Hi and welcome to the session. Let us discuss the following question. It says solve the following system of inequalities graphically. Let us now begin with the solution. The first inequality given to us is 3x plus 2y less than equal to 12. And the corresponding equation of line is 3x plus 2y is equal to 12. Now to draw this line we need to have at least two points. So if x is equal to 0 that implies y is equal to 6 and if y is equal to 0 that implies x is equal to 4. To draw the line 3x plus 2y is equal to 12 we need to plot the ordered pairs 0 6 and 4 0. So let us now draw the line 3x plus 2y is equal to 12. For that we need to plot the ordered pairs 0 6 and 4 0. That is if x is 0 y is 6 that is this point and if y is 0 x is 4. Let us now join these two points to get the line 3x plus 2y is equal to 12. Now we have to identify the region for the inequality 3x plus 2y less than equal to 12. For that we take any point not lying on the line 3x plus 2y is equal to 12 and we will check whether that point satisfies the inequality 3x plus 2y less than equal to 12 or not. If that point satisfies this inequality we will shape the region which contains that point and if that point doesn't satisfy this inequality we will shape the region which doesn't contain that point. And generally we take that point to be 0 0 as this point does not lie on the line 3x plus 2y is equal to 12. So when x is 0 y is 0 the inequality becomes 3 into 0 plus 2 into 0 less than equal to 12 that is 0 less than equal to 12 which is true. That means the point 0 0 satisfies the inequality 3x plus 2y less than equal to 12. So we will shape the region which contains the point 0 0 for the inequality 3x plus 2y less than equal to 12. Now we have to shape the region which contains the point 0 0 for the inequality 3x plus 2y less than equal to 12. Now this is the region which contains the point 0 0 so we need to shape this region. So this is the solution region for the inequality 3x plus 2y less than equal to 12th and this solution region also includes the line 3x plus 2y is equal to 12 because the inequality contains the sign less than equal to that means this line is also included in the solution region. So we darken this line to show that the line is included in the solution region. Now the second inequality given to us is x greater than equal to 1 and it's corresponding equation of line is x is equal to 1, so let's draw the line x is equal to 1. So here we have x is equal to 1, let's draw the line x is equal to 1 which is parallel to yx is, we have to identify the region for the inequality x greater than equal to 1. For that we take any point not lying on the line x is equal to 1, let's take that point to be 0 0, so if x is 0 then the inequality becomes 0 greater than equal to 1 which is not true that means the point 0 0 does not satisfy the inequality x greater than equal to 1. So we need to shade the region which doesn't contain the point 0 0 for the inequality x greater than equal to 1. So we shade the region which does not contain the point 0 0 for the inequality x greater than equal to 1. This is the region which does not contain the point 0 0, so we shade this region. Also we need to darken the line x is equal to 1 because the inequality contains the sign greater than equal to 2 which shows that the line x is equal to 1 is also included in the solution region. Now the third inequality given to us is y greater than equal to 2 and its corresponding equation of line is y is equal to 2. So let's now draw the line y is equal to 2, here we have y is equal to 2. So let's draw the line y is equal to 2, now again we have to identify the region for the inequality y greater than equal to 2 and if y is 0 then 0 greater than equal to not true that means 0 0 does not satisfy the inequality y greater than equal to 2, so we shade the region which doesn't contain the point 0 0 for the inequality y greater than equal to 2. So this is the region which does not contain the point 0 0 for the inequality y greater than equal to 2, so we shade this region. We need to darken the line y is equal to 2 because the inequality contains the sign greater than equal to 2 and it shows that the line y is equal to 2 is included in the solution region. Now we see that the triangular region in black is common to all the three regions and this is the required solution region and this completes the question. Bye for now take care have a good day.


Online courses have their pros and cons, just like in-person courses. In this video we go through 7 pros and 6 cons of learning via online courses, which will give you a good idea of how best to use online courses to support your development, or if in-person courses would suit you better. For a long time I was very skeptical about online courses. Then I took one and found I learnt a lot from it, and it was really good. And now we produce online courses ourselves of course. I've been to many in-person courses in my business career too, and I've really enjoyed those. So personally I like both types of courses for different reasons. My name is Jess Culls, and I've been teaching business leaders and managers for most of my 25-year business career. I've also been lucky enough to attend a lot of courses in my career, in-person and more recently online. If you're new to this channel, Enhance.Training provides online business courses to help professionals, managers and business owners improve their performance. And if you like this video, please give it a thumbs up, subscribe and share it with friends. So let's take a look at the 7 pros or advantages of online courses. A huge pro of online courses is that you can actually learn from anywhere with an internet connection. You can take a course while on holiday, when travelling on the train to and from work, in your own home, in the office and the list goes on. Online access makes a big difference, particularly if you live in more remote areas or outside a city where most of the in-person courses are held. If you have poor transport links or would have to stay overnight to attend an in-person course, then an online option might be a lot more appealing. You can choose where you want to learn and this might be in the comfort of your own home, the gardens so you can enjoy some of that sunshine and fresh air, or it might be somewhere quiet to keep away from distractions. The point is you get to choose. Another great advantage of online courses is that you can learn at your own pace, a pace that suits you. You don't have to wait for the slowest in the class to catch up or be made to feel slow by the fastest in the class. You can go over learning points until you're absolutely sure that you get it without annoying the rest of the class and you can do any exercises at your own pace or redo them as to suit your needs. You can spend as much time reflecting on what you've learned as you need to. If you zoomed through a course, you often only remember the last few points rather than those made throughout the course, so stopping and reflecting improves knowledge retention. And again, you can choose the pace to suit you and your learning style Another pro of online courses is that you'll save lots of time. When you just think about it, all that time spent travelling to and from where the in-person course is taking place, dealing with the traffic jams or finding a space to park, or dealing with late running trains, and time spent finding the right address in the right room, of course. And you can start an online course a few minutes after signing up to it. You don't have to wait days or weeks before starting the course as you might need to with an in-person course booked in advance. So while the online course itself may take just as long as an in-person course, you don't need much extra time outside of the actual course, unlike in-person courses. Another advantage of online courses is they are usually, but not always, less expensive than their in-person equivalents. Online courses are more expensive to create than the in-person courses. I mean, there's a lot more additional upfront investments in equipment and filming and editing and etc. But once they're made, the ongoing cost of running the courses is usually much, much lower. With in-person courses, you need to rent space and provide refreshments and of course pay the trainer with each course you run. These factors have some bearing on the prices charged. The cost of production of courses does not necessarily relate to the value of the learning provided, of course. Both in-person and online courses can provide you with a huge amount of value, or very little, depending on manufacturers, such as, you know, what's your learning requirements, compared to what the course is teaching. Who's written the course and who is teaching the course? Make sure you know what you want and do your homework. Many online courses give you access to the full content of the course for a lot longer than the in-person courses. With in-person courses, once you and the presenter go home, you've lost access to all that valuable expertise. You usually get copies of slides and then you have to make notes if you want to capture all that additional information that is verbally communicated during the course by the presenter. This can mean a lot of writing. I mean, I always struggle to balance the listening to and taking in what I was being told and writing furiously to capture all of those key points. And with online courses, you can just replay the video lesson again so you don't have to take notes and you can really focus on what is being taught. Safe in the knowledge that you have access for months or even years to the expert rather than just a day. Another great pro of online courses is that you can have a good look at the course or even do the whole course and if you don't like it, you can get a full refund. You have 14 days in UK law in which the provider must refund you if you asked. And many course providers offer a longer period than this. In contrast, with in-person courses, you often lose the option of a refund within the last week or so before the course takes place. If you pull out or don't like the course, getting a refund is a lot harder or it may not be possible. So online courses give you a great opportunity to check that you will learn what you want to learn from the course without the risk that you can't get a refund if the course was not suitable for you. With online courses, if you don't want to, you don't have to interact with anyone. You can take the course without anybody knowing. For instance, this might be useful if you have a work situation where there is an expectation that you must know X whatever that is and is now too late or too embarrassing to ask for help. Taking an online course to fill your knowledge gap would be a really practical solution. You would get the help you need without any negative consequences at work. Or you might find that meeting a room full of strangers is stressful and difficult. Ultimately, you are much more in control and you can choose the level of interaction that you want. Now let's look at six cons or disadvantages of online courses. In-person courses give you a lot of opportunity to interact socially with other attendees and the course presenter. The networking opportunity available is a large advantage of in-person courses. This social interaction remains an important part of the learning experience for many. And online courses simply do not have the same level of interaction. Many online courses encourage interactions through forums and group emails, yet these don't match the in-person experience. If interaction or networking with peers or the course presenter is a big part of your learning experience, then an in-person course will be a lot better for you. Another con of online courses is that it's much harder to learn from your peers and all from other attendees of the course. With in-person courses, there's much more share of experiences with other attendees from the frustrations and problems through to solutions. You can tap into that collective experiences of the group rather than just the course presenter. These peer interactions are valuable learning experiences and can make the course a lot more enjoyable, of course. Often, you realise that many of the others that are attending the course are facing the same challenges that you are, and as a group, solving them is a lot more fun and productive. This peer group experience is very hard to replicate in an online course. Another con of online courses is that you need to have self-discipline and self-motivation to sit down and do the learning. We all have busy lives full of distractions from friends calling, kids demanding attention, or the latest episode of our favourite TV series. With online courses, you don't have the peer pressure nor the course presenter moving you through the course material and learning points. This can be a really big deal for many people. So if you struggle more with self-discipline and self-motivation than the average person, then ask yourself if online courses will work for you as well as an in-person course would. Online courses have a higher drop-out rate because of that self-discipline and the self-motivation needed to complete them. When you have a group sitting around you, pushing you on, or you have travelled for an hour or so plus to get to the course, you are much more likely to complete the course. And I certainly haven't seen many in-person course attendees get up and walk out part of the way through the day. With online courses, you can easily stop doing the course. You might think, I've got access for a year. I can complete it later, and then you just don't get round to it. Not having access to a laptop, a computer, or a tablet makes learning online a lot harder. Learning on a phone is, of course, possible. It's just not as easy due to the smaller screen. If a loss of the content is shared via recorded videos and the internet connection is poor and those videos keep freezing, for instance, your learning experience will not be great. So you do need access to a good internet connection and a reasonable computer or tablet to make learning easier and practical. The need for good technology is definitely a con of online courses. Great when it all works, really not when it doesn't. Another disadvantage of online courses is that study time and personal time are much more likely to clash. When attending an in-person course, you have a defined start and finish time and a different location to learn at. When learning online, the study is less defined and therefore can clash more easily with other demands you place on your time. Creating boundaries is harder with online courses as you have access to them for 24-7. So there you have seven pros or advantages of learning via online courses and six cons or disadvantages. As you might have guessed, there is no right or wrong. Many people get a lot from both online and in-person courses. In the business world today, one of the most important things you can do to help your career is keep your skills up to date and adapt and learn new skills as company requirements change.

And our inquiry question is, when students are provided with cross-curricular project-based learning opportunities, how would they model 21st century skills? So I'll give you a little bit of a background about 14 months ago. I was facing the loss of teaching geography 12 due to a lack of enrollment. Allison was facing the loss of adventurism. And at the same time, I really wanted to get a social justice 12 course running at Couch and Secondary. From there, we went to our principal and sort of explained this idea to him and said the magic words, pilot project. And he was like, yes, let's do it. And that's how gas came to be. We were given one block second semester. The two of us were allowed to teach in that one block together. The three subjects were all put in that one block. 47 students is what we've ended up with here at the end of the semester. What worked was really the curricular connection. It was great to see how students embraced this idea that these subjects were connected. And when you go to school and you go to different classes, you're not just learning discrete bits of information that don't have anything else to do with, say, the next class that you're going to. So that was very exciting for us. There was lots of demonstration through these projects of those 21st century skills. So creativity and collaboration, communication. It was really exciting for us. Okay, so where are we going from here? Gas is running again next year, second semester. So we'll be teaching it again. And then the big picture for where we're going with this course. Well, Dan and I are both new to project-based learning and we did some work online with the Buck Institute. And we did some classroom visits to high-tech content people that are real experts in project-based learning. So we're working on that and we're working on becoming more competent with PBL. And then we also want to figure out how to get more of the students enrolled in those courses. To take advantage of these opportunities to earn more credits and get away from just focusing on. We probably had half the students sort of just under half take advantage of the, you know, achieving sort of six or eight credits. But how do we get more students doing that? Because it's really a valuable thing for them. So that's where we're at for next year.

There are many ways people inhale marijuana. Most people smoke it, either in a bowl, pipe, joint, or bong. This is concerning, since in many ways smoke is smoke, and using a bong doesn't help in terms of the tar exposure, where there's fire, there's smoke, and where there's smoke there's inflammatory irritants. In fact, the regular smoking of cannabis is associated with the kind of airway inflammation you see in the lungs of cigarette smokers, which can result in prolonged respiratory symptoms, such as chronic coughing, excess sputum production, wheezing, and shortness of breath, as well as an increased incidence of bronchitis and other respiratory infection. In many ways, smoke is smoke, whether it's from burning plants in a forest fire or burning plants in a joint or cigarette. There are harmful byproducts of combustion, any combustion, like carbon monoxide. In fact, you get five times more carbon monoxide per puff in cannabis than tobacco, since pot smokers inhale more deeply and then hold the smoke in. Now you can avoid that completely by eating cannabis instead, but the slow erratic drug absorption doesn't give the same kind of immediate high. Inhaling cannabis vapor, however, could potentially offer the best of both worlds, giving the same kind of high in terms of subjective ratings compared to smoking it, but with significantly less carbon monoxide exposure. So similar effects with fewer toxic byproducts, though not necessarily all toxic byproducts. Both cannabis smoke and just vapor can evidently contain high concentrations of ammonia, and sometimes vapor can be even worse. So yeah, vapor has less tar, but may have more ammonia. This was with a direct heat vaporizer, the so-called blue meanie. Using a hot air vaporizer, like the volcano brand, results in ammonia levels in your bloodstream more comparable to smoking it. But the only reason we care about contaminants is we're trying to cut down on the inflammation. Does cannabis vapor produce fewer respiratory symptoms than smoke? According to this study, the first of its kind, yes. Now vaporizing doesn't help with dependence issues or impaired driving or brain damage among heavy adolescent users, but may improve cannabis drug safety by minimizing lung troubles. They conclude that regular users of joints, blunts, pipes, and water pipes might decrease respiratory symptoms by switching to a vaporizer. But this was just based on a snapshot-in-time internet survey asking people about their symptoms. You don't know for sure until you put it to the test. In a study funded by a pro-legalization group, they recognized that respiratory symptoms are a stumbling block in their efforts, so suggest inhaling cannabis vapor rather than smoke might minimize respiratory complaints. So they had 20 frequent cannabis smokers with respiratory symptoms switch over to using a vaporizer instead for a month, and those that didn't happen to fall ill with respiratory illness during that period experienced a significant improvement in their respiratory symptoms. But wait a second, 8 out of 20, 40% got a respiratory illness within a single month? That doesn't sound good, and indeed it's something they noted. Additionally, the self-reported improvements may have been tinged with bias as smokers might think such results might be good for the cause. This may have backfired, though, as there are calls in the medical literature to just legalize smokeless forms, or at least set it up so that smoked marijuana is more heavily taxed or something.


Amen. Wasn't that beautiful? Yes, Christ is coming from an eye. Victory is nigh. If it is okay with the sound engineer, if I can get a little bit more volume on my monitor up here, I'll be happy. Just the monitor up here, if I get a little bit more volume on my monitor up on the stage, I'll be grateful. All right, beautiful. Boy, I just didn't just enjoy that song. I enjoyed the colors. Man, I was amazed by the colors. I had to record them and I think folks who are watching from far, just amazed by the array of African colors. Thank you, ladies. I was really a treat and for the gents as well. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. So we're back again, because we have some more work to do today. Hope you had a good rest last night and we're ready to do some work this morning.  Yesterday we spent all day looking at the coming of Christ and now we prepare for that. Today, today, this morning and this afternoon, we'll talk about, I'm going to focus a little bit on getting involved. Under the subject, call me Peter. Call me Peter. Your heads are bowed. Father, we remind ourselves that we can't open your words unless we ask for help. So one more time, Lord, I ask that you will send us the power and the presence of your Holy Spirit and as we open your words, I ask that you will help us, God, to understand your words, to apply them in our hearts. But our lives may be changed and your name might be glorified. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Permit me also to welcome my folks online. Those of you who have gotten up out of your bed four o'clock in the morning to watch us here live from Nairobi, we want to welcome you and for those of you in other parts of the world, we're delighted to have you. We hope that you'll be blessed as we dive into the Word of God. So by now you should know that I'm a troubled preacher, that there's some stuff in the Bible that troubles me badly. One of them is, one of them is to try and understand Jesus because there's some stuff that Jesus did that is still problematic for some of us. What do I mean by that? Well, when Jesus came here, he decided that he is going to start a new movement. Yes? I had to remind myself that when Jesus came here, there was a church. Amen? There was a functioning church. It was headed by the chief priests and the elders, the scribes and Pharisees. There was a functioning church. They worship every Sabbath and they were serious about their worship. But strangely enough, when Jesus came here, who is supposed to be the head of the church, he had some problems with the church. And so when he decided to start his own ministry, mission, he needed a team around him. Is the church still with me? Yes, he needed a team around him. And he decided to handpick the people he wanted around him to be part of his team to get them involved. And you would have thought, wouldn't you, that if you're looking for a team to help you in ministry, you'd have gone in the church. Amen? To look for the faithful members of the church. You'd have gone to find hardworking evangelists, dedicated deacons, faithful elders. Jesus chose twelve and not a single one of them was a member of the church. In his book, Twelve Ordinary Men, John MacArthur says he went into town and select twelve ordinary men. Not a single one of them was a Pharisee. Not a single one of them was a priest. Not a single one of them was a member of the church. These were people, fishermen downtown, tax collectors, you name it, twelve ordinary people he chose to be part of his team. And the question that we must ask ourselves is, why? Why? So look at, follow me this morning. So look at, let's look at the team that Jesus chose with him. So he's going to do, he's starting a whole stuff here. Preparing for his second coming, starting a church. And look at the team that he chose. Have you ever studied these guys? Interesting. So some in the team, James and John, by the way, Jesus called them sons of thunder. Oh, I don't know if there's anybody in Nairobi we can call that sons of thunder. Jesus called, Jesus gave them that name. These were not guys to mess around with. Amen? These were not guys. These guys are serious guys. One day, you know, one day Jesus was in town and teaching and some folks didn't want to listen to Jesus and they came to Jesus. They said, Lord, do you think we should call down fire from heaven and burn up these rascals? These are sons of thunder. These are not guys to mess around with, but it is them Jesus choose. Here's another one. Matthew. Matthew. Well, Matthew, Matthew was a tax collector. And for those of you in Nairobi does mean much. But back then it was tax collectors were the scumbags of society.  Are you with me? Tax collectors were hated.  And it is these type of people. Jesus picked up one of the worst of them, put on his team. Then there was Judas. Then there was Judas. Jesus didn't actually hand picked him, but he volunteered. Jesus didn't stop him. But of course you know his track record. He was really a crook. Yet Jesus allowed him on the team. Amen. Because when we are getting ourselves involved to get people ready for the second coming of Christ, hey, everybody and anybody is invited to the team.  Yeah, he's the he's the guy who will talk much in the board meeting, but he's not doing anything. Yeah, you know those members? Oh, they have all the they have all the talk. But they are the cowards. These are the people Jesus had on his team. And then you have Peter. You have Peter. He's the most colorful of all of them. Peter. And so they for the next few moments, I'm gonna ask you to just bear with me. Let me talk to talk to you about him a little. Then you have Peter. In other words, put it this way. Put it this way. I doubt I really doubt that if any of us in church this morning, if we were putting a team to go on the road to the evangelism, these are not the guys who would put on our team. Amen. Yes. Amen. And the message I want to communicate from day one is that God welcomes anybody and everybody on his team. The worst of the worst of the worst. So if you don't believe me, let me prove it with my good brethren. Peter, Peter, Peter. Most of us, we have heard of Peter. But if you if you knew what Jesus knew about Peter, Peter would be the last person we would want on our team. So let me let me break this down for you. When Jesus invited Peter to join the team, Jesus already knew Peter's weaknesses. Jesus already knew his short coming. Yes. But Jesus did not allow Peter's weaknesses or his short coming to prevent him from becoming part of the team, to prevent him from getting involved with the church with me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you if you and I happen to know some background information about Peter, I guarantee you we would bypass Peter. Peter would be the last person we put on the team. Let me put it where you can get it. If you knew that Peter is somebody you can't rely on when you are in trouble, I guarantee you wouldn't put him on the team. If you knew that Peter would, Peter would, would, would, would deny you. If you knew that that Peter, that Peter would deny you at the time when you needed him most. If you knew Peter is not somebody you could rely on when you're in trouble, you would not put Peter on the team. And the question then, since Jesus knew that Peter was such a character, that you really can't depend on him, that when trouble comes, he runs. Why did Jesus allow this guy to come on the team when he already know the weaknesses, know the faults, know the background of this person? Why? What's going on? Ha! Not only, watch me, watch me, watch me, not only, not only would Peter deny Jesus three times, we all know about that, but Peter is the only disciple out of the twelve that Jesus called a devil. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Let me say, let me say that one more time. Peter is the only disciple among the, as bad as Judas was, Peter is the only disciple among the twelve that Jesus called a devil. And so if you knew the man was a devil, why did you allow him on the team? I'll put a text, put up the text for you. I mean, Matthew chapter 16, I mean verse 20, if you're just joining us on, if you just log on to Nairobi Central Camp Meeting, I'm under the subject, call me Peter. Matthew chapter 16 and verse 21 says, from that time, Jesus began to show to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and he must suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes. Is the church with me? And he will be killed and he will be raised on the third day. So watch it. So Matthew says, Jesus gathered the folks around, the disciples around and he started telling the disciples, he says, hey guys, in a little while, I will have to go to Jerusalem. And when I go there, things are not going to be nice. He says, the church leadership in Jerusalem, the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, I can tell you right up front, they are going to go against me and I'm just going to let you know what's going to happen. I'm going to be killed. But don't worry, I'll be raised again. And the twelve disciples were stunned to hear Jesus talking about this. So Peter, who always loved to talk before his brain goes into action, he jumped up.  Took him over to the church. He took Jesus aside because what Jesus is about, he's saying right here now, he's not going down too well with Peter. So he took Jesus aside and the Bible says, and the Bible says he began to do what? Rebuke Jesus. Now what does the word rebuke mean? Anybody know? You can talk to me. You can talk to me. What does the rebuke mean? Oh, you don't know? He started to reprimand, he started to reprimand Jesus. Took Jesus aside and started to reprimand.  That's nice, we have seen it.  Not a thing like that will happen to you.  Nothing like that will happen to you. Not as long as Peter is around, it won't happen to you. Peter rebuked the Son of God. And the text says, Jesus turned to Peter and said, get, if Jesus is from Jamaica, amen?  What?  Get behind me, Satan. This is the second time Jesus said, get behind me, Satan. The first time is when they were tested, when Satan tested Jesus in the willingness and Jesus, look at Peter. And I was fascinated by this text, so I went to research it. Yesterday about the commentary says, Satan, watch this, watch this. Satan was talking through Peter. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Satan infiltrated Peter and Satan was talking through Peter. Is it church with me? And Peter did not even know that Satan had already infiltrated him and was talking to Jesus through Peter. So when, hey, hey, hey, so, Peter is not aware of what is happening to him spiritually, but when Jesus heard that voice talking to him, Jesus knew that that was Satan, so Jesus didn't address Peter. No, no, no, be Jesus addressed Satan.  Satan, get on the team. Oh, you see, I'm a troubled preacher. How did Satan get on the team? Ellen White says, Satan's purpose was to discourage Christ. And so Satan, without, listen to the preacher, without Peter being aware of what happened, Satan was already in control of him. And very often the same thing happens in the church of God. Among people who are part of the team, Satan is a master of infiltrating the team and tends to use one or two, hey, to discourage the team. But I want you to notice how Jesus dealt with it. Ah, he rebuked Satan.  Hey, is the church still with me? You're offense to me, for you are mindful of what? Of the things of God. You are not mindful of the things of God, but you are mindful of what? Of the things of men. So I want you to talk to me. Should we, should we expel Peter from the team? Is Peter disqualified? Elder, can we still keep him? Is it, hey, hey, is it safe? Is it safe to keep Peter on the team? Now that we know that the devil has spoken through him, is it safe or should we take a vote to, oh Lord, help us in the church, to remove him from the team?  Something, something has gone wrong with Peter and something is happening to Peter. And I hope as I unpack this message, you can take it home to your own experience and to your own church and to your own circumstances, because it's a message for us. Something has gone, something, something, something is happening to Peter. Something is happening to Peter. Something's deadly and spiritual is happening to Peter that the naked eye can't see. Something is happening to Peter, to a member of the team. Here's what the text says. Here's the text. I mean, I mean Luke 22, verse 31. Jesus called Peter and said, Simon, Simon, indeed, look at the text, say, oh Lord of mercy, Satan has asked for you that he may sift you as a wheat. Hold on, brother preacher, this is your stuff. Hang on, hang on, hang on. Have you seen the text? Jesus called Peter. You know, the other day, the other day, the other day Peter took Jesus aside. No, it is Jesus to take, it's time to take Peter aside. He says, Peter, I can see what you can see and I know what you don't know, but I'm going to share this stuff with you. Satan asked for you. Hold on, hold on, brother, we can't move on. What does Jesus mean when Satan asked for Peter? Ask who? Ask who? It reminds me of Satan and Job. You remember that story? Yes, Satan could not touch Job unless he asked permission. Are we together? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jesus came to Peter and said, hey Peter, I'm going to tell you what's happening. You don't know this, but I have intel on you. Satan has asked for you. In other words, there are, watch me, watch me, watch the preacher, watch the preacher, watch me. There are 12 of you on the team and it is you Satan wants. Hey, hey, hey, you still don't get it. Let me put it, let me talk to the choir. Let me talk to the choir. The one that Satan got is not the one that Satan wanted. Oh, you still don't get it. Let me talk to the elders over here. The one that Satan got is not the one he wanted. Who did he get? He got Judas, but who did he want? Peter he wanted. Come on, if you were Satan and you have a choice between Judas and Peter, which of them would you choose? Oh, come on, talk to me. Which of them would you choose? Is not Judas Jesus wanted and Satan wanted? No, he, hey, hey, hey, he had to, hey, he had to settle with Judas. He had to settle with Judas, but he's not Judas, he wanted. He wanted the brightest of the pact. He want the best that Jesus had. Is the church with me? When he comes into Nairobi central, he don't want no little man or woman who don't have any use. No, he want the brightest in the church. He want the best in the church. He want the most effective member of the church. He want Peter. Judas is what we call in Jamaica, what left? Oh, Lord.  They, they, they tell me moth, moth are attracted to bright lights. Moth are attracted to bright lights. When they are bright lights in the church, ah, Satan, Satan like a roaring lion. You're from Africa.  Every one of you who have decided to make a commitment to God and are faithful and are true and are dedicated and are effective, though you may have your fault, you must understand. It is you Satan wants. Satan has, so of the 12. Hey, by the way, there's, there's crooked Judas. You could take him. There's Matthew the tax collector. You could take him. There's coward Thomas. You could take, no, no, no, no, no. No. We want Peter. So Jesus says, Satan asks for you that he may sift you as a weed. Ha, help me read church of God. But, come on. Let me read. One, two, three. But I have prayed for you. Can the church say amen? Yeah. In other words, not again, a little Jamaican language, not under my dead body. Am I going to let Peter go in your hands? Do you guys use that phrase here? Under my dead body? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.  I have prayed for you. Amen. And the prior of Jesus will hold you against any attack of the enemy. Somebody in the church need to say, Lord, pray for me. Pray for me because I'm signing up to get involved. Yeah. And I need the prayer you pray. Hey, hey, hey, the prayer you pray for Peter, remove Peter's name and put. Oh, come on. Hey, how many of you want to say, Lord, the prayer you pray for Peter, remove Peter's name and put my name, my name, my name, my name. When Jesus pray for you, ain't no weapon form against you can prosper. So there's a, but no, you realize, no, there's a war over Peter. There's a war. Oh, Lord of mercy. There's a war over Peter. I have prayed for you. The text says, and when you have King James Version says, when you are converted, this is a new King James Version, when you have returned to me. What? Look at the text. When you have what? So where is he gone? Where is he gone? Satan took over Peter so much, took him away. Peter was on a slippery sliding slope, going down. And Jesus spotted it. He says, Peter, I got to put you on notice.  That's why you are messing up so much. But I'm not letting you go. No matter how bad you blunder, hey, the preacher, no matter how bad you blunder, no matter how many mistakes you have made, I am not letting you go.  Hey, you're valuable to me. I'm going to pray for you. And when you have returned, when you are converted, when you get back your strength, when you connect back to me, then go and strengthen your brethren. Because I tell you, the devil is going to go after them also. It's a fight for Peter. The devil not given up and God not given in. So Jesus decided, I'll pray for you. And then Jesus put in a request for Peter with a prayer. And then Jesus did something else to help out Peter. He said, Peter, along with the prayer, along with the prayer, I have a little strategy to help you out. I'm going to dispatch a rooster.  Peter said to him, Lord, Lord, you don't have to worry about me. This guy is something else. He says, Lord, you don't have to worry about me. I am ready to go with you, both to prison and to death. I promise you that. And Jesus said, Peter, I will tell you something. The rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny me, how many times? Three times that you know me. Where is this rooster coming from, Jesus? Oh, I can foresee what's happening down the road. Watch, preacher, I'm going to put in place, amen, something to rescue your soul. Wow. Oh, you still don't get it. You still don't get it. Let me put it where you can get it. Had it not been for the rooster, Peter would probably have lost his soul. So in my sermon, when I read it, I said, thank God for the rooster. Oh, you still don't get it. Let me give you, let me give you the word. I'm in John chapter 18, verse 25. I mean, this is Peter's greatest blunder. I'm in John chapter 18, verse 25. Bible says, now Simon Peter stood warm himself. This is after the, this is the trial of Jesus. Come on, you know the text, right? This is the trial of Jesus. They took him from Mount Olivet. They came to Caiaphas' house and they are interrogating him in Caiaphas' house. This is early Friday morning, very cold like Nairobi cold. Dew is still on the grass, early in the morning. Sun don't even come up as yet there. So they had him in Caiaphas' house all night, early morning, very cold. And so Peter, Peter who, Peter who was among them when they arrested Jesus got scared. And so the Bible says he followed as they, as the soldiers captured Jesus and took him down to Caiaphas' house. Peter followed from a distance. Poor guy. Amen. Want to see what happened but not willing to risk his life. So he followed from a distance and he saw the, that they had him brought him inside Caiaphas' house. So out on the porch on the yard, the rest of the crowd gathered and there Peter came because somebody make a little fire to keep themselves warm in the early morning and Peter who was freezing, not just physically but spiritually came to warm himself by the fire. And when he, when he, when he came by the fire rubbing up his two hands together and getting himself warm, therefore somebody said to him, hey, think I know your face. I know your face.  Think I know your face and Peter, and Peter denied it and said, no, I'm, you're making a mistake. I'm not, I may look like the guy, but, but I'm not, I'm not. By the way, somebody already identified him and he denied it. This is the second time he's denied. I'm in verse 26. Now one, look at the text, look at the text, look at the text, look at the text. One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of him whose heir Peter cut off.  You remember that? And Jesus put it back on. Yeah, that's what your Bible says. So what the text is telling us? One of Malcos's relative came and said, but we know this guy. We know this guy.  Yeah, because he's also, he wants to get, he wants to get the warmth of the fire, but he doesn't want to expose himself. So the hood works well. And a guy looked, the guy looked under the wood and says, I know his fellow. Didn't I see you? Didn't I see you in the garden with this man? Evidence. Peter denied it. Again, third time.  Have you heard about that? You didn't know that? Yeah, yeah, yeah.   If they go down the third time, that's it. That's it. This guy, have you heard three strikes on your out? Yes, three strikes on your out. First time, first time the guy lied. He knew he lied, but he could not. He didn't have what it is to sacrifice himself for the Lord. So he got another opportunity to correct the first lie, but he lied again, and he got a third chance to correct two lies and he lied again.  And that rooster crowed just at the time when Jesus said he would crow. And why is that significant, brother preacher? Because the Bible says when Peter, when Peter heard, when Peter heard the rooster crow, he remembered that Jesus gave him the warning and he looked. Hey, hey, Ellen White jumps in the picture. Ellen White says he looked at Jesus and Jesus looked back at him. They had a 20-20 vision and right the way Peter's heart turned upside down because he knew then that he messed up big time. He could not live with himself these half ages. Ellen White says Peter, turn away, wept like a child, blinded by his tears. He staggered all the way back to the garden of Gethsemane and throw himself down in the wet dew. And he begged God forgiveness. The sound of the rooster was in his ears. If you take a drone and do an aerial shot of the garden of Eden, the garden of Gethsemane, you would sit Peter down there in the wet grass weeping. God, I messed up. God, I messed up. I messed up. I messed up. I messed up Jesus. Please forgive me. He wept. He wept. He wept. He wept all morning. We didn't see Peter again until Sunday morning at the resurrection. I asked my question. Where have all the roosters gone? I think the church needs some more roosters. Where have all the roosters gone? Because we need, we need more roosters to crow when we mess up. Is the church with me? To crow when we bond blunder. To crow when we sleep in the bed that we should not be sleeping. Where are all the roosters? To crow when we lie when we should not be lying and steal when we should not be stealing. Where are all the roosters when we say bad things about each other? Where are all the roosters when members of the team blunder? Hey, somebody need to say, God, I need a personal, come on, help me preach. I need a personal, help me preach. I need a personal rooster to crow when I blunder. I need a personal rooster because we are no better off than Peter. Are you with me? Yeah, yeah, the same way the devil infiltrate Peter. He can infiltrate any one of us. And unless we have a personal rooster to crow, then we are at his mercy. And I'm saying to the church this morning, the same way God provided a rooster for Peter, he has one provided for you. Amen. How many of you say, Lord, give me my personal rooster? Yes, Jesus, because sometimes it's hard. It's hard to stand up for you. Sometimes it's hard. Give me a personal rooster and let him crow every time I mess up. So like Peter, I can go back to the garden of Gethsemane and ask forgiveness. Personal rooster. Well, let me wrap this up and send you home. Fascinating stuff. Fascinating stuff. Jesus is not letting go. Jesus is not letting go. So follow the preacher. Follow the preacher. Follow the preacher. We left Peter weeping in the garden of Gethsemane. He don't know what's happening downtown with Jesus. They tried Jesus. They crucified him. He died Friday evening. Follow the preacher. And Peter knew. Stay with the preacher. Peter knew that the man he offended is dead. And so there was no time for makeup or forgiveness. Is the church with me? Stay with me. Stay with me. Stay with me. After asking forgiveness in the garden of Gethsemane, he would love the opportunity to talk it over with Jesus to make it right because his heart is now genuine. Is the church with me? But now Jesus is dead. Oh, am I forgiven? I don't know because Jesus is dead. So Sunday morning, Sunday morning, when Mary went to the tomb and found it empty, the text says she ran back to Peter. And when Peter, and walk up Peter said Peter, the tomb is empty and the text says Peter run to the tomb with great excitement, hoping he can find Jesus to work out the stuff with him. There was no Jesus. Disappointed. He went back here and John went back to their room. No Jesus. Mary lingered because she decides she's not leaving this tomb until she found Jesus. And because she lingered there, still crying says Ellen White in the book Desaf Ages. She saw an image and she thought it was the gardener. And she said to the gardener, where have you laid him? Tell me so I can get his body. And the person and the person says, Mary. And when she heard the voice of Jesus, she knew it was a rabboni. And she went to hug up Jesus and Jesus gave her a message. You know the message, don't touch me. I've not yet gone to my father, but that's not the part I'm interested in. After that Jesus says go and tell my disciples and Peter. Go and tell my disciples and Peter that I'm alive. You can mess up against God. You can do all the stuff against God. God is not going to keep Malice with you. And Peter. Well, Peter didn't see him that day. So he's still not sure whether things are well with his soul. Is the church with me? Stay with me. Still not sure. So the Sunday morning, following Sunday morning, the text says Peter and a couple of the guys went fishing. Peter says, I'm depressed. I'll go back to my old job. And they went fishing. Is the church with me? They went fishing. And they all night, they caught nothing. Stay with me. I'm still under the subject. Call me Peter. They caught nothing. They rode their boat coming in the most Sunday morning. Row, row, row your boat. Gentle down the street. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily. Life is but a dream. They rode their boat in. And they are so depressed, all of them, because the church mashup. Jesus is dead. There's no future. And Peter is still struggling about how he messed up. And he has not yet gotten the opportunity to make it up with God. And it is still killing him inside. So even though he asks forgiveness, he's not too sure because he hasn't got the chance to talk to God. And as they came in from a night of failure, they look on the seashore and they saw a little smoke, says John, chapter 21. They saw a little smoke on the seashore. And as they came a little closer, they saw an image. And when they look carefully, it was the resurrected Jesus on the seaside with a fire going. The text says, Jesus rose fish, rose fish, rose fish. That's nice. You guys have rose fish? Jesus rose fish and bread on the fire side. In other words, he made breakfast for those guys coming in. Is the church with me? Because he knew they were out all night. He knew they were hungry. He knew they were depressed. He knew they were a state of emotion. He made breakfast. Hey, somebody need to shout out to Hallelujah. He made breakfast for them. They came in with the boat, stay with the preacher. They came in with the boat and Jesus broke the bread and gave them and fish and they ate. And Ellen White says, they ate in silence. And then Peter don't want to look on Jesus because you know he's guilty.  Is that true in Nairo? Because that's true back home. So you don't want, you don't want to look at Jesus. So he's eating and Jesus broke the silence. So when they had eaten breakfast, I mean, John 21, Jesus broke the silence. And Jesus, hey, 11 of them, you know, you know, because Judas is gone, 11 of them there. And it is notice who Jesus addressed, who did he address? Peter, Peter, Peter. Yeah, he singled out Peter. Hey, because he knew there was some unfinished business between him and Peter. So he broke the silence and he says, Simon, Simon, Peter, Simon son of Jonah. Hey, now you understand. Simon, in the presence of these, these year fellow, do you love me more on the, what, where did I on the line? More than the rest of the guys eating with you. Did you ask me that? Oh, I can tell you, because they did not deny me. Do you love me more than Matthew, James and John? Do you love me more than them? Do you love me more than them? Because they at least didn't mess up. But you mess up so big. Do you in spite of your messing up? Do you love me? He said softly, full of guilt and embarrassment. He said, yes, Lord, you know Jesus, you know that I love you. The others could hardly hear him. The Jesus said, okay, watch this. Feed, feed my, let me read. Feed my, feed my lambs. What? Are you sure? And Jesus said to him, the second time, Simon son of Jonah, do you love me? And he said, yes, Lord, talk a little, Lord, I know. Let's start. You know, you know that I love you. Jesus says, tend to my sheep. The rest of the disciples wondering what's going on? Why Jesus not talking to us? Why only Peter alone? And Jesus said, the third time, third time, Simon son of Jonah, do you love me? And Peter get angry. Hold on, help Peter. Peter get angry. And Peter says, God, Lord, you know I love you. Not because I mess up. It doesn't mean I love you, Jesus. Don't use that to mean I don't love you. Yes, I mess up and I forgive, but I still love you with all my heart. Not because I messed up, meaning I should be off the team. Not because I messed up, meaning I'm not qualified to serve my Lord. Not because I blunder, meaning I can't serve God. And he said to him, Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you. And Jesus said to him for the third time, feed my sheep. Three times he denied Jesus. Three times Jesus restored him. Three times he denied Jesus. Three times he blundered. Three times Jesus restored him. And by the way, and by the way, those of you church members listen to this carefully. Jesus restored him in the presence of his enemies. Or you didn't get it. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Because you see when Jesus is gone, the question is who's going to lead the church and the last person they're going to choose is the man who? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That man will have no part in this church called this man. We can rely on this man. So Jesus make sure that he restore him in the presence of his enemies.  Hallelujah. Jesus will never give up on Peter. Never give up on Peter.  Three times he restored him. Jesus saw something in Peter that Peter didn't even see in himself. Oh, what did Jesus say? He's even though even though the devil tried to use him, he's the only disciple that walk on water. Not only disciple. He's the only living human being that had enough faith that walk on water. Jesus says, no, no, no, no. Yeah, you mess up sometime, but I need you on my team. Come on, come to church. Amen. Yeah, you're blind sometime, but I need you on my team because Jesus saw something in him. Hey, here the preacher, let me wrap this up for you. Let me wrap this up for you. Jesus is resurrected and gone back to heaven. Acts chapter two, day of Pentecost came, Holy Ghost came down. Peter was in the room and the Bible says, the Bible says, when the Holy Spirit came upon them, Peter got up and decided to address the crowd and in Bible and the book of Acts says, when Peter was finished preaching, 3000 people got baptized one day. Peter, now you understand why the devil wanted him.  Peter, Peter. Oh, can I, can I tell you how Peter became such a powerful style of the living God. They locked him in prison and in midnight he started singing, God sent an angel down to take him out. Hey, lead him out of prison. Peter is a good thing we didn't vote to take him off the team. Peter, Peter got, Peter got so powerful under the influence of the Holy Spirit, the text says, the text says, so that they brought the sick out in the streets, laid them on beds and couches that at least, kill me, read at least, at least a shadow, at least a shadow of Peter passing by may fall on them. Call me, call me Peter. Not perfect, not perfect. Sometimes when I should have stood up for the Lord, I faltered. Amen. But I'm not giving up on God. I still want to be involved. Yeah. When I look over my life, it has not been perfect, but God has not given up on me. Amen. And he will not give up on you. Because he wants you to be part of his team. And so here's my call to you this morning. Here's my call to you this morning. You know, there's a little song in the hymn that says, I've wandered far away from God. Now I'm coming home. I'm going to sing that song. I'm going to sing that song. And I want to say to this congregation, none of us in this church is perfect. All of us are blundered sometime in our life. I didn't give up on Peter and he's not going to give up on you. So I'm going to open this altar again. I'm going to open this altar again. I'm going to, I'm going to open this altar for somebody, anybody, anybody who, who has deep in your soul a desire to serve the Lord with all your mind. But like Peter, there have been some obstacles in your life. There's some challenges in your life. And you wonder, God, can you use me? Can you use me? Because I want to, I want to be part of the team. Not perfect, but like, I want to be part of the team.  I want a personal rooster. I want, I want a personal rooster, Lord. I want you to help me so that like Peter, I can find my way back home. I can reconnect with you. I can get my sins forgiven. I can get pardon. I can get my name cleared. Like Peter, I want to be realist, reestablished. And I just don't want to do it privately. As you did it with the disciples around Peter, I want everybody around this church and everybody to know that I've recommitted my life to the Lord Jesus. I'm going to invite this congregation to stand with me. Stand with me, stand with me. We're going to sing that song. I'm going to invite my pastors to come on up as we did yesterday. I'm going to open the service in the name of Jesus. Call me Peter. As Lord, I made mistakes like Peter, or you never give up on Peter. So don't give up on me. I invite you to come and join us as we sing. Come and join us. Come and join us. Walk down this altar. Give your hand to the hand of God. I want a smile.  God bless you. Come and join us. God, I need you. I need you. Come and join us. Coming home Jesus, come and join us. Come and join us. Come and join us. God is calling. You come and join us. We need a personal roof. God, I need a personal roof. I need a personal rooster. I need a personal rooster. I need a personal rooster. I need a personal rooster. Throw over in a mist. I need a personal rooster. God bless you. God bless you. Come, come, come. Come. Reconnect with Jesus. Reconnect with Jesus. Seek forgiveness, God bless you. Seek forgiveness. There's some folks in the back and they come on down. Yes, Jesus. I'm coming home, Lord. I'm coming home, Lord. I'm coming home, I'm coming home. Come. Reconnect with Jesus. Come, come, come, come. Lord, I'm coming. Amen, amen. And bring your children along. Bring your children along. We're going home, Jesus. It's the time we mess up.  God bless you. God bless you. I'm not giving up on you.  Is there anybody else on the balcony? This church by accident struggles in your life with another man somewhere, another woman somewhere. A spirit of God brought you in the church. Come. In case you misunderstand me, if you are in this church today, it is not by accident. It is by divine design. God brought you here for a purpose to rescue you as he did Peter. The voice of this preacher may very well be your rooster. The voice of this preacher may very well be your rooster. This may be your call. This may be your final call to make it right with your God. In the name of Jesus, don't leave this service today unless you have demonstrated to God that I surrender to you. And so I invite you. Come. If all is not well with your soul, come. If you are not certain of your soul salvation, come. Yes, you may have some stuff in your background that your wonder will God forgive you. Come. This is the call. When Peter lied the third time, the rooster code, that was his signal to start repentance right away. This is the call for you. I don't know who God is appealing to.  Hear the preacher this morning. Come. Save your soul. If all is not well with you, come. We're going to sing that last and whether you're on the balcony or you're on the back. In the name of Jesus, come. The Spirit of God brought you here to save your soul. This may be the final cry of the rooster asking you to come home before it is too late. Yes, you did some stuff but God is willing to forgive you as he forgave Peter. Come. If you don't do that, God can't save you. So I'm going to invite you to step out of your seat and come. Put your hand in the hand of the man that come to see surrender your life to the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved. Let's sing our last and I need his cleansing blood. I know now I'm coming home as they sing. Come. Come. Come. Come. The last call. I need his cleansing blood. I know now I'm coming home. Last call. Last call. God bless you. Come. Not yet give your heart to the Lord. Come. Not yet being baptized. Come. Maybe you were baptized but somehow you have messed up on the Lord. Come. Save your soul. Come. Come. Come. Never more to roll. Never more to roll. Never more to roll. The others, God bless you. Come. Is anybody else? I've read it a couple times. Jesus told Peter, Satan. Satan put in a request for you. Do you guys feel sometimes like Satan asks for you. He's on your back. Would not let you go. Ask for you. What an audacity. Jesus says, please pardon me a little. Deep down in my soul. There is still yet another person in this congregation. That Satan has asked for who wants you. He wants you. He wants you. Jesus is not willing to let you go. And so this morning if you feel that tug in your heart. If you feel that struggle in your soul. It is a war over your heart. You need to give God that victory. By yielding up to him. Says God, I am not perfect. But deep in the recesses of my soul. I am committed to serve you. But I sense the devil is after me. Sometimes I get fearful Lord. I sense the enemies after me. So I'm coming to you this morning. To hide under the shed of your mighty wings. I don't know who that describes. What if that describes you. Come. Come. Come. Because I'm lingering for you. Come. Come. I don't know who that describes. Come. Come. You sense the devil is after you. But in the name of Jesus you're not giving up. You're not giving up Jesus. Not giving up, not giving up. I'm not giving up, I'm not giving up. I'm not giving up. Is on my back, but I'm not giving up. Treat me up here, treat me up there. But I'm not giving up. God bless you. Not giving up. Not giving up. Pray for me Jesus. Pray for me, pray for me. giving up. I'm not giving up. God bless you. God bless you. I'm not giving up. I'm going to remain on this team. I'm going to get involved. I'm going to do my best. Not giving up. God, I may let you down every now and then, but I'm not giving up. Come. Come. If that describes you, come. Come. Come. If that describes you, come. It's a war over our souls. War over our souls. Say it and ask for you, but I'm not giving you up. Praise the Lord.  Yeah, you're live when you're not spoke, but I'm not giving you up. Yeah, you break this up at some time, but I'm not giving you up.  Not giving you up. I'm not giving you up. Is there another before we close? Is there another before we close? My final call. My final call. Is there another before we close? Final call. Call me Peter at the church. Amen. I want to give God thanks for those who have come forward. Go over to my host pastor. Pray for us. Give God thanks for those who came for you. We all listen to this message, but these are the children who have made their way to the altar here. They identify with Peter. They love you. They heard your voice as you call them to come to work together with you. But even as they have been serving together with you, somehow the devil found his way into their lives. Unfortunately, they never knew that even one has taken residence in their lives.  Even as we may have felt as people, they are not worth continuing serving you. Your grace has been sufficient. And so long this afternoon, they came out seeking for a reconciliation with you. And Lord, I stand in the gap this moment to plead with your grace. That blood of Jesus that is sufficient to cleanse us from all man of unrighteousness. I pray that this afternoon, my father, you may accept them and cleanse them and have a new beginning with them. The heaviness of the heart to get away. Give them assurance that you know their case. And you organize for this great meeting and brought them here this morning because you knew this would be a turning point in their lives. Write their names and knew in the books of life. Strengthen them, Lord, that I pray that what the evil one may have taken away from them, you may return it, Lord, and give them a new zeal to work for you in truth and in spirit. Just like of Peter, I pray for them that they may feed in Jesus' name we pray, amen.

One of the reasons that people don't put content out there consistently is due to the fear of judgment What if you get the facts wrong? What if you have a typo or grammatical error in your writing? What if you don't sound as eloquent as you wish you did? What if later you change your opinions? So I mean all those fears and concerns are valid. It's true.  You might have accidentally offend the whole group of people That's true. So what do you do? So if you could just stop should you wait until you are perfectly knowledgeable about everything and you will never change your opinions because You've learned everything there is to know And then put stuff out there Good luck. He will be waiting until the end of eternity, which is never Okay, so of course as I phrase it like that you realize wow, it is really silly to Wait until I'm ready because that means I will have stopped learning right Getting the facts wrong. Well, by the way evidence keeps changing and I mean, we know if we if you follow any kind of dieting and nutrition, you know that You know every few years something that used to be really super healthy is now bad for you Or something that used to be bad for you is not so bad for you anymore Facts change. I mean, that's just one field in your nutrition, which is relevant to to every ball Let's see, but what about other things? I mean in business, right some things that used to be Popular are now not so popular. I'm sure some things that are, you know, not seen as The good things to do will be popular later. I don't know things will keep changing and So if you wait until facts are static and you're not just static Before you put stuff out there, you won't put stuff out there and Therefore you won't grow an audience and it will be hard to grow a business By the way, I'm trying something different today. Have you noticed anything different today about about if you've watched my other videos? Well, I'll give you I'll give it to you. I'm not wearing my earpiece My earpiece is right here and I decided I'm just trying out the the microphone for my That's part of my webcam So those of you who have watched my other videos compare the two compare a previous video Or I've been wearing these things and and compare this one and let me know if how the audio is And if I should do it like this or if I should put on my my earphones again and and record it that way Okay, so a couple of things about dealing with judgment a couple ways a couple things that might be helpful for you one is The the thing that we've all heard which is You are a much harsher critic of yourself Than your audience will ever be Truly all the self judgments and inner criticism. What if I get the facts wrong? What if I change my opinion? What if I sound stupid? What if I have typos and grammatical errors? What if there was a perfect client that was reading or watching my thing and because of my thing they decided not to work with me anymore? Yeah, by the way, all those things have happened to me And I'm still here and I'm still me and not just me. I know this is gonna sound like a ridiculous example but Who is the president of my country? okay, I even The one of the most pathological liars ever to put you know put it to run my country is An office today.  If you're a Republican. He just is very, you know loose loose with his with what he says I mean, however you want to say it. He is Whatever things that he says is often not tied even to verifiable fact today Let alone something that's obscure. No, no, people can easily look it up and go wait. He didn't he just said that That's not true, but he's in power. He's has the highest office in the world Okay, people love him. No, not certain people but many people love him. Okay, and So okay, so just using that silly example, I have just proven to you that facts don't matter When it comes to building an audience now, of course truth matters Obviously Truth is you know, I believe I believe in two things truth and love Let's flip it around love first and then truth. Okay, let's for example read the Bible from a point point of view of love All right, and then and then we might get it right Love then truth but truth of obviously not what I'm what I'm just giving you a an extreme example is that if If you don't care if you're even someone like Trump who doesn't care about facts You just create he creates lots of content lots of speeches lots of Whatever over the years and he has a huge audience. We love him. Absolutely now again That's not my example and that's not my my model or hero by any means, but that's an anti hero That's an anti example of guys if even he can do it, right? Then why should we be afraid of facts? We why should we be afraid of getting trained to getting the truth wrong and again back to that silly example? He rambles all the time and says randoms and I ramble all the time, too And here you are watching me. I have an audience that yes, you might leave after this, but I still I still so bottom line Forget trying to get facts right Do your best, but don't let it stop you from writing or from making videos Just say what it's true now. Honestly, honestly, honestly, honestly You've got to get this into your head. Just say what you feel is right and true now That's authenticity authenticity is this is what I believe. This is how I'm living This is what I've been telling my clients. This is what I am basing my reality on right now and yes if I Learned something new if I learned that I was not right. I will tell you I will tell you know what? I learned something I used to really advocate for this and this and this and I realized that I was wrong and What is this here's what I advocate for instead and yes, you will always lose people You will always no matter what you do no matter if you are the most brilliant writer You make the most amazing videos you send out the best email newsletters. You're always going to get unsubscribed always Doesn't matter It's not you. It's them. Okay, or it's just not the right time for them to be following you for whatever reason So don't be afraid of losing people you're gonna lose people all the time But here's the thing here's and this this may this may be a revelation for you We are not trying to keep people forever Okay, it's part of our audience you're going to lose people all the time and you're going to gain people all the time if You keep creating if you keep distributing your content You're gonna gain people all the time you're gonna lose people all the time some of the people you lost will come back to you after a few years Some of the people you thought were your big fan biggest fans They're gonna hear Smith's hear something and they're gonna you're gonna lose them forever You don't know and so you've got to just not worry about that because it's too much to worry about So what did what is your job? Your job is not to be concerned if you are right if you sound smart if you are You know writing without typos if you're speaking without stumbles That's not your job your job as an authentic business creator as an authentic audience builder is To show up and be true and be loving Let's put that show up and be loving and be true and that's it and that's it And you show up consistently with love and with with truth as you understand truth to be right now Knowing that may be your understanding will grow and evolve That's your job.  I'm sure I have lost plenty of people like that I'm sure in Fact I've even heard you know and then sometimes they come back and go my god You're still making videos. You're still writing well now. I now I finally get what you're saying, okay? it's it's be in it for the long haul and Don't worry about the loss of people.   That's not as interesting for your audience It's actually I've said this in other videos before it's not The execution of your content. It's the choice of topic. Honestly, that's the biggest part of it Yes, of course if you make a nicer edited video if you are a better speaker of your better writer It does amplify it does amplify Good things, but it's the topic that you choose every day on a daily basis subtopic topic whatever you choose to talk about doesn't matter if you make the biggest mistakes in your grammar or Your students don't sound this eloquent if you've got the right topic for the right audience They're going to respond. That's just the bottom line. That's what I've discovered again and again and again Some of my most eloquent videos were on topics that my audit just goes over my audience's head And they don't like it as much as my usual my other videos It's not you Okay, it's them and it's the topic. That's that's it You just have to show up and go What do I want to talk about today? And maybe you do some planning in advance, but these days I don't even plan in defense actually. I'm I just realized I have been kind of going off the cuff in terms of my topics for for probably half a year now and Upcoming I'm going to be Starting to kind of put together. All right if I had a hundred ideas if I have a hundred ideas that I want to communicate about authentic business and that's it Then I then I die what must those hundred ideas be and I'm going to start Brainstorming that and then kind of put looking at my old stuff and trying to put put together that list of hundred ideas But up to now, I mean really not just for six months for a lot of the time I've just been going like well this week. I feel like talking about this or today I feel like talking about that and then and and here's the other dynamic. Okay one I said Just to recap we said so far you are a much harsher judge Than your audience will ever be and secondly you will always lose people no matter how smart and pretty handsome eloquent Amazing poetic writer you are you will always lose people always always always but if you keep showing up You will always gain people too. Okay, and just not only does it balance out Hopefully if you keep showing up enough and you know how to distribute your content for example through Facebook ads Then you just keep growing over time because you'll just keep losing people gaining more losing some gaining more And just keeps going up gradually over time. Okay, that's that's how it works. Okay, and third point is You won't know Whether or not something is going to work Before you put it out there You can journal all you want you can write on privately all you want but until you publish until you click post You will not know whether something is going to go viral or something is going to be flat Honestly, I am Five years. I've been in business ten years I've been creating content consistently for almost five years now and and as a prolific content creator. I Am still surprised almost every week Wow that thing I thought would do really well People didn't get it. Okay, and then you know something else. I thought well It's because I'm rehashing the same thing. I'm saying the same thing again people loved it I mean, I can't honestly I can I've stopped predicting. I don't know and That's what I hope you will take on as well. Just say I don't know if this is going to do well I just have to put it out there. That's the only way you'll know Just like with a product or service people always ask me George, you think this is going to sell I say I'll give you my personal opinion, but I'm one person and I might not even be your ideal client. I as As I learned more and more marketing I learned one thing Test and If you talk to any smart marketers, they will sell you the same thing all the marketing tactics and strategies and Predictions and forecasts and trends that I've learned. I've learned one thing Experiment that's all I've learned in 10 years. I'm sorry to say I mean, yes, everything else is the details, but the main message you must take home and tattoo on your forehead At least a temporary tattoo Just put a sticker on there Experiment that's all I really know Everything else how to run Facebook ads how to do videos how to write books how to blah blah blah how to get clients All those are details because if you know experiment even that's if that's all one thing, you know, then you are freed up to try everything Everything because something that might work That might totally not work for me might work amazingly for you and something that works amazingly for me might not work for you at all So there is no one single truth. There is no savior for you in marketing None the only savior is the word experiment That's it. Sorry to say There's no one right way in marketing. There isn't not for everybody Because for some people sales funnels work amazingly well and they can do it authentically wonderful keep doing it Some people don't like to be organized like I am and they just do whatever any day every day They just and it works for them. They get lots of clients and for some people obviously doesn't work at all, right? So it's an experiment. That's You can stop watching my videos and reading my articles and stop reading my books and stop taking my courses now okay The rest of everything I will ever say to you is entertainment. That's it Entertainment maybe some inspiration, but the one teaching I have this is to experiment. That's it And those of you who are marketers know what I'm talking about. That's it the better you get as a marketer as Smarter you get as a seller marketer business owner. You realize my god. There's only one thing. There's only experiment And I think that's probably true with any any field, right? The more, you know the more you learn the more you realize you don't know All you know is details But the one thing we know is everybody has their own path Everybody has to test to try out lots of things until they figure it out now Obviously people like me can inspire you and give you some ways to experiment, but that's it so to recap You're only judging yourself to stop judging yourself. How do you stop judging yourself? appreciate, okay Actually, I would love to know I mean there's there are more of you out here who are Who have studied the inner critic than I have I've never studied the inner critic? I've never I know never read articles about it. I just kind of go for my own experience I just make stuff up. Okay, so how did I get over my inner critic?  I breathe in love. I breathe out total complete security I breathe in love again. I breathe out joy or playfulness Switching between the two and then you know, I breathe in the virtue. I'm focusing on for the week I I breathe that that out and out of my pores. I breathe that virtue out to you know And then kind of I think about that the upcoming thing that I'm doing for example this video I breathe in, you know that virtue again. I breathe it out into this and into the thing I'm doing I mean, that's that's it. I know I just summarized but that thing that I do It takes me about 10 to 20 seconds and I do it probably twice an hour every waking hour And I've been doing it for years and that helps me a lot. I don't think I have an inner critic anymore I just I think the inner critic has left and like well, I guess you don't listen to us. We're going You but you might have a different way some people Music might help prayer You know therapy You know working with a coach all these things will help get your inner critic out of there But just know that your new critic is just it's it's illusion. I mean if I can help you with a shortcut It's just an illusion and you don't have to listen to it You could replace any time an inner critic thought comes in you just replace it with I am loved. I am The path is perfectly the path is my destiny is perfect. My destiny is secured That's what I mean by total security when I breathe that out It's it's true your destiny it well, that's what I believe and it depends on your worldview But I believe that your destiny I believe if I may that your destiny towards ultimate perfect love wisdom power creativity freedom beauty enjoyment light-heartedness Faith your destiny is secure That's it.  You're well how however you want to call it the universe Will inevitably lead you toward more wisdom love understanding creativity freedom power goodness Beauty joy all the good stuff It's inevitable. So We can relax and we can play that's what so that's what content is for is for you to play to explore to love your audience to Speak the truth that you understand to be true now that some people might resonate with and other people might completely not resonate with That's their job to resonate or not resonate. It's your job to speak It's your job to write. It's your job to share so With that I think that's probably enough for today and I hope this is helpful in some small way The other thing that you'll notice that I don't do I try not to is you know how a lot of video makers say Especially at the beginning of their videos, please share subscribe like comment It makes a means the world to me blah blah blah or they say that the front sometimes they say that the front and the end or Just the end will notice I don't do that I don't tell you to like or well, I sometimes tell you to comment because I'm actually curious what you're gonna say but Because I want to know your opinion, but I never just say comment share like whatever, you know, why I Would rather get fewer reactions, but honest ones than to have you coddle my ego and pressure you to praise me and all And yeah, one thing is psychologically better psychologically healthier not to do that in my opinion But secondly you get better data if you never tell people to subscribe like share comment You just get better or I guess you could say if you always say that then then maybe it's always, you know at certain level But I just think sometimes you might say it in a more winsome way that gets people to like comment And I just don't want to play those games. I want honest reactions I want honest feedback because that is how I will know Which pieces of my content I should do more with Right because that's how you create better and better content over the years Is to always speak for truth always love your audience But you also combine that with Looking at the data and saying well when I talk about this they really love it when I talk about that They don't get it at all So if they don't get it at all, maybe I should try saying a different way if they love this I should keep making more stuff like that because that's my truth also It's it's what I love to say if it's still true for me So Yeah, anyway, that's all I want to say. So please please never like my things Never comment never share unless you actually genuinely Say this is helpful because otherwise I'm going to get false data So anyway, thank you for for that. All right. I'm just going to read out a couple of the comments I appreciate those of you who are able to join me live Linda and Linda this sounds great captain says audio is good enough, but your phones are better This one has back on echoes. Yeah, so Thank you. Yeah Now there's a trade-off. Is it is it significantly bad looking to have this? Okay um, I didn't plug it in yet, but Trading off between the look of this versus the sound, you know the sound of this, right? So I have to I have to think about that. Um And let's see And and Alejandra, thank you says the point is not to be our best or to be liked The point is to serve by sharing meaningful content. Yeah meaningful to you Who knows if it's meaningful to them?
