1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,920
OK, I want you guys to take a 
look at these three emojis and 

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,000
then wait to see if you can 
guess correctly which of the 

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,480
seven deadly sins they 
represent. 

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,240
Are you ready? 
Well, let's go first one. 

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,440
What sin comes to mind? 
A crown, a mirror, and a sassy 

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,360
manicure. 
That's right, pride. 

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,440
The big one. 
The sin that says I am the main 

8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,840
character and everyone else is 
just background extras. 

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,920
It's often called the queen of 
sins because it's where all the 

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,680
others sprout from. 
It's the sin that got Lucifer 

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,240
kicked out of heaven. 
And it's the sin that very often

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,280
stops people from coming to 
Jesus because they believe that 

13
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,560
they are already good people and
they would never dream of crying

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,600
out to God to have mercy on them
for all of their wrongdoing. 

15
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,840
Now, if you found the first 
round difficult, this one gets 

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,600
much easier. 
Check this out. 

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,160
We've got money bags, a cash 
face and a bank. 

18
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,520
Yes, I'm talking about greed. 
The one that whispers just a 

19
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,360
little more and then I'll be 
happy. 

20
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,360
But spoiler alerts you won't. 
It's just like what the genie 

21
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,600
said when Aladdin was 
considering using one of his 

22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,680
wishes to make himself 
incredibly rich. 

23
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,520
Do me a favour, do not drink 
from that cup. 

24
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,800
I promise you there is not 
enough money and power on earth 

25
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,480
for you to be satisfied. 
Hey, this next part's a little 

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,520
bit important so you might just 
want to catch this, but in a 

27
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,800
moment I'm going to share with 
you which of these embarrassing 

28
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,120
sins I personally struggle with 
the most, and I think the answer

29
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,680
might just shock you. 
OK, we're in round 3 and we've 

30
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,880
got eyes, a broken heart and 
green. 

31
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,600
Have you got it? 
Envy. 

32
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,560
That's the sin that says why 
should they have what I don't? 

33
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:50,160
Jealousy turns you bitter real 
quick, and it makes it nearly 

34
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,240
impossible to see the current 
blessings that God has placed in

35
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,200
your life. 
Because as President Theodore 

36
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,000
Roosevelt once said, comparison 
is the thief of joy. 

37
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,680
Round 4. 
Now we've got a smirk, face fire

38
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:08,520
and a kiss. 
Yes, it's lust. 

39
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:12,120
It's the one that promises 
thrill but leaves you empty. 

40
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,160
It's the sin that never 
satisfies and the one that no 

41
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,360
one ever likes to talk about. 
But we must bring this one to 

42
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,080
light. 
Because out of all of these 

43
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,360
deadly sins, this is the one 
that grows in the dark, right? 

44
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,840
Trust me, if you've not guessed 
a single one correctly so far, 

45
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,840
you will get this one because 
it's pretty obvious. 

46
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:38,680
We've got pizza, burgers, fries.
Come on. 

47
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:42,440
I'm talking about gluttony. 
We often think of overeating, 

48
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,880
but it's more than that. 
It's anything that we consume in

49
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,120
excess, even Netflix or 
scrolling on videos all day 

50
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,560
long. 
But the Japanese have a 

51
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,880
principle which they call 
Harahachi Boo, which effectively

52
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,240
means stop eating once you are 
80% full. 

53
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,760
And I think you and I could 
learn a thing or two from the 

54
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,920
Japanese because the Bible does 
warn about those whose God is 

55
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:07,800
their belly and whose appetite 
rules their lives. 

56
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,400
We are now down to the last two 
sins on our list. 

57
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,280
So here's number six. 
We've got an angry face fire and

58
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,680
a comic style rage symbol. 
That's easy, isn't it? 

59
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,160
Wrath or wrath? 
If you're American, you probably

60
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,280
know that not all anger is 
wrong. 

61
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,520
For instance, being angry and 
injustice is actually a good 

62
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,520
thing. 
And Jesus himself showed 

63
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,440
righteous anger when he drove 
the money changers out of the 

64
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,840
Holy Temple. 
So what type of anger are we 

65
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,440
talking about? 
What type is actually wrong? 

66
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,840
Well, we're describing an anger 
which is out of control, like 

67
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,040
losing your temper over minor 
things. 

68
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,400
For instance, when a driver uses
all kinds of colorful language 

69
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,800
when they have road rage, or a 
person who goes crazy when you 

70
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,120
say or do something that offends
them. 

71
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,480
And finally, our last on the 
list of the seven deadly sins is

72
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,360
we have bed, a sleepy face, and 
a sloth. 

73
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,600
Well, the last emoji basically 
gave the game away, didn't it? 

74
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,200
Sloth. 
This isn't just laziness though.

75
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,560
It's ignoring the good things 
that we should be doing, like 

76
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,200
when you procrastinate for three
hours instead of doing your 

77
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,920
homework or your chores. 
We sometimes go easy on this sin

78
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,800
and even find it funny. 
But if you think it's a joke, 

79
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,880
just read the book of Proverbs. 
Because God's Word calls this 

80
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,400
person a sluggard and shows us 
that the slothful person 

81
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,120
effectively achieves nothing 
with their life. 

82
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,160
So come on now, talk to me. 
How many did you get right? 

83
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,720
123 or even all 7. 
Well, here's the part you've all

84
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,920
been waiting for. 
Which of these sins do you think

85
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,760
that I struggle with the most? 
Well, before I embarrass myself 

86
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,720
on the entire Internet, would 
you first let me know which of 

87
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,480
these seven deadly sins you also
struggle with? 

88
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,280
Type yours in the comments 
section because it might just 

89
00:04:56,280 --> 00:04:59,360
help someone else to not feel so
alone in this. 

90
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,280
OK, it's my turn. 
In all honesty, I struggle with 

91
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,840
all seven of these sins in 
different ways, but if I could 

92
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:12,000
only pick one, if I'm completely
transparent with you, it would 

93
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,160
be lost. 
Now, if you only remember one 

94
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,080
thing from this video, remember 
this. 

95
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,680
For those of you who also 
struggle with lust, I want you 

96
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,880
to know something. 
It never truly disappears, even 

97
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,200
if you managed to completely 
stop watching. 

98
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,480
You know what? 
And that's really what happened 

99
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,400
to me. 
I thought once I escaped those 

100
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,040
lonely nights on the Internet 
and vowed to God that I would 

101
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,800
never do it again, my mind would
be finally free. 

102
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,440
Well, all glory to God alone. 
He did set me free from watching

103
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,280
that stuff. 
But even years later, I'm still 

104
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:43,560
ashamed of some of the thoughts 
I think. 

105
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,360
You know, simple tasks like 
driving, walking down the 

106
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,760
street, and even going to the 
beach. 

107
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,120
I have to cover it in prayer 
because I know just how weak I 

108
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,000
am in this area. 
But hey, I know exactly what 

109
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,640
you're thinking right now. 
Well Joe, what's the point of 

110
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,880
quitting the other stuff if 
you're telling me years on later

111
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,920
you're still struggling with 
lust even though you've got why?

112
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,040
Why should I bother quitting in 
the 1st place? 

113
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,880
Well, I can promise you this, 
things would be a lot easier if 

114
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,960
I did not waste my youth filling
my mind with all of this junk 

115
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,880
for hours and hours daily. 
Guys, it is critical that you 

116
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,400
understand this. 
Your heart is like a garden and 

117
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,920
there are seeds that were 
planted in my garden at just 13 

118
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,160
years of age which eventually 
one day would grow into a 

119
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,960
monstrous tree. 
A tree that was so big I could 

120
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,040
never cuss it down. 
But the Lord Jesus Christ took 

121
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,560
his strong axe and he did chop 
it down for me. 

122
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,520
Friends, you do realize this, 
don't you, That whatever sins 

123
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,040
you struggle with, whatever the 
Goliath is in your life, God can

124
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,400
give you the ability to defeat 
this sin. 

125
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,520
Will you still struggle with it?
Yes. 

126
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:53,360
Just like David who did defeat 
Goliath after he took him down. 

127
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,400
He still had battles to face in 
his life. 

128
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,600
And you will always battle. 
We'll never ever be the finished

129
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,000
product until the Lord Jesus 
Christ returns. 

130
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,920
None of us are ever perfect. 
Are we only Jesus's. 

131
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,920
But the one who rose from the 
grave, the one who promises us 

132
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,760
from his resurrection, we are 
now dead to sin. 

133
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,120
He can give us hope, the Lord 
Jesus Christ. 

134
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,920
He can restore your dignity 
today and he can give you a new 

135
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:16,840
beginning. 
Why? 

136
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,600
Because it's not just seven of 
the deadly sins that were paid 

137
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,760
for at Calvary, but thousands 
and thousands, millions and 

138
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,320
billions. 
Every sin that was ever 

139
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,160
committed was nailed to that 
cross with Jesus Christ, and he 

140
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,280
paid the price for those sins 
with his very blood. 

141
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,120
So even though we we do mess up,
and we do, when God looks at us,

142
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,680
he doesn't see our daily 
failures anymore. 

143
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,760
He sees us as pure as snow 
because Christ's blood has 

144
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,280
washed us clean and has made us 
righteous in God's eyes. 

145
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,040
I do hope you know that 
personally for yourself. 

146
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,360
I do hope that you've believed 
upon the precious name of the 

147
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,920
Lord Jesus Christ for salvation 
and forgiveness. 

148
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,760
Because if you haven't, what are
you waiting for? 

149
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,160
Humble yourself and ask the Lord
Jesus Christ to cleanse you of 

150
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,080
all sin and to come and live 
side of your heart. 

151
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,680
But please listen to me. 
I can't just leave all of my 

152
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,280
precious brothers and sisters in
Christ who are saying to me 

153
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,120
right now, yes, I am struggling 
with lust. 

154
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,120
I can't leave you without 
offering you help today. 

155
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,000
And the best part of this help 
is it's totally free. 

156
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,480

Kirby. 
That's Kirby. 

159
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,920
And there you will find all the 
lessons that God taught me over 

160
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,559
12 years of struggle we've lost 
and all the biblical teachings 

161
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:39,080
and strategies that enabled me 
to eventually find V1 more 

162
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,559
thing. 
A big thank you to everyone who 

163
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,400
supports my ministry through our
website or through being a 

164
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,240
channel member. 
You are the reason why I'm able 

165
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,560
not to run adverts on my channel
and also the reason why I'm able

166
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:53,080
to offer all of these resources 
for free. 

167
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,280
So guys, I hold my hand up now 
and I refuse to take any credit,

168
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,040
but I know you'd say all glory 
to Gods and I can Amen that too.

169
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,360
Are you still here? 
Well, if you are, you've 

170
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,280
obviously got a few minutes to 
spare. 

171
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,480
And if you do, please, please go
and check out my insane video 

172
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,960
all about angels who appeared in
the Bible.
