We won't go there. 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:17.000 Okay. 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:25.000 So today's topic is, I didn't have a title actually, but Chawa was asking me, 00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:30.000 and I guess if we had to pick a title, it'd be Kingdom Culture-Order. 00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:35.000 So today we're going to talk about order. What does godly order look like? 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:39.000 So I'm just going to pray. 00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:40.000 Father, 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:53.000 my real true desire and heart for this message is that your heart just emanates from it. 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:59.000 That as we listen about order, that we take this principle in, 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.000 whether we understand it or not, or we agree or not, or all these things, 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.000 Father, that we would first see your heart. 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:12.000 That all things that you created out of your awesome wisdom were for our benefit. 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:19.000 That it was for our good, and so that we can function optimally and excellently. 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:26.000 And so that we can do that together, and that we can show the world what Kingdom Culture can look like. 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:32.000 So Father, that's my desire, and I trust that this is the desire of this body and those watching. 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.000 So Father, help us to take it that way. 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:41.000 That this is from your heart, this is from your wisdom, and that you are a good, good, good God. 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.000 And that you don't change in that aspect in all that you do. 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:46.000 In Jesus' name, Amen. 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.000 Alright. 00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:01.000 Jeevan joked that if there's no notes, that there's always the danger that preachers will go on forever and ever. 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:06.000 But I'm not a preacher, and I don't have ten pages, and I have notes, so we're good. 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:08.000 Okay, so what is order? 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.000 So there are two systems that God put in place from the very beginning. 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:17.000 There's a system of grace, and then there's a system of order, or sometimes it's called government in the Bible. 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.000 Under grace, all are equal. 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.000 There's no limits, and there's no boundaries. 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:31.000 But under grace, God, out of his wisdom, put it in place as his divine arrangement of things. 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.000 So then on one hand in grace, there's freedom, there's absolute freedom. 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:43.000 But then under order, God has put that in place to bring it into, provide boundaries for us. 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:47.000 So that actually freedom doesn't, freedom is not safe actually without boundaries. 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:49.000 So it seems kind of counterintuitive. 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:56.000 But God knew in his wisdom that we needed boundaries to keep us safe, and so that we know where we stand. 00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.000 And to keep us in order with each other as well. 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:05.000 So if we want to look at a definition of order, it basically means the divine arrangement. 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.000 So God's arrangement of authority relationships. 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.000 Order is God's divine arrangement. 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:13.000 Hello, welcome. 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.000 And so God's divine arrangement of authority relationships. 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.000 So it only exists actually if authority is recognized. 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:32.000 When I was thinking about order, I realized actually order is like the backbone of kingdom culture. 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:39.000 It's actually what tells us where to situate ourselves with each other, and it holds things and us in the right place. 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:47.000 So with order, there's rank, there's boundaries, and there are responsibilities that come straight from the wisdom of God. 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:54.000 One thing that I felt God reminding me to be really clear is that order is not about who is greater or less. 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.000 And that wasn't even actually on God's mind from the very beginning. 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.000 In Genesis 1, 27, he's very clear. 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.000 God created mankind in his own image. 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.000 In the image of God, he created them male and female. 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:10.000 He created them. 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.000 And then in Ephesians 1, 26, 28, it says, 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.000 So in Christ Jesus, you are all children of God through faith. 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.000 For all of you were baptized into Christ and of clothed yourselves with Christ. 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:27.000 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor there is female or male. 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.000 For you are all one in Christ. 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:35.000 So if we look at the system and principle of order, it's really about relationships. 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:40.000 Because we're relational beings, and we're under a relational God. 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:42.000 We're made by a relational God. 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:49.000 So order then is about how do we function most excellently with one another and with God. 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:59.000 So as kingdom culture people, we really need to understand how critical it is to live under order. 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.000 And how important this is to God actually. 00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:07.000 And how important it is to how he designed us and the world. 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.000 There are so many examples actually of things going terribly wrong for people in the Bible. 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.000 When they stepped out of order or did not live under order. 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:21.000 One example is right from the beginning where Adam rejected God's order actually. 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:29.000 And God's direct rule in Eden by taking fruit from the tree and disobeying. 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:41.000 And then another example came in 1 Samuel 8 where the Israelites rejected God's government and system by demanding a king to be placed over them. 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.000 Okay, so living under order. 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:50.000 So something we have to remember is that the one who first covers and covers all of us is the Father. 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:59.000 So submission to divine order here on earth is actually submission or yielding first to the Father and to his principles. 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.000 And then we submit to people and structures of order. 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.000 And then we submit to the Father and to his principles. 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:10.000 And then we submit to people and structures of authority. 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:12.000 So I'm just going to say that again. 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.000 The one who first covers and covers all is the Father. 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:24.000 So then submission to divine order here on earth is actually first submission or yielding to the Father and his principles. 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:28.000 And then we submit to people and structures of authority. 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.000 So we get the privilege actually to administer his kingdom. 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:41.000 And his kingdom culture and reign by being head or covering someone or by coming under someone. 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.000 And everybody does or can do both. 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:46.000 It's not just one or the other. 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:48.000 And nobody is excluded from this. 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.000 So when it comes to order there are two positions that we can be in. 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.000 A. We come under someone or B. We put ourselves over or cover someone. 00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.000 Another way to look at this is headship. 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:03.000 That's what Christ says. 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:08.000 And yet our starting position must always be as one under. 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:13.000 Even if we're over somebody or a body we need to be under somebody's covering. 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.000 And we see that like we are under Jacob but we know that Jacob is under others. 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:19.000 And it just keeps going on and on. 00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:21.000 And ultimately they are always under Christ. 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:27.000 And so there's never somebody who is not under somebody actually if we trace it back. 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.000 And when they're not under somebody that's when we see issues usually. 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:34.000 And so that was the model that Jesus set. 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:36.000 He was over everyone. 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.000 Yet he always stayed under the Father. 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:45.000 In 1 Corinthians 11.3 it says, But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ. 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.000 And the head of the woman is man and the head of Christ is God. 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:53.000 And Jesus also had earthly parents who he was under. 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.000 So he demonstrated that to us on earth. 00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:00.000 So he for however long he was on earth he lived under his parents. 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:04.000 And he also demonstrated that was John the Baptist. 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:08.000 That even though Jesus came and had authority and all of that was there. 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.000 Jesus first recognized John the Baptist authority and that he was there first actually. 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:20.000 And so Jesus came to him in Matthew and said asked to be baptized by John. 00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.000 And when John tried to deter him saying I need to be baptized by you. 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.000 And do you come to me? 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:27.000 Jesus replied let it be so now. 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.000 It is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness. 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.000 And part of that is fulfilling right relationships. 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.000 And that's following the order that was set. 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.000 And then John consented and baptized Jesus. 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:43.000 Okay. 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.000 So the first was there are two positions when we come in. 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:48.000 When it comes to order. 00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:50.000 A. It involves either we come under somebody. 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.000 Or B. It involves putting ourselves over or covering somebody. 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.000 Two. 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:58.000 Order requires an active stance. 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:01.000 It is not and never is a passive stance. 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:08.000 It requires that I actively choose to surrender my will to someone or to come under someone. 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:18.000 And something to remember is that when the submission that I desire from someone that may be under me isn't there. 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.000 That it's not up to me to force it to happen. 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.000 And Jesus was such an example of this. 00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:26.000 He never forced or compelled anyone to submit to him. 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:31.000 And so it's not ours to forcefully take or make happen. 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:36.000 Jesus always served those who should have submitted to him actually. 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.000 He always served those who submitted to him. 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:43.000 So one example is you know just because when I got married. 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:50.000 There is the principle of order that Sheldon is the husband and he is the head of the family and he is the head of the wife. 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.000 Yes that principle is true. 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.000 But it doesn't mean that I live under that just because I got married. 00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:58.000 It's there but I'm not living under it. 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:04.000 So I need to I needed to at some point choose to recognize his authority. 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:06.000 So that was the first part. 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:08.000 I needed to choose to recognize his authority. 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:10.000 And then to put myself under that. 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:12.000 And to come under that. 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:14.000 And I need to stay under that. 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.000 So it's not just about coming under but it's also about staying under. 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:20.000 Do I keep coming to him? 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.000 Do I keep acknowledging and recognizing that Sheldon has been put over me? 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:25.000 That he is there to protect me? 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:27.000 That he is there to cover me? 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:33.000 So three. 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.000 What kind of authority relationships are we talking about here? 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:40.000 So in the Bible it talks about I forgot how many there are. 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:45.000 So the first one they talk about is the government and citizen. 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:47.000 So that's in Romans 13. 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:51.000 It says let everyone be subject to the governing authorities. 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:56.000 For there is no authority except that which God has established. 00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:00.000 The authorities that exist have been established by God. 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:08.000 And I think it seems contrary but we actually need to take three verses down. 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:11.000 Romans 13, 4 in order to understand it. 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:15.000 That the one in authority is there for our good. 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:17.000 So that's Romans 13, 4. 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:21.000 And that when we take that then we can actually really understand. 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:27.000 And take in the principle that all authority has been placed by God. 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.000 And that they have been put there for our good. 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:36.000 The second kind of authority relationship is employer to employee. 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:42.000 And that in Colossians 3, 22 it says slaves obey your earthly masters in everything. 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:46.000 And do it not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor. 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:50.000 But with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.000 Masters provide your slaves with what is right and fair. 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.000 Because you know that you also have a master in heaven. 00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:58.000 That's Colossians 4, 1. 00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:02.000 The third one is in marriage, husband and wife. 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.000 And that's in Colossians 3, 18 to 9. 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:10.000 Wives submit to your husbands as is fitting in the Lord. 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:14.000 Husbands love your wives and do not be harsh with them. 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.000 The fourth one we have is family. 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:19.000 So that's parent and child. 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:23.000 And that's in the says children obey your parents and the Lord for this is right. 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:27.000 Honor your father and mother which is the first commandment with the promise. 00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:33.000 So that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth. 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:36.000 Fathers do not exasperate your children. 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.000 Instead bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.000 And then the last one it talks about is church leadership. 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:50.000 So in 1 Peter 5, 5 it says in the same way you who are younger submit yourselves to your elders. 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:54.000 All of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another. 00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:58.000 Because God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble. 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:05.000 So within church leadership it applies to pastors, the priesthood and also to leaders in the church that have been placed over us. 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:14.000 So when I was thinking about this, these authority relationships are going on all the time. 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.000 And sometimes they're not as clear as we think. 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:23.000 So one of the things I think we need to do is to start recognizing and becoming aware of them. 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:29.000 And in Sheldon and my example, Sheldon is my husband and I come under him and he is the head of our family. 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:34.000 But then when it comes to worship, actually he chooses to come under me. 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.000 Because I have been the appointed leader in that area. 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:49.000 And so in this example, even though he is my husband and I am always under him, actually within the example of worship, he actually chooses to come under me and my authority. 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.000 And so sometimes it often looks like that actually. 00:13:55.000 --> 00:14:01.000 Where in one area we are under somebody but in another area they may be under you or may be reversed in another area. 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:13.000 One really good example that Sheldon reminded me about government and citizen authority relationship was while we were in China some years ago, 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:18.000 we visited a very large Christian foster home and a community. 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:28.000 And something that they did was that they made a point of honoring the local government and to recognize their authority and to make sure that they lived under it. 00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:39.000 And so for example, one of the things they always without exception did was that even though people brought children to their home directly to drop them off, 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.000 they would take those children and then go to the police, always. 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:47.000 Because all children in China are actually under the government. 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:51.000 They are not under families, they are actually ultimately under the government. 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.000 And so they recognized that authority and so they would first take the children to the police. 00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:01.000 And then if the police released and put them back in their care, then they would take the children home. 00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:08.000 And so even though it seemed like a small detail, they were very relentless and faithful in doing this and without grudging. 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:16.000 And what we saw was that this home actually in turn has received incredible favor from the government. 00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:23.000 And has been able to prosper in an area, in a village that otherwise was totally condemned by locals. 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:29.000 Was totally written off and was a total gambling pit and all these things. 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.000 And this village has transformed night and day. 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:41.000 And so we see how blessing comes also when we stay under order and this divine arrangement of authority relationships that God has put out for us. 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:50.000 So because we're dealing with principles and we're not talking about rules, order is a principle and not a rule. 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:55.000 And so it may not necessarily be black and white in terms of how to go about things. 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.000 What it actually looks like to come under order or to cover someone. 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:03.000 And it's possible to carry out submission on more than one level at the same time. 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:09.000 And so ask God for wisdom. Ask God for wisdom on how to stay under order. 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:14.000 He's very creative actually. He has tons of ideas. So let's take advantage of him. 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:25.000 Let's ask the Holy Spirit. And one of the examples that came up was that when Jesus was asked about the coin in Matthew 22, 17 about paying taxes. 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:30.000 His response was, give to Caesar what is his and give to God what is his. 00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:38.000 So in that way he honored both. And so ask God. Ask God for wisdom on how to stay under order. 00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:49.000 So instead of trying to find formulas and to create rules for how to be with one another, let's try to stick to applying a principle within each authority relationship. 00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:56.000 Take it case by case. Because we're not here to write like an underwriting overriding rule for everything. 00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:02.000 We're here trying to live out a godly principle and applying that to each authority relationship that we have. 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:07.000 Yeah, my last thought was, this is very short I think. 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:12.000 I know. I know you don't mind. 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:17.000 But you know what actually, I'm just going to quickly go through the whole thing. 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.000 So I'm going to go through the whole thing. 00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:23.000 So I'm going to go through the whole thing. 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:26.000 So I'm going to go through the whole thing. 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:28.000 I know. I know you don't mind. 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:35.000 But you know what actually, I'm just going to quickly go over, just quickly I'll review the points and then I'll say my last thought. 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:45.000 Because today it feels like a, let's remember and get these main points and then let's let that sink, let the Holy Spirit sink that in for us over the next few weeks. 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.000 So first we said order is a divine arrangement of authority relationships. 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:55.000 And it only exists if authority is recognized. 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.000 It is not about who is greater or less. 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:03.000 Second, the one who first covers and covers all is the Father. 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:09.000 So submission to divine order here on earth is ultimately first yielding to the Father and his principles. 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:13.000 And then we submit to people and structures of authority. 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:21.000 We get the privilege of administering his kingdom and kingdom culture and reign by being head over someone who is greater or less. 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.000 Or by coming under someone and everybody does or can do both. 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:28.000 Nobody is excluded from this. 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:30.000 And how does this look like? 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:33.000 One, there are two positions we can be in when it comes to order. 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:38.000 We either come under someone or we put ourselves over or cover someone. 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:40.000 Another way to look at this is headship. 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.000 To order requires an active stance. 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:46.000 It's not or never is a passive one. 00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:53.000 It is a willing choosing and putting down of my will so that I can come under the authority of someone who has been placed over me. 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:57.000 Three, what kinds of relationships are we talking about here? 00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:59.000 We're talking about government and citizens. 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:02.000 We're talking about employers and employees. 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:06.000 We're talking about mass marriage, so husband and wife. 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:09.000 We're talking about family, so parents and children. 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.000 And then we're talking about church leadership. 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:17.000 Those who have been placed as leaders in the church and pastors and the priesthood. 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:27.000 So my last thought is I was thinking just about my experience of living under order. 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:38.000 And I found that when I live under order, especially with Sheldon, when I willingly come under and stay in his covering and protection, I don't need to fret about being first. 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:43.000 I don't need to fight to be acknowledged or fight for my value or worth in this relationship. 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.000 Why? Because I know that we are equal by grace. 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:50.000 I know that we are well loved sons and daughters, both of us. 00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:59.000 Because we're loved and so highly thought of, there was a system put in place to help us function well and optimally together. 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:05.000 So let's, even if we don't commit to trying it out this week, let's commit to at least wrestling with this. 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:08.000 Taking it on and asking the Holy Spirit to help us. 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:11.000 What does this look like lived out in our lives? 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:14.000 What does this first look like lived out in our families? 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:18.000 In this church body, never mind outside, but what does it actually look like here? 00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:25.000 And let's show, let's show that we're not just talking about the church, but also the church. 00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:28.000 And let's show, let's show the world. 00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:31.000 Because it's possible, it's doable. 00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:33.000 Jesus never did it because it's impossible. 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:35.000 He did it because it's doable. 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.000 And we have the Holy Spirit, so it's absolutely possible. 00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:41.000 So that's what I have. 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:51.000 Thanks, Jane.
