So watch this and ill come back at the end of todays program. I was expecting a cry, but the room was quiet and you could basically hear a pin drop in that room. There was no life in him. He wasnt breathing or anything. Junaid looked at the baby and he told me, theres something wrong. I was born muslim because my mother married a muslim man. His name was mohammed esau. They separated when i was two years old and at that point my mother, i think, she went back to being christian. I come from a christian background and basically grew up in a methodist church, attending sunday school there and all the sunday school outings, but not really very personal. I knew there was a god. I knew about jesus, but i never fully understood his love for me. I thought he only loves me on special occasions. At eight years old, my grandma put a bible in my hand, and she said, junaid, i want you to read this, basically, and i read religiously. For years and years it was just me, my bible and god. After a cha
Years old, i was living on the streets of new york. I got involved with drugs and alcohol, and for many of those years, i was an alcoholic and a drug addict. I wound up doing about 6, 6 1 2 years in prison. Finally, a judge sent me to a drug treatment center. They focused on me becoming accountable for my behavior, and thats when my career as a therapist really began. Its a long way from a jail cell to a masters degree in social work. Absolutely. And im only telling you this because i want to give hope to parents. If i can change, anybody can change. If youre sitting out there now, and youve got a 6yearold or an 8yearold or a 14yearold whos having terrible behavior problems, whos not listening and whos not learning, i want to give you some hope. People change, but they have to know how to change, and thats where the total Transformation Program comes in. Look, parents need help. Youre not born knowing how to deal with behavior problems. The total Transformation Program is a stepbystep
All of thats your imagination and very few people use that. Turn over to romans, chapter 8 and man, im talking fast. Im wearing myself out. Im saying a lot, but let me just say this. If all of these things im saying is true, and theres many, many other scriptures that i havent been able to turn to. If all of this is true. If your imagination is all of this powerful and if thats where you conceive then how come all but one reference in the bible to imagination is negative . The only positive reference is the one i quoted in 1 chronicles 29 18 where david prayed lord, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of their heart, and that was a positive thing. Everything else. It says god saw the imagination of mens hearts that it was evil continually. 2 corinthians, chapter 10, verses 3 through 5, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but they are mighty through god to the pulling down of strong holds, casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself agains
With hyperactivity or. Or. Or lack of ability to concentrate because we could see he couldnt even sit down to eat a meal. He would run around the table. Take him off and run on the table. And when i taught him his numbers, we would do it in garden. I would ask him a sum as he ran out in the garden and he answered coming down the garden and this is how i taught him. He never sat on my lap or lay in bed when i had a bedtime story. He would walk around the carpet, touching his favorite bits, going round and round and round, and as long as i would keep reading, he would just keep walking round and round touching his favorite bits. Everything was timed so he knew where he was in the day, what was going to happen next and the routine had to be very structured. His sleeping had always been a huge issue. He would wake up after he had been asleep for an hour or two and he would jump up screaming in terror and run around the house, but he didnt recognize me. If i went towards him to comfort him,
Out of the condemnation and the guilt of the old covenant into the joy and the victory of the new covenant. Man, thats huge this is huge and heres the way that i want to approach this. Instead of starting at hebrews, chapter 1 and going through, im going to jump over to hebrews, chapter 10, because in a sense hes summarizing some of the things that he said right here and so what i want to do. Instead of teaching verse by verse through the book of hebrews, because if i do that, there is so much material in here, it could lit. I could spend over a month teaching on this on television easily. So what im going to do is go and take these summaries. Some of the highlights of the book of hebrews. Make these points and then go back to individual scriptures in the earlier part of the book of hebrews to substantiate it and show you the points that were being made, and so as a whole, what we will do in two weeks time, we will basically give a bres. Brief synopsis of the book of hebrews and i thin
