yeah I was with my therapist the other yeah I was with my therapist the other day my generation if we said that all day my generation if we said that all day my generation if we said that all right you just lost a right you just lost a right you just lost a friend because it was something friend because it was something friend because it was something contagious some kind of a disease that contagious some kind of a disease that contagious some kind of a disease that we can catch to even have that kind of we can catch to even have that kind of we can catch to even have that kind of language and I I think the the the language and I I think the the the language and I I think the the the community support because even even when community support because even even when community support because even even when we think about some of the theologies we think about some of the theologies we think about some of the theologies that are presented Around Jesus as this that are presented Around Jesus as this that are presented Around Jesus as this Valiant Warrior that was solo if you Valiant Warrior that was solo if you Valiant Warrior that was solo if you read the scripture very carefully how read the scripture very carefully how read the scripture very carefully how many read where Jesus was in the many read where Jesus was in the many read where Jesus was in the wilderness being wilderness being wilderness being tempted right by the devil right if you tempted right by the devil right if you tempted right by the devil right if you read the text carefully it says that he read the text carefully it says that he read the text carefully it says that he was amongst the wild beast was amongst the wild beast was amongst the wild beast and Angels minister to him he was not and Angels minister to him he was not and Angels minister to him he was not left there on his own to be some kind of left there on his own to be some kind of left there on his own to be some kind of a superhero he had help how many a superhero he had help how many a superhero he had help how many understand what I'm talking about and understand what I'm talking about and understand what I'm talking about and it's very important that we understand it's very important that we understand it's very important that we understand this you know Pastor that's also so this you know Pastor that's also so this you know Pastor that's also so important um many people don't know this important um many people don't know this important um many people don't know this but I'm also I went to Seminary so I'm a but I'm also I went to Seminary so I'm a but I'm also I went to Seminary so I'm a a preacher before I became a a preacher before I became a a preacher before I became a psychologist and TV and all those other psychologist and TV and all those other psychologist and TV and all those other things there is something else about Jes things there is something else about Jes things there is something else about Jes Jesus there were ways in which people Jesus there were ways in which people Jesus there were ways in which people overwhelmed overwhelmed overwhelmed him and so he also was careful about who him and so he also was careful about who him and so he also was careful about who he was with and when and so he was with and when and so he was with and when and so boundaries are essential for your boundaries are essential for your boundaries are essential for your self-care and your Liberation yeah yeah

self-care and your Liberation yeah yeah self-care and your Liberation yeah yeah it's essential I mean do you remember it's essential I mean do you remember it's essential I mean do you remember when Jesus often said they were like are when Jesus often said they were like are when Jesus often said they were like are you coming and he said you go on you coming and he said you go on you coming and he said you go on ahead I'll meet you ahead I'll meet you ahead I'll meet you there because he had something there because he had something there because he had something else happening in him that people could else happening in him that people could else happening in him that people could have gotten in the way and that's part have gotten in the way and that's part have gotten in the way and that's part of what Courtney I think is also asking of what Courtney I think is also asking of what Courtney I think is also asking what are you going to do about what you what are you going to do about what you what are you going to do about what you know is happening inside of know is happening inside of know is happening inside of you not what is someone not what is you not what is someone not what is you not what is someone not what is Pastor or Courtney B Vance or Dr Robin Pastor or Courtney B Vance or Dr Robin Pastor or Courtney B Vance or Dr Robin but but but there's a reason why we showed up today there's a reason why we showed up today there's a reason why we showed up today we didn't even know that God had a plan we didn't even know that God had a plan we didn't even know that God had a plan that someone here today is going to that someone here today is going to that someone here today is going to decide to take your own life decide to take your own life decide to take your own life seriously you know you want someone else seriously you know you want someone else seriously you know you want someone else to care about your exhaustion you want to care about your exhaustion you want to care about your exhaustion you want someone else to look out for you but someone else to look out for you but someone else to look out for you but what would it mean if your partnership what would it mean if your partnership what would it mean if your partnership here at the beginning of January is with here at the beginning of January is with here at the beginning of January is with a a a self who is committed to a self who is committed to a self who is committed to a self who is deliberate about being free self who is deliberate about being free self who is deliberate about being free you know Pastor the the thing that is so you know Pastor the the thing that is so you know Pastor the the thing that is so revolutionary for me is that I I I got revolutionary for me is that I I I got revolutionary for me is that I I I got to the end of my rope and I got there I to the end of my rope and I got there I to the end of my rope and I got there I got to the end of my rope and I and

hours that that are unresolved you take hours that that are unresolved you take them to sleep with you you take them to them to sleep with you you take them to them to sleep with you you take them to bed with you and your mind is trying to bed with you and your mind is trying to bed with you and your mind is trying to deal with those deal with those deal with those unresolved issues that were left so unresolved issues that were left so unresolved issues that were left so before you went to bed so they serve a before you went to bed so they serve a before you went to bed so they serve a purpose I am very particular about my purpose I am very particular about my purpose I am very particular about my dreams uh and some people dream more dreams uh and some people dream more dreams uh and some people dream more often because God speaks to you based often because God speaks to you based often because God speaks to you based upon your learning style and if you're a upon your learning style and if you're a upon your learning style and if you're a visual learn learner you will tend to visual learn learner you will tend to visual learn learner you will tend to have a lot of dreams so I I you know have a lot of dreams so I I you know have a lot of dreams so I I you know develop that over time but I record them develop that over time but I record them develop that over time but I record them so any dream of significance I record so any dream of significance I record so any dream of significance I record them they're in my journal and even if I them they're in my journal and even if I them they're in my journal and even if I don't understand them right away I don't understand them right away I don't understand them right away I simply Journal them and allow myself to simply Journal them and allow myself to simply Journal them and allow myself to get back to them allow the Holy Spirit get back to them allow the Holy Spirit get back to them allow the Holy Spirit to have that so that I can remember to have that so that I can remember to have that so that I can remember because if you don't do that you're not because if you don't do that you're not because if you don't do that you're not going to remember plain and simple so I going to remember plain and simple so I going to remember plain and simple so I wanted to just comment on that and why wanted to just comment on that and why wanted to just comment on that and why was that was so important a part of your was that was so important a part of your was that was so important a part of your process in order to heal and and let me process in order to heal and and let me process in order to heal and and let me speak prophetically and I want to keep speak prophetically and I want to keep speak prophetically and I want to keep you guys standing here uh much longer you guys standing here uh much longer you guys standing here uh much longer but the Church of Jesus but the Church of Jesus but the Church of Jesus Christ not just the black church the Christ not just the black church the Christ not just the black church the white church the Spanish Church the white church the Spanish Church the white church the Spanish Church the Italian church and whatever ethnicities Italian church and whatever ethnicities Italian church and whatever ethnicities or whatever social constructs that that or whatever social constructs that that or whatever social constructs that that are established to essentially divide us are established to essentially divide us are established to essentially divide us but the Church of Jesus Christ is being

but the Church of Jesus Christ is being but the Church of Jesus Christ is being challenged on how it has dealt with challenged on how it has dealt with challenged on how it has dealt with things in the past we're being things in the past we're being things in the past we're being challenged and we're being forced to challenged and we're being forced to challenged and we're being forced to reflect and think again on how we have reflect and think again on how we have reflect and think again on how we have handled issues that our own people handled issues that our own people handled issues that our own people struggle with and have struggled with struggle with and have struggled with struggle with and have struggled with and I will tell you I welcome the and I will tell you I welcome the and I will tell you I welcome the challenge I'm excited about the fact challenge I'm excited about the fact challenge I'm excited about the fact that we're being forced to step back and that we're being forced to step back and that we're being forced to step back and not just pray over stuff and say let go not just pray over stuff and say let go not just pray over stuff and say let go and let and let and let God what does that God what does that God what does that mean God uses the totality of human mean God uses the totality of human mean God uses the totality of human experience in order to minister to us in experience in order to minister to us in experience in order to minister to us in order to carry us through the journeys order to carry us through the journeys order to carry us through the journeys of change growth and development uh of change growth and development uh of change growth and development uh we're excited about your book we're in we're excited about your book we're in we're excited about your book we're in prayer we I I had a series of questions prayer we I I had a series of questions prayer we I I had a series of questions um we we'll we'll get another um we we'll we'll get another um we we'll we'll get another opportunity for that but the big opportunity for that but the big opportunity for that but the big question and we dealt with this when we question and we dealt with this when we question and we dealt with this when we did a panel discussion question in did a panel discussion question in did a panel discussion question in Washington DC is why is this so unique Washington DC is why is this so unique Washington DC is why is this so unique to men of color and you've touched on it to men of color and you've touched on it to men of color and you've touched on it what we have to deal with and how we what we have to deal with and how we what we have to deal with and how we have been taught that we've got to wear have been taught that we've got to wear have been taught that we've got to wear the mask that we have got to measure up the mask that we have got to measure up the mask that we have got to measure up to some standard of a defined to some standard of a defined to some standard of a defined masculinity that if we show weakness you masculinity that if we show weakness you masculinity that if we show weakness you know we move away from that standard and know we move away from that standard and know we move away from that standard and we'll be judged and I think it's so we'll be judged and I think it's so we'll be judged and I think it's so important important important that we understand Paul's words that that we understand Paul's words that that we understand Paul's words that when I'm weak yeah that's when I'm

when I'm weak yeah that's when I'm when I'm weak yeah that's when I'm really strong because in my weakness I really strong because in my weakness I really strong because in my weakness I cry out for God and his strength becomes cry out for God and his strength becomes cry out for God and his strength becomes perfected in my weakness this is good perfected in my weakness this is good perfected in my weakness this is good preaching folks are you hearing me and preaching folks are you hearing me and preaching folks are you hearing me and this is how we become Fearless I will this is how we become Fearless I will this is how we become Fearless I will just say this it's so important what just say this it's so important what just say this it's so important what you're bringing you're bringing you're bringing up that up that up that vulnerability is our vulnerability is our vulnerability is our superpower and so if the superpower and so if the superpower and so if the lie that men should never let you see lie that men should never let you see lie that men should never let you see them sweat that's good for a deodorant them sweat that's good for a deodorant them sweat that's good for a deodorant commercial it's not good for the commercial it's not good for the commercial it's not good for the soul and so it's important when you say soul and so it's important when you say soul and so it's important when you say how did it happen it's a part of how did it happen it's a part of how did it happen it's a part of internalized racism it is a part of internalized racism it is a part of internalized racism it is a part of having uh black men in having uh black men in having uh black men in particular have uh their whole this particular have uh their whole this particular have uh their whole this assaulted so to have not been seen as assaulted so to have not been seen as assaulted so to have not been seen as whole apart of what black men and boys whole apart of what black men and boys whole apart of what black men and boys and our community have carried into our and our community have carried into our and our community have carried into our lives and our parenting and our our lives and our parenting and our our lives and our parenting and our our living has to do with being only 35ths living has to do with being only 35ths living has to do with being only 35ths or less a person and so if we or less a person and so if we or less a person and so if we realize that our weakness but I would realize that our weakness but I would realize that our weakness but I would call it our call it our call it our vulnerability I mean that means being vulnerability I mean that means being vulnerability I mean that means being human that's your Divi see this is it's

human that's your Divi see this is it's human that's your Divi see this is it's a a a lie for you to ever lie for you to ever lie for you to ever believe that your vulnerability is a believe that your vulnerability is a believe that your vulnerability is a weakness and so if we understand it as a weakness and so if we understand it as a weakness and so if we understand it as a li that came with slavery as a li that li that came with slavery as a li that li that came with slavery as a li that came to help you actually never be fully came to help you actually never be fully came to help you actually never be fully you you'd understand that this is a you you'd understand that this is a you you'd understand that this is a spiritual battle not just an emotional spiritual battle not just an emotional spiritual battle not just an emotional but it is a spiritual battle let me let but it is a spiritual battle let me let but it is a spiritual battle let me let me let me let me challenge that to a me let me let me challenge that to a me let me let me challenge that to a degree because the Bible declares that degree because the Bible declares that degree because the Bible declares that all humanity is broken and wounded and all humanity is broken and wounded and all humanity is broken and wounded and needs Redemption so what you're saying needs Redemption so what you're saying needs Redemption so what you're saying is that there is a unique experience to is that there is a unique experience to is that there is a unique experience to the black man to the person of color in the black man to the person of color in the black man to the person of color in the context of America American history the context of America American history the context of America American history yes but the reality is it transcends yes but the reality is it transcends yes but the reality is it transcends that context and applies to all human that context and applies to all human that context and applies to all human beings we all have holes we're all beings we all have holes we're all beings we all have holes we're all broken we're all wounded in some way and broken we're all wounded in some way and broken we're all wounded in some way and need recovery for sure and when your need recovery for sure and when your need recovery for sure and when your holes are on black and brown holes are on black and brown holes are on black and brown skin those holes have now been skin those holes have now been skin those holes have now been demonized so instead of it being part of demonized so instead of it being part of demonized so instead of it being part of your your your whole wh whole wh whole wh Humanity it now becomes part of a Humanity it now becomes part of a Humanity it now becomes part of a pathologize like

pathologize like pathologize like somehow there's something wrong with somehow there's something wrong with somehow there's something wrong with your holes there's something dark about your holes there's something dark about your holes there's something dark about your holes you know we think about angel your holes you know we think about angel your holes you know we think about angel food cake being white and devil's food food cake being white and devil's food food cake being white and devil's food cake being black we don't often ask how cake being black we don't often ask how cake being black we don't often ask how did that happen yeah no and and that's the point happen yeah no and and that's the point that I want to make because there's a that I want to make because there's a that I want to make because there's a social construct absolutely a social construct absolutely a social construct absolutely a mythology of the mythology of the mythology of the inferiority of black people in America inferiority of black people in America inferiority of black people in America and I understand the pathology that that and I understand the pathology that that and I understand the pathology that that creates as a result of us having to creates as a result of us having to creates as a result of us having to wrestle through that all of our lives wrestle through that all of our lives wrestle through that all of our lives and question we dismantle it and and the and question we dismantle it and and the and question we dismantle it and and the and the question is again I come back to and the question is again I come back to and the question is again I come back to it Pastor Doctor what are we going to to it Pastor Doctor what are we going to to it Pastor Doctor what are we going to to do because we know it's there we know do because we know it's there we know do because we know it's there we know how they treat us you know Dr Claudine how they treat us you know Dr Claudine how they treat us you know Dr Claudine gay thought she had she had achieved the gay thought she had she had achieved the gay thought she had she had achieved the ultimate and it was taken from her in ultimate and it was taken from her in ultimate and it was taken from her in two months so the question is now what two months so the question is now what two months so the question is now what does she do what do we do acknowledging does she do what do we do acknowledging does she do what do we do acknowledging that the world is against us that the world is against us that the world is against us acknowledging that but what is our jobs acknowledging that but what is our jobs acknowledging that but what is our jobs what what are our jobs now now as we go what what are our jobs now now as we go what what are our jobs now now as we go forward as we as we raise up our forward as we as we raise up our forward as we as we raise up our children as we as we continue to go back children as we as we continue to go back children as we as we continue to go back and forth to our our jobs with our our

and forth to our our jobs with our our and forth to our our jobs with our our employers that may or may not be giving employers that may or may not be giving employers that may or may not be giving us what we need that and our spouses may us what we need that and our spouses may us what we need that and our spouses may not be giving us what the what because not be giving us what the what because not be giving us what the what because the devil is not going to defeat us so the devil is not going to defeat us so the devil is not going to defeat us so in order to that he doesn't we've got to in order to that he doesn't we've got to in order to that he doesn't we've got to arm ourselves which is why we're here arm ourselves which is why we're here arm ourselves which is why we're here which is why Pastor Jamal where's Pastor which is why Pastor Jamal where's Pastor which is why Pastor Jamal where's Pastor Jamal and which which is why I celebrate Jamal and which which is why I celebrate Jamal and which which is why I celebrate you you two on your birthday celebrating you you two on your birthday celebrating you you two on your birthday celebrating this man and Dr Karen that you all have this man and Dr Karen that you all have this man and Dr Karen that you all have created an environment that that folks created an environment that that folks created an environment that that folks families have are here to recognize why families have are here to recognize why families have are here to recognize why they're here we no we all got holes they're here we no we all got holes they're here we no we all got holes everybody that's why we're here but you everybody that's why we're here but you everybody that's why we're here but you set up an environment so that folks can set up an environment so that folks can set up an environment so that folks can come here and find out what they need to come here and find out what they need to come here and find out what they need to do and find the help that they need to do and find the help that they need to do and find the help that they need to get to do to go forward to be encouraged get to do to go forward to be encouraged get to do to go forward to be encouraged to lift up so I celebrate you all and I to lift up so I celebrate you all and I to lift up so I celebrate you all and I celebrate you all I know we got to get celebrate you all I know we got to get celebrate you all I know we got to get out of here so let's wait wait let's out of here so let's wait wait let's out of here so let's wait wait let's close with this yes where do we set a close with this yes where do we set a close with this yes where do we set a boundary to keep us from taking on a boundary to keep us from taking on a boundary to keep us from taking on a victim's victim's victim's mentality as though life owes us mentality as though life owes us mentality as though life owes us something because of the history yeah I something because of the history yeah I something because of the history yeah I love that question and I love it because love that question and I love it because love that question and I love it because and you probably asked that question and you probably asked that question and you probably asked that question because often that becomes our cooling because often that becomes our cooling because often that becomes our cooling board that's the place where uh you know

board that's the place where uh you know board that's the place where uh you know the morning bench some of you don't know the morning bench some of you don't know the morning bench some of you don't know about the morning bench but this place about the morning bench but this place about the morning bench but this place where you would go and and lay it all where you would go and and lay it all where you would go and and lay it all out and down but morning doesn't only out and down but morning doesn't only out and down but morning doesn't only have to be sorrow it also could be the have to be sorrow it also could be the have to be sorrow it also could be the responsibility of a new day responsibility of a new day responsibility of a new day and so the question you're asking is and so the question you're asking is and so the question you're asking is what boundary and I'm going to answer what boundary and I'm going to answer what boundary and I'm going to answer I'm going to give you something you can I'm going to give you something you can I'm going to give you something you can practice it's called being practice it's called being practice it's called being 100% accountable and what does that mean 100% accountable and what does that mean 100% accountable and what does that mean it means that if you are singing the it means that if you are singing the it means that if you are singing the songs of Zion like we did this morning songs of Zion like we did this morning songs of Zion like we did this morning and then someone takes your parking and then someone takes your parking and then someone takes your parking space like they did this morning they space like they did this morning they space like they did this morning they like they did this morning and all of a like they did this morning and all of a like they did this morning and all of a sudden your sudden your sudden your joy flew out the window and some hand joy flew out the window and some hand joy flew out the window and some hand movements not lifting them unto the Lord movements not lifting them unto the Lord movements not lifting them unto the Lord may have happened even may have happened even may have happened even here not in this church oh not in this here not in this church oh not in this here not in this church oh not in this church never not in this parking lot church never not in this parking lot church never not in this parking lot never in this parking lot but this is my never in this parking lot but this is my never in this parking lot but this is my question and my response to what you question and my response to what you question and my response to what you were asking Dr Bernard is were asking Dr Bernard is were asking Dr Bernard is this if you say well I was happy until this if you say well I was happy until this if you say well I was happy until they until they cut me off until they they until they cut me off until they they until they cut me off until they betrayed me until this racist system betrayed me until this racist system betrayed me until this racist system injured me until it fired me until it

injured me until it fired me until it injured me until it fired me until it set me up it means that you are always set me up it means that you are always set me up it means that you are always owned by the Predator you're always owned by the Predator you're always owned by the predator and so I'm just going to tell predator and so I'm just going to tell predator and so I'm just going to tell you what I've done in my own life and you what I've done in my own life and you what I've done in my own life and that Courtney and I I know live and that Courtney and I I know live and that Courtney and I I know live and practice that when something happens I practice that when something happens I practice that when something happens I don't ask what is it about the other don't ask what is it about the other don't ask what is it about the other person that needs to person that needs to person that needs to change I'm asking what is it me it's me change I'm asking what is it me it's me change I'm asking what is it me it's me it's me oh it's me oh it's me oh Lord who is standing in the Lord who is standing in the Lord who is standing in the need of a new Awakening about how I need of a new Awakening about how I need of a new Awakening about how I might need to say yes to a job and have might need to say yes to a job and have might need to say yes to a job and have a better contract next time that I might a better contract next time that I might a better contract next time that I might need to decide who I am partnering with need to decide who I am partnering with need to decide who I am partnering with and you know you lay down with dogs you and you know you lay down with dogs you and you know you lay down with dogs you get up with fleas get up with fleas get up with fleas so so there is some so so there is some so so there is some accountability and I would say 100% accountability and I would say 100% accountability and I would say 100% accountability that when things work out accountability that when things work out accountability that when things work out for me I say God be praised and when for me I say God be praised and when for me I say God be praised and when they don't I say God teach me about they don't I say God teach me about they don't I say God teach me about me about me not about the oppressor not me about me not about the oppressor not me about me not about the oppressor not about the other but teach about the other but teach about the other but teach me about me I see all we can control is me about me I see all we can control is me about me I see all we can control is are are we React to what what is done we are are we React to what what is done we are are we React to what what is done we can't control what they're going to do

can't control what they're going to do can't control what they're going to do to us yeah what are you going to do now to us yeah what are you going to do now to us yeah what are you going to do now that you know oh I see you now right oh that you know oh I see you now right oh that you know oh I see you now right oh now I know who you are okay gotcha now now I know who you are okay gotcha now now I know who you are okay gotcha now and now I know who I am hallelujah thank and now I know who I am hallelujah thank and now I know who I am hallelujah thank you Jesus now I know who I am you want you Jesus now I know who I am you want you Jesus now I know who I am you want to sit down to sit down to sit down now not not that's not a choice okay now not not that's not a choice okay now not not that's not a choice okay okay it's not a choice not I'm feeling okay it's not a choice not I'm feeling okay it's not a choice not I'm feeling comfortable I'm feeling I could sit down comfortable I'm feeling I could sit down comfortable I'm feeling I could sit down now great job excellent we need to we now great job excellent we need to we now great job excellent we need to we need to go because we we may not have need to go because we we may not have need to go because we we may not have let you let you let you leave thank you God bless you God bless leave thank you God bless you God bless leave thank you God bless you God bless excellent job come on let's give them a excellent job come on let's give them a excellent job come on let's give them a round of applause and appreciation round of applause and appreciation round of applause and appreciation here's the here's the here's the book now I think book now I think book now I think that there's going to be a book signing that there's going to be a book signing that there's going to be a book signing after service in in the vision Hall in after service in in the vision Hall in after service in in the vision Hall in the gallery there'll be a book signing the gallery there'll be a book signing the gallery there'll be a book signing and Courtney will be there and also Dr and Courtney will be there and also Dr and Courtney will be there and also Dr Smith will be there thank you excellent Smith will be there thank you excellent Smith will be there thank you excellent conversation God bless you conversation God bless you conversation God bless you both do another both do another both do another [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] interview oh yes I interview oh yes I interview oh yes I [Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter] [Music] [Music] [Music] will you may be seated while I take a will you may be seated while I take a will you may be seated while I take a swig can I do swig can I do swig can I do that that that oh my 12:00 you tell

12:00 you tell me all I need is 5 yeah and I might as well keep yeah and I might as well keep standing standing standing praise the you five minutes all you five minutes all right let me share something with you right let me share something with you right let me share something with you out of my devotional all right I have out of my devotional all right I have out of my devotional all right I have morning devotions how many of you have morning devotions how many of you have morning devotions how many of you have morning morning morning devotions uh yours may not last as long devotions uh yours may not last as long devotions uh yours may not last as long as mine mine can last an hour to two as mine mine can last an hour to two as mine mine can last an hour to two hours because I'm also studying uh as hours because I'm also studying uh as hours because I'm also studying uh as well but I thought about something well but I thought about something well but I thought about something you've heard it taught here and let me you've heard it taught here and let me you've heard it taught here and let me give a word of prudence Prudence is a give a word of prudence Prudence is a give a word of prudence Prudence is a skillful observation of the totality of skillful observation of the totality of skillful observation of the totality of human human human reality Prudence skilled observation of reality Prudence skilled observation of reality Prudence skilled observation of the totality of human reality all right the totality of human reality all right the totality of human reality all right and the Bible teaches us to pay and the Bible teaches us to pay and the Bible teaches us to pay attention to what's going on around us attention to what's going on around us attention to what's going on around us it is filled with stories of human it is filled with stories of human it is filled with stories of human realities things that happen to real realities things that happen to real realities things that happen to real people people people amen how many know that those disciples amen how many know that those disciples amen how many know that those disciples didn't walk three feet off the ground didn't walk three feet off the ground didn't walk three feet off the ground they were human just like us so as we they were human just like us so as we they were human just like us so as we develop our skills of observation when develop our skills of observation when develop our skills of observation when we read these we read these we read these stories we can learn so much how many

stories we can learn so much how many stories we can learn so much how many have heard this before everything God have heard this before everything God have heard this before everything God does he does according to a come on does he does according to a come on does he does according to a come on pattern and based on a what princip a pattern and based on a what princip a pattern and based on a what princip a principle a principle of Broad and basic principle a principle of Broad and basic principle a principle of Broad and basic truth that truth that truth that requires wisdom Insight experience requires wisdom Insight experience requires wisdom Insight experience discernment Etc but patterns are discernment Etc but patterns are discernment Etc but patterns are fundamental they are fundamental C uh fundamental they are fundamental C uh fundamental they are fundamental C uh Concepts that are characterized by Concepts that are characterized by Concepts that are characterized by things like recurring they things like recurring they things like recurring they recur patterns are structure and patterns have a structure and patterns have a sequence you got that so not only that sequence you got that so not only that sequence you got that so not only that everything that God does is according to everything that God does is according to everything that God does is according to a pattern and based upon a principle but a pattern and based upon a principle but a pattern and based upon a principle but the whole universe is designed based on the whole universe is designed based on the whole universe is designed based on what patterns when you're in grade what patterns when you're in grade what patterns when you're in grade school even even in first grade what do school even even in first grade what do school even even in first grade what do they teach you they have pictures of they teach you they have pictures of they teach you they have pictures of three apples and an three apples and an three apples and an orange and what did they trying to get orange and what did they trying to get orange and what did they trying to get you to do to notice what's different if you to do to notice what's different if you to do to notice what's different if the pattern is three apples and then all the pattern is three apples and then all the pattern is three apples and then all of a sudden Armen shows up you know that of a sudden Armen shows up you know that of a sudden Armen shows up you know that the pattern has been disrupted it is the pattern has been disrupted it is the pattern has been disrupted it is true in mathematics it's true in science true in mathematics it's true in science true in mathematics it's true in science it's true in philosophy on and on and on

it's true in philosophy on and on and on it's true in philosophy on and on and on because patterns are because patterns are because patterns are identifiable by their identifiable by their identifiable by their repetition patterns are repetition patterns are repetition patterns are identifiable by their identifiable by their identifiable by their repetition pattern is the same thing's repetition pattern is the same thing's repetition pattern is the same thing's going to happen again and again and going to happen again and again and going to happen again and again and again it's going to come around how many again it's going to come around how many again it's going to come around how many of You observe patterns like of You observe patterns like of You observe patterns like that and it's true across the that and it's true across the that and it's true across the boards but patterns play a fundamental boards but patterns play a fundamental boards but patterns play a fundamental role in understanding and explaining how role in understanding and explaining how role in understanding and explaining how things things things work even how we work even how we work even how we work if you have a pattern in the kind work if you have a pattern in the kind work if you have a pattern in the kind of people you're in relationship with of people you're in relationship with of people you're in relationship with that is detrimental to you you need to that is detrimental to you you need to that is detrimental to you you need to break that pattern are you with pattern are you with me because these patterns can form and me because these patterns can form and me because these patterns can form and then you get so caught up in the then you get so caught up in the then you get so caught up in the pattern that you don't realize it and pattern that you don't realize it and pattern that you don't realize it and you're not paying attention to the cycle you're not paying attention to the cycle you're not paying attention to the cycle that you're caught in amen very very that you're caught in amen very very that you're caught in amen very very important so the recognition and important so the recognition and important so the recognition and Analysis of patterns allow us get this Analysis of patterns allow us get this Analysis of patterns allow us get this the recognition and Analysis of patterns the recognition and Analysis of patterns the recognition and Analysis of patterns allow us allow us allow us to to to understand understand understand predict and predict and predict and influence events and behavior when you

influence events and behavior when you influence events and behavior when you see what a person does over and over and see what a person does over and over and see what a person does over and over and over again you can pretty much over again you can pretty much over again you can pretty much understand how how that person works and understand how how that person works and understand how how that person works and the patterns that they work by there may the patterns that they work by there may the patterns that they work by there may be good patterns that are Dependable be good patterns that are Dependable be good patterns that are Dependable that you are willing to invest in have that you are willing to invest in have that you are willing to invest in have faith in but then there may be bad faith in but then there may be bad faith in but then there may be bad patterns that you don't want to be a patterns that you don't want to be a patterns that you don't want to be a part part part of Is that real is that where we live of Is that real is that where we live of Is that real is that where we live again the recognition the ability to again the recognition the ability to again the recognition the ability to recognize a pattern I see ah I see a recognize a pattern I see ah I see a recognize a pattern I see ah I see a pattern I see a pattern here and based pattern I see a pattern here and based pattern I see a pattern here and based upon the pattern that I see I'm going to upon the pattern that I see I'm going to upon the pattern that I see I'm going to adjust myself I'm going to make some adjust myself I'm going to make some adjust myself I'm going to make some personal adjustments in relationship to personal adjustments in relationship to personal adjustments in relationship to you that situation that thing that you that situation that thing that you that situation that thing that problem that circumstance whatever it problem that circumstance whatever it problem that circumstance whatever it may be so the recognition and Analysis may be so the recognition and Analysis may be so the recognition and Analysis not just to recognize it but to analyze not just to recognize it but to analyze not just to recognize it but to analyze it to understand okay why is that it to understand okay why is that it to understand okay why is that pattern taking pattern taking pattern taking place the recognition and Analysis of place the recognition and Analysis of place the recognition and Analysis of patterns allow us to predict to patterns allow us to predict to patterns allow us to predict to understand predict and influence events understand predict and influence events understand predict and influence events and behaviors especially our own and behaviors especially our own and behaviors especially our own behavior because once once we understand behavior because once once we understand behavior because once once we understand patterns that we are caught in that we patterns that we are caught in that we patterns that we are caught in that we are guilty of guess what you need to go are guilty of guess what you need to go are guilty of guess what you need to go to work and change those to work and change those to work and change those patterns this is good patterns this is good patterns this is good preaching they are orderly they're preaching they are orderly they're preaching they are orderly they're predictable they're structured they predictable they're structured they predictable they're structured they happen in sequence got it so oh man I'm happen in sequence got it so oh man I'm happen in sequence got it so oh man I'm a minute over keep

a minute over keep a minute over keep going I love how y'all give me going I love how y'all give me going I love how y'all give me permission so here's the deal there was permission so here's the deal there was permission so here's the deal there was a day it's in the Bible I'm going to clo a day it's in the Bible I'm going to clo a day it's in the Bible I'm going to clo wrap it up with this there was a day wrap it up with this there was a day wrap it up with this there was a day when the sons of when the sons of when the sons of God gathered themselves before God gathered themselves before God gathered themselves before Yahweh notice how I use that in your also how many read that in the Book of also how many read that in the Book of Job and God asked and God asked him where you been what youve been up him where you been what youve been up him where you been what youve been up to I've been traveling the to I've been traveling the to I've been traveling the Earth checking things Earth checking things Earth checking things out looking for who I can out looking for who I can out looking for who I can accuse because the text is a accuse because the text is a accuse because the text is a prosecutorial posture from Satan so he prosecutorial posture from Satan so he prosecutorial posture from Satan so he was responding to God by saying I'm was responding to God by saying I'm was responding to God by saying I'm checking out to see who I can bring checking out to see who I can bring checking out to see who I can bring charges against so God now against so God now responds have you checked out AR Bernard responds have you checked out AR Bernard responds have you checked out AR Bernard modern 21st century Edition version modern 21st century Edition version modern 21st century Edition version translation have you checked out my translation have you checked out my translation have you checked out my servant job he's a God-fearing man he's servant job he's a God-fearing man he's servant job he's a God-fearing man he's upstanding he's a righteous man and the upstanding he's a righteous man and the upstanding he's a righteous man and the devil says of course he is you've got a
