, and then thosefeelings comes and, man, it will
- 00:18:02.461 --> 00:18:05.931
- release terriblethings in your body.
- 00:18:05.964 --> 00:18:08.167
- Your cortisol levelbegins to rise up.
- 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.335
- It begins to put a foundationfor chronic disease, because if
- 00:18:10.369 --> 00:18:14.072
- you're emotionally diseased,you will eventually become
- 00:18:14.106 --> 00:18:18.677
- physically diseased.
- 00:18:18.710 --> 00:18:21.246
- And while people try todiagnose folks and the different
- 00:18:21.280 --> 00:18:24.917
- illnesses, one of the thingsthat I think we miss is the fact
- 00:18:24.950 --> 00:18:28.887
- that a lotta things come frombeing so stressed and depressed.
- 00:18:28.921 --> 00:18:34.660
- That if you don't deal withthat, then you can try to take a
- 00:18:34.693 --> 00:18:39.498
- lotta supplements and do healthythings, but you have got to deal
- 00:18:39.531 --> 00:18:44.403
- with that emotional area.
- 00:18:44.436 --> 00:18:46.638
- And your emotional area canbring you to a place of death.
- 00:18:46.672 --> 00:18:51.577
- You can go through a trauma or ashocking trauma situation, and
- 00:18:51.610 --> 00:18:57.749
- it could release cancer tobe manifested in your body.
- 00:18:57.783 --> 00:19:00.752
- We all have cancer cells, butthey are kept at bay, and just
- 00:19:00.786 --> 00:19:03.455
- some emotional thing like thatcan be responsible for it being
- 00:19:03.488 --> 00:19:06.692
- released in your body.
- 00:19:06.725 --> 00:19:08.026
- I can't tell you the illnessesthat are up that can come up as
- 00:19:08.060 --> 00:19:12.631
- a result of you not dealing withdepression, and so for people
- 00:19:12.664 --> 00:19:16.368
- who like to worry a lot, stop.
- 00:19:16.401 --> 00:19:18.570
- You're making yourself sick.
- 00:19:18.604 --> 00:19:20.672
- For people who just wanna bedepressed about everything and
- 00:19:20.706 --> 00:19:23.542
- wanna magnify differences,difficulties in your life, stop.
- 00:19:23.575 --> 00:19:27.746
- You're making yourself sick.
- 00:19:27.779 --> 00:19:29.381
- If you go to bed sad and youwake up sad, and you're sad
- 00:19:29.414 --> 00:19:32.351
- throughout the day,you're making yourself sick.
- 00:19:32.384 --> 00:19:35.454
- And so, what happens is when thesickness comes, you say, "Well,
- 00:19:35.487 --> 00:19:37.656
- who did it?
- 00:19:37.689 --> 00:19:38.991
- It's the devil."
- 00:19:39.024 --> 00:19:40.692
- No, it's an uninformed Christian
- 00:19:40.726 --> 00:19:43.795
- who didn't know how to dealwith his emotions.
- 00:19:43.829 --> 00:19:46.765
- Wow.
- 00:19:46.798 --> 00:19:48.267
- How about that?
- 00:19:48.300 --> 00:19:49.801
- That feels crazy, coming tochurch and not hearing, "Well,
- 00:19:49.835 --> 00:19:52.137
- it's the devil that did it."
- 00:19:52.170 --> 00:19:53.472
- No, it's an uninformed Christianwho don't have no idea how to
- 00:19:53.505 --> 00:19:57.909
- handle their emotions, and theemotions have been handling you,
- 00:19:57.943 --> 00:20:00.479
- and you go around with pain.
- 00:20:00.512 --> 00:20:02.080
- You got the stuffthat's hap--
- 00:20:02.114 --> 00:20:03.415
- You wouldn't--listen, you showme a real sick person, and I
- 00:20:03.448 --> 00:20:06.652
- guarantee you I go back in thebackground, if they're honest
- 00:20:06.685 --> 00:20:09.221
- with me, if they're honest withme, they will tell me how long
- 00:20:09.254 --> 00:20:13.458
- they've been worried andconcerned and all of that stuff
- 00:20:13.492 --> 00:20:16.094
- that's going on right there.
- 00:20:16.128 --> 00:20:17.529
- It is.It is.
- 00:20:17.562 --> 00:20:18.897
- I found out my emotionalopenness, I'm trying to fight it
- 00:20:18.930 --> 00:20:23.869
- by faith, and I had it goinguntil the trauma and the shock
- 00:20:23.902 --> 00:20:32.611
- of betrayal hit me, and itaffected my physical body.
- 00:20:32.644 --> 00:20:38.050
- And while I looked strong comingon the pulpit like it didn't
- 00:20:38.083 --> 00:20:40.552
- matter and stuff, that's all myfaith part, but the trauma of it
- 00:20:40.585 --> 00:20:45.223
- and having to deal withthat, whoo, it was the devil.
- 00:20:45.257 --> 00:20:50.529
- He was trying tokill me that one day.
- 00:20:50.562 --> 00:20:53.498
- There are so many things thathappened that one day that were
- 00:20:53.532 --> 00:20:56.568
- so painful, so hurtful,
- 00:20:56.601 --> 00:20:58.170
- including the deathof loved ones.
- 00:20:58.203 --> 00:21:00.205
- It was just crazy, and the enemyknew, "If I can cause enough
- 00:21:00.238 --> 00:21:05.043
- stress and trauma, I can release
- 00:21:05.077 --> 00:21:07.579
- something and be closer totaking you out."
- 00:21:07.612 --> 00:21:11.350
- But just like that drama cantake you out, the joy of the
- 00:21:11.383 --> 00:21:14.019
- Lord can produce healing, see?
- 00:21:14.052 --> 00:21:17.389
- You gotta the Word thatwill bring joy, amen?
- 00:21:17.422 --> 00:21:19.624
- For everything the devil thinkhe got against you, God has
- 00:21:19.658 --> 00:21:22.527
- already risen more.
- 00:21:22.561 --> 00:21:24.296
- You know, the Bibletalks about much more.
- 00:21:24.329 --> 00:21:26.565
- You know, sin, when sin abounds,he said grace does what?
- 00:21:26.598 --> 00:21:29.735
- Much more abounds, so ain'tnothing that's gonna happen to
- 00:21:29.768 --> 00:21:32.537
- you that's not already handled.
- 00:21:32.571 --> 00:21:34.539
- Turn to two people andtell 'em, "It's handled.
- 00:21:34.573 --> 00:21:36.041
- It's handled.
- 00:21:36.074 --> 00:21:37.409
- It's handled."I don't care what it is.
- 00:21:37.442 --> 00:21:38.744
- It's handled.It's handled.
- 00:21:38.777 --> 00:21:41.713
- And that keeps yousafe in your mind.
- 00:21:41.747 --> 00:21:44.850
- That no matter how crazy itmight be, remind yourself,
- 00:21:44.883 --> 00:21:48.820
- saturate your consciousness that"this is handled, and there is a
- 00:21:48.854 --> 00:21:53.658
- expiration to all trouble."
- 00:21:53.692 --> 00:21:58.697
- Go to bed.
- 00:21:58.730 --> 00:22:00.031
- Say, "That thingmight expire tomorrow."
- 00:22:00.065 --> 00:22:02.100
- If it don't, wake up, live byfaith through that day, go to
- 00:22:02.134 --> 00:22:05.437
- bed again, but it can't be thereall the time, hallelujah.
- 00:22:05.470 --> 00:22:10.709
- Just use it like you woulddumbbells and just exercise to
- 00:22:10.742 --> 00:22:14.179
- build your muscle up.
- 00:22:14.212 --> 00:22:15.647
- While the trouble is there youmight as well benefit from it
- 00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.116
- being there.
- 00:22:18.150 --> 00:22:19.451
- Glory be to God.
- 00:22:19.484 --> 00:22:20.786
- I almost got happy on that.
- 00:22:20.819 --> 00:22:22.154
- You might as wellbenefit from it being there.
- 00:22:22.187 --> 00:22:24.456
- No, don't do that.
- 00:22:24.489 --> 00:22:27.025
- Get something out of it.
- 00:22:27.058 --> 00:22:28.393
- Don't ever come out ofa hard time the same.
- 00:22:28.427 --> 00:22:33.532
- Come out of a hard time withsome wisdom, that you know
- 00:22:33.565 --> 00:22:36.768
- something now.
- 00:22:36.802 --> 00:22:38.270
- "Bring it on, devil."
- 00:22:38.303 --> 00:22:39.604
- And then, one day you'regonna say, "You wanna dance?
- 00:22:39.638 --> 00:22:41.106
- Bring it on.I ain't scared of you.
- 00:22:41.139 --> 00:22:42.441
- I ain't scared of you.
- 00:22:42.474 --> 00:22:43.809
- No, I ain't nevergonna be scared of you.
- 00:22:43.842 --> 00:22:45.277
- Come on over here.
- 00:22:45.310 --> 00:22:47.679
- You gotta get thataggressive with the enemy.
- 00:22:47.712 --> 00:22:49.815
- First of all, you've gotto know how's he behind it.
- 00:22:49.848 --> 00:22:53.385
- He's behind it.
- 00:22:53.418 --> 00:22:55.320
- He doesn't haveauthority to do it.
- 00:22:55.353 --> 00:22:57.355
- He wants to use suggestionsand trickery
- 00:22:57.389 --> 00:23:00.358
- so you can authorize it.
- 00:23:00.392 --> 00:23:02.928
- Sad thing is that you've allowedSatan's suggestions or your
- 00:23:02.961 --> 00:23:07.833
- ignorance to authorizeyour own destruction.
- 00:23:07.866 --> 00:23:11.837
- You hear what I said?
- 00:23:11.870 --> 00:23:13.171
- Satan's suggestion or your
- 00:23:13.205 --> 00:23:14.606
- ignorance to authorize yourown destruction.
- 00:23:14.639 --> 00:23:17.843
- You open your mouth up andspeak things in the air.
- 00:23:17.876 --> 00:23:20.779
- You start agreeing with stuff.
- 00:23:20.812 --> 00:23:22.247
- Your emotions starttaking you places.
- 00:23:22.280 --> 00:23:24.249
- You're not in the Word andexposing yourself to the Word.
- 00:23:24.282 --> 00:23:26.718
- See, all of that stuff isauthorized by you, and so you
- 00:23:26.751 --> 00:23:31.656
- gotta use your authority in theright way to benefit you so that
- 00:23:31.690 --> 00:23:35.026

- your life that's gonna hurt you.
- 00:23:37.963 --> 00:23:39.798
- I used to pray a prayerwent like this:
- 00:23:39.831 --> 00:23:41.333
- Lord, please help menot to hurt myself.
- 00:23:41.366 --> 00:23:46.304

- Now, I remember when Taffiand I started giving.
- 00:25:36.615 --> 00:25:39.451
- It was a painful thing to give,
- 00:25:39.484 --> 00:25:41.453
- because we didn't havemuch at all financially.
- 00:25:41.486 --> 00:25:44.122
