preparation and the different

00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,920
things we've been able to 
accomplish in just such a short 

4
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,080
time, you know, from meeting 
with pastor, I'm grateful. 

5
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,520
And I just ask that tonight as 
we go through the lesson and we

00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,160
look at the Scriptures, see in 
the Kingdom arena of business

know, launching ourselves and 

8
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,240
and being able to take care of 
ourselves.

00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,720
Thank you for those in 
attendance tonight.

12
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,320
and along with bringing as many 
people with us as we can, we 

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,840
want to give you thanks in 
advance for that in Jesus name, 

14
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,160
Amen. 
We are going to be, we are going

15
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:52,520
to be having a meeting with 
pastor. 

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,360
We first of all is going to be 
Seth and I OK, Seth and pastor 

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,520
have been getting together on 
some things And, and then Seth 

18
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,560
and I went in and had a meeting.
Golly, I don't know remember 

19
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,000
when that was. 
It's first of the year probably.

20
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,840
And you know, just talking about
some things that we wanted to 

21
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,080
add to king of first business 
alliance. 

22
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,600
And so we, you know, we're going
to we've got some things 

23
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,040
planned. 
We've already got all the way to

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,040
the end of the year planned. 
And then we're going to be 

25
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,760
getting with pastor on some new 
things that we're wanting to do,

26
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,120
which includes, you know, a 
podcast that we can easily get 

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,160
to and you're not thumbing 
through the whole thing. 

28
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,200
We're going to be consistent on 
getting something on the podcast

29
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,120
every month. 
And when you get your and most 

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,800
of you, everybody got a text or 
an e-mail or both. 

31
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,880
Everybody get a text, e-mail or 
both. 

32
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,960
Bob, your Shay, Bob, Bill, did 
you get one? 

33
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:49,720
OK, Hi, that might be a problem.
OK. 

34
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,320
And did you get it? 
You're going to get his data. 

35
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,360
OK. 
I wanted you to have it more 

36
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,880
than anything. 
OK was the reason why is that 

37
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,160
you and I talked about the 
lesson from last week it he will

38
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,040
send you the link to get on it 
and that way you can get it to 

39
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,760
your wife and have her, you 
know, be caught up with you. 

40
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,960
OK, so that's that's the plan. 
And one of the things that we're

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,200
going to try to start doing is 
put the link on the 

42
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,160
communications that we're going 
to do every month. 

43
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,760
That's just something that we've
not been able to do. 

44
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,360
Seth knows how to do it. 
I didn't know how to do it and I

45
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,400
couldn't wait on media to do it.
OK, You know, 'cause it's just, 

46
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,040
they're so far out and now 
they're less handed than they 

47
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,960
were when we started this whole 
deal. 

48
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,040
All right? 
But so anyway, there's some, 

49
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,840
there's some things that we're 
going to be presenting and 

50
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,600
changing and encouraging you to 
just stay with us because it's 

51
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,000
going to be go up from here. 
You know, I just felt like over 

52
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,000
the last couple of years we've 
had some lols, you know, just 

53
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,920
come here, listen, come here, 
listen. 

54
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,600
And we're going to change some 
of that, OK? 

55
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,200
I think it's going to be pretty 
exciting. 

56
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,600
All right, get your Bible, get 
it open to Matthew chapter 13. 

57
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,960
It's going to be a biblical 
scripture standpoint that I'm 

58
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,960
going to go with tonight on 
communication. 

59
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:05,080
And when we talk about 
communication, one, it's going 

60
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,600
to be talking about speaking. 
And when we speak, there's 

61
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,600
certain things that we have to 
make sure that we're saying, OK,

62
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:16,720
now this is the account of 
Jesus. 

63
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,960
And, and I'm going to break some
things down and I'm going to 

64
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,840
just, I'm just going to keep 
going with it if I can to be 

65
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,840
able to get a good flow with 
this. 

66
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,320
But this is what it said. 
It said. 

67
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,640
And the disciples came and said 
unto him, why do you speak thou 

68
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:32,280
to them in parables? 
Unto them in parables. 

69
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,640
And he said, And Jesus answered 
and said unto them, Because it 

70
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,160
is given for you to know the 
mysteries of the Kingdom of 

71
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,880
heaven, but to them it is not 
given. 

72
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,560
I thought that was interesting. 
OK, that Jesus said, There's 

73
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,920
going to be some in the earth 
that are going to be given some 

74
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,520
secrets, and some that are not 
all right. 

75
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,200
Then he goes on, and he says, 
For whosoever hath to him shall 

76
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,320
be given, and he that has, he'll
have more in abundance, and 

77
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,200
whosoever hath not from him 
shall be taken away, even that 

78
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,840
which he had. 
Verse 13, It said Therefore 

79
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,120
speak I I to them in parables 
because they sing they can't see

80
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,520
and hearing they do not hear 
neither do they understand. 

81
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,399
So one of the things Jesus is 
educating us on in understanding

82
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:22,040
communication that there's going
to be people that are with you 

83
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,800
and they're going to get it and 
there's going to be some people 

84
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,120
wonder what in the world are you
talking about? 

85
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,880
And he tells us he said those 
that will spiritually try to get

86
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,560
in tune with what you're saying.
All right, he said they're going

87
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,240
to get more revelation. 
He said more they'll have an 

88
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,840
abundance. 
It's going to come more, it's 

89
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:41,400
going to come more, it's going 
to come more, he said, but those

90
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,280
that really don't have, you 
know, any interest in hearing 

91
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:47,920
what's going on, he said the 
very things that they do have 

92
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,400
will be taken away from them. 
So when we when we see Jesus 

93
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,720
illustration, you walk through 
his whole ministry with him in 

94
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,560
his whole ministry, the the 
disciples asked that question. 

95
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,280
They said, why do you speak unto
them in parables? 

96
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,200
So that must have been the way 
Jesus spoke to everyone in 

97
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,480
parables and he and they want to
know why, Why can't you just 

98
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,280
speak plainly to them? 
And he lets them know, he says, 

99
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:15,280
because you've been given the 
secrets of understanding the 

100
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:17,320
Kingdom. 
And he said, but they haven't. 

101
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,560
And I had to ask the question, 
why haven't they? 

102
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,440
Why haven't they begin again 
been given that? 

103
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,160
And it basically boils down 
because the way he explains it, 

104
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,040
he said, he said those that have
more will be given to him. 

105
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,400
They'll have an abundance. 
Those that don't have, he said 

106
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,480
it taken away. 
It's basically a desire to hear 

107
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,800
what's being said. 
They followed Jesus, they wanted

108
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,840
to hear Jesus and and I believe 
that he did parables to one get 

109
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:49,040
their attention. 
All right, there's so many 

110
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,880
different, you know, in the 
Greek of understanding the word 

111
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,280
parabola, which is the word 
parable, but it said it's an 

112
00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:57,480
earthly story. 
One of the definitions I learned

113
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,400
as a little kid and I even found
it in your Bible app. 

114
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,920
It said it is an earthly story 
with a heavenly meaning or 

115
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,880
heavenly purpose. 
So Jesus is telling these things

116
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,520
and and they're saying, well, 
that doesn't make sense. 

117
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:16,240
But if you've been given and 
understanding because you won't 

118
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,240
let him and his word go, you're 
going to be the 1A candidate to 

119
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,920
be able to hear what he's got to
say. 

120
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,280
And so when we talk about our 
own communication, all right, 

121
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:30,360
one of the things that I've seen
over the years is that the 

122
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,560
people that we love to listen to
are the ones that can give us an

123
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,920
illustration with what they're 
saying. 

124
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,680
We may not remember verbatim 
what they say, but I tell you 

125
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,560
what most people, and I'm going 
to give you some stories 

126
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:43,920
tonight. 
You'll be able to tell anybody 

127
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,120
else. 
All right, And people remember 

128
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,160
stories and and we always have. 
Jesus knew that they're going to

129
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,320
you know, I mean, I don't how 
many out of the 70 that showed 

130
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,640
up that he proclaimed as a 
disciples sent them out two by 

131
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,000
two. 
How many of them one day woke up

132
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,080
and got it. 
Wait a minute. 

133
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,840
I think this is what he's 
talking about, you know, and 

134
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:05,800
telling each other. 
Remember that parable he told 

135
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,360
us, you know, about the woman 
that was sweeping the house and 

136
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,160
she lost a coin and she swept 
the whole dirt floor, right? 

137
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,400
And it swept it and found that 
coin and, and got all excited or

138
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,120
the, you know, the 99 sheep and 
went and go found the found the 

139
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,600
one that was missing. 
You know, he's telling these 

140
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:26,000
stories to get their curiosity. 
This is in communication. 

141
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,400
We always need to keep a level 
of curiosity, not so much of 

142
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,320
what you're going to say to them
and hoping they catch it, but 

143
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,240
you need to have curiosity of 
what someone else says to you. 

144
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,760
All right, to be able to get it 
and get an understanding and 

145
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,520
find out. 
This is a problem with a lot of 

146
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,160
us, OK, Sometimes we act like we
ain't got time for nothing. 

147
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,840
Oh, we're just too busy. 
Somebody's trying to 

148
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,680
communicate, you know, with this
real important. 

149
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,640
You know, there's a movie that I
loved as a kid growing up called

150
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,600
Snowball Express. 
I don't know if you saw it was a

151
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,880
Disney movie. 
OK Dean Jones was one of the, 

152
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,360
you know, highest paid actors 
for Disney back in the 70s and 

153
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,120
80s. 
And it was so funny. 

154
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:11,480
His in this in this story, he 
inherited a hotel in Colorado. 

155
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,760
So he leaves his high paying job
in New York and drags the whole 

156
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,440
family to this hotel that they 
say is making money and stuff. 

157
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,360
And it is empty cobwebs 
everywhere. 

158
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,520
All right, furniture upside down
with covers on it. 

159
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,400
And they're thinking we got to 
live here, right. 

160
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,919
Well, it was funny when it all 
came down to it. 

161
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:35,320
There was a banker that wanted 
the property for all the 

162
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,720
minerals and all the trees and 
all the stuff on the property. 

163
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,960
And he he gave the guy some 
money to get started knowing he 

164
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:44,520
wouldn't be able to pay it and 
he was going to foreclose on it.

165
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,240
And the kid kept, you know, 
wanting to interrupt his dad. 

166
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,240
He just says, don't bother me 
right now. 

167
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,680
I'm thinking about this. 
Don't bother me right now. 

168
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,760
I'm thinking about this. 
Well, her, you know, it hurt his

169
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,160
feelings and the and the boy 
didn't say anything. 

170
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,480
And mom said here was a note 
from the the boy. 

171
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,560
And he said, you know, you want 
to make a ski resort out of this

172
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:09,400
place. 
And he said you can't figure out

173
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,440
how to get the tow rope up on 
the hill. 

174
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,440
And he said, and why can't the 
tow machine tow itself up on the

175
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,400
hill? 
Well, he said, he's a genius 

176
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,800
man. 
And they did that. 

177
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,120
Well, then there the next 
opportunity, when they were 

178
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,840
getting ready to foreclose on 
the property, the boys start 

179
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,840
speaking up again. 
And the dad's going, hold on, 

180
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,320
Richard, hang on a second. 
And he goes and he stops. 

181
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,320
He goes, what would you like to 
say, Richard? 

182
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:39,360
And he said, well, he said, I 
think that I heard that if there

183
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:45,760
wasn't a library or a hospital 
in the town that it reverted 

184
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,320
back to the original owner, 
which was your uncle. 

185
00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:54,920
And everybody looks over at the 
banker and he says, you got an 

186
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,360
aspirin, you know. 
So The thing is we're, when we 

187
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,000
take the time, you know, to 
listen, you know, we that that's

188
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,880
the two parts of communication. 
So, you know, tonight, let me 

189
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,600
give you a definition. 
This has always been my 

190
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,640
definition for effective 
communication, just not talking 

191
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,040
and, and, and somebody, you 
know, you hear people over here 

192
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,520
doing this and doing that, but 
when you're really trying to 

193
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:18,960
communicate, this is what you're
going to do. 

194
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,360
This is my definition. 
It says the ability to paint 

195
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,880
pictures in the mind of others. 
Let me just read it. 

196
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,480
It said to clarify a subject 
being discussed or bring a 

197
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,400
desired world to result to a 
particular task. 

198
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,720
So effective communication is 
being able to paint pictures of 

199
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,240
the outcome you'd like to see, 
whether it's a, you're 

200
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,880
discussing something about 
whatever or you have a task that

201
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,200
you're trying to explain. 
All right. 

202
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,960
And, and you have to be a good 
communicator because if you're 

203
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,120
not a good communicator, if 
you're not painting the right 

204
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,520
pictures, I've had this happen. 
All right. 

205
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,080
Yeah, I said it set everybody 
down. 

206
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,640
This is what we're going to do, 
team. 

207
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,960
This is what's going to happen. 
So when we had to get at the end

208
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,320
of the conveyor belt, this is 
what I want to see, right? 

209
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:03,280
And I get, you know, I go about 
doing what I'm supposed to be 

210
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,640
doing. 
They're all doing what they're 

211
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:05,960
supposed to do. 
And I get to the end of the 

212
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,080
conveyor, and it ain't nothing 
like we talked about. 

213
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,880
Now, haven't we all played that 
game, you know, where we had the

214
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,240
whole front row filled up? 
And I go over here and whisper 

215
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,680
to Seth and I say something to 
him. 

216
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:18,000
And by the time he gets to the 
end, it is so messed up. 

217
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,800
It is so far on what we 
originally said, it's hilarious,

218
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,840
OK, We don't want to play that 
game in real life. 

219
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,800
It's too expensive. 
It takes up too much time. 

220
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,120
All right, so there's some 
considerations that I want to 

221
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,480
give you tonight. 
I have 4 of them that I want to 

222
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,560
give you and with some with some
scriptures and I want you to jot

223
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:43,840
these down to your 
interpretation. 

224
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,440
OK, you don't have to go 
verbatim, but here's the first 

225
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,680
one. 
The effectiveness as a 

226
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:51,000
communicator will be the result 
of your heart. 

227
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,960
OK, when it comes down to it, 
really what you're going to be 

228
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,120
communicating is what's on the 
inside. 

229
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,320
Jesus told us that, all right, 
He said, you know our heart. 

230
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,440
And here's the thing we need to 
understand and we need to 

231
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,080
understand about the heart. 
You know, we see the heart in 

232
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,280
the Bible and we and, and, and 
very rarely does it point to the

233
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:15,160
pump or the organ in your chest 
that moves blood around. 

234
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,720
That's not what it's talking 
about. 

235
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,320
The heart has always been 
described, even though in the 

236
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,840
language it is talking about 
that cardia is the Greek word 

237
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,120
for heart and it is the Greek 
word for the heart that pumps 

238
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,480
blood. 
All right. 

239
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,680
But in Scripture, it has always 
been to the deep seated part of 

240
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:37,080
man on the inside and, and, and 
it controls things like thoughts

241
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,600
and emotions and desires, 
affections, purposes, endeavors.

242
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,280
All of those are the heart. 
OK. 

243
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,960
And so we've been warned about 
our heart because of things that

244
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,360
can happen now. 
Matthew chapter 12, jot this one

245
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,600
down 33 through 37. 
Listen to this. 

246
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,160
This is Jesus talking in the 
Scripture and he says either 

247
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,480
make the tree good and its fruit
good, or else to make the free, 

248
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,000
make the tree corrupt and its 
fruit corrupt, for the tree is 

249
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,400
known by its fruit. 
Now you know Pastor said, hadn't

250
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,320
he recently even he said I'm a 
fruit inspector. 

251
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,200
Now notice what it does not say.
Anytime you see the word fruit, 

252
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,520
it does not say you'll judge 
them by their fruits. 

253
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,240
The word says you will know them
by their fruits. 

254
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,520
You will have knowledge of what 
they're about by what they're 

255
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,880
saying. 
And he warns us in here. 

256
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,720
He says, now you are generations
of Vipers, how can you be evil? 

257
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,400
Speak good things. 
And he said, and out of the 

258
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,040
abundance of the heart, and we 
get this scripture, out of the 

259
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,280
abundance of the heart, the 
mouth will speak. 

260
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,520
And he goes on. 
He said, now good man out of the

261
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,760
good treasure, you need to 
underline that good treasure of 

262
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,000
the heart brings forth good 
things. 

263
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,120
The evil man out of the evil 
treasure brings forth evil 

264
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,600
things, Jesus said. 
But I say unto you that every 

265
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,520
idle word that men shall speak, 
they will give account thereof 

266
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,920
on the day of judgement. 
Now I'm going to, I'm going to 

267
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,480
break a couple of words down in 
here to give you an idea. 

268
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,080
One, I like the word idle. 
OK. 

269
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,960
The word idle basically means 
unemployed. 

270
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,080
OK, so in other words, Jesus 
saying the words that you say 

271
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,440
when they go out of your mouth 
ought to be putting something to

272
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,560
work He says in there. 
He said, you know it also. 

273
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:26,000
It also has the the meaning of 
uselessness and one that is just

274
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,720
lazy. 
OK, so you have words that are 

275
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,120
lazy, words that do not produce 
anything. 

276
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,840
He said beware of those. 
Do not be a partaker or do not 

277
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,560
be a speaker of those kind of 
words. 

278
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,480
Then he gets in there and he 
says, for by your words you're 

279
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,400
justified and by your words 
you're condemned. 

280
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,880
Now here's the questions that we
have to ask about the 

281
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,240
communication from our hearts. 
Here's the question, is your 

282
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,760
heart full of good treasure or 
evil treasure? 

283
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,240
Now he tells us real 
specifically. 

284
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,160
And I thought this interesting 
and being as my boy Brandon is 

285
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,840
here tonight, he won't remember 
this, but I tell this story 

286
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:07,240
often outside of his presence. 
But one day we were sitting 

287
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,600
upstairs. 
We were upstairs and he comes 

288
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,720
and he's holding this book. 
He goes, this is the dumbest 

289
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,160
name of a book I've ever seen. 
I said, what's the name of the 

290
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,400
book? 
And he said, thesaurus. 

291
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,480
And I go, well, that means you 
don't know what that means. 

292
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:32,040
That's a Greek word and it means
a collection or a a, a 

293
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,640
collection of precious and 
valuable things. 

294
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,160
A thesaurus. 
I know you don't remember it. 

295
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,160
I remember it like yesterday. 
OK, All right. 

296
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,880
And and I, I thought it was so 
funny because in the Greek, the 

297
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,040
word treasure is the word 
thesaurus. 

298
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,880
It means a place which are good 
precious things are collected 

299
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,040
and laid up. 
OK, now think about it. 

300
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,440
A thesaurus that he was holding 
in his hand was a collection of 

301
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,560
some things. 
And in matter of fact, it is the

302
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,560
only thing that we call a 
thesaurus. 

303
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:13,680
It was a collection of words, 
right? 

304
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,400
OK, so you, when you think about
it, that when Jesus talked 

305
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,360
about, Jesus talked about, he 
said thesaurus. 

306
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,920
He said, you know, it is a it is
a collection. 

307
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,960
It is something valuable, it's 
something precious, but it's a 

308
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,400
collection that is laid up. 
Now when we take a look at that,

309
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,280
he said, he said for the tree is
known by its fruit. 

310
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,440
OK, And we could say your heart 
is known by the fruit. 

311
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,880
And what did he say? 
He said out of the abundance of 

312
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,760
the heart, we're going to hear 
it out of your mouth. 

313
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,880
All right, so in Galatians 
Chapter 5, we find out what 

314
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,160
good, good fruit looks like, 
don't we? 

315
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,080
He said the fruit of the spirit 
is Lovejoy, peace, 

316
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,000
long-suffering, gentleness, 
goodness, faith, meekness, 

317
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,000
temperance. 
Against such there is no law. 

318
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,080
So he tells you that if you have
a good heart, the words that 

319
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,040
ought to be coming out of your 
mouth are going to be that set 

320
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,839
of words. 
All right, And they have songs 

321
00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:10,839
about it, you know, in our kids 
ministry and and everything like

322
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:12,599
that. 
But let's what about an evil 

323
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:16,160
heart? 
Listen to this Matthew chapter 

324
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,240
15 verses 18 and 19. 
All right, He said, but those 

325
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,359
things which proceed out of the 
mouth come from the heart and 

326
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,640
they defile a man. 
For out of the heart precedes 

327
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,880
evil thoughts, murders, 
adulteries, fornications, 

328
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,240
thefts, fault fault witnesses 
and blasphemies. 

329
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,960
Notice in there. 
He said, I, I looked at the two 

330
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,600
and I said, well, you know, as 
far as the word thefts, that 

331
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,440
there's a lot of people that I 
know in business that have been 

332
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:51,240
thieves with their words, such 
as tell you one thing and do 

333
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:56,760
something different or say this 
is the quote and then make up 

334
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,440
stuff to have the quote be 
higher than it was. 

335
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,120
Oh, well, we forgot about this. 
Oh, we didn't know about this. 

336
00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:06,320
Oh, we did. 
You got to be careful because it

337
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,400
it it looks like you're lying. 
You got to be careful of that. 

338
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,080
Know your stuff, all right, Know
what's on the inside. 

339
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,120
OK, now you know, here's another
way. 

340
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,560
And, and one thing that I I 
think that I could be as pastor 

341
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:26,040
said it don't be proud. 
Be pleased with yourself, All 

342
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:32,400
right, is that I have never had 
to communicate using profanity. 

343
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:41,960
OK, now I've had a lot of 
Christians use profanity on me. 

344
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,520
And then they would maybe 
apologize and call it French, 

345
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,160
Pardon my French, OK? 
And it's just a cuss word is 

346
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,880
what it is. 
And you know, I heard one time 

347
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,400
one guy said they said don't 
worry about it. 

348
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,760
If it wasn't in there, it 
wouldn't have come out. 

349
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:03,520
And I said, oh, man, you know, 
But I've never had to correct 

350
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,560
anybody, you know, I haven't had
to be harsh. 

351
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,640
I hadn't had to be critical or 
arrogant about them, all right? 

352
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,200
I just basically set them down 
and we're going to talk about 

353
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,720
this, You know, what you did 
wrong or what I'm doing wrong or

354
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,600
why were we not getting along 
all right? 

355
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,080
But you don't have to use 
profanity on it because to me 

356
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,280
that loses credibility if you 
can't communicate using the 

357
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,920
English language in its pure 
form. 

358
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,360
All right, then you know, I, I 
wouldn't call you a good 

359
00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:32,600
communicator. 
There's been a lot of public 

360
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,640
speakers that I have not 
listened to any longer because 

361
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,640
they just choose the word words 
of profanity, every other word, 

362
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,000
just whether they think they're 
cute, whether they're trying to 

363
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,920
make a point. 
You can do it without it. 

364
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,400
So you got to watch out what's 
what's on the inside. 

365
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:53,480
Now, here's one thing in 
communication that you can have 

366
00:19:53,480 --> 00:20:00,240
a reputation that when they see 
you, all right, they might have 

367
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,520
just two thoughts. 
That's it. 

368
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:09,760
When they see you coming, OK, 
One of pain and the other of 

369
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,560
pleasure. 
I prefer that when somebody sees

370
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,320
me, they're excited to visit 
with me, whatever I got. 

371
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,920
I mean, my reputation is one of 
a storyteller even among the 

372
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,560
littles, OK? 
But it's kind of funny because 

373
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,440
I've had people so excited for 
me to come into their office and

374
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,800
sit down. 
We going to talk about business 

375
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,000
that tell me what happened 
lately and I'll have something. 

376
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,360
I'll always have something. 
Oh, man, I was, you know, out 

377
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:41,640
here doing this and I did this 
and fell out of this and tripped

378
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,520
over this and and all kind of 
stuff. 

379
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,560
I mean, you know, not too long 
ago, Cassie, were you with me? 

380
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,520
I don't know anybody else in 
here with me when I went 

381
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:54,720
crashing over the the Dolly, you
know, and, and, and it was, it 

382
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,760
was horrific, man. 
I mean, and it was so funny. 

383
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,080
I'm on the phone. 
I'm talking to Thaddeus, right, 

384
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,360
about something we need to fix. 
Well, they had hung a drape in 

385
00:21:04,360 --> 00:21:08,200
the T-shirt shop, OK, in there. 
And I busted through that, not 

386
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,680
realizing that my grandchildren 
had taken a 2, you know, a 2 

387
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,400
Wheeler and pulled it out right 
behind that. 

388
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,600
So I didn't know. 
And I come through there and 

389
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:23,080
flipped over the top of that, 
held onto the phone, finish the 

390
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:28,160
phone call. 
I'm taking inventory 'cause I'm 

391
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,360
hurting. 
And I got a couple places that 

392
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:33,880
are ringing out louder than the 
other places. 1 was my elbow, 

393
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,400
right? 
And when everybody, you know, 

394
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,400
and the whole bit, I had the 
phone still in my hand, I called

395
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,040
Josh, Josh, come get me. 
I, I, I have fallen and I can't 

396
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,760
get up. 
And he comes in there and I got 

397
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,840
one leg up on the the cart 
itself. 

398
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,080
I got the other ones and I'm 
twisted all up and he goes, what

399
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,720
happened? 
I said, I ain't blaming nobody. 

400
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,640
I said just help me get up and 
get seated. 

401
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,520
OK. 
So he gets me out, brings me in 

402
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,880
one of those chairs right in 
front of your office, right, 

403
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,120
Right in front. 
And I'm sitting there. 

404
00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:09,320
I got this, I got this golf ball
growing out of my arm. 

405
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,680
You remember that and I mean, it
was big as a golf ball. 

406
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,480
I'm not as it not joking. 
I mean, I got a witness. 

407
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,800
She was looking at that. 
She's going, man, I'm going to 

408
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,920
try everything I can to help you
get over that. 

409
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,680
You know, I'm walking around 
looking like Popeye, you know, 

410
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,240
got that knot on my elbow. 
I had a skin on my I skipped my 

411
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,440
knee up, you know, because 
there's no carpet or nothing. 

412
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,640
It's concrete and I'm like, you 
know, and and you know, what is 

413
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,840
the deal about that? 
You tell that story and people 

414
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:41,600
start laughing and it wasn't 
that funny, but it is now. 

415
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,920
It's it's every accident I've 
ever had in my life. 

416
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,680
Because, you know, I've told you
about Melanie. 

417
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,000
That's how I found out how this 
relationships going to go. 

418
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,720
Randy's going to come near 
death, OK, in an accident. 

419
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,920
And she's going to laugh us all 
the way to the hospital 'cause I

420
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,880
did it one night. 
I hit my thumb with a hammer and

421
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,920
I look it up at her, 'cause 
she's sitting on the porch and 

422
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,040
I'm putting stairs down it and 
it and it's getting dark and I 

423
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,880
can't hardly see. 
And I hit that wrong nail. 

424
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,800
I just, I just dropped the 
hammer, grabbed it tight as I 

425
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,560
could. 
Blood's coming out everywhere. 

426
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,800
And she looks and just bust up 
laughing. 

427
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:20,400
And I just looked at her and 
fell over. 

428
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,280
And I'm laying there in the 
front yard. 

429
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,280
It's getting dark. 
I don't feel like moving every 

430
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:29,160
every inch of my body is trying 
to work a plan that I don't want

431
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,680
to participate in. 
Like get you got to get up, man.

432
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,280
You got to get up. 
I don't want to get up. 

433
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,080
I mean, until the pain stops, 
which pain ain't going to stop, 

434
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:39,400
right? 
And I'm bleeding over 

435
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,240
everything, you know, finally 
get in to see how bad it was 

436
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,480
bad, wrap it up, you know, the 
whole bit. 

437
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,480
But I mean, I don't, I can't 
tell you how many times I've 

438
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,280
hurt myself. 
And she just thinks it's the 

439
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,760
funniest thing. 
I just, I, I don't get that, 

440
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,320
man. 
I'm feeling sorry for people, 

441
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,560
you know, I'm trying to help 
them with the pain management 

442
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:58,680
and stuff. 
All right. 

443
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,200
So, you know, that's the thing 
that we, we want, we want to be,

444
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,160
is that when people see us 
coming, that we have something 

445
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,000
that we know we're going to talk
about, something that we're 

446
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,400
going to discuss that, you know,
and, and, and because you're a 

447
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,960
pleasant person, the inside 
portrays how you're going to 

448
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,680
talk, how you talk to your 
customers. 

449
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,800
How do you talk to your vendors?
How do you talk to them? 

450
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,440
How you, are you having a good 
day? 

451
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,360
You know, asking them. 
Those are important. 

452
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:25,720
Let me give you consideration #2
all right, that we will 

453
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:31,240
accomplish most of our 
expectations if we're consistent

454
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,000
with our communication. 
All right, now that you know, 

455
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,000
consistent, listen to this. 
If you want to be consistent, 

456
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,720
you need to be agreeing. 
You need to be compatible, not 

457
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,720
self contradictory. 
That was my favorite definition.

458
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,360
All right, constantly adhering 
to the same principles, holding 

459
00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:49,200
firmly together. 
Let me read them again. 

460
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,280
If you want to be a consistent 
communicator, you've got to be 

461
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,120
agreeing, OK? 
You've got to be agreeing with 

462
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:59,040
yourself mostly, all right, 
compatible, not self 

463
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,360
contradictory, constantly 
adhering to the same principles,

464
00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:04,360
holding the holding firmly 
together. 

465
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,600
You know, when you're monitoring
expectations and, and you see, 

466
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,760
you know, someone taking a 
variation of what you've been 

467
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,600
talking about, you know, you 
need to, you need to ask them a 

468
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,840
question. 
And usually what this question 

469
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,840
will be is that, you know, you 
ask them, OK, why did we do 

470
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,680
this, this way? 
OK, you, you want to know what 

471
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,080
is it that I didn't communicate?
What is it that we're going to 

472
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,480
do? 
And I, and I, and when I have 

473
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,440
some of the young people working
for me, whether it's in the, in 

474
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,280
the, the T-shirt shop or 
whatever the case may be, I'll 

475
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,840
give you another illustration 
from communication. 

476
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,680
I mean, I, I showed one, one of 
our little team members how we 

477
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,080
do certain things, burning a 
screen, getting it ready to go 

478
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,440
to print and the different 
things like that. 

479
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,160
Got it ready to go. 
And I'm sitting there, you know,

480
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,160
doing some calculations on some 
of the shirts and all the stuff 

481
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,240
that we've got to have. 
And I thought it was interesting

482
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,560
is that she came in and she 
said, listen, she said, you 

483
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,760
know, that film positive, that 
thing that had that we're 

484
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,800
supposed to be shooting it is, 
is like rising up off of the 

485
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,800
table. 
And I go, what? 

486
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,400
I mean, I can't even picture 
this. 

487
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,160
She goes, I don't know. 
It's it's it's rising up off of 

488
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,120
the table. 
And I'm thinking, I've never 

489
00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:16,280
seen anything like this. 
And I go in there and she had 

490
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:21,080
forgotten to put the plate glass
on top of it to hold it down. 

491
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:27,240
And the heat was making it turn 
into a piece of bacon and no big

492
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,120
deal. 
I mean, it's the first time it 

493
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:31,520
ever happened. 
I call it an incident, not a 

494
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:36,320
problem, all right, and we got a
little incident, OK, So hey, 

495
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,640
let's let's let's remember, 
let's put the glass on top of 

496
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,200
it. 
It'll protect it, the piece of 

497
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,600
plastic and the whole bit. 
You'll be fine, OK. 

498
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:49,600
And so about 1520 minutes later 
comes in, said it's doing it 

499
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:55,760
again, OK, So when you hear 
somebody, somebody, somebody, 

500
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:01,480
somebody say it's happening 
again, it is just turned from an

501
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:06,400
incident to a problem. 
We got a problem, OK? 

502
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,720
So I went back there and this 
was a time for communication, 

503
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,880
all right, and continuous 
communication. 

504
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:22,200
But I asked them, I said, tell 
me what can we do to make sure 

505
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,000
this never happens again? 
What do we need to do? 

506
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,120
Give me some ideas. 
Now be young. 

507
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,920
To be young and inexperienced 
means that you really haven't 

508
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,840
used your mind a whole lot. 
You might have used it in school

509
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,280
'cause we got a test coming, 
right? 

510
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,040
But real life, everyday 
problems, all right? 

511
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:50,080
I found it very difficult for 
their age group, which was, you 

512
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,080
know, mid high school to come up
with a solution. 

513
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,840
I say, come on, give me 
something, communicate, talk to 

514
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,920
me. 
I I just don't know. 

515
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:08,240
And I said, you mean to tell me 
you can't tell me one thing that

516
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,440
you could do that would remind 
you never to forget the glass. 

517
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,440
No, I don't have anything. 
I don't have anything. 

518
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:24,920
And I said, go get me a Sharpie.
I took that Sharpie and right 

519
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,560
there there's a beam, wooden 
beam where the place that they 

520
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,840
set all this and to the hot 
lamps that basically metal 

521
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,640
highlight shop shop lamps. 
OK, that's what's cooking 

522
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,560
everything, right? 
And I wrote on that wooden beam,

523
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:45,440
do not forget glass exclamation 
point. 

524
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,160
I said, will that help you? 
I mean, it's like the last thing

525
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,000
you see before you turn that 
light switch on. 

526
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,120
They go, that's a really good 
idea. 

527
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,240
Well, the sad part was they 
didn't come up with it all 

528
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,760
right, because if you here's the
thing about it, if you come up 

529
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:05,160
with an idea to solve a problem,
you own it and and and I don't 

530
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,920
expect anything different out of
you from here on. 

531
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,320
Now have they ever done it 
again? 

532
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,480
No, but the next person in line 
did it. 

533
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,480
I'm thinking, how do you guys 
come up with this? 

534
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,960
All right, so when we, when we 
talk about, you know, as far as 

535
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,280
being consistent, the the main 
thing that you'll hear when you 

536
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,400
have to go, you know, say why 
did this happen? 

537
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,080
What happened? 
What did we do? 

538
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:30,640
You're going to hear 2 words 
basically I forgot, OK? 

539
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:36,080
Those are the the most common 
Get Me Out of trouble words on 

540
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,960
the planet is that if you mess 
up something, all you have to do

541
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,560
is say, man, I'm sorry, I 
forgot. 

542
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,480
All right, now let me give you 
some things to help you with the

543
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:50,320
I forgot people, OK, All right, 
you got a meeting, you got a 

544
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,920
project, you got something. 
Number one, is this all right? 

545
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:58,160
Have everything that is going to
be discussed in writing ready to

546
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,720
hand it out. 
We're going to make some 

547
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,120
changes. 
I I'm not sure we're going to do

548
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,600
it before the end of the year, 
but definitely after the first 

549
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,160
of the year is I want to go 
start doing handouts that you 

550
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,000
can fill in the blank with me. 
OK, because you'll remember it a

551
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,080
lot better. 
OK, because not everybody's the 

552
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,400
greatest, you know, note taker 
in in the whole world. 

553
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,160
I understand that. 
All right, so I'm going to give 

554
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,160
you something to take notes on. 
Now, you know, some of you may 

555
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,440
have your only one guy. 
Anybody got a computer on them 

556
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:25,600
tonight? 
Are you using your phone? 

557
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:26,800
OK, and you're using the 
computer. 

558
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,680
You guys are using your phones 
and that's great. 

559
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,480
But I'm going to give you paper 
because we're going back to 

560
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,760
paper, you understand. 
All right, OK. 

561
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,520
All right, so think about this. 
It said that, you know, you 

562
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,000
furnish an outline agenda, make 
sure there's enough space, you 

563
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,560
know, on that. 
If you're having a meeting with 

564
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,400
somebody, make sure there's 
enough space they can take 

565
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,480
notes, they'll cram everything 
together. 

566
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,080
Just make it big enough that 
they can jot a note because 

567
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,240
there may be same thing. 
Jot this down. 

568
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:50,680
I say it all the time when I'm 
teaching. 

569
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,960
Jot this down, write this down. 
All right. 

570
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,920
And, and you want to, you know, 
make sure that they they 

571
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,320
understand you are treating this
piece of paper like a contract. 

572
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,920
There's things I'm going to do 
and there's things you're going 

573
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,880
to do I need from you. 
All right, Treat it like a 

574
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,760
contract. 
You know, I remember when we 

575
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,440
were interesting with the boys 
and they're getting too big to 

576
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,280
spank, OK. 
And we were trying to figure out

577
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,360
in our own way without having to
go to a psychologist and try to 

578
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,200
figure out how to discipline 
these two because they were 

579
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,560
always trying to kill each 
other, but they wouldn't let 

580
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,040
nobody else do it, OK? 
I mean, they cats and dogs all 

581
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,560
day. 
But if one of them got in a 

582
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,400
scruffy with somebody, you know,
in the youth group or whatever 

583
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,880
the case may be, man, it's like,
oh, you're going to have to take

584
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,720
us both, you know, and, and just
defend each other. 

585
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,280
I mean, biting and clawing and 
whatever. 

586
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,840
And so when you, when you take a
look at, at, you know, the, the 

587
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,640
importance of discipline, you 
know, when they get to certain 

588
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,720
ages, we, we did a contract with
them, OK. 

589
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,720
And, and in the early years, as 
they were getting older, we had 

590
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,200
a contract that said, talking 
back to your mother is five 

591
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,760
swats, man. 
So go ahead and give it a shot 

592
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,600
and see if it doesn't come to 
pass. 

593
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,560
And we had everything, 
everything that law they could 

594
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,960
break had a penalty, OK. 
Then they get into their 

595
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,120
teenage, we're driving years, 
right? 

596
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,120
What something becomes more 
important than anything else on 

597
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:22,800
the planet is car keys and cash.
OK, So we had another contract, 

598
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,600
OK. 
And the contract was you violate

599
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,600
this, you come in late, you talk
back to your Mama. 

600
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,000
What, 5 bucks? 
10 bucks, whatever. 

601
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,560
Now Josh went broke in one fell 
swoop. 

602
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,240
All right? 
Wait. 

603
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,440
Totally broke, no money could do
nothing. 

604
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,240
I said man, I said I'm just 
training you for what happens in

605
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,720
the future. 
I said beside and I ain't even 

606
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,920
arrested you. 
I ain't even locked you up. 

607
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,160
But when you go to court, 
there's only one thing you're 

608
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,560
going to be locked up and or pay
a fine and if they can get the 

609
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,680
money out of you. 
So just get used to it. 

610
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,480
This is how it goes from here on
for you. 

611
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:04,400
All right? 
So, you know, I told him, I 

612
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,160
said, listen, you know, I want 
you to know that to hang on to 

613
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,680
the papers, OK? 
Why? 

614
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,600
Because we may have some 
amendments. 

615
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,240
I mean, you know, we don't go 
into everything. 

616
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,240
I know it all. 
We're going to do it this way. 

617
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,040
Nothing else is going to change.
That ain't true. 

618
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,360
You may have to add you staple 
something to it, right? 

619
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,080
All right. 
Now, I, I learned this quote. 

620
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,360
Listen to this. 
Write this quote down. 

621
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:26,280
This is going to be good for 
you. 

622
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,120
All right? 
Pale ink is better than the most

623
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,720
retentive memory. 
That's why we ought to write 

624
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,480
stuff down. 
Pale ink is better than the most

625
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,280
retentive memory. 
That was by a literary mentor by

626
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:45,320
named Harvey McKay, and I 
learned that from him. 

627
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,080
I thought, man, that that's got 
to be truth. 

628
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,040
Even the dull pencil is better 
than the best memory. 

629
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,240
All right, but he said pale ink.
All right. 

630
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,160
Now here's the second thing that
that we can do on this 

631
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,160
particular particular 
consideration, All right. 

632
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,400
He says make sure that you have 
the thought process, you know, 

633
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,200
processes out completely before 
starting to communicate them. 

634
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,880
You want to make sure that 
you've thought it all out from 

635
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,600
beginning. 
Then what could go wrong? 

636
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,520
What could happen? 
What if they do this? 

637
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,320
What if they do that? 
Because you're going to start 

638
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,480
communicating how you want to 
see something done. 

639
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,239
Now I think it's interesting 
because nothing. 

640
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,080
And you remember when I said a 
minute ago in your communication

641
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,560
you need to be. 
And I and I had that one little 

642
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:31,280
phrase and it was in there not 
self contradictory. 

643
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,280
OK. 
One thing that is the 

644
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:39,880
demotivator of all mankind is 
somebody saying this is how 

645
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,800
we're going to do it and don't 
know what they're talking about.

646
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,520
You want to demote, you know, 
demotivate. 

647
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,800
OK, people, go ahead and just 
cut, throw these plans out off 

648
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,280
of your hip and see how well it 
gets done. 

649
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,679
You want to make sure you've got
everything thought through. 

650
00:34:56,679 --> 00:34:58,480
You don't want to demotivate 
people. 

651
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,520
You want to inspire people to 
get to the the team goal. 

652
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,720
All right, so he said, you know,
one of the things I said, if I 

653
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:08,200
hear someone say this and you've
heard it all said, we need to 

654
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:12,280
all get on the same page. 
Yeah, we do. 

655
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,800
And the reason that they're 
saying that is somebody hadn't 

656
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,200
explained the page. 
And so you've let them try to 

657
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,160
determine whatever it is on 
their own. 

658
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,960
And you're thinking, no, I just,
you know, I don't want to, I 

659
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,800
don't want to be able to be 
somebody that communicates like 

660
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:28,840
that. 
I want it. 

661
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,160
I want it to be that we're all 
on the same page. 

662
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,160
We all have the same page. 
We don't have cartoons drawn on 

663
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:36,680
the page. 
All right? 

664
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,400
We want to make sure we've got 
the accurate data that we want 

665
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,160
to have. 
OK, here's the third thing is 

666
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,440
understanding this, OK, And, and
I learned this and, and one time

667
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:52,080
completely blew my mind. 
Flexibility, OK, is a key to the

668
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:56,600
success of in, in any endeavor. 
OK, flexibility is the key to 

669
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,600
the success of any endeavor. 
All right, you've got to be 

670
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,960
flexible because sometimes 
things don't work out like 

671
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:08,480
you've exactly planned. 
All right, throw in a fit, you 

672
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,880
know, pulling on stuff on the 
inside that haven't, having a 

673
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,760
custom fit, having whatever 
should never come out of us as 

674
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:21,120
Kingdom citizens ever, OK? 
I mean, I had it when I was 

675
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,240
early in my screen printing 
commercial career. 

676
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:29,560
Had a guy that played at the, 
the station KXOJ everyday KCFO. 

677
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,640
These were Christian stations 
and he played them all the time.

678
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,720
OK. 
One day, you know, we were, we 

679
00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:38,520
were working and he's been 
witnessing to the boss's son, 

680
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,880
you know, trying to tell him, 
hey, you know, you need to 

681
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,920
believe in Jesus. 
You need to, you know, I said I 

682
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,360
agree. 
I mean, you know, I'm a, I'm a 

683
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,280
believer. 
I'm, I'm going to church and, 

684
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,360
and I have my whole life, I've 
never had a time in my life 

685
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,080
where I wasn't going to church. 
I didn't think it was an option.

686
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,800
I considered it as part of my 
duty as a Christian to be 

687
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,520
involved in a church. 
And I was. 

688
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,880
And so, you know, everybody in 
the place knew it. 

689
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,720
And and then one day this guy 
that, you know, preached it real

690
00:37:05,720 --> 00:37:10,440
loud and put on a radio real 
loud, you know, messed up 

691
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,640
something and went into a 
cussing fit. 

692
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:20,200
And I just felt like somebody 
gave me a black eye, you know, 

693
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,800
I'm thinking, oh, great, now 
this is going to be a hard one 

694
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,960
to explain. 
And sure enough, I had to 

695
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,600
explain it because the boss's 
son says, now look at there, 

696
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:29,920
that's why I don't want to be a 
Christian man. 

697
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,800
He said, you know, he talks 
about this and all this and he 

698
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,280
made his life better and stuff. 
And he acts like everybody else 

699
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,720
when something goes wrong. 
I said, I'm sorry about that. 

700
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,880
I said, because that is not the 
way that we as Christians are 

701
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,400
supposed to respond after we 
make a mistake or after 

702
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:48,880
something doesn't go the way we 
plan. 

703
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,040
You got to be flexible. 
I mean, we, we need to be the 

704
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,120
most flexible people. 
And if we're not, guess what 

705
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,400
happens? 
If you get something, you're 

706
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,520
trying to flex it, and they 
don't want to flex, it's going 

707
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,960
to snap. 
That's what he did that day. 

708
00:37:59,960 --> 00:38:03,520
He snapped and just spewed all 
kind of filth all over the 

709
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,680
house. 
And I'm thinking, man, come on, 

710
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:07,680
give me a break. 
All right? 

711
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,320
You know, I said, we got enough 
problems as it is. 

712
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,720
We don't need to be covering for
you now, right? 

713
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,280
And so, you know, every plan of 
pursuit that we have, it's not 

714
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,680
going to be perfect. 
You know, most of us, you know, 

715
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,360
we have the, we don't have the 
ability, we don't have the 

716
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,560
ability to see into the future 
of every little thing, 

717
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,920
especially when you have people 
around you that you're trying to

718
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,960
bring in on the same project. 
Everybody's going to come from a

719
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,720
different background. 
Everybody may have their own 

720
00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:31,640
opinion and you know, different 
things. 

721
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,440
Now, I think it's interesting 
because, you know, I've had 

722
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,680
times where I said listen and, 
and I've got my my team together

723
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,600
in Oklahoma and I said, this is 
how we do this. 

724
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:48,760
OK. 
And I am open to ideas. 

725
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,840
If you have a better way to do 
it that will save us time or 

726
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:57,280
money, come see me immediately. 
I may give you an opportunity to

727
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:01,560
give it a shot, but know this, 
if it doesn't work, we're going 

728
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:06,040
back to the way we've done it. 
OK, Always be flexible about 

729
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,040
that. 
I remember one time we'd flown 

730
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:12,680
back to Oklahoma and these guys 
were printing what we call right

731
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,000
of way markers and their 
pipeline companies that have 

732
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:20,000
warning pipeline and they have a
for emergency call number on it 

733
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,640
has a logo on it has a do not 
dig logo. 

734
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,360
You know what a do not dig is, 
you know, has a shovel and all 

735
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,640
that 811 and all that stuff. 
And, and we were printing them 

736
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,080
and they were like 3 different 
colors. 

737
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:31,760
They had the logo of the 
company, the whole bit. 

738
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,200
Well, usually we'd make a screen
for each color. 

739
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,320
We'd have to line it up, get it 
all going and I'm back there 

740
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,680
and, and I'm watching them print
them and I go, wait a second, 

741
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,720
where's the other screens? 
They said, oh, we don't, we, we 

742
00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:45,520
don't do three color screens on 
this one. 

743
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:50,000
We can actually paint out the 
image that we don't want to 

744
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:54,480
print with this stuff and it 
dries and it prints. 

745
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,120
And then we can take water and 
wash it all out and we keep the 

746
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,640
same screen and we just wash out
and we just paint out the other 

747
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,840
section. 
I looked at that dude and I 

748
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:09,200
said, you are a genius. 
I said, man, I would have never 

749
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,920
thought of that in a million 
years because why? 

750
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:18,040
I was always stuck in the way we
always did it and and the way we

751
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:22,680
always did it always worked. 
So some people aren't, you know,

752
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,960
wanting to, when they have a, 
you know, a team they're trying 

753
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,240
to create or whatever the case 
may be, is being flexible enough

754
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:33,160
to let somebody, you know, come 
in and, and, and, and suggest 

755
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,000
something or try something. 
Because guess what? 

756
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,840
If you come up with the idea, 
you own it. 

757
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,280
So I didn't have to, I didn't 
have to beg him to do it 

758
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,520
anymore. 
That was his that was his idea 

759
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,280
gave them, you know, big, big 
applause, everybody you know, 

760
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,240
and you know going from there. 
But here's the thing I'm glad of

761
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:52,880
second Timothy. 
Jot this one down. 

762
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,880
Second Timothy chapter 3 verse 
16. 

763
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,040
You know the Scripture well, he 
said all Scripture is given by 

764
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,400
inspiration of God and is 
profitable for doctrine, for 

765
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,560
reproof, correction for 
instruction in righteous living.

766
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,600
Here's the thing about the word 
Scripture. 

767
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,800
It's it. 
The Greek word is the word 

768
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:16,000
graffe and the definition means 
document. 

769
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,720
It does not have anything deity 
related to the word. 

770
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,840
It is just the simple Greek word
for a document. 

771
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:30,880
Now notice this document lets us
know what's available in it. 

772
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:35,280
It tells us that we can we can 
use it and be profitable for 

773
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,880
doctrine. 
We can reprove or we can 

774
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:38,800
correct. 
But I love it. 

775
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,480
Instruction in righteous living 
is in this document. 

776
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,280
If you want everybody on the 
same page, use that document. 

777
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,560
You know what I'm glad about? 
I'm glad that God didn't think 

778
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,280
you know what I'm going to tell 
him one time and they better get

779
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,640
it. 
No, He moved on men, to record 

780
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:01,360
it for us for thousands of years
so there'd be no variation or 

781
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,920
deviation from the original 
plan. 

782
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,800
He let us know how everything 
went down in the garden. 

783
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,200
He let us know how he got 
everything headed back the right

784
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,000
direction. 
Let us know about all of our 

785
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,800
patriarchs and matriarchs and, 
and how you know they were all 

786
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,360
precursors and getting ready for
the king to come back to buy it 

787
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:23,320
all back for us and buy us back.
I'm glad that he had it, the 

788
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:28,080
plan and the outcome written 
down. 

789
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,760
Amen. 
All right, consideration #3 all 

790
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:37,600
right, jot this down. 
There is not one of us that is 

791
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:44,160
as good as all of us, all right,
When we're trying to communicate

792
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,800
our team, we need to realize 
this. 

793
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:52,160
We have two ears and one mouth 
and that we need to be 

794
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,720
listening, OK. 
I, I think that listening to 

795
00:42:55,720 --> 00:42:59,720
others is a key of achieving, 
achieving any desired goal. 

796
00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:02,600
We have just listening to 
others, you know, and making 

797
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:06,600
sure that, that we give the 
people the chance and, and, and,

798
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,120
and and and making sure that 
they understand. 

799
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,320
We, we heard what they said. 
Some people are just want an 

800
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:16,640
opportunity to be heard, OK? 
They want somebody that cares 

801
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,400
enough to sit down and listen. 
You know, I've jokingly told 

802
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,240
people before, you know, I said 
be careful when you come up to 

803
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:25,440
somebody at church and say how 
you doing unless you got time to

804
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:31,920
really hear it, OK, You know, 
because you know, they they can 

805
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,600
lay it all on you. 
And I've had it, I've done it. 

806
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,680
I would not follow my own 
advice. 

807
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,560
How you doing? 
Oh man, and go on. 

808
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,720
Here we go. 
And I'm not leaving them until 

809
00:43:41,720 --> 00:43:43,440
they're done. 
I mean, you know, and if I need 

810
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,520
to get with them, I say, you 
know what you need to go see or 

811
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,440
we need to get together and we 
can, we can work this out and 

812
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,480
see if we have any challenges 
that we could work out, you 

813
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,440
know, in there. 
And the, and The thing is, is 

814
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:54,920
using everybody in the body of 
Christ. 

815
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,880
What am I looking for? 
I'm looking for somebody in my 

816
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,200
mind that has gone through what 
they're going through that I can

817
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,240
get them with. 
Now, if you failed in what you 

818
00:44:02,240 --> 00:44:05,800
were going through, I'm not 
going to put them with you, OK, 

819
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,600
I'm going to put them with 
somebody that been there and did

820
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,480
it and made it and it was good. 
All right, That's what you want.

821
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,680
That's like going to, you know, 
a a divorce counselor that's 

822
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:18,040
been divorced full time. 
Well, you know, I'm sure that 

823
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:22,280
you might have some advice on 
maybe not what to do or what not

824
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,560
to do, all right, But I don't 
know that I would put my entire 

825
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,040
life into their hands. 
OK, so it's, it's the same thing

826
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,520
as that. 
We've got to we've got to depend

827
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,040
on each other. 
Another scripture, Proverbs 

828
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:39,400
11/14, you know, and throughout 
Scripture it it it bears out 

829
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,040
1114 says where no counsel is 
the people fall, they fail. 

830
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,920
OK, he said. 
But at a multitude of 

831
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,520
counselors, there's safety. 
You know, the importance of each

832
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,160
other. 
You know, also comes first 

833
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,520
Corinthians chapter 12. 
Write it down. 

834
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,920
First Corinthians chapter 12. 
All right. 

835
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,800
And in verse 20, he said, but 
now there are many members. 

836
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:06,520
You can say team members, but 
only one body or one team, you 

837
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:07,960
said. 
And whether they're one team 

838
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,080
member suffer, all team members 
suffer with it. 

839
00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:13,920
If one member be honored, then 
all team members rejoice with 

840
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,760
it. 
Now you are the body of Christ 

841
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,320
and a team member in particular.
I added the team. 

842
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,680
OK, All right. 
He lets us know how important we

843
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,360
are to each other, that not one 
of us as good as all of us, all 

844
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,520
right, because of experience and
opportunity and the things that 

845
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,760
we want to accomplish. 
You know, we just got to find 

846
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,800
those people that have that same
desire, the drive. 

847
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,800
They don't want to just sit 
around and watch the world go 

848
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,120
by. 
They want to be part of making 

849
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,360
the world OK. 
And so when we we talk about 

850
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,920
that, I love that whole passage 
because it even talks about 

851
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,840
weaker members, that there's 
some weak members that come in 

852
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,280
and they looking around and they
see all these people that 

853
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,200
supposedly look like they have 
it all together. 

854
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,840
And they say we won't make it. 
And we grab hold of them and we 

855
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,320
make them part of our team. 
We make them part of what's 

856
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:02,280
going on and we help them grow 
to their level instead of, you 

857
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:06,440
know, saying, aye, no, you know,
too bad, you know, And they look

858
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:07,440
at it. 
They look at people. 

859
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,520
And he said, no. 
He said Jesus took those people 

860
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,440
in and welded them to us, is 
what the Bible says. 

861
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,240
They're welded to us just like 
your little toe. 

862
00:46:17,240 --> 00:46:19,280
You don't want to function 
without your little toe. 

863
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:23,080
In fact, you don't want to 
injure your little toe, which 

864
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,000
I've done many times, always at 
the foot of the bed. 

865
00:46:26,720 --> 00:46:28,600
You know, I mean, I don't know 
what the deal is. 

866
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:30,440
You don't want to mess up with 
your foot. 

867
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,800
You don't want to, you know, 
accidentally step on a bunch of 

868
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,120
Legos in the middle of the 
night. 

869
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,120
He'll wake everybody up, you 
know, serious. 

870
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:42,360
I mean, you know, Yeah, little, 
I don't know if you remember, 

871
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,920
the ones that got me the most, 
the embedded in my foot were 

872
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:50,720
called micro machines, OK. 
I mean, you can run one of them 

873
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:53,680
up Plumb to your neck, stepping 
on it. 

874
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,720
It just like leaving them 
around, you know? 

875
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:58,720
And I'm thinking, no, your body 
knows. 

876
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,040
And and when it said when one 
member suffer, we all suffer. 

877
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:06,000
It's just like a team. 
I mean, you know, Kansas City 

878
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:12,280
lost the Super Bowl, right? 
Everybody was sad on that team. 

879
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,600
They I mean, think about it. 
We all suffered all together, 

880
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,080
every one of us, you know, and 
that's the thing he said, have 

881
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,720
the same care one for another, 
you know, don't be so concerned.

882
00:47:22,720 --> 00:47:23,880
Paul talks about it all the 
time. 

883
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,280
Don't be so concerned about what
you got going on, you know, 

884
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,880
because we're going to talk 
about that in the future is and,

885
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,480
and, and we're going over some 
lessons on your why. 

886
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:38,200
Why are you in business? 
You know, the why shouldn't be 

887
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,880
for you. 
The why is for the same reason 

888
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:45,040
God's in business people. 
I mean, if money was such a big 

889
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:46,680
deal, we'd get to take it with 
us. 

890
00:47:47,240 --> 00:47:48,840
But guess what? 
We don't. 

891
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,640
There's only one thing we can 
take with us. 

892
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,320
It's each other and how many 
others God wants in the Kingdom 

893
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,760
that we've got to be ready for. 
OK, let me give you 

894
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:02,280
consideration #4 we'll wrap it 
up tonight, all right? 

895
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:08,280
Poor communication usually will 
result in misalignment of team 

896
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,240
goals. 
Poor communication will usually 

897
00:48:11,240 --> 00:48:13,440
result in a misalignment of team
goals. 

898
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,280
You'll have things shooting off 
over here and over here and over

899
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:20,840
here, you know, says. 
And, and here's the thing that's

900
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:24,680
very important, all right? 
Is everybody on your team, 

901
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,720
everybody you're dealing with 
OK? 

902
00:48:28,240 --> 00:48:30,440
They need to. 
If you're the head, if you're 

903
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:35,480
the leader, they need to be 
speaking like you speak. 

904
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:41,880
We don't have no rogue speakers.
You need to through these 

905
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,400
meetings and I'm talking about 
giving them papers and you're 

906
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:48,000
going to have to, you know, say,
listen, you're communicating. 

907
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:52,040
And this is what we want 
communicated to vendors, to 

908
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:56,040
whoever it is we're talking to. 
We want you to communicate like 

909
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,280
this and make it very clear 
right now. 

910
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:02,080
I think it's interesting because
I had an example on this one. 

911
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:08,200
Somebody very close to us was in
line getting something to eat. 

912
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,320
And I guess it was the woman in 
front of her. 

913
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,480
She said, got up to the counter 
and said, yeah, I'd like to 

914
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,600
order this, this and this. 
And the lady just kind of 

915
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,600
snapped at her youngster, 
snapped at her and says it is 

916
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,800
not, it is breakfast time now. 
It is not lunch time. 

917
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:30,160
And the woman said, well, I come
in here every day at this time 

918
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:34,280
and it's never been a problem to
make. 

919
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,520
And it was salad or something. 
And then she goes, I'm sorry, 

920
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:38,800
you're just going to have to 
come back. 

921
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:47,720
A woman left. 
I wonder if she's going to come 

922
00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:52,320
back or not. 
I wonder if that was the last 

923
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:58,960
straw on the camel's back. 
Now, if I'd have been in line, I

924
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,880
would have called the owner 
because I know him personally. 

925
00:50:03,240 --> 00:50:04,600
And I'll just ask him the 
question. 

926
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:09,640
I said, hey, I saw this at your 
store and I just wondered, is 

927
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:13,040
this the way you want your 
people to talk to your 

928
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:17,800
customers, OK. 
Because apparently somebody went

929
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,760
rogue and decided that they were
going to tell them whatever it 

930
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,400
is that they needed to. 
But I don't think that being as 

931
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,360
I know him that he would want 
that, you know what I'm saying? 

932
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,480
So you have to be real careful. 
And I am going to do a lesson 

933
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:34,440
eventually on talking about, you
know, handling problem people. 

934
00:50:35,240 --> 00:50:37,320
OK, people that, you know, 
customers. 

935
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,560
I got 1 illustration left for 
that for tonight and I'll give 

936
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,440
it to you. 
But you know, The thing is that,

937
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:48,360
you know, we have if AI get a 
photo, if I get a, a note or I 

938
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,080
get a phone call, even living 
down here and somebody says 

939
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,280
we're, we've got a situation we 
think you need to handle. 

940
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:59,360
All right, I immediately know 
they have done everything they 

941
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:06,120
know that I would have done and 
I had this one customer and they

942
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:11,800
were reaming my help up and down
over a little order, a little 

943
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:15,120
order. 
We met, we were, we manufactured

944
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:18,080
decals for American Airlines, 
OK. 

945
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:24,120
They made air, air travel cases,
real high dollar vacuum formed 

946
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,680
and everything and they had to 
have this sticker on it. 

947
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:32,160
This company sold about 100 of 
those a year is all all right 

948
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:37,720
and we've provided the sticker. 
Well, we printed the wrong 

949
00:51:37,720 --> 00:51:45,840
sticker, 100 a year. 
It was just 100 stickers fit in 

950
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:58,960
a glad snack bag in your hand. 
And they they said you might 

951
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,200
need to call her. 
She is irate. 

952
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:04,600
We've never dealt with anybody. 
I said over that little sticker.

953
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:06,280
Did you tell her that you'd do 
them again? 

954
00:52:07,240 --> 00:52:10,800
And she said, yeah, we tried to 
and and she just, I don't 

955
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:12,680
understand how you can let 
something like this happen. 

956
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,560
I don't even believe. 
What are you guys doing down 

957
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,560
there? 
I said, OK, I'm coming back to 

958
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,640
the office. 
I need you to print 200 of them 

959
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:24,720
stickers, get them ready for me 
because it wouldn't take a 

960
00:52:24,720 --> 00:52:28,000
second. 
They printed them, gave me the 

961
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,200
bag. 
I went over to the place. 

962
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:36,680
I walked in the front door and 
she started in on me and I just 

963
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,720
let her go. 
Just come on, let me have it. 

964
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,520
Every bit of it. 
You hate my guts. 

965
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:42,600
I know. 
Let's go. 

966
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:49,440
Finally wore out. 
Standing there, like what are 

967
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,040
you going to say? 
Like I'm going to get in a fist 

968
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:53,800
fight with you, lady. 
I'm not going to get in a fist 

969
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:58,320
fight. 
I said, I can't ask you enough 

970
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:03,480
to forgive us for this mistake. 
I have in my hand the correct 

971
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,800
stickers, not just 100, but I 
have 200 of them. 

972
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:10,760
And I said, and I wish you'd do 
me a favor. 

973
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:16,080
And she said, what is that? 
I said well the next time that 

974
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:20,600
you all have an HR meeting to 
hire people and you find 

975
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:24,440
somebody that on their 
application you write the word 

976
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:30,480
perfect and you can't hire them,
send them to me because I tell 

977
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:34,120
you what, I don't have one 
perfect person in my company. 

978
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,880
But boy, they sure try. 
She couldn't say nothing. 

979
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,160
She said as a matter of fact, 
I'll never forget what she said.

980
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:45,440
As a matter of fact, we don't 
have any perfect people. 

981
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:49,840
Here I go, OK, so will you 
accept our apology? 

982
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,160
Yes, I'll accept it. 
Gave her the stickers. 

983
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:56,000
Now there was a plan in 200 
stickers instead of 100 that I 

984
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,360
wouldn't have to come and see 
your face for another year. 

985
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,360
There's always a plan, all 
right. 

986
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,760
But you know, the Bible's true. 
It said a soft answer turns 

987
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,680
away, right. 
So I could have got up in her 

988
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,680
face. 
And, you know, I, I could have, 

989
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,160
I I could have said, well, you 
know, I've never seen nobody an 

990
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:20,240
adult body whine and carry on 
like you're, you know, I could 

991
00:54:20,240 --> 00:54:22,240
have gone on, man. 
I could have just let her have 

992
00:54:22,240 --> 00:54:24,560
it all. 
But that's not what I wanted to 

993
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:25,920
do. 
I wanted to make. 

994
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,560
We made the mistake. 
I went up to it. 

995
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:29,880
It's OK. 
I'm here. 

996
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,560
I've got more than what you. 
I want you to be glad we made it

997
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,840
because now you don't have to 
pay for 100 of them for a whole 

998
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:38,760
year. 
It's good, right? 

999
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,600
You know, but The thing is, it's
in communication. 

1000
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:43,960
It's how we carry ourselves. 
What's on the inside? 

1001
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,600
You nasty? 
You mean you want to be mean, 

1002
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:47,800
like Pastor, you want a piece of
me? 

1003
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,960
No, I mean, I don't personally. 
OK. 

1004
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,040
All right. 
So, you know, when you talk 

1005
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,240
about you, you, you discuss 
those things. 

1006
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:00,880
I just, I want to remind you as 
we close that, you know, 

1007
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,920
comprehension. 
Comprehension is what we're 

1008
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:04,800
looking for. 
You know, we get our kids to 

1009
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,560
read and they can pronounce the 
words and they're going, but we 

1010
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:09,000
don't know if they're 
comprehending what they're 

1011
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,200
reading. 
Like the story, what we want to 

1012
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,400
do is we want to be able to 
communicate in a way that they 

1013
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:19,760
comprehend what we're saying. 
And then when we all get down to

1014
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:23,800
the end of the conveyor belt, we
see exactly what we want to see.

1015
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,160
So let me give you the last 
phrase. 

1016
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:30,680
Pictures in our communication 
assist with a comprehension of 

1017
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,880
words. 
If you want them to comprehend 

1018
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,360
what you said, paint them a 
picture. 

1019
00:55:37,240 --> 00:55:38,800
Hopefully I tried a little of 
that tonight. 

1020
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,240
All right, everybody good. 
All right, we got 2 minutes. 

1021
00:55:42,240 --> 00:55:45,080
I'm going to pray and then you 
got anything. 

1022
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:47,960
OK, we're good. 
All right, Father, we thank you 

1023
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,120
and praise you for the 
opportunity to just communicate 

1024
00:55:50,720 --> 00:55:52,240
tonight. 
Hallelujah. 

1025
00:55:52,720 --> 00:55:55,680
And that we just take note of 
those things on how we're doing 

1026
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,240
in the world because we're 
probably going to be in these 

1027
00:55:58,240 --> 00:56:01,720
last days ready to communicate 
like we never have been before. 

1028
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,280
So we want to be able to to 
bring up those testimonies and 

1029
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,440
bring up those things that you 
have done for us so that we can 

1030
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:11,840
let people know that we do are 
witnesses of yours because of 

1031
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,800
what you've done for us. 
So Father, let us be good, good 

1032
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:16,520
communicators. 
Let us paint pictures. 

1033
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,800
Let us be sensitive to your 
spirit to paint the picture that

1034
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,640
you need painted to to make it 
convincing in the lives of those

1035
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:25,480
around us. 
And Father, we want to give you 

1036
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,320
praise because you are the great
communicator and we're thankful 

1037
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,560
that you did and that we 
understood what you were talking

1038
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:34,080
about and accepted your call, 
Father, that we'd be able to 

1039
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,400
make Jesus Lord. 
And we thank you for it in Jesus

1040
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:37,520
name, Amen.
