Waching daily Jan 27 2018

There's something very peculiar going on our homestead today. Something that hasn't

happened for a little while. It's sunny, I cannot tell you how lovely it

is to see the sunshine and I know that really it's only been a few days, but I have

missed the, I've missed the brightness and I've missed it that

need to squint, which is never terribly flattering and has given me

beautiful smile lines. But just to have a little bit of warmth on my skin

and to be able to be out in the fresh air, it's very very nice. There are

fire engines going up and down the main road which, just at the moment I've come out to

film, makes it a bit noisy, but all I can hope is that they get the fire put out

quickly and that everybody is safe. It really is lovely - just to be outside and having look around.

There's a lot of clearing up to do, there are some massive clumps of stinging nettles

around the garden. And all the debris from winter of things that I didn't get

to in the autumn will need sorting it as well, but how nice to be outside for

a couple of hours, a bit of fresh air and just to enjoy being out here.

I'm sitting down near the, I'll see if I can pull it down, look at this lovely

twisted corkscrew willow. This was here when we moved in and but it was in what

is now the shrubberies and it was just a single stem, maybe it had three

but they were very spindly and it was well, from my mind, it was not a great

place for it to be. It was good it was going to block my view from the kitchen,

from where we sit in the kitchen to eat and where I sew and, you know, I spend a lot

of time. It was going to block the view straight down the garden, so we

moved it much further down the garden. And it was about, I don't want to

exaggerate, so I think it was about five to six feet high ,five and a half to six

feet high. It was a little bit taller than me, but not very much and it

is now, it's about ten feet high now and a good eight feet across. And it's done this in two

years, so it obviously really likes but where it is. It's obviously getting

enough moisture and it is really pretty. I like that it casts a really dappled

shade over the garden. The sun comes up over there,

then moves round and goes down behind me over there. So it casts some shade first

thing in the morning as the sun comes up. And then casts a bit of shade down the

length of the garden, and then when the sun gets to its height, and in the summer

gets really hot, it's casting some shade over the chicken field where big white is.

So it actually gives him a little bit of shade as well.

It actually turned out to be a really good place to plant it, which wasn't

necessarily that much planned.

This weekend two of the younger ducks are going off to a new home.

They're actually going to join their two sisters. So a little while ago we sold

two ducks to a family farm about five miles or so away from us, and they

got in touch to say they're having such a nice time with the ducks, could they

buy a couple more.So they're headed off to their new home on Sunday and then on

Monday three of our youngest Jersey Giant girls or two girls and a boy

are heading off to a new home, a goodly while away, they're heading off to

a new home on the other side of the country.

Are you alright there Elvis? (Loud crowing)

What a noise!

One of the things I've noticed this morning is that this fence

needs a little bit of sorting out. Up here it's fine,

but this fence panel has been tipped over by the wind. So I'm going to

straighten this up and give it a bit of support.

I've secured it at both ends using cable ties and that just it makes

it a little bit more stable and hopefully that will stop the wind from

blowing that over more, than it already has.

Well, that's it for me today, I'm going to go and muck out the duck house and I'll spend a

little bit of time with the ducks.

And so, wherever you are in the world and whatever you've got planned for today, I

hope it's good one and I also hope you can join me again tomorrow.

Outfitting our cabin on the cheap - Prepping to go off grid - Duration: 5:28.

Hey everybody, in this video I am going to show you how we are taking steps to outfit

our cabin build on the cheap.

So we picked up these here cabinets from a family that just bought a new house just south

of here a little bit.

We are still on the military base just yet.

So while we are here, we are picking up some other things that could help us down at the

property that we will just bring down with us once we go down.

So we picked these cabinets up at this couples house that had just moved in to their house

and they were renovating it and they had these online, it was on kijiji, similar to craigs

list for the Americans.

I guess we might have it up here too.

But we picked up these and sure they aren't the prettiest and they need some work but

they are free.

So this whole set is the upper part of the cabinets right now its all like pine, so it

looks good, its gonna look good in our cabin.

And it cost us absolutely nothing.

It may cost a couple bucks to fix a few things up here and there.

But another thing that they had mentioned is that he also has the whole bottom part

with the drawers and everything.

That is still in.

So as soon as he takes that out he is going to let me know and then we are going to go

down and pick that up too.

So we are going to have the top and bottom set to put in our cabin for the kitchen area,

just like that we are going to have that all taken care of and good to go.

So, just thought I would mention that for, thats another way thats going to help us to

make this as cheap as possible but still look like the way we want it to look, we still

want that rustic look.

And have the feel and have the comfort in there and then spend the money where it will

really will make more sense for us.

Like the Kitchen Queen because it is a more high efficient wood cookstove.

It is going to heat our water, cook our food and heat our house all at the same time.

It is going to do a lot of jobs.

And we are going to put the money into something like that, that makes a little more sense.

Thats how we see it.

So, thought I would show yas this.

We just picked these up and are really happy about them.

Really happy we got these.

No cost.

And they are going to look great.

Check these turkeys out.

This is right on the base.

They are always coming out.

They are right in the front yard today.

They just don't care.

Pretty cool eh?!

Are you a "Heyoka" Empath? - Duration: 2:55.

An Empath is a person who has the ability to understand the emotional state of another

individual.

There are different types of Empaths and many levels of gifts and abilities.

It is one thing to be an empath, another to be a Heyoka (masters of a form of resistance).

For Heyoka, there is little information available and yet it is the most powerful type of Empath.

The Heyoka or "sacred clown" is an Amerindian term and is translated as "Mad or Clown".

This translation does not do justice to the true meaning of the term.

Saying, acting in a different way, upside down, in a different way, gives us a better

understanding.

The spirit of a Heyoka is a formidable mirror.

When you connect to a Heyoka, what you see in them will show you what you need to work

to evolve spiritually.

The mirror of the Heyoka is the mirror of emotion, and it will make you react in an

emotional way and will teach you lots of things about you.

For example, after being with someone who can make you feel anger, the mirror of the

Heyoka shows you the need to be humble.

Or you can feel a lot of love, again the mirror shows you the way to self-esteem.

The following traits of a Heyoka Empath are defined by the energy you carry.

This is how you interact with reality, how you treat emotions.

Some traits may include: being dyslexic (thinking backward), being born violated (coming into

the world upside down), doing things upside down, looking younger than her age.

Heyoka is a movement and a transformation.

It's something you can not pretend to be.

A Heyoka recognizes another Heyoka when they feel that energy.

There is a deep understanding of how our sensitivity and emotions interact with each other.

In Native American ceremonies, the Heyoka will be the one that will disrupt the process

so that people see things differently or transfer energy from the situation.

The modern Heyokas, when working with people, will say or do something to change the energy

that creates change, healing and balancing energy.

The gift of a Heyoka is to rebalance people and unblock people by alternately showing

the opposite message, the opposite way.

The Heyokas carry in them the medicine of chaos and this medicine has the power to change

the lives of people.

This energy is solid, imminent and strong.

It is the upheaval of love; In the hope of growth.

This medicine aims to show us that the shadow remains invisible and that the mirror of truth

is difficult to look at.

It is difficult to make oneself humble in an ego world.

If you were to meet a Heyoka, would you have the courage to experience the invisible and

see yourself as you really are?

DANA WHITE: 15 CRAZY BEEFS WITH THE UFC PRESIDENT - Duration: 12:04.

Dana White has never faced an opponent in the octagon,

but he nevertheless has a reputation as fighter willing to go to the mat for his friends and

to do whatever it takes to crush his enemies.

While it's well known within the ranks of UFC that you don't cross the boss, over

the years White has found himself in the middle of brawls with punches being traded in the

media.

Subscribe to our channel and hit that notification bell and we'll take you down a few of Dana

White's craziest clashes.

Where's the Beef?

Dana White has been in the middle of a number of feuds with fighters, but his 2016 "beef"

with Nate Diaz was unlike the others.

Diaz posted footage to his Instagram account showing him delivering a Stockton Slap to

White.

If this had been real it would have undoubtedly sparked a major escalation.

it looks like Diaz and White both got what they wanted from their little stunt: publicity.

One has to wonder how many of White's beefs are motivated as much by a desire for publicity

as a genuine need to pursue a grudge.

I am Legend Frank "The Legend" Shamrock is one of the

old school MMA fighters from the early days of UFC, and he's had an on and off feud

with Dana White for more than a decade.

They've traded insults for years and at one point Shamrock said he wanted to fight

White in the octagon.

The feud continued to fester in public, then in 2014 the two men were able to come to an

understanding and move on.

This surprising turn of events took one beef off the table, but left White with several

others still simmering.

The Full Nelson The official story is simply that bearded

heavyweight fighter Roy Nelson and Dana White never got along.

However, there have been rumors around MMA that Nelson intentionally instigated a beef

with White to raise his profile by playing to the segment of UFC fans who dislike White.

Both Nelson and White have dismissed the idea of a ploy, but can we put it past either of

them?

The UFC is an entertainment business and White's collection of ongoing feuds have been entertaining

and lucrative.

In the Lion's Den

Most of Dana White's arguments are just wars of words, but his feud with Team Lion's Den

champion Ken Shamrock was a little different.

In 2006 Shamrock filed a lawsuit against UFC's parent company.

The suit was unsuccessful, but the bad blood lingered until 2014.

The two men were able to bury the hatchet after a 45 minute phone call in which they

both had their say.

The details of the call were not released, but both men were satisfied that the move

was a good thing for UFC.

Helwani Takes the Heat In an unusual move in sports media, reporter

Ariel Helwani was banned for life from covering UFC fights.

White was adamant when asked about the fate of Helwani for releasing a couple of MMA stories

without clearing it with UFC first.

Reporting stories seems like a fairly trivial reason to ban a reporter, but White's reputation

for confrontations with the media is well-deserved.

Helwani's lifetime ban from UFC serves as a warning to other reporters considering leaking

stories and running afoul of White, who's apparently never heard of freedom of the press.

Pride vs. White It was fun for UFC to have a rival MMA organization

like Pride to battle.

Dana White seemed to get a kick out of feuding with Pride and using the shenanigans to ratchet

up interest in fights.

Of course, UFC fighters didn't always beat their Pride opponents such as the 2003 matchup

between Chuck Liddell and Quentin Jackson.

Whether all of this drama was ultimately good for UFC television ratings and for ticket

sales is unclear because UFC's parent company went and bought Pride in 2007 for $70 million.

Buying up the competition is one way to make sure the competition doesn't beat you, but

it also ended an epic beef.

Elite Rival White also like to pick fights with counterparts.

Gary Shaw was president of Elite Extreme Combat, a rival MMA organization that competed with

UFC from 2006 to 2008.

Although the rivalry was short-lived it generated a lot of heat between the two outspoken executives.

Shaw argued that his company treated fighters much better than the UFC did its fighters.

People disagree whether this stance was simply clever marketing or an accurate description

of the state of affairs.

Either way White did not take the criticism lying down so a very public conflict ensued.

Going to the Wood Shed Tyron Woodley is UFC's hard hitting welterweight

champion, but this apparently wasn't good enough for Dana White so he trashed his fighter

in the media and questioned whether MMA fans even wanted to see Woodley in the octagon

again.

An ugly feud ensued in the media with threats and accusations traded and Woodley promising

to reveal damaging secrets about White.

But before this beef could escalate any further Woodley apologized.

This important gesture allowed both men to move past the dispute and again focus on what

happens in the octagon.

Wandering into a Fight Perhaps credibility isn't what it used to

be since he was slapped with a lifetime ban from MMA by the Nevada Athletic Commission

for evading a mandatory drug test in 2014.

However, his situation hasn't stopped Silva from sounding off about a number of issues

including UFC president Dana White.

Silva, along with other fighters, has called out White over what he considers ill treatment

of UFC fighters, the deal White inked with Reebok to provide equipment to fighters and

public denunciations of fighters such as Jose Aldo.

White doesn't take these charges lying down and continues to make his case in the media

in the strongest terms possible.

Bellator's Master of the Universe When Bellator CEO Gjorn Rebney was asked about

his rival UFC, he didn't pull any punches, saying that UFC had set the bar pretty high—in

terms of tasteless comments.

Rebney was referring to, among other things, the way he felt Dana White had treated MMA

stars like Georges St-Pierre.

There certainly appears to be genuine animosity between the two MMA chiefs, but it's also

true that their very public beefs are a good way to keep interest in the sport between

fights.

It seems we've reached a point where many fans expect and want this kind of drama in

MMA.

Gambling Man In of the

more colorful feuds in MMA, Ricco Rodriguez was banned from UFC for betting on himself

in a match while wearing a henna tattoo of the casino where he placed the bet.

Rodriguez won the fight and raked in a $500,000 payday from Golden Palace casino.

Dana White was understandably incensed by the fighter's behavior and White has seen

to it that he doesn't fight for UFC anymore.

Interestingly, Rodriguez has publicly stated that he doesn't blame White for his grudge

so this one isn't quite the usual running beef fans are used to when dealing with the

likes of White.

Huntington Beach Bad Boy Former light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz

and UFC president Dana White were scheduled to face off in a boxing ring in 2007, but

the bout was eventually called off.

This ill-fated match was agreed to after several years of feuding between the fighter and the

executive.

The fight fell through after Ortiz failed to appear at the weigh-in without any explanation.

Ten years later the two men still appear to be nursing a beef.

The exact origins of the feud are unclear, but the two have traded barbs and accusations

for forever and a day.

Although Ortiz hasn't been a part of UFC for most of this time there doesn't seem to be

a way for the two men to bury the hatchet once and for all.

Afflicted to You Affliction and UFC have been direct competitors

in the world of MMA so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the two organizations would

not always get along.

But when you throw UFC president Dana White into the mix you get a whole next level of

feud.

Affliction was created by Affliction Clothing in 2008, but was run as a separate organization

and held only two highly publicized pay-per-view events before folding in 2009.

The short-lived upstart was never a threat to UFC so Dana White could have simply ignored

Affliction, but his combative personality wouldn't let him stand pat when he had the

opportunity to take a few shots.

Unluck of the Irish The feud between MMA star Colin McGregor and

UFC president Dana White was about money on the surface.

McGregor refused to go to Las Vegas to promote UFC-200 because according to him he's paid

to fight not to promote.

As some critics pointed out McGregor was either misinformed or being dishonest about the situation.

This beef erupted after a feud was already simmering for some time behind the scenes

between these two big personalities.

Neither White nor McGregor is disposed to back down which is part of the reason these

feuds fester.

But we also can't totally discount the possibility that much of this is just free publicity for

the UFC.

Out of Sync In an interview with Sports Illustrated magazine

in 2013 Dana White went out of his way to call out Justin Timberlake for supposedly

ignoring White's children backstage at a Nickelodeon award show.

Even for White this beef seems like a petty squabble designed solely to get his name mentioned

in the same sentence with Justine Timberlake.

White referred to the former 'N Sync star as a "d--khead" for failing to acknowledge

his children in the manner he expected.

If nothing else, this particular feud reveals a certain amount of entitlement on White's

part.

But don't worry, because Timberlake reportedly reached out to White and smoothed the situation

over to everyone's satisfaction.

8 Reasons Why You Should Never Mess with the Quiet One - Duration: 3:44.

8 Reasons Why You Should Never Mess with the Quiet One

Quiet is associated with introverts, and you definitely should never mess with them.

As you may not know, the quiet person is the one who actually possess great ideas and they

can listen to everything that is going on around them.

We may have made all kinds of wrong assumptions about these people, and often times, people

thought of them as less intelligent.

Most people assume that quiet people are weak and submissive, but the truth is, quiet people

are usually strong and creative.

While they seem to be an easy target to bully or mistreat, they are not quite what they

seem.

Here are at least 8 reasons why you should never mess with the quiet one.

#1 - Quiet people are quiet.

From the outside, they are easy to spot, because they are being quiet most of the time.

They often can get through life without being noticed.

So, if you really think you can mess with the quiet one, when in fact you can't realize

what they're doing, or even their existence at all, then that is a terrible idea.

#2 - They listened a lot

Quiet people tend to know more information than those who speak a loud.

The reason is simply because they listen as they do not get chance to speak up.

Additionally, quiet people tend to focus more on the content of the discussion instead of

roaming around out of the topic.

#3 - Observance

They can understand people better than the louder counterparts.

They observe things in detail, in careful manner.

It is no wonder why they also can notice inauthentic behavior.

Picking up this subtle emotion is not easy, and it is worth noting that introverts upgrade

this skill throughout the course of their life.

#4 - They are not weak

Even though quiet people probably will not say anything, they actually will.

It is only when the things go out of the track.

Sometimes conversation can be misleading due to saturated information expressed in a careless

manner.

Quiet people will speak up when they notice something that does not feel right.

#5 - Having different social skills

Please do not compare social skills of quiet people and extroverts.

The reason is simply because they use different strategy.

Quiet people use social skills based on trust and respect.

In utilizing this skillset, it requires small number of people to work.

#6 - Determined

When it comes to relationship, introverts or quiet people can create special bound based

on trust.

They also have ideas that must be realized.

When they do, they will make others surprised.

#7 - Intolerance

Quiet people just cannot be manipulated easily especially if they are experienced and intelligence.

The reason is because they have values which cannot be denied or pushed over.

#8 - Quiet people can be loud sometimes

Being quiet doesn't means they are not talking at all, in fact, they can be just as loud

as you when they want to be.

They do have a voice and when they decide to speak, usually it's something that mattered

to the situation.

They even can be the life of the party when they want to be.

All in all, that's the 8 reasons why you should never mess with the quiet one.

Kennedy Classics - Give Me This Mountain - Duration: 28:31.

FROM D. JAMES KENNEDY MINISTRIES

THIS IS KENNEDY CLASSICS

WELCOME TO KENNEDY CLASSICS

HELLO, I'M FRANK WRIGHT, PRESIDENT OF D. JAMES

KENNEDY MINISTRIES WHERE WE ARE STANDING FOR TRUTH

AND DEFENDING YOUR FREEDOM; WELCOME TO

KENNEDY CLASSICS.

IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND THAT

YOU'D LIKE TO WATCH THESE POWERFUL MESSAGES, TELL

THEM THEY CAN WATCH ONLINE AT DJKM.ORG WHERE WE ALSO

HAVE MORE RESOURCES, IMPORTANT ARTICLES AND

GREAT BIBLICAL CONTENT TO BUILD FAITH AND ANSWER

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.

THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A HOLY AMBITION.

SO, HOW AMBITIOUS ARE YOU FOR THE LORD?

ARE THERE OBSTACLES OR CHALLENGES KEEPING YOU

DOWN AND DISCOURAGED?

PERHAPS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ONE MAN WHO LIVED

THROUGH ENORMOUS DIFFICULTIES AND WAS ON

THE BRINK OF LOSING ALL HOPE.

HE WAS A GALLEY SLAVE ROWING BELOW DECK ON

A FRENCH SHIP IN THE MIDDLE 16TH CENTURY.

DURING HIS TIME AS A SLAVE HE FELL SICK.

HE WAS SO SICKLY THAT HE ASKED HIS FELLOW SLAVES TO

LIFT HIM UP SO HE COULD SEE THE PASSING SHORELINE.

THERE HE SAW HIS HOMETOWN OF ST. ANDREWS, SCOTLAND.

HE TOLD HIS FELLOW SLAVES, "I AM FULLY PERSUADED, HOW

WEAK THAT EVER I NOW APPEAR, THAT I SHALL NOT

DEPART THIS LIFE TILL THAT MY TONGUE SHALL GLORIFY

HIS GOODLY NAME IN THAT SAME PLACE."

DESPITE THE HORRID CONDITIONS, HIS HOLY

AMBITION WAS TO PREACH THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST

TO HIS NATION.

LATER ON IN HIS LIFE HE REPORTEDLY BEGGED GOD IN

PRAYER, "GIVE ME SCOTLAND, OR ELSE I DIE!"

THAT MAN WAS JOHN KNOX.

BY GOD'S GRACE HE SURVIVED HIS TIME AS A GALLEY SLAVE

TO NOT ONLY PREACH THE WORD OF GOD, BUT TO HELP

TRANSFORM SCOTLAND DRAMATICALLY.

WHAT MOTIVATES YOUR LIFE AND WHAT IS IT THAT YOU

ARE DETERMINED TO ACCOMPLISH FOR THE

ADVANCEMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF JESUS CHRIST?

TODAY, DR. KENNEDY DRAWS ON THE STORY OF A VERY

AMBITIOUS MAN IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.

HERE IS HIS POWERFUL MESSAGE: "GIVE ME THIS

MOUNTAIN."

OUR SCRIPTURE LESSON THIS MORNING IS TAKEN FROM THE

14TH CHAPTER OF THE BOOK OF JOSHUA.

MAY WE HEAR THE WORD OF GOD AS ITS FOUND BEGINNING

WITH THE 6TH VERSE.

JOSHUA 14 VERSE 6.

THE INSPIRED AND INFALLIBLE WORD OF THE LIVING GOD.

THE EVENTS NARRATED HERE TRANSPIRED AFTER THE

CHILDREN OF ISRAEL HAD ENTERED INTO THE PROMISED

LAND, SUBJUGATED PART OF THE PEOPLE AND WERE ABOUT

TO PORTION OUT THE LAND TO THE 12 TRIBES.

AND MAY GOD SPEAK TO OUR HEARTS AND MINDS THIS DAY

THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD AND MAY HIS NAME EVER BE

PRAISED AMEN.

SURELY IT IS ONE OF THE MOST ASTONISHING REQUESTS

TO BE FOUND ANYWHERE IN SCRIPTURE- ­PERHAPS

ANYWHERE IN ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY, IF YOU THINK

ABOUT IT.

OTHERWISE, YOU MIGHT JUST PASS IT BY.

BUT CONSIDER THOSE BRIEF WORDS: "GIVE ME THIS

MOUNTAIN."

YOU SAY, "WHAT IS SO ASTONISHING ABOUT THAT?"

FIRST OF ALL, CONSIDER THAT IT WAS CALEB WHO MADE

THAT REQUEST OF JOSHUA- CALEB, WHO NOW DECLARED

THAT HE WAS 85 YEARS OLD.

YOU SAY SURELY HE NEEDED A MOUNTAIN RETREAT WHERE HE

COULD GO AND PUT UP HIS FEET AND REST.

WELL NOT QUITE THAT SIMPLE.

YOU SEE, THERE HAPPENED TO BE A BUNCH OF PAGANS

LIVING THERE THAT WEREN'T GOING TO BE TOO THRILLED

ABOUT CALEB COMING TO CALL.

FOR IN THEIR OPINION, JOSHUA HAD NO RIGHT TO GIVE

HIM OR ANYONE ELSE THAT MOUNTAIN WHICH WAS THEIR

HOME.

IF THAT DOESN'T, INDEED, MAKE YOU REALIZE HOW

UNUSUAL IT WAS THAT THIS 85 YEAR OLD MAN WANTS TO

GO CLIMB A MOUNTAIN WHICH IS CRAWL­ING WITH HOSTILE

PAGANS AND ENTER INTO A WAR, ON TOP OF THAT,

THE ANAKIM WERE THERE.

THESE OF COURSE ARE THE SONS OF ANAK, WHO WAS A

GIANT, AND WHO GAVE BIRTH TO A WHOLE FAMILY

GENERATION, TRIBE OF GIANTS.

OF COURSE, WE KNOW ONE OF THEM MORE UP CLOSE AND

PERSONAL.

SOME YEARS LATER WE RUN ACROSS ONE OF THE ANAKIM,

THE SONS OF ANAK, BY THE NAME OF GOLIATH.

GOLIATH WAS A VERY BIG MAN.

GOLIATH WAS 9 1/2 FEET TALL.

WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH HE WEIGHED, ­PROBABLY 600-

800 POUNDS.

AND I AM SURE THAT CALEB WAS PROBABLY CONSIDERABLY

SHORTER THAN I AM, PROBABLY HALF A FOOT.

PEOPLE WEREN'T THAT BIG, GENERALLY, IN THOSE DAYS.

SO HERE IS THIS 5 1/2 FOOT MAN, PROB­ABLY WEIGHING

150 POUNDS, SAYING, "GIVE ME THAT MOUNTAIN," AND HE

IS 85 YEARS OLD.

HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN A THING LIKE THAT?

WELL, LISTEN TO WHAT CALEB SAYS, "AND YET I AM AS

STRONG THIS DAY AS I WAS IN THE DAY THAT MOSES SENT ME:

AS A SPY INTO THE LAND, AS MY STRENGTH WAS THEN,

EVEN SO IS MY STRENGTH NOW, FOR WAR, BOTH TO

GO OUT, AND TO COME IN" (JOSHUA 14:11).

SO WHAT?

SO WHAT IF HIS STRENGTH WERE AS IT WAS 45 YEARS

EARLIER, HE IS STILL DEALING WITH PEOPLE THAT

ARE AT LEAST TWICE HIS SIZE, PROBABLY FOUR TIMES

HIS WEIGHT, AND ALMOST TWICE HIS HEIGHT.

OBVIOUSLY, THAT REALLY DOESN'T EXPLAIN IT.

WE HAVE TO GO A BIT FURTHER.

IN THE NEXT VERSE: "NOW THEREFORE GIVE ME THIS

MOUNTAIN, WHEREOF THE LORD SPAKE."

THEN HE SAYS "IF SO BE THE LORD WILL BE WITH ME, THEN

I SHALL BE ABLE TO DRIVE THEM OUT, AS THE LORD SAID."

TYPICAL OF THE WHOLE LIFE OF THIS MAN CALEB, WHO IS

SURELY A HERO BY ANYBODY'S DESCRIPTION OF THE TERM,

WAS BASED UPON HIS FAITH AND TRUST IN THE LORD.

AND, SO, WE HAVE THIS AMAZING DESCRIPTION OF

CALEB WHICH IS GIVEN NOT ONCE, OR TWICE, OR THREE

TIMES, OR FOUR OR FIVE, BUT SIX DIFFERENT TIMES

IN THE BIBLE WE READ THE SAME THING ABOUT CALEB,

I DON'T KNOW OF ANYBODY ELSE THAT WE READ THIS

ABOUT LIKE THIS BUT IT SAYS:

"HE WHOLLY FOLLOWED THE LORD" (JOSHUA 14:14B).

HE "WHOLLY" FOLLOWED THE LORD, AND THEREIN, MY

FRIEND, LIES A GREAT LESSON.

I TRUST THAT MOST OF US HERE ENDEAVOR TO FOLLOW

THE LORD, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT MOST OF US

PARTIALLY FOLLOW THE LORD.

HOW ABOUT YOU?

HAVE YOU WHOLLY FOLLOWED THE LORD?

HAVE YOU OBEYED THE VOICE OF THE LORD AND DONE WHAT

HE HAS TOLD YOU?

I THINK OF THAT MEMORABLE INSTANCE IN THE LIFE OF

SAUL, THE FIRST KING OF ISRAEL.

WHEN GOD TOLD HIM, THROUGH SAMUEL THE PROPHET, TO GO

INTO THE LAND OF THE AMALEKITES AND TO DESTROY

THEM WHOLLY- MAN AND BEAST.

EVERYTHING WAS TO BE DESTROYED.

IT WAS ACCURSED.

SAUL AND HIS ARMY WENT.

SOME DAYS LATER THE VICTORIOUS ARMY RETURNED.

WHEN SAUL SAW SAMUEL, HE SAID THAT HE HAD WHOLLY

OBEYED THE LORD.

NOW GOD HAD ALREADY SAID TO SAMUEL THAT THE KINGDOM

WAS BEING PLUCKED OUT OF THE HANDS OF SAUL BECAUSE

HE HAD DISOBEYED HIM AND NOT OBEYED HIS VOICE.

HE HAD BEEN TOLD TO DESTROY EVERYTHING, MAN

AND BEAST, AND NOW SAUL COMES AND SAYS, "I HAVE

WHOLLY OBEYED THE LORD."

AND SAMUEL UTTERED THOSE UNFORGETTABLE WORDS "THEN

WHAT MEANETH THIS BLEATING OF SHEEP IN MY EARS?"

THERE WITH THE ARMY WERE THE FLOCKS OF THE

AMALEKITES.

"WHAT MEANETH THIS BLEATING OF SHEEP

IN MY EARS?"

IT WAS THE SOUND OF PARTIAL OBEDIENCE.

DOES IT REALLY MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE?

SAUL HAD WIPED OUT THE ENTIRE AMALEKITE ARMY, BUT

HE HAD NOT OBEYED WHOLLY THE WORD OF THE LORD,

AND GOD SNATCHED HIS KING­DOM AWAY FROM HIM.

HE WAS DEFEATED IN BATTLE.

HIS SON WAS KILLED.

HE WAS KILLED.

HIS HEAD WAS TAKEN OFF.

HIS BODY WAS NAILED TO A WALL AND THEN TAKEN, AND

IN SHAME IT WAS BURNED BECAUSE HE PARTIALLY

FOLLOWED THE LORD.

I WONDER, MY FRIENDS, HOW MANY OF US CAN SAY,

"I WHOLLY FOLLOWED THE LORD" AS CALEB DID?

IT WAS OUT OF THAT OBEDIENCE THAT CAME THE

STRENGTH AND THE COURAGE THAT MADE THIS MAN A HERO

FOR GOD.

AND THOSE DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS, WHO HAVE BEEN GREAT

HEROES HAVE BEEN MEN AND WOMEN THAT WHOLLY FOLLOWED

THE LORD.

HAVE YOU THUS FOLLOWED HIM?

IF SO, THEN, AS WILLIAM CAREY, THE FIRST OF THE

PROTESTANT MISSIONARIES, SAID IN A MOTTO WHICH I

HAVE TRIED TO MAKE ONE OF MINE, HE SAID:

"ATTEMPT GREAT THINGS FOR GOD.

EXPECT GREAT THINGS FROM GOD."

THAT IS AN ACT OF FAITH, EXPECTING GREAT THINGS

FROM GOD.

IT WAS THAT EXPECTANT FAITH THAT LED CALEB TO

SAY, "GIVE ME THIS MOUNTAIN"- BECAUSE HE

BELIEVED THAT GOD WAS GOING TO DO IT.

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW TODAY FROM EACH OF YOU IS:

WHERE IS YOUR MOUNTAIN?

DO YOU HAVE ONE?

DO YOU HAVE ONE IN YOUR SIGHTS, IN YOUR PRAYERS,

IN YOUR EXPECTATIONS?

ATTEMPT NOTHING FOR GOD, EXPECT NOTHING FROM GOD.

TRAGICALLY, THIS IS THE ATTITUDE OF MANY, MANY

CHURCH MEMBERS WHO ARE NOT WHOLLY FOLLOWING THE LORD.

DIETRICH BONHOEFFER SAID "ONE ACT OF OBEDIENCE IS

BETTER THAN 100 SERMONS."

THOMAS BROOKS SAID "EVERY MAN OBEYS CHRIST AS HE

PRIZES CHRIST AND NO OTHERWISE."

THOMAS BROOKS ALSO SAID "THE OBEDIENCE THAT SPRINGS

FROM FAITH IS THE OBEDIENCE OF A SON

AND NOT OF A SLAVE."

JOHN CALVIN DECLARED "WE CANNOT RELY UPON GOD'S

PROMISES WITHOUT OBEYING GOD'S COMMANDMENTS."

AND BILLY GRAHAM SAID VERY CLEARLY "UNDERSTANDING CAN

WAIT, OBEDIENCE CANNOT."

HAVE YOU WHOLLY FOLLOWED THE LORD?

ARE YOU SERVING HIM?

WHAT IS YOUR MOUNTAIN FOR CHRIST?

SOME DON'T EVEN HAVE SO MUCH AS A MOLEHILL THAT

THEY'RE TRYING TO CLAIM FOR THE LORD.

A MOLEHILL INHABITED BY ANTS WOULD BE FAR TOO MUCH

EFFORT FOR SOME.

WHAT IS YOUR MOUNTAIN?

WHAT ARE YOU ENDEAVORING TO DO FOR CHRIST?

I RECALL READING YEARS AGO ABOUT A RETIRED RAILROAD

ENGINEER, HAVING JUST RETIRED FROM THE RAILROAD

AND NOT FEELING TRAINED TO DO MUCH OF ANYTHING IN THE

SPIRITUAL REALM HE DECIDED ONE THING HE COULD DO WAS

TO INVITE PEOPLE TO CHURCH.

AND SO HE WOULD GO OUT DURING THE WEEK AND INVITE

ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE TO COME TO CHURCH.

AND BEFORE HE DIED ABOUT 10 YEARS LATER, HE HAD

HIMSELF BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR BRING­ING ABOUT 875

PEOPLE INTO HIS CHURCH.

WHY GOODNESS GRACIOUS IF EVERY CHRISTIAN IN AMERICA

DID ONE-TENTH OF THAT, AMERICA WOULD HAVE LONG

AGO BEEN BROUGHT TO CHRIS­T.

AMERICA WOULD BE A CHRISTIAN NATION TODAY IN

THE TRUEST SENSE OF THE WORD, AND SO MANY OF THESE

PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE WOULD HAVE DISAPPEARED.

AND I THINK IT IS INTERESTING THAT IT IS

ONLY SAID ABOUT CALEB THAT HE ALONE GOT RID OF ALL OF

THE PAGAN, THE HEATHEN THAT DWELT IN HIS LAND.

ALL OF THE REST OF THEM LEFT SOME OF THEM THERE,

AND THEY WERE A THORN IN THEIR FLESH FOR CENTURIES

TO COME, BUT CALEB "WHOLLY FOLLOWED THE LORD" AND GOT

RID OF THEM ALL.

AND THIS BECAME AN INHERITANCE FOR HIM AND

FOR HIS CHILDREN UNTIL THIS DAY, WE ARE TOLD AND

THAT WAS WRITTEN MANY, MANY YEARS LATER.

AND SO AMERICA IS OUR PATRIMONY THAT WAS GIVEN

TO US BY GODLY PEOPLE.

BUT IN THE LIFETIME, OF CERTAINLY THE WHITE-HEADED

ONES AMONG US, WE HAVE LET THIS PATRIMONY SLIP

THROUGH OUR FINGERS AND THIS HAS BECOME A VERY

UNGODLY NATION.

THIS IS THE PATRIMONY THAT WE GIVE TO OUR CHILDREN

AND GRANDCHILDREN.

WHY?

THERE HAVEN'T BEEN THE CHRISTIAN HEROES, THE

CALEBS AROUND, SAYING "GIVE ME THIS MOUNTAIN,"

OR "GIVE ME THIS PLAIN."

THERE ARE 1,200,000 PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTY, AND YOU

KNOW SOMETHING, A MILLION OF THEM AREN'T EVEN

CHURCHED.

"LORD, GIVE ME THIS PLAIN."

THIS IS THE KIND OF FAITH THAT MOTIVATED JOHN KNOX

IN SCOTLAND, WHO WENT OUT IN THE GARDEN BY HIS

CHURCH, KNELT DOWN AND WEPT AND CRIED OUT,

"O LORD, GIVE ME SCOTLAND, OR I DIE."

WOULD THAT THERE WAS THAT KIND OF A CONCERN TO REACH

THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION FOR CHRIST.

WOULD THAT THAT KIND OF A CONCERN WAS IN YOUR HEART,

IN THE HEART OF EVERYONE IN THIS CHURCH.

WE COULD MAKE A VASTLY GREATER IMPACT THAN EVER

WE HAVE MADE BEFORE.

875 PEOPLE BROUGHT INTO THE CHURCH.

HOW MANY MEMBERS OF THIS CHURCH ARE HERE BECAUSE

YOU BROUGHT THEM?

WHERE IS YOUR MOUNTAIN?

MAY WE PRAY.

FATHER, MAKE US MEN AND WOMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS OF

FAITH- A FAITH THAT WILL LEAD TO OBEDIENCE AND TO

WHOLLY FOLLOWING THE LORD, AND THAT FAITH AND

OBEDIENCE WILL LEAD TO COURAGE AND A DESIRE TO

FOLLOW CHRIST BECAUSE WE PRIZE HIM ABOVE ALL ELSE

IN THIS WORLD.

LORD, I PRAY THAT YOU WILL WORK MIGHTILY IN THE

HEARTS OF ALL OF THE PEOPLE HERE- THAT THEY MAY

DESIRE TO BE LIKE CALEB AND TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO

ATTEMPT GREAT THINGS FOR GOD AND THE FAITH TO

EXPECT GREAT THINGS FROM THEE O LORD.

IN THY NAME.

AMEN.

"O LORD, GIVE ME SCOTLAND, OR I DIE."

DO YOU ECHO THE WORDS OF JOHN KNOX WHEN YOU THINK

OF YOUR COUNTRY OR YOUR CITY?

OR ASK LIKE CALEB, "GIVE ME THIS MOUNTAIN."

HOW DIFFERENT OUR COMMUNITIES OR OUR NATIONS

WOULD BE IF WE HAD THAT KIND OF PASSION FOR SOULS.

BUT YOU KNOW YOU REALLY CAN'T DRAW OTHERS TO JESUS

CHRIST UNLESS YOU YOURSELF KNOW HIM AS YOUR SAVIOR

AND LORD.

HAVE YOU COME TO THE PLACE IN YOUR LIFE WHERE YOU

KNOW ABSOLUTELY FOR CERTAIN THAT YOU'RE GOING

TO BE WITH GOD IN HEAVEN SOMEDAY OR WOULD YOU SAY

YOU'RE STILL WORKING ON THAT?

AND IF YOU'RE STILL WORKING ON IT, IS IT

BECAUSE YOU'RE TRYING TO DO ENOUGH GOOD THINGS TO

GET INTO HEAVEN?

FRIEND I HAVE TO SAY, IT WON'T HAPPEN THAT WAY.

YOU SEE, THE SCRIPTURE TELLS US THAT OUR VERY

BEST EFFORTS ARE LIKE FILTHY RAGS BEFORE AN

ALL HOLY GOD.

ONLY JESUS CHRIST COULD PAY THE PENALTY FOR OUR

SINS AND TO PURCHASE A PLACE FOR US IN HEAVEN.

AND WHAT'S TRULY AMAZING IS THAT HE OFFERS US

HEAVEN - ETERNAL LIFE AS AN ABSOLUTELY FREE GIFT.

TO RECEIVE THIS GIFT WE MUST TRANSFER OUR TRUST

FROM OUR OWN EFFORTS TO BE GOOD ENOUGH TO WHAT JESUS

CHRIST DID WHEN HE DIED UPON THE CROSS.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO RECEIVE THIS GIFT, WE CAN GO TO

GOD TOGETHER IN PRAYER RIGHT NOW.

SIMPLY PRAY WITH ME SAYING, "LORD, JESUS

CHRIST, I KNOW THAT I AM A SINNER IN MY THOUGHTS

AND IN MY WORDS AND IN MY DEEDS.

I AM SORRY AND I ASK YOU TO FORGIVE ME, CLEANSE ME

AND MAKE ME BRAND NEW.

IN YOUR NAME I PRAY, AMEN."

IF YOU JUST PRAYED THAT PRAYER, LET ME BE THE

FIRST TO WELCOME YOU TO THE FAMILY OF GOD.
