Tonight we're in chapter 8 here in the Gospel of Luke. We're going to be looking at verses 16 through 25 as we continue our study here in the Gospel of Luke. And so what we'll do is we'll be taking verses 16 through 18 together, then verses 19 through 21, and then verses 22 through 25 as we continue our verse by verse study in the Gospel of Luke. So let's begin reading here in Luke chapter 8 at verse 16. I'll read Luke 8 verses 16 through 18, and we'll get into our study. Jesus in Luke chapter 8 verse 16 says, No one when he has little lamp covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lamp stand that those who enter may see the light. For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. Therefore take heed how you hear, for whoever has to him more will be given, and whoever does not have even what he seems to have will be taken from him.  A lamp is used here to illustrate who we are. The lamp is used to illustrate our mission in life, and his point is Christians are to shine brightly in the midst of a sin-darkened world. We're to be the light that is shining brightly in a world that is walking in spiritual darkness. That's our purpose. That's what God intends for us. Jesus said in Matthew 5, 16, Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven. And so the purpose of the church is to shine brightly, even as the purpose of a lamp is to produce light in a darkened room. You don't get a light and a lamp and turn it on, Jesus says, and then hide it. You don't put it under a bed. You don't cover it with a basket. You light it in order that it might illuminate. Well that's what we're supposed to do. When we receive the Lord as a Lord and Savior, He intends us to live in such a way that people obviously see that God is alive and working through us. You see the body of Christ is intended by God to reveal the invisible God. In the Old Testament, God spoke to the nation of Israel and said to them, You will not have a graven image. You are to carve no object that is to represent me. None whatsoever, because God is the invisible God. The nation surrounding Israel during the time of its inception were pagan nations, and they were idolaters, and therefore they had trees and rocks and various things that they would worship. They would carve a piece of wood into the image of a man, and they would use it as an idol, and they would pray to it and ask it to deliver them and all of that. And here's the nation of Israel being taken out of Egyptian bondage, and God begins to do a work, and the Egyptians were flat out pagans. They were idolaters, and so God gives to them the Ten Commandments, and within them He says, You're not to make a graven image. You're not to bow down and worship it. I'm the Lord thy God, and I'm a jealous God. And so the nation of Israel is unique in that it is taken out of the midst of idolatry and commanded to worship the invisible God, and that's exactly what they did. God still intends to be worshiped, but God also still intends to communicate His attributes to people, at least those attributes that can be communicated. And so He chooses to do that through a people. We worship the invisible God, but God in a sense manifests Himself through our lives. So the invisible God we worship is actually pouring into us through His Spirit, His graces, His gifts, and there are evidences that God exists because His church does the works that bring glory to Him. And so that's what we're called to do. We're called to walk and to work in such a way that God is honored and glorified, so we let our light shine before men. That's what Jesus is speaking about. And so what we're to do is to openly manifest the light of Jesus Christ because light is necessary in a world filled with moral darkness. That's what I was taught from the very beginning when I first got saved. I was taught, don't put your light underneath a basket. Don't hide it from this world because the world needs to see it. Now, unfortunately, many people are ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. There are quite a number of Christians who are afraid to open their mouth and to say, I follow Jesus Christ. There are a variety of reasons, I'm sure, for that, but the bottom line is that they don't. Many Christians just simply don't talk about Jesus. It's just, I guess, not cool to do that. I guess it's not acceptable to do that. Maybe they're a bit ashamed to do that. But unfortunately, because Christians aren't speaking forth the truth, well, the world is being enshrouded by a lie. And so Jesus says, listen, you need to make sure that the light shines. Make sure that you're open about your faith. Make sure that people know that you love Jesus Christ. Paul said, I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. When he said, I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, it's the power of God into salvation. He was not afraid or ashamed. He didn't shrink back from declaring what God had given to him. He says to the Corinthians, that which I received, I gave unto you. I delivered unto you. Jesus Christ has revealed himself to me, and I'm revealing to you what he's revealed to me. And so he is very open to what the Lord has said to him. And that's what Jesus Christ taught us all along, that we're to live in such a way that we shine his light. We need to remember that darkness is the spiritual condition of every person entering into the world. Darkness, they enter in spiritually dark. Paul said that in Ephesians chapter 4 verse 18. In Ephesians 4 18, he said, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of the heart. And so the condition of every person who enters into the world is that he has no relationship with God and therefore walks in spiritual darkness. So as a lamp, the church is to provide light in the spiritual darkness of the world system. That's what we do. We live as light in a sin-darkened world. And first Peter. Peter said it this way in chapter 2 verse 9.  And so that's what Jesus is speaking about here in Luke chapter 8 verse 16, when he says no one, when he has little lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lamp stand that those who enter may see the light. And so as a lamp, we are to provide light in the spiritual darkness of this world system. Now notice verse 17. He goes, for nothing is secret that will not be revealed nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. People may cover up sin in their lives. And they can do that. But they will always fail in the end. Because God brings to light every hidden thing and He judges righteously based on that which He exposes. In Ecclesiastes 12, 14 it says, God will bring every deed into judgment including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. So I might think that I got away with something. But ultimately I am aware of the fact that God judges righteously. You know, sometimes we might watch the news or read a newspaper or magazine and we read of how somebody seems to get away with some very evil thing. They just don't find the person who did it. Recently, as all of us are aware, there was a little girl who was abducted in Portugal. She has English parents.  And I hear of that. And obviously, like you, my heart is touched by that. I am amazed and in pain over such a thing. Who would do such a thing? And many times the monster who did that is not found out, this side of judgment. But he will be found out. He will be dealt with. And that ultimately is something that I, frankly, I fear on that person's behalf. But I also take peace and comfort in that because the Lord is going to expose every evil thing. The Bible in Romans chapter 2 verses 6 through 8 says that God will give to each person according to what he's done. To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, he'll give eternal life. But to those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. And so Jesus says, nothing is secret that will not be revealed. God is going to put his searchlight and people's lives and what we may think we're getting away with will be revealed on that day. In verse 18, In the things of the Spirit, a person is always either gaining or they are losing. He's either advancing or he's declining. And when you receive in faith the things of the Lord, your life grows in maturity as well as spiritual experience. And as you receive Christ, you have. But as you have received Christ and he's given to you, through your experience you gain more and more and more. You continue growing in the things of God. You already have, but you're going to be given more. You see every blessing is a taste of future blessings and experience in Jesus Christ. So we grow in grace and we grow in the experience of the things of God. So you get saved, we'll say 10 years ago, and as you walk with the Lord for 10 consecutive years and you do so in a faithful way, well you've been growing over the 10 years and you know more and more of the things of the Lord Jesus Christ. I remember when I first got saved a few years ago now, when I first got saved, I couldn't pronounce some of the books of the Bible. I had no clue how to say Ecclesiastes and things like that. You know, I thought the book of Job was job. I mean, what do I know? And seriously, and so I would read the Bible and I didn't understand 99% of what I was reading. Now over the years I've gained a little understanding and experience in the things of the Lord and so I've grown and that's what happens with you too. You add to it. You add to your faith, you add to your understanding. You add to the things of the Lord and as you do so you continue to advance in the things of God. Why? Because you received Christ and you began your walk with the Lord and over the weeks and months and into the years you continue to advance and so you continue to grow in those things and that's what the Lord would have for you. Whoever has to him more will be given and yet if you don't open up in faith you're not going to receive anything but you do eventually lose everything. It's been said zero plus zero always adds up to zero and so no trust in God so you progressively grow colder to the gospel. You might have begun at one point considering things of the Lord. You may at one time have thought, I wonder and all but when you don't act on that it just eventually just, it's gone. You know, I've had people say in the past it's such a blessing to see young kids get saved. What a miracle. It's always a miracle when someone gets saved, always. And we always rejoice when somebody gets saved. There's no doubt about that. But the greater miracle is when an older person gets saved because they've had an entire lifetime of hardening to the gospel of Jesus Christ. An entire lifetime of experience that has actually led them away from him and so when I see people who are older committing their hearts to Jesus Christ to me that is a tremendous, a tremendous miracle. But if you begin in your walk with faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, you grow. If you resist and refuse him then ultimately there's no advancing for you. You only are regressing. Moving into verse 19 then his mother and brothers came to him and could not approach him because of the crowd and it was told him by some who said my mother and your brothers are standing outside desiring to see you. But he answered and said to them my mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it. Now what an interesting passage there. Jesus is teaching in a home in the city of Capernaum. It's probable that he's in the home of Simon and Andrew. And by this time Joseph, his mother's husband has more than likely been dead for several years. The last time Joseph is mentioned in Scripture is when Jesus was 12 years old. Jesus is now 30 years old and he's now performing his ministry. So his family now consists of his mother Mary and I want you to notice this, his half brothers and he also has unnamed sisters. Now when it says here in verse 20 it was told him by some who said your mother and your brothers are standing outside desiring to see you. You might find this interesting but the brothers of Jesus are mentioned by name in the Gospel. Matthew chapter 13 verses 55 and 56 actually give us the names of Jesus's half brothers. These brothers of the Lord Jesus Christ were born of Mary and Joseph in a natural way. Jesus obviously being the son of God so these are his half brothers. And according to Matthew chapter 13 verses 55 and 56 the question is asked is this not the carpenter's son?  Where then did this man get all these things? And so the Lord Jesus Christ had brothers and what is remarkable to me as well as unnamed sisters and what is remarkable to me is when you study the Bible and you look in John's Gospel chapter 7 John makes it very clear that even his brothers did not believe in him and so to me that's an amazing thing that they could grow up in the same home with the son of God an absolutely perfect being and not embrace him in faith. I mean imagine that for just a moment. How would you like to grow up with a perfect person? Some of you probably would say well I already did that's how my mom used to treat my sister like she was perfect but in reality how would you like to live in the same home with a perfect person and that's what they did they grew up with Jesus Christ Jesus never did anything wrong he never spoke back to his mom he always was home on time he never did a single thing wrong he didn't get upset about anything and when his mother said make your bed he would create a bed no I'm just kidding he didn't do that but you know I mean he must have been just an amazing brother to have and yet the Bible tells us that even his brothers did not believe in him and yet he has these brothers these brothers are mentioned by name as I said James, Josie, Simon and Judas and he has unnamed sisters and so it was told him in verse 20 that your mother and your brothers are standing outside they desire to see you and so they're there at the door they're summoning him to come outside to them now it would seem to me because Jesus is ministering here it would seem to me that they must have thought that he would immediately cease speaking now obviously your mother is extremely important you are to show her proper respect and it would seem that perhaps they assume that even if he's sharing that he's going to stop doing what he's doing in order that he might go out there and meet them because they're requesting for him to come outside it makes sense to me and yet he doesn't do that he takes that as a teaching opportunity notice how he responds in verse 21 he answers, he says to them my mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it now was Jesus rejecting Mary and his brothers no the fact is he loved them as a matter of fact he loved them an awful lot more than they loved him but what he was doing in his teaching is he's inviting people to be part of his true family through faith in him and the point that is being made here is anybody can be a part of his family to embrace the gospel the Bible says in Galatians 3 26 you're all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus and so there's something more important than stopping what he's doing at that moment and that is declaring the message of the gospel and illustrating through this experience how important it is to embrace him through faith that's what God has called us to do now at first we would automatically believe that Jesus' family would have first priority but true discipleship transcends family relationship God's families opened any who would come to him through the son Jesus Christ it's been said Mary was more blessed in receiving the faith of Christ than in conceiving the flesh of Christ Mary was blessed because she kept the word of God not merely because she gave birth Mary's closeness to Jesus as a natural mother would have been little help for her salvation if she had not born Christ in her heart you see we are not automatically in his family we came into the family through obedient faith in other words being part of the family of God requires more than simply stating that you believe it's demonstrated by a life that actually consists in pursuing the things of the Lord I want you to see this in verse 21 my mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and what do it and do it I was reading something recently I'm trying to recall what it was that illustrates this we've gotten to the point that we emphasize our personal relationship with Jesus Christ and sometimes make it seem that all you need to do is affirm certain things agree with them you simply agree with them intellectually and that brings you into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ but we fail to realize that that is true but there will always be evidence that I made that decision I have encountered over the years too many people who when you talk to them will tell you I'm a Christian who have evidence whatsoever not just that one time I've met them but over a consistent meeting with them they don't in any way shape or form appear to have any relationship with God and haven't for as long as I've known them and yet when you speak to them sometimes they'll argue with you and sometimes aggressively that they already are Christians I am a Christian and when you begin to ask them how do you know that you're a Christian they'll tell you well I believe in God but the Bible makes it very clear and I want you to see this here because that's what Jesus is saying it's a person who enters into the family of God is a person who not only hears the word of God it's a person who hears and does in other words you don't just simply agree but you actually perform in Luke in chapter 11 verses 27 and 28 Luke writes it happened as he spoke these things that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to him blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts which nursed you but he said more than that listen blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it blessed is the person happy is the person complete is the person whole is the person who hears the word of God and does it salvation the Greek word for being saved can also be used in terms of being healed when somebody was healed they were made whole and salvation is intended by God to make you whole not to give you this sense of like God is an insurance salesman who provides life insurance and fire insurance for you but that God is saying to you I'll have a relationship with you that you and I can have fellowship Jesus said in John 17 this is eternal life that they may know you the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent eternal life he said fellowship with God a knowledge of God a relationship with God and when a person gets saved a person can have a physical healing of course I believe that God heals the Bible teaches that he does but not only are you made whole physically and can be made whole physically but you are made whole emotionally you are made whole spiritually you are made whole as a person you become real kind of like when I was growing up there was a movie that Walt Disney a cartoon that Walt Disney had brought out it was called Pinocchio I used to call it Pinocchio but it was Pinocchio and Pinocchio was that little wooden boy that wanted to be alive and what we are is we have the outer appearance of life but we are spiritually not alive you don't become alive until God produces life within you and God created Adam Adam being formed from the dirt laying there in perfect beauty was absolutely dead even though he had the appearance of life he didn't become alive until God breathed into him the soul or the breath of life and then he became a living being and God intimately did that in order that he might have fellowship with God what we are is dead men walking we are walking without the spirit we are walking without life we are walking without the reality of fellowship with God but Jesus Christ said listen you can have a relationship with me but you need to not only hear what I say you need to put into practice and the thing that I am saying to you is you need to be born again that is the first thing you need to do is you need to receive Christ as Lord and Savior and so you say God be merciful and to me I am a sinner I am separated from you and Lord I am totally and completely in sin that's what I am by nature I do those things that you disapprove of it's not simply because I was raised in a certain way it's Lord it's that I am a certain way I am a man without your spirit and therefore I need your touch and so that's what we get in the gospel of Jesus Christ that God so loves the world that he gives his son so that we can believe and have everlasting life as the gospel does for you see and it changes your life walking with Jesus Christ transforms your life so an individual who says oh I've got a relationship with God but has no evidence whatsoever is lying to themselves lying to themselves see God is the power of the universe and when you come into contact with him there's going to be something that happens within you there will be an evidence of that reality I have a friend of mine Bill Goodrich I haven't seen him for many years but I do remember the last time I saw him because he came and visited me at my house he and I served in the military together we went through basic training together and lost contact with one another but over the years he remembered where I lived and on one occasion he came and visited and when he came and saw me he was sitting in the front room and we were speaking and I asked him Bill what's going on with your life he said you remember how you told me about Jesus Christ the first Bible I ever had I gave it to him and I said Bill you need to get right with God and this is the Bible read it and put your trust in Jesus and so he said do you remember how you gave me the Bible and it was years before and I said yes I do he said let me tell you what happened he says I work for the electric company he's alignment he says I was on top of one of these high powered, high voltage towers and I grabbed hold of a live wire and he said I literally blew into pieces and he lifts his shirt and there's a hole on the side of his right here on his right side a hole there that had blown out and then he lifts his pant leg and he shows me his calf and his calf had been blown out he was literally beside himself and so I'll let you I'll wait for you he was blown away but as that happened what a shock as that happened he said man I was laying there smoking he said my body had been exploded and I'm laying on the ground there with a hole in my side and a hole in my calf smoking I should have died with the thousands of volts I went through he said I should have died he said and do you know that encounter caused me to realize there's no guarantee for my life that I can go on another day I do very dangerous work and it awakened me I committed my heart to Jesus Christ when you come into contact with power there is an evidence when you come into contact with power of God he doesn't blow you up but he recreates you he transforms you into the image of Jesus Christ you actually will change not just because you wake up in the morning and you kind of just sit around saying okay change me lord change me but because you hear what God has to say and you do it you hear what he says and you do it they only did musicians they didn't just walk up one day and pick up a guitar and just start doing runs you know they're not these people who do this air guitar thing I think man you don't get a real life but they're not that way these people practice they practice constantly they practice constantly so that they might perfect the skills now if you do that with anything would you have to if you practice anything constantly practice makes perfect maybe not perfect but it makes you better if you practice a variety of things you can get pretty good at it you can get very very adept at it well when you're walking with the lord Jesus Christ when you're practicing the things about when you're hearing and doing your life transforms and so Jesus is making it very clear listen you think that my mom and my brothers because they're physically part of me have a priority over everybody else I honor my mother and I love my brothers there's no doubt about that love them more than they love me but the reality is this if you want to be part of God's family you need to hear the message and obey it because as you hear and you obey you will be transformed and that's what the lord would have for all of us now moving on into verse 22 it happened on a certain day that he got into a boat with his disciples and he said to them they sailed to the other side of the lake and they launched out but as they sailed he fell asleep and a wind storm came down on the lake and they were filling with water and were in jeopardy and they came to him and awoke him saying master master we are perishing then he arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water and they ceased and there was a calm but he said to them where's your faith and they were afraid and marveled saying to one another who can this be for he commands even the winds and water and they obey him now let's give this a context and then we'll look at it and there's some things I want to share with you that I think will be a benefit if you listen I think there will be a benefit to you especially as we look at this passages one of the most powerful passages in the New Testament but let's give it a context Jesus has been ministering non-stop he's been teaching the people Mark 1.28 tells us that his fame had spread throughout all the region around Galilee so his desire is to leave the area in order that he might continue ministering to other people so he and his disciples are launching out towards the eastern shoreline of the sea of Galilee that's where they're going but the Bible tells us in verse 23 as they sailed he fell asleep so Jesus is exhausted having ministered entire day and he's now fallen asleep so in the cool of the evening a sudden storm strikes violently shaking the water the sea of Galilee surrounded by hills and it's like a basin and when you go to the sea of Galilee if you're on the western shore and you look to the west towards the Mediterranean when you're standing there on the western shore the sea of Galilee and you look to your left we'll say if you're looking north towards Mount Hermon if you just look to the left there to the west there is a mountain small mountain range it's called the Arbal we've been there many times and so what it is it's a V shape that is cut out of this this mountain's low mountain range and so the cool air from the sea comes in and it blows through the cleft of the mountain rather the warm air and it meets the cool air that's coming from Mount Hermon so when the warm air that comes from the Mediterranean coming through the Arbal meets the cold air that's coming from Mount Hermon there it can create violent storms we have been on the sea of Galilee when storms have erupted nothing like this one here but we have been there when those things happen they still to this day can and do happen and what is happening is these storms are it's almost well what it's like is like an earthquake generated storm condition on the water with a cyclone effect above that's what's taking place that's what it's speaking about when it speaks concerning the wind being violent it's very very very frightening these are experienced sailors but they are absolutely frightened so Jesus is sleeping here even as it says and as he's sleeping there peacefully the boat begins to fill with water and they know that they're in danger they're in jeopardy Matthew 8 24 says a great tempester rose on the sea so that the boat was covered with the waves according to Mark 4 37 the waves beating to the ship so that it is now full and so they're thinking they're going to sink but Jesus is there sleeping and so the disciples are greatly concerned about this obviously notice verse 24 and so what do they do well they came to him and they awoke him saying master master we are perishing so they come and they begin to cry out to him now they're terrified as as I would be they're experienced fishermen but they believe nothing can be done to save them in other words they think they're about to meet their maker but they've forgotten they already have and that's their problem now I want to add something and I want to develop something for you because I think some in this room might benefit from this insight that I want to give to you you see when Mark chapter 4 verse 38 speaks concerning this event Mark adds these words Mark 4 38 teacher don't you care that we perish don't you care that's one of the questions people ask of the Lord constantly God you see what I'm going through you see the danger I'm in you see the pain that I'm experiencing you see the heartache that I have you see the disappointment of my life you see the need that I possess and I lost my job my wife isn't faithful my children are bad my husband has been violent you see this you see my condition and I cry out to you and it seems like heaven is brass your ear is deaf you don't exist what's going on you see what I'm going through but it seems to me is God so love the world well God I'm part of that world and if you so love the world why does it seem like you don't love me why does it seem that my life is going nowhere why do I do the best that I can to raise my kids and I do everything I can and they don't even want to go to school they cut class they're not studying and yet the people who live across the street who are never even around their kids the kids are doing great honor roll my kids barely able to read and write doesn't want to do that and God I've done the best that I can to raise them I just don't understand this what's going on this is typical I mean you see this all through the Psalms in Psalm 10 verse 1 the question is asked why do you stand afar awful Lord why do you hide in times of trouble there are a lot of us in this room who have said that God in the midst of my morning in the time of my sorrow the tears are just flowing from my heart and spilling from my face and I'm asking you for help and it doesn't seem like you care why do you stand afar off Lord get involved do something help me extricate me do something Psalm 13 1 how long will you forget me forever how long will you hide your face from me God I'm crying out to you and it seems like you're not even there I'm moaning I'm weeping I'm in need Psalm 44 23 and 24 awake why do you sleep oh Lord arise do not cast us off forever why do you hide your face and forget our affliction and our oppression Lord don't you care that's the bottom line and I read my Bible and I see intimacy God loves God knows me he knows the number of hairs on my head and he knows the thoughts my mind he knows the words before they're even formed and escaped my tongue he knows everything about me he knows the things that I fear and the things I have confidence in he knows my hopes he knows my dreams he knows the things that would break my heart and he allows them sometimes in my life why why why don't you care listen we all go through various things none of us is exempt from hard times and I've discovered something it's through these times that the Lord draws close to us Psalm 77 verse 6 says I call to remembrance my song in the night I meditate within my heart and my spirit makes diligent surge song in the night God gives us songs in the night in the midst of the darkness in times of fear and trouble in our times of doubt and uncertainty every one of us goes through darkness every one of us walks through the valley of the shadow of death every one of us does not a single one of us is exempt from that when my father died my dad died on a Thursday I bought a casket bought a plot for him on Saturday I had a servant Saturday and I came and did the servant Saturday and I asked the question of the congregation perhaps some of you may have been there that day and I said something like how many of you have lost somebody that you love mom and dad somebody that that you love with all of your heart who died and they didn't know that my father had died so I asked the question and said how many of you know of somebody loved somebody that died and a good number of them raised their hand and I remember saying I just joined your fraternity my dad died on Thursday and that was dark that was pain that was the darkest thing I'd ever experienced it was very hard two years later my father-in-law dies in the same hospital room two beds away from where my father died I stood there with my father-in-law who had become my dad because my dad was gone and I stood at his feet and I watched him and I watched that monitor with my brothers-in-law and my sister-in-law and my sons as I watched my wife's father die and I watched that monitor as the heart beat slowed and stopped I look in at the body of my father-in-law and I look to my left two beds over where my dad died two years almost to the day see my dad died February 15th my father-in-law died February 13th two years almost to the day in the same ICU room I look over there you know before he died he was in a coma and I approached him and stood next to him and I touched him Marie and I and I said I said, Papa I want to say two things to you that I've never told you and I remember touching him as he was just there quietly laying and I said I want to tell you two things that I've never told you I said I want to one I want to tell you I love you I never told you and two I want to tell you thank you for the way you raised your daughter my wife you go through darkness you go through pain you go through suffering you go through sorrow and you can sometimes say don't you care Lord I cry to you the evil seemed to get away with everything you see my father-in-law was a good man my dad was a good man they died early and yet God I have to be honest I see this 90 year old man that I know he was actually 96 years old he was a molester he was an evil man and he lives 96 years why do the good die young Lord my dad never got to hold my grandson I wanted him to he didn't attend his granddaughters wedding and it was midst why anybody who know what I'm saying around me talking to myself why why Lord why listen Lord don't you care is the worst question you can ask because he does care he does it's just our circumstances surrounding us can draw our attention to the point of failing to remember his promises God gives us songs in the night in the night seasons because as we go through night seasons we're caused to draw closer to him that we might learn that he never leaves us that he never forsakes us Jesus said these things I've spoken to you that in me you may have peace in the world you have tribulation be of good cheer I have overcome the world and so as they're crying out notice verse 24 what he does he arose and he rebuked the wind in the raging of the water and they ceased so he did respond to their request he did rise up and do something and the disciples are now learning a tremendous lesson they're going to learn something God is aware of their every need and he doesn't leave them nor forsake them Psalm 186 says in my distress I called upon the Lord and cried out to my God he heard my voice from his temple and my cry came before him even to his ears and so Jesus rebukes the wind the raging of the water and ceases there's a great calm and so Jesus reveals to us that we worship a God who acts on our behalf he's not distant from us, he's personal he's alive and he helps us in times of trouble he's a master over creation he speaks a word and nature responds Psalm 89 verse 9 says you rule the raging of the sea when its waves rise you still them in Psalm 107 29 and 30 he calms the storm so that its waves are still then they're glad because they're quiet they're the desired haven and so the Lord Jesus Christ does that work, he responds now notice verse 25 he actually turns and he says where is your faith why are you fearful why are you faithless now you might ask yourself this question be honest with you you might not understand why is confrontational you might ask why why are you being confrontational well Jesus actually sent them into the storm there's nothing secret from him he knew that he sent them into the storm storms in times of uncertainty actually are used by the Lord to teach us to trust him and each person who trusts in the Lord goes through storms that will test in every way why was he confrontational why did he question their faith well the answer has already been supplied I want you to see this in verse 22 I want you to see it again why is he saying why did you doubt why did you have no faith well verse 22 it happened on a certain day that he got into a boat with his disciples and he said to them what did he say let us go over to the other side of the lake what are you saying Jesus I'm saying we're going to get to the other side my order was let's go to the other side I've already told you we're going to make it I said let us go I intend to make it through the entire journey and you will too and as long as you're with me you're safe that's why he could sleep he was going to make it and so were they in Isaiah 41 10 it says fear not I'm with you be not dismayed I'm your God I will strengthen you I will help you I will uphold you with my righteous right hand he said let us go over to the other side of the lake therefore you will make it to the other side of the lake that's just the way it is that's why when we go through the things that we go through he will never leave me nor will he forsake me I am an overcomer I am victorious I will make it through there's nothing that will keep me from that he began a good work will continue and will complete it in the day of Christ Jesus I have a sure assurance of God's presence with me and therefore no matter where I am he's there with me I will make it through and that's what he was teaching them why do you have no faith I told you we're going to make it through you know what I told you we're going to get there on the other side where is your faith but what is their response verse 25 they're afraid they marvel and look what they say to one another who can this be he commands even the winds and water and they obey him in Israel this happens almost every time we're on the sea of Galilee we will stop and we'll just sit there in the water in that little boat and one of our guides inevitably will say he wants to take a walk because they know the passage that we're about to teach he wants to take a walk none of us of course do we're all tried once we're still searching for him but what they're doing here they're afraid but this time it's not afraid of death this time it's a holy fear who is this man one brief thought if there's anything that the body of Christ has lost it's the fear of God we have domesticated Jesus so that he's almost like just a buddy or a chum or somebody that we hang around with and we have lost the fear of God and the sad thing is that when you have no fear of God then you'll do absolutely anything you feel like doing because the fear of God is to depart from evil but when people do not have the fear of God they'll do basically anything and I can't tell you and I'm not going to go on this too long other than to say this I was talking to somebody just recently about this who might happen to love very much and we were speaking on this issue and I said the thing that concerns me is the church doesn't have a holy reverence for God the body of Christ doesn't have a holy reverence for God a fear of the Lord we have made God domesticated you know C.S. Lewis speaking concerning the lion that represents Jesus Christ he's called Aslan in his writings he says Aslan is not a tame lion but we have tamed Jesus to make him kind of like somebody that we just kind of hang around with but if we feel like doing something that we know is wrong he understands his grace is sufficient he knows I'm weak and I've got flesh and we make excuses I've been praying for myself that God will resurrect and reignite a fear of God in my heart for him because he's holy and he's righteous and when you encounter him you have the same kind of question who is this who can this be who is this man really well the answer he's the lord of the earth and the lord of the sea some eighty nine eight and nine oh lord God of hosts who's mighty like you oh lord your faithfulness also surrounds you you rule the raging of the sea when its waves rise you still them who is this God in human flesh that's who it is the one who commands winds and water but it is easier for him to get the wind and the water to obey him than it is for him to get us to obey him because we have a will that resists him and that's why we need to cling to him and say God break me where it's necessary that I might live a life that pleases you bottom line with Jesus in the midst there's never anything to fear with Jesus there's really nothing to fear Jesus said listen he goes do not fear the one who has the body has the power to kill the body he says and after that can do nothing so if you want to have fear fear the one who's able to kill and then to cast you into hell if you want to fear fear him and make choices who to be afraid of in other words who to reverence rather than being afraid of losing your life because you close your eyes here and you open them in heaven rather than being afraid of losing your physical life here you need to be afraid of the one who has power to make judgment for you to enter into the kingdom or not if you fear the Lord you depart from evil it's the beginning of knowledge and you'll walk in such a way that's pleasing to him a holy reverence an awareness of his great power you know my kids don't fear me as an evil man because I'm not towards them there's anything daddy's been is maybe it's too soft I love them to pieces but they know that you can go just to a certain point and then you've reached the limit you know exactly what I'm saying just yesterday my daughter Anna and I were talking I don't think she'd mind me saying this she said something to me and I know she was playing with me but I said what did you say and she looked at me because they know that's a thin line but you need to be very careful not to cross over it with my father I could play with my dad I was the one kid who could play with my dad and I could make him laugh like nobody else but I knew that I could only approach this far and not go any further because I knew my restrictions was my dad did he love me absolutely was I afraid of him I respected and reverenced him and I wanted to please him if I was that way as a man I want to be more so for my God not to take advantage of his goodness towards me and to trust him to love him but to reverence him because he's God and I'm not

Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the Everton News Daily. Rafa Benitez has praised Fabian Delft's return to fitness and his form in the last two games. He came on as a second half substitute against Wolves in the 2-1 defeat there and was given man of the match in Sunday's nil nil draw with Tottenham Hotspur at Godderson Park. The manager has said that he's been really impressed with Delft, the way he's come back after such a long absence and being straight into the side and worked hard. He also praised new rehabilitation coach Christian Fernandez who joined a couple of weeks ago saying we're already beginning to see the impacts of having him here in terms of getting players back. He spoke about Yeri Mina being close to returning at the Leidicore as well so Christian Fernandez has been given a lot of praise for his role so far. It's exactly what Everton needs, Everton needs players back. Delft has proved that a lot of people will have written him off as an Everton player but he's come in and got himself fit and proved that he can be a useful addition. He's been very good in the last two games so hopefully that continues but the manager clearly impressed with Fernandez's work rate so far at the club. Hopefully that will continue and we can get Abdelhaidicore back, Dominic Halvert-Lewin back before too long as well because they are both important definitely for us as we move forward. Everton target Lewis Diaz will remain at Porto after the January transfer window, that is according to reports today from Portugal. The Blues had tried to sign the Columbian Winger in the August transfer window. It looked at one stage like that deal was definitely going to go through. It didn't happen. Diaz has been in sparkle and form for Porto this season and also scored a couple of goals in the Champions League as well and those reports saying that they will consider selling them but it will be next summer, not January. A lot of earlier reports had stated that Everton would move for the Winger in January but right now it doesn't seem like that is going to be a possibility which is a pity because he does look like someone Everton could really do with. He can beat a man, score goals, works incredibly hard and having him on one side and the Charleston on the other is definitely an exciting prospect but it hasn't happened and whether it does remain to be seen but it's a pity because he is a very very good player and we could do with him right now. Another Winger Everton I'm looking at and I'm considering a move for and this has come out of France again today is Lyle Winger Jonathan Iconi. The 23-year-old Lyle Winger has 18 months left on his current contractor run at Lyle. There's a lot of thought in France that Lyle will try to cash in on him now rather than continue to allow his contractor run down. Again you know Rafa Benita spoke last week and said that he would have some money to spend in January but it wouldn't be loads. Did kind of hint at trying to be creative with deals so maybe try to take some of these players on loan with a view to a permanent deal or you know buy and I'll pay later kind of thing and maybe Iconi would be one of those. Someone who's contract is running down you know you take over this wages and pay a loan fee and then pay the rest of it in the summer again depending on what Everton are able to do next summer. Hopefully well things will be better next summer as well. More players drop off the wades bill of course and Everton have probably looked to move players on some stories circulating today albeit not in many publications that Everton will be listening willing to listen to officer formation Holgate in January. That wouldn't surprise me Holgate was dismissed in injury time during that Neil Mildred over Tottenham after a high challenge on Huyberg he was sent off and he's someone who's fallen out of favour of Everton and 25 years of age might be looking for a new challenge or a new club to really go on put his roots down and get his career up and running properly in Everton. You know might be someone who fetches Everton some money which he can then reinvest so we'll have to wait and see whether that is the case but a couple of wingers catching Everton's eye and I think that's important to think that's what we need. We need more creativity more firepower more goals in the final third and I think the manager and hopefully the recruitment staff have identified that and I've got their eyes on some players so fingers crossed for that. It is a slow news that the international break so it has been quiet. There you go. Give the video a thumbs up subscribe if you haven't we'd be much appreciated otherwise thanks very much for watching. See you later.


Triple negative breast cancer, TNBC, is a challenging form of breast cancer as it lacks estrogen receptor, ER, progesterone receptor, PR, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, HER2, expression, making it difficult to treat with traditional hormonal therapies. Recent research has focused on identifying biomarkers in TNBC, such as tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, TILS, and mismatch repair deficiency, DM, to guide patient selection for immunotherapy. Additionally, microsatellite instability, MSI, is also associated with DMMR and can be used as a predictive marker for immunotherapeutic responses. These biomarkers have the potential to identify patients who may benefit from immunotherapy, allowing for more targeted treatment and improved outcomes.

Yeah It's about the script and our thoughts And on one hand we have the egos script, so it's already written and Then we have our thoughts that are created and then we have what is sometimes called The Holy Spirit script So I so I wonder what is the difference between if I'm in a situation and and How do I know it's the script and and how and If my thoughts are creating, how do I know it's not my thoughts that have created the situation Okay, so first of all the thoughts that we think with God are created because God is creative and God bestowed creative ability to Christ and And of course says Christ has creations with a small see so our creative thoughts are Purely spiritual. They have no form component whatsoever So anything that involves perception does not involve creation So that's one thing to remember just like last night with the movie when they go into the light The light is completely different than the perceptual world. The light has to just kind of almost Absorb some memories of some characters in the main characters dream to even communicate with him because the light is just Delight just pure love and wisdom and understanding So then you talked about the script of the world and that's the ego script the ego has invented the linear cosmos the linear world and It's all the past and as we said last night as long as the mind is Invested in the past and wants to hold on to the past It seems to repeat kind of like the movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray it's a movie where he keeps going through the same day over and over and You might say that that's exactly what Jesus told Helen Shuckman that He said history would not even exist if you didn't keep Repeating the same mistake in the present So he's he's talking about this generated history and this generated linear cosmos It's all about repeating the error this could repeating the loop It's just looping and looping and looping seemingly in different forms And you could even seem to believe that the future has not yet happened and that the past has but it's still the loop That's what's going on And then you hear The phrase you've mentioned the phrase the Holy Spirit script and other teachers of the course will bring this up But you will never hear me talk about the Holy Spirit script because there isn't one the Holy Spirit knows that time is simultaneous and The Holy Spirit knows that time is not linear and a script whether you were talking about a script for a movie or a screenplay or any kind of script it's it's a linear construct and Jesus does mention the script in in the workbook of the course. He says the script is written And the emphasis is on the last word written In meaning the script is past tense. It's all Written it's already It's all the past and that's what all the workbook lessons are aimed at is helping you Like lesson number seven. I see only the past That's a number eight from the workbook. My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts My thoughts are images. I have made evil He's building a case to show you the mind that's sleeping and dreaming that it's watching a past script and It's totally lost Awareness of the present moment. It's lost awareness of God. It's addicted to the past And it's it's addicted to the script. It believes that the script is actually still happening Not that it's over and done. It's just it believes it's just in the middle of it And so that's very different. Now the Holy Spirit sees the world and time is simultaneous And there is no script in Simultaneity simultaneous means at the same time and I've done a talk on the internet where I talk about this I think I was in Sweden where were we Farmland where we had I asked him to get a spaghetti stick out for me and I held the spaghetti stick out And I was even tapping on the camera and having fun with the spaghetti stick But I said this spaghetti stick is like the ego's script.  Well, it's just The Holy Spirit is is helping the mind release all those thoughts and beliefs those egoic thoughts To come back and see the world in a simultaneous way So it's not so much a script, but you might say it is another way of looking at the world And that's what all this mind training is about Yeah, so so what so what we can do is to to choose how to experience what's coming to us And in that way it could be different in that aspect it could be different versions Versions of what I mean if I am reacting reacting if I am handling whatever like this or like that I mean I can I'm always choosing how experience, but it could be knowingly or unknowingly Yeah, we would say knowingly would be with the spirit and unknowingly would be with the ego And really that's that's just the choice that remains is in the mind Which which guide will I follow which way will I look at the world? But in that way the situations could come out differently No, they can't they could be perceived Different yeah, okay, but they can't there is no change in an outcome It's kind of like quantum physics, you know when people Have studied science and physics and Newtonian physics once they get into quantum. It's almost like Oh, I've just got to relearn absolutely everything or when people get into Christianity And they'd say oh, this is what Christianity teaches now they get into the course Okay, there's a lot of unlearning I have to unlearn Most all of Christianity in order to get into the Christ It's kind of fascinating to think that you have to unlearn Christianity Get into the Christ. Are we recording this? I think this is probably even more popular now But basically it's the same with science, you know, we have to unlearn Newtonian Science in order to make way for quantum Which is that there there is no world apart from what you think there is no world apart from consciousness No two people as I said in this little show last night. No two people see the same world First of all, there are no two people That's one problem with two people seeing different worlds But actually you start to see that in the quantum world You just perceive the world based on what you have in your consciousness of what you believe And there really aren't different perspectives Of the dream. They're all false and they're all just one false perspective Which is what the ego is. It seems like there's multiple egos And that each ego has invented a different world And that's even a trick because there's only just one It's always simpler Than the mind can imagine. It comes down to just seeing the false is false So it's beautiful that that once you start to realize that there are no hypotheticals That things could not be different than they appear Then that changes everything right there But there's not options Even though in common human language, we'll talk about options Even though that's not really possible Share something This because I woke up this morning And I had an experience of what time is for me It's something I make up I do it with that separation thought And it acts out and I can take you as an example of that for me Because when I met you David, I saw I felt something It was the truth And at the same time the separation thought was lit up in me so very strong And then you have been a symbol for me that you have come like a Like a planet or an orbit you're coming And then you are coming again And I I made this I met this separation Every time in different ways and it has been a process Ever since this came into my mind It has been here I've been here My family light And I live with you in Yucca I live with you in Hawaii In Australia I'm there as much as I can As much as I can stand it And then you come again And you have been talking about winding down You have been frightening me Since 2009 you said I'm winding down on my traveling I'm winding down And then you have come again Oh yes, one more time It just looks that way really And now this is a farewell tour And you're talking about ascension and And this time I I feel something the gap is closing in me I'm so grateful And it's like it's time speed up Of course now I thought this was the last time in the summer and then Suddenly very short time after coming again And now with six people So thank you I'm so grateful that I'm not alone and I'm joining I'm joining Thank you, Rich I just always remember just think of me And these videos will be available And this character is long gone from From it And I won't miss any of you either because I'm taking all of you with me Let's once you see how this works in perception You are all with me and And it's all one mind really literally So oftentimes people think well Eventually I'll die and go somewhere else Let me in on I'll let you in on a little bit of Wisdom there is nowhere else This is all This is it You know you're getting used to the perception You know you've you've been perceiving a world seemingly through the body But it's not really As I said it's not coming through the body You're perceiving the world with consciousness You're using consciousness to perceive this world And there will come a point where you'll Be ready to let go of the judgments And you'll be ready to let go of the The grievances and those things and And you'll just have this big aha momma It's just it just will dawn on you like Oh my gosh so simple So simple It's so so very very very simple


What's good YouTube this is what you are back child again with another art video man if you're new to this channel go ahead hit that like button comment subscribe makes you click post notification so you will be notified anytime you budget on heat in today's video same old same old I will be showing you guys how I draw a cartoon head so without further ado let's go right to this video okay first thing you want to do after you find your picture you just want to drag and drop it inside the program you want to center it you want to draw the opacity down it's good enough for your line work is staying out on the top you want to lock that layer create a new layer right above it and now the most important thing or the entire video is sitting your brush on your digital art tablet I'm using a UG art tablet I put it on the stream so you can see it but first thing you want to do you want to come up to the top when you hit this drop down menu then you want to click new brush do you want to hit okay then you want to go to pressure and change the two bottom numbers to three you want to hit okay after you do that it should give you this brush you see me use in all my videos you know I'm saying it's just a pressure brush like if I press light it'll give me a a light line but if I press harder to give me a thick line so what we finna do is make our brush like a 0.75 zoom in on our picture as close as you can so you can get all the detail you know what I want to make my brush a little smaller than that so let's go up to like 0.5 we just gonna do all the line work speaking of we'll go even smaller we go to a 0.25 so we can get some sharp lines the goal is to make your line work as clean as possible if you want to make some real good cartoon heads you just got to make some clean real clean sharp line work now what we finna do we finna fill in all the hair on this picture with our pencil tool so what you want to do you want to go to your pencil tool you want to make sure the settings on your pencil tool look exactly like mine do you want to hit okay then you want to move this color black right here to the top hitting this arrow and you want to make sure the bottom color is locked now what we're gonna do we're gonna use the pencil tool as a fill in tool so what you do is you just draw the area see I'm drawing out the area I wanted to fill in then I'm gonna go back first I'm just outlining and then I'm gonna come back and close it off fill it in for me so we're gonna do that around the entire picture with our pencil tool this about you a whole lot of time from just trying to color it manually this will save you a lot of time try to give it like a texture you know I'm saying instead of just trying to draw it like sharp like this trying to fill it in like that to make it look all sharp now you got to give it a texture as you draw it you know I'm saying so it helped the effect of making the hair look real now that we finished with the pencil tool for now let's go back to our brush tool and let's make it 0.5 what we're gonna do is we're gonna go back and we're gonna add some of the details inside the hairs let's make our brush as small as we can get it so we can add some of the finer details now what we finna do we're gonna go around that edges like the outline of this hair we're gonna give it some more detail and also let's go ahead and hit save this case something happen we had this thing say you know I'm saying let's finish adding the details just give it more texture now that we finish with the line work we're gonna do we're gonna highlight everything but object expand appearance then you want to click merge on your power finder so we can make all the lines become one you know I'm saying now it's just one bit line so we're gonna go over here to our layers drag it to this blank sheet of paper to make a copy of the line work lock the top copy select the second one let's find us a nice little base tone to start with for the skin tone for now we're gonna go to our rectangle tool we're gonna drag the color over the entire picture then what you want to do is you want to right click the color and go to arrange then you want to send to back you'll know if you did this step right if you look over here at your layers you see a line where it's sitting on top of the color right after you do that you want to highlight everything and then you want to click merge on your power finder so you can make the color become one with your line work so after that merge together you want to right click the color go to isolate select group and now every area that's closed off we can change the color or we can delete it so let's select this out of color right here and hit delete also to hit the drop down menu on the color layer we just made hit it again you want to stroll down you see your last black line work you want to lock all the black line work keep the top to unlock and then you want to close it back now you want to come over here to your white selection tool and we we're gonna delete all the colors that's trapped inside this here and the reason we locked out a black line work so we won't delete the line work while we're doing this process we're back to our black selection tool isolate select group hold shift we can color more than one thing at a time full shift so I can select more let's change this lip color now since we got the base color down what we're gonna do we're gonna make a copy of our color layer we just created so drag it to this blank sheet of paper turn the eye off on the bottom color layer and go to the one that's in the middle and what we're gonna do we're gonna delete the skin tone out of the middle layer but we're gonna keep the eye color and the lip color on that layer so let's do it let's delete only the skin tone now that we deleted the skin tone out of that layer let's go back to our layers turn the eye back on on the bottom one create us a new layer that's in between the base color layer and the layer where we deleted the skin tone so it's gonna be the layer go to your pencil tool make sure your color is at the top and the bottom one is locked and this gonna be the layer where we add our shadows she is just gonna fall right behind the lip color in our color so it's gonna make our job easier so what I like to do when I'm doing my shadows I like to start with a dark tone so what I do is I sample the skin tone then I try to find me a nice dark tone I try to create me a dark tone from starting with the base tone okay that'll do for now okay go to your pencil tool and what you do is you just focus to what you do is you just focus on the original photo like I'm looking at the original photo and I'm placing all the dark dark tones where I see them at I'm placing all the dark tones while I see them on the original picture and the more you focus on the original picture and you try to copy exactly what you see the better your your shadows and your shading and turnout that's all I do I just focus on the original picture and I place all the tones in the exact spot I see that picture it just takes some practice so the more you do it the better you'll get at it for a little lighter with the tone like what I do is I start with my dark shadows and every time I'm finished with that color that color I created I go lighter I create a new layer every time I go lighter with the tones and I just keep stacking it I put my dark shadows on top and I took my lighter shadows so I created me a new layer and I put it right underneath this dark tone we just made and I just keep going with that same method throughout the whole picture so let's sample the skin tone find us a nice in between color we finna do we finna go back to our middle tone and what I like to do is I like to hit object expand click merge on my paraphernalia so I can make all the colors on that one layer just one merge so I can make it all become one line and we finna tweak it a little bit so let's go to edit edit colors adjust color balance hit preview and let's try to make it fade into the next colors a little better so sometimes you gonna have to go in and you gonna have to adjust your colors so that's what I like to use when it's time to go go to a certain shadow layer and try to adjust the color to help blend a little better what I like to use is just what I showed you I come up here and I go to edit edit colors and adjust color layer I mean adjust color balance and that's all you need to know so I'm finna go ahead and finish shading this whole picture out real fast I'm finna create a layer at the very top and we're gonna add some detail inside his eyes last but not least we're gonna create one more layer at the very top we're gonna bring out our swatches go to your gradient on your swatch layer after you pick a gradient color you want to select the edges you want to make it black but you want to make it fade into a color now that we got our brush you want to go to your pencil tool make sure the color is at the bottom this time in the top one is locked and there you have it you guys how to make a cartoon head if you're trying to purchase one for yourself hit me up on Instagram at Chihuahua1234 and I will see you my price list thank you guys for watching make sure you stay tuned more he coming soon and I'm out there


Hi, beautiful. You look ravishing today. Thank you for being here. You looking sexy. And if you're underage, forget I said that. Today, we're watching some people give themselves DIY, do it yourself, quarantine, haircuts. Because the salons, well, most of them aren't open.

Things have gone terribly wrong with a lot of these haircuts. We're gonna watch so many different kinds of people get a quarantine haircut. And I'll be the judge because I don't think any of them are gonna be very good. I'll give them all a one out of 10 rating just for kicks and giggles. And we'll see who ranks supreme, who wins this battle of best quarantine haircuts 2020. Hopefully the last quarantine battle ever, but let the battles begin. Let's do it. Up first, we have She's My Pearson. And this is called at home quarantine haircut, long hair to short hair, lesbian hair transformation. I love a good lesbian hair transformation. They didn't really say what kind of haircut they're doing, but she is sectioning out this part of the hair and looks like she's going for something like my haircut, which is gonna be wild because her hair is really long. This is gonna be a huge transformation. I want you to do this. Okay, just so it's all the way back. Okay, are you excited? Yeah. Are you excited? A little bit. Yeah. Let me get the hair cut. They look so freaking nervous. She's freaking out. She's like, good eyes, you look pretty. Shh. Like, are you okay? I'm okay, I was freaking out a little bit. All right, see what I'm doing.  Oh my God. You're right. You need to use a comb and go across. No, that's not how you do it, the guard. That's if you have it on the guard and the trimmer. Okay. She knows what she's talking about. I don't know what I'm doing. That's true. I don't know what your head is.  You're doing this first and on the back. You want me to do the back first? You do whatever you feel like. You have a plan. Oh my God. You're on my ear. Mom, I have to go by your ear. You literally vibrate by on my ear. I'm going with this right here, sweetheart. It's vibrate. Oh, we're going for it. We're making our way around the head. I'm so excited for this. I feel like this is going to be, you know, obviously a whole different look for her and really fun. And she needed that hair gone. That dye she had on those ends where it was, it looked like it needed help. I like her natural hair color a lot more and it just looks much healthier now and it looks so good already. The sectioning is a little wonky. I will say that. Okay.  Oh, you're doing amazing. You literally had zero experience doing this and it looks great. I'm happy with it. Yeah. For how long? How long do you want this? Let's see. Oh, thank God we're cutting it. I was like, I was really concerned for a second. We weren't going to do anything with that. Okay. Yeah. I'm kidding. It feels like I'm ghosting. Is that everything? I would love to just chop off those dead ends. You want that? What? I'm going to do more. Okay.  She's gotten so much more confidence at the beginning of this video.  I am a hairstylist now and I know exactly what you want. This is my hair salon. Why are you cutting it all to the side? We're going for it. Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh. Yeah. We're done. She looks so pretty with the shorter hair. It makes her face just look so much more angular and beautiful. I love it. Oh, you did it. I did it. What do you think? I'm obsessed. Show it off. I'm obsessed. Put it to the side like that. For bringing the hair from that long, long hair to this short, short cut, she really did a great job with having absolutely no experience. I can't say she did a bad job. She looks so beautiful. I would have brought the top a little shorter and the sides a little shorter, but I will 100% take it. This is definitely a 10 out. And in my book, you nailed it. And as long as your client is happy, that's what really matters. And your client loves her hair. So great job. All right, we have this video by Soma Shia.  How to DIY quarantine haircut. Oh, it's a how-to, huh? Obviously hair dressing is closed.  We have enlisted the mother for help with this haircut. Let's see if the mom has any skills. It's actually gonna be longer in the front if you cut in the back. But yeah, it won't make it even. If you have them separate, separate, like. We even in our after, but just to cut the bulk of it. See, like if you separate them, then how am I gonna balance this one with the other side? I think I should just do it together. Mommy, if I cut it in the same place on both sides, it's gonna be even. No, it doesn't look like that. Then how come in the video, that's what they did? They're probably professionals. No, they're not. I watched how to cut your hair at home into a bomb. Listen, yeah, don't cut it all at once in the back. That's just not a good idea. Definitely cut it in four sections, at least, or six. I'm on Soma's side. All right, I'm sorry, mom. Mommy, don't cut it yet. I'm not. Can I get your bangs too? No, no bangs. Yes! I'm gonna get your hair back in. Okay, so what I think I need to do is, I'm gonna cut it right up to like here right now. No, go a little bit more, because yeah. Okay, you need to put the elastic down farther.  It's just not gonna work as good. And put the elastic where you're gonna cut. Cut over the elastic.  How are you gonna balance this side with that? A little bit lower? You eyeball it. You put the elastic the same length on both sides. That way it's even. One, two, three, go. Her head is also churned right now and they're cutting it. Oh, yours is weird. Yours is so differently angled than mine. It sounds weird.  Did it hair? Oh man, this girl's funny. Okay, okay. Fun! So I want it shorted then it's for sure though. Because this is like the awkward like. Yeah. Cause you messed it up on her. I feel like she needs to cut it really short like at her chin. I feel like that'll be good. It's like, you're supposed to not do it in the front, you're supposed to do it in the back. Cause now it's like. You can fix it up, it's long enough to fix it up. No, now it's gonna have to go even short. Yeah, I want it short for me. I want it all in length and I want it all in length. Mom, listen, listen to your daughter. Mom's so proud of herself. I love it. Look at her. Mom's like, we're not doing that. That's not happening. Oh, that's short. Oh my God. Wait, mom kind of slayed. What the? I could go shorter. This is so much better than your hair before. Oh my God. It complements your face shape so much better. I love it. I honestly would prefer it shorter. Yeah. Like right now, I think that's actually perfect because when you've washed them and they're gonna dry up. See, this is my issue with it. It's just like, I really just want it like sitting, like not now I'm gonna do that feathering. Oh, mom's a hairdresser now. Watch out. She's doing the feathering. Bad and then you go a bit shorter and it looks good. Just like whatever. Yeah, go for it. Go for it. Dare me. Dare me. Dare. No. I love your mom. And then if you're fine, and then you come home and you see a long strand. Oh, okay. The shade of the mom.  And then you get home and there's a long strand. All right, I was like, yeah, it looks great. Yeah, that's the guy I was talking about. Yeah, but then, see, this one just curled in, I think. No, it's not. This one comes here and this one comes here. That's not the same part. I'm gonna clean up, I'm gonna style it and then I'm gonna show you guys what it looks like. Okay. Who is this? Who are you? You look hot. And I put on pink because pink makes me feel beautiful. I'm really feeling it and me too. I'm sure it's gonna be much less maintenance, honestly. This looks so good. So much better than what you had before. I would've loved to see you style it with that really curled end, like curl it inwards. Do that very like old school type of vibe. Oh, it would look so incredible on you. I love this hair length. I think you should never have long hair again, to be honest with you. This looks great. 10 out of 10. Mom, you did a fabulous job. It started off rough, but it ended up not being that bad. I'm, listen, it's not professional quality, but I'll take it and it will savor it. Let's move on. All right, next up, we have Knorp and South. This is Quarantine Haircuts 2.0. Mom's turn. Oh God, what are we doing to Mom? I mean, can you guys see? Okay. It looks like I wanna go for a rat tail, which is an option. I thought about it. It's like, just go ahead and shave it off. I also thought about just like, not cutting it and seeing how crazy it would get. We have this like 10 year old kid sectioning her hair out. You gotta start them young, you know? I started very young doing hair. That's what you gotta do. It's just, this is how it is. This sectioning is iffy, but it's okay. Starting to look like I think Mrs. Brady in the Brady Bunch, you know, how she had that like long hair in the back. You. Yes! Mrs. Brady was so iconic for that haircut. So how short are you gonna go? The longest, just like Peter's. What are we doing? Please, for now. Don't even touch them. Even if it looks weird, just don't touch from like here down. And then I maybe can do that on my own with scissors. Okay. We're leaving the sideburns. And. Oh! Oh! Huh! Oh, they're going short. The shortest is pretty short, sweetheart. He's like, what do I do with my hands? The longest. Sorry, it's late. You just go all the way around.  Okay. He's doing a decent job at best so far. However, I will say the sectioning that that 10 year old child did was fresh to death. And it looks incredible actually. Beautiful line work right there.  You just had to put the section that was long up and she used quite a few clips. Listen, you can never be too short. Oh, it's botched. Yeah. It is a little bit. I'm not giggling. You guys need to not giggle. It looks bad, huh, Ash? You'll just have to clean this up a little bit. It's not that bad, but it's not that great. It's botched, but not that botched. As long as we don't botch any more than what it is, it'll be fine. Okay. Now the mom is going in and cutting the most weird long sides. So there's a moment when I'm cutting. What is going on? I don't know what I'm doing because my big face, yeah. The mom's face, she's so determined. I like the little sideburn look. Okay. I feel it. Mom, I'm going to choose, right? Hold down the, whatever you call it. Mom, I'm not sure. Ash is really interested here. I'm scared. It's fine. I think it's pretty good. Yeah. Oh! Yeah, I think it looks fine. Should we call this 6-6? Let's see. Let's do like the full, like, review. Yes! Oh yeah. All right. Thank you. Hand cut. Accomplished. Yes! I have the exact same hairstyle. Wow, you guys have beautiful hair. Your son, his hair, wore it. Let's break it down. The son did a fabulous job. Wasn't the easiest thing to do, for sure. And he killed it. And I am happy. I give this a solid A out of 10. I could have been just a little bit better. I am satisfied. Great work. Yes. The next video is by Team Rowe. And this is Quarantine Haircut. My husband follows Brad Mondo's tutorial. I'm tired of waiting. My hair's so damaged. It's tangly, so easy. It's not doing anything. I'm so ready. I'm not going to miss it at all. I'm from this tutorial from a hairdresser who's also like a famous YouTuber. His name is Brad Mondo. And he made a tutorial specifically for this situation. So people like me, here down, it's extremely thin. It just looks fluffy because it dries where you be and then I brushed it. Cutting this hair off is going to give her a whole different vibe. It's going to make her hair look so much more full and beautiful. And she just doesn't need those strangly gross ends that are just going on right now. I mean, it's just going to be so much better for her. I want it to be at my collar bones. That's not what you're supposed to do. It's a little consultation. Tell your hairdresser what you want. You need to do a little bit below that because I will never wear my hair this straight. Just in case Brad watches this, I want him to be semi-proud of me. It's going to be a quality. I'm proud of you for even caring enough about what I think about your work that you're about to do. That's kind of handy. Hold on. Wait a minute. Yo, he's doing a great job at this parting. I'm going to do a parting. I'm parting. I'm going to come in five of the A-packs. Yeah. Perfect as the as many quins. This is my favorite video. He just talked with the A-packs. He talked about Miss Manny Quinn. You got a lot for my video. I am so happy. He acted like he knew how to part hair. I feel a lot more confident. You don't know how to do it. Call me up there. You don't know how to do it. The top of your head is flat. I'm pretty sure he said it should be behind the hair. They don't say that. Right behind your hair. Right behind your hair. Somehow, see this? She has a flat head. It's just a whole thing with a flat head. I always told you my head is a block. Has a flat head. That's because this is the right way to do it. That was such a good parting. The way he laid the comb down like that and parted was so beautiful. That's not easy for a lot of people to part like that. All right, bring it out to the big guns. I like it. A leveler. We don't need that. Okay, there's no going back. I don't know why I'm nervous because what they're literally like. I hope I don't fail you guys. I hope it comes out good. How is he holding it? This matters. He's holding it really well. That was, I don't know. No going back now. This is barely any hair. He's doing such a good job. Good morning, can you put it back? Yes. You can like solder it back onto my hair. And that's the finished product. The precision is just immaculate. How cool. It's beautiful. I'm satisfied. I could just sit back and watch this. I could honestly just, I will, I will, I will shut up and I will just watch. Can you tell me that I'm pretty? I feel so confident that he is doing the best job ever and that this is going to look spectacular. Am I cute? I actually like the way my hair looks straight, better now that it's short. This is me. Oh my God, we needed those dead ends to be gone. Okay, now for the layering portion. This might get a little bit scary. Dude, I would trust this guy to cut my hair any day. He's putting all the effort in. This looks amazing. I think Brad does more like with the front. I think like face framing or something like that. I know I've heard him say that in some videos, but anyways. I love what he knows my video. I'm not sure if you know. Oh, look at that. Hello. Anything more, I think I'd like to leave to a professional. I think this will help the bright curl in. Did you know you were so talented? I didn't know you were so talented. Yes. Oh my God. I'm really happy with this. Me too. It's so good for summer and it feels so light. Definitely not going to totally perfect. I never wear my hair this straight. Straight hair is not as forgiving. So I think once I go in and curl it, you won't even be able to tell. We'll see how it looks after we do it. Oh. This is what it looks like. Oh my God, it looks. I need to practice styling. Amazing. I've never had my hair like this and I really don't. That looks a thousand times better. Your hair color looks better. Your hair thickness looks better. It's all around just a way better look for you. It's super bouncy and it feels so good and I love it. I think Dave did a really good job. He really did. Okay, so now that we're all styled, this time to show the kids. I have no idea. I was getting my hair cut today. Dude, you killed it. You f***ing girls or you took those scissors and you made them your f***ing. You did it. It was spectacular. I couldn't have asked for more, honestly. You made me so proud. 10 out of 10. Oh my God. I'm just giving up those 10 out of 10s everywhere today. Well, I am shocked at how great everybody did in these videos today. I mean, there wasn't anything too bad and people apparently can really slay hair cutting. With a little bit more knowledge, these people would have done an incredible job. But for an at home quarantine haircut, these were spectacular. I couldn't have asked for more. My favorite one was of course by the channel team row because they followed my tutorial and just did a great job and I'm just so happy. When I see people follow my stuff and it actually comes out amazing, I get so happy.  Well, you guys, that is all for it today. If you end up cutting your hair during quarantine, send a video to me.
