Full Transcript for The Difference Between Existing and Having Life in Him Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel

00:05:19.889 both old and new, and the Lord when He came 70 00:05:19.930 --> 00:05:23.579 in the New Testament, He called everyone to be humble. 71 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.699 And the Lord Jesus said it, he who exalts himself 72 00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:32.209 shall be lowered, made humble. And he who humbles himself 73 00:05:32.629 --> 00:05:35.870 shall be exalted. The Lord called us to be humble. 74 00:05:36.410 --> 00:05:43.740 But humility, is it that I'm nothing? Number four, what 75 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:48.560 is death? Another question. What do we mean by death? 76 00:05:50.740 --> 00:05:55.709 Guess what? A thing that is alive cannot die. And 77 00:05:55.750 --> 00:05:59.050 a thing that is dead can never live. Because these 78 00:05:59.189 --> 00:06:05.240 two are exclusive units on their own. Neither life can 79 00:06:05.269 --> 00:06:09.379 be death, nor death can be life. Neither light can 80 00:06:09.420 --> 00:06:14.339 be darkness, nor darkness can be light. So what is death? 81 00:06:15.430 --> 00:06:18.519 So is it that one day I was alive and 82 00:06:18.579 --> 00:06:22.819 tomorrow I moved on, I'm dead now, see you later. 83 00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:26.199 So is that death when I leave this world? No. 84 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:33.250 A living thing can never die. So don't ever say 85 00:06:33.259 --> 00:06:38.209 to someone just because they came out of this realm, 86 00:06:38.470 --> 00:06:42.029 these people are dead because life can't die and death 87 00:06:42.069 --> 00:06:49.589 can't live. So what is death? Death. Another question. And 88 00:06:50.189 --> 00:06:52.750 please hold on to your seats. If you're sitting in 89 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:57.540 a plane, the captain will say, ladies and gentlemen, please 90 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.810 fasten your seatbelt quite tightly because we are going through 91 00:07:01.850 --> 00:07:05.920 some moderate turbulence. So I want you to fasten your 92 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:11.180 seatbelts because number five question is the ultimate question where 93 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:17.250 the greatest professors, the greatest experts in life have not 94 00:07:17.310 --> 00:07:20.829 been able to find an answer to this question. And 95 00:07:20.889 --> 00:07:28.810 that question is what is wrong with our teenagers? Why 96 00:07:28.889 --> 00:07:32.230 are they angry all the time? What's wrong with you guys? 97 00:07:33.589 --> 00:07:37.970 Why you guys are angry? What's wrong with our teenagers? 98 00:07:39.810 --> 00:07:44.490 Experts haven't found an answer to it yet. Number six. 99 00:07:47.209 --> 00:07:53.199 Why honor your mother and your father? I'll say these 100 00:07:53.220 --> 00:07:57.680 questions again. Why did God create everything? What is depression? 101 00:07:59.180 --> 00:08:02.660 What is the great virtue of humility? What is death? 102 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.779 The ultimate question, what's wrong with our youth? And number six, 103 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:13.240

why honor your mom and your dad? Now, we go 104 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:18.100 into it now into more details. Life versus existence. This 105 00:08:18.139 --> 00:08:21.259 is our topic, don't lose track of that title. Well, 106 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:28.089 did God create existence first or life first? So to 107 00:08:28.189 --> 00:08:31.509 answer that, we'll come to existence first. What is existence? 108 00:08:32.110 --> 00:08:38.070 Existence is every time you fill a space. Every time 109 00:08:38.090 --> 00:08:40.610 you fill a gap, every time you fill a space, 110 00:08:40.929 --> 00:08:44.049 you exist. Why do we exist? Because we have filled 111 00:08:44.129 --> 00:08:47.279 a gap. We have filled a space. When you read 112 00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:50.399 in the Gospel of John, chapter 1, it says, In 113 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.299 the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, 114 00:08:53.580 --> 00:08:57.730 and the Word was God. In Him, everything was made perfect. 115 00:08:57.929 --> 00:09:02.370 And without Him, nothing was made from what was made. 116 00:09:02.750 --> 00:09:07.940 So in other words, in Him, Jesus Christ, everything was 117 00:09:08.059 --> 00:09:12.820 made out of nothing. What was before? Space. How did 118 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:18.940 existence come when that space was filled? Now we call 119 00:09:18.980 --> 00:09:24.039 it existence. So the definition of existence is to occupy 120 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.539 space in the physical world. To occupy a space in 121 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:33.909 the physical world. Taking up space in simple term. When 122 00:09:33.950 --> 00:09:37.409 you take up a space in simple term, you say, 123 00:09:37.610 --> 00:09:42.490 get out, I was here before. So what is existence? 124 00:09:42.950 --> 00:09:46.070 I was here before, get out. When you take up 125 00:09:46.269 --> 00:09:49.179 a physical... When you take up a space in the 126 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:55.250 physical realm, you exist. Now, let's assume this is a book. 127 00:09:56.370 --> 00:09:58.769 When you take this book and you put it on 128 00:09:58.809 --> 00:10:03.659 the shelf... that shelf prior to this that shelf was 129 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.490 empty what was there there was space on the shelf 130 00:10:07.909 --> 00:10:10.090 when I took the book and I put it on 131 00:10:10.129 --> 00:10:14.570 the shelf now this book took this space this book 132 00:10:14.669 --> 00:10:20.419 now exists on my shelf When this book took the 133 00:10:20.460 --> 00:10:25.220 space and became existent, can you now bring another book 134 00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:29.090 and put it in the same space that this original 135 00:10:29.139 --> 00:10:33.389 book took? You cannot. Because that space can only be 136 00:10:33.509 --> 00:10:37.169 filled by one thing at a time. Two things at 137 00:10:37.250 --> 00:10:43.700 the same time sharing the same space cannot exist. Are 138 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.600 you with me? Because once the space is filled, you 139 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.840 can't fill it again. The space is taken now. Just 140 00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:52.299 like when you go into any car park and when 141 00:10:52.340 --> 00:10:56.009 you see a space, you park your car. Once you 142 00:10:56.029 --> 00:10:58.870 park your car, can someone else come and park in 143 00:10:58.929 --> 00:11:05.330 the same spot? He will crush your car. Therefore, existence 144 00:11:05.809 --> 00:11:12.450 to be requires conditions. So existence comes with conditions, and 145 00:11:12.490 --> 00:11:15.429 please bear with me, it'll be clear as we go. 146 00:11:16.149 --> 00:11:22.289 Existence requires conditions in order for it to be and continue. Example, 147 00:11:22.889 --> 00:11:26.360 for me to exist and continue to exist, one, I 148 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:31.580 need to eat, I need to drink, I need, very importantly, 149 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.620 to breathe. Without oxygen, I can't exist. I need to 150 00:11:35.659 --> 00:11:39.399 have a shelter, a home, a house. And I need, 151 00:11:39.419 --> 00:11:46.279 that's a good one, I need friends. Mom, dad, I'm 152 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:49.289 going out with my friends. We're just going to hang 153 00:11:49.350 --> 00:11:56.970 around Mecca's, Stockland Mall. Stop ringing me, mom. Stop nagging me, mom. 154 00:11:57.350 --> 00:12:01.230 I'm with me friends, mom. So get a life, mom. 155 00:12:02.070 --> 00:12:08.669 So existence comes with what? Conditions. Conditions. On the other hand, life, 156 00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:13.600 the topic is life versus existence. On the other hand, life, 157 00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:20.759 what is life? Life is the function that it has 158 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:28.370 and the effect that it has on the surroundings. The 159 00:12:28.470 --> 00:12:33.070 life of a thing that exists, the life of a 160 00:12:33.129 --> 00:12:37.019 thing that exists is the function that it has and 161 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:42.100 the effect that it has on the surrounding. Existence has conditions. 162 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:48.840 Life of that existence is the effect and the change 163 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.710 that it brings to that existence. So life came to 164 00:12:52.799 --> 00:13:02.250 change existence. Give you ideas. Fire. Fire gives warmth and 165 00:13:02.330 --> 00:13:06.929 gives light. What did fire now give? Fire gave a 166 00:13:07.090 --> 00:13:12.909 change and an effect to your existence. That is life. Water. 167 00:13:13.330 --> 00:13:18.730 Water made things to live and grow. That's an effect 168 00:13:18.909 --> 00:13:22.190 and a change to that existence. When you planted a 169 00:13:22.269 --> 00:13:26.470 seed in the ground, that seed without water couldn't have 170 00:13:26.590 --> 00:13:31.519 lived and changes happened to it. The seed became a 171 00:13:31.549 --> 00:13:34.440 stump and the stump became a flower and the flower 172 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:38.179 gave

fruits. How did all these changes come about? Because 173 00:13:38.220 --> 00:13:44.789 of life. The seed exists, without life cannot change. If 174 00:13:44.909 --> 00:13:49.879 existence comes with conditions and without conditions cannot continue to exist, 175 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:55.639 life on the other hand makes no demands, no conditions. 176 00:13:56.220 --> 00:14:02.100 Life just knows to give and give only. Without demand, 177 00:14:02.740 --> 00:14:08.100 without conditions. When the sun gives light and warmth, the 178 00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:12.440 sun does not expect anything in return. The sun naturally 179 00:14:12.500 --> 00:14:16.340 gives warmth and gives light. That's what it does because 180 00:14:16.580 --> 00:14:20.710 the sun is the source of life. And life demands nothing, 181 00:14:20.990 --> 00:14:25.250 requests nothing, puts no condition. The sun only knows one 182 00:14:25.269 --> 00:14:30.580 thing to do, is to give without condition. So life 183 00:14:31.299 --> 00:14:36.639 gives with no conditions. Existence cannot exist unless there are conditions. 184 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:44.850 Very important in our life this lesson. Therefore, as long 185 00:14:45.049 --> 00:14:52.289 as you exist, you have the right to live. So 186 00:14:52.330 --> 00:14:57.070 God brought existence first in order to give it life. 187 00:14:57.929 --> 00:15:02.500 As long as you exist, you have the right to live. 188 00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:14.460 But existence has conditions. Life, no conditions. Sometimes my existence 189 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:22.519 and my life don't go hand in hand. Sometimes my 190 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:27.620 existence and my life, there are frictions between them. They 191 00:15:27.940 --> 00:15:32.610 are not living harmoniously. They are not living in unity 192 00:15:33.090 --> 00:15:38.210 and peace. Because sometimes what is good for my existence 193 00:15:39.110 --> 00:15:41.860 may not be good for my life. And what is 194 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:45.559 good for my life may not be good for my existence. 195 00:15:46.649 --> 00:15:52.929 And this is the reason why we are depressed. That's 196 00:15:52.950 --> 00:16:01.870 the next question. What is depression? Depression is a result 197 00:16:01.970 --> 00:16:07.470 of a clash between my existence and my life. When 198 00:16:07.509 --> 00:16:11.909 they don't go hand in hand, I'm depressed. My soul 199 00:16:11.929 --> 00:16:21.019 is alive. but it's barely existent. My body exists, but 200 00:16:21.090 --> 00:16:27.990 it's barely alive. My soul is alive, but it's barely existent. 201 00:16:28.610 --> 00:16:33.629 My body, on the other hand, is 100% in existence, 202 00:16:34.029 --> 00:16:38.149 but it's barely alive. You see, the body exists, but 203 00:16:38.190 --> 00:16:43.480 the soul lives. But for the body to exist and continue, 204 00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:47.200 he needs a soul. Because the soul gives that life. 205 00:16:47.580 --> 00:16:50.779 But for

the life to continue as a soul, it 206 00:16:51.179 --> 00:16:55.519 needs a body. These two, when they don't live together 207 00:16:55.740 --> 00:17:01.250 in peace, the person ends up being depressed. And I'll 208 00:17:01.269 --> 00:17:06.950 explain it why. We need to try, at least, to bring... 209 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.619 my body and my soul, my existence and my life 210 00:17:12.099 --> 00:17:17.140 to live in harmony. Let's take an example of marriage. 211 00:17:17.180 --> 00:17:21.269 How many of us here are married? Show of hands. Yeah, 212 00:17:21.930 --> 00:17:26.910 quite a number. Are you ready? Those who are married, 213 00:17:26.990 --> 00:17:29.789 it's kind of too late. You're already married. But those 214 00:17:29.829 --> 00:17:32.880 who are engaged and looking to be married, it's a 215 00:17:32.910 --> 00:17:36.680 good time for you, brother. It's not too late yet. Now, 216 00:17:38.490 --> 00:17:43.410 Listen to this very important message. I believe anyway, and 217 00:17:43.430 --> 00:17:47.519 I hope the same with you. The lesser you exist, 218 00:17:48.900 --> 00:17:54.230 the more you are alive. The lesser you exist, the 219 00:17:54.269 --> 00:17:58.029 more you are alive. The more you exist, the lesser 220 00:17:58.069 --> 00:18:05.220 you live. In marriage, Why do we have conflicts? Why 221 00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:09.460 do we have arguments? Why do we have quarreling and 222 00:18:09.579 --> 00:18:13.769 fighting between husband and wife and wife and husband? You did, 223 00:18:14.029 --> 00:18:16.029 you said, no, no, no, it's you, it's your fault. 224 00:18:17.069 --> 00:18:21.269 And then there is the World War III erupting. Why? 225 00:18:21.910 --> 00:18:27.029 Because when husband and wife, when both of them are 226 00:18:27.869 --> 00:18:32.490 searching for their own existence, there is no life between them. 227 00:18:35.529 --> 00:18:39.470 What do I mean by existence? What is my existence? 228 00:18:40.019 --> 00:18:45.170 The word simply is me. When I say me, when 229 00:18:45.210 --> 00:18:48.880 I say I am, when I say my way, this 230 00:18:49.180 --> 00:18:53.119 is my existence. What is my existence? The word I am. 231 00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:59.880 Listen mate, it's either my way or you hit the highway. 232 00:19:02.019 --> 00:19:05.220 And I'm not gonna listen, there is no compromises. You 233 00:19:05.380 --> 00:19:09.559 either do it or get out of my face. When 234 00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:14.980 the husband is seeking his way, he is seeking his existence. 235 00:19:16.009 --> 00:19:18.650 He is trying to establish it. He is trying to 236 00:19:18.710 --> 00:19:22.750 reinforce it. He is trying to impose it. And when 237 00:19:22.809 --> 00:19:25.829 the wife is doing the same thing, what's going to happen? 238 00:19:26.210 --> 00:19:31.480 Two existence cannot be sharing the same space. Because once 239 00:19:31.539 --> 00:19:34.400 you fill the gap, the gap is for one. Once 240 00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:37.660 it's filled, another one can't fill the same gap. So 241 00:19:37.700 --> 00:19:40.740 when you try to come and fill the gap, what's happening? 242 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.490 Eruption happens, a nuclear weapon, and it's World War III. 243 00:19:45.869 --> 00:19:49.990 The husband and wife are fighting. Why? Because each one... 244 00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:54.680 is trying to seek their own existence and do things 245 00:19:54.740 --> 00:20:01.259 their way. Their way will be no way. The more 246 00:20:01.299 --> 00:20:07.319 you exist, the less you're alive. And the less you exist, 247 00:20:07.539 --> 00:20:11.650 the more you are alive. Do you wanna live or die? 248 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:16.940 So what is death? Death is when you are in 249 00:20:17.059 --> 00:20:21.450 search of your own existence. When you wanna do things 250 00:20:21.769 --> 00:20:26.049 your way. when you are stubborn about it, when mom 251 00:20:26.309 --> 00:20:29.130 and dad and the bishop and the priest and the 252 00:20:29.170 --> 00:20:31.970 whole world come to you and say, please don't go there. 253 00:20:32.289 --> 00:20:35.940 Please don't do this. Please don't say this. Please don't 254 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:39.339 live this way. And you insist and say, no, I'm 255 00:20:39.420 --> 00:20:42.559 doing it my way. This is Australia. This is the 256 00:20:42.700 --> 00:20:46.329 21st century. It's a free country. I'll do whatever I want. 257 00:20:46.670 --> 00:20:49.950 I'm 16 plus. No one on the face of this 258 00:20:50.069 --> 00:20:52.990 planet dare to tell me what to do it's my 259 00:20:53.089 --> 00:20:57.880 way and it's it when you live this way you 260 00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:05.339 have just killed yourself you're dead because you've seeked your 261 00:21:05.380 --> 00:21:12.890 existence I'm dead when the husband and the wife if 262 00:21:12.970 --> 00:21:19.750 both parties live for the other person there is no 263 00:21:19.769 --> 00:21:28.039 problem If you live for yourself, you'll always fight. And 264 00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:32.240 there will be never the end to it. No matter what. 265 00:21:34.539 --> 00:21:42.049 Because you're trying to force something that never ever existed. 266 00:21:44.170 --> 00:21:48.690 It's only an imagination. Existence, we said, takes up space. 267 00:21:51.130 --> 00:22:00.099 And therefore... existence is embarrassing, existence is childish. What do 268 00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:06.539 I mean by that? Existence alone is embarrassing, existence alone 269 00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:11.880 is foolishness, childish. Actually this morning I was touching base 270 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:18.250 on this. Imagine Well, it's not an imagination. I am 271 00:22:18.269 --> 00:22:23.650 a bishop, so there's no imagination here. But this bishop, imagine, 272 00:22:23.990 --> 00:22:27.599 is in this church by himself. The whole church is 273 00:22:27.619 --> 00:22:34.000 for him. Now, I occupy this whole space. And I've

274 00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:37.579 got plenty of space to breathe, to do whatever I want. 275 00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:40.569 I can go, I can run, I can jump. I 276 00:22:41.029 --> 00:22:44.250 can do whatever I want because the whole space is mine. But... 277 00:22:47.710 --> 00:22:51.049 This is my existence. I'm in this church, therefore I 278 00:22:51.109 --> 00:22:55.210 exist because I've filled this space. Imagine, because I exist, 279 00:22:55.569 --> 00:22:58.839 but at the same time, I'm alone. I'm by myself 280 00:22:58.890 --> 00:23:02.819 in this old church. And then I stand and start preaching. 281 00:23:03.460 --> 00:23:06.480 Who am I preaching to? I'll be preaching to the walls. 282 00:23:07.140 --> 00:23:15.460 Isn't that childish? Isn't that foolish? Isn't that nonsense? And 283 00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:20.349 then you come. And then you fill the gap that 284 00:23:20.369 --> 00:23:27.789 I once preoccupied. Now, it's cramped. I feel kind of 285 00:23:27.849 --> 00:23:31.269 tight now. I feel kind of uncomfortable now because you 286 00:23:31.289 --> 00:23:36.210 took the space that I once occupied. But guess what? 287 00:23:37.049 --> 00:23:42.299 Even though I became... Kind of tight, kind of uncomfortable. 288 00:23:42.819 --> 00:23:47.549 Someone is invading my space, as they say. Someone is 289 00:23:47.630 --> 00:23:51.589 coming into my territory. But I was glad that you 290 00:23:51.650 --> 00:23:59.910 came because without you, I'm nothing. So what I'm a bishop? 291 00:24:01.970 --> 00:24:06.259 As long as I exist, I'm nothing. Because my existence 292 00:24:06.299 --> 00:24:09.519 means it's only me. And only me, what am I 293 00:24:09.559 --> 00:24:11.890 going to do with me? I'll talk to walls, I'll 294 00:24:11.910 --> 00:24:14.609 go crazy, I'll go nuts. And if you see someone 295 00:24:14.670 --> 00:24:19.440 talking to himself, they'll say, some of these cables are... 296 00:24:22.690 --> 00:24:26.650 But when you came and occupied this space with me, 297 00:24:26.970 --> 00:24:31.109 I was glad. Why? Because your presence gave meaning to 298 00:24:31.150 --> 00:24:36.539 my existence, to my value. Now when I preach, I'm 299 00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:42.500 preaching to you. And this has meaning to it. There 300 00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:46.200 is morals to it. There is value to it. A 301 00:24:46.259 --> 00:24:50.529 guy comes, he says, father, you know, I don't know 302 00:24:50.549 --> 00:24:52.710 what I do with this, you know, like I'm alone. 303 00:24:54.049 --> 00:24:59.609 It's boring. I want to get married. I want to 304 00:24:59.890 --> 00:25:03.500 establish a family. I want to settle down. I don't 305 00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:06.579 want to be this crazy guy going and jumping. And 306 00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:09.480 I've been with me mates for all these years, mate. 307 00:25:09.859 --> 00:25:15.390 But I got to change. I got to change. So 308 00:25:15.430 --> 00:25:18.400 you're alone, you've got all the space for yourself. You 309 00:25:18.420 --> 00:25:21.180 go out whenever you want, you come in whenever you want, 310 00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:24.420 you do things your way. You're alone, you're free, you 311 00:25:24.460 --> 00:25:27.259 can do it. But then that does not give you happiness. 312 00:25:27.619 --> 00:25:30.720 I'm alone, I need a partner. You find a partner, 313 00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:38.509 and now you're fighting. Which one? Here I'm free, but 314 00:25:38.529 --> 00:25:44.430 I'm not happy. Here, I'm finding my happiness, but I'm miserably... 315 00:25:44.950 --> 00:25:50.309 angry and fighting all the time. Existence only will give 316 00:25:50.329 --> 00:25:57.410 you depression. I exist and because I exist, I'm depressed. 317 00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:01.380 And for as long as I exist for myself, I'll 318 00:26:01.420 --> 00:26:06.680 always be depressed emotionally. And this is exactly the reason 319 00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:10.140 why sometimes I don't want to get out of my bed. 320 00:26:12.569 --> 00:26:16.089 What's the point? I got up and I washed my 321 00:26:16.150 --> 00:26:19.730 face and I ate and I drank and then what? 322 00:26:20.049 --> 00:26:22.029 And then I went out and then what? And I 323 00:26:22.069 --> 00:26:24.130 talked to my friends and then what? And I went 324 00:26:24.170 --> 00:26:26.170 to watch the movie and then what? And I came 325 00:26:26.210 --> 00:26:31.779 back and I'm still miserably depressed because depression is the 326 00:26:31.819 --> 00:26:37.750 result of me searching for my existence. And the more 327 00:26:37.829 --> 00:26:42.029 you put an effort to find your existence and to 328 00:26:42.170 --> 00:26:45.690 impose your existence, the heavier the load will get on you. 329 00:26:46.049 --> 00:26:48.410 And the heavier the load, the more depressed you are. 330 00:26:49.950 --> 00:26:54.210 So to get away from depression and to abolish depression 331 00:26:54.230 --> 00:26:59.750 in your life, stop searching for your existence. Stop doing 332 00:26:59.970 --> 00:27:05.009 things your way. Stop saying, me, me, me, me. Stop, 333 00:27:05.210 --> 00:27:10.460 let go of you and live for a change. So 334 00:27:10.500 --> 00:27:16.960 what's the solution to depression? How are you? Not good. 335 00:27:17.829 --> 00:27:20.349 What are you doing? Nothing. Do you want to go out? 336 00:27:20.710 --> 00:27:23.190 What's the point? Do you want to eat? Nah. Do 337 00:27:25.269 --> 00:27:28.970 you want to go to church? No. Do you want 338 00:27:28.990 --> 00:27:32.039 to sing? Shut up. What do you want to do? 339 00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:36.059 I don't know. Leave me alone. So what's the solution 340 00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:40.000 out of this depression? You know, there is a word, 341 00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:46.529 we use it sometimes. Get a life. Have you ever 342 00:27:46.569 --> 00:27:49.849 said it to someone? Get a life, will you? You've 343 00:27:49.890 --> 00:27:56.220 said it in a sarcastic way.

Like, You said it 344 00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:58.849 in a kind of funny way. Just get a life, mate. 345 00:27:59.730 --> 00:28:05.250 But did you know it's a true statement? Now you're 346 00:28:05.329 --> 00:28:07.930 speaking the truth now. Now you are really telling the truth. 347 00:28:08.269 --> 00:28:11.809 When you say to someone, get a life, that's exactly 348 00:28:12.049 --> 00:28:15.450 the whole point. Everyone needs to get a life. But 349 00:28:15.529 --> 00:28:17.430 not in the way that you said it, in a 350 00:28:17.490 --> 00:28:21.509 sarcastic way. But really, this is the right way everybody 351 00:28:21.569 --> 00:28:24.809 should be saying to each other, get a life, get 352 00:28:24.849 --> 00:28:30.940 a life. So let's get a life. Stop worrying about 353 00:28:31.049 --> 00:28:36.630 your own existence. Start worrying about someone else's existence. You 354 00:28:36.650 --> 00:28:40.210 want to get a life? Stop worrying about yourself. Start 355 00:28:40.289 --> 00:28:43.009 worrying about someone else. Then you will get a life. 356 00:28:43.869 --> 00:28:47.650 If the husband worried about the existence of his wife, 357 00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:51.160 and if the wife worried about the existence of her husband, 358 00:28:51.579 --> 00:28:55.240 they both got a life. And when you get a life... 359 00:28:56.019 --> 00:29:00.299 You can never die. So what is death when I exist? 360 00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:06.480 What is life when I don't exist? I live for 361 00:29:06.500 --> 00:29:13.490 the existence of the one I love. If everyone asked 362 00:29:13.529 --> 00:29:17.490 the Lord Jesus to help them to live for the 363 00:29:17.549 --> 00:29:21.710 existence of their partner, everybody would have got a life. 364 00:29:23.849 --> 00:29:28.059 So please increase this word between each other. Get alive, 365 00:29:28.460 --> 00:29:34.000 get alive, get alive. Stop existing, get alive. So what 366 00:29:34.059 --> 00:29:39.970 is the life? A life is what makes the difference. 367 00:29:40.869 --> 00:29:48.319 Life contributes. Life does not take, life gives. Existence takes, 368 00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:52.099 never gives. Now the other question that we asked earlier, 369 00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:57.490 what is humility? When you say you're nothing... In a 370 00:29:57.569 --> 00:30:01.410 way that your life is meaningless. There is no meaning 371 00:30:01.450 --> 00:30:05.029 to all this. I can tell you this. A moment 372 00:30:05.210 --> 00:30:13.130 of your life is of infinite value to eternity. A 373 00:30:13.299 --> 00:30:17.660 moment of your life is of infinite value to eternity. 374 00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:22.000 Your life is so precious. Your life is so valuable. 375 00:30:22.380 --> 00:30:25.599 It is beyond any measures that you could think of. 376 00:30:26.700 --> 00:30:29.789 Don't ever say, what kind of a life is this? 377 00:30:30.380 --> 00:30:39.470 Life is absolute precious. Therefore, my beloved, existence is embarrassing 378 00:30:39.950 --> 00:30:45.309 because when I think about myself, this is embarrassing, this 379 00:30:45.390 --> 00:30:49.680 is childish. What do children do? What do children do? 380 00:30:50.019 --> 00:30:54.359 They fight so they can take their own space. This 381 00:30:54.460 --> 00:31:00.079 is my room. Girls, sisters at home. The sister comes 382 00:31:00.140 --> 00:31:03.480 into the other sister's room. It's World War III. How 383 00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:06.319 dare you come into my room? You are rude. You 384 00:31:06.339 --> 00:31:08.849 don't even knock at the door. You come into my room. 385 00:31:09.180 --> 00:31:13.890 Why we're fighting? Because you came to invade my existence, 386 00:31:14.049 --> 00:31:18.309 my space that I occupy. How dare you invade my existence? 387 00:31:18.710 --> 00:31:23.200 This is childish, like little kids fighting over a toy. 388 00:31:23.500 --> 00:31:27.259 It's mine. It's yours. It's mine. It's not. And when 389 00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:29.400 you look at the kids, what do you do? You laugh. 390 00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:33.839 You say, oh, that's very childish. But don't we act 391 00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:36.859 like those little kids? A lot of times we do. 392 00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:39.680 So if you want to laugh next time, laugh at yourself. 393 00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:43.180 And say to yourself, am I a little kid when 394 00:31:43.339 --> 00:31:50.690 I fight over things? That's childish. Childish. This is my laptop. 395 00:31:51.069 --> 00:31:54.839 This is my iPad. This is my mascara, piscara. This 396 00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:57.599 is my Chanel. This is my I don't know what. 397 00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:01.160 This is my car. This is my dress. These are 398 00:32:01.180 --> 00:32:07.099 my shoes. You wear them, I smack you. Isn't that childish? 399 00:32:07.700 --> 00:32:12.210 Existence is embarrassing. You're making a fool of yourself if 400 00:32:12.250 --> 00:32:15.410 you're seeking your existence. You're acting like a little kid, 401 00:32:15.670 --> 00:32:18.750 yet you're a grown up. Grow up and get a life. 402 00:32:21.230 --> 00:32:24.119 So let's get a life. Forget about your room. When 403 00:32:24.140 --> 00:32:27.960 your sister comes, say, Sis, this is your room before 404 00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:33.480 it's mine, Habibi. Sis, when I bought this Chanel, I 405 00:32:33.529 --> 00:32:40.009 thought of you. Liar. Sis, can I borrow your car? 406 00:32:41.630 --> 00:32:45.319 Do you need to ask? Are you serious? This is 407 00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:52.349 your car, baby. Take it. Now this is a life. Wow. 408 00:32:53.019 --> 00:32:56.519 Everyone is happy. The one who gives is happy and 409 00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:59.259 the one who receives is happy. And the next time 410 00:32:59.539 --> 00:33:01.799 what you gave is going to come back to you. 411 00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:05.470 Just like you gave your car, your sister one day 412 00:33:06.170 --> 00:33:10.369 will give you her car when you

need it. Your 413 00:33:10.430 --> 00:33:12.730 sister will give you the Chanel that she borrowed of 414 00:33:12.750 --> 00:33:16.529 you the last time. And sharing and caring is a 415 00:33:16.569 --> 00:33:21.789 beautiful life. But being selfish is absolute death. And it 416 00:33:21.849 --> 00:33:27.490 makes no sense for you to die. For what? It's childish. 417 00:33:29.339 --> 00:33:38.660 Stop living for yourself. Stop exist. Stop it. Let go 418 00:33:38.819 --> 00:33:43.359 of yourself and of your egos. This is the reason 419 00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:50.019 why our teenagers are always angry. What's wrong with you guys? 420 00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:58.470 Why our youth, always on like ready to attack. They 421 00:33:58.490 --> 00:34:01.789 want to pull the sword. Relax brother, what's wrong with you? 422 00:34:01.829 --> 00:34:07.329 Why you're on the edge all the time? Aha, aha. 423 00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:14.889 And especially the teenagers are always angry with their parents. Especially. 424 00:34:15.969 --> 00:34:19.789 Not so much with their friends, but with their parents. 425 00:34:22.269 --> 00:34:28.469 It's like Bruce Lee, karate. Mom talks, blood pressure goes up. 426 00:34:29.929 --> 00:34:34.119 I was fine until my mom opened her mouth. I 427 00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:38.800 was doing okay until my mom spoke. I was fine 428 00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:43.460 until my dad spoke. I was fine until my parents spoke. 429 00:34:43.949 --> 00:34:49.190 Why are you guys angry? Because kids, the reason why 430 00:34:49.230 --> 00:34:54.769 they are angry, because the children are always living to exist. 431 00:34:57.070 --> 00:35:01.679 They are seeking their own existence. That's why they're angry. 432 00:35:02.539 --> 00:35:07.659 You say as a daughter, you say, mom always tries 433 00:35:07.780 --> 00:35:12.250 to ruin my life. Don't you say that? Mom, you're 434 00:35:12.269 --> 00:35:15.190 ruining my life. You're ruining my day. I was fine. 435 00:35:15.210 --> 00:35:17.590 You came and just you spoiled it all. And the 436 00:35:17.630 --> 00:35:22.610 son says, I wish my dad never spoke. Every time 437 00:35:22.670 --> 00:35:25.230 I want to go out, where are you going? When 438 00:35:25.250 --> 00:35:27.090 are you coming back? What are you going to do? 439 00:35:27.110 --> 00:35:30.460 Who are you meeting? He is ruining my life. Dad, 440 00:35:30.900 --> 00:35:33.130 I'm getting out of your way. I'm going to find 441 00:35:33.170 --> 00:35:36.929 my own life. You know, in that parable of the 442 00:35:36.989 --> 00:35:39.969 prodigal son, where the Lord Jesus gave it in Luke 443 00:35:39.989 --> 00:35:44.250 chapter 15, this son, the younger son, was living with 444 00:35:44.289 --> 00:35:49.079 his dad. He's living absolutely luxurious lifestyle. But one day came, 445 00:35:49.139 --> 00:35:51.619 this son said to his dad, he said, dad, you know, 446 00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:54.619 you're a beautiful dad. You give me everything. You buy 447 00:35:54.659 --> 00:35:58.300 me everything. You spoil me too much money, things, gift, left, right, 448 00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:01.500 and center. But you know what, dad? you don't let 449 00:36:01.579 --> 00:36:04.239 me have a life so I'm gonna leave you I'm 450 00:36:04.260 --> 00:36:07.340 gonna leave your home because I wanna live for a 451 00:36:07.389 --> 00:36:13.590 change but the problem again with this question or with 452 00:36:13.630 --> 00:36:17.489 this statement the whole statement is wrong your mom is 453 00:36:17.570 --> 00:36:21.289 not ruining your life your mom is ruining your existence 454 00:36:22.409 --> 00:36:28.800 not your life because mom is interfering with my space 455 00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:35.489 Because mom, why would mom want to destroy your life? 456 00:36:36.030 --> 00:36:39.110 She gave birth to you. She gave you that life. 457 00:36:39.550 --> 00:36:43.230 It is absolutely makes no sense for mom who gave 458 00:36:43.289 --> 00:36:45.530 that life to you to come back and take it 459 00:36:45.570 --> 00:36:48.780 away from you. Why would she do that? Doesn't make sense. 460 00:36:50.869 --> 00:36:57.980 Mom cannot ruin life because life can never be ruined. 461 00:36:58.420 --> 00:37:02.199 Life can only live. No one can take it. No 462 00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:05.380 one can change it. No one can stop it because 463 00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:08.199 the one who gave this life is God. And what 464 00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:12.639 God gives, no one can take away. So mom can't 465 00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:16.099 kill life because life can never die and death can 466 00:37:16.139 --> 00:37:20.500 never live. So mom can't ruin, mom can't kill life 467 00:37:20.699 --> 00:37:26.190 because life only knows to live and to give. So therefore, 468 00:37:27.329 --> 00:37:29.469 mom is getting on my nerves because she is ruining 469 00:37:29.530 --> 00:37:36.170 my space, my existence. Mom walks into your room. Daughter, 470 00:37:37.369 --> 00:37:41.590 come with me. Mom, listen, get out of my room. 471 00:37:42.949 --> 00:37:45.929 Excuse me, what did you say? You heard me, mom. 472 00:37:46.289 --> 00:37:51.650 Get out of my room. Mom and dad, both parents, 473 00:37:53.030 --> 00:37:55.280 mom and dad will come back to you and say, 474 00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:59.960 excuse me, this is not your room. This is my 475 00:38:00.019 --> 00:38:04.960 room because you are living in my house. And for 476 00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:07.280 as long as you live in my house, you do 477 00:38:07.340 --> 00:38:12.809 it my way. So, mom and dad, it is natural 478 00:38:12.889 --> 00:38:17.210 for them to invade your space because your space is 479 00:38:17.269 --> 00:38:21.570 never yours, never was, never will be. That space is 480 00:38:21.730 --> 00:38:25.179 always the parents because you live in their house, they 481 00:38:25.219 --> 00:38:30.800 don't live in your house. Do you see why we fight? 482 00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:35.409 And we say

the wrong things. So I'm trying to 483 00:38:35.469 --> 00:38:38.570 say to my mom, this is my room, meaning I'm 484 00:38:38.670 --> 00:38:41.909 occupying this space, meaning I exist here, so get out 485 00:38:41.949 --> 00:38:44.710 of my sight, because I am here first, so you 486 00:38:44.750 --> 00:38:46.789 can't be here. I was here first, so get out 487 00:38:46.809 --> 00:38:49.130 of my room. But that room is not yours. The 488 00:38:49.170 --> 00:38:52.730 house is the mom's and the dad's. The space is theirs. 489 00:38:53.010 --> 00:38:56.449 The existence is theirs. You are living in their existence. 490 00:38:56.769 --> 00:39:00.489 And when you challenge their existence, you're asking for trouble. 491 00:39:01.449 --> 00:39:04.380 So mom will say, For as long as you live 492 00:39:04.460 --> 00:39:07.840 in my house, you'll do it my way. And you 493 00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:11.280 better be nice to me for me in order for 494 00:39:11.320 --> 00:39:14.929 me to think about letting you sleep in my room. 495 00:39:16.269 --> 00:39:22.590 Are you with me? Parents have the right to be parents. 496 00:39:24.449 --> 00:39:30.219 So when children are saying to their parents, get out 497 00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:34.659 of my sight, they are saying, we exist without you. 498 00:39:35.300 --> 00:39:40.239 This never was, never is, never will be. Because the 499 00:39:40.380 --> 00:39:44.449 existence of the kids are the parents. And this is 500 00:39:44.510 --> 00:39:51.719 what happens. What is death? is when I deny my existence. 501 00:39:53.639 --> 00:39:59.949 In other words, who is my existence? My parents. That's 502 00:40:00.030 --> 00:40:05.489 why the Lord God said, honor your mother and father. 503 00:40:07.230 --> 00:40:12.139 You'll come to this statement and you'll say, and parents 504 00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:18.010 always smack you with this. Jesus said, honor your mom 505 00:40:18.050 --> 00:40:23.050 and dad. Remember this, okay? And when you don't honor me, 506 00:40:23.090 --> 00:40:26.969 what's going to happen? The Lord God says, honor your 507 00:40:27.050 --> 00:40:30.920 mom and dad so that I can give you a life. 508 00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:39.110 Have you ever noticed what the Lord God says? Honor 509 00:40:39.150 --> 00:40:41.829 your mom and dad so that I can give you 510 00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:45.699 an abundant life and a long one. The more you 511 00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:49.539 honor them, the more you will live. You don't honor them, 512 00:40:50.099 --> 00:40:54.800 I'll take that life away. Why? Because the only way 513 00:40:54.920 --> 00:40:58.119 for you to live is to deny your existence. When 514 00:40:58.159 --> 00:41:02.260 you deny your existence, then who is truly your existence? 515 00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:08.730 Your parents. They are truly your existence. Because they are 516 00:41:08.809 --> 00:41:11.940 the reason for you to come. The reason for you 517 00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:14.940 to be alive because they

became your existence. They gave 518 00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:18.039 life to you. They gave birth to you. And when 519 00:41:18.079 --> 00:41:20.320 they gave birth to you, they gave you life. And 520 00:41:20.380 --> 00:41:23.179 the reason why you were alive because they were your existence. 521 00:41:23.579 --> 00:41:28.550 The moment you challenge this existence, you're dead. Yes? So 522 00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:32.110 honoring mom and dad is not like, do I really 523 00:41:32.130 --> 00:41:36.090 have to do this? Life would have been much better 524 00:41:36.130 --> 00:41:39.980 without the hassle of, yes mom, yes dad. I don't 525 00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:42.239 want to say, I don't want to be Mr. Yes. 526 00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:47.139 I want to do it a different way. But the 527 00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:48.960 question will come back to you and haunt you. Do 528 00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:51.800 you want to live? If you say yes, then you 529 00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:55.309 have to acknowledge your existence, which is your parents. Because 530 00:41:55.349 --> 00:42:00.739 without them, you wouldn't have existed. So who is your existence? 531 00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:04.019 Your parents. And because they are your existence, and as 532 00:42:04.139 --> 00:42:07.599 long as they are your existence, you're alive. The moment 533 00:42:07.699 --> 00:42:15.380 you find your own existence, you can't be alive, you're dead. Now, 534 00:42:17.260 --> 00:42:24.409 who is our ultimate existence? God. Who is the ultimate 535 00:42:24.530 --> 00:42:29.360 parent to us? God. And the reason why the Lord 536 00:42:29.429 --> 00:42:33.139 God gave this commandment and said respect your mom and dad. 537 00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:38.480 Why didn't he say respect your wife? So I can 538 00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:40.739 bless you and give you a life. Why didn't he 539 00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:43.980 say respect your husband? Why didn't he say respect your bishop? 540 00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:47.800 He said respect mom and dad. Why? Because God is 541 00:42:47.820 --> 00:42:53.760 the mother and the father and with all that it 542 00:42:53.820 --> 00:42:57.099 carries with it. The disciples came to the Lord Jesus, 543 00:42:57.579 --> 00:43:01.099 and they said, Lord, teach us how to pray. He said, 544 00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:04.260 every time you pray, you say, our Father who art 545 00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:07.920 in heaven. So what is God? My dad. And in 546 00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:11.059 the book of Isaiah, the Lord God says, if the 547 00:43:11.179 --> 00:43:16.239 mother forgets to breastfeed her own baby, I, the Lord God, 548 00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:19.199 will never forget you. How is he representing himself here? 549 00:43:19.510 --> 00:43:22.710 As the mother. So God is the father and God 550 00:43:22.769 --> 00:43:25.630 is the mother. He is the provider, He is the protector. 551 00:43:26.389 --> 00:43:32.760 The father protects, the mother provides. So he is the 552 00:43:32.900 -->

00:43:37.000 ultimate parents, both father and mother. And that's why he 553 00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:41.130 gave that to the parents, to the physical, to the 554 00:43:41.489 --> 00:43:46.369 earthly parents. Because he said, the only ones that truly 555 00:43:46.650 --> 00:43:49.530 represents me are the parents. When you respect them, you 556 00:43:49.570 --> 00:43:53.230 respect me. And since I am the source of existence 557 00:43:53.269 --> 00:43:57.590 to you, when you live for my existence, you're alive. 558 00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:01.559 When you live for your own existence... you've denied me 559 00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:06.219 as being God, your existence, then you're dead. Because without God, 560 00:44:06.420 --> 00:44:10.659 we are all dead. Even if we are breathing, going 561 00:44:10.780 --> 00:44:15.570 and coming, but spiritually, definitely dead. And the reason why 562 00:44:15.610 --> 00:44:19.590 we argue at home and we fight at home, because 563 00:44:19.789 --> 00:44:23.469 as youngsters living at home, we don't have a life 564 00:44:24.699 --> 00:44:27.380 for mom to ruin. Because I don't have it. What 565 00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:31.659 do I have? I have existence. I don't have a life. 566 00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:37.760 And my existence is what my mom is trying to challenge. 567 00:44:39.340 --> 00:44:42.460 When you're living at home under your parents' roof and 568 00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:44.719 you want to do things your way, you're saying to 569 00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:50.380 your parents, I exist, you don't. That can never be. 570 00:44:52.139 --> 00:44:55.760 Because that was never the case and never will be. 571 00:44:56.840 --> 00:45:00.659 Because from day one, your existence are the parents'. So 572 00:45:00.679 --> 00:45:04.539 you're trying to take their place and live in the 573 00:45:04.579 --> 00:45:08.139 same space. Can you put two books in the same space? 574 00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:11.780 Can you put two cars in the same space? You can't. 575 00:45:13.159 --> 00:45:17.880 Only one thing occupies any space at any given moment. 576 00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:23.199 So when the parents who are truly your existence and 577 00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:26.059 you come along and you want to take that existence, 578 00:45:26.099 --> 00:45:32.679 meaning occupying that space, Argument and fighting happens in the family. 579 00:45:34.889 --> 00:45:37.010 So how do I honor my mom and dad so 580 00:45:37.050 --> 00:45:38.989 the Lord God can bless me and give me a 581 00:45:39.030 --> 00:45:44.710 long life? Next time mom says, can you wash the dishes, sweetie? 582 00:45:45.949 --> 00:45:50.389 You say, of course, mom, anything for you. Do boys 583 00:45:50.429 --> 00:45:52.650 and girls that live with mom and dads at home, 584 00:45:52.849 --> 00:45:57.690 do yourself a favor. You better challenge your mom to 585 00:45:57.750 --> 00:46:01.170 be always a mom. And you better challenge your dad 586 00:46:01.210 --> 00:46:04.719 to be always your dad. Because if mom is not mom, 587 00:46:04.860 --> 00:46:08.940 you don't live. Because she is your existence. And when 588 00:46:09.059 --> 00:46:13.039 mom becomes someone else, you have denied your existence. When 589 00:46:13.059 --> 00:46:16.889 you've denied your existence, you don't live. So you better 590 00:46:16.909 --> 00:46:19.969 make sure she is always mom. And as a mother, 591 00:46:20.070 --> 00:46:23.590 her job is to say to you, firstly, no. No. 592 00:46:25.349 --> 00:46:30.559 Why no? Because this is the only way mom is 593 00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:36.329 able to express and explain to you that I exist, 594 00:46:36.610 --> 00:46:41.840 you don't. I'm the owner, you don't. It's my space, 595 00:46:42.300 --> 00:46:45.599 it's not yours. This is my home, it's not yours. 596 00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:49.440 This is my bed, it's not yours. This is my room, 597 00:46:49.739 --> 00:46:53.380 it's not yours. But out of love and kindness, I'm 598 00:46:53.539 --> 00:46:59.309 allowing you to occupy my space, meaning existence, on one condition, 599 00:46:59.849 --> 00:47:04.329 that you honor me, respect me. Otherwise, if you don't, 600 00:47:04.949 --> 00:47:11.320 you cannot live. Get out. Why was Adam kicked out 601 00:47:11.360 --> 00:47:14.599 of the garden because the garden of Eden, because the 602 00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:19.460 garden of Eden is the space that is occupied by God. 603 00:47:19.820 --> 00:47:24.289 God is the king. God is the ruler. God is 604 00:47:24.510 --> 00:47:29.190 the sovereign authority. God is the only one that occupies 605 00:47:29.510 --> 00:47:33.750 and exists there. Adam wanted to be like God, meaning 606 00:47:33.989 --> 00:47:36.780 he wanted to be another me in the same space. 607 00:47:37.059 --> 00:47:40.860 God said, it's either me or the highway. You Either 608 00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:43.199 do it my way or you hit the highway, Adam. 609 00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:46.579 For as long as I am your existence, you live. 610 00:47:47.460 --> 00:47:51.809 The moment that comes that you become your own existence, 611 00:47:52.250 --> 00:47:57.530 you're dead. It's not that God killed me. It's because 612 00:47:58.110 --> 00:48:02.179 I lived for my own existence. But you know what? 613 00:48:02.940 --> 00:48:06.260 When God created Adam and all of us are Adams, 614 00:48:07.429 --> 00:48:10.840 Read the Holy Bible carefully and thoroughly. What does it 615 00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:14.079 say about Adam? And then it says, And the Lord 616 00:48:14.119 --> 00:48:19.539 God breathed into the nostrils of Adam the breath of life, 617 00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:24.960 and Adam became a living soul. What did I say earlier? 618 00:48:24.980 --> 00:48:32.139 I am a soul. My soul lives, barely exists. I 619 00:48:32.179 --> 00:48:38.400 have a body. My body exists, barely lives. And Adam 620 00:48:38.460 --> 00:48:43.019 became a what? A living soul. A living soul does 621 00:48:43.099 --> 00:48:48.559 not

have its own existence. A living soul's existence is God. 622 00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:54.739 So Adam lived as long as God was his existence. Meaning, 623 00:48:56.099 --> 00:48:59.000 Adam had to do things the way daddy wants it, 624 00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:03.550 not I want it. When the day came, Adam broke 625 00:49:03.739 --> 00:49:09.079 daddy's word. ate from the forbidden tree, something was born 626 00:49:09.239 --> 00:49:14.389 in Adam that was never there before. What was it? Mwah. 627 00:49:15.710 --> 00:49:19.230 The I am was born in Adam when he broke 628 00:49:19.369 --> 00:49:23.840 God's word. what is i am existence what is existence 629 00:49:24.300 --> 00:49:28.900 now i have filled the space with me not with 630 00:49:28.940 --> 00:49:34.349 god i trespassed Now I want to be in the 631 00:49:34.409 --> 00:49:37.250 house of the Lord my way. I want to live 632 00:49:37.349 --> 00:49:41.630 in my father's house my way. The father will always 633 00:49:41.710 --> 00:49:46.449 be father. The mother will always be mother. They cannot change. 634 00:49:46.789 --> 00:49:49.929 Don't force them to change because they will never change. 635 00:49:52.289 --> 00:49:58.179 Because father means exist. Mother means exist. You take my existence, 636 00:49:58.440 --> 00:50:02.659 I'll tell you off. So don't be shocked when mom 637 00:50:02.909 --> 00:50:08.409 and dad say to you, no. Because that's their job 638 00:50:08.429 --> 00:50:13.210 to do. For as long as they are the existence, 639 00:50:13.369 --> 00:50:20.719 you live. The moment you exist, you die. Existence versus life. 640 00:50:21.760 --> 00:50:26.420 Is it really? Should it be this way? No. They 641 00:50:26.440 --> 00:50:29.619 need to live in harmony. They need to join together. 642 00:50:30.570 --> 00:50:36.630 In unity. How is it gonna join in unity? The 643 00:50:36.690 --> 00:50:42.219 moment that I begin to live for someone else's existence, 644 00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:50.360 I will live. When kids live for their parents, they're happy. 645 00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:57.909 The day that comes, kids go against their parents because 646 00:50:57.949 --> 00:51:02.110 they are searching for their own existence, They can never 647 00:51:02.170 --> 00:51:06.769 be happy. They're depressed all the time. They are vacuumed, 648 00:51:07.030 --> 00:51:13.480 empty from inside. Why? Because they tried to establish something 649 00:51:14.179 --> 00:51:17.880 that they were never created to be. You were created 650 00:51:18.760 --> 00:51:22.820 to not have existence because your existence is God, your parents. 651 00:51:23.739 --> 00:51:26.949 So when you create something that is not in you, 652 00:51:29.110 --> 00:51:34.449 you killed yourself. When kids do things their way and 653 00:51:34.610 --> 00:51:38.429 go out of the parents house in search of freedom, 654 00:51:38.869 --> 00:51:45.380 in search of peace, in search of, you know, fullness, value. 655 00:51:45.800 --> 00:51:47.860 So

what do they do? They go out and they say, 656 00:51:47.940 --> 00:51:52.559 now I am living because no more parents nagging me 657 00:51:53.059 --> 00:51:57.780 and choking me. What happens to these kids? 100% they 658 00:51:57.800 --> 00:52:06.869 get in trouble. 100%. You can never escape this. You 659 00:52:06.909 --> 00:52:11.789 know why? Because God intended it to be this way. 660 00:52:12.250 --> 00:52:15.369 That as long as the parents are your roots, are 661 00:52:15.389 --> 00:52:20.070 your existence, you will live abundantly and a blessed life. 662 00:52:20.489 --> 00:52:24.619 The moment you live for yourself, you are living for 663 00:52:24.659 --> 00:52:29.840 an existence that never existed. You are destroying your life. 664 00:52:31.710 --> 00:52:37.389 Now parents, we have physical parents, we have spiritual parents, 665 00:52:37.789 --> 00:52:47.179 we have divine parent, God. Any of these parents, we disrespect, 666 00:52:47.940 --> 00:52:51.840 we destroy ourselves. You know what's the problem of the 667 00:52:52.059 --> 00:52:58.639 21st century, the western world is one thing. They want 668 00:52:59.019 --> 00:53:09.230 to abolish parenthood The original sin is the abolishment of parenthood. 669 00:53:12.449 --> 00:53:20.110 Why did Adam die? Because he denied God's existence. The 670 00:53:20.150 --> 00:53:30.809 Western world will always teach you to live an individualistic lifestyle. You, you, 671 00:53:30.869 --> 00:53:35.610 you as an individual. They drive this very forcefully. They 672 00:53:35.710 --> 00:53:41.300 teach it through the educational systems. Schools everywhere. Mom, dad 673 00:53:41.780 --> 00:53:47.139 touch you, say something. Triple zero, bro. You're 16. You're 674 00:53:47.179 --> 00:53:50.940 entitled to leave home. And you can live for yourself. 675 00:53:51.079 --> 00:53:56.639 The government will support you. Now, some might say... In 676 00:53:56.659 --> 00:53:58.679 the Western world, it's got to be this way because 677 00:53:58.900 --> 00:54:01.480 the West is the West and the East is the East. Marmarie, 678 00:54:01.519 --> 00:54:03.969 you come from the East. You're trying to implement the 679 00:54:03.989 --> 00:54:07.349 East into the West. No. Who created the East and 680 00:54:07.369 --> 00:54:09.590 the West and the North and the South is one. 681 00:54:10.090 --> 00:54:13.150 And that is God. But the problem of the West, 682 00:54:13.610 --> 00:54:17.780 they have denied their existence. And who is their existence? God. 683 00:54:19.539 --> 00:54:22.360 The moment they denied their existence, they died. They died. 684 00:54:24.789 --> 00:54:30.679 That's why they drive everything that produces death. Western world 685 00:54:30.909 --> 00:54:39.199 does not focus on family value. It's individual value. You're 686 00:54:39.219 --> 00:54:42.659 a teenager now, you're free, you're mature enough. No one 687 00:54:42.699 --> 00:54:48.010 can tell you what to do. You're not happy, leave. Divide, 688 00:54:48.030 --> 00:54:51.989 you know they say something in English, you want to conquer, divide, 689 00:54:52.429 --> 00:54:56.130 then you can conquer. Divide and conquer. Because when you divide, 690 00:54:56.369 --> 00:54:58.800 you're making it weak. And when you make that thing weak, 691 00:54:58.860 --> 00:55:03.780 you'll always control it. When you're on your own, you 692 00:55:03.840 --> 00:55:07.599 are vulnerable. You are susceptible to anything that goes wrong. 693 00:55:07.860 --> 00:55:10.559 Because when you're alone, anyone can come and break you. 694 00:55:10.800 --> 00:55:14.889 But when you are one unit, family, held together, no 695 00:55:14.949 --> 00:55:20.289 one can break you. Why does the home collapses? Because 696 00:55:20.329 --> 00:55:24.050 there is division. Because everyone at home is trying to 697 00:55:24.090 --> 00:55:27.110 live for themselves, not for the other. If the brother 698 00:55:27.150 --> 00:55:30.110 lived for his sister, if the sister lived for her brother, 699 00:55:30.429 --> 00:55:32.250 if the dad lived for the son and the son 700 00:55:32.309 --> 00:55:34.510 for the dad, the mother for the daughter and the 701 00:55:34.550 --> 00:55:37.150 daughter for the mother, the home is built on the 702 00:55:37.190 --> 00:55:40.809 rock and that is Christ Jesus. Who can bring it down? 703 00:55:41.170 --> 00:55:44.090 No one. When God is with me, who can be 704 00:55:44.199 --> 00:55:50.500 against me? When God is my rock, no cyclone, no earthquake, 705 00:55:50.820 --> 00:55:55.010 no tidal waves, nothing will bring that house down. Because 706 00:55:55.320 --> 00:56:00.110 everything is under the foot of Christ. But the moment 707 00:56:00.829 --> 00:56:03.409 I begin to live for myself, and then I get 708 00:56:03.789 --> 00:56:08.469 driven that way, family collapses. And when the family collapses, 709 00:56:09.869 --> 00:56:17.690 children get lost. Destroyed. My young people, I love you guys. 710 00:56:18.670 --> 00:56:22.309 Don't ever think outside of home somebody loves you more 711 00:56:22.349 --> 00:56:26.469 than your parents. It's a lie if you believe it. 712 00:56:27.139 --> 00:56:31.599 It's a lie. No friends, no cousins. I don't care 713 00:56:31.619 --> 00:56:34.039 who that person is and I'm not judging. I'm just 714 00:56:34.079 --> 00:56:39.659 stating the truth, the facts of life. There is no 715 00:56:39.860 --> 00:56:44.469 one outside of that family home on the face of 716 00:56:44.530 --> 00:56:47.090 this earth that loves you more than mom and dad 717 00:56:47.289 --> 00:56:52.860 except one, Jesus Christ, who art in heaven. He's the 718 00:56:52.989 --> 00:56:56.090 only one that loves you more than your parents. But 719 00:56:56.170 --> 00:57:00.010 on earth, parents always will come number one when it 720 00:57:00.090 --> 00:57:05.300 comes to sacrifice, to giving, to laying their life on 721 00:57:05.340 --> 00:57:07.739 the line for you. No one will do it,

but 722 00:57:07.820 --> 00:57:11.659 mom and dad will. So why are you accepting and 723 00:57:11.699 --> 00:57:15.360 believing in a lie, then going and trusting a friend 724 00:57:15.519 --> 00:57:18.460 and not trusting mom and dad? Why are you putting 725 00:57:18.500 --> 00:57:21.949 your life in the hands of so-called? Friends and not 726 00:57:22.090 --> 00:57:23.969 trusting to put your life in the hands of your 727 00:57:24.010 --> 00:57:26.909 parents yet They are the only one that will always 728 00:57:26.969 --> 00:57:29.570 love you from the bottom of their heart and I've 729 00:57:29.590 --> 00:57:33.289 said this and I'll say it again the Western world 730 00:57:33.309 --> 00:57:35.650 And now when I say the Western world, I'm not 731 00:57:35.690 --> 00:57:37.800 judging I'm not saying the East is better than the 732 00:57:37.840 --> 00:57:40.199 West or the West is better. No. No. No, I'm 733 00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:45.070 saying that Is there God in your life? Now, this 734 00:57:45.170 --> 00:57:47.530 has got nothing to do with East and West because 735 00:57:47.610 --> 00:57:53.289 God is the creator of all directions and every piece 736 00:57:53.349 --> 00:58:00.590 of land. God exists. When we deny God, we die. 737 00:58:00.630 --> 00:58:08.190 And I'll always say this, the Western world is absolutely 738 00:58:08.269 --> 00:58:13.050 successful in giving value to everything. But the Western world 739 00:58:13.190 --> 00:58:20.159 failed miserably in giving purpose to everything. What do I 740 00:58:20.219 --> 00:58:24.190 say about purpose? When we ask and say this question, 741 00:58:25.820 --> 00:58:28.199 What's the purpose of my life? I said, this is 742 00:58:28.219 --> 00:58:32.000 the wrong question because that question never exists. There is 743 00:58:32.039 --> 00:58:35.780 no such thing as purpose of life, but there is 744 00:58:36.590 --> 00:58:41.269 the purpose of existence. That's the true question that everyone 745 00:58:41.289 --> 00:58:44.690 of us should ask. What is the purpose of my existence? 746 00:58:45.610 --> 00:58:51.980 So true. So the Western world failed miserably in giving 747 00:58:52.099 --> 00:58:56.590 purpose to everything. And purpose is to do with existence. 748 00:58:57.650 --> 00:59:01.079 And when you find your existence, you're alive. When you 749 00:59:01.260 --> 00:59:10.300 deny your existence, you're dead. What's value? Human rights. what's 750 00:59:10.460 --> 00:59:15.739 purpose existence the right to be a human i'll say 751 00:59:15.760 --> 00:59:21.739 it again what's value human rights what's purpose existence the 752 00:59:21.800 --> 00:59:25.929 right to be a human We always talk in the West, 753 00:59:26.409 --> 00:59:29.030 it's human rights. You have the right to go out naked. 754 00:59:29.269 --> 00:59:31.949 You have the right to marry this. Joe marries Smith 755 00:59:32.309 --> 00:59:35.610 and Elizabeth marries Rachel. You are right. No one can 756 00:59:35.670 --> 00:59:37.519 tell you what to do. No one can tell you 757 00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:40.320 what to say. And then they come back and say, hey, 758 00:59:40.360 --> 00:59:43.440 look at these Christians. They are a bunch of... You know, 759 00:59:43.719 --> 00:59:48.150 discriminative people, judgmental people, they think they're something everyone else 760 00:59:48.190 --> 00:59:50.710 is a second class citizen. It is not to do 761 00:59:50.809 --> 00:59:53.880 with Christians. It is to do with your existence, my 762 00:59:53.940 --> 00:59:58.440 dear friend. Because when you deny your existence, you cannot live. 763 00:59:58.480 --> 01:00:02.590 You will destroy your life. And what's happening in the 764 01:00:02.630 --> 01:00:08.119 West around us, an absolute destruction of life because they 765 01:00:08.460 --> 01:00:15.880 have denied their existence, which is God. So when they 766 01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:20.690 denied God their existence, they did not talk about purpose anymore. 767 01:00:21.030 --> 01:00:26.710 They started talking about and focusing on value. What is value? 768 01:00:27.610 --> 01:00:32.059 Human rights. What is purpose? The right to be a human. 769 01:00:32.960 --> 01:00:38.780 That's why human rights is the goal. But you know what? 770 01:00:39.900 --> 01:00:42.039 For as long as you don't know what the purpose is, 771 01:00:42.500 --> 01:00:44.940 how can you give it value? If you don't know 772 01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:47.239 what the purpose of a car is, how can you 773 01:00:47.280 --> 01:00:49.409 value it? If you don't know what the purpose of 774 01:00:49.469 --> 01:00:51.849 that computer is, how can you put a price tag 775 01:00:51.989 --> 01:00:54.710 on it? Without purpose, there is no value. So when 776 01:00:54.750 --> 01:01:02.190 you deny purpose, you have abused your value. That's what's happening. 777 01:01:03.170 --> 01:01:09.449 People have abused their values, which is life. Because they 778 01:01:09.489 --> 01:01:14.500 denied their existence, which is God, and they search for 779 01:01:14.539 --> 01:01:17.739 their own existence, which was never the case and never 780 01:01:17.780 --> 01:01:20.940 will be. If Australia comes back to Jesus Christ, who 781 01:01:21.019 --> 01:01:27.449 is God, it's a beautiful life. If the whole world, 782 01:01:27.630 --> 01:01:31.150 Middle East, where I come from, I'm not judging. I'm 783 01:01:31.989 --> 01:01:34.150 stating the truth. You know what the Lord Jesus said 784 01:01:34.190 --> 01:01:37.019 about the truth? He said, and the truth shall set 785 01:01:37.059 --> 01:01:43.230 you free. What is freedom? Life. Because you cannot say 786 01:01:43.320 --> 01:01:46.820 I am alive if you're not free. So the only 787 01:01:46.860 --> 01:01:48.920 time you can claim that you're alive when you say 788 01:01:48.940 --> 01:01:51.280 you're free. And the only thing that gives you that 789 01:01:51.340 --> 01:01:59.000 freedom which gives you life is truth. What's

truth? Purpose. 790 01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:07.869 What happened to Israel? That rugby player. Hmm? Are we 791 01:02:07.929 --> 01:02:15.050 afraid to talk? No. What did he say wrong? Does 792 01:02:15.070 --> 01:02:19.769 he have no right to express his freedom of belief? 793 01:02:21.239 --> 01:02:24.440 How come others have the right to express their freedom 794 01:02:24.639 --> 01:02:30.340 of belief? How come when somebody comes out and be 795 01:02:30.440 --> 01:02:34.900 disrespectful to my God, how come I'm not taking him 796 01:02:34.920 --> 01:02:39.929 to court? How come I'm not suing them? Then why 797 01:02:40.070 --> 01:02:42.329 is it when I say something all of a sudden, 798 01:02:42.349 --> 01:02:46.019 I am the enemy, I'm the worst ever to exist. 799 01:02:47.000 --> 01:02:51.360 Israel had total right to say, this is what I 800 01:02:51.420 --> 01:02:57.920 believe in. Is he judgmental now? The Western world talks 801 01:02:57.960 --> 01:03:02.280 about freedom, human rights. Where is it? You see, it's 802 01:03:02.360 --> 01:03:05.989 a lie. Why? Because there is no such thing as 803 01:03:06.050 --> 01:03:09.809 human rights. There is one thing only. The right to 804 01:03:09.849 --> 01:03:15.789 be a human. Not human rights. So we've been seeking 805 01:03:15.909 --> 01:03:26.840 and searching a lie. That's why... Everything we say is 806 01:03:26.889 --> 01:03:34.349 a lie and meaningless. It's a lie. Come, let's go 807 01:03:34.429 --> 01:03:37.929 out and have fun. That's a lie. Take some drugs. 808 01:03:38.130 --> 01:03:41.170 That's a lie. Let's go and kill this person. That 809 01:03:41.210 --> 01:03:43.809 is a lie. Let's go and destroy this house. That 810 01:03:43.849 --> 01:03:46.130 is a lie. Hey, you are free. You can do 811 01:03:46.150 --> 01:03:50.230 whatever you want. That is a lie. Because you were 812 01:03:50.329 --> 01:03:53.989 never meant to be free whatever you want to do. 813 01:03:56.219 --> 01:04:00.239 Because you came to existence because someone decided to make 814 01:04:00.280 --> 01:04:04.139 you exist. And that someone who decided to make you 815 01:04:04.199 --> 01:04:09.360 exist is God. When you deny God, your parents, you died. 816 01:04:10.139 --> 01:04:17.559 So people are searching fanatically for freedom, for prosperity, for 817 01:04:17.679 --> 01:04:25.550 success outside of God. What a lie. I was listening 818 01:04:25.590 --> 01:04:34.039 to an atheist talking about some scientific stuff to prove 819 01:04:34.159 --> 01:04:38.099 to his audiences that there is no God. He was 820 01:04:38.980 --> 01:04:47.179 talking childish stuff. Kindergarten, not even level. Yet he is 821 01:04:47.219 --> 01:04:52.269 a professor. What did I say about childish? Existence is childish. 822 01:04:53.570 --> 01:04:57.449 Because you're fighting over space. This is my room. Get 823 01:04:57.489 --> 01:04:59.329 out of my room. When you look at these kids 824 01:04:59.949 --> 01:05:02.570 fighting like that, you laugh at them. And when you 825 01:05:02.590 --> 01:05:06.610 listen to a human being mature with a degree of 826 01:05:06.750 --> 01:05:10.579 PhD from 20 meters long, he's got a certificate from 827 01:05:10.639 --> 01:05:14.000 the best universities in the world. And then he comes 828 01:05:14.280 --> 01:05:17.199 and then he fights about his existence. He says to God, 829 01:05:17.239 --> 01:05:19.380 get out of my space. I don't want you. You 830 01:05:19.400 --> 01:05:22.139 don't exist. I don't want. This is exactly like a 831 01:05:22.159 --> 01:05:27.079 little kid fighting. Childish. There is no wisdom there. And 832 01:05:27.119 --> 01:05:30.159 that kind of talk, I don't care who you are. 833 01:05:31.599 --> 01:05:34.519 And I'm talking with love and respect. I'm not judging. 834 01:05:34.840 --> 01:05:39.039 I'm stating a fact. It's okay for Richard Dawkins to 835 01:05:39.079 --> 01:05:45.590 come out so hostile and speak so arrogantly and so 836 01:05:45.800 --> 01:05:51.889 disrespectfully against Christians. Nobody, no Christian has taken Stephen Hawkins 837 01:05:51.929 --> 01:05:57.900 to Supreme Court and sued him for this. Because Christians 838 01:05:58.300 --> 01:06:06.190 believe in one thing. My existence is Jesus Christ. I'm 839 01:06:06.230 --> 01:06:10.090 not here to judge him. I'm not here to hurt him. 840 01:06:11.989 --> 01:06:18.530 I let my existence talk. God. But I'm praying for 841 01:06:18.659 --> 01:06:22.760 people like him. For my God to make them realize 842 01:06:22.780 --> 01:06:28.519 the truth. I urge you. And I beg you, don't 843 01:06:28.599 --> 01:06:38.159 listen to nonsense things at school, with friends, in the street, 844 01:06:39.239 --> 01:06:45.320 in the internet, Facebook. Nonsense, get away with. You don't 845 01:06:45.340 --> 01:06:52.840 need it. Come back to the Lord. Pre-occupy your time 846 01:06:52.960 --> 01:06:55.440 with the Word of God. Read the Bible instead of 847 01:06:55.780 --> 01:07:00.969 sitting on that laptop. Grab the Holy Bible and read it. 848 01:07:02.389 --> 01:07:07.230 Pray instead of talking about people. Respect mom and dad 849 01:07:07.349 --> 01:07:11.809 instead of spending time with so and so. Be good 850 01:07:11.829 --> 01:07:16.150 at home. Don't be good outside in the street. I'm 851 01:07:16.190 --> 01:07:19.070 bad at home, but I'm Mr. Nice Guy in the street. 852 01:07:20.230 --> 01:07:24.260 What is this? Be good at home for you to 853 01:07:24.300 --> 01:07:28.320 be able to be good outside. If I can't respect home, 854 01:07:28.489 --> 01:07:32.510 I can't respect the street. Come to church instead of 855 01:07:32.550 --> 01:07:37.030 the club. Drink the blood of Christ instead of wine 856 01:07:37.250 --> 01:07:41.210 that makes you drunk and lost. Come to the light 857 01:07:41.809 --> 01:07:44.909 instead of the darkness of this world. Come to the 858 01:07:44.989 --> 01:07:49.829 truth instead of living a lie. Be you. Don't be

859 01:07:49.949 --> 01:07:54.480 someone that can never be you. Be you. Be true 860 01:07:54.780 --> 01:08:00.940 to yourself. Be honest with yourself. And be humble. What's humility? 861 01:08:01.780 --> 01:08:06.550 When I let go of my existence and live for 862 01:08:06.570 --> 01:08:10.590 the one who is my existence. That's humility. Humility is 863 01:08:10.630 --> 01:08:13.949 when I live for Jesus Christ, not for myself. Why 864 01:08:14.110 --> 01:08:19.329 is Jesus humble? Because Jesus never lived for himself, not 865 01:08:19.390 --> 01:08:23.319 even a single moment. The 33 years and 4 months 866 01:08:23.640 --> 01:08:26.289 that he spent on the face of this earth, every 867 01:08:26.390 --> 01:08:29.890 single moment of those 33 years and 4 months, lived 868 01:08:29.949 --> 01:08:34.300 them totally for his dad, nothing for himself. Read the 869 01:08:34.319 --> 01:08:38.779 New Testament. Jesus never said, never did anything that glorified Him. 870 01:08:39.199 --> 01:08:42.340 Everything He said and everything He did was to glorify 871 01:08:42.380 --> 01:08:45.819 His heavenly Father. It is not who He says to me, Lord, Lord, 872 01:08:45.880 --> 01:08:48.460 will enter the kingdom of heaven. But it is the 873 01:08:48.579 --> 01:08:51.189 one who does the will of my dad will enter 874 01:08:51.229 --> 01:08:53.529 the kingdom of heaven. I came to do the will 875 01:08:53.569 --> 01:08:56.369 of my father, not my will. My food is to 876 01:08:56.430 --> 01:08:59.869 do what my dad has sent me to accomplish. I 877 01:08:59.989 --> 01:09:03.109 Came to live for him and as long as I 878 01:09:03.220 --> 01:09:07.439 lived for his existence. I live forever. I don't die 879 01:09:09.039 --> 01:09:12.319 The moment Jesus if he had lived for himself, he 880 01:09:12.380 --> 01:09:14.340 would never been able to get out of that grave. 881 01:09:14.359 --> 01:09:18.260 I But as long as he lived for his dad 882 01:09:18.600 --> 01:09:21.600 and said, my dad is my existence. As long as 883 01:09:21.659 --> 01:09:25.659 dad is my existence, he is my father. Therefore, as 884 01:09:25.699 --> 01:09:30.300 long as I acknowledge my dad, I live. The moment 885 01:09:30.420 --> 01:09:33.399 I deny my dad who is my existence, I don't live. 886 01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:39.020 Please listen and think about what you heard. Grab one 887 01:09:39.060 --> 01:09:44.850 word and focus on it. Why am I fighting? Why 888 01:09:44.930 --> 01:09:49.119 am I angry? Why am I not happy? Why am 889 01:09:49.199 --> 01:09:52.159 I not content with what I have? How come I'm 890 01:09:52.239 --> 01:09:56.229 whinging and complaining? What is this? What is this house? 891 01:09:56.609 --> 01:09:59.930 What is this car? What is this life? I don't 892 01:09:59.949 --> 01:10:05.210 have money. I don't have this. Hey, do you have Jesus? 893 01:10:06.729 --> 01:10:09.880 That's the question you should ask yourself and find the 894 01:10:09.960 --> 01:10:14.710 answer to. What does it profit a man if he 895 01:10:14.750 --> 01:10:18.649 gains the whole world and loses himself? But I say 896 01:10:18.689 --> 01:10:22.770 to you, blessed is the soul that loses itself. For 897 01:10:22.840 --> 01:10:25.720 my sake, I the son of man, for you will 898 01:10:25.819 --> 01:10:31.520 find yourself in the end. You live for yourself, you 899 01:10:31.539 --> 01:10:36.220 lose it. You live for me, I Jesus, you'll find yourself. Mom, 900 01:10:36.260 --> 01:10:40.479 I'm sorry that I've upset you. Tonight I'm saying to you, 901 01:10:40.590 --> 01:10:46.399 forgive me. Dad, I'm sorry for every moment that I 902 01:10:46.460 --> 01:10:50.199 broke your heart, for every moment that I made you upset, 903 01:10:50.800 --> 01:10:53.060 for every moment that I was the reason for the 904 01:10:53.119 --> 01:10:55.979 tear to come down from your eyes. I am sorry. 905 01:10:56.840 --> 01:11:00.159 How can I help you, Dad? What can I do 906 01:11:00.199 --> 01:11:05.350 for you, Mom? What a beautiful life. Jesus, I come 907 01:11:05.430 --> 01:11:11.829 to you humbly, denying myself and putting my head down 908 01:11:12.550 --> 01:11:17.310 Before your holy feet. And saying sorry. For I have 909 01:11:17.409 --> 01:11:22.430 sinned before you. And heaven. Please. Let me be a 910 01:11:22.510 --> 01:11:25.260 servant in your home. I'm not worthy to be your 911 01:11:25.300 --> 01:11:29.159 son again. For I have sinned against you. And heaven. 912 01:11:29.800 --> 01:11:32.539 Just let me come back to you Lord. Let me 913 01:11:32.600 --> 01:11:38.380 come back to you Lord. Be genuine. Those who are married. 914 01:11:40.560 --> 01:11:43.279 Love your partner. Now. Even if they are pain in 915 01:11:43.300 --> 01:11:49.090 the neck. And if your partner doesn't want you. You 916 01:11:49.130 --> 01:11:52.609 still love them. If you want to live. Love them. 917 01:11:53.550 --> 01:11:56.149 And that's why the Lord went to the extreme. And 918 01:11:56.170 --> 01:12:01.310 he said love your enemy. Sometimes the husband or the 919 01:12:01.350 --> 01:12:04.550 wife can be the enemy. But you know what? It's 920 01:12:04.590 --> 01:12:08.989 not that bad after all. Because if somebody tries to 921 01:12:09.069 --> 01:12:14.210 hurt someone. they are ultimately hurting themselves, no one else. 922 01:12:17.750 --> 01:12:22.270 Because you cannot hurt someone unless you first hurt yourself. 923 01:12:25.810 --> 01:12:29.229 You don't want to be hurt? Love. And I love you. 924 01:12:30.510 --> 01:12:35.270 Because I don't want to be hurt. Jesus taught us 925 01:12:35.399 --> 01:12:41.310 always to love one another. Love one another. That was 926 01:12:41.350 --> 01:12:46.170 the last commandment he gave before leaving us from earth. 927 01:12:47.090 --> 01:12:50.010 He said, if you love me, then love one another. 928 01:12:50.930 --> 01:12:54.210 In this, the world will know that you are my disciples. 929 01:12:54.670 --> 01:12:57.909 When you love each other, you will prove to the 930 01:12:57.949 --> 01:13:02.270 world that you belong to me. And in order for 931 01:13:02.310 --> 01:13:07.159 me to love someone, I have to deny myself. I 932 01:13:07.199 --> 01:13:10.800 don't live for my existence. I live for for their existence. 933 01:13:11.380 --> 01:13:13.079 And that's the only way I'm going to love them. 934 01:13:13.380 --> 01:13:16.119 And when I deny myself, I become humble. When I 935 01:13:16.159 --> 01:13:19.890 become humble, I live. When I live, I'm not depressed anymore. 936 01:13:20.729 --> 01:13:25.810 God bless you guys. May the Lord Jesus always bless you, 937 01:13:26.590 --> 01:13:30.369 guide you, and protect you, and teach you how to 938 01:13:30.430 --> 01:13:36.210 live humbly. Not for yourselves, but for the one who 939 01:13:36.289 --> 01:13:42.140 is in your life. Give yourself for others. Because God 940 01:13:42.199 --> 01:13:45.340 gave himself for you. You need to return the favor. 941 01:13:45.859 --> 01:13:48.649 Just like God gave himself up for you on the cross. 942 01:13:49.390 --> 01:13:52.430 You need to give up your life for him. Love 943 01:13:53.069 --> 01:13:56.329 is a both-way street. It's a two-way street. Love is 944 01:13:56.369 --> 01:14:02.899 never selfish. Love is never egocentric. Love never thinks about itself. 945 01:14:03.340 --> 01:14:10.130 Love always believes in everything. And always... covers a lot 946 01:14:10.170 --> 01:14:14.649 of errors. When somebody does something wrong against you, if 947 01:14:14.689 --> 01:14:18.239 you truly love them, cover that mistake, don't reveal it, 948 01:14:18.729 --> 01:14:21.979 and don't expose that mistake to the world. If you love, 949 01:14:22.409 --> 01:14:27.439 you hide things, you don't reveal them. But in secret, 950 01:14:27.619 --> 01:14:31.159 between you and that person, you tell them off. What 951 01:14:31.220 --> 01:14:35.100 you did was wrong, you need to fix yourself. But 952 01:14:35.140 --> 01:14:37.920 before the world, you are perfect.
