BRUNSWICK SCORED HIGHEST
WITH A 78.6 OUT OF 100 AS
00:00:14.06\00:00:19.83

MONEY DOESN'T HAVE MUCH TO DO
00:01:08.23\00:01:09.26
WITH HAPPINESS AT ALL,
AS THE WESTERN CANADIAN
00:01:09.26\00:01:13.43

QUEBEC COMMUNICATIONS
CONSULTANT PIERRE COTÉ
00:01:18.66\00:01:23.60
DESIGNED THE SURVEY
AFTER BEING FRUSTRATED BY
00:01:23.60\00:01:24.56
THE EMPHASIS ON MONEY
IN CANADIAN POLITICS. HE
00:01:24.56\00:01:28.90
SAYS MONEY DOESN'T
MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY, BUT ONLY
00:01:28.90\00:01:33.30
CONTRIBUTES TO
CONTENTMENT. COTÉ SUGGESTS
00:01:33.30\00:01:34.26
NOVA SCOTIA'S LOWER
SCORE MAY BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE
00:01:34.26\00:01:39.43
PERVASIVE BELIEF
AMONG RESPONDENTS THAT THEIR
00:01:39.43\00:01:42.36
LIVES WERE BETTER 50
YEARS AGO THAN THEY ARE TODAY.
00:01:42.36\00:01:43.50
BUT IN NEW BRUNSWICK,
HE SAYS RESPONDENTS RATED
00:01:43.50\00:01:46.86
SPIRITUALITY HIGHER
THAN ANYONE ELSE ACROSS THE
00:01:46.86\00:01:53.26
COUNTRY, AND SEEMED
MOST CONTENT WITH THEIR LIVES
00:01:53.26\00:01:54.23
IN THE PRESENT. "NEW
BRUNSWICKERS ARE MUCH MORE
00:01:54.23\00:01:59.93
OPEN, ENJOYING THEIR
LIFE THE WAY IT IS. THEY LIKE
00:01:59.93\00:02:05.03
WHAT THEY HAVE,"
COTE SAID. NEW BRUNSWICK'S
00:02:05.03\00:02:06.00
GENERAL CONTENTMENT IS A
PARADOX, HE SAYS, BECAUSE
00:02:06.00\00:02:11.03
THE PROVINCE HAS ONE
OF THE WORST-PERFORMING
00:02:11.03\00:02:13.53
ECONOMIES IN THE
COUNTRY AND ONE OF THE LOWEST
00:02:13.53\00:02:14.50
PROPORTIONS OF
PEOPLE EARNING VERY
00:02:14.50\00:02:18.03
HIGH INCOMES. ABRAHAM
LINCOLN ONCE COMMENTED:
00:02:18.03\00:02:22.06
THE PRIMARY MEANING OF
THE WORD "HAPPINESS" IN MOST
00:02:29.46\00:02:30.50
EUROPEAN LANGUAGES
SEEMS TO INVOLVE THE NOTION
00:02:30.50\00:02:34.66
OF GOOD FORTUNE OR
GOOD CHANCE. BUT FROM VERY
00:02:34.66\00:02:39.60
EARLY AGE IN GREEK
PHILOSOPHY THIS CONCEPT
00:02:39.60\00:02:40.53
BECAME THE FOCUS OF
MUCH SPECULATION AND DISPUTE.
00:02:40.53\00:02:49.33
WHAT IS HAPPINESS?
00:02:51.26\00:02:51.70
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES AND
CONDITIONS OF HAPPINESS?
00:02:51.70\00:02:56.40
THESE ARE THE
QUESTIONS THAT HAVE OCCUPIED
00:02:56.40\00:02:57.33
THE VARIOUS SCHOOLS
OF PHILOSOPHY BECAUSE
00:02:57.33\00:03:00.23
HAPPINESS IS A MOST
PROFOUNDLY INTERESTING
00:03:00.23\00:03:04.46
SUBJECT FOR ALL OF US.
FOR THE GREEKS HAPPINESS WAS
00:03:04.46\00:03:05.50
UNDERSTOOD TO BE A GIFT
FROM THE GODS - ARISTOTLE
00:03:05.50\00:03:09.96
TAUGHT THAT
HAPPINESS COMES IN A LIFE OF
00:03:09.96\00:03:13.40
SPECULATION AND IN
UNDERSTANDING AND WISDOM.
00:03:13.40\00:03:14.33
ONLY THE FEW HE
CLAIMED, COULD ATTAIN IT, THE
00:03:14.33\00:03:19.36
MAJORITY HAD TO CONTENT
THEMSELVES WITH INFERIOR
00:03:19.36\00:03:22.86
HAPPINESS. ST.
THOMAS TAUGHT THAT PERFECT
00:03:22.86\00:03:23.80
HAPPINESS IS THE
SUPREME SUBJECTIVE END OF MAN,
00:03:23.80\00:03:28.76
AND IS THEREFORE OPEN
TO ALL MEN, BUT IT WAS NOT
00:03:28.76\00:03:34.16
ATTAINABLE IN THIS LIFE.
00:03:34.16\00:03:34.66
IN JUDAISM EACH OF THE
FOUR MAIN RELIGIOUS GROUPS
00:03:34.66\00:03:39.36
HAD THEIR OWN
DEFINITIONS OF HAPPINESS. THE
00:03:39.36\00:03:40.26
PHARISEES BELIEVED
THAT HAPPINESS WAS FOUND IN
00:03:40.26\00:03:44.03
TRADITION AND LEGALISM.
00:03:44.03\00:03:44.53
THE SADDUCEES BELIEVED
HAPPINESS WAS FOUND IN THE
00:03:44.53\00:03:48.43
PRESENT, IN MODERNISM
AND LIBERALISM. THE ESSENES
00:03:48.43\00:03:53.10
SAID NO, HAPPINESS IS IN
SEPARATION FROM THE WORLD
00:03:53.10\00:03:54.20
- THEY WERE TALKING
ABOUT LITERAL, GEOGRAPHICAL
00:03:54.20\00:03:59.16
SEPARATION. THE ZEALOTS
SAID HAPPINESS IS FOUND IN
00:03:59.16\00:04:03.73
THE POLITICAL
OVERTHROW, HAPPINESS IS FOUND IN
00:04:03.73\00:04:04.70
REVELATION. THEY
ALL HAD THEIR OWN LITTLE
00:04:04.70\00:04:11.86
THING GOING AND INTO THIS
CONTEXT JESUS COMES AND HE
00:04:11.86\00:04:16.90
PREACHES HIS FIRST
SERMON EVER RECORDED AND IN
00:04:16.90\00:04:17.86
ESSENCE HE TELLS
THEM THEY ARE ALL WRONG.
00:04:17.86\00:04:26.43
THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT
IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST
00:04:28.43\00:04:29.60
KNOW QUOTED PORTIONS
OF SCRIPTURE. IT TAKES
00:04:29.60\00:04:33.26
CHAPTER 5, 6 AND 7 OF
MATTHEW'S GOSPEL. IT IS
00:04:33.26\00:04:38.00
ONE SERMON DELIVERED BY
JESUS AND WE ARE GOING TO
00:04:38.00\00:04:39.03
TAKE SOME TIME OVER
THE NEXT FEW WEEKS TO STUDY
00:04:39.03\00:04:43.40
THESE REVOLUTIONARY
TRUTHS - THESE TRUTHS THAT HIT
00:04:43.40\00:04:47.66
THE AUDIENCE LIKE A
BOMB EXPLODING ON THEIR MINDS
00:04:47.66\00:04:48.63
AND THEY LISTEN TO HIM.
00:04:48.63\00:04:53.40
LET ME START THIS
DISCUSSION WITH THE
00:04:53.40\00:04:54.20
FOLLOWING PHRASE:
"JESUS IS IN THE BUSINESS OF
00:04:54.20\00:04:58.76
PROVIDING PEOPLE
WITH HAPPINESS." SADLY NOT
00:04:58.76\00:05:03.50
EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS OR
BELIEVES THAT. BUT JESUS
00:05:03.50\00:05:04.50
IS IN THE HAPPINESS
BUSINESS. HAPPINESS IS HIS
00:05:04.50\00:05:09.43
CONCERN. EVIDENCE OF
THIS IS THE FACT THAT HERE IN
00:05:09.43\00:05:13.56
THE FIRST SERMON EVER
RECORDED AS HAVING BEEN
00:05:13.56\00:05:14.56
PREACHED BY JESUS IT
BEGINS WITH THE CONSTANT
00:05:14.56\00:05:19.26
THEME OF HAPPINESS. YOU
WILL NOTICE IT IN VERSE 1
00:05:19.26\00:05:24.73
AND THEN YOU WILL SEE
"BLESSED" USED NINE TIMES.
00:05:24.73\00:05:25.76
NOW, THE WORD
"BLESSED" SIMPLY MEANS HAPPY
00:05:25.76\00:05:31.00
OR HAPPINESS: MATTHEW 5: 1 - 12
00:05:31.00\00:05:40.40
NINE TIMES WE SEE THE
WORD "BLESSED". NOW THIS IS
00:06:53.03\00:06:54.06
ONLY THE INTRODUCTION TO
THE SERMON. HAVING STATED
00:06:54.06\00:06:59.93
THAT THE BASIC GOAL OF
HIS TEACHING IS TO BRING TRUE
00:06:59.93\00:07:03.50
HAPPINESS - REAL JOY,
GENUINE REWARD, HE THEN
00:07:03.50\00:07:04.50
MOVES ON TO TALK
ABOUT HOW IT IS THAT BECOMES
00:07:04.50\00:07:09.83
POSSIBLE. WHAT KIND OF
LIFESTYLE PRODUCES THIS
00:07:09.83\00:07:14.56
KIND OF HAPPINESS - THAT
BECOMES THE RUNNING THEME
00:07:14.56\00:07:15.66
THROUGH CHAPTER 5, 6 AND 7.
00:07:15.66\00:07:22.36
IN THIS PROGRAM I WANT
TO LAY SOME GROUND WORK AND
00:07:23.86\00:07:24.86
THEN WE WILL OVER THE
NEXT NUMBER OF PROGRAMS REALLY
00:07:24.86\00:07:29.06
DIG INTO THE INCREDIBLE
TRUTHS THAT ARE HERE. LET
00:07:29.06\00:07:32.50
ME START WITH A BIT OF A
BACKDROP, A LITTLE BIT OF
00:07:32.50\00:07:33.50
BACKGROUND. AS YOU LOOK
AT THE BEATITUDES - AT THIS
00:07:33.50\00:07:38.46
SERMON IT SEEMS THAT
THE MESSAGE IS SOMEWHAT
00:07:38.46\00:07:42.50
'PARADOXICAL'. WHAT
JESUS IS TEACHING DOES NOT
00:07:42.50\00:07:43.46
REALLY FIT WITH WHAT
MOST PEOPLE WOULD HAVE
00:07:43.46\00:07:50.60
ANTICIPATED. YOU SEE
HAPPINESS, AS MATTHEW
00:07:50.60\00:07:54.50
PRESENTS THE WORDS OF
JESUS, IS NOT EXACTLY THE
00:07:54.50\00:07:55.50
WAY THE WORLD WOULD DO IT.
00:07:55.50\00:08:00.43
THERE IS A PARADOX HERE
BECAUSE ALL THE WAY DOWN
00:08:00.43\00:08:01.43
HAPPINESS SEEMS TO
BE CONNECTED WITH MISERY
00:08:01.43\00:08:05.96
- HOW CAN MISERY BE THE
KEY TO HAPPINESS? TO MANY
00:08:05.96\00:08:13.10
PEOPLE THIS SEEMS
ABSOLUTELY ABSURD.
00:08:13.10\00:08:18.23
WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF
BOOKS WRITTEN ON HAPPINESS AND
00:08:20.13\00:08:21.16
THEY ALL SEEM TO HAVE
THIS IN COMMON - HAPPINESS IS
00:08:21.16\00:08:27.53
THE GO-GETTER, HAPPINESS
IS DOING YOUR OWN THING -
00:08:27.53\00:08:29.30
HAPPINESS IS ACQUIRING
ALL THE THINGS THE WORLD HAS
00:08:29.30\00:08:30.33
TO OFFER. HAPPY ARE
THE RICH AND HAPPY ARE THE
00:08:30.33\00:08:33.53
NOBLE AND HAPPY ARE THE
FAMOUS AND HAPPY ARE THE
00:08:33.53\00:08:37.13
POPULAR. BUT THIS
MESSAGE OF JESUS DOES NOT SEEM
00:08:37.13\00:08:38.13
TO FIT THAT PICTURE.
THIS SERMON DEVASTATES WORLDLY
00:08:38.13\00:08:43.96
ATTITUDES - EVEN THE
ATTITUDES OF THE FIRST
00:08:43.96\00:08:48.40
CENTURY AUDIENCE. SENECA
THE ROMAN PHILOSOPHER SAID
00:08:48.40\00:08:49.53
THIS IN THE FIRST CENTURY:
00:08:49.53\00:08:54.33
WHAT HE IS SAYING IS
THAT ANY FOOL KNOWS YOU CANNOT
00:09:03.23\00:09:04.26
FILL THE EMPTINESS IN
YOUR SOUL WITH EXTERNAL THINGS.
00:09:04.26\00:09:07.70
YOU CANNOT MEET A
RATIONAL NEED WITH AN IRRATIONAL
00:09:07.70\00:09:13.66
OBJECT. THAT IS WHAT
THE WORLD TRIES TO DO. THINK
00:09:13.66\00:09:14.63
ABOUT SOLOMON. SOLOMON
WAS THE MOST MAGNIFICENT
00:09:14.63\00:09:21.76
KING THAT EVER LIVED.
IF ANYBODY SHOULD HAVE BEEN
00:09:21.76\00:09:25.70
HAPPY, ACCORDING TO
THE WORLD'S STANDARD, HE
00:09:25.70\00:09:26.63
SHOULD. HE HAD NOBILITY,
HIS PALACE WAS THE PARAGON
00:09:26.63\00:09:32.63
OF THE EARTH. HIS
WEALTH WAS SO IMMEASURABLE AND
00:09:32.63\00:09:34.93
HIS TREASURE SO VAST
THAT THE OLD TESTAMENT SAYS
00:09:34.93\00:09:35.93
THAT SILVER WAS A
COMMON AS ROCKS. HE HAD THE
00:09:35.93\00:09:39.10
BUILDINGS AND THE SERVANTS
AND THE VINEYARDS AND THE
00:09:39.10\00:09:45.33
WOMEN BY THE HUNDREDS,
HIS INTELLIGENCE? HE WAS THE
00:09:45.33\00:09:46.36
MOST INTELLIGENT MAN
THAT EVER LIVED. HE HAD IT ALL
00:09:46.36\00:09:50.30
- HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN
INFINITELY HAPPY MAN, BUT
00:09:50.30\00:09:56.10
ALL HE HAD TO SAY ABOUT
IT WAS THIS: "VANITY, VANITY
00:09:56.10\00:09:57.16
ALL IS VANITY" YOU CANNOT
FILL A SPIRITUAL NEED WITH
00:09:57.16\00:10:05.00
A PHYSICAL SUBSTANCE - IT
CANNOT BE DONE. BUT PEOPLE
00:10:05.00\00:10:10.70
TRY TO DO IT. YOU
CANNOT DO THE OPPOSITE EITHER
00:10:10.70\00:10:11.66
WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY YOU
DO NOT WANT A LECTURE ON
00:10:11.66\00:10:17.53
GRACE YOU WANT FOOD.
WHEN YOU ARE OUT IN A DESERT
00:10:17.53\00:10:22.83
AND DYING OF THIRST YOU
DO NOT WANT SOMEONE TO TALK
00:10:22.83\00:10:24.00
TO YOU ABOUT THE MERCY
OF GOD, YOU WANT WATER. YOU
00:10:24.00\00:10:27.86
CANNOT FILL A
PHYSICAL NEED WITH SPIRITUAL
00:10:27.86\00:10:32.96
SUBSTANCE AND IT IS JUST
AS RIDICULOUS TO THINK YOU
00:10:32.96\00:10:34.00
CAN MEET A SPIRITUAL
NEED WITH PHYSICAL SUBSTANCE.
00:10:34.00\00:10:39.93
THOMAS WATSON,
THE PURITAN WROTE:
00:10:39.93\00:10:45.16
PROVERBS 23: 5 SAYS:
00:11:34.93\00:11:36.50
ECCLESIASTES 5: 13
00:11:37.36\00:11:38.46
DID YOU GET THAT?
RICHES HOARDED TO THE HARM OF
00:11:38.90\00:11:40.00
ITS OWNERS! THERE IS
NO SATISFACTION IN WHAT
00:11:40.00\00:11:41.43
THE WORLD OFFERS AND
WHEN JESUS CAME INTO THE WORLD
00:11:41.43\00:11:46.66
HE WAS NOT OFFERING WORLD STUFF.
00:11:46.66\00:11:52.30
NOW THERE ARE SOME WHO
CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS
00:11:54.10\00:11:55.13
THAT ARE OFFERING WORLD
STUFF. THEY ARE OFFERING
00:11:55.13\00:11:59.03
FINANCIAL PROSPERITY,
MONEY, SUCCESS BUT JESUS
00:11:59.03\00:12:03.53
NEVER OFFERED THAT.
THAT IS NOWHERE IN THE SERMON
00:12:03.53\00:12:04.50
ON THE MOUNT. IT IS
THE OPPOSITE THAT IS HERE.
00:12:04.50\00:12:11.03
WHAT JESUS IS SAYING
IN THIS MARVELOUS AND
00:12:11.03\00:12:15.43
INCOMPARABLE SERMON IN
THESE BEATITUDES IS SIMPLY
00:12:15.43\00:12:16.46
THIS, YOU WILL NEVER
FIND HAPPINESS IN THIS WORLD,
00:12:16.46\00:12:22.16
NEVER. JOHN PUT IT
THIS WAY, "DO NOT LOVE THE
00:12:22.16\00:12:28.40
WORLD NOR THE THINGS
IN THE WORLD." THERE IS
00:12:28.40\00:12:29.36
NO SATISFACTION
THERE, HAPPINESS IS NOT HERE,
00:12:29.36\00:12:33.50
BLESSEDNESS IS ON
ANOTHER LEVEL. AND THE SERMON ON
00:12:33.50\00:12:40.00
THE MOUNT IS GOING TO
TAKE US TO THAT LEVEL.
00:12:40.00\00:12:40.96
IT 'S GOING TO
COUNTER EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON
00:12:40.96\00:12:43.70
TELEVISION, IT IS GOING
TO COUNTER EVERYTHING YOU
00:12:43.70\00:12:47.40
READ IN MAGAZINES. TOTALLY
OPPOSITE OF WHAT THE WORLD
00:12:47.40\00:12:48.50
TELLS YOU. LOOK AT
VERSE 1 OF MATTHEW 5:
00:12:48.50\00:12:53.80
(MATTHEW 5: 1)
00:12:53.80\00:12:56.63
LET'S STOP THERE.
00:13:04.00\00:13:04.40
JESUS ALWAYS CARED FOR
THE CROWDS. IT SAYS IN MATTHEW
00:13:04.40\00:13:07.90
9: 36, MATTHEW 14: 14,
AND MATTHEW 15: 32 THAT WHEN
00:13:07.90\00:13:08.93
HE SAW THE CROWDS HE HAD
COMPASSION ON THEM. JESUS
00:13:08.93\00:13:14.80
SAW THE CROWDS
DESCRIBED IN MATTHEW 4: 23 - 25:
00:13:14.80\00:13:24.43
HERE IS THIS MASS
OF HUMANITY COMING FROM
00:14:00.96\00:14:01.86
NORTH, SOUTH, EAST
AND WEST FOLLOWING HIM
00:14:01.86\00:14:07.86
AND WHEN HE SEES THEM
AS ALWAYS HIS HEART IS
00:14:07.86\00:14:14.96
BROKEN. WHEN HE SAW
THEIR HUNGER HE GAVE THEM FOOD.
00:14:14.96\00:14:16.00
AND WHEN HE SEES THE
SPIRITUAL HUNGER OF THEIR
00:14:16.00\00:14:17.33
HEARTS HE REACHES OUT AND
GIVES THEM WHAT THEY NEED.
00:14:17.33\00:14:22.90
THERE WAS A
WONDERFUL ATTRACTION TO JESUS.
00:14:22.90\00:14:23.83
CROWDS JUST SURGED AFTER
HIM. ALL SORTS OF PEOPLE,
00:14:23.83\00:14:30.10
IN FACT, NOT THE NICEST
BUNCH OF PEOPLE YOU HAVE
00:14:30.10\00:14:34.50
EVER MET. SICK,
DEMON POSSESSED, PHARISEES,
00:14:34.50\00:14:35.46
SADDUCEES, ESSENES,
ZEALOTS, PUBLICANS AND
00:14:35.46\00:14:38.83
HARLOTS, SCHOLARS AND
ILLITERATES, REFINED AND
00:14:38.83\00:14:42.10
DEGRADED, RICH MEN AND
BEGGARS ALL SEARCHING FOR
00:14:42.10\00:14:43.20
THE SAME THING, HAPPINESS.
00:14:43.20\00:14:50.90
YOU SEE HUMAN BEINGS
WERE CREATED WITH A COMPELLING
00:14:50.90\00:14:52.03
DRIVE TO BE HAPPY. WE ALL
HAVE THINGS WE THINK WOULD
00:14:52.03\00:14:56.80
BRING HAPPINESS. "IF ONLY
THIS WOULD HAPPEN. IF ONLY
00:14:56.80\00:15:01.93
THAT WOULD CHANGE, IF
ONLY I HAD THIS. IF ONLY!"
00:15:01.93\00:15:03.06
SOMETIMES THE WORST
THING THAT HAPPENS TO A PERSON
00:15:03.06\00:15:08.26
IS FOR HIM OR HER TO
GET THEIR "IF ONLY", ONLY TO
00:15:08.26\00:15:15.46
DISCOVER THAT EVEN
THEN, HAPPINESS ELUDES THEM.
00:15:15.46\00:15:16.43
THOSE THINGS IN THE
WORLD THAT PROMISE HAPPINESS
00:15:16.43\00:15:23.00
ONLY MEET THE OUTSIDE
EDGES OF THE NEED. INSTEAD
00:15:23.00\00:15:27.90
OF HAVING THE NEED MET
AND FULFILLED, THE NEED
00:15:27.90\00:15:28.90
BECOMES OVERPOWERING
AND COMPELLING. INSTEAD OF
00:15:28.90\00:15:34.30
BEING FROM THAT NEED
BY HAVING IT ETERNALLY
00:15:34.30\00:15:41.20
SATISFIED, WE INSTEAD
BECOME ENSLAVED TO THAT
00:15:41.20\00:15:42.20
NEED BECAUSE IT
IS FOREVER UNMET.
00:15:42.20\00:15:49.83
WHEN WE LOOK FOR HAPPINESS
OUTSIDE OF GOD, EXTERNAL
00:15:50.66\00:15:51.83
CIRCUMSTANCES BECOME THE
FOCUS. GOD WANTS TO BRING
00:15:51.83\00:15:55.36
SUCH HAPPINESS TO YOUR
INNERMOST BEING THAT YOU
00:15:55.36\00:16:01.06
WILL BE FREE FROM THE
FEAR AND THE EMPTINESS THAT
00:16:01.06\00:16:02.10
KEEPS YOU FOCUSED ON
THE EXTERNALS. OUR DESIRE
00:16:02.10\00:16:06.53
FOR HAPPINESS IS MEANT
TO AWAKEN OUR DESIRE FOR GOD
00:16:06.53\00:16:13.43
AND HIS KINGDOM. GOD
WANTS YOU HAPPY! "HE DELIGHTS
00:16:13.43\00:16:14.50
IN THE WELL-BEING OF
HIS SERVANT" (PSALM 35:27).
00:16:14.50\00:16:19.20
HIS ANOINTING IS AN
ANOINTING WITH "THE OIL OF
00:16:19.20\00:16:23.26
JOY" (PSALM 45:7) HE
ALONE KNOWS THE KEY TO
00:16:23.26\00:16:24.20
YOUR HAPPINESS. HE
ALONE CREATED IN US THAT DRIVE
00:16:24.20\00:16:31.16
TO FIND HAPPINESS. HE
CREATED US SO THAT OUR
00:16:31.16\00:16:37.23
DESIRE TO BE HAPPY
SURPASSES ALL OTHER
00:16:37.23\00:16:38.06
NEEDS. PEOPLE WILL
FORFEIT ANYTHING THEY HAVE IF
00:16:38.06\00:16:45.53
THEY ARE CONVINCED
THAT HAPPINESS WILL FOLLOW.
00:16:45.53\00:16:50.70
GOD CREATED US THIS WAY
BECAUSE HE INTENDS IT TO
00:16:50.70\00:16:51.70
BE HIS OPENING INTO
YOUR LIFE. YOUR DESIRE TO BE
00:16:51.70\00:16:59.53
HAPPY IS THE CATALYST
THAT OPENS YOUR LIFE TO HIM.
00:16:59.53\00:17:06.13
THIS VERY NEED DRIVES
YOU TO HIM. REFLECT ON THESE
00:17:06.13\00:17:07.13
PASSAGES THAT SPEAK OF
THE ETERNAL MESSAGE FROM
00:17:07.13\00:17:14.36
GOD'S HEART TO HIS PEOPLE:
00:17:14.36\00:17:17.36
BLESSED, BLESSED, BLESSED,
BLESSED. WHAT A TREMENDOUS
00:17:59.76\00:18:00.93
LESSON. WHAT HE HAS TO
SAY TO US HERE IS PROFOUND.
00:18:00.93\00:18:09.00
LIFE CHANGING. I BELIEVE
WE WILL BE DIFFERENT WHEN
00:18:09.00\00:18:14.80
WE GET THROUGH THIS.
00:18:14.80\00:18:15.26
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU
CAN STUDY THE SERMON ON THE
00:18:15.26\00:18:18.00
MOUNT AND BE THE SAME. I
CAN'T. GOD'S ALREADY BEEN
00:18:18.00\00:18:19.00
DOING THINGS IN MY HEART.
00:18:19.00\00:18:23.86
LET'S COMMIT OURSELVES
TO BE THE KIND OF PEOPLE
00:18:23.86\00:18:24.83
GOD WANTS US TO BE.
00:18:24.83\00:18:33.56
REMEMBERING THIS, THAT
WE HAVE THE CAPACITY IF WE
00:18:33.56\00:18:34.60
KNOW THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST TO SEE THIS A REALITY IN
00:18:34.60\00:18:40.90
OUR LIVES TO HIS
GLORY AND OUR BLESSEDNESS.
00:18:40.90\00:18:51.00
I'M ONLY HUMAN;

I'M JUST A WOMAN
00:18:57.10\00:19:01.50
HELP ME TO BE ALL I

ONE DAY AT A TIME SWEET JESUS
00:19:31.26\00:19:36.33

WELL JESUS YOU KNOW

00:20:24.53\00:20:25.50

CHEATING AND
STEALING, VIOLENCE AND CRIME
00:20:34.33\00:20:43.53

STUDYING THIS MARVELOUS TRUTH.
00:21:56.56\00:21:57.60
WE THANK YOU, OUR LORD

>>BEV: HI, EVERYONE!
00:22:56.50\00:22:56.96
TODAY, I'VE GOT MY APRON
ON, SO LET'S GET COOKING!
00:22:56.96\00:23:00.10
ACTUALLY, NOT REALLY
COOKING; WE'RE JUST USING
00:23:00.10\00:23:01.06
THE BLENDER TODAY TO
MAKE SOME DELICIOUS AND VERY
00:23:01.06\00:23:05.36
NUTRITIOUS SMOOTHIES AND
SHAKES. I PREFER SMOOTHIES
00:23:05.36\00:23:09.53
TO JUICING BECAUSE NOTHING
IS LOST WHEN YOU BLEND THE
00:23:09.53\00:23:10.63
INGREDIENTS. BUT,
WHEN YOU JUICE FRUITS OR
00:23:10.63\00:23:14.76
VEGETABLES, YOU'RE
LOSING ALL THE VALUABLE FIBRE.
00:23:14.76\00:23:18.66
SURE, JUICES TASTE
WONDERFUL, BUT BE CAREFUL
00:23:18.66\00:23:19.60
OF THE SUGAR OVERLOAD
YOU MAY BE GIVING YOURSELF,
00:23:19.60\00:23:23.70
ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE
DIABETIC. EVEN THOUGH THE
00:23:23.70\00:23:27.63
SUGAR IS TOTALLY
NATURAL, STILL IT IS SUGAR
00:23:27.63\00:23:28.53
BLENDING, HOWEVER,
KEEPS ALL THAT GREAT FIBRE. WE
00:23:28.53\00:23:33.30
KNOW THAT FIBRE IS
USEFUL FOR FILLING US UP AND FOR
00:23:33.30\00:23:37.16
KEEPING BLOOD SUGAR
LEVELS NICE AND EVEN. SO,
00:23:37.16\00:23:38.13
GET YOUR PEN AND PAPER
TO WRITE THESE RECIPES DOWN,
00:23:38.13\00:23:43.46
AND LET'S BLEND! WE'LL
START WITH MY FAVOURITE
00:23:43.46\00:23:47.36

THE INGREDIENTS BLEND THIS

ALL TOGETHER UNTIL IT'S
SMOOTH, AND ENJOY. YOU CAN
00:24:12.76\00:24:18.30
USE ANY FRUIT AND ANY
NUTS YOU WANT. NOT ONLY IS THIS
00:24:18.30\00:24:23.73
FILLING, BUT WITH ALL
THE GREAT FIBRE IN THIS
00:24:23.73\00:24:24.73
RECIPE, IT'S GOING
TO HELP YOUR BOWELS MOVE
00:24:24.73\00:24:27.93
REGULARLY. JUST BE
SURE, THOUGH, TO INCREASE THE
00:24:27.93\00:24:31.96
AMOUNT OF WATER YOU

00:24:31.96\00:24:32.90

00:25:15.56\00:25:20.26
OR, KEEP IT IN THE
REFRIGERATOR, BUT FOR
00:25:20.26\00:25:21.16
ONLY ONE DAY, TO GET
THE MAXIMUM BENEFIT. I
00:25:21.16\00:25:24.76
USE A PEAR TO SWEETEN
THIS SHAKE, BUT EXPERIMENT WITH
00:25:24.76\00:25:28.46
OTHER FRUITS YOU LIKE.
00:25:28.46\00:25:28.96
