سأعطي أجزاء الملائكة لكي نعرف أن رقيم يأخذ الملائكة لذلك الملائكة تقدروا على التشكول ودليل ذلك حديث جيبريد كما نعلم بينما نحن جلوس عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يأتي اليوم لتطلع علينا رضم شديدة لا يعد الثياب شديد سواد الشعب يرع عليه أثر سفر وفي آحل الحديث يعمر وتدري من السائل قال الله ورصوه العالم قال فأنه جيبريد أتاكم يعلمكم دينكم لذلك الملائكة يأتي before them وذلك الملائكة was جيبريد لذلك الملائكة يأتي لذلك رقيم لذلك الملائكة والله عاني كنت في تركيا ويأتي لذلك سنوات بين العام 1976 و العام 1980 في تركيا هناك ومجموعة ملائكة ملسلمة وعندما تأتي أربقان ومن فعيل وعندما تأتي تركيا وعندما تأتي إجابت تركيا وعندما تأتي ويأتي لذا نحن يجب أن نتحدث كل day our friend was assassinated was a journalist and one of the leaders of the student movement every day people were getting killed so one day we were going to visit a very pious old lady she was an Arab, a knowledgeable Arab they called her Adam Hoja and we would go visit her so they lived in a poor part of Adana, Adana Turkey so we were at Angelic which was the American Air Force Base so we were walking down the street and right before we got to this alley where we came out of nowhere pushed us back and then disappeared and then bullets started flying out of the alley so that's my life that's how I went down رقيب and I'm seriously that up here disappeared لا له الله والله المستحان واليأثب من قول إلا لديه رقيب عفييد اللهم الصلاة المحمد فالله رقيب العباده الله protects his servants هفيد لهم يالم أحوالهم ويعبدوا and facile them He preserves them He knows their states and He enumerates their breaths He counts their breaths Allah watches over us to such an extent He knows every breath we should be more mindful of our breaths because we only have so many unless they're gone they're gone stop breathing all of us have another number of breaths and He enumerated those of Allah ويعبدوا and facile them لا له الله المجيب الذي يقارب له مسألة السائلي بالإسعال so المجيب is the one who reciprocate حق الله it's not a good word the one who sends help at the plea when the supplicant pleas for help translated like that the one who sends help it's not when the supplicant says it pleads for help so when we plead for help it's Allah who sends the help Allah creates means to help us we pray that Allah helps and assist every oppressed supplicant who cries out they go out for the Muslims in Sri Lanka because even before all that what happened last Sunday happened there was a movement of militant Buddhists related to the ones in Myanmar who chased out the Rohingya and Sri Lanka which is a majority overwhelming Buddhists majority these aren't your Dalai Lama Buddhists and they were already oppressing them now and they ask them about this it's already just infinitely worse it's already very bad a friend of mine from Sri Lanka he sent me a text a couple hours ago he said that his I think his uncle went to rent an apartment and apparently it was already lined up we don't rent to Muslims so it's persecution it's discrimination there's violence that Allah protect them الفاتحة العلمية to the Rohingya و الحماية و نسى الله بسمه بسمح الرقيب بسمح الرقيب أن يحفظهم و يحميهم جميعا الفاتحة الذي يقابل مسألة السائلي بالسعف و دعاء الداعي بالاستجابة and the prayer of the the supplicant with an answer و درورة مضطرينة بالكثائة and the necessity the needs of those who are persecuted with sufficiency Allah suffices those who are persecuted so this is the dunya of others and sisters it's the abode of trials, tribulations it's the abode of persecutions it's the abode of happiness there are weddings there's Eid there are gatherings they come there's soap but it's not the abode of permanence and whatever transpires here in this dunya will pass soon enough so we're in the clutches of a difficult struggle difficult trial don't despair of Allah's mercy don't despair of the relief of Allah just say to yourself this tool shall pass because it's temporary everything is temporary and so the state that you're in now it will pass it will be replaced by another state it will be replaced by another state a lot of times Allah one of the explanations that Imam Al-Baghavi gives for لن يسفل القدر إلا الدعاء nothing alters the decree except دعاء he says that when you make دعاء and you express your trust in Allah and you express your confidence that Allah will give you relief and will grant you what you pray for if you make دعاء in a tribulation by deputing your affair to Allah and trusting on Allah you look at that same tribulation from a different angle and from the new angle you see the relief within the tribulation because you're looking at it through the lens of Allah اتقل فراصة المؤمنة فانه يانظرو اتقل اتقل فراصة المؤمنة فانه يانظرو بنور الله beware of the insight of the belief of a Verdi he sees with the light of Allah so Omar when his party was about to be ambushed almost a thousand miles away in the frontiers of the area في الجبال warning them there's an ambush waiting behind the mountain he was on the limba in Medina and he saw it this فراصة so believer has فراصة has a penetrating insight that Allah allows to see things that the physical eye normally couldn't see so beware beware of the belief beware of the insight the believer has there are people that they can read your heart they can know who you are I told some of the Shabab their story when Sheikh Hamza first converted his name was Abdul Wahid and he was beginning the beginning text the Maliki thick is Ibn Asher Ibn Asher's name was Abdul Wahid so he was going he was going to visit the grave of Abdul Wahid so they told him don't give any beggars anymore because if the beggars see you give one beggar they'll swamp you and then it's hopeless so he's walking he's ignoring all the beggars so one beggar will stop them Artini Flous Sheikh Hamza is ignoring it remember the instruction don't give anyone because they are all swamped Artini Flous and the beggar said enter Abdul Wahid enter Abdul Wahid enter Tazour Abdul Wahid Artini Flous so he put it like that Bismillah he said your name is Abdul Wahid my name is Abdul Wahid and you are going to visit Abdul Wahid give me some money Sheikh Jihad who is studying in Iraq Sheikh Jihad Brown went for Amra there was a group of all Yemeni men one of the Yemeni men to stop me he said enter Tazour when I am reaching Artini Flous he said you are an American student he came to England Sheikh Jihad was like shocked and then the Yemeni men started laughing and he said his friends he doesn't believe me التقو فرصة المؤمن فإنه ينظرو بنور الله والمصلي المحمد المجيب الذي يقابل مسألة سائلة بالسعف ودعى دائي بالإجابة ودرورة المترينة بالكثائة وليس الله بيكاتن عبدا الله سبحانه وتعالى بنا الله is not sufficient for his servants other than his sisters don't look for sufficient in the world طالبان الله يشبعان طالب والإن وطالب الدنيا two seekers are never satiated the seeker of knowledge and the seeker of the world so don't look for sufficiency from the world that will never suffice you look for sufficiency with Allah you will find it and it's nice it's good it's fulfilling, it's uplifting it's satisfied قبل النداء رب الله bestows he gives before he requests because Allah has already determined you get whatever you have as a pre-existing eternity pre-eternity rather he's already decreed it it just hasn't manifested itself chronologically in our world for chronology is relevant for us, not with Allah and so قبل النداء تفضلوا قبل الدعاء and he extends his bounties before the call and the prayer the supplication is even made as the watcher الواسع الذي واسع المحسامة واتو الواسع is the one whose knowledge extends so واسع meaning wide, expensive he's the one whose knowledge extends over the heavens and the earth واسع كل شيء رحمة وعلا and he he his mercy and knowledge extend over everything nothing escapes Allah's knowledge nothing escapes Allah's mercy that's what we should never hesitate to ask for Allah's mercy رحمة الله رحمة الله because nothing escapes it we just might fail to see it like we said I said you make du'a something you didn't see before now you can see because now you're seeing through your supplication you're seeing through your dependence on Allah you're seeing through you're deputing your affair to Allah because when you were looking with your own eyes and not through the light of Allah you were blind it's a spiritual reality that's that the ship captain who wrote the song amazing grace I once was blind but now I see no I once was lost I found was blind but now I see because he was out in the darkness that he deputed his affair to the Divine as he understood the Divine so Allah's mercy extends over everything that means nothing escapes it if nothing escapes it that means if we don't find it we're not looking for it and that's why it's important to purge our hearts to look with our basira with the vision of our hearts not with the vision of our physical hearts الواسع الذي وصع علمه السماوات والاربا وصع كل شيء رحمة وعلمة كما فيت تنزيل واسعة كل شيء رحمة وعلمة so you you extend it over everything or you extend it over everything you set كل شيء ورحمة وعلمة you extend your mercy and your knowledge over everything nothing is Allah's not ignorant of anything اللهم صلي على محمد وقيلة هو الغلي قالت هذا ليون ثقذوا ساعة من ساعة let the wealthy one spin from his wealth one who has an expensive wealth spend from that expensive wealth يعني اي ذوغينا من غيناه so الواسع الغاني ليون ثق دو ساعة من ساعة ذوغينا من غيناه لا الله is غاني and so this is what means the expensive وقيلة هو الجوال and the sad is one who is most expensive in his generosity لأنه ذالجودي لأنه ذالجودي لأنه ذالجودي يصفوا بساعة الصدري وسغر وسغر بين قطر because the one who is جوال جنرس his generosity is described as اكسبانس of breast يعني اكسبانس being very magnanimous so above so one who extends his gifts without thinking about who is receiving very close to كريم جوال السخي it's expansive it's a breast whose generosity covers even the smallest space between drops of water والله عنه يعني سغر بين القطر وقال وaa فهل هامش اقوال كما ذقر الكوشتي فمعناه هو الواسع الاطأ so the strongest statement in terms هو سئ as Imam Koshayri said it's meaning it's the one most expansive واسع الاطأ كثير الخير اطلبوا قير دحركم كله اطلبوا قير دحركم كله اطلبوا كل مومات التي تستخدمتها وتعرضوا إلى نفحات رحلة ربيكم ويزيدوا نفسك في محقوقاتك وفعلوا جيد جيدا أما نفعلوا جيدا ببوضة شاء من عبالة because Allah has gentle breezes of His mercy He touches them with سعيدة سعادة لا يشقى بعدها أبدا شخصاً من شخصاً من المشاركة تشعر بلسة بلسة سعيدة سعادة لا يشقى بعدها أبدا سعيدة سعادة لا يشقى بعدها أبدا السعادة الأبادية التي تبدأوا في هذه الدنيا أبدا بلسة تبدأ في هذا العالم لا إلهي لله الله سبحانه وتعالى جميعنا مع جميعنا نعم هو الواس العطائه كثير الخير لأن كفرة عطائه لا تعد و لا تحصى لأن أبناناته لا يمكن أن يكون مميزاً أو يمكن أن يكون مميزاً يمكن أن يكون مميزاً أو يكون مميزاً يكون مميزاً لا إلهي لله ثم قال الرحمه الله وعلم أن نعم الله نوعاني يمكنك أن تعرف أن بلسة الله are of two types نعمة نفعن وهي نعمته التي أو لاها إياها فنحن نراها so the blessings of immediate benefit and these are his blessings which he gives to us which he gives to us and we see them so we see the blessing of clothing we see the blessing of food we see the blessing of water we see the blessing of shelter we see the blessing of good company نعمة النفع so these are blessings Allah gives us to benefit us we benefit from the water we benefit from the cold we benefit from the good company we benefit from the shelter so he says نعمة نفعن وهي نعمته التي أو لاها إياها ونحن نراها ونعمة دفعن and the blessing of warding off وهي ما دفعه أنا من أنوع البلاء والأثات and this is what Allah wards off from us from various types of afflictions and ruinations وهي نعمة مجهولة and these are unknown blessings so we don't know Allah wards off from us إبولا we can't have an Ebola outbreak in America ونفع يقوم but Allah wards it off so we don't see that but we are the beneficiaries of it but these we don't see he says that these blessings are unknown وهي نعمة مجهولة وانا لا نعنم منها إلا اليسير الناد إلا نسير الناد because we don't know these things that are being warded off from us except in very great instances نسى الله ونفع Allah extend us benefits ونفع الله ودفع ونفع things from us ونفع things from us بمقال الحكيم العكيم والضلحتم the one possessing wisdom والحكمة إبارة أن معرفتي أفضل الأشياء بأفضل العلوم it's an expression on the knowledge of the most virtuous things through the most virtuous forms of knowledge واجل الأشياء هو الله تعالى and the most majestic of all things it's Allah be He exalted وعو الحكيم ونحق لأنه يعنم أجل الأشياء بأجل العلوم and Allah is the wise the truth because He knows the most majestic things through the most majestic أجل من علمنا Allah's knowledge is more majestic than our knowledge أجل العلوم هو العلم الأزلي القديم الذي لا يتصوره زواله because the most majestic of all knowledge is pre-existing pre-eternal knowledge which one cannot imagine it being removed Allah's knowledge is eternal our knowledge is created we wouldn't know anything Allah didn't facilitate our learning we'd be like the wolf boy the wolf boy thought he was a wolf and so on he didn't know anything of human and they could never when they I think he's 10 years old they couldn't learn to read, write, talk do math and he died a few years later so the boy got lost and went to school and he died a few years later so the boy got lost in those ways he was walking on all fours what Allah Allah's knowledge is not created and it's not contingent our knowledge is contingent it's contingent on teachers it's contingent on a sound intellect it's contingent on reasonable memory it's contingent on many things it's contingent on our healing and our seeing and one who loses both of those faculties has no religious responsibility because of the difficulty for them to learn الله المستان الله هم وهو حاكيم الحق لأنه يعنم أجل الأشياء بأجل علوم إذ أجل علوم هو علم الأزلي القديم الذي لا يتصور زوال المطابق للعلوم المطابقة لا يتطلق إليه خفاء ولا شب ولا شبه and his knowledge is perfectly consistent with that which is known with reality so our knowledge might not perfectly correspond with reality because we don't properly conceptualize it we adapt it to soul work but Allah's conceptualizing perception is all perfect and that being the case Allah's knowledge completely corresponds with reality because he is reality is الحق and so it's not amenable it cannot be penetrated or breached by something being hidden from it nor some doubt in it so we learn things and we doubt because again we have short-sightedness we have insufficient ability to comprehend some things ولا يتصفوا ولا يتصفوا بذلك إلا علم الله تعالى and this knowledge is only Allah is the only one described with this perfect knowledge and so that's the foundation of his perfect wisdom as far as we're concerned one definition of Pigma is the one that's given by نقيم جوزي فيلو ما ينبغي so doing the most appropriate thing بأسلوبا ينبغي with the most appropriate method or way في الوقت الذي ينبغي at the most appropriate time فيلو ما هو فيلو الذي ينبغي بأسلوب الذي ينبغي بالوقت الذي ينبغي doing the most appropriate thing and the most appropriate method at the most appropriate time and all of that requires knowledge knowledge of what is the most appropriate action knowledge of what is the most appropriate method knowledge of what is the most appropriate time knowledge and wisdom are tools knowledge of Allah is perfect therefore Allah's wisdom is perfect and so when we something befalls us and we think it's terrible understand is from al-hakim and so as opposed to questioning Allah try to find the wisdom behind what Allah has it will be elevated tremendously وقيل معناه المحكم المتقن that it's meaning is perfect mastery to master something with perfection and again that perfection is for Allah الوادود because say this is the loving الذي يحب الخيرا لجميل خلق the one who loves good for all of creation or we can translate call all of humanity الله يحب الخيرا لجميل خلق and so at al-khalluk adorning ourselves with this name we should love good for all of the creation we shouldn't desire evil if Allah wanted evil for us He wipe us all out He sustains us He gives us time to repent these people did these actions let's say is the narrative let's say they're Muslim so they put in jail and the isolation of the jail time to think away from the internet they might have got sucked into some of these vile thoughts they repent killed all these people slaughtered and made them they sincerely repent well Allah accept their repentance Allah will accept their repentance And Allah يقفل وضلو بجميع Allah forgives all sins and Allah's forgiveness is greater than anyone's sin and that repentance will be a manifestation of the good Allah wants for that that's a manifestation of Allah's good even for the criminal so Allah gives them an opportunity to repent the man who killed 100 people his repentance was accepted and he never did a good deed he was only trying to go to the good land to join the good people And the angel of mercy took his soul you all know the hadith we've mentioned it more than a few times الذي يحب الخير of the جميل خلق ويحسلوا إليهم and he does good to them وينعموا إليهم and he bestows his blessings upon them وهو قريب من معنى الرحيم and so ودود is very close to the meaning of رحيم so these two are frequently linked because there's no true love without mercy مثل المؤمنين فيه تودهم وترحمهم the parable of the believers in there mutual love and mutual mercy ومن آياته خلق لكم من أنفسكم أزواجة تسكلوا إليها وجعنا بينكم مودة ورحمة مودة ورحمة وهو قريب من رحيم what is mercy? mercy is the willingness to sacrifice what we have to give up even your very life for what we love that's mercy رقيلة هو الودود المجيب he's the loving one who answers the prayers of the supplicant وقال الحسن ماناح الحسن الفعال and حسن says that it means the one who has good actions وحفظ العدي من هذا الاسم the share a servant has of this name أن يكون هذا في الهامش وقم اثنين تحت وحفظ العدي من هذا الاسم وقم اثنين تحت so he said that the portion a servant has of this name is that the person is loving the person wants good for everybody this is what we have to teach this is our religion this is a thousand years ago this isn't some modern progressive Muslim person this is Imam Jalal al-Din السلوتي محدث العالم الفقي اللغوي ووهوهوه it was a polymath but he's at the heart of the classical period and so this is what we're taught but these teachings escape people that people do things to each other that members of street gangs don't do to each other I've seen Muslims do things to each other that street gangs have a higher code of ethics yes sir absolutely absolutely that's the foundation ألا وإن في الجسل ملغاتا إذا صلحت صلح الجسل كله وإذا فسدت فسدت الجسل كله ألا وإن قل there's an organ in the body of his sound the whole body of sound the limbs will do good the eyes will look at good the ears will listen to good وإذا فسدت فسدت جسل كله and if it's corrupt the whole body is corrupt ألا وإن قل yes absolutely أحفوا العبد من هذا الإسل ويكونوا ودورا وودوروا من عباد الله ما يريدوا الخلق ما يريدوا اللي خلق الله كل ما يريدوا للنفسه and so the loving from the servants of Allah are those who desire for all of Allah's creatures what they desire for themselves meaning humans وعلى من دالكة ويثيلهم على نفسه and a higher station than that is one who gives preference to them over and over so that's not just preference to them and physical things you eat there's not enough for both of you I'll leave it it's also giving preference in your ideas give up then oh no this is what it means you're so stupid why can't you just see this pack up إيثار في الأراء giving preference in thoughts and ideas okay yeah إن شاء الله you're right I could be wrong I need to go research and إيثار ليس فقب في المحسن ساب كذلك I feel معلومات giving preference in your ideas giving preference in your intangible things that one might not even see that's a wider meaning of this إيثار وعلى من دالكة من يبثيلهم على نفسه وكمالوا دالكة and the perfection of that beyond إيثار أنه ينعوه الغالب والحقد ومعنى له من الأبا عن الإيثار والإحسان إليه and the perfection that it doesn't allow anger nor ranker or what is received from them from abuse to prevent him from giving preference to them and being good to them so then who has my back they'll think I'm a pushover they'll walk ومعنى توضى أهدن ومعنى زاد الله عبدن بعافون إلي عزا الله doesn't increase a servant who has the ability to pardon except by making them more noble and honorable ومعنى زاد الله عبدن بعافون إلي عزا ومعنى توضى أهدن لله إلا رفعه الله الله has your back no one's gonna trample over you run over you, push you over so we have to get into the space where we can manifest that degree of trust and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so we hold on I gotta be mean it's a doggy dog world you approach it like that it's gonna be in a lot of nejasa because the dog is haram وَلَا أَوْلَا وَلَا كُوَةَ إِلَّا بِلَّا no we're gonna trust in Allah we're gonna be people overlooked we're gonna be people who who continue to give even when people abuse us this is the exact opposite of the zeitgeist the spirit of our age you don't overlook anyone and you want to impose and you want to take give me my rights فيرون على أنفسهم أنفسهم ولو كانوا بهم خصوصا so again I'm not making this stuff up this is our deen وكمال ذلك الله يمنعه الغرب والحد وما لا ناله من العذا عن الإيثار والإحسان إليهم وهذا مثاله سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so we have to define some decide who will follow these people following Marx following Freud we're following Sigmund Freud are we following these people are we following رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم شوف انظروا وهذا مثاله سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم كوسرات رباعيته وأدمية واجهوه الشريف his tooth was broken at Uhud his face was his noble face was bloody صلى الله عليه وسلم يقومي فإنهم لا يعلمون despite that he said oh Allah forgive my people because they know not what they do إنهم لا يعلمون so he didn't have all this hatred and raker bitterness in his heart based on what his enemies were doing to him today people aren't doing anything what are these innocent people doing the Boko Haram the kidnapped there these girls they don't tell you that because they don't the muslim being victimized by these crimes it goes against the paradigm all them girls were muslims that they kidnapped most of those people the villages are burning they're muslims there was a New York time expulsion on this may Allah give us Tulfik but what did those people do to them they know that the people bombing market places and Baghdad or here or there what did those people innocent people do to them they didn't do anything to them they didn't do anything to them let's say these people in Sri Lanka let's say they're muslims they're for the sake of Baghdad oh Allah believe people what did those Christians do to them they didn't do anything they didn't do anything what did the enemies of the prophet they almost killed him they stoned him they chased him out of his town and what did he say Allahumma kfila hum fa'innuhum na ya'alamum Allahumma kfila khumi fa'innuhum na ya'alamum ya Allah forgive my people they don't know what they're doing صلى الله عليه وسلم we have to get beyond this stuff what did the white guy do to the black muslim now renounce your white privilege keep your privilege use it to help us get ahead if you renounce it we don't have any now you don't have any because you renounced it so it's a lose lose situation we don't even think about what we say this isn't a way of Rasul Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم now I'm gonna stop it صلى الله عليه وسلم Allahumma kfila hum fa'innuhum na ya'alamum المجيد الشريف ذاته the one most noble in his essence noble و جميل أفعاله and most beautiful in his actions الجزيل أطاءه و نواله the one who's most generous in his giving and his favor قال الإمام الحرمين إمام حرمين الجواني و يمكنه حمده و قال و يمكنه حمده عن الكريم so you can understand this with the meaning of kareem كرم كرم the one who gives and doesn't concern himself with how much he gives or to whom he gives one who gives freely and so this is so that's a noble person it's a noble a person an abnormal person is a person you know that person needs water no well when I was thirsty they didn't give me any water that's what people some people think like that no they didn't give me water I was dying of thirst I could have passed out they just walked by and kept drinking their water that's the opposite of كريم و مجيب the noble person person is only a Bismillah someone comes when you are starving or dying of thirst they just walk by you so what what do I care now he's dying of thirst I'm suppose the hobah that's a nice be مجيد ولا كريم و قال الإمام الحرمين يمكن وحمده على الكريم فن المجيد شاعر بمان الكريم so مجيد emanates from the meaning of kareem so that unfathored generosity الباعث يحيى لخلقه يوم النشور و يباعث يروه ماثل كبور و يباعث يروه ماثل كبور و بعث يروه ماثل كبور و الله يباعث يروه ماثل كبور so الباعث he's the one who revives the creation on the day of his resurrection and he he brings forth and scatters those who have been buried in the grave so they come forth and then start walking around so scatter باترز to scatter و أحسي لما في صدور and that which is in the hearts will be exposed the love with the hate the jealousy envy the generosity all of that will be exposed to the evil of the world and he's the one who is the one who does what he does and the act is Allah he achieves what he does and the appointed the final birth where Hamza the one who is in the grave the final birth the one who is in the grave the one who is in the grave the one who is in the grave و قيلة ووصولي للعباد. ويقول الباعث هو أنه يبعث القواترة الخفية في الأسرار. وذلك هو أيضا أنه يعني أنه يعني أنه يأخذ الأسرار الخفية في الأسرار الأسرار الخفية في الأسرار الخفية. الحمد لله. بسم الله الرب العالمين والصلاة والسلام. أنا سيد المرسلين سيد المحمد والهاله وصاحبه وسلم كثيرة. والله تعالى جمعنا هذا الجمع المرهومة.


So, we have been discussing quite a bit of theory of pattern recognition in several classifiers and in some of the previous classes we looked at the how the classification rules perform over artificial data sets I already gave you some assignments on that today I shall discuss the utility of the schemes the pattern recognition schemes on a real life data set. So, as you can see on your screen satellite image data for the data analysis part this satellite imagery is taken from NRSA Hydrobat as you can see from there it is 12 years old actually it is probably more than 12 years old I do not remember when we bought it it may be even the later part of 1990s it is a scene from Kolkata it is a multi spectral imagery there are four bands there and band 1 corresponds to blue band 2 corresponds to green band 3 corresponds to red and band 4 it corresponds to infrared the resolution is approximately for each pixel the resolution is approximately 36.25 into 36.25 square meters that is each pixel on an average it covers an area of that much 36 into 36 those many square meters approximately this is how the image from I mean the band 1 image looks like as you can see it is really very difficult for you to see anything there similarly band 2 this is band 3 and this is band 4 the reason is that our monitors they support 0 for black and 255 for white. So if the maximum gray value is let us just say of the order of 60 or 70 then you practically do not see anything in the image you practically do not see anything in the image so usually for these images those people who are acquainted with image processing they would know that one needs to do some sort of an enhancement. So here what I have what we had done was a simple enhancement scheme has been considered so that the images can be seen properly. So the enhancement scheme is simple linear stretching for each image you find the minimum gray value and the maximum gray value and from each pixel value subtract the minimum and you divide it by maximum minus minimum and multiplied by 255 so that the minimum gray value in the original image it corresponds to 0 the maximum gray value in the original image it corresponds to gray value 255 in the transform domain in the transform image. So since it is a linear function it is called linear stretching since you are stretching the interval from min max to 0 and 255 so you are stretching the interval so it is called linear stretching a simple enhancement operator now after you do the enhancement this is what you are going to get the enhanced image of band 1 it would look like this I will show you some of the characteristics of this thing you see this portion this is basically the river Hoogley or Ganges you see there is a bridge here this bridge is known as Bali bridge and then when you come down here you see another bridge this is known as Hauora bridge okay this is how this is the famous Hauora bridge and this is Bali bridge and it is going down like this and this was the second Hoogley bridge it was under construction in those days so and this black things they correspond to pond areas okay this is also this black is also pond area and this black it is also pond area the people who are acquainted with Kolkata actually this is a pond practically in front of ISI when you cross the BT road you will get this pond so basically Indian statistical institute is situated somewhere here and we are very close to Bali bridge so this is band 1 image it corresponds to the blue band blue color this is the enhanced image for band 2 that is green please note that the river water and pond water they are different this is the river water and these are this is the pond water this is this black is pond water this black is also pond water and as I said this is also pond water river water and this pond water note that they are different and this is band 2 that is green image enhanced one here also as you can see the river water and pond water they are actually different they are giving different gray values and then as you come slowly to this is red now let me talk about training sets the what is the problem here the problem is you need to classify each pixel into the land one of the land cover types what is the land cover types under consideration here here I want to do a simple problem where each pixel is to be put into one of the two classes one class is river water another class is non river non river includes the pond regions as well as you have land and land me includes buildings and you have barren land you have gardens okay and all the other things basically I want to put each pixel into one of the two categories one is river other one is non river this is the basic classification problem under consideration so we have taken a training sample set 50 points from the river portion we have chosen 100 points from the rest they are chosen now the question is how they are chosen if you remember my lectures about the how to take training sets and test sets one of the problems that one of the things that had always mentioned there that training set should reflect the overall variation in the data set so that you can estimate the parameters properly test set again should indicate the overall variation in the data set so that whatever misclassification rate that we are getting on the test set that should reflect the overall misclassification in the entire population so both the training and test sets they need to reflect the overall variations within that whole population properly so here basically the test set means every point we are going to do the classification so that is basically the test set I mean so the training set is we are going to take in the whole of 512 by 512 they are totally 512 square pixels in this 512 square pixels we are going to take some small number of pixels some 50 from the river portion and 100 points from the rest this is the training set and the test set is all the rest all the rest I mean it is 512 square minus 150 this is the test set size and the training set is 100 points from the non river portion 50 points in the river portion now there can be first many questions how these numbers 150 are arrived at that is one question and the second question is once they are arrived at how actually someone can choose these points now the answer to the first one how these numbers 150 are arrived at we know that the river portion is small compared to the land for the non river portion so the number of points that we are going to take for the training set for the river it will be smaller when you compare it with the number of points that we can take for the non river portion okay then once it is smaller then this is probably I chose 50 and 100 some people can even take 25 and 50 but probably it should not be less than 25 because you would like to get the overall variation in the river class and overall variation in the non river class probably it should not be less than 25 since I have been dealing with this data set so I do not really think it should be less than 25 because you would like to get the overall variation in the river class and of course the overall variation in the non river class so I think one should take at least 25 points in the river and since you would like to get overall variation in the non river class also there it is 25 means it should be at least 50 55 60 so I have taken 50 and 100 so one can take even different values also instead of 50 and 100 one can take let us say 75 and 150 75 and 125 or 50 and 125 one can choose many other values so I have taken 50 and 100 now the next question is which 50 point from the river we have to choose which 50 which 100 point from the land from the non river portion do we need to choose the answer is as I said it should be it should reflect the overall variation now let us look at this portion this is a river portion so if you want to take 50 points those 50 points should be distributed from this place to this place then we are basically reflecting the variations in the class similarly the other 100 points for the land you should try to take them as much as possible from all these regions river is slightly easier but the land portion is slightly difficult which particular 100 points you need to choose the not exactly land portion the non river portion it is slightly difficult in the sense that which exact 100 points are you going to take that is but nevertheless 100 points are chosen now what are the features since for each pixel location you have gray value for a blue band gray value for green gray value for red and gray value for infrared so each pixel location is represented by a four dimensional pick feature vector so the number of features is 4 so we have chosen 50 points from the river portion 100 points in the non river portion number of features is 4 then there are two classes as I said river and non river then after these 50 points are chosen then you have 54 dimensional vectors for river 100 four dimensional vectors for the non river portion so you calculate mean of these 50 vectors for the river covariance matrix for the river portion similarly you get mean and covariance matrices for the non river portions based on the 100 points now you have the way mean the mean and covariance matrices note that we do not know anything about the probability distribution so we will assume normal distribution so once we assume normal distribution then we need to know the prior probabilities for applying the best decision rule so for a prior probabilities we have taken three cases one case is for the one case is the river portion the prior probability is 0.3 the non river portion prior probability is 0.7 so river portion the prior probability is 0.3 non river portion the prior probability is 0.7 so and using that we get the best decision rule then you take every pixel get the four dimensional vector and classify each pixel to either to water either to non river portion or non river portion river portion is represented by the gray value 255 in this image the non river portion is represented by the gray value 0 in this image so once that is done this is the output as you can see the two bridges the Bali bridge and Haurab bridge they came out properly okay the two bridges this is also one of the reasons in my class also I give this example since the river portion is known to all of us one can easily check how good or how bad the classification is you do not need to look at your misclassification rate etc one can find it from here directly one can find all these things from here directly you see in the river portion there are many black dots okay so these points are misclassified but then you see there is a patch here this patch is corresponds to there the river got dried up and this patch again it corresponds to the situation where the river got dried up okay and there are some small dots here so these dots they are all misclassified they are all misclassified but note that there are some points here and there are some points here the non river portion they have come into the river so there are a few points but then as you can see most of the points most of the pixels they are classified properly out of these many pixels out of these many pixels less than 1% of them are misclassified less than 1% so the rate of correct classification is really really high now before I go further let me make a few more comments the first comment is that if you ask me whether similar results will be obtained with other training sets I would say it is not guaranteed I am repeating the same thing again if the training sets reflect the overall variation then your quality of result will be good if they do not reflect then the quality of result will not be good it is not guaranteed that the result will be good since the same data I have been using for the past many many years and every year I use this one as an assignment to my students in ISI some people they show me results which are worse than this since they have not taken the training sets properly if your training sets are not chosen properly you are not expected to get good results so this one I am telling you repeatedly if the training set is really chosen properly now you see for 0.5 and 0.5 these are the result and 0.7 and 0.3 these are the results since the training sets is chosen properly the prior probabilities are not making much of a difference whereas if the training set is not chosen properly the prior probabilities are going to make lot of difference this I have seen very many examples this I have seen very many examples so this once again reflects that your training sets have to be chosen and there is no there are no compromises here training sets have to be chosen properly now the k nearest neighbor decision rule now you can apply k nearest neighbor decision rule also we have 50 points from the non river portion 100 points in the non river you take them as your training set so we take one point say the pixel 11 so it has a four dimensional vector the that pixel is to be classified to one of the two classes so from that pixel you calculate the distance of that pixel with all these 150 pixels what is the meaning of the distance here the distance is Euclidean distance and you have four dimensional feature vector so you calculate 150 distances and arrange them in increasing order or non decreasing order and choose the first k distances and you look at the corresponding k points see how many of them are class 1 how many of them are class 2 whichever value which from whichever class you get the maximum representation you put the point into that class so since here we are only talking about two classes and if I take k as an even number it is possible that you may get from both the classes equal representation so I have chosen the my value of k to be odd and we are taking the same training sample set this is the result for k is equal to 1 this is the result for k is equal to 1 now there is one point that I would like to mention here note that here we are not making any distributional assumption whatsoever no distributional assumption and look at the quality of the result it is fantastic the number of points that are misclassified it is very very small this shows you the power of this rule k n and rule this is for k is equal to 3 this is for k is equal to 5 so you are able to do the classification properly now there was one question in one of the previous classes about how to choose the value of k how to choose the value of k here I have shown the results on three different values of k there is only very little difference minor difference this again reflects let me tell you the quality of the training sample set if the quality of the training sample set is good for very many different values of k you are going to get similar results you are going to get similar results now this one after we have done the classification then we went into clustering where we have to in many situations we need to tell the number of clusters in advance and we discussed a few clustering schemes one of them is came in s algorithm where k is the number of clusters and for came in s algorithm value of k is to be given as an input value of k is to be given as an input so on the same data set we did clustering we applied came in s technique and again for came in s algorithm there are several versions available we use the 4 this version that is basically till the whole iteration ends we will not change the cluster we will not change anything after the iteration has ended then we have new set of clusters and in the previous one you have old set of clusters if these two clusters are same then we stop it otherwise again we go for next iteration. So foge scheme has been applied and these are the different results that we have got now for k is equal to 2 note that we are doing clustering means we do not know the number of groups or number of clusters we are assuming that the number of clusters is 2 and then this is the output now how much this output reflects the reality that is the basic question if an output should reflect the reality then we need to get the value of k properly and we do not know the value of k so we have tried it with different values of k per k is equal to 2 this is the result this does not actually say much about the grouping I mean we are not in a position to name the different clusters this is for K is equal to 3 this again we are not in a position to name this is for K is equal to 4 this is slightly better but then let me just discuss this this is for K is equal to 5 look at this this is the river water and this is the pond water and wherever this black color is there wherever this black color is there most of it is water well I do agree that this portion this is not water this portion this is not water but these portions they are indeed water this portion is water okay so here these portions they are not water body this is basically the main city area of Kolkata this portion is Shambhagar and then you come down to Shambhagar this is Haurabh bridge so there is Shialda is somewhere here okay and this portion it is the Maidan portion this is slightly better result this is for K is equal to 6 here river and river and city portion they are mixed up but except that this is the pond water pond water this color you see at many other places also but if you ask me ultimately my conclusion is that they are giving you clustering this clustering is sometimes some places some clusters are reflecting the actual reality but I cannot make a uniform statement about any particular value of K I cannot make a uniform statement about any particular value of K that this value of K is better than the other I mean in all respects that I cannot make but these are the results that we have obtained well this is a basic and inherent problem in clustering they will provide groupings in the data set whether those groupings reflect the actual reality or actual names that we are going to give to the clusters that is not necessarily true they reflect the groupings within the data set then they may not correspond to the names that we would like to give so we have actually come to the end of the lecture series on pattern recognition we try to cover several topics in classification clustering and feature selection in pattern recognition but there are still many more topics that are left uncovered one of them is syntactic pattern recognition that is one and among the usual techniques some texts that have not been covered are you have decision trees you have decision trees and kernel based methods kernel based methods and machine learning and you have other machine learning schemes like you have semi supervised learning reinforcement learning and you have poison forests okay and there are like that several other schemes are available transfer learning I already wrote semi supervised learning reinforcement learning and there are many more classification schemes there are many neuro fuzzy classification schemes available which have not been covered there are many classification schemes available using some other soft computing techniques like rough sets and genetic algorithms and in fact there are many many other schemes available if I go on mentioning the names that you will get in fact many more names please take it as a lecture series for beginners please take it as a lecture series for beginners since we have not we have covered only some portion then there are still many other portions to be left covered and whatever you teach here there will be always some portions which will be left out after all the time is finite but the number of things that you have to do the syllabus is quite a lot please take these lectures as lectures for beginners only and many advanced topics have not been covered people who are interested in working on those advanced topics they should read the corresponding literature and they need to always compare whatever they read or whatever techniques that they are going to develop or use with they need to always do the comparison properly among the techniques that is one thing that I request all the users who are working or who would like to work on pattern recognition and related topics they should do their comparisons properly doing the comparisons properly means you should take the if you are taking the one training set you should use the train the same training set for all the classification schemes you should not change the training sets similarly if you are using certain parameters for something then you should use similar parameters for the other schemes also from scheme to scheme there are suppose you would like to do reduction of features you would like to do reduce the number of features from 100 to 10 okay you would like to reduce number of features from 100 to 10 you have developed a scheme now with some other schemes from 100 to 10 probably may not be possible maybe it becomes 11 or it becomes 9 but it should not become 20 or it should not become 5 so when you are making this comparison be it with feature selection or classification or with any other thing what you should do a proper comparison that is really really necessary and nowadays for I mean whatever techniques that you are going to develop if possible if you develop the corresponding theory for the techniques then the techniques will last longer since there is theory one will always know the limitations of the method properly if you know the limitations of the method then you would actually know where to use it and where not to use it so if you can develop the theory for your methods properly that will always be good and in that sense the method also will last longer but if you are not in the position to develop the theory probably for a few years the method may be existent and after that people will go for new methods that is why you see in the latest literature for many journals people the associated editors and editors they are actually asking for papers with theory the main reason is that with theory you will know the limitations properly having said this I all I mean it is it can be seen that developing theory is not an easy task having said this it is not an easy task to develop the theory but for the good of the subject if theory is available it will always be better so for all the users of pattern recognition and for all the persons who would like to work on pattern recognition from my side and my colleague professor Shri Kanthadas side thank you and hope that these lectures will help you and if you have any questions you people can always write to NPTEL and from there we will get those questions and we will try to reply to your queries thank you very much.


Oh welcome to the PCP drawcast. It's another exciting installment of the people procrastinating drawcast.  Ben's not here.  I told him to come. Oh but he's not. Humiliate him. A straw pole. Should we kick Ben out of the drawcast? Is the recording of this drawcast because of him initially as well? Yep. Yep. Yep. Probably. Thanks Ben. Okay today we've got something real special for you today. We're drawing PCP characters. The most legendary lineup of characters.  My alarm to do this podcast just went off. That happens like on everything. Not you. I mean like with every time somebody has an alarm it always goes off after they've started doing it. Yeah we're doing PCP characters and we're all you know gonna do what like we're gonna do we're gonna draw a PCP character for 10 minutes they're gonna switch off and the other person will draw a PCP character and we'll go like that. So who wants to go first on this wonderful this wonderful. Alright so shall we show we establish first what a PCP character is? Yeah okay a PCP character is not like like like for instance the Japanese Juggler would not be a PCP character but the most incredible character of all time the under Taylor 587 would be because he first appeared in a PCP media environment. Unlike the Japanese Juggler who was on my channel. Hmm. What mage? Do we get references or do we just imagine how things look like?  Yeah so yeah references I usually I have every single PCP character like like digitally mastered in my brain. Oh cool. Digitally-sword photographic memory. In the Munchie Vault? Yeah in the Munchie Vault that only comes out every 25 years with a new 4k resolution each time. Arm retrieval platinum addition?  Yeah it would have like electric volts on it.  Who wants to go first? I don't know. All right I'll go first.  My favorite character. I'll get better. He's made references though. Okay okay that's fine here I'll I'll I'll I'll get that for you.  Man searching the Undertaker amasses a wide eclectic range of memes all across the fruited plane of the internet but the Undertaker itself does come first so that's pretty good. Okay good. Here I drew I drew a literal like like a reference sheet so hold on.   Which sadly never came. What's going on? Here here here here. There we go. How do you do the thing with like the like the the. How do you do it? Oh by the way we should we're gonna start now. Wait I want to know how to do the thing with like the the pixel line I always forget.  Pencil. Pixel. Oh my god. Pin in the paper. It's right there. What am I gay?  I don't know. There's clinics for that you know. Wait are we starting? Yeah we're starting. We've been starting. Hey whoever's editing this know that I had to switch over to the the PCP chat for a bit.  So it can be the only one. That can only be one Sans, it's only be one true one super of you. Everyone else is impure.  Yes.  I was in process again. Damn. Perfect. God. He doesn't even have anything. Yeah I know right. He has no flesh. I could never understand how that could be attractive. Yes. God I love this much more self-serious Undertailer here who's like trying to be all you know he's trying to he's oh my gosh you can see this wet drop he's trying to maintain his composure. Trying to hold it in. Yeah. He's positively flowing. Oh yeah. Oh okay. Oh what do you love? Oh I love how like both you guys have like picked like new ways like new spins on the color design like like taking the abstract colors and re-interpreting them whereas I just like you know used the little color selectors they just steal the colors. I always do that with everything. I never pick up my own colors. I am I did not look at the reference so so here we go this is what this is based off of remember. Yes what I remember.  This is the equivalent of drawing Hermione Black. It's like reinterpretation of the character. It's the same.  He's got a big little finger. He's got the stripe brother. One Z. Yeah.  I like the Terezi one Z. Huh?  That's oil.    That finger is bigger than a man could ever hope to imagine.  Yeah it's always the thing. Yeah uh if if if if you've noticed uh all every every one of my characters of all time anytime no matter what has a huge dick unless the person commissioned me specifically told me not to which they never do.  Oh yeah yeah. It's broken at 11 inches. Yeah. All right uh what's it's broken. Therefore all of them are there.


John chapter 8 and verse 31 and verse 32 says the following then Jesus said to the Jews who believed him if you abide in my word you are truly my disciples you shall know the truth somebody say truth and the truth shall set you free last night we talked about freedom how we have to recognize we have to we have to receive recognize and then resist and tonight we're going to talk about continue to talk about the same theme I want to stay faithful to the theme of this conference set free but I want you to notice in the verse 32 unlike in the verse 36 Jesus said in the verse 32 you will know the truth and the truth will set you free in verse 36 he says whom the Son sets free is free indeed in the verse 32 it says the truth will set you free not the truth that is real but the truth that you know you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free Muhammad said he's the secret of truth Buddha said Muhammad said he's the prophet of truth Buddha said he's the secret of truth and Jesus said he is the truth so what it says in here is that if you will know the truth not the truth that will set you free but the truth that we know will set us free so there is freedom that Jesus gives us and there is freedom that knowing the truth brings into our life this right away puts something very simple in the beginning is that not all freedom comes in person's life through prayer very beautiful let's see some of you enjoying them as much as I do not all freedom comes through prayer some freedom comes through knowledge that's what Jesus said 36 says whom the Son sets free is free 32 says if you know the truth you become free there are people and many of us can receive our freedom through knowing the truth some people when they know the truth they become free so if knowing the truth gives you free then knowing a lie makes you bound let me say that again if knowing the truth makes you free then knowing a lie makes you slave the truth liberates lies bind the truth sets us free but see it's not the truth that sets you free it's the truth you know that sets you free see you can have a bread on the shelf and that bread will not feed you unless that bread goes from the shelf into your hungry mouth you can have paint in the bucket but that paint will not change the color of the walls unless that paint leaves the bucket and goes on the wall the truth in the bible the truth in christ does not set you free if it stays in the bible and stays in christ that truth has to be known by us experienced by us and that truth sets us free and it's something that cannot happen when pastor prays for you it's something that only happens when you do your homework amen or pastors will love this message because we know what i'm gonna share right now this is a trouble we'd have when it comes to freedom many people think if i could only have another person pray for me i will be free there is a freedom you can get from verse 36 but there is only freedom you're gonna get from verse 32 you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free let's go to matthew chapter 12 we're gonna stay on the same topic matthew chapter 12 and verse 43 when the unclean spirit goes out of a man he goes through dry places seeking rest and finds none then he says i will return to my house somebody say my house somebody say my house he says i will come back to my house from which i came and when he comes he finds it empty swept and put in order and the bible says he brings more evil and it becomes worse for the person that has ever been before now listen to this story very carefully this story has been usually used to explain when a demon leaves a person and the person does not have a filled with jesus then the demon comes back and brings seven times more but the logic behind that explanation is this if the demon leaves a person he can't really leave a person without jesus's help and a lot of people who get free and the demon leaves the person then the demon has the audacity to still say that my house see if you're a christian you believe in jesus you're not the devil's property you may be the devil's target but you're not his property you might be the part of the devil's attack but you are not part of his property what gives the right to a demon spirit to call my place and this is something i'm going to share with you pay attention very carefully most of us think when an evil spirit or demons or satan attacks person's life their chief goal is to destroy a person and that is true according to john chapter 10 verse 10 but there also a goal that they have in attacking a person's life is not just to destroy the person but to build a mindset within a person that they can call their home why because the bible says there's this thing called a strong man means it's an evil spirit that attacks a person's life where does the strong man live in a stronghold a stronghold is a mindset a stronghold is a house of thoughts the assignment of every demon is not only to destroy you but to build you to build within you a mindset that even when they leave they still have a place called home your mind a stronghold becomes the devil's home and how does he build a stronghold through lies lie after a lie believed by you accepted by you and even when the evil forces is gone and the person is free from demonic influence but they're not free from the mindsets of lies that the devil has built in them see the demons leave quickly mindsets are not broken quickly because they've been built over a long time and the enemy's goal is not just to destroy you it's also to build within you a mindset that even when he is removed through your prayer through the prayer of someone else and then you simply polish that negative defeated doubtful mindset clean it up with the religious behavior modification he still has a place he calls home the place he built so this is not just oh if a person is delivered do they speak in tongues no no this is more this is when a person is delivered is their mind renewed the mind of a person can be either a place for the holy spirit to work for the enemy to get a call back home that's why jesus said not only you can be free when i touch you but you also must be free when you know my word because there are certain damages the enemy does in the person's mind that only the truth can liberate not jesus is touching it's jesus is teaching they can set a person free can somebody say man and so tonight we are going to talk about a topic that will be titled how to make devil homeless you can't destroy him some people say i'm gonna kill the devil too bad he's not gonna die i'm gonna send him to hell you cannot do that only god can do that in book of revelation but you know what you can do you can make him homeless that means you can destroy his home and the only bad part is you can't do it in one day you can't do it in one meeting pastor cannot do it for you i cannot do it for you jesus cannot do it for you you know what can do for you truth you know what builds the house for the devil it's a lie build upon a lie build upon a lie few lies like i'm ugly that's a lie you believe in it i'm worthless another lie god never heals me god never comes through for me another lie another lie and here you have a mention for every demon in hell to have a resting place and it's a matter of time i'm not saying you will have demons but you will live in constant torment because satan has something in you he calls his home strong man lives in stronghold a stronghold is a house of thoughts thoughts fixed with lies this is not just one thought these are thoughts that have become your mind said it's the way you think it's the way you see it's the moment somebody doesn't accept you or doesn't call you or doesn't do something you immediately you flush out again somebody okay they treated me just like the other person again that thing comes out out of you it's automatic you don't even think about it it's an automatic response that comes from the inside that is called a mindset a biblical word for it and second Corinthians a stronghold and these strongholds cannot be destroyed in one day they can be destroyed over time but they cannot be destroyed without the truth not the truth alone but the truth you apply i was very fortunate to stay in the house of Vladimir Silchuk who sits over there and he gave me they gave me a soap to take shower with the presence of soap in the bathroom did not make me clean i didn't say anything smart don't don't think too hard it's very simple okay relax everything is fine i didn't say anything smart the presence of soap in the bathroom did not make me clean you know what made me clean applying the soap i had in the bathroom you have everything you need to be free within your reach stop coming and asking god to make you clean when he provided the soap that you don't use you shall know the truth and the truth will make you free shunt your neighbor say stop stinking shunt your other neighbor say you gotta remove stinking thinking you gotta remove stinking thinking the main three lies that people believe about our mind you can just write down these these three lies that people believe that cause the enemy to build a mindset in them the first lie is this what i think is not important what i do is more important most people are so focused on their behavior that what happens inside of this little box between their two ears has no importance to them whatsoever most people are convinced is that see because the religion the church the tradition we the focus in the church many times and i'm guilty of it as as many but anybody else when somebody comes you know with tattoo with earrings with you know dressed up in a certain way living in a certain way our main goal first is to change their behavior especially when they get saved and they're still kind of wearing certain things or doing certain things like hey you gotta stop doing this stop doing this and people are quicker to quickly quickly registers in their mind if i am to be pleasing to god i gotta change the way i am on the outside and so people quickly clean up their outside while their inside is literally pure junk but because nobody can see it because the pastor cannot see it you cannot see it i cannot see it that inside is always left unattended because it doesn't bother nobody the funny part is your thoughts cannot be seen so is the holy spirit you know what he sees your thoughts the way people see your face is the way he sees your thoughts your behavior to him is not as vital as your thoughts why he is invisible what he sees invisible things which are your thoughts so to holy spirit these are more important that's why jesus said a man might not commit adultery with the woman but if he thinks about it in god's eyes god says i already see you doing it in god's world it's not what you do it's what you think why because god is invisible and so are your thoughts they are in the fourth dimension world they're in the world they cannot be seen by men and so that is why you have to break the first line that how i live has nothing to do with how i think and it's more important that i live clean than i think clean many of us are extremely traditional in our behavior and extremely horrible in our thinking life thinking life is completely what i think well it's my own problem it's my own business what you think has a huge effect on your behavior and your relationship with god it's been proven even scientifically when they did an experiment once on five millionaires and they took millions all those millions from those five million millionaires and they made him homeless they this experiment experiment i think was about five years that was last thing i don't remember the details but the main point was this they made this millionaires homeless and at the same time they took five homeless people and gave all the millions of these five millionaires to the homeless for five years they wanted to do an experiment to see how will the millionaires behave being homeless and how will the homeless behave being millionaires within first few years all the five millionaires became millionaires and the rest of them it took them five years to become millionaires they went to the poor the homeless and they found out that within few years those who were homeless became homeless and some actually were admitted to mental institution because of a suicide attempt and they made this conclusion to be a millionaire has nothing to do with money it has to do with the state of your mind and they also made a conclusion to be poor has nothing to do with money it all has to do with the state of mind if the world has done the study and has seen that that a person's mind is so much more important than their circumstances and their behavior we have to as a church of jesus christ come to the realization god lives in invisible world and what you think and what's going on inside of here is far more important than how hands you raise how words you speak and how many times you even come to church all these things are important but the state of your mind is more important because somebody say amen many times when we get into problems in our life and we face difficulties we face challenges these challenges they begin to come into our mind and eventually our mind begins to think like that i want to write down second life the second line usually says the following the reason i think bad is because my life sucks the reason why i am negative is because my circumstances are negative the reason why i am the way i am is because the things around me are really bad and if that god that you're talking about who wants me to have a positive mind a mindful of faith a mindful of love and a mindful of good things well tell him to change my life and when he changes my life i will go ahead and change my mind sounds like the same thing the Pharisees told jesus if you get off from the cross will change our mind about you and when three days later he got out from the dead did they change their mind oh no they bribed the soldiers and they spread the lie that jesus didn't rise from the dead it proves one thing if god changes your circumstances but you don't choose to take the truth inside to change the things in your mind god cannot change your mind to the degree you allow the truth to come inside is to that degree you allow god to come inside of your mind you cannot simply choose negative thoughts choose defeat choose insecurity and plead with god change my mind that is not how he changes your mind he can only do it through your acceptance and your applying of the truth we have to demolish this lie that the only reason why i think negative is because my life is negative i had the opportunity to go on a cruise ship with my wife on our honeymoon a cruise ship was really big was thousands of people there many floors we went through oceans there was so much water in the ocean there was enough water to drown us the ship and we went through it without drowning do you know how not by emptying the ocean of water many of you thinking the only way you can get through the ocean is if you get the water out of the ocean that's when you tell god if you change my life i'll change my mind it's like saying for a ship the only way i can get through an ocean is if god will remove the water or maybe you can learn how not to allow the water to get inside well that's not possible ships can do it i'm sure you can do it too well you're not better than a ship that is a piece of wood you're a piece of creation somebody say amen say i can do it say through christ i can do all things say through christ i can change in my mind you cannot accept this lie that the reason why you feel bad is because you look bad and please understand i'm not making this up because i read it from some kind of a self-help book i'm sharing this with you because this was a transformative truth in my life i was convinced some of you shared a testimony last night i was convinced if god will heal you know my my physical eyes then i will walk around with boldness not i didn't know that you know that would happen i'm gonna walk around with the arrogance now with boldness i had two eye surgeries one in ukraine one in united states all of that not because so i can see better i have all four five four siblings with us today and two parents i'm the only one in our family who doesn't wear glasses my eyes is so good that when i try to fake it so i can get glasses i still couldn't qualify i just i have a very good eyesight so i don't have a problem with the vision my eyes don't hurt everything is fine so don't come up towards to pray for me as people i mentioned people everybody lines up you know like i just want to pray for you don't worry let me pray for you because you were eye contacts so but i have a good vision everything is fine but because of my appearance i felt like if my appearance could be a little bit modified i will walk around with this boldness on inside the reason why i felt so bad is well i mean i couldn't help it every time i look in the mirror it just just couldn't help to think like that and i came to god and i said god need to change it and god says do you want me to change your face or do you want me to change your mirror you've been looking at the wrong mirror every morning and god changed the mirror you know every time somebody used to meet me the first question they would ask me they wouldn't even ask me my name they would ask me did you have an accident or something what happened to your eyes and it was the same thing as putting a salt on the wound it hurt me it reminded me that people the only thing they saw me is my ugliness now nobody asked me literally i mean i look forward to somebody actually bringing it up either they're afraid or ashamed i don't know but and and the one of the reasons why is because even as i'm speaking to you i'll demonstrate it most of you are not aware of the fact one of my eyes is smaller than the other you know why you're not aware because i'm not either you would if i would be on the inside i'm not that person that you see right now on the inside i look at a different mirror and that mirror says i'm a creation of god god loves me and what you see is just the skin stretched over a skeleton mine happened to be like this your happened to be like that when we all died there's going to be no skin just a skeleton so we're all going to be equal don't believe in that lie that the reason why you think the way you think you feel the way you feel is because the way your life is no you think the way you think you feel the way you feel because you're looking at the wrong mirror it's because you're believing a lie instead of a truth you're believing it's just the wrong thing you will say no no no that's not possible and if still you change your diet god it cannot change your life can somebody say amen the third lie and this is the lie it says i cannot control my mind the moment somebody hears how important it is to change the way you think and to allow the word of god to come inside the first response i hear always from people is this one well i tried i can't change my mind it's actually a lie that is somewhat true this is why it's true you actually cannot change your mind because a mind is a mindset okay and the reason why you got the mindset is because you've not been monitoring your thoughts for the past 22 years diligently so you let anything that came to you build whatever you want to build and you come to this big mess that it took 23 years to build and you wanted to destroy it in one blow of course it's not gonna happen it's not gonna work you can't change your mind without monitoring your thoughts a mindset cannot be changed in one day but to monitor your thoughts it could start today when you begin to focus on that you will realize first thing you will come you have a first revelation this can be the first revelation that 99% of your thoughts are negative and they stick to you like superglue and all the positive thoughts don't like you and they only stay as much as a snowflake on the warm hand and they and you come to the conclusion i'm a negative pessimistic complaining vining victim welcome to the club we all are like that by atom nature and through christ step by step we begin to see change in our life can someone say amen what would happen if the united states of america would treat the border patrol the way you treat your thoughts what would happen if it just in russia you decided to come to united states you got your luggage and you made some little paper says i am an american citizen and you misspelled the american and you come to the united states you brought your papers and the u.s. saying you know officer looks at you and you're like sir want to go to america okay welcome welcome and you're a terrorist russian terrorist you're coming to america what would happen to our country you know what would happen to our country there will be no country do you know why this country is today alive it's because guys who don't have proper documentations cannot pass through the security have you ever asked your thought if it has a proper documentation you're ugly god doesn't love you nothing good ever happens to you everything you take fails every gift they give you you break you constantly have accidents every relationship you start fails everybody who loves you always abuses you those thoughts are illegal the united states won't pass illegals through the country you do all the time in your mind no wonder why your mind is a mess and your life is the result of that too you're pretty you're educated you're awesome you're cool you're very you're very everything is good except you don't have a border control in your life and anything and anything that satan wants to send you are there without checking papers without checking passport without checking id's and it comes in it stays there builds a fortress and then you come to god oh god please destroy it set up some security not every thought has the right has the right to pass through it can come into you and you say can i see your papers a thought can come in god doesn't love you Jesus this place is not for you you say can i see your papers where does it say in the bible and then you tell what Jesus says get behind me satan you have to do that many times i would do that even sometimes during churches some weird just stupid thought would come into my head and under my breath i don't do it very loud and probably this is not very right pastors will correct me and this is not theological but under my breath i say satan go to hell that's exactly what i say because it helps me to say you're not you don't belong here this is this mind is too precious if the country america can protect this territory i am a lot more important to god than the country because i god died for me and i am going to protect and if thoughts come in they will always come but i will say listen you are not welcome here pack your bags and leave and they will say well here's i got some papers i said those fake papers they're not real these are the real papers get away with those fake papers god says this is who i am and i'm gonna stand and i can somebody say man so i want to challenge you right now that these are the lies that the enemy uses to build a stronghold to build himself a house and god wants to demolish this house in the conclusion of this message i am gonna just share with you two truths i've shared with you three lies and i'm gonna share with you two truths okay very simple just two truths i want you to write down two truths that will help you i'm not saying it will change everything but it will help to get it started the first truth if you are writing it down write down is this say you have to be convinced that god loves you more than you know in Ephesians chapter 3 verse 19 says the following know the love of christ that means you have to know the love of christ which passes understanding you know what apostle paul is saying he says i want you to know that christ loves you more than you know this is the first step of a truth that begins to set your life free when it comes to relationships when it comes to finances when it comes to any area of your life it has to start with this that god loves me not only when i am good not only when my day is good not only when the person behind me in starbucks space for my coffee or the person in front of me not only when the people that i like like me back not only when everything is fine in my family god loves me at my worst at my best he loves me this is the truth that builds a mind that allows the holy spirit to the wonders in your life the lie is is what you feel the truth is what god says jesus says in john chapter 3 verse 16 the following he said for god so loved the world for god so loved if it's a word the third part there that says so i remember taking people always ask me how did you overcame all of your insecurities it was that verse and it was that third phrase so so not only god cared not only god was sympathetic not only god was willing to overlook not only god was willing to pardon not only god was willing to forgive but he loved that means affection that means feelings were involved that means he felt it and the part that got me and they like a hook like a fish that got on a hook that's how i got on this verse is that little hook that says for god so loved so not just loved so loved and who he loved saints pope priests pastor the holy people the world the mess the messed up people you and me go right in into that part world an amazing part is that a lot of people told you that they love you but many people have done very little to prove anything but god says i know you will doubt that i love you i know that you will question that i love you so i am going to back it up with the undisputable evidence i will give everything i got to prove to you once for all if you ever feel like i don't love you i'll give you a proof it's going to be the cross and this is where the truth begins the truth does not starts with your awesome the truth does not start with your handsome the truth does not start with your successful the truth does not even start with you are righteous this truth starts is with this god who is infinitely powerful who is so holy and so righteous he chose to love you not because you loveable not because you're worthy of it but because he is love when you allow that truth to come inside as a leader as a young person or as a person who maybe just walked into the church or maybe a person who's fed up with church and religion i'm going to tell you what this truth will do it will do exactly same thing that a warm temperature in the room will do to an ice cube it will slowly begin to melt ice nothing melts lies like an overwhelming sensation there is a god and he deeply loves me especially when i am that world part because i know that he loves me when i gave money to somebody when i did something good when i witnessed to somebody and it feels so good but it's when i am the world part when i act like the world live like the world that's where most of us are convinced he doesn't love me and that's where god says he loves so the world you the mess you the lying hypocrite you the betrayer backstabber you the cheater you the thief you the you that you don't like you the one that you hate you that you he loves so much oh i know you know that god loves the you that you want to be i know that god loves the you you plan to be at the end of next year the you that you pray to be one day but the you that's in the mess does that god love if you don't know that he loves the you that's the world you have a lie and it will defeat you the bible says while we were yet sinners christ died for us when he died not when we realized we were in the mess and when he changed he died we were still doing our sin and then christ died this what has to come deep inside of your heart that he loves me not when i get better he loves me so i can get better without his love you won't get better he loves the world if you ever feel like you qualify you're a candidate before jesus said the verse he said something else in the verse 15 14 he talked about to nicotine as he says that as the moses lifted a serpent bronze serpent in the wilderness and he says so god will lift his own son that whoever looks to jesus that he will be saved as in the day of moses people look to the serpent and they got saved and when you read that something strikes you at the heart because you realize this is the first time Jesus compares himself to a snake he compared himself to a lamb a lion a snake a snake is bad a snake is symbolic of satan but jesus is saying that as this bronze serpent means it wasn't a real snake it was a made snake out of a bronze it looked red was lifted so whoever had bitten by a snake will look to it and they would be healed jesus is saying what's going to happen on the cross god will make me according to currentians a sin i'm not just going to be paying for your sin i will be your sin without ever doing anything sinful when did jesus became sin did he hit somebody no did he do anything sinful no he became sin when god the father placed the sin right on him he became a serpent why so that anytime you doubt how can i be righteous without doing right things that you will look to jesus and ask the question how did he become sin without doing sin to receiving it and if he died never doing one sin but because god placed it on him and god shone his back knowing he never did anything right wrong it's just not his sin god you have to understand that his heart is clean his life is clean it's just this one event you can't turn your back on him see god's head knew i have to turn my back on him so that when you didn't do anything right but you have his right he says he can turn his face toward you and anytime you doubt and you say there is no way god can be so good look at how angry he was when jesus didn't do anything wrong but had sin on him this is the foundation of destruction of a wrong mindset god loves me i know some of you have a little panic inside are you giving people excuse to sin i've seen people get filled with the revelation of god's love the last thing is on your mind is to sin but when you tell people what to do and what not to do they want you they don't have the power because his love is the power the first truth deliberates you you have to embrace it deep inside of your heart is the way i am not the way i know you pastor and your people know you people on facebook know you are people on instagram know you but the way you know you the mess you are in struggles that you are in the inconsistency that you got the one step forward three steps backwards that world you god loves it's an explainable love it's a reasonable love it's mad love there's no reason for this love if you don't receive this you can't change this melts your eyes and it helps you to rise up and do what god wants you to do and somebody say man the number two truth we said two truths second truth so the first truth is that no god loves you more than you know so that means the very moment you find out that god loves you he loves you a little bit more now he always loved you more but it's just that moment even right now as i'm speaking i know some of you the love of god is increasing more but remember the truth you have to know that he loves you a little bit more you'll be freeing some of you you'll be free from condemnation free from sin and free from shame the truth number two don't think on the level of your circumstances think on the level of the word of god don't think on the level of the circumstances think on the level of the word of god roman chapter 12 verse 2 is the famous verse which talks about conforming renewing our mind so that our life can be changed and this says the following do not be conformed to the world by bitches form but the renewing of our mind i want you to understand the first part of it which says do not be conformed that means a person's mind cannot be changed until they have to give themselves permission not to let their mind come down to the level of their feelings or to the level of their circumstances do not be conformed to the world means don't let your mind come down to the level of your feelings your feelings can be here your mind should be here you have to give yourself permission to do that not only to know god's love but also to not think on the level of your circumstances of your or your feelings but to think on the level of the promise of god when jesus was facing the death of lazarus and the bible says that everybody came and they were weeping and crying and jesus stood there and there was the smallest verse in the bible jesus wept his feelings dropped on the level of death he wept in an instant he's a show me the tomb how can someone who just is grieving can go and raise the man from the dead because while he was weeping on his level of the mind he was right here his emotions dropped to death his mind stayed on resurrection and many people feel like when you're facing a tomb and your emotions are sky rocking back and forth and you let your mind drag your drag it also to the bottom be like jesus feel the bottom think on the top feel death think resurrection feel despair think light of god feel that insecurity you will feel it inside of you will be so real tears will be rolling down the eyes but when the tears are finished rolling you have to say show me the tomb because he who lives inside of me is greater and he who comes against me you say say possible if jesus did it you and also can do it it's okay to feel on the level of your circumstances it's okay to feel on the level of your past but do not let your mind give it don't give it permission to go with your with your feelings let your feelings go where they go but you tell your mind you're not following feelings you're following what god said because the feelings are like weather they always change they always betray and lie to me one day they feel this another day they feel that so mind you stick with me let feelings go where they go my mind you stick with the word of god which never changes it created the world it holds the world and it will hold my life give your mind permission not to follow its feelings give you my permission get let your feelings feel what they feel your mind is still here sometimes you will come to service and you had hell at home everything that could go wrong went wrong just little you just shattered and at that point you can never you may you may think well i can't i can't yes you can it's a permission you authorize you can at that moment the bible says let the weak say i'm strong what if every evidence of weakness is in your body and what if every evidence for strength is also at your disposal let your emotions feel the weakness let your mind embrace his strength i remember listening to a testimony of one lady young woman at the age of two she was on the horse and somebody was taking picture of her the flash from the camera spooked the horse the horse jumped really quickly and a little two-year-old girl on the horse jumped from the horse head down and had a severe brain injury because of that she developed seizures anytime she would have this epileptic attacks attacks it would render her body she would hurt herself and all these things were happening she would go to school seizures and this epileptic attacks that will continue to happen in school until her parents took her out of school out of the embarrassment because everybody made fun of her just to protect herself as same and they kept her in the house at the age of 13 or 14 she was qualified to have a special brain surgery during the brain surgery she had a stroke which made half her body completely useless after some time she recovered from stroke because the brain them brain surgery wasn't successful the seizures increased by four times and she was rendered useless for the rest of her life the only thing she would do with her mama she was sitting in front of a tv and they will watch this christian television where pastor would pray or one of the ministers one of the talk shows would pray for the sick one particular time a lady who was also with that man sitting in the chair and she says there is a girl you're a young woman you're watching me and i see a damage due to a horse injury done to your brain and god is healing that and this girl when she heard that it was like an ounce of air for somebody who's dying of suffocation and she grabbed it she says mom this is for me i believe and i'm healed next 30 days she didn't have seizures it was the most glorious day she's ever had she was walking around rejoicing and she was convinced she was healed until on the 30th day while doing some things in the kitchen out of control out of nowhere the seizures came back except this time as though all 30 days of seizures were combined into 30 minutes she was like a broken piece of metal shivering on the floor except this time not being able to control her body every voice in her head said see you're not healed see god didn't heal you and she says in that moment when literally hell not only her body was out of control but her mind seems to be flooded with the thoughts you're not really healed she says i in my own mind took the word of isaia 53 and against my feelings and against the evidence of my body shivering on the floor i started to scream in my mind by his stripes i am healed he's like i knew i looked like an idiot because in my mind there is nothing to hold on to accept this word i'm shaking on the seizures when the seizures were over everything was done she testified since that day it was seven years not one seizure you will say it works don't give your mind permission to go to the level of your feelings i'm not saying to change your feelings you can't control your feelings at times at times you can't control your circumstances at times you can't control how your body reacts you always can control what you think if you align it with the word of god some of you here today you are in that situation right now what you thought you were but the evidence is speaking against you that you're not you're broken shattered i'm giving you a life jacket please tell your mind it's okay to trust god when everything around you
