 So two things, it's one thing to receive, but it's another thing to treasure, which means to esteem highly, and that seems to be the first step that is given here in this exhortation. If you receive my words and treasure my commands within you, that's Proverbs chapter two verses one and two. And Jeremiah 12 talks about, you know, to 12 and verse two almost actually talks about the Andrages chapter 12. If you look at verse two and the second part of it, it says, you are near in their mouth, but far from their mind. You are near in their mouth and far from their mind. So something's happening here at like the distinct, the difference between pronouncing or using the name of the Lord, taking up the name of the Lord and seeing the things that are right, sounding right, and what's happening deep within. And what the Lord is looking for is going beyond the superficial, going beyond what we can see and hear to the heart of the matter, which is what is going deep within. Are we treasuring? In addition to receiving, are we treasuring? The same thing we see here, Jeremiah is saying, you know, regard to the righteous, but it can happen very well happen to us as believers as well that we are in their mouth. I mean, he, his name isn't there in our mouths, but is it really, are we retaining in our minds as well, which means that our meditation thoughts and what occupies our minds, what occupies our imagination, right, is a Lord. Are we treasuring in that sense, right, the Word of God, the, the precepts of God, and everything else? Are we treasuring, right? So I just wanted to leave us with that question and as we pray today, right, so let's, let's pray. Father God, we, we come before you Lord, we're all humility God. We come before you Lord as, as we read your Word, as we read your Word just now. Lord, your desire for us, your desire for us is to, that we would receive first and foremost, and that we would treasure, that we would just not be calling upon your name, your name and your Word. Anyways, Lord, will not be just things that we speak out from our mouths, but really, oh God, that everything about your Word, the principles will take root in our minds, in our hearts, that there will be a treasuring, there will be an esteeming of who you are and your Word, your way is God, deep within us Lord, deep within us. Lord, enable us to do that even today, or if for some reason, if, if kind of moved away, if for some reason we have lost that sense of awe and wonder and, and God, if we have stopped treasuring you in our hearts, treasuring your Word in our hearts, Lord, I pray that we would come back to that place of treasuring God, of something of great immense value, priceless value, that we would treasure your Word, treasure your ways, treasure you in our hearts. Yes, Lord, we choose to do that this morning. We thank you in Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. Amen. Okay, hello to those who joined during the prayer. Yeah, let's continue from where we, where we ended last class. So we looked at, we were looking at restoration of our soul, right? Restoration of our mind, will, emotions, intellect, imagination and everything. We saw the problems of the soul and the various ways because of which there could be problems in that soul realm, that area and, and we saw that God's desire, God's will for us is that this area, very important area, be restored because it's going to drive, you know, all other areas and it's connected, so connected to our actions, so connected to the things that we, things that we plan and analyze and, and do and so our destiny itself, right? So it's so connected, so this area, God wants, wants us to thrive. You know, we saw that in 1 Thessalonians 5 and the last few verses where says that when may the God preserve, may our God preserve us whole spirit, soul and body, until it's coming again, may our soul, whole spirit, soul and body be preserved, blameless at the coming of our Lord. So that's, that's God's desire and will, right? So we saw that God wants to restore, but what is the basis for that restoration, right? What is the basis, meaning on what do we base our belief on, on what do we base our faith on, or this, you know, unshakable conviction that yes, God wants me to be well in this area, that I don't have to endure and suffer and just go through, but God wants me to be well in this area. So what do we base on? So obviously it's based on the word of God and we need to know where, you know, where it is, it's stated so we can, our faith can grow in this, so we can meditate on it and you can confess and we can be strong in this and not only for our own selves, but also for the sake of others, God entrusts to us or brings our way. So we can give be, you know, a source of hope, like we can be a vessel to bring hope, to bring restoration and healing, right? So we saw that God restores our soul and that's the testimony of the Psalmist, right? He says in Psalm 23 and he says that God restores my soul. So let me just share the notes. Excuse me. So Psalm 23 verse 3, the Psalmist says he restores my soul and he restores everything that is battered, that is hurting, the realm of my soul. He's the one who restores my soul and he brings it back to a place of thriving and flourishing. So what is the basis for that? We saw that it's a journey, it's a process, it can be instantaneous, but it is also a process, right? So healing and deliverance, emotional healing and deliverance is something that is provided, that is given to us on the rhythm to work of Christ on the cross, through the rhythm to work of Jesus on the cross, right? We see that, yes, we have received salvation, we received forgiveness of sins, we have, we are born again through the work of Christ, that the entire debt of sin was paid for and all that is, you know, we know all that is there because of the rhythm to work of the Lord on the cross. And we see that it includes this restoration, this healing of our emotions and deliverance, okay? So when we look at the finished work of the Lord on the cross, let's just go to Isaiah chapter 53, right? Isaiah, maybe we can just read from verses 3 onwards, let me just take it up here. Okay, Isaiah 53 verses 3, 4 and 5, right? So verse 5 is the one which talks about great transaction, that great exchange that happened, okay? So 53 was, 3 says, he is despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, and we hid as it were our faces from him, he was despised and did not esteem him, and we did not esteem him. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows, okay? He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows, okay? And when we look at the Hebrew there, means the word that is used there is the word which is translated into the English as graves, it means disease, it means sickness, right? It is also translated into anxiety and so on, right? So he has carried, he has borne our griefs and what does he carried? He has carried our sorrows, okay? And that word means grief, pain, okay? Grief or anguish of pain, mako, right? He has carried our sorrows. And it says that we did esteem him, stricken, smitten of God and afflicted, and he was wounded, he was bruised for our transgressions. So transgressions talking about great sin, he was bruised for our iniquities, right? So we see that, well, this is what happened. This is what the Lord carried for our sake. He carried the physical ailment, talks about sickness. He also carried our anguish, our sorrow, our grief, our pain, okay? And then we see that at the end of verse five that by his, I'm sorry, the punishment for our peace, the chastisement for our peace was upon him and by his stripes we are healed, by his stripes we are healed. Because of this great act of this work of redemption across, by this sacrifice, we are healed, okay? And that's the confidence that we have every time when we go and pray, right? And because of this finished work, whatever he purchased, whatever he redeemed us from, it is ours. So it says here that the cross actually provided, made a way for us to receive this healing for our emotions, healing for our deliverance, okay? So because of the work of the cross, let's look a little deeper into what is it that we are delivered from, right? Colossians one, verses 13 and 14, he has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of his Lord, in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sin. So it means that, you know, John 1010 talks about the Lord Jesus spoke of the agenda of the enemy, okay? Very clearly described John 10 verse 10, the thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly, okay? So there's a stealing and killing and destroying that is happening and stealing could be stealing of, you know, whatever, you know, physical health, emotional health and killing and destroying, right? All that God has instituted and all that is good, a perversion, a twisting of all that is good, the enemy comes to do that with the Lord has come that we might have life and life in its fullness, okay? So the cross talks about this great turnaround, this great transaction, exchange that has happened. So he has delivered us because of the cross, he has delivered us from the power of darkness, he has delivered us from the power of darkness, which means from the clutches of the enemy, from the influence of the enemy, he has delivered us and he has conveyed us into light, into the kingdom of the Son of the light. So when we talk about kingdom, we are talking about rule, we are talking about rule and reign and the scripture says that, okay, he has conveyed us into the rule and reign of the Son, right? So that's wonderful news and that's because of the cross. Let me just open up 13 Colossians 113, okay? From the power of darkness. I just want to look at that word power, which is, you know, delegated authority from the exusia or the delegated authority or the, or we could say from the capacity, from the potential, from the influence of the enemy, right? So he has delivered us and where has he conveyed us? He has conveyed us into the rule and reign, the realm of the Son's reign, he has conveyed us into this kingdom, okay? So, well, Satan has no influence or no right over us. The, the level of influence that the enemy has is, is the kind of permission that we give the enemy. Now it can happen through a lie. We believe a lie, we give the enemy authority or influence over our lives. Maybe we are, we are tempted, we are, you know, we give in and we give in to the influence of the enemy. Maybe we are deceived, we give in to the interests of the enemy. Maybe we are intimidated, you know, so fear, we are in fear, something that the enemy might do, we give in to the influence of the enemy, right? So we see that the level of influence that the enemy has is directly proportional to, you know, what we allow, what we have given, which is why we see that we need to stand strong, right? Resist, which means to stand strong and say no, and submit, submit to God, submit, come under the leadership, come under the, you know, the, the authority, the rule and reign, the realm of the rule and reign of the king, submit to God, submit to his lordship, submit to the authority of the word, submit to the influence of the Holy Spirit. And it's a dual responsibility, resist and he will, the enemy will flee, right? So, so Colossians 113 talks about that and he has conveyed as he's already done it because the work of the cross. So, so the enemy does not have influence over our lives, the enemy does not have any kind of authority over our lives, right? We need to be firm about that, we need to be convinced, convinced, convicted and convinced about that. Acts chapter 26 and verse 18, right? So this is the reason he came. This is what he did. Let's read verse 18. So, so Paul is actually talking, sharing his testimony, right? He's sharing his testimony and, and he's talking about the whole thing that happened on the way to Damascus and he's having this conversation with King Agrippa. So, so that's, that's a context in which he says this, he recounts the words of the Lord Jesus and it says here, let's say it's read from verse 15 onwards. So I said, who are you Lord? And he said, I'm Jesus whom you're persecuting but rise and stand on your feet for I have appeared to you for this purpose to make you a minister and witness both of the things which you've seen and of things which I will yet reveal to you. I will deliver you from the Jewish people as well as from the Gentiles to whom I send you now to open their eyes in order to turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me. Okay. So Lord is actually commissioning Paul who's just having an encounter and saying, you know, this is what I'm sending you to, you know, I'm sending you to the, I will deliver you and I'm sending you. This is what I want to do. I want to open their eyes in order to turn them from darkness to light. Okay. Open the eyes of the understanding, give them revelation and so that they are not spiritually blind anymore that they get their understanding to turn them from darkness to light, which means this is it. This is the contrast from the power of Satan to God from the power of Satan from the hold of Satan to God himself that they may receive forgiveness and so on. So, so this is the, this is the reason that he died on the cross. And this is what he accomplished on the cross, the work of the cross. So you see, it goes a lot deeper and it's not, yes, it, it, you know, the work of the cross justifies us. So one time thing, but also as we go through life, as we get this understanding that, yes, I'm in a different, I'm under a different authority now. I'm no longer under that authority and no longer under that influence. Then you might try, and you might try to make some inroads in all this, but and it, but it's all come to an end because I have been conveyed into a different authority to an authority of the, of God. Right. So we, we understand that. Okay. Let's look at Romans five and verse 12. Romans five and verse 12. Through one man, sin entered the world and death through sin. And thus death spread to all men because all sinned talks about the source talks about the entry of the influence of the enemy. Right. And you look at verse chapter six and verse six and also verse 14. What does it say, knowing this, that our old man was crucified within that the body of sin might be done away with that we should no longer be slaves of sin. So we should no longer be slaves of sin, no longer be under the authority or the influence of sin. Verse 14. For sin shall not have dominion over you for you are not under law, but under grace. So there's been a change. There's been a change of dispensation. There's a change of ownership. There's a change of influence. So sin shall not have dominion over you for you are under grace. Okay. So just like the first, through the first man, Adam, through the first Adam, we have come under all the entire humanity came under the authority and the influence of the enemy through the last Adam. We have been purchased. We've been taken back. Right. So it includes our emotional health and well-being. It includes, you know, all that. So we see that we've been taken from darkness into the same goes for generational bondages and things from what is handed over from generation to generation. Maybe let's just read first Peter chapter 1 and verse 18 where it says, knowing that you were not redeemed from corruptible things like silver or gold from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers. Talks about the previous generation, what you received, what you received by either teaching what you received otherwise just handed over from generation to generation, but you were actually redeemed from corruptible. We're not redeemed with corruptible things, but it's, it talks about, but with the verse 19 talks about the precious blood of Christ as of a land without a spot. Okay. So we've been taken from darkness into light. The second thing is from curse to blessing. Okay. So the redemptive work of the Lord on the cross has moved us out, taken us out from the curse of the law. Okay. When you look at the curse of the law, it means that, okay, we saw that, okay, a curse is like a negative blessing bringing in negative things into our lives, a promise of negative things into our lives. Blessing is a promise of good things that God has in store for us, bringing it, bringing that into our lives. Galatians 3, 13, 14 says Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. Okay. And it's, it's amazing when we actually consider the work of the cross and we consider what we have through the cross, what we have come into because of the cross, what we are receiving, continuing to receive because of the cross. It's amazing. Right. So from curse to blessing, Christ has redeemed us because of the law. Verse 14, that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Okay. That the blessing of Abraham might come upon, you know. So this great exchange, we have, instead of the curse, we have received the blessing. Galatians 2 and verse 14, having wiped out, this is what he did on the cross, he wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us, and he has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. So the law gave us the standard. The law, in a way, was actually protective, gave us the boundary, but the law also had consequences, or had consequences, or the disobedient was met with consequences. And we see that list in the Utronomy 28, the consequence of obedience, which means blessing, and the consequence of disobedience, which is all these curses. And you see, look at this blessing, and you look at the curse. It affects all realms, financially, relationally, materially, physically, emotionally, and so on. So you see that it is actually a wholesome package. If you look at the curse, you understand, oh yeah, it's actually, all these areas of my life are actually open to the curse, or we're open to the curse of the law. And now that I'm redeemed, all these areas of my life are now coming under this realm of blessing, because of the cross. So we see that, yeah, I have actually been taken out from darkness into light. I have been taken out from curse to blessing. The third thing that we see is that the defeat of Satan. The defeat of Satan and Christ's victory over Satan is our victory, because he has actually handed over that victory to the cross, on the cross, to the Church. Because we walk in the victory that he has actually got for us. You know, Isaiah 53-12 talks about the fact that he was poured out, his soul was poured out unto death, and he was numbered with the transgressors and so on. The easy to read version says this, I will treat him as one of my people, I will give him the rewards of one who wins in battle, and he will share them with his powerful ones. He will divide the spoil, that's the old English, and he will share them, he will share the rewards with his powerful ones. So the victory that he got, he shared that reward with us. Colossians 2 and verse 15, having disarmed principalities and powers, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. Hebrews 2 verses 14 and 15, inasmuch as then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself, likewise, shared in the same that through death, he might destroy him who had the power of death, that is the devil, and release those who, through fear of death, were all their lifetimes subject to bondage. It's talking about us. Releasing from the fear of death or the torment of death, fear is torment, anguish in the emotional realm, fear of death, all the while subject to bondage because of this fear, being in a place of imprisonment. So we have been set free and we have been released into this newness. So let's just go with it again. We have received wholeness. We have been released from darkness into light, conveyed into light, and from all the realm of every curse we have been released into, blessing. And all this has happened because of the finished work of the cross. And about the victory that he won for us is actually, the victory that he won over Satan is our victory. That victory is ours as the body of Christ, as the one who has given us his authority to that victory is ours as well. So this is something for us to internalize. This is something for us to take note of and walk in. Whenever there is torment, whenever there is something that we see that is going on a downward spiral in the realm of our emotions and the realm of our thoughts, we need to understand that the work of the cross covers this as well. The work of the cross, the reach of the work of the cross, the finished work of the cross, the reach of the victory is in this area also. The redemption is in this area also. So that's why we can boldly, unashamedly, without any doubt, receive and expect and have faith for things to change in the whatever sickness of the soul that we talked about. And we can minister the same because Christ did for us, Christ did for the one to whom you are ministering and praying and that they can also journey into wholeness. Now let's look at the new creation life. So we looked at one of the foundations for emotional and wholeness, which is the finished work of the cross. The second thing is the very fact that we are new creations in Christ Jesus. We have new creation in Christ Jesus, which means that we have received something because of what happened. We have been made new. First thing is the cross has changed. There's a lot of things. We have access to new things. We have been conveyed into a new area of authority and we have come under new authority. So here the new creation itself, talking about us personally, 2nd Corinthians 5 verse 17 and 18, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. All things have passed away because behold, all things have become new. All things are of God. So we have been transformed. We have been conformed to the image of Christ, so which means that everything that is not of him. Now this is important. We are any creation. We know that in the soul realm, we have new creation in our spirit. We know that the soul realm was left untouched. We know that that is because of free will. Now that undrenewed or untouched part of us, when we came into the kingdom, when we became new creations, now we have the freedom and the authority to submit to God. We have the freedom and authority to renew it, to renovate it with the word of God and by the power of the Holy Spirit. So we see certain things in us and we're not really proud of it. We see certain things and we are actually we are ashamed. Certain habits, certain personality traits, can that change? So we need to stop saying that I am like this only. I am like this only and really blame it and then really settle for that realm of life. This God has called us to a higher realm. We are new creations. So we don't have to settle for anything less than what he has called us for, what he has invited us for. So we are new creations and born again. Yes, I'm born again in the spirit and we've learned about all that we have become in Christ, all the wonderful things that we are victorious and so on. But we also know that the soul realm needs to experience this. The soul realm needs to be renewed to this truth. So all that, the enemy maybe has made inroads, all that the enemy has maybe not just the enemy but it could be even our own fleshly understanding or flesh, the choices that we have made in the flesh because of our unrenewed thinking. Now we know that we can change. That is possible to change because we are new creations. So this stubborn thing, this stubborn thinking, this stubborn temperament, this tendency, this inclination to blow up, this inclination to alienate oneself, this tendency to just shut myself and this coping mechanism that they've picked up over the years or this trauma and this traumatic event that happened and has a fallout of that, these things that I'm experiencing in my life which is so deeply affected personality. Well, that doesn't have to be there. That can change. Why? Because I'm a new creation. All things have passed away. All things have become new. My appetite can change. My desire, my action, my imagination, everything can change and will change when I continue to, and I'm just going back to Romans 6 when I continue to present every member to him. And Romans 12 talks about how we can renew. So maybe things are so very weak in certain areas of our minds. We just get so weary and tired and we even start thinking about certain things and of the past. The fact is this, Romans 6 verse 13, do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. Presenting, which means to consecrate, which means to surrender, to yield every member as an instrument of righteousness to him. And then he talks about the outworking of that, that sin cannot have dominion over. So many times we think over that and then we think of action, that sin, an outworking of sin and an act of sin. Well, certain things that the sin has influence under also comes under that, in the sense that maybe things that are withholding us back from really walking in the fullness of what God wants us to, things that are withholding us, things that are restraining us really in the emotional realm. When things change in our mind and our emotions, then we see that things change in our life and action. That's why Paul says in Romans 12 very clearly, be transformed. So we're going to be looking at that again. He says be transformed by the, there is transformation, there is transformation that is possible, there is transformation that is available and it's all tied down to the realm of our soul. Be transformed by the renewing of our mind. So we can either conform to the world by not renewing or we can be conformed to the image, new creation image by renewing our mind, our soul. So we see that we are consecrated, we are purchased, we are redeemed and all the good things that have happened because of who we are in Christ because we are new creation. So that's another basis. Why we can say that, yes, this is the basis for my restoration, the restoration of my soul. This is the basis for that. And I could boldly, very boldly step up and say, yes, I'm receiving this. I can pray for this. I can work towards this and it's not, it's not something that is against the will of God. It is something that Christ, it is there in the Word, Word of God. It is very scriptural. It is something that I can be, I can be, I can be fully confident of and I could expect change to happen. So the thing is this, that when we know that this is the possibility, this is how change can happen. So then the thing is that the key for change, the key for restoration is not modification of behavior. In one sense it is. Some certain choices that we, so we see that it's much deeper. It is at the thought level. It is at the level of emotions. It at the level of receiving revelation and being convinced and acting out of it. So without the receiving of this revelation, without the receiving of this understanding, like when we try to change our, modify our behavior, there is no power because it's not based on truth. It could be based on fear. I must do this. It could be based on, I'll do this and then I'll be accepted. It's not based on truth. It's based on a lie. It's based on fear. It's based on torment, maybe. But when I base it on truth, when we base it on this revelation of what has happened to us, what was done for us, then when it's based on truth, then there is power. Okay, so we'll just pause here a bit before we go into the next one, which is authority. Any questions or any thoughts that you might have? We are looking at the basis for restoration. Any questions? Any thoughts at all, anything that you might want to share? Okay, so this is great news because we see, maybe as a minister of God, as ministers of God, we see that there are some subun things in people and people are unwilling to change and we've just tried. We've tried telling them. We've tried showing them. It's not happening. We tried maybe threatening them, told them, okay, this is the rule we need to follow. Then things happen. When we go a little deeper and expose people to the truth and expose people to what the potential they can be or the potential that they have as new creation, what they have become, what they have actually had, this is actually who you are. The life that you're living or the kind of life that you're living restrained by your emotions and restrained by your fears is not the life that you're called to live. The people themselves are really frustrated when they live a life far below what they're called to live. When we expose them to the truth and when they get a revelation of the truth, then there is the inspired change and not only just inspired because inspiration out empowerment will just fade away, but there's no consistent action that happens. Somebody asked a question? Yes. So Pastor, if you're exposing someone to the truth and let's say you've been doing that for years. I've been doing that for a girl for years and you can't see any change and sometimes you go them seeing worse. If you didn't speak with them for a month, you see them getting worse, but sometimes you feel like it's the same thing over and over again. It's not a very different thing as also, but it's the same thing that they are struggling with over and over and over again. And sometimes I think I get fed up like how many times should I say it? So in that point, what do you actually do? What we should actually do? Yeah. So to really find out what are the triggers, maybe what you're saying is that you've explored all those options. Explored all those options, what the triggers are, what is causing them to go back into the cycle of sin and defeat and again that cycle of failure and so on. So the thing is to say, okay, I've explored all these options and then I have given them this, but still there are two things. Are they unable to? Okay, because sometimes it's okay, we know that the flesh actually lusts against the spirit and contends against the work of the spirit. So it is a fight to see whether is that fight still on or are they unable to? Or is it the problem of a choice, a decision? They do not want to. If they don't want to, then we can't do anything. Even God can't. If they don't want to, there's nothing we can do. We can only inspire, motivate, encourage, which is what God does. What the Holy Spirit does, he inspires, he prompts, he convicts and all that, but if a person is so hardened and they do not want to, then I can't do anything. That's the sad reality. That's the sad truth. Whatever, if a person is willing, from that place of not wanting to do anything, they come to a place of, even if I'm willing to give it 5%, I mean, there's a 5% chance there of saying, okay, I'm open. Then there is every possibility of change. And probably the person is also not got a grip of all this. This has happened. So maybe they're trying to do things, striving to do things, maybe they're also trying to modify behavior, but in the thought realm, it's still not happened. Yeah, that's the thing. Okay, best. Thank you. Okay. Any other questions? Okay, so let's look at just one more thing, probably we have a couple of minutes. So let's look at. So what we have also received is the authority. Okay, we have been given that authority, delegated authority by the Lord Himself to resist the enemy, not just to resist, not tolerate, to actually evict, and give that eviction notice and say, you are no longer welcome. Pack your bags and leave. This area, this room, you've been staying and you've been messing things up, you've been making noise, you've been troubling, you've been playing the music way too loud when I want to sleep, and you've been creating all kinds of things. You've been knocking on the door, you've been making noise. When I want to rest, you are no longer welcome. You have no right to remain. Now that authority, the Lord has given to us, which is something wonderful. Right? So that authority to expel, that authority to evict the work of the enemy, whoever's carrying out that work, that authority, the enemy has, I mean, the Lord has given us. Now that authority to cast out the demonic work in our own lives, maybe the enemies are pressing in the area of our thought-like compulsive things. To break that compulsive torment, the Lord has given us the authority to speak, to evict. Mark 16, 17 and 18, these signs will follow those who believe, in my name, they will cast out demons. These signs will follow those who believe, in my name, they will cast out demons. So, and you know, the rest, they will speak of new tongues, take a serpent to drink everything, anything deadly to them by no means harm them. They will lay hands on the sick and they will recover. So all that follows. But this is it, that we have been given the authority. So in my name is meaning that in his place, in his place, in his authority. Question, what is the best way not to be offended of things one used to get it offended earlier? It seems to be an area of tree, but if it still bothers once in a while, okay, best way not to be offended is, I mean, a lot of things, but then one thing is to ask the Lord to give us eyes and heart to see people the way he sees, you know. So when we see people the way he sees, we will not, you know, take those words too hard. Sometimes we take ourselves very seriously and we get offended by the words of people. So I would say that, but I think you can actually go through that book on offense. So I think that will be helpful. You can go through that. But offhand, I just, you know, asking God to give us that eyes and hear eyes and heart, which means his perspective of the people, very people who are repeatedly, you know, saying things, doing things. And so we get offended because of that. So to give us that, you know, and to keep that fresh before our eyes. So that would be it. Yeah. Okay, so we'll stop here and we'll meet again in tomorrow's class. Okay. Right. God bless. See you guys. Bye-bye. Thank you, Pastor. Thank you, Pastor. Bye-bye. Take care.
