1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,760
OK, I want you guys to take a 
look at this chart and this one,

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,280
and most importantly this one 
here. 

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,800
When I was 10 years old, I was 
listening to rock music on my 

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,200
computer and by total accident, 
I first got my first exposure of

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,720
this stuff. 
Then at 13 years old, one of my 

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,120
friends took me up to his 
brother's room and we watched it

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,960
for the first time. 
And then by the age of 15, I was

8
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,000
watching it nearly every single 
day. 

9
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,200
And this pattern continued for 
many, many years until at my 

10
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,920
peak, I was watching it three to
four times a day. 

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,880
I thought it would go away when 
I married the girl of my dreams,

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,520
a woman way out of my league. 
And yet even then, I was 

13
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,000
secretly watching this stuff. 
Guys, if you're cringing right 

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,360
now, please know this. 
There is no one cringing. 

15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,400
There is no one more embarrassed
than me to share this story. 

16
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,000
So why do I do it? 
I do it for one reason and one 

17
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,040
reason alone. 
I now, in the Lord's grace, have

18
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,160
been able to break free from 
this. 

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,400
And actually, every 8th of 
April, me and my wife, we go out

20
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,800
for a meal to celebrate how it's
been another year of the keeping

21
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,440
me free from this sin. 
And I share this with you 

22
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,160
because I believe as a guy who's
a little bit older, I'm not in 

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,680
Gen. 
Z, as you can probably tell. 

24
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,440
I'm here now to tell you how you
also can break free because if 

25
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,880
God did it for me, the worst of 
sinners, the chief of sinners, 

26
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:18,280
he can also do it for you. 
And that is why I'm here today 

27
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,880
to tell you how. 
All right, take a look at this. 

28
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,520
We're back to concrete facts 
again. 

29
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,400
This right here is a healthy 
brain scan. 

30
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,000
This is what your brain should 
look like for a normal brain. 

31
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,320
And this is the kind of brain 
that consumes this stuff on a 

32
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:34,920
regular basis. 
But here's the scary part. 

33
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,040
You probably have never had your
brain scanned. 

34
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,760
So how do you know which brain 
you have? 

35
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,800
Well, one of the big signs is 
this. 

36
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,840
You cannot focus for very long. 
Your concentration span has 

37
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,200
diminished to nothing. 
And that, for me, bothers me 

38
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,920
more than anything because the 
person who needs to listen to 

39
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,000
these next three tips is the 
same person. 

40
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,520
You'll click off this video 
within a few seconds because you

41
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,520
cannot focus. 
So I plead with you. 

42
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,120
I'm going to ask you, will you 
stick around and will you you 

43
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,960
give me the opportunity to try 
and build some of these 

44
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,440
principles that can help you 
finally break free and live a 

45
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,560
life for the Lord Jesus Christ 
of holiness? 

46
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,080
OK tip #1 you need to retrain 
your brain. 

47
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,520
Imagine this scenario. 
You live next to a field and on 

48
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,000
one side you've got a gate to 
the field and then on the other 

49
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,280
side you've got a gate that 
leads to another field. 

50
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,800
And every morning you walk, you 
follow the same footsteps from 

51
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,280
this gate to the other gate. 
What is going to happen overtime

52
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,880
when you've got this thick 
luscious? 

53
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,560
What is going to happen if you 
follow those same footsteps over

54
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,880
and over again? 
Eventually you're going to get a

55
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,400
nicely formed path. 
Did you know your brain is 

56
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,600
exactly the same? 
Your brain works 3 pathways and 

57
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,600
when you do something over and 
over again, you build a habit. 

58
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,040
So if every day you do bicep 
curls in the morning at 8:00, 

59
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,920
first thing in the morning, 
overtime, your brain builds this

60
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:55,280
pattern that, OK, Joe wakes up 
and he does bicep curls, he 

61
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,920
tries to lift a few weights to 
try and get a bit of muscle. 

62
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,520
And it works exactly the same 
way for good habits, but also 

63
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,720
for bad habits. 
And what I'm telling you right 

64
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,400
now is you have a habit of 
watching wrong things on the 

65
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,080
Internet. 
You can't stop doing it. 

66
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,120
But listen to this. 
If you're in Gen. 

67
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,320
Z, do you know what your 
generation is called? 

68
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,440
It's called the generation of 
social media. 

69
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,600
You've grown up with Facebook 
when you were very, very young, 

70
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,280
Instagram, TikTok. 
And what happens when you're on 

71
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,040
these apps? 
You're on TikTok and suddenly a 

72
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,360
dance video comes up and it's 
not good to see that. 

73
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,480
It's not helpful to see that. 
Or you go on the Internet and 

74
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,200
you're just scrolling through 
Google Images. 

75
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,360
You see another unhelpful image,
or maybe your friend sends you a

76
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,120
picture, or you've got an 
advertisement in the bottom side

77
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,560
of the screen, or even an advert
in front of a YouTube video. 

78
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,320
That's why I don't put adverts 
on my videos. 

79
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,440
It's one of the main reasons I 
don't monetize. 

80
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,840
You see all of this stuff. 
What do you need to do? 

81
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,240
The very second you see that and
you know that your heart has 

82
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,960
been drawn away to this thing, 
what should you do? 

83
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,800
Get on the floor and pray, Lord 
God, cleanse my mind. 

84
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,360
If you've looked a bit too long 
and you know that sinners 

85
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,680
entered into your heart, you 
say, Lord God, please wash me 

86
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,400
clean. 
Wash me with the blood of the 

87
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,360
Lord Jesus Christ. 
Have mercy on me. 

88
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,880
And I literally, even though 
I've not watched this stuff, 

89
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,000
even though I've not done the 
thing that goes with this stuff 

90
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,080
for years, even to this day, I 
will get down on the floor. 

91
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,560
Whenever I see something, an 
advert in the corner of the 

92
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,040
screen on YouTube, I'll get my 
face into the floor and I'll 

93
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,760
say, Lord, have mercy on me. 
Wash away my sins. 

94
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,400
If my heart's been LED away, 
Lord, please just just cleanse 

95
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,640
me. 
I want to be a pure vessel 

96
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,680
before you. 
And if you do that over and over

97
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,400
again, honestly, it's quite a 
difficult thing. 

98
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,480
And suddenly you've retrained 
your mind to think these things.

99
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,400
They don't lead to happiness, 
they lead to sadness. 

100
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,040
Just as the Bible says, there is
a godly sorrow that leads to 

101
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,400
repentance. 
Let me let you into secret. 

102
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,120
I knew I was going to cover this
video today and I pray to God 

103
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,760
give me wisdom on what to say 
and the very first Bible verse I

104
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,160
read in my private devotion this
morning was this Bible verse. 

105
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,600
Are you ready for it? 
2nd Corinthians 7 verse one. 

106
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,760
Therefore having these promises,
beloved, let us cleanse 

107
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,480
ourselves from all filthiness of
the flesh and spirit, perfecting

108
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,280
holiness in the fear of God. 
So all day long you want to be 

109
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,000
cleansing yourself, asking God 
to clean you, to wash away any 

110
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,600
sins. 
And this even happens when I'm 

111
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,800
walking down the street. 
Obviously I can't get down and 

112
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,360
put my face in the floor and 
kneel down and do that active 

113
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,080
effort which is very difficult 
to do. 

114
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,360
But I can do this when I'm 
walking down the street just 

115
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,240
privately in my mind say Lord 
forgive me. 

116
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:29,520
The old Saints of the past, they
used to call it this, keep short

117
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,000
accounts with God. 
In other words, if you've ever 

118
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,280
done a business, you know you've
got to keep an account of 

119
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:36,240
everything you've done and 
you've got 2 choices. 

120
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,440
Either you can do your accounts 
at the end of the day. 

121
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,200
Now if you're a painter you can 
say right, I've got £50 for 

122
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,760
painting this wall and yesterday
I've got £30 for painting that 

123
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,520
door. 
You can do it that way or like 

124
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,640
most people do, they have all of
their accounts. 

125
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,920
They let it build up and at the 
end of the year they then have 

126
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,360
to trape through all of these 
accounts and it takes forever. 

127
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,240
And you and I want to be the 
wise one who does it at the end 

128
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,680
of the day, or even at the very 
moment, keep very short accounts

129
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,840
of God and tell him that you've 
sinned immediately or tell him 

130
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:07,000
your mind has seen something 
that's unhelpful. 

131
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,320
And that way you can stay close 
to the throne of God all day 

132
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,840
long #2 learn while you can. 
When I was 21 years old, around 

133
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:18,080
that age, an older Christian 
man, a preacher, rang me up and 

134
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,560
he said to me, Joe, you need to 
try and memorize as much 

135
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,200
Scripture. 
You need to try and learn as 

136
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,400
much biblical teaching, get as 
much doctrine inside of you now,

137
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,200
because when you are 30 years 
old, you will struggle to 

138
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,880
remember. 
And he said the things that I 

139
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,560
remembered before 30 have stuck 
with me for the rest of my life.

140
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,840
And I thought, what total 
hogwash. 

141
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:39,240
That's nonsense. 
Over 30, you're trying to tell 

142
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,680
me you don't learn anything. 
And no, he was isn't trying to 

143
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,120
say that, but there is something
to be said about that. 

144
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,600
Even now I'm in my well, I 
actually turned 34 tomorrow. 

145
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,840
I know that's probably the most 
shocking thing for this entire 

146
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:53,240
video, but even now I struggle 
to remember things like I did 

147
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,160
when I was in my 20s. 
I remember sermons, I remember 

148
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,000
lines. 
I can remember entire things 

149
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,440
that were just so easy back 
then. 

150
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,720
So if you're a Gen. 
Z, if you're a young person 

151
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,960
right now, you need to really 
capitalize on this. 

152
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,580
Don't be wasting time just 
filling all of your mind with 

153
00:07:07,580 --> 00:07:10,800
TikTok videos which will get 
stored into your memory and then

154
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,440
you won't have the same room to 
remember the things of God. 

155
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,040
Here is an absolutely vital 
verse if you're 1A young person 

156
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,040
and if two you struggle with 
sin. 

157
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:25,360
Psalm 119 verse 9 says how can a
young man cleanse his way by 

158
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,560
taking heed according to your 
word. 

159
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:32,480
And then verse 11, your word I 
have hidden in my heart that I 

160
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,200
might not sin against you. 
So in other words, if we hide 

161
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:42,400
the Word of God, if we bury it 
deep inside of us, suddenly sin 

162
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,840
will not be as easy to commit 
because we've got God's Word 

163
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,640
inside of us and it protects as 
it builds A barrier against sin.

164
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,560
There was a little girl and 
every day her mother used to 

165
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,200
dress her in the most beautiful,
pristine white dresses. 

166
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,520
But the mother would say to the 
little girl, when you go out and

167
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,320
play with your friends, I want 
you to be so careful that you do

168
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,440
not get any mud on your dress. 
So away went the little girl. 

169
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,840
She was having lots of fun 
playing with her friends, 

170
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,000
skipping, dancing, doing all 
this fun. 

171
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,760
Then she'd come home, knock on 
the door. 

172
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,560
Do you think that little girl 
had a clean dress or a dirty 

173
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,040
dress? 
What do you think? 

174
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,040
It was covered from head to toe 
in mud. 

175
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,520
She'd got it really dirty. 
And this pattern repeated itself

176
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,200
every day. 
The mother would say, here you 

177
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,520
are. 
You're in this beautiful white 

178
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,160
dress. 
Don't get it dirty, Keep it 

179
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,000
clean. 
And every day the little girl 

180
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,200
would come home and it was dirty
until one day something changed.

181
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,520
What changed? 
That little girl grew up. 

182
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,919
She became a woman. 
And suddenly the spirit of the 

183
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:43,600
mother was in parted to this 
younger girl, to this little 

184
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,400
girl. 
So my dear friend, if you 

185
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,120
haven't realized yet, that 
little girl is you. 

186
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,360
You see the Lord God, he wants 
you to have his desires. 

187
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,960
He wants you to learn his mind, 
his ways, his thoughts. 

188
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,520
And the only way we can do that 
is by getting in the word of God

189
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:00,880
every single day. 
So if you're not reading the 

190
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,920
Bible and you're wondering why 
you're struggling so much with 

191
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,840
sin, that is why. 
So first thing in the morning, 

192
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,200
get out of bed and get in the 
word Bible before breakfast and 

193
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,000
make sure you can get the word 
of God into you before the world

194
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,920
gets into you first. 
Finally #3 and if you remember 

195
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,160
one thing from this video, 
remember this. 

196
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,600
It is not too late for you. 
I've got a friend and he tells 

197
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,240
me that when he falls into sin, 
he feels like for a week, 2 

198
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,320
weeks, a couple of days at 
least, cannot approach God in 

199
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,000
prayer. 
He cannot think about God. 

200
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,000
He can't come before God because
he feels so unclean at what he's

201
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,560
done. 
And I know he's not the only 

202
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:40,800
one. 
You know, you've got people, 

203
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,480
people who say I can't share the
gospel because I'm living in 

204
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,880
this sin. 
I can't go out to church. 

205
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,120
I can't take communion. 
I can't do any of this because 

206
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,000
I'm sinning and, and I know 
I've, I've, I've messed up. 

207
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,040
If you've ever thought like 
that, you absolutely have to 

208
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,880
hear this verse in the book of 
Micah, because I think there'll 

209
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,400
be some people who've never ever
heard of this. 

210
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,320
And it's talking exactly about 
you. 

211
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,920
Do not rejoice over me, my 
enemy. 

212
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,960
When I fall, I will arise. 
When I sit in darkness, the Lord

213
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,040
will be a light to me. 
I will bear the indignation of 

214
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:16,400
the Lord because I have sinned 
against him until he pleads my 

215
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,720
case and executes justice for 
me. 

216
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,760
He will bring me forth to the 
lights. 

217
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,720
I will see His righteousness. 
So come on, Joe, tell us, what 

218
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,240
does this verse mean? 
Well, put very simply, this 

219
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,640
verse is telling you that you 
have an enemy who laughs, who 

220
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,320
rejoices over you when you sin. 
Do you know what the name Satan 

221
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,560
literally means? 
It means adversary. 

222
00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:40,760
It means the accuser. 
And what Satan does whenever you

223
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,560
sin, he through his many minions
will make you think, He will 

224
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:46,960
influence you to think you're 
too far gone. 

225
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,920
God doesn't love you anymore. 
How can you say you're a 

226
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,480
Christian? 
How can you say you love God and

227
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,800
yet you've gone to that sin over
and over and over again. 

228
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,200
You're a fake, you're a fraud, 
you're a hypocrite. 

229
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,280
When God sees you on the day of 
judgement, he will say, depart 

230
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,960
from me. 
I never knew you. 

231
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,200
All of these things will come to
you in that moment. 

232
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,600
And yet what does this verse 
say? 

233
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,080
No boldly you will say there is 
one who will plead my case. 

234
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,880
There is One who loved me enough
to bleed and die on a cross, 

235
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,840
knowing all of my failings, 
knowing all of the rottenness 

236
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,960
that's in me, He still loved me 
enough to die for me. 

237
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,720
Who is that man? 
Is the God man, Jesus Christ, 

238
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,520
who bore in his body your sins, 
past, present and future. 

239
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,240
All of your sins were put on him
and there on that cross, He was 

240
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,400
punished in your place so you 
can be forgiven and washed 

241
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,520
clean. 
And if you're someone who hides 

242
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,600
from God after you do these 
sins, can I ask you a very, very

243
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,480
serious question? 
What was the cross all about? 

244
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,800
What was that all about when 
Jesus died there? 

245
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,720
We're trying to somehow clean 
ourselves up before God. 

246
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,440
The message of the Bible is 
we're saved by grace. 

247
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,160
And if we come to Him and we 
say, Lord God, wash away my 

248
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,200
sins, we have an advocate with 
one who is righteous, the Lord 

249
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,480
Jesus Christ. 
He will plead our case and he 

250
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,200
will wash us again and He will 
give us a second chance because 

251
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,720
God is in the business of second
chances. 

252
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,440
My dear friend, I hope you are 
listening to this right now. 

253
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,960
I hope this is sinking in. 
I am by number means saying we 

254
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,800
should be light or we should be 
easy on sin, but I am saying 

255
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,560
this every time you do sin, get 
your face on the floor, humble 

256
00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:17,000
yourself, bow down before him 
and say, Lord have mercy on me. 

257
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,840
I'm a Sinner and do it 
instantly. 

258
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,840
Don't hide from him. 
Come to the cross straight away.

259
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,600
Hey, this next part's a little 
bit important, so you might just

260
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,840
want to catch this, but I want 
you to get a pen and piece of 

261
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,600
paper now and I want you to 
write two things down South. 

262
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,920
You can just remember this 
video. 

263
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,480
We might never see each other 
again. 

264
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,960
YouTube might never recommend 
this video to you again. 

265
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,320
You might never see me again, 
but I want you to remember this.

266
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,520
If you've got this piece of 
paper, the first thing I want 

267
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,040
you to write down is this. 
When we sin, we do not lose our 

268
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,800
salvation, but we lose the joy 
of our salvation. 

269
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,360
As David wrote in Psalm 51, 
restore to me the joy of your 

270
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,400
salvation. 
So when we sin, we don't lose 

271
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,800
our salvation. 
We lose the joy, we lose the 

272
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,840
intimacy, we lose the peace of 
God. 

273
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,520
And then the second thing I want
you to write down is a quote by 

274
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,880
a very famous preacher called 
Charles Spurtun. 

275
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,880
He once said as numerous as your
wanderings, so numerous your 

276
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,440
restorations will be. 
What did Spurgeon mean when he 

277
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,480
said that? 
He was saying yes. 

278
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,000
You might wander many times, 
many times you might fall into 

279
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,720
sin, but remember this, the Lord
God is willing to restore you 

280
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,920
just as many times. 
As long as you come to Him with 

281
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,160
a true, humble and contrite 
spirit, He can restore you. 

282
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,760
So never forget that. 
Keep fighting the sin, keep 

283
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,920
being ruthless with it. 
Remember that overtime, 

284
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,960
eventually, if you get into the 
Word, if you keep turning from 

285
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,000
this sin, eventually the Spirit 
of God will come into you and He

286
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,600
will dwell in you and He will 
give you new desires and a new 

287
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,520
heart until you can walk 
victory. 

288
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,320
And maybe who knows, you and 
your wife, you and your husband,

289
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,440
if you're a lady and you're 
watching this, you can go out 

290
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,120
for a victory meal every year to
say, look, this is all what God 

291
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,680
has done by grace. 
He's delivered me from this sin.

292
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:55,760
Guys, just be honest with me.
