Turn in your Bibles to the book of Psalms Psalm 119 we're going to stand and read the entire Psalm Well at least you're listening We will read verses 89 through 96 and I will ask you to stand for that Psalm 119 verse 89 through verse 96 Forever, oh Lord your word is settled in heaven Your faithfulness endures to all generations You establish the earth and it abides They continue this day according to your ordinances For all are your servants Unless your law had been my delight. I would have perished in my affliction. I Will never forget your precepts for by them you have given me life. I Am yours saved me for I have sought your precepts The wicked wait for me to destroy me, but I will consider your testimonies. I Have seen the consummation of all perfection But your commandment is exceedingly broad. This is the word of God. Let us obey it. You may be seated We're going to talk tonight about that God is faithful So let me ask a rhetorical question of you is is God faithful anyone would say he's not Okay, you all affirm the God is faithful. So let me ask you this follow-up question. What does it mean that God is faithful? Be careful what you say yes to until you know what you're being asked I Remember years and years ago. I was teaching a Sunday school class in Southern, California And somebody came up and asked me this question. Do you agree with let go and let God? I'd never heard that phrase before but it sounded right. So I said, yeah, I guess I'm not responsible for anything. I say right after I teach My mind somewhere else Well, then I asked one of the pastors at the church. I Somebody asked me this question and Let go and let God and I said yes What is what is that and then he explained to me the Keswick Understanding of complete surrender. I don't do anything. God does it all he repents for me He obeys for me They say it this way.  Before you get Corraled so what does it mean that God is faithful?  The word in our text means dependable firm certain secure steadfast and trustworthy as well as simply faithful The root word for the Hebrew is a mom and I think you can sell that's a derivative of Amen Jesus himself used that often when he would say verily verily Now when we say something that we think is trustworthy we say amen at the end Which means let it be or it is true Jesus didn't wait till the end Jesus started off by saying this is true Like Beretta used to say take it to the bank the biblical idea of God's faithfulness is simply That believers can rest secure that God is totally reliable totally dependable and infinitely trustworthy Every day in a thousand ways we're confronted with this question Can I really trust God with my life? Actually, it'd be better and more accurately asked this way is God trustworthy. That's the question you're asking We almost choke when we say it like that if we're honest with ourselves. We have to admit. I really don't trust God. I Mean we can trust him to get us to heaven. We just can't trust him to get us through the end of the month financially But the reason we don't trust God is because we really don't know God Now that's been the recurring theme of my time with you these last few weeks Getting to know God as he has revealed himself in his word and that word is the final authority Not what you've always been taught Can't tell you how many times people have said to me. Well, I I don't understand what you said. He's yeah I've always been taught So Who cares? What you and I think about what God is like is irrelevant What God says about what he is like is eternally relevant You may have seen or heard somebody use this phrase. Well, God said it and I believe it and that settles it and You understand immediately that the middle part of that Can be tossed out There's only two parts necessary to that God said it that settles it and it doesn't really matter if you believe it or not Something is true if it's true whether you believe it or not There may be somebody in Russia who doesn't believe there's a Disney world There's still a Disney world. So I want us to look at the faithfulness of God under two headings God's declaration of his faithfulness and God's display of his faithfulness First let's look at what scripture says about the faithfulness of God I'll just give you these scripture texts. You can look them up Deuteronomy 7 9 Therefore know that the Lord your God He is God the faithful God Who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love him and keep his commandments Did you notice that that was restricted? He keeps mercy to a thousand generations to those people Now could it be any clearer or more explicit than that? God is the faithful God And our text from Psalm 119 told us that his faithfulness is to all generations But will you notice that the faithfulness of God in verse 90 is predicated upon the eternally settled word of God in verse 89 We don't know God his faithfulness primarily by our experience But primarily by divine revelation. We may know him some by experience But your experience is fallible and Your experience can't always be trusted and if you ever elevate your experience above scripture This is not the church for you I remember once when I was a single man Attending John MacArthur's church. We had so many single people in the church over 500 It was nice to have pickings But we had to hold our Friday night Bible studies in different locations. There were just too many people And in our particular study There were two wonderful people His name was Kelly her name was Helen and they started dating and we were all so excited Hey, maybe this will work and they got engaged And all we were just so had it couldn't have been nicer people Great for him We assume great for her and then after about a month she broke off the engagement And everybody was sad for them Broken-hearted. I know Kelly was And I sat down with her and I said Can I ask you about your decision? She says yes She was a school teacher at a private Christian school and I said I don't understand Is Kelly a Christian? Oh, yes, he also happened to be an elder at the church. I Said do you think he'd make a good spiritual leader? Oh, I can't imagine a better one You think he'd be a good father husband the best Does he have good character, yes Okay, I have to ask you one more question. What's the matter with you? What do you mean? You just affirmed everything a man should be in a intimate relationship like that and You don't want him Well My heart told me it wasn't right Your what your heart is Desperately wicked and more deceitful than anything. Why would you listen to that? The story was told of Donald Gray Barnhouse who preceded the late James Boyce at 10th Press in Philadelphia but after a sermon one young man came up to him and said dr. Barnhouse I just want you to know that I gave my heart to Jesus and dr. Barnhouse said what would he want with that dirty old thing God's word is settled forever in the heavens. That's what you trust You trust what this book says and you don't trust anybody or anything that disagrees with this book 2nd Peter 1 2 to 3 says that everything we desire is a byproduct of the knowledge of the true character of God He says grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord Seeing that his divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and Godliness through the true knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and excellence. That's the new American standards rendering everything pertaining The word pertaining is the root word for pertinent, which means having anything to do with It's granted everything to us that has anything to do with physical life and spiritual life Everything now if everything pertaining to life and godliness has been granted to us through the true knowledge of him What is that presuppose? There's a false knowledge That grants us nothing at all So we can deduce that a false knowledge grants us nothing because the true knowledge grants us everything, right? That's just logical So trusting God is a byproduct of the knowledge of the true character of God and in my opinion That's the greatest need the church has today a theology proper the knowledge of God. What is God like? That's what we're doing here The Old Testament is the unfolding of the character of God It's in the Old Testament. We see God reveal himself turn back with me to Genesis chapter 15 in this chapter God promises Abram. He's not Abraham yet. He's Abram and exceeding great reward Follow along as I begin reading at verse 1 after these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision saying Do not be afraid a Abram. I am your shield. You're exceedingly great reward But Abram said Lord God, what will you give me seeing I go childless and the heir of my house is Eleazar of Damascus Abram's response shows that he's a product of his culture Reward Talk to me about a reward. I don't even have a son now Abram at this point was over a hundred years old Sarah is over 90. I don't really even have to mention the bad thinking I on God's part. Do I I mean? Let's look at conjugal realities If grandpa's over a hundred and grandma's over 90 and they say we want to have children now Yeah, and that's what Sarah did God You seem to have forgotten physical realities. I'm over a hundred. She's over 90 We don't do that anymore, but you know what? When God wants to do something There are no obstacles At this point God told him to do something interesting He said verse 5 he brought him outside and said look towards heaven and count the stars if you're able to number them And he said so shall your descendants be What do you do when God says go out and count the stars you go out and count the stars One two three four five six seven eight nine ten one thousand five one thousand six one thousand two two million nineteen two million twenty three And then you lose count and you got to start all over again I put yourself in Abram shoes for a moment You don't even have one son much less millions. How are you supposed to respond to this? What are you supposed to do when God tells you to do something that you think is wacky? I mean for example take Jesus and Peter Peter said I haven't caught a fish all night. Throw your net on the other side No, you didn't hear me. I've been here all night If those fish were gonna get in the net they'd have done it on this side of the net just as easily on that side of the net It doesn't really work to argue with God He knows what he's doing Peter put your net over there All right You're a carpenter and you're telling me a fisherman how to fish whoa All of a sudden he can't pull them in there's so many When God tells you to do something you think is wacky you do something wacky Why because God said to what are the reason do you need and the very next verse verse 6 says Abram believed God Some translations say in the better translation simply say Abram believed God You know for you as a Christian the question is not do you believe in God? That's pretty apparent Do you believe God and it was reckoned to him as righteousness now? What form did Abram's belief take? obedience Abram could see the stars, but he couldn't see the future And to this point we must remember that the mercies of God are called sure mercies never swift mercies It's also The question for us you believe God Initially Abram's response was controlled by his finite understanding of the situation What he could see and experience not the reveal character and trustworthiness of God All he had to go on was the word of God and my friend sometimes that's all you and I have to go on Sometimes the word of God is all we have to support and sustain us remember Satan's attempt to Destroy Christ and Matthew 3 The Bible tells us that Jesus was baptized and As he came up out of the water a voice from heaven This is not like one of your baptisms over here in the lake It doesn't happen at your baptism But after Jesus's baptism a voice from heaven says this is my beloved son With whom I am well pleased Okay, I'd believe it if that happened If after my baptism a voice from heaven Not some ventriloquist somewhere, but an actual voice from heaven came out of the clouds and said he's mine and I'm happy with him And then it says Immediately Jesus was taken by the spirit Into the wilderness to be tempted. He's there 40 days 40 nights No food then Satan says then the tempter came to him How interesting he didn't come to him right after his baptism He didn't come to you right after you get back from church camp He waited till he was in the weakest possible position. I asked a medical doctor once what would happen to a man If he was by himself Isolated did not eat for a month and a half and didn't have any human contact He says he would be delirious He would be depressed He would have lost about one-third of his body weight and he would be struggling to stay alive and Then the tempter came there and said If you're the son of God Now what was the last thing Jesus heard before this the last words he heard were this is my beloved son and The next words he hears are If you're the son of God That's what he did with Adam and Eve Has God said The last words they heard from God were You can eat anything here except that one right there. Don't touch it No, he didn't say don't I don't eat from it Now when Satan comes he says really is that what God said and Eve distorted what God had said He said don't eat from it or touch it lest you die We have no record that God ever said don't touch it good idea I mean why play with fire But then she let her experience take over when she saw that the tree was desirable Look good her focus has gone now She's not focusing on God. She's focusing on the immediate situation in Christ's situation What did his circumstances tell him does he trust his senses his feelings his Experiences or does he trust what God said? How far are we supposed to take this? Write down these scripture texts and you can read them for yourself later tonight Psalm 46 verses 1 to 3 the psalmist basically says I don't care what I see Though the mountains quake and the oceans tremble and the mountains be pulled into the sea You know, how would it be if when I finally let you go here tonight? You walked outside and there's nothing there. I Don't mean different stuff. I mean it's black gone. Everything is gone Lord What's going on here The psalmist says I don't care what I see And in Psalm 77 he says I don't care what I feel verses 7 to 14 In Habakkuk chapter 3 verses 17 to 18. I don't care what I experience or In Job chapter 13. I don't care if God kills me. I'm still going to trust it Now how can these people come to these conclusions? Because my experience does not alter the revealed character of God and I dare not elevate my Experience over God's word for example Bible says my God shall supply all your needs through his riches in Christ Jesus But I'm in a terrible marriage and my needs are not being met. I thought you believed the word which just says My God shall supply all your needs You don't have a need you have a desire Well, I have a need to be happy You don't there's no command in the Bible to be happy You're not sinning by being unhappy. You might be sinning by complaining about it. You don't need a 55 inch TV You may desire one, but you don't need one In fact, you don't even need a TV at all. We'd all be better off without them But if my God says that he will supply all our needs through his riches in Christ Jesus And I say but I have a need which one of us is lying Okay, the Bible says that God will supply all my needs and I think I need something So I guess I don't Needs are what God meets and yet You know for a wife or a husband to go to their partner and say you're not meeting my wants That just doesn't sound quite as impactful. Yeah, so Well, I want something from you Yeah, so You're insensitive I'm a guy. So how can these people Affirm God when all of their senses and all of their circumstances scream otherwise It's the same question Abram asked what proof do I have? Isn't that what he said? He said, how shall I know? I mean wouldn't God have been justified in responding like this Excuse me. How shall you know? You know because I said that's the way it would be That's how you shall know listen if you can't trust me I'll find somebody else to bless. See ya Now if I was God, that's how it would have happened. That's how I know that scenario God would have been justified in doing that to Abrams unbelief. Fortunately It's not what God determined to do. God said you're going to have a son. What happened?  He's dying and Jesus says It's not time yet No, he's dying. It'll take us days to get there Not time yet Then the word comes that Lazarus has died and Jesus says all right, let's go If you'd been a disciple, can you imagine the looks you'd have given Jesus now it's time So he makes the trip they all walk to where Mary and Martha's house is Martha comes out and really gives Jesus the what for? You know, if you've been here this wouldn't have happened. Thanks for nothing Jesus says to You're worried about too many things You don't need to worry about this. There's only one thing is needful. That's that you be in a right relationship to God That's the only need you have when you start talking about needs. He says only one thing is needful That's the only need you have by the time they get to the house Lazarus has been dead three days He says to the disciples Time now Can you imagine the rolling of the eyes? Now it's time Yes, go roll away the stone.  They'll say you weren't even dead. He was just sleeping in there Why you would go into a grave and roll the stone behind you to sleep? I'm not sure So he sends a couple of disciples to go check on him and they come out and he says is he dead?  She says I've never known a man. It's too soon She had a son Mary and Martha's case it's too late Abram and Sarah were too old None of that Kept God from doing what he wanted to do in Hebrews 13. God commands us to be content turn with me to that passage, please Hebrews chapter 13 I Know it's a familiar one to you in verse 5 He says let your conduct be without covetousness be content with such things as you have Notice the next phrase for he himself has said I'll never leave you or forsake you in the English rendering. There are two negatives Never and nor but in the Hebrew there are five negatives This is the most emphatically negative statement in the Bible This is a quote by the way from the Old Testament. That's why I'm saying in the Hebrew If we rendered it literally it would read like this I will not leave you No, I will not forsake you under no circumstances. No, I most certainly will not Get the point and please don't miss why we're to be content in that verse for he has Said it's because of what God has said about himself were to be content not because it works out the way we wanted to We believe because that's what God said God said it and that settles it now in response to Abrams question back in Genesis about how he could know God's answer was this On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abrams saying to your descendants I've given this land you don't make a covenant by the way you cut a covenant Circumcision on a male child is a covenant. It's a cutting of the flesh literally God had Abram collect certain animals Now in that day when two people cut a covenant they use prescribed animals They would cut the animals in half from head to toe or beak to toe They would lay the halves of the animals side by side and the two parties would walk barefoot Through literally the blood of the covenant What's the significance of that The two parties were saying to each other If I fail to keep my part of this covenant you may do to me what we did to those animals Pretty great insight for a man to keep his word wasn't it if I don't keep my word I die Now what's the significance of the fact that God put Abram to sleep and pass through the pieces of the animals himself? Simply this God wasn't going to trust the success of this covenant to Abram and as Hebrews tells us since he could swear by no one greater He swore by himself And in doing so he virtually announced to the world if I ever fail to keep my word I will cease to exist You know that's better than cross my heart and hope to die stick a needle in my eye Back now that I think of it.  What's the outcome? Genesis 21 then the Lord took note of Sarah as he had said and the Lord did for Sarah as he had promised and Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age at the appointed time When did Sarah have a son? at the appointed time It may not have been Sarah's time But it was the time that God had in mind God may or may not work on our time schedule In fact, he rarely does would you agree? But that's not important. What is important that you and I work on his time schedule We can trust God because of what he's said because of his character because of his trustworthiness Not because he has lived up to our expectations Again hymns are terrible places to get your theology Jesus Jesus how I trust him how I've proved him or and or In that song the basis for trusting God is that he's come through That's not the basis for trusting God Doesn't matter how many times you've proved him or and or that has no bearing on anything we can trust God because of Scripture truth your experience is not a greater standard than scripture truth Well, it didn't happen that way for me so Scripture must define and validate our experiences not the other way around And it's so important to remember here that based on the immutability of God The fact that God neither can nor will change we must remind ourselves if God is ever faithful He will always be faithful Since he cannot change if he's faithful once he must be eternally faithful what God is he always is Now go back to the Psalm 119 passage Because we can see that as well here God's word according to verse 89 is unchangeably fixed His faithfulness is to all generations. He has established the earth and it abides Now watch closely the next part they Continue to this day according to thy ordinances the word they is a plural word The word earth is a singular word So what does they refer to? It has to refer to something more than the earth. What does it refer to to God's faithfulness and The earth you see even God's faithfulness is dictated by his ordinances, which is his word We will have no more trust in God's faithfulness than we have in his word And we will trust in his word proportionately to the time spent studying it Notice also the illustration that God gives us of his faithfulness. It is the constancy of his creation You have established the earth and it abides. There's a constancy in the seasons You wouldn't know that living in Florida where it's 80 degrees in February But in the rest of the civilized world where they actually have seasons it is that way You have two seasons here in Florida unbelievably hot and not quite as hot That's it summer always follows spring which always follows winter Which always follows fall? Which always always follows summer it never changes. It's forever the same. It's always fixed They always follows night The sunrise comes every morning the evening comes every night forever the same Fire is always hot Ice is always cold the law of gravity never changes the tides are always subject to the moon Dogs always bark cats always purr cows always have cows they never have puppies and On and on it goes These things are fixed by a fixed deity They are unchanging because he is unchanging these are just illustrations of his character It's because nature is so fixed that we apprehend the God of nature to be so faithful God is faithful says the Scripture But his faithfulness is only an illustration of his unchanging nature the immutability of God is the foundation of his faithfulness He can't change He can't mess you up by doing it different He can't fail because he can't change and Something that is forever the same is by its very nature trustworthy because it's certain and sure He is as the Scripture tells us forever the same There's no variation or shadow of turning with him. That's what we sing If you don't believe that don't sing it. You don't praise God by lying to him The world passes away. We're told but the word of the Lord abides forever And if the faithfulness of God shows itself so clearly in this Temporary world how much more can we count on the faithfulness of God's word which has a vastly higher place in the councils and Fulfillments of eternity back to psalmist tells us God has exalted his word above his very name And his faithfulness is predicated upon that exalted word When we look at the matter of God's faithfulness, we have to realize that his faithfulness is first to himself And to his own purposes In other words God could no more fail to be faithful and he could fail to exist The assurance of our salvation is predicated upon God's faithfulness faithful is He who called you who will bring it to pass If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins Etc. And when God wants to distinguish his faithfulness for many lesser kind in numbers 23 He compares himself to man. God is not a man that he should lie and to show you what kind of lie He's incapable of it's that of not doing what he says he will do God said it That settled it. Let me ask you this. When is God shown himself to be untrustworthy? When is he failed to be faithful? I mean, isn't the question really this one? When is he failed to live up to my expectations and when did God promise he would do that?  I did a little counseling for a Couple about to get married. So the first thing I want you to do is write down all your expectations And I said I said did you know any of those expectations? I had no idea So you think you could live up to that list? He was nobody could live up to that list. I Said the same thing to her Did you know that that's what he expected of you after marriage? No Can you live up to that I'm not even going to try Expectations will kill a relationship particularly the ones that aren't spoken Well, I just naturally assumed that you were going to and why would you assume that for a moment? Did I ever tell you I was going to do that? Well, no, I just assumed John Collings was a 17th century Puritan and he wrote a massive work on Providence He has an entire sermon where his point is that God rarely answers the expectations of his people He shows that God always fulfills his promises, but he's under no obligation or inclination to live up to our Expectations, which are largely self-centered So often we think that if we understand things we have control of them Christ continually checked the curiosity of his disciples and their questions They said when is it time to restore the kingdom to Israel? He says not something you need to know When Peter asked him, what shall this man do? Christ said him, what's that to you? How is that your business? We want to know everything and see it all up front and yet faith is the evidence of things what? not seen The scripture gives us two grounds for trusting God one is his word and the other is his track record and In the mind of God both of those are sufficient without any further proof Is there assurance of salvation what Jesus said of all those that the Father has given me? I've never lost one Good enough for me I'd hire a guy who base said that on his resume All of that was the first point Now we'll look at the second one more briefly. I promise The display of God's faithfulness Well, what I'm going to call God's track record the psalmist declares in Psalm 89 one I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever with my mouth Will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations and here again? We have the idea of telling ourselves and others the truth. There's a movie coming out around Christmas time Called unbroken It's about some of you older folks will know this name Lewis Zamparini Back in the first half of the last century. He was an Olympian Great track star and then he was a war hero excuse me, he was shot down over the ocean and rescued and put in a Japanese prisoner of war camp Where he was beaten regularly In 1949 by the way, he was converted at a Billy Graham crusade in Los Angeles Very anxious to see The father would puts that in the movie, but when he was training For in high school to run track He would as anybody else would Run out of gas He said to his dad who was training his dad to keep going. He's dead. It hurts Louis if you can take it you can make it and That's the same to him when he was getting beaten in prisoner of war camp And he said to the other guys if you can take it you can make it You know, there are so many things that come out of our mouths Here are two that would be more helpful to us than ninety nine point nine percent of them The mercies of God and the faithfulness of God. You want to do something interesting ask your parents if they're believers How'd you ever make it? Not only in marriage, but just my folks had five boys My dad called us his house apes as far back as I can remember when he became a California Highway patrolman His take-home pay was two hundred and fifty dollars a month and they took fifty dollars a month out of his check For his gun in his uniform So he took home 200 a month With five boys. I don't know how they did it I mean, I know we didn't have much Our lunch sack had to last the entire week lunch box please We had that French delicacy mustard sandwiches mustard between two slices of bread You know, we bought for 18 years that that actually was a French delicacy Because the mustard was French's brand and a handful of potato chips and an apple And I remember other kids opening their lunch box and seeing something called twinkies. I Want one You want to trade a mustard sandwich? Yeah, that'll work. Ask your parents. How did they make it? Let them tell you about God's faithfulness And yet when I watch clips the old home movies that they've had put on DVDs for us every Christmas There were Christmas presents under the tree bicycles Microscopes every birthday there was a cake. I don't know how they did it Well, I do know how they did it because I've become parents and said they sacrificed They did without so that we could have Let him tell you about that it will greatly increase your appreciation for them We should be reminding ourselves on the mercy of God We should be telling ourselves and our children and our grandchildren of God's faithfulness Talk to them about it Tell them about it The reason to study the Old Testament is to see the repeated faithfulness of God to his people and to his purposes And that's why we sing this hymn great is thy faithfulness When the psalmist declares I've never seen the righteous for sake and he gives us a good example He may have felt forsaken And you may have felt forsaken you've never been forsaken and There's a vast difference between feeling forsaken and being forsaken Christ was forsaken You're not and that perfect track record involves us as well One of my favorite passages of the scriptures in first Corinthians where Paul that makes this declaration God always leads us in his triumph and Manifests through us the sweet aroma of him in every place now. That's two universal statements in one sentence Here's the setting Paul had gone to Troas to preach the gospel and he says the door was wide open I mean that's like you going around doing door-to-door evangelism Hi, I don't know who you are But I've been wanting to find Jesus could you come in and tell me how I could do that That's that situation But Paul was unable to find Timothy upon whom he depended greatly for support in fellowship So he says so I left and moved on and I've heard people castigate Paul poor Paul He was so lonesome no fellowship But for whatever reason Paul didn't do that and here's how he assessed the situation God always leads us in his triumph What does that mean it means that since God can't fail I can't fail either Because God always leads us in his triumph and notice whose triumph it is God's triumph not yours God's and He always leads me in it. That's a perfect track record I'm in Christ and he never fails so I can't fail either But there's a second part to this that I love How many times have you and I in times of self-deprecation and over Self-condemnation felt that as a Christian we just stick the joint up Am I the only one? I saw all of you bail on me when I said that God, I'm so sorry for the way I live today. I just stick the joint up No, you don't He always leads us in triumph and Manifest through us the sweet aroma of himself in every place It's his triumph, but the aroma comes through us How many times have we let God down and ruin would seem like a perfect opportunity and yet We've got to tell ourselves the truth God always leads me in his triumph and manifest through me the sweet aroma of himself in every place He always does that he never does not do that So no matter how down on yourself you get You can't If God says otherwise It's our job to be faithful of this God's job to be successful and he never fails not at himself and not in you and not in me So the first way we learn about the faithfulness of God is through his revealed word. The second way is through our afflictions In Psalm 191 David declares if it hadn't been for God's law his word He would have perished in his afflictions and he said it is good for me that I was afflicted and The reason it was good is that drove him and forced him to the scriptures It is good for me that I was afflicted that I may learn your statutes We're studying the doctrine of the faithfulness of God, but it's through God's afflicting hand. We learn by experience what's taught in Scripture God said it and that settles it you better believe it One last thing Psalm 139 one tells us we're to sing of the mercies of the Lord forever And that with our mouth were to make known God's faithfulness to all generations. What a heritage to leave behind What a legacy to give our children our grandchildren our lifelong stories of the faithfulness of God That is what we are to tell them Let us make that our goal to instruct our posterity in the faithfulness of God Let's pray Heavenly Father, we thank you for your testimony about your faithfulness You said it and that settles it and now may we live according to the word in Jesus name. Amen


So it turns out that extreme points come in one of a few different ways from the examples we saw before we see a couple of pictures here. So the one we're going to see the most often is going to be something like this that you have like we'll just focus on maximum for a moment. Similar examples could be drawn for minimum, minimum values. So if you have a maximum value, what likely is going to happen is you get this graph with this nice rounded term. The function goes from increasing on the left hand side to decreasing on the right hand side. And in particular, at the point where it switches from increasing to decreasing, you see that there's this horizontal tangent line. The tangent line is very flat. It's perfectly flat at the top at this maximum value. And this happens exactly when the derivative is equal to zero. But on the other hand, like we saw with the absolute value, it could be that you go from increasing to decreasing. You know, I went from increasing to decreasing. You see that shift that makes it a maximum value, but it wasn't in a smooth transition. There was a sharp corner.  You got to watch out for those things. Well, because there's a sharp corner, this actually means that the derivative is undefined. The derivative doesn't exist at that point. So for searching for extreme, we can find them with horizontal tangent lines when the derivative is equal to zero or we can find them when the derivative is undefined. And then because of the boundary, we see that if you are on the boundary of the curve, there was no increasing. But if you start to decrease, that would give you a local maximum. And if you're on the right side of the boundary, if you were increasing, but then suddenly stop at this boundary point, that also would be a maximum. So boundary points make sense because of the sudden start or stop. Those could easily be extrema. But what about these places in the middle which have horizontal tangent lines or no tangent lines? In fact, turns out these ones will be hiding inside the middle of the domain. So that leads us to our next definition. We say that a critical point of a function is a point C comma F of C. So this has the X and Y coordinates there. It's a critical point if the derivative is zero at that point or the derivative is undefined at that point. So those are like the pictures we saw earlier. Does it have a rounds transition or a sudden transition because of sharp point? Turns out that if your derivative is undefined, a lot of other weird stuff can be going on as well. Now, because of a theorem due to Fermat, if a function F has a relative extrema at C, then it turns out that this C corresponds to a critical point or a coincides with the endpoint of the domain. So it turns out the only way you can get an extrema where the four pictures we saw before, your derivative is zero, your derivative is undefined or you're on the boundary is the only way we can get an extreme value. So let's consider those for examples. So definitely if you're on the boundary, we can see where that can be an extrema. That doesn't have to be an extrema, right? This is something we have to be very cautious about. If a number is on the boundary, it doesn't mean it's an extrema. If a number is a critical number, that doesn't mean it's necessary on the extrema. Take, for example, the function Y equals X cubed, for which if we graph that real quick, its graph would look something like the following. This graph has no extrema, Y equals X cubed. Notice if I take the first derivative, you're going to get 3X squared. When is this thing equal to zero? That happens exactly when X equals zero. So the origin represents a critical point on the graph. It's critical, but it's not an extreme value. It's not an extreme point. So we see why if a point is critical, then it's not necessarily an extrema. What we're saying, though, is if you have an extrema, it has to be on the boundary or it has to be a critical point. So let's assume it's not a boundary point. We can see how that's taken care of. Well, what if it's a critical point? Critical points mean the derivative is either zero or the derivative is undefined. So let's throw out that possibility. Let's assume that the derivative does exist at C. We then have to argue that if it's an extreme value and the derivative exists, then the derivative has to equal zero. And for the sake of argument, let's assume that C is a local maximum. The case of a local minimum is handled similarly. And so what we anticipate, our graph is on the graph. We anticipate something like the following. We have some maximum value for which there's a neighborhood. So we have our maximum value here, C comma F of C, right? My picture seems to suggest that it should have a horizontal tangent line, but I'll show you exactly why that is from this theoretical point of view. So we have these other points, A comma F of A. And then we have this point right here, B comma F of B, F of B. All right. So if you, in terms of the X coordinate, if you are somewhere in this neighborhood, let's just say that it's a delta neighborhood. So this is a circle, a circle whose radius is equal to delta. So if the distance between X to C is less than delta, then because it's a local maximum, that implies that the Y coordinate will be less than F of C for all numbers inside of this neighborhood right here. Now, if F of X is less than F of C, less than or equal to F of C, you could subtract F of C from both sides. We're going to get that F of X minus F of C is less than or equal to zero. So it's non positive, it's zero, or it's a negative number. Now, if X is bigger than C, so it's to the right of C, that means X minus C is positive, and if you take a negative divided by a positive, that'll be a negative value. So F of X minus F of C over X minus C is less than or equal to zero. Notice we have a difference quotient right here. If I take the limit as X approaches C from the right, because again, we're considering we're a little bit bigger than C, if we take the limit of the difference quotient, because the difference quotient is less than or equal to zero, the limit of the difference quotient will be less than the limit of zero, which since it's a constant, it has to be zero. This is the right handed limit. But of course, if we consider the other side, what if X is a little bit less than C? Well, that means X minus C will be negative.  So F of X minus F of C over X minus C is greater than or equal to zero. So we this time get that the difference quotient is positive. If we take the limit of the difference quotient, that should be greater than or equal to the limit of zero, which must necessarily is equal to zero. So notice what we see here is that the right handed limit of the difference quotient is zero, the left handed limit of the difference quotient is zero. And since the limit of the difference quotient exists, because that's the derivative, F is differentiable at C, we see that the two-sided limit of the difference quotient must be less than or equal to zero and greater than or equal to zero. How many numbers can you think of that are less than or equal to zero and greater than or equal to zero? Oh, there's not a lot. F prime of C has to be between sandwiched between zero. Oh, it's equal to zero itself. And that improves that the derivative of an extreme value, if it exists, must equal zero. That is, you must have a horizontal tangent line at an extreme value. If the derivative exists.


Now DUI defenses a lot of people ask me what defenses are there if I gave a blood or breath test I've been stopped I've got the ticket now I'm here to see you what can I do well the defenses are numerous and the diverse first there's no actual physical control what does that mean under Arizona law you have to actually be operating a motor vehicle in order to be cited for DUI people say well I didn't feel well I pulled off the roadway I put my car in park but I left the engine on to run the air conditioner or the heater if it's winter time gosh was I an actual physical control the answer is no under the law if you voluntarily relinquish control and you merely use it as stationary shelter that being your car you have a defense another defense no reasonable suspicion to stop was I stopped because I was merely pulling out of a bar late at night or I was the wrong color in the wrong neighborhood that is one of the elements we look for another defense that we look for is no our denial of right to counsel once you said look I want to call my lawyer they don't let you call a lawyer or give you a phone in a phone book while you're in custody that reading can be suppressed in the whole case can be thrown out why because we would have told you hey get an independent blood test but your body has burned off that evidence by the time you see us we can never regain that opportunity and that's why if there's denial of right to counsel that's an issue no private phone call you do call a lawyer and we say hey ask off ask the officer for private phone call officer can you leave the room no I can't leave the room because the machine is next to you it's our policy we don't let you alone with the breath testing device well that's a defense it has a chilling effect we cannot talk to you in depth because you may say such things as well I had X amount to drink or I maybe took a smoke something or took some drugs so we're not going to ask you questions that will promote a verbal response in front of the officer but that is a defense to the charge breath testing flaws machines break all the time we get the standard quality assurance procedure the 31 day records the 90 day records and we will comb through those records blood testing devices same thing fermentation within the blood creates alcohol that's a defense might they call those microbials we also look for a coagulants if the anti coagulant powder in the bottom of the vial didn't work and there's a blood clot believe it or not the solid does not contain alcohol and that it raises the alcohol reading and the rest of the blood that's left in the vial that's the defense we'll actually go out and look at the vial and hire an expert who will retest that blood some of the other oddball defenses as we call them come down to come down to some constitutional issues on the timing did they wait too long before they charged you did they give you a blood destruction notice when you they didn't charge you sometimes up to a year later and since that time the second vial of blood that they keep so you can analyze it independently gets destroyed so there are many many many defenses to a DUI they can be beat we routinely beat them and that's why you need to give us a call so we can help you out on these


Welcome to Digital Asset News, we're going to get top stories and cryptocurrency digital assets and break them down into bite-sized pieces. Today we're going to go over three super important things. The first one is all about how much time you're going to actually have to cash out when the bull run hits. The second thing are psychological factors and how you will fail if you don't do these certain things. And lastly we're going to talk about exit strategies and limit orders. This is the most important aspect of this video so make sure you watch this video all the way to the end. And a quick note this is going to be an update to the bull run basics. It is August 5th 2020 and we need to go over a couple things which is the different exchanges and different on wraps and off ramps that we need to hit so we can be successful. How much time do we really have during a parabolic bull run? So let's take a look at that right now. Okay so we have our overall chart here. This is a Bitcoin chart going for about seven years from July 2013 to January 2020. All right so the question is how long do we have for a particular parabolic bull run because if you can see here this is a very long line of nothingness for years.  But what happens when we get over here? How much time do we really have when this thing goes parabolic which means it goes straight up? Let's take a look. So if we want to take a look at the start that'd be around November 12, 2017 for this last parabolic bull run. Now some people might put it a little bit more to the right, some people might put a little bit more to the left, but let's just say it starts around here. The price was $5,870 and the market cap was $97 billion. So remember this is November 12, 2017. So what happens when it hits the top and how much time was that? So we take a look at November 12th to December 17th it went from around the less than $6,000 all the way up to almost $20,000 in 30 days. Amazing. So really when we look at these types of things we're like wow we've got a month to decide where's the top and how much we're going to take and how much psychologically we can actually handle and make sure that we get rid of or sell out our positions because if not it's very easy to go well it was $6,000 down here and now it's $15,000 it'll go up well now it's $18,000 it'll go up now it's $20,000 it'll go up no oh it went down to $18,000 it'll go back up to $20,000 oh it went to $16,000 I'm sure it'll go back up what $15,000 see where I'm going with this? You have to be set and ready to pull the trigger because if not you will be a bag holder like me and Mr. B so that's how it goes. So moving forward what's going to happen if you don't there's this thing called a slow burn that's what I call it anyhow and there's just this big descending I guess it just goes down the toilet and you're just looking at like two months when you're kind of hoping and praying that it kind of goes up and sometimes it does go up a little bit you're like oh okay it'll go back up to the original amount and it just keeps slipping and slipping and slipping so from December 17th 2017 to February 5th now you're wrecked you went from essentially about 6,000 you could have sold out of 20 and now you're back down to 6,000 again and it all happens in a very short amount of time and the problem then then the problem continues on because as time moves forward you can drop down to like what we did in 2019 which was 5,000 and 4,000 then 3,000 so even if you got in at a pretty low amount over here at 6,000 you still got wrecked over here so you must be prepared to pull that trigger all right let's take a look one other type so let's take a look at XRP here's the overall type of market you can see this there's nothing going on I mean little blips here and there then there is this Mount Everest parabolic spike so when did that happen and how much time do we have so if we take a look at this it's going to start December 9th 2017 that makes sense right very base of Mount Everest so okay so we go from December 9th 2017 to and this is the endpoint we're only looking at January 5th 2018 again roughly about a month give or take couple days you've got a month to decide it goes from 25 cents to $3 and 26 cents so all this time that you have toiled and weighted and hodled all this comes down to 30 days 30 days are you sure that you can pull the trigger are you sure a lot of people say they can and then when it comes down to it same thing they just get caught up like it'll go back up it'll go going up it'll go even higher because you know there's this there's these bars and this technical analysis that says that you know it's uh it's going to go up and I think it's going to look I don't know what to tell you about technical analysis I mean I'm sure it's great for some people doesn't work for everybody um and I'm just going to tell you that you need to have a plan of action if you know a plan if you if you fail to plan you are planning to fail and let's take a look so this is again another what we call a slow burn so if you got two months just to kind of look at everything look at all your profits get eaten away down and up and down and up maybe you make the right decision maybe you don't maybe you you sell at the top of this descending channel maybe you sell down here then it goes up again you kick yourself then it goes down it goes up goes up so if you do something like this it's going to be very painful for you I can tell you from experience and then what happens after this slow burn you're in a wasteland and you're in a wasteland for years what I mean by that is you're essentially just walking the wasteland just out there just hoping for the next bull run just waiting for years there's nothing in sight just your bags as you're holding them trudging along in a never-ending pit of doom and despair yeah it's not that bad but it does suck let me tell you that so what do you do what can you do to avoid this it's very simple my friends take it from me take it from experience you can learn from mistakes but they don't have to do your mistakes here's what we need it's called an exit strategy and limit orders so we've already talked about exit strategies and I've actually revised mine and this is what we're going to go over next as far as the things that we need to do so let's break into that so here we have our what I call my two bitcoin exit strategy let's just say for example I had two bitcoin and I don't by the way but let's say I did have two bitcoin um what you're going to want to do is just kind of think to yourself okay where do I think bitcoin is going to sell off at right or where do are how high or how low do I think it's going to go so I believe it's going to go up to 250 000 and above over the years okay I don't know when I mean I have an idea of I think when there's different videos I talk about that but that's not for here we just want to figure out an exit strategy so let's just say let's say that within the realm of reason it is January 10th 2020 I think we can get to the all-time high back two years ago which was around 20 000 okay so I learned this from Mr. BXRP and he said that if you are looking for round numbers to sell off at it's not really you can do that it's fine just not a great strategy because everybody's going to do that and there's only so many sell orders that the exchanges can fill I mean within reason now maybe during a parabolic bull run everything gets filled but you want to make sure that your orders are filled so when you put it in at 20 000 dollars that someone's going to say I want to buy that or multiple people I want to buy that for 20 000 or you can do what is a pretty good example here is instead of going for round numbers mix it up a little bit because a lot of people are you know pretty basic they are going to go for the 20 000 30 000 40 000 just round numbers because it's super simple why don't you just do this instead of saying well I think it's going to be a 20 000 just back it off a little bit and go for these odd numbers so maybe 19 902 19 876 or whatever it doesn't matter what it is but around the number where you think that bitcoin might sell off so for me I think okay I think that we're going to hit an all-time high again it should be super not simple but attainable so I'm going to sell 10 percent so 10 percent of my two bitcoins that would be 0.2 bitcoins and what I'm going to have left is 1.8 makes sense right 2.0 and a 0.2 is 1.8 all right if it's at 20 000 and I sell 0.2 or 10 percent I'm going to get four thousand dollars fantastic made some profit everybody's happy right now I'm not going to sell until it gets to around 50 000 again I'm going to back it off a little bit maybe 49 000 980 I'm going to sell 10 percent of that so 10 percent of 1.8 is 0.18 and I'm going to have 1.62 bitcoin remaining so 1.8 at 0.18 equals 1.62 so if I'm going to sell 0.18 times 50 grand I'm going to make 9 000 fantastic everything's good and I just keep going down the list but what I want you to be aware of I never sell everything because who knows where it could go and you don't want to kick yourself later right so you see here at the end I still have a little more than than a half of bitcoin I got 0.6 let's say that at some point bitcoin goes to half a million dollars okay I'm not kicking myself for selling over here but I have to stay regimented I can pull the trigger I know what's here I don't have to deal with the psychological factors well should I wait I know I said this number maybe I should no it's set in stone done done dealing and if you want to make it even easier here's another another example I just said 0.25 all the way down instead of you know making different numbers so I'm going to sell a quarter when it's 20 000 a quarter when it's 50 quarter when it's 80 so on and so forth and you can see that it's the total is pretty close pretty close right but the total is uh not too shabby and hopefully make out pretty well so that's one example let's take a look at the xrp exit strategy so same type of thing I believe and actually I I change it a little bit so the old time all time high 2017 that we just talked about was 3040 so I'm going to sell at 318 okay let's say I have 30 000 xrp which I don't but uh be nice if I did so I'm going to sell 5 percent 5 percent of 30 000 is 1500 so if I sell 1500 at 3018 cents I'm going to make a profit of 4500 bucks great I still got 28 500 now I'm going to wait till it gets to around 10 I'm going to sell at 992 see where I'm going with this I'm going to sell 10 which is going to be about 2850 I have 25 000 left and I'm going to make 28 500 pretty good day not too bad for just sitting around doing nothing and then 19 and then 29 49 74 99 who knows what makes that but I want you guys to notice again I never run out I still got a little bit left in the tank because who knows we don't know now if you're a bitcoin maximalist you think I'm crazy and if you're an xrp maximalist you still think I'm crazy because either or you're like ah that coin will never happen because xrp and bitcoin and ethereum and tomato coin are awesome I don't care you have your whatever you think is awesome great have fun I'm not here to change the world I'm here to make a profit and yeah so if it changes the world in the process so much the better I will tell you this I'm going to root for every type of cryptocurrency digital asset out there because what's good for one is good for all and when the water comes into the harbor all the ships rise and I'm okay with that so that is our first part of our strategy the second part is well how do I make sure I pull the trigger because you could still be like you know what I know it's on my sheet which is on my computer but I think it'll still go up and you can very well do that so here's the second piece of the puzzle okay everybody before we move on we're doing an update this is august 5th 2020 I need to make mention of some different changes to the criteria of the bull market strategy so the first thing we're going to go into coinbase and coinbase pro and talk about limit orders and stop orders and all those different things which is you know great it's going to be a game changer for you but the thing is that as the bull run comes about there is going to be a lot of people that are trying to use these different exchanges as off ramps or on ramps or whatever else because all the FOMO so what you have to be sure of is that you have as many on ramps and off ramps as you possibly can get your hands on so what I'm talking about is if I need to sell my Bitcoin my XRP my Ethereum or whatever else it is if I just have coinbase it's not going to work out so hot for me because there has been different issues with outages and capacity and the same thing has happened with Binance I remember when I was around in 2017 people were selling their Binance accounts with zero cryptocurrency in them for hundreds and sometimes even thousands of dollars just to get the chance to buy the cryptocurrency so that was you know three years ago when everybody bought things on vapor there's really nothing there it was just white papers and hopes and dreams so if we start to look about what's happening right now with actual maintenance and projects and different these different products that actually have things going down the pipe where they're actually have partnerships there's going to be a lot of selling and a lot of congestion for these different exchanges so here's what I recommend so you can use Coinbase and Coinbase Pro I've talked about how I'm not a big fan of them because of the different outages that they had so I need you to make aware or be aware to go to other exchanges so I put together a list and it's going to be in the description of every one of my videos including this video it's going to be a link right here when you click on that link it's going to go to the exchange and wallet fees and overview and what this is is a google spreadsheet and it's going to go everything that I have used or am currently using or have reviewed in the past so I've got everything from Coinbase Coinbase Pro to my two favorites now which is Celsius and Voyager which is like my one-two punch Voyager is what I use to dollar cross average in it is commission free trading it works flawlessly it's very easy and then Celsius I use to gain interest and what's great about this spreadsheet is that when you you can look up everything as far as the rates the buying fees exchange fees selling fees conversions how much you'll get as far as for the interest so I just take a look at that and again because of everything Gemini Gemini Pro Uphold Abra Simple Swap Uniswap Kraken Cachefi Toro don't recommend that at all and then in evaluation for crypto.com and at the top is there are affiliate links you do not have to use those affiliate links you can go right to Coinbase and sign up you can go right to Voyager and sign up but if you use the affiliate links it can give you anywhere from 10 to 25 dollars depending on what you sign up for so again I cannot stress this enough just make sure you have as many on ramps meaning the place where you actually buy the cryptocurrency and off ramps where you can actually sell it when the bull run comes okay so we know that let's get into Coinbase and Coinbase Pro on the mirrors if you have a Coinbase account you're going to go if you have a Coinbase account you have a Coinbase Pro account all you have to do is log into Coinbase and then once you go to Coinbase Pro and you just hit on sign up or sorry login it'll say well it'll do some type of cross login type of procedure and you'll be in Coinbase Pro works out pretty well everybody's happy fantastic the reason why we have to use Coinbase Pro is because well first of all transferring funds between the two there's no fee and second of all you can do this thing called a market stop and limit orders you cannot do that on Coinbase regular now you can buy any type of digital asset cryptocurrency week by week on Coinbase or Coinbase Pro doesn't matter but there but you can't do automatic sell orders and this is the the magic piece the missing piece that you have to do and as much as I have even talked about it I just did this today before I made this video so yeah you need to have this in place so you know that you can pull the trigger now if you do that that means you have to leave your digital currency your cryptocurrency on an exchange and I thought you said not to do that true I did so you have to weigh the risks right now like if I had 30 000 I'm not going to put 30 000 on to an exchange what I'm going to do is for those two exit points so I need 1500 and 2850 so about 5000 XRP I'm going to take that and put it on the exchange if you it's up to you you can put all your XRP or all your Bitcoin or all your tomato coin on on the exchanges and just wait for those numbers to hit but at least at least do two or three different price points so you're not going eh I'll sell everything when it gets to you know 20x hint hint that's not going to happen so so we're going to log in great we're going to go to our pro account and if you notice here XRP there's nothing right but so what I'm going to do is I'm going to deposit it from my Coinbase account and there's two different options here so first you're going to select the currency and let's just pick XRP two different options crypto deposit or a Coinbase account I'm going to click on that and in my wallet I got X amount so let's see I want to take whatever I want to take let's see what was the first one up 1500 okay so I got I want to take 1500 XRP which is roughly $316 as of today and I'm going to deposit 1500 XRP into my Coinbase pro account from my Coinbase account super simple let's see how fast it is deposit your transaction on the way should arrive in about 10 seconds fantastic let's dismiss and let's see and there it goes so it took two seconds I'm going to let that one slide I'm going to let that slide so I got 1500 I'm going to put a sell order in not a market a limit there's market limit and stop we'll go over the differences in a bit so I'm going to put in 1500 XRP and the price I want to sell it at is $3.20 so there's going to be a fee of 24 bucks that's a bummer but I'm going to make $4,776 I think I'll be okay oh 318 excuse me it was 318 my bad 318 so I'm going to make this I'm going to make this I'm going to place the sell order and success that is in the system I don't have to worry about it I'm done I can put another order and I'm off the books I'm good to go so that's the secret sauce that's the missing piece and real quick let's go over what those different terms are so the overview of order types there's a market order which will execute immediately at the current market price we're not going to do that a stop order let's you specify the price at which the order should be executed and is useful for stop loss and similar strategies or a limit order which we just did lets you set your own price as well as set some advanced order execution options and there's different things like that but you can see how easy it is I don't want to get into the weeds just do it like that it should be okay


I want to be a little bit of a competition. I want you to take this seriously. The sergeants have put together a good package for us and I'm excited to see it. Two people on the line. Hey, two of you got to be carried out of time though. Two, one, now. Two, three, four, four. Seals. Safety's worth it. Safety. Line three, Alpha one. Lima one. Line six. November, line seven. Coffee, hot bread. One, two, three, four. So close, where do we go next? Two, three, four. Migrate, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Go, push with everything. Eighteen. Nineteen. Four, five, six, seven, eight. Five, six, seven, eight.


Okay, so before we hop into the game, which if you don't care about what I'm about to say, then you can just skip to the video when you see gameplay on the screen.   And God, when you get that much information about new FNAF stuff releasing very, very soon, at that time of night, I was gonna say day, at that time of night, it's stressful, especially when one of the biggest things to happen to this franchise, you know, the VR game being ported to mobile, is releasing that night. I stayed up till like midnight waiting for the game, it never came out, so I'm like, you know what, I'm just gonna end up being late, so I went to bed.  So yeah, I just want to get that across this whole event.  Well, I know everyone's out playing the game, they've already found secrets, apparently Glitchtrap. I don't want to spoil it for you guys, but he makes an appearance and he has like a secret voice line or something.  This whole day and all of last night have been, it's been so stressful and hopefully you guys can understand. So anyways, I don't want to waste any more time because I want to see what the heck is going on, not only with Princess Quest, which apparently is in the game, but also I just want to play the game on mobile. Like honestly, I'm so excited to play it on my phone. So yeah, here we go, smash like and subscribe and I'll see you all in game. I've heard a few things about the port, about how it's missing certain minigames I think. Um, ooh, okay, we're just gonna go with the default settings. Oh wow, that's so weird, that's so weird to see them on my phone dude, so I tap. Okay, I'm just gonna hit new game, and let's see, wait, it takes me, probably to the roller coaster, right? I'll just like cut that bit out. Welcome to the Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience.  So that's what I thought, pause, okay, that pauses the game. By completing these scenarios, more will become available. Interesting, okay, so. You'll see plenty of familiar faces and some new ones as well. So obviously. So let's stay a while and have a good time. Remember, despite the temporary horror you may experience, this is a completely controlled environment.  Please make a selection from the virtual menu. I will say I'm not a huge fan of how the controls are, I think they were inverted for some reason.  So I'm pretty sure that has something to do with Princess Quest, which as you can see will places the, oh you can't look behind you, that's so weird. It replaces the coins, which I don't know if I'm a fan of that. You know, like, alright can you stop actually, you're actually kind of annoying. Um, like getting all the collectibles was so fun, getting the tapes, the coins, all the prizes. This thing is going to drive me insane. Okay, so let's have a look. So we have an F1, an F2, dark rooms. Okay, so someone said that they were looking into adding more minigames in the future. I don't know how true that is, so I'm just going to take the award for it because I'm a little upset that we don't have all the minigames, but at the same time it's only $5, like that is a steal for a lot of the minigames. Okay, parts and service, interesting. Oh, they got rid of Ender and Vent repair. They got rid of all the night terrors. Okay, that's a little disappointing actually. So the prize counter, let's have a look. Uh, oh, smashed glass, that's what I love to see. And it looks like... Okay, so the prize is also here, which is really nice. So let's pick this up. Uh, yeah, it's like there's no tapes, really? I'm... I... Okay, I don't like that. Uh, man, getting all the collectibles was like one of my favorite things about Help Wanted. Alright, so I throw that. Throw... How do I... How do I throw something? Up, up. Okay, that's a little weird. Yeah. Man, I'm upset that we don't have any of the collectibles. Wait, how am I supposed to get Glitchtrap then?   A little... A little weird that they got rid of all the coins and the tapes. I'm not a huge fan of that. I'm also not a huge fan of Princess Quest being a mobile exclusive. You know... It's a little weird, it's some of the choices that they've made, but hopefully it all goes well in the end. Yeah, so I'm just gonna play a game. Let's do Nightmare Baby. Why not? Okay, so Flashlight and stop him on the X. Alright, let's continue. I know how to play this game. I've done it so many times. Alright, hey Hopi making a pizza. So let's have a look. Okay, so you do just tap. Now I'm gonna listen out for Baby. There's a pattern to this. So there's a... Him sitting down. That's him running. That's him sitting down, isn't it? That's him sitting down. Okay, so he's in the middle now. That's what I thought. Let's wait for another running sound. There it is. Okay, one more. That's a distraction. Nope, I thought I would have been there. That's weird. There we go. Okay, I got him. So the glitching is a little weird.  I don't know how often it does that. I know it does it in certain minigames. Well, maybe it doesn't in all the minigames. I don't really know. Alright, so let's get this. There's no wind. You can't crank the yank. What is this game? Alright, so I got the chica. Jesus Christ. Hey chica. Hey man. So let's throw you. Get out of here. Okay, yeah. Glitching is a little weird. I know that it has something to do with a princess quest. Because again, I've been spoiled. You know, lucky me. So plush babies. Of course they captain effing plush babies. I'm gonna do parts and service then I want to do manual. I don't know how long this video's gonna be. I just want to mess around for this first video and then in the next video we'll try and find more secrets. Alright, here we go. Ports and service Bonnie. I'm pretty sure they got rid of chica. Ports and service, which, I mean, to be fair, it is probably the least fun one out of all the... Hey Bonnie. Damn, you look good. Okay. He can't strum the guitar. Trying. Damn. Okay. Wait, can I pick this up? I can. Okay. Yeah, I'm not a too big a fan of them getting rid of all the fleshables. So will you. Okay, here we go. So, Bonnie's left eye. Do I just click it? I do. Okay, that's good. Another eye. Put it there. Open up the faceplate. Hit the thing. I've done this many times. Red. Yellow. Orange. I wonder, do they have the eye skip in this game? Eye skip? Or did I do it wrong? No, I did it wrong. Don't mind, I'm done. Alright, so let's actually see the death screen. Okay, Fox is not easily fooled. I'm guessing that's probably FNAF 2. Okay, interesting. I'm realizing now that I did that skip wrong, you press the button. You don't put in the eye. Okay, so let's go. Speed up. Bah! No, I missed it. Boom. Boom. Boom, boom. I'm tapping the eye. Eye. Boom. Button. Button. Thing. Go away, YouTube. Yellow. Yeah, so they kept the button skip in. Boom. Nice music, Bonnie. Real nice music. Great job. Bonnie is in tune and ready for his solo. Let's close him up. Let's close him up. Simply replace both eyes in the same order that you- Well done. That concludes your parts and services task. See you next time. See you next time. Alright, so it's really not any different from, um, black mode. I would say is probably the closest, uh, equivalent to this. Ooh, what's that? Some mixed nuts. I love nuts, bro. Oh, I could eat it. Probably should have ate it. Alright, so let's see what's going on here. So how do you get- how do you get the endings if there's no- if there's no tapes? It's a little- it's a little weird what they went for here. I will say. As much as I love having hope on an on-mobile, it's a little weird the way they did it. You know, you can't get any endings. You can, um, get any collectibles besides the prizes as far as I'm aware. Again, this is my first time hopping into it. So what the heck is glitching? Oh, it's still on the table. Yeah, it's a little weird. I'm not sure if I'm too big a fan of it, but I'm not complaining because Help wanted one of my favorite games in the entire FNAF lineup, you know? Main game, spinoff games. You name it, it's one of my top, like, two. Hey, ready? Okay. Oh, now a star attraction. Yeah, yeah, I know what to do. Hey. Boom. I'm going to go through the games kind of fast just because we've already seen them. Ooh, that looks good. Ooh. Interesting. Boom. Music box. Boom. Okay, so it's that one. First button. Nice. We're doing pretty good, boys. I wonder if I should speed on. It's this one. Boom. Oh no, Freddie, I'm so sorry. Yeah, let's get this one. So you don't really need to be slow and steady with the music box, which is fine. Oh, that's great. Okay, ready? What glitched out? All right, the thing you're sitting on, according to McFallen, it is a chair, but clearly it's not. What's this? Meat bites. Yes. Well, let's eat it. Okay, nice. All right, Foxy is the final one. I've heard this one's a little bit difficult, so I don't know how well I'm going to do because you have to look at Foxy, don't you? That's one of the requirements is that you have to keep looking at Foxy. Ooh. Ooh. You've got to admit it looks pretty good. His eye is a bit wonky, though. Yeah, let's get his mask. Put it on him. Dang, dude, you look so good. God dang. All right, so draw one. What am I looking for? Blue and green, I think. So this one. Boom. Boom. Nice. That's good, Foxy. Oh, his shoe is flushing. Two. What am I looking for? Oh, no, wait. Boom. Wait. And go. Go. Nice. Let's go. Okay, red, blue, green. Oh, wait, no. What is that? Blue, green, blue? I can't tell what's in his chest. It's just blue-blue, I think. So it's this one. Should be. Boom. Nope, I was wrong. It's hard to see that one, I will say. What am I holding? What's that? Can I pick that up? Let's see the jump skater. I wonder if you can... Jump skaters look pretty good. I always love going super fast in that many games to see him just teleport around the place. All right, cool. Let's do it again. Speed on. Speed on. What am I looking for? Green or red? Green or red? Where is it? Here we go. Bam. Bam. Good. Boom. Boom. Well done. Let's go! Oh, dude. Where am I looking for? Green, blue, blue. So that is this one. That is hard. Did they decrease the time? Because you definitely, definitely had a lot more time than that to look away. That's so weird. They totally made that more difficult. Start moving. Boom. Okay. Red, green, red. Where is that? Right here. Boom. Now we need his eyes. Hazel eyes. Should be this one. Yup. Boom! Let's go! Dang. Again, a little weird that they got rid of Chica. It's a little weird that they got rid of the entirety of FNAF 3. Hopefully they add more in the future, you know? Like, hopefully keep updating the game.  Okay, I thought it was like a cutscene or something. Jesus. Yeah, I don't really know how to get Princess Quest if I'm being honest.  I don't know. I do have some toys, right? I have some food, and I have a Chica plushie. Okay. So, what are we doing now? Vent repair? Vent repair. Let's go. I'm excited for this one. Hopefully. Uh, I think I know what to do with the vent repair. Boom. Welcome to vent repair. Yeah, I've put in a million times, Sandi. I love your voice, Sandi, but we gotta get going if you want to get in the secret. Button. Switch. Okay. Mangle looking fine, though. Right, up here. Boom. Boom. Did that work? It did. Do we need the valves? What's down there? I don't know. Looks like something was down there. Turn you. Turn you. Hit the button. Hit the button. Thank you. Turn this. Turn that. Okay. There we go. It's a little weird. Ooh, what's glitching? Ooh, okay. It was the pipe. Interesting. Uh, this is gonna be annoying. Hello, Mangle. Okay, orange, green. Something. Okay, red. Red. Blue. Green. Where are you? Where are you? I don't know. Just flipping. Let's go, baby. Let's go. Oh, I still hear them. Good job. See you next time. Yes, you will. Um, okay. Nice. That was that repair. Okay. We're actually doing pretty good. What do I get? Bazbor? Bazbor. Epic. All right. Baby is up next. This one might be a bit difficult just because of the timing on flat mode but it can be pretty difficult to, um, accurately predict when you should close the curtains. Curtains, I say curtains. I mean closet. Whatever. You know. Okay, so, this is interesting. Okay, it looks good. How do I close it? Oh, you just tap? Whoa, tap, tap, tap again. Totally dead here, boys. Boom. Oh, okay. The clock is in a odd place, I will say. God, animations look so good. Let's go. I don't know how long I wait. Open. Okay. We're doing good. We're doing good, boys. Clothes, it looks fantastic. Just a little. You know, maybe just a little close. Let's go, dude. Timing is on point. Should be 1am when I open them. Nope, it's not even one. Okay, tough crowd then. Man, this game looks so good so far. Now it's 1am. Okay, and close. I feel like the nights are lasting a bit longer.  And open. Okay, cool. We're doing good, we're doing good, we're doing good. I wonder if you can get Easter eggs in this game. Like coffee, and the endoskeleton, and the bitty pads, the minuinas. That's probably a video for a different day though, trying to find all of them. All right, get ready. Boom. Doing good, boys. 2 should be coming up very soon. Open. Come on, 2am, where are you, dude? I feel like this is lasting so much longer than it used to. Why? Where's 2am? Why is this lasting so long? Okay, thankfully, it's 2am. And close. Doing good, boys, doing real good. The lighting is so good, dude. Like when she turns away, the light goes off. Off of her, and then when she turns my SGI so good. Let's go, dude. I'm so... I heard your call. This is incredible. Oh, didn't mean to do that. And close about now.  Like, who does that? And it's such a good idea. Yes, there are levels missing, but the game looks good. And it's only like five bucks. That's one sixth of the price it used to be. And we're halfway there with 3am. Let's go. Oh, she teleported right there. That's good. I mean, she probably just went away. I guess you forgot about me. Hello. Go. Guys, we're doing good. I don't know how much of this minigame I'm going to keep in. Because it's very tedious, and it goes on for so much longer than it used to. I swear. Where are you? I swear it didn't last this long. And go. Doing good, boys. Doing good. I want to see a jumpscaper at the same time. I didn't think the minigame would last for this long. 4am. Come on. You better before when I open up the closet again. Go. Yes. Okay. Good. Good. Just two more hours. I don't know how long the hours are. So. Uh oh. Hello. So there's that. I also want to open up the curtains early. God, why do I keep calling them curtains? The door's early just to see her like standing in front of the closet like she does.  But at the same time, I don't want to risk it. Come on. 5am. Where you at? No. Don't turn. Nope. Yeah, man. I really wish I did. 5am. Thank God. Okay. Just one more hour. Don't turn. That one's always tricky because she's so close. Okay. Come on. 6am, man. Oh. No. No. Don't mess up now. Jesus. I'm going to go now. Might have been early. Okay. Why are you there again? Oh, come on. 6am.  This is actually kind of stressful. Okay. No, no, no, no. 6. Oh my God. Come on. Where is 6, dude? This is actually annoying. Actually, I can't turn. Don't kill. That's so weird that it keeps going. Huh. Interesting. Okay. So my prize is the phone. Great. He was just in that minigame. Good to see you again, buddy. Nothing just yet. This is so weird. Okay. So all that's left is plush babies, which I don't really want to do. Did you stop that? Actually, are any of the dark modes available? Ooh. Okay. So it looks like the wizards are in the game. That's interesting. So dark mode is available. What mode? Dark mode? Whatever you want to call it. I'm going to do some. Say what goes. So this one is all of the vents are open, which shouldn't be a problem. And I'm pretty sure there's also two mangals. Oh, I thought I hit that lever, which I did not. Oh, there's someone over here. Oh, someone over here. Oh, someone over here.  I got that already. Button, button, button, button. Okay. Maybe that's been tricky. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. So that's hard. That is a hard mode. I wonder if you can increase the sensitivity. I should be able to do it though. Oh, wait. I should have gotten the cupcake jumpscare. All right. Whatever. Let's go again. I'm going to get this one first. Okay. So it's green. Blue. Red, red, green, blue. Okay. Where's my light? There you go. You don't get the light until you turn on the light. Oh, damn, dude. Oh, okay. This is... This is tricky. Can you not get the cupcake jumpscare?  I was tapping on them, I swear. Okay. This is... Actually kind of hard. Button, switch. Switch. Thingy. You. You. You. You. And you. Where do you? Where do you? What is this? Green, blue? Come on, stop, stop, stop.  That's hard. That is the most intense, like, one minute. Oh, no, you will not see me next time. Hand you next time. No, you will not. Don't even... Don't even joke about that. You will not see me next time. Okay. And... Ports and service. Shouldn't be that bad at all. Are you having fun yet? None at all. That's great to hear. I never, never once said I was having fun. Bonnie, let's go. We should be able to blaze past these guys.  I tapped it. I... There's no cupcake jumpscare. Dude, this game is unplayable. What is going on? Alright, let's do it again.  Great job. Well done. Deposit the right eye in the clip. Good job. To open Bonnie's faceplate. I'm done. Something is not right. One of those notes is out of tune. You may push the button and press the blinking button again to verify your work. Verified. Get the eye ready. Something's glitching, I can hear it. Tune and ready for his solo. Let's close him up. Simply well done. Let's go. That's Bonnie done. Freddy, Foxy. See you next time. I really don't want to do FNAF 1 and 2, but I got to do FNAF 1 and 2. Ooh, a slice of cake. That's great. Hopefully my face doesn't get shoved into it.  Alright, Freddy's up next. Oh boy. Freddy's got a pretty good job. God dang man.  That's interesting. The watch. The music box. Place on the music table. Reset the safety latch. So weird. Removing the shoe. Placing it in the lost and found bin. Returning the music box to Freddy's chest cavity. Getting a new music box. Putting that in. Parking the notes. Ooh, so you can like, skip right past that. I didn't even mean to do that. I was just tapping and tapping. Okay. Foxy's up next. Please don't be that bad, Foxy. He's going to be bad, isn't he? God dang it. Let's have a look. I want to see what he's going to look like. I know what he looks like, but I want to see what it's like on mobile. Oh. That's so weird. That's so cool, dude. Alright, so I'm looking for a blue and a green right there. You put it there. Looking for a blue and red blue. A blue. Blue red blue. Okay, it's right here. Boom. No, dude, he moved the second I tapped. You're kidding me. So I'm just going to go green, blue, blue. It's both fuses to continue. Where is it? Where do you? Stop moving. Boom, boom. Looking for a blue. Green, blue. That's it right here. Boom. This. Boom. Something's glitching. Okay, here's the thing again. Cool. So, I think that's going to do it for me for right now. In next episode, I'll do an F1 and 2. Have I done all the hard moments? I believe I have. I think that was a Chica Lemon boar. Yeah, I want to save.  I want to save FNAF. Two? Digitally recreating performances and personalities from the past. I really don't want to do it in this video, but I want to give it a try. Yeah, I want to save FNAF 1 and 2 for next episode because they're hard. Oh, you're kidding. And you can't look around without using the flashlight. Where do you? God, this one's going to be difficult. Everything glitches out. That's so weird. Yeah, you can't move around without flashing the flashlight. That's so weird. Okay, I got a...  And like, focusing on them? It's so difficult. Like, actually keeping the light on them. Where are you?  Hello, I see you, I see you. Okay. Like, you use so much power, this one's going to be tough. I might save this one for next time. Which means nothing to me because I'm probably going to record it right after this one. Oh my god. Yeah, like, you can't... Oh, I see you, I see you. Up, up, up, up, up, up, up. Okay. Dude, this one. Did I see you? Manoeuvring around is terrible. Like, actually, it's so bad. Longer. Oh, no. Like, you have to get so lucky with their placements. Because if you're low on battery and you have to search like the entire thing, that's horrible. Okay, so all three of them are active. Which is so... Okay.  You know? Oh my god. And like, they just... I'm not, I'm not doing this one in this episode. That's the next episode. God, that minigame is going to be so annoying. Okay, so overall, it's an interesting point. Some... God, I didn't want to do it again. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Give me that here, give me that here. Overall, it's an interesting point. They made some odd decisions, I feel like. But at the same time, I love it.  Even if some of the controls are pretty poor, I hope they continue to add more levels because it would just be fantastic, you know? I don't know what that glitching is. I know it has something to do with Princess Quest. I know a lot of people are going to be upset that I didn't get to this video. But it's coming soon.  And honestly, I want to figure it out for myself. But I've also kind of been spoiled about what it looks like in Princess Quest. What you do, I know, again, I know Glitchstrap's back. I know he has a secret message. And I know just 100% even before I've edited this, made a thumbnail, whatever, that people are going to spoil it for me in the comments, which just sucks. But that's how it goes. So, yeah, I can't wait to be spoiled. So whatever, man.  So, yeah, I... I don't know what I'm trying to say here. But, yeah, that's it for me. I'll be back soon with episode two, where we do Plush Babies. God, we're gonna have to do it in hard mode, too. Oh, FNAF 1 and FNAF 2. And then hopefully, either that episode or the next one will do Princess Quest. Again, I don't really know how to get it if you guys could leave me hints on how to get it. Don't tell me outright how to get it because that's just not fun. So, yeah, that's it. Thanks for watching. And I'll see you all on the pub side.


So, so far for the harmonic oscillator, here's what we've managed to do. We started with our assumption for what the potential energy is for our harmonic oscillator, quadratic function, 1 half kx squared. Quantum mechanics allowed us to solve for the wave functions of particles that obey the Schrodinger equation with that potential energy and also the energies of the functions that have those wave functions. And then as we've done before for both the particle in a box and for the rigid rotor, now that we know those energies, we can use those to obtain the partition function and also the probability of occupying any particular energy level. And once we have the partition function, then we'll be able to do a lot of things like calculating energies and entropies and heat capacities and pressures and so on. So, start with quantum mechanics, then do some statistical mechanics, which is our link to get to thermodynamics. So if we want to be able to talk about energies and pressures of vibrating diatomic gaseous molecules, the partition function needs to be our next step. So, with these energies, how do we find the partition function for a vibrating diatomic molecule, the partition function for a harmonic oscillator? As always, that's the sum of the Boltzmann factors. Sum of the eta minus energy over kT's for all the different energies that the system can have. But we know exactly what the energies are for a harmonic oscillator. Each of those energies, e sub n, that number n, that vibrational quantum number can range anywhere from zero all the way up to infinity. So we just need to complete that sum. If I substitute this expression for e sub n, I'll get e to the minus this energy, n plus a half h nu, all divided by kT. So, that can simplify a little bit and eventually turn into something useful. So, first of all, n plus a half, I've got a sum inside the exponent of this exponential, so I'm going to break that up into two different exponentials. So, inside the sum, I've got e to the minus n h nu over kT, and e to the minus one-half h nu over kT. So, I've just broken up this exponential into the product of two different exponentials, and the reason I've done that is because one of these two, the second one that I've written down, e to the minus one-half h nu over kT, that doesn't have any n's in it. The summation variable n doesn't appear anywhere in this term, so this term doesn't depend on the value of n, and I can pull it outside of the sum. So, I've got e to the minus, and let me go ahead and write that as h nu over 2 kT, bringing the factor of one-half as a factor of two in the denominator. All this is still multiplying the sum of e to the minus n h nu over kT. I'll go ahead and write that the same way for now. And I can't pull that out of the sum, obviously, because it has this n in it. So, let's think about what this sum means, so that the first term is still e to the minus h nu over 2 kT. What it's multiplying is the sum of these Boltzmann factors. Boltzmann factor with n equals zero, Boltzmann factor with n equals one, Boltzmann factor with n equals two, and so on. So, when n equals zero, I've got e to the zero. That one's easy enough. I'm adding the term when n equals one, e to the negative one h nu over kT. And I need the term with n equals two, so that's e to the minus twice h nu over kT. And so on, the next one would be e to the minus three h nu over kT, e to the minus four h nu over kT, and so on. So that's just what our infinite sum means is this sum of terms. But notice now, e to the minus two h nu over kT, that's the same thing as e to the minus h nu over kT twice. e to the minus h nu over kT squared. e to the minus two x is like e to the minus x times e to the minus x. In fact, every one of these terms is going to be this basic Boltzmann factor, e to the minus h nu over kT raised to some power. I've got one, e to the minus h nu over kT, e to the minus h nu over kT squared, e to the minus h nu over kT cubed, to the fourth power, and so on. So if I say this is, if I rewrite this more simply, if I let x be e to the minus h nu over kT, this looks like, term in parentheses looks like one, and an x, and an x squared, and an x cubed, and so on. Or I'll just let x be short for this Boltzmann factor e to the minus h nu over kT. Next step is to recognize that that sum, one plus x plus x squared plus x cubed, and so on. That's a Taylor series for, the quantity in parentheses is a Taylor series for one over one minus x, or a Maclaurin series if we want to be technical. So if we do that in reverse, if you take the function one over one minus x and obtain the Taylor series for it, the Taylor series you'll end up with is this Taylor series, one plus x plus x squared, and x cubed, and so on. So that's this term in parentheses. So if I rewrite everything now using that Taylor series, collapsing this infinite sum of an infinite number of terms down to this simple more compact term and remembering that x is equal to this Boltzmann factor, e to the minus h nu over kT. My partition function has now become this first factor, e to the minus h nu over 2kT times one over. So in the denominator, I'll put one minus x or one minus this Boltzmann factor, one minus e to the minus h nu over kT. So I'll go ahead and put that in a box. Cuz that's our final result for the partition function. This is the partition function, the sum of all the Boltzmann factors for harmonic oscillator which has these energy levels. And notice importantly what we've done is this is no longer an infinite sum. I don't have to sum up an infinite number of terms. If I know the values of these various constants, I just put them in a couple of exponentials, combine them together, and I can calculate the partition function directly. So notice also, I didn't make any approximations in obtaining this partition function. If you think back to what we did to calculate the partition functions for the particle in a box or the rigid rotor, they involved partition functions. They involved taking the classical limit. They involved converting sums to integrals and things like that. So we didn't end up having to take any shortcuts like that in this particular case, it's just happens to be the case that the infinite sum, the full infinite sum that we're interested in, happens to be the Taylor series for a more compact form. And so that allows us to write it in this form. So we didn't have to make any approximations for this partition function. The next thing we can discuss about the partition function is what it means. We can plug some values in and obtain numbers and we'll do that. But really what we're after is the question, is this partition function large or is it small? And thinking back to what the partition means physically, that's telling us if partition function is large, that means many, many of the states on this energy ladder are occupied. Quite a few of the excited states for the harmonic oscillator are occupied. But if q is small, that means very few of the states are occupied, maybe just the ground state is occupied. And the reason that would be true is if the gap between the, let's see, let's draw a real quick energy ladder, 1 1⁄2 H new, 3 1⁄2 H new, 5 1⁄2 H new, if the difference in energies between these states is large or small compared to kT, that'll tell us whether we're occupying just the bottom few states or lots and lots of excited states. And again, that energy difference compared to kT is going to be what determines the size of this partition function. So that's our next task is to figure out which of those two cases is true.
