 We're live. So I'm gonna say welcome back to steps of freedom. That's my opening line, right? That's my opening. I actually was watching one One of my own I try not to watch them Just in case there's any critical spirit left in there I just say, you know what? I'm just gonna do it and let God use it and maybe somebody Will benefit from it. So but I like how everyone I go welcome back to steps of freedom I'm like, I like that. That's nice. I'll stick with that All right, so I welcome all of you. We have a couple of guests. I just want to say welcome Renju brought a guest and maybe before the end of the evening can introduce yourself We won't embarrass you and nail me. She know I mean she brought a guest also And so I won't embarrass her and say anything make a stand up have everybody get up and hug you Which I always appreciated at the Pentecostal Church is I Did you go to a little church about the size and they do praise and worship and then they say now greet your neighbor And you're the new person. You know what happens, right? It's like the receiving line at a wedding or something Everyone in the church comes and gives you a hug tells you how wonderful it is for you to be here Gosh, I love those days. Those are great before I knew anything All right, so tonight We are talking about Renewing the mind I Think this is an understated topic. Yeah I think I took some classes at a couple of churches along the way that said newcomers welcome class or I never took a class to join the church I just felt like I'm a I'm a part of the family of God now and every church I belong there if they believe in Jesus Christ and you know our creed of the Bible But I did take a couple of classes like welcome to our church type of class our discipleship classes. I Don't recall that making such a emphasis on renewing the mind in fact I know ministers They're trying to get you to renew your mind by preaching and they cover the scriptures and they have certain phrases That they like to say over and over and over again Now of course, I'm not going to think of one someone to ask you think about a minister You really like he repeats a scripture and you got it memorized think about it Yes, right no weapon formed against me shall prosper praise the Lord right they would say You know if you're diligent with someone about being diligent He's a rewarder of those who diligently seek him Like I had a pastor one time that repeated that scripture and it's in my head, right? No weapon formed against me So there are certain scriptures that you hear over and over and over again every Sunday for whatever how many years you started You know been going to church. It's in there And so you might have a day That's very difficult and at some point in the day you realize no weapon formed against me will prosper I'm gonna be okay What has happened in that instance? Welcome ladies. You have renewed your mind to the point that it automatically thinks the scriptures and Who spoke the scriptures who spoke the scriptures Jesus or we could say the Holy Spirit, right? It says that all scripture is God breathe or God inspired so if we are to have the mind of Christ Then what's our mind what what should we be thinking? The word the word so I ask you to think about this question If you were a superhero What would be your superpower? anybody See any just okay use your imagination. Give you permission use your imagination If you could have any superpower, what would it be all wisdom? Okay? so I could help Change the world well at the knowledge Mm-hmm to do to bring about change Right, of course you're gonna save the world because you're a superhero right Cheryl To be able to defeat the devil at every turn. Yeah to get him in his tricks, right? Okay, being able to defeat the devil at every temptation. Yeah, awesome. Thank you Healing the gift of healing I hate to break it to you. You already got that superpower Okay, it's not quite manifested to its fullest extent yet yet When I was young my favorite superhero was Wonder Woman Like probably many of you. I thought she was really cool. I Looked like her. You know actually my dad. He met Wonder Woman I was a teenager and when he came home. He said, you know, I met Linda Carter and You resemble her and from that point on every Halloween. I wanted to be Wonder Woman Is she from Arcadia? Oh wow see I'm not her anyway, I Even though I grew up I went to college and became a teacher and we in education you have to take a lot of classes like a Lifelong learner it's drilled into your head. You got to keep learning keep learning keep taking classes so I took a lot of classes right and Sometimes the the exercise that we did was imagine you're a superhero. What superpowers would you have? And I always had the same answer and it was to always make the right decision. I Wanted the superpower of always making the right or correct or best decision You know just always making it and I and I had to deal with some envy Within myself because I would look at people and this is when I was younger I would look at people and I would see them their lives appeared to be going very well They made good decisions regarding a spouse They made good decisions on how they dressed they made good decisions about where they lived in town Choices for a career and and I looked at my life and I was like wow, I don't have that quite going on in my life I did make one really good decision which I Think the Lord tricked me. It wasn't even my decision. He tricked me into it and that was going into education That was one of the best decisions. I ever made and I'm thankful. That's but was an excellent career I loved it And so I wanted to and it's still my my Answer to the question. What superpower would you desire and that would be to always make the right decision? so like many Christians, you know we We're told we get saved we become born again We we give our lives to Christ and then we go on with life and we kind of bumble around we make a lot of wrong decisions we read the Bible nice to read the Bible and and I I would read it every day and I'd even like write a journal about it. What did I think about that? I was trying to really get it in but I still would make bad decisions and I was like wow, I need I need to make better decisions. I Want to quote this scripture? Hosea 4-6 Most of us know the beginning of it. It says my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you from being priests for me Because you have forgotten the law of your God. I will also forget your children Now we know that scripture a lot of most of us do My people are destroyed or my people perish for lack of knowledge I've heard it if I've heard it once I've heard it a hundred times, but the rest of that scripture Not so popular I don't know about you, but I cannot afford to be rejected by God. I Can I literally cannot afford it? Right. I don't I don't I don't have I don't think I have the stamina At all to go through life and being rejected by God It's horrible even as a Christian making bad decisions and God loves me, but he's still withholding that's tough But imagine not being in the family of God at all and being rejected by him Or worse yet having a curse on your life From God because that's what Deuteronomy says If you're gonna hold on to idols people places things or if you're going to hang on to your own will as an idol You will reject you And that's a terrible place to be you'll make a lot of wrong turns a lot of wrong decisions So wow we need knowledge We have to get knowledge. We have to continue being learners of the word It is the most important It's the most important Knowledge there is so King David Solomon Paul James you name it so many biblical writers wrote about wisdom knowledge understanding and discernment I Remember thinking when I was young as a Christian. I remember thinking wow, how does this person? How are they able to discern what's happening here? I could never figure it out. I was I was like always blind to Assessing correctly the situation or the intent of that person Today I met with a young lady who Had most of her boxes checked if you know what I mean on the intake form and 30 years old and she had had a very difficult life And she told me all about the life and she didn't even break down at one point In regret for the problem. She was causing other people Well when it came to the time To repent of her sin and I just happened to notice the two boxes of marble cigarettes in her purse And I said would you like to put those on the desk and repent of those Are you ready to quit smoking today? And she said no, I'm not ready for that Got it. God's God works with us slowly You know, he's gentle he's kind I go he is gentle and kind I said about how serious are you? and so I'm not usually that I don't know in your face But for some reason I was and I know it made me nervous I was like, I'm not normally like that with people, but I kind of got in her face a little bit She's like, I'm feeling condemned and I'm like, all right. Oh, I'm sorry sister. You know, I don't want to offend you or anything Now I know it was discernment. I Believe the Holy Spirit led me to to address that one item of hers that she's still hanging on to And it was a little test. Are you ready? Because hey, I know if the Holy Spirit comes upon you I Can I can say get out in Jesus name? We all can but we can do nothing unless the Holy Spirit is present And unless your heart is broken over the sin in your life and you are ready to stop Conforming to this world It's not gonna happen Sadly she left without any deliverance She got offended and even though I prayed and I asked her to forgive me She still didn't feel right about how I was talking to her. I Said, okay, I go well I go that demon that's following you It'll it'll be out there. I go, but we'll be here. I go here zoom. She took a picture. I said get on zoom with us Come back Thursday night for service. I go, I'll be here come back Friday. We're here Here's the miracle list steps of freedom. Check it out. You know I'm not offended by her at all. I'm sad I'm sad because I know tonight. She's gonna have a tough night to sleep. I Know that so hey stuff you think we could turn the air on Go ahead 74. Thanks So in Romans Paul explains that we need to do a few things to make right decisions in our lives Our decisions must align with the word of God Romans chapter 12 1 3 1 and 2 says I beseech you. It's like he's begging us You know, he's begging the Romans brothers sisters, please By the mercies of God present yourself Your body's is a living sacrifice Holy acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. He died on the cross for you after all It's reasonable for you to lay down your life for him And this is the part that's emphasized is do not be conformed to this world this young woman told me how Because she's was doing drugs a certain type of drug. She had to go on another drug So she would didn't have withdrawals I said, okay, and she's like and they told me I got to do it little by little by little So, all right. That's the that I'm not saying that you should never do that But here she is in the office here at the Arizona Deliverance Center Willing to give her life to God. We've seen it many times Attics come in they get set free right then they don't need no long-term plan to get off drugs, right? But she was still wanting to be conformed to the the patterns of the world of Here's the plan of getting off this job. You'll take you like four months or whatever 10 years I mean Unfortunately, some people get stuck in that cycle And I thought wow if we will not conform to this world any longer Then it says you may prove what is the good acceptable and Perfect will of God. Wow. I think there's hope for me If I can know the perfect will of God Then I can stop making bad decisions And I can be a superhero. I like that All right, the Paul also explained to the church in Ephesus he said This I say therefore and testify in the Lord that you should no longer walk as The rest of the Gentiles walk Now you are Christians. I don't want you to walk live your life like those Gentiles that don't know me That don't know that I love them They don't know that I have a plan for their life. They don't know about the power of the Holy Spirit They're living their life according to their own good ideas Their own knowledge that they acquired their own experience. They're not they're not going by the spirit of God They're not living like that and then it says, you know in the frutility of their mind Having their understanding Darkened how many times have you felt like gosh, I'm just confused. I don't know what to do Now I'm not saying that's always the case that your mind is darkened, but sometimes Being alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance That is in them because of the blindness of their hearts because the blindness of their heart Who being past feeling have given themselves over to lewdness to work all uncleanliness uncleanness and readiness He also talked about putting on the new man. He said take off the old man your your former conduct Your former way of doing things I Don't know about you, but before deliverance. I felt like it seemed as if I could not stop my former conduct. I Didn't have the power to He says, you know take off put off the old man You have to get rid of that and put on the new man be renewed in the spirit of your mind and Put on the new man which was created according to God and true righteousness and holiness you know in life we make decisions we deal with people We go to work. We are you know, we live and We have to make decisions and speak and and go about life with a new mind of Christ And so as a new Christian, you know, you're not really responsible to have the mind of Christ at that time Because you know anything you just came in. Okay, great. Let's get you that's why they have those new believer classes And you know, you should go to Bible study and here's a Bible read the word and they try to get come the church To renew their mind, right? Otherwise We'll just keep making those old decisions, but now as mature Christians. We are mature Christian women We know a lot of the word But maybe you were like me. I had a difficulty applying the word to my life everyday life My thoughts right, you know Alright this to put on the new man will permit your mind to put on the mind of Christ And gradually transform your thoughts to his thoughts That's what it means You don't become a Christian you're automatically have the mind of Christ your mind is not saved Your spirit is saved. We know our mind doesn't save because our mind still thinks crazy Still thinks wrong. Well, that couldn't be saved. All right But we can change our ways. Okay There's some more scriptures there you'll you'll see them Second Timothy says all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine for reproof or rebuke for correction. I Guess that's two different things. Sorry mess that up for instruction and righteousness that the man of God may be complete Thoroughly equipped for every good work I Was told in the beginning that my Bible was the instruction manual for life And it really is but if you don't have the spirit of God, you won't be able to understand it if you're still Stubborn about giving up your old ways Your mind will be darkened. You won't understand it We we have to be willing So I just want to go over this last analogy There's some more things written in here, but So I think about the mind like a computer, okay? So we know when we get a computer their settings on the computer and their default settings You have the color scheme is default The font size is a select size The margins everything how it's arranged Everything is set up you turn it on and there it is But you can go into settings right and go to the control panel and change things But you have to physically go in and do it You can't just go in and change one thing and expect everything to change You have to go in and in most case You have to go into the computer to change the computer But then for the applications like word if you want your document to be a certain font size or Script style you have to go in and change every single little detail And then when you close that document you open a new one you got to go in and do it again That's I think our minds are like that You can't do it while I read the Bible Like to sing that well, I repented at home. I'm done. I'm good, right? Jesus saves. He forgives. I'm good I'm like, I don't know. Do you still want to smoke those cigarettes? If you if you willingly like put them on the desk say I'm done I've had it that's enough I repent I've been repenting. I can't stop it. I Would say good. Let's go I'll cancel my class tonight. I'll stay with you. I'll stay with you As long as possible. In fact, I'll get my sister's praying in the other room for you Yeah, that person might have got all the way delivered, huh? So we have to go in and customize the Holy Spirit our helper He helps us He helps us remember the scriptures So we have to renew our mind and so this part of this class and the list itself talks about renewing the mind and It talks about Some scriptures that are very very important and if you look on your page 42, you don't have to go there But it's one item And it says read John chapter 14 15 16 Matthew 8 and 9 I'll let you get there. It's I know they're not numbered Sorry Just kidding It's it's right on the same page as tongues That's the page. It's on okay On that page. It's letter a and it says read the Gospel of John Chapter 14 15 16 Matthew 8 and 9 and then it's got some other scriptures there from Mark So you all did some reading in this book, right? I hope All right about autonomic processing and hopefully You read a little bit more This is a great book. It's a little technical. I would say but it is it's very good. It's very informative From this point I would say for the next couple weeks I want you to take this class like It's a it's a class a real class a real college class If you put in the time You're gonna reap the benefits I'm seeing several of you come either on zoom or here in a service And you're getting touched by the Lord in a powerful way, and I really believe it's because you're putting the time in Okay, so put the time in Psalms chapter 1 says if you meditate on his on the word on the law of God right on the word if you meditate day and night Then you will be like a tree that's planted by streams of water. You'll be well watered So when the Sun is scorching hot when the wind is Hurricane when the storms come You will be stable. I put this to the test I think it was my third year of teaching. Yeah, my third year of teaching. So I graduated from Grand Canyon University got my degree in teaching started teaching junior high school and hated it Every day I was like, what did I do? Oh my gosh You felt I felt stuck every summer. I would cry and I would be looking what else could I do? I mean, you know, what else what other job could I do? I? Knew I had just a couple of months to figure it out She's laughing. I was like, I hate this job these kids crazy, right cuz I taught science. So I had your regular ed I Had your honors kids. I had your special ed kids. I had your ESL kids all in one class Yeah, all in one class. I had them all. Oh, yeah Oh, it was amazing and I would have like 35 kids in my class. I taught science. So so we had the chairs and then lab stations around the classroom and I would have to write like four different lesson plans, you know You have your lesson you have the enrichment for your higher-level kids who get it done like this They're like Ford and then they start throwing things and They're bored, right? So you got to have enrichment for them. You got to have regular Lesson for the regular kids then you have to have some lesser like out of ten do three for your special ed students special education students that are in special education and then your ESL pictures Okay, so it was like four separate lessons when we did lab. Oh Fridays were movie day That was tough that is tough situation. It's a tough situation. I Cried every summer. I'm like Lord, please please and then I read in Psalms one And one translation it says, you know, whatever meditate on the word of the Lord day and night and whatever your hand touches shall prosper And I said, all right Lord I'm gonna test you on this and I'm going to read the word. I read it in the morning and I read it at night and I went through the Bible in one year. I had a little schedule and Most of it's especially in the Old Testament like numbers. I'm like, what am I even reading? I'm falling asleep I'm like just keep reading keep reading and this person be got that person and that person be got I don't just like the genealogies that long. I don't just like I just read just keep reading Just keep reading just keep reading, you know It was great the fall asleep too, but not great to wake up to in the morning So I did that That year of school was the same It's all right, but the next year The next year and I didn't want to go to that school I Offer I was offered a job in a high school and a position the coach basketball and I was like, yes This is that I'm gonna teach biology. I'm gonna coach. I'm gonna be at the high school level This is what I what I would the school for Yeah, I know the Lord said no Divinely close that door. I'm like, okay, okay, so I end up going back to the junior high school in central Phoenix Crying all the way like I don't want this Lord Yeah, so it was a principal. He was a backslidden Christian and He saw my resume saw Grand Canyon and said, let me show you the campus. I didn't even have to interview He just said come on Here's your classroom and for the next four years I Had favor I Am telling you everything my hand touched prospered. It was amazing I don't work in schools anymore so I can say this so every time we had a holiday I Would be like, you know Christmas, you know Christmas is about, you know, Christmas is really about And I would tell them and I had eight classes and I would tell all my eight Classrooms of students and I'm taking out a piece of paper if you'd like to write a little letter to Jesus Go ahead and do that now So I had kids get saved Easter. We talked about the resurrection. I mean, we had one girl I remember her name was a Michelle. I was the end of the school year and I was like, you know what tomorrow I don't have to come back for a whole two months. So I'm just gonna go for it It was my last eight period and this class I had I did I said if you want to receive Jesus into your heart On this half a sheet of put your heads down put your half a sheet of paper I gave them all paper. I said you write down Yes, I want you to come into my heart. Well this little girl She said yes that day She goes away goes home for Christmas break. She comes back the next school year now She's in ninth grade. So she's at the high school. She comes back to see me at the junior high school And she says miss I prayed that prayer and I told my family What you told us and Now we don't live in the shelter anymore And my dad stopped drinking Four years later she invited me to her graduation This was a beautiful little girl and you know It took courage to do it because you could lose your job But I felt empowered. I felt led by the spirit And I was and I made the right decision and it was great a lot of great things happened Some sad things happen to you my dad died during my season there I did meet a young lady that I mentored for a very long time Arlene and now she's She's a real estate agent now. She's she's done great things with her life. She's a Christian woman. She's beautiful. She's a Lover so proud of her I met her at that school and just a lot of great things happened But when it was time to stop I heard the Holy Spirit say no more And I obeyed And for whatever reason the door had closed That next school year that principal who I had tried to I tried to get him on the right path But he ended up getting in a lot of trouble. I think he went to jail actually he stole some stuff whatever I don't know he did bad stuff, but The door closed and I had to be quiet with the students anyway about my faith And I just had to show my character But that that is where I went back to school and got my master's in Counseling and it was just a great those people I still remember a lot of those people. They were just wonderful I was at a time of being well-watered One year and I'm not saying this always works out this way But if you will give God one year One year, it's not a lot of time And you meditate on his word day and night And you stay out of sin and You get yourself to church and you stay out of relationships with guys ladies Okay, you're single just take a break. Just take a break Give yourself at least a year and just dive in dive in He will move This is word you will become a tree planted by streams of living of water You will become that Watch what will happen. Oh my goodness. So it's great So there it is get into your Bible now stay there I want you to get in there and read John and Matthew and Mark those scriptures that are outlined So it's for the streamers. It's John chapter 14 15 16 Matthew chapter 8 and 9 for Jesus healing mentally ill people. It's mark chapter 5 That you read the whole thing is fine and then Matthew 828 Another example of Jesus healing, but why don't you just take a few weeks and just read that Take a break from your morning devotional Just take a little break from it Take a break From that take a break from where you're reading You're in the class if you can if you feel comfortable and encourage you take a break from it and read the letter the red letters of Jesus just read them I Know you will get revelation that you currently don't have It's his word. It's his promise so The next section in the workbook is on tongues. I'm not going to teach on this What I am going to do is just mentioned here that Jude 1 20 says Build yourselves up on your most holy faith praying in the Holy Spirit If read this article Mike wrote this article. It's from his website. Okay. That's in here Read it. It's an excellent little article about speaking in tongues and the various types of tongues so In the first Corinthians when Paul is talking to the Corinthians He he just had mentioned I believe yeah He just had talked about the gifts of the Spirit and it says various types of tongues With interpretation am I right? Okay Various means more than one So there is the spiritual gift of tongues and interpretation one So someone here someone, you know got up under us or whatever they do the tongues And then we should wait for an interpretation Somebody may have the gift of interpreting tongues. It's holy scriptural There's Praying in tongues and building yourself up. It's a private prayer now. We pray like I know everyone in here And we'll pray collectively in the Spirit, but we're all of the understanding of that if a stranger walked in and Heard us praying They would turn around walk out If a stranger walks in and here's the tongues and then the interpretation they may become curious And be like wow, that's amazing. How did that happen? Okay So this has various tongues. So I just I wonder this Mike talks about singing in the Holy Spirit and if you have never done it All you do is start speaking in tongues and you put a little hum to it Just a little just a little tune. I have a friend who takes Christmas songs that he's got memorized and he uses the tune to like silent night and then puts tongues to it He's like, I know that tune by heart. So I'll just use it like okay. That works for him I make up my own songs, but there's also we practice war tongues in here How many of you have tried that? War tongues remember we were like aggressively some people left early before we got to that part. That's alright That's alright, so war tongues is I'm not gonna demonstrate, but you know, it's you speak in tongues and then you Speak aggressively You know, you can have fun with it. You can go loud. You can go soft aggressive sing normal Various types of tongues. So I think it means yeah, it's very effective. I notice when If I'm praying for someone in my office or even in the sanctuary And I just start to pray in the spirit and if I get a little aggressive, man They're like, I'll stop it my ears You know the spirits in them don't like it. They hate it. They hate it. So it really has power So that's a good article by Mike and at the end it just says, you know If you're not doing it already speak in tongues throughout the day on and off You start to get racing thoughts pray in the spirit You frustrated praying the spirit get offended just go pray in spirit. Hey feeling anxious praying the spirit Do that aggressively when you're feeling anxious just get louder than the anxiety is what I say is that anxiety can be loud, right? Yeah. Oh, I can't remember my family. They don't understand go in the bathroom be really quiet They can hear the spirits of they've excellent hearing. You know, you don't have to be loud. You can be soft Barely, okay So that's that we I want you to get into the pigs in the parlor also, how many of you read that book? Okay You got to get one. Okay tonight. Let's get one tonight. I think I saw them in there. Yeah, I hope Okay, I hope so pigs in the parlor I think it's chapter 12 Am I right this hand chart? It's a chapter with this hand chart and it has some lists of different spirits, you know here at Hardcore Christianity or Arizona Deliverance Center We don't talk about spirits by like the name of the spirit Except we do do that with the Kundalini spirit. Okay, we do say that name But we really stay away from like the Leviathan or the Jezebel or Whatever else. I don't know what else is out there. Why? Well, we like to identify spirits by their symptom So if I say Leviathan come out and that person's never heard of it before How can they come in agreement with me? But if I say anger come out of there manipulation come out control Lying right if I'm saying that lying spirits come out of there. They can agree with me. It can be an agreement So that's why we do that. Thank you for asking question. Yeah This is a great one. So in the book it does talk about how And Mike talks about it too in this book that the goal of the spirits is to take over the mind and so even though this chart over here that double hands is Says the schizophrenic mind or the schizophrenic brain I think it says don't be put off by that because I don't know how schizophrenia. Don't worry about that. It's The spirits are trying to get that's the end game is to get to your mind completely Because if you don't have control of your mind, you don't have control of your will Right. We all still have free will and we can make our decisions and we can agree with the Holy Spirit But if our mind is taken then we don't have control over that Okay, so So that's Miracle of six and List number six and then tongues I think is Number 16 so if you don't have the miracle list that I'm working from so what I did was and I think I said this before But I'll reiterate Mike has a miracle list that if you give him an email, he'll send it to you One for you know regular troubled Christians and one for mentally ill and then in our lobby We have two lists one is titled steps to freedom. It's a shorter list and another one's called self-deliverance If you look at all four of those lists, they're basically the same with just a few exceptions What I did for the class to cover everybody I merged them If you want that complete list email me at steps to freedom ADC comm Sorry steps of freedom ADC at gmail.com just send me an email and I'll send it to you and Mary I got your email. I'll send it to you after tonight. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, send that to me that way You can go over it All right, that's good. I Picked up the cards. Are there Manila cards back there? Oh, yeah, could I have those? Thank you She doesn't want to be on camera. Okay, um, I thought it'd be fun. Do we have any cross-offs? You wrote on the card your prayer request and now you're ready to cross it off because it got answered Anybody anybody can you remember what you wrote? Yeah, I can pass them around Add it and cross it off. Yeah, sure. I don't know here if you want to look for I don't know who's is who's But any any healing prayer answers Anything anybody? Yes. Yes. Yes. I got healed and delivered from Vertigo Wow, how long were you struggling? Months and now you're not dizzy, you don't feel like falling over Great Oh, wow Yes, like I'm watching it just spin and spin Now you're healed. Praise God Awesome, that's big. Did you write that on the card? Yeah, Rindu gift of healing Yeah, yeah, the Lord does right right he uses that side It's awesome. Thank you You know deliverance is not a What gift of the Holy Spirit And not like healing is or Or the gift of wisdom or the gift of knowledge or discerning of spirits. It's not one of those gifts It's something that all believers are called to do It's part of the Great Commission deliverance Go into all the world right he says preach the gospel you did say cast out demons heal the sick Yes, he said in my name you will cast out demons. I was the first thing he said before healing Yeah, that's right and mark mark 16. So many people are like afraid of it. I Was afraid of it.
