00:03 The young man came running out of the church,
00:04 he was singing to the top of his lungs, 00:06 he was so excited. 00:08 He went bounding own the street, 00:09 skipping all the way but an old man stopped him. 00:12 He said, young man, have you lost your mind? 00:15 And he said, yes, I have. 00:16 I got the mind of Christ now. 00:18 Would you like the mind of Christ? 00:20 Would you like to have that peace and happiness, 00:22 that joy in your mind 00:23 that just lifts you up higher and higher? 00:25 You can have it, stay tuned to find out how. 00:35 It's time to join your guide, Jim Ayer, 00:39 for an exciting 12 episode journey 00:41 into "Remodeling Your Life." 00:44 You're going to discover that 00:45 God's transforming power is real 00:49 and He's ready to provide that power to you. 00:51 Now here's your guide, Jim Ayer 00:53 to take you on the journey of a lifetime, 00:56 an amazing and dynamic experience with God. 01:01 To this point in our series you've been studying 01:03 the desire of God to call you from danger to safety 01:05 using His prophets 01:07 and the need for radical change in your life 01:10 using the dynamite power of God and the authority of God 01:13 to accomplish all that He asked of you. 01:16 Now it's time to apply what you studied 01:18 to enable your transformation process 01:21 so I can kick in the high gear. 01:24 Now I want to share an interesting thought 01:25 that was done by Steve Brown. 01:28 It appeared in Christianity Today. 01:29 He said, "Contrary to popular opinion, 01:31 sin is not what you want to do but can't, 01:34 it's what you should not do because it will hurt you 01:37 and hurt you bad. 01:38 God is not a policeman, 01:39 He is a Father concerned about His children. 01:43 When a child picks up a snake and the father says, 01:45 'Put that down right this minute!' 01:47 Well, the child thinks he's losing a toy. 01:49 In fact, he is not losing a toy, he is losing a snake." 01:53 Now in this particular instance 01:54 this snake is a wonderful sweet little girl 01:58 but if the father says put it down 02:00 it's time to put it down. 02:01 We need to change our mindset with God to be over-comers. 02:08 If you were to take an order of your spiritual life 02:11 how would it turn out? 02:12 Are you growing each year, are you stagnating? 02:15 Maybe even going backwards 02:16 but what's the pattern, what's the goal, 02:19 what's' the vision for this to year? 02:21 Do you have a spiritual plan at all? 02:23 If you ever hope to go home with the Lord 02:25 then you better have one. 02:27 If you don't have one, 02:29 then you probably not going to get there. 02:31 It's highly likely. 02:34 Every person you see in this world 02:35 who has ever become successful in the temple 02:38 or in the spiritual world 02:39 has a vision to focus upon and a direction in their life, 02:44 they are working toward a goal. 02:46 Dr. Dennis Wadley tells a story of Colonel George Hall 02:49 who was a four handicap golfer 02:51 before he ended up in a Vietnamese prison. 02:53 He always played one round of golf in his cell 02:56 in his imagination, his little eight-by-eight cell, 02:59 with black pajamas, bare feet and a pail and a plate of rice. 03:03 He never went outside, his teeth rotted, 03:05 his eyes went bad, 03:06 and he got atrophied and withered, 03:09 but he played that one round of golf faithfully 03:12 very well incidentally in his imagination. 03:15 He played every putt, he played every stroke, 03:17 he played games that the pros had played 03:19 and he played games that he had played over the years. 03:22 He played it all in his mind. 03:25 It's just absolutely amazing. 03:27 When he came back he played in the New Orleans Open 03:30 and in the Open he shot a 76, four over par, 03:34 right on his handicap. 03:36 The news media, they were astounded and said, 03:38 congratulation, beginner's re-entry luck. 03:41 Luck, you said, are you kidding? 03:43 I never three-putted the green 03:45 in five and a half years of solitary confinement. 03:48 This is the principle that governs the universe. 03:50 It applies to a spiritual as well as the temple realm. 03:54 As we behold so we become. 03:57 The human mind wired in such a way 04:00 so that it imitates what it sees. 04:02 It wires itself if you will, it becomes what it beholds, 04:07 what it watches. 04:09 That's why the Bible offers this council. 04:11 Finally, my friends, 04:13 keep your minds on whatever is true, 04:15 pure, right, holy, friendly and proper. 04:19 Don't ever stop thinking about what is truly worthwhile 04:22 and worthy of praise. 04:30 This is why I shutter when we seem to struggle 04:33 to figure out why there's so much violence today. 04:35 It's been estimated that we spend 04:37 three billion hours each week playing video games. 04:40 Three billion hours on planet earth, 04:42 that's billion with a "B" 04:44 and the majority contain violent content. 04:47 The average child will watch 8,000 murders on TV 04:51 by the time they leave elementary school. 04:54 We are replaying violence in our mind 04:56 just like the POW in Vietnam practice golf. 04:59 As a world, we are mesmerized 05:01 by the temptations of the devil. 05:04 Dr. Keith Ablow is a psychiatrist, 05:06 an expert witness New York's Time 05:08 best selling author and more. 05:11 When cop killer Christopher Dorner 05:12 gathered a huge following in of fans 05:15 who were in support of his rampage, 05:16 Ablow was asked 05:17 why people are in growing numbers across to America 05:20 supporting killers and murderers, 05:22 even creating fan clubs in their names? 05:25 His response was telling, he said this... 05:28 How does he gotten that support? 05:30 Why are people coming out and supporting him, 05:32 he's a murderer? 05:34 Well, Janet, unfortunately 05:37 our society now is one in which reality is giving way to fiction 05:42 such that people are, believe themselves 05:45 to be many reality TV versions of themselves 05:48 and they are vulnerable to seeing somebody 05:51 who alleges that he is wrong 05:54 as some kind of larger than life figure. 05:56 They are not able it seems, right, 05:59 many people are able to empathies with these victims 06:02 and imagine what it would be like 06:04 to lose a father or a husband 06:06 because they are caught up in the entertainment value 06:10 of a horrible crime. 06:12 And they can cast this guy a hero because, 06:14 hey here's the script, you are the hero now 06:17 because reality is under seize everywhere in America. 06:20 I couldn't have said it better. 06:22 We are dragging ourselves to oblivion 06:25 and the devil is providing the material to help us. 06:28 How much do you want the eternal prize? 06:30 Are you committed to re-training 06:32 your mind to win heaven? 06:33 If so what would it look like to you? 06:36 Reading fewer novels? 06:37 Maybe more time with your Bible, 06:40 less time watching TV or playing video games, 06:43 a greater time commitment to prayer. 06:46 If you and I are going to be remodeled 06:48 and transformed into the Christ image 06:50 then we must start by beholding Him, 06:52 by looking at Jesus, the one who is coming soon. 06:55 You talk about reality, 06:57 when we stand before the judgment seat of God 07:00 that will be far bigger reality 07:02 than any television program. 07:04 In order to strengthen your faith, 07:06 quicken your love 07:07 and become more deeply imbued with the spirit 07:09 you must increase the time by beholding 07:12 the matchless beauty of Jesus Christ. 07:14 Choosing do to so 07:15 is the first step to the transformational ladder 07:18 of getting in that process 07:20 of climbing the ladder of transformation. 07:23 Even the Roman centurion discovered that 07:25 spending time with God is life changing. 07:28 It was his God detail stand in duty 07:31 at Calvary's cross. 07:33 He beheld the events of the day in the manner 07:35 in which Son of God acted. 07:37 At the end of the day 07:38 when Christ had died for you and for me 07:40 the Bible records His testimony 07:42 of this battle harden man. 07:45 He said in Mark 15, 07:47 and when the centurion who stood across of Him 07:50 saw that he cried out so and expired he said, 07:53 "Truly, this man was the Son of God." 07:57 It's true, by beholding we become change. 08:00 The question is, are you practicing for heaven? 08:25 As I thought about this beautiful couple 08:26 united in Christ 08:28 I recall the text that says that, 08:30 when a man leaves father and mother 08:32 he is joined to his wife to become one with her. 08:36 The first marriage ceremony 08:37 was performed by God in the Garden of Eden 08:40 and was to represent the joining together 08:42 of God and mankind. 08:44 Marriage should be a beautiful 08:46 reminder of the close and eternal union 08:49 God desires with us. 08:51 We are to leave all others and become His and His alone. 08:57 As the song says, 08:58 he gets sweeter and sweeter as the days go by, 09:01 because God is the God of love. 09:04 He has the desire and capacity 09:06 to make you joyful beyond words. 09:09 Perhaps at sometime in your life you fall in love with someone, 09:13 what did you experience. 09:15 Now I am guessing that 09:16 because the human reaction to love is universal. 09:20 That person was all you could think about, 09:22 all you could focus upon. 09:24 Everything and everyone else took second position 09:27 to the budding relationship. 09:29 Am I right? 09:31 Having had some experience in both areas 09:33 I can say that falling in love with Jesus is far more intense, 09:37 bringing amazing joy and peace into one's life. 09:42 I am not down playing the one over the other, 09:45 only pointing out that the relationship with Christ 09:48 is wonderfully rewarding and fulfilling, 09:50 superseding any earthly relationships. 09:55 There are a few biblical examples of that love hunger 09:58 that will be found in your forever 10:00 relationship with Jesus Christ. 10:04 Let me read first to you Psalms 42:1, 10:07 "As the deer pants for the water brooks, 10:09 so pants my soul for You, O God." 10:12 Continuing in Psalm 63:1-7, "God, you are my God, 10:17 early will I seek you, my soul thirst for you, 10:21 my flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty land 10:24 where there is no water. 10:26 Because Your loving kindness is better than life. 10:29 My lips shall praise You. 10:32 Thus I will I bless You while I live, 10:34 I will lift up my hands in Your name. 10:37 Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice." 10:42 And finally in Psalms 84:2, "My soul longs, yes, 10:46 even faints for the courts of the Lord: 10:49 my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God." 10:54 You may be wondering what I am doing 10:55 here at the whiteboard. 10:57 Well, this is my illustration for the day 11:00 and I hope you like it. 11:01 Here goes, Lord, I want to experience. 11:05 Experience what? 11:07 There's a big problem because a lot of time 11:10 in our commitment to God we put a huge period, 11:13 we put up huge period and we just stop right there. 11:16 But I'd invite you to erase the period 11:20 and then continue on. 11:23 Lord, I want to experience an eternal happiness with You, 11:26 an eternal friendship with You, eternal joy with You. 11:30 But you see, it's up to you. 11:32 You can put in a period in your life 11:35 and what kind of life is it really going to be? 11:37 Well, if you take out the period, 11:40 erase everything that looks anything like a period 11:43 and continue on with the sentence of your fellowship 11:46 and friendship with God 11:47 you're gonna be extremely happy. 11:59 If you have the opportunity to travel to Israel with a guide 12:02 and then going to the top of the Mount of Olives 12:05 your guide probably pointed out the chapel 12:07 or the dome of the ascension and said, 12:09 from this spot Jesus ascended to heaven, 12:12 but how does the scripture read? 12:14 Well, Luke tells us that Jesus went as far as to Bethany, 12:17 just over the top and down the other side of the mountain. 12:21 You know, all of those scripture doesn't tell us 12:22 why Jesus went there, I think I know. 12:25 Who live there in Bethany? 12:26 Martha, Mary and Lazarus lived there. 12:29 Well, they were Jesus' best friends. 12:31 I think Jesus went there to say goodbye to His 12:34 very special friends. 12:36 I'd like you to think about this. 12:38 Thousands upon thousands of people 12:40 crowded in around Jesus continually, 12:42 pushing, shoving and wanting something from Him. 12:46 But how many people wanted to be close friend of His? 12:50 There were not many. 12:51 Was this because Jesus was stand offish? 12:54 Was it because He was hard to make friends with? 12:56 Well, the answer is no and no. 12:59 The reason is really very simple, 13:01 few people wanted to put in the time 13:03 to be up close and personal friends with Jesus Christ. 13:07 They all wanted something from Jesus 13:09 plus most were unwilling to invest their own time 13:12 and energy into the relationship. 13:14 They always wanted something from Him 13:17 but they didn't want to give anything to Him. 13:20 Most were unwilling to work at the relationship. 13:23 Isn't that why so many people end up in divorce court today? 13:26 They are unwilling to put in the time in marriage 13:29 and what it takes to make it work. 13:32 It's really no different with the Lord, 13:34 little in, little out. 13:36 You see, it's all up to you. 13:38 Jesus desires to become your very best friend 13:41 and loving companion. 13:43 You are having a hard time with that idea, 13:45 perhaps its time for a mind transplant. 13:55 Could something be missing in your walk with Christ 13:58 but you are not sure what it might be 13:59 or what to do about it, 14:01 The Review and Herald has the answer. 14:04 The book Transformation will lead you step by step 14:06 on the journey of a lifetime. 14:08 You'll be surprised 14:09 that how easily changes in your life occur 14:12 as you focus on the power of God. 14:14 You see, it's all about God, 14:15 the God who loves you and wants to transform you. 14:19 Now here's the information you need, 14:20 call us or visit us online. 14:26 Jim was a drug dealer an alcoholic 14:28 and a thief until God called him. 14:30 But that was just the beginning, as someone said, 14:33 he has lived six lifetimes, he became wealthy, 14:36 lobbied on Capitol Hill and was a church leader 14:39 but he was lost until God gave him a second chance. 14:43 People tell us when you start reading "Second Chance," 14:45 you can't put it down. 14:47 Your loved ones who maybe wondering 14:48 if God will give them a second chance will love it too. 14:52 Now here's the information you need, 14:53 call us or visit us online. 14:58 You know, I think back to Baby Fae in 1984, 15:01 remember that little girl who had a heart transplant, 15:03 a baboon heart placed within her chest cavity to keep her alive. 15:07 That surgery put Loma Linda University, 15:10 a Seventh-day Adventist hospital on the map of the world. 15:14 Organ transplant science has made tremendous strives 15:16 over the last 30 years and I am not sure 15:19 how many different organs of the human body 15:21 can now be routinely and successfully transplanted 15:24 but I do know 15:26 that the human brain is not one of them. 15:29 Transplanting a brain requires a skill far greater 15:32 than any surgeon here on planet earth has. 15:34 But why did I even bring up this subject? 15:37 Because the apostle Paul says, the secrets to growing in Christ 15:40 is to have His mind, a new mind. 15:44 I want to share with you what Philippians 2:5 says, 15:46 "Let this mind be in you, which was in Christ Jesus." 15:50 Yes, we need a brain transplant. 15:58 We know that Paul was not talking 15:59 about a medical procedure 16:01 but he's speaking of a spiritual procedure. 16:04 How can it happen? 16:05 Well, in the same way the creator of the universe 16:07 transplanted God into a human womb 16:09 to be born into the world. 16:12 We need to remove all of the obstacles 16:14 in our thinking process 16:15 that continually place roadblocks 16:17 between what God can do 16:19 and what you think He cannot do. 16:22 Well, it's easy to-- for Him to accomplish 16:25 anything He wants to, 16:26 He just needs you to sign 16:27 the authorization papers for surgery. 16:30 When you begin falling in love with the Lord, 16:32 the mind transplants starts to take place. 16:35 It's natural and an inevitable outcome of the relationship. 16:40 Remember, it's a God thing, it's all about Him. 16:43 He can make it happen if you choose. 16:46 Start counting on God right now. 16:49 There are amazing things that will happen 16:51 when you open your heart and your life to Him. 16:59 But this is a process 17:01 that devil does not want you to embark up on, 17:03 under no circumstances does he want you 17:05 to receive the mind of Christ. 17:08 Therefore the process of receiving the mind transplant 17:11 will not be pain free. 17:13 Those who only want the crown 17:15 without the cross will have neither. 17:18 Jesus council as this, take my cross He said 17:20 and follow Me. 17:22 The prosperity gospel that is so popular today is not factual. 17:27 Does God want us to prosper and be in health? 17:29 Yes, He does. 17:31 But you only need to look at Jesus our example 17:34 and you will see that the devil hit Him hard and very often 17:37 and we are invited to follow Him. 17:40 Keep in mind 17:42 that God created you for eternity 17:44 and not for time. 17:45 Anything you give up or go through in this life 17:48 will be rewarded multi-fold in the next life 17:51 and the blessings will never stop. 17:54 The martyr throughout history always kept this in prospective. 17:58 They knew that man could kill the body 18:00 but not the person who is hid with Jesus Christ 18:03 and will be raised to eternal life. 18:06 There are real decisions and choices 18:08 you and I must make. 18:10 We're not going to simply float into the kingdom 18:12 on a wing and a prayer. 18:20 Since 1849, 18:22 the Review and Herald Publishing Association 18:24 has produced the best of Christian literature, 18:27 helping guide people around the world 18:30 into a closer walk with Jesus Christ. 18:32 And they continue to be committed 18:34 to bringing you the very best, 18:36 helping you fall more deeply in love with your Lord. 18:40 That's why they partnered with Jim Ayer 18:42 to place "Transformation" 18:44 into the hands of every Christian. 18:47 There's no doubt that your heart and mind will be thrilled 18:50 as you read Transformation, 18:51 encounter life's choices in the weekly study guide 18:54 and spend quality time with family, friends 18:58 that are in your church group, 18:59 viewing this exciting 12 episode DVD series. 19:03 You owe it to yourself and to those you love, 19:05 Transformation. 19:06 Call us today to purchase the book, study guide, 19:09 the DVD series or all three at a package price. 19:12 Now here's the information you need, 19:14 call us or visit us online. 19:25 We've all had nightmares at sometime in our lives 19:28 but I dreamed about having a daymare. 19:30 You know, that's a nightmare that happens in a day time. 19:33 All of a sudden I was standing on a mighty plane, 19:35 looking at celestial city in the distance. 19:38 I seemed to be standing in a graveyard 19:40 with many other people. 19:42 Everyone like me was looking toward that most beautiful city, 19:46 a beautiful city like we've never seen before. 19:49 And all of a sudden there was a giant of a man 19:51 standing in front of me, he looked down to me and said, 19:54 I just resurrected you, we can take that city. 19:57 Well, a chill ran up my spine because I knew what this meant 20:01 and it was not good news. 20:03 I was in the second resurrection, 20:05 the resurrection of the lost. 20:12 If you attend most funerals today 20:13 you will discover that no matter 20:15 how evil the person was in life, 20:17 many preachers have dearly departed sitting in heaven 20:20 and join the comforts forever. 20:22 It's just not true. 20:24 Now that everyone knows 20:26 how terrible Satan's plan for the universe has been 20:29 the Lord will never allow sin to raise its ugly head again. 20:33 The only ones admitted to eternity are the people 20:35 who have fall in love with Christ here on earth 20:38 and are proven to be trustworthy. 20:41 I want to go home with Jesus 20:42 when He comes to pick up His family. 20:44 How about you? 20:46 Do you want to be in the first resurrection 20:48 and stand with Jesus on the inside of the holy city 20:51 and not on the outside with Satan? 20:57 In order for that to happen 20:58 the master worker with your permission 21:00 must remake you, totally remodel you. 21:03 This reconstruction process is a necessity despite 21:06 what the devil continually tells everyone. 21:10 Just that we are perfectly clear on the transformation plan, 21:13 if you have your Bible 21:14 I'd like you to turn with me to Ezekiel Chapter 36. 21:18 I am going to read a few verses 21:19 from various locations in the chapter 21:21 that give you an idea of where I am going with this thought. 21:25 Verse 25 says, "Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, 21:29 I will cleanse you," God says. 21:32 Verse 26, "I will give you a new heart, 21:35 I will put a new spirit within you, 21:37 I will take out the stony heart out of you, 21:39 I will give you a new heart. 21:41 I will put My spirit within you." 21:44 Verse 33 says, "I will cleanse you from all your iniquities." 21:49 And verse 36, the last half said, 21:51 "The Lord, I the Lord, your God have spoken it 21:54 and I will do it, I will do it." 21:58 Twenty six times in this chapter alone 22:00 the words of God are using basically I will. 22:03 You see, it's always all about God. 22:06 It was God who clothed the demoniac on shore 22:09 covering His sinfulness with His own righteousness. 22:13 But God did not want to leave 22:14 the old sinful mind in this man in His heart 22:17 so He gave him a new mind too. 22:19 God's justice and mercy 22:21 to the angel of the heaven into us 22:22 demand that we began the remodeling process, 22:25 the renovation of the entire being. 22:28 God does it all. It's all about God. 22:31 I hope you will accept this covering of righteousness 22:34 offered to you completely free. 22:36 The Lord invites you to take Him right now. 22:39 Please accept the master craftsman into your home 22:42 to accomplish this amazing job of transformation. 22:49 Dr. Dennis Wadley once said, learn from the past, 22:52 set vivid detail goals for the feature 22:55 and live in the only moment of time 22:57 over which you have any control right now. 23:00 It's been said that if you sow an action 23:02 you reap a habit, you sow a habit 23:04 you reap a life and sow a life 23:07 and you reap a destiny. 23:08 Your daily actions determine your destiny. 23:15 Meriah is a life, a mother 23:17 and a child of God first and foremost. 23:20 She's had her share of problems 23:22 but she has chosen to sow a life 23:24 that will reap an eternal destiny. 23:26 Meriah, I am so very please today 23:28 that to let everyone know that you are my daughter. 23:32 I am so proud of you and your walk with God. 23:34 I want to hear how God is working in your life, 23:37 transformation in action. 23:39 Meriah, tell me, how is transformation, 23:42 how is God working in your life? 23:45 A transformation action going on in my life 23:48 is just watching God work everyday. 23:50 You know, so many times I think that 23:53 we can be like the children of Israel 23:55 and we can forget the miracle that we just came through 23:59 and we hit the next roadblock 24:00 and we can get all panic and wonder 24:04 what is God going to do next, God where are you? 24:07 And it's just trying to hold fast to Him 24:11 and hold fast to know that 24:13 He brought us through the last trial 24:16 and He's gonna bring us 24:17 through the trial that we face currently 24:19 and it's just exciting to watch Him work everyday 24:24 from the little things to the big things in our lives. 24:28 My secret to find a relationship with God 24:31 is to not categorize Him. 24:34 God doesn't have like a little spot here 24:36 in my life or little spot there, 24:37 He is part of every part of my life. 24:40 He is like my finger as a part of me 24:44 like my heart is a part of me. 24:46 He's not just-- it doesn't just have a category, 24:50 He is my entire life and fits in each part 24:54 of everything I do in life, every part of it. 24:58 Journaling is fabulous 25:00 because Journaling is a way to keep track of the miracles 25:04 that God has done in your life. 25:06 Sometimes we may-- a year from now me 25:09 may forget the wonderful things 25:12 that God has done for us in the year prior 25:15 and Journaling is a great way to-- 25:18 whether you take five minutes a day or 15 or an hour, 25:22 whatever time that you decide is best for you to set aside 25:27 to write down some miracles that God is doing in your life 25:31 and then it's wonderful to be able to revisit those later on. 25:34 And so you can see if there is doubts in your mind ever 25:38 that God has pressed in your life 25:39 and that He is with you. 25:41 Just go back through those pages 25:43 and read some of the miracles 25:44 that God has done for you. 25:45 And it's really amazing to watch Him work in your life. 25:50 I absolutely see growth now 25:52 from where I was five years ago in my spiritual walk 25:55 and I believe the reason for that 25:57 is time spent with God. 26:00 And not only time spent with God 26:01 but recognizing the blessings 26:04 that He has brought forth in my life 26:07 and recognizing Him at work in my life. 26:09 You know, friends come in all varieties 26:13 of close friends to distance friends 26:16 but the friends that are really close, 26:18 usually are the ones that you spent time with 26:20 and I believe that, that's how it is with God. 26:23 You know God has a great desire to be our best friend. 26:26 He cares about every aspect of our lives 26:29 and everything that we go though. 26:31 And the more time that we spend with Him 26:33 the more we will get to know Him, 26:35 the more we will recognize His voice 26:38 and the more that we will fall in love with Him 26:40 and just want to be with Him 26:41 and spend more time with Him everyday. 26:44 I believe that God will bless the time that you give Him 26:49 and once you commit to give Him your time 26:51 He will bless that immeasurably. 26:54 And if you start out with five minutes a day, 26:56 I believe that five minutes will grow to 10 minutes 26:59 and that 10 minutes will grow to 15 27:02 and 15 will grow into half hour and an hour 27:04 and the time will grow and you will grow 27:07 because of the time that you devote to God. 27:09 But I believe that He tells us that 27:11 we got to step out in faith first 27:13 and once we step out in faith 27:15 and give that time He will bless it. 27:19 Meriah, thank you so much for coming. 27:22 As you can see God is at work in the lives of real people. 27:26 It can't be explain by science 27:27 but transformation is real nonetheless. 27:34 True happiness is not a location 27:36 we can travel to nor is it something 27:38 we can earn by our efforts, 27:40 nor can it be worn or consumed. 27:42 It can only be obtained through our conscious 27:44 daily choice of becoming God's best friend. 27:48 When Jesus resides inside of you happiness has arrived. 27:52 I can testify that after, it get sweeter 27:54 and sweeter as the days go by. 27:56 Once you taste the Lord and see you will wonder 28:00 why you ever waited so long. |
