This is my favorite segment, 00:00:13.70\00:00:15.59 where we talk to the guest and I get to introduce you to 00:00:15.63\00:00:18.08 somebody, that is either a friend of mine and has 00:00:18.12\00:00:20.57 changed my life or who I think is just going to so 00:00:20.60\00:00:23.29 pour into your life that you can get a grip on 00:00:23.33\00:00:25.98 what you're dealing with. 00:00:26.02\00:00:27.31 And today I want to introduce you to 00:00:27.35\00:00:29.25 Dr. Douglas Weiss. 00:00:29.28\00:00:30.37 Dr. Doug, I wanted tell you, 00:00:30.40\00:00:32.62 I'm so thrilled that you're here. 00:00:32.65\00:00:34.31 Well I'm glad to be here. 00:00:34.35\00:00:35.44 I think you're a genius. 00:00:35.48\00:00:36.50 While I think your fun, so let's have fun. 00:00:36.54\00:00:39.26 And has a genius stuff. 00:00:39.30\00:00:40.57 And so we're going to talk about 00:00:40.60\00:00:42.43 a lot of people, myself. 00:00:42.47\00:00:44.66 I'm just going to stay with myself and I got 00:00:44.70\00:00:46.17 into recovery. 00:00:46.20\00:00:47.17 I knew that the Bible has all these promises. 00:00:47.18\00:00:50.28 Everybody is tell me that recovery all you have to 00:00:50.32\00:00:52.78 do is stop doing drugs, and you're going to be fine. 00:00:52.82\00:00:54.72 And I'm strung out, homeless for ten years, 00:00:54.75\00:00:57.07 have horrendous families issues, 00:00:57.11\00:00:59.36 and I stopped doing drugs, and I was not fine. 00:00:59.39\00:01:01.86 I've had the same experience, 00:01:01.90\00:01:03.28 I got a radically saved, and read the Bible, 00:01:03.32\00:01:05.37 went to Bible school thirty days later, 00:01:05.40\00:01:06.66 but I was alcohol and drugs fell off instantly. 00:01:06.69\00:01:08.89 But the sexual addiction thing for years, 00:01:08.93\00:01:10.97 and I was torn, was ripped up, I felt guilty, was ashamed. 00:01:11.00\00:01:14.30 I was in the choir, was in Bible school, 00:01:14.34\00:01:15.75 I was in church, like five or six days a week 00:01:15.79\00:01:17.83 and still struggling. 00:01:17.87\00:01:19.56 And so I know what it's like to be radically saved 00:01:19.59\00:01:22.92 and still have an area or two or three or four five, 00:01:22.96\00:01:26.25 because then you don't know how many you have 00:01:26.28\00:01:28.06 that you're not in control of. 00:01:28.09\00:01:31.10 It feels like you're burping all the time 00:01:31.13\00:01:33.23 with these behaviors. 00:01:33.26\00:01:34.23 I know like what it says I'm a child of God, I'm suppose to 00:01:34.24\00:01:37.21 look like king, but I'm not these things keep popping up. 00:01:37.25\00:01:40.24 What is this so I totally get it. 00:01:40.27\00:01:41.83 You know, when you talked about 00:01:41.87\00:01:43.40 the devotion this morning. 00:01:43.43\00:01:44.54 They should know that everything is cool until 00:01:44.58\00:01:46.61 somebody hits those buttons. 00:01:46.64\00:01:48.11 And all that stuff is there so when 00:01:48.15\00:01:50.37 it comes to the surface. 00:01:50.41\00:01:51.38 It's not because of it he gave me that. 00:01:51.39\00:01:52.78 And that there are interfering with my life, 00:01:52.81\00:01:55.65 is that I have it there. 00:01:55.68\00:01:56.65 Yes, now some of us legitimately have it there 00:01:56.68\00:01:59.35 from things we've experienced, like you had traumas, 00:01:59.38\00:02:01.51 I've had traumas. 00:02:01.54\00:02:02.51 Some of us had really bad role models to say it's 00:02:02.52\00:02:05.49 okay to be angry and throw things or do stuff 00:02:05.53\00:02:08.12 like that when they were smoking or doing stuff. 00:02:08.16\00:02:10.68 And some role models that were issues, and some of us 00:02:10.71\00:02:14.06 there's physical abuse, emotional abuse, abandonment, 00:02:14.10\00:02:17.32 You know abandonment can be very hard on the soul. 00:02:17.36\00:02:20.87 It says your not worth it says you're not worthy to 00:02:20.91\00:02:24.39 be loved, not worthy to be cared for. 00:02:24.42\00:02:26.12 And if you internalize those messages. 00:02:26.15\00:02:28.25 You can repeat that in your own life. 00:02:28.29\00:02:30.35 I tell my clients all the time, 00:02:30.39\00:02:31.77 you can become your own perpetrator. 00:02:31.81\00:02:33.56 Maybe this person abused you, 00:02:33.59\00:02:35.32 maybe this person abused you, 00:02:35.36\00:02:36.61 and this person abused you, 00:02:36.64\00:02:37.61 this person abandoned you. 00:02:37.62\00:02:38.59 But now look what you're doing to yourself! 00:02:38.60\00:02:39.83 And sometimes we get stuck in those foundational 00:02:39.87\00:02:42.83 patterns that relate in our life, 00:02:42.87\00:02:44.36 and we do need to take responsibility for it. 00:02:44.39\00:02:46.58 The first time that I was exposed to any of the 00:02:46.61\00:02:48.73 insights you have, the teachings that you have on coming 00:02:48.77\00:02:52.40 out of all that junk. 00:02:52.43\00:02:53.40 I just wanted to cry because I thought 00:02:53.41\00:02:54.90 how cool is this. 00:02:54.93\00:02:55.90 But what if they got me the most is you come 00:02:55.91\00:02:59.69 from that place, you know what you're talking about. 00:02:59.73\00:03:01.54 And so I want you to share with us who you are. 00:03:01.58\00:03:04.46 Why do you know, when you talk about abandonment, 00:03:04.50\00:03:07.33 right then, could I tell in your eyes that you know 00:03:07.36\00:03:10.16 what you're talking about. 00:03:10.19\00:03:11.62 I was conceived in adultery. 00:03:11.66\00:03:13.02 Okay, I never met my biological dad, 00:03:13.06\00:03:15.46 my mom got divorced from her first husband, 00:03:15.50\00:03:17.72 married a guy she met in a bar, 00:03:17.76\00:03:19.13 his last name is Weiss. 00:03:19.16\00:03:20.29 Okay, that's how I got my name. 00:03:20.32\00:03:22.19 Of course, he was a drunk, so they got divorced. 00:03:22.22\00:03:24.28 So I went in foster homes for several years and then 00:03:24.31\00:03:27.02 she took me out with a guy she was living with 00:03:27.05\00:03:28.19 and he eventually became a step dad. 00:03:28.22\00:03:30.04 I knew abandonment by the time 00:03:30.07\00:03:31.29 I came out of the womb. 00:03:31.32\00:03:33.67 Right, probably even pre, I don't know. 00:03:33.71\00:03:35.24 Probably before that is, who is this new guy 00:03:35.27\00:03:39.06 talking to me. 00:03:39.09\00:03:40.06 So abandonment can be a core anchor for 00:03:40.07\00:03:46.13 dysfunctional behavior. 00:03:46.16\00:03:47.50 Absolutely, but the Spirit of adoption can feel those 00:03:47.53\00:03:50.52 places, but we have to open those places up. 00:03:50.56\00:03:52.37 The thing that really keeps, Cheri, 00:03:52.41\00:03:55.10 us trapped is self-deception. 00:03:55.14\00:03:56.76 So part of the solution is self honesty. 00:03:56.79\00:03:59.00 Yeah, I was abandoned, yeah, my mom, my grandma, 00:03:59.03\00:04:01.98 my dad my legal dad, they all abandoned me. 00:04:02.01\00:04:04.27 I just have to say for anybody out there that 00:04:04.31\00:04:06.53 really doesn't know how to be honest, 00:04:06.57\00:04:08.35 don't let that scare you. 00:04:08.39\00:04:09.75 It's not that complicated. 00:04:09.79\00:04:11.09 But you know, like even coming out of that. 00:04:11.12\00:04:13.43 Somebody said, we did know what you just got to be 00:04:13.46\00:04:15.80 normal or honest. 00:04:15.84\00:04:16.81 I'm like, okay is this good. 00:04:16.82\00:04:18.79 Where you start that? 00:04:20.50\00:04:21.50 Because you know, some of us is that we get so much trash 00:04:21.54\00:04:25.16 kind of on trash, on trash, on trash. 00:04:25.20\00:04:27.60 It's like, what does it mean to be normal, 00:04:27.63\00:04:29.90 what does it mean to be honest. 00:04:29.94\00:04:31.03 What is that mean to feel, to stay present, 00:04:31.07\00:04:34.47 I mean all those kind of things. 00:04:34.51\00:04:35.48 And so what you're saying is with your background. 00:04:35.49\00:04:39.72 That's where you started too. 00:04:39.75\00:04:41.60 I don't know anything, you know, 00:04:41.64\00:04:43.24 I'm coming out of foster homes. 00:04:43.28\00:04:44.82 Yeah well, actually when I came to Lord, 00:04:44.85\00:04:46.66 I was in Bible school, I mean I came there about thirty days 00:04:46.69\00:04:48.48 later I was in my Bible school and I was in the dorm room. 00:04:48.51\00:04:50.27 Like God, if you're going to use me, like, 00:04:50.31\00:04:52.12 could you have chosen a different path? 00:04:52.16\00:04:53.90 In all like give me decent parents, you know, 00:04:53.94\00:04:56.48 give me the Bible went out was six years old? 00:04:56.52\00:04:58.30 To all the kind of stuff, why did I have to go 00:04:58.34\00:05:00.06 through so much abuse and neglect, but I didn't know that 00:05:00.09\00:05:01.92 He had a ministry for me to set captives free. 00:05:01.95\00:05:04.10 So I had to be a captive to set captives free. 00:05:04.14\00:05:06.26 That was His design for me. 00:05:06.29\00:05:08.00 And some of us look at our scars and we don't realize 00:05:08.04\00:05:10.12 that they are His scars for us. 00:05:10.16\00:05:12.22 So that we can release scars for others. 00:05:12.25\00:05:15.52 Instead of being a baby about it, say listen, 00:05:15.56\00:05:18.33 these are my scars now You use them for the glory. 00:05:18.37\00:05:21.26 You use them for Your kingdom, 00:05:21.30\00:05:22.47 and I will open them up and let You heal them, 00:05:22.51\00:05:25.23 so you can heal through them. 00:05:25.27\00:05:27.35 Do you see what I'm saying, and some of us get 00:05:27.38\00:05:29.01 to know where I want to hide my scars. 00:05:29.04\00:05:30.38 You block the Ministry of the Spirit of God when you 00:05:30.42\00:05:33.50 block your scars. 00:05:33.53\00:05:34.64 He's not looking for perfect people He's 00:05:34.67\00:05:36.39 looking for screwed up people, 00:05:36.42\00:05:37.54 and you might qualify. 00:05:37.57\00:05:38.54 Ha ha, I qualify. 00:05:38.55\00:05:40.40 I'm saying in general we qualify, 00:05:40.44\00:05:42.05 he's looking for those flawed people that will 00:05:42.09\00:05:44.68 say I'm flawed and loved, because sinners believe 00:05:44.72\00:05:47.28 their flawed and not loved. 00:05:47.31\00:05:49.05 Right! 00:05:49.08\00:05:50.05 You see the difference? 00:05:50.09\00:05:51.06 When you could accept that your flawed and loved by 00:05:51.09\00:05:53.30 God and others, then you're free to do with 00:05:53.34\00:05:54.90 what He wants you to do on Earth. 00:05:54.93\00:05:55.96 Which is so incredible, 00:05:56.00\00:05:57.35 I don't have to pretend anymore, 00:05:57.38\00:05:58.84 I don't have to fake it anymore, 00:05:58.88\00:06:00.27 I literally can come to God and say God what are You 00:06:00.31\00:06:03.73 going to do with all this stuff. 00:06:03.77\00:06:04.95 And somebody said one time and I just laughed out loud. 00:06:04.99\00:06:07.62 They said, you know, if you have skeletons in your 00:06:07.66\00:06:09.34 closet take them out and teach them to dance. 00:06:09.38\00:06:11.29 And I'm like yes, right. 00:06:11.33\00:06:13.29 That's exactly it so part of getting a grip is doing that. 00:06:13.33\00:06:15.65 I mean we're talking about how someone who is stuck 00:06:15.69\00:06:18.66 in anger, or addictions or pornography or criticism 00:06:18.69\00:06:21.63 or jealousy how they opened that door and the 00:06:21.66\00:06:24.67 first thing is self honesty. 00:06:24.71\00:06:25.83 Then the next step would be disclosure. 00:06:25.87\00:06:29.25 See the Scripture says confess your faults to one another 00:06:29.29\00:06:31.92 that you may be healed. 00:06:31.96\00:06:32.93 So, many Christians are forgiven, 00:06:32.94\00:06:34.80 but they're not healed. 00:06:34.83\00:06:35.92 You see the difference? Because 1 John says, 00:06:35.96\00:06:38.43 if we confess our faults, He'll forgive us. 00:06:38.46\00:06:40.90 But many of us are forgiven, 00:06:40.94\00:06:42.10 but we are not healed, because we are not with 00:06:42.13\00:06:44.01 another person saying hey. 00:06:44.04\00:06:45.01 Here's my stuff, and when that happens, healing happens. 00:06:45.02\00:06:49.39 That's huge. 00:06:49.42\00:06:50.40 And then you're free to be authentic. 00:06:50.43\00:06:51.72 Let me just say that I didn't realize how huge that was. 00:06:51.75\00:06:55.00 I hid my, I came to Christ and hid all my background. 00:06:55.04\00:06:58.25 Homeless, heroine addict, all that stuff. 00:06:58.28\00:07:00.25 You became a Christian right? 00:07:00.28\00:07:01.25 For ten years became a Christian put on the right 00:07:01.26\00:07:02.81 clothes set there dying. 00:07:02.84\00:07:04.10 But as soon as I told somebody and saw the love and compassion 00:07:04.13\00:07:07.44 in their eyes. 00:07:07.48\00:07:08.45 The healing happens, so it is really, 00:07:08.46\00:07:10.86 be careful who you tell pick safe people. 00:07:10.90\00:07:13.27 But as soon as you say it out loud and see the love of 00:07:13.30\00:07:15.55 God in somebody else's eyes, you can kind of let go stuff. 00:07:15.59\00:07:17.80 And it releases the shame instantly in you. 00:07:17.84\00:07:19.29 I did a recovery. 00:07:19.32\00:07:20.82 They talk about doing your fifth step with someone were 00:07:20.85\00:07:23.54 you just really go through your whole garbage list 00:07:23.58\00:07:26.23 and I did that somebody you know, 00:07:26.27\00:07:27.83 and it was another recovery type person. 00:07:27.87\00:07:30.58 He is a great Christian guy and said I love you. 00:07:30.61\00:07:32.51 I left there, drove a block and I was in my little Honda 00:07:32.55\00:07:36.43 at that time because I was in the seminary. 00:07:36.46\00:07:37.60 I'm telling you, the Spirit of God just flushed through me. 00:07:37.64\00:07:40.03 I was so released I had to get out of the car, 00:07:40.06\00:07:42.64 I found a football place. 00:07:42.68\00:07:43.80 And I was jumping around praising God, 00:07:43.83\00:07:45.82 because I believe something like this. 00:07:45.86\00:07:48.08 I believe that if you really knew me, 00:07:48.12\00:07:50.31 you wouldn't love me. 00:07:50.34\00:07:51.31 You see, that is what the enemy wants you to stay 00:07:51.34\00:07:54.50 in, but if you release what you think is 00:07:54.54\00:07:56.60 unlovable to someone who can love you, 00:07:56.63\00:07:58.94 you will never have shame, which is shame 00:07:58.98\00:08:01.26 or guilt about that. 00:08:01.31\00:08:02.28 To the level that you do right now so that is another way 00:08:02.29\00:08:04.05 of getting out of breaking that foundation 00:08:04.09\00:08:06.41 of pain up. 00:08:06.44\00:08:07.41 Self honesty disclosure. 00:08:07.42\00:08:09.07 Disclosure yes. 00:08:09.10\00:08:10.39 And oh, you want more. 00:08:10.43\00:08:11.44 You know, I want to be being well when we are 00:08:11.48\00:08:13.61 done with this interview. 00:08:13.64\00:08:15.21 Well Okay, good for you. 00:08:15.24\00:08:16.77 Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! 00:08:16.81\00:08:18.90 I should take notes that right! 00:08:18.94\00:08:21.16 I'm glad you got the book. 00:08:21.20\00:08:22.66 Because you can't do everything instantly. 00:08:22.70\00:08:25.78 It's a process and God loves process. 00:08:25.82\00:08:27.49 And you know what I like about the process. 00:08:27.52\00:08:29.12 Even with what you are sharing, I look at you 00:08:29.16\00:08:31.61 you are an incredible man of God 00:08:31.64\00:08:33.66 helping people get out of bondage. 00:08:33.70\00:08:35.68 You are happy, full of joy, and all those kind of things. 00:08:35.71\00:08:39.54 Kids and wife and dog. 00:08:39.57\00:08:40.70 Love your house, a place that you want to be. 00:08:40.73\00:08:44.53 You know God is good. 00:08:44.56\00:08:45.57 And so just be able to say with their process is 00:08:45.60\00:08:47.33 every single step you are getting closer to where you 00:08:47.36\00:08:49.80 can just sit in your own skin like it. 00:08:49.83\00:08:51.60 Absolutely, and so then you got yourself disclosure. 00:08:51.64\00:08:54.98 But then self disclosure, doesn't alleviate 00:08:55.02\00:08:57.88 some of the symptoms. 00:08:57.92\00:08:58.92 You know, if you are dealing with anger, 00:08:58.95\00:09:00.14 your compulsive in some way. 00:09:00.18\00:09:01.77 You are doing the ice cream at ten o'clock every 00:09:01.81\00:09:03.49 night or when every trip is. 00:09:03.52\00:09:04.62 You have that going on, now you have to start doing some work. 00:09:04.65\00:09:07.83 American Christians are Western Christians like 00:09:07.86\00:09:11.52 the instantaneous thing. 00:09:11.56\00:09:12.82 You know, it very where were good at that. 00:09:12.85\00:09:15.46 It's under the blood and all that. 00:09:16.22\00:09:18.00 That's fine, but sometimes God will walk 00:09:18.03\00:09:20.05 you through a process. 00:09:20.08\00:09:21.30 Once you start bringing people into the process, 00:09:21.34\00:09:24.60 one of the things we talk about is the power up principle. 00:09:24.63\00:09:27.11 Okay, and that is where you get a team of people, 00:09:27.14\00:09:29.74 or at lease one other person, 00:09:29.77\00:09:30.79 and you are accountable every single day. 00:09:30.82\00:09:32.60 In the book you write down every day you call them. 00:09:32.63\00:09:35.60 Now suppose I'm starting anger or hurt or envy. 00:09:35.64\00:09:38.54 We'll then I you say hey, I'm checking in with that. 00:09:38.58\00:09:40.78 So every day I'm checking envy, or my anger, 00:09:40.82\00:09:43.25 or what ever it is I'm struggling with 00:09:43.28\00:09:44.77 your inner problems. 00:09:44.80\00:09:46.22 Doug, I'm checking in, and I'm doing fine, 00:09:46.25\00:09:48.96 Oh, I slipped, you know. 00:09:49.00\00:09:50.00 I really got ticked off with 00:09:50.04\00:09:51.01 my boss or whatever. 00:09:51.04\00:09:52.01 And so that is like one principle. 00:09:52.02\00:09:53.83 That all by itself can take behavior that has 00:09:53.87\00:09:56.71 been controlling you for thirty years and reduces 00:09:56.75\00:09:59.18 it significantly in two or three weeks. 00:09:59.22\00:10:01.33 And it is because literally if I'm going to 00:10:01.37\00:10:03.31 be accountable to you when it starts coming up, 00:10:03.34\00:10:05.24 I think about it. 00:10:05.28\00:10:06.35 But it's absolutely huge. 00:10:06.38\00:10:08.69 It's an incredibly huge thing. 00:10:08.72\00:10:10.35 Yes, and now so you have the power principle in 00:10:10.38\00:10:13.15 place and you have this accountability, 00:10:13.19\00:10:14.62 at the end that I have a chapter or talk about 00:10:14.65\00:10:16.82 measure me please. 00:10:17.15\00:10:18.49 I hated that chapter. 00:10:18.52\00:10:19.60 You hated that chapter. 00:10:19.63\00:10:20.72 Go ahead, go ahead, though. 00:10:20.76\00:10:21.78 Because what it does, it lets you look at you everyday. 00:10:21.82\00:10:25.16 And sometimes it's not pretty, 00:10:25.20\00:10:26.43 especially like if I'm trying to lose ten pounds or whatever. 00:10:26.46\00:10:28.79 Oh man I went up a pound, went down a pound, up a pound. 00:10:28.82\00:10:33.23 It lets me see that so what happens 00:10:33.26\00:10:35.61 when you measure yourself. 00:10:35.64\00:10:36.77 You literally, you write down whatever the behaviors, 00:10:36.81\00:10:39.60 and you check off every day on how you're doing 00:10:39.63\00:10:41.04 with that behavior. 00:10:41.07\00:10:42.04 That's trying to get me not to exaggerate or lie, right. 00:10:42.05\00:10:44.65 And I'm just, you know, I was manipulative on the 00:10:44.69\00:10:48.77 streets, I was good at what I did, 00:10:48.80\00:10:50.05 and all that kind of stuff, and so measure yourself 00:10:50.09\00:10:52.21 every single time you exaggerate and please don't act like I'm 00:10:52.24\00:10:55.81 the only one that does this. 00:10:55.84\00:10:56.81 Every single time you exaggerate or lie, 00:10:56.83\00:10:58.40 you have to write it down. 00:10:58.43\00:10:59.40 Oh my goodness, your getting notebooks. 00:10:59.41\00:11:01.99 But to see what happens, you see you. 00:11:02.02\00:11:04.53 Amen, and it's so releasing. 00:11:04.56\00:11:06.70 And then there is another step if you want to go 00:11:06.73\00:11:08.94 even further with this and you can see it starting to 00:11:08.97\00:11:11.03 be painful, already like I don't want to look at me. 00:11:11.06\00:11:12.57 Come on this is a lot of looking at me, but yeah, 00:11:14.17\00:11:15.57 you see, you can have the intention of the fruit of the 00:11:15.61\00:11:17.64 Spirit, you can change like if you are an 00:11:19.25\00:11:20.53 impatient, you can actually harvest patience. 00:11:20.57\00:11:21.82 You know what I'm saying. 00:11:21.85\00:11:23.25 And God wants to pour it at you. He wants to do that but 00:11:23.29\00:11:24.68 sometimes, as we just like to have it by accident. 00:11:24.72\00:11:26.37 You can plant it so anyway, 00:11:26.40\00:11:28.69 once you get past the measurement, 00:11:28.72\00:11:30.73 you can say what I call double dipping or consequences. 00:11:30.76\00:11:33.69 Okay, let's call it spank the dog. 00:11:33.72\00:11:35.67 Okay, so spank the dog is, if I do x-behavior. 00:11:35.70\00:11:38.77 Then I get some kind of spanking. 00:11:38.80\00:11:40.68 You know, I don't did eat chocolate for the day, 00:11:40.71\00:11:42.62 I can go to Starbucks, I had to do lunges for half 00:11:42.65\00:11:45.59 a block or whatever. 00:11:45.62\00:11:46.91 I set up a consequence for me, 00:11:46.94\00:11:48.20 gives money to some person, I don't like or whatever. 00:11:48.23\00:11:50.23 I like that, especially the exercises. 00:11:50.26\00:11:52.64 Okay, if I wanted to eat Dryers ice cream, 00:11:52.67\00:11:54.95 I had to go thirty minutes on the bike. 00:11:54.98\00:11:56.86 So I'm going to eat much less ice cream. 00:11:56.89\00:11:59.44 Right, or some people say it they're doing the 00:11:59.47\00:12:01.60 weight thing they say okay, if I eat pass 4 o'clock 00:12:01.63\00:12:03.75 Then I have to spend thirty minutes in aerobics. 00:12:03.78\00:12:06.10 So they stop eating after 4 o'clock, 00:12:06.13\00:12:08.69 because then they loose weight. 00:12:08.72\00:12:09.69 They stop the behavior of eating and after 4 o'clock. 00:12:09.70\00:12:11.50 See what I am saying? 00:12:11.54\00:12:12.51 So getting a grip is a way to take your behaviors and get them 00:12:12.52\00:12:15.28 in submission to your desires or desires of the Holy Spirit. 00:12:15.31\00:12:19.86 And I think, we don't realize at least I didn't 00:12:19.89\00:12:23.25 at the first part of my recovery. 00:12:23.28\00:12:24.88 I so realize it now. 00:12:24.91\00:12:26.07 It is that God says freedom feels good. 00:12:26.10\00:12:28.66 Well, that is where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. 00:12:28.69\00:12:31.02 And so when He comes into us sometimes He gets 00:12:31.05\00:12:33.14 jammed up, because in that area is there's not freedom, yet. 00:12:33.17\00:12:35.42 So He will put pressure on you for 40 or 50 years 00:12:35.45\00:12:37.90 until you pop that thing open so that He can be in that spot. 00:12:37.93\00:12:41.00 You know what I'm saying? 00:12:41.03\00:12:42.38 So then the double dipping. 00:12:42.41\00:12:44.36 I love when you say, 40 or 50 years, 00:12:44.39\00:12:45.81 most people are just groaning right. 00:12:45.84\00:12:47.64 Oh, I know it's been that. 00:12:47.67\00:12:49.76 There's sometimes like you want to hold go door. 00:12:49.79\00:12:52.50 If we open that door up, He wants to be in that 00:12:52.53\00:12:55.38 place not just for us to be free, 00:12:55.41\00:12:57.07 but see He is very capitalistic. 00:12:57.10\00:12:59.59 He wants to set us free so that we can be used to set 00:12:59.62\00:13:01.98 a lots of people free. 00:13:02.01\00:13:03.00 So, His seed, will sow a hundred, a thousand, 00:13:03.03\00:13:05.89 ten thousand or a million. 00:13:05.92\00:13:06.99 If you will open one little door in your life. 00:13:07.03\00:13:09.03 It's who He is. 00:13:09.07\00:13:10.04 Because he loves freedom, heaven is free. 00:13:10.05\00:13:12.11 It's free of time it's free of sin. 00:13:12.14\00:13:13.58 It's a free place. 00:13:13.61\00:13:15.08 Incredible incredible. 00:13:15.11\00:13:16.82 So, or you can double-dip, hey listen if I reach my goal, 00:13:16.85\00:13:19.96 maybe I'm only angry once a week, 00:13:19.99\00:13:21.70 I get to play golf extra, or I get to do a little entertainment 00:13:21.73\00:13:25.07 thing extra, or I can reward myself. 00:13:25.10\00:13:27.07 Some people are motivated by reward. 00:13:27.10\00:13:28.47 Do you see what I am saying so you can. 00:13:28.50\00:13:30.27 I have to say with some of the people that I know and 00:13:30.30\00:13:34.06 love is that when your motivated with reward just 00:13:34.09\00:13:37.53 don't reward yourself at things that cause you damage. 00:13:37.56\00:13:39.83 So if you are overweight, don't go buy donuts. 00:13:39.86\00:13:42.66 So it is like being able to say, be smart, 00:13:42.69\00:13:45.85 because we can trip ourselves up easily. 00:13:45.88\00:13:48.33 Absolutely, you don't want to reinforce negative behavior. 00:13:48.36\00:13:49.93 Absolutely not. 00:13:49.97\00:13:50.94 But you can find things like suppose maybe you're 00:13:50.96\00:13:53.40 struggling with anger, or maybe your a shop-a-holic, 00:13:53.43\00:13:56.70 so you're shopping too much, 00:13:56.73\00:13:58.06 so maybe you say you don't buy anything for 30 00:13:58.09\00:14:01.00 days extra, then I'll get myself a massage. 00:14:01.03\00:14:03.60 You know, and that's a good deal, 00:14:03.63\00:14:06.63 because maybe you're love language is touched. 00:14:06.66\00:14:08.95 So you can say, wow okay, I can reward myself. 00:14:08.98\00:14:12.10 If I don't and I buy something, 00:14:12.13\00:14:13.90 then I don't get that massage. 00:14:13.93\00:14:15.08 They see some people and set that up so again. 00:14:15.11\00:14:17.42 You are setting up systems to destroy a behavior 00:14:17.45\00:14:20.49 that has been in our life proactively. 00:14:20.52\00:14:22.60 We can pro actively go after negative behaviors 00:14:22.63\00:14:25.13 that has the grips about. 00:14:25.16\00:14:26.13 Here is a negative behavior in my life, we all have them. 00:14:26.14\00:14:27.89 Being saved as in get rid of it. 00:14:27.93\00:14:30.00 It helps to put the process of getting rid of 00:14:30.03\00:14:33.50 it and not all of it instantly. 00:14:33.53\00:14:35.30 But God says through the Holy Spirit, 00:14:35.33\00:14:36.72 I promise you I will be so creative in helping you 00:14:36.75\00:14:40.49 unload all that baggage. 00:14:40.52\00:14:41.92 And I find here's what I have learned about Him. 00:14:41.95\00:14:45.79 He, if we're proactive, He doesn't have to be as 00:14:45.82\00:14:50.23 much, because if you say I'm going to do with my 00:14:50.26\00:14:54.51 anger, if I'm going to deal with my envy, 00:14:54.54\00:14:55.93 and going to do with my weight, or I'm going to deal with this, 00:14:55.96\00:14:57.36 then He's like oh, look at that! 00:14:57.39\00:14:59.49 they're trying to clean up their own room 00:14:59.52\00:15:00.55 I'm with that. 00:15:00.58\00:15:01.55 Oh that's great, Oh praise the Lord. 00:15:01.56\00:15:03.23 Oh how sweet! 00:15:03.26\00:15:04.49 but if you intentionally get in a rebellious kind 00:15:04.52\00:15:07.19 of position, where you know what, 00:15:07.22\00:15:08.24 I'm going to be this way, and this is the way am! 00:15:08.27\00:15:10.78 God is going to spank you. 00:15:10.81\00:15:12.14 He's going to discipline because He disciplines 00:15:12.17\00:15:15.12 those He loves. 00:15:15.15\00:15:16.24 Here's what I learnt about spanking, 00:15:16.27\00:15:17.48 is when you move away from God in an area where 00:15:17.51\00:15:19.89 your life increases the arc of His hit. 00:15:19.92\00:15:21.81 OH, Ouch! 00:15:21.84\00:15:23.44 Because if you are in the back seat of the car, 00:15:23.47\00:15:25.50 you always want to be behind your dad, 00:15:25.53\00:15:26.63 because he can't get to you. 00:15:26.66\00:15:27.68 But if you are like where he can whack you, 00:15:27.71\00:15:29.94 So when you move away from the area in your life and 00:15:29.97\00:15:33.31 the Holy Spirit convicts you 00:15:33.34\00:15:34.31 then you are moving away from His kindness, 00:15:34.33\00:15:37.06 His correction, then the arc of His hand increases. 00:15:37.09\00:15:39.13 When He whacks you it will be so hard, 00:15:39.16\00:15:41.33 it will get rid of the behavior, 00:15:41.36\00:15:42.83 but it will cost you much more than if you were 00:15:42.86\00:15:44.44 proactively doing it through confessing your 00:15:44.47\00:15:46.61 faults and having relationships and doing 00:15:46.64\00:15:48.24 what He wants us to do. 00:15:48.27\00:15:49.24 And I just want to say to those that have a hard 00:15:49.25\00:15:51.83 time with this because their parents were abusive 00:15:51.86\00:15:54.57 physically, is that God disciplines us in love. 00:15:54.60\00:15:57.20 He says I want you to sense this freedom. 00:15:57.23\00:15:59.48 I'm going to open up the floor for questions, 00:15:59.51\00:16:02.61 just because I know that people 00:16:02.64\00:16:03.78 have questions of you. 00:16:03.81\00:16:04.93 Some going to open up how about, 00:16:04.96\00:16:08.10 can we start with you Mark? 00:16:08.13\00:16:09.30 So Dr. Weiss, men are stuck. 00:16:09.33\00:16:13.44 And men are busy. 00:16:13.47\00:16:14.49 So my question would be what do you think that it 00:16:14.52\00:16:18.44 is that men need to get a grip on and how can we do 00:16:18.47\00:16:21.45 this in this busy season of our lives? 00:16:21.48\00:16:23.46 Well Mark, I mean, you deal with men at lot 00:16:23.49\00:16:25.63 as a men's minister. 00:16:25.66\00:16:26.63 Oftentimes, they are trying to perform, 00:16:26.64\00:16:28.68 they are trying to prove something. 00:16:28.71\00:16:30.34 Know what I'm saying, that they are worth that they 00:16:30.37\00:16:33.00 are successful, they could wear the nice watch, 00:16:33.03\00:16:34.37 or they can drive a nice car or whatever. 00:16:34.40\00:16:36.00 So, sometimes they lose the value of really what 00:16:36.03\00:16:39.26 they have, you know, great wife, great kids, 00:16:39.29\00:16:42.34 who wants to see them. 00:16:42.37\00:16:43.66 You know what I am saying? 00:16:43.69\00:16:44.96 And so for you, if guys can get a accountable like 00:16:44.99\00:16:48.47 in twos and threes and fours, 00:16:48.50\00:16:50.46 and they can start working on whatever it is, 00:16:50.49\00:16:52.03 that is kind of pushing them. 00:16:52.06\00:16:53.03 They are going to do a lot better. 00:16:53.04\00:16:54.01 Like if they say, you know what I've got a stop work 00:16:54.02\00:16:55.68 work at 45 hours a week. 00:16:55.72\00:16:57.12 And they make themselves like we talked about power 00:16:57.15\00:16:58.83 up, and they get accountable to someone for 00:16:58.86\00:17:00.52 45 hours and more that they got to give the money away. 00:17:00.55\00:17:02.86 Then they'll start working forty five hours a week. 00:17:02.89\00:17:05.34 So just again, the power up is really good for men, 00:17:05.37\00:17:07.97 because we do better in teams. 00:17:08.00\00:17:09.51 You know that your sports guy, 00:17:09.54\00:17:11.46 we do better in teams we do as good 00:17:11.49\00:17:13.12 at home by our selves. 00:17:13.15\00:17:14.12 You know what I have to say, 00:17:14.13\00:17:15.23 which is really interesting. 00:17:15.26\00:17:16.23 We are in a society that we get more and more 00:17:16.24\00:17:19.29 isolated, we're in front of our computers, were on our 00:17:19.32\00:17:22.24 iPods or watching TV and so we get 00:17:22.27\00:17:23.83 more and more separated. 00:17:23.86\00:17:25.64 What your saying, you know kind of breakaway 00:17:25.67\00:17:27.70 from that and reconnect with each other. 00:17:28.18\00:17:29.97 Yeah, I'm not sure you know Jesus liked to walk 00:17:30.00\00:17:31.98 and He liked to walk in groups. 00:17:32.01\00:17:34.10 He always had guys around Him talking. 00:17:34.13\00:17:36.04 He didn't have iPods. 00:17:36.07\00:17:37.35 They laugh, joke, talked about their wives 00:17:37.38\00:17:39.84 and had a good time. 00:17:39.87\00:17:40.94 We missing that relationship component, 00:17:40.97\00:17:43.20 you know all communities are being 00:17:43.23\00:17:45.48 affected by this kind of technological de-socialization. 00:17:45.51\00:17:49.42 That's what happens with our kids. 00:17:49.45\00:17:51.41 Our kids are not allowed to watch video games or 00:17:51.45\00:17:53.62 read on the computer very long, 00:17:53.66\00:17:54.63 because it is like this de-socialization 00:17:54.66\00:17:56.68 that's happening. 00:17:56.72\00:17:57.69 I think that's what's happening to lot of not 00:17:57.70\00:17:58.74 just men, but ladies too. 00:17:58.77\00:18:00.24 Ladies are on the computer they would rather chat to 00:18:00.27\00:18:02.18 their sister instead of just calling her. 00:18:02.21\00:18:03.99 You know sometimes my kids are on her cell phone 00:18:04.02\00:18:06.29 She is texting someone sitting right next to her. 00:18:06.33\00:18:08.57 Why don't you just talk to her? 00:18:08.61\00:18:10.19 She's right there. 00:18:10.22\00:18:11.59 I know it's so much cooler I'm thinking, 00:18:11.62\00:18:14.31 We are losing a generation. 00:18:14.34\00:18:15.40 But you know, I think if you try to do recovery. 00:18:15.43\00:18:18.46 If you're trying to really look at your stuff and all 00:18:18.49\00:18:21.34 that is to connect with someone. 00:18:21.37\00:18:22.37 Absolutely, for guys, relationships are key. 00:18:22.40\00:18:24.90 You know, I see that, I see that in every 00:18:24.93\00:18:27.21 single church I go to. 00:18:27.24\00:18:28.33 We have another question, Larry had a question. 00:18:28.36\00:18:31.53 I've got several questions, 00:18:31.56\00:18:33.28 but I'm going to try to get this down into one. 00:18:33.31\00:18:35.70 You know you are talking about for one thing 00:18:35.73\00:18:38.11 I am a people person. 00:18:38.14\00:18:39.16 But what I've got personal problems, 00:18:39.19\00:18:40.89 I don't want to talk to people about it. 00:18:40.92\00:18:42.52 And I've got things in my life that I know I do 00:18:42.55\00:18:46.17 wrong and I'll say okay I know I'm doing this wrong. 00:18:46.20\00:18:48.92 I know I'm doing that wrong. 00:18:48.95\00:18:50.43 I'm doing as this way. 00:18:50.46\00:18:51.43 It's like I'm asking myself, 00:18:51.44\00:18:52.96 do I have a self-destruct thing going on here. 00:18:52.99\00:18:56.86 Why is it that I can see it, but I can't touch it? 00:18:56.89\00:18:59.62 Well I think we all have the self-destruct 00:18:59.65\00:19:01.64 thing called sin. 00:19:01.67\00:19:02.64 It's a really bad thing. 00:19:02.67\00:19:03.87 What you're described in like is for me, 00:19:03.90\00:19:06.78 when I was abused and so sometimes I would act out 00:19:06.81\00:19:09.10 of my pain so I didn't feel that. 00:19:09.13\00:19:11.36 So some time to heal that thing, 00:19:11.39\00:19:12.86 and there's actually an exercise in the book 00:19:12.89\00:19:14.55 called, Cleansing the Temple where you 00:19:14.58\00:19:15.94 Identify those people who hurt you, you deal with 00:19:15.97\00:19:17.64 those issues and forgive them, 00:19:17.70\00:19:18.82 but you get to the anger work first 00:19:18.85\00:19:20.53 So you can pop those wounds. 00:19:20.56\00:19:21.53 Sometimes, we are acting out of our wounded-ness, 00:19:21.54\00:19:24.00 and so if we heal that wounded area than we are 00:19:24.03\00:19:26.51 not going to act out that way. 00:19:26.54\00:19:27.51 So, that is one thing that can really, really help you. 00:19:27.52\00:19:29.94 Now the other thing you are stuck with is 00:19:29.97\00:19:31.55 over adoration of your personality. 00:19:31.58\00:19:33.54 Okay, which means you like yourself too much. 00:19:33.57\00:19:36.01 I don't think so. 00:19:36.04\00:19:38.85 Well in this way, because Scripture says confession 00:19:38.88\00:19:41.27 of one's faults to another, and you're like, 00:19:41.30\00:19:43.32 I not want to do that. 00:19:43.35\00:19:44.32 No, because I don't look at me. 00:19:44.33\00:19:45.88 No, you don't want to be obedient. 00:19:45.91\00:19:46.98 I don't want to be obedient? 00:19:47.01\00:19:49.17 Yeah, the Scripture says confession faults one to 00:19:49.20\00:19:51.56 another and you are like know 00:19:51.59\00:19:53.11 I do not want to do that. 00:19:53.14\00:19:54.52 I want to confess them to God, 00:19:54.55\00:19:56.17 I don't want to talk to people about them. 00:19:56.20\00:19:57.65 Yeah but you see your classic, your classic, Larry 00:19:57.68\00:20:00.67 I love you because you are being honest, okay? 00:20:00.71\00:20:02.78 Most of us do not want to do the hard work of 00:20:02.81\00:20:05.92 talking to another person about our faults or our 00:20:05.95\00:20:08.66 flaws our faults our pain. 00:20:08.69\00:20:11.05 We don't want to do the work. 00:20:11.08\00:20:12.09 And that's how many Christians, 00:20:12.12\00:20:13.75 and I'm not talking about you specifically, 00:20:13.78\00:20:15.16 most Christians are forgiving. 00:20:15.19\00:20:17.38 The blood has covered them but they are not healed, 00:20:17.41\00:20:19.31 because healing is in the body of Christ. 00:20:19.34\00:20:21.46 Not in the head of Christ. 00:20:21.49\00:20:22.57 Since resurrection He has transferred the healing power 00:20:22.60\00:20:25.11 to the body of Christ. 00:20:25.14\00:20:26.21 So if you want healing of your hurts and heart you have to 00:20:26.24\00:20:29.12 go to the body members to get it. 00:20:29.15\00:20:31.32 So, so many Western Christians Cheri, 00:20:31.35\00:20:34.23 missed that point. 00:20:34.26\00:20:36.24 So, that is a great question. 00:20:36.27\00:20:38.01 I thank you. 00:20:38.04\00:20:39.06 You know what really is interesting to me, 00:20:39.09\00:20:40.06 is that it really does go back as the Bible is clearer for 00:20:40.07\00:20:45.24 our obedience in the Bible is clear. 00:20:45.27\00:20:46.53 But we are afraid. 00:20:46.57\00:20:47.85 And a love when you say about the abuse because I 00:20:47.89\00:20:50.23 was sexually abused for so long, so when you say, 00:20:50.26\00:20:53.51 when I know that healing happens if I open myself 00:20:53.55\00:20:56.39 up to you, but I haven't opened myself to myself 00:20:56.43\00:20:58.61 because I'm afraid of dealing with that pain. 00:20:58.65\00:21:00.80 I'm kind of stuck in this vicious thing. 00:21:00.83\00:21:03.22 We project rejection, it's kind of like the guy who 00:21:03.26\00:21:06.71 put the talent in the ground, 00:21:06.74\00:21:08.49 they said to the king I thought 00:21:08.52\00:21:10.23 you were an angry man. 00:21:10.27\00:21:11.24 And you wanted to sow were you didn't reap. 00:21:11.25\00:21:14.02 Actually, he was projecting onto the king. 00:21:14.05\00:21:16.81 No people, you find loving people in the body of Christ, 00:21:16.84\00:21:20.52 some one talks to you Larry, about a problem 00:21:20.56\00:21:22.67 that they are having in their life, your not going to say 00:21:22.70\00:21:24.41 I didn't realize that you were so strange, 00:21:24.44\00:21:25.50 is that going to be your response? 00:21:25.53\00:21:27.23 I like to help people, I like to help people with their problems. 00:21:27.26\00:21:30.65 So why don't you let them have the same feeling? 00:21:30.68\00:21:32.28 Because they would enjoy helping you. 00:21:32.31\00:21:35.22 Yeah, right. 00:21:35.26\00:21:36.31 You see that's where we're stuck. 00:21:36.34\00:21:37.31 You see he's very symptomatic of not just men, 00:21:37.32\00:21:39.85 but the body of Christ. 00:21:39.88\00:21:41.03 That is the great interaction there. 00:21:41.07\00:21:43.47 But what's incredible is when you start healing 00:21:43.50\00:21:45.95 when you start doing and being obedient to how God 00:21:45.98\00:21:48.39 has unfolded our healing is that. 00:21:48.43\00:21:51.59 I didn't have a choice, cause I was in prayer and 00:21:51.63\00:21:54.16 God told me you tell your room mate every time that you 00:21:54.20\00:21:56.41 do this one behavior. 00:21:56.44\00:21:57.41 I was in seminary. 00:21:57.42\00:21:58.39 When I came back to Florida, 00:21:58.40\00:22:00.14 I made a deal with him one hundred percent of what 00:22:00.17\00:22:01.63 you tell me, no questions asked. 00:22:01.67\00:22:02.64 That is how I got some of the weird jobs I got. 00:22:02.65\00:22:04.47 and so but, I didn't have a choice, 00:22:04.50\00:22:07.08 I don't get this option thing. 00:22:07.11\00:22:08.28 Like I don't want to, I don't get that. 00:22:08.32\00:22:10.80 I tell my kids it doesn't matter if you want to or not 00:22:10.84\00:22:12.73 I'm your dad, do that. 00:22:12.76\00:22:13.89 Do you know what I'm saying? 00:22:13.93\00:22:14.99 I think sometimes Americans think they have an option. 00:22:15.03\00:22:18.02 And it robs us! 00:22:18.05\00:22:19.84 It robs me if I don't obey Him! 00:22:19.88\00:22:22.27 So Monique, I know that you had a question. 00:22:22.31\00:22:24.87 Yes, I came to work today here at the café, and I 00:22:24.91\00:22:29.06 did not expect to disclose something but I am about 00:22:29.10\00:22:33.22 to share something as we're talking about 00:22:33.26\00:22:34.91 disclosures is one of the keys to healing. 00:22:34.95\00:22:37.05 I have an issue that I've struggled with in 00:22:37.09\00:22:39.16 in various points of my life. 00:22:39.20\00:22:40.71 Growing up in New York, my dad use 00:22:40.74\00:22:43.38 to take us to school, elementary school, and 00:22:43.42\00:22:45.47 I was late almost everyday. 00:22:45.50\00:22:47.58 And now its has carried over into my adult life. 00:22:47.62\00:22:50.26 And it is always like five minutes is never usually 00:22:50.29\00:22:52.90 more than five minutes late, 00:22:52.93\00:22:54.19 but it's still five minutes and I'm still late. 00:22:54.23\00:22:57.04 And it's a chronic problem, 00:22:57.08\00:22:59.35 I think it is really rude and inconsiderate to be 00:22:59.39\00:23:01.18 even a minute late to an appointment 00:23:01.22\00:23:02.59 to work or whatever. 00:23:02.62\00:23:03.71 My dad one time told me that it doesn't matter if 00:23:03.74\00:23:07.52 you're a few minutes late as two long as you are 00:23:07.55\00:23:09.30 not trying to catch a plane. 00:23:09.33\00:23:10.52 Because that is the only time that lateness really matters. 00:23:10.55\00:23:12.39 He said that to me when I was little, 00:23:12.42\00:23:13.92 and I think now as an adult is in the back of my 00:23:13.95\00:23:16.62 mind, it is still there. 00:23:16.66\00:23:17.63 How can I overcome this chronically lateness issue? 00:23:17.64\00:23:19.98 I think in the past I have excused it, 00:23:20.01\00:23:21.98 saying that maybe that it was the train, 00:23:22.02\00:23:24.14 all the delays on the subways in New York, 00:23:24.17\00:23:27.03 but I can't make an excuse to have to face it. 00:23:27.06\00:23:29.85 You are fighting against a consistent role model that 00:23:29.88\00:23:32.46 you have developed with, you have kind 00:23:32.50\00:23:34.27 of grew up along side of. 00:23:34.31\00:23:35.28 But your insights right, you have to 00:23:35.29\00:23:36.69 take personal responsibility. 00:23:36.73\00:23:37.90 Like my daughter Hadassah, she has a similar problem. 00:23:37.94\00:23:41.14 She never, we're never late, but she likes to be. 00:23:41.17\00:23:43.87 So we set it up in school that she is not in the car 00:23:43.90\00:23:48.07 by 7:00 o'clock then at 7:01 she has a consequence. 00:23:48.10\00:23:50.67 Okay, so you can either set up a consequence or a reward. 00:23:50.70\00:23:53.64 So you can say if I'm late even one minute late. 00:23:53.67\00:23:56.29 I'm going to do twenty five push-ups, 00:23:56.32\00:23:57.67 as soon as I get in my office. 00:23:57.70\00:23:59.35 You'll stop within, probably one month. 00:23:59.38\00:24:01.80 See, because right now there is no consequence 00:24:01.83\00:24:04.43 that stops you from this even though the 00:24:04.46\00:24:05.69 Spirit is telling you it's kind of rude. 00:24:05.72\00:24:07.31 You are not valuing them as equals. 00:24:07.34\00:24:09.04 You know what I'm saying, and you get convicted, 00:24:09.07\00:24:11.72 but now set that up and set some 00:24:11.75\00:24:13.18 accountability with somebody. 00:24:13.21\00:24:14.24 Just picks any good friend and say listen, 00:24:14.27\00:24:15.85 I'm going to kill this thing. 00:24:15.88\00:24:16.85 But you know what, say what does your daughter do 00:24:16.86\00:24:19.00 because I think that worked for me 00:24:19.03\00:24:21.23 and I know what she has to do. 00:24:21.26\00:24:22.78 What we do with her is that I hand her write a 00:24:22.81\00:24:26.60 statement that says, to be early is to be on time, 00:24:26.63\00:24:29.10 to be off time is to be late, to be late is to be rude. 00:24:29.13\00:24:31.41 Okay, and she has to write that twenty five times. 00:24:31.44\00:24:33.87 If she is late, so first thing she gets in the car 00:24:33.90\00:24:35.56 she has to write. 00:24:35.59\00:24:36.56 She doesn't like to write because that is a time to 00:24:36.57\00:24:38.28 text, her friends, to kind of have her own time. 00:24:38.31\00:24:40.96 So she doesn't want that consequence to happen so 00:24:40.99\00:24:43.98 now she is in the car and she is on time. 00:24:44.01\00:24:45.95 You know what I love about what she wrote, 00:24:45.98\00:24:47.95 is for me that I need to put that in my head is to 00:24:47.98\00:24:50.82 be late is to really be rude. 00:24:50.85\00:24:52.57 And I need to somehow reprogram myself with that 00:24:52.60\00:24:56.12 statement instead of looking at it as it is no big deal. 00:24:56.15\00:24:59.08 And whatever as it really is a big deal. 00:24:59.11\00:25:01.17 Well for some people, especially 00:25:01.20\00:25:03.09 if they are northeast coast, it is very rude. 00:25:03.12\00:25:04.49 I grew up in a culture of rudeness was looked at is 00:25:04.52\00:25:06.90 almost as you cursed at them. 00:25:06.93\00:25:08.16 In you weren't ten minutes early, you weren't on time. 00:25:08.19\00:25:12.05 But that can be a value thing, you can say Lord, 00:25:12.08\00:25:16.07 I want to treat my boss and other employees as if they 00:25:16.10\00:25:18.80 are valuable to me so I want to get there 00:25:18.83\00:25:20.20 first to serve them. 00:25:20.23\00:25:21.20 So I will be there five minutes early in case somebody 00:25:21.21\00:25:22.92 needs to be served, some kind of service or ministry thing 00:25:22.95\00:25:24.89 before I start my day. 00:25:24.92\00:25:26.01 How cool is that. 00:25:26.04\00:25:27.16 So see if set yourself up, see you have a natural 00:25:27.19\00:25:32.34 father, that didn't help you, 00:25:32.37\00:25:33.34 but you have a heavenly Father, Whose never late. 00:25:33.35\00:25:35.33 See what I'm saying! 00:25:35.36\00:25:38.12 Thanks, alright! 00:25:38.15\00:25:39.12 You look like you had a little more going on there. 00:25:39.13\00:25:41.30 I do and want to take this thing a different direction, 00:25:41.33\00:25:43.06 but I have some friends, being single, 00:25:43.09\00:25:45.85 and we always talk about relationships, and what 00:25:45.88\00:25:48.07 we are looking for. 00:25:48.10\00:25:49.07 So many single women seem to choose the same type of 00:25:49.08\00:25:52.06 guy, whether they are emotionally unavailable 00:25:52.09\00:25:54.25 commitment phobic, whatever the issue are. 00:25:54.28\00:25:57.18 They find themselves in a cycle where they are 00:25:57.21\00:25:58.94 choosing people don't really have qualities that 00:25:58.97\00:26:02.14 they are looking for a future spouse. 00:26:02.17\00:26:03.91 Using some of the same tools that you were talking 00:26:03.94\00:26:06.50 about being accountable, how do you remedy that? 00:26:06.53\00:26:10.90 The people who are constantly in 00:26:10.93\00:26:12.44 involved in destructive relationships. 00:26:12.47\00:26:14.75 Now, this book they're probably there might be some 00:26:14.78\00:26:17.22 core family of origin or abuse or neglect issues so now 00:26:17.25\00:26:19.50 they are self abandoning themselves so they can break 00:26:19.53\00:26:21.75 with it and get a grip. 00:26:21.79\00:26:22.76 I saw something called successfully single. 00:26:22.77\00:26:24.39 It which a single person makes himself accountable 00:26:24.42\00:26:27.27 to a couple through the whole process. 00:26:27.30\00:26:29.20 So someone comes up to you at a coffee shop and says 00:26:29.23\00:26:31.81 Monique I think I'd like to get to know you 00:26:31.84\00:26:34.35 you say well here's Bob and Carol's phone number you 00:26:34.38\00:26:36.41 can call them and if they like you. 00:26:36.44\00:26:38.23 Then I'll be able to go on a date with you. 00:26:38.26\00:26:40.27 And they set up an authority over them that 00:26:40.30\00:26:43.16 lets them see things differently because you 00:26:43.19\00:26:44.89 know, you're cute and your young and 00:26:44.92\00:26:45.95 you might be emotional. 00:26:45.98\00:26:47.22 But if you got a couple over you and the guys like Hey! 00:26:47.25\00:26:49.91 So, what do you do for a living? 00:26:49.94\00:26:51.18 How long have you been doing that? So guys will 00:26:51.21\00:26:53.35 you know so you got a spiritual father over you. 00:26:53.38\00:26:55.45 That says Heh, I want to ask this guys some real questions. 00:26:55.48\00:26:57.52 Then start the process said it will save you a 00:26:57.55\00:26:59.98 lot of wear and tear. 00:27:00.01\00:27:00.98 And then you're going be accountable every two 00:27:00.99\00:27:02.60 to four weeks on what you are doing physically with 00:27:02.63\00:27:05.23 each other is sometimes what you see Monique, is 00:27:05.26\00:27:06.94 what your friends aren't telling you. 00:27:06.97\00:27:08.56 It might be physically inappropriate together 00:27:08.59\00:27:11.42 They're actually gluing to that person and now they 00:27:11.45\00:27:13.68 have a physical bond to that person that keeps them in 00:27:13.71\00:27:16.28 that relationship that is no longer helpful to them. 00:27:16.31\00:27:18.60 So Yeah being a team is much better than going up there 00:27:18.63\00:27:23.51 by yourself as a single person. 00:27:23.54\00:27:24.90 I love that idea. 00:27:24.93\00:27:26.38 Oh It's free, 00:27:26.41\00:27:27.38 That's freeing, could you I just try to picture the guy 00:27:27.39\00:27:30.95 saying I've got some friends that really 00:27:30.98\00:27:32.74 want to talk to you first. 00:27:32.77\00:27:33.74 If they like you then we'll go out. 00:27:33.76\00:27:35.51 I can just see the guys face, like what. 00:27:35.54\00:27:37.08 What happens is see here's the thing, if a man 00:27:37.11\00:27:39.64 can't submit to authority in dating, 00:27:39.67\00:27:41.79 he's going to be a tyrant as a man. 00:27:41.82\00:27:43.90 Oh shut up, That is great. 00:27:43.93\00:27:45.56 See what I am saying? 00:27:45.59\00:27:46.92 So if he can submit to authority during dating, 00:27:46.95\00:27:48.23 You are going to be able to be led the 00:27:48.26\00:27:50.98 rest of your life, through him. 00:27:51.01\00:27:52.11 See what I am saying? so the dating process in 00:27:52.14\00:27:55.36 successfully single sets you up to measure how he 00:27:55.39\00:27:58.09 can walk through a process. 00:27:58.12\00:27:59.19 And you get to see it so that when you are in the 00:27:59.22\00:28:01.43 car by yourself at ten thirty at night. 00:28:01.46\00:28:02.78 And like hey, hey, hey Heh, like listen, we're going to talk 00:28:02.81\00:28:04.52 Bob and Carol so if you start doing that. 00:28:04.55\00:28:06.12 You need to know that I'm going to tell them. 00:28:06.15\00:28:08.93 So now you see, you have a different level of value, 00:28:08.96\00:28:13.20 because men don't mind working for a women who think 00:28:13.23\00:28:15.36 she's valuable. 00:28:15.39\00:28:16.36 Wow, Thank you so much. 00:28:16.37\00:28:18.16 Thank you for asking that, that will help a lot of people. 00:28:18.20\00:28:21.15 That's incredible, any more questions? 00:28:21.19\00:28:22.66 Nyse do have a question. 00:28:22.69\00:28:24.18 Yes matter fact, I do. 00:28:24.21\00:28:25.43 So check this out, we got everything and we see the whole 00:28:25.46\00:28:29.37 picture of how it all works and stuff like that. 00:28:29.40\00:28:31.24 I have a little quick question, 00:28:31.27\00:28:33.27 One of the parts is self honesty. 00:28:33.30\00:28:36.18 So I'm going to be self honest, 00:28:36.21\00:28:39.25 I'm going to start jotting all these things down the 00:28:39.28\00:28:41.07 things that need to be honest with now. 00:28:41.11\00:28:42.62 Why don't you just pick one at a time. 00:28:42.65\00:28:44.09 That's the question is not going to be only one thing 00:28:44.12\00:28:47.96 that we need to deal with. 00:28:47.99\00:28:49.01 So even be personalized, where no were dealing with 00:28:49.04\00:28:52.26 different addictions. 00:28:52.29\00:28:53.37 My mom she was on every drug, on the market, 00:28:53.40\00:28:55.10 She was with almost every other man, you know what I mean. 00:28:55.13\00:28:57.84 So some of these things kind of passed down. 00:28:57.87\00:29:00.04 So I kind of seen myself getting to these situations years ago. 00:29:00.07\00:29:03.57 And I'm like, how am I going to deal with this. 00:29:03.60\00:29:05.43 One thing I found out, I did the self honestly thing 00:29:05.46\00:29:08.56 I started jotting it down what would you recommend? 00:29:08.59\00:29:11.12 I, in the work that we do, people have so many situations. 00:29:11.15\00:29:14.95 We mainly work with them on their diets, but come to find 00:29:14.98\00:29:16.96 out they have a diet issue because you know there's 00:29:16.99\00:29:19.33 a personal issue behind that and then 00:29:19.36\00:29:21.09 there's a family issue, then abuse issue my goodness. 00:29:21.12\00:29:23.35 So in dealing with that, after listing down, is it a good thing 00:29:23.38\00:29:28.16 to start with something that is easy, like me personally, 00:29:28.19\00:29:31.66 I started my diet. 00:29:31.69\00:29:33.48 But that is pretty much okay to do that, 00:29:33.51\00:29:35.77 and once I got victory over this and start controlling 00:29:35.80\00:29:38.74 it as that man is giving me a little help so that big 00:29:38.77\00:29:42.47 Goliath that I'm dealing with he's not that bad after all 00:29:42.50\00:29:45.09 Is that something that you would recommend, is there 00:29:45.12\00:29:48.06 level of severity or degree of these all the 00:29:48.09\00:29:52.03 things I'm dealing with the start of little 00:29:52.06\00:29:53.51 one or start a hard one. 00:29:53.54\00:29:54.78 You can start either way. 00:29:54.81\00:29:56.53 Your intuition is right and it's great 00:29:56.56\00:29:58.35 question because we haven't addressed that yet. 00:29:58.38\00:29:59.63 And that is you only take one at a time. 00:29:59.66\00:30:01.46 And we use the Blitz Greed method, use all of your 00:30:01.49\00:30:04.26 energy on one front. 00:30:04.29\00:30:05.58 Don't try to take it all one time. 00:30:05.61\00:30:07.40 And what is interesting the other thing that you 00:30:07.43\00:30:09.31 mentioned, you know before David took on Goliath. 00:30:09.34\00:30:11.76 There was the lion and the bear. 00:30:11.79\00:30:14.16 You know what I'm saying, he had steps before he got there. 00:30:14.19\00:30:16.70 So when he saw the giant he said well, I saw this before. 00:30:16.73\00:30:18.71 I can do this, you know I'm saying nothing new. 00:30:18.74\00:30:21.77 Just a different face on the same problem. 00:30:21.80\00:30:23.09 So some times you want to start with the one behavior so 00:30:23.12\00:30:26.91 it diet or something like that but then do the healing 00:30:26.94\00:30:30.11 work, underneath that there's been abandonment 00:30:30.14\00:30:32.30 or abuse and neglect. 00:30:32.33\00:30:33.30 Clean that stuff out why you're working on that behavior. 00:30:33.31\00:30:35.17 That that you can do. 00:30:35.20\00:30:36.17 But just stick on one behavior. 00:30:36.18\00:30:37.63 So each step has to be taking care of in its 00:30:37.66\00:30:40.28 entirety in no kill it or don't know if I can say that. 00:30:40.31\00:30:44.33 Get rid of it altogether, because I found the thing I 00:30:44.36\00:30:48.34 that personally me, held me back is. 00:30:48.38\00:30:50.11 I try to be a jack of all, and nibble at this and take 00:30:50.14\00:30:53.60 and I said I thought I took care of this. 00:30:53.63\00:30:55.58 And it's creeping back up, so that's what. 00:30:55.61\00:30:58.53 You deal with one 30, 60, or 90 days. 00:30:58.56\00:31:00.80 And by then you are usually victorious. 00:31:00.83\00:31:02.48 Then you pick up the next one in you 00:31:02.51\00:31:04.74 start measuring that one. 00:31:04.77\00:31:05.76 Hear I'm saying, that's the way you are successful. 00:31:05.79\00:31:07.58 So you want to aim all your energy, 00:31:07.61\00:31:09.71 spiritually praying for that thing emotionally 00:31:09.74\00:31:12.12 and then intellectually. 00:31:12.15\00:31:14.26 Start reading in disciplining yourself to do that 00:31:14.29\00:31:16.88 stuff and you start getting momentum 00:31:16.92\00:31:19.45 against the problem, they you're done with that one 00:31:19.48\00:31:22.42 And then of course something else will come round. 00:31:22.45\00:31:25.26 Well, I don't know to do that. 00:31:25.29\00:31:26.56 I'm saying that book was a 00:31:26.59\00:31:29.80 like um fire, aim. 00:31:29.83\00:31:32.55 Instead of aim, fire, that kind of thing. 00:31:32.58\00:31:34.33 You have to aim at what you want to fire at. 00:31:34.36\00:31:36.20 Stay focused, right there, if you'll stay right there, 00:31:36.23\00:31:39.81 you will get success. 00:31:39.84\00:31:40.81 Which is great. 00:31:40.82\00:31:42.40 So we can actually get a grip on this thing now. 00:31:42.43\00:31:44.59 And you feel good about it. 00:31:45.34\00:31:46.56 You feel good about yourself, 00:31:46.60\00:31:47.75 because not only what get a grip does, not only gives 00:31:47.79\00:31:49.96 you a set of skills, 00:31:50.00\00:31:50.97 but then those skills can be applied in anything. 00:31:50.98\00:31:53.47 You know what I'm saying. 00:31:53.50\00:31:55.20 If you want to better at a certain thing may be a 00:31:55.23\00:31:57.80 tennis game me one better bowling or what ever you 00:31:57.83\00:31:59.59 can start aiming those same skills that I've got 00:31:59.62\00:32:02.58 a discipline myself. 00:32:02.62\00:32:03.59 I got be accountable to the practice and what I 00:32:03.60\00:32:04.81 have got to do and boom, you can be successful. 00:32:04.84\00:32:06.58 And the skills work for both sides getting rid of 00:32:06.61\00:32:09.03 something and been successful in something. 00:32:09.06\00:32:10.40 I love the way that even the transition into it. 00:32:10.43\00:32:14.00 First it made me look like you are dealing with a lot 00:32:14.03\00:32:16.14 of junk anger or molest all that kind of stuff. 00:32:16.17\00:32:18.24 Whatever the issues are and as you get healthier. 00:32:18.27\00:32:20.82 It really is skills that learn for healthier things 00:32:20.85\00:32:23.37 Sure, like saying, you could get as you grow 00:32:23.40\00:32:25.67 spiritually is I'm not dealing with you on drinking alcohol. 00:32:25.70\00:32:29.01 I haven't had trouble with that 25 or 30 years, 00:32:29.04\00:32:30.70 but I could be dealing with impatience. 00:32:30.73\00:32:33.43 Or can we deal with going 60 mph in a 55. 00:32:33.46\00:32:36.91 Do you know what I'm saying. 00:32:36.94\00:32:38.89 Somebody out there is like that a problem. 00:32:38.92\00:32:41.03 So, but they're not there yet. 00:32:41.06\00:32:42.93 And God is really gracious about all that, 00:32:42.96\00:32:45.75 like He sometimes. 00:32:45.78\00:32:46.84 Most times He'll thumb you on one thing at a time 00:32:46.87\00:32:49.43 really hard, 00:32:49.46\00:32:50.43 It's like ok son, please deal with this because 00:32:50.44\00:32:51.86 I don't want to take you out on that mountain 00:32:51.90\00:32:53.48 again I went to take you somewhere else. 00:32:53.51\00:32:55.95 You keep doing this so I want to go here. 00:32:55.98\00:32:59.86 Please deal with this because I have a blessing. 00:32:59.89\00:33:01.76 I want to pour into you, and that's it My way, 00:33:01.79\00:33:04.47 because your hands are full I need you to empty them 00:33:04.50\00:33:07.89 so I could put some different in them. 00:33:07.92\00:33:08.92 I love what Nyse brought up because he is our, he 00:33:08.95\00:33:13.68 really is a health expert it is what his 00:33:13.71\00:33:16.10 ministry is and he talks about health and taking 00:33:16.13\00:33:19.02 care of yourself physically, 00:33:19.05\00:33:20.02 and I want to just ask your opinion on that, 00:33:20.03\00:33:22.25 because I somebody come out a 00:33:22.28\00:33:23.77 horrendous addictions and they will be setting in a 00:33:23.80\00:33:27.18 twelve step group with a cigarette and caffeine and just 00:33:27.21\00:33:30.55 so you think how can they get to their frontal lobes. 00:33:30.58\00:33:34.64 How do you get to think and what do you think as 00:33:34.67\00:33:36.92 far as tying into that whole physical healing. 00:33:36.95\00:33:39.09 As far as recovery, I think it is perfect and 00:33:39.12\00:33:42.02 for many of us my journey started with 00:33:42.05\00:33:44.75 spiritually healing first, I needed that encounter. 00:33:44.78\00:33:47.14 And that it moved into my soul and my body. 00:33:47.17\00:33:50.69 Absolutely. 00:33:50.72\00:33:51.71 And I think you have to maintain a healthy a body if 00:33:51.74\00:33:54.64 you're going to be emotionally healthy. 00:33:54.67\00:33:55.78 You can't be emotionally healthy and you got a pile 00:33:55.81\00:33:59.43 of lasagna, your pile of ice cream, a chocolate cake and 00:33:59.46\00:34:02.56 your remote control and your caffeine and that's your evening 00:34:02.59\00:34:06.51 You're going to be sick. 00:34:06.54\00:34:08.75 You're not exactly going to be the life of the party. 00:34:08.78\00:34:11.44 As much as we think we can do that. 00:34:14.12\00:34:15.75 I can do all that and still stay thinking 00:34:15.78\00:34:18.51 clearly very but in the room is like hello. 00:34:18.54\00:34:20.72 I know how actually feel when I get too many fats I 00:34:20.75\00:34:23.62 get clogged in my brain. 00:34:23.65\00:34:24.95 If you are really preparing your brain for 00:34:24.98\00:34:27.69 activity, like before I speak, I don't eat a lot of beef 00:34:27.73\00:34:31.47 I won't eat sugar. 00:34:31.51\00:34:32.48 I was off of sugar for like ten years. 00:34:32.49\00:34:34.19 At one point that I still find if I have sugar before I'm 00:34:34.22\00:34:37.28 going to be up somewhere, it can crash me. 00:34:37.31\00:34:40.03 So I had to be responsible with that, with my body type. 00:34:40.06\00:34:42.10 And all this need to be responsible for what God 00:34:42.13\00:34:44.34 has designed us with. 00:34:44.37\00:34:45.34 Good! Good! 00:34:45.35\00:34:46.50 Yeah, I was just looking their real quick in the 00:34:46.53\00:34:49.54 book and I noticed one of the chapters was on 00:34:49.57\00:34:50.94 cleansing in the temple. 00:34:50.97\00:34:51.99 And so it knocked on both items to cleanse its 00:34:52.02\00:34:54.58 spiritually and then work things out and then He's holding 00:34:54.61\00:34:58.01 us accountable for taking care of that temple physically. 00:34:58.04\00:35:01.61 It definitely plays, this is awesome. 00:35:01.64\00:35:04.05 Yeah, and cleansing temple is not only a physical 00:35:04.08\00:35:06.11 thing, because trauma affects you spirit, soul and body 00:35:06.14\00:35:08.82 And what cleansing that temple does, it allows you to 00:35:08.85\00:35:12.20 identify people who have hurt you, you write an anger letter, 00:35:12.23\00:35:14.45 do the anger work, and that thing pops out 3 dimensionally 00:35:14.48\00:35:17.21 and then not only are you heeling spiritually, 00:35:17.24\00:35:19.28 you are healing spirit, body, and soul all at one time. 00:35:19.31\00:35:21.00 And it is a beautiful thing I have seen people 00:35:21.03\00:35:22.73 with tremendous trauma do this process. 00:35:22.76\00:35:24.47 We have been doing that for almost 20 years. 00:35:24.50\00:35:26.27 And you're not talking about sending the letter, 00:35:26.30\00:35:28.28 you're saying just write it down on paper, 00:35:28.31\00:35:29.61 saying it out loud. 00:35:29.64\00:35:30.83 And hitting and yelling and screaming, yelling it out 00:35:30.86\00:35:33.70 of your body, because your body was there during the trauma. 00:35:33.74\00:35:34.94 and so your body has be part of releasing that. 00:35:34.97\00:35:36.75 See Jesus could have cleansed the temple by saying be gone. 00:35:36.78\00:35:39.79 He did it, He engaged His body physically and 00:35:40.77\00:35:44.12 verbally, and He kicked things around. 00:35:44.15\00:35:46.89 He was the carpenter before power tools. 00:35:46.92\00:35:48.57 If He hit you, it was going to hurt. 00:35:48.60\00:35:50.64 So everyone got out of there so He was showing us 00:35:50.67\00:35:54.06 how to cleanse our temple, because, 00:35:54.09\00:35:55.58 as Paul says you are that temple. 00:35:55.61\00:35:56.83 Some of our traumas affects the spirit, soul and body. 00:35:56.86\00:36:00.12 That is why a lot of people who overeat are 00:36:00.15\00:36:02.31 survivors of abuse of some kind, spiritual, emotional 00:36:02.34\00:36:07.03 or sexual abuse. 00:36:07.06\00:36:08.10 And most people don't even think of that is eating 00:36:08.13\00:36:12.15 disorder, that I'm trying to fill this void up and 00:36:12.18\00:36:14.95 you can't eat enough. 00:36:14.98\00:36:16.12 You can't eat enough and any kind of medication in 00:36:16.15\00:36:18.05 working, even over studying and know there's a 00:36:18.08\00:36:21.45 terminal student you know who's thinking 4 degrees. 00:36:21.48\00:36:25.25 It's like, well did you think about getting a job? 00:36:25.28\00:36:27.01 It's another way of avoiding type of thing. 00:36:27.04\00:36:30.63 So, I know there's more questions. 00:36:30.66\00:36:34.38 I just want to say in this whole process as you work 00:36:34.41\00:36:38.44 with people because I know you work with 00:36:38.47\00:36:39.75 people all over the world. 00:36:39.79\00:36:40.76 We have counseling centers and they talk on the telephone. 00:36:40.77\00:36:42.33 Is that it must just bring joy to your life to see 00:36:42.36\00:36:46.59 people just let go of things. 00:36:46.62\00:36:48.14 Oh absolutely, some people say Doug, 00:36:48.17\00:36:50.19 how can you do what you do? 00:36:50.22\00:36:51.64 Telephone counseling, we give 3 day intense with 00:36:51.67\00:36:54.16 couples and all this stuff and knock it down like, 00:36:54.19\00:36:56.97 how do you get down. 00:36:57.00\00:36:57.97 I feel like I'm the warden with the keys. 00:36:57.98\00:36:59.68 I'm just let people outdoors all day long so 00:36:59.71\00:37:02.61 how hard it is that? 00:37:02.64\00:37:03.61 They come out happier and their marriages are better. 00:37:03.62\00:37:05.50 When their marriages are better than their family 00:37:05.53\00:37:07.75 and kids life are better and in the kids have less 00:37:07.79\00:37:09.98 stuff, it's a wonderful thing. 00:37:10.01\00:37:11.32 We seen pastors restored. 00:37:11.35\00:37:12.92 Its beautiful so all of us, 00:37:12.95\00:37:14.93 and it's not just like, 00:37:14.96\00:37:16.15 people go to professionals talk in one-on-one, 00:37:16.18\00:37:18.90 but we're are all ministers of Jesus Christ. 00:37:18.93\00:37:20.80 And as we heal in an area He will release healing 00:37:20.83\00:37:23.61 through us, in that area, to other people. 00:37:23.64\00:37:25.02 So you have to asked yourself the question, 00:37:25.05\00:37:26.93 How much you do want to limit the healing of God in your life? 00:37:26.96\00:37:29.45 How much do want to let that other person stay in chains? 00:37:29.48\00:37:32.20 Because you get to be quiet and comfortable. 00:37:32.23\00:37:34.61 See, I don't get to be comfortable, 00:37:34.64\00:37:35.98 I've talked about my abandonment abuses and 00:37:36.01\00:37:38.43 neglect, I've talked about it for twenty years. 00:37:38.46\00:37:40.01 But in releasing that people have been set free. 00:37:40.04\00:37:44.34 You know you were kind of a talking off before the 00:37:44.37\00:37:47.20 show you went to a place and shared something and 00:37:47.23\00:37:49.73 an eighty three year old woman came up to you and 00:37:49.76\00:37:51.76 had permission to be authentic. 00:37:51.79\00:37:53.77 This is the season of the Spirit of God for authenticity. 00:37:53.80\00:37:58.18 So we aren't permitted maybe the generation 00:37:58.21\00:38:01.35 before were able to keep their secrets and keep 00:38:01.38\00:38:03.18 their skeletons and have funny hair. 00:38:03.21\00:38:05.07 But we're passed that point. 00:38:05.10\00:38:07.04 We're past that point, the Spirit of God is 00:38:07.07\00:38:09.68 authentically coming because He wants to 00:38:09.71\00:38:11.79 restore us to His heart. 00:38:11.82\00:38:13.05 And His heart is I absolutely love you, 00:38:13.08\00:38:15.25 Yes your flawed, that's not the point. 00:38:15.28\00:38:17.41 I love you, let Me come into that spot. 00:38:17.44\00:38:20.66 And I want to heal you. 00:38:20.70\00:38:21.72 Oh yes, totally. 00:38:21.76\00:38:22.75 Isaiah 57:18 where it talks about and know all 00:38:22.79\00:38:25.40 your junk and I want to heal you anyway. 00:38:25.43\00:38:26.96 And I love that, because we are in a place that 00:38:26.99\00:38:30.01 people so desperately want to get well. 00:38:30.04\00:38:31.78 We have people that call and e-mail on the show 00:38:31.81\00:38:35.08 and I am sure that we are going to get 00:38:35.11\00:38:36.66 tons from just this show. 00:38:36.69\00:38:38.06 It's just saying thank you for saying that out loud. 00:38:38.09\00:38:39.99 Thank you for saying it. 00:38:40.02\00:38:41.09 So I think what you are saying is that if you hold 00:38:41.12\00:38:44.45 your stuff and nobody has permission 00:38:44.48\00:38:46.30 to heal it around you. 00:38:46.33\00:38:47.30 It clogs up the whole body is kind of like you close 00:38:47.31\00:38:50.82 an artery of healing. 00:38:50.85\00:38:52.06 You see your wounds are places of entry point 00:38:52.09\00:38:54.43 where God's Spirit can flow 00:38:54.46\00:38:55.51 through to other people. 00:38:55.54\00:38:56.59 And you see we have the wrong 00:38:56.62\00:38:58.26 perspective of roundedness, 00:38:58.29\00:38:59.96 as if we've got protect it NO, let it out there. 00:38:59.99\00:39:02.83 You know, Paul said in my weaknesses, 00:39:02.86\00:39:04.33 He's made strong. 00:39:04.36\00:39:05.33 You want to a strong ministry on planet Earth, 00:39:05.34\00:39:07.41 it's at your weakest point. 00:39:07.44\00:39:09.62 That's huge! 00:39:09.65\00:39:11.40 My abuse, my abandonment my addictions, 00:39:11.43\00:39:14.42 weakest points that God has used to set men free, 00:39:14.45\00:39:18.04 women free, couples healed. 00:39:18.07\00:39:19.35 I love this stuff, some of us want to say no use my 00:39:19.38\00:39:22.16 smartness, listen I barely graduated out of high 00:39:22.19\00:39:24.36 school, but I got four degrees. 00:39:24.39\00:39:25.36 God is good, and it is His heart that all of us want 00:39:25.37\00:39:31.38 are to be a part of healing on this earth. 00:39:31.41\00:39:32.74 And what to do it on the show, what you are doing and 00:39:32.77\00:39:35.40 are a part of, you're letting this healing flow through you. 00:39:35.43\00:39:37.65 Yes, you are homeless, You were all this stuff and 00:39:37.68\00:39:40.48 women go, Oh my gosh you look so together, 00:39:40.51\00:39:42.54 how can you been so messed up. 00:39:42.57\00:39:43.54 And so there is hope for you. 00:39:43.55\00:39:44.99 There's hope for me. 00:39:45.02\00:39:46.09 And God is good. 00:39:46.12\00:39:47.91 He's very good. 00:39:47.94\00:39:49.04 And you know, we're going to ask, 00:39:49.07\00:39:50.95 I know there's more questions. 00:39:50.98\00:39:52.13 But I just want to say before going to turn over 00:39:52.16\00:39:54.12 to a question, is that I am surprised that God 00:39:54.15\00:39:57.12 saying that every time you give Me something, 00:39:57.15\00:39:59.41 every single time you get ride of something, 00:39:59.44\00:40:01.52 I will show you who I created you to be, 00:40:01.55\00:40:03.72 I will show you what is underneath all that. 00:40:03.75\00:40:05.37 And sometimes I stand, and I'm shocked. 00:40:05.40\00:40:08.39 I think that God that is good, 00:40:08.43\00:40:10.02 and He's like I know. 00:40:10.05\00:40:11.07 How fun is that! 00:40:11.10\00:40:12.90 So Mark, I know that you had something else that 00:40:12.93\00:40:16.65 you are wanting to ask him. 00:40:16.68\00:40:17.78 Yes, so my question kind of goes back we talked about. 00:40:17.81\00:40:20.78 Men are busy, people are busy. 00:40:20.81\00:40:22.14 You mentioned texting an all those things, 00:40:22.17\00:40:24.92 and we find ourselves in a season where people are 00:40:24.95\00:40:27.62 just being overwhelmed with things. 00:40:27.65\00:40:29.89 You had mentioned before in a response to a question working 00:40:29.92\00:40:33.66 on one thing at a time. 00:40:33.69\00:40:34.90 What advice, or how would you speak into somebody's 00:40:34.93\00:40:38.27 life who just had a bunch of things that are 00:40:38.30\00:40:40.29 overwhelming them and they can't get through the one 00:40:40.32\00:40:42.99 issue, because they have got so many other things 00:40:43.02\00:40:45.73 that are pulling at them and drawing at them. 00:40:45.76\00:40:48.55 Issues with family, issues with relationships, issues 00:40:48.58\00:40:51.26 with jobs and things like that. 00:40:51.29\00:40:52.47 How would you speak into that even 00:40:52.50\00:40:54.10 using that same process. 00:40:54.13\00:40:55.38 Your talking about how you eat an elephant. 00:40:55.41\00:40:57.59 One bite at a time. 00:40:57.62\00:41:01.30 And you really can't, sometimes people come to my office and 00:41:01.33\00:41:05.01 they've got all these issues, financial, relationships, kids, 00:41:05.04\00:41:07.77 they are a mess. 00:41:07.80\00:41:08.77 But there's addictions going on, 00:41:08.78\00:41:11.17 let's deal with this one right now and learn to be 00:41:11.20\00:41:15.67 successful, and then you can be successful in the other. 00:41:15.70\00:41:17.45 You didn't get in this problem, 00:41:17.48\00:41:18.99 these men, women, couples, they don't get in 00:41:19.02\00:41:21.06 this problem, Mark, in three days. 00:41:21.09\00:41:23.55 It's taken 20 years for some of them to create 00:41:23.58\00:41:25.43 the mess they're in. 00:41:25.46\00:41:26.43 And you can even say, you can even ask someone what 00:41:26.44\00:41:28.95 is the crisis that you had yesterday and kind of 00:41:28.98\00:41:32.03 narrow it down to almost a pattern, 00:41:32.06\00:41:33.94 almost immediately as far your life. 00:41:33.97\00:41:36.44 Crises, what's on your mind, what really hit you. 00:41:36.47\00:41:40.09 But often times, Mark is saying, these things people have a 00:41:40.12\00:41:42.46 pattern of a lifestyle and you can only address 00:41:42.49\00:41:44.51 one pattern at a time. 00:41:44.54\00:41:45.70 Like Monique was talking about being late, well Ok address that 00:41:45.73\00:41:48.53 Maybe the guy is cursing at his wife okay, address that. 00:41:48.56\00:41:51.21 Let's deal with it one at a time, because you 00:41:51.24\00:41:53.11 you are already spread out for me to say okay, we're 00:41:53.14\00:41:57.24 going to spread out with your problems isn't going to work. 00:41:57.27\00:41:59.11 I need to be focused anyway, 00:41:59.14\00:42:01.86 Do you know I'm saying? 00:42:01.89\00:42:03.71 Because if your focused, then you can start being successful. 00:42:03.74\00:42:06.12 You know Jesus was a very focused man, 00:42:06.15\00:42:08.58 and that is why He was successful. 00:42:08.61\00:42:10.36 He knew why He was here. 00:42:10.39\00:42:11.64 What He was to get done. 00:42:11.67\00:42:12.78 And He was about getting it done. 00:42:12.81\00:42:14.07 So if we only focus on the one problem we are going to be 00:42:14.10\00:42:16.57 much more successful than like if 00:42:16.60\00:42:18.24 we try to figure it all out at one time. 00:42:18.27\00:42:19.25 I'm glad Jesus didn't ask me to do more than I could. 00:42:19.28\00:42:22.83 With me He like dealt with me in layers. 00:42:22.86\00:42:25.40 There was times in Bible school, 00:42:25.43\00:42:29.58 where I could drink all the coffee I wanted, I literally 00:42:29.61\00:42:32.20 had bags of peanut M. and Mr. 's in my backpack at all times. 00:42:32.23\00:42:35.55 And then there were days when He said He I want you 00:42:35.58\00:42:37.78 I want you to give up caffeine and sugar. 00:42:37.82\00:42:39.04 Ouch! 00:42:39.07\00:42:40.05 I can point to the spot where I was from that point 00:42:40.09\00:42:43.58 for ten years I was off. 00:42:43.61\00:42:44.90 I haven't had caffeine, soft caffeine for almost 20 years. 00:42:44.94\00:42:47.70 But you see it was layers, 00:42:47.73\00:42:49.98 because I was using it to medicate. 00:42:50.01\00:42:51.68 It's fine for other people, 00:42:51.71\00:42:53.10 but it wasn't fine for me. 00:42:53.13\00:42:54.10 I can see how their accountability would, 00:42:54.11\00:42:55.73 help with getting rid of those things at a time 00:42:55.76\00:42:58.56 because some people don't know how to get rid of 00:42:58.59\00:43:01.08 things, they don't know how to address those things. 00:43:01.11\00:43:04.06 Some people don't know how to play football. 00:43:04.09\00:43:05.08 Yes, to get out there, give them the basics and do it. 00:43:05.11\00:43:06.79 Skills for life is what we're talking about. 00:43:06.82\00:43:10.06 There are skills that come with solving problems. 00:43:10.09\00:43:13.51 That's incredible to me every thing is bettering 00:43:13.54\00:43:18.04 yourself for learning. 00:43:18.07\00:43:19.05 It's not just these you are working on the process 00:43:19.08\00:43:22.20 of working on it improves you. 00:43:22.23\00:43:24.55 JoAnie we haven't gotten to your question yet. 00:43:24.58\00:43:27.75 Go ahead yeah, I have a question. 00:43:27.78\00:43:29.65 I do Myofascial release and I'm a massage therapist and 00:43:29.68\00:43:33.81 I can literally feel my client's body change. 00:43:33.84\00:43:38.84 They can tighten up they can not be talking at all. 00:43:39.30\00:43:40.88 I'll be working on them and suddenly 00:43:40.91\00:43:42.28 they'll just get real tight. 00:43:42.31\00:43:44.27 I'll say, what are you thinking. 00:43:44.30\00:43:45.29 Sometimes they know sometimes they don't I 00:43:45.32\00:43:48.65 don't know what I can tell them to help them be able 00:43:48.68\00:43:52.26 to walk out of my office softer than 00:43:52.29\00:43:56.55 when they came in. 00:43:56.58\00:43:57.55 I don't want them to leave the same way they came in. 00:43:57.56\00:43:58.90 Well, that is a great question because 00:43:58.93\00:44:01.85 in your profession. 00:44:01.88\00:44:03.31 We are triune, you know, just like the 00:44:03.34\00:44:06.51 Father-Son-Holy Spirit we are triune so when our soul 00:44:06.54\00:44:10.02 gets impacted and often times, 00:44:10.05\00:44:11.46 the body will hold it especially if it's been physical abuse. 00:44:11.49\00:44:13.95 Especially if it's been sexual abuse, you know I did 00:44:13.98\00:44:16.63 some training with inpatient facility and there was 00:44:16.66\00:44:19.67 a massage therapist there where she would work on 00:44:19.70\00:44:22.54 these ladies, and she would hit spots in their 00:44:22.57\00:44:24.25 bodies were they were hurt. 00:44:24.28\00:44:26.67 With the shoulders being pinned down, 00:44:26.70\00:44:28.89 or legs being held and the client would actually cry. 00:44:28.92\00:44:32.12 And actually release and you might have had 00:44:32.15\00:44:34.23 instances where you are touching somebody. 00:44:34.26\00:44:35.57 And they're actually crying, 00:44:35.60\00:44:36.57 and which are doing you are triggering her from 00:44:36.58\00:44:38.52 the body and your seeing that trauma actualize. 00:44:38.55\00:44:41.41 It's probably uncomfortable they start crying in your 00:44:41.44\00:44:45.14 office because you want them to feel good, 00:44:45.17\00:44:46.35 but it does help them to say hey. 00:44:46.38\00:44:48.04 Something happened here, you might want to go see 00:44:48.07\00:44:50.32 somebody because your body is holding something 00:44:50.35\00:44:53.43 here and find out what it is holding. 00:44:53.46\00:44:55.37 It that might help you and it helps you help them. 00:44:55.40\00:44:58.17 It's amazing what the body tells you, 00:44:58.20\00:45:00.86 you know that as your pulling, 00:45:00.89\00:45:02.61 pushing it's like wow what's going on with this. 00:45:02.64\00:45:04.77 Holds your pain here, you hold it there. 00:45:04.80\00:45:07.25 And we do hold stuff in our body. 00:45:07.28\00:45:09.40 That's where were talking about cleansing the temple. 00:45:09.43\00:45:11.14 Doing an anger work it's like a flush for emotional pain. 00:45:11.17\00:45:16.64 You know, we do these cleansings for body where 00:45:16.68\00:45:18.99 we try to detoxify. 00:45:19.02\00:45:20.84 Well to get a grip does is it detoxifies the soul part. 00:45:20.88\00:45:23.61 So the body doesn't hold it anymore. 00:45:23.64\00:45:25.91 And I can to you a story, this guy was a big old Texan. 00:45:25.94\00:45:29.18 He had a mom that was abusive to him emotionally 00:45:29.21\00:45:34.22 abusive, and he had all this rage 00:45:34.25\00:45:35.68 inside of him against her. 00:45:35.71\00:45:37.10 Now he is a Christian man. 00:45:37.13\00:45:38.95 But her time he goes home for Thanksgiving, 00:45:38.98\00:45:41.53 he balls up and becomes as real angry ball. 00:45:41.56\00:45:43.95 His whole family doesn't want to go there anymore. 00:45:43.98\00:45:45.60 So I did the cleansing temple he was probably in 00:45:45.63\00:45:47.69 there for 30 or 40 minutes. 00:45:47.72\00:45:48.79 He's yelling, he's hitting, 00:45:48.82\00:45:49.95 he's letting it out and then he did the 00:45:49.98\00:45:52.40 forgiveness exercise. 00:45:52.43\00:45:54.06 This was around Octoberish, 00:45:54.09\00:45:56.73 and he actually went home for Thanksgiving that year 00:45:56.76\00:45:58.82 and he came back and he realized on the way home 00:45:58.85\00:46:00.70 That he wasn't balled up anymore, that he wasn't in pain 00:46:00.73\00:46:05.28 when he was in the presence of his mom. 00:46:05.31\00:46:06.78 Because he was able to, JoAnie was able to release that 00:46:06.81\00:46:10.14 physically, he was able to release it emotionally as well. 00:46:10.17\00:46:11.89 It was really good for him. 00:46:11.92\00:46:13.25 It was like it cleansed him of that. 00:46:13.28\00:46:16.22 Exactly, so he doesn't have to go there ever again. 00:46:16.25\00:46:18.49 I mean he really doesn't. 00:46:18.52\00:46:19.49 He doesn't ball up in her presence. 00:46:19.50\00:46:20.92 There are people that I've seen come up and they want 00:46:20.95\00:46:25.16 healing, a prayer for healing, 00:46:25.19\00:46:27.00 I'm over weight and I want somehow get an control on that. 00:46:27.03\00:46:31.98 The Holy Spirit will say out loud to me they have 00:46:32.01\00:46:35.83 been sexually abused and if they get thinner they 00:46:35.86\00:46:37.46 get afraid, and they get close to that weight. 00:46:37.49\00:46:39.97 So talk about that for a little bit about that 00:46:40.01\00:46:42.42 how one thing is kind of tied to another sometimes. 00:46:42.45\00:46:44.46 Sometimes you have a trauma bond in the situation you 00:46:44.49\00:46:46.41 are in so like you are talking about the weight. 00:46:46.44\00:46:48.54 If a person gets down to the weight where they were 00:46:48.57\00:46:49.88 perpetrated, sometimes they will run from that weight. 00:46:49.91\00:46:53.02 They will panic. 00:46:53.05\00:46:54.02 They will run from the weight because they think 00:46:54.03\00:46:55.23 if I look good then people will hurt me. 00:46:55.26\00:46:57.11 Because you come up with irrational beliefs 00:46:57.14\00:46:58.64 to try to explain your trauma. 00:46:58.67\00:46:59.74 The only reason for trauma is total insanity. 00:46:59.77\00:47:01.77 There is no way that the victim can be responsible 00:47:01.80\00:47:03.97 for trauma, whether it is shooting, 00:47:04.00\00:47:05.40 beating or raping or sexual it doesn't matter. 00:47:05.43\00:47:07.59 But you try to come up with something 00:47:07.62\00:47:10.25 like if I am skinny I'll be hurt. 00:47:10.28\00:47:12.48 So let's eat again. 00:47:12.51\00:47:13.81 Some times I do prayer ministry in my church as well. 00:47:13.84\00:47:17.49 I'll stand up there, sometimes it's kind of 00:47:17.52\00:47:19.63 funny, really want prayer for blah blah blah and I 00:47:19.66\00:47:21.93 say okay I don't mind praying for you because God wants you 00:47:21.96\00:47:23.90 to pray for you, let me ask you, who are you going to 00:47:23.93\00:47:25.58 be accountable for the next 30 days? 00:47:25.61\00:47:26.81 Just shut up, do you tell them that. 00:47:26.84\00:47:28.91 Who are you going to be accountable to because 00:47:28.94\00:47:30.17 Scripture says you have to confess your faults 00:47:30.20\00:47:31.95 one to another so you are confessing to 00:47:31.98\00:47:33.00 me, but to stay healing you have to confess it for the next 00:47:33.04\00:47:35.13 30 days, who are you going to do that with, 00:47:35.17\00:47:36.52 then I will pray for you, give me their name 00:47:36.55\00:47:37.86 cause I know you will probably do it. 00:47:37.90\00:47:39.56 Then God can answer prayers because we are in the flow 00:47:39.59\00:47:42.84 of what He already said to do. 00:47:42.87\00:47:44.14 To stay in a state of healing, 00:47:44.17\00:47:46.28 you have to stay in a state of confession. 00:47:46.31\00:47:47.50 What's really powerful, let's talk about this. 00:47:47.53\00:47:49.77 When we confess our faults one to another, 00:47:49.80\00:47:51.48 not only can we be healed, but the prayers of a 00:47:51.51\00:47:53.84 righteous person availeth much. 00:47:53.87\00:47:55.84 When we stay in a state of humility, 00:47:55.87\00:47:58.74 confessing our faults, our prayers are heard and are 00:47:58.77\00:48:02.12 powerful on earth. 00:48:02.15\00:48:03.12 If we produce a fake lifestyle, 00:48:03.13\00:48:05.78 protect our pain, and are unauthentic in our 00:48:05.81\00:48:08.64 relationships our prayers are ineffective. 00:48:08.67\00:48:10.77 But we feel it too. 00:48:10.80\00:48:14.10 Our heart feels it. 00:48:14.13\00:48:15.88 It's like I feel my prayers go to the ceiling 00:48:15.91\00:48:17.76 and stop and you want to say you know what God 00:48:17.79\00:48:19.93 never intended that. 00:48:19.96\00:48:20.93 So then you have to say what sin are you not confessing. 00:48:20.94\00:48:23.57 What did you do that you haven't told anybody. 00:48:23.60\00:48:25.53 They look at me like how do you know? 00:48:25.56\00:48:27.89 It's simple, if your prayers are ineffective it 00:48:27.92\00:48:30.01 is because you have unconfessed sin. 00:48:30.04\00:48:31.35 But let me just say, you said. 00:48:31.38\00:48:34.15 Mark is over there nodding his head yeah I get this. 00:48:34.18\00:48:35.72 You said earlier which shocked me and I can't 00:48:35.75\00:48:39.68 wait until after the show, I can sit with this for awhile. 00:48:39.71\00:48:41.76 You said the sin of not confessing to one another 00:48:41.80\00:48:44.24 because the Bible commands that and so it's like 00:48:44.28\00:48:46.69 when we think of sin we think of 00:48:46.72\00:48:48.15 gambling or eating or sexual relationships or 00:48:48.18\00:48:52.60 whatever, but you are saying in the sin of not 00:48:52.63\00:48:54.00 being obedient to God in our healing and so 00:48:54.03\00:48:57.29 sometimes the sin may not be as obvious to you. 00:48:57.32\00:48:59.80 Since we have kind of broken away from the 00:48:59.83\00:49:03.26 Catholic theology, and really focused on 00:49:03.29\00:49:05.44 confession we throw the baby out with the bathwater. 00:49:05.47\00:49:07.29 Now evangelicals, we don't confess. 00:49:07.32\00:49:09.22 And so we are not effective either. 00:49:09.25\00:49:10.91 So sometimes what we are dealing with in our life 00:49:10.94\00:49:14.50 is an effectiveness of disobedience of confession. 00:49:14.53\00:49:17.93 We're going where out of time and I love having you 00:49:17.96\00:49:22.10 on the show and were going to have you on another 00:49:22.13\00:49:23.37 show up couple the season, which I am thrilled.

down. 00:49:31.42\00:49:33.54 I pray that you did and if you haven't written it 00:49:33.57\00:49:35.42 down, go to the website and definitely get the book. 00:49:35.45\00:49:38.18 It's huge, Get a Grip, start healing, start paying 00:49:38.21\00:49:42.78 attention to what is controlling you, what is 00:49:42.81\00:49:45.92 really messing you up. 00:49:45.95\00:49:47.09 We're going to go ahead and take a break, 00:49:47.12\00:49:48.82 will be right back. 00:49:48.85\00:49:49.82 Stay with us, and I'm so glad that I had Doug on show 00:49:49.83\00:49:53.38 so you could hear all this stuff.
