You will. Colossians chapter three verse twelve Colossians chapter three verse twelve judges, and therefore, as God 's chosen people, holy and dearly beloved, or dearly love, love yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Therefore, as God 's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. And the first declaration that is stated there is who we are and who are we. We are God 's chosen people and what are we. We are holy and dearly loved, and as holy and dearly loved, people, we are to dress appropriately with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience now between your dreams and are our daily life we have. We have trials, temptations testings difficulties joyous happiness things coming together well, everywhere, all of life coming in in in that sandwich of things and we know that some of us in I've I stated before that I don't like to take tests in all and Anaheim. I was going to say that again today that I decided I would say that they got something on my kid that got up as you know something you should do is not like that now there's some people who like school, unlike tests, Rhonda Linda Yost, Paul off it out this cool features you know that others live. I miss someone, then, is a leading art, Jen Jen said Jan Jan Ms. Janice are you sorry now I just now lets why I'm not as full-featured as I miss Jason. The people in they probably are. Debbie Jenkins missing from the classroom. I would know what, but you know there are teachers and teach Islam education in a level generally located Juno and HHS. Well, are you when you have completed all your education and completed ER degrees in Elrond. She does very well attached and all the classes I'm taking online. I listened to the lecturers I outline the lectures I outline the book. I do all of this and this is in the record is the visiting record of full report. Sometimes this is correct, run a healthy on the tacit balloon bouquet and death she doesn't have to study. She doesn't have to looking like you. She doesn't have to do anything and she said while traveling in and sees Mister it's right here, searching through the book during a seminar in Athens last last NR have to take that it was like hitting what that it is an open book' but that's okay and and you know I I studied it, I've done it all. I'm outlined and I spent hours in preparation. She comes and sits down with you. The answer is just drives me know and cells that you have that ability downmarket in us a good thing so people know that it tests are not just depend on the individual dislike stress. Stress is something that everyone feels it's just some people feel the differently and the ideas is that if we deal with obstacles and we deal with problems we deal with them on a continual basis to become something that is normal I thought you only look at our schedules and we look at people who say, well, you know, some people look at their schedule and they say it's full. They made on another person their schedules for the other. Not present in their schedules fallen one person as the housewife another person as a yellow accident factor in another one as a KCl Sion organization Jan over thousands of people and they all say their schedules full Jones. It's a perspective thing. So whenever we so whenever we look at how that our perspective about ourselves and about what's going on in our life, we have to put it in a balance of what God sees in us, and what God places in us as opportunities to be able to live our life and to live it to its fullest yell for myself, I'm it. I'm not good at taking tests, but perhaps that's why I strive to present the word of God in a connected manner. I try to preach in the way that in all things make sense and that hopefully we can follow them from point a to be the CD and you know, come to a conclusion because I know that if I can follow it, maybe you won't either, so I try to keep it this principle. But this person was keep it simple stupid enough to try to follow some principles and in the presentation, we try to present the truth of the word of God, ill put together with the truth about life and so that the children can come together and make sense and that even when it doesn't make sense that that's where the bridge of faith and then they were able to connect our faith in God and putting this together and are likely. So the reality of the word that is the reality of our life with two very real world we live in. We live in the world of faith is a very real world we live in everyday life. It is a very real-world entities when the children come together the realities of truth that enable us to face obstacles. The gelatin in a place of hope and confidence limits dealing with everyday issues are whether dealing with life-and-death. We have the ability to look at it and deal with it in a way that has a spiritual perspective. So the reality of the word in the reality of life connecting the dots connecting the dots in a way that makes sense, so faith will be tested. Our faith is going to be tested and referred to have to maintain our faith in difficult times in a difficult environment and the focus moves from events and circumstances and the and and the interface and Wilson events and circumstances. What is the spirit inside of us that spirit inside of us and I came across this quote that says, I think most of us are looking for calling and not a job. Most of us, like the assembly line worker have jobs that are too small for our spirits jobs that are not big enough for people being discontent is not a bad thing. Godliness with contentment is great gain. The Scriptures so what's going on is that it is a life boat, but your job is not what I'm saying that the idea is that for the spirit inside of us is greater than the enclosure that we find ourselves in that God has a way of telling us to break down the boundaries break down the barriers that we are to escape the prison that we have for ourselves in an presence are walls we build to protect ourselves. There are security blankets. There are walls and security that we built ourselves to protect ourselves and end up becoming our own prisons. So yeah, I'm talking about in Florida. These exotic animals have I know people. While this is a big rash of people buying exotic snakes and animals, and so on. The pythons see that on whatever weather Channel something that there was his factory fill this place was raising and breeding exotic animals got wiped out in the storm. Now they're all these icons and exotic snakes loose in the Everglades. They are putting out this call. These are not natural to this environment, and then introduced someplace else and they are going to create havoc in the in the Everglades because of their disruption of the natural order of things while I've never been snagged via Python, a Python doesn't have venom was a dupe squeezes you here feel squeezed in your spirit, something that is not natural to your environment is putting the squeeze on, and that's that's the enemy of our soul trying to make sure we don't get out or get too big, or expect too much, or challenge us in trying to constrict us so that the life of the spirit of the breath of life that God is given us is somehow constructed so that we put limitations upon what we can become in a spiritual manner as spiritual life in a godly life, and this is why as we look at the Scriptures were we supposed to do as God 's chosen people. We are his chosen individual. God tells us you can even shoot. We can choose if he chose us and called us by name and we heard that call and that we responded to that phone is not the will of God, then it should be lost that all should come to repentance. It is God 's will that the entire world. We say that you are welcome to church where my mouth. When God. He does we build bigger churches and but we have to have a bigger spirit is the Chinese and bargains with our spirit, hold it in check to limit the size. We feel that we can achieve few weeks ago I read a quote that says that we are need to get our own human logic says that we will will will will restrict our beliefs to what we can create as really been something that's been speaking of this kind of going over and over my head will restrict our beliefs. What we feel we can create the energy of a process developers. I has a biblical perspective, that's human perspective. And so we we look at our life and we look at what we can do and we try to build our life around what we can do and God is trying to influence us by his Spirit to recognize what he can do it online, it doesn't mean we have to change locations and change jobs or anything, it means that we have to look at them that the boundaries that we place on ourselves by our own limitations we look at the boundaries that we place on ourselves by our own limitations and we look at heavily sanguine. Just this one. How does God look at just that and how does God in his spirit look at just that part about using your thoughts will lead your actions, your thoughts will lead your actions. There is a direct correlation between what I think about myself and the way my life go so problems twenty three seven four, as he think it in his heart so is the message Bible says he will be as stingy him himself as a man thinks his heart, so he has added that the manliest things you would nearly be as living cell and whenever we look at our thoughts, leaving us. We are looking mostly at the stinginess and I know somebody's engine will looking at each other with great trouble now is what resulted, outside the church that stingy and welcoming here in a stampede of a modified those who are are are are you know life is and whatever in a little stingy before, so there is a direct correlation between what I think about myself and the way life goes. If that in that is a true statement because so they have it in that and with the truth of that statement, and we must control how we talk to ourselves. We must control how we talk to ourselves will be stingy with who you are and I like to read about it on your tractors and cars. I've wanted to see one of my dreams. It was great. They imagine that in our you ever expect to pay for laughs and laughter. We would be standing here. Anything that but nobody can afford, that's beside the point. Businessmen can dream, but the ideas in AC is not about challenging because it isn't my challenging hard to believe my dreams, it's me challenging me to be able to be capable of achieving goals. I can't blame someone else for the dream from either the failures of my dreams. I can't blame somebody else for the failure of my dreams. Because if God is giving you your dreams. No one are taken from you. What do you tell yourself how do you build your faith is in God is in charge, and that's a place of security at the place of security knowing that God is in charge. And God has a way of working all things together for good to go to love him are called according to his purpose. God, since I wanted to take on another sola atavism as God 's divine providence in charge of your life and the plan is an and is applied. There is a purpose behind the life that we live because there is a Creator of the universe who would we react in our mothers will and formed us and gave us hope the dreams of personalities and whenever we are and what they're now what are we going to do with it. How are we going to be inspired by Habakkuk a few weeks ago we spoke about Habakkuk two three, had a vision that will surely come. The vision is for an appointed time because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it's not going to it means that there is a process that we have to go through as change and development, our faith will be tested. Joseph Lamarck was my favorite characters, and it often referred to Joseph 's faith was tested and the standalone in the well, where his brothers through him and to survive as a slave in a foreign country into the patient with his dreams that they were going to happen quickly and ever all the circumstances that he surround himself with no choice of his own, said it would never happen. His strength was tested from the pit to Egypt. The potter 's house to present his focus was tested family doubted his dreams. Those closest to him resented him also, whom he trusted falsely accused him if he would've been fixated on his difficulties, it would produce disillusionment with Joseph found that in himself and his dreams. It was something there and there was a readiness and are we ready to do for the change, if Joseph had kept negativity and depression and loneliness, whenever for women ever heard of him. There is not another forgotten slave in Egypt, but he had drained the one allowing South to die in a dream that one allow himself to die and these are lifted the dreams that would be alive inside a method of birth in the spirit of God, dozens wounded line for the opportunities that slavery, help for him, he would've not been buying for the opportunity to present help for him is a Joseph had to argue with the negative and to argue with the negative. We argue with the positive, but went on when our dreams are. There are no promises are there. We got to argue with the negative. We got to argue with the destroyers of our faith below Fox's the destroyed. If your calls and when Doctor King was not to argue the promises against the negativity and against the disillusionment and he has the failures of life as we got to see God is in charge. God has a purpose and I will work things out in our life. So we got to argue with the negativity argumentative from a spiritual perspective that says my spirit is of God. The birth of my dreams is something that God has done for me is given them to me so we must control our self talk, talk, or it will control us. We have beliefs that regulate. But remember this one. What's the difference between the thermostat in the thermometer one sets the temperature another report. We have lots of the monitors when lots of people who tell us what the temperature is if I hear Rangers get into long-winded signs out. Won't be long. While not the thermostat thermometers at the moment thermostat set the temperature thermostat set the temperature to be hot or cold, wet air conditioning. We turn on and the thermostat set the temperature and ECR phase of our spiritual and together we set the temperature of our life, we set the expectations it is put there by our faith in God. I believe sets the limits on the use of our potential. Our beliefs set the limits on the use of our potential if we all believe we won't achieve what do we believe believes argument. All of them. I do believe that argument all rail. Thank you for the Lancelot had a dollar bill, the lame drug in the dollar bill, the malaise that argument all around the liaison was all about the way that I will give them a dollar bill: this is not always get a dollar bill Delaney 's argument are male. What happens is whenever you believe in the dust in the interaction. Nothing changes and if your belief is a move mutual action. Nothing changes. Now I've done that story over and over again till it's almost you know what there's no. But then I thought I imagine this is something else. When we see our belief and action. When we say belief and action. Another persons life. People begin to respond to it. Now if you would have been limited by your fears. I'll look for old age child will need the wonder either make a full out a way when I get up there is not to give me a dollar when I get out there. We do all this stuff and I had wanted to do it. Keep this in RC. That's a very same thing we do with our beliefs about our life and about new opportunities that come our way. But, and this is where each of us know I keep saying on Easter Sunday roof off the place if people will see your faith in action. They will want to participate in the end, if they see how God 's work in your life to change you. They will want to know how that they can receive the same thing in their own believe that I'll had around one's. But the idea is that when you start seeing something take place in other people 's lives and use. I see the first thing is the gas in most of the first thing is to get our belief to motivate us to do something if we don't change if we don't act upon our belief, nothing changes, nothing changed. I don't care how much faith you have if you don't have enough of item have enough to motivate me to do something than nothing will ever change. But– as you motivate yourself and as you see it happening. You start responding you use a insane now. Somebody else. And while young guy did that for them in the event of earthly desires all their special God really like them and not being easily make a full life to the very same thing to keep junior seat of the various as for believing what God is going to the very simple thing, but yet we we offering the fear think I think of anger, fear why didn't you give it what what what what if I were given out hundred dollar bill on the Navy, which will affect how you one, because you wouldn't believe there was really under you and believe it was real. You wouldn't believe that you only would get stored away hundred dollars yeah yeah yeah I don't believe you like to have it see how we do this wildlife are given with the house and all my gosh, that's generated after the lessee for a thousand bucks does it scare us to death the believe God to do something in our life 's were squeezed. We're in it. When we are in our own little prison of safety. What does it take to get us to move what does it take to help us living God is not driving us with the with he's calling us issue here is voice is shaky resource guide cost a lot to move from where we are to where he wants us to be in Utah. The shepherd leaves a sheepish. This shape driven men are driven by God, we are led by the spirit God doesn't drive you to read the Scriptures, God doesn't drive you to try the leaves you see the difference between going to have been going to hell the devil drives people into hell with addictions. God leads us into heaven by his spirit choice, God says don't do certain things because they know those laws he gave to us will protect us and provide for us and keep us from addictive behavior that will destroy our life until God says don't do lists because you will be the behavior that will enslave you want to find you and have to make that spirit, I put inside of you for good. And God, Lawrence says I call you by name. I formed you in your mother 's will. My gaming purpose again. Glad I came to opportunity. I didn't let you know here and I voice and follow me in doing what is right to give you the strength to do it on power you will break the chains that bind you also to blame. If you might have life and have it abundantly. It was that a little thinking well which way should I go while I have enough faith to move me in a positive direction, Florida. They believe that the spirit of God really speaking to me as he said he would open the zoning to give away one dollar again a new way to what you go on your way through meticulous in everything three dollars twenty four twelve for our flat eighty yeah five. What you doing now is now trying to get out there and when I do thought to cumulate to build beliefs, thoughts accumulate to build our beliefs, faith comes by hearing Hebrews eleven. Once they comes by hearing the word of God is like viruses do not forsake the settling of yourselves together meeting you have any having a church full on every Sunday is not read on my part. It's that easy. Abbas need to be together to hear the word of God. Every week more than one every week you once a week. Why, because it accumulates. It accumulates over time. It builds up they my hearing the word also means you what we increase our faith. Every time we sit here every time we hear the word of God. Everything we sing the praises and sang the song we are building our faith. This isn't just dumb luck on the unanswered regional thank offering with money. The offering entity going to mount a volume would put all my money and get that far away. This bar phase is something that accumulates is something that comes together makes sense if so, they come together makes sense in our spirit makes sense of our heart. And when that takes place in life begins to change and change brings about change in our life, which has affected one of the people and reflect upon other lives in the Congress reality like we spoke in Sunday school, though the sun is the morning and we talked about how that something we go through life give their life to Christ just before they die and go to heaven. They get the same reward as a person was raised in the church, but the difference is this the person who has been raised and live the Christian life, not just raised in the church to live the Christian life. They are going to have soul much greater than the effect upon everyone around them because of how they've affected other people 's lives one who has lived their life for themselves and for evil they get into heaven but their influence, driving influence is gone. Those who live for God every day of their life from the state for the time they die. What happens is they have a godly influence upon people 's lives that is what life is about faith comes by hearing faith accumulates builds as we here the word of God. Therefore, as God 's chosen people. We have the divine creative spirit alive within us. There are no limits to the spirit of life is why it's so hard sometimes and we feel so limited, because the spirit of Cyrus doesn't know a limitation, the spirit of God inside of you doesn't know limitations may have to put limitations on the spirit of God, because we don't think we can believe that we don't think we can create the universe, but we create our universe by the word we speak we create the world we live in by the words that we speak in God is saying, speak the word of truth and love and forgiveness, and put on these flows the Don has given us as chosen people you week we create our world we create what's around us by what we say but what we do. We are creating. Can we create according to the spirit of God, so as God 's chosen people to speak his word in the way that is healing is restoring his blessing patient trying soothing, helping we draw to ourselves who we feel worthy of receiving. We dropped ourselves that we feel worthy of receiving it. Oh well, we are not worthy of God, but he makes us worthy by his forgiveness and help business. There's an old course, it says one touch of the Masters hand. One word he has full command have faith in what he wants to do. That's all. PS you are asking for us to do the impossible is asking for us to do what his birth in the heart with the Scripture say our text that God has chosen you, was he chose a new as God 's chosen people. We are holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, competence comes from compassion when the remedial compasses in the word compassion and compassion gives us a compass to have a sense of direction, so close yourself with a sense of direction kindness is of the same kind. We are of the same kind as God we have a compass that is in our compassion. We are the same kind as God kindness, humility, a spirit of submission to God gentleness, we are free from harshness in patients bearing pains and trials calmly, without complaint, because we know that God is in charge as we look for order in our minds and our faith, we find that as his child, who are we. We are God 's chosen people. What are we. We are holy and we are love, are you holding in love. God 's eyes. Yes, so if you feel squeeze. Your spirit is greater than the limitations that you put on with God. There are no limitations, it just has to bring us to the point that we can move into the event is the layout and takeYou will. Colossians chapter three verse twelve Colossians chapter three verse twelve judges, and therefore, as God 's chosen people, holy and dearly beloved, or dearly love, love yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Therefore, as God 's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. And the first declaration that is stated there is who we are and who are we. We are God 's chosen people and what are we. We are holy and dearly loved, and as holy and dearly loved, people, we are to dress appropriately with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience now between your dreams and are our daily life we have. We have trials, temptations testings difficulties joyous happiness things coming together well, everywhere, all of life coming in in in that sandwich of things and we know that some of us in I've I stated before that I don't like to take tests in all and Anaheim. I was going to say that again today that I decided I would say that they got something on my kid that got up as you know something you should do is not like that now there's some people who like school, unlike tests, Rhonda Linda Yost, Paul off it out this cool features you know that others live.

Debbie Jenkins missing from the classroom. I would know what, but you know there are teachers and teach Islam education in a level generally located Juno and HHS.

I can't blame someone else for the dream from either the failures of my dreams. I can't blame somebody else for the failure of my dreams. Because if God is giving you your dreams. No one are taken from you. What do you tell yourself how do you build your faith is in God is in charge, and that's a place of security at the place of security knowing that God is in charge. And God has a way of working all things together for good to go to love him are called according to his purpose. God, since I wanted to take on another sola atavism as God 's divine providence in charge of your life and the plan is an and is applied. There is a purpose behind the life that we live because there is a Creator of the universe who would we react in our mothers will and formed us and gave us hope the dreams of personalities and whenever we are and what they're now what are we going to do with it. How are we going to be inspired by Habakkuk a few weeks ago we spoke about Habakkuk two three, had a vision that will surely come. The vision is for an appointed time because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it's not going to it means that there is a process that we have to go through as change and development, our faith will be tested. Joseph Lamarck was my favorite characters, and it often referred to Joseph 's faith was tested and the standalone in the well, where his brothers through him and to survive as a slave in a foreign country into the patient with his dreams that they were going to happen quickly and ever all the circumstances that he surround himself with no choice of his own, said it would never happen. His strength was tested from the pit to Egypt. The potter 's house to present his focus was tested family doubted his dreams. Those closest to him resented him also, whom he trusted falsely accused him if he would've been fixated on his difficulties, it would produce disillusionment with Joseph found that in himself and his dreams. It was something there and there was a readiness and are we ready to do for the change, if Joseph had kept negativity and depression and loneliness, whenever for women ever heard of him. There is not another forgotten slave in Egypt, but he had drained the one allowing South to die in a dream that one allow himself to die and these are lifted the dreams that would be alive inside a method of birth in the spirit of God, dozens wounded line for the opportunities that slavery, help for him, he would've not been buying for the opportunity to present help for him is a Joseph had to argue with the negative and to argue with the negative. We argue with the positive, but went on when our dreams are. There are no promises are there. We got to argue with the negative. We got to argue with the destroyers of our faith below Fox's the destroyed. If your calls and when Doctor King was not to argue the promises against the negativity and against the disillusionment and he has the failures of life as we got to see God is in charge. God has a purpose and I will work things out in our life. So we got to argue with the negativity argumentative from a spiritual perspective that says my spirit is of God. The birth of my dreams is something that God has done for me is given them to me so we must control our self talk, talk, or it will control us. We have beliefs that regulate. But remember this one. What's the difference between the thermostat in the thermometer one sets the temperature another report. We have lots of the monitors when lots of people who tell us what the temperature is if I hear Rangers get into long-winded signs out. Won't be long. While not the thermostat thermometers at the moment thermostat set the temperature thermostat set the temperature to be hot or cold, wet air conditioning. We turn on and the thermostat set the temperature and ECR phase of our spiritual and together we set the temperature of our life, we set the expectations it is put there by our faith in God. I believe sets the limits on the use of our potential. Our beliefs set the limits on the use of our potential if we all believe we won't achieve what do we believe believes argument. All of them. I do believe that argument all rail. Thank you for the Lancelot had a dollar bill, the lame drug in the dollar bill, the malaise that argument all around the liaison was all about the way that I will give them a dollar bill: this is not always get a dollar bill Delaney 's argument are male. What happens is whenever you believe in the dust in the interaction. Nothing changes and if your belief is a move mutual action. Nothing changes. Now I've done that story over and over again till it's almost you know what there's no. But then I thought I imagine this is something else. When we see our belief and action. When we say belief and action. Another persons life. People begin to respond to it. Now if you would have been limited by your fears. I'll look for old age child will need the wonder either make a full out a way when I get up there is not to give me a dollar when I get out there. We do all this stuff and I had wanted to do it. Keep this in RC. That's a very same thing we do with our beliefs about our life and about new opportunities that come our way. But, and this is where each of us know I keep saying on Easter Sunday roof off the place if people will see your faith in action. They will want to participate in the end, if they see how God 's work in your life to change you. They will want to know how that they can receive the same thing in their own believe that I'll had around one's. But the idea is that when you start seeing something take place in other people 's lives and use. I see the first thing is the gas in most of the first thing is to get our belief to motivate us to do something if we don't change if we don't act upon our belief, nothing changes, nothing changed. I don't care how much faith you have if you don't have enough of item have enough to motivate me to do something than nothing will ever change. But– as you motivate yourself and as you see it happening. You start responding you use a insane now. Somebody else. And while young guy did that for them in the event of earthly desires all their special God really like them and not being easily make a full life to the very same thing to keep junior seat of the various as for believing what God is going to the very simple thing, but yet we we offering the fear think I think of anger, fear why didn't you give it what what what what if I were given out hundred dollar bill on the Navy, which will affect how you one, because you wouldn't believe there was really under you and believe it was real. You wouldn't believe that you only would get stored away hundred dollars yeah yeah yeah I don't believe you like to have it see how we do this wildlife are given with the house and all my gosh, that's generated after the lessee for a thousand bucks does it scare us to death the believe God to do something in our life 's were squeezed. We're in it. When we are in our own little prison of safety. What does it take to get us to move what does it take to help us living God is not driving us with the with he's calling us issue here is voice is shaky resource guide cost a lot to move from where we are to where he wants us to be in Utah. The shepherd leaves a sheepish. This shape driven men are driven by God, we are led by the spirit God doesn't drive you to read the Scriptures, God doesn't drive you to try the leaves you see the difference between going to have been going to hell the devil drives people into hell with addictions. God leads us into heaven by his spirit choice, God says don't do certain things because they know those laws he gave to us will protect us and provide for us and keep us from addictive behavior that will destroy our life until God says don't do lists because you will be the behavior that will enslave you want to find you and have to make that spirit, I put inside of you for good. And God, Lawrence says I call you by name. I formed you in your mother 's will. My gaming purpose again. Glad I came to opportunity. I didn't let you know here and I voice and follow me in doing what is right to give you the strength to do it on power you will break the chains that bind you also to blame. If you might have life and have it abundantly. It was that a little thinking well which way should I go while I have enough faith to move me in a positive direction, Florida. They believe that the spirit of God really speaking to me as he said he would open the zoning to give away one dollar again a new way to what you go on your way through meticulous in everything three dollars twenty four twelve for our flat eighty yeah five. What you doing now is now trying to get out there and when I do thought to cumulate to build beliefs, thoughts accumulate to build our beliefs, faith comes by hearing Hebrews eleven. Once they comes by hearing the word of God is like viruses do not forsake the settling of yourselves together meeting you have any having a church full on every Sunday is not read on my part. It's that easy. Abbas need to be together to hear the word of God. Every week more than one every week you once a week. Why, because it accumulates. It accumulates over time. It builds up they my hearing the word also means you what we increase our faith. Every time we sit here every time we hear the word of God. Everything we sing the praises and sang the song we are building our faith. This isn't just dumb luck on the unanswered regional thank offering with money. The offering entity going to mount a volume would put all my money and get that far away. This bar phase is something that accumulates is something that comes together makes sense if so, they come together makes sense in our spirit makes sense of our heart. And when that takes place in life begins to change and change brings about change in our life, which has affected one of the people and reflect upon other lives in the Congress reality like we spoke in Sunday school, though the sun is the morning and we talked about how that something we go through life give their life to Christ just before they die and go to heaven. They get the same reward as a person was raised in the church, but the difference is this the person who has been raised and live the Christian life, not just raised in the church to live the Christian life. They are going to have soul much greater than the effect upon everyone around them because of how they've affected other people 's lives one who has lived their life for themselves and for evil they get into heaven but their influence, driving influence is gone. Those who live for God every day of their life from the state for the time they die. What happens is they have a godly influence upon people 's lives that is what life is about faith comes by hearing faith accumulates builds as we here the word of God. Therefore, as God 's chosen people. We have the divine creative spirit alive within us. There are no limits to the spirit of life is why it's so hard sometimes and we feel so limited, because the spirit of Cyrus doesn't know a limitation, the spirit of God inside of you doesn't know limitations may have to put limitations on the spirit of God, because we don't think we can believe that we don't think we can create the universe, but we create our universe by the word we speak we create the world we live in by the words that we speak in God is saying, speak the word of truth and love and forgiveness, and put on these flows the Don has given us as chosen people you week we create our world we create what's around us by what we say but what we do. We are creating. Can we create according to the spirit of God, so as God 's chosen people to speak his word in the way that is healing is restoring his blessing patient trying soothing, helping we draw to ourselves who we feel worthy of receiving. We dropped ourselves that we feel worthy of receiving it. Oh well, we are not worthy of God, but he makes us worthy by his forgiveness and help business. There's an old course, it says one touch of the Masters hand. One word he has full command have faith in what he wants to do. That's all. PS you are asking for us to do the impossible is asking for us to do what his birth in the heart with the Scripture say our text that God has chosen you, was he chose a new as God 's chosen people. We are holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, competence comes from compassion when the remedial compasses in the word compassion and compassion gives us a compass to have a sense of direction, so close yourself with a sense of direction kindness is of the same kind. We are of the same kind as God we have a compass that is in our compassion. We are the same kind as God kindness, humility, a spirit of submission to God gentleness, we are free from harshness in patients bearing pains and trials calmly, without complaint, because we know that God is in charge as we look for order in our minds and our faith, we find that as his child, who are we. We are God 's chosen people. What are we. We are holy and we are love, are you holding in love. God 's eyes. Yes, so if you feel squeeze. Your spirit is greater than the limitations that you put on with God. There are no limitations, it just has to bring us to the point that we can move into the event is the layout and take
