Sorry, just before we start, I wanted to read from Romans 8 and Romans 8 and 6, 6 and 7, but also Romans 13, 8 and 13, right? 8, 6, 7 and 13, fought to be carnally minded as death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnally mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. Verse 13, 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 for as many are led, as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. So I just wanted to focus on, of course, we've been looking at how to be carnally minded brings about death, how it is not subject, it's not obedient to the law of God, it's not submitted to the law of God and all that. But I just want us to focus on the fact that to be spiritually minded is life and peace. So I'll be, we've been looking at, okay, this is what it, you know, it is exactly the opposite of a carnally mind, a spiritually mind. A spiritually mind assures in life and peace, you know. So I just want us to focus on that. So because to be spiritually minded is to have life and is have the peace of God all the time, how can I be spiritually minded? And also to really renew our, I should say that how we can be renewed in our effort to be spiritually minded, renewed in our fervour to be spiritually minded, to constantly be spiritually minded and not to be carnally minded. To slip into carnality is easy, right?  And it's, sometimes it's a fight, it's a fight of faith, right? Verse 13, if by the spirit, if you live according to the spirit and then you put to death the deeds of the body. So I just want to place before us that by the spirit, we can and we will put to death the deeds of the body, right? To be spiritually minded is life and life and peace, just focus on that. And if by the spirit you put to death, we will be able to put to death, we can and we will put to death the deeds of the body. It says you will live. And that's the invitation of God to live, to be spiritually minded, to have life and peace. That's the invitation of God to, of our Lord to be spiritually minded and by the spirit putting to death the deeds of the body and to live, right? So let's pray, pray this possibility. Many times we dwell on the impossibilities or dwell on the negatives. This want us to dwell on this, that it is a possibility that these works, these verses talk about. And it's victory that these verses talk about for us to, as believers to walk in and experience the fullness of life that is in Christ. Amen? Yeah, let's pray. Father, we thank you Lord. We thank you Lord to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Lord, we thank you for the possibility and for the reality, Lord, of putting to death the deeds of the body and to live God, to have a life of Christ in us, thriving and flourishing God. And to this you appointed us, to this you have invited and called us God. Father, we thank you. Lord, we come at each one of us. Lord, we pray that we will walk in the reality of it, that we will walk in the experience of it. God, and not just talk about it, but walk in the experience of it to Father God. Yes, Master, we just pray for a release, O God of your favor. I just pray for a release, O God of Holy Spirit, empowering even right now, Lord, that we would walk in the reality of this, even today and in the days ahead. God, we thank you. In Jesus precious name, we pray. Amen. Amen. Okay. So, we've been looking at, I think we're just almost nearing the end of, you know, some of these, some of these topics. So, last class, we looked at how, you know, putting to out-crucify the flesh and how to be rooted in Him. That is to be established in Him. All are whatever things that actually, that give us stability must be Christ and not any other structure. We looked at Colossians 2, 6, 7 talks about how rooted and built up in Him, rooted in Him and built up in Him and established in the faith. And that is an instruction that we will be rooted, built up, established in the faith. And that our roots will go deep. It will not be superficial, which means our grip on our identity, our grip on our relationship with Christ, our grip on the scriptures, our grip on everything, you know, just like how the roots of a plant just go deep and then and cause stability to bring into the plant, that cause nutrition to reach the plant, that we would be rooted in Him. Okay. At the same time, there's something that needs to be severed, which means cut away and not be part of our lives. So that is, that's the last part of that topic, severing ungodly influences that these things we cut away from our lives. Okay. Almost surgically and not being part of us. Okay. Like 1 Corinthians 15 and verse 33 says, evil company corrupts good habits. So what is the end result that there is an influence of evil company that even when we have good habits as part of our lives, that this evil company influences and brings in corruption, brings in decay. So, of course, the natural thing to do, the logical thing to do is to cut away that influence so that it does not influence, so that it does not take over so that it does not corrupt. So this severing also needs to happen as much as we are being rooted in Christ, established and built up in Christ. There needs to be a severing away or cutting away or distancing ourselves from things that corrupt. Okay. And definitely, you know, when we, when we look at influences, we are most influenced by other human beings. We are most influenced by like people and their, what they bring in to our lives and so on. And the most influence in the sense, you know, people have access into our lives. So we need to be discerning and see, you know, if it's what they're bringing in, it's what they're offering. And what I'm really, you know, fellowshipping with surrounding myself with day in and day out, is that bringing in corruption? Is that bringing in decay? Or is that really, you know, leading me to life? Okay. I'm sure that as, you know, as teenagers growing up, you know, there's a lot of peer pressure, like pressure to conform, pressure to be part of a group, pressure to be appreciated and so on. And so we didn't really bother, like even if others told us, hey, that person is the wrong influence. You know, that person is not really, okay, but we didn't really bother.  And we didn't realize that, you know, that had an influence on us. That had an influence on our speech. Very clearly, you know, we have to remember, I think this was in class 11 or class 12 and, you know, just out of 10 standard and, you know, experiencing a little bit of freedom and all that. And I remember the company of people that were with me and then I noticed my language beginning to change. My language beginning to change using words that were vulgar, using words that were unwholesome and so on. And then, you know, one day just part of, part and parcel of my speech and communication, conversations. And one day I realized that and then I was having a chat with a friend and I said, you know, our language is really become worse, right? And then she said, yeah, yeah, you guys are really vulgar in your words and so on. So the thing is, it doesn't happen overnight. It doesn't happen, you know, immediately, but then it happens over a period of time. So, well, I'm not saying that, you know, we should just separate ourselves, but we need to be careful. And we need to, you know, where we need to really cut away, we need to cut away. Okay, right. Okay. So, and of course, staying consecrated, which is a continuous thing. Let me just share the notes. Okay. So today, you know, we look at living daily, chapter nine. So living daily with a renewed mind. So we looked at the whole aspect of renewal of the mind. Okay. So we will, you know, we will see some things that are overlaps. So, you know, don't get tired with that. Don't get, we won't be tired out by that. We will, there are some overlaps and hopefully it will reiterate some things that we already know. Okay. So we looked at renewing the renewed mind. You know, one way to look at a renewed mind or a mind being renewed in some area of our lives is to see the behavior to see the transformation. So if there is transformation in a particular area of our lives, that means that area of our life is renewed. That, you know, what area of our lives, sorry, that our mind is renewed in that particular area. You know, maybe if it is something to do with, let's say for example, you know, something to do with forgiveness. Right. If we see that forgiveness active and alive and part of our lives in our, you know, in our behavior, then we can, we can say for sure. We can say surely that there has been renewal of our mind. There has been alignment and renovation of our mind in that aspect. Right. So let's look at Romans 12. You know, this is a verse that we looked at earlier as well. Romans 12 verse one and two, verses one and two. I just issued there for brethren by the mercies of God that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, wholly acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. He said there is this presentation of our bodies as a living sacrifice that we need to do willingly. Okay. Verse two, and do not be conformed to this world. Okay. So don't be, don't fit into the world's ways, values, habits, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Okay. So there is transformation by the renewing of our mind. So if our mind is renewed, then we can be assured that there is transformation. Okay. If our mind is partially renewed, even if something like that is possible, then our transformation is also partial. Which means it's inconsistent. Right. And part of that renewing of our mind is that we may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. So we begin to understand what God's desire is, what God's will and wish is for our lives and on different matters. Right. And it just goes without saying, right. So when our mind is renewed to the Word of God, our mind is renewed to the will of God. Right. Because the Word of God is the will of God. If you look at, you know, if you look at the Logos, that's the will, that's the desire of God. All these principles and precepts that are there in the Word, that's the desire of God. These are the thoughts and opinions of God. Right. So when our mind is renewed to the Word of God, then our mind is being renewed to the will and wishes and desire of God. Okay. And we're just generally talking about the Logos. Then of course, when you come to the quickened Word, like the Holy Spirit, quickened Word of God, when our mind is renewed to that, you know, specific instructions, then that results in obedience, that results in knowing what God's heart is in that specific matter, specific scenario. Right. Maybe each of us face certain things that are unique, challenges that are different. You know, the way God leads us or what he's leading us into, the call of God is different. So how do we know that is when our mind is aligned, our thoughts are aligned, our whole, you know, our thinking pattern is aligned to the quickened Word of God, whatever he has spoken, whatever he's continuing to speak to us, the directions that he's given us, when he's giving us, when we are, when our mind is renewed with that, when our mind is renewed with that instruction, then, you know, it talks about proving or, you know, the testing and finding to be true, the will of God, the heart of God in that particular thing. So area. Right. So this is what it renewed results in. So the renewal of our mind is something that is continuous. This is what it results in. So it's exciting. Right. The renewal of our mind results in transformation.   I want more of you, God. Maybe we may have you transformed to be like you in my thoughts and words and action, God, you know, in relating to people and everything, you know, but this is, you know, one of the keys of that, keys to that. Right. In so ordering Allah, he's in behavior in line with God. Okay. Let's look at Ephesians 4. We go to Ephesians 4 and 23. Okay. Ephesians 4 and verse 23, you know, let's read from verse 20. But you have not so learned Christ if indeed you heard him and have been taught by him as the truth is in Jesus, that you put off concerning your former conduct. Okay. That you put off concerning your former conduct. So your former behavior, your former way of living that you put off. What do you put off the old man or the old, you know, old self which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts and be renewed in the spirit of your mind. And that you put on the new man, which was created according to God in true righteousness and holiness. So he's talking about putting on and putting off, taking on and taking off. Right. So which means that you draw near to certain things and draw away from certain things. Right. And in the realm of our thoughts and minds. So be renewed in the spirit of your mind. You put on so this putting on of the new man of the new creation and everything that the new creation is supposed to be that you put on. Which is great according to the God in true righteousness and holiness. So verse 24 talks about reading Ephesians 4 verse 24 talks about the putting on and verse 22 says that you put off. So there is a putting on and putting off.  What do you put off concerning your former conduct. Your earlier way of living the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts. Now the thing is when we read Romans 6 we see that we already know that our old man was crucified with Christ. That the body of sin may be, the body of sin might be done away with. So that has already been done. Okay.  We put off what the old man represents or the old man's way of living that we put it off consciously. Even though our spirit man is is brand new is a new creation in Christ that our soul our soul realm in our soul realm. We need to put off the ways of the body of sin. We need to put off the ways of the old man. Okay. Now that's us our responsibility daily and we put on the new man, the new creation spirit man and spirit way of living. The new way of living new creation life we put on we take on or in other words we just invite we open up our lives to that. We close our lives to the other thing. Okay. So what are some things that we can take on? Okay. Isaiah 58 versus 8 to 11. We take on the ways of God. We take on the thoughts of God. Okay. So this is something that happens daily. God says verse eight for my thoughts are not your thoughts. So the thing is this that we take on and we make our thoughts his thoughts. Or in other words, we make his thoughts as our thoughts. And these are thoughts which are contrary. Like we studied the context in this, right? It's not like every thought that I have. I have a thought of worship. I have a thought of praise. I have thought of, you know, we following God and doing things. And these are, you know, from birth out of a great desire to please God and so on. Now, we can't say these are not, you know, my thoughts God. These are my thoughts. And so, you know, it's very different from your thoughts, right? We can't, we can't say that. So the context is that the wicked will forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts. So that is why, so we understand that. So we take on the thoughts and ways of God. And the Lord says my thoughts are higher thoughts. My ways are higher ways. And so we take on the higher thoughts. We take on the higher ways. Which means that we put off, we automatically, you know, put off any thoughts of carnality, any fleshly thoughts, any lower realm thoughts. Okay. And just wanted to, you know, remind us that like even when it wants, when, you know, when it comes to doing the will of God or, you know, understanding the thoughts of God, well, there could be things that are good, right? There could be things that are good, but not necessarily, you know, things that God wants us to do. Okay. Things that are good, you know, which means not morally, ethically, they're fine, right? But are these, you know, specifically, you know, just, I'm just digressing, specifically for us, for you as an individual, for me as an individual, is that something that God wants me to go into, right? So principally, it's fine, you know, publicly, if you look at it, yeah, it's good. But the Lord wants to, you know, lead us in ways, in the perfect ways, that what he wants for us, the good works that he's prepared for us, right? And at least we see that, you know, Romans 8 and verse 26, we do not know what we should pray for as we ought. We do not know what we should pray for as we ought because, and one such scenario or, you know, time that happens is when we have options for us and all are good, they're noble, good things. So what do I pray, what action do I take? You do not know what we should pray for as we ought. But the Holy Spirit Himself makes intercession for us, the groanings which cannot be uttered. So it talks about words, the Holy Spirit gives us an intercession, the groanings with words that are not articulate, you know, talking about the praying in the spirit, where we pray and talking, the verse is following that talks about, you know, who searches the heart, knows what the mind of the spirit is, so praying the perfect will for us, right? So we take on the thoughts of God in that manner, where it becomes clearer, where it becomes, I do not know what I should pray for, but then I'm going to pray in the spirit, the spirit of God knows the perfect will and the ways of God, so I'm going to pray and in that praying things become clearer. There is a knowing on the inside in my spirit, there's a revelation in my spirit about the ways of God, about ways of God for me, right? And even in the midst of these options that are good, that seem to be good, what does that God wants me to do? So I take on the thoughts and ways of God. The second thing is also taking on the attitude of Christ. So our attitude, you know, is a way of, a set way of thinking about certain things. Attitude of Christ, the attitude of Christ we see in Philippians 2 that he humbled himself, right? So he humbled himself, that is an attitude, the attitude of humility. He humbled himself to serve, so that's an attitude of humility. So we take on that. It is also, you know, it just doesn't stop with that, but also it means a victorious attitude and a mindset, right? When it comes to the work, you know, destroying the works of the enemy, he went about doing the good, we read in Acts 10, that he went about doing good, destroying the works of the enemy. So we take on that attitude, that mindset of a victorious one in the Spirit, right? So take on the attitude. So all this is wither in your mind. So where we take on the ways and thoughts of God, where we take on the attitude of Christ, and also we take on the knowledge of God, okay? The knowledge of God, the understanding of who God is, the very nature and the heart of God. Colossians 3 talks about that. Colossians 3 and verse 10, just read it. Okay, Colossians 3-10. Do not like to, sorry, nine onwards. Do not like to one another since you have put off the old man with his deeds and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of him who created it. Who is renewed in knowledge according to him in accordance with Christ, according to the image of him who created it, right? But first him refers to Christ himself and who created him referring to ourselves. So we have put on the new man, okay? And so we take on the knowledge of God, the revelation of God. And this also, you know, something that we grow in, okay? Okay, so living daily with a renewed mind. So it's a continuous process, right? And it involves receiving revelation like Colossians 3 and verse 10, that you put on the new man who is renewed in the knowledge according to the image of him who created him. So we will let us happen to us when we receive Christ. But it's also something that is progressive that we grow in the knowledge, right? That we grow in the understanding. And this is something that we need to present to daily, right? We grow in the knowledge, we grow in the understanding of God. And when we say knowledge, we're talking about revealed things. You know, what God reveals about himself and the understanding that we receive, you know, of the heart of God, okay? So we read in 2 Peter and chapter 3 and verse 18, but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to him be glory both now and forever. We grow in the knowledge, grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So we know that is something that is revealed to us, not just facts and figures, but something even more in relationship from a place of relationship, from a place of Holy Spirit walking with us and revealing things to our heart. So grow in that. So we receive revelation, we grow in our understanding in the light of that revelation in the knowledge of God, okay? So that is also renewing our mind. We are living daily, continuously renewing our mind, okay? So as we grow, okay? The second thing is the conquest of the mind, what we've studied, where we recognize the fact that the mind is a battlefield. We recognize the fact that I need to take every captive thought, the captive every thought. I can't just be passive, right? Can't just be passive and let the enemy infiltrate my mind with thoughts that are unedifying, thoughts that result in unedifying action or unrighteous action, thoughts that really war against my soul. Okay, so I need to be discerning and take every thought captive. The third thing is of course renewing our mind. We're talking about the conquest of the mind and so it's about the battle, understanding that it's a battlefield, understanding that there's a responsibility that I have to fight this battle and take every thought captive and also the responsibility that I have as a believer to renew my mind and to develop a mindset that is word-centric and therefore positive, right? The third thing is to learn to balance, okay? Balance what? We don't look at each of these. To balance certain things, one is a reason, okay? To balance reason, just, you know, the Lord has given us a mind, so he has given us the faculty of thinking, reasoning, coming to certain conclusions. So balance, you know, so that aspect. Then to live with a renewed mind. To also be led by the spirit and sometimes we need to acknowledge that it goes against reason, human reason, right? The Lord asks us to do certain things. We're led by the spirit and to go against human reason. A classic example, the Lord gives an instruction to Peter both those times, to cast the net even after he has fished. Okay, Jeff has a question. How can we grow in grace? We can grow in the knowledge of God, but how can we grow in grace? Grace also refers to a few things, right? When you say grace, it's unmerited favor. God extending his favor to us, which we do not deserve. So that is grace. Grace also refers to what he's giving us freely. The gifts of the spirit. These are gifts of grace. Grace also refers to divine enablement, right? Which means growing in the empowerment of God. So we see all these perform grace. So when you say grow in grace, it's to grow in the understanding of grace, to be rooted in that and not works. To be rooted in the fact that okay, like to be rooted in love, to be rooted in grace, to be strong in that grace, that whatever we've received, it's from him. And so grow to be rooted in that revelation. And also to be rooted in or to grow in the gifts of grace. Where these are given freely and we don't earn it. We don't perform, but to grow in that. And also grace means the divine enablement. So to grow in all these facets of grace. Yeah. And so that's the thing. So how do we grow? Of course, growth comes with understanding. Growth comes with deceiving and also putting to practice, walking in it. So that's why Peter exalts and says we grow in this, in the knowledge and in the grace. Yeah. Hope that helps. Yes. Thank you. Okay. Okay, so we learn to, you know, so this aspect of, okay, we have this reason, we have this renewed mind leading in the spirit, leading to be led by the spirit. You know, sometimes it goes against human reasoning.  Right. But what was Jesus leading him to do? What was Jesus instructing him to do? To do the same thing, right? That morning. And then, so that was, that we went against his own reasoning and he did that. Okay. So we can say, okay, leading of the Holy Spirit, right? For us as New Testament believers. And sometimes it might be unreasonable, right? Things he's asking us to do. And the same thing again with Peter, I'd go drop a fish, I'm sorry, drop a hook into the sea, pull up the first fish that you catch and then you open its mouth that will have a coin. Okay. Totally supernatural. So some of the two supernatural ways go against the natural thought patterns and reasonings. Okay. So holding that also in the same, holding that intention, reasoning and my renewing, my renewed mind, walking with a renewed mind to the truth of God's word, being led by the Spirit of God and being led by the Spirit of God, of course, our renewed mind will just latch on to that because it is the word and the spirit that they agree. So the word with which we renew our mind agrees with the leading of the Holy Spirit. And that's why it's so important to renew our mind with the word of God. So there's an agreement, there is a strength that comes and will says, okay, you need to do it. Then the other thing is to avoid presumption. So presumption is when we presume something to be true, which is not, when we presume something to be right, when it's not, or when we presume that we have heard from God, when we have not presumption. Okay, so presumption is not based on the word of God. It could be very subtle. So avoiding that. So learning to live intention or in a whole things in balance. So having a continuous process, we've seen this, right? So to a continuous process of living in with a renewed mind, receiving revelation, receiving wisdom and living in that constant growth and lifestyle of having a renewed mind. The second one, conquest of the mind, we won't go into it. We've just gone through and seen all that. So let's look at the third one, which is living in balance with avoiding the pitfall of presumption. This is an area which you really need to be mindful of. So if you look at the mind of a believer, right? And especially when we look at the renewed mind, when we say it. We know that God has created us, spirit, soul and body. God has given us the faculty of thinking, right? To analyze, to reason, to think, right? And other intellectual capacities with which we pursue academics and our research and so on. The ability to think, question, right? And God is not against that. He is given, He is designed. So He's not against that. Probs 13, 16. Every prudent man acts with knowledge. But a fool lays open his folly. Probs 19, 2. It is not good for a soul to be without knowledge. And he sins, who hastens with this feat. Probs 24, 6 by wise counsel you will wage your own war and so on. So there is this aspect of knowledge, living and using mental faculties, which is God given. And God is not opposed to that. So God wants us to be mature in our understanding, to live with that, with the knowledge and putting that knowledge to work in our lives. So he's not opposed to that, right? We need to understand that. Okay, so mind, you know, using our mind when we say, okay, use the reason, logic, it's not bad. It's not a bad word. Okay, then when we look at, you know, in the same way, our minds need to be renewed. Renewed to the word of God. We know that. Renewed to the thoughts, the words of God. So again, it's in the realm of our mind. So our reasoning is with the renewed mind. Okay, our analysis and reasoning is with the renewed mind, renewed with the word of God. So it's a very powerful, let's say, entity. It's very powerful to have a renewed mind, to have intellectual capacities, you know, like magnified many times, increased many times, to the renewed mind. Okay, so it's a powerful tool for a human being to possess. Okay, the second thing is that to live with that balance of that, of having a, you know, that reasoning with the renewed mind, and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Okay, now the challenge is this, that sometimes when the Spirit of God leads us, when He wants us to do certain things, that it goes beyond reasons. We looked at Peter's example, and a few more examples of Peter is, you know, walking on water, and so on. But here we see many other examples, all the supernatural works of God, filling water into the pots, water pots, and then changing that into wine and so on. But before that, you know, just filling it. So what would have gone on in the minds of those people, right? So the thing is that the Holy Spirit leads us, Spirit of God leads us, instructs us to go beyond our general reasoning. Okay, but when we reason with that, with a renewed mind, we're in a new reason with a renewed mind, and then we are able to go with the leading of the Holy Spirit. Okay, because like we said, the word and the Spirit agree. So that's the way to go forward. That is the way to, you know, move forward. So one more thing about living with a renewed mind is also that the fact that, you know, when there could be times when the Holy Spirit, well, there's no specific instruction from the Spirit of God. There's no specific leading from the Spirit of God. Okay, and things could be like, well, certain choices that we might have about our clothing, about our food and everything. So, well, we just use our mind. Okay, and we just go with it. And sometimes we live with the principles of God's Word. We understand, okay, this is what the principle is, rather than, you know, always being subjectively led by the Holy Spirit. Okay, this is the broad principle. So, you know, my mind is renewed to these principles of God's Word, and so I live with it. Okay, now, when it comes to, I just want to further go down to this presumption. Okay, now that's a danger area because we presume, okay, we come to a conclusion that we have heard from God about certain things. Okay, and then we act on it. Okay, when we haven't, actually. Now, the thing is, we are so sure. Maybe it's because we desired that thing. Okay, we desired that cause of action. We desired that decision so much that it somehow clouds our ability to discern. Okay, so we presume, we assume that, okay. God, I think God has spoken, so I'm going with it. Okay, and we say, okay, I'm taking a step of faith even. Right, forgetting that faith is substance and the evidence. Okay, it's based on the Word of God. It's based on certain hard things. It's the substance, it's the evidence of things not yet seen. Right, so it is based on the Word of God. So when we assume that God has spoken, and then we follow through with action, then that results in a lot of damage. Okay, so for example, this happened, like a young couple who got married and then they just felt that, okay, God is requiring of them to to leave everything in the sense of design. They were actually quite senior in their organization. They were young, but they were holding positions of responsibility in the organization where they were working. Both of them, working professionals, probably in IT or something. So then they just felt that, okay, they need to move to another place and then do some form of ministry there and the sign here, go there and they were going into a place which was, it was much more expensive to live and so on in India and they felt that, right? It came from a place of, it's a good thing. They just wanted to serve God there and maybe start a church even then. But the thing is, the place went ahead and a very impulsive thing. Like we can't judge and say whether they prayed through, et cetera. But then they did that and they realized that after maybe six months, three months or six months, they realized that, okay, this is not really what they actually rushed. They assumed, they presumed and then thankfully, massively, by the grace of God, they were able to come back and restart. It took a while, okay, it took a while because things were not easy. They had actually quit good positions and then they had gone. So it took a while to get back and it took a while. But then, by the grace of God, it happened. They were able to get back to work and initially, the one person got a job and they were just managing on that and then the other person also got a job and so on. So the thing is this that when we assume and we assume something to be true and we just presume that, okay, God has spoken when he has not and we work on it. Then when we follow through and act on it, then it becomes a problem. So we need to, and this also happens in the realm of our mind and how we analyze and put things together. So we need to be careful. So how do we safeguard ourselves against presumption? One of the things that we see in 1 Thessalonians 5, especially in the light of prophecy and the prophetic word and instruction is to test all things, hold fast to what is good. To test all things and it's with prophecy, right? 1 Thessalonians 5, do not despise prophecies but test all things, okay? And then to hold fast to what is good, abstain from every form of evil, know that those instructions, one after the other. To test all things and hold fast to what is good, which means you don't hold fast to what is not good. When you test, you find out that there are certain things that are mixed, okay? Certain things that I received as, you know, which I thought and in my mind that it is true and certain things that are not good, certain things that are good and I've received both and I need to hold on to what is good, okay? As an end result of testing. So we know how do we test it? We studied in the prophetic, right? Is it in agreement with the word of God? Certain things are like, yeah, it does agree with the word of God. I need to go beyond that. Is it in line with the character and nature of God? Yes, it is. But is this the way God has been leading me? Is it in line with all that God has been speaking to me? So He's calling me. He's training me. He's preparing me and to commission me into a certain area. Suddenly, can there be a U-turn to restart from scratch? Something else, okay? Things to think about. Okay, so we will stop here and we'll continue with this whole thing of presumption. Okay, when it comes to living with a renewed mind, it's something that we need to really think about, right? Okay, we'll look at it in the next class. Thank you. God bless. Bye-bye. Thank you, Pastor. See you. Bye-bye. Thank you, Pastor.


Hello, Charles Box, how are you doing today? Hi, so what's the latest you're talking about here at Embedded World? Embedded World this year has really been about the growth of Linux and security. We have seen a huge change in the last two or three years from where security was just talked about to where it's starting to be implemented in real product. That's been driven by OEM's need to produce secure devices that can be updated for their customers. This is mainly in the industrial robotics, automation and infrastructure space but at some stage it will meet the consumer space as well. We're seeing huge demand of MCU customers moving from the current application layer into an MPU space where they'll need a heavier operating system like Linux. And so what Foundry delivers is the easy button for Yocto, easy button for security which allows them to go and productise their devices six to nine months quicker with much more security. And you've been executing and happening, this thing has been happening the last couple of years? We started the company five or six years ago. We were a spin-out from Leonardo. We saw the need for a horizontal-based Linux in IoT. The same way as we had a standard platform in the PC industry, the same way as we had a standard platform in cloud even when Android came out, that standardised where the mobile phone was going. Now we have something equivalent in IoT that is not just usable on one or two devices but a whole swath of major SOC companies that work with us to have a standard Linux across an industry platform through ARM and X86. And behind you, you're illustrating some of the stuff here that you're talking about? Yes, so if you look at the illustration and we start over this side, most OEMs start here with selecting their hardware and they'll go into their EVK and BSP through their development cycle. They'll then go, OK, is that right? They could come back again. And they'll work through the BSP of the hardware vendor. That's quite simple to do. You can do tooling with that. You can do some proof of concepts with that. The problem comes down when you want to go into your own hardware and you have security in there and you have to build in the tooling and you have to build in the testing and you start going around this cycle. Security is one of the last things to be thought about and one of the hardest things to put in. What we do at Foundries is enable this whole cycle to be shortened because you're using the same code base from day one. You can choose multiple different chipset vendors. You have automatically built in the security. You have all of the Yachto layers that you can then customize to what you want. And as you go through the development and then into prototyping, it's the same software layer. And then when you go into production, it's the same code base again. You've used automatically what you start off with, what you edit, what you develop, what you produce. It's the same code base. You don't have to go through multiple iterations and proof of concepts. And then when you go into maintenance, you have a full CI CD DevOps cloud giving you daily CVE updates with the full software stack from Bootloader to Docker container on top that allows your device to be over the air updated with the most secure over the air update possible for IoT all the way through the device lifecycle for 10, 15, 20 years. It seems like all encompassing covers everything and you manage to do that. You manage to write a platform that just writes everything. We are probably the only platform that goes from Bootloader through to Docker container through to OTA that allows OEMs to be very flexible with their SOC, to be very flexible with their cloud. We don't tell people where to put their data. We are cloud agnostic, we are SOC independent but we add all the latest security from all the latest vendors. So I've been going to the embedded world since 2011 and so all the embedded world has been having troubles in the security and you're bringing that to the next level. We're making Yachto and security easier. Security is never going to be easy. It has to be multi-layered. It has to be improved every day, every week. That's why we do maintenance and OTA to make sure that all the latest CVs are available, fully tested on your hardware every time you need it so you can update your product in the field. This is almost unique in the industry. Potentially IoT devices will be updated forever. When they sell really cool products, thanks to your technology, they'll be just forever. You can have updates as long as we keep the DevOps platform going, as long as you buy us, we will keep updating it because it's automatically generating for you. Nice. Here you have some demos at the booth. Let me introduce my partner Raoul. Raoul, do you want to do a couple of demos? Well, this year at the MetaDeword, we are not bringing devices, but we are using KeyMu because we have a large number of platforms we support. We decided to use KeyMu, and that's enough to illustrate what we have. So what do we see here? This is some of the platforms we support. I will play the video so it will switch to another view where we have more platforms. I see NXP, I see Arduino, NVIDIA, NVIDIA. We have a bunch of devices we already support out of the box, and the customer can always add their own device to the factory. How's it going? Just pick one and it's fine. You can get started with us. We work with Toradex, all the different boards. We work with Toradex ST, TI, NXP, a bunch of NXP as well. And then our demo this year is basically, we have three stations at the booth. Each station has their own KeyMu, and we can see the factory which is a very good view on the CI CD that we provided to the customer. We can see how the builds we have done for that factory. We have the platform and the container builds here in that view. And then we can also see the devices connected to that factory. We have this three station with three devices, all the device following the same tag in the latest version. And also we can check which application is running on each device. Well, if you go back here to the device, one of the cool thing we are demonstrating here is this is our device. It's running five different containers. And it's cool that we have a container running Flutter and another container running QT. This is to show the beauty of container and the ability to isolate one from each other. So this is the Flutter application running in one container. And then as we, I will switch to another application. This is a COG browser showing our website. Switching again, I have QT. So this is all running the same device. It could be done on iMacs, on TI or any device. And yeah. So you're switching. Switching containers in the same device. Just to show the ability of having multiple containers running the same device. Is that something many people want to do? Is it a brand new idea? Well, we have customers asking for how they can have, for example, a browser and a Flutter in the same device and things like that. And this is where container comes up and helps a lot. And also, most of our customers are using containers for developing as well. The ability to isolate it from the base-operate system. And then you can keep updating your base-operate system, moving forward and get the latest version. Nice. What else are you talking about here at the booth? Well, let me see. The video I was showing before, show how the 30 minutes getting started you have. So if you come by the booth, we can give you in four minutes, how is the first half an hour playing with factory three and four minutes, like an accelerated video. So basically, we are showing these and how the problems we have that Ian already covered today. All right. And the three? The three stations basically the same. So it's more a station for so we can help more customers. And what kind of discussions do you have here at the Embedded World? People come and are very interested to get started. Well, people who are working with Yocto and they always need like over there updates and security. They come by and say hi and try to understand what we offer. And basically, most of the conversations around Yocto, around security, around container as well. And that's more our focus. This is why. Cool. All right. Thanks a lot. Thank you very much.


Good morning everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Armour with a stock swash. This is TLRD This is a good gap today rated 20 points and it worked Eric did it. You did a good job saying this Okay, the only thing I could say today is just be a little bit faster But but you know this is still very new for you. So anyways here it is and The interesting thing is this is only even traded out for one year. I typically I'm not crazy about these It only has one year of trade history But it worked Actually, and you didn't even check if you had this short, but luckily you did. Oh, yeah, cuz you didn't check in the morning All right, let's take a look at it It was a little crazy until it broke.  Yeah, you were scared swinging around. Yeah here. Yes Because it was So here was the here was where I called it and then it then you were down in it here And it was almost stopped down. It was getting close. You had to stop in the way And then the same thing happened here and then you were down again You're at any dollars So if you want to get crazy you could have taken more here But the stop would have been the same place anyways a drop drop drop and then you got out And then it went a little bit more What No, you can't get nuts You are hilarious first of all You did not even fill out the sheet this morning to see what your maximum buying power is a position You could have taken you don't even know Remember you tried to do the target one the other day and you couldn't so who knows you could figure it out In fact figured out right now. What is the maximum amount that you could have taken in this? I don't know at 16 at 16 you you got filled at 1667 You wouldn't have been able to take a little over a thousand actually and you took how many Yeah, so you wouldn't have been able to take maybe like 1100 or something like that But if you don't even have that figured out You're really doing all of that in your head as well Besides the position sizing of the stock, so you know again on the sheet in the morning number shares Quantity you can figure out what you're allowed to take it's more important Yeah, you could have taken at least a thousand You know Anyways, the point is you did your right size for your risk with the dollars and cents if the trade had stopped Yeah, you don't max out my buying power That's what you would have been doing here because the bottom line is the stock couldn't be lowered You would have had to keep the stock the same just to stay in it and it was bouncing Some people said they did chicken and eggs. It's which is fine They laid trade like that this scalp to get out here and here and then here But I felt like it was gonna work. I felt like it was good. It was good Typical traders that look to buy these things in here and then they're stopped out here when you get the flush Traders like to buy these again for the gap fills similar to the urban what people like to do But do you see here the consistency as you rate the gap it rates? Well, you follow the trade you take it when it sets up you do it I said sixteen dollars for this today, but you know, I didn't know the time it would get there Let's see what it did get there. It was a little later. Well got to fifteen seventy five fifteen seventy one Time of the day was eight ten thirty So you would have had to hold it like for another half of you would have had to hold it for another half an hour Which isn't that bad to it was bouncing. Of course, nothing goes straight down. Yeah, nothing So if you can't stomach that then you get out you wanted to retake it again Let's just see it did have one more. It did have a setup in here late It did have a full-on set up I was lecturing but it did have a setup that you could have resorted it in here and taken it down for like Another fifty cents, but when you're up for the day and your goal is in for the day Then I think you then you I think you stop basically you made 15% of your account today That's good. If you did that every day, that would be fantastic. Okay, so there was nothing wrong with getting out where you did And some people got out a little bit later, but it's fine Do you have any questions about this at all today?  It didn't matter in the end. I think when it retested it 1705 but you got to give a cushion and then you give the spread cushion and I just didn't know them because it was opening up now. It was pretty firm now Oh, no, see there it is to say just thought it was two cents. See now. It's three cents. See now It's three cents now.   Yeah. Yeah, yeah So this was a good one today You did a great job and we'll probably get a good one tomorrow The only thing is we I mean literally you did a good job flipping to have this up today because staples was the one You're originally watching and I said just have this happen You'll be fine, but this really did end up working out the staples did not in fact Let's look quickly at the staples. Wow. Was this really crazy today? Look at it. Look at the first 15 minute bar. It's insanity The first 15 minute bar. Look at the tail on it. Look at the tail there that look at that spike That's what we watched. Look at the daily A little bit it did, but how can you touch this? This looks like a dangerous It was there was no correct entry or set up in this after the way that it opened it's unfortunate So this was much smoother even though we waited oops. No, that's the wrong one. Hold on Even though you waited This was much smoother ride. Don't ever trade something like that that has their tail like that. It's very dangerous It's too much machines and you'll get hurt in it. You won't make money in either direction something like that So this is Melissa With the stock swish here with Eric and we just reviewed the TLRD stocks will show play of the day Good job today or if made money, we'll see what we get tomorrow. Have a good day everyone


Hi everyone, Shawn Jaspy's casebrakes.com here doing 2020 Panini Prism Football one-pack solo break, random team number 95, where we're giving away five spots in the football mixer, hopefully coming up later on tonight.  At the end of the break we'll randomize all 32 customers names in the top five names each when a spot in the football mixer. Here is our list of customers from Ryan Robertson down to Jonathan Arnaldi and the teams from the Cardinals down to the Washington football team. Dice roll to randomize both lists and pair them up.  Separate dice roll, separate randomizer at the end of the break to give away the spots. So from Todd down to Joseph Falsetti and two times on the teams from the Raiders down to the Cardinals. So two times on the teams, two times on the names and two times on the dice. So we're not going to read through the full list but we will go through some of the potential highlights in here being 2020 football. Dolphins to Otagovaloa, Brineclan, Packers, Jordan Love, Todd Wood, Chargers, Justin Herbert, Michael Robinson, the Bengals, Joe Burrow, Ryan Robertson, Eagles, Jalen Hertz, Daniel Festerman, and quite a few other opportunities in there too. Those are all our big quarterback chances. Let's print this out. And here's the back. There you go. You got to go hard or go home green, Patrick Mahomes for the Chiefs and Ben Hodak. Let's see what's in the red, white, and blues for us. Preston Williams, Dolphins, Brineclan, Canyon Drake, Cardinals, Joseph Falsetti, and nice Jordan Love. There you go. Green Bay Packers, Todd Wood. Nice Jordan Love, red, white, and blue for Todd and the Packers. Now let's give away those five spots. And here is our list of customers again from Ryan Robertson back down to Jonathan Arnaldi with Last Spot Mojo. Dice roll, top five names after two and a three, five times. So top five after five. Good luck. One. Fifth and final time. So five times on the randomizer, five times on the dice. Top five names. So from spots six down to 32. Thank you guys very much for getting in on this break. Hopefully I can do better for you on a future filler. First one out, sorry. Thanks for getting in. But special congratulations and thanks goes to Brineclan, Ben Hodak, Ben Hodak, Shannon Rex, Mark Rau. And there you go guys. That's our top five. Five times on the randomizer. Five times on the dice. Top five. And there you go. Thank you guys all for getting in on that. That was 2020 Panini Prism Football, one-packed solo break, random team number 95 from jaspyskisbreaks.com. I'm Sean, jaspyskisbreaks.com. Thanks for hanging out. We'll see you next time.


It's the matwork. All right, next we got reached trees. What's up, man? Haven't talked to you in a while. He said for smaller artists, is it worth hyping up each single track, right? Track release with a full 21 day plan or whatever your time scale is or pick good ones to hype up with a 21 day promo. That way in between big, heavily promoted singles, there are singles that you spend a fraction of the energy on in terms of marketing, but release still to keep feeding the fans. So I get a sense of what you're going at. So let's say this. The answer that you always have to consider is number one, guess the word. I don't know if you're gonna, if you have an idea what I'm gonna write. So guess, actually I wrote it wrong. So, resources.  And what you have to decide is where do you want to focus your energy on? All right? If you only have a certain amount of money, you can have a whole bunch of ones, right? I got, let's just say these are 10 ones at some point. What if this one goes up to X? What do you have? You have two, but if I just have two tracks, right? And then I distribute five tick marks within those two tracks, five elements of energy within those two. If one of those double, all right, that five goes to 10. So that's what you have to think about when you're distributing your energy, because at the end of the day, you only have a finite and you need to get an ROI. So just putting that energy everywhere to get no real results, not even give a chance. You have to take a risk at some point, especially when your resources are limited and you're just starting out. It doesn't make sense to be on, try to be on every single platform and post every day on every platform or to, to push every single song with the same amount of money or the certain amount of posts and all that stuff. Doesn't make sense. So whatever your 20 weight one day plan is, I don't know what you're referring to there, whatever that is, don't do it for every single song, right? Apply it to the right songs. And what I look at is, are you pushing a song, right? That song's going up. At some point, that song might mellow out a little bit, right? And this is when you can start to say, well, maybe I release another track. All right. So now you try to get another boost. That's one way to approach it. Or you can just say, I'm going to post, post weekly. I'm going to post bi-weekly, monthly, however you want to do it in that case. But let's say we're following this path. The thing that you want to do is say, all right, after this post happens, and then after the next post happens, and I started to get enough data, which one is worth continuing to push more than anything else. But even within that, I got my focus tracks. These should continue to get 80% of my energy, right? Whenever I'm doing focus tracks.  And there's four tracks within that maybe. All right. So you have, let's just say five elements. If we're working with money, you can divide by five, you can divide that 20%. So let's just say money, actually $5 work with Facebook. You will put $5 towards your four tracks. And then you have two other tracks. So that's six tracks in total that you're splitting that $80 that's left with. So that's $40 for these two tracks. And then you got $5 giving a little blip of energy to the next tracks. And we're just talking strictly Facebook ads. Now you can apply that in energy towards whatever you're, you know, your post, your Spotify playlist, and however you want to approach it. But think about it like this. So what tracks are you all, are you going to put in that 80% and this 80% should probably be two times a month. If you're if you're going super high clip, and you're, and you're dropping like all the time, right? But at least, right, give two weeks to these two tracks, at least. All right. And then even if you aren't dropping tracks frequently, but it's a money limitation, again, 20% of your resources, whatever that looks like goes towards these additional tracks. All right. That's a starting point. That's just a starting point. But I want to try to get it specific as I can with the question. Because of course, I don't know everything going on with you reach trees. But most people can operate off of that 8020. Right. You have a priority. You know, de prioritized. And these could be one, this could be one track in this section, where it's all 80 and everything else. I don't really believe in as much. Because what I would do is 80 tests, 80 tests, keep that other 20, right, find something else based on how this would form, keep testing within the 80, the songs that I believe in most. And then when something responds, in this 80%, where it's performing better than all of these other tracks, they drop to the 20, and I'm putting 80 towards one, one track. All right. And I might kick out some of the ones that were in 20 before. So now they get no action at all. All right. I hope that makes sense. Maybe I'll do a separate video trying to make it even clearer. But I think it was decent enough.


My name is Margot Valstor. I'm a former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sweden and right now I'm chairing the Oulof Palmy International Center. I'm Kolbasiya Oso and I'm the UK Preventing Sixth Service Initiative champion and also I work for an organization called Freedom from Torture in the UK. I'm Sofia Kornieva. I'm a human rights lawyer from Ukraine. I'm Sadia Issa Ismail. I'm from Sudan. I'm Secretary General for Association of Person with Disability. Hello, I'm Mozdaline Francois. I'm a global disability advocate. I'm working in Haiti. My name is Kathleen Kinest. I direct the Women's Peace and Security portfolio at the US Institute of Peace. The missing piece is a euphemism, if you will, of trying to describe one of the most horrific and criminal acts in war.  USIP and other partners have for over a decade bring together scholars, policymakers, practitioners and survivors of conflict-related sexual violence to help understand what the impact is and what we can do to prevent the scourge of war. I was the first UN Special Representative on conflict-related sexual violence, so I started in 2010. This was really setting up an agenda for the whole issue globally and making sure that we put it on the agenda for the Security Council and to have it stay there over the years. And of course now we have seen a lot happening, but it's really about the implementation. And legislation is only as good as its implementation. We see in many of today's wars and conflicts women are still not at the negotiating table. They are still not visible and their voices are not being heard about how wars and conflicts affect them. And this problem of sexual violence is still unfortunately a prominent one. I think for me survivors have insight and expertise that can inform us to have better policies and have a better support system that meet the need. That's why it's really important that survivors are integral part of our solution finding. Since the whole-scale invasion in 2022, we joined the Coalition, 5 a.m. Coalition. It's the Coalition of Human Rights Organizations in Ukraine who are documenting the war crimes and also representing the survivors in the national and international courts. The types of conflict-related sexual violence which we're working on is the survivors of rape and also the survivors who were forced to see how their family members were raped or sexually abused by the perpetrators. I am living with the disability since I was born and being disabled in a country like Haiti faced different physical and social barriers.  This increased awareness can lead to more attention, more success and support being directed towards finding more adaptive solutions. I want to see that, you know, moving forward, that when we are organizing important conversations such as, you know, this symposium, survivors are experts, you know, they need to be contributing to those important discussions. That's my hope, that we set a standard and how we're going to follow that standard, you know, moving forward. I hope that here that it is going to be a very high voice for different women here who are attending this symposium to tell that the situation in Sudan is bad, to show that all the world that we have to stand and to unify it and to stand up and to try that Sudan for peace. And we hope that we resist soon because we want to go back to our country. You know, I think the people give me really hope because when I'm talking and communicating with the colleagues from around the world and I see the people who are working with these issues every day behind their organizations, it really gives me hope that together we will build the system and we will find ways and solutions to help the survivors.


Today I'm going to be announcing the winner of the Acoustic Samples V-Times Giveaway. Hi folks, I'm Mike and I hope you're well. Now it's Valentine's Day here in Australia and you know what that means. Yes, it means I'm going to announce the winner of our V-Times Giveaway. Now if you haven't seen the original video and you want to check out this product or the other products by Acoustic Samples then do follow the link that I'm putting on the screen somewhere around about here right now. Now before we get into choosing the person who's won I just want to mention that we also have another giveaway going out right at the moment and that is for the Music Lab Real Strat Electric Guitar. I did a review on it the other day and I'll put a link with a thumbnail and stuff at the end of this video kind of here roughly maybe a bit further over there. I don't know. Anyway we have one person to pick and I have teed up my random name picker on my screen here so let's have a look and see who's won the V-Times Giveaway.
