Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We are nearing the end of the Black Friday promo inside of FIVA 22. I wanna take a look at one piece of content that we have not yet received as a part of this promo that was added to the pack code that we've been expecting that we have not yet seen and that is the Black Friday party bag or the Black Friday pack. And that was added to the code a couple of, basically a week ago as we were getting into this promo and that was a very interesting pack and we have not yet seen it. And since today is like the last full day of the Black Friday promo and all that makes sense that that would somehow be released today. So I wanna talk about that and technically today is Cyber Monday as we know it as well. And in the years past EA have done special, I guess you could say extra Black Friday content because of Cyber Monday. Honestly, I think that the only thing they're gonna do specially today for Monday would just be continue on with lightning rounds and promo packs in the store. Today, I don't think we're getting any more Flash SBCs or anything like that. I think that was ending yesterday. We might have a few, like one Flash SBC that lingers into today on Monday, but I think that's over. Like the Flash SBCs every couple hours. That was only Friday and Sunday. We'll talk about that in this video as well. I also wanna look at the brand new three cards. We'll start off with this in the video today. The brand new three signature signings cards that were added to the game yesterday, Marcus Llorente, Ruben Diaz, and Eduard Mendee. Of course, these were all cards actually that were quote unquote leaked that were gonna be a part of this team last week. Llorente with a very small upgrade, right? A lot of people are not a huge fan of this card. You can see it's got a pretty even like the dislike ratio. It just didn't get that big of an upgrade. Yes, he has a cool dynamic image but only a plus one overall with plus ones and a couple plus two and some stats. Yes, he is now Holit Gang, but such a small upgrade in total on the card. His biggest individual upgrade, I believe, was like seven balance, so 76 balance instead of 69. I'm sure it's still a cracked out card but a lot of people think that you can't justify the price for paying basically 400,000 coins more for a plus one upgrade, which I 100% understand. Now the two other cards that didn't here look pretty good. Eduard Mendee, his gold card, I used him early in the game. He was super OP. I can only imagine that this card is really overpowered as well and it's a primarily goalkeeper. We don't have a ton of special goalkeepers in this game, let alone prem goalkeepers. So that's a nice card to have. And also this Rubin DS looks like an absolute unit, plus 15 pace, making this card very usable. He has both 90 defense and 90 physicality. And I mean, that's a pretty, I mean the pace still is not that insane, but it's another primarily center back and we only have Diop and Rudeger in this category. So finally getting another primarily center back that a lot of people would want to use, Portuguese links and also Manchester City links. It's a perfect link to that Bernardo Silva rode to the knockouts card that a lot of people have. And that's why you've seen his price move a lot. Yesterday he came out in the packs, he went down as low as 180 and then exploded and now he's even 250,000 coins as people are trying to center back. There aren't that many other options. Again, like I said, in the Prem, so there's a lot of demand here for a very well-known and popular player in this game. So as we're heading into rewards, I mean, Weekend League rewards being released, I know some of you guys have already got them, but of course on Monday mornings, we always see the mass Weekend League rewards distributed. These cards really are not dropping at all. This market is really stagnant, is the best way to say it. And I honestly think that's just because people have a lot of coins and they just went through the whole tumultuous period of having to sell their team, figure out when to buy and they're done with that, right, they just bought cards for a team and they're happy, they don't feel like selling. So unless there's a reason for them to panic, they're not going to panic. But one thing that could potentially cause a little bit of panic today, and this is not confirmed to be today, but it almost just makes sense. And I feel like we haven't talked about this pack that much since the pack code came out. And it hasn't been seen yet in this game, which kind of leaves us to, since this promotion is ending today on Tuesday, unless EA have something else up their sleeve, what is gonna be the day when they would drop this? Except today, like it just kind of makes sense, the Black Friday pack. Black Friday exclusive contains one OTW, wrote to the knockouts or rule breakers, rule breakers player, two gold rare players and three rare consumables. Now, a lot of people are like, wow, it contains consumables, why would this be an SBC? It still could be a pack that they drop in the store. I think the two leading, I guess, favorite ways that this might be dropped into the game or the two most, I don't know, the most two likely ways this pack might be dropped into the game. In my opinion, I still think this might be an SBC, right? I think this is a perfect, basically a party bag SBC that EA could drop today that would, you know, everybody has bought up a lot of these out of pack special cards, some rule breakers, some ones to watches and some of those wrote to the knockouts. Like you take a look, Foden is up, a decent amount, Davies is up, especially if you look at the rule breakers team, number one, Holland is up. He was like 530K, Usman Dembele is up, Rudiger is flying, Trend Alexander is flying. This would be a perfect time for EA to kind of, I know it sounds pretty EA-like, but to kind of put in this big pack and make some panic selling happen on those cars and make some of those cars lose their value and make people lose coins. So I don't know, man, I just, I'm just getting a feeling that this Black Friday pack, if it's gonna come, I feel like it's gonna come today. So I wanna talk about this pack just again a little bit. If it's gonna be an SBC, I think it's gonna be in the price range of somewhere around probably like 100 to 150,000 coins, maybe like 80 to 120K would be more of a sweet spot. Now to be honest, is that good value? It's really not that good a value because once to watch, road to the knockout or rule breakers, I mean, through all of these promo teams, you've got cards that are basically discard value, right? You've got Arnold at 15K, but recently milled 23,000 coins, some of these road to the knockouts aren't even live and upgrading anymore or some of these ones to watches aren't gonna be live and upgrading anymore. Konate, 20,000 coins, Bellerin, 12,000 coins, right? Furpo, discard. So there's plenty of cards that'll be available from this pack that would not be very, I guess you could say valuable, but EA also know that people right now in this game have tons of fodder, they have tons of coins, so they can overpriced this SBC a little bit. They can overpriced it a little bit and still get so many people to go out and do it since there's so many upgrade packs and stuff like that that are out in this game right now that a lot of people would be wanting to go and you know, craft, if you will, this brand new Black Friday pack. So that's why I think it might be around 100,000 coin mark. I think that it would cause some panic on the market, on these ones to watch cards, especially on the higher tier, that's where you would wanna watch, right? Lukaku wants to watch, right? The big name cards that are not gonna get packed that much, Rodrigo, who is up because of the Benzema SBC, but still getting a double upgrade here in the next couple of weeks. Sane, right? Sinaldo, Robertson, Marquinhos, even, you know, Tonali, Vidal, players that aren't even getting a double upgrade or any upgrades of the live item wants to watch or road to the knockout type, but still very meta cards, Renan Lodi, right? Chiro and Mobile, or if you're the rule breakers, you think about somebody maybe like Onyeka, still a card that might get packed a little bit, but a card that has a decent amount of demand still, watch out for panic selling on these cards because it's not like that these cards from this pack would be entering the market, tradable, right? This would be, contains one of these players, untradable, and that will of course cause some panic selling, but I think it will also cause some prices to get too low, and then players will bounce back. If you sell your Holland like, oh my goodness, I'm gonna pack Holland out of this SBC pack, and you don't, well, then this card's gonna get bought back after the people that thought they were gonna pack him don't get him, so it's gonna be a quick sell-off and then a rebound in my opinion, and that would honestly happen regardless of whether it's an SBC or whether it's in the store, because if this pack is released in the store as well, whether it's just one-time pack that you can just buy with FIVA points or with coins or whether it's an objective, I mean, seriously, all venues or all ways of getting this card are still all avenues, that's the word I'm looking for, all avenues of EA making this pack available are still out there. We just don't know which one they're gonna do it. It's gonna cause some panic regardless, and if it is an SBC, then I 100% think that SBC fodder would rise for that. Now, a lot of people saw fodder get pretty low yesterday, and let's talk about SBC fodder for a second. A lot of these cards got pretty cheap. Now, I don't know if any of them have Riven back up at all, but with the supply from yesterday on Sunday, again, we had the Flash SBCs, we had more lightning rounds every single hour, promo packs getting spanned on this game once more. Lewandowski was like 58K at one point. I think right now he's about 60, 62. You had 86's get low. Basically all of your higher tier fodder, 86's, all the way up to the Lewandowski at 92 rated were pretty low. 88 rated were like 23,000 coins. 87's were like 16K on bid. The 86's were like 11, 10 to 11,000 coins on bid. So if you got some SBC fodder, today at rewards might be another opportunity to look into some of this stuff. If you haven't bought any higher tier fodder yet, and you wanna just do a little bit of a club stock, I think again, rewards today on bid might be a great time. Maybe even today on Monday, depending on what content they drop, this stuff could still stay kind of low, but this is a really, really good opportunity to put some of this in your club and then wait for the next couple of weeks as we have SBCs after Black Friday. Maybe a new icon, SBC, whether it's a mid icon, SBC, or a base icon player pick. That's just gonna, of course, this market has coins, and people are gonna have the facilities to go do SBCs. So when they put out big ones like that, that would make this fodder rise after the Black Friday supply is over. So it's a big time of supply right now, so stocking a little bit of that fodder is a great shout. 82s, 83s, 84s, 85s, that stuff is still a little bit inflated, so I would hold off on buying any of that right now. In my opinion, I still think that can go a little bit lower once we have some of these SBCs that are in here right now, like Benzema, like the team of the week upgrade. A lot of these Black Friday packs, like the 85 plus guaranteed and stuff like that, is kind of making that lower tier edge of fodder rise up a little bit, because it's required in some of these SBCs. So that's just kind of my opinion on that at the moment, but a good club stock of the 86s and above could do you very well right now as I did yesterday. I've got like a million coins actually, over a million coins in a club stock of the higher tier stuff, and some purchases of like ones to watch cards and road to the knockouts that are getting upgraded in this next week. I picked up two Hakimis yesterday at 300, and 10K basically. One of them I picked up at 305 on a bit of a snipe, and the other one was at 310 or 311. You can see that Hakimi and PSG actually clinched the five wins that he needs to get that wins to watch upgrade. So Hakimi is gonna be getting a plus one on Wednesday. There's a lot of cards that are getting a plus one.  But what you've seen is people wait till they get that fifth win, and then they sell the card, like somehow thinking it's gonna get upgraded right away. But this Hakimi dropped down, we saw the same thing with Upamakano on Saturday.  So I'm hoping this Hakimi is back up to like 350, 360, again later on this week. And I'll probably look to take the cash before the card upgrades. So then of course once the card upgrades, people are probably gonna look to sell this card. Also a tall is out right now, so I wanna make sure that I take the cash on what I'm sure is a very still invested in card at this moment. So that's kind of a good movement that if you did get involved there, that was a GG. And on this market right now, it just feels like a lot of people, a lot of stuff is stagnant. A lot of these cards aren't dropping that much. Now Hollins 505, he got really high yesterday. I think there's some hype for him. But you can see he was reaching lows of 470, went up to like 530, and he's been consistently in the low to mid 500s. So I really wouldn't wanna buy this again until he's like back in the 480K range to be completely honest. A lot of stuff just seems to be holding a pretty high price. Even these summer, keep selling them summer signings, man. They're not, they're signature signings. Even these cards really haven't dropped. Benyeter is still 900K. De Bruyne is still over 800. Renato Sanchez is still about 700,000 coins. There's really no reason for people to sell cards, right? People just bought their teams earlier this weekend and they were waiting for so long to get coins to buy teams that it really just does not make them, they don't feel like they have to sell. There's no insane, and there's a lot of content that's out right now, but nothing like preview packs, right? No preview packs are threatening the worth of their items that are in their club. So there really is no reason to panic sell. If that Black Friday party bag pack were to be released today, I think that could cause some panic. That's like the number one thing that I could see today on Monday, causing a little bit of panic. The other thing would be a preview pack, right? And now a lot of people were expecting preview packs this weekend, myself included. I thought they were gonna include preview packs as a part of the Black Friday promo, and this is again kind of their last day to do it. I'm starting to wonder now, if it doesn't come today, then this would really cement the idea in my mind that preview packs are literally just gonna be saved until people don't expect them, right? We had the base icon SBC three weeks ago and they dropped preview packs like every other day, crashing the market every single day that they did that. Nobody was expecting it then, right? We were expecting a big SBC and bam, they dropped preview packs with it. So right now everybody's expecting preview packs, so what's gonna make them want to actually drop those? Now, for EA, it would still make sense for them to drop some big packs because there are a lot of promo cards that are in the store and maybe they'll wait until after a week and leave rewards today. When people buy some of their week in league, using their week and leave rewards and the coins that they get from those rewards, maybe they're gonna say, all right, we're gonna wait for people to go out and buy cards to the teams, then drop this preview pack and crash the market. I don't know. And there's still 100 and 125 preview packs, 125K preview packs that are in the code. So those can drop at any time, but it just seems like EA knows we're expecting it. So they're gonna wait until we're not, right? It's just kind of a very interesting situation. I feel like one of our last chances for those preview packs could be today as well as a part of the Black Friday promo because today's the last full day, right? These cards, the best of team of the week and the signature signings cards, they go out of packs tomorrow on Tuesday. Tomorrow on Tuesday at 6 p.m., it's over, right? And if you look in the SBC section, I think there's a decent amount of SBCs that are expiring at that time as well. A lot of your upgrade packs, three days remaining. So I don't really expect this promo to go further on than Tuesday. After Tuesday, it's gonna be a cutoff. There's gonna be a few SBCs that probably linger. And then it's probably gonna be a loading screen Wednesday, Thursday, and then we're gonna have a brand new promo on Friday whether it's Team The Group stage or Foot Freeze. We don't know. But we are getting towards the end of this promo. So just watch out for some panic selling today. Like, I know we have best of team of the week too that is in packs right now and a lot of these cards keep moving in price a ton. If there's gonna be any panic today on a Monday, it's gonna be because of preview packs or because of this Black Friday pack, the party bag, right? Those are the two things that I would expect to cause panic today. But if there's none of that, it might be kind of a quiet Monday. And I don't expect to see any crazy content today besides maybe some lightning rounds and besides promo packs in the store. Flash SBCs, as far as we know it, are done. EA tweeted out this last Flash SBC like an hour before me recording this. It's an 80 plus triple pack. I guess this is like the only outside shot that EA would release this Black Friday pack as a Flash SBC Friday night. It was like 4 a.m. Saturday morning. So like it was the last Flash SBC that they did. Late Friday night, early Saturday morning, they dropped a 50K pack for like an hour when nobody was awake. If they drop this SBC as a Flash SBC, like during the night hours when nobody is awake or very few people, no disrespect to my Australian audience and to those on that side of the world that are like, yo, this is what we're on the game. But that would be kind of crazy. They kind of like, that would kind of suck to be honest because a lot of us are sleeping when that SBC was released on Saturday morning early, like 4 30 a.m. UK time. So hopefully they don't do that again. And hopefully this comes as like a specific set SBC. I think that's my prediction on what this Black Friday pack would come. But who knows, EA can do anything. They can put anything in the game that they want. Again, we've seen it this year more than ever. They just literally, they don't care. They'll do whatever they need to do to get that breaded to make that money that they need to make. So if you're trading on the market right now, icons are a good place. What's 645 on bid, man? Icon bids. Are you kidding me? That was a ridiculous price. 720 for Rio is getting pretty low. So a few of these cards have dipped down in the week of the sell-off. I just flipped to Ronaldinho for a small profit. I'm just taking a look at icons because in a market right now where a lot of people have coins, they're not gonna be afraid to try cards out and to buy cards that they have not been able to afford and just to mess around with the coins that they do have. So man, I guess take a look at your icon bids. I got a bid on Del Piero last night. That was a good deal. Guess I'm gonna be watching my late night bids a little more closely because that was a crazy deal there on Ferdinand. It's like 100K up, man. Or 100K down. You can sell that for 740 or 750 later on today, most likely. So that's kind of the video for today, right? It's really looking into the last day of this promo. I don't expect anything insane today. The only thing that could be coming would be preview packs or this Black Friday pack. And that's just the big question mark for today. I don't expect a lot from Cyber Monday. Again, we talked through it all. Maybe we see a bit of a rise after the week in the rewards today on some of the market. Again, there's not a big drop off today. I made a bunch of coins on golds from Saturday night into Sunday morning about salas in the low 130s. He went up to like 147 and even now I think he's back down into the 120s. He was 120 flat earlier, now he's 129. So there might be some more movements upwards on the market today. If you see any cards dipped down, whether it's golds, out-of-packs cards, or maybe even the signature signings might rise a little bit after a week in the rewards because that puts coins on the market. But we'll see. It's really just gonna be where the hype is. If there's any leaks, I haven't seen any. That'll be a point of conversation today as well, too, if those kind of get put into the picture. So we will see, man. It's a very interesting Monday. This week is gonna be very interesting as well. Just to talk about this for one second at the end of the video, this Wednesday is gonna be a really, really big day for content on this game. I know the Black Friday promo is gonna be ending, but we have the Wins to Watch upgrade, the biggest batch that we've seen yet of those cards getting upgraded. All these cards will be out-of-packs from Black Friday and Best of Team of the Week. And EA, it'll be December 1st on Wednesday. EA will be giving out those hero packs. If you pre-ordered the ultimate addition of the game, I would be careful with hero cards because I think those hero packs are going to start affecting the market very soon. I don't think there's gonna be, a lot of people are gonna be ripping these on Wednesday when they get gifted out and given out, but that's gonna be a very, that's gonna move a lot of the market, I think. It's gonna cause some people to panic sell. Guys like Keen, Ginola, Dina Talley, Abeddi Pillay. But of course, a lot of people are not gonna pack those cards on Wednesday. So we'll talk about that more as the week goes on. That'll be a place where we'll probably see the market move a lot later on this week. So that's the video for today, boys. If you did enjoy, smash thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you are new. It has been Nathan Foot Account and I will catch you guys later. Peace.


The short version is that in metaphysics, metaphysics is the science of what is, it's the study of what is. Einrand held that reality is what it is. Sounds obvious, but a lot of philosophers think that reality is in a sense a creation of our own consciousness. Or it's a creation of somebody else's consciousness, God or whatever. But for reality is what it is. A is A, to quote Aristotle. The law of identity holds, the law of causality holds, things act according to their own identity and the identity is firm. So that's metaphysics. In epistemology, the study of knowledge, she held that reality is knowable. It's knowable through reason, through our senses and through our reasoning faculty, our faculty of reason. It's not knowable through your emotions. It's not knowable through revelation. And it's not as modern philosophy would teach us, unknowable. Most modern philosophers believe, we don't know what reality really is. We just know what we pretend reality is or we make up reality. And so she was a huge advocate of reason, of the ability of human beings to understand no reality, abstract format, create, you know, form concepts from it and ultimately manipulate nature for our own means. And then of course, the question is, who reasons? Just like we don't have a collective stomach, so nobody else can eat for you. We don't have a collective brain. There's no collective consciousness. Nobody can eat for you. And it's also true that nobody can think for you. You have to do your own thinking. Indeed, she argues that the life depends on you doing your own thinking. So for Rand, the individual is the unit that matters, because it is the unit that thinks, it is the unit that's alive. And so her morality, her ethical code is an ethics of, it's an ethics of egoism. It's an ethics of self interest. The purpose of your life is your life. It's your flourishing. It's your survival. It's ultimately your happiness. Indeed, your moral purpose of your life is your own happiness. To contrast with the common view, which the ethical purpose of your life is to sacrifice for others, particularly if they're needy, particularly if they're weak. So everybody else is important, you're not. For Rand, you're important.  Other people are value because they contribute to your life. So she was not a believer in sacrificing to others, but she was also not a believer in sacrificing other people to you. Every individual is an end in himself. Every individual is striving to happiness. Sacrifice is not appropriate in terms of human interaction. The way human beings should interact is through the process of trade with a spiritual material. And then the question is, okay, the next kind of issue in philosophy is politics. Well, if the purpose of your life is your happiness, what political system is most appropriate for individuals seeking their happiness? Well, here you have to answer the question, well, how do you seek your happiness? The appropriate way for human beings to seek happiness is by using their mind, by using their reason. It is their means of survival. It is their faculty of knowing the world. Every value that we have is a product of human reason. Somebody's reasoning, somebody's thinking, everything we have around us, somebody thought and produced. So what is the enemy of reasoning, of thinking, of using your mind? Well, force, coercion, authority. So how do we create a political system where we don't have force, coercion, authority? That's, we have to have the concept of individual rights, which basically bridges morality to politics. So Jessica says, your life is yours. You have the freedom to pursue the values that you deem necessary for your survival, rationally using reason. Nobody can use force against you. That's the meaning of rights. The right to life is the right to pursue your values, free of coercion. And of course, the political system that institutionalizes individual rights is capitalism. The system in which the government's only job is the protection of individual rights. So she rejects socialism or any kind of statism where the state is more important than the individual, where the state imposes its well individual. So fascism, the mixed economy, statism, the world is what we have today. All those political systems she rejects, she believes in a pure form of capitalism, the only kind of form of capitalism, capitalism, where the only role of government is to protect your rights and your life. And on top of that, she also has a theory of aesthetics of art, why it's important for your life, why art is crucial, why you shouldn't live without art, and what is good art, what is bad art, and how does art fulfill the need. But in that sense, she's one of the few philosophers in human history that has a view on all the key questions in philosophy. She's a system builder. She's not just a like Locke who's primarily a political philosopher, but she has a view and an original view and a new view on pretty much every key question the philosophers have been asking for the last 3000 years. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual, would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, wins or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of the stare, cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist Okay.

Hello Earth citizens. In this video, I will show you a 10 minute routine to do for an upset stomach or indigestion. So when you have an upset stomach or indigestion, it's typically in this area over here, and it kind of bleeds down. So I will do a routine to kind of help you loosen up any tension, blockage you have in your stomach, your third chakra, and then your intestinal tract down here. Okay. So I recommend doing this sitting down on a chair. If it's very uncomfortable, you can do lying down, but actually you'll get a better stimulation, better massage if you do it sitting up rather than lying down. Okay.  Two more breaths, breathe in, and exhale. One last time, breathe in. When you exhale, try to let everything sink from your shoulders all the way down your torso to your tailbone. Okay. Now gently open your eyes and now make a fist. So tuck your thumbs in, roll your fingers around your thumb, and then with the pinky side, gently tap your third chakra here at the base of your diaphragm right here. Gently, very lightly. As if you're lightly knocking on a door to open, just very lightly. Now the first instinct when you have pain here is to punch up your shoulders. Okay. If you notice your shoulders going up, bring your shoulders down and lightly tap, lightly tap, keep your jaws slightly open, exhale out through your mouth, very lightly with the intention of breaking up small blockages that might be in your third chakra right now. The key is to exhale out through your mouth. Okay. Release any blockage. And also is your spine straight. If you hunch over like this, you're closing your third chakra. So make sure your spine is straight, your third chakra is open. Let's tap here for one minute. Breathe out through your mouth, lightly tap. If you feel pain, say it to yourself, I love my pain. You can make sound too if it helps you release some tension. Let's go 30 more seconds. Feel your third chakra. You might feel like you're tensing up because it's painful. Release the tension. I know it sounds counterintuitive and pretty difficult, but when you feel yourself crunching, open your third chakra. Let's go 10 seconds, 10, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, stop. Now move your hands to your left side of your body. I think this is mirror image for you, but from here, the left side is your stomach area. Okay. So right above your stomach, which is at the base of your rib cage, right here, let's tap your stomach with the same kind of lightness, like you're trying to release tension from a tight stomach. Okay. When you tap, you'll notice your stomach wanting to crunch because there's pain there. Go against that kind of instinct and relax, release your stomach like you're like that. Okay. So tap here, tap your stomach. Again, open your stomach. Don't crunch like this. Open, lightly tap. When you tap, send love to your stomach. I love you, my stomach.   Is your stomach relaxing or are you tensing up? Relax your stomach, relax your shoulders, lightly tap. 30 seconds. Love my stomach. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and stop. Now let's go down to your lower abdomen, two inches below your navel, two inches inside. Tap. Tap here. This is the center of your body.  Imagine this one, you're tapping a little bit stronger to ground your energy. Tap into your lower abdomen. Breathe out. One minute here too. Tap deeply here in your lower abdomen to ground your energy. Exhale out through your mouth. 30 seconds. If you have the movement down, I recommend closing your eyes so you can focus on your body. Exhale out any tension from your body through your mouth. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and stop. Good. Now we're going to go top right side. So top right here is your liver. So here lightly tap. Like you tap lightly up here. On the top right side, your liver, this is mirror image for you. On the top right side, tap your liver as if you are stamping loving energy into your liver. Gently knocking on your liver to release blockage. Exhale out through your mouth. I love my liver. Your liver is your body's filter. So it filters out all the food, vitamins, all the things that are toxic for your body. It filters it out. So please send loving healing energy to your liver for one minute. 30 seconds.  It's very natural for us to kind of crunch up. Go against that instinct and open. Relax. Tell your body it's okay. It's okay. I can allow my body to open. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, stop. Now the last point we will tap is between the third chakra and the second chakra right in the middle here. This is where your small intestines are. Okay. So right in the middle, tap. Again, push out from the back so you can open rather than crunching in like this. Okay. Push from the back. Open one minute here too.  Tap lightly to open, open, say hello. I'm here. Tap and exhale out for one minute. Notice your shoulders. Are your shoulders relaxed? Is your small intestine relaxing an opening? Breathe out. 30 seconds. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and stop. Okay. Now we're going to do a little bit of a massaging. So again, this is your mirror image, but get from the bottom right side of your body. Bottom right side. Move up, over, and down like this to the bottom left side. So again, from the bottom right, up, over, and down. Let's do this five times from here. Bottom right, up, across, one, and with your fingers, try to push like you're massaging something through. Let's go to up, across, and down. Three, up, across, and down. Four, across so you can feel your colon here, and down. Number four, up, across, you feel your colon, and down. One more time. Up, across, and down. Okay. Now with your palms without pushing, start from your lower abdomen and now gently rub clockwise, clockwise, and say to your hands and to your intestines, my hands are healing hands. Like this. Gently rubbing your abdomen. You can close your eyes to feel your body a little bit better. Feel the movement of your palms around your abdomen and please say my hands are healing hands. My hands are healing hands. Move your hands with intention as if they really are healing hands, sending healing energy to your intestines. My hands are healing hands. My hands are healing hands. Hands are healing hands. My hands are healing hands. Feel the warmth of your palms on your abdomen. My hands are healing hands. You may feel some tingling if you're sensitive to energy. Feel healing energy coming from your hands and to your intestines. My hands are healing hands. My hands are healing hands. My hands are healing hands. Let's say this to each other three more times. My hands are healing hands. My hands are healing hands. My hands are healing hands. Great job. Place your hands on your lower abdomen. Keep your eyes closed. Feel your lower abdomen. Feel your breath. Notice any energy sensation in your body such as tingling, warmth, coldness, magnetism. Feel the depth and length of your breath. Maybe you can feel your heartbeat too. Notice any sensations in your body. And one last time, tell yourself, my hands are healing hands. Take a breath in through your nose. Exhale out through your mouth. Again, breathe in through your nose. Exhale out through your mouth. One last time, breathe in. Bend your upper body forward. Exhale and return. Open your eyes. How do you feel? If you feel, if you still feel a little bit of tension in your abdomen, that's okay. Feel free to watch this 10-minute routine again to get more energy circulating and moving in your gut so that you can feel that relaxation. But here, after you do this routine one time, can you feel even a slight difference? Maybe your body feels more relaxed, something feels a little bit more moving, something feels a little bit more warm in your hands. Notice any changes you feel after having done this routine once. And if you feel like you need a little bit deeper of a stimulation, feel free to watch this 10-minute routine again. You did a great job.

Give me an introduction and we'll get into our study. We're looking at verses 13 and 14 here in Ephesians chapter one. We're looking at being sealed by the Holy Spirit. And so as is my normal way of giving Bible studies, let me give you some introductory comments. Then we'll move on into the study and see what the Lord has for us tonight. So let's begin by saying Paul has been instructing the Ephesians concerning what they have in Jesus Christ. And we've gone through this, but let me remind you they've been chosen. They are adopted. They're redeemed. They've been forgiven of their sins. They've obtained a heavenly inheritance and they are to the praise of his glory. So all of these incredible blessings is the result of their coming to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He said that they who were once far off had been brought near by the blood of Jesus Christ. He says that in chapter two verse 13. So this is how he begins the section by saying, in him you also trusted. So when he begins by saying in verse 13, in him you also trusted. We need to remember that the Gentiles are trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Jews did. He said the Jews were at one time the recipients of the grace of God, but he's saying you too have received that grace. So as I've been going through this with you, I've reminded you that the Gentiles originally were not considered the people of God. God called Israel to be his own special people, but he did not call the Gentiles in that way. Now he didn't intend to ignore Gentiles. He determined to include them in his plan and that was realized when the church was born and resulted by faith in Jesus Christ. In Romans nine 25 and 26, Paul said, as he says also in Hasea, I will call them my people who were not my people and her beloved who was not beloved and it shall come to pass in the place where it was said of them, you are not my people. There they shall be called sons of the living God. And so he develops this and we'll see this in chapter two and chapter three much more. But he's speaking concerning how these Ephesians who are Gentiles have entered into the kingdom of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. And that's what he says in verse 13. Notice he says that they had trusted in Jesus after hearing the word of truth. In our day, somebody asked the question, is it important to share the gospel? There are those who believe that you can enter into heaven by living a good life or doing your best to obey God. There are people who say this person is a good person and somebody once said the only person who was ever a good person was Jesus Christ and they crucified him. And so the scripture says there is none good, no not one. Every one of us is tainted with a sin nature. And so we need a new nature, we need to be born again. And so no, you don't enter into heaven through good works or attempting to do something to earn a position in heaven. You don't enter into heaven by trying your best to obey God. And Paul has made it clear that that doesn't happen because you can't work your way into heaven. In the book of Galatians in chapter two, verses 20 and 21, he said it like this. He said, I've been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God for if righteousness comes through the law, Christ died in vain. So Paul makes it clear that people need to trust in Jesus. And in order to trust in Jesus, they need to hear the gospel. And that's why we're to share this message. That's why it's been called the Great Commission. In Romans 10, verse 14, it says, how then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And so it's our calling as believers to take this message out. So yes, it is important to proclaim the gospel. You see, these Gentiles have been saved because they heard the gospel and trusted in Christ. Notice here that the gospel is referred to as the word of truth. Now in various places, God's word is spoken of as word of truth. For example, Psalm 119, verse 160, where the psalmist said, the entirety of your word is truth. And every one of your righteous judgments endures forever. Or in the New Testament, 2 Timothy, chapter two, verse 15, where Paul said, do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. And James in chapter one, verse 18 says it like this, he chose to give us birth through the word of truth that we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created. Now, when he speaks here in this verse of the word of truth, it's called the word of truth because it's the message of reality. It's something you can trust. And that entrusting will result in an entirely new way of life. In John 17, verse 17, Jesus said it like this, sanctify them by your truth. Your word is true. That's where the transformation comes from. It's by embracing God's word that declares to you God's savior, Jesus Christ. And God's promises that he gives to us by his word. And when you embrace his word by faith, you can do that because it's true. It's not a word of I hope or maybe or perhaps it's word of truth. And we as believers present the gospel in that way. So he says in verse 13, you heard the word of truth. He calls it the gospel of your salvation. So the gospel of truth has informed you concerning the one who is truth. What is it that Jesus said of himself? I am the way, the truth and the life. And so the gospel presents to us that one who is truth. And so this word of truth is in fact the gospel and it's the gospel of salvation. He's saying you heard the word as it revealed the God of salvation. And as it revealed the God of salvation, you also trusted in him because you trusted that the message was true. You believed in the one revealed in the gospel. That's how you were saved. It revealed to you that God sent Jesus to save you. And you believed in Acts chapter four verse 12. We read neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no, no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. It's the gospel of truth that we present where we say God was in Christ, took upon himself the sin of the world, died on a cross, was buried, but the third day rose again from the dead. 40 days later he ascended into heaven. He sits at the right hand of the Father and from there he's going to return and take us to be with him. This is the message of the gospel and the good things, the good news that we find within that message. And notice he says in verse 13 again he says in whom you also having believed he said you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. You were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. So we're going to be looking today at the sealing of the Holy Spirit. So he's saying when you believe the message, when you trusted in Christ, God sent you his Holy Spirit. Now, all of us know this, but let me say it, there, there is a difference and this is the difference between having a religious faith and being born again. To have a religious faith doesn't require a person to be a believer. You might find that interesting, but it's true. The religious faith may simply be a code of life that's built on religious principles. And so they speak concerning themselves that's having a religious faith. But in fact, what they have is a belief in certain principles or things that they hold fast to and agree with others that this must be true. But that's not necessarily a saving faith. It simply means that you agree on certain things that these things may very well be so. But to be a Christian requires a person to be born again. And you're born again by the Spirit of God. And when you receive Christ as your Lord and Savior, the Bible says that your body actually becomes God's temple. It's interesting. I was sharing this the other day some place elsewhere. I was pointing out that in the days of Israel, when Israel was called by God to be separate from the world around around them, the world around Israel during that day was filled with idolatry. And so all the peoples that the Jews were around, all those peoples were idolaters. They had gods that they fashioned with their own hands out of wood or out of stone. But God called the children of Israel and said, you shall have no graven image. So they were unique in their day and in the place that they were in that they were the ones who who worshipped what was called the invisible God.  You shall not make unto yourself an image out of wood and out of stone. And so amongst all the people that Israel lived, they were the unique people who did not have idols. They would not have them. Now in their nation's history they fell into periods where they were idolaters, but that was against the commands of God. And so eventually what God did is God gave to them the law of Moses and ultimately he gave to them the permission to build a temple. We know that King David wanted to build the temple, but God wouldn't allow him to because he was a man of war. His hands were bloody. And so he said, it's good that you had in your heart the desire to build me a temple, but I never asked you to do that. Have I ever said to you I want a temple? No, it's good that it's in your heart, but I never requested or commanded that of you.  So what I'm going to do is I will have a temple built for me, yes, but it's going to come through Solomon your son. And then after that temple is built, they had a tabernacle at one time, a portable place of worship. After that temple had been built that the nation of Israel would assemble the males of a certain age over 20 would come. They were required three times a year to come and to worship in that temple if at all possible. So the Jews would come to the temple and they kept coming to the temple from the time of Solomon all the way to the time of Christ. So during the time of Christ, what happens is Jesus takes upon himself human flesh. God dwells amongst men and God, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh brings the message of the gospel ultimately dies on a cross. He's buried his sins in to heaven after resurrection. And from that point on what happened is on the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit fell on 120 that were waiting and in prayer. And now they became the temples of the spirit of God. And so we're at one time the people came to the temple. Now the temple is to go to the people. And that's what we're supposed to be doing.  So people don't go to temple. We have become the temple. And as the temple of God his spirit dwelling within us, we go forth with a message saying to others that Christ can dwell in you and the Holy Spirit can make you a temple, the temple of God. But you need to have Christ. If you don't have Christ, you don't have a relationship with God. In Romans chapter eight, verse nine, the second portion of that verse, Paul said, if anyone doesn't have the spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. And so you need to be born again. You need to have the spirit of God dwelling within you. Because if you don't, you don't belong to him. Well, notice in verse 13 again, how he speaks of the Holy Spirit. He speaks of the Holy Spirit as the spirit of promise. So he's called the Holy Spirit of promise because God promised to send him in Isaiah 44, verse three, God had said in the Old Testament book of Isaiah, I will pour water upon him who was thirsty and floods upon the dry ground.  In the Old Testament book of Joel in chapter two, verse 28, the prophet said it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh.  Your old men shall dream dreams. I've been dreaming a lot lately. Your young men shall see visions. Well, Jesus spoke of this promise in Luke 12 49, when he said, behold, I send the promise of my father upon you, but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you're endued with power from on high. So this promise that was given, the promise of the father was fulfilled on the day of Pentecost. Now, one of the works the spirit of God performs is the work of sealing the believer. And that's what he's referring to here in verse 13, when he says again, in him you also trusted after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation in whom also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. You were sealed. Now, we speak of the sealing of the believer. It speaks of the practice of closing parcels that were being shipped. And they would put wax on the parcel and it would be be warm. And so they would put wax on the parcel. And then a person would have a signet ring, and they would use that ring that had an imprint that was symbolic of the family of that person. And so after dropping the hot wax on the seal and to seal that that package, they would put their their signet ring on it like that. And in doing so, they were imprinting it. And so if I had a parcel of the ship during that day, what I would do is I would go to the place to send it off will say at a port, and I would seal it with my signet ring, and then I would send it. Afterwards, I would go to the port that I had sent it to, and I would claim it. And the way that I would claim it is I would show my rings imprint as proof. And the imprint of that ring was proof of ownership. So after showing the imprint, I would claim the parcel as my own. And that's what Paul is referring to when he writes concerning being sealed with the spirit. God has sealed us, and we belong to him. I'll give you some more about that and develop that a little bit further. In Scripture, sealing has at least three connotations. One, it represents a finished transaction that reveals that reveals a completed purchase. You see that in the Old Testament book of Jeremiah 32, verses 9 and 10, where it says, I bought the field from Hanamal, the son of my uncle, who is in Chinu, I'm sorry, in Anatop, and weighed out to him the money, 17 shekels of silver. And I signed the deed and sealed it, took witnesses and weighed the money on the scales. So sealing one represents a finished transaction. Second, it reveals proof of ownership. So remember when Jesus died on the cross and he purchased us, he paid our debt in full. And in doing so, he really owns us. In John 19, verse 30, it says, when Jesus received the vinegar, he said, it is finished. It is finished is a single Greek word to telastide. And that literally means paid in full. So when Jesus died on the cross and he cried out to telastide, he cried out, it is completed. It is finished. The debt has been paid. And the debt has been paid on the cross when Jesus poured out all of his blood for us. And so in 2 Timothy 2, verse 19, Paul said, nevertheless, the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal, the Lord knows those who are His and let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity. So God owns us. When Jesus died on the cross, he said, the debt is paid. There's nothing to be added to this. There's no work that you can ever do. There's no great sacrifice I could ever perform that would be better than what he did on the cross. That's why it's just wrong for me to think that I, through my works, could perform something that Jesus himself couldn't. Jesus died on the cross for me so that because I couldn't do it, because I'm not good enough, because no matter how hard I try, I always fail. The will is within me, but the ability to perform that which I desire is not. And that's why Paul would say, oh, Richard, man, that I am, who will save me from this body of death? And goes on to say thanks be to God through Jesus Christ, is the Lord who does it for us. See, now that's called Christian faith.  No, fact is the Lord knows those who are His and the ones who belong to Him depart from iniquity. Your life demonstrates that you actually know Him. And then finally, sealing represents security in Christ. The package makes the journey and is claimed when it arrives at its destination. And that's what happens to us as believers. God has given His promise to us. By faith, we believed and by faith we were saved. I don't know where it happened for you, wherever it was. Maybe you were raised as a Christian. Thank God you were raised in a Christian home. For all of you who are raised in a Christian home, you ought to thank God every day if you gave your heart to Christ in an early, early age.  She said, I was raised in a Christian home and I haven't ever really done anything that bad. In other words, they're not going to write any books or make movies about her and her neighborhood. That's not going to happen. And I remember the pastor, after she had shared that, walked up and he says, remember this always. And some of you may want to hear this, perhaps somebody watching tonight. He said this, and I've never forgotten this. He said, the keeping grace of God is just as beautiful as the saving grace. Never forget that. You know, if you were raised in a in a godly environment, thank God for that. But then again, some of us weren't. Some of us were raised in homes that didn't have a relationship with the Lord. And you heard this message called the gospel. And, and it was like deep, calling into deep. Something there began to tug at something here. And you may not have understood every single thing that you were hearing at that time, but you did know something. You did know you were lost. You did know you had sin.  And I don't know how you came to faith in Christ, whether it was again at home, whether it was in a church service, maybe it was listening to a message on the radio. You came to faith. God brought you to faith in him. Years ago, I went to New York and while I was in New York doing a radio rally in upstate New York outside of Rochester in a place called the Finger Lakes. After the study, I had walked down to the front, which just visiting with people, those who were listening to us on the radio and all in a guy walks up to me and he says to me, he goes, I want to talk to you for a moment. And I said, of course, he goes, I want you to know that he said I was driving. And as I was driving, he said, because that's what I do for my job. I'm a salesman and I go from place to place, call to call. He said, I was, you know, just going through the radio and and I fell upon this station and and I heard this guy talking. And I thought it was a talk show. He said, I thought it was a talk show. And so as I'm listening to this guy talk, he said, I started arguing with him. He said, because I thought this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. And he said, and so he said, I noted what time it was. And I noted what channel it was. And the next day I turned it on again at the same time. And I kept arguing with him. I just kept arguing with him. And he said, I did it again and again and again. He said several days on until he said, finally, I came to realize this isn't a talk show. This is a Christian radio program. He didn't know that he says. And now he says, I came to realize that as I was listening, he said, God spoke to my heart. He said in that radio program was yours. And he said, and I gave my heart to Jesus Christ by arguing with you about what truth is. You know, I just want to shake your hand and say hello.   But you see, it's it's it's how the Holy Spirit works. The Holy Spirit begins to to tongue on your heart.  But before you know it, it's broken by him. And then you open your heart and say, God, I need a healed heart because my heart is so messed up. And that's what happens. And so you heard the gospel, you gave your heart to Christ, you got saved. And that's what he's speaking about. And the result of coming to faith, becoming that temple is your sealed with the Holy Spirit. Now he goes on in verse 14. And he says, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession to the praise of his glory? Who is the guarantee of our inheritance? The guarantee, that word guarantee in the original language is speaking of a pledge. It's a pledge that is paid as a down payment, guaranteeing that the rest will be paid. He's saying that the Holy Spirit is the pledge given to us by God to assure us of the glory of the life to come. You see in Ephesians 4 verse 30, Paul said, do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom he says you were sealed for the day of redemption. You have been sealed by the spirit, by the spirit for the day of redemption. The day of redemption refers to when God claims us in the end as his own. You see, while we're still on planet earth, our redemption is still yet to be totally completed. As we live our lives, we look forward to when we're going to be with Jesus. And in Romans 8, 23, Paul said it like this. He said, not only the creation, but we ourselves who have the first fruits of the spirit grown inwardly as we await eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. So there's still a process taking place that is going to be completed in the yet future. So the sealing of the spirit marks us as belonging to God. It's our guarantee. The guarantee is called the aruban. The aruban is a word that is used in various ways, but it includes an engagement ring. The Holy Spirit is God's engagement ring for you. That's kind of cool, I think. That's kind of cool. It's God's promise, the Holy Spirit of promise. It's God's promise that he will always be ours, and we will always be his. And he doesn't take the ring back. I did. Some of you don't know this story, so I'll say it. Marie and I, I asked Marie to marry me, and I did it at the home of my brother. He used to have a Bible study in Ontario, and I asked some of the original members of the Bible study to come. John's parents were part of the original Bible study I used to do when I first came to Ontario. That's how I grew to know this guy and knowing he's such trouble. That's why I brought him on staff so I could keep an eye on him always. But his mom actually made our wedding cake for Marie and me. So that's how far back we go. But anyway, I'll tell you of this very briefly, because I thought about it while I was sitting there. God doesn't take away his engagement ring than I remembered, but you did. So anyway, so I was there. I have a ring that my father had given to my mom, and he had given my mom this particular ring so that she would marry him. So he used this little ring he had as an engagement ring while it was given to me and I had the ring. And so I was at the Bible study and I read Proverbs 31, Proverbs 31 woman, and I looked at Marie and I said, this is, this is you. And I said, Marie, would you marry me? And I gave her the ring and she put it on. And then I went out and bought a wedding band and an engagement ring and cost me $200. And everybody knows that's pretty cheap.  If she had given me more, she'd have got a better ring. It's really your fault. So she wore that ring for several months. But I was going to college. I was doing so many things. And before you know it, it felt like it was just unfair to keep her waiting. And I still remember sitting in a car with her and looking at her.  I said, I said, I'm going to have to take the ring back. And I did, I took it back. And she handed me my engagement ring back. And I put it in my pocket. And I said, the next time I give you this ring, we'll get married. And so I gave it to her the next week. And we didn't have a big wedding. We had a backyard wedding because I just said, you know what, it's time to pull the trigger. And that's what we did. You know, we just got married in my parents backyard. And the rest is history. They said it would never last, but it did. Well, God doesn't take his engagement ring back. Okay, that's the whole point of the story. God doesn't take his ring back. He gave it and he promised it to us. And it's the Holy Spirit.  In second Corinthians chapter one, verses 21 and 22, it says, he who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God who has also sealed us and given us the earnest of the spirit in our hearts. Now notice again here in verse 14 that Paul once more emphasizes that this is all to the praise of his glory. You see, that's what salvation is all about, bringing praise and glory to God. So the Holy Spirit is the guarantee of coming glory with God. The spirit is a pledge given to assure believers of the glory of the life to come. And the Holy Spirit is intended to awaken us to the fact that this promise is true. It's not a dream. And first John 4.13, we know that we live in him and he in us because he's given us of his spirit. In Romans 8.16, the spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. There are times that you might begin to argue with yourself, I'm not quite sure whether I'm saved. But you know what? The Holy Spirit within begins to actually awaken you to the reality that you are. No, you're not perfect yet. You're not. I am. No, you're not perfect yet. You're not. But you know what, man? Sometimes your heart can condemn you because you see somebody and you say, I'm not like that. Or how come they seem to have more joy than I do? Or God, it seems that their prayers are answered or a mind just goes as high as the ceiling and they seem to fall upon the earth unheard. I don't know. And your heart begins to question. Well, John says, if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart. He knows all things. When the Holy Spirit, when the Lord sealed you, the Holy Spirit of God is within you. There's a sense that I belong to him. And I may not know everything and I don't. And I may not be what I want to be. And I'm not. But I'm not what I used to be. And I'm knowing more now than I ever did. And that's what growing in Christ is. That's what growing in the grace of God and the knowledge of God is.  Don't constantly condemn yourself. God knows your heart. It's desperately wicked, by the way. He knows your heart, but he's greater than it. And his grace is greater. No matter how far you go, his hand will go even lower to lift you out of the Myrie Claim. Never forget that. Never forget that. And there have been times, some of you, perhaps, I have awakened, saying, how could I have been that? How could I have done that? How could I? I was in Mexico. I was a couple of years old. And the Lord had just gotten out of the military and went with some friends on Cinco de Mayo. And we're somewhere in Mexico for a three-day binge. I mean, we drank so much tequila and so much beer as a last weekend. And I remember coming home and it was a Sunday. My sister Madeline was seated across from me at the dinner table at my parents' house. She said, you have a good time this weekend? Oh, Madeline, we had a great time. And I started telling her the craziness that we had been involved in there in Tijuana, in Sonata, actually. The craziness. She said, did you have good time? I said, I had a great time. I had a great time. Then I stopped for a moment. I was 23 years old. I stopped for a moment. And I started to weep. I said, I had a lousy time. I said, Madeline, I have drifted away from Jesus. I can't take this anymore. And I cried. And she and I got in my car. We drove to church that night. And there was an evangelist at the church, and he gave an invitation.  You know it. And if you're that one, I'm speaking to stand to your feet. And I stood to my feet. And that day, I still remember, I stood to my feet. And I said, yes, God. And I turned back to the Lord and kept following him to this day, because my God is good. And His grace is greater than any sin I've ever committed. And it's the Holy. See, if the Spirit of God was not working within you, there wouldn't be a sense of grief. There wouldn't be a sense of sorrow. There wouldn't be a sense of shame. But because you're grieving the Spirit, He makes you aware of that. And that's what it is. And it says, oh, I have a guilty conscience. What you have is conviction. And the Holy Spirit is convicting you. And he's saying, no, this is not what I created you for. You're better than this. I made you in the image of my son. You're better than this. I can do things you need to yield to me. So that Holy Spirit of God has sealed us until the day of redemption. And it awakens us to the fact that we belong to God like it says again in Romans 8 16, the Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit. We are God's children. And so it concludes by saying this is all to the praise of His glory here in verse 14. So, final thoughts. One, we are the purchased possession. In 1 Corinthians 7 verse 23, you were bought at a price. Do not become slaves of men. And second, the work of Christ's redemption will be concluded when we are resurrected. In Romans 8 23, not only so, but we ourselves who have the first fruits of the Spirit grown inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption of sons, the redemption of our bodies. And third, this work is intended to be to the praise of His glory. And this is what salvation is all about. Glorifying God. My Pastor Chuck, and I'll close with this illustration, the story he gave. I heard it so many years ago, touched my heart. Some of us grew up with different little fables and stories. Well, he took a particular story and changed it a bit. About the gingerbread, the gingerbread man.  It's a story. And as he made the gingerbread man, the story goes, the gingerbread man actually came to life. And the gingerbread man ran out the door and ran down the street, run, run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me. I'm the gingerbread man. You remember that? And so here goes the old man running down the street to get the gingerbread man. And finally he catches up to the gingerbread man. And Chuck's version of the story was, and he took him and he says, I made you. You're round from me. I chased you. I caught you. You belong to me. Well, that's us, isn't it? Run, run, run just as fast as you can. Well, he can catch you. You're not the gingerbread man. But that's what the hound of heaven does. The Holy Spirit pursues you to the darkest corners, to the lowest places. And the Holy Spirit pursues you. And there you are by yourself, weeping alone, rejected, sorrowful, hurt. And he says, okay, are you ready?  And then you look up and you say, but look what I've done. And God says, I can make all things new. I can make all things new. Don't you know that the one who's in Christ is a new creation. All things are passed away. Behold, all things are become new. Don't you know that? My Holy Spirit, God says through his word, has sealed you into the day of redemption. It's a guarantee that I will be with you forever, forever.  So as children of the most high, may we live lives to give glory to him. For again, he said, that's what salvation is all about.  Father, we ask that you would

These are big players a multi-billionaire Meat industry media moguls Controlling the thought of the public That's not even a conspiracy That's not even a conspiracy theory This is this is well Well, it is kind of a conspiracy for them to to pollute the minds of the masses for their you know Their ends, but that's not even a conspiracy theory We have proof You know what I mean? We have proof And it's far that the the extent to how far it stretches like into politics money talks man a like You know, I know I was a drug dealer. I was a drug dealer for years and a gangster. You know what I mean? like I Know what money what money does it corrupts? It corrupts people. You know you throw enough money at someone Dude, and you start playing with someone's money I mean, it's just like it's the number one corruption like Poison in society is money, isn't it like I kind of knew it like I kind of knew that media was run by me industry kind of knew it like but But now as there's no doubt Now there's no doubts at all. It's just like you find obvious like things like that out. It's like wow.  And you've got 10,000 subs Well, you got an Instagram with like 3,000 followers and you could You can promote your message to those 3,000 people imagine owning media Imagine owning media what you can promote and How many people I can control? the perception of Millions tens of millions of people with media and Then no, it's not a democracy. This is a hierarchy This is a hierarchy You have a chairman an owner of a media company. That's not democracy. He calls the shots You know what I'm saying? You know I'm saying One guy calls the shots for a whole media outlet. That's hierarchy You think that you got you call the shots over the boss. That's not how it works At the end of the day the boss that makes the call and if this boss is a meat mogul Who's making who's calling the shots here the meat mogul? He's got a million hectares of cattle land a million. Do you know looked up what a hectare is I? Think one hectare is a square kilometer a million square kilometers You know what that is that's how much land this guy earns for grazing cattle Poor kept poor cows.    They they be a billionaire No much of billion dollars is Billionaires have political tires Because what what are politics listen to like your politicians are the humans They need they need a bit of cash Politicians want to make some cash You know, I mean not everyone has this, you know purpose driven life where they want to do good Some people just want to make some cash and kick back, you know, maybe some hookers in a hotel You know, not everyone wants to change the world. So billionaires have like so much political influence Billionaire meat mogul media Mafia bosses had political influence. So if he can to throw in some pebbles Vegans are throwing pebbles pebbles. This is like David vs. Goliath You know big vegan start throwing some pebbles they'll pass some laws You know to protect the animal abusers protect the slave owners This is how it works.  This is just going to happen It's too far gone now It's too far gone too many people know about this now, you know, I mean too many people know about this Yeah, there's no reason why these billionaire meat mogul mafia media chairman can't invest in some innovative plant-based Products because of the market the market is huge for it.  There's other ways of making money All they think of is oil and beef cattle dairy Like try something innovative, you know, it's more cost-effective. It's more resource-efficient There's better for heaps of good reasons like they could just make soy milk or instead of Feeding all that soil to cows and all that water to cows using all that land buying all that land for cows That's all money. That's all money. That's not a wise use of money to make profit You know, I mean like there's it also so help them with their their ends of making cash and It also help animals and you know and these people these these billionaire meat moguls, they've got families that will You know inherit the inherit these diseases Diseases of affluence heart disease and cancer You know and then what?  That's what it was. Anyways, that's what I think about all this Like these are real human beings They're not like that. Well, there might be a little bit cold-hearted it about or just indoctrinated But the thing is they're real human beings and it's just crazy.  Oh you those vegans, right?

You don't have to you know pillage decimate Caused so much suffering to humans and animals in the environment just for your billions of dollars that you don't need What do you need with what do you need? billions of dollars for Why do you need billions of dollars?

this session where I will be discussing the course named Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management. This is a course of the Bachelor of Social Work program six semesters and it is divided into two blocks, block one and block two. Organizational behavior is a course that introduces you to the subject of OB and Human Resource Management. This course is designed as where the concepts of organizational behavior and human resource management will be discussed. It will provide an overview of the many dynamics of organizations and the functions of managing human resources. The main three important elements that we see here in this course is that of number one individuals, number two groups and thirdly the structure. It basically comprises organizational behavior management and it is a course that we will discover the management functions such as planning, organizing, staffing and controlling. So we will be discussing organizational behavior and the various aspects that impact the behavior of individuals in an organization. Now when we talk about an organization it might be referring to any commercial or any industrial, any educational or any form of institute where human resources are employed. Therefore it is a commercial organization in which individuals from various cultural background from different psychological perspectives and behavioral aspects all combined together come and work in a particular organization. Therefore since there is a lot of variance and a lot of diversity in an organization the behavior that we see on the part of every individual that ultimately comprises of groups and different sections and departments in the organization we will be able to understand how the individual dynamics and group dynamics work in an organization. Organizational behavior is the study of both groups and individuals performance and activity within an organization. This area of study in the course of exam will be mainly focusing on human behavior in a work environment and determines its impact on job structure, performance, communication, motivation, leadership and other dynamics. So this course has a total of 15 units that is divided into block one and block two. The block one firstly focuses on the introductory concepts of organizational behavior and management. Here development of human resources, of management approaches, motivation, concept of manpower planning and organizing and then management of conflict within organizations and human resource development is focused. In the block two we will see that it concentrates on human resource management, industrial relations, leadership aspects, labor laws, power, politics, conflict management and stress and also how occupational social work is important in the workplace. Now a question might come to you that why this paper on organizational behavior and human resource management which is also part of many bachelor of management and also masters of business administration courses why would be this course an important aspect in the bachelor of social work or social work curriculum. Now let me tell you that social work in the workplace or occupational social work is gaining its importance in today's world. We see a lot of cases of rising stress, workload and also understanding industrial conflict dynamics and other aspects and also when we talked about diversity in the workplace. So in the social work perspective when it has been felt in today's era that the role of a social worker, the role of a counselor is very important in the organizations or in the workplace. Therefore this course is an important one for the curriculum of social work that will help you to have an in-depth understanding about why social work in the workplace or occupational social work is important here. Now let us see what are the blocks that are there what are the units in block one. So in the unit in the block one unit one is named as introduction to organizational behavior, unit two is organizational management, unit three personality and perception, unit four individuals and groups in organizations, unit five dynamics of organization, unit six group and team and unit seven organizational change and number eight leadership. So we see that in this block we are taking into account various elements of organizational behavior. We are talking about how the individuals and the group's behavior impacts the work culture of an organization. Also the perspective of personality types of personality, the power dynamics, how the groups are formed and how groups function in an organization is important. Organizational change here we are talking about various developmental perspectives and also training and development that can lead to a better work environment and better quality of human resource in the organization. Effective leadership is an important part of how who is leading the organization. So therefore who is leading the organization and what kind of leadership is being followed in an organization is very important. Therefore these are the main units that will discuss these different perspectives. Power dynamics is an important aspect that here we see which also you can see as an important cause of conflict in an organization. Therefore these elements have to be understood in an in-depth way. Next in the block two, this block two is mainly talks about human resource management perspectives where we see human resource as an important element or important resource of the organization. There are other resources like capital and other important resources but human resource is said to be one of the important resources or is said to be the backbone of any organization. So here proper planning, manpower planning is important here and that is known as human resource planning. In unit 10 we are discussing on planning and unit 11 on human resource development. Human resource development mainly focuses on training and development and the aspects that needs to be promoted for enhancing the quality of human resources in an organization. There are different HR practices that will be discussed in unit 12 and unit 13 covers an important aspect that is known as industrial relations. Industrial relations mainly talks about the relation between the employees, the employers and also intra-organizational relations that exist in the commercial world. So here industrial relations is important because it helps you to understand the conflict, the cooperation and the different stakeholders of an organization what kind of relationships exist between them for the smooth functioning of the organization that is covered in the aspect of industrial relations or commonly known as IR. So there are different techniques like collective bargaining and various other techniques to bring about cooperation among the employers, employees and to have a smooth functioning of the organization. The 14th unit talks about labor laws or labor legislations like factories act, the ESI act and others. Labor laws here this unit mainly focuses on why labor legislation is important. Labor legislation states the statutory laws that are important to be followed for the welfare of labor or labor welfare. Therefore labor laws are indispensable to this particular course that is OB and HRM. Labor laws are very important to have justice for the workers and also employees rights and also employers rights. Unit 15 focuses on what kind of workforce is needed for an organization and how the Indian labor force is characterized. This unit 15 brings out a perspective which is contextualized in the Indian aspect. So occupational social work and why social work is an important part even in the workplace this will be discussed here. So that is all for this particular session where in this introductory session I have introduced you to this course Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management. It is part of the Bachelor of Social Work six semester course and we have discussed the importance of OB and HR in the social work profession where we understand that the field of social work is expanding day by day and social work in the workplace or industrial social work holds an important place in today's work. Thank you.
