I'm going to open to Luke chapter 10 and verse 1. After these things, the Lord appointed 70 others also and send them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go. Verse 17. Then the 70 returned with joy saying, Lord, even demons are subject to us in Your name. Somebody say amen. And He said, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.  And in that hour, Jesus rejoiced. God is a happy God. Jesus is not a sad, depressing God, amen. God is a happy God. And the Bible says Jesus rejoiced in the spirit. And so He just went ecstatic in His heart and said, I thank you, Father, the Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and reveal them to babes. I always tell my wife, babe, it's from the Bible. Even so, Father, this seemed good in Your sight. I just want to speak to you today authority through assignment or authority by assignment. In chapter nine of Gospel of Luke, the Bible says Jesus sends out the 12 disciples. They are the big shots. They're the apostles. And in chapter nine, the Bible says He gives them power over all the demons. But if you study disciples, they struggled with deliverance. Even though they had the power, do you remember how they had the power to cast out demons? But they still couldn't cast out a demon out of a boy. So disciples got the power to cast out demons and they struggled with deliverance. The 70 disciples, watch this. We know, we do not know their name. They're not part of the 12. They're not the apostles. Jesus in here calls them babes. And in verse three, He says, I send you as lambs among wolves. When He talked about the 12, He says, I send you as sheep among wolves. Meaning, you know, lamb is like a younger version of the sheep. So they were not the 12. We don't know their names. They were babes and they were not sheep. They were lambs, meaning they were little ones. And when Jesus sends them in chapter 10, He says, go and preach the gospel, heal the sick. He never gives them authority over demons. Jesus does not empower them with authority over the demonic. He only sends them to go ahead of my face, be like my interns. Just go everywhere where I'm about to go and get people ready. And if somebody is sick, pray for them and just be careful because the wolves might attack you. Meaning religious people, the government might come against you. Your society might come against you and just go there. And the Bible says they did not go to cast out devils. They did not go to exercise spiritual authority. They went to do their assignment given to Jesus. And lo and behold, authority kicked in. They didn't look for demons. They looked for the lost. But the authority was released. I want to speak to people today in this room, not to focus on your authority in Christ, but focus on your assignment to Christ. When you walk in your assignment, you will walk in authority. Even if your name is not known. Even if you are nameless. Even if you are a baby in Christ.  Meaning you just recently got saved. This whole thing is very new for you. You don't have a lot of knowledge and experience. You haven't read Bob Larsen's books. You haven't read Break Free or Fight Back, not yet. And so you haven't got those things yet. You haven't went through the freedom we can raise to deliver. And you're like, man, I'm a babe. I'm a lamb. My name doesn't matter. My name, I'm not known in the Christian circles. I'm very new at this. In the world I had reputation. In the world I had experience. But in here, I have very little. And I don't feel like I have the anointing for deliverance. I don't feel like I have the anointing to operate in the realm of the Spirit. I don't have them, my friend. If you commit to the assignment in Jesus, you will walk in the authority of Jesus. That's good. Hallelujah. Please. Yeah, the Bible did not mention their names. But Jesus says their names were written in the book of life. Even if the Bible doesn't have your name. Even if some other people don't remember your name. The question is not who remembers your name. The question is your name written in the book of life. Because that's where your authority is connected to you. My friend, your spiritual maturity does not increase your authority. Your authority comes from your obedience to Jesus Christ. Yes, it's true. It's good to read books on authority. It's good to go to seminars on authority. It's good to be equipped in authority. But there is something very simple and basic. When a child of God who just got saved a week ago, two weeks ago, and a babe in Christ, a lamb in Christ. Not a sheep yet. Not a mature man yet. Maybe they're nameless. They're faceless. They're still very fragile. They're not part of the elite or the spiritual cliques or gurus. But they say, Lord, I'm going to do what you call me to do. I'm going to tell my neighbors about Christ. I'm going to read my Bible. I'm going to raise my children. I'm going to love my husband. I'm going to love my wife. I'm going to do what God called me to do. And the Bible says, and they were surprised. Demons are subject to our story. Jesus, you didn't send us to do this stuff, but this stuff found us. Don't seek deliverance. Seek devotion to God. Seek commitment to God's will. Seek commitment to God's purposes. Somebody say amen. Say this with me. Say, my authority comes from my assignment. Say, my assignment is the breeding ground from my authority. Your authority is connected to your assignment. If you're currently as a Christian, feel like, man, I'm not walking in authority. I have opposition. I have attacks. I feel like I lost my authority. This, I'm going to ask you to ask yourself one question. Have you stepped out of God's assignment in your life? Have you focused so much on walking in dominion and victory, but you haven't focused walking in what God called you to do? Because God's purpose over you always has an umbrella of God's protection and God's supply. When a Christian fulfills their duty as a Christian, they automatically have an authority. It's like a police officer. When you are a police officer, you already, you have a badge and you will have a gun. Even if you forgot that gun in the police station and you forgot that badge in the police station, but having a uniform will be enough. You already walk with that confidence and with that authority. Now let's imagine, for example, you are not a police officer, but you want to impersonate a police officer. First of all, it's a felony. It's a crime. When a non-Christian wants to walk in spiritual authority, they are impersonating. It's a felony in a spiritual realm. They will always come under a heavy attack. That's why the sons of Skiwa, they were impersonating spiritual authority. It backfired against them. When you're not walking in obedience to God, you are impersonating spiritual authority. There will always be consequences. So the secret is not that you need to be perfect, you just need to be obedient, because authority is connected to obedience.  Do what you want to do and say, oh, I'm a Christian and so therefore I walk in authority. That's like me walking out on the street and say, I'm a police officer, why? Because I live in Pasco. No, no, no. I don't belong to that department. No, no, no. The chief of police did not release me. They did not give me the identification. Now I can buy the police uniform on eBay. I can buy the badge on Amazon. It does not make me a police officer. It does not make me somebody who has the authority. I will always walk with insecurity. And that's why what Everett said today, he did the meditation, all this stuff. But the spiritual world recognizes one name. The spiritual world responds to one authority. And that authority is the name of Jesus. Now, if I am really good liar and if I am really good fake person, I can fool one or two people in Pasco.  But that will only go so far. My friend, if you want to walk in authority, you got to belong to the department of Jesus. You got to have Jesus as your chief of police. You got to have Jesus clothe you with righteousness.  And then he gives you his power. But please understand, if you do not walk in obedience, and you will pretend to have authority, you will not have authority. Because that authority is given to people who walk in obedience. Not to those who are perfect. Let me say that again. Because some of us in here today say, but I still have shortcomings.  I still have certain issues.  I am not saying today that it only belongs to the shepherds. Authority belongs to the sheep. And authority belongs to the lambs. Authority doesn't just belong to spiritual fathers. It also belongs to spiritual young men. And it also belongs to spiritual babes. Authority doesn't just belong to people whose names are known on YouTube and who write books on deliverance. Authority is known by people who they're just called 70. Their names were not known, but it didn't matter. Because as long as you're walking in obedience, you will walk in your authority. Can somebody say amen? I want you to notice in verse 3, he said, go your way. So as you walk in your obedience, he says, I send you as lambs among wolves. Not a lambs among a wolf. Wolves. Plural. Now, and this at first will seem like people who walk in obedience to Christ. I want to correct a traditional thinking that is not scriptural.  That is not what this means.   But in the natural world, when you walk, when you and I walk in obedience to Christ, we are the lambs. Not the devil is the wolf. Who is the wolf? The government? Society? Your family? And a lot of times, people pretty much they will come against you. Religious institution. So religious institution, the government, the society and our family become the wolves. Why? Because when they criticize your hurts, who attacked Jesus? It was the government. It was the religious institution. It was the government. It was even his own family and it was the society. So Jesus is saying, as I walk in obedience, I am a lamb among wolves. Meaning I don't fight back the government. Now I can protest in the United States. I exercise my amendment rights and everything. But in those days, and even in our days, we are supposed to have a characteristic of a lamb when we walk in innocence and wisdom. Spiritual warfare, naturally. We take the beating when our family attacks us and criticizes us and says, you joined a cult. When the society looks at us and because we believe what the Bible says and calls us homophobic and calls us crazy and calls us people, oh you don't care about this and you don't care about that. We don't try to fight back the society.  Now the most important part to keep in mind when we get persecuted, the wolf in here is persecution not retaliation from the devil. The wolf in here is not all. I did a spiritual warfare. The devil is attacking me. No, no, no, no, no, no, my friend. The wolf in here is not a devil. It's the society that doesn't receive Jesus Christ. That will attack a person who walks in authority of Christ.  One of them will attack you. One of them will say things about you. One of them will spread rumors about you.  One of them will try to make your life difficult and sometimes God forbid all four. And we shouldn't be discouraged by this authority because our savior constantly was being bitten by wolves and he was the lamb of God. I'm not talking about demons. I'm talking about Pharisees. I'm talking about the government officials and his own family coming and saying this guy is going crazy. Let's take him home. And religious institutions and society was not very fond of him. As we speak right now every person in here has one of these wolves currently in their life.  It's illegal in your country to believe in God. And that's you being a lamb among the wolves. But I want to encourage you.   Well, the problem, if you're not paying taxes it's not the devil's attacking you.  Oh, I'm just being attacked. My family is attacking me. Well, your dad gave you a curfew at 9 o'clock and you came at 11. That is not an attack on your faith. That is an attack on your punctuality. That is a criticism. Why? Because you're not acting like a sheep.  You're not a sheep among the wolves.  Don't walk around and say, oh, I'm just being persecuted. I'm just being attacked. I'm just such a demonic oppression. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, my friend. If you don't live like a sheep do not start claiming this verse for your trouble. Come on somebody. But the part that I want to highlight is this. I believe, according to the scripture that Jesus does not promise us retaliation when we do spiritual warfare. What does that mean?  Somebody say nothing? By no means. Will hurt you. In the realm of the flesh we are lambs. We can be taken advantage of. And that's okay. In the realm of the spirit the same lamb becomes a lion. You're persecuted by the religious leaders but Jesus says you tremble. And the other one makes lions do. Lambs don't exercise authority, lions do. So you're a lamb among the wolves physically. But at the same time while you're being persecuted maybe misunderstood and criticized Jesus says do not forget you have a dual identity. One is a lamb and the other one is a lion. And do not stop attacking just because you're being attacked by people. I want to overthrow this myth the moment I walk in my authority the moment I fast and pray the devil will come against me hell will break loose. I know it's popular in Christian culture but I want to just pinch at it right now and say it's not scriptural. Jesus never in the Bible not once said or promised spiritual retaliation. He told us physical persecution not spiritual retaliation.  Oh I got nightmares now. Why? Because I delivered this person. That's not scriptural. There's a crack in your spiritual armor and who allowed that crack traditional teaching. You need to remove tradition and believe Jesus. Tradition teaches this.  Jesus says not that. He says you will tremble meaning you break. When you step on it you break its neck it can't move no more. It says by no means meaning it's not possible by no means it will hurt you again. So what is hurting me? Traditional thinking. Because what tradition did is tradition replaced the shield of faith in the realm of the spirit with a shield of cloth that can't catch bullets. Tradition cannot help you.  Come on somebody give God some praise right there for your authority in Jesus give God some praise right now for your authority in Jesus devil you can't fight back I can fight back you can't fight back why? and if the devil we say but the devil is fighting he always does fight but you have a spiritual armor in the realm of the spirit it's called a shield of faith faith in what? in what Jesus says that nothing by no means shall hurt you faith in what? that you have that armor as you sleep the devil will shoot stuff at you you won't even know why because you have that armor because you believe in what Jesus said instead of what your dad said what your previous pastor said or what other people said if you believe that exercising spiritual authority brings attacks I can tell you one thing about your life you're under attack in fact always under attack and your connection to that attack is this it's because I've been trying to serve God and you justify that Jesus got baptized in the water and then after that the devil pow attacked him Elijah brought the prophets and then the devil pow attacked him and I'm just like Jesus and Elijah I'm the third guy pow he's attacking me you believed a lie you will be attacked by people because that's part of the promise sheep among wolves but you will be attacking and Satan will not be able to attack back because the blows you deal you can't recover from those blows the blow of the name of Jesus the force of that name you can't recover from that after that devil cannot throw a counter punch after that it's your punch is weak but the name of Jesus is so strong he says you will tremble and nothing by no means somebody say nothing somebody say by no means will hurt me believe in that ever since I changed my mind about this we do deliverance conferences race to deliver conferences we sleep like babies our team doesn't come under attack you may say does that mean there's no attacks no it doesn't mean that life goes on the only thing we come under attack from is Christians all the time people say do you come under attack from the devils no Christians all the time why because Jesus promised we will be wolves we will be sheep among wolves and the wolves sometimes it could be a religious institution a government a society or it could be even our family so I just want to encourage you if you're spiritually under attack check your armor have you let cracks in memorize this verse rehearse it until it becomes true in your life you were destined to walk in authority if walking in authority creates repercussions then praying for healing also has repercussions if I pray for somebody and they get delivered and afterwards I get that demon attacking me does that mean that if I pray for healing I have the same sickness attacking me does that mean if I lead a person to the Lord does that mean the next day I'm going to be the same kind of a sinner that they were no of course not there's a protection in doing God's will a guy who can say you 50% or more on your car insurance but Jesus does 100% the whole 100% I'm going to quickly bring this to an end somebody say exercising authority diminish Satan's influence I want you to see this disciples came back and I want you to see what Jesus said he says I saw Satan fall now traditionally how that's understood is that he saw Satan fall when he fell from heaven this is not what Jesus is talking about I believe and a lot of other people theologians even who translate the Bible and they say application of this is this Jesus is saying when you were casting out demons I saw Satan fall from where heaven not the third heaven where God lives the second heaven where he ruled over particular regions and he was falling like lightning every time you exercise dominion now he didn't fall completely from the whole earth where he doesn't control the earth but the influence of his territory where you stepped in was being diminished because you exercise your authority every time you walk in authority Satan falls again he falls again not only in your life but in your territory because demons are territorial demons they like their territories that's why when the legion said to Jesus we're okay with leaving the man but don't let us out of this country that's why a prince of Persia a demon came to Daniel he tried to resist Daniel the angel that came to Daniel and said I fought with the prince of Persia he wasn't fighting a man one simple angel could slay thousands in his first second but the archangel were fighting a spiritual principality that's why Paul says that we fight principalities and powers when you walk as a babe as a lamb as a nameless maybe Christian in your authority satan's influence in the realm of the spirit in your family in your city in your region in your county begins to be diminished because you walk in authority somebody saying that number 4 bring Jesus joy by walking in authority the bible says Jesus was exuberantly joyful see God is a joyful God according 1st Timothy chapter 1 verse 11 God rejoices in his works according to Psalm 104 31 God also rejoices when a Christian person gets saved we know that a gospel of Luke chapter 15 God rejoices over Jerusalem but there is one thing that gives Jesus joy and that is when he sees babes battle when he sees lambs walk in authority when he sees the 70 walk in their assignment and they begin to cast out devils they begin to command they begin to decree and declare for those of you coming to our church maybe for the first time or the first few times speaking to the situation speaking to the sickness like it's a real thing because see authority declares authority speaks authority doesn't beg authority doesn't plead the police officer doesn't say please I beg you I implore you by the name of the police department of pasco could you roll down your window and then just give me a license if you want to if you don't want to I understand license and registration somebody's been a police officer somebody's been a police officer yeah there is an authority and he doesn't beg he tells he tells it the way it is now he's a human authority you are a spiritual authority that's why you will not understand these prayers that we pray until you understand the authority you have he says if you have faith you will speak to the mountain not ask the mountain not plead with the mountain not make deals with the devil but you will command why because authority changes your voice tone it changes your attitude it changes your approach you become a lion and the devil becomes a snake not the other way around you're not a little sheep and the devil is a wolf you're not a lamb and the devil is a lion you are a lion and the devil is a snake he's biting the dust and you are trembling over him somebody give God some praise somebody give God some praise hallelujah hallelujah God rejoices Jesus rejoices when you walk in authority you want to put a smile on Jesus' face rise up in your authority you want to put a smile in God's heart step into your divine authority stop playing a victim stop walking around like a spineless weak snowflake Christian realize who you are in Jesus Christ stop giving devil more credit that he already has gotten over your life he's been defeated he's been put under your feet and Jesus says I give you authority now what I love about this in this verse is the only time I see in the gospels where Jesus gives authority and after that no assignment every time he gave authority to disciples he always told them go cast out demons in here he gave them authority and no assignment because he gave them authority for life this authority is to live this authority is for everyday life as a mother everyday life as a father everyday life as a businessman everyday life as a student Jesus is giving authority for you to live as a person you're not on duty and off duty you are a police officer all the time when you sleep you have authority when you take in a shower you have authority when you wake up at night you have authority in the morning you have authority when you work you have authority you carry that you're never off duty he gives you authority because somebody say amen you give Jesus joy you give Jesus joy when he looks at us casting out demons when he looks at us commending those mountains when he looks at us walking proud as believers in his power of his name he rejoices he smiles and says that's right that's my babes over there that's my babes over there destroying your words that's my lambs over there in the eyes of the man but devil you know they're not lambs they're fierce liars they might be young but they are fierce they are bold they are courageous they are powerful that's my boy over there he puts a smile on Jesus' face when you walk in your authority somebody give God some praise and the last thing and we're gonna pray that is this the authority of the name of Jesus has been granted exclusively to believers in Mark chapter 16 the babes says those who believe will cast out demons in my name he did not say those who want to those who want to help people everyone had such a powerful conclusion and confirmation to that he wanted to help people that's not enough I also want to pull over criminals on the street doesn't give me the right to be a police officer okay I also want to see sometimes I see a person speeding and I'm like man I wish I wish they are breaking the law and they're doing it wrong I still cannot pull them over just because you wish and want and desire that's not enough it's exclusively to people who belong to Jesus so believers it's your right believers it's exclusively given to you his name is given to you you can use that name as a social authority it's not a magic name it's not a charm it's not some kind of a gimmick but when you are obedient to him as a person his name becomes your tool it works in our church a lot of times where somebody would come up somewhere else and say things like not in the name of Vlad but Vlad said when he could get you free coffee in the coffee shop but it can sometimes it can get you a lot of things in the church done but after a while if you're lying you're gonna not only get kicked out of the church your salvation can be questionable but if you know me personally if we are in a relationship and you go somewhere and you say Vlad said it's the same thing as if I said when you're in a relationship with Jesus and you walk to some all little crouchy demon and you tell him in Jesus name what you're saying is Jesus said you have to do and that's what demons will obey that's why many times what we see during deliverance you know a big old demon and we're very young and the demons will say oh I'm so good at you I'm so good at you and the more they glorify themselves that's when they're very weak already and then that name of Jesus like lightning begins to break that spirit begins to break those curses you got the name of Jesus let's rise to our feet every head bow and every eye closed we've heard so much about authority today we've heard so much about the power of the name of Jesus and we also heard how changing your life starts with you surrendering your life to Jesus whether you're watching me on live stream right now or you're physically in this building if you have not made a decision to give your life to Jesus Christ yet today is that day maybe your story is like Everett's story you're looking for power everywhere or maybe today you feel so powerless you feel so empty you feel so lost Jesus came 2,000 years ago he was God he died for your sin he rose again and he is soon coming again he wants to rule and reign in your heart he wants to forgive you of your sin it cost him his life to give you this free gift if you don't accept this gift the Bible gives a very severe warning you will stand before God and give an account God is a holy God he's not gonna put your sin under the carpet because he loves you his holiness won't allow that that's why Jesus died if you're saying Vlad I would like to give my life to Jesus today I would like to get saved 3, I'm gonna ask you to raise your head 1, hell is hard eternity is very long 2, Jesus is the only way to heaven the only one door 3, raise that hand high if you're saying I would like to get saved today just raise that hand high I would like to pray with you today Father I thank you Jesus I thank you you're watching us on live stream thank you I see your hand I'll wait for a few more seconds to give your life to the Lord today in Jesus name thank you I see your hand those of you who raise your hands pray this prayer with me right now I want you to say Lord Jesus I'm a sinner please forgive me of all my sin and wash me with your precious blood I surrender my life to you and from this day forward I choose to follow you wash me cleanse me and make me yours in Jesus name amen


Hi guys and welcome back to this video. So I have been wanting to make this video for a couple weeks now and I've literally sat down and started filming it like three times and Every time I do it just doesn't feel right and I just can't get across to what I'm trying to say and then I was like you know what I see you sit down and Talk about what's going on from an ICU nurse's perspective and kind of get my emotions and feelings out because I know a Lot of people are struggling it during this whole pandemic with COVID-19 So I want to kind of rewind and For background for people who don't know me or are new to this channel I'm an ICU nurse and I'm in Arizona and I've been working in the ICU for like the last four years almost But we're winding back to before COVID even like got to the United States I remember hearing the news and seeing it and kind of thinking like I'm not downplaying it But I guess you could say downplaying it in the sense that like I didn't think that it would become a big deal here in the United States And that was very naive of me and even when it started showing up in the United States I was thinking that it's more just like a flu like influenza and like it's gonna be fine And so I was kind of in denial at first and I think a lot of us healthcare people were and I don't know if That's just kind of like a coping mechanism of like we're I don't want to say invincible, but like we're I don't know like I'm gonna be immune to this. It sounds so silly, but I Was sort of in denial about how like severe this we could get and then it started getting worse and worse and worse here and my work place started to kind of prepare us more for it and It really started to make me very very anxious and I would say almost probably a little bit depressed especially when they started to like Recommend staying home and not seeing anyone and whatnot and I have to admit and This is why it's been so hard for me to share my feelings on this But I've really kind of struggled a lot with this whole thing going on Just my anxiety has been through the roof. I've been very very just anxious and scared and nervous And I've had two like really bad nervous breakdowns of just like Just feeling really scared and I think the thing that makes me the most scared is just being worried about going to work and potentially not having the appropriate PPE and being faced like put in a situation of like Taking care of others and like being a good nurse and co-worker and doing what I love to do and Also like protecting myself so that I can protect my family I have a one and a half year old at home My husband is immunocompromised because of a medication that he's on and it makes me very very nervous to think that I could put Myself in a potentially dangerous situation Which is then risking my like home life and I had to from the beginning just say like, you know what? As much as I love this job and I love being a nurse and I want to be a team player if it gets to a point Where it's so so bad I Don't know if I can put myself in a situation to put my family in harm's way And fortunately it has not gotten to that point where I'm at yet But I do know that there's been many many places in the United States who have had little to no PPE we're reusing PPE for several several days at a time and nurses and doctors and respiratory therapists and other health care healthcare people are Getting sick with this and they're really really really sick and dying from it and It it literally breaks my heart that like as nurses we're literally going into battle and we don't even have like Armor we don't have bullets. We don't have the appropriate equipment yet People are still showing up every single day and they're dying from it and I just want to be real with you guys I want to be honest. I don't want to like contribute to the panic but I want you guys to feel like validated in your like Feelings and emotions if you are struggling like I am with all this I feel like there's such a range of people when it comes to this pandemic There's people that are like, yeah, oh, yeah, whatever like I get it I get it what not or they don't think it's a big deal They think it's a hoax and there's people that are like super super super anxious and depressed and Nervous and just like not able to function in life And I definitely was like a heading more towards that side of the scale And then my husband actually was like listen like this isn't healthy like how you're coping with this and Like you can't be as good of a mom and a wife if like you are Getting so wrapped up in it and I was I was getting wrapped up in the social media And I've got all of like my following people like followers reaching out to asking me questions And I want to be there for you guys. I've got all my family reaching out asking me questions I've got the news on and it's telling me all this stuff I've got like my Instagram and Facebook and everyone's constantly posting about it and sharing information about it And honestly it got to the point where I just like I had to put my phone down for several hours a day And like limit myself to the amount of time that I would actually spend on social media because it was just becoming too overwhelming and I just felt so torn between like How can I be a brave example for my following? But how can I also be transparent that like I'm scared and nervous about this whole thing as well Like I don't want to put on this front of like I'm super brave like I'm not scared of this I'm going into this like we got this guys and then on the other hand be like yeah I've literally just had a nervous breakdown like crying panic attack because I'm Nervous and scared and I'm scared for my family and I'm scared for my co-workers And I'm scared to be put in a bad position to where maybe I won't have the appropriate PPE And I'm having to choose between Saving people's loved ones and like being a nurse and doing what I'm called to do But also protecting my family and I think everyone knows in the end Nothing at work matters if you don't protect your family, so I just want to share that with you all I want to encourage you guys to advocate for yourselves and make sure you're protected and Don't settle for anything less and this is a very scary time for a lot of people. There's so many Unknowns, there's just so much information out there And we just really really have to take care of ourselves and our families I kind of want to jump into talking a little bit about what I'm personally doing as far as like Going to work and coming home and making sure my family safe I've had a ton of people reach out saying that they have kids and they're wondering what I'm doing with Cali my daughter and in what not and We don't really have the option to send her away for weeks and weeks and weeks at a time That would also be very very sad for me as well Like if I just did not see her for weeks and weeks and weeks Especially because I only work two days a week So I have five days a week where I'm at home with her I'm very used to like being with her and she's used to being with me So with that being said that's not really an option I know there's a lot of people doing that and that's great if you can and you feel comfortable with that But I I can't so what I've been doing is I've been going to work and Right now if you have COVID patients They will give you a set of scrubs to change into at work So that way you can you know do your thing at work and then change out of them before you come home They're also opening up a shower at work. That wasn't open the last time I worked So people have the option to shower Before I leave work. I obviously I watch I'm changing my new skirt or my scrubs that I wore originally there Wash my hands really good. I wiped on my phone. I wiped on my stethoscope my badge anything that was like attached to me I'll like done the bottoms of my shoes even though I know I'm like walking out of the hospital anyways Then when I get into the car I make sure I wash my hands like hit sanitizer before I get in the car. I drive home in the garage I'm taking all my clothes off and Leaving my shoes in the garage. They have a separate like spot in the garage And I'll I saw them down I put all my clothes in immediately into the washer and wash them all Way on hot and I go into the shower and Take a good shower. I'm washing my hair. I don't normally wash my hair every day But when I work, I am like for sure washing my hair And I just really good hand hygiene also I've been like spraying down wiping down my bag my car keys anything that like went with me to work I've been wiping down my steering wheel and like the buttons in the car flick the radio and whatnot But like that's kind of it like I can you can only control so much in your life and that's what I was struggling with is just like I Have OCD and I really want to like try and control all these things and then when I can't control things in my life It really really makes me anxious and I think with this whole pandemic You kind of have this sense of like loss of control new routine. I'm very type A I like my routine and schedule and to have that kind of flipped upside down made me very anxious and It's getting better. I feel like I've kind of adjusted to like this new lifestyle so to speak but part of me still like Greaves the our old lifestyle being able to go to the store and like go to the park and all of that And I know it will come back and it'll get better And I'm thankful that both my husband and I have jobs Right now because I know this is affecting so many people in different ways and that some people aren't working I've been laid off and financially now. It's a struggle for them but I've just been rambling on what am I trying to say But yeah, this this whole thing has just kind of like has thrown I think so many people for a loop Oh control. That's all I got control I'm trying to focus on the things that I I can control like being cleanly and Wiping surfaces down in my house that are you know, high-touch surfaces switches handles Doing our laundry frequently washing our towels frequently things that I can control But I'm trying not to be too obsessive over it because that's one of my downfalls And I'm trying not to stress about the things that I can't control so I Think that's it. I think that's all I have to say I don't know I've been trying to like make this video forever and I just didn't know how to like Make it come across. So this is what it's gonna be. This is what it is and I'm just gonna go with it But let me know how you guys are doing in the comments below. I want to hear from you guys about What's it like at your workplace? How are you doing at home? What are you doing differently in your lives right now and just be supportive of one another? I would say that the best thing that's come from this situation is seeing how amazing and strong our communities are at like pitching in and helping out and just like Whenever there's something bad going on. There's always other people helping and making a positive So that's been such a great thing to see but anyways, I'm done rambling. Thank you for watching this video Make sure you give it a thumbs up subscribe to my channel and I'll see you guys on my next one. Bye


Listen to Herbert Marshall as the man called X. Wherever there is mystery, adventure, intrigue, in all the strange and dangerous places of the world, there you will find the man called X. He sweeps the length of the Dush de Margo, the desert of death in Afghanistan, and hurls itself against the camo skin walls of a sheepherder's tent. But the man inside is too intent upon his task to pay attention to the wind, the desolation, or the possible dangers that are lurking outside. This is 3-7 calling 5-2 in Kabul. 3-7 calling 5-2 in Kabul. Can you hear me? Over. This is 5-2. Go ahead, 3-7. Over. You must make a report to the Bureau in New York at once. Tell them the rumors of great danger to the entire world are true. The only hope of preventing disaster... Here's the report from this mailer, his contact in Kabul. You know the assignment Kagan Bey was on? Sure. Checking on the rumors that have been coming out of Siberia. Yeah. Rumors about a radioactive material called M5, mendelibid, a material more potent than uranium. Can't if those rumors are right, the Russians could stumble on the answer to the H-bomb. That's right. And suppose Russia got in the track of deposits of mendelibid oil in Afghanistan. Well, that could be an armed invasion. World War III. Yep. Then your guess is that Kagan Bey trailed Russian agents into the desert and learned they were after deposits of M5 ore? This is one time we can't afford a guest chief. We better know. Mr. X, taking me with you here to Kabul is one of the smartest things you ever did. Oh, thanks. There you go. Sure, I know these Jones like a couple of books. Well, so what can I do you for, Mr. X? How'd you like to dig up some information about M5? That's a sense. I'll find out all you want to know about M5. Who? Never mind. See if you can find anyone interested in the Dashi Margo. Anyone who's been on desert expeditions lately. Oh, sure, sure. Nothing to it, Mr. X. Then meet me here at the Camel Mart when you're through. But, but, but, Mr. X. See you later, Pager. But, but, but. Here, you're interested in some of these noble beasts of burden. I'm interested in a man by the name of Ismailah. Ismailah? I was told I could find him right here at the Camel Mart. And who was the low-born one who saw in form the offender? It could have been a certain Kogan Bay. This way, offender, if you please. Sure. So my message did reach the bureau in New York. That's right, Ismailah. Now, what can you tell me about Kogan Bay? What happened to women in the Dashi Margo? No more than what's written in the message to you, Effendi. He didn't mention something called M5, or the names of any strangers from the North? No Effendi, nothing. How soon could you get me out to the Dashi Margo? Ismailah has three desert trucks ready. Over there at the far side of the market place is where they will be in two hours' time. Good. I'll meet you there. It will be so. Bye, Effendi. Yeah, till later, Ismailah. Hello there, Mike. Greetings and salutations from a fellow American. And brother, am I glad to see you. Well, hello. I've been hanging around this lousy home for aged and infirm camels for two days, now waiting for you. I'm Brad Nelson. My name's Ken Thurston. What's this about waiting for me, Nelson?  Sounds like you were figuring on a trip to the desert. Well, that's where the Afghanistan government expects me to go. I'm an irrigation engineer. Gonna be pretty tough on me, though, to step on camelback. Brother. Too bad Ismailah was a couple of steps ahead of you. Oh, Ismailah's all right. It's this other character that's got my boiler busted. What character is that? The one you were talking to just now, the Russian's fair-haired boy in Afghanistan. What? Abdul Khan. Abdul Khan? Hey, you didn't know who he is. And you were going out to the desert with him? That's right. Well, there's only one thing I could say about that, Thurston. Brother. This mail is not in. What next? Why don't we just walk in? Man, just like that. Dirty floor, paper windows, flies. Look over there in the corner. Ismailah? It was before somebody practiced a knife thrown on him. Now why? Maybe this is the reason. That little chunk of rock? That's no motor for murder in my book. Wait, wait till I chop it in my hand. Look. So, now look at it through the crack between my fingers. Hey, that stuff gives off a little light. That rock's radioactive. Could be pitch-blamed. Uranium ore, something like that. Yeah, it could. Couldn't it? That is quite right. I am Abdul Khan. But Ismailah was my brother. And it is my wish to carry out the mission upon which he was engaged when his soul was taken by Mohammed. Then why didn't you tell me that in the first place? I feared that if the offender knew the true circumstances, he would object to this unworthy one accompanying him into the desert. You expect me to believe that story? It would be best if the offender does believe. Why? It is I who possessed the only half-tracks now present in Kabul. To obtain their services, one must also accept mine. Does the offender still desire to visit the desert? Okay, Abdul, we'll go. Don't have to worry about anything, sir. This Kaboojo is absolutely clean. Nobody even heard nothing about any M5. I am also ready for the journey to Dashti Margot and Schmidt's family. Go away, I'll talk to you later. But I do not understand. Oh, sure, sure. Don't mention it. A few rounds again sometimes. Go away. Wait a minute, Pagan. If the ladies come along with us, the least you can do is to show the baggage will go. But... How about the second half-track? It's not too crowded there. If her belongings are put carefully away, Sherida will see that you are properly rewarded. Please inform me when we are ready to depart. Oh, sure, sure. Well... Look, Mr. X, I can explain everything. Why bother? Well, anyway, she just wants to get home into her kins and folks and stuff, you know? She belongs to a tribe of wandering desert nomads out there. Just a simple little nomad. Oh, sure. Those manicured nails wearing perfume at $50 an ounce. Well, let's give her a baggage over to the half-track. You better correct right away. Anyway, these couple of suitcases or two won't take up too much room. Hold it, Pagan. Huh? That sound. Hear it? Hey, it's coming from this suitcase. It's a Geiger counter. Do you mean one of those things that tears when you're near uranium or stuff? Yeah. But what's making it click like that way now? This radio-active rock I picked up beside this mirror's buggy. Oh, but why should Sherida be carrying one of those things out to her relative? I don't know, Pagan. Unless maybe they live in Moscow. You sure got plenty of that there in personal fortitude, brother. Why say that now? Using Abdul Khanna, maybe Russian agent for a guide into the desert, taking along a double-talking doll carries Geiger counter around like mad. Oh, man. Why kick, Nelson? I'm taking you along, too.  I checked with the Afghanistan government. They're not conducting irrigation surveys in the dusty Margo, and they never heard of you. Man, that sure thickens the mystery, don't it? You know something, Thurston? What? With all of us suspicious characters along, I gotta hunch this trip's gonna be mighty interesting. Yeah. Mighty interesting. Brother. We'll return to the man called X in just a moment. The National Association for Mental Health says mental illness is a coin with two faces. One side is despair. The other side is hope. The hope of the mental patient when he finds himself in friendly, attractive surroundings. The hope of the anxious person when he discovers a mental health clinic. Now remember, the other side of the coin is hope. You can make that hope brighter by cooperating with the groups in your community that are observing Mental Health Week. And now act two of the man called X starring Herbert Marshall with Leon Belasco as Pagan Zelchman. Rumors out of Siberia. Rumors about M5, a radioactive material that could be a trigger for the H-bomb, and the bureau agent assigned to the case is murdered in the desert of death in Afghanistan. And now it's up to Ken Thurston to find out why. We have come to the end of our journey. What's so special about this place, Abdul? Those rocky hills, a kilometer to the east. It was there that Kogan Bay was murdered. Then why not drive on up to them? Those rocks have held their secrets before the time of man. Abdul Kahn will not disturb them. He has no wish to join Kogan Bay or Ismaila and fell like a lap like the highest heaven. And you think that's what will happen to anyone who goes up there? Why does not the noble attendee discover for himself? Yes, why not? You stay here and watch the half-crack. Nelson and I are going to the hills. How do you like that? Cracked me all the way out here just to sit. But why do you want me to do this for anyway? So you can report back in case Nelson and I don't return. Oh, that's the... You don't return? Oh, no. Cracked it out here in the middle of nothing. It's dark already. Oh, f... Elshni, it's a fendi. Who? Who's that? It is only I, darling.  Oh, for a moment I was afraid that... Well, well, what are you doing out here, baby? Perhaps you will think it forward of Sherida, but I was so lonesome at the camp without you. Ha, ha, you were, eh? Well, ha, ha, ha. Well, coming over closer, baby, there's no such thing as a long distance smooching with lover-boy Zell Smith. Ha, ha, ha. I would be most honored to come. The most came up with huge gobs of nothing, Mr. Thurston, rocks, sand, and a couple of hunks of this old beat-up pottery. Careful, Nelson. Some of that pottery could be older than history. Eh, that don't make no never mind of me. I'm looking for the future, not the ancient past. You might as well face it, Thurston. Brad Nelson slap-happy about money, and nothing else. Yeah, I guess you are. Oh, well, it's too late. Too dark to look any longer tonight. Let's get back to the halfway. Thurston! Hey, that's our desert buggy. Pull it out. Yeah, let's go. You didn't hit you that hard. That's what you said. Well, it looks like we got one of our enemies pinpointed anyway, Thurston. Maybe. But why else would she give Zell Smith the works and make off with that half-track? Why not ask her? I will. As soon as we get back to camp, I'm going to... You were saying, Nelson? Thurston, the camp, it just ain't. Hey, hey, he's right. That's what we left Abdul and Sherida and the trucks and stuff, and there's nothing there. What else did you expect? What, what? Man, some lash up. Stuck on the desert of death on foot, no food, only the water in our canteens and the sandstorm coming up. Yeah, I guess that's about it, Nelson. Thurston, Sherida, it has been done. Allah has blessed our endeavors and the prize has become ours.  If you think it is all as simple as that. No other answer can be written, Sherida. We have been waiting in this roadside tea house for over eight hours. By now the sandstorm has blasted the desert clean. Perhaps. Look, you're going somewhere. To my room, I have been paid. My work here is over. Masa unher, don't attend me. You weren't the only ones who knew about this Shahi Khanah. We were just about able to make it. And now that you are here? Maybe you've got some ideas. Look, attend me, all that has happened is not what it seems. Sherida, I had no intention of harming you. No, you put on a pretty good show. That was Abdul. Abdul is the one who... Here. You know what this is? A Geiger counter. So what? Take it. The half-track of Abdul is behind the barn. Within, you will find specimens of ancient pottery and statues. Use the Geiger counter upon them and note well the results. This could be a trap, Sherida. Yes, Efendi. It could be. Okay, I'll find out. Why are we hanging around this coffee joint anyway, Mr. Rex? Those jokers in there would cut your throat for a rice bowl without...  Yes. The one Abdul was driving. Some interesting pottery specimens here, Pegah. I want to check them. But, Rex, the Geiger is counting. Yes. But why should that stuff get all hearted up? Because of some radioactive material hidden inside. Maybe uranium. Maybe M5. Look, Mr. Thurston, why are we monkeying around on top of this rock pile out here in the desert? There's nothing here but some old broken-up vases and vases and vases. I thought I saw something with Milton and I were up here earlier. Underneath this rock. Is there a hole in the ground or something? Let's get the rest of these rocks out of the way. Oh, sure, sure. Oh, what we've been looking for. There's a regular mine tunnel underneath this desert. What's for anyway? Gold? Something a good deal more valuable. Here. In this tunnel wall. So was there to see nothing but a six-foot strip of black mud or something? Look a little closer. You'll see lights in it. Green and blue. Hey, hey, that's right. What is it anyway? Come to me, give us the answer. Then, then we found the M5 stuff. If it isn't that uranium or radio more. It ain't just whooping. Move! Although Nelson's been working pretty fast, haven't you? Man, I had to. Keeping up with you is worse than hanging on the tail of a cyclone. You sure make it tough on a guy. Brother. Boy, am I ever glad to see you. Oh, for a minute, I thought maybe you were one of those foreign agents of something. You were right, Pagan, he is. Oh, sure, I knew it all the time, but he, he, he is. What happened, Nelson? I've go double-crossed you. He wasn't playing footsies when he left us holding that sandstorm out in the desert. Looks like he wanted all the glory for getting those ore samples across the Siberian border. That's right. I found this stuff here. Bumped off his mail in Kergen Bay, and that joker wants to ride the gravy train by himself. Oh, man, you just can't trust a local talent. You should have followed that sooner, Nelson. Why? You still haven't got any M5 samples to Siberia. They don't know if there's any ore in this desert or not. Oh, what's that there? They'll know inside a week? You won't make it. Why not? Sharida. You're kidding.  You ever hear of counter-espionage? Even a country like Afghanistan has it. Is that right, Sharida? That is quite right.  Not the gun, Mr. Nelson. Not today, sister. That words are quite inadequate, Mr. Thurston. Particularly after what I did to you in my ignorance. But please know of my gratitude and that gratitude of my countrymen. If the people like you would deserve the gratitude, Sharida, people will never hear of working for their countries and for freedom all over the world. It's because of you that the Nelson's and the others can't win. You think they'd have learned that by now? Well, someday. And pretty soon, they'd better. And all here is our star, Mr. Herbert Marshall. Thanks for being with us. And my thanks to Lucille Meredith, Will Wright, Peter Leeds, Byron Kane, and Stan Wackman. Next week, the seemingly innocent Minimal Bears and Coward Bears lead Ken straight to the horrors of a slave labor camp in Czechoslovakia. And speaking of horrors, Pagan's villagemen have to take a bath. This is the umbrella that is. So join us, won't you, when next I return. I hope without a cold as the man called X. Good night.
