so this week that we are concluding this00:01:32
today00:01:40
so today's theme is a Praying life or00:01:44
having the altar of Prayer in your heart00:02:00
[Music]00:02:01
as you know we don't have a place to00:02:04
Fellowship during the week we would have00:02:05
spent more time reading it and studying00:02:08
it but let's give a summary for this00:02:09
week00:02:17
we are going to study the praying life00:02:20
or the author of Prayer in your heart00:02:28
let's read Luke 2 36-3800:02:34
foreign00:02:49
of the tribe of Usher she was of great00:02:52
age and had lived with her husband seven00:02:54
years from her virginity00:03:03
[Music]00:03:06
and this woman was a widow of about 8400:03:10
years who did not depart from the temple00:03:12
but serve god with fastings and prayers00:03:15
night and day yes00:03:24
and coming in that instance she gave00:03:26
thanks to the Lord and spoke of him to00:03:28
all those who looked for redemption in00:03:30
Jerusalem00:03:35
let's read Daniel 6 11 6 10.00:03:55
amen now when Daniel learned that the00:03:58
decree had been published he went home00:04:00
to his upstairs room where the widows00:04:03
opened towards Jerusalem the window00:04:05
opened towards Jerusalem three times a00:04:07
day he got down on his knees and prayed00:04:09
giving thanks to his God just as he had00:04:11
done before00:04:14
let's start with Daniel and then talk00:04:17
about Hannah00:04:22
was very busy year after00:04:26
that00:04:28
he had so much work more than all of us00:04:31
combined in this in this house00:04:36
in the Kingdom of Babylon00:04:39
foreign00:04:46
Daniel was second in command00:04:50
he was very great00:05:01
according to the kingdom of Babylon but00:05:03
it was actually the Persian Kingdom in00:05:05
the time of Darius00:05:11
and the Persians00:05:18
they had a great Kingdom from Asia to00:05:21
Africa00:05:23
from India to Ethiopia yeah00:05:31
he was like the Prime Minister except00:05:34
for the king he was the one in charge of00:05:35
everything00:05:38
and he had great00:05:41
honored00:05:51
and he was also very busy because he had00:05:54
to combine all the reports from all the00:05:56
trees and bring it to the king a candy00:05:59
charities00:06:28
it was a difficult time like not not00:06:30
like today because there was no social00:06:33
media there was no technology people had00:06:35
to bring messages in person and he had00:06:38
no time to sleep00:06:43
had put a schedule for himself00:06:48
he said whatever happens00:06:52
there will be an author of Prayer in my00:06:55
heart00:06:58
I will not allow my heart to dwell on00:07:01
anything else00:07:03
and he had many enemies who fought00:07:06
against me00:07:07
in this chapter six00:07:15
they started to plot against Daniel00:07:17
since the day he ascended00:07:21
and he got to a point where the plotting00:07:24
was too much00:07:28
and even the king signed the decree to00:07:31
kill him00:07:32
the king himself knew00:07:35
that Daniel was being mistreated00:07:39
but he had no power to speak on his00:07:42
behalf because00:07:44
they had trapped the king00:07:47
they said00:07:50
we want to worship you alone00:07:55
and they knew that Daniel will never00:07:57
worship Him00:07:59
and the King said that's fine but did00:08:02
not know because00:08:09
and they say we will no longer worship00:08:12
any idols who only worship you for the00:08:15
whole month they brought the decrease and they say00:08:19
sign foreign00:08:35
oh no then um00:08:39
and then they he signed the decree00:08:42
but then00:08:45
they knew that he prayed in the morning00:08:47
in the afternoon and in the evening00:08:51
they had examined his life00:08:54
[Music]00:08:56
and they found that Daniel in prayer was00:08:59
Inseparable00:09:03
that meant in him he had an altar that00:09:06
never quenched00:09:08
and that's the author that they accused00:09:10
him00:09:11
but they forgot um00:09:15
the one whose author it is has more00:09:19
power than them00:09:20
the king signed00:09:22
and they00:09:25
say we caught him00:09:28
and the King said no00:09:35
you have brought Daniel say00:09:40
and they said Daniel cannot die00:09:48
um00:09:52
they brought the constitution of the00:09:54
Persians and the Medics and they say00:09:55
even knew the king cannot undo a decree00:09:59
we believe00:10:04
in the Constitution he says once the00:10:07
king decrees even the king himself00:10:09
cannot remove the decree00:10:12
and he fought for him the whole night00:10:16
and it was impossible and00:10:20
told him he did it is letters and the00:10:22
Persians00:10:29
he looked at the ground00:10:32
and he said yes go and kill him00:10:37
a man who served him very well00:10:40
a man who was never corrupted00:10:43
a truthful person in the country00:10:47
Lord God and the king00:10:49
and he loved to work00:10:53
and he's going to die and the King00:10:56
cannot save00:11:03
if you have an altar in your heart the00:11:06
one you made the utter for will save you00:11:08
no matter what00:11:10
they threw him in00:11:12
and then they told the king charity00:11:22
and it was a big pit and they taught the00:11:25
king to sign with this with his00:11:28
no one will remove the stone and he was00:11:31
in the in the night they threw him00:11:34
inside00:11:39
over the00:11:41
Arata and he went home00:11:44
he couldn't sleep00:11:46
and he thought about Daniel00:11:49
is00:11:51
and he found out what people plotted00:11:54
against him00:11:58
and in the morning he woke up alone00:12:02
he removed the stone00:12:08
and if God for Daniel and asked him00:12:12
then your servant of God00:12:17
he said servant of God00:12:23
the god you served did he save you00:12:26
because I couldn't save you00:12:40
Hallelujah and he responded he saved me00:12:43
because I did not sin against you or him00:12:47
um00:13:01
he sent his Angel and crossed the mass00:13:04
of the lion and I slept in peace because00:13:07
I did not sin against you00:13:11
and the King decreed to remove him00:13:13
did00:13:16
and he took all the people who were00:13:19
protein00:13:21
even the ones who did not come to them00:13:25
even the children were laughing at them00:13:29
and he said bring them into the peace00:13:33
the Bible says00:13:47
foreign in such a way that the the Lions00:13:50
tore them apart while they were still in00:13:53
the air00:13:57
the altar of Prayer00:14:00
no boss00:14:07
play with anyone you want but if you get00:14:10
to someone who has an out of prayer be00:14:12
quiet00:14:16
gossip about anyone else but someone who00:14:20
prays00:14:23
[Music]00:14:26
he has an advocate he speaks to in the00:14:29
secret00:14:32
this was Daniel who continued with00:14:34
Hannah00:14:36
because what I want to teach you00:14:40
this is just a historic perspective00:14:46
there was a daughter of the family of00:14:49
ashes in the New Testament Anna00:14:53
her name was Anna00:14:55
yeah00:14:58
she was the daughter of Faneuil00:15:03
he got to a point where she got married00:15:07
in the east00:15:09
um00:15:13
a girl would get married at 14 or 1500:15:16
years old00:15:22
[Music]00:15:25
1718 it would have been too late for00:15:28
them together00:15:44
today's00:15:49
girls can get married even at 40 at 7000:15:52
and they can even give birth later so it00:15:54
is not a problem00:15:56
the Bible says00:15:58
this daughter00:16:01
was a prophetess00:16:04
was she born as a prophetess00:16:08
I don't think so00:16:13
yeah00:16:14
foreign00:16:22
the last one was John the Baptist00:16:26
why are they bringing this woman00:16:30
they have brought her among the numbers00:16:32
of the prophets there are reasons00:16:38
the Bible talks about the bad history00:16:41
she went through00:16:43
anything00:16:47
she was of a failure of the of00:16:51
Usher and she was of great Aid she was00:16:54
the daughter of annual00:17:07
she00:17:16
gets married at 15.00:17:19
she has a husband for seven years00:17:24
is now a widow at 22.00:17:27
at 22 years00:17:33
at 22 years old your daughter is still00:17:36
in your house and the others in this00:17:38
time were already being widowed00:17:44
being a widow in Israel00:17:46
welcome is00:17:48
you continue to belong to the In-laws00:17:52
family00:17:59
about you a family your family a family00:18:04
member would redeem you but if no one00:18:07
was available to redeem you you remain00:18:09
in their family00:18:16
is00:18:26
in today's world a person can be a widow00:18:30
and after a few years they get married00:18:31
even with children but back then it00:18:34
wasn't the case00:18:35
foreign00:19:00
when she got widowed at 22 years she00:19:05
transformed her life00:19:07
and she said00:19:11
I have no other rescue man except from00:19:15
God00:19:17
I'm going to go to the temple the Bible00:19:21
says00:19:31
she spent 84 years old she was 84 years00:19:36
old and did not depart from the temple00:19:38
and serve god with fastings and prayers00:19:40
night and day00:19:44
now say that the sorrow I have00:19:46
power the rejection00:19:48
the problems00:19:51
no one else will solve them00:19:53
I'm going to go to the temple00:19:57
and I will turn my heart into the art of00:20:00
prayers00:20:04
anything evil that will come into my00:20:07
heart will be burned by the fire00:20:10
I will not allow anything to come into00:20:13
me00:20:14
for that is00:20:18
caused me to have diseases that I00:20:20
shouldn't have00:20:23
he will cause me to lose my mind00:20:26
foreign00:20:36
I'm going to put a burning altar in my00:20:38
heart so that every bad thought every00:20:41
bad news will be burned and I will keep00:20:43
my peace00:20:51
she was 84 years00:20:55
take 84 years00:21:02
last 22 years00:21:08
the day Mary and Joseph00:21:11
brought Jesus00:21:25
she was the first evangelist and the00:21:27
first prophet to say that this is Jesus00:21:30
even before the Angels00:21:33
this is the00:21:47
heart was rejoicing00:21:50
she was always in the temple worshiping00:21:53
God00:21:54
fasting00:21:55
[Music]00:21:59
for 84 years00:22:09
they included her00:22:13
she was recorded in the Bible00:22:17
now00:22:23
if you put an author of Prayer in your00:22:26
heart there will be a book where you'll00:22:28
be written00:22:31
whether it's then then00:22:37
in their hearts00:22:44
and this altar help them to commune with00:22:48
God00:22:56
in summary00:22:59
the altar00:23:01
knee00:23:11
um00:23:16
it is a setting where people prepare00:23:18
wood and fire and the smoke goes up and00:23:22
they also offer sacrifices00:23:26
blah blah blah00:23:30
blah blah in Shepherd's terms00:23:34
the altar00:23:36
and00:23:38
um00:23:56
[Music]00:24:25
[Music]00:24:29
Gmail is00:24:40
so the altar is a fire that the00:24:43
Shepherds would put wood in so that the00:24:46
smoke would chase away the Flies and00:24:48
once the Flies are chased away the cows00:24:51
will be resting and eat their food and00:24:53
remunerate their food so that they can00:24:55
have uh they can bring good milk00:24:59
so the the outer or the uh00:25:08
allows the cat to have good communion00:25:11
with the food so that it can use it00:25:14
properly Nico began00:25:18
spiritually or religiously00:25:22
[Music]00:25:27
is the gate that connects the one who00:25:30
offers the sacrifice and the one who00:25:32
receives the sacrifice00:25:36
whether it's a spirit whether it's a00:25:38
demon whether it's God means00:25:56
[Music]00:26:05
so a long time ago they used to put meat00:26:08
or things in our heart so that it can be00:26:11
offered to spirits that they are trying00:26:13
to connect to and that was considered an00:26:15
altar Abraham when Abraham got to Canaan00:26:18
you00:26:20
my diamond00:26:21
found that the nation was full of demons00:26:28
and everywhere he would go he will have00:26:30
an altar to connect him with God00:26:46
there was a window that connected Earth00:26:49
and Heaven00:26:52
so the author of the heart we00:26:58
communion through prayer between you and00:27:01
your God as someone we are saying00:27:03
can someone pray all the time yes00:27:07
and no yes yes00:27:18
[Music]00:27:25
[Music]00:27:36
when you are sleeping you can tell the00:27:38
Holy Spirit to pray on your behalf but00:27:40
when you are awake even though you are00:27:42
working you can pray in your heart and00:27:44
continue to commune with God that will00:27:47
prevent you from having bad thoughts and00:27:49
bad energy00:27:51
you can pray all the time00:27:53
through the Holy Spirit00:27:57
no someone cannot pray all the time00:28:01
I'm talking about physical00:28:03
you can get to a time with you00:28:07
at that time you are not praying00:28:13
they will tell the Holy Spirit I'm going00:28:15
to sleep continue to pray Holy Spirit00:28:19
continue to light the fire00:28:23
or I'm with people who are important00:28:27
I will not be able to pray00:28:32
Holy Spirit continue to pray00:28:44
um00:28:54
the holy spirit is your partner you can00:28:56
tell the Holy Spirit pray while I'm00:28:58
doing this and he's going to ask you to00:29:00
take over after you finish and you can00:29:03
be in prayer all the time when you are00:29:05
working with the holy spirit00:29:06
[Music]00:29:07
so my teachings00:29:11
that I want you to understand and other00:29:13
people to understand00:29:20
but I will talk about what fights00:29:23
against the others00:29:25
why does someone not have that altar in00:29:28
their heart00:29:29
what prevents people to not have the00:29:32
ultimate when you understand00:29:36
you will spend these 40 days praying00:29:41
Nick what causes someone to not have the00:29:44
altar make it00:29:48
what allowed Daniel to pray among00:29:50
enemies00:29:52
and he continued to love them and work00:29:54
with them00:29:56
[Music]00:29:59
what allowed Anna to continue to pray00:30:02
despite being a widow is00:30:17
when you read uh the apocryph book they00:30:21
said that this Anna was the mother of00:30:24
Mary [Music]00:30:26
Traditions00:30:29
whether it's her or not00:30:31
she is a mother who suffers00:30:34
but refused the sufferings00:30:39
she refused to always dwell on herself00:30:44
foreign00:30:51
[Music]00:30:57
[Music]00:31:22
she had 22 years old00:31:30
[Music]00:31:39
what is their secret00:31:42
s00:31:45
what fights against the altar of the00:31:48
heart00:31:50
this is00:31:57
the root of all of them00:32:05
it is called the root of bitterness00:32:09
[Music]00:32:10
the root of bitterness00:32:15
repeat the root of bitterness00:32:24
125000:32:27
um00:32:31
Hebrews 12 1500:32:34
it says foreign00:32:50
looking carefully lest anyone fall short00:32:54
of the grace of God lest any root of00:32:56
bitterness springing up causes trouble00:32:59
and by this many become defiled00:33:04
foreign00:33:31
but how is this root of bitterness00:33:36
foreign00:34:07
[Music]00:34:17
you would see that among the people00:34:20
brought if he's among them00:34:23
now you are plotting against me if00:34:28
uh00:34:30
you broke the decree of the king it's00:34:34
okay and he'll say that's not a problem00:34:36
if00:34:38
may you continue to uh00:34:41
to allow to obey this00:34:44
he never in his life00:34:49
to fit00:34:53
never in his life allowed a root of00:34:56
bitterness or bitterness in his heart00:34:58
many problems we have are caused by00:35:00
bitterness00:35:03
came as an example00:35:09
we know who Bewitched your husband00:35:12
[Music]00:35:14
yeah and she responded it is00:35:20
the one who Bewitched my husband00:35:23
and she would say hallelujah he's in00:35:25
heaven00:35:28
in her she always praised God00:35:42
Bewitched they poisoned your husband and00:35:44
you are saying hallelujah00:35:46
and she said yes very much he is00:35:52
and I will join him one day00:35:56
she never allowed gossip to enter her00:36:00
mind00:36:08
when you have bitterness in your heart00:36:10
the altar cannot be established I hope00:36:14
again00:36:16
but there are other things that take00:36:18
place that I'm going to share00:36:21
many people became great00:36:25
are the ones who hear things but don't00:36:27
dwell on them00:36:29
they come into one ear it's not because00:36:33
it doesn't enter00:36:34
but they come out right away00:36:39
they have no time to keep a new useless00:36:42
things in them00:36:44
if someone tells me00:36:46
it was00:36:48
your shot00:36:52
would I have a problem00:36:55
or if you say I am tall is that a00:36:57
problem you are ugly00:37:00
I know I'm handsome is that a problem00:37:07
yet I have a good heart00:37:10
the issue we have no questions00:37:18
foreign00:37:37
[Music]00:37:55
it brings what's called thorns00:37:59
he produces Stones second00:38:03
um00:38:06
produces the heart's foreskin00:38:11
if you don't remove the root of00:38:13
bitterness00:38:15
it will create thorns in your heart00:38:19
secondly00:38:26
it will bring a big and large foreskin00:38:30
to cover someone's heart00:38:36
let's look at Jeremiah 4.00:38:40
Jeremiah 4 3-400:38:43
um00:38:46
two things00:38:48
and the hearts foreskin00:38:54
Jeremiah 4 300:38:59
even if00:39:07
for that says the Lord to the men of00:39:10
Judah in Jerusalem break up your fallow00:39:13
ground and do not sow among Thorns verse00:39:24
circumcise yourselves to the Lord and00:39:27
take away the foreskins of your hearts00:39:31
let me talk about the Thorns first00:39:35
Jeremiah says00:39:38
do not saw among thorns00:39:41
he also says00:39:46
to circumcise ourselves to the Lord and00:39:49
remove these four skins00:39:52
what does it mean to not sow into songs00:39:56
um00:40:06
foreign00:40:20
foreign00:40:53
do not plant your good resolution into00:40:57
our heart filled up with the roots of00:40:59
thorns but first wake up the soul and00:41:03
clear it of nauseous germs and then sow00:41:06
the seed which will grow up into our00:41:08
holy life00:41:12
when your heart has the root of00:41:15
bitterness00:41:18
all the good resolutions00:41:21
they start from the hearts00:41:24
the good sauce you have they start from00:41:28
your heart00:41:29
foreign00:41:36
[Music]00:41:55
you may have a resolution thinking that00:41:58
it's a good resolution but because it00:42:01
emanates from the root of bitterness it00:42:03
is actually something bad and the end is00:42:06
going to be bad00:42:07
another an example00:42:14
Jose has a wife00:42:16
[Music]00:42:19
and the wife say are you gonna give me a00:42:22
ride00:42:26
says no00:42:28
alcohol00:42:31
begging and asking please00:42:44
she wants to show the husband that she's00:42:47
angry00:42:48
again who is hurting as they are walking00:43:00
the anger00:43:02
[Music] um00:43:12
[Music]00:43:34
foreign00:43:49
a bad idea but the other person is going00:43:53
to be okay and the consequence of the00:43:55
action will come further down the road00:44:02
we used to rebel and refuse to eat00:44:07
I'm not gonna eat00:44:09
yet you're going to die of hunger movies00:44:35
sometimes you refuse to eat as a child00:44:37
and my siblings will say okay take the00:44:40
way take away the food but you would00:44:42
want someone to beg you so that you00:44:44
could eat00:44:48
there are other siblings who take your00:44:50
food and eat it in front of you00:44:58
what have you done when you do that00:45:03
it is something that you do out of the00:45:07
root of bitterness00:45:09
but the consequence will be big00:45:20
is very evil00:45:38
Matthew 13 7.00:45:42
in verse 22 yeah what did Jesus00:45:54
and some fell among thorns and the00:45:57
Thorns sprang up and choked them 2200:46:03
candy USA Mississippi00:46:13
now he who received seed among the00:46:16
Thorns is he who hears the word and the00:46:19
cares of this word and the deceitfulness00:46:21
of witches choked the word and he00:46:23
becomes unfruitful00:46:26
sons are the cares of this world00:46:31
to take a long time thinking about you00:46:41
[Music]00:47:12
and when those things come you direct00:47:14
your mind to God00:47:20
is00:47:43
[Music]00:48:10
there is nothing you can00:48:33
you have rejected the root of bitterness00:48:36
in your heart00:48:42
um00:48:59
who worry about all things and nothing00:49:02
they worry about their child in school00:49:04
when the child comes home when the child00:49:06
wakes up let those things go and give00:49:09
them to God00:49:10
um00:49:16
I saw her and there's so many problems00:49:19
and she was old00:49:23
and grandchildren00:49:27
mother00:49:29
what problem do you have00:49:33
I see you have many sorrows in your00:49:36
heart00:49:40
how can I not have them00:50:04
and I started worrying about giving00:50:06
birth and then I gave birth afterwards00:50:09
until the seventh chance00:50:12
and I said to myself I'm going to rest00:50:20
and so my children grow up and started00:50:23
worrying about them getting married00:50:26
and then the children got married00:50:30
and then I became so worried about one00:50:34
of my children being buried00:50:37
and I saw all of them gave birth00:50:42
and now they have children and I look at00:50:46
my grandchildren and I worry about their00:50:47
safety00:50:50
no no00:50:52
and I asked her do you have is issues or00:50:56
worries about your grandchildren and she00:50:58
responded I don't even sleep because of00:50:59
that00:51:01
I looked at her and I was shocked00:51:04
they are well00:51:06
they are not poor00:51:09
she comes to a church with a car00:51:18
but she's about to die because of those00:51:21
worries00:51:22
the grandchildren00:51:25
and she also has00:51:28
a great grandchild but today00:51:34
[Music]00:51:36
and I asked her about her great00:51:39
grandchild and she said that one is00:51:42
actually worse because he's now two00:51:44
years old and he hasn't spoken I don't00:51:47
sleep because of him00:51:57
and she said I spent the night thinking00:52:00
about our history or our genealogy and I00:52:03
don't know if we had anybody who was00:52:06
deaf00:52:09
how can you cancel that kind of person00:52:12
if they come to your office00:52:17
they were always in the prayer00:52:21
they're always in the morning prayer at00:52:23
church00:52:27
what do you pray When you pray00:52:31
she said I am always showing God those00:52:35
grandchildrenic00:52:38
she wakes up early in the morning to00:52:40
bring the grandchildren before God they00:52:42
will say00:52:44
and I asked you do you have time to00:52:47
worship and praise00:52:50
foreign00:53:01
and she said it can be a routine but00:53:02
most of the time I'm praying for my00:53:04
grandchildren so when you dwell on00:53:06
yourself too much you will develop the00:53:09
root of bitterness00:53:13
allow me today to ask you to forget00:53:16
about yourself a little bit and seek God00:53:21
and the Bible says the selfish desires00:53:24
of this world00:53:26
what are the diseases00:53:27
the things we run after with that cause00:53:31
us to work hard leave a hand they are00:53:33
foolish desires00:53:35
the Bible says00:53:38
that the money has wings00:53:43
if you run after it it will fly and go00:53:46
away from you I am a friend that people00:53:48
can you the money we are chasing00:53:52
all right00:54:00
the money that we chase after we let you00:54:03
catch it but then slip out of your hand00:54:05
and one day he even flies away00:54:09
it's like a bird that they have asked00:54:12
you to keep00:54:15
not to kill it and to not let it go come00:54:18
on00:54:21
the money tells you when it's in your00:54:24
hand it's like that bird he says don't00:54:26
eat me and don't Release Me00:54:30
foreign if you hold it too tight you00:54:33
will kill the bird00:54:35
if you let it go it will fly out00:54:38
the Bible tells them00:54:43
seek the kingdom of God and everything00:54:45
else will follow00:54:48
it is not bad to uh to run00:54:54
God first00:54:57
to have the altar of God in you is the00:55:00
first thing00:55:01
and other things follow amen amen00:55:07
oh hallelujah hallelujah00:55:24
10 12 13 says so for yourselves00:55:27
righteousness reap in Mercy break up00:55:30
your fallow ground for it is time to00:55:32
seek the Lord till he comes and Reigns00:55:34
righteousness00:55:37
break the fallow ground in your heart00:55:40
break them00:55:44
so that the seed is about to begin00:55:47
the author that is about to be placed00:55:50
we'll have a way to be established amen00:55:53
amen00:55:54
be able to grow00:56:00
um00:56:04
the day we learn to entrust our things00:56:07
and our people to God00:56:08
will be at peace00:56:12
until we do so00:56:15
we are going to make a mess00:56:22
those times must come00:56:28
um00:56:31
I graduated00:56:38
I was about to go and study away from my00:56:42
house from my dad00:56:45
he had kept me so much00:56:48
and he kept me to himself00:56:52
he was using a reference from my other00:56:55
brother00:56:58
I'll do something small and remind me of00:57:01
what my brothers did00:57:05
and when he would punish me he would00:57:08
punish me with no mercy on the movies00:57:10
when I said beating you guys don't00:57:12
understand00:57:17
back home your parents would beat you00:57:20
and you would ask yourself if they are00:57:22
really your parents00:57:23
one day I asked him00:57:26
a teenager and I was a teenager because00:57:32
I was strong I saw that if I push him he00:57:35
would fall00:57:38
I asked him how long will you continue00:57:41
to beat me00:57:44
and you would say until I am sure that00:57:48
you are not like your brothers00:57:50
and00:57:51
was two in the house and he was beating00:57:54
me with a stick00:57:56
he was a very skinny person and I was a00:58:00
young girl big guy00:58:02
and I thought to myself00:58:04
but he will beat me00:58:11
and00:58:14
he really hurts me00:58:19
and I was wounded even00:58:23
when you know00:58:26
because00:58:30
after he beat me and he saw that he had00:58:34
gone too far he asked me to go to sleep00:58:43
and I asked myself00:58:47
why can I just not Escape00:58:52
and I asked myself what am I going to00:58:54
skip to okay and then another time00:59:00
I had to go to a place where he would00:59:03
not be with me00:59:04
and he would not see me again00:59:08
to leave me to live with me00:59:13
I had lived with him the way my ring is00:59:16
with my fingers00:59:19
I never knew how to play with other kids00:59:30
I never learned the neighborhood slang00:59:32
because I never went to play with other00:59:33
kids00:59:35
that's how I was kept uh00:59:44
later on God explained to me why00:59:48
there was a small root of bitterness00:59:51
that was there then00:59:54
we remember the day the roots of00:59:55
bitterness left00:59:59
I had been praying for the whole night01:00:02
in the equatorial forest in Vietnamese01:00:06
it was like 3 A.M01:00:11
that's when the light came into my heart01:00:14
and the root left me01:00:20
again01:00:23
and I started feeling like I love my01:00:25
father and God explained to me that the01:00:28
way he raised me was benefits01:00:36
and he also had a root of bitterness01:00:39
because of my brothers and the things he01:00:41
did to me were very beautiful this is01:00:44
what he told me01:00:45
he said you are going01:01:11
I give you permission go01:01:24
he was going back to the mountains and I01:01:27
was gonna go to kisangani01:01:30
that word entered my heart01:01:33
and I never understood01:01:36
that all the years I lived with him01:01:39
foreign01:01:42
into an altar01:01:47
when I got to the university all01:01:50
other friends01:01:53
on Saturday01:01:56
they will all go to seek prostitutes and01:01:59
drinkers01:02:02
these were children of pastors01:02:06
and they told me this is what happens on01:02:09
Saturday01:02:12
the only one left in the campus01:02:16
next they told me we are going to take01:02:19
you by force01:02:21
and I will pray and they'll forget01:02:24
what happened to me is this01:02:29
The Thirst for the things of the world01:02:31
had left me I had nothing of it01:02:39
I went to visit a few girls that were01:02:42
going to school01:02:44
when I got to the room there were two of01:02:47
them01:02:48
they locked the door01:02:50
they locked outside and they say you are01:02:53
not going to leave01:02:55
I had not understood what they were01:02:57
saying when I understood01:03:00
I knelt down in prayers01:03:06
go out you are not a man01:03:10
why am I saying this01:03:17
when you have been an altar or you have01:03:20
been offered as a sacrifice01:03:29
but they have no power01:03:34
amen amen amen01:03:37
to raise children01:03:41
we must raise them in God is01:04:01
when we raise children we must be01:04:03
careful not to raise them out of our01:04:05
roots of bitterness because your01:04:07
reactions when you have a family many of01:04:10
them come from your experience or your01:04:12
background01:04:15
music01:04:17
what is the root01:04:23
um01:04:27
it's something that is hidden yes01:04:32
foreign01:04:43
and it is private01:04:48
and this thing is stuffed in you know01:04:53
it is01:04:55
but people cannot see it01:04:59
is01:05:05
because you make it private01:05:08
you hide it01:05:10
yet it is in you because01:05:22
and though unseen this route01:05:25
nevertheless feeds our soul informs our01:05:28
mind and feels our motives few s our01:05:31
motives it is01:05:34
anything that you are going to do this01:05:37
route is gonna push you if it's control01:05:46
when you have an unseen route you ask01:05:49
people to do things in public and you01:05:52
manipulate them away from them01:05:54
because the root of bitterness it is01:05:58
something unseen01:06:00
but pushes us to do things that we have01:06:03
thought about01:06:06
Bitter Root poisons01:06:12
cause or poisons everything we do01:06:16
um01:06:19
causes us to poison all the people we01:06:22
meet01:06:24
[Music]01:06:27
again01:06:33
we must stay on the local for any route01:06:36
of bitterness because left unchecked it01:06:39
will spring up into a noxious weed01:06:41
spreading death and destruction01:06:44
when someone is bitter within them01:06:48
uh01:06:51
and they find some are people talking01:06:54
about someone01:06:56
the first thing that person says01:06:59
it is to bring the person down01:07:04
they can say Eve has a very nice01:07:09
and he will come and say what are you01:07:11
guys talking about01:07:13
Eve has a very good card01:07:17
and the person will say a long time ago01:07:20
in their family they were poor people01:07:22
really01:07:25
you are not talking about the background01:07:28
you are just saying that they haven't he01:07:30
has a nice question01:07:41
the first thing that will show you that01:07:43
someone has the root of bitterness is01:07:45
a01:07:47
bit01:07:53
um01:08:04
among the people who are discussing Eve01:08:07
another person has the root of01:08:09
bitterness they will support the evil01:08:11
thing that they are talking about they01:08:13
come back01:08:17
and I'll go fast01:08:26
under the reign of David he had many01:08:29
counselors but there were two that were01:08:31
great um01:08:34
one was hus01:08:43
read first Chronicles 27 33.01:08:46
foreign01:09:28
5001:09:37
[Music]01:09:50
David's friends went into the City and01:09:53
Absalom came into Jerusalem01:09:57
the Bible actually contains the entire01:10:01
life01:10:03
the words of the bible contain our01:10:06
livelihood every day01:10:09
was the friend of David01:10:12
who was a hit of him01:10:15
[Music]01:10:18
was the most trusted among David's01:10:22
advisors the most01:10:24
easy01:10:29
David trusted like a man trust their own01:10:33
hand yeah01:10:39
he was one of David's closest friend and01:10:42
confidence01:10:53
was just a friend and a foreign01:11:13
a good part of David's success as a01:11:16
leader was due to his skill at selecting01:11:19
good people to surround and assist him01:11:20
this this man I need to fail a hit of01:11:24
him01:11:27
he was a very smart person the Bible01:11:31
says01:11:33
that he comes he's coming01:11:35
foreign01:12:04
was a friend of David01:12:08
but in secret01:12:12
was the one01:12:14
this is what happens01:12:17
there was a time01:12:19
with01:12:23
adults01:12:25
David I want to retire and go01:12:30
and he asked what happened you say no01:12:34
don't worry about it I am going to my01:12:36
own uh01:12:38
and he went to gilro in his village01:12:41
under Hebron01:12:46
and David asked himself what is going on01:12:50
I used to counsel with this person01:12:53
someone who has my secrets okay01:12:56
and David said let's see what happens01:12:59
but what happened01:13:07
in the second book of Samuel 15 12.01:13:18
then Absalom sent foreign01:13:43
okay01:13:44
and the conspiracy wrong for the people01:13:47
with Absalom continually increased in01:13:49
number01:13:52
Absalom went to office01:14:04
[Music]01:14:28
[Music]01:14:33
when there were many people01:14:37
he then called foreign01:14:40
[Music]01:15:00
let's continue01:15:08
movie before01:15:11
because01:15:15
reacted differently during David's01:15:18
trials01:15:20
both of them are close to David um one01:15:24
is a friend my way01:15:28
and another one is a trusted counselor01:15:32
David has a problem01:15:35
the way they are going to behave01:15:38
um01:15:40
will show us who has the root of01:15:43
bitterness01:15:46
we're shy01:15:48
yeah01:16:02
who shall remain secretly loyal to David01:16:05
betrayed Absalom calls calls by opposing01:16:08
a hit of first plan and proposing in its01:16:11
place a scheme of his own which actually01:16:13
gave the advantage to David01:16:18
foreign01:16:46
but who shy had remained a friend of01:16:49
David's Secrets01:16:50
they made all the plans01:16:52
and then who shy01:16:58
I trust a hit of faith and David01:17:02
must die01:17:05
but today yes01:17:15
foreign01:17:24
and Absalom took the Council of husha01:17:27
and a hitofil knew very well that01:17:30

tell other people and it is going to01:18:34
become even worse01:18:38
there are others who can talk to you or01:18:42
you can talk to me01:18:45
but in their hearts they don't remove01:18:48
the root of bitterness01:18:52
because there was no Auto yeah01:19:03
foreign01:19:11
a decade01:19:15
in other words he was so bitter within01:19:18
him01:19:20
but01:19:22
he did not remove it he continued to01:19:26
work he continued to sleep with it01:19:29
when you are better in your heart01:19:34
the person who pleased you before angers01:19:37
you when you see them01:19:41
when they give you help you that they01:19:44
are bringing poison01:19:47
perceptions01:19:54
it is to see something in a different01:19:57
angle in the wrong angle01:20:00
When You Love Someone music and you01:20:03
laugh01:20:05
and you say you are too short01:20:08

your friends01:20:14
they will tell you why don't you give me01:20:16

and they say you are short01:20:24
becomes a big deal the only person01:20:27
that's a perception01:20:29
one word you01:20:34
can hear it in different ways in01:20:36
different times01:20:37
what causes this it is01:20:42
now we are going to pray01:20:45
um01:20:50
foreign01:21:05
[Music]01:21:33
then one day is sprouted became a huge01:21:36
tree that dropped rotten food poisoning01:21:38
thousands of lives01:21:44
and he left Israel01:21:46
mourning for many people what's01:21:48
happening01:22:03
he refused to cope with the given01:22:05
situation and to forgive and it was also01:22:09
pointless because David had already been01:22:12
dealt with by God01:22:14
what is the first word01:22:21
the visibility of David's relatives was01:22:25
constantly diminishing they felt01:22:27
neglected01:22:29
you see that he brought many Concepts01:22:33
and because David's Reign to explain01:22:36
when they talk about David01:22:40
when you have a big Kingdom01:22:43
there are other people01:22:45
there are other foreign01:23:03
in a youth where is that boy from cups01:23:07
and the story analyzing David's Antoine01:23:11
Linda vibrid who are they telling us01:23:13
again01:23:15
you are the closest one number one and01:23:18
he would say I don't even see him01:23:19
anymore01:23:20
he goes with us01:23:25
every time I try to be private he brings01:23:28
ushai around01:23:30
foreign01:23:56
so when people have the roots of01:23:58
bitterness in them01:23:59
[Music]01:24:01
they are not pleased with others not01:24:04
because they hate them01:24:06
but because they are their influences01:24:08
diminished01:24:10
the people who fought against01:24:12
they are not the Benjamins01:24:21
and David was famous in Israel01:24:27
said01:24:29
with the Judah people01:24:31
there are none in the army01:24:38
the great counselors is just a hit of01:24:42
her among all of them01:24:46
with01:24:50
foreign01:25:35
multiply and not nobody will bother you01:25:47
have been placed in positions political01:25:49
positions they would have died what I'm01:25:52
trying to say that thing got to01:25:59
cattle to bring to grow bitterness in01:26:02
him01:26:06
imagine someone who goes to fetch water01:26:08
unwillingly they will fetch back what01:26:12
David was sending him it's not what he01:26:14
was bringing or he would go and before01:26:18
he says what brings him that is01:26:25
foreign01:26:35
[Music]01:26:46
foreign01:27:19
but everyone I go to everyone I speak to01:27:24
live bitterness in their hearts because01:27:26
I am bitter01:27:28
kidney another thing is this01:27:32
the lack of visibility for the Judah01:27:35
people new things01:27:46
it's not worthy that the rebellion was01:27:49
cradled in Judah and to have found there01:27:52
is Chief strength01:27:54
another thing01:27:56
brought bitterness in them01:28:04
it is to have expectations and not01:28:07
communicate them foreign01:28:43
foreign01:29:15
there are some people who have01:29:17
expectations and they don't communicate01:29:20
them you will get up because it's your01:29:21
birthday and you think that they are01:29:22
going to sing for you and you never told01:29:24
anyone even God wants us to communicate01:29:27
what we Desiree01:29:30
foreign01:30:01
I01:30:19
know01:30:20
after one year as a kundev he came to me01:30:29
difficult times01:30:37
[Music]01:30:43
for one year that person told me when01:30:46
we're in Israel you did not wish me01:30:49
happy birthday and I have been angry and01:30:51
bitter against you for the entire year I01:30:54
would say hallelujah in the church they01:30:56
will not respond well together01:31:10
never got to know about mediation01:31:16
um01:31:35
having an expectation and not01:31:38
communicating it will cause you to be01:31:40
bitter if it's not met01:31:47
they01:31:54
continue to go01:31:56
foreign01:32:26
the expectations that wives and women01:32:29
have to notice every little change you01:32:32
do cause them to have some type of01:32:33
bitterness because no one can keep up01:32:36
and pay attention to every detail01:32:38
my expectations01:32:41
you better know the expectations01:32:45
you should wake up every morning looking01:32:47
to see if nothing changed and their01:32:49
hairstyle01:32:52
don't do so01:32:54
much01:33:02
sometimes you talk to your wife and she01:33:05
answers you angrily because you didn't01:33:07
compliment her hairstyle01:33:09
this is the other thing that happened01:33:16
why01:33:21
Uriah01:33:27
Bathsheba01:33:29
yeah01:33:31
but Sheba was the daughter of Elia eliam01:33:37

and this added on everything that had01:36:13
happened before01:36:16
because01:36:22
