Okay, so we were looking at Word of Wisdom, some things that we need to keep in mind when it comes to Word of Wisdom, how is it received? It is in the same manner as when God speaks. You know this is all, it has that common thing, but there are certain things that could stand out when it comes to a Word of Wisdom. So we need to understand that. So that is why we said it could be an inspired, pre-meditated, unplanned speaking of wisdom. You didn't plan, come with a strategy, but as you began to talk to them about the problem and then here comes the solution. And it is not that you are experienced in this, you are not qualified in it, but then God put that wisdom in your heart and you are just sharing that out. So you see that. Okay, so when it comes to sharing the Word of Wisdom, here are some things that we need to keep in mind. So a Word of Wisdom comes like a council. It's a council, a word that actually solves a puzzle. It could be an instruction. It could be something asking someone to do something. Okay, why don't you try it. So the thing is to keep in mind that we cannot force the person or we should not force the person. Okay, let's say if Joseph said, okay, this is what it is. So go ahead and build those bonds or those storage places. Now if the King said, okay, I don't know. I'm not too sure about that. It's okay. Now Joseph cannot go and force the King or should not. Now, of course, you cannot force someone who's in that place of position of power. But let's say today's world, we are talking maybe among friends or maybe among someone who's come for prayer. You say, okay, this is what God is saying that you need to do this. You need to go here and do it. Don't force that person. Don't say that God has spoken. Do it. Don't force it. Just like how you would submit the word of prophetic word or just submit it and say, this is what it is. But you pray, you ask God and please, you do it accordingly. Okay, submit it again. So do not manipulate. Do not force. Do not compel. Okay, so encourage them in these areas in the sense, see here comes a word of wisdom, but they need to persevere and they need to be diligent to do it. It doesn't mean that it's going to be, you know, if I don't really pursue that. Okay, if the King did not pursue building it, well, then the whole word of wisdom, actually it's not really coming to power. It's not effective. Right. It's not effective. It's a word from God. It's supernaturally imparted, but it's not effective unless I act on it. And if to act on it, I need to be diligent in the sense I need to be focused. I need to, you know, really take those steps. It's going to be work. It's going to be work.  It will happen. I'll just leave it. You know what I'm saying? Okay, this is what you need to do. I mean, take some steps. Maybe I need to learn certain things. Right. Maybe I need to equip myself. I need to upgrade my skills, you know, in order to be able to do it. Right. So don't forget that part of persevering to do something. You know, it could be hard work. It would be diligent work that is required. So we need to do that. Okay. So don't be under pressure to, so that's one thing. And the other thing is don't be under pressure to convince the person to agree. You agree. You agree. You agree. God has spoken. Don't put any emotional pressure. Don't put any, you know, don't blackmail them. Leave it. Don't compel. Don't force. Right. It's a word submitted. You leave it. Like how God would speak to us. It is actually God speaking to man. Right. And he's using us to express himself. So do not compel. Do not force. Leave it at that. Okay. So that's, you know, again, word of wisdom. Right. It's a wisdom, supernaturally important, which could solve, which could be maybe a vice council. And it's like a missing part in a puzzle. Okay. How many of you done puzzles, picture puzzle? Right. All small, small, small pieces you put together. And then and one, you know, maybe a few pieces are not making sense at all. You know, just trying to, you know, go through it and it's not happening. But once you get that, then what happens? The picture is complete. Now you're able to see. Okay. This is what the picture is. Right. So the word of wisdom is like that. It, it is like the last piece or last few pieces in the puzzle. You put it and then the thing becomes complete and it's the council or the wisdom that actually sorts the problem. Right. Okay. So what a wisdom. Let's move on to the next one. Next one is word of knowledge. So when we look at word of knowledge, now this is information. Okay. It is information again. It is not wisdom, but it is information. It could be information about a person's past. It could be a situation about the past or it could be about the present. It usually, right. So it's information, word of knowledge. Again, it's not right from birth till, you know, every information or everything about the person. This is your birthday. This is your phone number. It could be just, it is just a word. Right. It is a part of it. So sometimes people say, you know, against the property and I think this person prophesied so many things, but he didn't know about this, about this person.  Good, bad, ugly, everything. No. It is, that's wrong. Right. That's a wrong conclusion because we know in part and we prophesy in part. Very clear. So it's a part. It's a word. So don't put yourself under pressure. Oh, I didn't know about this person, about this aspect of this person. No, what God revealed, you know, and that is what it is. Right. So it's a word of knowledge. It's information. So what happens is that when there is a word of knowledge given, the person who receives that word of knowledge suddenly realizes, Hey, there is the God in heaven and God knows about me. God loves me. God cares for me. He's not just left me. He knows. He cares. That's what a word of knowledge actually brings. Because you are there. You don't know anything about that person. You might be a stranger, you know, and you're revealing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit some information which is totally, you know, which is new to you. And it is known to them. But then you share that and that person is completely blown away. Why? Because they know that, okay, there is God. He knows, only He knows this and He has revealed this. So He knows me. He loves me. He cares for me. He's involved in my life. So problems, situations from the past that God is trying to address or reveal, solve that those are revealed. And then it gives us information about what God is doing in their life. God is doing this. Don't worry. God is doing this. He's opened the doors. He's opening these things. He is taking you forward. He is leveling out all those mountains. He's doing this at present in your life. You think there's nothing happening, but then God is involved. He is doing it, right? So it reveals what God is doing at present in our lives. He reveals what he's going to do in the future in our lives and so on.  It's a small piece. That's similar to the word of wisdom. Okay. Some old testament examples would be how Saul, Saul donkeys were lost and Samuel gives them that word. Now, Samuel has not gone and found the donkeys, right? Now Saul is searching for those donkeys. And he's searching for them in another place. And this is what Samuel says. Samuel says, Your donkeys that were lost three days ago do not be anxious about them for they have been found. Now in a world where there was no internet, no email, no WhatsApp, whatever, how did Samuel know? Samuel knew by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. He received that information, that word of knowledge. He received from God himself, right? So word of knowledge, we see that.   But then that, you know, he lies, right?  Did I not see it? He received in his spirit this information, which Gehazi thought nobody will know. He received it in his spirit. In the New Testament, see this, you know, example of the Lord Jesus meeting with Nathaniel. Okay, so he has his meeting with Nathaniel and he declares something. He's just meeting him for the first time, right? And he declares, here's Nathaniel, here's a man in whom there is no guile. There's no hypocrisy, innocent person. He doesn't have anything hidden in his heart. That's what it means, right? He has, in whom there isn't Israelite, in whom there is no guile. So Nathaniel is surprised. He asks, you know, how do you know me? We're just meeting. How do you know me?  You don't have any of the same. You don't hide anything from us, straight talking dude. So he's surprised, how do you know me? And the Lord Jesus says, before I saw you, you know, this is what he says, right? Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you. Before Philip called you, you were under the fig tree and I saw you. So the Lord is saying, okay, this is what I saw. This is what I received. And we know that he was anointed by the Holy Spirit. He went about doing everything. The earthly ministry was by the anointing, the power of the Holy Spirit. So we see this. Again, the Lord Jesus, and he was having the conversation with the woman at the well, right? This marriage woman comes and he says, go bring your husband. She says, I don't have a husband. He says, yes, you're right, you have had four husbands and the one with whom you are living with is not your husband. Five husbands, sorry. So now that woman again is very surprised, shocked. But the thing is this, which leads us to the next thing. How should the word of knowledge be released? How should we minister in this gift? She heard these words from the Lord Jesus about her past. You had five husbands, the one with whom you're living, the sixth person is not your husband. Which means you're not married, but it's a living relationship. And you see the response of the person.  And then she goes and she's in fact joyful. She's going and meeting others and saying, come, you need to meet this man who told me. So which means that the word was delivered, not in a condemning manner. Saying, hey, you woman, shameful. Not in a condemning manner, but in a very redeeming, restoring. But truth, truth spoken. No holding back the truth. Five husbands, you're not living. I mean, you're the person we're living with, it's not your husband. Truth was spoken, but it was spoken in a way like we can just, we can come to a conclusion. It was spoken in a way which was very redeeming, restoring. Transforming that she went out and she became an evangelist. Literally, she said, come see Jesus, you need to hear Jesus. So, which leads us to the next thing. This is how we need to release the word of knowledge. Be loving and gentle. Be clear, be specific. Validate. Maybe we need to check. Maybe we need to ask them sometimes. Is there anybody like this who's having this condition? I'm just sensing that maybe there's someone here who has this condition. Validate. Yes, no problem. You can. And sometimes it's a risk. You ask.  Nobody lifts. Don't get discouraged. Because after the meeting, somebody can come personally and say, actually I wanted to lift, but I was feeling scared. It happens all the time. When you do that, personally, privately, people come and say, actually I was there, but I wasn't sure and I was feeling a little embarrassed. So take risks. No problem. And it's okay to make a mistake because we are growing. We are learning. So how does it seem like the same way? How is the word of knowledge received? Words, sentences, impressions in our heart through our spiritual senses. Maybe it is an inner impression visually. A lot of times you're seeing something. You're seeing a scenario, seeing a picture, moving pictures. The word of knowledge is received. Sometimes it's interesting. Sometimes it's phases of people whom you knew. Let's say you're sharing in a congregation and as you're praying, you're getting a reminder of this person whom you know, the name and everything you know. But that phase comes over and over again. So just don't discard it and say, okay, why am I thinking of this person at this time now? Maybe it's a relative. Maybe it's a friend. Now just think about it. What is God actually telling me? I was absolutely not thinking about that person. Why? It could be there is a person in the group with the same name. Maybe I'm just thinking of my brother. His name is David. And maybe I know that he went through this challenge. So is there a David here? Is there somebody called David? And is it David?  Then you share and then David stands up saying, okay, how did you know? I didn't know God knew, but God revealed, God spoke. So these are ways where you can say, God, can you make it simple? Can you just send me a text on my phone so I can just look at it, read it. God chooses to do this, reveal this in our hearts in all these ways. And we see that visions, dreams are actually the language of the Holy Spirit through the ages, not just now, through the ages. Like he says, in all those scriptures that we saw, Hosea and Numbers, we see that this is how it chooses to speak. So it's good that we position, that we train ourselves to receive from what he's saying. Of course, validating with the word of God. It's not contrary to the word and so on. Okay, it could even be a physical sensation. Word of knowledge is saying somebody with some condition, maybe there's someone with a pain in the ankle, right ankle. You're feeling something in your right ankle. Or you're feeling something in your right hand, something like that. So be aware of that also as a ministry. Sometimes it could be because you're standing for a long time. So don't say, oh, somebody with the right tip. No, it's not that. Sometimes it's visual. You see this happened. So you're praying in a Sunday service. And I just closed my eyes. I just saw lungs, like how you learn biology class, lungs, diagram. So we immediately knew God wanted to do something obviously to heal when he's showing that there's a condition. He wants to do something in between. So yeah, so he shared maybe somebody with a condition like that. And so it could be visual or it could be something to do with some physical sensation that you are feeling. Be mindful of that. Be aware of that as well. Okay, thanks for sharing that. Okay, so Chai has a question. When we pray for someone and we start crying, is it our emotions or the Holy Spirit? Well, it could be both, of course, because maybe the Spirit of God is described as a situation. Maybe you're praying for someone and then you feel moved out of compassion, out of something that God is revealing. It could happen. Or it could be the compassion of the Holy Spirit that you just sense, which has moved you emotionally. Something happened to me. It was very embarrassing actually. The thing is at one Sunday service, we had all our outreach pastors at that particular location where I was ministering. And then the thing was to introduce them to the congregation and to pray for them. So they all came one by one. So I just introduced all of them. Till then it was okay. But when I started to pray, I started crying. I was just praying for them and I was just joking up, crying, very embarrassing. And people are wondering, what's wrong with the pastor? Why? You see, he's just praying for these outreach pastors. Why? I couldn't explain why. But I just felt so much of compassion. And I just moved with that compassion. I just felt that God, this is how God sees them. He sees them as someone precious. He sees them as his children. So Chaya, it could happen. It could be both. It could be you are emotionally moved by the condition or it could be the emotion of the Holy Spirit. Yeah, just go ahead and pray. Hope that helps. Right? Okay. So word of knowledge, it could be even inspired writing. We said no premeditated, we do not plan it. Unpremeditated speaking as word of wisdom. It could be even writing. You write something and God gives, maybe you're, let's say you want to wish someone on their birthday. Their wedding anniversary and you want to send them an email. You want to send them a letter, whatever. And you just ask God, what should I put here? And you begin to write. So that suddenly these things come to your heart. Writing about this particular scripture, about this promise. It could be that as well. So don't restrict yourself in any way. It could happen in these ways also. Now God can do it in very creative ways. He can release a word of knowledge. So word of knowledge alerts the person to the presence of God. Makes the person aware that there is a living God who knows things about me. So we looked at prophecy. We looked at word of wisdom. We looked at word of knowledge. Any questions before we go to, yeah, absolutely. Visions also. So the thing is this, these are all interconnected. But the basic thing is what we are receiving from the Spirit of God. It is an expression of the Holy Spirit.  So when he speaks, when he reveals, he does it in all these ways. It could be from a vision. It could be a dream. It could be that also. Yeah, yeah. So personal experience or situation could be, let's say you went through. So God reminds you about your own personal experience. Maybe how you overcame a particular challenge. How you took a particular decision.  He's reminding you of something that you went through.  It could be that the Holy Spirit is reminding you that saying that here's a person who's in a similar situation. You need to just tell them about that. So, yeah. So initially you could just say, okay, is there someone who's going through, you know, something like this that would be a way to, and then pay on those lines. Yeah, absolutely. You can, but it's a suggestion. Right. It's not a clear cut instruction saying you must. That's the thing. The other person who's receiving also understands it as a suggestion. So you're speaking, like how would Paul would say, you know, in Second Corinthians say, okay, this I'm speaking from my experience from home as a person whom God has trusted. I'm saying this, it's not a direct command from God, but I'm saying he makes the distinction very clear. So yes, you can. Okay. Any questions? Yeah. What is the difference between prophecy and word of knowledge? Very similar. Prophecy also has, what are the similarities? We see that, okay, prophecy also could have a foretelling nature, futuristic thing in that. Word of knowledge also has something about the present and the future. But prophecy, if you see from 1 Corinthians 14, we see that it brings, it could be an encouraging word, edifying word, a comforting word. Okay.  It could be just a word like that, you know, saying from scripture or God wants you to know that he loves you. He cares for you. But word of knowledge is a little more specific and it goes into the information part. Okay. This is what you did. When you were five years old, this is what you did and God wants to tell you that.  So it was actually tied a rope tire on a tree and he was swinging.  Actually, I fell down. Okay. I was swinging like this and I fell down and from that time I became very scared of really playing like that and something happened in me, a lot of fear, something.  God knows, but God doesn't want you to be that way.  God wants, God cares for you. God loves you. God does not want you to live in fear, but a word of knowledge would be a little more, it's very specific with this revelation saying, this is what happened. So now since Francis asked that question, you know, so we don't have to bother too much. See, for the sake of studying, we are studying this. They're saying, okay, word of knowledge, but a wisdom, prophecy. So when you receive, don't think, okay, is it word of knowledge or word of wisdom or what is it? So this is, we are studying this so that our mind, we can expand our scope of all this and happen. It has a biblical base. And God wants to speak in all these ways to be a blessing, to edify his church. So that is all, you're studying that. When it actually happens, it will just flow together. Word of knowledge with discerning of spirits, with gifts of healing, this flows together. So don't analyze in those ways. But good question. I think we need to know. Wisdom is applying the revelation from the knowledge of the word of God through the Holy Spirit and the correct type of situation and person. Yes, technically, yes, Chaya. That is what wisdom is. But then when we look at the word of wisdom as a spiritual gift, what we have been talking about, it is a supernaturally imparted wisdom. And it need not necessarily be applying the revelation from the word of God. It can be a supernaturally imparted wisdom, something to do with the puzzle that you're... Let's say, for example, a software engineer, this is a testimony that came in some years back. So this person, he had learned about hearing God, hearing God's voice. So he's a software engineer. I'm sorry, not software engineer.  So there's something wrong with the server. And there was an inspection. Some clients were coming and they had to do something. But there was something wrong with the server. Now he was really desperate because things are not going right. So then what happened? He prayed. He said, you need to show me. You need to tell me. You need to show me what's wrong. And he received a picture. When he prayed, God just gave him a picture of the motherboard or whatever the internals of the server with the exact place where it was wrong. He had to... Something was burnt out or shot. And he directly went to that and changed that and it worked. So that is what we're saying when we say it's a word of wisdom. So, well, it's a word of God. It does not have that information about the chip and all that. But then God knows. God wrote the scriptures and knows that is something that is wrong. So this was supernaturally imparted an event and solved it. Okay. Any other questions? Let's move on to discerning of spirits. Discerning of spirits. What does discern mean? Discern. To find out... To find out no... Differentiate, yeah. To find out no in the sense it... To distinguish. To differentiate. To actually judge. To come to a place of actually sifting through and taking out what is... Maybe what is best, what is right, what is wrong. So here, the gift of the spirit, we see there's one which is listed called discerning of spirits. Discerning of spirits. So what does that mean? That means that there is a discernment that the Holy Spirit brings into us. Okay, there's information that the Holy Spirit brings into us where we are able to discern and say, okay, this is God speaking. This is not God speaking. Okay. Or this is a spirit of error. This is a spirit of truth. Or it could even be our eyes being opened to look into the spirit realm. Eyes being opened to look into the spirit realm. It could be either of that. To say whether it's something of God, something is of the evil spirit, something is of, you know, just a natural human spirit. This person is speaking from their natural or from their natural experience, whatever. And it could also be looking into the spiritual realm. Okay, so how does that help? It helps in, of course, judging. When I say judging, it's not condemning. We all call to judge lightly. It's know what is right, what is wrong. So it helps in doing that to determine what is from God, what is not of God. So that I can take a decision. I can know how to move forward. Also discerning of spirits to enable us to know what are the motives. Okay, this is what somebody is saying, but what is the real motivation behind that? They're saying something, it sounds good, but are the motives also good? They're offering this. It sounds good. It seems good, but what is the intention behind that? Is it clear? Is it pure? Is it honorable or is there a hidden agenda? Discernment. Now, being suspicious is not discernment. Okay, so sometimes we are very suspicious. Oh, this fellow, he gave me this. I don't know why he said this. He smiled and said, good morning. Now, why did he do that? Maybe he wants something from me. Now, if we are always tuned to thinking like that, he offered this chapati. Extra meat, he put something is wrong. I'm sure he's going to ask me something by the end of the day. Having a critical, suspicious, judgmental kind of a personality trait is not discerning of spirits. That is not that. Here it's like in a moment, the Holy Spirit reveals to our heart, okay. This is the real intention. Watch out. Or you sense that, okay, everything is clear, green signal, no problem. It's fine. So it's, you see, that's again a very, very important, very valid thing. And it builds up people. There's no question of just gilding into a spirit of error. If we would watch out, if we would obey, be sensitive, right? Motives, intents, what is of God? What is not of God? So this is different from spiritual discernment. So what do we mean by that? Descending of spirits is something that is imparted to our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Spiritual discernment, you know, like we read, we see that by reason of use, having our senses exercised, we are able to discern between what is good and what is not good. All believers, you know, and this is a good thing, right? Because we know, this is what the word of God says. We know from experience, this is our word of God. I mean, God is lead. So this is his character. This is his nature. And then we make a judgment. As a seasoned or as a mature believer, you make a judgment, right? This is what, this is definitely God doing this. You know, this is something that is good. Now that is spiritual discernment. You've come to that place of just discerning because of your understanding of the nature of God, your understanding of the word of God and your experience with God, right? So spiritual discernment. But discerning of spirits is a supernatural enabling by the Holy Spirit, right? In that moment where he gives that information about a particular scenario. This is of God. This is not of God. This is of the Holy Spirit. This is of the evil spirit and opening our eyes to the spiritual track. Some Old Testament examples we see are Elisha's servant. So Elisha obviously is able to see something that that servant is not able to see. So he says, Master, you know, this whole army is gathered. You know, that's what he says, right? Allah is my master. What shall we do? And then Elisha says, do not fear. For those who are with us are more than those who are with them. Then he prays to God and says, Lord, open his eyes. So he sees, what does he see?  He was able to see. Now, of course, he was able to see naturally. So when Elisha said, Lord, open his eyes, it means let him be able to see in the spiritual realm what is there. So there were chariots of fire and horses and so on. So obviously the angelic ministry and protection and everything was there all around. He was able to see that. So we see that example. And of course, in the New Testament we see the Lord. We know it was word of knowledge, but also a discerning of looking into Nathaniel's heart and saying, okay, he's a man without Gail. And many times we see, in the Gospels we see the Lord knew their thoughts. And he knew their thoughts. Now here the people were asking him questions as if they wanted to know. Lord, what is this? Why is this? Why is it like this? Should we pay taxes, Lord? What do you think? But God knew the intense, the Lord Jesus knew the actual intent with which they were asking questions. And sometimes they would not, they would have these thoughts. Why is he doing this? Why is he doing that? Does he even know the kind of person she is who is breaking that incense and touching in and wiping his feet? Does he even know? But he knew in their thoughts. He knew their thoughts. Sorry. Right? So a discerning of spirits, intense of the heart and so on. Okay. So receiving this discernment is again the same way that we talked about all the other gifts that we receive an impression, we receive a sense of knowing, we receive, it could be from the Word. So all that. But more importantly, it could be a check in our spirit, meaning it'd be like a signal in our spirit. Maybe the Holy Spirit is grieved about something and you sense that grieving. Right? It is something in your spirit, a warning, an aliveness in your spirit. No. Don't do this. Don't go there. Right? A discerning. Or maybe, you know, something is happening and, well, everything seems to be fine. But, you know, you're meeting that person, everything seems to be fine. But you sense in your spirit something is not right. Something is missing. Something is not right. So that's, you know, we need to distinguish between our own suspicions. Our own fears. Okay. So that happens, right? With the word of knowledge also. Like your own fears. Okay. I don't know. Should I say this? Maybe I'm overthinking. I'm over analyzing. We could be thinking that way. Here also, you know, when it comes to these things that a lot gives or a lot enables you to discern. But then you need to know, you know, is it my own fear of meeting these kind of people?  Yes or no? Yeah.  We make a judgment. We are like that. We have the bias. We have the prejudice. And so we need to know, is it because of that? Or is it something else? Right? So it's a sense of knowing in your spirit. A sense of warning. Or also be a sense of release. A sense of freedom. Right? You suddenly sense, well, a sense of joy, a sense of companionship and you sense in your spirit. Yes. There's a freedom in your spirit. When you're talking to that particular group or with an individual, there's a sense of freedom. There's a sense of freedom in your spirit. So you know, be aware of that also. Okay. And also maybe there is a sudden awareness of something is wrong in this pull-trap. I don't know if you have that kind of experience where you're sleeping and you wake up.  You know, it's like very early in the morning, whatever. And you suddenly sense that, hey, something is wrong. So it's a perfectly safe place. But you sense that, okay, something is wrong. I need to pray. I need to pray.  You sense that, okay, something is, you know, there is a spirit in the atmosphere. You sense that, okay, there is a spirit or some kind of a disturbance by the powers of darkness trying to intimidate, trying to create fear. And you need to pray for those who are with you. Pray for yourself. Have you experienced that? Yeah, sometimes. So that discerning on the inside is by the Holy Spirit. Maybe we didn't put a name to it. We just said, okay, God showed, God woke me up in order to pray. That's a discerning of. So it could happen when we are awake. It could happen, of course, administering to people, et cetera. Again, through dreams, it could happen, you know, you could hear what is there in the spirit realm and all those, you know, different ways by which we can to see this. How do you release that? How do you operate in this gift? So the thing is this, maybe somebody is telling you their problem. Okay, you're saying that, okay, you know, I'm having this kind of a problem. And then you sense that, okay, this is not a normal, natural problem. There's a supernatural element to it in the sense, not in a good way, not by the Holy Spirit, but that this problem has happened because of some spiritual, some demonic entry, some demonic influence. That's why this person is going through. Right. So how do you minister? Right. With the authority that God has given. The authority that God has given as you're praying, you're breaking that influence of whatever is controlling, whatever is oppressing, whatever is imprisoning. You have the authority. Right. As a believer, you have the authority. So you take authority and use the weapons that God has given you to proclaim the Word of God. You issue a word of command. You, you know, you talk about what God has done and declare what the Lord has done on the cross, the shed blood of Christ. Use the name of Jesus. All that. Right. And specifically, if God is revealing a quickened word, a reema, a sword of the Spirit, use that, speak that, declare that. Right. Okay. So, so which means that we may have to pray, minister in deliverance to the person, take authority and pray in line with what God is revealing to us. Sometimes it might just be in that. Hey, maybe I need to distance myself. I need to leave. I should not be getting more and more involved in like this. But this person who was actually, you know, ministering to, to the Unix actually, I actually wanted to minister to the Unix. So he was trying to do something and, and obviously that was not the time for him. You know, so, so when, when he was telling me about it, I just sense that maybe something is not right. Maybe you should not step in, but then he went in and he was interacting and trying to do something anyway. And then he came under a lot of oppression.  Did you feel okay? But I was just asking myself that also. And, and then obviously it was, you know, God, the Holy Spirit who was actually, you know, kind of giving a check in balance saying, this is not the time. Yes. Do they need deliverance? Do you know, do they need to be ministered to? Obviously. Right. And there are wonderful ministries. But for that person and the level of maturity or the level of spiritual authority he walked in, it was not that time for him because that was a very strong spiritual stronghold. I was just reading about that and talking about it. So we were kind of discussing. So, so the thing is this that yes, while we definitely need to pray and pray for deliverance, God has given authority, maybe for some specific individuals, maybe that's not the time. You know, maybe they're growing as a believer and that's not the time to just step in and get into that with its spiritual warfare. Maybe they're not equipped. Maybe for that season. Right. But definitely God wants those people to be come to the truth and etc. So you just basically wanted to share the gospel with them. Right. So it could be that it could be that, okay, I need to distance myself. I need to remove myself from that particular scenario for some time. It's now is not the time. Right. So discerning of spirits. Also, if you feel that someone is declaring something over you, which is not in agreement. Okay, it could even come like a prophetic word. Okay, declaring something over you, which is not really edifying, exerting, comforting, which you sense that it's not from the Spirit of God. So what do you do? You know, you sense that. So you cancel it. You don't receive it. You don't accept it. Okay. Right. When I went to visit the doctor about the infection. So he was saying, okay, so this is the condition. And then he's saying, okay, you may also develop some headache. You may also get some fever. You may get some cold. So, but don't be worried about it. It's okay. It's part of this whole thing. And then he said, you, when you may, I was just in my mind, I was just canceling. I refused to accept that. I refused to accept that whatever I did. I refused to accept the infection. I refused to accept that. I mean, sorry, the headache and the, you know, the fever. I refused to accept it. So you're just making a simple according to what he knows. He said, these are symptoms that could follow. So these are symptoms that you may get. And all the while I was saying, you know, no, I'm not getting it. Cancel that. As it is, I'm having enough frustration with this, you know, all this, I think watering and everything. I'm not getting it. I don't receive it. So that is what you need. Sense that, okay, this is not of God. You don't receive it. Okay, so this is, these are some things that we have about discerning spirits. Now we have a few more, which is gift of feeling, working of miracles and gift of faith. Okay. And how to develop in all these gifts. And there's one more section. Okay. So what, so this is what I just, at the end of this teaching session, there will be one more video that we will upload. So that we have two videos uploaded at the end of these two sessions. There will be one more video uploaded. So online class, please check that video, which will be the conclusion of this, whatever we are learning about the Holy Spirit this semester. And also e-learning class. You also check that video. In addition to these two videos, please check that video also. Right. Okay. Thank you so much. God bless.


Hi everyone, Joe for jaskiescasebreaks.com. Happy Tuesday coming at you with 2020 Topps Chrome Formula 1. It's a hobby box. We have Sapphire Edition too on jaskiescasebreaks.com and more hobby edition if you wanna run this back, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, F1 is super hot. Just look at what the prices were back in 2020 when this first came out versus the prices that it's at now. Pretty crazy stuff. But hey, people are getting into it because the secondary market value is hot. And look at this, Josh with all the spots. Thanks. Oh, the emojis didn't print out. Come on, printer. I had that. Got all that set up right there. There you go. Thanks, Josh. Good luck. Appreciate you taking the risk on this. Hobby box number 15 will be the official break number. And I grabbed a random box. Turns out to be box eight. Good luck. Got here for Joshua. King D, what's going on, man? How are you? Hope things are going well. A lot of Formula 1 excitement happening, ladies and gentlemen. The last two or three races of the season will be upon us. Then we'll see who's crowned champion. Louis Hamilton with a huge win in Brazil and keeping his title hopes alive. Now the last few races should be pretty exciting. If Max Verstappen had won, I think he would have kind of been mathematically pretty good shape. But now it feels like it's a pretty tight race to the finish. And there's I guess a little bit of, I guess maybe scandal, maybe not the right word, but I think they're taking a look at whether Max Verstappen may have pushed Louis Hamilton out of the track and lapped 49 or 50 or something like that. A lot of interesting things happening as we get to the end. Time flies when you're having fun, King D. Time flies when you're having fun. All right, Joshua, here we go. Thanks again for grabbing all the spots. I appreciate it. Obviously all card ship, like that Lando. And there's a Verstappen-Bronpre driver of the day refractor. You know what, there's gonna be a lot that we're probably gonna have to top load. So I'm just gonna sleeve those up really quick and we'll top load them once I finish this video. More Max Verstappen. These team logo cards are pretty cool as well. There's Louis Hamilton. Mick Schumacher. Still need to watch that Michael Schumacher. I think there's a documentary on there. Well, yeah, it's newer. This was our, when we first moved into this new shop, this was our first view, our first angle. This is how we originally set up the studio. And we switched it and then went back to this because it actually opens up a lot of room for us. I think this guy is gonna be in an F1 seat. Now I thought I saw this day. Guanyu Zhao. I don't know if I said that right, but I think he's gonna be, he just, he joined Alfa Romeo. And so he'll be Valtteri Bottas' teammate. And then Antonio Giovanazzi. I don't know where he's gonna go. So, could be a future star. I think this kid's only 22. So, but could be, could be a keeper. There's Carlos Sainz. There's Valtteri Bottas. I know Norris. Louis Hamilton, Grand Prix winner, Canada Refractor. It's nine out of 50. I like that gold. There's McLaren right there. It got the rookie card logo right there as well, which I also think is cool. There's Campos Racing to 399. Charles Leclerc, the rising star for Ferrari. Another Valtteri Bottas. There's Hamilton and a Romain Grosjean for Haas. 11 out of 25. And we got a seventh anniversary gold right there too. There's Louis Hamilton again. The Bahrain Grand Prix winner. There's the new Alfa Romeo driver. Refractor, it could be some future value there. Some buy low, sell high. And F2, high tech Grand Prix. Seventieth anniversary gold. There's George Russell. I think he's joining Louis Hamilton, Mercedes. Ooh, look at this. Joshua with the Louis Hamilton 264 out of 399. Let's take a quick look at what this can go for. Yeah, Brian, I do enjoy the close races here. Just give me a good finish. What a race by Louis Hamilton, right? So the Top's Chrome Louis Hamilton to 399. Let's look for an ungraded version of this. These are all the Grand Prix winner cards. Any recent sales for that? That's like the true base card right there. A lot of it's the Grand Prix inserts. Well, there's one that was PSA 9 that sold for almost $2,000. Raw, purple refractor, raw in late September, 33 bids ended up at 1,500. But that's back in late September. We're, what, over a month away from that. I wouldn't be surprised, especially with this latest win. I wouldn't be surprised if raw this could push closer to 2,000, maybe even better graded. Obviously if it's a PSA 10, who knows what it could be. But that is awesome. Not only does that cover a big chunk of the box, but plus all these other cards, gradeable possibilities right here. I'm sure this Top's Chrome stuff grades out nicely for the most part. Probably looking at a tiny profit in a lot of future value. There you go, Joshua, thank you very much for grabbing all the spots, rewarded. And obviously, and you'll get all the cards too. Pretty great break. Thanks, Joshua, for getting in. I'm Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com. Thanks for watching, thanks for racing with us and we'll break more with you next time. Bye-bye.


Then let's turn to Psalm 27 and follow along as I read verses 4, 5 and 6. This is a psalm of David. One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple, for in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion in the secret place of his tabernacle he shall hide me, he shall set me high upon a rock and now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me. Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tabernacle. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord. There was a mathematician in the 14th century named Machiavelle and he said this, we cannot have a greater sign of the ruin of a people than to see the worship of God despised. 700 years ago, it appears more and more that true biblical worship is despised, or at least ignored and rejected in favor of things that are man-centered and popular. In this last session, I want us to examine what a passion God's true people have for his worship. So the first point is that the passion to worship is an all-consuming passion. Look at verse 4 again. One thing I have asked of the Lord, that I shall seek. When we were kids, we used to think about Aladdin's lamp. Not the one with Robin Williams, but the old old story. When Aladdin rubbed the lamp, a genie came out and gave him a wish. So part of the game we would play was to say, what would we wish for if we were given the same opportunity as Aladdin? Think back, if you've ever played that little game with yourself, what would you wish for? I decided if I ever got one wish, I'd ask for 20 wishes. So I wouldn't blow it on the first one. But if God were somehow to appear to you and tell you he was going to give you one request, and he most certainly would grant that request, what would you ask him for? Health for a loved one, salvation of someone in your life, more money, better job, better pay, different spouse. Look what David asked for. One thing I've asked God for. And that's what I'm going to seek. What was the one thing that drove David? What was the one thing that motivated David? That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the Lord and to meditate in His temple. Let me paraphrase that for us. Lord, there's really only one thing I want out of life. If you don't mind, I'm going to set up a cot here in the back of the church.  And I'm just going to stay here in church until I die thinking about how great you are. Is that what you would wish for? The word translated beauty also means delightfulness. Who among us thinks of God as being delightful? David wanted to behold the delightfulness of his God. Back in Psalm 4, the Psalmist says, I'm more giddy about worship than a man who's drunk on wine. That's how David felt about worshiping God. It would be hard to imagine that there are many people here who haven't at one time or another in their life been drunk or at least had a buzz on. Before I was saved, I had my share of alcohol. Well, that's not really true. I had my share and a whole bunch of other people share too. And one of the effects it had on me was to turn me into someone who could dance. I'm not that coordinated. I was a lineman. We don't have to be coordinated. But I was John Travolta in Greece and Saturday night fever if you put enough liquor in me. And when I had too much to drink, I was Michael Jackson and MC Hammer combined. Try to imagine that kind of euphoria connected to going to the house of God for public worship because that's what the Psalmist is saying in Psalm 4. What a drunk man experiences with his wine, I experience when I think about worship. Imagine that. Or Psalm 122 verse 1. I was glad when they said unto me, Let's go to God's house. The word translated glad there literally means my whole being celebrated and jumped for joy when they said, Let's go to the house of the Lord. Psalm 26 verse 8. Lord, I love the habitation of thy house, the place where thy glory dwells. You see what David called the house of God, the place where his glory dwells. I love that phrase from the church. But doesn't God's glory dwell everywhere? Yes, but in a special way in his own house. According to Psalm 42, it's a panting, thirsting, deeply emotional longing as the deer pants for the waterbrooks. So my soul thirsts for God. In this day of water bottles where everybody has five, ten at their house, ready to go at any given moment, we don't know what it's like to be thirsty. You can't even go to church anymore. People got to have water. Get a drink outside. There ain't only bottles of water into the worship service. You can't go an hour. I got so thirsty. Oh please. After I finished seminary, after I finished getting my master's degree in seminary, I spent two summers digging swimming pools in Southern California. And a lot of those were out in the Riverside Barstow area, which is the desert. So it would be 100 degrees, 105 degrees. Yeah, well, it was dry heat.  I don't care what it is. And we get thirsty. Now, the guy we worked for would feed us lunch and bring us cold drinks, but not till about 10.30. Well, we started to work at six. We wanted to get in and done before the heat really got bad. And if we got thirsty, there was no etiquette.  Not on this crew. We went over to the hose, turned on the water. We didn't care how wet we got, how soaked we got. When you're thirsty, you don't care about stuff like that. And that's what David said. That's how thirsty I am to be in God's house. He says, when do I get to see the face of God? And to use David's imagery, the time out of church was like a drought. Those are the people of God had that kind of passion today that they saw the six days between Sundays like a deer sees drought. According to Psalm 63, it's a soul thirsting passion. But he says that his flesh yearns for God every bit as much as does his soul. And he says, this is where I beheld him in the sanctuary. And this is a physical longing as much as a spiritual one. One of the premier Old Testament commentaries were by two German theologians named Kyle and Delich. And they said, quote, this is an ardent longing that consumes the very last energies of a man. So David Clarkson said, come with hearts hungering after the enjoyment of Christ in his ordinances. This affection has the promise of Matthew 5. He filleth the hungry with good things. The rich he sends away empty. Our souls should stretch forth themselves wide open in earnest longings after God. This is the way to be filled with rich blessings from spiritual ordinances. I believe there are four elements to a passion for worship. First of all is a love for the day of worship. Isaiah 58-13, if because of the Sabbath, you turn your foot from doing your own pleasure on my holy day and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord honorable and shall honor it, desisting from your own ways, from seeking your own pleasure and speaking your own words, then you will take delight in the Lord and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth. Did you notice the inescapable relationship between seeing the Sabbath as a delight and taking delight in the Lord? You won't do one without the other. And notice the things that biblical Sabbath observance calls for.  Two, desisting from your own ways and seeking your own pleasure. Three, speaking your own words. And according to the text, only then will you take delight in the Lord and only then will God make you ride on the heights of the earth. Or is your attitude that of the people in Amos 8-5 who ask, when will the Sabbath be over? George Swinnick said, as the ordinances are heaven in a glass, so the Lord's day is a map of heaven. This is to be greatly valued because therein we enjoy all the means of communion with God in the highest degree and measure without measure and without interruption. The Hebrews call the weekdays profane days, but this is a pious holy day. The Greeks call them working days, but this is a day of sweet rest. Other days are common and ordinary handmaids, but this is fitly termed by the Jews, the queen of days. On this day, Christ carries the soul into his wine cellar and his banner over at his love. On other days, he feeds his members. On this day, he gives them a feast. On this day, he brings us living water, his finest wine.  On this day, the Holy Ghost descended on the apostles. On this day, John had his glorious revelation. On this day, Christ burst the sunder the bands of death and broken pieces the gates of hell. On this day, he led captivity captive, trampled upon principalities and powers and triumphed over the grave, sin, the curse of the law and Satan. O blessed day, how many thousands of souls have known thee as the day of their new birth. Blessed art thou among days, blessed be the Father who made thee, the Son who bought thee, the Spirit who sanctifies thee and blessed are all who prize and apply thee. You do not have a drop of true holiness if you do not bless God at the coming in and going out of this holy and blessed day. So first, there's a love for the day of worship. Secondly, there's a love for the place of worship. You shall keep my Sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary. Or listen to Psalm 84 and hear how David felt about the place where he worshiped God. How lovely are thy dwelling places, O Lord of hosts. My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God. The bird also has found a home in the swallow and nest for herself where she may lay her young. Even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God, blessed are those who dwell in thy house. So the house of the Lord was no insignificant place to David and that's because he felt safe there. He compared it to a bird who finally found a place to make a nest for herself. I wish that we saw the place where we worship in such terms. In 2 Chronicles 29, it tells us that Hezekiah did right in the sight of the Lord because he did these things. First of all, he opened the doors of the house of the Lord. Then he consecrated the priests. Then he consecrated the building and he demanded the removal of all wickedness all because they had done evil in the sight of the Lord and forsaken him. And they did that by turning their faces away from his dwelling place. It's no wonder that in Hebrews we're commanded, do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together as in the habit of some. Don't do it. Man, because we're the kind of people we are, we always want to say, well, how often do I have to go? Not how often do I get to go. How often do I have to go? It doesn't say. It doesn't say once a month, once a week, twice a month, 54 times a year, it doesn't say. But it does say this. It's to be habitual. Do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together as is the habit of some. It's their habit not to be there. Your habit is to be there. Your attendance is to be habitual. Nobody should ever say, hey, I haven't seen you in a while. That means you're habitually not there. Or it means they're old and cranky like me and we can't remember anything, including our names. But more often than not, it means that your attendance is not habitual. We grew up in a small town in Central California. My dad was a member of the California Highway Patrol. And after he graduated from Police Academy, first in his class, I'm my dad, he wanted to move to this little town. It was a Portuguese dairy farming community. But there was no church that we felt comfortable attending. There was the Catholic Church, the Methodist Church, the Lutheran Church and the Southern Baptist Church. We tried the Southern Baptist Church for a while. They had the quarterly revival meetings with a guest speaker and a gospel quartet. And there was the obligatory invitation given each week. The minister's name was Reverend Easterday. So we didn't take to that much. Although I did ask my folks a couple months ago, why did we stop going to that church? Because after church all the men went out and smoked. That was it. We were fundamentalist, legalists, I'll just say it up front. So then for a while, we used to drive over the hill, leave at 7 a.m. after the cows were milked and the milk was on the street. And we'd get in our 40 conaligned van with two bucket seats up front, a bent seat and another bent seat. And some of you who don't remember this, some of the Yoloans will, the mention was between the two front seats. It wasn't in the front. It was inside the car. The car got hot. But we had to be there so we could be on time for Sunday school at 9 a.m. We weren't allowed to be late even though we were driving an hour and a half each way to get there. We'd have lunch after church with my dad's parents one Sunday and then my mom's parents the next Sunday. And then we'd have to drive home because we had to be home at 5 to milk the cows again. Well, as you can imagine, that got pretty taxing on everyone after a short period of time. So the only thing to do was to start our own church, which we did. And the congregation consisted of several other highway patrol men and their families. The sanctuary was our living room. The pulpit was our ironing board. The pews were our couch and sofa with some folding chairs. But by golly, we were dressed in coats and ties even though we were meeting at our own house. Why? Because it wasn't our house for that hour. It was church. What made it special was the use, not the building itself. I mean, even if you were meeting in a lodge building for that hour, that's the house of God. And it deserves all the respect you can give it. After a few years, we moved into a house in town. We live six miles out of town on a farm. We have to drive six miles to church. But the people bought a house and renovated it inside into an actual church building. My grandfather built us a pulpit. I still have that pulpit. In fact, it's at your dad's house. It's now the West Side Community Church of Las Banas, California, where my brother's church meets now in Eureka, California is a Knights of Pythagoras Lodge building. And just down the street, about 100 yards away, there's another building that looks like a church. And that's because it was at one time. 100 years ago, it was the Methodist Church of Eureka. And in 1925, my grandpa and grandma Christopher got married in that building. We have a lot of history there which has nothing to do with anything. But I find those stories interesting. And I'm under contract to be here till 3 o'clock, so I got to fill in with stuff. What is the significance of the term God's house? Let me read to you a list of things the Scripture gives us. It is the Gate of Heaven. It is the place where God's glory dwells. It is a place of blessing and goodness. Don't write these down. You won't be able to keep up. I'll give this to Mark and he can copy it for you if you want. It is a place of refuge. It is a place to cry out to God. It is a place where God speaks to us.  It's a place to receive understanding. It's a place where God's name is remembered. It's a place to meditate on God's loving kindness.  It's a place to find goodness and mercy. It's a place dear to the heart of God and a place dear to the heart of God's people. And those are just a few. And shouldn't we say then of such a place? I was glad when they said unto me, let's go to that place. William Beverage said, what blessings does he bestow on those who meet together in his name? All sorts of blessings.  He blesses them with spiritual blessings in heavenly places. He gives them a true sight of sin with a hearty sorrow and repentance for it. He fills their souls with a sense of God's mercy. He opens their eyes and turns them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. He enlightens their minds. He directs them how to work out their salvation. He grants them whatever they ask in his name. He strengthens and refreshes their souls. He pours down a measure of his grace and spirit and makes them fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. Other than that, not much happens here. Third, a love for reverent worship. We showed you in Matthew 21, Jesus guarded the sanctity of God's house. Psalm 5 verse 7, I'll bow in reverence for thee. Psalm 211, worship God with reverence. And remember that the worship service is our opportunity each week to tell God how much we think he's worth to us. And our reverence certainly makes a statement to that effect of God. Fourthly, a love for God's glory. Psalm 29, everything in his temple says glory. John Downame, one of the early Puritans, said, what you do in public worship, do it with all your might. Take off that slothful, indifferent lukewarm temper that is so odious to God. Let your whole man offer this worship. David says, not only my flesh longs for thee, but my soul thirsts for thee. Then will the Lord draw near when our whole man waits on him. Then will the Lord be found when we seek him with all of our heart. George Swinnick, those that worship God rightly given their hottest love, their highest joy, their deepest sorrow, their strongest faith, and their greatest fear, as when Abraham gave Isaac, he gave all. So the character of God, the command of God, the worthiness of God all confirmed the words of the hymn writer. We're the whole realm of nature of mine. That were a present far too small. Love so amazing, so divine. What's the next word? Demands. My life, my soul, my all. May God give us a passion to worship them right. And from now on, let's stop saying we're going to church. Rather, let's say we are going to worship. Let's close in prayer. Father, I trust that our minds have been opened and enlightened to what true biblical worship is. Write these things on our heart. May we be fervent and passionate about worship, biblical worship as you have dictated. May you be pleased with us. And may we show you how much we think you are worth. We ask all of these things in the name of Christ. Amen.


Welcome to the Rugged Rockhound! Hello and welcome back to the Rugged Rockhound. I'm back. I'm back! Almost done with my degree, so I'm back to rockhounding and this will be the first of many to come. So today I'm here out at the Vernon Wunderstone area. This is a well-known rockhounding area. We've already got some other people out here digging away at it and we're just going to see what kind of patterns we can find in this Wunderstone. And if you would like to know exactly where this is I'm going to post some GPS coordinates up here for everybody to follow. So there you go and we're just going to get at it. We're going to look around and see what kind of Wunderstone we can find here. A lot of times when you're digging here some of the nicer pieces will be very dirty and you can't really tell. When you look closely at a broken spot you'll see that they're actually quite nice inside and quite often a lot of pieces get missed just because they're so dirty they're hard to see. Good reason to bring a spray bottle and we unfortunately forgot the spray bottles today. But I do have some water I can pour on them in case I need to see if they're any good. Okay let's get to digging. Let me wash that off. Show you how this one looks. It's got a nice pattern on it. There you go. It's got a pretty nice pattern looking on it. That'll make something nice. Just found another one that looks pretty nice. Let's take a look at that one. It's got some nice colors and patterns in that one. Yeah we'll be keeping that one. We'll make some nice stuff with that. So I haven't dug very much as you can see but they're coming out. Some nice pieces here and there. Okay that's not a very nice piece. That's a better looking one. And yeah it doesn't take long to dig through this. Find some nice stuff. Ooh. Take a look at that piece. That's nice isn't it? I like the patterns in that. Good swirls. Whoa. So I was just hitting right there and broke this one right here. And look at that. It's beautiful. The other side looks like... Looks like it's got a yoke inside. It does. That's a nice one. And chemical weathering what it does is as the atmosphere and oxygen and other things work their way into the rock they will oxidize or alter the minerals to form up and that's how they show up in these colors and that's why they form in the bands and you'll see that the bands will follow where the natural fractures are in the rock because that's where the weathering is taking process as water and oxygen get down into those cracks. Chemical weathering. Oh let's go ahead and bust this one open just to see what it looks like because it doesn't look the greatest there but maybe it looks better for grin. Whoa. Well look at that. That's not too bad.  That's wonderful. Ooh wash it off. Let's wash that thing. That is what you're looking for. This is what you're trying to find when you come out here. So I'm getting in here a lot of loose stuff that doesn't have much dirt in it and down here we've got stuff that has dirt in it so this stuff was recent so this is probably not good to look through I'm not going to find much so I need to come back here where there's more dirt where the stuff has been buried for a longer period of time so I'm going to continue going that way. Ah. It might be the other side of that one. Oh. Look at that thing. Yeah we're adding that to that. I've got some large pieces here. Let's see what we can do. See from this side doesn't look like much but from this side you can see it's got the pattern of those other ones so you want to cut these in this direction. Nice. That's staring at me. Look at that. That's beautiful isn't it? Beautiful. Look at that. Beautiful. It's not as big as the others but it's got those patterns you want. There we go. Another nice one. Beautiful. Now this came out of the same spot. I'm pretty sure the inside of this is going to look a lot like those even though you can't see it. So this is where the natural fractures of the rock existed before anybody dug this and this is where the chemical weathering is happening. That's why you can't see into the rock. This is a complete piece. If you look at the very bottom where it's broken you can see it's got the stuff. We're going to keep that. I think I'm starting to get down into close to the bedrock because I'm getting a lot of consecutive pieces like the one that connects to this one is right here. So we should be getting some good stuff coming out now. See another one of those. Now where it's just barely exposed you can kind of see the patterns. We're in the good stuff now. Boom. There it is again. We've got another one here off the side. It's again you can't really see it but it's in there. It's in there. This one you might be able to see some. Let's see if we can wash it off. It's just one big circle but that's neat in its own way. Oh boy. More good stuff. And next to it What's that next? That's the best piece. More good stuff. What else do we see right here? More good stuff. That one might not be as good. One of those which you can see it's got it in there. Whoa. Oh boy. Look. That's a good one, isn't it? What? There you go. There's just some wonders to it. I'll wait.  Because I have to restrict myself to one bucket because I don't have much space at the house. We brought three buckets. We brought three buckets. I'm back from the Digette Vernon. We got some nice pieces. Let's go ahead and take a closer look at them. Washed them off a bit. This one's quite nice. Got the patterns in that thing. This is definitely the better side. This one had a nice little yellow center to it. I really liked that one. This has got a bunch of tight patterns. Really small ones all over. That's pretty cool too. This one I liked the pattern right through here. It's like a tree there. So I like that. This was my favorite one. It kind of looks like one of those African ceremonial masks or something. Maybe this way. Either way, pretty darn cool. And this one just had a big circle on it. Really nice stuff overall. I did have a few others. I'm going to go ahead and take a look at them. I'm going to go ahead and take a look at them. I'm going to go ahead and take a look at them. They're really cool. I did have a few other pieces that I collected. But you can't really see anything on them yet because I got to get them cut. There you have it. Some really nice Vernon Wonderstone. I do like that place. I go out every couple of years just to get some more stuff. But it's great. It's easy to find. It's a wonderful location for just about anybody. The drive up to it's pretty easy. It's not far off of the main road. You don't need four-wheel drive. You don't even really need high clearance if you take it slow. Now I do want to kind of update you guys now that I'm back. I'm back. Back to rockhounding. Pretty close to done with the master's degree. I'm past the difficult parts and so now I've got more time.  I'm going to try to be uploading a video every week. The pieces that are kind of large and stuff, I do want to actually cut those. I currently don't have equipment for that. I just have a small tile saw and that's mostly because we're moving around from apartment to apartment right now and until we have our own house. Yeah, this actually isn't our house. We just live in an apartment over here. We eventually want our own house and when we do that's finally going to get all the bigger equipment so I can start cutting things, cleaning things, polishing all that fun stuff. Eventually I will get to that point. So this is a new year. This is a new year of rockhounding and after, you know, several months of rockhounding on YouTube and just kind of finding out what you guys like and getting more familiar with it I've noticed that really why you guys come here is because you want to see me rockhound. So I'm going to try and mostly do rockhounding videos and occasionally do other little things like cut things or I don't know whatever comes up I guess. I'm also going to change the formats of the videos a little bit. I've been thinking about it, looking at them and I'm going to try and cut down the fluff I guess you could say and really make the videos about rockhounding. Just good old, get out there rockhound, show you guys what I'm finding, tell you guys about it educate if I know more about the area and also just have fun you know and I hope that's what you guys want. I do appreciate when you guys let me know what you're looking for your suggestions because I really want to be able to do stuff that's fun for you guys. And one thing I've really been thinking about and this is where I kind of want your help is I really want to think about rockhounding in areas that are not well known where they're not in books they're not just published everywhere especially if I can just find things that on my own you know and that's what I'm going to try and push for mostly with this channel is try and go to the places that are not well known so guys let me know what you think about that and that's the plan for the future because like I keep telling you there is treasure everywhere


The first memory I have was going with my dad when I was eight to a reserve game, but from 13 I've been coming regularly. It was my dad that got me into supporting Bournemouth and my mother also went and my aunt and my uncle, so it's quite a family thing. I don't think it's special about football, well, it's just brilliant as far as I'm concerned. I actually used to play in the old days. I always like football. I can't really explain why. It's just possibly in the blood from the family and it just helps me to unwind. I get really angry, so it gets rid of tension and stuff. So, yeah, that's been most of my life, I've been around football. I've been a Bournemouth supporter for a few years now. As a matter of fact, I was a baby in arms six months old when I was first born here. That was in 1930. Well, my earliest recollection really is when I was lucky enough to be on the books at Bournemouth. I knew I was never going to make the grade, but I took my little chest eight then and I've been a supporter ever since. People I've met coming over to Deancourt is, I've made so many friends among the supporters. When we go on trips it's more like a family outing and it is going away just on your own. The supporters make the game for me as much as the 22 men kicking their back or wind about. The comradeship within the club is the important thing. The people that I go to games with, that's just close friends. I met these people through coming to the football and they've been really supported of me through a bit of a difficult time. My late husband and I were married for 44 years and that was on 22nd of October. We met when he was playing cricket for British Aerospace and I was doing the scoring for the British Aerospace cricket team. We got together through that love of cricket. My friends came around for me after my husband died very well. He died on the Monday and on the Saturday. I went to an away game with the football and it's difficult to explain really but they felt like family and they were great, really great. I come in the store fairly frequently, mainly very often during the week. Through the years I've got to know most of them and we're on rather than Mr and Mrs. we're on first-hand relationships and we just get on. Let's talk about Harry, absolutely brilliant. I actually met him the first time and I can't actually remember when on an away trip and we sat next to each other and we chatted the whole way. I usually see him every week at away games now and we always chat, have a cuddle and chat about football. When we take over Warwick Services, there's a whole gang of us in Warwick Services and we have our own corner. It won't be tied to anybody if they do get there first. When we travel away, we're quite a close little group. Everybody knows everybody else. You feel you can go and speak to anybody and you get an honest appraisal from the supporters. The football club, to me, has meant company, making good friends, having a seat in a stand where we get the same people there every week and you get quite a relationship with them and it's the thing that kept me going really after I lost my wife. So that's made it really. People that I've met since supporting Bournemouth mean everything to me because they've actually got me through a really difficult time and they've been absolutely great and I really, really appreciate it and I don't know if I could have managed without them. I'm really, really grateful to them and the football club as well.


Okay? Yeah. And so I want to remind you that tomorrow has a Tuesday schedule, so no, tomorrow has a Thursday schedule, which probably makes no difference for you because you don't have a Tuesday, Thursday registration. So what? But maybe three other classes. There, I want to remind you also that there's a little weather sign that's due on Wednesday or Tuesday night if you want. And I will put up another one probably tomorrow that will be short, that will be due the Wednesday after Thanksgiving. So it will be short because it's short. Okay. So what were we doing last time? Okay, so we're doing differential equations and in particular last time, I mean we're going to talk about direction materials and Euler's method and ways of approximating solutions. And last time we talked about one technique for solving certain kinds of differential equations which was separable ones which is a relatively straightforward technique which says that if we have an equation of the form dy dx is some function of x over some function of y, which obviously it doesn't mean over it being a product. So you can sort of separate the x's from the y's, then you rewrite it by putting the y's on one side and integrating and putting the x's on the other side and integrating.  So for separable equations this is pretty straightforward. We did a few examples of this last time. Maybe the simplest separable equation. So a lot of models that come up in a lot of applications are separable. Not all of them but a lot of them are. And so the simplest one, the exponential one, say I have what letter I use dy dx equals 3y. So here the f of x is just 1 and g of y is 1 over 3y. So we can separate to write this as 3y. I could do 3 over there just to have something. Y du y equals 3 dx. And then you integrate both sides. Wait, isn't it y over y? Yeah, 2y over y. Thank you. So did I do this already last time? Maybe not. Doesn't matter. So I integrate both sides and I get that the log of y is 3x plus a constant. So we solve this for y. I can exponentiate both sides to get so e to the log of y is the absolute y and then this is e to the 3x plus some constant which e to the 3x plus a constant is e to the 3x times e to the c. And since c is just some arbitrary number then e to the c is some arbitrary number. And so I have, I guess I'll just continue it here. I have the absolute value of y is some number e to the 3x but that means that y is plus minus some number e to the 3x. Now there's something here that I left off. I mean it came back. It came back in some subtle way but you see when I was here I'm missing a solution. What solution is it? So if I just say that y equals e to some constant times e to the 3x. This is not wrong except that there's one solution that I'm missing. It doesn't satisfy this formula. What? The c? Well the c is obscuring some certain fact here. So here if you pick any c, e to the c is a positive number. So I've called this a. It has to be positive. But I have absolute value of y so that means I pick up the negative ones too. But what about the zero solution? The zero work here? Suppose I give you the initial conditions for this. But I have this equation and I say that at time zero I've got nothing. Then what value of c works for this? None of that. There's no value of c that will make this work except minus infinity. But minus infinity is not much of a number. Yet somehow magically when I did this manipulation, let's call it b, it came back because I can take b equals zero. That doesn't always happen. What went wrong? Where did this zero solution go? It somehow got lost during my manipulations. How did it get lost? Everything I did was algebraically fine and I'm not making the algebraic mistakes unusual for me yet. So you think it went here. So that is a good guess. It's not right. It's related to that. It actually happened before that. So think about what I'm saying. What if y of zero is zero? Or y of five is zero. Yeah. Well it actually happened before that. It's when I divided by y. You can't divide by zero. Whoops. So sometimes you have to pay attention that right here I'm assuming to go from here to here I'm assuming that y is not equal to zero. Because if y is equal to zero this is nonsense. One over y equals three. Yeah. If y is equal to zero we wouldn't have to do that anyway. If y equals zero we don't have anything to do anyway. The derivative is zero. So the derivative is zero. So the function is the constant. We're done. But so I didn't have to worry about y equals zero. But here I assumed y was zero and then went merrily along and found all of the solutions except this one. So you have to think about what you're doing because sometimes you'll make assumptions that will rule out solutions that might be just the ones you're looking for. You have to think about oh, I made an assumption that y is not zero so I can divide by it. But if y is zero the problem is really easy anyway.  So I guess what I'm saying is you know don't get too carried away with the formulaic manipulations. And here we're lucky because the form of the solution that we come up with allows us to take the constant equals zero anyway. So the zero solution sort of magically comes back. But it doesn't always do that. And similarly sometimes when you're doing it you have to make a choice oh let's assume this is a positive because you have a square root floating around or something like that. And if it's negative you get different answers. So sometimes you just have to pay attention to what you're doing. And when you get to the end you have to say did that make sense? Okay. Alright. So I don't know why I wanted to point that out now but I did. Okay. So these several equations are in general pretty easy. They come down just doing some integrals. Let me do another. So there's a bunch of applications that are standard for these kinds of differential equations. One of them, well I guess I did one before. Let me do that one again. So there's one I did for Euler's equation. I don't know, should I do the same? Let me do the same one.  Was that Friday or Wednesday? Sometimes last week I had a heating problem. Does anybody want to see that one? I can solve it explicitly. You want to see me solve it explicitly? Okay. So we have, so we're heating block of bricks. Yes. And it starts at 15 degrees Fahrenheit and the kiln at 100 degrees Fahrenheit and after what, one hour? Temperature is what? 100. Is that what they did last time? 100 degrees. So now what's the temperature at 6 hours? Or maybe, I guess I did 4. We use the fact of Newton's law of cooling or Newton's law of heating or whatever you want to call it, which says that the rate of change, so cooling says that, so let's let T of, I guess, H, so let's let H be the hours. T of H be the temperature of the clay, the only clay once it gets to that temperature. And Newton's law of cooling says that the rate of change in the temperature of the stuff is proportional to the difference between the current temperature and the ambient temperature. Right? I have my kiln here and this is cooler and the rate of change of the temperature of the cool stuff, this is 500 degrees and this is less than 500. So this means that you don't want to heat up. And so it says that the rate of change in the temperature of the stuff is proportional to, which means it's at constant times, the difference in the current temperature and the ambient. So that's our differential equation. This applies to not just heating things but also the heating things. If I take, when I take the clay out of the oven and I set it down so it's now a beautiful bowl. So when I take my ceramic sculpture out of the oven and I set it to cool in a 70 degree room, the rate at which it will cool will be proportional to the temperature that it is when it comes out of the oven. The difference between that and how do we solve this? Well, we try and write it as a separable equation. Oh, I guess this has the initial condition that T of zero is 50 and we also know that T of one is something. Right? So that's, once we have this, this is the whole problem written without words. Well, it's a fine T of four. So we have DTDH equals constant and drop the of H's T minus 500 and so I can separate this equation and write it as DT over T minus 500 equals a constant DH and then I can just integrate. Well, OK, so I can just do this. Yeah, it's exactly the same equation. It's just that T of zero will be, say, 95 and this will be, say, 20. It's exactly the same equation. It's just, you know, the k will be different. In this case, the k will be negative and the cooling case, the k will be positive. I think so. One or the other. But it's the same. Yeah. You said the k is a constant, right? Yes. I have to figure it out. Right? So I have to use this information to figure out what k is. Yeah. So I can do this or I could also make a substitution if I want and turn it into an equation I already know. So, well, let's do this and now I'll move both of those. And so if I integrate this, I get the log T minus 500 equals kT plus some other constant. So now I have two constants. And so that means that exponential, so again, this is assuming that T minus T is not 500 because if T is 500, what I did is just wrong. But if T is 500, it stays 500, so we're okay. Yeah. Because I can't write. So that means that T minus 500 is, well, E to the C is some constant A, E to the kH. And so that means that this is really the member T of H. That means that T is 500 plus A E to the kH. And so now I have a formula for the temperature. But there are two constants here I don't know. I don't know A and I don't know k. But A is easy to find. But I know T is zero. So to find A, so I know that 50 is T of zero is 500 plus A E to the zero. So A is 450. So 50 is 500 and A is 450. Okay. So we have that. And now we can find k. So here I have, I've lost track. I have T of H is 500 minus 450 E to the kH. And so when H is 1, that's 100 and that's 500 minus 450 E to the 8, E to the k. So that means minus 400 equals minus 450 E to the k. So 400 450, which is 40 over 45, which is 8 over 9, I think so, is E to the k. So this k is the log, k is the log of 8 times. Okay. So that means that T of H is now 500 minus 450 to the log of 8 times H. So then to figure out what T of, I think your favorite number is, you just plug it. If you want, you know, this is, this is, log of 8 times is a negative number and you can manipulate it a little bit longer. This is good for you. So you can't calculate it right now. It's, so I think last time we got something like 260 something here. We need to do it a little bit later to see what it is. Okay. Now really this is just an exponential growth problem. Or exponent, I mean this problem is really the same as this problem. The only difference here, instead of going through this business and solving the equation I already solved once, I could just make the substitution mu equals T minus 500, or how to call it x, because I called it x there, y. Y equals T minus 500 and that would transform, so if I let T minus 500 then dy dt dH is the same as dt dH. And so this equation just becomes, so dt equals K, T minus 500, becomes the same as dy dH, which we already know the solution to without having to solve. Equal some constant. So a lot of times by making the substitution, you can transform one variable into another, but you have to remember that your substitution also changes the derivative. So we have to remember to substitute not only for the variable, but also for the derivative. And it's the same. They're really the same problem exactly. Any questions on that one? Okay, good. So he's exponential, so I think someone, I don't know, we posted on Piazza or something once that they want to understand why E shows up all over the place. This is why almost all differential equations, not almost all, many differential equations, a lot of differential equations somehow show up to say the derivative of a thing has some relation to its value. So exponential growth, exponential decay, heating cooling, a lot of these things have exponentials hiding in it. And as we saw when we played with power series, sines and cosines are really exponentials in disguise. Right? And also in the paper homework that was due last week, another family of things called hyperbolic sine and cosine are just sums of exponentials in some little disguise. So a lot of things exponentials show up in. Typical class of applications that show up in these introductory differential equations are mixing type problems. These are, oh actually let me stick to exponentials in just a minute and then I'll come back. These exponential problems, they model lots of things. Right? They model population growth in many cases. They model compound interest.  There's a whole ton of things. So you know what I'm talking about, right? Like in the back. When you close the door and with that damper you keep it from slamming. That damper causes it to slow down with an exponential speed. So this exponential stuff shows up in lots of applications. Another standard application, emission kinds of problems I'll need to say.  So you have say some tank that's filled with, so I might as well just deal with this problem here. 200 kilograms of salt in 5,000 meters of water. So I have some salty water, 200, I said 20. Okay, so 20 kilograms of salt in 500 meters of water in here full of some salty water. If you don't want it to be salt and you don't want it to be water it doesn't matter. You can have it be anything you like. What we're going to do here is we're going to drain some off and we're going to fill it up with some other stuff. So some comes in and some goes out. And there's a big stirrer in here. As soon as the big stuff is all this state stirrer. And 3 kilograms of salt per liter. So what comes in out of the mixture is 3 kilograms of .03. I'm going to take some out at 25. So it comes in at 25 meters per minute. So it comes in at 25, 25. So the rate in and the rate out is the same. And that way it doesn't overflow and it doesn't go empty. And so now what is the concentration at some time? So here's the setup. I have some salty water in a tank. I give you an initial concentration. I'm pouring some stuff in and I'm taking stuff out at the same rate and I want to know how I can describe the concentration. So how would I do this? Do a differential equation. I would do a differential equation. That's a good start. So what differential equation would I do? The right one over dx equals something. Okay so when you're doing these problems, if you think back to when you had these work problems in calculus or the work problems in algebra or the work problems in whatever, you have to think about what your variables are. So what is it that we want to describe? The concentration. So maybe that should be some variable that we want. This is a function. What does it depend on? So we have to set up our variables. Okay. So we want c of t. What do we know about? Okay so we know c of zero is whatever 20 over 500 kilograms per liter. And we want c of t. I guess I already wrote that. So I don't need to write it again. Okay. And we know something else. C of t. Well okay so how do we figure out c of t? We do. Where? 25 liters per minute. Well that's not how much the concentration. So this is the concentration in the tank. And there's stuff coming in at 25 liters per minute. And there's stuff going out at whatever rate it is. This is 25 liters per minute of something with 3 kilograms per liter. So in fact this is a little bit misleading. We don't really, it's not easy to write. So to actually think about it in terms of the concentration. Because the amount of the tank is different from the amount in coming in and going out and there's different units. Instead let's just think about how much salt we're at. Right? Well so if we just think about the amount of salt in the tank rather than the concentration we can get the concentration very easily by dividing the amount of salt in the tank by 500. So c is in some sense not the natural variable that we want. It's okay it just makes life a lot more complicated. It would be much easier to just forget about concentrations and think about amount of salt. Because then the amount of salt in the tank divided by how much there is, well you have how much you start with and the rate of change of salt is how much you create minus how much you take out. And that's very easy. We could rephrase it in terms of c but let's just phrase it in terms of salt. Clearly our differential equation let's let s of t and then the differential equation becomes easy. This is the amount in or actually the rate minus the liquid in salt we take salt out. The water is just the stuff you're carrying the salt with. I mean if you would prefer to rephrase this in terms of something else, well it doesn't matter. The water is just the carrier of the salt. And so now we have an easy differential equation. At what rate does the salt come in? How much salt comes in per minute? Well we're adding .3 kilograms per liter at 25 liters per minute trying to give me .3. Shouldn't have done 24 liters per minute and that's a multiply. Oh well. So this is .75, right? So our rate in is .03 kilograms per liter at 25 liters per minute. So that means I'm adding .75 kilograms of salt per minute. I'm going to take away . Well what am I taking away? I'm taking away somewhere, oh the same rate but I'm taking away some stuff at 25 liters per minute. How much salt is in the stuff? I wait an hour and a half. How much salt is in the stuff? I don't know. But what do I know that tells me how much salt there is? There's a variable that I wrote down. It's the concentration, right? Well what's the concentration? The concentration is the amount of salt divided by 500. So I have some amount of salt s in the tank at any given moment and so its concentration is s over 500. Now if you want to write this in terms of the concentration but it's sort of a little more natural to think of this the amount of stuff at least to me. So now we have a relatively straightforward s and t is in kilograms and this is in liters so the units all work. I have kilograms per liter and liters per minute is kilograms per minute, kilograms per minute. And dT is the rate of change of salt. So that's kilograms per minute so the units are all good. We can forget about them now because they all match. So I have ds dT is .75 minus 25 over 500 is 50 over 1,000 which is .05. This is the differential equation we just did. Once again some number minus some number times s. It's really the same as this differential equation. Some exponential that's shifted you can just do it again if you want. Oh I guess we have the initial s of zero is s is the amount in the tank. Yeah that's the amount in the tank so s of zero is 20. So there's the differential equation does anyone want me to complete this or is everyone confident they can do this? Is there anyone who's not confident? Okay since you're all confident you can do it I won't. Okay so now there's a little bit so you know I can go through 20 different applications that all turn out to be some separable equation you can rank both sides blah blah blah blah You can do that you can read about several more in the book you will get to do several more on homework so the other we have to talk a little bit about exponential growth which I think everybody has seen a jillion times before but I have to say a few words about it the standard growth or decay the standard applications that this models are population growth and no constraints so this is a differential equation like I just did it d y d let's put it t so we think of it as a model in time d y d t some constant times y which gives us that y equals a e k t so in population growth here k is usually positive this is the growth rate and a is the initial population also decay of some radioactive particle like uranium or something like that there's a half life and a is dependent on the half life so here our constant is negative you invest some money that's compounded continuously and this is an exponential growth problem and as we saw a slight variation is heating and cooling and mixing these things they're not strictly exponentials they're exponentials from a constant so the distinction between these guys and these guys is just what you call zero or what you call your baseline if we look at if we look at the slope field the direction field for an exponential by we have the zero solution here and then we see things like this this is the direction field for k is positive and so you have some initial population or you make an initial investment and then it grows exponentially or if k is negative then these things like this instead and you make your initial you have your initial amount of uranium or whatever it is and it decays exponentially like that and then these mixing problems or cooling or whatever they just shift this picture up so in that heating the block of play this is 500 and we have a picture just like we made the direction field it looks something like this and we have we put it in the oven and we heat it and it tends towards 500 or in the cooling problem you take it out of the oven and you cool it and it tends towards the equilibrium solution these are all the same thing and solving these problems analytically always comes down to not necessarily have to separate variables but for example I bet you did these problems in high school and when you did them in high school you just had this formula you didn't have a differential equation but you had this formula and you probably also did them in calculus one which was what you did in high school and again you kind of had this differential equation but you did a lot of proofing around and then it came out but they're really all the same thing and they all come down to fiddling with the constants and awaiting them now in practice a lot of times you have some kind of an experiment and you have some data which may grow exponentially or you believe in some kind of exponential model so you have some data which fits some sort of what you believe to be exponential line and then you try and fit the curve of this type to it and I just want to point out I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this because I think you've all done this before if you just choose two points and fit a curve it doesn't always fit so well it's the same problem if you have linear data you always have some kind of noise so you can do some kind of a least square thing or you can just eyeball it and make a guess so everybody know what I'm talking about here am I saying anything new? I can't tell whether you guys are paying attention or at least you're paying attention so I don't want to beat this dead horse I feel like this just goes on and on and on about the same stuff so rather than just going on and on about the same stuff I will assign some problems along this line you'll do them, we'll make sure you can do this and move along so I didn't get to explain how to do this but anyways, it's kind of easy so how did I stand skimming? I remember that you came from homework 8, that's critical you've got to put a second
