1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
This book, it represents your 
hearts. 

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,800
And what I'm going to do is I'm 
going to keep adding different 

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,700
things into your heart. 
If the book it leaks. 

4
00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:11,300
It means that your heart is not 
satisfied. 

5
00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:14,100
But if whatever I add into this 
book, it remains in the book, it

6
00:00:14,100 --> 00:00:17,900
it stays there. 
That means we found the secret 

7
00:00:17,900 --> 00:00:20,000
to happiness. 
So you're ready for it. 

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,900
Do you want to know what the 
true meaning of happiness is, 

9
00:00:22,900 --> 00:00:25,900
will stick around to the end of 
this video because this book, it

10
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:27,500
might just teach you a lesson or
two. 

11
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:29,800
The rapper Drake wants said 
litha today. 

12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,400
Day plan for tomorrow, but party
tonight party tonight and many 

13
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,000
people spend their whole lives 
living for the weekend. 

14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,300
So, let's see if Drake was. 
Right. 

15
00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:42,700
Let's see. 
If parties really do, lead to 

16
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:45,400
Lasting happiness. 
Let's add some alcohol to this 

17
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,600
party. 
When I was at University, my 

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,800
life was like this bucket of 
water with holes at the bottom 

19
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,400
of it. 
I kept topping it off with 

20
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,600
alcohol with cannabis with 
girls, but it just kept seeping 

21
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,600
out of the bottom. 
Why? 

22
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:02,200
Because those Pleasures are 
temporary. 

23
00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:06,100
And mark my words friends. 
There is a price to pay if you 

24
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:10,300
live on Pleasure Island, Peter 
Pan always has to grow up. 

25
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:15,300
Now, many people think if I get 
rich, if I get famous, if I make

26
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:18,100
lots and lots of money, then 
I'll be happy. 

27
00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:22,100
So, let's find out if money 
really does bring lasting 

28
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,500
happiness. 
You see, you know, as well as I 

29
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:28,100
do. 
Some of the richest people in 

30
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:31,300
the world have also been some of
the most miserable people in the

31
00:01:31,308 --> 00:01:33,600
world. 
Jim Carrey himself said, I wish 

32
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,600
that everyone could be rich and 
famous. 

33
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,400
So they'd find out. 
It wasn't the answer to anything

34
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,700
at all, but I know exactly what 
you're thinking. 

35
00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:42,900
You're thinking. 
So far, you've been very 

36
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:44,800
superficial. 
Personally. 

37
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,800
I love to live for my family. 
That's what gives me meaning and

38
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,800
purpose, spending time with my 
children, and as a family man, 

39
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,500
myself. 
I've got to admit. 

40
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:55,100
You've got a point there. 
There is nothing better than a 

41
00:01:55,107 --> 00:01:57,800
day out with your children. 
Just spending time with your 

42
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,000
wife and kids. 
It's wonderful, isn't it? 

43
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,500
But let's find out if it really 
is the true secret to happiness.

44
00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:10,900
Well, as we can see, the bucket 
is still leaking, did you know, 

45
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:14,200
there is something even better 
than family that I'm about to 

46
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,200
tell you about right now. 
So, tell us Joe. 

47
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,600
What is the secret to happiness?
Well, there's one more thing. 

48
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:32,400
We haven't tried and it's called
The Living Water one day. 

49
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,200
Jesus met a woman as a well. 
And this woman would put a Is 

50
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,000
above Taylor to shame, she'd had
five marriages. 

51
00:02:39,100 --> 00:02:42,100
She'd search for happiness in 
all the wrong places. 

52
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,800
So what did Jesus say to her? 
He was weary. 

53
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,000
He was tired from his journey. 
We see the humanity of Jesus 

54
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,600
Christ very clearly in this 
scene. 

55
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:56,000
He said, give me a drink. 
The woman responded by saying 

56
00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:58,700
the well is deep, my dear 
friends. 

57
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:01,800
The well is deep. 
There is an aching hole in the 

58
00:03:01,808 --> 00:03:04,500
human heart that all the money, 
all the success, or the 

59
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:07,700
pleasures of this world. 
Simply cannot fill. 

60
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,400
So, what did Jesus respond by 
saying? 

61
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:15,500
Jesus answered and said to her. 
Whoever drinks of this water 

62
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,400
will thirst again, but whoever 
drinks of the water that I shall

63
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,100
give him will never thirst. 
But the water that I shall give 

64
00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:28,100
him will become in him. 
A fountain of water springing up

65
00:03:28,300 --> 00:03:31,900
into Everlasting lie. 
May I ask you a personal 

66
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:35,300
question? 
Are you thirsty? 

67
00:03:35,300 --> 00:03:37,600
Have you? 
This Earth have you looked in 

68
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,300
all kinds of places, trying to 
find some meaning trying to find

69
00:03:41,300 --> 00:03:45,100
some kind of purpose, but every 
time you go to these things, 

70
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,100
they leave you more and more 
empty. 

71
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:48,900
Let me put it another way to 
you. 

72
00:03:49,100 --> 00:03:51,300
Imagine now. 
I have some kind of super power 

73
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,300
and I can make you the king the 
queen and you could have 

74
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:59,400
everything you ever wanted. 
Would it make you happy over to 

75
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,800
you if the answer's? 
No, then why do you keep chasing

76
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,900
after these things after 
knowledge after? 

77
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,800
To power after money after 
pleasure. 

78
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,700
Why did you chase these things? 
When, you know, they do not make

79
00:04:10,700 --> 00:04:13,000
you happy. 
You know what, breaks my heart. 

80
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,900
I know right now. 
There will be someone watching 

81
00:04:15,900 --> 00:04:19,600
this video and you won't even 
take anything that I say into 

82
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,400
consideration. 
You'll just completely dismiss 

83
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,200
the message without giving it a 
second thought. 

84
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,800
The Bible says, o taste and see 
that the Lord is good. 

85
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:33,800
But some of you you're not even 
willing to take just one bite, 

86
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,400
but if that is, you can I just 
say This God is good. 

87
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,400
And even though you spent your 
whole life running from this 

88
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,200
wonderful God, who loves you 
who's given you breath in your 

89
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,600
lungs, even though you've spent 
your whole life rebelling 

90
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:49,600
against the gods, who is keeping
you alive, right now. 

91
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,400
He still loves you. 
The Bible says that he knows the

92
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,900
very number of hairs are on your
head. 

93
00:04:55,900 --> 00:04:58,100
He knows your fears. 
He knows your anxieties. 

94
00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:01,700
He knows what you enjoy and he 
cares about you deeply. 

95
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:05,400
My dear friends. 
Why did you reject this? 

96
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,800
Loving God? 
God, who sent his only? 

97
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,200
Begotten son to bleed and die on
a cross to die for your lies, 

98
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,300
for your blasphemy, for your 
pride, for your lost. 

99
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:17,300
He took the punishment for your 
sin. 

100
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,600
God prepared a sacrifice because
he loves you so much because 

101
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,300
these sins, they block our way 
into getting into heaven. 

102
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,500
They separate us from the God 
who loves us so much. 

103
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:31,700
And they mean, that we can never
get to heaven because were dirty

104
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:36,200
were on clean, but when Jesus 
died on the cross, his blood Can

105
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,400
make as clean his blood can 
washes whiter than snow. 

106
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:44,500
They say that Jesus is sort of 
the bridge between God and man, 

107
00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:48,300
and I think that's right. 
This guard who was thirsty who 

108
00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:51,500
came in a human skin and ask 
that woman to give him a drink. 

109
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:56,100
He also was The God Who rose 
from the dead now, come on guys.

110
00:05:56,100 --> 00:05:58,100
Let's just be honest with one 
another. 

111
00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:01,700
There's very few people today 
that we can trust. 

112
00:06:01,700 --> 00:06:04,300
The politicians. 
Say I'll do this, but they do 

113
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:07,500
the complete opposite. 
The Port stars are taking drugs 

114
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:10,700
behind the scene to sort of 
enhance their performance and 

115
00:06:10,700 --> 00:06:13,000
even the preachers. 
Let's be honest. 

116
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:16,300
It doesn't take much to find a 
preacher who has committed a 

117
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:19,200
scandal today. 
So we find it very hard to trust

118
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,700
people and any man or any woman 
with half a brain cell. 

119
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,600
If someone came up to you on the
street and said, drink of this 

120
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,300
water, and I'll give you 
everlasting life, you'd start to

121
00:06:29,300 --> 00:06:32,700
question and think, is this 
person trying to poison me. 

122
00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:36,900
How can I trust this person? 
Well, the Is this? 

123
00:06:36,900 --> 00:06:41,400
We can trust Jesus because he is
the only man to drink the cup of

124
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,000
suffering. 
He is the only God, man. 

125
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:46,800
Who swallowed a conquered? 
The grave? 

126
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,100
Defeated it all and rose from 
the dead and let me tell you 

127
00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:54,000
something. 
If someone raises themselves 

128
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,800
back to life after dying, do you
not think that person is worth 

129
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,900
listening to? 
I've been following Jesus Christ

130
00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:05,500
for 10 years in July, and he 
has, never let me down. 

131
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,500
I I failed in many times. 
But Jesus has never failed me. 

132
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:14,100
He is a man that I can put my 
trust in and he's a man that you

133
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:17,200
can also put your trust in. 
Okay, before you surrender your 

134
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,800
life to Jesus, before you become
a Christian, you do need to know

135
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,500
what you're signing up to. 
Jesus himself said, let any man,

136
00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:28,800
let any woman, who wants to 
follow me first count, the cost.

137
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,000
There is a cost of following the
Lord Jesus Christ, and in my own

138
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,700
experience. 
I lost a lot. 

139
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:37,100
When I first became a Christian,
my It's didn't want anything to 

140
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:39,600
do with me. 
They said, Joe, you now boring 

141
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,000
you've changed and really, they 
made a real mockery out of my 

142
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,200
faith in Christ. 
I've actually been attacked for 

143
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,700
being a Christian, when I stood 
up for my fate. 

144
00:07:48,700 --> 00:07:51,800
Let's be honest, those of us who
are Christians know that 

145
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,700
resisting temptation is no 
picnic. 

146
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:58,300
It can be very, very hard to 
battle against the flesh, every 

147
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:01,000
single day, being a Christian is
top. 

148
00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:04,500
But when you know, the Living 
God and you worship him 

149
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:08,400
everyday, then you realize what 
you've been created for. 

150
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:11,700
And I just want to tell anyone 
who's not drank from that Living

151
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:15,700
Water drink from it because all 
the cost, all the pain. 

152
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,400
It's totally worth having peace 
with God. 

153
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,300
And that's when, you know, that 
true happiness, that God created

154
00:08:22,300 --> 00:08:25,700
us to find. 
So there's really nothing else 

155
00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:29,300
left to say. 
But this receive him right now, 

156
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,500
turn off all of your social 
media, and just sitting 

157
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:35,600
quietness now and ask God to 
come. 

158
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Save you that you might drink of
this living water, but if you 

159
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,600
are already a believer in the 
Lord, Jesus Christ, YouTube has 

160
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,100
recommended a video just for you
out of all the videos on my 

161
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:49,800
YouTube channel. 
YouTube says, you've not watched

162
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,900
this video yet. 
So, let's see if the algorithm 

163
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:55,200
is right, and let's see if you 
find that video helpful, and if 

164
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,900
you haven't yet subscribed, 
please do click here. 

165
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,300
We'd love your friendship, here 
off the curb Ministries. 

166
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:02,500
God bless you all, and thank you
for watching.
