WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.099
 Let's pray together, shall we, as we sit.

00:00:04.520 --> 00:00:08.480
 Heavenly Father, we thank you for your word,

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:11.580
 and Lord, we thank you that the Lord Jesus taught

00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:13.339
 that your word is truth,

00:00:13.939 --> 00:00:17.780
 and that your truth can set people like us free.

00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:23.000
 And so, Father, we ask now that in this quiet hour

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:24.920
 you would send your Spirit,

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:29.000
 that we might discern your truth,

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:31.480
 and your truth would indeed free us

00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.100
 to be the people you call us to be,

00:00:34.740 --> 00:00:37.159
 in Jesus Christ our Lord.

00:00:37.980 --> 00:00:38.399
 Amen.

00:00:40.420 --> 00:00:44.620
 I want to preach to you from that amazing verse

00:00:44.620 --> 00:00:49.480
 in chapter 5 of James, which we just had read to us,

00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.240
 where it tells us that the prayer of a righteous man

00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:55.219
 is powerful and effective.

00:00:55.859 --> 00:00:58.620
 I think in the authorised version of the Bible,

00:00:58.619 --> 00:01:00.640
 which some of you are old enough to remember,

00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:01.159
 it says,

00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:07.060
 the fervent effectual prayer of the righteous man availeth much.

00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:10.340
 You're looking so blankly at me,

00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:12.179
 that actually is English, right?

00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:15.700
 And what I want to talk to you about this morning,

00:01:15.859 --> 00:01:17.459
 and it's a bit like trying to,

00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:22.219
 it's something about healing and wholeness,

00:01:22.219 --> 00:01:25.060
 given that after communion,

00:01:25.659 --> 00:01:27.799
 those of you who would like some prayer for healing

00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:31.439
 will be invited to receive prayer for that.

00:01:32.939 --> 00:01:34.939
 Perhaps I should just say to you that

00:01:34.939 --> 00:01:38.939
 I have to, sadly, have to leave this service early,

00:01:39.700 --> 00:01:42.319
 not because anybody has offended me,

00:01:42.379 --> 00:01:44.159
 just to kind of kill speculation.

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:49.299
 Before I realised the time of the church had changed to 11.30,

00:01:49.679 --> 00:01:54.060
 we'd arranged to meet up with some people at 12.30,

00:01:54.140 --> 00:01:55.379
 and we couldn't meet anyway.

00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:59.140
 So I'd be slipping out, but it's nothing personal.

00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:06.319
 Atul Govander, in his excellent book called

00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:07.959
 On Being Mortal,

00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:14.039
 compares the death of his grandfather,

00:02:14.979 --> 00:02:18.280
 who died at the age of 109,

00:02:19.079 --> 00:02:21.879
 when he fell off his bicycle in New Delhi

00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:23.479
 and was hit by a truck.

00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:28.780
 Compares that with the death of his aunt,

00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:30.879
 who had emigrated to America

00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.400
 and died on her own at the age of 71,

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.439
 in a side room in a hospital

00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.419
 with tubes coming out of her every orifice,

00:02:42.979 --> 00:02:43.419
 alone.

00:02:46.500 --> 00:02:49.519
 And he speculates at the beginning of the book,

00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:53.219
 I should explain that he is a world-famous geriatrician.

00:02:53.340 --> 00:02:57.879
 He looks after those of us who are in our senior years.

00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:01.740
 One of his conclusions is,

00:03:01.740 --> 00:03:04.379
 the reason why his grandfather

00:03:04.379 --> 00:03:08.520
 lived such an amazing life to the age of 109,

00:03:09.600 --> 00:03:13.159
 was that his social networks ran very deep

00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:14.920
 and were very profuse.

00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.480
 Whereas his aunt who'd emigrated

00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:20.800
 into another country,

00:03:21.580 --> 00:03:24.439
 had virtually no social networks,

00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:26.639
 and ended up dying young

00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:28.719
 and dying alone.

00:03:31.219 --> 00:03:34.259
 So what I want to talk to you about today

00:03:34.259 --> 00:03:39.939
 is something that is a little tricky for us

00:03:39.939 --> 00:03:41.639
 to get our heads around, I think,

00:03:42.180 --> 00:03:46.419
 in our nation where we're all so individualistic,

00:03:46.539 --> 00:03:47.360
 and that is,

00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:51.260
 what is the collective power of a local church

00:03:51.260 --> 00:03:55.480
 in helping people be healed

00:03:55.480 --> 00:03:57.700
 and become whole?

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.880
 And when you start to think about becoming whole,

00:04:02.160 --> 00:04:03.380
 it'd be a brave person

00:04:03.380 --> 00:04:05.140
 that would put their hand up this morning

00:04:05.140 --> 00:04:05.560
 and say,

00:04:05.980 --> 00:04:07.800
 I don't need to be healed at all.

00:04:09.100 --> 00:04:11.620
 You may not have a physical complaint,

00:04:11.620 --> 00:04:14.319
 but the chances are,

00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.259
 you've got your baggage,

00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:18.300
 as we say,

00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:20.980
 from the past that affects you today.

00:04:22.379 --> 00:04:25.040
 All of us needs to be healed

00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.000
 in that sense.

00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:31.699
 I think James,

00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.019
 when he wrote his epistle,

00:04:35.459 --> 00:04:38.019
 and you'll notice that it seems like,

00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:39.480
 you know, like some of the epistles

00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:42.800
 end with a bit of just kind of closing remarks,

00:04:42.980 --> 00:04:43.100
 you know,

00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.220
 give my love to Tychicus,

00:04:45.500 --> 00:04:45.800
 you know,

00:04:45.939 --> 00:04:47.620
 and that kind of comment.

00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:49.500
 No, the last chapter of this epistle

00:04:49.500 --> 00:04:54.240
 is actually the profound focus

00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:55.379
 of the epistle.

00:04:56.980 --> 00:04:59.160
 If we were to read the whole lot,

00:04:59.259 --> 00:05:00.759
 and I know you wouldn't like that,

00:05:00.900 --> 00:05:03.379
 but if we were to read the whole lot out loud,

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:04.879
 you would see

00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.300
 that the first four and a half chapters

00:05:07.300 --> 00:05:08.620
 of the epistle of James

00:05:08.620 --> 00:05:11.600
 are describing something very significant,

00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.420
 which I want you to try and catch a vision of

00:05:14.420 --> 00:05:15.079
 this morning,

00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:16.319
 and that is

00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.360
 the amazing potential of a local church,

00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:22.579
 which is righteous,

00:05:24.019 --> 00:05:26.040
 and which is faithful.

00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:28.360
 That is to say,

00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:29.399
 a local church

00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:30.439
 where collectively

00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.000
 we are committed to live the life

00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:34.819
 that God wants for us together,

00:05:34.819 --> 00:05:37.980
 and faithful,

00:05:38.620 --> 00:05:41.040
 in that we start to believe

00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.240
 in a way that's different

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.459
 than the way we previously believed.

00:05:46.459 --> 00:05:51.299
 The fervent,

00:05:51.459 --> 00:05:52.839
 effectual prayer

00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.839
 of the faithful man

00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:56.219
 availeth much.

00:05:58.719 --> 00:05:59.939
 The Bible says that

00:05:59.939 --> 00:06:02.519
 if you're not feeling so great,

00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:04.879
 and to be fair,

00:06:04.979 --> 00:06:06.719
 there were no GPs at the time,

00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:07.939
 and some of you speculate,

00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:09.120
 no, there are any left today,

00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:09.759
 I know that.

00:06:11.919 --> 00:06:12.599
 Were there any,

00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:14.240
 there were no GPs there,

00:06:14.320 --> 00:06:15.420
 but when you were sick,

00:06:15.520 --> 00:06:16.580
 the natural thing

00:06:16.580 --> 00:06:18.100
 for the Christian community

00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:19.879
 was to invite the elders

00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:21.000
 of the church around

00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:22.180
 who would bring the oil

00:06:22.180 --> 00:06:23.420
 of anointing with them,

00:06:23.980 --> 00:06:25.360
 and would pray for you,

00:06:25.939 --> 00:06:26.960
 and anoint you.

00:06:28.460 --> 00:06:29.140
 And clearly,

00:06:29.340 --> 00:06:31.439
 James had this expectation

00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:33.500
 that when that happens,

00:06:34.020 --> 00:06:36.060
 in a righteous community,

00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:37.580
 a church that's seeking

00:06:37.580 --> 00:06:38.820
 to live righteously,

00:06:38.819 --> 00:06:41.259
 James expected

00:06:41.259 --> 00:06:42.240
 that those prayers

00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:43.279
 would be heard,

00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:45.180
 and that people

00:06:45.180 --> 00:06:46.199
 would be healed.

00:06:49.579 --> 00:06:52.439
 As so much one could say,

00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:54.000
 I sometimes feel

00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:54.899
 that talking about

00:06:54.899 --> 00:06:56.000
 healing and wholeness

00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:57.180
 is like trying to pray,

00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:59.500
 pray see Tolstoy's

00:06:59.500 --> 00:07:00.279
 War and Peace

00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:01.399
 in 50 words.

00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:04.719
 But I just want to say

00:07:04.719 --> 00:07:05.620
 two other things

00:07:05.620 --> 00:07:08.300
 by way of introduction.

00:07:09.599 --> 00:07:11.259
 The first is this.

00:07:13.259 --> 00:07:14.899
 I want you to understand

00:07:14.899 --> 00:07:15.939
 that there is something

00:07:15.939 --> 00:07:17.300
 called common grace.

00:07:17.420 --> 00:07:18.740
 There are two kinds of grace

00:07:18.740 --> 00:07:20.180
 in the New Testament.

00:07:20.740 --> 00:07:22.180
 One is saving grace.

00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:23.659
 That's what Paul's on about

00:07:23.659 --> 00:07:25.620
 in Ephesians chapter 2,

00:07:25.719 --> 00:07:26.839
 verses 8 and 9,

00:07:27.159 --> 00:07:27.959
 when he says,

00:07:28.100 --> 00:07:29.939
 but it is by grace

00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:31.100
 you have been saved

00:07:31.100 --> 00:07:32.279
 through faith.

00:07:32.500 --> 00:07:34.079
 This is not of your own doing,

00:07:34.180 --> 00:07:35.060
 so that none of you

00:07:35.060 --> 00:07:35.659
 can boast.

00:07:35.660 --> 00:07:38.220
 If you're a Christian,

00:07:38.380 --> 00:07:39.400
 you are a Christian

00:07:39.400 --> 00:07:41.660
 entirely at the initiative

00:07:41.660 --> 00:07:42.420
 of God

00:07:42.420 --> 00:07:43.700
 and his gracious

00:07:43.700 --> 00:07:44.860
 approach to you.

00:07:45.500 --> 00:07:46.820
 That he loves you

00:07:46.820 --> 00:07:48.680
 even though in your heart

00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:49.580
 you know you don't

00:07:49.580 --> 00:07:50.600
 deserve that love.

00:07:53.100 --> 00:07:54.480
 But then there is

00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:55.540
 common grace.

00:07:56.980 --> 00:07:58.800
 Common grace explains

00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:00.879
 why the Christian church

00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:02.280
 doesn't have the monopoly

00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:03.399
 on doing good

00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:04.639
 in our society.

00:08:05.059 --> 00:08:06.239
 There are lots of people

00:08:06.239 --> 00:08:07.319
 who do great things

00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:08.279
 in our society

00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:09.500
 and we thank God

00:08:09.500 --> 00:08:09.939
 for them.

00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:12.159
 Some of those people

00:08:12.159 --> 00:08:12.879
 are doctors

00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:14.159
 and surgeons.

00:08:16.099 --> 00:08:16.899
 And you might like

00:08:16.899 --> 00:08:17.639
 to ask yourself

00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:18.479
 this question

00:08:18.479 --> 00:08:19.339
 and it's a

00:08:19.339 --> 00:08:21.359
 kind of false dichotomy

00:08:21.359 --> 00:08:22.399
 that's been set up

00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:23.359
 in certain parts

00:08:23.359 --> 00:08:23.939
 of the church.

00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:25.179
 But if you had

00:08:25.179 --> 00:08:26.359
 appendicitis,

00:08:27.799 --> 00:08:28.899
 would you be more likely

00:08:28.899 --> 00:08:29.759
 to ask the elders

00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:30.339
 of the church

00:08:30.339 --> 00:08:31.000
 to come round

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.059
 and pray for you?

00:08:32.439 --> 00:08:33.399
 Or would you get down

00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:34.500
 the emergency room

00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:35.699
 and get operated on?

00:08:37.319 --> 00:08:38.919
 My suspicion is

00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:41.500
 that most of you

00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:42.480
 would say the second

00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:44.220
 and the really discerning

00:08:44.220 --> 00:08:44.840
 amongst you

00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:45.819
 would say both.

00:08:47.899 --> 00:08:48.419
 Both.

00:08:48.579 --> 00:08:48.919
 Prayer

00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:51.500
 and the doctor's stuff.

00:08:52.779 --> 00:08:53.360
 You remember

00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:54.679
 in John chapter 9

00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:56.159
 there was this

00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:57.639
 sounds really awful

00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:58.620
 to us doesn't it

00:08:58.620 --> 00:08:59.439
 especially in kind

00:08:59.439 --> 00:09:00.399
 of COVID times

00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:01.979
 that here's a

00:09:01.979 --> 00:09:03.019
 blind man

00:09:03.019 --> 00:09:05.099
 and Jesus

00:09:05.099 --> 00:09:06.399
 starts to heal him.

00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:07.459
 Before he heals him

00:09:07.459 --> 00:09:08.779
 Jesus spits

00:09:08.779 --> 00:09:09.360
 in the mud

00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:10.219
 and mixes up

00:09:10.219 --> 00:09:10.919
 this paste

00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:11.899
 and then

00:09:11.899 --> 00:09:13.099
 can you believe this?

00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:14.019
 Puts the paste

00:09:14.019 --> 00:09:15.000
 on the guy's eyes.

00:09:15.339 --> 00:09:16.039
 I mean I have such

00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:16.699
 a clean enough

00:09:16.699 --> 00:09:17.279
 obsession.

00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:18.379
 I would be retching

00:09:18.379 --> 00:09:19.079
 at that point.

00:09:20.500 --> 00:09:21.039
 Right?

00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:22.679
 Why did Jesus do that?

00:09:24.139 --> 00:09:25.500
 It's a great question

00:09:25.500 --> 00:09:26.740
 and the answer

00:09:26.740 --> 00:09:28.819
 is very simple

00:09:28.819 --> 00:09:30.379
 and very profound.

00:09:31.779 --> 00:09:32.679
 Jesus did that

00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:33.699
 because that was

00:09:33.699 --> 00:09:34.480
 a common

00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:36.139
 so far as they knew

00:09:36.139 --> 00:09:37.319
 about medicine then

00:09:37.319 --> 00:09:38.620
 that was a common

00:09:38.620 --> 00:09:39.779
 medical practice.

00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:40.799
 They believed

00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:41.600
 that sliver

00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:42.939
 and certainly

00:09:42.939 --> 00:09:44.399
 alluvial mud

00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:45.860
 had healing properties.

00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:48.720
 What's the meaning

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:49.059
 of that?

00:09:49.139 --> 00:09:50.120
 It means that

00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.139
 Jesus doesn't think

00:09:52.139 --> 00:09:53.919
 that kind of

00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:55.100
 medical practice

00:09:55.100 --> 00:09:56.720
 is in opposition

00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:59.419
 to prayers

00:09:59.419 --> 00:10:00.059
 for healing.

00:10:01.659 --> 00:10:03.379
 Get appendicitis

00:10:03.379 --> 00:10:04.480
 say your prayers

00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:05.120
 but make sure

00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:05.679
 you get down

00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:06.779
 the emergency room

00:10:06.779 --> 00:10:08.319
 and get operated on.

00:10:08.500 --> 00:10:09.659
 It's not faith

00:10:09.659 --> 00:10:10.839
 or medicine

00:10:10.839 --> 00:10:12.059
 and yet

00:10:12.059 --> 00:10:13.379
 I have been in meetings

00:10:13.379 --> 00:10:15.059
 believe me

00:10:15.059 --> 00:10:17.399
 when people

00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:18.419
 have been told

00:10:18.419 --> 00:10:19.099
 to give up

00:10:19.099 --> 00:10:20.019
 their medication

00:10:20.019 --> 00:10:21.599
 because to take it

00:10:21.599 --> 00:10:22.899
 is being faithless.

00:10:25.179 --> 00:10:26.299
 As a member

00:10:26.299 --> 00:10:26.959
 of this church

00:10:26.959 --> 00:10:27.839
 as a matter of fact

00:10:27.839 --> 00:10:28.939
 I was in a meeting

00:10:28.939 --> 00:10:29.419
 with him

00:10:29.419 --> 00:10:30.859
 and the preacher

00:10:30.859 --> 00:10:31.619
 told him

00:10:31.619 --> 00:10:33.000
 that he needed

00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:33.619
 to give up

00:10:33.619 --> 00:10:35.099
 his diabetic medication.

00:10:35.100 --> 00:10:37.540
 I mean

00:10:37.540 --> 00:10:38.820
 how irresponsible

00:10:38.820 --> 00:10:39.600
 is that?

00:10:41.680 --> 00:10:42.680
 Common grace

00:10:42.680 --> 00:10:43.920
 explains

00:10:43.920 --> 00:10:45.080
 why there is

00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:45.800
 a lot of good

00:10:45.800 --> 00:10:46.519
 that goes on

00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:46.980
 in this world

00:10:46.980 --> 00:10:47.720
 which Christians

00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:48.440
 don't have

00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:49.340
 their hands on

00:10:49.340 --> 00:10:51.060
 and it also

00:10:51.060 --> 00:10:51.879
 explains

00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:52.940
 why God

00:10:52.940 --> 00:10:54.519
 heals some people

00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:55.720
 who have no faith

00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:56.340
 whatsoever.

00:10:59.220 --> 00:10:59.899
 Directly.

00:10:59.899 --> 00:11:02.500
 I've never forgotten

00:11:02.500 --> 00:11:03.220
 when I was

00:11:03.220 --> 00:11:04.539
 in Slough

00:11:04.539 --> 00:11:07.360
 there's a place

00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:07.699
 you know

00:11:07.699 --> 00:11:08.019
 where

00:11:08.019 --> 00:11:09.139
 they have a bumper

00:11:09.139 --> 00:11:09.559
 sticker

00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:10.340
 that says

00:11:10.340 --> 00:11:12.559
 the best view

00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:13.100
 of Slough

00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:13.579
 is in your

00:11:13.579 --> 00:11:14.439
 rear view mirror

00:11:14.439 --> 00:11:16.959
 and

00:11:16.959 --> 00:11:18.639
 I ministered

00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:18.899
 there

00:11:18.899 --> 00:11:19.500
 in an

00:11:19.500 --> 00:11:20.319
 amazing

00:11:20.319 --> 00:11:20.699
 little

00:11:20.699 --> 00:11:21.620
 local church

00:11:21.620 --> 00:11:22.120
 it truly

00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:22.779
 was a

00:11:22.779 --> 00:11:23.679
 spiritual

00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:25.419
 experience

00:11:25.419 --> 00:11:26.460
 being there

00:11:26.460 --> 00:11:28.340
 but

00:11:28.340 --> 00:11:29.000
 one morning

00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:30.200
 I got a call

00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:30.759
 from one of

00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:31.539
 my older

00:11:31.539 --> 00:11:32.000
 ladies

00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:32.559
 who said

00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:33.080
 she'd had

00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:33.419
 a call

00:11:33.419 --> 00:11:33.940
 from a lady

00:11:33.940 --> 00:11:34.340
 on her

00:11:34.340 --> 00:11:34.740
 estate

00:11:34.740 --> 00:11:35.019
 who was

00:11:35.019 --> 00:11:35.580
 going for

00:11:35.580 --> 00:11:38.559
 an operation

00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:39.080
 for breast

00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:39.460
 cancer

00:11:39.460 --> 00:11:40.200
 that morning

00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:42.100
 I had never

00:11:42.100 --> 00:11:42.820
 heard of her

00:11:42.820 --> 00:11:44.960
 my old lady

00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:45.539
 in the church

00:11:45.539 --> 00:11:46.159
 knew of her

00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:46.600
 because

00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:47.259
 I think

00:11:47.259 --> 00:11:48.340
 she cleaned

00:11:48.340 --> 00:11:48.820
 for her

00:11:48.820 --> 00:11:49.279
 at some

00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:49.659
 point

00:11:49.659 --> 00:11:52.340
 so we

00:11:52.340 --> 00:11:52.840
 went around

00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:53.259
 there

00:11:53.259 --> 00:11:53.840
 and we

00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:54.679
 laid hands

00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:55.100
 on her

00:11:55.100 --> 00:11:55.480
 and we

00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:55.940
 anointed

00:11:55.940 --> 00:11:56.299
 her

00:11:56.299 --> 00:11:56.740
 and we

00:11:56.740 --> 00:11:57.360
 prayed for

00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:57.500
 her

00:11:57.500 --> 00:11:58.039
 and she

00:11:58.039 --> 00:11:58.559
 goes off

00:11:58.559 --> 00:11:58.839
 to the

00:11:58.839 --> 00:11:59.359
 hospital

00:11:59.359 --> 00:12:00.719
 and she

00:12:00.719 --> 00:12:01.479
 gets there

00:12:01.479 --> 00:12:02.459
 and the

00:12:02.459 --> 00:12:05.079
 anaesthetist

00:12:05.079 --> 00:12:05.819
 in the room

00:12:05.819 --> 00:12:06.359
 and the

00:12:06.359 --> 00:12:06.779
 surgeons

00:12:06.779 --> 00:12:07.279
 there

00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:07.799
 all kind

00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:07.939
 of

00:12:07.939 --> 00:12:08.219
 gowned

00:12:08.219 --> 00:12:08.500
 up

00:12:08.500 --> 00:12:08.839
 in his

00:12:08.839 --> 00:12:09.259
 scrubs

00:12:09.259 --> 00:12:10.959
 and he

00:12:10.959 --> 00:12:11.979
 gets his

00:12:11.979 --> 00:12:12.779
 pencil out

00:12:12.779 --> 00:12:13.439
 and starts

00:12:13.439 --> 00:12:13.939
 to draw

00:12:13.939 --> 00:12:14.359
 on her

00:12:14.359 --> 00:12:15.839
 apparently

00:12:15.839 --> 00:12:16.259
 that's what

00:12:16.259 --> 00:12:16.699
 they do

00:12:16.699 --> 00:12:18.659
 and then

00:12:18.659 --> 00:12:19.000
 he says

00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:19.359
 would you

00:12:19.359 --> 00:12:19.539
 mind

00:12:19.539 --> 00:12:19.879
 I just

00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:20.139
 want to

00:12:20.139 --> 00:12:20.759
 give you

00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:22.659
 a final

00:12:22.659 --> 00:12:23.059
 medical

00:12:23.059 --> 00:12:23.779
 examination

00:12:23.779 --> 00:12:24.359
 physical

00:12:24.359 --> 00:12:24.959
 examination

00:12:24.959 --> 00:12:25.799
 just to

00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:26.519
 make sure

00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:28.620
 that we're

00:12:28.620 --> 00:12:28.840
 going to

00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:29.159
 do the

00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:29.360
 right

00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:29.860
 procedure

00:12:29.860 --> 00:12:30.220
 so he

00:12:30.220 --> 00:12:30.559
 gives her

00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:31.000
 a physical

00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:31.840
 examination

00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:33.779
 and he

00:12:33.779 --> 00:12:34.199
 goes out

00:12:34.199 --> 00:12:34.419
 of the

00:12:34.419 --> 00:12:34.659
 room

00:12:34.659 --> 00:12:35.360
 comes back

00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:35.659
 with the

00:12:35.659 --> 00:12:36.159
 consultant

00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:36.919
 the consultant

00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:37.539
 gives her

00:12:37.539 --> 00:12:38.519
 an examination

00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.779
 he says

00:12:40.779 --> 00:12:41.419
 where did you

00:12:41.419 --> 00:12:41.879
 say the

00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:42.460
 lump was

00:12:42.460 --> 00:12:43.340
 she said

00:12:43.340 --> 00:12:43.759
 in my

00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:44.779
 right breast

00:12:44.779 --> 00:12:45.139
 he said

00:12:45.139 --> 00:12:45.419
 there is

00:12:45.419 --> 00:12:46.000
 no lump

00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:46.419
 there

00:12:46.419 --> 00:12:47.600
 send her

00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:47.840
 for a

00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:48.159
 scan

00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:49.960
 by lunchtime

00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:50.319
 she was

00:12:50.319 --> 00:12:50.699
 home

00:12:50.699 --> 00:12:52.840
 no

00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:53.439
 operation

00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:55.720
 now

00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:57.540
 I'd like

00:12:57.540 --> 00:12:57.980
 to say

00:12:57.980 --> 00:12:59.000
 we were

00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:00.000
 so pumped

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:00.420
 up with

00:13:00.420 --> 00:13:00.740
 faith

00:13:00.740 --> 00:13:01.100
 when we

00:13:01.100 --> 00:13:01.580
 prayed for

00:13:01.580 --> 00:13:01.700
 her

00:13:01.700 --> 00:13:02.020
 that that

00:13:02.020 --> 00:13:02.340
 didn't

00:13:02.340 --> 00:13:02.820
 surprise

00:13:02.820 --> 00:13:03.020
 us

00:13:03.020 --> 00:13:03.400
 at all

00:13:03.400 --> 00:13:04.140
 truthfully

00:13:04.140 --> 00:13:04.480
 we were

00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:04.920
 shocked

00:13:04.920 --> 00:13:07.600
 and as

00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:08.000
 far as

00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:08.500
 we know

00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:09.240
 this woman

00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:09.800
 had no

00:13:09.800 --> 00:13:10.120
 faith

00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:10.620
 whatsoever

00:13:10.620 --> 00:13:10.980
 and of

00:13:10.980 --> 00:13:11.160
 course

00:13:11.160 --> 00:13:11.640
 our great

00:13:11.640 --> 00:13:12.380
 expectation

00:13:12.380 --> 00:13:12.800
 was

00:13:12.800 --> 00:13:13.700
 now she's

00:13:13.700 --> 00:13:14.180
 been healed

00:13:14.180 --> 00:13:14.700
 by God

00:13:14.700 --> 00:13:15.120
 she's going

00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:15.520
 to throw

00:13:15.520 --> 00:13:16.080
 herself at

00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:16.600
 his feet

00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:17.200
 at the

00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:17.640
 throne of

00:13:17.640 --> 00:13:17.980
 grace

00:13:17.980 --> 00:13:18.480
 and she'll

00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:18.920
 walk with

00:13:18.920 --> 00:13:19.080
 him

00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:19.420
 forever

00:13:19.420 --> 00:13:19.680
 more

00:13:19.680 --> 00:13:20.360
 never saw

00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:20.500
 her

00:13:20.500 --> 00:13:20.860
 again

00:13:20.860 --> 00:13:22.820
 never

00:13:22.820 --> 00:13:23.180
 clapped

00:13:23.179 --> 00:13:23.439
 eyes

00:13:23.439 --> 00:13:24.120
 common

00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:24.559
 grace

00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:25.199
 explains

00:13:25.199 --> 00:13:25.479
 that

00:13:25.479 --> 00:13:26.699
 God

00:13:26.699 --> 00:13:27.899
 delivers

00:13:27.899 --> 00:13:28.279
 some

00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:28.659
 grace

00:13:28.659 --> 00:13:28.919
 into

00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:29.199
 this

00:13:29.199 --> 00:13:29.519
 wide

00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:29.779
 world

00:13:29.779 --> 00:13:29.939
 that

00:13:29.939 --> 00:13:30.439
 explains

00:13:30.439 --> 00:13:30.879
 a lot

00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:31.039
 of

00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:31.500
 things

00:13:31.500 --> 00:13:32.919
 that

00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:33.319
 in many

00:13:33.319 --> 00:13:33.699
 ways

00:13:33.699 --> 00:13:34.039
 seem

00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:35.399
 inexplicable

00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.359
 so what

00:13:39.359 --> 00:13:39.759
 are we

00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:40.339
 to learn

00:13:40.339 --> 00:13:41.459
 from

00:13:41.459 --> 00:13:41.899
 James

00:13:41.899 --> 00:13:42.399
 chapter

00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:43.059
 5

00:13:43.059 --> 00:13:45.339
 the

00:13:45.339 --> 00:13:45.879
 first

00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:46.179
 thing

00:13:46.179 --> 00:13:46.579
 that I

00:13:46.579 --> 00:13:46.879
 want to

00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:47.079
 say

00:13:47.079 --> 00:13:47.219
 is

00:13:47.219 --> 00:13:47.539
 and I

00:13:47.539 --> 00:13:49.159
 can't

00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:49.659
 emphasize

00:13:49.659 --> 00:13:50.699
 this

00:13:50.699 --> 00:13:51.159
 point

00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:51.759
 enough

00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:54.039
 is

00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:54.340
 that

00:13:54.340 --> 00:13:54.740
 I

00:13:54.740 --> 00:13:54.980
 don't

00:13:54.980 --> 00:13:55.200
 think

00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:55.799
 James

00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:56.519
 believed

00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:56.879
 that

00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:57.439
 trying

00:13:57.439 --> 00:13:57.659
 to

00:13:57.659 --> 00:13:58.080
 heal

00:13:58.080 --> 00:13:58.600
 people

00:13:58.600 --> 00:13:59.179
 was

00:13:59.179 --> 00:13:59.500
 kind

00:13:59.500 --> 00:13:59.679
 of

00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:00.340
 manipulating

00:14:00.340 --> 00:14:00.960
 them

00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:02.120
 I

00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:02.319
 would

00:14:02.319 --> 00:14:02.740
 regard

00:14:02.740 --> 00:14:03.360
 myself

00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:04.100
 manipulative

00:14:04.100 --> 00:14:04.759
 behavior

00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:05.860
 as getting

00:14:05.860 --> 00:14:06.460
 cross with

00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:06.939
 somebody who

00:14:06.939 --> 00:14:07.220
 was ill

00:14:07.220 --> 00:14:07.720
 because they

00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:08.100
 didn't have

00:14:08.100 --> 00:14:08.379
 enough

00:14:08.379 --> 00:14:08.759
 faith

00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:10.480
 that would

00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:10.819
 be a

00:14:10.819 --> 00:14:11.200
 terrible

00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:11.580
 thing

00:14:11.580 --> 00:14:12.059
 to do

00:14:12.059 --> 00:14:12.919
 and you

00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:13.120
 know

00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:14.620
 when I've

00:14:14.620 --> 00:14:15.799
 been visiting

00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:16.500
 the states

00:14:16.500 --> 00:14:17.100
 I've often

00:14:17.100 --> 00:14:17.740
 been jet

00:14:17.740 --> 00:14:18.200
 lagged and

00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:18.799
 wide awake

00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:19.059
 in the

00:14:19.059 --> 00:14:19.439
 middle of the

00:14:19.439 --> 00:14:19.620
 night

00:14:19.620 --> 00:14:20.019
 flicking

00:14:20.019 --> 00:14:20.759
 through channels

00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:21.120
 on the

00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:21.620
 television

00:14:21.620 --> 00:14:22.720
 and you

00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:23.100
 come to

00:14:23.100 --> 00:14:23.299
 the

00:14:23.299 --> 00:14:24.600
 televangelists

00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.059
 amazingly

00:14:28.059 --> 00:14:28.759
 weird

00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:29.279
 people

00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:30.039
 as far

00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:30.360
 as I

00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:30.879
 can best

00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:31.200
 see

00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:32.319
 they'll

00:14:32.319 --> 00:14:32.720
 tell you

00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:33.259
 stuff like

00:14:33.259 --> 00:14:34.259
 send in

00:14:34.259 --> 00:14:34.439
 your

00:14:34.439 --> 00:14:34.779
 hundred

00:14:34.779 --> 00:14:35.340
 dollars

00:14:35.340 --> 00:14:36.080
 put your

00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:36.580
 hand on

00:14:36.580 --> 00:14:36.740
 the

00:14:36.740 --> 00:14:37.259
 television

00:14:37.259 --> 00:14:38.340
 screen

00:14:38.340 --> 00:14:39.139
 and receive

00:14:39.139 --> 00:14:39.480
 your

00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:39.919
 healing

00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:41.659
 right

00:14:41.659 --> 00:14:45.139
 I don't

00:14:45.139 --> 00:14:45.500
 know how

00:14:45.500 --> 00:14:46.139
 much money

00:14:46.139 --> 00:14:46.480
 has been

00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:46.899
 wasted

00:14:46.899 --> 00:14:47.600
 doing that

00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:48.039
 but I

00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:48.279
 would

00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:49.139
 clearly

00:14:49.139 --> 00:14:49.779
 that is

00:14:49.779 --> 00:14:50.699
 just very

00:14:50.699 --> 00:14:51.379
 very

00:14:51.379 --> 00:14:52.899
 manipulative

00:14:52.899 --> 00:14:55.319
 and

00:14:55.319 --> 00:14:57.379
 the

00:14:57.379 --> 00:14:57.740
 ministry

00:14:57.740 --> 00:14:58.279
 of healing

00:14:58.279 --> 00:14:58.799
 is not

00:14:58.799 --> 00:14:59.199
 about

00:14:59.199 --> 00:15:00.240
 manipulating

00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:02.179
 and

00:15:02.179 --> 00:15:05.819
 yeah

00:15:05.819 --> 00:15:06.379
 so

00:15:06.379 --> 00:15:07.439
 let's

00:15:07.439 --> 00:15:08.019
 just go

00:15:08.019 --> 00:15:08.579
 on and

00:15:08.579 --> 00:15:09.199
 think for

00:15:09.199 --> 00:15:09.720
 a moment

00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:11.059
 about

00:15:11.059 --> 00:15:11.559
 James'

00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:12.939
 advice

00:15:12.939 --> 00:15:13.379
 here

00:15:13.379 --> 00:15:15.899
 text is

00:15:15.899 --> 00:15:16.500
 the prayer

00:15:16.500 --> 00:15:16.879
 of a

00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:17.240
 righteous

00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:17.799
 man

00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:18.839
 is powerful

00:15:18.839 --> 00:15:20.559
 and effective

00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:23.579
 do you

00:15:23.579 --> 00:15:24.179
 believe

00:15:24.179 --> 00:15:25.740
 that the

00:15:25.740 --> 00:15:26.120
 local

00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:26.719
 church

00:15:26.719 --> 00:15:28.359
 could

00:15:28.359 --> 00:15:28.979
 become a

00:15:28.979 --> 00:15:29.439
 place

00:15:29.439 --> 00:15:31.399
 that kind

00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:32.779
 of accelerated

00:15:32.779 --> 00:15:33.839
 healing and

00:15:33.839 --> 00:15:34.439
 wholeness

00:15:34.439 --> 00:15:37.620
 a bit

00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:38.079
 like

00:15:38.079 --> 00:15:39.639
 a greenhouse

00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:40.879
 accelerates

00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:41.359
 growth

00:15:41.359 --> 00:15:41.979
 hopefully

00:15:41.979 --> 00:15:43.079
 and protects

00:15:43.079 --> 00:15:44.599
 the plants

00:15:44.599 --> 00:15:44.859
 that are

00:15:44.859 --> 00:15:45.359
 within it

00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:45.840
 could a

00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:46.220
 church

00:15:46.220 --> 00:15:46.539
 could you

00:15:46.539 --> 00:15:47.060
 imagine

00:15:47.060 --> 00:15:49.139
 that our

00:15:49.139 --> 00:15:49.620
 church could

00:15:49.620 --> 00:15:50.120
 be like

00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:50.560
 this

00:15:50.560 --> 00:15:52.159
 that the

00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:52.800
 strength of

00:15:52.800 --> 00:15:53.759
 our social

00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:54.480
 network

00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:55.000
 as a

00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:55.680
 congregation

00:15:55.680 --> 00:15:57.100
 could in

00:15:57.100 --> 00:15:57.700
 itself

00:15:57.700 --> 00:15:58.419
 just be

00:15:58.419 --> 00:15:59.759
 a healing

00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:00.200
 thing

00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:01.539
 could the

00:16:01.539 --> 00:16:02.200
 church be a

00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:03.100
 microcosm

00:16:03.100 --> 00:16:04.279
 of a healthy

00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:05.759
 and whole

00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:06.720
 society

00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:09.759
 which takes

00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:10.360
 me to

00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:11.860
 a very

00:16:11.860 --> 00:16:12.379
 important

00:16:12.379 --> 00:16:13.039
 question

00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:13.579
 and that

00:16:13.579 --> 00:16:14.019
 is

00:16:14.019 --> 00:16:16.219
 does our

00:16:16.219 --> 00:16:17.000
 society

00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:18.579
 by the

00:16:18.579 --> 00:16:19.019
 way it

00:16:19.019 --> 00:16:19.419
 is

00:16:19.419 --> 00:16:21.000
 make you

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:21.259
 ill

00:16:21.259 --> 00:16:25.639
 today

00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:27.039
 writing in

00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:27.659
 the Sunday

00:16:27.659 --> 00:16:28.399
 Times

00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:29.779
 Rod Little

00:16:29.779 --> 00:16:30.639
 who I know

00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:31.120
 is strong

00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:31.699
 stuff

00:16:31.699 --> 00:16:32.559
 for some

00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:32.879
 of you

00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:33.659
 but writing

00:16:33.659 --> 00:16:34.539
 there about

00:16:34.539 --> 00:16:36.259
 how in the

00:16:36.259 --> 00:16:37.539
 70s we had

00:16:37.539 --> 00:16:37.959
 a very

00:16:37.959 --> 00:16:38.439
 different

00:16:38.439 --> 00:16:38.959
 approach

00:16:38.959 --> 00:16:39.659
 so there

00:16:39.659 --> 00:16:39.879
 was

00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:41.039
 you know

00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:42.379
 the 70s

00:16:42.379 --> 00:16:42.799
 was the

00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:43.559
 birth of

00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:44.220
 awfully

00:16:44.220 --> 00:16:44.779
 unhealthy

00:16:44.779 --> 00:16:45.299
 food

00:16:45.299 --> 00:16:45.759
 sugar

00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:46.299
 loaded

00:16:46.299 --> 00:16:46.759
 fat

00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:47.139
 loaded

00:16:47.139 --> 00:16:47.659
 food

00:16:47.659 --> 00:16:47.960
 and

00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:48.700
 some of

00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:49.179
 you remember

00:16:49.179 --> 00:16:49.620
 those

00:16:49.620 --> 00:16:51.399
 Finder's

00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:51.980
 crispy

00:16:51.980 --> 00:16:52.759
 pancakes

00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:54.840
 I can see

00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:55.419
 the look of

00:16:55.419 --> 00:16:56.259
 ecstasy on

00:16:56.259 --> 00:16:56.899
 your faces

00:16:56.899 --> 00:16:57.720
 as I even

00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:58.399
 mouth them

00:16:58.399 --> 00:16:59.899
 and thick

00:16:59.899 --> 00:17:00.360
 crust

00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:01.100
 pizzas

00:17:01.100 --> 00:17:03.340
 and all

00:17:03.340 --> 00:17:04.180
 that stuff

00:17:04.180 --> 00:17:05.000
 and yet

00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:05.519
 back in

00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:05.980
 the day

00:17:05.980 --> 00:17:07.880
 only one

00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:08.640
 child in

00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:09.279
 30

00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:09.860
 had

00:17:09.860 --> 00:17:10.440
 obesity

00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:11.220
 issues

00:17:11.220 --> 00:17:13.200
 drive the

00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:13.460
 clock

00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:14.039
 forward to

00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:14.519
 today

00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:16.539
 it's one

00:17:16.539 --> 00:17:16.980
 in three

00:17:16.980 --> 00:17:17.539
 children

00:17:17.539 --> 00:17:18.620
 who have

00:17:18.620 --> 00:17:19.440
 those issues

00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:21.519
 we know

00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:21.880
 that

00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:23.140
 mental health

00:17:23.140 --> 00:17:23.779
 is on the

00:17:23.779 --> 00:17:24.160
 increase

00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:25.000
 of course

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:25.539
 this is in

00:17:25.539 --> 00:17:26.059
 part because

00:17:26.059 --> 00:17:26.559
 we're better

00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:27.440
 at diagnosis

00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:29.059
 of course

00:17:29.059 --> 00:17:29.559
 it is

00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:31.480
 there was

00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:32.079
 a time

00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:33.259
 when

00:17:33.259 --> 00:17:35.420
 I can

00:17:35.420 --> 00:17:35.779
 remember

00:17:35.779 --> 00:17:36.240
 in my

00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:36.619
 school

00:17:36.619 --> 00:17:37.900
 the kind

00:17:37.900 --> 00:17:38.240
 of thing

00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:38.900
 there was

00:17:38.900 --> 00:17:40.119
 you eat

00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:40.599
 what you're

00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:40.920
 given

00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:42.879
 you eat

00:17:42.879 --> 00:17:43.220
 what you're

00:17:43.220 --> 00:17:43.480
 given

00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:45.839
 there's no

00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:46.339
 kind of

00:17:46.339 --> 00:17:47.059
 messing around

00:17:47.059 --> 00:17:47.539
 saying well

00:17:47.539 --> 00:17:47.960
 if you don't

00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:48.460
 like that

00:17:48.460 --> 00:17:48.940
 have a

00:17:48.940 --> 00:17:49.559
 Mars bar

00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:51.099
 or whatever

00:17:51.099 --> 00:17:51.980
 eat what

00:17:51.980 --> 00:17:52.379
 you're given

00:17:52.379 --> 00:17:52.879
 and I can

00:17:52.879 --> 00:17:53.519
 remember kids

00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:53.900
 in our

00:17:53.900 --> 00:17:54.319
 school

00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:56.019
 and I can

00:17:56.019 --> 00:17:56.379
 remember

00:17:56.379 --> 00:17:57.200
 children around

00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:58.460
 our table

00:17:58.460 --> 00:17:58.960
 our own

00:17:58.960 --> 00:17:59.440
 children

00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:00.519
 and you

00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:00.759
 know the

00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:01.339
 message was

00:18:01.339 --> 00:18:01.799
 sit there

00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:02.140
 until you

00:18:02.140 --> 00:18:02.759
 finished it

00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.119
 we may

00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:05.299
 have

00:18:05.299 --> 00:18:05.879
 completely

00:18:05.879 --> 00:18:06.579
 psychologically

00:18:06.579 --> 00:18:07.379
 damaged them

00:18:07.379 --> 00:18:07.640
 in the

00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:08.099
 cause of

00:18:08.099 --> 00:18:08.259
 that

00:18:08.259 --> 00:18:08.900
 but somehow

00:18:08.900 --> 00:18:10.619
 it worked

00:18:10.619 --> 00:18:14.539
 and there

00:18:14.539 --> 00:18:15.059
 is a

00:18:15.059 --> 00:18:15.740
 well I mean

00:18:15.740 --> 00:18:16.180
 this is a

00:18:16.180 --> 00:18:16.779
 very telling

00:18:16.779 --> 00:18:17.579
 verse here

00:18:17.579 --> 00:18:18.339
 I think

00:18:18.339 --> 00:18:19.740
 James is

00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:20.660
 we didn't

00:18:20.660 --> 00:18:21.099
 read this

00:18:21.099 --> 00:18:21.420
 but it's

00:18:21.420 --> 00:18:21.660
 in the

00:18:21.660 --> 00:18:22.240
 early part

00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:22.680
 of chapter

00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:23.160
 5

00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:24.579
 James

00:18:24.579 --> 00:18:24.920
 writes

00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:25.299
 this

00:18:25.299 --> 00:18:25.839
 before he

00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:26.379
 starts to

00:18:26.379 --> 00:18:27.140
 write about

00:18:27.140 --> 00:18:28.220
 healing

00:18:28.220 --> 00:18:30.000
 he says

00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.259
 the

00:18:32.259 --> 00:18:32.900
 cries

00:18:32.900 --> 00:18:33.359
 sorry

00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:34.200
 you have

00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:34.640
 lived

00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:35.720
 on earth

00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:36.539
 in luxury

00:18:36.539 --> 00:18:37.460
 and self

00:18:37.460 --> 00:18:38.319
 indulgence

00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:39.319
 you have

00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:39.680
 fattened

00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:40.200
 yourselves

00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:40.819
 in the

00:18:40.819 --> 00:18:41.259
 day of

00:18:41.259 --> 00:18:41.779
 slaughter

00:18:41.779 --> 00:18:44.440
 and he

00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:44.680
 could have

00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:45.140
 written that

00:18:45.140 --> 00:18:45.500
 in the

00:18:45.500 --> 00:18:45.740
 Sunday

00:18:45.740 --> 00:18:46.119
 Times

00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:46.579
 today

00:18:46.579 --> 00:18:47.039
 couldn't

00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:47.220
 he

00:18:47.220 --> 00:18:50.240
 see there

00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:50.960
 is something

00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:51.980
 fundamentally

00:18:51.980 --> 00:18:52.759
 unhealthy

00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:53.480
 about our

00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:54.000
 society

00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:55.000
 somebody once

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:55.259
 wrote

00:18:55.259 --> 00:18:55.859
 to do

00:18:55.859 --> 00:18:56.380
 well in a

00:18:56.380 --> 00:18:57.180
 sick society

00:18:57.180 --> 00:18:57.740
 isn't a big

00:18:57.740 --> 00:18:58.500
 deal is it

00:18:58.500 --> 00:19:01.839
 and what

00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:02.420
 would be the

00:19:02.420 --> 00:19:03.339
 antidote to

00:19:03.339 --> 00:19:03.640
 that

00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:06.440
 might it

00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:06.920
 be a

00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:07.859
 local church

00:19:07.859 --> 00:19:09.539
 where people

00:19:09.539 --> 00:19:10.240
 were committed

00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:11.019
 to righteous

00:19:11.019 --> 00:19:11.519
 living

00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:13.599
 where people

00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:14.400
 were committed

00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:15.720
 to faithful

00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:17.980
 discipleship

00:19:17.980 --> 00:19:19.759
 and that

00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:20.380
 in itself

00:19:20.380 --> 00:19:20.799
 I think

00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:21.200
 would just

00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:21.920
 create a

00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:22.519
 kind of

00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:23.480
 micro

00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:24.099
 climate

00:19:24.099 --> 00:19:26.140
 for people

00:19:26.140 --> 00:19:26.480
 to get

00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:26.920
 better

00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:29.060
 and remember

00:19:29.060 --> 00:19:30.560
 we all

00:19:30.560 --> 00:19:31.039
 need

00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:31.519
 healing

00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:34.180
 so I

00:19:34.180 --> 00:19:34.860
 said that

00:19:34.860 --> 00:19:35.900
 James

00:19:35.900 --> 00:19:37.019
 if you

00:19:37.019 --> 00:19:37.960
 look at

00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:38.480
 it in

00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:39.080
 terms of

00:19:39.080 --> 00:19:39.840
 chapter 5

00:19:39.840 --> 00:19:40.380
 being the

00:19:40.380 --> 00:19:40.960
 kind of

00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:42.080
 key

00:19:42.080 --> 00:19:44.960
 finale

00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:45.759
 of his

00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:46.200
 letter

00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:47.519
 then

00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:48.800
 the first

00:19:48.800 --> 00:19:50.340
 four chapters

00:19:50.340 --> 00:19:51.200
 talk about

00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:52.420
 seeking wisdom

00:19:52.420 --> 00:19:53.880
 about persevering

00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:54.320
 faith

00:19:54.320 --> 00:19:55.900
 about faith

00:19:55.900 --> 00:19:56.519
 in action

00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:58.060
 about how

00:19:58.060 --> 00:19:58.920
 favoritism

00:19:58.920 --> 00:19:59.420
 should not

00:19:59.420 --> 00:20:00.080
 exist in

00:20:00.080 --> 00:20:00.580
 the church

00:20:00.580 --> 00:20:01.460
 how the

00:20:01.460 --> 00:20:02.060
 church should

00:20:02.060 --> 00:20:02.519
 not just

00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:03.000
 bang on

00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:03.700
 about faith

00:20:03.700 --> 00:20:04.200
 but should

00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:04.700
 go and do

00:20:04.700 --> 00:20:05.380
 good works

00:20:05.380 --> 00:20:05.960
 for people

00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:08.000
 chapter 3

00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:08.880
 oh my

00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:09.300
 goodness

00:20:09.300 --> 00:20:10.120
 how many

00:20:10.120 --> 00:20:10.620
 churches

00:20:10.620 --> 00:20:11.120
 does this

00:20:11.120 --> 00:20:11.680
 bring down

00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:12.860
 watch your

00:20:12.860 --> 00:20:13.460
 tongue

00:20:13.460 --> 00:20:15.200
 eliminate

00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:16.000
 gossip

00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.000
 chapter 3

00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:18.640
 also talks

00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:19.040
 about the

00:20:19.040 --> 00:20:19.580
 two kinds

00:20:19.580 --> 00:20:20.080
 of wisdom

00:20:20.080 --> 00:20:20.980
 the wisdom

00:20:20.980 --> 00:20:21.440
 that leads

00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:22.180
 to wholeness

00:20:22.180 --> 00:20:23.140
 and the wisdom

00:20:23.140 --> 00:20:23.660
 that leads

00:20:23.660 --> 00:20:24.460
 to destruction

00:20:24.460 --> 00:20:26.420
 chapter 4

00:20:26.420 --> 00:20:27.980
 submit to

00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:28.279
 God

00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:28.940
 and be

00:20:28.940 --> 00:20:29.420
 humble

00:20:29.420 --> 00:20:33.140
 excuse me

00:20:33.140 --> 00:20:34.660
 if we

00:20:34.660 --> 00:20:35.340
 could make

00:20:35.340 --> 00:20:37.620
 just small

00:20:37.620 --> 00:20:38.360
 changes

00:20:38.360 --> 00:20:39.799
 in the way

00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:40.240
 we are

00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:40.700
 together

00:20:40.700 --> 00:20:42.960
 and understand

00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:44.400
 that discipleship

00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:45.860
 is a collective

00:20:45.860 --> 00:20:46.840
 responsibility

00:20:46.840 --> 00:20:49.140
 of course

00:20:49.140 --> 00:20:49.700
 it's about

00:20:49.700 --> 00:20:50.079
 you

00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:52.159
 but it's

00:20:52.159 --> 00:20:53.139
 about us

00:20:53.139 --> 00:20:55.480
 it's about

00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:55.879
 us

00:20:55.879 --> 00:20:56.399
 together

00:20:56.399 --> 00:20:59.000
 and the

00:20:59.000 --> 00:20:59.419
 way we

00:20:59.419 --> 00:20:59.839
 are with

00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:00.359
 each other

00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:03.919
 so what

00:21:03.919 --> 00:21:04.279
 could you

00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:04.720
 do

00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:07.379
 well you

00:21:07.379 --> 00:21:07.599
 could

00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:08.339
 honestly

00:21:08.339 --> 00:21:08.919
 face up

00:21:08.919 --> 00:21:09.199
 to the

00:21:09.199 --> 00:21:09.740
 question

00:21:09.740 --> 00:21:12.259
 is my

00:21:12.259 --> 00:21:12.759
 life

00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:13.839
 truly

00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:14.539
 righteous

00:21:14.539 --> 00:21:15.000
 life

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:17.139
 or are

00:21:17.139 --> 00:21:17.319
 there

00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:18.119
 behaviors

00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:19.799
 and habits

00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:21.180
 that I

00:21:21.180 --> 00:21:21.859
 keep away

00:21:21.859 --> 00:21:22.279
 from the

00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:22.639
 rest of

00:21:22.639 --> 00:21:22.920
 the world

00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:23.200
 that I

00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:23.819
 don't talk

00:21:23.819 --> 00:21:24.599
 to anybody

00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:25.119
 about

00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:26.000
 because

00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:26.740
 basically

00:21:26.740 --> 00:21:27.599
 if I

00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:28.460
 even start

00:21:28.460 --> 00:21:29.059
 to focus

00:21:29.059 --> 00:21:29.559
 on them

00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:31.399
 I just

00:21:31.399 --> 00:21:32.279
 feel ashamed

00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:37.240
 do you

00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:37.579
 live

00:21:37.579 --> 00:21:38.359
 a righteous

00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:39.079
 life

00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:40.000
 because

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:40.720
 you have

00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:41.180
 some

00:21:41.180 --> 00:21:41.819
 feel for

00:21:41.819 --> 00:21:42.220
 God's

00:21:42.220 --> 00:21:42.599
 word

00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:44.039
 and

00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:44.339
 therefore

00:21:44.339 --> 00:21:45.079
 you know

00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:46.079
 what God

00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:47.000
 expects of

00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:47.220
 you

00:21:47.220 --> 00:21:47.799
 if you

00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:48.220
 want to

00:21:48.220 --> 00:21:48.480
 walk

00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:48.960
 with him

00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:51.279
 maybe

00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:52.619
 you could

00:21:52.619 --> 00:21:53.180
 step up

00:21:53.180 --> 00:21:53.819
 your commitment

00:21:53.819 --> 00:21:54.660
 to read a bit

00:21:54.660 --> 00:21:55.180
 more of that

00:21:55.180 --> 00:21:55.599
 Bible

00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:56.980
 and apply

00:21:56.980 --> 00:21:57.480
 it to your

00:21:57.480 --> 00:21:57.920
 life

00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:00.759
 and what

00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:01.079
 about

00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:02.240
 faithfulness

00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:03.720
 how many

00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:04.359
 times

00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:04.839
 have you

00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:05.400
 have I

00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:05.819
 said

00:22:05.819 --> 00:22:06.279
 amen

00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:06.759
 to a

00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:07.099
 prayer

00:22:07.099 --> 00:22:07.880
 thinking

00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:08.180
 to

00:22:08.180 --> 00:22:08.700
 ourselves

00:22:08.700 --> 00:22:09.299
 quietly

00:22:09.299 --> 00:22:09.880
 good luck

00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:10.380
 with that

00:22:10.380 --> 00:22:13.500
 how can

00:22:13.500 --> 00:22:14.140
 we develop

00:22:14.140 --> 00:22:14.779
 together

00:22:14.779 --> 00:22:16.140
 the kind

00:22:16.140 --> 00:22:16.720
 of faith

00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:17.140
 that was

00:22:17.140 --> 00:22:18.120
 expectant

00:22:18.120 --> 00:22:19.720
 that truly

00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:20.339
 believed

00:22:20.339 --> 00:22:21.079
 that God

00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:22.500
 through Christ

00:22:22.500 --> 00:22:23.220
 in the power

00:22:23.220 --> 00:22:23.779
 of his Holy

00:22:23.779 --> 00:22:24.160
 Spirit

00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:24.839
 can work

00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:25.120
 through

00:22:25.120 --> 00:22:25.799
 vessels

00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:26.579
 like us

00:22:26.579 --> 00:22:28.259
 and do

00:22:28.259 --> 00:22:28.920
 his work

00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:29.620
 here on

00:22:29.620 --> 00:22:30.039
 earth

00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:32.639
 wouldn't

00:22:32.639 --> 00:22:33.099
 that be

00:22:33.099 --> 00:22:34.200
 a different

00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:34.839
 kind of

00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:35.279
 church

00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:36.980
 wouldn't

00:22:36.980 --> 00:22:37.359
 that be

00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:37.859
 a church

00:22:37.859 --> 00:22:38.339
 where there

00:22:38.339 --> 00:22:39.139
 was openness

00:22:39.139 --> 00:22:40.399
 and transparency

00:22:40.399 --> 00:22:41.319
 I note

00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:41.700
 there

00:22:41.700 --> 00:22:42.879
 that James

00:22:42.879 --> 00:22:43.159
 says

00:22:43.159 --> 00:22:44.180
 confess your

00:22:44.180 --> 00:22:44.700
 sins

00:22:44.700 --> 00:22:45.460
 to one

00:22:45.460 --> 00:22:45.899
 another

00:22:45.899 --> 00:22:47.359
 you're an

00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:47.779
 ex-Roman

00:22:47.779 --> 00:22:48.299
 catholic

00:22:48.299 --> 00:22:48.740
 you know

00:22:48.740 --> 00:22:49.079
 that the

00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:49.680
 only person

00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:50.240
 you're supposed

00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:50.659
 to go

00:22:50.659 --> 00:22:51.740
 and confess

00:22:51.740 --> 00:22:52.460
 your sins

00:22:52.460 --> 00:22:53.019
 to is the

00:22:53.019 --> 00:22:53.559
 priest

00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:55.819
 notice

00:22:55.819 --> 00:22:56.319
 James

00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:57.139
 confess your

00:22:57.139 --> 00:22:57.460
 sins

00:22:57.460 --> 00:22:57.839
 to one

00:22:57.839 --> 00:22:58.240
 another

00:22:58.240 --> 00:22:59.599
 that church

00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:00.119
 in Slough

00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:00.619
 I kid

00:23:00.619 --> 00:23:01.099
 you not

00:23:01.099 --> 00:23:01.759
 we went

00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:02.159
 through a

00:23:02.159 --> 00:23:02.919
 short time

00:23:02.919 --> 00:23:03.799
 it was just

00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:04.440
 a season

00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:05.379
 that happened

00:23:05.379 --> 00:23:05.879
 in our

00:23:05.879 --> 00:23:06.319
 worship

00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:07.279
 where people

00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:07.899
 did start

00:23:07.899 --> 00:23:08.379
 to confess

00:23:08.379 --> 00:23:09.019
 their sins

00:23:09.019 --> 00:23:09.399
 to one

00:23:09.399 --> 00:23:09.779
 another

00:23:09.779 --> 00:23:12.759
 and

00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:16.119
 it could

00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:16.619
 get out

00:23:16.619 --> 00:23:17.079
 of hand

00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:17.500
 if I'm

00:23:17.500 --> 00:23:18.319
 being truthful

00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:19.000
 about it

00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:19.579
 it's not

00:23:19.579 --> 00:23:20.039
 helpful

00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:20.399
 if

00:23:20.399 --> 00:23:21.859
 there's a

00:23:21.859 --> 00:23:22.339
 man sitting

00:23:22.339 --> 00:23:22.960
 opposite a

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:23.220
 girl

00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:23.539
 in the

00:23:23.539 --> 00:23:23.819
 group

00:23:23.819 --> 00:23:24.360
 who starts

00:23:24.360 --> 00:23:25.420
 to confess

00:23:25.420 --> 00:23:26.200
 his lust

00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:27.000
 and sin

00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:27.360
 for that

00:23:27.360 --> 00:23:27.799
 particular

00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:28.180
 girl

00:23:28.180 --> 00:23:28.799
 by name

00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:29.700
 it wasn't

00:23:29.700 --> 00:23:30.059
 great

00:23:30.059 --> 00:23:32.500
 but there

00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:33.259
 is something

00:23:33.259 --> 00:23:33.980
 about that

00:23:33.980 --> 00:23:34.500
 kind of

00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:34.980
 openness

00:23:34.980 --> 00:23:36.200
 and transparency

00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:37.079
 you know

00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:37.700
 we live in a

00:23:37.700 --> 00:23:38.059
 culture

00:23:38.059 --> 00:23:38.500
 don't we

00:23:38.500 --> 00:23:38.700
 now

00:23:38.700 --> 00:23:38.980
 where we

00:23:38.980 --> 00:23:39.259
 have to

00:23:39.259 --> 00:23:39.600
 talk

00:23:39.600 --> 00:23:39.880
 about

00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:40.440
 everything

00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:44.740
 but we

00:23:44.740 --> 00:23:45.200
 find it

00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:45.860
 most difficult

00:23:45.860 --> 00:23:46.380
 to talk

00:23:46.380 --> 00:23:46.880
 about the

00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:47.180
 things

00:23:47.180 --> 00:23:47.740
 that might

00:23:47.740 --> 00:23:49.180
 really be

00:23:49.180 --> 00:23:49.559
 messing

00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:50.120
 us up

00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:53.459
 and some

00:23:53.459 --> 00:23:53.599
 of you

00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:53.859
 are sitting

00:23:53.859 --> 00:23:54.079
 here

00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:54.339
 saying

00:23:54.339 --> 00:23:54.599
 well

00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:55.159
 you've

00:23:55.159 --> 00:23:55.239
 got to

00:23:55.239 --> 00:23:55.719
 be careful

00:23:55.719 --> 00:23:56.059
 with this

00:23:56.059 --> 00:23:56.479
 ministry

00:23:56.479 --> 00:23:56.919
 of healing

00:23:56.919 --> 00:23:57.279
 stuff

00:23:57.279 --> 00:23:58.019
 you really

00:23:58.019 --> 00:23:58.359
 do

00:23:58.359 --> 00:23:59.199
 because you

00:23:59.199 --> 00:23:59.659
 can't

00:23:59.659 --> 00:24:00.639
 let people's

00:24:00.639 --> 00:24:01.399
 expectations

00:24:01.399 --> 00:24:01.959
 down

00:24:01.959 --> 00:24:03.299
 well I get

00:24:03.299 --> 00:24:03.659
 that

00:24:03.659 --> 00:24:04.359
 it's

00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:05.139
 understandable

00:24:05.139 --> 00:24:05.979
 anxiety

00:24:05.979 --> 00:24:07.079
 but on the

00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:07.739
 other hand

00:24:07.739 --> 00:24:09.500
 even when we

00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:10.019
 go to the

00:24:10.019 --> 00:24:10.359
 doctors

00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:10.899
 the doctor

00:24:10.899 --> 00:24:11.500
 doesn't always

00:24:11.500 --> 00:24:11.919
 make us

00:24:11.919 --> 00:24:12.279
 better

00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:12.699
 doesn't it

00:24:12.699 --> 00:24:12.939
 it doesn't

00:24:12.939 --> 00:24:13.239
 mean we

00:24:13.239 --> 00:24:13.579
 won't go

00:24:13.579 --> 00:24:13.959
 back to

00:24:13.959 --> 00:24:14.439
 the doctor

00:24:14.439 --> 00:24:15.159
 ever again

00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:17.960
 might think

00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:18.560
 about changing

00:24:18.560 --> 00:24:19.259
 our doctor

00:24:19.259 --> 00:24:24.440
 why are we

00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:25.620
 oversensitive

00:24:25.620 --> 00:24:26.460
 about that

00:24:26.460 --> 00:24:28.660
 bearing in

00:24:28.660 --> 00:24:29.160
 mind that I

00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:29.620
 said we're

00:24:29.620 --> 00:24:30.200
 not here to

00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:30.680
 manipulate

00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:31.360
 people

00:24:31.360 --> 00:24:33.380
 we're here

00:24:33.380 --> 00:24:34.220
 to try and

00:24:34.220 --> 00:24:35.060
 allow God

00:24:35.060 --> 00:24:35.680
 to work

00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:36.400
 through us

00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:38.200
 to deliver

00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:39.160
 healing and

00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:39.860
 wholeness

00:24:39.860 --> 00:24:43.060
 I can't

00:24:43.060 --> 00:24:43.540
 promise

00:24:43.539 --> 00:24:45.059
 that you

00:24:45.059 --> 00:24:45.420
 will all

00:24:45.420 --> 00:24:45.740
 live to

00:24:45.740 --> 00:24:46.119
 the age

00:24:46.119 --> 00:24:47.019
 of 109

00:24:47.019 --> 00:24:47.559
 and be

00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:47.960
 cycling

00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:48.359
 through

00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:48.879
 Cleveland

00:24:48.879 --> 00:24:50.720
 when you

00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:51.099
 die

00:24:51.099 --> 00:24:52.899
 for I

00:24:52.899 --> 00:24:53.399
 would love

00:24:53.399 --> 00:24:54.139
 to believe

00:24:54.139 --> 00:24:55.539
 love to

00:24:55.539 --> 00:24:55.899
 think

00:24:55.899 --> 00:24:56.359
 love to

00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:56.799
 see

00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:58.639
 that as a

00:24:58.639 --> 00:24:59.099
 member of

00:24:59.099 --> 00:24:59.799
 this church

00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:02.599
 you made

00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:03.680
 your contribution

00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:05.799
 to ensure

00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:06.440
 that this

00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:06.920
 house

00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:08.319
 was a

00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:08.799
 house of

00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:09.200
 healing

00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:09.960
 and a

00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:10.399
 house of

00:25:10.399 --> 00:25:11.039
 wholeness

00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:12.339
 where people

00:25:12.339 --> 00:25:13.119
 got better

00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:14.339
 where people's

00:25:14.339 --> 00:25:15.679
 behaviors were

00:25:15.679 --> 00:25:16.639
 refashioned in

00:25:16.639 --> 00:25:17.279
 the power of

00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:17.799
 the spirit

00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:20.679
 and I can't

00:25:20.679 --> 00:25:21.500
 think anybody

00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:22.419
 would be against

00:25:22.419 --> 00:25:22.739
 that

00:25:22.739 --> 00:25:24.879
 so why don't

00:25:24.879 --> 00:25:25.959
 we go and

00:25:25.959 --> 00:25:26.259
 do

00:25:26.259 --> 00:25:29.239
 in the name

00:25:29.239 --> 00:25:30.179
 of our amazing

00:25:30.179 --> 00:25:30.579
 God

00:25:30.579 --> 00:25:31.079
 Father

00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:31.579
 Son

00:25:31.579 --> 00:25:32.539
 and Holy

00:25:32.539 --> 00:25:33.079
 Spirit

00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:33.959
 the people

00:25:33.959 --> 00:25:34.479
 who agreed

00:25:34.479 --> 00:25:35.379
 said together

00:25:35.380 --> 00:25:37.380
 Amen

00:25:38.940 --> 00:25:39.160
 Amen

00:25:39.160 --> 00:26:09.140
 Thank you.
