Father_Daoud_Lami How do you change
0:00
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the one God, Amen. Today is an episode of a
0:05
series of questions that have puzzled me, entitled “Is it useful to change?” I think this question may be very offensive to you when
0:13
a person is angry with himself or feels that many messy things or circumstances are so messed up that
0:19
he wishes there would be someone else or At least some of his characteristics change, and then he hears the rest of
0:26
the people saying, “No one changes,” or “character overpowers character,” and that people only like their appearance
0:33
because no one will change in the end. These slogans are all true, not true, not
0:39
Biblical, and not Christian, because our Lord Jesus, to whom be glory, has come to change us, and He said, “Without me,
0:46
you cannot do anything,” and our teacher Paul said, “I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me.” All of this
0:52
implicitly means that I can change. Of course, the stories in the book are full of people who changed, changes that are
0:59
very clear and very explicit, even in their basic characteristics, meaning someone like the prophet Moses on the day of. During the days
1:06
, he was nervous and had to loosen his stranglehold. The musk of Egypt would kill him. After years, he would be called the most gentle person
1:12
on the whole earth. Paul the Apostle was a slanderer and persecutor of the church. After years, he remained a
1:20
very meek person and a good shepherd, imitating our Lord Jesus. Peter was a sinful man, in his own words, and a fisherman of the world’s goods. In the
1:28
end, he remained a great apostle. Zacchaeus loved money very much, and after a while, he became a bishop and became a saint, and he changed
1:36
clearly and left all his money. So change is not an impossible thing, and it is the most beautiful thing in
1:44
life. This means that you are changing, this is the most beautiful thing you can do in your life, that you extend your hand to God to
1:51
change your life and control the characteristics of the monster, the first point. I want to tell you that change is essential for growth. This
1:58
means that a natural change occurs in the neighborhood of our lives. You are people who were children and then changed. You became
2:02
normal youth. Your thinking today is different from 10 years ago. Your interests today changed your interests when you were
2:08
a child. There is a big, strong difference between now and then. The change will happen after another 10 years, and you will
2:15
remain. Groom and bride, husband and wife, you will also find that your thinking differs a lot, and your personality may have
2:21
clear differences. Change is poison to life, but most people resort to changing their appearance, but not an
2:29
internal change. It is easier to change your appearance, which means, for example, to grow your beard long, not grow your hair long, do not go to
2:36
the hairdresser, do not wear makeup, or someone changes. In his appearance or you meet someone, for example, who changes the shape of
2:42
his room, moves the desk from here to there and changes the position of the closet, and it is a change, and you may find
2:48
an older person, for example, who likes to change his car, or people who change their clothes every day and wear new clothes
2:54
even if they are not, which means you will ignore it. It is just the idea of changing everything. People yearn for
3:01
outward change. There are very few people who focus on changing the inside, and this outward change is not difficult, but it is not
3:09
useful. I mean, it has no great value. In the end, a person is his thinking, he is him, and his problems are his.
3:16
Rather, it is from the outside to create a new view, and it is clear that inside each one of us, there is an urgent desire.
3:22
Change is only expressed by changing the form or by changing the appearance or circumstances around it.
3:29
Changing the inside is a more difficult issue, and this remains God’s work in our lives, because He said, “Remove the heart
3:36
of stone and put a heart of flesh here.” What change remains, internal? It is not just an external change. We will start with
3:43
a personality that happened in Her life is a clear, strong change from the Old Testament. She is the character of Jacob, our father, Jacob,
3:49
son of Isaac, son of Abraham, or the one who took the title of Israel, Jacob, one of the patriarchs. We all
3:56
know that he started his life as a young man, meaning he is not religious. It is clear to him that he tends to lie and deceive.
4:03
He thinks about himself more than anyone could. He deceives Isa and deceives him. He was able to laugh at his father Ishaq and take the blessing from him.
4:12
He was of no use as a saint at that time. Rather, we now call Jacob of
4:17
Israel your saint if there is a clear change in his life so that he joins his grandfather Abraham and Abu Ishaq
4:24
and remains one of them from the three great fathers. Our fathers, the first patriarchs, we call them Abraham. And Isaac
4:30
and Jacob, the beginning of change is that change takes stages, but at this stage, it was clear and strong in
4:38
the change of our teacher Jacob. You know that after he laughed at Esau and stole the blessing, he
4:44
had to leave the house because Esau wanted to kill him, and he traveled and lived with his uncle’s gum and stayed for a long time, and he was still
4:51
lying and deceiving. And deception and there was a value like this that suited his uncle, and the two of them were the truth, meaning they were not
4:57
easy and frank. In the end, he wanted to die of anger, so he took his wives and his children, and he wanted to go back to his other
5:04
side to see whether his father and mother were still alive or not, and he was returning to his country. After that, young men
5:09
discovered the path, and they told him, “This is your brother Esau.” He had 400 men with him, so he soon understood that Esau
5:16
was still angry with him as he had been in the past, and he started to take revenge, he had 400 men, and Jacob had some
5:23
sheep and some livestock, and he had boys like that who were not good at fighting. He had promised his uncle Laban that he would not be able
5:29
to return to him, and if he returned to Laban, he would kill him, so he would die. It is a very difficult situation, because
5:35
this time, Esau was sworn in and bound by it, and he had years left of him, and he knew that this Esau neither prayed nor
5:42
knew God. Esau was a reckless, promiscuous person who was associated with Sunnah and insulted God sincerely,
5:49
so he spent the whole night without sleeping and praying all night until Christ appeared to him while he was He had previously
5:55
seen Christ on Jacob's Ladder, 20 years before that, when he was asleep in the dark and had a
6:01
beautiful dream. He saw the ladder like this descending on it, and our Lord Jesus said to him, "I am with you wherever you go, and I will bring you back
6:07
to this earth." When he saw Christ, he held him and said to him, "Promise me that you will bring me back." My father's house
6:13
I am in distress now, do not leave me. I will not divorce you. I will not leave you until you bless me. Our Lord Jesus preferred that.
6:21
He means to turn him away and tell him, “Don’t be afraid.” Rather, he is telling him, “No, I will not leave you. Stay with me when I
6:26
meet Jesus.” When the battle between them lasted for so long, it was a battle of love, meaning cross. He said to him, “The dawn will come,
6:32
Jacob.” Someone is supposed to see me other than you. So he said to him, “What is your name?” He said to him, “My name is Jacob,”
6:37
and “Jacob” means he is tracking Jacob. I mean, one of my arrivals wants to take the thing that is in his brother’s hand. He said to him, “Okay, that is enough.
6:43
This is Jacob. What do you think? Let us make it Israel. Because you wrestled with God and the people and defeated
6:49
the Almighty. We will remove this name of Jacob.” The one who carries the memories of the first human being, who had greed, careerism,
6:56
self-interest, selfishness, and with it remained deception and lying, and we take a new title like this:
7:04
Israel, the man of God, the wrestler of God, a lover of God, a follower of God. This story was the beginning of a clear change in
7:12
Jacob’s life, because after that he was a pure hero. The lying, deceit, and lies remained. The deception that was in him,
7:18
and he began to pray and make a swimming pool, from where did he go, he remained like his father, like his grandfather, and
7:25
Jacob’s life ended beautifully, a great saintly man. We still intercede for him until today. If a
7:31
the single change occurred, his nature was pure heroic lying. He remained honest. One person was selfish and strong, and he continued to think about people.
7:38
No one thinks about himself. God was the last thing in his life. He became the first thing in his life. A
7:43
very clear change occurred in Jacob’s life. This change happened. How did this change happen? We can say that there are four stages
7:49
or four things that help a person to change. The first thing is a crisis. The second thing is confession. The third
7:56
thing is commitment. The fourth thing is cooperation in English as well. There are many of you who
8:01
know English, and they all know English. They all know the Crysis Confession Commentary. These four words
8:08
are the approach to change. The first word is Crysis means a crisis, distress, or a
8:16
difficult situation and every one of us experiences a difficult situation and difficult situations only. There is someone who benefits from it
8:22
and starts another, and there is someone who does not try to change and wastes the opportunity. The difficult situation that was in
8:29
Jacob’s life was that he and his children were going to die, and he felt a terrible sin because he was the reason. He was the one who
8:36
was laughing at Jesus. Of course, I forgot to tell you after the night in which he saw our Lord Jesus. To him is the glory
8:40
, meaning his neck was affected, of course Jacob realized that God had worked a miracle in the heart of Aissa and others, and because of that, since that time,
8:48
Jacob has remained God’s servant. A crisis is any word that is mean and makes it difficult for himself, or means that he loses
8:55
someone dear to him, or is exposed to a major crisis. These are people who think it is a loss, but God
9:02
uses it. As a gain by which a person can change, where is the first thing that is a crisis? And notice that
9:09
the Holy Bible says that Jacob was very afraid and distressed when you reached the point of
9:16
intense fear and extreme, strong distress with one of us. This is like what you say like, he will start to change and become another person, or
9:23
his miserable state will be removed from him. It should have been healed a long time ago. God allows
9:29
many crises, one crisis after another, to change you, one after the other, until you remain a man of God and you remain a
9:35
sweet saint and change. Seriously, the problem is that during crises, there are hours when we resort to organizing and complaining. When
9:42
a problem occurs, we sit down and say why God is doing this and why. People did this to me, and why does this language
9:48
make you never change? This tone is the tone of disappointment. I mean, never let a person change,
9:55
because complaining and grumbling will not help you in anything. It will not benefit you. Look at our teacher here. He did something
10:02
good. He distributed the children, women, and sheep and told them to leave me alone tonight. This night is a night of modesty.
10:08
And the death of Fasbo Ani and he spent the whole night praying because of the night he spent the whole night praying. God appeared to him
10:15
and dealt with him and it was the beginning of a sweet change. So don’t sit there complaining about your worries and sit blaming the circumstances or blaming
10:22
people or blaming God. All of this will not save you from the problem. If you are smart, learn in crises
10:29
to pray and cry out to God. And you say to him: I will not divorce you. I will not leave you until you change me, until you
10:35
bless me. Until you free me from what I am in, I will not leave you, Lord. At that time, I will enjoy sitting with God as if I saw him with my own
10:41
eyes, and that means the end of this beautiful base will begin to change. Even then, I want to tell
10:48
you something that big eagles say when they are strong. Do you know that she makes eggs? This means that
10:54
the eagle’s eggs remain for her, and then the white one emerges as an eagle chick, a young eagle like this, and the eagle’s nest always stays
11:01
on a high, strong mountain because the eagle always flies very high. They discovered that the mothers of the eagles do
11:07
something strange after a few days after these chicks emerge. She is still young, of course, she does not know how to fly.
11:14
They drop into the nest. The eagle itself, the mother, drops the nest from the top of the mountain. In the empty space, it will fall from a height,
11:22
and then the eagle, because it continues to fly very quickly, will come to fly and descend, spreading its wings from underneath
11:28
to let the eagles fall on them. These young eagles are of course the chicks, when
11:34
they find the eagle’s chick. She is in the air, flying miles away from the ground. She is shaking, but what does she do? She begins to
11:40
move her wings in an attempt to fly like her mother. Many of them know how to fly at this moment and those of them who
11:48
come and mourn fall to find what the mother’s wing or the great eagle’s wing is carrying, and nothing happens.
11:56
And for those who do not know how to fly Repeat this movement for them two, two, and three times until
12:01
its wings reform and move, and they all begin to fly. If we put ourselves in the place of the chicks of victory, we would be
12:09
very upset that God would throw us into the air like this, and the view would remain terrifying and a heart-stopping crisis would remain. But
12:15
God does not mean that He threw us into a crisis, that He threw us seriously. He is like this from under the cover of his wings and he knows
12:22
It is very good that we will not go back to a calculated crisis, because in the end, our hands will get a little stronger, and
12:29
change will happen, development will happen, and you will emerge from the role of the weak chick who relies on your father and mother all the time
12:37
to a great eagle. That is why God was using this expression, saying, “I carried you on
12:44
the wings of eagles and brought you. ” I carried you on the wings of eagles and brought you to me and he says
12:51
and renews your youth like the eagle because the eagle is strong and powerful and his flight is beautiful in crises. One board
12:59
will not change except when he stops the peg of complaining and grumbling begins to face the situation and begins to pray to our Lord
13:06
and begins to ask for change. If you ask for change, you will change because our Lord hears and He says, “Seek.” You will find
13:13
, read, it will be opened to you. Ask, and it will be given to you. Everyone who asks takes. Everyone who asks finds. Everyone who knocks will be opened to him.
13:19
So when you are tired of yourself on his side, O Lord, change me, repent of me, O Lord, so I repent because you, O Lord, are
13:25
my God. The crisis works like this. This crisis can remain a recurring fall. The person remains angry. There is something about himself,
13:31
but this is your chance to change. Do not leave God at this time. The second point is the point of repentance
13:38
and confession. A person cannot change unless he confesses to himself first, that there is a major defect that must be
13:46
changed, or that there is a clear sin. You must go and notice that many strong people are as arrogant as young men. Many times when
13:53
his parents, for example, say to him, “You have a flaw in you, this is shameful.” No, I am organized, I am diligent. This is what is wrong
13:59
with teaching and studying. As long as you are not willing to admit that you have a certain flaw, then you will not
14:06
change. Face yourself to change the opportunity. The crisis. The catastrophe that happened is an opportunity that revealed to you
14:14
. There is a clear flaw in you, Jacob. On this night, he understood very well that he was the one who caused all
14:21
the problems. He knew what he had done to Esau a long time ago, once or twice, and he was the one paying the price for it now,
14:27
so he admitted to himself that he was a monster and that he was wrong, and on this night he said to him, “I am young, I am all about
14:34
you .” I mean, I don't deserve, Lord, for you to be kind to me because with my stick I crossed this Jordan
14:41
in the past. I mean, he had a stick, but now your servant has two armies. I mean, I'm going back to the same place after
14:47
20 years with an army of sheep. This is all your grace. Then he said to him, but save me from the hand of my brother, I'm
14:53
the reason. In all the problems, but oh Lord, there is no one but you, save me. Confession begins with confessing to oneself. Admit
15:00
to yourself that there is something that must change. Admit that you have a flaw in you that you want to overcome,
15:07
otherwise, you will not change, and you will find people who have changed and caused you loss, and God is ready for change. God can change,
15:14
but you want someone to say to him, oh Lord. I have a small soul, I do not have self-confidence. Change me, Lord
15:21
. I have too much fear of people. Change me. I have laziness. Change me. I have pride. Help me get rid of it. I have
15:31
too much lust. I am suffering from anxiety. When one cries out to God and confesses,
15:38
change begins. Can God explain this to us? He asked Jacob, "What is your name?" He said to him, "Jacob,
15:44
and what does this mean, Jacob?" Yes, I am Jacob, who did not
15:49
leave anyone alone. I am Jacob, who tracks down something and must reach it with taste. In good health, I will take what is in Aissa's hand. An hour ago,
15:55
a plate of lentils. In the past, when I used to like to take something. I have to reach her. Okay, this is not a shame, Jacob.
16:00
This is a sin. You must confess that inside you is Jacob. The one who must change and remain Israel as well is
16:07
the one who confesses. You know the secret of confession. For us, it means three steps. You confess in front of yourself,
16:15
then you confess in front of God, and then you confess in front of our Father or in front of the church announcing your confession. In front of
16:21
yourself, this is the first step. The second step, O Lord, I am eclipsed by you. I really do not deserve your gifts. I am truly a
16:27
monster. I am truly at fault. Then you come to our father and tell him that there is something wrong with me. My sin is clear. My sin is before
16:34
me. I acknowledge this. This is an important and powerful step in change. The first step is the booklet, the crisis,
16:42
and more than that. All of it. A fall called the crisis of the second step of
16:52
Confucius. It is not just a mistake, I wish I had not done it. No, this is a step from it. Rather, repentance means a desire that
16:59
I will never do this again. I will return to God and say to Him, help me not to sin again. Forgive me for what
17:04
was past and helped me with what was coming. Help me so that I can be another person and not do it. What I used
17:10
to do before that, and in fact, Jacob no longer does what he used to do before. When someone excuses
17:15
himself, he stops confessing or delays repentance for hours. What do we say to him? My son, you are
17:21
angry. Someone responds to his parents like this, saying, “What are they that provoke me as long as you say they are?” Then
17:27
you will not change because you are not satisfied. Admit that you are angry. They provoked you, but they did not
17:35
provoke you. This does not mean that you get angry as long as you blame someone behind you. Then you will never
17:43
change. Like someone who said, “What did you steal?” You have greed inside
17:49
you, and that's why you stole. Don't excuse yourself, as we said in the first point in the booklets. Don't
17:55
blame God and blame the circumstances and people. In the second point, don't excuse yourself. Admit that you are
18:02
wrong about you so that you can begin to change. Because you excuse yourself every time inside yourself, this keeps you from moving forward, by the
18:10
way. These are hours that happen inside the secret of confession. God, you are excusing yourself. Why don't you say all the time? I'm
18:16
stuck in bad sins, lusts, and bad scenes. Face yourself. It's you because you stayed a little idle or stayed up late.
18:23
All of these are flimsy excuses. If you don't want to make a mistake, you won't make a mistake, so don't be afraid. Don't make a mistake. Yourself.
18:29
The third point is commitment, commitment, or perseverance. The first point was the crisis
18:35
The second point was repentance and confession. The third step in change is commitment or
18:41
perseverance, in other words. All of you have tried it in confession. You will meet the father of confession and he will say to you, “OK, look
18:46
from here and you will go.” We will do a lot of prayers. What will we pray in the obligatory prayers? What will we read in the Bible?
18:51
Will we be prescribed for Communion? We will stay away from this confusion. Is this talk? What you hear from this father of ours,
18:57
you take it seriously and you fight the whole world to do it, and it does not mean what our Father will say. It is not what he says
19:03
every time. There is not a lot of difference in someone who comes out of confessing to himself, even before he
19:10
reaches our father, he comes out with a promise that he will never make a mistake again and that he will love you. And he will love you no matter what happens.
19:17
He does not lie. He does not get upset. With this commitment, there will be a change. They said that once, two monks were
19:24
confessing to a saintly father, and then they met after an internal period of confession. One of them said to his brother, “
19:29
What do you benefit from confession?” The father said to him, “You have made a mistake, father. I
19:34
will benefit.” He said to him, “You will benefit.” Strong told him the truth is very beneficial. Amal said to him, “I confess to
19:39
myself as our father, and I am not of any benefit at all.” What exactly are you doing? So he said to him, “Look, I
19:45
consider the word that our Father says to be God who says it. As soon as I find out from
19:51
the confession that our father gave him, write down what he said and implement it no matter what.” He asked me to confess and change quickly. He said to him, “
19:58
I understand why I don’t change because our father says something to me. I don’t remember at all.
20:03
What did he tell me? What should I stop?” I go back and repeat the confession again, a month or a week later. Here is
20:07
the covenant. What does the covenant mean? Commitment is not enough for God to do for you. A crisis to change.
20:15
Some people go through crises and do not change. It is not enough to repent and confess. To change, you must come out of
20:21
repentance and confess commitments that we call hours. Spiritual law.
20:27
Spiritual law. Part of it I will not do this and part of it I will do that. I will not do wrong and I will do right. If I
20:35
enter this stage, we are very close to The change in Jacob after the night in which he saw death
20:40
with his own eyes and saw Christ and passed from death to life. Our Lord promised that there would be a second person, that there
20:46
would be Israel. In fact, there was a second person. We never heard him lie again. We never heard from anyone else
20:51
covet anyone. He expelled all the old life and remained a man of God. Of course. Join
20:58
the series of great fathers with commitment. Hours of retreat or withdrawal come. What does it mean?
21:04
One walks for a day or two, and then what happens. He continues to sleep in the line. Calculate Calculate. Because we are all
21:11
vulnerable to this. But to achieve change, it is not enough to walk for a day or two. It is true. Be strong with yourself
21:19
and have determination. He wants that what you are about to start in will continue in it. Keep in mind that you will be exposed to things that will stop
21:27
you. Do not withdraw, do not back down, and if you fall, get up quickly because you are the new line that you entered and you
21:33
must complete it. You fall, say no, it is of no use, and come back again as if you had not confessed and do not look back. Okay,
21:40
you are not like this. You will not change. When you take it seriously and say no, even if you fall, I will
21:46
complete what I started, I will complete the law that our father said, I will complete the covenant that I told God. You will find a clear change after
21:51
a while, a change in your qualities, your character, your personality, and everything else. An important point with perseverance. Do not rush the results. Do not rush
21:59
the results, because changing a person is not easy to do. The grace of our Lord and the work of
22:06
man’s effort. You are trying, and God is with His grace and help, but after a while you will remain alone. Indeed,
22:12
God is able to do this, but this matter will never come in one day or night. You must remain aware of
22:17
this that the change will take a little time and money. It does not take a little time, but it is enough that you are the class.
22:22
Whatever bothers you will go away from you at all. You will be happy for the rest of your life. We are always in a hurry with
22:28
this matter of perseverance. You want to pray for a week and then be fine. You will never make a mistake. No,
22:34
this is your fault as well. What is inherent in you? The sin has become a habit. To get rid of it, it will take you a little time. Don't worry, continue
22:41
with what. I started it to achieve real change, just as habits, fears,
22:48
weaknesses and sins take years to form. Virtues, purity, and purity always take years to
22:55
form. And like ZZ, guys, no one waters the planting. The second day he finds the planting tree, it
23:01
will grow in comfort, but it will grow and produce fruit. You too are planted in a house. The Lord says,
23:08
like a beautiful, fruitful olive tree, this plant will bear sweet fruit, but give it time and always give it its
23:16
water. This stage is in need of hope or in need of hope. This is the stage of perseverance.
23:23
The devil enters and tells you there is no benefit. You have tried too hard and become tired, and every time you promise and do not
23:28
do so, here is the devil of despair. Always comes in with this point of opposition and persistence, the devil of despair
23:35
enters and tells you that there is no benefit. You once tried and once you confessed. What you say you will say every time
23:40
in confession. No, do not listen to this devil. Tell him, “Look, God loves me and God met me like this.
23:46
And if I fall, I will rise up, and my sins will no longer be remembered by him.” He is able to change me and he wants to change me. Always answer
23:54
yourself so that you do not fall into a war of despair and Egypt prefers that you change and change. The last point in the
24:00
change which we called Co-Operation. We said that the first “Crisis” means the immediate crisis, a confession
24:06
meant by repentance and confession. The third “commitment” means commitment
24:12
and the last “law” is a copy. What is meant by the bridge? What does it mean to interact with God? Cooperate
24:19
with God. God wants to change you. Help him. God wants to help you too. Help him, God.
24:26
He is saying something that I should listen to. I mean, when Peter was drowning in the water, our Lord Jesus extended his hand. If
24:31
Peter had not said to him, “No, I don’t give you my hands,” he would have drowned. But when he held his hand, he came up. This cooperation is
24:37
very much needed here. I mean, James, all he did was stay up late, pray, and humble himself before our Lord, and shout, “I will not divorce you.”
24:45
I will not leave you until you bless me. The change began, because in cooperation, you notice that the meeting between Jacob and our Lord
24:51
ended with a somewhat strange ending. Our Lord Jesus, to whom be glory, was struck on the right thigh, a trap that dislocated it, dislocated the right, and
24:59
Jacob was shamed, so Jacob continued to sweat for the rest of his life. Why did some people say that Jacob was a seducer doing
25:06
work and running around ? Because he was doing that, for example, he stole the blessing from Esau,
25:12
and then he ran around the house. In the afternoon, he was relying on his legs to help him and
25:19
save him. God said to him: “Be quiet, we will stop stealing, we will stop lying, and we will stop cheating.” Also, what is the argument or thing that you were
25:25
relying on? I will remove it for you. I will leave it for you. I will remove it from your life because
25:31
you hate sin, because if you
25:39
work as a worker, it will be erased after that, because I want you to hate lying,
25:47
hate deception, and hate running in the past because What a beautiful thing you say
25:54
about a man's legs? Why don't they like it about our legs? No, in the past, there were two legs in war. Warriors are
26:00
very important in hit and run. In battle, there were no tanks
26:06
and pistols. What was the whole story? It was two hands and two legs. This leg is very important in battle
26:11
because when you run away, No one knows how to catch you or when you attack, you can reach your enemy, so here he said to him, “Look,
26:18
your legs are still forgetting them a little bit. You, Dob, will know how to walk, but I don’t want you to rely on them again. I want you to
26:24
rely on me. I am staying so that we can cooperate with each other to change. Oh Jacob, you can rely on me. Either you
26:30
get bored. ” You say to me, Lord, Lord, help me. I don’t know how to change. I don’t know how to act. I don’t know how to
26:36
speak. I don’t know how to judge. Our teacher Jacob or our father Jacob knew how to do this. He completed his
26:42
whole life. It became a life of crucifixion and a life in which there was an altar and in which there was piety. Because he kept interacting with God, he kept thinking about
26:49
God . All the time he kept calling on our Lord. Every time our continuous meeting with our Lord is the basis for
26:55
change. Evening prayers are the basis for change. Masses are the basis for change. Sitting in the Bible is the basis for change. You
27:02
want to change. Sit with our Lord for periods of time. Take His seclusion. Memorize the Psalms. Spend time because
27:10
the time you spend in the light of our Lord shines. Your life is in your light, O Lord. We see the light when you sit
27:17
in the light of our Lord a lot. You yourself are growing and about to change. We know just as Moses the Prophet used to
27:23
sit on the mountain like this once for 40 days. In the end, he remained illuminated, because from his sitting with our Lord, he changed
27:30
Moses, who one day was wanted. When he was arrested, he became a very great prophet, and his face was luminous
27:35
because he spent a lot of time with God. This is cooperation and interaction with God. Our Lord is able to make saints out of you,
27:41
but give him opportunities. Our Lord is able to enlighten your heart and soul, but spend time with him. Our Lord is able
27:49
to remove every bad thing from us, but remove every good thing from him. If a person spends long hours with him,
27:56
it is only because we spend a minute or so, God does not continue to change us and correct the mistakes that are inside us
28:03
for hours. It is the one who is holding the person back. Self-confidence. Self-confidence makes you say that I am able to
28:10
get out of any crisis on my own. Okay, stay or I am not making a mistake. There is no confession. I pray
28:16
, I will not commit to anything. I am like this. I am fine. There are no commitments. I will be able to change myself by myself. There will be no cooperation
28:22
with God. For hours, God intends to break self-confidence a little, just as he hit Jacob’s thigh to
28:30
tell him to stop relying on your intelligence, your wisdom, your foolishness, and your feet. No. Enough
28:37
with you, these things would have been lost. You and your children, rely on me. I am the last thing with which we can conclude.
28:43
A question for all of us. What is the need that you yourself would change in? I wonder if this is a character trait, for example, and there is no
28:51
clear sin or something that you are eclipsed from. What is the need that is inside you? Your path and self. Get rid of it
28:58
and be aware. Do you think that it is difficult? No, it is not difficult. Everyone can change and the chances of crises that happen to you.
29:04
This is your chance to spend time with God, telling Him to change me, Lord, and it is your chance to admit to yourself, God,
29:11
and our Father that there is a clear defect that wants to change. Come on, make a covenant with God and make commitments, and if
29:18
you fall, stand up . Again, complete, and finally, always keep your approach. Extend your hand, may God extend his hand.
29:25
Come closer to what approaches you. Return to me. I will return to you. He who has is given and increased. He who does not have is taken from him.
29:33
No matter how difficult your faults are, no matter how old you are, and the story has remained for years inside you, be aware of despair.
29:40
Our Lord will raise the dead, so what is easier? May God help us to change one of us and do a great thing in him and
29:46
bring out the most beautiful thing in him. This is our Lord’s job. This is our Lord’s role. He is only judged by despair because despair
29:52
hinders change. To our God be all glory and honor forever, Amen.
