this route hopefully

00:07:01--> 00:07:02

I didn't have

00:07:07--> 00:07:08

enough know ourselves

00:07:10--> 00:07:11

even more

00:07:13--> 00:07:13

men than

00:07:15--> 00:07:15

women.

00:07:17--> 00:07:19

And there are secrets to form.

00:07:29--> 00:07:29

What's

00:07:35--> 00:07:36

up

00:07:49--> 00:07:49

what you think

00:07:52--> 00:07:53

about

00:07:56--> 00:07:57

the movie

00:08:11--> 00:08:13

for the woman who

00:08:18--> 00:08:19

will occur in Las

00:08:22--> 00:08:23

Vegas, Nevada.

00:08:44--> 00:08:48

We're approaching the end of the year. Many people arrive

00:08:50--> 00:08:51

they come up with what they call

00:08:53--> 00:08:53

What do they call

00:08:55--> 00:08:56

resolutions,

00:08:57--> 00:09:00

changes and revise that was taking place.

00:09:02--> 00:09:03

Many people

00:09:05--> 00:09:07

try to adopt

00:09:09--> 00:09:14

new ways of doing things and dealing with matters in their lives.

00:09:16--> 00:09:17

Some people

00:09:18--> 00:09:19

consider

00:09:21--> 00:09:22

improving

00:09:23--> 00:09:24

their relationships.

00:09:25--> 00:09:26

Others consider

00:09:28--> 00:09:29

improving their health

00:09:30--> 00:09:31

and watching their diet

00:09:32--> 00:09:33

and losing weight.

00:09:35--> 00:09:38

Others decided promise

00:09:39--> 00:09:44

to have better management of their minds and their time and their finance.

00:09:45--> 00:09:48

These are just some of the examples. So

00:09:49--> 00:09:49

I don't think

00:09:51--> 00:09:55

some might be reviewing their policies, their foreign policies

00:09:56--> 00:09:58

to deal with their family

00:09:59--> 00:09:59

at all

00:10:01--> 00:10:06

From the role of the individual all the way to the President, everybody is reviewing their policies

00:10:08--> 00:10:09

and their programs.

00:10:11--> 00:10:12

However,

00:10:15--> 00:10:16

there is one disease.

00:10:18--> 00:10:20

To talk about today before I talk

00:10:21--> 00:10:22

about changes

00:10:24--> 00:10:25

and improving

00:10:26--> 00:10:30

our lives and improving our behavior. There's one disease,

00:10:35--> 00:10:35

a disease

00:10:37--> 00:10:40

that you only find among human beings,

00:10:42--> 00:10:43

a disease

00:10:44--> 00:10:47

that almost every single one of us

00:10:49--> 00:10:54

falls into, or is guilty of, or at least is susceptible to

00:10:57--> 00:11:00

a disease that comes in the form

00:11:01--> 00:11:03

of a defense mechanism

00:11:06--> 00:11:07

is a disease

00:11:09--> 00:11:14

that stands between you and change. positive change

00:11:17--> 00:11:20

is a disease that stands before you

00:11:21--> 00:11:24

and blocks you or stops you

00:11:25--> 00:11:29

from adopting positive change and improving your life.

00:11:31--> 00:11:35

There a change then of improvement,

00:11:37--> 00:11:39

then we have progress.

00:11:41--> 00:11:43

In almost every single one of us falls

00:11:45--> 00:11:47

or falls victim to it.

00:11:49--> 00:11:50

Across a heavy

00:11:55--> 00:11:56

recommends

00:11:59--> 00:12:04

a prayer simplification called the master of

00:12:05--> 00:12:13

seeking forgiveness, the master of which you seek forgiveness, and forgiveness

00:12:16--> 00:12:20

is a prayer and its application thought was wrong. So

00:12:21--> 00:12:25

it is recommended that you decide every day that every night

00:12:27--> 00:12:30

at least once during the day during the morning. It wasn't that

00:12:36--> 00:12:39

many of us memorize. Aloma Don't be

00:12:40--> 00:12:40

that.

00:12:42--> 00:12:43

My Lord.

00:12:45--> 00:12:52

You have there's no deity worthy to be worshipped. But you and you created me while you're sleep.

00:12:53--> 00:12:53

While

00:12:58--> 00:12:58

still,

00:13:01--> 00:13:02

I'm still committed

00:13:04--> 00:13:05

to companies.

00:13:06--> 00:13:10

And I promise to the best of my ability.

00:13:17--> 00:13:21

I admit it, I recognize and acknowledge your failure is upon me.

00:13:23--> 00:13:24

Your frame is upon me.

00:13:28--> 00:13:32

At the same time, I confess my sins.

00:13:33--> 00:13:34

And I acknowledge

00:13:38--> 00:13:41

I'm not deserving of those fingers.

00:13:43--> 00:13:44

But you are deserving

00:13:46--> 00:13:48

of generosity and kindness.

00:13:49--> 00:13:50

That's what you're saying.

00:13:52--> 00:13:58

When you confess the loss and handle that well without the facilities, so forgive me for in the lab

00:13:59--> 00:14:03

for no one other than you forgives sins.

00:14:05--> 00:14:05

Every day

00:14:09--> 00:14:10

I came across this

00:14:13--> 00:14:17

as I was preparing my thoughts, and my colleagues

00:14:19--> 00:14:35

for my football to talk about how do we approach the end of the year and how we improve and change. And then I said you know what? This heading addresses that disease. So let me talk about it before I talk about anything else.

00:14:38--> 00:14:41

The disease that this study

00:14:43--> 00:14:44

addresses and talks about

00:14:48--> 00:14:52

in addition to the diseases and other things

00:14:55--> 00:14:56

is a disease of denial

00:14:59--> 00:14:59

denial

00:15:01--> 00:15:02

denial,

00:15:03--> 00:15:06

which is a psychological process in which human beings

00:15:08--> 00:15:14

try, they attempt by altering and distorting reality.

00:15:16--> 00:15:17

They attempt

00:15:18--> 00:15:20

to protect themselves

00:15:22--> 00:15:24

and defend themselves from any threats or

00:15:26--> 00:15:28

threats that come

00:15:30--> 00:15:31

and make them

00:15:32--> 00:15:34

lose control, advise,

00:15:35--> 00:15:43

or throw them out of balance, or 13, one of their basic human needs, anytime they are confronted with one of those

00:15:45--> 00:15:47

threatening events

00:15:48--> 00:15:50

or behaviors,

00:15:51--> 00:15:54

they immediately resort to denial.

00:15:56--> 00:15:58

This, setting the ground

00:15:59--> 00:16:08

and allow themselves to fall victims for many kinds of problems, including addiction.

00:16:09--> 00:16:12

They become addicted to become obsessed.

00:16:14--> 00:16:21

And they suffer miserable failures in their lives because of this problem, denial.

00:16:22--> 00:16:24

You see, denial is the first

00:16:27--> 00:16:30

of those event, defense mechanisms

00:16:33--> 00:16:34

that human beings resorption.

00:16:36--> 00:16:40

And you can only find this amongst human beings.

00:16:43--> 00:16:45

Animals don't have to do

00:16:48--> 00:16:48

maybe

00:16:52--> 00:16:54

when you're burying your head in the sand,

00:16:56--> 00:17:02

pretending or trying to convince yourself that your problems don't exist.

00:17:04--> 00:17:05

Or

00:17:06--> 00:17:16

when you blame your problems on other people, and other external factors, it has nothing to do with you, your shortcomings or

00:17:17--> 00:17:18

your deficiencies. No.

00:17:20--> 00:17:25

It is rather someone else or some other factors, circumstances.

00:17:28--> 00:17:30

And people suffer of this

00:17:31--> 00:17:31

at all.

00:17:34--> 00:17:41

But in many cases, brothers and sisters, because they rely on not only do they suffer for those who are suffering.

00:17:42--> 00:17:44

And sometimes nations

00:17:45--> 00:17:51

suffer because of the denial that one person lives.

00:17:54--> 00:17:56

So in this heading,

00:17:57--> 00:17:59

the promise of the law is that teaches us

00:18:02--> 00:18:11

dry English. The first thing that you do is you confess, you admit your knowledge and you get rid of your denial.

00:18:13--> 00:18:17

You don't deny you recognize reality for what it is.

00:18:21--> 00:18:22

You see people suffering

00:18:25--> 00:18:29

when they for example, deny problems

00:18:30--> 00:18:34

or blame their problems in their relationship to others.

00:18:35--> 00:18:37

Or financially speaking,

00:18:38--> 00:18:39

there's nothing wrong.

00:18:41--> 00:18:41

It's not

00:18:42--> 00:18:43

someone else's

00:18:47--> 00:18:47

system.

00:18:50--> 00:19:02

health wise, many people suffer for years before they are willing. Before they have the courage to confront themselves and say you know what, I need to put an end to it.

00:19:03--> 00:19:03

Why

00:19:05--> 00:19:07

would I have the solution

00:19:08--> 00:19:09

within my reach?

00:19:14--> 00:19:16

People do the same thing to us.

00:19:18--> 00:19:22

Your children might be suffering, suffocating spiritual

00:19:25--> 00:19:25

crisis.

00:19:30--> 00:19:31

This is how it is.

00:19:37--> 00:19:39

their spouses might be suffering.

00:19:42--> 00:19:48

And they might be falling in a state of despair. They don't even talk about it anymore because they talk about it

00:19:50--> 00:19:56

will just be a problem. So you know what? Say you don't even talk about it.

00:20:00--> 00:20:05

They continue to suffer for years. And then at the end, under pressure, they slow

00:20:06--> 00:20:08

it all at the same time.

00:20:09--> 00:20:15

Everything comes crumbling for you at the same time. Why? Because you've been in denial for years.

00:20:17--> 00:20:18

Imagine wise

00:20:22--> 00:20:22

people

00:20:24--> 00:20:27

who might be responsible for in charge of other people

00:20:29--> 00:20:35

live in denial, causing suffering and pain to those who are under the leadership.

00:20:37--> 00:20:38

So just have the

00:20:39--> 00:20:41

teacher do that the first thing that you need to do

00:20:42--> 00:20:44

is confess, get rid of

00:20:45--> 00:20:55

recognize, have the courage. You see brothers and sisters, someone might ask, what are the causes? Many, as I said, it's a natural defense mechanism.

00:20:58--> 00:21:01

But it has cognitive components.

00:21:04--> 00:21:09

It has behavioral components to it.

00:21:11--> 00:21:13

It's a character flaw for someone to continue

00:21:15--> 00:21:16

living in denial.

00:21:19--> 00:21:24

Despite the suffering that he feels, or the suffering of others.

00:21:26--> 00:21:27

It is a character flaw.

00:21:28--> 00:21:34

It might be because of arrogance is some people sometimes think that. How can I?

00:21:35--> 00:21:36

How can I be so bad?

00:21:37--> 00:21:39

It's not me, it's some other people.

00:21:42--> 00:21:45

There's nothing wrong with me. And arrogance

00:21:46--> 00:21:49

is a disease in itself. That requires

00:21:52--> 00:21:54

a speech of its own.

00:21:55--> 00:21:57

The interests that are aware,

00:22:01--> 00:22:04

there are very easy on the side that they don't know.

00:22:07--> 00:22:09

Good to be brothers and sisters,

00:22:10--> 00:22:11

lack of

00:22:13--> 00:22:15

lack of courage.

00:22:16--> 00:22:18

People don't have the courage to confront

00:22:20--> 00:22:27

their problems, their challenges, their deficiencies and their shortcomings. So as a lot of you have

00:22:28--> 00:22:32

the power and the strength and the courage to confront the shortcomings

00:22:33--> 00:22:37

and our problems and our deficiencies and help us overcome them

00:22:38--> 00:22:39

as the loss of

00:22:40--> 00:22:43

powers to inspire us and make us a little

00:23:20--> 00:23:22

that alone some kind of guy that calls upon.

00:23:26--> 00:23:29

He would be children of Adam,

00:23:33--> 00:23:38

so long as you call upon me and asked of me.

00:23:39--> 00:23:42

I shall forgive you for what you have done.

00:23:44--> 00:23:46

And I shall not

00:23:49--> 00:23:49

have a son

00:23:50--> 00:23:51

or child.

00:23:53--> 00:23:56

What are your sins to reach the clouds

00:23:57--> 00:23:58

of the sky?

00:24:00--> 00:24:04

And wherever you went to ask forgiveness of me.

00:24:05--> 00:24:06

I will forgive you.

00:24:08--> 00:24:09

This is a promise from the laws of habit.

00:24:11--> 00:24:20

This is a deal. This is an opportunity for those people who recognize this as an opportunity

00:24:27--> 00:24:27

to see

00:24:33--> 00:24:34

senses head

00:24:38--> 00:24:40

during the day, for the spirit of the night.

00:24:43--> 00:24:53

And he extended his hands during the night for the center and the offender of the day to retention

00:25:00--> 00:25:01

unite is

00:25:02--> 00:25:10

to protect ourselves from citizens to the best of our capacity. However, no matter how much we try to fold into cities,

00:25:13--> 00:25:16

without it tells us as people forgiveness,

00:25:19--> 00:25:22

tried to stop sending, you won't be able to

00:25:24--> 00:25:26

try your best don't commit sins.

00:25:29--> 00:25:33

The most important part is that you recognize that you're a sinner.

00:25:35--> 00:25:37

Are you a violator,

00:25:38--> 00:25:39

don't deny,

00:25:40--> 00:25:41

don't pretend,

00:25:43--> 00:25:44

don't ignore,

00:25:45--> 00:25:47

respond to the law.

00:25:49--> 00:25:52

He's presenting you with an opportunity.

00:25:53--> 00:25:57

And this opportunity continues to be available

00:25:58--> 00:25:59

until the last minute.

00:26:01--> 00:26:03

So don't wait until the last minute.

00:26:04--> 00:26:11

Because you don't know who that is. You may be living your last minute as we speak.

00:26:18--> 00:26:20

However, in order for you to repent,

00:26:22--> 00:26:34

it will be for you to ask for forgiveness. In order for you to say I'm sorry, you must recognize that you're sorry that you did something that should make you smarter.

00:26:35--> 00:26:36

And that's what

00:26:38--> 00:26:47

a lot of medical people want. First thing that you're doing is you're recognizing a warrant, establishing the motion of the law on your mind.

00:26:51--> 00:26:55

There is no one way to be worshipped, you have no partners in this lordship.

00:26:58--> 00:27:00

No one else but you

00:27:01--> 00:27:03

know, one was

00:27:05--> 00:27:06

the value

00:27:07--> 00:27:10

or if that significance, value of

00:27:17--> 00:27:19

wealth is not as important, it is not my load.

00:27:22--> 00:27:24

Relationships are not as important.

00:27:28--> 00:27:30

People are not as important.

00:27:32--> 00:27:34

status is not as important.

00:27:35--> 00:27:37

Nothing is as important you and my

00:27:40--> 00:27:45

wife took an eye on your sleep, and then got iPhone five.

00:27:52--> 00:27:55

Because I tend to be happy and successful in this life.

00:28:04--> 00:28:09

reason to be the slave of gold and a slate of silver.

00:28:12--> 00:28:12

miserable.

00:28:22--> 00:28:24

I'm not just thinking of fashion, because

00:28:31--> 00:28:32

I'm only you

00:28:35--> 00:28:38

manage yourself saying this every morning.

00:28:40--> 00:28:40

While

00:28:43--> 00:28:45

I'm still committed to the covenant.

00:28:48--> 00:28:49

Yes, I do.

00:28:50--> 00:28:54

I do pray my promise sometimes. But I'm still committed.

00:28:55--> 00:29:01

Deep inside my heart said that was just my desires, my shortcomings in

00:29:02--> 00:29:07

my last elucidation, but I am committed, I'm still committed.

00:29:08--> 00:29:09

What I

00:29:12--> 00:29:14

promise most of the

00:29:16--> 00:29:16

week.

00:29:19--> 00:29:21

I know I'm not as strong as I should be.

00:29:23--> 00:29:29

But to the best of my ability, sincerely, and genuinely, I'm committed.

00:29:36--> 00:29:42

I confess, I don't. I promise you failure is upon me.

00:29:44--> 00:29:45

Let me also

00:29:47--> 00:29:51

allow me more time giving me this chance to repent.

00:29:53--> 00:29:54

guiding me to the truth

00:29:55--> 00:29:59

of these blessings. And on top of that giving me this life, giving me

00:30:00--> 00:30:08

Giving me family, wealth, everything, those things that I asked you all those things that I didn't ask you.

00:30:10--> 00:30:16

And if you were to try to count the blessings and the fingers on the wall, you will not be able to,

00:30:17--> 00:30:21

you will not be able to, I recognize all of them for a lot of

00:30:23--> 00:30:39

work to be done be in at the same time, with the same tone, and letting you know that I recognize myself as a sinner, and I recognize my sins and my violations for me, so forgive me for no one. But

00:30:44--> 00:30:46

if you have offended a boss,

00:30:47--> 00:30:53

or if you have offended, or if you live the lifestyle, if you have a pattern.

00:30:55--> 00:31:00

If your pattern of conduct or behavior is the time that

00:31:02--> 00:31:03

involves

00:31:04--> 00:31:09

violations that says that offending others you shouldn't recognize.

00:31:11--> 00:31:12

And you should remember,

00:31:14--> 00:31:15

he may have much

00:31:18--> 00:31:19

left.

00:31:20--> 00:31:21

Last last time,

00:31:23--> 00:31:26

nobody was supposed to do that. We need to get rid of the aisle.

00:31:28--> 00:31:29

And we need to sit with ourselves

00:31:31--> 00:31:35

and those how much we have left home for

00:31:40--> 00:31:41

nuclear

00:31:43--> 00:31:44

constant change.

00:31:47--> 00:31:49

But in order for you to do that you have to play

00:31:51--> 00:31:59

and you have to go through your documents, your papers, your files, and make sure that there is nothing left that could be held against you

00:32:01--> 00:32:03

as Elvis accomplishes

00:32:05--> 00:32:05

how's it

00:32:07--> 00:32:08

was listen to

00:32:12--> 00:32:14

what I said. He said

00:32:24--> 00:32:28

he heard it are back at

00:32:30--> 00:32:31

our

00:32:37--> 00:32:38

company.

00:33:17--> 00:33:32

further assistance as you pray for yourself. Please remember our brothers and sisters who are distressed those who are sick those who passed away and those who are suffering as we speak. In the world, we asked a lot of pesos. Do not forget it.

00:33:34--> 00:33:35

And you're welcome.

00:33:59--> 00:33:59

Hello.

00:34:16--> 00:34:16

Hopefully

00:34:18--> 00:34:19

we'll go

00:34:20--> 00:34:21

through the pain of

00:34:29--> 00:34:29

the code.

00:34:35--> 00:34:37

This rule of thumb

00:34:38--> 00:34:38

that

00:34:40--> 00:34:41

I have

00:34:46--> 00:34:46

in

00:34:49--> 00:34:49

the middle

00:34:52--> 00:34:52

men and

00:34:54--> 00:34:54

women

00:34:56--> 00:34:58

and their secrets to form

00:35:00--> 00:35:00

Welcome to

00:35:14--> 00:35:15

Tommy

00:35:20--> 00:35:21

because he

00:35:28--> 00:35:28

was in

00:35:36--> 00:35:36

a

00:35:38--> 00:35:38

plan

00:35:41--> 00:35:42

that will be adapted

00:35:50--> 00:35:52

for the woman who I love

00:35:53--> 00:35:54

the most

00:35:59--> 00:36:00

you willing to be

00:36:01--> 00:36:02

paid

00:36:05--> 00:36:05

for

00:36:09--> 00:36:10

the support.

00:36:23--> 00:36:27

We're approaching them today, many people arrive,

00:36:29--> 00:36:30

they come up with what they call,

00:36:31--> 00:36:32

what do they call.

00:36:33--> 00:36:35

And again we have resolutions,

00:36:36--> 00:36:39

changes and revise that was taking place.

00:36:41--> 00:36:42

Many people

00:36:43--> 00:36:46

try to adopt

00:36:47--> 00:36:53

new ways of doing things and dealing with managing their lives.

00:36:55--> 00:36:56

Some people

00:36:57--> 00:36:58

consider

00:37:00--> 00:37:00

improving

00:37:02--> 00:37:03

their relationships.

00:37:04--> 00:37:05

Others consider

00:37:07--> 00:37:08

improving their health

00:37:09--> 00:37:10

and watching their diet

00:37:11--> 00:37:12

and losing weight.

00:37:14--> 00:37:17

Others decided promise

00:37:18--> 00:37:22

to have better management of their minds and their time and their finance.

00:37:24--> 00:37:27

These are just some of the examples. And some,

00:37:30--> 00:37:34

some might be reviewing their policies, their foreign policies

00:37:35--> 00:37:37

to deal with their failure

00:37:38--> 00:37:39

at all levels,

00:37:40--> 00:37:45

from the individual all the way to the President, everybody review their policies

00:37:47--> 00:37:48

and their programs.

00:37:50--> 00:37:51

However,

00:37:53--> 00:37:55

there is one disease

00:37:56--> 00:37:59

that I'll talk about today to talk

00:38:00--> 00:38:01

about changes

00:38:03--> 00:38:04

and improving

00:38:05--> 00:38:09

our lives and improving our behavior. There's one disease

00:38:10--> 00:38:11

today

00:38:13--> 00:38:14

a disease

00:38:16--> 00:38:18

that you only find among human beings.

00:38:21--> 00:38:22

a disease

00:38:23--> 00:38:26

that almost every single one of us

00:38:27--> 00:38:33

falls into or is guilty of, or at least is susceptible to

00:38:36--> 00:38:39

a disease comes in the form

00:38:40--> 00:38:42

of a defense mechanism

00:38:45--> 00:38:46

is a disease

00:38:47--> 00:38:53

that stands between you and change. positive change

00:38:55--> 00:38:59

is a disease that stands before you

00:39:00--> 00:39:03

and blocks you or stops you

00:39:04--> 00:39:08

from adopting positive change and improving your life.

00:39:10--> 00:39:14

It's that change when you have improvements improvement.

00:39:16--> 00:39:18

Then we have progress.

00:39:20--> 00:39:22

And almost every single one of us falls

00:39:24--> 00:39:25

or falls victim to it.

00:39:28--> 00:39:29

You know I came across a heavy

00:39:34--> 00:39:35

recommends

00:39:38--> 00:39:43

a prayer supplication called the master of

00:39:44--> 00:39:52

seeking forgiveness, the master of ceremonies. You seek forgiveness. Forgiveness

00:39:55--> 00:39:59

is a prayer and supplication part was by the grace of God

00:40:00--> 00:40:04

It is recommended that you decided every day that every night,

00:40:05--> 00:40:08

at least once during the day during

00:40:15--> 00:40:18

the meeting was memorizing a lot of my therapy

00:40:19--> 00:40:19

that it has,

00:40:21--> 00:40:22

my Lord,

00:40:24--> 00:40:30

you have there is no deity worthy to be worshipped. But you and you created me while you're sleep.

00:40:32--> 00:40:32

While

00:40:36--> 00:40:37

still,

00:40:40--> 00:40:41

I'm still committed

00:40:43--> 00:40:44

to companies.

00:40:45--> 00:40:49

And I promise to the best of my ability.

00:40:55--> 00:41:00

I admit, and I recognize and I acknowledge your failures upon me,

00:41:02--> 00:41:03

your favorites upon me.

00:41:07--> 00:41:11

At the same time, I confess my sins.

00:41:12--> 00:41:14

And I acknowledge that simple.

00:41:17--> 00:41:20

I'm not deserving of those fingers.

00:41:22--> 00:41:23

But you are deserving

00:41:25--> 00:41:27

of generosity and kindness.

00:41:28--> 00:41:29

That's what you're saying.

00:41:31--> 00:41:37

When you confess the last panel that well we then the jury, so forgive me for in the lab,

00:41:38--> 00:41:42

and for no one other than you forgives sins.

00:41:43--> 00:41:44

Every day,

00:41:48--> 00:41:49

I came across this ad,

00:41:52--> 00:41:56

as I was preparing my thoughts, and my colleagues,

00:41:58--> 00:42:14

for my football, to talk about how do we approach the end of the year and how we improve and change. And then I said, you know, what, this actually addresses that disease. So, let me talk about it before I talk about anything else.

00:42:17--> 00:42:20

The disease, that this country

00:42:22--> 00:42:23

addresses and talks about

00:42:27--> 00:42:31

in addition to the diseases and other things,

00:42:33--> 00:42:35

is a disease like denial,

00:42:37--> 00:42:38

denial,

00:42:40--> 00:42:45

denial, which is a psychological process in which human beings

00:42:47--> 00:42:53

try, they attempt by altering and distorting reality.

00:42:55--> 00:42:56

They attempt

00:42:57--> 00:42:58

to protect themselves

00:43:01--> 00:43:03

and defend themselves from any threats or

00:43:05--> 00:43:06

threats that come

00:43:09--> 00:43:10

and make them

00:43:11--> 00:43:13

lose control, advise

00:43:14--> 00:43:22

or throw them out of balance, or 13, one of their basic human needs, anytime they are confronted with one of those

00:43:24--> 00:43:26

threatening events

00:43:27--> 00:43:29

or behaviors,

00:43:30--> 00:43:32

they immediately resort to deny,

00:43:35--> 00:43:37

thus, setting the ground

00:43:38--> 00:43:47

and allowing themselves to fall victims for many kinds of problems, including addiction.

00:43:48--> 00:43:51

They become addicted or to become obsessed.

00:43:53--> 00:43:59

And they suffer miserable failures in their lives because of this problem, denial.

00:44:01--> 00:44:03

You see, denial is the first

00:44:06--> 00:44:09

of those defense defense mechanisms

00:44:12--> 00:44:13

that human beings resorption.

00:44:15--> 00:44:19

And you can only find this amongst human beings, maybe genes

00:44:21--> 00:44:24

and not only have to do

00:44:27--> 00:44:28

maybe aspirators.

00:44:31--> 00:44:33

When you bury your head in the sand,

00:44:34--> 00:44:41

pretending or trying to convince yourself that your problems don't exist.

00:44:43--> 00:44:43

Or

00:44:45--> 00:44:55

when you blame your problems on other people and other external factors. It has nothing to do with you your shortcomings or

00:44:56--> 00:44:57

your deficiencies. No.

00:44:59--> 00:44:59

It is referred to

00:45:00--> 00:45:04

Someone else or some other factors, circumstances.

00:45:07--> 00:45:09

And people suffer this

00:45:10--> 00:45:10

at all.

00:45:13--> 00:45:20

But in many cases, brothers and sisters, because of their denial, not only do they suffer, but those who are irrelevant suffer.

00:45:21--> 00:45:23

And sometimes nations

00:45:24--> 00:45:29

suffer because of the denial that one person lives.

00:45:33--> 00:45:34

So in this heading,

00:45:36--> 00:45:38

the province of aloha teaches

00:45:41--> 00:45:50

English, the first thing that you do is you confess, you admit your knowledge and you get rid of your denial.

00:45:52--> 00:45:56

You don't deny you recognize reality for what it is.

00:45:59--> 00:46:01

You see people suffering

00:46:04--> 00:46:08

when they, for example, deny problems

00:46:09--> 00:46:13

or blame their problems in their relationship dilemmas

00:46:14--> 00:46:16

or financial history.

00:46:17--> 00:46:18

There's nothing wrong.

00:46:20--> 00:46:22

It's not their style, it is someone else's

00:46:26--> 00:46:26

system.

00:46:29--> 00:46:41

health wise, many people suffer for years before they are willing, before they have the courage to confront themselves and say, You know what, I need to put an end to it.

00:46:42--> 00:46:42

Why

00:46:44--> 00:46:45

would I have the solution

00:46:47--> 00:46:48

within my reach?

00:46:53--> 00:46:55

People do the same thing toilets.

00:46:57--> 00:47:01

Their children might be suffering, suffocating spiritual

00:47:04--> 00:47:04

crisis.

00:47:09--> 00:47:10

This is how it is

00:47:12--> 00:47:13

when

00:47:15--> 00:47:18

their spouses might be suffering.

00:47:20--> 00:47:27

And they might be falling in a state of despair. They don't even talk about it anymore, because they talk about it

00:47:29--> 00:47:35

will just be a problem. So you know what, say you don't even talk about it.

00:47:37--> 00:47:38

So they don't talk.

00:47:39--> 00:47:44

And they continue to suffer for years. And then at the end, under pressure, they slow

00:47:45--> 00:47:47

it all at the same time.

00:47:48--> 00:47:53

Everything comes on you at the same time. Why? Because you've been in denial for years.

00:47:56--> 00:47:57

And legend wise.

00:48:01--> 00:48:01

People

00:48:03--> 00:48:06

who might be responsible or in charge of other people

00:48:08--> 00:48:13

live in denial, causing suffering and pain to those who are under the leadership.

00:48:16--> 00:48:16

So this

00:48:18--> 00:48:20

teaches us that the first thing that you need to do

00:48:21--> 00:48:23

is confess, get rid of

00:48:24--> 00:48:34

recognize have the courage. You see brothers and sisters, someone might ask what are the causes of many things, as I said, it's a natural defense mechanism.

00:48:37--> 00:48:40

But it has cognitive components.

00:48:43--> 00:48:48

It has behavioral components to it.

00:48:50--> 00:48:52

It's a character flaw for someone to continue

00:48:54--> 00:48:55

living in denial.

00:48:58--> 00:49:03

Despite the suffering that he feels or the suffering of others.

00:49:05--> 00:49:06

It is a character flaw.

00:49:07--> 00:49:12

It might be because of arrogance is some people sometimes think that how can I

00:49:14--> 00:49:15

How can I be so bad?

00:49:16--> 00:49:18

It's not me it's some other people.

00:49:20--> 00:49:24

There's nothing wrong with me. And arrogance

00:49:25--> 00:49:28

is a disease in itself. Very wise.

00:49:31--> 00:49:33

speech of its sole

00:49:34--> 00:49:36

interest they're not aware.

00:49:40--> 00:49:43

They're aware of all they see on the side that they don't know.

00:49:46--> 00:49:48

To be brothers and sisters.

00:49:49--> 00:49:54

Lack of character is put badly lack of courage.

00:49:55--> 00:49:57

People don't have the courage to confront

00:49:58--> 00:49:59

their

00:50:00--> 00:50:05

problems, their challenges, their deficiencies and their shortcomings. So as a lot of you have

00:50:07--> 00:50:11

the power, the strength and the courage to confront the shortcomings

00:50:12--> 00:50:16

and our problems and our deficiencies and help us overcome them

00:50:17--> 00:50:18

as a loss of

00:50:19--> 00:50:21

power powers, to inspire.

00:50:56--> 00:50:57

The purpose of the law is

00:50:59--> 00:51:01

that Allah subhanho data calls upon

00:51:05--> 00:51:07

human beings, children of Adam,

00:51:12--> 00:51:17

so long as you call upon me, and asked of me,

00:51:18--> 00:51:21

I shall forgive you for what you have done.

00:51:23--> 00:51:25

And I shall not

00:51:28--> 00:51:28

have a son,

00:51:29--> 00:51:30

or child.

00:51:32--> 00:51:35

What are you since to reach the clouds

00:51:36--> 00:51:37

of the sky?

00:51:38--> 00:51:43

And where do you then to ask forgiveness of me?

00:51:44--> 00:51:45

I will forgive you.

00:51:46--> 00:51:48

This is a promise from philosophy.

00:51:50--> 00:51:59

This is a deal. This is an opportunity for those people who recognize this as an opportunity.

00:52:07--> 00:52:08

Your

00:52:12--> 00:52:13

senses head

00:52:16--> 00:52:19

during the day, for the spirit of the night.

00:52:22--> 00:52:32

And he said his hands during the life for the sinner and the offender of the day to retention

00:52:38--> 00:52:40

is asking you is

00:52:41--> 00:52:49

to protect themselves from citizens to the best of our capacity. However, no matter how much we try to fold into cities,

00:52:52--> 00:52:55

without it tells us asking for forgiveness.

00:52:58--> 00:53:01

You tried to stop sending you won't be able to

00:53:03--> 00:53:04

try your best or

00:53:08--> 00:53:12

the most important part is that you recognize that you're a sinner.

00:53:17--> 00:53:18

Don't be naive.

00:53:19--> 00:53:20

Don't pretend,

00:53:21--> 00:53:23

don't ignore,

00:53:24--> 00:53:26

respond to the law.

00:53:28--> 00:53:30

He's presenting you with an opportunity.

00:53:31--> 00:53:36

And this opportunity continues to be available

00:53:37--> 00:53:38

until the last minute.

00:53:40--> 00:53:42

So don't wait until the last minute.

00:53:43--> 00:53:50

Because you don't know who that last minute is. You may be last minute as we speak.

00:53:57--> 00:53:59

However, in order for you to repent,

00:54:01--> 00:54:13

it will be for you to ask for forgiveness. In order for you to say I'm sorry. You must recognize that you're sorry that you did something that should make you smarter.

00:54:14--> 00:54:15

That's what the

00:54:19--> 00:54:26

first thing that you're doing is you're recognizing a warrant establishing the motion of the law on your mind.

00:54:30--> 00:54:34

There's no need to be worshipped God no partners in this lordship.

00:54:36--> 00:54:39

I recognize no one else but you

00:54:40--> 00:54:42

know, one was

00:54:44--> 00:54:45

the value

00:54:46--> 00:54:50

or significance value of nursing homes.

00:54:53--> 00:54:54

And newborn

00:54:55--> 00:54:58

wealth is not as important. It is not my Lord.

00:55:01--> 00:55:03

Relationships are not as important.

00:55:07--> 00:55:09

People are not as important.

00:55:11--> 00:55:13

status is not as important.

00:55:14--> 00:55:16

Nothing is as important you

00:55:19--> 00:55:24

took an eye on your sleeve. And in that iPhone five

00:55:31--> 00:55:36

because I tend to be happy and successful in this life, and a profitable plus

00:55:39--> 00:55:39

there is our

00:55:42--> 00:55:48

mission to be the slave of gold and the slave of silver.

00:55:50--> 00:55:51

miserable.

00:56:01--> 00:56:02

I'm not just thinking of fashion, because

00:56:10--> 00:56:11

I'm only you

00:56:13--> 00:56:17

message yourself saying this every morning.

00:56:19--> 00:56:19

While

00:56:21--> 00:56:24

I'm still committed to the covenant,

00:56:27--> 00:56:29

yes, I do violate

00:56:30--> 00:56:33

my father sometimes. But I'm still committed.

00:56:34--> 00:56:40

Deep inside. My mindset is just my desires, my shortcomings in

00:56:41--> 00:56:46

my last elucidation, but I am committed, I'm still committed.

00:56:50--> 00:56:52

Did I promise last

00:56:55--> 00:56:55

week.

00:56:58--> 00:57:00

I know I'm not as strong as I should be.

00:57:02--> 00:57:03

But to the best of my ability I

00:57:05--> 00:57:08

genuinely am committed.

00:57:15--> 00:57:21

I confess, I don't, I promise you failure is upon me.

00:57:23--> 00:57:24

Let me also

00:57:26--> 00:57:30

allow me more time, giving me this chance to repent.

00:57:32--> 00:57:33

guiding me to the truth

00:57:34--> 00:57:47

of these blessings. And on top of that, giving me this life giving me help giving me family, wealth, everything, those things that I asked you all those things that I didn't ask you.

00:57:49--> 00:57:55

And if you were to try to count the blessings, and the fingers of luck, you will not be able to,

00:57:56--> 00:57:59

you will not be able to recognize all of them.

00:58:02--> 00:58:19

work will be done in at the same time, with the same time and letting you know that I recognize myself as a sinner, and I recognize my sins and my violations for me, so forgive me for Nolan with you for peace.

00:58:23--> 00:58:25

If you have offended a boss,

00:58:26--> 00:58:32

or if you have offended, or if you live the lifestyle, if you have a pattern.

00:58:34--> 00:58:39

If your pattern of conduct and behavior is the time that

00:58:41--> 00:58:42

involves

00:58:43--> 00:58:48

violations and sins that offending others you shouldn't recognize.

00:58:50--> 00:58:51

And you should remember

00:58:53--> 00:58:54

that you may not have much

00:58:57--> 00:58:58

left.

00:58:59--> 00:59:00

Last last time.

00:59:01--> 00:59:05

Nobody was supposed to do that. We need to get rid of denial.

00:59:06--> 00:59:12

And we need to sit with ourselves take agility of those days and those habits a lot of how much should we

00:59:14--> 00:59:14

hold for

00:59:19--> 00:59:19

nuclear

00:59:22--> 00:59:23

constant change.

00:59:26--> 00:59:29

But in order for you to do that, you have to plan for it.

00:59:30--> 00:59:38

And you have to go through your documents, your papers, your files, and make sure that there is nothing left that could be held against you.

00:59:40--> 00:59:40

As

00:59:41--> 00:59:42

accomplished this

00:59:46--> 00:59:52

was in 2008 American one has a global

00:59:55--> 00:59:56

problem.
