WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: FIGHTING FEAR

In Job we find a verse that sums up why we should not walk in fear.

Job 3:25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

The fear was bigger to us than our faith in God. When people focus on their fears, they will find a way to manifest. It’s like if you ever read your horoscope of the morning and it says something’s going to happen, if you truly believe that horoscopes are real then you’ll find a way to make that happen. Then they will say, my horoscope said that this thing was gonna happen. If you wait until the end of the day and read it, none of that happened, because it wasn’t what you focused on, the suggestion was not there to manipulate your thoughts.

The same goes for fear, if worry and anxiety is at the forefront of your thoughts, then the things you worry about will manifest in your life. Fear is from the enemy. He wants nothing more than to distract our focus from God. He loves to cause us to be caught up in fear. When we walk in fear we cannot hear God clearly. We spend a lot of energy being tormented by the enemy.

I John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

We will not fear if we can fully accept that Jesus has got us. Fear is the enemy trying to get us to lean on our own understanding and ideas. Fear causes us to read things into our situations that do not belong. And through the manipulation of the enemy we start to believe the fears. Anyone who has ever been bound by the spirit of fear or by anxiety will verify that it is torment. Which puts us where the enemy wants us. But we don’t have to live in torment. Jesus is our peace. We fight the battle in our minds. We fight the fiery darts of fear and anxiety with the word of God. Keeping our focus on our faith will go a long way in alleviating the lies that create fear.

2 Tim 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

This says that fear doesn’t come from God. If it’s not from God then there is only one other place it could come from; our enemy. God gives us power to overcome the enemy. He gives us power to endure our trials. He gives us love and peace in our minds. We have a choice in the matter, whose report are we going to believe? God’s report says we have a sound mind. God’s report that says we have peace that passes all understanding. Will we allow fear to overtake us and believe all the lies of the enemy. The battle is truly in our minds. We can be overcomers by quoting the word to the enemy. If you don’t know it well enough to quote it, open the word and read it to the enemy. When we resist the devil, he has to flee and take his fear and anxiety with him.

Until next time,

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: PURPOSE OF A BELIEVER

I have a deep question today, what is our purpose as a believer? The word says we are made in the image of God. There is a purpose to our lives once we have become children of God. I want to cover the purpose of being a believer. We each have a unique calling to be fulfill in our lives. God will lead us into that particular path for our lives.

However, on a more general note, we all have been filled with the power of God for a purpose. I want to go into those purposes a little with you this morning. We were created to know God personally. We were made in the image of God. He wants nothing more than to have a relationship with us.

Hebrews 10:22: Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

James 4:8: Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

BECOMING LIKE CHRIST

Our purpose is to become more like Christ. He desires for us to have unity of faith. He has equipped his body to have stability in him. We should know the truth and stand on it. It is not his wish for us to be tossed about with every wind of doctrine and deceit of man. We need to be more like Christ. He will empower us to do his will and fulfill our purpose.

Eph 4:11-15 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—

Our purpose is to be witnesses and share the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to the world. This is where most of our purpose lies in bringing glory to our Father and to lead the lost to Christ. This is every Christian’s purpose. We have different ways of doing this through our unique purpose, but it all works together for the glory of our God.

In summary, our purpose is to work with other believers to bring honor to the name of Jesus. To witness to the lost and point them to Christ. He has equipped the ministry with offices that will function to keep the body on the right path as we go forth and show the world God’s love. We are all called to love and to serve. That love and service means different things for each person. However, the results will work the purpose of God in the earth and bring unity to the body of Christ and salvation to the lost.

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING –EP438 SPIRITUAL EYES

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v7170uc-god-focus-this-morning-ep438-spiritual-eyes.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: SPIRITUAL EYES

As believers God has opened our eyes that we can see the gospel enough to receive salvation. But most do not ever have their eyes opened any wider. They believe the stories in the bible to be true, but do not believe they can happen today.

I have seen miracles with my own eyes. I know that God can deliver and heal. I know that we are entering a time that God is going to show up with miracles, signs and wonders to shake loose the world from bondage. This is how we will reap the final large harvest for the kingdom of God.

I have personally seen broken bones healed instantly, I have seen a woman that was bowed at the waist and could not stand strait, be healed and she walked upright. I’ve seen large gashes in flesh grow together. Once when praying for a man to be healed, my grandfather had a large tumor of skin cancer fall off of a man’s face in his hand. The man was healed instantly. But we need to expect to see the miracles by our faith, or we will never see these things.

All of these things are seen with the physical eyes. I want to talk today about asking God to open your spiritual eyes that you may see in the realm of the spirit.

2 KGS 6:15-18 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? 16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. 18 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the Lord, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

This servant was afraid and didn’t know what they were going to do. Because he was looking at the situation through natural eyes. The Syrian army surrounded them and things appeared to be grim, no way out. But Elisha prayed and God opened the spiritual eyes of his servant and he was amazed. Surrounding them were horses and chariots of fire. God had sent his angels to protect Elisha and his servant.

In the times in which we live, we need our spiritual eyes to be opened to see more clearly. But we should not ask if we are not ready to see, because things are not always rainbows and roses. Sometimes God shows us things our physical self doesn’t want to see. But in his wisdom, he knows that it is best for us to see. God is the God of miracle, but we have to believe when we pray or we will never see anything.

Think what comfort it was to Elisha’s servant to see the angel army. His fear went from sky high level to gone. This was all because God opened his eyes to see. We too can see the things of God more deeply. If we truly desire to see the miracles of God, he will not disappoint us.

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP436 PSALM 91

Click here for video version: https://rumble.com/v710ta4-god-focus-this-morning-ep436-psalm-91.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: PSALM 91

There is a lot of powerful encouragement in the Psalms. Psalm 91 is something I read almost daily. I thought since I have not had a lot of time to dig in the word this week I would read it to you.

Psalm 91:1-4 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

If we can make sure that we have a God connection that makes us feel safe, he is our protector and our shield. He is our covering of righteousness.

Psalm 91:5-16 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Read this for yourself and dwell on each of the verses. They tell us a lot about the character of our God. He will protect his people from the enemy. He created angels to watch over us. How important and special we must be if he sends his angels to protect us. Let that sink in for a moment.

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP434 FAITH

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v70xd7m-god-focus-this-morning-ep434-faith.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: Faith

Good Morning, today I want to touch on the foundation of a believer. We must first develop enough faith to believe that there is a God and his word is true. We must believe that he wants to save us from our sins. Developing faith is the beginning of having Godly wisdom.

HEB 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Without faith we cannot please God. He wants us to trust him. He wants us to believe in him and his word. Anyone who comes to him must believe or have faith that he is God. Some do not believe that God exists. He is a rewarder of those who believe in Him. Jesus desires for us to have faith and trust him. He will pour out blessings on his people.

Faith mean that we see things with our hearts that we cannot yet see with our eyes. We have to call things that are not as though they already are in our tangible world; like Abraham.

Our faith in God gives us a heart to help others. Our faith is a fruit or byproduct of God’s Spirit indwelling in us. We walk by this faith which helps us to grow and be a light to others.

I want to be found walking by faith and not by how the enemy would spin the truth to make things appear. We can not rely on how things seem, we have to see them through God’s eyes. We need to see them through the eyes of faith. Yes it may seem scary, but faith says that God will not leave us to deal with our troubles and trials alone.

Faith means that no matter what we are facing, we trust him. He will not fail us.

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP433 LIFT US UP

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v70vnbk-god-focus-this-morning-ep433-lift-us-up.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: LIFT US UP

It doesn’t matter how far human beings sink, God is able to reach down and lift them out of their sin. As long as they do not go so far as to blasphemy against the spirit of God or the Holy Ghost. Many Christians have an epiphany moment where they cried out to God and he reached down and lifted them out of the pit.

Psalm 40:1-2 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

God will establish us. He will make sure the foundation under our feet is a solid foundation.

Is 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

We have no reason to fear, God is with us. He will give us strength and will give us the help we need. He will lift us up or hold us up to keep us from falling. We can be encouraged to know that God is with us.

He turns our mourning into joy. He gives us good things to replace the bad things. He gives us beauty for ashes. When the enemy tries to burn down our lives and we are left to mourn over what may have been. God is right there to give us peace and encourage us that he will give us a different outcome.

Is 63:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

Our lives are meant to glorify God. We cannot glorify him if we are sad and depressed all the time. I am not saying we will not walk through times of saddness and mourning. That is just life, but some people choose to live their lives in that state all the time. We were never meant to be void of joy. God will give us joy, if we will delight in him and give him praise. God will give us strength in our struggles.

We can be sure he will never abandon us to be overtaken by the enemy. God is there, all we have to do is call on his name and he will lift us up.

Thanks for watching,

Until next time,

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP431 THIS IS WAR

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v70d0zs-god-focus-this-morning-ep431-this-is-war.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: THIS IS WAR

Make no mistake my friends we are in a war for the soul of our nation. Many souls hang in the balance and we have to tip the scales to the right side; God’s side. Far too long we have sat back and watched the enemy take territories, and all we have done is shake our heads and talk about how bad things are getting. Today is the day of salvation. Today is also the day we take our stand. It is time to go to battle.

2 Cor 10:4-5 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Weapons of our warfare are not carnal or physical because our battle is not carnal. Our battle is spiritual. But what happens in the Spirit realm manifests in the physical realm. People don’t show signs of sin in their lives until the enemy has placed sinful desires in their spirit. If they don’t take control and ask God to cleanse and remove the sinful lusts they will manifest in their lives.

Our weapons through God can pull down the strong holds of the enemy. Every thought that goes through our minds needs to be measured against the word of God. The battlefield is our minds. The enemy will tell us lies to see if we will believe them. Accepting those lies as truth is the beginning of our downfall. That is how the enemy gets a foothold.

James 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

The body of Christ needs to be restored to shine God’s glory into the darkeness. It is time the church became like Nehemiah. He was trying to restore Jerusalem. The people had a mind to work. They would work with their weapons within reach. One place said they had a tool in one hand and a sword in another. We are fortunate because our tool and our weapon is the same, THE BIBLE. We can study it and learn it. Using it as a tool to further our understanding of God and his plans. But we can also take that powerful weapon and use it to defend against the attacks of the enemy. When he tries to whisper lies, we can combat those lies with the word of God. But that can only happen if we have studied it and know the Word.

The Bible is not the only way we fight our battles. Worship is our weapon too. The enemy hates it when we sing praises to God. The church sometimes forgets what worship is; it is singing praises to God and so much more. Worship takes the focus off of us and puts the focus on him. Worship means getting lost in his presence, when everything around you fades away and it is just you and Jesus.

Prayer is another weapon. We fight our battles on our knees. God will answer when we pray. Prayer is our God connection. It is our communication system that helps us to hear from God. He has promised to fight our battles. But we have to praise and pray for him to lead us where we need to go.

Matt 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

His word says he will open things up to us if we pray. Prayer helps us to boldly approach the throne. The significance of prayer is to help guide us and to reassure us that he is there. He is big enough to handle our biggest problems.

James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

The effectual fervent prayer means passionate, not yielding or intense prayer will go a long way in getting God to answer.

Tomorrow we will discuss this subject further.

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP430 BRACE FOR IMPACT

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v70bawe-god-focus-this-morning-ep430-brace-for-impact.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: BRACE FOR IMPACT

We are living in intense times. The enemy is working overtime to destroy the body of Christ. He knows he is about to lose his foothold. Every day, he is roaming around trying to cause division and trouble. He is doing all he can through his people to destroy God’s people. Things look dark and may look darker before the light shines brightly. Look at Egypt, their darkness was so thick that they could not even get out of bed. But in Goshen where God’s people dwelled there was light. God will never leave us groping in the dark to find our path. He is the light of the world and he lives within us. We will always have light, even in the darkest world.

We have brace ourselves and make 100% sure our foundation is strong. If our feet are planted on a solid foundation, it doesn’t matter how much the enemy roars. We will be left standing strong when the enemy has given up.

The phrase brace for impact often is used when there is about to be a crash. It means get yourself in a position of protection. It is used on airplanes when they are about to crash. It means that people make sure they are buckled in and they bend down, using their arms to cover and protect their head. It is more broadly used in our society to mean get ready to ride out a difficult situation.

When one braces for an actual impact bracing will reduce injuries from a second impact. Like being belted in a seat will keep you from being tossed about, holding your arms over your head keeps them from flailing about and getting injured.

When we brace for impact, it could mean that we are preparing to deal with an attack from our enemy. We can be prepared by praying more and asking God to reveal what we need to know to face each day.

The enemy is seeking for anyone he can destroy. We have to make sure we are in a position of protection. Are we in communication with the one the can keep us safe from all the attacks of our enemy.

1 Pet 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Just because Peter used the analogy of a lion doesn’t mean we should be afraid of the enemy. He was speaking on some of the other attributes of a lion, like how they quietly sneak up on their prey. They will wait quietly for just the right moment to pounce. We have to be wise and know that the enemy is working hard to get us in a weak position. This is why he sometimes attacks on multiple levels.

But there is hope. Our God will fight our battles.

Ex 14:14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

We cannot allow ourselves to be overtaken by the enemy. We have to put on the whole armor of God and stand. It is time that we double down on prayer and seek God even more than ever before, He will protect us from the enemy.

We must overcome evil with good. Negative emotions or actions can cause us to want to lash out at people. Retaliating against the people when the enemy is at fault is the wrong thing to do. Look at Jesus and what all they did to him and he said, Father forgive them they do know what they are doing. That was because Jesus understood that they were being driven by our enemy satan.

Romans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

By putting on our whole armor and preparing to stand against the enemy is our way of bracing for impact in the spiritual realm.

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP428 STANDING ON THE WORD

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v708bos-god-focus-this-morning-ep428-standing-on-the-word.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: STAND ON THE WORD

How often does something come into our lives that shakes us? The enemy will often send adversities to trip us up. If he can’t stop us, he will do all he can to slow us down and get us to become self-centered. We will start to be concern about our situations or how we are feeling physically as he attacks us with sickness.

We can have hope in Jesus. Looking to him will give us the strength we need to stand on his promises. We have to use the word for our foundation. We have to stand on the promises in the Bible.

If our issues is financial, he is our provider.

Phil 4:19-20 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

If the enemy comes to tell you that you are depressed and that you are losing your mind. If we are not careful we will fall into this trap and start speaking that we are going crazy. This is a lie from the pit.

2 Tim 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

If we have accepted depression, suicidal thoughts will soon follow, because the enemy will drag you so far down that you feel there is no way out. But that too is a lie of the enemy. God has a plan for our lives and it is not to be stuck in depression.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Jesus died so that we would not have to fight our battles alone. Everyone in life will have battles. If we are just or unjust, however, the enemy will try to magnify the issues of the just. We just have to be strong in the Lord and the power of his might and resist the enemy. Tell him we are not going to believe his lies.

We all have things come up when our bodies get out of alignment with the way they were designed to operate. When this happens, we must speak the word of God over our bodies, we must come into alignment with what the word says about our condition.

Is 53:3-5 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

He bore our sins, our sickness and our pain in his own body. His sacrifice was to give us an abundant life. Are we going to align our thinking with the word of God or the lies of the enemy?

Now is the time for us to come together and fight the lies of the enemy. The truth needs to be known. God is a God of love and truth. He never made a promise that he will not keep.

I want to leave you with one final scripture today to uplift and encourage you.

Isaiah 40:28-31 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

As children of the MOST HIGH GOD, we just have to keep trusting and waiting upon the Lord he will renew our strength. We may sometimes feel like we wait and wait and nothing happens. But actually, he is giving us strength minute by minute, just to keep holding on until whatever we are praying for comes to pass.

Be encouraged, God is on our side, He will never leave us to fight our battles alone.

Until next time,

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP425 TOO MANY HYPOCRITES

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v700hxm-god-focus-this-morning-ep425-too-many-hypocrites.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: TOO MANY HYPOCRITES

When you ask some people to attend church with you, they use the excuse there are too many hypocrites. They look at all the people that are not fully sold out to the cause of Christ. These people may be in the building, but are not necessarily in the body of Christ. But we cannot allow others to stand in the way of the lost. The enemy will send people to church to cause confusion and hurt feelings.

I Cor 14:3 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

If there is confusion it is because the enemy is trying to divide people. We need to point out to the lost that people are who they are and will do what they choose. Some are painfully in the way of the lost coming in, because they feel they need to judge. They have a Jezebel spirit. They want to control everything about the church. They are good at the lip service but are not in it with their heart. God doesn’t want these people as they are, because God doesn’t want fake worship. He wants true worship and not lip service. But God is patient and can sometimes turn the legalistic and religious into an actual believer.

Matt 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

That is what God says about those who only give him lip service and stand in the way of others. We need to try to get the lost past the fake people. Make them understand that even though they appear to be getting away with things, ultimately, they will meet their end. We will be rewarded for our choices good or bad.

Romans 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

This is a point we must get across to others. That just because Bertha better than you attends service every time the doors open, doesn’t mean she is on her way to heaven. She tries to make herself feel better by judging others. Instead of her working on her own self and figure out how to be sold out to Christ, she chooses to walk in judgment of others.

We have to love everyone, even the hypocrites. Who knows if we can share enough of God’s love with them, maybe they will find a way to be sold out to Christ. Then we will have won another to Christ.

These people will either wake up and change or they will go somewhere else. When they see they are not causing the division they want to cause, they will leave or let God change them.

When we attend worship, we need to forget anyone else is around us and just praise the Lord with our whole heart. Everything else will work itself out.
