00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.740
 I decided a few years ago, if you have a Bible, turn to Genesis chapter 3.

00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:09.099
 Genesis chapter 3, I decided a few years ago that I was going to try a casserole.

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.120
 And I started mixing up the ingredients and getting them together.

00:00:13.300 --> 00:00:17.900
 And it called for paprika, two teaspoons of paprika.

00:00:18.059 --> 00:00:20.460
 So I reached in the spice rack and grabbed the red stuff.

00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:27.039
 And I like, you know, paprika don't have much of a flavor, so you need a heaping.

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:31.039
 So I made them heaping, teaspoon, tablespoon, something like that.

00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:34.079
 Put them in there and mixed it up.

00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:38.920
 And found out that the red stuff was not paprika.

00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:40.979
 It was cayenne pepper.

00:00:41.519 --> 00:00:45.099
 And that dog never begged for food again.

00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:48.120
 So...

00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:54.939
 One thing good about recipes, if you go by them, it will work out good.

00:00:54.939 --> 00:00:56.579
 If you don't, well, it may not.

00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:03.820
 And when God made the earth, he made it right.

00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:06.819
 He made it perfect.

00:01:07.939 --> 00:01:13.799
 And he backed up day after day and looked at what he had done that day and said, it's good.

00:01:15.659 --> 00:01:22.480
 When he created us to interact with each other, as well as in this world, it was a right mix.

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:23.939
 He did it right.

00:01:23.939 --> 00:01:28.319
 I mean, when the Lord does something, he does it right.

00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.239
 The problem wasn't until we came into the picture.

00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:43.699
 And when we came into the picture, the minute we came in, maybe not the minute, but shortly thereafter, we tried to do it our way.

00:01:44.739 --> 00:01:47.079
 And not his way.

00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:50.019
 And that's when problems arose.

00:01:51.299 --> 00:01:53.060
 And that's what Adam and Eve did.

00:01:53.140 --> 00:02:01.539
 And I said we did that because we do the same things when we choose our way over his way.

00:02:01.540 --> 00:02:06.040
 And the ramifications of that are tremendous.

00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:13.719
 Sin always causes a lot more damage than you think it will.

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:14.900
 It always will.

00:02:14.900 --> 00:02:24.020
 And in our passage today, the Lord is continuing to deliver the curses or the ramifications of sin.

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:27.480
 Continuing to tell them what would happen to them because they've sinned.

00:02:28.140 --> 00:02:32.080
 It does not only affect the snake, and we talked about that last week.

00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:33.759
 It affects all of us.

00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:38.239
 And it's a horrible ripple effect that takes place.

00:02:38.539 --> 00:02:42.099
 Not only when sin started, but as it continues.

00:02:43.099 --> 00:02:45.840
 And I want you to see some of that today.

00:02:45.979 --> 00:02:48.759
 It's in Genesis chapter 3, beginning in verse 16.

00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:49.599
 It says this.

00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:54.139
 To the woman, he said, this is the Lord speaking.

00:02:54.139 --> 00:02:58.279
 I will surely multiply your pain in childbirth.

00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.459
 In pain you shall bring forth children.

00:03:01.079 --> 00:03:03.239
 Your desire shall be for your husband.

00:03:03.659 --> 00:03:05.500
 And he shall rule over you.

00:03:06.579 --> 00:03:13.619
 And to Adam, he said, because you've listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you,

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.319
 you shall not eat of it.

00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:17.799
 Cursed is the ground because of you.

00:03:18.219 --> 00:03:21.099
 In pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life.

00:03:21.099 --> 00:03:25.439
 Thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you.

00:03:25.780 --> 00:03:28.519
 And you shall eat the plants of the field.

00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:33.639
 By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread.

00:03:34.180 --> 00:03:36.379
 Till you return to the ground.

00:03:36.900 --> 00:03:38.539
 For out of it you were taken.

00:03:39.340 --> 00:03:40.599
 For you are dust.

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:44.079
 And to dust you shall return.

00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:50.219
 God intended for a shameless couple

00:03:50.219 --> 00:03:53.240
 to live in a perfect garden

00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.419
 and procreate

00:03:55.419 --> 00:03:57.620
 and manage that garden

00:03:57.620 --> 00:03:58.919
 and to be blessed.

00:04:00.099 --> 00:04:00.780
 Freedom

00:04:00.780 --> 00:04:02.840
 and contentment

00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:04.699
 were to mark

00:04:04.699 --> 00:04:06.139
 their lives.

00:04:06.259 --> 00:04:07.879
 And with a right relationship with God

00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:10.079
 all other relationships

00:04:10.079 --> 00:04:12.000
 will be good

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.180
 but sin got mixed in.

00:04:14.180 --> 00:04:17.240
 And when sin got mixed in

00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.079
 unnecessary difficulties

00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:21.079
 come along the way with that.

00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:23.840
 These curses that we look at

00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:25.759
 beginning in verse 14

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:26.800
 that we talked about last week

00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:27.980
 through 19

00:04:27.980 --> 00:04:28.780
 explain

00:04:28.780 --> 00:04:31.379
 what now has taken place.

00:04:31.840 --> 00:04:34.139
 We talked about the curse of the serpent last week

00:04:34.139 --> 00:04:36.720
 and the fact that there will always be a battle

00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.740
 between those influenced by Satan

00:04:39.740 --> 00:04:41.960
 and the people of God.

00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.620
 We will always have a battle

00:04:44.620 --> 00:04:45.939
 between evil forces

00:04:45.939 --> 00:04:46.739
 and

00:04:46.739 --> 00:04:48.359
 people of God.

00:04:49.099 --> 00:04:50.979
 There's always going to be that struggle.

00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.120
 There will be many battles lost

00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:53.959
 along the way

00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.539
 and there will be many battles won.

00:04:57.719 --> 00:04:59.439
 But be assured that the war

00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.399
 has been won by Christ.

00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:03.599
 And we can claim victory

00:05:03.599 --> 00:05:05.359
 and we can live victoriously

00:05:05.359 --> 00:05:06.679
 if we claim that victory.

00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.359
 And if we live as God instructed us to live.

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.439
 However, not only do we have

00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:14.939
 an eternal victory in Christ

00:05:14.939 --> 00:05:18.699
 we can also have daily victory

00:05:18.699 --> 00:05:20.960
 in the spiritual battles that we face.

00:05:21.420 --> 00:05:23.819
 And we need to be victorious in those things.

00:05:24.280 --> 00:05:25.740
 Losing sinful battles

00:05:25.740 --> 00:05:27.639
 staying entrenched in

00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.400
 unnecessary sinful struggles

00:05:30.400 --> 00:05:32.759
 being chained down to

00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:34.360
 spiritual strongholds

00:05:34.939 --> 00:05:37.580
 that we have the ability in Christ

00:05:37.579 --> 00:05:39.199
 if you're a Christian today

00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:40.959
 if you've surrendered your life

00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.039
 to the Lord Jesus Christ

00:05:42.039 --> 00:05:43.680
 you have the ability

00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.719
 in Christ

00:05:45.719 --> 00:05:48.099
 and by the Spirit of God

00:05:48.099 --> 00:05:49.599
 to walk away

00:05:49.599 --> 00:05:51.599
 from sin

00:05:51.599 --> 00:05:52.939
 that is

00:05:52.939 --> 00:05:54.699
 completely uncalled for

00:05:54.699 --> 00:05:55.339
 in your life

00:05:55.339 --> 00:05:57.240
 and that cause

00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:58.139
 a mess

00:05:58.139 --> 00:06:00.819
 and the ramifications

00:06:00.819 --> 00:06:02.519
 that enter into our lives

00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:03.459
 when sin is mixed in

00:06:03.459 --> 00:06:04.339
 are huge.

00:06:04.939 --> 00:06:06.060
 The effects of our sins

00:06:06.060 --> 00:06:07.579
 saturate all of our lives

00:06:07.579 --> 00:06:09.199
 and those curses

00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:09.959
 are examples

00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:10.699
 that encompass

00:06:10.699 --> 00:06:12.100
 much more

00:06:12.100 --> 00:06:13.220
 than we first notice

00:06:13.220 --> 00:06:14.180
 when we read them.

00:06:15.459 --> 00:06:16.379
 And so I want you to see

00:06:16.379 --> 00:06:17.199
 how it affects us.

00:06:17.420 --> 00:06:18.439
 When sin

00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:20.560
 whether it be our sin

00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:21.240
 or whether it be

00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:22.519
 somebody else's sin

00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:24.100
 when sin enters in

00:06:24.100 --> 00:06:26.079
 when it gets mixed in

00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.120
 our blessings

00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.139
 will come

00:06:30.139 --> 00:06:31.180
 with burdens.

00:06:32.180 --> 00:06:33.340
 Our blessings

00:06:33.340 --> 00:06:35.060
 will become some burdens.

00:06:35.060 --> 00:06:36.819
 To the woman

00:06:36.819 --> 00:06:37.740
 he said

00:06:37.740 --> 00:06:39.579
 I will surely

00:06:39.579 --> 00:06:41.040
 multiply your pain

00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:42.120
 in childbirth

00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:43.560
 in pain

00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:45.519
 you shall bring forth

00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:46.180
 children.

00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:49.340
 The birth of a child

00:06:49.340 --> 00:06:51.240
 is a glorious experience.

00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:52.819
 The anticipation

00:06:52.819 --> 00:06:53.920
 of that child

00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:55.279
 fills us with joy

00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:55.819
 and yet

00:06:55.819 --> 00:06:57.319
 what should be

00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:58.500
 a glorious experience

00:06:58.500 --> 00:06:59.620
 is instead one

00:06:59.620 --> 00:07:01.519
 of agonizing pain

00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:02.680
 for mom.

00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:04.759
 a new mother

00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:05.439
 still grateful

00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:06.079
 when that child

00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:06.480
 comes

00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:07.040
 for a child

00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:07.500
 is a blessing

00:07:07.500 --> 00:07:07.959
 of God

00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:08.199
 yet

00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:09.680
 with that blessing

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:10.800
 the burden

00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:11.600
 of delivery

00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:12.740
 can be horrifying

00:07:12.740 --> 00:07:13.360
 pain.

00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:15.300
 The scripture

00:07:15.300 --> 00:07:17.500
 does not say

00:07:17.500 --> 00:07:18.579
 that pain

00:07:18.579 --> 00:07:19.579
 comes from sin

00:07:19.579 --> 00:07:20.920
 that particular

00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:21.780
 pain comes from sin.

00:07:22.019 --> 00:07:22.920
 It's obvious

00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:23.699
 why it hurts.

00:07:23.699 --> 00:07:26.060
 it does say

00:07:26.060 --> 00:07:27.659
 that that pain

00:07:27.659 --> 00:07:28.800
 will be greatly

00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:30.500
 increased

00:07:30.500 --> 00:07:32.740
 and that speaks

00:07:32.740 --> 00:07:33.879
 of a couple

00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:34.420
 of things.

00:07:35.379 --> 00:07:36.599
 No doubt about it

00:07:36.599 --> 00:07:37.680
 it speaks to an

00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:38.459
 increase

00:07:38.459 --> 00:07:39.519
 of physical

00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:40.300
 pain

00:07:40.300 --> 00:07:42.620
 that should serve

00:07:42.620 --> 00:07:43.159
 as a reminder

00:07:43.159 --> 00:07:43.519
 to us

00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:44.240
 of how our burdens

00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:45.579
 come with blessings

00:07:45.579 --> 00:07:46.219
 due to sin.

00:07:46.220 --> 00:07:46.780
 however

00:07:46.780 --> 00:07:49.300
 it also

00:07:49.300 --> 00:07:50.280
 surely speaks

00:07:50.280 --> 00:07:51.160
 of pain

00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.060
 that comes

00:07:53.060 --> 00:07:54.460
 well after

00:07:54.460 --> 00:07:56.220
 the delivery.

00:07:57.020 --> 00:07:58.040
 I was told

00:07:58.040 --> 00:07:59.440
 when Abby

00:07:59.440 --> 00:08:00.040
 was born

00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.200
 our first child

00:08:02.200 --> 00:08:03.940
 you will never

00:08:03.940 --> 00:08:05.020
 sleep soundly

00:08:05.020 --> 00:08:05.600
 again.

00:08:07.180 --> 00:08:07.920
 I went

00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:08.260
 what?

00:08:10.500 --> 00:08:11.480
 And I thought

00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:11.980
 they were talking

00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:12.680
 about sleepless

00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:13.520
 nights of a baby

00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:14.080
 is what I thought

00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:14.580
 they were talking

00:08:14.580 --> 00:08:14.920
 about.

00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:16.400
 And we were

00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:17.319
 blessed that our

00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:18.680
 children slept

00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:19.640
 through the night

00:08:19.640 --> 00:08:20.699
 early on

00:08:20.699 --> 00:08:21.920
 both of them.

00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:23.240
 We thought it was

00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:24.120
 excellent parenting

00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:25.259
 until they woke up

00:08:25.259 --> 00:08:26.040
 and then we realized

00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:26.600
 it wasn't that.

00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:27.000
 But anyway

00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:31.000
 but we were

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:31.660
 blessed with that

00:08:31.660 --> 00:08:32.080
 however

00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:33.820
 that's not what

00:08:33.820 --> 00:08:34.360
 they were talking

00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:34.700
 about.

00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:39.259
 I got a child

00:08:39.259 --> 00:08:39.680
 on the road

00:08:39.680 --> 00:08:40.320
 right now.

00:08:41.539 --> 00:08:42.420
 I checked

00:08:42.420 --> 00:08:43.080
 their location

00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:43.659
 right before

00:08:43.659 --> 00:08:44.399
 I got up.

00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:45.759
 and I'll be

00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:46.479
 honest with you

00:08:46.479 --> 00:08:47.360
 while somebody

00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:47.939
 walks up here

00:08:47.939 --> 00:08:48.439
 for the closing

00:08:48.439 --> 00:08:49.139
 prayer and I'm

00:08:49.139 --> 00:08:49.620
 standing in the

00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:50.299
 back I'll probably

00:08:50.299 --> 00:08:50.779
 check and see

00:08:50.779 --> 00:08:51.240
 where she is

00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:51.599
 again.

00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:54.279
 I'll never

00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:55.079
 sleep soundly

00:08:55.079 --> 00:08:55.519
 again.

00:08:57.620 --> 00:08:58.539
 How can you

00:08:58.539 --> 00:08:59.339
 ever fully

00:08:59.339 --> 00:09:00.360
 rest again

00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:01.159
 with children

00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:02.639
 with grandchildren

00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:04.000
 in your life?

00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:05.559
 I mean you're

00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:06.360
 to raise them

00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:07.079
 protect them

00:09:07.079 --> 00:09:08.360
 guide them

00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:09.500
 provide for them

00:09:09.500 --> 00:09:10.819
 all the while

00:09:10.819 --> 00:09:11.919
 they are

00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:13.019
 to put it

00:09:13.019 --> 00:09:13.479
 nicely

00:09:13.479 --> 00:09:14.699
 individuals

00:09:14.699 --> 00:09:16.000
 you know

00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:17.679
 the burden

00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:18.299
 of raising

00:09:18.299 --> 00:09:18.799
 a child

00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:19.399
 the right

00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:19.719
 way

00:09:19.719 --> 00:09:20.399
 the godly

00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:20.659
 way

00:09:20.659 --> 00:09:21.000
 is an

00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:21.699
 awesome

00:09:21.699 --> 00:09:24.159
 and imperfect

00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.039
 responsibility.

00:09:26.899 --> 00:09:28.099
 The necessity

00:09:28.099 --> 00:09:28.939
 of disciplining

00:09:28.939 --> 00:09:29.339
 a child

00:09:29.339 --> 00:09:29.819
 prudently

00:09:29.819 --> 00:09:30.879
 is weighty

00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:31.779
 and it's

00:09:31.779 --> 00:09:32.299
 tough

00:09:32.299 --> 00:09:33.240
 we live

00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:33.559
 in a more

00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:34.199
 permissive

00:09:34.199 --> 00:09:34.839
 society

00:09:34.839 --> 00:09:35.439
 today

00:09:35.439 --> 00:09:36.139
 and one

00:09:36.139 --> 00:09:37.179
 that somewhat

00:09:37.179 --> 00:09:37.980
 condemns

00:09:37.980 --> 00:09:38.560
 discipline

00:09:38.560 --> 00:09:39.560
 in that

00:09:39.560 --> 00:09:39.879
 way

00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:41.039
 and so it

00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:41.320
 makes it

00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:41.659
 that much

00:09:41.659 --> 00:09:42.240
 more difficult

00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:43.460
 when scripture

00:09:43.460 --> 00:09:44.300
 tells us

00:09:44.300 --> 00:09:45.159
 to make sure

00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:45.740
 that we raise

00:09:45.740 --> 00:09:46.200
 a child

00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:46.860
 where they know

00:09:46.860 --> 00:09:47.159
 where they're

00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:47.740
 supposed to go

00:09:47.740 --> 00:09:48.860
 in the way

00:09:48.860 --> 00:09:49.139
 that they

00:09:49.139 --> 00:09:49.620
 ought to go

00:09:49.620 --> 00:09:50.879
 the leading

00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:51.379
 of a child

00:09:51.379 --> 00:09:51.860
 properly

00:09:51.860 --> 00:09:53.259
 is daily

00:09:53.259 --> 00:09:54.519
 and it is

00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:54.980
 sometimes

00:09:54.980 --> 00:09:56.080
 difficult

00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:56.519
 there's no

00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:56.940
 doubt about

00:09:56.940 --> 00:09:57.259
 that

00:09:57.259 --> 00:09:57.940
 most of the

00:09:57.940 --> 00:09:58.399
 pain of

00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:58.920
 parenthood

00:09:58.920 --> 00:09:59.600
 will come

00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:00.120
 later in

00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:00.500
 life

00:10:00.500 --> 00:10:00.820
 and it

00:10:00.820 --> 00:10:03.240
 will well

00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:03.659
 surpass

00:10:03.659 --> 00:10:05.039
 any previous

00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:05.480
 felt

00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:06.120
 physical

00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:06.680
 pain

00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:07.359
 and that's

00:10:07.359 --> 00:10:08.000
 easier for

00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:08.579
 me to say

00:10:08.579 --> 00:10:08.959
 than over

00:10:08.959 --> 00:10:09.379
 half the

00:10:09.379 --> 00:10:09.539
 room

00:10:09.539 --> 00:10:10.000
 I understand

00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:10.239
 that

00:10:10.239 --> 00:10:11.539
 but why

00:10:11.539 --> 00:10:12.259
 is that

00:10:12.259 --> 00:10:12.859
 because of

00:10:12.859 --> 00:10:13.239
 sin

00:10:13.239 --> 00:10:16.579
 the pain

00:10:16.579 --> 00:10:17.139
 of Genesis

00:10:17.139 --> 00:10:18.120
 3 verse

00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:18.779
 16

00:10:18.779 --> 00:10:19.439
 that first

00:10:19.439 --> 00:10:19.819
 part

00:10:19.819 --> 00:10:20.599
 speaks of

00:10:20.599 --> 00:10:21.639
 an injuring

00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:22.919
 or a grieving

00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:24.139
 type pain

00:10:24.139 --> 00:10:26.159
 it speaks

00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:27.439
 of a nagging

00:10:27.439 --> 00:10:28.179
 pain

00:10:28.179 --> 00:10:29.359
 that continues

00:10:29.359 --> 00:10:31.219
 it is in

00:10:31.219 --> 00:10:32.319
 fact the pain

00:10:32.319 --> 00:10:33.039
 of mixed

00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:33.639
 blessings

00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:35.219
 there are

00:10:35.219 --> 00:10:35.699
 wonderful

00:10:35.699 --> 00:10:36.240
 highlights

00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:36.840
 in life

00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:38.180
 but due

00:10:38.180 --> 00:10:38.759
 to sin

00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:40.019
 due to

00:10:40.019 --> 00:10:40.860
 our sin

00:10:40.860 --> 00:10:41.419
 due to

00:10:41.419 --> 00:10:42.159
 other people's

00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:42.440
 sin

00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:43.519
 we'll never

00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:44.340
 be free

00:10:44.340 --> 00:10:44.820
 from the

00:10:44.820 --> 00:10:45.320
 hindering

00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:46.139
 that sin

00:10:46.139 --> 00:10:46.700
 causes

00:10:46.700 --> 00:10:47.960
 and I thank

00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:48.440
 God for the

00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:48.940
 blessings in

00:10:48.940 --> 00:10:49.259
 life

00:10:49.259 --> 00:10:51.500
 I believe

00:10:51.500 --> 00:10:52.519
 that if we

00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:53.500
 took the time

00:10:53.500 --> 00:10:54.460
 and we opened

00:10:54.460 --> 00:10:55.519
 up that we

00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:56.039
 could have a

00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:56.980
 testimony time

00:10:56.980 --> 00:10:57.840
 this morning

00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:59.200
 speaking of the

00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:00.120
 goodness of God

00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:00.779
 that could

00:11:00.779 --> 00:11:01.860
 absolutely amaze

00:11:01.860 --> 00:11:02.460
 us if people

00:11:02.460 --> 00:11:03.120
 would open up

00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:03.720
 and share

00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:04.539
 the goodness

00:11:04.539 --> 00:11:05.099
 of God

00:11:05.099 --> 00:11:05.919
 and how God

00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:06.419
 has blessed

00:11:06.419 --> 00:11:07.139
 our lives

00:11:07.139 --> 00:11:08.099
 and given

00:11:08.099 --> 00:11:08.980
 us so much

00:11:08.980 --> 00:11:11.139
 at the same

00:11:11.139 --> 00:11:11.699
 time

00:11:11.699 --> 00:11:13.219
 I promise

00:11:13.219 --> 00:11:13.740
 you

00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:14.779
 there is

00:11:14.779 --> 00:11:15.399
 pain

00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:16.379
 on every

00:11:16.379 --> 00:11:16.899
 pew

00:11:16.899 --> 00:11:19.059
 every pew

00:11:19.059 --> 00:11:20.799
 has got

00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:21.339
 something

00:11:21.339 --> 00:11:23.120
 they're dealing

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:23.559
 with

00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:25.899
 always keep

00:11:25.899 --> 00:11:26.639
 that in mind

00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:28.480
 when you walk

00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:29.079
 in this room

00:11:29.079 --> 00:11:29.539
 and we're

00:11:29.539 --> 00:11:30.719
 blessed to have

00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:31.440
 the opportunity

00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:31.940
 to worship

00:11:31.940 --> 00:11:32.540
 together

00:11:32.540 --> 00:11:33.860
 we put on

00:11:33.860 --> 00:11:34.300
 our best

00:11:34.300 --> 00:11:34.720
 face

00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:35.139
 man we

00:11:35.139 --> 00:11:35.440
 even took

00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:35.940
 a bath

00:11:35.940 --> 00:11:36.300
 you know

00:11:36.300 --> 00:11:36.960
 either last

00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:37.420
 night or this

00:11:37.420 --> 00:11:37.840
 morning to

00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:38.660
 come to church

00:11:38.660 --> 00:11:39.100
 you know

00:11:39.100 --> 00:11:40.620
 tried to get

00:11:40.620 --> 00:11:41.200
 the wrinkles

00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:41.680
 out of our

00:11:41.680 --> 00:11:42.200
 clothes and

00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:42.620
 do the best

00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:43.160
 we could

00:11:43.160 --> 00:11:44.220
 to get here

00:11:44.220 --> 00:11:45.759
 but the reality

00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:46.320
 is

00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:48.000
 there's pain

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:48.340
 on every

00:11:48.340 --> 00:11:48.600
 pew

00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:50.580
 there is

00:11:50.580 --> 00:11:51.759
 and we need

00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:52.259
 to be gracious

00:11:52.259 --> 00:11:52.879
 to one another

00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:53.759
 we need to be

00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:54.300
 welcoming to

00:11:54.300 --> 00:11:54.720
 one another

00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:55.700
 we need to be

00:11:55.700 --> 00:11:56.259
 helpful to

00:11:56.259 --> 00:11:56.660
 one another

00:11:56.660 --> 00:11:58.420
 I believe

00:11:58.419 --> 00:11:59.860
 that's some

00:11:59.860 --> 00:12:00.759
 of the struggle

00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:02.059
 that is talked

00:12:02.059 --> 00:12:02.500
 about

00:12:02.500 --> 00:12:03.979
 in this passage

00:12:03.979 --> 00:12:04.519
 we have

00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:05.000
 burdens

00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:05.919
 and rather

00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:06.740
 directly or

00:12:06.740 --> 00:12:07.279
 indirectly

00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:07.939
 those burdens

00:12:07.939 --> 00:12:09.500
 come back

00:12:09.500 --> 00:12:10.819
 to sin

00:12:10.819 --> 00:12:11.899
 they come back

00:12:11.899 --> 00:12:12.360
 to sin

00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:13.139
 now I want to

00:12:13.139 --> 00:12:13.819
 correct what I

00:12:13.819 --> 00:12:14.279
 put on that

00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:14.779
 screen a few

00:12:14.779 --> 00:12:15.299
 moments ago

00:12:15.299 --> 00:12:15.959
 if you'll go

00:12:15.959 --> 00:12:16.339
 back

00:12:16.339 --> 00:12:17.719
 it says our

00:12:17.719 --> 00:12:18.479
 blessings

00:12:18.479 --> 00:12:19.699
 will become

00:12:19.699 --> 00:12:19.919
 burdens

00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:20.319
 I didn't mean

00:12:20.319 --> 00:12:20.659
 that

00:12:20.659 --> 00:12:22.959
 our blessings

00:12:22.959 --> 00:12:24.699
 will come

00:12:24.699 --> 00:12:25.899
 with burdens

00:12:25.899 --> 00:12:27.679
 you'll still

00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:28.339
 have blessings

00:12:28.340 --> 00:12:29.460
 and those

00:12:29.460 --> 00:12:29.759
 blessings

00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:30.120
 won't be

00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:30.500
 burdens

00:12:30.500 --> 00:12:31.560
 but with

00:12:31.560 --> 00:12:32.300
 those blessings

00:12:32.300 --> 00:12:33.100
 will come

00:12:33.100 --> 00:12:34.220
 burdens

00:12:34.220 --> 00:12:35.720
 second thing

00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:36.120
 is this

00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:36.879
 when sin

00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:37.540
 whether it's

00:12:37.540 --> 00:12:38.220
 our sin

00:12:38.220 --> 00:12:38.740
 or other

00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:39.120
 sin

00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:39.519
 but let's

00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:40.080
 be real

00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:40.680
 it's both

00:12:40.680 --> 00:12:41.280
 of them

00:12:41.280 --> 00:12:42.160
 when that

00:12:42.160 --> 00:12:42.780
 gets mixed

00:12:42.780 --> 00:12:43.480
 in together

00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:45.540
 our relationships

00:12:45.540 --> 00:12:46.700
 will be

00:12:46.700 --> 00:12:47.379
 marked

00:12:47.379 --> 00:12:48.440
 with rivalry

00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:50.680
 it says

00:12:50.680 --> 00:12:50.920
 in the

00:12:50.920 --> 00:12:51.780
 second part

00:12:51.780 --> 00:12:52.040
 of verse

00:12:52.040 --> 00:12:52.460
 16

00:12:52.460 --> 00:12:53.259
 your desire

00:12:53.259 --> 00:12:53.800
 shall be

00:12:53.800 --> 00:12:54.379
 contrary

00:12:54.379 --> 00:12:55.040
 to your

00:12:55.040 --> 00:12:55.500
 husband

00:12:55.500 --> 00:12:56.700
 but he

00:12:56.700 --> 00:12:57.519
 shall rule

00:12:57.519 --> 00:12:58.419
 over you

00:12:58.419 --> 00:13:00.139
 the second

00:13:00.139 --> 00:13:00.579
 part of

00:13:00.579 --> 00:13:01.220
 this verse

00:13:01.220 --> 00:13:02.819
 is

00:13:02.819 --> 00:13:04.740
 difficult

00:13:04.740 --> 00:13:05.980
 and it

00:13:05.980 --> 00:13:06.659
 speaks to

00:13:06.659 --> 00:13:07.500
 the difficulty

00:13:07.500 --> 00:13:08.299
 that comes

00:13:08.299 --> 00:13:09.199
 in marriage

00:13:09.199 --> 00:13:09.980
 due to

00:13:09.980 --> 00:13:10.699
 individual

00:13:10.699 --> 00:13:11.360
 sin

00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:12.720
 this verse

00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:13.299
 is often

00:13:13.299 --> 00:13:13.939
 either

00:13:13.939 --> 00:13:14.439
 misunderstood

00:13:14.439 --> 00:13:15.399
 or ignored

00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:17.120
 so what is

00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:17.620
 it saying

00:13:17.620 --> 00:13:19.620
 it is saying

00:13:19.620 --> 00:13:20.720
 that the

00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:21.460
 cohesive

00:13:21.460 --> 00:13:23.439
 complementarian

00:13:23.439 --> 00:13:24.720
 nature of

00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:26.279
 women made

00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:27.200
 for man

00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:28.360
 excuse me

00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:29.360
 women made

00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:30.660
 from man

00:13:30.660 --> 00:13:31.720
 and for

00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:32.379
 man

00:13:32.379 --> 00:13:33.540
 cleaving to

00:13:33.540 --> 00:13:34.080
 each other

00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:34.940
 as Genesis 2

00:13:34.940 --> 00:13:35.620
 points out

00:13:35.620 --> 00:13:37.879
 letting nothing

00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:38.779
 come interrupt

00:13:38.779 --> 00:13:39.580
 that at all

00:13:39.580 --> 00:13:41.440
 is going to be

00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:41.759
 difficult

00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:42.600
 that's what this

00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:43.279
 passage says

00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:44.540
 that's going to

00:13:44.540 --> 00:13:45.100
 be difficult

00:13:45.100 --> 00:13:47.060
 God's saying

00:13:47.060 --> 00:13:47.840
 that now

00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:48.779
 that relationship

00:13:48.779 --> 00:13:49.519
 is going to be

00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:50.240
 strained

00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:51.779
 she will love

00:13:51.779 --> 00:13:52.620
 him and he

00:13:52.620 --> 00:13:53.580
 will lead her

00:13:53.580 --> 00:13:54.540
 but it's not

00:13:54.540 --> 00:13:55.080
 going to be

00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:55.759
 smooth

00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:57.800
 because sin

00:13:57.800 --> 00:13:58.259
 has entered

00:13:58.259 --> 00:13:58.879
 into that

00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:00.860
 dumb stuff

00:14:00.860 --> 00:14:01.420
 is going to

00:14:01.420 --> 00:14:02.240
 come into

00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:02.560
 it

00:14:02.560 --> 00:14:04.220
 because of

00:14:04.220 --> 00:14:04.820
 sin

00:14:04.820 --> 00:14:05.400
 we're going to

00:14:05.400 --> 00:14:05.960
 listen to the

00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:06.340
 world

00:14:06.340 --> 00:14:07.000
 for one

00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.100
 and we're

00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:09.320
 going to

00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:10.020
 value our

00:14:10.020 --> 00:14:10.759
 own opinion

00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:11.740
 number two

00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:14.180
 and sometimes

00:14:14.180 --> 00:14:15.180
 we listen to

00:14:15.180 --> 00:14:15.600
 the world

00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:16.139
 more than we

00:14:16.139 --> 00:14:16.620
 do God

00:14:16.620 --> 00:14:17.100
 and sometimes

00:14:17.100 --> 00:14:17.620
 we value

00:14:17.620 --> 00:14:18.379
 our opinion

00:14:18.379 --> 00:14:18.780
 more than

00:14:18.780 --> 00:14:19.460
 we do God

00:14:19.460 --> 00:14:20.720
 and the

00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:21.420
 desire

00:14:21.420 --> 00:14:21.840
 that is

00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:22.379
 spoken of

00:14:22.379 --> 00:14:22.660
 here

00:14:22.660 --> 00:14:23.520
 will become

00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:24.939
 distorted

00:14:24.939 --> 00:14:27.379
 the lead

00:14:27.379 --> 00:14:28.179
 of men

00:14:28.179 --> 00:14:29.399
 will lack

00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:30.460
 the lordship

00:14:30.460 --> 00:14:31.379
 of Christ

00:14:31.379 --> 00:14:33.439
 and they

00:14:33.439 --> 00:14:33.939
 will attempt

00:14:33.939 --> 00:14:34.559
 to lord

00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:35.279
 themselves

00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.500
 which will

00:14:37.500 --> 00:14:38.240
 not go well

00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:38.799
 at the house

00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:39.120
 men

00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.199
 it won't

00:14:41.199 --> 00:14:43.039
 she will

00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:43.980
 steal the

00:14:43.980 --> 00:14:44.460
 bliss

00:14:44.460 --> 00:14:45.259
 excuse me

00:14:45.259 --> 00:14:45.899
 sin will

00:14:45.899 --> 00:14:46.379
 steal the

00:14:46.379 --> 00:14:46.779
 bliss

00:14:46.779 --> 00:15:02.419
 y'all are

00:15:02.419 --> 00:15:02.799
 pitiful

00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:04.860
 y'all are

00:15:04.860 --> 00:15:05.179
 pitiful

00:15:05.179 --> 00:15:05.740
 that's the

00:15:05.740 --> 00:15:06.139
 sin I'm

00:15:06.139 --> 00:15:06.779
 talking about

00:15:06.779 --> 00:15:10.059
 you know

00:15:10.059 --> 00:15:10.519
 how many

00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:11.299
 times I've

00:15:11.299 --> 00:15:11.759
 prayed over

00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:12.139
 this lord

00:15:12.139 --> 00:15:12.720
 just let me

00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:13.139
 through this

00:15:13.139 --> 00:15:13.439
 thing

00:15:13.439 --> 00:15:13.839
 okay

00:15:13.839 --> 00:15:15.019
 lord just get

00:15:15.019 --> 00:15:15.439
 me through

00:15:15.439 --> 00:15:16.019
 it and y'all

00:15:16.019 --> 00:15:16.480
 ain't a bit

00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:16.939
 of help

00:15:16.939 --> 00:15:19.059
 so much for

00:15:19.059 --> 00:15:19.539
 praying for

00:15:19.539 --> 00:15:20.039
 you pastor

00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:20.639
 but anyway

00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:23.799
 sin will

00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:24.259
 steal the

00:15:24.259 --> 00:15:24.860
 bliss and

00:15:24.860 --> 00:15:25.439
 sometimes that

00:15:25.439 --> 00:15:25.840
 comes from

00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:27.439
 her and

00:15:27.439 --> 00:15:28.019
 sometimes that

00:15:28.019 --> 00:15:28.360
 comes from

00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:28.639
 him

00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:31.500
 it'll steal

00:15:31.500 --> 00:15:33.399
 the mutuality

00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:33.720
 of that

00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:34.259
 marriage

00:15:34.259 --> 00:15:36.480
 listen God

00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:37.279
 made us to

00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:38.159
 work together

00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:41.159
 and selfish

00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:42.219
 sin

00:15:42.219 --> 00:15:44.360
 destroys that

00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:46.799
 that

00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:47.059
 that

00:15:47.059 --> 00:15:49.399
 that can be

00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:50.259
 wrong toward

00:15:50.259 --> 00:15:50.959
 each other

00:15:50.959 --> 00:15:54.899
 and that

00:15:54.899 --> 00:15:55.899
 obviously causes

00:15:55.899 --> 00:15:56.719
 difficulty

00:15:56.719 --> 00:16:00.319
 however what

00:16:00.319 --> 00:16:00.819
 is often

00:16:00.819 --> 00:16:01.860
 missed is

00:16:01.860 --> 00:16:02.620
 when there is

00:16:02.620 --> 00:16:03.159
 sin in our

00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:04.159
 individual lives

00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:08.279
 we often

00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:08.860
 think that

00:16:08.860 --> 00:16:09.419
 there's sin

00:16:09.419 --> 00:16:09.699
 in our

00:16:09.699 --> 00:16:10.159
 life that

00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:10.519
 we can

00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:11.000
 somehow

00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:12.459
 compartmentalize

00:16:12.459 --> 00:16:14.299
 and not let

00:16:14.299 --> 00:16:14.860
 that sin

00:16:14.860 --> 00:16:15.579
 affect anybody

00:16:15.579 --> 00:16:16.159
 else

00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:16.959
 it's just

00:16:16.959 --> 00:16:17.539
 my deal

00:16:17.539 --> 00:16:19.779
 it's just

00:16:19.779 --> 00:16:20.199
 something I

00:16:20.199 --> 00:16:20.719
 got to deal

00:16:20.719 --> 00:16:21.159
 with

00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.559
 and friend

00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:23.959
 that's not

00:16:23.959 --> 00:16:24.379
 true

00:16:24.379 --> 00:16:28.059
 yes you have

00:16:28.059 --> 00:16:28.339
 to deal

00:16:28.339 --> 00:16:28.679
 with your

00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:29.079
 sin but

00:16:29.079 --> 00:16:29.500
 don't ever

00:16:29.500 --> 00:16:29.959
 think that

00:16:29.959 --> 00:16:30.319
 it's so

00:16:30.319 --> 00:16:31.139
 separated and

00:16:31.139 --> 00:16:32.079
 compartmentalized

00:16:32.079 --> 00:16:32.399
 away from

00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:32.879
 everything else

00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:33.319
 that it

00:16:33.319 --> 00:16:33.799
 don't affect

00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:34.299
 other people

00:16:34.299 --> 00:16:34.759
 because it

00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:35.199
 does

00:16:35.199 --> 00:16:36.919
 first John

00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:37.699
 describes the

00:16:37.699 --> 00:16:38.719
 common sins

00:16:38.719 --> 00:16:39.240
 as the

00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:39.859
 desires of

00:16:39.859 --> 00:16:40.519
 the flesh

00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:42.259
 the desires

00:16:42.259 --> 00:16:43.079
 of the eyes

00:16:43.079 --> 00:16:44.139
 and the

00:16:44.139 --> 00:16:44.620
 pride of

00:16:44.620 --> 00:16:45.059
 life

00:16:45.059 --> 00:16:46.799
 and when

00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:47.500
 we fall

00:16:47.500 --> 00:16:48.299
 for those

00:16:48.299 --> 00:16:48.859
 it affects

00:16:48.859 --> 00:16:49.459
 other people

00:16:49.459 --> 00:16:50.759
 it affects

00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:52.019
 especially

00:16:52.019 --> 00:16:52.819
 affects those

00:16:52.819 --> 00:16:53.399
 in our own

00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:53.939
 home

00:16:53.939 --> 00:16:56.219
 it especially

00:16:56.219 --> 00:16:57.319
 of those

00:16:57.319 --> 00:16:57.879
 in the home

00:16:57.879 --> 00:16:58.779
 it especially

00:16:58.779 --> 00:16:59.919
 affects

00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:00.879
 our mate

00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:02.740
 and there's a

00:17:02.740 --> 00:17:03.459
 strain that

00:17:03.460 --> 00:17:03.960
 comes with

00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:04.240
 that

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:06.779
 and that's

00:17:06.779 --> 00:17:07.100
 what this

00:17:07.100 --> 00:17:07.640
 passage is

00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:08.259
 talking about

00:17:08.259 --> 00:17:09.039
 on one

00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:09.440
 side you

00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:10.120
 have love

00:17:10.120 --> 00:17:11.259
 and desire

00:17:11.259 --> 00:17:11.799
 on the other

00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:12.400
 side you

00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:13.380
 have authority

00:17:13.380 --> 00:17:14.299
 and I want

00:17:14.299 --> 00:17:14.779
 to be clear

00:17:14.779 --> 00:17:15.400
 about something

00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:15.740
 okay

00:17:15.740 --> 00:17:19.380
 when it

00:17:19.380 --> 00:17:19.880
 says your

00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:20.720
 desire shall

00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:21.279
 be contrary

00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:21.700
 to your

00:17:21.700 --> 00:17:22.440
 husband but

00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:22.940
 he shall

00:17:22.940 --> 00:17:23.539
 rule over

00:17:23.539 --> 00:17:23.819
 you

00:17:23.819 --> 00:17:25.840
 this is

00:17:25.840 --> 00:17:26.420
 not

00:17:26.420 --> 00:17:27.460
 ordaining

00:17:27.460 --> 00:17:29.460
 a marital

00:17:29.460 --> 00:17:30.420
 order here

00:17:30.420 --> 00:17:32.940
 this speaks

00:17:32.940 --> 00:17:33.820
 of a curse

00:17:33.820 --> 00:17:36.080
 this is a

00:17:36.080 --> 00:17:37.000
 result of

00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:37.600
 sin

00:17:37.600 --> 00:17:40.300
 somehow

00:17:40.300 --> 00:17:41.140
 leadership

00:17:41.140 --> 00:17:43.420
 can become

00:17:43.420 --> 00:17:43.920
 some kind

00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:44.500
 of ruling

00:17:44.500 --> 00:17:46.300
 and that's

00:17:46.300 --> 00:17:46.800
 not the same

00:17:46.800 --> 00:17:47.279
 thing

00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:49.740
 you can lead

00:17:49.740 --> 00:17:50.340
 a family

00:17:50.340 --> 00:17:51.600
 without ruling

00:17:51.600 --> 00:17:52.480
 over a family

00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:53.840
 but when sin

00:17:53.840 --> 00:17:54.320
 enters in

00:17:54.320 --> 00:17:54.640
 that's going

00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:55.060
 to happen

00:17:55.059 --> 00:17:56.639
 there's going

00:17:56.639 --> 00:17:57.000
 to be

00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:57.639
 conflict

00:17:57.639 --> 00:17:58.339
 that comes

00:17:58.339 --> 00:17:59.519
 along the

00:17:59.519 --> 00:17:59.819
 way

00:17:59.819 --> 00:18:00.700
 and that

00:18:00.700 --> 00:18:01.240
 combo

00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:02.480
 of

00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:04.000
 love

00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:04.799
 and desire

00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:05.559
 and authority

00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:06.220
 issues

00:18:06.220 --> 00:18:07.079
 all those

00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:07.440
 things

00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:07.960
 is not

00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:08.359
 good

00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:08.759
 and it's

00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:09.259
 real

00:18:09.259 --> 00:18:10.759
 there's a

00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:11.279
 rivalry

00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:11.940
 that takes

00:18:11.940 --> 00:18:12.519
 place

00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:14.220
 and husband

00:18:14.220 --> 00:18:15.119
 and wife

00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:15.980
 start looking

00:18:15.980 --> 00:18:16.639
 out for

00:18:16.639 --> 00:18:17.339
 themselves

00:18:17.339 --> 00:18:17.980
 instead of

00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:18.440
 looking out

00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:18.859
 for each

00:18:18.859 --> 00:18:19.159
 other

00:18:19.159 --> 00:18:20.179
 and that

00:18:20.179 --> 00:18:20.839
 does not

00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:21.220
 work

00:18:21.220 --> 00:18:21.720
 and marital

00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:22.039
 bliss

00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:22.620
 will leave

00:18:22.620 --> 00:18:23.640
 you fast

00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:24.880
 I want

00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:25.100
 you to

00:18:25.100 --> 00:18:25.660
 understand

00:18:25.660 --> 00:18:26.440
 that in

00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:26.740
 Genesis

00:18:26.740 --> 00:18:27.600
 chapter 2

00:18:27.600 --> 00:18:28.319
 they went

00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:28.720
 from being

00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:29.240
 naked

00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:30.039
 and ashamed

00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:30.920
 to in

00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:31.180
 Genesis

00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:31.839
 chapter 3

00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:32.279
 they are

00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:32.860
 covered

00:18:32.860 --> 00:18:33.539
 and pointing

00:18:33.539 --> 00:18:33.980
 fingers

00:18:33.980 --> 00:18:34.380
 at each

00:18:34.380 --> 00:18:34.660
 other

00:18:34.660 --> 00:18:36.339
 that quickly

00:18:36.339 --> 00:18:37.220
 because of

00:18:37.220 --> 00:18:37.600
 sin

00:18:37.600 --> 00:18:40.759
 and God

00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:41.440
 says

00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:42.600
 this ain't

00:18:42.600 --> 00:18:42.940
 going to be

00:18:42.940 --> 00:18:43.440
 easy

00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:45.079
 marriage

00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:45.500
 is not

00:18:45.500 --> 00:18:46.000
 easy

00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:47.600
 it's much

00:18:47.600 --> 00:18:48.319
 more difficult

00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:49.480
 when our

00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:50.220
 individual

00:18:50.220 --> 00:18:51.140
 sins of

00:18:51.140 --> 00:18:51.720
 pride

00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:52.960
 and selfishness

00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:53.839
 are mixed

00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:54.460
 into that

00:18:54.460 --> 00:18:55.500
 a successful

00:18:55.500 --> 00:18:56.160
 marriage

00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:57.079
 is when

00:18:57.079 --> 00:18:57.700
 two are

00:18:57.700 --> 00:18:58.059
 in it

00:18:58.059 --> 00:18:58.600
 together

00:18:58.600 --> 00:19:00.400
 committing

00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:00.960
 to each

00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:01.140
 other

00:19:01.140 --> 00:19:01.660
 forgiving

00:19:01.660 --> 00:19:02.279
 one another

00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:03.420
 looking past

00:19:03.420 --> 00:19:04.000
 the other's

00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:04.519
 actions

00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:04.960
 in the

00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:05.339
 difficult

00:19:05.339 --> 00:19:06.039
 times

00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:07.900
 and listening

00:19:07.900 --> 00:19:08.500
 to their

00:19:08.500 --> 00:19:09.000
 hearts

00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:09.620
 and the

00:19:09.620 --> 00:19:10.519
 constrained

00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:11.240
 times

00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:13.240
 the apostle

00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:13.940
 Paul said

00:19:13.940 --> 00:19:14.519
 it's a

00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:14.900
 mystery

00:19:14.900 --> 00:19:17.079
 he said

00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:17.440
 it's a

00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:17.880
 mystery

00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:19.100
 and he said

00:19:19.100 --> 00:19:19.339
 it's a

00:19:19.339 --> 00:19:19.799
 profound

00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:20.339
 mystery

00:19:20.339 --> 00:19:22.339
 and then

00:19:22.339 --> 00:19:22.799
 he speaks

00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:23.259
 of doing

00:19:23.259 --> 00:19:23.519
 it the

00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:24.059
 right way

00:19:24.059 --> 00:19:24.339
 he says

00:19:24.339 --> 00:19:24.879
 in Ephesians

00:19:24.879 --> 00:19:25.440
 chapter 5

00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:26.000
 verse 33

00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:27.139
 he says

00:19:27.139 --> 00:19:27.980
 let each

00:19:27.980 --> 00:19:28.680
 one of you

00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:29.240
 love his

00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:30.000
 wife as

00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:30.579
 himself

00:19:30.579 --> 00:19:31.359
 and let

00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:31.980
 the wife

00:19:31.980 --> 00:19:32.579
 see that

00:19:32.579 --> 00:19:33.440
 she respects

00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:34.619
 her husband

00:19:34.619 --> 00:19:37.539
 that's not

00:19:37.539 --> 00:19:38.259
 always easy

00:19:38.259 --> 00:19:41.720
 because our

00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:42.419
 relationship

00:19:42.419 --> 00:19:44.099
 will be

00:19:44.099 --> 00:19:44.779
 marked

00:19:44.779 --> 00:19:47.119
 by rivalry

00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:50.279
 and right

00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:51.160
 here in

00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:51.899
 the third

00:19:51.899 --> 00:19:52.839
 chapter of

00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:53.399
 a very

00:19:53.399 --> 00:19:54.220
 large book

00:19:54.220 --> 00:19:54.899
 with 66

00:19:54.899 --> 00:19:55.579
 books in

00:19:55.579 --> 00:19:55.779
 it

00:19:55.779 --> 00:19:56.960
 it's already

00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:57.700
 telling us

00:19:57.700 --> 00:19:58.099
 that

00:19:58.099 --> 00:19:58.759
 folks

00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:01.160
 so what

00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:01.359
 do we

00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:01.660
 do

00:20:01.660 --> 00:20:04.279
 we become

00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:05.019
 well aware

00:20:05.019 --> 00:20:05.480
 of the

00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:06.180
 challenge

00:20:06.180 --> 00:20:07.740
 that is

00:20:07.740 --> 00:20:08.440
 upon us

00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:10.259
 and number

00:20:10.259 --> 00:20:10.619
 two

00:20:10.619 --> 00:20:12.000
 we respond

00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:12.639
 correctly

00:20:12.639 --> 00:20:15.139
 do we

00:20:15.139 --> 00:20:16.159
 get it done

00:20:16.159 --> 00:20:17.139
 100% of the

00:20:17.139 --> 00:20:17.359
 time

00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:18.099
 by no means

00:20:18.099 --> 00:20:18.779
 we don't

00:20:18.779 --> 00:20:19.979
 so be

00:20:19.979 --> 00:20:20.479
 reminded

00:20:20.479 --> 00:20:22.419
 that there

00:20:22.419 --> 00:20:22.719
 will be

00:20:22.719 --> 00:20:23.199
 difficulty

00:20:23.199 --> 00:20:23.659
 along the

00:20:23.659 --> 00:20:23.899
 way

00:20:23.899 --> 00:20:25.599
 and that

00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:25.899
 we're to

00:20:25.899 --> 00:20:26.239
 work at

00:20:26.239 --> 00:20:26.959
 that difficulty

00:20:26.959 --> 00:20:28.359
 and make

00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:28.759
 it better

00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:29.579
 not only

00:20:29.579 --> 00:20:29.959
 that

00:20:29.959 --> 00:20:30.519
 but he

00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:31.079
 says this

00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:31.899
 when sin

00:20:31.899 --> 00:20:32.739
 gets mixed

00:20:32.740 --> 00:20:33.099
 in

00:20:33.099 --> 00:20:35.099
 our

00:20:35.099 --> 00:20:35.980
 prosperity

00:20:35.980 --> 00:20:37.480
 will be

00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:38.079
 accompanied

00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:39.339
 with pain

00:20:39.339 --> 00:20:41.539
 he says

00:20:41.539 --> 00:20:41.900
 in verse

00:20:41.900 --> 00:20:42.660
 17 through

00:20:42.660 --> 00:20:43.099
 19

00:20:43.099 --> 00:20:43.920
 and Adam

00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:44.460
 he said

00:20:44.460 --> 00:20:45.599
 because you

00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:46.160
 have listened

00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:46.740
 to the voice

00:20:46.740 --> 00:20:47.039
 of your

00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:47.539
 wife

00:20:47.539 --> 00:20:48.559
 and have

00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:48.940
 eaten of

00:20:48.940 --> 00:20:49.299
 the tree

00:20:49.299 --> 00:20:49.620
 of which

00:20:49.620 --> 00:20:50.120
 I commanded

00:20:50.120 --> 00:20:50.480
 you

00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:51.980
 you shall

00:20:51.980 --> 00:20:52.339
 not eat

00:20:52.339 --> 00:20:52.960
 of it

00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:54.059
 cursed

00:20:54.059 --> 00:20:54.500
 is the

00:20:54.500 --> 00:20:54.940
 ground

00:20:54.940 --> 00:20:55.599
 because

00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:56.279
 of you

00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:59.200
 in pain

00:20:59.200 --> 00:20:59.740
 you shall

00:20:59.740 --> 00:21:00.180
 eat

00:21:00.180 --> 00:21:01.039
 of it

00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:01.420
 all the

00:21:01.420 --> 00:21:01.740
 days of

00:21:01.740 --> 00:21:02.180
 your life

00:21:02.180 --> 00:21:02.599
 thorns

00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:03.199
 and thistles

00:21:03.199 --> 00:21:03.579
 it shall

00:21:03.579 --> 00:21:04.119
 bring forth

00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:04.639
 for you

00:21:04.639 --> 00:21:05.259
 and you

00:21:05.259 --> 00:21:05.779
 shall eat

00:21:05.779 --> 00:21:06.539
 the plants

00:21:06.539 --> 00:21:07.679
 of the

00:21:07.679 --> 00:21:08.019
 field

00:21:08.019 --> 00:21:08.819
 by the

00:21:08.819 --> 00:21:09.279
 sweat

00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:09.759
 of your

00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:10.240
 face

00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:10.639
 you shall

00:21:10.639 --> 00:21:10.879
 eat

00:21:10.879 --> 00:21:11.199
 bread

00:21:11.199 --> 00:21:11.859
 till you

00:21:11.859 --> 00:21:12.240
 return

00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:12.480
 to the

00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:12.740
 ground

00:21:12.740 --> 00:21:13.139
 for out

00:21:13.139 --> 00:21:13.319
 of it

00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:13.559
 you were

00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:13.819
 taken

00:21:13.819 --> 00:21:14.179
 for you

00:21:14.179 --> 00:21:14.639
 are dust

00:21:14.639 --> 00:21:14.879
 and the

00:21:14.879 --> 00:21:15.099
 dust

00:21:15.099 --> 00:21:15.459
 you shall

00:21:15.459 --> 00:21:15.899
 return

00:21:15.899 --> 00:21:18.240
 we have

00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:18.879
 an opportunity

00:21:18.879 --> 00:21:19.240
 in our

00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:19.539
 lives

00:21:19.539 --> 00:21:19.879
 to be

00:21:19.879 --> 00:21:20.699
 productive

00:21:20.699 --> 00:21:21.839
 prosperous

00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:22.500
 people

00:21:22.500 --> 00:21:23.759
 I'm not

00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:24.099
 talking about

00:21:24.099 --> 00:21:24.599
 fame or

00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:24.919
 glory

00:21:24.919 --> 00:21:25.319
 I'm talking

00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:26.139
 about lives

00:21:26.139 --> 00:21:27.059
 of purpose

00:21:27.059 --> 00:21:28.919
 lives of

00:21:28.919 --> 00:21:29.480
 meaning

00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:31.059
 lives of

00:21:31.059 --> 00:21:31.719
 direction

00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:33.360
 we have

00:21:33.360 --> 00:21:34.240
 that opportunity

00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:36.480
 but nothing

00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:37.220
 interrupts our

00:21:37.220 --> 00:21:37.779
 productivity

00:21:37.779 --> 00:21:39.299
 nothing hurts

00:21:39.299 --> 00:21:40.000
 our potential

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:41.200
 nothing hinders

00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:41.799
 our purpose

00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:42.380
 more than

00:21:42.380 --> 00:21:43.240
 individual sin

00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:43.559
 can

00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:44.680
 nothing will

00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:45.019
 come in the

00:21:45.019 --> 00:21:45.559
 way much

00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:45.880
 more than

00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:46.240
 that

00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:47.620
 verse 17

00:21:47.620 --> 00:21:48.059
 and 18

00:21:48.059 --> 00:21:48.819
 speaks of

00:21:48.819 --> 00:21:49.240
 the most

00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:50.640
 basic example

00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:51.519
 of productivity

00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:53.319
 it really

00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:54.120
 applies to

00:21:54.120 --> 00:21:54.779
 all that we

00:21:54.779 --> 00:21:55.420
 do however

00:21:55.420 --> 00:21:56.980
 because when

00:21:56.980 --> 00:21:57.600
 sin enters

00:21:57.600 --> 00:21:57.940
 in

00:21:57.940 --> 00:21:59.560
 opportunities

00:21:59.560 --> 00:22:00.300
 are lost

00:22:00.300 --> 00:22:02.300
 when sin

00:22:02.300 --> 00:22:02.759
 enters in

00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:03.539
 productivity

00:22:03.539 --> 00:22:04.560
 is slowed

00:22:04.560 --> 00:22:05.840
 vitality

00:22:05.840 --> 00:22:06.039
 is

00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:07.759
 struggling

00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:08.160
 and the

00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:08.980
 prosperity

00:22:08.980 --> 00:22:09.880
 is restricted

00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:11.560
 this garden

00:22:11.560 --> 00:22:12.440
 of vibrance

00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:13.259
 and vitality

00:22:13.259 --> 00:22:13.860
 is gone

00:22:13.860 --> 00:22:15.080
 and now

00:22:15.080 --> 00:22:15.800
 thorns

00:22:15.800 --> 00:22:16.700
 cause toil

00:22:16.700 --> 00:22:17.420
 and thistles

00:22:17.420 --> 00:22:18.900
 cause turmoil

00:22:18.900 --> 00:22:20.060
 in our lives

00:22:20.060 --> 00:22:21.360
 we're now

00:22:21.360 --> 00:22:21.759
 at odds

00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:22.060
 with the

00:22:22.060 --> 00:22:22.500
 ground

00:22:22.500 --> 00:22:23.779
 the very

00:22:23.779 --> 00:22:24.579
 place that

00:22:24.579 --> 00:22:25.259
 man came

00:22:25.259 --> 00:22:25.680
 from

00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:26.279
 we're now

00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:26.680
 at odds

00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:27.200
 with it

00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:27.960
 because of

00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:28.279
 sin

00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:29.799
 thorns

00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:30.599
 and thistles

00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:31.460
 here serve

00:22:31.460 --> 00:22:32.539
 as God's

00:22:32.539 --> 00:22:33.180
 illustration

00:22:33.180 --> 00:22:33.859
 to us

00:22:33.859 --> 00:22:35.319
 of the pain

00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:36.220
 and the toil

00:22:36.220 --> 00:22:36.880
 that sin

00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:37.400
 causes

00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:39.319
 and now

00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:40.099
 due to sin

00:22:40.099 --> 00:22:41.940
 life will be

00:22:41.940 --> 00:22:42.420
 lived

00:22:42.420 --> 00:22:43.759
 by what he

00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:44.079
 says in

00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:44.759
 verse 19

00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:45.559
 by the sweat

00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:46.359
 of our face

00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:47.960
 I want you

00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:48.200
 to think

00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:48.740
 about this

00:22:48.740 --> 00:22:50.980
 our mistakes

00:22:50.980 --> 00:22:53.160
 make our

00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:53.900
 rose bushes

00:22:53.900 --> 00:22:54.740
 have thorns

00:22:54.740 --> 00:22:57.279
 and I mean

00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:57.779
 that both

00:22:57.779 --> 00:22:58.240
 physically

00:22:58.240 --> 00:22:58.799
 from what he

00:22:58.799 --> 00:22:59.200
 said

00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:00.160
 but I mean

00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:00.579
 that much

00:23:00.579 --> 00:23:01.319
 more spiritually

00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:04.059
 the things

00:23:04.059 --> 00:23:04.380
 that ought to

00:23:04.380 --> 00:23:04.880
 be rosy

00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:05.539
 in our life

00:23:05.539 --> 00:23:06.740
 become thorny

00:23:06.740 --> 00:23:07.200
 because of

00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:07.519
 sin

00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:09.319
 our sin

00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:09.960
 makes our

00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:10.660
 lives more

00:23:10.660 --> 00:23:11.220
 difficult

00:23:11.220 --> 00:23:13.059
 why is life

00:23:13.059 --> 00:23:13.680
 such a struggle

00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:14.299
 of sinfulness

00:23:14.299 --> 00:23:14.940
 is what it is

00:23:14.940 --> 00:23:15.839
 it invades

00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:16.299
 all of our

00:23:16.299 --> 00:23:16.579
 lives

00:23:16.579 --> 00:23:17.079
 every part

00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:17.279
 of it

00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:17.620
 it invades

00:23:17.620 --> 00:23:18.180
 our soul

00:23:18.180 --> 00:23:18.480
 and there's

00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:18.980
 a spiritual

00:23:18.980 --> 00:23:19.500
 battle that

00:23:19.500 --> 00:23:20.140
 takes place

00:23:20.140 --> 00:23:21.220
 and the

00:23:21.220 --> 00:23:21.580
 serpent

00:23:21.580 --> 00:23:22.480
 is ever

00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:23.060
 pursuing

00:23:23.060 --> 00:23:24.540
 he didn't

00:23:24.540 --> 00:23:25.100
 stop in the

00:23:25.100 --> 00:23:25.360
 garden

00:23:25.360 --> 00:23:25.880
 he's ever

00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:26.420
 pursuing

00:23:26.420 --> 00:23:27.800
 they're now

00:23:27.800 --> 00:23:28.380
 relational

00:23:28.380 --> 00:23:29.100
 battles

00:23:29.100 --> 00:23:30.920
 sin even

00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:31.460
 invades

00:23:31.460 --> 00:23:31.880
 how we

00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:32.420
 survive

00:23:32.420 --> 00:23:33.600
 we face

00:23:33.600 --> 00:23:34.180
 struggles

00:23:34.180 --> 00:23:35.200
 until we

00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:35.600
 turn to the

00:23:35.600 --> 00:23:36.020
 ground

00:23:36.020 --> 00:23:36.880
 but I want

00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:37.180
 you to be

00:23:37.180 --> 00:23:37.660
 clear about

00:23:37.660 --> 00:23:38.080
 something

00:23:38.080 --> 00:23:39.740
 we will

00:23:39.740 --> 00:23:40.560
 never be

00:23:40.560 --> 00:23:41.140
 able to

00:23:41.140 --> 00:23:41.580
 live our

00:23:41.580 --> 00:23:42.160
 lives

00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:43.140
 to what

00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:43.500
 God

00:23:43.500 --> 00:23:43.960
 intended

00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:44.420
 for us

00:23:44.420 --> 00:23:44.860
 to be

00:23:44.860 --> 00:23:46.259
 if we

00:23:46.259 --> 00:23:46.980
 are sinful

00:23:46.980 --> 00:23:48.180
 if we

00:23:48.180 --> 00:23:48.900
 are selfish

00:23:48.900 --> 00:23:50.060
 if we

00:23:50.060 --> 00:23:50.600
 have

00:23:50.600 --> 00:23:51.220
 hindering

00:23:51.220 --> 00:23:52.240
 strongholds

00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:52.940
 in our

00:23:52.940 --> 00:23:53.460
 lives

00:23:53.460 --> 00:23:55.140
 and that's

00:23:55.140 --> 00:23:55.560
 what this

00:23:55.560 --> 00:23:56.300
 warns us

00:23:56.300 --> 00:23:56.620
 of

00:23:56.620 --> 00:23:58.100
 so what

00:23:58.100 --> 00:23:58.340
 can we

00:23:58.340 --> 00:23:58.780
 do about

00:23:58.780 --> 00:23:59.259
 it

00:23:59.259 --> 00:24:00.660
 stop

00:24:00.660 --> 00:24:01.160
 living our

00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:01.320
 own

00:24:01.320 --> 00:24:01.500
 lives

00:24:01.500 --> 00:24:01.740
 stop

00:24:01.740 --> 00:24:02.100
 leading

00:24:02.100 --> 00:24:02.360
 our

00:24:02.360 --> 00:24:02.540
 own

00:24:02.540 --> 00:24:03.120
 lives

00:24:03.120 --> 00:24:05.480
 you can't

00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:06.100
 handle it

00:24:06.100 --> 00:24:08.100
 I can't

00:24:08.100 --> 00:24:08.820
 handle it

00:24:08.820 --> 00:24:10.860
 we gotta let

00:24:10.860 --> 00:24:11.220
 the Lord

00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:11.600
 lead our

00:24:11.600 --> 00:24:12.019
 lives

00:24:12.019 --> 00:24:13.360
 we've got

00:24:13.360 --> 00:24:13.820
 to submit

00:24:13.820 --> 00:24:14.280
 ourselves

00:24:14.280 --> 00:24:14.720
 to God

00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:15.320
 and let

00:24:15.320 --> 00:24:15.720
 him lead

00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:16.560
 we'll never

00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:17.399
 be sufficient

00:24:17.399 --> 00:24:18.799
 we'll always

00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:19.019
 have

00:24:19.019 --> 00:24:19.740
 difficulties

00:24:19.740 --> 00:24:22.779
 and that

00:24:22.779 --> 00:24:23.460
 would really

00:24:23.460 --> 00:24:24.000
 stink

00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:24.899
 if that's

00:24:24.899 --> 00:24:25.139
 where I

00:24:25.139 --> 00:24:25.419
 had to

00:24:25.419 --> 00:24:26.019
 end today

00:24:26.019 --> 00:24:27.899
 but thank

00:24:27.899 --> 00:24:28.319
 God

00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:29.359
 we don't

00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:29.879
 stop there

00:24:29.879 --> 00:24:30.700
 because God

00:24:30.700 --> 00:24:31.480
 knew all

00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:31.799
 of our

00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:32.159
 sin

00:24:32.159 --> 00:24:34.240
 God knows

00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:35.019
 the messes

00:24:35.019 --> 00:24:35.819
 they cause

00:24:35.819 --> 00:24:37.059
 he knew

00:24:37.059 --> 00:24:37.839
 all of that

00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:38.599
 when Christ

00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:39.059
 went to the

00:24:39.059 --> 00:24:39.579
 cross

00:24:39.579 --> 00:24:41.159
 and when

00:24:41.159 --> 00:24:41.940
 Christ died

00:24:41.940 --> 00:24:42.779
 for our sins

00:24:42.779 --> 00:24:43.299
 and because

00:24:43.299 --> 00:24:44.099
 of Christ

00:24:44.099 --> 00:24:46.119
 thank God

00:24:46.119 --> 00:24:46.659
 this is not

00:24:46.659 --> 00:24:47.000
 all there

00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:47.439
 is

00:24:47.439 --> 00:24:49.039
 and because

00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:49.679
 of Christ

00:24:49.679 --> 00:24:50.679
 we don't

00:24:50.679 --> 00:24:51.079
 have to

00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:51.519
 stay in

00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:51.819
 sinful

00:24:51.819 --> 00:24:52.299
 patterns

00:24:52.299 --> 00:24:53.879
 we don't

00:24:53.879 --> 00:24:54.259
 have to

00:24:54.259 --> 00:24:54.799
 continue to

00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:55.179
 live like

00:24:55.179 --> 00:24:55.539
 that

00:24:55.539 --> 00:24:56.939
 we're still

00:24:56.939 --> 00:24:57.879
 gonna feel

00:24:57.879 --> 00:24:58.559
 some junk

00:24:58.559 --> 00:24:59.059
 that comes

00:24:59.059 --> 00:24:59.439
 from it

00:24:59.439 --> 00:24:59.980
 because we're

00:24:59.980 --> 00:25:00.740
 surrounded by

00:25:00.740 --> 00:25:01.299
 it folks

00:25:01.299 --> 00:25:02.679
 I mean

00:25:02.679 --> 00:25:02.899
 we're

00:25:02.899 --> 00:25:03.299
 surrounded

00:25:03.299 --> 00:25:04.500
 by it

00:25:04.500 --> 00:25:06.799
 if you

00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:07.419
 win victory

00:25:07.419 --> 00:25:07.839
 over a

00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:08.279
 stronghold

00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:08.559
 in your

00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:08.959
 life

00:25:08.959 --> 00:25:09.219
 and you

00:25:09.219 --> 00:25:09.719
 walk away

00:25:09.719 --> 00:25:10.240
 from something

00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:10.539
 that you

00:25:10.539 --> 00:25:10.779
 need to

00:25:10.779 --> 00:25:11.259
 walk away

00:25:11.259 --> 00:25:11.579
 from

00:25:11.579 --> 00:25:13.319
 you'll

00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:13.720
 still have

00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:14.179
 difficulty

00:25:14.179 --> 00:25:14.480
 in your

00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:14.759
 life

00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:15.119
 because

00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:15.539
 you're

00:25:15.539 --> 00:25:16.079
 surrounded

00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:17.019
 by folks

00:25:17.019 --> 00:25:18.179
 if not

00:25:18.179 --> 00:25:18.480
 with that

00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:18.839
 problem

00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:19.460
 some other

00:25:19.460 --> 00:25:20.019
 problem

00:25:20.019 --> 00:25:23.960
 we can

00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:24.740
 be surrounded

00:25:24.740 --> 00:25:25.299
 by it

00:25:25.299 --> 00:25:25.619
 but we

00:25:25.619 --> 00:25:25.939
 don't have

00:25:25.939 --> 00:25:26.220
 to be

00:25:26.220 --> 00:25:26.559
 guilty

00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:27.039
 of it

00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:28.480
 we don't

00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:28.779
 have to

00:25:28.779 --> 00:25:29.500
 fall for

00:25:29.500 --> 00:25:29.759
 it

00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:31.639
 we don't

00:25:31.639 --> 00:25:32.179
 have to

00:25:32.179 --> 00:25:32.740
 stay

00:25:32.740 --> 00:25:33.539
 in sinful

00:25:33.539 --> 00:25:34.199
 patterns

00:25:34.199 --> 00:25:35.460
 that hurt

00:25:35.460 --> 00:25:36.460
 we don't

00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:36.799
 have to

00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:37.319
 stay in

00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:37.619
 sinful

00:25:37.619 --> 00:25:38.099
 patterns

00:25:38.099 --> 00:25:38.839
 that strain

00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:39.659
 we don't

00:25:39.659 --> 00:25:40.000
 have to

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:40.599
 stay in

00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:40.899
 sinful

00:25:40.899 --> 00:25:41.339
 patterns

00:25:41.339 --> 00:25:41.799
 that cause

00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:42.419
 difficulty

00:25:42.419 --> 00:25:43.659
 and because

00:25:43.659 --> 00:25:44.240
 of Christ

00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:45.000
 we can

00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:45.699
 now have

00:25:45.699 --> 00:25:46.299
 harmony

00:25:46.299 --> 00:25:48.079
 those thorns

00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:48.539
 of our

00:25:48.539 --> 00:25:49.579
 those thorns

00:25:49.579 --> 00:25:49.919
 that our

00:25:49.919 --> 00:25:50.659
 sin caused

00:25:50.659 --> 00:25:53.079
 let me tell you

00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:53.539
 what else

00:25:53.539 --> 00:25:54.059
 those thorns

00:25:54.059 --> 00:25:54.439
 did

00:25:54.439 --> 00:25:56.740
 it was

00:25:56.740 --> 00:25:57.539
 those thorns

00:25:57.539 --> 00:25:59.679
 that he

00:25:59.679 --> 00:26:00.399
 brought about

00:26:00.399 --> 00:26:02.299
 in a curse

00:26:02.299 --> 00:26:02.879
 of sin

00:26:02.879 --> 00:26:05.319
 that they

00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:05.859
 made

00:26:05.859 --> 00:26:07.339
 the Lord's

00:26:07.339 --> 00:26:07.919
 crown out

00:26:07.919 --> 00:26:08.179
 of

00:26:08.179 --> 00:26:10.559
 and placed

00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:10.839
 it on

00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:11.339
 his head

00:26:11.339 --> 00:26:13.319
 as he

00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:13.579
 went to

00:26:13.579 --> 00:26:14.159
 the cross

00:26:14.159 --> 00:26:16.919
 what does

00:26:16.919 --> 00:26:17.179
 that have

00:26:17.179 --> 00:26:17.419
 to do

00:26:17.419 --> 00:26:17.779
 with it

00:26:17.779 --> 00:26:19.399
 because he

00:26:19.399 --> 00:26:19.960
 went because

00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:20.259
 of our

00:26:20.259 --> 00:26:20.579
 sin

00:26:20.579 --> 00:26:23.159
 he died

00:26:23.159 --> 00:26:23.539
 for our

00:26:23.539 --> 00:26:24.000
 sins

00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:26.279
 he died

00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:26.639
 to take

00:26:26.639 --> 00:26:27.379
 the ramifications

00:26:27.379 --> 00:26:27.960
 of all those

00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:28.440
 things away

00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:28.799
 from us

00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:29.379
 to help

00:26:29.379 --> 00:26:29.919
 us to walk

00:26:29.919 --> 00:26:30.319
 away from

00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:30.460
 that

00:26:30.460 --> 00:26:31.220
 we're free

00:26:31.220 --> 00:26:31.720
 from all

00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:32.139
 of that

00:26:32.139 --> 00:26:33.139
 we're only

00:26:33.139 --> 00:26:33.740
 free from

00:26:33.740 --> 00:26:34.139
 that in

00:26:34.139 --> 00:26:34.599
 him

00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:36.419
 we're only

00:26:36.419 --> 00:26:36.839
 free from

00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:37.240
 that if we

00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:37.759
 continue to

00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:38.179
 surrender our

00:26:38.180 --> 00:26:38.720
 lives to

00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:39.039
 him

00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:39.880
 and I

00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:40.400
 believe that's

00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:41.060
 a daily

00:26:41.060 --> 00:26:41.740
 deal and

00:26:41.740 --> 00:26:42.740
 Jesus agrees

00:26:42.740 --> 00:26:43.200
 with me on

00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:43.500
 that

00:26:43.500 --> 00:26:46.120
 we got to

00:26:46.120 --> 00:26:46.840
 deny ourselves

00:26:46.840 --> 00:26:47.259
 daily

00:26:47.259 --> 00:26:49.519
 we can walk

00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:49.980
 free from

00:26:49.980 --> 00:26:50.340
 that we

00:26:50.340 --> 00:26:50.820
 have hope

00:26:50.820 --> 00:26:51.420
 even when

00:26:51.420 --> 00:26:52.120
 sin is mixed

00:26:52.120 --> 00:26:53.100
 in we have

00:26:53.100 --> 00:26:53.759
 hope because

00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:54.380
 of him

00:26:54.380 --> 00:26:56.340
 and so let's

00:26:56.340 --> 00:26:56.960
 live our lives

00:26:56.960 --> 00:26:57.480
 for him

00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:59.279
 let's ease

00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:00.100
 the difficulty

00:27:00.100 --> 00:27:01.180
 that we face

00:27:01.180 --> 00:27:02.500
 in this

00:27:02.500 --> 00:27:03.140
 sin torn

00:27:03.140 --> 00:27:03.620
 world

00:27:03.620 --> 00:27:04.220
 the world

00:27:04.220 --> 00:27:05.920
 needs

00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:06.500
 Jesus

00:27:06.500 --> 00:27:07.080
 folks

00:27:07.080 --> 00:27:08.240
 have you

00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:08.720
 picked up

00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:09.080
 on that

00:27:09.080 --> 00:27:09.440
 yet

00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:12.800
 we're in

00:27:12.800 --> 00:27:13.360
 desperate

00:27:13.360 --> 00:27:13.779
 need of

00:27:13.779 --> 00:27:14.259
 the Lord

00:27:14.259 --> 00:27:16.160
 but you

00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:16.580
 know what

00:27:16.580 --> 00:27:17.140
 you know

00:27:17.140 --> 00:27:17.580
 who needs

00:27:17.580 --> 00:27:18.060
 Jesus

00:27:18.060 --> 00:27:20.200
 it ain't

00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:20.580
 all those

00:27:20.580 --> 00:27:21.080
 folks out

00:27:21.080 --> 00:27:21.440
 there

00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:23.640
 I mean

00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:24.300
 it is

00:27:24.300 --> 00:27:26.279
 but it's

00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:26.640
 not just

00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:27.000
 them

00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:29.259
 it's right

00:27:29.259 --> 00:27:29.620
 here

00:27:29.620 --> 00:27:32.460
 we all

00:27:32.460 --> 00:27:32.800
 need

00:27:32.800 --> 00:27:33.360
 Christ

00:27:33.360 --> 00:27:35.279
 in our

00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:35.800
 lives

00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:37.940
 and if

00:27:37.940 --> 00:27:38.279
 you've

00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:38.799
 never

00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:39.779
 asked the

00:27:39.779 --> 00:27:39.940
 Lord

00:27:39.940 --> 00:27:40.279
 Jesus

00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:40.759
 to forgive

00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:41.019
 you of

00:27:41.019 --> 00:27:41.539
 your sins

00:27:41.539 --> 00:27:41.779
 and to

00:27:41.779 --> 00:27:42.099
 come into

00:27:42.099 --> 00:27:42.579
 your life

00:27:42.579 --> 00:27:42.819
 and to

00:27:42.819 --> 00:27:43.099
 cleanse

00:27:43.099 --> 00:27:43.279
 you

00:27:43.279 --> 00:27:43.539
 and to

00:27:43.539 --> 00:27:43.899
 change

00:27:43.899 --> 00:27:44.299
 you

00:27:44.299 --> 00:27:45.680
 I got

00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:46.200
 news for

00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:46.500
 you

00:27:46.500 --> 00:27:47.480
 you're

00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:47.839
 missing

00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:48.279
 out

00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:49.259
 on the

00:27:49.259 --> 00:27:49.700
 best

00:27:49.700 --> 00:27:50.079
 thing

00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:50.440
 that you

00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:50.740
 could ever

00:27:50.740 --> 00:27:51.139
 have

00:27:51.139 --> 00:27:52.399
 is the

00:27:52.399 --> 00:27:52.740
 forgiveness

00:27:52.740 --> 00:27:53.299
 of God

00:27:53.299 --> 00:27:55.159
 the eternal

00:27:55.159 --> 00:27:55.819
 life that he

00:27:55.819 --> 00:27:56.299
 gives

00:27:56.299 --> 00:27:57.940
 the way that he

00:27:57.940 --> 00:27:58.619
 changes our

00:27:58.619 --> 00:27:59.180
 lives

00:27:59.180 --> 00:28:00.440
 is powerful

00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:02.339
 if you will

00:28:02.339 --> 00:28:02.899
 bow your heads

00:28:02.899 --> 00:28:03.419
 and close your

00:28:03.419 --> 00:28:04.019
 eyes for just a

00:28:04.019 --> 00:28:04.200
 moment

00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.460
 you may be

00:28:07.460 --> 00:28:07.960
 here and you

00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:08.380
 know you're

00:28:08.380 --> 00:28:08.860
 a Christian

00:28:08.860 --> 00:28:10.980
 but the reality

00:28:10.980 --> 00:28:11.759
 is there's sinful

00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:12.660
 strongholds in your

00:28:12.660 --> 00:28:13.500
 life that you need

00:28:13.500 --> 00:28:14.059
 to give over to

00:28:14.059 --> 00:28:14.460
 the Lord

00:28:14.460 --> 00:28:18.480
 let's first look

00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:19.319
 inside ourselves

00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:19.900
 and see what's

00:28:19.900 --> 00:28:20.779
 going on with us

00:28:20.779 --> 00:28:23.039
 what do we need

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:23.700
 to deal with

00:28:23.700 --> 00:28:26.600
 and then when we

00:28:26.600 --> 00:28:27.000
 do that

00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:28.740
 let's think

00:28:28.740 --> 00:28:29.539
 about those

00:28:29.539 --> 00:28:30.259
 others that

00:28:30.259 --> 00:28:31.460
 we have burdens

00:28:31.460 --> 00:28:32.360
 for that struggle

00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:35.039
 that we need

00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:35.539
 to have a

00:28:35.539 --> 00:28:36.279
 prayer commitment

00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:39.399
 to pray

00:28:39.399 --> 00:28:39.939
 for them

00:28:39.939 --> 00:28:41.459
 God would

00:28:41.459 --> 00:28:41.859
 strengthen

00:28:41.859 --> 00:28:42.259
 them

00:28:42.259 --> 00:28:44.839
 God would

00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:45.139
 give them

00:28:45.139 --> 00:28:45.479
 all they

00:28:45.479 --> 00:28:45.799
 need

00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:50.859
 maybe you're

00:28:50.859 --> 00:28:51.240
 here and you

00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:51.899
 got a sinful

00:28:51.899 --> 00:28:52.539
 burden you need

00:28:52.539 --> 00:28:53.059
 to lay before

00:28:53.059 --> 00:28:53.539
 the Lord

00:28:53.539 --> 00:28:55.219
 you can do

00:28:55.219 --> 00:28:55.719
 that where you

00:28:55.719 --> 00:28:56.259
 are you can do

00:28:56.259 --> 00:28:56.579
 it at this

00:28:56.579 --> 00:28:56.919
 altar

00:28:56.919 --> 00:29:00.039
 maybe you're

00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:00.619
 here and God's

00:29:00.619 --> 00:29:01.179
 drawing you to

00:29:01.180 --> 00:29:01.940
 this church you

00:29:01.940 --> 00:29:02.880
 feel like this

00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:03.519
 is the place

00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:04.200
 where God would

00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:04.640
 have you to

00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:05.480
 plant your life

00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:08.180
 and I encourage

00:29:08.180 --> 00:29:08.620
 you to come

00:29:08.620 --> 00:29:09.279
 I'll be happy to

00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:09.960
 guide you in that

00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:10.560
 process

00:29:10.560 --> 00:29:14.039
 maybe you've made

00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:14.799
 a private decision

00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:15.460
 for the Lord but

00:29:15.460 --> 00:29:15.900
 you've never been

00:29:15.900 --> 00:29:16.740
 baptized as a believer

00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:17.340
 you've never

00:29:17.340 --> 00:29:19.299
 surrendered publicly

00:29:19.299 --> 00:29:21.180
 let others know

00:29:21.180 --> 00:29:21.820
 what God's done

00:29:21.820 --> 00:29:22.259
 in your heart

00:29:22.259 --> 00:29:22.759
 privately

00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:23.519
 we'd love to

00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:24.140
 guide you in that

00:29:24.140 --> 00:29:24.400
 too

00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:26.120
 I have no way

00:29:26.120 --> 00:29:26.600
 of knowing what

00:29:26.600 --> 00:29:27.299
 God's doing in

00:29:27.299 --> 00:29:27.740
 your heart and

00:29:27.740 --> 00:29:28.440
 life right now

00:29:28.440 --> 00:29:29.100
 I don't know

00:29:29.099 --> 00:29:31.779
 but I'll tell

00:29:31.779 --> 00:29:32.279
 you you can

00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:32.879
 trust him

00:29:32.879 --> 00:29:34.339
 you can trust

00:29:34.339 --> 00:29:34.639
 him

00:29:34.639 --> 00:29:36.439
 he'll save

00:29:36.439 --> 00:29:36.819
 you

00:29:36.819 --> 00:29:38.519
 he'll cleanse

00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:38.919
 you

00:29:38.919 --> 00:29:40.480
 he'll lead

00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:40.719
 you

00:29:40.719 --> 00:29:41.399
 he'll guide

00:29:41.399 --> 00:29:41.719
 you

00:29:41.719 --> 00:29:42.699
 if you'll

00:29:42.699 --> 00:29:43.199
 just follow

00:29:43.199 --> 00:29:43.619
 him

00:29:43.619 --> 00:29:45.779
 Lord Jesus

00:29:45.779 --> 00:29:46.559
 I ask

00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:47.939
 that you'll

00:29:47.939 --> 00:29:48.359
 lead us

00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:48.779
 today

00:29:48.779 --> 00:29:50.039
 to simply

00:29:50.039 --> 00:29:50.740
 be obedient

00:29:50.740 --> 00:29:51.319
 to do

00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:52.679
 exactly what

00:29:52.679 --> 00:29:53.039
 you'd have

00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:53.519
 us to do

00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:54.240
 right now

00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:54.959
 oh God

00:29:54.959 --> 00:29:55.439
 I pray

00:29:55.439 --> 00:29:56.619
 in Jesus

00:29:56.619 --> 00:29:57.539
 precious name

00:29:57.539 --> 00:29:58.379
 amen
