Yeah. 00:01:21.89\00:01:23.57 And so I just give God all the glory for that. 00:01:23.60\00:01:26.21 But with this book, I had a 12 page outline, 00:01:26.24\00:01:32.17 a teaching that I did and usually, you know, 00:01:32.20\00:01:35.04 when I'm doing teaching I don't read. 00:01:35.07\00:01:36.73 I've just got a list of scriptures. 00:01:36.76\00:01:39.00 And so God really, He sat me down 00:01:39.03\00:01:42.48 and I took time off. 00:01:42.51\00:01:43.88 I took a leave of absence from 3ABN. 00:01:43.91\00:01:45.92 He sat me down and in 6 weeks, 7 weeks, 00:01:45.95\00:01:49.99 I started and I came out at the end 00:01:50.02\00:01:53.10 with this marvelous teaching 00:01:53.13\00:01:55.72 from the Lord that really ministers to me. 00:01:55.75\00:01:58.23 He taught me so much and it ministers to me. 00:01:58.26\00:02:00.69 So we have few, we have like couple of minutes. 00:02:00.72\00:02:04.95 What can you say to the viewer about this book? 00:02:04.98\00:02:08.63 What is that kind of one thing 00:02:08.66\00:02:11.10 you'd like us to walk away with it? 00:02:11.13\00:02:12.50 I want to share, let me share something 00:02:12.53\00:02:13.90 with you real quick because 00:02:13.93\00:02:15.58 I think one of my favorite sections, 00:02:15.61\00:02:17.08 this is a favorite teaching of mine that the Lord-- 00:02:17.11\00:02:20.07 I was trying to understand faith. 00:02:20.10\00:02:21.49 We use these words like righteousness and faith 00:02:21.52\00:02:24.31 and all those different words 00:02:24.34\00:02:25.96 that people are kind of like, what is it mean? 00:02:25.99\00:02:28.18 You know, surrender. 00:02:28.21\00:02:29.58 So I asked the Lord to teach me 00:02:29.61\00:02:33.11 how to have victorious faith. 00:02:33.14\00:02:36.37 And I'm just gonna give you the steps for a quick 00:02:36.40\00:02:38.57 and there is lots of scriptures to support it. 00:02:38.60\00:02:40.71 But step one is "trust." 00:02:40.74\00:02:42.11 We've got learn to trust the Lord. 00:02:42.14\00:02:43.90 That is the foundation and as we trust Him 00:02:43.93\00:02:46.46 with all of our heart 00:02:46.49\00:02:47.86 and not lean on our own understanding, 00:02:47.89\00:02:49.61 but on what the word says. 00:02:49.64\00:02:51.08 Step two is "hope." 00:02:51.11\00:02:53.03 And the Bible says that hope is the anchor of our soul. 00:02:53.06\00:02:56.89 And in the Greek the word hope isn't like, oh, I wish. 00:02:56.92\00:03:00.49 The word hope is eager expectation, 00:03:00.52\00:03:03.39 that you've got this. Amen. 00:03:03.42\00:03:04.79 Step three, is the title "deed" 00:03:04.82\00:03:06.73 knowing that when God promises 00:03:06.76\00:03:08.79 that faith is the assurance 00:03:08.82\00:03:10.25 it's the title deed that you can grab hold of. 00:03:10.28\00:03:13.36 Step four is that "speaking in the spirit of faith." 00:03:13.39\00:03:15.97 It's so important. 00:03:16.00\00:03:17.76 What you speak over your life is so important, 00:03:17.79\00:03:20.05 what you speak into your children's life. 00:03:20.08\00:03:22.16 If it doesn't line up in agreement with the word of God 00:03:22.19\00:03:25.34 you're speaking death into their life. 00:03:25.37\00:03:26.92 You're speaking spiritual death into their life. 00:03:26.95\00:03:29.72 Then step five is "actions of obedience." 00:03:29.75\00:03:32.34 And the Bible actually talks a lot about that 00:03:32.37\00:03:34.50 because faith without actions is what? 00:03:34.53\00:03:36.93 It's dead. 00:03:36.96\00:03:38.36 Step six is to have a "victorious attitude." 00:03:38.39\00:03:43.09 And in the Bible it says in Roman 5:17 00:03:43.12\00:03:45.92 "That those who receive abundance of grace 00:03:45.95\00:03:48.50 and righteousness of Jesus Christ will reign in life." 00:03:48.53\00:03:51.96 And the final thing is to "stand firm." 00:03:51.99\00:03:54.55 So the book is about learning 00:03:54.58\00:03:56.37 how to tap into God's grace pipeline. 00:03:56.40\00:03:58.09 I love that. 00:03:58.12\00:03:59.49 I just have to say it's been incredible having you on. 00:03:59.52\00:04:01.61 Thank you for jumping in. 00:04:01.64\00:04:03.01 Thank you for teaching us that 00:04:03.04\00:04:04.46 and for anybody that's going through recovery, 00:04:04.49\00:04:07.54 it's amazing to me what God as offered us. 00:04:07.57\00:04:10.50 I don't care if you're chemical or non-chemical 00:04:10.53\00:04:13.07 addiction, if you got pressure, 00:04:13.10\00:04:14.64 if you come through craziness 00:04:14.67\00:04:16.41 or drugs or alcohol, 00:04:16.44\00:04:18.01 God says I have the answer 00:04:18.04\00:04:19.89 and I will step in and change everything. 00:04:19.92\00:04:21.84 I will give you life and I love that. 00:04:21.87\00:04:25.14 I love that. 00:04:25.17\00:04:26.54 Until next week always remember 00:04:26.57\00:04:27.94 that God is crazy about you, me too. 00:04:27.97\00:04:30.37 And open the word, figure out what it says 00:04:30.40\00:04:32.64 and apply it to yourself. 00:04:32.67\00:04:34.59 Amen. Amen. 00:04:34.62\00:04:36.00
