Hello, David Diger Hernandez here. Welcome to Spirit Church. Today I'm talking about the three keys to overcoming sin and temptation. God wants you to be free from sin. God wants you to live in the freedom of righteous living in the power of holiness. And He wants you to live in the obedience to His Word. And I believe that God has every key that you need to overcoming that sin, that temptation, right here in His Word. So we're going to be talking about that today first. Stephen Makazuma is going to lead us in worship. Right where you're at, just begin to see God. Father, we know you're with us God wherever you go. Father, we praise you and we honor you God with our worship God. Father, we love you Jesus and we praise you God. Jesus, we honor you today God. At this moment Jesus. There's no place I'd rather be. I want more of your presence.  Father, I want to experience the fullness of you are. And I want to experience all that you have.  But God, I want to overcome sin. I want to overcome temptation. I'm tired of finding myself frustrated. Paul the Apostle writes, the things that I want to do, I just can't seem to do those things. And the very things that I don't want to do, I want to avoid, I can't seem but to be drawn to them. So in that predicament, we see that even Paul the Apostle struggled with the flesh. So as you were worshiping, thank you, by the way, Steve, that was awesome worship. And as you were worshiping in your homes or wherever you're watching this from. And you know what the topic is as I introduced it and you're saying, Lord, I want to overcome that. I'm tired of living in that way. You know, Jesus said in Matthew chapter 5 verse 48, be he perfect even as your heavenly Father is perfect. You often hear it said that nobody was perfect but Jesus. Jesus in Matthew chapter 5 verse 48 commands this perfection. And the scripture talks about that the word of God has been given to us for the perfecting of the saints. Job chapter 1 verse 1 says, there was a man who dwelt in the land of us, his name was Job, and he was perfect and upright before the Lord. Now when I say perfect, I'm not talking about the perfection that Christ achieved, that we could never really achieve here on the earth. But this perfection is more of a maturity, a completeness, a wholeness, a finished touch. And God wants to bring you to the place where you can live in freedom from sin. Sure, there will always be those things of our flesh that we fight. Sure, there will always be the temptations that we face. Even Christ himself faced temptation and the scripture says that he was sinless. So that tells me that being tempted is not a sin. So Christ was tempted. The disciples were tempted. The prophets were tempted. Everyone in this scripture was tempted and all of them fell except for Jesus. And so we're given the keys to overcoming temptation. We're given the keys to holy and righteous living right in the Bible. Jesus tells us that when we pray, he says, hey, when you go before God, you say, our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom and come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. And in that same prayer, among other things, we are instructed to pray that we be not led or lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Or some translations say the evil one. But the point is that Jesus is saying that we are to pray to be delivered from temptation, to be as far away from it as possible. The problem comes when we want to tread the line of our temptations so that we can get satisfaction out of being near them and we can get the satisfaction of knowing that they're at our convenience anytime that we'd like. And really our attitude, our goal, our mindset should be as Christians. Lord, I want to get away from that line as far as I possibly can. Jesus said to pray that we be not led into temptation. He said, lead us not into temptation, not help me when I put myself there. There are many people who watch this ministry and they watch it on television. I've been asked several times because many people have seen preachers fall and ministers fall and we should restore them and be gracious. And I personally don't think that the church handles fallen preachers very well. But aside from that, many have asked the question to me straight out. They said, well, what makes you different from those? How do we know you're not going to face certain things? And well, I strive for holy living. I've often asked myself that same thing and I said, Lord, I want to make sure I continue to live a life that I can say is above reproach that people can look to and say, well, that's a good example of Christ. But at the same time, I'm able to keep myself there, not that I'm perfect, not that I've obtained it, but I'm able to keep myself in clean living. I'm able to keep myself in standard with the word of God as a minister of the gospel. I'm able to keep myself there because I realize that I am not different than those who have fallen. I realize that I am not strong enough to handle temptation on my own. I realize that I shouldn't put myself in places that will tempt me. So many people look at these situations. They say, well, I'll go around what I'm tempted with. I'll go to the places of temptation and pray that God gives me strength when I'm there. But one of the first keys, and this isn't the listed keys that I'm going to give you. As you know, I usually give lists. There's three keys to overcoming temptation. I just kind of want to talk to you about the nature of temptation first. But in discussing the nature of temptation, we must come to realize that we ourselves should not place ourselves there. The scripture says that God doesn't give you any more than you can handle. The problem isn't that God gives us more than we can handle. The problem is that we put on ourselves more than God has given us and therefore more than we can handle. So as believers, as Christians, we are to avoid the places of temptation. We are not to put ourselves in and say, well, I'm strong enough. Well, I can handle it. Well, I'm good now. We have to avoid at all costs the things that tempt us and say, Lord, I want to keep my eyes completely on you. I don't want to go to the places that I know I'm going to be. I don't want to go to places where I'm going to have to hold close and say, Lord, help me. I want to avoid those. But the reality is that even though we don't want to be led into temptation, even though we as Christians don't look to tread that fine line between sin and holiness, even though we as Christians look to live our lives above reproach, above blame, above accusation, we will find ourselves placed in the places of temptation because we live in the world though we're not of the world. Sure, we're not of the world. We belong in heaven with God. Our place is with our Father. We are children of God. We are heavenly beings walking here on earth. I want you to really think about that. But the reality is too that we are of heaven in the earth. And when we're in the earth, we're going to find ourselves tempted. We're going to find ourselves faced with things that draw us and lure us into the places that we know we shouldn't go into doing things you shouldn't do, into saying things you shouldn't say, into hearing things you shouldn't hear, et cetera, et cetera. There is a very seductive power to sin in that it's alluring, it's magnetic. It knows how to draw on our weaknesses and the enemy has been watching man since the creation. The enemy knows how to tempt us, which we're going to get to in just a moment. So the enemy understands our weaknesses. He understands how to tempt you. He understands that he's not going to tempt you with something with which you are not tempted.  And so we as believers have to come to the mindset, as Job said, he says, I've made a covenant with my eyes. I will not allow them to behold any evil thing.  I'm not going to let my ears hear evil things.   I'm not going to let myself do evil things, et cetera, et cetera. So first John chapter 2 verse 16 tells us of the nature of sin and seduction and unrighteousness. And it really condenses it all into one thing. See, I can sit here and I can preach against the sin of alcoholism or drunkenness. I can preach against the sin of fornication, which is sex outside of marriage. I can preach against the sin of homosexuality, which by the way, it is a sin. I was asked that question today. We love them. We preach the gospel to them. We want God to save them, but that is a sin. And now more than ever, we preachers can't be afraid of preaching the truth. We have to be bold in our declarations. There's the sin. I could talk about murder. I could talk about lying. I could talk about stealing. I could talk about lust of all forms. I could go on listing things, but that's not the gospel. The gospel is not the presentation of the problem. It's the presentation of the solution. And so in keeping with the nature of the gospel, though I can talk about sin, I really do believe that the Holy Spirit knows how to do His job. We as the believers are to love people. The Holy Spirit convicts of sin. And so you know in your heart what are the areas in your life that need to be made right. And I don't need to beat you over the head with those because you already know. As I talked about sin and temptation, the very reason you're watching this is because there are things that you could think of where you're saying, Lord, I don't want to do those things anymore. I want to be free. I want to come into the place where I can say, Lord, I'm clean before you. And even though sometimes you may mess up now and there, you live a lifestyle of holiness. Sin is not necessarily making a mistake, but it's living the mistake again and again and again in a rebellious way. So 1 John chapter 2 verse 16 says this and it's so insightful. This is powerful stuff right here that he tells us. The scripture says, For the world offers only a lust of the flesh, a lust of the eye, and the pride of life. The New Living Translation says the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our own achievements and possessions. That's so insightful because all sin, as I mentioned just a second ago, though it can be listed and categorized and specified, I can go on listing 10,000 sins and still have many more to mention. However, the Bible tells us the very core, the very root, the very fundamental aspects of sin, the fundamental roots of sin are the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. It's those three things. And if we can narrow it down to those three things, instead of trying to put labels attached with what the scripture says, though the Bible does mention the sins, it's not our job to go labeling people. It's our job to preach freedom from sin, people knowing their hearts at their centers. To preach that Jesus forgives, he saves, he can set them free from that, and he can save them from the hell that's coming. So we are to preach that salvation from those things. But instead of going on listing those things, we can simplify the matter, and we don't complicate it in our minds. It's the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. It doesn't matter who you are, it doesn't matter how evil you consider your sin to be, it doesn't matter how often you sin, it doesn't matter how bound you are to that sin, it doesn't matter how bad you feel about that sin. All sin, no matter what it is, will fall under the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, or the pride of life. Those are the three things. Now watch this. In Genesis chapter 3, remember I talked about the enemy having been around since the creation of man, and he understands how to tempt us. And I'll tell you why you know that, because first John chapter 2 verse 16 tells us the very nature, the core essence of sin, the three fundamental roots of sin. And then the Scripture goes on to tell us that in Genesis chapter 3 verse 1, watch this, this is awesome that the Scripture gives us this sort of insight. It says, Now that serpent is Satan. There are many Scriptures to support that. That's a different study for a different time, which I am working on, a new teaching on demons. And I promise you, as I was studying on demons, it was just blowing my mind. And I was talking to you at dinner the other night. I'm excited about that new teaching, so stay tuned. I really am excited about the teaching that comes out of this ministry. Last week, Kevin Beckman was here, and he taught on stewarding the anointing. You've got to watch that clip. Just relax. I mean, if you've got some time after this clip, go right to that one. Kevin Beckman did a teaching on stewarding the anointing, but then on top of that, stick around for the coming weeks. I got a teaching coming on demons that I know is going to bless your life, and expose the enemy, and bring freedom. Anyway, so that is the devil. That serpent is the devil, okay? It says, Of course, we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, the woman replied. It's only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, Number one, that tells me Eve doesn't know the word of God. The word of God is not in her heart. So the enemy tells her this. You won't die, the serpent replied to the woman. God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God knowing both good and evil. So the enemy is already lying there. He's already trying to seduce her into telling her, you can be like God. You can understand what God understands. You can know what God knows. And I was having lunch with a friend today who pointed out that he said, well, they did end up knowing good and evil because they knew after they ate the fruit that God was good and they were evil. And so their eyes were opened, but the enemy had seduced them into doing something. It was rebellious. It was a mutiny. They were turning against God. And so the woman was convinced verse six. Now watch this. Remember 1 John chapter 2 verse 16, and then remember this Genesis 4 or 3 6. The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious and the scripture says she hungered for it and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. Watch that. She saw. There's the lust of the eye. She hungered for it, the lust of the flesh, and she wanted to be like God, the pride of life. The enemy hit her on all three points right at the beginning. And then the scripture says, so she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband who had to be right there next to her watching this whole thing if she could just turn and give him some. Okay? Who was with her and ate it too. At that moment their eyes were open and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves. Now let's correlate this also. This gets even better. Matthew chapter 4. This is the temptation of Christ now. This is after he was baptized and he heads off into the wilderness. Matthew chapter 4 verse number 1. The scripture says, then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil. Again, there he is to do the tempting. The enemy was there at the creation and then the enemy was there when Christ was ready to go out and do ministry. And this is what the scripture says in verse 2. For forty days and forty nights he fasted and became very hungry. During that time the devil came and said to him, if you are the Son of God tell these stones to become loaves of bread. Jesus told them, no, the scriptures say, people do not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Then the devil took them to the Holy City of Jerusalem to the highest point of the temple and said, if you are the Son of God, jump off.  In verse 7, Jesus responded, I love how quick he is. Jesus responded, the scriptures also say, you must not test the Lord your God. Verse 8, next the devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. Verse 9, I will give it all to you, he said, if you will kneel down and worship me. Verse 10, Jesus replies, get out of here Satan, Jesus told him. For the scriptures say, worship the Lord your God and serve him only. Verse 11, I love this. Then the devil went away and angels came and took care of Jesus. It was that simple. Jesus had free will. Jesus would not have been tempted if it wasn't tempting and it wouldn't have been tempting for Jesus if it wasn't a possibility that he could have done what he was being told to do. Jesus could have given an attemptation, but he didn't. Now some say, well, Jesus is God. So that's how he did it. No, no, no, the scripture says that he stripped himself of all godliness so that the only power he had that was divine was the power of the Holy Spirit. So the very same power that Jesus had to overcome temptation is the very same power by which you and I can now overcome temptation. So notice this now. Satan told Jesus to do three things. Number one, make these stones bread. That's the lust of the flesh. Why? Because Jesus was hungry.  That's number two, the pride of life.  It was the lust of the eye. The enemy again coming with the three fundamental roots of sin and temptation. James chapter 4 verse 7 through 8 tells us that if we resist the devil he will flee from us. First Corinthians chapter 10 verse 13 tells us that God will give us no more than we can bear. Hebrews chapter 4 verse 15 says that in every point Jesus was tempted. What points? It's talking about those three points. At every one of those single points Jesus was tempted. So was he tempted with every specific sin that there ever was? No. There was a movie that they made about Jesus where they tried to imply that he was tempted with every possible form of temptation. That's not true. Jesus was tempted in every point of sin, not every specific sin. So what can we learn from the temptation of Christ? Well number one, remember how he responded to each one. Jesus responds to each one by saying something from Scripture. But he also says the first time, he says no, the Scriptures say people do not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. So how does he overcome the lust of the flesh? This is beautiful. This is where it all ties in. So the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life, Jesus was tempted in each one and in each one he had a different response. How do you overcome the cravings of the flesh? The sins like gluttony, the sins like sexual sins, the sins like drug addiction. How do you overcome the physical lust of the flesh? Well, Jesus said it's by the word of God. The Scripture says this, oh this is so beautiful how it ties in perfectly. The Scripture, I'm telling you truth is truth and it is consistent all across the board. Psalm chapter 119 verse 11, this is where the Bible says that the word helps you overcome sin. Psalm chapter 119 verse 11 says I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. So I'm putting the word of God within me so that no sinful action comes out of me. There was a famous evangelist I don't remember because it was an older quote but he said that sin will keep you from the word of God or the word of God will keep you from sin. And so the word of God, the more of the word of God that you have in you that lessens the cravings of the flesh. So you want to know how to overcome lust. You want to know how to overcome all those things. You fill your mind with the word. You fill your soul with the word. You fill your spirit with the word. The more often that you're in the word, the weaker the physical cravings of the flesh become. The lust of the flesh loses its power when you get into the word. The lust of the flesh loses its power as you memorize the scripture as you learn the truth of the word of God. That's number one. So number one, you overcome the lust of the flesh through the word. Number two, the scripture says, remember that Jesus was told to prove himself and that's the pride of life. So number two, Jesus said what? He said, no, you'll only worship the Lord your God, right? And so number two, the way Jesus overcame the pride of life was by worship. When we worship the Lord, we humble ourselves before him. We say, Lord, I don't want more of me. I want more of you.  John chapter 3 verse 30 says, I must decrease, but he must increase. Paul the apostle writes, I die daily. Some of you might be saying I die like a million deaths a day. And it's true. The word of God is consistent all across that we must worship if we're to kill the pride of life. As we lay ourselves before God and say, Lord, it's not me, it's you. It's not about my dreams. It's about your will. It's not about what I want. It's about what you want. And we stop fighting him. We stop resisting him. And we stop putting ourselves in the places of sin. We do it through worship. We do it through adoring him. We do it through focusing on him. We do it through capturing that image of the sun. As you've heard me teach you on worship before, you capture the image, the revelation of the sun. You hold that image and you glance at it.  To overcome sin, you don't need to fight harder or discipline yourself more. That's a very small part of it. To overcome sin, you need to look to Jesus. To overcome sin, you need to love Jesus. Loving Jesus is the key, the greatest key to overcoming sin. And really all sin, even the lust of the eye and the lust of the flesh, I would argue, that is rooted too in the pride of life. Because everything about sin says you're not God. I'm God. That's everything about sin. It resists the will of God. It resists the nature of God. It resists all of his desires, all of his wants, all of his preferences. It's you saying, God, I know you designed me this way, but I'm going to function this way.  I decide what I do. All sin comes down to self-worship. All sin is selfishness. It comes down to saying, I'm the Lord of my own life. That is why worship breaks the power of the pride of life over you. It's that puffed up that you get. You get puffed up when you're associated with certain groups or certain music or certain styles or certain industries or certain fads or certain people. You get puffed up when you're identified with the world as a party person or as someone who can hold their liquor or drink. I know people. They're so proud that they can drink.  And they're proud of it because that's the pride and they think it's an accomplishment in some way. They love being associated with darkness and wickedness and sin. They love being associated with people who are rebellious or people who are modern or sophisticated or a part of this world. They want to be identified with the world. They want to be identified with its systems. They want to be identified with its music industry, with its television industry, with its movie industry, with its fashion industry. They want to identify with it. They find pride in it and they allow themselves to come into the places of sin because of the pride of life. They're puffed up. They don't want to be identified with God because it humbles them because it's saying, I'm not in charge, God's in charge because it embarrasses them. Some people are embarrassed in the name of Jesus because of the pride of life. I don't want that to be me. So I will humble myself. I will worship. And thirdly, Jesus overcame the lust of the eye through humility. And so, in Scripture, we see the keys. And really, even though they're very specific in that order, it's quite possible that they all overlap. That you can overcome all three through all three. It works either way. So the word, worship, and finally number three is humility. The Scripture says, James 4-6, God resists the proud but He gives grace to the humble. Grace is the power to resist sin. Grace is God's empowering presence in your life. Grace is not an excuse of sin. It's the power to overcome it. And so, when you, when God doesn't resist the humble, He gives them grace. So when you humble yourself before God, you're saying, Lord, I need your grace. God, I need you near me. I used to pray when I first got saved and I was enthusiastic about everything that was happening in my life. I used to pray, Lord, I want you to be with me every week. I want you to just give me a fresh touch. I want to experience your presence and be with me every day. I want, I want to experience your presence every day and the more I've grown, the more I've realized how desperate I am for Him. And now I say, Lord, I don't need you every hour. I don't need you every minute. I need you every moment. I need your presence. I need, I need this grace. I need your power. I need the Holy Spirit. I need that with me every moment. And so, as Stephen begins to play, I'm going to now use this message to a close. You're living in the power of sin. You're living in the power of what the enemy holds over you. It's time to break free from sin and temptation once and for all. Let me pray with you. Let's agree that God is going to break that off of you. I know it's been tough.  You know, the trick of the Bible and read where you don't want to pray, that's because it's the enemy trying to double down on his assault on you. But let me tell you something. The shortest distance between you and God is worship. The shortest distance between you and God is worship. So, I want to pray with you.  Addictions are going to be broken. There's people watching right now. You have drug addictions, alcohol addictions. It's going to be broken right now. Not because of me, but because of the power of the Holy Spirit. If two touching anything shall agree in my name, it shall be done unto them. That's the word of God. That confidence I have is not in my ability to pray. It's in God's word. And so we're going to pray for that addiction to be broken off of you. We're going to pray for the less to be broken off of you. Some of you are addicted to pornography and fornication and sexual sins. We're going to pray for the less to be broken today. But all we're going to do right now is smash that lock or unlock the cage. In your everyday life you have to choose to step out of that cage and keep out of that cage. That comes through choice. So the deliverance comes when its hold is loosed on you. But the everyday decision kicks in when you need to lose your hold on him. When I pray for you and we're going to pray and God's power is going to break sin's power over you. But you everyday have to lose your grip on sin through choice. So through power sin's grip is broken. Through choice your grip is loosed. So God's going to set you free right now. The cage is going to be open but it's up to you from this moment on to choose to walk out and stay out. And I believe you can do it. I know you can. Sure. You may revisit it now and then sure you may slip up but you keep going and if you keep going you will win.  You're going to come out of this and you're going to look back one day and you say I remember when I was bound I remember when as a believer I had trouble with this. Let me tell you something we preach 1 Corinthians 6 where it goes on listing all these sins. We preach that to people as if it's people who need to get saved but Paul wrote that to the church. 1 John 1 verse 9 says if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. The scripture writes and just above that the scripture says my little ones I write this unto you so that you do not sin but if you do you know you have an advocate. Can I tell you that many of the epistles were written to Christians teaching them how to overcome their sin let that shame and guilt be broken off of you today let it be done. You're coming out of this thing you're going to be free from this thing you're no longer going to be bound you're no longer going to live in guilt you're no longer going to live this over your head you're no longer going to be looking over your shoulder at your past wondering if things are going to catch up let me tell you something God is going to set you free today and I believe it because the Word of God speaks it and if the Word of God speaks it there's power for God to perform it in your life let's pray now Father in Jesus name I pray for that one watching break the power of the enemy over their life right now in the name of Jesus in the name of the son of the living God I break every addiction right now I break drug addiction I break alcohol addiction I break sexual addiction I break the addictions to pride the addictions to anger I break it over their lives now in Jesus name and Lord if there be any demonic influence I cast out every demonic spirit I cast out every demonic influence by the power of the Holy Spirit I evict every demonic force from their lives from their homes and from everyone they love in Jesus name and so Father I pray you now fill each one watching with the power of the Holy Spirit fill them with that freshness fill them with that newness of life fill them with that joy that peace that King David created me a clean heart oh God a renewal right spirit within me cast me not away from thy presence oh Lord and take not thy Holy Spirit from within me Father let that be our prayer and as they pray I pray Lord for forgiveness to sweep across that room therein I pray for the grace to empower them I pray for guilt to be broken shame to be broken peace to flood their very soul joy to flood their very soul clarity to flood their very soul I pray in the name of Jesus that to take place right at this very moment that the enemy Lord every lie that the enemy some of you the enemy is lying to you right now even as we're praying he's telling you you're not forgiven he's telling you it's not over he's telling you you're going to struggle I command that lying devil in Jesus name to loose that hold and shut his mouth in the name of Jesus and I pray for the truth of God to trump every single lie in the name of Jesus and Father I pray right now that you would wash away the stains you'd wash away the stains give them a new confidence Lord in who they are in you in Jesus name we pray I feel the anointing going through right now breaking every yoke of bondage and God has set you free today go now and sin no more live in the freedom that God has given to you now before I dismiss and as Stephen continues to play I want you to know that Spirit Church is our online discipleship program this is our ministry to the believers our ministry to

those showers bubble up wintry over higher ground as we head through the day real chill in the air with these winds coming down from the north means highs of eight or nine degrees in the winds are feeling much colder have a good day. Yeah that is the forecast that we wrote to it's an absolute freak week in terms of weather it's would you believe we're in May and it's forecast snow I'm about to wait my way to people's golf course we've been staying this tontine hotel in Peebles which is a seems to be a really nice little market town we'll have a look around there later but we're making our way for an 11 am t-time on the hope that we don't get snow in May. I've been 94 in September. Wow and how long have you been a member at Peebles Golf Course? I joined about 1982 when I came up from England in 81 and I've been here playing since 82. And what are your thoughts on the golf course? Lovely lovely lovely when it was a an old hut well an old hut before we got these lovely premises it was still very friendly you have the little cubicles and it was a it's a nice new clubhouse you have now? Oh it's super yes it is yeah very nice and and when you think of somebody like me who's looking out of the rain now and you've already been out this morning in this bit rather unusual weather for this time of year. What advice do you have do you think I should just get on out there? I think it would have to be when proof and waterproof. How good is it to hear from people like Jim incredible 93 years old goes out twice a week and there'll be another story from Jim a bit later on on how his group of friends help support the juniors in this club amazing but the rain has stopped it was a short delay it's not quite the sun shining but we've got some moody skies behind us and you can see some dramatic backdrops already we're on the fourth tee and I'm looking forward to this one we finally get out how good is that? So so you play how often do you play then? Oh I only play twice a week now only twice a week yes yes yes I've got something called cpd right I don't know what it is but it's a a lung infection that doesn't get any better but I just take a little puff on my my medicine and it helps me along yeah I've played nine but I'm on the buggy and I'm playing in this competition so I don't think I've won the golf ball this morning but you still enjoyed it? Oh yes yes I did yeah any memories of the golf course you'd want to share with us over those 40 years anything that stands out? Well if you take a look at the stairs but you'll see that I won a competition in the centenary year that's my only claim to him name is on the board fantastic and it's a lovely cup I think it's the nicest one in the club the nicest one to win yes yes and and when we go out on the course hopefully when that rain stops in an hour or so where are the sort of what's the nicest holes that we should look out for? I think without doubt the most beautiful is the top one the top one corcani that's the most beautiful of you yes it is well look forward to that you can see down the valley yes and a nice day well look thank you for having a little chat on our channel that's all right the pleasure I'll afford a million more years out on the fairways for you thank you very much if you keep playing nine holes with my friends and that's the important thing the coffee and the friends at people's we're very welcome in club well it's as we sit and wait for another rain shower I hope it's a shower anyway to pass over I think I'll hand you back over to Jim and let him tell you about what they do in terms of their seniors group and how they support the up-and-coming youngsters at people's golf club about nine or ten of us started away back in 1984 I think we started so we've been running it just as a little Thursday morning meeting nice it was yes and it's been going very well we used to play for the odd copper or two but we stopped and we've gone quite professional and we play we got golf ball now if we win and I suppose our claim to fame within the club is we give them about 300 pounds off that pound there's enough surplus to give to the boys and girls to start them up give them lessons it's nice nice atmosphere there's about 40 of us now well you don't have to be in the highlands to see highland cows you've got three sat there in the field as you think they're an amazing animal you know as books we'll know there's a figurehead of one of them in my not real of course in my in my room back at home or our office how good are they beasts well it's such a challenge today uh I'm really feel sorry for people's golf course because trying to do our best to show it off but the rains come down again and even that backdrop that you can see now literally five minutes ago we could see the tops of those mountains snow on them you've probably seen already some shots that we've put over but right in the minute it looks like a scene from Lord of the Rings it looks like Mordor or something it's so dark and I better get under some cover I think I think sometimes you just gotta accept your face and have a fake square Chris from Mark and Spencer's our accommodation was on people's high streets at the tontine and just five minutes drive to the first tee a great place to stay and wait to breakfast with views of the mountains and the river right we're going to try a little creative well bump and run over this little brow it's a lovely green complex loving this and up and go and go come on then I love those type of shots but again probably can't see from back there uh the way this green moves you can imagine they can have a couple of a bit of fun with some different pin positions the good news is the rain has stopped and uh how long for I don't know because at the back of the camera it's looking quite dark but for the time being we're back out on pebbles and we'll do our best to show this place off the views are incredible I just wished it was a clear day oh really nice par 3 I'm up on what it's hold 12 I think it's playing about 170 off the whites uh little brook weaves its way through on the left hopefully we shouldn't that shouldn't trouble us if it does have it a bit of a stinker um my tee's broke nothing's going right today I'll tell you what would be good holding one with a camera on I'd change things up a bit wouldn't it what a nice little par 3 the green doesn't look particularly big slightly uphill I'm going to try a little sick sign it's a great strike I think it's hard to the green is it sit down yeah it's a great club perfect distance and a great little par 3 like I said well the bad news is the rain is back already the good news is I'm about to hold this for birdie or not oh dear me the rain didn't stay away for long all right we are uh what are the highest point 14 and 15 should be a time right now where I'm filming some amazing drone footage and you're seeing these backdrops crazy backdrops but we ain't I'm afraid and uh well I don't really know why I'm carrying on I'm just uh doing my best to uh to show you as much as I can whilst I get wet in the process this would be absolutely spectacular and you'll have to take my word for it the big deal every golf club looks better when the sun is shining there's no doubt I've had it but a golf course like this when the views are what they are then it's it's even more disappointing that we can't show them um because as I keep saying I've used the word spectacular enough my hands are also freezing what let's see when you get a drive down there I'm determined to finish oh and let's drive for the day why haven't we got a shot where the ball's flying into the mountain and we can pick it up instead of these rainy white skies right it's early on the uh well it's actually a friday morning it's just past seven a.m and I decided inspired by Jim if he can get out of here twice a week and play nine holes at 93 years of age then I can make a bit of an effort to try and show you people's golf club uh well in a bit better light it's not perfect but I'm gonna get the drone up and just show you what the views were I was talking about yesterday when unfortunately we didn't quite get finished as the heavens still open but I still enjoyed my day and then we'll finish off with a little bit of a look hopefully of uh that view over there


Hello OscillatorSync here. Today we are making a long overdue return to the Norand Morphos to see what it can achieve today in my modular rig. This is the second video in a series where we are taking a look at the Morphos. In the first video we made use of it in a kind of conventional monosynth environment, which it did a very lovely job in, but it is a module which encourages you to do more extreme modulation. There's also things we can do across modulation, audio modulation built into the contextual modulators, and so today we're going to take it to some more kind of extreme places. In that first video I did a kind of general overview and sort of sound review of the Morphos listening to different wave shapes, talking about how the contextual modulators work, and although I'll kind of talk about them a little bit as I use them in this video I'm not going to go into as much depth in terms of how they work, so if you want to check out that video first to get kind of an idea of how the Morphos works I'll put a link to that in the description of this video. So my goal for this patch is to take the Morphos and use it as the only kind of synth oscillator in this patch, but by making use of the various different ways that we can modulate it internally plus the various cross-modulations you can do between the two oscillators in the module. By routing this module maybe through a bunch of low pass gates and filters, bringing them in in stereo, hopefully we can create something that's quite complex using just the two oscillators that are sat inside Morphos. Now I know my viewership are very very observant people so it won't escape to your notice that I have a bunch of stuff already pre-patched here, so let's just quickly go over what we have. So let's first we'll talk about the one thing that you'll be hearing that isn't the Morphos and that is the two HP VCO here, and this is just set up to do kind of a kick drum thing. So if I start PAMs here, so that is PAMs and this channel is doing an envelope curve that's going into the volts proctave just to give it that attack. On the triangle output which is going into a low pass gate which is receiving the same envelope shape that the pitch is, and that's just going out into the aux of x-pam which is then routed into my output. So that's the only other thing we're going to hear in this patch which is not Morphos. So in terms of Morphos itself it is taking its outputs into these buffered volts at the top of the palette case and they are just coming into each side of x-pam here so at the moment they're just doing a rather lovely stereo drone. Yes they're tuned together triangle waves at the moment. Lovely stuff. Again that's just then been routed into my output there. So as for the rest of this nest of wires here this is kind of my sequencer of sorts. So what we've got here and this is duplicated for each side of Morphos because it's obviously got two oscillator cores in here. So I've got Pams which is creating a random sequence, just a random CV sequence. There's some Euclidean stuff going on there as well just to make the rhythm a little bit more interesting. This is going into Quadract here on this channel here and then the output of that channel is going into Disting here which is a quantizer for each side. So what that allows me to do if I just turn up one side here and just pan to the middle it's fine. So if I start up Pamela because the attenuator is before the quantizer this means that I can alter the range of my sequence while still keeping it in tune. And I can do that for each side. So if I want to bring it down I can kind of do that. Just cool. So the other thing that we've got here on these two channels for the left side and the right side is this is controlling the loop parameter on Pams. So at the moment we've got quite a short repeating sequence right. If I want to make that longer I can turn this one up because that's a longer version of that sequence. If I turn it down all the way it becomes just random and doesn't loop anymore. So this is kind of a bit like a Turing machine so I can let new randomness seed in there and then lock it. So it's just a cool way of using Pams with a quantizer to kind of emulate the kind of Turing machine kind of workflow which I think works very well for this sort of techno kind of sequence. Right so that's enough of what's pre-patched. Let's patch some more stuff shall we? Okay let's start throwing some modulation at this. So kick-turn down and we'll just turn up one of the oscillators just for the moment. Okay so the first bit of modulation I want to talk about is probably this through zero FM. So through zero FM means that whenever I turn this control up it's going to be FM modulated linearly through zero by the other side. Now if the other side is playing the same melody then it'll just give you that richness of FM. But because the two sides are playing different things as we turn this up things can get pretty interesting. And because it's going to be affected by whatever sequence is going on this side if we turn this up higher there are some fun things that we can get going on in there. But we probably don't want this going the entire time I don't think. Let me see what's in there. So because we have our contextual modulators on the Morphos we can do more than just turn this knob up and down. So I just grab a patch cable. By default if this CV input for the through zero FM is white this just acts as a standard CV control. So I can turn up the amount here and then control it remotely using say at 10 here. But we also have two other modes in here. The first is an LFO. So you can come here that's sweeping in and out. The one I think is really interesting with the through zero FM is actually the final mode here which is the envelope. So now the input of the through zero FM CV is expecting a trigger and that will trigger an envelope which will throw the through zero FM knob in the direction set by the amount and we can set the rate of that envelope as well. So let's grab a sequence from PAMs and do just that. So I'll grab a patch cable here. Plug that in there. They can hear that that's been sort of triggered in time. So let's mess with what PAM is doing here. So I'm just going to come in here and set it to be a short trigger. Cool. Maybe let's get a Euclidean pattern going on here. Let's try a bit. Maybe this one running faster I think. And then let's maybe duplicate that trick on the other side as well. So throw that on the left one side. Oops. So we'll take another channel of PAMs here. Set the input here to be Envelope mode. It's triggering too much obviously so let's again get a Euclidean pattern in here maybe with some random skips as well. Okay that's fun. Obviously the left hand side is generally a lower oscillator at the moment so we're getting those sort of ripples happening but you can hear occasionally when we get both of them happening ones we get that really extreme kind of sound going on there as well. Fun. Right so the next place that we can do some pretty fun extreme modulation is by playing some audio rate modulation as well. And I'm going to try that on the wave control here. So if we put this over to, I'm just going to add just one. Okay if I set this to the orange setting here on the wave input and go across to type here kind of here straight away there right. So now we've got audio rate modulation of the wave parameter here so we're going between the different waveforms here and we can tune this in to get something that's kind of in tune but again we probably don't want that on the entire time we probably want to give it some of that action instead. So when we're in LFO mode here with the contextual modulators when it's in the orange mode here the CV input is going to control the amount. So let's make use maybe of stages to give us a envelope that we can put in there. So let's grab patch cable go into this gate here and grab the output of that there and pop it into the wave then turning up the amount will give us some of that. So again let's go into that channel on pams and let's mess with the controls here a little bit. Let's make it a trigger again so it's not holding. I reckon something that's all fast and gappy would sound cool there so let's maybe put some gaps in there with the random skip that's just the one operator one oscillator at the moment but we're hearing quite a lot of different timbres in there and if we bring in the other one as well perhaps we can do the same thing on that side as well with a different pattern I think that'd be cool. Pams go into stages to create another envelope set that to be a just a trigger again maybe on the other side here before we do that we probably want to tune that modulation so let's just set that to audio rate and of course because we're now creating these more complex timbres on each side the 30mm is going to be doing more as well so we might just want to readjust the amount 30mm on each side here but I want to make it sound like it's more than it kind of already does sound like it's more than just one synth perhaps but I want to make it more obviously more than one synth so let's think about how we can take this and make more of it so at the moment we are essentially droning the morphos here it kind of doesn't sound so much like it's droning when we have stuff going because of all of that modulation that's going on there but let's make a little less droning perhaps and I think the thing we can do here is take the outputs of the morphos and run it through some low pass gates which are being pinged at the same rate as the modulation is coming in on the 30mm and the wave on each of them and that should accentuate those particular aspects and then we can take one side of it and then also run it through a filter to run down the middle or something like that I think okay let's give that a go so I'm just going to turn that down on there un-patch the x-pan here we'll probably use it again in just a second but we need to do something else first so first things first let's uh take each of those outputs and run it into the takah low pass gate here so we can take the mult here to that side and the mult here to the other side like that and now we want to grab some gates to open up the low pass gate here so um I guess we can just take them straight from the through 0mm outputs there that probably makes sense will it reach with a short green stack cable or it might do it won't do okay never mind uh okay we'll have to use the longer ones okay so let's take um this one and go into a stack cable stack cable back into that to ping the through 0mm envelope and then into the cv input here and then similarly on this side lovely stuff and then we can take the output of that maybe back into x-pan that might work there we go back into here so now what we've got here are just the hits where the through 0mm is getting uh tapped by uh pams to open up its envelope on morphos which means we get these lovely kind of percussive plonks which are cool I think dead dancing over here right let's do the same thing uh but for that um audio rate fm on the wave so we want to take the uh gates that are coming into stages uh we can use the oscillator the gate here to get over here somehow that cables going into the gates like so okay and then we can just take those out into the cv input of the loba's gate for the output just the bits with the audio rate happening so we've got that lovely sort of pseudo fm sound and again this is all just morphos but we're just accentuating the different bits of modulation that's going into it so I think probably to finish that off would be good just to have like a a version that's going into just filter maybe I'll take it into the stereo filter here so it's a bit of a width to it even still and we can use a different he says checking yes we've got one uh channel of pams left so we can use a different uh rhythm to that as well and just have that sort of wamping up a little bit yeah okay let's do that so I'll just take one side here like that and we'll go into the input of the dual filter from adac there low pass out holding so uh yeah that's all just morphos we're throwing various bits of modulation at it then using the low pass gates being triggered by that modulation to emphasize those various little bits which is a good fun morphos likes it probably get lost in this force of the floor fun thank you so much for joining me hope you enjoyed the video if you did make sure you leave it a thumbs up that's always massively appreciated and make sure you're subscribed to the channel so you don't miss out on any upcoming otherwise until next time

Welcome to the video. Hey, wow, this is truly honestly like my second book review video I've done. So I'm still kind of learning the ropes. But my name is Nika. I'm 29 years old. I'm a graduate student that lives in New York City. Suscribe if you haven't already. I make videos about like New York City life when it's like being a graduate student at Ivy League University. Book reviews, plans with me, all those fun sorts of things. So my goal for the end of the year is to 5,000 subscribers. We are very, very, very far away from that goal. So if you can subscribe right now, I would love you forever because I'm still trying to cross 1,000 subscriber mark. Anyways, so in today's video, we're going to be talking about Holly by Stephen King. I truly enjoyed this novel. There were like a couple of points that kind of irked me a little bit, but let's just get right into it. So Holly is honestly a book that made me feel like I was missing something. This is the first Stephen King book I've ever read. And it's very apparent as you're reading it that there was some stuff that happened beforehand. Like I think it's a part of a series that he was doing. So like there was references to like um, I think his name's like Chet or something, Ozinski or Ozempic. Whatever his name is, that kind of really affected the characters in this book. Probably another like murder mystery type thing. And literally that went over my head. Like every time they brought him up, they're like, Oh, it was so frightening. He nearly killed me. I was like, Oh, it really made me go maybe I should go back and read like the prior novel, but probably not going to do that. The plot of the book. So I'm trying to figure out like what kind of structure I want to have to these book reviews. I'm thinking starting out with the plot is a great one. So Holly is obviously a character that was in other Stephen King novels that I did not write. But she is a private investigator and she's like investigating a missing person's case in her hometown. And so she is trying to figure out like what happened to this lost girl. And what's really good about this novel is that you actually start with the point of view of Holly and then also the point of view of like, yeah, kidnappers slash murderers. So right away, you're kind of like, okay, this is what Holly thinks. Okay, this is what like the murderer thinks. And like the entire novel, you're kind of like, just waiting for them to collide, which is really fun. So it's really great. Like tension building throughout the entire novel, which I really like for diversity, like equity and inclusion, there are some black characters in here, which I appreciated. But what I did not appreciate is some one, okay, there is a character her name is Barbara. And she's like a black like, not teenager, but maybe like 21, 22, like early 20s. And I'm like, I don't know a single black girl whose name is Barbara. And like 2020 at all, like I feel like that's an old black person name. I just don't think people are named anymore. So that was just kind of weird to me. But honestly, Stephen King is also pretty old. So that's probably where he's getting his name and spoke from. And what's really interesting is that there are a lot of like, different side characters that have a pretty huge influence in the novel.  Oh, also, I should mention this happens during like COVID. So 2019 2020 2021. So that's also really interesting that it's like so current like that makes it kind of a really fun read and seeing them kind of battle and think through that. And then there's also like a lot of influence from like Donald Trump in here and like the election and the political climate and just like how politicized like COVID was. So that's also really interesting. There's a really good diversity of characters. There's another black character. Her name is Keisha. And she's a friend of the person that's missing. And what really kind of throws me off No spoilers. Literally someone called Keisha Keesh as like a nickname. And I'm like that is just not never like I've never heard anyone refer to someone whose name is Keisha as like Keesh as like a nickname. Like I think that's just like a little cultural thing because obviously Stephen King is like a white man. But yeah, like Keesh is not short for Keisha. Keisha is already short for like like Keisha. So it's like people don't like I don't know. Black people just don't call Keesh Keesh like that's just not that's just not what it's giving. So there was like little things like that throughout the novel that kind of like annoyed me. But overall it was a really good novel. And I did appreciate like the diversity that was kind of woven through it. Like you do have a lot of black characters in there. And yeah, I really appreciated that. Overall, I would probably give this like, um, let's see out of 10. I don't know. Maybe like an a and a half out of 10. Like I definitely would recommend this. It is very, very big. I think it's like 300 pages. Let me see 400, 400 and like 45 pages. And honestly, I still got through it pretty quickly. Like I think I read this all within the month of January. And yeah, there are nights where I was like, okay, I want to go to bed early because I want to read this novel. So it is really good. I do wish like I would have gotten a bit more of the insight about what happened with this person that they kept alluding to like throughout the novel. But I guess you have to read the one that was before it if you want to kind of be included. I do really like the class like there's an element of class within the movie or in the movie within the book as well because the main character suddenly her class changes and she doesn't really know what to do. But then it's also like the halves and the half knots because the setting of the book is on like this college area like campus type town and I grew up there also in the Midwest too. So I really like that. I grew up near Ann Arbor, which is a very wealthy like city, but there is like Ypsilanti and that's like kind of a little bit less like, you know, to do but so close to like Ann Arbor. And so that's kind of like how their town is as well. Like there's a places right near the college are like really affluent and they have all these really nice like $100,000 homes or whatever. And then you have people who live a little bit further away and like trailer parks and stuff. So that was really interesting to see as well. And then I did like that there's like a lot of like elderly people and the novel. I mean, when we talk about diversity, equity and inclusion, I feel like we never really talked about older people. So it was nice just to like see like like that life perspective when you are like a bit older and more season and kind of know what's going on. But yeah, the murderers or the kidnappers, they're like kind of crazy, which is really thrilling to read. And like honestly, I learned a lot about racism from this book. Like no spoilers, but throughout the book, he actually acknowledges at the Christie's novel that like one of her debut novels that was like super racist, like it used to be called like 12 little inwards or something. And then they changed it to like 12 little Indians. And now I think if you want to buy it, it's called and then they were none. And I had like never heard of that before ever. Not that I've read any of the Christie novels, but like I read a lot. So I know who she is. She's a very prominent author from the UK. And I was just like, wow, I was like, okay, Stephen King call your girl out. Like I had no idea that that like had even existed. But obviously Stephen King is a little bit older and athlete Christie is a little older. I'm not even sure she's still alive. But that novel that he references in here that came out in like the 50s or like the 40s or something. So racism was still very much a thing. Overall, yeah, I would give this book like, I think I said a nine out of 10 or maybe an eight and a half. Like I definitely would recommend this. It's really, really good. Yeah. So I hope you like it. Let me know if you read it or if you're thinking about reading it in the comments below, like, what kind of books do you read? Like what kind of books are you into? I've really been into like thrillers lately. So the book I read before this was Verity, which is really good. If you're looking for a thriller, I'll leave the link for that here or in the comment section below. And then also what I'm reading now is wait, let me go get it. Okay. So what I'm reading right now is Pineapple Street, which is really good. It's not a murder mystery or a thriller at all, but it's more like a social commentary. I'm like what it means to be rich in America and what that has to do with like race. And like, honestly, I really love this novel and I wanted to read it because it's based in Brooklyn, New York. And I actually used to live a couple of blocks away from Pineapple Street. So when I saw it, and then I read the premise, it's about like people who obviously live in these like mansions that are on Pineapple Street. I was like, ooh, I really want to read that. And like, they make references to like, buildings that I used to live in and streets that I used to walk on when I lived in that neighborhood. They are primarily set in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood, which is a very, very affluent neighborhood in Brooklyn, like Sarah Kajeska Parker used to live there. I think she might still have a house there, like very wealthy people live in Brooklyn Heights, but then also like college dorm that's there too. So I lived there when I was in my undergrad program at Pace University. So it's just really interesting to see and I always love reading books based in New York because I live in New York. So if you're looking for something that's a little more light, you can check this out. I haven't finished it yet. I am about, I'm here. So I'm about halfway through. And yeah, keep watching and subscribing if you guys are avid book readers. I'll be posting a video about Pineapple Street once I'm finished reading it. And if you are thinking about reading Holly by Stephen King, I definitely recommend it. A lot of diversity, equity, inclusion in there, really good storyline, a lot of tension. Like I love when books go like this, like the whole time.  So that was a really good book for this. And yeah, I really liked it. So I have to go return this to the library now because I had been reciting, I'm making this video. So it's a little bit overdue, but if you are interested in reading the Holly book, I highly recommend it. And if you want to feel like you're not missing something, maybe you should read the book that he wrote before this. I don't even know what it is. I'm being completely honest, but you can still not read that book and read this one and like have a really good time. Like it's a really good book. And I see why Stephen King is like the legend that he is. So yeah, keep watching. If you want to hear about Pineapple Street, make sure you subscribe. I love you guys so so much and I'll see you in the next video.


The international games have been announced for the NFL.  I mean, this is gonna be a very active season with international games. And remember, Jim Hersey was talking on here about expansion. Yeah. Okay, he actually, he wasn't talking directly about the NFL's expansion. He was talking about human expansion in the moon then the Mars. The moon being 208,000 miles away and Mars being. Like 208 million. Miles away. So there's gonna have to be steady growth for expansion. He was making that comparison about the NFL growing worldwide and hopefully creating more money because he and the other owners, I would assume, view it, we're the biggest league in the world and we gross 22 billion a year. Hey, good work. Pretty good. Good work. Amazon grosses $400 billion. There is still money out there to be had. Wake up. That's what Jim Hersey said, not enough money. That's what he actually said on his throne. It was awesome.
