Hello everyone welcome to the Sunday English show it is a very special show because I'm gonna interview a lot of great teachers In this video in this Show tonight, it's gonna be very busy first It's coming on We're gonna have James the best IELTS teacher in the world He's gonna be here in just a minute and then after James We're gonna have the a to z English podcast gang All three teachers will be here so they will come in in about 20 minutes But for the first part we'll have James and before we get to James Remember, please consider being a channel member you can join in the link below and of course join our WhatsApp group The link is below too. So let's get to James here. Let's bring him in Hello, hello James Welcome to this is the Sunday English show and I'm very happy that you are here to talk about IELTS So very quickly. Can you just introduce yourself? Yeah, my name is James. I run a YouTube channel called IELTS insider We also have a website and basically the premise of IELTS insider is to provide high quality lessons high quality material to not only people that are wanting to take the IELTS test but generally people who have an interest in English and improving academically and generally just providing as much material as we can And what what is the IELTS test like what who what kind of English student needs to take the IELTS test? There's there's a lot of different reasons people take the test So it started in 1980 so it's quite an old test It's accepted by Governments all around the world. So if you're looking for a visa It it can be used in the requirements for visas for the UK US Canada New Zealand Also, if you would like to study abroad in English speaking countries and some non-English speaking countries IELTS is a requirement. So you cannot enter a course unless you have the required IELTS score I mean, it's also useful for people who just want to improve their general English Yeah, a lot of different reasons why people would take the IELTS test. All right, and how long have you been teaching IELTS? On and off Six seven years I think so along with other test procedures. I've taught other Similar tests as well. I've taught the TOEFL test and TOEIC speaking But yeah About six or seven years. Yeah. All right. So the website and YouTube channel IELTS insider I'm gonna I'm checking the chat here a lot of people will say hello James We're not gonna look at every every message for for the hellos But I will focus on a few questions here Pallavi's asking teacher if I want to learn IELTS, what should I start first? Well, um, that's a good question Pallavi. Um, I suppose If if you're brand new to IELTS think about what you are strongest at in English I think that's always a good place to start So if you're reading is strong have a look at some IELTS materials on reading and see where your level is at with that but it's a four-discipline Sub a test Pallavi So You're going to have to look at at everything But I suppose a good place to start would be maybe to look at some mock tests That would give you some examples of the types of questions that you would expect and the types of texts that were being used So yeah, I think that's always a good starting point Learn about the test and look at some sample tests that are out there. Yeah It's it's not just about knowing English, but you also have to know how to take that test and practice that with the mock tests Layla is asking James in case I decided to take an IELTS exam. How long should I study before the exam? well, that's another very good question Layla and There's not an easy answer to this so it depends on a lot of things first of all What is your English ability your English proficiency now? secondly What is the target score you have on IELTS and how far away do you think you are from that score? so it I Would say it's never a short time People I know that I know they're studying IELTS some people have been going for years Some people maybe don't need as much as that they're six months to a year But it's certainly not a short-term thing Layla You're going to have to study for Quite a lot of time before you do it the amount of time really depends on your current ability and the ability that you need to reach To get the score that you want. So yeah, no easy answer, but I hope hope that has given you some insight Yes, and sleep walker is asking James Is it possible to take all four parts of the IELTS test on the same day? Well? Hmm, I I've never heard of this happening The the main reason for this being that the speaking test on IELTS is a face-to-face You have to physically be with the other person So I think It's maybe possible. I've just never heard of it Usually you would do the three sections writing reading and listening on one day and then either within I think it's usually within 10 days before or 10 days after you would have the speaking part So yeah, I'm not going to say it's impossible to take all four parts in one day But I think it would be very difficult I think it's safe to say that most most test centers do split that into days Yeah, they would they would have to this it would be too difficult to schedule. I think yeah Laila has another question here. What types of articles should I read for studying the IELTS exam? That's another very good question and I think the big thing here Laila is variety so there are Developing your everyday reading skills is great for IELTS because it increases your your speed of reading So websites like BBC websites CNN anything that covers a wide variety of topics is always a good starting point for reading But also it's important to look at maybe specific topics as well So the IELTS Reading exam will focus on more academic topics So whereas it's good to get a rounded knowledge of many subjects It's also good to try and read more specific articles Maybe scientific articles or political articles Again, you can find a lot of these types of articles on places like CNN BBC You can also look at kind of specialist websites for Those specific topics so yeah The big thing for me is Although it does depend on what you read is the amount the more that you can read The more your reading skills will be sharpened the more vocabulary you will you will learn as well okay, and By a yes, Sue Sam. Hello, Robin and James. Can how can I sound like a native speaker? Well, I would first ask the question. Why do you want to sound like a native speaker? but yeah, I Suppose if you really want to sound like a native speaker listening Try to mimic what you're what you're hearing. There's a lot of great TV shows or streaming online podcasts Listen to the intonation that people use Listen to their pronunciation of specific words and see if you can mimic that But as I said, I don't I don't think speaking like a native speaker is the most important thing I think speaking in your natural voice can be good as long as you're clear and your pronunciation is Easy to understand. I would agree with that 100% Okay, and Let's see We have a lot of questions here. We'll try to get to most of the questions Naz Naz mean deep some quick tips for writing Okay And they improve their writing James right every day. That's that's it keep a diary. It's a great way I always find keeping a diary is a great way to practice your past tense and When you're writing The the simple past tense is used so often So write a diary every day is a great tip Another good thing is when you learn new vocabulary Write it down write some sentences make a paragraph Using that that new vocabulary That can be a great way to practice writing But like with most things in language learning and Naz mean it's all about practice If you can get into a routine of writing every day You will notice you will improve Over time. It's a it'll be a gradual improvement, but there will be a big difference I would add to that as Cell phones are everywhere or mobile phones. A lot more people are just writing with their thumbs That's not enough for IELTS. You've got to either be typing on a keyboard or writing with a pen. Yeah Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah Type typing on a keyboard and typing on a phone are two different experiences But I have seen people writing essays with their thumbs Okay Here we go which channel is best for IELTS preparation Which channel is best? Well, there's only one channel you should be going to Sandeep and that is IELTS insider IELTS insider That's on YouTube and that's also the website IELTS insider calm. Yeah, so you teach there How often do you have a? Livestream yourself there It varies So over the summer we were doing about three live streams a week Just now we're doing one to two live streams a week on the channel But there is a lot of other content that is going to be coming up in the next few months So yeah, we will continue with the live streams there But the other content that comes on to the YouTube channel is going to be really useful for Preparing for the IELTS test and of course you can find a link to the channel in the description of this video Yeah, we have King Fazin Mo. Hello James. Could you please tell me how to improve speaking skill? so it's quite a it's quite a general question here because Without knowing which parts of speaking You're wanting to improve most but Like I said with writing One way to improve is practice as much as you can now that could be practicing face-to-face with other people It can be practicing online Maybe you've got some online groups where you can chat to people and if those options are not available to you try recording your own voice and Speaking looking back at what you've said try to identify any problem sounds Try to work on your fluency over time as well So yeah, I think with speaking is probably the most difficult thing to practice because you Either need a partner or you need the ability to record your your voice But again, try to get into some good habits. Try to speak every day if you can Also, try to analyze what you have said afterwards try to identify any problem areas that you may have I think that's a great starting point for improving your speaking skills All right. Thank you James from IELTS insider if you want to see more of James Please visit his YouTube channel IELTS insider the link is below Again, thank you very much James for your time. Thank you very much Robin, and I hope you have a great stream Okay, thank you. All right, so that was James. Thanks. I'm sorry if you had a lot of questions for James Go to IELTS insider ask him there. I am going to bring on the a to z English podcast group Let's start maybe they are waiting to come in I think I'll I'll just add Kevin here and so chill. Hello. I should we add Jack? Wait, he's okay. Make a wait. Well, let's bring him in All right, I'm the least from StreamYard prison. Thank you All right, if if you have any questions for this podcast team Start type of them and Who's gonna introduce who you are and what you do? Kev, you're the intro guy. I Guess that is that is what I do. So Jack down down below me so chill down down here and I Okay, your name is Okay down, what's your name? So chill, okay, we got everyone's name so chill Kevin and Jack Jack there we go We are the a to z English podcast hosts and I was just watching you talk to James not too long ago And he's working on IELTS test which is fantastic because we're a podcast we primarily focus on Listening and speaking skills not so much testing skills Everything is important of course, but we're a podcast so you can listen to us on your commute on the subway or driving or doing your laundry Or any time that you want Very quickly. Can you explain what a podcast is and why? English students should listen. Can you explain that a little more detail do that Jack? You're the yeah, sure I'm the I'm the I'm crazy about podcasts. I love them are So a podcast is very similar to a radio program Except the difference is that a podcast is something that you can that you can listen to it online So you can stream it or you can download the file and you can just listen to it anytime But it's it's basically the same as a radio program. It's just that you can listen to it anytime 24-7 anytime you want to From any place that you have an internet connection And if you don't have an internet connection just download the file and you then you can listen to it without internet Yeah, okay, and I I should say there is a link to the a to z English podcast Below this video in the description. You can go there after I Listen to their podcast multiple times a week. How many times a week do you? Release a new episode. So we try to release. Yeah, three a week Monday Wednesday Friday very early Monday morning Wednesday morning and Friday morning so that we can catch our listeners on their their morning commute to the office Or wherever they're going And what kind of podcasts are like what what is the topic you're doing these days? Or you're focusing on or is each episode different during the week? Yeah, I'll kick this over to social. Maybe you could talk about the two episodes that we just recorded today Yeah, we did one on idioms and we also did a quick chat. So usually I would say We usually do like a grammar based one Which Kev and Jack take care of because they have more experience teaching English than I do We've been idioms one which is kind of a toss up between who and and as you said Robin idioms are like the Would you say infinity something about the Avengers anyway? Yeah, it's just infinite It's nice like be able to balance Because a lot of us have like different understanding or multiple understandings of an idiom, right? So those are really fun And then we also do quick chats which are just about any topic that we come up with and it's a good way to help Listeners build their vocabulary and kind of listen to a natural English-speaking environment All right, and we do have a question from Layla. What are the difficulties that you are still encountering with the podcast? Episodes are are you having difficulties making these? I don't know. Yeah, maybe I Don't know. Maybe Layla's got some inside information No, I think we're I think we're doing we're it's going pretty well a kev. What do you think is are there any? problems that we've encountered in In terms of just making the episodes I think the hardest thing is is getting them to people and and always thinking of topics Of course and with the quick chats and grammar and we do our best to think of topics that people would be interested in listening to or common grammar mistakes that that listeners or learners would have and so as always For everyone out there if you're ever if there's something that you want us to talk about let us know We're happy to talk about anything, but that's always the the difficult thing. What should we talk about today? Once we have a topic. We're very good at talking How can they tell you how can they give you feedback and can they is there any way for them to talk to you directly? Oh 100% so you can go to our WhatsApp group the A to Z English podcast in this link below The link is below You can also we have a facebook page so you can leave a message in facebook You can leave a comment right on our website So if you find an episode that you enjoy you can leave a comment there you can leave a comment on youtube And we even have a telegram as well. So and we have an instagram which i'm a chart Yes, instagram all the social media Collaborate teachers. Why do you think that podcast will help us to learn english? Well, I don't think sorry go ahead social I was just gonna say I think it's a really great way for listeners to Get in on a natural english speaking conversation I've noticed in our whatsapp group that a lot of um a lot of our listeners have talked about how Different english sounds to them when it's a bunch of native speakers speaking together So I do think that it's a lot of practice and they can pick up natural forms of speech like the idioms and grammar and Just natural speaking patterns. So I think that that's really helpful on top of that Jack always tries to make transcripts and things so they can pick up vocabulary and other resources jack Do you want to talk more about that maybe? Sure. So if you go to our website, there's always a a transcript with uh some some kind of Not assignment, but a little bit of of something that you can do so for our idioms episodes We ask our students to use the three idioms from the episode In sentences and then you can put those sentences into the whatsapp group And we'll read them and give you some feedback on those sentences For our quick chat episodes that are just about Random topics that we think are interesting We will ask some more open-ended questions where students can just share their experiences with that topic And some vocabulary as well that they can learn that would that's from that episode So yeah lots of ways to kind of interact with our podcast that goes beyond just listening to it Um Kevin There is a question on the screen there I want you to answer this.  So till seems to be volunteering for the lazy jack is definitely the the most active And and yeah, I won't I won't point to anyone specifically as being the most lazy But I will say that jack is is the the driving force behind everything that we do I would say It's not that i'm lazy, but that my life is a little chaotic They have to be kind of patient with me. Sorry. I I guess this is part of hiring someone who's like a lot younger maybe Every every the whole team showed up tonight. That's right that counts that counts That's a good point Michelle keva jack it's so chill. I listened to you on youtube because they still need subtitles to understand you So who speaks the fastest? Kevin you lost that you lost that title If we I think if we had a competition it might be interesting But I do my best to to stay slow because I know Having taught english for a very long time. I know that that It can be difficult for people to understand very fast Spoken english, so well as as teacher sorry to cut you off as teachers. We use the teacher talk Yeah, which is very different than how native speakers would talk to each other What do you think about teacher talk? Do you think that's uh overused and not Properly preparing students for actual native speaker conversation speeds and That's interesting. I I would say for me it's really hard when we're doing this right now because My teacher talk can't change When I'm in the classroom my teacher talk changes depending on the people the students that I have some some students need more teacher talk Some less and so I'm able to adjust um But on a podcast You don't know you don't know who's listening. Well, you know every level is listening potentially I like what you said. Oh, sorry. Okay. I like what you said before the robin about kind of giving students letting students experience what a real English conversation is going to feel like because Podcasting is a lot about like we have three three hosts, but you are the fourth host You know, you're kind of like a fly on the wall Observing this English conversation. That's the what I love what I like about listening to podcasts personally Is that I feel like I'm part of the conversation even though I'm not physically there It feels like I am and so I I don't teach or talk but Apparently my natural speaking voice is really slow because I I haven't slowed myself down at all For any of the podcasts, but I never get a complaint about speaking too fast. So It's very interesting. I'm not sure but social. What do you think about that? I think jack has a really great natural like speaking pattern and good diction and then Kevin is really conscious of this too and does a good job I'm definitely the one who has to work on speaking slowly Because like right now I'm trying to speak slowly It's like really hard I'm sure my audience appreciates There's like a direct shoot between my brain and my mouth and it goes like fast So it's really hard for me to slow down. Um, I grew up bilingual as well And spanish speakers speak really quickly. So I think that's one thing that kind of Is a detriment to me, but um, I'm I'm trying to speak more slowly But I think what jack said is true I actually never used to use teacher talk in the classroom because I taught younger students And I noticed that they were able to Pick up on a native pace quickly So I just spoke at a native pace and they could understand me just fine But with adults who sometimes they need a little more I think also their mind just like you get confused or overwhelmed as an adult more In a way kids are just used to being constantly stimulated so It just takes practice to slow down Yeah alissa How is a podcast different from educational videos like on youtube is a podcast more on audio than visual? Uh, there's no visual to a podcast. Do you put your podcasts on youtube? We do I do upload them, but uh, there's just like a Basically a photograph on the back screen We we've been trying to transition to maybe a video version of the podcast, but it really is a You know a a platform for listening like that's what a podcast is and in its essence So we haven't put a lot of our effort into the the visual So we do put it on youtube because some people like to listen to it there But that's not really how it's supposed to be consumed. It's more of a of a listening thing But that also is why we have those pdfs to to help as well so If you want you can just listen, but if you want something a little bit more Then on our web page linked on all of our episodes, of course there's a pdf that has some questions and A computer-generated transcript and things that can be the visual if you need it if you want it, but you don't need it true That's right And pilavi asked teachers. Do you all like listening to the podcast every day? Well, they make their podcast. I will say do you listen to other podcasts? Don't don't promote them. Just I have a I have a pretty steady diet of like maybe 10 or 15 podcasts that I listen to regularly And so it's I do a lot of podcast listening for sure I do some not quite as much as jack, but I listen to a few I it takes me about one hour to go from home to the university where I teach And so that's a great time to listen to podcasts I'm just sitting on the bus or sitting on the subway And I could just be looking at my phone looking at memes on the internet But instead I like to listen to educational podcasts. And so that's that's when I do my podcasting I listen through a couple of podcasts, but um, I think that with my generation we tend to like visual like Visual podcasts like we watch them live recorded on youtube and everyone's kind of sitting around and there's a visual component to the podcast That they like pull up videos and things like that So Yeah, but I do listen to a couple podcasts All right, so all of you listen do listen to podcasts and you're not learning English. You're just enjoy that medium Yeah, but my favorite is still the a to z english podcast Of course Multiple times a week Alyssa is asking are your podcasts live or pre-recorded? Pre-recorded Yeah, we don't do we did do a live a couple live streams In the beginning we've taken a step back to offer Just another podcast episode per week instead of a live stream But it's it's pre-recorded and edited and Music is added and things like that. Oh, I will add that even though it's pre-recorded. It's a very Live style of speaking. We don't have a script that we just follow exactly so Right now us speaking is not much different from the podcast itself. Just you can listen anytime you want I think Both, uh, we got a couple comments saying both I and kevin are speaking quickly. We need to learn from jack Mine's just genetically. Yeah, there was no they're not doing anything genetically superior. I'm just a turtle apparently Yeah, I was born in new york and new yorkers speak speak quickly. Oh, I was born in the midwest. So there you go That's it. I was born in the midwest too, but uh, and I also grew up in kentucky So I should have like a slow accent but What happened to the southern drawl? And I'm from canada Whatever that means Yeah, whatever that means All right, I'm Oh, so layla's asking and do you Do you listen to your podcast?  I listen to some of the to the podcast from before I joined the the group I used to really enjoy their podcast the soul patch And uh, it's just nice to listen to them chitchat about different things I feel like uh, kevin and jack are really interesting They have a lot of life experience and a lot of experience teaching a lot of experience living abroad Um, so for me it was always really interesting to get some insight and before I moved to korea I really enjoyed listening to their podcast because their take on the culture was was interesting to me I felt like it was a lot more diverse than the typical superficial kind of k-pop type things that you might usually see so Yeah, I enjoyed that Oh, thank you. That's very nice. All right. Let's let's wrap it up here. So what's the name of your podcast? guys podcast Beginning to the end You gotta rehearse that a little more Yeah, the the a to z english podcast And uh, there's links below this video to check them out. It is Certainly an excellent excellent way to improve uh, your english listening and learn all kinds of different things about The english language and of course we have three wonderful hosts There you go that confirms it you have two wonderful hosts Who's who's making noise Sorry Okay Thank you for coming on the live stream today and thanks for having us. Yeah, thanks for having us. It's good to see you anytime I I think a lot of my audience is going to be in shock. There's four native speakers chatting here With different accents at levels, but thanks a lot. So, um Again links below check them out and uh Enjoy the whatsapp group and you can talk to them directly. Yeah comment. I'm not with us anytime All right guys, I'm gonna get I'm gonna kick you out. All right. Have a good night. Thanks. Thank you. Bye everybody All right, everyone. Wow, we had a lot of interviews today I'm gonna go back To the aisles questions. If anyone has any aisles questions, I can answer the aisles questions here if harry's here Is there any certain point that says we are ready to take an aisles test? We know that the aisles test is not cheap.  Thank you so much Well harry the aisles test is Is checking your level so if you You know, there is no pass or fail on the test. It's just checking your level So if you need the test for something Then probably you might need, you know, whatever you need it for immigration a job or going to university The aisles test, uh Usually you might need a aisles 6 6.5 7 7.5 in that range the top score is band nine Uh If you do not need the aisles test you should you could still study the aisles it helps your english great But you if you are trying to get a score you will kind of know Your level through a practice test things like that, but Don't think of it as a pass or fail test because if you get aisles four That's great. That doesn't mean Fail Uh Tadashi, can I get a scholarship for my study by giving aisles exam? There are scholarship opportunities around the world. I don't have the details now, but of course The better your aisles score Uh, the better opportunities you'll have Puna I'm sure how can I correct my pronunciation skills? A lot of people think they have terrible pronunciation. They self Diagnose themselves as having terrible pronunciation But actually I find that a lot of people's pronunciation is Fine. It's great. I can understand every word they say So If you do have a serious pronunciation problem, then there's things like shadowing or you know Mimicking watching a movie and mimicking, uh, your favorite actors speaking, but the most part Rarely do I meet someone who has a really severe pronunciation problem? A lot of people just don't have confidence. So I would say to you punam I don't I'm pretty sure your pronunciation is better Then you think all right. I'm going down here if you got any questions The grammar detective, uh, can you can you come on? Can you come on to the live stream? Let me know grammar detective Robin this interview is too short. Can I know why? Well, you know, we can't always have one-hour interviews with uh, james Tail and be I want to know how to improve my english skills Study every day get active. We have a whatsapp group. We have many channels. We're always here. We're always around to help students But students, um Don't take advantage of all the opportunities. We are giving them for free. We are giving a lot of great Opportunities in the whatsapp group and other youtube videos to help Students And they don't take that they don't take that. I don't know why They just keep jumping around the internet looking for the easy way You're never going to learn english. You got to focus There's a lot of great teachers in our whatsapp group A cash whatever they talk at just 20 minutes might it take two days for me. They're so fast speakers. Yes, they were That's that's that's the level you need to get to if you're going to america or the uk or another english speaking country What is the best way to get rid of spelling mistakes when we write by hand not typing on the keyboard? That's a tough one sleepwalker because you know everyone even native speakers have Terrible spelling these days even me. Uh, it's it's just practice Writing, you know, if we have an electronic device that they have autocorrect or You know, they'll show us a mistake. But if you're writing by hand, yeah, you you need to keep writing by hand Keep a diary and keep writing by hand So you learn the proper spelling experience I'm wondering who is the grammar detective. I will bring on the grammar detective. Maybe next week or today if he's around the grammar detective is Uh Another teacher in the whatsapp groups. He's not in the same group as you may but he is in the other group They rarely Penna Ramirez. I know a lot of things english, but I'm afraid to speak. I don't know why are you afraid? I'm always sad because Students are shy or scared to speak Don't be scared Is not necessary to read different types of topics even if I don't enjoy some of them Well, if you're going to take the ads test, you got to be exposed to all kinds of topics if you're just learning english Focus on the topics that you love Teachers a good idea to think how do I sound more like an english native speaker? What do you think? Uh, again, you don't need to sound like a native english speaker Like if you're not going to america and you're not going to uk you can become fluent in english But you don't sound like me. You can have your regional pronunciation or accent. That's fine Uh You don't have to sound like the people in your favorite hollywood movie So uh palavi. I think you know everyone wants to sound exactly like an american And understand american culture and like no, you don't need to do that. You don't need to do that Robert, do you have beautiful handwriting? print printing How can I describe printing no, but my cursive when i'm connecting the letters looks okay Have you taught aisles for students 101? Yes. I have extensive experience teaching aisles one to one extensive experience teaching TOEFL one to one alt opic One to one TOEIC one to one. I have taught every test one to one I used to do a lot of tutoring to business people students Lots of experience Uh, can we use a list is that just asking a general english question? Can we use the phrase having said that or that being said in essays? No, those are speaking expressions Uh, no those are informal. You cannot use those in essays Yeah, I will hey folks mike. Can you come on if you join the uh If you join the uh stream yard, I'll bring you on if you have time I'm just checking the Question the older questions.

That's his youtube channel Where you can listen to uh funny sound effects all the time As as you learn english Are you married? I am not married I am Uh, mike, I notice you keep a very late schedule Uh, you are a night owl. Is that correct? I am and now that I switch to doing content all the time I stay up much later so Doesn't that disrupt your wife's? Sleeping habits if you're busy in the other room Make not one bit not one bit or perhaps that's preferred Yeah, I mean if anything late at night, I'm always editing and during the day I shoot because at late at night. I don't have the energy to shoot a video So I like even I've tried it before I don't have the energy Late at night and you can see it on camera So that's why I'll shoot during the day when I have the energy And then edit at night. Do you do you have a lot of outside noise leaking to your studio? Yeah Like neighbors or motorcycles. I don't you're at a quiet place Yeah, I think it's also because I'm in the center of my apartment complex And so we're further away from the road. So not as much dealing with cars Uh, but then also I guess with the microphones I use as well. They're pretty solid Mike and what what floor do you live on? 21st 21st floor. Mm-hmm. And what's your address? It's uh is Have you ever felt like an eight Well, I'm gonna be honest we Well, I'm gonna speak for Mike too. We are aliens. We are aliens here and we are Not fully Assimilated or We do stick out in crowds and people do still Stare or treat us differently So, um Koreans are you know, there's still not so much so many foreigners here Right That is correct. That is correct. So yeah, we still stick out all the time Mike do all your students love you so much? Uh, I think they kind of like me Sort of kind of Sort of kind of But uh, why would they not like you? It's really funny whenever I have to become strict. They're very surprised But most of the time just very like Just however. I am with you all. That's how I am in the classroom too Like the same way. Can you turn on strict Mike right now?

Throughout all of the ancient medical classics and traditional Chinese medicine, there has been one principle that is the bedrock of longevity and wellness and really living a long and healthy life. Now, in this video, I want to discuss what this principle is and how you can apply it in your daily life so that you get well and you stay well. Hey guys, I'm Dr. Alex Hine, Doctor of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine and author of the health book, Master of the Day. Now before we jump into this video, I've put together two very important links right below this video. The first is if you'd like to become a patient of mine locally in Los Angeles or virtually via telemedicine, you can contact my private practice and clinic right below this video. The second is I've put together a free guide, which is for you the rituals that can potentially help you add years to your life with traditional Chinese medicine. So check those out. Now when we go back to the ancient medical classics of traditional Chinese medicine, like the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, one thing that we see a lot is the reference to this concept of the free flow of Qi and the belief that these ancient doctors had that the way to wellness and the way to health is unobstructed free flow of Qi and circulation in the body. Now unobstructed flow in the nervous system to me looks like a person who's calm and at rest and they're not experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression or heart palpitations or sleep issues. To me free flow of Qi in the digestive system looks like someone who eats and doesn't have any discomfort, no upper GI indigestion or reflux or excessive burping and no lower GI excessive bloating or irregular bowel movements. To me free flow of Qi in terms of hormones looks like a woman with a regular menstrual cycle around 28 or 30 days who bleeds for three to five days and the blood is pretty unremarkable. It's consistent, not too dark, not too light, not too clotty. And in terms of overall health, free flow of Qi in terms of the human spirit is someone who is able to sleep well and has a relatively balanced and calm mood day to day. Now obviously that's not a lot of us, right? Day to day life places a lot of demands that make it hard to sleep, that make us feel anxious or feel depressed or not have a bowel movement for a couple days or be regularly irregular. But ultimately the free flow of Qi we can see in many of the symptoms and many of the dysfunctions that we have on a day to day basis. But how do you number one assess if you have that in your body and if you don't have that? How do you treat that just in the way that you live your life? Let's talk about that a little bit more. Longevity in life is all about flow. Now that flow can be this kind of non mystical flow. You know I don't inherently view Qi as some kind of mysterious energy. I view it as ancient practitioners observe, for example, when someone feels intensely anxious like a panic attack, there is sensation, an upward rushing sensation in the body.  Like chest, maybe heat in my face, sweaty, clammy, shaky, I feel panicky, like my body is going upwards. That upward rising Qi, ancient doctors sometimes called upward surging, right? And so upward surging of Qi didn't necessarily mean that a mystical energy was shooting upwards but that clearly there is sensation, there's a massive overwhelming sensation of this in the body. And because what this is, no one really knows, but it is a palpable sensation inside the body that probably is the combination of stress hormones related to the way your body regulates temperature, right? People will have hot flashes with panic attacks, issues with the nervous system, right? Heart palpitations. So in reality, Qi may purely be a complex interaction of many systems in the body on the more material physiological level. But ancient people observe this, right? Because panic attacks have always existed. So they knew this sensation, but maybe they did not know what it was. But that thing in some medical cases, they called that was Qi. Now if you live your life in a way that produces too much tension in the body, this Qi can produce a sense of Qi stagnation. Now this Qi stagnation is almost the sensation where you really want to yell at your boss or yell at someone, but something is forbidding you from doing that. And so you feel this, but you have to contain it. You can't yell. You can't exercise. You can't shout. You can't fight. Your body is creating a pressure and you have to hold it in. It's like the teapot is boiling and you leave the lid on and it's just boiling and it's pushing. It's creating pressure. Now that pressure can create disease over time. That Qi stagnation creates pressure in the system that can come out in any number of organ systems. One of them we see is typically the gallbladder, the Xiaoyang organ system. Lots of people who have very, very high stress jobs, even sometimes with relatively okay diets, will develop gallbladder issues. Other people Qi stagnation affects the menstruation, right? Women begin missing cycles. They stop ovulating. They are very irregular cycles. Other people develop migraines or headaches. Other people develop palpitations, insomnia, etc. So when there is not that free flow of Qi, when it's going this way, the water is moving and it hits a dam and it's supposed to be going this way. It goes off in ways that it is not supposed to and it enters little corridors where it's not supposed to be and that can be one of the pathways to disease. So what is letting go have to do with all of this? What is Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu, the writer supposedly behind the Dao De Jing? Why was he talking about simplicity and compassion and peace and stillness and breathing all the way into your heels? What was the point of all of these things? The point is that a lot of what we do in modern day life, day-to-day life really, is pushing. We are pushing the Qi body. We are pushing the physiology. We are pushing the Qi dynamic. We're pushing the nervous system. Be flipping through my phone on Instagram. This is not rest, right? Watching Netflix, flipping through my phone, typing on the computer. This is not rest. This is activating the nervous system, utilizing the Yang Qi of the body. This is creating pressure in the system. That by itself doesn't produce disease, but you throw that in to a stressful commute. A long workday, deadlines, not sleeping enough, coming home to kids, a poor diet or too many cups of coffee to get you through the day. Now you're creating tidal waves of imbalance in the body.  It's creating all these little unnatural river banks and these little clusters of dirt and debris. It's damned up over here and there's too much flow over there. One of the best ways that I've seen to make this smooth again is really letting go. So much of the desire to achieve our goals, to have the finances we want, the goal we want, the spouse we want, the physical body we want. It's all pushing the body in a certain way. You can push the body to no ill effect, but there is an upper limit. When you hit that upper limit, you produce some of those dams in the Qi dynamic. Those dams create that Qi stagnation. That stagnation eventually is the seed of pathology. So sometimes if stress is one of your issues in a day to day life, understanding that learning to let go, whether it's, you know, I've been working so hard on having my dream body and I'm really disappointed because I've done this for 30 days and it's not happening, let it go. I'm in traffic in Los Angeles.  And I just want to get home. I just want to go home and have a glass of wine. Let it go. I've been working so hard and I have student debt or bills I haven't paid or my kids are just running around and causing messes. Let it go. Let it go.  So if stress is one of your issues, have the mantra of let it go and you can prevent those kinks happening in the system. I hope that helps you guys. A lesson of not only ancient medical wisdom in terms of the flow in the body is what prevents disease and maintains health and also a simple practice that can help you day to day life. So check out those other related links in the free guide below and I'll see you guys soon.


Hi, I'm Zeynep and I'm 24 years old. Before I moved to Tilburg I was living in Istanbul, which is a very beautiful, sunny and friendly city, as Turkey itself overall. Here in Tilburg I'm studying Language and Communication Research Master's, which is a two-year master's program as different from regular one-year master's program. This is because it's a research master's program and the emphasis is really on research.  It's really good in that sense and what makes it special is also as different from other research programs in Holland or in another country is that it offers you a very wide range of subjects to study, especially to specialize in different things if you still don't make up your mind about what you specifically want to focus on while you're doing your master's. For example, before I came here I mostly studied applied linguistics and generative linguistics, but when I came here I realized that there are many, many other areas in this field like cognitive linguistics or computational linguistics and it offers you all those opportunities to explore more what is out there in the field and there is a lot of emphasis on research and very high-quality researchers and very much publications and research is going on here. Therefore, if you are really interested in research as well as doing master's, I would really recommend this program to you. Overall, Tobrik University has been a very good choice for me. I'm very satisfied here with what I found and especially academic staff. I'm very happy with people I'm working and with people at the department and at the university in general. They are very supportive and open-minded. They are very open to any kind of discussion and whenever you have a question or you want to talk about something, discuss something, you can go to them anytime you want. It doesn't matter if they're a PhD student or if they're a professor, they always make time for you and they're always very interested in you. They're always supportive. This really goes for support staff as well. Whenever you have a question about admission, how things are going or about scholarship, anything, you can email them or you can visit them in the office. They're always more than happy to help you and support you. You can really survive here with no problem in terms of language and when it comes to Tobrik specifically, although it is pretty small when compared to the city I was living in Turkey, Istanbul, still it has a very wide range of activities. It's offering you there are many museums you can visit. There's theatres now as you can go to or you can make any course you want, let it be painting or anything about music and sports. Sports life is really good, I should say, especially at the university. There are many, many varieties of sports, climbing, hiking, skating, whatever you would like to. So overall it's a very good student city, I should say, with nightlife or with social life. You can have many opportunities to entertain yourself here. If you would really like to study here, do this program, study in Tobrik University. My suggestion would be that you start your application process very early, especially writing your motivation letter, preparing your papers or documents very early so that you don't have any problem meanwhile. But I also highly suggest that you contact people whenever you have a problem, like people in international office or in any support staff. You can just email them, you can ask them about any point which is not clear with you and they're always more than eager to help you. So I suggest you start everything early and never hesitate to contact people here.


Hello everybody and thank you so much for joining me here again today. My name is Cody Byer, program manager on the Visual Studio for Mac team here at Microsoft. Today, we're going to go over some of the improvements to the code editor in Visual Studio 2019 for Mac that allow you to take advantage of some new advanced features that help you write better code faster. Let's get started. As you can see here, I have a to-do to add some IDs to this mock data set. Now, I could type them seven times or I can do find and replace, but there may be instances of names somewhere else within the code file. So, I'm going to use a new powerful feature, a Visual Studio for Mac called multi-carat editing. Multi-carat editing does is allow you to edit multiple lines at the same time, either using common keywords or by placing cursors manually. I'm going to place the cursing manually in each of these new items to add an ID field. To do this, I'm going to hold Option Shift and click on each area where I'd like a new carat. As I'm doing this, you can see that with each click, a new carat appears as a blinking cursor. Now that I have all the carats I need, I'm going to go ahead and add the code. Perfect. I now have the code I need, I was able to edit all those lines at the same time. Let's check out some other new features of the editor in Visual Studio for Mac. One new feature is the ability to automatically wrap lines that exit the viewport. So, this is called WordWrap. To enable this, I'm going to open up preferences and enable WordWrap. I'm also going to show visible glyphs, so I can see which lines are wrapped automatically. As you can see, the lines are now wrapped and I have visible glyphs showing me which lines are wrapped automatically. This is also done dynamically. So, as I change the window size, we also get a change in the WordWrapping. This is a great feature if you often change the size of your window but want to keep all your code in the same view. One of the great characteristics of the new editor in Visual Studio 2019 for Mac is it's based on the Visual Studio 2019 for Windows Editor. That means that we get new features at the same time as our Windows counterparts. Let's take a look at some of those features together. One of these features is that we now have the same code analysis tools as Visual Studio for Windows. Let's take a look at how that works. So, here I have an error. I cannot find the definition of people within my item class. So, let's see what we can do. I can type this in manually or I can see if there's a quick fix available. So, by hovering over people, I see a light bulb here on the left. This light bulb has the error indicator, which to me means that there's something that needs to be fixed for my application to compile. I'm going to expand it and see that I have an option to generate variable people. So, I'm going to click on Generate Property Item.People, and that is going to add the property I need to build my project. Let's see if that works. In addition to being based on the same editor as Visual Studio 2019 for Windows, the editor in Visual Studio 2019 for Mac is also native to Mac OS. What this means is that you get access to all the features of Mac OS within the editor. Let's take a look at a few of those. One of my favorite features is the ability to use native input methods and emoji support. So, let's add a comment saying that we finally completed this class. By doing the common keyboard shortcut in Mac OS to enable the emoji selector, control command space, I am given the ability to add emojis directly to my code. Everybody's favorite feature, we all need more emojis in our life. Perfect. We added that. Now, a more functional feature native input support is the ability to quickly add access to characters. All you have to do is do a long press on the key you want to enter and the Mac OS character selection screen comes up. Here, simply click the number that corresponds to the character you want and it will be added to your code. Additionally, the new editor has support for right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Persian, and Hebrew. To use right-to-left characters, all you have to do is type in the right-to-left string or paste the right-to-left string and the editor will take care of the rest. Let's add a comment that says welcome to the editor in Arabic. I'm pasting in the comment and as you can see, it immediately detects that it's a right-to-left language and reverses the comment to start on the right side. With right-to-left support and bidirectional tech support in the editor, you can ensure that all languages are supported in any context. Today, we explored some of the new features within Visual Studio 2019 for Mac. This included native input support, support for right-to-left languages, bird wrap, and multi-cared editing. If you'd like to learn more about Visual Studio for Mac, please check out aka.ms slash vsmacdocs or join us for the next video in our series. Thank you.


A hierarchical metamaterial manufactured through fused deposition modelling, FDM, is proposed in this work which exhibits simultaneous acoustic and mechanical energy absorbing capacities. The metamaterials absorption bandwidth increases with the growth of the hierarchical order with an ultra-broad half-absorption banned from 0.96 to 6.00 kHz for the fourth order. The unique resonant responses are demonstrated through analytical, numerical, and experimental analysis, revealing the enhancement mechanism through impedance matching and resonant damping states. Compared with its original counterpart, the specific energy absorption of the first order and second order hierarchical metamaterials increases by 228% and 434%, respectively, providing an effective approach for designing multifunctional metamaterials.

Before the break, we were talking about the church being a place where God's presence dwells. We talked about the tabernacle which was made in the pattern of heaven and heaven's worship. We said that God's presence came upon the Ark of the Covenant and that's what made the tabernacle special because God would come to visit his people, God would come to meet and communicate with his people. It was really the presence of God which sanctified the tabernacle. The presence of God, we also use the term the glory of God. The glory of God would come into the tabernacle and that is what would be visible from time to time and that is what sanctified the tabernacle. Today, as God's people and his house, that's what we must expect our churches to be, a place where God's glory dwells, a place where God will come and meet with his people and minister to his people. We have seen the glory of God in the tabernacle that Moses built but as soon as the children of Israel settled down in the place that God showed them, Solomon was the person who built a temple for God so it was no longer a moving tabernacle but he built the temple of God and when Solomon built the temple in 2 Chronicles chapter 5, we read about the dedication of the temple. The priests came in and the people came in, they worshiped God, there was music, there was exaltation of God and what happened in chapter 5 of 2 Chronicles verse 14, we see that God's glory was manifested and how was God's glory manifested? So the presence of God came down as a cloud in verse 14, it came down as a cloud and it was so real, it was so tangible that people could not even stand in that presence. So God's glory was manifested as a cloud in the temple of God. So God has always revealed his heart of wanting to fill his house with his glory. So the tabernacle carried the glory of God, the glory sanctified, the tabernacle, the temple that Solomon built also hosted the glory of God or the presence of God and God was pleased to do that. So let's continue with that same thought. So wherever there is a house for God, God's glory comes in. So God is always interested in filling his house with glory. Now we know that Solomon's temple was destroyed by the Babylonians and at the end of the 70 year captivity you know you have the Jewish people going back to rebuild the temple and that rebuilding of the temple, it is interrupted for various reasons and it's a challenging time. So God sends prophets to speak his heart to the people to encourage them. So the prophet Haggai, he prophesies about the rebuilding of the temple and Haggai chapter 2 verses 7 through 9, I think I'll request someone to read it please, anyone? It's in our notes here on page number 99, page 99, Haggai 2 verses 7 through 9. Could somebody read it please? Can I read it? Yes please. And I will shake all nations and they shall come to the desire of all nations to fill this temple with glory, says the Lord of hosts. The silver is mine and the gold is mine says the Lord of hosts. The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former says the Lord of hosts and in this place I will give peace says the Lord of hosts. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Kennedy for reading that passage. So again, we very clearly see God's intention and what he wants to do for the rebuilding of the temple. Here's the word that God gives. He says I will fill this temple with glory. So where there is a temple that pleases God, what does God intend to do? Tabernacle, he gave his glory. Solomon's temple, he gave his glory. Rebuilding of the ruin temple by the Jews who returned. What is he promising? He's saying I will fill this temple with glory. So where there's a temple, we see God's intention. He wants to fill it with glory. So that's what he wants to do all the time. So let's keep that in our hearts. Now, because we're talking about glory, what is glory?  Because of who he is, he's able to do certain things and he does that in our midst. And that's what we are referring to as glory, God's glory. Who God is, his magnificence, his splendor. We sense that. As his presence manifests, we sense it. And we're in a place of reverence. We're in a place of awe. That is who God is. That is who he is. He's great. The heavens are his throne. The earth is his footstool. He's that sovereign God. So when we sense who he is, that's his glory manifested right there. So God is, when we study about the nature of God and who he is, there is so much to the nature of God. So it's not just one thing, but there is so much to the person of God. And the manifestation of who he is, is the revelation of his glory. So his invisible attributes are expressed. And that is what is the glory of God. And his glory is manifested in innumerable ways, innumerable ways. When we look at the tabernacle of Moses, people saw a cloud come down. They could see the cloud come down. It was a sight of great, great fear. When people noticed how God's presence came and took over the tabernacle. And when we study about the temple that Solomon built, again, the glory cloud came as the people worshiped and they wanted to dedicate the temple. So how did it manifest? The presence of God manifests as a cloud. But is that all? Is that the only way in which God manifests himself? No. But when we study about the glory of God and the manifestations of God's glory, there are many, many expressions. We see that our God is a consuming fire. So there can be a manifestation of the presence in the form of heat. Or he is the prince of peace. So there might be a sense of peace that we experience. But all of this is God manifesting himself. His presence is glory in our midst. And so for the natural mind, these things don't make sense. But because we understand from God's word who he is, what he is all about and what he brings to us, what he imparts on us, we can recognize. Oh, okay. I'm experiencing God's majesty. I'm experiencing God's peace. Sometimes I think we can't even put words to it and say what we are experiencing, but we're experiencing God. And so the glory of God is who God is and what he does in our midst. And we just have to be receptive to that. Whatever God is doing. And in today's time, have we all seen clouds descending as we worship God in our church services? Not necessarily. Okay, maybe it could have happened for some of us. But normally that doesn't happen. But we know that the manifestation of the spirit that can happen through the gifts of the spirit. So how does God manifest his glory? Maybe a prophetic word that is released as we are worshiping. As the leader, whoever is leading the service, they pray over the people. Some prophetic words that are released through that prayer, a declaration or a decree which is released. But that word, because it's coming from God, it carries the power of God. And that power of God will manifest the presence of God. It will manifest the person of God in the lives of the people. So how do we experience God's glory? Maybe we didn't feel anything. Maybe we didn't sense some heat or cold or sometimes people say, I can feel some vibration, this and that. Maybe we didn't feel any of that. But his glory could have been manifest through a song. It could have been made manifest through a spoken word. Things like that. In any which way God is able to manifest his glory. And the supernatural takes place. So us as believers, this is what we are looking for. We are saying, okay God, we've come together and we are your temple. But what is a temple without the habitation of God? What is a temple without the manifestation of the glory of God? So this is what we are after. And the truth is that we can have varying levels of manifestation. We can just say, okay God, your glory. We know about it. We want it. We have it to an extent and that's great. That's about it, finished, over. Or we can keep going deeper into the presence of God, into the levels of God's glory and the manifestation of his glory and see so much more of his glory revealed in our midst. Or, you know, excuse me, it's possible. The sad part is it's possible to have no glory at all. So there are varying levels of glory at the same time, no glory. And it's very unfortunate for a body of believers to keep going through the motions and not have the glory manifested. So we've understood a little bit about God's glory. You know God's glory, we can study it thoroughly. There are various aspects to it that we must consider. So one thing we saw is that God wants to fill the temple with his glory. But we also see in scripture that God has created human beings to manifest his glory or his nature to be made manifest through us. When he created Adam and Eve, you know, there was a certain glory that he gave them, okay, to live through that. But we know that that was taken away and, you know, people went on living their lives with sin. And later, even as Moses led the people through Egypt, there's a time when they sin and Moses pleads with God for forgiveness and all of that. In Numbers 14, verses 20 and 21, again, this passage is in our notes, page number 100. I would request somebody to read it, please. Numbers 14, verses 20 and 21. Anyone? Numbers 14, 20 and 21. Read. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 70, please go ahead. Thank you. Numbers 14, verse 20 and 21 says, then the Lord said, I have pardoned according to your word, but truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord. Amen. Yes, thank you. Thank you, Avni. So again, you know, you see that God is not wanting to restrict his glory. He has forgiven the people after Moses pleaded with him. And what is he saying? See, this is God's heart.  So God's intention in creating man is to fill the earth with his glory. That's what he wanted. He wanted his nature. The person he is to be expressed everywhere in the world, everywhere on earth. Okay. And he wanted man to do this. He wanted people to manifest his glory as they as people walk in the purposes of God, you know, as people walk in agreement to the will of God, what will happen? We will start manifesting the glory of God. So that's what God wants.  Every place in this world must experience who he is and what he is able to do. Now, just coming back to the glory of God and how hosting the glory of God really blesses the community of God's people. You know, we look at that. So here in the next section, we have a passage from Psalm 132 verses 13 through 18, where, you know, the Psalmist writes about what God will do where he is present. So in this passage, I'll go verse by verse. So he says, for the Lord has chosen Zion. Zion is a, like we use the term Zion, though it's a place and God's chosen people are called Zion, we as the church can call ourselves the spiritual Zion. So we are God's spiritual Zion. So I have chosen Zion. We can take this in our context. So God has chosen the church. He has desired it for his dwelling place. So he has desired his people to be his dwelling place that we understand. He wants to live among his people. So when he comes to live among his people, what does he do? Verse 14, this is my resting place forever. Here I will dwell for I have desired it. So it shows us that God is pleased to dwell with his people. It's not a matter of compulsion where we have to beg and plead and, you know, convince, persuade God, please come, please be with us. Instead, we see that he desires. Okay, and he is very excited about dwelling with his people. So he desires to make his people his resting place. Verse 15, when God comes and dwells in our midst, he says, I will abundantly bless her provision. So what can we expect when God dwells in our midst? Okay, who he is will come through. So he's already promised in his covenant names and said that I am Jehovah Jairah. Right? Jehovah Jairah means the Lord who provides. He provides. He has a covenant of provision with us. So when we host the glory of God as a body of believers, what can we expect? We can expect the blessings that come with it. We will have an abundance of provision and God is promising that we will be blessed with provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread again in the area of provision. But here what God adds is he says that no one will lack. It's like the way he led the children of Israel through the wilderness period. They did not have access to resources, but that was not a limitation because they had God. And what could God do? God could provide in the period of lack. God could provide in the famine. God could still bless with daily requirements, with whatever the needs of the people where God was able to give them that. So when we host God's presence and we host his glory, what can we expect? God is simply saying, I will be Jehovah Jairah. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. There will be nobody among you in need. God will miraculously begin to provide even the poor because I will satisfy with bread. So we can experience God's blessings in provision. Verse 16, it says, I will also clothe her priests with salvation and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. So the outcome of salvation, when we study about what salvation really means, sozo, that Greek word sozo means our saving, it means our rescue, it means our protection. It means our blessing, so many other things that come with the salvation of God. So God is saying that all that will be seen in our lives, his blessings, his protection and even salvation has to do with our eternal rescue, most of all. That will be seen in the lives of the people. And the community of believers will be rejoicing in God because we see that the saints shall shout aloud for joy. So these are the promises that God makes with regard to his presence coming in, dwelling in our midst and us hosting his glory. Verse 17, he says, there I will make the horn of David grow. So the horn usually refers to strength. When one is lacking in strength, you can't accomplish great things. But God is saying, when I am with you, when I come to dwell in your midst, even if you are lacking in strength, so the horn there, he says, I will make the horn of David grow or I will increase your strength. I will increase your ability. So God is able to do that for his people and the believers. Then I will prepare a lamp for my anointed. So a lamp for my anointed is again the glory being revealed, revelation of God being given to God's people and so on and so forth. So God's revelation will be there. God's leading will be there and God will do that for us. And then he also adds verse 18, his enemies I will clothe with shame. So that's the statement of victory. And we know that through Christ Jesus, he always leads us in triumphant victory anyway. But even in the old covenant, the psalmist has put down what God is able to and God is willing to do for his people, when his people host his presence, when they become the temple of God. So we will have victory. And in other words, it says here, enemies I will clothe with shame. But upon himself, his crown shall flourish. Or God is beautifying us. We see this in Isaiah, he talks about how he will shine on us, how he will give beauty for our ashes this morning. I think in the supernatural, somebody gave that word, oaks of righteousness.  And that's the kind of God we serve. So God is encouraging his people here, Zion, his people. He says, I've chosen you, I will dwell in your midst. And when I dwell in your midst, who I am will begin to manifest. And that is provision, protection, victory, revelation. Just the entire list of whatever God is, he will bring strength, salvation. So many things that he will make happen in our midst. So in other words, God's glory will be seen on us. Isaiah 60 talks about that. It says, arise, shine, where light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth and deep darkness the people. The Lord will arise over you and his glory will be seen upon you. So when we become the temple, God's glory. What do we start reflecting? What do we start shining the glory of God? God's people, God's house will start shining the glory of God. And that's how it's supposed to be. Okay, I see that Charles has a question. So we'll take that. Charles, you want to say something? Yes, Pastor. I am looking at the decision. The promises from the scripture that we are sharing. And when you are talking, you are like, think that what I am will be manifest to you. That I will, I will. And I was thinking about the seven I am in the book of John. I am the bread of life. I am the way the truth and I am the resurrection. I am this, I am this, I am this. Would they now... I am looking at them and I am trying to see whether they would connect with these seven I am, seven I wills in this scripture. Just it came in my mind as you talked. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. Charles, that's an interesting project. So will you take it up to connect and see whether... Let me take it up. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, maybe you can just do, you know, just list it out and see the I wills and I ams and see whether there's, you know, some overlapping there. Yeah, but thank you for sharing. I never thought about it, but that's true. And also I missed, in my excitement, I didn't mention the, you know, the words I will. So in Psalm 132, again, it's God being very definite and certain.  So I will. So God is not confused about that. He is sure that he is going to do all these things when we let him dwell with us. So that is what God wants to do. He wants. So ultimately, you know, if there's one key thing that we are taking away today, that is God wants to reveal his goodness. Okay. God wants to reveal his, his, his beauty.   And we've seen here that he is particular about doing it among his people. So in the tabernacle, in the temple, in the rebel temple. And he's also saying that it's not just restricted to the temple, but we have been created in the image of God.  And that is the heart of God. Okay. And so can we expect good things, great things from God, you know, in our, in our personal walk with God. And when we come together as a body of believers, certainly, because that's what God wants. You know, he delights, he desires to manifest his glory and his glory is who he is and what he does. And he only does good, right, for his people. And that is just such a encouraging, uplifting, comforting thought right there. Now let's look at the life of Jesus. Jesus also manifested the glory of God. How did Jesus manifest God's glory?  So Jesus is revealing the nature of God. What is the nature of God filled with grace, filled with truth? Is that a manifestation of his glory? Yes. Okay. It is a manifestation of his glory just by the person that the Lord Jesus is. He manifested God's glory.  And his abode, his dwelling place was heaven before he came to live here among mankind. So we know, you know, there are the passages like Philippians 2, where we read that he left behind his heavenly glory and he came to the earth. So there is a different glory which he carried in heaven. Okay. Or the manifestation of who he is. You know, that manifestation was different up in heaven. But we know that he set aside that heavenly glory and he came to the earth.  And we refer to that glory as the sonship glory. John 1 verse 14 says, and the word became flesh and dwelt among us. And we beheld his glory. Now this glory is not the, you know, the pompous glory of heaven. No. But we beheld or we saw, we intently saw a certain glory which this word became flesh carried. The glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. So there was the manifestation of a certain glory on the earth here. And that is what we are referring as the sonship glory. Okay. So he carried that and it was evident in the grace and truth that he embodied. Moving further, when we read about the way Jesus started doing the works of the Father. So the first time that we read about the manifestation of his glory is when he turned the water into wine. So John chapter 2 verse 11, when he did a miracle. Okay. The Bible says or John said this beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee and manifested his glory and his disciples believed in him. So the works of the Father and particularly here we see signs, miracles. That's a manifestation of the glory of God. So that is how Jesus manifested the glory.  So Matthew 15 verse 31 says. So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed, made whole, the lame walking and the blind seeing and they glorified the God of Israel. So they could connect. They could connect what Jesus is doing. It sits well with the nature of the God they knew. And so they glorified the God of Israel and said, Oh, okay, here is a man. He's manifesting the glory of God. How was he manifesting the supernatural signs, healings? We noted all these healings that took place, miracles that took place in people's lives. So in this way, you know, he manifested the glory of God.   Right. So, yeah, how do we manifest the glory? I think we've discussed that we can allow the spirit of God to work in and through our lives. When we release a prophetic word or similar to the way Jesus did the works of the Father, you know, healings took place, miracles took place. When these things happen through our lives again, you know, the glory of God is manifested. So we can carry and we can manifest the glory of God. Okay. So the next section here talks about a very sad time when the glory of God departed from the people of God. This is in the book of Samuel, when Eli the priest, his sons lived an immoral life and they were not keeping the commands of God. So at that point, you know, we see that his daughter in law, she gives birth and she names the child Iqabod. Okay. And Iqabod, that term really means the glory has departed from Israel. So because of a life of disobedience, because of a life of immorality, it's very sad when you start reading the book of Samuel. It says the word of the Lord was very rare. So there was hardly any manifestation of the person of God. So Iqabod is that the presence of God has departed, the glory of God has departed. And it was the lifestyle and the hearts of the people that caused the glory of God to sort of go away from where he really wanted to dwell. We've seen that God really wanted to dwell among his people, but they did not let God dwell in their midst. So God is sort of warning us, all these incidents in scripture are telling us that God really wants to dwell in our midst. He wants to see the manifestation of his person in different ways, but we can be people who stop, limit, restrict his glory from being manifest. So what did we see in the case of Eli, disobedience, immorality? Similarly, at a time when Ezekiel was prophesying, he also talks about how God says that I'm not going to enter. I'm not going to come into the temple because, can you imagine God wanting to be outside the temple? That is because of the disobedience and the wrong attitudes of people. So we do not want that to happen. God must definitely dwell in his temple and that is his intention. Even looking ahead at the future, we see that there will be a millennial temple. Ezekiel 43 prophesied and said that there's going to be a temple and he describes that glorious temple, where it will be, what direction it will face and the river will go out of the temple and this and that. But that temple also, as you read the description of that temple, we understand that God is going to fill that temple. The glory of the Lord came into the temple. So God wants to dwell in that temple and he wants to continue blessing the people. He wants to continue blessing the world. So that is God's heart for us. And we've been saying all along that we as God's people, as the body of believers, we are the temple of God. So we apply all this to ourselves that God wants to dwell in our midst. When he comes to dwell in our midst, all the evil blessings that we saw, that we will experience those. And we must also be careful and cautious because we said that there were times when the glory departed. There was a time when God did not want to come to the temple. He stood outside the temple. So we don't want that to be God's equation with us. So as God's people and with the coming of Jesus, in fact, God's desire to be with us is made even more clear. There are passages, Matthew 1820, where we see it simply says where two or three are gathered together in my name. I'm there in their midst. So God is not making it difficult at all for us to experience His presence. But we must be wanting. We must be desiring in that same intensity and passion for us to have God in our midst. So God is present. Even if two or three are gathered in the name of the Lord, He is present. And Paul, talking to the Corinthian Church, he said this, 1 Corinthians 5 and verse 4. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ. So when people are gathered together, God's spirit and His power is made manifest and God desires to do that for us. So as a household of God, let's continue to seek Him and let's continue to trust that God will fill our communities with His glory. Now, this is nothing new because the first century church had this experience. We talked about Jesus and we said He manifested His glory through the nature, grace, truth, and then later on through signs, healings, miracles. Take the same things and look for it in the early church. No, it was there. They were walking with boldness. They were walking with unity. They were walking in love for one another. So the nature of God is being manifest. There's truth, right? So wherever there is untruth, you see God showing Himself very strong on behalf of His people. And there's also judgment that we see in the first century church. We see that apostles and not just apostles, if you take, for example, a believer, a volunteer like Stephen, we are told about Stephen that he was a man full of faith and power, did wonders and signs among the people. So individuals are manifesting the glory. You have leaders manifesting apostles. Obviously, you know, they gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Just tell us that you had volunteers who were manifesting the glory of God. You had normal believers who were manifesting the glory of God, moving in signs, wonders and miracles. So great power and great grace was seen upon the first century church and that hasn't stopped. So we can expect the same thing in our midst. Of course, while Paul exhorts the body of believers whom he had nurtured in the Lord while writing to the Corinthian church, he tells them that you are the temple of God, don't you know? God dwells in your midst. So don't defile yourself. He wants them against sin. He wants them against things that will corrupt, pollute the holiness of the body of believers. So we must be careful. So what are the things that will keep God away from us? Sin, being disobedient, having the wrong heart attitudes. So all these things will keep God away from us. Instead, we can pursue God's presence and holiness because holiness is important. If there is no holiness, then we cannot have God dwelling in our midst. And that's what we see in scripture. He comes where he is celebrated with holiness. And the result of him coming also is that his glory sanctifies the temple. So that adds to the work of holiness that he will do in us. And as God's people, we must seek out for that. So some of the practical things here that we need to look at is, again, all the other topics. How will people know that they are the temple? The understanding of being a temple needs to be taught to the people. So when we teach that, yeah, hey, this is what God says. We are the temple of God and his spirit dwells in us. Then, you know, individually, corporately, people can align themselves to that word and start living that out. And the next practical thing is we must expect God to dwell in our midst. And when we expect God to dwell in our midst, all the blessings, the results of God being in our midst, we must expect that and God is able to make that happen. And equip every believer to manifest the glory. We talked so much about the supernatural. Now, for a lot of believers, once we accept Christ, maybe we don't have an idea of what this glory is, what the manifestation of this glory is, but, you know, we build people up by the spirit. So we teach them God's word, we teach them, you know, we equip them as a disciple and also as a minister of God. We manifest the gifts of the spirit and so on and so forth. So yeah, these are some practical aspects. And yeah, I think that should be some of the key things that we should address. Yes, Mangi, you have something to say. Please go ahead. Thank you, Pasta. I have a question. I think it's also, I think that's the confusion going to my head. Regarding the temple and the glory of God, you mentioned early on that when Christ comes back to reign on earth for thousands of years, there will be a temple. So the question I have is the new creation, the church is now a cross temple. He lives in us. When he comes back, why does he have to build a temple? That's question one. And second question is, if he is here with us and he is God, why do we still need to have a temple since the temple was a replica of what was in heaven? And now the God himself, God of all glory, Jesus himself comes down and then is the king on earth. Why do we still have to go to the temple to worship him? Thank you, Pasta. Yeah, thank you, Mangi. I'm not sure if I know the answer, but I can tell you as much as I know. So see the pattern of worship, which is established in heaven, for some reason, we've seen God do this earlier also. So the millennial temple is nothing new. The Habernacle of Moses, Solomon's temple, the rebel temple, and then now us, Emmanuel, God with us. So God became man, dwelt among us. That happened. And then once Jesus finished the work on the cross, we have the spirit dwelling in us. So we are regenerated by the work of the spirit and we have the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit in us. So yes, even right now, you could ask the question, why only millennial temple? Even now you can ask the question, while the Holy Spirit is dwelling within us, what is the need for us to come together as a church and God's presence to dwell there as if that's a temple. But I mean, I don't know why answer, I don't know, but that is the pattern we've seen God use all along. So now the church is that spiritual temple that hosts the presence and the glory of God and the pattern will continue mangy. So that's as much as I can tell you why I honestly don't know the answer to that. Okay, and you asked me another question. There was another question in there. I missed it. It was similar. It's called himself Jesus will come. He will come on the earth. My question is why do you still have a temple since the temple was hosting his glory when he was not on the earth. Now he is present on the earth. Why can we, are we not just going to worship him? And secondly, when he died, the Bible tells us that he took his blood into the heavenly temple to cleanse all the vessels once for all. So that's why I still don't understand why we need the temple. Okay. Yeah, sure mangy. One thing that I can think of is see even right now the worship that goes on in heaven it's continuous because God is that worthy. Okay. And I don't think we can ever overdo worship. So why the temple because he is worthy of worship.  And that's the only thing that I can think of mangy. I don't have any additional point to that. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Right. Yes. Yeah. Thank you rose for giving us that reference of the new Jerusalem. Revelation 21 in verse 22. Is that a question along with that rose or you just shared the reference. No, I don't know pastor if that relates to mangy's question. It just reads that I'll just read it out faster. But I saw no temple in it for the Lord God Almighty and the lamb are its temple. So that's Revelation 21 22. But I guess that's in heaven. I think this you're talking about the new Jerusalem right. Yes. Yeah. So the new Jerusalem. I don't think that's heaven because my understanding is that we'll have the millennial temple here on the earth. Right. And then you know God says that he's going to create the new heavens and the new earth. Does that relate to mangy's question pastor Revelation 21 22. It does relate mangy was more specific about the millennium. So that is why I said in the millennium there will be a temple. But yeah, after that, I think God himself will will.  So he is worshipped anyway. Right. So that's the point. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. And some someone raised your hand, but we've kind of run out of time. I just wanted to hint on what you said about pattern that whatever we see in heaven, the end goal is to see a replica of what is in heaven here on earth. When the Lord talked about a new earth and a new heaven, in other words, it's going to see what we know from scriptures on how the angels, people worship, we're going to see a replica of that on earth. And again, one more point again is that right now we're only spiritually joined with Christ. But in that time, both spirit, soul and body, we would see him. We would not see him in our physical body in our glorious physical body. So that's the difference where we need to have that kind of. It's more on pattern on what we see in heaven to be reflected here on earth like that. Thank you. Thank you. Say that's, you know, quite thought provoking. So physically, we'll see him. Right. So that's good. I think we will stop here. If we have more questions, let's take it up in the next class because you have another class to attend. I will pray and close right now. Anyone else who raised your hands, you know, please do come back with the questions next week. And we'll talk about it. So, Maggie, would you like to pray, please? And we close for today. Okay. Okay. Anyone else? I pray. Yes, please. Go ahead. Our precious father, we thank you, praise you, honor you for this wonderful evening. Sorry, wonderful, wonderful morning.
