Okay, welcome back to our second lecture for today as we've been looking at crucifying the flesh. The last hour we looked at how we can lay the axe to the root for root of lust and pride. And before we just move into, you know, how is it that we can get rid of this? I think we just have just a couple more of thoughts to bring up before we complete that. Any questions up until now or can I just move into this last part and then we'll look at how we can get away and get rid of these evil desires and lusts. So if not, I'll just move in. Okay. So just to bring about a quick note about what happens or what are the consequences of the lust that there may be. There are many consequences that comes when we engage in lust. One is that the lust in itself is going to minimize or choke the effect of God's word in our lives. As we have seen in Mark 419, Jesus says, the cares of the world, the deceitfulness of riches and the desires of other things will choke the word and it becomes unfruitful. So the word of God that you receive will not produce fruit when lust is engaged in, and there are other things of the world that continues to take precedence and that chokes the word and that brings about negates what the word should be doing in you. The lust also makes us lose our freedom and we become enslaved to the things that we are lusting after and we become slaves to the thing that we are lusting after. Lust also brings a destruction. Like we said, when abstaining from fleshly lust was against the soul, it causes damage. It hurts the soul. When you indulge in things that are fleshly and that are lustful, it takes on your mind. It takes on your concentration, your will, the inability to do anything. It becomes destructive not just to the body but also to the mind that the faculties, the very faculties that you need for your daily functioning becomes affected. So these are some things that I thought we should just have also an understanding. Now what do we do to break free or what do we do to get rid of these works of the flesh and the fruit of the flesh? And I'd like to just take your attention to two scripture passages and if we could take some time to just read it and then we will go through that and probably I'll ask two people to read from there. Let's look at Galatians chapter 5 verses 16 to 18 and then from 22 to 25 Galatians chapter 5 verses 16 to 18 and then 22 to 25. So would someone kindly unmute and read from Galatians 5, 16? Walking in the spirit, 16, I say then walk in the spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh for the flesh lusts against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh and these are contrary to one another. So that you do not do the things that you wish but if you are led by the spirit you are not under the law. From 20 till ma'am? 22 to 25. But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control against such there is no law and those who are in crisis have crucified the flesh with its passion and desires. If we live in the spirit, let us also walk in the spirit. Thank you, Samuel. Would someone also read Romans chapter 8 verses 8 to 13? Romans 8 verse 8 to 13 says, So then those who are in the flesh cannot please God but you are not in the flesh but in the spirit. If indeed the spirit of God dwells in you now if anyone does not have the spirit of Christ he is not his and if Christ is in you the body is dead because of sin but the spirit is life because of righteousness.  Therefore brethren we are debtors not to the flesh to live according to the flesh but if you live according to the flesh you will die. But if by the spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live. Thank you. Thank you Avni. Thank you, Samuel. So when we are looking at these two references it is very clear to see that there are the flesh and the spirit of God they are not in unison together. When you are in the flesh you are not in the spirit. When you are in the spirit you are in the flesh and these verses come about very strongly as we look at it. So a way one thing to do when in order to ensure that we keep away from the works or the fruit of the flesh is only when we live in the spirit when we abide when we walk when we live in the spirit. And these what we read the references we read teach us how to do that so that the fruit of the flesh is something that is eliminated from us especially as believers and we have in place the presence of the spirit which when we continue to live and walk in the spirit we do see that the fruit of the spirit becomes manifest in us who Christ is and the life of Christ the power of Christ becomes operational in us and that's what we see in our lives. So when we live in the spirit we are living in what he gave us when we are born again that is the new creation. When we are the new creation we are born of the spirit and everything becomes of him. So when we now that becomes a truth but we need to be able to walk in that truth when we claim that we live in the spirit we also need to walk in the truth as we saw in Galatians 525 it says if we live in the spirit then that is also walk in the spirit. The word walk is to mean to stand in line without to march towards or going in the same way or keeping the same step as as or walking in line like for example you know when if you remember in kindergarten when you learn to walk in a straight line they will draw the teacher draws a line and you're supposed to walk in that it's like that to be able to walk in this in the spirit is to keep alongside with whatever the Holy Spirit desires of us it is to chart everything our lives our thoughts our passions our desires our will all in step with the Holy Spirit. So walking in the spirit happens only when you live in communion with God in every area or in every realm of our life whether it is something that we say it's what we do it is what we think it is what we desire it is what we envision everything it is to be able to walk in alignment with God and the more that we abide the more that we stand in relating in our relationship with God we keep ourselves open to walking in step with the Holy Spirit. So as we as again you know just bringing back that word the verse in Galatians 516 to 17 it says walk in the spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh so like we said there are two opposing things here there is your fleshly lust and there is there is the work of the Holy Spirit. So while your flesh wants to do things that are absolutely contrary to what the Holy Spirit wants when we choose to live in union with the spirit we do not yield to the sinful desires of the flesh. So as verse 17 says you can see those opposites they are contrary for the fleshly lusts against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh and these are contrary to one another so that you do not do the things that you wish. So walking in the spirit keeps you away from the lust of the flesh you cannot have two feet at two different boats you can't be having your foot in the flesh and your foot in the spirit at the same time either you're here or either you're there okay so and what is it we are called to do it is to be led by the power of the of the Holy Spirit and we see that in verse 18 it says if we are led by the spirit you are not under the law so the reason that we don't engage in things of the flesh is not because of the law but because of our relationship with God because we are led to walk in the power of that of the Holy Spirit we stand in you know it focuses on how the spirit of God gives those of us who are in Christ the power to to live a life in the spirit and it is it is done in love so when so what Paul is revealing here that it is possible for people who are in Christ to allow the Holy Spirit to lead us to win you know that battle over our selfishness and our sinful desires and when we act in the Spirit's power we act we are in in the way crisis we do not like for example when we act in the Spirit's power to love others we we we do as Christ loves us when we do love others in that way we have no need of the law none of its rules and regulations matter because our words our actions our thoughts are born out of our relationship or out of our love for God and and that's what that that's what the verse is meant to meant to mean that when we are not under the law because we don't feel we are to keep the law but we are led by walking in union with the spirit of God the more that we we walk in his spirit the more we do things that are off the law we do things out of our love for God and and all those desires or all those things become purified and that that becomes in line with what God wants us to do so to be led by the spirit is also to walk in the spirit which means that we live in one with the spirit we live in union with the spirit to do all that he wants us and all that he births in us and that's that's the power that he gives us so when we walk in that spirit what happens the fruit is produced so as we if you look at those verses from 19 to 21 it talks of all the work of the flesh so when you when you engage in the work of the flesh those are the fruit of the flesh which we did see last week but when we walk in the spirit when we when we live by the spirit when we are led by the spirit we produce the fruit of the spirit and what is that we see that in Galatians 5 22 25 it's love joy peace patience kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness self-control okay and it says those who are Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires and if we live in the spirit so we also walk in the spirit so the more that we are in step with the spirit living according to his power the the the fruit that comes out is only that of the spirit so if we if you remember last week we did talk about the seeds you know it depends on what seeds you are sowing in and what what is the root that takes that establishes itself so when you continue to stand and walk in the spirit the seeds that are sown inside of you is that the spirit and there that's what bears fruit so if we walk in this spirit you are not fulfilling all those passion or those selfish passions or those desires because it is the Holy Spirit and his power that will help that will empower us to bring down all the passions and the desires so you know think of it this way I know this may not be as effective an example but think of of you being in maybe when you are in like let's say you're watching a movie a good movie let's say a mystery movie when you're watching in it your mind is there you know it is it's all there it's so and and captured by what you are seeing or what you know what you're experiencing that there is no other place for any other thoughts or or or things to do at that point you want to complete that entire movie before you can move on so walking in the spirit is something that to completely encapsulates and empowers you so that you crucify the things of the flesh and that doesn't it it ceases to be important it ceases to take a hold when you are walking and when you are being led in the spirit and you see that you know the same truth of all of this is what you see in Romans 8 what we read Romans 8 to 13 that it says those who are in the flesh cannot please God those but when you are in the spirit the spirit is the one who dwells in you and if anyone is not in the spirit you are not his okay so this the it talks very strongly and it and brings about the truth very strongly that when you walk in the spirit that's what brings the power of God in your life however when we walk in the flesh it separates us from God it brings us to to a place of separation from God so as believers we are to recognize that we that when we when we don't live in the spirit we are living in the flesh so for a believer when we're walking in the spirit it's it's like the body is dead because being in in flesh will lead you to sin okay but when we walk in the spirit there is where we have life and where we have peace so verse 13 it brings about how that if you live according to the flesh you will die so living according to the flesh not only leads to a separation but it also leads to spiritual death and that's what is being referred here you know spiritual spiritual death where a so even if a believer who was saved by God with Christ in him and the spirit dwelling in him if there is continuously a place of living according to the flesh eventually you're moving away from the power of the Holy Spirit and you journey into that spiritual death at some point of time okay so to be able to to um this this can be done only with the help of the Holy Spirit again it says verse 13 it says but if by the spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live so when you walk in the spirit you're bringing a an end to these practices of your body of the flesh and you are you are moving into eternal spiritual life so it is the Holy Spirit that can empower us to put to death to get rid of these sinful deeds of our body so crucifying when we when we are coming to play a place of crucifying our flesh it is something that that really requires an active place of us of um and and we call it something like amputation where you are absolutely cutting off or you are breaking or you are chopping off everything that causes you to sin like in it said in Matthew 5 29 to 30 if it is your right eye that causes you to sin pluck it out and cast it from you so you are cutting off every source uh and everything that causes you to sin because you know scripture says it's profitable for you that one of your members perish than your whole body being cast into hell so if there needs to be an absolute cutting off and this doesn't mean like a little cutting off but you know it could be let's say for those uh for people who who who there is an addiction to alcohol it is maybe keeping away from company that that makes you drink or keeping away from a set of friendships that bring you to a place of sin or um maybe keeping away from the phone or keeping away from using um you know technology in private um and keeping somebody accountable to it so there are many things that can can can be uh painful can be cumbersome but uh we see that the that the Holy Spirit promises to empower us to help us to deal with our weaknesses okay so walking in the spirit is the most important thing to get rid of our fleshly lust and to keep our souls from going into brokenness and going into a place of bondage and a stronghold so moving keeping with the spirit uh walking with the spirit being led by the Holy Spirit is what keeps us away from our fleshly desires okay um in additional a couple more of things is to be able to being rooted in him to being established in the person of Jesus Christ Colossians 2 6 to 7 it says as you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord so walk in him rooted and built in him and established in the faith as you have been taught abounding in it with thanksgiving so when you when you talk about being rooted being established it is to really put your faith and all of that you have deep within uh i don't know if you all have you know when you when you go to the beach and uh if you don't want the waves to pull you down you actually you know kind of root your feet into the sand so much so that you have a pile of sand that is that's got your foot stuck in it so even if the waves are um you know kind of strong and you're at the shore you don't get pushed as easily so you know just a picture like that to know that you need to have your root in him being established it is to it is to get a firm grounding a firm foundation a firm strength a stability in God so you what you're doing is you are planting more of yourself in Jesus and and not in something else not in a church or not in in a you know in a denomination not in a not in a ministry or not in any kind of a doctrine but on the person of Jesus Christ everything that you are learning and and understanding comes because of you firmly rooting yourself uh on him and and you will see that in uh you know as the uh uh the in matthew talks about the wise man and the foolish man how they build their house on sand right of the foolish man builds it on sand and the wise man builds it on the rock the more foundational or the most strong your foundation is uh you understand that you will not be wavered and tempted by things of the world the more that and and i think practically when we look at this how do we practically apply this is um uh i'm i'm sure all of us have faced this you know in a day when we have not been able to spend enough of time in the world and in a time of prayer those days often sometimes to be the ones that become a lot more tricky it becomes very very shaky uh and so when something happens uh you know it's easier to fall than when it is when you have had your time and uh you know your your your good establishing in him so to be to be able to do that or let's look at even even you know as um as families when when there is a rooting in God and in his word no matter what the storm is or whatever the issues are the families as a hold are able to stand strong because of the foundations being strong right but for those maybe families who aren't who who've got it on very slippery ground are often kind of kind of break away so it is so what it says is how do you break out of it is one way is to be able to establish yourself in Jesus establish yourself in the work and in what he has done and not on anything that comes as um uh you know as as adds add-ons like like a church or a denomination or or anything any specific uh teaching or doctrine that comes in another way to severe uh to to cut off this uh uh the sinful uh habits is to cut off any kind of influences ungodly influences and scripture is talks about that of how company can corrupt you can corrupt bad habits and how are uh the way that we choose our relationships needs to be right and uh it is that that that we are careful about who we attach to you know i'm not sure who said it um you know show me your friends and i will tell you who you are i'm not sure who who said that um but uh you know that's that's absolutely true that uh who we hang around with who we tend to build our our affections with really can influence the way that we we live and and the way that we have our passions also going so being careful about who we choose and what we choose and what kind of uh community or a society or uh or friendships we choose now that does not mean you know you shouldn't have friends who aren't believers but um you your love for god your love for god should grow stronger even in the midst of being in the world because the world in itself is like your it's your mission field and you've got to be there and and even you know Jesus said you know while they are in the world pray for the the presence of the holy spirit there so yes we are there we do we do have associates and acquaintances who are um who may not know the world but being careful that we are not in the world um i'm sorry we we we do not work off the world even though we are in the world okay so being able to severe and cut off any kind of influences that uh that could put us back in a place of uh harm or or bring us back to a place of having these selfish desires and lastly is to keep ourselves consecrated to keep ourselves from a place of holiness and uh keeping away from anything that leads us into sin and to removing anything that causes us to sin and dealing with that with absolute firmness and severity so we looked at how we can get rid of these fleshly desires one we said is if we walk in the spirit and we had been led by the spirit the second we said is to um uh is to be able to be rooted in christ in the person of jesus christ the third we spoke about was to cut away all kinds of ungodly influences and the fourth is to remain consecrated to remain holy um by by keeping ourselves and in um you know uh meditating renewed by the word of god as well as uh being led by the presence of the holy spirit okay uh i'm i'm done today and i just want to open this for any questions or any observations or any thoughts that you would have yes samu please go ahead so so i think um so person when does um a passion or a good thing become less like um i'm reminded of this there is this phrase that keeps repeating it's uh be obsessed or be average so there's there's this i think it's someone dull dalke someone wrote this book but it's it's about uh it speaks to you know if you want to excel at something whether it's music or some sports or even writing or anything uh you know you need i mean and people who generally are very good at something have kind of been obsessed with that thing whether it's you know playing a guitar or or mastering yoga or anything so so as believers um you know when we live in the world and definitely you know things sometimes speak to our interest some of us you know it could be gymming bodybuilding some of us could be a music instrument sports um and and you just get pulled into it so it's not necessarily a bad thing like you know like if you are being pulled towards pornography or alcohol you know like that that they are very big red flags and so chances of getting into that is i think not getting into that is bigger like because you know you're you know you're the bible the word of thought doesn't allow that but in other engagements you want to excel at work or some of us get drawn towards technology and we just end up spending hours and hours researching talking about that and it almost becomes like an alternate identity you know like okay so sam you know excel so he is like you he just loves excel sheets and every time you speak to him sooner or later he'll bring up a topic about excel sheets and so something like that may become like so so so it is like your passion your interest kind of occupies your mind to a great extent this so is that a borderline law maybe you know you just spend say an hour or two reading the word of god and praying and your spiritual walk you know is is okay i mean i don't know it's good but it's it's there but at the same time because of your obsession with this other thing you're spending like maybe five or six hours a day some of us it could even be our family's kids so so something which seems healthy but could it be a lust in disguise i think that's my question hmm yeah i i think you know as even as you were talking i was looking at the example of healthy eating even you know the way that it turns every meal like turns into something that is made healthily so there's so much of focus and time and concentration that's put into preparing something that is healthy okay so i i think some of the distinguishing features one is how much the the i think one of the things i'd like to bring up out is the intent the motivation behind the passion so yes it is to eat healthy which is a good thing but does it consume you in everything that you do let's say conversations with other people the dinner table conversations you know kitchen routines even does it does it take on largely things even maybe your workspace what has what is it what not just the motivation but what drives this how much does it get what is it that's driving the need to do this i think is is something that we need to determine like we said these are very probably quite subtle in itself but if there is uh if there is a inclination to knowing that you can work out a meal prep all by yourself because you have done a b c d e f g things and not being thankful for the fact that you know gods provided it and that if it moves into that the inclination moving into into this is something that is all left up to me to do that only if i take these efforts and study this for the next five six hours or you know make mistakes in these meal preparations or in in whatever what whatever the issue may be then it tends to become a night let's say like you said bodybuilding if every activity in the day is geared towards towards that that means it's occupied a large part of your mind it's bought about that desire to to look good or desire to eat well or desire to you know to ensure that others also catch on to the to the goal or to the to the aim of eating healthy or or bodybuilding so so what does it how does it occupy your mind and if that's all that is if there is a large portion of things that occupy your mind rather than god and the things of god then i would call that a fleshly passion something that you are so passionate about that it's become like a a fleshly motive or a fleshly purpose that keeps you away from actually fulfilling maybe the purpose of god and i would say that even in with things like let's say ministry right the focus becomes on on enhancing a specific ministry and doing the best way to work it or let's say even maybe a church you know the the church should how is it that we can bring people so much so that the focus is lost on on the person of jesus and your relationship with him so anything that takes away that if that limelight leaves jesus and his work and what he can do in you move to something that you should be driving in order to get things going then i think that that becomes very clearly a fleshly desire or a fleshly passion it becomes your own agenda that becomes your own agenda and if there isn't an alignment with what god's purpose and agenda is for you and you're taking too much of time on to something else that may not even be a plan and purpose for you for that god would want you to pursue but something that's coming out of your own hobby or your own interest or something that you desire to do then that that definitely takes on it you've placed yourself at the throne room right and not what god would desire of you so then i would say yes that's what becomes a fleshly desire again if you know and and i believe that you know there are times that the the spirit of god will nudge and will prompt us in our spirits to show us how much is too much you know even when you're watching something you know maybe netflix or something too much of it the spirit of god will nudge and prompt you you know that's enough you know move on to something else or move on to you know getting your work done or spending time with me there will be the nudge that comes in but when you ignore that nudge ignore the prompting of the Holy Spirit is when you begin to see that you are desiring something within something that you do is interesting and good for you that that you feel is good for you that you continue to engage in and i think those are pretty fine lines in itself but i'd say these are some of the distinguishing factors that are there um it's helpful pastor so i'm taking away one is intent what intent is causing the drive and then god being the focal point you know god being present in the throne and not something else and and the conviction of the Holy Spirit like ignoring that consciously ignoring that i think these are really helpful pointers i i did have another question which is i think the opposite which is you know you want to so in in your effort to overcome the world the flesh you know you move to the other extreme borderline self-flagulation where you know you know you want to like like you know be just it's all about yourself yeah you don't want to you know you go for unreasonable amount of fasting to you know spending time like everything else is is not even a priority like it's not even a second priority so where the the focal the intent is still you know you want to know god personally and experience him and and you might call it traveling and and things like that you know but but your intent everything is in place um would would that be a danger of uh i don't know but i even feels weird to say last but you know but where it's it's so much so that you're almost like a hermit now so uh it's okay so i don't know if i'm going to be able to be able to well answer that but that becomes more again works without without faith right you i think that would be that you intend that all your fasting all your praying all your um all the right things that you are doing is something that brings you closer to your relationship with god so it it focuses more on works and that's where that needs to be a balance you're just not the hearer but you're supposed to be a doer you need to be both and so i'm wondering if that borders on into that when again the reliance will be a dependence is a lot more on what you do in order to build your relationship with god and not just the freedom of receiving uh in faith all that god has graciously given us i'm wondering if that moves into that and it becomes a lot again it it becomes i don't know it may not be lasting i'm not sure if that's that's the right word to use but it becomes definitely a focus on on self driving something of yourself to attain that relationship whereas you know we know that by grace it has already been given to us we just walk in the freedom of doing it and not being so um held by the by the by the the works of it and that also i would say i i mean i'm i'm supposing would be some this sin in itself that that we rely a lot on just the works yeah i think that's the best way i can answer if anyone else has a has a uh you know insight or thoughts on it to be great harrison i think you've raised your hand is there is it uh to share what you what you're saying um i have a question okay yeah um i heard you saying some few things in a way god you know can tell you need to take a pause and then pay attention to me okay do you can hear me yeah yeah i can i can okay um the question i want to ask now is it possible for god to like um you know tell someone to take a pause maybe in business or maybe in studies and just pay attention to him in a sense that okay you just um like you know let go of everything maybe let go of business or something like that you know to just you know focus on him completely because for me right you know let me just say for my kind of person i feel like okay i want to walk or maybe possibly do a business while i do ministry but you know giving my whole time you know maybe paying attention fully to ministry you know for me something that you know a bit um well i see i'm comfortable for me because one is that i don't want to like you know start dwelling you know on people you know to take care of my family or whatever it could be but rather i want to see how i can um i'm like you know maybe walk or possibly do a business while i'm also doing ministry because i've seen cases you know where you know most you know ministers or most pastors you know will end up you know maybe like you know focusing so much on giving and paying this or paying that you know just to see that um they have something in their pocket and for me it's more like you know we now drive the attention you know we now move the focus you know from the main course you know to our own individual target or individual pursuit so for me right now i want to find out is it um is this something that god you know permit you know to permit or say okay i want you to take a pause on all these things and pay attention you know to me completely because when i look at the case of paul paul was still having a business yeah and why is he doing ministry and i remember that even when at the at the end part of his ministry he said if there's anything i've taken from anyone forcefully or have you know done this or have done that you know please you know you tell me so that i can reformed or return it back to you so in this in this aspect now i want to know if it is something that maybe as a pastor as a minister evangelist or a teacher that you know will let go of everything that we are doing or business or work and just face mystery completely thank you so um i don't i'm i may not think that there is a general answer to that question however it is something that is very specific to each of us as individuals and to what god has called each one of us to do um so there is there are certain giftings that god has put in each of our lives and in each of our hearts and how we and it is important that we use these giftings or these talents that he's given us for his glory and for things that will extend his kingdom and yes there is also ministry that may come now when you can define ministry two ways where you see your your very workplace wherever that may be maybe or maybe your business your a school a hospital and an institution or any any place that you are in is also a place that you are called to be a minister and also of course ministering to a body of believers or running a church so so this is how you know i'm just broadly classifying it for our understanding uh so there is a general purpose that god has for each one of us is to is to be a minister of god to be able to bring people to christ to live a life that is holy and and uh acceptable in his side now that's something that we are all called to do we are called to make disciples now does that mean everybody moves out to work in only in ministry no and that's where the specific call of god comes that with the talents with the skill that god has put you in or at the place that he's put you in he wants you to minister to that environment or that that milieu that you are in and that again is something i think is a very specific call uh so i'll personally you know to maybe just to personally share my own story i knew from from many years that god has called me to be an encourager of of people um and especially through you know through counseling however there are other gifts that god has put in my heart maybe um one of being a teacher one of uh one of um of being the um you know a teacher of the word also uh however so now looking at the kind of roles that i play i i know deep within my heart and something that you know that keeps getting confirmed every day is that god has called me to encourage and be with people in pain um and that's what so would would uh does god want me to be a minister yes he would he wants me to be a minister to to both people those who may be believers in in running a church but also to those who are outside so if i were to look at it my influence has been larger among a non-believing community than it is to a believing community because of the kind of work that i do outside of a ministry setting i i also minister to people outside of of the christian faith so i i personally think that it is a specific calling to each one and what god wants you to do at that point of time so and there may be seasons in your um in your in your life also that god would want you to focus on on something that is specific like i remember when i was a young mother i was very clear that i did not want to take up anything seriously with with either with ministry or or you know working working outside because i knew that my it was that season where i had to be there for my children in there growing up in in building them and establishing them as you know spiritually as well as as individuals so that those initial years was something that i was very clear that i felt god led me into not getting into something that was like a full time but then as they grew you know god bought about another season where i moved from from that that place of being a stay stay in mom a home home maker to working out you know partly into ministry partly into into doing outside that outside the skill that god has given me so i think it's it's something that um harrison that you know you would need to seek god to find out what is his plan and his will and his purpose for you um and it may not be fitting to give you an answer saying that yes you know if that is what it is you should do it and that that's how it should it should be like like you said so rightly when you look at scripture the best example we have is about paul where he was a tent maker yet there was there was also something that he was doing parallel and that's something that you know god had called him to do however you you may have um you know other people i'm trying to think of others in in scripture that i'm not able to bring out any other example where they were completely ministering and they were not part of uh uh part of i think probably timothy but i'm not too sure again but these are specific plans and purposes that god will reveal to you as you seek him thank you yeah thank you harrison thank you uh i think we'll close um we're way up above time let's close with the word of prayer may i request someone to please close in prayer mangy would you please um pray um it'll be if you could close with the word of prayer mangy if you're there thank you okay let's pray you have any father you know our hard slot you know challenges and you know things that hinder the slots you fulfill your workload the mandate that you've given us a lot on this planet we pray for that you you will work in our slot you you will root out any roots that's any root of evil or any root of of lust any root of envy any root of how any ungodly desire lost whether we pray just that you sanctify us lord we leave ourselves in your hand lord do with us as you please lord lead us where you want us to go and let us only work in your way lord because we know that you go before us and you never lead us where you don't go where you don't want us to go lord and you'll not you'll not let us do what you don't ask you don't want us to do jesus we thank you father we pray for that you do with us lord and let your holy spirit lord continue to work in us jesus in your mighty name lord we pray amen thank you pastor amen thank you thank you mangi thank you everybody we'll meet again next week god bless thank you thank you


Speaking of which, this is actually a great stage to get a possible Baroli animation on. Obviously, I don't think you need this stage, but this would be canon. Oh, no way! How's it going, everybody? Dot to the way here back with something brand new to the channel. And as you can see on your screen right now, this is going to be a good one. We are going to be stepping in to the world of Dragon Ball Legends to try and summon the character of UI Goku. Now, if you aren't completely aware of what's going on, basically, Dragon Ball Legends is my favorite Dragon Ball mobile game and it has entered one of its biggest events of its entire lifespan. That, of course, being a chance to unlock the character of UI Goku and Jiren. Now, the way getting characters works in a game like this is that you have your currency. You can see this up on the top right of my screen here. And going through some of these steps, you can see I can spend a different amount of currency to get different chances to unlock the character. So, basically, the goal of this video is to click this button, spin the wheel, and hope it lands on UI Goku or Jiren. The chances of getting either of these two characters are actually pretty low, considering there's a ton of other characters on the list or banner right now. But the reason I'm so excited is these characters are insane looking. UI Goku, I mean, let's just look at this legendary finish, which is basically this game's version of a dramatic finish. It is just insanely high quality for this game. And he does the little roll on Kepler. Look at him approaching. Ooh, yeah, see, I need that. I need to hit somebody online with that. And the reason I watch Jiren is much simpler. He actually has the exact same counter and fighters so he can spin people. And you know, I got to do that as well. But yeah, that about sums up everything we need to talk about before we actually get into the meat of this video. If you do end up enjoying this Dragon Ball Legend summoning, I don't think this is going to be a mainstay on the channel or something that happens super frequently. But if you would like to potentially see this in the future, let me know down below by leaving a like or just by leaving a comment. And hopefully we do end up getting something we like here. But the time has come. I need to go ahead and summon these units.  The crystals. So this is going to be pretty good. And we get different animations that indicate how good our summon is going to be. So a couple of pods that really doesn't tell us much. Oh, we're getting a new character. This was not planned. I was not ready for this. But Bardock, the father son beam. Let's go. This means we're getting a new kit. Wait, are we going to get UI Goku on the first go around? Are we going to get Jiren on the first go around? There's no way. Toppo, oh, that's probably the new character. But man, I forgot he was on this banner. That's right. Toppo and Dispo are also on here. So the pride troopers are making that. Wow. Three characters that we already got Dispo. What is this? A ticket? Get this out of my face. So we already got one of the characters. Let's go ahead and take a look at Toppo. Hey, looking good. All right, let's back out. I don't need to see Toppo anymore. But I do need to see is the next step of this summon. I need Jiren or UI Goku. Let's start with Jiren. Let's not aim too high. Clear skies. Don't call me a weather forecaster. I wonder if, man, the best animation I think you can get in this game is technically a DBS Broly animation. But that is also very rare and indicates you're getting an LF. Oh, yeah. See, I talked about it because I somewhat expected we might get one, but doesn't look like we're actually going to get an EX. Who is this? Hyper Medarill, though? Yeah. I don't even know who that is, bro. Trunks. Now that's a character I know. Trunks bring me something good. Burder. I'm going to be honest, Burder, not exactly what I'm looking for. Hey, Super Saiyan 2 Goku. I actually didn't have that card, apparently. I wouldn't have known it, but that's the end of the summons. So at least we got one new character. Two stars. I don't even know what team that guy's on. All right. The third step starts now. Oh, Nimbus. Oh, Trunks. That means we're going to get a new character. Why did the Nimbus fly by if Trunks was going to do it himself? Oh, his dad's also here. I think that's always a part of it. Dang. Frieza just can't catch a break today. My summons are going to, please don't be Toppo again. Please don't be Toppo again. Dispo. I'll take it. I'll take Dispo. That's another pride trooper for the collection, of course. I wouldn't be mad if we also get a Jiren. Nope, not Jiren. Hey, you can't blame me for trying, man. I'm just trying to manifest Jiren Raditz. Big fan, big fan. Piccolo again. A lot of Piccolas in the summons. Shugesh. I didn't have Shugesh either. Man, my account is trash. Krillin, bring me something good. Another Krillin. I can't be upset, I guess. Rukum. And that is it for that. Yeah, I can't complain. We got another one of the new characters. Dispo's pretty sick. Damn, look at him going up against Hit in there. Why is he about to sock Hit like that? Did Dispo and Hit fight in the anime? Oh yeah, they did. Okay, I remember.  I remember now. That was a pretty big moment, actually. For some reason, all I remember about Hit is that he kind of got washed by Jiren, but asked to be expected. Wow, nothing going on in this animation. This is what you would describe as not a good look. Okay, we're trading blows. No tech. Oh, Super Saiyan. Freeza better watch out. Push through. Push through, Goku. Ah, not gonna happen. Well, doesn't mean we won't get anything, but definitely not looking good for us. Oh, painful, dude. We're going through these crystals like nothing. All right, thankfully we have reached step five, which means new character rates times two. That hopefully will increase our chances of getting a new character here. So that is a Jiren, UI, Goku, I believe, Ispo, Topo, something along the lines of that. We have a much higher chance to get it here, but I just got to hope at this point. Give me a good animation, Legends. That's all I want. That's all I need. I need a good animation. All right, not looking good. Weather forecast would say that these are clear skies. I've never seen clear trading blows again. Man, this is looking very familiar. Oh, it's actually worse than last time. Goku, if you want to surprise me, do it now. Felt that. Felt that. Oh, this one's not going to be good, is it? This one's not going to be very good. I don't know why, but I don't think we're getting a new- Wait, whoa! Out of nowhere! Who is that? Whoa, Blue Vegeta? I didn't have that? Where did you come from? I don't get me wrong. I appreciate it, but I did not have that care. I wasn't even looking for him. I didn't even know he was on the banner. I'll take it though. Blue Vegeta has been acquired. Is that going to be it for the rest of this one? Probably. We got a surprise sparking character. I wouldn't expect anything else. Yep. Yeah, we got nothing. All right, so we're moving on to step six out of seven. This is the second to last step. It is looking better than our previous animations, though I will say. Woo! Duck that, Goku! Duck and punish! If we can just get rid of Frieza right now, Super Saiyan. He's gone. That means we're getting a sparking. Frieza can't put up a fight. We traded with Frieza one too many times. Who's it going to be? Who's it going to be? Goldo. Not in the mood. Oh, I thought that was going to break. Fasha, man, I'm putting together the whole Bardock squad today. Vegeta, we already got the blue version. We don't need base. Oh, Han. Jiren hates. I didn't have him either, man. I don't have a lot of the characters on here. That's actually not good for me. I'm going to see that new character logo pop up, and I'm just going to lose it every time. And we get another one. Can we make it a two for one special? No. It should just hit, which I shouldn't be thankful for. And I am, but also that's not Jiren. I need Jiren. I want to see that counter. I need to flip my opponents. All right, let's go ahead and the seventh one, the free step. I don't have to spend anything on this one. This one's just a free handout. Now I'm going to be honest. Usually they don't exactly treat you well on the free one. At least with my luck. They're like, hey, bro, if you're not, if you're not going to use those crystals, you grind. Yeah, look at me trading blows with Frieza again. Yeah, it's a freebie. They know I didn't grind for these. That's crazy.  Help me out. We got destroyed on that one. Absolutely destroyed. Luckily, I don't think it makes us go back to step one. Yeah, no, we're good. We get to start on step three, which will be good for us. We're getting tickets, meanwhile, the whole time, which means that we're constantly building up to a guaranteed sparking unit. Now it's not guaranteed to be a good one. Three pods again. Come on, treat me to something nice. This will, this will, when I spend grinding crystals. Yeah. See, you know, the second I mentioned that these were real, these are real summons. Legends were like, all right, bro, we got you. Frieza is actually going to fight back. Goku do something. No, Goku, don't do this. Goku, go ahead and put this one in the trash. That one was bad. Another three pods. You would think they didn't. They took out the animations in the game. We saw a few, we're missing again. Frieza is built tough in this universe. It's going to be a battle this time. It's going to be a battle. Give me something extra. Again, brutal. This might be the worst luck I've ever had in this game. We actually got a few decent sparkings at the beginning, but the later half of this has just been atrocious. This has been a beat down. Look at this. Pure evil. Yep. I can, I can attest to that. Another one for the trash. Another one for the trash. This is the one I needed. Step six, after we threw that last one in the trash, this is looking good. We're living in space and Frieza can't even stop us. I am feeling so good right now. Gold, this is, this is like every guaranteed sparking trick in the book. And we're still going to die? No, we're not going to die this time, right? Weece. Wait, what does weece mean again? Doesn't, isn't that really good? Rewinding time.  This, you would think this is poetic poll. Oh, come here, Frieza. I need to talk to you. I need to talk to you. What does this mean? Is this only sparking guaranteed, or is this like a banner unit? Is this going to be really good? I like that card. That card is new. I think that got added in this update. Hero Pan. This card brings the best luck. I'm counting on you, I'm counting on that Pan card. Bring me luck. This whole thing can be saved by Jiren or UI. You know what, give me, who's it going to be? Not you, Vegeta. No, no, please don't tell me that was it, Vegeta. You can't do, no, you can't do this. Kefla, I don't have either. No, no, it was a, it was a Kefla, Vegeta, Blue Bait. Oh man, both of those are good obviously. But man, were we really hoping for that Jiren or UI? Why are they avoiding us? Goku, Jiren, I'ma really need you guys to come through for me right now. Really, I'ma really need you to come through. So come on, let's get it on this step. Right here, right now. I'm feeling, I don't know why, but my confidence is through the roof right now. And it was for good reason. Boom, Super Saiyan. I'm mad now, Frieza. I am mad now. Oh, we're trading, trading evenly. That's never a good sign. Golden text. Come on. Go, oh, I can't believe it. We got another good summon animation. We're back on the market. Hey, I know I talked to Goku and Jiren before. I hopefully they got the message. A thousand? I didn't even know that was his name. There he is again. Please. Yes! See, I knew if I talked to these guys, they would come through Jiren. Let's go. I knew my man would come through in the clutch. Now all we need is UI Goku. No way. Wow, I forgot this character was a sparking rarity. Wow, I got hyped up there. I thought that was gonna be UI Goku. Still though, we did it. We got Jiren. This character is so sick, dude. I can finally hit that spin counter on people. Yes. Man, that card looks really good. All right. I think we all know that the only character left now is UI Goku. This is our last normal summon. We do have the ticket, so this isn't our last last chance, but this is our last step up summon. I believe, I believe in UI Goku. Of course he's gonna wait until the final minute to make his appearance. It's not over. I believe. I can't believe it. This, there's no way. The chance is so low, but the text is gold. The text never lies and Frieza can't even fight. I don't know, guys. I'm trying not to get overhyped. Come on. It's gotta be something. It's gotta be at least something. I'm hoping it's not a topo or a dispo at the, at the least. Another Jiren would be okay. And I told you the pan that card brings luck. Raccoon. No. No, that's an LF. That, that is a card on the level of UI Goku, but it's just not Dispo. Why Dispo? Oh my heart. Oh my heart on the rebound. Vegeta blue. That is an LF, which means a legendary Finnish character. So he is on the level of UI Goku, but unfortunately that was just not UI Goku. And now we have actually entered the final hope for UI Goku, the guaranteed sparking portion of the banner. Legend sign of Ultra Instinct. This is our last chance. UI Goku is looking at us right there taunting us. Look at that gaze, bro. Come on. I need this. I genuinely need this. Who's it gonna be? Popo again. Still got two more of these, two more ticket summons. Whoa, I definitely didn't know this character was in the game. Who's it gonna be the final character? Oh, it's Goku, but not the one I thought. All right, so here's what we're not gonna do. We're not gonna go out on that.  I need to get at least to the second ticket summon. That's a good anime. You love to see the cloud fly by. Speaking of which, this is actually a great stage to get a possible Broly animation on. Obviously, I don't think you need this stage, but this would be canon. No way. I was kidding. Broly, dodge that. I need your help, but we need a fuse right now. Speaking of canon, let me just go ahead and get rid of that notion, because we are fusing it to Vegeta. Unreal Vegeta blue. Let's go. This could be a lot of things. There's other LFs on the banner. We saw the Vegeta before kicked out of the way, but you are Goku's one of them. Will it be him? There's other characters to go through. I'm actually speechless. I can't. I don't know what it's going to be. If it's you, I go cool. I'm screaming. So get ready for that. If it's you, I go cool. I'm screaming. There's no way, dude. On the bounce back, there's zero way. It actually is you, I go cool. Ribri and new. There's zero chance. There's zero chance. I just, I just didn't know it. You're probably wondering how I got here out of Corona crystals. And the only way to turn is my last ticket summon. That was the definition of heartbreaking. Oh man, Vegeta popping up on my screen. I don't, I did not need to see that, dude. As soon as I saw that pose, I was like, no way. Him again. Don't get Frieza gets punished as normal. We've seen this one a lot. All right, Frieza, get out of my way. Yep. Just go ahead, pass out. Nothing too fancy. I'll see you later, Frieza. Jiren, the best I can hope for is Jiren at this point. I can't believe it. Just when I had given up hope right when I had to, I was done emotionally eviscerated. That's so awesome.  So we did it. We pulled everything from the banner. Hopefully you guys enjoyed this. If you did, let me know down below the comment section while you're down there. Let me know your favorite moment from the video. And if you play legends, what you pulled from the banner.  I actually can't, I thought this was going to end with like a sad ending, but no, we pulled it out. So again, if you want to watch any more videos, there should be some on your screen, other than that, I have been Dr. Doia, and I will see you in the next one.


Welcome to the show! We're here and we're ready for JP's product pick of the week. It's a Tuesday, so that's what that means. And hello to everyone who has bopped on over to the YouTube and is feeling that beat. Can you dance to it? I think you can dance to it. And hello to everyone in the Discord. If you're wondering where our chat is, if you're watching on one of the other services, head on over to Discord. It's the Adafruit Discord server. Adafruit.it slash Discord is how you can get there, and it's over in the live broadcast chat channel. That's where it's happening. So let's get on with it, shall we? First of all, I want to point you somewhere, and that's right here. This is the URL that's going to get you to the 50% off on this week's item. It'll also give you a bit of a spoiler as to what that is. So head on over there, and you will see that this video is playing inside of the product, so you can watch it right from within there if you like to do that. If not, watch it wherever you like. That's fine. We're not picky. And let's see. Thank you, C Grover, for checking the mic level. Looks like we're good. I'm also going to be mixing in some sound later, so we'll keep our ears peeled for that with a second input that has to do with today's product pick. So head on over there to that URL, and you will be ready to purchase, hopefully, that's what helps keep our lights on here at Adafruit, is that you buy some cool stuff. But what I want to do next is jump back in time to when this product was first introduced, and we're going to have Lady Ada give us a little bit of an intro. So take it away, Lady Ada. This is the DRV 2605. This is a haptic motor driver. It drives a vibration motor, and it has effects built into it. It has about 100 different effects, like double click and pulse on and off, and ramp up and ramp down, and all these different effects, and sign you soil, and it can also take audio and turn that into an audio-to-vibration effect board. And you use the iSquared C, and you can basically, instead of you having to deal with having a motor driver, because these motors still need motor drivers, it's kind of a motor driver controller library all-in-one chip. It's got an all-in-one chip that sort of does everything.  Not yet. Not yet. Chrome version 50 has phyllo vision. It's a beta. So I can kind of make it like vibrate. I can hear it. Yeah, maybe I'll put it up to my mic. So you can hear it's kind of... Yeah. It's going to look kind of... So that's like... So it's vibrating up and then clicking. So you can tile together a bunch of different effects, and it will go through the effects in order as you want. You can do like a lot of different weird stuff. So you can do like handheld games, or it's used in phones, or tablets, or whatever. That is kind of an interesting chip, because it does something that I've never seen another chip do. You are motor drivers, and you could kind of do this on your own, but this chip like does it all for you. It's very nice, very fancy chip. Yes, indeed it is very nice. It is a very fancy chip. So much so that I'm going to head back there to my cabinet of wonder drawers and go grab one for myself so that we can have a little bit of a demo. I'll be right back. Hey, check it out. It is the product pick of the week. It is the haptic motor controller board. And this is the DRV 2506L. It has everything you need to drive small haptic feedback motors. So I love haptics. I love being able to feel stuff reacting. When I touch it, particularly phones, tablets, game controllers, if you're doing things with capacitive touch, you have no feedback usually, right? There's no actual physical button to press. This may be the answer for you. You can hook this up to small little motors designed for this. It's essentially like pager motors. And it will spin the motor for you. And it will spin it not just on or off or at different speeds, but using a library of 100 different wave forms so that you can get different feels. You can get ramping up effects, ramping down effects, quiet little hums, hard ticks, clicks, buzzes, triple clicks, double clicks, all those kinds of things. Let's take a look, in fact, at the page for this next thing. Let me jump over here. Hey, there we are. So this is the page. I'm going to go ahead and refresh this, because we've got 50% off. So you'll see this is $3.98 US right now, if you want to go and grab one or up to 10 of them. This tells you a little bit of info about the motor. It is controlled over I squared C. So this has your voltage ground, the serial data, serial clock. And it also has the ability to ignore or not require microcontrollers, but instead can bring in an audio waveform, and then it'll actually translate that into the haptics. I haven't tried it that way, but I have tried it with a typical LRA, or linear resonance actuator, which is this kind of little vibrating mini motor. We sell these for $1.95. So this is the kind of motor you want to try with this. You might have luck with other pager motors that you have around. And if you take a look at the Learn Guide page for this, you'll get some more info about it. You'll get the pinout for it. And you can see there those nice two big pads there that you can solder to. You can through hole or even just surface mount solder your wires for your motor there. And one thing I'll warn you, this is something that happened to me as well as to Carter, is if you're not careful, you can vibrate the wires right off the motor. So usually when you're testing these, you'll solder it to the board, and you'll leave your motor on your desk kind of banging against things so you can hear it while you're coding. It'll shake the wires right off. They're tiny little wires, and you can break those. You do want to either mount the motor, which is what it's meant to do. It actually has a little bit of a foam double stick adhesive on the back so you can stick it to something. That's the ideal. Or at least clamp it down or use some tape or some hot glue to add a little bit of strain relief to the wires. And this will show you actually on this assembly step here how to prep the board and attach the motor. Here's an example here, a couple pages with the motor connected. And then we've got info about the library that you can use to code it in Arduino, as well as in circuit Python or Python. And there is a link in here to this Waveform effect list. So that's one of the coolest things. You don't actually have to worry about this stuff on the microcontroller board. Instead, you can just, with our code, and I'll show you what that looks like in a minute, say to it, please grab effect 18. And it'll just grab number 18 from this list, which is strong click 2 at 80%. And you can even build up a little list of these effects. There's a sequence, a little eight slot sequence, where you can have it do back to back to back. It'll play each one in a row. And then you hit the play command. And the nice thing about that is it is non-blocking. So you can hit play and then do other things, like check for buttons. And it'll just be playing these effects for you in the background, essentially. So this is the datasheet for the chip. It tells you all of the, what is it, 123 of these. I'll tell you what, number 118, that's the one that'll rip the wires right off your motor. It's the long buzz for programmatic stopping. I don't know what they mean by that, but that's the one that goes really, it shakes the heck out of the thing. And it goes for quite a long time. It's like 10 seconds of that. So let's get to a demo, shall we? I'm going to jump to how about this view here. So you can see I've got the DRV 2605L here. It's connected over I squared C to a QT pi. And then I have my little motor there is actually stuck down to a piezo buzzer. And that's so that you can hear it as well. I'm going to turn up this other level. Let me know if it's too loud. What happens is when I press buttons on the Wii, or this is the Wii Classic controller that I have plugged in also over the Nunchuck accessories, when I press buttons on this, I'm calling different effects. So you should be able to hear those. And I'm going to stop a second and check the chat once that catches up and tell me if you can hear those and if you can still hear me. That might be crazy loud. So I can mix those down a little bit. Those seem like they're quite loud. That's still pretty loud. All right. All right. Yeah, OK, and I think you can still hear me. Yes? All right, I'm going to wait for confirmation there. Just checking the chat. Hey, Davey B, this looks useful. Yeah, it's a really useful little gizmo. Audio's fine. Great, thank you. OK, so check this out. I've got the, I'm going to say this again just to make my little editing life easier later. So I've got the DRV2605L connected over I squared C to my QDPI RP2040. It's being sent commands to run different haptic waveforms when I press the different buttons of this Wii classic controller. It's also plugged in using StemAQT and a Nunchuck adapter board. They're my little motor. I've actually stuck it with some Blu-Tac onto a piezo pickup so that I can amplify it so you can hear it. So check this out. There's a couple of different. There's a 60% and an 80% buzz. Here's a click, different click. So these all feel really different when you have them connected to your controller. You can tell what's going on. In fact, check out this one. This one's really cool. This is a ramp down. And here's the ramp up. There's a triple click. There's just a big buzz. So all of the different things that you do on your device, be it capacitive touch, be it real buttons, be it some sort of controller like this, you can have the user feel them, which is really cool. Let's take a look now at how this is coded. I'm going to jump to a Adam view of the world. Is that not showing up? Uh-oh. Let's see. I might have some gymnastics to do here. Oh, yeah, there it is. OK. Let's bring me back up there. OK. So in the code here, the way this works, I'm importing a bunch of libraries, including the DRV2605 library, setting it up on the I squared C bus, and then I'm setting up this object called drive, which is Adafruit DRV2605 over I squared C. Then I've created a little function here called haptic. And what I feed to it is an effect number. So that's one of the 120 or so effects that are on the chip built right onto it, as well as the name. I wanted to be able to see this inside of my little ripple here. So let me open this up with screen. Up, dev, tty, usb. OK. So when I press a button, it's going to play that effect. I'm actually not debouncing it, so it's actually clicking a bunch of times. Let me hide that. Like a little less confusing. OK. So I press button A. I get effect 14, which is called strong buzz 100%. Here's B, which is just a little click at 100%. Here's that ramp down long, smooth. And there's the ramp up. OK. So looking at the code, what my little function does there is it prints out the name of the effect and its number.  So you can put pauses between them if you build up a longer effect. And then I run this play command, drv play. That's it. That's all it takes. So then you can imagine when I'm hitting the different buttons on the controller, I'm just calling that function with different numbers and names, which are what I'm feeding into it. So those are just some of the effects that you can go through and try these out easily. We also have some demo code with the library that allows you to just let them play back to back to back to back. You can check out the whole thing. And you'll see the numbers being printed out so you can decide if you'd like one. It's a really quick way to preview these. So that is the basic functionality of it. Obviously, I'm not feeling it now because I've just got it connected to here. I can probably touch it. Yeah, I'm increasing the noise by a lot by touching that. But it's a really effective technique when you have that stuck nicely to an object that you're using as a controller. So let's see, that is our product pick of the week. There it is right there. That's it. It's the DRV2605. It's half off right now during the show. So if you want it to get one or up to 10 of them, throw it in your cart. The way I've got this set up, by the way, I have spliced in. Let me go to turn that volume down because I'm going to touch that controller. The way I've got that connected, I'll just hold this up, in fact. Just because I like the way that all of the StemAQT allows us to work, I've got the StemAQT going over, or sorry, rather, I've got the QT Pi going over USB to my computer. And then I've got the StemAQT out going to the Nunchuck controller. And I've got my little Wii classic controller plugged into that. And then I have that StemAQT going into the driver board for the haptics, and then the motor soldered onto there with a little bit of tape for strain relief. So that is going to do it. Let me know if you've got any questions over in the Discord. Let's have a look at the Discord for a second here. I'm having troubles typing in it without big lags. So Dr. Seuss is going to put one in a phone case. That's perfect, yeah. So this is definitely similar to the, I mean, these driver chips exist in a lot of phones and other handheld devices. It's kind of the ideal use for them. And this breakout board lets you try that out. So I think that's going to do it. Let me grab one here. And we can wrap it up. Let's see. Put that away there. I'm going to attach this to a something I can stick that to. Sort of stick that to the pegboard there with. Hold on while I have one of these little LEGO, or these little 3D printed tags that I made. There's one. All right. So that's the product pick of the week this week. It is the DRV 2605L. It is a haptic motor controller. And that's going to do it. So thanks, everyone, for stopping by over in the chat. Hi, Red Shepherd. Hi, Ekber, Pat Riley, Tackle the World, and Reid, David Glaude. Nice to see everyone over there in the YouTube chat.

I fought the change initially as they said do you want to play a line?  It was definitely a whole new ballgame You know, I wasn't really used to having a strong of a basis.
