Welcome back!
00:00:13.32\00:00:14.47
It's amazing to me what
we have seen on this program,
00:00:14.50\00:00:17.55
what we have
heard on this program.
00:00:17.58\00:00:18.83
I want to say that I knew
you had some other things that
00:00:18.86\00:00:22.44
you wanted to say, and I
also know that you know people
00:00:22.47\00:00:25.42
in the Café.
00:00:25.45\00:00:26.48
There are some
people we haven't met yet.
00:00:26.51\00:00:27.72
So can you tell us who they are?
00:00:27.75\00:00:30.95
Well Dale and Bill have been
awfully quiet today and that is
00:00:30.98\00:00:33.90
unusual for either one of them.
00:00:33.93\00:00:35.80
When you know it is really
funny because Bill walked in and
00:00:35.83\00:00:38.16
I said to Bill, Bill
are you going to talk today
00:00:38.19\00:00:41.15
and he said, nope!
00:00:41.18\00:00:42.48
Well he had that
planned, didn't he?
00:00:42.51\00:00:44.72
And then Dale said, I
caught him when he was walking,
00:00:44.75\00:00:46.99
and he can't walk and
talk at the same time.
00:00:47.02\00:00:49.63
And Dave he won't
let Darlene talk, so.
00:00:49.66\00:00:52.78
But everyone here
is part of the CMA?
00:00:52.81\00:00:59.53
Everyone here are part
of some kind of outreach.
00:00:59.56\00:01:01.48
Some kind, yeah some kind.
00:01:01.51\00:01:02.73
We are all different
yet we are all the same.
00:01:02.76\00:01:05.89
I was thinking that I
remember out in Colorado once,
00:01:05.92\00:01:12.28
when I was sitting and looking
out over a couple mountain
00:01:12.31\00:01:14.83
ranges, and I just thought of
it is some of you were talking
00:01:14.86\00:01:17.76
because we were
addressing the church.
00:01:17.79\00:01:20.51
How church's view strange
things that come in the back
00:01:20.54\00:01:26.27
door once in awhile, and what
ever label that happens to be.
00:01:26.30\00:01:29.48
I was sitting there and said
Lord, Your creation is beautiful
00:01:29.51\00:01:33.07
He said, that
is not My creation.
00:01:33.10\00:01:35.33
It was just like we are talking
and it caught me off guard
00:01:35.36\00:01:39.95
where I just sat down and hid.
00:01:39.98\00:01:42.26
I thought then who's is it,
but He finished the sentence and
00:01:42.29\00:01:46.12
He said is, what
you see is who I am.
00:01:46.15\00:01:47.66
Had there not been mountains,
and oceans, and blue skies
00:01:47.69\00:01:53.08
within Me, I couldn't have
spoken let there be oceans.
00:01:53.11\00:01:55.37
But He finished it with saying,
and every face you ever saw,
00:01:55.40\00:02:01.19
was within Me first,
and then He nailed me.
00:02:01.22\00:02:05.05
And the face that you liked
the least was within me first.
00:02:05.08\00:02:09.33
- because you liked
the least your own face.
00:02:09.36\00:02:11.38
And He said don't do that.
00:02:11.41\00:02:13.54
So sometimes you are the hardest
one to forgive, is yourself.
00:02:13.57\00:02:17.19
Because you are still living
in the memory when you look in
00:02:17.22\00:02:21.31
the mirror, and the
hardest one to get past is
00:02:21.34\00:02:24.17
the guy in the mirror.
00:02:24.20\00:02:25.23
- How do you get past that?
00:02:25.26\00:02:27.95
- Time and realizing
eventually that God is exactly
00:02:27.98\00:02:32.42
who He said He was.
00:02:32.45\00:02:33.62
And forgiveness is
exactly what it is,
00:02:33.65\00:02:35.95
and grace is exactly what it is.
00:02:35.98\00:02:37.73
Undeserving, you are
not going to earn it.
00:02:37.76\00:02:41.23
It will never
happen, it is just a gift.
00:02:41.26\00:02:44.98
So finally you decide
to accept the gift, - Amen!
00:02:45.01\00:02:49.06
And you know I'm going to say
thanks for being on the program?
00:02:49.09\00:02:51.23
My pleasure - and you
know when you do accept it,
00:02:51.26\00:02:53.62
it washes you.
00:02:53.65\00:02:55.68
I mean there is something
that happens that you just feel
00:02:55.71\00:02:58.17
that cleanness, that I am new.
00:02:58.20\00:03:03.03
All of this is real.
00:03:03.06\00:03:04.23
That God is telling the truth.
00:03:04.26\00:03:05.84
It is amazing to me when you
see God worked in these kind of
00:03:05.87\00:03:09.82
situations where it looks
hopeless, and you get a whole
00:03:09.85\00:03:12.91
other view on God.
00:03:12.94\00:03:14.44
At one point it was interesting
to me because someone said,
00:03:14.47\00:03:17.19
how do you find God?
00:03:17.22\00:03:18.98
Do you find God by
giving a great Bible study?
00:03:19.01\00:03:22.01
Do you find God by learning
to pray or memorizing scripture?
00:03:22.04\00:03:25.63
Or being in the body of
Christ that is incredible?
00:03:25.66\00:03:27.79
Or do you find God, by
finding a body of Christ,
00:03:27.82\00:03:30.87
by joining a church,
and all those things.
00:03:30.90\00:03:32.33
A friend of mine said, no
you find God by reaching out and
00:03:32.36\00:03:35.60
doing Ministry and to find
Him any other way is like taking
00:03:35.63\00:03:38.56
swimming lessons
through correspondence course.
00:03:38.59\00:03:40.76
There is no way you can do it.
00:03:40.79\00:03:41.82
Somebody can write to you
how to swim, but you don't know
00:03:41.85\00:03:44.87
and you cannot figure it
out until you jump in the water.
00:03:44.90\00:03:47.31
Until you actually do ministry,
00:03:47.34\00:03:48.93
you cannot
figure out who God is.
00:03:48.96\00:03:50.69
Do ministry, accept
God, go out and tell someone.
00:03:50.72\00:03:54.33
Until next time I
just want you to know,
00:03:54.36\00:03:56.45
always remember that God
is crazy about you, us too.
00:03:56.48\00:04:00.03
Bye, and God bless!
00:04:00.06\00:04:01.49
