Good morning. How many of you,
00:00:17.23\00:00:22.06

Alright, who
wants to be unhappy,
00:00:26.33\00:00:28.96
no one there. Alright.
00:00:30.76\00:00:32.23
You know when
we study the Bible.
00:00:33.30\00:00:38.33
The Bible provides an
understanding regarding
00:00:38.33\00:00:43.50
how to be happy
and we all know that's
00:00:43.50\00:00:47.10
everybody wants to be happy,
00:00:47.10\00:00:48.80
I used to, I used to
live these beautiful island of
00:00:50.40\00:00:55.00
Hawaii and these
island is known to be
00:00:55.00\00:01:01.80
a paradise for some people.
00:01:01.80\00:01:03.83
And yes it was
beautiful place and people are
00:01:05.20\00:01:09.43
willing to pay
less money to be there.
00:01:09.43\00:01:12.53
And people are seeking
for this happiness this rest
00:01:14.33\00:01:20.86
and they are willing to go far
00:01:22.60\00:01:26.10
travel hours and
hours on Aeroplane
00:01:27.40\00:01:31.43

00:01:32.50\00:01:36.36
and Baggies and, and
finally go this place
00:01:36.36\00:01:41.06
where they can
just relax and be happy.
00:01:41.06\00:01:44.50
You know there is
something about us
00:01:45.80\00:01:47.66
we have I called
paradise seeking syndrome.
00:01:47.66\00:01:53.13
Do you have that?
Are you always looking
00:01:53.73\00:01:56.73
for a paradise
where you can go and
00:01:56.73\00:01:59.03
enjoy and just be
happy well this morning
00:01:59.03\00:02:01.96
I want share with you
about paradise in the Bible.
00:02:01.96\00:02:06.10
Turn your Bible with
me to the book of Genesis.
00:02:07.33\00:02:09.66
The book of Genesis chapter 2.
00:02:10.70\00:02:13.76
Genesis Chapter 2.
00:02:23.36\00:02:25.20
We all know about these
story the Garden of Eden.
00:02:33.93\00:02:38.20
Let's read it Genesis
Chapter 2 and verse 8.
00:02:38.86\00:02:45.13
And the LORD God planted
a garden eastward in Eden
00:02:46.20\00:02:50.13
and there he put the
man whom he had formed
00:02:50.86\00:02:54.23
and by the way
how many of you know
00:02:54.43\00:02:56.10
the meaning of these word Eden.
00:02:56.10\00:02:58.50
Guess what? It
does not mean paradise.
00:03:00.43\00:03:03.73
Based upon the
original language it means
00:03:04.66\00:03:07.76
pleasure, delight.
00:03:09.16\00:03:12.10
I know today they were pleasure
00:03:13.13\00:03:14.96
doesn't sound so good.
00:03:15.50\00:03:16.80
If you tell your father
daddy I am going out tonight
00:03:16.80\00:03:19.23
to have some pleasure.
00:03:19.23\00:03:20.60
Son where are you
going? Right doesn't right
00:03:21.90\00:03:23.76
doesn't sounds so good.
00:03:23.76\00:03:24.86
But back in those days
when everything was without sin,
00:03:24.86\00:03:28.63
pleasure was may
I say pure pleasure.
00:03:29.10\00:03:32.76
So, it was a good
word. So, when the Bible says
00:03:33.80\00:03:36.50
garden of Eden. It
was Garden of pleasure
00:03:36.70\00:03:40.50
it was garden of
delight and happiness.
00:03:40.50\00:03:43.26
So, God gave this
garden to Adam and Eve
00:03:44.56\00:03:49.20
in order to make them happy.
00:03:49.60\00:03:52.20
So, God purpose in
many ways my friends
00:03:52.56\00:03:54.70
in many ways God's
purpose in a creation of men
00:03:54.90\00:03:58.63
yes to make them
in the image of God
00:03:59.26\00:04:03.13
but at the same
time to make them happy.
00:04:03.40\00:04:07.96
So, I wanted know,
I wanted to know from
00:04:09.86\00:04:12.46
the Bible what the
God do? What the God give
00:04:12.46\00:04:17.20
to Adam and Eve in
order to make them happy
00:04:17.20\00:04:21.10
in these Garden of
Eden a place of paradise.
00:04:21.60\00:04:27.00
Unless you the Bible
has the same. Alright,
00:04:27.36\00:04:30.00
in order for God
to make man happy
00:04:30.70\00:04:32.80
number one let's
read up verse again.
00:04:33.30\00:04:36.60
Genesis Chapter 2 and
verse 8 the Bible says
00:04:39.40\00:04:41.86
And the LORD God planted a what?
00:04:41.86\00:04:43.80
Garden eastward in
Eden and there were
00:04:44.46\00:04:48.90
in the Garden there he put
the man whom he had formed.
00:04:49.63\00:04:54.40
So, number one in order for God,
00:04:54.90\00:04:58.03
listen in order for
God to make man happy
00:04:58.66\00:05:02.80
God give him a
garden like environment,
00:05:02.80\00:05:08.60
natural environment.
So, therefore we can say
00:05:10.06\00:05:15.10
in order for God
to make men happy
00:05:15.10\00:05:17.26
God give him a good
home, good environment.
00:05:17.26\00:05:22.33
You see my
friends from the beginning
00:05:23.06\00:05:26.63
based upon the
story, we can see that
00:05:27.53\00:05:30.80
naturally we enjoy
natural environment.
00:05:31.03\00:05:35.96
What do you
think? Yeah. Yeah, we do
00:05:36.26\00:05:39.50
we like to see green things,
00:05:39.50\00:05:41.80
we like to see the trees,
we like to see the flowers.
00:05:41.80\00:05:45.23
Yes, yes, but why
is it that many people
00:05:45.23\00:05:49.46
living in the city.
00:05:49.46\00:05:50.46
Why? I know, I
know to make money.
00:05:53.10\00:05:55.76
Yeah, I know to make money,
00:05:56.60\00:05:57.90
but I mean but
naturally I mean who wants to
00:05:58.56\00:06:01.60
live in a city. If
you really think about it,
00:06:01.60\00:06:04.76
yes I know it's convenient,
yes many restaurants,
00:06:04.76\00:06:08.60
okay I got you, but
naturally my friends
00:06:08.60\00:06:11.83
who likes to say, oh!
oh! I love this country,
00:06:11.83\00:06:16.50
I love this, this, this
road, this black tarp road,
00:06:17.63\00:06:21.40
I just liked it. I
mean let me have something
00:06:21.40\00:06:24.90
even the people
live in the city,
00:06:24.90\00:06:26.30
even the people live in
the city when they can get away
00:06:26.70\00:06:30.76
have a little vacation
they want to go somewhere.
00:06:31.23\00:06:34.23
Where did they go? Where?
00:06:34.23\00:06:36.60
They every says, oh!
let's go have some vacation
00:06:37.33\00:06:40.20
in the traffic jam.
00:06:40.56\00:06:41.70
Oh! The pollution,
we need some of that.
00:06:43.70\00:06:46.00
We need some
pollution. Let's just go where
00:06:46.00\00:06:48.26
so many people are? You know,
00:06:48.56\00:06:50.40
get pushed in
the left and right,
00:06:50.40\00:06:52.00
yeah let's go there.
00:06:52.00\00:06:53.00
No one says things like
that? Right. Yeah! Even though
00:06:53.40\00:06:56.90
they live in a city
when they want to take rest,
00:06:56.90\00:06:59.53
where do they want to go.
00:06:59.90\00:07:01.30
Where? Outback. Right, Outback.
00:07:02.70\00:07:07.26
would you guys go
here? I don't know.
00:07:07.26\00:07:09.06
Oh! Beach okay alright.
00:07:10.30\00:07:12.36
But, people you know in the US,
00:07:12.86\00:07:14.63
we will go, I'm sure
you have some of these two.
00:07:14.63\00:07:16.50
I think mountains,
right and the river, ocean,
00:07:16.50\00:07:21.60
so even though people
are living in the city,
00:07:22.00\00:07:25.00
in the apartment,
what did they have
00:07:26.70\00:07:29.90
in their living room.
00:07:29.90\00:07:31.00
Oh! Yeah, besides
TV what else they have?
00:07:33.43\00:07:35.73
Oh! Yeah, plants, you
know, if you know anything about
00:07:36.80\00:07:39.20
Asian grandmothers.
Asian grandmothers oh!
00:07:39.20\00:07:45.00
if you ever visit them
it's like their living room,
00:07:45.60\00:07:48.96
it's like a green house.
00:07:48.96\00:07:49.96
They are actually growing rice
00:07:51.46\00:07:53.43
in the living room some of them,
00:07:54.50\00:07:57.03
I think some of
them are doing that
00:07:57.03\00:07:58.43
and so that just
shows that even though
00:07:59.13\00:08:01.46
we are living in the
city naturally the way we are,
00:08:01.46\00:08:05.70
the way we were
framed from the beginning
00:08:05.70\00:08:08.33
God knew garden that
we are going to be happy
00:08:09.03\00:08:14.53
in a natural environment,
alright. So in order
00:08:14.53\00:08:18.66
God to make men
happy God gave him
00:08:18.66\00:08:22.93
good environment
alright, so are you happy?
00:08:23.70\00:08:27.66
Yeah, just be surrounded
by trees and mountains
00:08:29.00\00:08:32.93
and waterfalls and
river and flowers and birds
00:08:32.93\00:08:36.36
and animals are you happy now?
00:08:36.36\00:08:38.30
Yes. But I don't know about you,
00:08:39.86\00:08:42.16
you know, I don't care if
the Grand Canyon is granger,
00:08:42.60\00:08:46.13
I don't care your
semi is incredible,
00:08:46.13\00:08:48.93
I don't care some of these
national parks are amazing,
00:08:48.93\00:08:52.70
but not own for me as a
man nothing is beautiful
00:08:52.70\00:08:58.83
when I'm hungry.
00:08:59.03\00:09:00.73
Yeah, that's it?
See this man says yes.
00:09:03.76\00:09:07.33
You see my friends let me,
let me give you a tip alright.
00:09:08.10\00:09:11.10
Ladies, you know, the
man is not thinking right
00:09:11.10\00:09:14.26
when he is
hungry, so feed him first
00:09:14.26\00:09:16.90
than have a
conversation. Alright. So, so,
00:09:17.93\00:09:21.93
it doesn't matter
how, how you know, good,
00:09:21.93\00:09:24.60
good things are I
mean, if you are not,
00:09:24.60\00:09:26.56
if you are not, if you are
not well feed and satisfied,
00:09:26.56\00:09:30.00
you cannot function
well. And I believe this is
00:09:30.60\00:09:32.56
the reason why we
have what I called
00:09:32.56\00:09:35.36
the second blessing.
00:09:35.36\00:09:37.76
Look with me Genesis
Chapter 2 and verse 9,
00:09:38.40\00:09:43.20
the Bible says, And out
of the ground made the LORD
00:09:44.23\00:09:47.66
God to grow every
tree that is what?
00:09:47.66\00:09:50.40
pleasant to the
sights, and good for food;
00:09:51.20\00:09:57.60
and those things are
what? They are good for food.
00:09:57.60\00:10:02.03
Therefore, I conclude
that when in order for God
00:10:02.76\00:10:06.43
to make men happy
God gave him good food.
00:10:06.43\00:10:11.46
Notice, we don't read
a Bible text that says
00:10:12.06\00:10:13.96
and then God put
an McDonald right
00:10:14.20\00:10:16.80
next to the garden.
00:10:16.80\00:10:19.23
I know it's not
there, but you know,
00:10:20.00\00:10:21.83
you got the point right.
00:10:22.23\00:10:23.80
So you know in many
cases even some scientists have
00:10:24.66\00:10:30.20
discovered that your emotion,
00:10:30.63\00:10:33.40
the way you will feel
many times is depended upon
00:10:33.40\00:10:36.36
what you eat. And I'm
sure you heard this saying
00:10:36.76\00:10:41.23
you are what you eat
and may I even suggest feel
00:10:41.60\00:10:45.76
the way that you
eat or what you eat
00:10:45.76\00:10:48.36
and that is all true. I
mean when ever you eaten
00:10:49.50\00:10:52.23
something late in the evening
00:10:52.23\00:10:53.73
like 11 p.m. or 12
a.m. you eat yourself pizza.
00:10:55.56\00:11:02.96
Yeah you will
get big large pizza
00:11:05.06\00:11:08.53
and then you eat that
and you just having good time
00:11:09.46\00:11:11.63
and you will go to bed
and next morning how you feel?
00:11:11.63\00:11:14.16
You feel like a
pizza. Yeah, yeah,
00:11:14.16\00:11:17.93
you are what you
eat and you feel one,
00:11:17.93\00:11:21.30
very slow right?
00:11:21.30\00:11:23.80
Yeah! But yeah, see
my friends in some cases
00:11:24.43\00:11:28.00
really what we put in our body
00:11:28.73\00:11:31.40
it influences our
mind and perhaps God knew.
00:11:32.30\00:11:35.43
I mean, I mean have
you ever eaten like really,
00:11:35.43\00:11:37.93
really healthy
food how do you feel?
00:11:37.93\00:11:39.93
Healthy right?
Energetic and happy, alright.
00:11:40.76\00:11:44.50
So, God knew what he was doing.
00:11:44.50\00:11:46.06
So, number one, in order
for God to make men happy
00:11:46.30\00:11:49.76
God gave him a good
environment and number 2
00:11:51.10\00:11:55.23
in order for God
to make men happy
00:11:55.23\00:11:56.93
God gave him good
food. So, are you happy now?
00:11:56.93\00:12:02.13
Yeah! You are living
in a good environment,
00:12:03.33\00:12:06.16
you are eating good
food, are you happy?
00:12:06.16\00:12:08.90
Now let me ask you something.
00:12:09.43\00:12:10.76
What the people
usually do right after they eat
00:12:12.00\00:12:14.90
in order to be
happier? They sleep.
00:12:14.90\00:12:19.70
God bless you, the
Bible says blessing number 3.
00:12:21.16\00:12:25.73
Look with me Genesis
chapter 2 and verse 15.
00:12:26.90\00:12:32.80
The Bible says And
the Lord God took the man
00:12:34.10\00:12:37.03
and put him into the
Garden of Eden to dress it
00:12:37.60\00:12:41.93
and to what? Keep it.
So, the Bible tells me that
00:12:41.93\00:12:46.23
God gave man an
occupation something to do.
00:12:46.23\00:12:51.43
So in order for
God to make men happy,
00:12:53.10\00:12:54.96
God gave him a job,
but let me have something,
00:12:54.96\00:12:59.30
if he have to name, if
he have to give a title
00:12:59.60\00:13:02.10
to Adam to give
a name to his job.
00:13:02.10\00:13:05.40
What was his job?
Gardener or farming,
00:13:05.40\00:13:10.63
I'm not saying we
all should be farmers,
00:13:11.23\00:13:13.83
I know we need to
have some businessman,
00:13:14.93\00:13:16.76
dentists and
doctors, I understand,
00:13:16.76\00:13:18.86
but my friends,
let me suggest to you
00:13:19.63\00:13:22.73
the happiest job is farming.
00:13:23.76\00:13:27.06
Yeah! Try it you know
some places they actually
00:13:29.13\00:13:32.36
use gardening as a therapy.
00:13:32.36\00:13:35.60
In order to restore
your body and mind and soul,
00:13:37.00\00:13:40.40
some places they use gardening,
00:13:40.96\00:13:42.76
allow your fingers to get dirty,
00:13:42.76\00:13:45.33
touch those green plants.
You know and work outside
00:13:46.06\00:13:50.40
and, and let the
sun shine up on you
00:13:50.40\00:13:52.86
and breathe in the fresh
air to restore your body,
00:13:52.86\00:13:57.03
mind, and soul. So,
God knew what he was
00:13:57.03\00:14:00.90
doing from the way beginning,
00:14:00.90\00:14:02.90
So God gave him a good
job, a good occupation.
00:14:03.80\00:14:08.26
So, number
three, good occupation,
00:14:08.26\00:14:12.66
So, we have to use
three blessings so far.
00:14:12.66\00:14:14.86
Blessing number
one, good environment;
00:14:15.50\00:14:18.36
blessing number two, good food;
00:14:18.70\00:14:21.20
blessing number
three, good occupation.
00:14:21.63\00:14:26.43
Yeah! I mean after eating,
you got to do something right.
00:14:27.06\00:14:30.10
You cannot just sit
there and do nothing become a
00:14:30.83\00:14:33.60
what couch potato,
that doesn't sounds
00:14:33.60\00:14:37.40
so good does it.
You know sometimes
00:14:37.40\00:14:40.30
my friends when
you work with your body
00:14:40.30\00:14:42.70
in order to do some
little activity and you will,
00:14:42.70\00:14:46.16
you can really
change your feeling.
00:14:46.16\00:14:47.83
I mean if you ever
feel like feeling like
00:14:48.53\00:14:51.46
kind of depressed because
it's kind a cloudy outside
00:14:51.73\00:14:55.60
and become sad and
feeling kind of lazy,
00:14:55.60\00:14:59.23
not so happy, you
know, what you can do?
00:15:00.36\00:15:03.03
You can go and
wash those dishes.
00:15:05.26\00:15:07.93
Yeah! Wash those dishes
and you can go and clean
00:15:10.26\00:15:13.50
your room get
busy doing something,
00:15:13.50\00:15:17.66
I mean, I mean at
home, I am the wash dish,
00:15:18.73\00:15:23.00
I mean, yeah, I'm
the wash dishwasher
00:15:23.00\00:15:26.53
and is a, is a good experience
00:15:27.56\00:15:30.00
because when you do,
when you wash your dishes,
00:15:30.00\00:15:33.06
you know, you use
hot water and cold water
00:15:33.66\00:15:37.30
and you know
rubbing those dishes
00:15:38.06\00:15:40.53
and but when you get
the hot water and cold water
00:15:40.53\00:15:42.63
touching your
hand you are getting
00:15:42.63\00:15:44.40
what we called hydrotherapy.
00:15:44.40\00:15:46.46
It increases your circulation
00:15:47.40\00:15:49.50
and then it, it
increases you know just,
00:15:50.30\00:15:52.76
just happiness in your life.
00:15:52.76\00:15:54.50
So, young people
when you're unhappy, okay,
00:15:54.83\00:15:59.33
pick out the trash.
00:15:59.96\00:16:01.03
Oh! Rubbish and,
and start cleaning your,
00:16:02.30\00:16:05.40
your room, hence
things will begin to change.
00:16:05.40\00:16:08.63
Alright so, three
things so far good environment,
00:16:08.63\00:16:12.20
good food, and good occupation.
00:16:12.83\00:16:16.70
So, are you happy
now. Yeah! Are you happy,
00:16:16.70\00:16:21.06
you like okay can you
imagine you are living,
00:16:21.06\00:16:24.16
you are living in
a good environment.
00:16:24.16\00:16:26.46
Oh! The
waterfall. Oh! The trees,
00:16:26.46\00:16:28.90
the flowers. Oh!
Beautiful animals
00:16:28.90\00:16:31.36
and you just there and like wow!
00:16:31.83\00:16:34.30
nice are you happy?
00:16:34.30\00:16:35.43
You are working
and you are eating.
00:16:36.93\00:16:38.80
Let me ask
something? Have you ever been to
00:16:40.10\00:16:41.86
like a
incredible national park and
00:16:41.86\00:16:45.46
you just standing there,
looking at this waterfall
00:16:45.46\00:16:47.50
and you like wow!
look at these waterfall,
00:16:47.80\00:16:51.03
but there is nobody around you.
00:16:51.56\00:16:52.93
Yeah! Just like go to
the Grand Canyons like,
00:16:55.20\00:16:57.56
go to Grand Canyon like wow!
00:16:57.56\00:16:59.50
this is a Grand
Canyon, wow! so nice, so nice,
00:16:59.50\00:17:03.20
so nice, so nice. It's no fine.
00:17:03.20\00:17:10.06
What about eating
good food by yourself.
00:17:11.00\00:17:14.56
I remember those
days when I was single.
00:17:16.40\00:17:19.06
Oh! Going to the restaurant
was not fun thing especially
00:17:20.20\00:17:24.03
when all the tables
are filled with couples
00:17:24.03\00:17:26.30
then your are eating
your food and everybody
00:17:28.06\00:17:31.36
else is dating or
with their loved ones
00:17:31.36\00:17:35.33
and here you are
dating with your book,
00:17:35.33\00:17:37.66
and how long you
there not too long unless
00:17:40.33\00:17:43.20
you have a
homework, and you get out of
00:17:43.20\00:17:45.70
there as fast as you
can. My friends no one will
00:17:45.70\00:17:49.23
enjoy reading by themselves.
00:17:49.23\00:17:50.76
What when I'm
working? Yeah! Even working,
00:17:51.40\00:17:53.33
sometimes we have
to work by ourselves,
00:17:53.33\00:17:55.63
but you know
working is nice to work with
00:17:55.63\00:17:58.53
somebody else. So,
my friends therefore
00:17:58.53\00:18:01.26
God said look with
me in Genesis Chapter 2,
00:18:01.26\00:18:08.53
look with me and verse 18.
00:18:09.26\00:18:12.56
Verse 18 the Bible
says, And the Lord God said,
00:18:13.40\00:18:15.43
It is not good that
the man should be what?
00:18:15.43\00:18:19.10
Alone. You know
almost everyday at the end
00:18:19.90\00:18:22.43
of the day God said
it is good at whatever
00:18:22.43\00:18:24.66
he has created it
is good, it is good,
00:18:24.66\00:18:27.23
but after God created the man.
00:18:27.23\00:18:29.76
God said looking at the man,
00:18:30.13\00:18:32.13
is not good. Not good.
00:18:32.66\00:18:36.43
Is that
therefore man to be alone,
00:18:36.86\00:18:38.86
so God gave him a what?
00:18:39.23\00:18:42.16
A woman and the
Bible says help me.
00:18:44.16\00:18:49.10
Ladies do you like
that? You like to be called
00:18:50.20\00:18:53.80
help me like it sounds
like a servant doesn't it?
00:18:54.03\00:18:58.46
I know if you ever
feel bad let me give you
00:18:59.73\00:19:01.70
a different maybe newer
observation on this word,
00:19:01.70\00:19:06.86
this phrase help me.
I mean it sound like,
00:19:06.86\00:19:10.10
I'm just like, I am a woman and
00:19:10.43\00:19:12.53
I'm just here to assist
him. What kind of life is this?
00:19:12.53\00:19:15.56
No, no, no, no,
don't think that way.
00:19:15.56\00:19:17.13
Don't think that
way. The reason why God
00:19:17.53\00:19:20.00
gave man an help
me is because man
00:19:20.76\00:19:24.40
without woman, he is helpless.
00:19:24.40\00:19:27.96
Oh! Now you are
happy about that,
00:19:29.80\00:19:31.03
you are happy about
that, okay, okay. Yeah!
00:19:31.03\00:19:33.03
It's sure I am
I, I think that way,
00:19:33.03\00:19:34.63
I mean for me every
time I see a single man
00:19:34.86\00:19:37.60
I don't care how much or
how big his shoulders are,
00:19:39.10\00:19:41.63
I don't care how
tall or strong and
00:19:42.10\00:19:44.03
you know, financially well off,
00:19:44.03\00:19:45.60
I mean for me when I see
a single man, incomplete.
00:19:46.10\00:19:49.46
Something is
missing that's just,
00:19:50.83\00:19:53.00
just me and I think, I
think I have a reason for
00:19:53.00\00:19:57.63
saying that because
the Bible says it's not a,
00:19:57.63\00:20:00.03
it's not a good thing
for a man to be alone,
00:20:00.03\00:20:03.40
so what God do, what did God do?
00:20:03.40\00:20:05.50
The Bible says he gave him
00:20:05.50\00:20:07.73
a good social
relationship and what was that?
00:20:10.10\00:20:15.73
Now what do you
think is the best
00:20:19.93\00:20:21.66
social relationship on earth?
00:20:21.66\00:20:23.76
The Bible does not
say so God gave him.
00:20:27.06\00:20:30.10
God gave Adam an
uncle, no, no, no, no.
00:20:30.10\00:20:34.90
The Bible does not say,
So God gave, gave Adam joy.
00:20:35.36\00:20:39.33
No, no, no Bible not say that
00:20:39.33\00:20:41.03
or the Bible even
doesn't say so God gave Adam
00:20:41.56\00:20:44.40
a mother. I know, I
know this is import,
00:20:44.60\00:20:48.33
is important
between parents and children
00:20:48.33\00:20:51.00
between uncles
and you know relatives
00:20:51.00\00:20:53.60
and nephews and other.
00:20:53.60\00:20:54.93
I know they are very important,
00:20:54.93\00:20:56.40
but let me say
something. The most important
00:20:56.40\00:20:59.23
social
relationship in the world is
00:20:59.23\00:21:02.20
between husband and wife.
00:21:02.20\00:21:05.13
If something goes
wrong there ummh! ummh! ummh!
00:21:05.56\00:21:08.40
There is a big
problem, big problem.
00:21:08.40\00:21:10.90
It starts right
there. So, God gave man
00:21:10.90\00:21:15.10
the best social relationship
experience and that was
00:21:15.10\00:21:19.70
a good wife to Adam.
So, are you happy now,
00:21:20.43\00:21:25.13
look at this,
you are living in a
00:21:26.00\00:21:27.90
good environment,
you are eating good food,
00:21:27.90\00:21:31.26
you got a good job and
then you have good wife,
00:21:31.86\00:21:35.13
you should be happy right.
00:21:35.13\00:21:36.50
I mean if you
think about it everybody
00:21:37.16\00:21:39.13
in this world is
looking for these
00:21:39.13\00:21:41.53
things aren't they? Yes, yeah.
00:21:41.53\00:21:45.23
I mean we are
looking for to have these
00:21:45.23\00:21:48.13
four things, it does not
manner if you are Christian,
00:21:48.13\00:21:51.23
not Christian, you
know, atheist, I don't care,
00:21:51.23\00:21:54.53
new age, punk or a
drug addict everybody is
00:21:54.53\00:21:59.90
in many sense
looking for these four things
00:21:59.90\00:22:05.06
and that tells me everybody is
00:22:05.43\00:22:08.10
looking for a paradise.
00:22:08.10\00:22:09.80
So, you should be
happy right, you got it.
00:22:14.13\00:22:18.03
Then why is it, then why is it?
00:22:18.90\00:22:20.80
Some people they live
in, they are living in
00:22:20.80\00:22:23.83
an incredible humongous house.
00:22:23.83\00:22:26.70
They have like a ten car garage
00:22:28.46\00:22:30.93
and they have like
five refrigerators,
00:22:33.16\00:22:35.36
one you actually walk in.
00:22:36.43\00:22:37.83
Yeah. And, and they got
this incredible surrounding,
00:22:40.40\00:22:45.93
they have like swimming
pool in their living room,
00:22:47.13\00:22:50.13
and in there,
their couch is the best
00:22:51.86\00:22:56.06
white leather sofa and
they got the incredible
00:22:56.06\00:23:02.26
looking wife and
beautiful children
00:23:02.26\00:23:07.26
then why is it and they got,
00:23:08.00\00:23:09.33
and their bank account is fat
00:23:09.63\00:23:12.60
and they have a good
job, they have everything
00:23:13.56\00:23:16.70
that they want and
when you get, I mean,
00:23:16.70\00:23:19.13
if you have those things
you should be able to say,
00:23:19.13\00:23:21.66
okay good house,
good food, good job,
00:23:21.66\00:23:25.20
good family, okay
I should be happy,
00:23:25.20\00:23:28.46
but then why some
people as they are sitting
00:23:30.93\00:23:35.96
under white leather
sofa. They are thinking about
00:23:35.96\00:23:42.03
how life is so miserable
00:23:43.73\00:23:45.13
and they are contemplating
killing themselves.
00:23:46.93\00:23:50.00
Why, they got it,
they got it. Right there,
00:23:52.13\00:23:54.50
you are sitting on
it, is around them,
00:23:54.50\00:23:57.86
they have it, they are there,
00:23:58.83\00:24:00.90
you want your happiness,
00:24:00.90\00:24:02.03
you got it and
you work for this,
00:24:02.30\00:24:05.16
you went to school for this.
00:24:05.16\00:24:06.90
You were competing
so hard in your job
00:24:07.33\00:24:09.53
environment to get
to where you are today?
00:24:10.23\00:24:13.60
Still you, so
you would be happy,
00:24:14.96\00:24:17.30
but they are
not. What's missing?
00:24:18.70\00:24:21.96
The blessing number 5 over that
00:24:23.80\00:24:29.80
and that was Sabbath,
00:24:31.53\00:24:35.66
you say what Sabbath.
00:24:37.73\00:24:39.60
Let me explain to you.
00:24:40.33\00:24:41.63
Question to you,
00:24:44.30\00:24:45.30
what did God create
on the sixth day tell me?
00:24:47.50\00:24:51.00
Animals and man, okay.
00:24:53.20\00:24:55.26
What did God create
first animals or man?
00:24:57.46\00:25:00.36
What did God create
first? Animals okay,
00:25:02.23\00:25:05.60
so therefore we can observe that
00:25:06.40\00:25:10.43
there is a possibility alright,
00:25:11.60\00:25:13.40
there is a possibility,
a great possibility that
00:25:13.40\00:25:16.00
man was created man and woman
00:25:16.50\00:25:20.40
they were created most
likely not the first thing,
00:25:20.40\00:25:26.06
are you with me. So,
it's very possible that
00:25:28.63\00:25:34.50
they were created maybe
late morning. I'm not sure,
00:25:34.50\00:25:38.93
but I know one of one,
I know one thing for sure
00:25:39.73\00:25:42.10
and that is
they were not created
00:25:42.10\00:25:44.36
the first thing of the
day. What I'm trying to say?
00:25:44.36\00:25:49.93
If we can imagine the sixth day,
00:25:51.23\00:25:54.36
I don't think Adam
and Eve specially Eve
00:25:55.70\00:26:00.23
they didn't have
much time with God,
00:26:01.13\00:26:05.76
just talk to him.
Why? Look at this.
00:26:06.46\00:26:09.30
Adam was created boom
and God says Adam what?
00:26:09.30\00:26:13.00
Umm! That's me. Adam! Hi
00:26:13.00\00:26:15.36
and then what
happened after that
00:26:16.20\00:26:17.40
God is like okay this is
what you suppose to do, oh!
00:26:18.53\00:26:21.86
take care of this
okay and then God says okay
00:26:22.70\00:26:25.13
start naming these animals,
00:26:25.13\00:26:26.46
oh! and God, God did not
even give him little book
00:26:26.46\00:26:31.10
call how to name your animals.
00:26:31.10\00:26:33.36
Because God wanted
Adam to develop creativity
00:26:35.46\00:26:40.40
while he is seeing
this big long neck animal
00:26:41.03\00:26:44.26
he goes giraffe, I
don't what happened exactly,
00:26:44.26\00:26:49.10
but just imagining, imagining
00:26:49.10\00:26:50.80
and he start
naming these animals
00:26:51.26\00:26:52.86
and he was pretty
busy and I don't know
00:26:52.86\00:26:55.23
if he name all the animals,
00:26:55.23\00:26:57.23
but even though he
did half of the animals
00:26:57.90\00:27:01.93
in the kingdom, in
the animal kingdom.
00:27:01.93\00:27:04.93
I mean, it was a
long day what you think?
00:27:05.56\00:27:07.63
And then after
naming all these animals,
00:27:08.13\00:27:10.63
he is like uhmm!
I'm feeling lonely
00:27:10.63\00:27:13.43
then he has to go
into sleep and then God has
00:27:13.43\00:27:16.53
took out a reeve
from his body and created
00:27:16.53\00:27:20.06
this beautiful
woman. He wakes up
00:27:20.06\00:27:22.03
and he meets this
woman, he is like wow!
00:27:22.03\00:27:24.66
And what time of
the day was that?
00:27:26.30\00:27:28.16
I'm guessing it was a
long day what do you think?
00:27:29.46\00:27:32.26
So I am, I want to
suggest the idea that
00:27:33.40\00:27:37.20
I don't think Adam
and Eve, specially Eve
00:27:37.50\00:27:41.16
they didn't have lesser
time just talking to God.
00:27:41.50\00:27:46.23
So, then my question
is this, let's read it.
00:27:46.90\00:27:50.73
In Genesis chapter
2, Genesis chapter 2
00:27:51.46\00:27:57.70
and verse 1 the
Bible says Thus the heavens
00:27:58.20\00:28:01.50
and the earth were finished
and all the host of them.
00:28:01.80\00:28:05.20
And on the Seventh
Day, God ended his work,
00:28:05.76\00:28:08.63
which he had made
and he rested on the
00:28:08.63\00:28:11.63
Seventh Day from his all work,
00:28:11.63\00:28:13.80
which he had made and
God blessed the Seventh Day
00:28:14.23\00:28:18.46
and sanctified it
because that in it, he had what?
00:28:18.70\00:28:22.10
Rested from all his work,
which God created and made.
00:28:23.43\00:28:28.80
So, according to the
Bible, according to the Bible
00:28:29.03\00:28:31.86
God what? He rested meaning,
00:28:31.86\00:28:36.20
the word rested it
means to stop to seize.
00:28:37.50\00:28:44.73
So, God stopped from creating,
00:28:46.13\00:28:50.63
so then my
question is this to you.
00:28:51.26\00:28:54.50
God and Adam and
Eve, how did they keep
00:28:56.76\00:29:03.70
the first Sabbath
on earth together.
00:29:06.03\00:29:09.93
What they were doing?
Now this is important,
00:29:11.06\00:29:15.00
this is very
important because the way
00:29:15.00\00:29:17.50
they kept the first
Sabbath can give us a clue
00:29:17.50\00:29:23.30
to understand the purpose
of Sabbath are you listening?
00:29:24.33\00:29:29.30
And can give us an
example how we should
00:29:31.56\00:29:35.20
keep the Sabbath
today, so if you can imagine
00:29:35.20\00:29:39.73
the first thing how
would they, what are they doing
00:29:39.73\00:29:44.16
on the first Sabbath.
Just God doing nothing
00:29:45.00\00:29:49.20
and here is Adam and
Eve just standing and
00:29:50.00\00:29:52.76
doing nothing they
just looking at each other,
00:29:52.76\00:29:56.13
we are not suppose
to do anything? Shhhh!
00:29:56.13\00:30:01.93
Is a rest day.
What were they doing
00:30:03.03\00:30:06.70
my brothers and sisters?
Imagine what seems to be
00:30:06.70\00:30:14.20
you know a common sense
a natural thing, come on,
00:30:14.43\00:30:18.43
you just got created and
you are busy naming animal,
00:30:18.43\00:30:23.70
oh! fall asleep. Oh!
oh! There is a woman.
00:30:23.70\00:30:26.10
Hi! How are you,
you are beautiful.
00:30:26.10\00:30:27.33
So then, you are
totally new to the environment.
00:30:28.66\00:30:36.30
Are you listening? When
you go to a new environment
00:30:36.30\00:30:40.00
what you have?
Curiosity, you have questions
00:30:40.30\00:30:46.56
and I'm sure you know you
are not gonna ask questions
00:30:46.56\00:30:51.76
to themselves.
They are going to ask
00:30:51.76\00:30:54.56
questions to who? God.
May I suggest first Sabbath,
00:30:54.56\00:30:59.40
Adam and Eve they
were asking many questions
00:31:00.20\00:31:03.36
that makes sense to me
because they just got created
00:31:06.76\00:31:09.30
and what were they asking?
They are pointing to the,
00:31:10.30\00:31:14.36
you know, beautiful hills,
and the lakes and the river
00:31:15.20\00:31:18.93
and trees,
pointing to the environment.
00:31:18.93\00:31:21.86
And they said God what is this?
00:31:25.20\00:31:30.26
And God is like
that, that is tree.
00:31:30.60\00:31:35.60
There are flowers and they
sloughing great choice. Oh!
00:31:37.56\00:31:43.00
Yeah that's called
water, you have to drink that,
00:31:43.00\00:31:47.46
that's good for you.
Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah,
00:31:48.00\00:31:51.23
this is called
grass, we can sleep on this.
00:31:51.23\00:31:54.43
Oh! Yeah, I call them stars,
00:31:56.03\00:31:59.23
they are beautiful ah!
So what they are doing,
00:31:59.66\00:32:02.40
they are getting to
know what they are seeing
00:32:03.80\00:32:09.86
around them.
Paah! Check the sound.
00:32:09.86\00:32:14.50
God, you know that God
created all these things
00:32:21.56\00:32:24.43
for Adam and Eve
right. So, when you do
00:32:25.80\00:32:29.63
something for
somebody, when you do something
00:32:29.63\00:32:34.36
for somebody or when
you prepare a gift right
00:32:34.36\00:32:38.56
and when you present
that gift to the person
00:32:39.53\00:32:43.03
that you love. And
you love the moment
00:32:43.03\00:32:48.13
it's like few seconds.
When you give that gift
00:32:49.50\00:32:53.30
and the person
realizes you are the one
00:32:54.26\00:32:58.03
that gave the gift. Yes.
00:32:58.03\00:32:59.63
And the person says
thank you and you love
00:33:00.66\00:33:04.40
that moment
don't you? Yes or no.
00:33:04.40\00:33:05.76
For person to say,
Oh! Thank you realizing
00:33:07.33\00:33:11.70
this thing comes from
you and I believe my friends
00:33:11.70\00:33:18.86
God had a same
feelings, he was, he was I think
00:33:18.86\00:33:23.30
he is tickle he is like
let there be stars in heaven.
00:33:23.30\00:33:26.46
Uhhh! They gonna like this,
00:33:26.46\00:33:27.93
let the water
divide itself from water.
00:33:29.20\00:33:31.70
Oh! They gonna enjoy this one.
00:33:31.70\00:33:33.90
Oh! Let the grass
and the trees come forth.
00:33:34.13\00:33:36.76
Oh! They gonna
really eat these fruits.
00:33:36.76\00:33:39.80
Oh! At the time, he
is creating something,
00:33:40.50\00:33:42.93
he just tickle in some ways,
00:33:42.93\00:33:45.10
he just cannot
wait just tell them
00:33:45.46\00:33:47.13
he made all
these things for them.
00:33:47.86\00:33:51.40
So, on the
Sabbath, on the Sabbath day,
00:33:51.86\00:33:53.83
they were asking
God what is this?
00:33:54.16\00:33:56.16
And God is like
all these in you see,
00:33:56.16\00:33:59.10
yeah that those trees
and this good environment.
00:33:59.10\00:34:01.90
I made it for you
and they are like,
00:34:02.90\00:34:07.36
Wow! Thank you. Now,
what about these things
00:34:07.63\00:34:11.03
that we eat. I call them fruits,
00:34:11.03\00:34:13.60

00:34:13.86\00:34:16.60
try that one
too, yeah that orange,
00:34:18.40\00:34:21.43
oh! that long thing,
okay, I call that banana.
00:34:21.90\00:34:25.13
I mean, I don't know
what they say exactly,
00:34:25.96\00:34:27.50
but I'm just imagining my mind
00:34:27.50\00:34:29.46
and, and God is like, I
prepare all these things
00:34:30.86\00:34:34.03
for you, what's
happening on the Sabbath,
00:34:34.70\00:34:37.33
a Sabbath day? Adam
and Eve are getting to know
00:34:37.33\00:34:41.73
the author, the
giver of good environment,
00:34:41.73\00:34:47.06
good food, good job
and I'm sure Adam is like,
00:34:48.56\00:34:54.96
he just cannot
believe this beautiful woman.
00:34:55.90\00:34:58.13
God, while I was sleeping
you made this beautiful woman
00:34:58.70\00:35:03.36
and God is like yeah.
She is gorgeous, isn't she.
00:35:03.80\00:35:07.06
And Adam now he
comes to the completion
00:35:08.63\00:35:15.23
of his happiness.
What is it? What is it?
00:35:15.70\00:35:19.23
God knew, God knew,
Adam and Eve they cannot be
00:35:20.16\00:35:26.90
happy unless they,
they know the creator
00:35:26.90\00:35:34.33
the author of all the
good things in their life.
00:35:34.73\00:35:39.56
My friends let me
tell you something that was
00:35:41.13\00:35:44.20
what they learned at
the first Sabbath and
00:35:44.20\00:35:46.13
we need to be reminded
every Seventh Day Sabbath,
00:35:46.13\00:35:49.13
but let me tell you
something my friends
00:35:49.13\00:35:50.70
today people,
people are confused,
00:35:50.70\00:35:56.70
they are totally confused.
00:35:57.30\00:35:58.46
If you ask them what is
the purpose of your life
00:35:58.80\00:36:01.93
they say I want to be happy.
00:36:03.06\00:36:05.33
Yes, they may say Oh! I
want to be a CEO of this,
00:36:06.16\00:36:08.50
I want to accomplish
this, I want to be a movie star,
00:36:08.50\00:36:10.66
I want to be in
sports, I want to do this,
00:36:10.66\00:36:12.36
but at the end of the
day what they really want
00:36:12.70\00:36:15.36
is what happy, but
with all that things
00:36:15.36\00:36:19.63
notice about
job, it's about okay
00:36:19.63\00:36:21.96
if you really
analyze what you are thinking
00:36:21.96\00:36:23.70
they, all everybody they
all want good place to live,
00:36:23.96\00:36:28.63
good food and good
job and good family.
00:36:28.63\00:36:32.50
And people are
thinking that's my purpose
00:36:33.76\00:36:38.03
and they trying to have
all these things without God.
00:36:39.43\00:36:45.30
And they did not know
the author of these things
00:36:50.60\00:36:55.53
and because of that
even though they got it
00:36:58.10\00:37:01.50
something is missing,
are you buying your Paradise?
00:37:03.60\00:37:09.96
What's the purpose of your life?
00:37:13.60\00:37:14.96
You know Koreans back in 1970,
00:37:17.56\00:37:25.16
there was a time Koreans
00:37:26.30\00:37:28.46
they just wanna
go to America why?
00:37:28.46\00:37:32.56
Why they want to go to America?
00:37:34.33\00:37:35.50
Oh! Because
America is the land of,
00:37:36.36\00:37:39.93
land flowing with,
flowing with milk and money.
00:37:41.03\00:37:45.73
And they just want
to go there because
00:37:49.10\00:37:51.30
that's where they
can make lots of money.
00:37:52.13\00:37:53.76
But when they go to America,
00:37:54.20\00:37:55.76
when they are looking for a job
00:37:57.70\00:37:59.40
many times they can't
get a decent job. Why?
00:38:00.13\00:38:02.90
Even though they
graduated from really
00:38:04.43\00:38:06.30
good school from Korea.
They cannot get a decent job
00:38:06.30\00:38:09.13
because they
don't speak English.
00:38:09.13\00:38:11.60
No English, so they
end up finding jobs doing,
00:38:13.20\00:38:19.23
you know, things
like cleaning offices,
00:38:20.03\00:38:23.00
picking out rubbish,
but when they are cleaning,
00:38:24.40\00:38:28.56
working hard, they
really work hard and they go
00:38:28.56\00:38:31.66
some day I am
going to buy my Paradise.
00:38:32.36\00:38:37.33
And they really work
hard and they save money
00:38:40.63\00:38:43.86
even if they living in
a dinky small apartment
00:38:43.86\00:38:47.30
with so many other immigrants,
00:38:48.50\00:38:50.60
no easy, but they endeavor
and they had just one goal,
00:38:51.80\00:38:56.63
one purpose. I am going to get
00:38:56.63\00:38:59.80
my Paradise
someday. So they move out of
00:38:59.80\00:39:04.60
cleaning office and
they start buying these
00:39:04.60\00:39:07.56
7-Eleven stores, but
after a while 7-Eleven store.
00:39:07.86\00:39:13.30
Ah! It's too much.
Oh! Too many numbers
00:39:14.33\00:39:16.80
to you know, you don't
calculate and sometimes
00:39:16.80\00:39:19.90
it will come in the
store not with money,
00:39:19.90\00:39:22.00
but with gun. So,
Ah! Is just not good,
00:39:22.00\00:39:25.93
so they start
doing, they start doing dry
00:39:26.43\00:39:31.20
cleaning business,
so because in the dry
00:39:31.20\00:39:35.90
cleaning very easy,
you do not want to speak
00:39:35.90\00:39:37.93
that much English.
Hello, Good Morning and then
00:39:37.93\00:39:40.36
they get the things
and say 999 that's it,
00:39:40.36\00:39:44.63
just they go and they
comeback and pick it up
00:39:44.63\00:39:46.96
that's all.
Right, so it's real easy
00:39:46.96\00:39:49.56
and then so they work
hard and so, now only they have
00:39:49.56\00:39:53.10
one dry cleaning, but
also have like the second one
00:39:53.10\00:39:55.96
and third one and
they were, they really
00:39:55.96\00:39:57.73
working hard
and they don't care,
00:39:57.73\00:40:00.20
I've to wake up
early in the morning.
00:40:00.20\00:40:02.00
They don't care they
have to go to sleep late
00:40:02.00\00:40:03.93
in the evening why?
Because they got to buy
00:40:03.93\00:40:06.90
this Paradise and
then they have children,
00:40:06.90\00:40:09.13
you know, and they
have to provide things for
00:40:09.13\00:40:11.33
them and they have to
make sure that they are
00:40:11.33\00:40:14.26
well dressed and
they go to the best school
00:40:15.33\00:40:17.86
and I don't about
you, but you know Koreans
00:40:17.86\00:40:21.13
can be really proud.
There is no way they can
00:40:21.13\00:40:25.13
send your children
to like in a local state
00:40:25.13\00:40:28.30
government community college.
00:40:28.30\00:40:30.56
They have to go
to you know big ones,
00:40:31.26\00:40:33.23
Harvard and Stanford
and Yale and these big ones,
00:40:33.23\00:40:38.10
and oh, they cannot just drive,
00:40:38.10\00:40:40.00
in the beginning
they can endure driving,
00:40:40.00\00:40:42.00
you know little dinky Gia.
00:40:42.00\00:40:43.80
But then later on they
gotta move to Mercedes,
00:40:44.90\00:40:47.83
I'm not saying it's, you know,
00:40:47.83\00:40:48.83
it's evil to drive
them, but they just, just
00:40:48.83\00:40:51.13
striving to have these
nice cars and big houses.
00:40:51.13\00:40:54.66
So, in order to
maintain their status,
00:40:56.13\00:40:58.50
looking better
than Mr. Kim over their
00:40:59.33\00:41:01.96
they have to like, you
know little more money,
00:41:02.56\00:41:05.00
so they work even harder.
00:41:05.00\00:41:06.60
So, but all this time
something is telling them
00:41:07.20\00:41:11.00
rest in me, come to me,
rest in me, abide in me,
00:41:11.36\00:41:20.06
but they know exactly
that voice and they are like,
00:41:20.06\00:41:22.93
oh! not now, not
now, I have three dry
00:41:22.93\00:41:25.40
cleaning stores,
I have four kids,
00:41:25.40\00:41:29.40
I gonna pay off
my mortgage not now,
00:41:30.60\00:41:34.26
so they just keep
pressing, pressing , pressing,
00:41:34.26\00:41:36.26
they turn 40, 45,
50, 55, 60 ,65, and now
00:41:36.26\00:41:45.00
they can retire,
but they go uhmm!
00:41:45.00\00:41:50.56
I want to get just
little more from the Government,
00:41:51.36\00:41:53.30
so let me work
three more years, 68 now.
00:41:53.30\00:41:57.80
Oh! They are like
okay I worked enough,
00:41:58.40\00:42:01.10
my children's are fine
and my business is good,
00:42:01.96\00:42:05.43
now I have the
money to buy my Paradise.
00:42:05.70\00:42:10.80
So, they are looking
for this Paradise with cash,
00:42:10.80\00:42:13.33
as they are
looking, looking, looking,
00:42:14.93\00:42:16.80
oh! I have a
problem with the low back,
00:42:17.80\00:42:20.56
Ah! The kidney's
not functioning well,
00:42:21.26\00:42:23.60
Ah! They are diabetic or
blood pressure is too high
00:42:24.03\00:42:27.96
or the heart is
skipping time to time.
00:42:28.73\00:42:31.40
So, what do they do?
They don't just trust,
00:42:31.40\00:42:34.90
you know,
Government run health care
00:42:34.90\00:42:37.50
they wanna go to the specialist,
00:42:37.50\00:42:40.13
so they spend their
money paying the specialists,
00:42:41.40\00:42:46.20
all the medications
and all the examinations
00:42:47.20\00:42:50.30
and all this, and all
the money is kind a gone
00:42:50.30\00:42:52.86
and only little bit
left, that they can buy
00:42:53.46\00:42:57.56
their Paradise and they
buy a Paradise a garden.
00:42:57.56\00:43:03.03
I think it's about
one meter by three meters.
00:43:04.60\00:43:06.60
Oh! It's a nice
grass, green grass,
00:43:07.96\00:43:11.00
green grass, soft
grass. Oh! They even get a
00:43:11.73\00:43:14.90
nice marble stone and
I think it goes down like
00:43:14.90\00:43:20.30
a three meters down, I
don't that two meters down
00:43:21.46\00:43:23.70
and then on the marble
stone it says rest in peace.
00:43:24.80\00:43:30.53
What are you find?
00:43:34.86\00:43:37.93
Some people they may not
have the best environment,
00:43:41.76\00:43:46.26
some people they may
not have enough food,
00:43:46.63\00:43:49.40
some people they may
not have the best job
00:43:50.03\00:43:52.83
and some people, they may
have dysfunctional family.
00:43:53.53\00:43:56.70
What if they know
the author of life,
00:44:00.36\00:44:06.36
the creator of this
world, they can be happy
00:44:08.10\00:44:14.80
and satisfied and
they are compliance.
00:44:16.60\00:44:21.06
Oh! My brothers and sisters
00:44:23.06\00:44:25.70
what is the
purpose of your life,
00:44:27.30\00:44:29.20
may I suggest if
you want to be happy
00:44:30.06\00:44:32.73
your purpose is to know him,
00:44:33.56\00:44:36.63
that nature and all
these things they are good,
00:44:37.80\00:44:43.23
but secondary. So,
how many of you this
00:44:44.03\00:44:49.63
morning that you wanna
say Lord what am I doing,
00:44:49.63\00:44:54.03
here I am working so
hard to just get this job
00:44:55.03\00:44:59.53
and it's okay you shall
work hard to get your job,
00:44:59.53\00:45:02.70
but what are doing
your neglecting God.
00:45:02.70\00:45:06.73
You are studying
so hard, you know,
00:45:10.23\00:45:12.03
you wake up in the morning,
reading your biology book,
00:45:12.03\00:45:14.93
you are willing to do that, but
00:45:16.86\00:45:19.46
Bible is not even touched.
00:45:20.30\00:45:22.13
You are willing to
pay and spend lot of money
00:45:26.56\00:45:28.80
and go to these vacations far,
00:45:28.80\00:45:31.20
but yet you are
not even willing to go
00:45:32.50\00:45:34.60
and do mission work.
00:45:34.60\00:45:35.86
What are you trying to look for?
00:45:39.76\00:45:41.83
If you are
looking for those things,
00:45:42.63\00:45:44.16
go ahead try out,
at the end of the day
00:45:44.16\00:45:47.40
you saying so what.
00:45:47.40\00:45:49.36
But then we will
meet someone that is
00:45:50.46\00:45:52.66
eternal not
temporal. Eternal infinite God
00:45:52.66\00:45:58.50
that he completely satisfies.
00:45:59.86\00:46:02.13
The reason why we
exist in this world,
00:46:03.66\00:46:07.90
so this morning I
wanna challenge you.
00:46:09.36\00:46:11.06
How many of you this
morning want to say Lord
00:46:11.06\00:46:13.00
change my thinking, my priority,
00:46:14.60\00:46:19.26
next time give a
faith to open the Bible
00:46:20.60\00:46:24.46
instead of Biology,
next time give me the faith
00:46:24.46\00:46:30.63
to reduce my hours of working,
00:46:31.70\00:46:34.03
so I can go and
get Bible studies?
00:46:34.76\00:46:37.30
Give me the faith to
know you because I know
00:46:39.33\00:46:44.06
I am seeking to
be happy if you do,
00:46:44.06\00:46:48.76
if you want to put God first,
00:46:50.06\00:46:52.03
stand were you are.
00:46:52.03\00:46:53.40
Let us pray,
loving heavenly father,
00:47:00.56\00:47:05.33
we thank you so
much for the Bible,
00:47:08.96\00:47:10.96
we thank you so much
for making the clear and,
00:47:11.80\00:47:14.06
and simple and we can
see it from the Bible that
00:47:14.46\00:47:21.06
you knew from the beginning
00:47:21.06\00:47:22.90
what things can make us happy
00:47:23.30\00:47:26.66
and you do want to
provide good environment,
00:47:28.63\00:47:31.50
you do want to give us food,
00:47:31.50\00:47:33.80
you do want to give us good job,
00:47:33.80\00:47:35.73

give us good family,
00:47:35.73\00:47:38.00
good social relationship,
00:47:38.00\00:47:39.86
but most of all what you
want to give us is yourself
00:47:41.23\00:47:47.23
that we may know you the
best thing in this universe.
00:47:49.13\00:47:56.30
So, Lord as we are
seeking and taking this journey
00:47:58.96\00:48:07.26
to look for our
happiness maybe find it in you.
00:48:07.60\00:48:14.96
So, give us the
courage to open the Bible
00:48:15.90\00:48:20.43
instead of our
school books in the morning,
00:48:20.90\00:48:25.30
give us the courage to
reduce the hours of working,
00:48:25.86\00:48:34.03
secular work that
we may do your work.
00:48:34.53\00:48:38.33
Give us the courage
to go far if it's needed
00:48:40.80\00:48:45.90
to spread the Gospel
to every nation kinder,
00:48:47.76\00:48:51.40
tongues and people.
00:48:51.40\00:48:52.40
That we maybe
happy, truly happy in you.
00:48:54.03\00:48:59.10
So, help us. We
pray in Jesus name.
00:49:00.36\00:49:04.40
Amen. You may be saved.
00:49:05.23\00:49:08.50
