00:01:51.000Today, as you begin this Sunday service, man and wife, Laura and Russell, two people moving through time and space, at very least, Lord, I ask that we may know the truth of this verse a living, Sacrifice.
00:02:15.000Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice.
00:02:21.000Show us the kenosis in this, the emptying out of self, Lord, that we may be present as vessels for your perfect will.
00:02:32.000Our Lord, show us in this the wisdom of the Stoic Marcus Aurelius, for surely if your Saint Paul could cite non scriptural sources in his own Scriptural tendency, why would we hold ourselves to a standard that the Bible itself does not hold itself to?
00:02:55.000Marcus Aurelius says, You are already dead.
00:02:58.000Now, live the rest of your life properly.1.00
00:03:01.000The Buddhists say, Put down the corpse.
00:03:09.000And St. Paul says, I die on the cross with Christ Jesus, and it's Christ that's reborn in me.
00:03:17.000And Schrdinger says the cat is both alive and dead.
00:03:21.000It's in a superstay of potentiality, collapsing only under observation into a definitive and determinate state.
00:03:30.000And Heisenberg says that at the first sip of the glass of quantum physics, one becomes an atheist, but there at the bottom of the glass, one finds God.
00:03:41.000Oh Lord, oh Lord, we ask not to conform to the pattern of this world, but to be transformed.
00:03:48.000By the renewing of this mind, that we die moment by moment to ourselves and are reborn again, that the Russell that began this prayer is already dead and a new man is born that may serve you, because you, Lord Jesus Christ, are spontaneous and ever present, transcendent of all self, not the God of culture.
00:04:10.000Culture that is not alive cannot be of you.
00:04:51.000Yeah, have a sip of a delicious drink.
00:04:55.000Yeah, the heaviness sometimes is difficult to actually lean in.
00:04:59.000I think it's quite difficult to lean into prayer, but it's obviously necessary because I realized the other day that when I do find things too overwhelming, I do shut down.
00:05:11.000And so I find it difficult to connect with the hope and faithfulness of the situation.
00:05:19.000And then, like, weirdly, quite a lot of felt kind of some insecurities, maybe just a little bit.
00:05:25.000Thankfully, I'm with you, and you actually fill me with like a lot of praise.
00:05:31.000And I know that the way that I am in your eyes, I do, it feels, I feel good.
00:05:41.000And just before we, You know, come of what you said, you know, I don't often think about it.
00:05:49.000You're always extremely complimentary, right from the level of like, if I'm wearing something or the way I look, and you tell me I'm beautiful.
00:05:56.000And I feel like, I feel mostly like I don't think much about the way I look.
00:06:02.000But recently, I suppose some things have come up for me.
00:06:06.000So I think when I say I'm experiencing insecurity, that's what has been presenting.
00:06:11.000I suppose so that this is not cryptic.
00:06:16.000There is the comments, like we had, like we notice if the show gets like normally in the world of social media, if your show gets watched a lot, it means that it's probably been watched by people that don't like you.
00:06:31.000So, online, people that know how to operate in these spaces, which are still somewhat protean in covet and forming, know that there's a benefit in conflict.
00:07:21.000You begin to participate in that dynamic.
00:07:24.000Or if I say Islam or Israel, or if I say whatever it is, it doesn't matter actually.
00:07:32.000If you start to form you late, if you're not being transformed by the renewing of your mind, by like, I've got this thing that I think about that, then you are sort of an unwitting participant in precisely the dynamic that I described.
00:07:47.000So, anyway, we noticed that there were like more views.
00:09:09.000So one could think like, because what I'm saying is that we're not, it's not like what you were saying about, you mentioned Andrew Tate, it's like, of course, yeah, people are going to have opinions.
00:09:19.000And then I suppose what it is, is it's going to be opinions, like you say, based on where they're getting their information and what they believe.
00:09:26.000So when it comes to something like comments, which I also don't, you know, like to really indulge that negativity, I see it almost like that it can, This is what you have to do.
00:09:38.000You have to almost pray and cover yourself in a protective guard and armor from even the idea that there's a comment about you that you don't feel under the spell of it, like it's been cast upon you.
00:09:52.000And so when I saw this comment, which actually I will read it, and it's a lovely comment, by the way.
00:11:32.000It's not up for discussion because the person is one sided.
00:11:35.000The person is in their own insular and solitary world because you wouldn't post.
00:11:42.000Nobody would go up to a stranger in the street and just say a mean thing.
00:11:47.000It's just, but because we're behind, because you're behind comments, because it's like we're a couple that are online, it puts you up for this sort of vulnerability to this vulnerability.
00:12:01.000My point being is that I really am trying to imagine, like, really trying to just like fill my heart with a kind of a love.
00:12:13.000Towards even the idea of a negative comment, so that I can.
00:12:18.000By praying, by praying to bless them, but also, I suppose, knowing that if I'm not accepted as myself, who I am authentically when I'm here or when I'm with you, well, does it matter?
00:12:33.000Does it matter to that individual person, or does it matter that 10 people might see that and then think, oh, maybe she's right, or maybe that person's right?
00:12:39.000Or is it, you know, it's also quite self centered.
00:13:05.000If you believe that power is not ultimately determined by activity in this realm, then it becomes less relevant, but you'll still be affected by it in the same way that if there's a particular charge in the air or if a particular stimulant is applied to your body, you will feel it.
00:13:25.000If someone steps on your toe, you will feel it.
00:13:27.000You'll respond to different flavors on your taste bud.
00:13:30.000However, though, that's, you know, if you're interested in power, and I mention that only because social media spaces are interested in power.
00:13:52.000So, Lindsay Clancy, like she, think now, the culture is this way an object gets thrown into the culture.
00:13:58.000You might call it October the 7th, you might call it Russell Brand, you might call it Lindsay Clancy, whatever the object, it doesn't matter, it's truly irrelevant.
00:14:07.000The object gets thrown into the pool, the collective pool of the culture.
00:14:14.000Trump's a really good one to use because he's the biggest one, I suppose.
00:14:19.000Whether if you are like, I adore Donald Trump because of XYZ, or I loathe Trump because of ABC, both of those polarities are equally good for the systems.
00:14:31.000And same for Lindsey Clancy or for Andrew Tate or for whomever, me, whoever.
00:14:36.000Because as long as you're trapped in a kind of a polarity, you are conformed to the pattern of this world.
00:14:42.000You are not transformed by the renewing of your mind.
00:14:46.000Because the system wants conformity, the system does not want spontaneity.
00:14:52.000Our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus, He is the living water, He is spontaneous, He is responding continually.
00:14:59.000He is outside of time, He's the Alpha, the Omega, He is outside of all categories and conditions.
00:15:42.000My sinless brother is my guide to peace, my sinful brother is my guide to pain.
00:15:50.000And which I choose to see, I will behold.
00:15:53.000Now, I want you to hold in your mind the comments right now.
00:15:57.000Let's continue that thread of like, you know, someone writes a comment about another person or hates person X for a reason Y. Consider.
00:16:07.000Now, in the lexicon and vocabulary, of course, in Miracles, brother is akin to how the Gospels and indeed Scripture uses the term neighbor, i.e., the person that you're interacting with.
00:16:19.000The person that you're interacting with.
00:16:25.000Yeah, and maybe if you were to take it out into more sort of native American ideologies, they may use brother, water, sister, air, and all that.
00:17:00.000So, when it says, my sinless brother is my guide to peace, my sinful brother is my guide to pain, it could be the same person, much in the same way as two men will be working in a field, one man will be taken, you know, sort of rapture wise.0.85
00:17:14.000Part of you, you must let go of, you must die.
00:17:17.000I actually intended to talk about this in the first instance.
00:17:20.000Like in that film, The Prestige, where Christopher Nolan et al. work through a theatrical imagining.
00:17:31.000Of Nikolai Tesla, played by David Bowie, God rest his soul, how Schrdinger's famous experiment might play out if such a thing were actually possible in reality.
00:17:43.000Hugh Jackman's protagonist gets Tesla to build a device where you can infinitely reproduce yourself.
00:17:50.000And it's a thought experiment that came out of those various, from 1912 onwards, experiments and at least theoretical experimentations around ideas in quantum physics.
00:18:03.000Every time you make a decision, another you might be born in an infinite number of universes.
00:18:08.000And I myself see that as a kind of a rather ridiculous way of trying to keep things somehow material when material itself demonstrates something supra material, i.e., material, the deeper you get into it, doesn't conform to our understanding of what the physical world would be.
00:18:47.000As Eckhart Tolle says, and this is brilliant, and it's very in touch, in line with the Pauline idea that we began with be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
00:19:18.000I can see a window and I remember watching the internet.
00:19:20.000I mean, man, that's a what a demand to make of your spirit.
00:19:26.000But really, it's only an absolute surrender.
00:19:28.000It's only by conforming to the pattern of this world that you start going, oh no, this happened to me as a child and then this happened and then that happened.
00:19:36.000And you want to make a false idol, you want to make a god of this passing world, of this passing world.0.98
00:19:44.000So, my sinless brother, if you think of any person, you at home and you too, Laura, think of any individual, it could even be the person that leads a comment saying, This is like, I will imagine one, you've got no business saying a prayer, you've never been Christian, I don't think you are even probably Christian, and perhaps you should concentrate more on the matters, legal matters that your family are facing, and you look disgusting and I hate you, right?0.97
00:21:11.000So, because when you first read that, I, because you read it the other day, and I truly, at first, I really sort of, even when you read the whole thing, I understood it to be, yeah, of course, you've got Meanie and you've got Nicey, two different people, and you can go with Nicey.
00:21:31.000These names are terrible, aren't they, really?
00:21:53.000Even if you wanted to fetishise their distinctions, say, well, no, that's not actually true because Meanie is called Alex Blofelt and lives in Murray Down Lane.
00:22:03.000And Nicey is called Michelle Crowthorne, and she lives in Surrey, right?
00:22:11.000If you wanted to see him as a people, well, riddle me this.
00:22:15.000How do we deal with the physical cosmological reality that materialists and atheists believe that 13.8 billion years ago, all reality was compressed into a sub molecular particle, along with unicorns, not unicorns, they're not real actually, rainbows, and at some point, dinosaurs, and Kittens and love and thermonuclear dynamics, Saturn, Jupiter, the rules of quantum physics, all of those things, they're also not real,
00:22:43.000were packed into a sub molecular particle and then all unfolded.
00:22:48.000So at some point, even physically, Mimi and Nice are one thing.
00:22:54.000So my sinless brother is my guide to peace, my sinful brother is my guide to pain, and which I choose to see, I will behold.
00:23:04.000We are part of, if we choose to see it, if we choose to conform to the pattern of this world, you know, well, I actually think that's wrong.
00:23:14.000I think there are some things that are right.
00:23:16.000You know, there is no objective flat thing that you can just agree to.
00:23:21.000That's just like, this is what I'm going to say.
00:23:23.000Nikki Gumball, who did such wonderful work in establishing the Alpha Church, says Christ removes the limited liability of the term neighbor when talking to the rich young ruler.
00:23:57.000It's very much, I'd call it meatloaf Christianity.0.60
00:24:01.000I'll do anything for Christ, but I won't do that.0.94
00:24:04.000Whatever it is you won't do, you better do that.
00:24:06.000I like that you say there's one comment here, actually, because for those that didn't join us last week, we talked.
00:24:11.000About Mr. Rogers, and someone at Elizabeth Hutton 6153, just off the back of what Russell said there about Nikki Gumbel, has said, Won't you be my neighbor?
00:25:40.000And one thing I want to bring back about the kind of comment thing or insecurity is that, you know, really, ultimately, how can we be, how can we really truly be even offended when it's not in the eyes of God?
00:25:56.000It's not somebody that really truly knows us.
00:26:01.000It's something that's just an Outward expression of an anger within themselves.
00:26:05.000Judgment is in Christianity, the concept of final judgment that you are going to be judged.
00:26:10.000Also, atemporality and spatiality are in it, i.e., ultimately, this is happening beyond time and space.
00:26:17.000Like Michael Beckwith brilliantly said at Agape Church when Kobe Bryant died, and the congregation takes a sharp intake of breath, this being a Sunday, by as I recall Michael Beckwith telling me, he says to the congregation, because he's in LA, so there's a lot of like LA Lakers type people.
00:26:35.000And like fans of that basketball team, and a lot of African Americans, as it turns out, if that consolidates it or concentrates it more, I don't know, you tell me.
00:26:44.000Like, as there's a big reaction, and Michael Beckwith says, Before you go where you're going, like having your own reaction about Kobe Bryant dying, who you probably don't know and is just someone you care about because he's brilliant.
00:27:26.000In the end, when does it become essential and irreducible?
00:27:31.000When you say that and you say that everyone will feel it, if you're praying towards the family and if you get everybody together and it's that feeling that it's cultivating that real positive.
00:27:42.000Prayer towards that, it's going to fill them and it's going to affect them on some level.
00:28:28.000And this is just when I'm just thinking about the way we speak, you know, because sometimes I might pray, you know, pray to, you know, you might say, let's call them enemies, if you will.
00:28:38.000You want to pray love towards enemies and specifically, exactly right.
00:28:43.000Love your enemies, love your enemies, love your enemies.
00:28:46.000And what you're praying for is you also are praying for sort of a softness of heart, but that we don't want with the other side of a softness.
00:28:52.000I, the idea might be fragility or the softness might imply weakness, but it's not right.
00:29:01.000He says, I am the truth, the life and the way, and you're praying for the truth.
00:29:05.000Yes, like the truth is that even the person that's saying the most awful thing about you imaginable, the truth is that person is a beloved child of God, and that we will refuse to enter into the illusion, even an illusion that they think they're in themselves now.
00:29:24.000If we like, so we see them in love, we see them in golden light, beloved, absolutely beloved, and they will crack open, that truth will appear in them.
00:29:33.000I've seen this happen, you know, before even coming to the Lord.
00:29:36.000I remember a moment with my dad, who at times I've had a difficult relationship with Radhanath Swami, known as the Maharaj among those that follow him, Swamiji, to others.
00:29:44.000I was on a film set, yeah, I think Jay Shetty was there, man.
00:29:47.000I was making a little movie for Telly, I think, five children.
00:29:51.000Thank God Michael Caine was in it, otherwise, Lord Lone Island, we were in, weren't we?
00:30:08.000So, like, we can certainly testify to his sincerity.
00:30:11.000Like, anyone that has a public profile, people question him continually.
00:30:15.000And, Radnath Swami, there's this moment where, like, you know, Radnath Swami looked in my dad's face and said something like, You are a good man.
00:30:41.000It's, it's, oh, so love your enemies means that because, like it says, even as our Lord says, even the hookers and the tax collectors love your friends.
00:30:50.000You know, being nice to you is no different than cleaning my teeth.
00:30:53.000I live with you, I've got you, and I need you to be all right.
00:30:57.000I need you to be all right, but can I love people that have been said untruthful things about me?
00:31:03.000Can I love people that have generated negative?
00:31:06.000Yes, the truth is, I can when I'm in him.
00:31:07.000He is the truth, the life, and the way.
00:31:09.000When I'm with him, I can because with him, you are in judgment.
00:31:12.000Even if, like, you know, whatever's happening to you, you're going to die.
00:31:26.000When our girls were babies, you know, mabes and pegs, I remember, like, maybe even Mabel, I remember having a lot of these realizations, just like, drive past the bus stops.
00:31:36.000Little UK, like an old lady on her own at a bus stop, I just think, oh, that's someone's baby daughter.
00:31:43.000I just saw, oh, my little Mabel, an old lady alone at a bus stop one day.
00:31:49.000The brilliant English writer Alan Bennett says the trends around names.0.84
00:31:54.000He says, you know, when you go to an old folks' home and they're all full of Veras and Mauds, the UK goes, but one day the old folks' home will be full of Kellys and Darren's.
00:32:08.000You know, like he goes, perhaps the difference in the name prevents us from seeing that that's who we are.
00:32:15.000We are all one in him, as St. John says in his gospel, the words of our Lord.
00:32:24.00015 I am the true vine, and my father is the gardener.
00:32:28.000He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch, think of this as thinking in terms of neurology, think in terms of these are image systems.
00:34:23.000So they've done this big job of a lot, a lot.
00:34:28.000I would call it a catastrophic level of tree clearing.
00:34:32.000Even trees that weren't interfering with the lines.
00:34:35.000They're allowed to prune and cut branches in order to clear what they call easements, like areas that they have to access.
00:34:45.000And we're talking 25 to 30 year old trees.
00:34:48.000We're talking beautiful crepe myrtles, things that people have planted themselves in their gardens that were kind of obviously, they might say, encroaching near the line.
00:34:57.000And of course, it's all to prevent in storms these things falling on power cables.
00:35:11.000As a friend of Jesse over there at Chelco, I know him to be a good man.
00:35:18.000Yes, I'm not actually, I'm not even really talking about Jesse because I'm seeing it as just an independent sort of thing.
00:35:25.000It's like it got into the cogs of corporation and the people cutting the trees down who are individually good.
00:35:32.000People just doing their jobs, they're doing their jobs, so they go along with the machine and it's gone arm and it's got this churner and it just takes everything down.
00:35:40.000I'm, I'm, it took quite a large area of near where we live, and a lot of people have been very upset.
00:35:46.000And so, I've been looking about this, thinking about the Bible, thinking about the uh, um, comments on the trees and nature and life.
00:35:54.000And of course, we won't even cut a branch down, even if it's actually genuinely encroaching on the house, like even in a way, we don't, we like to like see trees as much as possible.
00:36:04.000Good, it's nature, it's birds, it's squirrels, it's all the stuff.
00:36:10.000And we've managed to get slightly stuck into this, probably as a sort of maybe a distraction from other things we've got going on.
00:36:17.000It's been enjoyable to some degree because Russell's been going out on the roads like, yeah, all right.
00:36:24.000And I'm having to also prep him by like, are you befriending these guys?
00:36:27.000Are you telling them that we don't agree with the tree cussing?0.74
00:36:30.000And then he's like, yeah, but I'm trying to see both perspectives and I'm trying to, I think we're never going to reach an agreement if we aren't peaceful about it and we don't try and meet.
00:36:38.000Meet some understanding and mutualize.
00:36:43.000One thing I will say is that the ethos of Chalco is very much about the community being priority and the preservation of nature because they know how important it is.
00:36:54.000So to see that all just being like wiped with the idea of that ethos on their website is something.
00:37:00.000So I sent a message to a friend of mine.
00:37:16.000So it's like really, when we are saying we like the trees, look, let me put it in a more honest way that's non judgmental.
00:37:23.000When I'm not with God, and that happens to be sometimes, like I said to you, my own crying son, if I'm honest, what I want is the noise to stop.
00:37:57.000I think that's a normal parenting, and I completely, completely hear you.
00:38:01.000And I think, what, how does that relate to the trees?
00:38:04.000It relates to it because that's in sometimes when you're honest, your only, your true position is I have a personal attachment and I see that tree as part of me and part of what I want.
00:38:15.000And then I'm going to retro engineer a moral argument around what I want.
00:38:20.000Rather than God, you are all powerful.
00:38:44.000Well, I think actually, even in the case of what we've been talking about earlier on in the show today, the sermon, the service, we talked about.
00:38:54.000Loving kindness towards people, even so, even in areas of like contention, where there's especially love your enemy.
00:39:00.000And I think, uh, I have seen obviously that the impulse, and even my own impulse, was to kind of go out and take the keys out their machines and start screaming at them.
00:39:10.000And then when you actually kind of come face to face, you see all of the things about them you see their scars, scars, you see their beauty, beauty, you see their kindness, you see their struggle.
00:39:21.000Uh, because it's not like that, some of them don't seem to even want to be doing it.
00:39:24.000Um, so uh, but when we come back to what the point really is, is that I, for the first time, I found this passage using uh AI because I said to AI, Tell me, show me everything about trees from the Bible.
00:40:12.000You don't know what the light will hit and cultivate.
00:40:16.000And what I said to my friend was, you know, how could we know now we're feeling frustrated and encroached upon and like this, been this sort of.
00:40:25.000It was when our friend said to us, you know, that's 25.
00:40:28.00030 year old trees, I actually genuinely feel like they're talking about a human.
00:40:32.000You know, like it feels to me like it's like, oh gosh, imagine that tree working hard.
00:41:45.000Yeah, like, you know, we don't bloody know.
00:41:47.000Basically, now, to your point of Job 14, uh, now, like Job is a difficult book.
00:41:54.000Some say it's you know, like it's an old old book, Mesopotamian may even predate other texts in a way that's sort of confusing.
00:42:03.000It begins with a battle between good and evil, it's difficult.
00:42:06.000One can speculate what the relationship is between Lucifer and God at this point, and the energy and image system that is God, the source, the creator, the principle, the creator of all patterns, the infinite, and uh, and what we mean by Satan, Lucifer, the fallen one.
00:44:19.000And in his lamentation, he makes the appeal.
00:44:21.000He prepares and demonstrates the necessity for the divine incarnation, for flesh to be divinized, sacralized by Christ, by God coming in human form on the human bandwidth.
00:44:38.000If only you would hide me in the grave and conceal me till your anger has passed.
00:44:42.000Oh my God, that sort of beautiful preempting of the tomb and the three days between the death on the cross and the resurrection.
00:44:50.000If only you would set me a time and then remember me.
00:44:53.000If someone dies, will they live again?
00:45:17.000But as a mountain erodes and crumbles, and as a rock is moved from its place, as water wears away stones, and torrents wash away the soil, so you destroy a person's hope.
00:45:28.000You overpower them once for all, and they are gone.
00:45:31.000You change their countenance and send them away.
00:45:33.000If their children are honoured, they do not know it.
00:45:35.000If their children are brought low, they do not see it.
00:45:49.000And then Job's lament ends, and one of his dopey mates gives him some sort of answer.
00:45:54.000But when I first read the Bible, I was trying to understand, like, because there's stuff in the Bible that's parody, like the commentary and interactions is very like a Greek play or something.
00:46:05.000The things that Eliphaz and all them say are parody.
00:46:26.000And that's what part of Job's anguish is the inability of those around him to identify with me.
00:46:30.000But people that are with Christ, that know that we are of one mind, that we are branches of the same mind, the comfort they can offer is sometimes like, look, I don't know what you're going through.
00:46:39.000I don't know what it's like to be you.
00:46:41.000I don't know what it's like to suffer your problem, but we are here and we are one and we know that God is real.
00:47:13.000And thank you for working through that with me in this way because from the beginning of this podcast, I was probably, I said to Russell before the show today, like, I feel sort of too tired, but I realized what.
00:47:26.000The tiredness is a sort of a feeling of not wanting to confront what I felt, what I feel.
00:49:55.000Nobody talks about the question I'm going to ask.
00:49:58.000And that is like, sometimes when I pray, I have goosebumps.
00:50:04.000The hairs on my arms and body and legs stand up, and I really feel the Holy Spirit.
00:50:15.000Well, all right, I know he's not finished the question, but that's God with you.
00:50:17.000And today, when me and my daughters stayed at a hotel spontaneously yesterday as a result of me attending an event connected to one of the groups that I attend in order to not drink or take drugs one day at a time.
00:50:32.000And a woman, her name was Whitney, hello, Whitney, came up to me and she talked to me about our Lord Christ.
00:50:40.000And she said, Oh, whenever I get those goosebumps, and you love a goosebump, don't you?
00:50:45.000Well, I think we talked about it on week two or three of the show.
00:51:04.000But one thing, when I did say that that week, because I think I must have said I got goose bumps over, I don't know, like, I don't know, we were talking about, like Patrick Swayze or it was something random.
00:51:51.000Then that is a communion, a connection.
00:51:54.000And this is what this woman Whitney was talking to me about this morning.
00:51:57.000As we said, as I discussed with her the idea that we are with Christ in all eternity, through all eternity.
00:52:04.000And even if you approach this not only from a secular, but from a materialistic and atheistic perspective, that if the way that we detect that the Big Bang was 13.8 billion years ago is by measuring particles and the rate of motion, we could detect that 13.8 billion years ago, if you were to reverse the direction, it would all have been some something.
00:52:24.000Particle, etc., etc., yeah, then all things were one, all things were one, and as we always say, no one knows what was happening on the Tuesday afternoon before that big bang.
00:52:35.000And in that, for a moment, as in quantum entanglement, in that moment, there is no time or space.
00:53:00.000So I would love for you to talk about how you feel God.
00:53:06.000And if that's not a normal thing, or if I'm just going mad, and I don't know, like I feel like I know it's God, it happens when I pray and I'm talking and it happens, and that's incredible.
00:53:28.000And I just like nobody talks about it.
00:53:32.000The people I know that are kind of Christian, I say that to them, they're like, oh, that's amazing.
00:53:37.000But like, they don't actually say that happens.
00:54:51.000But what I would say is, conform not to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, i.e., you have access to eternity and it's coming through you and you're feeling it.
00:55:00.000And the old you is dying and moving away, and the Lord will finish the work that He has started in us.
00:56:37.000It's in the richness even of this natural experience, whether it's rain or if it's sunlight or if it's that charming, needful message from the unknown person who knows who they are.
00:56:52.000Thank you for bringing this to us today so that we could work with the experiences of our week and our feelings and, you know, without shame.
00:57:03.000Bring forth the insecurities and the fears and the questions we have without the fear of embarrassment or the feeling that we shouldn't be asking it, but with the total confidence and comfort that this is a good place, a good place for that.
00:57:22.000And thank you, God, for that provision.
00:58:10.000Thank you for all the people that work on this podcast.
00:58:11.000I bet that Nikki gave that to Nassie, that message.
00:58:14.000Pray for that young man to feel more and more of God and to be free from anything that torments him.
00:58:19.000And I reiterate Laura's prayer anyone who wishes harm to us or wishes, or anyone who is her, who has been her, oh Lord, we pray for deep revelation and the deep presence of God.
00:58:33.000We pray for your justice and your truth and your wisdom and your life and your way, because without you, there ain't no truth.
00:58:39.000There ain't no justice, there ain't no life, there ain't no wisdom without you, Lord.
00:58:42.000So thank you, Father, for the bringing of your kingdom.
00:58:59.000We pray in your holy name, Heavenly Father.
