Welcome back, I loved
listening to you guys.
00:00:14.54\00:00:17.58
I could listen to you all
day, but I want to cover the
00:00:17.61\00:00:20.71
fact that you stop
drinking, that you got into AA,
00:00:20.75\00:00:23.77
and done a lot of recovery
but it was still miserable until
00:00:23.81\00:00:26.83
you decided to allow God
to bring healing into your
00:00:26.87\00:00:30.38
lives, so I want to talk.
00:00:30.41\00:00:32.21
Have you talked first
Jason, to any men that are
00:00:32.25\00:00:35.54
watching, what the value
is of doing the rest of the
00:00:35.57\00:00:38.50
work so you can find
freedom and then I would like
00:00:38.53\00:00:41.42
you to talk to the women?
00:00:41.45\00:00:42.57
I would say the most important
thing is as I got to the
00:00:42.60\00:00:46.16
inventory and getting rid of
the meat and potatoes basically.
00:00:46.19\00:00:49.27
I am getting rid of
stuff, it is the top layer.
00:00:49.31\00:00:51.30
But then suddenly I realized
that there are still things
00:00:51.33\00:00:56.03
in there that were never
looked or were addressed.
00:00:56.07\00:00:59.03
I got free, I was able to
get free and down to the deeper
00:00:59.07\00:01:04.32
roots and share those
things, and with my wife.
00:01:04.36\00:01:07.47
To allow her to see who I
am and what is basically who
00:01:07.50\00:01:12.78
I really truly am in God's eyes.
00:01:12.81\00:01:16.80
Not what just the average
Joe, or the guy out there
00:01:16.84\00:01:21.48
to see, but what
truly is my makeup.
00:01:21.52\00:01:27.04
During that time did you
hear God, through the Holy
00:01:27.08\00:01:29.25
Spirit say, you know what
Jason, you are good enough!
00:01:29.29\00:01:33.09
I got a you're a good enough
and I love you for who you
00:01:33.12\00:01:36.89
are, and it was
okay, I was forgiven.
00:01:36.93\00:01:40.87
- isn't that huge? And
all those things you thought
00:01:40.90\00:01:43.86
you would never get, I
think we walk into recovery and
00:01:43.90\00:01:46.38
we try to do the right
thing, to look the right thing,
00:01:46.42\00:01:48.87
but we know we're
never going to get that.
00:01:48.91\00:01:50.49
But God says, all you'll
get it, and you will get it
00:01:50.53\00:01:53.22
right here and right
now and you are free.
00:01:53.25\00:01:55.01
Is there
anything to add to that?
00:01:55.05\00:01:57.82
Yeah, I'm when I renounced
my moral failures because
00:01:57.85\00:02:03.67
my life had been
all full of failures.
00:02:03.71\00:02:06.11
I got rid of that pain
and that bitterness, I got led
00:02:06.14\00:02:09.42
into prayer and I got to bathe
in this pool in my minds eye,
00:02:09.46\00:02:17.02
I got to bathe in
this pool and Jesus was
00:02:17.06\00:02:19.65
sitting next to me.
00:02:19.69\00:02:20.79
I got to bathe in this pool
and got to the clean for the
00:02:20.82\00:02:23.57
first time in my
life, I felt clean.
00:02:23.61\00:02:26.03
It was the first time, and
I'm 25 years old, and I have
00:02:26.07\00:02:30.60
never felt clean before,
but I finally feel clean.
00:02:30.63\00:02:33.70
You know when we look at
recovery, a lot people think
00:02:33.74\00:02:37.77
about recovery as I just
don't want to drink, I just
00:02:37.81\00:02:40.75
don't want to use, or
don't want to be online porn,
00:02:40.78\00:02:43.27
or don't want to be
spending my money gambling,
00:02:43.31\00:02:45.76
or workaholic, or whatever.
00:02:45.80\00:02:47.53
But God says
that is not freedom.
00:02:47.57\00:02:49.39
Freedom is to find out what
the very core of who you are
00:02:49.43\00:02:52.80
what has got you all twisted
up and to allow God through
00:02:52.83\00:02:56.17
His love, through
the Holy Spirit just say,
00:02:56.21\00:02:59.13
I want you free.
00:02:59.16\00:03:00.33
I want you clean, I
want you to understand
00:03:00.37\00:03:02.72
how much you are loved.
00:03:02.76\00:03:04.66
When you get that you walk
out and you spiritually are
00:03:04.70\00:03:08.09
on a high that is unbelievable.
00:03:08.12\00:03:10.84
So if you haven't tried
that, get on your knees and ask
00:03:10.88\00:03:13.51
God to free you up.
00:03:13.54\00:03:15.05
Until next week always
remember that God is crazy about
00:03:15.09\00:03:17.57
you and me too.
00:03:17.61\00:03:19.05
