Storytelling by survivors of human traffickers have been identified as a major key to sanitizing the general public of the use of irregular migration. This was the submission of the premiere of a short film titled Dangerous Hope by the United Nation High Commission for Refugees in Benicity, the Adore State Capital. Speaking after the events, stakeholders called for more response mechanism to ensuring that the scourge of irregular migration is mitigated in the society. We are airing this film in order to make sanitization to people who are involved in mixed movement with irregular movement in other countries, to make awareness to them in order that they can make a good choice because they are facing a lot of danger in those places where they are victim of smugglers and other traffickers. This program is in our line of our activity to sanitize the population, mainly those youth who are targeted by traffickers.  It doesn't matter that it's only in your house or your comfort zone that you can be trafficked. We saw that the people, even in the refugee camp, are just susceptible to being trafficked. So those are the exposures we got from the program today. NAPTIP, yes, is the focal agency in the fight against human trafficking. But NAPTIP cannot do it alone. We need the collaboration of all stakeholders to make sure that we prevent human trafficking and keep our community safe. So this program today that really highlights the problems of irregular migration and human trafficking is very, very important. There is need for us to start looking at the social media space because on social medias traffickers easily deceive potential migrants on social medias. That is the reason why movies like this can be used on social media.


Okay So John has a question quite a few times young people ask how do you know that it's not your thoughts? But it's the Holy Spirit, you know, yeah, so how do we give a reply to that, right? So so this is in line with the, you know, what we were looking at How God speaks to us in our spirit so we receive the information in our spirit We hear in our spirit and our mind processes it, right? In our soul We process it, okay. We discern it. We test it, you know Is it righteous? Is it holy? Etc. And it's all happens in, you know, within seconds So but then how do you know that it's not your thoughts, right? But we need to understand that You know when God gives or when God speaks when God emphasizes certain things It is, you know, it is your spirit, right?  It's not happening outside It's happening right here inside so the so the thing is it can seem very very close to The fact that it's maybe it's just me Or maybe it's you know, it's it's just my thoughts or my imagination Maybe I'm just psyching myself up to think on these lines. Maybe it's not God at all, right? So so that definitely is a question maybe for our own You know, we have these questions ourselves and maybe someone asks, you know, so that's a very real possibility that happens, right and and that's why we have to test all things and Hold on to what is good, you know, we need to test all things with the necessary for us to test so So how do we, you know, how do we test it? We test it with the word of God. We test to see whether it's whether it's, you know, it's righteous it's holy whether it's Whether it's exalting Jesus and so on so but having done that, you know, how do we still know whether it's You know, it's it's just our good intentions and not maybe we're praying for someone and then, you know We have those good thoughts about them. You want to bless them, right? You want good things to happen to them and and maybe we are thinking yes, you know, so how do we know that? Well There is no set formula. We know that, you know It is based on our walk with God our relationship with God and our intimacy with him, right? so so the The the answer or the tough answer is that, you know, continue to walk with God Continue to walk with God continue to hear his voice continue to do it Right and we'll grow in relationship with that, you know, one scripture which would be helpful is When you go to Hebrews and Well-known scripture, you know, Hebrews 4 and verse 12, right says for the word of God is living And powerful and sharper than any to its soul piercing even to the division of soul and spirit Okay uh and of joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intense of the heart Okay, so soul spirit thoughts intense of the heart. So the word of God Is the rena word of God is, you know, living powerful. So the word of God is definitely a discerner So, um, that's something that we can latch on to, you know, have Uh, a rich deposit of the word of God Right, you know, not just for information, but to really know the heart of God to, you know We read about this and we get to know about God's heart God's nature And how God responds and what God says and we really know about his compassion We reach, I mean, we have a firm understanding about, uh, you know, his standards his holiness, etc So we have that in our heart and that word We see is a discerner Of the thoughts and intense the discerner is to judge between. Okay. What is just my thoughts Or what is that, you know, much deeper? It's an intent of the heart And it even pierces its division of soul and spirit, you know, what is Of the spirit and what is of the soul Israel? What is of the spirit? What is of the soul? Um, what is in my mind will emotion it is something You know, that is my own imagination or it is something deeper That has been prompted in my spirit.  So that's that's uh, that's the thing The second thing is of course, you know relationship walking with God um Yes, uh, we grow in intimacy. We grow In our familiarity in identifying the voice of the spirit And how does that happen? It is when we walk within day to day. Um, so Yeah, so that's the journey because We we actually wish that there was a formula, you know, like one plus one It's two. It's very clear. It's a formula and yes, you know, I have this this and then therefore God has spoken While we do have Uh, the method the principle We need to go You know, have it the principle we need to walk with the presence of God and with both you know, we will be Hearing and doing things successfully, right? And does that help John? Yeah, okay, so so definitely we can teach them the principles, you know Young people we teach them. Okay. This is what happens. This is how you hear um But also we need to undergird with the fact that you walk within, you know And also the the thing that they sometimes we make mistakes Right, uh, and then maybe we can make, you know, we're non-critical mistakes so Yeah, just step out in faith and uh, you know Maybe maybe we make some mistakes and sometimes we we come back. We learn from those mistakes But we the thing is to keep learning keep journeying with God It's just like how I'm sure, you know, john John is married john's wife lads if she calls on the phone if john's in banglore and she's John will identify her voice Yes, john Of course Yeah, and how did that identification, you know, how did that come about, you know, even though You know, you may not it may not be a video call Because you've heard the voice over and over again, right? You've heard the You've heard the angry voice. You've heard the You know the joyful cheerful voice of glad you know all emotions you've heard Right, and it's uh, you're familiar right having Be in with her and walked with her So it's the same with God relationship intimacy with him having heard over and over again right Okay Thanks Okay, so let's so in our so we feel right there's a you know, there is a compelling Feeling in our spirit, right? It's it just won't go away. Maybe um, and paul You know writes about that.  It's written about paul Let's look at the book of axe A couple of scriptures Paul said sorry act 17 verse 16 talks about how paul is in Athens and he's stirred In is in the spirit. Okay. He's provoked within him Act 17 and verse 16 Yeah, if you're looking at the At the at the picture, maybe I'll just project it Just a minute, please. I hope you can see that Yeah, okay, so we have the spirit soul and body and we see we see that you know, we Draw information From the spirit realm, you know from the physical realm through our natural senses Right, we see both happening. Okay. So if you look at uh, yeah, I'll just play put that here um act 17 and verse 16 says His spirit was provoked within him, right? So There's something that happened in a spirit was stirred up provoked So, you know, so he felt something in his Okay, so he's able to identify Okay, something is happening deep within it's not just his mind, but it's it's his, you know, spirit within um the next chapter ax chapter 18 and verse five Uh, it says that uh paul was compelled by the spirit of course here is referring to the holy spirit But he was compelled. You know, he felt uh, you know, he felt compelled to do this You know, I need to do this and likely most likely it was in his spirit that he felt that compulsion, you know, I need to testify Um, so he was compelled by the spirit says when sylas and timothy had come from macedonia paul compelled by the spirit And testify to the jews that jesus is the christ okay, um, and then we look at um, uh one other verse which is Acts 20 23 Um, yeah 22 and 23 Okay, 22 Um, so here paul is meeting with some of the leaders elders from emphasis the church and emphasis They've come to meet him. This is the last time they're seeing him, etc and so paul Says, you know, I go bound in the spirit, you know, it's like my spirit is tied up I go bound in the spirit To cherish them not knowing the things that will happen to me there except That the holy spirit testifies in every city saying the chains and tribulations are To be uh, awaiting me like await me. So something that is physical like it's going to be a time of imprisonment It's going to be a tough season for paul. Um, so holy spirit testifies that so so he's feeling that in his spirit like in the inner man, um, that this kind of Bound or a binding or a tying up That's uh, that's happening. Okay. Uh, Ezekiel also talks about that. Um, Ezekiel the the prophet. Um, so let's look at a few A couple of verses there Ezekiel 3 and verse 14 Says the so the spirit lifted me up And took me away, you know, we we saw these Scriptures earlier when we were looking at the work of the holy spirit in the old testament We're coming back to this Lifted me up took me away and I went in bitterness in the heat of my spirit So something that he felt in his spirit Um, and he says the the hand of the lord was strong upon me and so on So you see that in the spirit In our in the realm of the spirit We Feel or we feel compelled and this is one of the Ways by which this the spirit of god Communicates to us and this is the the way he did and And he chooses to do that. Okay So the next one is of course, we have a physical seeing And we similarly the Seeing through the eyes of the spirit in the inner man Okay, now We see a lot of that in the old testament God would talk to the prophets and he would show them certain things and give them explanation of those things right, um, let's look at amos and Maybe you just look at one verse Amos chapter seven. Okay. Amos chapter seven Starts by it starts with this right thus the lord showed me Okay What did he show? Locus swarms at the beginning of the late crop Indeed, it was a late crop after the king's moans So it was when they had finished eating the grass of the land then I said, okay So he's showing him a picture Showing him it was most likely like a moving picture visual. The lord is showing The lord The lord is showing amos. Sorry. So he says the lord showed me again. We see Verse four thus the lord showed me And behold the lord called for conflict by fire and consumed the great deep and devout the territory so it was something that the lord was showing in a picture and You know, it was it was there for amos to Receive and see then thus he showed me behold the lord stood on a wall made with a plumb line with a plumb line in his hand so Here again, we see a picture that was shown to Amos and on and on, you know, we see several differences chapter eight also thus the lord showed me Behold a basket of summer fruit and then goes on to explain Right, so We see this Okay, so it can be pictures that the lord shows us It need not be physical with our physical eyes, but then you know that it's you know, it's something in your mind's eye right in your spirit um Job 33 talks about how god speaks in dreams Okay, let's let's go to job and I think it's verse 14, right? Yeah Job 33 and verse 14 Um For god may speak in one way or another yet man does not perceive it in a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men While slumbering on their beds Then he opens the years of men and seals their instruction In order to turn man from his deed and conceal pride from man Okay, he keeps back his soul from the pit and his life from perishing by the sword So so here's something very important happening here, right and right when Person is sleeping. Okay. There's inactivity physically the person is sleeping um, so god opens the years and Seals the instruction how says in a dream in a vision Okay, two things in a dream in a vision um So god gives this And what is it? It's not just uh, you know a nice dream But it's instruction Okay, he opens the years Seals the instruction And it and the instruction is some You know, it's some pretty serious consequences in the sense it turns the person uh from his deed from his actions and uh, you know to conceal pride To keep back his soul from the pit and his life from perishing by the sword So it's actually life changing. It's life preserving right and that instruction god is Uh communicating through a dream right we see that Even in in the gospels also we see that When god speaks to joseph And gives the instruction that he should take mary Because joseph feels that Okay, you know mary's come and maybe share this Information with him that she is carrying And he he decides to put her away Okay, in the sense, mary the truth and he wants to You know very quietly just Cancel this whole thing And uh and put her away But you see that there is a dream that he has And matthew chapter one and verse 20 Okay While he thought about these things behold an angel of the lord appeared to him in a dream okay, so And and whatever the angel communicated In joseph's dream was a very You know very very serious Piece of information right And what was that joseph's son of david do not be afraid to take to you mary your wife for that Which is conceived in her is of the holy spirit And she will bring for the son and you shall call his name jesus for he will save his people from their sins So all this was done that might be fulfilled what was spoken by the lord through the prophet right So then g then joseph was 24 being aroused from sleep. So he was sleeping. He had this dream What is strange is this he did as the angel of the lord commanded him and took to him his wife so He was he was very clear that god spoken even though it was a dream like he knew that god had spoken and he obeyed so probably joseph was in the you know, he was used to Obeying god and god was used to speaking to him in these ways right and and he was used to obeying god and And so when he receives this communication through a dream He just goes on to obey Right and he does that not just once but he does that does that twice Okay, the first time was this the second time was Verse 13 chapter 2 and verse 13 Okay, now when they had departed we hold an angel of the lord appear to joseph in a dream saying arise Take the young child and his mother flee to egypt and stay there until i bring you word For herod will seek the young child to destroy it Okay At least, you know, it's recorded in in in matthew gospel um Verse 14 when he arose he took the young child and his mother by night and departed for egypt So second time also he you know, it is again an instruction to preserve the life of The baby jesus Right, so he does that he obeys and then again uh, the same chapter Verse 20 So verse 19, sorry Was 19 now when herod was dead behold angel of the lord appeared in a dream to joseph in egypt saying arise Take the young child and his mother and go to the land of israel for those who sought the young child's life are dead Okay, so we see these three scriptures and we and we see that uh, you know god communicated Through his angel Some very pertinent very important life changing life preserving information through a dream Right And there's no reason why he should he should not do that In today's time why you should not speak to us in in dreams and visions And in fact when when we studied Uh, you know when we looked at uh the book of acts and how the holy spirit moved in the book of acts We see that the holy spirit intervened and uh, you know spoke to peter Accepted 10 we read about that and how uh, we spoke to peter in a trance Like the trance like he wasn't he wasn't asleep He was awake, but he had this experience of this whole visual of Uh, you know this big sheet being dropped from heaven And animals in it and he heard the voice and everything happening right, so In the realm of the spirit the holy spirit bringing this information across to peter now Uh, so it is you know, not just a physical sense of seeing but In the spirit that he saw it Right now. Well, we could say Maybe he saw it physically right before him Right, but the thing is it it might have seemed so real But it's in the realm of the spirit right Then hearing okay, so visuals then, uh, also it's uh, it's You know, we know that god Speaks to us we hear in our spirit You know, it could be like an audible voice it could be like an inner voice and we see several times that You know, we see that such instruction being given and acts 21 and verse four Okay acts 21 verse four And finding disciples we three we stayed there seven days. They told paul Through the spirit not to go up to Jerusalem Okay, a prophecy through the spirit of god and You know, we they heard the voice of god prophecy is hearing the inspired of the The word quickened by the holy spirit, right?  They conveyed that word to paul right So we see that So it could be an audible voice. It could be an inner voice. It could be like an inner witness It could be a word Right just one word. It could be a sense of knowing it could be a flash of information Um, suddenly, you know, you you you've been praying about the praying for this person And there is the sense of knowing that this person very specifically has had this problem Okay information it's It's what, uh, you know Scripps talks about the word of knowledge information about this Person that they had something about their past something they've had this kind of a, you know, struggle or a problem Or maybe at present they are going through Okay Now it's not naturally that you learned or you know studied or you you check there You know some email or somebody sent no It is the holy spirit bringing that information to your spirit So you hear it in your spirit So there could also be taste and smell and uh, the Right because those are the other two physical senses um Well, there are there are scriptures we talk about that also like God gives John the scroll to eat and then he eats it and then when he eats it it tastes like honey, but then in In his Belly it becomes bitter right John revelation chapter 10 And verse 10 Okay, then I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it right Revelation starts by Starts with this You know It says that um, John who bore witness And it it talks about what happened And what he saw right it says, uh He's in the island of batmos Verse nine verse 10 I was in the spirit on the Lord's day and I heard behind me a loud voice as of a As of a trumpet so It talks about uh him being led by the spirit into a Supernatural realm I was in the spirit on the Lord's day and then it goes on to write all this So chapter 10 and verse 10 also something that is he's having the spiritual encounter He says I took the little book out of the angel's hand And ate it and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth Okay But when I had eaten it my stomach became bitter so sweetness Bitterness something that is experiencing in the spirit because he was in the spirit on the Lord's day And he experiences this like and and sense of smell also, you know people have testified Fragrance And of course we we see the reference that we are the aroma of christ And that talks about Not the literal aroma. It talks about how we We you know bring in an influence bring in a change in the environment But also the the sense of smell just like all these, you know Also could be there as well, right? So we see that Well This whole realm in the spirit And god speaking to us bringing this information to us in the spirit and we need to discern, of course Okay, I'll just stop sharing this Right Okay, so we need to be discerning Because not every dream Is from god Like we could have our own dream and like the question that paul asked the john asked You know, it would be our own imagination our own thoughts as well. And that is why we need to test In one testimony and we see Paul writing and saying test all things. Okay, the word in the spirit agree test all things Right. So what has happened is that The cause of counterfeits We know there are counterfeits. Okay counterfeit is something that is As close to the real as possible Okay, because the real as great value Okay, we need to understand that Okay, because when you and somebody makes counterfeit currency it is it is not They don't make counterfeit of tens and 20s and 50s right the counterfeit isn't in in a In a it's like 500 or 2000. I don't know if 2000 is still there, but you know big denominations of currency Why Because it's something of great value Okay, so There is a counterfeit That is there that is made something that is as close to the real as possible, but it's not the real thing. Okay now The question is because there are counterfeits Do we reject the bill? You know, there could be counterfeit currency But does that mean that you don't you know, you don't receive or take the real one you don't use the authentic right The answer is no, obviously Well And you know, how do we deal with it? We just need to know the real And we need to immerse ourselves in the real Then we will know Counterfeit Right and that is what people do Like even in the banks and those who are you know trained to train to You know find out identify what is the counterfeit currency? They they don't They don't necessarily you know deal with the counterfeit, but they deal with the real thing They deal with the real thing. What does the real note look like real currency not look like What are the features of it? How does it feel like how much does it weigh and what are those Special details that are there because the hologram that is there you lift it against the light. What is this so they became in they become intimate and well acquainted So that when there's a counterfeit You know that it is a counterfeit. It's not the real thing. Okay, so for us We need to Get acquainted with the real Not fear the counterfeit Not reject the real because there's a counterfeit And and many times we you know, it has happened, you know, sadly in christian circles and the new age We know it's a counterfeit. We know the sources of the enemy But we we just put everything away, you know God speaking god inspiring certain things in our heart and we just put it all away You say and maybe god is giving some, you know something in the You know visually is giving a dream is just don't consider it at all, right? But the fact is that god Wants to Well, why can't why does he do do all these things? You know Well, we don't know. It's just god just chooses to right And so Yeah, uh, there's a question divya if there is a phrase impressed in our spirit Um, may not be something found in the word. Yeah, how do we confirm if the source is the is the holy spirit, right? Let's say Okay, let's say there's a phrase and uh, or you know, we were talking about a word, right? So the holy spirit brings a word or a phrase or some information Confirm that spirit. Yeah, is it's true that it may not be there verbatim in the word of god in the sense you may not find a scripture there in the word of god But but the fact is the You know, is Is that phrase, you know, is is it righteous? Is it unrighteous? Okay, it uh knowing the nature and the character of god that phrase, you know, is it is it something which is Which is in line with godliness You know, what is that phrase because you know a phrase could be a warning as well You know, or the phrase could be a word of knowledge, like let's say you're getting a word like murderer Well, it definitely is there in the word but the context is you know murderers and I think god They will not enter the kingdom of god, right? So you you're getting a word murderer or murder Um, so the thing is to to wait on god ask the god ask lord lord what more Do I do I pray? Against this, you know, is this per has this person that i'm praying for maybe Indulged in it You know in the past or lord, you know, do you want me to pray? Maybe he has an anger issue and it's a warning that that could lead to this act if he's not careful So what do I do lord? You know first thing is to engage with the spirit of god Right and say god, you know, what is it what more? And and believe me the lord will lead because he's a god who speaks and he will lead and say, okay Maybe you just you just feel impressed in your heart to pray like pray strong and pray on those lines Yeah, so the thing is to engage with the spirit of god And and test and say god, what do you want me to do? Right So how do we yeah, so how do we confirm if the source is spirit? Yeah, so the same way It may not be so Confirmation is you know As you're praying, you know, you you feel that okay I can I can just put it on the shelf, you know, maybe it's there's that that weight of god's Impression is not there Right, so we can we can just put it aside Nothing wrong can just put it aside And if you know, even if we make a mistake in the sense, you know, sometimes what happens is You know, maybe we are emotionally stirred up, right? We are maybe we are tired in our spirit You know, we are tired in our minds. We've had a long day And we don't catch these things, you know, this thing comes but then we put it away or maybe You know, we we make a genuine mistake saying that can't be god But as we pray as we ask the lord the lord can bring this back to us Right remember the pharaoh had the dream. He had two dreams same message so God spoke to him twice actually he gave a dream to him twice two dreams So god can actually bring that back In another way or maybe the same way Bring it back back to our remembrance. You can't shake it off and you need to You know do something about it, right? So So so so the thing is the beauty is that you know, we're not doing it in isolation But we're doing it with With god with him so we can always, you know, ask him lord. What is it? What do you want me to do lord? I'm you know, I'm available I'm I'm willing and And submit it to you your lordship your word. You know, that's my foundation not what more You see, you know, all those safety measures are there And and also the posture of our heart. It's one of humility And wanting to you know, uh, do carry out his instruction and and we're engaging with him. We're walking with him So Well, the lord will lead or maybe the lord will just say you know, you know that it's it's not from god fine, no problem Right. So the thing is for us to really engage with god in this way Right. Walk with him in this manner Talk to him commune with him Right because uh, and and not just You know compartmentalize Our speaking to him our worship of him Um to day in and day out that we continue to you know, we take those moments Um who commune with him, you know, uh, paul writes and he says, you know, pray, um Pray without seizing Right and use of the word Adeleptus in the Greek pray without seizing. So the thing is that it's not When we say Adeleptus apparently it is used for the person who's coughing.  You're coughing continuously Well, actually if you look at it, he's not coughing continuously Right. He has these bouts of cough and then maybe there's times when he doesn't have a cough But then he goes into this bouts of cough again Um because of various whatever condition So, you know, he's coughing Adeleptus Right. So that is what we're called to do pray without seizing pray Adeleptus meaning there could be this You know, there will be those pauses in between as we take care of, you know, things in the natural, maybe Yeah, but then we go back to Engaging with God, we're walking there just singing a praise to him talking to him, right? So um, so as we do that then We need to really engage with God in this manner be aware of what God is speaking Adeleptus I don't know the spelling. Let me just I'll give you the reference It's Adeleptus. Okay I'll I'll just give the reference I'll put it on the stream. Yeah Okay, so, uh, so that's the thing. So just want to encourage us for those of us who maybe had You know, had a bad experience. It is possible, right? They had a bad experience Um With with this whole thing of being led by the spirit of the prophetic and because of abuse You know misuse in the church abuse in the church That's no reason for us Throw away the authentic Right. I remember once having a conversation with the person once, you know, we in church Uh, I'll be to search. We have, uh, alternate months. We take time to talk about Okay Yeah, uninterruptedly without the mission. Thank you. Thanks, John Super Um Okay, so, uh, the thing is, uh, yeah, so alternate sun alternate months Sir on one Sunday of the month we take time to Talk about, you know, the baptism of the Holy Spirit pray Teach about, you know, the baptism of the Holy Spirit and and how it's for every believer and pray Right and pray with that person to be filled with the spirit And, you know, we've seen many just, you know, at the time just praying in tongues or later Start to pray in tongues and we also have had, you know, like a prophetic Like a vision and so on, right? So so we do that So once I was talking to this gentleman and saying, you know, we have this time So would you like to stay back?  It's all about character Of God, I don't want to I don't want to get into this, you know, gifts of all the power of God and just character for me. That's enough Right, um, but we, you know, then I just Asking him what and all that and I just came to know that Well, he's not had a Good experience with that who was teaching who was Modeling it. So we just Said, okay, I don't want anything of that. Okay, but we need to understand that All this comes from him And all this is for his children Right For the sons and daughters of God and all this is for a purpose Which is to benefit the believer And not to destroy the believer Right to build the church and as we saw to minister In these ways, right to further the kingdom of God to bring the gospel Right, so so we need to we will we make mistakes, you know, does a child Just begin to run and you know skateboard and ride No, the child learns Right that the child stopped Walking because he or she has fallen down a few times No, did you stop, you know riding the bike just because you fell down a couple of times turning a corner No, you got up and you rode again Right. So we learned that. Oh, okay. I should not turn Like that, you know in in a in a when I'm taking a turn I should not turn sharply. I should just be careful balance and turn So so also, you know, uh, when it comes to the truth of God's word, maybe there's abuse. Maybe there's, you know Things that have happened. Uh, don't reject the truth Raise the truth because it's it comes from him who is the truth itself All right, uh, and many many of us could have different backgrounds right different church backgrounds like I come from a you know, typically csi church of south india liturgical background so where where Of course now things are different, but when you know, when I was growing up we we never Like we we sang of course from the book. We sang the hymns. We we read the prayers. We said the prayers everything was read um, they're very um orderly liturgical and everything so Well, did we lift hands as we were singing? No, we held we're holding the books Right, uh, there's no question of lifting hands in worship and you know, uh, gospel was shared altar calls were given Only certain times when there was a guest speaker you you would never hear the gospel being preached In clarity from the pulpit. Well, that was that's a background So there's no teaching on the holy spirit. There's no teaching that this is for the believer So this came much much much later um, so Once I heard the truth. I said, okay, this is I want whatever is from god. I wanted right um, so church background So that could be one of the things why why we are holding back while we are Why we are but we don't want to move into it. So so that could be one of the reasons or just fear Right, I don't remember. There was one person who said One of our friends She she actually received the the gift of tongues and she started praying in tongues When you know, you know, none of us were praying in tongues, but but she stopped and And the reason was this she felt she was afraid that you know, what if it is not from the holy spirit What if it's from, you know, some mother's spirit And see she just stopped right But the fact is, you know, whom did she ask? Right those are questions. Who did she ask and was she living a life as a Person dabbling in witchcraft and calling on evil spirits? No a well-meaning sincere dedicated believer so, uh, you know wanting to Exalt jesus wanting to walk in his ways And whom did she pray to to the lord jesus, right? So so the thing is the lord says if As you know, if a son earthly You know about the earthly relationship, right if a son asks for a bread will the earthly father give a stone? Obviously answer is no will the will the if the son asks for a fish will he give him a snake? right or ascorpion no so So also our heavenly father No, he even more he's he's thousand times or n times Better Than our earthly father. So if you know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more you're heavenly father So, you know, if there are those kinds of fears We can put it away knowing that Well, the lord jesus He gives the best right, so so Maybe, you know, this thing has been misrepresented like other truths, right? But we don't have to fear right and we can hear from him enjoy our fellowship with him and and minister out of that overflow right okay, so So we have about five more minutes. So I just want us to just pray and talk to the lord It's time. I just pray to the lord next session actually, we'll go into Next week when we meet we'll talk about the baptism and the holy spirit and Then also we will take some time to pray in the end. But today Yeah, just take some time to pray and say a lot You know, I I eat myself to you Right and and specifically let's just ask, you know, the things that we saw The scriptures that we saw and the ways that he speaks. Let's ask the lord Lord, you speak to me Right. I want to receive in my spirit Right revelation in my spirit. I want to you know I want to be able to discern when you when you put certain things in my spirit when you you know When you weigh on my spirit when you compel things in my spirit I want to I want to discern I want to know that And when you when you give me some pictures when you give me some some visions I want to be able to discern that that it's not just my Own imagination, but it's you who's speaking When I hear when I hear this phrase when I hear this word when I hear this, you know, maybe this the scripture maybe maybe this reference But lord, I I want to Like I want to discern and I want to I want to grow in that Okay, maybe it's a it's a thing of taste. It's a thing of whatever lord, you know, all these You know ways by which you put things bring in information in my spirit communicate to my spirit I want to know I want to know I want to be able to discern and let my mind my mind my will my imagination my Everything let it be pure and holy. Let it be renewed by the truth So that when you put things in my spirit, my mind will be quick to catch it Right quick to catch it quick to hold on to it latch on to it because it's renewed to the truth as well It's renewed to the word as well the word And whatever is put in my spirit by the holy spirit. There's an agreement. Like there'll be a quickening. There'll be an agreement. I'll know For sure that But you have spoken that I will there's no step out in faith and do it Okay, so let's just pray. Uh, we'll take a couple of minutes to pray Maybe you want you can just pray in the spirit. You can pray in tongues but uh, yeah, let's just pray out and you know This is let it be a hunger Deep within okay, thank god you speak Just like sam will said Pray the prayer lord here.

You'll experience patient care that is specific to you with exceptional follow-up care that ensures your hearing and balance needs are being met. Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. The Mountain Arts Center will be holding a free movie night double feature on Saturday, June 25th. Jaws will be shown at 6pm and Wet Hot American Summer will be shown at 9pm. The Mountain Arts Center has been screening films in response to theaters closing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Well, we started showing movies last year with the pandemic because a few movie theaters around here shut down. So we are trying to fill that void as much as we can. And my opinion, these are two of the best summer movies ever made. So to welcome summer, we decided to have a little summer movie. The Mac hopes to continue screening movies throughout the summer and into the fall. We're trying to do at least one movie a month. I don't think we have one in July but August. We have Who Framed Roger Rabbit and in September, we'll be doing the Back to the Future trilogy. And in October, we'll be doing a horror movie festival Halloween weekend. Free movie night at the Mountain Arts Center is a great way to spend a summer evening out. For more information about the event, go to the Mountain Arts Center Facebook page.

Hi, I'm Eric Johnson and welcome to the Thrower X podcast. Today's guest is an absolute superstar pound for pound. Likely the greatest shot putter existing on the planet today. He is a super cool young dude and I really love this interview. This next clip we will talk a little bit and so be sure to check it out. I want to say a huge congratulations. What's amazing is that it was fifth at the greatest shot put Olympics ever. The fact is you PR in the qualifying, you PR in the final. So you throw 21-41 in the final. That throw would have won like all kinds of Olympic game. Congratulations on fifth place at the greatest Olympic shot put final in history.  Was it, you know, part of my job as a coach is always and I've had a lot of good luck with that. You know, you set a plan. This is when you're trying to throw far. I kind of do block periods, you know, where it's like I'm trying to hit multiple peaks. It's not just the old school linear thing. So how does your year look? And then, of course, you peaked at the games, you know? And again, I want to say you were fifth in qualifying and fifth in the final. So, you know, you brought it. You had, I think like, you know, it's a pressure environment. You open up with a 2084.  So how is that? You know, when you go in knowing, well, my PR is only 2011. The auto queue is 20, 21-21 and you go 21-25. You're like, sweet, I'm in. And I'm going to come back the next day.  You're like, yeah, I feel good today. Was that like? When I hit 2084, I kind of went like, wow, that was easy. And so then I was like, this could be fun. And I knew after I thought to myself, I actually don't know the statistics. But I was like, 2084 is not enough. And I always say to myself, I don't actually, necessarily, I'm not too concerned about how I do in the Olympics from a position perspective. I just kind of want to PR. And so, you know, when I hit 21-25, I was so happy. I don't, I didn't even process it. That was automatic qualification. I completely forgot the numbers of, I was super happy. And I remember asking the South African guy, what's the, what is, because I saw it hit the white line, didn't know if it was 21-30.  And so I just remember feeling super happy and just feeling like, wow. You know, that was kind of, I don't want to lie to you, but the emotion around that, the 21-25 in the qualification was coming fifth overall was almost more emotive than coming fifth overall. The coming fifth overall in the final was fantastic. You know, PRE and throwing 21-41 was amazing. But the emotion and the sort of, I was even, I was surprised from, you know, doing that, but also not surprised. It's difficult to explain, but it was just the emotion from going from sort of not expecting too much to them being there going, wow, you know, I just came fifth in the qualification. That's, that's huge. Yeah, it's massive. And then to do it, you know, in the final as well, it was, of course, the cherry on top. But just, I remember coming back to my phone and just seeing my parents that they were having a sort of a meeting with my other family members and their pictures of them on the group crying. And I think that was just for me, just huge. Yeah, that's awesome, man.   He, he hit a 21-88 on that first throw and, you know, that, that held him for fourth. But I mean, at this point, you're going toe to toe with darling Romani. I mean, darling Romani is like a beast, right? Like, I mean, that guy is huge, right? Like you've competed against him. The guy is just traps chest. I mean, he is just giant. Like a fool. Yeah. So what's it like, like, like, what goes through your head at this point when you're there and it's like you're punching it out with Romani? I mean, in all these guys, it's just like, and, you know, at this point, too, you're, you know, Walsh opened up at 21-09, right? And then, of course, he, he, he hit some better throws. But he's even to put in perspective, like his 22-47 was the Olympic record before 2016, right? I mean, it's like this, this was just like incredible competition. So I'm, I'm, I'm going on and on, but no, I enjoy it. I enjoy it.  Do you feel like, do you feel any pressure at that point? Do you feel like that's going to hold up to get you into the top eight so you can get three more? Or, you know, yeah, at that point, at that point, I definitely didn't think it was going to be enough to get me into in top eight. So I was kind of still, still chasing it. But in the same, but you know, realizing it's probably not going to be enough. I still have to be very active in, in, in trying, but also being relaxed enough so you don't mess up the timing and the throw. So I was a bit, I was a bit disappointed. I was a bit worried. And obviously after my third throw and it wasn't, you know, I thought all 2085 because I don't know if that would have qualified for the final 2085, I don't know what, you know, from what I, what I see from looking at the results, I think that, that did put you in eighth. Right. Okay.  So I was, I think I was probably, I was the last to qualify into that final. I remember. And then the South African Kyle Blichman threw 21 and his third throw. And that was when I was like, this can't happen.   And obviously the Italians don't like that about me. But I now got into the habit of having like a triple espresso before the, before I throw it kind of, it, it works really well because I'm not like used to the caffeine and whatnot. And so anyway, so I've been doing that. And then of course, the morning of the Olympic final was the only time ever in a competition where there has not been coffee that we're running late. And I remember thinking to myself, I remember thinking, that's good. You know, of course, it will happen today. I thought, like, you know, you're going to do it without it. And I remember thinking that and going in and I thought, I'm not going to let this affect me. And anyway, and then I remember off that third throw when Carl threw 21, he said to me, he's like, do you want a red ball? So I was like, no, do you have a coffee? And he's like, I do have a coffee. So he pulled out this coffee and, you know, we share that in between the next three throws. And that was kind of, you know, I don't know if I can attribute it solely to the coffee, but it definitely put me in a good focus spot and it took off from there. And I think that's one of the things that I also love the most about that Olympic finals, to do it with Kyle, not Danny South African, but you know, this young, really good thrower. But like, you know, we were two, I remember I trained with him for two months when I was in Jobe with the other coach. He trains with my previous coach for these two guys that everyone, you know, no one spoke about us leading into the games.  And I think that for me was such a beautiful moment of the competition and it helped keep me calm because I felt like, you know, we had another training session and have fun with it. And that really that helped me a lot. That's awesome. But sorry, so I don't know. I've got to answer your question. I also get a bit sidetracked. No, no, no, that's great. It's love. I love it. It's cool. It's cool insights, for sure.  And I mean, you're just thinking, OK, you made it in eighth. And now you're thinking, all right, what do you was? Where's your mindset? You just and what is coach Paula? What is he saying to you? So I remember specifically, he said it to me after the twenty eighty six in the qualifications and also the twenty eighty and also going into the fourth round. What I do when I come out the back of the circle and the arm, I don't keep the arm sort of level. And so when I dip at the hip, the arm goes up. So he said to me, he said, keep your arm level coming out the back. And so that is the only thing I was thinking in that fourth round. When I went 20 or 40, I thought, that felt good. And then again, then going off to it again, I focused on the same thing and hit the twenty one forty one. And then in the sixth throw, I remember thinking it's all or nothing. And I pushed super hard, but I messed up the timing. And I think if I if I kept the timing with the speed that I came out of the back of the circle with, it could have been something could have been something special. Now, that's awesome. But it was it was perfect. You know, I couldn't be upset. I couldn't be upset. No, that's that's amazing. Again, you just kind of kept the peak going after that, right? You were just on a real hot streak. And I think you won the Italian Club championship and finished with another PR like you had two more big PRs, a twenty one sixty three and then a twenty one sixty six. You're like, you know, a consistent 70 foot guy at this point. That is a long ways from just a few years ago where you're barely thrown, you throw 19 meters one time. So so this being said, you know, the American I think partly why I think America is so good in the shot is because these guys are just freaks. They're they're all Peyton Otterdahl, he's a monster. The guy's strong as can be. Crousers, a big fast, really strong guy like he's incredible. Joe, did you see Joe Kovacs with last year they made it on he had like an eight seventy one for four.   So that being said, what are your strength levels? Everybody wants to know this stuff. Everybody wants to know what are you a bench? What are you a squad? Like where where are you? Yes, I can't enjoy showing these numbers because it's I think it speaks to the beauty of technique. Prior to the Olympic Games, my PR was 150 kgs for two in the bench press. Wow. But now so now I've gone up to 160 kgs for two and I have done in the squat. I haven't gone over 200 for two and we only kind of do quarter squats as well. So I haven't gone over 200. OK. And then snatch. I've only gone up to 90 kgs for three. A 93 low snatch for three. And you can throw 70 feet in the shot. This is unbelievable, man. I'm just trying to think those are kind of the big mark because we don't deadlift. OK. Clean squat. Do you do jerks? We do a behind the neck jerk, but it's kind of.  You don't we don't use our legs. It's more just we stand on our toes just to get that rhythm. And I've gone up to 100 100 kgs on that.  But those are kind of the only ones that I can think that are of any interest, especially for the big, the big sort of three. So so what now you I heard you earlier say you throw one day. It sounds like you lift one day and you do a circuit. So that was that was specifically during COVID because obviously we had no like access to physiotherapists and whatnot. Got you. Got you. And in that period, I think the heaviest I went on the bench was 115, which is just crazy. Yes. But at that time, I hadn't had really consistent weight training. So it was like for me was still a bit of a hassle. OK. But anyway, but that was that was then. And but now so it depends on what part of the season we remember. We kind of do like a when we're on a training camp, we'll do two, one, two. Two, one, two, one, one, two, one, two, one, one. What is that? So so we'll do throws weightlifting on a Monday. Throws throws on a Tuesday and throws and weight. If we'll do fieldwork and weightlifting on a Wednesday. OK, so what's fieldwork? Fieldwork, so we'll go down to like obviously a stadium. We'll do some 60 meter like rhythmic runs. We'll do some hurdle work overhead throws, front throws jumps into the sandpit. So it's kind of like it's an active recovery because my coaches like to put three throwing days together and especially because especially, you know, it's on a training camp.  Well, that's been like that's been a month and I don't know where it's gone. It's it's it's crazy.  So it's really busy. So that's kind of so that's your Wednesday is fieldwork, weightlifting the afternoon and a Thursday is just weight just a throws in the morning. OK. Friday is throwing the morning weightlifting afternoon and in Saturday is weightlifting. So that's kind of how it's set up for for our training camps. And that is similar to last year, but a little bit different. There was a few tweaks. I can't remember, I was looking at the programs, but it's it's kind of that's the principle that my coach. And then how much rest do you do after a training camp? Is it like a download week? Do you completely leave everything off? Is it everything lighter? Like how's that look? So we'll do a three a three week like I've just described to you now. And then our fourth week of that training camp will be just throws Monday, throws Tuesday, fieldwork on a Wednesday. So hopefully you enjoyed today's excerpt from our interview. Please stay tuned. We will be showing the complete interview in the coming weeks. Awesome guy. Lots of great discussion coming. So be sure to check it out. See you then, everybody. Thanks for attending or watching our Thrower X podcast brought to you by Airtay Throws Nation.

Now that you mention that watch Costello, I bought that in Ireland. I know it. Abbott, listen to the watch. What do you know? It has passed very fast to you. That is not Costello. Where have you been all afternoon? Well, Abbott, see, I went to a picture show over in Hollywood Boulevard. I saw a wonderful picture called when the howling coyotes meet the riders at a purple stage in a lone prairie under a Texas moon. What's the picture about? Two jackets and tenon ears. I met a beautiful blonde in the theater and I said to her, Miss, you are the epitome of womanhood and the graceful flowing lines of your gorgeous figure are the flawless perfection of femininity. I heard it, I heard it. I like the word. All right, all right. What did you learn so much about women? I read that small print on a court today. I think you take this girl home? Yes, when I was kissing her in the hall, I accidentally struck my thumb in an electric light stuck in the wall. Then what happened? That girl just now was stoplight on a corner of something in LeBron. Power girl, could I ever go out with you?    Oh no, you can't even recite the alphabet. Yeah, well listen to this, A-B-C-1-D-E-F-2-D-H-I-3-J-K-L-4. Wait a minute, wait a minute, why are you saying the alphabet that way? Of course, I learned it off a telephone dial. That fellow, were you born in the Missville? No. What I am today, I owe to my mother. Get them out of here! If you're any further involved in London, here's a thought that makes good sense. This is your curtain call for Theatre USA, the star-studded entertainment produced for your enjoyment by the American National Theatre and Academy, here on most A-B-C stations tonight. Theatre USA is exactly that. All the glamour and all the stars that frighten the American theatre. All the nostalgia, all the excitement that our little old thought was. True, you don't see the lights that flicker from the time-selding to 53rd Street in the heart of Manhattan, but everything else is there, the great stars, the wonderful laughter, the thrilling music. You'll hear them all from week to week on Theatre USA. For example, tonight the lineup of stars will include Albert Spaulding, celebrated concert violinist, and Raymond Massey and Diana Barrymore. Don't miss Theatre USA with Diana Barrymore, Raymond Massey, and Albert Spaulding tonight on most of these same A-B-C stations. Now back to A-B-C's Aberdeen Costello show. What's on your mind? What's on my mind? Yes. My mother wants to thank you for that St. Patrick State Prisoner Center.  Washing machines? Yeah, dummy, that's a mixed master. You know, I thought it was funny. The first time she put in a tablecloth, she got back 12 napkins. What did you give your mother, the St. Patrick State Prisoner Center? Well, I gave her that garbage disposal, and I won on Stop the Music.  Yeah, they're wonderful people on our show, Albert. They don't only gave me the garbage disposal, they also gave me a five-year supply of garbage. You gotta stop hanging around in these quiz shows. You're just wasting your time. No, I am not. I was on a new quiz show last week, and it's a California Frost Warning show. The Frost Warning show has a quiz show? What's the name of it? Stop the weather. You should have seen the price they had. Fifty tons of starked histunia. A smudge pop for every female member of your family. A thousand sets of general squeegee tires. A pool table for every room in your house. A carload of strong hot dog food. A package of life staples. All the iodine your family can drink for one year. Your entire house is decorated with striping. Five hundred pounds of coffees from Brazil, and a beautiful singing wreath that they have breakfast with you for the rest of your life, and serving the Brazilian coffees. Who won all this? I did, but I had to turn it down. Why? You know I don't drink coffee. Why, does coffee keep you awake, Lou? No, but it helps.    Remember, I'm working with you. You want these people to go out of here thinking that I'm a jerk? Why not? That's the way they came in. That's a fine way to talk to me. That's gratitude. That's all the things I did for you. What thing? Remember the time you got locked in the cellar and couldn't get out? Yes.  You did. Who pushed food through a little window the all the time you were locked in there? You did. And last March, when he disappeared, nobody heard from you. Nobody knew where you were, and nobody had the slightest idea where the location is. Who finally found you? The man from the income tax. I don't blame him for looking for you. I hope you're sending your tax return this year. I certainly did have it. Every American could send his income tax to Washington. They should do that. It's the patriotic thing to do. I'm glad to hear you say that. And besides, they watch you too close. I hope you fill out your estimated returns next year. What's that? Well, that's the part of the income tax blank where it says estimated income for 1949. They want you to guess how much you're going to make next year. Oh, sure, I sold that out and I sent it in, but I didn't sign my name to it. Well, you did if you didn't sign it. How will they know who it's from? Have it. If they want me to guess how much I'm going to make next year, then let them guess who sent it in. And if they don't stop raising the income taxes, it's going to break up the whole country. What do you mean? Well, at the last session of Congress, they took a vote. And I'm proud to say that California was voted the state most likely to succeed CC. Oh, forget about the income tax. You know, today is St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick's Day was caused by income tax. What do you mean? Everyone pays an income tax on a 15 a month, don't they? Right. Then two days later, on the 17th of March, people march and praise all over the country. Well, what are people marching on St. Patrick's Day got to do with the income tax? Don't you get it? They have to march. They ain't got enough money left. All right. Hey, Uncle Louie. Hey, Uncle Louie. It's sad, but it's enough, you folks. Sincerely, it is. Why are you so excited about Norman? Well, I just rushed over here, Uncle Louie, to tell you, that they finally caught those two guys. What two guys? The two guys who voted to raise President Truman's salary. I've got a set of facts for that. There's a smart kid, Abbott. He learned to skate before he could walk. Oh, that's silly. How could Norman learn to skate before he could walk? He had to. When he was born, he was so old that his folks kept him locked in the icebox. You know what I'm gonna have to say about Norman? Remember, he's a pretty tough kid. And he comes from a tough neighborhood. Abbott, the neighborhood I come from in Paterson, New Jersey, was so tough, that when I was going to school, if we saw a kid on my block with teeth, we were sure of one thing. What was that? He was either a stranger in the neighborhood, or he was wearing an upper and lower plate. You aren't so tough, Castella. Why, for two cents, I'd punch you in the nose. You're the most honest man I know. Well, thank you, Castella. Makes my blood boil here, people talk that way about you. I'll find anybody to even insinuate that you're dishonest. Gosh, Lou, I'm sorry I punched you in the nose.  Let's have a drink on our French pencil. Okay. Well, what would you have? I'll buy an opening of that bottle of champagne at the store of my brother. Castella, I haven't got the champagne. Oh, drank it all up, eh? I didn't take the champagne. All your brother Pat has got the circumstantial evidence, Lou. No use, Abbot, it's written all over your face. What's written all over my face? I don't know, I can't read. I'm discussing with you. I'm going to leave you and I'll leave California. I can't stand this weather, anyway. Well, Abbot, there's nothing wrong with the weather in California. The California weather is very healthy. It's the people that get sick. Mr. Castello, Mr. Castello, I have a message here for you from your Aunt May. What is it, my good man?  And she wants you to come over Sunday and help get it out. Well, if he's token of death, Anna, why is she going to wait until Sunday to take it out? Well, she's thinking she won't need the money till then. If Gabriel Heeter is listening in, there's all jokes tonight. That was another one I have to tell those folks.  You mean you'd like to have my wife on the show? I'd welcome her with relish. Why with relish? Of course, she's got a shape like a hug, though. He has not. My wife has a gorgeous figure. Not another one like it. When they made her, they threw them all the way. Yes. Some guy found it and he's been making ash cans ever since. Castello, I'll have you know that my wife has been offered a job at Earl Carroll. What's the matter with the scrub woman they got now? Scrub woman. They want her to appear in the finale of the show wearing a bathing suit. And when my wife wears a bathing suit, she attracts plenty of attention. I'll say she does. She was floating on her back in the water at Santa Monica last Sunday, a street Catalina flying boats landing on her chest. Hello, boys. Well, hello. Are you all right? You're all right, Lou. She's all right. I'm glad you came over tonight. How's it about you and I stepping out after the show? You can come with me to the dog show. You're going to the dog show? Yes, and I expect you'll win a blue ribbon with my setter. Castello, from where I'm standing, you can't miss. Did it again? All right. Castello, calm down. She's only fooling.   Yes, I am. And to prove it, I'm going to take you to the opera next week. Now, Monday night, they're playing Hansel and Greville. Tuesday night, they're having Samson and Delilah. Wednesday night, they're having Tristan and Esolder. What night would you like to go? Tonight, they're having spaghetti and meatballs. They're getting meatballs. They're getting meatballs. That's the trouble with you. You know nothing about opera, nothing about culture. Mr. Abbott is right. You need more culture. You should become literate. For Teal. I was fine. Look, read good books. Books are your best friend.  Whenever you're lonely, pick up a book. When you feel like stepping out at night, don't do it. Pick up a book. Pick up a book. When do you feel like going out with a girl? Pick up a book. Well, so long. I've got to go now. I've got a date with Gregory, too. You'll have fun. After all those things you've got to tell me about how wonderful books are, you're going out with a man? Sure, I'm lucky. I never learned to read. That's only half the fun, folks. Just as many laughs yet to come. But first, listen to this. No one now listening, I'm sure, would ever consciously take part in the most contemptible crime, kidnapping. And yet, as was forcibly demonstrated on ABC's This Is Your FBI, failure of an individual to report the spacious actions to the police can aid criminals. This warning, a useful protection ant, was offered on one of the broadcasts of This Is Your FBI. And then, to illustrate vividly the need for alertness in reporting the spacious actions, the program dramatized the authentic story of a kidnapper who decided to abduct the daughter of a bookmaker. He figured a man in an illegal profession would be reluctant in seeking the aid of police. Because of the negligence of a girl who caught a glimpse of the kidnappers, the work of FBI agents was greatly hampered. The drama then revealed how the authorities finally succeeded in tapping the criminals. For an exciting and educational 30 minutes, don't miss This Is Your FBI, heard over most ABC stations tomorrow night. And now back to ABC's Aberdeen Costello's show. And now the spotlight turns to how winter's our singing star. Here he is with Maddie Malick in his orchestra. Now Clancy was a peaceful man, if you know what I mean. The cop picked up the pieces after Clancy left the scene. He never looked for trouble. That's a fact you can assume. But nevertheless, when trouble were pressed, Clancy lowered the boom. Oh, the Clancy! Oh, the Clancy! Whenever they got his Irish up, Clancy lowered the boom, boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Oh, Larry was a fighting man. They all knew he was tough. He strutted round the neighborhood or shooting off his golf. He picked a fight with Clancy then and there he sealed his doom. Before you could shout, Clancy, look out! Clancy lowered the boom. Oh, the Clancy! Oh, the Clancy! Whenever they got his Irish up, Clancy lowered the boom, boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Bruni walked into the bar and ordered up around. He left his drink to telephone and Clancy's make it down. Mulroody said, Who drunk me drink? I lay him in his doom. Before you could pat the top of your hat, Clancy lowered the boom. Oh, the Clancy! Oh, the Clancy! Whenever they got his Irish up, Clancy lowered the boom, boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. A hula hand delivered ice to Mrs. Clancy's flat. He'd always linger for a while to talk of this and that. One day he kissed her just as Clancy walked into the room. Before you could say the time of the day, Clancy lowered the boom. Oh, the Clancy! Whenever they got his Irish up, Clancy lowered the boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Clancy lowered the boom. How was your nice voice that kid? I know all about it. He's gone, please. I know it. Thank you, look, just left the building out. All right, that's it. Come on out of the club. Who are you talking to on the phone? My uncle Mike. Boy, he ain't trouble. I have made just room out of the house. He's done a terrible thing. What do you do? Well, you know the two towers first, yes. Well, he used third. Right. Castel, I'm ashamed of you.   Well, if I didn't, I wouldn't have a tattoo on my arm, would I? Well, never mind that. Our secretary, Viola Vaughn, has been complaining about you, too. Well, I don't leave it at that. Viola and I are good neighbors. It is right next door to me and we're very friendly. Castel, Viola would make a nice wife for you. Well, folks are very rich and you should do all you can to win her. Not me. Her family's too snooty. Yesterday, her mother was driving along in 1949 Hudson. And? 1949 Hudson. Well, I just last week, she bought a 1948 Hudson. I know, but she had to get rid of it. Yes, trades were pulled. Anyway, I don't need to marry no rich girl. I'm making plenty of money in my detective business. Hello. What does it say in the shovel detective mystery about this? Well, it's a very intriguing case, but I call it the case of the cannibal who cooked a long-haired musician or it was his first square meal. Well, it sounds terrible, but let's do it. Yes, I'm Sam Cheville. Sam Cheville, private detective. You need help tonight. I just left the locker room at the gym at the Y-A-M-T-A. I'm walking to my little office. I think I'm being followed. I hear footsteps behind me.  Whoever is following me has clicked on his face. I decide to garden to the alley. I sinister look a man ducked in the alley with me. I decide to run. Stop, Sam Cheville, stop. Listen to you. What's the idea of following me? Who's following you? When you left the locker room, you brought my suspenders to the back of your pants. Anything is liable to happen to you in this business. I arrive at my office. The floor is all covered with fallen leaves. There are twigs all over the floor. This is my branch office. I remember when I started this business in 1928. I didn't have a penny to my name. My clothes were shabby. My shoes were full of holes. That was in 1928. Then a horrible thing happened. In 1929, the Depression hit me, and I lost everything. I pick up the phone. Times like this that I wish my father would turn it over to the homicide squad was here. There's a real cop. When he goes after a crook, he leaves no stone in turn. I don't want anybody to turn over every stone in Los Angeles. Abbot is quite a solstice. Every time he opens his mouth, he puts his foot in it. One day while he was... Are you taking a bath? And if somebody else starts to walk you... Abbot sat right down and wrote a big song hit. You've all heard it. All I want for Christmas is my two front toes. Lieutenant Abbot is used to getting hit on the head. He's got it on his head. He's got it on his head that he has his moments there with him. Tider. Tider. Don't ever let anyone come between us. A shadow couldn't get through. Hello, Sam. It's my father, Lieutenant Abbot. Sam, you look mighty tired. Oh, gee. Come in. I've got a bag for you, sir. Oh, don't bother me.  Okay, chump.  Guys, I haven't been feeling so good. I've got...   Well, I'm ready now. Come on. I've been looking for you. Where were you all day? It's a bridal pack. Come here. Oh, it's you. You hid a better class. Package wasn't for you. You were there on a case I presumed.  Get the bags. We're checking out here. Now, calm down.  Place your cord here and I'll turn on the radio. People putting in an out. What? Get that, Sam. You're in plenty of stuff. No. Put it in. I'm sending a scene gun Magoon to prison and his mom. He just, uh, he is sworn to get her. There's a sound. The most recent gunman on the record. Lieutenant, you say that Dorothy was sworn to get me? Yes. Well, I can do it for you. She can have me. There you are. Don't move, coppers. These guns are loaded. Man, it's her. It's Dorothy.  Please don't kill me, Dorothy. I'm too young to die. I beg you. I beg of you. You're on bonded knees. Not bonded knees. You're wrong. That's bended knees. He's right. With all the stuff he does, his knees are bonded. Please, Dorothy, don't shoot me. Please. Please. Lieutenant Abbott, I'm ashamed of you.  Be like me. I'll tell her a thing or...  Boom! Now, what were you gonna say? Abbott, you're taking up the whole floor. Move over. Give me more room to kneel down. Dorothy, please, Dorothy. We'll do anything to make a man. Anything you say. Yes, Dorothy. You shouldn't be mad at me. I think you're beautiful. Come on.  What do you mean kiss and make up? We're just men. Well, let's kiss and make up for all the time we lost. Well, I don't know. My boss and machine gun were goons in prison. Now, I'm kinda lonesome. Viola, why not let Sam show you up? He's quite a lover you know. How good would you say you are, Sam? You know, in my mob, we raise the guys according to the number of girls that are crazy about him.  Five girls, he's a shotgun. Two girls, he's a revolver. Well, Sam, how do you stack up? Take hands with a water pistol. Sam, you're cute. Maybe you could be the guy to take Magoon's place. I'm gonna give you a chance. Come here. What are you gonna do? I'm gonna kiss you a couple of times. How's that?  A high-dramatic kiss? Yes, he went from first to second without shipping. Sam, I think you're better. Huh? I think you're better, Sam. Play up to her and she may not kill us. I'll see if I can make you forget Magoon. Will you spell our lines? Sam, I'll accept your proposition.   It's a deal. Sam, I'm... That's me. Excuse me. Sorry. Sam, I'm depending on you for everything you've got into this kiss. It means our lives. Don't worry, Lieutenant. They don't call me love lips, Sam, for nothing. Come here, Dorothy. Well, Dorothy, what do you think? Ladies and gentlemen... Wait a minute, just a minute. Two shots, please.  He goes with me. Now, Viola. It's that kiss. Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to hear a detective show next week, tune into the Fat Man, Hillary Queen, or this is your FBI. Oh, you get out of here, will you? Now that Costello had their final fling, we bring you one more thought on this subject. The saying goes that most fat men are good natured.  But Brad Bunyan is one fat man who's done a lot of running, more than his share of fighting. He's the private detective on The Fat Man, heard Friday night over most ABC stations. When master detective writer Dashiell Hammett conceived the character of Brad Bunyan, he saw in his mind by a tough criminologist who tipped the scales at 241 pounds. Who appeared slothful, but could move at a speed almost equaling his lightning thinking. Fast numbers of listeners make The Fat Man program a Friday night listening habit. So, for exciting entertainment, join The Million hearing Dashiell Hammett's Fat Man when it's on the air tomorrow night over most of these ABC stations. And I'll back for a final word from ABC's Aberdeen Costello Show. Well, Costello, that was quite an interesting case you did tonight. Do you like to tell the folks what your same shovel case was for next week is about? You really got you, didn't you? Do you like to tell the folks what your same shovel case for next week is about? Yes, I would. That's right. Folks, next week I will do a murder story. I call it the case of the young bride who set fire to her 60-year-old husband's beard, or there's no fuel like an old fuel. That's it, folks, and I write this working on it now. Our writing staff is headed by Eddie Foreman with Paul Conlon, that's Costello, Martin Ragley, and Len Stern. I sound men, I don't know. Our producer is Charles Bender. Be sure to be with us next Thursday. Good night, folks. Good night to everybody in Paris. Good night! Live tonight, Thursday night at this time for another great episode of our fellow show, The Grand Dragon Hollywood. Be sure to stay tuned for the Outstanding Entertainment, which follows throughout the evening on this ABC special.

And then they took me and you went back to Wheeling West Virginia and they said, yep, we're going to take you. You take a fix, you're looking for a good shape. We're going to send you to Hawaii just like that. I said, oh, how am I going to tell my parents where I'm going? Well, it was a great experience because I came here to play football and we were excited because I thought we were going to beat the Air Force. So at 7.30 we started playing football. At 8 o'clock I looked up and I saw these strange planes in the sky and I knew something was wrong. The aircraft were high altitude bombers. They were torpedo planes. And it wasn't long we were running for our lives, running back to the birds to get our rifles, get ammunition for our rifles. For those of you who were here this day, this is truly hull of ground. Thank you. Thank you for your service, your sacrifice. Words are insufficient, but we truly honor all of you veterans. You are an important part of our history and we inherit from you the traditions of honor and service that make our country great.


Assalamu alaikum. Welcome to the Beliefs of Islam with me Hassan Hadi. In today's episode we are going to talk about the existence of God from the perspective of the moral argument. As a matter of fact, one of the primary arguments which has become popular in contemporary philosophy among his theistic scholars is known as the argument for morality. Much like all other arguments which attempt to demonstrate the existence of God, this argument has remained popular throughout history and has undergone development over the ages. Nevertheless, the argument remains relatively popular as it is one which requires a decent explanation. Human beings are normally agreeable on certain principles, namely we can agree that certain actions are advantageous and that certain actions are less advantageous and also we can agree that no one likes to be hit by heavy objects in the face which cause pain. Normally, human beings can agree that it's good to be a good human being and do good and that it's bad to be a bad human being and do bad. However, what cannot largely be agreed upon is firstly what the definition of good is and more importantly where this basic moral requirement emanates from. Now said in other words, why should I be good? And what basic requirements make me need to even think of being good? More importantly, where do these moral values find their existential grounding? And what is the basis of these moral requirements? This is an extremely deep existential question which must cause us to consider our very lifestyles. What is good and why should I even consider being good? Upon the atheistic materialist worldview, we are merrily animals who have evolved from the genetic soup and have a desire to survive and continue due to our evolved nature. Yet we find that animals tend not to observe any facts or observations for morality. When a male shark goes enforceably mates with a series of female sharks, we do not entitle this shark as a serial rapist, nor do we find that when one male wild, ferocious animal kills another of his species, do we consider this murder? Some may argue that we human beings as a more sophisticated animal have evolved to a point where we observe morality. The question is, from where did this morality come from? Some may argue that it comes from the need to survive as a human race, but what if I do not recognize the needs of the greater human race above mine? What if I care not for observing the greater good of the human race and reject these laws? Why should I be held accountable? What could be said to convince me that outside the minds of men, these laws have any meaningful existence? More importantly, what are these laws? Now, if one argues that they are what society agrees upon as a consensus, then morality is constantly fluctuating and cannot be considered objective, but rather subjective and therefore is meaningless. Because if morality fluctuates according to our desire, then why should I care about them, or even take them seriously? Why should anyone at all? For example, if one argues that morality is what we as human beings agree upon in society, then in 1940s Germany, society agreed upon the need to kill innocent human beings because they were Jewish or Gypsy, for example. Would such an agreement be considered moral? Surely not. For morality is clearly something objective, something beyond the whims and desires of peasant human minds, yet the atheists cannot simply explain it. Yet the believer, on the other hand, has good reason and justification to explain the origins of morality and where they find their existential value, namely, these morals are grounded within the nature of God, who has existed eternally and is the standard of good and evil. The argument for morality, in summary, could be phrased as follows. First, if God exists, then objective morality exists. Second, objective morality does exist, therefore God exists. Atheists attempt to refute this argument using a counter-argument. It's called the Euthyphrodilema, named after a character in one of Plato's dialogues. It basically goes like this. Is something good because God wills it, or does God will something because it's good? If you say that something is good because God wills it, then what is good becomes arbitrary. God could have willed that hatred is good, and then we would have been morally obligated to hate one another. That seems absolutely crazy. Some moral values at least seem to be necessary. But if you say that God wills something because it's good, then what is good or bad is independent of God. In that case, more values and duties exist independently of God, which contradicts premise one. Now the collapse of the Euthyphrodilema is in the fact that the dilemma it presents is a false one, because there is a third alternative, namely, God wills something because he is good. God's own nature is the standard of goodness, and his commandments to us are expressions of his just nature. This is for today, until we meet next episode. Thank you, and assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
