Whether we are trying to master how to become a great chef, designer, writer, musician, presenter, blogger, auditor, etc., our end goal is to become successful. We want to become the best in our future so that we can be successful. The question however is, to what extent are you willing to go to make that happen? How do you plan to achieve goals? Here's an open secret. To succeed at anything, we have to develop ourselves first, otherwise, we'll never be able to achieve anything long-lasting, should we venture into anything in the first place. According to Morihei Ushiba, a Japanese martial artist, life is growth. If we stop growing technically and spiritually, we're as good as dead. Also, John C. Maxwell said, growth is the great separator between those who succeed and those who do not. When I see a person beginning to separate themselves from the pack, it's almost always due to personal growth. Success very much depends on your personal growth. To keep developing yourself, however, you need to be willing to learn. Reading books is an excellent way to achieve that. In today's video, I'll share with you 10 best personal development books to skyrocket your success. If you're new here, consider subscribing so that you won't miss other exciting videos like this. 1. The Promise of a Pencil Have an Extraordinary Person Can Create Extraordinary Change by Adam Brown This book follows the real-life experience of the auto Adam Brown, who met a boy while traveling to India. When Brown asked him what he would like most in the world, if he could have anything, he was shocked by the answer the leader boy gave. A pencil, he said. The answer is what built over 200 schools for underprivileged children all over the world, starting with just $25 and a desire for change. Brown uses this promise of a pencil to follow his destiny, documenting the lessons that can lead to a meaningful and successful life. 2. The Law of Success in 16 Lessons by Napoleon Hill After 26 years of research, including interviews with more than 500 self-made millionaires, Mr. Hill compiled a list of tips that he termed the laws of success. Hill also studied the accomplishments of some masterminds such as Andrew Kennege, Thomas Edison, John D. Rockefeller, and the likes to test the laws. The Law of Success in 16 Lessons will teach you some of the principles of success you've never heard of or discarded in the past. 3. The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Perl We've all heard and learned about thinking positively on different occasions. However, practicing isn't as easy as it sounds, especially when faced with difficult situations. Perl outlines practical techniques to help you leverage the power of positive thinking. 4. The Obstacle is the Way, The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph by Rianne Holiday Do you know that all successful individuals use a formula for success that makes it easier for them to turn obstacles into opportunities? You see, most times when faced with difficult situations that look almost impossible to overcome, it means you are closer to your goal than you realize. It's not time to give up. Even this is the first step to overcoming any obstacle. Successful people know this, which is why they never give up when faced with trials. Instead, they use it to work their way up. 5. Maximum Achievements, Strategies and Skills that Will Unlock Your Hidden Paths to Succeed by Brian Tracing Sometimes, we think we need to push ourselves to build new habits so that we can become successful. However, we may already possess some of the qualities for success but we need to apply the right strategies and skills to bring them out. Whether you are on your way to success already or not, Tracey outlines some of the principles of success that can help you. He also teaches how to create success that encompasses every area of life, health, personal and professional happiness, relationship and wealth so that you can build the life you want and get the satisfaction that comes from knowing that you are in control of your destiny. 6. The Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz People who achieve their goals in life aren't unique in any way than those who don't. What separates them however is their ability to think big. According to Schwartz, intelligent or excellent work ethics aren't necessarily responsible for making people succeed. Instead, their choice is to believe in something bigger and better is responsible for it. First, start by defining your goals and then focus so hard on it without allowing the small thinking in the world to distract you. It will only be a matter of time before you start achieving your goals. 7. Doing Things Done by David Arlen Think of personal organization and business growth then you should consider reading this book. In this book, Arlen outlines some of the best ways of approaching professional and personal facts. 8. Show Your Work 10 ways to share your creativity and get discovered by Austin Cleon To be discovered by people, you need to change your mindset from being discoverable to becoming findable. According to Cleon, it's not about networking but what you do with your network. If you have the best network in the world and you don't put them to good use of what benefit will that be? Cleon believes it's not about self-promotion but self-discovery. When you understand this concept, then you'll be found. 9. Find the Giant Within How to take immediate control of your mental, emotional, physical and financial destiny by Anthony Robbins. According to Anthony Robbins, everyone has a sleeping giant of greatness in them. However, until you are ready to discover your full potential, you might never succeed. The book delves into goal-setting, achieving success in relationships, talking to yourself and discovering your true potential to help you take control of your mental, emotional, physical and financial destiny. 10. How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie In this book, you'll learn 3 fundamental techniques in handling people, 6 ways to make people like you, 12 ways to win people to your way of thinking and 9 ways to change people without arousing resentments. I think the advice of this book can help you ascend the ladder of success as it has for others over the last 60 years. There you go, have a great read. Thank you very much for watching our videos.

Hence, today we are going to study condition of reciprocity in two port parameter representation. Learning outcome at the end of this session students will be able to describe condition of reciprocity in two port parameter representation. So, in today's lecture we are going to study what is the condition of reciprocity in two port parameter like z parameter, y parameter, h parameter or a b c d parameter. So, from this today we are going to see what is the condition of reciprocity for z parameters. But before starting with the derivation or condition of reciprocity you have to pause this video here and you should recall the equations which are to be related to z parameter and which are dependent and independent variables used while writing the equations for z parameters. We will start the condition of reciprocity in two port parameter representation for z parameters. While studying this we have to write down the equations related to z parameters. But before that we will see what is the condition of reciprocity. Basically a network is said to be reciprocal if the ratio of excitation variable and response variable of a two port network is same even if we interchange the excitation as well as response of a two port network ok. So, first we will draw the diagram related to that excitation variable as well as response variable and this is two port network. Here it is the excitation voltage V1 current I1 and we have to short circuit the output this is current I2 and this is minus I2 because the direction is opposite. So, conditions in this case are V1 should be considered as a Vs current I1 is I1 current V2 is equal to 0 and current I2 is equal to minus I2 ok. So, first we will write the equation of z parameters and the equations are V1 is equal to z11 I1 plus z12 I2 and second equation is V2 is equal to z21 I1 plus z22 I2 is it. Now, we will put the values of these four variables in these two equations ok. So, now V1 is Vs. So, Vs is equal to z11 I1 minus z12 I2 because value of I2 is minus I2 because of this opposite direction and value of V2 is 0 because output port is short circuited. So, value of V2 is 0. So, 0 is equal to z21 I1 minus z22 I2 ok. So, from this second equation we will get the value of I1 as I1 is equal to z22 I2 upon z21 ok. So, we will call it this as a equation 1, this as a equation 2, this as a equation 3 and this as a equation 4 ok. Now, we will put the value of I1 in equation number 3 Vs is equal to z11 z22 into I2 divided by z21 minus z12 I2 is it. Now, Vs is equal to z11 z22 I2 minus z12 z21 into I2 and when this term goes to the left side that should be multiplied. So, it is z21 is it. So, z21 Vs is equal to I2 into z11 z22 minus z12 z21 is it. So, from this we can find out the value of current I2 as z21 Vs upon z11 z22 minus z12 and z21 is it. So, this is the value of current I2 and for the circuit to be reciprocal the condition is I1 by V1 at V2 is equal to 0 should be equal to I2 by V2 at V1 is equal to 0 ok. So, we have to check for this condition. So, presently we get the value of I2. So, ratio I2 by Vs is z21 by this is mod z mod z means determinant of that z z matrix ok. So, determinant of that z matrix is z11 z22 minus z12 z21 is it. So, similarly we will go for the second condition and for that we have to draw the diagram. So, again this is 2 port network. Now, we have to short the port 1 this is current I1 this is minus I1 and here we have to give the excitation plus minus voltage V2 current I2 and now here conditions are voltage V1 is 0 because port 1 is short circuited current I1 is equal to minus I1 because of the direction change current I2 is equal to I2 and V2 we will consider it as a Vs that is source voltage is it. Now, we derive for this. So, equation for z parameters again we have to write V1 is equal to z11 I1 plus z12 I2 V2 is equal to z21 I1 plus z22 I2 these are the equations related to the z parameter equation 1 equation 2. Now, we will put the conditions in this case in these 2 equations. So, 0 is equal to minus z11 I1 plus z12 I2 equation 3 and Vs is equal to minus z21 I1 plus z22 I2 we will make this as a equation number 4. So, from equation number 3 we will get the value of I2 as z11 I1 upon z12 is it. Now, we have to put the value of I2 in equation number 4 is it. So, we will get the ratio. So, Vs is equal to minus z21 I1 plus z22 instead of I2 we have to write z11 I1 upon z12 is it. So, next step Vs is equal to if we simplify this, this will be minus z12 z21 I1 plus z22 z11 I1 and this term will go to left hand side. So, it is to be multiplied with Vs is it. So, after this next step we will directly write the value of current I1 as I1 is equal to z12 Vs upon z11 z22 minus z12 z21 is it. So, I1 by Vs is equal to z12 by mod z is it. So, this is a ratio of V1 sorry I1 by Vs. So, for the condition of reciprocity we have to go for this I1 by V1 at V2 equal to 0 should be equal to I2 by V2 at V1 is equal to 0. So, if we compare this with the resultants we are getting that I1 by Vs should be is equal to I2 by Vs. So, this is the condition of reciprocity. So, from this z12 by mod z is equal to z21 by mod z. So, this mod z get cancelled and we get the condition of reciprocity as z12 is equal to z21 ok. So, this is the condition of reciprocity. So, like this we can find out the condition of reciprocity for y parameter g parameter h parameter or a Vs parameter. While preparing this video lecture I have used circuit theory analysis and synthesis by A Chakravarti. Thank you.


Hackensack University Medical Center is a place where people really want to go to train. We have tremendous faculty, we have a brand new medical school, we have residencies that are really at the top, we have tremendously diverse patient population, so it's a great place to learn and people recognize that and our residencies are very competitive. People want to come here. The Department of OB-GYN here at Hackensack University Medical Center is one of the largest OB-GYN departments in New Jersey. We do a significant number of deliveries over close to six thousand, which represents a major portion of the state deliveries. Being a brand new residency program, we're not stuck in our ways, so we really take the feedback of our residents and try to incorporate that into our educational curriculum. We try to be innovative in our curriculum design, giving the residents different experiences and exposures both in the clinical setting as well as in the simulation setting, and we really value their feedback in designing this new program. It was very obvious to me that the attending support each other, the residents that are rotating support each other, the nurses were there and also were very supportive and very engaging with the residents, and also as a medical student they're very involved in patient care and learning opportunities, so the fact that it kind of felt very community-based to me was very important. We have a diverse group of physicians, sub-specialists, bore certified. We have a diverse group of private attendings that serve the community for years. We have a diverse group of nurses that really have acclimated to the passion of women's health, and of course we have a diverse population. It's very interesting because we get to see all the things that are important, not only for women's health but for their communities. The education and priorities and goals of our program are really to produce competent caring physicians who are well-versed in all aspects of the care of women, not only surgical care or obstetrical care but also in primary care, and we try to give our residents experiences in all of these areas so that when they graduate they can be competent physicians. Another thing that our program has to offer is that we have a built-in mentorship program that we call clinical coaches. This allows the clinical coaches to meet with our residents on a regular basis so that each of our residents can develop an individualized learning action plan to make sure that they are always meeting their educational goals. The level of support here at Hackensack is tremendous. They really do take the fact this is a teaching institution seriously and they emphasize the teaching aspect. I had the autonomy to make patient decisions and to discuss with my patients what we as a team being the provider and the patient think is best. At the same time there's always someone nearby that has answers and experience. I can kind of also walk you through it. Any resident that comes to our program and graduates is going to graduate with an experience that is equal to none, which is very rare to see nowadays. Our residency program is so structured that the resident gets exposed to the multitude of cases and knowledge base that is necessary for an OBGYN to graduate with and we have that here at Hackensack University Medical Center.


Welcome to Hard Questions, where we gather pastors together to take on your tough questions and answer them right from the Bible. I'm Tom Hollis, the moderator, and today our panelists include Dr. William Marglaise, Bethany Baptist Church in Pittsburgh, Pastor Joel Guinean, middle school pastor at Cornerstone Ministries, Murraysville, Pete Giacalone, Lead Pastor, South Hills Assembly Guide Church, Bethel Park, PA, Anthony Gilbert, pastor of another level ministries in the North Hills area. Thank you for being with us today on Hard Questions. We're going to talk about wars, stones, and condemnation. Sounds painful, but let's go to the first question here. It's a hotline question. The Bible says by your words, you'll be justified, and by your words, you'll be condemned. But also in another place in the Bible, it says there is no condemnation in them who are in crimes. I remember reading somewhere else in the word that when you eat, you eat in faith.  You're bringing condemnation on yourself, you're condemned. I wanted you to be able to distinguish the difference between these. Now we know when you're not saved, condemnation is applied to the person who's not saved. But when you are saved, the Bible says there is no condemnation to them who are in crimes. So that word condemnation, is it the same word used when it says by your words, you're justified, and by your words, you're condemned? And if you're condemning yourself by not speaking in faith, whatever, the Bible says wherever, it's not a faith to sin. If you're not speaking in faith for things you say, does that mean you're under condemnation? And because of that, you won't get into the kingdom. I'll listen to your answer on the TV. Thank you. Well, the show's over. Thank you for joining us. That's a long, long question and a lot going on there. Let's start with Pastor Jay. I've got to get ready for this one here. Give myself into fight mode here. You know, I think the justice of the question is really where is the Bible meaning by it says that a lot of different places where you're condemned. I think the one that he's mentioned in Romans eight is different from the other ones. He's dealing with the whole thing about eating in faith and all of that. He's not speaking of condemnation spiritually. He's talking about a mental, your own personal guilt. You're not talking about yourself. Patient. Exactly. Not at all. Not at all.  You're bringing it on yourself, not that you're even in it. And so we have to allow our conscience also to be our lead in our guide in certain areas as well. When we're talking about dealing with how we speak, Jesus was talking about it during that time with the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. And so he was talking about how with your words, you're going to be justified. With your words, you're going to be condemned. And he's talking about from basically what's within the heart, that word there, your words being justified and condemned is either an evil rama or a spiritual rama. So he's talking about how it comes from the spirit of the man or the woman. So basically it's not just every single word you speak.  It's talking about where it's coming from, from the heart. And then you look at Romans eight, Romans eight, I think people miss is that there's no condemnation, but they don't read the rest of the scripture for those that walk according to the spirit and not the flesh. So that lets me know I can be a believer. And if I'm walking in the flesh, condemnation is going to be going to hit my life. Not because of any other, but you're walking in the flesh. You have, you don't have the victory in the arena of the flesh. So to sum everything up that I'm saying here, he's talking about basically the difference of condemnation comes on you or doesn't come on you based upon the spirit you're walking in, whether in the flesh or the spirit. You're defining this word condemnation not as a salvation issue. It's an issue of what's coming upon you as how you, how your mind is before God. When it comes to the speaking, Jesus was speaking about whether you're in the faith or not. Romans eight is different and then also eating is different. So there's three different things that all deal with what you're walking in accordingly. So there's a lot to unpack there. Well, I think, you know, really, first off, for those who are struggling with their salvation, those who are wondering, am I saved or not? I know early in my walk with Christ, I battled with that for probably about a year and a half.  Am I saved?  We see in Revelation that there's two judgments, right?  And those who he says, depart from me, I never knew you. Those who are cast into the lake of fire. Then there's a second judgment, that's the Bema seat. I mean, this is a great illustration for this, is this was like the platform that you had to put Olympians on when they won their medals. This is where you would give them the rewards for how they had performed. And so there's that second judgment. And so I think remember that there's two different judgments, a second one for the believers, where you receive your inheritance. All right, Pastor Pete. Well, again, I think, like Jay said, if I just want to touch one part of that, as far as by your words you shall be justified by your word, shall be condemned.  You see what I'm trying to say? So that means when I come to justify myself in my own self-righteousness, it's not going to stand. And then like she was talking about foods offered to idols. There's just so many different things and you can't interrelate them. Each one of them has to be taken separately. When he says, and I'll ask you this, Pete, he says, if you are not speaking in faith with what you say, does that mean you're under condemnation and you won't get into the kingdom? Again, this is not a salvation issue here. No, it's not. Definitely not. Right, right. Pastor Glaze. Well, yeah, and I think that deals with stewardship. That I have to be a good steward over my tongue. And I have to realize that even though the blood of Christ cleanses me from all unrighteousness and there's no condemnation from that perspective, that I still am accountable for my words and that I can bring condemnation. As Jay said, I can bring condemnation on myself, the guilt. So I might be a Christian, but if I'm not exercising good stewardship over my tongue, then I'm gonna have to deal with that. Let me ask you about the issue with condemnation because there's some Christians that really struggle with condemnation. Yes. And Joel, you even mentioned what's conviction? Conviction's the right thing. Condemnation's something we don't wanna embrace. What do we do with those two things? That's great. The way I think of conviction is, I have a bunch of little kids. So we play bumper bowling. When we go bowling now, there are things, we gotta put the bumpers up. Conviction is God knocking you back into the lane. It's knocking you back down so that, to keep you on target. Condemnation is not even showing up at the bowling alley. You're not even in the league, so. Oh, that's a good point. So let me ask you about that, Jay. What do you see as a con, like a condemning thing in a Christian's life? How can they sort out? What's condemnation? What's conviction for them? What is really from God? And what is the devil just trying to beat them up? I gotta give the Holy Spirit some props right now because this is something that he just dropped in me. And I'm thinking about, when you mentioned what you were sharing, I think about when you go to a house and you see them, when it's condemned, what does it mean? You can't live it anymore. It needs to be destroyed. That's condemnation. But if you are evicted, it means the house is good, but there's something wrong in the house. So basically, when you're looking at condemnation versus conviction, conviction is, all right, the house is still good, but there's something going on in the house that needs to be changed. But condemnation means everything in the house is gonna be destroyed. God doesn't condemn us unless we're in sin. Then obviously conviction is meant to repair the home, but conviction is where God says, hey, there's something going on in the house. We need to get this right so then the house can be preserved. That's pretty good stuff, Jay. I don't take notes. I don't take notes. I don't take notes right there with that right now. It just came to me. I'm gonna preach on that sometime. Anything else, Pete? Condemnation, there's no let up. Conviction, there's a wooing. There's a bringing to correction. Redemptive. Redemptive, right. Everything in conviction is redemptive, but everything with condemnation, no chance. Complete condemning. That's nice. Well, and I think it's been pointed out that, condemnation is from Satan, and conviction is from the Holy Spirit. And the outcomes are completely different.   You know what?  You can never, you're never gonna amount to anything. And conviction says, you've done something wrong. Repent and receive forgiveness and continue to walk. That it's hopefulness in it. Well, great discussion. Well, we're coming back in just 60 seconds. And when we ask, where do you go when you immediately die? We'll be right back. Well, welcome back to Hard Questions. We've got a couple of questions in this segment. Let's go to the next one. Yes, the question I have in 2 Corinthians 10, chapter 10 and verse three. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. What is it saying? All right, good question. Really good one, Pastor Pete. Well, then again, if we finish the verse, it says, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. So I'm not fighting Dr. Glaze. I'm not fighting another human being, but I'm fighting powers and principalities of powers. Our warfare are not carnal, but mighty of God of pulling down the strongholds. So we wrestle against strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. And they were told to bring every thought and the captivity to the obedience of Christ. We can run with this also, the armor of God. So if, because sometimes believers get so caught up in wrestling in the flesh, that they really lose sight of who is my true enemy. My true enemy is not another human being. My true enemy is the enemy of my soul and I'm fighting powers and principalities of powers. That's the reason why we're told to put on the full armor of God, the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, loin's good or with truth, feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, shield of faith that would stand every failure to dart at the enemy and the sword of the spirit. So again, but as long as we're caught up in flesh and blood, we're never gonna get to the root. We gotta get to the root. And the root is this is a spiritual problem and not a flat. We do wrestle in the flesh. There's things that Paul says, I crucify the flesh daily. So there's come time, I got a- We're wrestling with our own flesh. With our own flesh. But I'm not wrestling with your flesh, right? Pastor Glaze. Yeah, well, when you look at the weapons of our warfare, they are not fleshly. And he goes on to talk about that. Pete just quoted it, that if I want to logically argue somebody out of a position, that's fleshly. I'm trying to use the logic of the flesh. And that's, I mean, I might win that particular argument, but I'm trying to, I'm not winning the war. I'm not winning the battle. The battle comes with the weapons of our warfare, prayer, fasting, reading the word of God, using the name and authority of Christ. So those are the weapons that we use to fight this spiritual battle. If I'm just using flesh on flesh, then that's a losing battle right there, as far as my spiritual life is concerned. Even if you win the battle, you lose the war in that one. But it says we're destroying speculations or I think there's other words, arguments, tearing down arguments. Isn't that interesting? A lot of times think it's just tearing down some sort of spirit, but it's a speculation that we're fighting. Well, as a matter of fact, Paul goes on. A lot of people don't really take this thing exegetically the way they should. And we just take just versus three through five and we preach that. Paul's actually given a response because he was writing letters to them to bring correction. And so the people were saying, man, his bodily presence is weak. Look at a little Paul and he's like, listen. He's like, I can ground you from a pay phone.  He goes, even though we walk into flesh and you're looking at my outward stuff, we don't war according to that. So he was going at it from that standpoint as well, dealing like, don't look at the outward things and thinking that's the battle. My spirit man is where my power comes from. And so that's where you get the speculations, the mindsets, all the same. It's not thinking according to the natural. And it's talking about the realm. And most people, what they do, they are living in a fleshly realm and using fleshly weapons, not understanding a lot of the stuff that's being impacted by the fleshly realm is spiritual. And so I always say it like this. It's kind of like having a, what do they call them where they have like a puppet master? Where they have those. And so if you don't, you can kill the puppet all day long, but as long as the master is still moving, that puppet's going to continue to live. So you can be fighting the wrong, how would you say in the wrong realm, but with the right weapons. So if you're not in the right weapons and the right realm, you're not going to have the victory in your life the way that you should. I just got this feeling about Paul going through a pay phone somewhere and like calling him up. It's like, take him down. Take him down. What's the pay phone again? Yeah, right. Well, see they didn't have cell phones and ancient Jerusalem, they had pay phones. That's what a shackle in there. And I think it's remembering who our enemy really is.  So even when I'm talking to somebody who firmly stands in opposition against Christ, they are still not my enemy. You know, a pastor I know used to always say that that person's not my enemy. They are a prisoner in the enemy's camp. And when you take that mindset of, of this isn't somebody to be defeated. This is somebody to be won and sought after and rescued. Your approach changes, your position changes and your, the amount of love that you display even when in disagreement changes because we changed our spiritual weapons of warfare for a spiritual battle. That's good. That's really good. Good stuff, good stuff. And no, they didn't have pay phones in ancient Jerusalem. So. And or, or shackles for them. All right. Let's go on to the next hotline question. I have two questions for the pastors. One is after death, do we go straight to be with the Lord? Absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Then there's another scripture that says the dead know nothing. And this is kind of confusing to me. Thank you and bless you pastors and CTV family. Oh, this is a really good question. I'm going to start us off with Pastor Glace. Well, you know, there's a lot of theology today, you know, from different religions that say when you die, that you go to a holding place.  You know, so, I mean, there's just a lot of confusing theology out there. But, you know, we need to take our answers right from the Bible. And the apostle Paul is very clear. He says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.  It says, prostan feton. And what that means is you wake up face to face with God, you know? And what a powerful thought that, you know, when I close my eyes in death, that the next face I see is going to be God, you know? And so that's, you know, from that perspective. And then, you know, the verse that she's talking about in Ecclesiastes where it says that the dead know nothing. Solomon is talking about that while you're here on this earth, you can still experience the things of this earth. You can grow in your knowledge of the things on this earth. But when you die, he says that the dead know nothing. He was speaking in reference to this life in this earth that you can't come back and, you know, know anything because you're dead. You know, you have left this life. So when he says that the dead know nothing, he's not saying that they're in eternity and they don't know anything. He's saying in relationship to this earth, they can't know anything else once you die. Good point, good point, Pastor Pete. Well, again, going back to what Dr. Glaze just said, I think if we can just get that in all of our spirits that without a doubt to know, as Paul said, to know, to be absent from this body. Again, the very moment we take that very last breath, we are in the presence of Almighty God. To reign with Him throughout all of eternity. Well, there are scriptures that seem to say, like, well, the dead in Christ shall rise first and things like that where it seems like, it seems like, you know, what are they doing while they're waiting, Joel. Well, and that kind of lends into where I stand, where you look at Jesus and the thief on the cross. He says today you'll be with me in paradise. You know, the belief that being what the Jews knew as the bosom of Abraham. And so, which was, you know, a paradisical place, but not the final heaven that we'll see, which I believe is the restoration back to original creation. So, you see that, you see a little bit of difference in the display of where the Bible talks about Hades and then hell, the final judgment, the final lake of fire that all of those who oppose God will be thrown into. So, I see those as two different levels of. Things that are happening. Yeah, I see paradise and Hades as a sub-level to the real heaven and hell that will come after the final resurrection. Okay. All right, we have about a minute left. Take it away. I think it's like Forrest Gump said. That's all I got to say about that. I think these guys handled it all well. I think that's all that needs to be said. I think they answered it all. It's a key thing I always think about. Times of no consequence to God, right? So, it doesn't matter if you say, well, what happens here and what happens here. There is no here and there to God. It's all together, you know? It's all happening at one time. Tommy, if I can just address what you said just a moment ago about the resurrection. That's the resurrection of the body. But what happens to our spirit? The moment we die, the body, you know, it decays. But our spirit is in the presence of Almighty God. Amen. That is a great thought. To be absent from the body and to be present with God. I like that. Waking up to the God's face. I like the tombstone that was in England. Beneath these clouds and beneath these trees lies the body of Solomon, peas. This is not peas. It's only as part. Jesus has been shelled out and gone home to God. Oh, my God. I love that. That's good. I'm glad we held on for that. Well, coming up in 60 seconds, we ask, why did the angel have to move the stone? We'll be right back. We're gonna have a great scripture in just a little bit. But let's right now go to our next audio question. Yes, my name's Tom. I got a question about when Jesus was in the tomb, why did the angel move the rock? Because if he was being resurrected from the tomb, he could have walked right out himself. So why was the rock even touched? Could you answer that question? Thank you. All right. Pastor Glaze. Oh, I had that one. Yeah, you did. Oh, okay. All right. Well, praise the Lord. I've always taught that the stone was not rolled away to let Jesus out. It was to let the other people in and let them see what was happening. You know, Jesus, when you looked at, he walked through walls, man. You know, I mean, he just kind of appeared in rooms. He walked through walls. And so, yeah, he didn't need the stone rolled away. So the reason that it was rolled away was to give proof that he did rise from the dead and to let the people on the outside know that he rose from the dead. What a great sight that must have been. Yeah, so good. Well, I think also when Jesus was walking around in his earthly ministry, he was deferring some of his, you know, Godship. You know, he was still 100% God, 100% man, but he wasn't allowing himself to be as fully ministered to by the angels as he did when he was on his throne. And so now that the work is finished, he goes back to fully embracing that. Hebrew says that though he was God, he didn't consider God, equality with God, something to be grasped or obtained or used for his benefit, but now he's allowed to be ministered to again at that full level. And so I think the reason why is to also show he has that command of the angelic army and he's back on his seat and on his throne. Well, I think that's an interesting point. And I want to kind of expand this just a little bit for you guys, is why does God use angels at all? I mean, he doesn't have to. I mean, snap his fingers, the rock would fly out of the way, you know? I mean, why does God use angels at all? Well, you know, there's a practical side to it that there are messengers and they minister to us and all those types of things. And you're right, God could just snap his finger, do what he needs to do. You know, there's some things that I feel like sometimes he's just God.  It's like, why did he create dinosaurs? Why did he create a dog? He's like, I liked it, you know? So he's something about the angels that he just liked and said, I'm going to use this as my creation in order to do that. So they're a realm of creation that God chose to use to be of benefit to man. Even before man was there, for whatever reason, they were there to serve him. Lucifer was the worshiping angel, part of that hierarchy with him, Michael and Gabriel, you know? So that was just what God chose to do and how he chose to use it and we get to be the benefactors of it. We do. Going back to the rock again situation, it says there in Matthew 28, now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other came to see the tomb. So that rock was rolled away, again, not to let Jesus out, but that was rolled away so that, so that scripture would be fulfilled. The women came, and I think they actually were coming to anoint the body once again. And then they asked the question, who's going to move the stone? They were asked, but they kept walking in faith. There's a sermon. That's right, they kept walking, it's like, yeah. You know, that's interesting. I have preached that. That's interesting right there. Who's going to roll away the stone? And they didn't turn back, go get some guys. No, they kept out walking. Yeah. And I also think too, Jesus, they rolled away the stone because to your point, he was stepping back into his majesty. You know, he don't need to roll his own stone no more. It's finished. And now the work has been done, you know?  Now he was reestablishing that dominion, as you mentioned, he's reestablishing that hierarchy of himself now being the king. He's no longer the suffering lamb, he's now the king, which I love the book of Revelation because that shows who he really is in chapter one. And I think that was the beginning stages of him coming into that. High and lifted up on a throne, you know what I mean? But you know, I think about this. I think about those angels that came down and rolled the stone away. Jesus hadn't seen him for like 33 years, you know? He's like, hey guys, good to see you again, you know?  I'm glad you moved that big heavy thing out of the way for me. Well, we like to end the program with a scripture. And we're gonna read this scripture in joy. I'd like you to give us a little bit on it. It says, do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary. And his understanding, no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Isaiah 40, 28 and 29. Absolutely. Well, what I want people to hear right now is if you're feeling weak, if you're feeling exhausted and burdened, God's here to give you rest. He's here to increase your strength for whatever it is that you're facing. So if you're facing those battles, know that God's there to strengthen you and to walk through whatever you're facing with you. So you're not walking alone. That Paul himself even boasted in his weakness, knowing that Christ was magnified when he strengthened us in the midst of our trials. That's fantastic. I mean, it's a great, that old him, I'm talking to him side over here. He walks with me and he talks with me, right? And he tells me that I am his own. That's right. I mean, he never leaves us or forsakes us. He gives us the strength that we need. Well, we hope you enjoyed today's program. And we want to hear from you. We'd love to hear from you.

I'd like to begin by acknowledging the Wurundjeri people as the traditional custodians of the land in which we stand and pay my respects to their elders both past and present. I'd also like to acknowledge our special guest, our distinguished guest, Uncle Colin Hunter, Wurundjeri tribe land council member. My name's John Haynes. For those who don't know me, I'm the executive director of volunteers and strategy. I'd like now to introduce to everyone our CEO, Paul Smith, who will be saying some words on CFO's behalf. Thanks Paul. Thanks John. I'd firstly like to also acknowledge that we meet today on Wurundjeri country to pay my respects to elders past and present. Uncle Colin Hunter, thank you for coming today. I'd like to acknowledge you and pay my respects to you and your people. Steve and John, thanks for coming along today and everyone here. So CFA headquarters stands on Wurundjeri country and we should never forget that fact. It's a really important thing for us when we come to work just to acknowledge the space in which we come and meet as CFA people. Today we gather to take part in a smoking ceremony. This is a traditional ceremony. It's the first time we've had it for our people, our CFA people here in headquarters territory. So I just want to make sure today everyone sort of gets to grips with this being the first time we've done this and it's a really special occasion. Let's see it not only as a way of reflecting on the past but also thinking about how exciting our future together can be. It's a more inclusive future. It's one that's more accountable and one that sees CFA people taking responsibility for themselves and their organisation as we move forward. We need to make sure we always respect the people who we work with and we always respect the organisation that we work for and that's CFA and the values that CFA has. We're stronger as a group when we get together at ceremonies like this. I'd very much like you to reflect on the significance of this ceremony because it really does represent a lot to the traditional custodians. This is my opportunity to welcome here Uncle Colin Hunter who's got a long, a steep tradition of passing on his understanding and and as does his family. So I've got a bio here for you Uncle Colin and Uncle Colin is a proud Wurundjeri man. I don't know if you've read this but you might learn a bit about yourself here. Let's see for how up-to-date this is. Whose traditional lands, and listen to this, extended from inner city Melbourne, south to the Mordialic Creek, west to the Werribee River and east to Mount Boer Boer. That's a fair bit of dirt you look at. Absolutely. So that's a fair bit of traditional land. So Uncle Colin Hunter is the first traditional owner in Victoria to be employed on country, in local government and he worked at the Yarra City Council managing the Aboriginal Partnership Policy for the past seven years. Nine years. I knew this would be out of date. Uncle Colin is a Wurundjeri elder people. We are in the presence of a Wurundjeri elder and has been so, and I'm tipping these numbers are wrong too, and has been so for almost nine years. Since I was 45, just like ten years. Ten years. He has sat on the Wurundjeri Council's Committee of Management about the same length of time and Uncle Colin is also an emerging artist with a couple of commissions worked by his name. So that would be, I would love to see that. Let's talk a little bit about today. So what a privilege it is here and how lucky we are to have Uncle Colin and to be part of this ceremony. And it's often said that we can't understand our present without understanding our past. So let's just consider for a second. Aboriginal culture, as the CEO said, is the oldest living culture in the world. And the people have used fire for thousands of years and it wasn't an enemy or something to be afraid of. It was a tool that played a special role in daily and cultural life. It was used to shape the landscape and to hunt in a practice known as fire stick farming. And CFA has started a journey to learn from Aboriginal people about using fire to prevent bushfires. Today is an opportunity for us to learn about and engage in local Wurundjeri culture and also encourage you to touch base with our Aboriginal members and to get to know them more. This is how we can help build an inclusive and diverse fire. Yeah, thank you. Look, I want to start off by acknowledging that this afternoon we are meeting on the lands of my ancestors, the Wurundjeri people. And I want to take this opportunity to pay my respects to my elders, both past, present and future. Elders from all nations. But I want to pay my respects to everyone gathered here, especially. But I always like to acknowledge if any Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander people joining us, I'd like to acknowledge them. Woman Jekka, welcome. Wurundjeri bullock. The Wurundjeri people welcome everyone to land today. Wurundjeri, no, no, foreign war, Wurundjeri people Wurundjeri people want to look after protect the land as they've long before. Wurundjeri country extends from the inner city of Melbourne to across the mountains of the Great Dividing Range, west to the Wurubi River, south to the Moiseate Creek and east to Mount Borbore. And the Wurundjeri people are part of the Cullen Nation and other Wurrung language group. 100 junior or willow, meaning possum. And that can be given to me by my grandmother as a young boy. I'm a proud and passionate 7th generation Warrantory man, and a direct descendant of Bibergine, who is null and getter, or head of the tribe at time at first settlement. And it's through my grandmother, Gumbriar, meaning white dove, or any tiny or nannish she was known to us mob, that I got Aboriginal culture and heritage in my life today. So for that I said thanks, man. My grandmother was one of the last of the Aboriginal people born in the early 1920s, up at Coronary admission in Healsville, before she got pushed up to barren on the river near South Wales. In Aboriginal culture, a great deal of respect is given to the land, the plants and the animals alike. And I've always got my beautiful gum lose down here. I'll get Deb to take him inside somewhere and put him somewhere or we'll leave him here somewhere, and if you get an opportunity as you're moving around this afternoon, take a nice one and put him in the pocket for the afternoon, please. The significance is that it will keep you safe along country and give you the access to the resources while you're on country. And while you're in Warrantory country, you're welcome to the traditional lands and the waterways of the Warrantory people. So woman, Jack, are welcome. Look as blackfellas move around country, as the Warrantory man, I didn't go down to Geelong to Waffa on country or to to Bendigo to George or on country, or even Dallas Springs to Aaron to country and just go on country and access the resources. The only way we could keep it sustainable was have our really clearly defined boundaries, clan boundaries. And part of that welcome ceremony would be the cleansing and the smoke to ensure that when you come on country, you didn't bring bad spirit within your be cleansed when you left country too.  And punching that word Warrantory or punching that word Corin Dirk and see what comes up. Because there's two remarkable stories. The first one of that self-determination at Hillsville, that Corin Dirk. And I said my grandmother was born in there in 21, she was actually the last female baby born on Corin Dirk in 21. So that was quite special. So that's a remarkable story, you know, within a generation they had, you know, award-winning hops that they were taking down to the Melbourne show and winning awards but never receiving their prize money for it. You know, it's quite strange. And it's just a story of self-determination.  And then also you've got that story of Melbourne and how that was colonised, you know, it's probably one of the fastest colonised cities in the world, especially when they found the gold. You know, but from 1835 when Mr. Batman signed that treaty down on the Mara Creek with the elders, 1865, well under 100 Wurundjeri people left and hardly any Boonawang people. But before I do, I just want to add to what you said there about the fire, you know, we wanted to survive without it, you know, we used it for a lot of things, you know. As he said, we've just started that fire-burning practice. And when they first got here, you know, we didn't have these big bushfires, you know, gum trees are meant to burn as we know, but we didn't have these, we didn't have the fuel on the ground. We made sure that, they also used it for hunting in different areas, they might start a fire and flush the animal out, they'd use it for cooking, they'd use it for lots of things.


the border patrol in El Paso now reporting an average of more than 2400 illegal border crossings every day. Please disperse. Nothing to see here. Please. Unreal, as if trust in American's institutions weren't already at all time lows. Thanks to the repeated exposure of partisan corruption from the IRS, the DOJ, the FBI, our mass media, big tech, and now the Department of Homeland Security. I know, I know, who could have ever predicted that happening? After all these years of failing to enforce immigration laws and failing to secure the border, the government now gaslights the public with these blatant lies. As required by today's Supreme Court order, the Title 42 public health order will remain in effect and individuals who attempt to enter the U.S. unlawfully will continue to be expelled to Mexico or their home country. Okay, isn't that exactly how it's supposed to work? And don't we have Donald Trump to thank for that? Is it possible this story is true? Yes it is. People should not listen to the lies of smugglers who take advantage of vulnerable migrants putting lives at risk. The border is not open and we will continue to fully enforce our immigration laws. And that's exactly the kind of gaslighting I'm talking about. If they were enforcing our immigration laws, why would we have this problem in the first place? We will continue to manage the border, but we will do so within the constraints of decades old immigration system that everyone agrees is broken. We need Congress to pass the comprehensive immigration reform legislation President Biden proposed the day he took office. So is this a political ad or a statement from what's supposed to be a non-partisan institution? Just ignore the record-breaking numbers flowing across the border with at least 73,000 known gotaways in just one month and now open support for unchecked borders by Democrats. Believe us when we say the border's not open. Please believe me. Please believe me. Is it just me or does this statement from the DHS read like a list of demands from a hostage taker? Go along with what Democrats call immigration reform or will continue to allow people flowing across the border? And we all know that so-called immigration reform is just amnesty for 11 million illegal immigrants that Democrats think will give them permanent control. It seems to me and many others that what makes our system broken is the fact that we actually reward people who ignore and break our immigration laws. This happens because of catch and release, which again Democrats believe will benefit them, birthright citizenship, which should end to stop chain migration and because our asylum laws are being exploited. We all constantly hear from Democrats and their media that these people are asylum seekers and their cases need to be heard. But the fact is for most of these people that is not the case. Most of them are coming for a better life, yes, but unfortunately that's not the terms under which asylum is granted. And you don't have to take it from me some right-wing nut on YouTube. Listen to what Barack Obama had to say about it. All right folks, if you enjoyed that please hit that like button, share and subscribe, and make sure to leave a comment to join the discussion. Thanks a lot and I'll see you all in the next video.
